Carrying her beloved erhu, which had been passed down from her grandmother, 17-year-old Li Mei from Chengdu stepped off the plane in Paris in July 2024. As part of a youth cultural exchange program, she had dreamed of this moment for years. However, the weight of representing her heritage in a foreign land left her palms sweaty. Little did she know that this trip would spark an extraordinary musical creation.
During a workshop at a local art school, Li met Pierre, a French violinist who was fascinated by her instrument’s attractive sound. “It’s like the voice of ancient China,” he remarked with excitement, gently plucking(拨) the erhu’s strings. Inspired by each other’s music, they decided to mix the soulful melodies (旋律) of the erhu with the dynamic range of the violin for a performance at the upcoming Bastille Day celebration.
As they practiced in a sunlit studio overlooking the Seine, Li taught Pierre how to imitate raindrops with quick bow movements on the erhu, while Pierre showed her how to weave Western harmonies into the Chinese folk tune “Jasmine Flower.” The integration created a charming soundscape that neither had imagined possible. On the performance night, their piece “Silk Road Echoes” received thunderous applause. The audience were amazed at how the erhu’s sad tones danced with the violin’s vigorous melodies.
What began as a summer experiment blossomed into lasting friendship and something far greater. Today, Li and Pierre co-teach virtual music classes, connecting students in Chengdu and Lyon through weekly “global jam sessions.” Their students cooperate on pieces that mix erhu with guitar or Peking opera with jazz. Li often tells her pupils, “Music has no borders; it’s a language that turns differences into harmonies.” When traditions meet with open hearts, they don’t conflict; they compose something entirely new.
4. Why did Li Mei bring her erhu to Paris?
A. To share Chinese music culture.
B. To give it to her friend as a present.
C. To display it at a local studio.
D. To teach students full - time.
5. What caused the first cooperation of Li Mei and Pierre?
A. Love for Chinese music.
B Desire to teach music.
C. Celebration opportunity.
D. Mutual music inspiration.
6. Why was “Silk Road Echoes” well received by the audience?
A. It reflected the beauty of nature.
B. It featured traditional Chinese folk music.
C. It showed instruments perfectly.
D. It bridged different civilizations musically.
7. What does the story mainly convey?
A. Music is the source of lasting friendship.
B. Mastering an instrument requires practice.
C Traditional music resists modern influences.
D. Cooperation across cultures generates innovation.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7. D

细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Carrying her beloved erhu, which had been passed down from her grandmother, 17 - year - old Li Mei from Chengdu stepped off the plane in Paris in July 2024. As part of a youth cultural exchange program, she had dreamed of this moment for years. However, the weight of representing her heritage in a foreign land left her palms sweaty(2024年7月,17岁的成都女孩李梅带着祖母传下来的心爱的二胡,走下了巴黎的飞机。作为青年文化交流项目的一部分,她多年来一直梦想着这一刻。然而,在异国他乡代表自己的文化遗产的压力让她手心出汗)”可知,李梅带二胡去巴黎是作为青年文化交流项目的一部分,目的是分享中国音乐文化。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“During a workshop at a local art school, Li met Pierre, a French violinist who was fascinated by her instrument’s attractive sound. “It’s like the voice of ancient China,” he remarked with excitement, gently plucking(拨) the erhu’s strings. Inspired by each other’s music, they decided to mix the soulful melodies(旋律) of the erhu with the dynamic range of the violin for a performance at the upcoming Bastille Day celebration(在当地一所艺术学校的研讨会上,李遇到了皮埃尔,一位被她的乐器悦耳声音所吸引的法国小提琴家。“这就像古老中国的声音,”他兴奋地说,轻轻地拨弄着二胡的弦。受到彼此音乐的启发,他们决定将二胡深情的旋律与小提琴的动态音域相结合,在即将到来的巴士底日庆祝活动中进行表演)”可知,李梅和皮埃尔的第一次合作是因为彼此音乐的启发。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“As they practiced in a sunlit studio overlooking the Seine, Li taught Pierre how to imitate raindrops with quick bow movements on the erhu, while Pierre showed her how to weave Western harmonies into the Chinese folk tune “Jasmine Flower.” The integration created a charming soundscape that neither had imagined possible. On the performance night, their piece “Silk Road Echoes” received thunderous applause. The audience were amazed at how the erhu’s sad tones danced with the violin’s vigorous melodies(当他们在一个可以俯瞰塞纳河的阳光明媚的工作室里练习时,李梅教皮埃尔如何用二胡快速的运弓动作模仿雨滴声,而皮埃尔则教她如何将西方和声融入中国民歌《茉莉花》中。这种融合创造出了一种他们俩都未曾想象过的迷人音景。在演出当晚,他们的作品《丝绸之路的回响》赢得了雷鸣般的掌声。观众们惊叹于二胡的忧伤音调与小提琴的激昂旋律是如何交织在一起的)”可知,李梅教皮埃尔如何用二胡快速的运弓动作模仿雨滴声,而皮埃尔则教她如何将西方和声融入中国民歌《茉莉花》中。这种融合创造出了一种他们俩都未曾想象过的迷人音景,可推理出《丝绸之路的回响》受到观众欢迎是因为它在音乐上融合了中西方不同的文化,将二胡和小提琴的特点结合,即它在音乐上连接了不同的文明。故选D项。

A garden constructed with “humble” clay fashioned into 3D - printed bricks has claimed the first green medal at the Chelsea Flower Show for being the most environmentally sustainable design.
