Royal Academy of Arts (RA), London
Not your standard gallery, the Royal Academy of Arts is led by artists to promote not just the appreciation of art, but its practice. It is world-famous for hosting some exhibitions that get everyone talking. Besides, what sets the RA apart is its engagement with the public through participatory (参与式的) experiences, allowing visitors to not only view art but become part of it in innovative ways.
Yorkshire Sculpture Park, West Yorkshire
Tearing up the rulebook when it comes to how we traditionally view art, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park tries to break down barriers by showing works from British and international artists in the open air. Set in hundreds of acres (of West Yorkshire parkland, you’ll see sculptures by some of the leading artists of the 20th century.
Whitworth, Manchester
After a sky-high £15 million development, the Whitworth is becoming one of the premier galleries in the north of England.

Wu Xiong, a 40-year-old headmaster, has spent 20 years turning a once-deserted rural school in the mountains into a center for sports and education.
In 2004, Wu became headmaster of Tangfang Primary School in Baling Town, Guizhou Province. At that time, the school was merely an old house, with 3 teachers and 75 students. Worse still, many children showed little interest in attending school. To address this issue, Wu had an idea: sports. In 2006, the school held its first sports meeting. “We carried a cement slab (水泥板) from 1.5 kilometers away and used wooden boards as a net for a table tennis competition,” Wu recalled.
With more money put into education, Tangfang Primary School got better facilities, but Wu still felt it necessary for students to participate in sporting activities. Now, basketball hoops (篮圈) are designed in three different sizes to suit students of different age groups, while sports equipment storage facilities are never locked up. Wu also makes it a rule that PE cannot yield to other subjects.
Now, students have at least 2.5 hours set aside every day for physical activities. Among the 469 students of the school, only six wear glasses. Meanwhile, by participating in various sports competitions, the students learn how to deal with wins and losses properly. According to a recent report, the school's average scores have risen from below 30 in 2004 to over 80 in 2023. Sports have offered the students another way out of the mountains. More than 100 graduates of the school have entered middle schools as sports-focused students.
Wu hopes that the happy school memories will help graduates stay connected to their hometown and get ready for their future.
24. What inspired Wu to think of sports as a solution?
A. Rich sports resources. B. Requirements from teachers.
C. Students' lack of interest in study. D. Children's stress from examinations.
25. What does the underlined phrase "yield to" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Compare with. B. Give in to.
C. Contribute to. D. Take the place of.
26. Why does the author list the numbers in Paragraph 4?
A. To show progress in grades. B. To highlight influences of sports.
C. To stress the importance of study. D. To introduce types of sports activities.
27. Which can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Headmaster Transformed School With Sports B. A Unique Physical Education Class
C. Students Made Breakthroughs in Competition D. The Life Story of a Headmaster
C
Many news reports focus on climate change these days. Extreme heat, wildfires, floods, homeless polar bears... How do you feel when reading worrying news about climate change? You may believe that people are becoming insensitive to the warming planet, accepting that it is only getting worse.
A research team at Pennsylvania State University, US, reported otherwise. To record how the news can impact people’s emotions, participants were first exposed to negative news stories about climate change for three days. They then continued to read negative news headlines for seven days. In the first three days, the participants experienced greater fear and less hope, which can potentially hurt an audience’s belief that they can do anything to tackle the problem.
However, during the seven-day-long exposure, the fear peaked and then held steady (稳定的). “We saw the opposite pattern in our second study. The more exposure people had to these threatening news stories each day, the more likely they are to think that they can make a difference in tackling climate change,” Christofer Skurka, the paper’s lead author told the Pennsylvania State University website.
According to the researchers, one possibility is that when the public hears about climate change threats, they may convince themselves that they have control over the situation. They will then believe that their actions may make a difference.
Knowing that everyone is able to help is only the first step. According to a study that analyzed information from 430 different studies, what motivates people the most to change their behavior is social comparison. For example, if a person’s neighbors follow a low-carbon lifestyle, such as driving electric cars, the person may feel social pressure and become more likely to follow this behavior. This happens because people usually judge their own behavior and follow social norms (规范). Another effective motivation is providing financial rewards to consumers, helping them save money.
