At age 90, I finally realized that I qualify as “elderly”. However, I don’t ever want that label of “senior citizen”. How I look and feel is only part of facing reality. The big factor is how other people treat me. This hit me rather dramatically as I was exiting a building the other day. As I started for the door, a young woman stepped ahead of me. Then she opened and held the door for me.
I expected an active retirement, but my body had other plans. I’m learning to embrace it. This kind of thing is beginning to happen all the time. At the hardware store, I bought a few minor items—light bulbs and birdseed weighing perhaps a total of 10 pounds. As I started to pick up the bag, the cashier said, “Sir, let me get someone to help you with that.”
For a few weeks, all of these made me sad. I am a man of a certain generation after all: former Air Force officer and jet fighter pilot, former corporate executive, author, former speaker and consultant, and so on. But I’m too old for anyone to hire me even if I wanted them to. It can be depressing. It didn’t help a lot to realize that I’ve had a great life. But as I thought about that, trying my best to count my blessings, it began to sound like an obituary (补告).
It has taken several weeks to realize that respect and learn from the past, but don’t let yourself be held prisoner by your memories; and always look to the future with optimism but live in the present, treasuring every single minute of every single day, even the ones that your younger self would have complained about.
Finally, when all those younger folks offer to help, let go of the chagrin, realize that it makes other people feel good to help and just say, “Thank you.” I think they, whoever they are, refer to that as aging gracefully.
4. What made the author realize he was elderly?
A. The memories of his successful past. B. The help offered by a young woman.
C. His label “senior citizen” given by society. D. His physical appearance and health condition.
5. How did the author firstly react to being treated like an old person?
A. He felt spiritless. B. He was indifferent.
C. He was bored with it. D. He accepted it agreeably.
6. What do we know about the author from the text?
A. He is lost in his past success. B. He has an idea for his obituary.
C. He has a positive outlook on life. D. He is suffering memory loss.
7. What does the underlined word “chagrin” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Past. B. Fear. C. Confidence. D. Annoyance.
C
Surfing was once banned in Hawaii. Today, you can shape a surfboard like Hawaiian royalty. The art of playing in harmony with the ocean is something Native Hawaiians have done for centuries. It’s called surfing nowadays, but the ancient Hawaiians said wave sliding.
It was another way Native Hawaiians connected with the ocean, a place of cultural and spiritual significance, as well as what many depended on for their livelihoods. From fishing to canoeing, the ocean was the center of ancient Hawaiian culture.
It’s an addictive, exciting feeling to slide along a wave. It’s no wonder the sport has exploded in popularity, with some surf breaks in Australia reportedly seeing more than double the amount of people in the water. Over the past decade, the number of surfers in the US has risen by 35%. It’s easy to pop into any surf shop and browse the many board options.
Some Native Hawaiian surfers are showing respect to their ancestors by showing people how surfing is more than a sport; it’s a way of life in Hawaiian culture. Oahu-born and Hawaii Island-living Bonga Perkins is one of them. Perkins’ life has always revolved around surfing. Growing up near Waikiki Beach, he started surfing professionally at age 18, going on to win two world titles for longboarding in 1996 and 2008. Shaping boards for over 40 years, Perkins offers guests at the Four Seasons Hualalai on Hawaii Island the chance to shape their own wooden surfboard called an alaia, the same kind that Hawaiian kings and queens rode hundreds of years ago. Then, they have the chance to ride the board they created in the water.
“Over the years, surfing has lost its original sense gradually, so I want to bring understanding the grassroots way, and what other way than to shape and surf your own board?” Perkins said, and through this experience, “people can really appreciate, connect and look at surfing in an entirely different way.”
8. What’s the relationship between ocean and ancient Hawaiians?
A. It was their survival necessity.
B. It served as hard-to-find resource.
C. It used to be badly damaged by them.
D. It was only used for surfing activities.
9. What does the author intend to show in paragraph 3?
A. The rising popularity of surfing.
B. The various choices of surfboards.
C The exciting experience of surfing.
