Logan Becker loves his song — it was written just for him. Logan has a rare connective tissue disorder, and in 2020, when he was 9, he received his personalized, upbeat anthem (颂歌) from the Songs of Love Foundation. For nearly 30 years, the nonprofit has worked with professional musicians to produce more than 46,000 tailor-made songs for children with serious illnesses. “It makes me feel like I’m not the only one that’s going through this.” Logan says in a video.
“A song is a communal (共有的), cultural product that says you’re not alone.” says a professor at New York University.
The problem, according to the Songs of Love Foundation founder and president John Beltzer, is how to engage a population growing up listening to music from the past, like big band and swing. “There was no way that we could have found enough songwriters out there to be able to create those tracks in an authentic (真实的) way.”
So he reached out to the AI music platform Suno for help, and the company responded by giving Songs of Love contributors free access to its music-making tools. “We will have some songwriters who will take a rough recording of themselves and use our tool to transform that into a well-produced track.” said Suno CEO.
Thomas Jones, one of around 200 musicians working with the foundation, has been using Suno’s tools a lot lately. He said he feels the same sense of satisfaction when composing a song with AI. “To me, it’s just another way of expressing yourself. It’s a box of crayons.”
But for others it’s different. “There is a relationship between the songwriter and the patient. They’re trying to connect.” said Sangeeta Swamy, a music therapist. “AI-generated songs feel different to me. They’re missing that connective, human element.”
4. What is the purpose of the Songs of Love Foundation?
A. To attract professional musicians. B. To give comfort to sick children.
C. To produce songs for financial profit. D. To raise money for seriously ill children.
5. How does the AI music platform Suno help songwriters?
A. By engaging more people in song writing.
B. By polishing their recordings with AI tools.
C. By involving the youth in music of the past.
D. By connecting them with professional big bands.
6. What does Thomas Jones mean by saying “It’s a box of crayons.” in paragraph 5?
A. AI is a symbol of childhood memories. B. AI is a source of personal satisfaction.
C. AI is a tool for artistic expression. D. AI is a method for drawing pictures.
7. What is Sangeeta Swamy’s attitude toward AI-generated songs?
A. Unclear. B. Curious. C. Unfavorable. D. Supportive.
C
Searching the web or looking around a major grocery store, we’ll find trendy household and beauty products labelled “natural,” or “green.” We thought we were slowing the chemical pollution crisis by swapping (交换) the “natural” products for non-toxic (无毒的) cleaning alternatives and ensuring our beauty products only have natural substances. Yet, studies demonstrate that green cleaning products and common sustainable swaps still contain substances that are harmful to human life.
The use of new chemicals in the home has expanded rapidly in the past five decades. To meet that moment, the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) was passed in 1976, regulating (管理) more than 80,000 chemicals and their usage through the Food and Drug Administration. Yet, the TSCA allowed for more than 60,000 chemicals that were on the market to continue being used without additional safety protections. Unlike medicines, which underwent strict testing, chemicals in cleaning and beauty products often lack comprehensive toxicity data. While some states, including California, require greater protections from risky chemicals, government control is still not enough.
One key issue with so-called“green” products is their use of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which easily escape into the air at room temperature and can create dangerous indoor pollutants. The result? VOCs contribute to breathing problems, allergic (过敏的) reactions, and headaches. Endocrine (内分泌的) imbalance is another major issue hiding in household products, including those marketed as safe or sustainable. These chemicals disturb body functions, potentially leading to physical disorders and even certain cancers.
If government control remains limited and companies continue to market misleading “green” products what can consumers do? While official policies attempted to address chemical risks, significant gaps remain. To reduce exposure to harmful substances, producers must look beyond greenwashing and advocate for systemic change — whether through stricter guidelines or the reintroduction of traditional, non-toxic alternatives. Until then, it remains up to consumers to critically assess the products they bring into their homes and onto their bodies.
8. What does the author want to tell us in paragraph 1?
A. Natural products dominate store shelves. B. Chemical pollution has worsened.
C. Consumers distrust sustainable swaps. D. Green products still have risks.
9. What was the problem of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)?
A. It banned some useful chemicals. B. It allowed for the use of risky chemicals.
C. It focused on the usage of medicines. D. It misused comprehensive toxicity data.
10. Which aspect of “green” household products does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Their health risks. B. Their marketing strategy.
