【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Nudge App部分“Personal trainers and athletes guide the online audience to make lifestyle changes by adjusting the eating habits and weight training routines.(私人教练和运动员会引导在线观众调整饮食习惯和锻炼方式,从而实现生活方式的改变)”以及Lifesum App部分“This app is an integration of a diet plan, food profile, calorie counter, and healthy recipes.(这款应用程序集成了饮食计划、食物信息、卡路里计数以及健康食谱等功能)”可知,共同之处是它们都提供饮食指导。故选C。
【3题详解】

Martha Siede, who has lived with dystonic cerebral palsy (肌张力障碍型脑瘫) just since she was born, shares her powerful story in the book In Pursuit of “Normal”. As a disabled reader, I was delighted, relieved, and lit up with encouragement and connection while reading this book.
I especially appreciated the way Martha lays out our struggles frankly because of how frequently we encounter them. “The hospital is where you would think disabilities would be comfortable and accepted,” she writes, “but it does not work. It is like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.” Martha’s experiences reflected my own frustration there: narrow doorways and crowded spaces that were difficult for me to navigate.
Throughout each stage of her life, Martha excels in fair, inclusive environments and struggles greatly otherwise. My preferred adaptation explored in this book is that of clothing companies who advertise by using photos in which models are seated so that wheelchair users can picture how it will look on their bodies.
Martha makes a clear, easy-to-follow distinction between when she gets the kind of support that makes her life more equal, and when she does not. Recounting these hardships never feels like a lecture or a reframing of history. Instead, Martha has written something that feels honest and strikes a balance between serious health concerns and conversations where she’s direct about some tough topics. This tone is very true to my experience of living with depression and disability.
This book will guide not only disabled people but also their caregivers. A lot of valuable advice and life lessons can be learned from this book. Her candid account of struggles and achievements makes her story a source of inspiration for others, showing that anything is possible with a sense of humor and determination. It’s not just a tale of survival; it’s a testament (证明) to her strength and resolve.
4. Why does the author quote Martha’s words in paragraph 2?
A. To arouse readers’ care for the disabled.
B. To reveal the poor service of the hospital.
C. To explain the cause of Martha’s frustration.
D. To demonstrate one issue faced by the disabled.
5. What’s the author’s attitude towards using photos of seated models?
A. Ambiguous. B. Dismissive. C. Favorable. D. Indifferent.
6. What does the author think of In Pursuit of “Normal”?
A. It is boring but practical. B. It is classic and moving.
C. It is abstract but engaging. D. It is inspiring and influential.
7. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To teach life lessons. B. To provide inspiration for writers.
C. To recommend a book. D. To emphasize the power of humor.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇书评。主要围绕玛莎・西迪所著《追求“正常”》展开,讲述了作者(一位残障人士)阅读此书的感受和评价。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“‘The hospital is where you would think disabilities would be comfortable and accepted,’ she writes, ‘but it does not work. It is like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.’ Martha’s experiences reflected my own frustration there: narrow doorways and crowded spaces that were difficult for me to navigate. (“你会认为医院是残疾人会感到舒适和被接纳的地方,”她写道,“但事实并非如此。这就像试图把方榫头塞进圆榫眼一样。”玛莎的经历反映了我在那里的挫败感:狭窄的门道和拥挤的空间,我很难在其中通行。)”可知,作者引用玛莎的话是为了说明残疾人面临的问题。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“My preferred adaptation explored in this book is that of clothing companies who advertise by using photos in which models are seated so that wheelchair users can picture how it will look on their bodies. (在这本书中,我最喜欢的适应性案例是服装公司的做法,它们通过使用模特坐着的照片来做广告,这样轮椅使用者就能想象出服装穿在自己身上的样子。)”可知,作者对使用坐着模特的照片持支持态度。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Her candid account of struggles and achievements makes her story a source of inspiration for others, showing that anything is possible with a sense of humor and determination. It’s not just a tale of survival; it’s a testament to her strength and resolve. (她对奋斗和成就的坦诚叙述,使她的故事成为他人的灵感来源,表明只要有幽默感和决心,任何事情都是可能的。这不仅仅是一个关于生存的故事,这是对她力量和决心的证明。)”可知,作者认为《追求“正常”》一书是鼓舞人心且有影响力的。故选D项。
【7题详解】

San Pedro de Atacama, a small town in Chile’s Atacama Desert, is a busy tourist destination. Tour operators and sellers call out to visitors in English in an attempt to turn heads, before trying French, German, or Mandarin. They turn away and whisper in Spanish if they are unsuccessful.
