Harold Simmons never intended to become a neighborhood legend (传奇). At 73, he was just a retired worker with too much time and an empty backyard. What started as a simple garden railroad project quickly became something extraordinary.
It began with a single circular track and an old steam engine he’d rescued from a sale. Each day, he would add tiny details — a tiny general store, a little church and some handcrafted trees. The neighborhood children would sometimes look over the fence, their eyes wide with wonder.
One particularly curious 10-year-old named Maya started visiting regularly after school. Her working parents appreciated that Harold didn’t mind her watching him work. He’d explain each tiny detail. Word spread. Neighbors who had previously just waved politely stopped to admire Harold’s growing landscape. Children brought their parents. Retired workers shared stories about the real trains and towns the models represented.
When the local elementary school heard about Harold’s project, they asked if he’d be willing to host a field trip. Harold was surprised. Suddenly, classrooms of children were learning history, engineering, and creativity through his tiny railroad.
Maya convinced her uncle to create a website showing Harold’s railroad. It went popular locally and then regionally. People started sending him miniature (微型的) pieces like a tiny water tower from Wisconsin. Soon the railroad became a living history museum, a classroom, and a gathering place.
On weekends Harold would let children control the trains, their small hands carefully managing the controllers and their faces lit with pure joy. Some parents noticed their kids were learning patience, precision, and storytelling through this simple hobby.
By the time Harold turned 80, his backyard had become a community landmark. Local schools included visits into their curriculum (课程). retirement homes organized group trips. Artists and historians turned to him. The tiny tracks became something magical, showing how passion, creativity, and openness could build connections far bigger than anyone could imagine.
4. Why did Harold start building the garden railroad?
A. To kill his spare time. B. To host field trips.
C. To train local children. D. To become famous.
5. What was the neighbors’ attitude toward Harold’s project?
A. Critical. B. Negative. C. Appreciative. D. Uncertain.
6. Why did Harold’s project attract the local elementary school?
A. It included a new steam engine. B. It had an educative value.
C. It was praised on a website. D. It was a garden programme.
7. What lesson can we learn from the story?
A. One is never too old to learn.
B. Many hands make light work.
C. Education knows no boundaries.
D. Small things make a big difference.
C
Labubu dolls are in short supply. Even at the stores of their maker, Pop Mart, in Shanghai, customers are told that they need to wait a week or longer. It is not just Chinese children trying to get their hands on them. Celebrities including Sir David Beckham, an ex-footballer, and Bieber, a pop star, have gone public with their appreciation.
“Labubu dolls are just one of the latest examples that show the fast growing popularity of Chinese products in China,” says Lina Yan, a banker. “Part of their success has come from targeting price-sensitive spenders with high-quality, ‘emotive’ products.”
Yet consumer downgrading is only part of the explanation for the craze for Chinese brands. In many cases, shoppers are paying just as much or more for local products. For instance, the best-selling products at Chagee, a tea chain, are tea lattes that sell for 15—20 yuan, a price as high as Starbucks’s similar products in China.
Chinese consumers are also now far less attracted to foreign goods simply because they are foreign. Laopu’s rapid rise is proof of that. The firm, which sells gold jewellery with a distinct Chinese style, has managed to keep its annual sales per store above 300 million yuan, at least 50% higher than most of its foreign competitors.
For decades, Chinese shoppers looked overseas for the latest trends in fashion, beauty products and more. Western brands once filled the gap simply because there were no real local alternatives. However, that doesn’t mean Chinese consumers naturally appreciate the design or cultural message of those Western brands. For example, rather than trying to appear Western, both Laopu and Chagee have highlighted their Chineseness and it has worked.
This points to another shift in spending habits in China: Shoppers are better informed about products today than they used to be, mainly thanks to social media. Many feel that they have been fleeced by foreign companies that were able to sell at high prices purely by not being Chinese.
8. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?
A. The popularity of Labubu dolls. B. Slow delivery of Labubu dolls.
C. The added value of Labubu dolls. D. Celebrities’ love of Labubu dolls.
9. What does Lina Yan mean?
A. Chinese brands can offer more “emotive” value.
B. Chinese products are usually sold at lower prices.
C. Chinese youngsters can make better-informed decisions.
D. Chinese shoppers can afford to buy costly high-quality goods.
10. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “fleeced” in the last paragraph?
