Hong Kong was once seen as a cultural desert. But since around 1997, when it returned to China, the idea of an arts enclave (艺术飞地) emerged. After nearly 30 years, the West Kowloon Cultural District has formed, with world-class venues. Here’s a guide to what’s new.
Free Space
As the name suggests, this performing-arts center is designed to be flexible and imaginative. The bunker-like complex houses a black box theater and studios for experimental performances and dance, as well as the Lau Bak Livehouse, a coffeehouse and bar with live music on weekends.
Hong Kong Palace Museum
Resembling a Chinese gold ingot (金元宝), this museum showcases artifacts from China’s imperial palaces, including Ming dynasty ceramics, scroll paintings, and double-headed dragons from the National Palace Museum in Beijing’s Forbidden City.
Art Park
Hugging the waterfront promenade, this expansive lawn is an ideal place for joggers, picnickers, museum-goers, and dog walkers. There are more than a dozen places to eat and drink throughout — around sunset, grab a seat at one of the harbor side cafés below the Palace Museum. The facilities are spotless, too.
Xiqu Center
This performance hall, which hosts Cantonese opera, has an exterior with aluminum shingles that resemble fish scales. A large opening fills the atrium (中庭) with breezes and natural light. Even if xiqu (Chinese opera) isn’t your cup of tea, the public atrium is an inviting place to rest before exploring the shops along Canton Road.
21. What do Free Space and Art Park have in common?
A. People can walk dogs there. B. People can enjoy coffee there.
C. People can listen to music there. D. People can watch the sunset there.
22. Which of the following does the Hong Kong Palace Museum display?
A. Modern art. B. Gold ingot. C. Chinese artifacts. D. Opera costumes.
23. What can we do in Xiqu Center?
A. Go fishing. B. Take a break. C. Have a cup of tea. D. Enjoy light shows.
【答案】21. B 22. C 23. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了香港西九龙文娱艺术区的四处场所。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据Free Space中“The bunker-like complex houses a black box theater and studios for experimental performances and dance, as well as the Lau Bak Livehouse, a coffeehouse and bar with live music on weekends. (这座掩体般的综合体设有一个黑箱剧院和用于实验性表演及舞蹈的工作室,还包括Lau Bak Livehouse——一个在周末提供现场音乐的咖啡馆和酒吧)”和Art Park中“There are more than a dozen places to eat and drink throughout — around sunset, grab a seat at one of the harbor side cafés below the Palace Museum. (整个区域有十几处餐饮场所——日落时分,可以在故宫文化博物馆下方的海港边咖啡馆找个座位坐下)”可知,两者的共同之处是人们可以在那里享用咖啡。故选B项。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据Hong Kong Palace Museum中“Resembling a Chinese gold ingot (金元宝), this museum showcases artifacts from China’s imperial palaces, including Ming dynasty ceramics, scroll paintings, and double-headed dragons from the National Palace Museum in Beijing’s Forbidden City.(这座博物馆形似中国的金元宝,展出中国皇家宫殿的文物,包括来自北京故宫博物院的明代陶瓷、卷轴画和双头龙等展品)”可知,香港故宫文化博物馆展示中国的文物。故选C项。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据Xiqu Center中“Even if xiqu (Chinese opera) isn’t your cup of tea, the public atrium is an inviting place to rest before exploring the shops along Canton Road. (即使戏曲不是你的兴趣所在,公共中庭也是一个在探索广东道沿线商店之前休息的好地方)”可知,人们可以在香港戏曲中心休息。故选B项。
B
Three days ahead of his 20th birthday, Pan Zhanle of China produced a swim at the Paris Olympics that catapulted him to Olympic gold and international attention. Pan broke his own world record in the 100 metres freestyle, his time of 46.40 seconds at Paris La Defense Arena destroying his previous best of 46.80, set in February.
Born in Wenzhou, Pan is regarded as China’s “flying fish”. Outstanding fitness earned him a spot in the Wenzhou Youth Swimming School’s talent class at the age of four. “Once I started swimming, I couldn’t stop.” Aged 10, Pan made a splash with seven gold medals in five days during the 2014 Zhejiang Provincial Games.
His commitment was such that whereas most swimmers’ mistakes or shortcomings would lead coaches to impose (强加) harder training, Pan’s coach would instead reduce his training as a form of discipline. “I would punish him by not allowing him to get in the pool, and he would feel really uncomfortable,” Pan’s former coach Wang Shi told Chinese media. “He just really loves swimming.” In 2023, Pan made his move. He broke the Asian record in the men’s 100m freestyle at the Chinese national championships with a time of 47.22, a mark he then beat again at that year’s Asian Games in Hangzhou, with 46.97.
