B On a sunny Saturday morning last spring, I stepped into my backyard, ready to embrace the day. The air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers, and the rich colors of flowers painted a beautiful landscape. As I looked around, I noticed my neighbor, Mrs. Jenkins, tending to her garden. She appeared completely involved in her work, singing a tune while cutting her plants. Gardening has been my escape from the chaos of everyday life. With each seed I plant, I feel a sense of hope and anticipation for what’s to come. Last year had been particularly challenging; the long hours at work and the stress of daily responsibilities left me feeling exhausted. I needed an outlet, something to reactivate my passion and joy. That’s when I decided to transform my neglected backyard into a flourishing garden. Armed with enthusiasm and a few gardening books, I started my journey. The first few weeks were tough; my hands were painful, and the weeds seemed to return faster than I could pull them out. However, with every little sprout (发芽) that came through the soil, I felt a renewed sense of purpose. I remember the thrill of seeing my first tomatoes ripen. It was a small victory that brought me great joy. As the seasons changed, so did I. Gardening became a weekly routine. Every Saturday, I would spend hours outside, nurturing (培育) my plants and bathing in the sun. I discovered a community of fellow gardeners in my neighborhood, and we began exchanging tips and sharing produce. This interaction energized me even more, as I learned that many of us were using gardening as a way to cope with our personal struggles. During one particularly delightful garden gathering, we shared laughter and stories, united by our love for plants. Holding hands as we admired each other’s blooms, I realized that our gardens were more than just patches of soil; they were symbols of resilience (坚强) and growth. While gardening won’t solve all my problems, it has certainly brought an overwhelming sense of peace and satisfaction into my life. As I look forward to another gardening season, I am excited to continue this journey of growth, both in my garden and within myself. 34 What is the purpose of talking about Mrs. Jenkins’ Garden in the first paragraph? A. To highlight the author’s jealousy of Mrs. Jenkins’ gardening skills. B. To introduce another character of the story, Mrs. Jenkins, and her garden. C. To contrast between the author’s neglected backyard and Mrs. Jenkins’ well-maintained garden. D. To engage the topic and provide a personal connection for the author’s gardening journey. 35. How did the author feel during the first few weeks of her gardening journey? A. She found it satisfied and accomplished. B. She felt extremely frustrated and discouraged. C. She experienced challenges but motivated. D. She found it uninterested and ready to quit. 36. What change has gardening brought about in the author? A. She feels more connected to her community. B. She has become an expert gardener. C. She is more competitive in her career. D. She spends less time outside than ever before. 37. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “overwhelming” in the last paragraph? A. Intense. B. Confusing. C. Unusual. D. Terrifying. C It seems that there is no middle ground when it comes to cats. People either love them or hate them. These feelings are not new either. All through history, cats have been worshiped or hated. A study of ancient evidence indicates that for the past 5,000 years, cats have been kept as pets. This may not seem very long compared to the fact that dogs have been domesticated for 50,000 years, and it has definitely had its high and low points. Cats were at their highest position of domesticated life in ancient Egypt. There were more cats living in Egypt during the time of the pharaohs (法老) than in any other place in the world since that time. This high concentration of cats was probably due to the laws protecting the animal. Cats were associated with the moon goddess, so the Egyptians worshiped them as holy animals. If anyone was caught killing a cat, the person could be put to death. This respect for cats carried over to the Roman Empire where cats were the only animals allowed into temples. This fact was probably due to the ability of cats to keep the temples free of mice and rats. With the coming of the Dark Ages in