Most Beautiful Islands in the World
Nothing beats a beautiful island. These are the four most beautiful islands around the world.
Bora Bora, French Polynesia
Shaped like a big hat, this volcanic island stars in many South Pacific daydreams. Fish, turtles and sharks swim in the clear waters. The island, of course, is clearly French, with mouthwatering food to match. Diving is excellent in the surrounding reefs, and hiking paths wind through the palm trees. Bora Bora is home to luxurious (奢侈的) resorts, where you can fall asleep to the gentle sounds of the sea.
Palawan, Philippines
The island of Palawan is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world and is the Philippines’ answer to paradise. The most amazing area and what sets this island apart from others are the cliffs (悬崖) and beaches on the north end of Palawan, near the town of El Nido.
Seychelles Kenya
This fairly untouched group of 115 coral and granite islands is full of attractions to visit, from UNESCO-listed jungles and lively coral reefs to beaches lined with palm trees. The Seychelles also feature some of the planet’s richest fishing grounds, making this a top destination for fishing lovers.
Santorini, Greece
The spectacular Santorini scores top points for its beauty. Blue-domed churches stand up against the shining sea. Other great attractions of Santorini include Akrotíri Archaeological Site, Ancient Thira, the black sand beach of Perissa, and of course, the extremely beautiful sunsets.

In South Africa, a former passenger train now serves as a travelling medical center to provide health services to people in need.
The train is known as Phelophepa, which means “good, clean, health”. It travels across South Africa to provide medical care to a mix of patients for whom usual health care is unavailable (难以获得的) or rare. The train has been operating since the early 1990s. The train carries medical professionals around the country, even to the most rural villages. Officials say the service helps at least 375,000 South Africans each year.
The care patients receive is different from the government’s main public health care system. That system serves an estimated 84 percent of the population. But government insurance plans are too costly for many people to pay for.
Thethiwe Mahlangu has used the health train and recently spoke to the media about her experiences. She said local health clinics in her area — in Tembisa — cannot effectively serve her needs. “There we are not treated well,” Mahlangu said. She noted that when people ask about such questions, the medical workers say they simply need bigger hospitals.
When the train began in 1994, many people in South Africa still lived in rural villages with little availability to health centers. The time was a period of great change in South Africa. Today, the train assists the growing populations of the capital, Pretoria, as well as Johannesburg, the country’s economic center.
Shemona Kendiah, the train’s manager, said that the train could remain in one place for lots of days to see as many people as possible. Those going to major population centers — like Tembisa — can end up staying up to two weeks.
The patient, Jane Mabuza, got a full health examination as well as services for her teeth. She believes the train will be able to reach many more people in other areas. “Here on the train you never hear that anything has been finished,” Mabuza added.
4. What challenge do many South Africans face in getting healthcare?
A. Local health clinics refuse to treat them. B. The country lacks medical professionals.
C. The Phelophepa train cannot reach rural areas. D. Government insurance is not affordable for them.
5. Why does Mahlangu prefer the Phelophepa train to local clinics?
A Local clinics have no proper medical facilities. B. The train provides faster service than hospitals.
C. The train offers more specialized treatments. D. Local clinic staff often reject patients.
6. How does the author stress the impact of the Phelophepa train?
A. Sharing fictional stories. B. Listing some medical terms.
C. Using direct quotations from patients. D. Comparing with other healthcare programs.
7. How does Jane Mabuza feel about the Phelophepa train?
A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Disappointed. D. Indifferent.
C
With Mel Robbins’ new book, The Let Them Theory, lots of people are talking about boundaries (边界).
As relationship experts, boundaries are one of the most important parts of our work. Why are we so focused on boundaries, as experts who want to help people be closer to one another? Because healthy boundaries are the core foundation of any healthy relationship.
First, let’s review what boundaries are. Imagine that you have a bubble (气泡) of personal space around you. A boundary is a decision you make about what you let inside of the bubble. For example, you might want to let people inside the bubble if they bring you joy, if you care about their well-being, or if you’re working on something meaningful together. We can have lots of bubbles of different sizes for different aspects of our lives.
