If you go back in history far enough, you’ll come to a time when there were no clocks or watches. Shadow clocks, such as sundials, were a “hot” item around 1500 BC. But these were only useful during the daytime and only on sunny days. Soon better ways were invented.
Ancient Chinese knotted (打结) a rope in equal distance, and set it aflame. As fire passed each knot, a period of time was counted off. Later, they spaced weights evenly along the rope and placed a bell beneath it. As the rope burned, the weights would drop and “ring out” the time! Chinese could even smell time passing! Incense (香) was laid in a network-structured plate, with different types of incense for different hours. As the incense burned, they knew it was time to get up!
Another ancient clock is called sandglass — or hourglass. It uses the flow of sand to measure a specific amount of time. The earliest known hourglass dates back to ancient Egypt around the 14th century BC. In most cases, the available sand was too coarse to run smoothly inside these sandglasses, so powdered eggshells had been selected as an alternative.
Clocks using flowing water are called a clepsydra. It released a specified quantity of water from one container to another, taking a particular time to do so. Perhaps the earliest came from Egypt around 1600 BC. The Greek and Roman army also used water-clocks to measure shift-work like night watches. It was more reliable than oil lamp, but the water flow still depended on the variation of water pressure in the container.
Today highly accurate timekeeping instruments set the beat for most of our electronic devices and the search for further development continues.
24. In ancient China, time could be told by __________.
A bell volume B. rope weight C. incense smells D. knot size
25. What does the underlined word “coarse” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A Loose. B. Rough. C. Firm. D. Soft.
26. What might be a drawback of a clepsydra?
A. It was influenced by water pressure. B. It required constant attention.
C. It was less portable than the oil lamp. D. It had limited water capacity.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce varieties of ancient timers. B. To show respect for the greatness of time.
C. To compare the methods of marking time. D. To describe civilization of the old times.
C
Recently, African ports are expected to welcome a unique border-patrol (巡逻) “team” — Giant African Pouched Rats wearing small red vests. Relying on their remarkable sense of smell, they are about to play a crucial role in the fight against illegal wildlife trade.
In regions such as West Africa, the rich wildlife resources attract enormous tourists. However, poaching (偷猎) and smuggling (偷运) activities are pushing some species to the danger of extinction. Poachers, driven by huge profits, either capture animals for the illegal pet trade or cruelly kill elephants, rhinos, etc. to obtain ivory and rhino horns. These precious items are then smuggled to other countries for sale, severely disturbing local biodiversity.
Isabelle Szott, a behavioral ecologist, previously cooperated with the organization APOPO in Tanzania, which has successfully trained these rats for various tasks before, like detecting dangerous weapons and some infectious diseases. Given their excellent olfactory (嗅觉) ability, APOPO believes the rats also have great potential in port prevention and control.
Szott’s team carefully selected and trained 11 rats. In a specially-made training box in the laboratory, researchers placed different smell samples to teach the rats to identify the smells of poached animals. Each time a rat accurately detected the target smell and signaled, it received delicious food as a reward. After training, these rats can not only recognize the smells of elephant tusks, rhino horns and African blackwood, but also precisely distinguish them from 146 other smells.
Lab training is just the first step. Some rats then underwent field drills in simulated warehouses and real ports. When these rats get too old to work, they will “retire” honorably and enjoy their remaining years surrounded by fruits, vegetables, and dried fish. The involvement of Giant African Pouched Rats is expected to bring new hope to tackling wildlife poaching and smuggling.
