The Great Sock Mystery
I had a serious problem. My sock drawer was mysteriously emptying. It wasn’t a ghost or a burglar with a strange habit; it was my dog, Buster. A fluffy, clever, and utterly mischievous Golden Retriever. For weeks, I’d find single socks under the couch or behind the TV, but never the pairs. Buster would just look at me with his big, innocent eyes, tail thumping against the floor as if to say, “Socks? Missing? How peculiar!”
I decided to investigate. One Tuesday afternoon, I pretended to leave for work but quietly circled back and peered through the living room window. What I saw was a scene of strange dog business. Buster was not alone. He had company: a serious-looking Poodle from next door and a skeptical Beagle from down the street.
In the center of the room was Buster’s prized possession: his fluffy bed. But it wasn’t for sleeping. It was a treasure collection. My socks were piled high upon it — the athletic ones, the warm woolly ones, even my favorite pair with pizza slices on them.
The negotiation began. The Poodle, whom I recognized as Princess, stepped forward and dropped a high-quality, expensive dog biscuit at the edge of the bed. Buster sniffed it carefully, nudged a single, plain white sock toward her, and then pulled back his paw, guarding the rest. Princess seemed to consider this, then added another biscuit to the pile. Satisfied, Buster used his nose to expertly push two striped socks toward her. The deal was done. Princess picked up her new socks and trotted out proudly.
Next was the Beagle, Barney. He offered a well-licked, slightly flat tennis ball. Buster immediately looked utterly unfazed. He turned his head away with a snort. Barney cried, then reluctantly added a half-eaten pig’s ear to the offer. This got Buster’s attention. A quick exchange was made for one striped sock.
I burst through the door. “Buster! You furry little businessman!” All three dogs froze in guilty silence. Buster had the good manners to look embarrassed. He slowly crept over, not to apologize, but to gently nudge my least favorite pair of socks — the itchy Christmas ones from my aunt — toward my feet. It was a peace offering, a bribe to buy my silence. I couldn’t help but laugh. He wasn’t just a good thief; he was an excellent businessman. I took the socks. After all, every good economy needs a tax collector.
4. What drove the author to start the investigation?
A. The sock drawer was often left open.
B. Buster started barking at the sock drawer.
C. Buster’s bed was suddenly filled with socks.
D. Single socks were found in unusual places around the house.
5. What was the final outcome of the trade between Princess and Buster?

B. Princess acquired three socks for two expensive biscuits.
C. Buster exchanged his striped sock in the deal for a pig’s ear.

A. Make the neighbor pay for the traded socks.
B. Report Buster’s business to the animal shelter.
C. Accept the sock as his share for forgiving Buster.
D. Take all of Buster’s collections away as a punishment.
C
Jack Strange, a passionate writer, had dreamed of landing a publishing deal for years. When it finally happened, he was overjoyed. However, his excitement was short-lived when he discovered that some of his self-published books had been pirated (盗版) and appeared on LibGen, a shadow library that hosts millions of books and papers taken without permission. His works, along with those of many other authors, were being used to train AI systems like Meta’s Llama, which raised serious concerns about copyright and compensation (补偿).
Llama is a large language model that, like other AI systems such as ChatGPT, uses vast amounts of data to predict and generate text. While tech companies argue that such data is essential for improving AI, many authors, including Jack, believe they should be paid for the use of their intellectual property. Meta claims that the “fair use” of copyrighted materials is crucial for innovation and that the positive impact of generative AI can be felt by all fields of society. But writers feel their works are being exploited (利用) without recognition or payment, especially as AI threatens to replace human creativity in various industries.
The issue has sparked a growing movement among authors and creative professionals worldwide. Organizations like the Society of Authors are calling for stronger protection and fair compensation for creators whose work is used to train AI systems. Abie Longstaff, a representative of the Society of Authors, argues that AI is not only taking creative content but also imitating an author’s unique style without permission, further reducing the value of their work. “It’s about the recognition,” Abie says. “We want compensation and transparency (透明度).”
Governments are now involved in the debate. The UK government, for example, is exploring policies that would give tech companies automatic access to creative works unless creators choose out. However, many, like Abie, argue that this approach puts the burden on creators rather than companies. For Jack and many others, the rise of AI poses a real threat to their livelihoods and the future of creative industries.
