B
As a clueless freshman, I waltzed into my first creative writing course by accident, thinking it was a literature class on how to read stories, not how to write them.
When the teacher introduced the course, I realized my mistake. The credits I earned from the course wouldn't count toward my major. By the end of the session, however, I decided that I had to be a part of the course. Perhaps, as a lifelong reader, I was eager to understand how stories worked their magic.
But taking the class would be impossible: I wasn’t even on the waitlist. That’s when the teacher asked for a volunteer to submit the first workshop story.
Silence blanketed the room. No one risked eye contact. Whoever volunteered would have to write a whole story in a week. Perhaps they, like me, had never written one before.
Seizing my chance, I raised my hand and asked, “If I go first, will you give me a spot in the class?”
He said he would.
So, instead of keeping my head down and avoiding eye contact, I did the opposite.
Years later, I’d completed a degree in creative writing and was working on a novel when a literary agent (经纪人) asked to read the first 50 pages of my draft. But I wasn’t comfortable showing her anything; the novel was far from done.
Throughout graduate school, I’d been advised many times not to contact agents until I have a complete draft. In the meanwhile, I knew the beginning of my story was attractive and that the agent might not remember me after a year.
So, once again, instead of keeping my head down and avoiding eye contact, I did the opposite. I sent her the first three chapters. A month later, she signed me on the strength of those chapters alone. She has since seen me through the publication of three novels.
Determination, focus, perseverance — the qualities that I consider crucial in getting me into Stanford no doubt helped me become the novelist I am today. And yet if I’d trained my gaze only on the path ahead, I would have missed so many happy accidents, so many beautiful opportunities to look up, raise my hand, and say yes.
4. What made the author finally decide to take the course?
A. The popularity of the course.
B. Her curiosity about story writing.
C. Her confidence in her writing skills.

7. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. Action speaks louder than words.
B. Chance favors only the prepared mind.
C. Success comes to those who will and dare.
D. Confidence leads to growth and fulfillment.
C
Feeling bad after a favorite show ends is common, and it even has an informal name: post-series depression (PSD). Rita Kottasz, a marketing professor at Kingston University, describes PSD as “a feeling of emptiness and upset when something you love finishes”. This experience can be found in TV shows, books, or video games, creating a desire for more.
The idea of PSD gained popularity on social media and fan blogs in the mid-2010s, especially during the Golden Age of TV. Kottasz prefers not to use the name PSD, instead calling it “consumer saudade”, a Portuguese word meaning nostalgic (怀旧的) longing. However, a journal editor told her to use PSD because it's widely used outside of research.
Kottasz and her co-workers published research dividing the types of PSD based on interviews with fans who felt sad after their favorite things ended. Common emotions included frustration, disappointment, sadness, and emptiness. Some fans even felt that life was less complete or that they had lost “best friends”.
While PSD is often connected to TV shows, Kottasz is exploring its connection to other media, such as the sudden break of K-pop band BTS (防弹少年团) and novels like Harry Potter. Younger people are more influenced than older ones, partially because companies like Netflix are always giving viewers new movies and shows.
What might surprise many people is that binge-watching does not seem to cause PSD. Instead, long-term watching may be a factor. Kottasz thinks watching a show over several seasons or reading novels across many years strengthens a person’s relationship to the characters (人物). In her 2019 paper, she said a Harry Potter fan who started reading the series at age 9 was "sadly left behind" after the final book and film were published years later.
But it isn’t quite as simple as saying the end of a show or novel controls our emotion. Brian Kong, a Chicago-based psychologist, is worried that PSD might not imply (暗示) a cause and effect relationship between low moods and a program’s end. Instead, he says that when viewers experience lasting bad feelings, watching TV might be acting as an anesthetic (麻醉剂) for a deeper mental problem, like how some people with anxiety drink alcohol. In other words, the low mood already existed, and watching the series only masked it.
8. Which of the following is a common response among fans experiencing PSD?
A. A fresh sense of purpose for life. B. A deep satisfaction after the show.
C. A great sense of loss of best friends. D. A strong desire for a new hobby.
9. What does the underlined word “binge-watching” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Reviewing every detail of a TV show day and night.
B. Watching many episodes (集) of a TV show at one time.
C. Following the episodes of a TV show for a long time.
D. Reading a book series while watching the TV adaptation (改编版).
10. What does Brian Kong imply in the last paragraph?
A. PSD covers up a deeper mental problem.
B. Viewers with bad feelings like drinking alcohol.
C. Watching TV is the main cause of low moods.
D. Watching TV series can make mental problems worse.
11. What might the following paragraphs focus on?
A. The solutions to post-series depression.
B. The marketing (营销) strategies of TV shows.
C. The difference between PSD and nostalgia.
D. The influence of social media on fan emotions.
D
No business would welcome being compared to gambling (赌博). But that is what is happening to the makers of video games. For years parents have complained that their children are “addicted” to their video games and smartphones. Today, even more doctors are using the word. On January 1 this year, the name “gaming disorder” — where games are played uncontrollably-gained recognition from the World Health Organization (WHO), which means game addiction is formally considered as a psychological (心理学的) disease.
Are games really addictive? Psychologists have different opinions. Those who don’t think so say that this is just another moral panic (道德恐慌). Similar warnings have been given about television, pop music, comic books, novels and even crossword puzzles, but it turns out that they are not as harmful as expected. However, supporters argue that game developers have reasons and ways to design their products to make them extremely attractive. For one thing, the way to business has changed: in the old days, games were bought once and for all. But these days, games are free and money is earned from selling in-game goods, which connects playtime directly to earnings. For another, game-makers do research on psychology and analyze data (分析数据), which helps them maximize (最大化) the playtime. Smartphones and modern video game machines use their Internet connections to send gameplay data back to developers. In this way products are always made attractive to encourage players’ spending. The biggest spenders are titled “whales”, a word from gambling.
The gaming industry should realize that, in the real world, it has a problem, and the problem is growing. Being put together with gambling in the public mind will not do the industry any good. Now that gaming addiction comes with a WHO recognition, parents will respond to it in a more anxious manner, no matter whether their kids play games uncontrollably, or not.
12. What do we know from Paragraph 1?
A. Children prefer gambling to playing video games.
B. Gaming addiction is formally recognized as a disease.
C. More doctors are against the use of the word “addicted”.
D. Parents complain about their children’s addiction to gambling.
13. Why did the author mention television and pop music in Paragraph 2?
A. To show how popular they are.
B. To prove they are not addictive.
C. To show the anxiety they have caused.
D. To prove games might not be as harmful.
14. How did developers make games attractive?
A. They sold their games at a high price.
B. They honored big spenders with a title.
C. They improved products based on received data.
D. They design new video games of different kind.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Games: A New Kind of Gambling
B. Addiction: A Psychological Disorder
C. Games: The Cause of Psychological Disorder
D. Addiction: A Warning (警告) to the Gaming Industry

Healthy friendship can help us deal with stress and live happier, longer lives. Here are tips from relationship experts for making and deepening friendships.
Be optimistic
People receiving an unexpected communication, such as a short note or a small gift, appreciated the act more than the people sending it. ____16____ We often undervalue how much people like us. If we think we’re going to be liked, we become warmer, friendlier, and more open.

