A
Four Cool Ice-climbing Destinations
Ouray Ice Park
Located in the San Juan Mountain Range is the site of the largest ice climbing festival in North America, held every January. Climbers first discovered the walls of ice 25 years ago. In the early 1990s, the change of local water sources created more routes, putting Ouray on the climbing map for good. Ouray Ice Park, a mile-long climbing venue built in the Uncompahgre Gorge, opened in the winter of 1994, and the Ouray Ice Festival celebrated its first season two years later. Ouray Ice Park has 11 climbing areas with more than 100 human-made ice and mixed climbs.
Kandersteg
Dramatic Swiss Alps scenery dominates Kandersteg, a farming village in the Bernese Oberland. Different winter sporting opportunities on offer, including skating, alpine and cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, tobogganing, and curling, make it a well-rounded destination for those who might like to try ice climbing among other activities. The mountains offer challenging longer climbs. Gasternal, a wilder corner of the Alps, is more popular with experienced ice climbers.
Frankenstein Cliff
Frankenstein Cliff is an ice-climbing destination in Crawford Notch State Park in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. This area offers a variety of different routes, from beginner challenges to multipitch routes that only the most skilled dare to attempt. Though consistency varies, there are numerous options—but only between December and March. Mountain Project, a global virtual climbing guidebook, lists more than 30 ice (or mixed) routes at Frankenstein Cliff.
Matanuska Glacier (冰川)
The 108-square-mile frozen mass in Alaska is the US’s largest glacier accessible by car. Located just off the Glenn Highway, about 100 miles from Anchorage, Matanuska is a favorite of tour guides because it has a number of short ice walls for beginner climbers. There are also challenging walls on Matanuska. Actually, the whole glacier is climbable, so experienced athletes can set up routes just about anywhere for a challenge of their choice.
1. When did the Ouray Ice Festival start?
A. In 1990. B. In 1992. C. In 1994. D. In 1996.
2. What does Kandersteg provide for visitors?
A. Opportunities to run farms. B. An escape from country life.
C. Multiple winter sporting choices. D. A global virtual climbing guidebook.
3. What do Frankenstein Cliff and Matanuska Glacier have in common?
A. They welcome ice climbers of different levels.
B. Their routes are limited to experienced athletes.
C. They are inaccessible from December to March.
D. Their tour guides offer free ice-climbing courses.
B
When he first walked into a dark theater to watch “O Trapahão nas Minas do Rei Salomão”, a 1977 Brazilian comedy that remains one of the country’s biggest box office hits, 6-year-old Carlos Costa thought, “Someday, I’ll have a movie theater of my own.”
In 2022, Costa opened Cine LT3, a 35-seat cinema in São Paulo. He spent his savings turning an old garage into a movie theater. Where cars once stood, there are now tables and chairs where moviegoers can wait for their sessions, along with a small counter where he sells popcorn, snacks, soft drinks and wine. There’s also a small box office where he sells tickets to walk-ins. To buy in advance, customers send him a message to reserve directly.
“The movie theater is just me, for I can’t afford an employee,” Costa said. “But I think that’s part of the appeal. I know the regulars by name, and that’s what makes this place different.”
Cine LT3 has established itself as a small attraction for film lovers, slowly building a loyal neighborhood community with programming that stands apart from the city’s multiplexes (多映厅影院). Costa selects the lineup of his independent theater himself, focusing on art-house titles from Brazil and abroad.
For 63-year-old Maída Alves, a regular at Cine LT3, the venue holds deep emotional value. Having witnessed many collective spaces emptying out, she sees Costa’s theater as a rare common ground. She also said, “I see Costa selling tickets, making popcorn, cleaning, running the film and answering the phone. It shows how you have to take initiative to pursue a dream.”
Costa often hears people question his decisions. While he admits the work is challenging, he is happy doing it. He loves cinema, just like Toto in his favorite movie, “Cinema Paradiso”. The character bonds with a local cinema projectionist (放映员) and, through that relationship, develops a lifelong devotion to movies. Costa sees his own life in Toto’s story and believes movies have the power to transform people.
