It was the last thing I wanted to do and it’s one reason why I pursued science in the first place. In high school, I hated writing essays. For hours, I stared at blank pages, trying to turn my scattered thoughts into fluent sentences and I often received papers marked with numerous corrections. I began to wonder if I was simply not cut out for writing. And that was OK. I didn’t have to be good at everything. I focused instead on my love for math and science. I took comfort there, knowing objective truth could be found if I searched methodically. In college, I studied engineering and joined a research lab to gain hands-on experience. My first project was to improve the efficiency of a magnetic component. Despite initial disappointing results, I continued through numerous designs. Eventually, we developed a design that halved energy losses. I was delighted — until my professor told me to write that research paper. I knew that if I wanted to become a researcher, I would need to spend time penning papers. But I was scared of failing. In a panic, I asked a graduate student in my lab for help. We defined a goal for the paper, and I carefully wrote an outline. But when I asked him for feedback, I soon found the paper covered in red marks. He explained that red didn’t mean I was a bad writer. Writing isn’t a one-and-done thing. It requires revising your work, often several times. Suddenly it occurred to me, “Hadn’t I done the same thing when I was searching for an efficient design?” I polished my paper’s outline into sentences and paragraphs, guided by feedback. Though my first draft wasn’t perfect, with help, I enjoyed the process of improving it. Writing has since become one of my favorite parts of research, helping me organize my thoughts. I’ve even started writing popular science articles, which I never could have imagined during my early struggles with essays. 4. What did the author initially think of writing? A. A piece of cake. B. A ray of sunshine. C. A nut hard to crack. D. A diamond in the rough. 5. What was the author’s main challenge in the research project? A. Designing the magnetic component. B. Cooperating with the research team. C. Collecting the experimental data. D. Writing the research paper. 6. What did the author learn from her writing and research? A. Both require trial and error. B. Both consume time and money. C. Both offer promotion and reputation. D. Both involve burden and stress. 7. What helped the author improve writing? A. Discovering objective standards in writing. B. Following good examples of other students. C. Publishing several academic papers successfully. D. Constantly working on writing and improving. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者从厌恶写作到爱上写作的转变过程。尽管起初在写作上遇到重重困难，且对写作课感到沮丧，作者却在工科研究中找到了自信。通过不断尝试与修正磁性组件设计，作者领悟到写作亦如科研，需反复打磨。最终，在他人的帮助下，作者不仅克服了写作恐惧，还开始享受这一组织思考的过程，并涉足科普文章写作。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“For hours, I stared at blank pages, trying to turn my scattered thoughts into fluent sentences and I often received papers marked with numerous corrections.(一连几个小时，我盯着空白的纸，试图把我零散的想法变成流利的句子，我经常收到批改很多的试卷)”可推知，写作对作者来说是一件很难攻克的事。“A nut hard to crack”表示棘手的难题，符合作者最初对写作的看法。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段内容“Despite initial disappointing results, I continued through numerous designs. Eventually, we developed a design that halved energy losses. I was delighted — until my professor told me to write that research paper.(最终，我们开发了一种能将能量损失减半的设计。我很高兴——直到我的教授让我写那篇研究论文)”可知，在项目中先是致力于提高磁性组件的效率等工作，本来取得成果挺高兴的，但教授让写研究论文这件事让作者犯难了，后面也围绕写论文遇到的困难等展开描述，所以主要挑战是需要写研究论文。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。从文中作者描述写作的过程，先是花费很多时间艰难构思，多次修改，以及在做研究时也是经过多次设计尝试才取得好的成果，最后倒数第二段中提到“Suddenly it occurred to me, ‘Hadn’t I done the same thing when I was searching for an efficient design?(我突然想到，‘当我在寻找一个有效的设计时，我不是也做过同样的事情吗？’)”，意识到写作和研究有相似之处，都需要反复尝试、不断试错。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“I polished my paper’s outline into sentences and paragraphs, guided by feedback. Though my first draft wasn’t perfect, with help, I enjoyed the process of improving it.(在反馈的指导下，我把论文的提纲润色成句子和段落。虽然我的初稿并不完美，但在别人的帮助下，我很享受改进它的过程)”可知，作者在反馈的引导下不断完善论文的大纲，使其变成句子和段落，尽管初稿不完美，但享受改进的过程，也就是通过不断坚持写作以及根据反馈不断修正来提升写作水平。故选D。 