阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
They don’t always get a proper place in the history books, but women have played a key role in wilderness exploration, the protection of the natural environment and our understanding of nature.
Caroline Dormon turned her degree in literature into a job with the Louisiana forestry department. Using opportunities provided by this job, she convinced the government to set aside land for a national forest in her home state. The result? Kisatchie National Forest was established in 1930. Dormon was also an author, writing books about trees, flowers, birds, and Native American culture.
Annie Montague Alexander was born in Hawaii into a family that made their fortune with sugar. In her younger years, she traveled widely, training as a painter in Paris and studying nursing. Later, she became interested in paleontology (古生物学). She used her wealth to provide money for exploration, but unlike other benefactors (赞助人), she went along with the scientists when they went out into the wilderness.
Hallie Daggett was the first woman to work as a fire lookout for the U. S. Forest Service. Born in 1878 Daggett was a perfect outdoorswoman who could hunt, fish, and survive in the wild. She needed these skills for her job watching out for wildfires in Klamath National Forest. Daggett worked alone at a lookout post on a nearly 6,500-foot peak. The post could only be reached on foot, and the climb from the base outpost took three hours.
Anna Botsford Comstock is best known for her nature illustrations (插图). Anyone who enjoyed taking nature field trips in school owes a thank you to her. Comstock also pushed for outdoor education in public schools in New York after seeing how well her students at Cornell University — where she was the university’ s first female professor — responded to spending class time seeing the subjects of their study in their natural environment.
1. What did Dormon and Daggett have in common?
A. Being noted for their paintings. B. Being remembered for survival skills.
C. Working for protecting the forest. D. Writing books about trees and flowers.
2. How did Alexander differ from other research benefactors?
A. She trained painters in Paris. B. She spent a lot of time on nursing.
C. She preferred to travel alone. D. She joined in wilderness exploration.
3. Who was Cornell’s first female professor?
A. Hallie Daggett. B. Anna Botsford Comstock.
C. Caroline Dormon. D. Annie Montague Alexander.

As the Head of the Brearley School, I have to guide the school through challenging times. I often find inspiration in the words of two teachers — Rabbi Burger and Parker Palmer.
In his article Learning and Teaching From the Heart During Troubling Times, Rabbi Burger talks about the importance of balancing strong beliefs with kindness. He learned this from his teacher, Elie Wiesel, a Nobel Prize winner. As a teacher, Professor Wiesel believed in the power of literature, and the study of history to make a difference in the lives of students. “My goal as a teacher,” he often told his students, “is to humanize. Whatever you learn, remember: The learning must make you more, not less, human.”
Students have many questions in their lives right now. As they grow older, their questions tend to become more complex (复杂的), especially after seeing troubling events. They try to understand these situations by finding the causes and working out solutions. However, we must explain that fully understanding these events is nearly impossible. We live with the fact that terrible things happen, which can seem unthinkable. Moreover, we must recognize that behind these tough questions are the students’ feelings. In my experience, this is one painful but important way children build their sense of humanity.
In a conversation titled Turning to Face the Dark, Palmer discusses how heartbreak can change us. He suggests that we can take our heartbreak and use it to become a bigger and better person.
Teachers play an important role in this painful but necessary growth. We may not have all the answers, but by inviting students to ask questions and express their feelings — whether anger, fear, or sadness — we show them that it’s okay to struggle with life’s challenges. This struggle is part of what it means to be human.
4. What is the goal of education according to Wiesel?
A. To teach students to be human. B. To score high marks in the class.
C. To have a strong belief in others. D. To read plenty of classic stories.
5. How does the author of the text view these tough questions in students’ lives?
A. They show the world is in trouble. B. They are a sign of students’ weakness.
C. They are a reminder of terrible events. D. They help students’ personal growth.
6. What is Palmer’s opinion about heartbreak?
A. It should be unlocked by parents. B. It can be turned into a positive force.
C. It can be shared with our friends. D. It should be regarded as punishment.
7. What does the last paragraph suggest?
A. Meaningless learning process must be avoided.
B. Students will value their memories in high school.
C. People have the right to question the reply they get.
D. Teachers should guide students to express themselves.
C
Cortni Borgerson, a primatologist, and Pascal Elison, a Masoala National Park tour guide, were rushing through the forest in search of a red ruffed lemur (红领狐猴) in the area of northeastern Madagascar. They tried to find the lemur after hearing its call.
