Four Women Who Shine a Light
Simulating (模拟) outer space on Earth
Michaela Musilová is a Slovak scientist who simulates space issues on Earth. She has overseen more than 30 simulated missions to the Moon and to Mars. She is currently president of the nonprofit XtremeFrontiers, which she founded, where she conducts research and leads expeditions (考察队) in cooperation with institutions worldwide. Interested in becoming an astronaut since childhood, she is an advocate for science education.
Diving for a livelihood
Soon-ja Hong, 69, is one of the female divers of Jeju Island, ROK. The women are known as the Haenyeo. Starting in the 17th century, the island’s women took the role of the primary earners through deep-diving to the ocean floor. In today’s industrialized world, the number of Haenyeo has declined from tens of thousands to just a few thousand, and most of those who remain are in their 60s or older.
Keeping water flowing
Rasheedat Umar, 19, is one of the few female mechanics (机械师) in Nigeria’s Sokoto State. She got her training in a program and has taught over 100 mechanics to maintaining water facilities, which often suffer failures due to a lack of upkeep. Umar’s newly gained expertise has been critical to maintain the community’s water facilities, which provide clean and safe water to over 20,000 local families.
Advocating helping people with special needs
Sari Pollen from Bali, Indonesia, a divorced (离异的) women, often suffered from not being accepted in Balinese society. After studying to become a teacher, she helped found a school for children with special needs. She then decided to create a safe shelter for defenseless women, the PKP Community Centre, which provides job training and emotional support for women and families in need.
1. What does Michaela Musilová do?
A. She studies space on Earth. B. She works as an astronaut.
C. She organizes space flights. D. She has left XtremeFrontiers.
2. What is the current situation of the Haenyeo?
A. Their number is growing rapidly.
B. They are mostly elderly women.
C. They have totally quitted diving.
D. They are just diving for fun now.
3. Why did Sari Pollen start the PKP Community Centre?
A. To ensure the supply of clean water to locals.
B. To provide support for disadvantaged women.
C. To fight for the rights of the divorced women.
D. To teach children the importance of mechanics.

【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Simulating (模拟) outer space on Earth部分中“Michaela Musilová is a Slovak scientist who simulates space issues on Earth. She has overseen more than 30 simulated missions to the Moon and to Mars. (Michaela Musilová是一位斯洛伐克科学家,她在地球上模拟太空问题。她已监督完成30多项模拟月球和火星的任务)”可知,Michaela Musilová在地球上研究太空。故选A。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Diving for a livelihood部分中“In today’s industrialized world, the number of Haenyeo has declined from tens of thousands to just a few thousand, and most of those who remain are in their 60s or older. (在当今的工业化世界中,海女的人数已从数万人减少到几千人,而且大多数幸存者都在60多岁或以上)”可知,海女目前大多是老年女性。故选B。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“She then decided to create a safe shelter for defenseless women, the PKP Community Centre, which provides job training and emotional support for women and families in need. (然后,她决定为手无寸铁的妇女建立一个安全的避难所——PKP社区中心,为有需要的妇女和家庭提供职业培训和情感支持)”可知,Sari Pollen创办PKP社区中心是为了为弱势妇女提供支持。故选B。
I’d been invited to help organize a charity party. It would be nice to get out of the house to make a difference to others’ lives. I looked in the mirror and nodded my head in approval. It was going to be a great day!
After everything was done, we went to an all-you-can-eat buffet (自助餐). We arrived and I headed straight for my favorite section — the salad. I loaded my plate with lettuce, cauliflower, and cucumbers. As I reached for the salad dressing, an elderly man bumped (撞) into me. “Oh, I’m sorry. Excuse me,” I said pleasantly. I hadn’t moved so I knew it was he who had bumped into me. I felt a little sorry for him. I didn’t want him to feel bad so I apologized first.
“I guess you just couldn’t wait to get to the food, could you? Look at your size,” he answered. My mouth dropped open and I no longer felt sorry for him.
A million thoughts ran through my head. Should I try to shame him by telling him that I had gained weight due to a side effect of antidepressants (抗抑郁药)? Would it matter to him that I hadn’t always looked like this... that I had once been thin? And then it hit me... Did it matter to me? I immediately ran away from him.
