It’s easy to assume that a vacation to Bali will cost a small fortune. There are plenty of accommodations, food and local transportation, and even the spas offer massages and treatments at value prices. However, you can easily spend a week or two in Bali for under $2,000, without having to sleep on the beach. Here are a few things to consider when planning Bali on a budget.
What is the best time to visit Bali on a budget?
If you’re on a budget, consider visiting Bali during the lower, wetter season, which runs from October through March. The crowds will be fewer, and both hotel rates and flights from abroad are often cheaper, except during the holiday period between mid-December and early January, when crowds swell. The only trade-off for the lower prices is the wet season. This time of year isn’t always ideal for sunbathing, and serious rainfall can make outdoor activities, such as whitewater rafting and visiting waterfalls and rice terraces, less than appealing. That said, even during rainy season, it doesn’t usually rain all day long. Expect bursts of sunshine between the storms.
What is the cheapest way to get around Bali?
The absolute cheapest way to get around Bali is by local bus, but it can take a long time. There are also tourist buses, including hop-on, hop-off options, that travel between different hubs across the island. Bali is well-served by taxis, both of the car and motorbike variety, and the prices tend to be affordable by international standards. Most drivers will offer you a fixed rate for full-day hires or to get from point A to point B, rather than using a meter. Remember to bargain: doing so is particularly easy when a driver is on his own rather than at a taxi stand.
How much does food cost in Bali?
If you’re into fine dining, you can end up spending a large chunk of your budget on food. Eating at the average tourist-customized restaurant is the best way to have a meal in Bali on a budget. A good meal should cost you around 100,000 rupiah (around $7), but if you’re willing to subsist mostly off of local specialties such as nasi goreng (fried rice) and eat at local restaurants, you can expect to pay around 30,000 rupiah ($2) to get fed. Best of all, most hotels and guesthouses in Bali come with free breakfast, and many offer heavier options of noodles and meat that may keep you full until lunch.
1. What can we infer about the weather in Bali during its wet season?
A. It rains continuously from morning till night every day.
B. There are still periods of sunshine between rainstorms.
C. Outdoor activities like whitewater rafting are completely impossible.
D. The rainfall makes it unsuitable for any form of travel.
2. What is a key difference between bargaining with a solo taxi driver and one at a taxi stand in Bali?
A. Stand drivers charge fixed rates, while solo drivers prefer to negotiate.
B. Solo drivers never use meters, while stand drivers always do.
C. Solo drivers only offer full-day hires, while stand drivers accept short trips.
D. Bargaining with solo drivers is easier than with those at stands.
3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A It’s relatively economical to eat merely at average restaurants tailored to visitors.
B. Passengers had better fix the price with drivers before the taxi pulls out from the station.
C. If on a tight budget, one is advised to visit Bali at the end of December every year.
D. It’s better for outdoor enthusiasts to visit Bali during the off season.
【答案】1. B 2. D 3. A

B
I encountered the classics in university. I was 19, in love with literature and pursuing an undergraduate degree in English Literature. But with a lack of life experience, exams and focusing on grades, I couldn’t truly appreciate them. Middlemarch, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Pride and Prejudice, Madame Bovary: I loved these books, but I didn’t really get them.
Some 40 years later, as an editor and author, it’s my job to understand what makes a book tick. When a colleague suggested we deconstruct (解构) classics, I was excited. I had no idea what I was in for. Many were rereads of novels I loved. I wondered if they would still resonate (引起共鸣) and if my technology-damaged attention span could handle them.
Reading Middlemarch when you’re 19 is very different from when you’re 60 and have been through, well, life. Much of what Eliot was doing with marriage, relationships and expectations went over my young head. The characters and dialogue are masterful.
However rereading Middlemarch was a scary idea. It’s a brick of a book with tiny print. So I tried the audiobook instead. I was swept away: I didn’t want to do anything except listen. I told a friend to read it again, amazed by how good, how relevant it is, even though it was published in 1871.
Maybe life hasn’t changed as much as we think. Madame Bovary gives big social media vibes. Everyone else is having a better time than Bovary. Everyone’s grass is greener. Nothing lives up to her expectations. The Picture of Dorian Gray shows that our obsessions (痴迷) with youth and beauty are nothing new. Oscar Wilde would have a lot to say about today’s selfies and social media personas (表面形象), which can be far from the truth.
We gave these books the attention they deserved-attention I couldn’t give at age 19. That’s why I recommend rereading. These authors understood something about humanity that still resonates, still makes us question our life choices.
Reading the classics is a way to reclaim (重拾) something in danger of being lost: the enjoyment of mastery in language, of characters so alive they could walk into our living room. Good fiction teaches something that we will always need: the ability to stand in another’s shoes and feel what they feel, and maybe come away with a new understanding.
4. What does the phrase “get them” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?
A. Memorize the plots. B. Appreciate the value deeply.
C. Finish reading quickly. D. Understand the authors’ background.
5. Why did the author try the audiobook when rereading Middlemarch?
A. To make the reading easier as the book is very thick with small print.
B. To follow the latest trend of reading audiobooks.
C. To share the reading experience with friends conveniently.
D. To improve her listening skills.
6. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?