Europe, the place of cats in society took a turn for the worse. Cats had a reputation as helpers of witches. When a person was accused of being a witch, a cat would often be put on trial with the person. The cat would be tortured (拷问) to try and make the person tell the truth, and usually the cat and the person would end up being burned in a bonfire (篝火) or drowned. Bonfires of collected cats were not uncommon during this time. The days of hunting witches have ended, but a few myths about cats still hold out. Many people today continue to believe that black cats are bad luck. If a black cat walks in front of a person, that person must take extra care in the near future to watch out for dangerous situations. Regardless superstition (迷信), cats remain a popular pet today. Some authorities on cats maintain that a cat can never truly be domesticated because it may turn wild and run away at any time. However, this claim has not discouraged people from keeping cats in their homes. One-third of homes in the United States have cats, and one out of every three of these homes keeps both a dog and a cat. Especially in large cities, many people in apartments have found that cats make much better pets when compared to dogs. 38. Why were cats highly respected in ancient Egypt? A. Because they were excellent hunters of mice and rats. B. Because they were associated with the moon goddess. C. Because they were the only animals allowed into temples. D. Because they had a high concentration in Egypt. 39. What happened to cats during the Dark Ages in Europe? A. Cats were often treated as witnesses in witch trials. B. Cats were often put on trial with accused witches. C. Cats were innocent and protected from harm. D. Cats were considered unlucky and subject to punishment. 40. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. More people prefer dogs over cats as their pets nowadays. B. People are not influenced by superstition when choosing pets. C. Cats are becoming less popular as other pets in urban areas. D. All families in the United States have at least one cat. 41. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Cats’ relationship with humans throughout history. B. The scientific evidence to support the domestication of cats. C. People’s mixed feelings about cats among different countries. D The challenges faced by cat owners in modern cities. D The modern Olympic Games are the leading sporting event nowadays. However, there are constantly mixed voices from different media as to whether to stop the Olympics. http://camilla.com.au/ The Olympic charter’s (奥林匹克章程) call for a “peaceful society” and “preservation of human dignity” is a very noble one, but its means are rather odd. Through fierce athletic competition between nations, individual contest between athletes, who train for 75% of their waking life, probably play a very little role in their society anyway. The Olympics is an arena (竞技场) for individual achievement; however, if someone is to win a race, others must lose. Emphasis is not placed on athletes improving their personal best but one who wins. Having many nations come together shows worldwide unity, nations united by their athletes in Lycra and branded shoes. The cultures of nations are shown by little more than flag waving and the appearance of their mascots (吉祥物). The Guardian The original spirit of the Olympics was supposedly that of sporting competition between amateurs, who competed for the honor of doing so, and to test themselves against the best sportspeople worldwide. However, the Olympics has become more commercialized. Money and rewards potentially available from excelling on the international stage has served to bring not only professionalization, but also cheating. The claimed ambition of the Olympic movement and the reality of the contemporary Olympics are now utterly opposed. The New York Times Citizens of the host city, often uninterested in the Olympic spectacle, can end up footing the bill by paying extra taxes. The construction of Olympic facilities, company investment and the regeneration of areas in host cities can be very disruptive, pricing local residents and shopkeepers out their areas. Previous Olympics have shown that Olympic resources, when the games are over, do not always benefit the host city. The Olympic sites can become ghost towns, so characteristic of the year they were built in