Norway is filled with museums devoted to different aspects of its unique history. Here are several worth visiting.
Holmenkollen Ski Museum
Open for over a century, Holmenkollen Ski Museum is considered the world’s oldest museum dedicated (专用的) to skiing. And while its collection is various — covering more than 4,000 years of skiing history and including equipment used during polar expeditions by Norwegian explorers in the 1800s and more — its showpiece is the 397-foot ski jump tower just outside its doors. Since 1892, some of the world’s greatest ski jumpers have competed here.
Maihaugen
Located 110 miles north of Oslo, Maihaugen gives a short experience of what life was like for Norwegians from the Middle Ages to today. Having an area of 89 acres, the open-air museum holds a collection belonging to Anders Sandvig. He sold the collection in 1901 and its new owner continued to add something new.
Munch Museum
Most people have heard of Edvard Munch, the Norwegian artist responsible for The Scream — but what they may not realize is that Munch created multiple versions of this work, including two paintings and two pastels. Munch Museum holds one of the paintings, as well as a collection, which includes more than 1,200 paintings, 18,000 prints and six sculptures (雕像) created by the artist.
Vigeland Museum
Gustay Vigeland remains one of Norway’s most well-respected sculptors, and the Vigeland Museum and Park celebrates his artistry with a museum and sculpture park dedicated to his huge body of work. In addition to making hundreds of sculptures, Vigeland also created woodcuts, which are on display alongside some of his smaller works.

T. S. Eliot, was a towering figure in 20th-century English-language poetry and literary criticism. Born in St. Louis, Missouri, on September 26, 1888, Eliot’s early life was marked by a blend of American and British influences. His family was culturally varied, with his mother being a poet and his father a businessman with ties to New England’s Puritan heritage.
Eliot attended Harvard University, where he studied philosophy and Indian religions. During this time, he first began to publish poetry, though it was not until he moved to England in 1914 that his literary career truly took off. In England, he associated with the Bloomsbury Group and worked as a bank clerk by day while pursuing his literary ambitions by night.
Eliot’s poetry is characterized by its depth of intellectual and philosophical inquiry, often drawing on religious and mythological themes. His most famous work, The Waste Land reflects on the spiritual and moral decline of Western civilization after World War I. The poem’s innovative use of fragmentary (碎片化的) quotes, allusions (典故), and imagery from various literary and cultural sources made it a landmark in modernist poetry.
Beyond his poetry, Eliot was also an important figure in literary criticism. His essays, such as Tradition and the Individual Talent and The Metaphysical Poets, helped shape the critical discourse on modern poetry. In these essays, Eliot advocated for a return to order and coherence in poetry, emphasizing the importance of tradition and the need for poets to work within a recognized literary framework.
Eliot received numerous honors throughout his life for his contributions to both poetry and literary criticism, including the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948. Eliot’s personal life was marked by a series of significant relationships and conversions. He converted to Anglicanism in 1927 and later married Vivienne Haigh-Wood, though their marriage was often chaotic. Despite personal struggles, Eliot continued to produce great works, including his Four Quartets, a series of four poems published between 1935 and 1942. He died in London on January 4,1965, leaving behind a legacy that continues to influence writers and scholars to this day.
24. What was a key influence on early T. S. Eliot’s life?
A. His frequent travels in Asia. B. His parents' careers as poets.
C. His education at Oxford University. D. His mixed cultural background.
25. Why is The Waste Land considered a landmark in modernist poetry?
A. It applies traditional narrative structure.
B. It advocates a recognized literary framework.
C. It uses incomplete quotes and cultural references.
D. It demonstrates the poet's rejection of religious themes.
26. Which of the following statements about T. S. Eliot is true?
A. His contributions to literature were acknowledged.
B. He had a harmonious relationship with his wife.
C. His literary career took off at Harvard University.
D. He heavily relied on traditional forms and themes.
27. Which of the following can best describe T. S. Eliot?
A. Sensitive and innocent. B. Ambitious and persistent.
C. Dynamic and traditional. D. Innovative and humorous.
C
The Food and Drug Administration, citing an epidemic of diet-related illness, released new guidelines (准则) Wednesday aimed at reducing the amount of salt that of Americans consumes at restaurants, school cafeterias and trucks, or when they are eating packaged and prepared foods at home. The guidelines targeted manufactures that sell foods made from grains as well as potato chips and French fries.
