“When choosing a career, I’ve always believed that young people should seek what they truly love.” That’s exactly the path Moyun has taken. Moyun, a music influencer, gained fame by covering (翻唱) pop songs on the guzheng. Since 2014, her Bilibili uploads have earned millions of views.
Despite the overnight success, Moyun didn’t let it upset her life. “I was still a student at the time, and during those years focused on studying, the video’s sudden popularity didn’t really change my daily routine,” she recalled.
But the wave of positive comments from the audience greatly inspired her to follow her love for the guzheng. With this drive, Moyun has gained many fans by playing modern songs on the old guzheng and slowly created her own special way of mixing old and new music styles.
One standout example of her works is the cover of the Eagles’ Hotel California, which has gotten over 20 million views on YouTube. Many international viewers, after watching her videos, are amazed by her performances and often ask the same question: “What instrument is this? I’ve never seen it before.”
To Moyun, it’s unfortunate that the guzheng is not well-known outside of China. She thinks the common English translation for guzheng- “Chinese zither” -is not quite right. However, she is hopeful that this will change, especially as more young people in China seek to reconnect with their cultural roots.
“I believe that when we present the guzheng with cultural confidence on global stages, introducing it proudly by name, it will become the accepted universal term,” Moyun said.
Next Moyun plans to play modern songs from different types of music using the guzheng, challenging ideas about traditional Chinese instruments. With a focus on finger-style techniques and original compositions, she aims to expand what the guzheng can do. “Don’t limit yourself — explore more,” she said.
4. What did Moyun do after her sudden success?
A. She quit her studies. B. She changed her performing style.
C. She turned a professional. D. She went about her daily life as usual.
5. What makes Moyun’s music particularly special?
A. Having unique stage presence. B. Mixing traditional and modern styles.
C. Reaching global followers online. D. Focusing on covering classical music.
6. What does Moyun’s attitude to the term “Chinese zither” indicate?
A. She favors spreading Chinese culture confidently.
B. She regards the guzheng as a type of the zither
C. She credits the guzheng’s global fame to the term.
D. She hopes Chinese young people reconnect with western culture.
7. Which of the following best describes Moyun?
A Innovative. B. Honest. C. Considerate. D. Generous.
C
Beneath the quiet surface of a forest lies a busy network scientists call the “Wood Wide Web”. Far from being isolated individuals, trees communicate, share resources, and even send warnings through an underground system of fungi (真菌).
The key players in this hidden conversation are mycorrhizal fungi. These thread-like organisms connect tree roots, forming vast networks. Research from the University of British Columbia reveals that up to 90% of land plants depend on these fungi. Through this interdependent relationship, trees exchange nutrients like carbon and nitrogen. Older “mother trees” often act as hubs, sending extra sugars to younger saplings struggling in shaded areas — a phenomenon called “forest family connections”.
When under attack, trees release chemical signals. A 2023 study in Nature Ecology & Evolution demonstrates that acacia trees (金合欢树) bitten by giraffes produce ethylene (乙烯) gas. Nearby trees pick up these chemical signals from the air within minutes and increase tannin (鞣酸) production, making their leaves bitter and less tasty. Similarly, pine trees attacked by beetles send out warning signals through fungal networks, pushing neighbors to boost defensive resins (树脂).
Not all interactions are cooperative. Some plants, like the ghost orchid, hack the network to steal nutrients from nearby trees without offering anything in return. Other species, such as black walnut trees, release toxins (毒素) to restrain competitors — a strategy called “biological warfare” by ecologists.
Understanding this “social network” challenges traditional views of forests. Logging dominant mother trees can collapse entire ecosystems, much like removing servers from the Internet. Scientists now advocate for selective cutting practices that preserve fungal networks, ensuring forests’ resilience (适应力) to climate change.
As author Peter Wohlleben notes in The Hidden Life of Trees, “Forests are super-organisms with intelligence we’re just beginning to decode.” This silent dialogue beneath our feet reminds us that nature’s deepest conversations often happen without a single word.