as to be aesthetically (审美地) odd, impractical, inhospitable (不宜居的) and unfashionable a decade later. TIME The athletes competing in the Olympic Games have worked for years showing commitment to achieving physical greatness. They keep to a strict diet, and put in hundreds of hours training in a week, all for the honor of competing against the best athletes in the world. Besides, individual performance stands here for celebration of collective values, including that of fair competition. Those caught cheating are dealt with harshly (严厉地), which teaches against honesty and dedication to one’s dreams. Above all, the Olympic spirit is a beacon of hope. Countless times the games have instilled (逐渐灌输) hope and togetherness in many. In a world of growing hostility, its encouraging to see a sense of peace and togetherness gather every four years. 42. According to the article, how does the Olympics fail to live up to its noble ideals? A. By emphasizing individual achievements over teamwork. B. By focusing too much on competition rather than on impacting society. C. By excluding professional athletes from participation. D. By neglecting the cultural diversity of participating nations. 43. What does The Guardian argue about the original spirit of the Olympics and its current state? A. The original spirit remains unchanged and is still upheld today. B. It is no longer stick to their original amateur ideals. C. The Olympics have evolved to emphasize entertainment over athletic competition. D. The professional athletes have significantly improved the quality of the games. 44 What are some negative consequences of hosting the Olympics mentioned in The New York Times article? A. High costs for constructing Olympic facilities and disruptions to local communities. B. A permanent boost to the host city’s framework construction and reputation. C. Increased tourism and economic growth for the host city. D. A guaranteed long-term benefit for the local residents and shopkeepers. 45. What is the main argument about the Olympics presented in the passage? A. The modem Olympic Games are the most popular sporting event worldwide. B. The Olympic Charter’s goals are easily achievable through athletic competition. C. There are conflicting opinions regarding whether the Olympics should be stopped. D. There is a common ground among different media that the Games should continue. 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题(共25分) 注意事项： 1. 请用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2. 本卷共16小题，共35分。 第一部分 阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读表达 At 25, Emily Carson was living what many might call a successful life. She had a stable job at a marketing firm, a comfortable apartment in the city, and a network of supportive friends. But something always felt missing. Growing up, Emily had a deep love for music. She would spend hours at the piano as a child, but over time, life’s demands took priority, and her passion for music was slowly pushed aside. One cold winter evening, as Emily walked past a music store, she felt an old familiar pull. She wandered in and found herself staring at a beautiful grand piano. The memories flooded back. That night, Emily made a decision that would change her life: she was going to learn music again. But this time, it wouldn’t just be a hobby—it would be a central part of her life. Emily’s first piano lesson as an adult was both exciting and frustrating. Her fingers were stiff, and the notes on the sheet looked like a foreign language. But she had learned an important lesson from her career in marketing—success comes from perseverance, “I might not be good now,” she thought, “but with consistent effort, I will improve.” Week after week, Emily practiced. Some days were tough, and she wanted to quit. But every time she sat at the piano, she reminded herself of why she started—her love for music. Slowly but surely, she improved. After a year of practice, Emily played her first full song without any mistakes. The sense of accomplishment was remarkable. Her hard work had paid off, and her heart felt full again. Beyond the piano, this journey taught Emily something invaluable. It wasn’t just about mastering an instrument; it was about reigniting a part of herself she thought was lost. She realized that no matter how far off course life takes you, it’s never too late to return to the things you love. Now at 30 Emily balances her career with her passion for music. She’s even started teaching piano to young children in her spare time, hoping to inspire in them the same joy she rediscovered. 46. What did Emily decide to do after visiting the music store?

