Temidayo Adedokun, 31, who was born in Nigeria and now is working in America, became pregnant with her first child. She couldn’t hide her joy, and couldn’t wait to shop for baby clothes with traditional African prints that she grew up wearing.
“I was super surprised that I failed to find affordably priced African aesthetic (美学的) products that were designed from an authentic (正宗的) place,” Temidayo said.
Temidayo decided to take matters into her own hands. At first, she focused on creating clothes just for her baby. But then, she put some of them on a website to see what happened.
The feedback she got gave her just enough confidence. She figured she’d make the baby clothes an after-work side business to her full-time position as a lawyer in Oakland, California, until one day she was told she was given a boot. Once again, she needed to make her own choice. That’s when she decided to make it a full-time job.
“I had to evaluate: am I going to search for another job I don’t have a great desire for?” she said. “Or am I going to take this as a chance I’m not sure about myself? After all, I’m not familiar with this field. What if something unexpected happens? However, for the symbols of children’s clothing in my heart, I threw myself into it. So I chose the latter.” Then, in March 2020, Temidayo officially announced her own brand: Ade+ Ayo.
Since then, Temidayo has received much praise from other African parents informing her that her clothes help them start having conversations with their kids about what they’re wearing and allow them to show their children the treasures handed down by their ancestors. And, for those who aren’t African, her clothes have been a way for parents to introduce their kids to a new and colorful world. “I feel very blessed to be able to be doing this,” she said.
4. How did Temidayo feel after trying to buy African aesthetic clothes?
A. Pleased. B. Confident. C. Stressful. D. Disappointed.
5. What does the underlined phrase “given a boot” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. fired. B. allowed. C. informed. D. accused.
6. What did Temidayo originally think of her creating her own brand?
A. It was informal. B. It was profitable. C. It was risky. D. It was trendy.
7. How can we evaluate Ade+ Ayo?
A. It’s created African aesthetics. B. It’s spread authentic cultures.
C. It’s targeted overseas Africans. D. It’s inspired people’s creativity.
C
If your day starts with a harsh alarm sound, you might want to rethink your wake-up routine. New research from the University of Virginia’s School of Nursing suggests that the way you’re waking up could be putting unnecessary stress on your heart.
Nursing doctoral student Yeonsu Kim studied 32 participants and found that being forced awake — like by a loud phone alarm — can lead to a significant morning blood pressure surge. This happens when your body is suddenly shifted from sleep to wakefulness. And it was found to be 74% higher in participants who were awakened by an alarm after five hours of sleep compared to those who woke up naturally. And that’s no small concern — morning blood pressure surges have been linked to serious cardiovascular (心血管的) risks, including stroke and heart attack.
The increase in blood pressure activates your sympathetic nervous system — the same system that sets off the “fight or flight” response. That can lead to a rapid heartbeat, anxiety, exhaustion, and even physical symptoms like headaches and nosebleeds.
The good news? There are better, healthier ways to greet the day. Instead of relying on harsh alarms, many people are turning to gentler methods — and research backs them up. One popular option is a gradual light alarm, also known as a sunrise alarm clock. These devices imitate the rising sun by slowly increasing in brightness over a set period of time. The gentle light helps signal your body to reduce melatonin (褪黑激素) production and transition into wakefulness more naturally, reducing dizziness and morning stress.
There are also alarm apps that use soft music or nature sounds that gradually get louder, helping you wake without shocking your system. A 2020 study even found that melodic sounds — like a song you can sing along with — help reduce sleep inertia, a sleepy, heavy feeling that can linger for hours after waking up.
Small changes can make a big difference in how your body starts the day and your heart will thank you for it!
8. What physical symptoms can be caused by activating the sympathetic nervous system?
A. Nervousness and tiredness. B. Slower heartbeat.
C. Improved sleep quality. D. Reduced melatonin levels.
9. What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph?
A. The dangers of using traditional alarm clocks.
B. The importance of getting enough sleep every night.
C. The introduction and benefits of gradual light alarms.
D. How melatonin affects our sleep quality.
10. What can be inferred from the research findings mentioned in the passage?
A. People who wake up naturally never experience morning blood pressure surges.
B. Gradual waking methods may lower the risk of heart-related diseases.
C. Reducing melatonin production immediately improves cardiovascular health.
D. Loud alarms are the primary cause of strokes and heart attacks worldwide.
11. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To persuade us to stop using alarms.
