Michael and his wife had just moved into a new San Francisco apartment when they met their neighbor, 77-year-old Hindu priest Jeff Dunan. Dunan told them about Bangladesh Relief, an organization he volunteers for that provides food, clothing and essential supplies to poor people in northern Bangladesh. Michael decided to donate $150 to Dunan’s GoFundMe campaign.
Shortly after donating, he received a credit card company notification warning of an unusually large transaction (交易) — a $15,041 charge from GoFundMe. Seeing the five-figure amount, he was bewildered. The mystery quickly cleared up: his credit card number starts with 4 and 1, and he had accidentally typed the first two numbers of his card while his cursor (光标) was still in the donation box.
Michael contacted GoFundMe support and explained the mistake, relieved to learn he would get a refund (退款) within 3-7 business days. However, the $15,000 donation — more than doubling the campaign’s total at the time — would remain on the page during processing. Before he could call Dunan to explain, he received Facebook messages from Shohag Chandra, the charity’s Bangladesh-based program manager, thanking him for the generous gift, along with photos of poor Bangladeshis holding thank-you signs with his name.
Moved and guilty about canceling the large donation, Michael decided to give $1,500 after getting his refund. When Dunan mentioned the organization’s desperate need for funds, he shared his typo (打字错误) story on social media to inspire others.
To his surprise, the story went viral. In just a few weeks, it raised over $120,000 for Bangladesh Relief — eight times Michael’s accidental donation — with more than 3,700 people contributing. “Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine this reaction,” Michael said. “People can be amazing when they come together for something like this.”
4. Which of the following can replace the underlined word in Paragraph 2?
A. in confusion B. full of fear C. filled with joy D. in a calm mood
5. Why did Michael decide to donate more?
A. His story spread rapidly and widely.
B. GoFundMe refused to give him a refund.
C. He felt sorry for canceling the large donation.
D. Dunan showed him Bangladeshis’ desperate need.
6. Which group of words can best describe Michael?
A. Kind and responsible. B. Careless and selfish.
C. Rich and intelligent. D. Shy and impatient.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Let’s Donate Money to GoFundMe B. A Typo sparks a Wave of Generosity
C. A Charity Helping Poor Bangladeshis D. Michael’s Unhappy donation Experience
C
I could count on one hand the number of times I ordered takeout or delivery before my daily routine changed dramatically. Food critics (美食家) tend to eat away from home a lot — in my case, ten or so meals a week.
What a difference that change has made. Since adjusting my daily rhythm several months ago, I’ve ordered more takeout than ever before. Want to see my trash bin?
This summer, I saved packaging from around 30 orders for three weeks. The pile of paper, plastic, aluminum (铝) and glass shocked me — it filled two recycling containers, leaving me overcome with guilt.
My friends, my problem is our problem. National Geographic last year revealed a troubling fact: the U.S. uses over 36 billion disposable utensils (一次性餐具) yearly, enough to go around Earth 139 times. Market research company NPD Group reports a 127 percent increase in digital orders compared to the same time last year.
These takeout containers and utensils are now an inescapable personal responsibility. “Disposable products are convenient but inefficient,” says Matt Prindiville, CEO of Upstream, a nonprofit aiming to end single-use culture. “Disposable utensils bring you convenience and are inexpensive, but they cost whales and sea lions dear,” he says, referring to plastic and other materials that have hurt ocean life.
Nearly 80% of all plastic ever made ends up in landfills, littered across landscapes or floating in seas, as Bloomberg reported — most plastic doesn’t biodegrade (生物降解).
The solution? Abandon disposable utensils and use your own when ordering takeout. Some restaurants are leading the way: Rose’s at Home in Washington replaced cardboard boxes with reusable nylon bags, urging customers to reuse or recycle. Jaleo serves paella in metal pans, offering $10 off next orders for returns.
Restaurants focusing on eco-friendly packaging deserve our support. It’s time we all took action to reduce takeout waste.