The air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers, and the rich colors of flowers painted a beautiful landscape. As I looked around, I noticed my neighbor, Mrs. Jenkins, tending to her garden. She appeared completely involved in her work, singing a tune while cutting her plants. Gardening has been my escape from the chaos of everyday life. With each seed I plant, I feel a sense of hope and anticipation for what’s to come. Last year had been particularly challenging; the long hours at work and the stress of daily responsibilities left me feeling exhausted. I needed an outlet, something to reactivate my passion and joy. That’s when I decided to transform my neglected backyard into a flourishing garden. Armed with enthusiasm and a few gardening books, I started my journey. The first few weeks were tough; my hands were painful, and the weeds seemed to return faster than I could pull them out. However, with every little sprout (发芽) that came through the soil, I felt a renewed sense of purpose. I remember the thrill of seeing my first tomatoes ripen. It was a small victory that brought me great joy. As the seasons changed, so did I. Gardening became a weekly routine. Every Saturday, I would spend hours outside, nurturing (培育) my plants and bathing in the sun. I discovered a community of fellow gardeners in my neighborhood, and we began exchanging tips and sharing produce. This interaction energized me even more, as I learned that many of us were using gardening as a way to cope with our personal struggles. During one particularly delightful garden gathering, we shared laughter and stories, united by our love for plants. Holding hands as we admired each other’s blooms, I realized that our gardens were more than just patches of soil; they were symbols of resilience (坚强) and growth. While gardening won’t solve all my problems, it has certainly brought an overwhelming sense of peace and satisfaction into my life. As I look forward to another gardening season, I am excited to continue this journey of growth, both in my garden and within myself. 34.

The air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers, and the rich colors of flowers painted a beautiful landscape. As I looked around, I noticed my neighbor, Mrs. Jenkins, tending to her garden. She appeared completely involved in her work, singing a tune while cutting her plants.(去年春天一个阳光明媚的周六早晨，我走进后院，准备迎接新的一天。空气中弥漫着鲜花盛开的芬芳，花朵的丰富色彩描绘出一幅美丽的风景。当我环顾四周时，我注意到我的邻居詹金斯太太正在打理她的花园。她似乎完全投入到她的工作中，一边修剪植物一边唱歌)”以及后文内容可知，第一段中提到作者注意到邻居Mrs. Jenkins在她的花园里工作，这不仅介绍了另一个角色和她的花园，更重要的是通过这一场景引出了作者自己的园艺旅程和个人联系。因此，作者谈论詹金斯夫人的花园的目的是为了引入话题，并为作者自己的园艺之旅提供个人联系。故选D项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The first few weeks were tough; my hands were painful, and the weeds seemed to return faster than I could pull them out. However, with every little sprout (发芽) that came through the soil, I felt a renewed sense of purpose. I remember the thrill of seeing my first tomatoes ripen. It was a small victory that brought me great joy.(最初的几周很艰难；我的双手疼痛，而且杂草似乎比我拔的速度还要快地重新长出来。然而，每当有小小的幼苗从土壤中冒出来时，我就会感到一种重新燃起的目标感。我还记得看到我的第一批番茄成熟时的那种激动心情。那是一个带给我巨大快乐的小胜利)”可知，作者在前几周遇到了挑战，但同时也受到了激励。故选C项。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“I discovered a community of fellow gardeners in my neighborhood, and we began exchanging tips and sharing produce. This interaction energized me even more, as I learned that many of us were using gardening as a way to cope with our personal struggles.(我在我家附近发现了一个园艺社区，我们开始交换技巧，分享农产品。这种互动让我更有活力，因为我了解到我们中的许多人都把园艺作为一种应对个人困境的方式)”以及倒数第二段“During one particularly delightful garden gathering, we shared laughter and stories, united by our love for plants. Holding hands as we admired each other’s blooms, I realized that our gardens were more than just patches of soil; they were symbols of resilience (坚强) and growth.(在一次特别愉快的花园聚会中，我们分享欢笑和故事，因为我们对植物的热爱而团结在一起。我们手牵着手欣赏彼此的花朵，我意识到我们的花园不仅仅是一片片的土壤；它们是坚韧和成长的象征)”可知，作者觉得自己与社区的联系更紧密了。故选A项。 【37题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“While gardening won’t solve all my problems, it has certainly brought an overwhelming sense of peace and satisfaction into my life.