第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5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
Chongqing has excellent transportation and is known as a 3D city. The Chongqing rail transit connects the streets and alleys of Chongqing. If you want to understand the fireworks atmosphere of Chongqing, follow us into several representative subway stations.
Hong Yan Cun Station
As the world’s second deepest subway station, located 116 meters underground, equivalent to a 40 story skyscraper, this depth brings many design and construction challenges. The station adopts a single arch double-layer structure design, which not only meets the rationality of structural mechanics, but also adapts to the unique mountainous terrain of Chongqing.
Xiao Long Kan Station
This is the first subway graffiti art station in China with the theme of “forest graffiti”. The station is composed of twelve dark green graffiti columns in the station hall, graffiti lawn terraces painted on the staircase facade, dark green tree crowns, and navy blue ceilings, forming a “forest”. Citizens feel as if they are immersed in nature.
Chong Guang Station
The dazzling design of the entrance and exit 1 of the station is named “Ring of Light - Gate of All Things”. The design concept of “Wishful Tree” is adopted in the passage, combining neon light rings with indoor plants, allowing citizens to pass through it as if entering a fantasy forest. The construction of the entrance and exit of the “Ring of Light” has effectively achieved “zero distance” transfer and “seamless” connection between rail transit and commercial areas.
Lie Shi Mu Station
The station is filled with abstract graffiti, with bluestone roads, pine trees and plum blossoms, bird songs and laughter... hiding common imprints in the memories of Chongqing people. Soft light falls on the Chongqing style graffiti, and the scenery in the painting seems to be shrouded in a thin mist. The graffiti area at the Martyrs’ Tomb Station is 5000 square meters, which is about 1.5 times that of Xiaolongkan Station, and the indoor graffiti area is currently the largest in the country.
1. Which subway station is the second deepest in the world?
A. Hong Yan Cun Station B. Xiao Long Kan Station
C. Chong Guang Station D. Lie Shi Mu Station
2. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. To introduce the history of Chongqing rail transit.
B. To describe the unique design of several representative subway stations in Chongqing.
C. To talk about the transportation development in Chongqing.
D. To explain the popularity of subway stations among Chongqing people.
3. What can we infer from the passage about Lie Shi Mu Station?
A. It is the most popular subway station in Chongqing.
B. The graffiti in it is mainly about future life.
C. Its large graffiti area makes it quite special.
D. It has the same design concept as other stations.
B
The first time my daughter, Maia, realized I was leaving on a trip without her, she was alarmed. “Why did you even have me if you were just going to leave me behind? ” she sobbed. I tried to tell her that someday she’d understand the appeal of travel. But as my husband, Evan, pulled her off my leg so I could leave, I wondered if my solo trips would be worth the effort of going without her.
Returning home after a few days away, I felt energized and inspired. Maia was happy to hear about my trip. But this was the age of learning about compromises. As in: “You have to wear a coat, but we’ll compromise and you can choose which one.” She told me I could keep going on trips for work — but we’d compromise: she’d come with me.
When she was six, we flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico. I was impressed by how cheerfully fearless she was when we swam in cenotes (天然井) or dived along a reef. In Fiji, nine-year-old Maia was attracted by the compassionate (有同情心的) women chiefs we met and decided she wanted to become a leader. During a trip to Sri Lanka when she was 13, she learned how the coin flip of your birth country can affect your opportunities in life.
When we finished up our travels and returned home to Vancouver for her high school education, it shouldn’t have come as a surprise to learn that our daughter had other ideas. Maia was thrilled when, after months of interviews, she was awarded a place to finish high school at Waterford Kamhlaba United World College of Southern Africa.
But it was during that first airport goodbye that I realized it was my turn to be left behind. Compared to the goofy 17-year-old I’d bid goodbye to, the 21-year-old woman who came home from high school in Africa and, later, from university in France, seemed mature and unfamiliar.
4. How did Maia feel the first time she realized her mom was leaving on a trip without her?
A. Sad. B. Amazed. C. Confused. D. Excited.
5. What does the author want to tell in paragraph 3?
A. Maia’s joy of travel. B. Maia’s travel experiences.
C. Maia’s impression on travel. D. Maia’s bravery during her travels.
6. What did Maria do for high school education after returning home to Vancouver?
A. Maia finished high school in Vancouver. B. Maia got an award in high school.
C. Maia applied for a school in Africa. D. Maia went on travelling in Southern Africa.
7. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Travel shapes a person. B. Life is like a journey.
C. All roads lead to Rome. D. Parents are the best teachers.
C