4. What can be learned from the first two paragraphs?
A. Cine LT3 is luxuriously equipped.
B. Costa fell in love with films in 2022.
C. Tickets for Cine LT3 sell out quickly.
D. Costa’s childhood dream has come true.
5. How did Costa run Cine LT3?
A. By working on his own. B. By employing some regulars.
C. By receiving online donations. D. By cooperating with multiplexes.
6. Which word best describes Maída Alves’s feeling concerning Costa?
A. Regret. B. Worry. C. Admiration. D. Indifference.
7. Why does Toto impress Costa?
A. He is transformed by Costa’s cinema.
B. He shares the same passion for movies.
C. He gets inspiration from “Cinema Paradiso”.
D. He tends to rise to life challenges bravely.
C
In the vast digital landscape, the humble “like” has become a common currency. Whether it’s a heart, a thumbs-up, or an upvote on social media, these tiny affirmations (肯定) hold an invisible power over us. We carefully check notifications, craft posts for maximum engagement, and even feel disappointed when our content doesn’t perform as expected. But why do we, as humans, care so deeply about these digital signals?
At the most basic level, getting a “like” stimulates the release of neurochemicals in our brains, most notably dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure, motivation, and reward. When we receive positive social feedback like a digital “like”, our brains interpret it as a reward, reinforcing (强化) the behavior that led to it.
In ancestral groups, individuals who were strong and skilled hunters, good storytellers, or caring caregivers would garner respect and influence. This brought enormous benefits; better access to resources, more desirable mates, and a greater say in group decisions. Also, human survival depended almost entirely on cooperation within groups. Being accepted, valued, and integrated into a community was important.
From this perspective, behaviors that helped to build social bonding and get acceptance were heavily favored by natural selection. Our brains long for social approval because, historically, it literally meant the difference between life and death.
On social media, “likes” signal that our ideas, appearance, or humor are valued by others. They indicate that we are contributing positively to the “digital community” and are worthy of attention. The more “likes” we get, the more visible and seemingly influential we become, which means the real-world benefits of high social standing.
While our longing for “likes” is rooted in ancient, beneficial evolutionary mechanisms, the digital environment can take advantage of these urges. Unlike real-world social interactions, digital “likes” offer instant, quantifiable acknowledgement. This can lead to addiction, anxiety and comparison, and performative living. Therefore, we have to remind ourselves that while a digital “like” can feel good, true well-being still depends on genuine human connection beyond the screen.
8. What will happen to those getting “likes” for their posts?
A. They will reward other posters. B. Their behavior will be monitored.
C. They feel encouraged to post again. D. Their dopamine will drop sharply.
9. What does the underlined word “garner” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Explain. B. Gain. C. Value. D. Estimate.
10. What is the author’s opinion on real-world social interactions?
A. They prove a digital “like” harmless. B. They can lead to performative living.
C. They are related to instant recognition. D. They help to build beneficial bonds.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why Do We Like Digital “Likes”? B. Online Affirmations Have Two Sides
C. How Our Brain’s Reward System Works D. Do We Deserve “Likes” on Social Media?
D
Most Californians are accustomed to experiencing earthquakes, but researchers warn that the state faces a lesser-known danger: supershear earthquakes, which move so quickly that they outrun their own seismic (地震的) waves.
“While California is no more likely to have supershear earthquakes than other similar regions with large fault (断层) systems like the San Andreas, the threat has gone unnoticed for too long,” said Yehuda Ben-Zion, director of the Statewide California Earthquake Center (SCEC), based at USC Dornsife. “The frequency of the supershear rupture (超剪切破裂) has been greatly underappreciated.”
