One sunny morning, my wife and I piled the kids into the car with a hope that my memory was reliable.We went out looking for “my” trees.
About 25 years ago I started working as a tree planter in Northern Ontario. I would have planted several thousand a day, every day, for weeks and weeks. I worked every summer for six years, which added up to over 500,000 trees. While we were planting, we talked about what our trees would be like when they grew taller. The small trees were no longer than my thumb. It seemed unlikely our trees would last more than a day or two.
Eventually, I stopped the car and stared at the clear blue sky and treetops softly waving. I walked toward them. They were so tall and solid, much bigger than I thought they would be. There were so many of them,waving soundlessly in the wind like they were welcoming me. Row upon row of fully grown, healthy pines left me speechless. They spoke of that time of my life, in 1995, when I was strong and young in my mid-20s.
I walked among them, listening to the sound of the wind in their high branches. Humbled and moved, Inever had such a strong sense of my impact on the world. I felt a quiet presence and at home among my trees, as if they had been waiting for me. What was unclear and unlikely had grown specific and very real. What I had held in my hands had grown into a towering forest surrounding me.
My kids ran to join me.
“You planted all these?” asked my 10-year-old son, Forest.
“I planted more than this every day. And this is where your name comes from,” I told him.
Together, with my 6-year-old son River, we walked deeper into the woods and spotted a clearing. We emerged suddenly into the open space and I felt even more at home than in the forest I'd planted. It was more familiar, this open space where I had once spent thousands and thousands of hours.
4. What do we know about the author when he was in his mid-20s?
A. He planted over 500,000 trees within six years.
B. He volunteered to plant trees in Northern Ontario.
C. Most of the trees he planted didn't survive a week.
D. He planted several thousand trees every day for six years.
5. How did the author feel at the sight of the trees he had planted?
A. He felt surprised that the place looked so different.
B. He mainly missed the hard work he did in the past.
C. He wanted to count how many trees were still alive.
D. He felt deeply touched by the real results of his young days.
6. What does the underlined word“clearing” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. a fallen tree B. an empty place C. a cutting tool D. a clean cottage
7. Which could be the best title for the text?
A. Memory of Planting Trees. B. Planting Trees with Families.
C. A Reunion with My Trees. D. Making for a Greener Future.
C
A man in a lab coat bends under a dim light with tight eyes looking at a microscope. Time is short, the pays-off are high, and only this scientist can save everyone. That kind of romanticized picture of science was standard for a long time. But it’s far from the truth.
Some scientists search for the causes of some observable effects, such as the link between destroyed forests and Earth’s temperature increase. Others may investigate the “what” rather than the “why” of things. For example, ecologists build models to estimate gray wolf abundance in Montana, US. It’s impractical to spot them all and count them. Abundance models are not 100 percent accurate, but they offer estimates that seem good enough to set harvesting quotas (限额) and maintain the ecosystem.
Beyond the “what” and the “why”, scientists may focus on the “how”. For instance, the lives of people living with illnesses can be improved by research on how to relieve symptoms, even if the true causes of their disorders are largely unknown to current medicine.
People often think “real science” should provide definite, complete and perfect answers to their questions. However, given various limitations and the world’s complexity, keeping multiple perspectives in play is often the best way for scientists to reach their goals and solve the problems at hand.
In the world of science, healthy disagreement is a feature, not a bug. Science is a social process in which the community’s scrutiny (监督) ensures we have the best available knowledge. “Best available” does not mean “definitive”, but the best we have until we find out how to improve it.
The long history of atomism (原子论) shows how science is a process rather than a fast delivery of results set in stone. As scientist Jean Baptiste Perrin conducted his 1908 experiments that seemingly settled all discussion regarding atoms, questions about the atom’s properties were about to spark decades of controversy with the birth of quantum (量子) physics. Similar discussions continue to the present day.
So, real science is a collective, imperfect and may-sided process in which scientists contribute multiple and often partial solutions to complex and diverse problems.
