Scratchboard (刮板画) is a technique where the artist scratches away ink to reveal a color underneath, usually white. This scratchboard lesson plan is a great way to teach students the importance of highlights in an artwork. It forces them to think in reverse to pull the image from the surface.
Overview and purpose: Students will learn the importance of highlights and lighter values in the creation of artworks. Students will learn the process of scratchboard etching (蚀刻).
Materials: 9'' by 12'' scratchboard paper, graphite (石墨), ink, scratchboard tools or razor blades, ballpoint pens (optional).
Delivery of info: Students will be presented with a demonstration of scratchboard. It is best to demonstrate this technique through the use of a document camera or with smaller groups of students. Graphite can be used to draw the preliminary drawing on the scratchboard paper. Students will then draw images on the surface and use either etching tools or razor blades to scratch away the lighter values and complete a scratchboard etching.
Guided practice: Students will work while the teacher walks around and monitors progress. Students will have 7 days to complete the assignment.
Address: The 3rd floor, Municipal Art Museum.

Somewhere in California, just up a hill from the beach is a high school, where students will meet before traveling to neighboring San Clemente High School on a Saturday fora 2-mile walk to raise money to build a well in a Kenyan village.
Most Kenyans live where clean water is hard to access. The good news is that water that falls in the rainy season is stored far underground, sometimes as deep as 900 feet. But bringing it to the surface can be a challenge. Sometimes, it requires heavy-duty equipment. Shallower wells are less costly but still require manpower and technology to work. A single well can supply water to an entire village, and this can be life-changing.
Weeks before the first annual Healing Hands for Water Walk Fundraiser event in 2012, students walked in the beach town and asked for donations from businesses. They covered a lot more distance than the 2 miles they would cover during the event as student organizers Branner Grimsley, Klara Gundelach and Solveig Erngren pounded on the boardwalk. “But it was worth it to make a difference by helping these people in Africa,” Grimsley said.
Standing on the boardwalk and looking out over the sand to the horizon and beyond, you can see a lifeline reaching from a few dedicated kids to a similar group of kids in an African village. The connection was hard to imagine at first but now seems so real. Students on both sides of the world walk under the same sun. On other days, they would have different places to go, but today, they walk for the same reason: to share the bond of being one human family.
In another Kenyan village, a well was completed. As the villagers excitedly operated the hand pump, the anticipation built. Within minutes, a trickle of clean water flowed, then a gush. It was a miracle in such a dry village. Buckets were filled, and children splashed water. The tears of joy flowed as easily as the well water.
4. What can we know about building wells in Kenya from paragraph 2?
A. It’s costly and useless. B. It’s easy and interesting
C. It’s challenging but cheap D. It’s difficult but worthwhile.
5. Why does paragraph 4 mention the connection?
A. To praise the event’s participants.
B. To show the difficulty of the event.
C. To share the bond of the human family.
D. To highlight the significance of the event.
6. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The excitement of building a well.
B. The requirement for completing a well.
C. The joyous sight of drawing water from a well.
D. The quality of the water from a local village’s well.
7. Which of the following may be the best title for the text?
A. From the Beach to Kenya
B. Students’ Walk on the Beach
C. Walking to a Neighboring School
D. Kenya’s Struggle for Clean Water
C
When the sun reaches its peak activity, known as solar maximum, its magnetic (磁的) field will reverse (逆转). This happens roughly every l1 years, marking an important stage in the solar cycle. It indicates the halfway point of solar maximum, the height of solar activity, and the beginning of the shift toward solar minimum.
The last time the sun’s magnetic field flipped was toward the end of 2013. To understand the magnetic field’s reversal, first, it’s important to be familiar with the solar cycle. This approximately 11-year cycle of solar activity, driven by the sun’s magnetic field, is indicated by the frequency and intensity of sunspots visible on the surface. The height of solar activity during a given solar cycle is known as solar maximum, and current estimates predict it will occur between late 2024 and early 2026.
“But there is another important, less-known cycle, the Hale cycle. This magnetic cycle lasts approximately 22 years, through which the sun’s magnetic field reverses and then reverts to its original state,” Ryan French, a solar astrophysicist, said.
