第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Climate change could have large impacts on food production across the world. Rising temperatures might boost crop production in cold regions but negatively impact production in warmer areas. Wheat and rice — which benefit from more CO2 in the atmosphere — could see growing output, while corn and sorghum (高粱) could see a decline with warmer temperatures.
Farmers can adjust their practices to a warmer climate in four key ways:
Farmers can change WHAT they plant. This could be an entirely different type of crop: corn instead of wheat. Or a different variety of a specific crop.
FOUR KEY WAYS
Farmers can change WHERE crops are planted. If temperatures rise in fall, crop production can shift north or southwards towards more suitable temperatures.
Farmers can change HOW crops are managed. Giving crops the right amount of water, nutrition, and protection from insects and disease can help reduce some impacts of climate change.
Farmers can change WHEN they plant. Farmers can plant earlier or later in the year, depending on when spring arrives. Adjusting planting dates requires no additional cost or work.
A recent study by experts modeled three adaptation methods — changing WHAT, changing WHEN and changing both of them. The chart below shows their impact on the output of corn, rice, sorghum, soybean (大豆) and wheat.
These three adaptation methods can already go some way to relieve climate pressures in some countries. But, of course, we don’t only care about crop production at the global level. If farmers in particular regions — especially those that are most food-insecure cannot adapt to climate change this is still a major problem. So there is more we can do in the future.
1. What should farmers change if they are short of money and labour?
A. WHAT. B. WHERE. C. HOW. D. WHEN.
2 Which crop may benefit most if farmers plant improved varieties?
A. Rice. B. Corn. C. Sorghum. D. Wheat.
3. What should be done in the future?
A. To adopt the three methods. B. To help the farmers in need.
C. To focus on crop production. D. To move to colder regions.
B
Harold Simmons never intended to become a neighborhood legend (传奇). At 73, he was just a retired worker with too much time and an empty backyard. What started as a simple garden railroad project quickly became something extraordinary.
It began with a single circular track and an old steam engine he’d rescued from a sale. Each day, he would add tiny details — a tiny general store, a little church and some handcrafted trees. The neighborhood children would sometimes look over the fence, their eyes wide with wonder.
One particularly curious 10-year-old named Maya started visiting regularly after school. Her working parents appreciated that Harold didn’t mind her watching him work. He’d explain each tiny detail. Word spread. Neighbors who had previously just waved politely stopped to admire Harold’s growing landscape. Children brought their parents. Retired workers shared stories about the real trains and towns the models represented.
When the local elementary school heard about Harold’s project, they asked if he’d be willing to host a field trip. Harold was surprised. Suddenly, classrooms of children were learning history, engineering, and creativity through his tiny railroad.
Maya convinced her uncle to create a website showing Harold’s railroad. It went popular locally and then regionally. People started sending him miniature (微型的) pieces like a tiny water tower from Wisconsin. Soon the railroad became a living history museum, a classroom, and a gathering place.
On weekends Harold would let children control the trains, their small hands carefully managing the controllers and their faces lit with pure joy. Some parents noticed their kids were learning patience, precision, and storytelling through this simple hobby.
By the time Harold turned 80, his backyard had become a community landmark. Local schools included visits into their curriculum (课程). retirement homes organized group trips. Artists and historians turned to him. The tiny tracks became something magical, showing how passion, creativity, and openness could build connections far bigger than anyone could imagine.
4. Why did Harold start building the garden railroad?
A. To kill his spare time. B. To host field trips.
C. To train local children. D. To become famous.
5. What was the neighbors’ attitude toward Harold’s project?
A. Critical. B. Negative. C. Appreciative. D. Uncertain.
6. Why did Harold’s project attract the local elementary school?
A. It included a new steam engine. B. It had an educative value.
C. It was praised on a website. D. It was a garden programme.
7. What lesson can we learn from the story?
A. One is never too old to learn.
B. Many hands make light work.
C. Education knows no boundaries.
D. Small things make a big difference.
C
Seed libraries emerged as a revolutionary concept nearly a generation ago. The earliest example is BASIL, the Bay Area Seed Interchange Library. In 2000, University of CaliforniaBerkeley closed its campus farm to make room for research into genetically modified corn.This left the farm's collection of seeds homeless. Activists persuaded the Berkeley EcologyCenter to sponsor a lending library that would make the seeds available to local gardeners, who in turn would harvest and return seeds from the crops they grew to make possible the next year’s distribution.
