At 16, I thought I was ready for a big rock climb. My dad took me to a mountain one sunny day. He led the way up, placing safety equipment in the rock cracks. I followed, connected to him by a red rope. When we reached the top, I felt on top of the world — strong and fearless.
The challenge came when we had to rappel (绳降) down the other side. Looking down, I felt sick with fear. Our rope wasn’t long enough, so Dad had to use an old rope left by others. As I went over the edge, my heart pounded so hard against my rib cage (胸廓) that it hurt, and I wished I were back at the campsite roasting marshmallows (棉花糖) with my little sisters.
Halfway down, I was balancing on a small rock when my dad shouted a warning. A fist-sized stone hit my hand sharply. Pain shot through my arm. I was frozen, terrified that one wrong step would make me fall. I could only focus on the thin red rope tying me to my dad above.
When Dad reached me, I was cold, tired, and too scared to speak properly. After checking I wasn’t seriously hurt, he calmly showed me what to do. “Sit back in your safety belt. It will hold you,” he said, demonstrating by leaning back himself. Trusting him, I followed suit. My shaking leg finally calmed. Together, we rappelled the rest of the way down.
When my feet touched solid ground, my legs collapsed. In that moment of relief, I realized something important. It wasn’t just the climbing I loved, but the feeling of being someone adventurous and capable, and someone who could face fear with trust.
We had many more adventures after that. Each tested my limits and involved moments of fear. But I always trusted my dad to bring us home safe. Every experience, even the scary ones, became a treasured story.
4. What was the author’s initial feeling while rappelling down?
A. Regretful and scared. B. Expectant and nervous.
C. Confident and fearless. D. Disappointed and confused.
5. What challenge did the author encounter during the rappel?
A. She slipped off a small rock. B. She lost her safety equipment.
C. She was hit by a falling stone. D. She took one wrong movement.
6. How did the author’s dad help her?
A. By shortening their distance. B. By offering physical support.
C. By giving clear instructions. D. By leaving her alone to calm down.
7. What did the author learn from her adventures?
A. Father knows the mountain best. B. Trust can help one overcome fear.
C. Proper equipment is the key to safety. D. Adventure stories are worth risking for.

Can AI music ever feel truly human? A recent experiment with the AI music platform Suno offers some clues. The study, which used thousands of Suno-generated songs, asked participants to tell AI music apart from human compositions. Results showed that people were only about 53% accurate — almost like guessing. When the music styles were very similar, accuracy rose to 66%, but Suno’s models are advancing rapidly.
I tried Suno myself, using it to make a “1960s-style folk rock protest song with earnest male vocals.” The AI created it in seconds. Though I couldn’t easily tell it from human-made music, it didn’t touch me emotionally. This connects me to my personal experience with Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth”, a song tied to memories of my father teaching me to play it — memories that make the song meaningful.
Technology has long changed our relationship with music. From early file-sharing to modern streaming services, access has become seamless, as David Bowie, an iconic British rock musician active in the 1970s and 1980s, predicted years ago. Now, AI like Suno adds more music to the mix, with Spotify, a leading music streaming platform, recently removing 75 million “spammy (垃圾的)” tracks (though how many of them were AI-made isn’t known).
History shows new music technologies always cause debate. For example, sampling was once seen as lazy or theft but is now considered an art form. AI music faces similar copyright questions, but its connection to music feels less personal than a DJ sampling a beloved song.
While AI music quality improves, most of it, like most human music, may be forgotten. Listeners often seek more than technical skill — they seek stories and human connections. Some exceptional AI songs might find use in films or internet memes, but deep emotional resonance still comes from human experiences.
We should remain cautious, though. Past inventions like player pianos reduced family music-making at home. David Bowie believed live performances would remain the key to real audience connection. For now, AI can mimic the sound of human music, but the human touch — the memories, stories, and passion behind it — is what makes music truly meaningful.
8. What was a key finding of the recent study on AI music?
A. AI music styles are more diverse. B. AI music can’t convey human emotions.
C. AI music is more efficient to generate. D. AI music models have stopped improving.
9. Why did the author mention his father?
A. To compare different music styles. B. To show his father’s musical talent.
C. To explain how to learn to play a song. D. To prove AI music lacks emotional depth.
10. What does the underlined word “seamless” in paragraph 3 most likely mean?
A. Useless. B. Endless. C. Helpless. D. Effortless.
11. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain how AI music technology works.
