A single mistake — losing equipment or a horse stepping into a hidden hole — can mean game over. Yet earlier this month, 45 riders faced this challenge in the Mongol Derby, known as the world’s toughest horse race. The course covers 1,000 kilometers of open plains, mountains, rivers, and sand. Riders spend up to ten days crossing the land, changing horses every 20 miles at supply stations. These Mongol horses are known to be the toughest in the world, handling -40℃ winters to 30℃ summers. Small but powerful, they have changed very little over hundreds of years and are known for carrying warriors into battle during the Mongol Empire’s conquests in the 13th century. But riding these horses is extremely demanding. “Competitors endure 12-hour days at high speed. It’s significantly harder than anything I’ve ever done,” said Anna Boden. The 30-year-old teacher from London was one of the four winners of the Mongol Derby, crossing the finish line alongside Eisa Al Khayari and Khalifa Al Hamed from the UAE, and Michael Pollard from the USA. The physical challenge is matched by the mental strain. “The toughest part is staying positive through highs and lows,” Michael said. “You’re constantly facing failure, but pushing through makes you even stronger.” Riders stay in gers — traditional Mongolian tents — with local herding families, whose kindness offers comfort and motivation. Horses are sacred in Mongolia, and riders must respect them — even when thrown off. “Respect for the horses is vital here,” Michael noted. The race traces back to Genghis Khan’s 13th-century postal system, linking distant lands by horse relay. Today, it honors that legacy. Rather unusually for a horse race, the Mongol Derby allows joint winners, which is how four riders crossed the finish line at the same time this year. Michael said: “We’d rather cross together than see anyone lose. It is really beautiful and I’m really honored to have been part of it.” 4. What makes the Mongol Derby especially challenging? A. Riders have to cross 1,000 km of rough land. B. Riders might easily lose their way in the wild. C. Riders need to set up their own tents at night. D. Riders might run into wild animals along the route. 5. What does Michael think is the hardest thing about the race? A. Enduring extreme physical pain. B. Communicating with local families. C. Staying optimistic through tough times. D. Changing horses at supply stations every 20 miles. 6. Why must riders show respect to the horses according to the text? A. To avoid horse injuries. B. Due to their religious significance. C. Because of their strength and power. D. To ensure faster speed during the race. 7. What does Michael Pollard’s statement in the last paragraph suggest? A. Team spirit matters. B. Winning is everything. C. The race is in fact unfair. D. Genghis Khan’s legacy will live on. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了世界最艰难的蒙古德比赛马，赛程1000公里且地形复杂，骑手需应对身心双重挑战，借住当地牧民蒙古包，赛事传承成吉思汗遗产，今年四人携手夺冠彰显团队精神。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The course covers 1,000 kilometers of open plains, mountains, rivers, and sand. (该比赛涵盖了1000公里开阔平原、山脉、河流和沙地)”可知，蒙古赛马会具有挑战性是因为骑手们需要穿越1000公里的崎岖地形。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The toughest part is staying positive through highs and lows, (最困难的部分在于无论处于顺境还是逆境都能保持积极的心态)”可知，迈克尔认为这场比赛中最难的事情是在艰难时刻保持乐观的心态。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Horses are sacred in Mongolia, and riders must respect them — even when thrown off. (在蒙古，马是神圣的生物，骑手们必须尊重它们——即便是在被从马上摔下来的情况下也是如此)”可知，骑手必须对马表现出尊重是因为它们具有宗教意义。故选B。 7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We’d rather cross together than see anyone lose. (我们宁愿一起冲过终点线，也不愿看到有人失败)”可知，迈克尔·波拉德在最后一段中的言论暗示了团队精神很重要。故选A。 