The recommendations, issued after years of delay, seek to reduce the average daily sodium intake step by step — sodium is the chemical name for salt — by 12% over the next two-and-a-half years by encouraging food manufacturers, restaurants and food service companies to scale back their use of salt.
That goal translates into 3,000 milligrams of salt — slightly more than 1 teaspoon — compared to the 3,400 milligrams that Americans typically consume in a day. American’s love affair with salty foods has been linked to alarmingly high rates of high blood pressure, a leading risk factor for heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure. Much of the excess sodium that Americans consume, about 70% comes from processed and packaged food and meals served at restaurants, according to researcher. The guidance will apply to 163 categories of processed and packaged food and provide different targets for, say, rye bread, salad dressing and baby food.
Nutritionists and public health experts praised the FDA for taking on the problem of excess sodium, saying the effort would help sharpen the public’s focus on the dangers of taking in too much salt and create pressure on food companies to reduce their reliance on salt as a cheap flavor booster.
But many said that voluntary measures were unlikely to move the needle very much. Some experts have suggested compulsory reductions. Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian from Tufts University said a recent study in China suggested the FDA should be firmer with its guidelines. The study showed people who used a salt replacement reduced their chances of stroke and heart problems compared to those who used regular salt. Mozaffarian said the effect of the sodium guidelines will depend on how well the FDA monitors food companies and their progress.
28. Why did the FDA release new guidelines?
A. To increase salt consumption in schools.
B. To ban all processed foods made from grains.
C To cut down salt intake in various food sources.
D. To promote the sale of potato chips and French fries.
29. What is true about the FDA’s guidelines?
A. It will be carried out gradually. B. It concerns homemade food.
C. It involves all food companies. D. It will apply one target to all food.
30. What do the underlined words “move the needle” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Bring about changes. B. Encourage people to eat out.
C. Replace the tradition. D. Threaten the food companies.
31. What is Mozaffarian’s attitude toward the FDA guidelines?
A. Strongly critical. B. Cautiously supportive.
C. Fully approving. D. Thoroughly indifferent.
D
On Sept.21,2024, scientists announced that Arctic sea (北冰洋) ice has already lost two-thirds of its amount over the past four decades. It is part of a shocking trend in polar heating that is already seeing impacts across the globe.
Throughout the spring and summer, Arctic sea ice melted away faster than it usually does, causing the largest loss of Arctic sea ice cover since satellite records began in the 1970s. The year 2024’ s minimum was reached on Sept. 15, at 3.74 million m² compared with the previous 4.17 million m² set in 2007.
What’s causing this loss of sea ice? The short answer is our heating climate. A recent study showed that the influence of heat has more than doubled over the past decade or so, which means the melting of nearly a meter thickness of sea ice each year.
The biggest effects of the loss of Arctic sea ice, of course, will be felt locally: from the more possible snowfall to more storms with stronger winds. These will also cause waves as well as rising temperatures. In fact, the increased temperatures transformed northern forests into tinderboxes (易燃物) ready to burn. That melt also means polar bears are losing critical habitat and Inuit hunters are losing ice to preserve their traditions and culture.
On a larger scale, the greatest impact may be the changes in the Arctic’s ability to function as a cooling system for the global ocean. A warmer Arctic will affect the temperature differences between the northern polar region and areas further south. That may, in turn, create stronger heat waves, droughts, floods and potential impacts on farming. And all of us will be more exposed to the disastrous effects of climate breakdown.