The Chelsea Flower Show, a celebrated global event held annually at Chelsea, London, has been a foundation of the gardening calendar since 1913. It began as a way to show the latest trends in gardening and plant varieties. The Environmental Innovation Award is the first of its sort and goes along with the gold, silver and bronze medals awarded to the most attractive and interesting gardens.
Giulio Giorgi, a first-time Chelsea designer, stated he created the green-medal-winning garden with no concrete. Most gardens contain concrete in some form and the materials they are built from often generate the highest carbon footprint.
While the employment of pollinator - friendly plants, wild areas and sensible use of water are well - known easy ways to make a garden more sustainable, Giorgi said it was crucial to focus on the building materials as their carbon footprint was often overlooked.
“We typically use a lot of metal, cement (水泥) and then all the energy we have to put in to build the gardens. The material in our garden is low-temperature-fired clay, a resource that can be found pretty much everywhere. We made this clay into 3D-printed bricks, connecting ancient tradition with novel practices so carbon emissions are the lowest possible, if any. The bricks keep water like a sponge and release it when drought strikes plants,” said Giorgi.
Judges considered end-of-life plans for the gardens and whether materials could be reused. The 3D-printed nature of Giorgi's garden means it can easily be taken apart and put together again. As a result, when it is relocated to RHS Garden Wisley, where it will live on after the show as an educational facility, the carbon emissions will be low as no materials will be wasted.
8. What do we know about the Chelsea Flower Show?
A. It values sustainability and appeal.
B. It aimed to encourage outdoor fitness.
C. It prohibits concrete in competing gardens.
D. It has a tradition of advocating for greenness.
9. What advantage does clay have over other building materials according to Giorgi?
A. It catches fire less easily.
B. It's more durable and absorbent.
C. It takes less labor to produce.
D. It's eco - friendly and more available.
10. What will become of Giorgi's garden after the show?
A. It'll be sold publicly.
B. It'll serve as an urban landmark.
C. It'll be turned into a school.
D. It'll come into play in another spot.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Clay Bricks: Recyclable Building Material
B. Chelsea Flower Show: Celebration of Gardening
C. Garden with Clay Bricks: Winner of Green Medal
D. Giulio Giorgi: Designer Enthusiastic about High - Tech
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. C
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A garden constructed with “humble” clay fashioned into 3D - printed bricks has claimed the first green medal at the Chelsea Flower Show for being the most environmentally sustainable design.(一座由“不起眼”的黏土制成的3D打印砖块建造的花园因其最具环境可持续性的设计在切尔西花展上获得了首个绿色奖章)” 以及第二段“The Environmental Innovation Award is the first of its sort and goes along with the gold, silver and bronze medals awarded to the most attractive and interesting gardens.(环境创新奖是此类奖项中的第一个,与颁发给最具吸引力和趣味性花园的金、银、铜牌一同颁发)”可知,切尔西花展既重视可持续性,又重视花园的吸引力。A 选项“It values sustainability and appeal.(它重视可持续性和吸引力。)”符合文意,故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“The material in our garden is low - temperature - fired clay, a resource that can be found pretty much everywhere. We made this clay into 3D - printed bricks, connecting ancient tradition with novel practices so carbon emissions are the lowest possible, if any.(我们花园里的材料是低温烧制的粘土,这种资源几乎随处可见。我们将这种粘土制成3D打印砖,将古老的传统与新颖的做法相结合,从而尽可能降低碳排放,如果有的话)”可知,与其他建筑材料相比,粘土更环保且更容易获取。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“As a result, when it is relocated to RHS Garden Wisley, where it will live on after the show as an educational facility, the carbon emissions will be low as no materials will be wasted.