B. To prove that AI music will be more widespread.
C. To discuss whether AI music can touch our hearts.
D. To advise that musicians should give live performances.

Rice, the world’s common staple food, is now being used to produce a life-saving medicine. Scientists at Healthgen Biotechnology, a Chinese company in Wuhan, Hubei province, are genetically engineering rice plants to create human serum albumin (HSA,人血清白蛋白), an important blood protein.
HSA is the smallest but most common protein in blood. Produced by the liver, it helps keep the right balance of fluids (液体) between blood vessels and surrounding tissues. A lack of such proteins can cause serious medical problems.
HSA is vital for treating burns, severe bleeding, and certain cancers. Traditionally, it comes from donated human blood, but supply is limited. In China, over 60% of HSA needed had to be imported. Yang Daicheng, founder of Healthgen, told China Daily, “We put human genes into the rice plant to produce HSA.” As the rice grows, HSA is made and stored in the seeds, which are then harvested to extract the protein. This approach, known as molecular farming (分子农业), turns rice into a “protein factory”.
This technology offers key advantages. It does not depend on blood donations, avoiding any risk of spreading viruses from donors. It is also cost-effective because increasing production simply means planting more rice. Furthermore, dried rice seeds can be stored for years without the protein losing its effectiveness, and the genetic stability of rice ensures consistent quality.
The company’s progress has been rapid. Early versions of their modified rice produced 2.75 grams of HSA per kilogram. Through improved technology, yield has risen to 30 grams per kilogram, with a goal of over 40 grams. The company now produces one million doses of its rice-made HSA drug each year and is building a new facility set to open in 2026. When completed, it will produce 130 tons of HSA annually, potentially replacing a quarter of China’s HSA imports.
The success with rice opens doors for molecular farming using other plants. For example, soybeans are being engineered to produce proteins for making animal-free cheese.
12. What can we learn about HSA from the text?
A. It speeds up the recovery of wounds.
B. It helps regulate the balance of body fluids.
C. It is generated by heart to aid blood circulation.
D. It is transported by blood vessels to build body tissues.
13. What problem does molecular farming help address?
A. The safety risk of genetic engineering. B. The decrease of rice production in China.
C. The shortage of blood-based HSA supply. D. The rising cost of importing medical drugs.
14. What can be inferred about Healthgen’s future development?
A. It plans to export its HSA products abroad. B. It will stop using imported medical proteins.
C. It will totally replace the imported HSA in 2026. D. It will grow other genetically engineered plants.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Rice: a Medicine for Life-saving. B. Rice: a Source of Life-saving Protein.
C. HSA: a Key to Treating Severe Diseases. D. HSA: a Protein Important for Human Health.

Could Viewing Art Be the Next Public Health prescription (处方药)?
In an era characterized by burnout and scrolling, a therapeutic (疗愈性的) alternative is hanging on a gallery wall. When volunteers at London’s Courtauld Gallery stood before masterpieces, their stress and inflammation (炎症) levels dropped compared with those of volunteers viewing reproductions. ____16____
That art can lift spirits is well known. ____17____ A study by King’s College London asked participants to look at masterworks by 19th-century post-impressionists while wearing sensors. Half the group saw the originals in the gallery, half viewed copies in a lab. The results were clear: going to art galleries is good for your physical health — relieving stress and cutting heart disease risk, as well as boosting the immune system.
____18____ Earlier this summer, a team of Cambridge psychologists conducted a similar project to show how appreciating artistic beauty helps escape the “mental trappings of daily life.” Besides, a Nature Magazine’s review suggests that art can play a role in public health. And for the first time in its long history, The Lancet recently ran a photo essay showcasing how art can enhance lives.
“When you experience an artwork, you don’t just see it, but you feel it,” the art historian Katy Hessel writes. “The best thing we can do is take time with it.” Time, of course, is what we are lacking in today’s fast-paced world. ____19____ Galleries are quiet, thoughtful places. We stop scrolling and start really looking. Deeply engaging with a work of art creates “psychological distancing” and enables us to see and take pleasure what is not ourselves.
Today we are advised to exercise and eat healthily. ____20____ After all, science has spoken for this.