8. What method do acacia trees use to warn nearby trees of giraffe feeding?
A Producing defensive resins in bark. B. Transmitting electrical signals through roots.
C. Releasing a warning gas into the air. D. Increasing sugar distribution via fungal networks.
9. What does “biological warfare” refer to in paragraph 4?
A. Using chemicals to kill insects. B. Releasing poisons to contain competitors.
C. Fighting for sunlight through height. D. Stealing nutrients via underground roots.
10. Why should mother trees be preserved according to scientists?
A. They attract diverse wildlife species. B. They offer young trees nutrients.
C. They battle against climate change. D. They maintain ecosystem stability.
11. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. The defensive strategies of trees. B. The cooperative interaction between trees.
C. The important role of mother trees. D. The hidden communication among trees.
D
In a new study, conducted by Ohio State University, researchers set out to explain why children often gather more information than they need to complete a task, exploring new ways to solve it even when they know the best solution and have done many times before.
“Children can’t seem to stop themselves from gathering more information than they need to complete a task, even when they know exactly what they need,” Vladimir Sloutsky, co-author of the study and professor of psychology at The Ohio State University said.
Sloutsky thought this might be because children’s brains aren’t mature enough to understand the task or pay proper attention, or because they lack the control to focus. But, to his surprise, he found that the most likely reason for this “over-exploring” is that working memory is not fully developed in children. Therefore, while adults can easily remember the best way to complete a task, children are forced to question their often correct memories and re-explore tasks they’ve done before.
Simply, children don’t hold information they need to complete a task in their memory for very long, the study suggests.
Speaking about one of the tasks children were asked to complete in the study, where they were asked to identify an animal by uncovering parts of a hidden picture of them, Sloutsky explained that even though it became obvious after a few tries that the tail was the easiest and quickest part to uncover in order to identify the animal, the kids “just kept uncovering more body parts before they made their choice.”
“The children learned that one body part will tell them what the creature is, but they may be concerned that they don’t remember correctly. Their working memory is still under development,” Sloutsky said. “They want to resolve this uncertainty by continuing to sample, by looking at other body parts to see if they line up with what they think.”
The children in the study were aged between four and six, with more research set to uncover exactly when children’s working memory improves and gives them the confidence to “act more like adults do” when it comes to completing tasks.
12. What likely explains kids’ over-exploring a completed task?
A. Their short-term attention. B. Their hunger for more knowledge.
C. Their underdeveloped memory. D. Their inability to understand the task.
13. What were children asked to do in the experiment?
A. Identify the tail of an animal. B. Confirm a creature by its body parts.
C. Uncover the picture on a creature. D. Choose the picture of a hidden animal.
14. How did the children perform in the experiment?
A. Really smart. B. Very flexible. C. Rather excited. D. Less confident.
15. What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. How Do Children Explore the World?
B. What Is behind Children’s Poor Memory?
C. Why Should We Inspire Children’s Curiosity?
D. Why Do Children Like “Useless” Information?
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填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There is a growing trend in medicine: doctors are prescribing time in nature to their patients to address a wide variety of physical and mental health concerns. These “nature prescriptions (处方)” aren’t just feel-good recommendations. ____16____
Scott Kaiser, MD, a director of geriatric cognitive health at the Pacific Neuroscience Institute, is one of these doctors. “Nature has a profound impact on healthy aging and overall well-being,” he explains. “There are several factors in healthy aging—diet, exercise, mindfulness, community, creativity and a sense of purpose. ____17____ I can’t overstate how powerful nature can be as a healer.”
Here are some common ways of natural healing. “Sensory walks” are an easy way to get started. Dr. Kaiser advises walking mindfully through nature while focusing on all five senses, paying attention to what you can see, smell, hear, touch and even taste. “Leave your gadgets at home,” he adds, “so you can be undistracted and really experience it all.”
Another prescription gaining popularity is cold therapy. ____18____ Immerse yourself in water that feels uncomfortably cold and stay there for 30 seconds to a minute. Most people start with water that’s about 10℃ to 15℃, though some go colder as their tolerance increases.
