Payeng from India’s northeastem Assam region has achieved what many environmental organizations struggle to do — single-handedly creating and nurturing a 1,360-acre forest ecosystem over the course of four decades.
The journey began in 1979 when Payeng, then just 16 years old, witnessed a heartbreaking scene on the Brahmaputra River’s sandbars. Following floods that washed away topsoil and vegetation, he saw hundreds of snakes die under the burning sun with no shade to protect them. This disturbing experience planted the seed of an idea that would grow into his life’s work. When local forestry officials dismissed his concerns and claimed nothing could grow in the degraded soil, the determined teenager took matters into his own hands.
Starting with just a few bamboo saplings (幼苗), Payeng developed a creative approach to reforestation. He introduced red ants to naturally enrich the soil, despite their painful bites. As the bamboo began to take root, he designed an innovative irrigation (灌溉) system using earthen pots with small holes, suspended on bamboo platforms above each sapling. This simple but effective solution allowed water to slowly drop to the plants over several days, crucial for their survival during dry periods.
What began as a small cluster (簇) of bamboo grew year by year into an astonishingly diverse ecosystem. Payeng expanded his planting to include native species and eventually valuable teak trees. His daily routine of planting and caring for trees continued without stopping, even when neighbors laughed at his efforts or when the physical labor became exhausting. The forest gradually became home to an incredible diversity of wildlife — from insects and birds to deer, elephants, and even the endangered Bengal tiger.
Today, Payeng continues his work while advocating for environmental education. “Nature created a perfect balance,” he often says. “When we damage it, we must work to restore it.”
4. What motivated Payeng to start his forest project?
A. Advice from local forestry experts.
B. Childhood dreams of becoming a botanist.
C. Witnessing wildlife suffering from habitat loss.
D. Government funding for environmental protection.
5. How did Payeng address the irrigation challenge?
A. By relying on seasonal rainfall. B. By digging artificial ponds across the area.
C. By training villagers to transport water daily. D. By using containers with holes to supply water.
6. Which of the following can best describe Payeng?
A. Visionary and decisive. B. Humorous and flexible.
C. Passive and dependent. D. Profit-driven and commercial.
7. What can we say about the reforestation project?
A. It’s a typical multi-party attempt.
B. It’s an accidental result of natural regrowth.
C. It’s an ecological masterpiece built by hand.
D. It’s a government-funded conservation program.
C
It’s the love-hate relationship that defined a generation. We think we know all about teenagers and the phones to which they’re tied: sleeping with them under the pillow (枕头), panicking at the prospect of ever being denied Wi-Fi, so glued to the screen that they’re ignoring the world unfolding around them. Yet the first generation to have never really known a life without social media — the drug that primarily keeps them coming back to their phones for more — is now grown up enough to reflect on what it may have done to them, and the answers are almost enough to break your heart.
Two-thirds of 16-to-24-year-olds think social media does more harm than good and three-quarters want tougher regulation to protect younger people from it, according to a survey by the New Britain Project, a think tank founded by a former teacher, Anna McShane. Half think they spent too much time on it when they were younger, with regret highest among those who started using social media youngest. And most tellingly of all, four in five say they’d keep their own children away from it for as long as they could if they became parents. This isn’t how anyone talks about something they love, but how you look back on a relationship that was making you miserable.
Though the focus groups she conducted confirmed that parents were desperate for help to make children off screens, what’s refreshing about McShane’s research is that it suggests the generations aren’t as locked in combat (斗争) as they sometimes feel; that increasingly, we’re all on the same side. Gen Z, it turns out, don’t need more lectures from their (often equally addicted) elders about getting off that bloody phone. If anything, they may have something to teach us.
Rather cheeringly, however, it seems in the meantime Gen Z are taking things into their own hands. A generation of kids who grew up online, and all too often started their first jobs dialling remotely into Zoom meetings, now seem to be actively trying to teach themselves to socialise in the real world.
