As a mother and a professional working full time, I spent all of my 30 years saying yes. Saying yes to things I wanted to do, but a lot of the time saying yes to things I disliked. This was a people-pleasing technique that would affect people’s opinion of me: the woman who could do it all, so that I can obtain a nice fame in their mind.
Little did I know that I was also developing an autoimmune (自身免疫的) disease, which I have to believe was my body’s way of telling me to slow down. I had severely swollen joints and brain fog but I pushed through so that I could look in the mirror at the end of the day and feel “accomplished”. The only things I was accomplishing were bad health and bad habits.
And then a series of events changed everything: serious medical issues and losing my job. It took all that to help me see how intensely burnt out I was. I spent a lot of time thinking about where I had to be next instead of being present in the moment. But now, I wake up each day knowing that everything on my schedule has been purposefully agreed to.
Looking back, I had the capability to suffer the pressure to say yes. I also felt it necessary to say yes, from driving people to the airport to seeing family every Friday night. I always wanted to solve everyone’s problems and offered sound and immediate solutions. It was one big “yes” to everything.
I was everyone’s cheerleader, but forgot how to cheer for myself along the way. But saying no is being my own cheerleader. And it’s not saying no to caring for family and friends. Instead, it’s a minor change in mindset, taking a pause before automatically agreeing. I take a breath, do a quick count of my energy and ability before jumping in.
4. Why did the author say yes to things she disliked?
A. To please her boss. B. To prove her profession.
C. To earn herself a good reputation. D. To push herself to the limit.
5. How did the author deal with the changes in her body?
A. She got rid of bad habits.
B. She thought little of them.
C. She slowed down her life pace.
D. She paid more attention to her health.
6. What will the author do before saying yes?
A. Find a cheerleader.
B. Evaluate her situation.
C. Breathe in some fresh air.
D. Seek help from her friends.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage?
A. Ways to Improve Time Management.
B. The Dangers of Autoimmune Diseases.
C. How to Build a Good Reputation at Work.
D. The Importance of Saying “No” for Self-Care.
C
In his 1936 work How to Win Friends and Influence People, Dale Carnegie wrote: “I have come to the conclusion that there is only one way to get the best of an argument — and that is to avoid it.” This distaste for arguments is common, but it depends on a mistaken view of arguments that causes problems for our personal and social lives — and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place.
Carnegie would be right if arguments were fights, which is how we often think of them. Like physical fights, verbal (言语的) fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win, you end up no better off. You would be feeling almost as bad if arguments were even just competitions — like, say, tennis tournaments. Pairs of opponents hit the ball back and forth until one winner comes out from all who entered. Everybody else loses. This kind of thinking explains why so many people try to avoid arguments.
However, there are ways to win an argument every time. When you state your position, formulate (阐述) an argument for what you claim and honestly ask yourself whether your argument is any good. When you talk with someone who takes a stand, ask them to give you a reason for their view and spell out their argument fully. Assess its strength and weakness. Raise objections (异议) and listen carefully to their replies. This method will require effort, but practice will make you better at it.
These tools can help you win every argument — not in the unhelpful sense of beating your opponents but in the better sense of learning about what divides people, learning why they disagree with us and learning to talk and work together with them. If we readjust our view of arguments — from a verbal fight or tennis game to a reasoned exchange through which we all gain respect and understanding from each other — then we change the very nature of what it means to “win” an argument.
8. What is the author’s attitude toward Carnegie’s understanding of argument?
A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Tolerant. D. Uncertain.
9. Why do many people try to avoid arguments?
A. They lack debating skills. B. They may feel bad even if they win.
C. They fear being ignored. D. They are not confident in themselves.
10. What does the underlined phrase “spell out” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Defend. B. Explain. C. Conclude. D. Repeat.
11 What is the key to “winning” an argument according to the author?
A. Sense of logic. B. Solid supporting evidence.
C. Proper manners. D. Understanding from both sides.
D
Older people traditionally struggle with new tech, but it doesn’t have to be this way. With the right design, even the most unwilling user can obtain the benefits.
A lack of understanding of technology and its benefits, along with difficulty in using hi-tech products, such as a smartphone or computer, leads to the result that many seniors hesitate to migrate from the old to the new. This is a mistake.
