Bright and early on the morning of our first full day in Antarctica, L’ Austral’s Captain Fabien’s voice woke us up as it came through a loudspeaker. If we looked outside right now, he said, we’d see a beautiful sea of icebergs in the golden sunlight. My sister and I jumped out of bed, staring in amazement as we sailed past giant pieces of ice. In the distance, we spotted a group of humpback whales feeding on smaller fishes. Next door, my parents were also waking up to the sights of a new day in Antarctica. Over breakfast, my sister and I excitedly told them about the whales we saw from our room that morning.
You might not immediately think of “family vacation” when talking about a trip to Antarctica, but tour companies like Adventures by Disney are changing that. The company offers guided group trips to destinations across all seven continents in the world.
Our adventure started when we flew to Buenos Aires and explored the beautiful Argentine capital for a day. After leaving Buenos Aires, we flew to Ushuaia on an Adventures by Disney plane. Then, it was the journey toward the Drake Passage. After a speedy Drake Passage crossing, we reached Antarctica early, adding a half day to our scheduled four days on and around the continent.
To those unfamiliar with Adventures by Disney, the fact that you can experience Antarctica — the most distant, extreme continent — with Disney might be surprising. During the trip, there were thoughtful acts, from stamped postcards to send from an Antarctica post office to a champagne (香槟) party on our final stop of the journey; Adventures by Disney truly thought of everything for us. Antarctica is a life-changing destination packed with experiences that can’t be copied. We experienced seasickness when travelling across the Drake Passage, hiked up ice hills alongside lovely animals, and had a taste of champagne. And honestly, it’s going to be hard for the next family trip we may take to compete.
4. How did the author and her sister feel when sailing past the icebergs?
A. Terrific. B. Confused. C. Frightened. D. Dangerous.
5. What happened first on the author’s journey?
A. They flew to Ushuaia.
B. They toured around Buenos Aires.
C. They passed through the Drake Passage.
D. They hiked up ice hills alongside lovely animals.
6. What can we infer about their travel from the last paragraph?
A. The author might feel bad when crossing the Drake Passage.
B. The author was the most impressed by the champagne party.
C. The author believes that their next travel will be more thrilling.
D. The author thought an Antarctica post office should be established.
7. Which can serve as the best title for the text?
A. Exploring Antarctica — A Place with Various animals
B. An Antarctic Adventure for Scientific Research
C. A Comfortable Travel Experience
D. A Family’s Journey to Antarctica
C
The first thing most of us do when working with people from a new culture is to learn about differences. And there are very sensible reasons to do so. It helps you avoid cultural misunderstandings. But focusing on differences alone can have its downsides. For one thing, there’s a likely chance you’ll be wrong. Focusing on differences can also be quite mentally taxing. So, if you don’t focus on differences, what then can you do to be more effective across cultures? In our experience, an equally reasonable and highly effective alternative technique is to focus on similarities. And this change in perspective can have some pretty powerful effects.
If you think about it, this is probably exactly how you establish connections and relationships in your own culture. You don’t approach a person thinking about all the potential ways you could be different; instead, you naturally gravitate to similarities, finding things you might have in common to form the basis of a relationship. Although we tend to approach cross-cultural interactions quite differently, the same technique actually works just as well across cultures. When focused on similarities, you’re open to — and, in fact, looking for — a potential connection. Perhaps it’s a hobby you share in common with a coworker, or maybe both of you at a business meeting abroad have families you’re trying to connect with. By focusing on similarities you have the power to create connections and build relationships that either eliminate cultural differences or make them irrelevant.
Another advantage of this approach is that your coworkers are more likely to feel that you see them as an individual. On the other hand, focusing on similarities means you are suited to the particularities of the specific person you are interacting with. This is more likely to result in the other party feeling seen and heard for who they are, and can kick off a positive lift of mutual (相互的) openness and trust.
8. Why do people focus on differences in a multicultural company?
A. To emphasize their own culture. B. To reduce unnecessary troubles.
C. To take advantage of other culture. D. To make the workplace multicultural.
9. What’s the significance of focusing on similarities in a multicultural company?
A. The origin of the hobbies. B. The start of work efficiency.
C. The foundation of connections. D. The improvement of your family.
10. What does the underlined word “eliminate” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Maintain. B. Strengthen. C. Remove. D. Worsen.