Importantly keeping on these boundaries is all about what you do, not what others do. You can’t force someone to behave differently within your bubble; their behavior is not within your control. So what do you do if someone violates (冒犯) your boundary? You can move your bubble away from them by changing your own behavior: For example, you might invest less emotionally in the relationship, physically leave the situation, share less information about yourself, be less open, or even cut off the relationship totally.
Healthy relationships require a foundation of mutual (相互的) respect, and this includes respecting other people’s right to make their own decisions — even if we don’t like, agree with, or tolerate their choices. So how do we let other people make their own choices without letting them harm us or violate our personal space? We set and hold strong boundaries.
Boundaries certainly protect our own individual well-being, but they also protect and develop our relationships with others. Keeping our boundaries allows us to build trust in ourselves so that we can keep ourselves safe, regardless of what other people say or do. And this sense of safety, in turn, allows us to take the risk of being weak in connection with others.
8. Why do relationship experts focus on boundaries?
A. They want to take advantage of people’s behavior.
B. Boundaries help people become more independent.
C. Healthy boundaries are essential for fine relationships.
D. It’s easier to work with people who have clear boundaries.
9. What is a boundary according to the text?
A. A rule that others must follow. B. A way to force others to behave.
C. A physical barrier around a person. D. A decision about what enters one’s personal space.
10. What can you do if someone violates your boundary?
A. Argue with them. B. Ignore them completely.
C. Adjust your own behavior. D. Try to change their behavior.
11. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Mel Robbins’ new book and its influence.
B. Importance of maintaining healthy boundaries.
C. Ways to avoid personal boundaries being violated.
D. Differences between physical and emotional boundaries.
D
8-year-old S. Hariraj, a Foldscope (折叠显微镜) lover, has been using it for 2 years now. The Foldscope reveals a world of microorganisms. “The Foldscope taught me that the world we see around us can be very different from what we assume. It’s like having a third eye.” The 8-year-old is talking about a device that is a fully functional paper microscope.
Everything you need to construct the Foldscope comes in a small bag: A sheet of paper with four main parts to punch (打孔) out to build the microscope. The main part of the Foldscope is one long sheet of paper. Magnets (磁铁) stick to each end, holding front and back together. There’s a lens (镜片) in the bag — and a hole to show where it should go. Once put together the Foldscope is the size of a bookmark.
The Foldscope is the invention of Manu Prakash and his colleague Jim Cybulski. The inspiration came when Prakash, 44, was growing up in a northern Indian city. Now a professor at Stanford University, he remembers an afternoon in Grade 6 when he and his classmates were stumped by a single test question. “We were asked to draw a microscope,” he says. “None of us could because we just hadn’t seen one. Growing up, I knew that the spirit of exploration was critical to the study of science,” says Prakash.
“And it’s not just for beginners. Many scientists and researchers apply it to their work,” says Karthik Balasubramaniam, a scientist. The Foldscope has helped make his fieldwork easier. He studies a microscopic kind of sea plants, collecting water samples from across the country to assess biodiversity and pollution. “Carrying an expensive microscope onto the field to study each water sample can be hard,” he says. “The Foldscope isn’t as powerful as a lab microscope. But it can let me see whether my water sample has sea plants or not.”
12. Why does Hariraj compare the Foldscope to a third eye?
A. It contributes to his insights into the real world. B. It can be used to replace a real human eye.
C. It is small in size and convenient to carry. D. It helps to improve his vision.
13. What do magnets serve to do in making the Foldscope?
A. Increase the weight of its central part. B. Indicate where the lens should be fixed.
C. Simplify the process of making the Foldscope. D. Fix both ends of a sheet of paper to each other.
14. What does the underlined word “stumped” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Attracted. B. Scared. C. Shamed. D. Beaten.
