Here’ re 4 strangest sports played worldwide.
Zorbing
It’s an extreme sport, but there appears to be no competitive element involved, making it more of a recreational activity than a sport. You get inside a large inflatable orb (充气球) that’s made of plastic, and then the orb is rolled off the top of a hill. The orbs are double layered, ensuring there’s a shock absorber to stop injuries. It originated in New Zealand in the late 1990s (the birthplace of many extreme sports).
Sepak Takraw
It’s a popular sport in Asia and has been around since the 15th century. It translates to “kick ball”, but it’s nothing like soccer. A more accurate comparison to make would be volleyball. Unlike volleyball, however, you’ re not allowed to use your hands and instead you must use your feet, knees or your chin. In the Asian Games Beijing 1990, it was the official competition event for the first time.
Kabaddi
It has a history of more than 4,000 years, and has roots in Indian wrestling and allows you to tackle your opponent to the ground. It’s the national game of Bangladesh and Nepal. Each year there’s a World Cup in South Asia, and India has won this every single year since it started. In the 1990 Asian Games in Beijing, men’s kabaddi became an official event.
Chess Boxing
Dutch performance artist Lepe Rubingh is the inventor. The first competition took place in Berlin in 2003, but it’s since exploded in popularity and it’s now played in Germany, Great Britain, and India, with major organizations and competitions taking place each year. A chess boxing fight consists of 11 rounds (six chess, five boxing), alternating between each sport and lasting three minutes.
21. What can we say about Zorbing?
A It’s highly entertaining. B. It’s the youngest of the four.
C. Its players get injured easily. D. Its aim is to stop using plastic.
22. What can be learned about India according to the text?
A. It is credited with chess boxing. B. It is superior in playing kabaddi.
C. It’s home to many extreme sports. D. It spread Sepak Takraw to South Asia.
23. Which sports became official competition events at the same time?
A. Zorbing and Kabaddi. B. Chess Boxing and Zorbing.
C. Sepak Takraw and Kabaddi. D. Sepak Takraw and Chess Boxing.
B
When I was in my early teens, I was a huge fan of a local band. I saw them play many times, bought plenty of their posters and records, and was excited when I met them after shows. But as they grew and received more attention from the industry, they started making changes to their music. The rough edges(小缺点)that made them stand out were smoothed over. There wasn’t much left that I connected with. I watched as a band I loved turned into something I could hardly recognize.
I didn’t know much about the music industry at the time, but it was clear to me that they were taking a huge risk. Many artists, understandably, think they will find more commercial success by eliminating any aspect of their music or image that someone might find objectionable(令人反感的). However, what is unobjectionable is also unremarkable.
My experience made me think about what makes someone fall in love with a song or a band. It’s different for everyone, I’m sure, but I think one of the key factors that make an artist connect with a fan is realness. When artists write what they think people want to hear instead of what they want to express, they are missing out on points of connection that can turn a casual(偶然的)listener into a super fan.
This experience also made me think about what role I wanted to play in the music industry. I knew by then that I didn’t have the talent to be an artist myself. But I loved learning about the music industry. I loved doing research on what makes an artist successful and why. When I listened to a new artist or saw a band play, I wanted to find out what made them special, protect it, and share it with the world. I eventually figured out that managers are the ones who are in the best position to achieve that.
24. How did the author feel when the band he loved changed its style?
A He was upset. B. He was carefree.
C. He was hopeful of their success. D. He was confused about the reason.
25. What does the underline word “eliminating” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Making up for. B. Getting rid of. C. Making use of. D. Getting used to.
26. What does the author think helps artists win super fans?
A. Having great talent. B. Being true to themselves.
C. Writing songs people like. D. Communicating with listeners.
27. What might the author be now?
A. A pop singer. B. A band director. C. An artist manager. D. An educational researcher.
C
One Saturday last November I stepped into my local library. I was about to read a book when I heard an elderly man speak to a lady. “This library will soon become a café. Everyone is reading with electronic devices,” he said. Hearing this, I wanted to shout, “I still read library books!” But my words stuck in my throat and I found teenagers around me were talking to friends or staring at their phones.
