I was always a reader. As a kid, I walked to the library several times a week and stayed up late reading with a torch. I did my undergraduate degree in English and went on to get a master’s in literature. When I created my online profile, I made my screen name “missbibliophile”. Filling out the “favorite books” section, I let my taste in literature speak for me: One Hundred Years of Solitude, A Moveable Feast, White Teeth, The Namesake, The Known World.
But I realized it had been more than two years since I had read most of those titles. I had stopped reading gradually, the way one heals or dies.
David was my online friend. His profile said he liked to read, so I asked him about his last book. His face lit up and his fingers danced. I told him I only read one book that year. “But it’s June. Read a book!” he said.
I was painfully aware of the glaring hypocrisy (虚伪) in my life. I defended the virtues of bookstores in the age of online retailing and bought books, and they sat on every surface until my house appeared to wear books the way one wears clothes.
His suggestion on “reading a book” echoed in my head. One afternoon, I picked up one I’d bought only for its poetic title. I had a hard time getting into it. Whenever I was tempted to give up on it, I thought of David. I pushed through the first two chapters and discovered a new narrator and I loved the alternating points of view. I read at lunch and on my walk home, occasionally lifting my eyes to avoid strangers and uneven road surface. I stayed up late and finished the book.
I felt great and proud of myself. The last time I’d pulled an all-nighter to read, I was 12. I felt him pushing me to be more of the person I used to be and more of who I wanted to be.
4 Why did the author purposely list many classics in her profile?
A. To show her taste. B. To list books read. C. To fill out the form. D. To indicate her ability.
5. How much do we know about David?
A. He is interested in dancing. B. He is excited about books.
C. He is curious about the Internet. D. He is patient with strangers.
6. How did the author try to appear fond of reading?
A. By refusing online books. B. By decorating her house with books.
C. By wandering about bookstores. D. By constantly buying different books.
7. Why did the author feel proud of herself?
A. She stayed up all night. B. She finished reading a book.
C. She regained passion for books. D. David pushed her to read.
C
Every 40 days a language dies. This “catastrophic” loss is being intensified by the climate crisis; according to linguists. If nothing is done, conservative estimates suggest that half of all the 7000 languages currently spoken will be extinct by the end of the century.
Speakers of minority languages have experienced a long history of persecution (迫害) , with the result that by the 1920s half of all indigenous (土著的) languages in Australia, the US, South Africa and Argentina were extinct. The climate crisis is now considered the “final nail in the coffin” for many indigenous languages and the knowledge they represent.
“Languages are already endangered,” says Anastasia Richl, director of the Strathy language unit at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. Huge factors are globalization and migration, as communities move to regions where their language is not spoken or valued, according to Richl. “It seems particularly cruel,” she says, “that most of the world’s languages are in parts of the world that are growing unpleasant to people.” Vanuatu, a South Pacific island nation measuring 12,189km2, has 110 languages, the highest density (密度) of languages on the planet. It is also one of the countries most at risk of sea level rise, she says. “Many small language communities are on islands and coastlines easily subject to hurricanes and sea level rise.” Others live on lands where rising temperature threatens traditional farming and fishing practices, leading to migration.
In response to the crisis, the UN launched the International Decade of Indigenous Languages in 2022. Promoting and conserving languages of indigenous communities is “not only important for them, but for all humanity”, said Csaba Korosi, the UN general assembly president, urging countries to allow access to education in indigenous languages.
8. What is the writer mainly concerned about?
A. The disappearance of languages. B. The challenge of climate change.
C. The reaction to the language crisis. D. The trend of the speedy globalization.
9. Why is Vanuatu mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To explain the main reason for language density.
B. To show the common features of endangered languages.
C To stress the impact of geographical position on migration.