Wild lemurs are found only in Madagascar, where they help spread seeds and pollinate plants, keeping the environment healthy and balanced. However, the red ruffed lemur is endangered because of hunting (猎杀).
While hunting lemurs has been not allowed by the law since the 1960s, people hunt and eat them when other foods are not enough. Nearly 90 percent of locals have eaten lemur, according to Borgerson’s research. Red ruffed lemurs are the most likely to end up at people’s dinner tables, because they’re relatively easy to catch and are considered particularly tasty. What’s more, in Malagasy cities, lemur meat is now offered as a high-end food.
To help save lemurs from hunting without leaving Masoala communities hungry, Borgerson turned to bugs (昆虫), a specific type called sakondry. They’ve been a food source in Madagascar for at least 400 years, and could be a game changer for lemurs.
Why sakondry? These bugs, known for their meaty taste, are easy to farm. Borgerson has taught local people how to farm them by planting lima bean crops that attract the bugs. The bugs grow quickly and don’t harm the plants much. The only real catch is that the plants may not survive well everywhere in the country because of climate differences.
Sakondry are so well received that sometimes they’ re even sold at prices similar to beef. Borgerson says her program isn’t focused on business sales but on saving lemurs. In just three years, sakondry farming has already helped cut lemur hunting by at least 50% in the communities. Borgerson plans to bring the bug farming to at least 3,000 more households in northeastern Madagascar next year.
8. What can we know about wild lemurs in Madagascar?
A. They tend to fight for food. B. They often attack local people.
C. They support healthy ecosystems. D. They are hard to hunt in the wild.
9. Why does Borgerson teach the locals to farm sakondry?
A. To cut the prices of farm produce. B. To offer them a replacement for lemurs.
C. To break the habit of eating bugs. D. To encourage them to run a business.
10. Which of the following best explains “catch” underlined in paragraph 5?
A. A clear message. B. A similar model. C. A hidden problem. D. A great advantage.
11. What can be inferred about Borgerson’s program?
A. It is effective in saving lemurs. B. It stops people buying beef.
C. It is mainly for business sales. D. It increases the cost of hunting.
D
Sitting at your desk all day may put you at greater risk for heart disease — even if you exercise often, according to new research.
Dr. Ezim Ajufo, a cardiologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, said that it’s important to limit sitting time, regardless of how active you are. Dr. Keith Diaz from Columbia University added that more studies are needed to determine (确定) how much sitting is too much.
The study looked at data from around 90,000 people who wore activity trackers for a week. Researchers compared their sitting and active times with later diagnoses (诊断) of conditions, like heart attacks, and heart failure. The results showed that sitting for long periods is related to a higher risk of heart problems. The study also suggested that sitting more than 10.6 hours a day should be avoided as a starting point for health guidelines.
Sitting too long is harmful because it affects the muscles, which help control blood sugar and fat levels. Dr. Diaz said, “To do their job well, muscles need movement. Taking movement breaks is a way to give your muscles the stimulation (刺激) they need to do their jobs.”
For people working in an office all day, those 10.6 hours of sitting can add up quickly. A standing desk may not solve everything since standing still doesn’t stimulate the muscles enough. Dr. Diaz recommended riding a bike or holding a meeting over a walk. He also suggested getting up and walking for just a few minutes every hour or when you finish one task before moving to the next.
The research also showed that evening workouts don’t completely make up for sitting too long during the day. “But don’t be disheartened about activity. Exercise is still always a good idea and benefits people in so many ways,” Dr. Diaz said.