15. What can we learn about Foldscope from the last paragraph?
A. It matches a lab microscope in all respects. B. It suits professionals as well as amateurs.
C It first appeared before Hariraj’s birth. D. It is undervalued by some researchers.

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。
Best Classroom Practices in Teaching English as a Second Language
Teaching English as a second language for beginners is rewarding, but it surely feels a little fearful when you’re stepping into the classroom for the first time. ___16___
One great way to promote learning is to encourage students to use English instead of their mother tongue. This helps use their knowledge of English and further develop it. It also provides teaching moments for teachers and learning opportunities for students. ___17___ It works well with the “repeat after me” or “answer me” approach. Ask a student a question and give him/her a chance to answer in English.
When explaining an activity or giving directions, give both verbal (口头的) and written instructions. Doing so allows your students to hear words and see them in print at the same time. ___18___ Print off directions to an activity and distribute them to students before you explain an activity.
Take time in class to observe your students’ learning progress, such as asking them to give a thumbs-up or thumbs-down sign. Avoid questions like “Do you understand?” or “Does anyone have questions?” ___19___ Walk around and talk to students to see if they are having trouble. Make yourself available as much as possible when students are doing in-class activities or other activities.
___20___ This helps ensure you don’t lose your students’ attention. Feel free to go a few minutes over if it will aid your lesson. After each mini-lesson, switch to a totally different sort of lesson. This will help refresh students and keep their attention. Change your mini-lessons daily. Try to incorporate as many different lessons as possible to keep your students’ attention and to challenge them. Change your strategy often but stick to the same material until your students understand it.
A. It will aid in words learning and pronunciation.
B. Repeat these methods as often as you can in class.

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。
The classroom was silent except for the rhythmic beating of rain against the windows. David stared at the math test paper in front of him, his heart sinking. A big “68” was lying across the top—his worst score ever. How could this happen? The numbers swam before his eyes like laughing strangers.
That night, David lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. The failure consumed him like a hungry mouse. His parents had high hope for him, and he didn’t want to disappoint them. Maybe he was just not smart enough. Tears welled up in his eyes, but he quickly wiped them away. He knew he had to do something.
The next morning, David arrived at school early. He went to see his math teacher, Ms. Brown. “I…I failed the exam. I wonder if I can make it,” he said, his voice shaking. Ms. Brown smiled gently and said, “Failure is not the end, David. It’s a chance to learn. Let’s look at your test together.” For the next hour, Ms. Brown patiently went through each problem with him. He also suggested David join the math study group. In the study group, David met Will, who was also struggling with math. They became study partners, quizzing each other and working through problems together. “Don’t worry,” Will said. “We’ll get through this together.”
Weeks later, the pressure began to mount again. David spent every spare minute reading textbooks, but the formulas(公式)felt like slippery fish in his grasp. His parents’ unspoken expectations hung in the air like a storm cloud, and he often stayed up late, eyes burning from tiredness. During a group quiz, Will answered three questions in a row while David grasp his pen awkwardly, his mind blank. “Maybe I’m just not cut out for this,” he said to himself, staring at his shaking hands. That night, he buried his face in his pillow(枕头), wondering if all his efforts were fruitless.
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。
Ms. Brown noticed David’s condition and pulled him aside.

In South Africa, a former passenger train now serves as a travelling medical center to provide health services to people in need.
The train is known as Phelophepa, which means “good, clean, health”. It travels across South Africa to provide medical care to a mix of patients for whom usual health care is unavailable (难以获得的) or rare. The train has been operating since the early 1990s. The train carries medical professionals around the country, even to the most rural villages. Officials say the service helps at least 375,000 South Africans each year.
The care patients receive is different from the government’s main public health care system. That system serves an estimated 84 percent of the population. But government insurance plans are too costly for many people to pay for.
Thethiwe Mahlangu has used the health train and recently spoke to the media about her experiences. She said local health clinics in her area — in Tembisa — cannot effectively serve her needs. “There we are not treated well,” Mahlangu said. She noted that when people ask about such questions, the medical workers say they simply need bigger hospitals.
