When we see a person in trouble, the first idea that comes to our mind is to lend a hand. But what if we see an animal in trouble, does the same rule apply?
This question was raised after a group of penguins (企鹅) were saved from an icy gully (峡谷) in Antarctica. It was filmed for the BBC wildlife series Dynasties. The film crew were anxious when they saw that a group of penguins had fallen into a gully and been trapped with their young. They built a slope (斜坡) so that a few of the penguins could save themselves.
The case has taken the international media by storm. Viewers watching this film sighed in relief. “I’m so glad. I understand not taking action directly, but a helping hand isn’t bothering, right?” viewer Kathryn Shaw said on her Facebook.
However, others think human interference (干涉) is unnatural. “You can’t have sunshine throughout your life. To have done anything else would only make matters worse.” said the show’s creator David Attenborough, according to TheTimes.
In this case, however, Mike Gunton, the executive producer of the series, said that this was a one-off situation. “There were no animals going to suffer by interfering. You weren’t touching the animals and it was just felt by doing this …They had the chance not to have to keep slipping down the slope.” he told the BBC.
Such cases are familiar to Paul Nicklen, wildlife photographer for National Geographic. He told Metro, “If it’s ever a predator (捕食者) situation, no matter how gut-wrenching, you stay out of the way. Even when you’re watching a male polar bear eat a baby bear.”
“There’s no rule book in those situations. You can only respond to the facts that are right there in front of you.” Will Lawson, the show’s director, told Daily Mail.
4. What has led to a heated media discussion?
A. The rescue of penguins from a gully.
B. People’s various opinions on penguins.
C. Some penguins’ sufferings in a gully.
D. Ways of filming the series Dynasties.
5. Who holds a positive attitude towards human interference?
A. David Attenborough. B. Will Lawson.
C. Paul Nicklen. D. Kathryn Shaw.
6. Which of the following best explains the word “gutwrenching” underlined in Paragraph 6?
A. Making one confused. B. Making one heartbroken.
C. Putting one in danger. D. Making one amazed.
7. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Necessity of Lending a Hand to Animals
B. Protect Animals From Dying Out
C. Human Interference on Dangerous Animals
D. Help Animals in Trouble or Not
C
They say everything is bigger in Texas. While that may be true, some of the best things in Texas are quite small. Case in point: tiny Mount Vernon, a town of just under 3,000 people. But if you do come across Mount Vernon, you might just get an intention to stay. That happens a lot around here, and it’s worth noting how remarkable that is.
Tom Wilkinson was born in Mount Vernon 87 years ago and moved back after he retired from his career as a college English professor in Dallas. Like many of his neighbors, Wilkinson can track his ancestors back to the pioneers who settled here in the 1870s. And like many, he values the simple life you can’t easily find in big cities. “People are still polite. They hold the door open for you.” he says, “We grow strong roots here!”
Preserving and honoring the past has been key to helping Mount Vernon survive. The residents have restored and reopened some of the empty stores, including the old barbershop, built more than 100 years ago. An old general store was turned into a combination space. Wander in on any given day and you might find a book club discussion, a Coffee Ladies meet-up, or a work session for the local genealogy(家谱) group among the tables of people chatting over cups of coffee and plates of food.
Mount Vernon has the kind of big hearts you tend to find in a small town. For instance, when a local policeman was diagnosed with cancer last year, ten-year-old Lola McKellar set up a lemonade stand to raise money for his treatments. In 2015, when a 350-year flood sent water rushing into local homes, an army of volunteers showed up to get a wheelchair-bound neighbor and his wife to higher ground, and then came back to help rebuild.
8. What does the author think of Mount Vernon?
A. Remote. B. Wealthy.
C. Primitive. D. Attractive.
9. Why did Tom Wilkinson come back to Mount Vernon?
A. He preferred the simple and natural life. B. He could continue his language teaching.
C. He could live together with his ancestors. D. He could meet more neighbors of his age.
10. What can we infer about people’s way of life in Mount Vernon from Paragraph 3?
A. It is in danger of extinction. B. It is quickly changing over time.
C. It is conservative but harmonious. D. It is being disturbed by the outside world.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The history of Mount Vernon. B. The humanity of Mount Vernon.