Practice
____20____ How can we strengthen our muscles? By exercising, right? We can work our communication skills in the same way. In a 2022 study by Sandstrom, participants (参与者) were required to talk to strangers every day for a week. Guess what? In the end, people were less worried and more confident about starting conversations with strangers.
A. Put the time in
B. Make a list of close friends

B
As a clueless freshman, I waltzed into my first creative writing course by accident, thinking it was a literature class on how to read stories, not how to write them.
When the teacher introduced the course, I realized my mistake. The credits I earned from the course wouldn't count toward my major. By the end of the session, however, I decided that I had to be a part of the course. Perhaps, as a lifelong reader, I was eager to understand how stories worked their magic.
But taking the class would be impossible: I wasn’t even on the waitlist. That’s when the teacher asked for a volunteer to submit the first workshop story.
Silence blanketed the room. No one risked eye contact. Whoever volunteered would have to write a whole story in a week. Perhaps they, like me, had never written one before.
Seizing my chance, I raised my hand and asked, “If I go first, will you give me a spot in the class?”
He said he would.
So, instead of keeping my head down and avoiding eye contact, I did the opposite.
Years later, I’d completed a degree in creative writing and was working on a novel when a literary agent (经纪人) asked to read the first 50 pages of my draft. But I wasn’t comfortable showing her anything; the novel was far from done.
Throughout graduate school, I’d been advised many times not to contact agents until I have a complete draft. In the meanwhile, I knew the beginning of my story was attractive and that the agent might not remember me after a year.
So, once again, instead of keeping my head down and avoiding eye contact, I did the opposite. I sent her the first three chapters. A month later, she signed me on the strength of those chapters alone. She has since seen me through the publication of three novels.
Determination, focus, perseverance — the qualities that I consider crucial in getting me into Stanford no doubt helped me become the novelist I am today. And yet if I’d trained my gaze only on the path ahead, I would have missed so many happy accidents, so many beautiful opportunities to look up, raise my hand, and say yes.
4. What made the author finally decide to take the course?
A. The popularity of the course.
B. Her curiosity about story writing.
C. Her confidence in her writing skills.
D. The need to get credits for her degree.
5. The author volunteered to write the first workshop story to ________.
A. challenge herself B. impress the teacher
C. display her talent D. win a place in the class
6. The author sent her first three chapters to the agent because ________.
A. she wanted to get the chance of publication
B. the agent asked her to turn in the work

7. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. Action speaks louder than words.
B. Chance favors only the prepared mind.
C. Success comes to those who will and dare.
D. Confidence leads to growth and fulfillment.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在大学时因偶然进入创意写作课,并为了获得上课资格而主动争取第一个分享故事的机会,从而开启写作生涯;后来在成为小说家过程中,又违背常规建议,主动将未完成的小说章节发给文学经纪人并最终获得成功的经历。文章通过这两个关键时刻,传达了主动把握机会、勇于尝试的重要性。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“By the end of the session, however, I decided that I had to be a part of the course. Perhaps, as a lifelong reader, I was eager to understand how stories worked their magic.(然而,在第一节课结束时,我决定我必须成为这门课的一部分。也许,作为一名终身的读者,我渴望理解故事是如何施展魔法的。)”可知,作者最终决定上课是出于她对故事写作原理的好奇心。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Seizing my chance, I raised my hand and asked, ‘If I go first, will you give me a spot in the class?’(抓住我的机会,我举手问道:“如果我第一个上,您能给我一个上课名额吗?”)”可知,作者自愿写第一个研讨故事是为了赢得课堂上的一个席位。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段“In the meanwhile, I knew the beginning of my story was attractive and that the agent might not remember me after a year. So, once again, instead of keeping my head down and avoiding eye contact, I did the opposite. I sent her the first three chapters.(同时,我知道我故事的开头很吸引人,而且那位经纪人一年后可能就不记得我了。所以,再一次,我没有低头回避,而是反其道而行之。我把前三章发给了她。)”可推知,作者把前三章发给经纪人,是因为她想抓住这个可能稍纵即逝的出版机会,即使作品尚未完成。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,文章核心讲述了作者人生中两次关键选择:第一次主动举手,以第一个写故事为条件换取了上课机会;第二次主动将未完成的作品章节发给经纪人,从而获得了出版合约。这两个决定都体现了“主动争取、敢于冒险”的精神,并最终带来了成功。C项“Success comes to those who will and dare.(成功属于那些有意愿且敢于行动的人。)”准确地概括了这一主旨。故选C。
C
Feeling bad after a favorite show ends is common, and it even has an informal name: post-series depression (PSD). Rita Kottasz, a marketing professor at Kingston University, describes PSD as “a feeling of emptiness and upset when something you love finishes”. This experience can be found in TV shows, books, or video games, creating a desire for more.
The idea of PSD gained popularity on social media and fan blogs in the mid-2010s, especially during the Golden Age of TV. Kottasz prefers not to use the name PSD, instead calling it “consumer saudade”, a Portuguese word meaning nostalgic (怀旧的) longing. However, a journal editor told her to use PSD because it's widely used outside of research.
Kottasz and her co-workers published research dividing the types of PSD based on interviews with fans who felt sad after their favorite things ended. Common emotions included frustration, disappointment, sadness, and emptiness. Some fans even felt that life was less complete or that they had lost “best friends”.
While PSD is often connected to TV shows, Kottasz is exploring its connection to other media, such as the sudden break of K-pop band BTS (防弹少年团) and novels like Harry Potter. Younger people are more influenced than older ones, partially because companies like Netflix are always giving viewers new movies and shows.
What might surprise many people is that binge-watching does not seem to cause PSD. Instead, long-term watching may be a factor. Kottasz thinks watching a show over several seasons or reading novels across many years strengthens a person’s relationship to the characters (人物). In her 2019 paper, she said a Harry Potter fan who started reading the series at age 9 was "sadly left behind" after the final book and film were published years later.
