M:A dog called Jack recently won a national pet competition for its ability to fetch objects in water.The ten-
year-old dog's achievement is even more unusual because Jack is blind.
The chocolate-brown dog got a kind of eye disease when he was six and slowly losing his sight over the next year.
When Jack's owner got him,he was already lost his sight.She has looked after five other disabled dogs
before,so she knew how to teach him how to stop and smell the air.Whenever they were out walking,
wherever there was water,Jack could sense it.Jack soon started going into ponds using his sense of smell.
He could often be seen with his owner swimming in pools in the park.His owner was confident he could
become a winner with his special talents in water.
Jack's owner said that he is very friendly and is the happiest dog she's ever had.No matter what happens,
Jack just never gives up.

【答案与解析】
本文是一篇新闻报道。8月28日,第二届中澳对话展览在悉尼中国文化中心开幕,展示了中澳艺术家40
幅作品,中澳双方人士强调了艺术在促进两国交流合作及友谊方面的独特作用。
56.titled考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知,此处用所给动词的非谓语形式;因为逻辑主语The second
China-Australia Dialogue Exhibition与title之间是动宾关系,所以要用过去分词titled作后置定语。
57.and考查连词。根据语境可知,cultural、.artistic和media是并列关系,共同修饰空后的circles,表示“来自
两国文化、艺术和媒体领域的人”,所以用并列连词and。
58.wonderful考查词形转换。此处需要一个形容词来修饰空后的名词performance。wonder是名词或动词,
其形容词是wonderful。
59.pieces考查名词复数。“one of十复数名词”表示“…之一”,是固定用法。piece在这里表示“作品”,“one
of China's ten great ancient pieces”意思是“中国十大古代名曲之一”,所以要用所给名词的复数形式。
60.by考查介词。“Co-organized by..”的意思是“由…共同组织”。这里指“展览是由悉尼中国文化中心、
澳大利亚水彩画研究所和广西艺术大学共同组织的”,所以用介词by。
6l.building考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知,crossing borders和“
(build)friendship”是并列关
系,且作介词的宾语,故此处填所给动词的动名词形式。
62.merely考查词形转换。mere是形容词,意为“仅仅的,只不过的”,其副词merely用来强调这些创作不仅
仅是纸上的画。
63.stressed考查动词的时态。文章整体时态是一般过去时,描述过去发生的事情。David yan Nunen所说的
话是过去发生的动作,所以谓语动词stress要用过去式stressed。.
64.which考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,该空引导的是一个非限制性定语从句,用来修饰前面的a visit
to China by Australian artists.。先行词是物,在从句中作主语,所以关系代词用which。
65.to open考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知,open up more spaces for artistic creation是deeper cooperation
with China的目的,所以用动词不定式to open作目的状语。
第一节
One possible version:
Welcome to Xi'an
Located in Shaanxi Province,Xi'an,the provincial capital,is rich in history and culture.It has four distinct
seasons,which bring us beautiful scenery.
As an ancient capital of 13 dynasties,Xi'an is home to a number of tourist attractions-Giant Wild Goose
Pagodas,the Terra-cotta Army,to name but a few.Moreover,it is also a good choice for travelling.While
travelling,you can learn more about the colorful traditional culture.Besides,the diverse Chinese delicious food
there will suit your taste as well.And you had better experience the traditional Chinese costume Hanfu first hand.
Xi'an is an important part of China's diverse culture.I believe it is a place worth visiting.
第二节
One possible version:
Every day,she would rise early and get down to work.She looked through our small kitchen cabinet for
ingredients and experimented with new recipes,making the most of what little we had.As word spread in the
local community about her delicious treats,more and more people came to buy.She even started taking special
orders for birthdays and small gatherings.The income from her baking steadily grew,providing a much-needed
boost to our finances.
My dad,on the other hand,never gave up on his job-hunting.He expanded his search area,applying to
hospitals not only in our town but also in neighboring cities.He networked with old friends and colleagues,
constantly asking for referrals.Finally,after countless interviews and rejections,his perseverance paid off.A
hospital a few towns away offered him a position as a traveling doctor.The moment he got the call,joy filled
our truck.This new job not only brought in a stable income but also hope for a brighter future.