12. What did the study find about too much sitting?
A. It might cause heart disease. B. It has changed health guidelines.
C. It can stimulate the muscles. D. It is a big trouble for the elderly.
13. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. How to remain energetic. B. How to push people into exercising.
C. How to get moving at work. D. How to chair a meeting in the office.
14. What is Dr. Diaz’s attitude to the role of workouts?
A. Doubtful. B. Uncaring. C. Worried. D. Positive.
15. Where is this text probably taken from?
A. A PE textbook. B. A health magazine. C. An exercise plan. D. A medical test report.

In the U.S., 7.5 million acres of land are lost to wildfires every year, mostly with human-related causes. Weather can affect these fires, but what people do makes it worse.

____18____. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid using spark-producing tools as they can light dry plants on fire. Additionally, refueling heated engines is dangerous, as it can cause fires. In general, it is a good idea to have fire-extinguishing equipment on hand to prevent the growth of small fires that could be caused by machines.
____19____
While having fun outdoors, ensure that you enjoy yourself in a safe environment. One such example includes making sure that campfires are completely put out. If fireworks are being lit, it is important to take wildfire prevention measures. Fireworks should not be lit in or near forests.

47. 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。
The sound of the starting gun echoed (回荡) through the air, and Mia’s heart was racing. She was on the starting line of the state track championship, holding her breath. The other runners around her were focused, their eyes on the track ahead. This was the moment Mia had worked for her entire life—a defining moment, one that could change everything. However, the journey leading up to this moment was far from easy.
Mia had started running when she was eight years old. From the very beginning, she dreamed of winning a state championship. For years, she trained harder than anyone, pushing her body to the limit, always aiming for a bigger improvement. But two months ago, she faced the worst setback of her life—— she pulled her hamstring (腘绳肌) during training for the big game.
The injury forced her to stop running completely for weeks. The pain and disappointment were unbearable. Every time she tried to get back on the track, her body felt weak. She couldn’t shake the feeling of uncertainty. What if I could never run again? What if I missed my one shot at the championship?
Her coach believed in her abilities, though. “The journey to success isn’t just about talent,” he told her one evening as they reviewed her recovery plan. “It’s about believing in yourself even when times get hard. Focus on getting better step by step.”
Mia kept those words in mind as she started her slow, painful recovery. She focused on her physical therapy (理疗), rebuilding strength with each passing day. Slowly, she started to trust her body again. Every workout was a challenge. Her muscles burned, and her legs shook, but Mia never gave up.
Now, standing at the starting line, her journey felt both unreal and achievable. She had trained through pain, through self-doubt, and through tears. Today, she would prove that all the efforts she had made were worthwhile.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The sound of the starting gun pulled Mia away from her thoughts.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, Mia crossed the finish line, with the crowd cheering.

As the Head of the Brearley School, I have to guide the school through challenging times. I often find inspiration in the words of two teachers — Rabbi Burger and Parker Palmer.
In his article Learning and Teaching From the Heart During Troubling Times, Rabbi Burger talks about the importance of balancing strong beliefs with kindness. He learned this from his teacher, Elie Wiesel, a Nobel Prize winner. As a teacher, Professor Wiesel believed in the power of literature, and the study of history to make a difference in the lives of students. “My goal as a teacher,” he often told his students, “is to humanize. Whatever you learn, remember: The learning must make you more, not less, human.”
Students have many questions in their lives right now. As they grow older, their questions tend to become more complex (复杂的), especially after seeing troubling events. They try to understand these situations by finding the causes and working out solutions. However, we must explain that fully understanding these events is nearly impossible. We live with the fact that terrible things happen, which can seem unthinkable. Moreover, we must recognize that behind these tough questions are the students’ feelings. In my experience, this is one painful but important way children build their sense of humanity.