____19____ Try simply walking for 15 minutes in the early morning. Sunlight exposure boosts vitamin D, crucial for overall health. And getting early morning sunlight in your eyes will help refresh you.
Other simple prescriptions include gardening, hiking, biking or swimming. And if active pursuits feel like too much, even just sitting outdoors on a park bench can help, as it may improve your immune system and lower the risk of cancer. ____20____ Nature prescriptions can also lower stress, depression and anxiety while improving cognitive function.
A. The benefits extend beyond physical health.
B. But doctors suggest that it requires gradual adaptation.
C. This practice involves exposing yourself to cold water.
D. You’ll immediately be happier, healthier and more productive.
E. If that sounds too intense, nature offers gentler alternatives, too.
F. Instead, they’re evidence-based interventions backed by science.
G. Being outdoors can provide access to all of these at the same time.

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。
Amanda lived in a big modern city. Due to the high-speed development of economy, families from different backgrounds came here to find a better life. Amanda’s classmate and friend, Rama, was from one of those families.
One day after school, Amanda and Rama were chatting and Rama mentioned how much she missed her friends and hometown. “It is hard to leave,” Rama sighed, “but my family needed to be somewhere that is easier to make a living. Holding Rama’s hands, Amanda encouraged her to share more and she knew Rama loved to sing and dance with her friends back in her hometown.
After learning about Rama’s story, Amanda started to notice more students like Rama in her school. For the first time she realized that those students looked sad in their eyes. Sometimes because of their different accents, they couldn’t communicate well with others, which made them always sit or stand silently at the back of the classroom.
“They are having a hard time, we should show them kindness and love!” she told her mother one day. Amanda asked her mother what she could do to help make them feel welcome. Amanda’s mother suggested, “What about using art? Maybe it will be easier to communicate through art.” Amanda thought for a while and nodded. Like her friend Rama, Amanda loved all forms of art, like painting, singing, dancing, and performing, through which she could tell different stories about her family, and her life.
The next day, Amanda went to the Activity Center in her school and proposed her plan of an art show. The officer thought it a great idea. Inspired and excited, Amanda set about her plan with several friends. At the Activity Center they filled a room with paper, paint and pencils. They even made a small stage! Everything ready, they invited all the new students in her school and Amanda encouraged them to share something special about their hometown in any art form. To Amanda’s surprise, no one responded.
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。
Amazingly, Rama stepped forward to break the ice.

Everything seemed to change after that art show.

One standout example of her works is the cover of the Eagles’ Hotel California, which has gotten over 20 million views on YouTube. Many international viewers, after watching her videos, are amazed by her performances and often ask the same question: “What instrument is this? I’ve never seen it before.”
To Moyun, it’s unfortunate that the guzheng is not well-known outside of China. She thinks the common English translation for guzheng- “Chinese zither” -is not quite right. However, she is hopeful that this will change, especially as more young people in China seek to reconnect with their cultural roots.
“I believe that when we present the guzheng with cultural confidence on global stages, introducing it proudly by name, it will become the accepted universal term,” Moyun said.
Next, Moyun plans to play modern songs from different types of music using the guzheng, challenging ideas about traditional Chinese instruments. With a focus on finger-style techniques and original compositions, she aims to expand what the guzheng can do. “Don’t limit yourself — explore more,” she said.
4. What did Moyun do after her sudden success?
A. She quit her studies. B. She changed her performing style.
C. She turned a professional. D. She went about her daily life as usual.
5. What makes Moyun’s music particularly special?
A. Having unique stage presence. B. Mixing traditional and modern styles.
C. Reaching global followers online. D. Focusing on covering classical music.
6. What does Moyun’s attitude to the term “Chinese zither” indicate?
A. She favors spreading Chinese culture confidently.
B. She regards the guzheng as a type of the zither
C. She credits the guzheng’s global fame to the term.
D. She hopes Chinese young people reconnect with western culture.
7. Which of the following best describes Moyun?
A. Innovative. B. Honest. C. Considerate. D. Generous.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. A

Beneath the quiet surface of a forest lies a busy network scientists call the “Wood Wide Web”. Far from being isolated individuals, trees communicate, share resources, and even send warnings through an underground system of fungi (真菌).