C A can of soft drink and two large eggs may have a similar number of calories, but the eggs will provide us with protein, vitamins and other nutrients, and satisfy our hunger, while a fizzy drink provides little more than calories. The important concept here is nutrient density (密度), which refers to the number of nutrients we take in for each calorie consumed. No one would suggest replacing sweet drinks with eggs, but what can we do to increase nutrient density in our diet? “Have you had your five a day?” on British supermarket shelves is a reminder to customers to ensure they are eating at least five slices of fruits and vegetables per day, promoting a healthy diet. Many countries have launched similar campaigns to encourage people to eat more healthily. Fresh, natural produce is usually very dense in nutrients. Eating a wide range of fruits and vegetables is important, so some advice focuses on including different colors of food in our diets. “Eating a rainbow” could be one way to get more nutrients. Other advice recommends that we should be more adventurous in what we eat. Cooking food that we haven’t eaten before can lead us to use ingredients that we don’t usually consume. This can give us a wider range of nutrients. It’s not just about fruit and vegetables. Even flavorings such as garlic, ginger or turmeric can have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, while also leading people to use less salt. Dairy products such as milk and cheese, are high in calcium, while in limited amounts, meat can be a good source of protein. If you’re not feeling that adventurous, then swapping food items can be beneficial. Choosing wholegrain bread or rice instead of white bread or rice can increase fibre intake. Unsalted nuts provide more nutrients than snacks such as crisps. Possibly surprisingly, popcorn is a wholegrain snack that is high in fibre. So, fresh fruit and vegetables, swapping the worst things, and just a little bit more adventure could be the secret to a more nutritious diet. 8. What does “Eating a rainbow” suggest? A. Focusing on low-calorie foods. B. Avoiding white and black foods. C. Adding variously colored foods to what we eat. D. Including rainbow-colored snacks in our diets. 9. What can happen if we are more adventurous in our food choices? A. We reduce calories in our diets. B. We eat more fruits and vegetables. C. We consume more unhealthy food. D. We gain access to diverse nutrients. 10. Which of the following is the healthiest swap? A. Swapping white rice for wholegrain rice. B. Swapping two eggs for a can of soft drink. C. Swapping popcorn for wholegrain bread. D. Swapping unsalted nuts for white bread. 11. Which of the following serves as the best title? A. Eating a balanced diet is essential B. Nutrient density is key to a healthy diet C. Eggs are a better choice than sugary drinks D. Fruits and vegetables are always the best choice 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讨论了营养密度的概念，提到通过选择富含营养的食物（如水果、蔬菜、全谷物等）来提高饮食的营养密度，进而促进健康。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Eating a wide range of fruits and vegetables is important, so some advice focuses on including different colors of food in our diets. “Eating a rainbow” could be one way to get more nutrients.(吃各种各样的水果和蔬菜很重要，所以一些建议侧重于在我们的饮食中加入不同颜色的食物。“Eating a rainbow”可能是获得更多营养的一种方法)”可推知，这里强调通过在饮食中加入不同颜色的食物来获取更多营养。故选C。 9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Cooking food that we haven’t eaten before can lead us to use ingredients that we don’t usually consume. This can give us a wider range of nutrients.(烹饪我们以前没有吃过的食物会导致我们使用我们通常不吃的食材。这可以给我们提供更广泛的营养)”可知，通过尝试新食物，可以获取更多种类的营养。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Choosing wholegrain bread or rice instead of white tread or rice can increase fibre intake. Unsalted nuts provide more nutrients than snacks such as crisps.(选择全麦面包或大米代替白面包或大米可以增加纤维的摄入量。不加盐的坚果比薯片等零食提供更多的营养)”可知，选择粗粮代替白米饭是最健康的选择。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“The important concept here is nutrient density (密度), which refers to the number of nutrients we take in for each calorie consumed. No one would suggest replacing sweet drinks with eggs, but what can we do to increase nutrient density in our diet?(这里重要的概念是营养密度，它指的是我们每消耗一卡路里所摄入的营养物质的数量。没有人会建议用鸡蛋代替甜饮料，但是我们能做些什么来增加我们饮食中的营养密度呢？)”可知，文章讨论了营养密度的概念，提到通过选择富含营养的食物（如水果、蔬菜、全谷物等）来提高饮食的营养密度，进而促进健康。B项“营养密度是健康饮食的关键”为最佳标题，故选B。 