“There are so many routes to our goals,” Matthew Goldberg, the co-author of the study, told Scientific American. As Goldberg pointed out, future research like this can help policymakers decide how best to encourage people to ward more climate-friendly habits.
28. How did the participants react to negative news in the second study?
A. They found the news unbelievable.
B. They lost hope in tackling climate change.
C. They experienced greater fear for the future.
D. They felt a strong sense of social responsibility.
29 What encourages people most toward more climate-friendly behavior?
A. Effective policy. B. Healthy lifestyle.
C. Social influence. D. Financial support.
30. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. Responses to climate change education.
B. T he effectiveness of community initiatives.
C. T he impact of social norms on environment.
D. Ways to encourage climate-friendly behavior.
31. What is Goldberg’s attitude towards similar future research?
A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Objective. D. Indifferent.

Athletes of every sport prove it’s never too late to uncover your fitness potential. Whether you have big Olympic dreams or just want to finish a 5K run, here are science-backed tips on how to kickstart (and keep) an exercise routine.
Start an exercise routine that you’ll actually continue
This may sound like a no-brainer, but many people start off their fitness journey with a too-ambitious routine in the hopes of seeing quick results - only to give up after a few weeks. ___32___ If you like being in nature, plan a day bike or take up surfing. If you love dancing, try a Zumba class.
Give yourself a month
Commit to about four weeks of exercise. ___33___ One 2020 randomized (随机的) controlled trial, for example, found that people who were paid to exercise for 28 days were likely to continue exercising 10 months later. “___34___,” says Katy Milkman, a professor at the Wharton School of Business who worked on the study. “If you can get that repetition going while you have high motivation, you’re much more likely to have a behavior change that lasts.”
___35___
Exercise doesn’t have to leave you absolutely exhausted for it to count. Research shows that just a little bit counts in big ways. You can try mowing the lawn, taking your dog on a brisk walk or playing basketball with friends. Any kind of regular, moderate physical activity that gets your heart rate up will bring you benefits like better sleep, reduced anxiety and lower blood pressure.
Get a workout buddy
___36___ Teammates help you “hold yourself accountable,” says Dr. Mitesh Patel, a behavioral scientist. You’ll be less likely to break from your training plan if a gym buddy is counting on you to show up and put in the work with them.
A. Repetition is the key.
B. Engage in various exercises.
C Change your definition of “exercise”.
D So think about the kind of sport that makes you feel good.
E. According to research, this can help you build a new routine.

Jack was a high school freshman, tall and thin, with a heart full of dreams. Jack’s father was a repairman who spent his days fixing cars, so his hands were always dirty. Jack’s father never said much, but his eyes always seemed to say, “I’m proud of you, son.” And Jack felt it in every nod. Their relationship was a quiet one, with an unspoken bond (纽带).
One day, Jack came home from school with a flyer (传单) in his hand. His eyes were bright with excitement as he showed it to his father. “Dad, there’s a school talent show next month, and I want to enter. I’ve been learning guitar for months,” Jack said to his father.
His father looked up from the engine he was working on. “You play the guitar?” he asked in surprise. Feeling a little embarrassed, Jack nodded, saying, “Yeah, I’ve been taking lessons. I think I’m ready.” His father cleaned his hands with a piece of cloth, looked at Jack and smiled, “I’ll be there, son. I wouldn’t miss it.” Through his father’s eyes, Jack knew he had his father’s support.
The days leading up to the talent show were more practice and anxiety for Jack. He would come home after school and lock himself in his room, the sound of his guitar echoing (回响) through the house. His father didn’t speak too much, but he would prepare delicious food and smiled at Jack whenever he saw his son. He would also quietly listen to the music from the living room. Although Jack felt tired or nervous sometimes, he felt pushed forward by unspoken love.
The day of the talent show arrived, and the school hall was filled with excitement. Jack’s hands were shaking as he prepared his guitar backstage. He looked out into the audience and found his father with a broad smile on his face.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

He went back inside and found him safe, but very frightened. A woman said that her husband had just left for work. When SHE noticed that her house was shaking, SHE rushed outside immediately with her children. There was no time for her to take anything. A few minutes later, the roof came down.

