(2025高二下·河北保定·开学考试)
Three Most Beautiful Deserts in the World
Deserts are mysterious landscapes that cover nearly one-third of Earth’s surface. These are some of the world’s most beautiful deserts that you can see while traveling.
Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia
Salar de Uyuni is the world’s largest salt desert and a truly mystical place to visit. Tens of thousands of years ago, this region was part of a prehistoric lake. However, these lakes dried up and left behind two new smaller lakes and these expansive salt flats. An estimated 10 billion tons of salt can be found in this desert.
Painted Desert, Arizona, USA
The Painted Desert of Arizona got its name from the vibrant red, orange, blue, and purple colors painted across the landscape. Less than 10 inches of rain fall here each year, and the colors were created by minerals in the clay and sandstone rock. There are lots of great trails to hike through this desert, especially at sunset when the colors are on display.
Pinnacles Desert, Australia
You’ll need to head to the Nambung National Park in Western Australia to experience the Pinnacles Desert for yourself. This desert gets its name from the beautiful spires (尖顶) made of rock that rise from the sand dunes (沙丘). The rock formations here have been weathered so much over time to undeniably stand out among the gentle yellow sand dunes.

(2025高二上·山东济宁·期末)
Even at 80, Mei Jingtian continues to watch over the Great Wall.
Living in a village near the Great Wall, Mei has a deep love for the wall. He still remembers he usually ran and played hide-and-seek with his friends on this impressive structure when he was a child. However, when he returned to the village after working outside for years, he was surprised by the damage to the ancient wall. “Some villagers even took bricks from it to build their houses,” Mei said.
To help protect the wonder, Mei volunteered to walk along the wall each day to check its condition, encouraging other villagers to join him. “Of course, it might be dangerous to hike in the mountains by myself, so I always tap the grassy ground along the way with a wooden stick, scaring wild animals away,” Mei said.
In 2006, as head of the village, Mei helped set up a local volunteer protection group. Realizing the importance of heritage protection, more and more villagers returned the bricks they had taken, and about 80 of them joined as volunteers. To ensure that the volunteers could carry out their duties effectively, Mei arranged for training programs on basic protection and safety measures. Together, they conducted daily check-ups to track the condition of the Great Wall and reported any damages.
Encouraged by her father, Mei’s daughter, followed him and officially became a Great Wall protector in 2019. “When I was a child, my father always told me his stories and talked about the history of the Great Wall,” Mei’s daughter said. “It is also my responsibility to protect the cultural heritage.”
The past ten years have seen Mei’s preservation efforts to the Great Wall. “It is my biggest wish to see heritage well-preserved and open to visits, encouraging more people to join us in protecting the Great Wall,” Mei says.
24. What did Mei often do when he was a child?

(2025高二上·湖南怀化·期末)Hunter-gatherer children in the Congo Basin have often learned how to hunt, identify eatable plants and care for babies by the age of six or seven. This rapid learning is shaped by a unique social environment where cultural knowledge is passed down not just from parents but from a broader community, according to a new Washington State University-led study. The research helps explain how many cultural features have been preserved for thousands of years among hunter-gatherer groups across a wide range of natural environments in Africa.
“We focus on hunter-gatherers because this way of life characterized 99% of human history,” said Barry Hewlett, a professor of anthropology at WSU and lead author of the study. “Our bodies and minds are adapted to this intimate(亲密的), small group living. By examining how children in these societies learn, we intend to uncover the mechanisms that have allowed humans to adapt to diverse environments across the globe.”
For the study, Hewlett and colleagues examine nine different modes of cultural transmission(传递) in hunter-gatherer societies. Their analysis reveals that members related to a child’s extended family have likely played a greater role in transmitting knowledge to children than previously thought. Additionally, the study shows about half of the cultural knowledge hunter-gatherer children and adolescents acquire comes from people they are not related to. This contrasts with previous studies on the topic that have more heavily emphasized the knowledge of parent-to-child transmission.
The broad informal learning network in hunter-gatherer societies is made possible by intimate living conditions. Small camps, usually consisting of 25-35 individuals living in homes a few feet from each other, create an environment where children can observe and interact with a wide range of people. This allows them to learn essential skills, including caring for infants and cooking as well as hunting and gathering.
Moving forward, Hewlett hopes that this research offers a deeper understanding of the nature of social learning in humans and how cultures in general are conserved and change over time.
28. What is the aim of Professor Hewlett’s study?
A. To advocate the intimate group living.
B. To reveal how humans adapted to diversity.
C. To show the importance of parent-child bond.
D. To explore living conditions of hunter-gatherers.
29. What do previous studies lay emphasis on about children’s knowledge?
A. Knowledge from their parents. B. Knowledge from community members.
C. Knowledge from hands-on practice. D. Knowledge from children’s distant relatives.
30. Which of the following best describes the atmosphere of hunter-gatherer society communities?
A. Cold and tense. B. Lively and energetic.
C. Calm and relaxed. D. Close and interactive.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. What shaped human diversity? B. What led to cultural transmission?
C. How hunter-gatherer societies developed? D. How children learned for 99% of human history?

