In June 2015, Captain Radhika Menon found herself in charge of the oil tanker (油轮) Sampurna Swarajya, battling dangerous waves in the Bay of Bengal. Little did she know that her leadership would be put to the ultimate test in a dramatic rescue mission.
On June 22, 2015, as the storm continued violently, Second Officer Manoj Chauhan spotted a small boat adrift (漂流) off the coast of Gopalpur, Odisha. Seven fishermen injured and desperate, were losing their struggle to the unforgiving sea. The fishing boat with neither shelter nor anchor had been at sea for seven days. Chinna Rao, 40, and his companions, including a teenager, had gone into the Bay for what was supposed to be a routine fishing expedition. However, the sudden onset (发生) of a violent storm had turned their journey into a fight for survival. The boat sustained damage, and their supplies were lost as they faced the violent wind and waves.
As the fishermen held onto hope, their signals caught the attention of Captain Radhika Menon. With strong determination, she initiated a high-risk rescue operation, facing towering waves and strong winds. The urgency was obvious as the crew prepared for the challenge.
Menon strategically moved the tanker, creating a shelter from the storm. A rope was thrown out, connecting the tanker to the easily broken fishing boat. Despite the sea’s fury (猛烈), the fishermen managed to secure the line, and one by one, they were pulled to safety. The rescue, performed through rain and storm, took about 40 minutes. The seven fishermen were finally on the tanker, filled with emotion.
Sixteen months later, Menon’s bravery was recognized on a global stage. In November 2016, she received the IMO Award for Exceptional Bravery at Sea. Menon, the first female captain in the Indian Merchant Navy, stated that she had merely finished her duty as a sailor.
The rescued fishermen, speaking emotionally from their homes, described Menon as a hero who had saved their lives. The rescue at sea showcased the firm courage of Captain Radhika Menon and her crew, proving that in the face of danger, true heroes emerge.
4. What happened to the seven fishermen?
A They were in a life-or-death struggle in a violent storm.
B. They began a long-standing internal conflict.
C. They were hit violently by another boat.
D. They lost their boat for seven days.
5. How did Menon help the seven fishermen?
A. She called a rescue ship.
B. She sent out high-frequency signals.
C. She fearlessly landed on the fishing boat in person.
D. She used a rope to connect the tanker to the fishing boat.
6. Which of the following can best describe Menon?
A. Skillful and creative. B. Outgoing and demanding.
C. determined and courageous. D. Brave and self-confident.
7. What would be the best title for the text?
A. A heroic rescue B. The impossible task
C. A perfect expedition D. The violence of the sea
C
The United Arab Emirates, 80% desert with only 0.7% farming land, struggles with food supply. Unsurprisingly, the oil-rich nation has offered opportunities to companies aiming to change those statistics, as it attempts to find its way toward food supply.
HyveGeo, launching a project with Cambridge, is the latest startup that has found a way to turn the desert green while turning a profit too. Using agricultural waste and algae (藻类), the company is creating a mixture designed to boost tree planting projects and food production. And through growing algae, it says it can remove climate-warming carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in the process.
The main substance for HyveGeo’s mixture is biochar, a carbon-rich material made by burning organic materials in a low-oxygen environment. HyveGeo is sourcing its organic material from local farms and agricultural waste, and processing it at a pilot site in Abu Dhabi. To date, the site has produced 200 tons of biochar, preventing 800 tons of waste from going to landfill. Biochar itself is fantastic, but if you stick it in desert sand, it doesn’t do that much. HyveGeo has applied algae to their solution. It puts algae through a “bio-processing concept” to get bioactive extracts (提取物), which can be added to biochar to promote plant growth. The company claims to speed up soil creation from years to less than a month.
Trials with tomatoes show promising results: plants are larger and can withstand higher temperatures, indicating the growing medium helps resist climate stress. Partnering with UAE agricultural authorities, HyveGeo aims to grow crops such as wheat, rice, and vegetables locally. Expert Dr. Marcella acknowledges their comprehensive soil-improvement strategy but warns of soil regeneration’s complexity and unknown irrigation (灌溉) needs.