8. What do the numbers in Paragraph 4 indicate?
A. Global takeout orders are rising fast. B. NPD Group has accurate research data.
C. Americans prefer takeout to home cooking. D. Disposable utensils are overused in the U.S.
9. What can we learn about disposable utensils according to Matt Prindiville?
A. They can be easily biodegraded. B. They are more efficient than reusable ones.
C. They are cheap and environmentally friendly. D. They harm ocean creatures despite convenience.
10. How does the author present the solution?
A. By giving examples. B. By quoting explanations.
C By making a comparison. D. By showing a research result.
11. What’s the writing purpose of this passage?
A. To share personal takeout experiences. B. To explain the harm of plastic products.
C To call on people to reduce takeout waste. D. To criticize restaurants’ packaging choices.
D
Astronomers have examined the stars that a new space telescope might target, to prepare for one of the most advanced searches for life on other planets. Early on, they discovered which star systems might be more suitable to hunt for potential life.
In the 2040s, NASA plans to launch the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO), which will be the first telescope designed specifically to search for signs of life on planets orbiting other stars. To achieve this aim, the HWO will take pictures of about 25 Earth-like planets in the habitable zones of sun-like stars — where water and even life could exist. Before building the HWO, scientists have been working on significant challenges it will face.
One of those is choosing stars within around 100 light years from Earth that the telescope might target. Caleb Harada at the University of California, Berkeley, and his team analyzed 164 potential stars to evaluate their relevant characteristics accurately. These stars could become some of the most studied stars ever.
Harada and his team discovered that 102 of the stars are binaries (双子星), which could make the search for life more complex. The HWO telescope will use a tool to block (挡住) the stars’ light to attempt to image planets in orbit and study the gases in their atmospheres. “If binaries are too close together, the light from the unblocked star will be so bright that it’ll cover up the planets and make them hard to see, making planet detection (探测) around binary stars more difficult,” explains Bruce Macintosh from the University of California Observatories.
Out of all the stars, 33 have dust rings that could make it hard to see planets clearly. “This makes exploring harder,” says Harada. “Some stars sometimes burst into bright flames, like our sun’s flares (太阳耀斑), which aren’t always deadly. Nevertheless, we need to check closely that they’re not too strong, because these can affect life and the living conditions where life formation can happen.”
12. Why is the HWO designed?
A. To examine sun-like stars. B. To take pictures of planets.
C. To recognize planets orbiting stars. D. To look for life signs on some planets.
13. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Challenges. B. Scientists. C. Planets. D. Signs.
14. What makes planet detection around binary stars hard?
A. The tool used by HWO telescope. B. The huge number of binary stars.
C. The brightness of unblocked stars. D. The gases in planets’ atmospheres.
15. What factor might prevent the formation of life according to the last paragraph?
A. Space exploration. B. Stars’ strong bursts.
C. Frequent solar flares. D. Dust rings on planets.

第二节(满分20分)
Diane Ray was completely self-centered and very spoilt (宠坏的). Her parents gave her everything that she wanted, knowing that she would throw a tantrum (发脾气) if they did not satisfy her desire.
That was why she was alone on the beach, wearing an expensive swimsuit, which was got by another big tantrum. Her parents were back at the beach house, recovering from the tantrum she had thrown, after they had told her that it was too dangerous to go swimming alone. “Dangerous?” she said. “You just don’t want me to have fun. I’m going and if you try to stop me, I’ll scream.”
“What are you doing?” a voice asked. Diane jumped and looked around. She did not know that the man was here until he spoke.
“I’m going to swim,” she answered coldly.
“You shouldn’t swim today,” the man advised. “There is a storm coming up.”
“You should mind your own business” Diane replied and walked into the gentle waves.
“If you go out there you’ll be sorry,” the man called after her. But she did not want to reply.
Diane slipped (滑) into the water and swam happily until white waves began rolling in and it became harder to swim against the current (水流). Sea water kept hitting her face, making it more and more difficult to breathe.