That evening I played the old man’s words over and over again in my mind. I was finally feeling better after years of antidepressant treatment. Sure I had gained some weight, but I had gained something else along the way. I’d become much more caring toward other hurting hearts. I gained insight into the people and things that are truly important in life. It felt good to feel good again. I would not allow this complete stranger to steal my joy. His words said more about him than they did about me. For the second time that day, I felt sorry for the old man.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者参加慈善派对后吃自助餐时被一位老人撞到并嘲讽体重,最终作者选择自我接纳并拒绝让陌生人破坏自己心情的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“I didn’t want him to feel bad so I apologized first.(我不想让他感到难过,所以我先道歉了。)”可知,作者先向老人道歉是因为作者想让他感觉舒服些。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““I guess you just couldn’t wait to get to the food, could you? Look at your size,” he answered. My mouth dropped open and I no longer felt sorry for him.(“我看你是急着要吃东西吧?瞧瞧你这体型。”他说道。我惊得张大了嘴巴,对他的同情也瞬间消失了。)”和第四段“A million thoughts ran through my head. Should I try to shame him by telling him that I had gained weight due to a side effect of antidepressants (抗抑郁药)? Would it matter to him that I hadn’t always looked like this... that I had once been thin? And then it hit me... Did it matter to me? I immediately ran away from him.(无数个念头在我脑海中闪过。我要不要告诉他,我体重增加是因为服用抗抑郁药的副作用,以此让他感到羞愧呢?我告诉他我以前并不总是这样……我曾经很瘦,这对他来说重要吗?然后我突然想到……这对我重要吗?我立刻从他身边跑开了。)”可推知,作者对老人的话感到非常震惊和受伤。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I was finally feeling better after years of antidepressant treatment.(经过多年的抗抑郁治疗,我终于感觉好多了。)”可推知,作者曾经经历过一段艰难的时期。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段中“I would not allow this complete stranger to steal my joy. His words said more about him than they did about me.(我不会让这个完全陌生的人偷走我的快乐。他的话更多地反映了他自己而不是我。)”可知,文章主要讲述了作者从被老人嘲讽到最终选择自我接纳,拒绝让陌生人破坏自己心情的心路历程,因此D项“The journey to self-acceptance(自我接纳之旅)”最适合作文章标题。故选D。
Plastic is everywhere — and yet some people may be surprised at how much they actually wear. It has been woven into our sportswear, sweaters, swimsuits and stretchy socks. When they are worn, washed and put through the dryer, they shed (掉落) tiny plastic fiber (纤维) into water and air nonstop. A single wash can release millions which are so tiny that wastewater treatment factories can’t collect them all. They wind up in local waterways that connect to the ocean. Sea animals eat them, and that can pass plastic to larger animals and humans.
Even natural fabrics shed fibers and have chemicals that can spread into the environment. But polyester (聚酯纤维) is the most widely used fiber on Earth, and along with other synthetic fibers accounts for about two-thirds of production worldwide.
“Everyone who wears and washes clothing is part of this problem but everyone who wears and washes clothing can be part of the solutions,” said Rachel Z. Miller, founder of Vermont-based Rozalia Project for a Clean Ocean. They shed less when put in cold water in full loads (负载), on a shorter cycle, then hung to dry. Other options include putting clothing in a washing bag that catches fibers and adding filters to washers to catch plastic fibers.
More challenging is that cloth needs to be produced in a more green way. Some big brands are testing their cloth to understand why fibers shed and transform cloth production.
“It’s up to clothing manufacturing companies to prevent it at the source since cleaning up microplastics in the environment is not yet possible,” said a manager of a big clothing manufacturing company. The company has worked with suppliers to choose cloth to finish their clothing in ways that reduce shedding.
“There’s a whole lot of smart people, not just understanding the problem, but also looking for solutions all the way through the producing cycle and use phase,” said Matt Dwyer, vice president of global product footprint. “Compared to 10 years ago, it’s a whole new world.”
8. What is the main problem discussed in the first paragraph?
A. The difficulty of recycling plastic products.
B. The pollution of microplastics from clothing.
C. The influence of plastic fiber on sea animals.
D. The quality of clothes made of microplastics.
9. Why is polyester particularly mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To prove it contains harmful chemicals.
