School is still out for the summer, but at Eastern Senior High School in Washington, D.C., students are hard at work outdoors. In a garden filled with flowers and beds bursting with vegetables and herbs, nearly a dozen teenagers are harvesting vegetables for the weekend’s farmers market.
Roshawn Little is going into her junior year at Eastern, and has been working in this garden for three years now. During the summer, Little gets paid to work Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a. m. until 2 p.m. with City Blossoms, a nonprofit that brings community gardens to schools in urban areas. She believes that working in the garden has taught her to try all sorts of new things, like eating different kinds of vegetables more often. And she’s taken those healthy behaviors home with her and her eating habits have encouraged her family to buy more fruits and vegetables.
City Blossoms is one of many groups across the country teaming up with local communities to build school gardens, like the one at Eastern. It works with schools to create learning gardens and trains teachers on how to use them to get students engaged and boost academics. These gardens are really outdoor classrooms. For example, the gardens can be used for math lessons, like calculating the area of a plant bed or learning the science of how plants grow.
For the students, the experience can be a nutritional eye-opener, which has totally changed their perceptions of where food comes from, and what it takes to produce food. Partner schools have also seen a 12 to 15 percent increase in the number of students passing standardized tests and 94 percent of teachers reported seeing increased engagement from their students, according to an independent evaluation conducted by PEER Associates.
4. What does Roshawn Little think of the summer outdoor activity?
A. It is a good way to earn pocket money.
B. It has improved her family relationship.
C. It contributes to her healthy eating habit.
D. It is helpful to her academic performance.
5. What is the purpose of the school gardens?
A. To provide a creative way of learning.
B. To-promote teachers1 teaching skills.
C. To get students interested in science.
D. To invite students to care for plants.
6. What does the last paragraph focus on about the project of City Blossoms?
A. Its strategies. B. Its outcomes. C. Its operations. D. Its participants.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. City Blossoms: Team up with Local Community Teachers
B. Happy Holiday, Sweet memory: How Kids Enjoy the Harvest
C. Outdoor Classrooms: Get out for the Weekend’s Farmers Market
D. Healthy Eaters, Strong Minds: What School Gardens Teach Kids

“A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots (靴子) on,” said Mark Twain. In today’s Internet world of “fake (假的) news,” lies spread even faster and the truth is having trouble finding its boots.
To make matters worse, most young people get news from social media sites where facts are mixed with rumors, half-truths and complete lies. This has led to young people becoming confused. In the latest PISA, which tested 15-year-olds worldwide on academic subjects, fewer than one in ten of the examinees were reported to be able to recognize fact from opinion. A Stanford University study showed that students at all levels of education could not tell real news from fake news. In one instance,80 percent thought that a paid advertisement was a real news story.
Fake news is spread by people who have a prejudice (偏见). They want to influence public opinion either for or against something or someone. It is important, then, for young people to recognize when they are being used and to be doubtful about online information.
Traditional media, such as newspapers and television, are still the more trustworthy sources of information. Reporters are professional trained to look for facts, and editors have the job of making sure those facts are correct. However, if you are getting most of your information online, you have to be your own editor. In that case, the first thing to do is to look at the writer of a post. Is this person known to be objective? Does the site where you read the post have a prejudice? Next, look for other sources from mainstream media to make sure the information. In other words, by putting on your truth boots you won’t be fooled into chasing lies.
8. The author begins the passage with a quote from Mark Twain primarily to ______.
A. introduce the historical context of fake news
B. create a contrast between past and present information spread
C. build trust through a famous figure’s perspective
D. highlight the timeless challenge truth faces against lies
9. What does the writer say about young people with news around?
A. They make fake news and spread it. B. They are easily fooled by fake news.
C. They get worried about their education. D. They can recognize facts from opinions.
10. What can we infer about traditional media from the text?
A. Reporters work less professionally than online writers.
B. They never make mistakes in information.
C. Their reporters and editors ensure the fact is true.
D. They are less popular than social media.
11. According to the writer. what can help us avoid being fooled by fake news?
A. Only look for news through media. B. Become a professional and trained reporter.
C. Compare the news from different sources. D. Focus on the news instead of the opinion.
D
In 2021, scientists studying animal communication discovered that some dogs connect objects with words similarly to babies. Then what about cats, which are commonly believed to be unconcerned about human affairs?