8. What led to Jack’s excitement fading quickly after getting a publishing deal?
A. His works were illegally used.
B. Negative reviews brought him disturbance.
C. Other writers drew inspiration from his works.
D. The Society of Authors rejected to protect his copyright.
9. What does Meta say to justify its use of copyrighted materials?
A. It has strictly followed copyright laws. B. It will benefit the wider public.
C. It has obtained permission from authors. D. It will offer free access to new books.
10. What do many writers probably think of the UK government’s policy?
A. Unsystematic. B. Ineffective. C. Transparent. D. Progressive.
11. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. The emergence of pirated books worldwide. B. The rising threat of AI to creative industries.
C. The impact of LibGen on modem publishing. D. The fight of writers against AI’s unfair practice.
D
Have you ever been at a sporting event or concert and had to reposition to get in the right spot to see the action? Maybe you needed to shift left or right to see between two people. Perhaps you even had to stand on your seat to see over the person in front of you.
Well, plants often have to do something similar so that they can “see” as much light as possible. Plants need light to perform photosynthesis — making sugars from water and carbon dioxide in the air to feed themselves.
If sunlight is directly above them, plants will grow straight up toward it. Sometimes, it’s not that simple. For example, you might have seen house plants bending towards a window rather than growing straight and tall. When light comes from an angle, plants will curve (弯曲) toward it to get better access to the light they need to grow. Hormones in the plant’s tissues, called auxins, make cells on the dark side of the plant grow taller, bending the plant toward the light.
In a forest, plants may branch out so that their leaves are in open patches of sun, rather than in the shade. This often happens if taller bushes and trees tower over them, or if they are growing in a crowd of other plants. It’s much like humans seeking out sunny spots or reaching their hands toward a campfire to warm up when they feel cold outdoors. Other types of plants may not grow straight because they have different strategies. For example, strawberries grow close to the ground and spread sideways by sending out runners — stems that spread out just above the ground to create new plants. Other plants, like ivy, grow as vines that climb up trees, walls and fences. Climbing vines may grow straight, to the side or at angles, depending on what kinds of support structures they find to grow on.
The next time you see a plant growing straight, take notice of whether light is directly above it. Or if you see a plant that’s not straight, notice whether it’s bending toward light coming from the direction it’s facing.
12. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To present scientific data. B. To explain plants’ urgent needs.
C. To create a familiar comparison. D. To describe plant growth patterns.
13. Why do plants require sufficient light?
A. To produce their own food. B. To absorb water efficiently.
C. To release carbon dioxide. D. To strengthen root systems.
14. What might forest plants do when shaded?
A. Swing to save energy. B. Adjust leaf angles frequently.
C. Position leaves in sunny spots. D. Increase their growth speed rapidly.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. Forest ecosystem conservation. B. Plant behaviors in crowded spaces.
C. The process of photosynthesis in detail. D. Plant adaptation for light access.

Get Your Ideas Flowing
Does scribbling (潦草地写) things in a notebook make you feel good? Notebooking can help you release thoughts and feelings and use your imagination to spark ideas and solve problems.
What is notebooking?
Notebooking is a way of getting your thoughts, ideas and opinions out of your head and onto paper. It’s a bit like writing a diary but besides words you can use doodles (胡写乱画), drawings, pictures to record your thoughts. ____16____ They can be as neat and organized or as messy as you like.

Jack was always on his smartphone, scrolling through social media, playing games and chatting with friends. His mom, Mrs Turner, noticed that his grades had started to drop because he was spending too much time on his smartphone instead of focusing on his schoolwork. She had tried talking to him about it many times, but Jack didn’t listen. She knew she had to do something to help him, so one evening, she quietly took his smartphone and hid it in a drawer. She knew Jack would be upset, but she hoped it would help him get back on track with his studies.
The next morning, Jack rushed to find his smartphone but couldn’t find it anywhere. He searched his room, the kitchen, and even the living room, but it was gone. He felt depressed and angry. “Where is my smartphone?” he whispered. When he went downstairs for breakfast, his mom gave him a calm smile. “I think you might have misplaced it,” she said. Jack was puzzled but didn’t say anything. He left for school, feeling more upset than usual.