From there, the seed library concept took off, spreading throughout all 50 states. Not only do seed libraries offer customers a free start in gardening, they can also make available seeds adapted to local growing conditions. Garden retailers (零售商) tend to stock nationally distributed lines of best-selling seeds that are chosen for their ability to grow over a broad area. A seed library, which isn’t driven by the need for profit, can focus on what performs best in the local soils and climate.
Besides distributing seeds, seed libraries also encourage seed saving among their customers, so that the loans can be repaid at the end of the growing season. This is why the vegetable, fruit and flower varieties that seed libraries distribute are typically open pollinated(授粉). That is, when pollinated naturally by insects, birds, or wind, the plants bear seeds that produce a new generation closely resembling the parents. Hybrids, the mainstay of conventional seed producers, do not “come true” in this fashion, and so they’re avoided by most seed libraries.
This has a couple of significant impacts. First, seed libraries tend to emphasize old-fashioned, heirloom (原种) plant varieties that originated before the modern emphasis on hybrid fruits and vegetables. In this way, seed libraries play a significant part in helping to keep such heirlooms available to gardeners. Then, because gardeners typically save seed from the stronger and more fruitful samples, they tend to preserve and reproduce the best adapted individuals. This practice encourages the gradual evolution of an ever-more locally adapted species. In this way, seed libraries are becoming ever more relevant to the needs of gardeners.
8. What distinguishes seed libraries from garden retailers?
A. They focus on locally adapted seeds. B. They offer seeds at a lower price.
C. They prioritize profit over sustainability. D. They distribute best-selling seeds.
9. What is stressed about open-pollinated plants in paragraph 3?
A. Their high output. B. Their distinct appearance.
C. Their rich varieties. D. Their biological advantages.
10. What is one important role of seed libraries?
A. Promoting the study of hybrid fruits and vegetables.
B. Ensuring the availability of heirloom plant varieties.
C. Making efforts to develop entirely new plant species.
D. Encouraging gardeners to change traditional methods.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Gardeners Starve for Best Seeds B. The Rise and Fall of Seed Libraries
C. Seed Libraries Help Gardening Grow D. The Future of Hybrid-plant Gardening
D
A self- driving taxi operated by a Chinese tech giant recently hit a passer-by crossing against a traffic light in Wuhan, capital of Hubei Province, sparking heated discussions on the challenges and limitations facing autonomous driving technology, especially in complex circumstances.
Zhang Xiang, an auto sector researcher at North China University of Technology, said that the incident in Wuhan indicates that self-driving technology has progressed significantly over the past few years, but it still encounters difficulties under ever-changing road conditions and has some limitations when dealing with unconventional behavior, such as motorists or passers-by violating traffic rules. There are still some obstacles to integrating the self-driving vehicles into the existing road traffic safety management system, as the legal duties of relevant subjects involving autonomous vehicles have not been clarified under current laws and regulations.
Meanwhile, the commercial application of robotaxis in more cities across the country has raised concerns about employment, as taxi drivers are worried about losing their jobs due to intense competition from driverless ride-hailing vehicles, industry experts said. So far, more than 20 cities nationwide have introduced policies supporting autonomous driving tests, with more than 60 enterprises having obtained self- driving test licenses.
Nevertheless, some believe that people only prefer to experience this emerging technology, and the number of robotaxis on the road is still far smaller than those of taxis. It is also noted that the pressure on taxi drivers mainly comes from fierce competition between private ride- hailing cars and traditional taxis, and that the autonomous driving vehicles will not have a serious impact on the job market or replace human drivers in the short term.
Despite the challenges, the development of self-driving industry will strengthen the intelligent transformation of auto industry and speed the construction of vehicle-road coordination systems, which support the transfer of information from vehicles to roadway networks as a way to improve traffic efficiency.
According to research company BloombergNEF’s “Electric Vehicle Outlook” report, China will operate the world’s largest robotaxi fleet of about 12 million self-driving vehicles by 2040, followed by the United States with around 7 million such vehicles.
12. According to the passage, how many firms have acquired self-driving test permits in China?
A. More than 20 B. More than 60 C. About 12 million D. Around 7 million
13. The word “coordination” in paragraph 5 most probably means ________.
A. competition B. separation C. cooperation D. replacement
14. What can be inferred from the passage about the current state of self-driving technology?
A. It has completely overcome all challenges in complex road conditions.
B. It still faces difficulties in dealing with unpredictable human behavior on roads.
C. It has been fully integrated into the existing traffic management system.
D. It is already safer than human drivers in all circumstances.
15. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To criticize the safety issues of self-driving technology
B. To promote the use of robotaxis in Chinese cities
C. To discuss the challenges and prospects of self-driving technology
D. To compare self-driving development in China and the US

Up to 80% of premature heart disease can be prevented through lifestyle choices. Some strategies, such as exercising and managing weight, are well known. ___16___ . Preventive cardiologist(心脏病学家)Dr. Beth Abramson emphasizes that even small changes can have significant long-term benefits.