In a conversation titled Turning to Face the Dark, Palmer discusses how heartbreak can change us. He suggests that we can take our heartbreak and use it to become a bigger and better person.
Teachers play an important role in this painful but necessary growth. We may not have all the answers, but by inviting students to ask questions and express their feelings — whether anger, fear, or sadness — we show them that it’s okay to struggle with life’s challenges. This struggle is part of what it means to be human.
4. What is the goal of education according to Wiesel?
A. To teach students to be human. B. To score high marks in the class.
C. To have a strong belief in others. D. To read plenty of classic stories.
5. How does the author of the text view these tough questions in students’ lives?
A. They show the world is in trouble. B. They are a sign of students’ weakness.
C. They are a reminder of terrible events. D. They help students’ personal growth.
6. What is Palmer’s opinion about heartbreak?
A. It should be unlocked by parents. B. It can be turned into a positive force.
C. It can be shared with our friends. D. It should be regarded as punishment.
7. What does the last paragraph suggest?
A. Meaningless learning process must be avoided.
B. Students will value their memories in high school.
C. People have the right to question the reply they get.
D. Teachers should guide students to express themselves.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. D

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者通过引用两位老师的观点来表明自己对教育的看法——学习的目的是让学生有人性,而老师在学生的学习过程中应该扮演引路人的角色。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段““My goal as a teacher,” he often told his students, “is to humanize. Whatever you learn, remember: The learning must make you more, not less, human.”(“作为一名教师,”他经常对学生说,“我的目标是人性化。无论你学什么,记住:学习必须使你更像人,而不是更不像人。”)”可知,Wiesel认为教育的目的是教学生做人。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Moreover, we must recognize that behind these tough questions are the students’ feelings. In my experience, this is one painful but important way children build their sense of humanity.(此外,我们必须认识到,在这些棘手问题背后是学生的感受。根据我的经验,这是孩子们建立人性的一种痛苦但重要的方式。)”可推断,作者认为学生提出这些苛刻的问题有助于学生成长。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“In a conversation titled Turning to Face the Dark, Palmer discusses how heartbreak can change us. He suggests that we can take our heartbreak and use it to become a bigger and better person.(在一篇名为Turning to Face the Dark的对话中,Palmer讨论了心碎是如何改变我们的。他建议我们可以接受心碎,并利用它成为一个更大更好的人。)”可知,在Palmer看来可以化悲痛为力量。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“We may not have all the answers, but by inviting students to ask questions and express their feelings — whether anger, fear, or sadness—we show them that it’s okay to struggle with life’s challenges.(我们可能不知道所有的答案,但通过邀请学生提问并表达他们的感受——无论是愤怒、恐惧还是悲伤——我们告诉他们,与生活的挑战作斗争是可以的。)”可知,老师应当引导学生表达自己的真实情感。故选D。
C
Cortni Borgerson, a primatologist, and Pascal Elison, a Masoala National Park tour guide, were rushing through the forest in search of a red ruffed lemur (红领狐猴) in the area of northeastern Madagascar. They tried to find the lemur after hearing its call.
Wild lemurs are found only in Madagascar, where they help spread seeds and pollinate plants, keeping the environment healthy and balanced. However, the red ruffed lemur is endangered because of hunting (猎杀).
While hunting lemurs has been not allowed by the law since the 1960s, people hunt and eat them when other foods are not enough. Nearly 90 percent of locals have eaten lemur, according to Borgerson’s research. Red ruffed lemurs are the most likely to end up at people’s dinner tables, because they’re relatively easy to catch and are considered particularly tasty. What’s more, in Malagasy cities, lemur meat is now offered as a high-end food.
To help save lemurs from hunting without leaving Masoala communities hungry, Borgerson turned to bugs (昆虫), a specific type called sakondry. They’ve been a food source in Madagascar for at least 400 years, and could be a game changer for lemurs.