8. How does the author introduce the topic of the article?
A. By describing a scientific research process.
B. By telling a scientist’s personal experience.
C. By giving an example of scientific failure.
D. By presenting a common misconception.
9. What do paragraphs 2-3 mainly talk about?
A. The challenges faced by scientists.
B. The history of scientific research.
C. The methods scientists use to share results.
D. The various focuses of scientists in their research.
10. What is the author’s view on healthy disagreements in science?
A. They are essential for scientific progress.
B. They create confusion and delay conclusions.
C. They indicate problems in scientific methods.
D. They often lead to the rejection of old theories.
11. Why does the author mention Jean Baptiste Perrin’s experiments and the subsequent debate ?
A. To show science is a collection of facts.
B. To prove scientific knowledge is always absolute.
C. To illustrate science is a dynamic and evolving process.
D. To show scientific conclusion can be reached after discussion.
D
Chocolate is a popular snack, but the price of it continues to rise. Cocoa from the cacao tree is the basic ingredient of chocolate; the trees thrive in warm and damp climates but are struggling due to increasing aridity — a slow but non-stop drying of the land. This issue extends to producers around the globe, threatening cocoa production and livelihoods of farmers.
Over the past 30 years, more than three-quarters of the Earth’s landmass has become drier. This dryness is a long-term transformation with disastrous consequences for ecosystems, agriculture, and livelihoods.
Aridity arises from human-driven factors, including greenhouse gas emissions, unsustainable land use, and natural resource degradation. Climate change, primarily caused by fossil fuel consumption and deforestation, increases global temperatures, accelerating evaporation (蒸发) and heightening water shortage — even in regions with moderate rainfall.
Unsustainable land use further intensifies aridity. Practices like deforestation and industrial farming degrade soils, removing them from protective vegetation and essential nutrients. In cocoa-producing regions, deforestation upsets local water cycles and wears away the topsoil. Degraded soils hold less water, deepening drought conditions.
Cocoa is just one crop at risk. Major agricultural zones are also affected. By 2100, up to 5 billion people may live in dry lands, stretching food systems to their limit and forcing migration. Aridity also threatens ecosystems. Wildlife struggles to adapt, and plant species suited to warm and damp conditions fail to survive. Economic losses are overwhelming — Africa saw a 12% GDP decline from 1990 to 2015 due to rising aridity. Governments face additional burdens from sandstorms, wildfires, and water shortages.
While aridity’s effects are severe, they are not entirely changeless. Restoring degraded lands, improving soil health, and adopting sustainable farming practices can help. Efficient water management, investment in renewable energy, and international cooperation are essential in battling aridity.
As chocolate prices hit record highs in early 2025 due to dry conditions in Africa, addressing aridity is a matter of urgency. Beyond saving chocolate, it’s about preserving the planet’s ability to sustain life.
12. What’s the main reason for the rising price of chocolate?
A The decline of cocoa production. B. The high cost of basic ingredients.
C. The increasing demand for chocolate. D. The shortage of cocoa tree plantations.
13. What do we know about aridity?
A It is mainly caused by natural factors.
B. It only affects cocoa-producing regions.
C. It has a wide-ranging impact on various aspects.
D. It will disappear if sustainable land use is adopted.
14. Why is Africa’s GDP decline mentioned in paragraph 5?
A. To show aridity only causes economic losses in Africa.
B. To prove Africa is the most severely affected by aridity.
C. To criticize Africa lacks effective measures against aridity.
D. To illustrate aridity has a significant influence on economy.
15. Which of the following can fight against aridity?
A. Cutting off water supplies. B. Replacing renewable energy.
C. Promoting soil conservation. D. Practicing industrial farming.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Dealing with negativity can be difficult, especially when you’re not happy with who you are. ____16____ However, laughing at yourself is a surprisingly effective way to deal with negative circumstances. Here are some tips to learn to laugh at yourself more in life.
Accept yourself. You know that nobody is perfect. ____17____ When talking about the “negatives”, it’s extremely important to know which parts of yourself can be changed and which can’t. For example, there’s no point in being angry at yourself because you aren’t as tall as you’d like to be. You can try all you want, but you’ll never change those features of yourself.
____18____ Accepting yourself is often so hard because you aren’t even looking at yourself — you’re just looking at how well you do a certain thing. You’ve probably done it yourself. You didn’t lift as much weight in the gym as the guy next to you? You’re weak. You didn’t finish all of the work you planned to do? You’re lazy. ____19____ So instead, you should realize that a single action doesn’t determine who you are. This means that laughing about a mistake you once made doesn’t mean you’re laughing at who you are as a person.