Frightened, she began to cry. Hot tears mixed with the cold sea on her cheeks, not the loud sobs she used to get her way, but quiet whimpers that got lost in the roar of the waves. She thought of her parents’ worried faces and their warnings. Unknowingly, a sharp, terrible regret twisted in her stomach. And she felt she would slip beneath the surface and be pulled under the current.
Then, she heard a calm voice, “Hold on! I’m coming.” With relief, she saw the man rowing a boat towards her. “I hope you’ve learned a lesson. You put us both in danger,” he shouted angrily as he dragged her into the boat. Diane thanked him gratefully and ran towards the beach house.
After Diane closed her bedroom’s door, she was lost in thought.

Michael and his wife had just moved into a new San Francisco apartment when they met their neighbor, 77-year-old Hindu priest Jeff Dunan. Dunan told them about Bangladesh Relief, an organization he volunteers for that provides food, clothing and essential supplies to poor people in northern Bangladesh. Michael decided to donate $150 to Dunan’s GoFundMe campaign.
Shortly after donating, he received a credit card company notification warning of an unusually large transaction (交易) — a $15,041 charge from GoFundMe. Seeing the five-figure amount, he was bewildered. The mystery quickly cleared up: his credit card number starts with 4 and 1, and he had accidentally typed the first two numbers of his card while his cursor (光标) was still in the donation box.
Michael contacted GoFundMe support and explained the mistake, relieved to learn he would get a refund (退款) within 3-7 business days. However, the $15,000 donation — more than doubling the campaign’s total at the time — would remain on the page during processing. Before he could call Dunan to explain, he received Facebook messages from Shohag Chandra, the charity’s Bangladesh-based program manager, thanking him for the generous gift, along with photos of poor Bangladeshis holding thank-you signs with his name.
Moved and guilty about canceling the large donation, Michael decided to give $1,500 after getting his refund. When Dunan mentioned the organization’s desperate need for funds, he shared his typo (打字错误) story on social media to inspire others.
To his surprise, the story went viral. In just a few weeks, it raised over $120,000 for Bangladesh Relief — eight times Michael’s accidental donation — with more than 3,700 people contributing. “Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine this reaction,” Michael said. “People can be amazing when they come together for something like this.”
4. Which of the following can replace the underlined word in Paragraph 2?
A. in confusion B. full of fear C. filled with joy D. in a calm mood
5. Why did Michael decide to donate more?
A. His story spread rapidly and widely.
B. GoFundMe refused to give him a refund.
C. He felt sorry for canceling the large donation.
D. Dunan showed him Bangladeshis’ desperate need.
6. Which group of words can best describe Michael?

C. Rich and intelligent. D. Shy and impatient.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Let’s Donate Money to GoFundMe B. A Typo sparks a Wave of Generosity
C. A Charity Helping Poor Bangladeshis D. Michael’s Unhappy donation Experience