Get eight hours of sleep. “When you’re not rested, everything that happens in your life is a lot more stressful,” says Dr. Arya Sharma, founder of the Canadian Obesity Network and a professor of medicine at the University of Alberta. If we’re sleep-lacking, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure, inflammation and glucose levels. ___17___ .
Avoid polluted air. Exposure to this kind of pollution over time raises your risk of heart disease. Breathing in harmful substances made from chemicals like sulphur dioxide, carbon and nitrogen oxides may irritate arteries and increase inflammation. ___18___ . Try to get your outdoor exercise far away from highways and industrial districts, and spend more time indoors when the air quality index is poor.
Treat depression. “___19___ ,” says Abramson. Not only are we more likely to drink too much alcohol and to avoid exercise, there are also physiological effects of this condition on the body, such as higher levels of stress hormones and blood sugar, that can be associated with poor heart health.
Eat breakfast. Eating breakfast reduces heart disease risk suggests a study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. ___20___. One possible reason: “If you’re eating a proper breakfast, you’re less likely to be hungry later and make poor food choices,” says Abramson. “We need to eat a balanced diet as part of a healthy lifestyle.” Choose whole-grain, low-fat breakfast foods and include fruit.
A. Depression can affect the way we behave
B. They can improve our cardiovascular health
C. But other less obvious methods can also be effective
D. And eating a large breakfast is essential for heart health
E. These factors can all have an impact on cardiovascular health
F. And skipping it greatly increases heart disease risk in later years
G. Even short-term exposure is harmful for those at cardiovascular risk

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 familiar smell of garlic and onion filled the air as I opened my lunch bag to see what my mom had packed for me. On any other occasion, I would have been delighted to eat my mom’s fried tofu: a Chinese dish that I often ate for dinner. But not today, the day a nice girl had invited me, the new girl at school, to sit with her friends during lunch.
“Emma, over here!” My new friend was waving her arms, trying to get my attention.
As I prepared to walk over to the table, memories of elementary and middle school lunchtimes came back. I remembered my embarrassment as my friends would hold their noses when I brought homemade Chinese food. I remembered how my embarrassment changed to anger when I complained about the smell to my mom.
I had argued with my mom that I wanted “normal” food for lunch. I remembered the look on my mom’s face, a mix between disappointment and confusion. But I was determined and she gave in. So for the rest days of middle school, my mom packed odorless (没有气味的), non-Chinese food like ham and cheese sandwiches. However, that day, she was in a rush and packed me leftovers(剩菜) from dinner.
As soon as I got to my new lunch table, I tried to hide my lunch bag down under my seat. I sat quietly, trying not to be noticed when Katrina, a newly met girl, asked where my food was. “I’m not really hungry,” I replied in an insecure voice. But Katrina had already seen me carry my lunch so she spoke out, “Then, I’ll eat it!” The other girls laughed — clearly Katrina was known to be a big eater.
I didn’t want to be rude to a potentially new friend so I reluctantly(不情愿地) dragged out my lunch bag. The moment I opened my lunch box, I could practically taste the garlic and onion. The girls, piqued (激起好奇心) by the smell in the air, all curiously looked at the oval-shaped lunch box. I expected an “Ew” or a “What is that?”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
I thought they would walk away or tell me to leave.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When I arrived home, my mom asked how my day went.

Word spread. Neighbors who had previously just waved politely stopped to admire Harold’s growing landscape. Children brought their parents. Retired workers shared stories about the real trains and towns the models represented.
When the local elementary school heard about Harold’s project they asked if he’d be willing to host a field trip. Harold was surprised. Suddenly, classrooms of children were learning history, engineering, and creativity through his tiny railroad.
Maya convinced her uncle to create a website showing Harold’s railroad. It went popular locally and then regionally. People started sending him miniature (微型的) pieces like a tiny water tower from Wisconsin. Soon the railroad became a living history museum, a classroom, and a gathering place.
On weekends, Harold would let children control the trains, their small hands carefully managing the controllers and their faces lit with pure joy. Some parents noticed their kids were learning patience, precision, and storytelling through this simple hobby.
