Some beaches are perfect for relaxing, while others offer activities like hiking and water sports. Visit these beautiful beaches for an unforgettable vacation.
Cannon Beach
If your perfect beach vacation spot features postcard-worthy scenery and peace, look no further than Cannon Beach. In this Pacific Northwest town, you can even build a fire on the beach to relax beside while watching the sun set. When you need a break from the beach, grab a bike and head downtown to explore its art galleries, shops and restaurants.
Horseshoe Bay Beach
For a one-of-a-kind beach experience, head to Horseshoe Bay Beach on Bermuda’s South Shore.

Adventure seekers can also take part in the self-guided island bicycle tour or engage in exciting water sports.
Mohegan Bluffs
This beach is famous for its natural beauty. Upon arrival, pause to admire your surroundings and learn about its ties to the native people, their ancient traditions, and connection to the land, adding depth to your beach experience. Then, take the 141 steps down to the sand to sunbathe. After that, climb back up to visit the Southeast Light for an up-close view of its 18th-century lighthouse.
South Beach
This tropical district on Florida’s Atlantic Coast is world-renowned for its powdery white sand. Although technically part of the Miami Beach area, South Beach stands out due to its Art Deco architecture seen in everything from the beachfront lifeguard towers to the high-rise buildings along the famed Ocean Drive.

Last September, I visited a protected wetland near my home. Though I’d used binoculars (望远镜), field guides and song identification apps all summer while hiking, this was the first time I only watched birds.
I’ve always cared about birds and have written about them as a science writer, but the moment I decided with purpose to devote time and energy to bird-watching marked my transformation into a birder. Seven months later, I’ve seen 452 species, learned dozens of calls, tracked rare birds, and even went looking for owls at night.
I didn’t start from zero. My career spent writing about nature taught me about the habitats; journalism allowed me to quickly familiarize myself with new topics and new people. I crowdsourced tips on social media platforms and went out with experienced birders. I used tools available to beginners.
Many regard birding as just turning lives into checklist numbers, but even that is harder without knowledge. To find the birds, you have to know them. And in doing that, much else falls into space.
Birding has boosted my time outdoors, pushing me to explore my neighborhood in ways I never would have: amazing hot spots in industrial areas, wastewater treatment plants, and random parks. I seem imperious to heat, cold, hunger, and thirst. My mind quiets, focusing only on the present.
I also feel a much deeper connection to nature which I’ve long written about but always remained slightly distant from. Every bird I meet gives color and sound to the facts I once knew only from books. Birds I assumed lived far away — golden eagles, cranes — have all appeared within an hour of my house.
People call birding an escape from reality. I reject that. Instead, I see it as involvement with the true reality. I don’t need to know social media drama when I can spend an hour hunting for a rare bird. The choice is obvious.
Spring is coming. New birds will soon flood the Bay Area. I can’t wait.
4. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A. When the author became a birder. B. The author’s early interest in birding.