With such a strong artistic heritage, it’s no surprise that England knocks it out of the park when it comes to world-class art galleries. These are the galleries you need to add to your must-visit list.
Royal Academy of Arts (RA), London
Not your standard gallery, the Royal Academy of Arts is led by artists to promote not just the appreciation of art, but its practice. It is world-famous for hosting some exhibitions that get everyone talking. Besides, what sets the RA apart is its engagement with the public through participatory (参与式的) experiences, allowing visitors to not only view art but become part of it in innovative ways.
Yorkshire Sculpture Park, West Yorkshire
Tearing up the rulebook when it comes to how we traditionally view art, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park tries to break down barriers by showing works from British and international artists in the open air. Set in hundreds of acres (of West Yorkshire parkland, you’ll see sculptures by some of the leading artists of the 20th century.
Whitworth, Manchester
After a sky-high £15 million development, the Whitworth is becoming one of the premier galleries in the north of England. Making full use of its picturesque park setting, the gallery has a beautiful art garden and a sculpture terrace (露天平台), all waiting to be explored. Inside the gallery, you can view an exciting programme of ever-changing exhibitions.
21. What is special about Royal Academy of Arts?
A. It occupies a vast space in the museum.

【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据Yorkshire Sculpture Park, West Yorkshire部分中“Tearing up the rulebook when it comes to how we traditionally view art, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park tries to break down barriers by showing works from British and international artists in the open air.(当谈到我们传统上如何看待艺术时,约克郡雕塑公园尝试打破规则,通过在露天展示英国和国际艺术家的作品,努力打破障碍)”和Whitworth, Manchester部分中“Making full use of its picturesque park setting, the gallery has a beautiful art garden and a sculpture terrace (露台), all waiting to be explored.(画廊充分利用其风景如画的公园环境,拥有一个美丽的艺术花园和一个雕塑露台, 所有这些都有待探索)”可知,约克郡雕塑公园和惠特沃斯画廊的共同之处在于它们都提供户外环境。故选D。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,并根据第一段“With such a strong artistic heritage, it’s no surprise that England knocks it out of the park when it comes to world-class art galleries. These are the galleries you need to add to your must-visit list.(拥有如此强大艺术遗产,英国在世界一流的艺术画廊中脱颖而出也就不足为奇了。这些是你需要添加到你的必游列表的画廊)”可知,这段文本很可能摘自一本旅行指南。故选A。
B
Wu Xiong, a 40-year-old headmaster, has spent 20 years turning a once-deserted rural school in the mountains into a center for sports and education.
In 2004, Wu became headmaster of Tangfang Primary School in Baling Town, Guizhou Province. At that time, the school was merely an old house, with 3 teachers and 75 students. Worse still, many children showed little interest in attending school. To address this issue, Wu had an idea: sports. In 2006, the school held its first sports meeting. “We carried a cement slab (水泥板) from 1.5 kilometers away and used wooden boards as a net for a table tennis competition,” Wu recalled.
With more money put into education, Tangfang Primary School got better facilities, but Wu still felt it necessary for students to participate in sporting activities. Now, basketball hoops (篮圈) are designed in three different sizes to suit students of different age groups, while sports equipment storage facilities are never locked up. Wu also makes it a rule that PE cannot yield to other subjects.
Now, students have at least 2.5 hours set aside every day for physical activities. Among the 469 students of the school, only six wear glasses. Meanwhile, by participating in various sports competitions, the students learn how to deal with wins and losses properly. According to a recent report, the school's average scores have risen from below 30 in 2004 to over 80 in 2023. Sports have offered the students another way out of the mountains. More than 100 graduates of the school have entered middle schools as sports-focused students.
Wu hopes that the happy school memories will help graduates stay connected to their hometown and get ready for their future.
24. What inspired Wu to think of sports as a solution?
A. Rich sports resources. B. Requirements from teachers.
C. Students' lack of interest in study. D. Children's stress from examinations.
25. What does the underlined phrase "yield to" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Compare with. B. Give in to.
