The pond is silent — until the first cry: “Found something!” A swimmer ducks into the water. She emerges, fist first, clutching a pair of bright blue children’s swimming goggles. She shakes them overhead, as if she has won a prize.
Over the next hour, on a cloudy Saturday morning in July, the team of 15 — all over age 65, all women — hunts for trash across Mares Pond, a 28-acre kettle hole on Cape Cod, at depths of up to 8 feet. These are the Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage (OLAUG). Since 2017, the group, which accepts only older women as members, has made it its mission to remove trash from ponds across Cape Cod.
The group’s existence is owed to Susan Baur, a retired psychologist. As a lifelong nature fan, she had begun swimming in ponds on the cape as a safer alternative to the ocean. However, between mud, darkness and snapping turtles, the world of the pond was at first one of anxiety for her.
In 2017, on a whim, she rounded up two friends and a stranger with a kayak and together, they cleared a large amount of litter from a pond. Soon others joined them, and, like Baur, they found a sense of wonder in the pond cleanups.
While many outsiders have expressed their gratitude to OLAUG for cleaning up the ponds, some have questioned why they refer to themselves as “old ladies”. Others have said she should open the group to all ages, and to men.
Although she admits that it wasn’t initially a thoughtful choice, she now believes that the “old lady” identity is a crucial part of what the group is about. “Over 65, if you’re healthy enough to do what we’re doing, it is the age of gratitude,” Baur says. “You are so grateful that you can still do this.”
24. Why was the group OLAUG founded?
A. To promote an active way of life. B. To rescue children from the ponds.
C. To clean up garbage in the ponds. D. To advocate swimming to keep fit.
25. What do we know about Susan Baur from the text?
A. She longs for a quiet retired life. B. She cares about old ladies' life.
C. She is keen on physical training. D. She is a nature-loving woman.
26. What is some people’s suggestion to the group?
A. To be more inclusive. B. To broaden its business.
C. To rename the group. D. To be more independent.
27. Why does Baur particularly care about their “old lady” identity?
A. It helps to promote their image. B. It helps boost their sense of pride.
C. It benefits their physical health. D. It helps them win more respect.
C
Artificial intelligence (AI) is still in its infancy, yet it is already revolutionizing medicine, making health care more accurate and less expensive for everyone.
In 2022, the Department of Health and Human Services reported that about 6 percent of the more than 130 million people who go to emergency rooms every year are misdiagnosed. Of those, 2.6 million people are unnecessarily harmed because of their misdiagnosis. Roughly 400,000 are permanently disabled or die.
Artificial intelligence has the potential to significantly reduce those tragedies. A recent study out of Boston comparing the performance of chatbot-assisted physicians in diagnosing patients to just chatbots themselves found that the bots performed considerably better. Given a patient’s case history and symptoms, the chatbot alone scored an average of 90 percent in correctly diagnosing their condition. Physicians using the technology scored only 76 percent on average — just slightly better than the 74 percent average for humans with no AI help at all.
A 2024 review of studies similarly found that screenings for skin cancer aided by AI were more accurate than those without the technology. It is also better at determining which tumors are benign (良性), limiting the number of unnecessary and expensive checks that patients must endure, not to mention the anxiety that comes with the procedures. Another review found similar results for breast cancer screenings, while also showing that AI reduced the workload of radiologists by 68 percent.
Of course the use of AI in medicine is not to replace humans; it is to give them better tools to help their patients. Then again, as AI models improve, it’s possible to imagine a future in which physicians are required to use them in screenings,and doctors devote more and more of their time to doing things AI is less suited to do, such as interacting with patients, explaining the medicine, and thinking through unusual or unexpected circumstances.
28. What is the 2022 report mainly concerned about?
A. The wide use of AI in medicine. B. The urgent need of medical care.
C. The seriousness of misdiagnosis. D. The cause of death and disability.
29. Which aspect of medical AI does the Boston study focus on?
A. Diagnostic accuracy. B. Treatment effects.
C. Medical screening. D. Up-dated models.
30. What is the main purpose of applications of medical AI?
A. To make health care cheaper. B. To offer a tool for diagnosis.
C. To reduce the doctors’ burden. D. To take place of medical staff.
31. What’s the author’s attitude towards the use of AI in medicine?
A. Critical. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Favorable.
D
If you use lots of emoji (表情符号) when messaging your friends, you may be more emotionally intelligent — that is, better able to understand your emotions and those of others. That is the conclusion of a team of U.S. researchers from Indiana University (IU), who also found that reduced emoji use with friends and partners is associated with an avoidant relationship attachment style.