By the time Harold turned 80, his backyard had become a community landmark. Local schools included visits into their curriculum (课程). retirement homes organized group trips. Artists and historians turned to him. The tiny tracks became something magical, showing how passion, creativity, and openness could build connections far bigger than anyone could imagine.
4. Why did Harold start building the garden railroad?
A. To kill his spare time. B. To host field trips.
C. To train local children. D. To become famous.
5. What was the neighbors’ attitude toward Harold’s project?

C
Seed libraries emerged as a revolutionary concept nearly a generation ago. The earliest example is BASIL, the Bay Area Seed Interchange Library. In 2000, University of CaliforniaBerkeley closed its campus farm to make room for research into genetically modified corn.This left the farm's collection of seeds homeless. Activists persuaded the Berkeley EcologyCenter to sponsor a lending library that would make the seeds available to local gardeners, who in turn would harvest and return seeds from the crops they grew to make possible the next year’s distribution.
From there, the seed library concept took off, spreading throughout all 50 states. Not only do seed libraries offer customers a free start in gardening, they can also make available seeds adapted to local growing conditions. Garden retailers (零售商) tend to stock nationally distributed lines of best-selling seeds that are chosen for their ability to grow over a broad area. A seed library, which isn’t driven by the need for profit, can focus on what performs best in the local soils and climate.
Besides distributing seeds, seed libraries also encourage seed saving among their customers, so that the loans can be repaid at the end of the growing season. This is why the vegetable, fruit and flower varieties that seed libraries distribute are typically open pollinated(授粉). That is, when pollinated naturally by insects, birds, or wind, the plants bear seeds that produce a new generation closely resembling the parents. Hybrids, the mainstay of conventional seed producers, do not “come true” in this fashion, and so they’re avoided by most seed libraries.
This has a couple of significant impacts. First seed libraries tend to emphasize old-fashioned, heirloom (原种) plant varieties that originated before the modern emphasis on hybrid fruits and vegetables. In this way, seed libraries play a significant part in helping to keep such heirlooms available to gardeners. Then, because gardeners typically save seed from the stronger and more fruitful samples, they tend to preserve and reproduce the best adapted individuals. This practice encourages the gradual evolution of an ever-more locally adapted species. In this way, seed libraries are becoming ever more relevant to the needs of gardeners.
8. What distinguishes seed libraries from garden retailers?
A. They focus on locally adapted seeds. B. They offer seeds at a lower price.
C. They prioritize profit over sustainability. D. They distribute best-selling seeds.
9. What is stressed about open-pollinated plants in paragraph 3?
A. Their high output. B. Their distinct appearance.
C. Their rich varieties. D. Their biological advantages.
10. What is one important role of seed libraries?
A. Promoting the study of hybrid fruits and vegetables.
B. Ensuring the availability of heirloom plant varieties.
C. Making efforts to develop entirely new plant species.
D. Encouraging gardeners to change traditional methods.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Gardeners Starve for Best Seeds B. The Rise and Fall of Seed Libraries
C. Seed Libraries Help Gardening Grow D. The Future of Hybrid-plant Gardening
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C

