Some cities, such as Boston, lead the way in technology and innovation. New York and London are financial centers. Cities like Los Angeles make quality films. Others like Guadalajara are known mainly for producing various products. Why are some cities centers of creativity while others are more likely to focus on producing things? Richard uses recent research to suggest that personality may play a role. Cities like Boston are home to people who are open to experience. They like high levels of activity and new ideas. Most technology companies are in or near these centers of creativity. In cities like Guadalajara, residents are both hard-working and agreeable. They tend to follow rules and work well on teams, qualities that are important in manufacturing.
第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)

Chinese Baijiu| Most Popular Liquor in China
When it comes to alcohol, China is most famous for baijiu. There are so many varieties of baijiu in China and all are typically high proof, so expect a heavy burn when drinking it and be sure to drink this one responsibly. Baijiu translates directly as “white liquor” and is made from sorghum (高粱), white rice, sticky rice, wheat, corn, or a blend of these ingredients.
Here are the top brands of baijiu I suggest trying in China:
BRANDS
FEATURES
Maotai
* China’s premium brand of baijiu
* the drink of choice for China’s top government officials and business elites
* among the most expensive you can buy
*a best choice of gift
Wuliangye
*a blend of the sacred “5 grains” in China
* with an abundance of flavor
* popular among Chinese
* slightly less expensive than the Maotai brand
Luzhoulaojiao
* one of the four oldest distilleries in China
* originated way back during the Ming Dynasty
* with valuable tradition behind how it is made
* with good flavor
Erguōtóu
* the Chinese equivalent of a cheap vodka
* easily available at any Chinese convenience store for cheap
You can learn more about how Chinese baijiu is made, consumed, and even purchase it on Baijiu America. It’s not a casual drink, though, so in China you should only expect to drink baijiu during formal occasions, weddings, or during Chinese New Year.
21. What is a typical feature of Chinese Baijiu?
A. It is very expensive. B. It can be made from grapes.
C. It can be enjoyed casually. D. It has a high alcohol content.
22. Which of the following brands of baijiu is often considered as the best gift?
A. Maotai. B. Wuliangye.
C. Luzhoulaojiao. D. Erguōtóu.
23. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To instruct. B. To advertise. C. To inform. D. To persuade.
【答案】21. D 22. A 23. C

I.M. Pei, who died at 102, was a dominant figure in architecture for over half a century. He designed some of the finest buildings around the world. No one was surprised when he became one of the first winners of the Pritzker Prize.
Born in Guangzhou in 1917 to a wealthy banking family, I.M.Pei knew from an early age that be wanted to create buildings. To that end he came as a teenager to the United States and trained in modernism at MIT and Harvard, where he was mentored by Walter Gropius, one of the masters of the International Style.
But the style that most defined I.M.Pei’s practice was not so much the International Style as Brutalism (粗野主义). So-called because its favored material was raw, unfaced concrete and also because it favored simple, aggressive volumes. Disruption (颠覆) was the entire point. I.M.Pei, however, altered it into a medium of elegance, and it is difficult not to feel that there must be some connection between that mood and the friendly elegance of his own manners.
Perhaps his most remarkable achievement in the United States was the East Wing of the National Gallery of Art on the Washington Mall. It was this wing that brought him to the attention of Francois Mitterand, the president of France, who had just decided to expand and fundamentally transform the Louvre.
I.M.Pei’s most visible intervention in that great institution was the Pyramid, which, in its perfect combination of formal beauty, functionality and symbolic significance, may well represent the single most impressive stroke of genius in the architecture of the past half century. But an even greater achievement was the less obvious transformation of how the world’s largest and most famous museum functioned: what had seemed for generations to be a dangerous labyrinth (迷宫) was suddenly reborn as an open, spacious place of high culture that now lifted the spirits of all who entered. That achievement by itself will surely be enough to secure I.M.Pei’s place as one of the most outstanding architects of the 20th century.
24. What can be learned about I.M. Pei from Paragraph 2?
A. He was a born architect.
B. He was popular at MIT.
C. He was famous before graduation.
D. He was ambitious from childhood.
25. What characterizes I.M. Pei’s approach to Brutalism?
A. Display of destructive elements.
B. Addition of an elegant feel.
C. Adoption of new materials.
D. Inclusion of the International Style.
26. What major transformation did I.M. Pei bring to the Louvre?
A. The combination of traditional and modern styles.
B. The upgrade of it accessibility and atmosphere.
C. The redesign of its overall appearance.
D. The expansion of its space and collection.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. The architectural practice of I.M. Pei.