Producing enough algae to meet demand and making HyveGeo’s model commercially practicable are just two challenges it faces. HyveGeo will announce its next round of venture capital funding. “Climate is a long-term thing,” added Welch, HyveGeo chief operations officer. “If we can do our bit to solve the challenge, that’s a wonderful thing.”
8. What can HyveGeo’s project do according to paragraph 2?
A. Achieve double goals. B. Enhance food safety.
C. Reduce agricultural waste. D. Popularize farming methods.
9. How does HyveGeo make biochar function better?
A. By adding it to desert sand. B. By simplifying its processing.
C. By changing its carbon content. D. By mixing it with algae extracts.
10. What’s Dr. Marcella’s attitude towards the soil creation strategy?
A. Cautious. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.
11. What is implied about the project in the last paragraph?
A. It is well received. B. It is highly profitable.
C. It needs financial support. D. It resolves climate challenge.
D
Understanding a simple-looking English sentence such as “I read this article yesterday” actually requires some complicated conceptual computation: a subject (“I”) performed an action (“read”) on an object (“article”) at a specific time (“yesterday”). But the human brain routinely does this work nearly at once based on the language’s grammatical rules, says linguist Andrea E. Martin. And Martin’s team has now found that the human brain can accommodate fundamental grammatical differences across languages by adjusting how it processes each sentence.
For a recent study in PLOS Biology, the researchers observed variations in Dutch-speaking participants’ brain waves while they listened to a Dutch-language audiobook. To visualize these changes, the scientists used a metric (指标) quantifying how many new “predictions” the brain makes of words that could come next in a sentence. This framework was then tested against three different parsing (语法分析的) strategies, or linguistic models that illustrate how the brain builds information over time.
Previous English-based studies with a similar setup concluded in favor of a model where listeners “wait and see” how each phrase in a sentence will end before interpreting it. But the Dutch speakers in Martin’s study ever strongly toward a highly predictive model, participants tended to finish each phrase in their head, preemptively before it was complete. (A third model, in which listeners wait to hear all of the phrases in a sentence before interpreting any part of it, is seldom used in either language.)
In Dutch language structure, verbs come near the end of a sentence rather than immediately after the subject like they do in English, explains study lead author Martin. For instance, “I ate a cookie with chocolate” in Dutch would be “I the cookie with chocolate ate.” “You would have to wait very long for the verb to come,” Martin says. “And that’s probably unrealistically late; you’re probably much more predictive in processing the sentence.”
The findings support the need for scientists to include more diversity when crafting linguistic models. “This is going to help us capture how the brain is understanding the structured meaning of language, and the social application of language,” Martin says. “There’s so much yet to be understood in the brain.”
12. Why does the author cite the example in paragraph 1?
A. To introduce a grammar rule. B. To analyze an English sentence.
C. To bring in a new research finding. D. To stress the complexity of human brain.
13. What does the underlined word “preemptively” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. By accident. B. In advance. C. On time. D. By mistake.
14. Which sentence can match the Dutch language structure?
A. Universe the about documentary saw.
B. Saw I a documentary about the universe.
C. I saw a documentary about the universe.
D. I a documentary about the universe saw.
15. What does Martin try to stress in the last paragraph?
A. The challenges of brain researches.
B. The application of the present findings.
C. The purposes of different linguistic models.
D. The necessity to diversify subjects in studies.

My two best friends were each doing something exciting — Carlos was at the beach rescuing sea turtles, and Natalia was with her mother, a famous designer working for a celebrity in a big city. But for me, things were quite the opposite.
I complained to Mom over the phone about the extreme boredom during the first week of my summer stay on my grandparents’ farm. She said, “Don’t envy others! Just dive into the experience and taste true joy. Not everyone gets the opportunity to live on a farm.”
Her words gave me an idea, so I decided I would compose my social media status updates on the farm. Then, my post hit the feed the next morning:
Alyssa’s Status: 5:54 A.M. The rooster (公鸡) is standing tall on his post, wings shining in the dawn light. He beats his wings, lifts his head high, and declares the start of a brand new day.
Carlos posted at 7:39 A.M. saying he was searching for sea turtle nests on the beach and hoping to find one. Natalia posted at 11:19 A.M., asking which color to paint a rock star’s house. They got 26 and 28 likes respectively. To my great joy, my post got almost the same amount of attention as theirs. Satisfying!
