On a hot June day in 2015, I retired after 34 years of teaching high school. Then, I drove to meet my new piano teacher, Mark.
I had worked for more than three decades as a busy English teacher with an endless stream of papers to mark and precious little time to experiment or learn new skills. I was determined to make up for all I had been missing. I wanted to finally master the piano and learn how to make music.
I told Mark I had a specific concrete goal: to play Clair de lune by Claude Debussy, a piece I remember hearing from early childhood.
Determined that there would be a day when I would totally master this piece, I set myself a deadline: I would perform before a gathering of friends on my 60th birthday. For months I did nothing but furiously (猛烈地) practise. When the day came, around 30 friends and relatives crowded into my dining room to hear me play, and aside from a few minor slips, I managed to pull it off without embarrassing myself. People clapped warmly. I made it. I had risen to a challenge, but I still didn’t feel that I was really “making music”.
After that, my progress was painfully slow. I had come to hate hearing myself play music badly. I got no pleasure from the act of missing notes.
I began focusing on what few things I could do: gardening and cycling. I came to understand that I didn’t have to be that man I’d always thought I ought to be. I could just do what feels good. So, after nearly five years of lessons, I quit.
I still love music; I regularly go out to concerts. But now my piano does nothing more than sit silently in my dining room, displaying family photos and collecting dust. And I’m perfectly happy with that.
24. Why did the author learn the piano after retiring from teaching?
A. To impress his friends and relatives. B. To avoid the boredom of retirement.
C. To start a new career as a concert pianist. D. To pursue a long-time passion for music.
25. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A. The author attended a concert of piano music.
B. The author performed successfully despite a few errors.
C. The author felt embarrassed about his piano performance.
D. The author quit his piano immediately after his 60th birthday.
26. What does the author do with his piano now?
A. He uses it for music lessons. B. He uses it for performance.
C. He uses it for something unrelated to music. D. He plays it for personal enjoyment occasionally.
27. Which of the following can best describe the author?
A. Inner- directed and hardworking. B. Conventional and careless.
C. Ambitious and kind-hearted. D. Lazy and pessimistic.
C
Astronomers have examined the stars that a new space telescope might target, to prepare for one of the most advanced searches for life on other planets. They found out which star systems might be more suitable to hunt for potential life.
In the 2040s, NASA plans to launch the Habitable Worlds Observatory(HWO). Its big goal is to image about 25 Earth-like planets in the habitable zones of sun-like stars-where water and even life could exist. Before building the HWO, scientists are working on significant challenges it will face.
One of those is choosing stars within around 100 light years from Earth that the telescope might target. Caleb Harada at the University of California, Berkeley, and his team analyzed 164 potential stars to determine their characteristics. These stars could become some of the most studied stars ever.
Harada and his team discovered that 102 of the stars are binaries(双子星), which could make the search for life more complex. The HWO telescope will use a tool to block out the stars’ light to attempt to image planets in orbit and study the gases in their atmospheres. “If binaries are too close together, the light from the unblocked star will be so bright that it’ll cover up the planets and make them hard to see,” explains Bruce Macintosh from the University of California Observatories.
Out of all the stars, 33 have dust rings that could make it hard to see planets clearly. “This makes exploring harder,” says Harada. “Some stars also sometimes burst into bright flames, like our sun’s flares, which aren’t always deadly. But we need to check closely that they’re not too strong, because these can affect life and living conditions,” explains Harada.
28 Why is HWO to be built?
A. To take pictures of planets. B. To find out habitable planets.
C. To identify Earth-like planets. D. To prepare for the search for life.
29. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The application of the telescope. B. The characteristics of studied stars.
C. The analysis of potential sun-like stars. D. The challenge of finding the right stars.
30. What challenges planet detection around binary stars?
A. The HWO telescope. B. Tightly spaced binary stars.
C. The brightness of unblocked stars. D. The gases in planets’ atmospheres.
31. What factor might prevent the formation of life according to the last paragraph?
A. Space exploration. B. Stars’ intense bursts.
C. Frequent solar flares. D. Dust rings on planets.
D
The concept of sharing goods and services with your community as a means of economic transaction (交易) is ancient. But thanks to the Internet, the concept now has global scale at the click of a button. It's called the sharing economy. As its most basic, the sharing economy, also known as the collaborative or peer- to- peer economy, is about connecting individuals with resources to others that want them. It often works through lending or borrowing but can also involve the financial transaction of goods of services.
