Richard Proenneke did what most nature lovers can only dream of: At age 51, he quit his job as a mechanic and moved to the Alaskan wilderness to become one with nature.
In 1962, Proenneke encountered the area Twin Lakes, now called Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. Its wild beauty struck a chord with Proenneke. He thought the area was a perfect place to settle. In 1968, he built a small cabin there and remained for the next 30 years.
Going such long periods without companionship would tax many a person. But that was not the case for Proenneke. An obsessive observer and diarist, Proenneke once noted he was so busy with his life that he was never lonely. He spent most of his free time writing about the weather, the environment and the animals, some of which he befriended with regular treats. He hiked thousands of miles per year, becoming quite familiar with the miles of wilderness around his cabin. He caught and ate fish from the lake. Having no refrigerator, he dug into the ground and created a chilly storage box that helped to prolong his fresh foods.
Yet Proenneke wasn’t a bitter or angry isolationist (孤立主义者). He happily wrote replies to just about anyone who sent him letters. During the 30 years, Proenneke filled up more than 250 notepads with his diary entries. He also carried a camera to record some of his daily activities. Along with a biography composed by his friend Sam Keith, Proenneke’s notepads and camera footage were later turned into a documentary, Alone in the Wilderness.
In his will, Proenneke left behind his Twin Lakes cabin to the park rangers (护林员) as a gift. Actually, he had become such an important part of the park’s ecosystem that the rangers had trouble imagining life without him.

The interview had been going on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going well. Then, suddenly, the interviewer asks an unexpected question, “Which is more important, law or Dove?”
Job applicants in the West increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this. And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China.
Employers want people skilled, enthusiastic and devoted. So these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent job applicants will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are. In response, employers are increasingly using questions which try and show the applicant’s true personality.
The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Keirsey Personality Sorter. It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems, rather than what they know. This is often called an aptitude test (能力倾向测验).
According to Mark Baldwin many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult. When a Chinese person fills out an aptitude test he or she will think there is a right answer and they may fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see.
This is sometimes called the prisoner’s dilemma. Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest. But they fail because they don’t understand what the interviewer is looking for. Remember that in an aptitude test, the correct answer is always the honest answer.
8. The writer wrote the passage to________.
A. give you a piece of advice on a job interview B. tell you how to meet a job interviewer
C. describe the aptitude test D. advice you how to find a job
9. Why do the interviewers ask such questions?
A. They want to discover what the interviewees know.
B. They are curious about the answers.
C. They try to discover the ability of the interviewees solving problems.
D. They just ask questions without thinking much.
10. According to the writer in an aptitude test, Chinese job applicants should________.
A. not tell the truth B. learn to tell what they really think
C. be more enthusiastic D. try to find out what the examiner really want to know
11. From the passage we know that________.
A. job applicants are always asked such questions
B. more Chinese applicants fail to find a job
C. applicants should not act as reasonably as a prisoner
D. the aptitude test is becoming popular worldwide
D
Studies have shown the mere exposure effect, also referred to as the familiarity principle, inspires our decisions. It is a helpful psychological mechanism (机制) that helps us maintain our energy and focus our attention on other things. Getting used to new things takes effort and it can be tiring. So unless we have a terrible experience, we are likely to buy from companies we’ve got used to. That is why companies spend so much money on advertising and marketing and why insurance companies openly charge existing customers more than new ones.
It’s not the case that we only desire things we already know. Some studies suggest when invited to share our preferences, we sometimes see less familiar choices as more desirable. But when acting on that preference, we fall back to what we know. This might explain why sometimes the things we want and the things we do don’t quite match up. We might even return to companies that treated us poorly in the past or stay in bad relationships.
It’s easy to paint the familiarity principle as an enemy or something to battle as if it is something that holds us back from living our dreams. But this attitude might be overwhelming because it tends to encourage us toward big-picture thinking. Where we imagine that change requires a substantial dramatic (巨大而突然的) swing that we don’t feel ready for. Some articles suggest the solution to familiarity frustration is complete exposure to novelty (新奇的事物). While this can appear effective in the short run, we may only end up replacing one problem with another. It also risks overwhelm and burnout.