“During solar minimum, the sun’s magnetic field is close to a dipole (偶极子), with one north pole and one south pole, similar to Earth’s magnetic field. But as we shift toward solar maximum, the sun’s magnetic field becomes more complex, without a clear north-south pole separation,” French said. By the time solar maximum passes and solar minimum arrives, the sun has returned to a dipole.
The upcoming switch in polarity will be from the northern to southern magnetic field in the Northern Hemisphere and vice versa in the Southern Hemisphere. “This will bring it to a similar magnetic orientation to Earth, which also has its southern-pointing magnetic field in the Northern Hemisphere,” French explained.
8. How does the author lead in the topic?
A. By citing an instance.
B. By showing a difference.
C. By giving an interpretation.
D. By making a comparison
9. What is the relationship between the sun’s magnetic field and the solar cycle?
A. Uncertain. B. Close. C. Strange. D. Indifferent.
10. Why did French mention Earth’s magnetic field?
A. To make his reasons clear.
B. To make his experiments convincing.
C. To make his prediction accurate.
D. To make his explanation specific.
11. What does the underlined word “orientation” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Emergency. B. Direction. C. Response. D. Procedure.
D
For the past 20 years, I’ve searched libraries and the Internet for others who are thinking about the possible effect of the breakdown of multigenerational families. I’ve been surprised at how few resources exist on this topic. It’s the main reason I chose to finally write Family Revision.
While I’ve expected one of the countless marriage and family writers and thinkers to address this topic, none seem to really understand that the transition (转变) from multigenerational families to nuclear families is at the root of so many of the other symptoms they discuss.
Well, the silence on this topic was finally broken and it was not from a traditional family publication but from David Brooks, The New York Times columnist writing for The Atlantic. In an article nearly the length of a dissertation on this subject, Brooks masterfully exposes the root problem with the modern family.
In the article, Brooks wrote, “When we discuss the problems the country is facing, we don’t talk about family enough. It feels too judgmental, too uncomfortable, and maybe even too religious. But the fact is that the nuclear family has been collapsing in slow motion for decades, and many of our other problems — with education, mental health, and the quality of the labor force — stem from that breakdown. We have left behind the family structure of the past. For most people it’s not coming back.”
Many Americans are hungering to live in multigenerational families, in the way that is new and ancient at the same time. This is a significant opportunity, a chance to thicken and broaden family relationships, a chance to allow more adults and children to live and grow under the loving gaze of a dozen pairs of eyes, and be caught, when they fall, by a dozen pairs of arms. For decades we have been eating at smaller and smaller tables, with fewer and fewer relatives. It’s time for a change.
12. Which word can best describe the breakdown of multigenerational families?
A Damaging. B. Extraordinary. C. Meaningful. D. Ineffective.
13. What does the author think of Brooks’ article?
A. It’s a tradition. B. It’s a victory.
C. It’s a comparison. D. It’s a breakthrough.
14 What can be inferred from Brooks’ article?
A. Most Americans have health problems.
B. America is facing a sea change in society.
C. Focusing on family-related issues is urgent.
D. People benefit from the present family structure.
15. What is the author’s attitude to the structure of multigenerational families?
A. Dismissive. B. Approving. C. Unclear. D. Doubtful.

The frequency of bathing usually depends on your age. It’s more than likely that older people, babies and young children have dry skin, which can lead to eczema (湿疹). ____16____. For most people who have relatively normal skin, bathing every day is OK, and there are things you should pay attention to when taking a shower.
Skin hydration (水合作用) is ensured by the bricks-and-mortar structure of the dead skin cells on the surface, which are bound together by natural moisturising (保湿) materials such as ceramides. Together, they keep moisture in your skin and prevent it from fading, but frequent bathing can wash this barrier away. ____17____. After showering, apply moisturising cream while your skin is still damp, to lock in that moisture, rather than drying yourself thoroughly and then applying cream.
____18____, but most exfoliating (使死皮脱落) cleaning products can cause scratchs on the skin. In general, if you want to exfoliate, acid-based accelerators, such as glycolic or lactic acids, are more gentle. When it comes to your feet, products containing urea, which breaks up dry and dead skin cells, will soften better than abrasive scrubs.
____19____. If you have sensitive skin, avoid heavily sweet-smelling soaps, which contain additives that can cause irritation or allergic reactions.