11. Which is the advantage of focusing on similarities in the last paragraph?
A. Making others feel valued. B. Making yourself centred.
C. Indicating your interest. D. Making others adapt to your culture.
D
When it comes to being fit and healthy, we’re often reminded to aim to walk 10,000 steps per day. This can annoy many, especially when we’re busy with work and other commitments — and yet where did this number actually come from?
The 10,000 steps a day target seems to have come about from a trade name pedometer sold in1965 by Yamasa Clock in Japan. The device was called “Manpo-kei”, which translates to “10,000 steps meter”. This was a marketing tool for the device and has seemed to have stuck across the world as the daily step target. It’s even included in daily activity targets by popular smartwatches, such as Fitbit.
Research has since investigated the 10,000 steps a day target. But while some research has shown health benefits at 10,000 steps, recent research from Harvard Medical School has shown that, on average, around 4.400 steps a day is enough to significantly lower the risk of death in women. This was when compared to only walking around 2,700 steps daily. The more steps people walked, the lower their risk of dying was,before leveling off at around 7,500 steps a day. No additional benefits were seen with more steps. Although it’s uncertain whether similar results would be seen in men, it’s one example of how moving a little bit more daily can improve health and lower risk of death.
Recent research at the University of Texas has also demonstrated that if you’re walking fewer than 5,000 steps a day, your body is less able to metabolize (新陈代谢) fat the following day. A buildup of fat in the body can also increase a person’s likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes. This is further supported by previous research which shows people who walked less than 4,000 steps a day could not change this decreased fat metabolism.
If you want to increase how many steps you get daily, or simply want to move more, one easy way includes walking to work if possible, or taking part of an online exercise program if you’re working from home. Meeting with friends for a walk — rather than in a cafe or pub — can also be useful.
12. What does the author think of the 10,000 steps per day?
A. It is an upsetting target to achieve. B. It is likely to go out of style quickly.
C. It is a rising tendency of mental health D. It is effective in reducing pressure on work.
13. What does research from the Harvard Medical School suggest about the target?
A. It matters as much as 7500 steps a day. B. The more steps, the lower risk of death.
C. A bit more than the target can improve health. D. About half that target appears to be beneficial.
14. What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Absence of previous research. B. Recent findings of fat buildup.
C. Problems of less daily walking. D. Possible causes of physical challenges.
15. Which of the following is one of the suggested ways according to the passage?
A. Working at home. B. Treating friends in a cafe or pub.
C. Driving lo work. D. Signing up for online exercise programs.
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。其中有两项为多余选项。
Do you want to get yourself a great photo?Learn how to look good and natural in your photo with these simple tips.
Keep it real. The human eye is very good at spotting the difference between a “social smile”,where just the mouth muscles are working, and a “real smile”, which reaches the eyes. If you force a smile for the photo, it risks making you look not genuine. ___16___
Get the eyeballing right. A straight gaze looks aggressive, while gazing down at the camera seems commanding and gazing up small and weak. ___17___ Whichever option you choose, it’s best to avoid extremes.
Design your body language. The wider your body stretches, the more relaxed you look. ___18___ Think of a king looking down thoughtfully from his throne. If you’re making a gesture, or the wind is blowing your hair, you look lively and playful—that’s great as long as it’s real. Again, people are good at detecting insincerity.
___19___ Avoid using selfies, which often come out looking either vain or self-conscious. There are lots of studios offering shots—and videos—that look attractive and natural. Talk to the photographer to make sure he/she puts you at ease, because that’s how you want to look on the site. ___20___ Make the trip as fun and loving as possible—when there’s someone you love behind the camera, you’ll show an affectionate look unconsciously, and people are more likely to think, “I want that person to look at me like that!”