8. What is the common attitude of Gen Z towards social media?
A. Negative. B. Approving. C. Dismissive. D. Unclear.
9. Which of the words can best describe Gen Z and their parents’ attitude towards social media?
A. Consistent. B. Unreasonable.
C. Conflicting. D. Misguided.
10. How are Gen Z responding to the situation?
A. Organizing offline community events. B. Relearning face-to-face interaction.
C. Developing strict screen-time schedules. D. Pushing for school curriculum reforms.
11. Which of the following can be the title for the text?
A. Raised Online, Growing Disconnected B. Zoomers Defend Their Screen Habits
C. Gen Z Demand Unlimited Screen Time D. Growing Socially, Attracted To Social Media
D
You’ve been counting down the days to meet your best friend and peer (同龄人). But before you can get a word in, your friend passes you something and excitedly announces: I’ve got a new phone! What follows is a one-sided conversation where you nod politely as they give detailed descriptions of the features of their new phone. You know you should feel happy for them, but instead, you’re left with a mix of frustration, jealousy (嫉妒), and even loneliness.
This situation is more common than you might think. When someone becomes really into a new possession, it’s natural to feel sidelined. The dynamic of your friendship seems to shift overnight — where you once talked about shared interests, school life, or future plans, now every conversation circles back to their latest expensive purchase. Psychologist Catherine Hallissey explains this phenomenon: “Our brains are hardwired to seek novelty. Sometimes it’s about the object itself; other times, it’s about the social status or confidence boost that comes with owning something new.” It’s also helpful to remember that this phase is short-lived. The excitement over new possessions always fades, and your friendship will eventually return to its normal rhythm.
The emotional fallout can be surprisingly intense. You might feel like you’ve been replaced by an object, or start questioning your own value and place within your friend’s priorities when faced with their flashy new status symbol. That growing sense of feeling — that Shakespeare famously called the “green-eyed monster” — is completely normal in these situations. In our social media age where comparisons are constant, such reactions are completely normal.
Rather than beating yourself up for these emotions, the healthiest approach is to recognize and accept them. Catherine suggests a simple but powerful strategy: “When you notice jealousy, literally say to yourself, ‘I’m feeling envious right now.’ This act of naming the emotion helps prevent it from controlling your behavior.”
In the meantime, focus on self-care and maintain perspective. Remind yourself of your own unique qualities that no material possession could ever replace. With patience and understanding, you’ll work through this temporary imbalance and come out with an even stronger friendship on the other side.
12. What does the author think of friends’ showing off new purchases?
A. It reflects poor financial management skills.
B. It signals a deeper insecurity about self-worth.
C. It’s an understandable but temporary behavior.
D. It demonstrates genuine technological interest.
13. What do the underlined words “green-eyed monster” in paragraph 3 refers to?
A. Environmental pollution. B. Intense envy.
C. Social media addiction. D. Peer pressure.
14. What would Catherine advise when one is stuck with the negative emotion?
A. Document your feelings in a journal first.
B. Label the emotion honestly before acting.
C. Compare your friend’s phone with your own.
D. Ask to borrow the phone to reduce curiosity.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. Historical development of consumer culture.
B. Approaches to maintaining balanced and lasting friendships.
C. Psychological mechanisms behind material desires and longings.
D. Strategies for managing emotions stimulated by others’ possessions.

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。
New neighbors were an exciting prospect in our quiet neighborhood. When a couple moved into the house kitty-corner to us, I looked forward to seeing what they would do with the property. The lot was bare and plain, an unsightly spot on the street. I couldn't wait for the new owners to grow some nice green grass. A lawn (草坪) would be a welcome sight when I looked out of our front window at it from across the street.
I thought I had to have mishear d when my new neighbor, Miss LaTrecia. announced she wouldn't be putting one in. We were standing in front of her house, and I almost dropped to the ground.
“No lawn?” I repeated.
“No lawn,” she confirmed. “At least, not in the front. We'll put grass in the back for our dogs to run around on, but I have my own plans for the front. I'm going to scatter (撒) wildflower seeds. Just imagine the colors! Plus, my husband won't have to tend to the lawn all the time.”
She and her husband looked to be in their eighties, and I wanted to be respectful. I struggled to find a polite way to tell her that I completely disagreed. “This Texas soil... there's so much clay and not much drainage (排水),”I said. “Planting a bunch of wildflowers will be a lot more taxing than mowing a lawn.”