D In early August, the sandy hills along the coast of La Libertad, in northern Peru, are alive with bluish-purple fruit. The region, thought unsuitable for blueberries just over a decade ago, is now placing Peru at the forefront of the global blueberry market. Alvaro Espinoza, an agricultural engineer, was among the first to experiment with blueberries in Peru 15 years ago, when the fruit was unknown in the country. “People called me crazy,” he recalls. Since then, Peru’s blueberry industry has been growing rapidly, from planting only a few hundred acres of blueberries in 2012 to the world’s top exporter of fresh blueberries for the last five years. Inspired by the success of their Chilean neighbors, Peruvian entrepreneurs began exploring a local blueberry market in the early 2000s. However, conventional wisdom held that blueberries needed temperatures below 45℉ to thrive, which the Peruvian coast lacks. Peruvian entrepreneur Carlos Gereda, a pioneer in the industry, began traveling to Chile in 2006 to learn about blueberries. On one of his trips, he brought back 14 varieties to test in Peru’s desert. It took him two years to find the right one, named Biloxi. With this variety identified, he invested $300 to start a company that became a Peruvian blueberry leader, helping Peru’s blueberry industry expand to over 49,000acres. Today, Peru exports over twice as many blueberries as its nearest competitors, with over half heading to the US, where the country supplies 40% of fresh imports. But last year, this boom faced its first setback. A major heat wave driven by an El Nino event hit northern Peru, severely damaging blueberry crops and causing a 25% drop in production. This experience has accelerated efforts to develop new, genetically improved blueberry varieties that can thrive in even hotter climates. To create these robust varieties, scientists develop new seeds and evaluate them over years to select the best individuals. They aim to create beat-tolerant plants and produce “jumbo” berries-one inch or larger-to meet global demand. 12. Why did people initially think blueberries couldn’t row in Peru? A. The soil was too salty for blueberries. B. The climate was thought to be unsuitable. C. Peru lacked the right equipment for farming. D. Blueberries were unknown to people in the country. 13. How did Carlos Gerda contribute to Peru’s blueberry industry? A. He promoted Pera’s blueberries in global markets. B. He found a suitable blueberry variety for Peruvian climate. C. He carried out researches into blueberry farming in the US. D. He created heat-tolerant plants and produced “jumbo” berries. 14. What major challenge did Peru’s blueberry industry face last year? A. A shortage of new blueberry varieties. B. A new competitor entering the market. C. Unusually hot temperature reducing the blueberry output. D. A significant decrease in global demand for fresh blueberries. 15. What does the undealined word “robust” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Fast-growing B. Good-quality. C. High in demand. D. Strong and adaptable. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。秘鲁蓝莓产业快速增长，成为全球最大出口国，尽管面临气候变化带来的挑战，科学家们正在开发耐热的蓝莓新品种以应对未来的气候变化。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“However, conventional wisdom held that blueberries needed temperatures below 45℉ to thrive, which the Peruvian coast lacks. (然而，传统观念认为，蓝莓需要在45华氏度以下的温度中才能茁壮成长，而秘鲁海岸并不具备这样的条件。)”可知，人们最初认为蓝莓不能在秘鲁生长是因为人们认为气候不适宜。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Peruvian entrepreneur Carlos Gereda, a pioneer in the industry, began traveling to Chile in 2006 to learn about blueberries. On one of his trips, he brought back 14 varieties to test in Peru’s desert. It took him two years to find the right one, named Biloxi. (秘鲁企业家Carlos Gereda是该行业的先驱，从2006年开始前往智利学习蓝莓种植技术。在一次旅行中，他带回了14个品种，在秘鲁的沙漠中进行测试。他花了两年时间才找到了合适的品种，即名为Biloxi的蓝莓。)”可知，Carlos Gereda找到了适合秘鲁气候的蓝莓品种，为秘鲁蓝莓产业做出贡献。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“But last year, this boom faced its first setback. A major heat wave driven by an El Nino event hit northern Peru, severely damaging blueberry crops and causing a 25% drop in production. (然而，去年，这一繁荣景象遭遇了首次挫折。一场由厄尔尼诺现象引发的热浪袭击了秘鲁北部，严重损害了蓝莓作物，导致产量下降了25%。)”可知，去年异常高温导致蓝莓产量下降。故选C。 【15题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中的“To create these robust varieties, scientists develop new seeds and evaluate them over years to select the best individuals. They aim to create beat-tolerant plants and produce “jumbo” berries-one inch or larger-to meet global demand. (为了创造这些robust品种，科学家们开发了新的种子，并经过数年的评估，以选择出最优秀的个体。他们的目标是培育出耐热植物，并产出“巨型”蓝莓——直径达到或超过一英寸，以满足全球市场的需求。)”可知，这里指的是能够在极端气候条件下生长并且恢复的能力，即强大且具有适应性的植物。因此，robust意思是“健壮的，适应性强的”，与选项D“strong and adaptable (强壮且适应性强)”意思相符。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Love is a powerful emotion that makes the world go round.

