British Science Week is entering its third decade in 2025, taking place on 7 — 16 March, and the theme to mark the start of this new era is “Change and adapt”!
Change and adaptation are all around us
Changing and adapting play a big part in science. You can find examples in every area of STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths). Cities, towns and other areas where people live change and adapt. Plants and animals change and adapt to their surroundings to survive.
Our behaviors change too — we need to change how we consume the world’s resources to make up for the worst effects of the climate crisis, and adapt our lifestyles to reduce our impact through recycling or reducing waste. But change and adaptation don’t just happen here on Earth, and even the stars and other heavenly bodies change as they gain and lose mass. Perhaps there is life on other planets that adapts as the environment changes.
When exploring this theme, we can also consider how attitudes to STEM and the people who do it have changed and adapted. Concepts of scientists are changing and we need to keep adapting our thinking until we can no longer picture a stereotypical (模式化的) scientist — anyone can be a scientist.
Get involved
“Change and adapt” offers a huge variety of topics to explore as part of your British Science Week 2025 activities. Why not contribute your thoughts to our discussion using the hashtag (话题标签) # BSW25?
We’ll be opening the British Science Week activity packs call for contents in the coming weeks, so keep your eyes on our website and social media for further details.

Somewhere in California, just up a hill from the beach is a high school, where students will meet before traveling to neighboring San Clemente High School on a Saturday fora 2-mile walk to raise money to build a well in a Kenyan village.
Most Kenyans live where clean water is hard to access. The good news is that water that falls in the rainy season is stored far underground, sometimes as deep as 900 feet. But bringing it to the surface can be a challenge. Sometimes, it requires heavy-duty equipment. Shallower wells are less costly but still require manpower and technology to work. A single well can supply water to an entire village, and this can be life-changing.
Weeks before the first annual Healing Hands for Water Walk Fundraiser event in 2012, students walked in the beach town and asked for donations from businesses. They covered a lot more distance than the 2 miles they would cover during the event as student organizers Branner Grimsley, Klara Gundelach and Solveig Erngren pounded on the boardwalk. “But it was worth it to make a difference by helping these people in Africa,” Grimsley said.
Standing on the boardwalk and looking out over the sand to the horizon and beyond, you can see a lifeline reaching from a few dedicated kids to a similar group of kids in an African village. The connection was hard to imagine at first but now seems so real. Students on both sides of the world walk under the same sun. On other days, they would have different places to go, but today, they walk for the same reason: to share the bond of being one human family.
In another Kenyan village, a well was completed. As the villagers excitedly operated the hand pump, the anticipation built. Within minutes, a trickle of clean water flowed, then a gush. It was a miracle in such a dry village. Buckets were filled, and children splashed water. The tears of joy flowed as easily as the well water.
4. What can we know about building wells in Kenya from paragraph 2?
A. It’s costly and useless. B. It’s easy and interesting
C. It’s challenging but cheap D. It’s difficult but worthwhile.
5. Why does paragraph 4 mention the connection?
A. To praise the event’s participants.
B. To show the difficulty of the event.
C. To share the bond of the human family.
D. To highlight the significance of the event.
6. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The excitement of building a well.
B. The requirement for completing a well.
C. The joyous sight of drawing water from a well.
D. The quality of the water from a local village’s well.
7. Which of the following may be the best title for the text?
A From the Beach to Kenya
B. Students’ Walk on the Beach
C. Walking to a Neighboring School
D. Kenya’s Struggle for Clean Water
C
A study led by UC Riverside (UCR) atmospheric scientists predicts that unchecked carbon emissions(排放物) will force tropical rains to shift northward in the coming decades, which would profoundly impact the regions near the Earth's equator.
The northward rain shift is caused by complex atmospheric changes. These changes are driven by carbon emissions, which in turn influence the formation of tropical convergence (汇集) zones. Those zones are essentially atmospheric engines that drive about a third of the world’s rainfall, which Antony P. Thomas, a professor of climate change and sustainability at UCR reported in a paper published in the journal Nature Climate Change.