While the concept of sharing economy has been round for some time the coming of apps and smart phone technology means that it’s easier for individuals to participate in peer- to- peer sharing transactions in real time.
There are many reasons why people participate in the sharing economy, but here are some of the biggest ones:
Finding temporary accommodation while traveling can be stressful — especially if you’re looking for something on short notice. Thanks to the sharing economy, there are a few popular services that connect people looking to rent out their apartment or home with travelers for a day or two.
Everyone, who’s ever driven in a major city knows that finding parking can be a real pain. Limited parking spaces and higher fees have contributed to tech- based services that can help you find, and even reserve available parking space. Whether you’re pressed for time or need to find somewhere to leave the car for a day or two while visiting an unfamiliar city, parking is one more head ache the sharing economy is helping alleviate.
For pet owners, leaving town on vacation can be a stressful experience. Finding a dog sitter on short notice can be a problem, and leaving your pet at a kennel (犬舍) might leave you worried about their well- being when you should be relaxed. Luckily, a little tech- inspired collaboration can offer an elegant solution. Partnering pet owners with willing hosts can give your dog a vacation of their own, with plenty of TLC —“ tender lo ving care” and space to roam (漫步) in the home of a fellow pet lover.
Now it is true that apps empower you to exchange a variety of items with people from all over. Whether it’s a bike, some tools you need for a project, or anything in between, collaborative economies make it easier to access the things you need without cash.
32. What do we know about the sharing economy from the first two paragraphs?
A. The sharing economy has been around since ancient times.
B. The sharing economy is about connecting those with resources to those in need.
C. The sharing economy only involves the financial transaction of goods or services.
D. The sharing economy is brought by the coming of apps and smart phone technology.
33. How can the sharing economy help people find temporary accommodation while traveling?
A. By checking the information on short notice. B. By giving people many useful information.
C. By offering those in need some popular services. D. By finding people who want to rent out their home.
34. What does the underlined word “alleviate” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Relieve. B. Achieve. C. Disappear. D. Improve.
35. Which of the following is NOT the example of people participating in the sharing economy?
A. Going to work by car sharing through some apps.
B. Reserving an available partaking space before driving to a major city.
C. Making a little tech- inspired collaboration for pets.
D. Buying food in the supermarkets and paying without cash.

Emily Harper sat at her desk, staring blankly at the math problems in front of her. Numbers and variables danced confusingly across the page, laughing at her every effort. At school, Emily was known for her artistic talents, but math had always been her weakness, No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t make sense of it.
Her struggles only worsened in the 10th grade. The pressure to keep up with her classmates grew, and the poor grades shook her confidence. Her parents decided to step in. “We need to find you some help,” her mother gently suggested one evening.
Then came Mr. Jenkins, a retired local teacher known for his unique teaching style. Emily was initially resistant; the idea of spending extra hours on a subject she hated seemed like a punishment. But - she unwillingly agreed, knowing something had to change.
Their first session was tense. Mr. Jenkins sensing her frustration, didn’t dive straight into problems. Instead, he asked about her interests. When Emily spoke passionately about her painting, he smiled. “Math is like art, Emily. It has patterns and beauty if you know where to look.”
Doubtful but inspired, Emily listened as he began to explain concepts through visual examples. He used colors and shapes, turning abstract numbers into something almost tangible (有形的). For the first time, math seemed less like a foreign language and more like a puzzle waiting to be solved.
However, progress was slow. Weeks passed with, minimal improvement, and Emily’s patience wore thin. A particularly difficult quiz left her in tears, convinced she was sure to fail. Mr. Jenkins said, “Remember, Emily, every artist starts with a blank canvas. Masterpieces aren’t created overnight.”
