Are poems better than books?
Poetry offers readers a different way of experiencing the written word.
What you need to know
※ The oldest known long poem is The Epic of Gilgamesh, which was written about 4,000 years ago.
※ Poems often have emotional themes and use rhythm, rhyme and line breaks to convey their meaning.
※ Studies show that reading, watching or listening to poetry can improve well-being, empathy and learning.
※ In September, the Library of Congress named Arthur Sze the next US Poet Laureate (桂冠诗人), a position that fosters appreciation for poetry in the nation.
There are many different forms of poetry, such as 14-line rhyming sonnets (十四行诗), three-line haikus (俳句) with exactly 17 syllables (音节), long and complicated odes (赋), and limericks that make you laugh out loud. William Shakespeare wrote sonnets about love, while Emily Dickinson wrote short lyric poems about life, death and domestic life. Epic poems, like Beowulf, tell tales of heroes and monsters. Many of Maya Angelou’s poems addressed themes of resilience (恢复力) and social justice, while Amanda Gorman writes about hope and change. There’s a poem for everyone, and some people say poetry is superior to longer works.
Are poems better than books?
YES Three reasons poems are better than books
1. Poems can be short and sweet, letting you read something beautiful and meaningful in a few minutes.
2. Whether it’s song lyrics, raps or short verses, it’s fun to memorize poetry and share it with friends.
3. One collection of poems can take you on a journey through a wide variety of themes.
NO Three reasons poems are not better than books
1. You can immerse yourself in a book for days, weeks or months. Poems are usually too short for that.
2. When you read a book, you go on a meaningful journey with the characters and step into their world.
3. Poems can be open-ended and hard to get, while books have a satisfying ending.
What do you think?