A. But that it calms the body is novel.
B. So we should make art more accessible to all.
C. There’s growing evidence to support that opinion.
D. Galleries bring us face to face with human genius.
E. But this seems to be key to art’s therapeutic powers.
F. Will doctors soon be prescribing a visit to a local gallery?
G. Science suggests that original art is a medicine that one can view rather than swallow.

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 summer I was six, my family moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I spent most of my days playing around the house or hanging around my mother. Finally, fall arrived and I started Grade 2. I went to St. Eugene’s and was introduced to my new teacher, Sister Monda. I was a bit surprised by this kind woman with fine features. She had a loud voice, walked quickly, and always wore a smile.
School days carried the normal activities of classes, lunch, and recess (课间休息). Reccess was always the toughest time for me. Being rather shy, I found it difficult for me to make friends. On the playground I would sit with my back to the other kids, crying. I missed my mother, but also feared that the other kids would laugh at me when they saw me crying. This went on day after day and seemed like it would never end. Then one day I saw my mother stop at the gas station across the street from the playground. Noticing her, I ran across the street as quickly as possible, and made it to her side safely. By this point, I was crying loudly, begging my mother to take me home.
Instead, my mother took me to the principal’s office, and Sister Monda joined us there. When asked how we could deal with the situation, Sister Monda simply stated, “Just wait. It’s time to get busy.”
And we did get busy. When recess rolled around, Sister Monda was the full-time group leader. She made sure every kid got an opportunity to catch the football, hike it, and block her awesome passing ability. She got everyone involved in the games. In reality, she set herself up to be the main target of all the balls the other kids and I threw, but she didn’t mind at all. She was the best and tallest basketball player, but she always made certain everyone got a chance to shoot for the basket and bounce the ball down the court.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With the help of Sister Monda, I stopped hiding in the corner at recess.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On the last day of school, I held a folded paper and walked to Sister Monda’s desk.

At 16, I thought I was ready for a big rock climb. My dad took me to a mountain one sunny day. He led the way up, placing safety equipment in the rock cracks. I followed, connected to him by a red rope. When we reached the top, I felt on top of the world — strong and fearless.
The challenge came when we had to rappel (绳降) down the other side. Looking down, I felt sick with fear. Our rope wasn’t long enough, so Dad had to use an old rope left by others. As I went over the edge, my heart pounded so hard against my rib cage (胸廓) that it hurt, and I wished I were back at the campsite roasting marshmallows (棉花糖) with my little sisters.
Halfway down, I was balancing on a small rock when my dad shouted a warning. A fist-sized stone hit my hand sharply. Pain shot through my arm. I was frozen, terrified that one wrong step would make me fall. I could only focus on the thin red rope tying me to my dad above.
When Dad reached me, I was cold, tired, and too scared to speak properly. After checking I wasn’t seriously hurt, he calmly showed me what to do. “Sit back in your safety belt. It will hold you,” he said, demonstrating by leaning back himself. Trusting him, I followed suit. My shaking leg finally calmed. Together, we rappelled the rest of the way down.
When my feet touched solid ground, my legs collapsed. In that moment of relief, I realized something important. It wasn’t just the climbing I loved, but the feeling of being someone adventurous and capable, and someone who could face fear with trust.
We had many more adventures after that. Each tested my limits and involved moments of fear. But I always trusted my dad to bring us home safe. Every experience, even the scary ones, became a treasured story.
4. What was the author’s initial feeling while rappelling down?
A. Regretful and scared. B. Expectant and nervous.
C. Confident and fearless. D. Disappointed and confused.

Can AI music ever feel truly human? A recent experiment with the AI music platform Suno offers some clues. The study, which used thousands of Suno-generated songs, asked participants to tell AI music apart from human compositions. Results showed that people were only about 53% accurate — almost like guessing. When the music styles were very similar, accuracy rose to 66%, but Suno’s models are advancing rapidly.
I tried Suno myself, using it to make a “1960s-style folk rock protest song with earnest male vocals.” The AI created it in seconds. Though I couldn’t easily tell it from human-made music, it didn’t touch me emotionally. This connects me to my personal experience with Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth”, a song tied to memories of my father teaching me to play it — memories that make the song meaningful.
