That’s where this collection of the best travel camera equipment comes into play. The following items are the perfect base to any kit. Fujifilm X-T50 Camera Nat Geo’s in-house photo engineering team named the Fujifilm X-T50 the best camera for travel for its great film simulations and clear visuals. They also spoke highly of the straight-from-the-camera clear JPG images that barely require editing. The travel-friendly camera weighs just under a pound, but it captures (拍摄) professional- level images. Petzl Tikka Headlamp Bettymaya Foott spends much of her time photographing at night, and she thinks highly of her Petzl Tikka Headlamp. Some of the features include the red-light capabilities, which preserve night vision; the long battery life; and the comfortable strap. Additionally, it alternates between settings with one single button. Peak Design Travel Tripod Whether you’re capturing the northern lights or recording an interview, you need a travel tripod to keep your camera steady. Chicago-based travel journalist Yulia recommends Peak Design Travel Tripod. “It’s lightweight and packs well,” she says. The carbon fiber model weighs just under three pounds and can fold down to the size of a water bottle. GoPro Hero 13 Black Camera The GoPro Hero 13 Black Camera captures 5K video at 60p or 4K at 120p- perfect for slowing down footage without losing quality. It lets you capture 24.7- megapixel stills from each video, which means you don’t have to decide between filming and photographing the action. Its battery can last 2.5 hours of continuous shooting. It’s also waterproof down to 33 feet. 21. What can be learned about the recommended items? A. The GoPro Hero 13 Black Camera can be used underwater. B. The Peak Design Travel Tripod is affordable for interviewers. C. The Fujifilm X-T50 Camera is the lightest camera in the market. D. The Petzl Tikka Headlamp helps see distant objects with no button. 22. Which of the following is foldable? A. Fujifilm X-T50 Camera. B. Petzl Tikka Headlamp. C. Peak Design Travel Tripod. D. GoPro Hero 13 Black Camera. 23. Where is this text possibly taken from? A. A travel handbook. B An equipment collection. C. A camera advertisement. D. A photography magazine. B Last Sunday afternoon, overcome by a sense of boredom, I instantly got out of bed, went out and headed towards a newly launched pet cafe. Upon entering, I was immediately enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and endearing charm. Soft miaows filled the air, and dozens of fluffy cats roamed freely around the cosy space, playing with toys or napping on cushioned shelves. After ordering a steaming cup of coffee, I settled into a seat by the sunlit window. Almost instantly, a small, snow-white cat with striking blue eyes seemed to be drawn to me. With effortless grace, it leapt onto the table, sniffed my coffee curiously, and then settled down on my lap, purring contentedly. I couldn’t help but start gently stroking its soft fur, with a faint smile tugging at my lips. While enjoying the cat’s company, I struck up a lively conversation with another customer, Lily. She told me that she frequented the café to unwind and that she had cultivated numerous friendships here, both human and feline (猫的). We exchanged anecdotes about our most amusing pet-related mischief (恶作剧), our laughter blending harmoniously with the café’s quiet and peaceful background. Before I left, the café owner, Mrs Thompson, presented me with a tiny handcrafted keychain with a delicate feline pattern. “Thank you for bringing so much joy to our furry friends today,” she said with a genuine smile. Stepping back onto the bustling streets, I was struck by a profound realisation — this impromptu (即兴的) visit had transformed my dull day into an unforgettable and soul-nourishing episode. It was not only about the cats that had delighted me; it was about the unexpected connections and understated yet sheer pleasures that life, in its unpredictability, could offer. 24. Why did the author go to the pet café? A. She had an appointment with Lily. B. She wanted to adopt a pet. C. She felt bored at home. D. She was stressed with housework. 25. What happened during the author’s visit to the café? A. She napped on cushioned shelves. B. A fluffy cat stayed on her lap. C. Lily came to avoid the outdoor wind. D. The café owner gifted her a café chain. 26. What can we infer about the café from the third paragraph? A. It organises regular activities for customers. B. It is a top choice to escape from everyday work. C. It is a wonderful place for coffee-lovers to gather. D. It helps people build various types of relationships. 27. What is a suitable title for the text? A. My Passion for Lovely Cats B. The Popularity of Pet Cafés in the City C. Observing Feline Friends in a Pet Café D. Unexpected Joy Found in a Pet Café C When you look at the colorful rows of fruits and vegetables in the grocery store, you might think you’re getting all the nutrients you need. But recent studies show that today’s crops have fewer nutrients than what our grandparents ate decades ago. This decline is alarming and could affect our health in the future. Over the past 70 years, many fruits, vegetables, and grains have lost significant amounts of protein, calcium, iron, and vitamins. A review in the journal Foods in 2024 called this a major challenge for future generations. This is especially important as more people are encouraged to eat plant-based diets for health and environmental reasons. David Montgomery, a professor at the University of Washington, warns that this nutrient decline means our food is less effective at preventing chronic (慢性的) diseases. Even if you eat lots of fresh produce, what you’re eating today is less nutritious than what your grandparents ate, says Kristie Ebi, an expert in climate change and health. The problem lies in modern farming practices. Methods that increase crop harvest often harm