阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
As the snow begins to melt away into a distant memory, be sure to head outdoors this spring. Before the peak summer crowds roll in, you can explore unique scenic spots without the overwhelming rush of tourists. Several destinations around the globe are especially notable for their breathtaking spring offerings.
Puebla
This city in central Mexico attracts visitors with its UNESCO-recognized historic structures. Spring marks the final few months of Puebla’s dry season and temperatures average around 21℃ — just right for wandering through the city’s main square, or admiring baroque architecture like Capilla del Rosario.
Machu Picchu
Spring is a time of transition (过渡) at Machu Picchu. Tourists looking for ideal weather can book a trip in May, the beginning of this Peruvian heritage site’s dry season. No matter when you visit, you’ ll be glad you have come as you set eyes on the 600-year-old Inca Citadel, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Yellowstone National Park
As the snowfall starts to slow down, baby animals emerge in Yellowstone, making this national park an excellent place to spot wildlife in spring. Tourists can hike on the lower elevation (高度) trails that open in April and May, while those who love mammals can keep their eyes peeled forbears coming out of hibernation with their cubs.
Arches National Park
You’ll be comfortable while exploring the park’s 2,000 arches or biking along its scenic paved roads. If you’re willing to risk a cold front, you can avoid the crowds during a March trip. During the peak months of April and May, all park visitors will need a reservation to enter — an easy trade — off for perfect weather and seeing desert blooms sprout.
21. What is the advantage of travelling in spring?
A. Tourists will feel more secure. B. There are fewer crowds.
C. More tourist sites are available. D. It’s fun to enjoy the last days of snow.
22. Which destination requires advance booking in peak season?
A. Puebla. B. Machu Picchu.
C. Yellowstone National Park. D. Arches National Park.
23. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. Reservation announcement. B. Science report.
C. News website. D. Travel magazine.
B
Last Tuesday, I had my first ride in an autonomous car. The anticipation for me was a bit like a kid waiting for holidays. But when I shared my passion with friends, many warned me to make sure my life insurance was paid in full before getting into the car.
The car looked pretty much like any other car on the road. The most amazing thing about the experience was how un-amazing it was. I' ll admit to being a bit disappointed at how normal it all seemed. I'm ready for a car with no driving wheel (方向盘) and a meeting table in the back. But it'll be a long time before most people are ready to go there. That's why the self-driving engineers want to create a comforting sense of lasting. They think it may take 25 years before we get fully autonomous cars. But whenever it arrives, the autonomous driving felt like just another baby step in a line of continuous progress rather than seeming like a great step forward.
That's because the plan is a combination of human and autonomous driving. The car I experienced is designed for highway driving. If the human driver doesn't respond in time, the autonomous driver assumes something is wrong and carefully guides the car to the shoulder. At any point, however, all the driver has to do to regain control is touch the wheel or brake (刹车).
This combination will let the autonomous car industry grow one step at a time so that society gets comfortable with it. The earliest consumer models will probably handle only certain tasks like highway driving and parking. Humans will still be responsible for the more challenging steps like dealing with side streets. Gradually, over a period of many years, the role of the human driver will wind down.
24. How did the author's friends react to his self-driving?
A. They thought highly of it. B. They were curious about it.
C. They cared about his insurance. D. They thought it was unreliable.
25. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A. The author was disappointed at the car.
B. The engineers express their anxiety.
C. All the people don't accept self-driving cars.
D. The car was equipped with modern comforts.
26. Why does the author think fully autonomous driving is only a small step?
A. It poses a threat to humans. B. Human driving still matters.
C. It lacks a sense of comfort. D. It only targets highway drivers.
27. Which of the following best describes the combination of human and autonomous driving?
A. Demanding. B. Challenging. C. Inspirational. D. Progressive.
C
The eyes are more than a window to the soul — they’re also a reflection of a person’s cognitive (认知的) health. Research has been exploring how the eyes may help in diagnosing (诊断) Alzheimer’s disease before symptoms (症状) begin.