B
Recently I had a terrible experience at a Trader Joe’s grocery store. The cashier was remarkably rude to me in a place that is typically known for having great customer service. I came away from the experience first thinking “What did I do to deserve this treatment…”. Then after some thought I came to the realization that this person was more than likely having a bad day and I just happen to be the one they let it out on.
I decided to give the grocery chain another chance so I visited a different location on the other side of town. I was not familiar with the layout and asked an employee for help. They were so kind. I opened up about my past experience at the other location. She reassured me this was my new store and showed me where they kept the coffee. When I got to the register the folks helping me out were so kind, I mentioned the bad experience and how I’ve decided this was my new store. The gentleman helping me stepped away for a second and came back with a small handful of flowers and said “I know this isn’t much, but I wanted to give this to you.” It meant more than that man could ever know.
I am a special-need mom and take my son with autism(自闭症)with me everywhere I go, I also carry around my toddler and with the two sometimes we can be really loud. I get lots of looks, questioning my chaos. This gentleman set all those insecurities aside and showed me in a simple way he cared and I was valued. It made my day. I was able to pass the flowers off to my 4-year old and she fell asleep holding them on our way home. She was so happy about the flowers!
Whenever I see something unkind happen I am reminded that I can always turn the tables and bring kind-ness to someone in need no matter how small the gesture it can have a wonderful ripple (涟漪) effect.
4. What did the author experience at the store?
A. She was having great customer service. B. She was badly treated without a reason.
C. She behaved badly and was driven out. D. She was told he didn’t deserve a treatment.
5. What did the gentleman at the new store do for the author?
A. He guided her through the layout. B. He gave her a gift as a comfort.
C. He helped her find the coffee section. D. He introduced her to other employees.
6. How did the author feel about the experience at the new store?
A. Relieved and touched. B. Surprised and confused.
C. Anxious and disappointed. D. Indifferent and annoyed.
7. What does the author’s experience show?
A. Special-need families deserve more care.
B Rudeness in service should be criticized.
C. Small acts of kindness can make a difference.
D. Stores should improve their customer service.
C
A challenge is a situation that tests your abilities. It needs hard work and courage to get through. Challenges come from many sources, and knowing where they come from is the first step toward dealing with them well.
The sources of challenges are often two-part: external (外部的) and internal. External challenges come from the world around you. For example, moving to a new school, getting used to new study methods, or facing more competition from classmates. Unexpected things, like sudden exams or group project pressure, can also be external challenges. Internal challenges come from yourself. They might be not having enough skills, not knowing some knowledge, or feeling frightened and unsure about yourself — these things can slow down your progress. Often, the hardest challenges mix both external pressure and internal worries.
Successfully managing challenges requires a step-by-step method. First, look at the situation clearly and honestly. If a challenge feels too big, divide it into small, easy-to-do tasks. For example, instead of being unconfident with a big project, focus on completing the first small research. Secondly, actively look for resources (资源) and support. This could be about learning new knowledge through study, improving skills with practice, or depending on the guidance of teachers and the encouragement of friends. Having people to support you gives not only useful tips but also courage and strength. Finally, build resilience. Setbacks (挫折) are a certain part on the path to any meaningful goal — they might make you feel down. The key is to stand up again, learn from what went wrong, and keep moving toward your goal.
In short, challenges are something you can’t avoid, and they’re necessary for growth. By understanding where they come from, designing a strategic plan, and sticking to it without giving up, you can turn difficulties into chances to become better — both in your studies and personal life.
8. Which can be considered an internal source of challenges?
A. A new living environment. B. Difficult Gaokao questions.
C. Uncertainty about the future. D. The development of AI technology.
9. What should we do firstly when learning to use a video editing app according to the passage?
A. Ask friends for encouragement. B. Master its basic uses one by one.
C. Wait to see if it becomes easier. D. Learn new editing skills with practice.
10. What does the underlined word “resilience” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. The ability to get back up. B. The decision to keep going.
C. The gift for solving problems. D. The knowledge of setting goals.
11. What is the writer’s opinion on challenges?
A. They set back one’s growth. B. They are a must for success.
C. They can be managed wisely. D. They come from inner thoughts.
D
Health care has high hopes for artificial intelligence, but new studies warn: simply handing doctors AI tools does not guarantee better care. In fact, the software is already beating physicians at some tasks, while doctors remain unsure how much to trust it. The way forward, researchers argue, is a clear division of labor instead of forcing man and machine to double-check every case together.
Three models are emerging. In the first, the doctor still talks to the patient, takes the history and examines the body. A Harvard-Stanford study shows why this order matters: when AI tried to interview patients directly, its diagnostic accuracy fell from 82% to 63%, a proof that natural conversation and the art of knowing which follow-up question to ask remain human strengths. Once the clinical data have been gathered, the algorithm steps in, using rapid pattern recognition to suggest possible diagnoses.
The second model reverses the sequence(顺序). AI screens the charts first, lists likely diseases and proposes treatments. OpenAI’s latest models scored highly on complex case studies in 2024, displaying an almost talent for linking symptoms to evidence. The physician then reviews the list, adjusts drug doses for kidney failure, chooses the inhaler the patient’s insurance will pay for, or decides a scan is unnecessary — tasks that demand social context and experience.
The most extreme idea is complete separation. Algorithms read normal chest X-rays or low-risk mammograms alone; radiologists step in only when something looks suspicious. A Danish system correctly identified roughly half of all normal chest films, and a Swedish trial of 80,000 women boosted breast-cancer detection by 20% while cutting radiologist workload almost in half. Such setups could relieve the worldwide shortage of imaging specialists and bring rapid screening to rural clinics where no expert sets foot.
Whichever model is chosen, hospitals must decide who carries legal responsibility, regulators must set safety thresholds(门槛) and medical schools must teach future doctors when to trust their own senses. If these questions are answered early, the promise of AI — earlier diagnosis, wider access, lower cost — can be delivered without compromising the human core of medicine.
12. What does the Harvard-Stanford study reveal?
A. Doctors over-rely on AI to gather clinical data.
B. AI is better than doctors at taking medical history.
C. AI’s direct patient interviews lower diagnostic accuracy.
D. AI’s pattern recognition works best in patient interviews.
13. What can we infer about the doctor’s role in the second model?
A. Doctors are being replaced by AI.
B. Doctors mainly collect initial patient data.
C. Doctors double-check every AI suggestion.
D. Doctors concentrate on tasks requiring human judgment.
14. Which best reflects the passage’s structure?
A. Present an opinion → Introduce models → Offer solutions.
B. Argue against AI → Give counter examples → Predict AI’s future.
C. Introduce AI’s potential → Compare human-AI skills → Warn AI’s risks.
D. Explain human-AI conflicts → Analyze AI’s limits → Call for doctor training.
15. What is the suitable title for this passage?
A. AI Tools in Medical Care: Who Wins?
B. AI Tools in Medicine: What Their Risks Are?
C. AI in Hospitals: How to Improve Diagnostic Accuracy?
D. AI in Healthcare: How to Find the Right Cooperation Model?