Saho Takagi, a researcher at Azabu University, doubted cats’ seeming unconcern. “Cats don’t appear to listen to people’s conversations, but in fact, they do,” said Takagi. According to previous research, cats understand human communication better than expected. Like dogs, they can use human pointing and stares to find food. They even can tell the difference between human facial expressions and states of attention, according to a 2016 study. However, cats can do more than that.
Another study showed that cats can discriminate their own names from the names of their cat companions (those that live in the same house). The researchers believed that cats learned to connect names with other cats by observing communication between their owners and their cat friends.
In a recently published study, Takagi and her colleagues compared two groups of cats: cats living with at least two other cats and cats living in “cat cafés” with up to 30 cats. Using a simple two-phase (阶段) test, they assessed the cats’ responses to hearing their names and seeing their faces on a monitor. Sometimes, the cat that appeared on the screen matched the name spoken; other times, the name and the image did not match. If cats knew the names of their cat friends, they would investigate by staring doubtfully at the monitor when the name and image did not match. House cats had a significantly longer stare than café cats, indicating that house cats generally expected a specific cat’s face upon hearing the cat’s name.
“This is the first evidence showing that house cats link human words and their social companions through daily experiences,” the researchers wrote. “However, we could not recognize the mechanism (机制) for learning. But with more and more scientists becoming interested in cats, who are much smarter than we assume, this question is sure to be solved.”
12. What’s people’s common understanding of cats?
A. They have their own language. B. They can connect objects with words.
C. They show no interest in human things. D. They can use human instructions to find food.
13. By comparing cats and dogs in Paragraph 2, the author wants to stress ______.
A. cats and dogs are all clever animals
B. cats’ ability to learn is stronger than dogs’
C. cats and dogs can get along well with humans
D. cats’ ability goes beyond recognizing body language
14. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “discriminate” in Paragraph 3?
A. Choose. B. Protect. C. Tell. D. Learn.
15. What is the unsettled question of the study?
A. How cats can recognize other cats’ face.
B. Whether cats are much smarter than expected.
C. Whether cats can understand human communication.
D. How cats link human words and their social companions.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Reading books can exercise your brain. Kids who started reading at an earlier age go on to perform better on certain intelligence tests, such as analyses of their vocabulary size. As one gets older, it might help slow down or even stop cognitive decline (认知下降). ____16____ Many Americans don’t read frequently. It’s time to reverse (逆转) this trend to give your brain gray matter a good workout.
____17____ When you have some down time — you’re waiting for a friend, sleeping lightly on the way from or to work, or doing a task that doesn’t require your full attention — you can open your text instead of pulling up your favorite smartphone game. This brings about a great debate: pages vs screens vs audio. Indeed, paper is still the clear winner in the court of public opinion.____18____
Academic research has mostly focused on the ability to remember. A study took place in a laboratory setting: Students all read the same text but some looked at the words on paper and others viewed an on-screen PDF. It turned out that no meaningful difference between the two media existed. As for audiobooks, they affected the brain gray matter somewhat differently.____19____
Finally, if you hope to get a reading habit going, you shouldn’t dismiss paper, digital, or audio books — ____20____ Don’t be afraid to change things depending on the occasion.
A. Audiobooks still affect your thoughts and feelings.
B. Go with what makes the most sense for your needs.
C. Words on a page can improve the emotional intelligence.
D. But Science hasn’t proven that physical books are better than digital ones.
E. Keep a book, e-reader, or audiobook app on you as you go about the day.
F. Despite this, the overall book-reading time for Amerieans is on the decline.
G. However, they stimulated the brain just as deeply as black-and-white pages.

Father’s Day was in two weeks. I didn’t know what to get Dad. Last year I made him a photo album. This year I wanted to do something different.