B. To criticize modern sleep habits.
C. To compare different types of alarm sounds.
D. To explain the dangers of sudden wake-up methods
D
The Himalayan wolf and snow leopard are top predators (捕食者) in alpine ecosystems. Across the diverse landscapes of the Asian highlands, herding (放牧) communities exhibit varying attitudes toward snow leopards and wolves. Although snow leopards cause greater livestock loss, these communities generally show greater tolerance and acceptance toward snow leopards. This illustrates the predator paradox, where the more damaging predator is contradictorily more tolerated.
Attitudes toward snow leopards and wolves in the Himalayas are shaped by factors like religion and culture. Snow leopards hold significant cultural and spiritual value, especially in Buddhism. Local folk tales boost snow leopards’ awe, portraying them as holy beings linked to spiritual beliefs of the communities. In contrast to the awe for snow leopards, wolves are widely disliked and feared. This negative view stems from folklore, where wolves are portrayed as sly (狡猾的) and merciless predators. These tales shape public view, fostering hostility (敌意) and fear toward wolves.
Conservation efforts in the Himalayas primarily concentrate on snow leopards, often overlooking other sympatric carnivores (食肉动物), like wolves. Consequently, programs for population monitoring, habitat preservation, and livestock insurance mainly benefit snow leopards, leaving wolves with minimal attention or resources. Additionally, key policy documents prioritize snow leopard conservation efforts, neglecting the ecological significance of wolves. This mistake slows down carnivore protection and makes local communities feel bitter toward wolves.
Interestingly, this difference exists despite both snow leopard and Himalayan wolf being globally classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.
Both snow leopards and wolves are crucial to the Himalayan ecosystem, but conservation has overwhelmingly favored snow leopards. This imbalance in attention and resources worsens the challenges faced by wolves, highlighting the need for a balanced approach to conserve both species effectively.
12. What phenomenon does the “predator paradox” describe in paragraph 1?
A. Top predators always cause livestock loss.
B. More harmful predators are more accepted locally.
C. Locals tolerate different top predators equally.
D. Conservation focuses on more tolerated predators.
13. How do Himalayan herding communities view wolves?
A. As sacred Buddhist beings.
B. As tricky, fearsome hunters.
C. Less threatening than snow leopards.
D. As necessary contributors to the ecosystem.
14. What effect may the overlook of wolf conservation have?
A. It puts snow leopards in danger.
B. It worsens locals’ bitterness of wolves.
C. It improves the alpine ecosystem balance.
D. It slows the protection of carnivores overall.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why Protect Snow Leopards More?
B. Who’s More Tolerated?
C. How to Save Wolves?
D. Where’s the Balance?

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。
Grandma worked as a housewife all her life. For decades, she cooked, cleaned, and cared for everyone in the family. When her children grew up and moved away, the busy rhythm that had filled her days disappeared overnight. The house stayed spotless, yet strangely lifeless. She often stood by the window, watching people hurrying by, as if the whole world were moving forward while she stood still, unsure of where she truly belonged. To fill the long afternoons, she picked up her old hobby — knitting (织). Most afternoons, her needles clicked softly in the quiet house. She kept knitting sweaters for me, though I never wore them — as a member of the school hands-on club, I admired her superb skills, but they felt too old-fashioned compared with what I could buy online. Still, she never seemed to mind, smiling as she went on knitting.
One day, I noticed her constantly talking to her phone. I thought she was calling a friend, but guess what? She was livestreaming, showing people online how to knit a sweater! I couldn’t believe it! The technology itself seemed far beyond her. “Maybe I can still be useful,” she told me with a shy smile as she balanced her phone against a teacup for support.
However, the comments online were far from friendly. “Who would watch this?” someone wrote. “Go take a rest, Granny,” another added. I saw her hands tremble for a moment before she steadied them again.
I wanted to fire back, but was stopped by Grandma. “Even if only one person learns things from me, it’s worth it.” Still, a quiet sadness remained in her eyes. Each evening, she sat under the lamp, her needles clicking busily, her voice soft but determined as she livestreamed to a nearly empty audience. Watching her persistence, I felt both proud and helpless — I longed to ease her struggle, yet the right way to reach her seemed just beyond my grasp.
