Jules Verne is widely regarded as one of the fathers of science fiction. His “ExtraordinaryVoyages (航海)” series transport readers on grand adventures to the far reaches of Earth and beyond. But Verne did more than just tell entertaining stories — he also predicted over 100modern-day inventions and technologies in his writings.
For example, in the 1889 short story In the Year 2889, Verne painted a picture of a highly networked world with global multimedia communications. He described the “phonotelephone” which sent sound and images over great distances. The main character, Fritz Napoleon Smith, is able to easily communicate via this technology with his wife on another continent:
“Mr. Smith was able distinctly to see his wife despite the distance that separated him from her... Mrs. Smith immediately appeared on the telephotic screen, with her features smiling and her eyes moist (潮湿的) with tears.”
Verne’s technically-grounded adventure tales represented a new approach to imagining the future through fiction. Unlike other writers of his day who penned more fanciful or supernatural stories, Verne aimed for realism in his futuristic visions, always basing them on cutting-edge science and his own extensive research. This laid the foundation for the “hard science fiction” of the 20th century and beyond.
Verne is often thought of as a technological optimist, a champion of scientific progress and innovation. But his writings also reveal another perspective. Many of his stories feature a brilliant but mad scientist whose inventions ultimately bring more harm than good. CaptainNemo in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea uses his submarine (潜艇) to violently attack ships. ForVerne human nature determined whether technology would be a force for good or a source of destruction.
The spirit of adventure in Verne’s timeless stories will live on, continuing to inspire generations to push the boundaries of the possible and create the world of tomorrow. That is perhaps the greatest achievement of the extraordinary voyages of Jules Verne.
4. How does Mr. Smith contact his wife in In the Year 2889?
A. By holding an in-person talk. B. By making a long-distance call.
C. By sending a letter back home. D. By having an instant video chat.
5. What is the“hard science fiction” based on?
A. The unrealistic fantasies. B. The fictional technologies.
C. The latest research findings. D. The imagined future worlds.
6. What can we infer about Verne from Captain Nemo’s story?
A. He is disappointed with human nature.
B. He is aware of the danger of technology.
C. He is in favour of scientific development.
D. He is different from the writers of his time.
7. Which of the following best describes Jules Verne according to the text?
A. Strong-willed. B. Fantasy-seeking.
C. Positive-minded. D. Forward-thinking.
C
Self-confidence is trusting in our abilities or qualities. It’s usually seen as a good thing. But is it possible that we might benefit from a little less confidence in our beliefs?
For many years, Dr. Mark Leary, a neuroscientist at Duke University in Durham, N.C. , has studied the role of people’s beliefs in their behavior. He found overconfidence is very common, especially when it comes to what people believe to be true, and can lead us to disastrous decisions. In 1986, NASA believed that the risk of loss for any space flight was roughly 1 in 100,000. It was an overconfident belief and might have led to the explosion of the Challenger. The good news is that there’s a “vaccine (疫苗)” for overconfidence, and that’s what scientists call “intellectual humility”— recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong.
A survey of 144 college students to measure their intellectual humility found that students who saw their thinking could be wrong tended to be more curious and more likely to seek out new knowledge. They ended up knowing more at the end of the day. But does it actually help you beyond that?
To find out more, Dr. Tenelle Porter at Ball State University conducted a series of studies with high school students. She found that students with intellectual humility were much more likely to test themselves to see whether they really understood the material and seek out potential holes in their understanding. When they got test scores, they’d change their study strategics to improve their performance and master the material for the next test.
Students who didn’t see their knowledge could be wrong might instead just sail through their studying and wouldn’t stop to ask themselves if they truly understood what they read, heard, or did. Such students thought they got a subject down pat, but when asked to explain it on a test, they found they didn’t actually understand as much as they had thought.
Although it might be good for you, researchers recognize that questioning your beliefs can be truly hard. Still, it’s important to remember that questioning beliefs isn’t always about replacing old ones with new ones. If you find it hard to question a belief, try taking “baby steps.”
8. Why does the author mention the explosion of the Challenger?
A. To express his sorrow for the loss.
B. To stress the high risk of space flights.
C. To show the result of wrong operation.
D. To give an example of overconfidence.
9 What do we know about intellectual humility according to Porter’s research?
A It urged students to gain recognition.