A. The author thinks classic books should only be read by adults.
B. Madame Bovary’s themes are unrelated to modern social media phenomena.
C. Rereading classics in different life stages can bring new insights.
D. Oscar Wilde’s works are outdated and not worth reading now.
7. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To criticize people’s lack of attention to classics.
B. To explain why she disliked classics in her youth.
C. To advocate for rereading classics and exploring their timeless value.
D. To compare the reading habits of teenagers and adults.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. C

【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者通过对比自己19岁和60岁时阅读经典文学的不同体验,阐述了经典作品的永恒价值,并倡导人们在不同人生阶段重读经典以获得新的感悟。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“I encountered the classics in university. I was 19, in love with literature and pursuing an undergraduate degree in English Literature. But with a lack of life experience, exams and focusing on grades, I couldn’t truly appreciate them.(我在大学时期接触到了经典文学作品。当时我19岁,热爱文学,正在攻读英语文学本科学位。但由于生活阅历不足,考试和学业成绩压力,我无法真正领略到它们的魅力。)”及“Middlemarch, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Pride and Prejudice, Madame Bovary: I loved these books, but I didn’t really get them.(《米德尔马契》《道林・格雷的画像》《傲慢与偏见》《包法利夫人》——我喜爱这些书,却未能真正get them。)”可知,“get them”与“truly appreciate them”形成呼应,指无法深刻领会经典的价值。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“However, rereading Middlemarch was a scary idea. It’s a brick of a book with tiny print. So I tried the audiobook instead.(然而,重读《米德尔马契》让我望而生畏。这是一本厚重的书,字体很小。所以我转而尝试了有声书。)”可知,作者尝试有声书的原因是因为这本书很厚、字很小,想要使阅读轻松一些。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Reading Middlemarch when you’re 19 is very different from when you’re 60 and have been through, well, life.(19岁时读《米德尔马契》和60岁时,经历过生活的洗礼后再读,感受截然不同。)”和第六段中“We gave these books the attention they deserved-attention I couldn’t give at age 19. That’s why I recommend rereading.(我们给予了这些书它们应得的关注——这是我在19岁时无法给予的关注。这就是我建议重读的原因。)”可知,作者建议读者重读经典,因为年少时可能无法理解,而成年后重读却可以获得新的感悟。由此可推断出,在不同的生活阶段重读经典可以带来新的见解。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中“That’s why I recommend rereading.(这就是我建议重读的原因。)”及最后一段“Reading the classics is a way to reclaim something in danger of being lost: the enjoyment of mastery in language, of characters so alive they could walk into our living room. Good fiction teaches something that we will always need: the ability to stand in another’s shoes and feel what they feel, and maybe come away with a new understanding.(阅读经典作品是一种重拾那些濒临失传之物的途径:重拾驾驭语言的乐趣,重拾那些栩栩如生、仿佛能走进我们客厅的人物形象。优秀的小说教会我们一种我们永远需要的能力:设身处地地理解他人的感受,或许还能让我们获得新的领悟。)”及全文内容可知,文章主要讲述了作者在不同人生阶段对经典作品的不同理解和感悟,特别是重读经典后获得的深刻体验和启示,作者认为这些经典作品蕴含着对人性深刻的理解,仍然能引起共鸣,并鼓励人们重新审视自己的生活选择,由此可知,作者写这篇文章的主要目的是提倡重读经典并探索其永恒的价值。故选C。
C
It’s not uncommon for patients to hide their true emotions from their caregivers—or even from their own conscious selves. An experimental new facial “sticker” could help by detecting and sharing information on its wearer’s present state of mind.
Currently being developed by Prof. Huanyu “Larry” Cheng and his colleagues at Penn State University, the flexible, stretchable device incorporates sensors that measure biaxial mechanical strain (双轴机械应变), body temperature, sweat-caused humidity, and blood oxygen levels. These sensors are piled like pancakes, separated by thin sheets of different materials that keep their signals and measurement methods from meddling with one another. Other components include a printed circuit board, wireless charging coil (线圈), 5-volt battery and Bluetooth chip. All of these pieces are enclosed within a waterproof covering, with the whole device measuring about 6 cm in length.
When the sticker is temporarily attached to a patient’s face, its strain sensor monitors their skin movements along two axes, wirelessly relaying the data to an app on a cloud-connected smartphone or tablet. AI-based algorithms (算法) in the software are in turn able to deduce(推断) the person’s current facial expression, which is certainly linked to their mood. In lab tests, the technology has proven to be over 96% accurate at identifying six common facial expressions: happiness, surprise, fear, sadness, anger and disgust.
That said, expressions can be faked, often even subconsciously (潜意识地). For that reason, the app also uses real-time readings from the temperature, humidity and blood oxygen sensors. Using this combination of data, the system is so far almost 89% accurate at identifying true emotions triggered by the viewing of various video clips. That figure should improve as the technology is developed further. And importantly, the data are processed in the cloud.