The key players in this hidden conversation are mycorrhizal fungi. These thread-like organisms connect tree roots, forming vast networks. Research from the University of British Columbia reveals that up to 90% of land plants depend on these fungi. Through this interdependent relationship, trees exchange nutrients like carbon and nitrogen. Older “mother trees” often act as hubs, sending extra sugars to younger saplings struggling in shaded areas — a phenomenon called “forest family connections”.
When under attack, trees release chemical signals. A 2023 study in Nature Ecology & Evolution demonstrates that acacia trees (金合欢树) bitten by giraffes produce ethylene (乙烯) gas. Nearby trees pick up these chemical signals from the air within minutes and increase tannin (鞣酸) production, making their leaves bitter and less tasty. Similarly, pine trees attacked by beetles send out warning signals through fungal networks, pushing neighbors to boost defensive resins (树脂).
Not all interactions are cooperative. Some plants, like the ghost orchid, hack the network to steal nutrients from nearby trees without offering anything in return. Other species, such as black walnut trees, release toxins (毒素) to restrain competitors — a strategy called “biological warfare” by ecologists.
Understanding this “social network” challenges traditional views of forests. Logging dominant mother trees can collapse entire ecosystems, much like removing servers from the Internet. Scientists now advocate for selective cutting practices that preserve fungal networks, ensuring forests’ resilience (适应力) to climate change.
As author Peter Wohlleben notes in The Hidden Life of Trees, “Forests are super-organisms with intelligence we’re just beginning to decode.” This silent dialogue beneath our feet reminds us that nature’s deepest conversations often happen without a single word.
8. What method do acacia trees use to warn nearby trees of giraffe feeding?
A. Producing defensive resins in bark. B. Transmitting electrical signals through roots.
C. Releasing a warning gas into the air. D. Increasing sugar distribution via fungal networks.
9. What does “biological warfare” refer to in paragraph 4?
A. Using chemicals to kill insects. B. Releasing poisons to contain competitors.
C. Fighting for sunlight through height. D. Stealing nutrients via underground roots.
10. Why should mother trees be preserved according to scientists?
A. They attract diverse wildlife species. B. They offer young trees nutrients.
C. They battle against climate change. D. They maintain ecosystem stability.
11. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. The defensive strategies of trees. B. The cooperative interaction between trees.
C. The important role of mother trees. D. The hidden communication among trees.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了森林中被科学家称为“树木网络”的地下真菌网络系统。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“A 2023 study in Nature Ecology & Evolution demonstrates that acacia trees (金合欢树) bitten by giraffes produce ethylene (乙烯) gas. Nearby trees pick up these chemical signals from the air within minutes and increase tannin (鞣酸) production, making their leaves bitter and less tasty. (2023年《自然•生态与进化》上的一项研究表明,被长颈鹿啃食的金合欢树会产生乙烯气体。附近的树木会在几分钟内从空气中接收到这些化学信号,并增加鞣酸的产生,使它们的叶子变得更苦且口感变差。)”可知,金合欢树是通过向空气中释放乙烯这种警告气体来提醒附近树木有长颈鹿在进食。故选C项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Not all interactions are cooperative. Some plants, like the ghost orchid, hack the network to steal nutrients from nearby trees without offering anything in return. Other species, such as black walnut trees, release toxins (毒素) to restrain competitors (并非所有的互动都是合作性的。有些植物,比如幽灵兰花,会利用网络从附近的树木中窃取养分,却不给予任何回报。其他物种,如黑胡桃树,则会释放毒素来抑制竞争对手)”可推理出,biological warfare指的是释放毒素来抑制竞争对手。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Logging dominant mother trees can collapse entire ecosystems, much like removing servers from the Internet. (砍伐占主导地位的母树可能会使整个生态系统崩溃,这就好比从互联网中移除服务器一样。)”可知,科学家认为应该保护母树是因为它们能维持生态系统的稳定。故选D项。
11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Beneath the quiet surface of a forest lies a busy network scientists call the ‘Wood Wide Web’. Far from being isolated individuals, trees communicate, share resources, and even send warnings through an underground system of fungi (真菌). (在安静的森林表面下,隐藏着一个繁忙的网络,科学家称之为“森林万维网”。树木不是孤立的个体,而是通过真菌的地下系统交流、共享资源,甚至发出警告。)”和最后一段中的“This silent dialogue beneath our feet reminds us that nature’s deepest conversations often happen without a single word. (我们脚下的这种无声对话提醒我们,自然界最深刻的交流往往无需一言半语。)”可知,文章开篇就提到森林中存在被称为“树木网络”的地下真菌网络,树木通过它进行无声交流、共享资源。由此可知,这篇文章的主旨是树木之间隐藏的交流。故选D项。
D
In a new study conducted by Ohio State University, researchers set out to explain why children often gather more information than they need to complete a task, exploring new ways to solve it even when they know the best solution and have done many times before.
