第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
The Camino de Santiago
How long is the Camino de Santiago? That depends. Some take on the all-Spanish 1, 000 km Via de la Plata route from Seville to Santiago to Compostela, while the most popular route, from Saint Jean Pied de Port in France-sometimes called the Camino Francés or French Way-is 790 km.
A popular 116 km hike, ideal for 10 days of leisurely walking, is known as the English Way-not because English Christians prefer camping and pub stops to walking, but because it is believed the route, from Ferrol on the Galician Coast, was used by pilgrims (朝圣者) arriving from Britain and Ireland. The English Way starts with coastal views and passes through the small towns of Pontedeume and Betanzos, and lots of wooded and agricultural areas.
Top Tip
With a Pilgrim’s Credential, you qualify for lodgings (住宿), which have bunk beds (双层床铺) and shared facilities and cost from just £5-6 a night.
When to Go
This part of Spain has relatively mild weather year round. March to October are likely to be best for sunshine, but rain is always possible here.
Do It Yourself
Fly with Vueling (vueling, com) from London Gatwick to A Coruña, with returns £100, or take a boat from Plymouth to Santander (£150 return).
A Coruña to Ferrol by train takes an hour and 10 minutes and costs £5.5.
Lodging costs for 10 days come to about £60.
The 40-minute train from Santiago de Compostela to A Coruña costs £5.5.
1. Why is the English Way famous?
A. It appeals to English Christians. B. It was once employed by pilgrims.
C. It is suitable for comfortable walking. D. It showed beautiful scenery along the route.
2. Which month will you choose if you love sunshine?
A. January. B. February. C. June. D. December.
3. How should visitors go from Plymouth to Santander?
A. By air. B. By rail. C. By car. D. By water.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D

Soaring to 29, 035 feet, the famous Mount Everest had long been considered unclimbable due to the freezing weather, the obvious potential fall from cliffs and the effects of the extreme high altitude, often called “mountain sickness.” But that was to be changed by Edmund Hillary.
When he was invited to join the British Everest expedition in 1953, Edmund Hillary was a highly capable climber. The glacier-covered peaks in his hometown in New Zealand proved a perfect training ground for the Himalaya. It was his fourth Himalayan expedition in just over two years and he was at the peak of fitness.
On May 28, 1953, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, an experienced Sherpa (夏尔巴人) set out and reached the South Summit by 9 a. m. next day. But after that, the ridge (山脊) slightly fell before rising suddenly in a rocky spur (尖坡) about 17 meters high just before the true summit. The formation is difficult to climb due to its extreme pitch because a mistake would be deadly. Scratching at the snow with his ax, Hillary managed to overcome this enormous obstacle, later to be known as the Hillary Step.
At 11:30 a. m, the two men found themselves standing at the top of the world. “Not until we were about 50 feet of the top was I ever completely convinced that we were actually going to reach the summit.” Hillary later recounted, “Of course I was very, very pleased to be on the summit, but my first thought was a little bit of surprise. After all, this is the ambition of all mountaineers.”
Emerging as the first to summit Mount Everest, Hillary Hillary continued by helping explore Antarctica, and establishing the Himalayan Trust (信托基金), through which he provided a number of beneficial services to the Himalayan peoples. He also a sizeable legacy that mountain climbers have chased ever since. As a young climber said, “It was not just Hillary and Tenzing that reached the summit of Mount Everest. It was all of humanity. Suddenly, all of us could go.”
