Many unique caves in the world are found on the shores of oceans and lakes. They are always there to attract visitors across the globe.
Sea Lion Caves
Found on the Oregon Coast, it’s well-known as the only mainland breeding ground (繁殖地) of the Steller sea lion, a near-threatened species. It’s also the longest sea cave in North America, measuring1,315 feet long. Most of the cave is at sea level and is flooded with water at high tide. One section of the cave, sitting 50 feet higher, serves as a platform to view the creatures’ habitat.
Apostle Islands Sea Caves
Wisconsin’s Apostle Islands Sea Caves are sandstone caves on the shores of Lake Superior. The caves are accessible by boat in summer, but seeing the caves during winter has become a popular, if weather-dependent, alternative. When Lake Superior freezes, the ice is sometimes thick enough to allow hikers to walk across the lake and explore the caves.
Great Blue Hole
Located off the coast of Belize, it’s a vertical cave that’s entirely underwater. It measures 984 feet in diameter and 410 feet deep. With its beautiful, clear water and a variety of wild marine life residing in its depths, the Great Blue Hole is most famous as a scuba-diving destination. Although the Great Blue Hole is one of the most spectacular, it’s not the world’s only blue hole.
Painted Cave
The Painted Cave, located on California’s Santa Cruz Island, is an expansive sea cave known for the colorful rocks, lichen and algae found on its walls. After the Sea Lion Caves, it’s the second-longest sea cave in North America, at 1,227 feet long. The cave is a popular kayaking (划艇) destination since the cave’s bottom is underwater for its entire length.
1. What may contribute most to Sea Lion Caves’ fame?
A. Being the breeding place for a rare species.
B. Being the longest sea caves across the world.
C. Its seasonal high tides at such a low sea level.
D. Its distinct platform for watching sea creatures.
2. What time might be appealing to visit Apostle Islands Sea Caves?
A. In spring time. B. During winter time.
C. In summer time. D. In the fall.
3. What do Great Blue Hole and Painted Cave have in common?
A. They can produce pleasing sound. B. They inspired many famous artists.
C. They could be a potential danger. D. They both enjoy water-based sports.
B
Many teenagers like to battle it out in the world of video games, but 15-year-old Ming Letian buries himself in the world of numbers: sudoku (数独). From November 6 to 7, the 13th World Sudoku Cham- pionship (WSC), attracting 248 contestants from 33 countries and regions, was held in Prague, capital of the Czech Republic. The Chinese under-18 sudoku team swept the individual medals and won the team silver. As a member of the national team, Ming, the Senior 1 student from Dalian No 24 High School, Liaoning province, took the top position.
Like most people, Ming fell in love with sudoku after he first encounter the simple yet challenging game in a newspaper when he was just 6 years old. With pencil in hand, he quickly filled in a grid (方格) of 9×9 boxes so that every row, column and square contained the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition. From 2015 he learned strategies and visualization techniques from teachers; then he took to the field.
“The joy of the game is discovering new ways to solve a problem,” said Ming. “When I filled in the last squares, after an hour of thinking, I had a sense of achievement.” Solving a puzzle on a couch, however, is very different from filling in grids at the World Championship. In competition, players need to complete a variety of sudoku puzzles of different sizes, shapes and skill levels — easy, medium and hard. Every puzzle is timed, which means that players have to finish them quickly and correctly.
Although we’re not all geniuses, millions of people are still addicted to this game. “Sudoku relies on logic, not knowledge. You don’t have to know anything, basically, to do it. So why not sharpen your reasoning and give it a shot?” wrote Will Shortz, crossword editor for a newspaper.