In general, soapy water will run down your legs and feet anyway. The upper leg and groin area is the part you should wash regularly, because it can become colonised by pathogens. ____20____
A. People often want to cleanse their skin
B. So taking a reasonable number of baths is good for them
C It is important to choose a soap that suits your skin type
D. When purchasing cleaning products, you must be cautious
E. To protect them, avoid taking too hot and too long showers
F. Anyway, you’d better wash thoroughly to remove all the soap remains
G. Remember to always have a break after your bath to keep your skin healthy

Karim had to leave his family and his loneliness was ____29____. Yet, on the site of the cultural festival, he found a new “family” who _____30_____ him with open arms. During the festival’s closing ceremony, Karim was invited to the _____31_____. He was presented with Linda’s painting and was embraced by many locals in a _____32_____ gesture of acceptance and love.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
A thousand miles can be used to describe something very long or very distant, either a dam or a journey. There are more than a dozen Chinese idioms ___36___ (use) the phrase “a thousand miles” in a figurative way. Here are two common ones that seem ___37___(express) a similar idea.
The first one is “An ant’s hole may cause the collapse of a thousand-mile-long dam.” This saying comes from Han Feizi, one of the most important philosophical ___38___ (classic) in ancient China. It sounds quite similar to a ___39___ (know) quotation by American statesman and inventor Benjamin Franklin, ___40___ warned about frittering money away by saying, “Beware of little expenses—a small leak will sink a great ship.”
The other Chinese idiom involving “a thousand miles” is a famous quotation from Lao Tzu, a top ancient Chinese philosopher, author of Daodejing, or the Tao Te Ching, and ___41___ (found) of Taoism, who lived during the later years of the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC). The philosopher once said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins ___42___ a single step.” It’s true that if one doesn’t take the first step, a journey ___43___ (remain) a dream forever. This may also apply to the journey of life, an ambition or an understanding.
Both Chinese idioms indicate that something may seem like a small amount, ___44___ it adds up over time. In English, there are several expressions that echo this same point: “Take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of ____45____ (they),” and “Little and often fills the purse.”

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 a coastal neighborhood where the salty breeze whispered through the trees, lived a man named Jackson, famous for his helpful nature. The community he was part of was no stranger to the destruction of typhoons, which would occasionally sweep in from the sea, unleashing their anger upon the land.
One year, a particularly fierce typhoon struck, its strong winds tearing through the town like a wild beast. Among the many damages it left behind, a large tree in Jackson’s community was uprooted, whose massive trunk became a barrier that blocked the main path, making it difficult for the residents to move about.
The tree was big, its thick branches sprawling across the ground like the body of a giant. It was far too heavy to be moved by hand. And with the aftermath of the typhoon still being dealt with, the vehicles that were usually sent to handle such situations were delayed.
As the residents gathered around the fallen tree, a buzz of conversation filled the air. People all spoke up and expressed their views, but no one seemed willing to take the initiative. It was as if they were all waiting for someone else to step up and lead the way.
Seeing the situation, Jackson decided to take matters into his own hands. He called out to his neighbors, urging them to bring the tools they had — saws (锯), axes and anything that could help in cutting and moving the tree. However, his appeal was met with hesitation, and for a while, nothing changed.
Determined to make a difference, Jackson decided to set an example. He went back to his house and returned with a sturdy saw. With a resolute expression, he approached the fallen tree and began to saw through its thick trunk. His neighbors, who had been mere spectators, began to take notice. Jackson’s figure resonated within them as he worked tirelessly, braving the heat and the difficulty of the task.
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。
Inspired by Jackson’s lead, they joined in the effort.

Somewhere in California, just up a hill from the beach is a high school, where students will meet before traveling to neighboring San Clemente High School on a Saturday fora 2-mile walk to raise money to build a well in a Kenyan village.
Most Kenyans live where clean water is hard to access. The good news is that water that falls in the rainy season is stored far underground, sometimes as deep as 900 feet. But bringing it to the surface can be a challenge. Sometimes, it requires heavy-duty equipment. Shallower wells are less costly but still require manpower and technology to work. A single well can supply water to an entire village, and this can be life-changing.
