For over 30 years, Li Liancheng, a 73-year-old deputy (代表) to the National People’s Congress (NPC) and Party chief of Xixinzhuang village in Puyang county in Central China’s Henan province, has been a committed village head, leading Xixinzhuang out of poverty and into a reality where the lives of its residents mirror those of urban citizens.
“In the early days of reform and opening-up, the dream of farmers was to have enough food and clothing. Forty years later, farmers have developed a second dream, which is to provide their children with access to good education. Their third dream is to have access to quality medical care and the fourth dream is to see their village urbanized (城市化) and they can find employment in the neighborhood. For their fifth and sixth dreams, farmers expect to have high-quality public cultural services and have a clean and tidy living environment in the village. They also sought to escape poverty and achieve prosperity, and want to see national territorial sovereignty (领土主权) well safeguarded,” Li told President Xi at a meeting during the session.
The transformation of Xixinzhuang village stands as a proof to the realization of these dreams. The dream of good healthcare facilities has been materialized through the opening ceremony of a community hospital with over 500 beds, providing accessible medical services to tens of thousands of residents in nearby towns and villages. The dream of employment came to life as various food processing enterprises set up plants in Xixinzhuang’s food industrial park, offering employment opportunities at farmers’ doorsteps.
Speaking of all these changes, Li’s face lights up and his wrinkles turn into smiles, saying that the transformation is not just about Puyang or Henan but about all of China.
Looking ahead, Li demonstrates even greater confidence than 30 years ago, backed by the realization of the dreams of farmers and the new dream of technological advancement in rural areas.
When it comes to introducing technology to rural areas, it is crucial to select appropriate course content tailored to the needs of farmers, according to Li. Moreover, choosing competent instructors who can deliver lessons in understandable language is essential, he said, calling for an awful lot of tech experts to empower rural communities with knowledge and skills.
“Accelerating comprehensive rural vitalization and the modernization of agriculture and rural areas is fundamental to comprehensively advance Chinese modernization. It is also the greatest pursuit of farmers,” he said.
4 Why did Li Liancheng mention the farmers’ dreams to President Xi during a meeting?
A. Because he wanted to prove his leadership was appreciated and supported.
B. Because he was trying to provide an achievable way for rural urbanization.
C. Because he intended to clarify that the villagers' desires were hard to satisfy.
D. Because he wanted to confirm that life in Xixinzhuang had greatly improved.
5. According to Li, what are the most important elements in the process of rural technological advancement?
A. agricultural knowledge and funds.
B. confidence and competence.
C. tailored course content and competent instructors.
D. dedication and intelligence.
6. Which of the following words can best describe Li Liancheng?
A. loyal and realistic. B. humble and honest.
C. confident and competent. D. ambitious and cautious.
7. What can be the most suitable title of this passage?
A. Village Head Efforts to Turn Farmers' Dreams into Reality.
B. Farmers’ Dreams Have Changed Greatly over Time.
C. Xixinzhuang, a Model for Rural Development.
D. Modernization and Vitalization of Rural China.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. A
【解析】

【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“The transformation of Xixinzhuang village stands as a proof to the realization of these dreams. (西辛庄村的转变就是这些梦想实现的证明)”可知,李连成向习主席提及农民的梦想是为了证明西辛庄村的生活得到了极大改善。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“When it comes to introducing technology to rural areas, it is crucial to select appropriate course content tailored to the needs of farmers, according to Li. Moreover, choosing competent instructors who can deliver lessons in understandable language is essential, he said, calling for an awful lot of tech experts to empower rural communities with knowledge and skills. (李连成表示,当向农村地区引进技术时,根据农民的需求选择合适的课程内容至关重要。此外,选择能够用通俗易懂的语言授课的合格教师也至关重要,他呼吁大量技术专家为农村社区提供知识和技能)”可知,李连成认为,在农村技术进步的过程中,最重要的因素是量身定制的课程内容和合格的教师。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“For over 30 years, Li Liancheng, a 73-year-old deputy (代表) to the National People’s Congress (NPC) and Party chief of Xixinzhuang village in Puyang county in Central China's Henan province, has been a committed village head, leading Xixinzhuang out of poverty and into a reality where the lives of its residents mirror those of urban citizens. (30多年来,73岁的全国人大代表、河南省濮阳县西辛庄村党支部书记李连成一直致力于带领西辛庄村脱贫致富,让村民过上和城里人一样的生活)”和第五段中“Looking ahead, Li demonstrates even greater confidence than 30 years ago, backed by the realization of the dreams of farmers and the new dream of technological advancement in rural areas. (展望未来,在农民梦想的实现和农村地区技术进步新梦想的支持下,李连成表现出了比30年前更大的信心)”可知,李连成致力于带领村民脱贫致富,并展望农村现代化和乡村振兴的愿景,由此可知,李连成是一个自信且有能力的人。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中“The transformation of Xixinzhuang village stands as a proof to the realization of these dreams. (西辛庄村的转变就是这些梦想实现的证明)”和最后一段“Accelerating comprehensive rural vitalization and the modernization of agriculture and rural areas is fundamental to comprehensively advance Chinese modernization. It is also the greatest pursuit of farmers, ” he said. (“加快推进农业农村现代化、全面推进乡村振兴,是全面推进中国式现代化的基础,也是农民最大的期盼。”他说)”可知,文章主要讲述了李连成作为全国人大代表和西辛庄村党支部书记,30多年来带领村民脱贫致富,实现多个梦想,并展望农村现代化和乡村振兴的愿景,所以A选项“村长努力将农民的梦想变为现实”最符合文章标题。故选A。
C
Wake up early enough and, depending on where you live, you’ll likely hear a pleasant chorus of birds chirping their tiny hearts out. This morning avian (鸟类的) arrangement is instinctual (本能的) behavior for birds, but why?