Be humble. You can’t laugh at yourself while at the same time trying to maintain the image that you’re awesome at everything you do. In other words, you’d better avoid showing off and be more humble instead. A good tip is to think of how insignificant you are in the universe. ____20____ It reminds you that whatever problems you’re dealing with right now don’t matter in the end.
A. Be mindful of others.
B. This knowledge can be freeing in a way.
C. Separate yourself from your performance.
D. So how can you learn to laugh about yourself?
E. So why would you expect yourself to be any different?
F. You can make a mistake, but that doesn’t make you the mistake.
G. The last thing you want at this point is for someone to laugh at you.

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。
On a sunny Saturday in June, Alyson, aged 3, giggled as she and her mother, Marlen, played games in the front yard of their home. With Marlen close behind, tiny Alyson dashed into the backyard of a neighbor. Suddenly, Alyson disappeared, seemingly swallowed whole by a barely visible hole in the ground. Marlen screamed.
The neighbor, Luz, 26, was preparing dinner in the kitchen and assumed the screams were the sounds of children playing. But she ran outside anyway and found Marlen sobbing and Alyson’s sister Damary, 25,kneeling on the grass, dialing 911.
" Alyson fell in the hole!” Damary cried to Luz. Instantly, Luz ran inside the house and down to the basement for a ladder. No ladder there. So she had no choice but to grab a gray extension cord (绳索) to use as a rope. Back in the yard, she and Damary used their hands to dig at the hole, widening the opening from seven inches in width to about 20 inches. Marlen sat on the grass, too anxious to help. When Police detective AaronPerkins arrived a few minutes later, Luz was in the hole up to her waist. “Get out of there, ” the officer told Luz,holding her up by the arms. “It’s dangerous for you.”
“It’s more dangerous for the kid,” she said. “She's going to die.”
The detective begged Luz to wait for help, but she was determined. “I’ve got to do this,” she told him.
While Detective Perkins held one end of the cord, Luz lowered herself, arm over arm, about halfway down the 15-foot-deep, rock-lined hole. Her foot located a metal tube that stuck out from the wall of the hole, and she rested herself on it for a moment. Below, she saw water covering the floor of a four-foot-wide cave; Alyson was drowned up to her neck. Luz dropped the remaining few feet into the water beside the three-year-old, then scooped (托举) her up.
Above ground, Detective Perkins talked to Luz, keeping her calm until help arrived.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右:
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
“Everything is going to be fine,” Luz told the soaked and shivering little girl.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The family later learned that the ground had been destroyed by tree roots, leaving its surface vulnerable.

One sunny morning, my wife and I piled the kids into the car with a hope that my memory was reliable.We went out looking for “my” trees.
About 25 years ago, I started working as a tree planter in Northern Ontario. I would have planted several thousand a day, every day, for weeks and weeks. I worked every summer for six years, which added up to over 500,000 trees. While we were planting, we talked about what our trees would be like when they grew taller. The small trees were no longer than my thumb. It seemed unlikely our trees would last more than a day or two.
Eventually, I stopped the car and stared at the clear blue sky and treetops softly waving. I walked toward them. They were so tall and solid, much bigger than I thought they would be. There were so many of them,waving soundlessly in the wind like they were welcoming me. Row upon row of fully grown, healthy pines left me speechless. They spoke of that time of my life, in 1995, when I was strong and young in my mid-20s.
I walked among them, listening to the sound of the wind in their high branches. Humbled and moved, Inever had such a strong sense of my impact on the world. I felt a quiet presence and at home among my trees, as if they had been waiting for me. What was unclear and unlikely had grown specific and very real. What I had held in my hands had grown into a towering forest surrounding me.
My kids ran to join me.
“You planted all these?” asked my 10-year-old son, Forest.
“I planted more than this every day. And this is where your name comes from,” I told him.
Together, with my 6-year-old son River, we walked deeper into the woods and spotted a clearing. We emerged suddenly into the open space and I felt even more at home than in the forest I'd planted. It was more familiar, this open space where I had once spent thousands and thousands of hours.