C. The volunteers of Mount Vernon. D. The reconstruction of Mount Vernon.
D
Cold winters can be extra annoying for people who wear eyeglasses. Whenever they come indoors, their glasses practically always fog up, just like when warm air from a car’s heater hits a cold windscreen.
When you enter a house from the extremely cold outdoors, the warm air around you cools. This causes some of the water vapor (水蒸气) in the air to turn into small drops of water. If you have glasses, nearby tiny water drops will attach to the glasses and fog them up, explains Alexander Henn, who developed a new coating made from tree waste.
Henn dealt with the problem by using a renewable waste product — lignin (木质素), a combination made from smaller building blocks. Woody plants contain lots of lignin, which keeps them hard and strong. “Here in Finland, we have a lot of trees. Everyone knows that you can build with the wood, or you can make paper or cloth from it, but most of those processes don’t use a tree’s lignin, which ends up as a waste product,” Henn says.
The researchers were working with lignin nanoparticles (纳米粒子) before starting thinking about fog. To make them the scientists put mini-lignin pieces in a specially made liquid. When they poured that liquid into water, the lignin gathered together, forming tiny groups in the water. Each one was about 100 nanometers in size. Those tiny bits were hydrophilic, which means they love water. Coating glass with water-loving lignin bits would change how its surface interacts with water. The nanoparticles wanted to hold onto the water, which would make them spread out across the glass surface. If that water spreads out enough, the small water drops will form a continuous thin layer. Although the glasses are now wet, they might not be foggy.
There was just one problem. “You could see the particles” Henn says. So putting lignin bits on glass would make it look a bit dirty. This encouraged Henn to make the lignin particles 50 nanometers across so they would go unnoticed. “Lignin can do many different things, including being used as an incredible renewable resource. Besides, it can take in light in interesting ways,” he adds.
12. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. What troubles glasses wearers. B. How to keep your glasses clear.
C. Why glasses turn foggy in winter. D. How water vapor becomes water drops.
13. What can be inferred from Henn’s words in paragraph 3?
A. Lignin is a rare element in trees. B. Finland has created much wood waste.
C. Trees in Finland are used unreasonably. D. Lignin’s role is often ignored in Finland.
14. How did lignin help rid glasses of fog?
A By dividing water drops into nanoparticles.
B. By forming a thin layer of water on the glass.
C. By stopping water vapor from becoming water.
D. By taking in water and keeping the glasses dry.
15. What is Henn’s solution to the disadvantage of the lignin coating?
A. Creating recyclable lignin. B. Making smaller lignin bits.
C. Applying lignin in wider areas. D. Exploring ways to clean eyeglasses.

Being aware of your own body language is the first step to use it effectively. Good posture shows confidence, and leaning slightly forward shows you are engaged in the conversation. ____18____ It shows respect and interest in what the other person is saying.
Similarly, understanding others’ body language can help you understand their true feelings. ____19____ If a friend says they are not angry but their jaw is tight and their arms are crossed, you might want to talk to them about what’s really wrong.
____20____ By paying close attention to non-verbal cues, you can avoid misunderstandings and connect with others on a deeper level.
So, the next time you are in a conversation, remember to not only listen to the words but also to watch the body.

Growing up, I wanted to be just like my mom. She was kind and caring, and always made people comfortable in her presence. For years she was a volunteer in our community. I love going to the local nursing home to help with her when I was a child. However, once I became a teenager, I was too caught up in my adolescent world to worry about helping others.
One particular summer day when I was 12, Mom came into my room and told me to get up and meet her at the car. But I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin everything? At last, I made my way outside with my mother. Angry and annoyed, I climbed into the car and shoot the door loudly. I sat in silence, too upset to talk. “Tasha, do you know where we are going?” Mom asked calmly. I remained silent. “Sweetheart, we’re going to the children’s shelter. I have been there before and I think it would benefit you,” she explained.
