Life can be challenging, particularly for people with autism (自闭症). It is a disorder that does not have one single cause and can take many forms. Most often, it creates difficulty in communicating and interacting with others. Severe autism may leave someone unable to speak entirely or function without assistance. But many people with autism have led rewarding or even outstanding lives. One such person is Haley Moss.
As a three-year-old, Haley was able to do difficult tasks such as finishing large puzzles. However, she couldn’t say simple words like “Mommy.” The concerned parents took her to a doctor. After careful examination, the doctors diagnosed (诊断) her as having autism. At the time, the family was given some extremely negative news. “My parents were told that I would be lucky to have friends or even hold a minimum wage job,” Haley said. Yet, by getting professional help, Haley was able to join regular school classes at four. She did quite well at school, although with her poor social skills, it was hard for her to make friends.
Eventually, Haley became so successful that she made history. After graduating from the University of Miami, she got hired by a law firm and became the first autistic lawyer in Florida. Being a lawyer wasn’t her first choice of career, though. Previous to going to law school, she studied psychology (心理学) and considered becoming a psychologist to help others with autism. However, Haley discovered she didn’t enjoy the science classes, so she decided that becoming a lawyer would fit her interests better. In addition to being a legal professional, Haley has also published books and has a talent for painting. Most definitely, Haley has far exceeded those original low expectations of her and proven the experts wrong. In short, she has become a role model for others with autism.
4. What can be inferred about autism according to paragraph 1?
A It affects people in different ways. B. It leads to the loss of speech function.
C. It is a disorder that can be easily cured. D. It prevents people from leading successful lives.
5. What negative prediction did Haley’s parents receive from the doctor?
A. Haley would never learn to speak. B. Haley would struggle with puzzles.
C. Haley would fail to graduate from school. D. Haley might not have friends or hold a basic job.
6. Why did Haley choose to become a lawyer instead of a psychologist?
A. She thought psychology too difficult to learn.
B. She hoped to become the first autistic lawyer.
C. She wanted to help people with autism as a lawyer.
D. She realized entering the field of law better suited her interests.
7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Career in Law: The Journey of Haley Moss.
B. Overcoming Challenges: The Story of Autism.
C. Understanding Autism: Causes and Challenges.
D. Haley Moss: Overcoming Autism and Making History.
C
Although the shortcomings of the world’s dependence on plastics are all too obvious, the benefits they provide are all too easily ignored. Materials made from plastics are lighter, and cheaper and easier to produce. These materials have become vital in everything from building to car making. Plastics have also eased the world’s dependence on older materials, and on the living beings, from which many of them came. There are perhaps 10 million pianos in the world. If all the white keys were made of ivory, how many elephants would remain?
Just as the benefits of plastics are often unseen, however, so are some potential harms. Now there is growing concern about what happens when they break up into micro pieces invisible to the eye. In the past decade such “microplastics” have been found in food chains, in human brains and even in the snow of Antarctica.
To deal with the plastics pollution the best approach is not to ban plastics, but to manage them more carefully. Better recycling technologies, now under development, are one part of the answer. The percentage of plastics which end up being recycled has doubled in the past two decades, but it is still only 9%. This is not because people do not care about the planet. It is because recycling is harder and more costly than most people realise.
Greater use should therefore be made of landfill. When properly managed and well monitored, this is far less environmentally ruinous than often believed, and can be simpler and more effective. It also sidesteps the risk that plastics sent across the world for recycling will be dumped or burned. Incinerator (焚烧炉), which can both produce energy and allow the resulting carbon to be trapped, are a useful choice too, though they are also unpopular. Fortnum, a Finnish company, has found a way to turn the hydrocarbons (烃) back into plastic materials. Such innovation should be built on. When it comes to plastics, the benefits are very much greater than most people will allow — and so is the potential for managing the costs.