(因此,当它被搬迁到英国皇家园艺学会威斯利花园(RHS Garden Wisley),在展览结束后作为一个教育设施继续存在时,碳排放将很低,因为不会浪费任何材料)”可知,展览结束后,Giorgi的花园将被搬迁到另一个地方继续发挥作用。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段“A garden constructed with "humble" clay fashioned into 3D - printed bricks has claimed the first green medal at the Chelsea Flower Show for being the most environmentally sustainable design.(一个由“普通”粘土制成3D打印砖建造的花园,因其是最环保的设计而在切尔西花展上获得了第一枚绿色奖章。)”、第二段“The Environmental Innovation Award is the first of its sort and goes along with the gold, silver and bronze medals awarded to the most attractive and interesting gardens.(环境创新奖是此类奖项中的第一个,与颁发给最具吸引力和趣味性花园的金、银、铜牌一同颁发)”、第五段“The material in our garden is low - temperature - fired clay, a resource that can be found pretty much everywhere. We made this clay into 3D - printed bricks, connecting ancient tradition with novel practices so carbon emissions are the lowest possible, if any.(我们花园里的材料是低温烧制的粘土,这种资源几乎随处可见。我们将这种粘土制成3D打印砖,将古老的传统与新颖的做法相结合,从而尽可能降低碳排放,如果有的话)”以及最后一段“As a result, when it is relocated to RHS Garden Wisley, where it will live on after the show as an educational facility, the carbon emissions will be low as no materials will be wasted.(因此,当它被搬迁到英国皇家园艺学会威斯利花园(RHS Garden Wisley),在展览结束后作为一个教育设施继续存在时,碳排放将很低,因为不会浪费任何材料)”可知,文章介绍了用粘土砖建造的花园获得了切尔西花展的绿色奖章,随后的段落围绕这个花园展开介绍,包括其建造材料粘土的优势、花园的可持续性以及展览结束后的去向等。所以C项“Garden with Clay Bricks: Winner of Green Medal(用粘土砖建造的花园:绿色奖章获得者)”最适合作为文章标题。故选C项。
D
Last weekend, Bruce Springsteen performed at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, which is about an hour’s drive from where I live. I’ve been a big fan of his music for ages, but I’ve never had the chance to see him live in concert. There were still tickets available, and yet I held back. I didn’t want to go there alone. I’m an independent woman who’s been living alone since I graduated from college. I really enjoy my solo (单独的) time and need it to recharge after demanding work. I love hanging out with small groups of friends and seeing my brother and his family, but I hesitate when leisure time involves large crowds, such as concerts or even movies. I don’t have social anxiety, so I often wonder why I hesitate when it comes to going somewhere alone.
A previous study stated that people hesitate about doing things by themselves because they’re afraid of how they’ll be perceived. The good news is that no one is going to notice that. The reason is the “spotlight effect”, which has been tested and proven through the use of bright yellow T-shirts. Students were forced to wear these bright shirts to class and were asked how many students they thought would notice them. The subjects thought, on average, about 50% of the class would notice them. In reality, fewer than 20% of the students noticed the shirts.
I believe that some activities, such as listening to one’s favorite music at a concert, would be a greater pleasure if it was a shared experience. However, according to some studies, people actually had about as much fun doing fun activities alone as they thought they would be accompanied by friends.
If enjoying the free time we have depends on finding others to join us, we’ll go from having serious FOMO (Fear of missing out) to absolutely MO as people work more hours and have less free time these days. So if I had another chance to go to Bruce’s concert, even alone, I would surely go.
12. Why did the author miss Bruce Springsteen’s concert?
A. She desired solo time.
B. The ticket was sold out.
C. She preferred not to attend alone.
D. The stadium was too far from her home.
13. What can we know about the author?
A. She enjoys socializing with familiar people.
B. She suffers from severe social anxiety.
C. She prizes family ties over friendships.
D. She gets bored with her present job.
14. What does “the spotlight effect” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The fear of being judged by others.