I feel a pain slowly form in my stomach. How was I supposed to help there?
When we reached the shelter, I was rather surprised. As we approached the front door, wind bells played a calming tune while trees and flowers welcomed us. Maybe this wasn’t going to be so.
Mom rang the doorbell. We were led to the front room, where all of the children were playing. Toys were spread out across the floor. I noticed a baby whose body was seriously wounded. Most of the children had noticeable physical scars such as cuts, burns and scratches. What a terrible life they must had had before they moved here! My heart sank. As I was looking around, I felt a gentle pull on my shirt.

When we see a person in trouble, the first idea that comes to our mind is to lend a hand. But what if we see an animal in trouble, does the same rule apply?
This question was raised after a group of penguins (企鹅) were saved from an icy gully (峡谷) in Antarctica. It was filmed for the BBC wildlife series Dynasties. The film crew were anxious when they saw that a group of penguins had fallen into a gully and been trapped with their young. They built a slope (斜坡) so that a few of the penguins could save themselves.
The case has taken the international media by storm. Viewers watching this film sighed in relief. “I’m so glad. I understand not taking action directly, but a helping hand isn’t bothering, right?” viewer Kathryn Shaw said on her Facebook.
However, others think human interference (干涉) is unnatural. “You can’t have sunshine throughout your life. To have done anything else would only make matters worse.” said the show’s creator David Attenborough, according to TheTimes.
In this case, however, Mike Gunton, the executive producer of the series, said that this was a one-off situation. “There were no animals going to suffer by interfering. You weren’t touching the animals and it was just felt by doing this …They had the chance not to have to keep slipping down the slope.” he told the BBC.
Such cases are familiar to Paul Nicklen, wildlife photographer for National Geographic. He told Metro, “If it’s ever a predator (捕食者) situation, no matter how gut-wrenching, you stay out of the way. Even when you’re watching a male polar bear eat a baby bear.”
“There’s no rule book in those situations. You can only respond to the facts that are right there in front of you.” Will Lawson, the show’s director, told Daily Mail.
4. What has led to a heated media discussion?
A. The rescue of penguins from a gully.
B. People’s various opinions on penguins.
C. Some penguins’ sufferings in a gully.
D. Ways of filming the series Dynasties.
5. Who holds a positive attitude towards human interference?
A. David Attenborough. B. Will Lawson.
C. Paul Nicklen. D. Kathryn Shaw.
6. Which of the following best explains the word “gutwrenching” underlined in Paragraph 6?
A. Making one confused. B. Making one heartbroken.
C. Putting one in danger. D. Making one amazed.
7. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Necessity of Lending a Hand to Animals
B. Protect Animals From Dying Out
C. Human Interference on Dangerous Animals
D. Help Animals in Trouble or Not
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. D
【解析】

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“The film crew were anxious when they saw that a group of penguins had fallen into a gully and been trapped with their young. They built a slope (斜坡) so that a few of the penguins could save themselves.(当摄制组看到一群企鹅和它们的幼崽掉进沟里被困在一起时,他们非常焦虑。他们建了一个斜坡,好让几只企鹅能自救。)”和第三段的“The case has taken the international media by storm.(这起案件引起了国际媒体的广泛关注。)”可知,从峡谷中救出企鹅这一事件引起了大家的热议。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的““I’m so glad. I understand not taking action directly, but a helping hand isn’t bothering, right?” viewer Kathryn Shaw said on her Facebook.(“我很高兴。我理解不直接采取行动,但伸出援助之手并不麻烦,对吧?”观众Kathryn Shaw在她的脸书上说。)”可推知,Kathryn Shaw对帮助动物是很赞成的,故选D。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文语境大家对干涉动物的行为有不同观点,结合下文的“you stay out of the way. Even when you’re watching a male polar bear eat a baby bear(你给我闪开。即使你在看一只雄性北极熊吃掉一只幼熊)”可知,这是个捕食的情景,无论你是多么的心碎,你都不能干预。结合四个选项可知,gutwrenching意为“令人痛苦的”,和Making one heartbroken(令人心碎)意思相近,故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。阅读文章,并结合第一段“When we see a person in trouble, the first idea that comes to our mind is to lend a hand. But what if we see an animal in trouble, does the same rule apply?(当我们看到一个人有麻烦时,我们想到的第一个想法是伸出援手。但是,如果我们看到一只动物陷入困境,同样的规则也适用吗?)”和第二段“This question was raised after a group of penguins (企鹅) were saved from an icy gully (峡谷) in Antarctica.(这个问题是在一群企鹅从南极洲的冰沟中获救后提出的。)”可知,本文就救助企鹅的视频引发的热议讲述了当动物面临危险时,我们是否要伸出援救之手,以及如何去保护它们脱险。因此,本文的最佳标题应为D选项“Help Animals in Trouble or Not(是否帮助有困难的动物)”。故选D。