28. Why are these rats a good choice for border-patrol?
A. They are out of extinction. B. They are sensitive to the smell.
C. They can maintain local biodiversity. D. They can distract poachers’ attention.
29. What tasks have the African Pouched Rats been trained for before?
A. Detecting threatening arms. B. Controlling wildlife products.
C. Protecting tourists in West Africa. D. Identifying different kinds of fruits.
30. How did the researchers train the 11 rats in the laboratory?
A. They satisfy the rats’ appetite as bonus. B. They taught the rats to fit in the real fields.
C. They let the rats play with different samples. D. They led the rats to track the poachers’ smells.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. New Hope Brought by APOPO for the Rats in Red Vests
B. Measures Taken to Prevent Poaching and Smuggling
C. The Remarkable Life of Giant African Pouched Rats
D. A New Force in Fighting Wildlife Smuggling
D
In work and in life, we are constantly taught that acting early is the key to success, because “he who hesitates is lost.” But surprisingly, as I’ve studied originals, I’ve learned that the advantages of acting quickly are often outweighed by the disadvantages. It’s true that the early bird gets the worm, but we can’t forget that the early worm gets caught.
Recently, an unusually creative doctoral student named Jihae Shin approached me with an idea contrary to common sense: procrastination (拖延) might be helpful to originality. Shin proposed that when you put off a task, you buy yourself time to engage in different thinking rather than on one particular idea. As a result, you consider a wider range of original concepts and ultimately choose a more novel direction. I challenged her to test it.
Shin asked college students to write proposals for a business to fill a lot vacated (空出) by a convenience store. When they started the task immediately, they tended to propose conventional ideas. When Shin randomly assigned some of the participants to procrastinate, putting off the task to play computer games like Minesweeper, FreeCell, and Solitaire, they produced more novel business ideas, like a tutoring center and a storage facility. The research suggested that the proposals from the procrastinators were 28 percent more creative.
Although we were excited by these results, the experiment showed that neither playing games nor taking a break boosted creativity. When people played the games first, before learning about the task, they didn’t submit more novel proposals. To do that, they needed to actually be procrastinating while playing the games, keeping the business proposal task in the back of their minds. Delaying progress enabled them to spend more time considering different ways to accomplish it, rather than “seizing and freezing” on one particular strategy.
Being original doesn’t require being first. It just means being different and better.
32. What do most people think about the key to success?
A. The quick-footed arrive first. B. Strike while the iron is hot.
C. The early worm gets caught. D. Actions speak louder than words.
33. How did Shin make his idea convinced?
A. By writing a proposal. B. By doing a questionnaire.
C. By interviewing the students. D. By conducting an experiment.
34. How can creativity be boosted according to the text?
A. Acting without hesitation. B. Playing computer games.
C. Taking a break before starting. D. Delaying with the task at heart.
35. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Early action is crucial to success. B. Procrastination may lead to originality.
C. Creativity can result in Delaying. D. Success is distinguished by original minds.

67. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In the beautiful town Riverview surrounded by rolling hills, lived two brothers, Jack and Tom.
They were as different as night and day-Jack, the older by two years, was a keen reader with a preference for quiet moments spent in academic books, his nose often buried in the pages of historical texts or scientific journals. Compared with him, Tom was totally different, full of energy and enthusiasm, always longing for the outdoors. He found joy that came from playing soccer and basketball. The differences between them often led to arguments, creating a gap that seemed impossible to bridge.
One summer, their parents, hoping to mend the growing divide between them, decided to send them on a camping trip in the nearby Blue Ridge Mountains. They thought that the fresh mountain air, coupled with outdoor activities, would bring them closer.
Unwillingly, the two brothers packed their bags, each secretly hoping that the other would give up at the last minute. But neither did, and soon enough, they found themselves setting up camp under a canopy(顶篷)of twinkling stars, the cool night breeze whispering through the trees.
The first few days were tense. They quarreled over insignificant matters-who should carry the water bottle, who got to choose the music during meals, and whose turn it was to gather firewood. Their unpleasant quarrel echoed through the quiet forest, breaking the peace that enveloped them. Each disagreement seemed to widen the crack between them until one evening when things took a dramatic turn.
A sudden storm rolled in. The wind howled through the trees, and rain began to pour. In the disorder of securing the tent and gathering supplies to prevent them from getting wet, Tom slipped on a muddy path and hurt his ankle badly. Struggling with extreme pain, he knew that he had to turn to Campsite medical tent.