Older people themselves must consider whether they want to embrace new technology, or let the benefits pass them by. Technology, often in the form of social media, has enabled seniors to meet new friends, keep in touch with old ones and learn new skills.
The reasons why some older people adopt new technology are likely to be twofold: they’re forced to do so and they want to make their lives easier. These reasons are important for anyone who realizes seniors need to be convinced to engage with technology to consider.
Adopting new technology is often imperative for modern people to do, yet some elderly still insist, “I have managed before without technology. Why do I have to use it now?”
Seniors often become frustrated with technology. “It’s not working, ” is a complaint co-author Lucia heard many times from her late father, especially when it came to his cell phone-and he used technology well, for the most part. Often, the problem was that he was unable to use the small keypad( 键盘) on his phone or read the letter size of the words in text messages he received.
One issue that needs to be addressed is the design of technology. Seniors want web pages to be simple and clear, and navigation easy. One study from 2005 shows that many seniors like a website to be user-friendly with a simple interface (界面).
“A simpler and more uniformly designed internet would help to break down the psychological barriers outlined, ”it states. While that study was carried out years ago, this problem with web design still stands.
12. Why do older people hesitate to embrace new techs?
A. They misunderstand computer’s design.
B. They are unwilling to change into the new.
C. They lack access to smartphones and computers.
D. They have difficulty in using technological products.
13. What does the example of Lucia’s father tell us in paragraph 6?
A. Seniors often feel upset about new technologies.
B. Seniors always face the breakdown of smartphones.
C. Seniors refuse to use the small keypad on their phone.
D. Seniors can’t understand the text messages they receive.
14 What might be discussed in the next paragraph?
A. Ways for web-designers to make internet easier to navigate.
B. Psychological barriers of seniors to adopt new technology.
C. Methods of tackling breaking down issues of computers.
D. Other researches related to seniors’ dissatisfaction.
15. What is the best title of the passage?
A. To use or not to use: a technological dilemma
B. Exploring benefits for seniors to accept hi-techs
C. To say yes to the smartphone: a beautiful mistake
D. Bridging the gap between seniors and technology
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Standing on a hill at Cliveden Gardens on a sunny winter day, its dark-green lake surrounded by centuries-old trees took my breath away. ____16____ It’s just a local park near London that I’d never heard of during my eight years living in the UK. As I admired the serene garden, it taught me a lesson about the British culture of understatement.
“The English landscape is more beautiful because its beauty is understated,” my friend Will said to me later as we walked through an exhibition at Tate Britain. He pointed to a painting of a peaceful countryside. “This is the landscape I grew up with”, he said. Unlike grand waterfalls or wild forests, this scenery doesn’t shout about its beauty. ____17____
I wonder if Chinese tourists will explore beyond London. ____18____ Indeed, Oxford and Cambridge and the beloved Lake District National Park are some iconic symbols of Britain. But it would be a pity if they miss out on the lesser-known parts of the English landscape.
____19____ I remember a straight-A classmate once telling me he “survived exams” and another friend from Oxford introducing himself as “studying in the countryside”. This modesty also has its mirror in Chinese culture. I remember my parents’ telling me to work hard but not to brag about my achievements. Chinese culture is full of proverbs such as “real gold will shine sooner or later”, to encourage long-term dedication to one’s chosen area of expertise.
Experiencing both cultures, I’ve realized that the English and Chinese both express achievements with understatement. ____20____ It reflects the unspoken charm in both British and Chinese traditions. And it’s an off-the-beaten-path attraction well worth exploration.
A. Cliveden isn’t a famous holiday place.
B. Rather, its beauty is reserved for the locals only.
C. I’ve been impressed by British humor all the time.
D. They tend to prefer places with a strong reputation.
E. But the more I looked, the more I saw its quiet elegance.
F. Over the years, I’ve become familiar with British modesty.
G. This mix makes me appreciate the unusual beauty of Cliveden.

As a child, there was not one night that I don’t remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely ____21____ by the elegant way the words sounded.