4. What made Edmund Hillary a capable climber on the 1953 expedition?
A. His undisputed reputation. B. His remarkable physical condition.
C. His previous training on Mount Everest. D. His exceptional ability to adapt to the cold.
5. What does the Hillary Step refer to?
A. A mistake Hillary avoided making. B. A steep spur of rock Hillary conquered.
C. An ax Hillary used to scratch snow. D. A sudden fall of a ridge Hillary skipped.
6. What was Hillary’s initial feeling upon reaching the summit of Mount Everest?
A. Overwhelming joy. B. Enormous pride.
C. Complete disbelief. D. A touch of astonishment.
7. What was the impact of Hillary’s achievement on mountaineering?
A. It opens up possibilities for other climbers.
B. It enabled him to give back to his hometown.
C. It left financial benefits for climbers to pursue.
D. It led to friendly regulations for mountaineering.
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了登山者Edmund Hillary攀登珠峰的尝试以及他对后人的影响。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“It was his fourth Himalayan expedition in just over two years and he was at the peak of fitness.(这是他在两年多的时间里第四次去喜马拉雅探险,他正处于健康的巅峰)”可知,是卓越的身体状况让埃德蒙·希拉里在1953年的探险中成为一名有能力的登山者。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But after that, the ridge slightly fell before rising suddenly in a rocky spur about 17 meters high just before the true summit. The formation is difficult to climb due to its extreme pitch because a mistake would be deadly. Scratching at the snow with his ax, Hillary managed to overcome this enormous obstacle, later to be known as the Hillary Step.(但在那之后,山脊略有下降,然后在真正的顶峰前突然上升,形成一个约17米高的岩石尖坡。由于坡度太大,这个阵型很难攀爬,因为一个错误将是致命的。希拉里用斧头刨雪,克服了这个巨大的障碍,后来被称为“希拉里台阶”)”可知,“希拉里台阶”指的是希拉里征服了一处陡峭的岩尖。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Of course I was very, very pleased to be on the summit, but my first thought was a little bit of surprise.(当然,我非常非常高兴能登上顶峰,但我的第一个想法是有点惊讶)”可知,希拉里登上珠穆朗玛峰的第一感觉有点惊讶。故选D。

细节理解题。根据最后一段“He also a sizeable legacy that mountain climbers have chased ever since. As a young climber said, “It was not just Hillary and Tenzing that reached the summit of Mount Everest. It was all of humanity. Suddenly, all of us could go.”(他还留下了一笔可观的遗产,从那以后,登山者们一直在追逐他。正如一位年轻的登山者所说,“登上珠穆朗玛峰顶峰的不只是希拉里和丹增。这是全人类。突然间,我们所有人都可以去了。”)”可知,希拉里的成就为其他登山者提供了可能性。故选A。
C
With his fingertips, Jose Pedro Gonzalez examined a small-scale model of Barcelona’s famous Sagrada Familia church in an exhibition that allows a particular group of visitors to discover some of the world’s best- known monuments.
“I am born without the ability to perceive the world with my eyes. This is the first time I have got a general idea of what the monument is like, what the space inside is like,” Gonzalez said with excitement as he explored the wooden copy of the beautiful church created by the famous architect Antoni Gaudi.
The Typhlological Museum in Madrid, Spain, boasts 37 reproductions of globally famous monuments, all listed as world heritage sites. Established in 1992 by ONCE, Spain’s national organization for the blind with 71,000 members, the museum’s name comes from the Greek word “tuphlos,” meaning blind. Crafted from wood, stone, metal, or resin (树脂), these models are accessible to all visitors, providing a hands- on experience of the architecture. According to Mireia Rodriguez, a visually impaired (受损) guide, there is no other museum in the world with such a unique collection.
In 2023, the museum received 16,000 visitors. Besides the architectural models, the museum also showcases artwork by visually impaired artists and displays tools and equipment used in the past to assist blind individuals in accessing culture, including Braille books. After exploring a room filled with models of Spain’s famous landmarks, such as the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Madrid’s Royal Palace, and the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral, Gonzalez praised the exhibition as “really marvelous.” Another room displays international icons like the Taj Mahal, London Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, and the Eiffel Tower.
For people like Gonzalez, despite detailed explanations, they can never get a proper image of what exhibits are like without fingertips, which undoubtedly have created a lot of frustration. The fact that there are spaces like this is fantastic.
