Author Walter Dean Myers died at the age of 76 after a brief illness. Walter Dean Myers was the author of more than100 books for children and young adults and received many top awards. The prolific author was loved for his vivid description of the lives of African American children, and for writing books for young people that covered different subjects. “Myers has written about all those subjects with deep understanding and a hard-won, qualified sense of hope, ” said Leonard S. Marcus in 2008. He was born in 1937 and was adopted by Florence Dean and Herbert after his mother died while giving birth to his younger sister. They loved him very much and his mother read to him from a very young age. Reading pushed him to discover worlds beyond his landscape. He began writing at an early age. He wrote well in high school and an English teacher recognized this and advised him to keep on writing no matter what happened to him. “It’s what you do, ” she said. He dropped out of high school at 17and joined the army. After finishing his service, he entered a dark period in his life. Myers began writing at night to pull himself through that miserable time. In an essay published in The New York Times earlier this year, Myers described how a short story by James Arthur Baldwin helped change the course of his life. “I didn’t love the story, but I was lifted by it, ” he wrote, “for it took place in Harlem, and it was a story concerned with black people like those I knew. By humanizing the people who were like me, Baldwin’s story also humanized me. The story gave me a permission that I didn’t know I needed, the permission to write about my own landscape, my own map. ” “I write books for the troubled boy I once was, ” he wrote, “and for the boy who lives within me still. ” 1.

What does the underlined word “prolific” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Productive. B. Unfortunate. C. Conservative. D. Humorous. 3. Who discovered Myers’ writing talent? A. James Arthur Baldwin.

It inspired him to pursue his writing career. C. He learned many writing techniques from it. D. The author of the story permitted him to write. One of the hardest things about learning anything is figuring out how to practice. Or even what it means to practice. Repetition is often key. But you don’t want something that sucks all the joy out. I’ve been teaching myself to draw for a few years. I had improved a lot but for a long while was going nowhere. I’d tried lots of books and courses and filled endless pages with boxes, parallel lines and figures. But something clicked when I started sketchbooking (速描) this year. The sketchbooks led to a shift in mindset. Rather than trying to practice, I was engaging in a practice – scribbling (乱涂乱画). Whiling away the hours with the books became something in its own right rather than a means to an end. I started carrying sketchbooks everywhere. The simple act of capturing scenes and moments in my sketchbook became an essential part of my experiences. The books also became a way for me to work through stuff, such as when my wife had a health scare and was in the hospital for a weekend. As we waited endlessly to find out what was happening, it was a safe space where I could just be. I spoke to Danny Gregory, a writer who blogs and makes videos about sketchbooking, to try to figure out why I had become so taken by my new practice. “We think about practice in drawing like practice in piano, where you have to do things like playing scales (音阶) and completing exercises,” Gregory said. “I’ve always hated that. It feels really academic. It’s not expressive.” I have since filled two sketchbooks solely with portraits, not as studies for future work, but as individual expressions. Similarly, Gregory recounted how he filled a sketchbook with drawings of his morning tea cup, emphasizing the value of repetitive, focused practice. My latest sketchbook will tackle the biggest challenge of all my drawings – hands. I’ve always had problems drawing hands. It’s early days, but I’m not fearing it as I did before because drawing a bunch of hands isn’t just practice anymore; it’s the practice of practice. 5. What was the author’s main challenge in learning to draw initially? A. Maintaining interest in drawing over time. B. Finding the right books and courses on drawing. C. Mastering portrait drawing techniques. D. Making continued progress through constant practice. 6. What did sketchbooking provide the author during his wife’s health crisis? A. A comforting outlet. B. A distraction from his pain. C. A means of communication. D. A way to document solutions. 7. How does sketchbooking differ from traditional drawing practice, according to Danny Gregory? A. It is more academic in nature. B. It involves studying specific techniques. C. It’s an active engagement with personal ideas. D. It’s an essential step for creating future paintings. 8. What is the author’s current attitude toward drawing hands? A. Worried. B. Bored. C. Curious. D. Enthusiastic. Where did we get this?” my wife asks me when she comes across a new-to-her item in our household. She already knows the answer: Either I bought it at a yard sale, or I found it on the street. Let’s say “rescued”, actually. Rescued it from the street. Items in that category include: the desk chair I'm sitting in, a much better potato masher than the one I broke, an ax with an intact (完好无损的) handle (unlike mine), silverware I keep in the car so we don’t use plastic stuff when we eat at the fish place, a banjo, and a didgeridoo. It is difficult to shame me about this. I feel both a moral and a financial impulse. Why should something go to a landfill if I have a use for it? Why should I pay top dollar for something if I can get one that's as good at low or no cost? I paid cash for a toy aircraft carrier. It was the most plastic I'd ever seen in one place: about 1.5 meters long,1 meter wide, and 0.76 meters tall. It was in pieces when I bought it. Our three boys were young then, and money was tight. I felt I could restore it to its epic glory. Sadly, I couldn’t find the parts. The boys quickly outgrew it, and I moved it along. It felt right to sell it for what I'd paid: four bucks. I spotted a rug (地毯) immediately at a yard sale. It looked new, and I didn’t have to talk myself into admiring the pattern. Twenty bucks. I couldn’t get the money out of my wallet fast enough. Not until I got it home and inside did I realize why the rug had been so inexpensive and yet still available. What was that smell? It was not a pet’s smell, but a chemical odor. I went online, and found that the glue used to attach the fibers to the backing was off-gassing VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and would do so far into the indeterminate future. I threw it out. Reusing is noble and economical. But if you decide to join me in this campaign remember: Wake up and smell the carpet. 9. What lifestyle does the author like? A. Simple. B. Healthy. C. Sustainable. D. Independent. 10. As for the aircraft carrier, what is the author optimistic about? A. Recycling the most plastic from it. B. Returning it to its former grand state. C. Helping his boys complete the restoration. D. Making more money from the finished piece. 11. Why does the author tell the story of the rug? A. To ensure the practice of reusing. B. To stress the reward of reusing items. C. To highlight the caution in reusing items. D. To emphasize the importance of the web. 12. What might be the best title for the text? A. Why I reuse trash B. Where I recycle trash C. How I deal with waste D. What I learn from garbage Katie DeWitt, a high school junior in Spokane, Washington, has been flying planes since she was 14 — years before she could drive a car. Her first flight was terrifying: “I was kind of freaking out,” she says, but once in the air, she loved the view. Katie is part of the Air-Force Junior ROTC program, which partners with Northwest Flight Service to teach teens to fly. Evie Nesselrode, a senior at another school, joined the program at 16. Though they attend different schools, Katie and Evie study physics, aircraft mechanics, and math together in flight school. “Flying uses precalculus and algebra (预科微积分和代数),” says Evie. “It makes my brain stronger.” Pilots need math daily: Addition & subtraction to calculate a plane’s weight (too heavy is unsafe for takeoff); Algebra to find flight time based on speed; Geometry to judge runway turns and takeoff angles (a too-steep angle can hit the plane’s tail). Students practice in the classroom and in the air, always with an adult copilot until they log 30 flight hours. Evie, now dizzy-free, plans to join the Air Force through New Mexico Institute. Katie also aims for a flying career. “Not many people get this opportunity,” she says. “I have big goals, and I’ll work hard for them.” This program shows how math connects to real-life adventures — and how teens can chase bold dreams with training and determination. 13. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “freaking out” in paragraph 1? A. Nervous. B. Excited. C. Calm. D. Disappointed. 14. What can be inferred from the passage about the math requirements for pilots? A. Geometry is the most important math branch for pilots during flight. B. Math skills are crucial and widely applied in various aspects of flying. C. Pilots only need basic arithmetic skills like addition and subtraction. D. Pilots can totally rely on modem technology instead of math knowledge. 15. Which of the following words can best describe the two teenagers? A. Kind-hearted. B. Ambitious. C. Pessimistic D. Generous. 16. What is the passage mainly about? A. The challenges of learning to fly planes at a young age. B. How two teenagers use math skills in their flight training. C. Teenagers pursuing flying dreams with math and determination. D. The importance of the Air Force Junior ROTC program to teenagers. For over twenty years, fried chicken had been my absolute favorite food. I would have it at least three times a week, whether it was from a fast- food joint, a local diner, or even homemade. I planned my outings around places that served delicious fried chicken. There were times when I tried to cut back on it, especially when I started to gain some weight, but I always ended up giving in to my cravings within a few days. This year, a series of events changed my relationship with fried chicken forever. I began experiencing frequent stomachaches and indigestion. Doctors couldn’t directly link these problems to fried chicken, but I noticed that every time I ate it, my discomfort worsened. Additionally, I started to realize that the once- mouthwatering smell and taste now left a heavy, greasy feeling in my mouth that I couldn’t ignore. One evening, after finishing a large bucket of fried chicken, I felt so sick that I couldn’t sleep well all night. That was the turning point. I decided that enough was enough, after two decades of indulgence. Why was it so hard to let go before? Is there really something addictive in fried chicken? While there’s no official “fried chicken addiction” listed in medical books, experts point out factors that could contribute to its allure. Dr. Johnson from a nutrition research center mentions two main elements: the high-fat content and the combination of spices. The high-fat content triggers the release of endorphins in the brain, making us feel good, while the unique blend of spices stimulates our taste buds, making us want more. Now, I’m on Day 35 of my “fried-chicken-free” journey. The first week was tough. I had strong cravings and even felt a bit down at times, almost like going through a mild withdrawal. But as the days passed, I started to feel better. My stomach problems became less frequent, and I even noticed that I had more energy. I’m really proud of myself for breaking this long-standing habit. If I can overcome my love for fried chicken, I believe I can overcome any other challenging habit in my life. 17. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A. Fried chicken was only a casual part of the author’s diet. B. The author never worried about the health risks of eating fried chicken. C. The author had a deep and long-lasting love for fried chicken. D. The author successfully reduced the intake of fried chicken several times. 18. What led the author to give up fried chicken? A. A doctor’s strict order. B. Health problems and an unpleasant feeling after eating. C. A newfound dislike for the smell of chicken. D. A friend’s advice on a healthier diet. 19. What does the underlined word “allure” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A harm B. cost C. waste D. attraction 20. How does the author feel about giving up fried chicken? A. Regretful B. Confused C. Satisfied D. Uncertain. Sun Simiao, the author of the earliest encyclopedia for traditional Chinese medicine, has been worshiped across the country as the King of Medicine ever since his time in the early Tang Dynasty. Sun was born in Shaanxi Province in northwestern China, where many locals frequently contracted unusual illnesses at that time. Even Sun’s father was suffering from night blindness and his mother had serious thick-neck symptoms. So, the boy studied very hard and was determined to become a doctor once he grew up to help treat his parents, relatives and neighbors in his home village. In addition to various Chinese classics, the young Sun dug deep into every medical treatise that he could have access to. He also traveled to various places to collect folk and family recipes and study the medical effects of thousands of herbs. He was particularly interested in identification and preparation of herbs(草药). Sun began his medical practice at the age of 18. After he gained a great reputation as a medical specialist, Sun began to write a 30-volume medical work called Qianjin Yaofang or Essential Prescriptions(药方)Worth a Thousand Gold. In ancient China, there was a saying that “A life is worth a thousand gold”. So, the title indicates that the more than 5,300 recipes contained in the book are life-saving prescriptions. And because of its comprehensive and well-researched contents, the book was regarded by later generations of Chinese herbal doctors as the first encyclopedia of traditional Chinese medicine. Sun was not only known for his remarkable ability in treating illnesses and saving lives but also his lofty morals and conduct. For instance, in one article Sun wrote, “When a great physician treats patients, he must maintain his inner serenity, pay no attention to personal desires or demands, and feel great sympathy for the patients. He should vow to save people from their sufferings, no matter they are rich or poor, old or young, friends or enemies.” 21. What made Sun Simiao decide to become a doctor? A. The encouragement from local villagers. B. The influence from various Chinese classics. C. His parents and villagers' suffering from illnesses. D. His traveling to various places across the country. 22. What did Sun Simiao pay special attention to while traveling? A. Reading Chinese classics. B. Treating unusual illnesses. C. Discovering herbal medicine. D. Collecting folk and family recipes. 23. What does the name Qianjin Yaofang suggest? A. The value of prescriptions. B. The importance of treatment. C. The effects of herbal medicine. D. The benefits of taking medicine. 24. What does the last paragraph stress about Sun Simiao? A. His excellent medical skills. B. His treating all patients equally. C. His great achievements in medicine. D. His devotion to poor people. I am a student at Camarines Norte Senior High School. Being a senior high school student has been a wonderful experience for me, and I feel lucky to have this opportunity to share my experience and journey as a senior high school student. ____25____ It was scary at first but eventually fun and exciting. On the first day of school, I feel nervous because I have to meet new classmates, new teachers, and make new friends. But I am excited to start a new chapter in my life. Senior high school includes the last two years of high school, which are Grades 11 and 12. The goal is to help students gain skills that will make them ready for jobs after graduation and prepare them for college. The stresses we face. Adults often say that teenagers don’t understand stress and that we should just wait until we grow up. However, we do feel stressed in our own way. ____26____ And some teachers give us too many assignments to finish in a short time. The challenges we experience. Being a senior high school student has been tough and stressful for me. One of my main struggles us managing my time. I sometimes focus too much on social media instead of my schoolwork, which makes me feel overwhelmed. The people who support us. Being a senior high school student is not easy. We ha have to face the stresses and challenges. ____27____ Our family, teachers, classmates, and friends motivate and inspire us to reach our goals. Remember, school is not just about gaining knowledge; it’s also about the experiences, values, and wonderful moments we will create and treasure forever. ____28____ It brings me joy and happiness. I have learned a lot and have come to understand myself better, including my strengths and weaknesses. There have been difficulties, but they have helped me grow as a person. I will always be grateful for this experience. ____29____ A. And I will cherish it forever. B. For example, we worry about our grades. C. This is a boring and uninspiring experience. D. We may find ourselves isolated or unsupported. E. Luckily, we have people who will help us. F. My experience has been like a roller coaster ride. G. In short this has been one of my most memorable experiences. I hated writing growing up. But I couldn’t avoid it: learning English was a must in high school. For hours, I stared at blank pages, trying to turn my disorganized thoughts into fluent