“Now, now,” Miss LaTrecia insisted, “I have a plan for this yard. We're going to have three rocked tiers... ”
I listened, horrified. If Miss LaTrecia did manage to turn her dream into reality, I feared my front window view would be worse than it was now.
Over the next few weeks, Miss LaTrecia's yard transformed into something entirely unexpected. True to her word, she built three rock-edged tiers, filling them with dark soil. Then came the wildflower seeds — dozens of packets scattered with hopeful abandon. I watched skeptically from my window, convinced the Texas sun and clay-heavy earth would ruin her project.
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。
To my surprise, tiny green shoots soon pushed through the soil.

From then on, our relationship changed.

Payeng from India’s northeastem Assam region has achieved what many environmental organizations struggle to do — single-handedly creating and nurturing a 1,360-acre forest ecosystem over the course of four decades.
The journey began in 1979 when Payeng, then just 16 years old, witnessed a heartbreaking scene on the Brahmaputra River’s sandbars. Following floods that washed away topsoil and vegetation, he saw hundreds of snakes die under the burning sun with no shade to protect them. This disturbing experience planted the seed of an idea that would grow into his life’s work. When local forestry officials dismissed his concerns and claimed nothing could grow in the degraded soil, the determined teenager took matters into his own hands.
Starting with just a few bamboo saplings (幼苗), Payeng developed a creative approach to reforestation. He introduced red ants to naturally enrich the soil, despite their painful bites. As the bamboo began to take root, he designed an innovative irrigation (灌溉) system using earthen pots with small holes, suspended on bamboo platforms above each sapling. This simple but effective solution allowed water to slowly drop to the plants over several days, crucial for their survival during dry periods.
What began as a small cluster (簇) of bamboo grew year by year into an astonishingly diverse ecosystem. Payeng expanded his planting to include native species and eventually valuable teak trees. His daily routine of planting and caring for trees continued without stopping, even when neighbors laughed at his efforts or when the physical labor became exhausting. The forest gradually became home to an incredible diversity of wildlife — from insects and birds to deer, elephants, and even the endangered Bengal tiger.
Today, Payeng continues his work while advocating for environmental education. “Nature created a perfect balance,” he often says. “When we damage it, we must work to restore it.”
4. What motivated Payeng to start his forest project?
A. Advice from local forestry experts.
B. Childhood dreams of becoming a botanist.
C. Witnessing wildlife suffering from habitat loss.
D. Government funding for environmental protection.
5. How did Payeng address the irrigation challenge?
A. By relying on seasonal rainfall. B. By digging artificial ponds across the area.
C. By training villagers to transport water daily. D. By using containers with holes to supply water.
6. Which of the following can best describe Payeng?
A. Visionary and decisive. B. Humorous and flexible.
C. Passive and dependent. D. Profit-driven and commercial.
7. What can we say about the reforestation project?
A. It’s a typical multi-party attempt.
B. It’s an accidental result of natural regrowth.
C. It’s an ecological masterpiece built by hand.
D. It’s a government-funded conservation program.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. C

C
It’s the love-hate relationship that defined a generation. We think we know all about teenagers and the phones to which they’re tied: sleeping with them under the pillow (枕头), panicking at the prospect of ever being denied Wi-Fi, so glued to the screen that they’re ignoring the world unfolding around them. Yet the first generation to have never really known a life without social media — the drug that primarily keeps them coming back to their phones for more — is now grown up enough to reflect on what it may have done to them, and the answers are almost enough to break your heart.
Two-thirds of 16-to-24-year-olds think social media does more harm than good and three-quarters want tougher regulation to protect younger people from it, according to a survey by the New Britain Project, a think tank founded by a former teacher, Anna McShane. Half think they spent too much time on it when they were younger, with regret highest among those who started using social media youngest. And most tellingly of all, four in five say they’d keep their own children away from it for as long as they could if they became parents. This isn’t how anyone talks about something they love, but how you look back on a relationship that was making you miserable.