注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡上相应位置作答。
Noticing his brother in such a situation, Jack’s heart softened immediately.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As Tom healed, the brothers worked together to complete the camping trip.

If you go back in history far enough you’ll come to a time when there were no clocks or watches. Shadow clocks, such as sundials, were a “hot” item around 1500 BC. But these were only useful during the daytime and only on sunny days. Soon better ways were invented.
Ancient Chinese knotted (打结) a rope in equal distance, and set it aflame. As fire passed each knot, a period of time was counted off. Later, they spaced weights evenly along the rope and placed a bell beneath it. As the rope burned, the weights would drop and “ring out” the time! Chinese could even smell time passing! Incense (香) was laid in a network-structured plate, with different types of incense for different hours. As the incense burned, they knew it was time to get up!
Another ancient clock is called sandglass — or hourglass. It uses the flow of sand to measure a specific amount of time. The earliest known hourglass dates back to ancient Egypt around the 14th century BC. In most cases, the available sand was too coarse to run smoothly inside these sandglasses, so powdered eggshells had been selected as an alternative.
Clocks using flowing water are called a clepsydra. It released a specified quantity of water from one container to another, taking a particular time to do so. Perhaps the earliest came from Egypt around 1600 BC. The Greek and Roman army also used water-clocks to measure shift-work like night watches. It was more reliable than oil lamp, but the water flow still depended on the variation of water pressure in the container.
Today highly accurate timekeeping instruments set the beat for most of our electronic devices and the search for further development continues.
24. In ancient China, time could be told by __________.
A. bell volume B. rope weight C. incense smells D. knot size
25. What does the underlined word “coarse” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Loose. B. Rough. C. Firm. D. Soft.
26. What might be a drawback of a clepsydra?
A. It was influenced by water pressure. B. It required constant attention.
C. It was less portable than the oil lamp. D. It had limited water capacity.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce varieties of ancient timers. B. To show respect for the greatness of time.
C. To compare the methods of marking time. D. To describe civilization of the old times.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了不同的古代计时工具,如日晷、结绳、焚香、沙漏以及水钟等。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Chinese could even smell time passing! Incense was laid in a network-structured plate, with different types of incense for different hours. As the incense burned, they knew it was time to get up! (中国人甚至可以闻到时间的流逝!香被放置在一个网状结构的盘子里,不同的香放置在不同的时间。当香烧起来的时候,他们知道该起床了)”可知,在古代中国,人们可以通过香的气味来判断时间。故选C项。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“to run smoothly inside these sandglasses, so powdered eggshells had been selected as an alternative. (在沙漏中顺利流动,所以蛋壳粉被选为替代品)”可推知,沙子粗糙才会影响其在沙漏中顺利流动,使得更为细腻的蛋壳粉成为替代品。因此,画线词意思是“粗糙的”,与Rough“(表面)粗糙的,不平的”意思相近。故选B项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“It was more reliable than oil lamp, but the water flow still depended on the variation of water pressure in the container. (它比油灯更可靠,但水流量仍然取决于容器内水压的变化)”可知,水钟的水流量依赖容器内水压的变化,这是它的一个缺点。故选A项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章介绍了不同的古代计时工具,如日晷、结绳、焚香、沙漏以及水钟等,整体围绕多种古代计时工具展开描述,详细说明了它们的工作原理、起源等信息。由此推知,作者的写作目的是介绍各种古代计时器。故选A项。

Recently, African ports are expected to welcome a unique border-patrol (巡逻) “team” — Giant African Pouched Rats wearing small red vests. Relying on their remarkable sense of smell, they are about to play a crucial role in the fight against illegal wildlife trade.