According to the Woodland Trust, this early singing is known as the dawn chorus, and it can start as early as 4 a.m. and last for several hours. Birds do it to attract mates and warn other birds to avoid their territory. One theory as to why they choose the carly hours to communicate these important messages is because the low visibility makes it hard to do other bird activities, like looking for food. Keeping their activity level low, they opt to sing instead.
Another theory argues that birds use the morning vocals to showcase an image of strength. By singing with enthusiasm, they’re letting other birds know they survived the night-no guarantee in nature-and would make for an excellent mate.
Like a good recording studio, the carly morning hours also allow birds to transmit a clear tune thanks to the cooler, drier air. Because birds have distinctive chirps, that clarity helps them be more easily identified by birds within listening distance.
There used to be a popular theory that birds sang so much in the mornings because the sounds could travel greater distances due to less atmospheric turbulence, but it was disproven by researchers at the University of Western Ontario in 2003. They played recordings of sparrows at dawn and midday. The songs didn’t travel farther, but they were more consistent.
Because birds only have so much energy to belt one out, singing when they stand the best chance of being heard makes sense. For a bird, an early morning session is like having the perfect acoustic (声学的;音响的) environment for their performance.
8. Which of the following might be the reason for birds chirping in the early morning?
A. They signal other birds alike to search for food together.
B. They can more easily fly around in the early morning light.
C. They try to catch their mates’ attention and drive other birds away.
D. They use clear chirping to show a victory over their opponents.
9. What did the researchers at the University of Western Ontario try to show by using recordings of sparrows?
A. The theory that birds’ sounds could travel farther in the early morning was wrong.
B. There exist differences in sound travel distance between sparrows and other birds.
C. Birds’ sounds could be more consistent without much atmospheric turbulence.
D. Early morning provided an ideal acoustic environment for birds’ performance.
10. What does the underlined phrase “belt one out” probably mean in the last paragraph?
A. talk in details. B. dance in grace.
C. sing in a high tune. D. argue violently.
11. Where is this passage probably taken from?
A. An entertainment story. B. A fairy tale.
C. An adventurous experience. D. A scientific research.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了鸟类清晨鸣叫的原因。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Birds do it to attract mates and warn other birds to avoid their territory.(鸟类这样做是为了吸引配偶,并警告其他鸟类避开它们的领地)”可知,鸟类在清晨鸣叫是为了吸引配偶的注意并驱赶其他鸟类。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“There used to be a popular theory that birds sang so much in the mornings because the sounds could travel greater distances due to less atmospheric turbulence, but it was disproven by researchers at the University of Western Ontario in 2003.They played recordings of sparrows at dawn and midday. The songs didn’t travel farther, but they were more consistent.(过去有一个流行的理论,认为鸟类在早晨唱得这么多,是因为由于大气湍流较少,声音可以传播得更远,但这一理论在2003年被西安大略大学的研究人员所推翻,他们在黎明和中午播放麻雀的录音。这些歌曲没有传播得更远,但它们更加一致。)”可知,西安大略大学的研究人员通过使用麻雀的录音试图证明鸟类在清晨声音可以传播得更远的理论是错误的。故选A。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“Because birds only have so much energy(因为鸟类只有这么多的能量)”以及“singing when they stand the best chance of being heard makes sense.(当它们最有可能被听到时唱歌是有道理的)”可知,因为鸟类只有有限的能量来高声鸣唱,所以在它们最有可能被听见的时候唱歌是合理的。“belt one out” 与唱歌有关,表示“高声唱歌”的意思。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第二段“According to the Woodland Trust, this early singing is known as the dawn chorus, and it can start as early as 4 a.m. and last for several hours. Birds do it to attract mates and warn other birds to avoid their territory. One theory as to why they choose the carly hours to communicate these important messages is because the low visibility makes it hard to do other bird activities, like looking for food. Keeping their activity level low, they opt to sing instead.(根据林地信托基金会的介绍,这种清晨的鸣叫被称为黎明合唱,它最早可能在凌晨4点就开始,并持续数小时。鸟类这样做是为了吸引配偶,并警告其他鸟类远离它们的领地。有一种理论认为,它们选择在清晨时分传递这些重要信息,是因为此时能见度低,难以进行其他鸟类活动,比如觅食。为了保持较低的活动水平,它们选择鸣叫)”可知,文章主要围绕鸟类清晨鸣叫的原因展开,介绍了多种相关的理论和研究,属于科学研究范畴,所以这篇文章可能来自一篇科学研究。故选D。
D
Maya civilization once stretched across a vast territory in Mesoamerica, in what is today southern Mexico and Central America. It was home to thriving cities and thousands of people, but over the course of two centuries, major cities would be emptied, with their grand temples abandoned and vivid artworks unfinished.