“Just as a plane outpacing sound generates a powerful shockwave in the atmosphere, a supershear rupture creates shock fronts in the ground once it surpasses the speed of seismic shear waves,” said Ahmed Elbanna, director-designate of SCEC. “It breaks the shear wave speed barrier in the rocks and produces destructive waves that are stronger than what’s generated by a normal earthquake.”
This additional force can strike communities with severe impact. Supershear quakes not only spread intense shaking over larger regions but also deliver what Elbanna describes as a “double strike”—a sharp shake from the shock front followed by the seismic waves.
Worldwide, about one-third of large strike-slip earthquakes are supershear. That matters in California, where many faults near large urban areas are strike-slip and capable of magnitude 7 earthquakes. “We cannot say exactly when and where the next earthquake will be and which one will be supershear,” Ben-Zion said, “but we can say with certainty that over the next few decades, we will have multiple magnitude 7 earthquakes in California.”
The researchers warn that current design standards don’t fully account for a supershear quake’s extra hit. Buildings are generally engineered for the strongest shaking perpendicular to (垂直于) faults, but supershear quakes direct their energy along the fault line itself. “Critical structures should be built to this higher standard, and so far, they are not,” Ben-Zion said.
The researchers also call for closer monitoring near major faults and advanced computer predictions on supershear situations. “This is where everybody has to contribute,” Elbanna said.
12. Why did Elbanna mention a plane in paragraph 3?
A. To make a prediction. B. To redefine a concept.
C. To explain a phenomenon. D. To show destructive impact.
13. What do Ben-Zion’s words in paragraph 5 suggest?
A. Most cities in California are free of earthquakes.
B. California is bound to experience big earthquakes.
C. Supershear earthquakes are rarely seen worldwide.
D. It’s easy to predict and identify supershear earthquakes.
14. What can be known about current buildings?
A. They can fall victim to supershear earthquakes.
B. They fully absorb the energy of supershear ruptures.
C. They can easily be destroyed by normal earthquakes.
D. They don’t account for the shaking perpendicular to faults.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To issue a warning about common earthquakes.
B. To offer tips on analyzing a lesser-known danger.
C. To explore California’s earthquake-stricken areas.
D. To call for preparations for supershear earthquakes.

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。
Last summer, I worked at a small restaurant, where the light was dim (昏暗) in the evening, to save money for my college life. Sally, a waitress, had been training me.
One afternoon, I was cleaning the tables for the dinner shift when my manager, Teri Jo, came up to me. “I know you are still learning, but it’s going to be just you, waiting tables, being the cashier and putting the dressings (酱) on the salads, and the one cook,” she said. “Sally just called in sick. My daughter is about to have my first grandbaby in the hospital, or else I’d be here.”
Teri Jo assured me I could handle everything and told me, “The salads are already made and in the front refrigerator. All the other dressings are there except the blue cheese, which is in a VAT (桶) on the floor of the big walk-in refrigerator past the kitchen.” I made a mental note of that, for the few diners who might want the blue cheese dressing on their salads.
Soon, the cook and I began our dinner shift. At first, some regulars came in for quick meals. After a while, one man I hadn’t seen before ordered the Cobb salad with the blue-cheese dressing.
I went to the back to look for the dressing in the large walk-in refrigerator. Thinking how clever I was, I filled a small bowl with some of the dressing and put it in the front refrigerator, where there was a bowl of something I later knew was pancake batter (面糊) just for lunch. That way, I wouldn’t have to go back to the walk-in refrigerator in the dim light again.
I put the mixture on the man’s Cobb salad. The man spoke highly of it after tasting it. Five more new customers overheard his words, ordered the same dressing and liked it. The six new customers promised to enjoy it again the next evening.
The night shift went smoothly. I thought the manager would praise me for what I had done, especially for saving extra steps for the blue-cheese dressing.
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。
The next day, when I went in for the lunch shift, I prepared myself for Teri Jo’s praise.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
My heart sank as Teri Jo continued, “I see a similar bowl full of the blue-cheese dressing beside the near-empty bowl of pancake batter.”