Encouraged by his firm belief, Emily pushed on. She began to see the connections between the steps, how each solution followed a logical path. Small victories in practice problems gave her some hope. Mr. Jenkins was always there, celebrating her successes, no matter how minor.
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。
Gradually, Emily’s confidence grew with Mr. Jenkins’ help.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Emily’s heart raced when the results day arrived.

【原文】M: Here you come finally, Julia. We are worried about you. Where have you been all these days?
M: Thank you, Allen. I’m fine. I’ve been helping my aunt on her farm.
M: But you look upset. What happened?
W: I couldn’t join the international voluntary team to Morocco.
M: It’s a pity. How come?
W: My father doesn’t agree. He thinks going abroad is too dangerous. He once went to Tanzania in eastern Africa on business where he experienced something unpleasant. I’ve explained to him that the situation was not like what he thought but he insisted on his opinion and asked me to travel only across New Zealand. We almost argued over that.
M: I can understand his worry. He just cares about you too much. How about your mother?
W: My mother stands by me. She thinks what I want to do is worth my while but she fails to persuade my father to give up his idea.
M: Then what do you plan to do this holiday?
W: I don’t know. What’s your advice?
M: If I were you, I would learned something new like programming. Last year I learned driving during the holiday. The swimming course was also part of my plan but there was not enough time.
W: Thank you, Allen. I’ll consider.

【原文】W: This summer I joined a two-week summer camp in China. The camp was for language learning. The other campers and I learned Chinese through activities like storytelling and role playing. In the first week, to use the vocabulary we’d learned in real world situations, we were encouraged to buy vegetables at the market and book entry tickets to the museum. During the second week, the activities were richer. We attended classes in traditional Chinese art in the first three days, such as fan painting paper cutting and Chinese calligraphy. It was so cool to drive out the summer heat with a fan painted by myself. Then the following day we went to eat traditional food there. We also spent two days visiting some places of interest learning about the local history of the area. In the last day of our camp, we had a sharing session, during which we were asked to describe the part we like best of our camp. It was a hard choice for me. Every activity was fun. Chinese culture the food and people all impressed me deeply. I hope to come again in the future.

On a hot June day in 2015, I retired after 34 years of teaching high school. Then, I drove to meet my new piano teacher, Mark.
I had worked for more than three decades as a busy English teacher with an endless stream of papers to mark and precious little time to experiment or learn new skills. I was determined to make up for all I had been missing. I wanted to finally master the piano and learn how to make music.
I told Mark I had a specific concrete goal: to play Clair de lune by Claude Debussy, a piece I remember hearing from early childhood.
Determined that there would be a day when I would totally master this piece, I set myself a deadline: I would perform before a gathering of friends on my 60th birthday. For months I did nothing but furiously (猛烈地) practise. When the day came, around 30 friends and relatives crowded into my dining room to hear me play, and aside from a few minor slips, I managed to pull it off without embarrassing myself. People clapped warmly. I made it. I had risen to a challenge, but I still didn’t feel that I was really “making music”.
After that, my progress was painfully slow. I had come to hate hearing myself play music badly. I got no pleasure from the act of missing notes.
I began focusing on what few things I could do: gardening and cycling. I came to understand that I didn’t have to be that man I’d always thought I ought to be. I could just do what feels good. So, after nearly five years of lessons, I quit.
I still love music; I regularly go out to concerts. But now my piano does nothing more than sit silently in my dining room, displaying family photos and collecting dust. And I’m perfectly happy with that.
24. Why did the author learn the piano after retiring from teaching?
A. To impress his friends and relatives. B. To avoid the boredom of retirement.
C. To start a new career as a concert pianist. D. To pursue a long-time passion for music.

A. The author attended a concert of piano music.
B. The author performed successfully despite a few errors.
C. The author felt embarrassed about his piano performance.
D. The author quit his piano immediately after his 60th birthday.
26. What does the author do with his piano now?
A. He uses it for music lessons. B. He uses it for performance.
C. He uses it for something unrelated to music. D. He plays it for personal enjoyment occasionally.
27. Which of the following can best describe the author?

Astronomers have examined the stars that a new space telescope might target, to prepare for one of the most advanced searches for life on other planets. They found out which star systems might be more suitable to hunt for potential life.