B. It encouraged students to take exams.
C. It helped students to adjust learning methods.
D. It motivated students to memorize knowledge.
10. What do the underlined words “got a subject down pat” mean in paragraph 5?
A. Fully mastered a subject. B. Put great effort into a subject
C. Really enjoyed a subject. D. Benefited a lot from a subject.
11. What will probably be discussed in the following paragraphs?
A. Why questioning our belief is hard.
B. Why intellectual humility is helpful.
C. How to become a confident person.
D. How to practice intellectual humility.
D
The ability to detect a nearby presence without seeing or touching it may sound fantastical — but it’s a real ability that some creatures have. A family of African fish known as Mormyrids are weakly electric, and have special organs that can locate a nearby target, even when it’s hiding in the mud. Scientists have now developed an artificial sensor system modelled on the ability of these fish.
“We developed a new strategy for 3D motion positioning by electronic skin, bio-inspired by ‘electric fish’,” says Dr. Xinge Yu, an associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the City University of Hong Kong. The team described their e-skin sensor in a paper published on November 14 in Nature.
The artificial sensor is multi-layered. One layer acts as a transmitter (发射器), which will generate an electric field once activated, and another layer acts as a receiver to detect both the direction and the distance to an object. A separate controller creates the driving signal to activate the transmitter. When an object comes within range, the electric field around the sensor is disrupted (扰乱), which in turn can be detected by the receiver. This data is then processed by a microcontroller unit, which computes the position of the target object and sends that information to a smartphone or other devices.
A special biogel (生物凝胶) is used in the sensor, which has the ability to transmit and receive electric signals from a pattern of microchannels on the surface. The end result is a sensor that is thin, soft and flexible, making it cosy to adapt to irregular surfaces, such as the human body. In contrast to the traditional sensor system that needs a large number of sensors to achieve spatial positioning, the new system can locate an object precisely in 3D space using just a few sensors. This significantly reduces the power consumption of data collection, transmission, and processing.
The researchers hope that this sensor could one day open up a new range of wearable technologies, including sensors for human-machine interaction and thin, flexible e-skin.
12. The first paragraph aims to show __________.
A. the special ability of African fish
B. the inspiration for a new invention
C. the big challenge of locating objects
D. the reason for developing a sensor
13. What is the correct order of the system’s working procedures?
a. The transmitter creates an electric field.
b. A unit computes the position of the target.
c. The controller sends the activating signal.
d. The receiver detects the change of electric signals.
e. The electric field is disrupted by an approaching object.
A. c-a-e-d-b. B. c-a-d-e-b.
C. a-c-e-d-b. D. a-e-c-d-b.
14. What is an advantage of the new sensor system?
A. Its sensitivity to different stimulations.
B. Its adaptation to environmental changes.
C. Its efficiency in achieving 3D positioning.
D. Its speed in data collection and processing.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Machine Detective “Wears” Flexible E-skin
B. Bio-inspired Sensor “Feels” Without Touching
C. E-Skin Sensor: The Future of Machine Learning
D. Electric Fields: The Frontier of Object Detection
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。
Green roofs have been around for thousands of years, long before modern housing was developed. From the simple grass-covered roofs above caves to the famous Hanging Gardens of Babylon, they remained an important part of architecture. ____16____ They bring enormous environmental benefits and offer solutions to some pressing ecological challenges of our time.
In the design of a green roof, there are key factors that count. The first step is to install (安装) a protective layer over the roof to prevent water damage. ____17____ It’s essential to choose high-quality materials, as once the green roof is completed and the building is in use, replacing the protective layer becomes difficult and expensive.
Next, a drainage (排水) layer, which is often made of pebbles or a special mat, is placed on top. It helps water flow off the roof instead of pooling on it. Then, a growing medium, like soil or other similar materials, is spread over the drainage layer. ____18____
Now it’s time to choose plants for the roof. Some plants have shallow root systems and don’t need much water. ____19____ Sedum and chives are good examples of such plants. They are not only water-efficient but tough and long-lasting.
____20____ It’s important to think about your budget. On average, it costs $25 to $30 per square foot to install a green roof. This doesn’t include the cost of installing or repairing the normal roof underneath. And there is labour cost to cover. If a traditional roof costs $30 per square foot, installing a green roof could easily double that expense.