So what if we can work with the familiarity principle instead? Familiarity is something we can learn to play with and enjoy. It is a setting for creativity and a pathway to expansion. We can broaden the zone of familiarity bit by bit. If we think of familiarity as something that can expand, we can consider changing the conditions in and around our lies to make more space for our preferences to take root and grow gently. From here, we will start to make decisions, drawing from an ever-deepening pool of valuable alternatives.
12. What allows insurance companies to charge old customers more?
A. The familiarity principle. B. The advertising cost.
C. The improved service. D. The law of the market.
13. What can be learned from paragraph 2?
A. Our preferences affect our decisions.
B. There can be a mismatch between desires and actions.
C. The familiarity principle is a double-edged sword.
D. Familiarity tends to generate disrespect.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards the solution in some articles?
A. Objective. B. Favorable. C. Disapproving. D. Tolerant.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Gently Expand Your Familiarity Zone B. Step Out Of Your Familiarity Zone
C. Spare A Thought For Your Preference D. Give Priority To The Mere Exposure Effect

I spent 15 years trying to make it in the music industry. When I was a teenager, I did any odd job to afford time in a recording studio. I knocked at managers’ doors and sent out demo (录音样带) after demo, but I got nowhere. In 2010, aged 27, I was doing a job in a restaurant when I wrote a song called Dream Goes On. It was a song about never giving up. I just let out all of my frustrations at the keyboard.
Over the next five years, the music career never materialized but I persisted. Then, in 2019, I uploaded Dream Goes On to a music-sharing website. I just wanted someone to notice my music.
Later that year, I received an email out of the blue from Music World from South Korea, requesting a license for the song. They had chosen my song from the millions on the music-sharing website for a theme tune for one of their shows. I was amazed and negotiated a contract for $5,000 for the use of the song and signed up straight away. I was pretty excited, but didn’t think anything more would come of it, so I focused on my job in the restaurant.
This February, Music World organized a musical festival in Seoul and my song Dream Goes On was also chosen as the theme tune for the festival. I watched on YouTube as my song was being played to a huge crowd of people. It was amazing.
After three days of the festival, I was contacted by Music World and they asked if I’d like to go to Seoul to sing Dream Goes On in a concert. They flew me out there the next day. I was welcomed like a celebrity—everyone I met thought I was a big name in England. I had to break the news to them that I wasn’t a pop star.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
I had never performed the song live, and hadn’t been on stage for years.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the concert, I had photographers and journalists battling to interview me.

Richard Proenneke did what most nature lovers can only dream of: At age 51, he quit his job as a mechanic and moved to the Alaskan wilderness to become one with nature.
In 1962, Proenneke encountered the area Twin Lakes, now called Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. Its wild beauty struck a chord with Proenneke. He thought the area was a perfect place to settle. In 1968, he built a small cabin there and remained for the next 30 years.
Going such long periods without companionship would tax many a person. But that was not the case for Proenneke. An obsessive observer and diarist, Proenneke once noted he was so busy with his life that he was never lonely. He spent most of his free time writing about the weather, the environment and the animals, some of which he befriended with regular treats. He hiked thousands of miles per year, becoming quite familiar with the miles of wilderness around his cabin. He caught and ate fish from the lake. Having no refrigerator, he dug into the ground and created a chilly storage box that helped to prolong his fresh foods.
Yet Proenneke wasn’t a bitter or angry isolationist (孤立主义者). He happily wrote replies to just about anyone who sent him letters. During the 30 years, Proenneke filled up more than 250 notepads with his diary entries. He also carried a camera to record some of his daily activities. Along with a biography composed by his friend Sam Keith, Proenneke’s notepads and camera footage were later turned into a documentary, Alone in the Wilderness.
