At our library, we’re always looking for engaging ways to connect young readers with our collections — especially during the summer. This year, our Youth Services team brought a classic game to life with a scavenger hunt (寻宝游戏) program. This Scavenger Hunt: Level Up Your Reading event connects directly to our Summer Reading Program’s theme: Level Up!
Our goal is to create an experience that is both fun and accessible. We design it to include opportunities for exploration and discovery. We created a self-paced, interactive program activity that encourages kids to navigate our library space and learn more about what we offer. It is available throughout the entire month of June, giving families enough time to join the fun on their own schedule.
We offer two distinct levels to better serve a wide age range:
Level 1 (Preschool-Grade 2) :
Younger children search for amusing game characters in the Youth Services Department. This level uses colorful markers to stimulate curiosity without requiring reading skills. Characters are hidden near collections like Playaways and Binge Boxes, helping kids and caregivers discover new areas.
Level 2 (Grades 3-6) :
Older children participate in a more advanced version of the scavenger hunt. They not only. locate each character but also answer a challenge question at every stop. These questions help introduce them to different library collections like world languages, nonfiction, and graphic novels. This promotes deeper engagement and informal learning.
The scavenger hunt helps families explore more of what the library has to offer. Kids and caregivers turn it into a shared experience filled with curiosity and conversation.
1. What is the main purpose of the scavenger hunt?
A. To promote summer reading. B. To raise funds for the library.
C. To emphasize service sense. D. To organize competitive games.
2. Which of the following best describes the library’s approach to the scavenger hunt?
A. Competitive and challenging. B. Teacher-led and structured.
C. Self-guided and family-friendly. D. Technology-driven and entertaining.
3. What distinguishes Level 2 from Level 1?
A. The task of finding characters. B. The focus on formal learning.
C. The involvement of caregivers. D. The demand for reading abilities.
B
As a hospital-based physician, I often treat patients with severe chronic (慢性的) illnesses. These conditions not only consume their physical energy but also disconnect them from the activities that make them feel alive. Such was the case with Mr. T., a 67-year-old man I recently cared for at Alta Bates Summit Medical Center in Oakland, California.
“Living with kidney (肾) failure is exhausting,” he told me. “My life moves around dialysis (透析) , and some days I wonder if I can keep going.” His words carried weight — he had been admitted to the hospital last month with shortness of breath after missing one of his three-times-a-week dialysis sessions.
Long-term health struggles often lead to the state of feeling alone, creating a cycle that worsens both physical health and quality of life. For years, I've sought to address this through what I call “Prescriptions for Health and Happiness” — written orders for simple joys like helping others, writing thank-you notes, singing in the shower, or walking in nature.
After reading a new book by journalist Julia Hotz, The Connection Cure: The Prescriptive Power of Movement, Nature, and Belonging, I believe more and more in the idea that our social activities and community engagement are crucial for our health—not only for my patients but also for all of us.
As for Mr. T., I posed a question central to this approach: “We've talked about your medical challenges, but now I want to know: What brings you joy? ” Emphasizing that pursuing passions is key to wellness, I encouraged him to reconnect with the world. He shared, “I've always loved music. ” When I suggested joining a choir, his eyes lit up: “I used to sing all the time! The idea of starting again…that's actually exciting. ”
I, too, was excited by that patient visit and excited later that week when I had the opportunity to talk to Julia Hotz about her book on the social cure movement and how it is growing and evolving around the world.
4. What caused Mr. T.'s being in hospital last month?
A. Skipping a dialysis session. B. Refusing regular dialysis.
C. Missing an exercise session. D. Living with kidney failure.
5. Why does the author advocate “Prescriptions for Health and Happiness”?
A. To encourage physical exercise. B. To reduce reliance on medicine.
C. To replace old medical treatment. D. To address patients’ emotional needs.
6. How would Mr. T.'s condition most probably change after joining the choir?
A. He fully recovered from his illness. B. He regained a sense of purpose in life.
C. He didn't need dialysis to sustain life. D. He developed a new career in music.
7. What can we learn about the social cure movement?
A. It can cure severe illnesses. B. It has changed clinical methods.
C. It is gaining recognition globally. D. It is better than hospital treatment.
C
Every winter, salt emerges as a hero. Local officials spread it on streets and highways to keep traffic running, Since salt lowers the freezing point of water, it prevents ice from forming and making the roads dangerous. Now, it turns out it could also hold a way to keep your house safe and in great shape, too — all you need to do is place bowls of salt by the windows.
