One day, there was a knock at the door and when I opened it, in walked my son carrying a pot of flowers. For a moment, I didn’t know who he was and then, suddenly, he was there. He hadn’t told us he was coming and seeing him was a shock and a wonderful surprise. It has been years since I last cried about anything but when he stepped in I was in tears.
We live on Canada’s west coast and my son lives on the east coast. Despite the distance, we visited each other with some frequency. However, for various reasons, we haven’t seen each other for over two years.
As parents, we tend to think of our children as being young and being in need of our guidance even when they have reached adulthood. Somehow, though, my son’s sudden appearance and his month-long visit that followed let me see him in a whole new light.
My wife is ill and needs a lot of support these days and our son stepped up to help. There were some repairs needed around the house that I hadn’t gotten to and he saw them and helped me to make them happen. He is a homeowner and is therefore skilled at fixing and maintaining the things that can go wrong in a normal household so he pitched in. He helped to prepare food and to help his mother get comfortable when she had to move around. In general, he took from me a load I hadn’t fully realized I was carrying. Working shoulder to shoulder with this competent, confident man that I loved and admired was a wonderful and surprising experience.
I probably shouldn’t have been surprised because my son is now in his fifties, is a successful business consultant, owns a larger house than I ever had and makes far more money than I ever did. I wonder how he ever got to be that way and I claim no credit for his success.
My son left recently and again I shed tears as I did when he arrived. But it was different somehow.
4. What do we know about the son’s arrival?
A. It struck fear into his old father. B. It was considered a break-in.
C. It was what his father expected. D. It took the father by surprise.
5. What does the underlined phrase most probably mean?
A. Helped out. B. Dropped in. C. Shied away. D. Held on.
6. Why do you think the author shed tears when his son left?
A. He had to carry the load again. B. He needed spiritual support badly.
C. He was very proud of his son. D. He was saddened by his departure.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. A Long-awaited but Short-lived Visit B. A Timely and Praiseworthy Backup
C. An Intelligent and Wonderful Old Son D. An Unexpected Visit from My Son
C
The paper, published in Communications Earth and Environment, reveals there is far less water available than previously thought. With demand for lithium (锂), a mineral critical for batteries powering the green transition (变革), projected to increase 40-fold in the coming decades, the research suggests local communities, regulators and the lithium mining industry quickly work together to bring their water usage within sustainable limits.
In the Lithium Triangle, located in South America, Boutt and his team come in. They looked at 28 different basins, wanting to understand how rare the fresh water is.
“The climate and hydrology (水文学) of the Lithium Triangle is very difficult to understand,” says Boutt, so scientists and engineers have relied on global water models to best estimate water availability and environmental impacts of lithium mining within the Triangle.
Global water models suggest that the freshwater flowing into the Lithium Triangle’s basins is some 90 and 230mm per year. “But after an initial assessment,” says Boutt, “we suspected it was going to be too inaccurate for our purposes.” So the team developed LiCBWA, their own model, finding a sharp difference from the conventional understanding.
“There’s not much new freshwater at all coming into these systems,” says Boutt. While global models estimate an average of 90 and 230 mm per year of inflow, LiCBWA estimates from 2 to 33 mm, depending on the particular basin, with an average of just 11 mm per year for the 28 basins in their study. “The conventional wisdom is overestimating the amount of water by at least ten times,” says Boutt, “and we found that all but one of the 28 basins in our study should be classified as’ severely water rare’”.
Meantime, the processes for mining lithium are changing. The older method is being replaced by direct lithium extraction (DLE) which consumes more water.
“Because lithium mining is a reality in the Lithium Triangle,” the authors conclude, “scientists, local communities, regulators and producers must work together to reduce water use,” as well as commit to better monitoring rainfall, streamflow and groundwater levels for an even more precise hydrological picture.
8. What do we know about lithium from paragraph 1?
A. Demand for it will increase greatly. B. Its availability is less than expected.
C. It’s a new raw material for batteries. D. Its mining should be limited instantly.
9. What is Boutt and his team’s purpose?
A. To monitor the climate and hydrology on-site.
B. To calculate the impact mining has on transitions.
C. To prove the conventional wisdom is groundless.
D. To estimate to what extent the fresh water is rare.
10. How do the team find the current situation of water in the Triangle?
A. Hopeless. B. Acceptable. C. Critical. D. Optimistic.
11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. What a precise hydrological picture is. B. How to conserve the water resources.