B. To show it will be rarely used in future.
C. To stress it can replace natural material.
D. To imply it brings lots of microplastics.
10. How can we help reduce the microplastics from clothes?
A. By washing clothes with hot water.
B. By avoiding washing fewer at a time.
C. By air drying clothes after washing it.
D. By washing clothes as long as possible.
11. What is Matt Dwyer’s attitude to the progress of solving the problem?
A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Worried. D. Annoyed.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了服装产生的微塑料污染问题的现状、解决途径及行业进展。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Plastic is everywhere — and yet some people may be surprised at how much they actually wear. It has been woven into our sportswear, sweaters, swimsuits and stretchy socks. When they are worn, washed and put through the dryer, they shed (掉落) tiny plastic fiber (纤维) into water and air nonstop. A single wash can release millions which are so tiny that wastewater treatment factories can’t collect them all. They wind up in local waterways that connect to the ocean. (塑料无处不在,但有些人可能会对他们实际使用的塑料量感到惊讶。它已经被编织到我们的运动服、毛衣、泳衣和弹力袜中。当它们被穿着、清洗和放入烘干机时,它们会不停地将微小的塑料纤维脱落到水和空气中。一次清洗就会释放出数百万个微粒,这些微粒非常小,污水处理厂无法将它们全部收集起来。它们最终进入了与海洋相连的当地水道。)”可知,衣物在穿着和洗涤过程中会持续掉落微塑料纤维,这些纤维无法被完全收集,最终进入海洋,造成污染。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。第二段“Even natural fabrics shed fibers and have chemicals that can spread into the environment. But polyester (聚酯纤维) is the most widely used fiber on Earth, and along with other synthetic fibers accounts for about two-thirds of production worldwide. (即使是天然织物也会脱落纤维,并含有可以扩散到环境中的化学物质。但聚酯纤维是地球上使用最广泛的纤维,与其他合成纤维一起占全球产量的三分之二左右。)”可推知,聚酯纤维被特别提及是因为其广泛使用意味着它产生了大量的微塑料。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“They shed less when put in cold water in full loads (负载), on a shorter cycle, then hung to dry. Other options include putting clothing in a washing bag that catches fibers and adding filters to washers to catch plastic fibers. (当它们满负载放入冷水中,以较短的周期,然后挂起来晾干时,它们的脱落较少。其他选择包括把衣服放在洗衣袋里,这样可以捕获纤维,在洗衣机上增加过滤器,这样可以捕获塑料纤维。)”可知,用冷水、满负载、短周期模式洗涤衣物并悬挂晾干,可以减少衣物上的微塑料纤维脱落。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““There’s a whole lot of smart people, not just understanding the problem, but also looking for solutions all the way through the producing cycle and use phase,” said Matt Dwyer, vice president of global product footprint. “Compared to 10 years ago, it's a whole new world.” (全球产品足迹副总裁马特•德怀尔(Matt Dwyer)表示:“有很多聪明人,他们不仅了解问题,而且还在整个生产周期和使用阶段寻找解决方案。”“与10年前相比,这是一个全新的世界。”)”可知,Matt Dwyer认为有很多聪明人不仅能够理解问题,还会寻找解决方案,现在的情况与十年前相比已是全新的局面。这体现了他对解决问题的进展持乐观的态度。故选A。
Whether you believe a customer is always right probably depends on which side of the counter you’re on. For shoppers, a shopkeeper quick to fix mistakes and listen to concerns is great. But for shopkeepers, consumers abuse (滥用) this can be tiresome. Is a customer right when returning a half-eaten sandwich? There is no easy answer.
The origin of this expression has several explanations. The earliest printed mention dates back to 1905, from Marshall Field, a Chicago department store operator. The Boston Globe called him a “merchant (商业) prince” and noted his business principles. Field insisted his employees respect and obey his practices, like sticking to “the customer is always right”. It’s possible the Boston Globe author owed a common proverb (格言) to him.
César Ritz, a hotel owner with properties in Paris and London, was also a proponent of a similar idea of “the customer is never wrong” in 1908. Another person, a manager under Field, is also linked to the phrase. He might have come up with it, or Field might have adopted it from him. In 1909, the manager opened his London store. His good manners to customers were famous. Once, he learned of a woman who believed a coat cost 25 pence rather than 25 pounds: He let her buy it for the lesser amount.
However, some find the phrase infantilizing (当小孩看待), arguing that customers can quite frequently be wrong and that no store should accommodate unreasonable shoppers. Even the manager’s store turned away in 1936, stating “The customer is not quite always right. There is such a thing, very seldom, as the unreasonable customer...We observe our old proverb that the customer is always right, and at the same time we relieve ourselves of a possibly impossible position by adding the two words ‘almost always’.”
12. What is the author’s purpose in writing the first paragraph?
A. To present a debatable business saying.
B. To criticize shopkeepers’ service aims.
C. To share a personal shopping experience.
D. To explain how to get on with customers.
13. What did Marshall Field do?
A. He first published his business principles.
B. He once contributed to the Boston Globe.
C. He demanded his workers to follow his rules.
D. He protested that customers are always right.
14. What does the underlined word “proponent” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Critic. B. Analyst. C. Inventor. D. Supporter.