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了迈克尔因打字错误多捐款,后分享故事引发众人慷慨解囊的事。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Michael decided to donate $150 to Dunan’s GoFundMe campaign. (迈克尔决定向杜南的GoFundMe活动捐赠150美元)”以及第二段“Shortly after donating, he received a credit card company notification warning of an unusually large transaction (交易) — a $15,041 charge from GoFundMe. Seeing the five-figure amount, he was bewildered. (捐赠后不久,他收到了一家信用卡公司的通知,警告他有一笔异常大的交易——GoFundMe收取了15041美元的费用。看到五位数的金额,他感到bewildered)”可知,迈克尔原本打算捐赠150美元,但是信用卡公司警告他被收取了15041美元,推测他看到五位数的金额时,会感到困惑,划线单词表示“困惑不解的”,与in confusion意义相近。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Moved and guilty about canceling the large donation, Michael decided to give $1,500 after getting his refund. (迈克尔对取消大额捐款感到既感动又内疚,决定在收到退款后捐出1500美元)”可知,迈克尔对取消大额捐款感到既感动又内疚,所以决定在收到退款后捐出1500美元。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Michael contacted GoFundMe support and explained the mistake, relieved to learn he would get a refund (退款) within 3-7 business days. (迈克尔联系了GoFundMe的支持团队并解释了错误,得知他将在3-7个工作日内收到退款,他松了一口气)”可知,迈克尔是一个有责任感的人,并根据第四段“Moved and guilty about canceling the large donation, Michael decided to give $1,500 after getting his refund. (迈克尔对取消大额捐款感到既感动又内疚,决定在收到退款后捐出1500美元)”可知,迈克尔是一个善良的人,所以“善良且有责任感”最能描述迈克尔。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,尤其是最后一段“To his surprise, the story went viral. In just a few weeks, it raised over $120,000 for Bangladesh Relief — eight times Michael’s accidental donation — with more than 3,700 people contributing. (令他惊讶的是,这个故事迅速传播开来。在短短几周内,它为孟加拉国救济组织筹集了超过12万美元,是迈克尔意外捐款的八倍,有3700多人捐款)”可知,文章主要介绍了迈克尔因打字错误多捐款,后分享故事引发众人慷慨解囊的事,所以“A Typo sparks a Wave of Generosity (一个打字错误引发了一波慷慨解囊)”适合作为文章标题。故选B。
C
I could count on one hand the number of times I ordered takeout or delivery before my daily routine changed dramatically. Food critics (美食家) tend to eat away from home a lot — in my case, ten or so meals a week.
What a difference that change has made. Since adjusting my daily rhythm several months ago, I’ve ordered more takeout than ever before. Want to see my trash bin?
This summer I saved packaging from around 30 orders for three weeks. The pile of paper, plastic, aluminum (铝) and glass shocked me — it filled two recycling containers, leaving me overcome with guilt.
My friends, my problem is our problem. National Geographic last year revealed a troubling fact: the U.S. uses over 36 billion disposable utensils (一次性餐具) yearly, enough to go around Earth 139 times. Market research company NPD Group reports a 127 percent increase in digital orders compared to the same time last year.
These takeout containers and utensils are now an inescapable personal responsibility. “Disposable products are convenient but inefficient,” says Matt Prindiville, CEO of Upstream, a nonprofit aiming to end single-use culture. “Disposable utensils bring you convenience and are inexpensive, but they cost whales and sea lions dear,” he says, referring to plastic and other materials that have hurt ocean life.
Nearly 80% of all plastic ever made ends up in landfills, littered across landscapes or floating in seas, as Bloomberg reported — most plastic doesn’t biodegrade (生物降解).
The solution? Abandon disposable utensils and use your own when ordering takeout. Some restaurants are leading the way: Rose’s at Home in Washington replaced cardboard boxes with reusable nylon bags, urging customers to reuse or recycle. Jaleo serves paella in metal pans, offering $10 off next orders for returns.
Restaurants focusing on eco-friendly packaging deserve our support. It’s time we all took action to reduce takeout waste.