C. Why water consumption is substantial. D. Whether to shut down lithium mining.
D
How old are your organs? The answer might not match your chronological (按时间顺序的)age — and a new research finds that an organ’s biological age might predict a person’s risk of diseases.
The research analyzed data from Whitehall II, a long-running British study of aging that has followed over10,000 British adults for over 35 years. Between 1997 and 1999, the Whitehall study took blood samples from participants when they were 45 to 69 years old.
The current study analyzed those blood samples as well as follow-up data for 6,235 Whitehall participants, by then aged 65 to 89. The researchers used the analysis to help measure the gap between a person’s age and the biological age of nine of their organs: heart, blood vessels, liver, immune system, pancreas, kidneys, lungs, intestines and brain. Then they looked at follow-up data that showed the kinds of diseases participants developed as they aged over the next two decades.
The organs aged at different rates in different people, the researchers write — and those with “fast-aging” organs had an increased risk of 30 of the 45 age-related diseases studied.
Some of the associations linked faster aging organs to diseases in that organ; for example, those with accelerated (加快的)lung aging were likelier to develop respiratory (呼吸的)diseases. But in other cases, the link was not as direct. Faster aging of the kidneys, in particular, was linked to diseases of the kidneys and other organs, such as the liver and pancreas, and accelerated aging of multiple organs in the body increased kidney disease risk. “Surprisingly,” the researchers say, dementia (痴呆症)was not best predicted by accelerated brain aging, but rather by the immune system’s biological age.
The researchers say the study shows the promise of an organ-specific blood test, which is simpler than past methods. In a news release, lead author, Mika Kivimaki, says such tests could one day “advise whether a person needs to take better care of a particular organ, and potentially provide an early-warning signal that they may be at risk of a particular disease.”
12. What has the research revealed?
A. Organs fail naturally but differently as people age.
B. Faster organ aging predicts increased disease risks.
C. Healthy organs are a guarantee of one’s well-being.
D. Organ aging is the leading cause of its function loss.
13. What do you know about the study?
A. The organs were healthy. B. The participants were long-lived.
C. The process was lengthy. D. The results were yet to be proved.
14. What is the surprising outcome regarding dementia?
A. It is unavoidable as one ages. B. Relevant predictions are quite accurate.
C. Science promises a cure for it. D. Faster brain aging isn’t its direct cause.
15. In which way are the findings beneficial?
A. They can help prevent organ disease. B. Any particular disease can be detected.
C. Organ-specific blood tests are simple. D. Health of organs would be guaranteed.

Simple Techniques to Strengthen Our Memory Muscles
We live with memory from morning to night without thinking about it, just as we constantly use our arms and legs without paying attention to them. ____16____The fact is that for most of us, memory suffers only from lack of use. Here are four techniques to help us hold on to the information we need to live a better, less forgetful life.
Create mental images. When information enters our brain, we create a mental representation of it. We register this information as a mental picture while transforming it into a verbal form.____17____ When we hear the name Tutankhamen, for instance, the verbal image is probably stronger if we knew little about Egyptian archaeology.
Look for logic. Logic reasoning trains the mind to impose (施加) structure on information, to establish order and meaning according to certain rules.____18____ One way to impose order on information is to group things together. Take, for example, a ten-digit phone number: 0-1-8-5-9-6-3-2-8-7. Regrouping the digits in pairs gives only 5elements to remember:01-85-96-32-87.
Link your memories. For new information to be kept it must be compared to all the other information in the memory to establish whether it has already been recorded or if it contributes something really new. If the information is genuinely new, the brain will look for other information with which to associate it. This process allows us to establish connections between people, objects, images and ideas that have something in common.____19____
Repetition. Research shows that we start forgetting information soon after we have learned it.____20____ To fix data in our memory, we need to start reviewing it straight away. With uncomplicated data, repetition is still the most reliable means of consolidation (巩固), or committing information to long-term memory.
A. It is a component to temporary memory.
B. But memorization by association requires practice.
C. And to operate efficiently, the memory needs order.
D. Within a few hours, we no longer recall 70% to 80%.
E. Chances are that they will be firmly fixed in your memory.
F. It’s only when it lets us down that we wonder if something is wrong.
G. Either version can dominate, depending on our knowledge of a subject.

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。
In my collection of photographs is an old picture that is forever imprinted in my memory. It shows me with Dad and my two sisters arm in arm and grinning for the camera. Looming (耸立) in the background is Magnum, the world’s tallest and fastest roller coaster. The picture is thirty years old, but the memory it contains is timeless, especially my father’s words — “Don’t ever apologize for knowing your limits.”