“This is a new and improved way to understand our emotions by looking at multiple body signals at once,” says Cheng. “People often don’t visibly show how they truly feel, so that’s why we’re combining facial expression analysis with other important physiological signals, which will ultimately lead to better mental health monitoring and support.”
8. What is the function of the facial “sticker” mentioned in the passage?
A. To decorate patients’ faces.
B. To cure mental health problems.
C. To detect and share information about the wearer’s mental state.
D. To take the place of caregivers in monitoring patients.
9. The underlined phrase “meddling with” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to .
A. interfering with B. connecting with C. dealing with D. agreeing with
10. What words can properly describe the facial “sticker” technology?
A. High-precision but improvable B. Mature but inaccurate
C. Cost-effective and portable D. Inefficient and unaffordable
11. Which statement best explains the necessity of the new method?
A. Facial expressions always match true emotions.
B. A single body signal can fully reveal emotions.
C. Physiological signals are irrelevant to emotions.
D. People’s outward displays often don’t reflect inner feelings.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了宾夕法尼亚州立大学研发的一种新型面部“贴纸”,它能检测佩戴者的多项生理指标并推断情绪,通过结合多种数据提高情绪识别准确度,有助于更好地监测和支持心理健康。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“An experimental new facial ‘sticker’ could help by detecting and sharing information on its wearer’s present state of mind.(一种实验性的新型面部‘贴纸’可以通过检测和分享佩戴者当前的心理状态信息来提供帮助。)”可知,这种面部“贴纸”的功能是检测和分享佩戴者的心理状态信息。故选C项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“These sensors are piled like pancakes, separated by thin sheets of different materials that keep their signals and measurement methods from meddling with one another.(这些传感器像煎饼一样堆叠在一起,由不同材料的薄片隔开,以防止它们的信号和测量方法相互干扰。)”可知,这些传感器被不同材料的薄片隔开,是为了防止信号和测量方法之间相互干扰,由此可推测出“meddling with”意为“干扰”。因此,选项A“interfering with(干扰)”与原文意思最为接近。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“In lab tests, the technology has proven to be over 96% accurate at identifying six common facial expressions: happiness, surprise, fear, sadness, anger and disgust. (在实验室测试中,该技术在识别六种常见面部表情——快乐、惊讶、恐惧、悲伤、愤怒和厌恶—方面的准确率超过了 96%。)”以及第四段中的“That figure should improve as the technology is developed further.(随着技术的进一步发展,这个数字应该会提高。)”可知,这项面部“贴纸”技术在识别面部表情方面具有高精度,但还有提升空间。因此,选项A“High-precision but improvable(高精度但可改进)”能够恰当地描述这项技术。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“People often don’t visibly show how they truly feel, so that’s why we’re combining facial expression analysis with other important physiological signals, which will ultimately lead to better mental health monitoring and support.(人们常常不会明显地表现出他们的真实感受,所以这就是为什么我们将面部表情分析与其他重要的生理信号相结合,这最终将导致更好的心理健康监测和支持。)”可知,人们的外在表现往往不能反映他们的内心感受,因此需要将面部表情分析与其他生理信号相结合,以更好地监测和支持心理健康。因此,选项D“人们的外在表现往往不能反映他们的内心感受”最能解释新方法的必要性。故选D项。
D
Have you ever found yourself having intrusive (侵扰的) thoughts about something you haven’t finished? Maybe a half-done work project is keeping you up at night or the suspenseful plot of a novel you’re reading keeps circling your thoughts. There is a reason why it’s so hard to stop thinking about uncompleted and interrupted tasks, and psychologists called it the Zeigarnik effect (Z-effect).
The Zeigarnik effect was first observed by a Russian psychologist named Bluma Zeigarnik. While sitting in a busy restaurant in Vienna, Zeigarnik noted that the waiters had better memories of unpaid orders. Once the bill was paid, however, the waiters had trouble remembering the exact details of the orders.
Zeigarnik did a series of experiments, in which participants were asked to complete simple tasks such as putting together puzzles, or solving math problems. Half of the participants were interrupted partway through doing these tasks. After an hour-long wait, Zeigarnik asked the participants to describe what they had been working on. She discovered that the people who had been interrupted in their work were twice as likely to remember what they had been doing as the people who had been able to complete the tasks.
We are living in an information explosion era, and we need mental tricks to help us remember a great deal of information. The Zeigarnik effect serves as a prime example. We hold on to information in the short term by constantly pulling it back into our awareness. By thinking of uncompleted tasks often, we’re more likely to keep remembering them until they get done.
The Zeigarnik effect tells us a lot about how memory works and you can use the Zeigarnik effect to your advantage. If you are struggling to memorize something important, momentary interruptions might work to your advantage. Rather than simply repeating the information, review it a few times, and then take a break. Nevertheless, leaving too many tasks unfinished can lead to feelings of overwhelm and anxiety. Therefore, it’s crucial to use this effect wisely in practical applications.