In his will, Proenneke left behind his Twin Lakes cabin to the park rangers (护林员) as a gift. Actually, he had become such an important part of the park’s ecosystem that the rangers had trouble imagining life without him.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了理查德·普伦内克在51岁时辞去机械师的工作,搬到了阿拉斯加的荒野,与自然融为一体。在那里,他建造了一间小木屋,独自一人生活,但是他从来没有感觉孤独。他写了250多本日记,还携带了一台摄像机来记录他的一些日常活动。最后,他把他的小木屋留给公园流浪者作为礼物。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Richard Proenneke did what most nature lovers can only dream of: At age 51, he quit his job as a mechanic and moved to the Alaskan wilderness to become one with nature.(理查德·普伦内克做了大多数自然爱好者只能梦想的事情:51岁时,他辞去了机械师的工作,搬到了阿拉斯加的荒野,与自然融为一体)”可知,理查德·普伦内克和其他自然爱好者不同的是他独自一人搬到了荒野居住,和大自然融为一体。故选D。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段划线所在句子的前半句话“Going such long periods without companionship (这么长时间没有伴侣)”以及后几句话“But that was not the case for Proenneke. An obsessive observer and diarist, Proenneke once noted he was so busy with his life that he was never lonely. He spent most of his free time writing about the weather, the environment and the animals, some of which he befriended with regular treats. (但普伦内克并非如此。作为一名痴迷的观察家和日记作者,普伦内克曾指出,他忙于自己的生活,从不感到孤独。他大部分空闲时间都在写天气、环境和动物,其中一些是他经常招待的朋友。)”可知,对于大多数人来,长时间独居会让人感到劳累,甚至崩溃。但是对于普伦内克来说并非如此。他有很多事情可做,从不感到孤单。由此可知,tax的意思为“挫败”。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段倒数中“He spent most of his free time writing about the weather, the environment and the animals, some of which he befriended with regular treats. He hiked thousands of miles per year, becoming quite familiar with the miles of wilderness around his cabin. He caught and ate fish from the lake. Having no refrigerator, he dug into the ground and created a chilly storage box that helped to prolong his fresh foods.(他大部分空闲时间都在写天气、环境和动物,其中一些是他经常招待的朋友。他每年徒步数千英里,对小屋周围数英里的荒野十分熟悉。他抓住并吃了湖里的鱼。由于没有冰箱,他在地里挖出一个冰冷的储藏箱,这有助于延长他的新鲜食物)”可知,普伦内克独自一人生活在荒野中并不感到孤单,有很多事情可以做,但这些事情多数和自然有关。由此可知推知,他在Twin Lakes的生活既简单又充实。故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了理查德·普伦内克在51岁时辞去机械师的工作,搬到了阿拉斯加的荒野,与自然融为一体。在那里,他建造了一间小木屋,独自一人生活,但是他从来没有感觉孤独。他写了250多本日记,还携带了一台摄像机来记录他的一些日常活动。最后,他把他的小木屋留给公园流浪者作为礼物。所以,“一个人的‘阿拉斯加’”适合作文章的标题。故选A。

阅读理解。
The interview had been going on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going well. Then, suddenly, the interviewer asks an unexpected question, “Which is more important, law or Dove?”
Job applicants in the West increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this. And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China.
Employers want people skilled, enthusiastic and devoted. So these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent job applicants will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are. In response, employers are increasingly using questions which try and show the applicant’s true personality.
The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Keirsey Personality Sorter. It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems, rather than what they know. This is often called an aptitude test (能力倾向测验).
According to Mark Baldwin many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult. When a Chinese person fills out an aptitude test he or she will think there is a right answer and they may fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see.
This is sometimes called the prisoner’s dilemma. Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest. But they fail because they don’t understand what the interviewer is looking for. Remember that in an aptitude test, the correct answer is always the honest answer.
