第二部分阅读理解(共两节; 满分40分)
第一节(共12小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分30分)
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出最佳选项。
A
At an age where many of his contemporaries are winding down, Jo Schoonbroodt is somehow speeding up. On Sunday, the 71-year-old from the Netherlands, ran a marathon in 2hr 54min 19sec to become the fastest septuagenarian (70-90 年龄组) in history.
A few days later, when the Times catches up with him, his achievement is still sinking in. “I only started jogging at 36 because my doctor told me I had high cholesterol (胆固醇),” he says. “But last year I ran 7,242 kilometres, which is more than double what I did in my car.”
But the secrets of his success might surprise you。 “Most runners train too hard. I do a lot of my training with groups who run very slowly. And then I build on these basics with some faster interval training.”
Schoonbroodt often runs at 9-or 10-minute mile pace, far slower than the 6.38min / mile he ran for 26.2 miles to set his world record, but he says the crucial thing is that he listens to his body. “A lot of people follow a training plan or coach and push on even when their body is saying: ‘No, this is not a good day to do it.’ But if you go out the door and just do what you feel, it’s easier to keep running and stay injury-free.”
Being a late bloomer (大器晚成), he believes, has actually helped him because his ego (自我意识) never had to worry about chasing faster times of his youth. “Because I started so late, I missed my best years. But that’s no problem. Everything is still new to me.”
Schoonbroodt, meanwhile, has no plans to put his feet up. “My next marathon is in two and a half weeks, on an old Roman road built 2,000 years ago,” he says, the excitement obvious. It will be his third in 2023. And with that he is off. After all, the quest (追求) for another sub-three-hour marathon waits for no man. Not even one who is 71.
1. What message does Schoonbrodt’s story carry?
A. It is never too late to run. B. More haste, less speed.
C. Time waits for no man. D. An earlier bird catches the worm.
2. What is the secret behind Schoonbrodt’s success?
A. He competed with slower runners.
B. He made full use of the intervals.
C. He trained in line with his condition.
D. He ran faster in the races than in trainings.
3. Why is being a late bloomer helpful to Schoonbrodt?
A. He can draw lessons from other runners.
B. He has no youthful success to think back to.
C. He can equip himself with new running skills.
D. He has a strong desire to make up for the lost time.
4. How does Schoonbrodt talk about his next marathon?
A. He is unsure of winning it. B. He is eager to participate in it.
C. He has no plan to enter for it. D. He will not run it in three hours.
B
The California sea otter (海獭), once hunted to the edge of extinction, has staged a thrilling comeback in the last century. Now, scientists have discovered that the otters’ success story has led to something just as remarkable: the restoration of their declining coastal marsh (沼泽) habitat.
Elkhorn Slough, a coastal marsh within Monterey Bay, had been experiencing severe damage. The root cause was a growing population of shore crabs, which fed heavily on the marsh plants, weakening the structural integrity of the habitat. Coastal marshes like these are not only natural defenses against storm waves but also serve as important carbon storage areas and water-cleaning systems.
The conservation-driven comeback of the sea otter has been crucial. California’s coastlines were once alive with sea otters. Sadly, they were nearly wiped out at the hands of fur traders. In the 1980s, conservation efforts aided these otters in re-occupying large areas of their former range. Now, Elkhorn Slough has the highest concentration of sea otters in California, with a population of about 100. By naturally feasting on crabs, the otters have helped a significant regrowth of plant life. Brent Hughes, a scientist working alongside Angelini, led a three-year study. Their findings were clear: in areas with sea otters, crab numbers fell markedly. This led to a resurgence in plant growth, which in turn stabilized the soil and lowered the rate of soil washing away.
As the sea otter population continues to restore, their positive impact on coastal ecosystems is likely to increase. It not only showcases the sea otter as a central species - a species that has a significant effect on its natural environment - but also highlights the essential nature of top predators (捕食者) in preserving ecological harmony. “My honest reaction was - this could become a classic in the literature,” says scientist Lekelia Jenkins. She reveals marsh restoration also helps people by reducing flooding. “Suddenly, sea otters go from just cute things we like to something that can protect our livelihoods and our properties.”