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。
Then an idea hit me — Grandma could join our hands-on club!
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With club friends’ help, Grandma soon became an Internet celebrity as “Knitting Granny”.

Temidayo Adedokun, 31, who was born in Nigeria and now is working in America, became pregnant with her first child. She couldn’t hide her joy, and couldn’t wait to shop for baby clothes with traditional African prints that she grew up wearing.
“I was super surprised that I failed to find affordably priced African aesthetic (美学的) products that were designed from an authentic (正宗的) place,” Temidayo said.
Temidayo decided to take matters into her own hands. At first, she focused on creating clothes just for her baby. But then, she put some of them on a website to see what happened.
The feedback she got gave her just enough confidence. She figured she’d make the baby clothes an after-work side business to her full-time position as a lawyer in Oakland, California, until one day she was told she was given a boot. Once again, she needed to make her own choice. That’s when she decided to make it a full-time job.
“I had to evaluate: am I going to search for another job I don’t have a great desire for?” she said. “Or am I going to take this as a chance I’m not sure about myself? After all, I’m not familiar with this field. What if something unexpected happens? However, for the symbols of children’s clothing in my heart, I threw myself into it. So I chose the latter.” Then, in March 2020, Temidayo officially announced her own brand: Ade+ Ayo.
Since then, Temidayo has received much praise from other African parents informing her that her clothes help them start having conversations with their kids about what they’re wearing and allow them to show their children the treasures handed down by their ancestors. And, for those who aren’t African, her clothes have been a way for parents to introduce their kids to a new and colorful world. “I feel very blessed to be able to be doing this,” she said.
4. How did Temidayo feel after trying to buy African aesthetic clothes?
A. Pleased. B. Confident. C. Stressful. D. Disappointed.
5. What does the underlined phrase “given a boot” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. fired. B. allowed. C. informed. D. accused.
6. What did Temidayo originally think of her creating her own brand?
A. It was informal. B. It was profitable. C. It was risky. D. It was trendy.
7. How can we evaluate Ade+ Ayo?
A. It’s created African aesthetics. B. It’s spread authentic cultures.
C. It’s targeted overseas Africans. D. It’s inspired people’s creativity.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,文章主要讲的是31岁的Temidayo Adedokun在网上出售带有传统非洲图案的婴儿服装,获得了其他非洲父母的赞扬。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“I was super surprised that I failed to find affordably priced African aesthetic (美学的) products that were designed from an authentic (正宗的) place(我非常惊讶,竟然找不到价格实惠且源自真正非洲本土设计的美学产品)”可推知,没能买到价格实惠的非洲美学产品,她感到惊讶,同时也会觉得很失望,故选D。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“That’s when she decided to make it a full-time job.(就在那时,她决定把它变成一份全职工作)”可推知,她是在被开除后把卖衣服当做全职工作,因此“given a boot”的意思是“开除”,和fired意思相近,故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“After all, I’m not familiar with this field. What if something unexpected happens?(毕竟,我对这个领域并不熟悉。要是出现什么意想不到的情况怎么办?)”可知,Temidayo创建自己的品牌时最初是觉得很有风险的,因为她不熟悉这个领域,故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Since then, Temidayo has received much praise from other African parents informing her that her clothes help them start having conversations with their kids about what they’re wearing and allow them to show their children the treasures handed down by their ancestors. And, for those who aren’t African, her clothes have been a way for parents to introduce their kids to a new and colorful world.(从那以后,特梅迪约受到了其他非洲父母的诸多称赞,他们告诉她,她的服装有助于他们与孩子展开关于穿着的对话,并能让孩子们看到他们祖先留下的珍贵物品。而对于那些非非洲人来说,她的服装也为家长们提供了一个向孩子们介绍一个新奇多彩世界的方式)”可推知,Ade+Ayo这个品牌传播了真正的文化。故选B。

If your day starts with a harsh alarm sound, you might want to rethink your wake-up routine. New research from the University of Virginia’s School of Nursing suggests that the way you’re waking up could be putting unnecessary stress on your heart.