8 The writer wrote the passage to________.
A. give you a piece of advice on a job interview B. tell you how to meet a job interviewer
C. describe the aptitude test D. advice you how to find a job
9. Why do the interviewers ask such questions?
A. They want to discover what the interviewees know.
B. They are curious about the answers.
C. They try to discover the ability of the interviewees solving problems.
D. They just ask questions without thinking much.
10. According to the writer, in an aptitude test, Chinese job applicants should________.
A. not tell the truth B. learn to tell what they really think
C. be more enthusiastic D. try to find out what the examiner really want to know
11. From the passage we know that________.
A. job applicants are always asked such questions
B. more Chinese applicants fail to find a job
C. applicants should not act as reasonably as a prisoner
D. the aptitude test is becoming popular worldwide
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者通过描述现在社会上面试过程中存在的问题,给需要面试者提供了建议。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Remember that in an aptitude test, the correct answer is always the honest answer.”(记住,在能力倾向测试中,正确答案永远是诚实的答案。)可知,这是作者给面试者提供的建议。所以,作者写这篇文章主要是为了给读者提供一个工作面试的建议。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解。根据第四段“It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems,rather than what they know.”(这是一种尝试,去发现人们是如何解决问题的,而不是他们知道什么。)可知,面试官要问这样的问题是在试图发现被采访者解决问题的能力。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Remember that in an aptitude test, the correct answer is always the honest answer.”(记住,在能力倾向测试中,正确答案永远是诚实的答案。)可知,根据作者的观点,在能力测试中,中国求职者应该学会说出他们的真实想法。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Job applicants in the West increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this.And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China.”(在西方,求职者越来越多地发现自己会被问到这样奇怪的问题。有迹象表明,这种情况正开始在中国发生。)所以,从文章中我们知道能力倾向测试在全世界都很流行。故选D。
D
Studies have shown the mere exposure effect, also referred to as the familiarity principle, inspires our decisions. It is a helpful psychological mechanism (机制) that helps us maintain our energy and focus our attention on other things. Getting used to new things takes effort and it can be tiring. So unless we have a terrible experience, we are likely to buy from companies we’ve got used to. That is why companies spend so much money on advertising and marketing and why insurance companies openly charge existing customers more than new ones.
It’s not the case that we only desire things we already know. Some studies suggest when invited to share our preferences, we sometimes see less familiar choices as more desirable. But when acting on that preference, we fall back to what we know. This might explain why sometimes the things we want and the things we do don’t quite match up. We might even return to companies that treated us poorly in the past or stay in bad relationships.
It’s easy to paint the familiarity principle as an enemy or something to battle as if it is something that holds us back from living our dreams. But this attitude might be overwhelming because it tends to encourage us toward big-picture thinking. Where we imagine that change requires a substantial dramatic (巨大而突然的) swing that we don’t feel ready for. Some articles suggest the solution to familiarity frustration is complete exposure to novelty (新奇的事物). While this can appear effective in the short run, we may only end up replacing one problem with another. It also risks overwhelm and burnout.
So what if we can work with the familiarity principle instead? Familiarity is something we can learn to play with and enjoy. It is a setting for creativity and a pathway to expansion. We can broaden the zone of familiarity bit by bit. If we think of familiarity as something that can expand, we can consider changing the conditions in and around our lies to make more space for our preferences to take root and grow gently. From here, we will start to make decisions, drawing from an ever-deepening pool of valuable alternatives.
12. What allows insurance companies to charge old customers more?
A. The familiarity principle. B. The advertising cost.
C. The improved service. D. The law of the market.
13. What can be learned from paragraph 2?
A. Our preferences affect our decisions.
B. There can be a mismatch between desires and actions.
C. The familiarity principle is a double-edged sword.
D. Familiarity tends to generate disrespect.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards the solution in some articles?