Weeks before the first annual Healing Hands for Water Walk Fundraiser event in 2012, students walked in the beach town and asked for donations from businesses. They covered a lot more distance than the 2 miles they would cover during the event as student organizers Branner Grimsley, Klara Gundelach and Solveig Erngren pounded on the boardwalk. “But it was worth it to make a difference by helping these people in Africa,” Grimsley said.
Standing on the boardwalk and looking out over the sand to the horizon and beyond, you can see a lifeline reaching from a few dedicated kids to a similar group of kids in an African village. The connection was hard to imagine at first but now seems so real. Students on both sides of the world walk under the same sun. On other days, they would have different places to go, but today, they walk for the same reason: to share the bond of being one human family.
In another Kenyan village, a well was completed. As the villagers excitedly operated the hand pump, the anticipation built. Within minutes, a trickle of clean water flowed, then a gush. It was a miracle in such a dry village. Buckets were filled, and children splashed water. The tears of joy flowed as easily as the well water.
4. What can we know about building wells in Kenya from paragraph 2?
A. It’s costly and useless. B. It’s easy and interesting
C. It’s challenging but cheap D. It’s difficult but worthwhile.
5. Why does paragraph 4 mention the connection?
A. To praise the event’s participants.
B. To show the difficulty of the event.

Sometimes, it requires heavy-duty equipment. Shallower wells are less costly but still require manpower and technology to work. A single well can supply water to an entire village, and this can be life-changing.(好消息是,雨季降下的雨水会被储存在地下深处,有时深达900英尺。但将这些水带到地表却是一项挑战。有时,这需要重型设备。较浅的水井成本较低,但仍需人力和技术来运作。一口水井就能为整个村庄供水,而这可能会彻底改变他们的生活。)”可知,将地下水带到地表可能是有挑战性的,但一口水井就能为整个村庄供水,可能会彻底改变他们的生活,这表明尽管有困难,但建井是值得的。故选D。

主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Somewhere in California, just up a hill from the beach is a high school, where students will meet before traveling to neighboring San Clemente High School on a Saturday fora 2-mile walk to raise money to build a well in a Kenyan village.(在加利福尼亚州的某个地方,海滩旁的一座小山丘上有一所高中,学生们会在一个周六聚集于此,然后前往邻近的圣克莱门特高中,参加一场2英里的步行活动,旨在为肯尼亚一个村庄建造水井筹集资金。)”以及全文内容可知,加利福尼亚州的学生们从海滩旁的学校出发,通过步行活动筹集资金,为肯尼亚的村庄建造水井。选项A“From the Beach to Kenya(从海滩到肯尼亚)”很好地概括文本的主题,体现了活动的起点和终点,以及活动的目的和意义。故选A。
C
When the sun reaches its peak activity, known as solar maximum, its magnetic (磁的) field will reverse (逆转). This happens roughly every l1 years, marking an important stage in the solar cycle. It indicates the halfway point of solar maximum, the height of solar activity, and the beginning of the shift toward solar minimum.
The last time the sun’s magnetic field flipped was toward the end of 2013. To understand the magnetic field’s reversal, first, it’s important to be familiar with the solar cycle. This approximately 11-year cycle of solar activity, driven by the sun’s magnetic field, is indicated by the frequency and intensity of sunspots visible on the surface. The height of solar activity during a given solar cycle is known as solar maximum, and current estimates predict it will occur between late 2024 and early 2026.
“But there is another important, less-known cycle, the Hale cycle. This magnetic cycle lasts approximately 22 years, through which the sun’s magnetic field reverses and then reverts to its original state,” Ryan French, a solar astrophysicist, said.
“During solar minimum, the sun’s magnetic field is close to a dipole (偶极子), with one north pole and one south pole, similar to Earth’s magnetic field. But as we shift toward solar maximum, the sun’s magnetic field becomes more complex, without a clear north-south pole separation,” French said. By the time solar maximum passes and solar minimum arrives, the sun has returned to a dipole.
The upcoming switch in polarity will be from the northern to southern magnetic field in the Northern Hemisphere and vice versa in the Southern Hemisphere. “This will bring it to a similar magnetic orientation to Earth, which also has its southern-pointing magnetic field in the Northern Hemisphere,” French explained.