D. To illustrate the situation of minority language communities.
10. What does the International Decade of Indigenous Languages aim to do?
A. Support migrants to access local education.
B. Discourage people from massive migration.
C. Improve the living conditions of minority groups.
D. Preserve the languages of indigenous communities.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Faced with Disasters: Communities Have to Leave
B. Lost for Words: Rising Seas Bring Threat of Catastrophe
C. Upset at Extinction: UN Urges International Cooperation
D. Involved in Action: Experts Seek Solutions to Climate Crisis
D
You know exercise is heart smart and good for you. But do you really know how much physical activity you’re getting? Studies show that using a fitness tracker-a device that tracks your movement—can increase your steps per day by more than a mile.
“Fitness trackers are a great tool for heart health,” says cardiologist (心脏病医生) Seth Martin. “Being more active and changing your habits is important but difficult. Tracking likely helps people when combined with a clear goal to shoot for.”
Having an objective daily record can open people’s eyes to how little exercise they’re getting, Martin says, which can recalibrate their mindset (心态) and get motivated. People find ways to incorporate (融入) more activities into their day, walking during meetings, or simply taking the stairs instead of an elevator. “Fitness tracking gives people information and enables them to start making changes for heart health,” Martin says.
Try a few trackers until you find one that’s comfortable for you and your budget. Martin suggests, “Once you’ve made a match, you can try the next steps: Use the tracker consistently every day. Set a goal and then find activities you enjoy that also fit into your daily life and can be sustained over the long term. Finally, encourage friends and family to use trackers as well. It can create a social support network and even foster a sense of competition. Follow these tips, and you’ll be on your way to a healthier lifestyle and a healthier heart.”
So be ready as doctors learn and introduce even better ways to use these devices. In a randomized clinical trial, Martin and his colleagues tested an automated, real-time, personalized program that sent coaching text messages to cardiology patients based on data from a wearable device paired with their phone. Over the short term, this coaching system helped increase step counts by over a mile a day beyond tracking alone. “I think technology can be a very powerful tool to get people moving more,” says Martin.
12. According to paragraphs 1-2, what do people fail to do when exercising?
A. Integrate movement into work. B. Maintain a daily exercise schedule.
C. Kick improper habits of exercising. D. Monitor the amount of physical activity.
13. What does the underlined word “recalibrate” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Adjust. B. Abandon. C. Strengthen. D. Evaluate.
14. What does Martin suggest people do?
A. Encourage the family to attend competitions.
B. Take exercise under the guidance of a coach.
C. Purchase a proper device and use it every day.
D. Consult a doctor and decide on suitable activities.
15. What does Martin think of the future of fitness trackers?
A. Uncertain. B. Promising. C. Doubtful. D. Sustainable.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分,满分12. 5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Communicating with Nature
The natural world is amazing. In fact, it is one that you can have a “conversation” with. ____16____Apart from the obvious-that it’s an enjoyable, uplifting thing to do-you may seek to communicate with nature to benefit your mental health, for example.
When you arrive at your chosen spot, sit quietly for a few moments. ____17____Just talk in your head as you would to someone you’re opening a conversation with. “Hey, I’m Nikki. How are you doing today? Do you have time for a chat?” It doesn’t matter what you say, so long as you say it with an open heart, and you make it clear that you’re inviting communication.
____18____A million ways. You may notice a particular animal or insect coming closer to you and communicating energetically. You may notice a rhythm (韵律) or a pattern in the sound of the water or of the wind. Be mindful of what’s going on around you, be part of the natural world——you’ll soon notice so many ways in which your answers may come.
The first few times you attempt this exercise, you probably won’t see, hear or notice anything you choose to interpret as communication. ____19____If you practice this on a regular basis, however, you will start to pick things up. As you become more and more familiar with the oneness of yourself and the world around you, you will sense and understand more about what will occur during your “conversations”.
____20____There should be some benefit to nature, just as there is a benefit to you. When your time is over and you’re ready to leave, say thank you energetically and in your mind, but also say thank you in a practical way. Leave the area in a better state than you found it, for example, by picking up rubbish on your way out.