4. What do we know about the author when he was in his mid-20s?
A. He planted over 500,000 trees within six years.
B. He volunteered to plant trees in Northern Ontario.
C. Most of the trees he planted didn't survive a week.
D. He planted several thousand trees every day for six years.

B. He mainly missed the hard work he did in the past.
C. He wanted to count how many trees were still alive.
D. He felt deeply touched by the real results of his young days.
6. What does the underlined word“clearing” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. a fallen tree B. an empty place C. a cutting tool D. a clean cottage

Humbled and moved, I never had such a strong sense of my impact on the world.(我漫步其中,聆听着风吹过它们高枝的声音。我感到谦卑和感动,从未有过如此强烈的感觉,意识到自己对世界的影响)”可知,文章主要讲述了作者25年前在安大略北部种树,多年后故地重游,看到自己种下的树长成森林,感慨万千。因此,C选项“A Reunion with My Trees(与我的树重逢)”最符合文章主旨。故选C。
C
A man in a lab coat bends under a dim light with tight eyes looking at a microscope. Time is short, the pays-off are high, and only this scientist can save everyone. That kind of romanticized picture of science was standard for a long time. But it’s far from the truth.
Some scientists search for the causes of some observable effects, such as the link between destroyed forests and Earth’s temperature increase. Others may investigate the “what” rather than the “why” of things. For example, ecologists build models to estimate gray wolf abundance in Montana, US. It’s impractical to spot them all and count them. Abundance models are not 100 percent accurate, but they offer estimates that seem good enough to set harvesting quotas (限额) and maintain the ecosystem.
Beyond the “what” and the “why”, scientists may focus on the “how”. For instance, the lives of people living with illnesses can be improved by research on how to relieve symptoms, even if the true causes of their disorders are largely unknown to current medicine.
People often think “real science” should provide definite, complete and perfect answers to their questions. However, given various limitations and the world’s complexity, keeping multiple perspectives in play is often the best way for scientists to reach their goals and solve the problems at hand.
In the world of science, healthy disagreement is a feature, not a bug. Science is a social process in which the community’s scrutiny (监督) ensures we have the best available knowledge. “Best available” does not mean “definitive”, but the best we have until we find out how to improve it.
The long history of atomism (原子论) shows how science is a process rather than a fast delivery of results set in stone. As scientist Jean Baptiste Perrin conducted his 1908 experiments that seemingly settled all discussion regarding atoms, questions about the atom’s properties were about to spark decades of controversy with the birth of quantum (量子) physics. Similar discussions continue to the present day.
So, real science is a collective, imperfect and may-sided process in which scientists contribute multiple and often partial solutions to complex and diverse problems.
8. How does the author introduce the topic of the article?
A. By describing a scientific research process.

【8题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段“A man in a lab coat bends under a dim light with tight eyes looking at a microscope. Time is short, the pays-off are high, and only this scientist can save everyone. That kind of romanticized picture of science was standard for a long time. But it’s far from the truth. (一个穿着实验室大褂的男人在昏暗的灯光下弯着腰,紧盯着显微镜。时间很短,回报很高,只有这位科学家能拯救所有人。这种浪漫化的科学图景在很长一段时间内都是标准的。但事实远非如此。)”可知,作者通过呈现一个常见的误解引入这篇文章的主题。故选D。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第二段中“Some scientists search for the causes of some observable effects, such as the link between destroyed forests and Earth’s temperature increase. Others may investigate the “what” rather than the “why” of things.

Science is a social process in which the community’s scrutiny (监督) ensures we have the best available knowledge. “Best available” does not mean “definitive”, but the best we have until we find out how to improve it. (在科学界,健康的分歧是一种特征,而不是缺陷。科学是一个社会过程,在这个过程中,社会的监督确保我们拥有最好的可用知识。“现有的最佳”并不意味着“确定的”,而是在我们找到改进方法之前我们所拥有的最佳。)”可以推断,作者认为健康的意见分歧对于科学进步是必不可少的。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The long history of atomism (原子论) shows how science is a process rather than a fast delivery of results set in stone. As scientist Jean Baptiste Perrin conducted his 1908 experiments that seemingly settled all discussion regarding atoms, questions about the atom’s properties were about to spark decades of controversy with the birth of quantum (量子) physics. Similar discussions continue to the present day. (原子论的悠久历史表明,科学是一个过程,而不是一成不变的快速交付结果。科学家Jean Baptiste Perrin在1908年进行的实验似乎解决了所有关于原子的讨论,但随着量子物理学的诞生,有关原子性质的问题即将引发数十年的争议。类似的讨论一直持续到今天。)”可以推断,作者提及Jean Baptiste Perrin的实验和随后的争论是为了说明科学是一个动态的、不断发展的过程。故选C。
D
Chocolate is a popular snack, but the price of it continues to rise. Cocoa from the cacao tree is the basic ingredient of chocolate; the trees thrive in warm and damp climates but are struggling due to increasing aridity — a slow but non-stop drying of the land. This issue extends to producers around the globe, threatening cocoa production and livelihoods of farmers.