4. What was Ming Letian’s achievement at the WSC?
A. He won the team gold. B. He came in second place.
C. He won the bronze medal. D. He ranked first individually.
5. How did Ming Letian become interested in sudoku?
A. He was inspired by many other role models. B. He saw the game via media at a young age.
C. He was satisfied with solving the puzzles. D. He learned about it from his math teacher.
6. What might be one of the challenges faced by players at the WSC?
A. Speed and accuracy are needed for each puzzle. B. Every puzzle examines higher-order thinking.
C. Pencils are not allowed to fill in the squares. D. They have to stand up long to finish the game.
7. What can be inferred from Will Shortz’s words?
A. Sudoku is mainly genius-focused. B. Sudoku is just knowledge-based.
C. Sudoku is beneficial to logical reasoning. D. Sudoku is the basis of mental growth.
C
“I’d like to have your problem!” It is a common remark made to underweight people, who tend to awake more envy than sympathy. However, underweight people have just as much trouble putting on the pounds as overweight people have losing them — they are also related to health risks.
The problem of the underweight is that they are unwilling or unable to eat enough, or they eat like a horse but still do not gain weight. They have a fast metabolism (新陈代谢) and can eat whatever they want without putting on kilograms. People with a slow metabolism deposit most of the energy they take in with food as body fat. People with a fast metabolism burn this energy off, producing heat.
To someone who is overweight, a fast metabolism may seem desirable. But from a medical standpoint it is a problem. Being underweight is usually accompanied by a lack of basic nutrients and/ or trace elements. This increases the risk of developing disorders such as osteoporosis, weakens muscle function and slows the healing of wounds. Underweight people are often elderly, have little appetite or perhaps are no longer able to chew properly. People can also lose a lot of weight due to a serious disease or chemotherapy (化疗).
A potential health problem is also sometimes to blame. Even young, healthy people can be affected when they feel stressed out emotionally. A classic case is lovesickness. Your stomach feels as though tied up in knots, your nerves are shaky, and after two bites of food you are full. Before long, your body is running out of energy, and you either become sleepy or more nervous — in any case you eat even less and then enter a downward spiral (螺旋轨道). What will you do when your trousers get baggy, your eyes start to widen, your bones and teeth start to stick out, your energy level drops and your sensitiveness rises?
8. What message does Paragraph 1 convey?
A. Being thin is popular among the young. B. Being fat is dangerous for an elderly man.
C. Either being fat or thin can be a health risk. D. Losing weight is harder than gaining weight.
9. When are people more likely to be underweight?
A. When they have no teeth to chew. B. When they suffer from a big illness.
C. When they are addicted to their work. D. When they have a slow metabolism.
10. What is the writing style of the last paragraph?
A. Critical. B. Vivid. C. Abstract. D. Academic.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Weight Matters To Health B. Mind Your Daily Diet
C. Fat Is A Risk Too D. Thin Is Not In
D
Have you ever noticed that you can understand a sentence even if the words are jumbled up or disorganized? You can probably read this easily despite the misspellings. Scientists aren’t completely sure how our brains can read the sentence above, but they think one reason is that our brains analyze the con-text to guess what’s coming next. Research has revealed that when we hear a sound that leads us to expect another sound, the brain reacts as if we’ re already hearing that second sound.
This is similar to how the brain responds to an arrangement of letters or words. As our brain deciphers each word in the example above, it predicts which words will come next to make a sentence that makes sense. “We are always guessing what we will see, hear, or feel next,” says Dr. Lars Muckli, a researcher at the University of Glasgow. But, besides predicting what’s next, our brain also fills in any blanks based on the words that come after.
However, even if we read that mixed-up example easily, we might not have read every word right. We thought we did because we understood the sentence structure. But what if the first and last letters of the word are in place? Could we understand it better?
“It doesn’t matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only impotent thing is that the first and last letter be at the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole.”
According to Matt Davis, a senior researcher at Cambridge’s Cognition and Brain Science Unit, that’s not entirely true. “Clearly, the first and last letter is not the only thing that you use when reading text,” he writes. “If this really was the case, how would you tell the difference between pairs of words like ‘salt’ and ‘slat’?”
12. What function do scientists believe our brains have?
A. They may ignore unnecessary information.
B. They only focus on the first and last letters.
C. They can produce context-based outcome.
D. They can precisely see the future words.
13. What does the underlined word “deciphers” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Interprets. B. Spells. C. Memorizes. D. Pronounces.
