A
Many unique caves in the world are found on the shores of oceans and lakes. They are always there to attract visitors across the globe.
Sea Lion Caves
Found on the Oregon Coast, it’s well-known as the only mainland breeding ground (繁殖地) of the Steller sea lion, a near-threatened species. It’s also the longest sea cave in North America, measuring1,315 feet long. Most of the cave is at sea level and is flooded with water at high tide. One section of the cave, sitting 50 feet higher, serves as a platform to view the creatures’ habitat.
Apostle Islands Sea Caves
Wisconsin’s Apostle Islands Sea Caves are sandstone caves on the shores of Lake Superior. The caves are accessible by boat in summer, but seeing the caves during winter has become a popular, if weather-dependent, alternative. When Lake Superior freezes, the ice is sometimes thick enough to allow hikers to walk across the lake and explore the caves.
Great Blue Hole
Located off the coast of Belize, it’s a vertical cave that’s entirely underwater. It measures 984 feet in diameter and 410 feet deep. With its beautiful, clear water and a variety of wild marine life residing in its depths, the Great Blue Hole is most famous as a scuba-diving destination. Although the Great Blue Hole is one of the most spectacular, it’s not the world’s only blue hole.
Painted Cave
The Painted Cave located on California’s Santa Cruz Island, is an expansive sea cave known for the colorful rocks, lichen and algae found on its walls. After the Sea Lion Caves, it’s the second-longest sea cave in North America, at 1,227 feet long. The cave is a popular kayaking (划艇) destination since the cave’s bottom is underwater for its entire length.
1. What may contribute most to Sea Lion Caves’ fame?
A. Being the breeding place for a rare species.
B. Being the longest sea caves across the world.
C. Its seasonal high tides at such a low sea level.
D. Its distinct platform for watching sea creatures.
2. What time might be appealing to visit Apostle Islands Sea Caves?
A. In spring time. B. During winter time.
C. In summer time. D. In the fall.
3. What do Great Blue Hole and Painted Cave have in common?
A. They can produce pleasing sound. B. They inspired many famous artists.
C. They could be a potential danger. D. They both enjoy water-based sports.

They got ready for parties and shared countless laughs as freshmen in the dormitories of the University of Maryland. They bonded over being black women at a university where, in 1971, only 4% of the students were black. Friends called the tight-knit group of women Sugar Hill, and the name sustained.
But that wasn’t the end of the friend group. For the past 50 years, the women have met at least once a year for dinners, sleepovers and vacations. The 16 women of the Sugar Hill Sisterhood, as they now call themselves, have leaned on one another through decades of milestones: weddings and graduations, baby showers and funerals. “There’s no challenge too big for the sisterhood,” says Everene Turner, a member of the team, “I could call in the troops in a minute.”
While many people have friendships that span decades, the women of Sugar Hill are something of a case study in what it takes to maintain them. Although the bond among them was forged during college, they’ve worked hard to stay connected and nurture their relationships. A group chat helps them stay in touch daily, as do phone calls, video chats and remote group activities like a 90-day fitness challenge. They are committed to their annual reunions and have maintained unwavering support for one another.
In the late 1970s, one of the group members, Dawkins whose boyfriend died in a car accident, was mourning the loss when another Sugar Hill sister persuaded Dawkins to live with her. They stayed roommates for the next few years. Dawkins says, “Time and friends are two things that become more valuable the older you get.”
Their group name has become part of their identity and now extends to family members. The friends support one another’s children and grandchildren, and the children of the sisterhood also spend time together. “It’s a great feeling knowing that we’ve passed the Sugar Hill legacy to our offspring and they are passing it down to their offspring,” Jonetta says. And before Dawkins got married in 1985, Jonetta’s husband joked to her fiance that his commitment would extend beyond Dawkins, “Just make sure you want to do this — you’re marrying her, but you’re marrying 15 other sisters as well.”