Long before these tourists arrived, another language had been spoken in the region-Ckunsa. Once declared extinct in the 1950s, Ckunsa is still alive in the depths of the desert. “I don’t accept that my native language is extinct,” said 55-year-old Tomás Vilea. “We are going to revitalize our language. It’s not just about communication. It’s our identity.”
The Ckunsa language faced serious suppression (压制) in the 1800s when public schools were established and Spanish was made the dominant language. The Chilean government is now taking steps to help preserve native languages. A curriculum focusing on “the language and culture of ancestral peoples” has been introduced, which is taught to students in areas with significant native populations.
In recent years, local initiatives in the Atacama Desert have also aimed to restore Ckunsa. In 2022, 1,300 Ckunsa dictionaries were distributed to primary school students in San Pedro de Atacama. In the desert oasis of Calama, children are now learning the language at their school. Tomás Vilea is the Ckunsa teacher at the school, helping to pass down the language to a new generation. Although countless words have faded like stars, which is a sorrowful loss of cultural heritage, the community passionately recovers old terms from ancient songs and texts.
Vilea and others feel it is vital to preserve Ckunsa for future generations. “We’re trying to leave something behind for our children,” says teacher Ilia Reyes Aymani. She believes that with persistence, Ckunsa can grow as a language, and the community’s heritage will live on. Through the efforts of people like Vilea and Reyes Aymani, Ckunsa is making a slow but steady comeback. “It’s wonderful to see how people are taking it up,” Reyes Aymani says. “The more we spread the words, the more the language grows.”
8. Why do sellers in San Pedro de Atacama speak different languages to visitors?
A. To seek business opportunities. B. To show friendliness to tourists.
C. To improve their language skills. D. To promote the fame of the town.
9. What effort has been made to preserve Ckunsa?
A. Replacing Spanish with Ckunsa in schools.
B. Integrating Ckunsa learning into education.
C. Establishing public schools to teach Ckunsa.
D. Listing Ckunsa as the nation’s cultural heritage.
10. What’s the purpose of recovering old terms from ancient songs and texts?
A. To attract foreign visitors.
B. To enlarge Spanish vocabulary.
C. To restore the lost cultural heritage.
D. To simplify language learning for kids.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Losing Heritage is Losing Our Identity.
B. A Desert’s Lost Tongue finds Its Voice.
C. Saving Calama: The Return of a Race.
D. Exploring Ckunsa: A Window into Atacama.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了曾被宣布已灭绝的本土语言Ckunsa,如今通过智利政府将其融入学校课程、当地分发词典及教师教学等举措,正缓慢但稳步地恢复,当地社区也致力于为后代保护这一承载身份认同的文化遗产。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Tour operators and sellers call out to visitors in English in an attempt to turn heads, before trying French, German, or Mandarin. They turn away and whisper in Spanish if they are unsuccessful.(旅行社经营者和商贩们会先用英语招揽游客,想要吸引他们的注意,若是没效果,再试着用法语、德语或普通话(沟通)。如果这些语言都不管用,他们便会转过身去,用西班牙语小声交谈。)”可知,商贩用不同的语言招呼游客是为了吸引游客注意,寻求商业机会,促成交易。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The Chilean government is now taking steps to help preserve native languages. A curriculum focusing on “the language and culture of ancestral peoples” has been introduced, which is taught to students in areas with significant native populations.(智利政府正在采取措施保护本土语言。一门以“祖先民族的语言和文化”为核心的课程已正式推行,向土著人口众多地区的学生讲授。)”以及第四段中“In recent years, local initiatives in the Atacama Desert have also aimed to restore Ckunsa. In 2022, 1,300 Ckunsa dictionaries were distributed to primary school students in San Pedro de Atacama. In the desert oasis of Calama, children are now learning the language at their school.(近年来,阿塔卡马沙漠地区的当地项目也致力于复兴Ckunsa语。2022年,1300本Ckunsa语词典被分发给了圣佩德罗德阿塔卡马的小学生。在沙漠绿洲卡拉马,孩子们现在正在学校学习这种语言。)”可知,为了保护、复兴Ckunsa语,智利政府推出“祖先民族的语言与文化”课程并在原住民聚居区教学,阿塔卡马沙漠地区在当地小学分发词典并在学校开设Ckunsa语课程;由此可知,为了保护Ckunsa语所做出的努力是将Ckunsa语学习融入教育。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Although countless words have faded like stars, which is a sorrowful loss of cultural heritage, the community passionately recovers old terms from ancient songs and texts.(尽管无数Ckunsa语词汇已如星辰般消逝,这无疑是文化遗产的沉痛损失,但当地社区满怀热忱地从古老的歌谣与文本中复原那些遗失的词汇。)”可知,从古老歌曲和文本中恢复旧词是为了恢复遗失的文化遗产。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其根据第二段“Long before these tourists arrived, another language had been spoken in the region-Ckunsa. Once declared extinct in the 1950s, Ckunsa is still alive in the depths of the desert. (早在这些游客到来之前,该地区就已经使用另一种语言——Ckunsa语了。这种语言在20世纪50年代曾被宣布已灭绝,但如今它依然存在于沙漠的深处。)”以及最后一段“Through the efforts of people like Vilea and Reyes Aymani, Ckunsa is making a slow but steady comeback.(通过Vilea和Reyes Aymani等人的努力,Ckunsa语正在缓慢而稳定地回归。)”可知,文章主要讲述了曾被宣布已灭绝的本土语言Ckunsa语,在智利政府和当地社区努力下正在逐步复兴,B选项“A Desert’s Lost Tongue finds Its Voice(沙漠失语重获新声/沙漠中失落的语言重获生机)”能够概括文章主旨,为最佳标题。故选B。
D
What is your ideal garden? Perhaps you’re thinking of beautiful flowers, inviting paths and insects eating the plants. While it sounds odd, insects are integral to holistic gardening, a gardening method that uses native plants to better our local ecosystems.
“As we think about garden design, we often start with the color palette, the amount of sunlight and the soil conditions,” says Mark Konlock, Director of Horticulture at Green Bay Botanical Gardens. “The holistic approach takes those concepts and adds another layer to provide value for insects and other parts of the ecosystem.” This begins with choosing plants that have evolved in your local conditions.
“With natives, you’re able to reduce the amount of upkeep and have plants that stand extreme conditions, like drought or wet soils,” he explains. “Once those plants are established, you don’t have to water them, fertilize them or use pesticides.” Looking at the big picture, those benefits overflow into the environment. An example is plants that like wet soil; they can be added to a rain garden to filter (过滤) the groundwater and reduce runoff. And when you don’t use pesticides in the garden, you can focus on letting insects grow.
Of course, tolerating all kinds of insects takes some effort. “We’re used to avoiding insect damage in our gardens, so it takes a bit of retraining our minds to help us see the value of letting those insects eat the plants,” Mark says. Chewing insects serve as prey for other members of the ecosystem, such as birds, and in many species, those that survive the larval stage develop into pollinators (授粉者) that we like to see. As pollinators continue losing habitat, it becomes more vital to assist them, as they’re responsible for one-third of our food supply.
12. What is an advantage of holistic gardening?
A. It can make plants more inviting. B. It can enhance local ecosystems.
C. It can popularize gardening. D. It can control the reproduction of insects.
13. What does the underlined word “upkeep” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Design. B. Improvement. C. Decoration. D. Maintenance.