Four Cool Ice-climbing Destinations
Ouray Ice Park
Located in the San Juan Mountain Range is the site of the largest ice climbing festival in North America, held every January. Climbers first discovered the walls of ice 25 years ago. In the early 1990s, the change of local water sources created more routes, putting Ouray on the climbing map for good. Ouray Ice Park, a mile-long climbing venue built in the Uncompahgre Gorge, opened in the winter of 1994, and the Ouray Ice Festival celebrated its first season two years later. Ouray Ice Park has 11 climbing areas with more than 100 human-made ice and mixed climbs.
Kandersteg
Dramatic Swiss Alps scenery dominates Kandersteg, a farming village in the Bernese Oberland. Different winter sporting opportunities on offer, including skating, alpine and cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, tobogganing, and curling, make it a well-rounded destination for those who might like to try ice climbing among other activities. The mountains offer challenging longer climbs. Gasternal, a wilder corner of the Alps, is more popular with experienced ice climbers.
Frankenstein Cliff
Frankenstein Cliff is an ice-climbing destination in Crawford Notch State Park in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. This area offers a variety of different routes, from beginner challenges to multipitch routes that only the most skilled dare to attempt. Though consistency varies, there are numerous options—but only between December and March. Mountain Project, a global virtual climbing guidebook, lists more than 30 ice (or mixed) routes at Frankenstein Cliff.
Matanuska Glacier (冰川)
The 108-square-mile frozen mass in Alaska is the US’s largest glacier accessible by car. Located just off the Glenn Highway, about 100 miles from Anchorage, Matanuska is a favorite of tour guides because it has a number of short ice walls for beginner climbers. There are also challenging walls on Matanuska. Actually, the whole glacier is climbable, so experienced athletes can set up routes just about anywhere for a challenge of their choice.
1. When did the Ouray Ice Festival start?
A. In 1990. B. In 1992. C. In 1994. D. In 1996.
2. What does Kandersteg provide for visitors?
A. Opportunities to run farms. B. An escape from country life.
C. Multiple winter sporting choices. D. A global virtual climbing guidebook.
3. What do Frankenstein Cliff and Matanuska Glacier have in common?
A. They welcome ice climbers of different levels.
B. Their routes are limited to experienced athletes.
C. They are inaccessible from December to March.
D. Their tour guides offer free ice-climbing courses.

B
When he first walked into a dark theater to watch “O Trapahão nas Minas do Rei Salomão”, a 1977 Brazilian comedy that remains one of the country’s biggest box office hits, 6-year-old Carlos Costa thought, “Someday, I’ll have a movie theater of my own.”
In 2022, Costa opened Cine LT3, a 35-seat cinema in São Paulo. He spent his savings turning an old garage into a movie theater. Where cars once stood, there are now tables and chairs where moviegoers can wait for their sessions, along with a small counter where he sells popcorn, snacks, soft drinks and wine. There’s also a small box office where he sells tickets to walk-ins. To buy in advance, customers send him a message to reserve directly.
“The movie theater is just me, for I can’t afford an employee,” Costa said. “But I think that’s part of the appeal. I know the regulars by name, and that’s what makes this place different.”
Cine LT3 has established itself as a small attraction for film lovers, slowly building a loyal neighborhood community with programming that stands apart from the city’s multiplexes (多映厅影院). Costa selects the lineup of his independent theater himself, focusing on art-house titles from Brazil and abroad.
For 63-year-old Maída Alves, a regular at Cine LT3, the venue holds deep emotional value. Having witnessed many collective spaces emptying out, she sees Costa’s theater as a rare common ground. She also said, “I see Costa selling tickets, making popcorn, cleaning, running the film and answering the phone. It shows how you have to take initiative to pursue a dream.”
Costa often hears people question his decisions. While he admits the work is challenging, he is happy doing it. He loves cinema, just like Toto in his favorite movie, “Cinema Paradiso”. The character bonds with a local cinema projectionist (放映员) and, through that relationship, develops a lifelong devotion to movies. Costa sees his own life in Toto’s story and believes movies have the power to transform people.