When the train began in 1994, many people in South Africa still lived in rural villages with little availability to health centers. The time was a period of great change in South Africa. Today, the train assists the growing populations of the capital, Pretoria, as well as Johannesburg, the country’s economic center.
Shemona Kendiah, the train’s manager, said that the train could remain in one place for lots of days to see as many people as possible. Those going to major population centers — like Tembisa — can end up staying up to two weeks.
The patient, Jane Mabuza, got a full health examination as well as services for her teeth. She believes the train will be able to reach many more people in other areas. “Here on the train you never hear that anything has been finished,” Mabuza added.
4. What challenge do many South Africans face in getting healthcare?
A. Local health clinics refuse to treat them. B. The country lacks medical professionals.
C. The Phelophepa train cannot reach rural areas. D. Government insurance is not affordable for them.
5. Why does Mahlangu prefer the Phelophepa train to local clinics?
A. Local clinics have no proper medical facilities. B. The train provides faster service than hospitals.
C. The train offers more specialized treatments. D. Local clinic staff often reject patients.
6. How does the author stress the impact of the Phelophepa train?
A. Sharing fictional stories. B. Listing some medical terms.
C. Using direct quotations from patients. D. Comparing with other healthcare programs.
7. How does Jane Mabuza feel about the Phelophepa train?
A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Disappointed. D. Indifferent.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. A
【解析】

With Mel Robbins’ new book, The Let Them Theory, lots of people are talking about boundaries (边界).
As relationship experts, boundaries are one of the most important parts of our work. Why are we so focused on boundaries, as experts who want to help people be closer to one another? Because healthy boundaries are the core foundation of any healthy relationship.
First, let’s review what boundaries are. Imagine that you have a bubble (气泡) of personal space around you. A boundary is a decision you make about what you let inside of the bubble. For example, you might want to let people inside the bubble if they bring you joy, if you care about their well-being, or if you’re working on something meaningful together. We can have lots of bubbles of different sizes for different aspects of our lives.
Importantly, keeping on these boundaries is all about what you do, not what others do. You can’t force someone to behave differently within your bubble; their behavior is not within your control. So what do you do if someone violates (冒犯) your boundary? You can move your bubble away from them by changing your own behavior: For example, you might invest less emotionally in the relationship, physically leave the situation, share less information about yourself, be less open, or even cut off the relationship totally.
Healthy relationships require a foundation of mutual (相互的) respect, and this includes respecting other people’s right to make their own decisions — even if we don’t like, agree with, or tolerate their choices. So how do we let other people make their own choices without letting them harm us or violate our personal space? We set and hold strong boundaries.
Boundaries certainly protect our own individual well-being, but they also protect and develop our relationships with others. Keeping our boundaries allows us to build trust in ourselves so that we can keep ourselves safe, regardless of what other people say or do. And this sense of safety, in turn, allows us to take the risk of being weak in connection with others.
8. Why do relationship experts focus on boundaries?
A. They want to take advantage of people’s behavior.
B. Boundaries help people become more independent.
C. Healthy boundaries are essential for fine relationships.
D. It’s easier to work with people who have clear boundaries.
9. What is a boundary according to the text?
A. A rule that others must follow. B. A way to force others to behave.
C. A physical barrier around a person. D. A decision about what enters one’s personal space.
10. What can you do if someone violates your boundary?
A. Argue with them. B. Ignore them completely.
C. Adjust your own behavior. D. Try to change their behavior.
11. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Mel Robbins’ new book and its influence.