In the 2040s, NASA plans to launch the Habitable Worlds Observatory(HWO). Its big goal is to image about 25 Earth-like planets in the habitable zones of sun-like stars-where water and even life could exist. Before building the HWO, scientists are working on significant challenges it will face.
One of those is choosing stars within around 100 light years from Earth that the telescope might target. Caleb Harada at the University of California, Berkeley, and his team analyzed 164 potential stars to determine their characteristics. These stars could become some of the most studied stars ever.
Harada and his team discovered that 102 of the stars are binaries(双子星), which could make the search for life more complex. The HWO telescope will use a tool to block out the stars’ light to attempt to image planets in orbit and study the gases in their atmospheres. “If binaries are too close together, the light from the unblocked star will be so bright that it’ll cover up the planets and make them hard to see,” explains Bruce Macintosh from the University of California Observatories.
Out of all the stars, 33 have dust rings that could make it hard to see planets clearly. “This makes exploring harder,” says Harada. “Some stars also sometimes burst into bright flames, like our sun’s flares, which aren’t always deadly. But we need to check closely that they’re not too strong, because these can affect life and living conditions,” explains Harada.
28. Why is HWO to be built?
A. To take pictures of planets. B. To find out habitable planets.
C. To identify Earth-like planets. D. To prepare for the search for life.
29. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The application of the telescope. B. The characteristics of studied stars.
C. The analysis of potential sun-like stars. D. The challenge of finding the right stars.
30. What challenges planet detection around binary stars?
A. The HWO telescope. B. Tightly spaced binary stars.
C. The brightness of unblocked stars. D. The gases in planets’ atmospheres.
31. What factor might prevent the formation of life according to the last paragraph?
A. Space exploration. B. Stars’ intense bursts.
C. Frequent solar flares. D. Dust rings on planets.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了美国宇航局计划在本世纪40年代发射宜居世界天文台(HWO),并对可能的目标星系进行了研究,以准备进行寻找外星生命的先进搜索。

细节理解题。根据文章第一段 the 2040s, NASA plans to launch the Habitable Worlds Observatory(HWO). Its big goal is to image about 25 Earth-like planets in the habitable zones of sun-like stars-where water and even life could exist.(在本世纪40年代,美国宇航局计划发射宜居世界天文台(HWO)。它的主要目标是在类似太阳的星系的宜居区域拍摄大约25个类地行星——那里可能存在水甚至生命。)可知,HWO的建设是为了拍摄行星的照片。故选A项。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“One of those is choosing stars within around 100 light years from Earth that the telescope might target. Caleb Harada at the University of California, Berkeley, and his team analyzed 164 potential stars to determine their characteristics. These stars could become some of the most studied stars ever.”(其中之一就是选择距离地球100光年以内的恒星作为望远镜的目标。加州大学伯克利分校的 Caleb Harada 和他的团队分析了164颗潜在恒星,以确定它们的特征。这些恒星可能成为有史以来研究最多的恒星之一。)可知,这一段主要讲述了寻找合适的恒星的挑战,故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“If binaries are too close together, the light from the unblocked star will be so bright that it’ll cover up the planets and make them hard to see”( 如果双星靠得太近,未被遮挡的恒星发出的光就会太亮,遮住行星,使它们很难被看到)可知,双星周围的行星探测面临紧密间隔的双星的挑战。故选B项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Some stars also sometimes burst into bright flames, like our sun’s flares, which aren’t always deadly. But we need to check closely that they’re not too strong, because these can affect life and living conditions”(一些恒星有时也会爆发出明亮的火焰,就像太阳的耀斑一样,这并不总是致命的。但我们需要仔细检查它们是否太强,因为它们会影响生命和生活条件)可知,恒星的强烈爆发会阻止生命的形成。故选B项。

The concept of sharing goods and services with your community as a means of economic transaction (交易) is ancient. But thanks to the Internet, the concept now has global scale at the click of a button. It's called the sharing economy. As its most basic, the sharing economy, also known as the collaborative or peer- to- peer economy, is about connecting individuals with resources to others that want them. It often works through lending or borrowing but can also involve the financial transaction of goods of services.