(2025高二上·河南南阳·阶段练习)The Mars explorer, Curiosity, recently arrived at an area called the Gediz Vallis Channel. Researchers said the area was chosen because evidence suggested that it once held large amounts of liquid water. The term “channel” describes a natural bed that carries water.
Curiosity arrived on Mars in 2012 and began exploring areas around the planet’s huge Gale Hole. Mars is a cold, dry desert today. But the Gale Hole area is believed to have contained a lake once and has shown other evidence of flowing water in the past.
A large shooting star strike about 3.7 billion years ago is believed to have formed the hole. At the time, scientists believe groundwater filled Gale Hole while additional water flowed in from rivers fed by rain or snow. This is thought to have formed Gale Hole’s large lake.
Curiosity will be searching for evidence of ancient water in areas around Gediz Vallis Channel, with studies centered on how the channel formed. Scientists say they do not think wind formed it because the sides of it are too high. From space, the channel looks like an ancient riverbed. Later, the channel was filled with large rocks and other forms of remains.
Curiosity’s new exploring activities can provide scientists with a new way to study how the presence of both water and the chemical materials required for life changed over time. The first formations to be examined contain sulfates, which are salty minerals often deposited when liquid water changes into gas and goes into the atmosphere.
Movements of water and minerals can also produce a material called sediment(沉积物), materials that settle on the bottom of bodies of water over time. Examinations of these sediments can provide additional evidence of past water and possible life. Materials collected by Curiosity are expected to be returned to Earth in the near future.
32. What can he learned about the Gediz Vallis Channel?
A. It was an area suitable to live in. B. It is easy for Curiosity to reach.
C. It might hold water at one time. D. It was the source of all liquid water on Mars.
33. How was Gale Hole formed probably?
A. By serious landslides. B. By a huge volcano eruption.
C. By strong geological movements. D. By the knock of a space object.
34. Which has the closest meaning lo the underlined word “deposited” in paragraph 5?
A. Worn away. B. Left behind. C. Broken up. D. Dug out.
35. What does the author intend to tell us about in the last paragraph!
A. Another sign that water once existed. B. The importance of doing further research.
C. Another region on Mars to explore. D. Plans for Mars exploration in the future.

(2025高二下·广东深圳·开学考试)The history of fireworks began around the first century BC, when the Chinese invented gunpowder(火药). 36 They used crackers(爆竹) to scare off bad spirits and express good wishes. Early Chinese fireworks were generally firecrackers, designed to make a loud sound.
Marco Polo is generally believed to bring gunpowder to Europe. As a result, some Europeans attempted to copy the ways of making gunpowder in order to make their own fireworks. 37 It developed aerial shells(礼花弹) which could be forced up high before exploding. This invention further pushed fireworks’ development, making fireworks displays more attractive.
With the development of aerial shells, the history of fireworks took off. Producers began trying to make greater and more complex fireworks which would explode into colorful designs. 38 Besides, they featured special colors, designs, and shapes which were meant to attract viewers, a far cry from the crackers of the 10th century.
39 In the 20th century, fireworks producers began to be concerned about them. They began to notice that many of the chemicals which create the beautiful colors associated with fireworks displays are quite harmful, and that fireworks also produce a lot of bad smoke. As a result, some fireworks producers began trying to produce the fireworks which would cause less smoke.
While the history of fireworks has come quite a way from spirit-frightening crackers, fireworks displays continue to amaze people all over the world, and the bright colors of fireworks are closely associated with major celebrations in the eyes of many people. Fireworks displays are typically well-attended as a result. And companies which specialize in fireworks can charge high prices for their services, especially on major holidays. 40
A. Fireworks also have negative side effects.
B. Fireworks displays began lasting much longer.
C. There were other three great inventions in ancient China.
D. Italy made a special contribution to the history of fireworks.
E. In spite of this, there are still many customers for the fireworks.
F. Thus in Italy and Germany, several producers of fireworks appeared.
G. By the 10th century AD, the Chinese had produced fireworks for New Year.