B. The impact of I.M.Pei on modern architecture.
C. The life and achievements of I.M.Pei.
D. The cultural significance of I.M.Pei’s designs.
【答案】24 D 25. B 26. B 27. C
【解析】

【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“I.M.Pei, however, altered it into a medium of elegance, and it is difficult not to feel that there must be some connection between that mood and the friendly elegance of his own manners.(然而,贝聿铭将其转变为一种优雅的媒介,人们不难感觉到,这种情绪与他举止中友好的优雅之间一定有某种联系)”可知,贝聿铭在粗野主义风格中加入了优雅的感觉。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But an even greater achievement was the less obvious transformation of how the world’s largest and most famous museum functioned: what had seemed for generations to be a dangerous labyrinth was suddenly reborn as an open, spacious place of high culture that now lifted the spirits of all who entered.(但更伟大的成就是,世界上最大、最著名的博物馆的运作方式发生了不那么明显的转变:几代人以来一直被视为危险的迷宫,突然重生为一个开放、宽敞的高雅文化场所,让所有进入的人都精神振奋)”可知,贝聿铭让卢浮宫变得更易进入,氛围也更宜人,即改善了它的可访性和氛围。故选B。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“I.M. Pei, who died at 102, was a dominant figure in architecture for over half a century. He designed some of the finest buildings around the world. No one was surprised when he became one of the first winners of the Pritzker Prize.(享年102岁的贝聿铭,半个多世纪以来一直是建筑界的领军人物。他设计了世界上一些最好的建筑。当他成为普利兹克奖的首批获奖者之一时,没有人感到惊讶)”可知,文章主要讲述了贝聿铭的生平、建筑风格及杰出成就,C选项“贝聿铭的生平与成就”最符合文章主旨。故选C。

Scientists have uncovered communities of animals living in volcanic caves beneath the seafloor, revealing a previously unknown but thriving ecosystem. Previous research had found microbes (微生物) living underground near hydrothermal vents (热液喷口) , but this is the first reported discovery of larger animals such as tubeworms and snails in the underground habitat.
Hydrothermal vents are cracks in the seafloor where hot water from the Earth’s core mixes with seawater. Much of the ocean floor is considered nearly uninhabitable. But around hydrothermal vents there’s an explosion of life. Communities of shrimp, crabs, tubeworms and hundreds of unique animal species have been previously found, but not underneath, these vents. They’re known as “extremophiles,” or life that can survive under extremely high temperatures and pressure. These species survive not on the sun’s energy, which fuels the food web elsewhere on Earth, but on nutrients produced when seawater mixes with magma.
Recent scientific research has revealed that tubeworms and sea snails can be found not only on top of the seafloor but also underneath rocky sections. This discovery has the potential to significantly advance our understanding of these species’ life cycle and behavior. The researchers think tubeworms might disperse throughout the caves, with some settling and growing in cracks on the seafloor and others staying in the caves and growing to adulthood there—which would mean the seafloor and small caves underneath are an interconnected ecosystem, where cold and warm water flows mix and promote tubeworm growth.
The hydrothermal vent ecosystem in this area is not restricted to what we see above but includes life in the subsurface. Deep-sea mining, which involves extracting (获取) minerals from the deep seabed, is a major threat to deep-sea ecosystems and is opposed by scientists and conservation organizations. “We don’t know how extensive those connected little caves are, and we’re unable to assess the biodiversity within the subsurface. Since seafloor ecosystems are likely interconnected. Large stretches of the seafloor need to be protected.” says Rachel Lauer, a geologist at the University of Caigary.
28. What does the new study reveal?
A. Volcanic activity is frequent in the deep sea.
B. Larger animals thrive beneath the ocean floor.
C. There is a community of microbes underground.
D. Hydrothermal vents shape the marine ecosystem.
29. What do we know about species living around hydrothermal vents?
A. They feed on underwater plants.
B. They rely on sunlight for energy.
C. They can survive in extreme conditions.
D. They favor a relatively hot environment.
30. What does the underlined word “disperse” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Float. B. Evolve.
C. Frustrate. D. Spread
31. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To call on people to protect seafloor ecosystems.