At dinner, Dad accidentally dropped his favorite blue tie into his soup bowl. The tie was ruined. I suddenly knew what to get Dad for Father’s Day!
“How much does a tie cost?” I asked Mom the next morning.
“Depends,” she said.“ Some can cost twenty dollars. Do you have enough money. Carter?”
“No, ” I said sadly.
When I got to my room to change into my school clothes I noticed a hole in my shirt.
“Mom, I need you to sew(缝补) my shirt, I said loudly, rushing out the door to the school bus.
At school I picked at the hole in my shirt. I thought about how I could come up with enough money to buy a tie. I took a deep sigh, and played with the hold some more. As the hole grew in size, an idea sprung into my mind.
After coming home from school, I dug through my closet trying to find other worn clothes.
“Mom! "I yelled down the hall heading towards her.
Can I cut these clothes up to make Dad a patchwork(拼缝) tie for Father’s Day?” I pointed out the holes to Mom.
“ I guess,” he said.
“And,” I added, “Can you show me how to sew and make tiny stitches(针脚)?”
“Yes, Carter. Let s start now before Dad gets home.” Mom said, heading for her sewing supplies.
I followed Moms instructions and started making a patchwork tie. I gently pressed my foot on the foot pedal(缝纫机脚踏板) . Suddenly, the needle stopped and the machine made a horrible sound. “No!” I said.
“Try again, Carter, ” Mom instructed.
I took a deep breath and gently applied the pedal again. Unluckily, I failed again.

School is still out for the summer, but at Eastern Senior High School in Washington, D.C., students are hard at work outdoors. In a garden filled with flowers and beds bursting with vegetables and herbs, nearly a dozen teenagers are harvesting vegetables for the weekend’s farmers market.
Roshawn Little is going into her junior year at Eastern, and has been working in this garden for three years now. During the summer, Little gets paid to work Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a. m. until 2 p.m. with City Blossoms, a nonprofit that brings community gardens to schools in urban areas. She believes that working in the garden has taught her to try all sorts of new things, like eating different kinds of vegetables more often. And she’s taken those healthy behaviors home with her and her eating habits have encouraged her family to buy more fruits and vegetables.
City Blossoms is one of many groups across the country teaming up with local communities to build school gardens, like the one at Eastern. It works with schools to create learning gardens and trains teachers on how to use them to get students engaged and boost academics. These gardens are really outdoor classrooms. For example, the gardens can be used for math lessons, like calculating the area of a plant bed or learning the science of how plants grow.
For the students, the experience can be a nutritional eye-opener, which has totally changed their perceptions of where food comes from, and what it takes to produce food. Partner schools have also seen a 12 to 15 percent increase in the number of students passing standardized tests and 94 percent of teachers reported seeing increased engagement from their students, according to an independent evaluation conducted by PEER Associates.

“A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots (靴子) on,” said Mark Twain. In today’s Internet world of “fake (假的) news,” lies spread even faster and the truth is having trouble finding its boots.
To make matters worse, most young people get news from social media sites where facts are mixed with rumors, half-truths and complete lies. This has led to young people becoming confused. In the latest PISA, which tested 15-year-olds worldwide on academic subjects, fewer than one in ten of the examinees were reported to be able to recognize fact from opinion. A Stanford University study showed that students at all levels of education could not tell real news from fake news. In one instance,80 percent thought that a paid advertisement was a real news story.
Fake news is spread by people who have a prejudice (偏见). They want to influence public opinion either for or against something or someone. It is important, then, for young people to recognize when they are being used and to be doubtful about online information.
Traditional media, such as newspapers and television, are still the more trustworthy sources of information. Reporters are professional trained to look for facts, and editors have the job of making sure those facts are correct. However, if you are getting most of your information online, you have to be your own editor. In that case, the first thing to do is to look at the writer of a post. Is this person known to be objective? Does the site where you read the post have a prejudice? Next, look for other sources from mainstream media to make sure the information. In other words, by putting on your truth boots you won’t be fooled into chasing lies.