Over the past 30 years more than three-quarters of the Earth’s landmass has become drier. This dryness is a long-term transformation with disastrous consequences for ecosystems, agriculture, and livelihoods.
Aridity arises from human-driven factors, including greenhouse gas emissions, unsustainable land use, and natural resource degradation. Climate change, primarily caused by fossil fuel consumption and deforestation, increases global temperatures, accelerating evaporation (蒸发) and heightening water shortage — even in regions with moderate rainfall.
Unsustainable land use further intensifies aridity. Practices like deforestation and industrial farming degrade soils, removing them from protective vegetation and essential nutrients. In cocoa-producing regions, deforestation upsets local water cycles and wears away the topsoil. Degraded soils hold less water, deepening drought conditions.
Cocoa is just one crop at risk. Major agricultural zones are also affected. By 2100, up to 5 billion people may live in dry lands, stretching food systems to their limit and forcing migration. Aridity also threatens ecosystems. Wildlife struggles to adapt, and plant species suited to warm and damp conditions fail to survive. Economic losses are overwhelming — Africa saw a 12% GDP decline from 1990 to 2015 due to rising aridity. Governments face additional burdens from sandstorms, wildfires, and water shortages.
While aridity’s effects are severe they are not entirely changeless. Restoring degraded lands, improving soil health, and adopting sustainable farming practices can help. Efficient water management, investment in renewable energy, and international cooperation are essential in battling aridity.
As chocolate prices hit record highs in early 2025 due to dry conditions in Africa, addressing aridity is a matter of urgency. Beyond saving chocolate, it’s about preserving the planet’s ability to sustain life.
12. What’s the main reason for the rising price of chocolate?
A. The decline of cocoa production. B. The high cost of basic ingredients.
C. The increasing demand for chocolate. D. The shortage of cocoa tree plantations.
13. What do we know about aridity?
A. It is mainly caused by natural factors.
B. It only affects cocoa-producing regions.
C. It has a wide-ranging impact on various aspects.
D. It will disappear if sustainable land use is adopted.
14. Why is Africa’s GDP decline mentioned in paragraph 5?
A. To show aridity only causes economic losses in Africa.
B. To prove Africa is the most severely affected by aridity.
C. To criticize Africa lacks effective measures against aridity.
D. To illustrate aridity has a significant influence on economy.
15. Which of the following can fight against aridity?
A. Cutting off water supplies. B. Replacing renewable energy.
C. Promoting soil conservation. D. Practicing industrial farming.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了全球干旱化加剧对可可种植、农业生产及生态系统的威胁,并导致巧克力价格上涨。但干旱化不仅是巧克力危机,也同时威胁农业、生态和经济。土地修复,可持续农业,资源管理以及国际合作是对抗干旱的有效措施。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“… the trees thrive in warm and damp climates but are struggling due to increasing aridity—a slow but non-stop drying of the land. This issue extends to producers around the globe, threatening cocoa production and livelihoods of farmers.(……可可树在温暖潮湿的气候中生长旺盛,但由于土地逐渐变得干旱,它们的生长状况正面临困境。这一问题波及全球的生产者,威胁着可可的产量以及农民的生计。)”可知,土地逐渐变得干旱使得巧克力的原料来源可可树的生长状况面临困境,从而导致可可的产量减少,最终导致巧克力价格上涨。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“This dryness is a long-term transformation with disastrous consequences for ecosystems, agriculture, and livelihoods.(这种干旱是一种长期的转变,对生态系统、农业和生计造成灾难性后果。)”可知,干旱的影响不仅限于单一区域或作物,而是广泛涉及生态、农业、经济等多方面。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段内容“Economic losses are overwhelming—Africa saw a 12%GDP decline from 1990 to 2015 due to rising aridity. (经济损失极为严重——自1990年至2015年,非洲的国内生产总值下降了 12%,原因是干旱加剧。)”可知,导致非洲的国内生产总值下降的原因之一是干旱加剧,由此推知,作者以非洲为例是为了说明干旱对经济的显著影响。故选D项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第六段内容“Restoring degraded lands, improving soil health, and adopting sustainable farming practices can help. Efficient water management, investment in renewable energy, and international cooperation are essential in battling aridity.(恢复退化的土地、改善土壤质量以及采用可持续的耕作方式都有助于缓解干旱问题。有效的水资源管理、对可再生能源的投资以及国际间的合作对于对抗干旱至关重要。)”可知,缓解或对抗干旱问题的方式有恢复退化的土地,改善土壤质量,采用可持续的耕作方式,进行有效的水资源管理,对可再生能源投资以及国际合作。因此可知,选项C“Promoting soil conservation.(促进土壤保护。)”是对抗干旱的措施。故选C项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Dealing with negativity can be difficult, especially when you’re not happy with who you are. ____16____ However, laughing at yourself is a surprisingly effective way to deal with negative circumstances. Here are some tips to learn to laugh at yourself more in life.