A. This is where the plants will grow.
B. However, green roofs come at a high cost.
C. Today, green roofs are gaining more attention.
D. These features make them ideal for green roofs.
E. As a result, they led to the popularity of green roofs.
F. Green roof materials can range from grass to solar panels.
G. The layer also stops plant roots growing into the roof structure.

The car turned onto the familiar road that led to Grandma’s farm. “Jude, this summer holiday will be a great chance for you to stay with your grandma,” Dad said as he drove. Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right.
The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing.” Grandma nodded.
I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market.
Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer.
However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent(有能力的)computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.”
I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts(零件)for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century.
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。
Maybe I could be someone who was really competent.

Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in.

Jules Verne is widely regarded as one of the fathers of science fiction. His “ExtraordinaryVoyages (航海)” series transport readers on grand adventures to the far reaches of Earth and beyond. But Verne did more than just tell entertaining stories — he also predicted over 100modern-day inventions and technologies in his writings.
For example, in the 1889 short story In the Year 2889, Verne painted a picture of a highly networked world with global multimedia communications. He described the “phonotelephone” which sent sound and images over great distances. The main character, Fritz Napoleon Smith, is able to easily communicate via this technology with his wife on another continent:
“Mr. Smith was able distinctly to see his wife despite the distance that separated him from her... Mrs. Smith immediately appeared on the telephotic screen, with her features smiling and her eyes moist (潮湿的) with tears.”
Verne’s technically-grounded adventure tales represented a new approach to imagining the future through fiction. Unlike other writers of his day who penned more fanciful or supernatural stories, Verne aimed for realism in his futuristic visions, always basing them on cutting-edge science and his own extensive research. This laid the foundation for the “hard science fiction” of the 20th century and beyond.
Verne is often thought of as a technological optimist, a champion of scientific progress and innovation. But his writings also reveal another perspective. Many of his stories feature a brilliant but mad scientist whose inventions ultimately bring more harm than good. CaptainNemo in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea uses his submarine (潜艇) to violently attack ships. ForVerne human nature determined whether technology would be a force for good or a source of destruction.
The spirit of adventure in Verne’s timeless stories will live on, continuing to inspire generations to push the boundaries of the possible and create the world of tomorrow. That is perhaps the greatest achievement of the extraordinary voyages of Jules Verne.
4. How does Mr. Smith contact his wife in In the Year 2889?
A. By holding an in-person talk. B. By making a long-distance call.
C. By sending a letter back home. D. By having an instant video chat.
5. What is the“hard science fiction” based on?
A. The unrealistic fantasies. B. The fictional technologies.
C. The latest research findings. D. The imagined future worlds.
6. What can we infer about Verne from Captain Nemo’s story?
A. He is disappointed with human nature.
B. He is aware of the danger of technology.
C. He is in favour of scientific development.
D. He is different from the writers of his time.
7. Which of the following best describes Jules Verne according to the text?
A. Strong-willed. B. Fantasy-seeking.
C. Positive-minded. D. Forward-thinking.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. D

Self-confidence is trusting in our abilities or qualities. It’s usually seen as a good thing. But is it possible that we might benefit from a little less confidence in our beliefs?
For many years, Dr. Mark Leary, a neuroscientist at Duke University in Durham, N.C. , has studied the role of people’s beliefs in their behavior. He found overconfidence is very common, especially when it comes to what people believe to be true, and can lead us to disastrous decisions. In 1986, NASA believed that the risk of loss for any space flight was roughly 1 in 100,000. It was an overconfident belief and might have led to the explosion of the Challenger. The good news is that there’s a “vaccine (疫苗)” for overconfidence, and that’s what scientists call “intellectual humility”— recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong.
A survey of 144 college students to measure their intellectual humility found that students who saw their thinking could be wrong tended to be more curious and more likely to seek out new knowledge. They ended up knowing more at the end of the day. But does it actually help you beyond that?
To find out more, Dr. Tenelle Porter at Ball State University conducted a series of studies with high school students. She found that students with intellectual humility were much more likely to test themselves to see whether they really understood the material and seek out potential holes in their understanding. When they got test scores, they’d change their study strategics to improve their performance and master the material for the next test.
Students who didn’t see their knowledge could be wrong might instead just sail through their studying and wouldn’t stop to ask themselves if they truly understood what they read, heard, or did. Such students thought they got a subject down pat, but when asked to explain it on a test, they found they didn’t actually understand as much as they had thought.