sentences. I tried my best but my teachers would return my papers littered with red. I was upset to no end. ____30____. And that was OK. I didn’t have to do well in everything. ____31____. I liked it because objective truth could be found if I searched properly. In college, I joined a research lab to enhance conductor efficiency, and after a year of hard work, we developed a design that halved energy losses. However, the joy was short-lived as I had to write a research paper about our findings. I knew that if I wanted to become an academic, I would need to spend time writing papers. But with my awful track record with writing, I was scared of failing. In a panic, I asked a graduate student in my lab for help. We defined a goal for the paper, and I carefully wrote an outline. But when I asked him for feedback, I soon found the paper covered in red marks. ____32____. Before I could give up in defeat, though, the graduate student explained those red marks didn’t mean I was a bad writer. ____33____. It requires revising your work, often several times. I kept improving the outline of my paper, eventually turning it into sentences and paragraphs. My initial draft wasn’t perfect. I had buried a few key takeaways, and the introduction was missing important context. But with help, I finally made it. From then on, writing became one of my favorite parts of research. ____34____, but I changed my view. All it took was some trial and error. A. “Not again,” I screamed inside B. I should view it in a positive way C. Maybe I wasn’t good at writing D. Writing isn’t a one-and-done thing E. I soon realized writing was my strength F. I switched to the world of math and science G. I had never imagined it in my wildest dreams Can you get through seven days without looking at a digital device? I have tried a digital detox (脱瘾) and here’s what has happened. It’s well-documented: Our screens are prisons that destroy our attention span, and weaken our mental health, increasing our carbon footprint. ____35____ I’ve decided to try to live like it’s 1996, and go back to my pre-Internet life, with a one-week digital detox — no computers or cellphones.____36____ To start with, I need to explain the concept to my friends and family so they’re not wondering why I’ve suddenly fallen off the map. I set up an out-of-office reply: “____37____ If this is an emergency, call my landline.” ____38____ I borrow my eight-year-old son’s watch (to be honest, the last time I wore a watch, it was the 20th century), write down the entire week’s appointments and map out routes. When all that is done, I find my long-abandoned landline phone and plug it in. My digital detox hasn’t even begun and I’m already aware of the fact that I underestimated my screen dependency. I feel nervous. ____39____ However, now, on the edge of the abyss (深渊), I’m seized by complete anxiety. I type the final words on my phone, which I’ll put in the drawer. I’ll shut the drawer and tape it closed. Once it’s taped, there will be no turning back. Actually, on the next morning as soon as I wake up, I reach toward the taped bedside table. Clearly, I still have a long way to go... A. But can we free ourselves? B. The rules are meant to be observed strictly. C. I won’t have access to email until Sunday. D. I anticipated the challenge as a relaxing break. E. What drives us to feverishly check our email inboxes? F. But before the big shut-off, I need to do a little preparation. G. Then I note down a few useful phone numbers in a notebook. I was always shy. As a new student in the school, I spent most days staring at my desk, which made it surprising that I chatted to someone around me one day. ____40____ That would take all night! After I got home, I took my time petting the cat, postponing the pain. When I finally sat down to write the five-page essay, I began with the reasons Ms. Black would want to hear. First of all, talking in class would keep me and my neighbors from learning. I wrote wildly and one paragraph down. ____41____ What if talking were the first step towards life as a bad person? I started picturing my future as a failed bank robber. Without the education I was throwing away, I’d turn to a criminal and go to prison! When I got out, people would point fingers at me and say, “She used to talk in class.” ____42____ But when mum got home from work, I was still roaring, “Five pages! That’s impossible!” “Well, you’d better get back to work,” she said, “and I want to read it when you’re through.” Shortly after dinner, the essay packed with my complaints was handed to mum. ____43____ Instead, mum laughed so hard that she had to wipe her eyes, “Oh, this is going to be memorable. ” The next day, as Ms. Black read my essay aloud, the class erupted into laughter. ____44____ The essay didn’t cure my shyness overnight, but I did learn I wasn’t shy in print. My face burned, but for the first time, it wasn’t from shame; it was pride. A. I couldn’t help feeling awkward. B. And then I chewed on my pencil. C. Gradually the pages began flying by. D. I expected a lecture on my behavior in class. E. The fact was that I had the power to tell a funny story. F. I was wondering if I could write an essay about “Overcoming shyness”. G. Now I was paying the price by writing an essay on “Why I Should Not Talk in Class”. By my early 40s, I had tried every hobby meant to ease the transition (过渡) into middle age: learning a new language, an abandoned project, and even yoga. ____45____ So, in a moment of low-grade desperation, I decided to try ballet. “But you’re not very flexible,” my husband gently reminded me. He wasn’t wrong. My history with physical activities — badminton, cycling, swimming — hadn’t exactly been promising. ____46____ Before my first class at the National Ballet School in Toronto, I grabbed a headband from my drawer. I was clearly aware that I was going to stand in front of a mirror with all my postural (体态的) problems on display. ____47____ I didn’t expect much from the class, but to my surprise, the things that had driven me away as a 10-year-old now brought me joy: the repetitive exercises, the physical effort, and the teacher’s critical eye. Though I expected my legs to ache, what I didn’t expect was how my teacher’s command to “take up more space” would change my way of being in the world. ____48____ As a writer, this felt like the best advice I’d ever received. ____49____ At 50, I’m a ballerina — not the kind you’d see on stage, but someone who moves and breathes with purpose, marveling (惊叹于) at my body’s possibilities, imperfections and all. A. Nothing seemed to stick. B. Then I might as well do it in style. C. I had expected my classes to be physically demanding. D. Now, I’m what you might call a lifelong advanced beginner. E. I quickly realised ballet required more discipline than I had. F. But I determined to prove my body could still move with elegance. G. Ballet, he reminded me, isn’t about perfection, but working towards it. I first became interested in the Rubik’s Cube (魔方) when I was 13 because I wanted to use it in my magic trick routine. I soon realized that if I really made an effort. I could solve the cube. I started watching videos that explained the algorithms (算法). I watched them every day and I became fascinated. ____50____ In 2019, Rubik’s Cube hired me as a brand ambassador (大使), and I began making video content for them. Every job I’ve ever had has been in some way related to the skills I’ve acquired through cubing. ____51____ It has also shown me that success is often the result of messing up. As well as working as a brand ambassador, I do Guinness World Records to get recognition for the cube. For the Guinness World Record at the London Marathon in 2024, Rubik’s sent me 600 cubes, which my friends scrambled (打乱). The cubes were then put into bags. During the race, I had two bags on my front: one for the scrambled cubes and the other for the solved cubes. ____52____ I had people waiting at checkpoints every two miles to exchange bags with me and give me 50 scrambled cubes in return for the 50 I had solved. This meant I was carrying ten kilos of cubes with me for the entire race. ____53____ In this way, everything was documented and then confirmed by Guinness World Records to make it official. ____54____ We’re not competing against each other, but against ourselves. In 2024, I beat my quickest solving time of 3.31 seconds, reducing it to 3.25 seconds. It was a great feeling! I believe anyone can solve the cube — it’s just a question of hard work and putting in the time. A. It has taught me hard work and problem-solving. B. I managed to solve 520 cubes while I was running. C. About a year later, I won my first UK champion title. D. I also had a camera on my head to film myself solving. E. To keep my mind sharp, I ran 100 kilometres per week. F. The thing I like most about cubing is the inclusive community. G. This is necessary, as I regularly travel to competitions around the world.