A. Objective. B. Favorable. C. Disapproving. D. Tolerant.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Gently Expand Your Familiarity Zone B. Step Out Of Your Familiarity Zone
C. Spare A Thought For Your Preference D. Give Priority To The Mere Exposure Effect
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了熟悉性原则对我们决策的影响,并提出了一种平衡的观点来看待这个原则,而不是将其视为阻碍,作者建议我们可以通过逐步扩展熟悉区域来利用这一原则来促进创造性和成长。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Studies have shown the mere exposure effect, also referred to as the familiarity principle, inspires our decisions. It is a helpful psychological mechanism (机制) that helps us maintain our energy and focus our attention on other things. Getting used to new things takes effort and it can be tiring. So unless we have a terrible experience, we are likely to buy from companies we’ve got used to. That is why companies spend so much money on advertising and marketing and why insurance companies openly charge existing customers more than new ones.(研究表明,单纯的暴露效应,也被称为熟悉原则,会激发我们的决定。这是一种有益的心理机制,可以帮助我们保持精力充沛,把注意力集中在其他事情上。习惯新事物需要努力,而且可能会很累。因此,除非我们有糟糕的经历,否则我们很可能会从我们已经习惯的公司购买股票。这就是为什么公司在广告和营销上花那么多钱,为什么保险公司公开向现有客户收取比新客户更高的费用)”可知,熟悉原则让保险公司向老客户收取更多费用。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“It’s not the case that we only desire things we already know. Some studies suggest when invited to share our preferences, we sometimes see less familiar choices as more desirable. But when acting on that preference, we fall back to what we know. This might explain why sometimes the things we want and the things we do don’t quite match up. We might even return to companies that treated us poorly in the past or stay in bad relationships.(这并不是说我们只想要已知的东西。一些研究表明,当被邀请分享我们的偏好时,我们有时会认为不太熟悉的选择更可取。但当我们按照这种偏好行事时,我们又回到了我们所知道的。这也许可以解释为什么有时候我们想要的和我们做的并不完全匹配。我们甚至可能回到过去对我们不好的公司,或者保持糟糕的关系)”可知,本段解释了为什么有时候我们想要的和我们做的并不完全匹配,也就是说有时候我们的欲望和行动可能不匹配。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“While this can appear effective in the short run, we may only end up replacing one problem with another. It also risks overwhelm and burnout.(虽然这在短期内看起来是有效的,但我们最终可能只是用一个问题代替另一个问题。它也有让人不堪重负和精疲力竭的风险。)”可知,这段话表明作者对文章中提出的解决方案持反对态度,认为这种解决方案可能只是暂时有效,而且可能带来新的问题和风险。因此,作者的态度是反对的。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Studies have shown the mere exposure effect, also referred to as the familiarity principle, inspires our decisions. It is a helpful psychological mechanism (机制) that helps us maintain our energy and focus our attention on other things. Getting used to new things takes effort and it can be tiring.(研究表明,单纯的暴露效应,也被称为熟悉原则,会激发我们的决定。这是一种有益的心理机制,可以帮助我们保持精力充沛,把注意力集中在其他事情上。习惯新事物需要努力,而且可能会很累)”以及最后一段“We can broaden the zone of familiarity bit by bit. If we think of familiarity as something that can expand, we can consider changing the conditions in and around our lies to make more space for our preferences to take root and grow gently. From here, we will start to make decisions, drawing from an ever-deepening pool of valuable alternatives.(我们可以一点一点地扩大熟悉的范围。如果我们认为熟悉是一种可以扩展的东西,我们可以考虑改变我们谎言内部和周围的条件,为我们的偏好提供更多的空间,让它生根发芽。从这里开始,我们将开始从不断加深的有价值的选择中做出决定)”可知,文章主要讨论了熟悉性原则对我们决策的影响,以及如何利用这一原则进行创新和拓展。文章强调了我们可以逐步扩大熟悉的范围,通过改变生活中的条件,为我们的偏好提供更多的空间,使其能够生根并温和地成长。因此,选项A“慢慢扩大你的熟悉范围”最能概括文章的主题。故选A。

Five Ways to Make People Like You
●Be a good listener
Encourage others to talk about themselves. The easiest way to become a good conversationalist(健谈的人)is to become a good listener. To be a good listener,we must actually care about what people have to say.___16___.Instead,they just want someone who will listen to them.