8 Why does the author mention the example of piano keys in paragraph 1?
A. To argue that pianos should only be made from plastics.
B. To stress the environmental benefits of using plastics.
C. To show how plastic materials have replaced natural resources.
D. To explain the environmental impact of using traditional materials.
9. What is the main reason for the low rate of plastic recycling?
A. The risks caused by recycling. B. The undeveloped recycling technology.
C. The difficulty and high cost of recycling. D. People’s lack of concern for the environment.
10. What does the underlined word “sidestep” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Increases. B. Encourages. C. Avoids. D. Represents.
11. What is the author’s overall attitude toward the future of plastic management?
A. Optimistic. B. Hopeless. C. Indifferent. D. Critical.
D
David Strayer, an expert in attention at the University of Utah never texts or talks on a phone when he is driving. His research shows that, when driving, using a phone can be as dangerous as drinking alcohol.
Despite (尽管) many warnings, multitasking is increasingly common. It is found that people in the United States switch tasks on their computers 566 times a day. However, when people spend hours on digital devices constantly switching between activities, the overall productivity decreases. Too much multitasking reduces the ability to think clearly and creatively and to remember information. This, in turn, can result in stress.
What is the best cure for the overstressed minds? David Strayer says the answer is simple: spend some time in nature. When people are in natural environments, the prefrontal cortex (the brain’s control center) relaxes. Studies show that when people can see trees and grass, they are calmer and do better in school.
In a study at Chiba University in Japan, 84 subjects went for a 15-minute walk in seven different forests. The same number of people walked around different city centers. Researchers then took blood from each person. The forest walkers had a 16 percent decrease in the stress hormone cortisol. In addition, they had a 2 percent drop in blood pressure and a 4 percent drop in heart rate. All did better than the city walkers. Lead researcher Yoshifumi Miyazaki has an explanation for these results. Our bodies relax in pleasant natural environments, he says. Humans evolved in that environment, not in places with tall buildings and lots of traffic.
Strayer says it is the visual details in nature — sunsets, streams, butterflies that reduce stress and mental tiredness. People enjoy them without having to concentrate on them, which allows the brains to rest and recover from the stresses of modern life. “Imagine a therapy (疗法) that is there for you and can improve the cognitive (认知的) functioning at zero cost,” Strayer says. “It exists: it’s called ‘interacting with nature.’”
12. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The cure for the reduction of creativity.
B. The reason for the popularity of multitasking.
C. The common use of multitasking in the USA.
D. The harmful effects caused by multitasking.
13. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a likely benefit of seeing nature?
A. Feelings of calm and relaxation. B. Faster reaction speed.
C. Improved mental function. D. Better school performance.
14. How did the researchers get the result of their study?
A. By doing research. B. By analyzing cause and effect.
C. By making comparisons. D. By explaining the phenomenon.
15. What does Strayer think about “interacting with nature”?
A. It is a free and effective treatment to reduce stress.
B. It only works for people who enjoy natural views.
C. It requires a lot of concentration to be effective.
D. It is an expensive therapy that improves brain function.

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。
The blank canvas (画布) stared back at me, its whiteness scarier than any exam I’d ever taken. My fingers trembled as I held the paintbrush. “Remember, class,” Mrs. Larson’s voice echoed in my mind, “your final project should reflect your personal journey this semester.” I swallowed hard. Three months ago, I wouldn’t have dared to set foot in this room. Art had always been Mia’s territory (领地) — my best friend since third grade who could make magic happen with just a pencil and paper.
It all started on that rainy September afternoon in the library when I was drawing on my math notebook. Mia had picked it up before I could stop her. “Amazing, Lily!” she said, her green eyes wide with genuine excitement. “The way you play with negative space (留白) ... you have to join art club!”
Now, as I looked at the pile of failed attempts beside me — a sunset that looked like a traffic light. I wondered if I’d made a terrible mistake. The Spring Art Exhibition was just two days away, and my confidence was fading faster than the cheap watercolors on my practice sheets. A soft knock stopped my thoughts. Mia popped her head in. “Still here?” She slid into the seat beside me, eyeing my latest failure. “You’re overthinking it,” she said gently. “Art isn’t about perfection. It’s about...”