Although it might be good for you, researchers recognize that questioning your beliefs can be truly hard. Still, it’s important to remember that questioning beliefs isn’t always about replacing old ones with new ones. If you find it hard to question a belief, try taking “baby steps.”
8. Why does the author mention the explosion of the Challenger?
A. To express his sorrow for the loss.
B. To stress the high risk of space flights.
C. To show the result of wrong operation.
D. To give an example of overconfidence.
9. What do we know about intellectual humility according to Porter’s research?
A. It urged students to gain recognition.
B. It encouraged students to take exams.
C. It helped students to adjust learning methods.
D. It motivated students to memorize knowledge.
10. What do the underlined words “got a subject down pat” mean in paragraph 5?
A. Fully mastered a subject. B. Put great effort into a subject
C. Really enjoyed a subject. D. Benefited a lot from a subject.
11. What will probably be discussed in the following paragraphs?
A. Why questioning our belief is hard.
B. Why intellectual humility is helpful.
C. How to become a confident person.
D. How to practice intellectual humility.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家的研究,通过具体研究案例,来说明智力谦逊如何帮助人们更好地学习和调整学习策略。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第二至第四句“He found overconfidence is very common, especially when it comes to what people believe to be true, and can lead us to disastrous decisions. In 1986, NASA believed that the risk of loss for any space flight was roughly 1 in 100,000. It was an overconfident belief and might have led to the explosion of the Challenger. (他发现过度自信非常普遍,尤其是在人们认为某件事情正确时,这种过度自信可能会导致灾难性的决策。1986年,NASA认为每次太空飞行发生损失的风险大约是1/100,000。这种过度自信的信念可能引发了“挑战者号”的爆炸)”可知,作者先介绍了科学家发现过度自信可能导致严重后果,之后提及1986年这起灾难。由此推知,提及“挑战者号”爆炸是说明过度自信会导致灾难的一个例子。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第二、三句“She found that students with intellectual humility were much more likely to test themselves to see whether they really understood the material and seek out potential holes in their understanding. When they got test scores, they’d change their study strategics to improve their performance and master the material for the next test. (她发现,智力谦逊的学生更有可能去检验自己是否真正理解了学习材料,并寻找自己理解上的漏洞。当他们看到考试成绩时,他们会调整学习策略,以提高学习表现,并掌握好材料为下一次考试做准备)”可知,智力谦逊这种特质会使学生及时反思自己的学习,相应调整学习方法。故选C项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段第二句“Such students thought they got a subject down pat, but when asked to explain it on a test, they found they didn’t actually understand as much as they had thought. (这些学生以为自己对某个科目got down pat,但在考试中被要求解释时,他们发现自己的理解并没有自己想象的那么多)”可知,学生们在考试之前应是对自己比较自信,认为自己对该相关知识十分了解,或已经全会了,但到考场答题时,才发现自己会的不如原本所认为的那么多。由此可知,got a subject down pat应是“对某科目了解很多”或“对某科目完全掌握”之意。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“The good news is that there’s a “vaccine (疫苗)” for overconfidence, and that’s what scientists call “intellectual humility”— recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong. (好消息是,过度自信有一种“疫苗”,科学家称之为“智力谦逊”——即认识到你的信念可能是错误的)”及全文最后一句“If you find it hard to question a belief, try taking “baby steps.” (如果你觉得很难质疑一种信念,可以尝试迈出“一小步”)”可知,最后一句中所说的“question a belief”即前文所说的“recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong”,也就是第二段最后一句引号中所言的“智力谦逊”。全文最后一句又说,“可以尝试迈出‘一小步’”。由此推知,所谓的“一小步”究竟该怎么做,会在下文进行介绍,即如何练习做到“智力谦虚”。故选D项。
D
The ability to detect a nearby presence without seeing or touching it may sound fantastical — but it’s a real ability that some creatures have. A family of African fish known as Mormyrids are weakly electric, and have special organs that can locate a nearby target, even when it’s hiding in the mud. Scientists have now developed an artificial sensor system modelled on the ability of these fish.
“We developed a new strategy for 3D motion positioning by electronic skin, bio-inspired by ‘electric fish’,” says Dr. Xinge Yu, an associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the City University of Hong Kong. The team described their e-skin sensor in a paper published on November 14 in Nature.