Tropical regions on either side the equator, such as central African nations, northern South America, and Pacific island states would be the most affected. Major crops in these regions include coffee, cocoa, palm oil, bananas, sugarcane, tea, mangoes, and pineapples.
Tropical rainforests can have as much as 14 feet of rain a year. “The rainfall change is enormous,” Antony said. “It's a very heavy rainfall region. So, a small shift will cause big changes in the economy of the societies. It will affect many regions.”
Antony and his colleagues used advanced computer models to predict the atmospheric influence of carbon dioxide emissions from continued burning of fossil fuels and other sources.” This climate model included many components of the atmosphere, ocean, sea ice, and land. All these components are interacting with each other,” he said. “Basically, we try to simulate the real world. In the model, we can increase our carbon dioxide emissions from pre-industrial levels to much higher levels.”
The analysis accounted for how carbon emissions influence the amount of radiant energy at the top of atmosphere. It also considered the changes in sea ice, water vapor and cloud formation. These and other factors resulted in conditions that push the rain- forming convergence zones northward by as much as 0.2 degrees on average.
8. What may be the main cause of the rain shift?
A. The rainforests. B. Carbon emissions.
C. The Earth's equator. D. Economic growth.
9. How does Antony feel about the rain shift?
A. Confused. B. Grateful. C. Worried. D. Indifferent.
10. Which word can best describe the study?
A. Comprehensive. B. Widespread. C. Fruitful. D. Historic.
11. What can be inferred from the text?
A. The rain shift is unrelated to human activities.
B. The rain shift threatens equatorial agriculture.
C. The study’s computer models were not precise enough.
D. The impact of the rain shift will be limited to remote areas.
D
Engineer Kerstin Göpfrich builds machines. But rather than building metal devices, she makes tiny ones to work inside our cells. Göpfrich leads a research group focusing on the “engineering of life” at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg, Germany.
Our cells are already full of nature- made machines carrying out the daily tasks of living. Many are proteins. But sometimes our natural protein- machines don’t work right. Broken biomachinery causes many diseases, So scientists are considering how they might fix faulty proteins. They might wire up artificial nerves to replace damaged ones.
And the potential for such devices goes beyond making repairs. Scientists are looking at how to give cells new abilities, hoping that by developing enough novel biomachines, they might make new forms of life. So if a protein is faulty, why not make a new one in the lab?
Back when Frankie Rawson was a student, he asked his teachers that. Now a nanotechnologist at the University of Nottingham in England, Rawson has answered his own question, “It turns out that we’ re not very good at artificially re- creating what biology does.”
Biologists like Rawson and Göpfrich found a workaround. They’re creating nanomachines that do the same jobs as proteins. With the right design, these nanomachines can do so easier at less cost. They also can be more stable using fewer ingredients.
To build them, researchers work with many types of materials. Rawson uses carbon nanotubes. Göpfrich even uses biological molecules, such as DNA. Rather than heal old or damaged body parts, she’d replace them with new ones.
Scientists have learned to make small synthetic (合成的) biology fixes. Our cells must work together. “Think of them like the wiring of a house,” Rawson says. Flip a switch, and a light turns on. That’s a big- scale effect. But each small piece in the system must work properly to get that end effect.
12. What does paragraph 2 intend to tell us?
A. The cost of repairing proteins. B. The prospect for nature- made machines.
C. The challenge of natural protein- machines. D. The background of creating new biomachines.
13. Why is Rawson mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To present scientists’ failure in biology. B. To convey his idea of life engineering.