12. What does the Zeigarnik effect mainly refer to according to the passage?
A. People tend to forget completed tasks immediately after finishing them.
B. Uncompleted or interrupted tasks are more likely to stay in people’s memory.
C. Waiters have better memories than ordinary people when it comes to orders.
D. Simple tasks are easier to remember than complex ones for most people.
13 What is the purpose of paragraph 3?
A. To clarify a concept. B. To test an assumption.
C. To analyze the causes. D. To give background information.
14. Which of the following cases best reflects the potential disadvantage of the Zeigarnik effect?
A. Airing ads during the suspenseful moments in a TV series.
B. Stopping writing at the thrilling plot of a story.
C. Having many uncompleted tasks listed on the desktop.
D. Interrupting students halfway through solving a math problem.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Tricks of Developing Long-term Memory.
B. The Z-Effect: How to Boost Recall of Finished Tasks.
C. The Power of Completing Tasks Ahead of Schedule.
D. The Z-Effect: How Interruptions Enhance Memory.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了蔡格尼克(Ziegarnik)效应,包括其发现过程、实验验证、作用以及在实际中的应用和注意事项。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“There is a reason why it’s so hard to stop thinking about uncompleted and interrupted tasks, and psychologists called it the Zeigarnik effect (Z-effect).(很难停止思考未完成和被打断的任务是有原因的,心理学家称之为蔡格尼克效应)”和第三段中“She discovered that the people who had been interrupted in their work were twice as likely to remember what they had been doing as the people who had been able to complete the tasks.(她发现,那些在工作中被打断的人记住自己正在做的事情的可能性是那些能够完成任务的人的两倍。)”可知,蔡格尼克效应的典型特征是倾向于记住未完成的任务。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Zeigarnik did a series of experiments, in which participants were asked to complete simple tasks such as putting together puzzles, or solving math problems. Half of the participants were interrupted partway through doing these tasks.(蔡格尼克做了一系列实验,要求参与者完成一些简单的任务,比如拼图或解数学题。一半的参与者在完成这些任务的过程中被打断)”和“She discovered that the people who had been interrupted in their work were twice as likely to remember what they had been doing as the people who had been able to complete the tasks.(她发现,那些在工作中被打断的人记住自己正在做的事情的可能性是那些能够完成任务的人的两倍)”可知,第三段主要是通过实验来验证蔡格尼克之前的假设,即未完成的任务会比已完成的任务更容易被记住。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“leaving too many tasks unfinished can lead to feelings of overwhelm and anxiety.(留下太多未完成的任务会让人感到不知所措和焦虑)”可知,蔡格尼克效应的潜在弊端是未完成任务过多引发负面情绪。“桌面列出许多未完成任务”符合“未完成任务过多”的场景,能体现该效应的弊端。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“There is a reason why it’s so hard to stop thinking about uncompleted and interrupted tasks, and psychologists called it the Zeigarnik effect (Z-effect).(很难停止思考未完成和被打断的任务是有原因的,心理学家称之为蔡格尼克效应)”和全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了蔡格尼克效应,即人们倾向于记住未完成的任务,并通过实验验证了这一效应。文章还探讨了蔡格尼克效应在实际中的应用以及如何利用它来提高记忆力。由此可知,选项D“蔡格尼克效应:中断如何增强记忆”最能概括文章的主旨,适合作标题。故选D。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Across Asia, millions of people recently gathered to witness the breathtaking natural wonder of a total solar eclipse.____16____. At this time, the Moon covers the Sun entirely, turning day dark for a short while.
This eclipse first appeared in eastern India, then slowly moved across Burma, Bangladesh, Bhutan, eastern China, Japan, and finally into the Pacific Ocean. When it reached cities in eastern China yesterday, crowds poured into streets, parks and rooftops — some even arrived hours early to secure good viewing spots.____17____. The scene was breathtaking. In Shanghai, many held up cameras and small telescopes, cheering loudly as the sky gradually dimmed, while a few families laid out picnic blankets to enjoy the moment comfortably.
As daylight faded rapidly, the sky turned dark in just minutes.____18____. Shanghai was plunged into sudden darkness during what’s believed to be the longest total solar eclipse of the 21st century. It lasted 6 minutes and 39 seconds — far longer than the average 2 to 3 minutes of most total solar eclipses.
Total solar eclipses of such an extended duration are extremely rare.____19____. Shao Zhenyi, an astronomer at the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory, explained: “We’ll have to wait several hundred years for another chance to see a solar eclipse this long, so this really is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
But while people now celebrate this phenomenon, total eclipses weren’t always seen as treasures. In many traditional cultures, they were regarded as bad omens or supernatural events.____20____. Others believed the eclipse signaled upcoming disasters like floods or droughts. Today, these old fears and superstitions have faded-when daylight returned to Shanghai and other Asian cities, loud cheers and applause filled the air.