A. That’s OK. It doesn’t happen overnight.
B. How will you know if nature responds to you?
C. Communication with nature should be a two-way street.
D. And then ask to communicate with the nature around you.
E. How can you start communicating with the natural world?
F It just depends on what you choose for your “conversation”.
G. You may be wondering why you might want to communicate with nature.

Until a few years ago, I was a calm person. If you were going to offend me or verbally____21____me, I almost never lost temper____22____; of course I felt hurt, but I didn’t show it.
Then, one day, I met my husband and I fell in love with him, a proud____23____ who loudly discusses things even with himself when he’s not happy. Things, however, got worse for me when we started ____24____ on things. He seemed really angry while I seemed polite. Truth is that I was ____25____ too, but I was used to not showing it on the outside. Fight after fight, he always acted as if nothing had happened a few minutes after each quarrel, while my moments of ____26____ discontent started to expand until they became hours, sometimes even days.
I felt this had to change and the conversation went____27____ like this:
Me: “Either you change your____28____when we fight or I will start avoiding any discussion, otherwise this will ____29____ our relationship.”
Him: “Did you____30____the Mpemba Effect? If you put two____31____containers filled with the same amount of the same water into the freezer except that one has boiling water in it while the other one has water at ambient (周围的) ____32____, the boiling water will ____33____ faster than the ambient water. Baby, you got to boil first, to cool down faster. That’s why the Italians live longer than Canadians.”
The connection he suggested is to be____34____, but I have learned a fact I didn’t know, one that has inspired me to understand that if I’m angry about something or someone, for that anger to disappear, it has to be towards the outside or otherwise it is like hiding ____35____ under the carpet: your house might look clean, but it is not.

Three million years may seem like a long time. But when you consider that planet Earth is more than 4. 5 billion years old, it is a pretty short period of time.
The blue whale, ___36___(weigh) more than even the biggest dinosaurs, is the largest animal ___37___ has ever lived. They can grow to 30 meters long and be as heavy as 130, 000 kilograms.

He and other ___39___ (researcher) recently published an article on whale size. “It’s like going from whales the size of minivans (面包车) to longer than two school buses,” Pyenson added.
The scientists believe ___40___ caused whales to get so large was a change in the Earth’s climate only about 3 million years ago. This change led to food becoming more ___41___(easy) available. ___42___ oncoming ice age made the ocean water cold and ___43___(bring) more nutrients, resulting in more food for large whales. Whales which were able to quickly-eat a lot of food survived, and got ___44___ (large). “Over the next three or four million years, the blue whales grew 10 times bigger than they ___45___(be),” the scientists said.

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Another disappointing day was passing, and he was driving his beat-up old car home. He was out all day looking for a job. It was getting dark and light snow was coming down, so he almost didn’t see the old lady standing on the side of the road. It was clear that she needed help. He pulled up in front of her obviously brand new and expensive car and got out.
While nobody had stopped to help for the last hour and there was a smile on his face, she was worried when he approached her. He didn’t look safe. He looked poor and hungry.
He could see she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He said, “I’m here to help you, ma’am. Why don’t you wait in your car to keep warm? My name is Bryan.”
A tire was flat. Bryan fetched tools from his own car to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt. As he was tightening her car’s nuts, she rolled down the window, said thanks and asked him how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She had already imagined all the awful things that could have happened without his help.
Bryan never thought twice about the money. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed. He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home.
Soon the lady saw a small restaurant. She went in to grab a bite to eat and warm up before she made the last leg of her trip home. The waitress came over with a sweet smile and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant(怀孕的). Although the waitress looked tired and walked painfully due to the pregnancy, she still served the lady.
Paragraph 1:
After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a one-hundred-dollar bill. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
That night when the waitress got home from work, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written.