8. What can be learned about Gonzalez?
A. He loses his sight. B. He works in the museum.
C. He is an architect. D. He visits the church regularly.
9. What does the underlined word “boasts” probably mean in paragraph 3?
A. Sorts. B. Restores.
C. Lacks. D. Houses.
10. What makes the Typhlological Museum unique?
A. It provides models available to touch.
B. It displays the artworks of blind artists.
C. It focuses on historic architectural designs.
D. It receives the most visitors all over the world.
11. What might be a suitable title for the text?
A. Church in Barcelona: Spain’s Architectural Wonder
B. Delicate Models: Reproductions of World Landmarks
C. Museum in Madrid: A Special Experience for the Blind
D. The Typhlological Museum: A Visual Feast for Architects
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了西班牙马德里一个独特的博物馆。该博物馆陈列了世界各地著名建筑的复刻模型供盲人触摸、感受从未见过的建筑奇迹。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段第一句“With his fingertips(用指尖)”和第二段“I am born without the ability to perceive the world with my eyes. This is the first time I have got a general idea of what the monument is like, what the space inside is like(我生来就没有用眼睛感知世界的能力。这是我第一次感受纪念碑的样子,对里面的空间有了一个大致的了解)”可知,Gonzalez是失明的,只能靠手去感受博物馆的模型,故选A。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段的“The Typhlological Museum in Madrid, Spain(西班牙马德里的Typhlological博物馆)”和“37 reproductions of globally famous monuments, all listed as world heritage sites(37个世界著名古迹的复制品,都被列为世界遗产)”可知,该博物馆“陈列或拥有”37 个复刻品,划线词boasts的意思是“陈列或拥有”,和houses意思相近。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段的“ Crafted from wood, stone, metal, or resin (树脂), these models are accessible to all visitors, providing a hands- on experience of the architecture.According to Mireia Rodriguez, a visually impaired (受损) guide, there is no other museum in the world with such a unique collection.(这些模型由木材、石头、金属或树脂制作而成,所有游客都可以访问,提供建筑的亲身体验。据视障导游Mireia Rodriguez介绍,世界上没有其他博物馆拥有如此独特的藏品。)”可知,这个博物馆独一无二之处在于能让盲人通过触摸感受模型、感知世界,故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第三段“The Typhlological Museum in Madrid, Spain, boasts 37 reproductions of globally famous monuments, all listed as world heritage sites. Established in 1992 by ONCE, Spain’s national organization for the blind with71,000 members, the museum’s name comes from the Greek word “tuphlos,” meaning blind.(西班牙马德里Typhlological博物馆拥有37个世界著名古迹的复制品,它们都被列为世界遗产。1992年,拥有7.1万名会员的西班牙国家盲人组织ONCE成立了这座博物馆,博物馆的名字来自希腊语“tuphlos”,意思是盲人。)”可知,本文主要介绍了西班牙马德里的The Typhlological Museum,其独特之处在于提供各地著名建筑的复刻模型供盲人触摸、感受从未见过的建筑奇迹,因此最恰当的题目是C选项“Museum in Madrid: A Special Experience for the Blind(马德里博物馆:盲人的特殊体验)”。故选C。
D
In 2022, campaign group Fashion Revolution Chelsea dye a garden for its Chelsea Flower Show presentation. An ancient craft, natural dyeing is a practice whose time has come again, with hand tie-dyed fashion also making a comeback in recent years.
The revival has been encouraged by Covid lockdowns, “which allowed people to explore the craft at home, says natural-dyeing enthusiast and teacher Susan Dye. It’s unlikely, though, that the practice would have caught on in quite the same way if not for a continually growing discomfort about fashion’s heavy footprint. From carbon emissions to animal cruelty, fashion is under considerable inspection. “Put it this way, 97% of dyes used in the industry are petrochemically (石油化学产品) based,” says sustainable fashion consultant Jackie Andrews, who helped advise the UN Ethical Fashion Initiative. We’ve got net zero targets which mean we’re going to have to remove all those petrochemicals from the manufacturing cycle.
Fashion is a huge polluter. According to the UN Environment Program, the industry is responsible for up to one-fifth of all industrial water pollution—due to the fact that most clothes today are produced in poorer countries where regulation is weak and enforcement weaker. Waste water is dumped directly into rivers and streams, poisoning the land as well as the water sources of people and animals who rely on them.
It’s easy to see why someone who cares about people, planet and animals, as well as clothes, might turn to natural plant dyeing. From the beauty of the raw materials—often wild plants-to the property of only bonding with natural fiber like cotton and linen (亚麻布) from the minor footprint of recycling old clothing that has grayed or faded over time to the vibrant and long-lasting dyeing results, plant dyeing feels like a quiet act of rebellion. This is why, while beginners start with simply changing their clothes’ color, new worlds open. Many of today’s natural dyers grow their own dye plants, run local community workshops, and advocate for change in industrialized fashion systems and beyond.
12. What is the main reason for the growing discomfort mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. The adoption of petrochemical-based dyes
B. The disturbing consequences of the fashion industry.
C. The fashion industry’s focus on luxurious designs.
D. The challenging net zero targets to be achieved.
13. How does the author illustrate Fashion is a huge polluter?
A. By making a comparison. B. By listing numbers
C. By giving examples. D. By introducing a new topic
14. What does the underlined phrase a quiet act of rebellion in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. A protest against turning to natural fiber.