(2025高二上·江西·阶段练习)Eric, my husband, and I are enthusiastic hikers. We are attracted by the challenge and beauty of mountain trails(小路), especially those that lead to sites of historical and cultural significance. Our love for hiking began shortly after we were married, and it has been a passion of ours for many years.
Last month, we visited a national park with the intention of hiking to a location known for its stone text. After many difficulties, we found only one site within the park was open to visitors. To enjoy the stone text in the mountains, we needed to finish a 2.5-mile path, which started from the museum of the park. 2.5 miles didn’t sound like a very long hike. We were both just in our seventies but fairly fit, and we thought we could easily do 2.5 miles. However, the worker in the museum warned us that the first mile of the path was steep(陡峭的) and rocky and that it could be very challenging. But we ignored her warning and made up our minds to go.
“2.5 miles is not a big deal. Surely, we could do it if we wear proper boots and start early tomorrow morning,” I whispered to my husband lightheartedly.
The next morning, my husband and I got up early. Before starting our hike, we first reached a place that served breakfast. There, we found a family of three, a young man named Walter, his wife and sister. They would also take the path to watch the stone text. They were warm and friendly and we chatted happily for a while. Before they set off, Walter said that he would see us at the stairs, and we thought no more about it. Twenty minutes later, we also started hiking.
The trail started well and it was pretty much downhill all the way. Then it became more and more challenging. The path became extremely steep and was blocked here and there by huge slippery(湿滑的) rocks, which made each step forward an adventure.
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 we pushed on, the hike became even tougher._______________________________________________

【原文】
W: One afternoon, I received a message from a market research firm conducting a survey about travel habits. They were curious to find out how Europeans differed from other travelers in their vacation preferences. They found people from different countries don’t always share the same travel tastes. Our cultural backgrounds can greatly influence our holiday choices.
For instance, Europeans often rank highly in terms of the frequency of travel. German tourists frequently mention that their dream holiday involves exploring nature and attending cultural events. However, the study revealed that a significant number of German travelers actually spend their holidays in urban settings. Regardless of their destination, though, they value their spare time highly. Italians, on the other hand, are known for their love of food and wine, often seeking out cooking experiences as a central part of their travels. British travelers often plan their vacations with a focus on visiting historical sites and participating in outdoor activities. Why? The British often have a deep appreciation for history and the great outdoors. As a result, they tend to prioritize these experiences when they travel.

(2025高二下·河北保定·开学考试)
Three Most Beautiful Deserts in the World
Deserts are mysterious landscapes that cover nearly one-third of Earth’s surface. These are some of the world’s most beautiful deserts that you can see while traveling.
Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia
Salar de Uyuni is the world’s largest salt desert and a truly mystical place to visit. Tens of thousands of years ago, this region was part of a prehistoric lake. However, these lakes dried up and left behind two new smaller lakes and these expansive salt flats. An estimated 10 billion tons of salt can be found in this desert.
Painted Desert, Arizona, USA
The Painted Desert of Arizona got its name from the vibrant red, orange, blue, and purple colors painted across the landscape. Less than 10 inches of rain fall here each year, and the colors were created by minerals in the clay and sandstone rock. There are lots of great trails to hike through this desert, especially at sunset when the colors are on display.
Pinnacles Desert, Australia
You’ll need to head to the Nambung National Park in Western Australia to experience the Pinnacles Desert for yourself. This desert gets its name from the beautiful spires (尖顶) made of rock that rise from the sand dunes (沙丘). The rock formations here have been weathered so much over time to undeniably stand out among the gentle yellow sand dunes.