Just as I was about to comment on their posts, Grandma interrupted me, “Alyssa, put your shoes on. We’re off to Haverford’s farm to pick blackberries.” Later that afternoon, I posted about the unexpected fun and described in vivid detail about the fantastic flavors of blackberry pies.
Responses? Carlos said he wished he could taste one while Natalia was envious of my farm adventure. Interesting!
After breakfast the following morning, Grandma said, “I was just thinking that today might be a good day for you to explore the old barn (谷仓). I’ve spotted foxes nearby — maybe you’ll find some adorable baby foxes there.
“That would have potential for a worthy photo to post online,” I thought to myself. Perfect! With curiosity, I approached the old barn, and pushed the door open.
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。
Suddenly, a weak sound was heard from a corner of the barn.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As I was waiting for the comments, something within me started to change.

In June 2015, Captain Radhika Menon found herself in charge of the oil tanker (油轮) Sampurna Swarajya, battling dangerous waves in the Bay of Bengal. Little did she know that her leadership would be put to the ultimate test in a dramatic rescue mission.
On June 22, 2015, as the storm continued violently, Second Officer Manoj Chauhan spotted a small boat adrift (漂流) off the coast of Gopalpur, Odisha. Seven fishermen injured and desperate, were losing their struggle to the unforgiving sea. The fishing boat with neither shelter nor anchor had been at sea for seven days. Chinna Rao, 40, and his companions, including a teenager, had gone into the Bay for what was supposed to be a routine fishing expedition. However, the sudden onset (发生) of a violent storm had turned their journey into a fight for survival. The boat sustained damage, and their supplies were lost as they faced the violent wind and waves.
As the fishermen held onto hope, their signals caught the attention of Captain Radhika Menon. With strong determination, she initiated a high-risk rescue operation, facing towering waves and strong winds. The urgency was obvious as the crew prepared for the challenge.
Menon strategically moved the tanker, creating a shelter from the storm. A rope was thrown out, connecting the tanker to the easily broken fishing boat. Despite the sea’s fury (猛烈), the fishermen managed to secure the line, and one by one, they were pulled to safety. The rescue, performed through rain and storm, took about 40 minutes. The seven fishermen were finally on the tanker, filled with emotion.
Sixteen months later, Menon’s bravery was recognized on a global stage. In November 2016, she received the IMO Award for Exceptional Bravery at Sea. Menon, the first female captain in the Indian Merchant Navy, stated that she had merely finished her duty as a sailor.
The rescued fishermen, speaking emotionally from their homes, described Menon as a hero who had saved their lives. The rescue at sea showcased the firm courage of Captain Radhika Menon and her crew, proving that in the face of danger, true heroes emerge.

The United Arab Emirates, 80% desert with only 0.7% farming land, struggles with food supply. Unsurprisingly, the oil-rich nation has offered opportunities to companies aiming to change those statistics, as it attempts to find its way toward food supply.
HyveGeo, launching a project with Cambridge, is the latest startup that has found a way to turn the desert green while turning a profit too. Using agricultural waste and algae (藻类), the company is creating a mixture designed to boost tree planting projects and food production. And through growing algae, it says it can remove climate-warming carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in the process.
The main substance for HyveGeo’s mixture is biochar, a carbon-rich material made by burning organic materials in a low-oxygen environment. HyveGeo is sourcing its organic material from local farms and agricultural waste, and processing it at a pilot site in Abu Dhabi. To date, the site has produced 200 tons of biochar, preventing 800 tons of waste from going to landfill. Biochar itself is fantastic, but if you stick it in desert sand, it doesn’t do that much. HyveGeo has applied algae to their solution. It puts algae through a “bio-processing concept” to get bioactive extracts (提取物), which can be added to biochar to promote plant growth. The company claims to speed up soil creation from years to less than a month.
Trials with tomatoes show promising results: plants are larger and can withstand higher temperatures, indicating the growing medium helps resist climate stress. Partnering with UAE agricultural authorities, HyveGeo aims to grow crops such as wheat, rice, and vegetables locally. Expert Dr. Marcella acknowledges their comprehensive soil-improvement strategy but warns of soil regeneration’s complexity and unknown irrigation (灌溉) needs.
