第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节,满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
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
Shared mobility: Making travel easier for all
In major cities across Europe and the US, shared bikes and cars seem to be everywhere. Yet for disabled, elderly, low-income individuals, or those without a smartphone or credit card, these services are practically out of reach. Such services tend to gather in wealthy urban areas, leaving users largely young, wealthy, and able-bodied.
Shared mobility could be a key part of a more sustainable transportation system. But to be most effective, it needs to include everyone. For-profit shared mobility providers have largely failed to deliver on this, but various initiatives and projects are finding creative solutions to reach under-served communities.
●Buffalo’s E-Bike Library: Organizes training, group rides and educational events to familiarize people with cycling culture and safety, with 71% of members being first-time riders.
●Mobitwin’s car-share service: Prioritizes email-and phone-based bookings over apps to extend reach to a wider share of the population lacking digital literacy, helping them access the service more easily.
● U. S. bike-sharing policy: Provides fare reductions for low-income groups, with cash payment options and non-smartphone access as key measures to broaden adoption, which has shown promise in increasing the use of shared bikes while decreasing the use of personal vehicles.
●Graz’s car-share initiatives: Add wheelchair-accessible vehicles, child seats, and station-based booking to suit diverse users’ trip-chaining needs, such as mid-route pickups and multi-destination trips.
The future of shared mobility relies on making inclusive design a top priority. As Esen Köse, project manager at Mpact, puts it, “It’s about starting with people’s needs.”
1. What is the percentage gap between lower and higher income users in Barrier 1?
A. 3%. B. 16%. C. 26%. D. 71%.
2. Which solution targets Barrier 2?
A. Buffalo’s E-Bike Library. B. Graz’s car-share initiatives.
C. U. S. bike-sharing policy. D. Mobitwin’s car-share service.
3. What will shape the future of shared mobility according to Esen Köse?
A. Tech-based priority. B. Charity-run initiatives.
C. Profit-driven providers. D. User-centered accessibility.
B
You don’t have to be rich to travel well. For my husband and I, this rings especially true: he’s retired early and I work part-time as an editor, which gives us plenty of time and freedom but not much in the way of funds. We’ve happily chosen free time over money, yet we love to travel, and travel usually costs a lot. Still, we’ve managed to take a lot of affordable trips by house trading.
House trading isn’t the same as Airbnb or renting a room in someone’s home: there’s no exchange of money, no check-in desks or strict rules, which makes it feel more like staying as guests in each other’s houses. Living in someone else’s space builds a unique closeness — admiring their bookshelf picks, the way they arrange potted plants, or family photos on the fridge turns virtual strangers into familiar faces. We’ve even grown repeat trades into real friendships.
On our very first trade, our partner welcomed us with a bottle of wine and some cheese in the fridge, and we’ve kept that gracious tradition going with our own “guests”. Since then, we’ve encountered all kinds of thoughtful acts — from the young couple who left the keys in their mailbox along with a note that said “Enjoy!” to the family who provided piles of maps, brochures, and local restaurant menus. With these small “insider” tips, we don’t just visit a city — we slip into its daily flow, free from the rush of moving from one landmark to another.
Yes, house trading did begin with our desire to travel on the cheap, but it’s become so much more than just a way to save money. It let us get glimpses of places we might never have explored otherwise, grew our belief in the warmth of strangers, and confirmed our decision to choose a lifestyle that values time over money. We all learned to share by the time we were in kindergarten, right? It’s not too late to rediscover that simple truth on a whole new level.
4. What first made the author try house trading?
A To reduce travel expenses. B. To earn retirement funds.
C. To upgrade accommodations. D. To meet interesting people.
5. What is the feature of house trading?
A. It involves money exchange. B. It offers long-term stay.
C. It creates personal connection. D. It ensures hotel-like service.
6. Why does the author mention hosts’ thoughtful acts?
A. To suggest travel tips. B. To show local customs.
C. To instruct hosting skills. D. To highlight special gains.
7. What message does the author convey in the last paragraph?
A. Trust requires shared values. B. Sharing bears lasting worth.
C. Budget travel cuts living costs. D. Early habits shape adulthood.
C
Can you pass me the whatchamacallit? It’s right over there next to the thingamajig. Many of us encounter the “tip-of-the-tongue” phenomenon or word-finding difficulties in our daily lives. And it usually becomes more noticeable with age.