A. Looked up to. B. Educated. C. Taken advantage of. D. Ruined.
11. Which factor is most unlikely to explain the Chinese brands’ success in China?
A Its low price. B. Its high quality. C. Its short supply. D. Its foreignness.
D
In Costa Rica, even small areas of tree cover can reduce the presence of invasive (入侵的) mosquito species known to spread diseases like dengue fever (登革热), according to a Stanford University-led study published on May 28th in Landscape Ecology. The findings can inform land use decisions and tree preservation strategies in rural areas, according to the researchers.
Using field observations and satellite data on land cover for an area of forests, farms, and residential areas in southern Costa Rica, the researchers found the presence of the Aedes albopictus mosquito, a dengue vector (媒介), decreased in areas with more tree cover while the total number of mosquito species increased. More species demand more space and resources, making it harder for an invasive species to find unoccupied space or resources.
Costa Rica has numerous mosquito-borne diseases and two invasive mosquito species serving as vectors. The forests surveyed in the study hosted a high diversity of mosquito species, none of which were the dengue vector Aedes albopictus. Residential areas, by contrast, had much fewer mosquito species and were far more likely to hold the invasive, disease-spreading species. Agricultural areas fell somewhere in between, with outcomes seemingly tied to the intensity and type of land use.
Natural habitats exist alongside agriculture and development in rural areas. In Costa Rica and beyond, these areas can provide pathways to conserving biodiversity. The study shows that protecting trees can help conserve biodiversity while also reducing the likelihood of disease spread. That’s good news in the face of warmer temperatures, changes in rainfall, and human activity that are enabling the spread of mosquito-borne illnesses to new places.
The researchers emphasize the need to do more research to understand how other vector species react to increased tree cover. “We need to know more about what drives dengue in rural areas,” said study senior author Erin Mordecai, associate professor of biology in Stanford University. “This work shows forests and tree cover can reduce risk, but identifying other land use types that sustain vector populations is the next frontier for controlling this rapidly expanding disease.”
12. How does increased tree cover prevent invasive mosquitoes?
A. By reducing dengue vectors.
B. By increasing species competition.
C. By upgrading human habitats.
D. By ensuring agricultural outputs.
13 What can be known about residential areas?
A. They have lower mosquito diversity.
B. Their land use is more intensive.
C. Their living conditions are poor.
D. They host fewer disease risks.
14. What is the significance of the study?
A. It helps agricultural development.
B. It solves the problem of disease spread.
C. It offers a potential win-win strategy.
D. It leads to the study of climate patterns.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Mosquito-borne Disease Risks Increase
B. Protecting Trees Improves Life Quality
C. Disease-spreading Species Are Coming
D. Tree Cover Limits Invasive Mosquitoes
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There you were, sitting in a classroom, practicing writing letters and words. Maybe you were printing (手写印剧字体) them, or maybe you were learning cursive (草体). At some point, you probably asked yourself, “Why do I need to know how to write when all 1 need is to press the keys on a computer?” ___16___ It also helps you remember the information that you write down.
___17___ Actually, beginner printing is usually very messy, and sometimes we cannot even tell what the letters are. Also, the shape of each letter can change each time a child tries to write it. But remember that every time a child sees a letter that looks a little different but still has the same name, it helps the child’s brain to learn that letter.
Research has also shown that if you wrote something by hand, you would remember it better than if you typed it on your computer! Why does this happen? ___18___ But speed may be the problem! When we type information, we tend to type exactly what the teacher is saying. Without thinking about it. Writing by hand takes longer, so we cannot record everything the teacher says. When writing, we tend to put things into our own words or summarize what the teacher says. ___19___
In summary, writing by hand can help you learn new things like letters, but it also allows you to remember information better than if you typed it. It does not matter how you write—printing, cursive, abbreviations (宿写).___20___ So, keep writing!