soil health. Irrigation, fertilization, and harvesting prevent the natural interactions between plants and soil fungi (真菌), reducing nutrient absorption. Climate change and rising carbon dioxide levels also play a role in lowering nutrient content. A major study in 2004 found that 43 garden crops had less protein, calcium, iron, and vitamin C compared to 50 years earlier. More recent studies show similar trends in Australian vegetables and wheat, with significant drops in iron and protein. This nutrient decline affects not just plant-based diets but also meat. Animals now eat less nutritious grasses and grains, making meat and dairy products less nutritious too. Scientists urge us not to worry too much but to pay attention to how our food is grown. Montgomery says understanding the impact of farming practices gives us a new reason. As the population grows, we need to protect and restore our farmland to ensure healthy food for everyone. 28. Why does the author mention what our grandparents ate? A. To criticize modern diets. B. To compare farming costs. C. To highlight nutrient loss. D. To promote traditional recipes. 29. What does Montgomery reveal about modern farming practices? A. They put soil health first. B. They improve crop variety. C. They reduce carbon dioxide. D. They ruin disease prevention. 30. What is scientists’ advice about nutrient decline? A. Caring about agriculture. B. Focusing on food quantity. C. Avoiding plant-based diets. D. Eating less processed foods. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. The decrease of nutrients in crops. B. The consequence of plant-based diets. C. The worsening health conditions of humans. D. The big problems of modern farming practices. D There are positive effects of having deep conversations with strangers, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. “Connecting with others in meaningful ways tends to make people happier, and yet people also seem reluctant to engage in deeper and more meaningful conversations,” said Nicholas Epley, a professor of behavioural science at the University of Chicago. “This struck us as an interesting social paradox: If connecting with others in deep and meaningful ways increases well-being, then why aren’t people doing it more often in daily life?” To answer that question, Epley and his colleagues designed several experiments, where pairs of people — mainly strangers — were asked to discuss either relatively deep or shallow topics. Before the conversations, participants predicted how awkward they thought the conversations would be, how connected they thought they would feel to their conversation partner and how much they would enjoy the conversations. Afterwards, they rated how awkward the conversations actually were, how connected they actually felt and how much enjoyment they actually experienced. Generally, the researchers found that both deep and shallow conversations felt less awkward and led to greater feelings of connectedness and enjoyment than the participants had expected. That effect tended to be stronger for deep conversations. If deep conversations are better, then why aren’t people actually having more of them? The researchers suspected it might be because people underestimate how interested strangers are in learning about their deeper thoughts and feelings. In some of the experiments, the researchers asked participants to predict how interested their conversation partner would be in the discussion, and then afterwards to indicate how interested their partner actually was in the discussion. On average, people consistently underestimated how interested their partners would be in learning about them. “People seemed to imagine that revealing something meaningful about themselves in conversation would be met with blank stares and silence, only to find this wasn’t true in the actual conversation,” Epley said. “Human beings are deeply social and tend to respond in conversation. If you share something important, you are likely to get something important exchanged in return, leading to a considerably better conversation.” 32. What does the underlined word “paradox” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Complication. B. Coherence. C. Transformation. D. Contradiction. 33. What do we know about the experiments? A. Not all the topics discussed were deep ones. B. The experiments were carried out on a regular basis. C. Most of the participants are familiar with each other. D. The participants made predictions while in conversation. 34. According to the study, what actually holds back deep conversations between strangers? A. Depth of the topic. B. People’s prediction. C. People’s interest. D. Consistency of the talk. 35. What may the text advocate? A. Giving active responses in conversation. B. Making safe predictions in communication. C. Engaging in more conversations to be sociable. D. Striking up in-depth conversations with strangers. 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。 Rejection creates an emotional roller coaster (过山车). We feel the sadness, anger, and loss of the person who rejects us. ___36___ This is why getting over a rejection is challenging. While there is no quick fix, the following suggestions can help us overcome the confusion and ease the pain of rejection. Use the power of breath. ___37___ And each one affects the others. Deep breaths help us absorb the feelings and restore a sense of calm. Mindful breathing is one of the most powerful and accessible resources for self-regulation, relaxation, and overall well-being. We can also use breath to move our attention from disturbing thoughts back to ourselves. Note it down in a journal. Journaling provides a safe place without fear of misunderstanding. In moments of sadness and loss, the weight of emotions can be very great. ___38___ It allows us to explore our thoughts, feelings, and memories, process our experiences and find relief in pain.