In 2022, American swimming coach Mark Schubert suggested that Pan switch to the individual medley (个人混合泳比赛), on the basis that Chinese swimmers were unlikely to beat those of other nations as 100m freestyle specialists. His conclusion seemed to act as a challenge to Pan. “I’m rebellious (叛逆的) by nature,” Pan replied to Schubert after Doha, showing him his gold medal. “The more others doubt my abilities, the more determined I am to prove them wrong.”
24. Why does the author mention the previous record set in February?
A. To show the record is extremely hard to break. B. To show Pan has gained international attention.
C. To indicate the fierce competition in swimming. D. To indicate Pan’s capacity to go beyond himself.
25. What do the underlined words “made a splash” probably mean?
A. Attracted great attention. B. Earned a big fortune. C. Started a better training. D. Caused some trouble.
26. What would make Pan unhappy in the training?
A. Failing to meet the coach's standard. B. Being forbidden to swim in the pool.
C. Getting involved in much harder training. D. Being punished to train for a longer time.
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Pan was inspired by the American coach. B. Pan always goes against the coach’s advice.
C. Doubt motivates Pan rather than beats him. D. Showing off his gold medals is Pan’s habit.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了中国游泳运动员潘展乐在奥运会上夺冠的经历。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Pan broke his own world record in the 100 metres freestyle, his time of 46.40 seconds at Paris La Defense Arena destroying his previous best of 46.80, set in February.(潘在巴黎拉德芳斯竞技场以46.40秒的成绩打破了自己的100米自由泳世界纪录,打破了他2月份创下的46.80秒的最佳成绩)”可推知,作者提到 2 月创造的之前记录,是为了表明潘展乐打破自己的记录,体现他超越自我的能力。故选D。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线短语所在的句子“with seven gold medals in five days during the 2014 Zhejiang Provincial Games(在2014年浙江省运动会上,他在五天内获得了七枚金牌)”可知,10岁的潘展乐在2014年浙江省运动会上五天内获得七枚金牌,这引起了极大的关注。因此,made a splash意为“引起了极大的关注”。故选A。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的““I would punish him by not allowing him to get in the pool, and he would feel really uncomfortable,” Pan’s former coach Wang Shi told Chinese media.(潘的前教练王石告诉中国媒体:“我会惩罚他,不让他进入游泳池,他会感到非常不舒服。”)” 可知,不让潘展乐进入泳池会让他在训练中不开心。故选B。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The more others doubt my abilities, the more determined I am to prove them wrong.(别人越怀疑我的能力,我就越决心证明他们错了)”可知,别人的怀疑越多,潘展乐就越有决心证明他们是错的,由此可推知,别人的怀疑激励了潘展乐而不是打败了他。故选C。
C
In today’s interconnected world, maintaining personal independence is more important than ever. While cooperating with and relying on others are essential aspects of modern life, an overdependence on external (外部的) systems, technology, or individuals can gradually destroy autonomy, kill personal growth, and compromise one’s ability to deal with challenges.
First, independence develops self-reliance and adaptability. In a rapidly changing world, individuals must adapt to unexpected circumstances, from economic downturns (衰退) to technological disruptions. For example, someone who has developed financial knowledge and self-sufficiency is better equipped to handle economic challenges than someone who relies entirely on others for support. Independence enables individuals to take control of their lives and make informed decisions without being overly influenced by external forces.
Second, independence promotes personal growth and self-fulfillment. Relying too much on others can limit one’s opportunities to explore, take risks, and learn from mistakes. When individuals independently pursue their goals and passions, they gain confidence, skills, and a sense of purpose. For example, starting a personal project or business without external backing challenges people to innovate and think critically, developing creativity and problem-solving abilities.
Maintaining independence protects individuality and personal identity in a world where conformity (遵从) is often encouraged. Social media and cultural trends can pressure individuals to agree with popular opinions or adopt popular lifestyles, potentially hiding their true selves. Independence allows people to form their own beliefs, values, and priorities, making them more empowered to contribute uniquely to society.
Critics might argue that independence risks isolation or the loss of community values. However, independence does not prevent cooperation or meaningful relationships. In fact, truly independent individuals often bring more value to relationships because they contribute from a place of strength and confidence rather than dependency.
Maintaining independence in today’s society is vital for personal growth. While mutual support and interdependence are valuable, they should not come at the cost of autonomy. Keeping a balance between cooperation and independence ensures individuals can thrive in an ever-evolving world.
