After completing a night shift, Jiang Hao heads home. The shadow of the college graduate stretches long in the morning light, bridging the young and the old.
Four years ago, Jiang chose to study eldercare management from dozens of available options. She knew little about eldercare at the time, but somehow felt it was a promising choice. Now, besides working shifts in the eldercare home, Jiang also takes on service requests from elderly individuals. She provides caregiving service at their homes, but often, her role is more focused on chatting with them about family conflicts or current affairs to reduce their sense of loneliness.
In 2020, Shandong Women's University admitted students for its newly established program in eldercare. These highly anticipated students graduated last summer, and many have secured eldercare-related jobs. These students attracted great attention before graduation, as they were reportedly highly sought after by employers at job fairs. While other graduates were busy going through interviews, Jiang and her classmates easily landed jobs due to their highly relevant professional knowledge and skills, along with a lack of competitors within the same age group with similar abilities.
The university's training program does work. Students are provided with comprehensive knowledge in the eldercare field, from basic caregiving service to the operation of eldercare institutions, social work, nutriology (营养学), and the psychology of aging. Besides, students take a complete four-year system of practice, such as months-long practices at eldercare institutions.
Experts argue that the entry of young professionals brings hope to China's eldercare industry, which is dominated by the middle-aged and the less-educated. However, to address the challenges, including intense physical labor, emotional stress, and low social recognition, it is essential to provide young employees with clear career development pathways, improve their working conditions, and help them gain a sense of professional identity.
4. What do elderly individuals want most from Jiang?
A. Commenting on current affairs. B. Keeping company with them.
C. Providing caregiving service. D. Settling their family conflicts.
5. Why did the students catch public interest before graduating?
A They stood out in the job interviews. B. They performed well in competitions.
C. They spread professional knowledge. D. They were in high demand at job fairs.
6. What do we know about the university’s training program?
A. It puts stress on gaining social skills. B. It focuses on vital concepts in books.
C. It integrates academics with practice. D. It cares about students' mental health.
7. How do experts think about the development of eldercare?
A. Rewarding but ignored. B. Essential but expensive.
C. Beneficial but unrealistic. D. Promising but challenging.
C
In the Digital Age, we’ve grown accustomed to instant gratification. With a few clicks, we can access information, shop online, and communicate with people across the globe. However, this convenience has led to a decline in patience. Research suggests that practicing patience can actually improve our well-being and lead to better outcomes in various aspects of life.
Patience has long been regarded as a virtue, and now, scientific evidence firmly supports its numerous benefits. Studies have shown that practicing gratitude and patience can reduce stress, increase happiness, and even improve decision-making skills. For example, delaying immediate rewards in favor of long-term benefits can lead to greater satisfaction and success. This is because patience allows us to think more clearly and avoid impulsive actions that may have negative consequences.
Moreover, patience is crucial in building strong relationships. In a world where instant communication is the norm, people often expect immediate responses. However, taking the time to listen and understand others can lead to deeper connections and more meaningful interactions. For instance, putting off watching a favorite show to spend quality time with family or friends can strengthen bonds and create lasting memories.
Despite these benefits, many people struggle to be patient. The constant stream of notifications and the pressure to respond immediately can make it difficult to practice patience. However, small changes in behavior can make a big difference. For example, setting aside specific times to check emails or social media can help reduce the-urge to respond immediately. Additionally, practicing mindfulness and focusing on the present moment; can improve one’s ability to remain patient.
While the Digital Age has brought many conveniences, it has also weakened our patience. By acknowledging the significance of patience and making a conscious-effort-to-cultivate-it-in-our-daily-lives, we can experience remarkable improvements in our mental health, and overall quality of life.
8. What does the underlined word “gratification” mean in the first paragraph?
A. Gratitude. B. Satisfaction. C. Curiosity. D. Disturbance.
9. Which examples best illustrates the importance of patience in building relationships?
A. John always replies to his friends’ messages within seconds.
B. Tom quickly finishes his homework so that he can watch TV.
C. Lily buys a new dress online without thinking carefully.
D. Mary chooses to chat with her mother instead of playing mobile games.
10. What can be inferred about the author’s attitude towards the Digital Age?
A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Negative. D. Indifferent.