C. An ideal destination for new birders. D. A memorable birding trip without tools.
5. What does the author emphasize in paragraph 3?
A. Why new birders can never start from zero. B. How prior skills have aided his/ her birding.
C. The difficulties of birding without guidance. D. The use of effective bird identification tools.
6. What does the underlined phrase “imperious to” mean in paragraph 5?
A. extremely afraid of. B. Strongly opposed to.
C. easily contented with. D. completely unaffected by.
7. What is the author’s main message?
A. Birding is an escape from reality. B. Technology kills real experience.
C. Simple joys like birding enrich life. D. Hobbies require a lot of knowledge.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己从一名科学写作者转变为真正的观鸟爱好者的经历,强调了观鸟带来的乐趣、知识积累和对自然更深层次的连接,表达了作者对自然生活的热爱和对“真实现实”的追求。
【4题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“This was the first time I only watched birds.(这是我第一次只是单纯地观察鸟类)”以及第二段“I’ve always cared about birds and have written about them as a science writer, but the moment I decided with purpose to devote time and energy to bird- watching marked my transformation into a birder.(我一直对鸟类很感兴趣,并且作为一名科学作家也写过相关文章,但当我下定决心专门投入时间和精力去观察鸟类的时候,这标志着我正式成为了鸟类爱好者)”可知,整段的重点在于作者成为一名观鸟者的时间和契机。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“I didn’t start from zero. My career spent writing about nature taught me about the habitats; journalism allowed me to quickly familiarize myself with new topics and new people. I crowdsourced tips on social media plat forms and went out with experienced birders.(我并非从零开始。我的职业生涯一直致力于关于自然的报道工作,这让我对各种栖息地有了深入的了解;而新闻工作则让我能够迅速熟悉新的主题和新的人物。我通过社交媒体平台收集相关建议,并与有经验的观鸟者一同外出观察)”可知,这些已有的技能如何支持了他的观鸟活动。故选B。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段“My mind quiets, focusing only on the present.(我的思绪平静下来,只专注于当下)”可推知,作者在观鸟时完全沉浸在当下,不受天气、饥渴等影响,由此可判断“impervious to”意为“完全不受……影响的”。故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“People call birding an escape from reality. I reject that. Instead, I see it as engagement with the true reality.(人们把观鸟称作是对现实世界的逃离。但我却不这么认为。在我看来,观鸟其实是一种与真实世界紧密相连的体验)”和最后一段“Spring is coming. New birds will soon flood the Bay Area. I can’t wait.(春天就要来了。新的鸟类很快就会涌入旧金山湾区。我迫不及待地想要见到它们了)”可知,作者认为观鸟不是逃避现实,而是一种接触真实生活的方式,同时也表达了对自然的热爱和期待。因此,文章的主旨是强调像观鸟这样简单的爱好可以丰富我们的生活。故选C。
C
Just as damaged teeth can be replaced with gold crowns (齿冠), scientists are exploring how gold can be used to repair damaged parts of the brain.
Scientists at Linkoping University in Sweden said that a “brain of gold” might just be what we need to fight nervous system diseases. The plan is to put gold electrodes (电极) into the affected part of the brain. They will act as “telephone operators” between nerve cells and electronic medical devices, enabling communication so that the nervous system can function normally.
Treatment plans that involve connecting medical devices to the brain already exist. However, the electrodes used are usually made of hard metals, while the brain is like a jelly that “shakes” at the body’s slightest movement.
“As the body is constantly in motion, achieving close contact between something that is hard and something that is soft and breakable becomes a problem,” explained Klas Tybrandt, one of the scientists.
This is why the Swedish scientists are using a new material called “gold nanowires” (金纳米线). As the name suggests, these are long, extremely thin gold threads — 1,000 times thinner than human hair. By putting them into rubber, the scientists have successfully created electrodes that are soft enough to connect comfortably with the human brain.
Gold can be made into structures as small as nanowires. According to Live Science, gold can be stretched, pressed or even rolled into all kinds of shapes without breaking. What’s more, gold doesn’t react with other chemicals in the human brain, making it a safe choice. Once placed in the brain, gold nanowires can last for at least three years, which is longer than many materials currently in use.
8. What role will gold electrodes play in treating nervous system diseases?
A. Replacing damaged nerve cells. B. Serving as a communication link.
C. Activating different brain regions. D. Protecting the brain’s unaffected parts.
9. What can we learn about gold nanowires?
A. They are harder than rubber. B. They are as thin as human hair.
C. They can be placed into the brain. D. They are in the final stage of development.
10. Why is gold a safe choice for use in the brain?
A. It can be stretched by the brain. B. It can be made into various shapes.
C. It is being used to create soft electrodes. D. It has no negative impact on the brain’s functions.
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The unique properties of gold nanowires.