“The way we interact during virtual communications may reveal something more about ourselves,” said paper author and IU psychologist Simon Dubé in a statement. “It is not just a smiley face or heart emoji — it’s a way to convey meaning and communicate more effectively, and how you use it tells us something about you,” he said.
In their study Dubé and his colleagues interviewed 320 U.S. adults who regularly send and receive text messages. Each subject was surveyed about his or her identity information, typical emoji use, emotional intelligence and so-called attachment styles.
The latter refers to the ways in which we relate to other people when in close relationships and are thought to be influenced by how we interact with parents and other caregivers early in life. Children who feel safe, protected and supported by their caregivers tend to go on to develop a secure attachment style, which is the healthiest type. In contrast, children whose parents are emotionally distant or dismissive tend to develop an avoidant attachment style and struggle to develop close relationships later in life.
Inconsistent caregiving, meanwhile, can lead to anxious attachment, where people long for closeness but meanwhile fear abandonment and rejection.
The researchers found that texters with higher levels of emotional intelligence and secure attachment styles tend to use more emoji when messaging. Overall, women were found to use emoji more with friends and family than their male counterparts do. However, women were found to send and receive emoji less often with friends, dates and romantic partners when they exhibited more avoidant styles of attachment. Men with avoidant attachment, meanwhile, were found to send fewer emoji to partners.
The team admitted that its study was limited. The participants were mainly white, married, educated, English-speaking people and therefore do not fully reflect the population.
32. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Emoji use strengthening family ties. B. Attachment styles affecting emoji use.
C. The development of attachment styles. D. Emoji use and emotional intelligence.
33 What did Simon Dubé mean about Emoji use?
A. It shows your skills of interaction. B. It helps keep a close relationship.
C. It reveals your private information. D. It raises communication efficiency.
34. What might result in avoidant attachment?
A. Lack of care in childhood. B. Having a secure childhood.
C. Using no emoji when texting. D. The overuse of social media.
35. What might be a cause of the limitation of the study?
A. Insufficient amount of data. B. No supporting evidence.
C Improper way of sampling. D. Mistakes in data analysis.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Life was peaceful in the town of Willow Creek. But one chilly autumn morning, a new neighbor moved in across the street. He was a college student. He had brought with him a beer-pong table, which was set on his front lawn.
The beer-pong table was within full view of my kitchen window. It was a tool for the noisy, late-night parties by college students. I knew that all too well from once living near a university.
Remembering the sleepless nights caused by the sound of bouncing balls and the noises, I felt a burst of anger bubbling up like a storm. So I walked right up to the student’s house, and knocked on the door. I told him that it had to go. Instead of apologizing, he returned my anger in kind. “Who the hell are you?” he asked. “And what gives you the right to make such a ridiculous demand?”
His challenging gaze and aggressive tone added fuel to the flames of my anger. My sharp and cutting words hung in the air. I could feel the heat of my anger, and a red veil clouded my face.
The next day, I felt ashamed. Why didn’t other women get angry like me? Why couldn’t I keep it altogether? Why couldn’t I find some useful way to release the aggression?
I thought of the cookies I had made recently — big, peanut butter chocolate cookies. I had made them to apologize to a friend. Some of the dough was still in the freezer. I hadn’t intended to save the cookie dough balls for future apologies. But it was handy to have them sitting there, waiting to make things right. I decided to bake the cookies and offer them to my neighbor as a peace gesture. As the cookies baked, the house was filled with a warm, inviting smell. I placed the cookies on a plate, took a deep breath, and walked across the street.
注 意 :
1.续写词数应为150左右;

The door opened, and I was greeted by a pair of curious eyes.

We shared a smile, and I felt a weight lifted off my heart.