5. What change did the disappearance of sea otters bring about?
A. Fewer predatory crabs. B. More coastal plant life.
C. Better water-cleaning effect. D. Worse coastal ecological balance.
6. What does the underlined word “resurgence” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Barrier. B. Advancement.
C. Destruction. D. Revival.
7. What is the author’s purpose in quoting Lekelia Jenkins?
A. To highlight the importance of coastal marshes.
B. To introduce a new research study on sea otters.
C. To demonstrate the practical benefits of sea otters.
D. To emphasize the need for increased conservation efforts.
8. What message is conveyed from sea otters’ impact?
A. The necessity for controlled hunting.
B. The interconnectedness of the ecosystem.
C. The drawbacks of wildlife reintroduction.
D. The need for human intervention in nature.
C
Black Myth: Wukong is one of the most highly anticipated Chinese video games ever, a premium title with a blockbuster- worthy budget that emphasizes the country’s push to become a global cultural power. The game’s release is a landmark moment for China’s gaming industry. It is considered China’s first “AAA” title, a big- budget, global game with sophisticated gameplay and advanced visuals.
Within hours of its release, there were more than 1.5million people playing it on Steam, making it the No.1 game on the online platform. Black Myth: Wuhong is adapted from the16th- century Chinese classic novel Journey to the West. The game’s main character is inspired by Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King, who battles opponents with a magic iron bar.
China’s video game industry is dominated by titles played on smartphones, not big- budget console (主机游戏) or PC games that are released globally. However, Black Myth: Wukong marks a shift as it is being initially released on Sony’s PlayStation 5 and personal computers. In recent years, the industry in China has faced significant challenges. The government has implemented strict regulations to control gaming due to concerns that children could become addicted and negatively influenced. For example, Beijing has introduced rules that prohibit young people from playing games online on school days and impose strict time limits on gaming during weekends and holidays.
But the game’s launch lit up national pride. One Chinese media outlet noted that the game’s default language is Chinese and added “It feels so good.” The global interest in the game also highlighted China’s push to exercise its “soft power.” The novel that it is based on is considered one of China’s four great classics. The game also depicts important cultural landmarks throughout China.
“The success of Black Myth: Wukong is not only a victory for the gaming industry, but also an important milestone in the overseas expansion of Chinese culture,” Yangcheng Evening News, a state- owned newspaper, wrote in an article.
9. What do we know about Black Myth: Wukong?
A. It focuses on basic gameplay elements.
B. It shifts China’s gaming towards consoles.
C. It features a world born of pure imagination.
D. It acts as a landmark for adapting Chinese myth.
10. What challenge has China’s gaming industry faced recently?
A. Insufficient budget for game development.
B. Increasing popularity of smartphone games.
C. China’s lack of emphasis on cultural soft power.
D. Government measures to restrict youth gaming time.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The game targets Western audience with its cultural themes.
B. The game is a big step in showing Chinese culture worldwide.
C. The game’s success is a way to boost China’s economic growth.
D. The game strengthens national pride by highlighting Chinese culture.
12. What can be the best title of the text?
A. Black Myth: Wukong as a Cultural Ambassador
B. The Impact of Gaming Industry on China’s Youth
C The Impact of Gaming Industry on Chinese Culture
D. Black Myth: Wukong’s Influence on Game Mechanics
第二节(共5小题: 每小题2分, 满分10分)
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。
Once upon a time, sewing and mending (缝补) clothes was common. At some point in the last few decades, though, it became something of a lost art. ____13____ Schools stopped offering home economics classes, technology boomed and fast fashion became increasingly popular. All of a sudden, it’s more inconvenient to fix something than it is to buy something new.
But all hope is not lost. ____14____ On one of the most pleasant corners of the Internet, you’ll find lots of videos showcasing everything from visible mending to beginner sewing journeys.