But it isn’t quite as simple as saying the end of a show or novel controls our emotion. Brian Kong, a Chicago-based psychologist, is worried that PSD might not imply (暗示) a cause and effect relationship between low moods and a program’s end. Instead, he says that when viewers experience lasting bad feelings, watching TV might be acting as an anesthetic (麻醉剂) for a deeper mental problem, like how some people with anxiety drink alcohol. In other words, the low mood already existed, and watching the series only masked it.
8. Which of the following is a common response among fans experiencing PSD?
A. A fresh sense of purpose for life. B. A deep satisfaction after the show.
C. A great sense of loss of best friends. D. A strong desire for a new hobby.
9. What does the underlined word “binge-watching” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Reviewing every detail of a TV show day and night.
B. Watching many episodes (集) of a TV show at one time.
C. Following the episodes of a TV show for a long time.
D. Reading a book series while watching the TV adaptation (改编版).
10. What does Brian Kong imply in the last paragraph?
A. PSD covers up a deeper mental problem.
B. Viewers with bad feelings like drinking alcohol.
C. Watching TV is the main cause of low moods.
D. Watching TV series can make mental problems worse.
11. What might the following paragraphs focus on?
A. The solutions to post-series depression.
B. The marketing (营销) strategies of TV shows.
C. The difference between PSD and nostalgia.
D. The influence of social media on fan emotions.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“剧终抑郁(PSD)”这一常见现象,包括其定义、名称的由来、相关研究对其类型的划分、影响人群、可能的影响因素,以及心理学家对其成因的不同观点。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Some fans even felt that life was less complete or that they had lost ‘best friends’.(一些粉丝甚至觉得生活变得不完整了,或者感觉失去了‘最好的朋友’)”可知,经历剧终抑郁的粉丝常见的反应之一是有失去最好朋友般的强烈失落感。故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。 根据第五段中“What might surprise many people is that binge-watching does not seem to cause PSD. Instead, long-term watching may be a factor.(让很多人惊讶的是, binge-watching似乎并不会导致剧终抑郁。相反,长期观看可能是一个因素)”可知,binge-watching与“长期观看”是不同的观看方式,结合常识可推测其意为“一次性观看多集电视剧”。 故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Brian Kong, a Chicago-based psychologist, is worried that PSD might not imply ( 暗示 ) a cause and effect relationship between low moods and a program’s end. Instead, he says that when viewers experiencing lasting bad feelings, watching TV might be acting as an anesthetic (麻醉剂) for a deeper mental problem, like how some people with anxiety drink alcohol. In other words, the low mood already existed, and watching the series only masked it.(芝加哥心理学家布莱恩・孔担心,剧集结束后低落情绪(PSD)或许无法说明低落情绪与剧集完结之间存在因果关系。他表示,相反,当观众正经历持续的不良情绪时,看电视可能只是在为某个更深层的心理问题充当 “麻醉剂”—— 就像有些焦虑症患者会借酒消愁一样。换句话说,低落情绪早已存在,观看电视剧只是将其掩盖了而已)”可知,PSD可能掩盖了更深层次的心理问题,看电视只是起到一种麻醉作用,而负面情绪原本就存在。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Brian Kong, a Chicago-based psychologist, is worried that PSD might not imply ( 暗示 ) a cause and effect relationship between low moods and a program’s end.