Even at 80, Mei Jingtian continues to watch over the Great Wall.
Living in a village near the Great Wall, Mei has a deep love for the wall. He still remembers he usually ran and played hide-and-seek with his friends on this impressive structure when he was a child. However, when he returned to the village after working outside for years, he was surprised by the damage to the ancient wall. “Some villagers even took bricks from it to build their houses,” Mei said.
To help protect the wonder, Mei volunteered to walk along the wall each day to check its condition, encouraging other villagers to join him. “Of course, it might be dangerous to hike in the mountains by myself, so I always tap the grassy ground along the way with a wooden stick, scaring wild animals away,” Mei said.
In 2006, as head of the village, Mei helped set up a local volunteer protection group. Realizing the importance of heritage protection, more and more villagers returned the bricks they had taken, and about 80 of them joined as volunteers. To ensure that the volunteers could carry out their duties effectively, Mei arranged for training programs on basic protection and safety measures. Together, they conducted daily check-ups to track the condition of the Great Wall and reported any damages.

(2025高二上·湖南怀化·期末)Hunter-gatherer children in the Congo Basin have often learned how to hunt, identify eatable plants and care for babies by the age of six or seven. This rapid learning is shaped by a unique social environment where cultural knowledge is passed down not just from parents but from a broader community, according to a new Washington State University-led study. The research helps explain how many cultural features have been preserved for thousands of years among hunter-gatherer groups across a wide range of natural environments in Africa.
“We focus on hunter-gatherers because this way of life characterized 99% of human history,” said Barry Hewlett, a professor of anthropology at WSU and lead author of the study. “Our bodies and minds are adapted to this intimate(亲密的), small group living. By examining how children in these societies learn, we intend to uncover the mechanisms that have allowed humans to adapt to diverse environments across the globe.”
For the study, Hewlett and colleagues examine nine different modes of cultural transmission(传递) in hunter-gatherer societies. Their analysis reveals that members related to a child’s extended family have likely played a greater role in transmitting knowledge to children than previously thought. Additionally, the study shows about half of the cultural knowledge hunter-gatherer children and adolescents acquire comes from people they are not related to. This contrasts with previous studies on the topic that have more heavily emphasized the knowledge of parent-to-child transmission.
The broad informal learning network in hunter-gatherer societies is made possible by intimate living conditions. Small camps, usually consisting of 25-35 individuals living in homes a few feet from each other, create an environment where children can observe and interact with a wide range of people. This allows them to learn essential skills, including caring for infants and cooking as well as hunting and gathering.
Moving forward, Hewlett hopes that this research offers a deeper understanding of the nature of social learning in humans and how cultures in general are conserved and change over time.
28. What is the aim of Professor Hewlett’s study?
A. To advocate the intimate group living.
B. To reveal how humans adapted to diversity.
C. To show the importance of parent-child bond.
D. To explore living conditions of hunter-gatherers.
29. What do previous studies lay emphasis on about children’s knowledge?
A. Knowledge from their parents. B. Knowledge from community members.
C. Knowledge from hands-on practice. D. Knowledge from children’s distant relatives.
30. Which of the following best describes the atmosphere of hunter-gatherer society communities?
A. Cold and tense. B. Lively and energetic.
C. Calm and relaxed. D. Close and interactive.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. What shaped human diversity? B. What led to cultural transmission?
C. How hunter-gatherer societies developed? D. How children learned for 99% of human history?
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. D