“Expression, I know,” I finished for her, sighing. But how could I express what I didn’t even understand myself? The bell rang, signaling the end of after-school hours. Mia hesitated at the door. “Just...try painting how you feel, not what you see.”As her footsteps faded down the hallway, I turned back to the blank canvas. For the first time, I noticed how the afternoon sun streaming through the windows made the white surface shine like fresh snow. Taking a deep breath, I reached for the black paint.
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。
Paragraph 1: The clock struck midnight as I finally stepped back from the painting stand.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Two days later, I was surprised to see so many people gathering around my work at the exhibition.

Life can be challenging, particularly for people with autism (自闭症). It is a disorder that does not have one single cause and can take many forms. Most often, it creates difficulty in communicating and interacting with others. Severe autism may leave someone unable to speak entirely or function without assistance. But many people with autism have led rewarding or even outstanding lives. One such person is Haley Moss.
As a three-year-old, Haley was able to do difficult tasks such as finishing large puzzles. However, she couldn’t say simple words like “Mommy.” The concerned parents took her to a doctor. After careful examination, the doctors diagnosed (诊断) her as having autism. At the time, the family was given some extremely negative news. “My parents were told that I would be lucky to have friends or even hold a minimum wage job,” Haley said. Yet, by getting professional help, Haley was able to join regular school classes at four. She did quite well at school, although with her poor social skills, it was hard for her to make friends.
Eventually, Haley became so successful that she made history. After graduating from the University of Miami, she got hired by a law firm and became the first autistic lawyer in Florida. Being a lawyer wasn’t her first choice of career, though. Previous to going to law school, she studied psychology (心理学) and considered becoming a psychologist to help others with autism. However, Haley discovered she didn’t enjoy the science classes, so she decided that becoming a lawyer would fit her interests better. In addition to being a legal professional, Haley has also published books and has a talent for painting. Most definitely, Haley has far exceeded those original low expectations of her and proven the experts wrong. In short, she has become a role model for others with autism.
4. What can be inferred about autism according to paragraph 1?
A. It affects people in different ways. B. It leads to the loss of speech function.
C. It is a disorder that can be easily cured. D. It prevents people from leading successful lives.
5. What negative prediction did Haley’s parents receive from the doctor?
A. Haley would never learn to speak. B. Haley would struggle with puzzles.
C. Haley would fail to graduate from school. D. Haley might not have friends or hold a basic job.
6. Why did Haley choose to become a lawyer instead of a psychologist?
A. She thought psychology too difficult to learn.
B. She hoped to become the first autistic lawyer.
C. She wanted to help people with autism as a lawyer.
D. She realized entering the field of law better suited her interests.
7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Career in Law: The Journey of Haley Moss.
B. Overcoming Challenges: The Story of Autism.
C. Understanding Autism: Causes and Challenges.
D. Haley Moss: Overcoming Autism and Making History.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了自闭症患者Haley Moss克服挑战、创造历史的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Life can be challenging, particularly for people with autism (自闭症). It is a disorder that does not have one single cause and can take many forms. Most often, it creates difficulty in communicating and interacting with others. Severe autism may leave someone unable to speak entirely or function without assistance.(生活可能是充满挑战的,特别是对于自闭症患者。它是一种没有单一原因的疾病,可以表现为多种形式。在大多数情况下,它会造成与他人沟通和互动的困难。严重的自闭症可能会让一个人完全无法说话或无法在没有帮助的情况下生活。)”可推知,自闭症对人的影响是不同的,有的人可能无法说话,有的人可能只是社交困难,即它对不同的人有着不同的影响。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“‘My parents were told that I would be lucky to have friends or even hold a minimum wage job,’ Haley said.(Haley说:‘我父母被告知,我能有朋友或甚至能做一份最低工资的工作就算幸运了。’)”可知,Haley的父母从医生那里得到的负面预测是Haley可能交不到朋友或不能从事基本的工作。故选D项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“However, Haley discovered she didn’t enjoy the science classes, so she decided that becoming a lawyer would fit her interests better.(然而,Haley发现她不喜欢科学课,所以她决定成为一名律师更符合她的兴趣。)”可知,Haley选择成为一名律师而不是心理学家是因为她意识到进入法律领域更符合她的兴趣。故选D项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第三段中的“Eventually, Haley became so successful that she made history. After graduating from the University of Miami, she got hired by a law firm and became the first autistic lawyer in Florida.(最终,Haley取得了如此巨大的成功,创造了历史。从迈阿密大学毕业后,她被一家律师事务所录用,成为佛罗里达州第一位自闭症律师。)”可知,本文主要讲述了Haley Moss克服自闭症,创造历史的故事。故D选项“Haley Moss: Overcoming Autism and Making History(Haley Moss:克服自闭症,创造历史)”最符合文章标题。故选D项。
C
Although the shortcomings of the world’s dependence on plastics are all too obvious, the benefits they provide are all too easily ignored. Materials made from plastics are lighter, and cheaper and easier to produce. These materials have become vital in everything from building to car making. Plastics have also eased the world’s dependence on older materials, and on the living beings, from which many of them came. There are perhaps 10 million pianos in the world. If all the white keys were made of ivory, how many elephants would remain?