C For swimmers and surfers, sharks without teeth may sound like a relief. Yet a new study warns that this could one day become a reality, as ocean acidification threatens the sharp teeth that these top predators rely on to survive. Sharks have several rows of teeth, and new ones usually replace lost ones quickly. But researchers found that rising ocean acidity may damage teeth faster than they can be replaced, making it harder for sharks to feed. This could affect both shark populations and the balance of the marine ecosystem. Ocean acidification occurs when the sea absorbs large amounts of carbon dioxide, lowering pH levels. By the year 2300, the ocean’s pH may drop from today’s 8.1 to about:7.3. Such a change could bring serious challenges to many sea creatures. To test the impact, scientists placed 60 shark teeth into tanks. One tank had normal seawater (pH 8.1) and the other was more acidic (pH 7.3). After eight weeks, teeth in the acidic water showed about twice as much damage. The teeth had come from blacktip reef sharks at a German aquarium, which were collected after the sharks naturally lost them. According to lead researcher Maximilian Baum, acidification adds to other threats sharks already face, such as overfishing and loss of prey (猎物). Earlier research also showed that shark skin scales, which are tooth-like structures, suffer similar harm. More sensitive shark species, especially those with slower tooth replacement, may face greater risks. Still, Baum believes sharks may adapt by replacing teeth more quickly or strengthening them. Shark tooth expert Lisa Whitenack added that even corroded teeth might still function. She stressed the need for future studies to test whether damaged teeth can still cut or puncture prey effectively. The findings highlight the importance of reducing human-made carbon emissions. Protecting sharks’ teeth is not only about the animals themselves, but also about the health of the entire ocean ecosystem. 8. What can be inferred from the study’s findings? A. Sharks will evolve larger jaws soon. B. Artificial lighting brings sharks more food. C. Cutting carbon emissions helps protect sharks. D. Most sharks already adapt well to acidic waters. 9. What did the shark tooth experiment show? A. Teeth grew stronger in acidic water. B. Acidic water doubled tooth damage. C. pH 7.3 water improved tooth strength. D. Teeth in pH 8.1 water remained perfect. 10 What does Lisa Whitenack’s statement suggest? A. Corroded teeth are useless for hunting. B. Damaged teeth need functional testing. C. Sharks will evolve new teeth structures. D. Acidification only affects tooth appearance. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Sharks’ Teeth at Risk from Acid. B. Why Sharks lose Teeth in Old Age. C. New Discoveries About Shark Teeth. D. The Role of Shark Teeth in Marine Ecosystems. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍海洋酸化对鲨鱼牙齿造成损害及相关研究，强调减排对保护鲨鱼和海洋生态的重要性。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The findings highlight the importance of reducing human-made carbon emissions. Protecting sharks’ teeth is not only about the animals themselves, but also about the health of the entire ocean ecosystem.(这些发现凸显了减少人为碳排放的重要性。保护鲨鱼的牙齿不仅关乎这些动物本身，也关乎整个海洋生态系统的健康)”可知，减少碳排放有助于保护鲨鱼，因为海洋酸化由碳排放导致，而酸化威胁鲨鱼牙齿。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“After eight weeks, teeth in the acidic water showed about twice as much damage.(八周后，酸性水中的牙齿显示出大约两倍的损伤)” 可知，鲨鱼牙齿实验表明，酸性水使牙齿损伤翻倍。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“She stressed the need for future studies to test whether damaged teeth can still cut or puncture prey effectively.(她强调未来需要开展研究，测试受损牙齿是否仍能有效切割或刺穿猎物)”可知，莉萨・怀特纳克的言论表明，受损牙齿的功能需要进一步测试。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Yet a new study warns that this could one day become a reality, as ocean acidification threatens the sharp teeth that these top predators rely on to survive.(然而，一项新的研究警告说，这一天可能会成为现实，因为海洋酸化正威胁着这些顶级捕食者赖以生存的锋利牙齿)”可知，文章开篇即点明核心话题——海洋酸化对鲨鱼牙齿的威胁。后文围绕这一核心，介绍了海洋酸化的成因、针对鲨鱼牙齿的实验结果、酸化带来的连锁影响及专家观点，最终强调减少碳排放以保护鲨鱼牙齿和海洋生态的重要性。选项A“Sharks’ Teeth at Risk from Acid (鲨鱼牙齿面临酸的威胁)”精准概括了文章的核心冲突与主题，是最适合的标题。故选A项。 D A recent study has shown that different kinds of songs bring back different kinds of memories. Softer, acoustic (原声的) music tends to remind people of calm or even sad moments, while louder, high-energy songs more often bring back fun and exciting events. “We all know the feeling of hearing a song and suddenly being taken back to a past moment,” explained Safiyah Nawaz from Goldsmiths University in London. “Our study shows that qualities of the music itself — such as how energetic, loud, or acoustic it is — are connected to the emotions and clarity of those memories.” Scientists have long known that music can conjure strong memories. What’s new is how the emotional qualities of music are linked to memory, which could