14. What do we know about native plants from the text?
A. They are beneficial to the environment.
B. They are sensitive to various pesticides.
C. They can help to filter the drinking water.
D. They need more light compared to foreign plants.
15. What message does the last paragraph mainly convey?
A. Birds are responsible for our food supply.
B. Pollinators face threats of losing their habitats.
C. People should avoid insect damage in gardens.
D. Insects play an important role in the food chain.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了整体园艺法,包括其理念、优势、对本地植物的选择以及对昆虫的包容态度等。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“While it sounds odd, insects are integral to holistic gardening, a gardening method that uses native plants to better our local ecosystems.(虽然这听起来很奇怪,但昆虫是整体园艺的组成部分,整体园艺是一种利用本地植物来改善我们当地生态系统的园艺方法)”可知,整体园艺法利用本地植物来改善我们当地的生态系统,这是它的优势。故选B项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中““With natives, you’re able to reduce the amount of upkeep and have plants that stand extreme conditions, like drought or wet soils,” he explains. “Once those plants are established, you don’t have to water them, fertilize them or use pesticides.”(他解释说:“种植本地植物,你就可以减少upkeep工作量,有能适应极端环境的植物,比如干旱或潮湿的土壤。一旦这些植物种植好,你就不需要给它们浇水、施肥或使用杀虫剂。”)”可知,本地植物只要种植好,就不需要给它们浇水、施肥或使用杀虫剂,可以减少维护工作量。由此推知,划线词upkeep意为“维护,保养”,与D项“Maintenance”意思相近。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Once those plants are established, you don’t have to water them, fertilize them or use pesticides.(一旦这些植物种植好,你就不需要给它们浇水、施肥或使用杀虫剂)”和“Looking at the big picture, those benefits overflow into the environment. An example is plants that like wet soil; they can be added to a rain garden to filter (过滤) the groundwater and reduce runoff. And when you don’t use pesticides in the garden, you can focus on letting insects grow.(从宏观视角看,这些益处最终将惠及整个生态环境。以喜湿植物为例,将其引入雨水花园能过滤地下水、减少径流。当你不在花园里使用杀虫剂时,实际上是在为昆虫创造繁衍生息的空间)”可知,本地植物对环境有益。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Chewing insects serve as prey for other members of the ecosystem, such as birds, and in many species, those that survive the larval stage develop into pollinators (授粉者) that we like to see. As pollinators continue losing habitat, it becomes more vital to assist them, as they’re responsible for one-third of our food supply.(咀嚼类昆虫既是生态系统中鸟类等其他成员的食物来源,其存活过幼虫期的个体更会蜕变为我们乐见的授粉者。随着授粉昆虫栖息地持续减少,助力其生存变得愈发关键——毕竟全球三分之一的食物供应都依赖它们完成)”可知,最后一段主要介绍了昆虫在食物链中扮演着重要的角色。故选D项。
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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Over the past two decades, research has emerged showing that opportunities for risky play are crucial to healthy physical, mental and emotional development. These experiences let children build spatial awareness, cooperation, and the ability to tolerate uncertainty. ____16____
In many nations risky play is now more restricted than ever, due to misunderstandings about risk and general underestimation of its benefits. ____17____ Research shows adults often misjudge what truly risks children’s safety, and some environments built for risky play offer clues for progress. Now, researchers think there’s much to uncover about its advantages, yet studying it faces practical barriers.
“Most people assume I’d oppose risky play,” says Pamela Fuselli, head of Parachute, a Toronto-based injury-prevention nonprofit. ____18____ “The benefits are vast, and we can’t downplay their worth.” Her words reflect a growing understanding of risky play’s positive impact.