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The Digital Age has made people’s lives more convenient.
B. Patience is a virtue that should be practiced in the Digital Age.
C. Instant gratification is necessary for modern life.
D. Technology has improved people’s ability to communicate.
D
As people are becoming more socially conscious about where their food comes from and how it impacts the planet, they are choosing animal-free plant-based options. Cow-free meat has been around for quite some time and the popularity of brands like Beyond Meat and cultivated meat from Aleph Farms and others are soaring. While there are a large number of plant-based milk substitutes, none of them have the same taste of cow’s milk. Now, an Israeli food-tech startup Remilk created real dairy products without harming a single cow or the planet.
The company stresses that their product Remilk is not a milk substitute but rather is the real deal. Made from a special process called microbial fermentation (微生物发酵), milk is manufactured in a lab instead of in a cow. And the end product is very healthy. “In a very simple way, we take the gene that encodes for the milk protein,” said Aviv Wolff, CEO of Remilk. “The gene functions as an instruction book for the production of the protein it encodes. And so, we insert the gene into a microbe that we’ve developed and it instructs our microbe to produce the specific protein in a very efficient way.”
The company says that the lab-produced milk tastes identical to the real thing and they hope to eventually replace cows by creating every dairy product sold. They expect to roll out plant-based cheese and yogurt in addition to milk. “Remilk was founded with the mission to stop using animals to produce our food because, as dairy lovers, we realize that giving up on milk is not an option,” Wolff said. “But today’s milk comes with an unreasonable price tag. The dairy industry is destructive to our planet, our health, and our animals, and is simply not sustainable anymore.”
The environmental price tag of dairy farming is way too high. According to the World Wildlife Fund, dairy cows add a huge amount of greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere and contribute to global warming and climate change as well as foul the air around them. Dairy operations consume large amounts of water and run-off of manure (粪肥) and fertilizers from these farms get into local waterways. The production of Remilk uses only 5 percent of the resources and produces only I percent of the waste of producing cow’s milk according to the company. And they accomplish this by being 100 percent cruelty-free unlike dairy farms.
12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The production of Remilk. B. The nutritional value of Remilk.
C. The role of gene in making protein D. The process of microbial fermentation.
13. What can we know from Wolff’s words in paragraph 3?
A. Remilk was set up for animal protection. B. Dairy industries should be shut down.
C. Remilk aims to produce animal-free food. D. Prices of cow’s milk are soaring these days.
14. What does the underlined word “foul” probably mean in the last paragraph?
A. Clean. B. Heat. C. Pollute. D. Consume.
15. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Drawing on gene technology, Remilk has developed a variety of dairy products.
B. Conventional dairy industry is anything but eco-friendly.
C. The new technology adopted by Remilk transforms the gene of cows.
D. It’ll be some time before the public get accustomed to the milk substitutes.

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。
My story started one autumn morning, at the bend on a path.
I was 13 years old, and was on the way to school. It was the first time I had caught sight of a fox. Fascinated to the point that I forgot all fear, I dared to go up to it. I had never come so close to a wild animal. There was nobody else around, only me and the fox.
“Hey, fox!” I tried to greet it, though my voice was so weak that it felt like I was saying hello to myself. It didn’t hear me. It stayed there and I watched it. My heart was beating flat out. It was so cute. For a moment, I thought I might be able to touch it.
Throughout the day at school, I could only think of the fox at the big beech (山毛榉) tree. At my return to the place where we met, I was sure I’d find it there.
And I did. This time I gathered a little bit more courage and called out to it, “Fox!” Of course it escaped. But that only made me long to meet it again. I decided that if I could find its kennel (洞) and catch it, I would try and tame (驯服) it, making it my friend.
Thus, I spent most of my free time in the forests trying to find the fox during the following months. But I never saw it again before winter came. During the winter, I followed its footprints far across the fields. Suddenly I was alarmed by the howling of wolves near me. I ran away frightened, stumbled and hurt my ankle. It healed very slowly, so that I had to stay at home during the winter, reading a book about animals of the forest and foxes.