For instance, when Emily practiced playing the piano, he would sit beside her and randomly press the keys, even though he was in fact a total stranger to music. Each time, Emily would feel a bit annoyed, wondering if he could find something else to do. This time, it was Tom’s first week at swimming lessons, while Emily had been swimming for two years. Emily stood by the poolside, waiting for her tum to demonstrate freestyle swimming. She frowned as she watched Tom across the pool. Couldn’t he find his own activity? “Emily, it’s your turn!” Coach Susan called out. Emily dove into the water and swam a graceful lap, earning applause from the coach and other kids. Emily noticed that Tom had wandered away from the beginners’ group to watch her swim. “Tom!” his instructor, Coach Mark, called from across the pool. Tom seemed not to hear. Only after being called three times did he slowly return to his group. It was Tom’s turn to try floating. He looked extremely nervous. When he attempted to float, he accidentally took in some water, causing surprise and laughter among the other children. Feeling embarrassed, Tom ran towards the changing room. He was gone from the pool area, just as Emily had wished. But this time, it didn’t feel right. After informing Coach Susan where she was going, Emily hurried to the changing room. She found Tom crying. Seeing Eaily, Tom cried even harder. “I don’t want to take swimming lessons anymore,” he sniffled. This was Emily’s chance. If she said nothing. Tom might quit swimming forever. “Tom, everyone finds things difficult at first,” Emily said gently. “When I started swimming, I choked on water too. But you shouldn’t give up because of one mistake. We can practice together, and I’ll help you get better.” Hearing Emily’s words, Tom eventually stopped crying and nodded. The siblings held hands and returned to the poolside, ready to face new challenges together. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Standing by the poolside, Tom appeared more relaxed but still somewhat nervous. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “You see, you can do it!” Emily encouraged. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Standing by the poolside, Tom appeared more relaxed but still somewhat nervous. Emily decided the best way to help him was by staying close. “I’ll be right here with you, Tom,” she assured him. Tom took a deep breath and eased into the water, with Emily holding his hand. Coach Mark gave a supportive nod. With Emily’s guidance and encouragement, Tom began to float more confidently. His initial fear started to fade as he felt the water’s buoyancy supporting him. Emily smiled warmly and whispered, “You’re doing great, Tom. Just keep going.” “You see, you can do it!” Emily encouraged. Tom managed a shy smile as he floated steadily. Coach Mark and the other children cheered for him, making him feel proud and accomplished. Although his technique was not perfect, he tried his best, relying on Emily’s constant support. Over the weeks, Tom’s confidence grew, and he became more comfortable with swimming. Emily was proud of her little brother and realized that helping him succeed gave her a sense of fulfillment. They both learned that perseverance and encouragement were key to overcoming challenges. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。在生活中，汤姆总是模仿姐姐艾米丽。在游泳课上，汤姆因不会漂浮而喝水受嘲笑，跑回更衣室哭泣，想放弃学游泳，这是艾米丽的机会，如果艾米丽什么也不说，汤姆肯定放弃游泳了。但是艾米丽安慰他，分享自己初学时也曾呛水，并承诺会帮助汤姆进步。最终，两人携手回到泳池，共同面对挑战。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“站在池边，汤姆看起来更放松了，但还是有点紧张。”可知，第一段可以描写在艾米丽的帮助下，汤姆逐渐学会漂浮的过程。 ②由第二段句首内容“‘你看，你能做到的！’艾米丽鼓励道。”可知，第二段可以描写汤姆在游泳方面取得的进步和感悟。 2.续写线索：汤姆还是紧张—艾米丽的指导和鼓励—漂浮起来—能做到—信心增强—感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①保证：assure/guarantee ②依靠：rely on/depend on/count on ③克服：overcome/conquer/defeat 情绪类 ①以……为自豪：be proud of/take pride in ②害怕：fear/terror/fright 【点睛】【高分句型1】Emily decided the best way to help him was by staying close.