For the first time, a donated heart has been flown 12 hours and 6,750 kilometers across the Atlantic Ocean and successfully transplanted (移植) into its recipient. It was transported via a commercial airline to Paris, France, marking the first time a donated heart has flown across the Atlantic.
At the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris, surgeon Guillaume Lebreton successfully transplanted the heart into a 70-year-old man with a heart condition. Lebreton called the success “an achievement previously unimaginable in organ transplantation”. It was achieved as part of a pilot study known as PEGASE, which aims to establish whether successful transplant is possible after the heart has been preserved for long periods of time — specifically, on journeys from Martinique and Guadeloupe in the Caribbean.
The heart was preserved using a special technique where a heart is kept cold. While there have been clinical trials exploring such a technique, according to the surgeon, this is the first time it’s been tested for such extreme transport times. If the results seen on this occasion are successfully used in the rest of the study, it’s hoped that the technique could have “the potential to redefine the landscape of heart transplantation with unlimited geographical procurement (获取) and lowered time limits”. At present, transplanting hearts is often a race against time — they generally need to be transplanted within four hours of being removed from a donor.
Increasing the geographical resources of potential donors could also have an impact on transplant list waiting times. In the US, for example, there are around 3,000 people on the waiting list for a heart on any given day, but only 2,000 hearts are available each year. Depending on qualification criteria, some people may be waiting for years; being able to get hearts from a wider range of places could cut down that time.
“We wanted to make this operation reproduceable and keep transport costs bearable,” Lebreton wrote. Unlike conventional donor-heart transport practices involving expensive private planes, we flew in the economy lass in a commercial airliner.”
8. What can we know about PEGASE?
A. It focuses on heart transplantation. B. It was launched by Lebreton.
C. It ignores treatment for heart disease. D. It has proved unsuccessful.
9. What is the main problem with heart transplantation now?
A. The chance of success is very low. B. Transplantation time is limited
C. There are no qualified donors. D. The surgeons are inexperienced.
10. Why are the figures mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To emphasize the rome of hearts. B. To prove the qualification of potential donors.
C. To say the impact of a transplant. D. To show the need for wider sources of donors.
11. What’s Lebreton’s attitude to using commercial airhners to transport donated hearts?
A. Approving. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Indifferent.
D
Around 40 million tonnes of electronic waste, known as e-waste, is produced every year. This includes electrical or electronic equipment that has been discarded. But where does it all go? In the US alone, 100 million mobile phones, 41 million computers and over 20 million televisions are thrown into landfills in a year. Even for standard waste this is a big headache, because any materials that are buried in the ground can’t be easily recovered and recycled. Recycling electronics can save energy and means that less of Earth’s natural resources need to be mined.
Failing to recycle e-waste is extremely damaging the environment due to the nature of the materials used in modern devices. While heavy metals and chemicals improve a device’s safety and user experience, these components become poisonous if they’re not dealt with properly. Your old phones, Gameboys, kettles, microwaves and more can end up in landfills, leaking their harmful contents into the soil, water and air. Not only does this kill wildlife and destroy ecosystems, but the accumulation of poison can impact human health too. As heavy metals and chemicals flow into lakes and rivers, drinking water becomes polluted. These poisons spread through the soil, impacting the health of crops and animals that people also rely on.
In some western countries, e-waste isn’t hidden out of sight in landfills but is burnt in giant, open junkyards. They even ship waste electronics to other countries to deal with, and this often ends up in dumps across Africa and Asia. Workers in these places are exposed to polluted lands and chemical gas.
It is urgent that we should reduce the damaging and unsustainable side of e-waste production. Rare earth metals, some plastics and chemicals can be fed into the next generation of electronics. The steps to proper recycling of e-waste are extensive and need large investment, but more and more countries around the world are turning to e-waste recycling.
12. What does the underlined word “discarded” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Repaired. B. Protected. C. Used. D. Abandoned.
13. What can be learned from Paragraph 2?
A. E-waste has a permanent effect on the environment.
B. E-waste may do harm to both ecosystems and humans.
C. Heavy metals and chemicals are poisonous to the users.
D. Burying e-waste into landfills is an effective way to recycle.
14. As for some western countries’ actions, the author is ________.
A. supportive B. objective C. concerned D. uncertain
15. What might the author continue to talk about?
A. Solutions to destroying e-waste. B. Ways to recycle e-waste properly.
C. Applications of recycled materials. D. Investments in restoring ecosystems.