C. To show making proteins in the lab is hard. D. To explain why nanotechnology is important.
14. Which can best explain the underlined word “workground” in paragraph 5?
A. A new dilemma. B. A difficult condition.
C. An alternative solution. D. An unbelievable story.
15. What does the last paragraph mainly express?
A. The effect of proteins on our body. B. The combination of the wiring of a house.
C. The complexity of the human body system. D. The precision required for synthetic biology.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We all have 24 hours in a day, but why some people don’t have a problem getting it all done while others struggle to stay on top of even the basics? ___16___
If you’re new to time management, or if you find yourself frequently overwhelmed by responsibilities, we recommend a strategy called brain uploading. Get everything that is weighing you down out of your brain and onto a master list. ___17___ Look through each category and pick out the things you need to prioritize.
A benefit of having a master list of responsibilities is that it allows you to say no to things that aren’t important or to find ways to give tasks to others. Go through that master list. ___18___ For essential tasks that cannot be handed out, carve out time for them when you’ re at your best. Identify the time you work best, and schedule your hardest tasks during that time.
___19___ To prevent the great pressure, we recommend integrating your to-dos into your calendar. For every to-do, ask how long this will take and when you will do it. Even if things change and you have to move things from one day to another, it gives you a complete view of everything on your plate, and nothing gets forgotten.
Scheduling leisure time can feel like a drag, but it’s an even bigger drag to find yourself missing out on leisure time because of an overpacked or disorganized schedule. ___20___ However, demanding jobs and responsibilities make it nearly impossible. Instead, focus on short bursts of five to twenty minutes of relaxation each day.
A. Work on those first.
B. Remove items that don’t have to be done.
C. The secret is a skill called time management.
D. People often get upset by having too much to do.
E. Divide it in a way that makes it feel more manageable.
F. Transfer it into your calendar on the day you are going to do it.
G. We think we need to carve out huge blocks of time for self-care.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Take a seat, campers! Time for snacks and stories,” Counselor (领队) Kate announced. As ten third graders dashed toward the campfire circle, Kate turned to Quill. “I need to get more marshmallows (棉花软糖), so I’m leaving you in charge for a few minutes. Just tell them a story until I get back,” she said.
Quill agreed. But his hands started to sweat. Being a junior counselor had been pretty easy for Quill so far. He was good at caring for the younger kids. But he’d never been left alone with them before. Even worse, he was poor at telling stories.
As Quill took a seat, he felt ten pairs of eyes staring at him. Nervously, he asked, “What kind of story do you want to hear?” A camper named Caden bounced up and down on the ground, “A horror story!” Alice, another camper, asked, “Can you tell one about a sepulchral (阴森森的) house?”
As everyone began chanting, “Horror story! Horror story! Horror story!” Quill felt a tug (猛拽) on his T- shirt. It was Emma, the quietest camper in the group. “I’m afraid of that kind of stories,” she whispered, gazing at Quill with worried- looking eyes.
Uh- oh! Quill thought if he didn’t tell a horror story, everyone would be disappointed at him and at Emma. What was he going to do now? After a moment, he held up his hands for keeping quiet. “OK, instead of a horror story, I’m going to tell... a toast story. I would start the beginning and you continue the story based on your own imagination,” Quill said.
Quill started, “Bob lived in a plastic bag. One day, a hand took Bob out of his bag and dropped him into a dark room. Bob heard a click (咔嗒声), and some lights came on. The air inside turned hot, and he started sweating.” Quill stopped and looked at Caden.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“It’s a group story and you’re going to keep the story going,” Quill said to Caden.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Realizing the dark room was actually a toaster (烤面包机), Alice smiled, continuing the “horror” story.

Somewhere in California, just up a hill from the beach is a high school, where students will meet before traveling to neighboring San Clemente High School on a Saturday fora 2-mile walk to raise money to build a well in a Kenyan village.
Most Kenyans live where clean water is hard to access. The good news is that water that falls in the rainy season is stored far underground, sometimes as deep as 900 feet. But bringing it to the surface can be a challenge. Sometimes, it requires heavy-duty equipment. Shallower wells are less costly but still require manpower and technology to work. A single well can supply water to an entire village, and this can be life-changing.
