The afternoon air was thick and warm, and by the time my dad and I reached the bay, which we called a swimming palace, my clothes were damp and itchy (痒) on my skin. Dad dived into a splash, heading out toward the edge of our narrow bay. Overwhelmed, suddenly, and with envy, I did what I hadn’t done in years: I held my breath and pulled my own head underwater.
There suspended beneath the glimmering surface, I remembered it all — my love of diving, swimming, rivers and lakes. I knew what it was like again: to be free and fully present in my own skin.
Though I’ve always loved the water, I had spent seven years prior to that day staying away from moments like this one. I was afraid. Struggling for a long time with unhelpful treatments, and the pressures of teenage girls’ appearance, I had become entirely reliant on my makeup. I needed total control over how I looked, and going swimming meant washing this control away. My bare face and natural appearance were not something I identified with. I hated it, deeply, though I wished more than anything that I didn’t.
But those 10 minutes of contentment I floated within were fuel for the next chapter of my life. Suddenly, it didn’t matter how I did it. Whether through medication or mental attitude, I would find a way to have the kind of life that allowed me to dive into the water.
That day was the beginning of a slow but determined journey back to my own body — a slow unearthing of my deep self-consciousness. Life didn’t change in a heartbeat: I returned to the shore with all the same fears, but I clothed myself in a new determination to change things. I felt the tide turn.
Reflecting on this moment again today, it seems strange to think that going bare-faced on an empty beach was such a challenge. But this is exactly the perspective I had once dreamed of reaching. I do my best never to take for granted this freedom I have found. I will sink under the surface of the water, embracing that swell of fear and joy and liberation.
4. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A. My father’s action inspired me. B. I once suffered from memory loss.
C. My envy prevented me from diving. D. The bay was where I learned swimming.
5. The author avoided swimming for seven years because of ______ .
A. pressure from independence B. treatment for mental illness
C. inconvenience of making up D. insecurity about appearance
6. How did the author feel after she returned from the diving?
A Hesitant and fearful. B. Restless but joyful.
C. Proud and contented. D. Afraid but resolute.
7. What message does the author want to convey in the passage?
A. Do not judge a book by its cover. B. Self-acceptance is the greatest gift.
C. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. D. Nothing is difficult to a willing heart.
C
For much of history, the practice of art was mysterious, and artists were viewed as being somewhat odd and often mad. Even the word most commonly associated with artists — inspiration — has its own magical qualities. Literally, the word “inspiration” means the breathing-in of a spirit. Artists were thought of as people who were uniquely inspired to create.
Many artists credited their talents to the presence of some supernatural power. The Romantic poets believed that art was a term that meant an ultimate expression of beauty and truth. The search for this ideal led them to explore both natural and supernatural themes in their works.
Another persistent view of art regarded its divorce from logic. Reason and logic were the province of scientists and philosophers, whereas creativity and insight were the area of the artists. The two separate aspects of the mind were supposed to remain distinct.
But in 1704, a major breakthrough occurred. Sir Isaac Newton, mathematician and physicist, published his study of light, Opticks. One of Newton’s major discoveries was on the nature of color. Using a prism (棱镜), Newton provided a scientific explanation for the presence of rainbows. The artistic community was shocked. A scientist had ventured into their sacred territory.
More than a hundred years later, John Keats, one of the most famous Romantic poets, accused Newton of reducing beauty by “unweaving the rainbow”. His colleague, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, famously remarked that the souls of five hundred Newtons would be needed to make one Shakespeare. And yet, from another perspective, Newton did not reduce the beauty of the rainbow; he enhanced it. In his search to uncover the secrets of the rainbow, Newton demonstrated the wonder, creativity, and inspiration of an artist. His discovery also paved the way for the development of spectroscopy, a way of analyzing the chemical makeup of light. Now scientists can look at the stars and know their composition. The sense of wonder this ability creates is not much different from the wonder the poet or artist feels when staring at those same stars.
8. According to the passage, what was the common view of artists in history?
A. Their works focused on the supernatural. B. Their unique abilities came from within.
C. They possessed both logic and magic. D. They were strange but indeed gifted.
9. How did the Romantic poets react to Newton’s discovery about light and color?
A. They credited Newton’s insights to mystical influences.
B. They felt it faded the poetic beauty of natural phenomena.
C. They were inspired to integrate more scientific themes in their poetry.
D. They believed it added a new dimension to the appreciation of beauty.
10. Why does the author mention John Keats’ and Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s views on Newton?
A. To contrast their criticism with science’s artistic value.
B To highlight the effect of scientific breakthroughs on art.