C. Contribute to. D. Take the place of.
26. Why does the author list the numbers in Paragraph 4?
A. To show progress in grades. B. To highlight influences of sports.
C. To stress the importance of study. D. To introduce types of sports activities.
27. Which can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Headmaster Transformed School With Sports B. A Unique Physical Education Class
C. Students Made Breakthroughs in Competition D. The Life Story of a Headmaster
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. B 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕吴雄校长通过体育改变乡村学校的故事展开,重点描述了他如何利用体育提升学生的兴趣、健康和学业成绩。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“Worse still, many children showed little interest in attending school. To address this issue, Wu had an idea: sports.(更糟糕的是,许多孩子对上学没什么兴趣。为了解决这个问题,吴有了一个想法:体育)”可知,吴校长想到用体育来解决学生对学习缺乏兴趣的问题。故选C项。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文的句子“With more money put into education, Tangfang Primary School got better facilities, but Wu still felt it necessary for students to participate in sporting activities.(随着更多的资金投入到教育中,堂坊小学得到了更好的设施,但吴仍然认为学生参加体育活动是必要的)”和空格前的“Wu also makes it a rule that PE cannot(吴还规定体育课不能)”可知,因为吴校长认为学生参加体育活动是必要的,所以他肯定是规定体育课不能给其它科目让步,所以划线短语yield to的意义为“屈服;让步”,与give in to意义一致。故选B项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的内容“Now, students have at least 2.5 hours set aside every day for physical activities. Among the 469 students of the school, only six wear glasses. Meanwhile, by participating in various sports competitions, the students learn how to deal with wins and losses properly. According to a recent report, the school's average scores have risen from below 30 in 2004 to over 80 in 2023. Sports have offered the students another way out of the mountains. More than 100 graduates of the school have entered middle schools as sports-focused students.(现在,学生们每天至少有2.5小时的时间用于体育活动。在学校的469名学生中,只有6人戴眼镜。同时,通过参加各种体育比赛,学生们学会了如何正确处理输赢。根据最近的一份报告,该校的平均分数从2004年的不到30分上升到2023年的80多分。体育运动为学生们走出大山提供了另一条出路。该校100多名毕业生以体育学生的身份进入了中学)”可推知,这些数据列举了学生的近视率低、学业成绩提升和体育特长生的升学情况,旨在强调体育对学生发展的积极影响。故选B项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,特别是第一段“Wu Xiong, a 40-year-old headmaster, has spent 20 years turning a once-deserted rural school in the mountains into a center for sports and education.(40岁的校长吴雄花了20年时间,把一所曾经荒废的山区农村学校变成了一个体育和教育中心)”可知,全文围绕吴校长通过体育改变乡村学校的故事展开,重点描述了他如何利用体育提升学生的兴趣、健康和学业成绩。由此可知,A项“Headmaster Transformed School With Sports(校长用体育改变了学校)”作为本文的题目,与文章主题相符合。故选A项。
C
Many news reports focus on climate change these days. Extreme heat, wildfires, floods, homeless polar bears... How do you feel when reading worrying news about climate change? You may believe that people are becoming insensitive to the warming planet, accepting that it is only getting worse.
A research team at Pennsylvania State University, US, reported otherwise. To record how the news can impact people’s emotions, participants were first exposed to negative news stories about climate change for three days. They then continued to read negative news headlines for seven days. In the first three days, the participants experienced greater fear and less hope, which can potentially hurt an audience’s belief that they can do anything to tackle the problem.
However, during the seven-day-long exposure, the fear peaked and then held steady (稳定的). “We saw the opposite pattern in our second study. The more exposure people had to these threatening news stories each day, the more likely they are to think that they can make a difference in tackling climate change,” Christofer Skurka, the paper’s lead author told the Pennsylvania State University website.
According to the researchers, one possibility is that when the public hears about climate change threats, they may convince themselves that they have control over the situation. They will then believe that their actions may make a difference.