At school, Jack’s mind kept wandering to his smartphone. He couldn’t concentrate on his lessons, and he felt a little lost without it. During lunch, he found something unusual in his schoolbag. It was a small, handwritten card from his mom. It read, “Jack, I know it’s hard, but you’re capable of doing great things. Stay focused, work hard, and the results will follow. I believe in you.” Jack smiled to himself. He realized that his mom was only trying to help him, not punish him.
He realized that he had been wasting time, and without his smartphone, he could actually pay more attention to his schoolwork. He felt grateful for his mom’s action, even though it had upset him at first.
注意:

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者发现家里的袜子神秘失踪,调查后发现是狗Buster用袜子和其他狗做交易的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“For weeks, I’d find single socks under the couch or behind the TV, but never the pairs.(好几个星期以来,我总能在沙发下或电视机后面发现一只袜子,但从来找不到成对的袜子。)”和第二段中“I decided to investigate.(我决定展开调查。)”可知,作者因在家中不寻常的地方频繁发现单只袜子,才决定展开调查。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The Poodle, whom I recognized as Princess, stepped forward and dropped a high-quality, expensive dog biscuit at the edge of the bed. Buster sniffed it carefully, nudged a single, plain white sock toward her, and then pulled back his paw, guarding the rest. Princess seemed to consider this, then added another biscuit to the pile. Satisfied, Buster used his nose to expertly push two striped socks toward her.(我认出是贵宾犬Princess,它走上前来,在床边放了一块质量上乘、价格昂贵的狗饼干。Buster仔细地嗅了嗅,用鼻子把一只普通的白袜子推到她面前,然后缩回爪子,护着剩下的袜子。Princess似乎在考虑,然后又往堆里加了一块饼干。Buster很满意,用鼻子熟练地把两条条纹袜子推到她面前。)”可知,Princess和Buster交易的最终结果是Princess用两块昂贵的饼干换了三只袜子。故选B。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段中“He offered a well-licked, slightly flat tennis ball. Buster immediately looked utterly unfazed. He turned his head away with a snort.(他提供了一个舔得很好、有点扁的网球。Buster立刻看起来完全unfazed。他哼了一声,把头转了过去。)”可知,Buster对网球不感兴趣,所以把头转了过去,因此unfazed意思是“不感兴趣的”,与uninterested意思相近。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Buster had the good manners to look embarrassed. He slowly crept over, not to apologize, but to gently nudge my least favorite pair of socks — the itchy Christmas ones from my aunt — toward my feet. It was a peace offering, a bribe to buy my silence. I couldn’t help but laugh. He wasn’t just a good thief; he was an excellent businessman. I took the socks. After all, every good economy needs a tax collector.(Buster还算有礼貌,露出尴尬的神情。它慢慢爬过来,不是来道歉,而是轻轻把我最不喜欢的一双袜子——姨妈送的那双让人发痒的圣诞袜——推到我脚边。这是它求和的表示,想贿赂我让我闭嘴。我忍不住笑了。它不只是个偷袜子高手,还是个出色的生意人呢。我收下了袜子。毕竟,每个良好的经济体系都需要个收税人呢。)”可推知,作者将袜子当作原谅Buster的“税款”收下,接受了它的和解。故选C。
C
Jack Strange, a passionate writer, had dreamed of landing a publishing deal for years. When it finally happened, he was overjoyed. However, his excitement was short-lived when he discovered that some of his self-published books had been pirated (盗版) and appeared on LibGen, a shadow library that hosts millions of books and papers taken without permission. His works, along with those of many other authors, were being used to train AI systems like Meta’s Llama, which raised serious concerns about copyright and compensation (补偿).
Llama is a large language model that, like other AI systems such as ChatGPT, uses vast amounts of data to predict and generate text. While tech companies argue that such data is essential for improving AI, many authors, including Jack, believe they should be paid for the use of their intellectual property. Meta claims that the “fair use” of copyrighted materials is crucial for innovation and that the positive impact of generative AI can be felt by all fields of society. But writers feel their works are being exploited (利用) without recognition or payment, especially as AI threatens to replace human creativity in various industries.