A. Find your photographer.
B. Be creative in your photography.
C. Looking slightly at an angle is often the friendliest.
D. You will discover a lot about yourself through your photo.
E. Have your photo taken when you are really enjoying yourself.
F. Similarly,the stiller you are,the more formal and confident you seem.
G. For a cheaper option,ask a close friend to go somewhere nice with you and snap away.

Your Dad and I are very ____25____ of your accomplishment, but could you try to ____26____ in class?”
The same was ____27____ of our younger daughter. She treats the floor of her room as a closet, which has often caused me to say, “Yes, that project is great, but ____28____ your room!”
I’ve noticed that other ____29____ do the same thing. “Our whole family was together for Christmas, but Kyle skipped out early to play his new computer game.” “The hockey team won, but Mike should have made that last _____30_____.”
But, but, but.
Instead, what I have learned from my mother is to start thinking “and, and, and”. _____31_____, “The hockey team won, and Mike did his best the whole game.”
Now, I am firmly _____32_____ that “but” feels bad, “and” feels good. This is not to say that children don’t need or won’t respond to their parents’ _____33_____. They do and they will. When those expectations are consistently _____34_____, amazing things happen.
“No more buts!” is a call for _____35_____. And if I ever forget, I have my mother’s note to remind me.

57. 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。
In the beautiful town Riverview surrounded by rolling hills, lived two brothers, Jack and Tom.
They were as different as night and day-Jack, the older by two years, was a keen reader with a preference for quiet moments spent in academic books, his nose often buried in the pages of historical texts or scientific journals. Compared with him, Tom was totally different, full of energy and enthusiasm, always longing for the outdoors. He found joy that came from playing soccer and basketball. The differences between them often led to arguments, creating a gap that seemed impossible to bridge.
One summer, their parents, hoping to mend the growing divide between them, decided to send them on a camping trip in the nearby Blue Ridge Mountains. They thought that the fresh mountain air, coupled with outdoor activities, would bring them closer.
Unwillingly, the two brothers packed their bags, each secretly hoping that the other would give up at the last minute. But neither did, and soon enough, they found themselves setting up camp under a canopy(顶篷)of twinkling stars, the cool night breeze whispering through the trees.
The first few days were tense. They quarreled over insignificant matters-who should carry the water bottle, who got to choose the music during meals, and whose turn it was to gather firewood. Their unpleasant quarrel echoed through the quiet forest, breaking the peace that enveloped them. Each disagreement seemed to widen the crack between them until one evening when things took a dramatic turn.
A sudden storm rolled in. The wind howled through the trees, and rain began to pour. In the disorder of securing the tent and gathering supplies to prevent them from getting wet, Tom slipped on a muddy path and hurt his ankle badly. Struggling with extreme pain, he knew that he had to turn to Campsite medical tent.
注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡上相应位置作答。
Noticing his brother in such a situation, Jack’s heart softened immediately.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As Tom healed, the brothers worked together to complete the camping trip.

Bright and early on the morning of our first full day in Antarctica, L’ Austral’s Captain Fabien’s voice woke us up as it came through a loudspeaker. If we looked outside right now, he said, we’d see a beautiful sea of icebergs in the golden sunlight. My sister and I jumped out of bed, staring in amazement as we sailed past giant pieces of ice. In the distance, we spotted a group of humpback whales feeding on smaller fishes. Next door, my parents were also waking up to the sights of a new day in Antarctica. Over breakfast, my sister and I excitedly told them about the whales we saw from our room that morning.
You might not immediately think of “family vacation” when talking about a trip to Antarctica, but tour companies like Adventures by Disney are changing that. The company offers guided group trips to destinations across all seven continents in the world.
Our adventure started when we flew to Buenos Aires and explored the beautiful Argentine capital for a day. After leaving Buenos Aires, we flew to Ushuaia on an Adventures by Disney plane. Then, it was the journey toward the Drake Passage. After a speedy Drake Passage crossing, we reached Antarctica early, adding a half day to our scheduled four days on and around the continent.