Why sakondry? These bugs, known for their meaty taste, are easy to farm. Borgerson has taught local people how to farm them by planting lima bean crops that attract the bugs. The bugs grow quickly and don’t harm the plants much. The only real catch is that the plants may not survive well everywhere in the country because of climate differences.
Sakondry are so well received that sometimes they’ re even sold at prices similar to beef. Borgerson says her program isn’t focused on business sales but on saving lemurs. In just three years, sakondry farming has already helped cut lemur hunting by at least 50% in the communities. Borgerson plans to bring the bug farming to at least 3,000 more households in northeastern Madagascar next year.
8. What can we know about wild lemurs in Madagascar?
A. They tend to fight for food. B. They often attack local people.
C. They support healthy ecosystems. D. They are hard to hunt in the wild.
9. Why does Borgerson teach the locals to farm sakondry?
A. To cut the prices of farm produce. B. To offer them a replacement for lemurs.
C. To break the habit of eating bugs. D. To encourage them to run a business.
10. Which of the following best explains “catch” underlined in paragraph 5?
A. A clear message. B. A similar model. C. A hidden problem. D. A great advantage.
11. What can be inferred about Borgerson’s program?
A. It is effective in saving lemurs. B. It stops people buying beef.
C. It is mainly for business sales. D. It increases the cost of hunting.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲的是灵长类动物学家Cortni Borgerson和马索亚拉国家公园导游Pascal Elison在马达加斯加东北部地区为保护红领狐猴而采取的行动。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Wild lemurs are found only in Madagascar, where they help spread seeds and pollinate plants, keeping the environment healthy and balanced.(野生狐猴只在马达加斯加发现,它们帮助传播种子和为植物授粉,保持环境的健康和平衡。)”可知,野生狐猴支持健康的生态系统。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“To help save lemurs from hunting without leaving Masoala communities hungry, Borgerson turned to bugs (昆虫), a specific type called sakondry. They’ve been a food source in Madagascar for at least 400 years, and could be a game changer for lemurs.(为了在不让马索阿拉社区陷入饥饿的情况下拯救狐猴,Borgerson转向了一种名为sakondry的特殊昆虫。至少400年来,它们一直是马达加斯加的食物来源,可能会改变狐猴的游戏规则。)”可知,Borgerson要教当地人养殖sakondry是为狐猴提供替代品。故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“The bugs grow quickly and don’t harm the plants much.(虫子长得很快,对植物危害不大。)”和“the plants may not survive well everywhere in the country because of climate differences(由于气候差异,这些植物可能无法在全国各地生存)”可知,划线词所在句子表示“唯一真正的问题是,由于气候差异,这些植物可能无法在全国各地都能很好地生存”,划线词catch的意思是“问题”,和A hidden problem意思相近。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In just three years, sakondry farming has already helped cut lemur hunting by at least 50% in the communities.(在短短三年内,sakondry农业已经帮助社区减少了至少50%的狐猴狩猎。)”可知,Borgerson的计划对拯救狐猴很有效。故选A。
D
Sitting at your desk all day may put you at greater risk for heart disease — even if you exercise often, according to new research.
Dr. Ezim Ajufo, a cardiologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, said that it’s important to limit sitting time, regardless of how active you are. Dr. Keith Diaz from Columbia University added that more studies are needed to determine (确定) how much sitting is too much.
The study looked at data from around 90,000 people who wore activity trackers for a week. Researchers compared their sitting and active times with later diagnoses (诊断) of conditions, like heart attacks, and heart failure. The results showed that sitting for long periods is related to a higher risk of heart problems. The study also suggested that sitting more than 10.6 hours a day should be avoided as a starting point for health guidelines.
Sitting too long is harmful because it affects the muscles, which help control blood sugar and fat levels. Dr. Diaz said, “To do their job well, muscles need movement. Taking movement breaks is a way to give your muscles the stimulation (刺激) they need to do their jobs.”