While the concept of sharing economy has been round for some time, the coming of apps and smart phone technology means that it’s easier for individuals to participate in peer- to- peer sharing transactions in real time.
There are many reasons why people participate in the sharing economy, but here are some of the biggest ones:
Finding temporary accommodation while traveling can be stressful — especially if you’re looking for something on short notice. Thanks to the sharing economy, there are a few popular services that connect people looking to rent out their apartment or home with travelers for a day or two.
Everyone, who’s ever driven in a major city knows that finding parking can be a real pain. Limited parking spaces and higher fees have contributed to tech- based services that can help you find, and even reserve available parking space. Whether you’re pressed for time or need to find somewhere to leave the car for a day or two while visiting an unfamiliar city, parking is one more head ache the sharing economy is helping alleviate.
For pet owners, leaving town on vacation can be a stressful experience. Finding a dog sitter on short notice can be a problem, and leaving your pet at a kennel (犬舍) might leave you worried about their well- being when you should be relaxed. Luckily, a little tech- inspired collaboration can offer an elegant solution. Partnering pet owners with willing hosts can give your dog a vacation of their own, with plenty of TLC —“ tender lo ving care” and space to roam (漫步) in the home of a fellow pet lover.
Now it is true that apps empower you to exchange a variety of items with people from all over. Whether it’s a bike, some tools you need for a project, or anything in between, collaborative economies make it easier to access the things you need without cash.
32. What do we know about the sharing economy from the first two paragraphs?
A. The sharing economy has been around since ancient times.
B. The sharing economy is about connecting those with resources to those in need.
C. The sharing economy only involves the financial transaction of goods or services.
D. The sharing economy is brought by the coming of apps and smart phone technology.
33. How can the sharing economy help people find temporary accommodation while traveling?
A. By checking the information on short notice. B. By giving people many useful information.
C. By offering those in need some popular services. D. By finding people who want to rent out their home.
34. What does the underlined word “alleviate” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Relieve. B. Achieve. C. Disappear. D. Improve.
35. Which of the following is NOT the example of people participating in the sharing economy?
A. Going to work by car sharing through some apps.
B. Reserving an available partaking space before driving to a major city.
C. Making a little tech- inspired collaboration for pets.
D. Buying food in the supermarkets and paying without cash.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述共享经济的概念以及人们参与共享经济的原因。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“As its most basic, the sharing economy, also known as the collaborative or peer-to-peer economy, is about connecting individuals with resources to others that want them.(共享经济是最基本的经济形式,也被称为协作或对等经济,它将拥有资源的人与需要资源的人联系起来)”可知,共享经济就是将拥有资源的人和需要资源的人联系起来。故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Thanks to the sharing economy, there are a few popular services that connect people looking to rent out their apartment or home with travelers for a day or two.(多亏了共享经济,现在有了一些流行的服务,将那些想要将公寓或房屋出租给旅行者的人联系在一起,提供一两天的时间)”可知,共享经济通过提供一些受欢迎的服务帮助人们在旅行中找到临时住处。故选C项。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句的前一句“Whether you’re pressed for time or need to find somewhere to leave the car for a day or two while visiting an unfamiliar city, parking is one more headache.(在一个不熟悉的城市,无论你是时间紧迫,还是需要找个地方把车停一两天,停车都是另一个令人头疼的问题)”可知,在一个不熟悉的城市停车是一个令人头疼的问题。划线词所在句“The sharing economy is helping alleviate .(共享经济正在帮助alleviate)”中的helping说明共享经济可以帮助解决这一问题,所以可以推断此处alleviate意为“缓解、解决”,A选项relieve意为“缓解”,和它词义接近。故选A项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“It often works through lending or borrowing but can also involve the financial transaction of goods of services.(它通常通过借贷来运作,但也可能涉及商品或服务的金融交易)”和最后一段“Whether it’s a bike, some tools you need for a project, or anything in between, collaborative economies make it easier to access the things you need without cash.(无论是自行车,项目所需的工具,还是两者之间的任何东西,分享经济让你在不使用现金的情况下更容易得到你需要的东西)”可知,文章中提到共享经济是将有资源的人与需要资源的人连接起来,进行经济交易。而D选项“在超市购买食物并无现金支付”并没有涉及到资源分享或经济交易,只是普通的购物支付方式,因此不属于共享经济的例子。故选D项。
第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)

To make science’s stories more concrete and engaging, it’s important to use some effective strategies. Here are four of them.