A New York food bank took on a huge task this month when LocalCoho,an eco-friendly
fish farm in Auburn,offered 40,000 pounds of live salmon()before closing forever.The
gift-equal to 13,000 fish swimming in giant tanks-created both a chance to help and a race
against time:Workers needed to turn the live fish into frozen meals quickly to avoid waste and
feed hungry families.
LocalCoho had developed special water-saving methods to raise fish for top-quality sushi
shops but couldn't get enough money to grow.With the farm closing on January 31st,manager
Adam Kramarsyck wanted to donate the fish instead of turning them into fuel."We're making
something good from a bad situation,"he explained.Normally,the farm could only handle
600 fish per week by hand-nowhere near enough to clear tanks holding ten times more.
The food bank gathered 42 helpers who stepped into waist-high water,using nets to catch
the fish."The short time limit made everything more stressful,"said operations leader Brian
McManus.Volunteer Christina Hudson Kohler,who usually sorts vegetables,traded her regular
job for a new task.She put on rubber boots and heavy gloves to move struggling fish into
cooling boxes.Farm workers stayed late to help,while a trucking company offered free
refrigerated delivery to a nearby food factory.
In just three weeks,the team created over 26,000 frozen fish meals for 238 food banks
and shelters-a huge protein supply for families struggling to afford food."Meat is super
important but hard to get for people in need,"McManus said,calling this the biggest fish
donation they'd ever received.The project saved tons of food that might have been thrown
away,such as 35%of America's uneaten groceries.
Kramarsyck felt proud that the farm's earth-friendly ideas still helped people despite
closing.Food buyer Andrew Katzer admired the farm's effort."Most failing businesses would
give up,but the farm's workers worked overtime to save every fish,he said.

As frozen salmon reaches community kitchens across New York,the far-reaching impact of
different groups working together is truly remarkable.Though LocalCoho's business didn't
survive,its last gift became a powerful lesson in teamwork and hope-one fish fillet(at a time.
24.What made LocalCoho decide to close its fish farm?
A.Water shortage.
B.Lack of funds.
C.Low fish quality.
D.Reduced food demand.
25.What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A.Sorting vegetables was simple for volunteers.
B.The food bank had many fish-loving volunteers.
C.Handling the fish was pressing and challenging.
D.The food bank often dealt with large fish donations.
26.What can we learn from Andrew Katzer's words?
A.He spoke highly of LocalCoho's effort.
B.He suggested LocalCoho should expand.
C.He felt most businesses focused only on profit.
D.He doubted the effectiveness of the donation.
27.What does the author want to stress in this story?
A.The difficulty food banks face.
B.The need to support fish farms.
C.The importance of courage.
D.The power of teamwork.
C
Politicians often use humor to win public support,but scientists traditionally avoid jokes,
worried that a lighthearted tone might reduce their authority and,consequently,the trustworthiness
of their findings.A new study challenges this idea,showing that well-chosen humor can actually
make scientists more likable and their research more trustworthy.
Led by Alexandra Lynn Frank from the University of Georgia,the research tested humor's
role in science communication through social media.The team created posts from a fictional
scientist,Dr.Jamie Devon,sharing cartoons about artificial intelligence(AI).These posts
used three humor styles:playful comparisons(like giving robots human characteristics),mean
jokes about technology,or a mix of both.Some posts had no humor as a comparison.
Over 2,200.participants viewed these posts in an online experiment.They rated how
funny the content was,how much they liked the scientist,and how credible the information
seemed.Results revealed that light,positive humor-such as showing AI as a curious robot
asking questions-made the scientist feel more approachable and the research more reliable.
However,mean.or:unfriendly jokes reduced trust in the scientist.
"Humor helps people connect with'scientists,"Frank explained."When we laugh,we're
more open to listening."But she stressed that jokes must feel natural,adding,"If the
audience doesn't find it funny,it could backfire."For example,playful cartoons worked better
than making fun of tech failures.
The study advises scientists to avoid tough jokes targeting individuals.Instead,gentle
humor that simplifies complex ideas-like comparing climate change to the Earth having a
"fever"-can build interest and fight misinformation.While focused on AI,these tips apply to fields
like health or environmental science.
In today's fast-paced digital world,humor could help scientists stand out on social media.
Funny posts may attract more viewers,make tough topics easier to understand,and build
public trust.The key is balancing fun with facts:lighthearted jokes don't weaken expertise
but create friendly,memorable connections.
Frank's team hopes their findings encourage scientists to experiment with humor.As one
participant noted,"A scientist who jokes feels more human-like someone I'd trust.