Hearing mom say, “I can’t believe what’s printed in the newspaper this morning,” made me want to ____22____ it out of her hands and read it myself. As a six-year-old girl I ____23____ that knowing how to read could open many doors. My progress in reading raised my ____24____, I often found myself telling my mom to drive more ____25____, so that I could read all of the road ____26____ we passed. I like facts, things that are ____27____, I thought anything abstract ____28____ too much room for argument.
Yet now that I’m ____29____ and the world is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to ____30____. By opening a novel, I can ____31____ my burdens and enter into a mysterious world where I am now a new _____32_____. In these worlds I can become anyone. I just read to ____33____.
We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is a(n) ____34____ part of my life. And I’ve found that the possibilities that lie within ____35____ are limitless.
21. A. pressed B. fueled C. inspired D. implied

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 the busy city of Oakville, Sarah lived on the third floor of an aging apartment building. Its thin walls and creaky floors did little to shield her from the outside world, let alone the noises from the unit above. Directly above her, the Andersons had a lively family with two energetic young boys, Max and Jake. Max, seven years old, was full of boundless energy, always coming up with new games, while five-year-old Jake followed his brother everywhere, eager to join in the fun. From the moment they moved in, Sarah’s peaceful days were disrupted by the constant thumping, shouts, and laughter coming from upstairs.
As a freelance writer who worked from home, Sarah relied on quiet to focus. But the noise was endless. Every morning, right when she started to get into the flow of writing, the boys would begin their daily noisy behavior. Their footsteps sounded like rushing elephants, and their playtime often turned into wild races across the floor. Sarah tried to be patient at first, but as the weeks turned into months, her frustration grew. She began leaving passive - aggressive notes in the Andersons’ mailbox and even confronted Mrs. Anderson in the hallway. Tensions between the two neighbors increased, and a cold atmosphere settled over their interactions.
One stormy evening, Sarah was deep in thought, working on a crucial project. Suddenly, she heard panicked screams from upstairs, followed by loud crashing sounds. Her heart skipped a beat. Despite her past anger, she didn’t hesitate. She rushed up the stairs and pounded on the Andersons’ door. After a few tense moments, Max and Jake opened the door suddenly, their faces pale and marked with tears.
Inside, Sarah found Mrs. Anderson on the floor, pale and holding her chest. She looked weak and in great pain, her breathing shallow. She immediately called an ambulance and stayed with the family, comforting the frightened boys and holding Mrs. Anderson’s hand until help arrived.
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。
Over the next few days, as Mrs. Anderson recovered in the hospital, Sarah took care of Max and Jake.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A week later, Mrs. Anderson and the boys knocked on Sarah’s door.

I had severely swollen joints and brain fog but I pushed through so that I could look in the mirror at the end of the day and feel “accomplished”. The only things I was accomplishing were bad health and bad habits.
And then a series of events changed everything: serious medical issues and losing my job. It took all that to help me see how intensely burnt out I was. I spent a lot of time thinking about where I had to be next instead of being present in the moment. But now, I wake up each day knowing that everything on my schedule has been purposefully agreed to.
Looking back, I had the capability to suffer the pressure to say yes. I also felt it necessary to say yes, from driving people to the airport to seeing family every Friday night. I always wanted to solve everyone’s problems and offered sound and immediate solutions. It was one big “yes” to everything.
I was everyone’s cheerleader, but forgot how to cheer for myself along the way. But saying no is being my own cheerleader. And it’s not saying no to caring for family and friends. Instead, it’s a minor change in mindset, taking a pause before automatically agreeing. I take a breath, do a quick count of my energy and ability before jumping in.
4. Why did the author say yes to things she disliked?
A. To please her boss. B. To prove her profession.
C. To earn herself a good reputation. D. To push herself to the limit.
5. How did the author deal with the changes in her body?
A. She got rid of bad habits.
B. She thought little of them.
C. She slowed down her life pace.
D. She paid more attention to her health.
6. What will the author do before saying yes?
A. Find a cheerleader.
B. Evaluate her situation.
C. Breathe in some fresh air.
D. Seek help from her friends.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage?

In his 1936 work How to Win Friends and Influence People, Dale Carnegie wrote: “I have come to the conclusion that there is only one way to get the best of an argument — and that is to avoid it.” This distaste for arguments is common, but it depends on a mistaken view of arguments that causes problems for our personal and social lives — and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place.
