At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra (希腊神话人物). She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer.
Easthope is an emergency planner whose job is to support the survivors of major disasters, in which capacity she acted following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the fire at Grenfell Tower. For two decades, the public knew nothing about this vital work, which went on behind the scenes, though she was hugely admired in what we might call professional disaster circles: a voice of calm and a fountain of wisdom. But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did.
“At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle it? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to cover all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual.
While her publisher describes Come What May as a road map for resilience (韧性), the word is one Easthope dislikes. Ready, she suggests, is a better one. Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter. She encourages people to remember, not to forget, what happened during disasters, because such events leave a long-lasting effect.
4. What might a Cassandra be like according to paragraph 1?
A. Friendly and energetic. B. Competent and cautious.
C. Cheerful and easy-going. D. Serious and unapproachable.
5. What led to increased public awareness of Easthope’s work in 2023?
A. The publication of a best seller.
B. Her involvement in 2004 tsunami relief.
C. The growth of professional disaster circles.
D. Her sudden rise to fame through media.
6. Why are readers’ questions cited in paragraph 3?
A. To reveal Easthope’s personal fears.
B. To explain Easthope’s writing process.
C. To showcase Easthope’s writing motivation.
D. To present public doubts about Easthope’s work.
7. What does Easthope agree on handling disasters?
A. Forgetting aids recovery.
B. Resilience matters most.
C. Positive thinking takes the lead.
D. Minor sufferings deserve attention.
C
Group interactions are an essential part of personal and professional life, and mastering them can significantly benefit our social, work, and personal environments. Communication is a complex (复杂的) process, with body language playing a vital role in how messages are perceived and understood. Understanding body language can significantly improve group interactions, making them more positive and productive.
Unlike verbal language, body language often reveals true thoughts and feelings unconsciously. It can share emotions more directly than words. For example, a bright smile and relaxed shoulders usually show happiness, while leaning back means being not interested. Even small movements, like tapping fingers or avoiding eye contact, can suggest nervousness, which words may try to hide.
Gestures are a valuable component of body language, aiding in clarifying and emphasizing spoken messages during group interactions. Skillful use of gestures can help show passion, support understanding, and maintain engagement (参与) within a group setting. Descriptive gestures, such as using hands to illustrate a concept or directional movements to indicate options, can provide visual strengthening to verbal communication. These gestures help ensure that the group can follow the discussion, especially in complex or technical conversations.
However, too much gestures may become distracting or annoying in group settings. The key is to ensure gestures are purposeful and relevant, naturally adding to the verbal message. Practicing consistency (一致性) in gestures that match the tone and content of your speech helps strengthen the intended message, enabling clearer communication and understanding among group members.
Despite its importance, common misunderstandings about body language often cause misinterpretation. A usual one is treating single movements as absolute cues (暗示): many think crossed arms equal defensiveness, but it could just be a comfortable posture or a response to cold. Another is ignoring context-avoiding eye contact in a serious talk might seem dishonest, but it could result from cultural respect for others. These oversimplified judgments ignored the complexity of body language and its influencing factors.
8. What can we learn about the relationship between body language and verbal language?
A. Words share emotions more directly. B. Verbal language is more widely used.
C. They have the same cultural meanings. D. Body language is more truthful at times.
9. How can descriptive gestures help group interactions?
A. Hiding nervousness easily. B. Clarifying the group setting.
C. Emphasizing key points. D. Avoiding communication mistakes.
10. What does the author suggest in paragraph 4?
A. Be mindful of overusing gestures. B. Use certain gestures on purpose.
C. Maintain unity in language tones. D. Stick to your intended message.
11. Why people often treat single movements as absolute cues?
A. They are often influenced by others. B. They fail to understand other factors.
C. They are used to observing contexts. D. They have simple communication skills.
D
Crowded by defenders, Charlie Villanueva,one hand lifting the ball high, jump toward the basket. For a moment, he seems to hang in the air. Then, he pushes the ball down through the basket — a slam dunk (扣篮)! His career may look like a slam dunk, being a national champion at the University of Connecticut, and setting beginner records with the Toronto Raptors.