D
No business would welcome being compared to gambling (赌博). But that is what is happening to the makers of video games. For years parents have complained that their children are “addicted” to their video games and smartphones. Today, even more doctors are using the word. On January 1 this year, the name “gaming disorder” — where games are played uncontrollably-gained recognition from the World Health Organization (WHO), which means game addiction is formally considered as a psychological (心理学的) disease.
Are games really addictive? Psychologists have different opinions. Those who don’t think so say that this is just another moral panic (道德恐慌). Similar warnings have been given about television, pop music, comic books, novels and even crossword puzzles, but it turns out that they are not as harmful as expected. However, supporters argue that game developers have reasons and ways to design their products to make them extremely attractive. For one thing, the way to business has changed: in the old days, games were bought once and for all. But these days, games are free and money is earned from selling in-game goods, which connects playtime directly to earnings. For another, game-makers do research on psychology and analyze data (分析数据), which helps them maximize (最大化) the playtime. Smartphones and modern video game machines use their Internet connections to send gameplay data back to developers. In this way products are always made attractive to encourage players’ spending. The biggest spenders are titled “whales”, a word from gambling.
The gaming industry should realize that, in the real world, it has a problem, and the problem is growing. Being put together with gambling in the public mind will not do the industry any good. Now that gaming addiction comes with a WHO recognition, parents will respond to it in a more anxious manner, no matter whether their kids play games uncontrollably, or not.
12. What do we know from Paragraph 1?
A. Children prefer gambling to playing video games.
B. Gaming addiction is formally recognized as a disease.
C. More doctors are against the use of the word “addicted”.
D. Parents complain about their children’s addiction to gambling.
13. Why did the author mention television and pop music in Paragraph 2?
A. To show how popular they are.
B. To prove they are not addictive.
C. To show the anxiety they have caused.
D. To prove games might not be as harmful.
14. How did developers make games attractive?
A. They sold their games at a high price.
B. They honored big spenders with a title.
C. They improved products based on received data.
D. They design new video games of different kind.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Games: A New Kind of Gambling
B. Addiction: A Psychological Disorder
C. Games: The Cause of Psychological Disorder
D. Addiction: A Warning (警告) to the Gaming Industry
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章开篇提到世卫组织把游戏成瘾列为一种疾病,就“游戏真的会让人上瘾吗”这个问题,介绍了心理学家们给出的不同的观点,作者也对此发表了忠告。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段 “On January 1 this year, the name “gaming disorder” — where games are played uncontrollably-gained recognition from the World Health Organization (WHO), which means game addiction is formally considered as a psychological (心理学的) disease.(今年1月1日,世界卫生组织(WHO)正式承认“游戏成瘾”一词,即不受控制地玩游戏。这意味着游戏成瘾被正式认定为一种心理疾病)”可知,游戏上瘾被权威机构WHO认定为疾病。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Those who don’t think so say that this is just another moral panic (道德恐慌). Similar warnings have been given about television, pop music, comic books, novels and even crossword puzzles, but it turns out that they are not as harmful as expected.(那些不这么认为的人说,这只是又一次道德恐慌。电视、流行音乐、漫画书、小说甚至填字游戏也受到了类似的警告,但事实证明,它们的危害并没有想象的那么大)”可知,有些人认为游戏上瘾又是一次道德恐慌,通过曾经的案例证明,游戏可能不是我们想象中那么有害。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“However, supporters argue that game developers have reasons and ways to design their products to make them extremely attractive.(然而,支持者认为,游戏开发者有动机和手段来设计他们的产品,使其具有极大的吸引力)”,以及“For another, game-makers do research on psychology and analyze data (分析数据), which helps them maximize ( 最大化) the playtime. Smartphones and modern video game machines use their Internet connections to send gameplay data back to developers. In this way products are always made attractive to encourage players’ spending. (另一方面,游戏开发者将心理学理论和数据结合起来,这有助于他们最大化游戏时间。智能手机和现代电子游戏机使用它们的永久互联网连接将游戏玩法数据传回给开发者。通过这种方式,游戏会不断调整产品以鼓励玩家消费)”可知,游戏开发者不但掌握游戏者心理,还实时掌握着游戏者的游戏数据,并根据这些数据对游戏进行调整,使游戏有新鲜感,使游戏者玩得停不下手。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Today, even more doctors are using the word. On January 1 this year, the name “gaming disorder” — where games are played uncontrollably-gained recognition from the World Health Organization (WHO), which means game addiction is formally considered as a psychological (心理学的) disease.(今天,甚至更多的医生在使用这个词。今年1月1日,世界卫生组织(WHO)正式承认“游戏成瘾”一词,即不受控制地玩游戏。这意味着游戏成瘾被正式认定为一种心理疾病。)”和最后一段“The gaming industry should realize that, in the real world, it has a problem, and the problem is growing. Being put together with gambling in the public mind will not do the industry any good. (游戏行业应该意识到,在现实世界中,它存在一个问题,而且这个问题正在加剧。在公众心目中,在公众心目中,把游戏和赌博业放在一起对这个行业没有任何好处)”可知,文章主要讲述了世卫组织把游戏成瘾列为一种疾病,就“游戏真的会让人上瘾吗”这个问题,介绍了心理学家们给出的不同的观点,作者也对此发表了忠告。由此可知,D项:Addiction: A Warning to the Gaming Industry(上瘾:对游戏产业的警告)为合适的标题。故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了交换生的伊莎贝拉的经历。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意:每年,世界各地15-19岁的高中生都会做出一个重大决定。提示词作宾语,结合空格前不定冠词a可知,用单数名词decision,意为“决定”。故填decision。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他们离开家乡,去另一个国家学习长达一年。“(study)”是“They leave their home and go to another country”的目的,用不定式作目的状语。故填to study。
【38题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:交换年被认为是一段新的经历教育学生不同的生活方式的时间。know(把……看作是)是主句谓语动词,与主语An exchange year之间是被动关系,陈述客观事实用一般现在时态,又因主语是单数名词,谓语动词应用单数形式。故填is known。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意:交换年被认为是一段新的经历教育学生不同的生活方式的时间。提示词作定语修饰名词way,用形容词different,意为“不同的”。故填different。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:她这一年的开始并不完全像她希望的那样。提示词在句中作状语,用副词exactly,意为“恰好,完全”。故填exactly。
【41题详解】