help in medical treatments, such as helping people with dementia (痴呆) or Alzheimer’s disease. Music therapies are already used with patients, often reducing anxiety and improving their relationships with caregivers. To explore this further, researchers surveyed 233 people aged 18 to 76. Participants were asked about memories connected to both their favorite songs and popular hits from their teenage years. Previous research suggests that around age 14, people form the strongest music-related memories. The analysis revealed several patterns. More acoustic songs were tied to vivid and unique memories, often involving emotions like romance or admiration. In contrast, high-energy songs, such as Prince’s When Doves Cry, brought back memories of excitement and amusement, and were recalled more quickly. Another key finding was that self-chosen songs led to more positive and specific memories than chart hits, showing that it’s not just the musical features that influence memory, but also how much a person likes a song and how familiar it is to them. The team has also launched an online collection of songs and musical memories, aiming to expand it beyond Western samples. “We hope this collection will help us better understand how music, together with personal experience, produces such deep and meaningful memories,” said Nawaz, adding that future research will explore how musical elements interact with personal factors to create meaningful memories in everyday life. 12. What is the main focus of the recent study? A. Why people prefer acoustic songs. B. How music treats dementia patients. C. How music affects emotions directly. D. How music qualities influence memory. 13. What does the underlined word “conjure” in Paragraph 3 most likely mean? A. Hold back. B. Search for. C. Put down. D. Bring about. 14. What is a possible benefit of music therapy? A. Stop memory decline. B. Improve patient mood. C. Help patients live longer. D. Slow down aging process. 15. Which kind of music recalls more pleasant memories? A. Songs from the music charts. B. Songs that are soft and acoustic. C. Songs frequently played on the radio. D. Songs personally preferred by listeners. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。伦敦金史密斯大学的研究表明，音乐特质（如活力、音量等）及个人喜好会影响记忆，原声歌关联鲜明独特记忆，高能量歌唤起兴奋感，该研究或助力相关疾病治疗。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A recent study has shown that different kinds of songs bring back different kinds of memories. Softer, acoustic (原声的) music tends to remind people of calm or even sad moments, while louder, high-energy songs more often bring back fun and exciting events.(最近的一项研究表明，不同类型的歌曲会唤起不同类型的记忆。柔和的原声音乐往往会让人想起平静甚至悲伤的时刻，而响亮、充满活力的歌曲则更多地让人回想起有趣和激动人心的事件)”可知，最近这项研究的主要关注点是音乐的特质如何影响记忆。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Our study shows that qualities of the music itself — such as how energetic, loud, or acoustic it is — are connected to the emotions and clarity of those memories.(我们的研究表明，音乐本身的特质（比如其能量感、音量的大小或者原生化程度）与那些记忆所引发的情绪以及清晰度之间存在着关联)”以及划线词后文“What’s new is how the emotional qualities of music are linked to memory, which could help in medical treatments, such as helping people with dementia (痴呆) or Alzheimer’s disease. Music therapies are already used with patients, often reducing anxiety and improving their relationships with caregivers.(新的发现在于音乐所蕴含的情感特质与记忆之间存在着怎样的关联，这一发现或许能为医疗治疗带来帮助，比如有助于治疗痴呆症或阿尔茨海默病患者。音乐疗法已经在患者中得到应用，通常能减轻患者的焦虑情绪，并改善他们与护理人员之间的关系)”可知，上下文提到“听到一首歌突然回到过去的时刻”，说明音乐能“唤起”强烈记忆。故划线词意思是“引起；促成”，与Bring about意义相近。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Music therapies are already used with patients, often reducing anxiety and improving their relationships with caregivers. (音乐疗法已经在患者治疗中得到应用，它往往能减轻患者的焦虑情绪，并改善他们与护理人员之间的关系)”可知，音乐疗法可能带来的一个好处是提升患者的情绪状态。故选B。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Another key finding was that self-chosen songs led to more positive and specific memories than chart hits, showing that it’s not just the musical features that influence memory, but also how much a person likes a song and how familiar it is to them.(另一项重要发现是，个人选择的歌曲比热门排行榜歌曲能引发更积极且更具体的记忆。这表明影响记忆的不仅仅是音乐本身的特征，还包括一个人对一首歌的喜爱程度以及这首歌对他们而言的熟悉程度)”可知，听众个人所喜爱的歌曲能唤起更美好的回忆。故选D。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A great poem can be there for you — just like other works of art you hold dear.