Interaction with the neighboring Olmec civilization is believed to have stimulated advances in Maya architecture, resulting in the construction of huge ritual complexes surrounded by cities. Among the most important urban centers were Uxmal, Palenque, Chichén Itzá, Tikal, Copán, and Calakmul. Built during the Classic period (A. D. 200-900), the Maya’s soaring pyramid temples and grand buildings — believed by some to be palaces — were richly decorated with sacred art dedicated to the gods.
Scholars have determined that the Maya did not rule as a unified empire. Rather, this was a shared society. Power struggles did occur, but they were fought by rival city-states or local ajaws (阿嘉瓦), or rulers. Numerous inscriptions (铭文) have been found on monuments, but none date to later than the year 800.
Archaeological evidence indicates that in this year, the city suffered a violent attack. The royal family and other members of the nobility were murdered, and their bodies deserted, complete with their emblems (徽记) of power and jadeite jewelry, into three temporary burial spaces.
Such violence was not unusual in the region, but this incident stands out as part of a larger pattern. In the first decades of the ninth century, a political and social crisis affected almost all Maya cities. By the end of the Classic period, Maya sculptors had stopped carving monuments. Scribes had ceased recording their rulers’ deeds, and workers had abruptly stopped construction on palaces and temples. Cities were abandoned. What became known as the Maya collapse was just beginning.
The collapse — a decline that spread from city to city — lasted more than a hundred years. It began in the region known as Petexbatún and crossed the lands near the Usumacinta River. As cities fell like dominoes, the jungle began to claw back land from the Maya civilization. Plant roots and tendrils curled through palaces, temples, and squares.
12. What is believed to have helped promote Maya’s prosperity according to the passage?
A. The decline of neighboring city-states B. The non-stop wars against neighboring states
C. The friendly relationship with Olmec D. The conquer of neighboring city-states
13. What might have caused the beginning of the collapse of the Mayan civilization?
A. an economic decline B. a large-scale attack C. power abuse D. a divided social system
14. Which of the following facts is in agreement with the content of passage?
A. Mexico and northern America used to be the location of Mayan empire.
B. The Mayan civilization reached its peak during the Classic period.
C. The first decades of the eighth century witnessed the decline of Mayan civilization.
D. The collapse of Mayan empire lasted more than two centuries.
15. What is the passage mainly about?
A. the history from prosperity to collapse of Mayan civilization
B. an research into the causes of wars between Maya and neighboring city-states
C. the significant status of Mayan grand artworks in history
D. the causes of a sudden change of Mayan political power
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了玛雅文明的兴衰历程。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Interaction with the neighboring Olmec civilization is believed to have stimulated advances in Maya architecture, resulting in the construction of huge ritual complexes surrounded by cities.(与邻近奥尔梅克文明的交流被认为刺激了玛雅建筑的进步,导致了被城市包围的巨大仪式建筑群的建造。)”可知,与邻近的奥尔梅克文明的交流刺激了玛雅建筑的发展,也就是说二者之间的友好关系促进了玛雅的繁荣。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Archaeological evidence indicates that in this year, the city suffered a violent attack. The royal family and other members of the nobility were murdered, and their bodies deserted, complete with their emblems (徽记) of power and jadeite jewelry, into three temporary burial spaces.(考古证据表明,在这一年,该市遭受了暴力袭击。王室和其他贵族成员被谋杀,他们的尸体连同他们的权力徽章和翡翠珠宝被遗弃在三个临时墓地。)”和第五段的“Such violence was not unusual in the region, but this incident stands out as part of a larger pattern.(这种暴力在该地区并不罕见,但这一事件是更大模式的一部分。)”可知,这种暴力在该地区并不罕见,而且这一事件是该地区更大模式的一部分,可以推出一场大规模的冲突使得玛雅文明开始走向衰落。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Built during the Classic period (A. D. 200-900), the Maya’s soaring pyramid temples and grand buildings — believed by some to be palaces — were richly decorated with sacred art dedicated to the gods.(玛雅人建于古典时期(公元200-900年),高耸的金字塔寺庙和一些人认为是宫殿的宏伟建筑装饰着供奉神灵的神圣艺术。)”