28. Who may handle economic challenges better according to Paragraph 2?
A. People depending on themselves. B. People making innovative decisions.
C. People influenced by external forces. D. People relying on unexpected settings.
29. Why does independence matter in a world encouraging conformity?
A. It makes people form common beliefs. B. It allows people to maintain self-hood.
C. It enables people to lead cultural trends. D. It helps people develop their intelligence.
30. Which can best describe an independent person in relationships?
A. Confident and helpful. B. Isolated and indifferent.
C. Cooperative and proud. D. Critical and autonomous.
31. How is the passage mainly developed?
A. By inferring and comparing. B. By showing cause and effect.
C. By giving opinions and examples. D. By stating problems and solutions.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章强调了在当今社会中保持独立性的重要性,指出独立性有助于培养自力更生、促进个人成长、保护个人身份,并能为关系带来更多价值,同时强调在合作与独立之间保持平衡是个人在快速变化的世界中蓬勃发展的关键。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“For example, someone who has developed financial knowledge and self-sufficiency is better equipped to handle economic challenges than someone who relies entirely on others for support. (例如,一个具备财务知识和自给自足能力的人,比完全依赖他人支持的人更能应对经济挑战)”可知,自立的人更能应对经济挑战。故选A项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Independence allows people to form their own beliefs, values, and priorities, making them more empowered to contribute uniquely to society. (独立性使人们能够形成自己的信仰、价值观和优先事项,从而让他们更有能力以独特的方式为社会做出贡献)”可知,在一个鼓励从众的世界里,独立很重要,因为它能让人们保持自我。故选B项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“In fact, truly independent individuals often bring more value to relationships because they contribute from a place of strength and confidence rather than dependency. (事实上,真正独立的个体往往能为关系带来更多价值,因为他们从力量和自信的角度做出贡献,而不是依赖他人)”可知,真正独立的人从力量和自信的角度为人际关系做出贡献。因此,独立的人在人际关系中表现为自信和乐于助人。故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。文章的第二、三、四段分别阐述独立性培养自力更生和适应能力、促进个人成长和自我实现、在鼓励从众的世界中保护个人身份的重要性的观点,并通过相应的例子来支持观点,第五段反驳独立性可能导致孤立的批评,并通过独立个体在关系中贡献更多价值的例子来支持其论点。因此,文章主要通过提出观点并结合具体例子来展开论述。故选C项。
D
Heating and lighting buildings consume a significant portion of global energy — about 18%, according to the International Energy Agency. Many buildings have outdated HVAC systems (空调通风系统) that respond slowly to weather changes, leading to energy waste. However, AI is seen as a potential solution. While AI itself can be energy-intensive — Microsoft has acknowledged that its AI development threatens climate goals — experts believe AI can improve energy efficiency in large buildings. A 2024 study suggests that AI could reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions in buildings by at least 8%, and initial efforts to integrate AI into HVAC systems have been promising.
Sam Ramadori, CEO of BrainBox AI, explains that large buildings often have thousands of HVAC components that need to work together efficiently. His company’s technology uses predictive AI to send instructions every five minutes to various parts of the system, optimizing energy use and comfort. For example, the AI system at 45 Broadway begins warming the building in prediction of a cold front, and it adjusts heat distribution based on sunlight exposure.
Researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have also explored AI’s potential in building efficiency. Their study suggests that integrating AI with HVAC systems could reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions by 8% to 19%, or even more with active policy measures. AI can help minimize a building’s carbon footprint throughout its lifecycle, from design to maintenance, by predicting equipment failures and reducing downtime (停工期).
Other initiatives have shown similar benefits. In Stockholm, AI tools were applied in 87 HVAC systems in educational facilities, resulting in an annual reduction of 64 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (等量) and an 8% decrease in electricity usage. The University of Maryland’s Center for Environmental Energy Engineering also supports the idea that AI can significantly reduce power consumption in complex HVAC systems, especially those with both indoor and outdoor units.
As the globe warms, efficient cooling systems will be increasingly important. Arash Zarmehr, a building performance consultant at the engineering firm WSP, says that “All engineers are aware that human controls on HVAC systems reduce efficiencies.” He says, “AI can help us move toward the actual decarbonization of buildings.”
