A
The upcoming winter season offers a selection of the finest, quickest, toughest and most delightful running events across the UK for those seeking adventure or community spirit.
● Bah Humbug 10K, 1 December
Do yourself a favour and bring towels and plastic bags with you, because every bit of gear you wear during this event is likely to be caked with mud by the end. Therefore, the organisers have done well to ensure there are changing rooms and showers available for all runners.
racebest. com
● Winter Solstice Strider, 8 December
Dig that head flashlight out of the messy drawer for this after-dark run or walk for a good cause. You have a 5K route, which winds through the forest at the St Ives Estate. The route is far from flat and will almost certainly be muddy in places, so make sure your batteries are well charged in case there are emergencies.

● The Christmas Charity Run, 21 December
This event is run by a most environmentally conscious organiser in the country, and is therefore only open to local runners to reduce car travel. Another great feature is that £7. 50 of the £10 entry fee goes straight to a local charity that supports people with cancer, making this one of the most positive-impact events that you could possibly find.

● Mapledurham 10& Half, 29 December
Mapledurham events are always well organised and, with unpleasant weather likely, you'll have to deal with some mud on the various uphills and downhills on whichever of the 10K, 10-mile or half-marathon courses you choose. The organisers have prioritised finding a good route over precise measurements, so all three races have a rather loose relationship with their stated distance.

C. eventrac. co. uk D. mstevents. co. uk

We all dream of adventure—of stepping into the unknown, far from the familiar, and losing ourselves in new experiences. But what happens when we get truly lost? For me, it happened in Lisbon.
It was my first solo trip abroad. Determined to drown myself fully, I left my map and phone behind, wandering Lisbon’s hills and beautiful lakes with nothing but curiosity. The pastel buildings, the sound of Fado music drifting from cafés, the scent of flowers—it was excellent. For hours, I drowned myself in the freedom of having no plan.
But as the sun set, I realized I didn’t recognize anything. The streets that had seemed charming now felt identical and strange. My heart raced as I traced my steps, only to find more unfamiliar corners. No phone, no Portuguese beyond basic phrases, no memory of my hostel’s neighbourhood—just me and the growing shadows.
What if I couldn’t find my way back? What if I spent the night wandering, weak and alone? Panic tightened my chest. But then, a quieter thought emerged: Was I really lost, or just uncomfortable?
I stopped fighting it. Instead of searching for directions, I paid attention to the paint on a wall, the shopkeeper sweeping his doorstep, the laughter spilling from a tiny restaurant. With no digital backup, I noticed everything. And slowly, the fear faded.
In a small square, I joined locals sharing wine and bread. We couldn’t speak the same language, but we connected through gestures and smiles.
Minutes later I was working on a borrowed map from a kind shopkeeper in vain (徒劳). When I passed a bakery with the smell of fresh bread—a reminder of my hostel’s neighbourhood, a little girl noticed my confusion. She pointed down a narrow alley (小巷), and said one word,“Praça.” Eventually, I came across a familiar street and made it back to my hostel.
We spend so much of life avoiding the feeling of being lost. But sometimes, it’s the only way to discover what we’re capable of. Lisbon taught me that the unknown isn’t something to fear—it’s where we often find ourselves.
24. Why did the author intentionally leave behind the map and phone?
A. To find hidden attractions. B. To fully enjoy the trip.
C. To avoid interruption of other people. D. To really experience the local dishes.
25. How did the author feel at first after realizing he was lost?
A. Anxious. B. Regretful. C. Curious. D. Doubtful.
26. What finally led the author to rediscover the familiar street?
A. A child’s simple instructions. B. The smell of a local bakery.
C. A shopkeeper’s clear map. D. Repeatedly tracing footprints.
27. What does the author want to express about facing the unknown?
A. It often leads to situations that should be avoided.
B. It calls for the use of modern technology.
C. It can help people discover their hidden abilities.
D. It prevents meaningful connections with locals.
C
The virtue of intellectual humility(谦逊)is getting much attention. While researchers define it differently, the core of the idea is “recognizing that one’s beliefs and opinions might be incorrect.”