Frequent difficulty finding the right word was often regarded as an early sign of Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默病) disease. However, a recent study from the University of Toronto suggests that it’s the speed of speech, rather than the difficulty in finding words that is a more accurate indicator of brain health in older adults.
The researchers asked 125 healthy adults, aged 18 to 90, to describe a scene in detail. Recordings of these descriptions were subsequently analyzed by AI software to analyze features such as speed of talking, duration of pauses between words, and the variety of words used. Participants also completed a standard set of tests that measure concentration, thinking speed, and the ability to plan and carry out tasks. It is found that age-related decline in decision-making abilities was closely linked to a slower speaking pace, suggesting a broader decline than just difficulty in finding the right word.
The study also employed a picture-naming task, where participants were shown pictures of everyday objects while being played a recording of a word, either a meaning-related one (making picture-naming harder) or a sound-similar one (making it somewhat easier). Interestingly, the study showed that older adults who spoke more slowly in general were also slower at naming these pictures. Notably, this highlights the potential of speech rate changes as a significant yet subtle marker of cognitive (认知的) health that could aid in identifying people at risk before more severe symptoms become apparent.
While this study lays valuable groundwork for future research, its reliance on picture-based word tasks falls short of grasping the essence of real-world language use. As such, a target for subsequent studies should be integrating more naturalistic language patterns to gain deeper insights into cognitive health.
8. What does the underlined part “tip-of-the-tongue” mean in the text?
A. A common reason for slower speech rates. B. A temporary inability to recall familiar words.
C. A medical term for elderly language disorders. D. A new method to recollect words from memory.
9. What does a slower speech pace suggest about brain function?
A. It signals a general cognitive decline. B. It indicates specific word memory loss.
C. It shows a slowdown in verbal fluency. D. It implies a lack of sustained concentration.
10 What is the significance of this research?
A. Highlighting AI’s role in speech analysis. B. Enabling early cure for cognitive decline.
C. Developing word association approaches. D. Proposing new signs to monitor brain health.
11. What will follow-up studies focus on?
A. Improving picture-based word tasks. B. Exploring everyday speech samples.
C. Studying word-finding difficulty patterns. D. Designing new cognitive assessment tools.
D
Methane (甲烷) has spread into the atmosphere through leaks from rice fields, landfills, dairy farms and coal mines, becoming a hidden driver behind near-term global warming. Though short-lived in the atmosphere for just 7-12 years, methane traps much more heat than CO₂. Cutting its emissions (排放) is therefore a key route to slowing near-term warming of the climate, especially as these emissions have been increasing recently.
New research suggests that a specially grown methane-eating bacteria (细菌) called methanotrophs may offer a solution to control these methane leaks. Originally found in a lake in Russia, these tiny organisms work by “eating” methane. When air with methane flows through a large container holding the bacteria, they turn the methane into proteins, which will be harvested and sold for animal feed. While this does release small amounts of greenhouse gas, the net effect is less warming power in the air. Tests show they could reduce methane by 60 to 80 percent in air that has been treated.
Lidstrom and her colleagues at the University of Washington have been working to improve the bacteria’s ability to harvest methane even at relatively low levels. “Since existing bacteria are designed by nature to carry out this work, the vision is to use this inborn ability as a flexible technology worldwide,” says Mary Lidstrom. “Once it becomes profitable, this solution can grow to handle millions of tons of methane every year, providing a nature-based solution to reducing methane in the atmosphere,” she adds. It’s an exciting approach, but she warns that this method is not a silver bullet for all methane emissions.
Still, the potential is significant: when expanded, it could remove 24 million tonnes of CO₂ equals by mid-century. Similar work by Canada’s Lisa Stein, who uses methanotrophs in wetlands, highlights the broader promise. “Methanotrophs have huge potential to address real-world methane emissions,” she notes, with a landfill pilot and an agricultural trial set to roll out this year to build on that progress.