8. What do the numbers in Paragraph 4 indicate?
A. Global takeout orders are rising fast. B. NPD Group has accurate research data.
C. Americans prefer takeout to home cooking. D. Disposable utensils are overused in the U.S.
9. What can we learn about disposable utensils according to Matt Prindiville?
A. They can be easily biodegraded. B. They are more efficient than reusable ones.
C. They are cheap and environmentally friendly. D. They harm ocean creatures despite convenience.
10. How does the author present the solution?
A. By giving examples. B. By quoting explanations.
C. By making a comparison. D. By showing a research result.
11. What’s the writing purpose of this passage?
A. To share personal takeout experiences. B. To explain the harm of plastic products.
C. To call on people to reduce takeout waste. D. To criticize restaurants’ packaging choices.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了作者因点外卖产生大量包装垃圾心生愧疚,指出美国一次性餐具滥用、塑料难降解且危害海洋生物,举例环保餐厅做法,呼吁大家减少外卖垃圾。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“My friends, my problem is our problem. National Geographic last year revealed a troubling fact: the U.S. uses over 36 billion disposable utensils (一次性餐具) yearly, enough to go around Earth 139 times. Market research company NPD Group reports a 127 percent increase in digital orders compared to the same time last year.(朋友们,我的问题也是我们大家的问题。去年,《国家地理》杂志披露了一个令人担忧的事实:美国每年使用超过360亿个一次性餐具,数量之多足以环绕地球139圈。市场研究公司NPD集团报告称,与去年同期相比,数字订单增长了127%)”可知,数字核心说明美国一次性餐具的使用量极大,被过度使用。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Disposable utensils bring you convenience and are inexpensive, but they cost whales and sea lions dear(一次性餐具给你带来了便利,价格也较为低廉,但它们却让鲸鱼和海狮付出了沉重的代价)”可知,一次性餐具虽然方便、便宜,但会伤害鲸鱼、海狮等海洋生物。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The solution? Abandon disposable utensils and use your own when ordering takeout. Some restaurants are leading the way: Rose’s at Home in Washington replaced cardboard boxes with reusable nylon bags, urging customers to reuse or recycle. Jaleo serves paella in metal pans, offering $10 off next orders for returns.(解决办法是什么呢?放弃一次性餐具,点外卖时自带餐具就好。一些餐厅已经走在了前列:华盛顿的“罗斯在家”餐厅用可重复使用的尼龙袋取代了纸板箱,并鼓励顾客重复使用或回收利用。贾莱奥餐厅用金属锅供应海鲜饭,顾客下次点餐可享受10美元的优惠并要求返还使用过的锅具)”可知,作者是通过举例的方式呈现解决方案的。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Restaurants focusing on eco-friendly packaging deserve our support. It’s time we all took action to reduce takeout waste.(那些致力于使用环保包装的餐厅值得我们支持。现在是时候我们都采取行动来减少外卖垃圾了)”结合文章从个人外卖包装浪费的经历切入,介绍了美国一次性餐具过度使用的现状、危害,最后给出解决办法,可知,写作目的是号召人们减少外卖垃圾。故选C。
D
Astronomers have examined the stars that a new space telescope might target, to prepare for one of the most advanced searches for life on other planets. Early on, they discovered which star systems might be more suitable to hunt for potential life.
In the 2040s, NASA plans to launch the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO), which will be the first telescope designed specifically to search for signs of life on planets orbiting other stars. To achieve this aim, the HWO will take pictures of about 25 Earth-like planets in the habitable zones of sun-like stars — where water and even life could exist. Before building the HWO, scientists have been working on significant challenges it will face.
One of those is choosing stars within around 100 light years from Earth that the telescope might target. Caleb Harada at the University of California, Berkeley, and his team analyzed 164 potential stars to evaluate their relevant characteristics accurately. These stars could become some of the most studied stars ever.
Harada and his team discovered that 102 of the stars are binaries (双子星), which could make the search for life more complex. The HWO telescope will use a tool to block (挡住) the stars’ light to attempt to image planets in orbit and study the gases in their atmospheres. “If binaries are too close together, the light from the unblocked star will be so bright that it’ll cover up the planets and make them hard to see, making planet detection (探测) around binary stars more difficult,” explains Bruce Macintosh from the University of California Observatories.
Out of all the stars, 33 have dust rings that could make it hard to see planets clearly. “This makes exploring harder,” says Harada. “Some stars sometimes burst into bright flames, like our sun’s flares (太阳耀斑), which aren’t always deadly. Nevertheless, we need to check closely that they’re not too strong, because these can affect life and the living conditions where life formation can happen.”
12. Why is the HWO designed?
A. To examine sun-like stars. B. To take pictures of planets.
C. To recognize planets orbiting stars. D. To look for life signs on some planets.
13. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Challenges. B. Scientists. C. Planets. D. Signs.