和第三段中的“Numerous inscriptions (铭文) have been found on monuments, but none date to later than the year 800.(在纪念碑上发现了许多铭文,但没有一个可以追溯到800年以后。)”可推知,公元800年之前玛雅文明的繁荣是存在的,而公元800年之后就不存在了,也就是玛雅文明的鼎盛时期是古典时期。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。综合文章内容,尤其是第一段“Maya civilization once stretched across a vast territory in Mesoamerica, in what is today southern Mexico and Central America. It was home to thriving cities and thousands of people, but over the course of two centuries, major cities would be emptied, with their grand temples abandoned and vivid artworks unfinished.(玛雅文明曾经横跨中美洲的广阔领土,即今天的墨西哥南部和中美洲地区。这里曾是繁荣的城市和成千上万人口的家园,但在两个世纪的过程中,主要城市逐渐被遗弃,宏伟的寺庙不再使用,生动的艺术作品也未能完成。)”以及下文介绍的玛雅文明的兴衰过程可知,本文主要讲述了玛雅文明从兴盛到衰落的过程,分析了引起这一变迁的历史原因,从社会关系、艺术表现、政治体制等多方面进行阐述。故选A。
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。
The Impact of Social Media on Teenagers’ Mental Health
In today’s digital age, social media has become an inseparable part of teenagers’ lives. ____16____ This essay argues that while social media has certain benefits, its negative impacts on teenagers’ psychological well-being outweigh the positives.
Firstly, social media fosters (助长) a culture of comparison and insecurity. Platforms like Instagram and TikTok are filled with carefully selected images of “perfect” lives, leading many teenagers to feel inferior to them. Studies show that too much exposure to idealized lifestyles can cause anxiety, low self-esteem, and body image issues. For instance, a 2022 survey by the American Psychological Association revealed that 60% of teens feel pressured to meet unrealistic beauty standards online. ____17____
Secondly, social media addiction ruins real-life interactions and sleep patterns. Many teenagers spend hours scrolling through feeds (推文), sacrificing face-to-face communication and physical activities. The dopamine-driven design of apps like Snapchat encourages addictive use, often resulting in loneliness and poor academic performance. ____18____ Lack of sleep, linked to platforms’ “always-on” culture, worsens mood instability and depression among adolescents.
____19____ Parents and schools should educate teenagers about digital awareness, emphasizing critical thinking and time management. Platforms themselves must prioritize user well-being by limiting addictive features and promoting authentic content.
In conclusion, while social media connects people globally, its risks to teenagers’ mental health cannot be ignored. ____20____
A. Furthermore, late-night screen time interferes with sleep, which is crucial for emotional regulation.
B. This constant comparison creates a harmful cycle of self-doubt and emotional distress.
C. While it offers opportunities for connection, its effects on mental health remain a topic of heated debate.
D. To reduce the harms, balanced usage is essential.
E. However, it is important to acknowledge social media’s positive aspects.
F. By fostering awareness and encouraging mindful usage, society can help the young take advantage of technology’s benefits without sacrificing their emotional well-being.
G. Through social media teenagers are expected to be able to enhance their academic performance.
【答案】16. C 17. B 18. A 19. D 20. F
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章探讨了社交媒体对青少年心理健康的影响,指出尽管社交媒体具有连接全球的积极作用,但其引发的攀比文化、成瘾行为等问题对青少年心理健康的负面影响更为显著。
【16题详解】
前文“In today’s digital age, social media has become an inseparable part of teenagers’ lives. (在当今数字时代,社交媒体已成为青少年生活中不可分割的一部分。)”引出话题。后文“This essay argues that while social media has certain benefits, its negative impacts on teenagers’ psychological well-being outweigh the positives. (本文认为尽管社交媒体有一些益处,但其负面影响超过积极影响。) ”表明文章立场。这说明本空处需要一句话能承接上文又过渡到下文。C选项“尽管它提供了连接外界的机会,但对心理健康的影响仍是激烈争论的话题”既肯定了社交媒体的好处,又引出下文,起到过渡作用。故选C。
【17题详解】
前文“For instance, a 2022 survey by the American Psychological Association revealed that 60% of teens feel pressured to meet unrealistic beauty standards online. (例如,美国心理协会2022年的一项调查显示,60%的青少年感到有压力去达到网络上不切实际的美丽标准。)”中明确提到,与网络美丽标准比较,大多数青少年感到了压力。B选项“这种持续比较会引发自我怀疑和情绪困扰的恶性循环”是对比较结果的精准总结,适合放在第二段结尾处进行概括。故选B。
【18题详解】
后文“Lack of sleep, linked to platforms’ “always-on” culture, worsens mood instability and depression among adolescents. (睡眠不足与社交媒体的“永不离线”文化密切相关,会加剧青少年的情绪波动和抑郁倾向。)”提到缺乏缺睡眠产生的结果,表明本空处应先提及引起睡眠缺乏的原因。A选项“此外,深夜屏幕时间干扰对情绪调节至关重要的睡眠”交待了原因,与后文形成因果链条。故选A。
【19题详解】