B. Importance of maintaining healthy boundaries.
C. Ways to avoid personal boundaries being violated.
D. Differences between physical and emotional boundaries.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“边界”这一概念,阐述了其在人际关系中的重要性。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Why are we so focused on boundaries, as experts who want to help people be closer to one another? Because healthy boundaries are the core foundation of any healthy relationship. (作为想要帮助人们彼此更亲近的专家,我们为什么如此关注边界呢?因为健康的边界是任何健康关系的核心基础。)”可知,关系专家关注边界是因为健康的边界对于良好的关系来说是必不可少的。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“First, let’s review what boundaries are. Imagine that you have a bubble (气泡) of personal space around you. A boundary is a decision you make about what you let inside of the bubble. (首先,让我们回顾一下什么是边界。想象一下,你周围有一个个人空间的气泡。边界是你做出的关于让什么进入这个气泡的决定。)”可知,边界是关于什么进入一个人个人空间的决定。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“So what do you do if someone violates (冒犯) your boundary? You can move your bubble away from them by changing your own behavior: For example, you might invest less emotionally in the relationship, physically leave the situation, share less information about yourself, be less open, or even cut off the relationship totally. (那么,如果有人冒犯了你的边界,你该怎么办呢?你可以通过改变自己的行为,将你的气泡从他们身边移开:例如,你可能会在这段关系中投入更少的情感,从身体上离开这种情况,分享更少关于你自己的信息,变得不那么开放,甚至完全切断这段关系。)”可知,如果有人冒犯了你的边界,你可以调整自己的行为。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章开篇由Mel Robbins的新书引出边界的话题,接着阐述了边界的定义、当边界被冒犯时的做法,重点强调了健康的边界对个人和人际关系的重要性。所以B选项Importance of maintaining healthy boundaries. (维持健康边界的重要性。),符合文章主旨。故选B。

8-year-old S. Hariraj, a Foldscope (折叠显微镜) lover, has been using it for 2 years now. The Foldscope reveals a world of microorganisms. “The Foldscope taught me that the world we see around us can be very different from what we assume. It’s like having a third eye.” The 8-year-old is talking about a device that is a fully functional paper microscope.
Everything you need to construct the Foldscope comes in a small bag: A sheet of paper with four main parts to punch (打孔) out to build the microscope. The main part of the Foldscope is one long sheet of paper. Magnets (磁铁) stick to each end, holding front and back together. There’s a lens (镜片) in the bag — and a hole to show where it should go. Once put together the Foldscope is the size of a bookmark.
The Foldscope is the invention of Manu Prakash and his colleague Jim Cybulski. The inspiration came when Prakash, 44, was growing up in a northern Indian city. Now a professor at Stanford University, he remembers an afternoon in Grade 6 when he and his classmates were stumped by a single test question. “We were asked to draw a microscope,” he says. “None of us could because we just hadn’t seen one. Growing up, I knew that the spirit of exploration was critical to the study of science,” says Prakash.
“And it’s not just for beginners. Many scientists and researchers apply it to their work,” says Karthik Balasubramaniam, a scientist. The Foldscope has helped make his fieldwork easier. He studies a microscopic kind of sea plants, collecting water samples from across the country to assess biodiversity and pollution. “Carrying an expensive microscope onto the field to study each water sample can be hard,” he says. “The Foldscope isn’t as powerful as a lab microscope. But it can let me see whether my water sample has sea plants or not.”
12. Why does Hariraj compare the Foldscope to a third eye?
A. It contributes to his insights into the real world. B. It can be used to replace a real human eye.
C. It is small in size and convenient to carry. D. It helps to improve his vision.
13. What do magnets serve to do in making the Foldscope?
A. Increase the weight of its central part. B. Indicate where the lens should be fixed.
C. Simplify the process of making the Foldscope. D. Fix both ends of a sheet of paper to each other.
14. What does the underlined word “stumped” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Attracted. B. Scared. C. Shamed. D. Beaten.