14. What makes planet detection around binary stars hard?
A. The tool used by HWO telescope. B. The huge number of binary stars.
C. The brightness of unblocked stars. D. The gases in planets’ atmospheres.
15. What factor might prevent the formation of life according to the last paragraph?
A. Space exploration. B. Stars’ strong bursts.
C Frequent solar flares. D. Dust rings on planets.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。天文学家为NASA计划于2040年代发射、专门探寻系外行星生命迹象的HWO望远镜,筛选目标恒星,发现双子星、尘埃环、恒星强爆发等会增加探测和生命存在的难度。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In the 2040s, NASA plans to launch the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO), which will be the first telescope designed specifically to search for signs of life on planets orbiting other stars.(在21世纪40年代,美国国家航空航天局(NASA)计划发射“宜居星球观测站”(HWO),这将是第一台专门用于在围绕其他恒星运行的行星上寻找生命迹象的望远镜)”可知,HWO望远镜的设计目的是寻找系外行星上的生命迹象。故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Before building the HWO, scientists have been working on significant challenges it will face.(在建造HWO之前,科学家们就已经在研究它将面临的重大挑战)”可知,“those”指代的是前一句提到的challenges(挑战),即科学家正在应对的HWO面临的重大难题之一是筛选目标恒星。故划线词指的是“挑战”。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“If binaries are too close together, the light from the unblocked star will be so bright that it’ll cover up the planets and make them hard to see, making planet detection (探测) around binary stars more difficult(如果双星之间的距离过近,未被遮挡的恒星发出的光线会过于强烈,以至于会掩盖住行星的光芒,使行星难以被观测到,从而使得围绕双星的行星探测工作变得更加困难)”可知,未被遮挡的恒星发出的强光会掩盖行星,导致探测困难。故选C。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Some stars sometimes burst into bright flames, like our sun’s flares (太阳耀斑), which aren’t always deadly. Nevertheless, we need to check closely that they’re not too strong, because these can affect life and the living conditions where life formation can happen.(有些恒星有时会突然爆发出耀眼的光芒,比如我们的太阳就会出现耀斑现象,但这些耀斑并不总是致命的。不过,我们仍需仔细检查其强度是否过强,因为这些现象可能会对生命以及生命形成的环境条件产生影响)”可知,恒星的强烈爆发是阻碍生命形成的因素。故选B。

【18题详解】
上文“Look for water signs like plants, animal tracks and insects.(寻找水的迹象,比如植物、动物足迹和昆虫。)”,下文“Additionally, birds and other animals tend to congregate (聚集) near water, so keep an eye out for them.(鸟类和其他动物往往聚集在水边,所以要注意它们。)”,D项“These are reliable signs in your search(这些是你搜索时可靠的迹象)”符合题意,其中 “These”指代前文提到的植物、动物足迹等寻水迹象,上下文衔接自然。故选D。
【19题详解】
空格处是小标题。根据下文“In a wilderness survival situation, finding food is a top priority, and plants are usually the easiest food to get. Many wild plants are safe to eat, but you must tell them apart from poisonous ones.(在野外生存的情况下,寻找食物是首要任务,而植物通常是最容易获得的食物。许多野生植物是可以安全食用的,但必须将它们与有毒植物区分开来。)”可知,由此可知,本段主要讲的是识别可食用植物。A项“Identify eatable plants (识别可食用植物)”能够概括段落主旨,适合作为小标题。故选A。
【20题详解】
上文“Knowing first aid basics can be crucial in saving a life or preventing further harm.(了解基本的急救知识对于挽救生命或防止进一步伤害至关重要。)”,下文“If the injury is mild, clean the wound and cover it with a clean bandage. If it’s serious, keep the hurt part still and get medical help at once.(如果伤势轻微,清洁伤口并用干净的绷带包扎。如果伤势严重,保持受伤部位不动,并立即寻求医疗帮助。)”,F项“Begin by examining the person’s condition(首先要检查伤者的情况)”符合题意,表示首先要检查伤者的状况,是开展急救的第一步,能够引出后文不同伤情的急救措施,符合急救的操作逻辑。故选F。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了齐白石的艺术成就以及今年12月将在山东济南山东美术馆举办的齐白石及其山东弟子美术研究展的相关情况。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:已故的水墨艺术家齐白石(1864-1957)出身于湖南农村的画家和木匠,后来成为北京艺术界备受赞誉的人物。figure是可数名词单数,表示“一位……人物”,泛指,且celebrated发音以辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:齐白石亲身经历了画家所面临的艰辛,因此他以与前来向他请教的年轻艺术家分享这些知识而闻名。be known for是固定短语,意为“因……而闻名”。故填for。