Knowing that everyone is able to help is only the first step. According to a study that analyzed information from 430 different studies, what motivates people the most to change their behavior is social comparison. For example, if a person’s neighbors follow a low-carbon lifestyle, such as driving electric cars, the person may feel social pressure and become more likely to follow this behavior. This happens because people usually judge their own behavior and follow social norms (规范). Another effective motivation is providing financial rewards to consumers, helping them save money.
“There are so many routes to our goals,” Matthew Goldberg, the co-author of the study, told Scientific American. As Goldberg pointed out, future research like this can help policymakers decide how best to encourage people to ward more climate-friendly habits.
28. How did the participants react to negative news in the second study?
A. They found the news unbelievable.
B. They lost hope in tackling climate change.
C. They experienced greater fear for the future.
D. They felt a strong sense of social responsibility.
29. What encourages people most toward more climate-friendly behavior?
A. Effective policy. B. Healthy lifestyle.
C. Social influence. D. Financial support.
30. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. Responses to climate change education.
B. T he effectiveness of community initiatives.
C. T he impact of social norms on environment.
D. Ways to encourage climate-friendly behavior.
31. What is Goldberg’s attitude towards similar future research?
A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Objective. D. Indifferent.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了公众读到气候变化威胁的负面新闻的反应,并介绍了鼓励气候友好型行为的方法。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“We saw the opposite pattern in our second study. The more exposure people had to these threatening news stories each day, the more likely they are to think that they can make a difference in tackling climate change,(我们在第二项研究中看到了相反的模式。人们每天接触这些威胁性新闻的次数越多,他们就越有可能认为自己可以在应对气候变化方面有所作为)”可知,在第二项研究中,参与者面对负面新闻,认为自己可以在应对气候变化方面有所作为,即他们感受到强烈的社会责任感。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“According to the researchers, one possibility is that when the public hears about climate change threats, they may convince themselves that they have control over the situation. They will then believe that their actions may make a difference.(根据研究人员的说法,一种可能性是,当公众听到气候变化威胁时,他们可能会说服自己,他们可以控制局势。然后,他们会相信自己的行动可能会有所不同)”以及第五段“According to a study that analyzed information from 430 different studies, what motivates people the most to change their behavior is social comparison.(根据一项分析430项不同研究信息的研究,最能激励人们改变他们行为的是社会比较)”可知,人们可能会说服自己采取环保的行为,最能激励人们改变自己行为的是社会比较,即社会影响。故选C。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“Knowing that everyone is able to help is only the first step. According to a study that analyzed information from 430 different studies, what motivates people the most to change their behavior is social comparison. For example, if a person’s neighbors follow a low-carbon lifestyle, such as driving electric cars, the person may feel social pressure and become more likely to follow this behavior. This happens because people usually judge their own behavior and follow social norms (规范). Another effective motivation is providing financial rewards to consumers, helping them save money. (知道每个人都有能力提供帮助只是第一步。根据一项分析430项不同研究信息的研究,最能激励人们改变行为的是社会比较。例如,如果一个人的邻居遵循低碳生活方式,例如驾驶电动汽车,该人可能会感到社会压力,并更有可能遵循这种行为。之所以会发生这种情况,是因为人们通常会评判自己的行为并遵循社会规范。另一个有效的动机是向消费者提供经济奖励,帮助他们省钱)”可知,本段主要介绍了鼓励人们采取环保行为的方法,即鼓励气候友好型行为的方法。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““There are so many routes to our goals,” Matthew Goldberg, the co-author of the study, told Scientific American. As Goldberg pointed out, future research like this can help policymakers decide how best to encourage people to ward more climate-friendly habits.(该研究的合著者马修·戈德堡告诉《科学美国人》杂志:“实现我们的目标有很多途径。正如戈德堡指出的那样,未来的研究可以帮助政策制定者决定如何最好地鼓励人们养成更有利于气候的习惯。”)”可知,对类似的未来研究持有乐观的态度。故选B。

Athletes of every sport prove it’s never too late to uncover your fitness potential. Whether you have big Olympic dreams or just want to finish a 5K run, here are science-backed tips on how to kickstart (and keep) an exercise routine.