The pond is silent — until the first cry: “Found something!” A swimmer ducks into the water. She emerges, fist first, clutching a pair of bright blue children’s swimming goggles. She shakes them overhead, as if she has won a prize.
Over the next hour, on a cloudy Saturday morning in July, the team of 15 — all over age 65, all women — hunts for trash across Mares Pond, a 28-acre kettle hole on Cape Cod, at depths of up to 8 feet. These are the Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage (OLAUG). Since 2017, the group, which accepts only older women as members, has made it its mission to remove trash from ponds across Cape Cod.
The group’s existence is owed to Susan Baur, a retired psychologist. As a lifelong nature fan, she had begun swimming in ponds on the cape as a safer alternative to the ocean. However, between mud, darkness and snapping turtles, the world of the pond was at first one of anxiety for her.
In 2017, on a whim, she rounded up two friends and a stranger with a kayak and together, they cleared a large amount of litter from a pond. Soon others joined them, and, like Baur, they found a sense of wonder in the pond cleanups.
While many outsiders have expressed their gratitude to OLAUG for cleaning up the ponds, some have questioned why they refer to themselves as “old ladies”. Others have said she should open the group to all ages, and to men.
Although she admits that it wasn’t initially a thoughtful choice, she now believes that the “old lady” identity is a crucial part of what the group is about. “Over 65, if you’re healthy enough to do what we’re doing, it is the age of gratitude,” Baur says. “You are so grateful that you can still do this.”
24. Why was the group OLAUG founded?
A. To promote an active way of life. B. To rescue children from the ponds.
C. To clean up garbage in the ponds. D. To advocate swimming to keep fit.
25. What do we know about Susan Baur from the text?
A. She longs for a quiet retired life. B. She cares about old ladies' life.
C. She is keen on physical training. D. She is a nature-loving woman.
26. What is some people’s suggestion to the group?
A. To be more inclusive. B. To broaden its business.
C. To rename the group. D. To be more independent.
27. Why does Baur particularly care about their “old lady” identity?
A. It helps to promote their image. B. It helps boost their sense of pride.
C. It benefits their physical health. D. It helps them win more respect.
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. B

Others have said she should open the group to all ages, and to men.(虽然许多局外人对OLAUG清理池塘表示感谢,但一些人质疑她们为什么称自己为“老妇人”。其他人则表示,她应该向所有年龄段和男性开放这个团体)”可知,一些人建议向所有年龄段和男性开放这个团体,即组建一个更具包容性团队。故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although she admits that it wasn’t initially a thoughtful choice, she now believes that the “old lady” identity is a crucial part of what the group is about. “Over 65, if you’re healthy enough to do what we’re doing, it is the age of gratitude,” Baur says. “You are so grateful that you can still do this.”(尽管她承认这最初不是一个深思熟虑的选择,但她现在认为“老妇人”的身份是这个团体的重要组成部分。鲍尔说:“65岁以上,如果你足够健康,可以做我们正在做的事情,那就是感恩的年龄”,“你很感激你还能做到这一点。”)”可知,鲍尔认为“老妇人”的身份增强了她们的自豪感和团队自我定位。故选B。

Artificial intelligence (AI) is still in its infancy, yet it is already revolutionizing medicine, making health care more accurate and less expensive for everyone.
In 2022, the Department of Health and Human Services reported that about 6 percent of the more than 130 million people who go to emergency rooms every year are misdiagnosed. Of those, 2.6 million people are unnecessarily harmed because of their misdiagnosis. Roughly 400,000 are permanently disabled or die.
Artificial intelligence has the potential to significantly reduce those tragedies. A recent study out of Boston comparing the performance of chatbot-assisted physicians in diagnosing patients to just chatbots themselves found that the bots performed considerably better. Given a patient’s case history and symptoms, the chatbot alone scored an average of 90 percent in correctly diagnosing their condition. Physicians using the technology scored only 76 percent on average — just slightly better than the 74 percent average for humans with no AI help at all.
A 2024 review of studies similarly found that screenings for skin cancer aided by AI were more accurate than those without the technology. It is also better at determining which tumors are benign (良性), limiting the number of unnecessary and expensive checks that patients must endure, not to mention the anxiety that comes with the procedures. Another review found similar results for breast cancer screenings, while also showing that AI reduced the workload of radiologists by 68 percent.