Just as the benefits of plastics are often unseen, however, so are some potential harms. Now there is growing concern about what happens when they break up into micro pieces invisible to the eye. In the past decade such “microplastics” have been found in food chains, in human brains and even in the snow of Antarctica.
To deal with the plastics pollution the best approach is not to ban plastics, but to manage them more carefully. Better recycling technologies, now under development, are one part of the answer. The percentage of plastics which end up being recycled has doubled in the past two decades, but it is still only 9%. This is not because people do not care about the planet. It is because recycling is harder and more costly than most people realise.
Greater use should therefore be made of landfill. When properly managed and well monitored, this is far less environmentally ruinous than often believed, and can be simpler and more effective. It also sidesteps the risk that plastics sent across the world for recycling will be dumped or burned. Incinerator (焚烧炉), which can both produce energy and allow the resulting carbon to be trapped, are a useful choice too, though they are also unpopular. Fortnum, a Finnish company, has found a way to turn the hydrocarbons (烃) back into plastic materials. Such innovation should be built on. When it comes to plastics, the benefits are very much greater than most people will allow — and so is the potential for managing the costs.
8. Why does the author mention the example of piano keys in paragraph 1?
A. To argue that pianos should only be made from plastics.
B. To stress the environmental benefits of using plastics.
C. To show how plastic materials have replaced natural resources.
D. To explain the environmental impact of using traditional materials.
9. What is the main reason for the low rate of plastic recycling?
A. The risks caused by recycling. B. The undeveloped recycling technology.
C. The difficulty and high cost of recycling. D. People’s lack of concern for the environment.
10. What does the underlined word “sidestep” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Increases. B. Encourages. C. Avoids. D. Represents.
11. What is the author’s overall attitude toward the future of plastic management?
A. Optimistic. B. Hopeless. C. Indifferent. D. Critical.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出塑料有不可忽视的益处,也存在微塑料等危害,提出应通过优化回收、合理填埋等管理塑料,且看好其管理潜力。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Plastics have also eased the world’s dependence on older materials, and on the living beings, from which many of them came. There are perhaps 10 million pianos in the world. If all the white keys were made of ivory, how many elephants would remain? (塑料还减轻了世界对传统材料以及这些材料来源生物的依赖。世界上大约有1000万架钢琴。如果所有白键都用象牙制成,还会剩下多少头大象呢?)”可知,作者以钢琴键为例,对比“用象牙(伤害大象)” 与“用塑料(保护大象)”,旨在强调使用塑料的环境益处。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The percentage of plastics which end up being recycled has doubled in the past two decades, but it is still only 9%. This is not because people do not care about the planet. It is because recycling is harder and more costly than most people realise. (在过去20年里,最终被回收的塑料比例翻了一番,但仍只有9%。这并非因为人们不关心地球,而是因为回收比大多数人意识到的更困难、成本更高)”可知,塑料回收率低的主要原因是回收的难度大且成本高。故选C项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“Greater use should therefore be made of landfill. When properly managed and well monitored, this is far less environmentally ruinous than often believed, and can be simpler and more effective. It also sidesteps the risk that plastics sent across the world for recycling will be dumped or burned. (因此应更多采用填埋法。