The enemies in sight here are damp and mold (霉菌) which can make their way into your house through the windows. When temperatures drop, and one side of the glass is colder than the other, small drops of water form. Since you’re likely to be heating your home, the warm air encounters the cold surface and cools down, releasing the moisture (水分) it contains and turning it into small drops. These drops can then run down and make things wet, creating the perfect conditions for mold.
This recommendation to leave bowls by your windows first started making rounds in the UK. The concept is simple: Salt absorbs moisture from the air. Simply fill a shallow bowl or a small jar with some salt — this can be table salt or rock salt. The amount you use will vary, depending on the size of the window you’re placing it next to. Of course, generally speaking, the larger the window the more salt you’ll need.
However, the salt shouldn’t be left alone to do all the work. After all, salt only begins to absorb moisture at relatively high humidity (湿度). To really deal with the problem, the circulation of air is key. You can simply open the window to let the air flow. If your bathroom has an air exchange fan, turning it on after a shower can help a lot. Airflow helps to prevent water drops from building up on the cold surface, to a great extent, preventing you from needing to place bowls of salt by the windows.
8. Why are bowls of salt advised to put by the windows in winter?
A. To decorate the house. B. To prevent mold growth.
C. To keep windows clean. D. To make the room wetter.
9. What can be inferred about using salt bowls from paragraph 3?
A. The British are forced to do so. B. Larger bowls are always better.
C. It is a more affordable method. D. The salt should be in proper amount.
10. What does the underlined word “circulation” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Quality. B. Composition. C. Flow. D. Stability.
11. What is the author’s opinion on placing bowls of salt by the windows?
A. It is useless and wasteful. B. It should be regarded as an aid.
C. It is convenient for household. D. Its actual effect remains unknown.
D
You jerk(猛然一动)awake in the middle of the night in confusion. Is there a figure standing in the corner of the room? Your brain begs your legs to move, but nothing happens. The anxiety increases. Your eyes scan the room. Just as you’re about to hit peak panic, you sit up and the figure disappears.
You’ve just experienced sleep paralysis(瘫痪), which is the name experts give to all sorts of weird things that occur during sleep. It happens when the brain temporarily disables the body to prevent it from acting out the vivid dreams occurring during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. It often comes with a feeling of immobility, and a sense of choking. The good news is, it’s absolutely normal, even if it’s terrifying.
But when sleep paralysis happens outside of deep sleep—when a person is just dozing off—it can be “disruptive of the architecture of sleep,” said Baland Jalal, a researcher who investigates the phenomenon. That could lead to more sleep paralysis.
While not everyone who has sleep paralysis experiences hallucinations(幻觉), seeing a person or a ghost in the room is the most common vision, said Jalal. The mechanisms behind sleep paralysis remain unclear, but research indicates that certain risk factors may increase the likelihood of experiencing a jerk, including extreme exercise before sleep, inadequate sleep, emotional stress and worry, and excessive stimulant consumption (like caffeine and nicotine), especially later in the day.
“For most people, it is not indicative of any kind of disease. If you are really worried about it, regular sleep and other simple relaxation techniques, like meditation, deep breathing and yoga, may help,” said Dr. Nathaniel Watson, president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. While the experience feels frightening, the episodes last only a few seconds or minutes at most. Most people slip out of it as quickly as they fell into it, he said.