Producing enough algae to meet demand and making HyveGeo’s model commercially practicable are just two challenges it faces. HyveGeo will announce its next round of venture capital funding. “Climate is a long-term thing,” added Welch, HyveGeo chief operations officer. “If we can do our bit to solve the challenge, that’s a wonderful thing.”
8. What can HyveGeo’s project do according to paragraph 2?
A. Achieve double goals. B. Enhance food safety.
C. Reduce agricultural waste. D. Popularize farming methods.
9. How does HyveGeo make biochar function better?
A. By adding it to desert sand. B. By simplifying its processing.
C. By changing its carbon content. D. By mixing it with algae extracts.
10. What’s Dr. Marcella’s attitude towards the soil creation strategy?
A. Cautious. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.
11. What is implied about the project in the last paragraph?
A. It is well received. B. It is highly profitable.
C. It needs financial support. D. It resolves climate challenge.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Using agricultural waste and algae (藻类), the company is creating a mixture designed to boost tree planting projects and food production. And through growing algae, it says it can remove climate-warming carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in the process.(该公司利用农业废弃物和藻类,制造出一种混合物,旨在促进植树项目和粮食生产。并且通过藻类生长,该公司表示能够在此过程中从大气中去除导致气候变暖的二氧化碳)”可知,HyveGeo 的项目能够实现双重目标。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“HyveGeo has applied algae to their solution. It puts algae through a “bio-processing concept” to get bioactive extracts (提取物), which can be added to biochar to promote plant growth. The company claims to speed up soil creation from years to less than a month.(海维吉奥公司已将藻类应用于其解决方案中。该公司通过一种“生物处理理念”对藻类进行处理,以提取出具有生物活性的提取物,这些提取物可以添加到生物炭中,以促进植物生长。该公司声称,能够将土壤的形成时间从数年缩短至不到一个月)”可知,海维吉奥通过将其与藻类提取物混合让生物炭发挥出更好效果。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Expert Dr. Marcella acknowledges their comprehensive soil-improvement strategy but warns of soil regeneration’s complexity and unknown irrigation (灌溉) needs.(专家玛塞拉博士认可其全面的土壤改良策略,但也警告称土壤再生过程复杂,且灌溉需求未知)”可知,玛塞拉博士对土壤改良策略持谨慎态度。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Producing enough algae to meet demand and making HyveGeo’s model commercially practicable are just two challenges it faces. HyveGeo will announce its next round of venture capital funding. “Climate is a long-term thing,” added Welch, HyveGeo chief operations officer. “If we can do our bit to solve the challenge, that’s a wonderful thing.”(要生产出足以满足需求的藻类,并使 HyveGeo 的模型具备商业可行性,这只是该公司面临的两个挑战而已。HyveGeo 将公布其下一轮的风险投资融资情况。韦尔奇(HyveGeo 的首席运营官)补充道:“气候问题是一个长期存在的问题。”“如果我们能够尽自己的一份力量来解决这个难题,那将是一件非常美好的事情。”)”可知,该项目需要资金支持。故选C。
D
Understanding a simple-looking English sentence such as “I read this article yesterday” actually requires some complicated conceptual computation: a subject (“I”) performed an action (“read”) on an object (“article”) at a specific time (“yesterday”). But the human brain routinely does this work nearly at once based on the language’s grammatical rules, says linguist Andrea E. Martin. And Martin’s team has now found that the human brain can accommodate fundamental grammatical differences across languages by adjusting how it processes each sentence.
For a recent study in PLOS Biology, the researchers observed variations in Dutch-speaking participants’ brain waves while they listened to a Dutch-language audiobook. To visualize these changes, the scientists used a metric (指标) quantifying how many new “predictions” the brain makes of words that could come next in a sentence. This framework was then tested against three different parsing (语法分析的) strategies, or linguistic models that illustrate how the brain builds information over time.
Previous English-based studies with a similar setup concluded in favor of a model where listeners “wait and see” how each phrase in a sentence will end before interpreting it. But the Dutch speakers in Martin’s study ever strongly toward a highly predictive model, participants tended to finish each phrase in their head, preemptively before it was complete. (A third model, in which listeners wait to hear all of the phrases in a sentence before interpreting any part of it, is seldom used in either language.)
