Claude Monet had planned to display his paintings of the river Thames at a London exhibition in 1905. However, weeks before the show opened, the artist postponed it.
Nearly 120 years later, it is finally coming together: London’s Courtauld Gallery has reunited many of the original pieces. The show, “Monet and London: Views of the Thames”, will open soon.
Between 1899 and 1901, Monet created 94 pieces featuring the Thames over the course of three trips to London. These works showed the Charing Cross Bridge, the Waterloo Bridge and the Houses of Parliament at different times of day and in various weather conditions. “Some of Monet’s most remarkable impressionist paintings were made not in France but in London,” said the Courtauld Gallery in a statement. “They show extraordinary views of the Thames by using special methods for the first time.”
In 1904, Monet presented 37 of his Thames paintings at a show in Paris, where they were a big hit. Building on this success, the artist started organizing an exhibition at Dowdeswell’s, a London gallery on New Bond Street. “I have always wanted to show my Londons here, for my own satisfaction,” the artist wrote in a letter during a trip to England in 1904. But just months after the show’s announcement, Monet delayed it indefinitely because he thought they were not good.
Monet had a reputation for feeling unhappy with his final pieces — even when they received extensive praise. He once said, “I know that if they are exhibited, they’ll be a great success, but I couldn’t be more indifferent to it since I know they are bad.”
Despite Monet’s reservations about his Thames pieces, the works have only grown more popular — some fetching astonishing sums at auction (拍卖). In 2022, Le Parlement, soleil couchant (Houses of Parliament, Sunset) sold for $76 million at Christie’s. This work will be on view in the upcoming show, which will include 19 of Monet’s 37 original Thames paintings displayed in Paris.
24. What did Monet’s 94 paintings focus on?
A. His activities at different times of a day. B. His typical feelings of trips to London.
C. London’s various weather conditions. D. The unique sights of the Thames.
25. How did Monet feel about his Paris painting show in 1904?
A. Surprised. B. Satisfied. C. Disappointed. D. Puzzled.
26. Which statement would Monet probably agree with?
A. It’s never too old to learn. B. Failure is the mother of success.
C. We should run after perfection. D. Everything comes to those who wait.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To encourage people to take up art. B. To explain a cultural phenomenon.
C. To recommend some famous paintings. D. To introduce a long-awaited exhibition.

In today’s digital landscape, AI (artificial intelligence) influencers have become a cornerstone of brand promotion and content creation. These virtual personalities, with their ability to engage and connect with audiences, have amassed (聚集) significant followers, making the lines between reality and the digital world become unclear.
AI influencers are the love child of brilliant tech minds. They’re computer-generated characters driven by AI algorithms (运算), which have the ability to interact with users, share content, and promote products. They’ re reshaping the world of online engagement as they’ re rapidly gaining popularity and offering exciting opportunities for brands. Aitana Lopez is a young model from Barcelona. Notably, Aitana Lopez is entirely AI-generated, which is evident in the initials of her first name (AI). Recognized for her distinctive pink hair and interest in video games and fitness, she’s among the top AI influencers on the Internet, with an impressive following of over 250,000, generating a monthly income of more than 11,000 dollars.
What makes them so appealing when they convincingly connect with real people? They act really like humans, which is achieved through cutting-edge technologies like deep-machine learning and natural language processing. However, in spite of their lifelike appearances, you can look for certain signs to try to figure out if you’ re talking to an AI or a real influencer on social media. If their responses are extremely repetitive, and so generalized, chances are that your influencer is not a real person. However, keep in mind that some are designed to copy human behavior, so it can be quite challenging to tell the difference.
AI influencers are not just a passing trend. Their growing popularity is an evident sign that we are steadily moving towards a data-informed, digitally creative future where it’s hard to see the lines between humans and AI influencers. Therefore, given the complexity and evolving nature of this topic, carrying out strict rules officially is crucial to ensure content authenticity (真实) and moral integrity.