12. What is sleep paralysis?
A. A frightening dream that interrupts sleep.
B. A physical symptom of anxiety disorders.
C. A mental disease that affects sleep quality.
D. A brief state of being conscious but frozen.
13. What do people who have sleep paralysis often experience?
A. Involuntary cough. B. Unreal sensation.
C. Sharpened vision. D. Sustained immobility.
14. What does Dr. Nathaniel Watson say about sleep paralysis?
A. It is caused by inadequate sleep. B. It can be a warning signal of diseases.
C. It is a temporary disturbing experience. D. It can be prevented by extreme exercise.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Common Myths About Sleep Paralysis
B. Sleep Paralysis: How It Affects Sleep Patterns
C. Ways to Prevent and Cope with Sleep Paralysis
D. Sleep Paralysis: Why We Jerk Awake and Can’t Move

It was a hot day in New York City. I had brunch with a friend and picked up my new glasses. All done and headed back on the train. I wanted to yell at a couple of people for their rude behavior, but wisely just sat quietly.
An old black gentleman entered the far end of the train car. In worn but neat clothes, he tipped his faded cap and greeted everyone with a warm “Good afternoon, folks.” Most ignored him, with cold blank faces. Then, he started to sing. I didn’t turn my head, but I felt a smile in my soul. Many people ask for money on the train, but I always feel happy when someone offers music instead. It feels like a gift.
I let the notes settle in for a second before my eyes wandered. A young boy across from me, maybe ten, watched him, swaying (摇摆) to the rhythm, his mother too distracted by her phone to notice.
He started his second song and my heart did a happy dance. “Lean on me, when you’re not strong. I’ll be your friend...” I love that song! Without thinking, I softly sang a little harmony with him. Right away, I decided he could have the $5 bill in my purse.
He looked tall and thin, but he had a strong voice and kind energy. Life had clearly been hard for him, but he still stood tall and carried himself with quiet dignity.
I rolled the bill tightly and waited for him to make his way to me. He held the overhead bar to steady himself as he inched down the car, pausing briefly beside each seat like he was waiting for a sign — though no one glanced up. No one was making any moves to give him coins or reach for their wallet.
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。
Paragraph 1: Somehow, he noticed me singing along.

As a hospital-based physician, I often treat patients with severe chronic (慢性的) illnesses. These conditions not only consume their physical energy but also disconnect them from the activities that make them feel alive. Such was the case with Mr. T., a 67-year-old man I recently cared for at Alta Bates Summit Medical Center in Oakland, California.
“Living with kidney (肾) failure is exhausting,” he told me. “My life moves around dialysis (透析) , and some days I wonder if I can keep going.” His words carried weight — he had been admitted to the hospital last month with shortness of breath after missing one of his three-times-a-week dialysis sessions.
Long-term health struggles often lead to the state of feeling alone, creating a cycle that worsens both physical health and quality of life. For years, I've sought to address this through what I call “Prescriptions for Health and Happiness” — written orders for simple joys like helping others, writing thank-you notes, singing in the shower, or walking in nature.
After reading a new book by journalist Julia Hotz, The Connection Cure: The Prescriptive Power of Movement, Nature, and Belonging, I believe more and more in the idea that our social activities and community engagement are crucial for our health—not only for my patients but also for all of us.
As for Mr. T., I posed a question central to this approach: “We've talked about your medical challenges, but now I want to know: What brings you joy? ” Emphasizing that pursuing passions is key to wellness, I encouraged him to reconnect with the world. He shared, “I've always loved music. ” When I suggested joining a choir, his eyes lit up: “I used to sing all the time! The idea of starting again…that's actually exciting. ”
I, too, was excited by that patient visit and excited later that week when I had the opportunity to talk to Julia Hotz about her book on the social cure movement and how it is growing and evolving around the world.
