In 2022, Glenna Osborne’s father, Ronald Osborne, passed away, causing the family to sort through his belongings in preparation for his memorial service. During this emotional task, they discovered a handwritten note from Ronald dedicated to his dear friend and fellow firefighter, Eddie Coleman, with whom he had fought side by side in countless fires over the years.
The note, which bore a profound message, read: “For firefighter and special friend Eddie, who saved my life. John 15:13, ‘Greater love has no one than to lay down one’s life for one’s friend.’” Although Ronald had often mentioned to his family that Coleman had once rescued him, he had never explained on the details. Filled with a deep desire to uncover more about her late father’s past, Glenna decided to contact Coleman and request the full account of that fateful day.
Coleman recounted the terrifying incident, which had occurred when he was merely 21 and Ronald just 19. They had been sent to a burning two-story house, its structure already consumed by flames. As Glenna later described, “Eddie and my father found themselves battling the fire from the rooftop when suddenly, my father lost his footing and began to fall suddenly through the weakened roof.” With lightning-fast reactions, Coleman seized the collar of Ronald’s firefighter coat and, through sheer determination, managed to pull him back to safety — a split-second act that Ronald had always maintained spared him from certain death.
Prior to this life-changing event, the two men had shared a strong bond, but the tough experience on that rooftop created an unbreakable tie between them, a friendship that endured until Ronald’s final days.
For Glenna, hearing Coleman’s firsthand account provided not only clarity but also a profound appreciation for her father’s unwavering loyalty to his friend. “I am eternally grateful to Eddie for his bravery and quick thinking,” she reflected. “Had it not been for his heroic actions, my father would not have survived, and none of us would be here today. Our family owes him a debt that can never be repaid.”
4. Why did Ronald quote “John 15:13” in his note to Eddie?
A. To remind Eddie of their shared religious beliefs.
B. To indirectly criticize the risks of their profession.
C. To understate the significance of the rescue event.
D To express gratitude that surpassed ordinary friendship.
5. Why did Glenna feel strongly pushed to contact Coleman after finding the note?
A. To search for her father’s belongings.
B. To collect evidence for a potential biography.
C. To check the accuracy of firefighting methods.
D. To gain deeper insight into her father’s life story.
6. What can be inferred about Ronald and Coleman’s relationship before the incident?
A. They were merely acquaintances.
B. They competed with each other for promotions.
C. They had established a solid friendship previously.
D. They maintained a strictly professional cooperation.
7. What best describes Coleman’s character as demonstrated in the incident?
A. Selfless and decisive. B. Persistent and cautious.
C. Disciplined and respectful. D. Passionate and sympathetic.
C
There’s a whiteboard on the refrigerator in the du Plessises’ kitchen the couple uses to plan dinners. But with two young children, full-time jobs and the nearest supermarket 20 minutes away, figuring out what to eat can sometimes be challenging. To lighten the load, Mr. du Plessis regularly uses a grocery delivery service and meal kits (半成品净菜) are their favorites.
America’s appetite for online grocery sales rocketed more than 50%, from $62 billion in 2019 to $96 billion in 2020, according to the Food and Drug Administration. One in five consumers now has groceries delivered to their door at least once a month. Meanwhile, there’s been a steep increase in demand for restaurant takeout. Meal kits which come with premeasured ingredients are also experiencing strong growth. As food production and transportation make up as much as 1/3 of a typical US household’s annual contribution to climate change-inducing emissions, such a trend in food industry arouse some concerns.
“It’s crossed my mind,” Mr. du Plessis says about the environmental impact. “Unfortunately, it’s one of those things like Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. It’s like we have to meet our basic needs before we can be concerned about the bigger picture.”
In 2022, researchers from the University of Michigan modeled a single 36-item grocery cart to compare greenhouse emissions from an e-commerce grocery delivery and a traditional trip to the store to get the same items. They found that using an electric vehicle to pick up groceries could cut emissions by as much as half, compared to a gas-powered vehicle. They also found that home delivery could be an even better option. That’s because with a delivery vehicle, orders are often clustered, with a driver dropping off not just your groceries, but also hitting neighbors during the same run.