When we support others, especially during difficult times, something within also starts to heal (愈合) and grow. ___39___ When we connect with people who are less fortunate, we start to realize that our pain is less significant. Giving to others also empowers us. It gives us a sense of self-worth and moves us away from the hurt. Getting over a rejection is hard. However, your pain won’t last forever. It is there to make you grow. Everyone heals from rejection at their own pace in their own way. We are all suffering in one way or another at one time or another. We must have pity for ourselves and accept that reality.

I was still recovering from an operation. “Mom, let’s play,” Mateo looked at me and said. Trying hard to ignore the pain in my stomach, I shook my head and replied, “Not today, sweetie.” These days, getting out of bed was a real struggle for me. I longed for strength and happiness, yet the future seemed so hopeless. All of a sudden, Mateo jumped up from where he was sitting on the kitchen floor. He shouted, “Bird!” and then ran towards our courtyard. I looked in the direction he was looking and, sure enough, there was a white dove (鸽子) landing in a rubber tree. It stayed there for a little while and then flew away. It was quite odd because I’d never seen a white dove in our neighborhood before. The next morning, I dragged myself into the kitchen. To my surprise, the dove was back, and this time it had a mate carrying some sticks. I pointed to the tree and said to Mateo, “Look, they’re going to build a nest.” Throughout the week, the doves flew in and out of the courtyard, building their nest on top of the rubber tree. Mateo was extremely excited. Every morning, he would rush into the kitchen and stand by the sliding glass door. He would talk to the birds as they worked. His joy was influential. Although feeling sad, I couldn’t help but look forward to the doves’ visits. However, things took a turn for the worse. The courtyard seemed like a safe place for a nest, but the rubber tree’s small branches were not stable at all. One night, a strong wind blew, and the doves’ nest was blown to the ground. I heard the small branches break. I checked the damage. Nothing good ever lasts. I wouldn’t blame the doves if they never came back. But they returned. They didn’t even look at the pile of sticks that used to be their nest. They started building all over again. Unfortunately, the wind destroyed their work again. But day after day, they kept starting again as if nothing had occurred. 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。 I realized that I should take some measures. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Look!