When spring arrived, I was free again. I looked for fox kennels and waited for my fox. To my amazement, it had got young ones but kept moving because of my observations; therefore I decided to observe the fox from a longer distance.
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:
Finally, it would let me get close.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
To my surprise, the day after I took it home, it fled.

After completing a night shift, Jiang Hao heads home. The shadow of the college graduate stretches long in the morning light, bridging the young and the old.
Four years ago, Jiang chose to study eldercare management from dozens of available options. She knew little about eldercare at the time, but somehow felt it was a promising choice. Now, besides working shifts in the eldercare home, Jiang also takes on service requests from elderly individuals. She provides caregiving service at their homes, but often, her role is more focused on chatting with them about family conflicts or current affairs to reduce their sense of loneliness.
In 2020, Shandong Women's University admitted students for its newly established program in eldercare. These highly anticipated students graduated last summer, and many have secured eldercare-related jobs. These students attracted great attention before graduation, as they were reportedly highly sought after by employers at job fairs. While other graduates were busy going through interviews, Jiang and her classmates easily landed jobs due to their highly relevant professional knowledge and skills, along with a lack of competitors within the same age group with similar abilities.
The university's training program does work. Students are provided with comprehensive knowledge in the eldercare field, from basic caregiving service to the operation of eldercare institutions, social work, nutriology (营养学), and the psychology of aging. Besides, students take a complete four-year system of practice, such as months-long practices at eldercare institutions.
Experts argue that the entry of young professionals brings hope to China's eldercare industry, which is dominated by the middle-aged and the less-educated. However, to address the challenges, including intense physical labor, emotional stress, and low social recognition, it is essential to provide young employees with clear career development pathways, improve their working conditions, and help them gain a sense of professional identity.
4. What do elderly individuals want most from Jiang?
A. Commenting on current affairs. B. Keeping company with them.
C. Providing caregiving service. D. Settling their family conflicts.
5. Why did the students catch public interest before graduating?
A. They stood out in the job interviews. B. They performed well in competitions.
C. They spread professional knowledge. D. They were in high demand at job fairs.
6. What do we know about the university’s training program?
A. It puts stress on gaining social skills. B. It focuses on vital concepts in books.
C. It integrates academics with practice. D. It cares about students' mental health.
7. How do experts think about the development of eldercare?
A. Rewarding but ignored. B. Essential but expensive.
C. Beneficial but unrealistic. D. Promising but challenging.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. D

Besides, students take a complete four-year system of practice, such as months-long practices at eldercare institutions.(学生们在养老领域接受了全面的知识教育,从基础的照料服务到养老机构的运营管理,从社会工作到营养学,再到老年心理学,一应俱全。此外,学生们要完成一整套为期四年的实践课程,比如要在养老机构进行长达数月的实习。)”可知,该培养方案将学术知识和实践相结合。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Experts argue that the entry of young professionals brings hope to China's eldercare industry, which is dominated by the middle-aged and the less-educated. However, to address the challenges, including intense physical labor, emotional stress, and low social recognition, it is essential to provide young employees with clear career development pathways, improve their working conditions, and help them gain a sense of professional identity.(专家认为,年轻专业人才的加入给中国养老行业带来了希望,目前该行业主要由中年人和受教育程度较低的人群主导。然而,为了应对养老行业中诸如高强度体力劳动、情绪压力和社会认可度低等挑战,为年轻员工提供清晰的职业发展路径、改善他们的工作条件并帮助他们获得职业认同感至关重要。)”可知,专家认为年轻专业人才的加入给中国养老行业带来了希望,即行业有发展前景。但同时专家也指出行业存在诸如高强度体力劳动、情绪压力和社会认可度低等挑战。所以专家认为养老行业有前景但也面临挑战。故选D。

In the Digital Age, we’ve grown accustomed to instant gratification. With a few clicks, we can access information, shop online, and communicate with people across the globe. However, this convenience has led to a decline in patience. Research suggests that practicing patience can actually improve our well-being and lead to better outcomes in various aspects of life.