While some might worry about more waste and carbon foot print that meal kits cause, a 2019 study conducted by Shelie Miller from the University of Michigan found that, comparatively, meal kits could be one of the best options for lower greenhouse gas emissions. The meal kits “did have more packaging overall and more impact associated with that packaging,” Miller says. “But what we really saw was that the meal kits had more efficient use of food.” On average, the greenhouse gas emissions for a meal made with ingredients purchased at a grocery store are 33% higher than a comparable prepackaged kit, the study found.
8. Why does the author mention Mr. du Plessis’ kitchen?
A. To reach a conclusion. B. To stress a social problem.
C. To call on healthy diets. D. To introduce the topic.
9. What concern comes along with the rise of food delivery?
A. Poor goods quality. B. Environmental impact.
C. Commercial disorder. D. Jammed transportation.
10. What does the underlined word “clustered” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Grouped together. B. Separated individually.
C. Delivered randomly. D. Packed tightly.
11. What does Miller’s research indicate?
A. Meal kits are delicately packaged. B. Meal kits help with cooking skills.
C. Meal kits are efficient in cooking. D. Meal kits comparatively waste less.
D
Socrates declared that the unexamined life wasn’t worth living for a human being, implying that we should attempt to know ourselves, to think through our actions, choices, prejudices, and attitudes. But when it comes to thinking about our own happiness and what makes our lives go well, it really does seem that this reflective attitude can ruin our chances of finding what we seek.
Perhaps it’s not surprising that we are better designed for engaging in other activities than reflecting on how best to achieve our own happiness and well-being. Doing things that enhance our growth in physical, social and intellectual areas tends to bring the reward of feeling good, and so stimulates us further to pursue those activities. Sitting around reflecting on what will make us happy is a lot less efficient than chasing the things that make us happy, and if we think too much, there is an opportunity cost — time that we could have spent in a worthwhile activity has gone while we were thinking deeply about the best way to develop.
The philosopher David has written about the role of reflective thinking in sports. One of his observations is that while sportspeople need to think about the basic actions they are performing, it can be counterproductive to start thinking about the elements making up those actions. A footballer needs to think about kicking the ball low and hard to the left of the goalkeeper, but not to overthink the mechanics of the precise small movements of legs and feet that produce that outcome. If he or she does start this sort of thought process, it very often leads to a poorer shot. What’s needed is a kind of automatic response to the situation.
Perhaps something similar is going on in our life. Those people who start detailed programs of self-development in various dimensions, focusing on diet, habits, exercise, mental activity, work output, and so on, are like the footballer thinking through the small muscle movements. Perhaps their well-meaning self-reflection on their own development and how they want to achieve it, is the very thing that will make a high level of development forever unobtainable for them.
12. What may cause an opportunity cost?
A. Spending time on worthy activities. B. Joining in social meetings actively.
C. Getting stuck in much self-reflection. D. Doing physical exercises efficiently.
13. Why does the author mention David’s observations?
A. To praise a wise philosopher. B. To teach readers football skills.
C. To cite a case of overthinking. D. To argue for reflective thinking.
14. What does the author suggest readers do to achieve their goals?
A. Make a comprehensive plan. B. Adopt a direct approach.
C. Think carefully before action. D. Attach importance to details.
15. What is a suitable title for this text?
A. The Risk of Overthinking B. The Key to Well-being
C. The Way to Think Reflectively D. The Method to Develop Yourself
第二节(共5小题;每题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项,选项中的两项为多余选项。
Travelers often fill their suitcases with souvenirs like refrigerator magnets, keychains and postcards. ___16___ Now, those visiting the Italian lakeside town of Como have another, slightly less conventional item to bring home: a sealed can of Lake Como air.
ItalyComunica, a communications company, is selling 13.5-ounce cans of “pure air from the most beautiful lake in the world” for roughly $11 (€9.90) each. ___17___ They feature a dark blue label with an illustration of a boat cruising through the water. “Open it whenever you need a moment of escape, tranquility, or simply beauty,” instructs the website. “Only those who visit Lake Como can want to buy our souvenir; memories are not bought but lived.”
Sitting at the base of the Alps, Lake Como is a large body of water in Italy’s northern Lombardy region. ___18___ Many celebrities own second homes in the surrounding area, and numerous movies have been filmed there.