8. How does the author lead in the topic?
A. By citing an instance.
B. By showing a difference.
C. By giving an interpretation.
D. By making a comparison
9. What is the relationship between the sun’s magnetic field and the solar cycle?
A. Uncertain. B. Close. C. Strange. D. Indifferent.
10. Why did French mention Earth’s magnetic field?
A. To make his reasons clear.
B. To make his experiments convincing.
C. To make his prediction accurate.
D. To make his explanation specific.
11. What does the underlined word “orientation” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Emergency. B. Direction. C. Response. D. Procedure.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个天文现象:太阳活动达到其峰值时,太阳的磁场将发生逆转。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段内容“When the sun reaches its peak activity, known as solar maximum, its magnetic (磁的) field will reverse (逆转). This happens roughly every l1 years, marking an important stage in the solar cycle. It indicates the halfway point of solar maximum, the height of solar activity, and the beginning of the shift toward solar minimum.(当太阳达到其活动峰值,即太阳活动最大值时,其磁场将反转。这大约每11年发生一次,标志着太阳周期的一个重要阶段。它表示太阳活动最大值的中点、太阳活动的高度以及向太阳活动最小值转变的开始)”可知,作者在第一段对太阳活动峰值做出了解释,以此来引入文章的主题。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“To understand the magnetic field’s reversal, first, it’s important to be familiar with the solar cycle.(要了解磁场的反转,首先,熟悉太阳周期很重要)”可知,太阳磁场和太阳(活动的)周期有着密切的联系。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“During solar minimum, the sun’s magnetic field is close to a dipole (偶极子), with one north pole and one south pole, similar to Earth’s magnetic field.(在太阳活动极小期,太阳的磁场接近偶极子,有一个北极和一个南极,类似于地球的磁场)”可知,作者在第四段第一句提到地球磁场是为了使文章的解释说明更加具体,以便我们能更好地理解太阳磁场的变化。故选D。
【11题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段“The upcoming switch in polarity will be from the northern to southern magnetic field in the Northern Hemisphere and vice versa in the Southern Hemisphere. “This will bring it to a similar magnetic orientation to Earth, which also has its southern-pointing magnetic field in the Northern Hemisphere,” French explained.(即将到来的极性转换将是北半球从北磁场向南磁场,南半球反之亦然。French解释说:“这将使它的磁orientation与地球相似,地球在北半球也有指向南方的磁场。”)”可知,划线词前一句在阐述太阳的磁场方向转换,划线词前面的Similar一词即在指示,这样的磁场方向(orientation)与地球的磁场方向相似。故选B。
D
For the past 20 years, I’ve searched libraries and the Internet for others who are thinking about the possible effect of the breakdown of multigenerational families. I’ve been surprised at how few resources exist on this topic. It’s the main reason I chose to finally write Family Revision.
While I’ve expected one of the countless marriage and family writers and thinkers to address this topic, none seem to really understand that the transition (转变) from multigenerational families to nuclear families is at the root of so many of the other symptoms they discuss.
Well, the silence on this topic was finally broken and it was not from a traditional family publication but from David Brooks, The New York Times columnist writing for The Atlantic. In an article nearly the length of a dissertation on this subject, Brooks masterfully exposes the root problem with the modern family.
In the article, Brooks wrote, “When we discuss the problems the country is facing, we don’t talk about family enough. It feels too judgmental, too uncomfortable, and maybe even too religious. But the fact is that the nuclear family has been collapsing in slow motion for decades, and many of our other problems — with education, mental health, and the quality of the labor force — stem from that breakdown. We have left behind the family structure of the past. For most people it’s not coming back.”
Many Americans are hungering to live in multigenerational families, in the way that is new and ancient at the same time. This is a significant opportunity, a chance to thicken and broaden family relationships, a chance to allow more adults and children to live and grow under the loving gaze of a dozen pairs of eyes, and be caught, when they fall, by a dozen pairs of arms. For decades we have been eating at smaller and smaller tables, with fewer and fewer relatives. It’s time for a change.