14. What is the writing purpose of the fourth paragraph?
A. To demonstrate where the key words are. B. To introduce what elements a paragraph has.
C. To illustrate how the sentence structure matters. D. To show the way the brain processes the words.
15. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Why the brain can read mixed-up letters. B. What messy letters mean to the readers.
C. How random letters can form meanings. D. What if the brain cannot process the sound.

There is something about sharing food outdoors in fine weather that makes a meal taste more delicious than when it’s eaten at home. The downside of modern-day picnics, however, is the plastic waste they tend to generate. ___16___

Alex and Eric, two high school seniors filled with a thirst for adventure, decided to kick off a hiking trip through the rough mountains surrounding their small town. Equipped with basic supplies and a spirit of adventure, they set out early one morning, eager to explore the unknown.
The sun shone brightly as they climbed higher, the air growing thinner with each step. The scenery was breathtaking — bushy forests gave way to rocky cliffs (悬崖), and the sound of rushing water echoed through the valleys. But as the day wore on, the weather began to turn. Dark clouds gathered on the horizon, and a chill wind picked up.
“Alex, do you think we should turn back?” Eric asked, his voice full of concern.
Alex hesitated, staring at the sky. “It might pass, but we should be prepared. Let’s find shelter first.”
They pressed on, eventually running across a small cave hidden among the rocks. Inside, they huddled (依偎) together, sharing their limited supplies and waiting for the storm to pass. The hours ticked by, and the rain pounded constantly outside.
“I never imagined it would be like this,” Eric whispered, his teeth chattering (格格作响).
Alex put an arm around him. “Life’s not always smooth sailing Eric. But we’ll get through this together.”
As the night approached, their willpower strengthened. They talked about their dreams, fears, and the lessons they had learned so far. The storm outside seemed to mirror the challenges they faced in life, testing their limits and deepening their bond.
Finally, as dawn broke, the rain stopped. Alex and Eric emerged from the cave, their clothes damp but their spirits high. The mountain air was agreeable and clean, and the view from the mountain top was amazing.
“We made it,” Eric said, smiling through tears of relief and joy.
Alex nodded, his eyes fixed on the horizon. “And we’ll make it through whatever comes next, too.”

Many teenagers like to battle it out in the world of video games, but 15-year-old Ming Letian buries himself in the world of numbers: sudoku (数独). From November 6 to 7, the 13th World Sudoku Cham- pionship (WSC), attracting 248 contestants from 33 countries and regions, was held in Prague, capital of the Czech Republic. The Chinese under-18 sudoku team swept the individual medals and won the team silver. As a member of the national team, Ming, the Senior 1 student from Dalian No 24 High School, Liaoning province, took the top position.
Like most people, Ming fell in love with sudoku after he first encounter the simple yet challenging game in a newspaper when he was just 6 years old. With pencil in hand, he quickly filled in a grid (方格) of 9×9 boxes so that every row, column and square contained the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition. From 2015 he learned strategies and visualization techniques from teachers; then he took to the field.
“The joy of the game is discovering new ways to solve a problem,” said Ming. “When I filled in the last squares, after an hour of thinking, I had a sense of achievement.” Solving a puzzle on a couch, however, is very different from filling in grids at the World Championship. In competition, players need to complete a variety of sudoku puzzles of different sizes, shapes and skill levels — easy, medium and hard. Every puzzle is timed, which means that players have to finish them quickly and correctly.
Although we’re not all geniuses, millions of people are still addicted to this game. “Sudoku relies on logic, not knowledge. You don’t have to know anything, basically, to do it. So why not sharpen your reasoning and give it a shot?” wrote Will Shortz, crossword editor for a newspaper.
4. What was Ming Letian’s achievement at the WSC?
A. He won the team gold. B. He came in second place.
C. He won the bronze medal. D. He ranked first individually.
5. How did Ming Letian become interested in sudoku?
A. He was inspired by many other role models. B. He saw the game via media at a young age.
C He was satisfied with solving the puzzles. D. He learned about it from his math teacher.