I was always a reader. As a kid, I walked to the library several times a week and stayed up late reading with a torch. I did my undergraduate degree in English and went on to get a master’s in literature. When I created my online profile, I made my screen name “missbibliophile”. Filling out the “favorite books” section, I let my taste in literature speak for me: One Hundred Years of Solitude, A Moveable Feast, White Teeth, The Namesake, The Known World.
But I realized it had been more than two years since I had read most of those titles. I had stopped reading gradually, the way one heals or dies.
David was my online friend. His profile said he liked to read, so I asked him about his last book. His face lit up and his fingers danced. I told him I only read one book that year. “But it’s June. Read a book!” he said.
I was painfully aware of the glaring hypocrisy (虚伪) in my life. I defended the virtues of bookstores in the age of online retailing and bought books, and they sat on every surface until my house appeared to wear books the way one wears clothes.
His suggestion on “reading a book” echoed in my head. One afternoon, I picked up one I’d bought only for its poetic title. I had a hard time getting into it. Whenever I was tempted to give up on it, I thought of David. I pushed through the first two chapters and discovered a new narrator and I loved the alternating points of view. I read at lunch and on my walk home, occasionally lifting my eyes to avoid strangers and uneven road surface. I stayed up late and finished the book.
I felt great and proud of myself. The last time I’d pulled an all-nighter to read, I was 12. I felt him pushing me to be more of the person I used to be and more of who I wanted to be.
4. Why did the author purposely list many classics in her profile?
A. To show her taste. B. To list books read. C. To fill out the form. D. To indicate her ability.
5. How much do we know about David?
A. He is interested in dancing. B. He is excited about books.
C. He is curious about the Internet. D. He is patient with strangers.
6. How did the author try to appear fond of reading?
A. By refusing online books. B. By decorating her house with books.
C. By wandering about bookstores. D. By constantly buying different books.
7. Why did the author feel proud of herself?
A. She stayed up all night. B. She finished reading a book.
C. She regained passion for books. D. David pushed her to read.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C

Every 40 days a language dies. This “catastrophic” loss is being intensified by the climate crisis; according to linguists. If nothing is done, conservative estimates suggest that half of all the 7000 languages currently spoken will be extinct by the end of the century.
Speakers of minority languages have experienced a long history of persecution (迫害) , with the result that by the 1920s half of all indigenous (土著的) languages in Australia, the US, South Africa and Argentina were extinct. The climate crisis is now considered the “final nail in the coffin” for many indigenous languages and the knowledge they represent.
“Languages are already endangered,” says Anastasia Richl, director of the Strathy language unit at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. Huge factors are globalization and migration, as communities move to regions where their language is not spoken or valued, according to Richl. “It seems particularly cruel,” she says, “that most of the world’s languages are in parts of the world that are growing unpleasant to people.” Vanuatu, a South Pacific island nation measuring 12,189km2, has 110 languages, the highest density (密度) of languages on the planet. It is also one of the countries most at risk of sea level rise, she says. “Many small language communities are on islands and coastlines easily subject to hurricanes and sea level rise.” Others live on lands where rising temperature threatens traditional farming and fishing practices, leading to migration.
In response to the crisis, the UN launched the International Decade of Indigenous Languages in 2022. Promoting and conserving languages of indigenous communities is “not only important for them, but for all humanity”, said Csaba Korosi, the UN general assembly president, urging countries to allow access to education in indigenous languages.
8. What is the writer mainly concerned about?
A. The disappearance of languages. B. The challenge of climate change.
C. The reaction to the language crisis. D. The trend of the speedy globalization.
9. Why is Vanuatu mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To explain the main reason for language density.
B. To show the common features of endangered languages.
C. To stress the impact of geographical position on migration.
D. To illustrate the situation of minority language communities.
10. What does the International Decade of Indigenous Languages aim to do?
A. Support migrants to access local education.
B. Discourage people from massive migration.
C. Improve the living conditions of minority groups.
D. Preserve the languages of indigenous communities.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Faced with Disasters: Communities Have to Leave
B. Lost for Words: Rising Seas Bring Threat of Catastrophe
C. Upset at Extinction: UN Urges International Cooperation
D. Involved in Action: Experts Seek Solutions to Climate Crisis
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. B

You know exercise is heart smart and good for you. But do you really know how much physical activity you’re getting? Studies show that using a fitness tracker-a device that tracks your movement—can increase your steps per day by more than a mile.