C. To show Romantic poets’ objection to scientific progress.
D. To emphasize the superior creativity of poets over scientists.
11. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Distinguishing Art from Science B. Isaac Newton’s Influence on Arts
C. Shared Wonder of Art and Science D. The Artistic Interpretation of Science
D
Long before Webster completed his 1828 masterpiece, An American Dictionary of the English Language, he published A Grammatical Institute of the English Language, which matched traditional English orthography (拼写法), with, for instance, entries for “theatre” and “publick”. After that, however, Webster became committed to an American dialect that would be distinct from British English. He featured updated spellings of a number of words, including “theater” and “public”.
As Gab e Henry notes in Enough Is Enuf, a history of the largely fruitless efforts to reform English spelling, Webster wasn’t motivated by nationalism alone. He had also become an advocate of comprehensive changes to written English, mourning its “irregular” orthography. Mr. Henry begins his smart, lighthearted account of the simplified spelling movement by identifying the “heart of our problem” that “English has 44 sounds but only 26letters” and that each sound has, “on average, four ways of spelling it”. Over the centuries, reformers have proposed solutions—including adding new letters to the alphabet and removing existing letters from the alphabet—all in vain.
It’s fitting that Henry, our guide through this history, is a humorist. For one thing, simplified spelling looks funny, a fact that 19th-century writers such as Josh Billings, skillfully employed. “I owe my suksess in life to midevoshun to spelyng,” Billings once wrote. Enough Is Enuf also finds humor in how deadly serious some notable figures were about spelling reform, Melvil Dewey, the creator of the Dewey System, was born “Melville,” but his commitment to spelling reform started with his own name.
The final section of Enough Is Enuf brings simplified spelling into the current age, covering advertising, digital technology and even the pop songwriting of Prince. Of course, texting and social media have simplified the way we communicate, satisfying the remaining die-hard spelling reformers even as traditionalists mourn the rise of “GR8,” “pls,” and the like. Mr. Henry, for his part, is untroubled by text-speak, and he argues that Webster would be too, who once wisely noted “It is quite impossible to stop the progress or language.”
12. Why is Webster mentioned at the beginning?
A. To honor his contribution to American English.
B. To compare his works with those of other writers.
C. To show his nationalist views on English spelling.
D. To provide a historical context for spelling reform.
13. Which of the following shows the reformers’ efforts?
A. Webster updated “theater” to “theatre”. B. Melville changed the spelling of his name.
C. Four ways of spelling a sound were invented. D. Words like “Gr8” and “pls” are widely used.
14. What is Henry’s attitude towards the spelling reform?
A. Objective. B. Subjective.
C. Critical. D. Dismissive.
15. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A book review. B. A history text.
C. A cultural magazine. D. A research report.

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。
My two best friends were each doing something exciting — Carlos was at the beach rescuing sea turtles, and Natalia was with her mother, a famous designer working for a celebrity in a big city. But for me, things were quite the opposite.
I complained to Mom over the phone about the extreme boredom during the first week of my summer stay on my grandparents’ farm. She said, “Don’t envy others! Just dive into the experience and taste true joy. Not everyone gets the opportunity to live on a farm.”
Her words gave me an idea, so I decided I would compose my social media status updates on the farm. Then, my post hit the feed the next morning:
Alyssa’s Status: 5:54 A.M. The rooster (公鸡) is standing tall on his post, wings shining in the dawn light. He beats his wings, lifts his head high, and declares the start of a brand new day.
Carlos posted at 7:39 A.M., saying he was searching for sea turtle nests on the beach and hoping to find one. Natalia posted at 11:19 A.M., asking which color to paint a rock star’s house. They got 26 and 28 likes respectively. To my great joy, my post got almost the same amount of attention as theirs. Satisfying!
Just as I was about to comment on their posts, Grandma interrupted me, “Alyssa, put your shoes on. We’re off to Haverford’s farm to pick blackberries.” Later that afternoon, I posted about the unexpected fun and described in vivid detail about the fantastic flavors of blackberry pies.
Responses? Carlos said he wished he could taste one while Natalia was envious of my farm adventure. Interesting!
After breakfast the following morning, Grandma said, “I was just thinking that today might be a good day for you to explore the old barn (谷仓). I’ve spotted foxes nearby — maybe you’ll find some adorable baby foxes there.