“Alzheimer’s disease begins in the brain decades before the first symptoms of memory loss,” said Dr. Richard Isaacson, an Alzheimer’s preventive neurologist at the Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases. If doctors are able to identify the disease in its earliest stages, people could then make healthy lifestyle choices and control their “risk factors, like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes,” Isaacson said.
Then how early can we see signs of cognitive decline? To find it out, a recent study examined donated tissue from the retina (视网膜) and brains of 86 people with different degrees of mental decline. “Our study is the first to provide in-depth analyses of the protein profiles and the molecular, cellular, and structural effects of Alzheimer’s disease in the human retina and how they correspond with changes in the brain and cognitive function,” said senior author Maya Koronyo-Hamaoui, a professor of neurosurgery and biomedical sciences at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles.
Researchers in the study collected retinal and brain tissue samples over 14 years from 86 human donors with Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive damage—the largest group of retinal samples ever studied according to the authors. Researchers then compared samples from donors with normal cognitive function to those with mild cognitive damage and those with later-stage Alzheimer’s disease.
The study, published in February in the journal Acta Neuropathologica, found significant increases in beta-amyloid, a key marker of Alzheimer’s disease, in people with both Alzheimer’s and early cognitive decline.
“These findings may eventually lead to the development of imaging techniques that allow us to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease earlier and more accurately,” Isaacson said, “and monitor its progression by looking through the eyes.”
28. What can eyes help do according to the recent study?
A. Convey people’s feelings. B. Show people’s lifestyle choices.
C. Indicate people’s physical decline. D. Reflect people’s cognitive function changes.
29 What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The plan for the study. B. The process of the study.
C. The reason for the study. D. The method of the study.
30 How was the study conducted?
A. By conducting a detailed survey about human retina.
B. By making a comparison between samples from different donors.
C. By asking and answering questions about the changes in the brain.
D. By keeping track of participants to collect their data within a decade.
31. What do Isaacson’s words imply in the last paragraph?
A. Alzheimer’s disease can be cured by reducing risk factors.
B. Alzheimer’s disease can be spotted before symptoms start by examining the eyes.
C. Alzheimer’s disease begins in the brain years after the first symptoms of memory loss.
D. Scientists have developed imaging techniques to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease.
D
For thousands of years, Chinese writers have travelled all over the country to take down notes about the geographical conditions of each city. Among them, well-known Chinese geographer and writer Li Daoyuan, in the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534), composed his book, Commentary on the Water Classics, after studying the original literary version, Water Classics. He later expanded the river records to 1, 252 from the original 137.
The book is now being studied again by Professor Li Xiaojie and his team from Fudan University. They have been using drawing software and 3D modelling to recreate the waterway situations on a map based on the book description. So far, they have completed research on four rivers.
“Ancient people knew really well how to apply the power of nature to technical considerations,”Li said, giving the example of Qianjin’e, one of the most famous ancient water conservation projects in Luoyang, Henan. In order to lead the river into the city for irrigation (灌溉) in ancient Luoyang, the officials built a canal branch by separating a northwest-southeast river. However, the canal water wasn't enough to support the citizens in dry seasons. To solve that, on the northern side of the canal branch, the officials built a reservoir (水库) and a channel to lead the water to the canal branch, where the waterways would converge and flow together to the city.
In Commentary on the Water Classics, a total of 2, 800 cities are recorded with details. Still, the process of recreation takes much effort. After doing a lot of text analysis and fieldwork, the team has gradually created the model with 3D modelling software based on repeated deductions (推论).
For Professor Li, the book is not only a record of the natural landscape over 1, 000 years ago, but also a detailed description of humanity and culture and a treasure for today’s reference.
32. What can we learn about the book Commentary on the Water Classics?
A. It has been out of date. B. It explains 3D modelling.
C. It keeps records of 137 rivers. D. It is based on previous studies.
33. What does the underlined word “converge” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Join. B. Pass. C. Cross. D. Begin.
34. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about model recreation?
A. Its major problems. B. Its detailed analysis.
C. Its complex process. D. Its successful application.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. 3D Technology Fuels Modern Research
B. Ancient Classics Inspire Modern Research
C. An Effective Approach to Model Recreation
D. A Famous Writer of Chinese Ancient Classics

67. 阅读下列材料,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。
My dog, Molly, ran after me as I walked to my car that fall morning. I had had her only a couple of weeks, but we had become nearly inseparable. I’d gone through heart surgery a few months back. I figured taking care of a dog would keep me active. So I went to the local animal-rescue center. The little dog shaking slightly in a cage caught my eye right away. I could tell she longed to be picked up and hugged.
I went to talk to the shelter worker. “She just came in,” the woman told me. “Her name is Molly.” The worker opened Molly’s cage and let me pick her up. I stroked her silky fur and she stopped shaking. I filled out the paperwork and took Molly home.
That fall morning last year I decided to take Molly with me for shopping. I opened the door. “Come on, Molly. Let’s go.” She jumped into the car and settled down on the passenger seat. I got behind the wheel and started the car.
We live in a remote area up in the hills outside San Rafael, California. You have to drive up the mountain in low gear (低速挡) to get to our driveway, which is barely wide enough for one car and ends at a steep valley.
I twisted around and backed up slowly. Just then, a flash of sunlight blinded me. I put my hand up to shield my eyes. “Oh, no! The edge!” I shouted. The car slipped in the soft soil, and rolled. I fell inside the car as it turned over down the valley. The car rolled faster. Four, five, six rolls until I heard a horrible crunch. We landed upside down. I looked over to find Molly. She was still in the passenger seat and, thankfully, she was okay.
“Sorry, girl,” I gasped. Something was wrong with my left leg. I grabbed my cell phone but just as I had feared, I couldn’t get a signal. Now what? There was a hole in the driver’s side rear window. It was small, but just maybe…
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I gently put Molly’s body through the hole.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The voice was from Robin, my neighbor.

【原文】And now, the evening news.
A traffic accident on the 101 South in Los Angeles has caused a major traffic jam. No deaths have been reported, but four people have been taken to the hospital. In the meantime, we advise drivers to take the 405 North instead. But prepare to be at least one hour behind schedule this afternoon if you’re in the area. Better yet, just stay indoors and don’t drive at all!
A new planet was discovered early this morning by scientists at the New Mexico Observation Tower. The planet, named NM 451 for now, is about 1200 light years away from earth. Still, the scientists hope that this planet might tell them something about whether life might exist somewhere else in outer space. A picture of the new planet can be seen on our website.
A dog is being called a hero after saving a three-year-old child yesterday in a park in Glasgow, Scotland. Mr. and Mrs. Darvish, the owners of the dog, were relaxing in MacIntosh Park when they noticed that their son Joseph was missing. Their dog Pancho started barking and making a lot of noise. The dog ran away and kept looking back at his owners. When the couple finally followed Pancho, he led them straight to a small lake, where their son was about to go in the water. The couple was able to get to their son in time, and Pancho got his picture in the paper…plus a nice steak from the meat shop!

As the snow begins to melt away into a distant memory, be sure to head outdoors this spring. Before the peak summer crowds roll in, you can explore unique scenic spots without the overwhelming rush of tourists. Several destinations around the globe are especially notable for their breathtaking spring offerings.
Puebla
This city in central Mexico attracts visitors with its UNESCO-recognized historic structures. Spring marks the final few months of Puebla’s dry season and temperatures average around 21℃ — just right for wandering through the city’s main square, or admiring baroque architecture like Capilla del Rosario.