“Fitness trackers are a great tool for heart health,” says cardiologist (心脏病医生) Seth Martin. “Being more active and changing your habits is important but difficult. Tracking likely helps people when combined with a clear goal to shoot for.”
Having an objective daily record can open people’s eyes to how little exercise they’re getting, Martin says, which can recalibrate their mindset (心态) and get motivated. People find ways to incorporate (融入) more activities into their day, walking during meetings, or simply taking the stairs instead of an elevator. “Fitness tracking gives people information and enables them to start making changes for heart health,” Martin says.
Try a few trackers until you find one that’s comfortable for you and your budget. Martin suggests, “Once you’ve made a match, you can try the next steps: Use the tracker consistently every day. Set a goal and then find activities you enjoy that also fit into your daily life and can be sustained over the long term. Finally, encourage friends and family to use trackers as well. It can create a social support network and even foster a sense of competition. Follow these tips, and you’ll be on your way to a healthier lifestyle and a healthier heart.”
So be ready, as doctors learn and introduce even better ways to use these devices. In a randomized clinical trial, Martin and his colleagues tested an automated, real-time, personalized program that sent coaching text messages to cardiology patients based on data from a wearable device paired with their phone. Over the short term, this coaching system helped increase step counts by over a mile a day beyond tracking alone. “I think technology can be a very powerful tool to get people moving more,” says Martin.
12. According to paragraphs 1-2, what do people fail to do when exercising?
A. Integrate movement into work. B. Maintain a daily exercise schedule.
C Kick improper habits of exercising. D. Monitor the amount of physical activity.
13. What does the underlined word “recalibrate” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Adjust. B. Abandon. C. Strengthen. D. Evaluate.
14. What does Martin suggest people do?
A. Encourage the family to attend competitions.
B. Take exercise under the guidance of a coach.
C. Purchase a proper device and use it every day.
D. Consult a doctor and decide on suitable activities.
15. What does Martin think of the future of fitness trackers?
A. Uncertain. B. Promising. C. Doubtful. D. Sustainable.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍使用健身追踪器可以使你每天的步数增加一英里多。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“You know exercise is heart smart and good for you. But do you really know how much physical activity you’ re getting? Studies show that using a fitness tracker-a device that tracks your movement—can increase your steps per day by more than a mile.(你知道运动对心脏有益,对你有好处。但是你真的知道你做了多少运动吗?研究表明,使用健身追踪器——一种跟踪你运动的设备——可以使你每天的步数增加一英里多)”以及第二段““Fitness trackers are a great tool for heart health,” says cardiologist Seth Martin. “Being more active and changing your habits is important but difficult. Tracking likely helps people when combined with a clear goal to shoot for.”(“健身追踪器是心脏健康的好工具,”心脏病专家赛斯·马丁说。“变得更积极,改变你的习惯很重要,但也很难。如果与明确的目标相结合,追踪可能会对人们有所帮助。”)”推知,人们在锻炼时没有监测身体活动量。故选D项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据后文“People find ways to incorporate more activities into their day, walking during meetings, or simply taking the stairs instead of an elevator.(人们想办法在一天中加入更多的活动,在会议期间散步,或者只是走楼梯而不是乘电梯)”可知,当人们有一个客观的每日记录可以让人们意识到自己的运动量有多少时,他们会想办法在一天中加入更多的活动,也就是重新调整他们的心态,所以recalibrate应该是“重新调整”之意,和A项“Adjust(调整)”词义相近。