“That would have potential for a worthy photo to post online,” I thought to myself. Perfect! With curiosity, I approached the old barn, and pushed the door open.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Suddenly, a weak sound was heard from a corner of the barn.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As I was waiting for the comments, something within me started to change.

The afternoon air was thick and warm, and by the time my dad and I reached the bay, which we called a swimming palace, my clothes were damp and itchy (痒) on my skin. Dad dived into a splash, heading out toward the edge of our narrow bay. Overwhelmed, suddenly, and with envy, I did what I hadn’t done in years: I held my breath and pulled my own head underwater.
There, suspended beneath the glimmering surface, I remembered it all — my love of diving, swimming, rivers and lakes. I knew what it was like again: to be free and fully present in my own skin.
Though I’ve always loved the water, I had spent seven years prior to that day staying away from moments like this one. I was afraid. Struggling for a long time with unhelpful treatments, and the pressures of teenage girls’ appearance, I had become entirely reliant on my makeup. I needed total control over how I looked, and going swimming meant washing this control away. My bare face and natural appearance were not something I identified with. I hated it, deeply, though I wished more than anything that I didn’t.
But those 10 minutes of contentment I floated within were fuel for the next chapter of my life. Suddenly it didn’t matter how I did it. Whether through medication or mental attitude, I would find a way to have the kind of life that allowed me to dive into the water.
That day was the beginning of a slow but determined journey back to my own body — a slow unearthing of my deep self-consciousness. Life didn’t change in a heartbeat: I returned to the shore with all the same fears, but I clothed myself in a new determination to change things. I felt the tide turn.
Reflecting on this moment again today, it seems strange to think that going bare-faced on an empty beach was such a challenge. But this is exactly the perspective I had once dreamed of reaching. I do my best never to take for granted this freedom I have found. I will sink under the surface of the water, embracing that swell of fear and joy and liberation.
4. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A. My father’s action inspired me. B. I once suffered from memory loss.
C. My envy prevented me from diving. D. The bay was where I learned swimming.
5. The author avoided swimming for seven years because of ______ .
A. pressure from independence B. treatment for mental illness
C. inconvenience of making up D. insecurity about appearance
6 How did the author feel after she returned from the diving?

C. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. D. Nothing is difficult to a willing heart.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7. B

【导语】这篇文章是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者在一次与父亲去海湾游泳的经历中,重新找回了对水的热爱,并开始努力克服对外貌的过度关注,重新接受自己。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Dad dived into a splash, heading out toward the edge of our narrow bay. Overwhelmed, suddenly, and with envy, I did what I hadn’t done in years: I held my breath and pulled my own head underwater. (爸爸跳进水中,溅起一片水花,向我们狭窄海湾的边缘游去。突然间,我被一种强烈的羡慕感所淹没,我做了多年来从未做过的事情:我屏住呼吸,把头埋进了水里)”可知,父亲跳进水里游泳,这让作者很羡慕,于是作者也做了自己多年没做过的事,把头埋进了水里,可得出作者的父亲的行为激发了她,故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“I was afraid. Struggling for a long time with unhelpful treatments, and the pressures of teenage girls’ appearance, I had become entirely reliant on my makeup. I needed total control over how I looked, and going swimming meant washing this control away. (我害怕。长期以来,我一直在与无用的治疗和青少年女孩对外貌的压力作斗争,我变得完全依赖于我的化妆品。我需要完全控制我的外貌,而游泳意味着会冲走这种控制)”可知,作者避免游泳是因为她对自己的外貌缺乏安全感,怕游泳毁掉妆容,故选D项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“I returned to the shore with all the same fears, but I clothed myself in a new determination to change things. I felt the tide turn. (我带着所有同样的恐惧回到了岸上,但我穿上了改变事情的新决心。我感觉到潮水转向了)”可知,作者带着同样的恐惧回到岸边,但是作者下定决心要改变,所以作者虽然仍然害怕,但变得更加坚定,故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I will sink under the surface of the water, embracing that swell of fear and joy and liberation. (我会沉入水下,拥抱那种恐惧、快乐和解放的浪潮)”可知,作者重新找回了对水的热爱,并开始努力克服对外貌的过度关注,重新接受自己,她想要传达的信息是自我接受是最大的礼物,故选B项。
C
For much of history, the practice of art was mysterious, and artists were viewed as being somewhat odd and often mad. Even the word most commonly associated with artists — inspiration — has its own magical qualities. Literally, the word “inspiration” means the breathing-in of a spirit. Artists were thought of as people who were uniquely inspired to create.