B. To stress the importance of conserving biodiversity.
C. To explain the link between volcanic caves and the seafloor.
D. To show the effect of deep-sea mining on life in the subsurface.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍科学家在海底火山洞穴中发现的新生态系统及对深海生物生存方式的全新认识。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Previous research had found microbes (微生物) living underground near hydrothermal vents (热液喷口) , but this is the first reported discovery of larger animals such as tubeworms and snails in the underground habitat.(早期研究曾发现微生物生活在靠近热液喷口的地下,但这是首次报道在地下栖息地中发现管状蠕虫和蜗牛等较大的动物)”可知,研究揭示了体型较大的动物在海床之下繁衍生长。故选B项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They’re known as ‘extremophiles,’ or life that can survive under extremely high temperatures and pressure. (它们被称为‘极端微生物’,即可以在极高的温度和压力下生存的生命)”可知,这些物种能够在极端条件下生存。故选C项。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“with some settling and growing in cracks on the seafloor and others staying in the caves and growing to adulthood there(一些在海底的裂缝中定居和成长,另一些则留在洞穴中并生长到成年)”可知,研究人员推测管虫可能分散到整个洞穴,有的在海底裂缝中定居生长,有的留在洞穴中并生长到成年,所以disperse意为“分散、分布”,与“Spread”同义。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“Deep-sea mining, which involves extracting (获取) minerals from the deep seabed, is a major threat to deep-sea ecosystems and is opposed by scientists and conservation organizations. ‘We don’t know how extensive those connected little caves are, and we’re unable to assess the biodiversity within the subsurface. Since seafloor ecosystems are likely interconnected. Large stretches of the seafloor need to be protected.’ says Rachel Lauer, a geologist at the University of Caigary.(深海采矿涉及从深海海底开采矿物,是对深海生态系统的主要威胁,受到科学家和保护组织的反对。凯加里大学地质学家Rachel Lauer说:‘我们不知道这些相连的小洞穴有多大,也无法评估地下的生物多样性。因为海底生态系统可能是相互关联的。大片海底需要保护。’)”可知,最后一段强调了深海采矿对生态系统的威胁,并引用Rachel Lauer的话呼吁保护大片海底区域;由此可知,最后一段的目的是号召人们保护海底生态系统。故选A项。
D
South Korean scientists have developed a new type of food called “meaty rice”. It is a mixture of cow muscle and fat cells integrated into rice grains. The research team at Seoul’s Yonsei University, led by Professor Park So-hyeon, used a technique called cell-cultured protein, which involves growing animal cells in the lab without harming any animals. They then infused (注入) these cells into rice grains, using a special process that preserves the grain’s structure and properties.
Meaty rice is a pink-hued grain that is packed with beef muscle and fat cells, offering a meaty taste and texture. According to the study, each gram of meaty rice contains about 0.4 grams of protein, compared to 0.08 grams in regular rice. It also has a higher iron, zinc and vitamin B12 content, which are essential for human health. It offers a unique flavor, enhances nutrition and reduces environmental impact.
Conventional meat production consumes large amounts of land, water and energy and releases greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. Meaty rice, on the other hand, requires fewer resources and produces fewer emissions than animal farming. According to the study, meaty rice could reduce land use by 99%, water use by 96% and greenhouse gas emissions by 92%, compared to beef production.
However, meaty rice is still in its early stages of development and many issues must be tackled before it can be widely accepted. For instance, how will it affect the health and safety of consumers? How will it affect the livelihoods (生计) of farmers and the economy of food production? The researchers are optimistic that meaty rice will be a game-changer for the future of food and they are planning to conduct more tests to improve its quality. They believe that meaty rice could be the next frontier of food innovation and also help relieve hunger and malnutrition by providing cheaper and more accessible sources of protein and micronutrients.