For people working in an office all day, those 10.6 hours of sitting can add up quickly. A standing desk may not solve everything since standing still doesn’t stimulate the muscles enough. Dr. Diaz recommended riding a bike or holding a meeting over a walk. He also suggested getting up and walking for just a few minutes every hour or when you finish one task before moving to the next.
The research also showed that evening workouts don’t completely make up for sitting too long during the day. “But don’t be disheartened about activity. Exercise is still always a good idea and benefits people in so many ways,” Dr. Diaz said.
12. What did the study find about too much sitting?
A. It might cause heart disease. B. It has changed health guidelines.
C. It can stimulate the muscles. D. It is a big trouble for the elderly.
13. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. How to remain energetic. B. How to push people into exercising.
C. How to get moving at work. D. How to chair a meeting in the office.
14. What is Dr. Diaz’s attitude to the role of workouts?
A. Doubtful. B. Uncaring. C. Worried. D. Positive.
15. Where is this text probably taken from?
A. A PE textbook. B. A health magazine. C. An exercise plan. D. A medical test report.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。最新一项研究表明,久坐可能会引发心脏病等疾病,且一天久坐时间不宜超过10.6小时。

细节理解题。根据第三段“The results showed that sitting for long periods is related to a higher risk of heart problems.(研究结果显示,久坐会增加患心脏病的风险)”可知,久坐可能会引发心脏病。故选A。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“For people working in an office all day, those 10.6 hours of sitting can add up quickly. A standing desk may not solve everything since standing still doesn’t stimulate the muscles enough. Dr. Diaz recommended riding a bike or holding a meeting over a walk. He also suggested getting up and walking for just a few minutes every hour or when you finish one task before moving to the next.(对于整天在办公室工作的人来说,这10.6个小时坐着的时间很快就会累积起来。站立式办公桌可能不能解决所有问题,因为站着不动并不能充分刺激肌肉。迪亚兹博士建议骑车或边散步边开会。他还建议,每小时或者在完成一项任务进入下一项任务之前,站起来走几分钟)”可知,本段主要介绍如何在上班期间活动筋骨。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““But don’t be disheartened about activity. Exercise is still always a good idea and benefits people in so many ways,” Dr. Diaz said.(“但不要对活动感到沮丧。锻炼仍然是一个好主意,在很多方面对人们有益,”迪亚兹博士说)”可推断,Dr. Diaz认可健身锻炼的作用。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Dr. Ezim Ajufo, a cardiologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, said that it’s important to limit sitting time, regardless of how active you are. Dr. Keith Diaz from Columbia University added that more studies are needed to determine (确定) how much sitting is too much.(波士顿布里格姆妇女医院的心脏病专家埃齐姆·阿朱弗博士说,限制久坐时间很重要,不管你有多活跃。哥伦比亚大学的基思·迪亚兹博士补充说,需要更多的研究来确定多长时间坐着算过度)”结合文章主要说明了最新一项研究表明,久坐可能会引发心脏病等,且一天久坐时间不宜超过10.6小时。故本文可能出自一份健康杂志。故选B。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了春节的来历和习俗。
【36题详解】
考查连词。句意:因此,这个节日被称为农历新年或春节。根据语境可知,句子表示“这个节日被称为农历新年或春节”,空格处意为“或者”,是or,故填or。
【37题详解】
考查时态。句意:根据传说,人们在3000多年前的商朝(公元前1600-1046年)开始庆祝这个节日。由over 3,000 years ago可知,句子时态是一般过去时,谓语动词用过去式,故填began。
【38题详解】
考查不定式。句意:那时候,一个名叫“年”的怪物据说会在农历新年前夕出来伤害人们,破坏他们的财产,通常是一个麻烦制造者。sb. be said to do sth.是固定短语,意为“据说某人做某事”,因此空格处用不定式to come,故填to come。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:那时候,一个名叫“年”的怪物据说会在农历新年前夕出来伤害人们,破坏他们的财产,通常是一个麻烦制造者。serve as是固定短语,意为“作为”,因此空格处用介词as,故填as。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:最终,人们发现年害怕红色、大声的声音和火。空格处用副词eventually作状语,修饰整个句子,eventually意为“最终”,位于句首的单词首字母大写,故填Eventually。
【41题详解】
考查动名词。句意:庆祝活动包括放烟花、舞龙、与家人和朋友共度美好时光、发红包、用红色的剪纸对联装饰门窗。空格处用动名词spending作宾语,故填spending。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:庆祝活动包括放烟花、舞龙、与家人和朋友共度美好时光、发红包、用红色剪纸对联装饰门窗。句中谓语是include,空格处用非谓语动词,envelopes和fill之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此空格处用过去分词表被动,故填filled。