Of course, the use of AI in medicine is not to replace humans; it is to give them better tools to help their patients. Then again, as AI models improve, it’s possible to imagine a future in which physicians are required to use them in screenings,and doctors devote more and more of their time to doing things AI is less suited to do, such as interacting with patients, explaining the medicine, and thinking through unusual or unexpected circumstances.
28. What is the 2022 report mainly concerned about?
A. The wide use of AI in medicine. B. The urgent need of medical care.
C. The seriousness of misdiagnosis. D. The cause of death and disability.
29. Which aspect of medical AI does the Boston study focus on?
A. Diagnostic accuracy. B. Treatment effects.
C. Medical screening. D. Up-dated models.
30. What is the main purpose of applications of medical AI?
A. To make health care cheaper. B. To offer a tool for diagnosis.
C. To reduce the doctors’ burden. D. To take place of medical staff.
31. What’s the author’s attitude towards the use of AI in medicine?
A. Critical. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Favorable.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. D
【解析】

Of those, 2.6 million people are unnecessarily harmed because of their misdiagnosis. Roughly 400,000 are permanently disabled or die.(2022年,美国卫生与公众服务部报告称,每年前往急诊室就诊的1.3亿多人中,约有6%的人被误诊。在这些被误诊的人中,有260万人因误诊而遭受不必要的伤害。大约40万人因此永久残疾或死亡)”可知,2022年报告指出每年1.3亿多急诊患者中有约6%被误诊,其中260万人因误诊受不必要伤害,约40万人永久残疾或死亡。这些数据都在强调误诊问题的严重性。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“A recent study out of Boston comparing the performance of chatbot-assisted physicians in diagnosing patients to just chatbots themselves found that the bots performed considerably better. Given a patient’s case history and symptoms, the chatbot alone scored an average of 90 percent in correctly diagnosing their condition. Physicians using the technology scored only 76 percent on average — just slightly better than the 74 percent average for humans with no AI help at all.(波士顿近期的一项研究对比了有聊天机器人辅助的医生与单纯聊天机器人在诊断患者方面的表现,结果发现聊天机器人的表现明显更优。仅依据患者的病史和症状,聊天机器人在正确诊断病情方面的平均得分达到90%。而使用该技术的医生平均得分仅为76%,仅略高于完全没有人工智能辅助的人类医生74%的平均得分)”可知,文中提到波士顿的研究对比了聊天机器人辅助的医生和单纯聊天机器人在诊断患者方面的表现,结果是聊天机器人在正确诊断病情方面平均得分90%,使用该技术的医生平均得分 76% 。由此可见,该研究重点关注的是医疗AI 的诊断准确性。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Of course, the use of AI in medicine is not to replace humans; it is to give them better tools to help their patients.(当然,在医疗领域使用人工智能并非为了取代人类,而是为人类提供更好的工具来帮助患者)”可知,人工智能在医学中的应用是为医生提供更好的工具来帮助患者,结合前文提到AI在诊断方面的表现,可知其主要目的是提供诊断工具。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。文章第一段“Artificial intelligence (AI) is still in its infancy, yet it is already revolutionizing medicine, making health care more accurate and less expensive for everyone.(人工智能仍处于起步阶段,但它已然在革新医疗领域,让医疗保健对每个人来说都变得更加精准且成本更低)”指AI在医疗领域虽处于起步阶段,但已对医疗保健产生积极影响,使其更精准且成本更低。接着通过多项研究表明AI在减少误诊、提高诊断准确性、辅助癌症筛查等方面的积极作用,最后还提到AI为医生提供更好工具,帮助患者。这些都体现出作者对 AI在医学中应用持支持、肯定的态度。故选D。
D
If you use lots of emoji (表情符号) when messaging your friends, you may be more emotionally intelligent — that is, better able to understand your emotions and those of others. That is the conclusion of a team of U.S. researchers from Indiana University (IU), who also found that reduced emoji use with friends and partners is associated with an avoidant relationship attachment style.
“The way we interact during virtual communications may reveal something more about ourselves,” said paper author and IU psychologist Simon Dubé in a statement. “It is not just a smiley face or heart emoji — it’s a way to convey meaning and communicate more effectively, and how you use it tells us something about you,” he said.