C
They say everything is bigger in Texas. While that may be true, some of the best things in Texas are quite small. Case in point: tiny Mount Vernon, a town of just under 3,000 people. But if you do come across Mount Vernon, you might just get an intention to stay. That happens a lot around here, and it’s worth noting how remarkable that is.
Tom Wilkinson was born in Mount Vernon 87 years ago and moved back after he retired from his career as a college English professor in Dallas. Like many of his neighbors, Wilkinson can track his ancestors back to the pioneers who settled here in the 1870s. And like many, he values the simple life you can’t easily find in big cities. “People are still polite. They hold the door open for you.” he says, “We grow strong roots here!”
Preserving and honoring the past has been key to helping Mount Vernon survive. The residents have restored and reopened some of the empty stores, including the old barbershop, built more than 100 years ago. An old general store was turned into a combination space. Wander in on any given day and you might find a book club discussion, a Coffee Ladies meet-up, or a work session for the local genealogy(家谱) group among the tables of people chatting over cups of coffee and plates of food.
Mount Vernon has the kind of big hearts you tend to find in a small town. For instance, when a local policeman was diagnosed with cancer last year, ten-year-old Lola McKellar set up a lemonade stand to raise money for his treatments. In 2015, when a 350-year flood sent water rushing into local homes, an army of volunteers showed up to get a wheelchair-bound neighbor and his wife to higher ground, and then came back to help rebuild.
8. What does the author think of Mount Vernon?
A. Remote. B. Wealthy.
C. Primitive. D. Attractive.
9. Why did Tom Wilkinson come back to Mount Vernon?
A. He preferred the simple and natural life. B. He could continue his language teaching.
C. He could live together with his ancestors. D. He could meet more neighbors of his age.
10. What can we infer about people’s way of life in Mount Vernon from Paragraph 3?
A. It is in danger of extinction. B. It is quickly changing over time.
C. It is conservative but harmonious. D. It is being disturbed by the outside world.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The history of Mount Vernon. B. The humanity of Mount Vernon.
C. The volunteers of Mount Vernon. D. The reconstruction of Mount Vernon.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了居住在德克萨斯州Mount Vernon小镇的人们返璞归真的生活方式。
【8题详解】

Cold winters can be extra annoying for people who wear eyeglasses. Whenever they come indoors, their glasses practically always fog up, just like when warm air from a car’s heater hits a cold windscreen.
When you enter a house from the extremely cold outdoors, the warm air around you cools. This causes some of the water vapor (水蒸气) in the air to turn into small drops of water. If you have glasses, nearby tiny water drops will attach to the glasses and fog them up, explains Alexander Henn, who developed a new coating made from tree waste.
Henn dealt with the problem by using a renewable waste product — lignin (木质素), a combination made from smaller building blocks. Woody plants contain lots of lignin, which keeps them hard and strong. “Here in Finland, we have a lot of trees. Everyone knows that you can build with the wood, or you can make paper or cloth from it, but most of those processes don’t use a tree’s lignin, which ends up as a waste product,” Henn says.