I always loved spending time with my great-grandmother.
MabelWells, or Memmie to our family, was born in 1909, at a time when the Titanic was being built and World War I was still five years away. Ms. Mabel farmed, raised three kids, and found time to run a cafe. ____16____ But to me, she was just Memmie.

My sister and I were free to dig through Memmie’s basement (地下室). ____18____ I’d open those drawers, and my 10-year-old heart raced with excitement, wondering what treasures I might find.

Memmie was always the oldest person I knew, and my sister and I tried to find out her secret to a long, healthy life. “It must be all the organic (有机的) vegetables she ate when growing up,” my sister said. I didn’t think so. Then, one day, we decided to ask her. ____19____ Without hesitation, she said, “Don’t worry so much.” Huh.
____20____ Always truthful and to the point. Sadly she left us later that year. Growing up, I watched my great-grandmother live with such a deep acceptance of the present. It’s a gift she has passed on, and one I try to remember every day.

B. We sat next to her, waiting to take notes.
C. She always said exactly what she thought.
D. I had expected a bigger answer, but this was Memmie.
E. She had no deep understanding of history of times past.

第二节:读后续写(满分25分)
47 读后续写
When I look back on my childhood, the first image that springs to my mind is the daisy (雏菊) kept in my dictionary, which always reminds me of my lunchtimes with my mother.
When I was in the third grade, I was picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had practised my lines (台词) so hard with me. But no matter how easily I delivered them at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained that she had written a narrator’s (旁白) part to the play, and asked me to switch roles.
I didn’t tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day. But she sensed my pain, and instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard.
It was a lovely spring day and the rose vine (藤蔓) was turning green. Under the huge trees, we could see yellow daisies popping through the grass in bunches, as if a painter had touched our landscape with a little bit of gold. I watched my mother casually bend down by one of the daisies. “I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, suddenly pulling a flower up by its roots. “From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden.”
“But I like daisies,” I protested (抗议). “All flowers are beautiful——even daisies.” My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower has its own beauty, doesn’t it?” she asked thoughtfully. I nodded, feeling pleased that I had won her over. “And that is true of people too,” she added, “Not everyone can be a princess. Hence, there is no shame in that.”
Relieved that she had sensed my pain, I started to cry when I told her what had happened. She listened and smiled.

Recently I had a terrible experience at a Trader Joe’s grocery store. The cashier was remarkably rude to me in a place that is typically known for having great customer service. I came away from the experience first thinking “What did I do to deserve this treatment…”. Then after some thought I came to the realization that this person was more than likely having a bad day and I just happen to be the one they let it out on.
I decided to give the grocery chain another chance so I visited a different location on the other side of town. I was not familiar with the layout and asked an employee for help. They were so kind. I opened up about my past experience at the other location. She reassured me this was my new store and showed me where they kept the coffee. When I got to the register the folks helping me out were so kind, I mentioned the bad experience and how I’ve decided this was my new store. The gentleman helping me stepped away for a second and came back with a small handful of flowers and said “I know this isn’t much, but I wanted to give this to you.” It meant more than that man could ever know.
I am a special-need mom and take my son with autism(自闭症)with me everywhere I go, I also carry around my toddler and with the two sometimes we can be really loud. I get lots of looks, questioning my chaos. This gentleman set all those insecurities aside and showed me in a simple way he cared and I was valued. It made my day. I was able to pass the flowers off to my 4-year old and she fell asleep holding them on our way home. She was so happy about the flowers!
Whenever I see something unkind happen I am reminded that I can always turn the tables and bring kind-ness to someone in need no matter how small the gesture it can have a wonderful ripple (涟漪) effect.