Patience has long been regarded as a virtue, and now, scientific evidence firmly supports its numerous benefits. Studies have shown that practicing gratitude and patience can reduce stress, increase happiness, and even improve decision-making skills. For example, delaying immediate rewards in favor of long-term benefits can lead to greater satisfaction and success. This is because patience allows us to think more clearly and avoid impulsive actions that may have negative consequences.
Moreover, patience is crucial in building strong relationships. In a world where instant communication is the norm, people often expect immediate responses. However, taking the time to listen and understand others can lead to deeper connections and more meaningful interactions. For instance, putting off watching a favorite show to spend quality time with family or friends can strengthen bonds and create lasting memories.
Despite these benefits, many people struggle to be patient. The constant stream of notifications and the pressure to respond immediately can make it difficult to practice patience. However, small changes in behavior can make a big difference. For example, setting aside specific times to check emails or social media can help reduce the-urge to respond immediately. Additionally, practicing mindfulness and focusing on the present moment; can improve one’s ability to remain patient.
While the Digital Age has brought many conveniences it has also weakened our patience. By acknowledging the significance of patience and making a conscious-effort-to-cultivate-it-in-our-daily-lives, we can experience remarkable improvements in our mental health, and overall quality of life.
8. What does the underlined word “gratification” mean in the first paragraph?
A. Gratitude. B. Satisfaction. C. Curiosity. D. Disturbance.
9. Which examples best illustrates the importance of patience in building relationships?
A. John always replies to his friends’ messages within seconds.
B. Tom quickly finishes his homework so that he can watch TV.
C. Lily buys a new dress online without thinking carefully.
D. Mary chooses to chat with her mother instead of playing mobile games.
10. What can be inferred about the author’s attitude towards the Digital Age?
A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Negative. D. Indifferent.
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The Digital Age has made people’s lives more convenient.
B. Patience is a virtue that should be practiced in the Digital Age.
C. Instant gratification is necessary for modern life.
D. Technology has improved people’s ability to communicate.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了在数字时代,人们应重视并培养耐心,因为它对身心健康和生活质量有积极影响。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“In the Digital Age, we’ve grown accustomed to instant gratification. With a few clicks, we can access information, shop online, and communicate with people across the globe. However, this convenience has led to a decline in patience. (在数字时代,我们已逐渐习惯了即时gratification。只需点击几下,我们就能获取信息、在线购物并与全球各地的人交流。然而,这种便利导致了耐心的减退。)”可知,在数字时代,只需点击几下,我们就能获取信息、在线购物并与全球各地的人交流,人们已经习惯了即时满足感(即通过简单的操作就能立即获得想要的东西)。所以gratification在此处的意思是“满足,满意”。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Moreover, patience is crucial in building strong relationships. In a world where instant communication is the norm, people often expect immediate responses. However, taking the time to listen and understand others can lead to deeper connections and more meaningful interactions. For instance, putting off watching a favorite show to spend quality time with family or friends can strengthen bonds and create lasting memories. (此外,耐心对于建立牢固的关系至关重要。在一个即时通讯成为常态的世界里,人们往往期望立即得到回应。然而,花时间倾听和理解他人可以带来更深入的联系和更有意义的互动。例如,推迟看最喜欢的节目,与家人或朋友共度美好时光,可以加强彼此的联系,创造持久的回忆。)”可知,“玛丽选择和她妈妈聊天而不是玩手机游戏”最能说明耐心在建立关系中的重要性。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“While the Digital Age has brought many conveniences, it has also weakened our patience.