Carnegie would be right if arguments were fights, which is how we often think of them. Like physical fights, verbal (言语的) fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win, you end up no better off. You would be feeling almost as bad if arguments were even just competitions — like, say, tennis tournaments. Pairs of opponents hit the ball back and forth until one winner comes out from all who entered. Everybody else loses. This kind of thinking explains why so many people try to avoid arguments.
However, there are ways to win an argument every time. When you state your position, formulate (阐述) an argument for what you claim and honestly ask yourself whether your argument is any good. When you talk with someone who takes a stand, ask them to give you a reason for their view and spell out their argument fully. Assess its strength and weakness. Raise objections (异议) and listen carefully to their replies. This method will require effort, but practice will make you better at it.
These tools can help you win every argument — not in the unhelpful sense of beating your opponents but in the better sense of learning about what divides people, learning why they disagree with us and learning to talk and work together with them. If we readjust our view of arguments — from a verbal fight or tennis game to a reasoned exchange through which we all gain respect and understanding from each other — then we change the very nature of what it means to “win” an argument.
8. What is the author’s attitude toward Carnegie’s understanding of argument?
A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Tolerant. D. Uncertain.
9. Why do many people try to avoid arguments?
A. They lack debating skills. B. They may feel bad even if they win.
C. They fear being ignored. D. They are not confident in themselves.
10. What does the underlined phrase “spell out” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Defend. B. Explain. C. Conclude. D. Repeat.
11. What is the key to “winning” an argument according to the author?
A. Sense of logic. B. Solid supporting evidence.
C. Proper manners. D. Understanding from both sides.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. D
【解析】

【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“This distaste for arguments is common, but it depends on a mistaken view of arguments that causes problems for our personal and social lives — and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place.(这种对争论的厌恶是很普遍的,但它取决于对争论的错误看法,这种观点会给我们的个人和社会生活带来问题——而且在很多方面,它首先忽略了争论的意义)”可知,作者对于Carnegie对争论的看法持批判态度,故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Like physical fights, verbal (言语的) fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win, you end up no better off. You would be feeling almost as bad if arguments were even just competitions — like, say, tennis tournaments.(和身体上的打斗一样,言语上的打斗也会让双方流血。即使你赢了,你最终也不会变得更好。如果争论只是一场比赛,比如网球比赛,你也会感觉很糟糕)”可知, 很多人尽量避免争论,是因为即使赢了他们也感觉很糟糕,故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线短语所在句“ask them to give you a reason for their view”可知,让他们为自己的观点提供依据,即让他们充分阐明他们的观点,spell out意为“解释明白,讲清楚”,故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“If we readjust our view of arguments — from a verbal fight or tennis game to a reasoned exchange through which we all gain respect and understanding from each other — then we change the very nature of what it means to “win” an argument.(如果我们重新调整我们对争论的看法——从一场口水战或网球比赛转变为一种理性的交流,通过这种交流,我们都能获得彼此的尊重和理解——那么我们就改变了‘赢得’争论的本质)”可知,作者认为“赢得”争论的关键是通过交流获得彼此的尊重和理解,故选D。

Older people traditionally struggle with new tech, but it doesn’t have to be this way. With the right design, even the most unwilling user can obtain the benefits.
A lack of understanding of technology and its benefits, along with difficulty in using hi-tech products, such as a smartphone or computer, leads to the result that many seniors hesitate to migrate from the old to the new. This is a mistake.
Older people themselves must consider whether they want to embrace new technology, or let the benefits pass them by. Technology, often in the form of social media, has enabled seniors to meet new friends, keep in touch with old ones and learn new skills.
The reasons why some older people adopt new technology are likely to be twofold: they’re forced to do so and they want to make their lives easier. These reasons are important for anyone who realizes seniors need to be convinced to engage with technology to consider.
Adopting new technology is often imperative for modern people to do, yet some elderly still insist, “I have managed before without technology. Why do I have to use it now?”
Seniors often become frustrated with technology. “It’s not working, ” is a complaint co-author Lucia heard many times from her late father, especially when it came to his cell phone-and he used technology well, for the most part. Often, the problem was that he was unable to use the small keypad( 键盘) on his phone or read the letter size of the words in text messages he received.