D. The explosion of surf shops in Hawaii.
10. What can guests do at the Four Seasons Hualalai?
A. Meet the world surfing champion.
B. Learn to build their own alaia.
C. Get professional surfing training.
D. Ride Hawaiian kings’ surfboards.
11. What does Perkins aim to achieve?
A. To set a new fashion.
B. To reduce the cost of surfboards.
C. To tell people the advantages of surfing.
D. To help surfers regain the meaning of surfing.
D
Dogs yawn (打哈欠) for many reasons. Sometimes they do it when they are tired, sometimes when they are stressed, and sometimes when they see someone else yawn. In fact, studies have shown that yawning is a complex behavior that can serve many different purposes.
For example, yawning has been shown to increase alertness and vigilance in both humans and animals. Dogs use yawning for much more than just showing tiredness; it is also an important form of communication! When puppies see their mother yawn, they often respond in kind. This behavior helps them to build social bonds with one another and strengthens the connection between the pup and the parent. Additionally, this act increases lung capacity (肺活量) which helps your furry friend regulate body temperature.
There is still much mystery about the purpose of yawning, but it is clear that it plays an important role. For dogs, yawning is a way to cool down the brain. Dogs don’t sweat like humans do, so they depend on panting (喘气) to regulate their body temperature. But panting can only do so much, and in hot weather, their brains can get overheated. Yawning helps to circulate the air around the brain and brings in cooler air from outside. In addition, when a dog yawns, the muscles in the face and jaw contract, which helps to release tension and relax the whole body.
Just like humans, dogs can yawn when they’re tired or stressed. In fact, a dog’s yawn is often a sign that they need a break. If your dog starts yawning more than usual, it’s important to take notice and see if there are any other changes in their behavior. For example, if they’re also panting heavily or pacing back and forth, it could be a sign that they’re feeling anxious. However, if your dog yawns after a good walk or a play session, it’s probably just because they’re sleepy. While occasional yawns are common and healthy for dogs, excessive amounts can raise some red flags about their wellbeing.
12. How many purposes of yawning are mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
13. What does the author want to say by mentioning “panting” in paragraph 3?
A. Dogs pant to relax their whole body.
B. Dogs have difficulty panting in hot weather.
C. Dogs cool down their brains by panting heavily.
D. Dogs need to yawn to cool down besides panting.
14. What does it mean if your dog can’t stop yawning?
A. It wants to go outside. B. It feels very annoyed.
C. It may be rather tired. D. It may be in bad health.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Why do dogs yawn?
B How do dogs regulate body temperature?
C. The ways dogs display tiredness and stress
D. The relationship between dog yawning and its health

“If you buy things you do not need, soon you will have to sell things you need.” This wise advice is from Warren Buffett, one of the greatest financial minds of the 21st century. ___16___ This is true especially in the present economic climate.
While being frugal (节俭的) has long been a part of Eastern culture, the relatively recent growth of wealth in China and the ease of shopping have led to increased consumerism for many across the country. Yet this has been pushing up the prices of certain bare essentials such as housing, transportation and food, which is forcing people to think carefully while spending money. ___17___
The Internet is flooded with advice on where one can save money and good opinions about how they should spend their money. For example, clothes can be bought second-hand, but you should never skip a visit to the dentist. It makes sense to prioritize (优先考虑) goods and services that directly affect your health. ___18___ Of course, it is still fine to occasionally spend money on a nice vacation, but buying many shoes you will only wear a few times is neither responsible nor eco-friendly.
Hopefully, we all fully understand that the resources on the earth are limited. ___19___As a result, the choice (forced or not) to be frugal is good for not only one’s wallet but the planet in the long run. Have you ever chosen to starve yourself to get a pair of limited-edition sneakers? ___20___
A A continuous growth model on this planet is not ecofriendly.
B. If so, it is high time you started making changes for yourself.
C. Meanwhile, you should limit those that are fancy but not necessary.
D. These words have always not been taken seriously by young people.
E. They are meant to encourage people to buy more stuff than they need.
F. It is no wonder then that being frugal is once again becoming a main trend.
G Many young people today appear to be taking these words very much to heart.

47. 请阅读下面材料,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。
One day, when I was reading, I received a call from the principal (校长) of my high school to invite me to give a talk as a representative of alumni association (校友会). He asked me to speak to the group the next morning. I felt so honored to have got such an opportunity and immediately replied yes. But after the call, I became nervous and panicky.