32. How did researchers develop the meaty rice?
A. By adding artificial flavors to rice grains. B. By growing rice in a special environment.
C. By integrating animal cells into rice grains. D. By infusing plant-based proteins into meat.
33. What advantage does meaty rice have over regular rice?
A. It has a higher yield. B. It is more nutritious.
C. It has a fresher taste. D. It is more affordable.
34. What is the purpose of paragraph 3?
A. To stress the strengths of meaty rice production.
B. To explain the challenges of developing meaty rice.
C. To reveal the significance of promoting green farming.
D. To show the increasing demand for meat consumption.
35. What can we infer about meaty rice according to researchers?
A. It can be a key option to address the food crisis.
B. It can greatly expand the livelihoods of farmers.
C. It will completely resolve global issues of starvation.
D. It will replace traditional meat products in the future.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. A

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了超级成功人士所共有的关键特征。
【36题详解】
由下文“SSPs are very enthusiastic about their work and they love what they do.(超级成功人士对自己的工作非常热情,他们热爱自己所做的事。)”可知,此处需总述“热情”这一特质。A项“They are passionate.(他们充满热情。)”中“passionate”与“enthusiastic”、“love what they do”直接呼应,作为段落标题统领对“热情驱动成功”的论述,形成“总述特质→具体说明”的结构。故选A项。
【37题详解】
由上文“They have the ability to control their thoughts, emotions, and actions.(他们有能力控制自己的思想、情绪和行为。)”可知,此处需说明这种自控力的结果。E项“They’re able to stay focused on their goals no matter what happens.(无论发生什么,他们都能专注于自己的目标。) ”中“stay focused on their goals”是“control thoughts, emotions, actions”的直接体现,与“strong sense of purpose that drives them forward”形成逻辑递进,说明目标专注是自控力带来的核心成果。故选E项。
【38题详解】
由上文“Whether they encounter a setback in their personal lives or professional careers, they always find a way to pick themselves up and keep going.(无论他们在个人生活或职业生涯中遇到挫折,他们总是能找到一种方法来振作起来,继续前进。)”及下文“They know that these are just parts of the journey to success.(他们知道这些只是成功之路的一部分。)”可知,此处需说明他们如何应对挫折。C项“They are able to bounce back from problems and failures.(他们能够从问题和失败中恢复过来。)”中“bounce back from problems and failures”是“pick themselves up”的同义表述,“problems and failures”对应“setback”,形成“总述复原力→具体表现”的衔接,解释了他们面对逆境时的核心能力。故选C项。
【39题详解】
由上文“They are disciplined. SSPs always exhibit a high degree of self-control and willpower.(他们自律。超级成功人士在做任何事时都表现出高度的自控力和意志力。)”可知,此处需说明自律在具体方面的体现。F项“They are extremely disciplined in their work habits and personal routines.(他们在工作习惯和个人日常中极其自律。)”中“work habits and personal routines”是“everything they do”的具体领域,与下文“waking up early, eating healthily”等例子直接对应,形成“总述自律→具体场景体现”的逻辑。故选F项。
【40题详解】
由上文“SSPs are also highly adaptable.(超级成功人士也具有很强的适应性。)”及下文“They are able to stay on top of changes in their industry.(他们能够跟上行业的变化。)”可知,此处需解释“适应性”的含义。G项“It means they are able to accommodate to change and remain flexible in their approach.(这意味着他们能够适应变化,并在方法上保持灵活。)”中it指代“adaptable”,“accommodate to change”、“remain flexible”直接解释了“适应性”的内涵,与“stay on top of changes”形成“概念解释→实际表现”的衔接。故选G项。

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The night sky has been an endless source of fascination since the start of human history. For example, the mysterious large-eyed, bronze statues of the ancient Shu Kingdom, ____56____ (discover) at the Chinese archaeological site at Sanxingdui, were believed to have been able to look across great distances into the stars. In reality, humans can see very little of the night sky with the naked eye. And, for a long while, people were unable to understand ____57____ they could see. Not knowing what the stars were, people in ancient times used their imaginations to create a world in the sky.
Our power to investigate and thus understand space changed ____58____ (dramatic) when the first telescope was angled at the night sky. It increased the power of the human eye, ____59____ (enable) us to understand that the universe is far ____60____ (large) than previously imaginable. The planets were seen to be worlds similar to our own, many of them even having their own moons. Soon, ____61____ was understood that the Sun was just one star among billions in the galaxy which we call the Milky Way.
Almost 400 years after the first Earth-based telescope was invented, the Hubble Space Telescope ____62____ (launch) into orbit. It gave astronomers — indeed all of us — the first breathtakingly beautiful ____63____ (image) of our universe taken from beyond Earth. Nothing in history has allowed us to see so much over such great distances, from enormous clouds of gas where stars are being born, to huge black holes, and even to new planets where we might conceivably find life. Not only that — it has also helped us to work out the age and nature of the universe, and discover the incredible fact that the universe is expanding ____64____ an ever-increasing speed. Currently, China operates the world’s largest ____65____ most powerful radio telescope, the FAST telescope, completed in 2016.