B. The history of gold use in the medical field.
C. The current applications of gold in the brain.
D. The potential use of gold in nervous system treatment.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是瑞典Linkoping大学的科学家们正在探索如何使用黄金来修复大脑受损部分,以对抗神经系统疾病。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The plan is to put gold electrodes (电极) into the affected part of the brain. They will act as “telephone operators” between nerve cells and electronic medical devices, enabling communication so that the nervous system can function normally.(该计划是将金电极放入大脑受影响的部分。它们将充当神经细胞和电子医疗设备之间的‘电话接线员’,使神经系统能够正常运作。)”可知,金电极在治疗神经系统疾病方面的作用是作为通信连接。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“This is why the Swedish scientists are using a new material called “gold nanowires” (金纳米线). As the name suggests, these are long, extremely thin gold threads — 1,000 times thinner than human hair. By putting them into rubber, the scientists have successfully created electrodes that are soft enough to connect comfortably with the human brain.(这就是为什么瑞典科学家使用一种名为“金纳米线”的新材料。顾名思义,这些都是又长又细的金线,比人的头发细1000倍。通过将它们放入橡胶中,科学家们成功地制造出了足够柔软的电极,可以舒适地与人类大脑连接。)”以及最后一段“Once placed in the brain, gold nanowires can last for at least three years, which is longer than many materials currently in use.(一旦植入大脑,金纳米线可以持续使用至少三年,这比目前使用的许多材料都要长。)”可知,金纳米线比人的头发细1000倍、可以被植入大脑。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“What’s more, gold doesn’t react with other chemicals in the human brain, making it a safe choice.(更重要的是,黄金不会与人脑中的其他化学物质发生反应,因此它是一个安全的选择。)”可知,大脑中使用黄金是安全的选择是因为它对大脑功能没有负面影响。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Just as damaged teeth can be replaced with gold crowns (齿冠), scientists are exploring how gold can be used to repair damaged parts of the brain.(就像损坏的牙齿可以用金冠代替一样,科学家们正在探索如何用黄金来修复大脑受损的部分。)”可知,本文主要讲的是瑞典Linkoping University的科学家们正在探索如何使用黄金来修复大脑受损部分,以对抗神经系统疾病,因此D选项“The potential use of gold in nervous system treatment.(黄金在神经系统治疗中的潜在应用。)”能够概括文章主旨。故选D。
D
While we might like to think we would rush to someone’s assistance we know from studies that often people hang back and this can have tragic consequences.
One of the most famous examples of this is the tragic case of Kitty Genovese who was fatally stabbed (刺伤) in Kew Gardens, New York, in 1964. Subsequent investigations concluded that several people saw or heard what was happening, but did nothing to intervene. This has been termed the “bystander effect” — a well-known psychological phenomenon where individuals are less likely to offer help to someone when other people are present. The more people there are, the less likely they are to help.
There are various factors contributing to this effect — people think that others will get involved or intervene. Afterwards people often say they did not feel qualified or senior or important enough to be the one to intervene. It is also partly down to “pluralistic (多元化的) ignorance” — since everyone is not reacting to the emergency, they don’t need to either; it’s not serious because no one else is doing anything. After a serious incident where people have been affected by the bystander effect, they are often so horrified that they didn’t do anything — they can’t believe they had not realized it was more serious or that they didn’t think to get involved.
The important thing to understand though is that other studies have shown that once people are aware of the bystander effect, they are less likely to be affected by it. Self-awareness is the best approach to it. When confronted with an emergency, think to yourself how you would behave if you were on your own. Ignore everyone else and how they are behaving and go with your courage — if you’d call an ambulance, do it. If you’d run for help, do it. If that’s how you would have behaved when you were on your own, then that’s probably the right course of action.