12. Which word can best describe the breakdown of multigenerational families?
A. Damaging. B. Extraordinary. C. Meaningful. D. Ineffective.
13. What does the author think of Brooks’ article?
A. It’s a tradition. B. It’s a victory.
C. It’s a comparison. D. It’s a breakthrough.
14. What can be inferred from Brooks’ article?
A. Most Americans have health problems.
B. America is facing a sea change in society.
C. Focusing on family-related issues is urgent.
D. People benefit from the present family structure.
15. What is the author’s attitude to the structure of multigenerational families?
A. Dismissive. B. Approving. C. Unclear. D. Doubtful.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章介绍了多代同堂的家庭结构的瓦解所造成的影响。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“While I’ve expected one of the countless marriage and family writers and thinkers to address this topic, none seem to really understand that the transition (转变) from multigenerational families to nuclear families is at the root of so many of the other symptoms they discuss.(虽然我希望无数以婚姻家庭为主题的作家和思想家中有一位能够解决这个问题,但似乎没有人真正理解,从多代家庭到核心家庭的转变是他们讨论的许多其他症状的根源)”可知,许多人并不知道,从多代同堂的家庭结构向核心家庭的家庭结构的转变是许多问题的根源。再根据第四段第三句“But the fact is that the nuclear family has been collapsing in slow motion for decades, and many of our other problems — with education, mental health, and the quality of the labor force — stem from that breakdown.(但事实是,几十年来,核心家庭一直在缓慢瓦解,我们的许多其他问题——教育、心理健康和劳动力质量——都源于这种瓦解)”可知,多代同堂的家庭结构的瓦解造成了教育、心理健康、劳动力质量等方面的问题。由此可知,多代同堂的家庭结构的瓦解造成了很大的破坏。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。作者在第一段中指出“For the past 20 years, I’ve searched libraries and the Internet for others who are thinking about the possible effect of the breakdown of multigenerational families. I’ve been surprised at how few resources exist on this topic.(在过去的20年里,我在图书馆和互联网上搜索有没有人在思考多代家庭破裂可能带来的影响。我很惊讶关于这个话题的资源很少)”,即研究多代同堂的家庭结构的瓦解可能造成的影响的文章很少。而在第三段中提及“Well, the silence on this topic was finally broken and it was not from a traditional family publication but from David Brooks, The New York Times columnist writing for The Atlantic.(好吧,关于这个话题的沉默终于被打破了,它不是来自传统的家庭出版物,而是来自《纽约时报》为《大西洋月刊》撰稿的专栏作家David Brooks)”,Brooks的文章终于打破了这个现状。所以对作者而言,Brooks的文章就是一项突破。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“In the article, Brooks wrote, “When we discuss the problems the country is facing, we don’t talk about family enough. It feels too judgmental, too uncomfortable, and maybe even too religious. But the fact is that the nuclear family has been collapsing in slow motion for decades, and many of our other problems — with education, mental health, and the quality of the labor force — stem from that breakdown. We have left behind the family structure of the past. For most people it’s not coming back.”(布鲁克斯在文章中写道:“当我们讨论国家面临的问题时,我们很少谈论家庭。它让人感觉太武断,太不舒服,甚至可能太宗教化了。但事实是,核心家庭几十年来一直在缓慢地崩溃,我们的许多其他问题——教育、心理健康和劳动力质量——都源于这种崩溃。我们已经抛弃了过去的家庭结构。对大多数人来说,它不会再回来了。”)”可知,Brooks的文章中提到,当人们谈论国家面临的问题时,很少关注家庭问题,即迫切需要关注与家庭有关的问题。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“Many Americans are hungering to live in multigenerational families, in the way that is new and ancient at the same time. This is a significant opportunity, a chance to thicken and broaden family relationships, a chance to allow more adults and children to live and grow under the loving gaze of a dozen pairs of eyes, and be caught, when they fall, by a dozen pairs of arms. For decades we have been eating at smaller and smaller tables, with fewer and fewer relatives. It’s time for a change.(许多美国人渴望以一种新旧并存的方式生活在多代同堂的家庭中。这是一个重要的机会,一个加深和拓宽家庭关系的机会,是一个让更多的成年人和儿童在十几双眼睛爱的注视下生活和成长的机会,当他们摔倒时,会被十几双胳膊扶住。几十年来,我们的餐桌越来越小,亲戚越来越少。是时候做出改变了)”可知,作者在最后一段中介绍了多代同堂的家庭结构有许多好处。由此可知,作者对多代同堂的家庭结构持支持态度。故选B。

The frequency of bathing usually depends on your age. It’s more than likely that older people, babies and young children have dry skin, which can lead to eczema (湿疹). ____16____. For most people who have relatively normal skin, bathing every day is OK, and there are things you should pay attention to when taking a shower.