Technology has long changed our relationship with music. From early file-sharing to modern streaming services, access has become seamless, as David Bowie, an iconic British rock musician active in the 1970s and 1980s, predicted years ago. Now, AI like Suno adds more music to the mix, with Spotify, a leading music streaming platform, recently removing 75 million “spammy (垃圾的)” tracks (though how many of them were AI-made isn’t known).
History shows new music technologies always cause debate. For example, sampling was once seen as lazy or theft but is now considered an art form. AI music faces similar copyright questions, but its connection to music feels less personal than a DJ sampling a beloved song.
While AI music quality improves, most of it, like most human music, may be forgotten. Listeners often seek more than technical skill — they seek stories and human connections. Some exceptional AI songs might find use in films or internet memes, but deep emotional resonance still comes from human experiences.
We should remain cautious, though. Past inventions like player pianos reduced family music-making at home. David Bowie believed live performances would remain the key to real audience connection. For now, AI can mimic the sound of human music, but the human touch — the memories, stories, and passion behind it — is what makes music truly meaningful.
8. What was a key finding of the recent study on AI music?
A. AI music styles are more diverse. B. AI music can’t convey human emotions.
C. AI music is more efficient to generate. D. AI music models have stopped improving.
9. Why did the author mention his father?
A. To compare different music styles. B. To show his father’s musical talent.
C. To explain how to learn to play a song. D. To prove AI music lacks emotional depth.
10. What does the underlined word “seamless” in paragraph 3 most likely mean?
A. Useless. B. Endless. C. Helpless. D. Effortless.
11. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain how AI music technology works.
B. To prove that AI music will be more widespread.
C. To discuss whether AI music can touch our hearts.
D. To advise that musicians should give live performances.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. C
【解析】

Rice, the world’s common staple food, is now being used to produce a life-saving medicine. Scientists at Healthgen Biotechnology, a Chinese company in Wuhan, Hubei province, are genetically engineering rice plants to create human serum albumin (HSA,人血清白蛋白), an important blood protein.
HSA is the smallest but most common protein in blood. Produced by the liver, it helps keep the right balance of fluids (液体) between blood vessels and surrounding tissues. A lack of such proteins can cause serious medical problems.
HSA is vital for treating burns, severe bleeding, and certain cancers. Traditionally, it comes from donated human blood, but supply is limited. In China, over 60% of HSA needed had to be imported. Yang Daicheng, founder of Healthgen, told China Daily, “We put human genes into the rice plant to produce HSA.” As the rice grows, HSA is made and stored in the seeds, which are then harvested to extract the protein. This approach, known as molecular farming (分子农业), turns rice into a “protein factory”.
This technology offers key advantages. It does not depend on blood donations, avoiding any risk of spreading viruses from donors. It is also cost-effective because increasing production simply means planting more rice. Furthermore, dried rice seeds can be stored for years without the protein losing its effectiveness, and the genetic stability of rice ensures consistent quality.
The company’s progress has been rapid. Early versions of their modified rice produced 2.75 grams of HSA per kilogram. Through improved technology, yield has risen to 30 grams per kilogram, with a goal of over 40 grams. The company now produces one million doses of its rice-made HSA drug each year and is building a new facility set to open in 2026. When completed, it will produce 130 tons of HSA annually, potentially replacing a quarter of China’s HSA imports.
The success with rice opens doors for molecular farming using other plants. For example, soybeans are being engineered to produce proteins for making animal-free cheese.
12. What can we learn about HSA from the text?
A. It speeds up the recovery of wounds.
B. It helps regulate the balance of body fluids.
C. It is generated by heart to aid blood circulation.
D. It is transported by blood vessels to build body tissues.
13. What problem does molecular farming help address?
A. The safety risk of genetic engineering. B. The decrease of rice production in China.
C. The shortage of blood-based HSA supply. D. The rising cost of importing medical drugs.
14. What can be inferred about Healthgen’s future development?
A. It plans to export its HSA products abroad. B. It will stop using imported medical proteins.
C. It will totally replace the imported HSA in 2026. D. It will grow other genetically engineered plants.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Rice: a Medicine for Life-saving. B. Rice: a Source of Life-saving Protein.