12. Why does the author mention “the tragic case of Kitty Genovese” in paragraph 2?
A. To present a fact. B. To confirm a finding.
C. To predict a conclusion. D. To illustrate an approach.
13. Influenced by the bystander effect, people may ________.
A. feel confident to intervene.
B. tend to help people in need.
C. be well aware of bad consequences.
D. feel shocked after a serious incident.
14. What does the author suggest people do when faced with an emergency?
A. Think twice. B. Follow others.
C. Step in at once. D. Take action cautiously.
15. What can be inferred from the awareness of the bystander effect and people’s helping behavior?
A. Awareness eliminates the possibility of people being influenced by the effect.
B. Awareness reduces the likelihood that people will hold back from helping.
C. Awareness makes people overestimate their ability to handle emergencies.
D. Awareness leads people to rely more on others’ reactions in emergencies.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了“旁观者效应”这一心理现象及其产生原因,并给出了应对方法。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“One of the most famous examples of this is the tragic case of Kitty Genovese who was fatally stabbed (刺伤) in Kew Gardens, New York, in 1964. Subsequent investigations concluded that several people saw or heard what was happening, but did nothing to intervene. This has been termed the “bystander effect” — a well-known psychological phenomenon where individuals are less likely to offer help to someone when other people are present. The more people there are, the less likely they are to help.(其中最著名的例子就是1964年发生在纽约基尤花园的Kitty Genovese遇害案,她被残忍刺伤致死。随后的调查得出结论,当时有几个人目睹或听闻了正在发生的事情,但都没有采取任何干预行动。这一现象被称为“旁观者效应”——这是一种广为人知的心理现象,即当有其他人在场时,个体向他人提供帮助的可能性会降低。在场的人越多,他们提供帮助的可能性就越小。)”可知,作者提到“Kitty Genovese的悲剧案例”是为了确认一个发现,即“旁观者效应”。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“After a serious incident where people have been affected by the bystander effect, they are often so horrified that they didn’t do anything — they can’t believe they had not realized it was more serious or that they didn’t think to get involved.(在一场严重事件中,人们受到旁观者效应的影响后,往往会因为自己什么都没做而感到震惊——他们不敢相信自己没有意识到事情的严重性,或者没有想到要参与进来。)”可知,受旁观者效应的影响,人们在经历严重事件后会感到震惊。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“When confronted with an emergency, think to yourself how you would behave if you were on your own. Ignore everyone else and how they are behaving and go with your courage—if you’d call an ambulance, do it. If you’d run for help, do it.(当遇到紧急情况时,想想如果你独自一人会怎么做。忽略其他人以及他们的行为,勇敢地去做——如果你会叫救护车,那就叫。如果你要跑去求助,那就去。)”可知,作者建议人们在遇到紧急情况时立即采取行动。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The important thing to understand though is that other studies have shown that once people are aware of the bystander effect, they are less likely to be affected by it.(但重要的是要明白,其他研究表明,一旦人们意识到旁观者效应,他们就不太可能受到影响。)”可推知,对旁观者效应的认识减少了人们退缩不帮助的可能性。故选B。
第二节 七选五 (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。
Nowadays, meaningfully connecting with new people is no mean achievement. From the decline of the office to the rise of single-occupancy flats, our social lives are being taken away from us. ____16____ Their ads promote the safety and convenience of staying home and not seeing or talking to another human.
It wasn’t always like this. ____17____ You’ll see cafes and nightclubs and buses and trains filled with life and conversation. People talk to one another. Loudly and proudly, they just talk. ____18____ So, I tried it out on everyone I met, from neighbors and shopkeepers to hospitality workers and groups of strangers in cafes and pubs.
____19____ I remember being attracted into one of Gail’s bakeries by the background music they played. I walked over to the baker. I pointed upwards. “Are you guys responsible for this playlist?” A nod. “Ah, great, love it” He smiles thinly and nods a polite “goodbye”, which everyone knows means: “GO AWAY IMMEDIATELY, PLEASE.”
Yet persistence paid off when the ice was finally broken by Graham, a fellow resident of my little neighborhood. We got chatting one day while he was smoking on his doorstep. I mentioned being a writer, and he paused, taking a long drag on his cigarette, and said, “Words are to the mind what exercise is to the body.” That profound insight immediately opened a channel between us. ____20____ Those encounters, born from a conscious effort to connect, have gradually woven warmth and familiarity into the fabric of my daily life.