We need to hit the reset button right now, on how we look after each other and Arctic sea ice to help our planet cope with the climate breakdown.
32. What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs?
A. Ice loss slowed between 2007 and 2024.
B. Pre-1970s’ data matched recent ice loss.
C. 2024 ice minimum was 2/3 that of 2007's.
D. Arctic ice minimum has worsened recently.
33. What may happen due to the Arctic sea ice loss?
A. The reduction of snowfall. B. The global climate emergency.
C. The direct outbreak of forest fires. D. The disappearance of Inuit hunters.
34. What does the writer intend to do in the last paragraph?
A. To stress the importance of Arctic sea. B. To warn people of the possible risks.
C. To urge quick action to protect Arctic. D. To put forward some useful measures.
35. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. The earth is facing a catastrophe. B. Climate breakdown is on the way.
C. Arctic sea ice is important for mankind. D. Global heating sees Arctic sea ice loss.

67. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
I went up to the roof for a break after studying for an hour and watched the 50 or so people swimming in the natural rock pool below our house. It was a sunny day--a blue cloudless sky over a calm sea. But then, as I looked in the distance, I discovered three or four big waves heading towards the shore. I'd seen these mini-tsunamis(海啸) many times before. They were heading at speed in the direction of the pool. Most people knew how to look out for them, but from the screams that started coming from the beach, I could tell someone was in trouble.
Without thinking, I ran down into the street, holding my body board(俯伏冲浪板) on the way and shouted at a stranger to go inside my house and call the coastguard. My neighbor Moises had heard the screaming as well and was also outside with his body board, so together we rushed to the steps that led down to the sea.
Once we got closer, we discovered the waves had pulled a boy and a girl from the pool and into the open sea. I knew that the nearest boat would take at least 30 minutes to reach us. Waiting for help wasn't a choice. I wasn't used to this sort of emergency--I’d never been trained as a lifeguard-but I didn't think twice about trying to save them. I supposed in a way I wanted to impress everyone: at 19, a deal like that can seem like a good opportunity to show off.
Moises and I dived into the water and it took us 10 minutes to get to them. When we finally reached them, they were almost lifeless with only their heads coming in and out of the water. We could tell they were still alive from their small breaths but it was clear they wouldn't have been able to stay there much longer. I held the boy and pulled him over my board. Moises moved the girl onto his board. We discussed pushing them back to the shore, but we were too far out.
注意:
1.所续写的短文词数应为150左右;

Paragraph 1:
We had to wait.

Norway is filled with museums devoted to different aspects of its unique history. Here are several worth visiting.
Holmenkollen Ski Museum
Open for over a century, Holmenkollen Ski Museum is considered the world’s oldest museum dedicated (专用的) to skiing. And while its collection is various — covering more than 4,000 years of skiing history and including equipment used during polar expeditions by Norwegian explorers in the 1800s and more — its showpiece is the 397-foot ski jump tower just outside its doors. Since 1892, some of the world’s greatest ski jumpers have competed here.
Maihaugen
Located 110 miles north of Oslo, Maihaugen gives a short experience of what life was like for Norwegians from the Middle Ages to today. Having an area of 89 acres, the open-air museum holds a collection belonging to Anders Sandvig. He sold the collection in 1901 and its new owner continued to add something new.
Munch Museum
Most people have heard of Edvard Munch, the Norwegian artist responsible for The Scream — but what they may not realize is that Munch created multiple versions of this work, including two paintings and two pastels. Munch Museum holds one of the paintings, as well as a collection, which includes more than 1,200 paintings, 18,000 prints and six sculptures (雕像) created by the artist.
Vigeland Museum
Gustay Vigeland remains one of Norway’s most well-respected sculptors, and the Vigeland Museum and Park celebrates his artistry with a museum and sculpture park dedicated to his huge body of work. In addition to making hundreds of sculptures, Vigeland also created woodcuts, which are on display alongside some of his smaller works.