若管理得当且监控到位,填埋法对环境的破坏远低于人们通常的认知,且更简单高效。它还能sidesteps全球运输回收塑料时可能被倾倒或焚烧的风险)” 可知,这里在讲填埋法的好处,因此猜测这方法可避免回收塑料在运输中被不当处理的风险,所以猜测sidesteps应意为“避免”,与Avoids含义一致。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Better recycling technologies, now under development, are one part of the answer.(目前正在开发更好的回收技术是答案的一部分)” 以及第四段中“Fortnum, a Finnish company, has found a way to turn the hydrocarbons back into plastic materials. Such innovation should be built on. When it comes to plastics, the benefits are very much greater than most people will allow — and so is the potential for managing the costs. (芬兰公司Fortnum已找到将烃转化为塑料材料的方法,此类创新应得到推广。谈及塑料,其益处远大于多数人认知,管控其成本的潜力亦是如此)”可知,作者提及技术研发、企业创新,认为塑料管理有潜力,整体态度乐观。故选A项。
D
David Strayer, an expert in attention at the University of Utah never texts or talks on a phone when he is driving. His research shows that, when driving, using a phone can be as dangerous as drinking alcohol.
Despite (尽管) many warnings, multitasking is increasingly common. It is found that people in the United States switch tasks on their computers 566 times a day. However, when people spend hours on digital devices constantly switching between activities, the overall productivity decreases. Too much multitasking reduces the ability to think clearly and creatively and to remember information. This, in turn, can result in stress.
What is the best cure for the overstressed minds? David Strayer says the answer is simple: spend some time in nature. When people are in natural environments, the prefrontal cortex (the brain’s control center) relaxes. Studies show that when people can see trees and grass, they are calmer and do better in school.
In a study at Chiba University in Japan, 84 subjects went for a 15-minute walk in seven different forests. The same number of people walked around different city centers. Researchers then took blood from each person. The forest walkers had a 16 percent decrease in the stress hormone cortisol. In addition, they had a 2 percent drop in blood pressure and a 4 percent drop in heart rate. All did better than the city walkers. Lead researcher Yoshifumi Miyazaki has an explanation for these results. Our bodies relax in pleasant natural environments, he says. Humans evolved in that environment, not in places with tall buildings and lots of traffic.
Strayer says it is the visual details in nature — sunsets, streams, butterflies that reduce stress and mental tiredness. People enjoy them without having to concentrate on them, which allows the brains to rest and recover from the stresses of modern life. “Imagine a therapy (疗法) that is there for you and can improve the cognitive (认知的) functioning at zero cost,” Strayer says. “It exists: it’s called ‘interacting with nature.’”
12. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The cure for the reduction of creativity.
B. The reason for the popularity of multitasking.
C. The common use of multitasking in the USA.
D. The harmful effects caused by multitasking.
13. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a likely benefit of seeing nature?
A. Feelings of calm and relaxation. B. Faster reaction speed.
C. Improved mental function. D. Better school performance.
14. How did the researchers get the result of their study?
A. By doing research. B. By analyzing cause and effect.
C. By making comparisons. D. By explaining the phenomenon.
15. What does Strayer think about “interacting with nature”?
A It is a free and effective treatment to reduce stress.