Upon entering, I was immediately enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and endearing charm. Soft miaows filled the air, and dozens of fluffy cats roamed freely around the cosy space, playing with toys or napping on cushioned shelves. After ordering a steaming cup of coffee, I settled into a seat by the sunlit window. Almost instantly, a small, snow-white cat with striking blue eyes seemed to be drawn to me. With effortless grace, it leapt onto the table, sniffed my coffee curiously, and then settled down on my lap, purring contentedly. I couldn’t help but start gently stroking its soft fur, with a faint smile tugging at my lips. While enjoying the cat’s company, I struck up a lively conversation with another customer, Lily. She told me that she frequented the café to unwind and that she had cultivated numerous friendships here, both human and feline (猫的). We exchanged anecdotes about our most amusing pet-related mischief (恶作剧), our laughter blending harmoniously with the café’s quiet and peaceful background. Before I left, the café owner, Mrs Thompson, presented me with a tiny handcrafted keychain with a delicate feline pattern. “Thank you for bringing so much joy to our furry friends today,” she said with a genuine smile. Stepping back onto the bustling streets, I was struck by a profound realisation — this impromptu (即兴的) visit had transformed my dull day into an unforgettable and soul-nourishing episode. It was not only about the cats that had delighted me; it was about the unexpected connections and understated yet sheer pleasures that life, in its unpredictability, could offer. 24. Why did the author go to the pet café? A. She had an appointment with Lily. B. She wanted to adopt a pet. C. She felt bored at home. D. She was stressed with housework. 25. What happened during the author’s visit to the café? A. She napped on cushioned shelves. B. A fluffy cat stayed on her lap. C. Lily came to avoid the outdoor wind. D. The café owner gifted her a café chain. 26. What can we infer about the café from the third paragraph? A. It organises regular activities for customers. B. It is a top choice to escape from everyday work. C. It is a wonderful place for coffee-lovers to gather. D. It helps people build various types of relationships. 27. What is a suitable title for the text? A. My Passion for Lovely Cats B. The Popularity of Pet Cafés in the City C. Observing Feline Friends in a Pet Café D. Unexpected Joy Found in a Pet Café 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者去了一家新开的宠物咖啡馆，在那里与一只可爱的猫咪互动，并与另一位顾客莉莉愉快交谈，离开时还收到了咖啡馆老板的小礼物，这次即兴的参观让作者的一天变得难忘且滋养心灵。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Last Sunday afternoon, overcome by a sense of boredom, I instantly got out of bed, went out and headed towards a newly launched pet cafe.(上周日下午，我感到一阵无聊，立刻从床上爬起来，出门前往一家新开的宠物咖啡馆。)”可知，作者去宠物咖啡馆是因为在家感到无聊。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Almost instantly, a small, snow-white cat with striking blue eyes seemed to be drawn to me. With effortless grace, it leapt onto the table, sniffed my coffee curiously, and then settled down on my lap, purring contentedly.(几乎立刻，一只雪白的小猫，有着引人注目的蓝眼睛，似乎被我吸引了。它轻盈地跳上桌子，好奇地嗅了嗅我的咖啡，然后安心地趴在我的腿上，满足地打着呼噜。)”可知，在作者访问咖啡馆期间，一只毛茸茸的猫待在了她的腿上。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“She told me that she frequented the café to unwind and that she had cultivated numerous friendships here, both human and feline (猫的).(她告诉我，她经常来这家咖啡馆放松，并且在这里结交了许多朋友，包括人类和猫类的朋友。)”可知，这家咖啡馆帮助人们建立了各种类型的关系。故选D。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段中“Stepping back onto the bustling streets, I was struck by a profound realisation—this impromptu (即兴的) visit had transformed my dull day into an unforgettable and soul-nourishing episode.(当我再次踏上熙熙攘攘的街道时，我突然意识到一个深刻的道理——这次即兴参观把我无聊的一天变成了一段难忘且滋养心灵的经历。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者在一个无聊的周日下午去了一家新开的宠物咖啡馆，在那里与一只可爱的猫咪互动，并与另一位顾客莉莉愉快交谈，离开时还收到了咖啡馆老板的小礼物，这次即兴的访问让作者的一天变得难忘且滋养心灵。因此，D选项“在宠物咖啡馆中发现的意外之喜”最符合文章主旨。故选D。 