One issue that needs to be addressed is the design of technology. Seniors want web pages to be simple and clear, and navigation easy. One study from 2005 shows that many seniors like a website to be user-friendly with a simple interface (界面).
“A simpler and more uniformly designed internet would help to break down the psychological barriers outlined, ”it states. While that study was carried out years ago, this problem with web design still stands.
12. Why do older people hesitate to embrace new techs?
A. They misunderstand computer’s design.
B. They are unwilling to change into the new.
C. They lack access to smartphones and computers.
D. They have difficulty in using technological products.
13. What does the example of Lucia’s father tell us in paragraph 6?
A. Seniors often feel upset about new technologies.
B. Seniors always face the breakdown of smartphones.
C. Seniors refuse to use the small keypad on their phone.
D. Seniors can’t understand the text messages they receive.
14. What might be discussed in the next paragraph?
A. Ways for web-designers to make internet easier to navigate.
B. Psychological barriers of seniors to adopt new technology.
C. Methods of tackling breaking down issues of computers.
D. Other researches related to seniors’ dissatisfaction.
15. What is the best title of the passage?
A. To use or not to use: a technological dilemma
B. Exploring benefits for seniors to accept hi-techs
C. To say yes to the smartphone: a beautiful mistake
D. Bridging the gap between seniors and technology
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了老年人在当今社会面临新科技的冲击,拒绝或犹豫使用新技术、新产品的现状。本文也提出了应对这一问题的解决措施。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“A lack of understanding of technology and its benefits, along with difficulty in using hi-tech products, such as a smartphone or computer, leads to the result that many seniors hesitate to migrate from the old to the new.(由于缺乏对科技及其好处的了解,再加上难以使用智能手机或电脑等高科技产品,导致许多老年人对从旧产品转向新产品犹豫不决。)”可知,老年人面对新科技时犹豫不决的原因是缺乏对科技和其益处的理解和认识,使用高科技产品时有困难。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中“Seniors often become frustrated with technology. “It’s not working, ” is a complaint co-author Lucia heard many times from her late father, especially when it came to his cell phone-and he used technology well, for the most part. Often, the problem was that he was unable to use the small keypad(键盘) on his phone or read the letter size of the words in text messages he received.(老年人经常对科技感到沮丧。“它不管用,”这是作者之一露西亚从她已故的父亲那里听到过很多次的抱怨,特别是当谈到他的手机时——他在很大程度上很好地使用了科技。通常,问题是他无法使用手机上的小键盘,也无法阅读收到的短信中单词的字母大小。)”可推出,露西亚的爸爸经常抱怨他的智能手机,其原因多在于他没法使用手机上的小键盘,也无法阅读手机上收到的信息,故通过露西亚父亲的例子,文章主要说明的是老年人对使用新科技很沮丧。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。结合最后一段““A simpler and more uniformly designed internet would help to break down the psychological barriers outlined, ”it states. While that study was carried out years ago, this problem with web design still stands.(报告称:“一个更简单、设计更统一互联网将有助于打破上述心理障碍。”虽然这项研究是在几年前进行的,但网页设计的这个问题仍然存在。)”可知,现在的网页设计还存在问题,急需设计一个页面更加简洁、统一的网页页面来解决问题,可推出下一段应当描写网页设计者如何设计出简洁、易于老年人浏览的网页。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Older people traditionally struggle with new tech, but it doesn’t have to be this way. With the right design, even the most unwilling user can obtain the benefits.(传统上,老年人很难接受新技术,但这并不是必然的。有了正确的设计,即使是最不愿意的用户也能从中获益。)”可知,全文主要在处理老年人在使用新科技时面临的困难以及在文中提及了相应的解决办法。故D选项“Bridging the gap between seniors and technology(弥合老年人与科技之间的鸿沟)”适合作为文章的标题。故选D。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Standing on a hill at Cliveden Gardens on a sunny winter day, its dark-green lake surrounded by centuries-old trees took my breath away. ____16____ It’s just a local park near London that I’d never heard of during my eight years living in the UK. As I admired the serene garden, it taught me a lesson about the British culture of understatement.