The roots of risky-play research trace to 1996, when Norway set playground safety rules — requiring handrails, rounded corners, and fall-injury — reducing equipment in play areas. ____19____ Years later, psychologist Ellen Sandseter noticed how these rules reshaped kids’ risk-taking chances.
Importantly, risk isn’t danger. Danger is what a child can’t detect or handle — like a toddler going barefoot near broken glass (dangerous, not risky). ____20____ This clarity helps adults support healthy risky play for kids.
A. “I actually see the value in well-managed risky play,” she adds.
B. But these opportunities are now under threat in many parts of the world.
C. Risk, by contrast, is a manageable challenge kids can face with support.
D. Such play is also a powerful way to boost children’s problem-solving skills.
E. However, in many places, the reality of risky play has become quite different.
F. The safety push in Norway, however, stimulated new interest in risky play studies.
G. Adults’ wrong ideas about risk lead to over-controlled play spaces that limit growth.
【答案】16. D 17. G 18. A 19. F 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了冒险游戏对儿童健康发展的重要性,以及当前社会对冒险游戏的误解和限制,同时探讨了风险与危险的区别。
【16题详解】
上文“These experiences let children build spatial awareness, cooperation, and the ability to tolerate uncertainty.(这些经历让孩子们建立空间意识、合作能力和容忍不确定性的能力)”说明了冒险游戏带来的好处,D选项“Such play is also a powerful way to boost children’s problem-solving skills.(这种游戏也是提高孩子解决问题能力的有力途径)”进一步补充说明冒险游戏的其他好处,与上文构成并列关系,上下文衔接紧密。故选D项。
【17题详解】
上文“In many nations risky play is now more restricted than ever, due to misunderstandings about risk and general underestimation of its benefits. (在许多国家,由于对风险的误解和对风险益处的普遍低估,冒险游戏现在受到比以往任何时候都更多的限制)”以及后文“Research shows adults often misjudge what truly risks children’s safety (研究表明,成年人常常误判什么真正威胁到孩子的安全)”可知,成年人对风险的错误理解导致了冒险游戏受到限制。G选项“Adults’ wrong ideas about risk lead to over-controlled play spaces that limit growth. (成年人对风险的错误观念导致过度控制的游乐空间,限制了增长)”直接指出了成年人对风险的错误观念是导致冒险游戏受限的原因,符合语境。故选G项。
【18题详解】
上文“Most people assume I’d oppose risky play(大多数人认为我会反对冒险游戏)”和下文“The benefits are vast, and we can’t downplay their worth. (好处是巨大的,我们不能低估它们的价值)”都是Pamela Fuselli说的话,但观点形成对比,A选项““I actually see the value in well-managed risky play,” she adds. (“我实际上看到了管理良好的冒险游戏的价值,”她补充道)”承上启下,说明Pamela Fuselli的真实想法与大多数人的假设不同,她看到了冒险玩耍的价值。故选A项。
【19题详解】
上文“The roots of risky-play research trace to 1996, when Norway set playground safety rules — requiring handrails, rounded corners, and fall-injury — reducing equipment in play areas.(冒险游戏研究的根源可以追溯到1996年,当时挪威制定了游乐场安全规则——要求在游乐区设置扶手、圆角和减少坠落伤害的设备)”介绍了挪威制定游乐场安全规则的情况,F选项“The safety push in Norway, however, stimulated new interest in risky play studies.(然而,挪威推动的安全举措却激发了人们对冒险性游戏研究的新兴趣)”承接上文,说明挪威的这一举措反而激发了对危险玩耍研究的新兴趣,上下文逻辑清晰。故选F项。
【20题详解】
上文“Danger is what a child can’t detect or handle — like a toddler going barefoot near broken glass (dangerous, not risky).(危险是孩子无法察觉或处理的事情——比如蹒跚学步的孩子在碎玻璃附近赤脚行走(危险,而不是有风险))”解释了危险的定义,C选项“Risk, by contrast, is a manageable challenge kids can face with support.(相比之下,风险是孩子们在支持下可以面对的可管理的挑战)”则解释了风险的定义,与上文形成对比,上下文逻辑关系明确。故选C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 appeal of Labubu isn’t about aesthetics-it’s about symbolism. Labubu is unsettling, contradictory, and weirdly ____36____ (charm). So is adolescence. Kids this age are often attracted by the strange and the edgy. Not because they’re disturbed, but because they’re exploring how ____37____ (hold) conflicting emotions and still feel okay.