“Children can’t seem to stop themselves from gathering more information than they need to complete a task, even when they know exactly what they need,” Vladimir Sloutsky, co-author of the study and professor of psychology at The Ohio State University said.
Sloutsky thought this might be because children’s brains aren’t mature enough to understand the task or pay proper attention, or because they lack the control to focus. But, to his surprise, he found that the most likely reason for this “over-exploring” is that working memory is not fully developed in children. Therefore, while adults can easily remember the best way to complete a task, children are forced to question their often correct memories and re-explore tasks they’ve done before.
Simply, children don’t hold information they need to complete a task in their memory for very long, the study suggests.
Speaking about one of the tasks children were asked to complete in the study, where they were asked to identify an animal by uncovering parts of a hidden picture of them, Sloutsky explained that even though it became obvious after a few tries that the tail was the easiest and quickest part to uncover in order to identify the animal, the kids “just kept uncovering more body parts before they made their choice.”
“The children learned that one body part will tell them what the creature is, but they may be concerned that they don’t remember correctly. Their working memory is still under development,” Sloutsky said. “They want to resolve this uncertainty by continuing to sample, by looking at other body parts to see if they line up with what they think.”
The children in the study were aged between four and six, with more research set to uncover exactly when children’s working memory improves and gives them the confidence to “act more like adults do” when it comes to completing tasks.