Many artists credited their talents to the presence of some supernatural power. The Romantic poets believed that art was a term that meant an ultimate expression of beauty and truth. The search for this ideal led them to explore both natural and supernatural themes in their works.
Another persistent view of art regarded its divorce from logic. Reason and logic were the province of scientists and philosophers, whereas creativity and insight were the area of the artists. The two separate aspects of the mind were supposed to remain distinct.
But in 1704, a major breakthrough occurred. Sir Isaac Newton, mathematician and physicist, published his study of light, Opticks. One of Newton’s major discoveries was on the nature of color. Using a prism (棱镜), Newton provided a scientific explanation for the presence of rainbows. The artistic community was shocked. A scientist had ventured into their sacred territory.
More than a hundred years later, John Keats, one of the most famous Romantic poets, accused Newton of reducing beauty by “unweaving the rainbow”. His colleague, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, famously remarked that the souls of five hundred Newtons would be needed to make one Shakespeare. And yet, from another perspective, Newton did not reduce the beauty of the rainbow; he enhanced it. In his search to uncover the secrets of the rainbow, Newton demonstrated the wonder, creativity, and inspiration of an artist. His discovery also paved the way for the development of spectroscopy, a way of analyzing the chemical makeup of light. Now scientists can look at the stars and know their composition. The sense of wonder this ability creates is not much different from the wonder the poet or artist feels when staring at those same stars.
8. According to the passage, what was the common view of artists in history?
A. Their works focused on the supernatural. B. Their unique abilities came from within.
C. They possessed both logic and magic. D. They were strange but indeed gifted.
9. How did the Romantic poets react to Newton’s discovery about light and color?
A. They credited Newton’s insights to mystical influences.
B. They felt it faded the poetic beauty of natural phenomena.
C. They were inspired to integrate more scientific themes in their poetry.
D. They believed it added a new dimension to the appreciation of beauty.
10. Why does the author mention John Keats’ and Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s views on Newton?
A. To contrast their criticism with science’s artistic value.
B. To highlight the effect of scientific breakthroughs on art.
C. To show Romantic poets’ objection to scientific progress.
D. To emphasize the superior creativity of poets over scientists.
11. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Distinguishing Art from Science B. Isaac Newton’s Influence on Arts
C. Shared Wonder of Art and Science D. The Artistic Interpretation of Science
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了历史上艺术实践很神秘,艺术被认为与逻辑分离。但随着科学的进步,现在科学家对星星的研究也能带来和诗人、艺术家看到星星时类似的惊奇感,表明艺术和科学存在共同的惊奇之处 。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“For much of history, the practice of art was mysterious, and artists were viewed as being somewhat odd and often mad. Even the word most commonly associated with artists — inspiration — has its own magical qualities. Literally, the word “inspiration” means the breathing-in of a spirit. Artists were thought of as people who were uniquely inspired to create.(在历史上的大部分时间里,艺术实践都是神秘的,艺术家们被视为有些奇怪,往往是疯狂的。即使是最常与艺术家联系在一起的词——灵感——也有它自己神奇的特质。从字面上看,“灵感”这个词的意思是灵魂的吸入。艺术家被认为是具有独特创作灵感的人)”可知,历史上对艺术家的普遍看法是他们很奇怪,但确实很有天赋。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“More than a hundred years later, John Keats, one of the most famous Romantic poets, accused Newton of reducing beauty by “unweaving the rainbow”.(100多年后,最著名的浪漫主义诗人之一约翰·济慈指责牛顿“拆散彩虹”,降低了美)”可知,浪漫主义诗人认为牛顿关于光和颜色的发现淡化了自然现象的诗意之美。