15. What happened to the store of the manager under Field in 1936?
A. It received complaint for its service.
B. It adjusted the old principles a little.
C. It agreed to serve difficult customers.
D. It totally gave up its former belief.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“顾客永远是对的”这一商业格言的起源、实践及其演变。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Whether you believe a customer is always right probably depends on which side of the counter you’re on. For shoppers, a shopkeeper quick to fix mistakes and listen to concerns is great. But for shopkeepers, consumers abuse (滥用) this can be tiresome. Is a customer right when returning a half-eaten sandwich? There is no easy answer. (你是否相信顾客永远是对的,可能取决于你站在柜台的哪一边。对于购物者来说,店主能迅速纠正错误并倾听他们的担忧是很好的。但对于店主来说,消费者的滥用可能会令人厌烦。顾客把吃了一半的三明治退回来对吗?没有简单的答案。)”可知,作者通过对比购物者与店主的不同视角、提出争议性问题,引出“顾客永远是对的”这一有争议的商业说法。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Field insisted his employees respect and obey his practices, like sticking to ‘the customer is always right’. (菲尔德坚持要求员工尊重并遵守他的经营方式,比如坚守‘顾客永远是对的’这一原则。)”可知,马歇尔・菲尔德要求员工遵守他的规则。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“César Ritz, a hotel owner with properties in Paris and London, was also a proponent of a similar idea of ‘the customer is never wrong’ in 1908. (1908 年,在巴黎和伦敦拥有酒店产业的塞萨尔・里兹,也是‘顾客永远没有错’这一类似理念的 proponent。)”结合前文马歇尔・菲尔德坚守“顾客永远是对的”可知,此处similar idea表明里兹与菲尔德态度一致,César Ritz应是该理念的支持者。由此猜测,划线词意为“支持者”,与supporter同义。故选D。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Even the manager’s store turned away in 1936, stating “The customer is not quite always right. There is such a thing, very seldom, as the unreasonable customer...We observe our old proverb that the customer is always right, and at the same time we relieve ourselves of a possibly impossible position by adding the two words ‘almost always’.” (甚至连经理的商店也在1936年拒绝了他,理由是“顾客并不总是对的。有这样一种情况,很少见,那就是不讲理的顾客……我们遵守我们那句古老的谚语:顾客永远是对的。同时,我们加上‘几乎总是’两个字,使自己摆脱了可能不可能的境地。”)可知,该商店对旧原则进行了微调。故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Sometimes, we get so busy that we end up losing connection with ourselves, others, or the world around us. Here are some ways to help you avoid being a little "off".
Practice mindfulness
Adding some mindfulness into your day can really help you recenter. This doesn’t mean you have to take an hour to meditate (冥想) each day. ___16___. Notice the way your food smells and how the temperature and textures of it feel when you take a bite. This simple act can turn one of your daily necessities into a way to connect better with your own body and mind.
___17___
Tending to your own needs can help reset your emotional compass. There are so many ways to practice self-care. ___18___. For others, it might be a nice walk with a pet, or a warm bath with beautiful music. Find a way that works best for you, but it’s important that whatever activity you choose is focused on caring for yourself.
Manage your stress and anxiety
___19___. Naturally, stress and anxiety build up unnoticed. Proactive management is crucial for maintaining emotional balance. Integrate simple, effective practices like walking, quiet reflection or even deep breathing exercises into your routine. These habits can work wonders on regulating stress, developing a greater sense of connection and enjoyment in daily life.
Master your sleep
Quality sleep is fundamental to feeling connected. When you’re lacking sleep, you feel impatient and on edge. It’s harder to accomplish your day’s tasks which may lead you to feel like you’re all over the place. Whenever possible, aim for at least 7-8 hours of quality sleep per night. Establish a calming bedtime routine to gradually relax. ___20___.
A. Move your body.
B. Book a date with yourself.
C. Instead, you can just try being fully present during a meal.
D. If your life feels messy, it’s obviously harder to stay awake.
E. Busy schedules often push mental health to the bottom of our list.