Accept yourself. You know that nobody is perfect. ____17____ When talking about the “negatives”, it’s extremely important to know which parts of yourself can be changed and which can’t. For example, there’s no point in being angry at yourself because you aren’t as tall as you’d like to be. You can try all you want, but you’ll never change those features of yourself.
____18____ Accepting yourself is often so hard because you aren’t even looking at yourself — you’re just looking at how well you do a certain thing. You’ve probably done it yourself. You didn’t lift as much weight in the gym as the guy next to you? You’re weak. You didn’t finish all of the work you planned to do? You’re lazy. ____19____ So instead, you should realize that a single action doesn’t determine who you are. This means that laughing about a mistake you once made doesn’t mean you’re laughing at who you are as a person.
Be humble. You can’t laugh at yourself while at the same time trying to maintain the image that you’re awesome at everything you do. In other words, you’d better avoid showing off and be more humble instead. A good tip is to think of how insignificant you are in the universe. ____20____ It reminds you that whatever problems you’re dealing with right now don’t matter in the end.
A. Be mindful of others.
B. This knowledge can be freeing in a way.
C. Separate yourself from your performance.
D So how can you learn to laugh about yourself?
E. So why would you expect yourself to be any different?
F. You can make a mistake, but that doesn’t make you the mistake.
G. The last thing you want at this point is for someone to laugh at you.
【答案】16. G 17. E 18. C 19. F 20. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍应对消极情绪时自嘲的作用及学会自嘲的几点建议。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Dealing with negativity can be difficult, especially when you’re not happy with who you are.(应对消极情绪可能很困难,尤其是当你对自己不满意时)”可知,此处描述负面情绪下的心理状态,结合下文的“However, laughing at yourself is a surprisingly effective way to deal with negative circumstances.(然而,出人意料的是,自嘲是应对负面处境的一种非常有效的方式)”可知,此处提出自嘲是有效方法,由此可知,此空为过渡句,G选项“The last thing you want at this point is for someone to laugh at you.(此时你最不希望的就是有人嘲笑你)”承接上文,进一步说明对他人嘲笑的抵触心理,与下文形成转折,引出“自嘲”这一核心话题,符合语境。故选G项。
【17题详解】
上文“You know that nobody is perfect.(你知道没有人是完美的)”指出普遍事实,“没有人是完美的”,结合下文的“When talking about the “negatives”, it’s extremely important to know which parts of yourself can be changed and which can’t.(在谈论“缺点”时,清楚地知道自己哪些方面可以改变、哪些无法改变是极其重要的)”可知,此处应承上启下的作用,E选项“So why would you expect yourself to be any different?(那么你为什么要期待自己与众不同呢?)”承接了上文,以反问句强调人应接受自身不完美,与前文形成因果关系,且引出下文“区分可改变与不可改变的部分”的论述。故选E项。
【18题详解】
分析语篇可知,此处为本段的主题句,根据下文“Accepting yourself is often so hard because you aren’t even looking at yourself — you’re just looking at how well you do a certain thing.(接受自己往往很难,因为你甚至没有在审视自己,而是只关注自己在某件事上的表现)”可知,本段主要讨论接受自己很困难地原因,C选项“Separate yourself from your performance.(将自己与表现区分开来)”为祈使句,直接点明主旨,作为段落标题,概括下文内容,符合语境。故选C项。
【19题详解】
上文“You didn’t lift as much weight in the gym as the guy next to you? You’re weak. You didn’t finish all of the work you planned to do? You’re lazy.(你在健身房举起的重量不如旁边那个人多?你太弱了。你没能完成计划好的所有工作?你太懒了)”可知,此处列举了两个具体的例子说明一个观点,结合下文的“So instead, you should realize that a single action doesn’t determine who you are.(因此,你应该意识到,一个单独的行为并不能决定你是谁)”可知,本空应该是对上文错误观点的否定,F选项“You can make a mistake, but that doesn’t make you the mistake.(你可能会犯错,但这并不意味着你就是错误本身)”承接上文的例子,进一步论证观点,且与下文为因果关系。故选F项。
【20题详解】