【答案】56. discovered
57. what 58. dramatically
59. enabling
60. larger 61. it
62. was launched
63. images 64. at
65. and
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。人类自古痴迷夜空,望远镜的发明及哈勃、中国FAST望远镜的出现,极大增进了对宇宙的认知。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:例如,在中国三星堆考古遗址发现的古代蜀国神秘的大眼青铜雕像,被认为能够遥望星空。此空考查非谓语,statues与discover为逻辑被动关系,再由语境可知,应用过去分词作后置定语。故填discovered。
【57题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:长期以来,人们无法理解自己所看到的东西。空处引导宾语从句,在从句中作宾语,指物,应用连接代词what,表“什么”。故填what。
【58题详解】
考查副词。句意:当第一台望远镜对准夜空时,我们探索和理解太空的能力发生了巨大变化。修饰动词changed用副词dramatically,表“显著地”,作状语。故填dramatically。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它增强了人类的视力,使我们认识到宇宙比以前想象的要大得多。此空考查非谓语,It与enable为逻辑主动关系,该空后内容是前句造成的自然而然的结果,应用现在分词作结果状语。故填enabling。
【60题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:它增强了人类的视力,使我们认识到宇宙比以前想象的要大得多。由than可知,这里应用形容词比较级larger,表“更大的”。故填larger。
【61题详解】
考查形式主语。句意:很快人们就明白了,太阳只是我们称之为银河系的数十亿恒星中的一颗。分析句子结构可知,句中真正主语是that引导的从句,这里应用it作形式主语。故填it。
【62题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:第一台地基望远镜发明近400年后,哈勃太空望远镜被送入轨道。此空考查谓语动词,the Hubble Space Telescope与launch为被动关系,且动作发生在过去,用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was launched。
【63题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:它为天文学家——实际上是我们所有人——提供了第一批从地球之外拍摄的令人惊叹的宇宙图像。image,表“图像”,为可数名词,且由“the first breathtakingly beautiful”及语境可知,这里应用复数,表“第一批图像”。故填images。
【64题详解】
考查介词。句意:不仅如此,它还帮助我们计算出宇宙的年龄和性质,并发现了宇宙正以不断加快的速度膨胀这一惊人事实。此空考查at a speed,为固定搭配,意为“以……速度”。故填at。
【65题详解】
考查连词。句意:目前,中国拥有世界上最大、最强大的射电望远镜——2016年建成的FAST望远镜。分析句子结构可知,空处连接两个并列的形容词最高级,表并列关系,所以应用并列连词and。故填and。

A survey named “What did You Do for Your Mother on International Women’s Day?” was conducted in our school.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】A survey named “What did You Do for Your Mother on International Women’s Day?” was conducted in our school. There are many things students can do to express best wishes to their mothers. The survey shows that most students prefer to text or give gifts to their mothers while doing housework and communicating with mother face to face prove to be less popular, accounting for 20% and 10% respectively.
The results are interesting, indicating that the mother-kid relationship is quite different from what it used to be. But as for me, I’d rather choose to go for a walk with my mother and we will take the chance to chat happily together. I hold the view that what mothers really need is their children’s understanding and trust.
So why not seize the chance and communicate with your mother more?

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。
When things went wrong, Ittleby Fein always had something nice to say.
When Dad forgot about the pizza and it burned, Ittleby comforted him by saying it would still taste good. And he was right. The pizza edges were dark and crispy, but the middle wasn’t half bad. When Ittleby’s friend David got a low score on the spelling test, Ittleby said that he would do better next time. And, sure enough, David studied hard and got 100 percent the next week. When his teacher, Mr D, bumped into a bookstand in the library, Ittleby told him not to worry as Mrs Bog wouldn’t be upset. He was right. The librarian just laughed and helped pick up the books.
Ittleby looked on the bright side. And everyone liked that about him. Everyone, that is, except Hazel. Hazel was the new kid in the class. On her first day, Ittleby said, “Nice to meet you, Hazel. I think you’ll like it here.” Hazel stared at him. “I doubt it.” Ittleby didn’t know what to do. He’d never met anyone like Hazel.
When Mr D said they’d have recess inside because of the rain, Ittleby said, “Every cloud has a silver lining.” “A silver lining?” Hazel shook her head. “Clouds are white. Maybe gray. Where do you get this stuff?” Ittleby felt as if the wind had been knocked out of him. Outside the window, the clouds had rolled over the sun. The room felt darker.
“Bad things come in threes,” said Hazel. No outdoor recess is number one. What will the second thing be? The class didn’t have to wait long to find out.