Reading online feels robotic to me. It’s like I stare at a screen and click “next” for the following page to appear until the very end of the e-book, and at the end of all of that, I just think, “That’s it?” But when I read a printed book, it’s like I’m holding on to the characters. I can visualize the plot better, as I can picture the scenes of each moment in my head with more accuracy and imagination.
Besides, some online books miss components that are in the printed novels. For instance, the physical copy of a fantasy novel I have read contains a map, but the e-book version does not. That is an injustice to e-book users; after reading and interpreting the map, the story made a lot more sense for me, in terms of the setting and plot.
And personally, physically turning to the next page is better than clicking “next”. When reading online, I sometimes worry that I click “next” too quickly. It feels more like a race; I want to finish it because the pages just keep making that “flipping” sound and I wonder how long the book really is.
Some printed books have a special smell that makes the novel feel special to me. It’s hard to describe but I’m sure I’m not the only one that thinks so. I know I cannot convince every teen to switch from the digital book to the printed one, but maybe my writing about the difference will at least get some of them to think about it.
28. Why will the library be replaced by a cafe?
A. Few people head for it. B. Few people read its books.
C. It lacks good management. D. It holds little attraction for the youth.
29. Why does the author prefer printed books according to paragraph 2?
A. They leave a vivid impression.
B. They include additional contents.
C. They have a special pleasant smell.
D. They can improve readers’ imagination.
30. What influence does reading online have on the author?
A. Making her tired of reading. B. Leading her to read aimlessly.
C. Stopping her digging into reading. D. Bringing more injustice to her.
31. What is the author’s purpose of writing this text?
A. To awaken teenagers’ interest in reading.
B. To publicize advantages of printed books.
C. To reduce the impact of electronic devices.
D. To encourage teens to change the reading medium.
D
In the world of crime-solving, forensic sketching has emerged as a powerful tool in identifying and capturing criminals. This technique, which involves creating a visual representation of a suspect based on eyewitness descriptions, has been used in solving numerous cases. The process is both an art and a science, requiring not only artistic skills but also a deep understanding of human psychology and memory.
Forensic sketching is not a new concept. It has been used for decades, but recent advancements in technology and psychology have significantly improved its accuracy and effectiveness. Today, forensic artists work closely with law enforcement agencies, using detailed interviews and advanced software to create sketches that can be distributed to the public and used in investigations. One of the most fascinating aspects of forensic sketching is its reliance on the human memory. Eyewitnesses play a crucial role in this process, as their descriptions form the basis of the sketch. However, human memory is not always reliable. Factors such as pressure, injuries, and the passage of time can affect a person’s recollection of events and faces. This is where the skill of the forensic artist comes into play. They must navigate these challenges, asking the right questions and interpreting the descriptions to create a likeness that can lead to the identification of a suspect.
The process begins with a detailed interview. The forensic artist asks the eyewitness to describe the suspect’s facial features, using a database of facial features to help the witness refine their description. Once the initial sketch is completed, it is reviewed and revised based on further feedback from the witness.
Despite its challenges, forensic sketching remains a valuable tool in the fight against crime. It bridges the gap between art and science, combining creativity with precise attention to detail. As technology continues to evolve, the future of forensic sketching looks promising, with the potential for even greater accuracy and efficiency in solving crimes.
32. What is forensic sketching according to Para.1?
A. Drawing crime scenes. B. Creating suspect images.
C. Conducting scientific tests. D. Analyzing criminal evidence.
33. What may affect eyewitness descriptions?
A. Stress and time delays. B. Facial feature databases.
C. Distribution of sketches. D. Drawing skills of forensic artists.
34. What does the passage say about forensic sketching’s future?
A. It will disappear. B. It will stick around.
C. It will be overlooked. D. It will be more of an art.
35. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Artists Helping Solve Crimes B. History of Forensic Sketching
C. New Technology in Police Work D. Problems with Eyewitness Memory

Mia, 44, had a great start to the day. For the first time in years, she had a good night’s sleep.
