As a young girl, Ayshah grew up fascinated by the world of beauty.
She had a hole in her heart — a medical condition she was born with. Ayshah’s mother was especially protective of her because of her health condition, but encouraged her to pursue her dreams. When Ayshah finished high school, the most appealing option at her local technical college was training to become a make-up artist. So, she signed up for the three-year course.
While studying, Ayshah suffered the loss of her mother, which led the 21-year-old to become the primary supporter for her father, who was suffering from kidney failure, as well as for her younger sister and brother. “From that moment on, I knew I had to turn from being dependent to becoming stronger,” she says.
In three years, Ayshah completed her course at the technical college, along with her training. Then a friend told her about the opening of Roseyar, an Aramco initiative that supports local women by training and employing them at the rose factory in Taif, where she lives.
Taif is the heart of the rose-growing industry in western Saudi Arabia. Known as the Taif rose, these flowers are prized for their intense smell and are used by the world’s leading perfume makers. With nearly 900 rose farms, Taif has a centuries-old tradition of rose growing, and the roses are harvested to produce some of the world’s most expensive rose oil.
Ayshah joined Roseyar and trained as a production technician, using the oil of Taif roses to make cosmetic products. She reconnected with the cosmetic industry she loved as a child. “I truly love knowing that I am contributing to making something so beautiful,” she says.
The job at Roseyar has enabled Ayshah to meet her various responsibilities while being surrounded by the sweet smell of the Taif rose. “I’ve been able to balance having my medical treatment for my heart condition, supporting my family financially and providing for myself — I was even able to buy a car,” she says.
4. Why did Ayshah study at her local technical college?
A. She had health problems. B. She had to look after her father.
C. She was able to learn what she loves. D. She was eager to earn a high income in the future.
5. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A. The Roseyar project. B. The Taif rose industry.
C. The production of perfumes. D. The characteristics of Taif roses.
6. Which of the following best describes Ayshah?
A. Ambitious and responsible. B. Talented and determined.
C. Reliable and generous. D. Devoted and modest.
7. What does Ayshah think of her being part of Roseyar?
A. It’s rewarding. B. It’s demanding.
C. It’s a stepping stone to her dream. D. It opens up new opportunities for her.
C
Why climb Mount Qomolangma? “Because it’s there” George Mallory famously said.
In Mick Conefrey’s writings, where he explores the charm of high mountains through the perspective of George Mallory and the ill-fated 1924 expedition to Mount Qomolangma, he writes that the three words are “both the simplest and the most enigmatic (神秘的) explanation of the lure (吸引力) of high mountains.” However, Mount Qomolangma, as it stands today, appears less enigmatic and arguably less alluring. Each spring, several tons of rubbish are removed from this high-altitude tourist destination.
Mount Qomolangma that Mallory explored in the 1920s had less waste and more romance. The climbing equipment was basic: the ropes were like threads compared to modern nylon ones, and the wool clothing and boots were heavier and far less effective than modern specialized climbing gear (装备). Mr. Conefrey also notes: Mallory and his team “took risks that many of today’s climbers would find unacceptable.”
Weighing the available evidence, Mr. Conerey considers it “hard to imagine” that Mallory reached the summit (峰顶).
The rock wall that stood in Mallory’s way is now strung with fixed ropes and features a ladder attached to it. Though it’s not exactly a walk in the park, many inexperienced climbers get up and over it every year. Will Cockrell’s book seeks to explain how this came to be.
His account begins with Dick Bass, a 55-year-old Texas oilman who became the first private citizen to reach the peak of Mount Qomolangma. Experienced climbers helped Bass and others reach the summit in exchange for a free trip, thereby gaining experience that enabled them to set up commercial operations on Mount Qomolangma. They market themselves to rich adventurers, charge for their services and assume responsibility for whomever they take up the mountain.
The market advantage on Mount Qomolangma these days is all about efficiency: getting more people up the mountain in less time. Boundaries are being pushed, in ways both impressive and troubling. Perhaps it’s to Mr. Cockrell’s credit as a journalist that he appears mostly undisturbed (未受打扰的) by these developments. This is, after all, the way things are. For the moment, then, it looks as though every possible business opportunity will be grasped, “because it’s there.”
8. Which of the following can best describe the climbers of Mount Qomolangma in the 1920s?
A. Poorly equipped but daring. B. Physically strong and fashionable.
C. Environmentally friendly and creative. D. Economically disadvantaged but romantic.
9. What can we learn about Mount Qomolangma in paragraph 5?
A. A rock wall there has been removed. B. A park is planned to be built there.
C. It inspired several famous books. D. It is easier to climb nowadays.
10. How does Will Cockrell describe Mount Qomolangma in his book?
A. It has become a free tourist attraction.
B It is less attractive to experienced climbers.
C. Sending people to its summit has become a big business.
D. Climbing it is becoming accessible to common people.
11. What is Mr. Cockrell’s attitude to the current practices on Mount Qomolangma?
A. Optimistic. B. Objective. C. Disapproving. D. Concerned.
D
Robert Campbell, a 68-year-old retired teacher from Glasgow, has lived with type 2 diabetes (糖尿病) for a decade. Recently, worrying blurriness in his vision pushed him to seek a screening (筛查) for diabetic retinopathy — a diabetes-related eye disease that causes blindness. Traditionally, he would have faced a long wait for a specialist appointment within Scotland’s National Health Service.
His local clinic, however, was part of a new pilot program using an AI-powered platform for eye disease called “RetinaScan AI”. The process was simple: a staff member took a photograph of Robert’s retina (视网膜). Within minutes, the system provided an automated assessment, detecting subtle signs of the disease with remarkable accuracy. This initiative effectively solved the traditional bottleneck, bringing expert-level screening directly to the community.
The technology is built on deep learning. The AI was trained on hundreds of thousands of retinal images previously labeled by eye doctors. Through this process, it learned to identify critical indicators of diabetic eye disease with a consistency unaffected by human beings. Its primary role is screening: efficiently identifying healthy patients and flagging those, like Robert, who require urgent specialist care.
“Platforms like RetinaScan AI are game-changers,” explains Dr. Eleanor Reed, a consultant eye doctor. “They don’t replace our expertise; they enhance it. By handling a great deal of initial screening workload, they ensure that human specialists can focus their skills on complex diagnoses (诊断) and treatment planning, ultimately preventing preventable vision loss.”
The Glasgow pilot has already contributed to promising results. In its first six months the program successfully screened over 5,000 patients, cutting average wait times for screening from 12 weeks to just days. More importantly, it has accurately flagged hundreds of at-risk individuals, like Robert, for early intervention, demonstrating a meaningful impact on patient outcomes.
Robert Campbell’s story is just the first chapter. This pilot program paves the way for AI technology to expand globally, reaching millions who need these vital screenings.
12. What problem did Robert Campbell face before the AI program was introduced?
A. He could hardly afford the screening.
B. His local clinic lacked the necessary equipment.
C. He had to wait long for a specialist appointment.
D. He was found to have a rare diabetic eye disease.
13. What is the main advantage of “RetinaScan AI” according to the text?
A. It is part of a new pilot program.
B. It replaces the need for human doctors.
C. It provides immediate treatment for patients.
D. It offers accurate and more accessible screening in communities.
14. Why does Dr Eleanor Reed call AI platforms “game-changers”?
A. They manage initial screenings. B. They work like specialists.
C. They finally avoid vision loss. D. They treat complex diseases.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. What Could AI benefit Humans? B. How is AI Transforming Eye Care?
C. Is AI the Doctor’s Newest Assistant? D. Can AI Systems See More Than Doctors?