28. Why does the author mention Aitana Lopez?
A. To illustrate a viewpoint. B. To draw a comparison.
C. To highlight a problem. D. To make a prediction.
29. How can one tell AI influencers from real ones on social media?
A. By observing their realistic appearances. B. By assessing how they answer questions.
C. By testing their advanced technologies. D. By comparing their engagement with brands.
30. What’s the author’s opinion about AI influencers?
A. They’re short-lived. B. They may replace human influencers.
C. They’re always beneficial. D. They should be legally restricted.
31. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Are AI Influencers Your Choice? B. Shall We Depend on AI Influencers?
C. Do You Really Understand AI Influencers? D. Can AI Influencers Beat Real Influencers?
D
The Elysian E9X is a 90-seater plane that can one day travel up to 1,000 km - and it’s related to research that claims our previous assumptions on battery-electric aircraft were wrong.
The Dutch company Elysian has released its design for a fully electric passenger plane that can seat up to 90 passengers, with plans to launch it within the next 10 years. The E9X is a battery-powered plane that can fly up to 800 kilometers on a single charge based on a theoretical battery pack of 360 watt-hours(Wh) per kilogram (kg) - the standard measure of battery density (密度). Meanwhile, a Tesla battery has a density of between 272 and 296 Wh/ kg according to Inside EVs. With future improvements, Elysian hopes to boost the plane’s range up to 1,000 km.
Elysian and researchers at the Delft University of Technology have reconsidered assumptions around existing battery technology. Most literature suggests battery-electric aircraft are only feasible for shorter-range trips of up to 400 km with up to 19 passengers on board. As a result, most real-world efforts have focused on designing regional or intercity electric aircraft. These widely used assumptions likely come from much earlier expectations and technological limitations.
Researchers claim that with the development of battery technology, larger aircraft can house denser batteries. Meeting the design specifications, however, can’t be done with commercially available technology; it would depend on breakthroughs in battery energy density, weight, and efficiency to achieve such ambitious goals. Meanwhile, expanding the battery’s production and further improving its density remain crucial for its widespread adoption.
The E9X has an energy consumption of 167 Wh per passenger-kilometer, meaning it takes 167 watt-hours to fly each passenger a kilometer. This equals an environmental impact that’s well below what electro-fuelled sustainable aviation (航空) fuel (eSAF), or hydrogen-based alternatives do. This is comparable to land-based modes of transport, such as today’s electric cars.
32. What does the author expect to do by talking about Tesla batteries?
A. Highlight the E9X’s higher battery density. B. Illustrate their fast development.
C. Indicate their possible dangers. D. Show Tesla’s bond with Elysian.
33. What does the underlined word “feasible” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Affordable. B. Flexible. C. Suitable. D. Comfortable.
34. What does the E9X depend on to house denser batteries?
A. Its actual widespread adoption. B. Advances in battery technology.
C. Elysian’s massive production. D. Its detailed design specifications.
35. Which of the following best describes the E9X?
A. It’s eco-friendly. B. It’s cost-effective.
C. It’s labor-saving. D. It’s time-consuming.

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。
What can parents and teachers do to support positive creative growth in children and students? Here are some simple guidelines.
Support a growth mindset. With a growth mindset, children believe they can improve their creative abilities through effort. To help kids have that growth mindset, we need to acknowledge effort rather than only outcome. For example, if they write a story, sing high praise for some well-written details about the character, the setting, or the thoughtful choice of words. ____36____.
Listen for creative micro-moments. Micro-moments refer to brief, surprising moments of creative potential that emerge in everyday routines, habits, and planned experiences. ____37____, or interrupting to say something off-topic. What’s important is not to simply dismiss students, but rather take a beat and listen. When a student comes up with something unexpected, you might stop him or her immediately, worrying that it will take too much time to explore. ____38____. If you take a minute, then you might discover an idea that contributes to others’ understanding, including your own.
____39____. While it’s logical to assume that rewards are motivating, they cannot be always beneficial to creativity. Some experts say that certain kinds of rewards— like getting candy for practicing the piano— could actually demotivate kids from being creative. ____40____. For example, if you have a child who loves to draw and you get him or her a really nice set of colored pencils, you’ re rewarding his or her interest and efforts, which does good to his or her creativity.