12. Why is methane’s nature highlighted in the first paragraph?
A. To detail its human-related sources. B. To explain its short-lived consequences.
C. To show the urgency of its reduction. D. To emphasize its uncommon existence.
13. How do methanotrophs work?
A. They harvest methane for animal feed. B. They remove CO₂ from the atmosphere.
C. They transform methane into protein. D. They absorb methane as an energy source.
14. What does “not a silver bullet” imply in paragraph 3?
A. It is not a universal fix for every case. B. It fails to reduce methane emissions.
C. Its efficiency isn’t proven by field tests. D. Its long-term effects remain unknown.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Bacteria: A Source of Methane Feed. B. CO₂: A Less Harmful Greenhouse Gas.
C. Methane: A Global Warming Hidden Threat. D. Methanotrophs: A Prospective Methane Treatment.

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。
Finding My True Path
My journey began with struggle. After graduating with psychology and art degrees, I expected to become a psychologist or artist. ___16___ Holding two degrees, I realized I was exhausted from forcing myself into roles that never fit — like wearing shoes two sizes too small.
___17___ I came to accept my stress limits after repeated burnout. Albert Einstein’s words hit hard: expecting different results from repeated failures is unwise. I stopped wasting energy on unsustainable paths I didn’t truly want. My compass reset: Only pursue what I can sustain and truly value.
It was during this period of reflection that a long-buried passion quietly resurfaced — writing. When I shared this with Elena, an artist friend, her eyes lit up. “True passion turns discipline into joy, never duty.” she emphasized. ___18___ I realized true passion is written in the soul; when accepted, regular practice flows naturally, becoming the true path to mastery.
Fueled by this clarity, I took concrete steps. I carved out precious, daily writing time, starting small and manageable. ___19___ Then came the real test: when a high-paying job demanded overtime that would steal my writing time, I firmly declined. It wasn’t sacrifice (牺牲); it was claiming my truth. I wrote with focus I never knew in offices.
Making space for what mattered transformed everything. Regular writing brought peace and direction. Though money remains a necessity, working with passion unlocks hidden doors within. Purpose isn’t found in distant dreams. ___20___ When you swim in the right direction, the stream of life will carry you where you’re meant to be.
A These words struck me deeply.
B. This requires exceptional talent.
C. It grows through daily chosen actions.
D. Years of exhaustion became my wake-up call.
E. I landed a dream job as a school mental health adviser.
F. This meant a daily routine of putting down 500 words.
G. The reality was years of bouncing from one office job to another.

For years, my family hadn’t had a proper vacation, our lives consumed by busy schedules. This year, I was determined to plan a perfect getaway. My research led me to The Manor, a grand, historic hotel. As I studied a local tourist brochure, I saw it listed the hotel’s main attractions — an award-winning restaurant and a grand lighthouse. Simple activities like walking coastal paths and searching for unique sea glass were also mentioned. For this special vacation, I focused only on what I considered the best experiences. A simple walk on the beach? We could do that anywhere. I wanted the lighthouse climb and the luxury of a fancy dinner.
Just before we left, my father gave me a hug. “Remember,” he said softly, “we can’t control the circumstances, but we can always choose our attitude.” I thought of how he always managed to turn rainy days into opportunities for simple games, finding joy no matter what. I smiled, but confident in my mind that our trip would be so perfect that we would never need his wisdom.
Unfortunately, our journey began with an unexpected storm. A steady, cold rain poured down so heavily that we could barely see the landscape outside our car. Arriving at the hotel, our hopes for an afternoon swim were greeted by a sign on the locked pool door: “Closed for Renovation (翻修)”. Our next thought, a drink at the hotel bar, was met with another sign: “Closed on Mondays”. Defeated, we went to bed early, pinning all our remaining hopes on visiting the lighthouse the next morning.
The following day, the sky was still gray and cold, but at least the rain had softened. We drove to the lighthouse, our spirits lifting as we saw the grand structure rising before us. From the parking lot, we could see a small, unmarked path winding through the tall grass into the distance, but our focus was entirely on the lighthouse. “The view from the top will be amazing!” I shouted. I ran from the car to the gate, ready to start the climb. My heart sank as I read the large, metal sign posted there: CLOSED FORRENOVATIONS.