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“More than a hundred years later, John Keats, one of the most famous Romantic poets, accused Newton of reducing beauty by “unweaving the rainbow”. His colleague, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, famously remarked that the souls of five hundred Newtons would be needed to make one Shakespeare. And yet, from another perspective, Newton did not reduce the beauty of the rainbow; he enhanced it. In his search to uncover the secrets of the rainbow, Newton demonstrated the wonder, creativity, and inspiration of an artist. His discovery also paved the way for the development of spectroscopy, a way of analyzing the chemical makeup of light.(100多年后,最著名的浪漫主义诗人之一约翰·济慈指责牛顿“拆散彩虹”,降低了美。他的同事塞缪尔·泰勒·柯勒律治有一句名言:需要500个牛顿的灵魂才能产生一个莎士比亚。然而,从另一个角度来看,牛顿并没有减少彩虹的美丽;他加强了它。在探索彩虹的秘密过程中,牛顿展示了艺术家的奇迹、创造力和灵感。他的发现也为光谱学的发展铺平了道路,光谱学是一种分析光的化学组成的方法)”可推知,作者提到约翰济慈和塞缪尔泰勒柯勒律治对牛顿的看法是为了将他们的批评与科学的艺术价值进行对比。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The sense of wonder this ability creates is not much different from the wonder the poet or artist feels when staring at those same stars.(这种能力所产生的惊奇感与诗人或艺术家凝视同样的星星时所感受到的惊奇感并无太大区别)”可知,文章主要说明了历史上艺术实践很神秘,艺术被认为与逻辑分离。但随着科学的进步,现在科学家对星星的研究也能带来和诗人、艺术家看到星星时类似的惊奇感,表明艺术和科学存在共同的惊奇之处 。由此可知,C选项“艺术与科学的共同奇迹”适合作本文最佳标题。故选C。
D
Long before Webster completed his 1828 masterpiece, An American Dictionary of the English Language, he published A Grammatical Institute of the English Language, which matched traditional English orthography (拼写法), with, for instance, entries for “theatre” and “publick”. After that, however, Webster became committed to an American dialect that would be distinct from British English. He featured updated spellings of a number of words, including “theater” and “public”.
As Gab e Henry notes in Enough Is Enuf, a history of the largely fruitless efforts to reform English spelling, Webster wasn’t motivated by nationalism alone. He had also become an advocate of comprehensive changes to written English, mourning its “irregular” orthography. Mr. Henry begins his smart, lighthearted account of the simplified spelling movement by identifying the “heart of our problem” that “English has 44 sounds but only 26letters” and that each sound has, “on average, four ways of spelling it”. Over the centuries, reformers have proposed solutions—including adding new letters to the alphabet and removing existing letters from the alphabet—all in vain.
It’s fitting that Henry, our guide through this history, is a humorist. For one thing, simplified spelling looks funny, a fact that 19th-century writers such as Josh Billings, skillfully employed. “I owe my suksess in life to midevoshun to spelyng,” Billings once wrote. Enough Is Enuf also finds humor in how deadly serious some notable figures were about spelling reform, Melvil Dewey, the creator of the Dewey System, was born “Melville,” but his commitment to spelling reform started with his own name.
The final section of Enough Is Enuf brings simplified spelling into the current age, covering advertising, digital technology and even the pop songwriting of Prince. Of course, texting and social media have simplified the way we communicate, satisfying the remaining die-hard spelling reformers even as traditionalists mourn the rise of “GR8,” “pls,” and the like. Mr. Henry, for his part, is untroubled by text-speak, and he argues that Webster would be too, who once wisely noted “It is quite impossible to stop the progress or language.”
12. Why is Webster mentioned at the beginning?
A. To honor his contribution to American English.
B. To compare his works with those of other writers.
C. To show his nationalist views on English spelling.
D. To provide a historical context for spelling reform.
13. Which of the following shows the reformers’ efforts?
A. Webster updated “theater” to “theatre”. B. Melville changed the spelling of his name.
C. Four ways of spelling a sound were invented. D. Words like “Gr8” and “pls” are widely used.
14. What is Henry’s attitude towards the spelling reform?
A. Objective. B. Subjective.
C. Critical. D. Dismissive.
15. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A book review. B. A history text.