In regions such as West Africa, the rich wildlife resources attract enormous tourists. However, poaching (偷猎) and smuggling (偷运) activities are pushing some species to the danger of extinction. Poachers, driven by huge profits, either capture animals for the illegal pet trade or cruelly kill elephants, rhinos, etc. to obtain ivory and rhino horns. These precious items are then smuggled to other countries for sale, severely disturbing local biodiversity.
Isabelle Szott, a behavioral ecologist, previously cooperated with the organization APOPO in Tanzania, which has successfully trained these rats for various tasks before, like detecting dangerous weapons and some infectious diseases. Given their excellent olfactory (嗅觉) ability, APOPO believes the rats also have great potential in port prevention and control.
Szott’s team carefully selected and trained 11 rats. In a specially-made training box in the laboratory, researchers placed different smell samples to teach the rats to identify the smells of poached animals. Each time a rat accurately detected the target smell and signaled, it received delicious food as a reward. After training, these rats can not only recognize the smells of elephant tusks, rhino horns and African blackwood, but also precisely distinguish them from 146 other smells.
Lab training is just the first step. Some rats then underwent field drills in simulated warehouses and real ports. When these rats get too old to work, they will “retire” honorably and enjoy their remaining years surrounded by fruits, vegetables, and dried fish. The involvement of Giant African Pouched Rats is expected to bring new hope to tackling wildlife poaching and smuggling.
28. Why are these rats a good choice for border-patrol?
A. They are out of extinction. B. They are sensitive to the smell.
C. They can maintain local biodiversity. D. They can distract poachers’ attention.
29. What tasks have the African Pouched Rats been trained for before?
A. Detecting threatening arms. B. Controlling wildlife products.
C. Protecting tourists in West Africa. D. Identifying different kinds of fruits.
30. How did the researchers train the 11 rats in the laboratory?
A. They satisfy the rats’ appetite as bonus. B. They taught the rats to fit in the real fields.
C. They let the rats play with different samples. D. They led the rats to track the poachers’ smells.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. New Hope Brought by APOPO for the Rats in Red Vests
B. Measures Taken to Prevent Poaching and Smuggling
C. The Remarkable Life of Giant African Pouched Rats
D. A New Force in Fighting Wildlife Smuggling
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. A 31. D

In work and in life, we are constantly taught that acting early is the key to success, because “he who hesitates is lost.” But surprisingly, as I’ve studied originals, I’ve learned that the advantages of acting quickly are often outweighed by the disadvantages. It’s true that the early bird gets the worm, but we can’t forget that the early worm gets caught.
Recently, an unusually creative doctoral student named Jihae Shin approached me with an idea contrary to common sense: procrastination (拖延) might be helpful to originality. Shin proposed that when you put off a task, you buy yourself time to engage in different thinking rather than on one particular idea. As a result, you consider a wider range of original concepts and ultimately choose a more novel direction. I challenged her to test it.
Shin asked college students to write proposals for a business to fill a lot vacated (空出) by a convenience store. When they started the task immediately, they tended to propose conventional ideas. When Shin randomly assigned some of the participants to procrastinate, putting off the task to play computer games like Minesweeper, FreeCell, and Solitaire, they produced more novel business ideas, like a tutoring center and a storage facility. The research suggested that the proposals from the procrastinators were 28 percent more creative.
Although we were excited by these results, the experiment showed that neither playing games nor taking a break boosted creativity. When people played the games first, before learning about the task, they didn’t submit more novel proposals. To do that, they needed to actually be procrastinating while playing the games, keeping the business proposal task in the back of their minds. Delaying progress enabled them to spend more time considering different ways to accomplish it, rather than “seizing and freezing” on one particular strategy.
Being original doesn’t require being first. It just means being different and better.
32. What do most people think about the key to success?
A. The quick-footed arrive first. B. Strike while the iron is hot.
C The early worm gets caught. D. Actions speak louder than words.