Greta was carrying a tray of paints during art class. She tripped, and the paint went flying. There was blue on the floor and red and black on the walls. Hazel declared it to be the second bad thing. Ittleby didn’t know what to say. Hazel seemed so sure about the Rule of Three Bad Things.
Emma came to look at Ittleby’s painting. “It’s beautiful. I especially like the grassland.” She said.
注意:
1、续写词数应为150左右;
2、请按如下格式作答。
She picked it up, not realizing she had paint on her fingers.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Want to add one?” Ittleby asked Hazel.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version
She picked it up, not realizing she had paint on her fingers. The fingerprint lay quietly on the painting, seeming to support Hazel’s Rule of Three Bad Things. Hazel pointed, “Ittleby’s picture is messed up! There’s number three.” Upset, Emma apologized to Ittleby with her face blushing with shame. Ittleby comforted her with a pat on the shoulder and stared at the print for a while. Suddenly, with his eyes lit up, he dipped his finger into the yellow paint and added two more prints onto the painting. Now, together with Emma’s, they looked like three colorful butterflies flying above the green grassland.
“Want to add one?” Ittleby asked Hazel. Hazel thought about it. “It will be fun.” Ittleby encouraged her. “How strange!”, thought Hazel, hesitantly dipped her finger into the print. Gently pressing it onto Ittleby’s painting, she carefully added wings. “It looks great,” said Ittleby. Outside, the sky happened to clear up, casting golden bright light on the field of butterflies. Looking into each other’s eyes, Hazel and Ittleby laughed together merrily. Ittleby said to Hazel, “Forget your Rule of Three Bad Things. Although bad things happen, good things happen, too. And sometimes, there were good things hiding where they didn’t expect them.”
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Ittleby总能说些好听的话,他看到了光明的一面,每个人都喜欢他这一点,除了Hazel。Hazel似乎对三件坏事的规则深信不疑。这天美术课Emma来看Ittleby的画,结果颜料弄到了画上,而Ittleby通过自己的智慧顺利化解了这一情况。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“她捡了起来,没有意识到手指上有颜料。”可知,第一段可描写Emma把颜料弄到画上,Hazel说这是第三件坏事。
②由第二段首句内容“‘想再加一个吗?’Ittleby问Hazel。”可知,第二段可描写Ittleby告诉Hazel虽然坏事时有发生,但好事也会发生。有时候,好东西就藏在他们意想不到的地方。
2.续写线索:颜料毁画——印证Hazel理论——Ittleby想到办法——邀请Hazel作画——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
思考:think about/ reflect on
和……一起:together with /along with
预料:expect /anticipate
情绪类
沮丧:upset /discouraged
小心:carefully / with caution
【点睛】[高分句型1] The fingerprint lay quietly on the painting, seeming to support Hazel’s Rule of Three Bad Things. (运用了现在分词作状语)
[高分句型2] Although bad things happen, good things happen, too. (运用了although引导让步状语从句)

Chinese Baijiu| Most Popular Liquor in China
When it comes to alcohol, China is most famous for baijiu. There are so many varieties of baijiu in China and all are typically high proof, so expect a heavy burn when drinking it and be sure to drink this one responsibly. Baijiu translates directly as “white liquor” and is made from sorghum (高粱), white rice, sticky rice, wheat, corn, or a blend of these ingredients.
Here are the top brands of baijiu I suggest trying in China:
BRANDS
FEATURES
Maotai
* China’s premium brand of baijiu
* the drink of choice for China’s top government officials and business elites
* among the most expensive you can buy
*a best choice of gift
Wuliangye
*a blend of the sacred “5 grains” in China
* with an abundance of flavor
* popular among Chinese
* slightly less expensive than the Maotai brand
Luzhoulaojiao
* one of the four oldest distilleries in China
* originated way back during the Ming Dynasty
* with valuable tradition behind how it is made
* with good flavor
Erguōtóu
* the Chinese equivalent of a cheap vodka
* easily available at any Chinese convenience store for cheap
You can learn more about how Chinese baijiu is made, consumed, and even purchase it on Baijiu America. It’s not a casual drink, though, so in China you should only expect to drink baijiu during formal occasions, weddings, or during Chinese New Year.

I.M. Pei, who died at 102, was a dominant figure in architecture for over half a century. He designed some of the finest buildings around the world. No one was surprised when he became one of the first winners of the Pritzker Prize.