B. The fact that bright clothes attract more attention.
C. The tendency to focus on what’s happening around us.
D. The belief that we’re being noticed more than we really are.
15. What does the author aim to do in the last paragraph?
A. To express her fondness for Bruce.
B. To explain the busyness of our daily life.
C. To encourage people to do activities alone.
D. To stress the importance of social connections.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文,作者讲述了自己因不想独自去看喜欢的歌手布鲁斯・斯普林斯汀的演唱会而错过机会,进而探讨了人们对于独自做事的犹豫心理以及相关研究,最后表明自己以后会独自去参加类似活动的态度。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“There were still tickets available, and yet I held back. I didn’t want to go there alone. (还有票,但我犹豫了。我不想一个人去那里)”可知,作者错过布鲁斯・斯普林斯汀的演唱会是因为她不想独自去参加。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“I really enjoy my solo (单独的) time and need it to recharge after demanding work. I love hanging out with small groups of friends and seeing my brother and his family, but I hesitate when leisure time involves large crowds, such as concerts or even movies. (我真的很享受我的独处时间,在繁忙的工作后需要独处来恢复精力。我喜欢和一小群朋友出去玩,也喜欢看望我的哥哥和他的家人,但当休闲时间涉及到大量人群时,比如演唱会甚至电影,我就会犹豫)”可知,作者享受独处时间和一小群朋友出去玩,也喜欢看望哥哥和他的家人,可推理出作者喜欢和熟悉的朋友以及家人相处,即她喜欢和熟悉的人社交。故选A项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“A previous study stated that people hesitate about doing things by themselves because they’re afraid of how they’ll be perceived. The good news is that no one is going to notice that. The reason is the “spotlight effect”, which has been tested and proven through the use of bright yellow T-shirts. Students were forced to wear these bright shirts to class and were asked how many students they thought would notice them. The subjects thought, on average, about 50% of the class would notice them. In reality, fewer than 20% of the students noticed the shirts. (之前的一项研究表明,人们在独自做事时会犹豫,因为他们害怕别人对自己的看法。好消息是,没人会注意到这一点。原因是the “spotlight effect”,这已经通过穿亮黄色T恤进行了测试和证明。学生们被迫穿着这些亮色的衬衫去上课,并被问及他们认为会有多少学生注意到他们。受试者平均认为,大约50%的学生会注意到他们。实际上,只有不到20%的学生注意到了这些衬衫)”可知,人们在独自做事时会犹豫,因为他们害怕别人对自己的看法,通过穿亮黄色T恤进行了测试证明:受试者平均认为大约50%的学生会注意到他们,而实际上只有不到20%的学生注意到了他们,可推理出划线部分the “spotlight effect”指的是人们认为自己被注意到的程度比实际情况要高,即我们认为自己被关注的程度超过了实际情况。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“If enjoying the free time we have depends on finding others to join us, we’ll go from having serious FOMO(Fear of missing out) to absolutely MO as people work more hours and have less free time these days. So if I had another chance to go to Bruce’s concert, even alone, I would surely go(. 如果我们享受空闲时间取决于找到其他人加入我们,那么随着如今人们工作时间更长、空闲时间更少,我们会从严重的“错失恐惧症”变成完全的“错失”。所以如果我再有机会去看布鲁斯的演唱会,即使是一个人,我肯定会去)可知,随着如今人们工作时间更长、空闲时间更少,我们会从严重的“错失恐惧症”变成完全的“错失”,可推理出作者通过阐述人们空闲时间的现状,表明自己以后会独自去参加类似活动,其目的是鼓励人们独自去做活动。故选C项。
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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We’ve all been there before — you’re in conversation, things are getting along nicely. ___16___. At that moment, your mind goes completely blank, you don’t know what to say, and you can sense the other person’s eyes wandering as they look for someone else to talk to. That scenario (场面) is terrible, so here are three tips to make sure that you never run out of things to say in conversation again.
Firstly, when you find yourself in that situation where your mind has gone blank, play “Reminds Me of”. That just means that you look to the environment around you and say, “You know, that reminds me of……” and then fill in the blank. ___17___ And it can also work as a follow-up when someone finishes telling a story, which is how many groups of friends interact all the time.
Second, when you ask questions, keep them open-ended as often as possible. ___18___ So rather than saying, “Oh, you’re from Toronto. Do you like it there?” you might say, “How do you like Toronto? I’m curious to hear more about it.” You should get the other person talking about the things that they like, which is going to open up more conversational topics.
___19___ This is the third tip. If you’re in a new group and conversation dies after initial pleasantries, a great question is, “How do you guys all know one another?” There’s almost always some kind of story that conversation can build from. If you’re only speaking to one person, you can say instead, “So what’s your story?” The great thing about this question is that it is so open-ended that the other person will probably guide you towards new topics, usually responding with something like, “You mean what do I do for work or what do I like to do for fun?” ___20___
A. Ask them about their exciting plans for the future.
B. It is great for opening new conversational topics.
C. Then out of nowhere, the awkward silence occurs.
D. You’d better avoid questions inviting a one-word response.
E. That’s because people don’t like to talk to others different from themselves.
F. For the worst scenario when conversation stops suddenly, use saving questions.
G His or her tone and enthusiasm will tell you the best angle of conversation to continue with.