How we garden
Some of us are challenged when it comes to gardening. We sometimes worry too much about what other people think about our gardens. The most important thing to remember when you’re creating your own garden is that it really needs to be about you. ____16____
That said, the best gardens work well with their surrounding environment. For instance, you might want to create a tropical (热带) feel but if you’ve got next-door’s oak tree (橡树) as the major background then it could look slightly odd. ____17____ If your garden is north-facing and you use black or grey-colored material, everything could become dark and depressing.

A. A straight copy is never going to work, is it?
B. Grasses are a great example of this sort of secondary role.
C. All of these considerations will really help you set the tone.

E The direction your garden faces will also affect the overall look.

In June 2021 Alice and her sister, Emily, took a plane to Budapest. It was a very long journey, with quite a few brief stays along the way. When they finally arrived at the airport in the afternoon, after about 24 hours, the two sisters were both tired and stressed. As a result, they carried their three heavy suitcases, stopped a taxi, got into it and headed to their rented apartment right away.
“We got to the apartment and no check-in instructions had arrived,” Alice said. “The owner was not available at that moment and the phone was powered off all the time.”
Then they tried calling customer service, but not a live person was available, either. They could do nothing but chat with a robot, but their problem was too complicated for the system. It couldn’t get their meaning. The two sisters were getting more and more tired. So Alice used the app to reach out to some of the owners of nearby apartments. “And the third one that I texted said, ’Yes, my apartment is still available. You can go and check in. Here is the code, ’” Alice said.
Immediately, they grabbed their suitcases and started rolling them down the sidewalk toward the new apartment, though they had no idea whether the apartment would suit them. They walked down a block and around the corner. Then they looked up, but what they saw filled them with fear: A series of five staircases, winding up the hill. It meant that they would have to climb to reach the street with their apartment building.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

As soon as they saw that, Emily just wanted to cry.

The first time my daughter, Maia, realized I was leaving on a trip without her, she was alarmed. “Why did you even have me if you were just going to leave me behind? ” she sobbed. I tried to tell her that someday she’d understand the appeal of travel. But as my husband, Evan, pulled her off my leg so I could leave, I wondered if my solo trips would be worth the effort of going without her.
Returning home after a few days away, I felt energized and inspired. Maia was happy to hear about my trip. But this was the age of learning about compromises. As in: “You have to wear a coat, but we’ll compromise and you can choose which one.” She told me I could keep going on trips for work — but we’d compromise: she’d come with me.
When she was six, we flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico. I was impressed by how cheerfully fearless she was when we swam in cenotes (天然井) or dived along a reef. In Fiji, nine-year-old Maia was attracted by the compassionate (有同情心的) women chiefs we met and decided she wanted to become a leader. During a trip to Sri Lanka when she was 13, she learned how the coin flip of your birth country can affect your opportunities in life.
When we finished up our travels and returned home to Vancouver for her high school education, it shouldn’t have come as a surprise to learn that our daughter had other ideas. Maia was thrilled when, after months of interviews, she was awarded a place to finish high school at Waterford Kamhlaba United World College of Southern Africa.
But it was during that first airport goodbye that I realized it was my turn to be left behind. Compared to the goofy 17-year-old I’d bid goodbye to, the 21-year-old woman who came home from high school in Africa and, later, from university in France, seemed mature and unfamiliar.
4. How did Maia feel the first time she realized her mom was leaving on a trip without her?
A. Sad. B. Amazed. C. Confused. D. Excited.
5. What does the author want to tell in paragraph 3?
A. Maia’s joy of travel. B. Maia’s travel experiences.
C. Maia’s impression on travel. D. Maia’s bravery during her travels.
6. What did Maria do for high school education after returning home to Vancouver?
A. Maia finished high school in Vancouver. B. Maia got an award in high school.
C. Maia applied for a school in Africa. D. Maia went on travelling in Southern Africa.
7. What can we learn from the passage?