A challenge is a situation that tests your abilities. It needs hard work and courage to get through. Challenges come from many sources, and knowing where they come from is the first step toward dealing with them well.
The sources of challenges are often two-part: external (外部的) and internal. External challenges come from the world around you. For example, moving to a new school, getting used to new study methods, or facing more competition from classmates. Unexpected things, like sudden exams or group project pressure, can also be external challenges. Internal challenges come from yourself. They might be not having enough skills, not knowing some knowledge, or feeling frightened and unsure about yourself — these things can slow down your progress. Often, the hardest challenges mix both external pressure and internal worries.
Successfully managing challenges requires a step-by-step method. First, look at the situation clearly and honestly. If a challenge feels too big, divide it into small, easy-to-do tasks. For example, instead of being unconfident with a big project, focus on completing the first small research. Secondly, actively look for resources (资源) and support. This could be about learning new knowledge through study, improving skills with practice, or depending on the guidance of teachers and the encouragement of friends. Having people to support you gives not only useful tips but also courage and strength. Finally, build resilience. Setbacks (挫折) are a certain part on the path to any meaningful goal — they might make you feel down. The key is to stand up again, learn from what went wrong, and keep moving toward your goal.
In short, challenges are something you can’t avoid, and they’re necessary for growth. By understanding where they come from, designing a strategic plan, and sticking to it without giving up, you can turn difficulties into chances to become better — both in your studies and personal life.
8. Which can be considered an internal source of challenges?
A. A new living environment. B. Difficult Gaokao questions.
C. Uncertainty about the future. D. The development of AI technology.
9. What should we do firstly when learning to use a video editing app according to the passage?
A. Ask friends for encouragement. B. Master its basic uses one by one.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了挑战的来源以及如何应对挑战,强调了挑战是不可避免的,并且对于成长是必要的。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Internal challenges come from yourself. They might be not having enough skills, not knowing some knowledge, or feeling frightened and unsure about yourself — these things can slow down your progress.(内部的挑战来自你自己。它们可能是没有足够的技能,不知道一些知识,或者对自己感到害怕和不确定——这些事情会减缓你的进步。)”可知,对未来的不确定性属于对自身的不确定,属于挑战的内部来源。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“If a challenge feels too big, divide it into small, easy-to-do tasks. For example, instead of being unconfident with a big project, focus on completing the first small research.(如果一个挑战感觉太大,把它分成小的、容易完成的任务。例如,与其对一个大项目不自信,不如专注于完成第一个小研究。)”可知,当学习使用视频编辑应用程序时,我们首先应该逐一掌握它的基本用途。故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文“Setbacks are a certain part on the path to any meaningful goal — they might make you feel down. The key is to stand up again, learn from what went wrong, and keep moving toward your goal.(挫折是实现任何有意义目标的必经之路,它可能会让你感到沮丧。关键在于重新振作,从失误中吸取教训,继续朝着目标迈进。)”可知,下文用“遭遇挫折后重新振作、吸取教训继续前行”的描述,解释了resilience的含义。这个单词的核心是“面对挫折快速恢复的能力”,也就是韧性。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In short, challenges are something you can’t avoid, and they’re necessary for growth. By understanding where they come from, designing a strategic plan, and sticking to it without giving up, you can turn difficulties into chances to become better — both in your studies and personal life.(简而言之,挑战是你无法避免的,它们对成长是必要的。通过了解它们来自哪里,设计一个战略计划,并坚持不懈地执行,你可以把困难变成变得更好的机会——无论是在学习上还是在个人生活中。)”可知,作者认为挑战可以被明智地管理。故选C。
D
Health care has high hopes for artificial intelligence, but new studies warn: simply handing doctors AI tools does not guarantee better care. In fact, the software is already beating physicians at some tasks, while doctors remain unsure how much to trust it. The way forward, researchers argue, is a clear division of labor instead of forcing man and machine to double-check every case together.
Three models are emerging. In the first, the doctor still talks to the patient, takes the history and examines the body. A Harvard-Stanford study shows why this order matters: when AI tried to interview patients directly, its diagnostic accuracy fell from 82% to 63%, a proof that natural conversation and the art of knowing which follow-up question to ask remain human strengths. Once the clinical data have been gathered, the algorithm steps in, using rapid pattern recognition to suggest possible diagnoses.