6. What might be one of the challenges faced by players at the WSC?
A. Speed and accuracy are needed for each puzzle. B. Every puzzle examines higher-order thinking.
C. Pencils are not allowed to fill in the squares. D. They have to stand up long to finish the game.
7. What can be inferred from Will Shortz’s words?
A. Sudoku is mainly genius-focused. B. Sudoku is just knowledge-based.
C. Sudoku is beneficial to logical reasoning. D. Sudoku is the basis of mental growth.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C

“I’d like to have your problem!” It is a common remark made to underweight people, who tend to awake more envy than sympathy. However, underweight people have just as much trouble putting on the pounds as overweight people have losing them — they are also related to health risks.
The problem of the underweight is that they are unwilling or unable to eat enough, or they eat like a horse but still do not gain weight. They have a fast metabolism (新陈代谢) and can eat whatever they want without putting on kilograms. People with a slow metabolism deposit most of the energy they take in with food as body fat. People with a fast metabolism burn this energy off, producing heat.
To someone who is overweight, a fast metabolism may seem desirable. But from a medical standpoint it is a problem. Being underweight is usually accompanied by a lack of basic nutrients and/ or trace elements. This increases the risk of developing disorders such as osteoporosis, weakens muscle function and slows the healing of wounds. Underweight people are often elderly, have little appetite or perhaps are no longer able to chew properly. People can also lose a lot of weight due to a serious disease or chemotherapy (化疗).
A potential health problem is also sometimes to blame. Even young, healthy people can be affected when they feel stressed out emotionally. A classic case is lovesickness. Your stomach feels as though tied up in knots, your nerves are shaky, and after two bites of food you are full. Before long, your body is running out of energy, and you either become sleepy or more nervous — in any case you eat even less and then enter a downward spiral (螺旋轨道). What will you do when your trousers get baggy, your eyes start to widen, your bones and teeth start to stick out, your energy level drops and your sensitiveness rises?
8. What message does Paragraph 1 convey?
A. Being thin is popular among the young. B. Being fat is dangerous for an elderly man.
C. Either being fat or thin can be a health risk. D. Losing weight is harder than gaining weight.
9. When are people more likely to be underweight?
A. When they have no teeth to chew. B. When they suffer from a big illness.
C. When they are addicted to their work. D. When they have a slow metabolism.
10. What is the writing style of the last paragraph?
A. Critical. B. Vivid. C. Abstract. D. Academic.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A Weight Matters To Health B. Mind Your Daily Diet
C. Fat Is A Risk Too D. Thin Is Not In
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述的是体重过轻带来的健康风险及挑战,分析其成因,并探讨如何通过合理的饮食和心理支持来改善体重不足的问题。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段““I’d like to have your problem!” It is a common remark made to underweight people, who tend to awake more envy than sympathy. However, underweight people have just as much trouble putting on the pounds as overweight people have losing them — they are also related to health risks.(“我想知道你的问题!”这是对体重过轻的人常说的一句话,他们往往会招来更多的嫉妒而不是同情。然而,体重过轻的人增重的困难和超重的人减重的困难是一样的——这也与健康风险有关)”可知,胖或瘦都有健康风险。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“People can also lose a lot of weight due to a serious disease or chemotherapy (化疗).(由于严重的疾病或化疗,人们也会减掉很多体重)”可知,当得了大病的时候,人们更容易体重过轻。