Weeks before the first annual Healing Hands for Water Walk Fundraiser event in 2012, students walked in the beach town and asked for donations from businesses. They covered a lot more distance than the 2 miles they would cover during the event as student organizers Branner Grimsley, Klara Gundelach and Solveig Erngren pounded on the boardwalk. “But it was worth it to make a difference by helping these people in Africa,” Grimsley said.
Standing on the boardwalk and looking out over the sand to the horizon and beyond, you can see a lifeline reaching from a few dedicated kids to a similar group of kids in an African village. The connection was hard to imagine at first but now seems so real. Students on both sides of the world walk under the same sun. On other days, they would have different places to go, but today, they walk for the same reason: to share the bond of being one human family.
In another Kenyan village, a well was completed. As the villagers excitedly operated the hand pump, the anticipation built. Within minutes, a trickle of clean water flowed, then a gush. It was a miracle in such a dry village. Buckets were filled, and children splashed water. The tears of joy flowed as easily as the well water.
4. What can we know about building wells in Kenya from paragraph 2?
A. It’s costly and useless. B. It’s easy and interesting
C. It’s challenging but cheap D. It’s difficult but worthwhile.
5. Why does paragraph 4 mention the connection?
A. To praise the event’s participants.
B. To show the difficulty of the event.
C. To share the bond of the human family.
D. To highlight the significance of the event.
6. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The excitement of building a well.
B. The requirement for completing a well.
C The joyous sight of drawing water from a well.
D. The quality of the water from a local village’s well.

A study led by UC Riverside (UCR) atmospheric scientists predicts that unchecked carbon emissions(排放物) will force tropical rains to shift northward in the coming decades, which would profoundly impact the regions near the Earth's equator.
The northward rain shift is caused by complex atmospheric changes. These changes are driven by carbon emissions, which in turn influence the formation of tropical convergence (汇集) zones. Those zones are essentially atmospheric engines that drive about a third of the world’s rainfall, which Antony P. Thomas, a professor of climate change and sustainability at UCR reported in a paper published in the journal Nature Climate Change.
Tropical regions on either side the equator, such as central African nations, northern South America, and Pacific island states would be the most affected. Major crops in these regions include coffee, cocoa, palm oil, bananas, sugarcane, tea, mangoes, and pineapples.
Tropical rainforests can have as much as 14 feet of rain a year. “The rainfall change is enormous,” Antony said. “It's a very heavy rainfall region. So, a small shift will cause big changes in the economy of the societies. It will affect many regions.”
Antony and his colleagues used advanced computer models to predict the atmospheric influence of carbon dioxide emissions from continued burning of fossil fuels and other sources.” This climate model included many components of the atmosphere ocean, sea ice, and land. All these components are interacting with each other,” he said. “Basically, we try to simulate the real world. In the model, we can increase our carbon dioxide emissions from pre-industrial levels to much higher levels.”
The analysis accounted for how carbon emissions influence the amount of radiant energy at the top of atmosphere. It also considered the changes in sea ice, water vapor and cloud formation. These and other factors resulted in conditions that push the rain- forming convergence zones northward by as much as 0.2 degrees on average.