T. S. Eliot, was a towering figure in 20th-century English-language poetry and literary criticism. Born in St. Louis, Missouri, on September 26, 1888, Eliot’s early life was marked by a blend of American and British influences. His family was culturally varied, with his mother being a poet and his father a businessman with ties to New England’s Puritan heritage.
Eliot attended Harvard University, where he studied philosophy and Indian religions. During this time, he first began to publish poetry, though it was not until he moved to England in 1914 that his literary career truly took off. In England, he associated with the Bloomsbury Group and worked as a bank clerk by day while pursuing his literary ambitions by night.
Eliot’s poetry is characterized by its depth of intellectual and philosophical inquiry, often drawing on religious and mythological themes. His most famous work, The Waste Land reflects on the spiritual and moral decline of Western civilization after World War I. The poem’s innovative use of fragmentary (碎片化的) quotes, allusions (典故), and imagery from various literary and cultural sources made it a landmark in modernist poetry.
Beyond his poetry, Eliot was also an important figure in literary criticism. His essays, such as Tradition and the Individual Talent and The Metaphysical Poets, helped shape the critical discourse on modern poetry. In these essays, Eliot advocated for a return to order and coherence in poetry, emphasizing the importance of tradition and the need for poets to work within a recognized literary framework.
Eliot received numerous honors throughout his life for his contributions to both poetry and literary criticism, including the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948. Eliot’s personal life was marked by a series of significant relationships and conversions. He converted to Anglicanism in 1927 and later married Vivienne Haigh-Wood, though their marriage was often chaotic. Despite personal struggles, Eliot continued to produce great works, including his Four Quartets, a series of four poems published between 1935 and 1942. He died in London on January 4,1965, leaving behind a legacy that continues to influence writers and scholars to this day.
24. What was a key influence on early T. S. Eliot’s life?
A. His frequent travels in Asia. B. His parents' careers as poets.
C. His education at Oxford University. D. His mixed cultural background.
25. Why is The Waste Land considered a landmark in modernist poetry?
A. It applies traditional narrative structure.
B. It advocates a recognized literary framework.
C. It uses incomplete quotes and cultural references.
D. It demonstrates the poet's rejection of religious themes.
26. Which of the following statements about T. S. Eliot is true?

B. He had a harmonious relationship with his wife.
C. His literary career took off at Harvard University.

The Food and Drug Administration, citing an epidemic of diet-related illness, released new guidelines (准则) Wednesday aimed at reducing the amount of salt that of Americans consumes at restaurants, school cafeterias and trucks, or when they are eating packaged and prepared foods at home. The guidelines targeted manufactures that sell foods made from grains as well as potato chips and French fries.
The recommendations, issued after years of delay, seek to reduce the average daily sodium intake step by step — sodium is the chemical name for salt — by 12% over the next two-and-a-half years by encouraging food manufacturers, restaurants and food service companies to scale back their use of salt.
That goal translates into 3,000 milligrams of salt — slightly more than 1 teaspoon — compared to the 3,400 milligrams that Americans typically consume in a day. American’s love affair with salty foods has been linked to alarmingly high rates of high blood pressure, a leading risk factor for heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure. Much of the excess sodium that Americans consume, about 70% comes from processed and packaged food and meals served at restaurants, according to researcher. The guidance will apply to 163 categories of processed and packaged food and provide different targets for, say, rye bread, salad dressing and baby food.
Nutritionists and public health experts praised the FDA for taking on the problem of excess sodium, saying the effort would help sharpen the public’s focus on the dangers of taking in too much salt and create pressure on food companies to reduce their reliance on salt as a cheap flavor booster.
But many said that voluntary measures were unlikely to move the needle very much. Some experts have suggested compulsory reductions. Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian from Tufts University said a recent study in China suggested the FDA should be firmer with its guidelines. The study showed people who used a salt replacement reduced their chances of stroke and heart problems compared to those who used regular salt. Mozaffarian said the effect of the sodium guidelines will depend on how well the FDA monitors food companies and their progress.