____15____ Mending is a great way to reject consumerism. As any eco-expert will tell you, the best thing you can do is buy less to begin with. That means shopping for quality items that will stand the test of time, but also learning a few key skills so you can repair those items as needed rather than sentencing them to life in an already-overflowing landfill. It’s also helpful to customize (改制) secondhand items which might not be exactly the right size or a little out of date. ____16____
Beyond the functional benefits, mending is about using what you have, embracing imperfections, fixing what’s broken, and rejecting the idea that newer is better. The other aspect of mending is mindfulness. You focus on the task at hand and use your creativity to make your clothes unique. It’s meditative (冥想的), slow work. ____17____ And an added bonus: It’s sustainable.
If you are interested in sewing and mending, it is the perfect time to learn the new skill, which can especially have a positive impact on the world.
A. Why should you learn to mend?
B. This is a means of making a living.
C. It’s productive, and deeply satisfying.
D. Purchasing secondhand clothes is a good choice.
E. Why have people stopped mending their clothing?
F. This way, you may find yourself upcycling pieces into ones that suit you.
G. In the past few years, there’s been growing interest in slow fashion — sewing and mending.

It feels academic. It’s not expressive.”
I have since ____28____ two sketchbooks with portraits (肖像), not as studies for future work, but as individual expressions. Similarly, Gregory described how he filled a sketchbook with drawings of his tea cup, emphasizing the ____29____ of repetitive practice. My latest sketchbook will ____30____ the biggest challenges of all my drawings— ____31____ .

A thousand miles can be used to describe something very long or very distant, either a dam or a journey. There are more than a dozen Chinese idioms ___43___ (use) the phrase “a thousand miles” in a figurative way. Here are two common ones that seem ___44___(express) a similar idea.
The first one is “An ant’s hole may cause the collapse of a thousand-mile-long dam.” This saying comes from Han Feizi, one of the most important philosophical ___45___ (classic) in ancient China. It sounds quite similar to a ___46___ (know) quotation by American statesman and inventor Benjamin Franklin, ___47___ warned about frittering money away by saying, “Beware of little expenses—a small leak will sink a great ship.”
The other Chinese idiom involving “a thousand miles” is a famous quotation from Lao Tzu, a top ancient Chinese philosopher, author of Daodejing, or the Tao Te Ching, and ___48___ (found) of Taoism, who lived during the later years of the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC). The philosopher once said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins ___49___ a single step.” It’s true that if one doesn’t take the first step, a journey ___50___ (remain) a dream forever. This may also apply to the journey of life, an ambition or an understanding.
Both Chinese idioms indicate that something may seem like a small amount, ___51___ it adds up over time. In English, there are several expressions that echo this same point: “Take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of ____52____ (they),” and “Little and often fills the purse.”

Henry Davis was a retired teacher who decided to take up the hobby of gardening after his wife’s death. He had a big lawn and wanted to plant some colorful flower bushes, herbs and crops.
One day, Henry drove to the store to buy more gardening tools. While passing the neighborhood primary school, he noticed a boy being pressed against the wall by his classmates. “You’re such a loser, Lucas!” the kids shouted at him. The boy was close to tears, trembling and not saying a word. Greatly annoyed, Henry parked the car on the side of the road and approached them.
“Why are you bullying this young boy? Do you want me to call your teachers or your parents? Leave him alone!” he shouted. Frightened by Henry, the boy’s classmates ran away immediately. Henry then asked the poor boy, “Are you all right?” The boy nodded and thanked Henry for help.
After taking a good look at the boy, Henry realized that he was his neighbor Lucas, so he offered to take Lucas home after a quick stop at the store. While at the store, Lucas discovered Henry’s love for gardening. They talked about his crops and how gardening made the old man happy.
On the drive home, Henry decided to ask Lucas about his classmates. “Why are they treating you like that? Do they always give you a hard time?” he asked the boy. “Yes. Maybe because I don’t like the same things as they do, they keep calling me a loser.” he sighed. “Have you ever asked your parents or teachers for help?” Henry added. “I think it’s better to avoid trouble if possible.” Lucas shook his head helplessly.