8. What may be the main cause of the rain shift?
A. The rainforests. B. Carbon emissions.
C. The Earth's equator. D. Economic growth.
9. How does Antony feel about the rain shift?
A. Confused. B. Grateful. C. Worried. D. Indifferent.
10. Which word can best describe the study?
A. Comprehensive. B. Widespread. C. Fruitful. D. Historic.
11. What can be inferred from the text?
A. The rain shift is unrelated to human activities.
B. The rain shift threatens equatorial agriculture.
C. The study’s computer models were not precise enough.
D. The impact of the rain shift will be limited to remote areas.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述一项研究预测,不受控制的碳排放将迫使热带降雨在未来几十年内向北移动,将对地球赤道附近的地区产生深远影响。

【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的““The rainfall change is enormous,” Antony said. “It’s a very heavy rainfall region. So, a small shift will cause big changes in the economy of the societies. It will affect many regions.”(“降雨量变化很大,”安东尼说。“这是一个雨量非常大的地区。所以,一个小的转变会引起社会经济的大变化。它将影响许多地区。”)可知,安东尼认为一个小小的转变会导致社会经济的巨大变化。它将影响许多地区。因此推断Antony对雨带的移动感到担忧。故选C。
10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Antony and his colleagues used advanced computer models to predict the atmospheric influence of carbon dioxide emissions from continued burning of fossil fuels and other sources.” This climate model included many components of the atmosphere, ocean, sea ice, and land.(安东尼和他的同事使用先进的计算机模型来预测持续燃烧化石燃料和其他来源产生的二氧化碳排放对大气的影响。这个气候模型包括了大气、海洋、海冰和陆地的许多组成部分。)”可知,研究使用了“先进的计算机模型”以及考虑了多个影响因素,可见这项研究是全面的。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Tropical regions on either side the equator, such as central African nations, northern South America, and Pacific island states would be the most affected. Major crops in these regions include coffee, cocoa, palm oil, bananas, sugarcane, tea, mangoes, and pineapples.(赤道两侧的热带地区,如中非国家、南美洲北部和太平洋岛国,将受到最严重的影响。这些地区的主要作物包括咖啡、可可、棕榈油、香蕉、甘蔗、茶、芒果和菠萝。)”可知,热带地区主要农作物可能受影响,说明雨带的移动威胁了赤道地区的农业。故选B。

Engineer Kerstin Göpfrich builds machines. But rather than building metal devices, she makes tiny ones to work inside our cells. Göpfrich leads a research group focusing on the “engineering of life” at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg, Germany.
Our cells are already full of nature- made machines carrying out the daily tasks of living. Many are proteins. But sometimes our natural protein- machines don’t work right. Broken biomachinery causes many diseases, So scientists are considering how they might fix faulty proteins. They might wire up artificial nerves to replace damaged ones.
And the potential for such devices goes beyond making repairs. Scientists are looking at how to give cells new abilities, hoping that by developing enough novel biomachines, they might make new forms of life. So if a protein is faulty, why not make a new one in the lab?
Back when Frankie Rawson was a student, he asked his teachers that. Now a nanotechnologist at the University of Nottingham in England, Rawson has answered his own question, “It turns out that we’ re not very good at artificially re- creating what biology does.”
Biologists like Rawson and Göpfrich found a workaround. They’re creating nanomachines that do the same jobs as proteins. With the right design, these nanomachines can do so easier at less cost. They also can be more stable using fewer ingredients.
To build them, researchers work with many types of materials. Rawson uses carbon nanotubes. Göpfrich even uses biological molecules, such as DNA. Rather than heal old or damaged body parts, she’d replace them with new ones.
Scientists have learned to make small synthetic (合成的) biology fixes. Our cells must work together. “Think of them like the wiring of a house,” Rawson says. Flip a switch, and a light turns on. That’s a big- scale effect. But each small piece in the system must work properly to get that end effect.
12. What does paragraph 2 intend to tell us?
A. The cost of repairing proteins. B. The prospect for nature- made machines.
C. The challenge of natural protein- machines. D. The background of creating new biomachines.
13. Why is Rawson mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To present scientists’ failure in biology. B. To convey his idea of life engineering.