●Smile
___17___. Smiles are free to give and have an amazing ability to make others feel wonderful. Smile in everything that you do.
●Remember a person's name
To any person,his/her name is the sweetest and most important sound in any language.___18___ People love their names so much that they will often donate large amounts of money just to have a building named after them. We can make people feel extremely valued and important by remembering their names.
● ___19___
You can make more friends in two months by giving attention to them than by making them curious about you in two years. The only way to make quality,lasting friendships is to learn to be genuinely interested in them and their interests.
●Make the other person feel important and do it sincerely
The golden rule is to treat other people how we would like to be treated. ___20___ People will talk to us for hours if we allow them to talk about themselves. If we can make people feel important in a sincere and appreciative way,then we will win all the friends we could ever dream of.
A. Become genuinely interested in other people
B. Share your interests with other people around you
C. We love to feel important and so does everyone else
D. Many times people don't want an entertaining conversation partner
E. You should make other people feel confident whenever and wherever possible

G. The average people are more interested in their own names than in all the other names
【答案】16. D 17. E 18. G 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文,详细介绍了让别人喜欢上我们的五条建议。
【16题详解】
本段的主题是“Be a good listener”,建议我们做一个听众。横线后一句“Instead,they just want someone who will listen to them.”告诉我们有时候我们只是需要一个听众而已。D项中的“don't want an entertaining conversation partner ”与后句语意一致,故选择D项。
【17题详解】
本段的主题是“Smile”,建议我们在与他人相处的时候要面对微笑。在与人交往的时候,我们要让别人感觉很舒服,而微笑会让别人感觉很棒。E项内容与上下文语意一致。故选择E项。
【18题详解】
本段的主题是“Remember a person's name”,建议我们要记住他人的名字。本段第一句告诉我们对于我们来说,名字是最重要的标志。人们对自己的名字是非常感兴趣的,所以要想让别人喜欢我们,一定要迅速记住别人的名字。故G项正确。
【19题详解】
本段最后一句“The only way to make quality,lasting friendships is to learn to be genuinely interested in them and their interests.”告诉我们取得高品质持久的友谊的唯一方法是真正关注别人和别人的兴趣。A项与本段中心思想一致,故选择A项。
【20题详解】
本段的中心思想是“Make the other person feel important and do it sincerely”,建议我们要让别人感觉自己很重要。本段第一句“The golden rule is to treat other people how we would like to be treated.”告诉我们都喜欢像别人对待我们的那样对待他人。所以人人都喜欢自己被别人重视。C项“We love to feel important and so does everyone else”意为“我们都喜欢感觉自己很重要,其他人也一样”,与上下文语境一致。故C项正确。
【点睛】在完成七选五阅读时候,我们可以从表示转折关系的细节逻辑上判断,以本文小题1为例,本题的关键词是副词“instead”。横线后一句“Instead,they just want someone who will listen to them.”告诉我们有时候我们只是需要一个听众,并不需要谈话的对象多么令人愉悦。所以选择D项。
转折关系主要指英语行文中后句对前句构成逆转逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的逆转,则空格处很有可能是个转折逻辑的句子。表示转折关系的连接词有:however然而, nevertheless仍然,然而,不过, nonetheless尽管如此,依然,然而, still还;然而, though可是,不过,然而, yet然而, in spite of不顾,不管, at any rate无论如何,至少, in any case无论如何,不管怎样, whoever无论是谁, whatever无论什么,on the contrary正相反, in contrast与此相反, 相比之下, by contrast相反, 相比之下, in comparison比较起来,比较地, by comparison相比之下, conversely相反(地), otherwise否则;除此以外,not---but不是-----而是,as well也等。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了元宵节的传统活动——猜灯谜。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:元宵节的晚上满月照亮了天空,这个在中国农历正月十五的节日标志着每年超过两周的中国新年庆典的结束。