【42题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:我在这里度过了最糟糕和最美好的时光。提示词与形容词best是并列关系,修饰名词time,也用最高级形式worst。故填worst。
【43题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:当2020年开始时,伊莎贝拉改变了她的寄宿家庭,给了美国又一次机会。提示词是主句谓语动词,与主语Isabela之间是主动关系,与并列谓语动词changed一样,用一般过去时态。故填gave。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:交换生在交换期间成长了很多,他们以一种新的方式看待世界。in a/an...way是固定搭配,意为“以一种……方式”。故填in。
【45题详解】

第三节 单句语法填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
46. An __________(amaze) number of students registered for the course.(所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】amazing
【解析】

47. Although I really don’t like art, I find ________ impressive to see what talented artists can create. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】it
【解析】
【详解】考查形式宾语it。句意:虽然我真的很不喜欢艺术,但我觉得看到有才华的艺术家能创造出什么很令人印象深刻。此句中find“觉得,认为”作谓语,后接“宾语+宾语补足语”,不定式短语“to see what talented artists can create”是真正宾语,impressive是形容词作宾语补足语,此空填形式宾语it,构成固定句型“find it + 形容词 + to do sth.”(觉得做某事……)。 故填it。
48. The event, _______ (schedule) to take place next month, is aimed at raising people’s awareness of environmental protection. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】scheduled
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:该活动计划于下月举行,旨在提高人们的环保意识。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语is aimed at,且无连词,设空处应用非谓语动词,与the event是逻辑动宾关系,应用过去分词scheduled,整个分词短语在句中作定语。故填scheduled。
49. Tom Hanks’ performance in the movie left a deep impression __________ him. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】on
【解析】
【详解】考查介词。句意:汤姆·汉克斯在这部电影中的表演给他留下了深刻的印象。根据句意可知,此处是固定短语leave an impression on sb.“给某人留下印象”。故填on。
50. It is recommended that the machine __________(check) every year. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】(should) be checked
【解析】
【详解】考查虚拟语气。句意:建议每年对这台机器进行检查。分析句子结构,it是形式主语,真正的主语是that引导的主语从句,check在主语从句中作谓语,且与主语the machine之间为被动关系,使用被动语态,动词recommend所在句中的主语从句需使用虚拟语气,谓语动词使用should+动词原形,should省略,因此空白处填(should) be checked,故填(should) be checked。
51. __________ (expert) say that regular exercise can improve health. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】Experts
【解析】
【详解】考查名词的数。句意:专家说有规律的锻炼能改善健康。expert“专家”为可数名词,此处用复数形式作主语,表泛指。故填Experts。
52. It was by thinking creatively __________ he solved the problem. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】that
【解析】

53. The task is simple, __________ it requires a lot of patience.(用适当的词填空)
【答案】but
【解析】
【详解】考查连词。句意:这项任务是简单的,但它需要极大的耐心。“任务简单”和“需要极大的耐心”之间为转折关系,因此用并列连词but连接句子。故填but。
54. His humorous __________(personal) made him popular with his peers. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】personality
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:他幽默的个性使他在同龄人中很受欢迎。空处为名词作宾语,personal“个人的”是形容词,名词形式personality,此处特指“他的幽默的个性”,用单数,故填personality。
55. Although there are __________(economy), political and cultural differences, the two countries have decided to cooperate in dealing with global issues. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】economic
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意:尽管存在经济、政治和文化差异,但这两个国家决定在应对全球问题上合作。所给词economy是名词,表示“经济”,在句子中需要修饰名词differences,因此应转换为形容词形式economic“经济的”,与并列的political(政治的)和cultural(文化的)保持一致,共同修饰differences作定语,故填economic。

58. Many people think I’m a quiet person, but I’m __________(事实上) very outgoing once you get to know me. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】actually
【解析】

【答案】annoys
【解析】
【详解】考查动词。句意:请别再用钢笔敲桌子了。这真的让我很烦躁,还让我难以集中注意力。空处作谓语,结合汉语提示可知,动词annoy符合句意,主语it为第三人称单数,根据下文makes可知,annoy也用第三人称单数形式。故填annoys。