C. HSA: a Key to Treating Severe Diseases. D. HSA: a Protein Important for Human Health.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】

【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“This technology offers key advantages. It does not depend on blood donations, avoiding any risk of spreading viruses from donors.(这项技术具备多项核心优势。它无需依赖献血,从而避免了由供血者传播病毒的各类风险。)”可知,分子农业能够解决血液中的人血白蛋白供应短缺问题。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The success with rice opens doors for molecular farming using other plants. For example, soybeans are being engineered to produce proteins for making animal-free cheese.(水稻种植的成功为利用其他植物进行分子农业开辟了道路。例如,人们正在对大豆进行基因改造,使其能够产生用于制作不含动物成分的奶酪所需的蛋白质)”可知,Healthgen公司未来将培育其他基因工程植物。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Rice, the world’s common staple food, is now being used to produce a life-saving medicine. Scientists at Healthgen Biotechnology, a Chinese company in Wuhan, Hubei province, are genetically engineering rice plants to create human serum albumin (HSA,人血清白蛋白), an important blood protein.(水稻,作为全球常见的主食,如今正被用于生产一种救命药物。位于湖北省武汉市的中国企业禾元生物的科学家们,正在通过基因工程改造水稻植株,以制造人血清白蛋白(HSA)—— 一种重要的血液蛋白)”结合本文介绍中国科学家利用基因工程水稻生产人血清白蛋白(HSA)。该技术解决了血液提取供应短缺的问题,具有安全、低成本优势,且未来有望拓展至大豆等其他作物。可知,B选项“水稻:一种拯救生命的蛋白质来源”最符合文章标题。故选B。

Could Viewing Art Be the Next Public Health prescription (处方药)?
In an era characterized by burnout and scrolling, a therapeutic (疗愈性的) alternative is hanging on a gallery wall. When volunteers at London’s Courtauld Gallery stood before masterpieces, their stress and inflammation (炎症) levels dropped compared with those of volunteers viewing reproductions. ____16____
That art can lift spirits is well known. ____17____ A study by King’s College London asked participants to look at masterworks by 19th-century post-impressionists while wearing sensors. Half the group saw the originals in the gallery, half viewed copies in a lab. The results were clear: going to art galleries is good for your physical health — relieving stress and cutting heart disease risk, as well as boosting the immune system.
____18____ Earlier this summer, a team of Cambridge psychologists conducted a similar project to show how appreciating artistic beauty helps escape the “mental trappings of daily life.” Besides, a Nature Magazine’s review suggests that art can play a role in public health. And for the first time in its long history, The Lancet recently ran a photo essay showcasing how art can enhance lives.
“When you experience an artwork, you don’t just see it, but you feel it,” the art historian Katy Hessel writes. “The best thing we can do is take time with it.” Time, of course, is what we are lacking in today’s fast-paced world. ____19____ Galleries are quiet, thoughtful places. We stop scrolling and start really looking. Deeply engaging with a work of art creates “psychological distancing” and enables us to see and take pleasure what is not ourselves.
Today we are advised to exercise and eat healthily. ____20____ After all, science has spoken for this.