Reflecting on the experience, one Shanghai resident said it felt “horrible”, while another laughed and added, “It’s like magic — day turns to night so fast. I felt a bit disoriented.”
A. It feels like a different world.
B. They are a once-in-a-lifetime experience for most people.
C. Those who came to watch were far from disappointed.
D. Some believed evil gods were swallowing the Sun.
E. People were more scared than excited by the unusual sight.
F. A total solar eclipse forms when the Sun, Moon and Earth line up perfectly.
G. The sudden darkness even triggered streetlights to turn on automatically.
【答案】16. F 17. C 18. G 19. B 20. D

上文“Total solar eclipses of such an extended duration are extremely rare.(如此长时间的日全食极为罕见)”强调日食的罕见性,下文 “Shao Zhenyi, an astronomer at the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory, explained: ‘We’ll have to wait several hundred years for another chance to see a solar eclipse this long, so this really is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.’(上海天文台的天文学家,邵振益解释说:“我们要等几百年才能再有机会看到这么长时间的日食,所以这真的是一生一次的机会。”)”引用天文学家的话佐证其罕见性,空格处需承接“罕见性”并引出下文的解释。选项B“对大多数人来说,它们是一生一次的经历”,既呼应上文“极为罕见”,又与下文“一生一次的机会”相呼应,衔接自然。故选B。
【20题详解】
上文“In many traditional cultures, they were regarded as bad omens or supernatural events.(在许多传统文化中,它们被视为不祥之兆或超自然现象)”指出古代人们对日食的负面认知,下文“Others believed the eclipse signaled upcoming disasters like floods or droughts.(另一些人认为日食预示着即将到来的灾难,如洪水或干旱)”用Others believed列举一种认知,空格处需用Some believed列举另一种相关认知。选项D“一些人认为邪恶的神灵正在吞噬太阳”,以 Some believed开头,与下文Others believed形成“一些人……另一些人……”的并列结构,且内容符合“不祥之兆或超自然现象的范畴,符合语境。故选D。

They even give up their powers to take on a strong enemy. ____37____ (lose) everything, and going back to their old selves, they choose to save children’s lives.

【答案】36. a 37. Losing
38. to show
39. from 40. that
41. themselves
42. lives 43. willing
44. gently 45. morals
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍动画电影《浪浪山小妖怪》,讲述四个小妖怪从假扮师徒到历经考验,坚守善良与责任,影片也引发观众对自我与善意的思考,传递平凡也能闪光的理念。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:起初,他们只是想假装自己就是唐僧和他的徒弟们,然后踏上一段朝圣之旅。“pilgrimage”是可数名词单数,此处表示“一次朝圣之旅”,表泛指,且“pilgrimage”的发音以辅音音素开头,故填不定冠词“a”。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:失去了所有的一切,又恢复了原来的状态,但他们还是选择去拯救孩子们的生命。逻辑主语“they”与“lose”是主动关系,且与“going”并列,需用现在分词形式作状语,首字母大写。故填Losing。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他们会与家人以及那些有需要的人分享食物,以此来表达敬意。句中“share food”的目的是“表达尊重”,需用不定式作目的状语,故填to show。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:当他们去救那些孩子而不是去吃唐三藏的时候,他们就能分辨出这是正确的行为还是错误的行为。“tell right from wrong”是固定搭配,意为“辨别是非”,故填“from”。
【40题详解】
考查强调句。正是这些令人钦佩的品质使他们展现出了真正的人性。此处为强调句型“it is+被强调部分+that/who+其他”,被强调部分“these admirable traits”,是事物,故填that。
【41题详解】
考查代词。句意:然而,由于这些特质源自自身,所以在危机时刻它们能够超越自我发挥作用。表示“在危机中超越他们自己”,主语“they”对应的反身代词是“themselves”,故填themselves。
【42题详解】
考查时态。句意:在每一个观众的心中都住着这样一个“小妖怪”——或许并不完美,但却敢于勇敢行动。此处为倒装句,本句主语为such a “little monster”,是单数,且全文时态为一般现在时,谓语动词需用第三人称单数形式。故填lives。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:在每一个观众的心中都住着这样一个“小妖怪”——或许并不完美,但却敢于勇敢行动。be willing to do sth.是固定搭配,意为“愿意做某事”,根据上文not perfect, but可知此处省略be动词,用形容词作状语。故填willing。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:这部影片以一种温和的方式提醒我们:即便是最微小的生命,只要遵循自身的道德准则,也能展现出非凡的光芒。修饰动词“reminds”用副词“gently”,故填gently。
【45题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:这部影片以一种温和的方式提醒我们:即便是最微小的生命,只要遵循自身的道德准则,也能展现出非凡的光芒。“moral”作“道德准则”讲时是可数名词,结合语境“遵循他们的道德准则”,需用复数形式。故填morals。

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.