4. What can be learned from the first two paragraphs?
A. Cine LT3 is luxuriously equipped.
B. Costa fell in love with films in 2022.
C. Tickets for Cine LT3 sell out quickly.
D. Costa’s childhood dream has come true.
5. How did Costa run Cine LT3?
A. By working on his own. B. By employing some regulars.
C. By receiving online donations. D. By cooperating with multiplexes.
6. Which word best describes Maída Alves’s feeling concerning Costa?
A. Regret. B. Worry. C. Admiration. D. Indifference.
7. Why does Toto impress Costa?
A. He is transformed by Costa’s cinema.
B. He shares the same passion for movies.
C. He gets inspiration from “Cinema Paradiso”.
D. He tends to rise to life challenges bravely.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B

C
In the vast digital landscape, the humble “like” has become a common currency. Whether it’s a heart, a thumbs-up, or an upvote on social media, these tiny affirmations (肯定) hold an invisible power over us. We carefully check notifications, craft posts for maximum engagement, and even feel disappointed when our content doesn’t perform as expected. But why do we, as humans, care so deeply about these digital signals?
At the most basic level, getting a “like” stimulates the release of neurochemicals in our brains, most notably dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure, motivation, and reward. When we receive positive social feedback like a digital “like”, our brains interpret it as a reward, reinforcing (强化) the behavior that led to it.
In ancestral groups, individuals who were strong and skilled hunters, good storytellers, or caring caregivers would garner respect and influence. This brought enormous benefits; better access to resources, more desirable mates, and a greater say in group decisions. Also, human survival depended almost entirely on cooperation within groups. Being accepted, valued, and integrated into a community was important.
From this perspective, behaviors that helped to build social bonding and get acceptance were heavily favored by natural selection. Our brains long for social approval because, historically, it literally meant the difference between life and death.
On social media, “likes” signal that our ideas, appearance, or humor are valued by others. They indicate that we are contributing positively to the “digital community” and are worthy of attention. The more “likes” we get, the more visible and seemingly influential we become, which means the real-world benefits of high social standing.
While our longing for “likes” is rooted in ancient, beneficial evolutionary mechanisms, the digital environment can take advantage of these urges. Unlike real-world social interactions, digital “likes” offer instant, quantifiable acknowledgement. This can lead to addiction, anxiety and comparison, and performative living. Therefore, we have to remind ourselves that while a digital “like” can feel good, true well-being still depends on genuine human connection beyond the screen.
8. What will happen to those getting “likes” for their posts?
A. They will reward other posters. B. Their behavior will be monitored.
C. They feel encouraged to post again. D. Their dopamine will drop sharply.
9. What does the underlined word “garner” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Explain. B. Gain. C. Value. D. Estimate.
10. What is the author’s opinion on real-world social interactions?
A. They prove a digital “like” harmless. B. They can lead to performative living.
C. They are related to instant recognition. D. They help to build beneficial bonds.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why Do We Like Digital “Likes”? B. Online Affirmations Have Two Sides