For days, they had been preparing for a weekend hike in the mountains. It all started with a map Kael found in an old hiking magazine at the library. Tucked between pages about mountain trails was an old photo of a lake so blue it looked unreal — “Hidden Eagle Lake,” it said, “almost no one knows how to get there.” That was all he needed. “Mira, we have to go!” he said, bursting into her room. For days, they studied printouts, packing and repacking their bags, checking lists again and again. Their parents weren’t thrilled, but finally agreed: one night, just the two of them, deep in the Pine Ridge Mountains. On a foggy Sunday morning, backpacks heavy on their shoulders, they left the last road behind and began climbing. The trail was steeper than expected, roots snaking across the path, fog wrapping the trees like smoke. But when they finally broke through the treeline, there it was — the lake, glowing under the clearing sky, surrounded by cliffs and silence. No footprints. No signs. Just wild, untouched beauty. They dropped their packs with a laugh, quickly set up the tent, and lit a fire. As soup warmed over the flames, they sat close, swapping stories from past trips, feeling like real explorers. For a moment, everything seemed perfect. Then Kael saw it — a dark gap beneath some thick vines, half-hidden by the rocks. “Look! A cave!” he said, eyes wide. Mira hesitated — it looked damp... maybe dangerous. But curiosity won. “Okay,” she said, “but just a quick look.” Big mistake. Inside, the air turned cold. The narrow tunnel opened into a wider space, water dripping from sharp rocks above. Kael stepped forward — and the ground gave way beneath him. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Mira’s heart sank, but she forced herself to stay calm. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Kael took a deep breath, grabbing the rope with one hand. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Mira’s heart sank, but she forced herself to stay calm. “Kael! Can you hear me?” she called out, her voice trembling slightly. She leaned over the edge, and relief washed over her when she heard Kael’s faint reply. “I’m okay, just a little bruised.” Mira quickly rummaged through her backpack and found the climbing rope they’d packed. She tied one end securely to a sturdy rock above the cave entrance and lowered the other end down. “Hold on tight, I’ll get you out,” she said firmly. Kael took a deep breath, grabbing the rope with one hand. Mira pulled with all her strength, her muscles straining. Step by step, Kael climbed up, and when he finally reached the top, they collapsed into each other’s arms, tears of relief streaming down their faces. That night, as they sat by the fire again, the lake still shimmering in the distance, they knew their adventure had taken a scary turn, but their bond had only grown stronger. They decided to leave the cave unexplored and cherish the beauty of Hidden Eagle Lake, vowing to always put safety first on their future adventures. 【解析】 【导语】本文以寻找Hidden Eagle Lake的探险经历为线索展开，讲述了Mira和Kael兄妹二人探索神秘湖泊，在洞穴遇险后依靠彼此获救，最终领悟探险与安全平衡之道的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Mira的心一沉，但她强迫自己保持冷静”可知，第一段可描写Mira发现Kael遇险后，强作镇定，利用绳索展开救援的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“Kael深吸一口气，一手抓住绳子”可知，第二段可描写Kael借助绳索攀爬获救，兄妹二人经历此次事件后对探险和安全的感悟，以及对未来冒险的规划。 2. 续写线索： Mira镇定救援——Kael借力攀爬——兄妹相拥释压——领悟探险真谛——规划未来冒险 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 搜寻：rummage through/search through/dig through ② 紧紧抓住：hold on tight/clutch tightly/hang on firmly ③ 决定：decide to do/ determine to do 情绪类 ①她的声音微微颤抖：her voice tremble slightly/a subtle shiver run through her voice ② 如释重负的泪水从他们的脸上流下来：tears of relief stream down their faces/Tears brimming with relief roll down their cheeks 【点睛】【高分句型1】Mira quickly rummaged through her backpack and found the climbing rope they’d packed.