A. Look at photos of city life in the 90s or 00s.
B. My first interaction experiment didn’t go so well.
C. Online platforms offer new ways to bond more closely.
D. What better way to make social connections than this?
E. My first attempt with the baker worked out as planned.
F. Then, conversations with strangers become a regular occurrence.
G. Meanwhile, streaming services and food-delivery apps discourage us from going out.
【答案】16. G 17. A 18. D 19. B 20. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者在现代社会中尝试与陌生人建立联系的经历。文章通过对比过去和现在的社交环境,描述了作者如何主动打破僵局、开启对话,并最终在生活中融入更多温暖的人际互动。
【16题详解】
根据上文“From the decline of the office to the rise of single - occupancy flats, our social lives are being taken away from us.(从办公室的减少到单人公寓的兴起,我们的社交生活正被剥夺)”以及下文“Their ads promote the safety and convenience of staying home and not seeing or talking to another human.(它们的广告宣扬待在家里、不与他人见面或交谈的安全性和便利性)”可知,上文提到了我们的社交生活正被剥夺,下文提到了广告宣扬待在家里、不与他人见面或交谈的安全性和便利性,可推理出空白处应提及另一个导致人们减少社交、不愿外出的因素,G项“Meanwhile, streaming services and food-delivery apps discourage us from going out.(与此同时,流媒体服务和外卖应用阻止我们外出)”符合语境,故填G项。
【17题详解】
根据上文“It wasn’t always like this.(事情并不总是这样的)”以及下文“You’ll see cafes and nightclubs and buses and trains filled with life and conversation.(你会看到咖啡馆、夜总会、公交车和火车上充满了生机和交谈)”可知,下文提到了咖啡馆、夜总会、公交车和火车上充满了生机和交谈,可推理出此处是要展现过去不同的社交场景,A项“Look at photos of city life in the 90s or 00s.(看看 90 年代或 00 年代的城市生活照片)”能够引出下文描述的过去的热闹景象,符合逻辑。故填A项。
【18题详解】
根据上文“People talk to one another. Loudly and proudly, they just talk.(人们彼此交谈。他们大声而自豪地交谈着)”以及下文“So, I tried it out on everyone I met, from neighbors and shopkeepers to hospitality workers and groups of strangers in cafes and pubs (于是,我便试着与遇到的每个人打交道,从邻居、店主到咖啡馆和酒吧里的服务人员以及成群的陌生人)”可知,上文提到了人们彼此交谈,下文提到了我便试着与遇到的每个人打交道,可推理出作者受过去人们轻松交谈的启发,想要尝试这种社交方式,D项“What better way to make social connections than this?(还有什么比这更好的建立社交联系的方式呢?)”既肯定了过去那种交谈方式在社交上的作用,也自然引出了下文作者的尝试,符合语境。故填D项。
【19题详解】
根据下文“I remember being attracted into one of Gail’s bakeries by the background music they played. I walked over to the baker. I pointed upwards. “Are you guys responsible for this playlist?” A nod. “Ah, great, love it” He smiles thinly and nods a polite “goodbye”, which everyone knows means: “GO AWAY IMMEDIATELY, PLEASE.”(我记得当时被盖尔烘焙坊播放的背景音乐所吸引,便走了过去。我朝上指了指,问道:‘这首歌单是你们选的吗?’对方点了点头。‘太好了,很喜欢!’他淡淡地笑了笑,礼貌地点了下头算是道别——而人人都明白这意思其实是:‘请立刻离开!’)”可知,这次互动并不顺利,B项“My first interaction experiment didn’t go so well.(我的第一次互动实验进展不太顺利)”能够概括这段经历,引出下文具体内容。故填B项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Yet persistence paid off when the ice was finally broken by Graham, a fellow resident of my little neighborhood. We got chatting one day while he was smoking on his doorstep. I mentioned being a writer, and he paused, taking a long drag on his cigarette, and said, “Words are to the mind what exercise is to the body.” That profound insight immediately opened a channel between us (然而,我的坚持终于得到了回报,我的邻居格雷厄姆终于打破了僵局。有一天,当他在家门口抽烟时,我们聊了起来。我提到自己是个作家,他停顿了一下,深深地吸了一口烟,说:‘语言之于心灵,犹如运动之于身体。’这句深刻的见解立刻在我们之间开辟了一条通道)”可知,此处描述了作者与邻居格雷厄姆成功交流的经历,结合下文“Those encounters, born from a conscious effort to connect, have gradually woven warmth and familiarity into the fabric of my daily life.(这些出于有意识的联系而产生的相遇,逐渐为我的日常生活编织出了温暖和熟悉)”可知,此处表示作者与他人的交流逐渐变得频繁,可推理出此处说的是与Graham的交流打开了局面后,与陌生人的交流变得常态化了,F项“Then, conversations with strangers become a regular occurrence.(然后,与陌生人的交谈变成了常事)”符合语境,承接上文并引出下文对这些相遇的总结。故填F项。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)

阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Years ago, as a young business reporter, I interviewed an advertising executive. I was there to ask about the latest ____21____. But when I sat down, he wanted to talk about writing fiction. He spent hours meeting with clients and crafting slogans, but he dreamed of being a(n) ____22____ instead.
A decade or so later, however, I was ____23____ to see the advertiser on TV, holding up his new ____24____. James Patterson had ____25____ into a best-selling author. “Maybe I was delusional (痴心妄想), but I ____26____ thought of myself as an advertising person,” he told me when asked how he’d done it. “I always ____27____ to be a writer.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
I hurried into Lehman’s grocery store. I was there to buy my grandmother’s hearing aid batteries. More importantly, this was my chance to visit the love of my life — Artie.
