Wildlife photographer Ingo Arndt discovered his first enormous ant mound (蚁丘) as a child exploring the forest with his father near their home almost 50 years ago. They were bird-watching and came around a bend in a thickly wooded area when there it was: a five-foot-tall mound, standing upward like a large stalagmite (石笋). Arndt wanted to investigate more closely, but a very particular smell suggested he rethink that. The air felt thick and sharp, discomforting his nose. “All my life,” he says, “I could remember the smell.”
Several years later, Arndt moved to the countryside. He continued his fascination with the mounds and their armies of tiny engineers. Outfitted with a high-resolution camera, he began photographing the mounds and sharing his imagery with researchers for a scientific perspective. It turned out the mound makers were indeed special. They were red wood ants — one of the smallest of all so-called keystone species. Keystone species such as elephants and sharks are watched closely because their behaviors affect so many aspects of the ecosystem that if they disappeared, it would struggle to adapt. Researchers also explained the smell from the mound. As the insects build a nest, they generate formic acid (蚁酸), the origin of the smell, which helps to fight against enemies.
But in recent decades, the population of ants has been declining as the forests have fallen victim to logging, urbanization, and wildfires, as well as drought and higher temperatures that have become more frequent with climate change. This has led several countries across the ants’ range, including Germany, to enlist them as a protected species by law.
Today Arndt’s photos put on display that as social insects, these small ants not only form complex societies, but they also cohabitate with a wide variety of species, creating a mass of coexisting relationships across a variety of plant and animal species. They are also a reminder that by protecting these unnoticed creatures, we are actually protecting ourselves.
4. How was Arndt’s first encounter with the ant mound?
A. It reminded him of a bad experience. B. It left him an unforgettable memory.
C. It aroused his enthusiasm for nature. D. It inspired him to protect the forests.
5. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The wooded area. B. The mound maker.
C. The keystone species. D. The entire ecosystem.
6. What contributed to the decrease in the number of ants?
A. Their worsened habitats. B. Their changing behavior.
C. Their severe competition. D. Their limited population.
7. What is the text mainly intended to tell us?
A. Massive lives exist on earth. B. Tiny species count in nature.
C. Social creatures live in groups. D. Little ants are master architects.
C
It’s a classic complaint in relationships, especially romantic ones: “She said she was okay with me forgetting her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen? Are the two things related? ”
The answer is YES. Communication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word. It’s multi-dimensional, as explored by Deirdre Wilson and Dan Sperber in Meaning and Relevance. Consider the following example: Peter got angry and Mary left; Mary left and Peter got angry. Though identical in words, their meanings differ completely. The first one may have us thinking: Wow, Peter must get angry often if Mary leaves. The second sentence suggests that Peter wants more from Mary. Same words — a totally different context.
Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitter (发出者) and receiver share exactly the same code. ” Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken. .
Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency.
Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning.
8 What does the complaint in Paragraph 1 mainly indicate?
A. The inconsistence between words and meaning. B. The importance of remembering vital moments.
C. The necessity of straightforward communication. D. The unavoidability of argument in a couple's life.
9. What may make human language different from true codes?
A. The context included in understanding meanings.
B. The definitions made by words in communication.
C. The coded communication between emitter and receiver.
D The one-to-one relationship between word and meaning.
10. How does Mary’s statement “That was fun” illustrate about irony?
A. It simplifies language to save time. B. It covers the true feelings of people.
C. It needs wordy explanations to make sense. D. It uses fewer words for complex meanings.
11. What does the author suggest in communication?
A. Focusing on the opposite. B. Taking language literally.
C. Reading beyond the words. D. Avoiding using ironic tones.
D
Suppose you’re preparing for a tennis match. Your mind wanders, envisioning every possible outcome. Do you picture yourself in control? Or does your imagination toy with the idea of failure? The answer matters because it could affect your confidence and, ultimately, how well you will perform in the upcoming match. Although people don’t take such moments spent in their imagination as seriously as they should, it can be just as vital as any physical practice, directly impacting your chances of success.
This is especially the case in high-pressure situations where what’s happening inside your mind outweighs what’s happening outside. Your imagination shapes how you interpret the world around you and is capable of causing the same physiological (生理的) and emotional responses that are caused by external, real-life events. To take just one example, just as emotional pictures and sounds can cause the pupils to widen, so can emotional mental images in the mind.