C. A cultural magazine. D. A research report.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英语拼写改革的历史及现状。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“After that, however, Webster became committed to an American dialect that would be distinct from British English. He featured updated spellings of a number of words, including “theater” and “public”. (然而在此之后,Webster开始致力于发展一种有别于英式英语的美式方言。他推出了一些单词的更新拼写方式,其中包括“theater”和“public”)”及第二段“As Gabe Henry notes in Enough Is Enuf, a history of the largely fruitless efforts to reform English spelling, Webster wasn’t motivated by nationalism alone. He had also become an advocate of comprehensive changes to written English, mourning its “irregular” orthography. (正如Gabe Henry在其著作《够了就足够了》中所指出的那样,这本讲述英语拼写改革大多徒劳无功的历史书中提到,Webster的动机不仅仅是出于民族主义情感。他还成为了对书面英语进行全面改革的倡导者,为英语拼写的“不规则性”感到惋惜)”可知,文章开头提到韦伯斯特是为了引出拼写改革的历史背景,展示他如何从传统拼写走向美国化拼写改革,为后文讨论拼写改革运动做铺垫。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Enough Is Enuf also finds humor in how deadly serious some notable figures were about spelling reform, Melvil Dewey, the creator of the Dewey System, was born “Melville,” but his commitment to spelling reform started with his own name. (《够了就足够了》也从那些对拼写改革极其严肃对待的人物身上找到了幽默感。比如杜威分类法的创造者Melvil Dewey,他原名是“Melville”,但他对拼写改革的执着就是从更改自己的名字开始的)”可知,Melville通过改自己的名字实践拼写改革。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Mr. Henry, for his part, is untroubled by text-speak, and he argues that Webster would be too, who once wisely noted “It is quite impossible to stop the progress or language.” (至于Mr. Henry本人,他对这种“网络用语”并不担忧,他认为Webster也会持同样的态度。Webster曾经明智地指出:“语言的进步是无法阻挡的。”)”可知,他客观看待改革的自然进程,既不批判也不否定。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其根据第二段“As Gabe Henry notes in Enough Is Enuf, a history of the largely fruitless efforts to reform English spelling, Webster wasn’t motivated by nationalism alone. He had also become an advocate of comprehensive changes to written English, mourning its “irregular” orthography. (正如Gabe Henry在其著作《够了就足够了》中所指出的那样,这本讲述英语拼写改革大多徒劳无功的历史书中提到,Webster的动机不仅仅是出于民族主义情感。他还成为了对书面英语进行全面改革的倡导者,为英语拼写的“不规则性”感到惋惜)”及第三段“Enough Is Enuf also finds humor in how deadly serious some notable figures were about spelling reform, Melvil Dewey, the creator of the Dewey System, was born “Melville,” but his commitment to spelling reform started with his own name. (《够了就足够了》也从那些对拼写改革极其严肃对待的人物身上找到了幽默感。比如杜威分类法的创造者Melvil Dewey,他原名是“Melville”,但他对拼写改革的执着就是从更改自己的名字开始的)”可知,全文围绕拼写改革的历史、人物及现状展开,语言通俗且带有评论性,符合书评的特点。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲述的是四川省南充博物馆中的一件文物——一个因外形与动画角色奥特曼相似而被称为“迷你奥特曼”的小型人形陶俑,最近成为了网络热议的话题。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:网上发布的一段视频显示了一个像人一样的小陶俑,因其外观被称为“迷你奥特曼”。句中谓语是shows,空格处用非谓语动词,figure和refer之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此用过去分词表被动,作后置定语,故填referred。
【37题详解】
考查时态,被动语态和主谓一致。句意:这个人物有一个尖的头,大眼睛,手臂微微抬起。句子描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时,手臂是被抬起,因此空格处用一般现在时的被动语态,主语arms是复数,因此空格处是are raised。故填are raised。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:奇怪的是,这个陶制人物与动画人物奥特曼如此相似,这是非常罕见的。remarkable是形容词,修饰名词,similar的名词是similarity,意为“相似之处”,空前有a,空格处用单数,故填similarity。
【39题详解】
考查时态。句意:自从这段视频在网上疯传以来,许多游客都涌向博物馆,只是为了看一看这个特殊的人物。since引导的从句时态用一般过去时,空格处是过去式went。故填went。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:博物馆的一名工作人员告诉记者,他们经常收到游客关于这尊雕像的询问。此处表示询问是来自游客,空格处用from表示“来自”,故填from。
【41题详解】
考查代词。句意:另一名成员指出,“实际上,我们发现它的头部与奥特曼特别相似。”空格处用that指代前面的head,表示“它的头部与奥特曼的头部特别相似”,故填that。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这个陶俑的意外走红营造了一种氛围,使得传统文化与现代流行文化的融合成为了人们谈论的焦点,为博物馆注入了新的活力,也激发了人们更加富有想象力的思维方式。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句,从句中不缺主语或宾语,先行词atmosphere是抽象地点,因此用关系副词where引导定语从句,故填where。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这个陶俑的意外走红营造了一种氛围,使得传统文化与现代流行文化的融合成为了人们谈论的焦点,为博物馆注入了新的活力,也激发了人们更加富有想象力的思维方式。句中谓语是has created,空格处用非谓语动词,This unexpected popularity of it和breathe之间是主谓关系,因此用现在分词表主动,作状语,故填breathing。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:这一事件被公众视为传统文化与当代社会之间的桥梁,引起了广泛的兴趣。空格处用副词publicly修饰动词counted,publicly意为“公开地,公然地”,故填publicly。
【45题详解】
考查不定式。句意:至于博物馆,他们希望这能成为一个机会,让更多的人了解文物背后的深厚历史。opportunity是机会,空格处用不定式作后置定语,故填to let。

【答案】One possible version:
Dear TV Station Team,
I’m Li Hua. As a senior grappling with deadlines and exams, I wholeheartedly support the documentary idea. I believe it will immortalize our collective struggles, laughter, and growth during this pivotal year. Such a film not only serves as a precious graduation gift but also inspires younger students by showcasing the resilience of our generation. These moments deserve to be preserved, allowing us to reflect on our journey while motivating others.