4. What do we know about the women of the Sugar Hill?
A. They were enthusiasts of parties.
B. They graduated from university in 1971.
C. They came from different racial backgrounds.
D. They developed a tight-knit relationship at university.
5. What can be inferred from Everene Turner’s words in paragraph 2?
A. She has a pack of soldiers to back her up.
B. They have never encountered big problems.
C. They can unite as a whole whenever they are needed.
D. She can help make emergency calls when help is needed.
6. According to the text, how do the women probably think of maintaining a distance relationship?
A. It presents challenges but is rewarding.
B. It takes equal investment among them.
C. In-person interaction is unnecessary with telecommunication.
D. Physical distance increases their appreciation for the time spent together.
7. What is the writing purpose of the text?
A. To demonstrate women’s power. B. To illustrate the significance of friendship.
C. To share a sisterhood that lasts a life time. D. To entertain readers with an unusual anecdote.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. C
【解析】

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“They got ready for parties and shared countless laughs as freshmen in the dormitories of the University of Maryland. They bonded over being black women at a university where, in 1971, only 4% of the students was black. Friends called the tight-knit group of women Sugar Hill, and the name sustained. (她们在马里兰大学的新生宿舍里为派对做准备,分享了无数欢笑。1971年,在一所黑人学生只占4%的大学里,她们作为黑人女性团结在一起。朋友们称这个团结的女性团体为Sugar Hill,这个名字一直沿用至今)”可知,这个团体里的女性在大学时期建立了紧密关系。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中Everene Turner所说的话“There’s no challenge too big for the sisterhood (对姐妹们来说,没有什么挑战是不可能的)”和“I could call in the troops in a minute. (我可以马上叫队伍来)”可知,她认为她们能一起战胜任何挑战,而且如果有困难,可以立即为对方提供支持。由此可知,她们在需要时能够作为一个整体团结起来。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Although the bond among them was forged during college, they’ve worked hard to stay connected and nurture their relationships. A group chat helps them stay in touch daily, as do phone calls, video chats and remote group activities like a 90-day fitness challenge. They are committed to their annual reunions and have maintained unwavering support for one another. (虽然她们之间的纽带是在大学期间形成的,但她们一直努力保持联系并培养她们的关系。群聊可以帮助她们每天保持联系,电话、视频聊天和90天健身挑战一类的远程小组活动也可以。她们每年都会举行聚会,并坚定不移地相互支持)”和第四段中“Time and friends are two things that become more valuable the older you get. (随着年龄的增长,时间和朋友这两样东西变得越来越珍贵)”可知,她们一直为保持联系付出各种努力,而这份友谊随岁月流逝而越发弥足珍贵。因此,对她们而言,尽管维持远距离关系有挑战,但这是值得的。故选A项。
7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“Friends called the tight-knit group of women Sugar Hill, and the name sustained. (朋友们称这个团结的女性团体为Sugar Hill,这个名字一直沿用至今)”和最后一段中“Their group name has become part of their identity and now extends to family members. (她们的团体名称已经成为她们身份的一部分,现在延伸到家庭成员)”可知,文章讲述了Sugar Hill Sisterhood从大学时期到50年后的深厚友谊,强调了她们如何克服挑战并维持关系。因此,文章的目的应该是分享这段持续一生的姐妹情谊。故选C项。
C
From its source in Burgundy, the Seine flows 483 miles to reach the sea, with the capital sitting nearly in the middle. The River’s Parisian map has changed over time, its course changed by floods. The city’s Latin motto, “Fluctuat nec mergitur — swayed by the waves but does not sink,” recalls these historical floods, and Paris’s struggle in dealing with them.
Bathed in myth and memory, the Seine is the lifeblood of the city that started on its banks. Along this “main street”, as Napoleon called it, Parisian landmarks are on proud display, looking magnificent and great. It’s so central to the city’s existence that building numbers are linked to the river: Those on vertical (垂直的) streets begin their numbering closest to the Seine, while on parallel streets building numbers rise in the direction of the waterflow.
“For Parisians, there is a strong historical and visceral (发自肺腑的) attachment to the river,” says Pierre Rabadan, the deputy mayor of Paris. For centuries, life was lived on the river. The Seine’s banks were a gathering place for work and leisure: Laundresses washed clothes, dockers unloaded cargo, merchants hawked their goods, and people sunbathed and swam.
But a different approach to urban planning in the 20th century began to separate the populace (民众) from the river. In the 1960s, highways were constructed directly on the water’s edge. The ports even changed into parking lots.
The tide turned in 2013 when the city government decided to pedestrianize the motorway on the Left Bank. Cyclists and walkers returned to the ports, enjoying new installations such as climbing walls and floating gardens. A riverside park on the Right Bank’s motorway followed in 2016.
“We are now trying to reconnect and recover the Seine, what’s historically been a water ecological passageway in a city that’s extremely crowded.” says Rabadan. “We want to bring life back to the Seine.”