But achieving intellectual humility is hard. Overconfidence is a long-lasting problem, faced by many, and does not appear to be improved by education or expertise. Even scientific pioneers can sometimes lack this valuable quality.
A. A. Michelson, the first American to win a Nobel Prize in science, expressed a striking view about the fundamental laws of physics, “It seems probable that most of the grand basic principles have now been firmly established.” Over the next few decades, fundamental physical theory witnessed its most dramatic changes.
Scientists can be mistaken about the accuracy of their own positions. Even so, there is reason to believe such mistakes will go public. But sometimes it takes a long time. Is there a way to encourage the pursuit of new, possibly unpopular scientific ideas, while acknowledging the great value and power of the scientific enterprise as it now stands?
Here is where intellectual humility can play a positive role in science. Intellectual humility is not skepticism. It does not imply doubt. An intellectually humble person may have strong commitments to various beliefs and may pursue those commitments with enthusiasm. Their intellectual humility lies in their openness to the possibility that nobody is in possession of the full truth, and that others, too, may have insights, ideas and evidence that should be taken into account when forming their own best judgments.
This openness to inquiry does not, of course, imply that scientists are bound to accept theories they take to be wrong. What we ought to accept is that we too might be wrong, that something good might come of the pursuit of those other ideas and theories, and that tolerating rather than accusing those who pursue such things just might be the best way forward for science and for society.
28. What is the core idea of intellectual humility?
A. Questioning everything. B. Avoiding firm beliefs.
C. Agreeing with all others. D. Accepting one’s possible errors.
29. What does Michelson’s example suggest about scientists?
A. They keep trying different ideas. B. They misjudge their own knowledge.
C. They often question the existing ideas. D. They dislike predicting what will happen.
30. What makes intellectual humility positive in science?
A. It rejects unpopular research. B. It tends to avoid firm commitments.
C. It leads to openness to others’ insights. D. It encourages doubts about all old ideas.
31. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To warn against ignoring new theories.
B. To define the concept of intellectual humility.
C. To explain why people lack intellectual humility.
D. To discuss whether intellectual humility benefits science.
D
Scientists have discovered life in a place they once thought impossible. In a new study, a research team explored how tiny living things, or microbes, manage to survive in one of the planet’s harshest underwater environments. The site has a very high pH level, making it one of the most unfriendly places for life ever recorded. Because so few living cells exist there, it is often impossible to find signs of life like DNA.
To overcome this challenge, researchers used a different approach. They analyzed special fat molecules, known as chemical traces, which reveal biological activity. By studying these molecules found in sediment samples, scientists were able to understand how microbes survive in such extreme conditions. These fat molecules act as hidden clues to life, showing the survival strategies of organisms that feed on substances like methane. This method is sensitive enough to detect even the faintest signals from life.
These deep-sea microbial communities play an important role in the Earth’s carbon cycle. They get their energy not from sunlight, but from minerals in rocks and gases like carbon dioxide. This process produces methane, a key greenhouse gas. This shows that these microbes operate in a self-contained ecosystem, independent of the ocean above. Their existence proves that complex life processes can occur in complete isolation from the sun’s energy.
The discovery is highly significant. It proves that life can exist under extreme conditions, such as high pH and low levels of organic material. Furthermore, these fat molecules can help scientists tell the difference between modern, living cells and the remains of ancient life. This provides valuable insights into how life persists in places with very few nutrients. Some scientists even believe that similar environments could have been the birthplace of the earliest forms of life on Earth.
The samples were collected from previously unknown underwater mud volcanoes during a deep-sea research trip. Inspired by these findings, the team now plans to grow these microbes in controlled lab environments. Their goal is to learn more about how these organisms get nutrients and survive in such harsh conditions, further pushing the boundaries of our understanding of life itself.