12. What likely explains kids’ over-exploring a completed task?
A. Their short-term attention. B. Their hunger for more knowledge.
C. Their underdeveloped memory. D. Their inability to understand the task.
13. What were children asked to do in the experiment?
A. Identify the tail of an animal. B. Confirm a creature by its body parts.
C. Uncover the picture on a creature. D. Choose the picture of a hidden animal.
14. How did the children perform in the experiment?
A. Really smart. B. Very flexible. C. Rather excited. D. Less confident.
15. What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. How Do Children Explore the World?
B. What Is behind Children’s Poor Memory?
C. Why Should We Inspire Children’s Curiosity?
D. Why Do Children Like “Useless” Information?
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。一项新的研究解释了为什么孩子们会“过度探索”,即使他们知道最好的解决方案并且以前已经做过很多次了,也会探索新的解决方法。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But, to his surprise, he found that the most likely reason for this “over-exploring” is that working memory is not fully developed in children.(但令他惊讶的是,他发现造成这种“过度探索”现象的最主要原因在于儿童的短期记忆能力尚未完全发育成熟)”可知,孩子们过度探索已完成任务的信息是因为他们的工作记忆尚未完全发展。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Speaking about one of the tasks children were asked to complete in the study, where they were asked to identify an animal by uncovering parts of a hidden picture of them, Sloutsky explained that even though it became obvious after a few tries that the tail was the easiest and quickest part to uncover in order to identify the animal, the kids “just kept uncovering more body parts before they made their choice.”(谈到该研究中孩子们被要求完成的一项任务——他们需要通过揭开隐藏图片中的部分来辨认出所描述的动物时,斯洛茨基解释说,尽管经过几次尝试后人们很快就明白,要辨认出动物,最容易且最快捷的部分就是尾巴,但孩子们“在做出选择之前,还是不断揭开更多的身体部位。”)”可知,在实验中孩子们被要求通过揭开隐藏的动物照片的一部分来识别动物。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“They want to resolve this uncertainty by continuing to sample, by looking at other body parts to see if they line up with what they think.(他们希望通过持续采样以及观察其他身体部位来解决这一不确定性,看看这些部位是否与他们的预期相符)”以及最后一段“The children in the study were aged between four and six, with more research set to uncover exactly when children’s working memory improves and gives them the confidence to “act more like adults do” when it comes to completing tasks.(该研究中的儿童年龄在 4 至 6 岁之间,接下来还将开展更多研究,以确切查明儿童的工作记忆何时会得到提升,并使他们能够“在完成任务时表现得更像成年人那样”)”可知,孩子们因为信心不足而不断地反复查看以获得更多信息。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In a new study, conducted by Ohio State University, researchers set out to explain why children often gather more information than they need to complete a task, exploring new ways to solve it even when they know the best solution and have done many times before.(在一项由俄亥俄州立大学开展的新研究中,研究人员试图解释为何孩子们在完成任务时往往会获取超出所需范围的信息,即便他们已经知晓最佳解决方案并且之前也多次使用过该方法)”以及文章主要解释了一种现象:即为什么孩子们经常收集比完成任务所需的更多的信息,即使他们确切地知道自己需要什么。因此D选项“为何孩子们会喜欢那些“无用”的信息?”适合作文章标题。故选D。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There is a growing trend in medicine: doctors are prescribing time in nature to their patients to address a wide variety of physical and mental health concerns. These “nature prescriptions (处方)” aren’t just feel-good recommendations. ____16____
Scott Kaiser, MD, a director of geriatric cognitive health at the Pacific Neuroscience Institute, is one of these doctors. “Nature has a profound impact on healthy aging and overall well-being,” he explains. “There are several factors in healthy aging—diet, exercise, mindfulness, community, creativity and a sense of purpose. ____17____ I can’t overstate how powerful nature can be as a healer.”
Here are some common ways of natural healing. “Sensory walks” are an easy way to get started. Dr. Kaiser advises walking mindfully through nature while focusing on all five senses, paying attention to what you can see, smell, hear, touch and even taste. “Leave your gadgets at home,” he adds, “so you can be undistracted and really experience it all.”
Another prescription gaining popularity is cold therapy. ____18____ Immerse yourself in water that feels uncomfortably cold and stay there for 30 seconds to a minute. Most people start with water that’s about 10℃ to 15℃, though some go colder as their tolerance increases.
____19____ Try simply walking for 15 minutes in the early morning. Sunlight exposure boosts vitamin D, crucial for overall health. And getting early morning sunlight in your eyes will help refresh you.
Other simple prescriptions include gardening, hiking, biking or swimming. And if active pursuits feel like too much, even just sitting outdoors on a park bench can help, as it may improve your immune system and lower the risk of cancer. ____20____ Nature prescriptions can also lower stress, depression and anxiety while improving cognitive function.