Start an exercise routine that you’ll actually continue
This may sound like a no-brainer, but many people start off their fitness journey with a too-ambitious routine in the hopes of seeing quick results - only to give up after a few weeks. ___32___ If you like being in nature, plan a day bike or take up surfing. If you love dancing, try a Zumba class.
Give yourself a month
Commit to about four weeks of exercise. ___33___ One 2020 randomized (随机的) controlled trial, for example, found that people who were paid to exercise for 28 days were likely to continue exercising 10 months later. “___34___,” says Katy Milkman, a professor at the Wharton School of Business who worked on the study. “If you can get that repetition going while you have high motivation, you’re much more likely to have a behavior change that lasts.”
___35___
Exercise doesn’t have to leave you absolutely exhausted for it to count. Research shows that just a little bit counts in big ways. You can try mowing the lawn, taking your dog on a brisk walk or playing basketball with friends.

(这听起来似乎是显而易见的,但许多人在开始他们的健身之旅时,都有一个雄心勃勃的计划,希望能很快看到效果,结果几周后就放弃了。)”提到很多人因为开始时的健身计划过于雄心勃勃,希望快速看到效果,结果只坚持了几周就放弃了。D选项“So think about the kind of sport that makes you feel good.(所以想想哪种运动能让你感觉良好。)”提出了一个建议,即选择让自己感觉良好的运动,这与前文形成转折,并为下文提到的根据兴趣选择运动方式做了铺垫。因此,D选项符合语境,能够承上启下。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国政府治理沙漠化所做出的努力。
【52题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:同样让我们惊讶的是,它的周长约为3046公里,是中国最大的沙漠。分析句子可知,设空处引导主语从句,从句中缺少主语,表示“……的事情”,所以用连接代词“What”引导主语从句,位于句首,首字母大写。故填What。
【53题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:同样让我们惊讶的是,它的周长约为3046公里,是中国最大的沙漠。根据“in China”可知,这里是在中国范围内进行比较,且前面有定冠词“the”,所以用“large”的最高级形式“largest”,表示“最大的”。故填largest。
【54题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:用了40多年的时间,塔克拉玛干才被绿化带完全包围。“It takes + 时间 + to do sth.”是固定句型,意为“做某事花费多长时间”,所以这里用动词不定式 “to surround”。故填to surround。
【55题详解】
考查冠词。句意:塔克拉玛干沙漠治理工程是1978年启动的三北防护林工程(TSFP)的一部分,其目的是应对荒漠化。“a part of...”表示“……的一部分”,是固定搭配,这里表示塔克拉玛干沙漠治理项目是“三北防护林工程”的一部分。故填a。
【56题详解】
考查代词。句意:中国在沙漠化问题上交出了自己的答卷。这里需要一个形容词性物主代词来修饰名词“answer sheet”,“it”的形容词性物主代词是“its”,表示“它的”。故填its。
【57题详解】
考查连词。句意:据国家林业和草原局统计,全国累计保护沙化土地3580多万公顷,有效恢复沙化土地780多万公顷。根据句意可知,前后两个句子是并列关系,都在阐述中国在治理沙漠化方面取得的成果,所以用连词“and”连接。故填and。
【58题详解】
考查副词。句意:据国家林业和草原局统计,全国累计保护沙化土地3580多万公顷,有效恢复沙化土地780多万公顷。由副词修饰动词可知,这里需要一个副词来修饰动词 “restored”,“effective”的副词形式是“effectively”,表示“有效地”。故填effectively。
【59题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:森林覆盖率由12.41%提高到13.84%。“from...to...”是固定短语,意为“从……到……”,这里表示“三北防护林工程”地区的森林覆盖率从12.41%增长到 13.84%。故填to。
【60题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:近10年来,中国北方春季严重沙尘天气发生频率明显下降。根据时间状语“In the past 10 years”(在过去的10 年里),这是一个从过去持续到现在的时间段,常与现在完成时连用。现在完成时的结构是“have/has +过去分词”,句子主语 “the frequency of severe dusty weather in spring in northern China”(中国北方春季严重沙尘天气的频率)是第三人称单数,所以助动词用“has”,“drop”的过去分词是“dropped”。故填has dropped。
【61题详解】