B. It only works for people who enjoy natural views.
C. It requires a lot of concentration to be effective.
D. It is an expensive therapy that improves brain function.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究指出多任务处理的危害,并提出自然疗法能显著降低压力激素、改善身心健康,强调这是一种零成本且有效的解压方式。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“However, when people spend hours on digital devices constantly switching between activities, the overall productivity decreases. Too much multitasking reduces the ability to think clearly and creatively and to remember information. This, in turn, can result in stress. (然而,当人们在数字设备上花费数小时,不断地在各种活动之间切换时,整体生产力就会下降。过多的多任务处理会降低清晰思考和创造性思维的能力,以及记忆信息的能力。这反过来又会导致压力。)”可知,该段主要讨论了多任务处理的负面影响,包括生产力下降、思维能力减弱以及压力增加。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“When people are in natural environments, the prefrontal cortex (the brain’s control center) relaxes. Studies show that when people can see trees and grass, they are calmer and do better in school. (当人们处于自然环境中时,前额叶皮层(大脑的控制中心)会放松。研究表明,当人们能看到树和草时,他们会更平静,在学校表现更好。)”和最后一段中“Strayer says it is the visual details in nature — sunsets, streams, butterflies that reduce stress and mental tiredness. (Strayer说,正是大自然中的视觉细节——日落、溪流、蝴蝶——减轻了压力和精神疲劳。)”可知,文中提到的自然的益处包括感觉平静和放松、在学校表现更好、心理功能改善,未提及更快的反应速度。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“In a study at Chiba University in Japan, 84 subjects went for a 15-minute walk in seven different forests. The same number of people walked around different city centers.

In addition, they had a 2 percent drop in blood pressure and a 4 percent drop in heart rate. All did better than the city walkers. (在日本千叶大学的一项研究中,84名受试者在7个不同的森林中散步15分钟。同样数量的人在不同的城市中心散步。然后研究人员从每个人身上抽血。森林步行者的压力荷尔蒙皮质醇下降了16%。此外,他们的血压下降了2%,心率下降了4%。所有人的表现都比城市步行者好。)”可知,研究者通过对比森林与城市环境对受试者的影响得出结论。故选C项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中Strayer所说的话“Imagine a therapy (疗法) that is there for you and can improve the cognitive (认知的) functioning at zero cost (想象一下,有一种治疗方法可以零成本地改善你的认知功能)”和“It exists: it’s called ‘interacting with nature.’ (它是存在的:它被称为“与自然互动”)”可知,Strayer认为“与自然互动”是一种零成本、有效缓解压力的疗法。故选A项。

考查形容词词义辨析。句意:我逐渐明白,有时候我们所能做的最有成效的事情,就是放慢脚步,倾听内心深处的宁静之声。A. boring无聊的;B. productive多产的,有成效的;C. challenging挑战性的;D. demanding要求高的。前文提到“无所事事”看似无用,却能让人平衡、专注重点,因此“放慢脚步”是“有成效的”事,故选B。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍钢琴家郎朗,提及他2024年音乐会新作品,其音乐融合中西风格,还讲他早年天赋发现及对音乐的理解。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:郎朗,世界上最伟大的钢琴家之一,对国际舞台并不陌生。stranger是可数名词单数,此处表示“一个陌生人”,且stranger以辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:然而,让他2024年音乐会特别的是他的新作品《黄河之声》,这部作品致敬中国丰富的文化遗产,并展现他的艺术成长。此处“ ____ makes his 2024 concert special”为主语从句,从句中缺少主语,指“……的事物”,应用连接代词what引导。故填what。
【38题详解】
考查连词。句意:然而,让他2024年音乐会特别是他的新作品《黄河之声》,这部作品致敬中国丰富的文化遗产,并展现他的艺术成长。分析句子结构可知,“honors China’s rich cultural heritage”与“showcases his artistic growth”为并列关系,均作定语从句的谓语,应用并列连词and连接。故填and。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:郎朗的音乐完美融合了西方古典技巧与中国音乐传统,评论家认为其有能力连接不同背景的人。这里考查consider sb./sth. to do sth.,为固定用法,意为“认为某人/某物做某事”,此处应用不定式“to have”作宾语补足语。故填to have。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:他的最新作品是他对祖国深厚热爱的体现,同时也清晰地展现了他对音乐的创新方法。空前有不定冠词a,应用可数名词单数形式,reflection,意为“体现;反映”,且为可数名词,符合语境。故填reflection。

考查介词。句意:他的最新作品是他对祖国深厚热爱的体现,同时也清晰地展现了他对音乐的创新方法。这里考查approach to sth.,为固定搭配,意为“对某事的方法/态度”,此处to为介词,后接名词music。故填to。
【43题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:郎朗的音乐天赋在很小的时候就被发现了。此空考查谓语动词,主语Lang’s musical talent与discover为被动关系,且at an early age表示过去的时间,应用一般过去时的被动语态;主语为不可数名词,be动词用was。故填was discovered。
【44题详解】
考查代词。句意:他早年接触中国民间音乐和西方古典音乐,塑造了他独特的风格,这后来为他赢得了全球声誉。此处作动词earned的宾语,应用人称代词宾格形式,he的宾格为him。故填him。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他的表演充满活力与激情,不断打破传统古典音乐的界限,证明艺术可以跨越文化和时间,将人们凝聚在一起。分析句子结构可知,此处考查非谓语,His performances与prove为主动关系,再由语境可知,应用现在分词proving作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果。故填proving。

My Story of Summer Social Practice
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One Possible Version:
Dear classmates,
This summer, I joined a volunteer program at a community center to teach senior citizens smartphone skills. First, I created simple handouts with step-by-step illustrations for tasks like video-calling family and ordering food online. During the sessions, I noticed many struggled with touchscreens, so I used real-life examples to explain functions. For instance, when teaching photo sharing, I showed them how to send pictures of their grandchildren. Though some took longer to grasp the concepts, their excitement when finally making a video call or ordering successfully made every effort worthwhile.