空后是具体的时间“the 15th day of the first month in the Chinese lunar calendar”,所以空处填时间介词on。故填on。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:元宵节的晚上满月照亮了天空,这个在中国农历正月十五的节日标志着每年超过两周的中国新年庆典的结束。根据空前提示“Chinese New Year”,空处填名词celebration,构成名词短语Chinese New Year celebration表示“中国新年庆典”,该庆典方式超过两周,方式多种多样,所以用名词复数,即celebrations。故填celebrations。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:猜灯谜是元宵节众多受欢迎的传统活动之一,包括吃汤圆、赏月、沉浸在彩灯中。分析句子结构,“eating sweet dumplings”、“ enjoying the full moon”和该空形成并列,所以空处填动名词,作include的宾语。be lost in表示“沉浸在……中”,所以此处要填动名词的被动形式,即being lost。故填being lost。
【39题详解】
考查谓语动词的时态和语态。句意:这些猜谜游戏被称为灯谜,因为它们包括写在灯笼上的谜语。分析句子结构,该空是句子的谓语动词。由句意可知,此处是客观事实,时态是一般现在时,be referred to as为固定短语,意为“被称作”,所以用一般现在时的被动,即are referred。故填are referred。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这些猜谜游戏被称为灯谜,因为它们包括写在灯笼上的谜语。分析句子成分,because从句中谓语动词是involve,所以空处填非谓语动词。write和逻辑主语riddles之间是被动关系,用过去分词written作后置定语。故填written。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:它们通常包含着大智慧和好运的信息,并给儿童和所有年龄段的人提供了在练习语言和问题分析技能的同时获得乐趣的机会。空前是形容词great,所以空处填名词wisdom,表示“智慧”,不可数名词。故填wisdom。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它们通常包含着大智慧和好运的信息,并给儿童和所有年龄段的人提供了在练习语言和问题分析技能的同时获得乐趣的机会。分析句子结构,此处状语从句省略,人是主动练习语言,所以填现在分词practicing。故填practicing。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:人们必须通过思考组成谜语的单词和短语的不同含义来猜出答案。空后是名词meanings,所以该空填形容词,即various表示“不同的,多种多样的”,作定语。故填various。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:基本上,可能会提供提示,例如指出答案是人、地点还是事物。分析句子成分,此处考查副词,作状语修饰整个句子,所以填basically,表示“基本上”。空格置于句首,首字母要大写。故填Basically。
【45题详解】
考查连接词。句意:基本上,可能会提供提示,例如指出答案是人、地点还是事物。whether…or…是固定结构,意为“是……或是……”,可连接两个或多个单词或短语。故填whether。

Technology makes people closer or more distant
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】AI Version 1:
Technology undoubtedly brings people closer.
Firstly, it bridges geographical gaps, allowing us to communicate instantly through video calls, messaging apps, and social media. This helps us to maintain strong connections with friends and family no matter where they are. Secondly, technology develops global connections, enabling people to share ideas, cultures, and experiences across borders, which creates opportunities for international cooperation and understanding. Lastly, technology provides platforms for people with shared interests to connect, such as online communities, forums, and gaming networks, where like-minded individuals can form meaningful relationships.
In conclusion, technology is a powerful tool that strengthens relationships and unites people worldwide, making the world feel smaller and more interconnected.
AI Version 2:
While technology connects us virtually, it often creates emotional distance.
Firstly, overuse of technological devices reduces face-to-face interactions, weakening personal bonds. For instance, people may spend more time on their phones than talking to those around them, leading to a sense of disconnection. Secondly, online communication, which lacks the depth of in- person conversations, often fails to carry messages like facial expressions and tones. This can result in misunderstandings or distant relationships, making it harder to build trust. Moreover, over-relying on technology, designed to simplify our lives, can cause separation, because people prefer screens to real-life connections.