Listening to Lucas’s answer, Henry recalled his days as a teacher. If he were still on the job, he would never allow such a thing to happen to his students. Looking at this poor child, Henry was determined to do something.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Schoonbroodt, meanwhile, has no plans to put his feet up. “My next marathon is in two and a half weeks, on an old Roman road built 2,000 years ago,” he says, the excitement obvious. It will be his third in 2023. And with that he is off. After all, the quest (追求) for another sub-three-hour marathon waits for no man. Not even one who is 71.
1. What message does Schoonbrodt’s story carry?
A. It is never too late to run. B. More haste, less speed.
C. Time waits for no man. D. An earlier bird catches the worm.
2. What is the secret behind Schoonbrodt’s success?
A. He competed with slower runners.
B. He made full use of the intervals.
C. He trained in line with his condition.
D. He ran faster in the races than in trainings.
3. Why is being a late bloomer helpful to Schoonbrodt?
A. He can draw lessons from other runners.
B. He has no youthful success to think back to.
C. He can equip himself with new running skills.
D. He has a strong desire to make up for the lost time.
4. How does Schoonbrodt talk about his next marathon?

C. He has no plan to enter for it. D. He will not run it in three hours.
【答案】1. A 2. C 3. B 4. B

Not even one who is 71.”(毕竟,对另一场不到3小时的马拉松的追求是不等人的,即使是71岁的人也不等。)可知,Schoonbroodt对于自己下一个马拉松的到来是很兴奋和期待的,非常渴望能够参加。故选B。

The California sea otter (海獭), once hunted to the edge of extinction, has staged a thrilling comeback in the last century. Now, scientists have discovered that the otters’ success story has led to something just as remarkable: the restoration of their declining coastal marsh (沼泽) habitat.
Elkhorn Slough, a coastal marsh within Monterey Bay, had been experiencing severe damage. The root cause was a growing population of shore crabs, which fed heavily on the marsh plants, weakening the structural integrity of the habitat. Coastal marshes like these are not only natural defenses against storm waves but also serve as important carbon storage areas and water-cleaning systems.
The conservation-driven comeback of the sea otter has been crucial. California’s coastlines were once alive with sea otters. Sadly, they were nearly wiped out at the hands of fur traders. In the 1980s, conservation efforts aided these otters in re-occupying large areas of their former range. Now, Elkhorn Slough has the highest concentration of sea otters in California, with a population of about 100. By naturally feasting on crabs, the otters have helped a significant regrowth of plant life. Brent Hughes, a scientist working alongside Angelini, led a three-year study. Their findings were clear: in areas with sea otters, crab numbers fell markedly. This led to a resurgence in plant growth, which in turn stabilized the soil and lowered the rate of soil washing away.
As the sea otter population continues to restore, their positive impact on coastal ecosystems is likely to increase. It not only showcases the sea otter as a central species - a species that has a significant effect on its natural environment - but also highlights the essential nature of top predators (捕食者) in preserving ecological harmony. “My honest reaction was - this could become a classic in the literature,” says scientist Lekelia Jenkins. She reveals marsh restoration also helps people by reducing flooding. “Suddenly, sea otters go from just cute things we like to something that can protect our livelihoods and our properties.”
5. What change did the disappearance of sea otters bring about?
A. Fewer predatory crabs. B. More coastal plant life.
C. Better water-cleaning effect. D. Worse coastal ecological balance.
6. What does the underlined word “resurgence” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Barrier. B. Advancement.