The whole night, I polished my speech again and again, and practiced before a mirror until I could deliver the speech fluently. Even though I had made full preparations, I could not sleep with great anxiety. What if words failed me and didn’t attract audience at all? What if I forgot the words in the middle of the speech?... I was hesitating to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not come. Finally, I gathered some courage to go. I thought, “If I miss this opportunity, surely the school will never invite me again to any of their programs.”
Anyway, I reached the school on time. Before giving the talk, my whole body was trembling. When my turn came and I started speaking, my heartbeat increased and my mouth went dry. I wasn’t even able to read the written speech properly. I was not aware of where I was standing and what I was reading. I just managed to finish the speech in a low voice. That was the day when I realized my biggest weakness, Public Speaking Anxiety.
注意:
1. 词数应为120左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
After my speech, I met with the principal and explained what happened to me.

At age 90, I finally realized that I qualify as “elderly”. However, I don’t ever want that label of “senior citizen”. How I look and feel is only part of facing reality. The big factor is how other people treat me. This hit me rather dramatically as I was exiting a building the other day. As I started for the door, a young woman stepped ahead of me. Then she opened and held the door for me.
I expected an active retirement, but my body had other plans. I’m learning to embrace it. This kind of thing is beginning to happen all the time. At the hardware store, I bought a few minor items—light bulbs and birdseed weighing perhaps a total of 10 pounds. As I started to pick up the bag, the cashier said, “Sir, let me get someone to help you with that.”
For a few weeks, all of these made me sad. I am a man of a certain generation after all: former Air Force officer and jet fighter pilot, former corporate executive, author, former speaker and consultant, and so on. But I’m too old for anyone to hire me even if I wanted them to. It can be depressing. It didn’t help a lot to realize that I’ve had a great life. But as I thought about that, trying my best to count my blessings, it began to sound like an obituary (补告).
It has taken several weeks to realize that respect and learn from the past, but don’t let yourself be held prisoner by your memories; and always look to the future with optimism but live in the present, treasuring every single minute of every single day, even the ones that your younger self would have complained about.
Finally, when all those younger folks offer to help, let go of the chagrin, realize that it makes other people feel good to help and just say, “Thank you.” I think they, whoever they are, refer to that as aging gracefully.
4. What made the author realize he was elderly?
A. The memories of his successful past. B. The help offered by a young woman.
C. His label “senior citizen” given by society. D. His physical appearance and health condition.
5. How did the author firstly react to being treated like an old person?
A. He felt spiritless. B. He was indifferent.
C. He was bored with it. D. He accepted it agreeably.
6. What do we know about the author from the text?
A. He is lost in his past success. B. He has an idea for his obituary.
C. He has a positive outlook on life. D. He is suffering memory loss.
7. What does the underlined word “chagrin” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Past. B. Fear. C. Confidence. D. Annoyance.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】

【4题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段“The big factor is how other people treat me. This hit me rather dramatically as I was exiting a building the other day. As I started for the door, a young woman stepped ahead of me. Then she opened and held the door for me.(最重要的因素是别人如何对待我。前几天我走出一栋楼时,这对我产生了相当大的打击。当我朝门口走去时,一位年轻女子走在我前面。然后她打开门,为我扶住了门。)”可知,一位年轻女子的帮助让作者意识到自己已经老了。故选B项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段 “For a few weeks, all of these made me sad. I am a man of a certain generation after all: former Air Force officer and jet fighter pilot, former corporate executive, author, former speaker and consultant, and so on. But I’m too old for anyone to hire me even if I wanted them to. It can be depressing. (几周来,所有这些都让我很难过。毕竟,我属于某一代人:前空军军官和喷气式战斗机飞行员、前公司高管、作家、前演讲者和顾问等等。但我太老了,即使我想让他们雇佣我,也没有人会雇佣我。这可能会让人沮丧。)” 可知,一开始当被当作老人对待时,作者是感到悲伤、沮丧的,也就是没什么精神的。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。文章倒数第二段提到“It has taken several weeks to realize that respect and learn from the past, but don’t let yourself be held prisoner by your memories; and always look to the future with optimism but live in the present, treasuring every single minute of every single day, even the ones that your younger self would have complained about.(花了几个星期才意识到尊重和从过去中吸取教训,但不要让自己被记忆所束缚;始终乐观地展望未来,但要活在当下,珍惜每一天的每一分钟,即使是年轻的自己会抱怨的那一分钟。)”可知,作者有着积极的人生观,尊重过去、展望未来、珍惜当下。故选C项。
【7题详解】
词句猜测题。由最后一段“Finally, when all those younger folks offer to help, let go of the chagrin, realize that it makes other people feel good to help and just say, ‘Thank you.’ I think they, whoever they are, refer to that as aging gracefully.(最后,当所有这些年轻人都主动提供帮助时,放下 ,意识到帮助别人会让人感觉很好,然后说‘谢谢’。我认为他们,不管他们是谁,都把这称为优雅的衰老。)”可知,这里指当年轻人帮忙时,要放下那种不好的情绪,意识到别人帮忙会感觉良好然后说声谢谢,所以这里的“chagrin”是一种负面的情绪,应是“恼怒”的意思。故选D项。
C
Surfing was once banned in Hawaii. Today, you can shape a surfboard like Hawaiian royalty. The art of playing in harmony with the ocean is something Native Hawaiians have done for centuries. It’s called surfing nowadays, but the ancient Hawaiians said wave sliding.
