Gitanjali Rao, born in 2005, is an Indian American writer and scientist. Her parents, who both worked in education, encouraged her curiosity and love for learning. When she was four years old, her uncle gave her a science set. This small gift got her very interested in how things work.

Rao is also a writer. Her first book, Baby Brother Wonders, came out in 2015 when she was just ten. In 2020, she published A Young Person’s Guide to Science and Technology. That same year, TIME Magazine chose her as the first ever Kid of the Year, featuring her on its cover. She also received other important awards including a place on Forbes Magazine’s 30 Under 30 list.
Outside of science, Rao enjoys Indian classical dance, singing and playing the piano. She has shared her ideas at TEDx events and appeared in a Marvel television show. Her story teaches us that young people can make a big difference in the world.

What are the limits of the human body? Is there a point at which it is physically impossible to do something?
“One thing we’ve all learned in the last 30 years or so is that just about anything is humanly possible,” says Dr. Jack Wilmore, author of Physiology of Sport and Exercise. “As time goes by, I think you’ll see more records continue to fall in every sport. The talent pool is better than ever. With more and better athletes joining in and competing, records will fall and new ones will be set.”
Many believed it was physically impossible for a human to run a mile in under four minutes, but Roger Bannister proved that was wrong, with a three-minute, 59-second mile in 1954. Today, sub-four-minute miles are considered ordinary even in high school. And Bob Beamon amazed the whole world in the 1968 Olympics with his historic long jump of 8. 90 metres. In an event where a record is usually broken by me re inches, he broke the previous jump record by more than 21 inches, but even his record was broken in 1991.
One factor is now becoming more understood and paid more attention to: sports psychology (心理学). Getting inside the athlete’s head can be as effective as training and long workouts. According to Wilmore, the psychological factor of sports has become more and more valued. He thinks highly of most teams’ hiring (雇佣) professional sports psychologists to work for their players.
What’s more, everything in the sports field — training, nutrition (营养), injury treatment — is far better than it’s ever been. “Besides, children today are more likely to focus on one or two sports instead of competing in several as was common twenty-five years ago,” Wilmore says. “That means they start concentrating on a sport much earlier and put more effort into it, and thus they become much better at it.”
“There’s a lot we don’t know yet about the human body,” he adds. “And one of those things is can do.” the full range of human potential. It would be foolish to try and put limits on what the human body can do.”
8. What can we learn from Dr. Jack Wilmore’s words?
A. Athletes will become the most popular people.
B. It will be tougher for athletes to break former records.
C. It is necessary for athletes to learn the limits of the body.
D. Athletes will continue to surprise us with their achievements.
9. Why are Roger Bannister and Bob Beamon mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. To introduce two great athletes.
B. To show some of the latest world records.
C. To prove the limits of the body can be pushed.
D. To explain what athletes can achieve under stress.
10. What is Wilmore’s attitude towards the practice of hiring professional sports psychologists?
A. Appreciative. B. Unconcerned. C. Doubtful. D. Objective.
11. How are today’s children different from those 25 years ago according to Wilmore?
A. They take part in far more sports.
B. They are less likely to get injured in sports.
C. They begin playing sports at a much earlier age.
D. They become more skilful at one particular sport.
D
Use food to ease your moods? The time of meals may have an impact on moods, including levels of depression and anxiety, according to researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
To conduct the study, 19 participants (12 men and 7 women) were arranged to experience a Forced Process in a dark room for four 28-hour “days”. Participants were assigned to one of two meal timing groups: the Daytime and Nighttime Meal Control Group, which had meals according to a 28-hour cycle (resulting in eating both during the night and day, which is typical among night workers), and the Daytime Only Meal Group, which had meals on a 24-hour cycle (resulting in eating only during the day). The team then assessed depression and anxiety like mood levels every hour.
The result showed that meal timing significantly affected the participants’ mood levels. During the simulated (模拟的) night shift (day 4), those in the Daytime and Nighttime Meal Control Group had increased depression and anxiety like mood levels, compared to the baseline(day 1). In contrast, there were no changes in mood in the Daytime Only Meal Group. Participants with a greater degree of circadian(昼夜节律的) disorder experienced more depression and anxiety like moods.
Researchers discovered that among individuals in the daytime and nighttime eating groups, anxiety and depression rose by 16% and 26% individually. A famous author Sarah Chellappa, who completed work on this project, said, “Meal timing is emerging as an important aspect of nutrition that may influence physical health, but the causal role of the timing of food intake in affecting mental health remains to be tested. Future studies are required to establish if changes in meal timing can lead individuals to experience anxiety-related disorders.”