考查动名词。句意:中国在全球率先实现了土地退化“零增长”、荒漠化和沙化土地“双减”。分析句子可知,空前“in”是介词,介词后接动词时,要用动词的动名词形式,所以这里用“achieving”。故填achieving。

第一节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
英汉互译,翻译下列句子。
62. To reach the goal of change, we must show some discipline and take action immediately.(英译汉)
________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】为了达到改变的目标,我们必须表现出一些纪律/自律并立刻采取行动。
【解析】
【详解】考查名词、动词、副词和非谓语动词。本句是一个简单句,陈述客观观点,时态为一般现在时。To reach the goal of change是目的状语,表示“为了达到改变的目标”;主语we译为“我们”,谓语动词是must show和take,must show表示“必须表现出”,some discipline是show的宾语,译为“一些纪律/自律”,take action表示“必须采取行动”,immediately是副词,修饰take action,译为“立刻”。故本句可译为:为了达到改变的目标,我们必须表现出一些纪律/自律并立刻采取行动。
63. As a result, painters concentrated less on religious themes, instead, they adopted a more humanistic attitude to life. (英译汉)
_______________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】因此,画家们较少关注宗教主题,相反,他们对生活采取了更人性化的态度。
【解析】
【详解】考查介词短语、并列句和固定搭配。介词短语As a result作状语,译为“因此”;前半句基本结构为主谓宾句型,主语painters译为“画家们”,谓语concentrated使用了一般过去时态,固定搭配concentrate on意为“关注”,less修饰谓语表程度,译为“较少”,宾语religious themes译为“宗教主题”;后半句主语they译为“他们”,谓语adopted使用了一般过去时态,译为“采取”,宾语a more humanistic attitude译为“更人性化的态度”,介词短语to life作后置定语修饰attitude,译为“对生活”。故翻译为:因此,画家们较少关注宗教主题,相反,他们对生活采取了更人性化的态度。
64. 许多措施已经被采取来解决这个问题,这对环境保护有积极的影响。(have/has been done, address)(汉译英)
_______________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】A number of measures have been taken to address the issue, which has a positive effect on the environmental conservation.
【解析】
【详解】考查被动语态、动词及短语。 表示“许多措施已经被采取”用现在完成时的被动语态have been done结构,“许多措施”是a number of measures,为复数可数名词,“采取措施”对应take measures,故组合为a number of measures have been taken;表示“来解决这个问题”用动词address和名词issue,且用不定式形式to address the issue作目的状语;表示“这对环境保护有积极的影响”用非限定性定语从句which has a positive effect on environmental conservation,其中which指代前文内容,“对……有积极影响”为固定搭配have a positive effect on,“环境保护”是environmental conservation。故翻译为A number of measures have been taken to address the issue, which has a positive effect on the environmental conservation.
65. 我意识到调整生活方式非常重要,所以我决定控制自己的生活。(it’s+adj.+to do, take control of) (汉译英)
______________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I realised that it was very important to adjust my lifestyle, so I decided to take control of my life.
【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句、固定句型、时态和固定短语。表示“我”用I,作主语;表示“意识到”用realise,描述过去发生的事情,时态用一般过去时,谓语用过去式realised;表示“调整生活方式非常重要”用that引导的宾语从句,从句中表示“做某事是……的”用固定句型it’s+adj.+to do,其中it作形式主语,动词不定式作真正的主语;表示“非常重要”用very important,作表语;表示“调整我的生活方式”用adjust my lifestyle,用不定式,做真正的主语;从句不缺少成分或含义,用that引导。表示“所以”用so;so后的句子主语用I,表示“决定做某事”用decide to do sth.,谓语用decided;表示“控制我的生活”用take control of my life,用不定式,作宾语。故翻译为I realised that it was very important to adjust my lifestyle, so I decided to take control of my life.
66. 这些作品旨在传播佛教,它们具有非凡的美感和品质。(Buddhism,exceptional,be of +n.)(汉译英)
______________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】These works were intended to spread Buddhism and they are of exceptional beauty and quality.