Psychologists call this “symbolic mastery”: the process by which children tame confusion, discomfort, or fear through ownership. If something ____38____ (shock) you just enough — but not too much — it becomes ____39____ perfect object for exploration. Labubu is an ____40____ (invite) to master the strange. To say: “This thing doesn’t make total sense. But I can make space for ____41____. I can own it.”
Let’s add in another piece of the puzzle: blind boxes. Labubu dolls ____42____ (sell) in sealed packages, so you don’t know which version you’ll get ____43____ you open it. Labubu isn’t just a toy — it’s a social signal. In middle school, kids say, “Look, I got the rare Labubu!” We talk about peer pressure like it’s always harmful, but the truth is, ____44____ (fit) in is a developmental milestone.
So when your child wants a Labubu because “everyone else has one,” it’s not a moral failing. It’s a ____45____ (perfect) healthy bid for inclusion. You don’t have to give in, but it helps to understand the psychology behind the ask.
【答案】36. charming
37. to hold
38. shocks 39. a
40. invitation
41. it 42. are sold
43. until 44. fitting
45. perfectly
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Labubu吸引力源于其象征意义,它契合了青少年探索复杂情感的心理需求,同时,通过盲盒形式,Labubu成为了一种社交信号,反映了青少年融入群体的心理发展。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:Labubu让人不安、矛盾,却又奇怪地迷人。提示词作表语,与形容词unsettling和contradictory是并列关系,也应用形容词charming,意为“迷人的”。故填charming。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这个年龄段的孩子经常被奇怪和前卫的事物所吸引。不是因为他们受到了干扰,而是因为他们正在探索如何处理矛盾的情绪,同时仍然感觉良好。“how _____ (hold) conflicting emotions”作宾语,是“疑问词+不定式”复合结构,表示“如何处理矛盾的情绪”。故填to hold。
【38题详解】
考查时态。句意:如果某件事让你感到足够的震惊,但又不会太过分,那么它就成为了探索的完美对象。shock(使震惊)是从句谓语动词,与主语“something”之间是主动关系,结合语境可知,描述一般性事实用一般现在时态,主语是不定代词,谓语动词用单数形式。故填shocks。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:如果某件事让你感到足够的震惊,但又不会太过分,那么它就成为了探索的完美对象。可数名词object作表语,表示“一个对象”,泛指,且perfect发音以辅音音素开头,用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:Labubu是一个掌握陌生事物的邀请。提示词作表语,用名词invitation,意为“邀请”,有不定冠词an修饰,用单数形式。故填invitation。
【41题详解】
考查代词。句意:但它能给它留出空间。我可以拥有它。空处指代前文的“this thing”,需用代词it作宾语。故填it。
【42题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:Labubu玩偶在密封包装中出售,所以要打开才知道是哪个版本。sell(出售)是谓语动词,与主语“Labubu dolls”之间是被动关系,结合语境可知,描述一般性事实,用一般现在时的被动语态,主语是复数名词,谓语动词用复数形式。故填are sold。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意:Labubu玩偶在密封包装中出售,所以要打开才知道是哪个版本。根据句意,表示“要打开才知道会得到哪个版本”,用连词until引导时间状语从句,构成not...until...结构,意为“直到……才……”。故填until。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:我们谈论同伴压力时总是认为它有害,但事实是,融入集体是发展的一个里程碑。“(fit) in”作主语,表示一般性的行为,用动名词形式作主语。故填fitting。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:这是一种完全健康的融入集体的尝试。提示词修饰形容词healthy,用副词perfectly作状语,意为“完全地”。故填perfectly。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a sunny Sunday, and a group of high school students, including Alex, Lily, and Tom, volunteered to clean up the local park. They’d noticed the park’s steady decline over weeks — soda cans bobbing in the pond and plastic bags snagged on tree branches — and decided to take action. Armed with gloves, rubbish grabbers, and large bin bags, they met at the park entrance, ready to tackle the mess.