B. An objection to recycling old clothing
C. A resistance to vibrant colors in natural dyeing
D. A struggle for a sustainable fashion industry
15. What would be the most suitable title for the passage?
A. The Environmental Impact of Natural Dyeing
B. The Return of Natural Dyeing with Ethical Appeal
C. Fashion Revolution’s Dye Garden Presentation
D. The Petrochemical Dye Industry and Its Challenges
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了天然染色工艺的回归。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“It’s unlikely, though, that the practice would have caught on in quite the same way if not for a continually growing discomfort about fashion’s heavy footprint. From carbon emissions to animal cruelty, fashion is under considerable inspection. (然而,如果不是因为人们对时尚的沉重足迹不断感到不安,这种做法不太可能以同样的方式流行起来。从碳排放到虐待动物,时尚都受到了严格的检查。)”可知,时尚业也存在碳排放到虐待动物问题,所以人们感到不适是因为时尚产业令人不安的后果。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Fashion is a huge polluter. According to the UN Environment Program, the industry is responsible for up to one-fifth of all industrial water pollution—due to the fact that most clothes today are produced in poorer countries where regulation is weak and enforcement weaker. Waste water is dumped directly into rivers and streams, poisoning the land as well as the water sources of people and animals who rely on them. (时尚是一个巨大的污染者。根据联合国环境规划署的数据,服装业造成的水污染占所有工业水污染的五分之一,原因是如今大多数服装都是在监管薄弱、执法不力的较贫穷国家生产的。废水被直接排入河流和小溪,污染了土地,也污染了赖以生存的人和动物的水源。)”可知,这一段用实际例子来说明时尚是一个巨大的污染源。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“It’s easy to see why someone who cares about people, planet and animals, as well as clothes, might turn to natural plant dyeing. From the beauty of the raw materials—often wild plants-to the property of only bonding with natural fiber like cotton and linen (亚麻布) from the minor footprint of recycling old clothing that has grayed or faded over time to the vibrant and long-lasting dyeing results, plant dyeing feels like a quiet act of rebellion. (很容易理解为什么一个关心人类、地球和动物以及衣服的人会转向天然植物染色。从原材料的美丽,到只与天然纤维结合的特性,从回收旧衣服随着时间的推移变灰或褪色的微小足迹,到充满活力和持久的染色效果,植物染色感觉像是一种安静的反叛行为。)”可知,这里描述植物染色和化学染色不一样,所以它是对化学染色的反抗,是对可持续发展的维护,所以画线部分的意思应该是“为可持续发展而做斗争”。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“In 2022, campaign group Fashion Revolution Chelsea dye a garden for its Chelsea Flower Show presentation. An ancient craft, natural dyeing is a practice whose time has come again, with hand tie-dyed fashion also making a comeback in recent years. (2022年,活动组织“切尔西时尚革命”为其切尔西花展的展示染了一座花园。自然染色是一种古老的工艺,它的时代又来了,近年来,手工扎染时尚也卷土重来。)”可知,本文主要介绍天然染色工艺的回归。B项“自然染色的回归与伦理诉求”符合本文的标题。故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,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。
We've all heard those people who say “running gives you a high “or” exercise is addictive,” but for many of us, it's hard to love exercise. ___16___ Why do some of us hate exercise? And how can we overcome this to reap the lifesaving benefits of getting the body moving?
Identify your “why” — do you want to exercise for your health? Is it for your kids? Is it for how working out makes you feel? Exercise has long-term benefits for health and function, flow-on benefits for your children, and can boost your mood and promote vitality. ___17___
___18___ Starting a new exercise habit is hard enough. Increase your chances of sticking with it by doing an activity you find enjoyable. Also, you may exercise more intensively without even realizing it, if you are doing a form of exercise you enjoy. If you hate running, don’t do it. ___19___ Start small. Leave yourself wanting more, rather than overdoing it. You are also less likely to feel sore or injure yourself.
Arrange to meet a friend to exercise together. It’s very easy not to go and exercise when you' re relying on yourself — but with a friend, you can use him or her for motivation to make sure you stick at what you set out to do. ___20___ Meanwhile, research suggests people exercise for longer when they exercise with family members and friends compared with those exercising alone.