8. What does the Seine mean to Paris according to passage?
A. The life-giving force. B. The largest landmark.
C. The source of industry. D. The street in memory.
9. How are the building numbers set in streets parallel to the Seine?
A. The numbers rise around the “main street”.
B. The numbers increase in the direction of flow.
C. The farther south, the bigger the numbers.
D. The further away the Seine, the smaller the numbers.
10. What did the government do with the River Seine in the 20th century?
A. Reducing Parisians’ attachment to the river.
B. Forbidding locals to work and relax on the banks.
C. Establishing public transport facilities along the river.
D. Pedestrianizing the motorway on the banks of the river.
11. What does Rabadan think of the ideal River Seine?
A. A place where people can do sports.
B. A place with many modern facilities.
C. A place without water transportation.
D. A place people live in harmony with nature.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了塞纳河对巴黎的重要意义以及巴黎市政府对塞纳河的改造计划。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Bathed in myth and memory, the Seine is the lifeblood of the city that started on its banks. (塞纳河沐浴在神话和记忆中,是这座起源于其河岸的城市的生命线)”可知,塞纳河是巴黎的生命线,是赋予其生命的力量。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Those on vertical (垂直的) streets begin their numbering closest to the Seine, while on parallel streets building numbers rise in the direction of the waterflow. (垂直街道上的建筑编号从离塞纳河最近的地方开始,而平行街道上的建筑编号则随着水流方向增加)”可知,与塞纳河平行的街道上的建筑编号是随着水流方向增加的。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“But a different approach to urban planning in the 20th century began to separate the populace (民众) from the river. In the 1960s, highways were constructed directly on the water’s edge. (但20世纪的城市规划方法不同,开始将民众与河流分开。在20世纪60年代,高速公路直接建在水边)”可知,在20世纪,政府在塞纳河沿岸建立了公共交通设施,如高速公路。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Rabadan的话“We are now trying to reconnect and recover the Seine, what’s historically been a water ecological passageway in a city that’s extremely crowded. (我们现在正试图重新连接和恢复塞纳河,在历史上,它是一个在极度拥挤的城市中的水生态通道)”和“We want to bring life back to the Seine. (我们想让塞纳河重新焕发生机)”可推知,Rabadan希望塞纳河能恢复成以往那种有着生态通道的状态,也就是人们能与自然和谐相处的地方。故选D项。
D
Imagine you are driving on a stormy night, and your car suddenly alerts you to the danger of an imminent flood or an approaching hurricane. This future, where cars predict weather disasters well in advance, is edging toward reality, says the International Drivers Association. By 2030, cars are expected to evolve into “smart machines” in which reliable, personal weather forecasting units are installed, with advanced sensor technology and machine learning algorithms (算术) delivering real-time, exact weather updates.
“Bridging the gap between vehicular technology and meteorology holds massive potential in increasing road safety,” says Julianna Marshall, a travel expert from the International Drivers Association. “Imagine your car alerting you to trouble ahead and then directing you away from a road that’s about to be flooded or a bridge at risk of collapsing due to strong winds. That’s a revolution we’re keenly looking forward to.”
Several key factors lay the foundations for these weather-predicting capabilities in cars by the year 2030.
Modern cars have complex sensors that can measure atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, and wind speed. These sensors can feed data into an onboard computer, providing crucial real-time weather information. Cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies can now analyse complex weather patterns and predict future outcomes. By integrating these technologies into automotive systems, your car’s computer can provide forecasts along your routes.
The interconnectivity of devices, known as the Internet of Things, will play a key role. Cars could share and receive weather data from a vast network of the connected devices, improving accuracy of predictions. Such tech-integrated cars will make driving during severe conditions safer while enhancing the overall travel experience. “Weather prediction in cars can save hundreds of lives annually by minimizing the likelihood of weather-related accidents,” Marshall emphasizes. “Getting hands on a car built with weather prediction technology might be optional today but will become imperative by 2030.”
Undeniably, 2030 promises the advent of a transformative era in automobile technology, a world where your car might just be your best weather forecaster. An era where “the future is now” is not just an exciting prospect — it’s the norm.
12. What can the future cars probably do?
A. Stop extreme weather happening. B. Change the path of the hurricane.
C. Teach drivers how to predict weather. D. Perceive terrible weather conditions.
13. What does paragraph 4 focus on?
A. Operational principle of future cars. B. The concept of the Internet of Things.
C. The functions of complex sensors. D. Increasing complexity of road safety.
14. What does the underlined word “imperative” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Reliable. B. Essential. C. Complex. D. Unrealistic.