32. What did researchers use instead of DNA to find the microbes?
A. Remains of ancient life. B. Gases from the rocks.
C. Sunlight from the surface. D. Special fat molecules.
33. What is the energy source for the deep-sea microbial communities?
A. Sunlight and the ocean surface. B. Other living creatures in the sea.
C Minerals from rocks and gases. D. Methane and the carbon cycle.
34. What does the phrase “a self-contained ecosystem” in Paragraph 3 imply?
A. It operates independently of the ocean above.
B. It produces its own oxygen.
C. It is the only system of its kind on Earth.
D. It does not require any energy source.
35. What can be inferred from the discovery about the limits of life?
A. Life can only exist in environments with neutral pH.
B. Life is more adaptable than previously believed.
C. The deep sea is the only place for extreme life.
D. All microbes are capable of producing methane.

67. 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。
Kay was a 16-year-old high school student. Every morning, he rode his old bicycle to school. His family was financially disadvantaged—his parents worked as cleaners and barely made enough money to pay the bills. So Kay always tried to be careful with his things, afraid of causing any extra trouble.
One Tuesday morning, the sky was gray and it looked like it would rain. Kay hurried on his bicycle, worried about being late for class. As he turned a corner near the community park, a big bus suddenly appeared from the opposite direction. It was coming so fast that Kay didn’t have time to think. To avoid crashing into the bus, he quickly turned his bicycle to the right. But before he could stop, his bike hit a small black car parked by the roadside with a loud “bang”.
Kay fell off his bike and scraped (擦伤) his knee. He stood up in a panic and checked the car. Oh, no! The car’s left headlight was completely broken, and there was a long scratch (刮痕) on the door. Kay’s heart started beating fast. He looked around—there was no one on the street, and he didn’t see any security cameras nearby. “I could just leave,” he thought. “No one will know it was me.”
But then he thought about the car’s owner. The owner must have spent a lot of money on this car. If he left, the owner would have to pay for the repair all by himself. Kay looked into his schoolbag. He found a piece of sticky note and a pen. He wrote: “Dear car owner, I’m Kay, a student. I hit your car by accident this morning. I’m sorry. Please call 555–7890 so we can talk about the repair.” He stuck the note on the car’s windshield (风挡) and then rode to school, feeling a little nervous but also calm.
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。
At night, Tina, the car owner, noticed the broken headlight first.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Contrary to what Kay might assume, Tina didn’t get angry.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The upcoming winter season offers a selection of the finest, quickest, toughest and most delightful running events across the UK for those seeking adventure or community spirit.
● Bah Humbug 10K, 1 December
Do yourself a favour and bring towels and plastic bags with you, because every bit of gear you wear during this event is likely to be caked with mud by the end. Therefore, the organisers have done well to ensure there are changing rooms and showers available for all runners.
racebest. com
● Winter Solstice Strider, 8 December
Dig that head flashlight out of the messy drawer for this after-dark run or walk for a good cause. You have a 5K route, which winds through the forest at the St Ives Estate. The route is far from flat and will almost certainly be muddy in places, so make sure your batteries are well charged in case there are emergencies.
sueryder. org
● The Christmas Charity Run, 21 December
This event is run by a most environmentally conscious organiser in the country, and is therefore only open to local runners to reduce car travel. Another great feature is that £7. 50 of the £10 entry fee goes straight to a local charity that supports people with cancer, making this one of the most positive-impact events that you could possibly find.
eventrac. co. uk
● Mapledurham 10& Half, 29 December
Mapledurham events are always well organised and, with unpleasant weather likely, you'll have to deal with some mud on the various uphills and downhills on whichever of the 10K, 10-mile or half-marathon courses you choose. The organisers have prioritised finding a good route over precise measurements, so all three races have a rather loose relationship with their stated distance.
mstevents. co. uk
21. Which website offers information for night run participants?
A. sueryder. org B. racebest. com
C. eventrac. co. uk D. mstevents. co. uk
22. What makes the Mapledurham events unique?
A. Eco-friendly goals. B. Flexible race distances.
C Strong charity focus. D. Muddy running courses.