8. The author begins the passage with a quote from Mark Twain primarily to ______.
A. introduce the historical context of fake news
B. create a contrast between past and present information spread
C. build trust through a famous figure’s perspective
D. highlight the timeless challenge truth faces against lies
9. What does the writer say about young people with news around?
A. They make fake news and spread it. B. They are easily fooled by fake news.
C. They get worried about their education. D. They can recognize facts from opinions.
10. What can we infer about traditional media from the text?
A. Reporters work less professionally than online writers.
B. They never make mistakes in information.
C. Their reporters and editors ensure the fact is true.
D. They are less popular than social media.
11. According to the writer. what can help us avoid being fooled by fake news?
A. Only look for news through media. B. Become a professional and trained reporter.
C. Compare the news from different sources. D. Focus on the news instead of the opinion.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. C
【解析】

推理判断题。根据文章开头引用马克・吐温的话 “A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots on (谎言在真相穿上靴子之前就能传遍半个世界)” 以及后文对假新闻传播快、真相难以跟上的描述,可知引用主要是为了突出真相在对抗谎言时面临的挑战。故选D。

A Stanford University study showed that students at all levels of education could not tell real news from fake news. (更糟糕的是,大多数年轻人从社交媒体网站上获取新闻,这些网站上的事实与谣言、半真半假的事实和完全的谎言混在一起。这导致年轻人变得困惑。最新的国际学生评估项目(PISA)测试了全球15岁的学生的学术科目,据报道,只有不到十分之一的考生能够从观点中识别事实。斯坦福大学的一项研究表明,各级教育的学生都无法分辨真实新闻和假新闻。)” 可知,年轻人容易被假新闻欺骗。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Traditional media, such as newspapers and television, are still the more trustworthy sources of information. Reporters are professional trained to look for facts, and editors have the job of making sure those facts are correct. (传统媒体,如报纸和电视,仍然是更值得信赖的信息来源。记者经过专业训练去寻找事实,编辑的工作是确保这些事实是正确的.)”可知,传统媒体的记者和编辑能确保事实的真实性。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Next, look for other sources from mainstream media to make sure the information. In other words, by putting on your truth boots you won't be fooled into chasing lies. (接下来,从主流媒体寻找其他来源以确保信息的真实性。换句话说,穿上你的真相靴子,你就不会被愚弄去追逐谎言。)” 可知,通过比较不同来源的新闻能帮助我们避免被假新闻愚弄。故选C。

In 2021, scientists studying animal communication discovered that some dogs connect objects with words similarly to babies. Then what about cats, which are commonly believed to be unconcerned about human affairs?
Saho Takagi, a researcher at Azabu University, doubted cats’ seeming unconcern. “Cats don’t appear to listen to people’s conversations, but in fact, they do,” said Takagi. According to previous research, cats understand human communication better than expected. Like dogs, they can use human pointing and stares to find food. They even can tell the difference between human facial expressions and states of attention, according to a 2016 study. However, cats can do more than that.
Another study showed that cats can discriminate their own names from the names of their cat companions (those that live in the same house). The researchers believed that cats learned to connect names with other cats by observing communication between their owners and their cat friends.
In a recently published study, Takagi and her colleagues compared two groups of cats: cats living with at least two other cats and cats living in “cat cafés” with up to 30 cats. Using a simple two-phase (阶段) test, they assessed the cats’ responses to hearing their names and seeing their faces on a monitor. Sometimes, the cat that appeared on the screen matched the name spoken; other times, the name and the image did not match. If cats knew the names of their cat friends, they would investigate by staring doubtfully at the monitor when the name and image did not match. House cats had a significantly longer stare than café cats, indicating that house cats generally expected a specific cat’s face upon hearing the cat’s name.