___19___ Clever businesspeople have been selling similar products for decades. In mountain towns and other high-elevation destinations, “oxygen in a can” is sometimes marketed as an antidote (缓解物) to altitude sickness, despite little scientific evidence to support that claim. Any benefits from canned air are likely due to the placebo (安慰剂) effect, experts say.
Alessandro Rapinese, the mayor of Como, says that he would rather vacationers bought silk scarves, which the region is known for, or other souvenirs. However, he adds: “___20___ Just make sure to take beautiful memories of this area as well.”
A. It’s the best souvenir option.
B. It has become a popular vacation destination.
C Souvenirs have a long and fascinating history.
D. These little items serve as reminders of their vacation.
E. If someone wants to take some air home, that’s perfectly fine.
F. The cans are marketed as “luxurious” souvenirs on the product website.
G. This is not the first time canned air has been marketed to tourists, though.

The sun was setting over Springdale, casting shadows across the busy community center. A group of teenagers, the members of the Springdale Youth Committee, gathered at a table. They looked determined and worried. Among them was Emily, a smart but often unnoticed girl who loves helping others.
For weeks, they had been organizing a fundraising event for the local homeless shelter, as the shelter struggled to assist the increasing number of individuals seeking help. The big day was one week away, and everything was set — until they discovered another group had a similar charity event on the same day. This could divide the people who might come and the donations they hoped to get.
“We can’t change the date now,” said Tom, a senior member, his voice filled with frustration. “We’ve already sent out invitations, and the place is booked.” Emily listened quietly to the discussion. She knew changing the date wasn’t possible, but she also realized competing with another worthy cause could hurt both sides.
After the meeting ended without a solution, Emily decided to take action. She spent the next day looking into ways to work with the other group, hoping to find a way that would help both the homeless shelter and the other cause.
The next day, she came to the committee with a suggestion. “What if we join our events?” she asked. “We could share resources, work together on promoting, and most importantly, make sure both causes are supported by the community.”
The members looked at each other, some doubtful, others interested. “That’s a great idea, Emily, but how will we get them to agree?” Laura, another member, asked. Emily had already thought this through. “I’ll talk to their organizer and show them the benefits of a joint event.” She knew the path ahead would be challenging, but she was determined to make it happen for Springdale and its people.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Para 1 The committee agreed to let Emily lead this effort.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para 2 After days of negotiation, Emily finally got a positive reply.

In 2022, Glenna Osborne’s father, Ronald Osborne, passed away, causing the family to sort through his belongings in preparation for his memorial service. During this emotional task, they discovered a handwritten note from Ronald dedicated to his dear friend and fellow firefighter, Eddie Coleman, with whom he had fought side by side in countless fires over the years.
The note, which bore a profound message, read: “For firefighter and special friend Eddie, who saved my life. John 15:13, ‘Greater love has no one than to lay down one’s life for one’s friend.’” Although Ronald had often mentioned to his family that Coleman had once rescued him, he had never explained on the details. Filled with a deep desire to uncover more about her late father’s past, Glenna decided to contact Coleman and request the full account of that fateful day.
Coleman recounted the terrifying incident, which had occurred when he was merely 21 and Ronald just 19. They had been sent to a burning two-story house, its structure already consumed by flames. As Glenna later described, “Eddie and my father found themselves battling the fire from the rooftop when suddenly, my father lost his footing and began to fall suddenly through the weakened roof.” With lightning-fast reactions, Coleman seized the collar of Ronald’s firefighter coat and, through sheer determination, managed to pull him back to safety — a split-second act that Ronald had always maintained spared him from certain death.
Prior to this life-changing event, the two men had shared a strong bond, but the tough experience on that rooftop created an unbreakable tie between them, a friendship that endured until Ronald’s final days.
For Glenna, hearing Coleman’s firsthand account provided not only clarity but also a profound appreciation for her father’s unwavering loyalty to his friend. “I am eternally grateful to Eddie for his bravery and quick thinking,” she reflected. “Had it not been for his heroic actions, my father would not have survived, and none of us would be here today. Our family owes him a debt that can never be repaid.”