Machu Picchu
Spring is a time of transition (过渡) at Machu Picchu. Tourists looking for ideal weather can book a trip in May, the beginning of this Peruvian heritage site’s dry season. No matter when you visit, you’ ll be glad you have come as you set eyes on the 600-year-old Inca Citadel, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Yellowstone National Park
As the snowfall starts to slow down, baby animals emerge in Yellowstone, making this national park an excellent place to spot wildlife in spring. Tourists can hike on the lower elevation (高度) trails that open in April and May, while those who love mammals can keep their eyes peeled forbears coming out of hibernation with their cubs.
Arches National Park
You’ll be comfortable while exploring the park’s 2,000 arches or biking along its scenic paved roads. If you’re willing to risk a cold front, you can avoid the crowds during a March trip. During the peak months of April and May, all park visitors will need a reservation to enter — an easy trade — off for perfect weather and seeing desert blooms sprout.
21. What is the advantage of travelling in spring?
A. Tourists will feel more secure. B. There are fewer crowds.
C. More tourist sites are available. D. It’s fun to enjoy the last days of snow.

Last Tuesday, I had my first ride in an autonomous car. The anticipation for me was a bit like a kid waiting for holidays. But when I shared my passion with friends, many warned me to make sure my life insurance was paid in full before getting into the car.
The car looked pretty much like any other car on the road. The most amazing thing about the experience was how un-amazing it was. I' ll admit to being a bit disappointed at how normal it all seemed. I'm ready for a car with no driving wheel (方向盘) and a meeting table in the back. But it'll be a long time before most people are ready to go there. That's why the self-driving engineers want to create a comforting sense of lasting. They think it may take 25 years before we get fully autonomous cars. But whenever it arrives, the autonomous driving felt like just another baby step in a line of continuous progress rather than seeming like a great step forward.
That's because the plan is a combination of human and autonomous driving. The car I experienced is designed for highway driving. If the human driver doesn't respond in time, the autonomous driver assumes something is wrong and carefully guides the car to the shoulder. At any point, however, all the driver has to do to regain control is touch the wheel or brake (刹车).
This combination will let the autonomous car industry grow one step at a time so that society gets comfortable with it. The earliest consumer models will probably handle only certain tasks like highway driving and parking. Humans will still be responsible for the more challenging steps like dealing with side streets. Gradually, over a period of many years, the role of the human driver will wind down.
24. How did the author's friends react to his self-driving?
A. They thought highly of it. B. They were curious about it.
C. They cared about his insurance. D. They thought it was unreliable.
25. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A. The author was disappointed at the car.