Every time I see this photo, all the details of that summer day at the amusement park rush back: the shining morning sun; the heavy smell of popcorn; the way we decided to ride the roller coaster; the precious photo taken before we took the ride, etc.
But no one knew I was secretly terrified of riding the roller coaster. I fear height. Now that the rest of my family all nodded with excitement, I didn’t want to be the only one to stay behind. My little sister, who barely met the height requirement, behaved fearlessly. If she wasn’t afraid, how could I admit that I was?
While inching our way up the long line I tried to swallow my fear and stand resolute. “You can do this,” I repeated to myself. But with every step forward, a sense of unease grew in my chest.
All too soon, we reached the end of the line. Our turn came. The cars rolled up and clicked to a stop and the gate swung open. It was time to step in. My body went stiff with fear, and at that moment I knew: I could not ride Magnum.
I looked at the attendant and said, “I don’t want to go.” She was so considerate as to wave me toward an exit ramp (坡道) and instructed me on how to find my way down. Too embarrassed to face my family, I simply called over my shoulder to Dad that I was leaving. There wasn’t time for him to say anything, and I didn’t look back. I walked down the exit ramp on shaky but relieved legs. Whatever disappointment or ridicule I would face for chickening out was a small price to pay for skipping that ride.
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。
I sat down on a bench in the shade and waited for the others.

One day, there was a knock at the door and when I opened it, in walked my son carrying a pot of flowers. For a moment, I didn’t know who he was and then, suddenly, he was there. He hadn’t told us he was coming and seeing him was a shock and a wonderful surprise. It has been years since I last cried about anything but when he stepped in I was in tears.
We live on Canada’s west coast and my son lives on the east coast. Despite the distance, we visited each other with some frequency. However, for various reasons, we haven’t seen each other for over two years.
As parents, we tend to think of our children as being young and being in need of our guidance even when they have reached adulthood. Somehow, though, my son’s sudden appearance and his month-long visit that followed let me see him in a whole new light.
My wife is ill and needs a lot of support these days and our son stepped up to help. There were some repairs needed around the house that I hadn’t gotten to and he saw them and helped me to make them happen. He is a homeowner and is therefore skilled at fixing and maintaining the things that can go wrong in a normal household so he pitched in. He helped to prepare food and to help his mother get comfortable when she had to move around. In general, he took from me a load I hadn’t fully realized I was carrying. Working shoulder to shoulder with this competent, confident man that I loved and admired was a wonderful and surprising experience.
I probably shouldn’t have been surprised because my son is now in his fifties, is a successful business consultant, owns a larger house than I ever had and makes far more money than I ever did. I wonder how he ever got to be that way and I claim no credit for his success.
My son left recently and again I shed tears as I did when he arrived. But it was different somehow.
4. What do we know about the son’s arrival?
A. It struck fear into his old father. B. It was considered a break-in.
C. It was what his father expected. D. It took the father by surprise.
5. What does the underlined phrase most probably mean?
A. Helped out. B. Dropped in. C. Shied away. D. Held on.
6. Why do you think the author shed tears when his son left?
A. He had to carry the load again. B. He needed spiritual support badly.
C. He was very proud of his son. D. He was saddened by his departure.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. A Long-awaited but Short-lived Visit B. A Timely and Praiseworthy Backup
C. An Intelligent and Wonderful Old Son D. An Unexpected Visit from My Son
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. D

The paper, published in Communications Earth and Environment, reveals there is far less water available than previously thought. With demand for lithium (锂), a mineral critical for batteries powering the green transition (变革), projected to increase 40-fold in the coming decades, the research suggests local communities, regulators and the lithium mining industry quickly work together to bring their water usage within sustainable limits.
In the Lithium Triangle, located in South America, Boutt and his team come in. They looked at 28 different basins, wanting to understand how rare the fresh water is.
“The climate and hydrology (水文学) of the Lithium Triangle is very difficult to understand,” says Boutt, so scientists and engineers have relied on global water models to best estimate water availability and environmental impacts of lithium mining within the Triangle.
Global water models suggest that the freshwater flowing into the Lithium Triangle’s basins is some 90 and 230mm per year. “But after an initial assessment,” says Boutt, “we suspected it was going to be too inaccurate for our purposes.” So the team developed LiCBWA, their own model, finding a sharp difference from the conventional understanding.