“This is the first evidence showing that house cats link human words and their social companions through daily experiences,” the researchers wrote. “However, we could not recognize the mechanism (机制) for learning. But with more and more scientists becoming interested in cats, who are much smarter than we assume, this question is sure to be solved.”
12. What’s people’s common understanding of cats?
A. They have their own language. B. They can connect objects with words.
C. They show no interest in human things. D. They can use human instructions to find food.
13. By comparing cats and dogs in Paragraph 2, the author wants to stress ______.
A. cats and dogs are all clever animals
B. cats’ ability to learn is stronger than dogs’
C. cats and dogs can get along well with humans
D. cats’ ability goes beyond recognizing body language
14. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “discriminate” in Paragraph 3?
A. Choose. B. Protect. C. Tell. D. Learn.
15. What is the unsettled question of the study?
A. How cats can recognize other cats’ face.
B. Whether cats are much smarter than expected.
C. Whether cats can understand human communication.
D. How cats link human words and their social companions.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究表明猫不仅可以分辨出人类面部表情和注意力状态之间的区别,还可以区分自己的名字和猫同伴的名字。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Then what about cats, which are commonly believed to be unconcerned about human affairs? (那么通常被认为不关心人类事务的猫呢?)”可知,人们对猫的普遍想法是它们对人类的事情不感兴趣。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“According to previous research, cats understand human communication better than expected. Like dogs, they can use human pointing and stares to find food. They even can tell the difference between human facial expressions and states of attention, according to a 2016 study. However, cats can do more than that. (根据之前的研究,猫比预期的更能理解人类的交流。像狗一样,它们可以使用人类的指向和凝视寻找食物。根据2016年的一项研究,它们甚至可以分辨出人类面部表情和注意力状态之间的区别。然而,猫能做的远不止这些。)”可推知,通过两者之间的比较,作者是想强调猫的能力不仅仅是识别肢体语言。故选D项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句的下文“The researchers believed that cats learned to connect names with other cats by observing communication between their owners and their cat friends. (研究人员认为,猫通过观察它们的主人和它们的猫朋友之间的交流,学会了把名字和其他猫联系起来。)”可知,猫能够把名字和其他猫联系起来,由此可知,画线词所在句表示“猫可以区分自己的名字和同伴的名字”,画线词discriminate意思应该是“区别”,与tell意思相近。故选C项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中研究人员表述的内容“This is the first evidence showing that house cats link human words and their social companions through daily experiences (这是第一个证明家猫通过日常经历将人类语言和它们的社会伙伴联系起来的证据)”和“However, we could not recognize the mechanism (机制) for learning. (然而,我们无法认识到这一学习的机制)”可知,这项研究中尚未解决的问题是猫是如何将人类的话和它们的社会伙伴联系起来的。故选D项。

This brings about a great debate: pages vs screens vs audio. Indeed, paper is still the clear winner in the court of public opinion.____18____
Academic research has mostly focused on the ability to remember.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了阅读的好处,如何利用空闲时间读书以及一些与阅读有关的研究。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Reading books can exercise your brain. Kids who started reading at an earlier age go on to perform better on certain intelligence tests, such as analyses of their vocabulary size. As one gets older, it might help slow down or even cease cognitive decline.(读书可以锻炼你的大脑。更早开始阅读的孩子在某些智力测试中表现得更好,比如对词汇量的分析。随着年龄的增长,它可能有助于减缓甚至停止认知能力的下降)”以及后文“Many Americans don't read frequently.(许多美国人不经常读书)”可知,上文提到了阅读的好处,后文则说美国人不经常读书,可知本句是在说明美国人的阅读时间正在下降,F选项中Americans对应后文中Americans。故F选项“尽管如此,美国人总的阅读时间正在下降”符合语境,故选F。
【17题详解】