15. What is the author’s intention in the last paragraph?
A. To make predictions. B. To offer suggestions.
C. To fulfill promises. D. To express regrets.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. A
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Imagine you are driving on a stormy night, and your car suddenly alerts you to the danger of an imminent flood or an approaching hurricane. This future, where cars predict weather disasters well in advance, is edging toward reality, says the International Drivers Association.(想象一下,你在一个暴风雨的夜晚开车,你的车突然提醒你洪水即将来临或飓风即将来临的危险。国际司机协会表示,汽车可以提前很好地预测天气灾害,这种未来正逐渐成为现实)”可知,未来的汽车可以感知恶劣的天气状况。故选D。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Modern cars have complex sensors that can measure atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, and wind speed. These sensors can feed data into an onboard computer, providing crucial real-time weather information. Cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies can now analyse complex weather patterns and predict future outcomes. By integrating these technologies into automotive systems, your car’s computer can provide forecasts along your routes.(现代汽车有复杂的传感器,可以测量大气压力、温度、湿度和风速。这些传感器可以将数据输入机载计算机,提供关键的实时天气信息。尖端的人工智能和机器学习技术现在可以分析复杂的天气模式并预测未来的结果。通过将这些技术集成到汽车系统中,你的汽车计算机可以提供沿途的预测)”可知,第4段的重点是未来汽车的工作原理。故选A。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Weather prediction in cars can save hundreds of lives annually by minimizing the likelihood of weather-related accidents(汽车天气预报可以将天气相关事故的可能性降到最低,每年可以挽救数百人的生命)”和下文“An era where “the future is now” is not just an exciting prospect — it’s the norm.(在一个“未来就是现在”的时代,这不仅是一个令人兴奋的前景,而且是一种常态)”以及“Getting hands on a car built with weather prediction technology might be optional today but will become(今天,拥有一辆搭载天气预报技术的汽车可能是可选的,但到2030年)”可知,汽车天气预报每年可以挽救数百人的生命,结合but表示转折,如今是可选的,但推测到了2030年将是必不可少的。故划线词意思是“必不可少的”。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Undeniably, 2030 promises the advent of a transformative era in automobile technology, a world where your car might just be your best weather forecaster. An era where “the future is now” is not just an exciting prospect — it’s the norm.(不可否认,2030年预示着汽车技术变革时代的到来,在这个世界里,你的汽车可能就是你最好的天气预报员。在一个“未来就是现在”的时代,这不仅是一个令人兴奋的前景,而且是一种常态)”可知,作者在最后一段的意图是做预测。故选A。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Once a niche (小众的) sport, rock climbing has become a mainstream pleasure enjoyed by many. ____16____ However, with rock climbing’s rise in popularity, the amazing biodiversity sustained by cliff ecosystems is under pressure. To relieve this problem, there are numerous helpful acts you can do.
The presence of climbers at the cliff where binds are nesting can cause them to abandon their chicks to starvation. You should check if there are any bird nesting restrictions in the areas where you plan to climb. ____17____ And some organizations have an online database you can check.
Sometimes climbers also remove plants and soil when establishing a route that has not been climbed before so that it becomes more suitable for climbing. ____18____ Work with other route developers and conservationists to understand the potential impact of route development on the plants.
____19____ In the early days, climbers often collected data about the species and geography they encountered as part of an adventure. It is now much easier to contribute to science as a climber. Much of this comes down to the fact that each of us carries a tiny computer that can smoothly capture images, location, and sound and associate them with a timestamp-our smartphones!
Actually, in many places, climber representative bodies are taking great steps to ensure climbing is managed sustainably. This involves cooperating with the authorities of natural parks, and conservation organizations so that agreements can be reached that minimize the impact of climbing on the environment while keeping regulations to a minimum. These organizations often have limited funds with which to achieve these goals and tend to rely on the support of volunteers. ____20____
A. You can help by becoming a citizen scientist.
B. This information is usually available in climbing guidebooks.
C. This can wipe out the cliff ecosystem that was there previously.
D. Why not get in touch with one that inspires you and ask what you can do?
E. Keeping existing routes in good condition avoids the damage to vegetation.
F. These data can then be accessed by scientists to avoid environmental issues on cliffs.
G. The natural world offers an exciting adventure through beautiful environments filled with wildlife.
【答案】16. G 17. B 18. C 19. A 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在攀岩运动中应如何保护动植物。