考查定语从句。句意:他运用浓墨、鲜艳的色彩和有力的笔触,创作出清新活泼的作品,表达了他对自然和生活的热爱。“_____ expressed his love for nature and life”是非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词works,关系词将其代入从句中作主语,应用关系代词which引导从句。故填which。
【40题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:1955年,他荣获国际和平奖。honor(授予……荣誉)是谓语动词,与主语he之间是被动关系,根据时间状语In 1955可知,讲述过去的事情应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是单数,谓语动词用单数形式。故填was honored。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:今年12月,齐白石及其山东弟子美术研究展将在济南山东美术馆开幕,展出艺术作品和数字装置。“(show) a mix of artworks and digital installations”作状语,show(展出)用非谓语动词形式,与其逻辑主语The Fine Art Research Exhibition of Qi Baishi and His Shandong Disciples之间是主动关系,用现在分词表主动。故填showing。

【答案】
Good morning, everyone!
Today I’d like to talk about online friendship. While the internet helps us connect with people worldwide, some of us get too lost in it. Spending too much time on online friends can make us neglect real-life relationships, and we might even face risks like meeting dishonest people.
So here are my suggestions. First, set a time limit for online chatting to focus more on classmates and family. Second, turn to real friends when you feel down — face-to-face comfort is more warm and genuine.
Let’s balance online and offline life to grow healthily. Thank you!

第二节(满分20分)
Diane Ray was completely self-centered and very spoilt (宠坏的). Her parents gave her everything that she wanted, knowing that she would throw a tantrum (发脾气) if they did not satisfy her desire.
That was why she was alone on the beach, wearing an expensive swimsuit, which was got by another big tantrum. Her parents were back at the beach house, recovering from the tantrum she had thrown, after they had told her that it was too dangerous to go swimming alone. “Dangerous?” she said. “You just don’t want me to have fun. I’m going and if you try to stop me, I’ll scream.”
“What are you doing?” a voice asked. Diane jumped and looked around. She did not know that the man was here until he spoke.
“I’m going to swim,” she answered coldly.
“You shouldn’t swim today,” the man advised. “There is a storm coming up.”
“You should mind your own business” Diane replied and walked into the gentle waves.
“If you go out there you’ll be sorry,” the man called after her. But she did not want to reply.
Diane slipped (滑) into the water and swam happily until white waves began rolling in and it became harder to swim against the current (水流). Sea water kept hitting her face, making it more and more difficult to breathe.
Frightened, she began to cry. Hot tears mixed with the cold sea on her cheeks, not the loud sobs she used to get her way, but quiet whimpers that got lost in the roar of the waves. She thought of her parents’ worried faces and their warnings. Unknowingly, a sharp, terrible regret twisted in her stomach. And she felt she would slip beneath the surface and be pulled under the current.
Then, she heard a calm voice, “Hold on! I’m coming.” With relief, she saw the man rowing a boat towards her. “I hope you’ve learned a lesson. You put us both in danger,” he shouted angrily as he dragged her into the boat. Diane thanked him gratefully and ran towards the beach house.
After Diane closed her bedroom’s door, she was lost in thought.