32. What does the 2024 study show?
A. AI contributes to climate change. B. AI consumes much global energy.
C. AI decreases energy consumption. D. AI is widely used in HVAC systems.
33. How can AI help building efficiency?
A. By shortening a building’s lifecycle. B. By minimizing HVAC’s components.
C. By regulating heat distribution randomly. D. By telling equipment failures in advance.
34. What is Arash Zarmehr’s attitude towards the use of AI?
A. Favorable. B. Neutral. C. Skeptical. D. Pessimistic.
35. What can be the best title of the text?
A. The Challenges of AI’s Rise B. The Energy Use in Buildings
C. The Impact of HVAC Systems D. AI’s Application in a New Field
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了AI技术在建筑能效管理中的应用,特别是通过优化空调通风系统,能够显著减少能耗和碳排放,研究表明其潜力可达到8%至19%的节能效果,并有助于预测设备故障和减少停机时间。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“A 2024 study suggests that AI could reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions in buildings by at least 8%, and initial efforts to integrate AI into HVAC systems have been promising. (2024年的一项研究表明,人工智能可以将建筑物的能耗和碳排放降低至少8%,将人工智能集成到空调通风系统的初步努力很有希望)”可知,这项研究表明AI可以降低能耗。故选C项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“AI can help minimize a building’s carbon footprint throughout its lifecycle, from design to maintenance, by predicting equipment failures and reducing downtime (停工期). (人工智能可以通过预测设备故障和减少停机时间,帮助在建筑物从设计到维护的整个生命周期中最大限度地减少碳足迹)”可知,AI可以提前告知设备故障,从而提高建筑效率。故选D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中所说的话“AI can help us move toward the actual decarbonization of buildings (人工智能可以帮助我们实现建筑物的实际去碳)”可知,Arash Zarmehr认为AI可以帮助实现建筑物的去碳,这表明他对AI的使用持积极态度。故选A项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“Many buildings have outdated HVAC systems (空调通风系统) that respond slowly to weather changes, leading to energy waste. However, AI is seen as a potential solution. (许多建筑的空调通风系统已经过时,对天气变化的响应缓慢,导致能源浪费。然而,人工智能被视为一种潜在的解决方案)”可知,文章主要讨论了AI在建筑能效管理中的应用,特别是如何通过优化空调通风系统来减少能耗和碳排放。因此,D项“AI在新领域的应用”最契合文章主旨,适合用作文章标题。故选D项。

Economists speak of “opportunity costs,” which is just a way of saying that every road taken means another road is not taken. If you focus on an unrealistic goal, you will miss out on other opportunities. If you want to disengage, here are some hints that might help.
____38____. Nobody can be defined by a single interest. We all have many sides and qualities. Do not let any goal or interest define you. You are more than a job or a single dream.
Do not keep lingering (徘徊) around your goal. There is an important difference between giving up the goal and stopping the effort. If you just stop trying but keep the goal in the back of your mind, you will be frustrated. Disengaging means that you stop being committed to the goal. ____39____.
Do not think of giving up as a failure, but as a choice. Try new activities, rediscover previous interests. Be honest with yourself about your chances, and choose the goals that best suit you. ____40____. You make a choice to free up your time for other interests.
A. Avoid tying a goal to your identity
B. Giving up is not easy, but it is important
C. Follow your dream and winners never quit
D. However, there are two problems if you take it too far
E. Remember that when you give up a goal, you do not fail
F. If you devote them to a goal, you will not be able to follow other goals effectively
G. Once you stop trying, you need to deliberately tell yourself that you are abandoning the goal
【答案】36. D 37. F 38. A 39. G 40. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出一味地追求一个目标有时会带来问题,放弃是可以接受的,为此介绍了如何放弃目标的一些建议。
【36题详解】
前文“Friends and colleagues will encourage you to keep trying. You want to be a writer? Keep writing. You want to be a movie star? Keep taking acting classes and auditioning for roles. (朋友和同事会鼓励你继续尝试。你想成为一名作家?继续写。你想当电影明星吗?继续上表演课,试演角色)”提到我们往往会被鼓励通过不断尝试来达成目标,不允许放弃,后文“The first is that goals and dreams might be unrealistic. The second problem is that your time and energy are limited. (首先,目标和梦想可能是不现实的。第二个问题是你的时间和精力是有限的)”提到两个具体的问题,因此D项“However, there are two problems if you take it too far (然而,如果你走得太远,会有两个问题)”符合语境,指出过分追求目标是有问题的,和前文构成转折,后文是对其具体说明。故选D。
【37题详解】
前文“The second problem is that your time and energy are limited. (第二个问题是你的时间和精力是有限的)”提到时间和精力是有限的,因此F项“If you devote them to a goal, you will not be able to follow other goals effectively (如果你把时间花在一个目标上,你就不能有效地遵循其他目标)”符合语境,说明仅专注于一个目标容易导致放弃其他目标,承接前文。故选F。
【38题详解】
后文“Nobody can be defined by a single interest. We all have many sides and qualities. Do not let any goal or interest define you. You are more than a job or a single dream. (没有人能被单一的兴趣所定义。我们都有很多方面和品质。不要让任何目标或兴趣定义你。你不仅仅是一份工作或一个梦想)”主要说明人是多面的,建议不要因一个目标或兴趣限制自己的身份,因此A项“Avoid tying a goal to your identity (避免把目标和你的身份联系在一起)”符合语境,建议避免将目标等同于个人身份,适合作为段首句统领段落内容,且和下文其他段首句一样使用祈使句的形式。故选A。
【39题详解】
前文“If you just stop trying but keep the goal in the back of your mind, you will be frustrated. Disengaging means that you stop being committed to the goal. (如果你只是停止尝试,把目标留在你的脑海里,你会感到沮丧。脱离意味着你不再致力于目标)”说明停止尝试后仍想着目标有坏处,建议做到脱离,因此G项“Once you stop trying, you need to deliberately tell yourself that you are abandoning the goal (一旦你停止尝试,你需要有意识地告诉自己你正在放弃目标)”符合语境,提醒要有意识地暗示自己在放弃目标,承接前文。故选G。
【40题详解】
段首句“Do not think of giving up as a failure, but as a choice. (不要认为放弃是一种失败,而是一种选择)”建议转换对放弃的看法,后文“You make a choice to free up your time for other interests. (你选择腾出时间来做其他的事情)”说明放弃意味着选择做其他事,因此E项“Remember that when you give up a goal, you do not fail (记住,当你放弃一个目标时,你并没有失败)”符合语境,指出放弃目标不等于失败,呼应段首句,引出后文。故选E。

Chengdu’s daily lifestyle appealed ____58____ me greatly, perhaps because it was a habit that I could understand. Before I visited China, I studied in a college. I used to stay in Auckland cafes for many hours, ____59____ (think) about my philosophy and literature courses. To my mind, a cafe was a more attractive place than a library. From ____60____ I had read of Chengdu, I came to the conclusion that people there shared my view.