The researchers were working with lignin nanoparticles (纳米粒子) before starting thinking about fog. To make them, the scientists put mini-lignin pieces in a specially made liquid. When they poured that liquid into water, the lignin gathered together, forming tiny groups in the water. Each one was about 100 nanometers in size. Those tiny bits were hydrophilic, which means they love water. Coating glass with water-loving lignin bits would change how its surface interacts with water. The nanoparticles wanted to hold onto the water, which would make them spread out across the glass surface. If that water spreads out enough, the small water drops will form a continuous thin layer. Although the glasses are now wet, they might not be foggy.
There was just one problem. “You could see the particles,” Henn says. So putting lignin bits on glass would make it look a bit dirty. This encouraged Henn to make the lignin particles 50 nanometers across so they would go unnoticed. “Lignin can do many different things, including being used as an incredible renewable resource. Besides, it can take in light in interesting ways,” he adds.
12. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. What troubles glasses wearers. B. How to keep your glasses clear.
C. Why glasses turn foggy in winter. D. How water vapor becomes water drops.
13. What can be inferred from Henn’s words in paragraph 3?
A. Lignin is a rare element in trees. B. Finland has created much wood waste.
C. Trees in Finland are used unreasonably. D. Lignin’s role is often ignored in Finland.
14. How did lignin help rid glasses of fog?
A. By dividing water drops into nanoparticles.
B. By forming a thin layer of water on the glass.
C. By stopping water vapor from becoming water.
D. By taking in water and keeping the glasses dry.
15. What is Henn’s solution to the disadvantage of the lignin coating?
A. Creating recyclable lignin. B. Making smaller lignin bits.
C. Applying lignin in wider areas. D. Exploring ways to clean eyeglasses.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了冬天戴眼镜很容易起雾十分恼人,研究人员利用木质素这种可再生的废弃物,成功开发出一种纳米涂层,可以防止眼镜镜片起雾。这种涂层不仅环保,而且能够制成无色无味的纳米粒子,在不影响视觉的同时还能有效防雾。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“When you enter a house from the extremely cold outdoors, the warm air around you cools. This causes some of the water vapor in the air to turn into small drops of water. If you have glasses, nearby tiny water drops will attach to the glasses and fog them up, explains Alexander Henn, who developed a new coating made from tree waste. (当你从极冷的室外进入一所房子时,你周围的热空气会变冷。这使得空气中的一些水蒸气变成了小水滴。Alexander Henn解释说,如果你有眼镜,附近的小水滴就会附着在眼镜上,使它们起雾。他开发了一种用树木废料制成的新涂层)”可知,本段主要解释了眼镜在冬天起雾的原因。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中Henn所说的话“Here in Finland, we have a lot of trees. Everyone knows that you can build with the wood, or you can make paper or cloth from it, but most of those processes don’t use a tree’s lignin, which ends up as a waste product (在芬兰,我们有很多树。每个人都知道你可以用木材来建造,或者你可以用它来造纸或布料,但大多数这些过程都不使用树木的木质素,它最终成为废物)”可知,芬兰人知道使用木材,但是都没有充分利用木质素。由此可推知,Henn认为在芬兰木质素的功能被大家所忽视。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Coating glass with water-loving lignin bits would change how its surface interacts with water. The nanoparticles wanted to hold onto the water, which would make them spread out across the glass surface. If that water spreads out enough, the small water drops will form a continuous thin layer. Although the glasses are now wet, they might not be foggy. (在玻璃表面涂上亲水木质素会改变其表面与水的相互作用。纳米粒子想要抓住水,这将使它们在玻璃表面扩散。如果水足够分散,小水滴就会形成连续的薄层。虽然眼镜现在是湿的,但它们可能不会有雾)”可知,木质素通过在眼镜上形成一层薄薄的水层来帮助眼镜除去雾。故选B项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Each one was about 100 nanometers in size. (每一个大约有100纳米大小)”和最后一段中“So putting lignin bits on glass would make it look a bit dirty. This encouraged Henn to make the lignin particles 50 nanometers across so they would go unnoticed. (所以把木质素放在眼镜上会让它看起来有点脏。这促使Henn将木质素颗粒制作成50纳米大小,这样它们就不会被注意到)”可知,对于木质素涂层的缺点,Henn的解决方案是制造更小的木质素颗粒。故选B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。
We use words to communicate our thoughts, but sometimes our non-verbal language speaks louder than words. Body language includes facial expressions, gestures, and postures. ____16____ For instance, a warm smile can build trust, while maintaining eye contact shows attentiveness and sincerity.