A. Rewards are everything
B. Don’t take this silly action
C. Be mindful of activities you use to reward
D. Encourage new experiences and learn from rewards
E. They might take the form of a student solving a problem differently
F. But if a reward is related to competence in that area, that is quite different
G. This way, you help them improve their observational skills or vivid imagination

Mia, 44, had a great start to the day. For the first time in years, she had a good night’s sleep.
Her husband and son had gone skiing. While they were on a “man-to-man” vacation the mother could enjoy her freedom. She could do whatever she wanted for a week. “I’ll take a nap (小睡) before I eat,” Mia thought. She turned around and closed her eyes again.
However, a few minutes later, she woke up to a strange sound. “What’s that?” thought Mia. But when the sound stopped, she turned around again. “It’s probably something outside.” She turned back to the other side of the bed. She heard the sound again. She was sure then that the sound was close. She listened. “It’s coming from the window!” she said after focusing on the sound for a bit. She got out of bed and approached the window. Pulling the curtain aside, she couldn’t believe what she saw.
There were two little squirrels (松鼠) sleeping in a nest. The sounds were coming from here. The curtain in the room had been closed for the past few weeks, so she hadn’t noticed the lovely animals were making a nest here. “I have to get this on camera,” she thought eagerly. She immediately took her camera and took pictures of the cute squirrels. She couldn’t believe her luck. The two baby squirrels hugged each other inside the nest. Mia could tell how peaceful the little animals felt. The window wouldn’t open, or she would have touched them and injured their heads.
“Their mother must have left them alone to look for food,” she thought, trying to get the perfect picture from different angles. Actually, she wanted to take a clear picture of their cute, sleepy faces. However, she got the shock of her life when she brought the camera closer to the squirrels. She saw an eagle staying on a tree opposite, looking at the little squirrels hungrily.
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。
Seeing this, Mia started to shake.

M: I have an old friend named Joseph who is retired and then he started studying French at the age of sixty-five and he’s mastered it well.
W: Oh, really?
M: Yeah. He’s now living in Paris. He’s made many French friends.
W: Why did he start it so late?
M: He has been interested in French culture, but when he was young, he worked in Tokyo and had no time to learn it. So after he retired, he came back to London and began to learn French.
W: Well, I see.
M: So I think learning a language has a lot to do with your motivation and interest because you can start learning later in life and you succeed.
W: So you don’t think age matters when we learn a language, do you?
M: No, I don’t think so.

Claude Monet had planned to display his paintings of the river Thames at a London exhibition in 1905. However, weeks before the show opened, the artist postponed it.
Nearly 120 years later, it is finally coming together: London’s Courtauld Gallery has reunited many of the original pieces. The show, “Monet and London: Views of the Thames”, will open soon.
Between 1899 and 1901, Monet created 94 pieces featuring the Thames over the course of three trips to London. These works showed the Charing Cross Bridge, the Waterloo Bridge and the Houses of Parliament at different times of day and in various weather conditions. “Some of Monet’s most remarkable impressionist paintings were made not in France but in London,” said the Courtauld Gallery in a statement. “They show extraordinary views of the Thames by using special methods for the first time.”
In 1904, Monet presented 37 of his Thames paintings at a show in Paris, where they were a big hit. Building on this success, the artist started organizing an exhibition at Dowdeswell’s, a London gallery on New Bond Street. “I have always wanted to show my Londons here, for my own satisfaction,” the artist wrote in a letter during a trip to England in 1904. But just months after the show’s announcement, Monet delayed it indefinitely because he thought they were not good.
Monet had a reputation for feeling unhappy with his final pieces — even when they received extensive praise. He once said, “I know that if they are exhibited, they’ll be a great success, but I couldn’t be more indifferent to it since I know they are bad.”