The one thing I’ve always liked about China ____61____ (be) that they respect people who have a ____62____ (tend) to take things easy. In a city like Chengdu, I’d heard, this kind of intellectual laziness was not only acceptable but also part of daily life. If you longed to have anything achieved, you’d better start with ____63____ strong, hot cup of green tea. The fresh fragrance washed about you and your companions as you thought, chatted or played. Chengdu is just as busy as any city struggling ____64____ (become) as wealthy as it can be. However, the roots in culture are still deep, and can _____65_____ (feel) even still.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了作者对成都的向往,尤其是其茶文化和从容的生活方式,并对比了自己在奥克兰的生活体验,表达了对成都文化底蕴的欣赏。
【56题详解】
考查代词。句意:在我梦想访问的中国城市中,成都一直名列前茅,这完全是因为当地人大多是茶爱好者,他们经常喝茶。空处作of的宾语,应用they的宾格形式them。故填them。
【57题详解】
考查副词。句意:在我梦想访问中国城市中,成都一直名列前茅,这完全是因为当地人大多是茶爱好者,他们经常喝茶。空处修饰动词drank,frequent的副词形式frequently符合题意,意为“经常”。故填frequently。
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意:成都的日常生活方式深深吸引了我,或许因为这是一种我能理解的习惯。结合“me greatly”可知,动词短语appeal to“吸引”符合题意,表示“深深吸引了我”。故填to。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:我常常在奥克兰的咖啡馆里待上几个小时,思考我的哲学和文学课程。句子主干成分完整,空处的行为和谓语行为同时发生,作伴随状语,think about“思考”和I逻辑上是主动关系,因此用think的现在分词形式。故填thinking。
【60题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:从我所读到的关于成都的内容中,我得出结论:那里的人们与我有相同的看法。空处引导名词性从句作From的宾语,宾语从句中read缺少宾语,结合“I had read of Chengdu”可知,宾语指物,应用连接代词what作引导词。故填what。
【61题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:我一直喜欢中国的一点是,他们尊重那些倾向于从容生活的人。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,主语The one thing是单数,be动词应用is。故填is。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意:我一直喜欢中国的一点是,他们尊重那些倾向于从容生活的人。空处作have的宾语,tend的名词形式tendency符合题意,意为“倾向”。故填tendency。
【63题详解】
考查冠词。句意:如果你渴望有所成就,最好从一杯浓郁滚烫的绿茶开始。空处表示泛指,意为“一杯浓郁滚烫的绿茶”,应用不定冠词,且strong的发音以辅音音素开头,应用a。故填a。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:成都和其他努力追求富裕的城市一样繁忙,然而,它的文化根基依然深厚,至今仍能感受到。struggle to do是固定短语,意为“努力做某事”,空处应用become的不定式形式。故填to become。
【65题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:成都和其他努力追求富裕的城市一样繁忙,然而,它的文化根基依然深厚,至今仍能感受到。空处和can构成谓语,feel“感受”和主语the roots之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,且情态动词后be动词应用原形。故填be felt。

Dear Tom,
I’m excited about your upcoming trip to China! I highly recommend Gong Bao Chicken, which is my favorite. This dish, believed to have originated from Qing Dynasty, features tender chicken cubes, crunchy peanuts, and red peppers.
What makes it special is its perfect combination of flavors — spicy, salty, sweet, and sour all in one bite. Moreover, it’s not overly spicy, so it’s great for introducing you to the wonders of Sichuan cuisine. I’m sure you’ll find it absolutely hard to resist a true taste of China!
Looking forward to hearing about your culinary adventures in China!

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 a quiet town located between rolling hills and vast forests lived a girl named Aria. She had grown up surrounded by nature’s wonders — the sparkling (波光粼粼的) river that flowed through the town, the towering trees that whispered secrets in the wind, and the fields that burst into colors every spring. Aria’s favorite spot was a towering oak tree at the edge of the forest, which her grandmother used to say had been standing there for over a hundred years.