In their study, Dubé and his colleagues interviewed 320 U.S. adults who regularly send and receive text messages. Each subject was surveyed about his or her identity information, typical emoji use, emotional intelligence and so-called attachment styles.
The latter refers to the ways in which we relate to other people when in close relationships and are thought to be influenced by how we interact with parents and other caregivers early in life. Children who feel safe, protected and supported by their caregivers tend to go on to develop a secure attachment style, which is the healthiest type. In contrast, children whose parents are emotionally distant or dismissive tend to develop an avoidant attachment style and struggle to develop close relationships later in life.
Inconsistent caregiving, meanwhile, can lead to anxious attachment, where people long for closeness but meanwhile fear abandonment and rejection.
The researchers found that texters with higher levels of emotional intelligence and secure attachment styles tend to use more emoji when messaging. Overall, women were found to use emoji more with friends and family than their male counterparts do. However, women were found to send and receive emoji less often with friends, dates and romantic partners when they exhibited more avoidant styles of attachment. Men with avoidant attachment, meanwhile, were found to send fewer emoji to partners.
The team admitted that its study was limited. The participants were mainly white, married, educated, English-speaking people and therefore do not fully reflect the population.
32. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Emoji use strengthening family ties. B. Attachment styles affecting emoji use.
C. The development of attachment styles. D. Emoji use and emotional intelligence.
33. What did Simon Dubé mean about Emoji use?
A. It shows your skills of interaction. B. It helps keep a close relationship.
C. It reveals your private information. D. It raises communication efficiency.
34. What might result in avoidant attachment?
A. Lack of care in childhood. B. Having a secure childhood.
C. Using no emoji when texting. D. The overuse of social media.
35. What might be a cause of the limitation of the study?
A. Insufficient amount of data. B. No supporting evidence.
C. Improper way of sampling. D. Mistakes in data analysis.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现,人们依恋风格的不同会影响表情符号的使用,解释了表情符号的作用以及不同依恋风格是如何形成的。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“If you use lots of emoji (表情符号) when messaging your friends, you may be more emotionally intelligent — that is, better able to understand your emotions and those of others. That is the conclusion of a team of U.S. researchers from Indiana University (IU), who also found that reduced emoji use with friends and partners is associated with an avoidant relationship attachment style.(如果你在给朋友发信息时使用很多表情符号,你可能情商更高——也就是说,你能更好地理解自己和他人的情绪。这是来自印第安纳大学的一组美国研究人员得出的结论,他们还发现,在朋友和伴侣之间减少表情符号的使用与回避型关系依恋类型有关)”结合文章主要说明了研究发现,人们依恋风格的不同会影响表情符号的使用,解释了表情符号的作用以及不同依恋风格是如何形成的。可知,这篇文章主要讲了依恋风格影响表情符号的使用。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段““It is not just a smiley face or heart emoji — it’s a way to convey meaning and communicate more effectively, and how you use it tells us something about you,” he said.(他说:“这不仅仅是一个笑脸或爱心表情符号——这是一种传达意义和更有效沟通的方式,你如何使用它能告诉我们一些关于你的事情。”)”可知,Simon Dubé认为表情符号的使用提高沟通效率。故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“In contrast, children whose parents are emotionally distant or dismissive tend to develop an avoidant attachment style and struggle to develop close relationships later in life.(相比之下,那些情感上与父母疏远或被冷淡对待的孩子往往会发展出回避型依恋风格,并在以后的生活中很难建立亲密关系)”可知,童年时期缺乏照顾会导致回避型依恋。故选A。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The team admitted that its study was limited. The participants were mainly white, married, educated, English-speaking people and therefore do not fully reflect the population.(研究小组承认他们的研究是有限的。参与者主要是白人,已婚,受过教育,会说英语,因此不能完全反映其他人口情况)”可知,取样方式不当导致了研究的局限性。故选C。

Drip tape is the best way to save water on your home garden. It is a black hose (软管) you attach to your garden water source and then make holes where your plants are. ___37___ So it can greatly reduce the watering needs and saves up to 80% of water from evaporation (蒸发).