The issue has sparked a growing movement among authors and creative professionals worldwide. Organizations like the Society of Authors are calling for stronger protection and fair compensation for creators whose work is used to train AI systems. Abie Longstaff, a representative of the Society of Authors, argues that AI is not only taking creative content but also imitating an author’s unique style without permission, further reducing the value of their work. “It’s about the recognition,” Abie says. “We want compensation and transparency (透明度).”
Governments are now involved in the debate. The UK government, for example, is exploring policies that would give tech companies automatic access to creative works unless creators choose out. However, many, like Abie, argue that this approach puts the burden on creators rather than companies. For Jack and many others, the rise of AI poses a real threat to their livelihoods and the future of creative industries.
8. What led to Jack’s excitement fading quickly after getting a publishing deal?
A. His works were illegally used.
B. Negative reviews brought him disturbance.
C. Other writers drew inspiration from his works.
D. The Society of Authors rejected to protect his copyright.
9. What does Meta say to justify its use of copyrighted materials?
A. It has strictly followed copyright laws. B. It will benefit the wider public.
C. It has obtained permission from authors. D. It will offer free access to new books.
10. What do many writers probably think of the UK government’s policy?
A. Unsystematic. B. Ineffective. C. Transparent. D. Progressive.
11. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. The emergence of pirated books worldwide. B. The rising threat of AI to creative industries.
C. The impact of LibGen on modem publishing. D. The fight of writers against AI’s unfair practice.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了作家杰克·斯特兰奇的作品被盗版并用于训练人工智能系统,引发了作者群体对人工智能不公平做法的抗争。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, his excitement was short-lived when he discovered that some of his self-published books had been pirated (盗版) and appeared on LibGen, a shadow library that hosts millions of books and papers taken without permission.(然而,当他发现一些自己出版的书被盗版并出现在LibGen上时,他的兴奋之情很快就消失了。LibGen是一个影子图书馆,收藏了数百万本未经许可获取的书籍和论文。)”可知,杰克·斯特兰奇在获得出版协议后的兴奋很快消失是因为他的作品被非法使用了。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Meta claims that the “fair use” of copyrighted materials is crucial for innovation and that the positive impact of generative AI can be felt by all fields of society.(Meta声称,对受版权保护材料的“合理使用”对创新至关重要,生成式人工智能的积极影响可以被社会各领域感受到。)”可知,Meta认为其对受版权保护材料的使用将使广大公众受益。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The UK government, for example, is exploring policies that would give tech companies automatic access to creative works unless creators choose out. However, many, like Abie, argue that this approach puts the burden on creators rather than companies.(例如,英国政府正在探索一项政策,该政策将允许科技公司自动访问创意作品,除非创作者选择退出。然而,包括阿比在内的许多人认为,这种方法将负担转嫁给了创作者,而不是公司。)”可知,许多作家可能认为英国政府的政策无效。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中“His works, along with those of many other authors, were being used to train AI systems like Meta’s Llama, which raised serious concerns about copyright and compensation (补偿).(他的作品以及许多其他作者的作品都被用来训练像Meta的Llama这样的人工智能系统,这引发了人们对版权和补偿的严重担忧。)”,第三段中“The issue has sparked a growing movement among authors and creative professionals worldwide.(这一问题在全球作家和创意专业人士中引发了一场日益壮大的运动。)”可知,文章主要讨论了作家们反对人工智能不公平做法的斗争。故选D。

Have you ever been at a sporting event or concert and had to reposition to get in the right spot to see the action? Maybe you needed to shift left or right to see between two people. Perhaps you even had to stand on your seat to see over the person in front of you.
Well, plants often have to do something similar so that they can “see” as much light as possible. Plants need light to perform photosynthesis — making sugars from water and carbon dioxide in the air to feed themselves.
If sunlight is directly above them, plants will grow straight up toward it. Sometimes, it’s not that simple. For example, you might have seen house plants bending towards a window rather than growing straight and tall. When light comes from an angle, plants will curve (弯曲) toward it to get better access to the light they need to grow. Hormones in the plant’s tissues, called auxins, make cells on the dark side of the plant grow taller, bending the plant toward the light.