For as long as she could remember, Aria had found peace beneath its branches. It was her place where the world felt right, and everything seemed eternal. But over the years, things started to change. The village with towering trees had been replaced by a place with modern buildings and shopping centers, where plastic bags and waste can be seen everywhere. The paths hidden in the town had been turned into broad roads. Winters grew warmer, the river ran lower, and the once-lively fields seemed to lose their energy. Every season felt different, more unpredictable than the last.
One day, as Aria sat beneath the oak tree, she noticed something that made her upset. The tree, which had once been full of life, had begun to lose its leaves far earlier than usual. It wasn’t autumn, yet the leaves were dry and brittle (脆弱的), falling one by one with wind. She pressed her hand against the trunk. It seemed weaker somehow, as if the tree was trying to hold on. “Why are you losing your leaves?” Aria whispered to the oak.
Of course, the tree didn’t answer, but deep down, she knew the cause. For years, Aria had heard talks of climate change — on the news, in her school, in conversations between her parents — but it always felt distant, like something happening far away. Now, it was right here in front of her, affecting the place she loved most.
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。
Determined to find the exact answer, Aria set off to the library.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next day, Aria organized a meeting at the town hall, where she shared what she had learned with her friends and family.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Determined to find the exact answer, Aria set off to the library. She pored over books about the environment. The more she learned, the more she realized how serious the problem was. With trees being destroyed and more cars pouring into the streets, exhaust gas polluted the air severely. All these contributed to rising global temperatures, speeding up the aging process of the leaves. After weeks of research, Aria sat beneath the oak tree, knowing sadly that it was also a victim of the warming planet. “We still have time,” she said, as if reassuring the oak tree.
The next day Aria organized a meeting at the town hall, where she shared what she had learned with her friends and family. She encouraged everyone to plant trees, and switch to renewable energy. At first, not everyone understood the urgency. Some believed it was too big for a small town to make a difference. But Aria didn’t give up persuading them. Slowly, people around her began to change. Solar products appeared on their rooftops, and gardens were planted in backyards. Aria’s determination spread, and soon neighboring towns joined in, creating a movement that extended far beyond her small community.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物的环保行动为线索展开,女孩Aria在自然环绕的小镇长大,尤其钟爱一棵百年橡树。然而,现代化和气候变化逐渐破坏了环境:树木被砍伐,河流干涸,橡树也因全球变暖提前落叶。Aria意识到问题的严重性,深入研究并组织社区行动,倡导植树和使用可再生能源。尽管起初面临质疑,她的坚持最终激发了小镇及邻近地区的环保行动,掀起了一场广泛的环保运动。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“为了找到确切的答案,Aria前往图书馆”可知,第一段可描写Aria了解到环境污染、全球变暖的知识,意识到问题很严重,打算赶紧采取行动,对橡树和周围环境进行保护。
②由第二段首句内容“第二天,Aria在市镇集会所组织了一次会议,在那里她与她的朋友和家人分享了她所学到的东西”可知,第二段可描写Aria鼓励大家践行环保,一开始面临质疑,但她坚持不懈地说服,最终大家加入了环保行动。
2. 续写线索:Aria前往图书馆找答案——Aria了解相关知识——Aria打算采取行动——Aria组织会议——Aria倡导环保——大家加入环保行动
3. 词汇激活
行为类
①意识到:realize/recognize
②毁掉:destroy/ruin/devastate
③导致:contribute to/lead to/bring about
④放弃:give up/quit

[高分句型2] After weeks of research, Aria sat beneath the oak tree, knowing sadly that it was also a victim of the warming planet. (现在分词knowing作状语、that引导宾语从句)

A
Hong Kong was once seen as a cultural desert. But since around 1997, when it returned to China, the idea of an arts enclave (艺术飞地) emerged. After nearly 30 years, the West Kowloon Cultural District has formed, with world-class venues. Here’s a guide to what’s new.
Free Space
As the name suggests, this performing-arts center is designed to be flexible and imaginative. The bunker-like complex houses a black box theater and studios for experimental performances and dance, as well as the Lau Bak Livehouse, a coffeehouse and bar with live music on weekends.
Hong Kong Palace Museum
Resembling a Chinese gold ingot (金元宝), this museum showcases artifacts from China’s imperial palaces, including Ming dynasty ceramics, scroll paintings, and double-headed dragons from the National Palace Museum in Beijing’s Forbidden City.
Art Park
Hugging the waterfront promenade, this expansive lawn is an ideal place for joggers, picnickers, museum-goers, and dog walkers. There are more than a dozen places to eat and drink throughout — around sunset, grab a seat at one of the harbor side cafés below the Palace Museum. The facilities are spotless, too.