“There’s not much new freshwater at all coming into these systems,” says Boutt. While global models estimate an average of 90 and 230 mm per year of inflow, LiCBWA estimates from 2 to 33 mm, depending on the particular basin, with an average of just 11 mm per year for the 28 basins in their study. “The conventional wisdom is overestimating the amount of water by at least ten times,” says Boutt, “and we found that all but one of the 28 basins in our study should be classified as’ severely water rare’”.
Meantime, the processes for mining lithium are changing. The older method is being replaced by direct lithium extraction (DLE) which consumes more water.
“Because lithium mining is a reality in the Lithium Triangle,” the authors conclude, “scientists, local communities, regulators and producers must work together to reduce water use,” as well as commit to better monitoring rainfall, streamflow and groundwater levels for an even more precise hydrological picture.
8. What do we know about lithium from paragraph 1?
A. Demand for it will increase greatly. B. Its availability is less than expected.
C. It’s a new raw material for batteries. D. Its mining should be limited instantly.
9. What is Boutt and his team’s purpose?
A. To monitor the climate and hydrology on-site.
B. To calculate the impact mining has on transitions.
C. To prove the conventional wisdom is groundless.
D. To estimate to what extent the fresh water is rare.
10. How do the team find the current situation of water in the Triangle?
A. Hopeless. B. Acceptable. C. Critical. D. Optimistic.
11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. What a precise hydrological picture is. B. How to conserve the water resources.
C. Why water consumption is substantial. D. Whether to shut down lithium mining.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】

D
How old are your organs? The answer might not match your chronological (按时间顺序的)age — and a new research finds that an organ’s biological age might predict a person’s risk of diseases.
The research analyzed data from Whitehall II, a long-running British study of aging that has followed over10,000 British adults for over 35 years. Between 1997 and 1999, the Whitehall study took blood samples from participants when they were 45 to 69 years old.
The current study analyzed those blood samples as well as follow-up data for 6,235 Whitehall participants, by then aged 65 to 89. The researchers used the analysis to help measure the gap between a person’s age and the biological age of nine of their organs: heart, blood vessels, liver, immune system, pancreas, kidneys, lungs, intestines and brain. Then they looked at follow-up data that showed the kinds of diseases participants developed as they aged over the next two decades.
The organs aged at different rates in different people, the researchers write — and those with “fast-aging” organs had an increased risk of 30 of the 45 age-related diseases studied.
Some of the associations linked faster aging organs to diseases in that organ; for example, those with accelerated (加快的)lung aging were likelier to develop respiratory (呼吸的)diseases. But in other cases, the link was not as direct. Faster aging of the kidneys, in particular, was linked to diseases of the kidneys and other organs, such as the liver and pancreas, and accelerated aging of multiple organs in the body increased kidney disease risk. “Surprisingly,” the researchers say, dementia (痴呆症)was not best predicted by accelerated brain aging, but rather by the immune system’s biological age.
The researchers say the study shows the promise of an organ-specific blood test, which is simpler than past methods. In a news release, lead author, Mika Kivimaki, says such tests could one day “advise whether a person needs to take better care of a particular organ, and potentially provide an early-warning signal that they may be at risk of a particular disease.”