(虽然数字时代带来了许多便利,但它也削弱了我们的耐心。通过认识到耐心的重要性并有意识地在日常生活中培养它,我们的心理健康和整体生活质量就能得到显著改善。)”可知,作者既提到了数字时代的便利,也指出了它带来的问题(如耐心下降),并提出了培养耐心的建议。因此,作者对数字时代的态度是客观的。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中“Research suggests that practicing patience can actually improve our well-being and lead to better outcomes in various aspects of life. (研究表明,培养耐心实际上可以改善我们的幸福感,并在生活的各个方面带来更好的结果。)”以及最后一段中“By acknowledging the significance of patience and making a conscious effort to cultivate it in our daily lives, we can experience remarkable improvements in our mental health, and overall quality of life. (通过认识到耐心的重要性,并在日常生活中有意识地培养它,我们可以体验到心理健康和整体生活质量的显著提高。)”可知,文章主要讲述了在数字时代,人们已经习惯了即时满足感,但这种便利也导致了人们耐心的下降。研究表明,耐心实际上可以改善我们的幸福感,并在生活的各个方面带来更好的结果。文章还讨论了如何在日常生活中培养耐心。可知,这篇文章的主旨是在数字时代,耐心是一种应该被培养的美德。故选B。
D
As people are becoming more socially conscious about where their food comes from and how it impacts the planet, they are choosing animal-free plant-based options. Cow-free meat has been around for quite some time and the popularity of brands like Beyond Meat and cultivated meat from Aleph Farms and others are soaring. While there are a large number of plant-based milk substitutes, none of them have the same taste of cow’s milk. Now, an Israeli food-tech startup Remilk created real dairy products without harming a single cow or the planet.
The company stresses that their product Remilk is not a milk substitute but rather is the real deal. Made from a special process called microbial fermentation (微生物发酵), milk is manufactured in a lab instead of in a cow. And the end product is very healthy. “In a very simple way, we take the gene that encodes for the milk protein,” said Aviv Wolff, CEO of Remilk. “The gene functions as an instruction book for the production of the protein it encodes. And so, we insert the gene into a microbe that we’ve developed and it instructs our microbe to produce the specific protein in a very efficient way.”
The company says that the lab-produced milk tastes identical to the real thing and they hope to eventually replace cows by creating every dairy product sold. They expect to roll out plant-based cheese and yogurt in addition to milk. “Remilk was founded with the mission to stop using animals to produce our food because, as dairy lovers, we realize that giving up on milk is not an option,” Wolff said. “But today’s milk comes with an unreasonable price tag. The dairy industry is destructive to our planet, our health, and our animals, and is simply not sustainable anymore.”
The environmental price tag of dairy farming is way too high. According to the World Wildlife Fund, dairy cows add a huge amount of greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere and contribute to global warming and climate change as well as foul the air around them. Dairy operations consume large amounts of water and run-off of manure (粪肥) and fertilizers from these farms get into local waterways. The production of Remilk uses only 5 percent of the resources and produces only I percent of the waste of producing cow’s milk according to the company. And they accomplish this by being 100 percent cruelty-free unlike dairy farms.
12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The production of Remilk. B. The nutritional value of Remilk.
C. The role of gene in making protein D. The process of microbial fermentation.
13. What can we know from Wolff’s words in paragraph 3?
A. Remilk was set up for animal protection. B. Dairy industries should be shut down.
C. Remilk aims to produce animal-free food. D. Prices of cow’s milk are soaring these days.
14. What does the underlined word “foul” probably mean in the last paragraph?
A. Clean. B. Heat. C. Pollute. D. Consume.
15. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Drawing on gene technology, Remilk has developed a variety of dairy products.
B. Conventional dairy industry is anything but eco-friendly.
C. The new technology adopted by Remilk transforms the gene of cows.
D. It’ll be some time before the public get accustomed to the milk substitutes.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一家以色列食品科技初创公司Remilk,该公司利用微生物发酵技术生产真正的乳制品,旨在减少对动物的依赖并降低对环境的影响。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“The company stresses that their product Remilk is not a milk substitute but rather is the real deal.