For the first time, a donated heart has been flown 12 hours and 6,750 kilometers across the Atlantic Ocean and successfully transplanted (移植) into its recipient. It was transported via a commercial airline to Paris, France, marking the first time a donated heart has flown across the Atlantic.
At the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris, surgeon Guillaume Lebreton successfully transplanted the heart into a 70-year-old man with a heart condition. Lebreton called the success “an achievement previously unimaginable in organ transplantation”. It was achieved as part of a pilot study known as PEGASE, which aims to establish whether successful transplant is possible after the heart has been preserved for long periods of time — specifically, on journeys from Martinique and Guadeloupe in the Caribbean.
The heart was preserved using a special technique where a heart is kept cold. While there have been clinical trials exploring such a technique, according to the surgeon, this is the first time it’s been tested for such extreme transport times. If the results seen on this occasion are successfully used in the rest of the study, it’s hoped that the technique could have “the potential to redefine the landscape of heart transplantation with unlimited geographical procurement (获取) and lowered time limits”. At present, transplanting hearts is often a race against time — they generally need to be transplanted within four hours of being removed from a donor.
Increasing the geographical resources of potential donors could also have an impact on transplant list waiting times. In the US, for example, there are around 3,000 people on the waiting list for a heart on any given day, but only 2,000 hearts are available each year. Depending on qualification criteria, some people may be waiting for years; being able to get hearts from a wider range of places could cut down that time.
“We wanted to make this operation reproduceable and keep transport costs bearable,” Lebreton wrote. Unlike conventional donor-heart transport practices involving expensive private planes, we flew in the economy lass in a commercial airliner.”
8. What can we know about PEGASE?
A. It focuses on heart transplantation. B. It was launched by Lebreton.
C. It ignores treatment for heart disease. D. It has proved unsuccessful.
9. What is the main problem with heart transplantation now?
A. The chance of success is very low. B. Transplantation time is limited
C. There are no qualified donors. D. The surgeons are inexperienced.
10. Why are the figures mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To emphasize the rome of hearts. B. To prove the qualification of potential donors.
C. To say the impact of a transplant. D. To show the need for wider sources of donors.
11. What’s Lebreton’s attitude to using commercial airhners to transport donated hearts?
A. Approving. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Indifferent.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了首次通过商业航班跨大西洋运送捐赠心脏并成功移植的医学突破。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段中“ It was achieved as part of a pilot study known as PEGASE, which aims to establish whether successful transplant is possible after the heart has been preserved for long periods of time — specifically, on journeys from Martinique and Guadeloupe in the Caribbean.(这是一项名为PEGASE的试点研究的一部分,该研究旨在确定心脏在长期保存后是否有可能成功移植——特别是从加勒比海的马提尼克岛和瓜德罗普岛运送。)”可知,PEGASE项目的重点是心脏移植。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段中“At present, transplanting hearts is often a race against time — they generally need to be transplanted within four hours of being removed from a donor.(目前,移植心脏往往是与时间赛跑——通常需要在从捐赠者身上取出心脏后4小时内进行移植。)”可知,目前心脏移植的主要问题是移植时间有限。故选B。