A. That makes things a lot easier.
B. It just matters that you write by hand.
C. Surely it is quicker to type during a lecture than to write, right?
D. What did your printing look like when you first started to write?
E. In a way, taking notes by hand is a way of studying while we are learning!
F. Well in short, writing by hand helps you learn a set of symbols more easily.
G. When people write letters, they actively see and feel the letters being written.

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。
“Someday I’m going to Ireland,” seven-year-old Carrie declared, her tiny finger pressing eagerly against the green fields shown in her book. Her blue eyes shone, as if she could already see the sheep eating grass and feel the fresh air on her face. Even at that young age, there was a quiet determination in her voice that made me nod in agreement — this wasn’t just a passing dream.
She’d always been that way: never complaining, and always ready to shoulder responsibility. After my husband lost his job, I took on odd jobs just to collect enough money for groceries and rent. Carrie, without being asked, joined in — cleaning floors after school, fixing clothes on weekends, and even preparing our lunches each morning so I could have one less thing to worry about.
As money grew tighter and bills continued to pile up, Carrie’s resolve only strengthened. When she wrote an essay in fourth grade titled “My Biggest Wish” and penned “Visit Ireland” at the top, I saw that same strong spirit in her words — the kind that refused to give up, no matter how tough the circumstances.
High school brought the opportunity she’d been eagerly awaiting. One afternoon, she flew through the door, backpack swinging wildly, and shouted, “Mama! The language class trip — we’re going to Ireland! Five days!” Her smile, however, weakened slightly. “But it’s $1,500.” Before I could say a word, she added firmly, “I can earn it. I will.” That’s when the apple pies became her mission.
She dug up the treasured recipe Grandma had given her. Starting small, she sold pies to neighbors after school. “One pie closer,” she’d whisper softly, wiping flour from her cheek as she stood over the stove (炉子), her homework spread out on the table beside her.
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。
Carrie worked tirelessly, her energy seemingly endless.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With a victorious smile, she quickly handed in the trip fee at school.

Harold Simmons never intended to become a neighborhood legend (传奇). At 73, he was just a retired worker with too much time and an empty backyard. What started as a simple garden railroad project quickly became something extraordinary.
It began with a single circular track and an old steam engine he’d rescued from a sale. Each day, he would add tiny details — a tiny general store, a little church and some handcrafted trees. The neighborhood children would sometimes look over the fence, their eyes wide with wonder.
One particularly curious 10-year-old named Maya started visiting regularly after school. Her working parents appreciated that Harold didn’t mind her watching him work. He’d explain each tiny detail. Word spread. Neighbors who had previously just waved politely stopped to admire Harold’s growing landscape. Children brought their parents. Retired workers shared stories about the real trains and towns the models represented.
When the local elementary school heard about Harold’s project, they asked if he’d be willing to host a field trip. Harold was surprised. Suddenly, classrooms of children were learning history, engineering, and creativity through his tiny railroad.
Maya convinced her uncle to create a website showing Harold’s railroad. It went popular locally and then regionally. People started sending him miniature (微型的) pieces like a tiny water tower from Wisconsin. Soon the railroad became a living history museum, a classroom, and a gathering place.
On weekends, Harold would let children control the trains, their small hands carefully managing the controllers and their faces lit with pure joy. Some parents noticed their kids were learning patience, precision, and storytelling through this simple hobby.
By the time Harold turned 80, his backyard had become a community landmark. Local schools included visits into their curriculum (课程). retirement homes organized group trips. Artists and historians turned to him. The tiny tracks became something magical, showing how passion, creativity, and openness could build connections far bigger than anyone could imagine.
4. Why did Harold start building the garden railroad?
A. To kill his spare time. B. To host field trips.
C. To train local children. D. To become famous.
5. What was the neighbors’ attitude toward Harold’s project?
A. Critical. B. Negative. C. Appreciative. D. Uncertain.
6. Why did Harold’s project attract the local elementary school?
A. It included a new steam engine. B. It had an educative value.
C. It was praised on a website. D. It was a garden programme.
7. What lesson can we learn from the story?
A. One is never too old to learn.
B. Many hands make light work.
C. Education knows no boundaries.
D. Small things make a big difference.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D

Labubu dolls are in short supply. Even at the stores of their maker, Pop Mart, in Shanghai, customers are told that they need to wait a week or longer. It is not just Chinese children trying to get their hands on them. Celebrities including Sir David Beckham, an ex-footballer, and Bieber, a pop star, have gone public with their appreciation.