Another phenomenon highlighting the significance of the imagination is called functional equivalence, which refers to the way the brain doesn’t always distinguish between imagining an action and physically doing it. For instance, when athletes vividly imagine running a race or sinking a basket, their brain scans reveal that the same neural circuits (神经回路) are activated as if they were physically performing the task. Other research with athletes using functional MRI (磁共振成像) has shown that mental practice engages regions of the brain involved in controlling the body and also activates areas linked to focus, motivation and emotional regulation.
The principle of functional equivalence extends beyond sports. In one study, pianists were asked to picture moving their fingers across the keys, hearing the tune, and seeing the sheet music. Astonishingly, the same motor areas in their brains lit up as when they actually played.
Many studies like this have proved the connection between mental imagery and realworld performance. Whether you’re aiming to build confidence or prepare for a challenge, using your imagination with more intention could make all the difference. The key is to switch your mental channel to an image of capability, control and empowerment.
12 How does the author start the text?
A. By giving a definition. B. By explaining an opinion.
C. By presenting a context. D. By sharing an experience.
13. In which aspect is mental imagery the same as actual occurrences according to the text?
A. Requiring body movements. B. Initiating visual stimulations.
C. Affecting physical functions. D. Causing emotional responses.
14. In which case may functional equivalence occur?
A. A learner conducts a discussion with a professor.
B. A doctor envisions the procedure of an operation.
C. A pianist videos finger movements for perfection.
D. A speaker practices a deep breath before a speech.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Positive emotion brightens your life B. Mental imagery boosts your success
C. Imagination enhances your creativity D. Physical practice unlocks your potential

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The old workshop door creaked open. Clara walked in quietly. Her shoes stepped on wood shavings (刨花) that sparkled in the sunlight. Through the dusty windows, the morning light shone on Grandfather’s rough hands. He was gluing a maple chair leg.
The wall calendar still showed January. Its yellowed pages were curling, just like dry leaves. An open order book lay on the desk. February’s page was empty. There had been no new orders since mid-January. Clara held her breath and recorded Grandfather with her phone. She focused on his quick hands as he measured angles with a metal ruler. “This might help him,” she thought, eager to show how skilled he was.
However, when she posted the video online, negative comments flooded in. “Old ways for a dying business!” “No wonder the business is failing!” Saddened, Clara deleted the video quickly. A spider crawled over the empty order book. Its blank pages showed not many people wanted handmade things these days.
“Want to see my treasure?” Grandpa’ s voice broke the silence. He opened a leather album filled with pencil sketches (草图) like library chairs from 1958 and park benches from 1962. A faded photo slipped out: a smiling boy missing two teeth was grinning at the camera, holding a curved (弯曲的) spoon proudly.
“Timmy, my former student,” Grandfather smiled, touching the curve of the spoon in the photo. “Now he designs furniture for tall buildings. Last month’s newspaper had an article about his curved stairs. It was inspired by this very spoon.” He tapped the photo, adding, “Machines make things fast, but hands remember stories.”
Clara looked at the photo — the curved spoon, Timmy’s smile, and Grandpa’s young handwriting on the back: Timmy’s first repair, age 7. Beside her, fresh wood shavings were shining. “Stories must be told,” Clara murmured, taking out her phone again. This time, she aimed to share not just the work, but the story behind it.
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。
Paragraph 1: The next morning, Clara uploaded a new video.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: A week later Timmy, now a famous furniture designer, walked in the workshop.

【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了Urban Bike Shop举办的为期5天的自制自行车工坊活动。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Our committed trainers will take you through step by step instructions in this 5 day workshop to guide you in building your own bike. This workshop will not only provide a satisfying hands on experience but will also expand your knowledge of bike parts, how they work and how to maintain them.(我们敬业的教练将在这个为期5天的工坊里为您提供逐步指导,引导您打造自己的自行车。这个工坊不仅会提供令人满意的实践体验,还会拓展您对自行车部件、它们的工作原理以及如何保养它们的知识)”可知,参与者在工坊中可以获得制造自行车的专门知识。故选B项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据文中“Course Fees: $500 per participant (课程费用:每位学员500美元)”以及第二张图表中“10% Early Bird Discount For Sign ups Before 1 April (4月1日前报名可享9折优惠)”和“*Membership entitles you to an additional cash discount of $30(*会员资格使您享有30美元的额外现金折扣)”可知,课程费用每人500美元,4月1日前报名有10%的早鸟折扣,会员还有额外30美元的现金折扣。3月报名属于早鸟优惠,先打九折,500×(1-10%) = 450美元,会员再减去30美元,450-30 = 420美元。所以Urban Bike Shop的会员3月报名需支付420美元。故选A项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“To promote the joy of cycling and serve as a platform where cyclists can set fitness goals, achieve them, and be rewarded for their efforts, we hope to connect cyclists and inspire them to share their experiences with our year long events.(为了推广骑行的乐趣,成为一个让骑行者可以设定健身目标、实现目标并因努力而获得奖励的平台,我们希望通过全年的活动将骑行者联系起来,并激励他们分享自己的经验)”可知,Urban Bike Shop的长期目标是为骑行者创建一个互动网络。故选C项。

5. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