To those unfamiliar with Adventures by Disney, the fact that you can experience Antarctica — the most distant, extreme continent — with Disney might be surprising. During the trip, there were thoughtful acts, from stamped postcards to send from an Antarctica post office to a champagne (香槟) party on our final stop of the journey; Adventures by Disney truly thought of everything for us. Antarctica is a life-changing destination packed with experiences that can’t be copied. We experienced seasickness when travelling across the Drake Passage, hiked up ice hills alongside lovely animals, and had a taste of champagne. And honestly, it’s going to be hard for the next family trip we may take to compete.
4. How did the author and her sister feel when sailing past the icebergs?
A. Terrific. B. Confused. C. Frightened. D. Dangerous.
5. What happened first on the author’s journey?
A. They flew to Ushuaia.

C The author believes that their next travel will be more thrilling.
D. The author thought an Antarctica post office should be established.

The first thing most of us do when working with people from a new culture is to learn about differences. And there are very sensible reasons to do so. It helps you avoid cultural misunderstandings. But focusing on differences alone can have its downsides. For one thing, there’s a likely chance you’ll be wrong. Focusing on differences can also be quite mentally taxing. So, if you don’t focus on differences, what then can you do to be more effective across cultures? In our experience, an equally reasonable and highly effective alternative technique is to focus on similarities. And this change in perspective can have some pretty powerful effects.
If you think about it, this is probably exactly how you establish connections and relationships in your own culture. You don’t approach a person thinking about all the potential ways you could be different; instead, you naturally gravitate to similarities, finding things you might have in common to form the basis of a relationship. Although we tend to approach cross-cultural interactions quite differently, the same technique actually works just as well across cultures. When focused on similarities, you’re open to — and, in fact, looking for — a potential connection. Perhaps it’s a hobby you share in common with a coworker, or maybe both of you at a business meeting abroad have families you’re trying to connect with. By focusing on similarities you have the power to create connections and build relationships that either eliminate cultural differences or make them irrelevant.
Another advantage of this approach is that your coworkers are more likely to feel that you see them as an individual. On the other hand, focusing on similarities means you are suited to the particularities of the specific person you are interacting with. This is more likely to result in the other party feeling seen and heard for who they are, and can kick off a positive lift of mutual (相互的) openness and trust.
8. Why do people focus on differences in a multicultural company?
A. To emphasize their own culture. B. To reduce unnecessary troubles.
C. To take advantage of other culture. D. To make the workplace multicultural.
9. What’s the significance of focusing on similarities in a multicultural company?
A. The origin of the hobbies. B. The start of work efficiency.
C The foundation of connections. D. The improvement of your family.
10. What does the underlined word “eliminate” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Maintain. B. Strengthen. C. Remove. D. Worsen.
11. Which is the advantage of focusing on similarities in the last paragraph?
A. Making others feel valued. B. Making yourself centred.
C. Indicating your interest. D. Making others adapt to your culture.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在多文化公司中,人们应该更多地关注相似之处而不是差异。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The first thing most of us do when working with people from a new culture is to learn about differences. And there are very sensible reasons to do so. It helps you avoid cultural misunderstandings.(当我们与来自新文化的人合作时,我们大多数人做的第一件事就是了解差异。这样做有一些非常明智的理由。它有助于你避免文化误解。)”可知,在多元文化公司中,人们关注差异是为了减少不必要的麻烦。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“You don’t approach a person thinking about all the potential ways you could be different; instead, you naturally gravitate to similarities, finding things you might have in common to form the basis of a relationship.(当你接近一个人时,你不会思考你们所有可能不同的地方;相反,你会自然地被相似性所吸引,找到你们可能共有的东西,以此作为关系的基础。)”可知,在多元文化公司中关注相似性可以建立联系的基础。故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词句上文“You don’t approach a person thinking about all the potential ways you could be different; instead, you naturally gravitate to similarities, finding things you might have in common to form the basis of a relationship.(你不会在接近一个人时就去想你们之间所有可能的不同之处;相反,你会自然而然地被相似之处所吸引,寻找你们可能共有的东西,作为建立关系的基础。)”可知,通过关注相似性,你有能力创造联系并建立关系,从而消除文化差异或使它们变得无关紧要,由此可知,eliminate意为“消除”,与选项C“Remove”意思相近。故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Another advantage of this approach is that your coworkers are more likely to feel that you see them as an individual.(这种方法的另一个优点是,你的同事更有可能觉得你把他们当作个体来看待。)”等内容可知,关注相似性的优势是让别人感到被重视。故选A。

When it comes to being fit and healthy, we’re often reminded to aim to walk 10,000 steps per day. This can annoy many, especially when we’re busy with work and other commitments — and yet where did this number actually come from?