I felt desperate and my ambition was ___59___ by a diagnosis of incurable nerve deafness. What a depressing matter it was! However, my bravery persuaded me to ___60___ my plans and I went on to study at the Royal Northern College of Music.

Walter Dean Myers was the author of more than100 books for children and young adults and received many top awards. The prolific author was loved for his vivid description of the lives of African American children, and for writing books for young people that covered different subjects. “Myers has written about all those subjects with deep understanding and a hard-won, qualified sense of hope, ” said Leonard S. Marcus in 2008. He was born in 1937 and was adopted by Florence Dean and Herbert after his mother died while giving birth to his younger sister. They loved him very much and his mother read to him from a very young age. Reading pushed him to discover worlds beyond his landscape. He began writing at an early age. He wrote well in high school and an English teacher recognized this and advised him to keep on writing no matter what happened to him. “It’s what you do, ” she said. He dropped out of high school at 17and joined the army. After finishing his service, he entered a dark period in his life. Myers began writing at night to pull himself through that miserable time. In an essay published in The New York Times earlier this year, Myers described how a short story by James Arthur Baldwin helped change the course of his life. “I didn’t love the story, but I was lifted by it, ” he wrote, “for it took place in Harlem, and it was a story concerned with black people like those I knew. By humanizing the people who were like me, Baldwin’s story also humanized me. The story gave me a permission that I didn’t know I needed, the permission to write about my own landscape, my own map. ” “I write books for the troubled boy I once was, ” he wrote, “and for the boy who lives within me still. ” 1. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about? A. How popular Myers was. B. How Myers became successful. C. What makes Myers’ works popular. D. What people think of Myers’ works. 2. What does the underlined word “prolific” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Productive. B. Unfortunate. C. Conservative. D. Humorous. 3. Who discovered Myers’ writing talent? A. James Arthur Baldwin. B. His mother. C. Leonard S. Marcus. D. One of his teachers. 4. Why was the short story by James Arthur Baldwin so important for Myers? A. It helped him survive the dark period. B. It inspired him to pursue his writing career. C. He learned many writing techniques from it. D. The author of the story permitted him to write. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. D 4. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了美国著名作家沃尔特·迪恩·迈尔斯，76 岁病逝，著有百多部青少年书籍并获多项大奖，其作品因描绘非裔儿童生活等受喜爱，文中还提及他的生平与写作历程。 【1题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The prolific author was loved for his vivid description of the lives of African American children, and for writing books for young people that covered different subjects. “Myers has written about all those subjects with deep understanding and a hard-won, qualified sense of hope, ” said Leonard S. Marcus in 2008.(这位多产的作家因其对非裔美国儿童生活的生动描述以及为年轻人撰写的涵盖不同主题的书籍而受到喜爱。“迈尔斯对所有这些主题都有着深刻的理解和来之不易的、有条件的希望感，”伦纳德·S·马库斯在2008年说。)”可知，第二段主要讲的是迈尔斯作品受欢迎的原因。故选C项。 【2题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段中“Walter Dean Myers was the author of more than100 books for children and young adults and received many top awards.(沃尔特·迪恩·迈尔斯为儿童和青少年写了100多本书籍，并获得了许多顶级奖项。)”可知他写了100多本书，由此可推测“prolific”表示多产的。A选项“Productive”有 “多产的；富有成效的”意思，符合语境。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“He wrote well in high school and an English teacher recognized this and advised him to keep on writing no matter what happened to him.(他在高中时写得很好，一位英语老师发现了这一点，并建议他无论发生什么事都要坚持写作。)”可知，是他的一位英语老师发现了他的写作天赋。故选D项。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Myers described how a short story by James Arthur Baldwin helped change the course of his life. “I didn’t love the story, but I was lifted by it, ” he wrote, “for it took place in Harlem, and it was a story concerned with black people like those I knew. By humanizing the people who were like me, Baldwin’s story also humanized me. The story gave me a permission that I didn’t know I needed, the permission to write about my own landscape, my own map. ”(迈尔斯描述了詹姆斯·亚瑟·鲍德温的一篇短篇小说是如何改变了他的人生轨迹的。“我不喜欢这个故事，但我被它感动了，”他写道，“因为它发生在哈莱姆区，它是一个关于我认识的那些黑人的故事。鲍德温的故事让像我一样的人变得人性化，也让我变得人性化。这个故事给了我一种我不知道自己需要的许可，一种写我自己的风景、我自己的地图的许可。”)”可推知，这篇短篇小说改变了迈尔斯的人生轨迹，给了迈尔斯写自己熟悉内容的许可，也就是激发了他追求他的写作生涯。故选B项。 One of the hardest things about learning anything is figuring out how to practice. Or even what it means to practice. Repetition is often key. But you don’t want something that sucks all the joy out. I’ve been teaching myself to draw for a few years. I had improved a lot but for a long while was going nowhere. I’d tried lots of books and courses and filled endless pages with boxes, parallel lines and figures. But something clicked when I started sketchbooking (速描) this year. The sketchbooks led to a shift in mindset. Rather than trying to practice, I was engaging in a practice – scribbling (乱涂乱画). Whiling away the hours with the books became something in its own right rather than a means to an end. I started carrying sketchbooks everywhere. The simple act of capturing scenes and moments in my sketchbook became an essential part of my experiences. The books also became a way for me to work through stuff, such as when my wife had a health scare and was in the hospital for a weekend. As we waited endlessly to find out what was happening, it was a safe space where I could just be. I spoke to Danny Gregory, a writer who blogs and makes videos about sketchbooking, to try to figure out why I had become so taken by my new practice. “We think about practice in drawing like practice in piano, where you have to do things like playing scales (音阶) and completing exercises,” Gregory said. “I’ve always hated that. It feels really academic. It’s not expressive.” I have since filled two sketchbooks solely with portraits, not as studies for future work, but as individual expressions. Similarly, Gregory recounted how he filled a sketchbook with drawings of his morning tea cup, emphasizing the value of repetitive, focused practice. My latest sketchbook will tackle the biggest challenge of all my drawings – hands. I’ve always had problems drawing hands. It’s early days, but I’m not fearing it as I did before because drawing a bunch of hands isn’t just practice anymore; it’s the practice of practice. 