B
We all dream of adventure—of stepping into the unknown far from the familiar, and losing ourselves in new experiences. But what happens when we get truly lost? For me, it happened in Lisbon.
It was my first solo trip abroad. Determined to drown myself fully, I left my map and phone behind, wandering Lisbon’s hills and beautiful lakes with nothing but curiosity. The pastel buildings, the sound of Fado music drifting from cafés, the scent of flowers—it was excellent. For hours, I drowned myself in the freedom of having no plan.
But as the sun set, I realized I didn’t recognize anything. The streets that had seemed charming now felt identical and strange. My heart raced as I traced my steps, only to find more unfamiliar corners. No phone, no Portuguese beyond basic phrases, no memory of my hostel’s neighbourhood—just me and the growing shadows.
What if I couldn’t find my way back? What if I spent the night wandering, weak and alone? Panic tightened my chest. But then, a quieter thought emerged: Was I really lost, or just uncomfortable?
I stopped fighting it. Instead of searching for directions, I paid attention to the paint on a wall, the shopkeeper sweeping his doorstep, the laughter spilling from a tiny restaurant. With no digital backup, I noticed everything. And slowly, the fear faded.
In a small square, I joined locals sharing wine and bread. We couldn’t speak the same language, but we connected through gestures and smiles.
Minutes later I was working on a borrowed map from a kind shopkeeper in vain (徒劳). When I passed a bakery with the smell of fresh bread—a reminder of my hostel’s neighbourhood, a little girl noticed my confusion. She pointed down a narrow alley (小巷), and said one word,“Praça.” Eventually, I came across a familiar street and made it back to my hostel.
We spend so much of life avoiding the feeling of being lost. But sometimes, it’s the only way to discover what we’re capable of. Lisbon taught me that the unknown isn’t something to fear—it’s where we often find ourselves.
24. Why did the author intentionally leave behind the map and phone?
A. To find hidden attractions. B. To fully enjoy the trip.
C. To avoid interruption of other people. D. To really experience the local dishes.
25. How did the author feel at first after realizing he was lost?
A. Anxious. B. Regretful. C. Curious. D. Doubtful.
26. What finally led the author to rediscover the familiar street?
A. A child’s simple instructions. B. The smell of a local bakery.
C. A shopkeeper’s clear map. D. Repeatedly tracing footprints.
27. What does the author want to express about facing the unknown?
A. It often leads to situations that should be avoided.
B. It calls for the use of modern technology.
C. It can help people discover their hidden abilities.
D. It prevents meaningful connections with locals.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. A 27. C

C
The virtue of intellectual humility(谦逊)is getting much attention. While researchers define it differently, the core of the idea is “recognizing that one’s beliefs and opinions might be incorrect.”
But achieving intellectual humility is hard. Overconfidence is a long-lasting problem, faced by many, and does not appear to be improved by education or expertise. Even scientific pioneers can sometimes lack this valuable quality.
A. A. Michelson, the first American to win a Nobel Prize in science, expressed a striking view about the fundamental laws of physics, “It seems probable that most of the grand basic principles have now been firmly established.” Over the next few decades, fundamental physical theory witnessed its most dramatic changes.
Scientists can be mistaken about the accuracy of their own positions. Even so, there is reason to believe such mistakes will go public. But sometimes it takes a long time. Is there a way to encourage the pursuit of new, possibly unpopular scientific ideas, while acknowledging the great value and power of the scientific enterprise as it now stands?
Here is where intellectual humility can play a positive role in science. Intellectual humility is not skepticism. It does not imply doubt. An intellectually humble person may have strong commitments to various beliefs and may pursue those commitments with enthusiasm. Their intellectual humility lies in their openness to the possibility that nobody is in possession of the full truth, and that others, too, may have insights, ideas and evidence that should be taken into account when forming their own best judgments.
This openness to inquiry does not, of course, imply that scientists are bound to accept theories they take to be wrong. What we ought to accept is that we too might be wrong, that something good might come of the pursuit of those other ideas and theories, and that tolerating rather than accusing those who pursue such things just might be the best way forward for science and for society.