You don’t have to be rich to travel well. For my husband and I, this rings especially true: he’s retired early and I work part-time as an editor, which gives us plenty of time and freedom but not much in the way of funds. We’ve happily chosen free time over money, yet we love to travel, and travel usually costs a lot. Still, we’ve managed to take a lot of affordable trips by house trading.
House trading isn’t the same as Airbnb or renting a room in someone’s home: there’s no exchange of money, no check-in desks or strict rules, which makes it feel more like staying as guests in each other’s houses. Living in someone else’s space builds a unique closeness — admiring their bookshelf picks, the way they arrange potted plants, or family photos on the fridge turns virtual strangers into familiar faces. We’ve even grown repeat trades into real friendships.
On our very first trade, our partner welcomed us with a bottle of wine and some cheese in the fridge, and we’ve kept that gracious tradition going with our own “guests”. Since then, we’ve encountered all kinds of thoughtful acts — from the young couple who left the keys in their mailbox along with a note that said “Enjoy!” to the family who provided piles of maps, brochures, and local restaurant menus. With these small “insider” tips, we don’t just visit a city — we slip into its daily flow, free from the rush of moving from one landmark to another.
Yes, house trading did begin with our desire to travel on the cheap, but it’s become so much more than just a way to save money. It let us get glimpses of places we might never have explored otherwise, grew our belief in the warmth of strangers, and confirmed our decision to choose a lifestyle that values time over money. We all learned to share by the time we were in kindergarten, right? It’s not too late to rediscover that simple truth on a whole new level.
4. What first made the author try house trading?
A. To reduce travel expenses. B. To earn retirement funds.
C. To upgrade accommodations. D. To meet interesting people.
5. What is the feature of house trading?
A. It involves money exchange. B. It offers long-term stay.
C. It creates personal connection. D. It ensures hotel-like service.
6. Why does the author mention hosts’ thoughtful acts?
A. To suggest travel tips. B. To show local customs.
C. To instruct hosting skills. D. To highlight special gains.
7. What message does the author convey in the last paragraph?
A. Trust requires shared values. B. Sharing bears lasting worth.
C. Budget travel cuts living costs. D. Early habits shape adulthood.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B

Can you pass me the whatchamacallit? It’s right over there next to the thingamajig. Many of us encounter the “tip-of-the-tongue” phenomenon or word-finding difficulties in our daily lives. And it usually becomes more noticeable with age.
Frequent difficulty finding the right word was often regarded as an early sign of Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默病) disease. However, a recent study from the University of Toronto suggests that it’s the speed of speech, rather than the difficulty in finding words that is a more accurate indicator of brain health in older adults.
The researchers asked 125 healthy adults, aged 18 to 90, to describe a scene in detail. Recordings of these descriptions were subsequently analyzed by AI software to analyze features such as speed of talking, duration of pauses between words, and the variety of words used. Participants also completed a standard set of tests that measure concentration, thinking speed, and the ability to plan and carry out tasks. It is found that age-related decline in decision-making abilities was closely linked to a slower speaking pace, suggesting a broader decline than just difficulty in finding the right word.
The study also employed a picture-naming task, where participants were shown pictures of everyday objects while being played a recording of a word, either a meaning-related one (making picture-naming harder) or a sound-similar one (making it somewhat easier). Interestingly, the study showed that older adults who spoke more slowly in general were also slower at naming these pictures. Notably, this highlights the potential of speech rate changes as a significant yet subtle marker of cognitive (认知的) health that could aid in identifying people at risk before more severe symptoms become apparent.
While this study lays valuable groundwork for future research, its reliance on picture-based word tasks falls short of grasping the essence of real-world language use. As such, a target for subsequent studies should be integrating more naturalistic language patterns to gain deeper insights into cognitive health.