【16题详解】
根据前文“rock climbing has become a mainstream pleasure enjoyed by many.( 攀岩已经成为许多人喜欢的主流娱乐活动。)”以及后文的“However, with rock climbing’s rise in popularity, the amazing biodiversity sustained by cliff ecosystems is under pressure. (然而,随着攀岩运动的兴起,悬崖生态系统所维持的惊人的生物多样性正面临压力。)”可知,空白处前后应该是转折关系,前文强调攀岩已经成为了主流娱乐活动,空白处后提到攀岩过程中会对岩壁的生态系统造成不良影响,而G 项“The natural world offers an exciting adventure through beautiful environments filled with wildlife.(通过充满野生动物的美丽环境,自然世界提供了令人兴奋的冒险。)”中的an exciting adventure与空白处前的a mainstream pleasure enjoyed by many 相呼应,且与下文提到的不良影响形成对比,符合语境。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据前文“ You should check if there are any bird nesting restrictions in the areas where you plan to climb.(你应该检查一下在你计划攀登的地方是否有鸟类筑巢的限制。)”以及后文“And some organizations have an online database you can check.(一些组织有一个你可以查询的在线数据库。)”可知,你应该检查一下你计划攀登的地方是否有鸟类筑巢的限制,而一些组织有一个你可以查询的在线数据库。所以空白处讲的也是在哪里查询该区域是否有鸟类筑巢限制,故B项“This information is usually available in climbing guidebooks.(此类信息通常可以在攀岩指南中找到)”,符合语境。故选B。
【18题详解】
根据前文“Sometimes climbers also remove plants and soil when establishing a route that has not been climbed before so that it becomes more suitable for climbing.( 有时攀登者在建立以前没有攀登过的路线时也会清除植物和土壤,使其更适合攀登。)”可知,此处提到攀岩者在开辟适宜攀岩的路线时,通常会除去路上的植物和土壤;后文提到“Work with other route developers and conservationists to understand the potential impact of route development on the plants.( 与其他路线开发商和环保人士合作,了解路线开发对植物的潜在影响。)”,讲述需要了解线路开发对植被的潜在影响。故空白处应承上启下,提及为开辟新路可能对岩壁的生态系统产生的影响。因此,C项“This can wipe out the cliff ecosystem that was there previously.(这可能会摧毁之前存在的悬崖生态系统)”,符合语境。故选C。
【19题详解】
根据后文“Much of this comes down to the fact that each of us carries a tiny computer that can smoothly capture images, location, and sound and associate them with a timestamp - our smartphones! (这在很大程度上归结于我们每个人都携带着一台微型电脑,它可以流畅地捕捉图像、位置和声音,并将它们与时间戳相关联——我们的智能手机!)”可知,本段主要谈论由于智能手机的普及,我们为科学做贡献变得更为便利。A项“You can help by becoming a citizen scientist.(你可以通过成为一名公民科学家来提供帮助。)”概括本段主要内容,指出你可以通过智能手机或者当代科技的帮助来成为一名平民科学家收集物种或者地理的相关数据。故选A。
【20题详解】
根据前文前提到“These organizations often have limited funds with which to achieve these goals and tend to rely on the support of volunteers. (这些组织实现这些目标的资金往往有限,往往依赖于志愿者的支持。)”可知,通过与自然保护组织合作,减少攀岩活动对环境的影响。但这些组织往往资金有限,依赖志愿者的支持。D项“Why not get in touch with one that inspires you and ask what you can do?(为何不联系一个能够激励你的组织,问问你能做些什么?)”符合语境,D项中的one 指代前文的conservation organization,并鼓励读者为什么不联系一个激励自己的组织,成为其中的志愿者,为在攀岩运动中保护动植物提供帮助,该选项符合语境。故选D。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)
第一节(共15小题:每小题1分,满分15分)

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。在中国西南部的四川省及其周边地区,人们经常可以在街头和公园里发现民间艺术家用液态糖制作糖画。文章对这种传统艺术形式进行了介绍。
【36题详解】
考查一般现在时和主谓一致。句意:根据一些学术研究,糖画可以追溯到明朝,当时在宗教仪式中,作为祭品的一部分,糖画动物和人物用模具制作。此处描述客观事实,所以应用一般现在时。主语sugar painting为第三人称单数。故填dates。
【37题详解】
考查一般过去时的被动语态。句意:生产技术得到了升级,图案变得更加多样,其中大多数代表着好运,如鱼、龙和猴。根据“the patterns became more various”可知,此处应用一般过去时。动词upgrade意为“升级”,和主语构成被动关系。主语techniques为复数形式。故填were upgraded。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:生产技术得到了升级,图案变得更加多样,其中大多数代表着好运,如鱼、龙和猴。在非限制性定语从句中缺少介词of的宾语,且先行词为patterns,所以应用关系代词which。故填which。
【39题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:后来,四川的民间艺术家通过增加中国皮影和中国剪纸的技术发展了这门艺术,用小青铜勺代替了模具。动词replace意为“代替”,和谓语之间没有连词,和逻辑主语moulds构成被动关系,且动作已完成,所以应用过去分词形式。故填replaced。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:随着时间的推移,当代糖画形式逐渐演变。pass by意为“(时间)推移”,为固定搭配,所以此处应用介词by表示“经过”。故填by。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:尽管糖画师的数量显著减少,但由于其独特的魅力,一定数量的艺术家正在努力通过举办课程、举办糖画比赛等相关活动并申请加入国家非物质文化遗产名录来保护糖画。修饰动词decreased应用副词remarkably表示“显著地”作状语,故填remarkably。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:尽管糖画师的数量显著减少,但由于其独特的魅力,一定数量的艺术家正在努力通过举办课程、举办糖画比赛等相关活动并申请加入国家非物质文化遗产名录来保护糖画。根据系动词are可知,此处是指一定数量的艺术家,a number of意为“大量的”,为固定搭配,所以此处应用冠词a。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:尽管糖画师的数量显著减少,但由于其独特的魅力,一定数量的艺术家正在努力通过举办课程、举办糖画比赛等相关活动并申请加入国家非物质文化遗产名录来保护糖画。做出努力的目的是保护糖画,所以应用to do不定式作目的状语。故填to preserve。
【44题详解】
考查可数名词复数。句意:尽管糖画师的数量显著减少,但由于其独特的魅力,一定数量的艺术家正在努力通过举办课程、举办糖画比赛等相关活动并申请加入国家非物质文化遗产名录来保护糖画。根据“such as sugar painting contests”可知,此处是指很多活动,activity意为“活动”,为可数名词,所以应用复数形式。故填activities。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意:此外,糖画艺术家获得了越来越多的认可。此处应用名词recognition表示“认可”作宾语。故填recognition。

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。
When my husband passed away last year, my world turned upside down. Richard and I had been together for over forty years, and suddenly, there was an unbearable blank where he used to be. So, when my son, James, and his wife, Natalie, invited me to live with them for a while, I wasn’t about to refuse. I think being with the grandkids will be healing.