This experience taught me that patience is key in communication. It also made me realize that in our digital age, helping the elderly adapt isn’t just a favor — it’s a way to connect generations and spread warmth. The smiles on their faces were the best reward I could ask for.
Thank you!

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。
The blank canvas (画布) stared back at me, its whiteness scarier than any exam I’d ever taken. My fingers trembled as I held the paintbrush. “Remember, class,” Mrs. Larson’s voice echoed in my mind, “your final project should reflect your personal journey this semester.” I swallowed hard. Three months ago, I wouldn’t have dared to set foot in this room. Art had always been Mia’s territory (领地) — my best friend since third grade who could make magic happen with just a pencil and paper.
It all started on that rainy September afternoon in the library when I was drawing on my math notebook. Mia had picked it up before I could stop her. “Amazing Lily!” she said, her green eyes wide with genuine excitement. “The way you play with negative space (留白) ... you have to join art club!”
Now, as I looked at the pile of failed attempts beside me — a sunset that looked like a traffic light. I wondered if I’d made a terrible mistake. The Spring Art Exhibition was just two days away, and my confidence was fading faster than the cheap watercolors on my practice sheets. A soft knock stopped my thoughts. Mia popped her head in. “Still here?” She slid into the seat beside me, eyeing my latest failure. “You’re overthinking it,” she said gently. “Art isn’t about perfection. It’s about...”
“Expression, I know,” I finished for her, sighing. But how could I express what I didn’t even understand myself? The bell rang, signaling the end of after-school hours. Mia hesitated at the door. “Just...try painting how you feel, not what you see.”As her footsteps faded down the hallway, I turned back to the blank canvas. For the first time, I noticed how the afternoon sun streaming through the windows made the white surface shine like fresh snow. Taking a deep breath, I reached for the black paint.

Paragraph 2: Two days later, I was surprised to see so many people gathering around my work at the exhibition.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One Possible Version:
Paragraph 1:
The clock struck midnight as I finally stepped back from the painting stand. Before me stood a not technically perfect painting, but something far more honest — a cloud of dark blues and grays gradually giving way to warm yellows and oranges. In the center, a small but determined figure emerged, her outline formed by the negative space Mia always praised me for noticing. My hands, now covered with every color on the board, trembled not from nervousness but from the genuine emotion I’d poured onto that canvas. For the first time, I understood what Mrs. Larson meant by “personal journey.”
Paragraph 2:
Two days later, I was surprised to see so many people gathering around my work at the exhibition. A freshman girl pointed excitedly, “It’s like watching sunrise after a storm!” Mrs. Larson nodded thoughtfully, murmuring something about “authentic emotional expression” to the principal. Then I noticed Mia in the back, wiping her eyes while giving me two thumbs up. At that moment, surrounded by murmurs of appreciation, I realized art wasn’t about being the best — it was about finding the courage to share your unique perspective with the world. And maybe, just maybe, that was a lesson that applied to more than just painting.