62. Since 2022, more than three hundred people __________(申请) the newly-established scholarship position. (根据汉语提示完成句子)
【答案】have applied for
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语及时态。句意:自2022年以来,已有三百多人申请了这个新设立的奖学金名额。根据句意和中文提示可知,表示“申请”应用apply for,为固定短语,在本句中作谓语;再由“Since 2022”可知,这里时态应用现在完成时,主语“more than three hundred people”为复数。故填have applied for。
63. Eleven players and a coach __________(组成) our school basketball team. They work together perfectly. (根据汉语提示完成句子)
【答案】make up
【解析】
【详解】考查短语和时态。句意:我们学校的篮球队共有 11 名队员和 1 名教练。他们配合十分默契。根据汉语提示“组成”,由下文的work可知,句子用一般现在时;主语为复数含义,因而谓语用原形,所以空白处填make up。故填make up。

66. The lab is new and the lesson was great, but the guy next to me tried to talk to me the whole time. ________________.(根据句意填空)
【答案】I couldn’t concentrate on the experiment.
【解析】
【详解】考查逻辑。句意:实验室很新,这节课很精彩,但坐在我旁边的那个家伙一直都想跟我说话。我没法集中在实验上。根据前文,我旁边的家伙一直想要和我说话,因此我没法集中做实验。根据前文语境,时态为一般过去时,主语I,表示“我”,谓语concentrate on“集中”,宾语the experiment“实验”,“不能”用couldn’t,后接动词原形。故填I couldn’t concentrate on the experiment.
67. This morning, I was worried that no one would talk to me. But I was wrong. ________________.(根据句意填空)
【答案】I didn’t feel awkward or frightened at all
【解析】

68. My name is Adam and I’m a freshman at senior high school. ________, the first week was a little confusing. (根据句意填空)
【答案】However
【解析】

69. Studying hard isn’t always fun, but ________________.(根据句意填空)
【答案】I will be well prepared for university or whatever else comes

70. A short flight from Cusco takes you from the Andes into the Amazon rainforest. From there, ________________.(根据句意填空)

【解析】
【详解】考查时态和短语。句意:从库斯科出发的短途飞行将带你从安第斯山脉进入亚马逊雨林。从那里,你将花一天的时间乘船到你在森林中的住处。结合句意,句子主语是you,陈述还未发生的事情,用一般将来时,“花费……做某事”用短语spend...doing sth.,“前往”用travel to表达,travel用动名词形式,“乘船”用by boat表达,因此“花一天乘船前往”表达为spend one day travelling by boat to,“你在森林中的住处”用your accommodation in the middle of the forest表达,介词短语in the middle of the forest作后置定语修饰accommodation。综上,故填you will spend one day travelling by boat to your accommodation in the middle of the forest。

Dear worried friend,
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I hope my suggestions will be helpful. Best wishes to you.
Yours,
Susan
【答案】
Dear worried friend,
I’m truly sorry to hear about your trouble with your best friend. It’s totally normal to feel confused and sad when a close friend stops talking to you — even small fights can hurt a lot, and you’re not alone in this.
Here are a few suggestions that might help. First, take a little time to calm down. When we’re upset, we might say things we don’t mean, so waiting a day or two can help both of you think more clearly. Second, try to talk to her gently, maybe in person or with a short note. Tell her how you feel — like you miss talking to her and want to understand why she’s upset. This shows you care and are willing to listen, which can soften her mood. Third, if she shares her feelings, don’t rush to explain yourself. Just listen carefully first; sometimes friends just need to feel heard before they can forgive.
I hope my suggestions will be helpful. Best wishes to you.
Yours,
Susan
【解析】
【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文,要求考生给署名为Worried的同学回信,就其最近遇到的困扰表示安慰并予以建议。

【高分句型2】This shows you care and are willing to listen, which can soften her mood.(运用了省略that的宾语从句和which引导的非限制性定语从句)