The 10,000 steps a day target seems to have come about from a trade name pedometer sold in1965 by Yamasa Clock in Japan. The device was called “Manpo-kei”, which translates to “10,000 steps meter”. This was a marketing tool for the device and has seemed to have stuck across the world as the daily step target. It’s even included in daily activity targets by popular smartwatches, such as Fitbit.
Research has since investigated the 10,000 steps a day target. But while some research has shown health benefits at 10,000 steps, recent research from Harvard Medical School has shown that, on average, around 4.400 steps a day is enough to significantly lower the risk of death in women. This was when compared to only walking around 2,700 steps daily. The more steps people walked, the lower their risk of dying was,before leveling off at around 7,500 steps a day. No additional benefits were seen with more steps. Although it’s uncertain whether similar results would be seen in men, it’s one example of how moving a little bit more daily can improve health and lower risk of death.
Recent research at the University of Texas has also demonstrated that if you’re walking fewer than 5,000 steps a day, your body is less able to metabolize (新陈代谢) fat the following day. A buildup of fat in the body can also increase a person’s likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes. This is further supported by previous research which shows people who walked less than 4,000 steps a day could not change this decreased fat metabolism.
If you want to increase how many steps you get daily, or simply want to move more, one easy way includes walking to work if possible, or taking part of an online exercise program if you’re working from home. Meeting with friends for a walk — rather than in a cafe or pub — can also be useful.
12. What does the author think of the 10,000 steps per day?
A. It is an upsetting target to achieve. B. It is likely to go out of style quickly.
C. It is a rising tendency of mental health D. It is effective in reducing pressure on work.
13. What does research from the Harvard Medical School suggest about the target?
A. It matters as much as 7500 steps a day. B. The more steps, the lower risk of death.
C. A bit more than the target can improve health. D. About half that target appears to be beneficial.
14. What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Absence of previous research. B. Recent findings of fat buildup.
C. Problems of less daily walking. D. Possible causes of physical challenges.
15. Which of the following is one of the suggested ways according to the passage?
A. Working at home. B. Treating friends in a cafe or pub.
C. Driving lo work. D. Signing up for online exercise programs.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了每天走10000步这一目标的来源、相关研究及增加日常步数的建议。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“When it comes to being fit and healthy, we’re often reminded to aim to walk 10,000 steps per day. This can annoy many, especially when we’re busy with work and other commitments — and yet where did this number actually come from?(说起保持健康体魄,我们常被提醒要争取每天走一万步。这令许多人感到厌烦,尤其是当我们忙于工作和其他事务时——然而,这个数字究竟从何而来呢?)”可知,作者认为每天走10000步是一个令人烦恼的目标。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“But while some research has shown health benefits at 10,000 steps, recent research from Harvard Medical School has shown that, on average, around 4.400 steps a day is enough to significantly lower the risk of death in women.(虽然一些研究表明,每天走10000步对健康有益,但哈佛医学院最近的研究表明,平均每天走大约4400步就足以显著降低女性的死亡风险。)”可知,哈佛医学院的研究表明,大约是10000步目标的一半(4400步)似乎对降低女性死亡风险有益。故选D。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Recent research at the University of Texas has also demonstrated that if you’re walking fewer than 5,000 steps a day, your body is less able to metabolize (新陈代谢) fat the following day. A buildup of fat in the body can also increase a person’s likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes.(得克萨斯大学最近的研究也表明,如果你每天走路少于5000步,第二天你的身体分解脂肪的能力就会下降。体内脂肪堆积还会增加一个人患心血管疾病和糖尿病的可能性。)”可知,本段主要讲述了每天走路少(少于5000步)可能带来的问题,如身体代谢脂肪能力下降、增加患心血管疾病和糖尿病的风险等。故选C。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“If you want to increase how many steps you get daily, or simply want to move more, one easy way includes walking to work if possible, or taking part of an online exercise program if you’re working from home.(如果你想增加每天的步数,或者只是想多运动,一个简单的方法包括如果可能的话步行上班,或者如果你在家工作的话,参加一个在线锻炼项目。)”可知,参加在线锻炼项目是增加日常步数的一个建议方法。故选D。
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。其中有两项为多余选项。
Do you want to get yourself a great photo?Learn how to look good and natural in your photo with these simple tips.