C. To show making proteins in the lab is hard. D. To explain why nanotechnology is important.
14. Which can best explain the underlined word “workground” in paragraph 5?
A. A new dilemma. B. A difficult condition.
C. An alternative solution. D. An unbelievable story.
15. What does the last paragraph mainly express?
A. The effect of proteins on our body. B. The combination of the wiring of a house.
C. The complexity of the human body system. D. The precision required for synthetic biology.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. D
【解析】

Broken biomachinery causes many diseases, So scientists are considering how they might fix faulty proteins. They might wire up artificial nerves to replace damaged ones.(我们的细胞已经充满了自然形成的机器,执行着生命活动的日常任务。其中许多是蛋白质。但有时我们的天然蛋白质机器会出现故障。生物机器损坏会引发许多疾病,因此科学家们正在考虑如何修复有缺陷的蛋白质。他们可能会用人工神经来替换受损的神经。)”可知,第二段作者想要介绍一下科学家们想要创造新型生物机器的背景知识,也就是希望用这种新型生物机器修复有缺陷的蛋白质和替换受损的神经。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Back when Frankie Rawson was a student, he asked his teachers that. Now a nanotechnologist at the University of Nottingham in England, Rawson has answered his own question, “It turns out that we’ re not very good at artificially re- creating what bi ology does.”(当Frankie Rawson还是学生的时候,他就问过老师这个问题。现在,作为英国诺丁汉大学的一名纳米技术专家,Rawson已经回答了自己的问题:“事实证明,我们在人工复制生物所做的事情方面并不擅长。”)”可知,第四段提到Rawson主要是因为他曾作为学生时向老师提出过关于在实验室制造新蛋白质的问题,而现在作为纳米技术专家的他回答了这个问题,指出“我们在人工复制生物所做的事情方面并不擅长”。这表明在实验室制造蛋白质是困难的。故选C。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词下文“They’re creating nanomachines that do the same jobs as proteins. With the right design, these nanomachines can do so easier at less cost. They also can be more stable using fewer ingredients.(他们正在创造能做蛋白质相同工作的纳米机器。有了正确的设计,这些纳米机器可以更容易、更廉价地完成工作。它们使用的成分更少,因此也可以更加稳定。)”可知,他们找到了一种解决方法来解决上文提到的不擅长人工复制生物的问题。由此可知,划线词workground为“解决方法”之意。选项A“A new dilemma (一个新的困境)”;选项B“A difficult condition (一个困难的状况)”;选项C“An alternative solution (一个替代的解决方案)”;选项D“An unbelievable story (一个不可思议的故事)”。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Scientists have learned to make small synthetic(合成的)biology fixes. Our cells must work together. “Think of them like the wiring of a house,” Rawson says.

We all have 24 hours in a day, but why some people don’t have a problem getting it all done while others struggle to stay on top of even the basics? ___16___
If you’re new to time management, or if you find yourself frequently overwhelmed by responsibilities, we recommend a strategy called brain uploading. Get everything that is weighing you down out of your brain and onto a master list. ___17___ Look through each category and pick out the things you need to prioritize.
A benefit of having a master list of responsibilities is that it allows you to say no to things that aren’t important or to find ways to give tasks to others. Go through that master list. ___18___ For essential tasks that cannot be handed out, carve out time for them when you’ re at your best. Identify the time you work best, and schedule your hardest tasks during that time.
___19___ To prevent the great pressure, we recommend integrating your to-dos into your calendar. For every to-do, ask how long this will take and when you will do it. Even if things change and you have to move things from one day to another, it gives you a complete view of everything on your plate, and nothing gets forgotten.
Scheduling leisure time can feel like a drag, but it’s an even bigger drag to find yourself missing out on leisure time because of an overpacked or disorganized schedule. ___20___ However, demanding jobs and responsibilities make it nearly impossible. Instead, focus on short bursts of five to twenty minutes of relaxation each day.