“Labubu dolls are just one of the latest examples that show the fast growing popularity of Chinese products in China,” says Lina Yan, a banker. “Part of their success has come from targeting price-sensitive spenders with high-quality, ‘emotive’ products.”
Yet consumer downgrading is only part of the explanation for the craze for Chinese brands. In many cases, shoppers are paying just as much or more for local products. For instance, the best-selling products at Chagee, a tea chain, are tea lattes that sell for 15—20 yuan, a price as high as Starbucks’s similar products in China.
Chinese consumers are also now far less attracted to foreign goods simply because they are foreign. Laopu’s rapid rise is proof of that. The firm, which sells gold jewellery with a distinct Chinese style, has managed to keep its annual sales per store above 300 million yuan, at least 50% higher than most of its foreign competitors.
For decades, Chinese shoppers looked overseas for the latest trends in fashion, beauty products and more. Western brands once filled the gap simply because there were no real local alternatives. However, that doesn’t mean Chinese consumers naturally appreciate the design or cultural message of those Western brands. For example, rather than trying to appear Western, both Laopu and Chagee have highlighted their Chineseness and it has worked.
This points to another shift in spending habits in China: Shoppers are better informed about products today than they used to be, mainly thanks to social media. Many feel that they have been fleeced by foreign companies that were able to sell at high prices purely by not being Chinese.
8. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?
A. The popularity of Labubu dolls. B. Slow delivery of Labubu dolls.
C. The added value of Labubu dolls. D. Celebrities’ love of Labubu dolls.
9. What does Lina Yan mean?
A. Chinese brands can offer more “emotive” value.
B. Chinese products are usually sold at lower prices.
C. Chinese youngsters can make better-informed decisions.
D. Chinese shoppers can afford to buy costly high-quality goods.
10. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “fleeced” in the last paragraph?
A. Looked up to. B. Educated. C. Taken advantage of. D. Ruined.
11. Which factor is most unlikely to explain the Chinese brands’ success in China?
A. Its low price. B. Its high quality. C. Its short supply. D. Its foreignness.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国本土品牌在中国市场越来越受欢迎的现象,并分析了其背后的原因。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Labubu dolls are in short supply. Even at the stores of their maker, Pop Mart, in Shanghai, customers are told that they need to wait a week or longer. It is not just Chinese children trying to get their hands on them. Celebrities including Sir David Beckham, an ex-footballer, and Bieber, a pop star, have gone public with their appreciation.(Labubu玩偶供不应求。即使在上海的制造商泡泡玛特的门店,顾客也被告知需要等待一周或更长时间。不仅仅是中国孩子想要得到它们。包括前足球运动员大卫·贝克汉姆爵士和流行歌星贾斯汀·比伯在内的名人都公开表示了他们的赞赏)”可知,第一段主要描述了Labubu玩偶的流行现象。故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中Lina Yan的话“Part of their success has come from targeting price-sensitive spenders with high-quality, ‘emotive’ products.(他们的部分成功源于以高品质、“情感化”的产品吸引了价格敏感的消费者)”可知,Lina Yan认为中国产品通常瞄准了对价格敏感的消费者,即通常以较低的价格出售。故选B项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“Shoppers are better informed about products today than they used to be, mainly thanks to social media. Many feel that they have been fleeced by foreign companies that were able to sell at high prices purely by not being Chinese.(如今的购物者比过去更了解产品,这主要归功于社交媒体。许多人觉得他们被外国公司fleeced了,这些公司仅仅因为不是中国公司就能以高价销售产品)”可知,外国公司仅仅因为自己不是中国公司就能以高价销售产品,而社交媒体让购物者了解了真相,所以他们觉得被外国公司利用了。划线词fleeced意为“利用,欺骗”,可用C项“Taken advantage of”替换。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Chinese consumers are also now far less attracted to foreign goods simply because they are foreign.(如今,中国消费者不再仅仅因为商品是外国品牌而盲目追捧)”可知,文章明确中国消费者不再仅仅因为商品是外国品牌而盲目追捧,即外来性(foreignness)不能解释中国品牌在中国的成功。故选D项。

In Costa Rica, even small areas of tree cover can reduce the presence of invasive (入侵的) mosquito species known to spread diseases like dengue fever (登革热), according to a Stanford University-led study published on May 28th in Landscape Ecology. The findings can inform land use decisions and tree preservation strategies in rural areas, according to the researchers.