In a forest, plants may branch out so that their leaves are in open patches of sun, rather than in the shade. This often happens if taller bushes and trees tower over them, or if they are growing in a crowd of other plants. It’s much like humans seeking out sunny spots or reaching their hands toward a campfire to warm up when they feel cold outdoors. Other types of plants may not grow straight because they have different strategies. For example, strawberries grow close to the ground and spread sideways by sending out runners — stems that spread out just above the ground to create new plants. Other plants, like ivy, grow as vines that climb up trees, walls and fences. Climbing vines may grow straight, to the side or at angles, depending on what kinds of support structures they find to grow on.
The next time you see a plant growing straight, take notice of whether light is directly above it. Or if you see a plant that’s not straight, notice whether it’s bending toward light coming from the direction it’s facing.
12. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To present scientific data. B. To explain plants’ urgent needs.
C. To create a familiar comparison. D. To describe plant growth patterns.
13. Why do plants require sufficient light?
A. To produce their own food. B. To absorb water efficiently.
C. To release carbon dioxide. D. To strengthen root systems.
14. What might forest plants do when shaded?
A. Swing to save energy. B. Adjust leaf angles frequently.
C. Position leaves in sunny spots. D. Increase their growth speed rapidly.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. Forest ecosystem conservation. B. Plant behaviors in crowded spaces.
C. The process of photosynthesis in detail. D. Plant adaptation for light access.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. D

Get Your Ideas Flowing
Does scribbling (潦草地写) things in a notebook make you feel good? Notebooking can help you release thoughts and feelings and use your imagination to spark ideas and solve problems.
What is notebooking?
Notebooking is a way of getting your thoughts, ideas and opinions out of your head and onto paper. It’s a bit like writing a diary but besides words you can use doodles (胡写乱画), drawings, pictures to record your thoughts. ____16____ They can be as neat and organized or as messy as you like. Children’s author David Almond uses notebooking to inspire his stories. He calls it a “scribbly, messy, lovely, joyful thing”.
How is notebooking good for you?
____17____ Studies show that scribbling and writing can improve your memory and keep your brain alert. Doodling is also known to relieve stress and help you focus. When drawing freely you use a pen or pencil attached to the brain by nerves and muscles. ____18____ Notebooking also releases imagination and helps understand things more clearly. Therefore, it’s a great way to gather ideas for stories and projects too.
____19____
“I begin by making a mess,” says Almond. He recommends turning to a blank page and starting to scribble, doodle and write without being sure how it’s going to turn out. Using lots of color also helps your mind relax and your thoughts become clearer. “Instead of thinking, ‘I’ve got to come up with something really interesting, you just relax, play around and these thoughts come to life,” he says. Another good thing about notebooking is that no-one needs to see it. You don’t have to tell anyone what you’re doing. Almond says, “____20____”