Keep it real. The human eye is very good at spotting the difference between a “social smile”,where just the mouth muscles are working, and a “real smile”, which reaches the eyes. If you force a smile for the photo, it risks making you look not genuine. ___16___
Get the eyeballing right. A straight gaze looks aggressive, while gazing down at the camera seems commanding and gazing up small and weak. ___17___ Whichever option you choose, it’s best to avoid extremes.
Design your body language. The wider your body stretches, the more relaxed you look. ___18___ Think of a king looking down thoughtfully from his throne. If you’re making a gesture, or the wind is blowing your hair, you look lively and playful—that’s great as long as it’s real. Again, people are good at detecting insincerity.
___19___ Avoid using selfies, which often come out looking either vain or self-conscious. There are lots of studios offering shots—and videos—that look attractive and natural. Talk to the photographer to make sure he/she puts you at ease, because that’s how you want to look on the site. ___20___ Make the trip as fun and loving as possible—when there’s someone you love behind the camera, you’ll show an affectionate look unconsciously, and people are more likely to think, “I want that person to look at me like that!”
A. Find your photographer.
B. Be creative in your photography.
C. Looking slightly at an angle is often the friendliest.
D. You will discover a lot about yourself through your photo.
E. Have your photo taken when you are really enjoying yourself.
F. Similarly,the stiller you are,the more formal and confident you seem.
G For a cheaper option,ask a close friend to go somewhere nice with you and snap away.
【答案】16. E 17. C 18. F 19. A 20. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章给出拍出好照片的技巧:保持真实、眼神恰当、设计肢体语言、找合适拍摄者,呈现自然好看的状态。
【16题详解】
由上文“If you force a smile for the photo, it risks making you look not genuine.(如果你在照片中强颜欢笑,可能会让你看起来不真诚。)”可知,此处需要说明如何拍出自然真诚的状态。E项Have your photo taken when you are really enjoying yourself.(当你真正开心的时候再拍照。)中“really enjoying yourself”呼应上文“real smile”,说明在真正愉悦时拍照能呈现自然状态,避免不真诚,逻辑连贯。故选E项。
【17题详解】
由上文“A straight gaze looks aggressive, while gazing down at the camera seems commanding and gazing up small and weak.(直视显得有攻击性,低头看镜头显得有掌控力,抬头看则显得渺小软弱。)”及下文“Whichever option you choose, it’s best to avoid extremes.(无论选择哪种,最好避免极端。)”可知,此处需要提出一种适中的眼神方式。C项Looking slightly at an angle is often the friendliest.(稍微侧视通常是最友好的。)中“slightly at an angle”是介于“直视、低头、抬头”之间的适中方式,符合“避免极端”的建议,“friendliest”也体现了自然友好的状态,衔接自然。故选C项。
【18题详解】
由上文“The wider your body stretches, the more relaxed you look.(身体伸展得越开,看起来就越放松。)”可知,此处需要说明相反的身体状态带来的效果。F项Similarly,the stiller you are, the more formal and confident you seem.(同样,你越安静,看起来就越正式和自信。)中“Similarly”表并列,“the stiller you are,the more formal and confident you seem”与上文“The wider your body stretches, the more relaxed you look” 形成对比,补充了不同身体语言的效果,逻辑完整。故选F项。
【19题详解】
由下文“Avoid using selfies, which often come out looking either vain or self-conscious. There are lots of studios offering shots—and videos—that look attractive and natural. Talk to the photographer to make sure he/she puts you at ease, because that’s how you want to look on the site. (避免使用自拍,因为自拍往往看起来很虚荣或很不自在。有很多工作室提供看起来有吸引力和自然的镜头和视频。与摄影师交谈,确保他/她让你放松,因为这就是你想在网站上看到的样子。)”可知,此处需要提出关于拍摄者选择的建议。A项Find your photographer.(找到你的摄影师。) 中“Find your photographer”统领下文关于避免自拍、选择工作室和与摄影师沟通的内容,作为段落主题句,明确该部分聚焦拍摄者的选择,结构清晰。故选A项。
【20题详解】