Using field observations and satellite data on land cover for an area of forests, farms, and residential areas in southern Costa Rica, the researchers found the presence of the Aedes albopictus mosquito, a dengue vector (媒介), decreased in areas with more tree cover while the total number of mosquito species increased. More species demand more space and resources, making it harder for an invasive species to find unoccupied space or resources.
Costa Rica has numerous mosquito-borne diseases and two invasive mosquito species serving as vectors. The forests surveyed in the study hosted a high diversity of mosquito species, none of which were the dengue vector Aedes albopictus. Residential areas, by contrast, had much fewer mosquito species and were far more likely to hold the invasive, disease-spreading species. Agricultural areas fell somewhere in between, with outcomes seemingly tied to the intensity and type of land use.
Natural habitats exist alongside agriculture and development in rural areas. In Costa Rica and beyond, these areas can provide pathways to conserving biodiversity. The study shows that protecting trees can help conserve biodiversity while also reducing the likelihood of disease spread. That’s good news in the face of warmer temperatures, changes in rainfall, and human activity that are enabling the spread of mosquito-borne illnesses to new places.
The researchers emphasize the need to do more research to understand how other vector species react to increased tree cover. “We need to know more about what drives dengue in rural areas,” said study senior author Erin Mordecai, associate professor of biology in Stanford University. “This work shows forests and tree cover can reduce risk, but identifying other land use types that sustain vector populations is the next frontier for controlling this rapidly expanding disease.”
12. How does increased tree cover prevent invasive mosquitoes?
A. By reducing dengue vectors.
B. By increasing species competition.
C. By upgrading human habitats.
D. By ensuring agricultural outputs.
13. What can be known about residential areas?
A. They have lower mosquito diversity.
B. Their land use is more intensive.
C. Their living conditions are poor.
D. They host fewer disease risks.
14. What is the significance of the study?
A. It helps agricultural development.
B. It solves the problem of disease spread.
C. It offers a potential win-win strategy.
D. It leads to the study of climate patterns.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Mosquito-borne Disease Risks Increase
B. Protecting Trees Improves Life Quality
C. Disease-spreading Species Are Coming
D. Tree Cover Limits Invasive Mosquitoes
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要讲述了一项由斯坦福大学领导的研究,该研究发现即使在哥斯达黎加,小面积的树木覆盖也能减少传播登革热等疾病的入侵性蚊子物种的存在。研究结果可以为农村地区的土地利用决策和树木保护策略提供信息。文章还阐述了树木覆盖如何防止入侵蚊子,住宅区蚊子物种的情况,以及这项研究的重要意义。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“the researchers found the presence of the Aedes albopictus mosquito, a dengue vector (媒介), decreased in areas with more tree cover while the total number of mosquito species increased. More species demand more space and resources, making it harder for an invasive species to find unoccupied space or resources(研究人员发现,在树木覆盖较多的地区,作为登革热媒介的亚洲虎蚊的数量减少,而蚊子物种的总数增加。更多的物种需要更多的空间和资源,这使得入侵物种更难找到未被占用的空间或资源)”可知,增加的树木覆盖通过增加物种竞争来阻止入侵蚊子,因为更多的物种会争夺空间和资源,让入侵物种更难生存。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Residential areas, by contrast, had much fewer mosquito species and were far more likely to hold the invasive, disease-spreading species(相比之下,住宅区蚊子物种要少得多,而且更有可能存在入侵性的、传播疾病的物种)”可知,住宅区的蚊子物种多样性较低。