The second model reverses the sequence(顺序). AI screens the charts first, lists likely diseases and proposes treatments. OpenAI’s latest models scored highly on complex case studies in 2024, displaying an almost talent for linking symptoms to evidence. The physician then reviews the list, adjusts drug doses for kidney failure, chooses the inhaler the patient’s insurance will pay for, or decides a scan is unnecessary — tasks that demand social context and experience.
The most extreme idea is complete separation. Algorithms read normal chest X-rays or low-risk mammograms alone; radiologists step in only when something looks suspicious. A Danish system correctly identified roughly half of all normal chest films, and a Swedish trial of 80,000 women boosted breast-cancer detection by 20% while cutting radiologist workload almost in half. Such setups could relieve the worldwide shortage of imaging specialists and bring rapid screening to rural clinics where no expert sets foot.
Whichever model is chosen, hospitals must decide who carries legal responsibility, regulators must set safety thresholds(门槛) and medical schools must teach future doctors when to trust their own senses. If these questions are answered early, the promise of AI — earlier diagnosis, wider access, lower cost — can be delivered without compromising the human core of medicine.
12. What does the Harvard-Stanford study reveal?
A. Doctors over-rely on AI to gather clinical data.
B. AI is better than doctors at taking medical history.
C. AI’s direct patient interviews lower diagnostic accuracy.
D. AI’s pattern recognition works best in patient interviews.
13. What can we infer about the doctor’s role in the second model?
A. Doctors are being replaced by AI.
B. Doctors mainly collect initial patient data.
C. Doctors double-check every AI suggestion.
D. Doctors concentrate on tasks requiring human judgment.
14. Which best reflects the passage’s structure?
A. Present an opinion → Introduce models → Offer solutions.
B. Argue against AI → Give counter examples → Predict AI’s future.
C. Introduce AI’s potential → Compare human-AI skills → Warn AI’s risks.
D. Explain human-AI conflicts → Analyze AI’s limits → Call for doctor training.
15. What is the suitable title for this passage?
A. AI Tools in Medical Care: Who Wins?
B. AI Tools in Medicine: What Their Risks Are?
C. AI in Hospitals: How to Improve Diagnostic Accuracy?
D. AI in Healthcare: How to Find the Right Cooperation Model?
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了医疗领域对人工智能寄予厚望,但仅提供 AI 工具未必改善医疗,需明确人机分工。文章介绍三种协作模式,并提出需明确法律责任等,以实现 AI 医疗价值。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“A Harvard-Stanford study shows why this order matters: when AI tried to interview patients directly, its diagnostic accuracy fell from 82% to 63%, a proof that natural conversation and the art of knowing which follow-up question to ask remain human strengths.( 哈佛大学和斯坦福大学的一项研究揭示了为什么这个顺序很重要:当人工智能试图直接采访患者时,它的诊断准确率从82%下降到63%,这证明自然的对话和知道问哪个后续问题的艺术仍然是人类的优势。)”可知,哈佛-斯坦福的研究揭示了人工智能直接与患者面谈降低了诊断准确性。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The second model reverses the sequence(顺序). AI screens the charts first, lists likely diseases and proposes treatments. OpenAI’s latest models scored highly on complex case studies in 2024, displaying an almost talent for linking symptoms to evidence. The physician then reviews the list, adjusts drug doses for kidney failure, chooses the inhaler the patient’s insurance will pay for, or decides a scan is unnecessary — tasks that demand social context and experience.( 第二个模型颠倒了顺序。人工智能首先筛选图表,列出可能的疾病,并提出治疗方案。OpenAI的最新模型在2024年的复杂案例研究中得分很高,显示出将症状与证据联系起来的近乎天赋。然后医生审查清单,调整治疗肾衰竭的药物剂量,选择由患者保险支付的吸入器,或者决定扫描是不必要的——这些任务需要社会背景和经验。)”可推知,第二种模式中,AI 先筛选病历、列出可能疾病并提出治疗建议,医生随后负责调整药物剂量、选择医保覆盖的吸入器、判断是否需要扫描等任务。这些任务均需结合社会背景和临床经验,属于人类判断的范畴。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章开篇提出核心观点 —— 医疗 AI 需明确分工而非共同复核;接着介绍三种人机协作模式(医生先采集数据、AI 先筛选病历、完全分工);最后提出解决方案 —— 医院明确法律责任、监管机构设定安全门槛、医学院培养医生的判断能力。由此可推知,提出观点→介绍模型→提供解决方案最能反映文章的结构。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Health care has high hopes for artificial intelligence, but new studies warn: simply handing doctors AI tools does not guarantee better care. In fact, the software is already beating physicians at some tasks, while doctors remain unsure how much to trust it. The way forward, researchers argue, is a clear division of labor instead of forcing man and machine to double-check every case together.( 医疗保健对人工智能寄予厚望,但新的研究警告说:简单地向医生提供人工智能工具并不能保证更好的护理。事实上,该软件在某些任务上已经击败了医生,而医生们仍不确定该在多大程度上信任它。研究人员认为,未来的发展方向是明确分工,而不是强迫人类和机器一起仔细检查每个案例。)”可知,文章核心围绕医疗 AI 的合理应用展开,先指出单纯提供 AI 工具不够,需明确分工,再介绍三种协作模式,最后提出保障协作的措施,核心是“寻找合适的人机协作模式”。由此可知,这篇文章合适的标题是“医疗领域的人工智能:如何找到合适的合作模式?”。故选D项。