4. Why did Ronald quote “John 15:13” in his note to Eddie?
A. To remind Eddie of their shared religious beliefs.
B. To indirectly criticize the risks of their profession.
C. To understate the significance of the rescue event.
D. To express gratitude that surpassed ordinary friendship.
5. Why did Glenna feel strongly pushed to contact Coleman after finding the note?
A. To search for her father’s belongings.
B. To collect evidence for a potential biography.
C. To check the accuracy of firefighting methods.
D. To gain deeper insight into her father’s life story.
6. What can be inferred about Ronald and Coleman’s relationship before the incident?
A They were merely acquaintances.
B. They competed with each other for promotions.
C. They had established a solid friendship previously.
D. They maintained a strictly professional cooperation.
7 What best describes Coleman’s character as demonstrated in the incident?
A. Selfless and decisive. B. Persistent and cautious.
C. Disciplined and respectful. D. Passionate and sympathetic.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. C 7. A

There’s a whiteboard on the refrigerator in the du Plessises’ kitchen the couple uses to plan dinners. But with two young children, full-time jobs and the nearest supermarket 20 minutes away, figuring out what to eat can sometimes be challenging. To lighten the load, Mr. du Plessis regularly uses a grocery delivery service and meal kits (半成品净菜) are their favorites.
America’s appetite for online grocery sales rocketed more than 50%, from $62 billion in 2019 to $96 billion in 2020, according to the Food and Drug Administration. One in five consumers now has groceries delivered to their door at least once a month. Meanwhile, there’s been a steep increase in demand for restaurant takeout. Meal kits which come with premeasured ingredients are also experiencing strong growth. As food production and transportation make up as much as 1/3 of a typical US household’s annual contribution to climate change-inducing emissions, such a trend in food industry arouse some concerns.
“It’s crossed my mind,” Mr. du Plessis says about the environmental impact. “Unfortunately, it’s one of those things like Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. It’s like we have to meet our basic needs before we can be concerned about the bigger picture.”
In 2022, researchers from the University of Michigan modeled a single 36-item grocery cart to compare greenhouse emissions from an e-commerce grocery delivery and a traditional trip to the store to get the same items. They found that using an electric vehicle to pick up groceries could cut emissions by as much as half, compared to a gas-powered vehicle. They also found that home delivery could be an even better option. That’s because with a delivery vehicle, orders are often clustered, with a driver dropping off not just your groceries, but also hitting neighbors during the same run.
While some might worry about more waste and carbon foot print that meal kits cause, a 2019 study conducted by Shelie Miller from the University of Michigan found that, comparatively, meal kits could be one of the best options for lower greenhouse gas emissions. The meal kits “did have more packaging overall and more impact associated with that packaging,” Miller says. “But what we really saw was that the meal kits had more efficient use of food.” On average, the greenhouse gas emissions for a meal made with ingredients purchased at a grocery store are 33% higher than a comparable prepackaged kit, the study found.
8. Why does the author mention Mr. du Plessis’ kitchen?
A. To reach a conclusion. B. To stress a social problem.
C. To call on healthy diets. D. To introduce the topic.
9. What concern comes along with the rise of food delivery?
A. Poor goods quality. B. Environmental impact.
C. Commercial disorder. D. Jammed transportation.
10. What does the underlined word “clustered” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Grouped together. B. Separated individually.