“The English landscape is more beautiful because its beauty is understated,” my friend Will said to me later as we walked through an exhibition at Tate Britain. He pointed to a painting of a peaceful countryside. “This is the landscape I grew up with”, he said. Unlike grand waterfalls or wild forests, this scenery doesn’t shout about its beauty. ____17____
I wonder if Chinese tourists will explore beyond London. ____18____ Indeed, Oxford and Cambridge and the beloved Lake District National Park are some iconic symbols of Britain. But it would be a pity if they miss out on the lesser-known parts of the English landscape.
____19____ I remember a straight-A classmate once telling me he “survived exams” and another friend from Oxford introducing himself as “studying in the countryside”. This modesty also has its mirror in Chinese culture. I remember my parents’ telling me to work hard but not to brag about my achievements. Chinese culture is full of proverbs such as “real gold will shine sooner or later”, to encourage long-term dedication to one’s chosen area of expertise.
Experiencing both cultures, I’ve realized that the English and Chinese both express achievements with understatement. ____20____ It reflects the unspoken charm in both British and Chinese traditions. And it’s an off-the-beaten-path attraction well worth exploration.
A. Cliveden isn’t a famous holiday place.
B. Rather, its beauty is reserved for the locals only.
C. I’ve been impressed by British humor all the time.
D. They tend to prefer places with a strong reputation.
E. But the more I looked, the more I saw its quiet elegance.
F. Over the years, I’ve become familiar with British modesty.
G. This mix makes me appreciate the unusual beauty of Cliveden.
【答案】16. A 17. E 18. D 19. F 20. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要描述了克莱夫登花园的美丽以及花园带给作者的感悟。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Standing on a hill at Cliveden Gardens on a sunny winter day, its dark-green lake surrounded by centuries-old trees took my breath away.(在一个阳光明媚的冬日,站在克莱夫登花园的一座小山上,深绿色的湖泊被百年古树环绕,这让我屏息凝神)”以及后文“It’s just a local park near London that I’d never heard of during my eight years living in the UK. As I admired the serene garden, it taught me a lesson about the British culture of understatement.(它只是伦敦附近的一个当地公园,我在英国生活的八年里从未听说过它。当我欣赏这个宁静的花园时,它教会了我一个关于英国低调文化的教训)”可知,本句主要说明了上文提到的克莱夫登花园的情况,结合后文提到这是一个公园,故A选项“克莱夫登不是一个著名的度假胜地”符合语境,故选A。
【17题详解】
根据上文““The English landscape is more beautiful because its beauty is understated,” my friend Will said to me later as we walked through an exhibition at Tate Britain. He pointed to a painting of a peaceful countryside. “This is the landscape I grew up with”, he said. Unlike grand waterfalls or wild forests, this scenery doesn’t shout about its beauty.(“英国的风景更美,因为它的美是低调的,”后来我们参观泰特英国美术馆的一个展览时,我的朋友威尔对我说。他指着一幅描绘宁静乡村的画。“这是我成长的环境,”他说。与大瀑布或野生森林不同,这里的风景并不张扬它的美丽)”可知,本句为本段最后一句,故承接上文说明朋友对英国风景的看法,故E选项“但我看得越多,就越能看到它宁静的优雅”符合语境,故选E。
【18题详解】
根据上文“I wonder if Chinese tourists will explore beyond London.(我想知道中国游客是否会去伦敦以外的地方旅游)”以及后文“Indeed, Oxford and Cambridge and the beloved Lake District National Park are some iconic symbols of Britain. But it would be a pity if they miss out on the lesser-known parts of the English landscape.(的确,牛津大学和剑桥大学以及深受人们喜爱的湖区国家公园都是英国的标志性象征。但如果他们错过了英国风景中鲜为人知的部分,那就太遗憾了)”可知,上文提到了中国游客是否回去伦敦以外的地方旅游的疑问,后文则提到了一些著名景点,可知本句是在说明中国游客的旅游特点,故D选项“他们更喜欢名声好的地方”符合语境,故选D。
【19题详解】