28. What is the core idea of intellectual humility?
A. Questioning everything. B. Avoiding firm beliefs.
C. Agreeing with all others. D. Accepting one’s possible errors.
29. What does Michelson’s example suggest about scientists?
A. They keep trying different ideas. B. They misjudge their own knowledge.
C. They often question the existing ideas. D. They dislike predicting what will happen.
30. What makes intellectual humility positive in science?
A. It rejects unpopular research. B. It tends to avoid firm commitments.
C. It leads to openness to others’ insights. D. It encourages doubts about all old ideas.
31. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To warn against ignoring new theories.
B. To define the concept of intellectual humility.
C. To explain why people lack intellectual humility.
D. To discuss whether intellectual humility benefits science.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了“智识谦逊”这一品质,指出其核心是认识到自己可能犯错,实现它很难,它能让科学家接纳他人见解,对科学发展有益。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“While researchers define it differently, the core of the idea is ‘recognizing that one’s beliefs and opinions might be incorrect.’ (虽然研究人员对它的定义不同,但这一想法的核心是‘认识到自己的信仰和观点可能是错误的。’)”可知,“智识谦逊”的核心思想是接受自己可能的错误。故选D项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“A. A. Michelson, the first American to win a Nobel Prize in science, expressed a striking view about the fundamental laws of physics, ‘It seems probable that most of the grand basic principles have now been firmly established.’ Over the next few decades, fundamental physical theory witnessed its most dramatic changes. (第一位获得诺贝尔科学奖的美国人A. A. Michelson对物理学基本定律发表了惊人的观点:“似乎大多数宏伟的基本原理现在都已经牢固确立了。”在接下来的几十年里,基本物理理论经历了最戏剧性的变化。)”可知,Michelson认为物理学的基本原理已经牢固确立,但随后几十年基本物理理论发生了巨大变化,这说明科学家们可能会误判自己的知识。故选B项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Their intellectual humility lies in their openness to the possibility that nobody is in possession of the full truth, and that others, too, may have insights, ideas and evidence that should be taken into account when forming their own best judgments. (他们的智识谦逊在于他们对以下可能性的开放态度:没有人掌握全部真理,其他人在形成自己的最佳判断时,也可能有应该考虑的见解、想法和证据。)”可知,智识谦逊在科学中的积极作用在于它导致对他人见解的开放态度。故选C项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“The virtue of intellectual humility (谦逊) is getting much attention. While researchers define it differently, the core of the idea is “recognizing that one’s beliefs and opinions might be incorrect.”(‘智识谦逊’这一品质正受到越来越多的关注。尽管研究人员对此的定义各不相同,但其核心思想是‘认识到自己的信念和观点可能并不正确’。)”以及通读全文可知,文章首先介绍了智识谦逊的核心思想,然后指出实现智识谦逊很难,科学家也可能误判自己的知识,接着提出智识谦逊在科学中可以发挥积极作用,最后阐述了这种开放探究的态度对科学和社会的意义。整篇文章主要是在讨论智识谦逊是否对科学有益。D选项“To discuss whether intellectual humility benefits science.(探讨智识谦逊是否对科学有益。)”符合题意。故选D项。
D
Scientists have discovered life in a place they once thought impossible. In a new study, a research team explored how tiny living things, or microbes, manage to survive in one of the planet’s harshest underwater environments. The site has a very high pH level, making it one of the most unfriendly places for life ever recorded. Because so few living cells exist there, it is often impossible to find signs of life like DNA.
To overcome this challenge, researchers used a different approach. They analyzed special fat molecules, known as chemical traces, which reveal biological activity. By studying these molecules found in sediment samples, scientists were able to understand how microbes survive in such extreme conditions. These fat molecules act as hidden clues to life, showing the survival strategies of organisms that feed on substances like methane. This method is sensitive enough to detect even the faintest signals from life.