However, life wasn’t always easy for him. His success comes not only from his basketball skills but also from how he dealt with a skin disease called alopecia areata (斑秃), which isn’t infectious. It happens when the body’s immune system goes wrong and attacks its own hair-growing cells. Charlie was affected at age 10 and lost all his hair by age 12. This made him a target for bullying (欺凌), leading him to shut away from others and hide under caps and hoods.
With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He turned his depression and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his gift became more important than his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off.
All along the way, Charlie has continuously applied himself to helping others. Ever since his first year as a new player, he has served as a spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, and went on to set up the Charlie Villanueva Foundation, an organization aimed at supporting families with children suffering from alopecia and stopping all forms of bullying. As the son of immigrants from the Dominican Republic, he has even worked towards ending poverty in that country.
Charlie encourages young people to accept their individuality and have confidence in themselves. “We’re all unique in our own ways,” he says, encouraging them to remember that with dedication and self-belief, any dream is within reach.
12. Why is Charlie’s slam dunk mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. To compare him with other champions. B. To explain how a slam dunk is performed.
C. To highlight his skills and achievements. D. To show a specific moment in a game.
13. What made Charlie avoid his classmates?
A. An infectious skin disease. B. His being made fun of.
C. An error in the immune system. D. His average ability to play basketball.
14. Which of the following best describes Charlie?
A. Strong-willed and helpful. B. Strict and responsible.
C. Warm-hearted and humorous. D. Independent and creative.
15. What message does the author want to express in the text?
A. Luck often comes to those who are ready.
B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. A thousand -mile journey begins with the first step.
D. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

My son “graduated” from elementary school this week.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
For learning Chinese, the correct pronunciation of the words ____36____ (be) very important. Native speakers perfect these sounds as they grow up, but for new learners, this may take time.
For Mandarin learners, pronunciation is one of the ____37____ (challenge) most people tend to meet with. Error-making is a ____38____ (nature) part of learning any language, not just Mandarin, and we all have our own fair share of weak points.
We can easily spot some Mandarin pronunciation mistakes ____39____ are a lot more common than others. Pronunciation in Mandarin is important, because a simple shift in tone can completely change the meaning of a word. Unlike other East Asian languages, Mandarin depends heavily ____40____ tone to convey the proper meaning, so correct Chinese pronunciation is essential.
Sometimes, ____41____ the difference in sound is clear enough, learners make the mistake of pronouncing it the same way.

English has stressed syllables within words, while Mandarin does not. Mandarin can make changes to the tone of the vowel, which in turn, changes the meaning. Mandarin does have stress within a sentence. ____44____ (improve) your Mandarin pronunciation, listen to native Mandarin speakers as much as possible and talk with them too.

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。
The first week of the new semester always carried a strange kind of energy — new classes, new faces, and the quiet hope of starting over. As an 11th-grade transfer student, I walked into the noisy classroom with my head low, clutching (紧握) my backpack strap like a lifeline. Everything felt foreign — the laughter, the inside jokes, the invisible circles I wasn’t part of. My new desk mate, Olivia, sat by the window, her notebook perfectly organized, her confidence filling the space between us. When she noticed me hesitating, she smiled, slid a neatly written class schedule across the desk, and in a soft voice said she’d show me around at lunch. That small gesture made me want to belong — to be seen.
So when she mentioned the debate club after class, I told her I’d been on the debate team and had even won a regional contest. It wasn’t planned. The lie just slipped out, smooth and effortless, like it had been waiting for its cue. Her eyes lit up, and for the first time, I felt noticed — no longer just the quiet new kid.
A few days later, Olivia came running up with a sign- up sheet.“ The annual school-wide debate competition is in a month — we should team up!” she exclaimed, her enthusiasm unshakable. I tried to match her energy, but the panic settled deeper each time I imagined standing on stage. Four weeks to prepare — it felt endless and terrifying at the same time.