C When you look at the colorful rows of fruits and vegetables in the grocery store, you might think you’re getting all the nutrients you need. But recent studies show that today’s crops have fewer nutrients than what our grandparents ate decades ago. This decline is alarming and could affect our health in the future. Over the past 70 years, many fruits, vegetables, and grains have lost significant amounts of protein, calcium, iron, and vitamins. A review in the journal Foods in 2024 called this a major challenge for future generations. This is especially important as more people are encouraged to eat plant-based diets for health and environmental reasons. David Montgomery, a professor at the University of Washington, warns that this nutrient decline means our food is less effective at preventing chronic (慢性的) diseases. Even if you eat lots of fresh produce, what you’re eating today is less nutritious than what your grandparents ate, says Kristie Ebi, an expert in climate change and health. The problem lies in modern farming practices. Methods that increase crop harvest often harm soil health. Irrigation, fertilization, and harvesting prevent the natural interactions between plants and soil fungi (真菌), reducing nutrient absorption. Climate change and rising carbon dioxide levels also play a role in lowering nutrient content. A major study in 2004 found that 43 garden crops had less protein, calcium, iron, and vitamin C compared to 50 years earlier. More recent studies show similar trends in Australian vegetables and wheat, with significant drops in iron and protein. This nutrient decline affects not just plant-based diets but also meat. Animals now eat less nutritious grasses and grains, making meat and dairy products less nutritious too. Scientists urge us not to worry too much but to pay attention to how our food is grown. Montgomery says understanding the impact of farming practices gives us a new reason. As the population grows, we need to protect and restore our farmland to ensure healthy food for everyone. 28. Why does the author mention what our grandparents ate? A. To criticize modern diets. B. To compare farming costs. C. To highlight nutrient loss. D. To promote traditional recipes. 29. What does Montgomery reveal about modern farming practices? A. They put soil health first. B. They improve crop variety. C. They reduce carbon dioxide. D. They ruin disease prevention. 30. What is scientists’ advice about nutrient decline? A. Caring about agriculture. B. Focusing on food quantity. C. Avoiding plant-based diets. D. Eating less processed foods. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. The decrease of nutrients in crops. B. The consequence of plant-based diets. C. The worsening health conditions of humans. D. The big problems of modern farming practices. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个令人担忧的现象：近几十年来，农作物的营养成分含量大幅下降，而造成这一现象的主要原因是现代农业耕作方式，同时这种营养下降还会影响到肉类和奶制品的营养价值。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“But recent studies show that today’s crops have fewer nutrients than what our grandparents ate decades ago. This decline is alarming and could affect our health in the future.(但最近的研究表明，如今的农作物所含的营养物质比我们祖父母几十年前吃的要少。这种下降令人担忧，并可能在未来影响我们的健康)”可推知，作者提及祖父母那一代的食物，是为了通过对比突出如今农作物的营养流失问题。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“David Montgomery, a professor at the University of Washington, warns that this nutrient decline means our food is less effective at preventing chronic diseases.(华盛顿大学教授大卫·蒙哥马利警告说，这种营养成分的下降意味着我们的食物在预防慢性疾病方面的效果变差了)”以及第四段中“The problem lies in modern farming practices.(问题在于现代农业耕作方式)”可知，蒙哥马利指出现代农业耕作方式导致了食物营养流失，进而削弱了食物预防疾病的作用。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Scientists urge us not to worry too much but to pay attention to how our food is grown.(科学家们敦促我们不必过于担心，但要关注我们的食物是如何种植的)”可知，科学家针对营养流失问题给出的建议是关注农业耕作方式。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“But recent studies show that today’s crops have fewer nutrients than what our grandparents ate decades ago. This decline is alarming and could affect our health in the future.(但最近的研究表明，如今的农作物所含的营养物质比我们祖父母几十年前吃的要少。这种下降令人担忧，并可能在未来影响我们的健康)”以及全文围绕农作物营养含量下降展开分析原因、影响和建议可知，本文主旨是农作物的营养成分减少这一现象。故选A。 D There are positive effects of having deep conversations with strangers, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. “Connecting with others in meaningful ways tends to make people happier, and yet people also seem reluctant to engage in deeper and more meaningful conversations,” said Nicholas Epley, a professor of behavioural science at the University of Chicago. “This struck us as an interesting social paradox: If connecting with others in deep and meaningful ways increases well-being, then why aren’t people doing it more often in daily life?” To answer that question, Epley and his colleagues designed several experiments, where pairs of people — mainly strangers — were asked to discuss either relatively deep or shallow topics. Before the conversations, participants predicted how awkward they thought the conversations would be, how connected they thought they would feel to their conversation partner and how much they would enjoy the conversations. Afterwards, they rated how awkward the conversations actually were, how connected they actually felt and how much enjoyment they actually