A. Do an activity you take pleasure in.
B. Go for a long walk in nature instead.
C. Some might even say they hate it or dread it.
D. You’ll enjoy exercising by rewarding yourself.
E. A fitness professional can be a reliable friend to provide suggestions.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章给不喜爱运动的人士提出了几条培养运动兴趣的建议。
【16题详解】
前一句“it’s hard to love exercise(很难爱上运动)”提到很难爱上运动,结合下文中“Why do some of us hate exercise?( 为什么有些人讨厌运动?)”提到讨厌运动,故空处和前文是递进关系,即有人甚至讨厌运动,C项“有些人甚至会说他们讨厌或害怕它”符合语境,C项中的“even”可以体现出两句的递进关系,故选C。
【17题详解】
空处位于段末,是对于整个段落的总结概括,根据本段主题句“Identify your “why” — do you want to exercise for your health?(确定你的“为什么”——你想为了健康而运动吗?)”可知,本段中心是在讲需要弄清楚你为什么运动,你可以从中获得什么,F项“明确你想从锻炼中获得什么可以帮助你开始”是对于本段的再次概括,故选F。
【18题详解】
本空位于段首,是段落主题句,根据本段中“by doing an activity you find enjoyable(通过做一项你觉得有趣的活动)”以及“doing a form of exercise you enjoy(正在做一种你喜欢的运动)”可知,本段主要是讲要做自己喜欢的运动,A项“做一项你喜欢的活动”符合语境,故选A。
【19题详解】
前句“If you hate running, don’t do it.(如果你讨厌跑步,那就不要跑步)”提到如果讨厌跑步,就不要去跑步,下文“Start small.(从小处着手)”建议读者从小事做起,循序渐进。B项“去大自然中散步吧”承接上句,符合语境,故选B。
【20题详解】
前句“It’s very easy not to go and exercise when you’re relying on yourself — but with a friend, you can use him or her for motivation to make sure you stick at what you set out to do.(当你依靠自己的时候,不去锻炼是很容易的——但是和朋友在一起,你可以用他或她的动力来确保你坚持你的计划)”提到,和朋友一起锻炼,可以把朋友当作动力,这样应是更有可能坚持下去,G项“你们会更有可能坚持到底,因为你们不想让对方失望”承接上句,符合语境,故选G。

37. on##upon
38. enthusiastic
39. has fueled
40. further
41. played 42. a
43. to provide
44. whose 45. boundaries
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了Matteo乐队如何结合美中乐器创造独特音乐。
【36题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。句意:Eric Chipman 在2005年作为志愿者在中国工作时首次遇到了古筝,一种中国弦乐器。while引导时间状语从句,结合语意可知,从句主语与主句主语一致,为Eric Chipman,且从句描述的是过去正在进行的动作,应用过去进行时,即was working,状语从句中,从句主语与主句主语一致,且从句中含有be动词,则从句中的主语和be动词可以省略。故填working。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:这段经历对他产生了深远的影响,为他未来的音乐生涯铺平了道路。have impact on/upon是固定搭配,表示“对……产生影响”,所以空处应用介词on/upon。故填on/upon。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意:从中国回国后,Chipman和他的妻子组建了Matteo,当他在中国教英语时,妻子也对中国音乐充满热情。be enthusiastic about是固定搭配,表示“对……有热情”,所以空处应用形容词enthusiastic作表语。故填enthusiastic。
【39题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:在接受采访时,他承认自己受到了Chipman对东方乐器的热爱的启发,这反过来又激发了他对东方乐器极大的热情。根据句中since可知,从句应用现在完成时,从句主语which指代的先行词是deep love,所以谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。故填has fueled。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:最近,乐队在成都四川大学度过了六周的时间,进一步提高了他们结合东西方乐器的技能。结合语意可知,乐队在四川大学度过的时间进一步提高了他们结合东西方乐器的技能,所以空处应用副词的比较级形式further。故填further。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他们的第一张EP《四川计划》以中国乐器演奏的美国民间音乐为特色,展示了两种不同音乐风格混合形成的独特特征。句中已有谓语demonstrates,空处作非谓语动词,play与逻辑主语American folk music之间是被动关系,所以空处应用过去分词形式作后置定语。故填played。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意同上。结合语意可知,此处表示一种独特的特征,unique是辅音音素开头的单词,前边应用不定冠词a。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:当被问及他为什么创建这个乐队时,Chipman解释说,他的目标是为观众提供一个关于中国音乐的新视角,中国音乐的创新声音表明中国传统乐器可以融入现代音乐。空处作句子表语,表示主语的目的,应用动词不定式形式。故填to provide。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意同上。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Chinese music,关系词在从句中作定语,应用关系代词whose引导从句。故填whose。
【45题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:通过舞动的手指和琴弦,Matteo正在为弥合西方和东方世界之间的文化界限尽自己的一份力量。boundary是可数名词,空处用于表示文化和地理上的界限,应用名词复数boundaries,表示泛指。故填boundaries。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Lily was renowned for her desire to achieve perfection in everything she undertook. Whether it was school projects, art assignments, or even helping her parents with household chores, Lily’s commitment to excellence was unwavering.