Her husband and son had gone skiing. While they were on a “man-to-man” vacation, the mother could enjoy her freedom. She could do whatever she wanted for a week. “I’ll take a nap (小睡) before I eat,” Mia thought. She turned around and closed her eyes again.
However, a few minutes later, she woke up to a strange sound. “What’s that?” thought Mia. But when the sound stopped, she turned around again. “It’s probably something outside.” She turned back to the other side of the bed. She heard the sound again. She was sure then that the sound was close. She listened. “It’s coming from the window!” she said after focusing on the sound for a bit. She got out of bed and approached the window. Pulling the curtain aside, she couldn’t believe what she saw.
There were two little squirrels (松鼠) sleeping in a nest. The sounds were coming from here. The curtain in the room had been closed for the past few weeks, so she hadn’t noticed the lovely animals were making a nest here. “I have to get this on camera,” she thought eagerly. She immediately took her camera and took pictures of the cute squirrels. She couldn’t believe her luck. The two baby squirrels hugged each other inside the nest. Mia could tell how peaceful the little animals felt. The window wouldn’t open, or she would have touched them and injured their heads.
“Their mother must have left them alone to look for food,” she thought, trying to get the perfect picture from different angles. Actually, she wanted to take a clear picture of their cute, sleepy faces. However, she got the shock of her life when she brought the camera closer to the squirrels. She saw an eagle staying on a tree opposite, looking at the little squirrels hungrily.
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。
Seeing this, Mia started to shake.

M: Yes, I first went to a live rock concert when I was 7 years old. My brother and his friends were all fans of a heavy metal band called Iron Maiden. They all bought tickets for the show. However, at the last minute, one of his friends couldn’t make it, so my brother gave me the ticket. I was so excited!
W: Then how was the concert?
M: The music was fantastic. We were shouting and cheering. I completely lost myself in the beauty of the music. My ears were still ringing with the beat of the last song after I got home.
W: My uncle’s daughter’s taste in music is similar to that of your brother. I can’t understand why they like this style. For me, I’m into classical music instead of rock music.
M: Ha-ha. My mom likes country music.

A
Here’ re 4 strangest sports played worldwide.
Zorbing
It’s an extreme sport, but there appears to be no competitive element involved, making it more of a recreational activity than a sport. You get inside a large inflatable orb (充气球) that’s made of plastic, and then the orb is rolled off the top of a hill. The orbs are double layered, ensuring there’s a shock absorber to stop injuries. It originated in New Zealand in the late 1990s (the birthplace of many extreme sports).
Sepak Takraw
It’s a popular sport in Asia and has been around since the 15th century. It translates to “kick ball”, but it’s nothing like soccer. A more accurate comparison to make would be volleyball. Unlike volleyball, however, you’ re not allowed to use your hands and instead you must use your feet, knees or your chin. In the Asian Games Beijing 1990, it was the official competition event for the first time.
Kabaddi
It has a history of more than 4,000 years, and has roots in Indian wrestling and allows you to tackle your opponent to the ground. It’s the national game of Bangladesh and Nepal. Each year there’s a World Cup in South Asia, and India has won this every single year since it started. In the 1990 Asian Games in Beijing, men’s kabaddi became an official event.
Chess Boxing
Dutch performance artist Lepe Rubingh is the inventor. The first competition took place in Berlin in 2003, but it’s since exploded in popularity and it’s now played in Germany, Great Britain, and India, with major organizations and competitions taking place each year. A chess boxing fight consists of 11 rounds (six chess, five boxing), alternating between each sport and lasting three minutes.