The findings open the door for studying a behavioral strategy that might benefit individuals suffering from mental health disorders such as shift workers. The study also adds to a growing body of evidence finding that strategies that improve sleep and circadian patterns may help promote mental health.
12. How is the study carried out according to the text?
A. By presenting cause and effect.
B. By examining the participants’ eating habits.
C. By recording the eating time in various groups.
D. By comparing data from two different groups.
13. Which of the following will the researchers probably agree with?
A. Daytime eating might benefit mental health.
B. It’s unavoidable for people to eat at the wrong time.
C. Nighttime meal is harmful and should be prohibited.
D. It’s necessary to keep track of our mood levels each day.
14. What does the follow-up test aim to find out according to Sarah Chellappa?
A. How food intake affects human’s moods.
B. Whether changes in meal timing cause emotional problems.
C. Whether food nutrition is related to mental health.
D. Why shift workers suffer from mental health disorders.
15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Meal Timing Reduces Pressure B. Meal Timing May Affect Moods
C. Mood Disorders Result in Anxiety D. Good Strategies Benefit Our Health

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We all know that we should exercise more, but for many people, the biggest psychological obstacle (心理障碍) is that they feel they simply can’t spare an hour. If you have ever felt guilty for not exercising or have encountered difficulties in time management, then “exercise snacks” might be the solution.
“Exercise snacks” is a new term, referring to short, conscious exercises lasting no more than five minutes. ____16____ Unlike the junk food snacks of the “couch potato” type, these “exercise snacks” are a guilt-free way that makes improving health conditions doable.
A systematic review and analysis found that exercise snacks can significantly improve the cardio-pulmonary (心肺的) function of people who are not physically active. ____17____ As the authors explain, exercise snacks may enhance commitment to regular physical activity by providing short, flexible exercise periods that are easier to integrate into daily routines.
____18____ Instead of carving out an hour at the gym, incorporate (合并) short periods of movement (five minutes or less) into your routine at least twice a day, and make it a habit.
Psychologically snacking on exercise impacts the workout effect. ____19____It’s more about taking advantage of small windows of opportunity in a practical and realistic way.
Achievable goals can inspire motivation. A task that takes only five minutes feels manageable, and the satisfying “ding, ding, ding” feeling of successfully completing a small snack exercise releases the “reward molecule (分子)” — dopamine, therefore strengthening the formation of habits. ____20____
A. It’s less about discipline or willpower.
B. Climbing stairs in your office building also works.
C. They are particularly effective for those who sit for long.
D. Fitness isn’t something you have to do in big blocks of time.
E. The concept challenges the traditional “all-or-nothing” mindset.
F. Therefore, the key is to do them several times throughout the day.
G. These small wins build confidence, the belief in your ability to succeed.

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 day Mohamed went to a fine food store in his new neighborhood, he realized that he really wasn’t in Tunisia anymore. He looked up at the menu board, which had nothing but sandwiches on it, and wondered how he was going to figure out what all of these strange names meant. Mohamed decided that he would just get dessert instead and asked the woman at the counter for ice cream in a cup. She smiled broadly and disappeared behind the big glass display case to fill his order.
While Mohamed waited, he looked at the baked goods in the case. There were sixteen kinds of bagels (百吉饼) and a few different types of cookies that Mohamed didn’t recognize, but there were no pies and definitely nothing from home. Mohamed had been so excited when his parents told him they were immigrating to the United States, but now, his bravery and excitement felt a little out of place.
The woman came back to the counter with a tall paper cup. It contained a long straw and some kind of frothy (有泡沫的) drink. Mohamed, completely confused, took the cup and thanked her, considering the possibility that he had used the wrong word.
“It’s the soda you ordered,” she said, “an ice cream drink in a cup.”
He smiled at the woman again, pointed at one of the bagels, and said, “That one, too, please,” which seemed to work better.
Mohamed took the bagel and his mystery soda to a table and sat down to eat. Why was it that English had been so easy for him in his classes in Tunisia, but when it came down to actually speaking, he couldn’t even get what he wanted to eat?
Later, he might find it funny that his English was so hard to figure out that he got a soda instead of the ice cream he wanted. Right now, it just felt depressing that his English was, he thought, disappointing. One mistake seemed to put everything Mohamed wanted or knew about himself impossible to reach.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: The next day, Mohamed made a plan to engage deeply in English.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: One day, he decided to return to the store where he had his first frustrating experience.