7. What is the text mainly intended to tell us?
A. Massive lives exist on earth. B. Tiny species count in nature.
C. Social creatures live in groups. D. Little ants are master architects.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过Arndt的经历和对红木蚁的研究,强调了这些微小物种在自然界中的重要性,尤其是它们对生态系统的影响。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Arndt wanted to investigate more closely, but a very particular smell suggested he rethink that. The air felt thick and sharp, discomforting his nose. “All my life,” he says, “I could remember the smell.”(Arndt想更仔细地调查,但一种非常特殊的气味让他重新考虑。空气中味道浓厚,使他的鼻子感到不舒服。“在我的一生中,”他说,“我都记得那种味道。”)”可知,Arndt对蚁丘的气味留下了深刻的印象,这段经历给他留下了难忘的记忆。故选B项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Keystone species such as elephants and sharks are watched closely because their behaviors affect so many aspects of the ecosystem that if they disappeared, it would struggle to adapt.(大象和鲨鱼等关键物种受到密切关注,因为它们的行为会影响生态系统的许多方面,如果它们消失,it将难以适应)”可知,大象和鲨鱼等关键物种的行为影响生态系统的许多方面,如果它们消失,整个生态系统将会很难适应,所以,划线代词it指的是上文提到的生态系统。故选D项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But in recent decades, the population of ants has been declining as the forests have fallen victim to logging, urbanization, and wildfires, as well as drought and higher temperatures that have become more frequent with climate change.(但近几十年来,由于森林受到伐木、城市化、野火以及干旱和高温影响,蚂蚁的数量一直在下降,而干旱和高温随着气候变化而变得更加频繁)”可知,蚂蚁数量的减少是由于森林砍伐、城市化、野火、干旱和气温升高等因素导致的栖息地恶化。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。全文通过Arndt的经历和对红木蚁的研究,强调了这些微小物种在自然界中的重要性,尤其是它们对生态系统的影响。最后一段提到“They are also a reminder that by protecting these unnoticed creatures, we are actually protecting ourselves.(它们也提醒我们,通过保护这些不被注意的生物,我们实际上是在保护自己。)”进一步点明了保护微小物种的意义。故选B项。
C
It’s a classic complaint in relationships, especially romantic ones: “She said she was okay with me forgetting her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen? Are the two things related? ”
The answer is YES. Communication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word. It’s multi-dimensional, as explored by Deirdre Wilson and Dan Sperber in Meaning and Relevance. Consider the following example: Peter got angry and Mary left; Mary left and Peter got angry. Though identical in words, their meanings differ completely. The first one may have us thinking: Wow, Peter must get angry often if Mary leaves. The second sentence suggests that Peter wants more from Mary. Same words — a totally different context.
Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitter (发出者) and receiver share exactly the same code. ” Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken. .
Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency.
Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning.