Despite Monet’s reservations about his Thames pieces, the works have only grown more popular — some fetching astonishing sums at auction (拍卖). In 2022, Le Parlement, soleil couchant (Houses of Parliament, Sunset) sold for $76 million at Christie’s. This work will be on view in the upcoming show, which will include 19 of Monet’s 37 original Thames paintings displayed in Paris.
24. What did Monet’s 94 paintings focus on?
A. His activities at different times of a day. B. His typical feelings of trips to London.
C. London’s various weather conditions. D. The unique sights of the Thames.
25. How did Monet feel about his Paris painting show in 1904?
A. Surprised. B. Satisfied. C. Disappointed. D. Puzzled.
26. Which statement would Monet probably agree with?
A. It’s never too old to learn. B. Failure is the mother of success.
C. We should run after perfection. D. Everything comes to those who wait.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A To encourage people to take up art. B. To explain a cultural phenomenon.
C. To recommend some famous paintings. D. To introduce a long-awaited exhibition.
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. D
【解析】

In today’s digital landscape, AI (artificial intelligence) influencers have become a cornerstone of brand promotion and content creation. These virtual personalities, with their ability to engage and connect with audiences, have amassed (聚集) significant followers, making the lines between reality and the digital world become unclear.
AI influencers are the love child of brilliant tech minds. They’re computer-generated characters driven by AI algorithms (运算), which have the ability to interact with users, share content, and promote products. They’ re reshaping the world of online engagement as they’ re rapidly gaining popularity and offering exciting opportunities for brands. Aitana Lopez is a young model from Barcelona. Notably, Aitana Lopez is entirely AI-generated, which is evident in the initials of her first name (AI). Recognized for her distinctive pink hair and interest in video games and fitness, she’s among the top AI influencers on the Internet, with an impressive following of over 250,000, generating a monthly income of more than 11,000 dollars.
What makes them so appealing when they convincingly connect with real people? They act really like humans, which is achieved through cutting-edge technologies like deep-machine learning and natural language processing. However, in spite of their lifelike appearances, you can look for certain signs to try to figure out if you’ re talking to an AI or a real influencer on social media. If their responses are extremely repetitive, and so generalized, chances are that your influencer is not a real person. However, keep in mind that some are designed to copy human behavior, so it can be quite challenging to tell the difference.
AI influencers are not just a passing trend. Their growing popularity is an evident sign that we are steadily moving towards a data-informed, digitally creative future where it’s hard to see the lines between humans and AI influencers. Therefore, given the complexity and evolving nature of this topic, carrying out strict rules officially is crucial to ensure content authenticity (真实) and moral integrity.
28. Why does the author mention Aitana Lopez?
A. To illustrate a viewpoint. B. To draw a comparison.
C. To highlight a problem. D. To make a prediction.
29 How can one tell AI influencers from real ones on social media?
A. By observing their realistic appearances. B. By assessing how they answer questions.
C. By testing their advanced technologies. D. By comparing their engagement with brands.
30. What’s the author’s opinion about AI influencers?
A. They’re short-lived. B. They may replace human influencers.
C. They’re always beneficial. D. They should be legally restricted.
31. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Are AI Influencers Your Choice? B. Shall We Depend on AI Influencers?
C. Do You Really Understand AI Influencers? D. Can AI Influencers Beat Real Influencers?
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. C
【解析】

D
The Elysian E9X is a 90-seater plane that can one day travel up to 1,000 km - and it’s related to research that claims our previous assumptions on battery-electric aircraft were wrong.
The Dutch company Elysian has released its design for a fully electric passenger plane that can seat up to 90 passengers, with plans to launch it within the next 10 years. The E9X is a battery-powered plane that can fly up to 800 kilometers on a single charge based on a theoretical battery pack of 360 watt-hours(Wh) per kilogram (kg) - the standard measure of battery density (密度). Meanwhile, a Tesla battery has a density of between 272 and 296 Wh/ kg according to Inside EVs. With future improvements, Elysian hopes to boost the plane’s range up to 1,000 km.