由上文“Talk to the photographer to make sure he/she puts you at ease, because that’s how you want to look on the site.(与摄影师交谈,确保他/她让你放松,因为这就是你想在网站上看到的样子。)”及下文“Make the trip as fun and loving as possible—when there’s someone you love behind the camera, you’ll show an affectionate look unconsciously, and people are more likely to think, “I want that person to look at me like that!”(让这次旅行尽可能有趣和充满爱意——当相机后面有你爱的人时,你会无意识地露出深情的表情,人们更有可能想,“我希望那个人那样看着我!”)”可知,此处需要提供另一种拍摄者选择。G项For a cheaper option,ask a close friend to go somewhere nice with you and snap away.(作为更便宜的选择,让亲密的朋友和你一起去好地方抓拍。) 中“For a cheaper option”与上文“studios”形成对比,“close friend”呼应下文“someone you love”,提供了经济实惠的替代方案,衔接紧密。故选G项。

57. 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。
In the beautiful town Riverview surrounded by rolling hills, lived two brothers, Jack and Tom.
They were as different as night and day-Jack, the older by two years, was a keen reader with a preference for quiet moments spent in academic books, his nose often buried in the pages of historical texts or scientific journals. Compared with him, Tom was totally different, full of energy and enthusiasm, always longing for the outdoors. He found joy that came from playing soccer and basketball. The differences between them often led to arguments, creating a gap that seemed impossible to bridge.
One summer, their parents, hoping to mend the growing divide between them, decided to send them on a camping trip in the nearby Blue Ridge Mountains. They thought that the fresh mountain air, coupled with outdoor activities, would bring them closer.
Unwillingly, the two brothers packed their bags, each secretly hoping that the other would give up at the last minute. But neither did, and soon enough, they found themselves setting up camp under a canopy(顶篷)of twinkling stars, the cool night breeze whispering through the trees.
The first few days were tense. They quarreled over insignificant matters-who should carry the water bottle, who got to choose the music during meals, and whose turn it was to gather firewood. Their unpleasant quarrel echoed through the quiet forest, breaking the peace that enveloped them. Each disagreement seemed to widen the crack between them until one evening when things took a dramatic turn.
A sudden storm rolled in. The wind howled through the trees, and rain began to pour. In the disorder of securing the tent and gathering supplies to prevent them from getting wet, Tom slipped on a muddy path and hurt his ankle badly. Struggling with extreme pain, he knew that he had to turn to Campsite medical tent.
注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡上相应位置作答。
Noticing his brother in such a situation, Jack’s heart softened immediately.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As Tom healed, the brothers worked together to complete the camping trip.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Noticing his brother in such a situation, Jack’s heart softened immediately. Forgetting their previous disputes, he rushed to Tom’s side, carefully lifting him up and supporting him as they made their way to the medical tent. Inside, Jack gently laid Tom down and helped him apply an ice pack to his injured ankle. Jack’s actions spoke louder than words, showing Tom that despite their differences, he cared deeply for his brother’s well-being. For the first time in a long while, Tom felt a warmth that transcended their disagreements.
As Tom healed, the brothers worked together to complete the camping trip. They shared responsibilities more evenly, finding joy in tasks they once viewed as burdensome. Jack took charge of navigating through the forest trails while Tom, despite his injury, offered encouragement and moral support. As the days went by, their bond grew stronger, and they realized that despite their contrasting interests, they could still find common ground. By the end of the trip, the gap that once seemed impossible to bridge had narrowed significantly, replaced by a deeper understanding and appreciation for each other.