15. What can we learn about Foldscope from the last paragraph?
A. It matches a lab microscope in all respects. B. It suits professionals as well as amateurs.
C. It first appeared before Hariraj’s birth. D. It is undervalued by some researchers.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了折叠显微镜Foldscope的诞生、制作方法与用途。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The Foldscope taught me that the world we see around us can be very different from what we assume. It’s like having a third eye.(折叠显微镜让我明白,我们周围的世界可能与我们想象的大不相同。这就像有了第三只眼睛)”可知,Hariraj将折叠显微镜比作第三只眼睛,是因为它有助于Hariraj加深对现实世界的理解。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Magnets (磁铁) stick to each end, holding front and back together.(磁铁吸附在两端,将前后固定在一起)”可知,在制作折叠显微镜时,磁铁的作用是将一张纸的两端固定在一起。故选D。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“he and his classmates were(他和他的同学们)”,“by a single test question(被一个简单的测试题)”以及下文““We were asked to draw a microscope,” he says. “None of us could because we just hadn’t seen one. Growing up, I knew that the spirit of exploration was critical to the study of science,” says Prakash.(“们被要求画一台显微镜,”他说。普拉卡什说道:“我们谁都画不出来显微镜是因为我们根本就没见过这东西。在成长过程中,我就意识到探索精神对于科学研究来说是至关重要的。”)”可知,Prakash和他的同学们被一道测试题难住了,因为他们都没见过显微镜,所以不会画。由此可知,画线词意思是“难住,使困惑”。故选D。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中““And it’s not just for beginners. Many scientists and researchers apply it to their work,” says Karthik Balasubramaniam, a scientist.(“而且(折叠显微镜)并不仅仅适用于初学者。许多科学家和研究人员也将其应用于他们的工作中,”科学家卡尔蒂克·巴拉苏布拉马尼亚姆说道)”可知,折叠显微镜不仅适合初学者,许多科学家和研究人员也将其应用于他们的工作中,即折叠显微镜既适合专业人士也适合业余爱好者。故选B。

Best Classroom Practices in Teaching English as a Second Language
Teaching English as a second language for beginners is rewarding, but it surely feels a little fearful when you’re stepping into the classroom for the first time. ___16___
One great way to promote learning is to encourage students to use English instead of their mother tongue. This helps use their knowledge of English and further develop it.

Ask a student a question and give him/her a chance to answer in English.
When explaining an activity or giving directions, give both verbal (口头的) and written instructions. Doing so allows your students to hear words and see them in print at the same time. ___18___ Print off directions to an activity and distribute them to students before you explain an activity.
Take time in class to observe your students’ learning progress, such as asking them to give a thumbs-up or thumbs-down sign. Avoid questions like “Do you understand?” or “Does anyone have questions?” ___19___ Walk around and talk to students to see if they are having trouble. Make yourself available as much as possible when students are doing in-class activities or other activities.
___20___ This helps ensure you don’t lose your students’ attention. Feel free to go a few minutes over if it will aid your lesson. After each mini-lesson, switch to a totally different sort of lesson. This will help refresh students and keep their attention. Change your mini-lessons daily. Try to incorporate as many different lessons as possible to keep your students’ attention and to challenge them. Change your strategy often but stick to the same material until your students understand it.