后文“Parents and schools should educate teenagers about digital awareness, emphasizing critical thinking and time management. Platforms themselves must prioritize user well-being by limiting addictive features and promoting authentic content. (家长和学校应当加强对青少年的数字素养教育,重点培养其批判性思维与时间管理能力。社交媒体平台则需通过限制成瘾性功能、推广真实内容等方式,将用户心理健康置于首位。)”分别从家长和学校、以及平台方两个层面来说明应做些什么来减少社交媒体带来的危害,表明位于本段段首的本空处应填入提出解决方案的总起句。D选项“为减少危害,均衡使用至关重要”能开启对策段落。故选D。
【20题详解】
前文“In conclusion, while social media connects people globally, its risks to teenagers’ mental health cannot be ignored. (综上所述,尽管社交媒体实现了全球互联,但其对青少年心理健康构成的威胁不容忽视。)”提到危害不可忽视,有话未说完之感。本空处设置于全文的最后,表明需填入对全文的总结和延伸。F项“通过提升认知并倡导理性使用,社会可以帮助年轻人在享受科技红利的同时,守护其心理健康”概括了全文,形成闭环。故选F。

For Kuai Zhenghua, a 62-year-old national-level intangible cultural heritage inheritor of Huizhou wood carving, who is based in Huangshan in Anhui province, restoring ancient wood carvings is ____36____ (initial) a game of detective work, and requires experience and imagination.
For example, when he was restoring one piece on ____37____ there were traces of an elephant farming, he knew it was a description of the story of the legendary ruler Shun, who is believed ____38____ (live) over 4,000 years ago.
“It’s a famous story about the cultural importance of filial piety (孝道). I have seen so many carvings about it, and can recognize it at ____39____ glance. In the story, Shun’s display of filial obedience touched heaven and led to elephants ____40____ (farm) for him. The legendary ruler Yao, who is said to be the predecessor of Shun, heard the story and visited Shun to determine ____41____ his character qualified him to take over his throne (王位), before passing the power of ____42____ (leader) to Shun,” says Kuai.
“____43____ there being many missing parts, clues remain. For example, even if the heads of some figures are gone, you can still see their feet and clothing. Men often have bigger feet than women. Farmers don’t wear long robes, but officials do. ____44____ (Woman) costumes often have ribbons.” Kuai continues.
Once he understands a carving’s content, he can restore it. The pieces he has worked on over the last four decades once ______45______ (decorate) the buildings of Huizhou.
“People often say, ‘even if the walls collapse, Huizhou houses will not’, because their wooden structures make use of sunmao joints. That’s why for interior decoration, the wooden beams and window lattices are the primary choices, and that’s where wood carving comes into play,” says Chen.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了徽州木雕国家级非物质文化遗产传承人蒯正华修复木雕的经验和想象。
【36题详解】
考查形容词副词。句意:对于62岁的安徽黄山徽州木雕国家级非物质文化遗产传承人蒯正华来说,修复古代木雕最初是一场侦探游戏,需要经验和想象力。此处用副词在句中作状语,initially意为“开始,最初”。故填initially。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:例如,当他修复一件有大象耕作痕迹的作品时,他知道这是对传说中的统治者舜的故事的描述,人们认为舜生活在4000多年前。此处用which指上文先行词one piece,构成“介词+which”引导的定语从句。故填which。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意参考上题。这里是“sb./sth. be believed to do...”结构,表示“人们认为某人/某物……”,不定式作主语补足语。本句中who指代Shun,和live之间是主动关系,且over 4,000 years ago表示动作已经发生,所以用不定式的完成式。故填to have lived。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:我看过很多关于它的雕刻,一眼就能认出。at a glance意为“一眼”。故填a。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:故事中,舜的孝顺感动了上天,导致大象为他耕种。此处farm为动词,意为“务农,种田”。空处作led to的宾语,用动名词形式,elephants是farm的逻辑主语,二者是主谓关系,所以用动名词的主动形式。故填farming。
【41题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:传说中的统治者尧,据说是舜的前任,听到了这个故事,拜访了舜,以确定在将领导权移交给舜之前,他的品格是否让他适合继承王位。空处引导宾语从句,这里表示确定他的品格是否让他适合继承王位,所以应用whether/if引导。故填whether/if。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意参考上题。空处作of的宾语,应用名词,结合the power可知,这里表示领导权,应用leadership,意为“领导,领导地位”,为不可数名词。故填leadership。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意是:尽管有很多缺失部分,但有线索留下。there being many missing parts和clues remain之间是让步关系,且空后没有谓语成分,所以应用despite,为介词,意为“尽管”,being为动名词。故填Despite。
【44题详解】
考查名词所有格。句意:女人的服装通常有缎带。此处用名词复数表泛指,并用所有格形式,表示“女人的服装”,为所属关系。避免用women作定语,因为men和women作定语主要用于性别区分,不表示所属关系。例如:women teachers表示女教师。故填Women’s。
【45题详解】
考查时态。句意:他在过去四十年里修复的物件曾经装饰过徽州的建筑。空处是本句主句的谓语。根据空前once(曾经)的提示,用一般过去时。故填decorated。

In a small, cozy town, there lived a kind - hearted old man named Mr. Johnson. He had a simple life, spending his days in a small cottage surrounded by a beautiful garden. One sunny morning, while taking a stroll in the local animal shelter, his life took an unexpected turn.