It was another way Native Hawaiians connected with the ocean, a place of cultural and spiritual significance, as well as what many depended on for their livelihoods. From fishing to canoeing, the ocean was the center of ancient Hawaiian culture.
It’s an addictive, exciting feeling to slide along a wave. It’s no wonder the sport has exploded in popularity, with some surf breaks in Australia reportedly seeing more than double the amount of people in the water. Over the past decade, the number of surfers in the US has risen by 35%. It’s easy to pop into any surf shop and browse the many board options.
Some Native Hawaiian surfers are showing respect to their ancestors by showing people how surfing is more than a sport; it’s a way of life in Hawaiian culture. Oahu-born and Hawaii Island-living Bonga Perkins is one of them. Perkins’ life has always revolved around surfing. Growing up near Waikiki Beach, he started surfing professionally at age 18, going on to win two world titles for longboarding in 1996 and 2008. Shaping boards for over 40 years, Perkins offers guests at the Four Seasons Hualalai on Hawaii Island the chance to shape their own wooden surfboard called an alaia, the same kind that Hawaiian kings and queens rode hundreds of years ago. Then, they have the chance to ride the board they created in the water.
“Over the years, surfing has lost its original sense gradually, so I want to bring understanding the grassroots way, and what other way than to shape and surf your own board?” Perkins said, and through this experience, “people can really appreciate, connect and look at surfing in an entirely different way.”