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Martin suggests, “Once you’ve made a match, you can try the next steps: Use the tracker consistently every day. Set a goal and then find activities you enjoy that also fit into your daily life and can be sustained over the long term. Finally, encourage friends and family to use trackers as well. It can create a social support network and even foster a sense of competition. Follow these tips, and you’ll be on your way to a healthier lifestyle and a healthier heart.”(马丁建议:“一旦你找到了匹配,你就可以尝试接下来的步骤:每天坚持使用追踪器。设定一个目标,然后找到你喜欢的活动,这些活动既适合你的日常生活,又能长期坚持下去。最后,鼓励朋友和家人也使用追踪器。它可以创造一个社会支持网络,甚至培养一种竞争意识。遵循这些建议,你将拥有更健康的生活方式和更健康的心脏。”)”可知,马丁建议人们购买一个合适的设备,每天使用。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““I think technology can be a very powerful tool to get people moving more,” says Martin.(马丁说:“我认为科技可以成为一个非常强大的工具,让人们更多地运动。”)”可推知,马丁认为健身追踪器的未来是有前途的。故选B项。

Communicating with Nature
The natural world is amazing. In fact, it is one that you can have a “conversation” with. ____16____Apart from the obvious-that it’s an enjoyable, uplifting thing to do-you may seek to communicate with nature to benefit your mental health, for example.
When you arrive at your chosen spot, sit quietly for a few moments. ____17____Just talk in your head as you would to someone you’re opening a conversation with. “Hey, I’m Nikki. How are you doing today? Do you have time for a chat?” It doesn’t matter what you say, so long as you say it with an open heart, and you make it clear that you’re inviting communication.
____18____A million ways. You may notice a particular animal or insect coming closer to you and communicating energetically. You may notice a rhythm (韵律) or a pattern in the sound of the water or of the wind. Be mindful of what’s going on around you, be part of the natural world——you’ll soon notice so many ways in which your answers may come.
The first few times you attempt this exercise, you probably won’t see, hear or notice anything you choose to interpret as communication. ____19____If you practice this on a regular basis, however, you will start to pick things up. As you become more and more familiar with the oneness of yourself and the world around you, you will sense and understand more about what will occur during your “conversations”.
____20____There should be some benefit to nature, just as there is a benefit to you. When your time is over and you’re ready to leave, say thank you energetically and in your mind, but also say thank you in a practical way. Leave the area in a better state than you found it, for example, by picking up rubbish on your way out.
A. That’s OK. It doesn’t happen overnight.
B. How will you know if nature responds to you?
C. Communication with nature should be a two-way street.
D. And then ask to communicate with the nature around you.

The blue whale, ___36___(weigh) more than even the biggest dinosaurs, is the largest animal ___37___ has ever lived. They can grow to 30 meters long and be as heavy as 130, 000 kilograms.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了鲸鱼体积逐渐变大的原因。
【36题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:蓝鲸,体重甚至超过了最大的恐龙,是有史以来最大的动物。动词weigh“重量为”与主语whales“鲸鱼”为主谓关系,故使用现在分词形式作后置定语。故填weighing。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意同上。分析句子可知,空处引导定语从句,先行词是animal,关系词在从句中作主语,且先行词前有形容词最高级修饰,应用关系代词that,故填that。
【38题详解】
考查代词的宾格。句意:“突然之间,我们看到它们变得非常大。” 科学家Nick Pyenson说。空处作动词see的宾语,应用人称代词的宾格形式,故填them。
【39题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:他和其他的研究人员最近就鲸鱼体型大小发表了一篇文章。researcher研究人员,可数名词,other后接可数名词的复数形式,表示“其他的研究人员”。故填researchers。
【40题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:科学家们认为,导致鲸鱼长得如此之大的原因是大约300万年前地球气候的变化。分析句子可知,believe后是省略that的宾语从句,空处引导主语从句,引导词在主语从句中作主语,指物,应用连接代词what引导,故填what。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:这一变化导致食物变得更容易获得。此处应用副词形式easily,修饰后面的形容词available“可获得的”。故填easily。
【42题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意:即将到来的冰河时代使海水变冷,带来了更多的营养物质,因此对大型鲸鱼来说有了更多的食物。age在句中用作可数名词,此处泛指“即将到来的冰河时代”,应用不定冠词,且oncoming是以元音音素开头,应用an,首字母应大写。故填An。