8. What does the complaint in Paragraph 1 mainly indicate?
A. The inconsistence between words and meaning. B. The importance of remembering vital moments.
C. The necessity of straightforward communication. D. The unavoidability of argument in a couple's life.
9. What may make human language different from true codes?
A. The context included in understanding meanings.
B. The definitions made by words in communication.
C. The coded communication between emitter and receiver.
D. The one-to-one relationship between word and meaning.
10. How does Mary’s statement “That was fun” illustrate about irony?
A. It simplifies language to save time. B. It covers the true feelings of people.
C. It needs wordy explanations to make sense. D. It uses fewer words for complex meanings.
11. What does the author suggest in communication?
A. Focusing on the opposite. B. Taking language literally.
C. Reading beyond the words. D. Avoiding using ironic tones.
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍人类语言交流特点及反语在交流中的作用。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“She said she was okay with me forgetting her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen? Are the two things related?(她说她不介意我忘记她的生日!那她为什么在厨房里摔盘子呢?这两件事有关系吗?)”以及第二段“Communication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word.(交流不仅仅是言语。还包括这些话是怎么说的,语气,顺序,甚至是某个特定单词的选择)”可推知,第一段的抱怨主要表明了言语和意思之间的不一致。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitter (发出者) and receiver share exactly the same code. ” Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken.(人类语言不是一种编码。真正的编码与意义有着一一对应的关系。一种声音,一种定义。这就是我们在动物身上看到的情况。威尔逊和斯珀伯解释说:“当发出者和接收者拥有完全相同的编码时,编码交流效果最佳。”人类则不是这样。我们交流的内容比我们所说的单词的定义要多。这是一种推理交流,这意味着我们不仅理解所说的单词,而且理解它们所使用的语境)”可知,理解意义时所包含的语境使人类语言不同于真正的编码。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency.(反语是一个很好的例子,说明我们如何用几个简单的词来有力地传达语境。它不仅仅是陈述相反的意思。例如,当玛丽在一个无聊的聚会后说“那很有趣”时,她既不是说聚会真的很有趣,也不是“讽刺地”说聚会很无聊。相反,她在表达一种情感。三个字代替了段落,展示了语言的效率)”可知,玛丽的陈述“那很有趣”用更少的词表达了复杂的意思,从而说明了反语的特点。故选 D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning.(威尔逊和斯珀伯得出结论,人类语言之所以发展并变得如此强大,是因为人类有两种独特的能力:语言能力和试图解读他人心理状态的能力。我们为听到的单词寻找语境。我们应该非常善于吸收这种语境来推断意义)” 可推知,作者认为在交流中应该理解话语背后的意思,也就是不仅仅局限于字面意思。故选C。
D
Suppose you’re preparing for a tennis match. Your mind wanders, envisioning every possible outcome. Do you picture yourself in control? Or does your imagination toy with the idea of failure? The answer matters because it could affect your confidence and, ultimately, how well you will perform in the upcoming match. Although people don’t take such moments spent in their imagination as seriously as they should, it can be just as vital as any physical practice, directly impacting your chances of success.
This is especially the case in high-pressure situations where what’s happening inside your mind outweighs what’s happening outside. Your imagination shapes how you interpret the world around you and is capable of causing the same physiological (生理的) and emotional responses that are caused by external, real-life events. To take just one example, just as emotional pictures and sounds can cause the pupils to widen, so can emotional mental images in the mind.
Another phenomenon highlighting the significance of the imagination is called functional equivalence, which refers to the way the brain doesn’t always distinguish between imagining an action and physically doing it. For instance, when athletes vividly imagine running a race or sinking a basket, their brain scans reveal that the same neural circuits (神经回路) are activated as if they were physically performing the task. Other research with athletes using functional MRI (磁共振成像) has shown that mental practice engages regions of the brain involved in controlling the body and also activates areas linked to focus, motivation and emotional regulation.
The principle of functional equivalence extends beyond sports. In one study, pianists were asked to picture moving their fingers across the keys, hearing the tune, and seeing the sheet music. Astonishingly, the same motor areas in their brains lit up as when they actually played.
Many studies like this have proved the connection between mental imagery and realworld performance. Whether you’re aiming to build confidence or prepare for a challenge using your imagination with more intention could make all the difference. The key is to switch your mental channel to an image of capability, control and empowerment.