8. What’s the relationship between ocean and ancient Hawaiians?
A. It was their survival necessity.
B. It served as hard-to-find resource.
C. It used to be badly damaged by them.
D. It was only used for surfing activities.
9. What does the author intend to show in paragraph 3?
A. The rising popularity of surfing.
B. The various choices of surfboards.
C. The exciting experience of surfing.
D. The explosion of surf shops in Hawaii.
10. What can guests do at the Four Seasons Hualalai?
A. Meet the world surfing champion.
B. Learn to build their own alaia.
C. Get professional surfing training.
D. Ride Hawaiian kings’ surfboards.
11. What does Perkins aim to achieve?
A. To set a new fashion.
B. To reduce the cost of surfboards.
C. To tell people the advantages of surfing.
D. To help surfers regain the meaning of surfing.
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. B 11. D

It’s easy to pop into any surf shop and browse the many board options.(沿着海浪滑行的那种令人着迷、兴奋的感觉真是妙极了。难怪这项运动如此受欢迎,据报道,澳大利亚的一些冲浪点的入水人数甚至增加了两倍以上。在过去十年里,美国的冲浪者数量增长了 35%。随便走进一家冲浪用品店,都能看到各种各样的冲浪板供你挑选。)” 可知,作者通过描述冲浪的受欢迎程度、冲浪点人数的增加以及冲浪者数量的增长,来展示冲浪运动的日益流行。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Shaping boards for over 40 years, Perkins offers guests at the Four Seasons Hualalai on Hawaii Island the chance to shape their own wooden surfboard called an alaia, the same kind that Hawaiian kings and queens rode hundreds of years ago. (制作冲浪板已有40多年历史,佩金斯为夏威夷岛Four Seasons Hualalai的客人提供制作自己木制冲浪板alaia的机会,这种冲浪板与几百年前夏威夷国王和王后乘坐的那种相同。)”可知,客人在这里可以学习制作自己的alaia冲浪板。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“‘Over the years, surfing has lost its original sense gradually, so I want to bring understanding the grassroots way, and what other way than to shape and surf your own board?’ Perkins said, and through this experience, ‘people can really appreciate, connect and look at surfing in an entirely different way.’(“多年来,冲浪逐渐失去了其原有的意义,所以我想以一种草根的方式来让人们理解,还有什么方式比亲手制作并用自己的冲浪板去冲浪更好呢?”Perkins说,通过这种体验,“人们可以真正地欣赏、联系并以一种完全不同的方式看待冲浪。”)”可知,Perkins的目标是帮助冲浪者重新找回冲浪的意义。D选项“To help surfers regain the meaning of surfing.(帮助冲浪者重新找回冲浪的意义)”符合题意。故选D项。

Dogs yawn (打哈欠) for many reasons. Sometimes they do it when they are tired, sometimes when they are stressed, and sometimes when they see someone else yawn. In fact, studies have shown that yawning is a complex behavior that can serve many different purposes.
For example, yawning has been shown to increase alertness and vigilance in both humans and animals. Dogs use yawning for much more than just showing tiredness; it is also an important form of communication! When puppies see their mother yawn, they often respond in kind. This behavior helps them to build social bonds with one another and strengthens the connection between the pup and the parent. Additionally, this act increases lung capacity (肺活量) which helps your furry friend regulate body temperature.
There is still much mystery about the purpose of yawning, but it is clear that it plays an important role. For dogs, yawning is a way to cool down the brain. Dogs don’t sweat like humans do, so they depend on panting (喘气) to regulate their body temperature. But panting can only do so much, and in hot weather, their brains can get overheated. Yawning helps to circulate the air around the brain and brings in cooler air from outside. In addition, when a dog yawns, the muscles in the face and jaw contract, which helps to release tension and relax the whole body.
Just like humans, dogs can yawn when they’re tired or stressed. In fact, a dog’s yawn is often a sign that they need a break. If your dog starts yawning more than usual, it’s important to take notice and see if there are any other changes in their behavior. For example, if they’re also panting heavily or pacing back and forth, it could be a sign that they’re feeling anxious. However, if your dog yawns after a good walk or a play session, it’s probably just because they’re sleepy. While occasional yawns are common and healthy for dogs, excessive amounts can raise some red flags about their wellbeing.
12. How many purposes of yawning are mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
13. What does the author want to say by mentioning “panting” in paragraph 3?
A. Dogs pant to relax their whole body.
B. Dogs have difficulty panting in hot weather.
C. Dogs cool down their brains by panting heavily.
D. Dogs need to yawn to cool down besides panting.
14. What does it mean if your dog can’t stop yawning?
A. It wants to go outside. B. It feels very annoyed.
C. It may be rather tired. D. It may be in bad health.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Why do dogs yawn?