C. Their performance stability. D. Their specific functions.
11. What does the author suggest consumers do in the last paragraph?
A. Wait for stricter guidelines. B. Return to traditional alternatives.
C. Evaluate products carefully. D. Trust green products with natural labels.
D
Female moths (蛾) don’t rely on sight or smell alone. They can also hear stressed plants. Scientists found that these insects detect ultrasonic (超声的) clicks from plants under drought stress and use them when choosing egg-laying sites.
Plants produce airborne ultrasonic sounds when stressed. These vibrations (震颤), previously thought to be undetectable by animals, can travel through the air. The Egyptian cotton leafworm moth, Spodoptera littoralis, hears these sounds. This species has ears sensitive to the 20 to 60 kHz range, with peak sensitivity around 38 kHz. That is where many plant clicks fall.
The researchers assumed that female moths might use these plant sounds to decide where to lay eggs. Their experiments confirmed this. The study involved multiple experiments with precise setups. In a no-plant environment, moths preferred laying eggs near a speaker playing recorded plant stress sounds. When these moths were deafened, the preference disappeared. This proved that the response came from hearing, not other cues (提示). In contrast, when healthy plants were added and the same sounds were played near one, the moths chose the silent plant. This indicated that when real plants were present, moths correctly interpreted the sounds as warnings.
Scientists find that without a visible plant, sound becomes the only cue. So moths associate it with plant presence. But when they can see or smell real plants, and one gives off stress sounds, they avoid it. This shows a context-based decision-making process.
This study reveals that plant sounds can guide insect behavior. The researchers think other animals might also use these sounds. “In this study, we revealed the first evidence for acoustic (声学的) interaction between a plant and an insect. We are convinced that this is just the beginning,” noted the researchers. “Acoustic interaction between plants and animals doubtlessly has many more forms and a wide range of roles.”
12. Why can the Egyptian cotton leafworm moth hear plant clicks?
A. They are especially loud. B. They are entirely distinct.
C. They travel via special media. D. They match its hearing range.
13. What did the moths choose when real plants were present in the experiment?
A. The speaker playing sounds. B. Plants giving off no warning signals.
C. Healthy plants producing sounds. D. Plants needing to be watered.
14. Which word best describes the impact of the research according to the last paragraph?
A. Far-reaching. B. Controllable. C. Short-lived. D. Tolerable.
15. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Plants give off measurable stress sounds
B. Plants make stress sounds for lack of water
C. Moths guide complex plant-insect interactions
D. Moths detect plant sounds for egg-laying choices

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。
In social studies class on Monday, Mrs. Petrovski assigned a story-telling project on Thursday: students had to bring a relative to share stories, which would be videotaped. David was excited—his grandmother, Abuela, was good at telling tales. She had the magic to make every story come alive before his eyes.
That afternoon, David rushed home excitedly, telling his grandmother about the project. Her eyes lit up. “I have the perfect story to share,” she assured. The next day, she prepared enthusiastically, shopping for fabrics at Petra’s Fabric Place, where everyone knew her as a skilled tailor. She’d started sewing there after moving in, easing her loneliness. She felt like she knew everyone in class including Mrs. Petrovski well because David talked about them all the time. Therefore, she decided to make hand-sewn gifts tailored for each one. Learning that Mrs. Petrovski’s mother, a Russian living in America for many years, would come as well, she would make a lovely traditional Russian hat for her as a special surprise. In the next two days, she rushed to get things done.
But on Wednesday, David’s excitement faded when classmates shared their relatives’ dramatic stories: Joseph’s grandfather, a retired policeman, had chased a cat that stole a purse; Ramon’s father, a firefighter, had rescued workers from a factory fire; Marisa’s aunt, a vet (兽医), had saved a mistreated dog. Compared to these exciting tales, David worried his grandmother’s story about sewing would seem boring.