On a steamy morning in July, Clay and Acaimie Chastain arrived at the base of Mount Liamuiga on the Caribbean island of St.Kitts, ready to spend a day of their honeymoon climbing Mount Liamuiga.The highest point on St.Kitts, Liamuiga is also a dormant(休眠的)volcano that starts in the clouds and plunges down to meet the sea.
They couldn't find a visitor centre or hire a guide, so they set off on their own.They reached the peak around noon and ate their sandwiches looking out over the ocean and surrounding islands.
That's when Clay saw it: a small trail that led into the volcano's crater(坑), a bowl of green with cloud forest giving way to green grass.A series of screw eyes(螺钉孔)had been drilled into the rocks, with ropes that led down.Clay wanted to go down and take some pictures.Acaimie followed him a little way, but she was very cautious and quite scared of heights;so Clay went on alone.
A few minutes later, she heard a crash——a noise that sounded like a large branch snapping, followed by the sound of something big rolling downhill."Clay?" she called.Silence.
Uneasy, she waited a minute and shouted again——still nothing.And then, from somewhere much further down, she heard a weak cry for help.This time she was certain: It was Clay calling for help from deep within the crater.
As she looked over the lip of the volcano, she tried to stop some of her worst worries.Her phone wasn't getting a signal, and her cries for help were met with only silence."Clay!" she shouted as loud as she could."Clay, are you OK?"
Acaimie grasped the rope and began climbing down the trail.When the path became too steep, she slid on her butt, her legs and arms getting bruised and scraped in the process.Then, just off the trail, she saw a flash of red.It was Clay's scarf.And next to it was his cell phone.
She grabbed both and continued down, screaming for Clay all the way.
"Help," he said in that strange voice.
"I'm coming! Stay where you are," she said.
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.
Finally, she spotted Clay.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Acaimie had to push those thoughts away and focus on what she could do.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Finally, she spotted Clay. He was sitting on the ground, blood running down his face. “Clay,” she called in an anxious voice. “What’s wrong? Have you broken anything?” With a confused look on his face, Clay just stared at her and couldn’t remember anything that had happened. Perhaps the rope he’d been holding had snapped, or maybe he’d just missed a step, but it was clear he’d fallen a long way. Acaimie had to stay calm for Clay, but inside she was in great panic, worried that he had internal injuries that could kill him.
Acaimie had to push those thoughts away and focus on what she could do. She helped him up, had him hold the rope tight and pushed him from behind. Inch by inch, they climbed. After what felt like forever, they reached the top. As they made their way down the trail, Clay’s breathing became more laboured. Acaimie kept shouting for help, but they didn’t see anyone. Thankfully, about halfway down she managed to get a signal and call an ambulance. To their relief, by the time they reached the bottom, the ambulance was waiting for them.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了两个探险者去火山探险的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“最后,她发现了Clay。”可知,第一段可描写Acaimie发现了Clay之后做的事情。
②由第二段首句内容“Acaimie必须抛开这些想法专注于她能做的事。”可知,第二段可描写Acaimie专心致志救同伴的具体过程。
2.续写线索: 上山—遇险 —呼救—相救—即将得救
3.词汇激活
行为类
①.发现:spot/find/catch/see
②.关注:focus on/pay attention to/concentrate on
情绪类

第二部分:阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
It’s easy to assume that a vacation to Bali will cost a small fortune. There are plenty of accommodations, food and local transportation, and even the spas offer massages and treatments at value prices. However, you can easily spend a week or two in Bali for under $2,000, without having to sleep on the beach. Here are a few things to consider when planning Bali on a budget.
What is the best time to visit Bali on a budget?
If you’re on a budget, consider visiting Bali during the lower, wetter season, which runs from October through March. The crowds will be fewer, and both hotel rates and flights from abroad are often cheaper, except during the holiday period between mid-December and early January, when crowds swell. The only trade-off for the lower prices is the wet season. This time of year isn’t always ideal for sunbathing, and serious rainfall can make outdoor activities, such as whitewater rafting and visiting waterfalls and rice terraces, less than appealing. That said, even during rainy season, it doesn’t usually rain all day long. Expect bursts of sunshine between the storms.
What is the cheapest way to get around Bali?
The absolute cheapest way to get around Bali is by local bus, but it can take a long time. There are also tourist buses, including hop-on, hop-off options, that travel between different hubs across the island. Bali is well-served by taxis, both of the car and motorbike variety, and the prices tend to be affordable by international standards. Most drivers will offer you a fixed rate for full-day hires or to get from point A to point B, rather than using a meter. Remember to bargain: doing so is particularly easy when a driver is on his own rather than at a taxi stand.
How much does food cost in Bali?
If you’re into fine dining, you can end up spending a large chunk of your budget on food. Eating at the average tourist-customized restaurant is the best way to have a meal in Bali on a budget. A good meal should cost you around 100,000 rupiah (around $7), but if you’re willing to subsist mostly off of local specialties such as nasi goreng (fried rice) and eat at local restaurants, you can expect to pay around 30,000 rupiah ($2) to get fed. Best of all, most hotels and guesthouses in Bali come with free breakfast, and many offer heavier options of noodles and meat that may keep you full until lunch.