B. The engineers express their anxiety.
C. All the people don't accept self-driving cars.
D. The car was equipped with modern comforts.
26. Why does the author think fully autonomous driving is only a small step?
A. It poses a threat to humans. B. Human driving still matters.
C. It lacks a sense of comfort. D. It only targets highway drivers.
27. Which of the following best describes the combination of human and autonomous driving?
A. Demanding. B. Challenging. C. Inspirational. D. Progressive.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者首次搭乘无人驾驶汽车的经历以及由此产生的感想和领悟。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But when I shared my passion with friends, many warned me to make sure my life insurance was paid in full before getting into the car. (但当我和朋友们分享我的激情时,许多人警告我,在上车之前,要确保我的人寿保险已经全额支付。)”可知,作者的许多朋友警告作者,乘坐无人驾驶汽车之前要先确认保险已经全额支付。因此,他们认为自动驾驶是不值得信赖的。故选D。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I'm ready for a car with no driving wheel (方向盘) and a meeting table in the back. But it'll be a long time before most people are ready to go there. (我已经准备好要一辆没有方向盘、后面有会议桌的车了。但要让大多数人准备好去那里还需要很长时间。)”可知,大部分人还没有做好迎接无人驾驶汽车时代的准备。由此可推知,不是每个人都能接受自动驾驶汽车。故选C。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“If the human driver doesn’t respond in time, the autonomous driver assumes something is wrong and carefully guides the car to the shoulder. At any point, however, all the driver has to do to regain control is touch the wheel or brake. (如果人类驾驶员没有及时做出反应,自动驾驶员就会认为出了问题,并小心翼翼地将汽车引导到路肩。然而,在任何时候,驾驶员要想重新获得控制权,只需触摸方向盘或刹车即可。)”可知,作者认为人类驾驶员仍然发挥至关重要的作用,因此无人驾驶的进步只是很小的一步。故选B。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“This combination will let the autonomous car industry grow one step at a time so that society gets comfortable with it. (这种结合将使自动驾驶汽车行业一步一步地发展,这样社会就会对它感到满意。)”以及“Gradually, over a period of many years, the role of the human driver will wind down. (经过许多年的时间,人类驾驶员的作用将逐渐减弱。)”可知,这种结合让自动驾驶行业进一步发展,慢慢地人类驾驶员的作用将逐渐减弱,所以这种结合是一种进步。故选D。
C
The eyes are more than a window to the soul — they’re also a reflection of a person’s cognitive (认知的) health. Research has been exploring how the eyes may help in diagnosing (诊断) Alzheimer’s disease before symptoms (症状) begin.
“Alzheimer’s disease begins in the brain decades before the first symptoms of memory loss,” said Dr. Richard Isaacson, an Alzheimer’s preventive neurologist at the Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases. If doctors are able to identify the disease in its earliest stages, people could then make healthy lifestyle choices and control their “risk factors, like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes,” Isaacson said.
Then how early can we see signs of cognitive decline? To find it out, a recent study examined donated tissue from the retina (视网膜) and brains of 86 people with different degrees of mental decline. “Our study is the first to provide in-depth analyses of the protein profiles and the molecular, cellular, and structural effects of Alzheimer’s disease in the human retina and how they correspond with changes in the brain and cognitive function,” said senior author Maya Koronyo-Hamaoui, a professor of neurosurgery and biomedical sciences at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles.
Researchers in the study collected retinal and brain tissue samples over 14 years from 86 human donors with Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive damage—the largest group of retinal samples ever studied, according to the authors. Researchers then compared samples from donors with normal cognitive function to those with mild cognitive damage and those with later-stage Alzheimer’s disease.
The study, published in February in the journal Acta Neuropathologica, found significant increases in beta-amyloid, a key marker of Alzheimer’s disease, in people with both Alzheimer’s and early cognitive decline.
“These findings may eventually lead to the development of imaging techniques that allow us to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease earlier and more accurately,” Isaacson said, “and monitor its progression by looking through the eyes.”
28. What can eyes help do according to the recent study?
A. Convey people’s feelings. B. Show people’s lifestyle choices.
C. Indicate people’s physical decline. D. Reflect people’s cognitive function changes.
29. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The plan for the study. B. The process of the study.