Xiqu Center
This performance hall, which hosts Cantonese opera, has an exterior with aluminum shingles that resemble fish scales. A large opening fills the atrium (中庭) with breezes and natural light. Even if xiqu (Chinese opera) isn’t your cup of tea, the public atrium is an inviting place to rest before exploring the shops along Canton Road.
21. What do Free Space and Art Park have in common?
A. People can walk dogs there. B. People can enjoy coffee there.
C. People can listen to music there. D. People can watch the sunset there.
22. Which of the following does the Hong Kong Palace Museum display?
A. Modern art. B. Gold ingot. C. Chinese artifacts. D. Opera costumes.
23. What can we do in Xiqu Center?
A. Go fishing. B. Take a break. C. Have a cup of tea. D. Enjoy light shows.
B
Three days ahead of his 20th birthday, Pan Zhanle of China produced a swim at the Paris Olympics that catapulted him to Olympic gold and international attention. Pan broke his own world record in the 100 metres freestyle, his time of 46.40 seconds at Paris La Defense Arena destroying his previous best of 46.80, set in February.
Born in Wenzhou, Pan is regarded as China’s “flying fish”. Outstanding fitness earned him a spot in the Wenzhou Youth Swimming School’s talent class at the age of four. “Once I started swimming, I couldn’t stop.” Aged 10, Pan made a splash with seven gold medals in five days during the 2014 Zhejiang Provincial Games.
His commitment was such that whereas most swimmers’ mistakes or shortcomings would lead coaches to impose (强加) harder training, Pan’s coach would instead reduce his training as a form of discipline. “I would punish him by not allowing him to get in the pool, and he would feel really uncomfortable,” Pan’s former coach Wang Shi told Chinese media. “He just really loves swimming.” In 2023, Pan made his move. He broke the Asian record in the men’s 100m freestyle at the Chinese national championships with a time of 47.22, a mark he then beat again at that year’s Asian Games in Hangzhou, with 46.97.
In 2022, American swimming coach Mark Schubert suggested that Pan switch to the individual medley (个人混合泳比赛), on the basis that Chinese swimmers were unlikely to beat those of other nations as 100m freestyle specialists. His conclusion seemed to act as a challenge to Pan. “I’m rebellious (叛逆的) by nature,” Pan replied to Schubert after Doha, showing him his gold medal. “The more others doubt my abilities, the more determined I am to prove them wrong.”
24. Why does the author mention the previous record set in February?
A. To show the record is extremely hard to break. B. To show Pan has gained international attention.
C. To indicate the fierce competition in swimming. D. To indicate Pan’s capacity to go beyond himself.
25. What do the underlined words “made a splash” probably mean?
A. Attracted great attention. B. Earned a big fortune. C. Started a better training. D. Caused some trouble.
26. What would make Pan unhappy in the training?
A. Failing to meet the coach's standard. B. Being forbidden to swim in the pool.
C. Getting involved in much harder training. D. Being punished to train for a longer time.
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Pan was inspired by the American coach. B. Pan always goes against the coach’s advice.
C. Doubt motivates Pan rather than beats him. D. Showing off his gold medals is Pan’s habit.
C
In today’s interconnected world, maintaining personal independence is more important than ever. While cooperating with and relying on others are essential aspects of modern life, an overdependence on external (外部的) systems, technology, or individuals can gradually destroy autonomy, kill personal growth, and compromise one’s ability to deal with challenges.
First, independence develops self-reliance and adaptability. In a rapidly changing world, individuals must adapt to unexpected circumstances, from economic downturns (衰退) to technological disruptions. For example, someone who has developed financial knowledge and self-sufficiency is better equipped to handle economic challenges than someone who relies entirely on others for support. Independence enables individuals to take control of their lives and make informed decisions without being overly influenced by external forces.
Second, independence promotes personal growth and self-fulfillment. Relying too much on others can limit one’s opportunities to explore, take risks, and learn from mistakes. When individuals independently pursue their goals and passions, they gain confidence, skills, and a sense of purpose. For example, starting a personal project or business without external backing challenges people to innovate and think critically, developing creativity and problem-solving abilities.
Maintaining independence protects individuality and personal identity in a world where conformity (遵从) is often encouraged. Social media and cultural trends can pressure individuals to agree with popular opinions or adopt popular lifestyles, potentially hiding their true selves. Independence allows people to form their own beliefs, values, and priorities, making them more empowered to contribute uniquely to society.
Critics might argue that independence risks isolation or the loss of community values. However, independence does not prevent cooperation or meaningful relationships. In fact, truly independent individuals often bring more value to relationships because they contribute from a place of strength and confidence rather than dependency.
Maintaining independence in today’s society is vital for personal growth. While mutual support and interdependence are valuable, they should not come at the cost of autonomy. Keeping a balance between cooperation and independence ensures individuals can thrive in an ever-evolving world.