Elysian and researchers at the Delft University of Technology have reconsidered assumptions around existing battery technology. Most literature suggests battery-electric aircraft are only feasible for shorter-range trips of up to 400 km with up to 19 passengers on board. As a result, most real-world efforts have focused on designing regional or intercity electric aircraft. These widely used assumptions likely come from much earlier expectations and technological limitations.
Researchers claim that with the development of battery technology, larger aircraft can house denser batteries. Meeting the design specifications, however, can’t be done with commercially available technology; it would depend on breakthroughs in battery energy density, weight, and efficiency to achieve such ambitious goals. Meanwhile, expanding the battery’s production and further improving its density remain crucial for its widespread adoption.
The E9X has an energy consumption of 167 Wh per passenger-kilometer, meaning it takes 167 watt-hours to fly each passenger a kilometer. This equals an environmental impact that’s well below what electro-fuelled sustainable aviation (航空) fuel (eSAF), or hydrogen-based alternatives do. This is comparable to land-based modes of transport, such as today’s electric cars.
32. What does the author expect to do by talking about Tesla batteries?
A. Highlight the E9X’s higher battery density. B. Illustrate their fast development.
C. Indicate their possible dangers. D. Show Tesla’s bond with Elysian.
33. What does the underlined word “feasible” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Affordable. B. Flexible. C. Suitable. D. Comfortable.
34. What does the E9X depend on to house denser batteries?
A. Its actual widespread adoption. B. Advances in battery technology.
C. Elysian’s massive production. D. Its detailed design specifications.
35. Which of the following best describes the E9X?
A. It’s eco-friendly. B. It’s cost-effective.
C. It’s labor-saving. D. It’s time-consuming.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。主要说明了Elysian公司公布了一款可容纳90名乘客的全电动客机的设计,并计划在未来10年内推出这种客机。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The E9X is a battery-powered plane that can fly up to 800 kilometers on a single charge based on a theoretical battery pack of 360 watt-hours(Wh) per kilogram (kg) - the standard measure of battery density (密度). Meanwhile, a Tesla battery has a density of between 272 and 296 Wh/ kg according to Inside EVs. ( E9X是一架电池驱动的飞机,基于每公斤(kg) 360瓦时(Wh)的理论电池组(电池密度的标准衡量标准),一次充电可以飞行800公里。同时,根据Inside EVs的数据,特斯拉电池的密度在272到296 Wh/ kg之间。)”可知,作者谈论特斯拉电池的目的是突出E9X更高的电池密度。故选A。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“The Elysian E9X is a 90-seater plane that can one day travel up to 1,000 km - and it’s related to research that claims our previous assumptions on battery-electric aircraft were wrong. (Elysian E9X是一架90座的飞机,有一天可以飞行1000公里——这与我们之前对电池电动飞机的假设是错误的研究有关。)”以及划线词后文“for shorter-range trips of up to 400 km with up to 19 passengers on board (400公里以内的短途旅行,最多可搭载19名乘客)”可知,Elysian E9X是一架90座的飞机,有一天可以飞行1000公里,而拥有现有电池技术的电池电动飞机只适用于400公里以内的短途旅行,最多可搭载19名乘客。故划线词意思是“合适的”。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Researchers claim that with the development of battery technology, larger aircraft can house denser batteries. Meeting the design specifications, however, can’t be done with commercially available technology; it would depend on breakthroughs in battery energy density, weight, and efficiency to achieve such ambitious goals. (研究人员声称,随着电池技术的发展,更大的飞机可以容纳更密集的电池。然而,满足设计规范是无法用商业技术实现的;要实现这一雄心勃勃的目标,将取决于电池能量密度、重量和效率方面的突破。)”可知,E9X要真正投入使用,依赖的是电池技术的提升。故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The E9X has an energy consumption of 167 Wh per passenger-kilometer, meaning it takes 167 watt-hours to fly each passenger a kilometer. This equals an environmental impact that’s well below what electro-fuelled sustainable aviation (航空) fuel (eSAF), or hydrogen-based alternatives do. ( E9X每乘客每公里的能耗为167瓦时,这意味着每名乘客飞行一公里需要167瓦时。这相当于对环境的影响远远低于电动可持续航空燃料(eSAF)或氢基替代品。)”可知,该飞机是环境友好型的。故选A。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。
What can parents and teachers do to support positive creative growth in children and students? Here are some simple guidelines.