G. Don’t jump into bed immediately after answering the day’s last email.
【答案】16. C 17. B 18. F 19. E 20. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。这篇文章提供了四种避免因忙碌而失去联系的方法:练习正念(例如,专注于吃饭),自我照顾,管理压力,以及通过一个平静的睡前程序确保高质量的睡眠。
【16题详解】
根据前文“This doesn’t mean you have to take an hour to meditate (冥想) each day.( 这并不意味着你必须每天花一个小时来冥想。)”否定“每天冥想一小时”的复杂方式,以及后文“Notice the way your food smells and how the temperature and textures of it feel when you take a bite.( 当你咬一口的时候,注意食物的气味,以及它的温度和质地。)”提到“留意食物气味、口感”,需用简单方式衔接“正念”主题。C选项“Instead, you can just try being fully present during a meal.(相反,你可以尝试在吃饭时完全专注当下。)”既呼应“无需长时间冥想”,又引出“用餐时的正念练习”,符合“简单易行”的逻辑。故选C项。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Tending to your own needs can help reset your emotional compass.( 关注你自己的需求可以帮助你重置你的情感指南针。)”可知,该段围绕“关注自身需求、重置情绪指南针”展开,核心是“自我关怀”。B选项“Book a date with yourself.(和自己约个会。)”简洁概括“花时间关注自己”的主题,作为段落标题,能统领后文“自我关怀的具体方式”。故选B项。
【18题详解】
根据前文“There are so many ways to practice self-care.( 有很多方法可以练习自我照顾。)”提到“自我关怀有很多方式”,以及后文“For others, it might be a nice walk with a pet, or a warm bath with beautiful music.( 对其他人来说,可能是和宠物一起散步,或者是听着美妙的音乐洗个热水澡。)”提到“对其他人来说,可能是和宠物散步或听音乐泡澡”,需用 “对一部分人来说”的句式形成并列。F选项“For some, it’s spending time alone with a good book and a cup of tea.( 对有些人来说,是独自看书、喝茶。)”符合“不同人不同自我关怀方式”的并列逻辑,衔接自然。故选F项。
【19题详解】
根据段落主题“Manage your stress and anxiety(控制你的压力和焦虑)”提到“管理压力和焦虑”,前文需铺垫压力产生的原因。E选项“Busy schedules often push mental health to the bottom of our list.(忙碌的日程常把心理健康挤到清单末尾。)”解释了“压力和焦虑不知不觉累积”的背景,符合“先说明问题成因,再给解决方法”的逻辑。故选E项。
【20题详解】
根据前文“Establish a calming bedtime routine to gradually relax.( 建立一个安静的睡前习惯,逐渐放松。)”提到“建立平静的睡前习惯以逐渐放松”,需给出具体的睡前习惯建议。G选项“Don’t jump into bed immediately after answering the day’s last email.(回复完当天最后一封邮件后,不要马上上床。)”是“平静睡前 routine”的具体做法,符合“给出实操建议”的逻辑,帮助读者落实“放松入睡”。故选G项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。本文主要讲述中国通过在“健康中国”倡议中增加全国性体重管理活动来应对日益上升的肥胖率。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:中国正在努力应对不断上升的肥胖率,将一项全国性的体重管理活动纳入其“健康中国”倡议中。“add... to...”为固定短语,意为“把……添加到……”。故填to。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:“健康中国”倡议是2019年发布的一项全面的公共卫生战略,旨在改善国民健康状况。“____2____ (issue) in 2019 to improve national health outcomes”在句中作后置定语,修饰“a comprehensive public health strategy”,“strategy”与“issue(发布)”之间是被动关系,即战略是被发布的,所以用过去分词issued。故填issued。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:4月初,中国国家卫生健康委员会宣布了一项新的全国性体重管理活动,该活动设定了到2030年的目标。根据时间状语“In early April”可知,此处描述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时,announce的过去式为announced。故填announced。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:4月初,中国国家卫生健康委员会宣布了一项新的全国性体重管理活动,该活动设定了到2030年的目标。“____4____ sets goals through 2030”是定语从句,先行词是“a new nationwide weight management campaign”,指物,在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词that或which引导。故填that / which。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意:国家卫生健康委员会旨在营造支持性的环境,提高公众意识和技能,推广健康的生活方式,并减缓该国不断上升的肥胖率。此处修饰名词“environments”,应用形容词作定语,support的形容词是supportive,意为“支持的;给予帮助的”。故填supportive。
【41题详解】
考查连词。句意:国家卫生健康委员会旨在营造支持性的环境,提高公众意识和技能,推广健康的生活方式,并减缓该国不断上升的肥胖率。“create supportive environments”“boost public awareness and skills”“promote healthy lifestyles”和“slow the country’s rising obesity rates”这几个动作是并列关系,所以用and连接。故填and。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这一消息广泛传播后,医生建议体重过高的人在爬山或徒步旅行时要谨慎,并指出徒步旅行会增加膝盖、心脏和血液系统的压力,增加摔倒或受伤的风险。已有谓语动词“are advising”,“note”与逻辑主语“doctors”之间是主动关系,即医生指出……,所以用现在分词noting作伴随状语。故填noting。
【43题详解】
考查代词。句意:对于那些决心减肥但不确定自己是否选择了最适合他们的方法的人来说,全国医院的医疗团队可以提供解决方案。“suits”是动词,后接代词宾格形式作宾语,they的宾格是them。故填them。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:医院利用医学知识、结构化管理和智能工具帮助患者克服挑战,避免因体重减轻而产生的副作用。“weight loss”是固定短语,意为“体重减轻”,这里用名词loss,作from的宾语。故填loss。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这位专家解释说,临床监测可以检测出营养缺乏、贫血或不健康的肌肉流失而非脂肪流失等问题。根据语境及“instead of fat loss”可知,这里指不健康的肌肉流失,应用形容词unhealthy作定语,修饰名词“muscle loss”。故填unhealthy。

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。
I was stuck at the border (边界) with no way out. I didn’t know it then, but this border was more than just a physical place — it was a turning point in my life, a limit I had to cross before moving on to something new. That’s when kindness appeared, just when I needed it most.