A. But that it calms the body is novel.
B. So we should make art more accessible to all.
C. There’s growing evidence to support that opinion.
D. Galleries bring us face to face with human genius.
E. But this seems to be key to art’s therapeutic powers.
F. Will doctors soon be prescribing a visit to a local gallery?
G. Science suggests that original art is a medicine that one can view rather than swallow.
【答案】16. G 17. A 18. C 19. E 20. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了欣赏艺术品对身心健康产生的积极影响,并通过多项科学研究加以论证,提出了未来“艺术处方”的可能性。
【16题详解】
前文“In an era characterized by burnout and scrolling, a therapeutic alternative is hanging on a gallery wall. (在一个以倦怠和刷屏为特征的时代,一种疗愈性的替代方案正挂在美术馆的墙上。)”提出问题背景并隐喻性地提出解决方案,后文“That art can lift spirits is well known. (艺术能振奋精神是众所周知的。)”转向陈述普遍认知。空处需要一个衔接句,既承接前文的“替代方案”隐喻,又为后文的普遍认知转折做铺垫。G项“Science suggests that original art is a medicine that one can view rather than swallow. (科学表明,原作是一种可以观看而非吞服的药物。)”用“科学表明”将前文的比喻具体化为一个科学论断,同时“可以观看而非吞服的药物”与后文“能振奋精神”共同构成艺术不同层面的益处,逻辑衔接紧密。故选G。
【17题详解】
前文“That art can lift spirits is well known. (艺术能振奋精神是众所周知的。)”是普遍的精神层面认知,后文“A study by King’s College London asked participants to look at masterworks by 19th-century post-impressionists while wearing sensors. Half the group saw the originals in the gallery, half viewed copies in a lab. The results were clear: going to art galleries is good for your physical health --- relieving stress and cutting heart disease risk, as well as boosting the immune system. (伦敦国王学院的一项研究要求参与者在佩戴传感器的情况下观看19世纪后印象派大师的作品。一半人在美术馆看原作,另一半在实验室看复制品。结果很明确:去美术馆对你的身体健康有益——缓解压力、降低心脏病风险,还能增强免疫系统。)”是具体的身体益处研究。空处需要一个转折,从“精神”转向“身体”,并提示这个新发现。A项“But that it calms the body is novel. (但它能使身体平静这一点却是新颖的。)”通过“But”进行语义转折,“calms the body”与后文研究的“relieving stress... good for your physical health”直接对应,“novel”则点明这是新的发现。故选A。
【18题详解】
前文“The results were clear: going to art galleries is good for your physical health — relieving stress and cutting heart disease risk, as well as boosting the immune system. (结果很明确:去美术馆对你的身体健康有益——缓解压力、降低心脏病风险,还能增强免疫系统。)”是一项研究的结论,后文“Earlier this summer, a team of Cambridge psychologists conducted a similar project to show how appreciating artistic beauty helps escape the ‘mental trappings of daily life.’ Besides, a Nature Magazine’s review suggests that art can play a role in public health. And for the first time in its long history, The Lancet recently ran a photo essay showcasing how art can enhance lives. (今年初夏,剑桥大学的一个心理学家团队进行了一个类似的项目,以展示欣赏艺术之美如何帮助人们摆脱‘日常生活的精神困境’。此外,《自然》杂志的一篇评论也表明艺术可以在公共健康中发挥作用。在其悠久的历史中,《柳叶刀》杂志最近首次发表了一篇摄影散文,展示艺术如何提升生活。)”是多项其他证据。空处应承上启下,总结前文的观点并引出更多的证据支持。C项“There’s growing evidence to support that opinion. (有越来越多的证据支持这一观点。)”中的“that opinion”指代前文“艺术有益健康”的观点,“growing evidence”则引出后文列举的剑桥研究、《自然》杂志评论和《柳叶刀》文章,起到了自然的过渡作用。故选C。
【19题详解】
前文引用了艺术史学家的观点和作者的评论“The best thing we can do is take time with it. Time, of course, is what we are lacking in today’s fast-paced world.(我们能做的最好的事情就是花时间与它相处。当然,时间正是我们在当今快节奏世界中所缺乏的。)”强调了花时间欣赏艺术的重要性及其与现实时间匮乏之间的矛盾。后文“ Galleries are quiet, thoughtful places. We stop scrolling and start really looking. Deeply engaging with a work of art creates “psychological distancing” and enables us to see and take pleasure what is not ourselves.(美术馆是静谧、令人沉思的空间。在这里,我们不再滑动屏幕,而是真正开始凝视。深度沉浸于一件艺术作品之中,创造出一种“心理距离”,使我们得以观照并在他者中获得愉悦。)”具体描述了画廊环境和深度参与艺术带来的心理益处。由此可知,空处应点明“花时间”这一行为与艺术疗愈效果之间的关键联系。选项E“But this seems to be key to art's therapeutic powers.(但这似乎是艺术治疗力量的关键。)”中“this”明确指代前文完整句意所强调的“花时间欣赏艺术”这一核心建议,后文则是对此关键作用(即创造“心理距离”)的具体阐述,形成因果解释,衔接自然,故选E。
【20题详解】
前文“Today we are advised to exercise and eat healthily.(今天我们被建议锻炼和健康饮食。)”列举了常规的健康建议。后文“After all, science has spoken for this.(毕竟,科学已经为此说话了。)”总结指出科学为前述观点提供了依据。由此可知,空处应提出一个与常规健康建议并列的新建议,且该建议同样有科学支持。选项F“Will doctors soon be prescribing a visit to a local gallery?(医生会很快开出去当地画廊的处方吗?)”以设问形式,将“参观画廊”类比为一种可被“处方”的健康干预手段,与前文的“锻炼、健康饮食”建议相呼应,后文的“this”即指代该设问观点,表明科学已为其提供证据,逻辑合理,故选F。

【答案】例文①
Dear Mike,
Delighted to hear you’re keen on the labor practice activities! Personally, I highly recommend the community tree-planting event — it’s far more than just physical work.