8. What does the underlined part “tip-of-the-tongue” mean in the text?
A. A common reason for slower speech rates. B. A temporary inability to recall familiar words.
C. A medical term for elderly language disorders. D. A new method to recollect words from memory.
9. What does a slower speech pace suggest about brain function?
A. It signals a general cognitive decline. B. It indicates specific word memory loss.
C. It shows a slowdown in verbal fluency. D. It implies a lack of sustained concentration.
10. What is the significance of this research?
A. Highlighting AI’s role in speech analysis. B. Enabling early cure for cognitive decline.
C. Developing word association approaches. D. Proposing new signs to monitor brain health.
11. What will follow-up studies focus on?
A. Improving picture-based word tasks. B. Exploring everyday speech samples.
C. Studying word-finding difficulty patterns. D. Designing new cognitive assessment tools.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了老年人语言功能变化与大脑健康之间的关系,指出说话速度比找词困难更能准确反映老年人的大脑健康状况,并提出了后续研究的方向。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Can you pass me the whatchamacallit? It’s right over there next to the thingamajig. Many of us encounter the “tip-of-the-tongue” phenomenon or word-finding difficulties in our daily lives.(你能把那个什么玩意儿递给我吗?就在那个什么玩意儿旁边。我们很多人在日常生活中都会遇到“tip-of-the-tongue”现象或找词困难)”描述了人们在日常生活中暂时想不起熟悉词语的现象,由此可知“tip-of-the-tongue”指的是“暂时无法回忆起熟悉的单词”。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“It is found that age-related decline in decision-making abilities was closely linked to a slower speaking pace, suggesting a broader decline than just difficulty in finding the right word.(研究发现,与年龄相关的决策能力下降与说话速度减慢密切相关,这表明不仅仅是找词困难,而是更广泛的衰退)”可知,说话速度的减慢表明大脑功能出现了更广泛的衰退,而不仅仅是找词困难。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“However, a recent study from the University of Toronto suggests that it’s the speed of speech, rather than the difficulty in finding words that is a more accurate indicator of brain health in older adults.(然而,多伦多大学最近的一项研究表明,对老年人大脑健康而言,说话速度而非找词困难是一个更准确的指标)”以及第四段中“Notably, this highlights the potential of speech rate changes as a significant yet subtle marker of cognitive (认知的) health that could aid in identifying people at risk before more severe symptoms become apparent.(值得注意的是,这凸显了语速变化作为认知健康的一个显著而微妙的标志的潜力,它可以在更严重的症状出现之前帮助识别有风险的人)”可知,这项研究提出了新的指标来监测大脑健康。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“While this study lays valuable groundwork for future research, its reliance on picture-based word tasks falls short of grasping the essence of real — world language use. As such, a target for subsequent studies should be integrating more naturalistic language patterns to gain deeper insights into cognitive health.(虽然这项研究为未来的研究奠定了宝贵的基础,但它对基于图片的词汇任务的依赖未能把握现实世界语言使用的本质。因此,后续研究的目标应该是整合更多的自然语言模式,以更深入地了解认知健康)”可知,后续研究将侧重于探索日常语言样本,以更深入地了解认知健康。故选B项。
D
Methane (甲烷) has spread into the atmosphere through leaks from rice fields, landfills, dairy farms and coal mines, becoming a hidden driver behind near-term global warming. Though short-lived in the atmosphere for just 7-12 years, methane traps much more heat than CO₂. Cutting its emissions (排放) is therefore a key route to slowing near-term warming of the climate, especially as these emissions have been increasing recently.
New research suggests that a specially grown methane-eating bacteria (细菌) called methanotrophs may offer a solution to control these methane leaks. Originally found in a lake in Russia, these tiny organisms work by “eating” methane. When air with methane flows through a large container holding the bacteria, they turn the methane into proteins, which will be harvested and sold for animal feed. While this does release small amounts of greenhouse gas, the net effect is less warming power in the air. Tests show they could reduce methane by 60 to 80 percent in air that has been treated.
Lidstrom and her colleagues at the University of Washington have been working to improve the bacteria’s ability to harvest methane even at relatively low levels. “Since existing bacteria are designed by nature to carry out this work, the vision is to use this inborn ability as a flexible technology worldwide,” says Mary Lidstrom. “Once it becomes profitable, this solution can grow to handle millions of tons of methane every year, providing a nature-based solution to reducing methane in the atmosphere,” she adds. It’s an exciting approach, but she warns that this method is not a silver bullet for all methane emissions.