Nursing doctoral student Yeonsu Kim studied 32 participants and found that being forced awake — like by a loud phone alarm — can lead to a significant morning blood pressure surge. This happens when your body is suddenly shifted from sleep to wakefulness. And it was found to be 74% higher in participants who were awakened by an alarm after five hours of sleep compared to those who woke up naturally. And that’s no small concern — morning blood pressure surges have been linked to serious cardiovascular (心血管的) risks, including stroke and heart attack.
The increase in blood pressure activates your sympathetic nervous system — the same system that sets off the “fight or flight” response. That can lead to a rapid heartbeat, anxiety, exhaustion, and even physical symptoms like headaches and nosebleeds.
The good news? There are better, healthier ways to greet the day. Instead of relying on harsh alarms, many people are turning to gentler methods — and research backs them up. One popular option is a gradual light alarm, also known as a sunrise alarm clock. These devices imitate the rising sun by slowly increasing in brightness over a set period of time. The gentle light helps signal your body to reduce melatonin (褪黑激素) production and transition into wakefulness more naturally, reducing dizziness and morning stress.
There are also alarm apps that use soft music or nature sounds that gradually get louder, helping you wake without shocking your system. A 2020 study even found that melodic sounds — like a song you can sing along with — help reduce sleep inertia, a sleepy, heavy feeling that can linger for hours after waking up.
Small changes can make a big difference in how your body starts the day and your heart will thank you for it!
8. What physical symptoms can be caused by activating the sympathetic nervous system?
A. Nervousness and tiredness. B. Slower heartbeat.
C. Improved sleep quality. D. Reduced melatonin levels.
9. What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph?
A. The dangers of using traditional alarm clocks.
B. The importance of getting enough sleep every night.
C. The introduction and benefits of gradual light alarms.
D. How melatonin affects our sleep quality.
10. What can be inferred from the research findings mentioned in the passage?
A. People who wake up naturally never experience morning blood pressure surges.
B. Gradual waking methods may lower the risk of heart-related diseases.
C. Reducing melatonin production immediately improves cardiovascular health.
D. Loud alarms are the primary cause of strokes and heart attacks worldwide.
11. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To persuade us to stop using alarms.
B. To criticize modern sleep habits.
C. To compare different types of alarm sounds.
D. To explain the dangers of sudden wake-up methods
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第三段“The increase in blood pressure activates your sympathetic nervous system—the same system that sets off the “fight or flight” response. That can lead to a rapid heartbeat, anxiety, exhaustion, and even physical symptoms like headaches and nosebleeds.(血压升高会激活交感神经系统 —— 也就是触发“战斗或逃跑”反应的系统。这可能导致心跳加速、焦虑、疲惫,甚至出现头痛、流鼻血等身体症状。)”可知,激活交感神经系统会引发焦虑(紧张)和疲惫。故选A项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“One popular option is a gradual light alarm, also known as a sunrise alarm clock. These devices imitate the rising sun by slowly increasing in brightness over a set period of time. The gentle light helps signal your body to reduce melatonin production and transition into wakefulness more naturally, reducing dizziness and morning stress.(一种流行的选择是渐进式光线闹钟,也被称为日出闹钟。这类设备通过在设定时间内缓慢增加亮度来模拟日出。柔和的光线有助于提示身体减少褪黑激素分泌,更自然地过渡到清醒状态,减少头晕和早晨的压力。)”可知,该段核心是介绍渐进式光线闹钟及其好处。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“And that’s no small concern — morning blood pressure surges have been linked to serious cardiovascular risks, including stroke and heart attack.(这是一个不小的问题 —— 早晨血压飙升与严重的心血管风险有关,包括中风和心脏病发作。)”以及第四段中“Instead of relying on harsh alarms, many people are turning to gentler methods——and research backs them up. One popular option is a gradual light alarm, also known as a sunrise alarm clock. These devices imitate the rising sun by slowly increasing in brightness over a set period of time. The gentle light helps signal your body to reduce melatonin production and transition into wakefulness more naturally, reducing dizziness and morning stress.(许多人不再依赖严厉的警报,而是转向更温和的方法——研究也支持了他们的观点。一种流行的选择是渐进式光线闹钟,也被称为日出闹钟。这些装置模仿太阳升起,在一段固定的时间内缓慢增加亮度。柔和的光线可以帮助你的身体减少褪黑素的产生,更自然地过渡到清醒状态,减少头晕和早晨的压力。)”可推断出,渐进式唤醒方式可能会降低患心脏病相关疾病的风险。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“New research from the University of Virginia’s School of Nursing suggests that the way you’re waking up could be putting unnecessary stress on your heart.(弗吉尼亚大学护理学院的一项新研究表明,你醒来的方式可能会给你的心脏带来不必要的压力。)”及后文对突然被闹钟叫醒的危害介绍可知,本文的主要目的是解释突然唤醒方法的危害。故选D项。
D
The Himalayan wolf and snow leopard are top predators (捕食者) in alpine ecosystems. Across the diverse landscapes of the Asian highlands, herding (放牧) communities exhibit varying attitudes toward snow leopards and wolves. Although snow leopards cause greater livestock loss, these communities generally show greater tolerance and acceptance toward snow leopards. This illustrates the predator paradox, where the more damaging predator is contradictorily more tolerated.