C. Destruction. D. Revival.
7. What is the author’s purpose in quoting Lekelia Jenkins?
A. To highlight the importance of coastal marshes.
B. To introduce a new research study on sea otters.
C. To demonstrate the practical benefits of sea otters.
D. To emphasize the need for increased conservation efforts.
8. What message is conveyed from sea otters’ impact?
A. The necessity for controlled hunting.
B. The interconnectedness of the ecosystem.
C. The drawbacks of wildlife reintroduction.
D. The need for human intervention in nature.
【答案】5. D 6. D 7. C 8. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍海獭的恢复历程及其对沿海沼泽生态系统的积极影响,强调了顶级捕食者在维持生态平衡中的重要作用。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Elkhorn Slough, a coastal marsh within Monterey Bay, had been experiencing severe damage. The root cause was a growing population of shore crabs, which fed heavily on the marsh plants, weakening the structural integrity of the habitat. (埃尔克霍恩沼泽是蒙特利湾的一个沿海沼泽,已经遭受了严重的破坏。根本原因是岸边蟹的数量不断增加,它们以沼泽植物为食,削弱了栖息地的结构完整性.)”可知,海獭的消失导致了沿海生态平衡的恶化。故选D项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句前文“By naturally feasting on crabs, the otters have helped a significant regrowth of plant life. (通过以螃蟹为食,水獭帮助了植物的再生。)”说明水獭通过以螃蟹为食,可以帮助植物的再生,从而推知划线词句“Their findings were clear: in areas with sea otters, crab numbers fell markedly. This led to a resurgence in plant growth, which in turn stabilized the soil and lowered the rate of soil washing away. (他们的发现很明确:在有海獭的地区,螃蟹的数量明显下降。这导致了植物生长的resurgence,反过来又稳定了土壤,降低了土壤被冲走的速度。)”其中划线词应为“复苏”的意思,与D项同义。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘My honest reaction was - this could become a classic in the literature,’ says scientist Lekelia Jenkins. She reveals marsh restoration also helps people by reducing flooding. ‘Suddenly, sea otters go from just cute things we like to something that can protect our livelihoods and our properties.’ (科学家Lekelia Jenkins 说:‘我的真实反应是,这可能会成为文学经典。’她透露,沼泽恢复也通过减少洪水来帮助人们。‘突然之间,海獭从我们喜欢的可爱动物变成了可以保护我们生计和财产的动物。’)”可知,作者引用Lekelia Jenkins的话是为了展示海獭对人类的实际益处,如减少洪水灾害等。故选C项。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As the sea otter population continues to restore, their positive impact on coastal ecosystems is likely to increase. It not only showcases the sea otter as a central species - a species that has a significant effect on its natural environment - but also highlights the essential nature of top predators (捕食者) in preserving ecological harmony. (随着海獭数量的持续恢复,它们对沿海生态系统的积极影响可能会增加。它不仅展示了海獭作为一个关键物种——一个对自然环境有重大影响的物种——而且突出了顶级捕食者在维护生态和谐方面的本质。)”可知,文章通过展示海獭对沿海生态系统的积极影响,传达了生态系统之间相互联系的信息。故选B项。
C
Black Myth: Wukong is one of the most highly anticipated Chinese video games ever, a premium title with a blockbuster- worthy budget that emphasizes the country’s push to become a global cultural power. The game’s release is a landmark moment for China’s gaming industry. It is considered China’s first “AAA” title, a big- budget, global game with sophisticated gameplay and advanced visuals.
Within hours of its release, there were more than 1.5million people playing it on Steam, making it the No.1 game on the online platform. Black Myth: Wuhong is adapted from the16th- century Chinese classic novel Journey to the West. The game’s main character is inspired by Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King, who battles opponents with a magic iron bar.
China’s video game industry is dominated by titles played on smartphones, not big- budget console (主机游戏) or PC games that are released globally. However, Black Myth: Wukong marks a shift as it is being initially released on Sony’s PlayStation 5 and personal computers. In recent years, the industry in China has faced significant challenges. The government has implemented strict regulations to control gaming due to concerns that children could become addicted and negatively influenced. For example, Beijing has introduced rules that prohibit young people from playing games online on school days and impose strict time limits on gaming during weekends and holidays.
But the game’s launch lit up national pride. One Chinese media outlet noted that the game’s default language is Chinese and added, “It feels so good.” The global interest in the game also highlighted China’s push to exercise its “soft power.” The novel that it is based on is considered one of China’s four great classics. The game also depicts important cultural landmarks throughout China.
“The success of Black Myth: Wukong is not only a victory for the gaming industry, but also an important milestone in the overseas expansion of Chinese culture,” Yangcheng Evening News, a state- owned newspaper, wrote in an article.