12. How does the author start the text?
A. By giving a definition. B. By explaining an opinion.
C. By presenting a context. D. By sharing an experience.
13. In which aspect is mental imagery the same as actual occurrences according to the text?
A. Requiring body movements. B. Initiating visual stimulations.
C. Affecting physical functions. D. Causing emotional responses.
14. In which case may functional equivalence occur?
A. A learner conducts a discussion with a professor.
B. A doctor envisions the procedure of an operation.
C. A pianist videos finger movements for perfection.
D. A speaker practices a deep breath before a speech.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Positive emotion brightens your life B. Mental imagery boosts your success
C. Imagination enhances your creativity D. Physical practice unlocks your potential
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述心理意象(mental imagery)对现实表现的影响,介绍了“功能等同”(functional equivalence)理论,指出大脑在想象动作时与实际执行动作会激活相同的神经回路,强调有意运用想象力可提升自信和挑战准备效果。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Suppose you’re preparing for a tennis match. Your mind wanders, envisioning every possible outcome.(假设你正在准备一场网球比赛,你的思绪游离,想象着每一种可能的结果)”可知,作者通过设定一个具体情境(准备网球比赛时的心理活动)引入话题。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Your imagination shapes how you interpret the world around you and is capable of causing the same physiological (生理的) and emotional responses that are caused by external, real-life events.(你的想象力塑造了你对周围世界的理解,并能引起与外部现实生活事件所引起的相同的生理和情感反应)”可知,心理意象与实际事件在“引起情绪反应”方面具有一致性。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Another phenomenon highlighting the significance of the imagination is called functional equivalence, which refers to the way the brain doesn’t always distinguish between imagining an action and physically doing it.(另一个突出想象力重要性的现象称为功能等同,指大脑并不总是能区分想象一个动作和实际执行它)”及“Other research with athletes using functional MRI (磁共振成像) has shown that mental practice engages regions of the brain involved in controlling the body and also activates areas linked to focus, motivation and emotional regulation. (其他对运动员使用功能性磁共振成像的研究表明,心理练习会激活大脑中控制身体的区域,也会激活与专注、动机和情绪调节相关的区域)”可推知,该理论适用于“想象某动作时大脑激活与实际执行相同神经回路” 的场景。B选项“医生设想手术流程”符合“想象动作(envisioning the procedure)”且未实际执行的情境,符合功能等同理论。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章开篇以准备网球比赛时的心理活动为例,引出想象力对实际表现有影响这一话题,接着阐述“功能等同”现象,即大脑对想象动作和实际动作的反应相似以及最后一段“Many studies like this have proved the connection between mental imagery and real - world performance. Whether you’re aiming to build confidence or prepare for a challenge, using your imagination with more intention could make all the difference.(许多这样的研究已经证明了心理意象和现实世界表现之间的联系。无论你是想要建立信心还是为挑战做准备,更有意图地运用你的想象力可能会产生很大的不同)”都表明了心理意象对成功有推动作用。 B选项“心理意象助推成功”最符合文章主旨,是合适的标题。故选 B。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述历经40余年,中国在塔克拉玛干沙漠建成最长防沙屏障,它遏制沙漠扩张,推动产业发展,助力生态恢复。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:塔克拉玛干沙漠,因其“死亡之海”而声名狼藉,如今已被最长的防沙绿色生态屏障完全环绕,其长度达到了令人惊叹的3046公里,标志着40多年来将沙漠扩张控制在安全区域内的努力得以完成。分析句子可知,这里考查非限制性定语从句,先行词为the longest sand-blocking green ecological barrier,在从句中作定语,所以应用关系代词whose引导。故填whose。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语。句意:塔克拉玛干沙漠,因其 “死亡之海” 而声名狼藉,如今已被最长的防沙绿色生态屏障完全环绕,其长度达到了令人惊叹的3046公里,标志着40多年来将沙漠扩张控制在安全区域内的努力得以完成。分析句子可知,这里考查非谓语,mark与前面的句子是主动关系,应用现在分词形式作状语。故填marking。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意:塔克拉玛干沙漠面积达33.76万平方公里,是中国最大的流动沙漠,它对周围的绿洲构成了越来越严重的威胁,并且是该国沙尘暴的重要源头和上风向地区。alarming是形容词,修饰形容词应用副词作状语。故填increasingly。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:为了对抗沙漠化,减轻流沙和沙尘暴对附近居民的不利影响,“绿色长城”逐渐形成。分析句子可知,这里考查“relieve the effects on/upon...”,是固定搭配,表示“减轻对…… 的影响”,所以此处应用介词on或者upon。故填on或upon。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:到目前为止,除了绿化带之外,人们已经努力推动了与沙子相关的产业发展,比如制陶业。分析句子可知。这里考查谓语动词,efforts与make之间是被动关系,再根据So far可知,句子应用现在完成时的被动语态,其结构为“have/has been + 过去分词”,主语efforts是复数,助动词用have。故填have been made。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这条绿化带不仅是一道生态屏障,而且稳定了农业,促进了新疆的经济发展,突显了中国在生态治理方面的技术和组织实力。分析句子可知,ecological barrier是可数名词单数,此处泛指“一道生态屏障”,应用不定冠词,ecological是以元音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词an。故填an。
【42题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:这是一个通过技术创新和组织能力能够实现的成就的光辉典范。分析句子可知,of后面是一个宾语从句,从句中缺少主语,表示“所……的事情”,所以应用连接代词what引导。故填what。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语。句意:到2030年,该正在进行的计划的目标是恢复234万公顷的退化土地,这将保护生态环境并促进地区的可持续发展。target后常用动词不定式作后置定语,a target to do sth.表示“做某事的目标”。故填to restore。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:到2030年,该正在进行的计划的目标是恢复234万公顷的退化土地,这将保护生态环境并促进地区的可持续发展。分析句子可知,development是名词,修饰名词应用形容词作定语。故填regional。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意:随着绿色屏障的成功建成,这个曾经饱受严重沙尘暴困扰的地区将迎来新的生机和充满活力的生态系统。空处作see的宾语,名词vitality,表示“活力;生机”,符合句意,不可数。故填vitality。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The old workshop door creaked open. Clara walked in quietly. Her shoes stepped on wood shavings (刨花) that sparkled in the sunlight. Through the dusty windows, the morning light shone on Grandfather’s rough hands. He was gluing a maple chair leg.