根据本段内容“I remember a straight-A classmate once telling me he “survived exams” and another friend from Oxford introducing himself as “studying in the countryside”. This modesty also has its mirror in Chinese culture. I remember my parents’ telling me to work hard but not to brag about my achievements. Chinese culture is full of proverbs such as “real gold will shine sooner or later”, to encourage long-term dedication to one’s chosen area of expertise.(我记得有一次一个全A的同学告诉我,他“通过了考试”,另一个牛津的朋友介绍自己是“在农村学习”。这种谦虚在中国文化中也有反映。我记得我的父母告诉我要努力学习,但不要吹嘘自己的成就。中国文化中充满了“真金迟早会发光”这样的谚语,鼓励人们长期致力于自己选择的专业领域)”可知,本段的主旨是关于谦逊,且后文提到了牛津的朋友,说明本句是在说明英国人的谦虚。故F选项“这些年来,我已经熟悉了英国人的谦逊”符合语境,故选F。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Experiencing both cultures, I’ve realized that the English and Chinese both express achievements with understatement.(经历了这两种文化,我意识到英语和汉语都用低调来表达成就)”以及后文“It reflects the unspoken charm in both British and Chinese traditions. And it’s an off-the-beaten-path attraction well worth exploration.(它反映了中英两国传统中不可言说的魅力。这是一个人迹罕至的景点,非常值得探索)”可知,作者经历了两种文化,且都强调了低调,可知本句承接上文说明文化对作者的影响,后文It指代Cliveden。故G选项“这种混合使我欣赏克利夫登不同寻常的美”符合语境,故选G。

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 the busy city of Oakville, Sarah lived on the third floor of an aging apartment building. Its thin walls and creaky floors did little to shield her from the outside world, let alone the noises from the unit above. Directly above her, the Andersons had a lively family with two energetic young boys, Max and Jake. Max, seven years old, was full of boundless energy, always coming up with new games, while five-year-old Jake followed his brother everywhere, eager to join in the fun. From the moment they moved in, Sarah’s peaceful days were disrupted by the constant thumping, shouts, and laughter coming from upstairs.
As a freelance writer who worked from home, Sarah relied on quiet to focus. But the noise was endless. Every morning, right when she started to get into the flow of writing, the boys would begin their daily noisy behavior. Their footsteps sounded like rushing elephants, and their playtime often turned into wild races across the floor. Sarah tried to be patient at first, but as the weeks turned into months, her frustration grew. She began leaving passive - aggressive notes in the Andersons’ mailbox and even confronted Mrs. Anderson in the hallway. Tensions between the two neighbors increased, and a cold atmosphere settled over their interactions.
One stormy evening, Sarah was deep in thought, working on a crucial project. Suddenly, she heard panicked screams from upstairs, followed by loud crashing sounds. Her heart skipped a beat. Despite her past anger, she didn’t hesitate. She rushed up the stairs and pounded on the Andersons’ door. After a few tense moments, Max and Jake opened the door suddenly, their faces pale and marked with tears.
Inside, Sarah found Mrs. Anderson on the floor, pale and holding her chest. She looked weak and in great pain, her breathing shallow. She immediately called an ambulance and stayed with the family, comforting the frightened boys and holding Mrs. Anderson’s hand until help arrived.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;

Over the next few days, as Mrs. Anderson recovered in the hospital, Sarah took care of Max and Jake.

A week later, Mrs. Anderson and the boys knocked on Sarah’s door.

【答案】范文
Over the next few days, as Mrs. Anderson recovered in the hospital, Sarah took care of Max and Jake. To her surprise, the boys were calmer when engaged in board games and storytime. She discovered Max’s artistic talent through coloring books and Jake’s fascination with building blocks. Gradually, Sarah realized their previous noise stemmed from boredom rather than mischief. She started scheduling quiet activities during her working hours, finding the boys surprisingly cooperative. By the third day, they were whispering “Shh, Sarah’s working” to each other, their footsteps light as feathers.
A week later, Mrs. Anderson and the boys knocked on Sarah’s door. With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Anderson expressed gratitude, handing Sarah noise-canceling headphones and a handmade “Best Neighbor” card. The boys shyly presented a potted plant. “We’re getting play mats,” Mrs. Anderson promised. Sarah smiled, noticing the boys tiptoeing behind their mother. From then on, while occasional laughter still drifted downstairs, Sarah found herself smiling at the sounds. The headphones remained unused in their box.