Garden retailers (零售商) tend to stock nationally distributed lines of best-selling seeds that are chosen for their ability to grow over a broad area. A seed library, which isn’t driven by the need for profit, can focus on what performs best in the local soils and climate.(种子图书馆不仅为顾客提供免费的园艺入门机会,还能提供适合当地生长条件的种子。园艺零售商往往会储备在全国范围内销售的畅销种子系列,这些种子是因其在广泛地区生长的能力而被挑选出来的。种子图书馆不受利润需求的驱动,能够专注于在当地土壤和气候条件下表现最佳的种子。)”可知,种子图书馆与园艺零售商的区别在于种子图书馆专注于当地适应的种子。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Besides distributing seeds, seed libraries also encourage seed saving among their customers, so that the loans can be repaid at the end of the growing season. This is why the vegetable, fruit and flower varieties that seed libraries distribute are typically open pollinated (授粉). That is, when pollinated naturally by insects, birds, or wind, the plants bear seeds that produce a new generation closely resembling the parents. Hybrids, the mainstay of conventional seed producers, do not “come true” in this fashion, and so they’re avoided by most seed libraries.(除了分发种子,种子图书馆还鼓励顾客保存种子,以便在生长季节结束时能够归还种子。这就是为什么种子图书馆分发的蔬菜、水果和花卉品种通常是开放授粉的。也就是说,当这些植物被昆虫、鸟类或风自然授粉时,它们结出的种子能产生与亲本非常相似的新一代。杂交品种是传统种子生产者的主要产品,但它们不会以这种方式‘保持纯种特性’,所以大多数种子图书馆都不采用它们。)”可知,第三段强调了开放授粉植物的生物学优势,即它们的种子能产生与亲本相似的后代,而杂交品种不具备这一特点。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“First, seed libraries tend to emphasize old-fashioned, heirloom (原种) plant varieties that originated before the modern emphasis on hybrid fruits and vegetables. In this way, seed libraries play a significant part in helping to keep such heirlooms available to gardeners.(首先,种子图书馆倾向于强调那些在现代重视杂交水果和蔬菜之前就存在的老式原种植物品种。通过这种方式,种子图书馆在帮助园丁们能够获得这些原种植物方面发挥了重要作用。)”可知,种子图书馆的一个重要作用是确保原种植物品种的可获得性。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了种子图书馆的起源、发展以及其在提供适合当地生长的种子、鼓励保存种子、保护原种植物品种等方面对园艺的积极作用。所以C选项Seed Libraries Help Gardening Grow(种子图书馆助力园艺发展)符合文章主旨,适合用作标题。故选C。

A self- driving taxi operated by a Chinese tech giant recently hit a passer-by crossing against a traffic light in Wuhan, capital of Hubei Province, sparking heated discussions on the challenges and limitations facing autonomous driving technology, especially in complex circumstances.
Zhang Xiang, an auto sector researcher at North China University of Technology, said that the incident in Wuhan indicates that self-driving technology has progressed significantly over the past few years, but it still encounters difficulties under ever-changing road conditions and has some limitations when dealing with unconventional behavior, such as motorists or passers-by violating traffic rules. There are still some obstacles to integrating the self-driving vehicles into the existing road traffic safety management system, as the legal duties of relevant subjects involving autonomous vehicles have not been clarified under current laws and regulations.
Meanwhile, the commercial application of robotaxis in more cities across the country has raised concerns about employment, as taxi drivers are worried about losing their jobs due to intense competition from driverless ride-hailing vehicles, industry experts said. So far, more than 20 cities nationwide have introduced policies supporting autonomous driving tests, with more than 60 enterprises having obtained self- driving test licenses.
Nevertheless, some believe that people only prefer to experience this emerging technology, and the number of robotaxis on the road is still far smaller than those of taxis. It is also noted that the pressure on taxi drivers mainly comes from fierce competition between private ride- hailing cars and traditional taxis, and that the autonomous driving vehicles will not have a serious impact on the job market or replace human drivers in the short term.
Despite the challenges, the development of self-driving industry will strengthen the intelligent transformation of auto industry and speed the construction of vehicle-road coordination systems, which support the transfer of information from vehicles to roadway networks as a way to improve traffic efficiency.
According to research company BloombergNEF’s “Electric Vehicle Outlook” report, China will operate the world’s largest robotaxi fleet of about 12 million self-driving vehicles by 2040, followed by the United States with around 7 million such vehicles.