Firstly, working outdoors allows you to immerse yourself in nature, which is a refreshing break from campus life. Secondly, interacting with local residents while planting trees will deepen your understanding of the community culture, offering unique insights you can’t gain from books. Moreover, contributing to environmental protection is a noble and fulfilling endeavor that leaves a lasting impact.
The library arrangement is also a decent option if you prefer a tranquil setting. Feel free to share your final choice with me!
Yours,
Li Hua
例文②
Dear Mike,
Delighted to receive your letter asking for advice on choosing between the two labor practice activities! Personally, I wholeheartedly recommend you to participate in the traditional Chinese food-making activity on campus.
Firstly, this activity serves as a vivid window into Chinese culinary culture. You’ll get hands-on experience in crafting classic delicacies such as tangyuan (glutinous rice balls) or zongzi (rice dumplings), each carrying profound cultural significance and festival traditions. Secondly, cooperating with fellow students in the kitchen will not only strengthen your bonds but also allow you to exchange cultural insights in a relaxed atmosphere. Additionally, the on-campus setting spares you the trouble of long-distance travel, ensuring a convenient and safe experience.
If you’re interested, I’d be more than happy to share some tips for making these snacks in advance. I’m sure you’ll have an unforgettable time exploring the charm of Chinese food!
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整短文。
The summer I was six, my family moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I spent most of my days playing around the house or hanging around my mother. Finally, fall arrived and I started Grade 2. I went to St. Eugene’s and was introduced to my new teacher, Sister Monda. I was a bit surprised by this kind woman with fine features. She had a loud voice, walked quickly, and always wore a smile.
School days carried the normal activities of classes, lunch, and recess (课间休息). Reccess was always the toughest time for me. Being rather shy, I found it difficult for me to make friends. On the playground I would sit with my back to the other kids, crying. I missed my mother, but also feared that the other kids would laugh at me when they saw me crying. This went on day after day and seemed like it would never end. Then one day I saw my mother stop at the gas station across the street from the playground. Noticing her, I ran across the street as quickly as possible, and made it to her side safely. By this point, I was crying loudly, begging my mother to take me home.
Instead, my mother took me to the principal’s office, and Sister Monda joined us there. When asked how we could deal with the situation, Sister Monda simply stated, “Just wait. It’s time to get busy.”
And we did get busy. When recess rolled around, Sister Monda was the full-time group leader. She made sure every kid got an opportunity to catch the football, hike it, and block her awesome passing ability. She got everyone involved in the games. In reality, she set herself up to be the main target of all the balls the other kids and I threw, but she didn’t mind at all. She was the best and tallest basketball player, but she always made certain everyone got a chance to shoot for the basket and bounce the ball down the court.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With the help of Sister Monda, I stopped hiding in the corner at recess.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On the last day of school, I held a folded paper and walked to Sister Monda’s desk.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
With the help of Sister Monda, I stopped hiding in the corner at recess. Sister Monda’s energetic presence transformed the playground. She’d catch my eye from across the yard, signaling me over with a wide smile before pressing a football into my palms, her gentle guidance helping me find my rhythm as I threw and caught. When I lingered on the sidelines of basketball games, she would create space for me, her encouraging nods pushing me to step forward and take a shot — cheers erupting when the ball found the net. Gradually, I found myself running alongside other kids, chasing the ball and sharing laughter that chased away my shyness. The playground, once a place of loneliness, turned into a space filled with joy and new friendships.
On the last day of school, I held a folded paper and walked to Sister Monda’s desk. It was a drawing of her — tall, smiling, surrounded by kids playing happily. I pressed it into her hands, my cheeks warm. She unfolded it slowly, her eyes softening as she traced the lines. Without a word, she taped it to her desk, right where everyone could see. Then she handed me a small basketball, its surface worn but smooth. I clutched it tightly, knowing her kindness had not only helped me fit in but also planted a seed of courage in my heart.