He considered pretending to be sick, practicing fake (假的) coughs on his way home. After he tried this excuse at home, he also pointed out that the gifts prepared for the presentation hadn’t been put into the bags yet. Abuela looked thoughtful, telling him how she learnt to sew from her mother during childhood illness. David was speechless. He realized how important sewing was to his grandmother and how she expected to share with others her story about sewing.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150词左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At that moment, he felt ashamed of himself.

Logan Becker loves his song — it was written just for him. Logan has a rare connective tissue disorder, and in 2020, when he was 9, he received his personalized, upbeat anthem (颂歌) from the Songs of Love Foundation. For nearly 30 years, the nonprofit has worked with professional musicians to produce more than 46,000 tailor-made songs for children with serious illnesses. “It makes me feel like I’m not the only one that’s going through this.” Logan says in a video.
“A song is a communal (共有的), cultural product that says you’re not alone.” says a professor at New York University.
The problem, according to the Songs of Love Foundation founder and president John Beltzer, is how to engage a population growing up listening to music from the past, like big band and swing. “There was no way that we could have found enough songwriters out there to be able to create those tracks in an authentic (真实的) way.”
So he reached out to the AI music platform Suno for help, and the company responded by giving Songs of Love contributors free access to its music-making tools. “We will have some songwriters who will take a rough recording of themselves and use our tool to transform that into a well-produced track.” said Suno CEO.
Thomas Jones, one of around 200 musicians working with the foundation, has been using Suno’s tools a lot lately. He said he feels the same sense of satisfaction when composing a song with AI. “To me, it’s just another way of expressing yourself. It’s a box of crayons.”
But for others it’s different. “There is a relationship between the songwriter and the patient. They’re trying to connect.” said Sangeeta Swamy, a music therapist. “AI-generated songs feel different to me. They’re missing that connective, human element.”
4. What is the purpose of the Songs of Love Foundation?
A. To attract professional musicians. B. To give comfort to sick children.
C. To produce songs for financial profit. D. To raise money for seriously ill children.
5. How does the AI music platform Suno help songwriters?
A. By engaging more people in song writing.
B. By polishing their recordings with AI tools.
C. By involving the youth in music of the past.
D. By connecting them with professional big bands.
6. What does Thomas Jones mean by saying “It’s a box of crayons.” in paragraph 5?
A. AI is a symbol of childhood memories. B. AI is a source of personal satisfaction.
C. AI is a tool for artistic expression. D. AI is a method for drawing pictures.
7. What is Sangeeta Swamy’s attitude toward AI-generated songs?
A. Unclear. B. Curious. C. Unfavorable. D. Supportive.
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲Songs of Love基金会近30年为重病儿童定制超4.6万首歌以慰藉他们,因难寻创作特定曲风的人,与Suno合作借AI助创作,有人认可AI,也有人认为其缺人文联结。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“For nearly 30 years, the nonprofit has worked with professional musicians to produce more than 46,000 tailor-made songs for children with serious illnesses. “It makes me feel like I’m not the only one that’s going through this.” Logan says in a video.(近30年来,这家非营利组织一直与专业音乐家合作,为患有严重疾病的儿童创作了超过46000首量身定制的歌曲。洛根在一段视频中说道:“这让我觉得我并非是唯一一个经历这种状况的人。”)”可知,“爱之歌基金会”的宗旨是为患病儿童提供慰藉。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“We will have some songwriters who will take a rough recording of themselves and use our tool to transform that into a well-produced track.(我们将会有一些歌曲创作者,他们会先录制一段原始的音频,然后利用我们的工具将其加工成高质量的歌曲)”可知,人工智能音乐平台“苏诺”通过利用人工智能工具来优化他们的作品录音,从而帮助词曲作者。故选B。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线句前文“Thomas Jones, one of around 200 musicians working with the foundation, has been using Suno’s tools a lot lately. He said he feels the same sense of satisfaction when composing a song with AI. “To me, it’s just another way of expressing yourself.(托马斯·琼斯是与该基金会合作的约200名音乐家之一,他最近频繁使用苏诺的工具。他表示,在借助人工智能创作歌曲时,他也能获得同样的满足感。“对我来说,这不过是一种表达自我的新方式罢了。”)”可知,托马斯·琼斯说“这是一盒蜡笔”这句话意味着人工智能是用于艺术表达的工具。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“AI-generated songs feel different to me. They’re missing that connective, human element.(我感觉由人工智能生成的歌曲与传统歌曲有所不同。它们缺少那种具有连贯性且充满人性的元素)”可推知,桑吉塔·斯瓦米对人工智能创作的歌曲持不支持态度。故选C。
C
Searching the web or looking around a major grocery store, we’ll find trendy household and beauty products labelled “natural,” or “green.” We thought we were slowing the chemical pollution crisis by swapping (交换) the “natural” products for non-toxic (无毒的) cleaning alternatives and ensuring our beauty products only have natural substances. Yet, studies demonstrate that green cleaning products and common sustainable swaps still contain substances that are harmful to human life.