At our first rehearsal (排练), I stumbled over debate terms, struggled to organize arguments, and froze when asked to practice rebuttals (反驳). Some teammates exchanged eye rolls and quiet laughs that stung more than their whispers. Olivia didn’t say anything; her smile faded, polite yet puzzled.
By Friday, the lie felt heavier than the weight on my shoulders. Each“ keep going” she offered sounded like a test I couldn’t pass. That night, I stared at my debate notes, the words swimming before my eyes. I knew I couldn’t keep pretending. Something had to give.
注意:
1.写作词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
During the next rehearsal, I finally admitted the truth to everyone.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A month later, Olivia and I stepped onto the stage together, ready for the big day.

B
At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra (希腊神话人物). She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer.
Easthope is an emergency planner whose job is to support the survivors of major disasters, in which capacity she acted following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the fire at Grenfell Tower. For two decades, the public knew nothing about this vital work, which went on behind the scenes, though she was hugely admired in what we might call professional disaster circles: a voice of calm and a fountain of wisdom. But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did.
“At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle it? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to cover all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual.
While her publisher describes Come What May as a road map for resilience (韧性), the word is one Easthope dislikes. Ready, she suggests, is a better one. Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter. She encourages people to remember, not to forget, what happened during disasters, because such events leave a long-lasting effect.
4. What might a Cassandra be like according to paragraph 1?
A. Friendly and energetic. B. Competent and cautious.
C. Cheerful and easy-going. D. Serious and unapproachable.
5. What led to increased public awareness of Easthope’s work in 2023?
A. The publication of a best seller.
B. Her involvement in 2004 tsunami relief.
C. The growth of professional disaster circles.
D. Her sudden rise to fame through media.
6. Why are readers’ questions cited in paragraph 3?
A. To reveal Easthope’s personal fears.
B. To explain Easthope’s writing process.
C. To showcase Easthope’s writing motivation.
D. To present public doubts about Easthope’s work.
7. What does Easthope agree on handling disasters?
A. Forgetting aids recovery.
B. Resilience matters most.
C. Positive thinking takes the lead.
D. Minor sufferings deserve attention.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了紧急事务规划师露西·伊斯特霍普及其工作,描述了她如何从幕后走向公众视野,通过写书分享应对灾难的知识,并阐述了她对灾后恢复及关注微小痛苦的见解。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra (希腊神话人物). She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer.(乍一看,伊斯特霍普似乎不太像一位卡珊德拉(希腊神话人物)。她经常微笑。她的举止和蔼,像母亲一样;要你猜她的职业,你可能会猜是护士或老师。但是再仔细看)” 这里提到伊斯特霍普给人的表面印象是“微笑很多”、“和蔼可亲”,但这与“卡珊德拉”给人的感觉不同,因此暗示“卡珊德拉”的形象可能与伊斯特霍普给人的亲切、随和的第一印象相反,即可能比较“严肃、不易接近”。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did.(但在2023年,她出版了一本关于她职业生涯的畅销书《尘埃落定》,情况就此改变。人们开始对她的工作非常感兴趣)”可知,2023年公众对她工作的认知度提升,直接原因是一本畅销书的出版。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle it? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to cover all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual.(“在文学节上,大多数作者会被问到关于写作过程的问题,”伊斯特霍普说,“但我不会被问这些。人们想从我这里知道的是,我如何带着我所掌握的知识生活。我不害怕吗?我是如何应对的?我会告诉他们我并非活在恐惧中,并给他们一些基本的建议。但这还不够。”最终,她感到别无选择,只能再写一本书,一本试图总结她所学到的一切、以惠及每个人的书)”可推知, 引用读者的提问,是为了说明公众的关注点与常规作者不同,他们迫切想了解伊斯特霍普如何处理她所知的灾难知识,这种强烈的需求最终促使她产生了写作第二本书的动机。故选C项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter.(伊斯特霍普还提醒人们,小事也很重要,比如生病时脱发,或有人在去世后暴饮暴食)”可知,伊斯特霍普认为,灾难中的微小痛苦或细节也值得关注。故选D项。
C
Group interactions are an essential part of personal and professional life, and mastering them can significantly benefit our social, work, and personal environments. Communication is a complex (复杂的) process, with body language playing a vital role in how messages are perceived and understood. Understanding body language can significantly improve group interactions, making them more positive and productive.