I ran to the shelf he was on, and there he was, right where I last saw him: a grey little guy with a large mouth that fit perfectly over my shoulder as I hugged him tightly. I adored that stuffed dolphin. As I held Artie, Mrs. Lehman, who had always been kind to me, passed by and smiled knowingly, “Hugging that dolphin again, huh?”
But my brother, Rick, noticed I took a long time in Lehman’s, saying, “You are a thirteen-year-old girl now. You are supposed to be quicker. Next time, I will go with you.” Oh, great! My brother, Rick. He always laughed at me.
But I wouldn’t give up. So, as we walked into the store, I suggested to Rick that he get the batteries, since he was older. Then I headed towards Artie. There he was, awaiting me. I grabbed him and hugged him tightly. Just then, I heard Rick saying, “What in the world are you doing?”
“This is Artie,” I said. “I hug him every single time I come here. I can’t afford it so I hope he doesn’t get sold because I just love this little guy.” The look on Rick’s face was unreadable, but I knew deep down that he wasn’t going to make fun of me. In fact, a few times when he accompanied me to Lehman’s, he said, “go on and hug your dolphin, if it’s still there.”
One day, Rick was not home, so I went to Lehman’s alone. I went straight to Artie’s shelf. But he was gone. I searched every shelf but couldn’t find him. Suddenly, a voice from the counter interrupted my search.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
It was Mrs. Lehman herself.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
To my surprise, I found a box lying on my bed.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】It was Mrs. Lehman herself. She leaned over the counter, her eyes crinkling with warmth. “Looking for your little friend, dear? A young man bought him yesterday. Said something about ‘saving him from shelf limbo’.” My heart sank. Before I could ask more, she added, “He left this note for you.” Hand trembling, I unfolded the paper: “Check your bed at noon. — R.” Glancing at the clock — 11:55 a.m. — I bolted home, confusion and hope tangled in my chest.
To my surprise, I found a box lying on my bed. A familiar floppy fin peeked through the ribbon. Tears blurred my vision as I cradled Artie, his soft fur pressing against my cheek. Beneath him lay another note: “Even pirates need first mates. Don’t drown him in your tears. — Captain Rick.” Laughter bubbled through my sniffles. From the doorway, Rick grumbled, “You’re gonna wear his stitching out,” but his ears flushed pink. That night, Artie guarded my pillow, while Rick’s snores echoed from the next room — a gruff lullaby of unexpected love.
【解析】
【导语】本文以情感为线索展开。讲述了作者对一个心爱的玩偶Artie的深厚感情,以及在家庭和生活中经历的一系列温暖的故事。故事通过作者与Artie的互动,展现了家庭成员之间复杂而真挚的情感,以及爱与支持的力量。

②由第二段首句内容“令我吃惊的是,我发现一个盒子躺在我的床上。”可知,第二段可描写作者回到家发现Artie被送来的惊喜,以及与哥哥Rick的对话。

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Some beaches are perfect for relaxing, while others offer activities like hiking and water sports. Visit these beautiful beaches for an unforgettable vacation.
Cannon Beach
If your perfect beach vacation spot features postcard-worthy scenery and peace, look no further than Cannon Beach. In this Pacific Northwest town, you can even build a fire on the beach to relax beside while watching the sun set. When you need a break from the beach, grab a bike and head downtown to explore its art galleries, shops and restaurants.
Horseshoe Bay Beach
For a one-of-a-kind beach experience, head to Horseshoe Bay Beach on Bermuda’s South Shore. Known for its pink sand, this beach is a popular destination for families looking to play in the calm blue-green waters and build blush-colored sandcastles. Adventure seekers can also take part in the self-guided island bicycle tour or engage in exciting water sports.
Mohegan Bluffs
This beach is famous for its natural beauty. Upon arrival, pause to admire your surroundings and learn about its ties to the native people, their ancient traditions, and connection to the land, adding depth to your beach experience. Then, take the 141 steps down to the sand to sunbathe. After that, climb back up to visit the Southeast Light for an up-close view of its 18th-century lighthouse.