However, the meanings of body language can vary greatly across different cultures. ____17____ A gesture that is polite in one country might be offensive in another. The “thumbs-up” gesture, for example, is a sign of agreement in many places, but it is considered rude in some parts of the Middle East.
Being aware of your own body language is the first step to use it effectively. Good posture shows confidence, and leaning slightly forward shows you are engaged in the conversation. ____18____ It shows respect and interest in what the other person is saying.
Similarly, understanding others’ body language can help you understand their true feelings. ____19____ If a friend says they are not angry but their jaw is tight and their arms are crossed, you might want to talk to them about what’s really wrong.
____20____ By paying close attention to non-verbal cues, you can avoid misunderstandings and connect with others on a deeper level.
So, the next time you are in a conversation, remember to not only listen to the words but also to watch the body.
A. Nodding during a conversation is another positive sign.
B. Therefore, it is crucial to learn about these differences.
C. Mastering this skill will make you a better communicator.
D. It is absolutely a powerful tool in our daily communication.
E. Learning about body language is very important for travellers.

【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要阐述了肢体语言的作用以及如何正确利用肢体语言有效交际。
【16题详解】
根据前文“We use words to communicate our thoughts, but sometimes our non-verbal language speaks louder than words. Body language includes facial expressions, gestures, and postures.(我们用语言来交流我们的思想,但有时我们的非语言行为比语言更有说服力。肢体语言包括面部表情、手势和姿势)”以及后文“For instance, a warm smile can build trust, while maintaining eye contact shows attentiveness and sincerity.(例如,一个温暖的微笑可以建立信任,而保持目光接触显示关注和真诚)”可知,D项“It is absolutely a powerful tool in our daily communication.(在我们的日常交流中,它绝对是一个强大的工具)”既承接了前文对身体语言的介绍,又为后文的具体例子提供了总起,起到了承上启下的作用。故选D项。
【17题详解】
根据前文“However, the meanings of body language can vary greatly across different cultures.(然而,在不同的文化中,肢体语言的含义会有很大的不同)”以及后文“A gesture that is polite in one country might be offensive in another. The “thumbs-up” gesture, for example, is a sign of agreement in many places, but it is considered rude in some parts of the Middle East.(一个在一个国家被认为是礼貌的手势在另一个国家可能是无礼的。例如,“竖起大拇指”的手势在许多地方是表示同意的标志,但在中东的一些地区却被认为是粗鲁的)”可知,B项“Therefore, it is crucial to learn about these differences.(因此,了解这些差异是至关重要的)”和上文构成因果关系,自然承接上文的文化差异问题,并引出学习这些差异的必要性。故选B项。
【18题详解】
根据前文“Being aware of your own body language is the first step to use it effectively. Good posture shows confidence, and leaning slightly forward shows you are engaged in the conversation.(意识到自己的肢体语言是有效使用它的第一步。良好的姿势表现出自信,身体微微前倾表明你在参与谈话)”可知,本段主要讲述如何使用肢体语言,所以A项“Nodding during a conversation is another positive sign.(在谈话中点头是另一个积极的信号)”是对前文内容的另一举例,并引出后文“It shows respect and interest in what the other person is saying.(它显示了你对别人所说的话的尊重和兴趣)”,本句是对空处的解释说明。故选A项。
【19题详解】
根据前文“Similarly, understanding others’ body language can help you understand their true feelings.(同样,了解他人的肢体语言可以帮助你了解他们的真实感受)”以及后文“If a friend says they are not angry but their jaw is tight and their arms are crossed, you might want to talk to them about what’s really wrong.(如果一个朋友说他们没有生气,但他们的下巴紧绷,双臂交叉,你可能想和他们谈谈到底是怎么回事)”可知,前文强调理解他人身体语言有助于了解真实感受,后文通过具体例子说明言语与身体语言可能不一致。所以F项“It often tells you more about how someone feels than their words do.(它通常比语言更能告诉你一个人的感受)”准确概括了身体语言在揭示真实情感方面的优势,与后文例子呼应。故选F项。
【20题详解】
根据后文“By paying close attention to non-verbal cues, you can avoid misunderstandings and connect with others on a deeper level.(通过密切关注非语言暗示,你可以避免误解,并在更深层次上与他人建立联系)”可知,此处具体阐述通过注意非语言线索避免误会并促进更深层面的交流,所以C项“Mastering this skill will make you a better communicator.(掌握这个技巧会让你成为一个更好的沟通者)”作为段落主题句,既总结了前文内容,又自然引出后文的具体益处,起到很好的承上启下作用。故选C项。