They welcomed me with open arms, making me feel like part of their daily life. They insisted that they wanted to help me through this difficult time and when I moved in, I only took the essentials. The rest of my things were locked 30 minutes away at my home, locking away the memories of a life shared with Richard.
From the beginning, there was simply one rule for the kids and myself: “Please, all three of you, stay out of the basement (地下室) ,” James had said when we were sitting for dinner, his tone was gentle but firm. “There are some repairs being done, and it’s really dusty and messy down there. We don’t want any of you to get sick or hurt. Understood?”
The boys, John, 6, and Eric, 4, nodded. I understood James’ concern, too. I agreed without giving it much thought. It wasn’t like I had any reason to go down there anyway.
Living with them was an adjustment. John and Eric were everything I needed to keep me distracted while my heart healed and grew with love for my grandchildren. We had also gotten into a new routine, where every evening, we’d gather in the living room for story time. Nothing delighted me more than watching their eyes light up as I read to them.
We’d been reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for a few days now, and it had quickly become a favorite for them. One evening, I turned to the next chapter, and as I read about Harry discovering the hidden entrance to the chamber, Eric suddenly piped up, “Grandma! We have a Chamber of Secrets too! In the basement!”
注意:
1.续写词数应150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I paused, glancing down at him unbelievably.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The room was a perfect copy of my own bedroom back home.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I paused, glancing down at him unbelievably. Eric said he would show it to me. Before I could stop him, he jumped off the couch and grabbed my hand, tugging me toward the basement door. I called that we were not supposed to be going down there. “There it is!” Eric exclaimed, pointing toward a door hidden behind a large sheet of plastic. I was curious and reached for the door handle. The door swung open with a soft creak, revealing a room that took my breath away.
The room was a perfect copy of my own bedroom back home. The familiar wallpaper and the same pattern of the bed were identical. But what truly made my heart sing was the photograph: Richard and I on our wedding day, smiling and young, full of life. I stepped backward, tears streaming down my face as a thousand memories flooded back. James and Natalie rushed down the stairs, followed by John. James explained softly that they wanted to surprise me and didn’t want me to go back to my old house. They wanted me to have a space here that felt like home. I hugged them and said in tears that I wanted them, too.
【解析】

Many unique caves in the world are found on the shores of oceans and lakes. They are always there to attract visitors across the globe.
Sea Lion Caves
Found on the Oregon Coast it’s well-known as the only mainland breeding ground (繁殖地) of the Steller sea lion, a near-threatened species. It’s also the longest sea cave in North America, measuring1,315 feet long. Most of the cave is at sea level and is flooded with water at high tide. One section of the cave, sitting 50 feet higher, serves as a platform to view the creatures’ habitat.
Apostle Islands Sea Caves
Wisconsin’s Apostle Islands Sea Caves are sandstone caves on the shores of Lake Superior. The caves are accessible by boat in summer, but seeing the caves during winter has become a popular, if weather-dependent, alternative. When Lake Superior freezes, the ice is sometimes thick enough to allow hikers to walk across the lake and explore the caves.
Great Blue Hole
Located off the coast of Belize, it’s a vertical cave that’s entirely underwater. It measures 984 feet in diameter and 410 feet deep. With its beautiful, clear water and a variety of wild marine life residing in its depths, the Great Blue Hole is most famous as a scuba-diving destination. Although the Great Blue Hole is one of the most spectacular, it’s not the world’s only blue hole.
Painted Cave
The Painted Cave, located on California’s Santa Cruz Island, is an expansive sea cave known for the colorful rocks, lichen and algae found on its walls. After the Sea Lion Caves, it’s the second-longest sea cave in North America, at 1,227 feet long. The cave is a popular kayaking (划艇) destination since the cave’s bottom is underwater for its entire length.
1. What may contribute most to Sea Lion Caves’ fame?
A. Being the breeding place for a rare species.
B. Being the longest sea caves across the world.
C. Its seasonal high tides at such a low sea level.
D. Its distinct platform for watching sea creatures.

B
They got ready for parties and shared countless laughs as freshmen in the dormitories of the University of Maryland. They bonded over being black women at a university where, in 1971, only 4% of the students were black. Friends called the tight-knit group of women Sugar Hill, and the name sustained.
But that wasn’t the end of the friend group. For the past 50 years, the women have met at least once a year for dinners, sleepovers and vacations. The 16 women of the Sugar Hill Sisterhood, as they now call themselves, have leaned on one another through decades of milestones: weddings and graduations, baby showers and funerals. “There’s no challenge too big for the sisterhood,” says Everene Turner, a member of the team, “I could call in the troops in a minute.”