Support a growth mindset. With a growth mindset, children believe they can improve their creative abilities through effort. To help kids have that growth mindset, we need to acknowledge effort rather than only outcome. For example, if they write a story, sing high praise for some well-written details about the character, the setting, or the thoughtful choice of words. ____36____.
Listen for creative micro-moments. Micro-moments refer to brief, surprising moments of creative potential that emerge in everyday routines, habits, and planned experiences. ____37____, or interrupting to say something off-topic. What’s important is not to simply dismiss students, but rather take a beat and listen. When a student comes up with something unexpected, you might stop him or her immediately, worrying that it will take too much time to explore. ____38____. If you take a minute, then you might discover an idea that contributes to others’ understanding, including your own.
____39____. While it’s logical to assume that rewards are motivating, they cannot be always beneficial to creativity. Some experts say that certain kinds of rewards— like getting candy for practicing the piano— could actually demotivate kids from being creative. ____40____. For example, if you have a child who loves to draw and you get him or her a really nice set of colored pencils, you’ re rewarding his or her interest and efforts, which does good to his or her creativity.
A. Rewards are everything
B. Don’t take this silly action
C. Be mindful of activities you use to reward
D. Encourage new experiences and learn from rewards
E. They might take the form of a student solving a problem differently
F. But if a reward is related to competence in that area, that is quite different
G. This way, you help them improve their observational skills or vivid imagination
【答案】36. G 37. E 38. B 39. C 40. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了作为父母或老师应该如何保护和激发孩子的创造力。
【36题详解】
根据空格前的句子“For example, if they write a story, sing high praise for some well-written details about the character, the setting, or the thoughtful choice of words.(例如,如果他们写了一个故事,对一些写得很好的人物细节、背景或深思熟虑的用词给予高度赞扬。)”可知,此处讲述了如何表扬孩子的长处,所以G项“This way, you help them improve their observational skills or vivid imagination(这样,你可以帮助他们提高观察能力或丰富的想象力)”填入空格处,承接上文,讲述赞扬孩子写作的好处,故填G项。
【37题详解】
根据空格前的句子“Listen for creative micro-moments. Micro-moments refer to brief, surprising moments of creative potential that emerge in everyday routines, habits, and planned experiences.(倾听创造性的微瞬间。微瞬间指的是在日常生活、习惯和计划中的经历中出现的短暂、令人惊讶的创造潜力时刻。)”和空格后的部分“or interrupting to say something off-topic(或者打断别人说一些跑题的话)”可知,空格处的句子应该是和空格后的“or interrupting to say something off-topic”并列,说明微瞬间呈现的形式,所以E项“They might take the form of a student solving a problem differently(他们可能是学生以不同的方式解决问题的形式)”填入空格处,符合语境。故选E项。
【38题详解】
根据空格前的句子“When a student comes up with something unexpected, you might stop him or her immediately, worrying that it will take too much time to explore.(当一个学生想出一些意想不到的东西时,你可能会立即阻止他或她,担心这会花费太多时间去探索。)”和空格后的句子“If you take a minute, then you might discover an idea that contributes to others’ understanding, including your own.(如果你花一分钟,那么你可能会发现一个有助于别人理解的想法,包括你自己。)”可知,当一个学生想出一些意想不到的东西时,立即阻止他或她是不可取的,空格处的句子应该是否定阻止的行为,所以,B项“Don’t take this silly action(不要采取这种愚蠢的行动)”填入空格处,符合语境。故选B项。
【39题详解】
空格处是该段的主题句。根据下文的句子“While it’s logical to assume that rewards are motivating, they cannot be always beneficial to creativity. Some experts say that certain kinds of rewards— like getting candy for practicing the piano— could actually demotivate kids from being creative.(虽然假设奖励具有激励作用是合乎逻辑的,但它们并不总是有利于创造力。一些专家说,某些类型的奖励——比如练习钢琴得到糖果——实际上可能会使孩子失去创造力。)”和“For example, if you have a child who loves to draw and you get him or her a really nice set of colored pencils, you’ re rewarding his or her interest and efforts, which does good to his or her creativity.(例如,如果你有一个喜欢画画的孩子,你给他或她一套非常好的彩色铅笔,你是在奖励他或她的兴趣和努力,这对他或她的创造力有好处。)”可知,给孩子的奖励如果不合适,可能对孩子的创造力没有好处,所以,要注意给孩子的奖励,C项“Be mindful of activities you use to reward (注意你用来奖励的活动。)”填入空格处,符合语境。故选C项。