9. What do we know about Black Myth: Wukong?
A. It focuses on basic gameplay elements.
B. It shifts China’s gaming towards consoles.
C. It features a world born of pure imagination.
D. It acts as a landmark for adapting Chinese myth.
10. What challenge has China’s gaming industry faced recently?
A. Insufficient budget for game development.
B. Increasing popularity of smartphone games.
C. China’s lack of emphasis on cultural soft power.
D. Government measures to restrict youth gaming time.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The game targets Western audience with its cultural themes.
B. The game is a big step in showing Chinese culture worldwide.
C. The game’s success is a way to boost China’s economic growth.
D. The game strengthens national pride by highlighting Chinese culture.
12. What can be the best title of the text?
A. Black Myth: Wukong as a Cultural Ambassador
B. The Impact of Gaming Industry on China’s Youth
C. The Impact of Gaming Industry on Chinese Culture
D. Black Myth: Wukong’s Influence on Game Mechanics
【答案】9. B 10. D 11. B 12. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了主机游戏《黑神话:悟空》以及该游戏和中国文化之间的关系。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“China’s video game industry is dominated by titles played on smartphones, not big- budget console(主机游戏)or PC games that are released globally. However, Black Myth: Wukong marks a shift as it is being initially released on Sony’s PlayStation 5 and personal computers.(中国的电子游戏行业主要是在智能手机上玩的游戏,而不是在全球发行的大预算游戏机或PC游戏。然而,《黑神话:悟空》标志着一个转变,因为它最初是在索尼的PlayStation 5和个人电脑上发布的。)”可知,《黑神话:悟空》改变了中国的游戏平台。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“In recent years, the industry in China has faced significant challenges. The government has implemented strict regulations to control gaming due to concerns that children could become addicted and negatively influenced. For example, Beijing has introduced rules that prohibit young people from playing games online on school days and impose strict time limits on gaming during weekends and holidays.(近年来,中国的这个行业面临着巨大的挑战。政府已经实施了严格的规定来控制游戏,因为担心孩子们可能会上瘾并产生负面影响。例如,北京出台了规定,禁止年轻人在上学期间玩网络游戏,并对周末和节假日的游戏时间进行了严格限制。)”可知,中国游戏产业最近面临的挑战是政府限制青少年玩游戏的时间。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““The success of Black Myth: Wukong is not only a victory for the gaming industry, but also an important milestone in the overseas expansion of Chinese culture,” Yangcheng Evening News, a state- owned newspaper, wrote in an article.(“《黑神话:悟空》的成功不仅是游戏行业的胜利,也是中国文化海外扩张的一个重要里程碑,”国有报纸《羊城晚报》在一篇文章中写道。)”可知,这个游戏是向世界展示中国文化的一大步。故选B项。
【12题详解】

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。
Once upon a time, sewing and mending (缝补) clothes was common. At some point in the last few decades, though, it became something of a lost art. ____13____ Schools stopped offering home economics classes, technology boomed and fast fashion became increasingly popular. All of a sudden, it’s more inconvenient to fix something than it is to buy something new.
But all hope is not lost. ____14____ On one of the most pleasant corners of the Internet, you’ll find lots of videos showcasing everything from visible mending to beginner sewing journeys.
____15____ Mending is a great way to reject consumerism. As any eco-expert will tell you, the best thing you can do is buy less to begin with. That means shopping for quality items that will stand the test of time, but also learning a few key skills so you can repair those items as needed rather than sentencing them to life in an already-overflowing landfill. It’s also helpful to customize (改制) secondhand items which might not be exactly the right size or a little out of date. ____16____
Beyond the functional benefits, mending is about using what you have, embracing imperfections, fixing what’s broken, and rejecting the idea that newer is better. The other aspect of mending is mindfulness. You focus on the task at hand and use your creativity to make your clothes unique. It’s meditative (冥想的), slow work. ____17____ And an added bonus: It’s sustainable.
If you are interested in sewing and mending, it is the perfect time to learn the new skill, which can especially have a positive impact on the world.