South Beach
This tropical district on Florida’s Atlantic Coast is world-renowned for its powdery white sand. Although technically part of the Miami Beach area, South Beach stands out due to its Art Deco architecture seen in everything from the beachfront lifeguard towers to the high-rise buildings along the famed Ocean Drive.
1. What similarity do Cannon Beach and Horseshoe Bay Beach share?
A. The chance to cycle around. B. Their lively artistic scene.
C. The unique water sports. D. Their distinctive sand color.

B
Last September, I visited a protected wetland near my home. Though I’d used binoculars (望远镜), field guides and song identification apps all summer while hiking, this was the first time I only watched birds.
I’ve always cared about birds and have written about them as a science writer, but the moment I decided with purpose to devote time and energy to bird-watching marked my transformation into a birder. Seven months later, I’ve seen 452 species, learned dozens of calls, tracked rare birds, and even went looking for owls at night.
I didn’t start from zero. My career spent writing about nature taught me about the habitats; journalism allowed me to quickly familiarize myself with new topics and new people. I crowdsourced tips on social media platforms and went out with experienced birders. I used tools available to beginners.
Many regard birding as just turning lives into checklist numbers, but even that is harder without knowledge. To find the birds, you have to know them. And in doing that, much else falls into space.
Birding has boosted my time outdoors, pushing me to explore my neighborhood in ways I never would have: amazing hot spots in industrial areas, wastewater treatment plants, and random parks. I seem imperious to heat, cold, hunger, and thirst. My mind quiets, focusing only on the present.
I also feel a much deeper connection to nature, which I’ve long written about but always remained slightly distant from. Every bird I meet gives color and sound to the facts I once knew only from books. Birds I assumed lived far away — golden eagles, cranes — have all appeared within an hour of my house.
People call birding an escape from reality. I reject that. Instead, I see it as involvement with the true reality. I don’t need to know social media drama when I can spend an hour hunting for a rare bird. The choice is obvious.
Spring is coming. New birds will soon flood the Bay Area. I can’t wait.
4. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A. When the author became a birder. B. The author’s early interest in birding.
C. An ideal destination for new birders. D. A memorable birding trip without tools.
5. What does the author emphasize in paragraph 3?
A. Why new birders can never start from zero. B. How prior skills have aided his/ her birding.
C. The difficulties of birding without guidance. D. The use of effective bird identification tools.
6. What does the underlined phrase “imperious to” mean in paragraph 5?
A. extremely afraid of. B. Strongly opposed to.
C. easily contented with. D. completely unaffected by.
7. What is the author’s main message?
A. Birding is an escape from reality. B. Technology kills real experience.
C. Simple joys like birding enrich life. D. Hobbies require a lot of knowledge.
C
Just as damaged teeth can be replaced with gold crowns (齿冠), scientists are exploring how gold can be used to repair damaged parts of the brain.
Scientists at Linkoping University in Sweden said that a “brain of gold” might just be what we need to fight nervous system diseases. The plan is to put gold electrodes (电极) into the affected part of the brain. They will act as “telephone operators” between nerve cells and electronic medical devices, enabling communication so that the nervous system can function normally.
Treatment plans that involve connecting medical devices to the brain already exist. However the electrodes used are usually made of hard metals, while the brain is like a jelly that “shakes” at the body’s slightest movement.
“As the body is constantly in motion, achieving close contact between something that is hard and something that is soft and breakable becomes a problem,” explained Klas Tybrandt, one of the scientists.
This is why the Swedish scientists are using a new material called “gold nanowires” (金纳米线). As the name suggests, these are long, extremely thin gold threads — 1,000 times thinner than human hair. By putting them into rubber, the scientists have successfully created electrodes that are soft enough to connect comfortably with the human brain.
Gold can be made into structures as small as nanowires. According to Live Science, gold can be stretched, pressed or even rolled into all kinds of shapes without breaking. What’s more, gold doesn’t react with other chemicals in the human brain, making it a safe choice. Once placed in the brain, gold nanowires can last for at least three years, which is longer than many materials currently in use.
8. What role will gold electrodes play in treating nervous system diseases?
A. Replacing damaged nerve cells. B. Serving as a communication link.
C. Activating different brain regions. D. Protecting the brain’s unaffected parts.
9. What can we learn about gold nanowires?
A. They are harder than rubber. B. They are as thin as human hair.
C. They can be placed into the brain. D. They are in the final stage of development.

While we might like to think we would rush to someone’s assistance, we know from studies that often people hang back and this can have tragic consequences.