A. Work on those first.
B. Remove items that don’t have to be done.
C. The secret is a skill called time management.
D. People often get upset by having too much to do.
E. Divide it in a way that makes it feel more manageable.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲的是一部名为《Hidden Letters》的纪录片的相关情况。
36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:以中国古代语言女书为主题的纪录片Hidden Letters于8月31日正式发行。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句,先行词Hidden Letters和theme之间是所属关系,因此空格处用关系代词whose表所属,故填whose。
【37题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:这部电影已经进入了第95届奥斯卡金像奖纪录片类的候选名单,引起了人们的广泛关注,这对一部中国电影来说是一项了不起的成就。由Already可知,句子时态用现在完成时,主语it是单数,因此空格处是has attracted。故填has attracted。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这部电影已经进入了第95届奥斯卡金像奖纪录片类的候选名单,引起了人们的广泛关注,这对一部中国电影来说是一项了不起的成就。空格处用形容词作定语,修饰名词achievement,remark的形容词是remarkable,意为“了不起的”。故填remarkable。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:Hidden Letters的故事背景是女书,这是一种古代中国中部湖南省为女性开发的“秘密文字”,被认为是世界上唯一的女性文字。句中谓语是takes,空格处用非谓语动词,a “secret written language”和develop之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此空格处用过去分词表被动,故填developed。
【40题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意:纤细迷人的形体,一幅柳叶的优雅画卷,正是它所代表的当时中国女性的优雅。female是可数名词,不止一个,因此空格处用复数,故填females。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:这部电影讲述了两位当代中国女性在女书的启发下,驾驭社会规范和传统观念,追求自我提升,并从女书身上汲取力量,试图成为最好的自己的戏剧性故事。in pursuit of是固定短语,意为“为了追求”,因此空格处用介词of,故填of。
【42题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:这部电影讲述了两位当代中国女性在女书的启发下,驾驭社会规范和传统观念,追求自我提升,并从女书身上汲取力量,试图成为最好的自己的戏剧性故事。根据语境可知,句子表示“这部电影讲述了两位当代中国女性在女书的启发下,驾驭社会规范和传统观念,追求自我提升,并从女书身上汲取力量,试图成为最好的自己的戏剧性故事”,空格处意为“她们自己”,用反身代词themselves。故填themselves。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意:从最初有限的宣传方式,到后来展现的丰富多彩的女书文化创作形式,这部电影赢得了广大观众的心。空格处用副词修饰形容词limited,initial的副词是initially,意为“最初”,故填initially。
【44题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:Hidden Letters不仅仅是一部纪录片,它证明了女性持久的力量和适应能力,是一个跨越文化和时代的故事,是当代成长之旅的灵感灯塔。not just...but (also)...是固定搭配,意为“不仅……而且……”,also可以省略,因此空格处用but,故填but。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:Hidden Letters不仅仅是一部纪录片,它证明了女性持久的力量和适应能力,是一个跨越文化和时代的故事,是当代成长之旅的灵感灯塔。that从句中谓语是bridges,空格处用非谓语动词,story和serve之间是主谓关系,因此空格处用现在分词表主动,故填serving。

【答案】
An Unforgettable Experience of Labour
During the National Day holiday that had just finished, I spent one day participating in a local environmental clean-up initiative.
On that day, I joined a group of volunteers to pick up litter in the wetland park. Armed with gloves and trash bags, we spent hours collecting discarded bottles, cans, and plastic waste. It was a laborious task, but the sense of purpose was inspiring. As we cleaned, we also educated visitors about the importance of environmental conservation.
The experience was not only about physical labor but also a lesson about community spirit and personal responsibility. I felt a deep sense of accomplishment, knowing that my efforts, however small, contributed to a cleaner and healthier environment.

第二节 (满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Take a seat, campers! Time for snacks and stories,” Counselor (领队) Kate announced. As ten third graders dashed toward the campfire circle, Kate turned to Quill. “I need to get more marshmallows (棉花软糖), so I’m leaving you in charge for a few minutes. Just tell them a story until I get back,” she said.
Quill agreed. But his hands started to sweat. Being a junior counselor had been pretty easy for Quill so far. He was good at caring for the younger kids. But he’d never been left alone with them before. Even worse, he was poor at telling stories.