C. Delivered randomly. D. Packed tightly.
11. What does Miller’s research indicate?
A. Meal kits are delicately packaged. B. Meal kits help with cooking skills.
C. Meal kits are efficient in cooking. D. Meal kits comparatively waste less.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. D

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国在线食品杂货销售和外卖兴起的现象,同时指出这一趋势引发的环境影响担忧。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“There’s a whiteboard on the refrigerator in the du Plessises’ kitchen the couple uses to plan dinners. But with two young children, full time jobs and the nearest supermarket 20 minutes away, figuring out what to eat can sometimes be challenging. To lighten the load, Mr. du Plessis regularly uses a grocery delivery service and meal kits (半成品净菜) are their favorites.(杜普莱西夫妇厨房的冰箱上有一块白板,他们用它来计划晚餐。但由于有两个年幼的孩子、全职工作,而且最近的超市也在20分钟车程之外,有时决定吃什么会很有挑战性。为了减轻负担,杜普莱西先生经常使用食品杂货配送服务,而半成品净菜是他们的最爱)”和第二段中“America’s appetite for online grocery sales rocketed more than 50%, from $62 billion in 2019 to $96 billion in 2020, according to the Food and Drug Administration. One in five consumers now has groceries delivered to their door at least once a month. Meanwhile, there’s been a steep increase in demand for restaurant takeout.(美国食品和药物管理局的数据显示,美国人对在线杂货销售的兴趣飙升了50%以上,从2019年的620亿美元飙升至2020年的960亿美元。现在,五分之一的消费者每月至少有一次食品杂货送货上门。与此同时,对餐馆外卖的需求急剧增加)”可推知,作者提到杜普莱西先生的厨房,是为了引出后文关于美国在线食品杂货销售和外卖兴起这一话题。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“As food production and transportation make up as much as 1/3 of a typical US household’s annual contribution to climate change inducing emissions, such a trend in food industry arouse some concerns.(由于食品生产和运输在一个典型美国家庭每年导致气候变化的排放中所占比例高达三分之一,食品行业的这种趋势引发了一些担忧)”和第三段中“‘It’s crossed my mind,’ Mr. du Plessis says about the environmental impact.(“我想过这个问题,”杜普莱西先生谈到环境影响时说)可知,食品配送兴起带来的担忧是对环境的影响。故选B项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。结合常识和划线词所在句“That’s because with a delivery vehicle, orders are often clustered, with a driver dropping off not just your groceries, but also hitting neighbors during the same run.(这是因为使用配送车辆时,订单通常……,司机在一次行程中不仅会送你食品杂货,还会给邻居送货)”中“not just your groceries, but also hitting neighbors during the same run”可推知,使用车辆配送可以将很多订单集中在一起处理,在给你送货的同时也可以给邻居送货。由此推知,划线词clustered意思是订单被“集中在一起”,与“Grouped together(聚集在一起)”意思相近。故选A项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中Miller的话“But what we really saw was that the meal kits had more efficient use of food.(但我们真正看到的是,餐包对食物的利用更高效)”可知,米勒的研究表明餐包对食物的利用更高效,换句话说,相对而言餐包浪费更少。故选D项。
D
Socrates declared that the unexamined life wasn’t worth living for a human being, implying that we should attempt to know ourselves, to think through our actions, choices, prejudices, and attitudes. But when it comes to thinking about our own happiness and what makes our lives go well, it really does seem that this reflective attitude can ruin our chances of finding what we seek.
Perhaps it’s not surprising that we are better designed for engaging in other activities than reflecting on how best to achieve our own happiness and well-being. Doing things that enhance our growth in physical, social and intellectual areas tends to bring the reward of feeling good, and so stimulates us further to pursue those activities. Sitting around reflecting on what will make us happy is a lot less efficient than chasing the things that make us happy, and if we think too much, there is an opportunity cost — time that we could have spent in a worthwhile activity has gone while we were thinking deeply about the best way to develop.
The philosopher David has written about the role of reflective thinking in sports. One of his observations is that while sportspeople need to think about the basic actions they are performing, it can be counterproductive to start thinking about the elements making up those actions. A footballer needs to think about kicking the ball low and hard to the left of the goalkeeper, but not to overthink the mechanics of the precise small movements of legs and feet that produce that outcome. If he or she does start this sort of thought process, it very often leads to a poorer shot. What’s needed is a kind of automatic response to the situation.
Perhaps something similar is going on in our life. Those people who start detailed programs of self-development in various dimensions focusing on diet, habits, exercise, mental activity, work output, and so on, are like the footballer thinking through the small muscle movements. Perhaps their well-meaning self-reflection on their own development and how they want to achieve it, is the very thing that will make a high level of development forever unobtainable for them.