根据后文“When you have some down time — you’re waiting for a friend, sleeping lightly on the way from or to work, or doing a task that doesn’t require your full attention —you can open your text instead of pulling up your favorite smartphone game.(当你有空时候——比如在等朋友的时候,在上下班的路上睡觉的时候,或者在做一件不需要你全神贯注的事情的时候——你可以打开你的文本而不是打开你最喜欢的智能手机游戏)”可知,后文提到了利用空闲时候来阅读,可见本句是在建议随身带上阅读的书籍,故E选项“随身携带一本书、电子阅读器或有声读物应用”符合语境,故选E。
【18题详解】
根据上文“This brings about a great debate: pages vs screens vs audio. Indeed, paper is still the clear winner in the court of public opinion.(这就带来了一个巨大的争论:页面VS屏幕VS音频。事实上,在公众舆论的法庭上,纸质报纸仍然是明显的赢家)”可知,上文提到了公众的巨大争论,推测本句继续实体书与电子书之间的争论而展开。故D选项“但是科学并没有证明实体书比电子书更好”符合语境,故选D。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Academic research has mostly focused on the ability to remember. A study took place in a laboratory setting: Students all read the same text, but some looked at the words on paper and others viewed an on-screen PDF. It turned out that no meaningful difference between the two media existed. As for audiobooks, they affected the brain gray matter somewhat differently.(学术研究主要集中在记忆能力上。在实验室环境下进行了一项研究:所有学生都阅读同样的文本,但一些人看的是纸上的文字,另一些人看的是屏幕上的PDF文件。事实证明,这两种媒体之间并不存在任何有意义的区别。至于有声读物,它们对大脑灰质的影响有所不同)”可知,上文提到阅读纸上的文字和屏幕上的文字之间并不存在任何有意义的区别,且提到了有声读物对大脑的影响,本句为本段最后一句,应继续说明有声读物对大脑的影响结果是什么。G选项中they指代上文audiobooks。故G选项“然而,它们对大脑的刺激不亚于黑白纸张”符合语境,故选G。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Finally, if you hope to get a reading habit going, you shouldn’t dismiss paper, digital, or audio books(最后,如果你希望养成阅读习惯,你不应该忽视纸质书、电子书或有声书)”以及后文“Don’t be afraid to change things depending on the occasion.(不要害怕根据情况做出改变)”可知,上文提到不应该放弃纸质、数字或音频,后文说根据不同场合做出改变,可知本句是在说明应该根据需要来做出选择。故B选项“选择最符合你需要的”符合语境,故选B。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了约翰・列侬的歌曲《想象》的影响力,它鼓励人们向往和平与团结,对人们思考全球问题产生了巨大影响,至今仍能打动无数人。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:现代音乐史上最有影响力的歌曲之一是约翰・列侬的《想象》。空白处修饰名词 songs作定语,应使用形容词,power的形容词是powerful,故填powerful。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这首歌录制于1971年,迅速成为了对和平与团结的一种颂扬。空白处在句子中做状语,使用非谓语动词,record与this song之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,使用过去分词作状语,故填Recorded。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这首歌录制于1971年,迅速成为了对和平与团结的一种颂扬。因空白处后面有名词,根据冠词的用法,名词前需使用不定冠词,表示“一个”含义,且因空白处后面词的第一个发音因素为辅音,故填a。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:《想象》的歌词鼓励听众去想象一个人们尽管有差异但仍能和谐相处的世界。本句为包含定语从句的复合句,先行词是a world,关系词在从句中作地点状语,所以用关系副词where引导,故填where。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:列侬简单的信息引起了全世界数百万人的共鸣,激励他们去梦想一个更加和平的未来。空白处在句子中做状语,inspire的逻辑主语是前面整个句子,二者是逻辑上的主谓关系,所以用现在分词作结果状语,故填inspiring。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:《想象》对人们思考战争和不平等这类全球问题的方式产生了巨大影响。“have an impact on”是固定短语,表示“对……有影响”,故填on。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:在这首歌发行的时候,世界正经历着政治动荡和冲突。当时人们把《想象》视为反战运动的呼声,并帮助传播了和平与爱的信息,展示了一首歌如何能让人们团结起来为更美好的未来而奋斗。根据时间状语“During the time of its release”可知句子表示的是过去发生的动作,谓语动词使用一般过去时,故填regarded。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在这首歌发行的时候,世界正经历着政治动荡和冲突。当时人们把《想象》视为反战运动的呼声,并帮助传播了和平与爱的信息,展示了一首歌如何能让人们团结起来为更美好的未来而奋斗。空白处在句子中做状语表示目的,要用动词不定式,故填to fight。
【44题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:到目前为止,无数人被这首歌打动。“Up till now”是现在完成时的标志,表示过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响,且people与move之间是被动关系,所以用现在完成时的被动语态,故填have been moved。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:从这个例子中,可以清楚地看到音乐的力量。空白处修饰动词seen,要用副词形式做状语,clear的副词是clearly,故填clearly。

【答案】范文
My Favorite Chinese Traditional Festival
Among China’s rich cultural celebrations, the lantern festival stands out as my favorite.