What are the limits of the human body? Is there a point at which it is physically impossible to do something?
“One thing we’ve all learned in the last 30 years or so is that just about anything is humanly possible,” says Dr. Jack Wilmore, author of Physiology of Sport and Exercise. “As time goes by, I think you’ll see more records continue to fall in every sport. The talent pool is better than ever. With more and better athletes joining in and competing, records will fall and new ones will be set.”
Many believed it was physically impossible for a human to run a mile in under four minutes, but Roger Bannister proved that was wrong, with a three-minute, 59-second mile in 1954. Today, sub-four-minute miles are considered ordinary even in high school. And Bob Beamon amazed the whole world in the 1968 Olympics with his historic long jump of 8. 90 metres. In an event where a record is usually broken by me re inches, he broke the previous jump record by more than 21 inches, but even his record was broken in 1991.
One factor is now becoming more understood and paid more attention to: sports psychology (心理学). Getting inside the athlete’s head can be as effective as training and long workouts. According to Wilmore, the psychological factor of sports has become more and more valued. He thinks highly of most teams’ hiring (雇佣) professional sports psychologists to work for their players.
What’s more, everything in the sports field — training, nutrition (营养), injury treatment — is far better than it’s ever been. “Besides, children today are more likely to focus on one or two sports instead of competing in several as was common twenty-five years ago,” Wilmore says. “That means they start concentrating on a sport much earlier and put more effort into it, and thus they become much better at it.”
“There’s a lot we don’t know yet about the human body,” he adds. “And one of those things is can do.” the full range of human potential. It would be foolish to try and put limits on what the human body can do.”
8. What can we learn from Dr. Jack Wilmore’s words?
A. Athletes will become the most popular people.
B. It will be tougher for athletes to break former records.
C. It is necessary for athletes to learn the limits of the body.
D. Athletes will continue to surprise us with their achievements.
9. Why are Roger Bannister and Bob Beamon mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. To introduce two great athletes.
B. To show some of the latest world records.
C. To prove the limits of the body can be pushed.
D. To explain what athletes can achieve under stress.
10. What is Wilmore’s attitude towards the practice of hiring professional sports psychologists?
A. Appreciative. B. Unconcerned. C. Doubtful. D. Objective.
11. How are today’s children different from those 25 years ago according to Wilmore?
A. They take part in far more sports.
B. They are less likely to get injured in sports.
C. They begin playing sports at a much earlier age.
D. They become more skilful at one particular sport.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. D

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讨论了人体的限制。根据作者提到的专家意见,人类体能的极限是没有明确界定的,随着时间的推移,运动记录将会不断被打破。心理因素也被认为在运动训练中起着重要作用。此外,现代运动领域中的训练、营养和伤病治疗等方面都比以往更加先进。总之,人体的潜力尚未完全被揭示,无法对其能力设限。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段““One thing we’ve all learned in the last 30 years or so is that just about anything is humanly possible,” says Dr. Jack Wilmore, author of Physiology of Sport and Exercise. “As time goes by, I think you’ll see more records continue to fall in every sport. The talent pool is better than ever. With more and better athletes joining in and competing, records will fall and new ones will be set.” (“在过去30年左右的时间里,我们都明白了一件事,那就是几乎任何事情都是人类可能做到的,”《运动与运动生理学》的作者杰克·威尔莫尔博士说。“随着时间的推移,我认为你会在每项运动中看到更多的记录继续被打破。人才储备比以往任何时候都好。随着更多、更好的运动员参与和竞争,记录将被打破,新的标准将被设定。”)”可知,随着时间的推移,每项运动中会看到更多的记录继续被打破,由此新的标准将被设定。由此推知,威尔莫尔可能会同意的观点是运动员将继续用他们的成就给我们带来惊喜。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Many believed it was physically impossible for a human to run a mile in under four minutes, but Roger Bannister proved that was wrong, with a three-minute, 59-second mile in 1954. (许多人认为,从生理上讲,人类不可能在4分钟内跑完1英里,但罗杰·班尼斯特在1954年以3分59秒跑完1英里的成绩证明了这一理论是错误的)”可推知,第三段提到了Roger Bannister和Bob Beamon的例子是为了证明身体的极限是可以突破的。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“He thinks highly of most teams’ hiring (雇佣) professional sports psychologists to work for their players. (他对大多数球队聘请专业运动心理学家为球员工作的做法给予了高度评价)”可推知,威尔莫尔对聘请专业运动心理学家的做法的态度是赞赏的。A选项“Appreciative.(赞赏的)”符合题意。故选A项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中““Besides, children today are more likely to focus on one or two sports instead of competing in several as was common twenty-five years ago,” Wilmore says. “That means they start concentrating on a sport much earlier and put more effort into it, and thus they become much better at it.”(“此外,如今的孩子更有可能专注于一到两项运动,而不是像25年前那样同时参加几项运动,”威尔默说。“这意味着他们开始更早地专注于一项运动,投入更多的努力,因此他们在这项运动上做得更好。”)”可知,今天的孩子和25年前的孩子的不同之处在于他们在一项特定的运动中变得更加熟练。故选D项。

Use food to ease your moods? The time of meals may have an impact on moods, including levels of depression and anxiety, according to researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
To conduct the study, 19 participants (12 men and 7 women) were arranged to experience a Forced Process in a dark room for four 28-hour “days”. Participants were assigned to one of two meal timing groups: the Daytime and Nighttime Meal Control Group, which had meals according to a 28-hour cycle (resulting in eating both during the night and day, which is typical among night workers), and the Daytime Only Meal Group, which had meals on a 24-hour cycle (resulting in eating only during the day). The team then assessed depression and anxiety like mood levels every hour.