12. What has the research revealed?
A. Organs fail naturally but differently as people age.
B. Faster organ aging predicts increased disease risks.
C. Healthy organs are a guarantee of one’s well-being.
D. Organ aging is the leading cause of its function loss.
13. What do you know about the study?
A. The organs were healthy. B. The participants were long-lived.
C. The process was lengthy. D. The results were yet to be proved.
14. What is the surprising outcome regarding dementia?
A. It is unavoidable as one ages. B. Relevant predictions are quite accurate.
C. Science promises a cure for it. D. Faster brain aging isn’t its direct cause.
15. In which way are the findings beneficial?
A. They can help prevent organ disease. B. Any particular disease can be detected.
C. Organ-specific blood tests are simple. D. Health of organs would be guaranteed.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究,探讨了器官的生物学年龄与个体疾病风险之间的关系。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The organs aged at different rates in different people, the researchers write — and those with “fast-aging” organs had an increased risk of 30 of the 45 age-related diseases studied.(研究人员写道,不同人的器官以不同的速率衰老——那些拥有“快速衰老”器官的人在研究的45种与年龄相关的疾病中,有30种疾病的患病风险增加。)”可知,研究揭示了更快的器官衰老预测了更高的疾病风险。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The research analyzed data from Whitehall II, a long-running British study of aging that has followed over 10,000 British adults for over 35 years.(这项研究分析了Whitehall II的数据,这是一项长期的英国老龄化研究,已经跟踪了超过10,000名英国成年人超过35年。)”可知,研究过程是漫长的。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段““Surprisingly,” the researchers say, dementia (痴呆症) was not best predicted by accelerated brain aging, but rather by the immune system’s biological age.”(“令人惊讶的是,”研究人员说,痴呆症并不是由加速的大脑衰老最好预测的,而是由免疫系统的生物学年龄预测的。)”可知,痴呆症并不是由大脑的快速衰老直接引起的。故选D项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The researchers say the study shows the promise of an organ-specific blood test, which is simpler than past methods. In a news release, lead author, Mika Kivimaki, says such tests could one day ‘advise whether a person needs to take better care of a particular organ, and potentially provide an early-warning signal that they may be at risk of a particular disease.’”(研究人员说,这项研究表明了器官特异性血液测试的前景,这种方法比过去的方法更简单。在新闻发布会上,主要作者Mika Kivimaki说,这样的测试有一天可以“建议一个人是否需要更好地照顾某个特定的器官,并可能提供一个早期预警信号,表明他们可能患有某种特定的疾病。”)”可知,这些发现有助于预防器官疾病。故选A项。

Simple Techniques to Strengthen Our Memory Muscles
We live with memory from morning to night without thinking about it, just as we constantly use our arms and legs without paying attention to them. ____16____The fact is that for most of us, memory suffers only from lack of use. Here are four techniques to help us hold on to the information we need to live a better, less forgetful life.
Create mental images. When information enters our brain, we create a mental representation of it. We register this information as a mental picture while transforming it into a verbal form.____17____ When we hear the name Tutankhamen, for instance, the verbal image is probably stronger if we knew little about Egyptian archaeology.
Look for logic. Logic reasoning trains the mind to impose (施加) structure on information, to establish order and meaning according to certain rules.____18____ One way to impose order on information is to group things together. Take, for example, a ten-digit phone number: 0-1-8-5-9-6-3-2-8-7. Regrouping the digits in pairs gives only 5elements to remember:01-85-96-32-87.
Link your memories. For new information to be kept, it must be compared to all the other information in the memory to establish whether it has already been recorded or if it contributes something really new. If the information is genuinely new, the brain will look for other information with which to associate it. This process allows us to establish connections between people, objects, images and ideas that have something in common.____19____
Repetition. Research shows that we start forgetting information soon after we have learned it.____20____ To fix data in our memory, we need to start reviewing it straight away. With uncomplicated data, repetition is still the most reliable means of consolidation (巩固), or committing information to long-term memory.
A. It is a component to temporary memory.
B. But memorization by association requires practice.
C. And to operate efficiently, the memory needs order.
D. Within a few hours, we no longer recall 70% to 80%.
E. Chances are that they will be firmly fixed in your memory.
F It’s only when it lets us down that we wonder if something is wrong.