experienced. Generally, the researchers found that both deep and shallow conversations felt less awkward and led to greater feelings of connectedness and enjoyment than the participants had expected. That effect tended to be stronger for deep conversations. If deep conversations are better, then why aren’t people actually having more of them? The researchers suspected it might be because people underestimate how interested strangers are in learning about their deeper thoughts and feelings. In some of the experiments, the researchers asked participants to predict how interested their conversation partner would be in the discussion, and then afterwards to indicate how interested their partner actually was in the discussion. On average, people consistently underestimated how interested their partners would be in learning about them. “People seemed to imagine that revealing something meaningful about themselves in conversation would be met with blank stares and silence, only to find this wasn’t true in the actual conversation,” Epley said. “Human beings are deeply social and tend to respond in conversation. If you share something important, you are likely to get something important exchanged in return, leading to a considerably better conversation.” 32. What does the underlined word “paradox” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Complication. B. Coherence. C. Transformation. D. Contradiction. 33. What do we know about the experiments? A. Not all the topics discussed were deep ones. B. The experiments were carried out on a regular basis. C. Most of the participants are familiar with each other. D. The participants made predictions while in conversation. 34. According to the study, what actually holds back deep conversations between strangers? A. Depth of the topic. B. People’s prediction. C. People’s interest. D. Consistency of the talk. 35. What may the text advocate? A. Giving active responses in conversation. B. Making safe predictions in communication. C Engaging in more conversations to be sociable. D. Striking up in-depth conversations with strangers. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了与陌生人进行深度对话的积极影响，以及人们为何不愿进行此类对话的原因，并鼓励人们尝试与陌生人进行深度交流。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Connecting with others in meaningful ways tends to make people happier, and yet people also seem reluctant to engage in deeper and more meaningful conversations(以有意义的方式与他人建立联系往往能让人更快乐，然而人们似乎也不愿意进行更深层次、更有意义的对话)”以及“This struck us as an interesting social paradox: If connecting with others in deep and meaningful ways increases well-being, then why aren’t people doing it more often in daily life?(这在我们看来是一个有趣的社会paradox：如果以深刻而有意义的方式与他人建立联系能增加幸福感，那么为什么人们在日常生活中不经常这样做呢？)”可知，以有意义的方式与他人建立联系往往能让人更快乐，然而人们似乎也不愿意进行更深层次、更有意义的对话，这是一个矛盾的现象，即悖论。故paradox意思是“矛盾”。A. Complication复杂化；B. Coherence连贯性；C. Transformation转变；D. Contradiction矛盾。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“To answer that question, Epley and his colleagues designed several experiments, where pairs of people—mainly strangers—were asked to discuss either relatively deep or shallow topics.(为了回答这个问题，Epley和他的同事设计了几个实验，让成对的人——主要是陌生人——讨论相对深刻或肤浅的话题)”可知，实验中讨论的话题不都是深刻的。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“The researchers suspected it might be because people underestimate how interested strangers are in learning about their deeper thoughts and feelings.(研究人员怀疑，这可能是因为人们低估了陌生人对他们更深层次的想法和感受的兴趣)”以及“On average, people consistently underestimated how interested their partners would be in learning about them.(平均而言，人们总是低估他们的对话伙伴对了解他们的兴趣)”可知，根据这项研究，实际上阻碍陌生人间深入对话的是人们的预测。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“Human beings are deeply social and tend to respond in conversation. If you share something important, you are likely to get something important exchanged in return, leading to a considerably better conversation.(人类是高度社会化的动物，倾向于在对话中做出回应。如果你分享一些重要的东西，你很可能会得到一些重要的东西作为回报，从而使对话变得更好)”可知，文章主要说明了与陌生人进行深度对话的积极影响，以及人们为何不愿进行此类对话的原因，并鼓励人们尝试与陌生人进行深度交流。可推知，文章可能主张与陌生人进行深入的对话。故选D。 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。 Rejection creates an emotional roller coaster (过山车).

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】had been submitted 【解析】 【详解】考查时态和语态。句意：到上周为止，所有作业都已在线提交，这使得学生们能及时收到老师的反馈。by last week（到上周为止）是过去完成时的标志，强调动作在过去某个时间之前已经完成；assignments（作业）与submit（提交）之间是被动关系，即作业被提交，所以要用过去完成时的被动语态，结构为“had been +过去分词”。故填had been submitted。 61.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】was being rebuilt 【解析】 【详解】考查动词语态。句意：他们目前和父母住在一起，因为他们自己的房子正在重建。他们本希望早点完工。house与rebuild为被动关系，且由“for the moment”和语境可知，这里指动作过去正在进行，应用过去进行时的被动语态，谓语用was being rebuilt。故填was being rebuilt。 62.