Born in Guangzhou in 1917 to a wealthy banking family, I.M.Pei knew from an early age that be wanted to create buildings. To that end he came as a teenager to the United States and trained in modernism at MIT and Harvard, where he was mentored by Walter Gropius, one of the masters of the International Style.
But the style that most defined I.M.Pei’s practice was not so much the International Style as Brutalism (粗野主义). So-called because its favored material was raw, unfaced concrete and also because it favored simple, aggressive volumes. Disruption (颠覆) was the entire point. I.M.Pei, however, altered it into a medium of elegance, and it is difficult not to feel that there must be some connection between that mood and the friendly elegance of his own manners.
Perhaps his most remarkable achievement in the United States was the East Wing of the National Gallery of Art on the Washington Mall. It was this wing that brought him to the attention of Francois Mitterand, the president of France, who had just decided to expand and fundamentally transform the Louvre.
I.M.Pei’s most visible intervention in that great institution was the Pyramid, which, in its perfect combination of formal beauty, functionality and symbolic significance, may well represent the single most impressive stroke of genius in the architecture of the past half century. But an even greater achievement was the less obvious transformation of how the world’s largest and most famous museum functioned: what had seemed for generations to be a dangerous labyrinth (迷宫) was suddenly reborn as an open, spacious place of high culture that now lifted the spirits of all who entered. That achievement by itself will surely be enough to secure I.M.Pei’s place as one of the most outstanding architects of the 20th century.
24. What can be learned about I.M. Pei from Paragraph 2?
A. He was a born architect.
B. He was popular at MIT.
C. He was famous before graduation.
D. He was ambitious from childhood.
25. What characterizes I.M. Pei’s approach to Brutalism?
A. Display of destructive elements.
B. Addition of an elegant feel.
C. Adoption of new materials.
D. Inclusion of the International Style.
26. What major transformation did I.M. Pei bring to the Louvre?
A. The combination of traditional and modern styles.
B. The upgrade of it accessibility and atmosphere.
C. The redesign of its overall appearance.
D. The expansion of its space and collection.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. The architectural practice of I.M. Pei.
B. The impact of I.M.Pei on modern architecture.
C. The life and achievements of I.M.Pei.
D. The cultural significance of I.M.Pei’s designs.
C
Scientists have uncovered communities of animals living in volcanic caves beneath the seafloor, revealing a previously unknown but thriving ecosystem. Previous research had found microbes (微生物) living underground near hydrothermal vents (热液喷口) , but this is the first reported discovery of larger animals such as tubeworms and snails in the underground habitat.
Hydrothermal vents are cracks in the seafloor where hot water from the Earth’s core mixes with seawater. Much of the ocean floor is considered nearly uninhabitable. But around hydrothermal vents there’s an explosion of life. Communities of shrimp, crabs, tubeworms and hundreds of unique animal species have been previously found, but not underneath, these vents. They’re known as “extremophiles,” or life that can survive under extremely high temperatures and pressure. These species survive not on the sun’s energy, which fuels the food web elsewhere on Earth, but on nutrients produced when seawater mixes with magma.
Recent scientific research has revealed that tubeworms and sea snails can be found not only on top of the seafloor but also underneath rocky sections. This discovery has the potential to significantly advance our understanding of these species’ life cycle and behavior. The researchers think tubeworms might disperse throughout the caves, with some settling and growing in cracks on the seafloor and others staying in the caves and growing to adulthood there—which would mean the seafloor and small caves underneath are an interconnected ecosystem, where cold and warm water flows mix and promote tubeworm growth.
The hydrothermal vent ecosystem in this area is not restricted to what we see above but includes life in the subsurface. Deep-sea mining, which involves extracting (获取) minerals from the deep seabed, is a major threat to deep-sea ecosystems and is opposed by scientists and conservation organizations. “We don’t know how extensive those connected little caves are, and we’re unable to assess the biodiversity within the subsurface. Since seafloor ecosystems are likely interconnected. Large stretches of the seafloor need to be protected.” says Rachel Lauer, a geologist at the University of Caigary.
28. What does the new study reveal?
A. Volcanic activity is frequent in the deep sea.
B. Larger animals thrive beneath the ocean floor.
C. There is a community of microbes underground.
D. Hydrothermal vents shape the marine ecosystem.
29. What do we know about species living around hydrothermal vents?
A. They feed on underwater plants.
B. They rely on sunlight for energy.
C. They can survive in extreme conditions.
D. They favor a relatively hot environment.
30. What does the underlined word “disperse” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Float. B. Evolve.
C. Frustrate. D. Spread
31. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To call on people to protect seafloor ecosystems.