Attitudes toward snow leopards and wolves in the Himalayas are shaped by factors like religion and culture. Snow leopards hold significant cultural and spiritual value, especially in Buddhism. Local folk tales boost snow leopards’ awe, portraying them as holy beings linked to spiritual beliefs of the communities. In contrast to the awe for snow leopards, wolves are widely disliked and feared. This negative view stems from folklore, where wolves are portrayed as sly (狡猾的) and merciless predators. These tales shape public view, fostering hostility (敌意) and fear toward wolves.
Conservation efforts in the Himalayas primarily concentrate on snow leopards, often overlooking other sympatric carnivores (食肉动物), like wolves. Consequently, programs for population monitoring, habitat preservation, and livestock insurance mainly benefit snow leopards, leaving wolves with minimal attention or resources. Additionally, key policy documents prioritize snow leopard conservation efforts, neglecting the ecological significance of wolves. This mistake slows down carnivore protection and makes local communities feel bitter toward wolves.
Interestingly, this difference exists despite both snow leopard and Himalayan wolf being globally classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.
Both snow leopards and wolves are crucial to the Himalayan ecosystem, but conservation has overwhelmingly favored snow leopards. This imbalance in attention and resources worsens the challenges faced by wolves, highlighting the need for a balanced approach to conserve both species effectively.
12. What phenomenon does the “predator paradox” describe in paragraph 1?
A. Top predators always cause livestock loss.
B. More harmful predators are more accepted locally.
C. Locals tolerate different top predators equally.
D. Conservation focuses on more tolerated predators.
13. How do Himalayan herding communities view wolves?
A. As sacred Buddhist beings.
B. As tricky, fearsome hunters.
C. Less threatening than snow leopards.
D. As necessary contributors to the ecosystem.
14. What effect may the overlook of wolf conservation have?
A. It puts snow leopards in danger.
B. It worsens locals’ bitterness of wolves.
C. It improves the alpine ecosystem balance.
D. It slows the protection of carnivores overall.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why Protect Snow Leopards More?