He appeared at the Tanzania-Zambia border. I was on a life-changing mission, determined to rid myself and my family of poverty. But things took a bad turn. All my belongings were stolen. I was left with only the clothes I was wearing, with no way to contact home and no way to move forward or go back.
I begged for food to survive, feeling hunger that pushed me beyond what I could bear. I kept telling myself not to give up. “Keep going! You’ve got dreams to chase (追逐),” I reminded myself.
On the seventh day, Joel, a 34-year-old gentleman, saw my situation and came closer. I had neither ever seen nor met him before. He asked what had happened to me, and I explained everything — the theft, the hunger, and how I was stuck at the border for days.
Joel listened carefully. He showed his kindness to me. He paid for my bus fare. Besides, he said I could stay at his home and gave me shelter for two weeks. This man, who didn’t know me at all, treated me like one of his family members. His kindness changed everything for me.
After two weeks, I told him, “Joel, I need to go and keep fighting for my dreams.” I didn’t want to be a burden. Joel didn’t stop me. He supported me without hesitation. Before I left, he gave me $10 and said, “It’s not much, but it will help you start.”
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 that $10, I started on my mission again.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Now, as a CEO of a new company, I was looking forward to the exciting meeting with Joel.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
With that $10, I started on my mission again. I used the money for necessities and a bus ticket. I worked odd jobs, saving every penny. I worked hard, both online and offline, putting everything I had into building a better life. I rented a small apartment and began taking online courses to improve my skills. Whenever I faced a challenge, Joel’s generosity fueled my determination to succeed in business. Slowly but surely, I started to build a new life for myself, always keeping in mind the kindness that had set me on this path.
Now, as a CEO of a new company, I was looking forward to the exciting meeting with Joel. My heart was full of thanks as I got ready to show Joel how his $10 had grown into something amazing. I wanted to give back by supporting the community projects he cared about. Most of all, I hoped to look at the kind man who believed in me when I had nothing, and tell him that because he helped me, I now want to help others too. Meeting him again felt like completing a circle of kindness that started with his good heart.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者在坦桑尼亚-赞比亚边境财物被盗,被困多日、忍饥挨饿。34岁的Joel出现,他倾听作者遭遇后,付车费、提供住所,两周后还资助作者10美元让其继续追梦。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“有了这10美元,我再次踏上了我的征程。”可知,第一段先描写作者用10美元购买基础物资,体现对每一分钱的珍惜;再写作者赚钱的行动,以及对Joel善意的铭记与感恩。
②由第二段句首内容“现在,作为一家新公司的首席执行官,我期待着与Joel的激动人心的会面。”可知,第二段先描写作者成为公司CEO后,期待与Joel见面的原因,最后升华“善意传递”的主题。
2.续写线索:重启目标——谨慎花钱并赚钱 ——铭记Joel善意 ——期待与Joel见面 ——想向Joel致谢——善意影响
3.词汇激活
行为类
①打零工:work odd jobs/do part-time work/take on odd jobs

Four Women Who Shine a Light
Simulating (模拟) outer space on Earth
Michaela Musilová is a Slovak scientist who simulates space issues on Earth. She has overseen more than 30 simulated missions to the Moon and to Mars. She is currently president of the nonprofit XtremeFrontiers, which she founded, where she conducts research and leads expeditions (考察队) in cooperation with institutions worldwide. Interested in becoming an astronaut since childhood, she is an advocate for science education.