21. What can we say about Zorbing?
A. It’s highly entertaining. B. It’s the youngest of the four.
C. Its players get injured easily. D. Its aim is to stop using plastic.
22. What can be learned about India according to the text?
A. It is credited with chess boxing. B. It is superior in playing kabaddi.
C. It’s home to many extreme sports. D. It spread Sepak Takraw to South Asia.
23. Which sports became official competition events at the same time?
A. Zorbing and Kabaddi. B. Chess Boxing and Zorbing.
C. Sepak Takraw and Kabaddi. D. Sepak Takraw and Chess Boxing.
【答案】21. A 22. B 23. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四种世界各地奇特的体育运动。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一标题下“It’s an extreme sport, but there appears to be no competitive element involved, making it more of a recreational activity than a sport. (这是一项极限运动,但似乎不涉及任何竞技元素,使其更像是一种娱乐活动而不是一项运动)”可知,Zorbing更像是一种娱乐活动而不是一项运动,应该很有趣。故选A。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三标题下“Each year there’s a World Cup in South Asia, and India has won this every single year since it started. (南亚每年都会举办世界杯,自举办以来,印度每年都获得冠军)”可推知,印度在Kabaddi项目上表现出色,每年都赢得世界冠军。故选B。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二标题下“In the Asian Games Beijing 1990, it was the official competition event for the first time (1990年北京亚运会,首次成为正式比赛项目)”,以及第三标题下“In the 1990 Asian Games in Beijing, men’s kabaddi became an official event (1990年北京亚运会,男子卡巴迪成为正式比赛项目)”可知,Sepak Takraw和Kabaddi都在1990年的亚运会上成为官方比赛项目。故选C。
B
When I was in my early teens, I was a huge fan of a local band. I saw them play many times, bought plenty of their posters and records, and was excited when I met them after shows. But as they grew and received more attention from the industry, they started making changes to their music. The rough edges(小缺点)that made them stand out were smoothed over. There wasn’t much left that I connected with. I watched as a band I loved turned into something I could hardly recognize.
I didn’t know much about the music industry at the time, but it was clear to me that they were taking a huge risk. Many artists, understandably, think they will find more commercial success by eliminating any aspect of their music or image that someone might find objectionable(令人反感的). However, what is unobjectionable is also unremarkable.
My experience made me think about what makes someone fall in love with a song or a band. It’s different for everyone, I’m sure, but I think one of the key factors that make an artist connect with a fan is realness. When artists write what they think people want to hear instead of what they want to express, they are missing out on points of connection that can turn a casual(偶然的)listener into a super fan.
This experience also made me think about what role I wanted to play in the music industry. I knew by then that I didn’t have the talent to be an artist myself. But I loved learning about the music industry. I loved doing research on what makes an artist successful and why. When I listened to a new artist or saw a band play I wanted to find out what made them special, protect it, and share it with the world. I eventually figured out that managers are the ones who are in the best position to achieve that.
24. How did the author feel when the band he loved changed its style?
A. He was upset. B. He was carefree.
C. He was hopeful of their success. D. He was confused about the reason.
25. What does the underline word “eliminating” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Making up for. B. Getting rid of. C. Making use of. D. Getting used to.