4. What caused Mr. T.'s being in hospital last month?
A. Skipping a dialysis session. B. Refusing regular dialysis.
C. Missing an exercise session. D. Living with kidney failure.
5. Why does the author advocate “Prescriptions for Health and Happiness”?
A. To encourage physical exercise. B. To reduce reliance on medicine.
C. To replace old medical treatment. D. To address patients’ emotional needs.
6. How would Mr. T.'s condition most probably change after joining the choir?
A. He fully recovered from his illness. B. He regained a sense of purpose in life.
C. He didn't need dialysis to sustain life. D. He developed a new career in music.
7. What can we learn about the social cure movement?
A. It can cure severe illnesses. B. It has changed clinical methods.
C. It is gaining recognition globally. D. It is better than hospital treatment.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为记叙文,介绍一名医生在治疗重症慢性病患者的过程中倡导情感治愈。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段尾句中“His words carried weight — he had been admitted to the hospital last month with shortness of breath after missing one of his three-times-a-week dialysis sessions. (他的话很有分量——上个月,他因为错过了每周三次的透析治疗中的一次而呼吸急促住进了医院。)”可知,Mr. T.因错过一回每周三次的定期透析治疗后出现呼吸急促而住院。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。文章第三段“Long-term health struggles often lead to the state of feeling alone, creating a cycle that worsens both physical health and quality of life. For years, I've sought to address this through what I call “Prescriptions for Health and Happiness” (长期的健康斗争往往会导致孤独感,形成一个恶性循环,使身体健康和生活质量都恶化。多年来,我一直试图通过我所谓的“健康和快乐的处方”来解决这个问题)”可知,作者倡导这个方法的目的是解决患者因长期疾病导致的情感孤独。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。文章第五段“As for Mr. T., I posed a question central to this approach: “We've talked about your medical challenges, but now I want to know: What brings you joy? ” Emphasizing that pursuing passions is key to wellness, I encouraged him to reconnect with the world. He shared, “I've always loved music. ” When I suggested joining a choir, his eyes lit up: “I used to sing all the time! The idea of starting again…that's actually exciting. ”(至于Mr. T.,我提出了一个问题,这个问题是这种方式的核心:“我们已经讨论了你的医疗挑战,但现在我想知道:什么给你带来了快乐?”我强调追求激情是健康的关键,并鼓励他与世界重新建立联系。他说:“我一直很喜欢音乐。”当我建议他加入唱诗班时,他的眼睛亮了起来:“我以前一直在唱歌!重新开始的想法……这真的很令人兴奋。”)” 可推断,通过重新参与自己喜爱的活动,他很可能重新获得生活的目标感。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I, too, was excited by that patient visit and excited later that week when I had the opportunity to talk to Julia Hotz about her book on the social cure movement and how it is growing and evolving around the world.(我对病人的拜访也很兴奋,那周晚些时候,我有机会和Julia Hotz谈论她关于社会治疗运动的书,以及它是如何在世界范围内发展和演变的。)”可知,社会治疗运动正在全球范围内发展和演变,意味着其正在获得越来越多的认可。故选C。
C
Every winter, salt emerges as a hero. Local officials spread it on streets and highways to keep traffic running, Since salt lowers the freezing point of water, it prevents ice from forming and making the roads dangerous. Now, it turns out it could also hold a way to keep your house safe and in great shape, too — all you need to do is place bowls of salt by the windows.
The enemies in sight here are damp and mold (霉菌) , which can make their way into your house through the windows. When temperatures drop, and one side of the glass is colder than the other, small drops of water form. Since you’re likely to be heating your home, the warm air encounters the cold surface and cools down, releasing the moisture (水分) it contains and turning it into small drops. These drops can then run down and make things wet, creating the perfect conditions for mold.
This recommendation to leave bowls by your windows first started making rounds in the UK. The concept is simple: Salt absorbs moisture from the air. Simply fill a shallow bowl or a small jar with some salt — this can be table salt or rock salt. The amount you use will vary, depending on the size of the window you’re placing it next to. Of course, generally speaking, the larger the window the more salt you’ll need.
However, the salt shouldn’t be left alone to do all the work. After all, salt only begins to absorb moisture at relatively high humidity (湿度). To really deal with the problem, the circulation of air is key. You can simply open the window to let the air flow. If your bathroom has an air exchange fan, turning it on after a shower can help a lot. Airflow helps to prevent water drops from building up on the cold surface, to a great extent, preventing you from needing to place bowls of salt by the windows.
8. Why are bowls of salt advised to put by the windows in winter?
A. To decorate the house. B. To prevent mold growth.
C. To keep windows clean. D. To make the room wetter.
9. What can be inferred about using salt bowls from paragraph 3?
A. The British are forced to do so. B. Larger bowls are always better.
C. It is a more affordable method. D. The salt should be in proper amount.
10. What does the underlined word “circulation” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Quality. B. Composition. C. Flow. D. Stability.