One sunny summer day, Lily’s family decided to spend a day at the beach. As they arrived, Lily’s eyes were immediately drawn by a group of children who playfully built and then tore down their sandcastles. They giggled and shouted, their excitement on full display. “How silly, ” she thought, not quite getting why they enjoyed doing that.
Lily, being herself, decided to build a perfect sandcastle that would become the envy of all beachgoers. She began to plan every detail in her mind, from the balanced structures of the towers to the delicate decorations. Then, she set about piling sand to make the towers and walls of her sandcastle. Painstakingly, she crafted each feature of her work, carefully smoothed the surfaces and adjusting every detail to her vision.
Jake, Lily’s younger brother, didn’t seem too concerned with building a fantastic sandcastle. He picked a spot nearby and amused himself with the sand. He scooped up handfuls of sand, let it slip through his fingers like grains of time, and then molded it into careless shapes with the carefree abandon of a child. Jake’s happiness was contagious. Mom and Dad joined him, laughing and joking over Jake’s playful creations. From time to time, they called out to Lily and invited her to join the fun, knowing that the pursuit of perfection could be exhausting.
Nevertheless, Lily stayed where she was, determined to create an impressive sandcastle. She frowned at Jake’s unconventional, abstract art-like sandcastle shapes and persisted in her efforts. However, the process didn’t go as smoothly as she had anticipated. The sand didn’t always hold its shape, and the waves constantly lapped at the edges of her creation.
Para 1: As the day wore on, Lily’s sandcastle kept losing its form.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para 2: With bitter smile, Lily decided to join her family.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】As the day wore on, Lily’s sandcastle kept losing its form. Despite her best efforts to mold and shape the sand, the waves and the wind seemed determined to undo her hard work. Frustration started to creep in as she watched her masterpiece crumble time and time again. Determined not to give up, Lily redoubled her efforts, trying to salvage what was left of her sandcastle. But no matter how hard she tried, the elements seemed to conspire against her. The once-perfect sandcastle now resembled a lopsided ruin, a stark reminder of her failed attempt at perfection.
With bitter smile, Lily decided to join her family. Sitting down next to Jake, she observed his carefree laughter and the joy on her parents’ faces. For the first time that day, she realized that perhaps there was more to life than striving for perfection. In that moment, Lily made a choice. She let go of her obsession with the sandcastle and joined in the fun. She laughed, played, and created sandcastles without the burden of expectations. It was in that moment that she truly began to understand the beauty of imperfection and the importance of enjoying the simple things in life.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Lily在海滩上建造沙堡的经历,并对比了她追求完美主义和弟弟Jake享受快乐的态度。通过这个故事,作者表达了接受并欣赏生活中的不完美和欢乐的重要性。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“随着时间的流逝,Lily的沙堡逐渐失去了形状。”以及第二段首句内容“带着苦涩的微笑,Lily决定加入她的家人。”可知,第一段可描写虽然Lily一直在努力,但是却阻止不了自己的沙堡被海浪毁了。
②由第二段首句内容“带着苦涩的微笑,Lily决定加入她的家人。”可知,第二段可描写Lily和家人堆沙堡时终于感悟到不完美也是快乐的。
2.续写线索:Lily是个追求完美的女孩——一天,全家一起去海滩玩——Lily看到一群孩子在推沙堡,然后又拆掉沙堡——Lily对此嗤之以鼻,决定堆一个完美的沙堡——Lily的弟弟Jake也漫不经心地开始玩沙子,随心所欲地将沙子塑造成各种样子——Lily努力堆着沙堡,可是海浪总是拍打着沙堡——Lily终于放弃了,加入了家人——没有了追求完美的压力,Lily终于开始真正享受玩沙子

A popular 116 km hike, ideal for 10 days of leisurely walking, is known as the English Way-not because English Christians prefer camping and pub stops to walking, but because it is believed the route, from Ferrol on the Galician Coast, was used by pilgrims (朝圣者) arriving from Britain and Ireland. The English Way starts with coastal views and passes through the small towns of Pontedeume and Betanzos, and lots of wooded and agricultural areas.

Soaring to 29, 035 feet, the famous Mount Everest had long been considered unclimbable due to the freezing weather, the obvious potential fall from cliffs and the effects of the extreme high altitude, often called “mountain sickness.” But that was to be changed by Edmund Hillary.