【40题详解】
根据下文的例子“For example, if you have a child who loves to draw and you get him or her a really nice set of colored pencils, you’ re rewarding his or her interest and efforts, which does good to his or her creativity.(例如,如果你有一个喜欢画画的孩子,你给他或她一套非常好的彩色铅笔,你是在奖励他或她的兴趣和努力,这对他或她的创造力有好处。)”可知,空格处的句子应该涉及到奖励与孩子的兴趣或努力有关,所以,F项“But if a reward is related to competence in that area, that is quite different(但如果奖励与该领域的能力有关,那就完全不同了)”填入空格处,符合语境。故选F项。

Mia, 44, had a great start to the day. For the first time in years, she had a good night’s sleep.
Her husband and son had gone skiing. While they were on a “man-to-man” vacation, the mother could enjoy her freedom. She could do whatever she wanted for a week. “I’ll take a nap (小睡) before I eat,” Mia thought. She turned around and closed her eyes again.
However, a few minutes later, she woke up to a strange sound. “What’s that?” thought Mia. But when the sound stopped, she turned around again. “It’s probably something outside.” She turned back to the other side of the bed. She heard the sound again. She was sure then that the sound was close. She listened. “It’s coming from the window!” she said after focusing on the sound for a bit. She got out of bed and approached the window. Pulling the curtain aside, she couldn’t believe what she saw.
There were two little squirrels (松鼠) sleeping in a nest. The sounds were coming from here. The curtain in the room had been closed for the past few weeks, so she hadn’t noticed the lovely animals were making a nest here. “I have to get this on camera,” she thought eagerly. She immediately took her camera and took pictures of the cute squirrels. She couldn’t believe her luck. The two baby squirrels hugged each other inside the nest. Mia could tell how peaceful the little animals felt. The window wouldn’t open, or she would have touched them and injured their heads.
“Their mother must have left them alone to look for food,” she thought, trying to get the perfect picture from different angles. Actually, she wanted to take a clear picture of their cute, sleepy faces. However, she got the shock of her life when she brought the camera closer to the squirrels. She saw an eagle staying on a tree opposite, looking at the little squirrels hungrily.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Seeing this, Mia started to shake. Apparently, it was really a hungry eagle there. Her face went pale. She had never encountered such a situation before, and the sudden realization sent a wave of panic through her. “Why does this happen to me when my family is not at home?” she thought. “I need to call them before it’s too late.” She ran to her phone and called her husband. Mia explained the situation to her husband, who replied without hesitation, “Call the firefighters now!” Mia did so quickly.
Horribly, the eagle began attacking the nest while Mia waited for the firefighters. Mia stood by the window, not taking her eyes off the eagle, and kept waving her two hands hard to frighten the eagle away and shouted at it, “Don’t attempt to kill the squirrels. They are staying in my house, not in your house.” Ignoring Mia’s warnings, the eagle attacked the squirrels once again. Mia was in despair. Just then, the firefighters arrived, driving the eagle away in a friendly way. Finally, the baby squirrels were reunited with the mother squirrel. Thanks to Mia’s attention, her guests were saved.