I was still recovering from an operation. “Mom, let’s play,” Mateo looked at me and said. Trying hard to ignore the pain in my stomach, I shook my head and replied, “Not today, sweetie.” These days, getting out of bed was a real struggle for me. I longed for strength and happiness, yet the future seemed so hopeless. All of a sudden, Mateo jumped up from where he was sitting on the kitchen floor. He shouted, “Bird!” and then ran towards our courtyard. I looked in the direction he was looking and, sure enough, there was a white dove (鸽子) landing in a rubber tree. It stayed there for a little while and then flew away. It was quite odd because I’d never seen a white dove in our neighborhood before. The next morning, I dragged myself into the kitchen. To my surprise, the dove was back, and this time it had a mate carrying some sticks. I pointed to the tree and said to Mateo, “Look, they’re going to build a nest.” Throughout the week, the doves flew in and out of the courtyard, building their nest on top of the rubber tree. Mateo was extremely excited. Every morning, he would rush into the kitchen and stand by the sliding glass door. He would talk to the birds as they worked. His joy was influential. Although feeling sad, I couldn’t help but look forward to the doves’ visits. However, things took a turn for the worse. The courtyard seemed like a safe place for a nest, but the rubber tree’s small branches were not stable at all. One night, a strong wind blew, and the doves’ nest was blown to the ground. I heard the small branches break. I checked the damage. Nothing good ever lasts. I wouldn’t blame the doves if they never came back. But they returned. They didn’t even look at the pile of sticks that used to be their nest. They started building all over again. Unfortunately, the wind destroyed their work again. But day after day, they kept starting again as if nothing had occurred. 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。 I realized that I should take some measures. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Look! The birds have returned!” Mateo shouted. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】示例： I realized that I should take some measures. Having given me comfort in my darkest times, the doves deserved my help in return. I searched around the house carefully, found some pieces of wood and made a solid wooden nest for them. With a lot of effort and care, I managed to climb up a ladder, attached the nest to the rubber tree and covered it with some leaves. It was a challenging job, but the doves’ determination gave me the confidence and strength. After finishing the work, Mateo and I stood by the sliding glass door, waiting and watching with patience. “Look! The birds have returned!” Mateo shouted. Hearing my son’s excited voice, clear as a bell, I looked up. The doves were circling near the nest happily and seemed to be satisfied with the new home. They started to bring small branches and soft feathers right away. Several weeks later, four babies came out of the eggs. The young birds developed day by day, and around a month later, they were fully grown and could fly. As watching them fly high and hearing them sing, I felt more positive and hopeful. The doves taught me to face difficulties bravely and keep moving forward. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了作者术后身体不适、心情低落时，和儿子看到一对白鸽子来院里筑巢。巢两次被风吹毁，鸽子却坚持重建，作者被其精神打动，为它们做巢。最终鸽子孵出幼鸟，作者也重拾积极和希望。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我意识到我应该采取一些措施。”可知，第一段可描写作者为鸽子制作巢穴并安置好的过程，体现作者的努力与付出。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘看！鸟儿们回来了！’Mateo喊道。”可知，第二段可描写鸽子回到巢穴后的反应，以及它们繁衍后代、成长飞翔的情景，最后作者从中获得的感悟。 2.续写线索： 制作巢穴——安置巢穴——等待鸽子归来——鸽子满意新家——繁衍后代——成长飞翔——感悟道理 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①安置巢穴：attach the nest to.../fix the nest on... ②完成：finish/complete/accomplish ③面对困难：face difficulties/confront challenges 情绪类 ①兴奋：excited/thrilled/exhilarated ②满意：be satisfied with/be content with 【点睛】[高分句型1] After finishing the work, Mateo and I stood by the sliding glass door, waiting and watching with patience.（句中使用动名词finishing作宾语，以及现在分词waiting和watching作状语） [高分句型2] As watching them fly high and hearing them sing, I felt more positive and hopeful.（句中使用状语从句的省略结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