(2025高二上·河南南阳·阶段练习)The Mars explorer, Curiosity, recently arrived at an area called the Gediz Vallis Channel. Researchers said the area was chosen because evidence suggested that it once held large amounts of liquid water. The term “channel” describes a natural bed that carries water.
Curiosity arrived on Mars in 2012 and began exploring areas around the planet’s huge Gale Hole. Mars is a cold, dry desert today. But the Gale Hole area is believed to have contained a lake once and has shown other evidence of flowing water in the past.
A large shooting star strike about 3.7 billion years ago is believed to have formed the hole. At the time, scientists believe groundwater filled Gale Hole while additional water flowed in from rivers fed by rain or snow. This is thought to have formed Gale Hole’s large lake.
Curiosity will be searching for evidence of ancient water in areas around Gediz Vallis Channel, with studies centered on how the channel formed. Scientists say they do not think wind formed it because the sides of it are too high. From space, the channel looks like an ancient riverbed. Later, the channel was filled with large rocks and other forms of remains.
Curiosity’s new exploring activities can provide scientists with a new way to study how the presence of both water and the chemical materials required for life changed over time. The first formations to be examined contain sulfates, which are salty minerals often deposited when liquid water changes into gas and goes into the atmosphere.
Movements of water and minerals can also produce a material called sediment(沉积物), materials that settle on the bottom of bodies of water over time. Examinations of these sediments can provide additional evidence of past water and possible life. Materials collected by Curiosity are expected to be returned to Earth in the near future.
32. What can he learned about the Gediz Vallis Channel?
A. It was an area suitable to live in. B. It is easy for Curiosity to reach.
C. It might hold water at one time. D. It was the source of all liquid water on Mars.
33. How was Gale Hole formed probably?
A. By serious landslides. B. By a huge volcano eruption.
C. By strong geological movements. D. By the knock of a space object.
34. Which has the closest meaning lo the underlined word “deposited” in paragraph 5?
A. Worn away. B. Left behind. C. Broken up. D. Dug out.
35. What does the author intend to tell us about in the last paragraph!
A. Another sign that water once existed. B. The importance of doing further research.
C. Another region on Mars to explore. D. Plans for Mars exploration in the future.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. A
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲火星探测器“好奇号”将在Gediz Vallis Channel周围地区寻找曾今这里存在水的证据。
32. 细节理解题。由文章第一段“Researchers said the area was chosen because evidence suggested that it once held large amounts of liquid water.(研究人员表示,之所以选择该地区,是因为有证据表明它曾经拥有大量的液态水。)”可知,Gediz Vallis Channel曾经可能拥有液态水。故选C项。
33. 细节理解题。由文章第三段“A large shooting star strike about 3.7 billion years ago is believed to have formed the hole.(据信,大约37亿年前的一次大流星撞击形成了这个洞。)”可知,Gale Hole可能是由太空物体的撞击形成的。故选D项。
34. 词句猜测题。由文章第五段“The first formations to be examined contain sulfates, which are salty minerals often deposited when liquid water changes into gas and goes into the atmosphere.(首先要检查的地层含有硫酸盐,这是一种含盐矿物,通常是在液态水变成气体并进入大气时而 。)”可推测,这里指水变成气体进入大气层,而剩下的矿物盐被“留下”在地层。所以猜测deposit表“留下,沉淀”的意思。与B项Left behind(留下)意思一致。故选B项。
35. 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Movements of water and minerals can also produce a material called sediment(沉积物), materials that settle on the bottom of bodies of water over time. Examinations of these sediments can provide additional evidence of past water and possible life. Materials collected by Curiosity are expected to be returned to Earth in the near future.(水和矿物质的运动也会产生一种叫做沉积物的物质,这种物质会随着时间的推移沉积在水体底部。对这些沉积物的检查可以为过去的水和可能的生命提供额外的证据。好奇号收集的材料预计将在不久的将来返回地球。)”可知,本段主要讲通过检查沉积物也可证明水时候曾经存在于火星。即对火星是否存在水的另一迹象是通过检查沉积物而得知。故选A项。

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。
(2025高二下·广东深圳·开学考试)The history of fireworks began around the first century BC, when the Chinese invented gunpowder(火药). 36 They used crackers(爆竹) to scare off bad spirits and express good wishes. Early Chinese fireworks were generally firecrackers, designed to make a loud sound.
Marco Polo is generally believed to bring gunpowder to Europe. As a result, some Europeans attempted to copy the ways of making gunpowder in order to make their own fireworks. 37 It developed aerial shells(礼花弹) which could be forced up high before exploding. This invention further pushed fireworks’ development, making fireworks displays more attractive.
With the development of aerial shells, the history of fireworks took off. Producers began trying to make greater and more complex fireworks which would explode into colorful designs. 38 Besides, they featured special colors, designs, and shapes which were meant to attract viewers, a far cry from the crackers of the 10th century.
39 In the 20th century, fireworks producers began to be concerned about them. They began to notice that many of the chemicals which create the beautiful colors associated with fireworks displays are quite harmful, and that fireworks also produce a lot of bad smoke. As a result, some fireworks producers began trying to produce the fireworks which would cause less smoke.
While the history of fireworks has come quite a way from spirit-frightening crackers, fireworks displays continue to amaze people all over the world, and the bright colors of fireworks are closely associated with major celebrations in the eyes of many people. Fireworks displays are typically well-attended as a result. And companies which specialize in fireworks can charge high prices for their services, especially on major holidays. 40
A. Fireworks also have negative side effects.
B. Fireworks displays began lasting much longer.
C. There were other three great inventions in ancient China.
D. Italy made a special contribution to the history of fireworks.
E. In spite of this, there are still many customers for the fireworks.
F. Thus in Italy and Germany, several producers of fireworks appeared.
G. By the 10th century AD, the Chinese had produced fireworks for New Year.