11. What is the author’s opinion on placing bowls of salt by the windows?
A. It is useless and wasteful. B. It should be regarded as an aid.
C. It is convenient for household. D. Its actual effect remains unknown.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在冬天,盐能防止霉菌滋生,人们可以在窗户边放上几碗盐来吸收空气中的水分,但盐不能单独发挥作用,空气流通才是关键。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The enemies in sight here are damp and mold (霉菌) , which can make their way into your house through the windows. When temperatures drop, and one side of the glass is colder than the other, small drops of water form. Since you're likely to be heating your home, the warm air encounters the cold surface and cools down, releasing the moisture (水分) it contains and turning it into small drops. These drops can then run down and make things wet, creating the perfect conditions for mold. (这里的敌人是潮湿和霉菌,它们可以通过窗户进入你的房子。当温度下降,玻璃的一侧比另一侧冷时,就会形成小水滴。因为你可能会给家里供暖,温暖的空气遇到寒冷的表面就会冷却下来,释放出其中所含的水分,变成小水滴。这些水滴会流下来,把东西弄湿,为霉菌创造了完美的生长条件。)”以及第三段“The concept is simple: Salt absorbs moisture from the air. Simply fill a shallow bowl or a small jar with some salt — this can be table salt or rock salt. (这个概念很简单:盐从空气中吸收水分。只需在一个浅碗或小罐子里装满一些盐——可以是食盐或岩盐。)”可知,冬天时窗户玻璃因温差会凝结水滴,这些水滴会使窗框周围潮湿,为霉菌滋生创造理想条件。而放置盐碗的目的正是解决潮湿问题,进而防止霉菌生长。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The concept is simple: Salt absorbs moisture from the air. Simply fill a shallow bowl or a small jar with some salt — this can be table salt or rock salt. The amount you use will vary, depending on the size of the window you’re placing it next to. Of course, generally speaking, the larger the window the more salt you’ll need. (这个概念很简单:盐从空气中吸收水分。只需在一个浅碗或小罐子里装满一些盐——可以是食盐或岩盐。使用的量会根据你放在旁边的窗户的大小而有所不同。当然,一般来说,窗户越大,你需要的盐就越多)”可知,使用的盐的量会根据窗户的大小而有所不同,由此可推知,盐的使用量要适当。故选D项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“You can simply open the window to let the air flow. If your bathroom has an air exchange fan, turning it on after a shower can help a lot. (你可以简单地打开窗户让空气流通。如果你的浴室有换气扇,洗澡后打开它会有很大帮助。)”可知,本段主要讲述的是空气流通,由此可推知,划线单词circulation指的是空气的“流动”。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, the salt shouldn’t be left alone to do all the work. After all, salt only begins to absorb moisture at relatively high humidity (湿度) . To really deal with the problem, the circulation of air is key. You can simply open the window to let the air flow. If your bathroom has an air exchange fan, turning it on after a shower can help a lot. Airflow helps to prevent water drops from building up on the cold surface, to a great extent, preventing you from needing to place bowls of salt by the windows. (然而,盐不应该被单独留下来做所有的工作。毕竟,盐只在相对较高的湿度下才开始吸收水分。要真正解决这个问题,空气流通是关键。你可以简单地打开窗户让空气流通。如果你的浴室有换气扇,洗澡后打开它会有很大帮助。气流有助于防止水滴在冷表面堆积,在很大程度上,防止你需要在窗户旁放几碗盐。)”可知,作者认为盐不能单独发挥作用,空气流通才是关键,由此可推知,作者认为在窗户旁放几碗盐应该被视为一种辅助手段。故选B项。
D
You jerk(猛然一动)awake in the middle of the night in confusion. Is there a figure standing in the corner of the room? Your brain begs your legs to move, but nothing happens. The anxiety increases. Your eyes scan the room. Just as you’re about to hit peak panic, you sit up and the figure disappears.