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态和语态、固定短语。表示“这些作品”为these works作主语,位于句首单词首字母需大写,表示“旨在做某事”可译为be intended to do sth.,此处描述的是过去发生的动作,所以使用一般过去时,主语为名词复数,所以be动词为were,表示“传播佛教”为spread Buddhism,所以“这些作品旨在传播佛教”可译为These works were intended to spread Buddhism;表示“它们”为they作主语,表示“具有非凡的美感和品质”使用“be of +n.”结构,描述主语的特征,可译为“of exceptional beauty and quality”,此处强调作品当前仍具有的特质,所以使用一般现在时,主语为复数,所以be动词为are,前后句为并列关系,所以使用并列连词and连接。故翻译为These works were intended to spread Buddhism and they are of exceptional beauty and quality.

【答案】
Dear fellow students,
As the president of the School Environmental Protection Association, I am writing to advocate for the construction of a low-carbon campus.
A low-carbon campus is of great significance. Firstly, it helps to reduce our carbon footprint, which is crucial for combating global warming. Secondly, it can create a more sustainable and eco-friendly environment for our study and life.
So, how can we, as individuals, contribute to building a low-carbon campus? First of all, we should save energy. For example, turn off the lights and fans when leaving the classroom. Also, we can reduce waste by recycling paper, plastic bottles and other recyclable materials. What’s more, we should choose to walk or ride a bike instead of taking a car for short-distance trips on campus.
In addition, we can plant more trees and flowers to beautify our campus and improve the air quality.
I sincerely hope that every student can take action and contribute to building a low-carbon campus. Let’s start from ourselves, start from the little things around us, and jointly create a more beautiful and sustainable campus environment.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

68. 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。
Jack was a high school freshman, tall and thin, with a heart full of dreams. Jack’s father was a repairman who spent his days fixing cars, so his hands were always dirty. Jack’s father never said much, but his eyes always seemed to say, “I’m proud of you, son.” And Jack felt it in every nod. Their relationship was a quiet one, with an unspoken bond (纽带).
One day, Jack came home from school with a flyer (传单) in his hand. His eyes were bright with excitement as he showed it to his father. “Dad, there’s a school talent show next month, and I want to enter. I’ve been learning guitar for months,” Jack said to his father.
His father looked up from the engine he was working on. “You play the guitar?” he asked in surprise. Feeling a little embarrassed, Jack nodded, saying, “Yeah, I’ve been taking lessons. I think I’m ready.” His father cleaned his hands with a piece of cloth, looked at Jack and smiled, “I’ll be there, son. I wouldn’t miss it.” Through his father’s eyes, Jack knew he had his father’s support.
The days leading up to the talent show were more practice and anxiety for Jack. He would come home after school and lock himself in his room, the sound of his guitar echoing (回响) through the house. His father didn’t speak too much, but he would prepare delicious food and smiled at Jack whenever he saw his son. He would also quietly listen to the music from the living room. Although Jack felt tired or nervous sometimes, he felt pushed forward by unspoken love.
The day of the talent show arrived, and the school hall was filled with excitement. Jack’s hands were shaking as he prepared his guitar backstage. He looked out into the audience and found his father with a broad smile on his face.

【答案】As Jack stepped onto the stage the lights dimmed (变暗) and the audience quieted down. Jack took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves. He looked out at the sea of faces, his eyes landing on his father. With a final adjustment of his guitar, he began to play. His fingers danced across the strings, and the music filled the hall. At first, there was a slight tremble in his playing, but as he got lost in the melody, his confidence grew. The audience sat spellbound, and by the end of the performance, the hall erupted into thunderous applause. Jack felt a huge sense of relief and pride wash over him.
“I didn’t know you could play like that,” his father said. “You were great.” A big smile spread across Jack’s face. “Thanks, Dad. I couldn’t have done it without your support.” His father put his arm around Jack’s shoulders. “I always knew you had it in you, son. I’m so proud of you.” Jack realized that his father’s quiet presence and unspoken love had been the driving force behind his success. From that day on, their unspoken bond grew even stronger, and Jack knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, his father would always be there, silently cheering him on.