(虽然园艺不能解决我所有的问题，但它确实给我的生活带来了overwhelming平静和满足感)”可知，划线词形容园艺带来的平静和满足感的程度，根据上下文推知，这里的意思是强烈的、难以抗拒的。选项A “Intense(强烈的)”最接近原文意思。故选A项。 C It seems that there is no middle ground when it comes to cats. People either love them or hate them. These feelings are not new either. All through history, cats have been worshiped or hated. A study of ancient evidence indicates that for the past 5,000 years, cats have been kept as pets. This may not seem very long compared to the fact that dogs have been domesticated for 50,000 years, and it has definitely had its high and low points. Cats were at their highest position of domesticated life in ancient Egypt. There were more cats living in Egypt during the time of the pharaohs (法老) than in any other place in the world since that time. This high concentration of cats was probably due to the laws protecting the animal. Cats were associated with the moon goddess, so the Egyptians worshiped them as holy animals. If anyone was caught killing a cat, the person could be put to death. This respect for cats carried over to the Roman Empire where cats were the only animals allowed into temples. This fact was probably due to the ability of cats to keep the temples free of mice and rats. With the coming of the Dark Ages in Europe the place of cats in society took a turn for the worse. Cats had a reputation as helpers of witches. When a person was accused of being a witch, a cat would often be put on trial with the person. The cat would be tortured (拷问) to try and make the person tell the truth, and usually the cat and the person would end up being burned in a bonfire (篝火) or drowned. Bonfires of collected cats were not uncommon during this time. The days of hunting witches have ended, but a few myths about cats still hold out. Many people today continue to believe that black cats are bad luck. If a black cat walks in front of a person, that person must take extra care in the near future to watch out for dangerous situations. Regardless superstition (迷信), cats remain a popular pet today. Some authorities on cats maintain that a cat can never truly be domesticated because it may turn wild and run away at any time. However, this claim has not discouraged people from keeping cats in their homes. One-third of homes in the United States have cats, and one out of every three of these homes keeps both a dog and a cat. Especially in large cities, many people in apartments have found that cats make much better pets when compared to dogs. 38. Why were cats highly respected in ancient Egypt? A. Because they were excellent hunters of mice and rats. B. Because they were associated with the moon goddess. C. Because they were the only animals allowed into temples. D. Because they had a high concentration in Egypt. 39. What happened to cats during the Dark Ages in Europe? A. Cats were often treated as witnesses in witch trials. B. Cats were often put on trial with accused witches. C. Cats were innocent and protected from harm. D. Cats were considered unlucky and subject to punishment. 40. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. More people prefer dogs over cats as their pets nowadays. B. People are not influenced by superstition when choosing pets. C. Cats are becoming less popular as other pets in urban areas. D. All families in the United States have at least one cat. 41. What is the main idea of the passage? A.

When a person was accused of being a witch, a cat would often be put on trial with the person.(猫被认为是女巫的帮手。当一个人被指控为女巫时，一只猫通常会和这个人一起受审)”可知，在欧洲的黑暗时代，猫经常和被指控为女巫的人一起受审。故选B。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Regardless superstition (迷信), cats remain a popular pet today.(抛开迷信，今天猫仍然是一种受欢迎的宠物)”可知，从最后一段可以推断出人们在选择宠物时不受迷信的影响。故选B。 【41题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“A study of ancient evidence indicates that for the past 5,000 years, cats have been kept as pets. This may not seem very long compared to the fact that dogs have been domesticated for 50,000 years, and it has definitely had its high and low points.(一项对古代证据的研究表明，在过去的5000年里，猫一直被当作宠物饲养。与狗被驯化了5万年的事实相比，这似乎不是很长，而且它肯定有高潮和低谷)”可知，本文主要讲的是猫与人类的关系以及猫在不同历史时期的社会地位，因此主旨大意是A选项“Cats’ relationship with humans throughout history.(历史上猫与人类的关系)”。故选A。 