The result showed that meal timing significantly affected the participants’ mood levels. During the simulated (模拟的) night shift (day 4), those in the Daytime and Nighttime Meal Control Group had increased depression and anxiety like mood levels, compared to the baseline(day 1). In contrast, there were no changes in mood in the Daytime Only Meal Group. Participants with a greater degree of circadian(昼夜节律的) disorder experienced more depression and anxiety like moods.
Researchers discovered that among individuals in the daytime and nighttime eating groups, anxiety and depression rose by 16% and 26% individually. A famous author Sarah Chellappa, who completed work on this project, said, “Meal timing is emerging as an important aspect of nutrition that may influence physical health, but the causal role of the timing of food intake in affecting mental health remains to be tested. Future studies are required to establish if changes in meal timing can lead individuals to experience anxiety-related disorders.”
The findings open the door for studying a behavioral strategy that might benefit individuals suffering from mental health disorders, such as shift workers. The study also adds to a growing body of evidence finding that strategies that improve sleep and circadian patterns may help promote mental health.
12. How is the study carried out according to the text?
A. By presenting cause and effect.
B. By examining the participants’ eating habits.
C. By recording the eating time in various groups.
D. By comparing data from two different groups.
13. Which of the following will the researchers probably agree with?
A. Daytime eating might benefit mental health.
B. It’s unavoidable for people to eat at the wrong time.
C. Nighttime meal is harmful and should be prohibited.
D. It’s necessary to keep track of our mood levels each day.
14. What does the follow-up test aim to find out according to Sarah Chellappa?
A. How food intake affects human’s moods.
B. Whether changes in meal timing cause emotional problems.
C. Whether food nutrition is related to mental health.
D. Why shift workers suffer from mental health disorders.
15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Meal Timing Reduces Pressure B. Meal Timing May Affect Moods
C. Mood Disorders Result in Anxiety D. Good Strategies Benefit Our Health
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. B

【导语】这是一篇说明文。我们平时忽略了就餐时间的重要性,殊不知看似很普通的就餐时间却对人类的情绪有很大的影响。因此,研究人员把就餐时间与情绪关系的研究纳入影响人类身体健康的一个重要方面。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的 “To conduct the study, 19 participants (12 men and 7 women) were arranged to experience a Forced Process in a dark room for four 28-hour ‘days’. (为了进行这项研究,19名参与者(12名男性和7名女性)被安排在黑暗的房间里经历四个28小时的强迫过程。)” 和第三段中的 “During the simulated (模拟的) night shift (day 4), those in the Daytime and Nighttime Meal Control Group had increased depression and anxiety like mood levels, compared to the baseline(day 1).(在模拟夜班(第4天)期间,与基线(第1天)相比,日间和夜间膳食对照组的抑郁和焦虑样情绪水平增加。)” 可知,在该研究中研究人员先采用分组法,然后模拟真实情景并对比分析两组的数据,故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“In contrast, there were no changes in mood in the Daytime Only Meal Group. Participants with a greater degree of circadian(昼夜节律的) disorder experienced more depression and anxiety like moods.(相比之下,仅限日间用餐组的情绪没有变化。昼夜节律紊乱程度较高的参与者经历了更多的抑郁和焦虑样情绪。)”可知,就餐时间对人的情绪有很大影响,“只在白天吃饭的一组”的(组员)情绪没有变化;昼夜节律紊乱程度高的人可能会产生更多的抑郁和焦虑情绪。由此可知,白天就餐也许有益于身心健康。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段中的 “Future studies are required to establish if changes in meal timing can lead individuals to experience anxiety-related disorders.(未来的研究需要确定用餐时间的变化是否会导致个体出现焦虑相关障碍。) ” 可知,未来的研究是要弄明白就餐时间的改变是否会使人产生焦虑或抑郁情绪。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段 “Use food to ease your moods? The time of meals may have an impact on moods, including levels of depression and anxiety, according to researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.(用食物来缓解你的情绪?布莱根妇女医院的研究人员表示,用餐时间可能会对情绪产生影响,包括抑郁和焦虑程度。)” 和第三段第一句 “The result showed that meal timing significantly affected the participants mood levels.(结果表明,用餐时间对参与者的情绪水平有显著影响。) ” 以及最后一段的内容可知,本文主要讲述的是,就餐时间会对人的情绪产生影响。故选B项。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We all know that we should exercise more, but for many people, the biggest psychological obstacle (心理障碍) is that they feel they simply can’t spare an hour. If you have ever felt guilty for not exercising or have encountered difficulties in time management, then “exercise snacks” might be the solution.