When he was invited to join the British Everest expedition in 1953, Edmund Hillary was a highly capable climber. The glacier-covered peaks in his hometown in New Zealand proved a perfect training ground for the Himalaya. It was his fourth Himalayan expedition in just over two years and he was at the peak of fitness.
On May 28, 1953, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, an experienced Sherpa (夏尔巴人) set out and reached the South Summit by 9 a. m. next day. But after that, the ridge (山脊) slightly fell before rising suddenly in a rocky spur (尖坡) about 17 meters high just before the true summit. The formation is difficult to climb due to its extreme pitch because a mistake would be deadly. Scratching at the snow with his ax, Hillary managed to overcome this enormous obstacle, later to be known as the Hillary Step.
At 11:30 a. m, the two men found themselves standing at the top of the world. “Not until we were about 50 feet of the top was I ever completely convinced that we were actually going to reach the summit.” Hillary later recounted, “Of course I was very, very pleased to be on the summit, but my first thought was a little bit of surprise. After all, this is the ambition of all mountaineers.”
Emerging as the first to summit Mount Everest, Hillary Hillary continued by helping explore Antarctica, and establishing the Himalayan Trust (信托基金), through which he provided a number of beneficial services to the Himalayan peoples. He also a sizeable legacy that mountain climbers have chased ever since. As a young climber said, “It was not just Hillary and Tenzing that reached the summit of Mount Everest. It was all of humanity. Suddenly, all of us could go.”
4. What made Edmund Hillary a capable climber on the 1953 expedition?
A. His undisputed reputation. B. His remarkable physical condition.
C. His previous training on Mount Everest. D. His exceptional ability to adapt to the cold.
5. What does the Hillary Step refer to?
A. A mistake Hillary avoided making. B. A steep spur of rock Hillary conquered.
C. An ax Hillary used to scratch snow. D. A sudden fall of a ridge Hillary skipped.
6. What was Hillary’s initial feeling upon reaching the summit of Mount Everest?
A. Overwhelming joy. B. Enormous pride.
C. Complete disbelief. D. A touch of astonishment.
7. What was the impact of Hillary’s achievement on mountaineering?
A. It opens up possibilities for other climbers.
B. It enabled him to give back to his hometown.
C. It left financial benefits for climbers to pursue.
D It led to friendly regulations for mountaineering.

With his fingertips, Jose Pedro Gonzalez examined a small-scale model of Barcelona’s famous Sagrada Familia church in an exhibition that allows a particular group of visitors to discover some of the world’s best- known monuments.
“I am born without the ability to perceive the world with my eyes. This is the first time I have got a general idea of what the monument is like, what the space inside is like,” Gonzalez said with excitement as he explored the wooden copy of the beautiful church created by the famous architect Antoni Gaudi.
The Typhlological Museum in Madrid, Spain, boasts 37 reproductions of globally famous monuments, all listed as world heritage sites. Established in 1992 by ONCE, Spain’s national organization for the blind with 71,000 members, the museum’s name comes from the Greek word “tuphlos,” meaning blind. Crafted from wood, stone, metal, or resin (树脂), these models are accessible to all visitors, providing a hands- on experience of the architecture. According to Mireia Rodriguez, a visually impaired (受损) guide, there is no other museum in the world with such a unique collection.
In 2023, the museum received 16,000 visitors. Besides the architectural models, the museum also showcases artwork by visually impaired artists and displays tools and equipment used in the past to assist blind individuals in accessing culture, including Braille books. After exploring a room filled with models of Spain’s famous landmarks, such as the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Madrid’s Royal Palace, and the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral, Gonzalez praised the exhibition as “really marvelous.” Another room displays international icons like the Taj Mahal, London Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, and the Eiffel Tower.
For people like Gonzalez despite detailed explanations, they can never get a proper image of what exhibits are like without fingertips, which undoubtedly have created a lot of frustration. The fact that there are spaces like this is fantastic.
8. What can be learned about Gonzalez?
A. He loses his sight. B. He works in the museum.
C. He is an architect. D. He visits the church regularly.
9. What does the underlined word “boasts” probably mean in paragraph 3?
A. Sorts. B. Restores.
C. Lacks. D. Houses.
10. What makes the Typhlological Museum unique?
A. It provides models available to touch.
B. It displays the artworks of blind artists.
C. It focuses on historic architectural designs.
D. It receives the most visitors all over the world.
11. What might be a suitable title for the text?
A. Church in Barcelona: Spain’s Architectural Wonder
B. Delicate Models: Reproductions of World Landmarks
C. Museum in Madrid: A Special Experience for the Blind
D. The Typhlological Museum: A Visual Feast for Architects

In 2022, campaign group Fashion Revolution Chelsea dye a garden for its Chelsea Flower Show presentation. An ancient craft, natural dyeing is a practice whose time has come again, with hand tie-dyed fashion also making a comeback in recent years.