Falling on the 15th day of the first Chinese lunar month, the Lantern Festival turns cities into a magical wonderland decorated with colorful lanterns in various shapes like animals, flowers and even characters from legends. What I like best is guessing riddles on lanterns — a fun game for everyone! Families stroll together under the lantern-lit sky, sharing laughter and creating warm memories. And of course, no celebration is complete without eating sweet yuanxiao whose round shape symbolizes family togetherness.
For me, the Lantern Festival goes beyond the beautiful sights and tasty treats. It’s a reminder of our culture roots, the joy of reunion and love and the hope for a bright future.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Father’s Day was in two weeks. I didn’t know what to get Dad. Last year I made him a photo album. This year I wanted to do something different.
At dinner, Dad accidentally dropped his favorite blue tie into his soup bowl. The tie was ruined. I suddenly knew what to get Dad for Father’s Day!
“How much does a tie cost?” I asked Mom the next morning.
“Depends,” she said.“ Some can cost twenty dollars. Do you have enough money. Carter?”
“No, ” I said sadly.
When I got to my room to change into my school clothes I noticed a hole in my shirt.
“Mom, I need you to sew(缝补) my shirt, I said loudly, rushing out the door to the school bus.
At school I picked at the hole in my shirt. I thought about how I could come up with enough money to buy a tie. I took a deep sigh, and played with the hold some more. As the hole grew in size, an idea sprung into my mind.
After coming home from school, I dug through my closet trying to find other worn clothes.
“Mom! "I yelled down the hall heading towards her
Can I cut these clothes up to make Dad a patchwork(拼缝) tie for Father’s Day?” I pointed out the holes to Mom.
“ I guess,” he said.
“And,” I added, “Can you show me how to sew and make tiny stitches(针脚)?”
“Yes, Carter. Let s start now before Dad gets home.” Mom said, heading for her sewing supplies.
I followed Moms instructions and started making a patchwork tie. I gently pressed my foot on the foot pedal(缝纫机脚踏板) . Suddenly, the needle stopped and the machine made a horrible sound. “No!” I said.
“Try again, Carter, ” Mom instructed.
I took a deep breath and gently applied the pedal again. Unluckily, I failed again.

“Forget it! I can’t do this!” I cried and went to my room.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On Father’s Day I handed Dad a small box.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
“ Forget it! I cant do this!” I cried and went to my room. After sitting in my room for a while, I realized that if I wanted to give Dad a Father’s Day gift, I would have to learn to sew or at least keep trying. Every day after school, I would try, and try, and try. Finally, I was able to work the machine with Mom’s continued help. Although my first stitches were big and far apart, I grew better and better and my stitches finally became closer together and looked nice.
On Fathers Day I handed Dad a small box. He tore the wrapping paper off and opened the box. “Wow! This is great, Carter!” he said, holding up the patchwork tie. “I remember that shirt of yours,” Dad said, pointing out the patches. “Thank you very much.” Dad’s hug was big and warm. “I’ll be sure to take this off when I eat soup.” he said, and we both laughed.