B. Who’s More Tolerated?
C. How to Save Wolves?
D. Where’s the Balance?
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出喜马拉雅地区的放牧社区对雪豹和狼存在态度差异,雪豹更受包容,而狼常被忽视,文章强调需平衡保护两者,以维护当地生态系统的稳定。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Although snow leopards cause greater livestock loss, these communities generally show greater tolerance and acceptance toward snow leopards. This illustrates the predator paradox, where the more damaging predator is contradictorily more tolerated.(尽管雪豹造成了更大的牲畜损失,但这些社区对雪豹却普遍表现出更大的容忍和接纳态度。这体现了“捕食者悖论”,即更具破坏性的捕食者反而更易得到容忍。)”可知,“捕食者悖论”描述的是尽管雪豹对牲畜造成的损失更大,但这些社区对雪豹却表现出更大的容忍和接受度,即更有害的捕食者在当地却更受欢迎,故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“In contrast to the awe for snow leopards, wolves are widely disliked and feared. This negative view stems from folklore, where wolves are portrayed as sly (狡猾的) and merciless predators.(与人们对雪豹的敬畏之情形成鲜明对比的是,狼普遍遭到厌恶和惧怕。这种负面看法源于民间传说,在这些故事中,狼被描绘成狡猾且无情的捕食者。)”可知,喜马拉雅的放牧社区将狼视为狡猾、可怕的猎手,故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Additionally, key policy documents prioritize snow leopard conservation efforts, neglecting the ecological significance of wolves. This mistake slows down carnivore protection and makes local communities feel bitter toward wolves.(此外,关键的政策文件将雪豹保护工作置于优先地位,却忽视了狼的生态重要性。这一失误减缓了食肉动物的保护进程,并引发了当地社区对狼的怨恨。)”可知,忽视狼的保护会减缓食肉动物的整体保护进程,故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Both snow leopards and wolves are crucial to the Himalayan ecosystem, but conservation has overwhelmingly favored snow leopards. This imbalance in attention and resources worsens the challenges faced by wolves, highlighting the need for a balanced approach to conserve both species effectively.(雪豹和狼对喜马拉雅生态系统而言都至关重要,但保护工作却绝大多数都倾向于雪豹。这种关注和资源分配上的不平衡加剧了狼所面临的挑战,凸显出需要采取平衡的方法来有效保护这两个物种。)”以及通读全文可知,文章主要讨论了雪豹和狼在喜马拉雅生态系统中的重要性,以及保护工作中存在的失衡问题,强调需要采取平衡的方法来有效保护这两个物种,因此D项“Where’s the Balance?(平衡在哪里?)”适合作为文章的标题。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了中国于9月3日在北京天安门广场举行阅兵仪式,以庆祝中国人民抗日战争暨世界反法西斯战争胜利80周年。文中阐述了阅兵的规模、展示的武器装备特点,强调此次阅兵旨在铭记历史、维护和平,还提及各界人士观看阅兵后的感受。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:9月3日,中国在北京天安门广场举行阅兵仪式,以庆祝中国人民抗日战争暨世界反法西斯战争胜利80周年。已有谓语动词“held”,此处应用非谓语动词作目的状语,表示举行阅兵仪式的目的是“庆祝……胜利”,所以用动词不定式to celebrate。故填to celebrate。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:阅兵期间,1万多名军人,以及100多架飞机和数百件地面武器,按照战时指挥结构编成45个方队。根据语境,事情发生在过去,应用一般过去时。主语“more than 10,000 military personnel, along with over 100 aircraft and hundreds of ground weapons”与“organize”之间是被动关系,即“这些人员和武器装备被组织”,所以用一般过去时的被动语态,其结构为“was/were +过去分词”。“along with”连接两个名词作主语时,谓语动词的数与前面的名词保持一致,前面的名词“more than 10,000 military personnel”是复数,所以用were organized。故填were organized。
【38题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:人民解放军的大多数新型支援和武器系统首次亮相,展示了中国在武器研发方面的自主创新能力。“put...on display”是固定短语,意为“展示;展览”,所以用on。故填on。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:人民解放军的大多数新型支援和武器系统首次亮相,展示了中国在武器研发方面的自主创新能力。已有谓语动词“were put on display”,此处应用非谓语动词。“most of the People’s Liberation Army’s new support and weapon systems”与“demonstrate(展示)”之间是主动关系,即这些武器系统的展示主动体现了中国的创新能力,所以用现在分词demonstrating作伴随状语,表示与“put on display”同时发生的动作。故填demonstrating。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:所有武器装备均为国产,具有更高的打击精度、更强的战场适应性和更大的效能。此处修饰动词“produced”,应用副词形式,domestic的副词是domestically,意为“在国内;国产地”。故填domestically。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意:中国人民为捍卫世界和平做出了重大贡献,这是世界反法西斯战争的重要组成部分。“an important part of...”是固定搭配,意为“……的一个重要部分”,important是以元音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词an。故填an。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意:这次阅兵并非为了炫耀武力,而是为了铭记历史、坚守和平。“not...but...”是固定搭配,意为“不是……而是……”,连接两个并列的成分,符合语境。故填but。
【43题详解】
考查状语从句。句意:警察吴佳妮表示,这次纪念活动如此感人,以至于她感觉与八十年前的人们产生了强烈的情感共鸣。“so...that...”是固定句型,意为“如此……以至于……”,引导结果状语从句,符合语境。故填that。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:“受到战时英雄奉献精神的鼓舞,我们将继续以战士们在战争中展现出的同样的奉献精神为人民服务。”她补充道。分析句子结构,已有谓语动词“will continue”,此处应用非谓语动词。“we”与“inspire(鼓舞)”之间是被动关系,即“我们被鼓舞”,所以用过去分词Inspired作状语,表被动和完成。句首单词首字母大写,故填Inspired。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意:“受到战时英雄奉献精神的鼓舞,我们将继续以战士们在战争中展现出的同样的奉献精神为人民服务。”她补充道。根据空前的“the same”可知,此处应填名词作宾语,commit的名词形式是commitment,意为“奉献;承诺”,在这里表示“战士们的奉献精神”,作介词with的宾语。故填commitment。

Dear editor,
I am a Senior 3 student.