26. What does the author think helps artists win super fans?
A. Having great talent. B. Being true to themselves.
C. Writing songs people like. D. Communicating with listeners.
27. What might the author be now?
A. A pop singer. B. A band director. C. An artist manager. D. An educational researcher.
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者曾经喜欢的乐队变得不像以前一样,这让作者思考且明白了到底是什么让一个乐队或者艺术家受到人们的喜欢。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“There wasn’t much left that I connected with. I watched as a band I loved turned into something I could hardly recognize.(我已经没什么可留恋的了。我看着我喜欢的乐队变得我几乎认不出来。)”可知,作者曾经那么喜欢这支乐队,但是这支乐队的改变让作者无所适从,因此可知这个乐队的改变让作者感到伤心难受。故选A项。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段的“Many artists, understandably, think they will find more commercial success by eliminating any aspect of their music or image that someone might find objectionable(令人反感的). However, what is unobjectionable is also unremarkable.(可以理解的是,许多艺术家认为,通过消除他们的音乐或形象中任何有人可能会反感的方面,他们会找到更多的商业成功。然而,无可非议的也并不显著。)”可知,很多艺术家想要获得商业上的成功,所以就要将让人感到反感的方面给去除掉,这样才会让人接受,因此可知,划线词在此次意为“消除”,与B选项Getting rid of“摆脱”语意相近。故选B项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“My experience made me think about what makes someone fall in love with a song or a band. It’s different for everyone, I’m sure, but I think one of the key factors that make an artist connect with a fan is realness.(我敢肯定,对每个人来说都不一样,但我认为让一个艺术家和粉丝联系起来的关键因素之一是真实。)”可知,作者认为只有保持真实的自己,艺术家才有可能赢得粉丝的喜欢。故选B项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“This experience also made me think about what role I wanted to play in the music industry. I knew by then that I didn’t have the talent to be an artist myself. But I loved learning about the music industry. I loved doing research on what makes an artist successful and why. When I listened to a new artist or saw a band play, I wanted to find out what made them special, protect it, and share it with the world. I eventually figured out that managers are the ones who are in the best position to achieve that.(这段经历也让我思考我想在音乐行业扮演什么角色。那时我知道我自己没有成为艺术家的天赋。但是我喜欢了解音乐产业。我喜欢研究艺术家成功的原因。当我听一个新的艺术家或看一个乐队演奏时,我想知道是什么让他们变得特别,保护它,并与世界分享它。我最终发现,经理是最有能力做到这一点的人。)”可知,作者是音乐行业里的人,而作者想让好的乐队和艺术家能够始终如一地保持真实,而能做到这一点的只有经理人,因此可知作者其实就是个艺人经理。故选C项。
C
One Saturday last November, I stepped into my local library. I was about to read a book when I heard an elderly man speak to a lady. “This library will soon become a café. Everyone is reading with electronic devices,” he said. Hearing this, I wanted to shout, “I still read library books!” But my words stuck in my throat and I found teenagers around me were talking to friends or staring at their phones.
Reading online feels robotic to me. It’s like I stare at a screen and click “next” for the following page to appear until the very end of the e-book, and at the end of all of that, I just think, “That’s it?” But when I read a printed book, it’s like I’m holding on to the characters. I can visualize the plot better, as I can picture the scenes of each moment in my head with more accuracy and imagination.
Besides, some online books miss components that are in the printed novels. For instance, the physical copy of a fantasy novel I have read contains a map, but the e-book version does not. That is an injustice to e-book users; after reading and interpreting the map, the story made a lot more sense for me, in terms of the setting and plot.
And personally, physically turning to the next page is better than clicking “next”. When reading online, I sometimes worry that I click “next” too quickly. It feels more like a race; I want to finish it because the pages just keep making that “flipping” sound and I wonder how long the book really is.
Some printed books have a special smell that makes the novel feel special to me. It’s hard to describe but I’m sure I’m not the only one that thinks so. I know I cannot convince every teen to switch from the digital book to the printed one, but maybe my writing about the difference will at least get some of them to think about it.