33. How did Shin make his idea convinced?
A. By writing a proposal. B. By doing a questionnaire.
C. By interviewing the students. D. By conducting an experiment.
34. How can creativity be boosted according to the text?
A. Acting without hesitation. B. Playing computer games.
C. Taking a break before starting. D. Delaying with the task at heart.
35. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Early action is crucial to success. B. Procrastination may lead to originality.
C. Creativity can result in Delaying. D. Success is distinguished by original minds.
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了实验表明拖延可能对原创性有好处。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In work and in life, we are constantly taught that acting early is the key to success, because “he who hesitates is lost.”(在工作和生活中,我们经常被教导,及早行动是成功的关键,因为“犹豫不决的人会迷失方向”)”可知,大多数人认为成功的关键是及早行动,A项“捷足先登”符合题意。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I challenged her to test it.(我向她挑战,让她试一试)”和第三段内容以及第四段第一句中的“the experiment”可知,Shin通过做实验来验证自己的想法。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Recently, an unusually creative doctoral student named Jihae Shin approached me with an idea contrary to common sense: procrastination (拖延) might be helpful to originality.(最近,一位特别有创造性的博士生Jihae Shin向我提出了一个与常识相反的想法:拖延可能有助于原创性)”和第四段中的“To do that, they needed to actually be procrastinating while playing the games, keeping the business proposal task in the back of their minds.(要做到这一点,他们需要在玩游戏时拖延,把商业提案任务放在脑后)”可知,拖延对原创性有益,并指出,要激发创造力,需要把商业提案放在脑后,在玩游戏的时候拖延。由此可推测出,通过在心里拖延任务,可以激发创造力。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第二段中的“Recently, an unusually creative doctoral student named Jihae Shin approached me with an idea contrary to common sense: procrastination (拖延) might be helpful to originality.(最近,一位特别有创造性的博士生Jihae Shin向我提出了一个与常识相反的想法:拖延可能有助于原创性)”可知,本文主要讲述了拖延可能对原创性有好处。故选B。

Are you looking for a houseplant that serves as a dramatic background while purifying the air? Give Majesty Palm a try. Here are some tips to help you plant and take care of it.
Guarantee proper light. Majesty Palm is used to living under bigger trees in its natural habitat in Madagascar, making it tolerate indirect light. ___36___. Therefore, putting it near a sunny window to obtain enough indirect light would be your greatest bet.
Keep the soil wet. Growing it in poorly draining (排水的) soil that has plenty of clay is highly recommended. However, though it likes wet conditions, it will eventually rot if the roots stay constantly below the surface of water. ___37___ .
Keep the air humid. The Majesty Palm belongs to tropical plants, which requires humid air. ___38___ . If you happen to live in a home with cold, dry air, you can still grow it by keeping a humidifier in that room.
___39___ . Just like many other plants, Majesty Palm can grow better if you fertilize it properly. Simply fertilize it in spring and summer. Once winter comes with cooler and darker conditions, you do not need to fertilize it at all.
Repot when necessary. Although staying inside the living room all the time, your Majesty Palm can grow big and the pot won’t be able to hold it. ___40___ . You just need to increase the pot size by 2 inches and water it two days before repotting so that the soil becomes loose and it’s ready for the process.