5. What was the author’s main challenge in learning to draw initially? A. Maintaining interest in drawing over time. B. Finding the right books and courses on drawing. C. Mastering portrait drawing techniques. D. Making continued progress through constant practice. 6. What did sketchbooking provide the author during his wife’s health crisis? A. A comforting outlet. B. A distraction from his pain. C. A means of communication. D. A way to document solutions. 7. How does sketchbooking differ from traditional drawing practice, according to Danny Gregory? A. It is more academic in nature. B. It involves studying specific techniques. C. It’s an active engagement with personal ideas. D. It’s an essential step for creating future paintings. 8. What is the author’s current attitude toward drawing hands? A. Worried. B. Bored. C. Curious. D. Enthusiastic. 【答案】5. D 6. A 7. C 8. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者自学绘画的经历，从最初在练习中难以取得进步，到通过速写找到新的练习方式，转变了对绘画练习的心态，并阐述了速写带来的改变和意义。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I had improved a lot but for a long while was going nowhere. I’d tried lots of books and courses and filled endless pages with boxes, parallel lines and figures. (我已经进步了很多，但有很长一段时间毫无进展。我尝试了很多书籍和课程，在无数页纸上画满了盒子、平行线和人物)”可知，作者最初在学习绘画时，虽然尝试了多种方法进行练习，但很长时间内没有持续的进步，这是他面临的主要挑战。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The books also became a way for me to work through stuff, such as when my wife had a health scare and was in the hospital for a weekend. As we waited endlessly to find out what was happening, it was a safe space where I could just be. (速写本也成了我处理事情的一种方式，比如当我妻子健康出现问题，在医院待了一个周末的时候。当我们无休止地等待事情的结果时，速写本成了一个我可以安心待着的安全空间)”可知，在妻子健康出现危机时，速写本为作者提供了一个令人安慰的宣泄途径。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“ “I’ve always hated that. It feels really academic. It’s not expressive.” (“我一直很讨厌那样。这感觉太学术化了，没有表现力。”)”以及第七段“I have since filled two sketchbooks solely with portraits, not as studies for future work, but as individual expressions. (从那以后，我在两本速写本上只画了肖像，不是为了将来的工作，而是作为个人的表达。)”可知，丹妮・格雷戈里认为速写与传统绘画练习的不同之处在于，速写是对个人想法的积极表达。故选C项。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s early days, but I’m not fearing it as I did before because drawing a bunch of hands isn’t just practice anymore; it’s the practice of practice. (现在还为时过早，但我不再像以前那样害怕了，因为画一堆手不再只是练习，而是对练习本身的实践)”可知，作者现在不再害怕画手，而是将其视为一种练习的实践，由此可推断出他当前对画手的态度是充满热情的。故选D项。 Where did we get this?” my wife asks me when she comes across a new-to-her item in our household. She already knows the answer: Either I bought it at a yard sale, or I found it on the street. Let’s say “rescued”, actually. Rescued it from the street. Items in that category include: the desk chair I'm sitting in, a much better potato masher than the one I broke, an ax with an intact (完好无损的) handle (unlike mine), silverware I keep in the car so we don’t use plastic stuff when we eat at the fish place, a banjo, and a didgeridoo. It is difficult to shame me about this. I feel both a moral and a financial impulse. Why should something go to a landfill if I have a use for it? Why should I pay top dollar for something if I can get one that's as good at low or no cost? I paid cash for a toy aircraft carrier. It was the most plastic I'd ever seen in one place: about 1.5 meters long,1 meter wide, and 0.76 meters tall. It was in pieces when I bought it. Our three boys were young then, and money was tight. I felt I could restore it to its epic glory. Sadly, I couldn’t find the parts. The boys quickly outgrew it, and I moved it along. It felt right to sell it for what I'd paid: four bucks. I spotted a rug (地毯) immediately at a yard sale. It looked new, and I didn’t have to talk myself into admiring the pattern. Twenty bucks. I couldn’t get the money out of my wallet fast enough. Not until I got it home and inside did I realize why the rug had been so inexpensive and yet still available. What was that smell? It was not a pet’s smell, but a chemical odor. I went online, and found that the glue used to attach the fibers to the backing was off-gassing VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and would do so far into the indeterminate future. I threw it out. Reusing is noble and economical. But if you decide to join me in this campaign, remember: Wake up and smell the carpet. 9. What lifestyle does the author like? A. Simple. B. Healthy. C. Sustainable. D. Independent. 10. As for the aircraft carrier, what is the author optimistic about? A. Recycling the most plastic from it. B. Returning it to its former grand state. C. Helping his boys complete the restoration. D. Making more money from the finished piece. 11. Why does the author tell the story of the rug? A. To ensure the practice of reusing. B. To stress the reward of reusing items. C. To highlight the caution in reusing items. D. To emphasize the importance of the web. 12. What might be the best title for the text? A. Why I reuse trash B. Where I recycle trash C. How I deal with waste D. What I learn from garbage 【答案】9. C 10. B 11. C 12. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要介绍了作者对于二手物品和街头弃物的回收利用的个人经历和看法。通过幽默和自省的笔触，传达了关于负责任地回收利用的深刻信息。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Why should something go to a landfill if I have a use for it? Why should I pay top dollar for something if I can get one that’s as good at low or no cost?(如果我能用得上某样东西，它为什么要被送到垃圾填埋场呢？如果我能以低价或免费得到一样同样好的东西，为什么要花高价去买呢？)”可知，作者喜欢重复利用物品，避免浪费，这种生活方式具有可持续性。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“I felt I could restore it to its epic glory.(我觉得我能把它恢复到史诗般的辉煌。)”可知，对于玩具航空母舰，作者乐观地认为自己能将其恢复到以前的壮观状态。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“Not until I got it home and inside did I realize why the rug had been so inexpensive and yet still available. What was that smell? It was not a pet’s smell, but a chemical odor. I went online, and found that the glue used to attach the fibers to the backing was off-gassing VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and would do so far into the indeterminate future. I threw it out.(直到我把它带回家，我才明白为什么地毯这么便宜，却还能买到。那是什么味道？这不是宠物的气味，而是一种化学气味。我上网查了一下，发现用来把纤维粘在椅背上的胶水会释放出挥发性有机化合物（VOCs，挥发性有机化合物），而且这种情况还会持续到不确定的未来。我把它扔了。)”可知，作者买的地毯因胶水释放有害挥发性有机化合物而被丢弃，再结合最后一段“But if you decide to join me in this campaign, remember: Wake up and smell the carpet.(但如果你决定加入我的行动，记住：要警醒，留意地毯的问题。)”可知，作者讲述地毯的故事是为了强调重复利用物品时要谨慎。故选C项。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，作者围绕自己重复利用从旧货出售或街上“拯救”来的物品展开，解释了这样做的原因，也提及了其中的注意事项。第一段“Either I bought it at a yard sale, or I found it on the street. Let’s say “rescued”, (要么是我在庭院旧货出售中买的，要么是在街上捡到的。让我们说“获救”，)”以及第三段说明了作者重复利用物品的原因，因此A项Why I reuse trash(我为什么重复利用废弃物) 最能概括文章主旨，适合用作标题。