【答案】16. C 17. B 18. D 19. F 20. G
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了三个谈话技巧,可以确保在谈话中永远不会无话可说。
【16题详解】
前文“We’ve all been there before — you’re in conversation, things are getting along nicely.(我们都有过这样的经历——你在交谈,事情进展得很顺利。)”描述对话中原本顺利,后文“At that moment, your mind goes completely blank, you don’t know what to say, and you can sense the other person’s eyes wandering as they look for someone else to talk to.(在那一刻,你的大脑一片空白,你不知道该说什么,你可以感觉到对方的眼睛在四处游荡,因为他们在寻找可以说话的人。)”说明对话突然出现尴尬的沉默,导致对方失去兴趣。选项C“然后不知怎么的,尴尬的沉默出现了。” 承前启后,对应前文things are getting along nicely的转折,自然引出后文mind goes blank的场景。故选C。
【17题详解】
前文“Firstly, when you find yourself in that situation where your mind has gone blank, play “Reminds Me of”.(首先,当你发现自己处于大脑一片空白的状态时,播放“ Reminds Me of”。)”介绍Reminds Me of的方法技巧,后文“And it can also work as a follow-up when someone finishes telling a story, which is how many groups of friends interact all the time.(当有人讲完一个故事时,它也可以作为后续工作,这就是有多少群朋友一直在互动。)”提到它可作为对话的后续提问。选项B“这是开启新的谈话话题的好方法。”强调该方法技巧开启新话题的作用,与后文逻辑一致。故选B。
【18题详解】
前文“Second, when you ask questions, keep them open-ended as often as possible.(第二,当你问问题的时候,尽可能保持开放性。)”建议使用开放式问题,后文“So rather than saying, “Oh, you’re from Toronto. Do you like it there?” you might say, “How do you like Toronto? I’m curious to hear more about it.”(所以不要说,“哦,你来自多伦多。你喜欢那里吗?你可能会说,“你觉得多伦怎么样?我很想多听一些。”)”举例对比封闭式问题和开放式问题。选项D“你最好避免用一个词来回答问题。”直接对应keep them open-ended,说明封闭式问题的弊端。故选D。
【19题详解】
后文“This is the third tip. If you’re in a new group and conversation dies after initial pleasantries, a great question is, “How do you guys all know one another?” There’s almost always some kind of story that conversation can build from. (这是第三个技巧。如果你在一个新群体里,在最初的寒暄之后,谈话就结束了,一个很好的问题是,“你们是怎么认识彼此的?”几乎总有一些故事可以作为对话的基础。)”提出第三个技巧,针对对话突然中断的情况提出建议。选项F“在最糟糕的情况下,当谈话突然停止时,使用挽救性问题。”直接点明使用“挽救性问题”,与后文How do you guys all know one another?的例子匹配。故选F。
【20题详解】
前文“The great thing about this question is that it is so open-ended that the other person will probably guide you towards new topics, usually responding with something like, “You mean what do I do for work or what do I like to do for fun?”(这个问题的好处是,它是开放式的,对方可能会引导你谈论新的话题,通常会这样回答:“你的意思是我做什么工作,或者我喜欢做什么娱乐?”)”提到对方可能反问“工作还是兴趣”,选项G“他或她的语气和热情会告诉你继续谈话的最佳角度。” 说明通过对方的反应找到对话方向,与前文逻辑衔接。故选G。

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要介绍了2024年12月4日,联合国教科文组织将中国人庆祝传统新年的春节相关文化习俗正式列为人类非物质文化遗产,以及春节的意义、传统习俗等内容。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:2024年12月4日,联合国教科文组织正式将中国人民庆祝传统新年的春节相关文化习俗认定为人类非物质文化遗产。此处表示将春节相关文化习俗列为人类非物质文化遗产,设空处填介词as“作为”,故填as。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:春节植根于中国文化,有各种形式的庆祝活动。空白处在句子中作定语,使用非谓语动词,因与其逻辑主语The Spring Festival之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,应使用过去分词,故填rooted。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:春节是人们通过大扫除、红色装饰和家庭节日聚餐等珍贵传统告别冬天、迎接春天的时刻。空白处应填入关系副词引导定语从句,先行词是a time,在从句中作时间状语,故填when。
【39题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:同上。空白处在句子中作宾语,使用名词 decoration,在句中指“装饰品”,为可数名词,因此处为泛指,应使用名词的复数形式,故填decorations。
【40题详解】
考查连词。句意:春节期间的舞龙舞狮伴随着有节奏的鼓点,被认为可以驱邪并带来祝福。根据空白处上文“to drive away evil spirits(驱邪)”以及下文“bring blessing(带来祝福)”可知,这里表示并列关系,故填and。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意:春节不仅仅是一个文化活动,更是一个全球性的团结和欢乐的庆典。修饰后面的名词celebration of unity and joy,填入形容词作定语,故填global。
【42题详解】
考查倒装、时态、主谓一致。句意:在春节的珍贵传统中,有送红包(或“红包”)的习俗,象征着新年的好运和祝福。因本句表示的是一个客观情况,谓语动词使用一般现在时,Among引导的介词短语位于句首时,句子使用倒装语序,主语是the giving of red envelopes,是单数概念,故填is。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:红色在节日的设计中占主导地位,代表着幸福和繁荣。空白处应填入现在分词作伴随状语,表示与其逻辑主语The color red之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,故填representing。
【44题详解】
考查时态。句意:在一个日益分裂的世界里,春节是人类共同价值观的有力提醒。此处陈述的是客观事实,应使用一般现在时,主语the Spring Festival是单数,故填stands。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:联合国教科文组织的认可标志着一个新篇章的开始,确保这些传统将激励后代。空白处后面有名词,根据冠词的用法,名词前需使用不定冠词表示“一个”含义,这里表示泛指“一个新篇章”,空后单词new的起始音为辅音因素,应填不定冠词a。故填a。

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。
Kaylie and I had been good friends since Grade 1. Whenever we had a break, we hung out together. And the more time we spent together, the more we realized how amazingly alike we were. We both liked baking extra-creative cookies, we both had awesome (and sometimes annoying) younger siblings, and we both have the same favorite song and even animal — dolphin.