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“A potential health problem is also sometimes to blame. Even young, healthy people can be affected when they feel stressed out emotionally. A classic case is lovesickness. Your stomach feels as though tied up in knots, your nerves are shaky, and after two bites of food you are full. Before long, your body is running out of energy, and you either become sleepy or more nervous — in any case you eat even less and then enter a downward spiral (螺旋轨道). What will you do when your trousers get baggy, your eyes start to widen, your bones and teeth start to stick out, your energy level drops and your sensitiveness rises?(潜在的健康问题有时也是罪魁祸首。即使是年轻健康的人在情绪紧张时也会受到影响。一个典型的例子是相思病。你的胃好像打结了,你的神经颤抖,吃了两口食物后你就饱了。不久之后,你的身体就会耗尽能量,你要么变得困倦,要么变得更加紧张——在任何情况下,你都吃得更少,然后进入一个恶性循环。当你的裤子变得松松垮垮,你的眼睛开始睁大,你的骨头和牙齿开始突出,你的能量水平下降,你的敏感度上升时,你会怎么办?)”可知,作者在描写“瘦”时,用许多生动形象的词语,如baggy,widen和stick out等,以达到“生动”的效果。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段““I’d like to have your problem!” It is a common remark made to underweight people, who tend to awake more envy than sympathy. However, underweight people have just as much trouble putting on the pounds as overweight people have losing them — they are also related to health risks.(“我想知道你的问题!”这是对体重过轻的人常说的一句话,他们往往会招来更多的嫉妒而不是同情。然而,体重过轻的人增重的困难和超重的人减重的困难是一样的——这也与健康风险有关)”以及纵观全文可知,本文主要讲述了偏瘦的人所面临的问题,包括他们难以增重以及与健康风险相关的内容,所以D项“瘦并不时髦”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。

Have you ever noticed that you can understand a sentence even if the words are jumbled up or disorganized? You can probably read this easily despite the misspellings. Scientists aren’t completely sure how our brains can read the sentence above, but they think one reason is that our brains analyze the con-text to guess what’s coming next. Research has revealed that when we hear a sound that leads us to expect another sound, the brain reacts as if we’ re already hearing that second sound.
This is similar to how the brain responds to an arrangement of letters or words. As our brain deciphers each word in the example above, it predicts which words will come next to make a sentence that makes sense. “We are always guessing what we will see, hear, or feel next,” says Dr. Lars Muckli, a researcher at the University of Glasgow. But, besides predicting what’s next, our brain also fills in any blanks based on the words that come after.
However, even if we read that mixed-up example easily, we might not have read every word right. We thought we did because we understood the sentence structure. But what if the first and last letters of the word are in place? Could we understand it better?
“It doesn’t matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only impotent thing is that the first and last letter be at the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole.”
According to Matt Davis, a senior researcher at Cambridge’s Cognition and Brain Science Unit, that’s not entirely true. “Clearly, the first and last letter is not the only thing that you use when reading text,” he writes. “If this really was the case, how would you tell the difference between pairs of words like ‘salt’ and ‘slat’?”
12. What function do scientists believe our brains have?
A. They may ignore unnecessary information.
B. They only focus on the first and last letters.
C. They can produce context-based outcome.
D. They can precisely see the future words.
13. What does the underlined word “deciphers” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Interprets. B. Spells. C. Memorizes. D. Pronounces.
14. What is the writing purpose of the fourth paragraph?
A. To demonstrate where the key words are. B. To introduce what elements a paragraph has.
C. To illustrate how the sentence structure matters. D. To show the way the brain processes the words.
15. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Why the brain can read mixed-up letters. B. What messy letters mean to the readers.