【43题详解】
考查一般过去时。句意同上。此处是and连接的并列谓语动词,句子是一般过去时,空处应和made保持一致,用动词过去式。故填brought。
【44题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:能够快速吃掉大量食物的鲸鱼幸存下来,并且变得更大。根据句意可知,吃得多的鲸鱼存活下来,体型变得更大,而且前文一直探讨的是体积的变大,故此处应该使用形容词比较级。故填larger。
【45题详解】
考查过去完成时。句意:“在接下来的三四百万年里,蓝鲸的体型比原来大了10倍。”科学家们说。结合句意可知,此处be表示的动作发生在动词“grew”之前,表示过去的过去,故用过去完成时。故填had been。

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Another disappointing day was passing, and he was driving his beat-up old car home. He was out all day looking for a job. It was getting dark and light snow was coming down, so he almost didn’t see the old lady standing on the side of the road. It was clear that she needed help. He pulled up in front of her obviously brand new and expensive car and got out.
While nobody had stopped to help for the last hour and there was a smile on his face, she was worried when he approached her. He didn’t look safe. He looked poor and hungry.
He could see she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He said, “I’m here to help you, ma’am. Why don’t you wait in your car to keep warm? My name is Bryan.”
A tire was flat. Bryan fetched tools from his own car to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt. As he was tightening her car’s nuts, she rolled down the window, said thanks and asked him how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She had already imagined all the awful things that could have happened without his help.
Bryan never thought twice about the money. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed. He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home.
Soon the lady saw a small restaurant. She went in to grab a bite to eat and warm up before she made the last leg of her trip home. The waitress came over with a sweet smile and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant(怀孕的). Although the waitress looked tired and walked painfully due to the pregnancy, she still served the lady.
Paragraph 1:
After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a one-hundred-dollar bill. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
That night when the waitress got home from work, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a one-hundred-dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred-dollar bill, but the old lady had driven off. She was gone by the time the waitress came back The waitress wondered where the lady did so. Then she noticed something written on a napkin. There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote “You don't owe me anything. I have been there too. Somebody, once helped me out the way I’m helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you dodo not let this chain of love end with you.” Under the napkin were four more hundred-dollar bills.
Paragraph 2:
That night when the waitress got home from work, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written. She was wondering how the lady knew she and her husband were in need. With the baby to be bom next month, life was going to be hard. She knew how worried her husband was, and now everything is going to be all right. Knowing what had happened, her husband, Bryan, shed tears of joy and gratitude.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文,要求续写该故事。
【详解】根据文章内容可知,布莱恩帮助了一位女士,但他不求回报,希望女士将爱传递下去,女士走后去餐馆吃饭,根据第一段的提示内容“那位女士用完餐后,她付了一百美元。”可以推测出本段是讲述女士用她的方式把爱传递给了孕妇服务员;根据第二段的提示内容“那天晚上,当女服务员下班回家时,她在想那笔钱和那位女士写的东西。”可知,本段应是讲述服务员回家后告诉家人所发生的事,可以设想一下戏剧性的结局,比如女服务员的丈夫就是布莱恩。
【点睛】本文续写完全符合要求,思路清晰,情节合理。文章使用了几个高分句型。1. The waitress wondered where the lady did so. 本句是where引导的宾语从句。2. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you dodo not let this chain of love end with you.” 本句含if引导的条件状语从句和what引导的表语从句。3. She was wondering how the lady knew she and her husband were in need. 本句是how引导的宾语从句。