G. Either version can dominate, depending on our knowledge of a subject.
【答案】16. F 17. G 18. C 19. B 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍四种增强记忆力的技巧,帮助读者更好地理解和应用这些方法来改善记忆力。
【16题详解】
前文“We live with memory from morning to night without thinking about it, just as we constantly use our arms and legs without paying attention to them.(我们从早到晚都生活在记忆中而不去想它,就像我们不停地使用我们的胳膊和腿而不去注意它们一样)”类比“忆像四肢一样被无意识使用”,后文转折到“The fact is that for most of us, memory suffers only from lack of use.(事实是记忆力因缺乏使用而退化)”。 所以,需填入一个与“忽视记忆”相关的过渡句。“F. It’s only when it lets us down that we wonder if something is wrong.(只有当记忆出错时,我们才会质疑它)”填入空格处,符合语境。“it”指代前文“memory”,完美衔接“无意识使用”和“忽视导致退化”的逻辑。故选F项。
【17题详解】
根据前文“We register this information as a mental picture while transforming it into a verbal form.(我们将这些信息作为一幅心理画面记录下来,同时将其转化为语言形式)”可知,空格处的句子应该是关于信息在大脑中如何被处理的进一步说明。G项“Either version can dominate, depending on our knowledge of a subject.(哪种形式占主导地位取决于我们对主题的了解)”填入空格处,符合语境,逻辑上引出了后文关于信息处理的讨论,“either version”指代前文的“mental picture”和“verbal form”,与后文例子完全契合。故选G项。
【18题详解】
根据前文“Look for logic. Logic reasoning trains the mind to impose (施加)structure on information, to establish order and meaning according to certain rules.(寻找逻辑。逻辑推理训练大脑将信息结构,根据一定的规则建立秩序和意义)”可知,本段强调“逻辑推理赋予信息结构”。后文举例电话号码分组“Take, for example, a ten-digit phone number: 0-1-8-5-9-6-3-2-8-7. Regrouping the digits in pairs gives only 5elements to remember:01-85-96-32-87.(例如,一个十位数的电话号码:0-1-8-5-9-6-3- 8-7。重新组合成对的数字只需要记住5个元素:01-85-96-32-87)”,体现“秩序对记忆的帮助”。C选项“And to operate efficiently, the memory needs order.(记忆需要秩序来高效运作)”直接点明逻辑推理的作用,与后文例子匹配。故选C项。
【19题详解】
根据前文“Link your memories. For new information to be kept, it must be compared to all the other information in the memory to establish whether it has already been recorded or if it contributes something really new. If the information is genuinely new, the brain will look for other information with which to associate it. This process allows us to establish connections between people, objects, images and ideas that have something in common.(连接你的记忆。为了保存新信息,必须将其与记忆中的所有其他信息进行比较,以确定它是否已经被记录下来,或者它是否确实有新的贡献。如果信息确实是新的,大脑会寻找其他信息将其联系起来。这个过程使我们能够在人、物体、图像和有共同之处的想法之间建立联系)”可知,本段讲“通过关联新旧信息强化记忆”。前文提到关联是自然过程,B选项“But memorization by association requires practice.(但关联记忆需练习)”补充说明其需要主动训练,符合段落末尾总结性逻辑。故选B项。
【20题详解】
根据前文“Research shows that we start forgetting information soon after we have learned it.(研究表明,我们学过的知识很快就会被遗忘)”可知,空格处的句子应该是关于遗忘速度的具体数据。D项“Within a few hours, we no longer recall 70% to 80%.(在几个小时内,我们不再记得70%到80%的信息)”填入空格处,符合语境,逻辑上补充了前文关于遗忘的讨论。故选D项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了定向越野运动,包括其运动形式、参赛条件、赛前指导及运动特点等内容。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:定向越野是一项在森林地区进行的户外运动。此处sport为可数名词单数,应用不定冠词表泛指,所连接的单词outdoor发音以元音开头,故填an。
【37题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:参赛者拿着一张详细的地图,按照地图上的路线,确定自己的方向,并按照给定的顺序尽可能快地跑到他们路线上的所有检查站。根据with a course和后文(follow) on it可知,空处应用动词不定式,作宾补,表示动作未发生。故填to follow。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:每个检查站都有一个打卡点,并在跑步者随身携带的卡片上打一个打卡点,作为访问所有检查站的证明。根据句意和后文proof of visiting all checkpoints可知,空处考查固定搭配as proof of…“作为……的证明”。故填as。
【39题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:跑完所有检查站的跑得最快的人是获胜者。根据比赛常识和后文is the winner可知,比赛的结果是现在确定的,空处的定语从句的时态应用现在完成时,描述过去动作对现在造成的影响,主谓一致,故填has visited。
【40题详解】
考查最高级。句意:虽然跑的能力对于在最短的时间内完成比赛是至关重要的,但它不如导航能力重要。根据比赛常识和前文the ability to run is crucial to finish the course可知,空处应用所给词的最高级形式,作定语,修饰名词time。故填shortest。
【41题详解】

【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意:在比赛开始前的每次比赛中,定向运动员都会给出指导和一些有用的建议。修饰名词tips应用形容词。故填helpful。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这项运动的一个主要特点是对精神和身体的双重挑战。分析句子可知,该句的谓语动词是is,且无连词。空处应用非谓语动词。动词involve与其逻辑主语challenges之间存在被动关系,应用过去分词作后置定语。故填involved。
44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:经典的龟兔赛跑是很常见的,有些人跑得很快,但不太清楚他们要去哪里,有些人跑得很慢,但准确地导航到每个检查点,当然还有介于两者之间的整个范围。分析句子可知,空处引导限制性定语从句。先行词是situation,表示抽象的地点,定语从句中缺少地点状语,应用关系副词where引导从句,作地点状语。故填where。

Feedback on the Foreign Language Festival
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Feedback on the Foreign Language Festival
The Foreign Language Festival was truly impressive! The variety of activities, from spelling bees to cultural booths, provided both fun and learning opportunities. And they were noticeably popular, students participating with unprecedented enthusiasm. I particularly enjoyed the interactive language games that made practicing English exciting and fruitful.