C. How Our Brain’s Reward System Works D. Do We Deserve “Likes” on Social Media?
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨我们为什么如此渴望在社交媒体上获得“点赞”。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“When we receive positive social feedback like a digital ‘like’, our brains interpret it as a reward, reinforcing (强化) the behavior that led to it.(当我们收到积极的社会反馈,比如一个数字“点赞”,我们的大脑会将其解读为一种奖励,从而强化导致这种奖励的行为。)”可知,发帖后获得点赞的人可能会受到鼓励继续发帖。故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句“In ancestral groups, individuals who were strong and skilled hunters, good storytellers, or caring caregivers would garner respect and influence.(在远古族群中,那些强壮且技艺精湛的猎手、善于讲故事的人或充满爱心的照料者通常能……尊重与影响力。)”及画线词后“This brought enormous benefits; better access to resources, more desirable mates, and a greater say in group decisions.(这带来了巨大的好处;更容易获得资源,更理想的伴侣,在群体决策中有更大的发言权。)”可推断,这些人能获得资源、更好的伴侣等好处,所以他们应该是获得尊重和影响力,garner应意为“获得”,与Gain的意思最接近。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的内容,尤其是“Therefore, we have to remind ourselves that while a digital ‘like’ can feel good, true well-being still depends on genuine human connection beyond the screen.(因此,我们必须提醒自己,尽管数字世界的一个“点赞”可能让人心情愉悦,但真正的幸福仍然取决于屏幕之外的真实人际关系。)”可知,作者认为现实社交有助于建立有益的关系。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“But why do we, as humans, care so deeply about these digital signals?(但是,作为人类,我们为什么如此关心这些数字信号呢?)”及最后一段“While our longing for ‘likes’ is rooted in ancient, beneficial evolutionary mechanisms, the digital environment can take advantage of these urges.(尽管我们对“点赞”的渴望源于古老且有益的进化机制,但数字环境却可能利用这些本能冲动。)”可知,文章开篇提出“人类为何如此在意数字点赞”的核心问题,随后从大脑神经化学机制、远古进化背景、社交价值象征等方面分析原因,最后辩证看待点赞的影响并给出建议,全文围绕“为何我们喜欢数字点赞”展开,A选项“Why Do We Like Digital “Likes”?(我们为何喜欢数字“点赞”?)”适合作为文章的标题。故选A。
D
Most Californians are accustomed to experiencing earthquakes, but researchers warn that the state faces a lesser-known danger: supershear earthquakes, which move so quickly that they outrun their own seismic (地震的) waves.
“While California is no more likely to have supershear earthquakes than other similar regions with large fault (断层) systems like the San Andreas, the threat has gone unnoticed for too long,” said Yehuda Ben-Zion, director of the Statewide California Earthquake Center (SCEC), based at USC Dornsife. “The frequency of the supershear rupture (超剪切破裂) has been greatly underappreciated.”
“Just as a plane outpacing sound generates a powerful shockwave in the atmosphere, a supershear rupture creates shock fronts in the ground once it surpasses the speed of seismic shear waves,” said Ahmed Elbanna, director-designate of SCEC. “It breaks the shear wave speed barrier in the rocks and produces destructive waves that are stronger than what’s generated by a normal earthquake.”
This additional force can strike communities with severe impact. Supershear quakes not only spread intense shaking over larger regions but also deliver what Elbanna describes as a “double strike”—a sharp shake from the shock front followed by the seismic waves.
Worldwide, about one-third of large strike-slip earthquakes are supershear. That matters in California, where many faults near large urban areas are strike-slip and capable of magnitude 7 earthquakes. “We cannot say exactly when and where the next earthquake will be and which one will be supershear,” Ben-Zion said, “but we can say with certainty that over the next few decades, we will have multiple magnitude 7 earthquakes in California.”
The researchers warn that current design standards don’t fully account for a supershear quake’s extra hit. Buildings are generally engineered for the strongest shaking perpendicular to (垂直于) faults, but supershear quakes direct their energy along the fault line itself. “Critical structures should be built to this higher standard, and so far, they are not,” Ben-Zion said.
The researchers also call for closer monitoring near major faults and advanced computer predictions on supershear situations. “This is where everybody has to contribute,” Elbanna said.
12. Why did Elbanna mention a plane in paragraph 3?
A. To make a prediction. B. To redefine a concept.
C. To explain a phenomenon. D. To show destructive impact.
13. What do Ben-Zion’s words in paragraph 5 suggest?
A. Most cities in California are free of earthquakes.
B. California is bound to experience big earthquakes.
C. Supershear earthquakes are rarely seen worldwide.
D. It’s easy to predict and identify supershear earthquakes.
14. What can be known about current buildings?
A. They can fall victim to supershear earthquakes.
B. They fully absorb the energy of supershear ruptures.
C. They can easily be destroyed by normal earthquakes.
D. They don’t account for the shaking perpendicular to faults.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To issue a warning about common earthquakes.