I always loved spending time with my great-grandmother.
MabelWells, or Memmie to our family, was born in 1909, at a time when the Titanic was being built and World War I was still five years away. Ms. Mabel farmed, raised three kids, and found time to run a cafe. ____16____ But to me, she was just Memmie.
When I was little, I knew that Memmie was old. It wasn’t her aging hands that gave her away; it was her confidence and straight-talk. ____17____ Sometimes I felt a bit afraid, yet I still knew she loved me. My sister and I were free to dig through Memmie’s basement (地下室). ____18____ I’d open those drawers, and my 10-year-old heart raced with excitement, wondering what treasures I might find. We read Reader’s Digest, and as I tried on dresses with white dress gloves that smelled like mothballs (樟脑丸), I was connected to a different time.
Memmie was always the oldest person I knew, and my sister and I tried to find out her secret to a long, healthy life. “It must be all the organic (有机的) vegetables she ate when growing up,” my sister said. I didn’t think so. Then, one day, we decided to ask her. ____19____ Without hesitation, she said, “Don’t worry so much.” Huh.
____20____ Always truthful and to the point. Sadly she left us later that year. Growing up, I watched my great-grandmother live with such a deep acceptance of the present. It’s a gift she has passed on, and one I try to remember every day.
A. Everyone in her tiny town admired her.
B. We sat next to her, waiting to take notes.
C. She always said exactly what she thought.
D. I had expected a bigger answer, but this was Memmie.
E. She had no deep understanding of history of times past.
F. This freedom to nose around was like her way of saying “I love you”.
G. I remember wondering what her life looked like when she was a teenager.
【答案】16. A 17. C 18. F 19. B 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者回忆了与直言不讳、心怀豁达的曾祖母Memmie的相处点滴,抒发对她的怀念与敬爱,传递了她所传承的“接纳当下、少忧从容”的人生智慧。
【16题详解】
上文“Ms. Mabel farmed, raised three kids, and found time to run a cafe.(Mabel女士既从事农业工作,又养育了三个孩子,同时还抽空经营着一家咖啡馆)”描述曾祖母的人生经历(务农、养三个孩子、开咖啡馆),体现她的能干;结合下文“But to me, she was just Memmie.(但对我来说,她不过就是Memmie而已)”推知,此空阐述他人对她的评价,A选项“Everyone in her tiny town admired her.(小镇所有人都敬佩她)”既呼应了她的人生成就,又通过“他人视角”衬托出她的人格魅力,逻辑过渡自然。故选A。
【17题详解】
上文“When I was little, I knew that Memmie was old. It wasn’t her aging hands that gave her away; it was her confidence and straight-talk.(小时候,我就知道Memmie年纪很大了。暴露她年纪的不是那双布满岁月痕迹的手,而是她那份自信与直言不讳的性情)”提到曾祖母的性格特点是自信、直言不讳;下文“Sometimes I felt a bit afraid, yet I still knew she loved me.(有时候我会有点害怕,但我依然知道她是爱我的)”作者提到有时会有点害怕Memmie;C选项“She always said exactly what she thought.(她向来直言不讳,心里怎么想就怎么说)”承接上文的性格描述,是对“straight-talk”的具体阐释,同时又为后文“我感到害怕”提供合理原因,逻辑连贯。故选C。
【18题详解】
上文“My sister and I were free to dig through Memmie’s basement (地下室).(我和姐姐可以自由翻看曾祖母的地下室)”以及下文“I’d open those drawers, and my 10-year-old heart raced with excitement, wondering what treasures I might find.(我打开抽屉,10岁的我兴奋得心跳加速,想知道我能找到什么宝藏)”描述了作者可以自由翻曾祖母地下室以及翻找东西过程中的兴奋;F选项“This freedom to nose around was like her way of saying “I love you”.(这份允许我们四处探寻的自由,就如同她在诉说“我爱你”)”阐述了曾祖母所给予翻找东西的自由对作者的意义,既解释了曾祖母允许孩子翻找私人物品的初衷(表达爱),又呼应后文“我感受到的兴奋与亲近”,情感衔接紧密;选项中“This freedom”指代上文“were free to dig through Memmie’s basement”。故选F。
【19题详解】
上文“Memmie was always the oldest person I knew, and my sister and I tried to find out her secret to a long, healthy life. “It must be all the organic (有机的) vegetables she ate when growing up,” my sister said. I didn’t think so. Then, one day, we decided to ask her.(Memmie一直是我认识的年纪最大的人,我和姐姐总想弄明白她长寿健康的秘诀。“肯定是她小时候吃的那些有机蔬菜,”姐姐说。我却不这么认为。后来有一天,我们决定直接问她。我们坐在她身边,还特意等着记笔记。)”以及下文“Without hesitation, she said, “Don’t worry so much.” (她毫不犹豫地说:“别想那么多烦心事。”)”可知,作者姐妹对曾祖母长寿的秘诀非常感兴趣,空处应描述问问题时的场景;B选项“We sat next to her, waiting to take notes.(我们坐在她身边,等着记笔记)”符合“探寻秘密”的认真态度,体现出对答案的期待,为后文令人意外的简短回答做铺垫,符合语境。故选B。
【20题详解】
前文“Without hesitation, she said, “Don’t worry so much.” (她毫不犹豫地说:“别想那么多烦心事。”)”是曾祖母对长寿秘诀的简短回答,下文“Always truthful and to the point.(总是实话实说,切中要害)”作者评价她“总是坦诚且直言不讳”,此空需衔接作者对曾祖母所给答案的反应;D选项“I had expected a bigger answer, but this was Memmie.(我本期待一个更复杂的答案,但这就是Memmie)”既表达了“意外感”(与上文中的“Huh”呼应),又通过“but this was Memmie”引出后文对她性格的总结,逻辑闭环。故选D。