A. Feed it appropriately
B. Select fertilizers carefully
C. Then, it is time to change the container
D. It has to learn how to survive in such areas
E. In short, extra water must be able to escape
F. That is to say, it is not a drought-tolerant plant
G. It doesn’t mean it loves to live in a dark area, though
【答案】36. G 37. E 38. F 39. A 40. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何种植室内植物“陛下棕榈”。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Majesty Palm is used to living under bigger trees in its natural habitat in Madagascar, making it tolerate indirect light.(在马达加斯加的自然栖息地,陛下棕榈习惯生活在较大的树下,这使它能够忍受间接的光线)”以及后文“Therefore, putting it near a sunny window to obtain enough indirect light would be your greatest bet.(因此,把它放在阳光充足的窗户附近,以获得足够的间接光线将是你最好的选择)”可知,本句与上文构成转折,指出陛下棕榈并不喜欢黑暗,要放在阳光充足的地方。故G选项“但这并不意味着它喜欢生活在黑暗的地方”符合语境,故选G。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Keep the soil wet. Growing it in poorly draining (排水的) soil that has plenty of clay is highly recommended. However, though it likes wet conditions, it will eventually rot if the roots stay constantly below the surface of water.(保持土壤湿润。强烈建议在排水不充分的土壤中种植,土壤中有大量的粘土。然而,尽管它喜欢潮湿的环境,但如果根部一直停留在水面以下,它最终会腐烂)”可知,上文提到根部一直停留在水面以下,它最终会腐烂,但是喜欢潮湿,本句为本段最后一句,故总结其如何浇水的问题。故E选项“简而言之,多余的水必须能够逸出”符合语境,故选E。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Keep the air humid. The Majesty Palm belongs to tropical plants, which requires humid air.(保持空气湿润。陛下棕榈属于热带植物,需要潮湿的空气)”可知,前后文提到需要潮湿的空气。由此可知,它不耐旱。故F选项“也就是说,它不是一种耐旱植物”符合语境,故选F。
【39题详解】
根据后文“Just like many other plants, Majesty Palm can grow better if you fertilize it properly. Simply fertilize it in spring and summer. Once winter comes with cooler and darker conditions, you do not need to fertilize it at all.(就像许多其他植物一样,如果你给它适当的施肥,它也能长得更好。只需在春季和夏季施肥即可。一旦冬天来了,天气又冷又暗,你就根本不需要施肥了)”可知,本段主要说明了如何施肥的问题——需要适当施肥,A选项Feed it appropriately对应后文fertilize it properly。故A选项“适当喂养”符合语境,故选A。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Repot when necessary. Although staying inside the living room all the time, your Majesty Palm can grow big and the pot won’t be able to hold it.(必要时换盆。虽然一直呆在客厅里,但陛下棕榈会长得很大,花盆也装不下了)”可知,上文提到花盆装不下,结合“必要时换盆”可知需要换容器了,故C选项“然后,是时候换容器了”符合语境,故选C。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国丰富的冬季传统中的冰嬉表演,冰嬉由庆祝冬季的一种方式发展而来,发展成独特表演艺术,融合了滑冰、高速赛跑、杂技和戏曲舞蹈。
【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意:清代宫廷画家姚文瀚和张为邦创作的《冰嬉图》长578厘米,是一幅引人注目的作品,现藏于北京故宫博物院。空处表示泛指,意为“一幅578厘米长的作品”,应用不定冠词,且578的发音以辅音音素开头,应用a。故填a。
【57题详解】
考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:清代宫廷画家姚文瀚和张为邦创作的《冰嬉图》长578厘米,是一幅引人注目的作品,现藏于北京故宫博物院。空处作句子的谓语,此处在描述当前的情况,时态应用一般现在时,house“收藏存放”和主语Ice Games Painting之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,且主语是单数,be动词应用is。故填is housed。
【58题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:它描绘了许多几百年前在冰上可以看到的比赛和运动,其中你会发现冰嬉。空处和空前的among搭配,形成“介词+关系代词”的结构,引导非限制性定语从句,对先行词a number of competitions and sports作补充说明,先行词指物,作介词among的宾语,因此关系代词应用which。故填which。
【59题详解】
考查副词。句意:这项运动最初是作为庆祝冬季的一种方式发展起来的,后来发展成为一种独特的表演艺术。空处修饰动词Developed,应用initial的副词形式initially,意为“最初”。故填initially。
【60题详解】
考查名词。句意:它呈现了优美的滑冰、高速赛跑、杂技和戏曲舞蹈的完美结合。空处作presented的宾语,被perfect修饰,combine的名词形式combination符合题意,意为“结合”。故填combination。
【61题详解】
考查连词。句意:它呈现了优美的滑冰、高速赛跑、杂技和戏曲舞蹈的完美结合。空处连接前后的名词成分,它们之间是并列关系,应用并列连词and。故填and。
【62题详解】