上文“A good tip is to think of how insignificant you are in the universe.(一个好的建议是想想你在宇宙中有多渺小)”提出具体做法,结合下文的“It reminds you that whatever problems you’re dealing with right now don’t matter in the end.(它提醒你,无论你现在正面临什么问题,最终都不会那么重要)”可知,此处是对空格内容的进一步阐述,B选项“This knowledge can be freeing in a way.(这种认知在某种程度上可以让人感到解脱)”承接了上文,阐述该做法的效果,且与下文阐述的内容衔接。故选B项。

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。
On a sunny Saturday in June, Alyson, aged 3, giggled as she and her mother, Marlen, played games in the front yard of their home. With Marlen close behind, tiny Alyson dashed into the backyard of a neighbor. Suddenly, Alyson disappeared, seemingly swallowed whole by a barely visible hole in the ground. Marlen screamed.
The neighbor, Luz, 26, was preparing dinner in the kitchen and assumed the screams were the sounds of children playing. But she ran outside anyway and found Marlen sobbing and Alyson’s sister Damary, 25,kneeling on the grass, dialing 911.
" Alyson fell in the hole!” Damary cried to Luz. Instantly, Luz ran inside the house and down to the basement for a ladder. No ladder there. So she had no choice but to grab a gray extension cord (绳索) to use as a rope. Back in the yard, she and Damary used their hands to dig at the hole, widening the opening from seven inches in width to about 20 inches. Marlen sat on the grass, too anxious to help. When Police detective AaronPerkins arrived a few minutes later, Luz was in the hole up to her waist. “Get out of there, ” the officer told Luz,holding her up by the arms. “It’s dangerous for you.”
“It’s more dangerous for the kid,” she said. “She's going to die.”
The detective begged Luz to wait for help, but she was determined. “I’ve got to do this,” she told him.
While Detective Perkins held one end of the cord, Luz lowered herself, arm over arm, about halfway down the 15-foot-deep, rock-lined hole. Her foot located a metal tube that stuck out from the wall of the hole, and she rested herself on it for a moment. Below, she saw water covering the floor of a four-foot-wide cave; Alyson was drowned up to her neck. Luz dropped the remaining few feet into the water beside the three-year-old, then scooped (托举) her up.
Above ground, Detective Perkins talked to Luz, keeping her calm until help arrived.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右:
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
“Everything is going to be fine,” Luz told the soaked and shivering little girl.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The family later learned that the ground had been destroyed by tree roots, leaving its surface vulnerable.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
“Everything is going to be fine,” Luz told the soaked and shivering little girl. She gently wrapped her arms around Alyson, trying to offer warmth and comfort. The little girl clung to Luz tightly, her sobbing gradually subsiding. With the help of the detective above, Luz was carefully pulled up along with Alyson. As they emerged from the hole, Marlen rushed forward, tears streaming down her face, and hugged her daughter tightly, thanking Luz over and over again.
The family later learned that the ground had been destroyed by tree roots, leaving its surface vulnerable. It was a hidden danger that no one had expected. They were extremely grateful to Luz for her bravery and quick action. Without Luz’s determination and selflessness, Alyson might not have survived. This incident also served as a reminder to the whole neighborhood to be more cautious about potential hazards around them. And Luz became a hero in everyone’s eyes, her act of kindness and courage shining brightly in their hearts.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了3岁小女孩Alyson不慎掉入地面上的一个洞中,情况危急,邻居Luz不顾个人安危,勇敢下洞救人的故事。