12. What may cause an opportunity cost?
A. Spending time on worthy activities. B. Joining in social meetings actively.
C. Getting stuck in much self-reflection. D. Doing physical exercises efficiently.
13. Why does the author mention David’s observations?
A. To praise a wise philosopher. B. To teach readers football skills.
C. To cite a case of overthinking. D. To argue for reflective thinking.
14. What does the author suggest readers do to achieve their goals?
A. Make a comprehensive plan. B. Adopt a direct approach.
C. Think carefully before action. D. Attach importance to details.
15. What is a suitable title for this text?
A. The Risk of Overthinking B. The Key to Well-being
C. The Way to Think Reflectively D. The Method to Develop Yourself
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了过度思考带来的种种弊端,告诫我们不要过度思考。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Sitting around reflecting on what will make us happy is a lot less efficient than chasing the things that make us happy, and if we think too much, there is an opportunity cost — time that we could have spent in a worthwhile activity has gone while we were thinking deeply about the best way to develop. (坐下来思考什么能让我们快乐比追求让我们快乐的事情效率低得多,如果我们想得太多,就会有机会成本——我们本可以花在有价值的活动上的时间,而我们却在深入思考最好的发展方式)”可知,困于过度的自我反思会导致机会成本,故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“One of his observations is that while sportspeople need to think about the basic actions they are performing, it can be counterproductive to start thinking about the elements making up those actions. (他的一个观察是,虽然运动员需要思考他们正在执行的基本动作,但开始思考构成这些动作的元素可能会适得其反)”可推知,作者提到David的观察是为了举例说明过度思考的劣势。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段 “What’s needed is a kind of automatic response to the situation. (我们需要的是一种对情况的自动响应)”可知,作者建议读者采取一个直接的方法来达成目标。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的“But when it comes to thinking about our own happiness and what makes our lives go well, it really does seem that this reflective attitude can ruin our chances of finding what we seek.(但是,当我们思考自己的幸福以及是什么让我们的生活变得美好时,这种反思的态度似乎真的会破坏我们找到我们所寻求的东西的机会)”以及全文内容可知,本文主要讲述了过度思考带来的种种弊端,告诫我们不要过度思考。由此可知,A项“过度思考的风险”适合作为文章的标题。故选A。

Travelers often fill their suitcases with souvenirs like refrigerator magnets, keychains and postcards. ___16___ Now, those visiting the Italian lakeside town of Como have another, slightly less conventional item to bring home: a sealed can of Lake Como air.
ItalyComunica, a communications company, is selling 13.5-ounce cans of “pure air from the most beautiful lake in the world” for roughly $11 (€9.90) each. ___17___ They feature a dark blue label with an illustration of a boat cruising through the water. “Open it whenever you need a moment of escape, tranquility, or simply beauty,” instructs the website. “Only those who visit Lake Como can want to buy our souvenir; memories are not bought but lived.”
Sitting at the base of the Alps, Lake Como is a large body of water in Italy’s northern Lombardy region. ___18___ Many celebrities own second homes in the surrounding area, and numerous movies have been filmed there.

In mountain towns and other high-elevation destinations, “oxygen in a can” is sometimes marketed as an antidote (缓解物) to altitude sickness, despite little scientific evidence to support that claim. Any benefits from canned air are likely due to the placebo (安慰剂) effect, experts say.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了通过研究遥远星系来探索银河系形成的方法。
【36题详解】
考查时态。句意:银河系大约形成于135亿年前,但我们无法穿越时空回到过去,亲眼目睹这一过程究竟是如何发生的。空处为从句谓语动词,此处要描写的是银河系如何发生,描写的是过去的事,且根据前文时态“formed around 13.5 billion years ago”可知,空处需使用一般过去时,动词使用过去式形式。故填happened。
【37题详解】
考查连词。句意:对银河系古老恒星的研究提供了一些线索,计算机模拟也提供了帮助,但我们所在银河系发出的可观察光线太过“年轻”,无法让天文学家直接探究它的起源。前文说对星系古老恒星的研究和模拟提供了一些线索,后文说来自我们星系的可观测光发出时间太晚,不能让天文学家直接研究其起源,前后是转折关系,空处应使用转折连词but。故填but。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:对银河系古老恒星的研究提供了一些线索,计算机模拟也提供了帮助,但我们所在银河系发出的可观察到的光线太过“年轻”,无法让天文学家直接探究它的起源。too...to... 是固定结构,意为“太……而不能……”。故填to enable。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:莫拉利用詹姆斯·韦布空间望远镜(JWST)的观测数据,对一个遥远星系展开研究,该星系的质量与早期宇宙中银河系形成后不久的预期质量相符。空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词other galaxies,关系词在定语从句中作主语,所以用关系代词that或which引导。故填that/which。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:莫拉利用詹姆斯·韦布空间望远镜(JWST)的观测数据,对一个遥远星系展开研究,该星系的质量与早期宇宙中银河系形成后不久的预期质量相符。空处需要用副词来修饰时间状语“after its formation”,表示“在银河系形成后不久”。故填shortly。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意: 当天文学家观测遥远的星系时,他们看到的是数十亿年前发出的光,因为光穿越太空到达他们的望远镜需要时间。It takes time for sb./sth. to do sth.是固定句型,意为“做某事对某人/某物来说花费时间”。故填for。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意:由于宇宙在不断膨胀,地球与这些遥远星系的距离,以及它们的光发出的时间都可以被测量出来。空处需要一个名词作thanks to的宾语,同时形容词constant修饰该名词。expand为动词,其名词形式为expansion。故填expansion。