28. Why did the FDA release new guidelines?
A. To increase salt consumption in schools.
B. To ban all processed foods made from grains.
C. To cut down salt intake in various food sources.
D. To promote the sale of potato chips and French fries.
29. What is true about the FDA’s guidelines?
A. It will be carried out gradually. B. It concerns homemade food.
C. It involves all food companies. D. It will apply one target to all food.
30. What do the underlined words “move the needle” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Bring about changes. B. Encourage people to eat out.
C. Replace the tradition. D. Threaten the food companies.
31. What is Mozaffarian’s attitude toward the FDA guidelines?
A. Strongly critical. B. Cautiously supportive.
C. Fully approving. D. Thoroughly indifferent.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要讲述美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)发布新准则以减少美国人盐摄入量,并介绍了新准则发布的背景、目标及各方反应。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段内容“The recommendations, issued after years of delay, seek to reduce the average daily sodium intake step by step — sodium is the chemical name for salt — by 12% over the next two-and-a-half years by encouraging food manufacturers, restaurants and food service companies to scale back their use of salt.(这些建议是在拖延多年后发布的,旨在通过鼓励食品制造商、餐馆和食品服务公司减少食盐的使用,在未来两年半内逐步将钠——盐的化学名称——的平均每日摄入量减少12%)”可知,美国食品和药物管理局关于减少盐的摄入量的指导目标是在未来两年半内逐步将盐的平均每日摄入量减少12%,由此可知,美国食品和药物管理局发行新方针是为了减少各种食物的盐摄入量。故选C项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段内容“The recommendations, issued after years of delay, seek to reduce the average daily sodium intake step by step — sodium is the chemical name for salt — by 12% over the next two-and-a-half years by encouraging food manufacturers, restaurants and food service companies to scale back their use of salt.(这些建议是在拖延多年后发布的,旨在通过鼓励食品制造商、餐馆和食品服务公司减少食盐的使用,在未来两年半内逐步将钠——盐的化学名称——的平均每日摄入量减少12%)”可知,美国食品和药物管理局关于减少盐的摄入量的指导目标是在未来两年半内逐步将盐的平均每日摄入量减少12%,由此可知,美国食品和药物管理局关于减少盐摄入量的指导方针将逐步实施。故选A项。
【30题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线短语下文“Some experts have suggested compulsory reductions.(一些专家建议强制减少盐的使用)”可知,专家建议强制减少盐的使用,由此可推断出,自愿措施不太可能起到很大的作用,不会带来太大变化,所以才会建议强制减少盐的使用;“But many said that voluntary measures were unlikely to move the needle very much.(但许多人表示,自愿采取的措施不太可能move the needle very much。)”中的“move the needle very much”指“带来太大变化”,“move the needle”意为“带来变化”,与“Bring about changes”表达意思一致。故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian from Tufts University said a recent study in China suggested the FDA should be firmer with its guidelines. The study showed people who used a salt replacement reduced their chances of stroke and heart problems compared to those who used regular salt. Mozaffarian said the effect of the sodium guidelines will depend on how well the FDA monitors food companies and their progress.(塔夫茨大学(Tufts University)的莫扎法里安(Dariush Mozaffarian)博士说,中国最近的一项研究表明,FDA的指导方针应该更加严格。研究表明,与那些经常食用盐的人相比,使用盐替代品的人中风和心脏病的几率降低了。莫扎法里安说,钠指南的效果将取决于FDA对食品公司及其进展的监督程度。”可知,莫扎法里安博士认为FDA的指导方针应该更加严格,因为研究表明少摄入盐会降低中风和心脏问题的几率,且Mozaffarian认为效果取决于FDA的监管力度,因此推断莫扎法里安(Mozaffarian)对FDA的指导方针的态度是谨慎地支持。故选B项。
D
On Sept.21,2024, scientists announced that Arctic sea (北冰洋) ice has already lost two-thirds of its amount over the past four decades. It is part of a shocking trend in polar heating that is already seeing impacts across the globe.