To make the documentary more engaging, I suggest including diverse perspectives. Classrooms could capture intense study sessions, while interviews with teachers would highlight their unwavering support. Footage of late-night study groups and sports meeting would add authenticity. Moreover, ending with a heartfelt message from each graduating class member would strengthen the film’s unifying power. This would transform the documentary into a time capsule, cherished by all.
May this film turn fleeting moments into eternal sparks.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

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。
My two best friends were each doing something exciting — Carlos was at the beach rescuing sea turtles, and Natalia was with her mother, a famous designer working for a celebrity in a big city. But for me, things were quite the opposite.
I complained to Mom over the phone about the extreme boredom during the first week of my summer stay on my grandparents’ farm. She said, “Don’t envy others! Just dive into the experience and taste true joy. Not everyone gets the opportunity to live on a farm.”
Her words gave me an idea, so I decided I would compose my social media status updates on the farm. Then, my post hit the feed the next morning:
Alyssa’s Status: 5:54 A.M. The rooster (公鸡) is standing tall on his post, wings shining in the dawn light. He beats his wings, lifts his head high, and declares the start of a brand new day.
Carlos posted at 7:39 A.M., saying he was searching for sea turtle nests on the beach and hoping to find one. Natalia posted at 11:19 A.M., asking which color to paint a rock star’s house. They got 26 and 28 likes respectively. To my great joy, my post got almost the same amount of attention as theirs. Satisfying!
Just as I was about to comment on their posts, Grandma interrupted me, “Alyssa, put your shoes on. We’re off to Haverford’s farm to pick blackberries.” Later that afternoon, I posted about the unexpected fun and described in vivid detail about the fantastic flavors of blackberry pies.
Responses? Carlos said he wished he could taste one while Natalia was envious of my farm adventure. Interesting!
After breakfast the following morning, Grandma said, “I was just thinking that today might be a good day for you to explore the old barn (谷仓). I’ve spotted foxes nearby — maybe you’ll find some adorable baby foxes there.
“That would have potential for a worthy photo to post online,” I thought to myself. Perfect! With curiosity, I approached the old barn, and pushed the door open.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Suddenly, a weak sound was heard from a corner of the barn.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As I was waiting for the comments, something within me started to change.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Suddenly, a weak sound was heard from a corner of the barn. It was dark inside. I gathered myself and went toward the sound with great care. As I flicked on my phone’s flashlight and saw what was in one of the stalls, I let out a high-pitched squeal — baby foxes! They were crawling out of a hole and then tumbling back down. Adorable! Barely could I contain my thrill and excitement at my first encounter with these wild creatures. Knowing that everyone adored animals, I snapped a hundred photos and quickly updated my post. This time, I knew I’d make everyone jealous, including, of course, my two best friends.
As I was waiting for the comments, something within me started to change. Likes did pour in as anticipated, alongside Carlos and Natalia’s warm words. Yet, the thrill of likes faded as my thoughts wandered to the cute baby foxes’ awkward leaps — no filter could frame this joy. Piece by piece, the farm’s simple wonders surfaced: the unforgettable dawn scene, the fantastic flavors of blackberry pies, the dusty barn, and wild magic, etc., and all these kept me spellbound. Mom was right: true joy wasn’t in crafting envy-worthy posts for likes but in these simple, precious moments spent with my beloved Grandpa on the magic farm.