In conclusion, technology, if misused, can drive people apart by replacing meaningful interactions with impersonal digital exchanges.

第二节 读后续写(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 spent 15 years trying to make it in the music industry. When I was a teenager, I did any odd job to afford time in a recording studio. I knocked at managers’ doors and sent out demo (录音样带) after demo, but I got nowhere. In 2010, aged 27, I was doing a job in a restaurant when I wrote a song called Dream Goes On. It was a song about never giving up. I just let out all of my frustrations at the keyboard.
Over the next five years the music career never materialized but I persisted. Then, in 2019, I uploaded Dream Goes On to a music-sharing website. I just wanted someone to notice my music.
Later that year, I received an email out of the blue from Music World from South Korea, requesting a license for the song. They had chosen my song from the millions on the music-sharing website for a theme tune for one of their shows. I was amazed and negotiated a contract for $5,000 for the use of the song and signed up straight away. I was pretty excited, but didn’t think anything more would come of it, so I focused on my job in the restaurant.
This February, Music World organized a musical festival in Seoul and my song Dream Goes On was also chosen as the theme tune for the festival. I watched on YouTube as my song was being played to a huge crowd of people. It was amazing.
After three days of the festival, I was contacted by Music World and they asked if I’d like to go to Seoul to sing Dream Goes On in a concert. They flew me out there the next day. I was welcomed like a celebrity—everyone I met thought I was a big name in England. I had to break the news to them that I wasn’t a pop star.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
I had never performed the song live, and hadn’t been on stage for years.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the concert, I had photographers and journalists battling to interview me.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I had never performed the song live, and hadn’t been on stage for years. Seized by a strong sense of tension, I stood on the stage, seeing the huge cheers and a sea of lights below the stage. I was lost at the moment, holding the microphone tightly. I tried my best to collect myself and began to sing my own song which I had practiced hundreds of times. Looking back the years I had experienced as I sang on the stage, I realized that it is the opportunity that I had been waiting for the whole life. I kept myself full of enthusiasm as I was singing on the stage, showing the best to the audience.
After the concert, I had photographers and journalists battling to interview me. With them around me, a long queue of fans were waiting to have their photograph taken with me. I was like a superstar and that night was like a real dream for me. I had knocked on doors for years, yet my moment came when the opportunity called me. Life can surprise you. It has reinspired my passion for music. This has made all the odd jobs and weekends spent in recording studios all worthwhile.
【解析】
【导语】本文以作者自创的歌Dream Goes On为线索,讲述了作者成为一名音乐家的经历。作者之前的音乐追梦之旅并不顺畅,当时在餐馆工作的作者写了一首歌,五年后发布在网上,意外走红,回顾一路走来,虽然吃了很多苦头,但是这一回报的时刻让作者觉得之前的苦头都是值得的。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“我从来没有现场演奏过这首歌,我也已经很多年没有登上舞台了。”可知,本段可以写作者在舞台上感到很紧张,努力让自己平静下来后,作者开始演唱自己的歌。演唱时,作者不禁回忆起了这些年来的辛苦,顿时觉得此时就是自己等待多年的机会。
②由第二段首句内容“演唱会过后,记者和摄影师相拥采访我。”可知,本段可以写演唱会结束后,被粉丝、记者围绕的感觉让作者觉得自己就像是做梦一样以及作者的感悟,觉得这么多年的努力终究是值得的。
2.续写线索:在舞台上无比紧张——努力平静下来,开始表演——边唱歌便回忆起多年来的辛苦——觉得此刻就是自己等待多年的机会——演唱会结束后,作者被相拥采访——作者觉得就像做梦一样——作者的感悟。

行为类:
①握住:hold/take hold of
②经历:experience/go through
③某人意识到:sb. realize that.../sb. be aware that...
情绪类:
①紧张:tension/nervousness
②冷静:collect oneself/calm…down