You’ve just experienced sleep paralysis(瘫痪), which is the name experts give to all sorts of weird things that occur during sleep. It happens when the brain temporarily disables the body to prevent it from acting out the vivid dreams occurring during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. It often comes with a feeling of immobility, and a sense of choking. The good news is, it’s absolutely normal, even if it’s terrifying.
But when sleep paralysis happens outside of deep sleep—when a person is just dozing off—it can be “disruptive of the architecture of sleep,” said Baland Jalal, a researcher who investigates the phenomenon. That could lead to more sleep paralysis.
While not everyone who has sleep paralysis experiences hallucinations(幻觉), seeing a person or a ghost in the room is the most common vision, said Jalal. The mechanisms behind sleep paralysis remain unclear, but research indicates that certain risk factors may increase the likelihood of experiencing a jerk, including extreme exercise before sleep, inadequate sleep, emotional stress and worry, and excessive stimulant consumption (like caffeine and nicotine), especially later in the day.
“For most people, it is not indicative of any kind of disease. If you are really worried about it, regular sleep and other simple relaxation techniques, like meditation, deep breathing and yoga, may help,” said Dr. Nathaniel Watson, president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. While the experience feels frightening, the episodes last only a few seconds or minutes at most. Most people slip out of it as quickly as they fell into it, he said.
12. What is sleep paralysis?
A. A frightening dream that interrupts sleep.
B. A physical symptom of anxiety disorders.
C. A mental disease that affects sleep quality.
D. A brief state of being conscious but frozen.
13. What do people who have sleep paralysis often experience?
A. Involuntary cough. B. Unreal sensation.
C. Sharpened vision. D. Sustained immobility.
14. What does Dr. Nathaniel Watson say about sleep paralysis?
A. It is caused by inadequate sleep. B. It can be a warning signal of diseases.
C. It is a temporary disturbing experience. D. It can be prevented by extreme exercise.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Common Myths About Sleep Paralysis
B. Sleep Paralysis: How It Affects Sleep Patterns
C. Ways to Prevent and Cope with Sleep Paralysis
D. Sleep Paralysis: Why We Jerk Awake and Can’t Move
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. D

【19题详解】
空处为本段小标题。下文“It might also help to keep in mind that even though the adults in your life can seem all-knowing, they’re actually just ordinary people with strengths and weaknesses. (记住,尽管你生活中的成年人看起来无所不知,但他们实际上只是普通人,有长处也有弱点)”指出成年人也有弱点,由此可知,“你”应该理解他们并与他们共同成长。选项B “和父母一起成长”既涵盖“父母是普通人(也需学习)”,又呼应下文“Remember that your parents are learning, too!(记住,你的父母也在学习!)”。故选B。
【20题详解】
上文“It might also help to keep in mind that even though the adults in your life can seem all-knowing, they’re actually just ordinary people with strengths and weaknesses.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了明长城的兴衰历史。
【36题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:直到 1368 年明朝建立之时,我们所熟知的中国长城才得以建成。build(建造)与主语the Great Wall of China之间为被动关系,所以应用被动语态,根据时间状语“until the rise of the Ming Dynasty in 1368”可知,应用一般过去时的被动语态,谓语用单数。故填was built。
【37题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:明朝不得不应对来自众多少数民族部落的多次侵袭,因此对城墙进行了大规模的扩建。根据上文a great number of可知用名词复数形式作宾语。故填attacks。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:明长城的规模和复杂程度都超过了以往所有的长城。作主语,用名词complexity,不可数。故填complexity。
【39题详解】
考查时态。句意:这个王朝不仅延长了城墙的长度,还在某些地方增建了多层城墙,以加固原有的建筑结构,并迷惑攻击者。Not only置于句首,此处为部分倒装,结合后文added可知为一般过去时,用助动词did。故填did。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这个王朝不仅延长了城墙的长度,还在某些地方增建了多层城墙,以加固原有的建筑结构,并迷惑攻击者。根据句意可知,此处strengthen作目的状语,应用不定式形式,故填to strengthen。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:事实上,在很多地方,这堵墙的顶部宽度足以让人在上面开车,平均宽度达到了令人惊叹的6.7米。average与主语the wall之间为主动关系,所以应用现在分词形式,作状语,故填averaging。
【42题详解】