12. According to the passage, how many firms have acquired self-driving test permits in China?
A. More than 20 B. More than 60 C. About 12 million D. Around 7 million
13. The word “coordination” in paragraph 5 most probably means ________.
A. competition B. separation C. cooperation D. replacement
14. What can be inferred from the passage about the current state of self-driving technology?
A. It has completely overcome all challenges in complex road conditions.
B. It still faces difficulties in dealing with unpredictable human behavior on roads.
C. It has been fully integrated into the existing traffic management system.
D. It is already safer than human drivers in all circumstances.
15. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To criticize the safety issues of self-driving technology
B. To promote the use of robotaxis in Chinese cities
C. To discuss the challenges and prospects of self-driving technology
D. To compare self-driving development in China and the US
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. C

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了位于河西走廊西端的玉门关。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它位于敦煌西北约90公里处,标志着走廊的西端,具有深远的历史和情感意义。“(hold) profound historical and emotional significance”作伴随状语,hold(具有)用非谓语动词形式,与其逻辑主语it之间是主动关系,用现在分词形式表主动。故填holding。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:对于那些离开的人来说,这是对熟悉土地的最后告别,是在消失在未知世界之前回顾的地方。“the+形容词”是固定结构,表示“具有该形容词特征的一类人或物”,the unknown意为“未知世界”,作宾语。故填the。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:对于那些到达的人来说,它象征着希望之门——沙漠和它的艰辛都被抛在了后面。leave behind(留下)作with复合结构中的宾语补足语,用非谓语动词形式,与其逻辑主语the desert and its hardships之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动。故填left。
【39题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:玉门关原本三面环水,现在只剩下一个矩形堡垒。consist(由……组成)是谓语动词,与主语Yumen pass之间是主动关系,描述客观事实,用一般现在时,主语是单数名词,谓语动词用单数形式。故填consists。
【40题详解】
考查固定句型。句意:它的旧城墙与周围的戈壁混合得如此之好,以至于很难分辨出关隘的尽头和沙漠的开始。“so...that...”是固定句型,意为“如此……以至于……”,that引导结果状语从句。故填that。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:尽管它的外观已经风化,但作为汉朝的前哨和联合国教科文组织世界遗产,它仍然值得长途跋涉去参观。提示词作宾语,用名词appearance,意为“外观”,不可数名词。故填appearance。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意:尽管它的外观已经风化,但作为汉朝的前哨和联合国教科文组织世界遗产,它仍然值得长途跋涉去参观。提示词修饰动词deserves,用副词truly作状语,意为“真正地”。故填truly。
【43题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:玉石原料曾经通过走廊,作为古丝绸之路的一部分,运到作坊,在那里被加工成美丽的仪式用品和装饰品。transform(加工)是从句中谓语动词,与主语it之间是被动关系,描述过去发生的事情,用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是单数代词,谓语动词用单数形式。故填was transformed。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:不仅玉石,金属加工和战车制造的技术也早在张骞的里程碑式旅行之前就沿着这条路线传播。名词technique作主语,意为“技术”,结合“of metalworking and chariot-building”可知,指多项技术,用复数形式。故填techniques。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:玉门关不仅仅是石头和泥土——它是一座跨越时间的桥梁,将我们的现在与丝绸之路上的旅行者联系在一起。“__10__ links our present to the travelers of the Silk Road”是非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词a bridge,指物,关系词将其代入定语从句中作主语,应使用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。

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 familiar smell of garlic and onion filled the air as I opened my lunch bag to see what my mom had packed for me. On any other occasion, I would have been delighted to eat my mom’s fried tofu: a Chinese dish that I often ate for dinner. But not today, the day a nice girl had invited me, the new girl at school, to sit with her friends during lunch.
“Emma, over here!” My new friend was waving her arms, trying to get my attention.
As I prepared to walk over to the table, memories of elementary and middle school lunchtimes came back. I remembered my embarrassment as my friends would hold their noses when I brought homemade Chinese food. I remembered how my embarrassment changed to anger when I complained about the smell to my mom.
I had argued with my mom that I wanted “normal” food for lunch. I remembered the look on my mom’s face, a mix between disappointment and confusion. But I was determined and she gave in. So for the rest days of middle school, my mom packed odorless (没有气味的), non-Chinese food like ham and cheese sandwiches. However, that day, she was in a rush and packed me leftovers(剩菜) from dinner.
As soon as I got to my new lunch table, I tried to hide my lunch bag down under my seat. I sat quietly, trying not to be noticed when Katrina, a newly met girl, asked where my food was. “I’m not really hungry,” I replied in an insecure voice. But Katrina had already seen me carry my lunch so she spoke out, “Then, I’ll eat it!” The other girls laughed — clearly Katrina was known to be a big eater.
I didn’t want to be rude to a potentially new friend so I reluctantly(不情愿地) dragged out my lunch bag. The moment I opened my lunch box, I could practically taste the garlic and onion. The girls, piqued (激起好奇心) by the smell in the air, all curiously looked at the oval-shaped lunch box. I expected an “Ew” or a “What is that?”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
I thought they would walk away or tell me to leave.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When I arrived home, my mom asked how my day went.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I thought they would walk away or tell me to leave. What I did not expect was that Katrina immediately grabbed a small piece of tofu and ate it. And I most certainly did not expect her to encourage the rest of the table to try my lunch. My new friends were going on about how lucky I was that my mom took the time to prepare a cooked meal for me. They were surprised by the fact that tofu could actually taste good. While I didn’t get to eat any of my mom’s fried tofu, I was full of pride and gratitude.
When I arrived home, my mom asked how my day went. Answering with a simple “Good,” I pulled out my lunch box from my bag. “I’m sorry, but I didn’t have time to buy bread or ham yesterday.” But when she noticed that the container was empty, she hesitated before asking “How was the food?” I paused a moment before I replied, “Perfect, mom. If it’s not too much trouble, can I still have fried tofu for lunch tomorrow?” (161 words)
【解析】