Last summer, we went to the Arts and Crafts Fair in our park. There were so many things to see. We didn’t know where to begin. We had fun walking around the rows and rows of art booths, clothing racks and kick knack tables. I found the best polka-dot hat, but it cost too much. Kaylie fell in love with a yo-yo, but she looked at the price tag, and yup — it cost too much! To tell you the truth, we were starting to get discouraged. Just as we were about to give up on finding anything we could afford, we came to a table with gobs of gorgeous bracelets (手链). “These are so cool,” I said, picking up one with moons and stars. “And look, they’re in my price range!”
“Please try anything on. The beads (珠子) come from Thailand, and I string each bracelet with love. My name is Tex,” the jeweler said with a friendly smile. Then at the same moment, we both saw it! A bracelet with colorful beads shone brightly in the light, including two pink beads in the shape of dolphin, which added a playful touch to the design. It was the only bracelet like it on the table. Reaching for the bracelet together, we asked Tex if he possibly had any more dolphin bracelets just like this. To our disappointment, that was the last one.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Staring at the bracelet, both of us were hesitant.

When we both looked at the two dolphin beads in the bracelet, our eyes lit up.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Staring at the bracelet, both of us were hesitant. Obviously, neither of us could bear to put it down because the bracelet was so delicate. After all, it was a dolphin bracelet — just our favourite! However, seeing the eagerness in Kaylie’s eyes, I whispered, “It should be yours; it matches your style perfectly.” She shook her head, insisting that I should have it since it was I who found it first. Meanwhile, torn between the two of us, Tex was completely at a loss what to do, standing there helplessly.
When we both looked at the two dolphin beads in the bracelet, our eyes lit up. “What if we split the two dolphin beads and each make our own bracelet?” we exclaimed, excitement bubbling. Tex felt relieved, quickly removed a dolphin bead, picked out colorful beads to match it and strung them onto another bracelet. When he handed us our new bracelets, we grinned, realizing it didn’t matter who would wear it; what mattered was our friendship and the joy we found in sharing this special moment. From then on, Kaylie and I shared one more thing — a dolphin bracelet!

Carrying her beloved erhu, which had been passed down from her grandmother, 17-year-old Li Mei from Chengdu stepped off the plane in Paris in July 2024. As part of a youth cultural exchange program, she had dreamed of this moment for years. However, the weight of representing her heritage in a foreign land left her palms sweaty. Little did she know that this trip would spark an extraordinary musical creation.
During a workshop at a local art school, Li met Pierre, a French violinist who was fascinated by her instrument’s attractive sound. “It’s like the voice of ancient China,” he remarked with excitement, gently plucking(拨) the erhu’s strings. Inspired by each other’s music, they decided to mix the soulful melodies (旋律) of the erhu with the dynamic range of the violin for a performance at the upcoming Bastille Day celebration.
As they practiced in a sunlit studio overlooking the Seine, Li taught Pierre how to imitate raindrops with quick bow movements on the erhu, while Pierre showed her how to weave Western harmonies into the Chinese folk tune “Jasmine Flower.” The integration created a charming soundscape that neither had imagined possible. On the performance night, their piece “Silk Road Echoes” received thunderous applause. The audience were amazed at how the erhu’s sad tones danced with the violin’s vigorous melodies.
What began as a summer experiment blossomed into lasting friendship and something far greater. Today, Li and Pierre co-teach virtual music classes, connecting students in Chengdu and Lyon through weekly “global jam sessions.” Their students cooperate on pieces that mix erhu with guitar or Peking opera with jazz. Li often tells her pupils, “Music has no borders; it’s a language that turns differences into harmonies.” When traditions meet with open hearts, they don’t conflict; they compose something entirely new.