1. What can we infer about the weather in Bali during its wet season?
A. It rains continuously from morning till night every day.
B. There are still periods of sunshine between rainstorms.
C. Outdoor activities like whitewater rafting are completely impossible.
D. The rainfall makes it unsuitable for any form of travel.
2. What is a key difference between bargaining with a solo taxi driver and one at a taxi stand in Bali?
A. Stand drivers charge fixed rates, while solo drivers prefer to negotiate.
B. Solo drivers never use meters, while stand drivers always do.
C. Solo drivers only offer full-day hires, while stand drivers accept short trips.
D. Bargaining with solo drivers is easier than with those at stands.
3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. It’s relatively economical to eat merely at average restaurants tailored to visitors.
B. Passengers had better fix the price with drivers before the taxi pulls out from the station.
C. If on a tight budget, one is advised to visit Bali at the end of December every year.
D. It’s better for outdoor enthusiasts to visit Bali during the off season.
B
I encountered the classics in university. I was 19, in love with literature and pursuing an undergraduate degree in English Literature. But with a lack of life experience, exams and focusing on grades, I couldn’t truly appreciate them. Middlemarch, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Pride and Prejudice, Madame Bovary: I loved these books, but I didn’t really get them.
Some 40 years later, as an editor and author, it’s my job to understand what makes a book tick. When a colleague suggested we deconstruct (解构) classics, I was excited. I had no idea what I was in for. Many were rereads of novels I loved. I wondered if they would still resonate (引起共鸣) and if my technology-damaged attention span could handle them.
Reading Middlemarch when you’re 19 is very different from when you’re 60 and have been through, well, life. Much of what Eliot was doing with marriage, relationships and expectations went over my young head. The characters and dialogue are masterful.
However, rereading Middlemarch was a scary idea. It’s a brick of a book with tiny print. So I tried the audiobook instead. I was swept away: I didn’t want to do anything except listen. I told a friend to read it again, amazed by how good, how relevant it is, even though it was published in 1871.
Maybe life hasn’t changed as much as we think. Madame Bovary gives big social media vibes. Everyone else is having a better time than Bovary. Everyone’s grass is greener. Nothing lives up to her expectations. The Picture of Dorian Gray shows that our obsessions (痴迷) with youth and beauty are nothing new. Oscar Wilde would have a lot to say about today’s selfies and social media personas (表面形象), which can be far from the truth.
We gave these books the attention they deserved-attention I couldn’t give at age 19. That’s why I recommend rereading. These authors understood something about humanity that still resonates, still makes us question our life choices.
Reading the classics is a way to reclaim (重拾) something in danger of being lost: the enjoyment of mastery in language of characters so alive they could walk into our living room. Good fiction teaches something that we will always need: the ability to stand in another’s shoes and feel what they feel, and maybe come away with a new understanding.

It’s not uncommon for patients to hide their true emotions from their caregivers—or even from their own conscious selves. An experimental new facial “sticker” could help by detecting and sharing information on its wearer’s present state of mind.
Currently being developed by Prof. Huanyu “Larry” Cheng and his colleagues at Penn State University, the flexible, stretchable device incorporates sensors that measure biaxial mechanical strain (双轴机械应变), body temperature, sweat-caused humidity, and blood oxygen levels. These sensors are piled like pancakes, separated by thin sheets of different materials that keep their signals and measurement methods from meddling with one another. Other components include a printed circuit board, wireless charging coil (线圈), 5-volt battery and Bluetooth chip. All of these pieces are enclosed within a waterproof covering, with the whole device measuring about 6 cm in length.
When the sticker is temporarily attached to a patient’s face, its strain sensor monitors their skin movements along two axes, wirelessly relaying the data to an app on a cloud-connected smartphone or tablet. AI-based algorithms (算法) in the software are in turn able to deduce(推断) the person’s current facial expression, which is certainly linked to their mood. In lab tests, the technology has proven to be over 96% accurate at identifying six common facial expressions: happiness, surprise, fear, sadness, anger and disgust.
That said, expressions can be faked, often even subconsciously (潜意识地). For that reason, the app also uses real-time readings from the temperature, humidity and blood oxygen sensors. Using this combination of data, the system is so far almost 89% accurate at identifying true emotions triggered by the viewing of various video clips. That figure should improve as the technology is developed further. And importantly, the data are processed in the cloud.
“This is a new and improved way to understand our emotions by looking at multiple body signals at once,” says Cheng. “People often don’t visibly show how they truly feel, so that’s why we’re combining facial expression analysis with other important physiological signals, which will ultimately lead to better mental health monitoring and support.”