【43题详解】
考查代词。句意:当光穿越浩瀚的太空时,其波长会随着不断膨胀的空间结构而被拉伸,使其看起来比发出时更红。空处修饰名词wavelength,指“光的波长”,所以用形容词性物主代词its。故填its。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:当光穿越浩瀚的太空时,其波长会随着不断膨胀的空间结构而被拉伸,使其看起来比发出时更红。本句主句中已有谓语动词is stretched,且空格前无连词,表明空处应填入非谓语动词。主句内容为make的逻辑主语,二者之间为主动关系,因此空处应填入现在分词。故填making。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:而且,波长的变化是由光传播的距离以及光发射时宇宙的年龄所决定的。名词age为可数名词,此处特指光发出时宇宙的年龄,所以用定冠词the。故填the。

1. 你的观点;
2. 说明理由。

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I believe social media apps ought to get rid of likes. The reason why I hold this view is that the pursuit of likes has made many people post content just to gain popularity, which deviates from the original purpose of sharing. What we should know is that social media is a platform for genuine communication. Removing likes can encourage users to focus on the value of what they share rather than the number of likes they get. This will make social media a healthier place.

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
67. 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。
The sun was setting over Springdale, casting shadows across the busy community center. A group of teenagers, the members of the Springdale Youth Committee, gathered at a table. They looked determined and worried. Among them was Emily, a smart but often unnoticed girl who loves helping others.
For weeks, they had been organizing a fundraising event for the local homeless shelter, as the shelter struggled to assist the increasing number of individuals seeking help. The big day was one week away, and everything was set — until they discovered another group had a similar charity event on the same day. This could divide the people who might come and the donations they hoped to get.
“We can’t change the date now,” said Tom, a senior member, his voice filled with frustration. “We’ve already sent out invitations, and the place is booked.” Emily listened quietly to the discussion. She knew changing the date wasn’t possible, but she also realized competing with another worthy cause could hurt both sides.
After the meeting ended without a solution, Emily decided to take action. She spent the next day looking into ways to work with the other group, hoping to find a way that would help both the homeless shelter and the other cause.
The next day, she came to the committee with a suggestion. “What if we join our events?” she asked. “We could share resources, work together on promoting, and most importantly, make sure both causes are supported by the community.”
The members looked at each other, some doubtful, others interested. “That’s a great idea, Emily, but how will we get them to agree?” Laura, another member, asked. Emily had already thought this through. “I’ll talk to their organizer and show them the benefits of a joint event.” She knew the path ahead would be challenging, but she was determined to make it happen for Springdale and its people.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Para 1 The committee agreed to let Emily lead this effort.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para 2 After days of negotiation, Emily finally got a positive reply.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
The committee agreed to let Emily lead this effort. As expected, the idea of partnering with the rival organization met with opposition. The other group, protective of their previous hard work, was initially reluctant to accept Emily’s proposal. They worried that their unique voice would be lost in the mix, insisting that their event should stand alone. Emily, unshaken, continued to highlight the benefits of partnership, emphasizing the potential for more donations and increased community involvement. It was a tough sell, but Emily’s determination and the sound reasoning of her plan gradually broke through their initial reluctance.
After days of negotiation, Emily finally got a positive reply. They had come to realize the value in Emily’s proposal and agreed to collaborate. The two teams began working together, pooling their resources and expertise to create a single, unified event. The result was an overwhelming success, attracting a larger crowd and fostering a sense of unity among the participants. The substantial funds collected profoundly benefited both the homeless shelter and the other cause, showing that when organizations put aside their differences and worked together towards a common goal, the power of collaboration could make a real difference.