Throughout the spring and summer, Arctic sea ice melted away faster than it usually does, causing the largest loss of Arctic sea ice cover since satellite records began in the 1970s. The year 2024’ s minimum was reached on Sept. 15, at 3.74 million m² compared with the previous 4.17 million m² set in 2007.
What’s causing this loss of sea ice? The short answer is our heating climate. A recent study showed that the influence of heat has more than doubled over the past decade or so, which means the melting of nearly a meter thickness of sea ice each year.
The biggest effects of the loss of Arctic sea ice, of course, will be felt locally: from the more possible snowfall to more storms with stronger winds. These will also cause waves as well as rising temperatures. In fact, the increased temperatures transformed northern forests into tinderboxes (易燃物) ready to burn. That melt also means polar bears are losing critical habitat and Inuit hunters are losing ice to preserve their traditions and culture.
On a larger scale, the greatest impact may be the changes in the Arctic’s ability to function as a cooling system for the global ocean. A warmer Arctic will affect the temperature differences between the northern polar region and areas further south. That may, in turn, create stronger heat waves, droughts, floods and potential impacts on farming. And all of us will be more exposed to the disastrous effects of climate breakdown.
We need to hit the reset button right now, on how we look after each other and Arctic sea ice to help our planet cope with the climate breakdown.
32. What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs?
A. Ice loss slowed between 2007 and 2024.
B. Pre-1970s’ data matched recent ice loss.
C. 2024 ice minimum was 2/3 that of 2007's.
D. Arctic ice minimum has worsened recently.
33. What may happen due to the Arctic sea ice loss?
A. The reduction of snowfall. B. The global climate emergency.
C. The direct outbreak of forest fires. D. The disappearance of Inuit hunters.
34. What does the writer intend to do in the last paragraph?
A. To stress the importance of Arctic sea. B. To warn people of the possible risks.
C. To urge quick action to protect Arctic. D. To put forward some useful measures.
35. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. The earth is facing a catastrophe. B. Climate breakdown is on the way.
C. Arctic sea ice is important for mankind. D. Global heating sees Arctic sea ice loss.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. D

细节理解题。根据第一段“On Sept.21,2024, scientists announced that Arctic sea ice has already lost two-thirds of its amount over the past four decades. It is part of a shocking trend in polar heating that is already seeing impacts across the globe.(2024年9月21日,科学家宣布,在过去四十年里,北冰洋海冰已经减少了三分之二。这是极地变暖趋势中令人震惊的一部分,该趋势已经在全球范围内产生影响。)”和第二段“Throughout the spring and summer, Arctic sea ice melted away faster than it usually does, causing the largest loss of Arctic sea ice cover since satellite records began in the 1970s. The year 2024’ s minimum was reached on Sept. 15, at 3.74 million m² compared with the previous 4.17 million m² set in 2007.(在整个春季和夏季,北冰洋海冰融化的速度比通常更快,导致自20世纪70年代卫星记录开始以来北冰洋海冰覆盖面积的最大损失。2024年的最低值出现在9月15日,为374万平方公里,而2007年为417万平方公里。)”