A. Why should you learn to mend?
B. This is a means of making a living.
C. It’s productive, and deeply satisfying.
D. Purchasing secondhand clothes is a good choice.
E. Why have people stopped mending their clothing?
F. This way, you may find yourself upcycling pieces into ones that suit you.
G. In the past few years, there’s been growing interest in slow fashion — sewing and mending.
【答案】13. E 14. G 15. A 16. F 17. C

【详解】考查名词的数。句意:小姐,祝贺你成年了!根据句意“小姐,祝贺你成年了!”以及括号内给出的汉语提示“祝贺”,可知空格处需要填入表示祝贺的英文单词。在英文中,“祝贺”常用“congratulations”来表示,且该词常以复数形式出现,用于向某人表示祝贺或庆祝某事。故填congratulations。
36. When asked about their work schedules, many people preferred more __________ (灵活的) work hours. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】flexible
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意:当被问及他们的工作时间安排时,许多人更喜欢灵活的工作时间。根据汉语意思提示可知,此处为形容词flexible“灵活的”作定语修饰work hours,满足句意要求。故填flexible。

【答案】folded
【解析】
【分析】

41. resulting in
42. in disguise
【解析】
【38题详解】

【39题详解】
考查短语。句意:由于词汇量大,他常被称为活字典。短语refer to...as…为“把……称作……”之意,与主语he之间为被动关系,所以is后接动词的过去分词形式,构成一般现在时的被动语态。结合句意,故填referred to。
【40题详解】
考查短语。句意:小波正在寻找一款锻炼应用程序来帮助他保持身材。短语get in shape为“保持体形”之意。结合句意,故填in shape。

考查短语。句意:失去那份工作反而是因祸得福——我找到了一份更好的工作。短语a blessing in disguise为“塞翁失马, 因祸得福”之意。结合句意,故填in disguise。
第三节语法填空(共10小题, 每小题1.5分, 满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
A thousand miles can be used to describe something very long or very distant, either a dam or a journey. There are more than a dozen Chinese idioms ___43___ (use) the phrase “a thousand miles” in a figurative way. Here are two common ones that seem ___44___(express) a similar idea.
The first one is “An ant’s hole may cause the collapse of a thousand-mile-long dam.” This saying comes from Han Feizi, one of the most important philosophical ___45___ (classic) in ancient China. It sounds quite similar to a ___46___ (know) quotation by American statesman and inventor Benjamin Franklin, ___47___ warned about frittering money away by saying, “Beware of little expenses—a small leak will sink a great ship.”
The other Chinese idiom involving “a thousand miles” is a famous quotation from Lao Tzu, a top ancient Chinese philosopher, author of Daodejing, or the Tao Te Ching, and ___48___ (found) of Taoism, who lived during the later years of the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC). The philosopher once said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins ___49___ a single step.” It’s true that if one doesn’t take the first step, a journey ___50___ (remain) a dream forever. This may also apply to the journey of life, an ambition or an understanding.
Both Chinese idioms indicate that something may seem like a small amount, ___51___ it adds up over time. In English, there are several expressions that echo this same point: “Take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of ____52____ (they),” and “Little and often fills the purse.”
