Dear Mr. Smith,
A friend gave me a T-shirt for my birthday, but I don’t like it. However, he sometimes asks me if I like it and why I never put it on. Should I lie or wear it to make him happy? I don’t want to lie to him, so I feel upset. What should I do? Please give me some advice.
Yours,
Rui
Hi Rui,
It can feel uncomfortable when you don’t like a gift, especially if your friend asks about it. You don’t want to hurt his feelings, but you also don’t want to lie.
One way to deal with this is to focus on the kind thought behind the gift. Your friend gave it to you because he cares about you. When he asks, you can say, “Thank you again for the gift! It was so kind of you to think of me.”
If he asks why you don’t wear it, you can give a polite reason. For example, “I don’t wear T-shirts that often” or “I’m saving it for a special occasion (场合).” This won’t hurt his feelings.
In the future, you can give hints (暗示) about the things you like before your birthday. This way, your friend can pick something that suits you better. Remember, gifts are about kindness, not just the object itself.
Best,
Pat Smith

Do you know Africa? When we talk about it, we usually think of the world’s biggest desert—Sahara Desert, or maybe the grassland where many animals live. It’s not a place where we would expect to take a ski vacation. The average (平均的) temperature of Africa is over 20℃, so it’s hard to see snow.
However, in 2022, five African countries—Eritrea, Ghana, Madagascar, Morocco and Nigeria sent six players to Beijing for the Winter Olympics. Now you’re probably wondering: Is there snow in Africa? Do these players have places to train?
In fact, you can find snow in Africa! Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro and Atlas Mountains across Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia are two places in Africa that get snow. Their high altitudes (海拔) lead to low temperatures. The Atlas Mountains even have several perfect places for skiing.
However, the six Olympic players from Africa did most of their training in Europe and North America because there were not many good places to train in Africa.

【解析】
【导语】本文讲DeepSeek这一人工智能对学生有帮助,如解答学科问题,像聪明同学,但需合理使用,别过度依赖,应独立思考并将其作学习工具。
【46题详解】
句意:例如,当我们有关于语文诗歌或数学题等学科问题时,它能快速给出清晰答案。根据“when we have questions about school subjects like Chinese poems (诗) or math problems, it can give clear answers quickly”可知,此处是要引出具体例子,“for example”是固定短语,意为“例如”,符合语境引出例子的需求。故填For。
【47题详解】
句意:这就像有一个无所不知的聪明同学!根据“It’s like having...smart classmate who knows everything”可知,此处需要描述数量,“smart”是以辅音音素开头的单词,“一个”用不定冠词“a” ,用来修饰“smart classmate”。故填a。
【48题详解】
句意:不过度依赖它是很重要的。根据“It...important not to depend too much on it”可知,此处强调事情的重要性,“It is + 形容词 + not to do sth.”意为“不做某事是……的”,此处需要be动词,主语是It,所以填is。
【49题详解】
句意:不是复制它提供的答案,而是我们应该独立思考并把它当作学习工具。根据“Instead...copying the answers it provides”可知,此处用于否定复制答案这一行为,“instead of”意为“代替;而不是”,后接名词、代词或动名词,符合语境。故填of。
【50题详解】
句意:不是复制它提供的答案,而是我们应该独立思考并把它当作学习工具。根据“we should think independently...use it as a learning tool”可知,“think independently”与“use it as a learning tool”是并列关系,用“and”连接,用来连接这两个并列的动作。故填and。

【答案】例文
A Small Act of Kindness
Last winter, on a freezing morning, I was on my way to school by bus. The bus was crowded, and everyone seemed a bit sleepy.
Suddenly, an elderly woman got on. She looked around helplessly as there were no empty seats. Without thinking, I stood up and offered her my seat. The old woman thanked me repeatedly with a warm smile.
At that moment, I felt a strong sense of joy. That small act of kindness not only warmed the old woman but also made my day. It made me realize that even tiny kindnesses can bring big warmth.
Since then, I’ve been more willing to help others. I believe these small actions can make the world a better place.

Dear Mr. Smith,
A friend gave me a T-shirt for my birthday, but I don’t like it. However, he sometimes asks me if I like it and why I never put it on. Should I lie or wear it to make him happy? I don’t want to lie to him, so I feel upset. What should I do? Please give me some advice.
Yours,
Rui
Hi Rui,
It can feel uncomfortable when you don’t like a gift, especially if your friend asks about it. You don’t want to hurt his feelings, but you also don’t want to lie.
One way to deal with this is to focus on the kind thought behind the gift. Your friend gave it to you because he cares about you. When he asks, you can say, “Thank you again for the gift! It was so kind of you to think of me.”
If he asks why you don’t wear it, you can give a polite reason. For example, “I don’t wear T-shirts that often” or “I’m saving it for a special occasion (场合).” This won’t hurt his feelings.
In the future, you can give hints (暗示) about the things you like before your birthday. This way, your friend can pick something that suits you better. Remember, gifts are about kindness, not just the object itself.
Best,
Pat Smith
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

Do you know Africa? When we talk about it, we usually think of the world’s biggest desert—Sahara Desert, or maybe the grassland where many animals live. It’s not a place where we would expect to take a ski vacation. The average (平均的) temperature of Africa is over 20℃, so it’s hard to see snow.
However, in 2022, five African countries—Eritrea, Ghana, Madagascar, Morocco and Nigeria sent six players to Beijing for the Winter Olympics. Now you’re probably wondering: Is there snow in Africa? Do these players have places to train?
In fact, you can find snow in Africa! Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro and Atlas Mountains across Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia are two places in Africa that get snow. Their high altitudes (海拔) lead to low temperatures. The Atlas Mountains even have several perfect places for skiing.
However, the six Olympic players from Africa did most of their training in Europe and North America because there were not many good places to train in Africa.

Instead of making arrows, he used his creativity. One foggy (有雾的) morning, he sent 20 boats covered with straw (稻草) men toward the enemy camp. Because 2 the thick fog, Cao Cao’s soldiers thought the straw men were real soldiers. So they started shooting arrows wildly. Finally, their arrows stuck into the straw.
By sunrise, the boats were 3 with arrows. When Zhou Yu asked how he did it, Zhuge Liang explained that he “borrowed” arrows 4 the enemy. Zhou Yu understood the trick (计谋) and thought, “Zhuge Liang is much 5 than me!”
Zhuge Liang’s 6 , using fog and straw, saved time and lives. The story of “borrowing arrows with straw boats” became very 7 in history. By thinking 8 , Zhuge Liang proved that sometimes the best ways are unexpected.