These deep-sea microbial communities play an important role in the Earth’s carbon cycle. They get their energy not from sunlight, but from minerals in rocks and gases like carbon dioxide. This process produces methane, a key greenhouse gas. This shows that these microbes operate in a self-contained ecosystem, independent of the ocean above. Their existence proves that complex life processes can occur in complete isolation from the sun’s energy.
The discovery is highly significant. It proves that life can exist under extreme conditions, such as high pH and low levels of organic material. Furthermore, these fat molecules can help scientists tell the difference between modern, living cells and the remains of ancient life. This provides valuable insights into how life persists in places with very few nutrients. Some scientists even believe that similar environments could have been the birthplace of the earliest forms of life on Earth.
The samples were collected from previously unknown underwater mud volcanoes during a deep-sea research trip. Inspired by these findings, the team now plans to grow these microbes in controlled lab environments. Their goal is to learn more about how these organisms get nutrients and survive in such harsh conditions, further pushing the boundaries of our understanding of life itself.

【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。科学家在高pH值的恶劣海底环境发现生命,通过分析特殊脂肪分子了解微生物生存策略,其对碳循环重要,该发现证明生命适应性强,团队还将深入研究。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“To overcome this challenge, researchers used a different approach. They analyzed special fat molecules, known as chemical traces, which reveal biological activity. (为了克服这个挑战,研究人员采用了不同的方法。他们分析了特殊的脂肪分子,这些分子被称为化学痕迹,可以揭示生物活动。)”可知,研究人员使用特殊的脂肪分子来代替DNA寻找微生物。故选D项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“These deep-sea microbial communities play an important role in the Earth’s carbon cycle. They get their energy not from sunlight, but from minerals in rocks and gases like carbon dioxide. (这些深海微生物群落在地球碳循环中发挥着重要作用。它们的能量不是来自阳光,而是来自岩石中的矿物质和二氧化碳等气体。)”可知,深海微生物群落的能量来源是岩石中的矿物质和气体。故选C项。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“This process produces methane, a key greenhouse gas. This shows that these microbes operate in a self-contained ecosystem, independent of the ocean above. Their existence proves that complex life processes can occur in complete isolation from the sun’s energy. (这个过程会产生甲烷,一种关键的温室气体。这表明这些微生物在一个……的生态系统中运作,独立于上方的海洋。它们的存在证明,复杂的生命过程可以在完全脱离太阳能量的情况下发生。)”可知,在这个生态系统中,复杂的生命过程可以在完全脱离太阳能量的情况下发生,并不依赖于上层的海洋,由此意味着该系统是不依赖于上层的海洋的自给自足的生态系统。“a self-contained ecosystem”意味着这个生态系统独立于上面的海洋运作。A选项“It operates independently of the ocean above.(它独立于上方的海洋而运行。)”与该短语意思相近。故选A项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The discovery is highly significant. It proves that life can exist under extreme conditions, such as high pH and low levels of organic material. (这一发现意义重大。它证明生命可以在极端条件下存在,比如高pH值和低水平的有机物质。)”以及“Some scientists even believe that similar environments could have been the birthplace of the earliest forms of life on Earth. (一些科学家甚至认为,类似的环境可能是地球上最早生命形式的诞生地。)”可知,该研究发现证明生命可以在极端条件下,即存在生命比我们之前认为的更具适应性。故选B项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了三名中国航天员乘神舟21号飞船安全返回地球。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:三名中国宇航员在他们的飞船被宣布不安全后,乘坐最近发射的神舟二十一号飞船安全返回地球。句中已有谓语动词“have returned”,所以“launch”在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语“Shenzhou-21 spacecraft”构成被动关系,故用过去分词作定语。故填launched。
【57题详解】
考查副词。句意:这三名机组人员原计划于11月5日返回地球,但由于怀疑他们的飞船受到微小太空碎片的撞击,他们的返程被推迟了。修饰动词“scheduled”应用副词“initially”,作状语。故填initially。
【58题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:这三名机组人员原计划于11月5日返回地球,但由于怀疑他们的飞船受到微小太空碎片的撞击,他们的返程被推迟了。主语“journey”与谓语动词“postpone”构成被动关系,且事情发生在过去,所以用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为单数,be动词用was。故填was postponed。