A single mistake — losing equipment or a horse stepping into a hidden hole — can mean game over. Yet earlier this month, 45 riders faced this challenge in the Mongol Derby, known as the world’s toughest horse race. The course covers 1,000 kilometers of open plains, mountains, rivers, and sand. Riders spend up to ten days crossing the land, changing horses every 20 miles at supply stations. These Mongol horses are known to be the toughest in the world, handling -40℃ winters to 30℃ summers. Small but powerful, they have changed very little over hundreds of years and are known for carrying warriors into battle during the Mongol Empire’s conquests in the 13th century. But riding these horses is extremely demanding. “Competitors endure 12-hour days at high speed. It’s significantly harder than anything I’ve ever done,” said Anna Boden. The 30-year-old teacher from London was one of the four winners of the Mongol Derby, crossing the finish line alongside Eisa Al Khayari and Khalifa Al Hamed from the UAE, and Michael Pollard from the USA. The physical challenge is matched by the mental strain. “The toughest part is staying positive through highs and lows,” Michael said. “You’re constantly facing failure, but pushing through makes you even stronger.” Riders stay in gers — traditional Mongolian tents — with local herding families, whose kindness offers comfort and motivation. Horses are sacred in Mongolia, and riders must respect them — even when thrown off. “Respect for the horses is vital here,” Michael noted. The race traces back to Genghis Khan’s 13th-century postal system, linking distant lands by horse relay. Today, it honors that legacy. Rather unusually for a horse race, the Mongol Derby allows joint winners, which is how four riders crossed the finish line at the same time this year. Michael said: “We’d rather cross together than see anyone lose. It is really beautiful and I’m really honored to have been part of it.” 4. What makes the Mongol Derby especially challenging? A. Riders have to cross 1,000 km of rough land. B. Riders might easily lose their way in the wild. C. Riders need to set up their own tents at night. D. Riders might run into wild animals along the route. 5. What does Michael think is the hardest thing about the race? A. Enduring extreme physical pain. B. Communicating with local families. C. Staying optimistic through tough times. D. Changing horses at supply stations every 20 miles. 6. Why must riders show respect to the horses according to the text? A. To avoid horse injuries. B. Due to their religious significance. C. Because of their strength and power. D. To ensure faster speed during the race. 7 What does Michael Pollard’s statement in the last paragraph suggest? A. Team spirit matters. B. Winning is everything. C. The race is in fact unfair. D. Genghis Khan’s legacy will live on. C For swimmers and surfers, sharks without teeth may sound like a relief. Yet a new study warns that this could one day become a reality, as ocean acidification threatens the sharp teeth that these top predators rely on to survive. Sharks have several rows of teeth, and new ones usually replace lost ones quickly. But researchers found that rising ocean acidity may damage teeth faster than they can be replaced, making it harder for sharks to feed. This could affect both shark populations and the balance of the marine ecosystem. Ocean acidification occurs when the sea absorbs large amounts of carbon dioxide, lowering pH levels. By the year 2300, the ocean’s pH may drop from today’s 8.1 to about:7.3. Such a change could bring serious challenges to many sea creatures. To test the impact, scientists placed 60 shark teeth into tanks. One tank had normal seawater (pH 8.1) and the other was more acidic (pH 7.3). After eight weeks, teeth in the acidic water showed about twice as much damage. The teeth had come from blacktip reef sharks at a German aquarium, which were collected after the sharks naturally lost them. According to lead researcher Maximilian Baum, acidification adds to other threats sharks already face, such as overfishing and loss of prey (猎物). Earlier research also showed that shark skin scales, which are tooth-like structures, suffer similar harm. More sensitive shark species, especially those with slower tooth replacement, may face greater risks. Still, Baum believes sharks may adapt by replacing teeth more quickly or strengthening them. Shark tooth expert Lisa Whitenack added that even corroded teeth might still function. She stressed the need for future studies to test whether damaged teeth can still cut or puncture prey effectively. The findings highlight the importance of reducing human-made carbon emissions. Protecting sharks’ teeth is not only about the animals themselves, but also about the health of the entire ocean ecosystem. 8. What can be inferred from the study’s findings? A. Sharks will evolve larger jaws soon. B. Artificial lighting brings sharks more food. C. Cutting carbon emissions helps protect sharks. D. Most sharks already adapt well to acidic waters. 9. What did the shark tooth experiment show? A. Teeth grew stronger in acidic water. B Acidic water doubled tooth damage. C. pH 7.3 water improved tooth strength. D. Teeth in pH 8.1 water remained perfect. 10. What does Lisa Whitenack’s statement suggest? A. Corroded teeth are useless for hunting. B. Damaged teeth need functional testing. C. Sharks will evolve new teeth structures. D. Acidification only affects tooth appearance. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Sharks’ Teeth at Risk from Acid. B. Why Sharks lose Teeth in Old Age. C. New Discoveries About Shark Teeth. D. The Role of Shark Teeth in Marine Ecosystems. D A recent study has shown that different kinds of songs bring back different kinds of memories. Softer, acoustic (原声的) music tends to remind people of calm or even sad moments, while louder, high-energy songs more often bring back fun and exciting events. “We all know the feeling of hearing a song and suddenly being taken back to a past moment,” explained Safiyah Nawaz from Goldsmiths University in London. “Our study shows that qualities of the music itself — such as how energetic, loud, or acoustic it is — are connected to the emotions and clarity of those memories.” Scientists have long known that music can conjure strong memories. What’s new is how the emotional qualities of music are linked to memory, which could help in medical treatments, such as helping people with dementia (痴呆) or Alzheimer’s disease. Music therapies are already used with patients, often reducing anxiety and improving their relationships with caregivers. To explore this further, researchers surveyed 233 people aged 18 to 76. Participants were asked about memories connected to both their favorite songs and popular hits from their teenage years. Previous research suggests that around age 14, people form the strongest music-related memories. The analysis revealed several patterns. More acoustic songs were tied to vivid and unique memories, often involving emotions like romance or admiration. In contrast, high-energy songs, such as Prince’s When Doves Cry, brought back memories of excitement and amusement, and were recalled more quickly. Another key finding was that self-chosen songs led to more positive and specific memories than chart hits, showing that it’s not just the musical features that influence memory, but also how much a person likes a song and how familiar it is to them. The team has also launched an online collection of songs and musical memories, aiming to expand it beyond Western samples. “We hope this collection will help us better understand how music, together with personal experience, produces such deep and meaningful memories,” said Nawaz, adding that future research will explore how musical elements interact with personal factors to create meaningful memories in everyday life. 12.

It can help you process sadness, anger or fear. ____16____ Some poems make you want to stand up and shout them from the roofs. But if you haven’t read poetry in a while, these feelings may be hard to access. Here are four tips to help you meaningfully connect to a poem. ____17____ In school, poetry is often taught as something to analyze — students must understand every line, find hidden meanings, and write essays. That keeps them from developing personal relationships with poetry. So relax as you read a poem — there’s no quiz at the end! Read it out loud. ____18____ When you speak the words out, you notice rhythm, tone, and emotion. Try reading the same poem in different ways: slowly, as if savoring each word; or clearly, as if explaining it to someone else. It may help further your understanding of the poem. Don’t worry about “getting it”. People often feel pressured to unlock a poem’s true meaning. Don’t do that. ____19____ Ask yourself some simple questions: What impression does it leave? What thoughts come to mind? These questions help you shape your experience. Visualize the poem. A poem might offer visual imagery — or may not. If not, use your imagination to fill in the details. Think of the poem as a movie or a play and you’re the director. What colors would you use? ____20____ If there’s light, what kind of light would it be? These brain pictures can enrich your connection to the poem. A What kind of setting is there? B. Take notes while studying poetry. C. Instead, focus on your own reaction. D. Or it makes you feel happy or excited. E. Don’t treat poetry like a classroom task. F. How does the poem have an impact on you? G. Poetry has a long history as an art form. 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Looked down upon, left out, unwanted — that’s how I felt that day.

For days, they had been preparing for a weekend hike in the mountains. It all started with a map Kael found in an old hiking magazine at the library. Tucked between pages about mountain trails was an old photo of a lake so blue it looked unreal — “Hidden Eagle Lake,” it said, “almost no one knows how to get there.” That was all he needed. “Mira, we have to go!” he said, bursting into her room. For days, they studied printouts, packing and repacking their bags, checking lists again and again. Their parents weren’t thrilled, but finally agreed: one night, just the two of them, deep in the Pine Ridge Mountains. On a foggy Sunday morning, backpacks heavy on their shoulders, they left the last road behind and began climbing. The trail was steeper than expected, roots snaking across the path, fog wrapping the trees like smoke. But when they finally broke through the treeline, there it was — the lake, glowing under the clearing sky, surrounded by cliffs and silence. No footprints. No signs. Just wild, untouched beauty. They dropped their packs with a laugh, quickly set up the tent, and lit a fire. As soup warmed over the flames, they sat close, swapping stories from past trips, feeling like real explorers. For a moment, everything seemed perfect. Then Kael saw it — a dark gap beneath some thick vines, half-hidden by the rocks. “Look! A cave!” he said, eyes wide. Mira hesitated — it looked damp... maybe dangerous. But curiosity won. “Okay,” she said, “but just a quick look.” Big mistake. Inside, the air turned cold. The narrow tunnel opened into a wider space, water dripping from sharp rocks above. Kael stepped forward — and the ground gave way beneath him. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Mira’s heart sank, but she forced herself to stay calm. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Kael took a deep breath, grabbing the rope with one hand. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