“Exercise snacks” is a new term, referring to short, conscious exercises lasting no more than five minutes. ____16____ Unlike the junk food snacks of the “couch potato” type, these “exercise snacks” are a guilt-free way that makes improving health conditions doable.
A systematic review and analysis found that exercise snacks can significantly improve the cardio-pulmonary (心肺的) function of people who are not physically active. ____17____ As the authors explain, exercise snacks may enhance commitment to regular physical activity by providing short, flexible exercise periods that are easier to integrate into daily routines.
____18____ Instead of carving out an hour at the gym, incorporate (合并) short periods of movement (five minutes or less) into your routine at least twice a day, and make it a habit.
Psychologically, snacking on exercise impacts the workout effect. ____19____It’s more about taking advantage of small windows of opportunity in a practical and realistic way.
Achievable goals can inspire motivation. A task that takes only five minutes feels manageable, and the satisfying “ding, ding, ding” feeling of successfully completing a small snack exercise releases the “reward molecule (分子)” — dopamine, therefore strengthening the formation of habits. ____20____
A. It’s less about discipline or willpower.
B. Climbing stairs in your office building also works.
C. They are particularly effective for those who sit for long.
D. Fitness isn’t something you have to do in big blocks of time.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“运动零食”这一新概念,旨在帮助那些因时间紧张而无法进行长时间锻炼的人改善健康状况。
【16题详解】
根据上文““Exercise snacks” is a new term, referring to short, conscious exercises lasting no more than five minutes.(“运动零食”是一个新术语,指的是持续时间不超过五分钟的短而有意识的运动。)”和下文“Unlike the junk food snacks of the “couch potato” type, these “exercise snacks” are a guilt-free way that makes improving health conditions doable.(与“沙发土豆”类型的垃圾食品零食不同,这些“运动零食”是一种无罪的方式,使改善健康状况成为可能。”可知,上文介绍“运动零食”是持续不超过5分钟的短时间有意识运动,下文强调其区别于垃圾食品,是无负罪感、可实现的健康改善方式。空处需衔接“运动零食”的概念与传统运动观念的差异。E选项“这一概念挑战了传统的‘要么全做要么不做’的思维模式”,既承接了“运动零食”的新定义,又引出其与传统运动(需要长时间投入)的不同,符合上下文逻辑。故选E。
【17题详解】
根据上文“A systematic review and analysis found that exercise snacks can significantly improve the cardio-pulmonary (心肺的) function of people who are not physically active.(一项系统性综述与分析发现,“运动零食”能显著改善缺乏运动人群的心肺功能。)”可知,上文提到系统分析发现“运动零食”能显著改善不运动人群的心肺功能,空处需进一步说明其适用人群或具体效果。C选项“它们对久坐人群尤其有效”,是对上文“不运动人群”的具体细化,且与“改善心肺功能”的效果相呼应,符合语境。故选C。
【18题详解】
根据下文“Instead of carving out an hour at the gym, incorporate (合并) short periods of movement (five minutes or less) into your routine at least twice a day, and make it a habit.(不必专门在健身房腾出一小时锻炼,而是每天至少两次把短时活动(五分钟或更短)融入日常生活,并养成习惯。)”可知,下文建议无需在健身房腾出一小时,而是将短时间运动融入日常,形成习惯。空处需提出核心观点,引导后续的具体建议。D 选项“健身不一定需要大块的时间来完成”直接否定了传统的长时间运动观念,与下文的“短时间运动融入日常” 形成因果关系,符合逻辑。故选D。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Psychologically, snacking on exercise impacts the workout effect.(从心理上讲,运动零食会影响锻炼效果。)”和下文“It’s more about taking advantage of small windows of opportunity in a practical and realistic way.(更多的是以实际和现实的方式利用小的时间窗口。)”可知,上文提到从心理角度,“运动零食”会影响锻炼效果,下文强调其更注重利用零碎机会,实际且现实。空处需衔接心理层面的两种不同侧重点(否定前者,肯定后者)。A选项“它不太关乎自律或意志力”,与下文“更关乎利用零碎机会”形成“less about...more about...”的对比结构,符合上下文的逻辑衔接。故选A。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Achievable goals can inspire motivation. A task that takes only five minutes feels manageable, and the satisfying “ding, ding, ding” feeling of successfully completing a small snack exercise releases the “reward molecule (分子)”— dopamine, therefore strengthening the formation of habits.(可实现的目标可以激发动力。一个只需要五分钟的任务感觉是可以管理的,而且成功完成一个小零食运动的令人满意的‘叮,叮,叮’的感觉会释放‘奖励分子’——多巴胺,从而加强习惯的形成。)”可知,上文提到五分钟的小任务容易完成,完成后会释放多巴胺,强化习惯养成。空处需进一步说明这些小成就的长远影响。G选项 “这些小成功能建立自信,即对自己成功能力的信念”,是对上文“小任务完成带来的积极效果”的延伸,符合语境。故选G。