B. How do dogs regulate body temperature?
C. The ways dogs display tiredness and stress
D. The relationship between dog yawning and its health
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了狗打哈欠有多种原因,打哈欠对狗有多种作用,异常打哈欠需留意。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“For example, yawning has been shown to increase alertness and vigilance in both humans and animals. Dogs use yawning for much more than just showing tiredness; it is also an important form of communication! When puppies see their mother yawn, they often respond in kind. This behavior helps them to build social bonds with one another and strengthens the connection between the pup and the parent.Additionally, this act increases lung capacity (肺活量) which helps your furry friend regulate body temperature.(例如,打哈欠已经被证明可以提高人类和动物的警觉性。狗打哈欠不仅仅是为了表示疲劳,它也是一种重要的交流形式!当小狗看到它们的妈妈打哈欠时,它们通常会以同样的方式回应。这种行为有助于它们彼此建立社会联系,并加强幼崽和父母之间的联系。此外,这种行为还能增加肺活量,帮助你的毛茸茸的朋友调节体温。)”可知,第二段提到了打哈欠可以提高警觉性、是一种交流形式、可以建立社会联系以及增加肺活量这四个作用。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Dogs don’t sweat like humans do, so they depend on panting (喘气) to regulate their body temperature. But panting can only do so much, and in hot weather, their brains can get overheated. Yawning helps to circulate the air around the brain and brings in cooler air from outside.((狗不像人类那样出汗,所以它们依靠喘气来调节体温。但是喘气的作用有限,在炎热的天气里,它们的大脑会过热。打哈欠有助于大脑周围的空气循环,并从外部吸入更凉爽的空气。)”可知,作者提到喘气是为了说明除了喘气外,狗还需要打哈欠来给大脑降温。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“While occasional yawns are common and healthy for dogs, excessive amounts can raise some red flags about their wellbeing.(虽然偶尔打哈欠对狗来说很常见也很健康,但过多的打哈欠可能会对它们的健康亮起红灯。)”可知,如果狗不停地打哈欠,可能意味着它的健康状况不佳。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段“Dogs yawn (打哈欠) for many reasons. Sometimes they do it when they are tired, sometimes when they are stressed, and sometimes when they see someone else yawn. In fact, studies have shown that yawning is a complex behavior that can serve many different purposes.(狗打哈欠有很多原因。有时它们在累的时候打哈欠,有时在压力大的时候打哈欠,有时在看到别人打哈欠的时候打哈欠。事实上,研究表明打哈欠是一种复杂的行为,可以有多种不同的目的。)”可知,文章主要讨论了狗打哈欠的原因和作用,所以“Why do dogs yawn?(为什么狗会打哈欠?)”作为标题最合适。故选A。

“If you buy things you do not need, soon you will have to sell things you need.” This wise advice is from Warren Buffett, one of the greatest financial minds of the 21st century. ___16___ This is true especially in the present economic climate.
While being frugal (节俭的) has long been a part of Eastern culture, the relatively recent growth of wealth in China and the ease of shopping have led to increased consumerism for many across the country. Yet this has been pushing up the prices of certain bare essentials such as housing, transportation and food, which is forcing people to think carefully while spending money. ___17___
The Internet is flooded with advice on where one can save money and good opinions about how they should spend their money. For example, clothes can be bought second-hand, but you should never skip a visit to the dentist. It makes sense to prioritize (优先考虑) goods and services that directly affect your health. ___18___ Of course, it is still fine to occasionally spend money on a nice vacation, but buying many shoes you will only wear a few times is neither responsible nor eco-friendly.
Hopefully, we all fully understand that the resources on the earth are limited. ___19___As a result, the choice (forced or not) to be frugal is good for not only one’s wallet but the planet in the long run. Have you ever chosen to starve yourself to get a pair of limited-edition sneakers? ___20___