One of the most famous examples of this is the tragic case of Kitty Genovese who was fatally stabbed (刺伤) in Kew Gardens, New York, in 1964. Subsequent investigations concluded that several people saw or heard what was happening, but did nothing to intervene. This has been termed the “bystander effect” — a well-known psychological phenomenon where individuals are less likely to offer help to someone when other people are present. The more people there are, the less likely they are to help.
There are various factors contributing to this effect — people think that others will get involved or intervene. Afterwards people often say they did not feel qualified or senior or important enough to be the one to intervene. It is also partly down to “pluralistic (多元化的) ignorance” — since everyone is not reacting to the emergency, they don’t need to either; it’s not serious because no one else is doing anything. After a serious incident where people have been affected by the bystander effect, they are often so horrified that they didn’t do anything — they can’t believe they had not realized it was more serious or that they didn’t think to get involved.
The important thing to understand though is that other studies have shown that once people are aware of the bystander effect, they are less likely to be affected by it. Self-awareness is the best approach to it. When confronted with an emergency, think to yourself how you would behave if you were on your own. Ignore everyone else and how they are behaving and go with your courage — if you’d call an ambulance, do it. If you’d run for help, do it. If that’s how you would have behaved when you were on your own, then that’s probably the right course of action.
12. Why does the author mention “the tragic case of Kitty Genovese” in paragraph 2?
A. To present a fact. B. To confirm a finding.
C. To predict a conclusion. D. To illustrate an approach.
13. Influenced by the bystander effect, people may ________.
A. feel confident to intervene.
B. tend to help people in need.
C. be well aware of bad consequences.
D. feel shocked after a serious incident.
14. What does the author suggest people do when faced with an emergency?
A. Think twice. B. Follow others.
C. Step in at once. D. Take action cautiously.
15. What can be inferred from the awareness of the bystander effect and people’s helping behavior?
A. Awareness eliminates the possibility of people being influenced by the effect.
B. Awareness reduces the likelihood that people will hold back from helping.
C. Awareness makes people overestimate their ability to handle emergencies.
D. Awareness leads people to rely more on others’ reactions in emergencies.

Yet persistence paid off when the ice was finally broken by Graham, a fellow resident of my little neighborhood. We got chatting one day while he was smoking on his doorstep. I mentioned being a writer, and he paused, taking a long drag on his cigarette, and said, “Words are to the mind what exercise is to the body.” That profound insight immediately opened a channel between us. ____20____ Those encounters, born from a conscious effort to connect, have gradually woven warmth and familiarity into the fabric of my daily life.

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。
I hurried into Lehman’s grocery store. I was there to buy my grandmother’s hearing aid batteries. More importantly, this was my chance to visit the love of my life — Artie.
I ran to the shelf he was on, and there he was, right where I last saw him: a grey little guy with a large mouth that fit perfectly over my shoulder as I hugged him tightly. I adored that stuffed dolphin. As I held Artie, Mrs. Lehman, who had always been kind to me, passed by and smiled knowingly, “Hugging that dolphin again, huh?”
But my brother, Rick, noticed I took a long time in Lehman’s, saying, “You are a thirteen-year-old girl now. You are supposed to be quicker. Next time, I will go with you.” Oh, great! My brother, Rick. He always laughed at me.
But I wouldn’t give up. So, as we walked into the store, I suggested to Rick that he get the batteries, since he was older. Then I headed towards Artie. There he was, awaiting me. I grabbed him and hugged him tightly. Just then, I heard Rick saying, “What in the world are you doing?”
“This is Artie,” I said. “I hug him every single time I come here. I can’t afford it so I hope he doesn’t get sold because I just love this little guy.” The look on Rick’s face was unreadable, but I knew deep down that he wasn’t going to make fun of me. In fact, a few times when he accompanied me to Lehman’s, he said, “go on and hug your dolphin, if it’s still there.”
One day, Rick was not home, so I went to Lehman’s alone. I went straight to Artie’s shelf. But he was gone. I searched every shelf but couldn’t find him. Suddenly, a voice from the counter interrupted my search.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。
It was Mrs. Lehman herself.