C. How random letters can form meanings. D. What if the brain cannot process the sound.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章通过实例和科学研究解释了人类大脑如何理解和处理语言中的信息,特别是当单词或句子的顺序被打乱时,大脑如何仍然能够理解其意义。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Have you ever noticed that you can understand a sentence even if the words are jumbled up or disorganized? You can probably read this easily despite the misspellings. Scientists aren’t completely sure how our brains can read the sentence above, but they think one reason is that our brains analyze the con- text to guess what’s coming next. Research has revealed that when we hear a sound that leads us to expect another sound, the brain reacts as if we’ re already hearing that second sound. (你有没有注意到,你可以理解一个句子,即使单词是混乱的或杂乱无章的?尽管有拼写错误,但你可能很容易读懂这篇文章。科学家们并不完全确定我们的大脑是如何阅读上面的句子的,但他们认为其中一个原因是我们的大脑通过分析上下文来猜测接下来会发生什么。研究表明,当我们听到一个让我们期待另一个声音的声音时,大脑的反应就好像我们已经听到了第二个声音。)”可知,科学家认为我们的大脑可以产生基于上下文的结果。故选C项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据后文“it predicts which words will come next to make a sentence that makes sense. (它会预测接下来会出现哪些单词来组成一个有意义的句子。)”可知,大脑会预测接下来的单词,所以应是在破译前文的时,然后预测下文,所以推知deciphers应是“破译”之意,和A项意思相近。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““It doesn’t matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only impotent thing is that the first and last letter be at the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole.” (“单词中字母的顺序如何并不重要,唯一重要的是第一个和最后一个字母的位置是否正确。剩下的部分可能是一团糟,但你仍然可以毫无问题地阅读它。这是因为人类的大脑不是单独阅读每个字母,而是将单词作为一个整体来阅读。”)”可知,本段的目的是为了说明句子结构的重要性。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Have you ever noticed that you can understand a sentence even if the words are jumbled up or disorganized? You can probably read this easily despite the misspellings.

There is something about sharing food outdoors in fine weather that makes a meal taste more delicious than when it’s eaten at home. The downside of modern-day picnics, however, is the plastic waste they tend to generate. ___16___
Put food in reusable containers. Pack homemade food as you’d put it in the fridge for storage; using reusable containers with lids. Please note the emphasis on homemade. ___17___ Apparently, you can even transport ice cream in them, though I haven’t tried it myself. But keep in mind that you don’t have to prepack everything.
___18___ I like to put ice cubes into a stainless steel food storage container and use that as an ice pack in my cooler. That way, it serves a double purpose — keeping food cold and providing ice for drinks. For longer trips, I will freeze a block of ice in a sealed container and use that to keep things cold.
Take a cloth tablecloth. ___19___ Instead, just bring along a cloth one to spread on a picnic table or on the ground. It makes the whole dining experience far more pleasant and it is easy to wash in your next load of laundry.
Put cloth bags to good use. Cloth drawstring bags are amazing. They’re perfect for packing sandwiches, wraps, nuts, dried or whole fruit, and other snack foods. ___20___ They can function as an emergency napkin, tea towel, or (dry) trash bag if needed. Be sure to add a few to your picnic basket.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了肯尼亚斯特拉斯莫尔大学学生安德鲁・孔德如何因武术电影启发而学习功夫,并成为大学武术俱乐部主席,同时介绍了功夫在肯尼亚的流行及其原因。
【36题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:起初作为一种爱好,现在已经成为Konde的一种生活方式。Konde目前是该校泰坦武术俱乐部的主席。“______ began as a hobby”在句中作主语,从句中缺少主语,表示“所…… 的事物”,用What引导。首字母大写。故填What。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:起初作为一种爱好,现在已经成为Konde的一种生活方式。Konde目前是该校泰坦武术俱乐部的主席。空处修饰空前的句子,用副词修饰。故填currently。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:作为一个孩子,Konde对成龙等武术传奇人物的技巧印象深刻。根据时间状语As a child可知是描述过去的情况,be impressed with是固定短语,意为“对…… 印象深刻”,主语Konde是单数,且为一般过去时。故填was impressed。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:2022年,当他进入斯特拉斯莫尔大学时,他加入了武术俱乐部,对功夫的热情增加了。先行词是2022,在从句“______ he went to Strathmore University”中作时间状语,所以用关系副词when引导。故填when。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:通过努力工作,他迅速晋升为俱乐部主席,带领他的球队在全国武术锦标赛中获胜,包括在2023年的全非洲大学运动会中获得第二名。lead的逻辑主语是he,二者之间是主动关系,且此处表示伴随的动作,所以用现在分词leading作状语。故填leading。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意:通过努力工作,他迅速晋升为俱乐部主席,带领他的球队在全国武术锦标赛中获胜,包括在2023年的全非洲大学运动会中获得第二名。