If you live in a hot climate, you probably know that watering your garden in the morning will just make it evaporate in the hot sun. ___38___ Or do it after the heat of the day has passed. You don’t want to water at night or you will get mold on your plants, but any time away from noon sun should help you save water on irrigating your garden.
If you don’t have time to stand around watering or remembering when to go outside for the best water conservation, put your sprinklers on a timer. You can buy one that go on a standard sprinkler. ___39___ Instead of wasting water soaking the whole garden, you can set your timer to water the thirsty plants longer, without wasting water or drowning the plants that don’t need that much.
You can also save water by growing drought-resistant plants. You can plant vegetables, flowers and trees that are native to your area. ___40___ We like to grow zucchini (西葫芦) even though no one really wants to eat it.

【36题详解】
根据上文“The weather blocking patterns created by climate change have caused increasing challenges for home gardeners. They have to deal with drought even if they don’t live in a traditionally dry climate. But, quite a few things can be done to save water on home garden.(气候变化造成的天气阻塞模式给家庭园丁带来了越来越多的挑战。即使他们不生活在传统的干燥气候中,他们也必须应对干旱。但是,有很多事情可以做来节约家庭花园的水)”以及后文主要就节约用水提出了一些建议可知,F选项“这里有一些适合一年四季和各种气候的小贴士”符合语境,承上启下。故选F。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Drip tape is the best way to save water on your home garden. It is a black hose (软管) you attach to your garden water source and then make holes where your plants are.(滴灌胶带是家庭花园节水的最好方法。它是一根黑色的软管,你把它连接到花园的水源上,然后在植物生长的地方打洞)”以及后文“So it can greatly reduce the watering needs and saves up to 80%of water from evaporation (蒸发).(因此,它可以大大减少浇水需求,并节省高达80%的蒸发水)”可知,上文提到了在软管上打洞,后文提到了可以减少浇水需求;由此推知,本句主要说明了打洞的作用。故B选项“水只流向需要的地方”符合语境,故选B。
【38题详解】
根据上文“If you live in a hot climate, you probably know that watering your garden in the morning will just make it evaporate in the hot sun.(如果你生活在炎热的气候中,你可能知道早上给花园浇水只会让它在炎热的阳光下蒸发)”可知,上文提到早上给花园浇水会导致水分蒸发,推测本句是在建议在没有太阳的时候给花园浇水,避免太多蒸发。故E选项“试着在日出之前给花园浇水”符合语境,故选E。
【39题详解】
根据上文“If you don’t have time to stand around watering or remembering when to go outside for the best water conservation, put your sprinklers on a timer. You can buy one that go on a standard sprinkler.(如果你没有时间站在旁边浇水,也没有时间记得什么时候出去最节约用水,那就把你的洒水器装上定时器。你可以买一个安装在标准洒水喷头上的)”以及后文“Instead of wasting water soaking the whole garden, you can set your timer to water the thirsty plants longer, without wasting water or drowning the plants that don’t need that much.(不要浪费水浸泡整个花园,你可以设置计时器,给口渴的植物浇水,这样既不会浪费水,也不会淹死不需要那么多水的植物)”可知,上文建议给洒水器装上定时器,后文提到这么做不会浪费水,也不会让植物淹死,推测本句是在说明这一做法的好处。故D选项“这是节约用水的绝佳选择”符合语境,故选D。
【40题详解】
根据上文“You can also save water by growing drought-resistant plants. You can plant vegetables, flowers and trees that are native to your area.(你也可以通过种植抗旱植物来节约用水。你可以种植当地的蔬菜、鲜花和树木)”可知,上文提到通过种植抗旱植物来节约用水,推测本句说明这类植物的特点,G选项中They指代上文vegetables, flowers and trees。故G选项“它们通常不需要很多额外的水或照顾”符合语境,故选G。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了悬空寺的独特位置和结构特点。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:几乎每个看到悬空寺的人都会想:1500多年来,它是如何牢牢地站在悬崖上的?句中已有谓语will wonder,空处作非谓语动词,see与其逻辑主语everyone之间是主动关系,应用现在分词形式作后置定语。故填seeing。
【57题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:有人认为这很大程度上要归功于支撑柱。空处是省略that引导的宾语从句中的谓语,根据think可知,句子使用一般现在时,主语是this,谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填owes。
【58题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:但实际上,它们是在悬空寺建成很久之后才添加的,以确保人们不担心它会倒塌。结合语意可知,支撑柱被添加是为了确保人们不担心它会倒塌,所以空处应用动词不定式形式作目的状语。填to make。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意为:这些悬臂的末端插入墙上钻的孔中。句中已有谓语are inserted,空处作非谓语动词,drill与逻辑主语the holes之间是被动关系,所以空处应用过去分词形式作后置定语。故填drilled。