While many people have friendships that span decades, the women of Sugar Hill are something of a case study in what it takes to maintain them. Although the bond among them was forged during college, they’ve worked hard to stay connected and nurture their relationships. A group chat helps them stay in touch daily, as do phone calls, video chats and remote group activities like a 90-day fitness challenge. They are committed to their annual reunions and have maintained unwavering support for one another.
In the late 1970s, one of the group members, Dawkins whose boyfriend died in a car accident, was mourning the loss when another Sugar Hill sister persuaded Dawkins to live with her. They stayed roommates for the next few years. Dawkins says, “Time and friends are two things that become more valuable the older you get.”
Their group name has become part of their identity and now extends to family members. The friends support one another’s children and grandchildren and the children of the sisterhood also spend time together. “It’s a great feeling knowing that we’ve passed the Sugar Hill legacy to our offspring and they are passing it down to their offspring,” Jonetta says. And before Dawkins got married in 1985, Jonetta’s husband joked to her fiance that his commitment would extend beyond Dawkins, “Just make sure you want to do this — you’re marrying her, but you’re marrying 15 other sisters as well.”
4. What do we know about the women of the Sugar Hill?
A. They were enthusiasts of parties.
B. They graduated from university in 1971.
C. They came from different racial backgrounds.
D. They developed a tight-knit relationship at university.
5. What can be inferred from Everene Turner’s words in paragraph 2?
A. She has a pack of soldiers to back her up.
B. They have never encountered big problems.
C. They can unite as a whole whenever they are needed.
D. She can help make emergency calls when help is needed.
6. According to the text, how do the women probably think of maintaining a distance relationship?
A. It presents challenges but is rewarding.
B. It takes equal investment among them.

From its source in Burgundy, the Seine flows 483 miles to reach the sea, with the capital sitting nearly in the middle. The River’s Parisian map has changed over time, its course changed by floods. The city’s Latin motto, “Fluctuat nec mergitur — swayed by the waves but does not sink,” recalls these historical floods, and Paris’s struggle in dealing with them.
Bathed in myth and memory, the Seine is the lifeblood of the city that started on its banks. Along this “main street”, as Napoleon called it, Parisian landmarks are on proud display, looking magnificent and great. It’s so central to the city’s existence that building numbers are linked to the river: Those on vertical (垂直的) streets begin their numbering closest to the Seine, while on parallel streets building numbers rise in the direction of the waterflow.
“For Parisians, there is a strong historical and visceral (发自肺腑的) attachment to the river,” says Pierre Rabadan, the deputy mayor of Paris. For centuries, life was lived on the river. The Seine’s banks were a gathering place for work and leisure: Laundresses washed clothes, dockers unloaded cargo, merchants hawked their goods, and people sunbathed and swam.
But a different approach to urban planning in the 20th century began to separate the populace (民众) from the river. In the 1960s, highways were constructed directly on the water’s edge. The ports even changed into parking lots.
The tide turned in 2013 when the city government decided to pedestrianize the motorway on the Left Bank. Cyclists and walkers returned to the ports, enjoying new installations such as climbing walls and floating gardens. A riverside park on the Right Bank’s motorway followed in 2016.
“We are now trying to reconnect and recover the Seine, what’s historically been a water ecological passageway in a city that’s extremely crowded.” says Rabadan. “We want to bring life back to the Seine.”
8. What does the Seine mean to Paris according to passage?
A. The life-giving force. B. The largest landmark.
C. The source of industry. D. The street in memory.
9. How are the building numbers set in streets parallel to the Seine?
A. The numbers rise around the “main street”.
B. The numbers increase in the direction of flow.
C. The farther south, the bigger the numbers.
D. The further away the Seine, the smaller the numbers.
10. What did the government do with the River Seine in the 20th century?
A. Reducing Parisians’ attachment to the river.
B. Forbidding locals to work and relax on the banks.
C. Establishing public transport facilities along the river.
D. Pedestrianizing the motorway on the banks of the river.
11. What does Rabadan think of the ideal River Seine?
A. A place where people can do sports.
B. A place with many modern facilities.
C. A place without water transportation.
D. A place people live in harmony with nature.
D
Imagine you are driving on a stormy night, and your car suddenly alerts you to the danger of an imminent flood or an approaching hurricane. This future, where cars predict weather disasters well in advance, is edging toward reality, says the International Drivers Association. By 2030, cars are expected to evolve into “smart machines” in which reliable, personal weather forecasting units are installed, with advanced sensor technology and machine learning algorithms (算术) delivering real-time, exact weather updates.
“Bridging the gap between vehicular technology and meteorology holds massive potential in increasing road safety,” says Julianna Marshall, a travel expert from the International Drivers Association. “Imagine your car alerting you to trouble ahead and then directing you away from a road that’s about to be flooded or a bridge at risk of collapsing due to strong winds. That’s a revolution we’re keenly looking forward to.”