“second-place finish”泛指“一个第二名的成绩”,second首字母的发音为辅音音素。故填a。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:功夫起源于中国,是中国传统文化的重要组成部分,在肯尼亚越来越受欢迎,尤其是在学龄儿童中。本句是which引导的定语从句,be动词作从句谓语,描述客观事实,用一般现在时,主语which代指Kung fu是单数。故填is。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:功夫起源于中国,是中国传统文化的重要组成部分,在肯尼亚越来越受欢迎,尤其是在学龄儿童中。空前是介词,所以空处应填名词作宾语,popular的名词形式是popularity。故填popularity。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他们被它所吸引,因为它能让他们保持健康,也能让他们学到自卫和自律。此处是固定搭配:the ability to do sth.意为“做某事的能力”。故填to keep。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:斯特拉斯莫尔大学的功夫教练凯文·奥博尼奥表示,非洲各地对功夫的热情与日俱增,这是由于中非关系的加强,而中非合作论坛和“一带一路”倡议等举措加深了中非关系。deepen的逻辑主语是China-Africa relations,二者之间是被动关系,且此处是作后置定语修饰China-Africa relations,所以用过去分词deepened。故填deepened。

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。
Alex and Eric, two high school seniors filled with a thirst for adventure, decided to kick off a hiking trip through the rough mountains surrounding their small town. Equipped with basic supplies and a spirit of adventure, they set out early one morning, eager to explore the unknown.
The sun shone brightly as they climbed higher, the air growing thinner with each step. The scenery was breathtaking — bushy forests gave way to rocky cliffs (悬崖), and the sound of rushing water echoed through the valleys. But as the day wore on, the weather began to turn. Dark clouds gathered on the horizon, and a chill wind picked up.
“Alex do you think we should turn back?” Eric asked, his voice full of concern.
Alex hesitated, staring at the sky. “It might pass, but we should be prepared. Let’s find shelter first.”
They pressed on, eventually running across a small cave hidden among the rocks. Inside, they huddled (依偎) together, sharing their limited supplies and waiting for the storm to pass. The hours ticked by, and the rain pounded constantly outside.
“I never imagined it would be like this,” Eric whispered, his teeth chattering (格格作响).
Alex put an arm around him. “Life’s not always smooth sailing, Eric. But we’ll get through this together.”
As the night approached, their willpower strengthened. They talked about their dreams, fears, and the lessons they had learned so far. The storm outside seemed to mirror the challenges they faced in life, testing their limits and deepening their bond.
Finally, as dawn broke, the rain stopped. Alex and Eric emerged from the cave, their clothes damp but their spirits high. The mountain air was agreeable and clean, and the view from the mountain top was amazing.
“We made it,” Eric said, smiling through tears of relief and joy.
Alex nodded, his eyes fixed on the horizon. “And we’ll make it through whatever comes next, too.”

【答案】参考范文:
Paragraph 1:
Climbing down the mountain, they encountered a fork (岔路口) in the path. One way led back to civilization, while the other was unknown, clouded in mist. “Which way should we go?” Eric asked, uncertainty creeping into his voice. Alex paused for a while, considering their options. “Let’s take the unknown path. It might lead to something amazing, or it might be a dead end. But either way, it’s an adventure worth having.” With renewed determination, they set off down the misty trail. The journey was treacherous, with slippery rocks and hidden obstacles at every turn. But they navigated it together, supporting each other every step of the way.
As they emerged from the mist, they found themselves standing at the edge of a vast grassland. It was dotted with wildflowers and surrounded by rolling hills. The sun was shining, and a gentle breeze carried the scent of freshly bloomed flowers. “Look at this,” Eric breathed, his eyes wide with wonder. Alex smiled, feeling a sense of accomplishment and gratitude. “Life may not always be easy, but it’s full of surprises and beauty if we’re brave enough to explore. Today, we faced challenges and overcame them together. That’s what makes this journey — and life itself — so special.” As they continued their adventure, Alex and Eric knew that they had learned a valuable lesson: no matter what obstacles lay ahead, as long as they faced them with courage, resilience, and mutual support, there was no challenge they couldn’t conquer.