28. Who may handle economic challenges better according to Paragraph 2?
A. People depending on themselves. B. People making innovative decisions.
C. People influenced by external forces. D. People relying on unexpected settings.
29. Why does independence matter in a world encouraging conformity?
A. It makes people form common beliefs. B. It allows people to maintain self-hood.
C. It enables people to lead cultural trends. D. It helps people develop their intelligence.
30. Which can best describe an independent person in relationships?
A. Confident and helpful. B. Isolated and indifferent.
C. Cooperative and proud. D. Critical and autonomous.
31. How is the passage mainly developed?
A. By inferring and comparing. B. By showing cause and effect.
C. By giving opinions and examples. D. By stating problems and solutions.
D
Heating and lighting buildings consume a significant portion of global energy — about 18%, according to the International Energy Agency. Many buildings have outdated HVAC systems (空调通风系统) that respond slowly to weather changes, leading to energy waste. However, AI is seen as a potential solution. While AI itself can be energy-intensive — Microsoft has acknowledged that its AI development threatens climate goals — experts believe AI can improve energy efficiency in large buildings. A 2024 study suggests that AI could reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions in buildings by at least 8%, and initial efforts to integrate AI into HVAC systems have been promising.
Sam Ramadori, CEO of BrainBox AI, explains that large buildings often have thousands of HVAC components that need to work together efficiently. His company’s technology uses predictive AI to send instructions every five minutes to various parts of the system, optimizing energy use and comfort. For example, the AI system at 45 Broadway begins warming the building in prediction of a cold front, and it adjusts heat distribution based on sunlight exposure.
Researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have also explored AI’s potential in building efficiency. Their study suggests that integrating AI with HVAC systems could reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions by 8% to 19%, or even more with active policy measures. AI can help minimize a building’s carbon footprint throughout its lifecycle, from design to maintenance, by predicting equipment failures and reducing downtime (停工期).
Other initiatives have shown similar benefits. In Stockholm, AI tools were applied in 87 HVAC systems in educational facilities, resulting in an annual reduction of 64 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (等量) and an 8% decrease in electricity usage. The University of Maryland’s Center for Environmental Energy Engineering also supports the idea that AI can significantly reduce power consumption in complex HVAC systems, especially those with both indoor and outdoor units.
As the globe warms, efficient cooling systems will be increasingly important. Arash Zarmehr, a building performance consultant at the engineering firm WSP, says that “All engineers are aware that human controls on HVAC systems reduce efficiencies.” He says, “AI can help us move toward the actual decarbonization of buildings.”
32. What does the 2024 study show?
A. AI contributes to climate change. B. AI consumes much global energy.
C. AI decreases energy consumption. D. AI is widely used in HVAC systems.
33. How can AI help building efficiency?
A. By shortening a building’s lifecycle. B. By minimizing HVAC’s components.
C. By regulating heat distribution randomly. D. By telling equipment failures in advance.
34. What is Arash Zarmehr’s attitude towards the use of AI?
A. Favorable. B. Neutral. C. Skeptical. D. Pessimistic.
35. What can be the best title of the text?
A. The Challenges of AI’s Rise B. The Energy Use in Buildings
C. The Impact of HVAC Systems D. AI’s Application in a New Field

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 a quiet town located between rolling hills and vast forests lived a girl named Aria. She had grown up surrounded by nature’s wonders — the sparkling (波光粼粼的) river that flowed through the town, the towering trees that whispered secrets in the wind, and the fields that burst into colors every spring. Aria’s favorite spot was a towering oak tree at the edge of the forest, which her grandmother used to say had been standing there for over a hundred years.
For as long as she could remember, Aria had found peace beneath its branches. It was her place where the world felt right, and everything seemed eternal. But over the years, things started to change. The village with towering trees had been replaced by a place with modern buildings and shopping centers, where plastic bags and waste can be seen everywhere. The paths hidden in the town had been turned into broad roads. Winters grew warmer, the river ran lower, and the once-lively fields seemed to lose their energy. Every season felt different, more unpredictable than the last.
One day, as Aria sat beneath the oak tree, she noticed something that made her upset. The tree, which had once been full of life, had begun to lose its leaves far earlier than usual. It wasn’t autumn, yet the leaves were dry and brittle (脆弱的), falling one by one with wind. She pressed her hand against the trunk. It seemed weaker somehow, as if the tree was trying to hold on. “Why are you losing your leaves?” Aria whispered to the oak.
Of course, the tree didn’t answer, but deep down, she knew the cause. For years, Aria had heard talks of climate change — on the news, in her school, in conversations between her parents — but it always felt distant, like something happening far away. Now, it was right here in front of her, affecting the place she loved most.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Determined to find the exact answer, Aria set off to the library.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next day, Aria organized a meeting at the town hall, where she shared what she had learned with her friends and family.