The use of new chemicals in the home has expanded rapidly in the past five decades. To meet that moment, the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) was passed in 1976, regulating (管理) more than 80,000 chemicals and their usage through the Food and Drug Administration. Yet, the TSCA allowed for more than 60,000 chemicals that were on the market to continue being used without additional safety protections. Unlike medicines, which underwent strict testing, chemicals in cleaning and beauty products often lack comprehensive toxicity data. While some states, including California, require greater protections from risky chemicals, government control is still not enough.
One key issue with so-called“green” products is their use of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which easily escape into the air at room temperature and can create dangerous indoor pollutants. The result? VOCs contribute to breathing problems, allergic (过敏的) reactions, and headaches. Endocrine (内分泌的) imbalance is another major issue hiding in household products, including those marketed as safe or sustainable. These chemicals disturb body functions, potentially leading to physical disorders and even certain cancers.
If government control remains limited and companies continue to market misleading “green” products, what can consumers do? While official policies attempted to address chemical risks, significant gaps remain. To reduce exposure to harmful substances, producers must look beyond greenwashing and advocate for systemic change — whether through stricter guidelines or the reintroduction of traditional, non-toxic alternatives. Until then, it remains up to consumers to critically assess the products they bring into their homes and onto their bodies.
8. What does the author want to tell us in paragraph 1?
A. Natural products dominate store shelves. B. Chemical pollution has worsened.
C. Consumers distrust sustainable swaps. D. Green products still have risks.
9. What was the problem of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)?
A. It banned some useful chemicals. B. It allowed for the use of risky chemicals.
C. It focused on the usage of medicines. D. It misused comprehensive toxicity data.
10. Which aspect of “green” household products does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Their health risks. B. Their marketing strategy.
C. Their performance stability. D. Their specific functions.
11. What does the author suggest consumers do in the last paragraph?
A. Wait for stricter guidelines. B. Return to traditional alternatives.
C. Evaluate products carefully. D. Trust green products with natural labels.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出市面上“天然”“绿色” 产品仍含有害物质,1976年TSCA监管不足,其含VOCs 等致健康风险,呼吁企业变革,消费者需审慎评估产品。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“We thought we were slowing the chemical pollution crisis by swapping (交换) the “natural” products for non-toxic (无毒的) cleaning alternatives and ensuring our beauty products only have natural substances. Yet, studies demonstrate that green cleaning products and common sustainable swaps still contain substances that are harmful to human life.(我们以为,通过用无毒的清洁替代品取代“天然”产品,并确保我们的美容产品只含天然物质,我们正在减缓化学污染危机。然而,研究表明,绿色清洁产品和常见的可持续替代品仍然含有对人类生命有害的物质。)”可推知,作者在第一段想告诉我们绿色产品仍有风险。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“To meet that moment, the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) was passed in 1976, regulating (管理) more than 80,000 chemicals and their usage through the Food and Drug Administration. Yet, the TSCA allowed for more than 60,000 chemicals that were on the market to continue being used without additional safety protections.(为了迎接这一时刻,1976年通过了《有毒物质控制法》(TSCA),通过食品和药物管理局(Food and Drug Administration)对8万多种化学物质及其使用进行了监管。然而,《有毒物质控制法》允许市场上超过6万种化学物质在没有额外安全保护的情况下继续使用。)”可知,该法案的问题是允许使用有风险的化学物质。故选B项。