The artificial sensor is multi-layered. One layer acts as a transmitter (发射器), which will generate an electric field once activated, and another layer acts as a receiver to detect both the direction and the distance to an object. A separate controller creates the driving signal to activate the transmitter. When an object comes within range, the electric field around the sensor is disrupted (扰乱), which in turn can be detected by the receiver. This data is then processed by a microcontroller unit, which computes the position of the target object and sends that information to a smartphone or other devices.
A special biogel (生物凝胶) is used in the sensor, which has the ability to transmit and receive electric signals from a pattern of microchannels on the surface. The end result is a sensor that is thin, soft and flexible, making it cosy to adapt to irregular surfaces, such as the human body. In contrast to the traditional sensor system that needs a large number of sensors to achieve spatial positioning, the new system can locate an object precisely in 3D space using just a few sensors. This significantly reduces the power consumption of data collection, transmission, and processing.
The researchers hope that this sensor could one day open up a new range of wearable technologies, including sensors for human-machine interaction and thin, flexible e-skin.
12. The first paragraph aims to show __________.
A. the special ability of African fish
B. the inspiration for a new invention
C. the big challenge of locating objects
D. the reason for developing a sensor
13. What is the correct order of the system’s working procedures?
a. The transmitter creates an electric field.
b. A unit computes the position of the target.
c. The controller sends the activating signal.
d. The receiver detects the change of electric signals.
e. The electric field is disrupted by an approaching object.
A. c-a-e-d-b. B. c-a-d-e-b.
C. a-c-e-d-b. D. a-e-c-d-b.
14. What is an advantage of the new sensor system?
A. Its sensitivity to different stimulations.
B. Its adaptation to environmental changes.
C. Its efficiency in achieving 3D positioning.
D. Its speed in data collection and processing.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Machine Detective “Wears” Flexible E-skin
B. Bio-inspired Sensor “Feels” Without Touching
C. E-Skin Sensor: The Future of Machine Learning
D. Electric Fields: The Frontier of Object Detection

When an object comes within range, the electric field around the sensor is disrupted (扰乱), which in turn can be detected by the receiver. This data is then processed by a microcontroller unit, which computes the position of the target object and sends that information to a smartphone or other devices. (人工传感器是多层的。一层充当发射器,一旦激活就会产生电场,另一层充当接收器,检测物体的方向和距离。一个单独的控制器产生驱动信号来激活发射器。当物体进入范围内时,传感器周围的电场会被扰乱,这反过来又可以被接收器检测到。然后,微控制器单元处理这些数据,计算目标物体的位置,并将该信息发送到智能手机或其他设备)”可知,工作过程是控制器发送激活信号,发射器产生电场,电场被接近的物体扰乱,接收器检测电信号的变化,一个微控制器单元计算目标的位置,结合选项可知,系统工作程序的正确顺序是“c-a-e-d-b”。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。
Green roofs have been around for thousands of years, long before modern housing was developed. From the simple grass-covered roofs above caves to the famous Hanging Gardens of Babylon, they remained an important part of architecture. ____16____ They bring enormous environmental benefits and offer solutions to some pressing ecological challenges of our time.
In the design of a green roof, there are key factors that count. The first step is to install (安装) a protective layer over the roof to prevent water damage. ____17____ It’s essential to choose high-quality materials, as once the green roof is completed and the building is in use, replacing the protective layer becomes difficult and expensive.
Next, a drainage (排水) layer, which is often made of pebbles or a special mat, is placed on top. It helps water flow off the roof instead of pooling on it. Then, a growing medium, like soil or other similar materials, is spread over the drainage layer. ____18____
Now it’s time to choose plants for the roof. Some plants have shallow root systems and don’t need much water. ____19____ Sedum and chives are good examples of such plants. They are not only water-efficient but tough and long-lasting.
____20____ It’s important to think about your budget. On average, it costs $25 to $30 per square foot to install a green roof. This doesn’t include the cost of installing or repairing the normal roof underneath. And there is labour cost to cover. If a traditional roof costs $30 per square foot, installing a green roof could easily double that expense.