Among the cages filled with various animals, Mr. Johnson's eyes landed on a small, shivering puppy. The puppy had big, sad eyes and a coat that was matted and dirty. Without hesitation, Mr. Johnson decided to adopt the little dog, whom he named Max.
At first, Max was extremely timid. He would cower in the corner of the room whenever there was a loud noise. But Mr. Johnson was patient. He spent hours sitting beside Max, gently stroking his fur and talking to him in a soft voice. Slowly but surely, Max began to trust his new owner.
As the days turned into weeks, Max grew stronger and more energetic. He would follow Mr. Johnson everywhere, whether it was to the garden to tend to the flowers or to the mailbox to pick up the daily mail. One evening, Mr. Johnson fell ill suddenly. He collapsed in the living room, and Max immediately sensed that something was wrong.
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。
Max barked loudly, trying to get the attention of the neighbors.

After a few days, Mr. Johnson's condition started to improve.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
Max barked loudly, trying to get the attention of the neighbors. When no one came, he ran out of the house and into the street. He barked at every passing car, trying to stop one. Finally, a kind-hearted driver noticed the frantic puppy. Max led the driver back to Mr. Johnson’s house, who called an ambulance right away. At the hospital, Mr. Johnson was in a critical condition. Max refused to leave the hospital entrance. He sat there, waiting patiently, day and night. The hospital staff tried to shoo him away, but Max would not leave. His loyalty was unwavering.
After a few days, Mr. Johnson’s condition started to improve. When he was finally permitted to go home, Max was overjoyed. He jumped up and down, licking Mr. Johnson's face. A grin spread across his wrinkles, his hands busy stoking affectionately Max’s thick fur. At this moment, there seemed nothing that could convey Mr. Johnson’s sense of appreciation. Had it not been for the puppy’s timely action, he wouldn’t have survived the horrible situation. From that day on, the bond between Mr. Johnson and Max became even stronger.

For over 30 years, Li Liancheng, a 73-year-old deputy (代表) to the National People’s Congress (NPC) and Party chief of Xixinzhuang village in Puyang county in Central China’s Henan province, has been a committed village head, leading Xixinzhuang out of poverty and into a reality where the lives of its residents mirror those of urban citizens.
“In the early days of reform and opening-up, the dream of farmers was to have enough food and clothing. Forty years later, farmers have developed a second dream, which is to provide their children with access to good education. Their third dream is to have access to quality medical care and the fourth dream is to see their village urbanized (城市化) and they can find employment in the neighborhood. For their fifth and sixth dreams, farmers expect to have high-quality public cultural services and have a clean and tidy living environment in the village. They also sought to escape poverty and achieve prosperity, and want to see national territorial sovereignty (领土主权) well safeguarded,” Li told President Xi at a meeting during the session.
The transformation of Xixinzhuang village stands as a proof to the realization of these dreams. The dream of good healthcare facilities has been materialized through the opening ceremony of a community hospital with over 500 beds, providing accessible medical services to tens of thousands of residents in nearby towns and villages. The dream of employment came to life as various food processing enterprises set up plants in Xixinzhuang’s food industrial park, offering employment opportunities at farmers’ doorsteps.
Speaking of all these changes Li’s face lights up and his wrinkles turn into smiles, saying that the transformation is not just about Puyang or Henan but about all of China.
Looking ahead, Li demonstrates even greater confidence than 30 years ago, backed by the realization of the dreams of farmers and the new dream of technological advancement in rural areas.
When it comes to introducing technology to rural areas, it is crucial to select appropriate course content tailored to the needs of farmers, according to Li. Moreover, choosing competent instructors who can deliver lessons in understandable language is essential, he said, calling for an awful lot of tech experts to empower rural communities with knowledge and skills.