The revival has been encouraged by Covid lockdowns, “which allowed people to explore the craft at home, says natural-dyeing enthusiast and teacher Susan Dye. It’s unlikely, though, that the practice would have caught on in quite the same way if not for a continually growing discomfort about fashion’s heavy footprint. From carbon emissions to animal cruelty, fashion is under considerable inspection. “Put it this way, 97% of dyes used in the industry are petrochemically (石油化学产品) based,” says sustainable fashion consultant Jackie Andrews, who helped advise the UN Ethical Fashion Initiative. We’ve got net zero targets which mean we’re going to have to remove all those petrochemicals from the manufacturing cycle.
Fashion is a huge polluter. According to the UN Environment Program, the industry is responsible for up to one-fifth of all industrial water pollution—due to the fact that most clothes today are produced in poorer countries where regulation is weak and enforcement weaker. Waste water is dumped directly into rivers and streams, poisoning the land as well as the water sources of people and animals who rely on them.
It’s easy to see why someone who cares about people, planet and animals, as well as clothes, might turn to natural plant dyeing. From the beauty of the raw materials—often wild plants-to the property of only bonding with natural fiber like cotton and linen (亚麻布) from the minor footprint of recycling old clothing that has grayed or faded over time to the vibrant and long-lasting dyeing results, plant dyeing feels like a quiet act of rebellion. This is why, while beginners start with simply changing their clothes’ color, new worlds open. Many of today’s natural dyers grow their own dye plants, run local community workshops, and advocate for change in industrialized fashion systems and beyond.
12. What is the main reason for the growing discomfort mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. The adoption of petrochemical-based dyes
B. The disturbing consequences of the fashion industry.
C. The fashion industry’s focus on luxurious designs.
D. The challenging net zero targets to be achieved.
13. How does the author illustrate Fashion is a huge polluter?
A. By making a comparison. B. By listing numbers
C. By giving examples. D. By introducing a new topic
14. What does the underlined phrase a quiet act of rebellion in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. A protest against turning to natural fiber.
B. An objection to recycling old clothing
C. A resistance to vibrant colors in natural dyeing
D. A struggle for a sustainable fashion industry
15. What would be the most suitable title for the passage?
A. The Environmental Impact of Natural Dyeing
B. The Return of Natural Dyeing with Ethical Appeal
C. Fashion Revolution’s Dye Garden Presentation
D. The Petrochemical Dye Industry and Its Challenges

Lily was renowned for her desire to achieve perfection in everything she undertook. Whether it was school projects, art assignments, or even helping her parents with household chores, Lily’s commitment to excellence was unwavering.
One sunny summer day, Lily’s family decided to spend a day at the beach. As they arrived, Lily’s eyes were immediately drawn by a group of children who playfully built and then tore down their sandcastles. They giggled and shouted, their excitement on full display. “How silly, ” she thought, not quite getting why they enjoyed doing that.
Lily, being herself, decided to build a perfect sandcastle that would become the envy of all beachgoers. She began to plan every detail in her mind, from the balanced structures of the towers to the delicate decorations. Then, she set about piling sand to make the towers and walls of her sandcastle. Painstakingly, she crafted each feature of her work, carefully smoothed the surfaces and adjusting every detail to her vision.
Jake, Lily’s younger brother, didn’t seem too concerned with building a fantastic sandcastle. He picked a spot nearby and amused himself with the sand. He scooped up handfuls of sand, let it slip through his fingers like grains of time, and then molded it into careless shapes with the carefree abandon of a child. Jake’s happiness was contagious. Mom and Dad joined him, laughing and joking over Jake’s playful creations. From time to time, they called out to Lily and invited her to join the fun, knowing that the pursuit of perfection could be exhausting.
Nevertheless, Lily stayed where she was, determined to create an impressive sandcastle. She frowned at Jake’s unconventional, abstract art-like sandcastle shapes and persisted in her efforts. However, the process didn’t go as smoothly as she had anticipated. The sand didn’t always hold its shape, and the waves constantly lapped at the edges of her creation.
Para 1: As the day wore on, Lily’s sandcastle kept losing its form.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para 2: With bitter smile, Lily decided to join her family.