【60题详解】
考查比较级句意:它们被钻得越深,它们固定得就越牢固。句子使用固定句型“the+比较级...,the+比较级...”,表示“越……,越……”,所以空处应用比较级形式more securely。填more。
【61题详解】
考查名词。句意:悬空寺的设计和选址是其保存的重要原因之一。空处与design并列,应用名词形式selection,表示“选择”,作句子主语。填selection。
【62题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:它位于悬崖的内凹处,外部像一把伞,使寺庙免受雨水和落石的影响。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰前边的整个句子,关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which引导从句。故填which。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:寺庙的高位置也防止了被洪水淹没的风险。空处作介词of的宾语,且结合语意,此处表示被洪水淹没,所以应用动名词的被动式形式being flooded作宾语。故填being flooded。
【64题详解】
考查介词。句意:当你远远地看到这座寺庙时,你可能会认为里面没有多少空间。根据空后afar以及后句中when you go inside可知,此处表示从远处看,应用介词from,符合题意。故填from。
【65题详解】
考查冠词。句意:但当你进去时,你会发现它拥有一座寺庙应该拥有的一切。结合语意可知,此处泛指一座寺庙,空处应用不定冠词表示泛指,temple是辅音音素开头的单词,应用不定冠词a。故填a。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Life was peaceful in the town of Willow Creek. But one chilly autumn morning, a new neighbor moved in across the street. He was a college student. He had brought with him a beer-pong table, which was set on his front lawn.
The beer-pong table was within full view of my kitchen window. It was a tool for the noisy, late-night parties by college students. I knew that all too well from once living near a university.
Remembering the sleepless nights caused by the sound of bouncing balls and the noises, I felt a burst of anger bubbling up like a storm. So I walked right up to the student’s house, and knocked on the door. I told him that it had to go. Instead of apologizing, he returned my anger in kind. “Who the hell are you?” he asked. “And what gives you the right to make such a ridiculous demand?”
His challenging gaze and aggressive tone added fuel to the flames of my anger. My sharp and cutting words hung in the air. I could feel the heat of my anger, and a red veil clouded my face.
The next day, I felt ashamed. Why didn’t other women get angry like me? Why couldn’t I keep it altogether? Why couldn’t I find some useful way to release the aggression?
I thought of the cookies I had made recently — big, peanut butter chocolate cookies. I had made them to apologize to a friend. Some of the dough was still in the freezer. I hadn’t intended to save the cookie dough balls for future apologies. But it was handy to have them sitting there, waiting to make things right. I decided to bake the cookies and offer them to my neighbor as a peace gesture. As the cookies baked, the house was filled with a warm, inviting smell. I placed the cookies on a plate, took a deep breath, and walked across the street.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The door opened, and I was greeted by a pair of curious eyes. I forced a smile and held out the plate of cookies. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to overstep yesterday. It’s just that memories of past disturbances made me react strongly,” I said softly, trying to convey my sincerity through my words and expression. He looked surprised at first, then he nodded slowly. “Yeah, I get it. College parties can be a bit much sometimes. And I’m sorry if I came off as rude. I guess I was on edge.”
We shared a smile, and I felt a weight lifted off my heart. In that moment, it seemed like the hostility from our last encounter had melted away, replaced by an unspoken agreement to try and coexist peacefully. “Maybe we can find a way to enjoy that table without disturbing everyone?” he suggested with a hopeful tone. I agreed wholeheartedly, feeling a sense of relief and community spirit rekindle within me. As we discussed possible solutions, I realized that sometimes a small act of kindness can go a long way in mending fences and bridging divides.