As they started their work, they quickly realized the task was more challenging than expected. The rubbish seemed endless: a broken kite string wrapped around a bench and even a discarded shoe near the playground. Lily sighed as she fished a crumpled juice box from the pond. “This is like a never-ending puzzle,” she joked, though her brow was furrowed. But they pressed on, Alex taking the north end by the picnic area, Tom tackling the trail loop, and Lily focusing on the pond and surrounding greenery, their laughter echoing as they turned it into a friendly competition.
However, as they cleaned, a group of younger kids — around seven or eight — burst onto the scene, chasing a soccer ball. They dropped wrappers and bottles without a second thought. Alex, wiping sweat from his forehead, approached them with a smile. “Hey guys, could you throw those in the bin? We’re trying to clean up the park.” One kid stuck out his tongue; another snickered, “Why? It’s not our job.” They ran off, leaving more rubbish in the park.
This made the volunteers pause, frustration simmering. We’re not here to be their servants, Tom whispered, kicking a pebble. Alex nodded, but added, “Yelling won’t help. They’re just kids — maybe they don’t get why it matters.” Lily bit her lip, watching the kids race around a tree. “What if we showed them instead of telling them?” she said, her eyes lighting up.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Lily had a simple idea and told Alex and Tom.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The kids soon noticed what the volunteers were doing.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Lily had a simple idea and told Alex and Tom. She suggested they create a small poster with pictures of the clean park before and the messy one now, and add some fun facts about keeping the environment clean. They could then show it to the kids and explain why it was important to take care of the park. Alex and Tom thought it was a great idea, and they quickly got to work. They found some cardboard and markers and started drawing.
The kids soon noticed what the volunteers were doing. They gathered around, curious. One of the boys pointed at the poster and asked, “What’s that?” Lily smiled and said, “It’s a picture of our park. Look how nice it was before, and look how messy it is now. We want to make it clean again, but we need your help. Do you want to help us?” The kids looked at each other, then nodded. They picked up some rubbish and threw it in the bin. Alex, Tom, and Lily cheered, and the kids grinned, proud of themselves. From then on, the kids became regular volunteers at the park, helping to keep it clean and beautiful.

Martha Siede, who has lived with dystonic cerebral palsy (肌张力障碍型脑瘫) just since she was born, shares her powerful story in the book In Pursuit of “Normal”. As a disabled reader, I was delighted, relieved, and lit up with encouragement and connection while reading this book.
I especially appreciated the way Martha lays out our struggles frankly because of how frequently we encounter them. “The hospital is where you would think disabilities would be comfortable and accepted,” she writes, “but it does not work. It is like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.” Martha’s experiences reflected my own frustration there: narrow doorways and crowded spaces that were difficult for me to navigate.
Throughout each stage of her life, Martha excels in fair, inclusive environments and struggles greatly otherwise. My preferred adaptation explored in this book is that of clothing companies who advertise by using photos in which models are seated so that wheelchair users can picture how it will look on their bodies.
Martha makes a clear, easy-to-follow distinction between when she gets the kind of support that makes her life more equal, and when she does not. Recounting these hardships never feels like a lecture or a reframing of history. Instead, Martha has written something that feels honest and strikes a balance between serious health concerns and conversations where she’s direct about some tough topics. This tone is very true to my experience of living with depression and disability.