Unlike verbal language, body language often reveals true thoughts and feelings unconsciously. It can share emotions more directly than words. For example, a bright smile and relaxed shoulders usually show happiness, while leaning back means being not interested. Even small movements, like tapping fingers or avoiding eye contact, can suggest nervousness, which words may try to hide.
Gestures are a valuable component of body language, aiding in clarifying and emphasizing spoken messages during group interactions. Skillful use of gestures can help show passion, support understanding, and maintain engagement (参与) within a group setting. Descriptive gestures, such as using hands to illustrate a concept or directional movements to indicate options, can provide visual strengthening to verbal communication. These gestures help ensure that the group can follow the discussion, especially in complex or technical conversations.
However, too much gestures may become distracting or annoying in group settings. The key is to ensure gestures are purposeful and relevant, naturally adding to the verbal message. Practicing consistency (一致性) in gestures that match the tone and content of your speech helps strengthen the intended message, enabling clearer communication and understanding among group members.
Despite its importance, common misunderstandings about body language often cause misinterpretation. A usual one is treating single movements as absolute cues (暗示): many think crossed arms equal defensiveness, but it could just be a comfortable posture or a response to cold. Another is ignoring context-avoiding eye contact in a serious talk might seem dishonest, but it could result from cultural respect for others. These oversimplified judgments ignored the complexity of body language and its influencing factors.
8. What can we learn about the relationship between body language and verbal language?
A. Words share emotions more directly. B. Verbal language is more widely used.
C. They have the same cultural meanings. D. Body language is more truthful at times.
9. How can descriptive gestures help group interactions?
A. Hiding nervousness easily. B. Clarifying the group setting.
C. Emphasizing key points. D. Avoiding communication mistakes.
10. What does the author suggest in paragraph 4?
A. Be mindful of overusing gestures. B. Use certain gestures on purpose.
C. Maintain unity in language tones. D. Stick to your intended message.
11. Why people often treat single movements as absolute cues?
A. They are often influenced by others. B. They fail to understand other factors.
C. They are used to observing contexts. D. They have simple communication skills.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了肢体语言在群体互动中的重要性,包括其与言语语言的关系、手势的作用、常见误解以及正确使用肢体语言的建议。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Unlike verbal language, body language often reveals true thoughts and feelings unconsciously. It can share emotions more directly than words.(与语言不同,肢体语言常常在不知不觉中流露出真实的想法和感受。它比言语更能直接地分享情感)”可知,肢体语言有时比言语更能真实地表达想法和感受。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Descriptive gestures, such as using hands to illustrate a concept or directional movements to indicate options, can provide visual strengthening to verbal communication. These gestures help ensure that the group can follow the discussion, especially in complex or technical conversations.(描述性的手势,比如用手来说明一个概念或用方向性的动作来表示选择,可以为语言交流提供视觉上的强化。这些手势有助于确保团队能够跟上讨论,特别是在复杂或技术性的对话中)”可知,描述性的手势通过提供视觉强化,比如用手来说明一个概念或用方向性的动作来表示选择,强调关键点,从而帮助团队互动。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“However, too much gestures may become distracting or annoying in group settings. The key is to ensure gestures are purposeful and relevant, naturally adding to the verbal message.(然而,在群体环境中,过多的手势可能会分散注意力或令人讨厌。关键是要确保手势是有目的和相关的,自然地补充语言信息)”可知,作者在本段中建议注意不要过度使用手势,以免分散注意力或令人讨厌。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“A usual one is treating single movements as absolute cues (暗示): many think crossed arms equal defensiveness, but it could just be a comfortable posture or a response to cold. Another is ignoring context-avoiding eye contact in a serious talk might seem dishonest, but it could result from cultural respect for others. These oversimplified judgments ignored the complexity of body language and its influencing factors.(一个常见的错误是将单一的动作视为绝对的暗示:许多人认为双臂交叉等于防御,但这可能只是一种舒适的姿势或对寒冷的反应。另一个是忽略上下文——在严肃的谈话中避免眼神交流可能看起来不诚实,但这可能是出于对他人的文化尊重。这些过于简单的判断忽略了肢体语言的复杂性及其影响因素)”可知,人们之所以经常将单一动作视为绝对暗示,是因为他们没有理解其他影响因素,如文化背景或个人舒适度等。故选B项。
D
Crowded by defenders, Charlie Villanueva,one hand lifting the ball high, jump toward the basket. For a moment, he seems to hang in the air. Then, he pushes the ball down through the basket — a slam dunk (扣篮)! His career may look like a slam dunk, being a national champion at the University of Connecticut, and setting beginner records with the Toronto Raptors.