B. To stress the importance of conserving biodiversity.
C. To explain the link between volcanic caves and the seafloor.
D. To show the effect of deep-sea mining on life in the subsurface.
D
South Korean scientists have developed a new type of food called “meaty rice”. It is a mixture of cow muscle and fat cells integrated into rice grains. The research team at Seoul’s Yonsei University led by Professor Park So-hyeon, used a technique called cell-cultured protein, which involves growing animal cells in the lab without harming any animals. They then infused (注入) these cells into rice grains, using a special process that preserves the grain’s structure and properties.
Meaty rice is a pink-hued grain that is packed with beef muscle and fat cells, offering a meaty taste and texture. According to the study, each gram of meaty rice contains about 0.4 grams of protein, compared to 0.08 grams in regular rice. It also has a higher iron, zinc and vitamin B12 content, which are essential for human health. It offers a unique flavor, enhances nutrition and reduces environmental impact.
Conventional meat production consumes large amounts of land, water and energy and releases greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. Meaty rice, on the other hand, requires fewer resources and produces fewer emissions than animal farming. According to the study, meaty rice could reduce land use by 99%, water use by 96% and greenhouse gas emissions by 92%, compared to beef production.
However, meaty rice is still in its early stages of development and many issues must be tackled before it can be widely accepted. For instance, how will it affect the health and safety of consumers? How will it affect the livelihoods (生计) of farmers and the economy of food production? The researchers are optimistic that meaty rice will be a game-changer for the future of food and they are planning to conduct more tests to improve its quality. They believe that meaty rice could be the next frontier of food innovation and also help relieve hunger and malnutrition by providing cheaper and more accessible sources of protein and micronutrients.
32. How did researchers develop the meaty rice?
A. By adding artificial flavors to rice grains. B. By growing rice in a special environment.
C. By integrating animal cells into rice grains. D. By infusing plant-based proteins into meat.
33. What advantage does meaty rice have over regular rice?
A. It has a higher yield. B. It is more nutritious.
C. It has a fresher taste. D. It is more affordable.
34. What is the purpose of paragraph 3?
A. To stress the strengths of meaty rice production.
B. To explain the challenges of developing meaty rice.
C. To reveal the significance of promoting green farming.
D. To show the increasing demand for meat consumption.
35. What can we infer about meaty rice according to researchers?
A. It can be a key option to address the food crisis.
B. It can greatly expand the livelihoods of farmers.
C. It will completely resolve global issues of starvation.
D. It will replace traditional meat products in the future.

When things went wrong, Ittleby Fein always had something nice to say.
When Dad forgot about the pizza and it burned Ittleby comforted him by saying it would still taste good. And he was right. The pizza edges were dark and crispy, but the middle wasn’t half bad. When Ittleby’s friend David got a low score on the spelling test, Ittleby said that he would do better next time. And, sure enough, David studied hard and got 100 percent the next week. When his teacher, Mr D, bumped into a bookstand in the library, Ittleby told him not to worry as Mrs Bog wouldn’t be upset. He was right. The librarian just laughed and helped pick up the books.
Ittleby looked on the bright side. And everyone liked that about him. Everyone, that is, except Hazel. Hazel was the new kid in the class. On her first day, Ittleby said, “Nice to meet you, Hazel. I think you’ll like it here.” Hazel stared at him. “I doubt it.” Ittleby didn’t know what to do. He’d never met anyone like Hazel.
When Mr D said they’d have recess inside because of the rain, Ittleby said, “Every cloud has a silver lining.” “A silver lining?” Hazel shook her head. “Clouds are white. Maybe gray. Where do you get this stuff?” Ittleby felt as if the wind had been knocked out of him. Outside the window, the clouds had rolled over the sun. The room felt darker.
“Bad things come in threes,” said Hazel. No outdoor recess is number one. What will the second thing be? The class didn’t have to wait long to find out.
Greta was carrying a tray of paints during art class. She tripped, and the paint went flying. There was blue on the floor and red and black on the walls. Hazel declared it to be the second bad thing. Ittleby didn’t know what to say. Hazel seemed so sure about the Rule of Three Bad Things.
Emma came to look at Ittleby’s painting. “It’s beautiful. I especially like the grassland.” She said.
注意:
1、续写词数应为150左右;

She picked it up, not realizing she had paint on her fingers.