A. How to get started?
B. When is notebooking flowing?
C. When it comes to notebooks, there are no rules.
D. It does contribute to your well-being in lots of ways.

【16题详解】
根据上文“Notebooking is a way of getting your thoughts, ideas and opinions out of your head and onto paper. It’s a bit like writing a diary but besides words you can use doodles (胡写乱画), drawings, pictures to record your thoughts.(笔记记录是一种将脑海中的想法、观点和意见转化为文字表达出来的方式。它有点像写日记,但除了文字之外,你还可以使用涂鸦、图画和图片来记录自己的想法)”以及后文“They can be as neat and organized or as messy as you like. Children’s author David Almond uses notebooking to inspire his stories. He calls it a “scribbly, messy, lovely, joyful thing”.(它们可以规整有序,也可以杂乱无章,完全取决于你的喜好。儿童作家大卫·阿尔蒙德通过使用笔记记录的方式来激发创作灵感。他将其形容为“潦草、凌乱、可爱又令人愉悦的活动”)”可知,前文定义“笔记记录法”可结合文字、涂鸦、图画等形式,且“可整洁有序也可杂乱无章”,核心强调“无规则限制”。选项C“说到笔记本,没有任何规则”承接前文的灵活性描述,与后文David Almond称其为“潦草、杂乱却美好快乐的事”呼应,逻辑连贯。故选C。
【17题详解】
该段标题为“How is notebooking good for you?”(笔记记录法对你有何益处?)结合后文“Studies show that scribbling and writing can improve your memory and keep your brain alert. Doodling is also known to relieve stress and help you focus. When drawing freely you use a pen or pencil attached to the brain by nerves and muscles.(研究表明,涂鸦和书写能够增强记忆力并使大脑保持清醒。涂鸦还能缓解压力并帮助集中注意力。自由作画时,你所使用的笔或铅笔是通过神经和肌肉与大脑相连的)”可知,空格后具体说明“提升记忆力、保持大脑活跃、缓解压力、帮助专注”等好处。选项D“它确实在很多方面有助于你的身心健康”作为段落总起句,概括后文的诸多益处,符合总分结构。故选D。
【18题详解】
根据上文“When drawing freely you use a pen or pencil attached to the brain by nerves and muscles.(当你随意作画时,你所使用的笔或铅笔是通过神经和肌肉与大脑相连的)”以及后文“Notebooking also releases imagination and helps understand things more clearly. Therefore, it’s a great way to gather ideas for stories and projects too.(笔记记录还能激发想象力,并有助于更清晰地理解事物。因此,它也是收集故事和项目相关想法的绝佳方式)”可知,前文提到“自由绘画时,笔通过神经和肌肉与大脑相连”,空格需承接这一动作的作用。选项E“这有助于揭示你脑海中潜藏的想法和感受”解释了“笔与大脑关联”的结果,与后文“释放想象力、更清晰理解事物”形成递进,符合逻辑。故选E。
【19题详解】
根据后文““I begin by making a mess,” says Almond. He recommends turning to a blank page and starting to scribble, doodle and write without being sure how it’s going to turn out. Using lots of color also helps your mind relax and your thoughts become clearer. “Instead of thinking, ‘I’ve got to come up with something really interesting, you just relax, play around and these thoughts come to life,” he says.(“我总是先把自己弄得一团糟,”阿尔蒙德说道。他建议大家先拿出一张空白纸,然后随意涂鸦、乱画、书写,不必事先考虑结果如何。大量使用色彩也有助于放松大脑,让思绪变得更加清晰。他说:“不要想着‘我得想出一些非常有趣的东西来’,而是放松下来,尽情发挥,这样这些想法就会变得鲜活起来。”)”可知,后文引用David Almond的建议(“从杂乱开始,自由涂鸦书写”“使用多种颜色”),核心是“如何开始笔记记录”。选项A“如何开始?”作为段落标题,精准概括后文的实操建议,与前文“是什么”“有何益处”形成逻辑递进(是什么→好处→如何做)。故选A。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Another good thing about notebooking is that no-one needs to see it. You don’t have to tell anyone what you’re doing.(记事本法的另一个好处是,没人会看到你的笔记。你无需向任何人说明你在做什么)”可知,前文强调“笔记记录无需他人查看,不必告知任何人”,核心是“自由无压力”。选项G“你可以尽情玩耍、随意涂鸦,发现自己真正感兴趣的事物”承接“无压力”的特点,与前文“不必强求想出有趣的内容,只需放松”呼应,符合David Almond对笔记记录“自由快乐”的定位。故选G。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国东莞玩具品牌拼酷将文化与产品结合走向全球,以及名创优品开拓国际市场的成就,并展望中国品牌的全球发展前景。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:拼酷,一家位于中国南方东莞的玩具品牌,其灵感来源于博物馆、文学和壁画,将独特的文化特色与其创意产品线相结合,赢得了国内外的认可。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰a toy brand,locate与逻辑主语a toy brand之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词located。故填located。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:拼酷,一家位于中国南方东莞的玩具品牌,其灵感来源于博物馆、文学和壁画,将独特的文化特色与其创意产品线相结合,赢得了国内外的认可。此处修饰动词winning,要用副词形式,domestic的副词为domestically,and连接domestically与abroad,构成“国内外”。故填domestically。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:据拼酷品牌经理熊茂介绍,该公司目前在100多个国家和地区销售产品,产品说明已被翻译成七种语言。translate...into...为固定搭配,意为“把……翻译成……”,此处表示产品说明被翻译成七种语言。故填into。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:熊说:“年轻一代希望有新的表达方式来呈现我们的文化。”他补充说,公司的目标是通过将中国文化融入产品设计,让更多人接受、体验并深入挖掘其背后的故事。enable sb. to do sth.为固定搭配,意为“使某人能够做某事”。故填to accept。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意:熊说:“该公司最受欢迎的产品之一‘凤冠’月销量达22万件,年收入超过1亿元。”