D The modern Olympic Games are the leading sporting event nowadays. However, there are constantly mixed voices from different media as to whether to stop the Olympics. http://camilla.com.au/ The Olympic charter’s (奥林匹克章程) call for a “peaceful society” and “preservation of human dignity” is a very noble one, but its means are rather odd. Through fierce athletic competition between nations, individual contest between athletes, who train for 75% of their waking life, probably play a very little role in their society anyway. The Olympics is an arena (竞技场) for individual achievement; however, if someone is to win a race, others must lose. Emphasis is not placed on athletes improving their personal best but one who wins. Having many nations come together shows worldwide unity, nations united by their athletes in Lycra and branded shoes. The cultures of nations are shown by little more than flag waving and the appearance of their mascots (吉祥物). The Guardian The original spirit of the Olympics was supposedly that of sporting competition between amateurs, who competed for the honor of doing so, and to test themselves against the best sportspeople worldwide. However, the Olympics has become more commercialized. Money and rewards potentially available from excelling on the international stage has served to bring not only professionalization, but also cheating. The claimed ambition of the Olympic movement and the reality of the contemporary Olympics are now utterly opposed. The New York Times Citizens of the host city, often uninterested in the Olympic spectacle, can end up footing the bill by paying extra taxes. The construction of Olympic facilities, company investment and the regeneration of areas in host cities can be very disruptive, pricing local residents and shopkeepers out their areas. Previous Olympics have shown that Olympic resources, when the games are over, do not always benefit the host city. The Olympic sites can become ghost towns, so characteristic of the year they were built in as to be aesthetically (审美地) odd, impractical, inhospitable (不宜居的) and unfashionable a decade later. TIME The athletes competing in the Olympic Games have worked for years, showing commitment to achieving physical greatness. They keep to a strict diet, and put in hundreds of hours training in a week, all for the honor of competing against the best athletes in the world. Besides, individual performance stands here for celebration of collective values, including that of fair competition. Those caught cheating are dealt with harshly (严厉地), which teaches against honesty and dedication to one’s dreams. Above all, the Olympic spirit is a beacon of hope. Countless times the games have instilled (逐渐灌输) hope and togetherness in many. In a world of growing hostility, its encouraging to see a sense of peace and togetherness gather every four years. 42.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍的是是否应继续举办奥运会的观点论述。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据http://camilla.com.au/下的“The Olympic charter’s (奥林匹克章程) call for a “peaceful society” and “preservation of human dignity” is a very noble one, but its means are rather odd. Through fierce athletic competition between nations, individual contest between athletes, who train for 75% of their waking life, probably play a very little role in their society anyway.(奥林匹克宪章对“和平社会”和“维护人类尊严”的呼吁是非常崇高的，但其手段却相当奇怪。通过国家之间激烈的体育竞争，运动员之间的个人竞争，他们清醒的生活中75%的时间都在训练，可能在他们的社会中发挥的作用很小)”可知，奥运会过于关注竞争，而不是影响社会，所以未能实现其崇高的理想。故选B项。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Guardian下的“The original spirit of the Olympics was supposedly that of sporting competition between amateurs, who competed for the honor of doing so, and to test themselves against the best sportspeople worldwide. However, the Olympics has become more commercialized. Money and rewards potentially available from excelling on the international stage has served to bring not only professionalization, but also cheating. The claimed ambition of the Olympic movement and the reality of the contemporary Olympics are now utterly opposed.(奥林匹克最初的精神被认为是业余爱好者之间的体育竞赛，他们为了这样做的荣誉而竞争，并与世界上最优秀的运动员较量自己。然而，奥运会已经变得更加商业化。在国际舞台上表现出色可能带来的金钱和奖励不仅带来了职业化，也带来了作弊。奥林匹克运动的雄心壮志和当代奥运会的现实现在是完全对立的)”可知，The Guardian认为奥林匹克不再坚持原来的业余爱好者的理想。故选B项。