“Accelerating comprehensive rural vitalization and the modernization of agriculture and rural areas is fundamental to comprehensively advance Chinese modernization. It is also the greatest pursuit of farmers,” he said.
4. Why did Li Liancheng mention the farmers’ dreams to President Xi during a meeting?
A. Because he wanted to prove his leadership was appreciated and supported.
B. Because he was trying to provide an achievable way for rural urbanization.
C. Because he intended to clarify that the villagers' desires were hard to satisfy.
D. Because he wanted to confirm that life in Xixinzhuang had greatly improved.
5. According to Li, what are the most important elements in the process of rural technological advancement?
A. agricultural knowledge and funds.
B. confidence and competence.
C. tailored course content and competent instructors.
D. dedication and intelligence.
6. Which of the following words can best describe Li Liancheng?
A. loyal and realistic. B. humble and honest.
C. confident and competent. D. ambitious and cautious.
7. What can be the most suitable title of this passage?
A. Village Head Efforts to Turn Farmers' Dreams into Reality.
B. Farmers’ Dreams Have Changed Greatly over Time.
C. Xixinzhuang, a Model for Rural Development.

Wake up early enough and, depending on where you live, you’ll likely hear a pleasant chorus of birds chirping their tiny hearts out. This morning avian (鸟类的) arrangement is instinctual (本能的) behavior for birds, but why?
According to the Woodland Trust, this early singing is known as the dawn chorus, and it can start as early as 4 a.m. and last for several hours. Birds do it to attract mates and warn other birds to avoid their territory. One theory as to why they choose the carly hours to communicate these important messages is because the low visibility makes it hard to do other bird activities, like looking for food. Keeping their activity level low, they opt to sing instead.
Another theory argues that birds use the morning vocals to showcase an image of strength. By singing with enthusiasm, they’re letting other birds know they survived the night-no guarantee in nature-and would make for an excellent mate.
Like a good recording studio, the carly morning hours also allow birds to transmit a clear tune thanks to the cooler, drier air. Because birds have distinctive chirps, that clarity helps them be more easily identified by birds within listening distance.
There used to be a popular theory that birds sang so much in the mornings because the sounds could travel greater distances due to less atmospheric turbulence, but it was disproven by researchers at the University of Western Ontario in 2003. They played recordings of sparrows at dawn and midday. The songs didn’t travel farther, but they were more consistent.
Because birds only have so much energy to belt one out, singing when they stand the best chance of being heard makes sense. For a bird, an early morning session is like having the perfect acoustic (声学的;音响的) environment for their performance.
8. Which of the following might be the reason for birds chirping in the early morning?
A. They signal other birds alike to search for food together.
B. They can more easily fly around in the early morning light.
C. They try to catch their mates’ attention and drive other birds away.
D. They use clear chirping to show a victory over their opponents.
9. What did the researchers at the University of Western Ontario try to show by using recordings of sparrows?
A. The theory that birds’ sounds could travel farther in the early morning was wrong.
B. There exist differences in sound travel distance between sparrows and other birds.
C. Birds’ sounds could be more consistent without much atmospheric turbulence.
D. Early morning provided an ideal acoustic environment for birds’ performance.
10. What does the underlined phrase “belt one out” probably mean in the last paragraph?
A. talk in details. B. dance in grace.
C. sing in a high tune. D. argue violently.
11. Where is this passage probably taken from?
A. An entertainment story. B. A fairy tale.
C. An adventurous experience. D. A scientific research.
D
Maya civilization once stretched across a vast territory in Mesoamerica, in what is today southern Mexico and Central America. It was home to thriving cities and thousands of people, but over the course of two centuries, major cities would be emptied, with their grand temples abandoned and vivid artworks unfinished.
Interaction with the neighboring Olmec civilization is believed to have stimulated advances in Maya architecture, resulting in the construction of huge ritual complexes surrounded by cities. Among the most important urban centers were Uxmal, Palenque, Chichén Itzá, Tikal, Copán, and Calakmul. Built during the Classic period (A. D. 200-900), the Maya’s soaring pyramid temples and grand buildings — believed by some to be palaces — were richly decorated with sacred art dedicated to the gods.
Scholars have determined that the Maya did not rule as a unified empire. Rather, this was a shared society. Power struggles did occur, but they were fought by rival city-states or local ajaws (阿嘉瓦), or rulers. Numerous inscriptions (铭文) have been found on monuments, but none date to later than the year 800.
Archaeological evidence indicates that in this year, the city suffered a violent attack. The royal family and other members of the nobility were murdered, and their bodies deserted, complete with their emblems (徽记) of power and jadeite jewelry, into three temporary burial spaces.
Such violence was not unusual in the region, but this incident stands out as part of a larger pattern. In the first decades of the ninth century, a political and social crisis affected almost all Maya cities. By the end of the Classic period, Maya sculptors had stopped carving monuments. Scribes had ceased recording their rulers’ deeds, and workers had abruptly stopped construction on palaces and temples. Cities were abandoned. What became known as the Maya collapse was just beginning.