故选A项。 Katie DeWitt, a high school junior in Spokane, Washington, has been flying planes since she was 14 — years before she could drive a car. Her first flight was terrifying: “I was kind of freaking out,” she says, but once in the air, she loved the view. Katie is part of the Air-Force Junior ROTC program, which partners with Northwest Flight Service to teach teens to fly. Evie Nesselrode, a senior at another school, joined the program at 16. Though they attend different schools, Katie and Evie study physics, aircraft mechanics, and math together in flight school. “Flying uses precalculus and algebra (预科微积分和代数),” says Evie. “It makes my brain stronger.” Pilots need math daily: Addition & subtraction to calculate a plane’s weight (too heavy is unsafe for takeoff); Algebra to find flight time based on speed; Geometry to judge runway turns and takeoff angles (a too-steep angle can hit the plane’s tail). Students practice in the classroom and in the air, always with an adult copilot until they log 30 flight hours. Evie, now dizzy-free, plans to join the Air Force through New Mexico Institute. Katie also aims for a flying career. “Not many people get this opportunity,” she says. “I have big goals, and I’ll work hard for them.” This program shows how math connects to real-life adventures — and how teens can chase bold dreams with training and determination. 13. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “freaking out” in paragraph 1? A. Nervous. B. Excited. C. Calm. D. Disappointed. 14. What can be inferred from the passage about the math requirements for pilots? A. Geometry is the most important math branch for pilots during flight. B. Math skills are crucial and widely applied in various aspects of flying. C. Pilots only need basic arithmetic skills like addition and subtraction. D. Pilots can totally rely on modem technology instead of math knowledge. 15. Which of the following words can best describe the two teenagers? A. Kind-hearted. B. Ambitious. C. Pessimistic D. Generous. 16. What is the passage mainly about? A. The challenges of learning to fly planes at a young age. B. How two teenagers use math skills in their flight training. C. Teenagers pursuing flying dreams with math and determination. D. The importance of the Air Force Junior ROTC program to teenagers. 【答案】13. A 14. B 15. B 16. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了两位青少年Katie和Evie通过空军青少年预备军官训练团项目学习飞行，并展示了数学在飞行训练中的广泛应用以及她们对飞行梦想的追求。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Her first flight was terrifying: “I was kind of freaking out,” she says, but once in the air, she loved the view.(她的第一次飞行很可怕：“我有点freaking out，”她说，但一到空中，她就喜欢上了景色。)”中的“terrifying”以及“but once in the air, she loved the view.”可知，freaking out描述的是首次飞行时的害怕、紧张情绪，freaking out的意思是“紧张的”与选项A“Nervous.(紧张的)”意思相近。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Pilots need math daily: Addition & subtraction to calculate a plane’s weight (too heavy is unsafe for takeoff); Algebra to find flight time based on speed; Geometry to judge runway turns and takeoff angles (a too-steep angle can hit the plane’s tail).(飞行员每天都需要数学：加减法来计算飞机的重量（太重对起飞不安全）；代数用来根据速度计算飞行时间；几何学用来判断跑道转弯和起飞角度（角度太陡会撞到飞机尾部）。)”可知，数学技能在飞行的各个方面都至关重要且广泛应用。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Evie, now dizzy-free, plans to join the Air Force through New Mexico Institute. Katie also aims for a flying career.(Evie现在不再头晕，计划通过新墨西哥学院加入空军。凯蒂的目标也是从事飞行事业。)”以及“Katie also aims for a flying career. “Not many people get this opportunity,” she says. “I have big goals, and I’ll work hard for them.”(凯蒂的目标是成为一名飞行员。‘没有多少人能得到这样的机会，’她说。‘我有远大的目标，我会为之努力。’)”可知，这两位青少年都有远大的目标，即有雄心壮志。故选B。 【16题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“This program shows how math connects to real-life adventures — and how teens can chase bold dreams with training and determination.(这个项目展示了数学如何与现实生活中的冒险相联系，以及青少年如何通过训练和决心追逐大胆的梦想。)”可知，文章主要讲述了两位青少年Katie和Evie通过空军青少年预备军官训练团项目学习飞行，并展示了数学在飞行训练中的广泛应用以及她们对飞行梦想的追求。可知，C选项“Teenagers pursuing flying dreams with math and determination.(青少年用数学和决心追逐飞行梦想)”最符合文章主旨。故选C。 For over twenty years, fried chicken had been my absolute favorite food. I would have it at least three times a week, whether it was from a fast- food joint, a local diner, or even homemade. I planned my outings around places that served delicious fried chicken. There were times when I tried to cut back on it, especially when I started to gain some weight, but I always ended up giving in to my cravings within a few days. This year, a series of events changed my relationship with fried chicken forever. I began experiencing frequent stomachaches and indigestion. Doctors couldn’t directly link these problems to fried chicken, but I noticed that every time I ate it, my discomfort worsened. Additionally, I started to realize that the once- mouthwatering smell and taste now left a heavy, greasy feeling in my mouth that I couldn’t ignore. One evening, after finishing a large bucket of fried chicken, I felt so sick that I couldn’t sleep well all night. That was the turning point. I decided that enough was enough, after two decades of indulgence. Why was it so hard to let go before? Is there really something addictive in fried chicken? While there’s no official “fried chicken addiction” listed in medical books, experts point out factors that could contribute to its allure. Dr. Johnson from a nutrition research center mentions two main elements: the high-fat content and the combination of spices. The high-fat content triggers the release of endorphins in the brain, making us feel good, while the unique blend of spices stimulates our taste buds, making us want more. Now, I’m on Day 35 of my “fried-chicken-free” journey. The first week was tough. I had strong cravings and even felt a bit down at times, almost like going through a mild withdrawal. But as the days passed, I started to feel better. My stomach problems became less frequent, and I even noticed that I had more energy. I’m really proud of myself for breaking this long-standing habit. If I can overcome my love for fried chicken, I believe I can overcome any other challenging habit in my life. 17. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A. Fried chicken was only a casual part of the author’s diet. B. The author never worried about the health risks of eating fried chicken. C. The author had a deep and long-lasting love for fried chicken. D. The author successfully reduced the intake of fried chicken several times. 