C. The reason for the study. D. The method of the study.
30. How was the study conducted?
A. By conducting a detailed survey about human retina.
B. By making a comparison between samples from different donors.
C. By asking and answering questions about the changes in the brain.
D. By keeping track of participants to collect their data within a decade.
31. What do Isaacson’s words imply in the last paragraph?
A. Alzheimer’s disease can be cured by reducing risk factors.
B. Alzheimer’s disease can be spotted before symptoms start by examining the eyes.
C. Alzheimer’s disease begins in the brain years after the first symptoms of memory loss.
D. Scientists have developed imaging techniques to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. B
【解析】

Research has been exploring how the eyes may help in diagnosing (诊断) Alzheimer’s disease before symptoms (症状) begin.(眼睛不仅仅是灵魂的窗户,也是一个人认知健康的反映。研究一直在探索眼睛如何在症状开始之前帮助诊断阿尔茨海默病)”和第三段中“Our study is the first to provide in-depth analyses of the protein profiles and the molecular, cellular, and structural effects of Alzheimer’s disease in the human retina and how they correspond with changes in the brain and cognitive function(我们的研究首次深入分析了阿尔茨海默病在人类视网膜中的蛋白质谱和分子、细胞和结构效应,以及它们如何与大脑和认知功能的变化相对应)”可知,文章首段指出眼睛是认知健康的“反映”,并提到研究探索眼睛如何帮助在症状出现前诊断阿尔茨海默病,下文进一步说明研究发现视网膜中的β-淀粉样蛋白与认知功能变化相关,眼睛能反映人们认知功能的变化。故选D项。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。由第二段““Alzheimer’s disease begins in the brain decades before the first symptoms of memory loss,” said Dr. Richard Isaacson, an Alzheimer’s preventive neurologist at the Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases. If doctors are able to identify the disease in its earliest stages, people could then make healthy lifestyle choices and control their “risk factors, like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes,” Isaacson said.(神经退行性疾病研究所的阿尔茨海默氏症预防神经学家Richard Isaacson博士说:“阿尔茨海默氏症在记忆丧失的最初症状出现前几十年就开始在大脑中出现。”艾萨克森说,如果医生能够在疾病的早期阶段识别出这种疾病,人们就可以做出健康的生活方式选择,并控制他们的“风险因素,如高血压、高胆固醇和糖尿病”)”可知,第二段引用Isaacson的观点,强调阿尔茨海默病在症状出现前几十年已潜伏,早期诊断可帮助人们控制风险因素,此段主要解释为何需要研究早期诊断方法,即说明研究的原因。故选C项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段“Researchers in the study collected retinal and brain tissue samples over 14 years from 86 human donors with Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive damage — the largest group of retinal samples ever studied, according to the authors.

【31题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段““These findings may eventually lead to the development of imaging techniques that allow us to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease earlier and more accurately,” Isaacson said, “and monitor its progression by looking through the eyes.”(艾萨克森说:“这些发现最终可能会导致成像技术的发展,使我们能够更早、更准确地诊断阿尔茨海默病,并通过眼睛观察来监测其进展。”)”可知,Isaacson在末段提到的内容,其隐含的结论是未来可能通过眼部检查实现症状前的早期发现。故选B项。
D
For thousands of years, Chinese writers have travelled all over the country to take down notes about the geographical conditions of each city. Among them, well-known Chinese geographer and writer Li Daoyuan, in the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534), composed his book, Commentary on the Water Classics, after studying the original literary version, Water Classics. He later expanded the river records to 1, 252 from the original 137.
The book is now being studied again by Professor Li Xiaojie and his team from Fudan University. They have been using drawing software and 3D modelling to recreate the waterway situations on a map based on the book description. So far, they have completed research on four rivers.
“Ancient people knew really well how to apply the power of nature to technical considerations,”Li said, giving the example of Qianjin’e, one of the most famous ancient water conservation projects in Luoyang, Henan. In order to lead the river into the city for irrigation (灌溉) in ancient Luoyang, the officials built a canal branch by separating a northwest-southeast river. However, the canal water wasn't enough to support the citizens in dry seasons. To solve that, on the northern side of the canal branch, the officials built a reservoir (水库) and a channel to lead the water to the canal branch, where the waterways would converge and flow together to the city.
In Commentary on the Water Classics, a total of 2, 800 cities are recorded with details. Still, the process of recreation takes much effort. After doing a lot of text analysis and fieldwork, the team has gradually created the model with 3D modelling software based on repeated deductions (推论).
For Professor Li, the book is not only a record of the natural landscape over 1, 000 years ago, but also a detailed description of humanity and culture and a treasure for today’s reference.
32. What can we learn about the book Commentary on the Water Classics?
A. It has been out of date. B. It explains 3D modelling.
C. It keeps records of 137 rivers. D. It is based on previous studies.
33. What does the underlined word “converge” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Join. B. Pass. C. Cross. D. Begin.
34. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about model recreation?