28. Why will the library be replaced by a cafe?
A. Few people head for it. B. Few people read its books.
C. It lacks good management. D. It holds little attraction for the youth.
29. Why does the author prefer printed books according to paragraph 2?
A. They leave a vivid impression.
B. They include additional contents.
C. They have a special pleasant smell.
D. They can improve readers’ imagination.
30. What influence does reading online have on the author?
A. Making her tired of reading. B. Leading her to read aimlessly.
C. Stopping her digging into reading. D. Bringing more injustice to her.
31. What is the author’s purpose of writing this text?
A. To awaken teenagers’ interest in reading.
B. To publicize advantages of printed books.
C. To reduce the impact of electronic devices.
D. To encourage teens to change the reading medium.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了作者对纸质书和电子书的不同看法,强调了纸质书的优势。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中““This library will soon become a café. Everyone is reading with electronic devices,” he said. (“这家图书馆很快就要变成咖啡馆了。现在人人都用电子设备看书。” 他说)”可知,作者听到一位老人说图书馆很快就会变成一家咖啡馆,因为很少有人去图书馆看书了。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“But when I read a printed book, it’s like I’m holding on to the characters. I can visualize the plot better, as I can picture the scenes of each moment in my head with more accuracy and imagination. (但当我读纸质书时,就好像我抓住了书中的人物。我能更好地想象出情节,因为我能在脑海中更准确、更有想象力地描绘出每一个时刻的场景)”可知,作者更喜欢纸质书是因为纸质书能给作者留下更生动的印象。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“When reading online, I sometimes worry that I click “next” too quickly. It feels more like a race; I want to finish it because the pages just keep making that “flipping” sound and I wonder how long the book really is. (在网上阅读时,我有时会担心自己点击“下一页”的速度太快。这更像是一场比赛;我想读完它,因为书页一直在发出“翻页”的声音,我不知道这本书到底有多长)”可知,作者觉得在线阅读导致作者无法深入阅读。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I know I cannot convince every teen to switch from the digital book to the printed one, but maybe my writing about the difference will at least get some of them to think about it. (我知道我无法说服每个青少年都从电子书转向纸质书,但也许我写的关于两者区别的文章至少能让一些人开始思考这个问题)”可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是鼓励青少年改变阅读媒介,去尝试阅读纸质书。故选D。
D
In the world of crime-solving, forensic sketching has emerged as a powerful tool in identifying and capturing criminals. This technique, which involves creating a visual representation of a suspect based on eyewitness descriptions, has been used in solving numerous cases. The process is both an art and a science, requiring not only artistic skills but also a deep understanding of human psychology and memory.
Forensic sketching is not a new concept. It has been used for decades, but recent advancements in technology and psychology have significantly improved its accuracy and effectiveness. Today, forensic artists work closely with law enforcement agencies, using detailed interviews and advanced software to create sketches that can be distributed to the public and used in investigations. One of the most fascinating aspects of forensic sketching is its reliance on the human memory. Eyewitnesses play a crucial role in this process, as their descriptions form the basis of the sketch. However, human memory is not always reliable. Factors such as pressure, injuries, and the passage of time can affect a person’s recollection of events and faces. This is where the skill of the forensic artist comes into play. They must navigate these challenges, asking the right questions and interpreting the descriptions to create a likeness that can lead to the identification of a suspect.
The process begins with a detailed interview. The forensic artist asks the eyewitness to describe the suspect’s facial features, using a database of facial features to help the witness refine their description. Once the initial sketch is completed, it is reviewed and revised based on further feedback from the witness.
Despite its challenges, forensic sketching remains a valuable tool in the fight against crime. It bridges the gap between art and science, combining creativity with precise attention to detail. As technology continues to evolve, the future of forensic sketching looks promising, with the potential for even greater accuracy and efficiency in solving crimes.