Skin hydration (水合作用) is ensured by the bricks-and-mortar structure of the dead skin cells on the surface, which are bound together by natural moisturising (保湿) materials such as ceramides. Together, they keep moisture in your skin and prevent it from fading, but frequent bathing can wash this barrier away. ____17____. After showering, apply moisturising cream while your skin is still damp, to lock in that moisture, rather than drying yourself thoroughly and then applying cream.
____18____, but most exfoliating (使死皮脱落) cleaning products can cause scratchs on the skin. In general, if you want to exfoliate, acid-based accelerators, such as glycolic or lactic acids, are more gentle. When it comes to your feet, products containing urea, which breaks up dry and dead skin cells, will soften better than abrasive scrubs.
____19____. If you have sensitive skin, avoid heavily sweet-smelling soaps, which contain additives that can cause irritation or allergic reactions.
In general, soapy water will run down your legs and feet anyway. The upper leg and groin area is the part you should wash regularly, because it can become colonised by pathogens. ____20____
A. People often want to cleanse their skin
B. So taking a reasonable number of baths is good for them
C. It is important to choose a soap that suits your skin type
D. When purchasing cleaning products, you must be cautious
E. To protect them, avoid taking too hot and too long showers
F. Anyway, you’d better wash thoroughly to remove all the soap remains
G. Remember to always have a break after your bath to keep your skin healthy

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
A thousand miles can be used to describe something very long or very distant, either a dam or a journey. There are more than a dozen Chinese idioms ___36___ (use) the phrase “a thousand miles” in a figurative way. Here are two common ones that seem ___37___(express) a similar idea.
The first one is “An ant’s hole may cause the collapse of a thousand-mile-long dam.” This saying comes from Han Feizi, one of the most important philosophical ___38___ (classic) in ancient China. It sounds quite similar to a ___39___ (know) quotation by American statesman and inventor Benjamin Franklin, ___40___ warned about frittering money away by saying, “Beware of little expenses—a small leak will sink a great ship.”
The other Chinese idiom involving “a thousand miles” is a famous quotation from Lao Tzu, a top ancient Chinese philosopher, author of Daodejing, or the Tao Te Ching, and ___41___ (found) of Taoism, who lived during the later years of the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC). The philosopher once said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins ___42___ a single step.” It’s true that if one doesn’t take the first step, a journey ___43___ (remain) a dream forever. This may also apply to the journey of life, an ambition or an understanding.
Both Chinese idioms indicate that something may seem like a small amount, ___44___ it adds up over time. In English, there are several expressions that echo this same point: “Take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of ____45____ (they),” and “Little and often fills the purse.”
【答案】36. using
37. to express
38. classics
39. known 40. who
41. founder
42. with##at
43. will remain
44. but 45. themselves
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了两个与“千里”有关的成语。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:中国有十几个成语比喻地使用了“千里”这个短语。句中已有谓语动词are,所以空处用非谓语动词形式。idioms与use构成了逻辑上的主动关系,所以用现在分词作后置定语。故填using。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这里有两个常见的表达了类似的概念。seem to do sth.是固定用法,表示“似乎做某事”。故填to express。
【38题详解】
考查名词单复数。句意:这句话出自中国古代最重要的哲学经典之一《韩非子》。classic意为“名著”, 是可数名词。one of the +形容词最高级+复数名词。故填classics。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这听起来很像美国政治家和发明家本杰明·富兰克林的一句名言,他警告人们不要浪费金钱,他说:“谨防小开销——小漏洞会沉大船。”修饰名词应用形容词,此处known是形容词,意为“知名的”,修饰名词quotation。 故填known。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这听起来很像美国政治家和发明家本杰明·富兰克林的一句名言,他警告人们不要浪费金钱,他说:“谨防小开销——小漏洞会沉大船。”空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是Benjamin Franklin,指人,在定语从句中充当主语。因此,此处要用关系代词who 来引导这个非限定性定语从句。故填who。
41题详解】