A. Its major problems. B. Its detailed analysis.
C. Its complex process. D. Its successful application.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. 3D Technology Fuels Modern Research
B. Ancient Classics Inspire Modern Research
C. An Effective Approach to Model Recreation
D. A Famous Writer of Chinese Ancient Classics
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要讲述了复旦大学李晓杰教授及其团队根据古代著作《水经注》的描述,使用绘图软件和3D建模重现了水道情况。

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲述了金砖国家诗人在中国浙江富春江沿岸进行的一次诗歌创作之旅,以及由此产生的诗集《Messengers from the Vernal Wood》的发布和意义。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:7月,来自金砖国家的诗人沿着这条河旅行,创作诗歌的灵感来自于它的美丽。句中谓语是traveled,空格处用非谓语动词, poems与inspire之间为逻辑上的被动关系,空格处用过去分词表被动,作后置定语,故填inspired。
【57题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:他们的诗作被收录在诗集《Messengers from the Vernal Wood》中,该诗集在法兰克福书展上发布,记录了诗人们在为期六天的中国之行期间进行的文化交流。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词Messengers from the Vernal Wood是诗集,因此用关系代词which引导定语从句,故填which。
【58题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:这本诗集由《诗刊》社汇编,收录了来自九个国家的49位国际诗人的作品,每位诗人的作品均以他们的母语和中文呈现,同时还收录了23位中国诗人的作品,这些作品被译成了英文。空格处是谓语,句子描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时,主语this collection是单数,因此空格处用第三人称单数,故填includes。
【59题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:这本诗集由《诗刊》社汇编,收录了来自九个国家的49位国际诗人的作品,每位诗人的作品均以他们的母语和中文呈现,同时还收录了23位中国诗人的作品,这些作品被译成了英文。空前有nine,空格处用复数countries,故填countries。
【60题详解】
考查时态,被动语态和主谓一致。句意:这是中国首次为金砖国家举办国际诗歌节,给这些诗人留下了深刻印象。This is the first time that...句型中that从句中用现在完成时,诗歌节是被举办,因此空格处是现在完成时的被动语态,主语an international poetry festival是单数,因此空格处是has been held,故填has been held。
【61题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这是中国首次为金砖国家举办国际诗歌节,给这些诗人留下了深刻印象。leave a deep impression on...是固定短语,意为“留下深刻印象”,因此空格处用a,故填a。
【62题详解】
考查副词。句意:他说:“我被这条河的美丽和中国诗人对自然的共同热爱深深吸引了。”空格处用副词incredibly修饰动词fascinated,incredibly意为“非常地,极其”,故填incredibly。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意:编辑李少君指出,诗歌作为一种通用语言,不仅可以弥合不同文化之间的边界,还可以促进情感联系和理解。serve as是固定短语,意为“作为”,因此空格处用介词as,故填as。
【64题详解】
考查不定式。句意:编辑李少君指出,诗歌作为一种通用语言,不仅可以弥合不同文化之间的边界,还可以促进情感联系和理解。not only...but also...是固定搭配,意为“不仅……而且……”,连接的两部分形式一致,由前面的to bridge可知,空格处用不定式,故填to facilitate。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:李希望这本诗集能证明诗歌的力量,促进这些诗人之间的思想交流,从而提高诗歌活动在他们社区中的吸引力。句中谓语是will foster,空格处用非谓语动词,此处用现在分词作状语,表自然而然的结果,故填enhancing。

2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。
Dear Mike,

Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】Dear Mike,
I’m exceedingly excited to hear about your participation in the Chinese poetry creation competition. While AI tools can provide inspiration and help with sentence-building, they also come with drawbacks.
On the one hand, AI’s data-driven approaches can enhance efficiency by suggesting rhymes and classical imagery, which provide creative sparks. However, over-reliance on AI tools may lead to general expressions lacking emotional and cultural depth. On the other hand, Chinese poetry attaches great importance to profound feelings and cultural connotations, which AI can’t fully grasp due to cross-cultural differences. Consequently, I propose you compose your original works with AI tools if necessary.