8. What is the function of the facial “sticker” mentioned in the passage?
A. To decorate patients’ faces.
B. To cure mental health problems.
C. To detect and share information about the wearer’s mental state.
D. To take the place of caregivers in monitoring patients.
9. The underlined phrase “meddling with” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to .
A. interfering with B. connecting with C. dealing with D. agreeing with
10. What words can properly describe the facial “sticker” technology?
A. High-precision but improvable B. Mature but inaccurate
C. Cost-effective and portable D. Inefficient and unaffordable
11. Which statement best explains the necessity of the new method?
A. Facial expressions always match true emotions.
B. A single body signal can fully reveal emotions.
C. Physiological signals are irrelevant to emotions.
D. People’s outward displays often don’t reflect inner feelings.
D
Have you ever found yourself having intrusive (侵扰的) thoughts about something you haven’t finished? Maybe a half-done work project is keeping you up at night or the suspenseful plot of a novel you’re reading keeps circling your thoughts. There is a reason why it’s so hard to stop thinking about uncompleted and interrupted tasks, and psychologists called it the Zeigarnik effect (Z-effect).
The Zeigarnik effect was first observed by a Russian psychologist named Bluma Zeigarnik. While sitting in a busy restaurant in Vienna, Zeigarnik noted that the waiters had better memories of unpaid orders. Once the bill was paid, however, the waiters had trouble remembering the exact details of the orders.
Zeigarnik did a series of experiments, in which participants were asked to complete simple tasks such as putting together puzzles, or solving math problems. Half of the participants were interrupted partway through doing these tasks. After an hour-long wait, Zeigarnik asked the participants to describe what they had been working on. She discovered that the people who had been interrupted in their work were twice as likely to remember what they had been doing as the people who had been able to complete the tasks.
We are living in an information explosion era, and we need mental tricks to help us remember a great deal of information. The Zeigarnik effect serves as a prime example. We hold on to information in the short term by constantly pulling it back into our awareness. By thinking of uncompleted tasks often, we’re more likely to keep remembering them until they get done.
The Zeigarnik effect tells us a lot about how memory works and you can use the Zeigarnik effect to your advantage. If you are struggling to memorize something important, momentary interruptions might work to your advantage. Rather than simply repeating the information, review it a few times, and then take a break. Nevertheless, leaving too many tasks unfinished can lead to feelings of overwhelm and anxiety. Therefore, it’s crucial to use this effect wisely in practical applications.
12. What does the Zeigarnik effect mainly refer to according to the passage?
A. People tend to forget completed tasks immediately after finishing them.
B. Uncompleted or interrupted tasks are more likely to stay in people’s memory.
C. Waiters have better memories than ordinary people when it comes to orders.
D. Simple tasks are easier to remember than complex ones for most people.
13. What is the purpose of paragraph 3?
A. To clarify a concept. B. To test an assumption.
C. To analyze the causes. D. To give background information.
14. Which of the following cases best reflects the potential disadvantage of the Zeigarnik effect?
A. Airing ads during the suspenseful moments in a TV series.
B. Stopping writing at the thrilling plot of a story.
C. Having many uncompleted tasks listed on the desktop.
D. Interrupting students halfway through solving a math problem.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Tricks of Developing Long-term Memory.
B. The Z-Effect: How to Boost Recall of Finished Tasks.
C The Power of Completing Tasks Ahead of Schedule.
D. The Z-Effect: How Interruptions Enhance Memory.

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.
On a steamy morning in July, Clay and Acaimie Chastain arrived at the base of Mount Liamuiga on the Caribbean island of St.Kitts, ready to spend a day of their honeymoon climbing Mount Liamuiga.The highest point on St.Kitts, Liamuiga is also a dormant(休眠的)volcano that starts in the clouds and plunges down to meet the sea.
They couldn't find a visitor centre or hire a guide, so they set off on their own.They reached the peak around noon and ate their sandwiches looking out over the ocean and surrounding islands.
That's when Clay saw it: a small trail that led into the volcano's crater(坑), a bowl of green with cloud forest giving way to green grass.A series of screw eyes(螺钉孔)had been drilled into the rocks, with ropes that led down.Clay wanted to go down and take some pictures.Acaimie followed him a little way, but she was very cautious and quite scared of heights;so Clay went on alone.
A few minutes later, she heard a crash——a noise that sounded like a large branch snapping, followed by the sound of something big rolling downhill."Clay?" she called.Silence.
Uneasy, she waited a minute and shouted again——still nothing.And then, from somewhere much further down, she heard a weak cry for help.This time she was certain: It was Clay calling for help from deep within the crater.
As she looked over the lip of the volcano, she tried to stop some of her worst worries.Her phone wasn't getting a signal, and her cries for help were met with only silence."Clay!" she shouted as loud as she could."Clay, are you OK?"
Acaimie grasped the rope and began climbing down the trail.When the path became too steep, she slid on her butt, her legs and arms getting bruised and scraped in the process.Then, just off the trail, she saw a flash of red.It was Clay's scarf.And next to it was his cell phone.
She grabbed both and continued down, screaming for Clay all the way.
"Help," he said in that strange voice.
"I'm coming! Stay where you are," she said.
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.
Finally, she spotted Clay.