10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“One key issue with so-called“green” products is their use of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which easily escape into the air at room temperature and can create dangerous indoor pollutants. The result? VOCs contribute to breathing problems, allergic (过敏的) reactions, and headaches. Endocrine (内分泌的) imbalance is another major issue hiding in household products, including those marketed as safe or sustainable. These chemicals disturb body functions, potentially leading to physical disorders and even certain cancers.(所谓的“绿色”产品的一个关键问题是它们使用了挥发性有机化合物(VOCs),这种化合物在室温下很容易逃逸到空气中,并可能产生危险的室内污染物。结果呢?挥发性有机化合物会导致呼吸问题、过敏反应和头痛。内分泌失调是隐藏在家用产品中的另一个主要问题,包括那些标榜安全或可持续的产品。这些化学物质会扰乱身体机能,可能导致身体失调,甚至某些癌症。)”可知,第三段主要讲的是“绿色”家居产品的健康风险内容。故选A项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“To reduce exposure to harmful substances, producers must look beyond greenwashing and advocate for systemic change — whether through stricter guidelines or the reintroduction of traditional, non-toxic alternatives. Until then, it remains up to consumers to critically assess the products they bring into their homes and onto their bodies.(为了减少对有害物质的接触,生产商必须超越“漂绿”,倡导系统性变革——无论是通过更严格的指导方针,还是重新引入传统的无毒替代品。在此之前,消费者需要对他们带入家中和身体的产品进行严格评估。)”可知,作者在最后一段建议消费者仔细评估产品。故选C项。
D
Female moths (蛾) don’t rely on sight or smell alone. They can also hear stressed plants. Scientists found that these insects detect ultrasonic (超声的) clicks from plants under drought stress and use them when choosing egg-laying sites.
Plants produce airborne ultrasonic sounds when stressed. These vibrations (震颤), previously thought to be undetectable by animals, can travel through the air. The Egyptian cotton leafworm moth, Spodoptera littoralis, hears these sounds. This species has ears sensitive to the 20 to 60 kHz range, with peak sensitivity around 38 kHz. That is where many plant clicks fall.
The researchers assumed that female moths might use these plant sounds to decide where to lay eggs. Their experiments confirmed this. The study involved multiple experiments with precise setups. In a no-plant environment, moths preferred laying eggs near a speaker playing recorded plant stress sounds. When these moths were deafened, the preference disappeared. This proved that the response came from hearing, not other cues (提示). In contrast, when healthy plants were added and the same sounds were played near one, the moths chose the silent plant. This indicated that when real plants were present, moths correctly interpreted the sounds as warnings.
Scientists find that without a visible plant, sound becomes the only cue. So moths associate it with plant presence. But when they can see or smell real plants, and one gives off stress sounds, they avoid it. This shows a context-based decision-making process.
This study reveals that plant sounds can guide insect behavior. The researchers think other animals might also use these sounds. “In this study, we revealed the first evidence for acoustic (声学的) interaction between a plant and an insect. We are convinced that this is just the beginning,” noted the researchers. “Acoustic interaction between plants and animals doubtlessly has many more forms and a wide range of roles.”