Still, the potential is significant: when expanded, it could remove 24 million tonnes of CO₂ equals by mid-century. Similar work by Canada’s Lisa Stein, who uses methanotrophs in wetlands, highlights the broader promise. “Methanotrophs have huge potential to address real-world methane emissions,” she notes, with a landfill pilot and an agricultural trial set to roll out this year to build on that progress.
12. Why is methane’s nature highlighted in the first paragraph?
A. To detail its human-related sources. B. To explain its short-lived consequences.
C. To show the urgency of its reduction. D. To emphasize its uncommon existence.
13. How do methanotrophs work?
A. They harvest methane for animal feed. B. They remove CO₂ from the atmosphere.
C. They transform methane into protein. D. They absorb methane as an energy source.
14. What does “not a silver bullet” imply in paragraph 3?
A. It is not a universal fix for every case. B. It fails to reduce methane emissions.
C. Its efficiency isn’t proven by field tests. D. Its long-term effects remain unknown.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Bacteria: A Source of Methane Feed. B. CO₂: A Less Harmful Greenhouse Gas.
C. Methane: A Global Warming Hidden Threat. D. Methanotrophs: A Prospective Methane Treatment.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要讲述减少甲烷排放是减缓近期气候变暖的关键途径,一种被称为甲烷氧化菌的细菌可能为控制这些甲烷泄漏提供了一种解决方案。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Methane (甲烷) has spread into the atmosphere through leaks from rice fields, landfills, dairy farms and coal mines, becoming a hidden driver behind near-term global warming. Though short-lived in the atmosphere for just 7-12 years, methane traps much more heat than CO₂. Cutting its emissions (排放) is therefore a key route to slowing near-term warming of the climate, especially as these emissions have been increasing recently.(甲烷通过稻田、垃圾填埋场、奶牛场和煤矿的泄漏扩散到大气中,成为近期全球变暖的隐藏驱动力。虽然甲烷在大气中只存在7-12年,但它比二氧化碳能吸收更多的热量。因此,减少排放是减缓近期气候变暖的关键途径,尤其是最近排放一直在增加)”可知,第一段提到甲烷的基本性质是为了表明减少甲烷排放的迫切性,甲烷成为近期全球变暖的隐藏驱动力,虽然存在时间有限,但是能吸收更多的热量,因此减少甲烷排放刻不容缓,故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“When air with methane flows through a large container holding the bacteria, they turn the methane into proteins, which will be harvested and sold for animal feed.(当含有甲烷的空气流过一个装有细菌的大容器时,它们将甲烷转化为蛋白质,这些蛋白质将被收获并作为动物饲料出售)”可知,甲烷氧化菌将甲烷转化成蛋白质,故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“It’s an exciting approach(这是一个令人兴奋的方法)”和转折词“but”可知,此处指“这种方法并不是解决所有甲烷排放的万能方法”,由此猜测,not a silver bullet意为“不是解决所有问题的万能方法”,故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合第二段中“New research suggests that a specially grown methane-eating bacteria (细菌) called methanotrophs may offer a solution to control these methane leaks.(新的研究表明,一种被称为甲烷氧化菌的特殊生长的食用甲烷细菌可能为控制这些甲烷泄漏提供了一种解决方案)”和最后一段中“Still, the potential is significant: when expanded, it could remove 24 million tonnes of CO₂ equals by mid-century.(尽管如此,潜力是巨大的:如果扩大规模,到本世纪中叶,它可以去除2400万吨二氧化碳当量)”可知,文章主要讲述减少甲烷排放是减缓近期气候变暖的关键途径,一种被称为甲烷氧化菌的细菌可能为控制这些甲烷泄漏提供了一种解决方案,D项“甲烷氧化菌:一种有前景的甲烷处理方法”最适合作为标题,故选D。

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。
Finding My True Path
My journey began with struggle. After graduating with psychology and art degrees, I expected to become a psychologist or artist. ___16___ Holding two degrees, I realized I was exhausted from forcing myself into roles that never fit — like wearing shoes two sizes too small.