4. Why did Li Mei bring her erhu to Paris?
A. To share Chinese music culture.
B. To give it to her friend as a present.
C. To display it at a local studio.
D. To teach students full - time.
5. What caused the first cooperation of Li Mei and Pierre?
A. Love for Chinese music.
B. Desire to teach music.
C. Celebration opportunity.
D. Mutual music inspiration.
6. Why was “Silk Road Echoes” well received by the audience?
A. It reflected the beauty of nature.
B. It featured traditional Chinese folk music.
C. It showed instruments perfectly.
D. It bridged different civilizations musically.
7. What does the story mainly convey?
A. Music is the source of lasting friendship.
B. Mastering an instrument requires practice.
C. Traditional music resists modern influences.
D. Cooperation across cultures generates innovation.

A garden constructed with “humble” clay fashioned into 3D - printed bricks has claimed the first green medal at the Chelsea Flower Show for being the most environmentally sustainable design.
The Chelsea Flower Show, a celebrated global event held annually at Chelsea, London, has been a foundation of the gardening calendar since 1913. It began as a way to show the latest trends in gardening and plant varieties. The Environmental Innovation Award is the first of its sort and goes along with the gold, silver and bronze medals awarded to the most attractive and interesting gardens.
Giulio Giorgi, a first-time Chelsea designer, stated he created the green-medal-winning garden with no concrete. Most gardens contain concrete in some form and the materials they are built from often generate the highest carbon footprint.
While the employment of pollinator - friendly plants, wild areas and sensible use of water are well - known easy ways to make a garden more sustainable, Giorgi said it was crucial to focus on the building materials as their carbon footprint was often overlooked.
“We typically use a lot of metal, cement (水泥) and then all the energy we have to put in to build the gardens. The material in our garden is low-temperature-fired clay, a resource that can be found pretty much everywhere. We made this clay into 3D-printed bricks, connecting ancient tradition with novel practices so carbon emissions are the lowest possible, if any. The bricks keep water like a sponge and release it when drought strikes plants,” said Giorgi.
Judges considered end-of-life plans for the gardens and whether materials could be reused. The 3D-printed nature of Giorgi's garden means it can easily be taken apart and put together again. As a result, when it is relocated to RHS Garden Wisley, where it will live on after the show as an educational facility, the carbon emissions will be low as no materials will be wasted.
8. What do we know about the Chelsea Flower Show?
A. It values sustainability and appeal.
B. It aimed to encourage outdoor fitness.
C. It prohibits concrete in competing gardens.
D. It has a tradition of advocating for greenness.
9. What advantage does clay have over other building materials according to Giorgi?
A. It catches fire less easily.
B It's more durable and absorbent.
C. It takes less labor to produce.
D. It's eco - friendly and more available.
10. What will become of Giorgi's garden after the show?
A. It'll be sold publicly.
B. It'll serve as an urban landmark.
C. It'll be turned into a school.
D. It'll come into play in another spot.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Clay Bricks: Recyclable Building Material
B. Chelsea Flower Show: Celebration of Gardening
C. Garden with Clay Bricks: Winner of Green Medal
D. Giulio Giorgi: Designer Enthusiastic about High - Tech

Last weekend, Bruce Springsteen performed at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, which is about an hour’s drive from where I live. I’ve been a big fan of his music for ages, but I’ve never had the chance to see him live in concert. There were still tickets available, and yet I held back. I didn’t want to go there alone. I’m an independent woman who’s been living alone since I graduated from college. I really enjoy my solo (单独的) time and need it to recharge after demanding work. I love hanging out with small groups of friends and seeing my brother and his family, but I hesitate when leisure time involves large crowds, such as concerts or even movies. I don’t have social anxiety, so I often wonder why I hesitate when it comes to going somewhere alone.
A previous study stated that people hesitate about doing things by themselves because they’re afraid of how they’ll be perceived. The good news is that no one is going to notice that. The reason is the “spotlight effect”, which has been tested and proven through the use of bright yellow T-shirts. Students were forced to wear these bright shirts to class and were asked how many students they thought would notice them. The subjects thought, on average, about 50% of the class would notice them. In reality, fewer than 20% of the students noticed the shirts.
I believe that some activities, such as listening to one’s favorite music at a concert, would be a greater pleasure if it was a shared experience. However, according to some studies, people actually had about as much fun doing fun activities alone as they thought they would be accompanied by friends.
If enjoying the free time we have depends on finding others to join us, we’ll go from having serious FOMO (Fear of missing out) to absolutely MO as people work more hours and have less free time these days. So if I had another chance to go to Bruce’s concert, even alone, I would surely go.
12. Why did the author miss Bruce Springsteen’s concert?
A. She desired solo time.
B. The ticket was sold out.
C. She preferred not to attend alone.
D. The stadium was too far from her home.
13. What can we know about the author?
A. She enjoys socializing with familiar people.
B. She suffers from severe social anxiety.
C. She prizes family ties over friendships.
D. She gets bored with her present job.
14. What does “the spotlight effect” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The fear of being judged by others.