可知,北极冰量减少的速度在加快,且2024年的冰量最小值低于2007年,这意味着北极冰量最小值最近情况更糟。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“On a larger scale, the greatest impact may be the changes in the Arctic’s ability to function as a cooling system for the global ocean. A warmer Arctic will affect the temperature differences between the northern polar region and areas further south. That may, in turn, create stronger heat waves, droughts, floods and potential impacts on farming. And all of us will be more exposed to the disastrous effects of climate breakdown.(从更大的范围来看,最大的影响可能是北极作为全球海洋冷却系统的能力发生变化。一个更温暖的北极将影响北极地区和更南部地区之间的温度差异。这反过来可能会引发更强烈的热浪、干旱、洪水以及对农业的潜在影响。我们所有人都将更直接地受到气候崩溃的灾难性影响。)”可知,北冰洋海冰的减少可能会使全球气候变得更糟,导致全球气候紧急情况。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“We need to hit the reset button right now, on how we look after each other and Arctic sea ice to help our planet cope with the climate breakdown.(我们现在需要按下重置按钮,思考我们如何相互照顾以及如何保护北极海冰,以帮助我们的星球应对气候崩溃。)”可知,作者在最后一段的目的是敦促人们迅速采取行动保护北极。故选C。

65. as
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国网红李子柒时隔三年发布新视频,展示中国传统漆器工艺,以及她在制作过程中克服困难,其作品对传播中国文化的意义。
【56题详解】
考查形容词。句意:李子柒,这位以宁静乡村生活方式视频而闻名的深受喜爱的中国有影响力人物,于11月12日惊人地回归了互联网。此处修饰名词figure,应用形容词作定语,influence的形容词形式为influential,意为“有影响力的”,故填influential。
【57题详解】
考查冠词。句意:在沉寂了三年之后,她发布了她的第一个视频,展示了中国传统漆器艺术,这是一种有着数百年历史的中国工艺。空白处后面有名词,根据冠词的用法,名词前需使用不定冠词,表示“一个”含义,又因空白处后面词的第一个发音因素为辅音,故填a。
【58题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:同上。此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是her first video,指物,且在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which引导该从句,故填which。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在视频中,她向观众展示了制作一个漆衣柜的复杂过程,这个衣柜装饰着金色的麒麟图案,象征着好运和长寿。句中已有谓语动词takes,所以此处应用非谓语动词,decorate与逻辑主语a lacquered wardrobe之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用过去分词作后置定语,故填decorated。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在她进入漆器世界的过程中,李子柒在学习这门工艺时面临了许多挑战,甚至在自己制作漆器的过程中遭受了严重的过敏反应。分析句子结构,句中已有谓语动词 fronted,所以此处应用非谓语动词,she与suffer之间是主动关系,即 “她遭受过敏反应”,所以用现在分词作伴随状语,故填suffering。
【61题详解】
考查副词。句意:然而,她以令人难以置信的毅力克服了所有的困难和逆境,最终获得了全世界的认可。根据“severe allergic reactions in the process of making lacquerware of her own(在自己制作漆器的过程中遭受了严重的过敏反应)”以及“she overcame all the difficulties and adversities with her incredible perseverance(她以令人难以置信的毅力克服了所有的困难和逆境)”可知前文提到她面临挑战和过敏反应,后文说她克服困难获得认可,前后为转折关系,且空后有逗号,所以用副词However作状语,意为“然而”,故填However。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意:同上。根据空前的形容词worldwide可知,此处应填名词,作gained的宾语,recognize的名词形式为recognition,意为“认可”,为不可数名词,故填recognition。
【63题详解】
考查时态。句意:这个视频很快获得了超过1亿点击量,并在社交媒体上引发了广泛的讨论。本句表示的是过去发生的动作,谓语动词使用一般过去时,lead的过去式为led,故填led。
【64题详解】
考查副词。句意:如今,李子柒仍然热情地展示着东方文化、自然之美和宁静的生活方式,使她的回归成为了一场文化盛事。此处修饰动词presents,应用副词作状语,enthusiastic的副词形式为enthusiastically,意为“热情地”,故填enthusiastically。
【65题详解】
考查固定短语、介词。句意:她的作品不仅代表了中国传统工艺,而且还成为了对中国文化的一种颂扬。serve as为固定短语,意为“充当;作为”,符合语境,故填as。

Dear fellow students,
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
【答案】Dear fellow students,
As the president of the School Environmental Protection Association, I am writing to advocate for the construction of a low-carbon campus, which is of great significance. Not only can it help to reduce our carbon footprint, but it also can create a more eco-friendly environment for our study and life.