18. What led the author to give up fried chicken? A. A doctor’s strict order. B. Health problems and an unpleasant feeling after eating. C. A newfound dislike for the smell of chicken. D. A friend’s advice on a healthier diet. 19. What does the underlined word “allure” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. harm B. cost C. waste D. attraction 20. How does the author feel about giving up fried chicken? A. Regretful B. Confused C. Satisfied D. Uncertain. 【答案】17. C 18. B 19. D 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者对炸鸡的长期喜爱及最终因健康问题放弃食用炸鸡的经历。 【17题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“For over twenty years, fried chicken had been my absolute favorite food. I would have it at least three times a week, whether it was from a fast- food joint, a local diner, or even homemade. I planned my outings around places that served delicious fried chicken. There were times when I tried to cut back on it, especially when I started to gain some weight, but I always ended up giving in to my cravings within a few days. (二十多年来，炸鸡一直是我最爱的食物。我每周至少要吃三次，无论是快餐连锁店的、当地小餐馆的，还是自家做的。我会围绕那些供应美味炸鸡的地方来规划外出活动。有好几次我都想少吃点，尤其是在我开始发胖之后，但总是不出几天就抵挡不住诱惑，又吃起了炸鸡。)”可知，作者二十多年来每周至少吃三次炸鸡，还会围绕有炸鸡的地方安排出行，虽尝试减少但总会放弃，由此可推断出作者对炸鸡有着深厚且长久的喜爱，炸鸡是其生活中重要的一部分。故选C项。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I began experiencing frequent stomachaches and indigestion. Doctors couldn’t directly link these problems to fried chicken, but I noticed that every time I ate it, my discomfort worsened. Additionally, I started to realize that the once- mouthwatering smell and taste now left a heavy, greasy feeling in my mouth that I couldn’t ignore. One evening, after finishing a large bucket of fried chicken, I felt so sick that I couldn’t sleep well all night. That was the turning point. (我开始频繁地胃痛和消化不良。医生无法将这些问题直接与炸鸡联系起来，但我注意到，每次吃了炸鸡后，身体的不适感就会加重。此外，我还渐渐发现，曾经让人垂涎欲滴的炸鸡香味和口感，如今会在嘴里留下一种浓重的油腻感，让我无法忽视。一天晚上，在吃完一大桶炸鸡后，我感到非常难受，整夜都没睡好。那就是转折点。)”可知，作者出现胃痛、消化不良等健康问题，且吃完炸鸡后会感觉不适，同时还觉得炸鸡口感变差，这些因素促使作者放弃炸鸡。故选B项。 【19题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Why was it so hard to let go before? Is there really something addictive in fried chicken? While there’s no official “fried chicken addiction” listed in medical books, experts point out factors that could contribute to its allure.(为什么以前那么难戒掉呢？炸鸡里真的有什么让人上瘾的东西吗？虽然医学书籍中没有正式的“炸鸡瘾”这一说法，但专家指出了可能使其具有allure的因素。)”可知，专家指出炸鸡中某些因素会导致人们对其产生吸引力，所以“allure”意思是“吸引力”，与“attraction”意思相近“allure”在这里指的是炸鸡的吸引力。故选D项。 【20题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I’m really proud of myself for breaking this long- standing habit. If I can overcome my love for fried chicken, I believe I can overcome any other challenging habit in my life.(我为自己打破了这个长期的习惯而感到自豪。如果我能克服对炸鸡的喜爱，我相信我能克服生活中任何其他具有挑战性的习惯。)”可知，作者对自己放弃炸鸡感到满意。故选C项。 Sun Simiao, the author of the earliest encyclopedia for traditional Chinese medicine, has been worshiped across the country as the King of Medicine ever since his time in the early Tang Dynasty. Sun was born in Shaanxi Province in northwestern China, where many locals frequently contracted unusual illnesses at that time. Even Sun’s father was suffering from night blindness and his mother had serious thick-neck symptoms. So, the boy studied very hard and was determined to become a doctor once he grew up to help treat his parents, relatives and neighbors in his home village. In addition to various Chinese classics, the young Sun dug deep into every medical treatise that he could have access to. He also traveled to various places to collect folk and family recipes and study the medical effects of thousands of herbs. He was particularly interested in identification and preparation of herbs(草药). Sun began his medical practice at the age of 18. After he gained a great reputation as a medical specialist, Sun began to write a 30-volume medical work called Qianjin Yaofang or Essential Prescriptions(药方)Worth a Thousand Gold. In ancient China, there was a saying that “A life is worth a thousand gold”. So, the title indicates that the more than 5,300 recipes contained in the book are life-saving prescriptions. And because of its comprehensive and well-researched contents, the book was regarded by later generations of Chinese herbal doctors as the first encyclopedia of traditional Chinese medicine. Sun was not only known for his remarkable ability in treating illnesses and saving lives but also his lofty morals and conduct. For instance, in one article Sun wrote, “When a great physician treats patients, he must maintain his inner serenity, pay no attention to personal desires or demands, and feel great sympathy for the patients. He should vow to save people from their sufferings, no matter they are rich or poor, old or young, friends or enemies.” 21. What made Sun Simiao decide to become a doctor? A. The encouragement from local villagers. B. The influence from various Chinese classics. C. His parents and villagers' suffering from illnesses. D. His traveling to various places across the country. 22. What did Sun Simiao pay special attention to while traveling? A. Reading Chinese classics. B. Treating unusual illnesses. C. Discovering herbal medicine. D. Collecting folk and family recipes. 23. What does the name Qianjin Yaofang suggest? A. The value of prescriptions. B. The importance of treatment. C. The effects of herbal medicine. D. The benefits of taking medicine. 24. What does the last paragraph stress about Sun Simiao? A. His excellent medical skills. B. His treating all patients equally. C. His great achievements in medicine. D. His devotion to poor people. 【答案】21. C 22. C 23. A 24. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章介绍了中国古代医学家孙思邈的生平事迹，包括他立志从医的原因、在医学上的探索与成就以及高尚的医德。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Even Sun’s father was suffering from night blindness and his mother had serious thick-neck symptoms. So, the boy studied very hard and was determined to become a doctor once he grew up to help treat his parents, relatives and neighbors in his home village(甚至孙思邈的父亲患有夜盲症，母亲有严重的粗脖子症状。所以，这个男孩学习非常努力，决心长大后成为一名医生，帮助治疗家乡的父母、亲戚和邻居)”可知，孙思邈决定成为医生是因为他的父母和村民遭受疾病的折磨。故选C项。 22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“He also traveled to various places to collect folk and family recipes and study the medical effects of thousands of herbs. He was particularly interested in identification and preparation of herbs(草药).(他还到各地收集民间和家庭药方，研究数千种草药的医疗功效。他对草药的鉴定和制备特别感兴趣)”可知，孙思邈在旅行时特别关注发现草药。故选C项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“In ancient China, there was a saying that ‘A life is worth a thousand gold’.

(我总是很害羞。作为学校的新学生，我大部分时间都盯着桌子看，有一天我和周围的人聊天，这很令人惊讶。)”以及下文“That would take all night! (那会花一整晚的时间！)”可知，作者因在课堂上与人交谈而需要完成一篇作文，G选项“I was wondering if I could write an essay about “Overcoming shyness”.