A. The benefits extend beyond physical health.
B. But doctors suggest that it requires gradual adaptation.
C. This practice involves exposing yourself to cold water.
D. You’ll immediately be happier, healthier and more productive.
E. If that sounds too intense, nature offers gentler alternatives, too.
F. Instead, they’re evidence-based interventions backed by science.
G. Being outdoors can provide access to all of these at the same time.
【答案】16. F 17. G 18. C 19. E 20. A
【解析】

根据前文“There are several factors in healthy aging—diet, exercise, mindfulness, community, creativity and a sense of purpose.( 健康老龄化有几个因素 —— 饮食、运动、正念、归属感、创造力和目标感。)”提到健康老龄化有几个因素,G选项“Being outdoors can provide access to all of these at the same time.( 在户外可以同时获得所有这些。)”这里的“all of these”指代前面提到的健康老龄化的几个因素,说明户外对健康老龄化的作用,符合语境。故选G项。
【18题详解】
根据前文“Another prescription gaining popularity is cold therapy.( 另一种越来越受欢迎的处方是冷疗法。)”提到冷疗法。C选项“This practice involves exposing yourself to cold water.( 这种做法包括让自己暴露在冷水中。)”“This practice”指代冷疗法,具体说明了冷疗法是让自己接触冷水,符合语境。故选C项。
【19题详解】
根据前文“Most people start with water that’s about 10℃ to 15℃, though some go colder as their tolerance increases.( 大多数人从10到15摄氏度的水开始,尽管有些人随着耐受性的增加而变得更冷。)”介绍了冷疗法这种相对较强烈的方式,后面提到“Try simply walking for 15 minutes in the early morning.( 试试在清晨简单地步行 15 分钟。)”这是比较温和的方式,E 选项“If that sounds too intense, nature offers gentler alternatives, too.( 如果那听起来太强烈了,大自然也提供了更温和的选择。)”起到承上启下的作用,符合语境。故选E项。
【20题详解】
根据后文“Nature prescriptions can also lower stress, depression and anxiety while improving cognitive function.( 自然处方还可以减轻压力、抑郁和焦虑,同时提高认知功能。)”这是在说自然处方对心理健康方面的好处,A 选项“The benefits extend beyond physical health.( 好处不仅仅局限于身体健康。)”说明自然处方的好处不仅在身体方面,还延伸到心理等其他方面,符合语境。故选A项。

【答案】范文
Is It Necessary to Have a Gap Year Before College?
The topic of whether high school graduates should take a gap year has sparked heated debate. Personally, I believe that a well-structured gap year can be highly beneficial, provided that it is used purposefully.
There are several reasons why I support this choice. First, by engaging in internships or volunteer work, students can gain practical experience, which helps them make informed decisions about their future careers. Second, traveling or learning new skills during this period not only broadens their horizons but also enhances their adaptability. However, without clear goals, a gap year might lead to wasted time or even a loss of academic momentum.
In conclusion, while a gap year offers valuable opportunities for growth, its success depends on careful planning and self-discipline. 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。
Amanda lived in a big modern city. Due to the high-speed development of economy, families from different backgrounds came here to find a better life. Amanda’s classmate and friend, Rama, was from one of those families.
One day after school, Amanda and Rama were chatting and Rama mentioned how much she missed her friends and hometown. “It is hard to leave,” Rama sighed, “but my family needed to be somewhere that is easier to make a living. Holding Rama’s hands, Amanda encouraged her to share more and she knew Rama loved to sing and dance with her friends back in her hometown.
After learning about Rama’s story, Amanda started to notice more students like Rama in her school. For the first time she realized that those students looked sad in their eyes. Sometimes because of their different accents, they couldn’t communicate well with others, which made them always sit or stand silently at the back of the classroom.
“They are having a hard time, we should show them kindness and love!” she told her mother one day. Amanda asked her mother what she could do to help make them feel welcome. Amanda’s mother suggested, “What about using art? Maybe it will be easier to communicate through art.” Amanda thought for a while and nodded. Like her friend Rama, Amanda loved all forms of art, like painting, singing, dancing, and performing, through which she could tell different stories about her family, and her life.
The next day, Amanda went to the Activity Center in her school and proposed her plan of an art show. The officer thought it a great idea. Inspired and excited, Amanda set about her plan with several friends. At the Activity Center they filled a room with paper, paint and pencils. They even made a small stage! Everything ready, they invited all the new students in her school and Amanda encouraged them to share something special about their hometown in any art form. To Amanda’s surprise, no one responded.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Amazingly, Rama stepped forward to break the ice. She introduced herself to all of us formally on the stage, including her name, her hometown, her interests and so on. Following is her beautiful and amazing dance. As she was dancing, another student called Mike, began to play the violin as her background music. Such a shy and silent boy is he that they never know he is good at playing the violin. Students off the stage clapped their hands loudly as the final note ended. And then, they began to come to the stage and share their stories one by one. The art show lasted for two hours that day and everyone enjoyed it so much.
Everything seemed to change after that art show. They began to communicate with others and make new friends. Besides they took part in the class and school activities actively, which made them integrate into the new class and school better.