B. The fact that bright clothes attract more attention.
C The tendency to focus on what’s happening around us.
D. The belief that we’re being noticed more than we really are.
15. What does the author aim to do in the last paragraph?
A. To express her fondness for Bruce.
B. To explain the busyness of our daily life.
C. To encourage people to do activities alone.
D. To stress the importance of social connections.
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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We’ve all been there before — you’re in conversation, things are getting along nicely. ___16___. At that moment, your mind goes completely blank, you don’t know what to say, and you can sense the other person’s eyes wandering as they look for someone else to talk to. That scenario (场面) is terrible, so here are three tips to make sure that you never run out of things to say in conversation again.
Firstly, when you find yourself in that situation where your mind has gone blank, play “Reminds Me of”. That just means that you look to the environment around you and say, “You know, that reminds me of……” and then fill in the blank. ___17___ And it can also work as a follow-up when someone finishes telling a story, which is how many groups of friends interact all the time.
Second, when you ask questions, keep them open-ended as often as possible. ___18___ So rather than saying, “Oh, you’re from Toronto. Do you like it there?” you might say, “How do you like Toronto? I’m curious to hear more about it.” You should get the other person talking about the things that they like, which is going to open up more conversational topics.
___19___ This is the third tip. If you’re in a new group and conversation dies after initial pleasantries, a great question is, “How do you guys all know one another?” There’s almost always some kind of story that conversation can build from. If you’re only speaking to one person, you can say instead, “So what’s your story?” The great thing about this question is that it is so open-ended that the other person will probably guide you towards new topics, usually responding with something like, “You mean what do I do for work or what do I like to do for fun?” ___20___
A. Ask them about their exciting plans for the future.
B. It is great for opening new conversational topics.
C. Then out of nowhere, the awkward silence occurs.
D. You’d better avoid questions inviting a one-word response.
E. That’s because people don’t like to talk to others different from themselves.
F. For the worst scenario when conversation stops suddenly use saving questions.
G. His or her tone and enthusiasm will tell you the best angle of conversation to continue with.

Before graduation, I asked my adviser for feedback on areas where I could improve. It felt ____21____ to receive high marks for leadership, communication, and my ability to work independently. But when it ____22____ to attention to detail, she gave me an “OK.” As a scientist, that hurt a bit.
At first, I ____23____ with this. But it’s true that focusing on the tiny details isn’t something I ____24____ excel at, or even enjoy as much as my ____25____ do. I knew all this at some level. Still, hearing it from my adviser pushed me to really____26____ my strengths and interest.
So after I finished my Ph.D., I explored different ____27____. Being honest with myself about my strengths and interest ____28____ led me to my job in health care communications. In my current role, I help companies tell their ____29____. I take complex scientific information and turn it into something _____30_____ and engaging that non-scientists can understand.
Looking back, I’m so grateful for that _____31_____ from my adviser, painful though it was, because it set my career on a new _____32_____. I think a lot of us get caught up in what we think we’re supposed to be good at, instead of focusing on what we’re _____33_____. For me, that feedback gave me _____34_____ to step away from the idea that I had to fit into a certain mold (模式) as a scientist.

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。
Kaylie and I had been good friends since Grade 1. Whenever we had a break, we hung out together. And the more time we spent together, the more we realized how amazingly alike we were. We both liked baking extra-creative cookies, we both had awesome (and sometimes annoying) younger siblings, and we both have the same favorite song and even animal — dolphin.
Last summer, we went to the Arts and Crafts Fair in our park. There were so many things to see. We didn’t know where to begin. We had fun walking around the rows and rows of art booths, clothing racks and kick knack tables. I found the best polka-dot hat, but it cost too much. Kaylie fell in love with a yo-yo, but she looked at the price tag, and yup — it cost too much! To tell you the truth, we were starting to get discouraged. Just as we were about to give up on finding anything we could afford, we came to a table with gobs of gorgeous bracelets (手链). “These are so cool,” I said, picking up one with moons and stars. “And look, they’re in my price range!”
“Please try anything on. The beads (珠子) come from Thailand, and I string each bracelet with love. My name is Tex,” the jeweler said with a friendly smile. Then at the same moment, we both saw it! A bracelet with colorful beads shone brightly in the light, including two pink beads in the shape of dolphin, which added a playful touch to the design. It was the only bracelet like it on the table. Reaching for the bracelet together, we asked Tex if he possibly had any more dolphin bracelets just like this. To our disappointment, that was the last one.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Staring at the bracelet, both of us were hesitant.

When we both looked at the two dolphin beads in the bracelet, our eyes lit up.