Several key factors lay the foundations for these weather-predicting capabilities in cars by the year 2030.
Modern cars have complex sensors that can measure atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, and wind speed. These sensors can feed data into an onboard computer, providing crucial real-time weather information. Cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies can now analyse complex weather patterns and predict future outcomes. By integrating these technologies into automotive systems, your car’s computer can provide forecasts along your routes.
The interconnectivity of devices, known as the Internet of Things, will play a key role. Cars could share and receive weather data from a vast network of the connected devices, improving accuracy of predictions. Such tech-integrated cars will make driving during severe conditions safer while enhancing the overall travel experience. “Weather prediction in cars can save hundreds of lives annually by minimizing the likelihood of weather-related accidents,” Marshall emphasizes. “Getting hands on a car built with weather prediction technology might be optional today but will become imperative by 2030.”
Undeniably, 2030 promises the advent of a transformative era in automobile technology, a world where your car might just be your best weather forecaster. An era where “the future is now” is not just an exciting prospect — it’s the norm.
12. What can the future cars probably do?
A Stop extreme weather happening. B. Change the path of the hurricane.
C. Teach drivers how to predict weather. D. Perceive terrible weather conditions.
13. What does paragraph 4 focus on?
A. Operational principle of future cars. B. The concept of the Internet of Things.
C. The functions of complex sensors. D. Increasing complexity of road safety.
14. What does the underlined word “imperative” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Reliable. B. Essential. C. Complex. D. Unrealistic.
15. What is the author’s intention in the last paragraph?
A. To make predictions. B. To offer suggestions.
C. To fulfill promises. D. To express regrets.

Once a niche (小众的) sport, rock climbing has become a mainstream pleasure enjoyed by many. ____16____ However, with rock climbing’s rise in popularity, the amazing biodiversity sustained by cliff ecosystems is under pressure. To relieve this problem, there are numerous helpful acts you can do.
The presence of climbers at the cliff where binds are nesting can cause them to abandon their chicks to starvation. You should check if there are any bird nesting restrictions in the areas where you plan to climb. ____17____ And some organizations have an online database you can check.
Sometimes climbers also remove plants and soil when establishing a route that has not been climbed before so that it becomes more suitable for climbing. ____18____ Work with other route developers and conservationists to understand the potential impact of route development on the plants.
____19____ In the early days, climbers often collected data about the species and geography they encountered as part of an adventure. It is now much easier to contribute to science as a climber. Much of this comes down to the fact that each of us carries a tiny computer that can smoothly capture images, location, and sound and associate them with a timestamp-our smartphones!
Actually, in many places, climber representative bodies are taking great steps to ensure climbing is managed sustainably. This involves cooperating with the authorities of natural parks, and conservation organizations so that agreements can be reached that minimize the impact of climbing on the environment while keeping regulations to a minimum. These organizations often have limited funds with which to achieve these goals and tend to rely on the support of volunteers. ____20____
A. You can help by becoming a citizen scientist.
B. This information is usually available in climbing guidebooks.
C. This can wipe out the cliff ecosystem that was there previously.
D. Why not get in touch with one that inspires you and ask what you can do?
E. Keeping existing routes in good condition avoids the damage to vegetation.
F. These data can then be accessed by scientists to avoid environmental issues on cliffs.
G. The natural world offers an exciting adventure through beautiful environments filled with wildlife.

When my husband passed away last year, my world turned upside down. Richard and I had been together for over forty years, and suddenly, there was an unbearable blank where he used to be. So, when my son, James, and his wife, Natalie, invited me to live with them for a while, I wasn’t about to refuse. I think being with the grandkids will be healing.
They welcomed me with open arms, making me feel like part of their daily life. They insisted that they wanted to help me through this difficult time and when I moved in, I only took the essentials. The rest of my things were locked 30 minutes away at my home, locking away the memories of a life shared with Richard.
From the beginning, there was simply one rule for the kids and myself: “Please, all three of you, stay out of the basement (地下室) ,” James had said when we were sitting for dinner, his tone was gentle but firm. “There are some repairs being done, and it’s really dusty and messy down there. We don’t want any of you to get sick or hurt. Understood?”
The boys, John, 6, and Eric, 4, nodded. I understood James’ concern, too. I agreed without giving it much thought. It wasn’t like I had any reason to go down there anyway.
Living with them was an adjustment. John and Eric were everything I needed to keep me distracted while my heart healed and grew with love for my grandchildren. We had also gotten into a new routine, where every evening, we’d gather in the living room for story time. Nothing delighted me more than watching their eyes light up as I read to them.
We’d been reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for a few days now, and it had quickly become a favorite for them. One evening, I turned to the next chapter, and as I read about Harry discovering the hidden entrance to the chamber, Eric suddenly piped up, “Grandma! We have a Chamber of Secrets too! In the basement!”

1续写词数应150左右;