考查名词。句意:另一个与“千里”有关的成语是老子的名言。老子是中国古代著名哲学家,著有《道德经》,是道教的创始人,他生活在春秋末期(公元前770-476年)。根据句意可知,此处应该填found的名词形式 founder, 意为“创办者”,指老子,应用名词单数形式。 故填founder。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:哲人曾说:“千里之行,始于足下。” begin with/at... 表示“以……开始”,是固定短语。故填with/at。
【43题详解】
考查时态。句意:的确,如果一个人不迈出第一步,旅程将永远是一个梦想。在if引导的条件状语从句中,当从句部分的时态是一般现在时时,主句部分常用一般将来时。所以此处要填will remain。故填will remain。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意:这两个中文成语都表明,有些东西可能看起来数量很少,但随着时间的推移会积累起来。前后句构成转折关系,所以此处用转折连词but。故填but。
【45题详解】
考查代词。句意:在英语中,有几个表达表达了同样的观点:“积少成多”和“小钱积成万”。代指复数名词pounds,且表示“照顾好自己”,所以用反身代词。故填themselves。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In a coastal neighborhood where the salty breeze whispered through the trees, lived a man named Jackson, famous for his helpful nature. The community he was part of was no stranger to the destruction of typhoons, which would occasionally sweep in from the sea, unleashing their anger upon the land.
One year, a particularly fierce typhoon struck, its strong winds tearing through the town like a wild beast. Among the many damages it left behind, a large tree in Jackson’s community was uprooted, whose massive trunk became a barrier that blocked the main path, making it difficult for the residents to move about.
The tree was big, its thick branches sprawling across the ground like the body of a giant. It was far too heavy to be moved by hand. And with the aftermath of the typhoon still being dealt with, the vehicles that were usually sent to handle such situations were delayed.
As the residents gathered around the fallen tree, a buzz of conversation filled the air. People all spoke up and expressed their views, but no one seemed willing to take the initiative. It was as if they were all waiting for someone else to step up and lead the way.
Seeing the situation, Jackson decided to take matters into his own hands. He called out to his neighbors, urging them to bring the tools they had — saws (锯), axes and anything that could help in cutting and moving the tree. However, his appeal was met with hesitation, and for a while, nothing changed.
Determined to make a difference, Jackson decided to set an example. He went back to his house and returned with a sturdy saw. With a resolute expression, he approached the fallen tree and began to saw through its thick trunk. His neighbors, who had been mere spectators, began to take notice. Jackson’s figure resonated within them as he worked tirelessly, braving the heat and the difficulty of the task.
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。
Inspired by Jackson’s lead, they joined in the effort.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Jackson’s action made an impact on the community.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Inspired by Jackson’s lead, they joined in the effort. The once quiet street was now filled with the sounds of sawing and chopping, a symphony of community spirit in action. Children helped by carrying away the smaller branches, while the adults tackled the larger ones. Together, they transformed the scene from one of disorder to one of purposeful cooperation. The tree, which had stood as a symbol of nature’s power, now became a proof of the community’s unity. As the final pieces were moved aside, a cheer rose from the group, a celebration of their collective victory.
Jackson’s action made an impact on the community. Later, when people in the community were in trouble, there was always someone who would lend a helping hand. People would meet and greet each other with a smile. The whole neighborhood showed a harmonious scene. The fallen tree, once a source of inconvenience, stood as a reminder of what could be achieved when neighbors worked together. And as the community returned to their daily routines, they did so with a renewed appreciation for the kindness of a man named Jackson.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了Jackson在台风过后,主动带领社区居民一起清理被台风吹倒的大树,从而激发社区团结互助精神的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“受到Jackson带头的启发,他们加入了努力的行列。”可知,第一段可描写在Jackson的带领下,社区居民们纷纷加入清理大树的行动中,共同合作,最终成功清理了障碍。
②由第二段首句内容“Jackson的行为对社区产生了影响。”可知,第二段可描写Jackson的行动对社区产生的深远影响,居民们变得更加团结互助,社区氛围更加和谐。
2.续写线索:个人行动——集体响应——共同努力——问题解决——影响深远——社区和谐
3.词汇激活
行为类
①充满:was filled with/was brimming with
②伸出援手:lend a helping hand/offer assistance
③互相问候:greet each other/say hello to each other