And so, we insert the gene into a microbe that we’ve developed and it instructs our microbe to produce the specific protein in a very efficient way.” (该公司强调,他们的产品Remilk不是牛奶替代品,而是真正的乳制品。它采用一种名为微生物发酵的特殊工艺制成,是在实验室而非奶牛体内生产的。最终产品非常健康。Remilk的首席执行官阿维夫·沃尔夫说:“我们以一种非常简单的方式获取编码牛奶蛋白的基因。”“该基因作为其所编码蛋白质生产的说明书。因此,我们将该基因插入我们开发的一种微生物中,它指示我们的微生物以一种非常有效的方式生产特定的蛋白质。”)”可知,本段主要介绍了Remilk的生产过程,包括其采用的微生物发酵技术以及如何通过基因技术生产特定的蛋白质。因此,第二段主要关于Remilk的生产。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中““Remilk was founded with the mission to stop using animals to produce our food because, as dairy lovers, we realize that giving up on milk is not an option,” Wolff said. “But today’s milk comes with an unreasonable price tag. The dairy industry is destructive to our planet, our health, and our animals, and is simply not sustainable anymore.” (沃尔夫说:“Remilk的成立使命是停止使用动物来生产我们的食物,因为作为乳制品爱好者,我们意识到放弃牛奶不是一种选择。”“但今天的牛奶价格不合理。乳制品行业对我们的星球、我们的健康和我们的动物都具有破坏性,而且根本不可持续。”)”可知,沃尔夫表示,Remilk的成立使命是停止使用动物来生产食物,因为乳制品行业对地球、健康和动物都具有破坏性,且不可持续。由此可推知,Remilk的目标是生产无动物食品。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“According to the World Wildlife Fund, dairy cows add a huge amount of greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere and contribute to global warming and climate change as well as foul the air around them. (据世界自然基金会称,奶牛向大气中排放了大量的温室气体,导致全球变暖和气候变化,同时还会foul它们周围的空气)”可知,根据世界自然基金会的说法,奶牛向大气中排放了大量的温室气体,导致全球变暖和气候变化,并污染了周围的空气。故划线词意思是“污染”。A. Clean.清洁;B. Heat.加热;C. Pollute.污染;D. Consume.消耗。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The environmental price tag of dairy farming is way too high.

The production of Remilk uses only 5 percent of the resources and produces only I percent of the waste of producing cow’s milk according to the company.

(奶牛养殖的环境代价太高了。根据世界自然基金会的说法,奶牛向大气中排放了大量的温室气体,导致全球变暖和气候变化,并污染了周围的空气。奶牛养殖消耗了大量的水,而这些农场的粪便和肥料流入当地水道。根据该公司的说法,Remilk的生产只使用了生产牛奶所需资源的5%,产生的废物也只有生产牛奶的1%。他们通过100%无残忍的方式实现了这一点,这与奶牛场不同)”可推知,传统的奶牛养殖业对环境造成了巨大的破坏,包括排放温室气体、消耗大量水资源以及污染水道等,因此可以推断出传统的奶牛养殖业一点也不环保。故选B。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国扇子有着3000多年历史,兼具实用和审美目的,介绍了其形状、材质、用途等,它就像一座连接过去和现在的桥梁。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:中国扇子有3000多年的历史,兼具实用和审美目的。“a history of...”是固定表达,意为“……的历史”,这里表示泛指有3000多年的历史。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它最初是为了解暑而设计的,如今已成为优雅的象征。“(design) to provide relief from heat”作伴随状语,design(设计)是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语it(指代The Chinese fan)之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动。故填designed。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意:传统上,它们由竹子、纸和丝绸等材料制成,常常有复杂的图案,包括风景、花卉或书法。提示词修饰过去分词短语“made from materials like bamboo, paper and silk”,用副词traditionally作状语,意为“传统的”;句首单词首字母大写。故填Traditionally。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:传统上,它们由竹子、纸和丝绸等材料制成,常常有复杂的图案,包括风景、花卉或书法,这些图案不仅增添了美感,还反映了丰富的艺术遗产。“ not only enhance beauty but also reflect rich artistic heritage”是一个非限定性定语从句,修饰先行词“complicated designs”,指物,关系词将其代入从句中作主语,用关系代词which引导从句。故填which。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意:纵观历史,扇子在不同场合扮演着重要的角色。提示词修饰名词roles,用形容词significant作定语,表示“重要的”。故填significant。
【41题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:此外,扇子被当作礼物赠送以表达尊重或友谊,显示出它们的社会意义。gift(赠送)是谓语动词,与主语“fans”之间是被动关系,结合上下文可知,这里描述的是一般情况,所以用一般现在时的被动语态,主语是复数名词,谓语用复数形式are gifted。故填are gifted。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:虽然现代科技减少了它们的日常使用,但中国扇子因其工艺和文化价值作为纪念品和装饰品仍然很受欢迎。根据句意,表示“作为”,用介词as,符合语境。故填as。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:中国扇子就像一座桥梁,连接着过去和现在。“(connect) the past and present”作伴随状语,connect(连接)是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语“The Chinese fan”之间是主动关系,用现在分词表主动。故填connecting。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:通过将功能与艺术相结合,它展示了一种生动的想象力和几个世纪以来定义中国文化的技艺。提示词作宾语,用名词imagination,意为“想象力”,是不可数名词。故填imagination。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:无论是用于解暑还是因其美丽而被欣赏,中国扇子往往能吸引国内外的人们。“tend to do sth.”是固定用法,意为“倾向于做某事”,用不定式to fascinate作宾语。故填to fascinate。