In high school, I hated writing essays. For hours, I stared at blank pages, trying to turn my scattered thoughts into fluent sentences and I often received papers marked with numerous corrections. I began to wonder if I was simply not cut out for writing. And that was OK. I didn’t have to be good at everything. I focused instead on my love for math and science. I took comfort there, knowing objective truth could be found if I searched methodically. In college, I studied engineering and joined a research lab to gain hands-on experience. My first project was to improve the efficiency of a magnetic component. Despite initial disappointing results, I continued through numerous designs. Eventually, we developed a design that halved energy losses. I was delighted — until my professor told me to write that research paper. I knew that if I wanted to become a researcher, I would need to spend time penning papers. But I was scared of failing. In a panic, I asked a graduate student in my lab for help. We defined a goal for the paper, and I carefully wrote an outline. But when I asked him for feedback, I soon found the paper covered in red marks. He explained that red didn’t mean I was a bad writer. Writing isn’t a one-and-done thing. It requires revising your work, often several times. Suddenly it occurred to me, “Hadn’t I done the same thing when I was searching for an efficient design?” I polished my paper’s outline into sentences and paragraphs, guided by feedback. Though my first draft wasn’t perfect, with help, I enjoyed the process of improving it. Writing has since become one of my favorite parts of research, helping me organize my thoughts. I’ve even started writing popular science articles, which I never could have imagined during my early struggles with essays. 4. What did the author initially think of writing? A. A piece of cake. B. A ray of sunshine. C. A nut hard to crack. D. A diamond in the rough. 5. What was the author’s main challenge in the research project? A. Designing the magnetic component. B. Cooperating with the research team. C. Collecting the experimental data. D. Writing the research paper. 6. What did the author learn from her writing and research? A. Both require trial and error. B. Both consume time and money. C. Both offer promotion and reputation. D. Both involve burden and stress. 7. What helped the author improve writing? A. Discovering objective standards in writing. B. Following good examples of other students. C. Publishing several academic papers successfully. D. Constantly working on writing and improving. C A can of soft drink and two large eggs may have a similar number of calories, but the eggs will provide us with protein, vitamins and other nutrients, and satisfy our hunger, while a fizzy drink provides little more than calories. The important concept here is nutrient density (密度), which refers to the number of nutrients we take in for each calorie consumed. No one would suggest replacing sweet drinks with eggs, but what can we do to increase nutrient density in our diet? “Have you had your five a day?” on British supermarket shelves is a reminder to customers to ensure they are eating at least five slices of fruits and vegetables per day, promoting a healthy diet. Many countries have launched similar campaigns to encourage people to eat more healthily. Fresh, natural produce is usually very dense in nutrients. Eating a wide range of fruits and vegetables is important, so some advice focuses on including different colors of food in our diets. “Eating a rainbow” could be one way to get more nutrients. Other advice recommends that we should be more adventurous in what we eat. Cooking food that we haven’t eaten before can lead us to use ingredients that we don’t usually consume. This can give us a wider range of nutrients. It’s not just about fruit and vegetables. Even flavorings such as garlic, ginger or turmeric can have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, while also leading people to use less salt. Dairy products such as milk and cheese, are high in calcium, while in limited amounts, meat can be a good source of protein. If you’re not feeling that adventurous, then swapping food items can be beneficial. Choosing wholegrain bread or rice instead of white bread or rice can increase fibre intake. Unsalted nuts provide more nutrients than snacks such as crisps. Possibly surprisingly, popcorn is a wholegrain snack that is high in fibre. So, fresh fruit and vegetables, swapping the worst things, and just a little bit more adventure could be the secret to a more nutritious diet. 8. What does “Eating a rainbow” suggest? A. Focusing on low-calorie foods. B. Avoiding white and black foods. C. Adding variously colored foods to what we eat. D. Including rainbow-colored snacks in our diets. 9.