【答案】43. using
44. to express
45. classics
46. known 47. who
48. founder
49. with##at
50. will remain
51. but 52. themselves
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了两个与“千里”有关的成语。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:中国有十几个成语比喻地使用了“千里”这个短语。句中已有谓语动词are,所以空处用非谓语动词形式。idioms与use构成了逻辑上的主动关系,所以用现在分词作后置定语。故填using。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这里有两个常见的表达了类似的概念。seem to do sth.是固定用法,表示“似乎做某事”。故填to express。
【45题详解】
考查名词单复数。句意:这句话出自中国古代最重要的哲学经典之一《韩非子》。classic意为“名著”, 是可数名词。one of the +形容词最高级+复数名词。故填classics。
【46题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这听起来很像美国政治家和发明家本杰明·富兰克林的一句名言,他警告人们不要浪费金钱,他说:“谨防小开销——小漏洞会沉大船。”修饰名词应用形容词,此处known是形容词,意为“知名的”,修饰名词quotation。 故填known。
【47题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这听起来很像美国政治家和发明家本杰明·富兰克林的一句名言,他警告人们不要浪费金钱,他说:“谨防小开销——小漏洞会沉大船。”空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是Benjamin Franklin,指人,在定语从句中充当主语。因此,此处要用关系代词who 来引导这个非限定性定语从句。故填who。
【48题详解】
考查名词。句意:另一个与“千里”有关的成语是老子的名言。老子是中国古代著名哲学家,著有《道德经》,是道教的创始人,他生活在春秋末期(公元前770-476年)。根据句意可知,此处应该填found的名词形式 founder, 意为“创办者”,指老子,应用名词单数形式。 故填founder。
【49题详解】
考查介词。句意:哲人曾说:“千里之行,始于足下。” begin with/at... 表示“以……开始”,是固定短语。故填with/at。
【50题详解】
考查时态。句意:的确,如果一个人不迈出第一步,旅程将永远是一个梦想。在if引导的条件状语从句中,当从句部分的时态是一般现在时时,主句部分常用一般将来时。所以此处要填will remain。故填will remain。
【51题详解】
考查连词。句意:这两个中文成语都表明,有些东西可能看起来数量很少,但随着时间的推移会积累起来。前后句构成转折关系,所以此处用转折连词but。故填but。
【52题详解】
考查代词。句意:在英语中,有几个表达表达了同样的观点:“积少成多”和“小钱积成万”。代指复数名词pounds,且表示“照顾好自己”,所以用反身代词。故填themselves。

54. 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。
Henry Davis was a retired teacher who decided to take up the hobby of gardening after his wife’s death. He had a big lawn and wanted to plant some colorful flower bushes, herbs and crops.
One day, Henry drove to the store to buy more gardening tools. While passing the neighborhood primary school, he noticed a boy being pressed against the wall by his classmates. “You’re such a loser, Lucas!” the kids shouted at him. The boy was close to tears, trembling and not saying a word. Greatly annoyed, Henry parked the car on the side of the road and approached them.
“Why are you bullying this young boy? Do you want me to call your teachers or your parents? Leave him alone!” he shouted. Frightened by Henry, the boy’s classmates ran away immediately. Henry then asked the poor boy, “Are you all right?” The boy nodded and thanked Henry for help.
After taking a good look at the boy, Henry realized that he was his neighbor Lucas, so he offered to take Lucas home after a quick stop at the store. While at the store, Lucas discovered Henry’s love for gardening. They talked about his crops and how gardening made the old man happy.
On the drive home, Henry decided to ask Lucas about his classmates. “Why are they treating you like that? Do they always give you a hard time?” he asked the boy. “Yes. Maybe because I don’t like the same things as they do, they keep calling me a loser.” he sighed. “Have you ever asked your parents or teachers for help?” Henry added. “I think it’s better to avoid trouble if possible.” Lucas shook his head helplessly.
Listening to Lucas’s answer, Henry recalled his days as a teacher. If he were still on the job, he would never allow such a thing to happen to his students. Looking at this poor child, Henry was determined to do something.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
The next day, Henry invited Lucas to visit his garden.

One month later, cornered by his classmates once again, Lucas decided not to keep silent any more.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
The next day, Henry invited Lucas to visit his garden. Lucas was amazed by the lush greenery and the vibrant colors of the flowers. Henry showed him how to plant seeds and tend to the garden. As they spent time gardening together, Lucas found solace in the peaceful activity and joy in watching his efforts bloom into life. Henry took this opportunity to teach Lucas the values of patience, perseverance, and self-worth. Lucas began to visit Henry regularly, finding comfort and strength in their conversations and shared hobby.
One month later, cornered by his classmates once again, Lucas decided not to keep silent any more. Remembering Henry’s teachings, he stood his ground and spoke confidently, “I may not like the same things as you, but that doesn’t make me a loser.” His firmness surprised his classmates, and they didn’t know how to respond. Gradually, Lucas’s confidence grew, and he started making new friends who appreciated him for who he was. Lucas no longer felt lonely, and he continued to flourish both at school and in Henry’s garden.