The collapse — a decline that spread from city to city — lasted more than a hundred years. It began in the region known as Petexbatún and crossed the lands near the Usumacinta River. As cities fell like dominoes, the jungle began to claw back land from the Maya civilization. Plant roots and tendrils curled through palaces, temples, and squares.
12. What is believed to have helped promote Maya’s prosperity according to the passage?
A. The decline of neighboring city-states B. The non-stop wars against neighboring states
C. The friendly relationship with Olmec D. The conquer of neighboring city-states
13. What might have caused the beginning of the collapse of the Mayan civilization?
A. an economic decline B. a large-scale attack C. power abuse D. a divided social system
14. Which of the following facts is in agreement with the content of passage?
A. Mexico and northern America used to be the location of Mayan empire.
B. The Mayan civilization reached its peak during the Classic period.
C The first decades of the eighth century witnessed the decline of Mayan civilization.
D. The collapse of Mayan empire lasted more than two centuries.
15. What is the passage mainly about?
A. the history from prosperity to collapse of Mayan civilization
B an research into the causes of wars between Maya and neighboring city-states
C. the significant status of Mayan grand artworks in history
D. the causes of a sudden change of Mayan political power

The Impact of Social Media on Teenagers’ Mental Health
In today’s digital age, social media has become an inseparable part of teenagers’ lives. ____16____ This essay argues that while social media has certain benefits, its negative impacts on teenagers’ psychological well-being outweigh the positives.
Firstly, social media fosters (助长) a culture of comparison and insecurity. Platforms like Instagram and TikTok are filled with carefully selected images of “perfect” lives, leading many teenagers to feel inferior to them. Studies show that too much exposure to idealized lifestyles can cause anxiety, low self-esteem, and body image issues. For instance, a 2022 survey by the American Psychological Association revealed that 60% of teens feel pressured to meet unrealistic beauty standards online. ____17____
Secondly, social media addiction ruins real-life interactions and sleep patterns. Many teenagers spend hours scrolling through feeds (推文), sacrificing face-to-face communication and physical activities. The dopamine-driven design of apps like Snapchat encourages addictive use, often resulting in loneliness and poor academic performance. ____18____ Lack of sleep, linked to platforms’ “always-on” culture, worsens mood instability and depression among adolescents.
____19____ Parents and schools should educate teenagers about digital awareness, emphasizing critical thinking and time management. Platforms themselves must prioritize user well-being by limiting addictive features and promoting authentic content.
In conclusion, while social media connects people globally, its risks to teenagers’ mental health cannot be ignored. ____20____
A. Furthermore, late-night screen time interferes with sleep, which is crucial for emotional regulation.
B. This constant comparison creates a harmful cycle of self-doubt and emotional distress.
C. While it offers opportunities for connection, its effects on mental health remain a topic of heated debate.
D. To reduce the harms, balanced usage is essential.
E. However, it is important to acknowledge social media’s positive aspects.
F. By fostering awareness and encouraging mindful usage, society can help the young take advantage of technology’s benefits without sacrificing their emotional well-being.
G. Through social media teenagers are expected to be able to enhance their academic performance.

For Kuai Zhenghua, a 62-year-old national-level intangible cultural heritage inheritor of Huizhou wood carving, who is based in Huangshan in Anhui province, restoring ancient wood carvings is ____36____ (initial) a game of detective work, and requires experience and imagination.
For example, when he was restoring one piece on ____37____ there were traces of an elephant farming, he knew it was a description of the story of the legendary ruler Shun, who is believed ____38____ (live) over 4,000 years ago.
“It’s a famous story about the cultural importance of filial piety (孝道). I have seen so many carvings about it, and can recognize it at ____39____ glance.

In a small, cozy town, there lived a kind - hearted old man named Mr. Johnson. He had a simple life, spending his days in a small cottage surrounded by a beautiful garden. One sunny morning, while taking a stroll in the local animal shelter, his life took an unexpected turn.
Among the cages filled with various animals, Mr. Johnson's eyes landed on a small, shivering puppy. The puppy had big, sad eyes and a coat that was matted and dirty. Without hesitation, Mr. Johnson decided to adopt the little dog, whom he named Max.
At first, Max was extremely timid. He would cower in the corner of the room whenever there was a loud noise. But Mr. Johnson was patient. He spent hours sitting beside Max, gently stroking his fur and talking to him in a soft voice. Slowly but surely, Max began to trust his new owner.
As the days turned into weeks, Max grew stronger and more energetic. He would follow Mr. Johnson everywhere, whether it was to the garden to tend to the flowers or to the mailbox to pick up the daily mail. One evening, Mr. Johnson fell ill suddenly.