B. To offer tips on analyzing a lesser-known danger.
C. To explore California’s earthquake-stricken areas.
D. To call for preparations for supershear earthquakes.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。大多数加州居民对地震早已习以为常,但研究人员警告称,该州正面临一个鲜为人知的威胁——超剪切地震。这类地震的移动速度极快,甚至能超越自身产生的地震波。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““Just as a plane outpacing sound generates a powerful shockwave in the atmosphere, a supershear rupture creates shock fronts in the ground once it surpasses the speed of seismic shear waves,” said Ahmed Elbanna, director-designate of SCEC.(南加州大学多恩塞夫的加州地震中心的候任主任Ahmed Elbanna说:“就像飞机超过声音的速度在大气中产生强大的冲击波一样,超剪切破裂一旦超过地震剪切波的速度,就会在地面上产生冲击波。”)”可知,Elbanna提到飞机是为了解释超剪切破裂现象。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段““We cannot say exactly when and where the next earthquake will be and which one will be supershear,” Ben-Zion said, “but we can say with certainty that over the next few decades, we will have multiple magnitude 7 earthquakes in California.”(Ben-Zion说:“我们不能确切地说下一次地震将在何时何地发生,哪一次将是超级剪切地震,但我们可以肯定地说,在未来几十年里,加州将发生多次7级地震。”)”可知,Ben-Zion的话表明,加利福尼亚州注定要遭遇大地震。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The researchers warn that current design standards don’t fully account for a supershear quake’s extra hit.(研究人员警告说,目前的设计标准并没有完全考虑到超剪切地震的额外打击。)”可知,目前的建筑物达不到抵御超剪切地震的破坏力的标准。由此可推断,目前的建筑物可能会成为超剪切地震的受害者。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Most Californians are accustomed to experiencing earthquakes, but researchers warn that the state faces a lesser-known danger: supershear earthquakes, which move so quickly that they outrun their own seismic (地震的) waves.(大多数加州人已经习惯了经历地震,但研究人员警告说,该州面临着一种鲜为人知的危险:超剪切地震,这种地震移动得如此之快,以至于超过了自己的地震波。)”可知,本文主要介绍了超剪切地震的形成原因和危害及预测未来出现的可能性,进而呼吁人们为此做好充分的应对准备。故选D。

First, to be curious and open-minded, like the members of the Stanford faculty (教职工), who are highly curious and conscious of what they don’t know. “____17____,” he said. “Being open-minded is essential on campus. You should try to create a culture of dignity, where people engage with others through dialogue and differences of opinions and values are an opportunity to learn more about others and yourself.”
Second, he encouraged the students to take risks by trying things that might seem hard, unfamiliar, or uncomfortable, such as taking a difficult class or connecting with someone from a different background. ____18____. But quoting tennis player Billie Jean King, he reminded the students that “pressure is a privilege (殊荣)”.
____19____. Stanford’s founders wanted the university to stand out. They wanted its students to think broadly, gain practical knowledge and use it to serve the global community. He noted that decades ago, Stanford built up its research capacity and figured out how to let ideas transform into firms that led to the creation of Silicon Valley. “Today, universities and the world face new challenges. ____20____,” Levin said. “When you encounter challenges here, which will surely happen, think about how to solve them.”
As he closed, Levin invited the students to take in their surroundings. He said, “Look around you. Those are your fellow explorers.”