Fruits and vegetables are always the best choice D In early August, the sandy hills along the coast of La Libertad, in northern Peru, are alive with bluish-purple fruit. The region, thought unsuitable for blueberries just over a decade ago, is now placing Peru at the forefront of the global blueberry market. Alvaro Espinoza, an agricultural engineer, was among the first to experiment with blueberries in Peru 15 years ago, when the fruit was unknown in the country. “People called me crazy,” he recalls. Since then, Peru’s blueberry industry has been growing rapidly, from planting only a few hundred acres of blueberries in 2012 to the world’s top exporter of fresh blueberries for the last five years. Inspired by the success of their Chilean neighbors, Peruvian entrepreneurs began exploring a local blueberry market in the early 2000s. However, conventional wisdom held that blueberries needed temperatures below 45℉ to thrive, which the Peruvian coast lacks. Peruvian entrepreneur Carlos Gereda, a pioneer in the industry, began traveling to Chile in 2006 to learn about blueberries. On one of his trips, he brought back 14 varieties to test in Peru’s desert. It took him two years to find the right one, named Biloxi. With this variety identified, he invested $300 to start a company that became a Peruvian blueberry leader, helping Peru’s blueberry industry expand to over 49,000acres. Today, Peru exports over twice as many blueberries as its nearest competitors, with over half heading to the US, where the country supplies 40% of fresh imports. But last year, this boom faced its first setback. A major heat wave driven by an El Nino event hit northern Peru, severely damaging blueberry crops and causing a 25% drop in production. This experience has accelerated efforts to develop new, genetically improved blueberry varieties that can thrive in even hotter climates. To create these robust varieties, scientists develop new seeds and evaluate them over years to select the best individuals. They aim to create beat-tolerant plants and produce “jumbo” berries-one inch or larger-to meet global demand. 12. Why did people initially think blueberries couldn’t row in Peru? A. The soil was too salty for blueberries. B. The climate was thought to be unsuitable. C. Peru lacked the right equipment for farming. D. Blueberries were unknown to people in the country. 13. How did Carlos Gerda contribute to Peru’s blueberry industry? A. He promoted Pera’s blueberries in global markets. B. He found a suitable blueberry variety for Peruvian climate. C. He carried out researches into blueberry farming in the US. D. He created heat-tolerant plants and produced “jumbo” berries. 14. What major challenge did Peru’s blueberry industry face last year? A. A shortage of new blueberry varieties. B A new competitor entering the market. C. Unusually hot temperature reducing the blueberry output. D. A significant decrease in global demand for fresh blueberries. 15. What does the undealined word “robust” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Fast-growing B. Good-quality. C. High in demand. D. Strong and adaptable. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Love is a powerful emotion that makes the world go round.

For instance, when Emily practiced playing the piano, he would sit beside her and randomly press the keys, even though he was in fact a total stranger to music. Each time, Emily would feel a bit annoyed, wondering if he could find something else to do. This time, it was Tom’s first week at swimming lessons, while Emily had been swimming for two years. Emily stood by the poolside, waiting for her tum to demonstrate freestyle swimming. She frowned as she watched Tom across the pool. Couldn’t he find his own activity? “Emily, it’s your turn!” Coach Susan called out. Emily dove into the water and swam a graceful lap, earning applause from the coach and other kids. Emily noticed that Tom had wandered away from the beginners’ group to watch her swim. “Tom!” his instructor, Coach Mark, called from across the pool. Tom seemed not to hear. Only after being called three times did he slowly return to his group. It was Tom’s turn to try floating. He looked extremely nervous. When he attempted to float, he accidentally took in some water, causing surprise and laughter among the other children. Feeling embarrassed, Tom ran towards the changing room. He was gone from the pool area, just as Emily had wished. But this time, it didn’t feel right. After informing Coach Susan where she was going, Emily hurried to the changing room. She found Tom crying. Seeing Eaily, Tom cried even harder. “I don’t want to take swimming lessons anymore,” he sniffled. This was Emily’s chance. If she said nothing. Tom might quit swimming forever. “Tom, everyone finds things difficult at first,” Emily said gently. “When I started swimming, I choked on water too. But you shouldn’t give up because of one mistake. We can practice together, and I’ll help you get better.” Hearing Emily’s words, Tom eventually stopped crying and nodded. The siblings held hands and returned to the poolside, ready to face new challenges together. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Standing by the poolside, Tom appeared more relaxed but still somewhat nervous. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “You see, you can do it!” Emily encouraged. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