In Dutch language structure, verbs come near the end of a sentence rather than immediately after the subject like they do in English, explains study lead author Martin. For instance, “I ate a cookie with chocolate” in Dutch would be “I the cookie with chocolate ate.” “You would have to wait very long for the verb to come,” Martin says. “And that’s probably unrealistically late; you’re probably much more predictive in processing the sentence.”
The findings support the need for scientists to include more diversity when crafting linguistic models. “This is going to help us capture how the brain is understanding the structured meaning of language, and the social application of language,” Martin says. “There’s so much yet to be understood in the brain.”
12. Why does the author cite the example in paragraph 1?
A. To introduce a grammar rule. B. To analyze an English sentence.
C. To bring in a new research finding. D. To stress the complexity of human brain.
13. What does the underlined word “preemptively” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. By accident. B. In advance. C. On time. D. By mistake.
14. Which sentence can match the Dutch language structure?
A. Universe the about documentary saw.
B. Saw I a documentary about the universe.
C. I saw a documentary about the universe.
D. I a documentary about the universe saw.
15. What does Martin try to stress in the last paragraph?
A. The challenges of brain researches.
B. The application of the present findings.
C. The purposes of different linguistic models.
D. The necessity to diversify subjects in studies.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人类大脑如何通过调整每个句子的处理方式来适应不同语言的基本语法差异。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Understanding a simple-looking English sentence such as “I read this article yesterday” actually requires some complicated conceptual computation: a subject (“I”) performed an action (“read”) on an object (“article”) at a specific time (“yesterday”). But the human brain routinely does this work nearly at once based on the language’s grammatical rules, says linguist Andrea E. Martin. And Martin’s team has now found that the human brain can accommodate fundamental grammatical differences across languages by adjusting how it processes each sentence.(理解一个看起来很简单的英语句子,比如“我昨天读了这篇文章”,实际上需要一些复杂的概念计算:一个主语(“我”)在一个特定的时间(“昨天”)对一个宾语(“文章”)执行了一个动作(“阅读”)。但根据语言学家安德里亚·马丁(Andrea E. Martin)的说法,人类的大脑通常会根据语言的语法规则同时完成这一工作。马丁的团队现在发现,人类大脑可以通过调整处理每个句子的方式来适应不同语言之间的基本语法差异。)”可知,文章第一段首先举例说明理解一个看似简单的英语句子其实需要复杂的概念计算,接着提到语言学家马丁的观点,即人类大脑能根据语言的语法规则几乎立刻完成这项工作,并且马丁的团队有了新发现:人类大脑可以通过调整处理每个句子的方式来适应不同语言之间基本的语法差异。所以第一段引用这个例子是为了引入这个新的研究发现。故选C项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词前文“But the Dutch speakers in Martin’s study ever strongly toward a highly predictive model, participants tended to finish each phrase in their head(但在马丁的研究中,说荷兰语的人总是倾向于一个高度预测的模型,参与者倾向于在他们的脑海中完成每一个短语)”提到荷兰语使用者更倾向于高度预测性模型,即在句子短语未完成前,参与者往往在脑海中提前补全,“preemptively”与前文“predictive(预测性的)”呼应,结合后文“before it was complete(在它完成之前)”可知,preemptively词义为“提前地”,B选项“in advance(提前)”符合语境。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“In Dutch language structure, verbs come near the end of a sentence rather than immediately after the subject like they do in English, explains study lead author Martin. For instance, “I ate a cookie with chocolate” in Dutch would be “I the cookie with chocolate ate.” “You would have to wait very long for the verb to come,” Martin says. “And that’s probably unrealistically late; you’re probably much more predictive in processing the sentence.”(该研究的主要作者马丁解释说,在荷兰语的语言结构中,动词出现在句子的末尾,而不是像英语中那样紧跟在主语之后。例如,“I eat a cookie with chocolate”在荷兰语中是“I the cookie with chocolate eat”。“你得等很长时间才能等到动词出现,”马丁说。“这可能是不切实际的晚;你在处理句子时可能会更有预见性。”)”可知,在荷兰语结构中,动词靠近句子末尾,而不是像英语那样紧跟在主语之后。D选项“I a documentary about the universe saw.”中动词“saw”在句子末尾,符合荷兰语结构。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The findings support the need for scientists to include more diversity when crafting linguistic models. “This is going to help us capture how the brain is understanding the structured meaning of language, and the social application of language,” Martin says. “There’s so much yet to be understood in the brain.”(这一发现支持了科学家在构建语言模型时考虑更多多样性的必要性。马丁说:“这将帮助我们了解大脑是如何理解语言的结构意义以及语言的社会应用的。”“大脑中还有很多有待了解的东西。”)”可知,马丁说这些发现支持科学家在构建语言模型时需要纳入更多多样性,表明纳入多样性对理解大脑如何理解语言的结构意义和语言的社会应用有帮助。所以马丁强调的是在研究中使研究对象多样化的必要性。故选D项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
You’ve heard an old Chinese saying before: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. You may even be nodding your head in agreement right now. ____16____.