12. Why can the Egyptian cotton leafworm moth hear plant clicks?
A. They are especially loud. B. They are entirely distinct.
C. They travel via special media. D. They match its hearing range.
13. What did the moths choose when real plants were present in the experiment?
A. The speaker playing sounds. B. Plants giving off no warning signals.
C. Healthy plants producing sounds. D. Plants needing to be watered.
14. Which word best describes the impact of the research according to the last paragraph?
A. Far-reaching. B. Controllable. C. Short-lived. D. Tolerable.
15. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Plants give off measurable stress sounds
B. Plants make stress sounds for lack of water
C. Moths guide complex plant-insect interactions
D. Moths detect plant sounds for egg-laying choices
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究发现雌蛾能通过听觉感知植物受压时发出的超声波,并利用这些声音选择产卵地点,揭示了植物与昆虫之间新的声学互动方式,且这种互动可能具有广泛的生态意义。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“This species has ears sensitive to the 20 to 60 kHz range, with peak sensitivity around 38 kHz. That is where many plant clicks fall. (该物种的耳朵对20至60千赫兹范围内的声音敏感,峰值敏感度约为38千赫兹。而许多植物发出的咔哒声正好落在这个范围内)”可知,这种飞蛾能够听到植物发出的咔哒声是因为这一声音频率与它们的听觉范围相匹配。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“In contrast, when healthy plants were added and the same sounds were played near one, the moths chose the silent plant. This indicated that when real plants were present, moths correctly interpreted the sounds as warnings. (相反,当加入健康的植物并在其中一株附近播放相同的声音时,飞蛾选择了没有声音的植物。这表明当真实植物存在时,飞蛾正确地将其声音解读为警告信号)”可知,实验显示,当真实植物存在时,飞蛾会选择没有发出警告信号的植物。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中研究者所说的话“In this study, we revealed the first evidence for acoustic (声学的) interaction between a plant and an insect. We are convinced that this is just the beginning (在这项研究中,我们首次揭示了植物与昆虫之间的声学互动证据。我们确信,这仅仅是一个开端)”和“Acoustic interaction between plants and animals doubtlessly has many more forms and a wide range of roles. (植物与动物之间的声学互动无疑具有更多形式和广泛的作用)”可知,这项研究提供了植物与昆虫之间的声学互动的首份证据,表明这种互动可能具有广泛的意义,因此它具有深远影响。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Female moths (蛾) don’t rely on sight or smell alone. They can also hear stressed plants. Scientists found that these insects detect ultrasonic (超声的) clicks from plants under drought stress and use them when choosing egg-laying sites. (雌蛾不仅依靠视觉或嗅觉。它们还能“听见”受压的植物。科学家发现,这些昆虫能够探测到干旱压力下的植物发出的超声波咔嗒声,并利用这些声音来选择产卵地点)”可知,文章主要介绍了雌蛾如何利用植物受压时发出的超声波来选择产卵地点,揭示了植物与昆虫之间新的互动方式。因此,D项“飞蛾通过检测植物声音来选择产卵地点”最契合文章主旨,适合作为文章标题。故选D项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了北京坊通过融合历史建筑保护与现代化商业运营,成功吸引年轻人和家庭游客,成为一个兼具文化传承与经济活力的城市更新典范。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:今年夏天,一场灵感源自中国古代神话《山海经》的沉浸式灯光秀在北京坊——北京市中心的一个文化商业街区——吸引了年轻观众。句子已有谓语,空处是非谓语,作light show的后置定语,结合空后的“by”可知,inspire“赋予灵感”和light show逻辑上是被动关系,因此用inspire的过去分词形式。故填inspired。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:这导致游客数量显著增加,尤其是有孩子的家庭。根据“families”和“children”可知,此处指“有孩子的家庭”,应用介词with表示“具有”。故填with。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:北京坊是一个城市更新示范项目,整合了历史建筑,其中最著名的是劝业场大楼。空处和空前的among搭配,形成“介词+关系代词”的结构,引导非限制性定语从句,对先行词historic buildings作补充说明,先行词指物,作介词among的宾语,因此用关系代词which。故填which。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意:这座建于清末的商业楼于2006年被列为全国重点文物保护单位。空处作句子的谓语,根据“in 2006”可知,本句在叙述过去发生的事情,时态应用一般过去时,list“把……列入名单”和主语it之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,且主语是it,be动词应用was。故填was listed。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它没有被改造成永久性商业空间,而是通过举办短期展览来保护历史,同时恢复其功能。句子已有谓语,空处是非谓语,作目的状语,表示“为了/来……”,应用preserve“保护”的不定式形式。故填to preserve。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:另一座修复的建筑是Pageone书店,读者在这里可以欣赏正阳门的景色——北京中轴线的一部分。空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词a place,先行词在从句中表示行为发生的地点,作地点状语,应用关系副词where作引导词。故填where。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意:书店老板巧妙利用这一位置,设计了一个主题区,这里已成为社交媒体上的热门打卡地。空处连接前后两个谓语成分takes advantage of this location和designs a themed zone,两者之间是顺承关系,应用并列连词and。故填and。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意:同时,名创优品、瑞幸咖啡、Manner咖啡等连锁品牌的入驻,使北京坊在经济上更具可持续性。空处修饰形容词sustainable,副词economically符合题意,意为“经济上”。故填economically。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:计划今年开放的第二期将推出现场音乐场所和互动戏曲表演,旨在为年轻人提供沉浸式参与。空处作offer的宾语,被immersive youth修饰,名词engagement符合题意,意为“密切联系”,是不可数名词。故填engagement。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:刘安宁是一名18岁学生,他表示北京坊将历史建筑与潮流店铺结合,既时尚又便利。空处表示泛指,意为“一名18岁学生”,应用不定冠词,且18-year-old的发音以元音音素开头,应用an。故填an。

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。
In social studies class on Monday, Mrs. Petrovski assigned a story-telling project on Thursday: students had to bring a relative to share stories, which would be videotaped. David was excited—his grandmother, Abuela, was good at telling tales. She had the magic to make every story come alive before his eyes.