(2025高二上·浙江杭州·期末)Wang Zhenyi is a Qing Dynasty astronomer and one of the greatest female scientists in Chinese history and one of the 56 (great) female scientists in Chinese history. 57 (bear) in 1768, when traditional customs in China prevented girls from 58 (get) a formal education, she was lucky to grow in 59 family of scholars who encouraged her and supported her learning.
In ancient China, lunar eclipses(月食) 60 (consider) to be mysterious, beautiful and something beyond our grasp. Wang was famous 61 creating a model to explain lunar eclipses, which she was especially interested in. She used a lamp, a mirror and a round table 62 (represent) the Sun, the Moon and the Earth. By moving the three objects, she was able to show that a lunar eclipse happened when the Moon passed 63 (direct) behind the Earth and moved into its shadow. Her article “The Explanation of a Lunar Eclipse” is still considered highly accurate for its time.
In 2004, the International Astronomical Union named a crater on Venus after her, to honor the woman beyond time and space. It was 64 people like Wang Zhenyi did 65 increased our curiosity about the universe.
【答案】
56. greatest 57. Born 58. getting 59. a 60. were considered
61. for 62. to represent 63. directly 64. what 65. that
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了清代著名女天文学家王贞仪的生平及其贡献。
56. 考查形容词最高级。句意:王贞仪是清代天文学家,中国历史上最伟大的女科学家之一,也是中国历史上最伟大的女科学家之一。此处考查固定搭配one of+the+形容词最高级+名词复数,表示“最……之一”,所以空处应用great的最高级形式greatest。故填greatest。
57. 考查非谓语动词。句意:她出生于1768年,当时中国的传统习俗不允许女孩接受正规教育,她很幸运地成长在一个鼓励和支持她学习的学者家庭。分析句子结构可知,主句的谓语动词是was,且无连词,空处应用非谓语动词。be born in…“出生于”为固定搭配,空处应用过去分词born作状语。句首字母大写,故填Born。
58. 考查动名词。句意:同上。prevent sb. from doing sth.“阻止某人做某事”,介词from后应用动名词作宾语。故填getting。
59. 考查冠词。句意:同上。此处family为可数名词单数,应用不定冠词表泛指。并且family发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。
60. 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:在中国古代,月食被认为是神秘而美丽的,是我们无法理解的。根据时间状语In ancient China可知,此处描述过去的一般事实,应用一般过去时。动词consider与主语lunar eclipses之间存在被动关系,应用一般过去时的被动语态。主谓一致,故填were considered。
61. 考查固定搭配。句意:王因创建了一个解释月食的模型而闻名,她对月食特别感兴趣。此处考查固定搭配be famous for…“因……而闻名”。故填for。
62. 考查动词不定式。句意:她用一盏灯、一面镜子和一张圆桌来代表太阳、月亮和地球。此处考查固定句型use sth. to do sth.“用某物做某事”,空处应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to represent。
63. 考查副词。句意:通过移动这三个物体,她能够证明,当月球直接从地球背后经过并进入地球的阴影时,月食就会发生。修饰动词passed应用副词。故填directly。
64. 考查主语从句。句意:正是像王贞仪这样的人所做的,增加了我们对宇宙的好奇心。分析句子结构可知,此处是一个强调句,“It is/was+被强调部分+that/who+其他”,此处被强调部分是主语从句“ 64 people like Wang Zhenyi did”,其中缺少did的宾语,应用连词what引导。故填what。
65. 考查强调结构。句意:同上。此处是一个强调句,“It is/was+被强调部分+that/who+其他”,此处被强调部分是主语从句,what people like Wang Zhenyi did,被强调部分指物,空处应用that。故填that。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
(2025高二上·江西·阶段练习)Eric, my husband, and I are enthusiastic hikers. We are attracted by the challenge and beauty of mountain trails(小路), especially those that lead to sites of historical and cultural significance. Our love for hiking began shortly after we were married, and it has been a passion of ours for many years.
Last month, we visited a national park with the intention of hiking to a location known for its stone text. After many difficulties, we found only one site within the park was open to visitors. To enjoy the stone text in the mountains, we needed to finish a 2.5-mile path, which started from the museum of the park. 2.5 miles didn’t sound like a very long hike. We were both just in our seventies but fairly fit, and we thought we could easily do 2.5 miles. However, the worker in the museum warned us that the first mile of the path was steep(陡峭的) and rocky and that it could be very challenging. But we ignored her warning and made up our minds to go.
“2.5 miles is not a big deal. Surely, we could do it if we wear proper boots and start early tomorrow morning,” I whispered to my husband lightheartedly.