However, life wasn’t always easy for him. His success comes not only from his basketball skills but also from how he dealt with a skin disease called alopecia areata (斑秃), which isn’t infectious. It happens when the body’s immune system goes wrong and attacks its own hair-growing cells. Charlie was affected at age 10 and lost all his hair by age 12. This made him a target for bullying (欺凌), leading him to shut away from others and hide under caps and hoods.
With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He turned his depression and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his gift became more important than his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off.
All along the way, Charlie has continuously applied himself to helping others. Ever since his first year as a new player, he has served as a spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, and went on to set up the Charlie Villanueva Foundation, an organization aimed at supporting families with children suffering from alopecia and stopping all forms of bullying. As the son of immigrants from the Dominican Republic, he has even worked towards ending poverty in that country.
Charlie encourages young people to accept their individuality and have confidence in themselves. “We’re all unique in our own ways,” he says, encouraging them to remember that with dedication and self-belief, any dream is within reach.
12. Why is Charlie’s slam dunk mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. To compare him with other champions. B. To explain how a slam dunk is performed.
C. To highlight his skills and achievements. D. To show a specific moment in a game.
13. What made Charlie avoid his classmates?
A. An infectious skin disease. B. His being made fun of.
C. An error in the immune system. D. His average ability to play basketball.
14. Which of the following best describes Charlie?
A. Strong-willed and helpful. B. Strict and responsible.
C. Warm-hearted and humorous. D. Independent and creative.
15. What message does the author want to express in the text?
A. Luck often comes to those who are ready.
B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. A thousand -mile journey begins with the first step.
D. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

Then, he pushes the ball down through the basket — a slam dunk (扣篮)! His career may look like a slam dunk, being a national champion at the University of Connecticut, and setting beginner records with the Toronto Raptors.

【14题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段中“With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He turned his depression and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his gift became more important than his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off. (在母亲的支持下,查理在篮球中找到了心灵的慰藉。他将抑郁与压力转化为动力,不断精进球技,最终让自身的天赋盖过了身体的缺憾。欺凌从此销声匿迹,他的篮球生涯也一举腾飞)”可知,他有坚强的意志。由文章第四段中“All along the way, Charlie has continuously applied himself to helping others. Ever since his first year as a new player, he has served as a spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, and went on to set up the Charlie Villanueva Foundation, an organization aimed at supporting families with children suffering from alopecia and stopping all forms of bullying.(一路走来,查理始终致力于帮助他人。自新秀赛季第一年起,他便担任美国国家斑秃基金会的形象大使,随后还成立了查理・维兰纽瓦基金会,该组织旨在为有斑秃患儿的家庭提供支持,并杜绝一切形式的欺凌行为)”可知,查理一直致力于帮助他人,这表明他是乐于助人的。因此,坚强意志和乐于助人最能描述查理。故选A。

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
For learning Chinese, the correct pronunciation of the words ____36____ (be) very important. Native speakers perfect these sounds as they grow up, but for new learners, this may take time.
For Mandarin learners, pronunciation is one of the ____37____ (challenge) most people tend to meet with. Error-making is a ____38____ (nature) part of learning any language, not just Mandarin, and we all have our own fair share of weak points.