The bald eagle,America's national symbol of strength and freedom,has made an inspiring
comeback from near extinction.Once endangered due to harmful pesticides and habitat loss,
these great birds now fly across skies they nearly disappeared from decades ago.Their story is
one of environmental recovery and cultural pride.
In the mid-20th century,the widespread use of the insecticide DDT caused eagle populations
to drop sharply.The chemical weakened eggshells,making it nearly impossible for chicks to
survive.By the 1980s,states like New Jersey had only one nesting()pair left.
But after DDT was prohibited in 1972,conservation (efforts began.Scientists
transported eagles from stable populations in Canada and used creative methods,like replacing
real eggs with fake ones,to protect chicks.These efforts paid off:New Jersey now has over
300 nesting pairs,and the species was removed from the US endangered list in 2007.
"They're a conservation success story,says Maia Edwards of the American Bald Eagle
Foundation.Eagles have proven adaptable,nesting even in busy areas like suburban neighborhoods.
Kathy Clark,a wildlife expert in New Jersey,recalls young eagles surviving in a crowded
town near New York."They're tough-like true Jersey birds,"she says with a sense of wonder.
However,challenges remain.Crashes with cars,habitat loss and diseases like bird flu
threaten their recovery.Zoos and rescue centers,such as New Jersey's Turtle Back Zoo,care
for injured birds that can't return to the wild.Conservationists stress the need for clean
waterways and protected spaces to ensure eagles grow well.
Culturally,the bald eagle's comeback has won hearts.Recent laws officially declared it
America's national bird,though many assumed it already was.Native American communities,
who view eagles as spiritual symbols,supported the move.The birds also inspire sports
fans-like the Philadelphia Eagles football team competing in this year's Super Bowl.
For average Americans,spotting a bald eagle remains amazing.Birdwatcher Dan Day,
who grew up rarely seeing them,now encounters eagles regularly."It brightens up your
whole day,he says.Experts remind people to admire eagles from a distance,as troubling
them harms their recovery.

At just nine years old,my life got really messed up.My dad,who was a doctor,
suddenly lost his job at a local hospital.This one bad thing hit our family hard and turned our
once-stable life upside down.Because we couldn't pay the mortgage(),we had to leave
our nice house.Our new home became a small truck that we used to take out only for nice
weekend camping trips.I had to quickly leave my private school,and my parents started the
tough job of teaching me at home.
Life in the truck was really tough.Space was super tight.The first time our whole
family-Mom,Dad,and I-sat on the small couch'that became my parents'bed at night,we
felt uncomfortable.We spent many days and nights driving around,really trying hard to find
safe and legal places to park our mobile home.At one really bad time,we had no choice but to
park in a far-away,lonely lot on the edge of town,far from the nice things in town.
The situation was really tough.As the last bit of our small amount of food-just a single
piece of fried chicken-was cooked on the stovetop,we could feel how bad things were.My
mom,with a worried look on her face,sat at the small table.She knew our food was almost
consumed,so she started writing a shopping list.Even though things seemed hopeless,our
family didn't want to just sit around and wait for help from others.Instead,we decided to do
something by ourselves to get through this hard time.
One day,when I was helping my dad clean the old,dusty truck,I found an old box full
of things we could recycle-empty cans,glass bottles,and some scrap metal.We took them
to the recycling center.The money we got,even though it wasn't a lot,was a nice addition to
our small amount of money for food.This small act of mine inspired my mom,who had
always been a full-time housewife and was good at baking,to use her skills to make money.
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。
Every day,she would rise early and get down to work.
My dad,on the other hand,never gave up on his job-hunting.