Though the focus groups she conducted confirmed that parents were desperate for help to make children off screens, what’s refreshing about McShane’s research is that it suggests the generations aren’t as locked in combat (斗争) as they sometimes feel; that increasingly, we’re all on the same side. Gen Z, it turns out, don’t need more lectures from their (often equally addicted) elders about getting off that bloody phone. If anything, they may have something to teach us.
Rather cheeringly, however, it seems in the meantime Gen Z are taking things into their own hands. A generation of kids who grew up online, and all too often started their first jobs dialling remotely into Zoom meetings, now seem to be actively trying to teach themselves to socialise in the real world.
8. What is the common attitude of Gen Z towards social media?
A. Negative. B. Approving. C. Dismissive. D. Unclear.
9. Which of the words can best describe Gen Z and their parents’ attitude towards social media?
A. Consistent. B. Unreasonable.
C. Conflicting. D. Misguided.
10. How are Gen Z responding to the situation?
A. Organizing offline community events. B. Relearning face-to-face interaction.
C. Developing strict screen-time schedules. D. Pushing for school curriculum reforms.
11. Which of the following can be the title for the text?
A. Raised Online, Growing Disconnected B. Zoomers Defend Their Screen Habits
C. Gen Z Demand Unlimited Screen Time D. Growing Socially, Attracted To Social Media
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Z世代(16到24岁人群)对社交媒体的看法,他们大多认为社交媒体弊大于利,并希望对其加强监管,同时Z世代正努力重新学习在现实世界中进行社交。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Two-thirds of 16-to-24-year-olds think social media does more harm than good and three-quarters want tougher regulation to protect younger people from it, according to a survey by the New Britain Project, a think tank founded by a former teacher, Anna McShane. Half think they spent too much time on it when they were younger, with regret highest among those who started using social media youngest. And most tellingly of all, four in five say they'd keep their own children away from it for as long as they could if they became parents. (根据前教师安娜・麦克沙恩创立的智库“新英国项目”的一项调查,三分之二的16至24岁年轻人认为社交媒体弊大于利,四分之三的人希望加强监管,保护年轻人免受其害。一半的人认为他们年轻时在社交媒体上花费了太多时间,在那些最早开始使用社交媒体的人中,后悔程度最高。最能说明问题的是,五分之四的人表示,如果他们成为父母,会尽可能让自己的孩子远离社交媒体。)”可知,Z世代大多认为社交媒体对他们有害,对社交媒体持否定态度。故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Though the focus groups she conducted confirmed that parents were desperate for help to make children off screens, what’s refreshing about McShane’s research is that it suggests the generations aren’t as locked in combat (斗争) as they sometimes feel; that increasingly, we’re all on the same side. (尽管她开展的焦点小组调查证实,父母们迫切需要帮助让孩子远离屏幕,但麦克沙恩的研究令人耳目一新的是,它表明几代人并不像他们有时感觉的那样陷入斗争;越来越多的是,我们都站在同一边。)”可知,Z世代和他们的父母都希望孩子远离社交媒体,在对待社交媒体的态度上是一致的。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“A generation of kids who grew up online, and all too often started their first jobs dialling remotely into Zoom meetings, now seem to be actively trying to teach themselves to socialise in the real world. (一代在网络环境中长大的孩子,常常在第一份工作时就通过远程方式参加Zoom会议,现在他们似乎正积极地努力自学如何在现实世界中社交。)”可知,Z世代正在重新学习面对面的互动交流。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中的“We think we know all about teenagers and the phones to which they’re tied: sleeping with them under the pillow (枕头), panicking at the prospect of ever being denied Wi-Fi, so glued to the screen that they’re ignoring the world unfolding around them. Yet the first generation to have never really known a life without social media — the drug that primarily keeps them coming back to their phones for more — is now grown up enough to reflect on what it may have done to them, and the answers are almost enough to break your heart. (我们以为自己很了解青少年和他们形影不离的手机:睡觉时把手机放在枕头下,一想到可能无法使用Wi-Fi就惊慌失措,如此沉迷于手机屏幕,以至于忽略了周围正在发生的世界。