考查形容词。句意:传统上,这项运动在冰封的河流和湖泊上进行。空处作修饰rivers and lakes的定语,freeze的形容词形式frozen符合题意,意为“冰封的,冰冻的”。故填frozen。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意:表演者们穿着传统的中国服装,这些服装的设计不仅是为了视觉上的吸引力,也是为了确保行动的自由,让表演者们可以轻松地在冰上滑行。根据“were designed not just”和“visual appeal”可知,此处应用短语be designed for表示“为……所设计”。故填for。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:表演者们穿着传统的中国服装,这些服装的设计不仅是为了视觉上的吸引力,也是为了确保行动的自由,让表演者们可以轻松地在冰上滑行。allow sb. to do sth.是固定用法,表示“允许某人做某事”。故填to slide。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:以冰嬉表演为特色的活动和展览虽然很少,但往往是更广泛的节日的一部分,旨在复兴和庆祝中国传统的体育和艺术。句子已有谓语,空处是非谓语,作Events and exhibitions的后置定语,feature“以……为特色,以……为主要组成”和Events and exhibitions逻辑上是主动关系,因此用feature的现在分词形式。故填featuring。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In the beautiful town Riverview surrounded by rolling hills, lived two brothers, Jack and Tom.
They were as different as night and day-Jack, the older by two years, was a keen reader with a preference for quiet moments spent in academic books, his nose often buried in the pages of historical texts or scientific journals. Compared with him, Tom was totally different, full of energy and enthusiasm, always longing for the outdoors. He found joy that came from playing soccer and basketball. The differences between them often led to arguments, creating a gap that seemed impossible to bridge.
One summer, their parents, hoping to mend the growing divide between them, decided to send them on a camping trip in the nearby Blue Ridge Mountains. They thought that the fresh mountain air, coupled with outdoor activities, would bring them closer.
Unwillingly, the two brothers packed their bags, each secretly hoping that the other would give up at the last minute. But neither did, and soon enough, they found themselves setting up camp under a canopy(顶篷)of twinkling stars, the cool night breeze whispering through the trees.
The first few days were tense. They quarreled over insignificant matters-who should carry the water bottle, who got to choose the music during meals, and whose turn it was to gather firewood. Their unpleasant quarrel echoed through the quiet forest, breaking the peace that enveloped them. Each disagreement seemed to widen the crack between them until one evening when things took a dramatic turn.
A sudden storm rolled in. The wind howled through the trees, and rain began to pour. In the disorder of securing the tent and gathering supplies to prevent them from getting wet, Tom slipped on a muddy path and hurt his ankle badly. Struggling with extreme pain, he knew that he had to turn to Campsite medical tent.
注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡上相应位置作答。
Noticing his brother in such a situation, Jack’s heart softened immediately.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As Tom healed, the brothers worked together to complete the camping trip.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Noticing his brother in such a situation, Jack’s heart softened immediately. Forgetting their previous disputes, he rushed to Tom’s side, carefully lifting him up and supporting him as they made their way to the medical tent. Inside, Jack gently laid Tom down and helped him apply an ice pack to his injured ankle. Jack’s actions spoke louder than words, showing Tom that despite their differences, he cared deeply for his brother’s well-being. For the first time in a long while, Tom felt a warmth that transcended their disagreements.
As Tom healed, the brothers worked together to complete the camping trip. They shared responsibilities more evenly, finding joy in tasks they once viewed as burdensome. Jack took charge of navigating through the forest trails while Tom, despite his injury, offered encouragement and moral support. As the days went by, their bond grew stronger, and they realized that despite their contrasting interests, they could still find common ground. By the end of the trip, the gap that once seemed impossible to bridge had narrowed significantly, replaced by a deeper understanding and appreciation for each other.