We can easily spot some Mandarin pronunciation mistakes ____39____ are a lot more common than others. Pronunciation in Mandarin is important, because a simple shift in tone can completely change the meaning of a word. Unlike other East Asian languages, Mandarin depends heavily ____40____ tone to convey the proper meaning, so correct Chinese pronunciation is essential.
Sometimes, ____41____ the difference in sound is clear enough, learners make the mistake of pronouncing it the same way. The best approach to ____42____ (solve) this is to use a Mandarin pronunciation guide which tells you exactly how different sounds ____43____ (make) and where they come from so you can differentiate (区别) between them properly.
English has stressed syllables within words, while Mandarin does not. Mandarin can make changes to the tone of the vowel, which in turn, changes the meaning. Mandarin does have stress within a sentence. ____44____ (improve) your Mandarin pronunciation, listen to native Mandarin speakers as much as possible and talk with them too.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了学习汉语时正确发音的重要性及提升发音的方法。
【36题详解】
考查主谓一致和动词时态。句意:对于学习中文来说,单词的正确发音是非常重要的。主语是“the correct pronunciation of the words”,为单数概念,且陈述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时。故填is。
【37题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:对于普通话学习者来说,发音是人们经常会遇到的挑战之一。根据空前的“one of the”可知,其后应接可数名词的复数形式。challenge“挑战”的复数是challenges。故填challenges。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意:犯错是学习任何语言的一个自然部分,不仅仅是普通话,我们都有自己的弱点。空格处位于冠词a之后,名词part之前,应用形容词修饰名词。nature的形容词形式是natural“自然的”。故填natural。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:我们很容易发现一些普通话发音错误比其他错误更常见。此处引导定语从句,先行词是“Mandarin pronunciation mistakes”,指物,在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词that或which。故填that/which。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:与其他东亚语言不同,普通话在很大程度上依赖声调来传达正确的意思,所以正确的汉语发音至关重要。depend on是固定短语,意为“依赖,依靠”。故填on。
【41题详解】
考查连词。句意:有时,尽管声音上的差异足够明显,学习者还是会犯同样的发音错误。此处表示让步关系,用although/though/while引导让步状语从句,意为“尽管,虽然”。故填although/though/while。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:解决这个问题的最好方法是使用一本普通话发音指南,它准确地告诉你不同的声音是如何发出的,以及它们来自哪里,这样你就可以正确地区分它们。“the approach to doing sth.”是固定用法,意为“做某事的方法”,to是介词,后接动名词作宾语。故填solving。
【43题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意同上。此处描述客观事实,用一般现在时;“how different sounds ____ (make)”是宾语从句,从句中主语different sounds与动词make之间是被动关系,用被动语态,主语是复数,be动词用are。故填are made。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:为了提高你的普通话发音,尽可能多地听以普通话为母语的人说话,也和他们交谈。此处表目的,用动词不定式作目的状语。句首单词首字母大写,故填To improve。
【45题详解】
考查副词词义辨析。句意:除了定期与人进行一般性对话外,你还应该确保有一位老师可以帮助你找出你哪里出错了。此处修饰动词having,用副词regularly,表示“定期地,有规律地”。故填regularly。

【答案】Dear Jack,
You asked about break-time sports, and I think skipping rope is perfect. It only needs a rope, which is easy to carry. Many of my classmates skip during breaks because it doesn’t need much space. You can skip alone or with friends, which makes break time more enjoyable.
The reason why I recommend it is that it’s good for your health and saves time. It can make your body active quickly after class, and you don’t need to spend a long time preparing for it. I’m sure that if you try skipping rope, you’ll love it and have a great time during breaks.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

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。
The first week of the new semester always carried a strange kind of energy — new classes, new faces, and the quiet hope of starting over. As an 11th-grade transfer student, I walked into the noisy classroom with my head low, clutching (紧握) my backpack strap like a lifeline. Everything felt foreign — the laughter, the inside jokes, the invisible circles I wasn’t part of. My new desk mate, Olivia, sat by the window, her notebook perfectly organized, her confidence filling the space between us. When she noticed me hesitating, she smiled, slid a neatly written class schedule across the desk, and in a soft voice said she’d show me around at lunch. That small gesture made me want to belong — to be seen.