【43题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意:也是在这一天,家人聚在一起包饺子,享受饺子。句子描述经常性,习惯性的动作,时态用一般现在时,由get是原形可知,空格处用复数作主语,故填members。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:然而,饺子的另一个起源故事说,饺子的诞生是由于一位中国古代医生的仁慈,他用他特殊的耳朵形状的饺子配方拯救了整个村庄。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词doctor是人,因此空格处用关系代词who/that。故填who/that。
【45题详解】
考查物主代词。句意:然而,饺子的另一个起源故事说,饺子的诞生是由于一位中国古代医生的仁慈,他用他特殊的耳朵形状的饺子配方拯救了整个村庄。he和special ear-shaped dumpling recipe之间是所属关系,因此空格处用形容词性物主代词his,意为“他的”。故填his。

47. 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。
The sound of the starting gun echoed (回荡) through the air, and Mia’s heart was racing. She was on the starting line of the state track championship, holding her breath. The other runners around her were focused, their eyes on the track ahead. This was the moment Mia had worked for her entire life—a defining moment, one that could change everything. However, the journey leading up to this moment was far from easy.
Mia had started running when she was eight years old. From the very beginning, she dreamed of winning a state championship. For years, she trained harder than anyone, pushing her body to the limit, always aiming for a bigger improvement. But two months ago, she faced the worst setback of her life—— she pulled her hamstring (腘绳肌) during training for the big game.
The injury forced her to stop running completely for weeks. The pain and disappointment were unbearable. Every time she tried to get back on the track, her body felt weak. She couldn’t shake the feeling of uncertainty. What if I could never run again? What if I missed my one shot at the championship?
Her coach believed in her abilities, though. “The journey to success isn’t just about talent,” he told her one evening as they reviewed her recovery plan. “It’s about believing in yourself even when times get hard. Focus on getting better step by step.”
Mia kept those words in mind as she started her slow, painful recovery. She focused on her physical therapy (理疗), rebuilding strength with each passing day. Slowly, she started to trust her body again. Every workout was a challenge. Her muscles burned, and her legs shook, but Mia never gave up.
Now, standing at the starting line, her journey felt both unreal and achievable. She had trained through pain, through self-doubt, and through tears. Today, she would prove that all the efforts she had made were worthwhile.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The sound of the starting gun pulled Mia away from her thoughts.

Finally, Mia crossed the finish line, with the crowd cheering.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The sound of the starting gun pulled Mia away from her thoughts. Mia began to run, keeping an even and controlled breath. The first lap went effortlessly. As Mia neared the halfway point, her legs were tired, but she refused to stop. “You can do this,” she thought. “One lap at a time.” The last lap came, and Mia pushed harder. The sound of her breathing filled her ears, and the finish line came into view. With just a few meters to go, Mia summoned every ounce of strength she had left.
Finally, Mia crossed the finish line, with the crowed cheering. Breathless, she looked around, hearing that sound of thunderous applause. Tears welled up in her eyes. She made it. Mia stood on the podium later that day, holding her medal high. She had overcome pain, injury, doubt and fear. This honor was about more than a medal—— it was about the belief that a strong will could help one get over difficulties. The road to success was never easy, but Mia knew one thing: Sometimes the hardest moments lead to the sweetest victories.