He wasn’t wrong. My history with physical activities — badminton, cycling, swimming — hadn’t exactly been promising. ____46____ Before my first class at the National Ballet School in Toronto, I grabbed a headband from my drawer. I was clearly aware that I was going to stand in front of a mirror with all my postural (体态的) problems on display. ____47____ I didn’t expect much from the class, but to my surprise, the things that had driven me away as a 10-year-old now brought me joy: the repetitive exercises, the physical effort, and the teacher’s critical eye. Though I expected my legs to ache, what I didn’t expect was how my teacher’s command to “take up more space” would change my way of being in the world. ____48____ As a writer, this felt like the best advice I’d ever received. ____49____ At 50, I’m a ballerina — not the kind you’d see on stage, but someone who moves and breathes with purpose, marveling (惊叹于) at my body’s possibilities, imperfections and all. A. Nothing seemed to stick. B. Then I might as well do it in style. C. I had expected my classes to be physically demanding. D. Now, I’m what you might call a lifelong advanced beginner. E. I quickly realised ballet required more discipline than I had. F. But I determined to prove my body could still move with elegance. G. Ballet, he reminded me, isn’t about perfection, but working towards it. 【答案】45. A 46. F 47. B 48. G 49. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者人到中年尝试多种爱好无果后，决定尝试芭蕾，虽不被丈夫看好，但上课后收获了快乐，50岁时成了终身的进阶初学者。 【45题详解】 上文“By my early 40s, I had tried every hobby meant to ease the transition (过渡) into middle age: learning a new language, an abandoned project, and even yoga. (到我40岁出头的时候，我尝试了每一种旨在缓解向中年过渡的爱好：学习一门新语言，一个半途而废的项目，甚至瑜伽。)”提到作者尝试了多种爱好。A选项“Nothing seemed to stick. (似乎没有一种爱好能坚持下来。)”承接上文，说明没有持续下去这一结果，与下文情绪“a moment of low-grade desperation”相照应，上下文语意连贯。故选A项。 【46题详解】 上文“He wasn’t wrong. My history with physical activities — badminton, cycling, swimming — hadn’t exactly been promising. (他说得没错。我在体育活动方面的经历——羽毛球、骑自行车、游泳——并不乐观。)”表明作者在体育活动方面表现不佳。F选项“But I determined to prove my body could still move with elegance.

(虽然我预料到我的腿会疼，但我没想到老师‘占据更多空间’的指令会改变我在这个世界上的生存方式。)”提到老师的指令有重要意义。G选项“Ballet, he reminded me, isn’t about perfection, but working towards it. (他提醒我，芭蕾不在于完美，而在于朝着完美努力。)”进一步解释了老师指令背后的意义，即芭蕾追求的是向完美努力，与上文逻辑相符。故选G项。 【49题详解】 下文“At 50, I’m a ballerina — not the kind you’d see on stage, but someone who moves and breathes with purpose, marveling (惊叹于) at my body’s possibilities, imperfections and all. (50岁时，我成了一名芭蕾舞演员——不是你在舞台上看到的那种，而是一个有目的地移动和呼吸，惊叹于自己身体的可能性、不完美以及一切的人。)”描述了作者50岁时作为芭蕾舞者的状态。D选项“Now, I’m what you might call a lifelong advanced beginner. (现在，我可以说是一个终身的进阶初学者。)”引出下文，表明自己虽然还在不断学习进步，但已经成为了这样一个特别的“芭蕾舞者”，上下文衔接自然。故选D项。 I first became interested in the Rubik’s Cube (魔方) when I was 13 because I wanted to use it in my magic trick routine.

I watched them every day and I became fascinated. ____50____ In 2019, Rubik’s Cube hired me as a brand ambassador (大使), and I began making video content for them. Every job I’ve ever had has been in some way related to the skills I’ve acquired through cubing. ____51____ It has also shown me that success is often the result of messing up. As well as working as a brand ambassador, I do Guinness World Records to get recognition for the cube. For the Guinness World Record at the London Marathon in 2024, Rubik’s sent me 600 cubes, which my friends scrambled (打乱). The cubes were then put into bags. During the race, I had two bags on my front: one for the scrambled cubes and the other for the solved cubes. ____52____ I had people waiting at checkpoints every two miles to exchange bags with me and give me 50 scrambled cubes in return for the 50 I had solved. This meant I was carrying ten kilos of cubes with me for the entire race. ____53____ In this way, everything was documented and then confirmed by Guinness World Records to make it official. ____54____ We’re not competing against each other, but against ourselves. In 2024, I beat my quickest solving time of 3.31 seconds, reducing it to 3.25 seconds. It was a great feeling!

F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者因魔术对魔方产生兴趣，后成品牌大使，还在马拉松中创纪录并分享感悟。 【50题详解】 上文“I first became interested in the Rubik’s Cube when I was 13 because I wanted to use it in my magic trick routine. I soon realized that if I really made an effort. I could solve the cube. I started watching videos that explained the algorithms (算法). I watched them every day and I became fascinated.(我13岁时第一次对魔方感兴趣，因为我想在魔术表演中使用它。我很快意识到，如果我真的努力，我就能解开魔方。我开始观看讲解算法的视频。我每天都看，我被迷住了)”说明作者对魔方产生了兴趣并开始学习相关算法。空处和前文为顺接关系，说明作者在魔方学习上的进一步成果。所以C项“大约一年后，我赢得了我的第一个英国冠军头衔”符合语境“About a year later”衔接时间线，“won my first UK champion title”为后续被品牌雇佣的铺垫。故选C。 【51题详解】 上文“Every job I’ve ever had has been in some way related to the skills I’ve acquired through cubing.(我所做的每一份工作都在某种程度上与我玩魔方所获得的技能有关)”说明作者的工作与玩魔方所获得的技能有关联。下文“It has also shown me that success is often the result of messing up.(这也让我明白，成功往往是失败的结果)” 通过also表并列，强调另一层启示。空处需与上下文构成并列关系，体现魔方带来的双重影响。所以A项“它教会了我努力工作和解决问题”符合语境，“taught me hard work and problem-solving”对应上文中的 “skills”，且与下文“also shown me”结构一致。故选A。 【52题详解】 上文“During the race, I had two bags on my front: one for the scrambled cubes and the other for the solved cubes.(在比赛过程中，我前面有两个包：一个装打乱的魔方，另一个装解开的魔方)”说明作者在比赛过程中带着两个包，分别装着打乱的魔方和解开的魔方。空处和前文为顺接关系，说明作者在比赛过程中对魔方的处理情况。所以B项“我在跑步时成功解开了520个魔方”符合语境，“solved 520 cubes”承接“the solved cubes”，并引出下文换袋的原因（需处理已复原的魔方）。故选B。 【53题详解】 上文“This meant I was carrying ten kilos of cubes with me for the entire race.(这意味着我在整个比赛过程中都带着十公斤的魔方)”说明作者在比赛过程中需要携带大量的魔方。下文“In this way, everything was documented and then confirmed by Guinness World Records to make it official.(通过这种方式，一切都被记录下来，然后被吉尼斯世界纪录确认为正式)”说明需记录过程以获吉尼斯认证。空处顺接前文，并和下文形成因果关系，说明作者为了记录这一过程所采取的措施。所以D项“我头上还装了一个摄像头来拍摄自己解魔方的过程”符合语境，进一步说明了作者为了记录比赛过程所做的准备。故选D。 【54题详解】 下文“We’re not competing against each other, but against ourselves.(我们不是在互相竞争，而是在与自己竞争)”说明玩魔方的人之间不是竞争关系，而是与自己竞争。空处为该段首句，应引出下文关于玩魔方的人之间关系的话题。所以F项“我最喜欢玩魔方的一点是它包容的群体”符合语境，“inclusive community”直接呼应下文“not competing against each other”，引出对社区氛围的阐述。故选F。 As a child I never worried about losing my hearing, even though many other members of my family had done so.