考查状语从句。句意:尽管这堵墙有着相当可观的长度和宽度,但从外太空却看不到它,这与过去人们的看法恰恰相反。引导让步状语从句,表示“尽管”用although、though或while,首字母大写。故填Although/Though/While。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:如果这是真的的话,那些主要的高速公路也会被看到——许多高速公路的覆盖总面积比长城还要大得多。根据上文much larger可知为比较级,用介词than。故填than。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在明朝时期,长城的修建工作一直持续进行并且成果显著,直到17世纪,它才再也无法抵御满族人的攻势。此处carry与Construction构成被动关系,故用过去分词作定语,故填carried。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:这场政权更迭事件推翻了明朝,建立了清朝,最终也终结了长城长达两千多年的漫长发展历程。修饰动词短语put an end用副词ultimately。故填ultimately。

【答案】
The Spiritual Power from Helen Keller
Among all the characters in my senior English textbook, Helen Keller stands out most, whose spiritual power has deeply influenced me. Born blind and deaf, Helen faced unimaginable hardships, but she never gave up. With the guidance of her teacher Anne Sullivan, she mastered reading, writing and even speaking, showing extraordinary perseverance and optimism.
Her story hit home when I struggled with my English exam last term. I failed twice and almost quit but Helen’s image popped into my mind — if she could overcome far greater difficulties, why couldn’t I? I started spending an extra hour each day practicing listening and writing and asked my teacher for help regularly. Finally, I got a B+ in the final exam.
Helen taught me that no obstacle is insurmountable as long as we hold fast to hope and keep trying. This power will keep pushing me forward in my study and life.

第二节 (满分 25 分)
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。
It was a hot day in New York City. I had brunch with a friend and picked up my new glasses. All done and headed back on the train. I wanted to yell at a couple of people for their rude behavior, but wisely just sat quietly.
An old black gentleman entered the far end of the train car. In worn but neat clothes, he tipped his faded cap and greeted everyone with a warm “Good afternoon, folks.” Most ignored him, with cold blank faces. Then, he started to sing. I didn’t turn my head, but I felt a smile in my soul. Many people ask for money on the train, but I always feel happy when someone offers music instead. It feels like a gift.
I let the notes settle in for a second before my eyes wandered. A young boy across from me, maybe ten, watched him, swaying (摇摆) to the rhythm, his mother too distracted by her phone to notice.
He started his second song and my heart did a happy dance. “Lean on me, when you’re not strong. I’ll be your friend...” I love that song! Without thinking, I softly sang a little harmony with him. Right away, I decided he could have the $5 bill in my purse.
He looked tall and thin, but he had a strong voice and kind energy. Life had clearly been hard for him, but he still stood tall and carried himself with quiet dignity.
I rolled the bill tightly and waited for him to make his way to me. He held the overhead bar to steady himself as he inched down the car, pausing briefly beside each seat like he was waiting for a sign — though no one glanced up. No one was making any moves to give him coins or reach for their wallet.
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。
Paragraph 1: Somehow, he noticed me singing along.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: It was still hot and sticky inside the car, but something had changed.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Somehow, he noticed me singing along. He looked up and slowly walked toward me, his eyes shining with surprise and warmth. I slipped the rolled bill into his rough hand, and he gave me a grateful nod. Then, leaning closer, he whispered, “Sing with me, sister.” Without hesitation, I joined him. Our voices blended, his strong and soulful, mine soft but steady. For a moment, the crowded train car felt like a tiny concert hall, filled not with heat and impatience, but with harmony.
It was still hot and sticky inside the car, but something had changed. One by one, passengers lifted their heads, listening. The young boy’s swaying turned into clapping, his laughter breaking through the dull silence. A few others began humming along, and even his mother put down her phone. When the song ended, coins and bills appeared in the man’s cap from every direction. He stood taller, pride glowing in his smile, and I felt a quiet joy — proof that even in a weary city, music could open hearts and bring strangers together.
【解析】