However, some areas could be improved. First, the event schedules, like the English Drama Contest, was a bit tight, leaving little time to fully enjoy it. Second, clearer signage would help us navigate between venue s more easily.
Overall, it was a well-organized festival that successfully combined education with entertainment. With some minor adjustments, next year’s event could be even better!

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。
In my collection of photographs is an old picture that is forever imprinted in my memory. It shows me with Dad and my two sisters arm in arm and grinning for the camera. Looming (耸立) in the background is Magnum, the world’s tallest and fastest roller coaster. The picture is thirty years old, but the memory it contains is timeless, especially my father’s words — “Don’t ever apologize for knowing your limits.”
Every time I see this photo, all the details of that summer day at the amusement park rush back: the shining morning sun; the heavy smell of popcorn; the way we decided to ride the roller coaster; the precious photo taken before we took the ride, etc.
But no one knew I was secretly terrified of riding the roller coaster. I fear height. Now that the rest of my family all nodded with excitement, I didn’t want to be the only one to stay behind. My little sister, who barely met the height requirement, behaved fearlessly. If she wasn’t afraid, how could I admit that I was?
While inching our way up the long line, I tried to swallow my fear and stand resolute. “You can do this,” I repeated to myself. But with every step forward, a sense of unease grew in my chest.
All too soon, we reached the end of the line. Our turn came. The cars rolled up and clicked to a stop and the gate swung open. It was time to step in. My body went stiff with fear, and at that moment I knew: I could not ride Magnum.
I looked at the attendant and said, “I don’t want to go.” She was so considerate as to wave me toward an exit ramp (坡道) and instructed me on how to find my way down. Too embarrassed to face my family, I simply called over my shoulder to Dad that I was leaving. There wasn’t time for him to say anything, and I didn’t look back. I walked down the exit ramp on shaky but relieved legs. Whatever disappointment or ridicule I would face for chickening out was a small price to pay for skipping that ride.
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。
I sat down on a bench in the shade and waited for the others.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“So what happened to you up there?” Dad asked.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I sat down on a bench in the shade and waited for the others. Suddenly screams found their way into my ears. The sight didn’t seem to be that terrifying as I had imagined previously. I wondered if I should have stuck it out. And again I worried my family would ridicule me. It wasn’t long before my family showed up. To my surprise, my sisters didn’t look thrilled in the least. They sobbed openly, their faces red with outrage over how the ride had scared them. I began to feel somewhat reassured that I had made the right decision when I met Dad’s eyes.
“So what happened to you up there?” Dad asked. Shame flushed my face. “I guess I was just too chicken. Sorry!” I responded in a faint murmur. “Don’t ever apologize for knowing your limits,” Dad said, “And I am proud of you for the choice you made.” This was the exact opposite of what I had expected him to say. The words have served me well through difficult school years, in the workplace and in my role as a parent. All the stories and the old photo remind me to remember this: knowing my limits isn’t an indication of weakness but rather a sign of strength.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者收藏的照片上,自己和父亲、妹妹们站在云霄飞车前。作者虽怕高,起初努力克服恐惧,但临上车时因害怕放弃。作者虽尴尬,却觉得逃避坐飞车的恐惧很值得。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“我坐在阴凉处的长椅上,等着其他人。”可知,第一段可以描写作者坐在阴凉处的长椅上等待家人玩完云霄飞车,听到尖叫声、看到云霄飞车运行景象后内心产生后悔与担忧, 直到家人出现。
②由第二段句首内容“你在上面发生了什么事?”爸爸问。”可知,第二段可以描写作者羞愧回应,父亲给予理解和鼓励,这些话对作者产生深远影响,最后点明文章主旨:了解自己的极限是一种优点而非弱点。
2.续写线索:等待家人玩云霄飞车时的内心纠结——家人玩完后的状态——与父亲的对话——父亲话语带来的影响——点明主旨