When a person is starving, that’s not the time to fill their head with knowledge but to first give the person a fish — eradicating their hunger — and only then teach them to fish. ____17____. They see someone who is struggling, and they rush to offer wisdom. “Let me tell you what I’d do in your position,” a well-meaning individual might offer.
A few of us understand the anxiety, confusion and uncertainty that come with overwhelming need. People meeting with personal disasters don’t have the ability to think straight. Their nerves may be shot. ____18____. Can you imagine what it would be like to be in that person’s situation?
____19____. Instead, it makes sense to help people regain emotional balance first. Once their ears, heart and mind open, you’ll have an opportunity to teach a new skill.
How do we know whether a person needs a fish before a fishing lesson? Two things: One is the ability to pay attention. ____20____ You can’t just take their words but have to look at how the person acts and what they don’t say. The other is empathy(共情). The more successful you are, the harder it is to imagine what it must be like to be the opposite. Try to create a safe environment for emotional acceptance before the fishing lesson.
A. Their confidence may be non-existent.
B. People often ignore this common sense first step.
C. However, we can have a different understanding.
D. Here are the reasons why you agree with that point.
E. Thus, teaching’ them: how to fish is the vital thing.
F. Rushing to offer long-term advice is a waste of time.
G. We need to know whether the other person is open or not.
【答案】16. C 17. B 18. A 19. F 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨对“授人以鱼不如授人以渔”这一俗语的不同理解,强调应先解决当下需求再传授方法。
【16题详解】
根据上文“You’ve heard an old Chinese saying before: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. You may even be nodding your head in agreement right now. (你以前听过一句中国古语:“授人以鱼,三餐之需;授人以渔,终生之用。”你现在甚至可能点头表示赞同。)”可知,此处先引出俗语及普遍认同的态度,下文“When a person is starving, that’s not the time to fill their head with knowledge but to first give the person a fish — eradicating their hunger — and only then teach them to fish. (当一个人在挨饿时,此时不应让其满脑子装知识,而应先给他一条鱼——“消除饥饿”——之后再教他捕鱼。)”则提出不同观点。C选项“However, we can have a different understanding. (然而,我们可以有不同的理解。)”中的“However”表转折,引出下文对俗语的新解读,与“先给鱼再教捕鱼”的逻辑形成呼应。故选C项。
【17题详解】
根据上文“When a person is starving, that’s not the time to fill their head with knowledge but to first give the person a fish — eradicating their hunger — and only then teach them to fish.”(当一个人在挨饿时,不该先让他满脑子装知识,而是要先给他一条鱼 —— 消除他的饥饿 —— 然后再教他捕鱼。)及下文“They see someone who is struggling, and they rush to offer wisdom. (他们看到有人在挣扎,就急于提供智慧。)”可知,此处需说明人们常忽视“先给鱼”这一前提。B选项“People often ignore this common sense first step. (人们常常忽视这一常识性的第一步。)”中的“this common sense first step”指代上文“先给鱼消除饥饿”,“ignore”与下文“rush to offer wisdom”形成对比,体现人们对“先解决当下需求”的忽视。故选B项。
18题详解】
根据上文“People meeting with personal disasters don’t have the ability to think straight. Their nerves may be shot. (遭遇个人灾难的人无法正常思考,他们可能“神经紧张”。)”可知,此段描述困境中人们的状态。A选项“Their confidence may be non-existent. (他们可能毫无自信。)”中的“Their confidence”与“nerves may be shot”并列,共同说明灾难对人的影响,且“may be non-existent”与“don’t have the ability to think straight”形成语义递进,符合语境。故选A项。
【19题详解】
根据下文“Instead, it makes sense to help people regain emotional balance first. (相反,先帮助人们恢复情绪平衡是有意义的。)”可知,此空需与“先恢复情绪”形成转折关系。F选项“Rushing to offer long-term advice is a waste of time. (急于提供长期建议是“浪费时间”。)”中的“Rushing to offer long-term advice”对应上文“rush to offer wisdom”,“a waste of time”与“Instead”形成“错误做法—正确做法”的对比,符合“先平衡情绪再教技能”的逻辑。故选F项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“One is the ability to pay attention. (其一是“关注的能力”。)”及下文“You can’t just take their words but have to look at how the person acts and what they don’t say. (你不能只听他们说的话,还要观察他们的行为和未说出口的内容。)”可知,此空需说明“关注能力”的具体表现。G选项“We need to know whether the other person is open or not. (我们需要知道对方是否“敞开心扉”。)”中的“know whether the other person is open”对应“look at how the person acts”,体现“通过行为判断对方是否接受帮助”的关注能力,与下文“观察行为”形成语义衔接。故选G项。