The wall calendar still showed January. Its yellowed pages were curling, just like dry leaves. An open order book lay on the desk. February’s page was empty. There had been no new orders since mid-January. Clara held her breath and recorded Grandfather with her phone. She focused on his quick hands as he measured angles with a metal ruler. “This might help him,” she thought, eager to show how skilled he was.
However, when she posted the video online, negative comments flooded in. “Old ways for a dying business!” “No wonder the business is failing!” Saddened, Clara deleted the video quickly. A spider crawled over the empty order book. Its blank pages showed not many people wanted handmade things these days.
“Want to see my treasure?” Grandpa’ s voice broke the silence. He opened a leather album filled with pencil sketches (草图) like library chairs from 1958 and park benches from 1962. A faded photo slipped out: a smiling boy missing two teeth was grinning at the camera, holding a curved (弯曲的) spoon proudly.
“Timmy, my former student,” Grandfather smiled, touching the curve of the spoon in the photo. “Now he designs furniture for tall buildings. Last month’s newspaper had an article about his curved stairs. It was inspired by this very spoon.” He tapped the photo, adding, “Machines make things fast, but hands remember stories.”
Clara looked at the photo — the curved spoon, Timmy’s smile, and Grandpa’s young handwriting on the back: Timmy’s first repair, age 7. Beside her, fresh wood shavings were shining. “Stories must be told,” Clara murmured, taking out her phone again. This time, she aimed to share not just the work, but the story behind it.
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。

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The next morning Clara uploaded a new video. This time, her camera swept across the leather album’s sketches of Timmy’s curved spoon and lingered on a yellowed newspaper clipping featuring his iconic stairs. As Grandfather narrated their story, she zoomed in on his hands — wrinkled yet steady — shaping a piece of wood into art. The video ended with his voice, “Hands remember stories machines forget.” By noon, comments exploded, “Hands of a legend!” “Need this magic in my home!” Shares of the video skyrocketed. Amid the flood of praise, Clara spotted a message, “I’m coming to see you soon, Master-back to where the magic began!” Her eyes widened at Timmy’s profile picture which just matched the same grin from that faded photo.
A week later, Timmy, now a famous furniture designer, walked in the workshop. He embraced Grandfather, tears glistening. “Your spoon taught me curves have souls,” he said, placing the curved spoon on the desk. Together, they designed a signature chair — Timmy sketching modern lines on his tablet while Grandfather penciling his classic curves. Clara captured the moment: their four hands shaping a maple chair leg together, mirroring the one Grandfather had glued a week before. When Timmy posted the video, orders poured in: new chairs with curved legs, and even wooden benches for the town park. Wood shavings danced in the sunlight as the workshop came back to life, the order book’s empty February page now filled with March’s growing demands.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了 Clara 的祖父经营的手工坊生意惨淡,Clara 首次上传祖父工作视频遭负面评价后删除。祖父向她展示了皮革相册里学生 Timmy 的相关物品,讲述 Timmy 受自己影响成为著名家具设计师的故事,Clara 决定再次拍摄视频,这次要分享手工背后的故事 。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上,Clara上传了一个新视频。”可知,第一段可描述新视频的内容,如视频里展现了祖父的哪些故事和技艺,以及该视频发布后在网络上引发的反应,包括网友的评论、分享量等情况
②由第二段首句内容“一周后,蒂米走进了工作室,他现在已经是一位著名的家具设计师了。”可知,第二段可描写Timmy 来到工作室后的情节展开,如他与祖父的互动,他们之间的对话、情感交流,以及他们共同做了什么事情,最终对工作室产生了怎样的影响。
2.续写线索:上传新视频(介绍视频内容)→视频引发热烈反响(网友评论、分享)→Timmy 看到视频决定拜访→Timmy来到工作室与祖父相聚(拥抱、对话)→两人共同设计椅子(描述设计过程)→Clara记录时刻→Timmy 发布视频→订单涌入,工作室重焕生机 。