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。
My story started one autumn morning, at the bend on a path.
I was 13 years old, and was on the way to school. It was the first time I had caught sight of a fox. Fascinated to the point that I forgot all fear, I dared to go up to it. I had never come so close to a wild animal. There was nobody else around, only me and the fox.
“Hey, fox!” I tried to greet it, though my voice was so weak that it felt like I was saying hello to myself. It didn’t hear me. It stayed there and I watched it. My heart was beating flat out. It was so cute. For a moment, I thought I might be able to touch it.
Throughout the day at school, I could only think of the fox at the big beech (山毛榉) tree. At my return to the place where we met, I was sure I’d find it there.
And I did. This time I gathered a little bit more courage and called out to it, “Fox!” Of course it escaped. But that only made me long to meet it again. I decided that if I could find its kennel (洞) and catch it, I would try and tame (驯服) it, making it my friend.
Thus, I spent most of my free time in the forests trying to find the fox during the following months. But I never saw it again before winter came. During the winter, I followed its footprints far across the fields. Suddenly I was alarmed by the howling of wolves near me. I ran away frightened, stumbled and hurt my ankle. It healed very slowly, so that I had to stay at home during the winter, reading a book about animals of the forest and foxes.
When spring arrived, I was free again. I looked for fox kennels and waited for my fox. To my amazement, it had got young ones but kept moving because of my observations; therefore I decided to observe the fox from a longer distance.
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:
Finally, it would let me get close.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
To my surprise, the day after I took it home, it fled.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Finally, it would let me get close. One day, as I sat quietly under the shade of a tree, the fox cautiously approached, its bright and soft eyes fixed on me. I held my breath, not wanting to startle the little creature. As it came closer, I could see the trust in its eyes, and I knew that it had got accustomed to my presence and that our bond had deepened. Over time, I was able to bring it food and even stroke its fur and occasionally, it would huddle peacefully against me as we sat on the green grass, like two old friends. And just like what I’d do to an old friend who seemed to need help, I took it home, thinking I could better take care of it and we could better enjoy each other’s company.
To my surprise, the day after I took it home, it fled. It jumped out of an open window and in no time vanished into the woods. As I watched it slip away, with a nimbleness and grace that was a joy to behold, darting through the underbrush with a fluidity that spoke of its wild nature, I suddenly realized that perhaps the wild called to it more strongly than I ever could. I should never have tried to keep it as a tame pet, because wild creatures were supposed to be roaming in their own home, rather than being confined in mine. I didn’t see it then — not even with the help of that book about foxes, but now, on looking back, I know that my self-acclaimed “love” for it was not love at all, but possession.
【解析】

【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“最后,它会让我接近。”可知,第一段可描写作者成功等到这只狐狸来接近自己,和它相处得很融洽,以及作者把这只狐狸带回了家,以便更好地照顾它。