___17___ I came to accept my stress limits after repeated burnout. Albert Einstein’s words hit hard: expecting different results from repeated failures is unwise. I stopped wasting energy on unsustainable paths I didn’t truly want. My compass reset: Only pursue what I can sustain and truly value.
It was during this period of reflection that a long-buried passion quietly resurfaced — writing. When I shared this with Elena, an artist friend, her eyes lit up. “True passion turns discipline into joy, never duty.” she emphasized. ___18___ I realized true passion is written in the soul; when accepted, regular practice flows naturally, becoming the true path to mastery.
Fueled by this clarity, I took concrete steps. I carved out precious, daily writing time, starting small and manageable. ___19___ Then came the real test: when a high-paying job demanded overtime that would steal my writing time, I firmly declined. It wasn’t sacrifice (牺牲); it was claiming my truth. I wrote with focus I never knew in offices.
Making space for what mattered transformed everything. Regular writing brought peace and direction. Though money remains a necessity, working with passion unlocks hidden doors within. Purpose isn’t found in distant dreams. ___20___ When you swim in the right direction, the stream of life will carry you where you’re meant to be.
A. These words struck me deeply.
B. This requires exceptional talent.
C. It grows through daily chosen actions.
D. Years of exhaustion became my wake-up call.
E. I landed a dream job as a school mental health adviser.
F. This meant a daily routine of putting down 500 words.

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。
For years, my family hadn’t had a proper vacation, our lives consumed by busy schedules. This year, I was determined to plan a perfect getaway. My research led me to The Manor, a grand, historic hotel. As I studied a local tourist brochure, I saw it listed the hotel’s main attractions — an award-winning restaurant and a grand lighthouse. Simple activities like walking coastal paths and searching for unique sea glass were also mentioned. For this special vacation, I focused only on what I considered the best experiences. A simple walk on the beach? We could do that anywhere. I wanted the lighthouse climb and the luxury of a fancy dinner.
Just before we left, my father gave me a hug. “Remember,” he said softly, “we can’t control the circumstances, but we can always choose our attitude.” I thought of how he always managed to turn rainy days into opportunities for simple games, finding joy no matter what. I smiled, but confident in my mind that our trip would be so perfect that we would never need his wisdom.
Unfortunately, our journey began with an unexpected storm. A steady, cold rain poured down so heavily that we could barely see the landscape outside our car. Arriving at the hotel, our hopes for an afternoon swim were greeted by a sign on the locked pool door: “Closed for Renovation (翻修)”. Our next thought, a drink at the hotel bar, was met with another sign: “Closed on Mondays”. Defeated, we went to bed early, pinning all our remaining hopes on visiting the lighthouse the next morning.
The following day, the sky was still gray and cold, but at least the rain had softened. We drove to the lighthouse, our spirits lifting as we saw the grand structure rising before us. From the parking lot, we could see a small, unmarked path winding through the tall grass into the distance, but our focus was entirely on the lighthouse. “The view from the top will be amazing!” I shouted. I ran from the car to the gate, ready to start the climb. My heart sank as I read the large, metal sign posted there: CLOSED FORRENOVATIONS.
注意:1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1: I turned and looked at my husband in disbelief.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: The path led to a silent beach.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Paragraph I: I turned and looked at my husband in disbelief. The grand lighthouse stood inaccessible behind the metal sign. My shoulders sank, the sting of disappointment sharp and cold in the damp air. Seeing my disappointment, he gave me a warm smile and said. “The big attractions are closed, but our adventure isn’t over.” His calm voice reminded me of my father’s advice: we can always choose our attitude. At that moment, I made a choice. I would not let a few locked doors ruin our family vacation. Taking a deep breath, I nodded toward the small path we had noticed earlier.
Paragraph 2: The path led to a silent beach. Instead of feeling disappointed by the gray weather, we took off our shoes and ran towards the waves. We had a simple walk on the beach. There we also found the colorful sea glass mentioned in the brochure. We spent the next hour like treasure hunters, laughing as we searched for the most beautiful pieces. We couldn’t change that our plans had failed, but we had changed our attitude. That simple choice gave us a more joyful and memorable day than any grand plan could have.