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“The study shows that protecting trees can help conserve biodiversity while also reducing the likelihood of disease spread(研究表明,保护树木有助于保护生物多样性,同时也能降低疾病传播的可能性)”以及第五段中“This work shows forests and tree cover can reduce risk, but identifying other land use types that sustain vector populations is the next frontier for controlling this rapidly expanding disease(这项工作表明,森林和树木覆盖可以降低风险,但确定其他维持媒介种群的土地利用类型是控制这种迅速扩散的疾病的下一个前沿领域)”可知,这项研究既保护了生物多样性,又降低了疾病传播的风险,可推理出这项研究提供了一个潜在的共赢策略,故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并根据第一段中“In Costa Rica, even small areas of tree cover can reduce the presence of invasive (入侵的) mosquito species known to spread diseases like dengue fever (登革热), according to a Stanford University - led study published on May 28th in Landscape Ecology(根据斯坦福大学领导的一项研究,5月28日发表在《景观生态学》杂志上,在哥斯达黎加,即使是小面积的树木覆盖也能减少已知会传播登革热等疾病的入侵性蚊子物种的存在)”可知,文章主要围绕树木覆盖对入侵蚊子的限制作用展开,所以D项“Tree Cover Limits Invasive Mosquitoes(树木覆盖限制入侵蚊子)”适合作为文章标题。故选D项。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There you were sitting in a classroom, practicing writing letters and words. Maybe you were printing (手写印剧字体) them, or maybe you were learning cursive (草体). At some point, you probably asked yourself, “Why do I need to know how to write when all 1 need is to press the keys on a computer?” ___16___ It also helps you remember the information that you write down.
___17___ Actually, beginner printing is usually very messy, and sometimes we cannot even tell what the letters are. Also, the shape of each letter can change each time a child tries to write it. But remember that every time a child sees a letter that looks a little different but still has the same name, it helps the child’s brain to learn that letter.
Research has also shown that if you wrote something by hand, you would remember it better than if you typed it on your computer! Why does this happen? ___18___ But speed may be the problem! When we type information, we tend to type exactly what the teacher is saying. Without thinking about it. Writing by hand takes longer, so we cannot record everything the teacher says. When writing, we tend to put things into our own words or summarize what the teacher says. ___19___
In summary, writing by hand can help you learn new things like letters, but it also allows you to remember information better than if you typed it. It does not matter how you write—printing, cursive, abbreviations (宿写).___20___ So, keep writing!
A. That makes things a lot easier.
B. It just matters that you write by hand.
C. Surely it is quicker to type during a lecture than to write, right?
D. What did your printing look like when you first started to write?
E. In a way, taking notes by hand is a way of studying while we are learning!
F. Well, in short, writing by hand helps you learn a set of symbols more easily.
G. When people write letters, they actively see and feel the letters being written.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了来自丹麦的Lars Ulrik Thom怀揣着对中国历史的热爱选择留在北京创办“北京卡片”店铺的故事。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:游览北京市中心的前门大街,可能会带你走进大栅栏地区杨梅竹斜街的一家小店,大栅栏是著名的古代商业区,如今是主要旅游景点。分析句子结构可知,该空引导的是一个限制性定语从句,从句缺少主语,先行词是a famous ancient commercial zone,用关系代词that或which引导。故填that/which。
【37题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:由丹麦人拉斯·乌尔里克·托姆创办的“北京卡片”出售带有历史元素的文化创意产品。element是可数名词,意为“元素”,此处指多种元素,故用所给名词的复数形式。故填elements。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:作为北京历史的展示空间,这家店已成为一个交流场所,将居民、游客与老北京的记忆联系起来。分析句子成分可知,动词connect与其逻辑主语a communication space之间存在主谓关系,故此处用所给动词的现在分词;connecting residents and tourists with the memory of old Beijing是现在分词短语作后置定语。故填connecting。
【39题详解】
考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:1996年托姆首次抵达北京时,他被眼前所见吸引。attract在句中作谓语,根据从句的谓语动词arrived可知,此句描述过去的事情,用一般过去时,又因为主语Thom与attract之间是被动关系,且空后有被动语态标志词by,此句谓语用一般现在时被动语态,主语为第三人称单数,故填was attracted。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:托姆起初选择从景点、博物馆等公共场所收集信息,并深入胡同,从当地人那里获取口述历史。choose to do sth“选择做某事”,此处用所给动词的不定式作动词chose的宾语。故填to collect。