A. This is where the plants will grow.
B. However, green roofs come at a high cost.
C. Today, green roofs are gaining more attention.
D. These features make them ideal for green roofs.
E. As a result, they led to the popularity of green roofs.
F. Green roof materials can range from grass to solar panels.
G. The layer also stops plant roots growing into the roof structure.

【36题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:然而,真正引人注目的是领奖台上的一个感人时刻。分析句子可知,句子为主语从句,空格处单词引导从句,从句中缺少主语,指事物,没有选择范围,故应用“what”引导从句。故填what。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:何冰娇在领奖时,手持西班牙国旗徽章,在网上引起了广泛的好奇。分析句子可知,句中有谓语动词“held”,故空格处应用非谓语动词,“badge”和“feature”为逻辑上的主谓关系,故应用“feature”的现在分词“featuring”作后置定语。故填featuring。
【38题详解】
考查时态。句意:这一姿态是为了表达对她的半决赛对手、西班牙选手卡罗琳娜·马林的尊重和关心,马林因伤退出了比赛。根据句意和句中“was”可知,句子应用一般过去时,表示过去发生的事,故空格处应用“retire”的过去式“retired”;当强调“退出比赛”的动作发生在“表达尊重和关心”之前时,即过去的过去,可用过去完成时,空格处应用“had retired”。故填retired/had retired。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意:何冰娇解释说:“我带来西班牙徽章是因为马林的痛苦让我伤心。我希望她能看到这一刻,并祝愿她早日康复。”分析句子可知,“speedy”为形容词,空格处应用名词,作直接宾语,“recovery”意为“康复”,为可数名词,“a”后接可数名词单数。故填recovery。
【40题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:在半决赛中,马林表现不错,但受伤后被迫停赛。根据句意和句中“performed”可知,句子陈述是过去发生的事,“Marin”和“force”为被动关系,故句子应用一般过去时的被动语态,“Marin”和“was”连用,“force”的过去分词为“forced”,故空格处应填“was forced”。故填was forced。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:何冰娇立刻伸出手来,表示支持并查看马林的情况,马林显然很沮丧。分析句子可知,“upset”为形容词,空格处应用副词,作状语,“visibly”意为“明显地”,副词词性。故填visibly。
【42题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:国际奥委会赞扬何冰娇体现了尊重和友谊的奥林匹克价值观。分析句子可知,句中涉及固定短语“praise sb. for doing sth.”,意为“因为做某事而赞扬某人”,故空格处应用介词“for”。故填for。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:西班牙媒体也强调了这一激动人心的时刻,许多球迷称赞她的体育精神。分析句子可知,“moment”为名词,空格处应用形容词,作定语,“emotional”意为“激动人心的”,形容词词性。故填emotional。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:西班牙传奇篮球运动员保罗·加索尔称之为奥林匹克精神的一次美丽展示。分析句子可知,句中泛指一次美丽展示,故空格处应用不定冠词,表示泛指,“beautiful”音标的第一个音素为辅音音素,故应用不定冠词“a”。故填a。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:何冰娇的行为不仅体现了她对对手的尊重,也反映了奥运会的真正精神——竞争,团结,相互尊重。分析句子可知,句中有谓语动词“reflected”,故空格处应用非谓语动词,“competition”和“pair”为逻辑上的动宾关系,故应用“pair”的过去分词“paired”。故填paired。

第二节 读后续写 (满分20分)
57. 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。
The car turned onto the familiar road that led to Grandma’s farm. “Jude, this summer holiday will be a great chance for you to stay with your grandma,” Dad said as he drove. Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right.
The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing.” Grandma nodded.
I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market.
Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer.
However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent(有能力的)computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.”
I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts(零件)for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century.
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。
Maybe I could be someone who was really competent.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 I could be someone who was really competent. “I can definitely help with that! Where are the parts?” Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts. Rolling up my sleeves, I carefully connected everything. It was a piece of cake to me. “Done!” I announced confidently. After a few adjustments, the internet was up and running. Now it was time to sell the roses. I decided to start from my social media platform. I quickly uploaded photos, added descriptions, and set prices. Before long, notifications started showing up — people were noticing. My abilities made a difference!(96词)
Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. “This is amazing, Jude!” Grandma cheered with joy as she began bustling about, packing flowers. Mr. Jackson chuckled warmly as he handed me another bunch to label. The energy was electric — everyone was on their feet, moving quickly to keep up with the growing orders. The farm felt alive, and so did I. To our surprise, the roses sold out in just half a day. “You’ve brought the farm into the twenty-first century, Jude,” Grandma hugged me tightly. I realized that being competent wasn’t about avoiding mistakes. It was about facing them head-on and making the most of my strengths.(100词)
【解析】