Best regards! Looking forward to your good news.
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节 (满分25分)
67. 阅读下列材料,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。
My dog, Molly, ran after me as I walked to my car that fall morning. I had had her only a couple of weeks, but we had become nearly inseparable. I’d gone through heart surgery a few months back. I figured taking care of a dog would keep me active. So I went to the local animal-rescue center. The little dog shaking slightly in a cage caught my eye right away. I could tell she longed to be picked up and hugged.
I went to talk to the shelter worker. “She just came in,” the woman told me. “Her name is Molly.” The worker opened Molly’s cage and let me pick her up. I stroked her silky fur and she stopped shaking. I filled out the paperwork and took Molly home.
That fall morning last year I decided to take Molly with me for shopping. I opened the door. “Come on, Molly. Let’s go.” She jumped into the car and settled down on the passenger seat. I got behind the wheel and started the car.
We live in a remote area up in the hills outside San Rafael, California. You have to drive up the mountain in low gear (低速挡) to get to our driveway, which is barely wide enough for one car and ends at a steep valley.
I twisted around and backed up slowly. Just then, a flash of sunlight blinded me. I put my hand up to shield my eyes. “Oh, no! The edge!” I shouted. The car slipped in the soft soil, and rolled. I fell inside the car as it turned over down the valley. The car rolled faster. Four, five, six rolls until I heard a horrible crunch. We landed upside down. I looked over to find Molly. She was still in the passenger seat and, thankfully, she was okay.
“Sorry, girl,” I gasped. Something was wrong with my left leg. I grabbed my cell phone but just as I had feared, I couldn’t get a signal. Now what? There was a hole in the driver’s side rear window. It was small, but just maybe…
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I gently put Molly’s body through the hole.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The voice was from Robin, my neighbor.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 I gently put Molly’s body through the hole. “Go home, baby,” I said. Molly jumped to the ground and raced up the side of the valley. My heart beat fast in my chest, so I took a pill. I shouted, but knew that wouldn’t make any difference. No one would hear. A sense of helplessness flooded over me. I sat there for hours and couldn’t feel anything in my left leg. When the last bit of light filtering through the leaves faded away, I heard a voice calling my name.
The voice was from Robin, my neighbor. “Help!” I shouted with all my strength. “Are you all right?” Robin yelled back. “I just called the police!” It seemed only minutes later I heard an ambulance approaching. The rescue crew sent me to a hospital without any delay. After all sorts of tests in the hospital, a doctor told me there was nothing serious. Molly got right up next to me on my bed. I suddenly realized that true treasures in life are often found in the companions we choose along the way.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,以人物和狗为线索。作者领养了一只名叫Molly的狗,一天作者开车带Molly外出,一不小心车辆翻入山谷。作者把Molly送出车外,Molly找到了救援,成功让作者脱困。
【详解】1. 续写线索:
①由续写第一段首句“我轻轻地将Molly的身体穿过洞。”可知,第一段可以描写作者将Molly送出车外后,自己在车里等待救援的情况,以及自己听到了前来救援的声音。
②由续写第二段首句“声音来自我的邻居Robin。”可知,第二段可以描写作者得救以及感悟。
2. 段落续写:将Molly送出车外——自己困在车中的感受——救援到达——送医——感悟
3. 词汇激活:
行为类
①呼喊:shout/yell/call out
②减弱:fade away/weaken
③靠近:approach/come to
④选择:choose/opt for
情绪类
突然:suddenly/abruptly
【点睛】【高分句型1】When the last bit of light filtering through the leaves faded away, I heard a voice calling my name.(使用了When引导时间状语从句、现在分词分别作后置定语和宾补)
【高分句型2】I suddenly realized that true treasures in life are often found in the companions we choose along the way. (使用了that引导宾语从句、省略关系词的定语从句)