A. It will aid in words learning and pronunciation.
B. Repeat these methods as often as you can in class.
C. Here are some tips to help improve your classroom practices.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了帮助社区是保护环境的好方法,如参与海滩清理、公园维护等,还可向亲人宣传环境问题,让他们可持续地生活。
【36题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:这样,你就对生态系统产生了直接影响。分析句子可知,这里考查make a direct impact on,为固定搭配,意为“对…… 产生直接影响”,direct以辅音音素开头,用不定冠词a。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语。句意:此外,向你所爱的人传授环境问题可以鼓励他们更可持续地生活。分析句子可知,这里考查encourage sb. to do sth.,是固定用法,意为“鼓励某人做某事”,所以此处应用动词不定式to live作宾补。故填to live。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语。句意:传播关于保护我们自然资源以实现持久改变的原因的信息是关键。空前的for为介词,介词后接动词时要用动名词形式。故填protecting。
【39题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:全球提供了数百个环保志愿者机会。分析句子可知,这里考查谓语动词,句子描述的是现在的情况,应用一般现在时;主语Hundreds of eco-friendly volunteer chances与offer之间是被动关系,要用被动语态,且主语为复数形式。故填are offered。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意:你可以加入绿色社区,与动物一起工作,或者协助生态保护区和社会项目。空后的reserves为名词,应用形容词修饰,ecology的形容词形式是ecological,意为“生态的”。故填ecological。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:此外,作为你努力的回报,你可能会得到免费的住宿、膳食、课程和有趣的活动。这里考查in return for,为固定短语,意为“作为…… 的回报”,符合语境。故填in。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:植树节基金会、国家公园管理局和青年保护团是提供这些机会的团体。分析句子结构可知,空处引导限制性定语从句,先行词为groups,指物,且在从句中作主语,所以应用关系代词that或which引导。故填that或which。
【43题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:志愿服务让你真正有所作为,学习新技能,结识关心环境的人,并体验不同的文化。skill为可数名词,根据前面的new以及后面列举的不同方面可知,此处应用复数形式skills,表示“多种技能”。故填skills。
【44题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:每一个小行动都有助于保护环境。分析句子可知,这里考查谓语动词,主语Every small action与help为主动关系,句子描述的是一般事实,应用一般现在时;主语 Every small action是单数形式,主谓一致。故填helps。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意:无论是清理社区、植树还是教导他人,你的努力都很重要。根据前面的Whether it’s可知,此处考查whether...or...结构,意为“是…… 还是……”,所以此处应填or。故填or。

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。
The classroom was silent except for the rhythmic beating of rain against the windows. David stared at the math test paper in front of him, his heart sinking. A big “68” was lying across the top—his worst score ever. How could this happen? The numbers swam before his eyes like laughing strangers.
That night, David lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. The failure consumed him like a hungry mouse. His parents had high hope for him, and he didn’t want to disappoint them. Maybe he was just not smart enough. Tears welled up in his eyes, but he quickly wiped them away. He knew he had to do something.
The next morning, David arrived at school early. He went to see his math teacher, Ms. Brown. “I…I failed the exam. I wonder if I can make it,” he said, his voice shaking. Ms. Brown smiled gently and said, “Failure is not the end, David. It’s a chance to learn. Let’s look at your test together.” For the next hour, Ms. Brown patiently went through each problem with him. He also suggested David join the math study group. In the study group, David met Will, who was also struggling with math. They became study partners, quizzing each other and working through problems together. “Don’t worry,” Will said. “We’ll get through this together.”
Weeks later, the pressure began to mount again. David spent every spare minute reading textbooks, but the formulas(公式)felt like slippery fish in his grasp. His parents’ unspoken expectations hung in the air like a storm cloud, and he often stayed up late, eyes burning from tiredness. During a group quiz, Will answered three questions in a row while David grasp his pen awkwardly, his mind blank. “Maybe I’m just not cut out for this,” he said to himself, staring at his shaking hands. That night, he buried his face in his pillow(枕头), wondering if all his efforts were fruitless.
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。
Ms. Brown noticed David’s condition and pulled him aside.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On the day of the retest, sunlight broke through the clouds.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Ms. Brown noticed David’s condition and pulled him aside. “You’re trying too hard,” she said, pressing a cup of warm tea into his hands. “Understanding math isn’t about memorizing — it’s about connecting ideas.” She taught him to visualize formulas as puzzles, and Will shared his effective learning method he had come up with during the study group period. Gradually, the numbers stopped swimming, and David began to see patterns in the chaos. Besides, he started sleeping earlier, keeping reviewing his notes instead of staying up preparing for the examination just before it.
On the day of the retest, sunlight broke through the clouds. David’s pencil flew across the paper with newfound confidence. When Ms. Brown handed back his paper with “85” on it, Will hugged him so hard that they almost knocked over a desk. That evening, David wrote in his journal: “Storms don’t last forever. Sometimes you just need to adjust your sails.” Now, he helps classmates after school, sharing Ms. Brown’s advice and his own experience and learning methods. David knows that even in darkness, stars keep shining — especially when you refuse to give up.