So, how can we contribute to building a low-carbon campus? First of all, we should save energy. For example, turn off the lights and fans when leaving the classroom. Besides, we can reduce waste by recycling paper, plastic bottles and other recyclable materials. In addition, we can plant more trees and flowers to beautify our campus and improve the air quality.
Let’s start from ourselves and jointly create a more beautiful and sustainable campus environment.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

67. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
I went up to the roof for a break after studying for an hour and watched the 50 or so people swimming in the natural rock pool below our house. It was a sunny day--a blue, cloudless sky over a calm sea. But then, as I looked in the distance, I discovered three or four big waves heading towards the shore. I'd seen these mini-tsunamis(海啸) many times before. They were heading at speed in the direction of the pool. Most people knew how to look out for them, but from the screams that started coming from the beach, I could tell someone was in trouble.
Without thinking, I ran down into the street, holding my body board(俯伏冲浪板) on the way and shouted at a stranger to go inside my house and call the coastguard. My neighbor Moises had heard the screaming as well and was also outside with his body board, so together we rushed to the steps that led down to the sea.
Once we got closer, we discovered the waves had pulled a boy and a girl from the pool and into the open sea. I knew that the nearest boat would take at least 30 minutes to reach us. Waiting for help wasn't a choice. I wasn't used to this sort of emergency--I’d never been trained as a lifeguard-but I didn't think twice about trying to save them. I supposed in a way I wanted to impress everyone: at 19, a deal like that can seem like a good opportunity to show off.
Moises and I dived into the water and it took us 10 minutes to get to them. When we finally reached them, they were almost lifeless with only their heads coming in and out of the water. We could tell they were still alive from their small breaths but it was clear they wouldn't have been able to stay there much longer. I held the boy and pulled him over my board. Moises moved the girl onto his board. We discussed pushing them back to the shore, but we were too far out.
注意:
1.所续写的短文词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;
Paragraph 1:
We had to wait.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
That night, word came from the hospital that the two people were in good condition.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
We had to wait. We eagerly hoping for the arrival of the saving boat. The wild wind blew and the freezing sea water clapped our bodies continuously. 30 minutes seemed much longer as we just helplessly floated on the boundless sea. After a long time, a light spot appeared in the distance! We waved our hands and yelled out for help. The boat finally reached us and took all of us back to the shore. The two children were immediately sent to the nearest hospital.
That night, word came from the hospital that the two people were in good condition. Picturing what the merry scene would be, relief lay in my heart and happiness etched on my face. The next morning, all the people I met smiled to me and could not stop praising me. It seemed like a good opportunity to show myself off, but I didn’t mean to. In fact, I was ashamed I had thought about it. It occurred to me that helping others was priceless and everyone should be a lifeguard.
【解析】
【分析】本文以事件发展为线索展开。作者在一次海啸中,意外发现了有人遇到危险,于是和邻居一起前往救助。作者当时在某种程度上,是想给每个人留下深刻印象:19岁时,这似乎是一个很好的炫耀机会。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段内容“我们必须等……”可知应该写等待的过程,要详细地描述作者他们等待的心情和当时海面的变化,以及最终获救……
②由第二段内容“那天晚上,医院传来消息说,这两个人的身体状况良好。”可知本段应该描写我对这次营救别人的心理变化和感悟。文章最后提到帮助别人是无价的,每个人都应该成为一名救生员。
2.续写线索:救援遇险——等待援助——获得援助——事后感悟。
3.词汇激活
行为类
①来到:arrival /reach
②帮助:help/yelled out for help
情绪类
①绝望:eagerly hope /helplessly
②积极:merry /praise
③内心活动:relief/show off/ashamed
【点睛】[高分句型1]. 30 minutes seemed much longer as we just helplessly floated on the boundless sea. (由as引导时间状语从句)
[高分句型2]. That night, word came from the hospital that the two people were in good condition. (由that引导同位语从句)