Put people in the story
Science’s stories often lack human characters. ___36___. Characters can be also people affected by a scientific topic, or interested in learning more about it. Besides, they can be storytellers who are sharing their personal experiences.
___37___
People often think of science as objective and fair. But science is actually a human practice that continuously involves choices, missteps and biases (偏见) . If you explain science as a course, you can walk people through the sequence of how science is done and why researchers reach certain conclusions. ___38___. And they can also stress the reason why people should trust the course of science to provide the most accurate conclusions possible given the available information.
Include what people care about
Scientific topics are important, but they may not always be the public’s most pressing concerns. In April 2024, a polling company found that “the quality of the environment” was one of the lowest-ranked priorities among people in the US. The stories about the environment could weave in connections to higher-priority topics. ___39___.
Tell science's stories
Scientists, of course, can be science communicators, but everyone can tell science’s stories. When we share information online about health, or talk to friends and family about the weather, we contribute to information that circulates about science topics. ___40___. Think about all of a story’s characteristics — character, action, sequence, scope, storyteller and content - and how you might incorporate them into the topic.
A. Explain science as a process
B. Shoot attractive short science videos
C. Scientists themselves can actually become ideal ones
D. This practice is to stress why the content is important
E. You can tell growth stories of remarkable teenage scientists
F. Science communicators can emphasize how science is conducted
G. You may as well borrow features from stories to strengthen your message
【答案】36. C 37. A 38. F 39. D 40. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了四种使科学故事更具体且引人入胜的策略。
【36题详解】
上文“Science’s stories often lack human characters. (科学的故事往往缺乏人物角色。)”说明科学的故事缺乏人物角色。空处顺接上文,应介绍科学故事中的人物可以是谁。C项中的ideal ones指代前文中的human characters,说明C项“科学家本身可以成为理想的人物角色”,符合语境。故选C。
【37题详解】
下文“People often think of science as objective and fair. But science is actually a human practice that continuously involves choices, missteps and biases (偏见) . If you explain science as a course, you can walk people through the sequence of how science is done and why researchers reach certain conclusions. (人们通常认为科学是客观和公正的。但实际上,科学是一种不断涉及选择、失误和偏见的人类活动。如果你把科学解释为一个过程,你可以带领人们了解科学研究的步骤以及研究人员为何会得出特定的结论。)”说明本段主要介绍了如果把科学解释成一个过程,你可以带领人们了解科学是如何进行的。A项“将科学解释为一个过程。”适合作本段的主旨句,统领全段。故选A。
【38题详解】
下文“And they can also stress the reason why people should trust the course of science to provide the most accurate conclusions possible given the available information. (他们还可以强调为什么人们应该信任科学的过程,因为这一过程能够在现有信息的基础上提供尽可能准确的结论。)”说明科学传播者可以让人们信任科学的过程。空处和下文并列说出科学传播者的作用。下文中的they指代F项中的Science communicators,说明科学传播者可以强调科学是如何进行的,也可以强调为什么人们应该信任科学的过程。所以F项“科学传播者可以强调科学是如何进行的”符合语境。故选F。
【39题详解】
上文“The stories about the environment could weave in connections to higher-priority topics. (关于环境的故事可能会与更高优先级的话题交织在一起。)”说明关于环境的故事可以与更高优先级的主题联系起来。空处指出这样的目的。D项中的“This practice”指代前文中的“将环境故事与更高优先级主题联系起来”这一做法,说明D项“这样做是为了强调内容的重要性。”符合语境。故选D。
【40题详解】
上文“Scientists, of course, can be science communicators, but everyone can tell science’s stories. When we share information online about health, or talk to friends and family about the weather, we contribute to information that circulates about science topics. (当然,科学家可以成为科学传播者,但每个人都可以讲述科学故事。当我们在网上分享有关健康的信息,或与朋友和家人谈论天气时,我们为传播有关科学主题的信息做出了贡献。)”说明我们每个人通过分享日常生活中的信息,都可以成为科学传播者。空处顺接前文,引出下文,指出如何做来强化信息的传递。G项中的“borrow features from stories”和下文中的“a story’s characteristics - character, action, sequence, scope, storyteller and content”相呼应,所以G项“你也不妨借用故事的特点来加强你的信息”符合语境。故选G。

67. 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。
Emily Harper sat at her desk, staring blankly at the math problems in front of her. Numbers and variables danced confusingly across the page, laughing at her every effort. At school, Emily was known for her artistic talents, but math had always been her weakness, No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t make sense of it.