Diving for a livelihood
Soon-ja Hong, 69, is one of the female divers of Jeju Island, ROK. The women are known as the Haenyeo. Starting in the 17th century, the island’s women took the role of the primary earners through deep-diving to the ocean floor. In today’s industrialized world, the number of Haenyeo has declined from tens of thousands to just a few thousand, and most of those who remain are in their 60s or older.
Keeping water flowing
Rasheedat Umar, 19, is one of the few female mechanics (机械师) in Nigeria’s Sokoto State. She got her training in a program and has taught over 100 mechanics to maintaining water facilities, which often suffer failures due to a lack of upkeep. Umar’s newly gained expertise has been critical to maintain the community’s water facilities, which provide clean and safe water to over 20,000 local families.
Advocating helping people with special needs

After studying to become a teacher, she helped found a school for children with special needs. She then decided to create a safe shelter for defenseless women, the PKP Community Centre, which provides job training and emotional support for women and families in need.
1. What does Michaela Musilová do?

C. She organizes space flights. D. She has left XtremeFrontiers.
2. What is the current situation of the Haenyeo?

C. They have totally quitted diving.
D. They are just diving for fun now.
3. Why did Sari Pollen start the PKP Community Centre?
A. To ensure the supply of clean water to locals.
B. To provide support for disadvantaged women.
C To fight for the rights of the divorced women.
D. To teach children the importance of mechanics.
I’d been invited to help organize a charity party. It would be nice to get out of the house to make a difference to others’ lives. I looked in the mirror and nodded my head in approval. It was going to be a great day!
After everything was done, we went to an all-you-can-eat buffet (自助餐). We arrived and I headed straight for my favorite section — the salad. I loaded my plate with lettuce, cauliflower, and cucumbers. As I reached for the salad dressing, an elderly man bumped (撞) into me. “Oh, I’m sorry. Excuse me,” I said pleasantly. I hadn’t moved so I knew it was he who had bumped into me. I felt a little sorry for him. I didn’t want him to feel bad so I apologized first.
“I guess you just couldn’t wait to get to the food, could you? Look at your size,” he answered. My mouth dropped open and I no longer felt sorry for him.
A million thoughts ran through my head. Should I try to shame him by telling him that I had gained weight due to a side effect of antidepressants (抗抑郁药)? Would it matter to him that I hadn’t always looked like this... that I had once been thin? And then it hit me... Did it matter to me? I immediately ran away from him.
That evening I played the old man’s words over and over again in my mind. I was finally feeling better after years of antidepressant treatment. Sure I had gained some weight, but I had gained something else along the way. I’d become much more caring toward other hurting hearts. I gained insight into the people and things that are truly important in life. It felt good to feel good again. I would not allow this complete stranger to steal my joy. His words said more about him than they did about me. For the second time that day, I felt sorry for the old man.
4. Why did the author apologize to the elderly man first?
A. She wanted him to feel comfortable. B. She knocked him down in a hurry.
C. She was required to do that by him. D. She was uncertain if she was wrong.
5. How did the author react to the old man’s words?
A. She explained why she had gained weight.
B. She shamed him and walked away at once.

D. She felt annoyed and shouted at him.
6. What can be inferred about the author?

B. She once went through a tough period of time.
C. She cares little about what others think of her.
D. She hadn’t known the side effects of antidepressants.

Plastic is everywhere — and yet some people may be surprised at how much they actually wear. It has been woven into our sportswear, sweaters, swimsuits and stretchy socks. When they are worn, washed and put through the dryer, they shed (掉落) tiny plastic fiber (纤维) into water and air nonstop. A single wash can release millions which are so tiny that wastewater treatment factories can’t collect them all. They wind up in local waterways that connect to the ocean. Sea animals eat them, and that can pass plastic to larger animals and humans.
Even natural fabrics shed fibers and have chemicals that can spread into the environment. But polyester (聚酯纤维) is the most widely used fiber on Earth, and along with other synthetic fibers accounts for about two-thirds of production worldwide.
“Everyone who wears and washes clothing is part of this problem but everyone who wears and washes clothing can be part of the solutions,” said Rachel Z. Miller, founder of Vermont-based Rozalia Project for a Clean Ocean. They shed less when put in cold water in full loads (负载), on a shorter cycle, then hung to dry. Other options include putting clothing in a washing bag that catches fibers and adding filters to washers to catch plastic fibers.
More challenging is that cloth needs to be produced in a more green way. Some big brands are testing their cloth to understand why fibers shed and transform cloth production.
“It’s up to clothing manufacturing companies to prevent it at the source since cleaning up microplastics in the environment is not yet possible,” said a manager of a big clothing manufacturing company. The company has worked with suppliers to choose cloth to finish their clothing in ways that reduce shedding.