This book will guide not only disabled people but also their caregivers. A lot of valuable advice and life lessons can be learned from this book. Her candid account of struggles and achievements makes her story a source of inspiration for others, showing that anything is possible with a sense of humor and determination. It’s not just a tale of survival; it’s a testament (证明) to her strength and resolve.
4. Why does the author quote Martha’s words in paragraph 2?
A. To arouse readers’ care for the disabled.
B. To reveal the poor service of the hospital.
C. To explain the cause of Martha’s frustration.
D. To demonstrate one issue faced by the disabled.
5. What’s the author’s attitude towards using photos of seated models?
A. Ambiguous. B. Dismissive. C. Favorable. D. Indifferent.
6. What does the author think of In Pursuit of “Normal”?
A. It is boring but practical. B. It is classic and moving.
C. It is abstract but engaging. D. It is inspiring and influential.
7. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To teach life lessons. B. To provide inspiration for writers.
C. To recommend a book. D. To emphasize the power of humor.
C
San Pedro de Atacama, a small town in Chile’s Atacama Desert, is a busy tourist destination. Tour operators and sellers call out to visitors in English in an attempt to turn heads, before trying French, German, or Mandarin. They turn away and whisper in Spanish if they are unsuccessful.
Long before these tourists arrived, another language had been spoken in the region-Ckunsa. Once declared extinct in the 1950s, Ckunsa is still alive in the depths of the desert. “I don’t accept that my native language is extinct,” said 55-year-old Tomás Vilea. “We are going to revitalize our language. It’s not just about communication. It’s our identity.”
The Ckunsa language faced serious suppression (压制) in the 1800s when public schools were established and Spanish was made the dominant language. The Chilean government is now taking steps to help preserve native languages. A curriculum focusing on “the language and culture of ancestral peoples” has been introduced, which is taught to students in areas with significant native populations.
In recent years, local initiatives in the Atacama Desert have also aimed to restore Ckunsa. In 2022, 1,300 Ckunsa dictionaries were distributed to primary school students in San Pedro de Atacama. In the desert oasis of Calama, children are now learning the language at their school. Tomás Vilea is the Ckunsa teacher at the school, helping to pass down the language to a new generation. Although countless words have faded like stars, which is a sorrowful loss of cultural heritage, the community passionately recovers old terms from ancient songs and texts.
Vilea and others feel it is vital to preserve Ckunsa for future generations. “We’re trying to leave something behind for our children,” says teacher Ilia Reyes Aymani. She believes that with persistence, Ckunsa can grow as a language, and the community’s heritage will live on. Through the efforts of people like Vilea and Reyes Aymani, Ckunsa is making a slow but steady comeback. “It’s wonderful to see how people are taking it up,” Reyes Aymani says. “The more we spread the words, the more the language grows.”
8. Why do sellers in San Pedro de Atacama speak different languages to visitors?

What is your ideal garden? Perhaps you’re thinking of beautiful flowers, inviting paths and insects eating the plants. While it sounds odd, insects are integral to holistic gardening, a gardening method that uses native plants to better our local ecosystems.
“As we think about garden design, we often start with the color palette, the amount of sunlight and the soil conditions,” says Mark Konlock, Director of Horticulture at Green Bay Botanical Gardens. “The holistic approach takes those concepts and adds another layer to provide value for insects and other parts of the ecosystem.” This begins with choosing plants that have evolved in your local conditions.
“With natives, you’re able to reduce the amount of upkeep and have plants that stand extreme conditions, like drought or wet soils,” he explains. “Once those plants are established, you don’t have to water them, fertilize them or use pesticides.” Looking at the big picture, those benefits overflow into the environment. An example is plants that like wet soil; they can be added to a rain garden to filter (过滤) the groundwater and reduce runoff. And when you don’t use pesticides in the garden, you can focus on letting insects grow.
Of course, tolerating all kinds of insects takes some effort. “We’re used to avoiding insect damage in our gardens, so it takes a bit of retraining our minds to help us see the value of letting those insects eat the plants,” Mark says. Chewing insects serve as prey for other members of the ecosystem, such as birds, and in many species, those that survive the larval stage develop into pollinators (授粉者) that we like to see. As pollinators continue losing habitat, it becomes more vital to assist them, as they’re responsible for one-third of our food supply.
12 What is an advantage of holistic gardening?
A. It can make plants more inviting. B. It can enhance local ecosystems.
C. It can popularize gardening. D. It can control the reproduction of insects.
13. What does the underlined word “upkeep” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Design. B. Improvement. C. Decoration. D. Maintenance.