【59题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:他们的返程被推迟了九天,他们在太空停留了204天,这是中国空间站宇航员停留时间最长的一次。根据上文定冠词“the”以及句意“最长的”可知应用形容词最高级longest。故填longest。
【60题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:据中国载人航天局介绍,在等待了九天之后,他们最终乘坐运送新宇航员的神舟二十一号飞船回家了。此处为定语从句修饰先行词“the Shenzhou-21 spacecraft”,先行词在从句中作主语,指物,故用关系代词that或which引导。故填that/which。
【61题详解】
考查介词。句意:中国官方媒体中央电视台报道称:“医疗团队发现宇航员身体状况良好。”表示“身体状况良好”短语为“be in good physical condition”。故填in。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意:人类探索太空的道路并不平坦。作介词“of”的宾语应用名词“exploration”,表示“探索”,不可数。故填exploration。
【63题详解】
考查代词。句意:我们终于安全到家了。此处使用代词作宾语,“make it”意为“成功”,符合题意。故填it。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:受损的神舟二十号飞船返回舱的窗户上“有一条轻微的裂缝”,可能是由碎片撞击造成的,这使得机组人员返回不安全。句中“had”为谓语动词,“make”在句中应用非谓语动词形式,此处为现在分词作结果状语,表示前文的事实造成的结果。故填making。
【65题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:该机构表示:“飞船将留在轨道上进行实验。”experiment为可数名词,此处用复数形式表泛指。故填experiments。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 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。
Kay was a 16-year-old high school student. Every morning, he rode his old bicycle to school. His family was financially disadvantaged—his parents worked as cleaners and barely made enough money to pay the bills. So Kay always tried to be careful with his things, afraid of causing any extra trouble.
One Tuesday morning, the sky was gray and it looked like it would rain. Kay hurried on his bicycle, worried about being late for class. As he turned a corner near the community park, a big bus suddenly appeared from the opposite direction. It was coming so fast that Kay didn’t have time to think. To avoid crashing into the bus, he quickly turned his bicycle to the right. But before he could stop, his bike hit a small black car parked by the roadside with a loud “bang”.
Kay fell off his bike and scraped (擦伤) his knee. He stood up in a panic and checked the car. Oh, no! The car’s left headlight was completely broken, and there was a long scratch (刮痕) on the door. Kay’s heart started beating fast. He looked around—there was no one on the street, and he didn’t see any security cameras nearby. “I could just leave,” he thought. “No one will know it was me.”
But then he thought about the car’s owner. The owner must have spent a lot of money on this car. If he left, the owner would have to pay for the repair all by himself. Kay looked into his schoolbag. He found a piece of sticky note and a pen. He wrote: “Dear car owner, I’m Kay, a student. I hit your car by accident this morning. I’m sorry. Please call 555–7890 so we can talk about the repair.” He stuck the note on the car’s windshield (风挡) and then rode to school, feeling a little nervous but also calm.

Contrary to what Kay might assume, Tina didn’t get angry.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
At night, Tina, the car owner, returned to her car and noticed the broken headlight first. She was shocked and annoyed when she saw the damage. “What on earth happened?” she murmured to herself. Then her eyes caught the sticky note on the windshield. She read it carefully, learning about Kay’s accident in detail. She took out her phone and dialed the number Kay had left without hesitation.
Contrary to what Kay might assume, Tina didn’t get angry at all. When Kay answered the phone, she said gently, “Hello, Kay. I’m Tina, the car owner. I saw your note. Accidents happen, and I really appreciate your honesty. Don’t worry about the money for the repair. I can manage it easily. You just focus on your studies.” Kay was extremely relieved and deeply grateful. He thanked Tina repeatedly. From that day on, Kay learned that honesty was always the best choice, and it could even bring unexpected kindness and understanding.