【答案】Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m glad to hear that our psychology club is preparing a new lecture. After careful consideration, I strongly recommend Stress Management Techniques as the theme.
As students, we are often faced with heavy study pressure, exams and interpersonal relationships, which easily lead to anxiety. A lecture on stress management can teach us practical methods to adjust our mood, help us maintain a healthy mental state and improve learning efficiency. Compared with healthy eating habits, this theme is more closely related to our current psychological needs.
I hope my suggestion will be taken into account.
Yours,
Lihua

47. 读后续写
When I look back on my childhood, the first image that springs to my mind is the daisy (雏菊) kept in my dictionary, which always reminds me of my lunchtimes with my mother.
When I was in the third grade, I was picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had practised my lines (台词) so hard with me. But no matter how easily I delivered them at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained that she had written a narrator’s (旁白) part to the play, and asked me to switch roles.
I didn’t tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day. But she sensed my pain, and instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard.
It was a lovely spring day and the rose vine (藤蔓) was turning green. Under the huge trees we could see yellow daisies popping through the grass in bunches, as if a painter had touched our landscape with a little bit of gold. I watched my mother casually bend down by one of the daisies. “I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, suddenly pulling a flower up by its roots. “From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden.”
“But I like daisies,” I protested (抗议). “All flowers are beautiful——even daisies.” My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower has its own beauty, doesn’t it?” she asked thoughtfully. I nodded, feeling pleased that I had won her over. “And that is true of people too,” she added, “Not everyone can be a princess. Hence, there is no shame in that.”
Relieved that she had sensed my pain, I started to cry when I told her what had happened. She listened and smiled.

“You will be a beautiful narrator,” she comforted.

Paragraph 2:
Backstage on the night of the performance, I still felt nervous.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
“You will be a beautiful narrator,” she comforted. Upon hearing her comforting words, I held back my bitter tears, lost in deep thought. Hardly had she noticed the sadness on my face soften a little when she caressed my hair, adding, “No one is born to be a princess. Why not take advantage of narrator’s part?” With mother’s encouragement, I began to accept that the narrator’s part was of vital significance. In the following weeks, every lunchtime with my mother witnessed my mighty effort to practice my part of lines. So fast did time pass that the performance day arrived.
Paragraph 2:
Backstage on the night of the performance, I still felt nervous. Sweat oozing from my palms, it was at that very moment that I found a daisy in my pocket. In a flash, I realized my mother had passed the flower to me, which meant to be in company with me. Consumed with courage and confidence, I concentrated on my part and the performance turned out to be a great success, the audience standing up and bursting into thunderous applause. After the play, I put the daisy into my dictionary, which was a reminder of our precious lunchtimes, bathed in the soft midday light.