A Historical Figure in China
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
A Historical Figure in China
Among all Chinese historical figures, I admire Zheng He most, who was a famous navigator in the Ming Dynasty. From 1405 to 1433, he led seven large-scale maritime expeditions, reaching over 30 countries and regions in Asia and Africa.
These voyages were not for conquest but to promote cultural exchanges and trade. He brought Chinese silk, porcelain and technology to other lands, while also introducing foreign products and cultures back to China, which greatly boosted friendly relations between China and the world.
Zheng He’s story teaches us that peace and cooperation are far more powerful than conflict. His spirit of exploration still encourages us to embrace the world with an open mind today.

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。
Growing up, I wanted to be just like my mom. She was kind and caring, and always made people comfortable in her presence. For years she was a volunteer in our community. I love going to the local nursing home to help with her when I was a child. However, once I became a teenager, I was too caught up in my adolescent world to worry about helping others.
One particular summer day when I was 12, Mom came into my room and told me to get up and meet her at the car. But I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin everything? At last, I made my way outside with my mother. Angry and annoyed, I climbed into the car and shoot the door loudly. I sat in silence, too upset to talk. “Tasha, do you know where we are going?” Mom asked calmly. I remained silent. “Sweetheart, we’re going to the children’s shelter. I have been there before and I think it would benefit you,” she explained.
I feel a pain slowly form in my stomach. How was I supposed to help there?
When we reached the shelter, I was rather surprised. As we approached the front door, wind bells played a calming tune while trees and flowers welcomed us. Maybe this wasn’t going to be so.
Mom rang the doorbell. We were led to the front room, where all of the children were playing. Toys were spread out across the floor. I noticed a baby whose body was seriously wounded. Most of the children had noticeable physical scars such as cuts, burns and scratches. What a terrible life they must had had before they moved here! My heart sank. As I was looking around, I felt a gentle pull on my shirt.
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。
I looked down to find a little girl with brown eyes looking up at me.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I returned to the shelter with mum several times.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I looked down to see a little girl with brown eyes looking up at me. Her angelic face lighted, although there were some scars on her little arms. “Hi. I’m Ashley. Do you want to play dolls with me?” she asked. I looked over and saw Mom nodding to me with a smile. I bent toward Ashley and whispered, “Sure. I’d love to.” Her tiny hand reached up and took mine, and we walked toward the doll house. Our time together brought her great joy and fun and she also made my day.
I returned to the sheer with Mom several times. During those visits, some of the children including Ashley shared their troubled pasts with me in great detail. I felt sorry for what had happened to them and treasured the friendship between us. I would like to do everything in my power to help the children there. At the same time, I learned to be grateful for all that I had. It was a meaningful time in my young life that I will never forget. It was Mom who taught me the valuable lesson that summer.