第二节(满分25分)
56. 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 two best friends were each doing something exciting — Carlos was at the beach rescuing sea turtles, and Natalia was with her mother, a famous designer working for a celebrity in a big city. But for me, things were quite the opposite.
I complained to Mom over the phone about the extreme boredom during the first week of my summer stay on my grandparents’ farm. She said “Don’t envy others! Just dive into the experience and taste true joy. Not everyone gets the opportunity to live on a farm.”
Her words gave me an idea, so I decided I would compose my social media status updates on the farm. Then, my post hit the feed the next morning:
Alyssa’s Status: 5:54 A.M. The rooster (公鸡) is standing tall on his post, wings shining in the dawn light. He beats his wings, lifts his head high, and declares the start of a brand new day.
Carlos posted at 7:39 A.M., saying he was searching for sea turtle nests on the beach and hoping to find one. Natalia posted at 11:19 A.M., asking which color to paint a rock star’s house. They got 26 and 28 likes respectively. To my great joy, my post got almost the same amount of attention as theirs. Satisfying!
Just as I was about to comment on their posts, Grandma interrupted me, “Alyssa, put your shoes on. We’re off to Haverford’s farm to pick blackberries.” Later that afternoon, I posted about the unexpected fun and described in vivid detail about the fantastic flavors of blackberry pies.
Responses? Carlos said he wished he could taste one while Natalia was envious of my farm adventure. Interesting!
After breakfast the following morning, Grandma said, “I was just thinking that today might be a good day for you to explore the old barn (谷仓). I’ve spotted foxes nearby — maybe you’ll find some adorable baby foxes there.
“That would have potential for a worthy photo to post online,” I thought to myself. Perfect! With curiosity, I approached the old barn, and pushed the door open.
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。
Suddenly, a weak sound was heard from a corner of the barn.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As I was waiting for the comments, something within me started to change.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Suddenly, a weak sound was heard from a corner of the barn. It was dark inside. I gathered myself and went toward the sound with great care. As I flicked on my phone’s flashlight and saw what was in one of the stalls, I let out a high-pitched squeal — baby foxes! They were crawling out of a hole and then tumbling back down. Adorable! Barely could I contain my thrill and excitement at my first encounter with these wild creatures. Knowing that everyone adored animals, I snapped a hundred photos and quickly updated my post. This time, I knew I’d make everyone jealous, including, of course, my two best friends.
As I was waiting for the comments, something within me started to change. Likes did pour in as anticipated, alongside Carlos and Natalia’s warm words. Yet, the thrill of likes faded as my thoughts wandered to the cute baby foxes’ awkward leaps — no filter could frame this joy. Piece by piece, the farm’s simple wonders surfaced: the unforgettable dawn scene, the fantastic flavors of blackberry pies, the dusty barn, and wild magic, etc., and all these kept me spellbound. Mom was right: true joy wasn’t in crafting envy-worthy posts for likes but in these simple, precious moments spent with my beloved Grandpa on the magic farm.