32. What is forensic sketching according to Para.1?
A. Drawing crime scenes. B. Creating suspect images.
C. Conducting scientific tests. D. Analyzing criminal evidence.
33. What may affect eyewitness descriptions?
A. Stress and time delays. B. Facial feature databases.
C. Distribution of sketches. D. Drawing skills of forensic artists.
34. What does the passage say about forensic sketching’s future?
A. It will disappear. B. It will stick around.
C. It will be overlooked. D. It will be more of an art.
35. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Artists Helping Solve Crimes B. History of Forensic Sketching
C. New Technology in Police Work D. Problems with Eyewitness Memory
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。法医素描是依据目击者描述绘制嫌疑人图像的犯罪侦破工具,虽有挑战但前景光明,兼具艺术与科学属性 。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“This technique, which involves creating a visual representation of a suspect based on eyewitness descriptions, has been used in solving numerous cases.(这项技术包括根据目击者的描述为嫌疑人创建一个视觉形象,已被用于解决众多案件)”可知,forensic sketching(法医素描)是创建嫌疑人图像。故选B项。
33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第四句“However, human memory is not always reliable. Factors such as pressure, injuries, and the passage of time can affect a person’s recollection of events and faces.(然而,人类的记忆并不总是可靠的。压力、受伤和时间的推移等因素会影响一个人对事件和面孔的回忆)”可知,压力和时间的推移等因素会影响目击者的描述。故选A项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“As technology continues to evolve, the future of forensic sketching looks promising, with the potential for even greater accuracy and efficiency in solving crimes.(随着技术的不断发展,法医素描的未来看起来很有前景,在解决犯罪问题上有可能实现更高的准确性和效率)”可知,随着技术发展,法医素描未来很有前景,有更高的准确性和效率,所以它会继续存在并发挥作用。故选B项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了法医素描这一技术在犯罪解决中是一种强大的工具,法医艺术家通过根据目击者描述创作嫌疑人图像来协助执法机构破案,强调了艺术家(法医艺术家)在解决犯罪问题上的作用。文章第一段第一句“In the world of crime-solving, forensic sketching has emerged as a powerful tool in identifying and capturing criminals.(在犯罪侦破领域,法医素描已成为识别和抓捕罪犯的有力工具。)”点明主题,所以A选项Artists Helping Solve Crimes(帮助破案的艺术家们)符合文章主旨,可以作为最佳标题。故选A项。

67. 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。
Mia, 44, had a great start to the day. For the first time in years, she had a good night’s sleep.
Her husband and son had gone skiing. While they were on a “man-to-man” vacation, the mother could enjoy her freedom. She could do whatever she wanted for a week. “I’ll take a nap (小睡) before I eat,” Mia thought. She turned around and closed her eyes again.
However, a few minutes later, she woke up to a strange sound. “What’s that?” thought Mia. But when the sound stopped, she turned around again. “It’s probably something outside.” She turned back to the other side of the bed. She heard the sound again. She was sure then that the sound was close. She listened. “It’s coming from the window!” she said after focusing on the sound for a bit. She got out of bed and approached the window. Pulling the curtain aside, she couldn’t believe what she saw.
There were two little squirrels (松鼠) sleeping in a nest. The sounds were coming from here. The curtain in the room had been closed for the past few weeks, so she hadn’t noticed the lovely animals were making a nest here. “I have to get this on camera,” she thought eagerly. She immediately took her camera and took pictures of the cute squirrels. She couldn’t believe her luck. The two baby squirrels hugged each other inside the nest. Mia could tell how peaceful the little animals felt. The window wouldn’t open, or she would have touched them and injured their heads.
“Their mother must have left them alone to look for food,” she thought, trying to get the perfect picture from different angles. Actually, she wanted to take a clear picture of their cute, sleepy faces. However, she got the shock of her life when she brought the camera closer to the squirrels. She saw an eagle staying on a tree opposite, looking at the little squirrels hungrily.
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。
Seeing this, Mia started to shake.

Horribly, the eagle began attacking the nest while Mia waited for the firefighters.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Seeing this, Mia started to shake. Apparently, it was really a hungry eagle there. Her face went pale. She had never encountered such a situation before, and the sudden realization sent a wave of panic through her. “Why does this happen to me when my family is not at home?” she thought. “I need to call them before it’s too late.” She ran to her phone and called her husband. Mia explained the situation to her husband, who replied without hesitation, “Call the firefighters now!” Mia did so quickly.
Horribly, the eagle began attacking the nest while Mia waited for the firefighters. Mia stood by the window, not taking her eyes off the eagle, and kept waving her two hands hard to frighten the eagle away and shouted at it, “Don’t attempt to kill the squirrels. They are staying in my house, not in your house.” Ignoring Mia’s warnings, the eagle attacked the squirrels once again. Mia was in despair. Just then, the firefighters arrived, driving the eagle away in a friendly way. Finally, the baby squirrels were reunited with the mother squirrel. Thanks to Mia’s attention, her guests were saved.