然而,第一代从未真正体验过没有社交媒体的生活的人 —— 社交媒体这种东西让他们总是忍不住回到手机前获取更多信息 —— 现在已经长大,足以反思社交媒体可能对他们产生的影响,而答案几乎足以让人心碎。)”以及最后一段最后一句“A generation of kids who grew up online, and all too often started their first jobs dialling remotely into Zoom meetings, now seem to be actively trying to teach themselves to socialise in the real world. (一代在网络环境中长大的孩子,常常在第一份工作时就通过远程方式参加Zoom会议,现在他们似乎正积极地努力自学如何在现实世界中社交。)”可知,文章主要围绕在网络环境中长大的 Z 世代,意识到社交媒体对他们的负面影响,开始重新学习现实社交展开,A 选项“Raised Online, Growing Disconnected (在网络中成长,变得与现实脱节)”符合文章主旨,适合作为文章标题。故选A项。
D
You’ve been counting down the days to meet your best friend and peer (同龄人). But before you can get a word in, your friend passes you something and excitedly announces: I’ve got a new phone! What follows is a one-sided conversation where you nod politely as they give detailed descriptions of the features of their new phone. You know you should feel happy for them, but instead, you’re left with a mix of frustration, jealousy (嫉妒), and even loneliness.
This situation is more common than you might think. When someone becomes really into a new possession, it’s natural to feel sidelined. The dynamic of your friendship seems to shift overnight — where you once talked about shared interests, school life, or future plans, now every conversation circles back to their latest expensive purchase. Psychologist Catherine Hallissey explains this phenomenon: “Our brains are hardwired to seek novelty. Sometimes it’s about the object itself; other times, it’s about the social status or confidence boost that comes with owning something new.” It’s also helpful to remember that this phase is short-lived. The excitement over new possessions always fades, and your friendship will eventually return to its normal rhythm.
The emotional fallout can be surprisingly intense. You might feel like you’ve been replaced by an object, or start questioning your own value and place within your friend’s priorities when faced with their flashy new status symbol. That growing sense of feeling — that Shakespeare famously called the “green-eyed monster” — is completely normal in these situations. In our social media age where comparisons are constant, such reactions are completely normal.
Rather than beating yourself up for these emotions, the healthiest approach is to recognize and accept them. Catherine suggests a simple but powerful strategy: “When you notice jealousy, literally say to yourself, ‘I’m feeling envious right now.’ This act of naming the emotion helps prevent it from controlling your behavior.”
In the meantime, focus on self-care and maintain perspective. Remind yourself of your own unique qualities that no material possession could ever replace. With patience and understanding, you’ll work through this temporary imbalance and come out with an even stronger friendship on the other side.
12. What does the author think of friends’ showing off new purchases?
A. It reflects poor financial management skills.
B. It signals a deeper insecurity about self-worth.
C. It’s an understandable but temporary behavior.
D. It demonstrates genuine technological interest.
13. What do the underlined words “green-eyed monster” in paragraph 3 refers to?
A. Environmental pollution. B. Intense envy.
C. Social media addiction. D. Peer pressure.
14. What would Catherine advise when one is stuck with the negative emotion?
A. Document your feelings in a journal first.
B. Label the emotion honestly before acting.
C. Compare your friend’s phone with your own.
D. Ask to borrow the phone to reduce curiosity.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. Historical development of consumer culture.