A. The pressure, he acknowledged, can be intense
B. Your attitudes are shaped by the people around you
C. Lastly, he called on the students to be problem-solvers
D. Then he urged them to be explorers on their college journey
E. Third, he noted that critical thinking has been central to Stanford’s mission

【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:诺贝尔评委表示,这位71岁的作家是一位杰出的创作者,他的小说有时通篇仅由一个长句构成。 consist of为固定短语,意为“由……组成”,故填of。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意:同上。此处修饰名词writer,应用形容词作定语。所给词remark的形容词形式remarkable 表示“杰出的、非凡的”。故填remarkable。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:他是自2002年伊姆雷・凯尔泰斯之后,首位摘得诺贝尔文学奖的匈牙利作家,他与欧内斯特・海明威、托妮・莫里森、石黑一雄等人一同跻身诺奖得主之列。空白处指人,应使用指人的名词作表语,winner表示“获奖者”,再根据the first可知空白处填名词的单数形式,故填 winner。

【42题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:瓦尔加建议初次接触克拉斯瑙霍尔凯作品的读者,可以从他1985年的处女作《撒旦探戈》入手,这部小说围绕一个日渐衰落的集体农庄里仅剩的几位居民展开,为他后续的创作奠定了基调。此处为宾语从句,作介词for的宾语,从句中缺少主语,指代“后续的作品(内容)”,应用连接代词what引导从句,故填what。

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。
Last summer, I worked at a small restaurant, where the light was dim (昏暗) in the evening, to save money for my college life. Sally, a waitress, had been training me.
One afternoon, I was cleaning the tables for the dinner shift when my manager, Teri Jo, came up to me. “I know you are still learning, but it’s going to be just you, waiting tables, being the cashier and putting the dressings (酱) on the salads, and the one cook,” she said. “Sally just called in sick. My daughter is about to have my first grandbaby in the hospital, or else I’d be here.”
Teri Jo assured me I could handle everything and told me, “The salads are already made and in the front refrigerator. All the other dressings are there except the blue cheese, which is in a VAT (桶) on the floor of the big walk-in refrigerator past the kitchen.” I made a mental note of that, for the few diners who might want the blue cheese dressing on their salads.
Soon, the cook and I began our dinner shift. At first, some regulars came in for quick meals. After a while, one man I hadn’t seen before ordered the Cobb salad with the blue-cheese dressing.
I went to the back to look for the dressing in the large walk-in refrigerator. Thinking how clever I was, I filled a small bowl with some of the dressing and put it in the front refrigerator, where there was a bowl of something I later knew was pancake batter (面糊) just for lunch. That way, I wouldn’t have to go back to the walk-in refrigerator in the dim light again.
I put the mixture on the man’s Cobb salad. The man spoke highly of it after tasting it. Five more new customers overheard his words, ordered the same dressing and liked it. The six new customers promised to enjoy it again the next evening.
The night shift went smoothly. I thought the manager would praise me for what I had done, especially for saving extra steps for the blue-cheese dressing.
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。
The next day, when I went in for the lunch shift, I prepared myself for Teri Jo’s praise.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
My heart sank as Teri Jo continued, “I see a similar bowl full of the blue-cheese dressing beside the near-empty bowl of pancake batter.”
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The next day, when I went in for the lunch shift, I prepared myself for Teri Jo’s praise. After I congratulated her on the birth of her first grandchild, she said, “My dear, it seems that you did a pretty good job last night, but there’s one thing I’ve got to ask you.” I thought she had found my clever way of putting a bowl of the blue-cheese dressing in the front refrigerator. But she frowned slightly and asked, “Just what did you do with that bowl of pancake batter in the front refrigerator? You know we don’t serve pancakes at night.”
My heart sank as Teri Jo continued, “I see a similar bowl full of the blue-cheese dressing beside the near-empty bowl of pancake butter.” Staring at the two seemingly identical bowls, I realized my terrible mistake: In the dim light, I had taken the pancake batter instead of the blue-cheese dressing. The “delicious dressing” those six new customers praised was actually pancake batter! Though Teri Jo wasn’t angry, I learned that true efficiency should never compromise accuracy, especially when dealing with food. Then Teri Jo and I got prepared to apologize to the customers and make up for my mistake.