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据The New York Times下“Citizens of the host city, often uninterested in the Olympic spectacle, can end up footing the bill by paying extra taxes. The construction of Olympic facilities, company investment and the regeneration of areas in host cities can be very disruptive, pricing local residents and shopkeepers out their areas. Previous Olympics have shown that Olympic resources, when the games are over, do not always benefit the host city. The Olympic sites can become ghost towns, so characteristic of the year they were built in as to be aesthetically (审美地) odd, impractical, inhospitable (不宜居的) and unfashionable a decade later.(主办城市的市民通常对奥运会的壮观场面不感兴趣，最终可能会通过支付额外的税款来买单。奥运设施的建设、企业投资以及主办城市地区的重建，都可能造成极大的破坏，导致当地居民和店主被迫离开自己的地区。往届奥运会表明，奥运会结束后，奥运资源并不总是有利于主办城市。奥运场馆可能会变成鬼城，因为它们是当年的特色，以至于十年后在美学上显得古怪、不切实际、不适宜居住、不时尚)”可知，The New York Times文章中提到的举办奥运会的一些负面影响是建设奥运设施的高昂成本和对当地社区的干扰。故选A项。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The modern Olympic Games are the leading sporting event nowadays. However, there are constantly mixed voices from different media as to whether to stop the Olympics.(现代奥林匹克运动会是当今最重要的体育赛事。然而，对于是否要停止奥运会，不同媒体的声音一直是褒贬不一)”可知，文章中关于奥运会的主要论点是关于是否应该停止举办奥运会，存在着相互矛盾的意见。故选C项。 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题(共25分) 注意事项： 1. 请用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2. 本卷共16小题，共35分。 第一部分 阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读表达 At 25, Emily Carson was living what many might call a successful life. She had a stable job at a marketing firm, a comfortable apartment in the city, and a network of supportive friends. But something always felt missing. Growing up, Emily had a deep love for music. She would spend hours at the piano as a child, but over time, life’s demands took priority, and her passion for music was slowly pushed aside. One cold winter evening, as Emily walked past a music store, she felt an old familiar pull. She wandered in and found herself staring at a beautiful grand piano. The memories flooded back. That night, Emily made a decision that would change her life: she was going to learn music again. But this time, it wouldn’t just be a hobby—it would be a central part of her life. Emily’s first piano lesson as an adult was both exciting and frustrating. Her fingers were stiff, and the notes on the sheet looked like a foreign language. But she had learned an important lesson from her career in marketing—success comes from perseverance, “I might not be good now,” she thought, “but with consistent effort, I will improve.” Week after week, Emily practiced. Some days were tough, and she wanted to quit. But every time she sat at the piano, she reminded herself of why she started—her love for music. Slowly but surely, she improved. After a year of practice, Emily played her first full song without any mistakes. The sense of accomplishment was remarkable. Her hard work had paid off, and her heart felt full again. Beyond the piano, this journey taught Emily something invaluable. It wasn’t just about mastering an instrument; it was about reigniting a part of herself she thought was lost. She realized that no matter how far off course life takes you, it’s never too late to return to the things you love. Now at 30, Emily balances her career with her passion for music. She’s even started teaching piano to young children in her spare time, hoping to inspire in them the same joy she rediscovered. 46. What did Emily decide to do after visiting the music store? (No more than 10 words) ___________________________________________________________________ 47 How did Emily feel during her first piano lesson? (No more than 10 words) ___________________________________________________________________ 48. What lesson did Emily learn from her career in marketing? (No more than 10 words) ___________________________________________________________________ 49. What does the underlined phrase “reigniting a part of herself” mean? (No more than 5 words) ___________________________________________________________________ 50. How does Emily’s story inspire you to pursue your passions? (No more than 20 words) ___________________________________________________________________ 【答案】46 She decided to learn music again and play the piano. 47. She felt both excited and frustrated. 48. Perseverance leads to success over time. 49. Rediscovering a forgotten passion or interest. 50. 开放性题目，言之有理即可，答案因人而异。It encourages me to never give up on my dreams and passions/It inspires me to take action and pursue what I love 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Emily Carson在25岁时重新审视自己的生活，重拾对音乐的热爱，并通过坚持和努力最终找回自我和成就感的故事。