That afternoon, David rushed home excitedly, telling his grandmother about the project. Her eyes lit up. “I have the perfect story to share,” she assured. The next day, she prepared enthusiastically, shopping for fabrics at Petra’s Fabric Place, where everyone knew her as a skilled tailor. She’d started sewing there after moving in, easing her loneliness. She felt like she knew everyone in class including Mrs. Petrovski well because David talked about them all the time. Therefore, she decided to make hand-sewn gifts tailored for each one. Learning that Mrs. Petrovski’s mother, a Russian living in America for many years, would come as well, she would make a lovely traditional Russian hat for her as a special surprise. In the next two days, she rushed to get things done.
But on Wednesday, David’s excitement faded when classmates shared their relatives’ dramatic stories: Joseph’s grandfather, a retired policeman, had chased a cat that stole a purse; Ramon’s father, a firefighter, had rescued workers from a factory fire; Marisa’s aunt, a vet (兽医), had saved a mistreated dog. Compared to these exciting tales, David worried his grandmother’s story about sewing would seem boring.
He considered pretending to be sick, practicing fake (假的) coughs on his way home. After he tried this excuse at home, he also pointed out that the gifts prepared for the presentation hadn’t been put into the bags yet. Abuela looked thoughtful, telling him how she learnt to sew from her mother during childhood illness. David was speechless. He realized how important sewing was to his grandmother and how she expected to share with others her story about sewing.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150词左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At that moment, he felt ashamed of himself.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Next morning, he accompanied Abuela to the presentation, bags in hand.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 At that moment, he felt ashamed of himself. Immersed in a surge of regret, he hugged Abuela and extended his sincere apology for being silly, adding that her story would definitely be the best. She patted his back softly, her eyes shining like diamonds. Catching sight of the empty bags lying on the table, he offered to help her pack the hand-sewn treasures carefully. As they worked together, he kept imagining how wonderful her sewing story would be, his heart filled with expectation.
Next morning, he accompanied Abuela to the presentation, bags in hand. Eager and curious, the class cheered as each relative shared vivid stories. Soon, it was Abuela’s turn. With a soft smile, she handed out the hand-sewn gifts to their receivers with the assistance of David, and told how sewing, which was learnt during childhood illness, accompanied her through the ups and downs of life. Eyes wide with amazement, everyone admired the gifts, soft murmurs of praise rippling through the room. When she finished, thunderous applause echoed. David felt his chest swell with pride as he saw Abuela’s bright smile, and he knew that her story had touched the class more than any other.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了大卫在学校接到一个故事分享项目任务,需要带一位亲戚来分享故事并录像。大卫原本很兴奋,因为他的祖母Abuela擅长讲故事,能将每个故事都生动地呈现在他眼前。然而,当听到同学们分享的亲戚们的惊险故事后,大卫开始担心祖母分享的关于缝纫的故事会显得无聊,甚至一度想假装生病来逃避。但祖母的回忆和期待让他意识到缝纫对祖母的重要性,以及祖母希望与他人分享自己缝纫故事的愿望。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“在那一刻,他为自己感到羞愧。”可知,第一段可描写大卫内心的转变过程。
②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上,他陪外婆去参加展示活动,手里提着几个包。”可知,第二段可描写第二天展示活动上的情景。
2.续写线索:道歉——提出帮忙——期待——分发礼物——讲故事——大家鼓掌——大卫感悟