“There’s a whole lot of smart people not just understanding the problem, but also looking for solutions all the way through the producing cycle and use phase,” said Matt Dwyer, vice president of global product footprint. “Compared to 10 years ago, it’s a whole new world.”
8. What is the main problem discussed in the first paragraph?
A. The difficulty of recycling plastic products.
B. The pollution of microplastics from clothing.

9. Why is polyester particularly mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To prove it contains harmful chemicals.
B. To show it will be rarely used in future.
C. To stress it can replace natural material.
D. To imply it brings lots of microplastics.
10. How can we help reduce the microplastics from clothes?
A. By washing clothes with hot water.
B. By avoiding washing fewer at a time.
C. By air drying clothes after washing it.
D. By washing clothes as long as possible.
11. What is Matt Dwyer’s attitude to the progress of solving the problem?
A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Worried. D. Annoyed.
Whether you believe a customer is always right probably depends on which side of the counter you’re on. For shoppers, a shopkeeper quick to fix mistakes and listen to concerns is great. But for shopkeepers, consumers abuse (滥用) this can be tiresome. Is a customer right when returning a half-eaten sandwich? There is no easy answer.
The origin of this expression has several explanations. The earliest printed mention dates back to 1905, from Marshall Field, a Chicago department store operator. The Boston Globe called him a “merchant (商业) prince” and noted his business principles. Field insisted his employees respect and obey his practices, like sticking to “the customer is always right”. It’s possible the Boston Globe author owed a common proverb (格言) to him.
César Ritz, a hotel owner with properties in Paris and London, was also a proponent of a similar idea of “the customer is never wrong” in 1908. Another person, a manager under Field, is also linked to the phrase. He might have come up with it, or Field might have adopted it from him. In 1909, the manager opened his London store. His good manners to customers were famous. Once, he learned of a woman who believed a coat cost 25 pence rather than 25 pounds: He let her buy it for the lesser amount.
However, some find the phrase infantilizing (当小孩看待), arguing that customers can quite frequently be wrong and that no store should accommodate unreasonable shoppers. Even the manager’s store turned away in 1936, stating “The customer is not quite always right. There is such a thing, very seldom, as the unreasonable customer...We observe our old proverb that the customer is always right, and at the same time we relieve ourselves of a possibly impossible position by adding the two words ‘almost always’.”
12. What is the author’s purpose in writing the first paragraph?
A. To present a debatable business saying.
B. To criticize shopkeepers’ service aims.
C. To share a personal shopping experience.
D. To explain how to get on with customers.
13. What did Marshall Field do?
A. He first published his business principles.
B. He once contributed to the Boston Globe.
C. He demanded his workers to follow his rules.
D. He protested that customers are always right.
14. What does the underlined word “proponent” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Critic. B. Analyst. C. Inventor. D. Supporter.
15. What happened to the store of the manager under Field in 1936?
A. It received complaint for its service.
B. It adjusted the old principles a little.
C. It agreed to serve difficult customers.
D. It totally gave up its former belief.

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。
I was stuck at the border (边界) with no way out. I didn’t know it then, but this border was more than just a physical place — it was a turning point in my life, a limit I had to cross before moving on to something new. That’s when kindness appeared, just when I needed it most.
He appeared at the Tanzania-Zambia border. I was on a life-changing mission, determined to rid myself and my family of poverty. But things took a bad turn. All my belongings were stolen. I was left with only the clothes I was wearing, with no way to contact home and no way to move forward or go back.
I begged for food to survive, feeling hunger that pushed me beyond what I could bear. I kept telling myself not to give up. “Keep going! You’ve got dreams to chase (追逐),” I reminded myself.
On the seventh day, Joel, a 34-year-old gentleman, saw my situation and came closer. I had neither ever seen nor met him before. He asked what had happened to me, and I explained everything — the theft, the hunger, and how I was stuck at the border for days.
Joel listened carefully. He showed his kindness to me. He paid for my bus fare. Besides, he said I could stay at his home and gave me shelter for two weeks. This man, who didn’t know me at all, treated me like one of his family members. His kindness changed everything for me.
After two weeks, I told him, “Joel, I need to go and keep fighting for my dreams.” I didn’t want to be a burden. Joel didn’t stop me. He supported me without hesitation. Before I left, he gave me $10 and said, “It’s not much, but it will help you start.”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

With that $10, I started on my mission again.

Now, as a CEO of a new company, I was looking forward to the exciting meeting with Joel.