The next morning, my husband and I got up early. Before starting our hike, we first reached a place that served breakfast. There, we found a family of three, a young man named Walter, his wife and sister. They would also take the path to watch the stone text. They were warm and friendly and we chatted happily for a while. Before they set off, Walter said that he would see us at the stairs, and we thought no more about it. Twenty minutes later, we also started hiking.
The trail started well and it was pretty much downhill all the way. Then it became more and more challenging. The path became extremely steep and was blocked here and there by huge slippery(湿滑的) rocks, which made each step forward an adventure.
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 we pushed on, the hike became even tougher._______________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When Walter saw us, he rushed to help us._____________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
As we pushed on, the hike became even tougher. The steep portions seemed endless, and each step required every ounce of our strength and concentration. Sweat trickled down our faces, and our legs felt like jelly. We paused frequently to catch our breath and steady ourselves on the uneven ground. In front of us, the jagged rocks and steep inclines tested our limits. Determined to reach the stone text, Eric and I encouraged each other, inching forward slowly but surely.
When Walter saw us, he rushed to help us. Seeing our struggle, he offered his hand to Eric and supported him over a particularly tricky section. “Take it slow, we’ve got this,” Walter smiled reassuringly. With his assistance, we navigated the final stretch of the challenging path. Finally, we stood before the magnificent stone text, filled with a sense of accomplishment and gratitude. The view was breathtaking, and the hike, though arduous, was undoubtedly worth every step.
【语篇解读】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了Eric和作者热爱徒步,尤其喜爱历史文化遗址。上个月,他们在国家公园挑战了一段2.5英里的陡峭山路,尽管艰难,但在友人Walter的帮助下,最终到达目的地,观赏到壮观的石刻,感受成就与感激。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“我们继续前行,徒步变得更加艰难。”可知,第一段可描写Eric和他的妻子面对愈发艰难的山路,如何相互鼓励,共同克服困难的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“当Walter看到我们时,他急忙过来帮助我们。”可知,第二段可描写Walter如何在关键时刻伸出援手,帮助Eric和他的妻子安全地完成了最后的徒步路程。
2.续写线索:开始轻松的徒步——遇到陡峭和湿滑的路段——感到疲惫但仍坚持——Walter出现并提供帮助——成功到达目的地——共同欣赏石刻文本的美景
3.词汇激活

One afternoon, I received a message from a market research firm conducting a survey about travel habits. They were curious to find out how europeans differ from other travelers in their vacation provinces. They found people from different countries don't always share the same travel tastes. Our cultural backgrounds can greatly influence our holiday choices. For instance, europeans often rank highly in terms of the frequency of travel. German tourists frequently mention that their dream holiday involves expLoring nature and attending cultural event. However, the study revealed that a significant number of german travelers actually spend their holidays in urban settings regardless of their destination, though they value their spare time highly. Italians, on the other hand, are known for their love of food, wine, often seeking out cooking experience. As a central part of their travels, british travelers often plan their vacations with a focus on visiting historical sites in participating in outdoor activities, why the british often have a deep appreciation for history and the great outdoors. As a result, they tend to prioritize these experience when they travel. One afternoon, I received a message from a market research firm conducting a survey about travel habits.