【11题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段““We wanted to make this operation reproduceable and keep transport costs bearable,” Lebreton wrote. Unlike conventional donor-heart transport practices involving expensive private planes, we flew in the economy lass in a commercial airliner.”(Lebreton写道:“我们想让这个操作可复制,并保持运输成本可承受。”与传统的昂贵的私人飞机运送捐赠心脏的做法不同,我们乘坐的是一架商业客机的经济舱。”)”可知,Lebreton对使用商业航班运输捐赠心脏持赞成态度。故选A。
D
Around 40 million tonnes of electronic waste, known as e-waste, is produced every year. This includes electrical or electronic equipment that has been discarded. But where does it all go? In the US alone, 100 million mobile phones, 41 million computers and over 20 million televisions are thrown into landfills in a year. Even for standard waste this is a big headache, because any materials that are buried in the ground can’t be easily recovered and recycled. Recycling electronics can save energy and means that less of Earth’s natural resources need to be mined.
Failing to recycle e-waste is extremely damaging the environment due to the nature of the materials used in modern devices. While heavy metals and chemicals improve a device’s safety and user experience, these components become poisonous if they’re not dealt with properly. Your old phones, Gameboys, kettles, microwaves and more can end up in landfills, leaking their harmful contents into the soil, water and air. Not only does this kill wildlife and destroy ecosystems, but the accumulation of poison can impact human health too. As heavy metals and chemicals flow into lakes and rivers, drinking water becomes polluted. These poisons spread through the soil, impacting the health of crops and animals that people also rely on.
In some western countries, e-waste isn’t hidden out of sight in landfills but is burnt in giant, open junkyards. They even ship waste electronics to other countries to deal with, and this often ends up in dumps across Africa and Asia. Workers in these places are exposed to polluted lands and chemical gas.
It is urgent that we should reduce the damaging and unsustainable side of e-waste production. Rare earth metals, some plastics and chemicals can be fed into the next generation of electronics. The steps to proper recycling of e-waste are extensive and need large investment, but more and more countries around the world are turning to e-waste recycling.
12. What does the underlined word “discarded” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Repaired. B. Protected. C. Used. D. Abandoned.
13. What can be learned from Paragraph 2?
A. E-waste has a permanent effect on the environment.
B. E-waste may do harm to both ecosystems and humans.
C. Heavy metals and chemicals are poisonous to the users.
D. Burying e-waste into landfills is an effective way to recycle.
14. As for some western countries’ actions, the author is ________.
A. supportive B. objective C. concerned D. uncertain
15. What might the author continue to talk about?
A. Solutions to destroying e-waste. B. Ways to recycle e-waste properly.
C. Applications of recycled materials. D. Investments in restoring ecosystems.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是电子垃圾造成环境污染,现在很多国家正通过回收电子垃圾来减少电子垃圾带来的危害。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词后的“But where does it all go? In the US alone, 100 million mobile phones, 41 million computers and over 20 million televisions are thrown into landfills in a year.(但这些电子垃圾都去哪儿了呢?仅在美国,每年就有1亿部手机、4100万台电脑和2000多万台电视被扔进垃圾填埋场)”可知,每年有很多的电器和电子产品被扔进了垃圾填埋场,是对电子垃圾去向的回答。由此可知,有很多的电器或者电子产品被丢弃,所以划线单词的意思与“丢弃”意义相近。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Failing to recycle e-waste is extremely damaging the environment due to the nature of the materials used in modern devices.(由于现代设备中使用的材料的性质,未能回收电子垃圾对环境造成了极大的破坏)”可知,未能回收电子垃圾会对环境造成极大的破坏,结合下文中的“Not only does this kill wildlife and destroy ecosystems, but the accumulation of poison can impact human health too. As heavy metals and chemicals flow into lakes and rivers, drinking water becomes polluted. These poisons spread through the soil, impacting the health of crops and animals that people also rely on.(这不仅会杀死野生动物和破坏生态系统,而且毒素的积累也会影响人类的健康。由于重金属和化学物质流入湖泊和河流,饮用水受到污染。这些毒物通过土壤传播,影响人们赖以生存的农作物和动物的健康)”可知,电子垃圾带来的污染会破坏生态系统,影响人类健康,而且还会用向人们赖以生存的农作物和动物的健康。由此可知,电子垃圾可能对生态系统和人类都有害。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“They even ship waste electronics to other countries to deal with, and this often ends up in dumps across Africa and Asia. Workers in these places are exposed to polluted lands and chemical gas.(他们甚至把废弃的电子产品运往其他国家处理,而这些电子产品最终往往被倾倒在非洲和亚洲各地。这些地方的工人暴露在被污染的土地和化学气体中)”可知,一些西方国家把废弃的电子产品运往其他国家处理而最终被倾倒在非洲和亚洲各地,而这些地方的工人暴露在被污染的土地和化学气体中,这会给这些工人带来伤害。由此推知,作者对一些西方国家的做法表示担忧。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“The steps to proper recycling of e-waste are extensive and need large investment, but more and more countries around the world are turning to e-waste recycling.(合理回收电子垃圾的步骤广泛,需要大量的投资,但世界上越来越多的国家开始转向电子垃圾的回收)”可知,现在世界上越来越多的国际开始转向电子垃圾的回收。由此推知,作者接下来应会谈论恰当回收电子垃圾的方法。故选B项。

How we garden
Some of us are challenged when it comes to gardening. We sometimes worry too much about what other people think about our gardens. The most important thing to remember when you’re creating your own garden is that it really needs to be about you. ____16____
That said, the best gardens work well with their surrounding environment. For instance, you might want to create a tropical (热带) feel but if you’ve got next-door’s oak tree (橡树) as the major background then it could look slightly odd. ____17____ If your garden is north-facing and you use black or grey-colored material, everything could become dark and depressing.
When it comes to planting, there are a lot of great influences out there. You might like the work of designers such as Piet Oudolf. But it’s good to remember that these influences are best used as a guide. ____18____ If you want to use ideas from other garden designers, then look for one that you’re comfortable with but don’t try to copy it outright—just be inspired by them.
____19____ I always think that if you’ve got fewer materials then the plants can sing better. For me, the plants are always at the heart of the garden. If you want them to stand out, keep your materials to as small a number as possible.
It’s the same when we select plants. We often forget that we don’t need a garden full of stars; we also need plants that provide the support act. ____20____ They often bring a more subtle element to the design.
A. A straight copy is never going to work, is it?
B. Grasses are a great example of this sort of secondary role.
C. All of these considerations will really help you set the tone.
D. You shouldn’t concern yourself with what anyone else thinks.
E. The direction your garden faces will also affect the overall look.
F. In the use of different materials in your garden design, less is definitely more.