14. What do we know about native plants from the text?
A. They are beneficial to the environment.
B. They are sensitive to various pesticides.
C. They can help to filter the drinking water.
D. They need more light compared to foreign plants.
15. What message does the last paragraph mainly convey?
A. Birds are responsible for our food supply.
B. Pollinators face threats of losing their habitats.
C. People should avoid insect damage in gardens.
D. Insects play an important role in the food chain.

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Over the past two decades, research has emerged showing that opportunities for risky play are crucial to healthy physical, mental and emotional development. These experiences let children build spatial awareness, cooperation, and the ability to tolerate uncertainty. ____16____
In many nations risky play is now more restricted than ever, due to misunderstandings about risk and general underestimation of its benefits. ____17____ Research shows adults often misjudge what truly risks children’s safety, and some environments built for risky play offer clues for progress. Now, researchers think there’s much to uncover about its advantages, yet studying it faces practical barriers.
“Most people assume I’d oppose risky play,” says Pamela Fuselli, head of Parachute, a Toronto-based injury-prevention nonprofit. ____18____ “The benefits are vast, and we can’t downplay their worth.” Her words reflect a growing understanding of risky play’s positive impact.
The roots of risky-play research trace to 1996, when Norway set playground safety rules — requiring handrails, rounded corners, and fall-injury — reducing equipment in play areas. ____19____ Years later, psychologist Ellen Sandseter noticed how these rules reshaped kids’ risk-taking chances.
Importantly, risk isn’t danger. Danger is what a child can’t detect or handle — like a toddler going barefoot near broken glass (dangerous, not risky). ____20____ This clarity helps adults support healthy risky play for kids.
A. “I actually see the value in well-managed risky play,” she adds.
B. But these opportunities are now under threat in many parts of the world.
C. Risk, by contrast, is a manageable challenge kids can face with support.
D. Such play is also a powerful way to boost children’s problem-solving skills.
E. However, in many places, the reality of risky play has become quite different.
F. The safety push in Norway, however, stimulated new interest in risky play studies.
G. Adults’ wrong ideas about risk lead to over-controlled play spaces that limit growth.

The appeal of Labubu isn’t about aesthetics-it’s about symbolism. Labubu is unsettling, contradictory, and weirdly ____36____ (charm). So is adolescence. Kids this age are often attracted by the strange and the edgy. Not because they’re disturbed, but because they’re exploring how ____37____ (hold) conflicting emotions and still feel okay.
Psychologists call this “symbolic mastery”: the process by which children tame confusion, discomfort, or fear through ownership. If something ____38____ (shock) you just enough — but not too much — it becomes ____39____ perfect object for exploration. Labubu is an ____40____ (invite) to master the strange. To say: “This thing doesn’t make total sense. But I can make space for ____41____. I can own it.”

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a sunny Sunday, and a group of high school students, including Alex, Lily, and Tom, volunteered to clean up the local park. They’d noticed the park’s steady decline over weeks — soda cans bobbing in the pond and plastic bags snagged on tree branches — and decided to take action. Armed with gloves, rubbish grabbers, and large bin bags, they met at the park entrance, ready to tackle the mess.
As they started their work, they quickly realized the task was more challenging than expected. The rubbish seemed endless: a broken kite string wrapped around a bench and even a discarded shoe near the playground. Lily sighed as she fished a crumpled juice box from the pond. “This is like a never-ending puzzle,” she joked, though her brow was furrowed. But they pressed on, Alex taking the north end by the picnic area, Tom tackling the trail loop, and Lily focusing on the pond and surrounding greenery, their laughter echoing as they turned it into a friendly competition.
However, as they cleaned, a group of younger kids — around seven or eight — burst onto the scene, chasing a soccer ball. They dropped wrappers and bottles without a second thought. Alex, wiping sweat from his forehead, approached them with a smile. “Hey guys, could you throw those in the bin? We’re trying to clean up the park.” One kid stuck out his tongue; another snickered, “Why? It’s not our job.” They ran off, leaving more rubbish in the park.
This made the volunteers pause, frustration simmering. We’re not here to be their servants, Tom whispered, kicking a pebble. Alex nodded, but added, “Yelling won’t help. They’re just kids — maybe they don’t get why it matters.” Lily bit her lip, watching the kids race around a tree. “What if we showed them instead of telling them?” she said, her eyes lighting up.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Lily had a simple idea and told Alex and Tom.