【答案】例文
Dear editor,
I am a Senior 3 student. Knowing that English Learning Newspaper is launching an activity to improve our oral English, I strongly recommend holding an English speech contest, which I believe would be very helpful.
First of all, preparing for a speech requires students to write their own drafts, which fosters independent thinking and language organization skills. More importantly, singing focuses on melody and memorization, which does little to develop the ability to organize and express one’s own ideas. Therefore, I am convinced that a speech contest would improve our spoken English more effectively.
I would appreciate it if you could take my suggestion into consideration. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

第三节(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。
Grandma worked as a housewife all her life. For decades, she cooked, cleaned, and cared for everyone in the family. When her children grew up and moved away, the busy rhythm that had filled her days disappeared overnight. The house stayed spotless, yet strangely lifeless. She often stood by the window, watching people hurrying by, as if the whole world were moving forward while she stood still, unsure of where she truly belonged. To fill the long afternoons, she picked up her old hobby — knitting (织). Most afternoons, her needles clicked softly in the quiet house. She kept knitting sweaters for me, though I never wore them — as a member of the school hands-on club, I admired her superb skills, but they felt too old-fashioned compared with what I could buy online. Still, she never seemed to mind, smiling as she went on knitting.
One day, I noticed her constantly talking to her phone. I thought she was calling a friend, but guess what? She was livestreaming, showing people online how to knit a sweater! I couldn’t believe it! The technology itself seemed far beyond her. “Maybe I can still be useful,” she told me with a shy smile as she balanced her phone against a teacup for support.
However, the comments online were far from friendly. “Who would watch this?” someone wrote. “Go take a rest, Granny,” another added. I saw her hands tremble for a moment before she steadied them again.
I wanted to fire back, but was stopped by Grandma. “Even if only one person learns things from me, it’s worth it.” Still, a quiet sadness remained in her eyes. Each evening, she sat under the lamp, her needles clicking busily, her voice soft but determined as she livestreamed to a nearly empty audience. Watching her persistence, I felt both proud and helpless — I longed to ease her struggle, yet the right way to reach her seemed just beyond my grasp.
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。
Then an idea hit me — Grandma could join our hands-on club!

With club friends’ help, Grandma soon became an Internet celebrity as “Knitting Granny”.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Then an idea hit me — Grandma could join our hands-on club! The next week, she arrived with her basket of colorful yarn. As she started knitting, she chatted about her craft, her fingers dancing over the needles and yarn. My club friends crowded around, bursting with questions: “How do you make this pattern?” “Do you knit for kids?” Grandma smiled, pausing to demonstrate. Later, we helped her adjust the camera angle for clear close-ups, pick trendy background music, and provide youth-friendly sweater designs, making her livestream far more engaging.
With club friends’ help, Grandma soon became an Internet celebrity as “Knitting Granny”. Having attracted thousands of followers, she went on to showcase more patterns online. Comments changed from teasing to admiration: “I wish my grandma could teach me like this!” “So heartwarming!” She even sparked a trend called “warm fashion”, inspiring young people to knit family gifts and share stories of connection. No longer lonely, she found rhythm and purpose in life again. As I slipped on the sweater she had made for me, it struck me that Grandma hadn’t simply regained her place — she had redefined it.