B. Approaches to maintaining balanced and lasting friendships.
C. Psychological mechanisms behind material desires and longings.
D. Strategies for managing emotions stimulated by others’ possessions.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。主要介绍了当朋友炫耀新购买的东西时,我们可能会产生嫉妒等消极情绪,并说明了这种现象产生的原因,以及应对这种情绪的方法。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“When someone becomes really into a new possession, it’s natural to feel sidelined. (当有人真的对新拥有的东西着迷时,感到被冷落是很自然的。)”和后四句“Psychologist Catherine Hallissey explains this phenomenon: “Our brains are hardwired to seek novelty. Sometimes it’s about the object itself; other times, it’s about the social status or confidence boost that comes with owning something new.” It’s also helpful to remember that this phase is short-lived. The excitement over new possessions always fades, and your friendship will eventually return to its normal rhythm.(心理学家凯瑟琳・哈利西解释了这一现象:“我们的大脑天生就追求新奇。有时是关于物品本身;其他时候,则是关于拥有新东西带来的社会地位提升或自信增强。”同样要记住,这个阶段是短暂的。对新物品的兴奋感总会消退,而你们的友谊最终也会恢复到正常节奏。)”可知,作者认为朋友炫耀新购买的东西是可以理解的且是暂时的行为。故选C项。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段第二、三句“You might feel like you’ve been replaced by an object, or start questioning your own value and place within your friend’s priorities when faced with their flashy new status symbol. That growing sense of feeling — that Shakespeare famously called the “green-eyed monster” — is completely normal in these situations. (当面对朋友炫耀的新身份象征时,你可能会觉得自己被某个物件取代,或者开始质疑自己的价值以及在朋友心中的地位。这种与日俱增的感觉 —— 莎士比亚曾称之为“嫉妒的绿眼妖魔” —— 在这些情况下是完全正常的。)”可知,当面对朋友炫耀的新东西时,你可能会觉得自己被一个物品取代,开始质疑自己的价值,这种感觉就是莎士比亚所说的“green-eyed monster”,结合前文提到的嫉妒情绪,可推断出“green-eyed monster”指的是强烈的嫉妒。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段后两句“Catherine suggests a simple but powerful strategy: “When you notice jealousy, literally say to yourself, ‘I’m feeling envious right now.’ This act of naming the emotion helps prevent it from controlling your behavior.” (凯瑟琳提出了一个简单却有效的策略:“当你察觉到嫉妒情绪时,实实在在地对自己说,‘我此刻正感到嫉妒。’这种为情绪命名的行为有助于防止它控制你的行为。”)”可知,Catherine建议当一个人陷入嫉妒消极情绪时,在行动之前诚实地给这种情绪贴上标签。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。纵览全文,结合倒数第二段“Rather than beating yourself up for these emotions, the healthiest approach is to recognize and accept them.(与其为这些情绪痛击自己,最健康的方法是认识并接受它们)”,最后一段“In the meantime, focus on self-care and maintain perspective. (与此同时,关注自我照顾,保持乐观)”可知,文章主要讲述了当朋友炫耀新购买的东西时,我们可能会产生嫉妒等消极情绪,接着介绍了这种现象产生的原因,以及应对这种情绪的方法。因此本文主要是关于管理由他人财产刺激的情绪的策略。故选D项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了近年来中国建筑师凭借创新理念获海外广泛认可,以卢卡斯叙事艺术博物馆和马尔代夫“海洋天堂”项目为例,前者由MAD设计,与自然和谐且已获赞誉,后者由CAA设计,融合多元素成地标也受好评,展现了中国建筑师影响力增长及文化与设计结合造可持续建筑的能力。
【36题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:两个著名的例子是洛杉矶的卢卡斯叙事艺术博物馆和马尔代夫的“海洋天堂”项目。空处应填名词作主语,前有基数词two,应用example的复数形式。故填examples。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:由马岩松领衔的MAD建筑事务所设计的卢卡斯叙事艺术博物馆,是中国卓越建筑的一个典范。分析句子结构可知,此简单句中已有谓语is,因此,再出现的动词均应用非谓语动词形式。其中的“designed by MAD Architects ___2___ (lead) by Ma Yansong”为过去分词作后置定语,修饰“the Lucas Narrative Art Museum”,lead修饰“MAD Architects”,它们之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,也应用过去分词作定语,表被动。故填led。
【38题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:该博物馆计划于2025年开放,其独特的设计形似城市上空漂浮的云朵,屋顶兼作公共空间,可提供洛杉矶的全景视野。be set to do sth.意为“准备做某事”,故填to open。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:这座建筑的有机形态以及与环境的融合,体现了MAD创造与自然和谐共生建筑的理念。harmonize with…意为“与……协调”,是固定搭配。故填with。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:自其设计方案发布以来,这个项目因其创新的设计方法已经引起了广泛关注并获得了赞誉。“Ever since the release of its design”是现在完成时的标志,且主语“this project”是单数。故填has generated。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意:另一个令人印象深刻的项目是由刘昊威领衔的CAA建筑事务所设计的马尔代夫“海洋天堂”项目。修饰名词“project”应用impress的形容词形式impressive“令人印象深刻的”。故填impressive。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:该设计融合了当地文化、海洋生态以及可持续发展理念,打造出了一座未来主义的城市地标。句子描述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时,且主语“The design”是单数,谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填integrates。