As Quill took a seat, he felt ten pairs of eyes staring at him. Nervously, he asked, “What kind of story do you want to hear?” A camper named Caden bounced up and down on the ground, “A horror story!” Alice, another camper, asked, “Can you tell one about a sepulchral (阴森森的) house?”
As everyone began chanting, “Horror story! Horror story! Horror story!” Quill felt a tug (猛拽) on his T- shirt. It was Emma, the quietest camper in the group. “I’m afraid of that kind of stories,” she whispered, gazing at Quill with worried- looking eyes.
Uh- oh! Quill thought if he didn’t tell a horror story, everyone would be disappointed at him and at Emma. What was he going to do now? After a moment, he held up his hands for keeping quiet. “OK, instead of a horror story, I’m going to tell... a toast story. I would start the beginning and you continue the story based on your own imagination,” Quill said.
Quill started, “Bob lived in a plastic bag. One day, a hand took Bob out of his bag and dropped him into a dark room. Bob heard a click (咔嗒声), and some lights came on. The air inside turned hot, and he started sweating.” Quill stopped and looked at Caden.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“It’s a group story and you’re going to keep the story going,” Quill said to Caden.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Realizing the dark room was actually a toaster (烤面包机), Alice smiled, continuing the “horror” story.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“It’s a group story and you’re going to keep the story going,” Quill said to Caden. Caden thought for a moment and smiled. Then he continued in a scary voice on purpose, “Bob felt himself turning brown and crispy. He was sure this was the end of his life, but then suddenly the lights switched off, and Bob shot out of the toaster. Seconds later, a giant hand grabbed him and threw him down. As Bob lay there on the plate, a long, shiny knife appeared over him...” Caden paused for moment. “Alice’s turn,” Quill seized the opportunity and said.
Realizing the dark room was actually a toaster (烤面包机), Alice smiled, continuing the “horror” story. “Something soft and tasty was placed onto Bob’s body and the knife spread it all over Bob. The action makes Bob giggle...” Everyone listened attentively. The children kept continuing stories one by one, making the plot thrilling, terrifying, funny, and even absurd. They were so absorbed in it, not noticing Kate’s returning. When the story came to a happy ending, Kate praised, “What a great story! Although we don’t have toast to eat, let’s have marshmallows together.” Hearing this, the crowd burst into laughter, and Quill had the brightest and happiest smile.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲的是Quill虽然擅长照顾小孩子,但从未独自留下过,而且不擅长讲故事。当孩子们要求听恐怖故事时,Quill注意到组中最安静的露营者Emma害怕这类故事。为了不让大家失望,也考虑到Emma的感受,Quill决定不讲恐怖故事,而是让大家一起参与创作一个“烤肉故事”,他开头,孩子们根据自己的想象继续故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容““这是一个集体故事,你要让故事继续下去,”Quill对Caden说。”可知,第一段可描写孩子们轮流讲述一个集体故事的情景。
②由第二段首句内容“意识到暗室实际上是一个烤面包机,Alice笑了,继续她的“恐怖”故事。”可知,第二段可描写孩子们继续轮流讲述并发展这个“恐怖”故事的情景。
2.续写线索:继续讲故事——暂停——专心听——持续讲故事——专心于讲故事——表扬——吃棉花糖
3.词汇激活
行为类
①继续:continue/go on
②暂停:pause/suspend
③表扬:praise/commend
情绪类
①专心:be absorbed in/be concentrated on
②令人高兴的:happy/delightful
【点睛】[高分句型1] He was sure this was the end of his life, but then suddenly the lights switched off, and Bob shot out of the toaster. (由that引导的宾语从句,省略了that)
[高分句型2] When the story came to a happy ending, Kate praised, “What a great story! Although we don’t have toast to eat, let’s have marshmallows together.” (由when引导的时间状语从句,感叹句和although引导的让步状语从句)