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“That night, Emily made a decision that would change her life: she was going to learn music again. But this time, it wouldn’t just be a hobby—it would be a central part of her life.(那天晚上，艾米丽做出了一个改变她生活的决定：她要再次学习音乐。)”可知，Emily在参观音乐店后决定重新学习音乐，并弹奏钢琴。故答案为：She decided to learn music again and play the piano。 【47题详解】 细节理解头。根据第三段中的“Emily’s first piano lesson as an adult was both exciting and frustrating.(艾米丽成年后的第一堂钢琴课既令人兴奋又令人沮丧。)”可知，Emily在第一次上钢琴课时既感到兴奋又感到沮丧。故答案为：She felt both excited and frustrated。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But she had learned an important lesson from her career in marketing—success comes from perseverance(但她从营销生涯中吸取了一个重要的教训——成功来自毅力，)”可知，Emily从她的市场营销职业生涯中学到了坚持不懈会带来成功这一重要教训。故答案为：Perseverance leads to success over time。 【49题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“It wasn’t just about mastering an instrument; it was about reigniting a part of herself she thought was lost.(这不仅仅是掌握一种乐器；这是关于____她认为已经失去的)。”结合全文内容以及第二段的“That night, Emily made a decision that would change her life: she was going to learn music again. But this time, it wouldn’t just be a hobby—it would be a central part of her life.(那天晚上，艾米丽做出了一个改变她生活的决定：她要再次学习音乐。但这一次，这不仅仅是一种爱好，它将成为她生活的核心部分。)”以及第四段的“After a year of practice, Emily played her first full song without any mistakes. The sense of accomplishment was remarkable. Her hard work had paid off, and her heart felt full again.(经过一年的练习，艾米丽演奏了她的第一首完整歌曲，没有出现任何错误。成就感是非凡的。她的努力得到了回报，她的心又充满了。)”可知，Emily Carson在25岁时重新审视自己的生活，重拾对音乐的热爱，并通过坚持和努力最终找回自我和成就感，所以“reigniting a part of herself”指的是重新找回她认为自己已经失去的一部分，即重新发现被遗忘的热爱。故答案为：Rediscovering a forgotten passion or interest。 【50题详解】 开放性题目，言之有理即可，答案因人而异。Emily的故事告诉我们，无论生活如何偏离轨道，重新找回并追求自己的热爱永远都不晚。因此，我们可以从中得到启发，勇敢地追求自己的梦想和热爱，不畏艰难，坚持不懈。例如，可以回答It encourages me to never give up on my dreams and passions.或者It inspires me to take action and pursue what I love.等。故答案为It encourages me to never give up on my dreams and passions/It inspires me to take action and pursue what I love。 第二部分 书面表达(满分15分) 51. 假设你是李津，你收到了一位美国笔友Chris的来信，请仔细阅读他的来信并按要求写一封回信。 Dear Li Jin, I hope this message finds you well. I’m here in China as an exchange student. Everything is unforgettable and I’m really enjoying my time here, but there’s something that’s been confusing me a bit. I noticed that when people greet each other on the street, they often say things like “Chī le ma?” (Have you eaten?) or “Qù nǎ lǐ?” (Where are you going?). I find these greetings really interesting, but I’m not quite sure what they mean or how to answer them probably. I’d love to learn more. And hope we can meet up some time. Yours, Chris 注意： 1. 词数不少于100； 2. 可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯； 3. 回信内容应包括对方想了解的内容，且合理交际。 Dear Chris, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best regards, Li Jin 【答案】Dear Chris, I was thrilled to receive your letter! It’s wonderful to hear that you’re enjoying your time as an exchange student in China. ‌“Chī le ma?” (Have you eaten?) is a common greeting. It’s more of a polite way to say hello and express concern for the other person’s well-being, rather than a literal inquiry about their last meal. You can simply reply with ‌“Chī guò le, xiè xiè.” (I’ve eaten, thank you.) or ‌“Hái méi chī ne.” (Haven’t eaten yet.). Similarly, “Qù nǎ lǐ?” (Where are you going?) is another common greeting, often used when people bump into each other unexpectedly or meet on their way somewhere. You can answer by stating your destination or simply say ‌“Just going for a walk/to the store/etc.”. These greetings might seem unusual to you, but they reflect the warmth and friendliness of Chinese people. Once again, enjoy your stay in China, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any more questions or need help navigating this wonderful country. Best regards, Li Jin 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生阅读Chris的来信并按要求写一封关于中文问候如何回答的回信。 【详解】1.词汇积累 激动的：thrilled→excited 而不是：rather than→instead of 类似：similarly→likewise 联系：reach out→contact 2.句式拓展 句型转换 原句：These greetings might seem unusual to you, but they reflect the warmth and friendliness of Chinese people. 拓展句：While these greetings might seem unusual to you, they reflect the warmth and friendliness of Chinese people. 【点睛】[高分句型1] It’s wonderful to hear that you’re enjoying your time as an exchange student in China.