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这片建筑群以相互连接的建筑结构和可持续能源系统为特色,因其在城市设计和环境可持续性方面的创新方法而备受赞誉。句中已有谓语has been praised,且“The building complex”与feature是逻辑上的主谓关系,因此应用feature的现在分作后置定语。故填featuring。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这些项目凸显了中国建筑师日益增长的国际影响力,他们越来越因能够将文化敏感度与现代设计相结合而受到认可,创造出了留下深远影响的可持续建筑。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词是“Chinese architects”,指人,在从句中作主语,应用关系代词who来引导。故填who。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这些项目凸显了中国建筑师日益增长的国际影响力,他们越来越因能够将文化敏感度与现代设计相结合而受到认可,创造出了留下深远影响的可持续建筑。leave a/an… impact意为“留下……的影响”,是固定短语,又因lasting以辅音因素开头。故填a。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
New neighbors were an exciting prospect in our quiet neighborhood. When a couple moved into the house kitty-corner to us, I looked forward to seeing what they would do with the property. The lot was bare and plain, an unsightly spot on the street. I couldn't wait for the new owners to grow some nice green grass. A lawn (草坪) would be a welcome sight when I looked out of our front window at it from across the street.
I thought I had to have mishear d when my new neighbor, Miss LaTrecia. announced she wouldn't be putting one in. We were standing in front of her house, and I almost dropped to the ground.
“No lawn?” I repeated.
“No lawn,” she confirmed. “At least, not in the front. We'll put grass in the back for our dogs to run around on, but I have my own plans for the front. I'm going to scatter (撒) wildflower seeds. Just imagine the colors! Plus, my husband won't have to tend to the lawn all the time.”
She and her husband looked to be in their eighties, and I wanted to be respectful. I struggled to find a polite way to tell her that I completely disagreed. “This Texas soil... there's so much clay and not much drainage (排水),”I said. “Planting a bunch of wildflowers will be a lot more taxing than mowing a lawn.”
“Now, now,” Miss LaTrecia insisted, “I have a plan for this yard. We're going to have three rocked tiers... ”
I listened, horrified. If Miss LaTrecia did manage to turn her dream into reality, I feared my front window view would be worse than it was now.
Over the next few weeks, Miss LaTrecia's yard transformed into something entirely unexpected. True to her word, she built three rock-edged tiers, filling them with dark soil. Then came the wildflower seeds — dozens of packets scattered with hopeful abandon. I watched skeptically from my window, convinced the Texas sun and clay-heavy earth would ruin her project.
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。
To my surprise, tiny green shoots soon pushed through the soil.

From then on, our relationship changed.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
To my surprise, tiny green shoots soon pushed through the soil. As the days passed, the shoots grew taller and stronger, and before long, a riot of colors burst forth. The wildflowers bloomed in a spectacular display — daisies, sunflowers, and purple coneflowers swayed gently in the breeze, attracting butterflies and bees. The three rock-edged tiers provided a perfect backdrop, creating a beautiful, natural - looking garden. I found myself staring out of the window in wonder, realizing how wrong I’d been. The sight was far more beautiful than any ordinary lawn could ever be.
From then on, our relationship changed. I went across the street to apologize to Miss LaTrecia for my initial skepticism. She welcomed me with a warm smile and invited me to help her tend to the garden. We spent many afternoons together, watering the plants, pulling weeds, and chatting. I learned so much from her about gardening and life in general. Her wildflower garden became a neighborhood attraction, and I felt proud to have played a small part in it. It taught me never to judge a book by its cover and that beauty can come in unexpected forms.