So when she mentioned the debate club after class, I told her I’d been on the debate team and had even won a regional contest. It wasn’t planned. The lie just slipped out, smooth and effortless, like it had been waiting for its cue. Her eyes lit up, and for the first time, I felt noticed — no longer just the quiet new kid.
A few days later, Olivia came running up with a sign- up sheet.“ The annual school-wide debate competition is in a month — we should team up!” she exclaimed, her enthusiasm unshakable. I tried to match her energy, but the panic settled deeper each time I imagined standing on stage. Four weeks to prepare — it felt endless and terrifying at the same time.
At our first rehearsal (排练), I stumbled over debate terms, struggled to organize arguments, and froze when asked to practice rebuttals (反驳). Some teammates exchanged eye rolls and quiet laughs that stung more than their whispers. Olivia didn’t say anything; her smile faded, polite yet puzzled.
By Friday, the lie felt heavier than the weight on my shoulders. Each“ keep going” she offered sounded like a test I couldn’t pass. That night, I stared at my debate notes, the words swimming before my eyes. I knew I couldn’t keep pretending. Something had to give.
注意:
1.写作词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
During the next rehearsal, I finally admitted the truth to everyone.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A month later, Olivia and I stepped onto the stage together, ready for the big day.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
During the next rehearsal, I finally admitted the truth to everyone. For a long moment, the room went silent — you could have heard a pin drop. Then Olivia spoke, calm and steady: “It’s fine. We’ll start from scratch.” One by one, the others offered advice, shared notes, and cracked small jokes that eased the tension. From that day on, I stayed after school until the lights went out — repeating lines, practicing arguments, recording myself to correct every pause. My voice wavered, my notes were full of red marks, but fear slowly turned into focus. I was no longer pretending; I was learning to earn my place.
A month later, Olivia and I stepped onto the stage together, ready for the big day. My palms were sweating, and my heartbeat drowned out the audience. When I stumbled over a point, Olivia jumped in smoothly, guiding me back on track. Our teammates whispered reminders and adjusted timing, and by the final round, we were in sync. When the judges announced our victory, the applause felt like sunlight breaking through. Standing there, I understood something deeper than winning: the path I’d faked at first had led me to something real — courage I had built, friends who believed in me, and a place where I truly fit.
【解析】
【导语】本篇书面表达以人物为线索展开。文章讲述转校生“我”为融入新集体,谎称曾获辩论赛冠军;被新同桌Olivia拉进校队后却露馅。在愧疚与恐惧中,“我”最终选择坦白,得到队友理解与帮助,历经苦练登上决赛舞台,完成从“伪装”到“真实成长”的蜕变。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“During the next rehearsal, I finally admitted the truth to everyone.(下次排练时,我终于向大家坦白了真相。)”可知,第一段可描写“我”坦白后短暂的尴尬、队友的反应、集体决定从零开始辅导“我”,以及“我”苦练辩论技巧的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“A month later, Olivia and I stepped onto the stage together, ready for the big day.(一个月后,Olivia和我一同踏上舞台,迎接大赛。)”可知,第二段可描写比赛当天“我”的紧张、团队默契配合、最终获胜,以及“我”领悟到“勇气与归属感”这一更深层的收获。
2. 续写线索: 坦白真相——团队包容——集体辅导——刻苦训练——赛场配合——获胜顿悟
3. 词汇激活
行为类
①缓解:ease / alleviate
②留下:stay / remain
③变成:turn into / change into
情绪类
①安静的:silent / quiet
②镇静:calm / composed
【点睛】[高分句型1] One by one, the others offered advice, shared notes, and cracked small jokes that eased the tension.(运用了that引导的限制性定语从句)
[高分句型2] When I stumbled over a point, Olivia jumped in smoothly, guiding me back on track.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句和现在分词作状语)
[高分句型3] Standing there, I understood something deeper than winning: the path I’d faked at first had led me to something real — courage I had built, friends who believed in me, and a place where I truly fit.(运用了现在分词作状语、who和where引导的定语从句)