A. A continuous growth model on this planet is not ecofriendly.
B. If so, it is high time you started making changes for yourself.
C. Meanwhile, you should limit those that are fancy but not necessary.
D. These words have always not been taken seriously by young people.
E. They are meant to encourage people to buy more stuff than they need.
F. It is no wonder then that being frugal is once again becoming a main trend.
G. Many young people today appear to be taking these words very much to heart.
【答案】16. G 17. F 18. C 19. A 20. B

【20题详解】
根据前文“Have you ever chosen to starve yourself to get a pair of limited-edition sneakers?(你是否曾为了买一双限量版运动鞋而挨饿?)”可知,此空需针对前文的反问给出建议。B选项“If so, it is high time you started making changes for yourself.(如果有,那么现在正是你开始为自己做出改变的时候)”符合语境。故选B项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了气排球这项运动,它以其独特的特点吸引了中国的老年健身爱好者,在推动全民健身和老龄化社会的运动选择方面发挥着积极作用。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:气排球运动正吸引着中国的老年健身爱好者,成为他们保持身心年轻的一种方式。a way to do sth.为固定搭配,意为“做某事的一种方式”,此处用动词不定式to stay作后置定语,修饰way。故填to stay。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:气排球实际上与普通排球很相似。气排球由更大、更轻的软质材料制成,而非较重的皮制球,它在较小的场地上进行,球网也比普通排球低,这使得各个年龄段的人在室内外都能轻松参与。be made of为固定短语,意为“由……制成(能看出原材料)”,符合语境,故填of。
【38题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:气排球实际上与普通排球很相似。气排球由更大、更轻的软质材料制成,而非较重的皮制球,它在较小的场地上进行,球网也比普通排球低,这使得各个年龄段的人在室内外都能轻松参与。句子描述客观事实,主语gas volleyball与play之间是被动关系,即“被打”,所以用一般现在时的被动语态,其结构为“am/is/are +过去分词”,主语是单数,所以用is played。故填is played。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:气排球实际上与普通排球很相似。气排球由更大、更轻的软质材料制成,而非较重的皮制球,它在较小的场地上进行,球网也比普通排球低,这使得各个年龄段的人在室内外都能轻松参与。此处是非谓语动词作状语,前面描述的气排球的特点导致了“各个年龄段的人在室内外都能轻松参与”这个结果,所以用现在分词making作结果状语,表自然而然的结果。故填making。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:气排球在20世纪80年代发展起来,作为竞技排球的一种休闲替代运动,也被称为气球排球或轻排球,回合更多。be known as为固定短语,意为“被称为”,此处用过去分词短语known as balloon volleyball or light volleyball作后置定语,修饰gas volleyball。故填known。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:比赛节奏较慢,所需力量较小,但有助于参与者伸展身体,提高身体协调性。require为及物动词,后接名词作宾语,strong的名词形式是strength,意为“力量”,为不可数名词。故填strength。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:它仍然是一项团队运动,在这项运动中人们需要交流,而且几乎不会造成受伤。空格处引导定语从句,先行词为team sport,在从句中作地点状语,即“在团队运动中”,所以用关系副词where引导。故填where。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:随着中国推进到2035年建成体育强国的目标,气排球在老龄化社会已成为一种理想的运动选择。choice为可数名词单数,此处表示泛指“一种理想的运动选择”,且ideal是以元音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词an。故填an。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:“近年来,气排球显然有助于推动全民健身运动。初学者甚至是从未打过排球的人都很容易尝试,”于先生在2023年萨马兰奇杯气排球邀请赛闭幕式上说。此处修饰动词helped,要用副词形式,obvious的副词是obviously,意为“显然”。故填obviously。
【45题详解】
考查代词。句意:“近年来,气排球显然有助于推动全民健身运动。初学者甚至是从未打过排球的人都很容易尝试,”于先生在2023年萨马兰奇杯气排球邀请赛闭幕式上说。此处指代那些从未打过排球的人,应用复数代词those。故填those。

47. 请阅读下面材料,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。
One day, when I was reading, I received a call from the principal (校长) of my high school to invite me to give a talk as a representative of alumni association (校友会). He asked me to speak to the group the next morning. I felt so honored to have got such an opportunity and immediately replied yes. But after the call, I became nervous and panicky.
The whole night, I polished my speech again and again, and practiced before a mirror until I could deliver the speech fluently. Even though I had made full preparations, I could not sleep with great anxiety. What if words failed me and didn’t attract audience at all? What if I forgot the words in the middle of the speech?... I was hesitating to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not come. Finally, I gathered some courage to go. I thought, “If I miss this opportunity, surely the school will never invite me again to any of their programs.”
Anyway, I reached the school on time. Before giving the talk, my whole body was trembling. When my turn came and I started speaking, my heartbeat increased and my mouth went dry. I wasn’t even able to read the written speech properly. I was not aware of where I was standing and what I was reading. I just managed to finish the speech in a low voice. That was the day when I realized my biggest weakness, Public Speaking Anxiety.
注意:
1. 词数应为120左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
After my speech, I met with the principal and explained what happened to me.

Around one month later, I was invited to give another speech.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
After my speech, I met with the principal and explained what happened to me. Instead of blaming me, he comforted me warmly. He told me that this happened to everyone. Even great speakers faced the same things when they started. He encouraged me to practice more and not to give up. And he even suggested that I come again next time. With his encouragement, I made up my mind to overcome the problem of public speaking anxiety. I was greatly convinced that I could do better next time.
Around one month later, I was invited to give another speech. After a month of practice, this time I was feeling comfortable and confident. It turned out that my speech was appreciated by the principal as well as the teachers because I was able to get my idea across to them. They encouraged me and praised my efforts, which made me very happy. After delivering it successfully, I became more confident. I was grateful to this opportunity because it made me realize that everything is possible if we have the courage to take the first step.