Her struggles only worsened in the 10th grade. The pressure to keep up with her classmates grew, and the poor grades shook her confidence. Her parents decided to step in. “We need to find you some help,” her mother gently suggested one evening.
Then came Mr. Jenkins, a retired local teacher known for his unique teaching style. Emily was initially resistant; the idea of spending extra hours on a subject she hated seemed like a punishment. But - she unwillingly agreed, knowing something had to change.
Their first session was tense. Mr. Jenkins, sensing her frustration, didn’t dive straight into problems. Instead, he asked about her interests. When Emily spoke passionately about her painting, he smiled. “Math is like art, Emily. It has patterns and beauty if you know where to look.”
Doubtful but inspired, Emily listened as he began to explain concepts through visual examples. He used colors and shapes, turning abstract numbers into something almost tangible (有形的). For the first time, math seemed less like a foreign language and more like a puzzle waiting to be solved.
However, progress was slow. Weeks passed with, minimal improvement, and Emily’s patience wore thin. A particularly difficult quiz left her in tears, convinced she was sure to fail. Mr. Jenkins said, “Remember, Emily, every artist starts with a blank canvas. Masterpieces aren’t created overnight.”
Encouraged by his firm belief, Emily pushed on. She began to see the connections between the steps, how each solution followed a logical path. Small victories in practice problems gave her some hope. Mr. Jenkins was always there, celebrating her successes, no matter how minor.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Gradually, Emily’s confidence grew with Mr. Jenkins’ help. She found herself approaching math problems with a newfound curiosity instead of anxiety. The once confusing numbers and symbols began to become patterns she could understand. Mr. Jenkins continued to teach her in his unique way. Emily started to enjoy the challenge, and her once hesitant hand now moved steadily across the paper. The joy she felt when a solution clicked into place was something she had never expected to experience with math.
Emily’s heart raced when the results day arrived. She sat in the classroom, her hands trembling slightly as she received her test paper. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she saw the grade – a solid A. Tears of relief and happiness welled up in her eyes. She looked up at Mr. Jenkins, who stood at the back of the classroom, watching her with a proud smile. In that moment, Emily knew that she had not only conquered her fear of math but also discovered the power of perseverance.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了Emily Harper擅长艺术,但数学一直是她的弱项。尽管努力,她的成绩仍然不理想。她的父母找来退休教师Mr. Jenkins帮助她。通过独特的教学方式,Mr. Jenkins将数学与艺术联系起来,逐渐帮助Emily克服了恐惧,最终取得了好成绩,证明了坚持的力量。

②由第二段首句内容“出成绩那天,Emily的心怦怦直跳”可知,第二段可描写Emily得知自己成绩的喜悦和出乎意料,明白了坚持的意义。
2. 续写线索:信心增加——喜欢挑战——喜悦——得知考试成绩——惊喜——Emily感悟