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 day Mohamed went to a fine food store in his new neighborhood, he realized that he really wasn’t in Tunisia anymore. He looked up at the menu board, which had nothing but sandwiches on it, and wondered how he was going to figure out what all of these strange names meant. Mohamed decided that he would just get dessert instead and asked the woman at the counter for ice cream in a cup. She smiled broadly and disappeared behind the big glass display case to fill his order.
While Mohamed waited, he looked at the baked goods in the case. There were sixteen kinds of bagels (百吉饼) and a few different types of cookies that Mohamed didn’t recognize, but there were no pies and definitely nothing from home. Mohamed had been so excited when his parents told him they were immigrating to the United States, but now, his bravery and excitement felt a little out of place.
The woman came back to the counter with a tall paper cup. It contained a long straw and some kind of frothy (有泡沫的) drink. Mohamed, completely confused, took the cup and thanked her, considering the possibility that he had used the wrong word.
“It’s the soda you ordered,” she said, “an ice cream drink in a cup.”
He smiled at the woman again, pointed at one of the bagels, and said, “That one, too, please,” which seemed to work better.
Mohamed took the bagel and his mystery soda to a table and sat down to eat. Why was it that English had been so easy for him in his classes in Tunisia, but when it came down to actually speaking, he couldn’t even get what he wanted to eat?
Later, he might find it funny that his English was so hard to figure out that he got a soda instead of the ice cream he wanted. Right now, it just felt depressing that his English was, he thought, disappointing. One mistake seemed to put everything Mohamed wanted or knew about himself impossible to reach.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: The next day, Mohamed made a plan to engage deeply in English.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: One day, he decided to return to the store where he had his first frustrating experience.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The next day, Mohamed made a plan to engage deeply in English. He started by watching American TV shows and listening to English music. At first, he struggled to understand the fast-paced dialogue and lyrics, but he didn’t give up. Instead, he used subtitles and lyrics websites to help him follow along. Mohamed also joined a local English language class, where he met other immigrants who were facing similar challenges. They became close friends and studied together, supporting each other through the ups and downs of learning a new language. Over time, Mohamed’s English skills improved dramatically. He was able to hold conversations with strangers, order food al restaurants, and even understand complicated lectures at school.
One day, he decided to return to the store where he had his first frustrating experience. This time, he confidently ordered a chocolate ice cream in a cup, without any mistakes. The woman at the counter smiled and handed him his dessert, and for a moment, Mohamed felt a sense of accomplishment. He realized that making mistakes was an essential part of learning and growing. And even though he had faced challenges, he had never given up. Mohamed knew that there were still many more adventures waiting for him in America. But he was ready for them, armed with his newfound confidence and skills. And as he looked out the window of the store, he felt excited about the possibilities that lay ahead.