【41题详解】
考查名词性从句。句意:居民们从老照片中回忆日常生活,这帮助托姆理解历史变迁如何影响人们的日常生活。分析句子结构可知,该空引导的是一个宾语从句,根据句意“理解历史是如何改变人们的日常生活的”可知,从句中缺少方式状语,此处用连接副词how“如何,怎样”。故填how。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:为了以一种新的形式向更多人介绍北京的历史,托姆与友人创办“北京卡片”,售卖根据老照片、老地图制作的明信片、日历和拼图。此处表示“一种新的形式”,为泛指,且new以辅音音素开头,故此处用不定冠词a。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:此外,他组织主题活动,分享基于北京历史和自身经历的老故事。in addition意为“此外”,为固定用法。且该空位于句首,需大写。故填In。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:此外,他组织主题活动,分享基于北京历史和自身经历的老故事。形容词短语“based on…”意为“基于……”,为固定用法;此处based on Beijing’s history作后置定语,修饰old stories。故填based。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:目前,托姆及其团队正致力于撰写一本关于大栅栏历史的书,旨在向更多人讲述这一地区在不同时期的生命力。此处用所给形容词的副词currently作状语,修饰整个句子。且该空位于句首,需大写。故填Currently。

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。
“Someday I’m going to Ireland,” seven-year-old Carrie declared, her tiny finger pressing eagerly against the green fields shown in her book. Her blue eyes shone, as if she could already see the sheep eating grass and feel the fresh air on her face. Even at that young age, there was a quiet determination in her voice that made me nod in agreement — this wasn’t just a passing dream.
She’d always been that way: never complaining, and always ready to shoulder responsibility. After my husband lost his job, I took on odd jobs just to collect enough money for groceries and rent. Carrie, without being asked, joined in — cleaning floors after school, fixing clothes on weekends, and even preparing our lunches each morning so I could have one less thing to worry about.
As money grew tighter and bills continued to pile up, Carrie’s resolve only strengthened. When she wrote an essay in fourth grade titled “My Biggest Wish” and penned “Visit Ireland” at the top, I saw that same strong spirit in her words — the kind that refused to give up, no matter how tough the circumstances.
High school brought the opportunity she’d been eagerly awaiting. One afternoon, she flew through the door, backpack swinging wildly, and shouted, “Mama! The language class trip — we’re going to Ireland! Five days!” Her smile, however, weakened slightly. “But it’s $1,500.” Before I could say a word, she added firmly, “I can earn it. I will.” That’s when the apple pies became her mission.
She dug up the treasured recipe Grandma had given her. Starting small, she sold pies to neighbors after school. “One pie closer,” she’d whisper softly, wiping flour from her cheek as she stood over the stove (炉子), her homework spread out on the table beside her.
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。
Carrie worked tirelessly, her energy seemingly endless.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With a victorious smile, she quickly handed in the trip fee at school.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Carrie worked tirelessly, her energy seemingly endless. Soon, her efforts paid off. The local diner placed an order for a dozen pies a day. The factory down the road bought 50 for their break room. Each pie she sold and every “thank you” from a satisfied customer fueled her determination. She balanced schoolwork, pie-making, and even helped with household chores, never once complaining about the exhaustion. The day arrived when Carrie counted her savings and found she had enough.
With a victorious smile, she quickly handed in the trip fee at school. The following week, she boarded the plane with her classmates, her heart pounding with excitement. As they landed in Ireland and stepped out into the fresh air, the sight of those familiar green hills she had read about in books made her eyes well up with tears of joy. Carrie stood among her friends, her dream finally realized, knowing deep down that her quiet determination had truly borne fruit.