【20题详解】
根据前文“We often forget that we don’t need a garden full of stars; we also need plants that provide the support act.(我们常常忘记,我们需要的不是满园繁星;我们也需要提供支持的植物。)”可知,我们需要不是很显眼的背景的植物;B项“Grasses are a great example of this sort of secondary role.(草是这种次要作用的一个很好的例子。)”符合题意,选项中的secondary role呼应上文的support act。故选B项。

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。
In June 2021, Alice and her sister, Emily, took a plane to Budapest. It was a very long journey, with quite a few brief stays along the way. When they finally arrived at the airport in the afternoon, after about 24 hours, the two sisters were both tired and stressed. As a result, they carried their three heavy suitcases, stopped a taxi, got into it and headed to their rented apartment right away.
“We got to the apartment and no check-in instructions had arrived,” Alice said. “The owner was not available at that moment and the phone was powered off all the time.”
Then they tried calling customer service, but not a live person was available, either. They could do nothing but chat with a robot, but their problem was too complicated for the system. It couldn’t get their meaning. The two sisters were getting more and more tired. So Alice used the app to reach out to some of the owners of nearby apartments. “And the third one that I texted said, ’Yes, my apartment is still available. You can go and check in. Here is the code, ’” Alice said.
Immediately, they grabbed their suitcases and started rolling them down the sidewalk toward the new apartment, though they had no idea whether the apartment would suit them. They walked down a block and around the corner. Then they looked up, but what they saw filled them with fear: A series of five staircases, winding up the hill. It meant that they would have to climb to reach the street with their apartment building.
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。
As soon as they saw that, Emily just wanted to cry.

Opening the door of the apartment, they knew everything was worthwhile.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
As soon as they saw that, Emily just wanted to cry. The thought of dragging their heavy suitcases up those endless stairs seemed like an impossible task, especially after such a long and exhausting journey. But Alice put a comforting arm around her sister’s shoulder. “Come on, Emily. We’ve faced something worse than this. Let’s take it one step at a time. Together, we can do this.” With renewed determination, the sisters began the climb, each step a testament to their resilience and sisterly bond. As they reached the apartment building, breathless and sweaty, they looked at each other and grinned, knowing they had overcome yet another obstacle.
Opening the door of the apartment, they knew everything was worthwhile. The room was clean, with modern furniture and a cozy atmosphere. Sunlight streamed in through the windows, casting warm golden rays across the room. Best of all, the apartment was situated in a quiet neighborhood, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Alice and Emily exchanged a look of relief, knowing that despite the challenges they had faced, they had found a haven in this unfamiliar city. As they settled in, they couldn’t help but feel grateful for the kindness of strangers and the strength of their own perseverance.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索,讲述了Alice和Emily前往布达佩斯途中及到达后的经历。姐妹俩在抵达后无法入住预定公寓,因为房东失联。她们尝试通过客服求助未果,后Alice主动联系附近公寓房东,获得新住宿机会。然而,新公寓需爬五段楼梯才能到达,给她们带来新挑战。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“他们一看到这一幕,Emily就想哭。”可知,第一段可描写Alice鼓励Emily以及爬楼梯的经过。
②由第二段首句内容“打开公寓的门,他们知道一切都是值得的。”可知,第二段可描写公寓的舒适和美丽景色以及对陌生人的善良和自己坚持不懈的力量感到感激。
2. 续写线索:想哭——安慰鼓励——成功爬完楼梯——看见干净的公寓和美丽的景色——感觉值得——感激。
3. 词汇激活

①拖:drag/haul
②露齿而笑:grin/beam
③安顿下来:settle in/make oneself at home
情绪类
①疲惫的:exhausting/tiring

【点睛】[高分句型1]As they reached the apartment building, breathless and sweaty, they looked at each other and grinned, knowing they had overcome yet another obstacle.(as引导的时间状语从句以及省略that的宾语从句)