此处修饰名词products,要用形容词形式,trend的形容词为trendy,意为“流行的、受欢迎的”。故填trendy。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意:熊说:“该公司最受欢迎的产品之一‘凤冠’月销量达22万件,年收入超过1亿元。”revenue为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,此处为泛指,且annual是以元音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词an。故填an。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:此外,2023年5月,连锁杂货店名创优品(在那里你可以购买家居和消费品)在纽约时代广场开设了一家门店,吸引了大量人群。此处为定语从句,先行词是a variety store chain,关系词在从句中作地点状语,所以用关系副词where。故填where。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:第一天销售额总计55万元,月收入接近1000万元。此处为谓语动词,结合上文“opened a store at New York’s Times Square in May 2023”可知,此处描述的是2023年5月门店开业第一天的情况,为过去发生的动作,要用一般过去时,total的过去式为totaled。故填totaled。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意:随着持续的努力和政策调整,中国品牌将更好地满足高质量产品的需求,应对品牌挑战,并在全球市场上塑造一个更加清晰的形象。此处连接并列成分continued efforts和policy adjustments,两者为并列关系,所以用连词and。故填and。
【45题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:随着持续的努力和政策调整,中国品牌将更好地满足高质量产品的需求,应对品牌挑战,并在全球市场上塑造一个更加清晰的形象。此处修饰名词image,且空前有much修饰,clear的比较级为clearer。故填clearer。

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。
Jack was always on his smartphone, scrolling through social media, playing games and chatting with friends. His mom, Mrs Turner, noticed that his grades had started to drop because he was spending too much time on his smartphone instead of focusing on his schoolwork. She had tried talking to him about it many times, but Jack didn’t listen. She knew she had to do something to help him, so one evening, she quietly took his smartphone and hid it in a drawer. She knew Jack would be upset, but she hoped it would help him get back on track with his studies.
The next morning, Jack rushed to find his smartphone but couldn’t find it anywhere. He searched his room, the kitchen, and even the living room, but it was gone. He felt depressed and angry. “Where is my smartphone?” he whispered. When he went downstairs for breakfast, his mom gave him a calm smile. “I think you might have misplaced it,” she said. Jack was puzzled but didn’t say anything. He left for school, feeling more upset than usual.
At school, Jack’s mind kept wandering to his smartphone. He couldn’t concentrate on his lessons, and he felt a little lost without it. During lunch, he found something unusual in his schoolbag. It was a small, handwritten card from his mom. It read, “Jack, I know it’s hard, but you’re capable of doing great things. Stay focused, work hard, and the results will follow. I believe in you.” Jack smiled to himself. He realized that his mom was only trying to help him, not punish him.
He realized that he had been wasting time, and without his smartphone, he could actually pay more attention to his schoolwork. He felt grateful for his mom’s action, even though it had upset him at first.

Over the next few weeks, Jack’s grades started to improve.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 After that, Jack began to feel more focused. He listened carefully in class, took detailed notes and actively answered the teacher’s questions. During breaks, instead of checking his smartphone, he talked with his classmates or reviewed his lessons. When he got home, he first finished his homework seriously, and then helped his mom with some housework. He even found time to read his favorite books, which he hadn’t done for a long time. He felt a sense of achievement he hadn’t experienced before.
Over the next few weeks, Jack’s grades started to improve. His math and English scores rose significantly, and his teachers praised him for his progress. One evening, his mom took out his smartphone and gave it back to him. “I’m proud of you,” she said. Jack thanked his mom and promised to use the smartphone properly. From then on, he balanced his study and smartphone use well, realizing that real happiness comes from hard work and growth, not endless screen time.