Looking to improve your relationships with your family members? Learn how emotional intelligence (EQ) is your most effective tool for overcoming rifts (不利) and strengthening bonds. Here are five tips for improving family relationships.
____16____ Lack of communication is the loudest complaint in most families. The answer to “Why won’t they listen to me?” may be simply “You’re not listening to them.”
Practice generosity by both giving and receiving. ____17____ If we only focus on giving without being able to accept, we limit our ability to truly connect with others.

Don’t try to solve problems for your loved ones. Caring for your family doesn’t mean taking charge of their problems, giving unsolicited (未经请求的) advice, or protecting them from their own emotions. ____19____
Acknowledge your errors to everyone. Saying you’re sorry when you hurt someone you love models humility (谦虚) and emotional integrity. ____20____ Apologizing proves you can forgive yourself and makes it easier to forgive others.

C. Recognize that both actions are part of a loving relationship.

57. 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。
When I was four, my seven-year-old brother received a baseball mitt (棒球手套) for his birthday. Every night, as we went to sleep, I’d listen to him throwing a ball into the mitt over and over to soften the leather (皮革). When he was finally sleepy, he’d put the ball in the mitt, wrap (包裹) a rubber band around it, and put it under his pillow to shape the leather even more. I wanted a mitt too. But, back then, girls didn’t play sports; they played with dolls.
Now a thirty-year-old mother of three, I happened to see a notice in my local paper: “Women’s Slow-Pitch Softball League opens soon. Anyone interested, sign up at the recreation (娱乐) center.” I cut it out and set it on the kitchen counter. I looked at that notice on my counter every day. I thought of a thousand reasons I couldn’t play. But the idea of playing baseball stuck in my head and wouldn’t go away. Finally, I signed up at the recreation center. Then, the notice came to report to James Park on Monday night to begin practice.
On Monday, I walked through the park filled with women of all ages practicing at different diamonds (棒球场的内场). It took me a while to find my team. They were all high-school girls, seventeen and eighteen years old! The coach wasn’t happy to see me. But I didn’t care. That first day, I never got a chance to bat (击球) or play the field. I just ran bases (跑垒) all night. The next morning, I could barely stand. I was still feeling hurt when I showed up to play the next week. The coach was surprised to see me. He had no idea how determined I was.
Every week, I showed up for practice. Every game, I spent the night sitting on the bench (运动员休息区). My husband asked me why I didn’t just forget about it, but I told him this was the only way I was ever going to get to play. If I stayed home, I’d never get a chance.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
During the last round of the last game of the season, the coach finally told me to go to center field.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the game, a young man approached me and asked if I’d like to play for his team in Belize.

As a young girl, Ayshah grew up fascinated by the world of beauty.
She had a hole in her heart — a medical condition she was born with. Ayshah’s mother was especially protective of her because of her health condition, but encouraged her to pursue her dreams. When Ayshah finished high school, the most appealing option at her local technical college was training to become a make-up artist. So, she signed up for the three-year course.
While studying, Ayshah suffered the loss of her mother, which led the 21-year-old to become the primary supporter for her father, who was suffering from kidney failure, as well as for her younger sister and brother. “From that moment on, I knew I had to turn from being dependent to becoming stronger,” she says.
In three years, Ayshah completed her course at the technical college, along with her training. Then a friend told her about the opening of Roseyar, an Aramco initiative that supports local women by training and employing them at the rose factory in Taif, where she lives.
Taif is the heart of the rose-growing industry in western Saudi Arabia. Known as the Taif rose, these flowers are prized for their intense smell and are used by the world’s leading perfume makers. With nearly 900 rose farms, Taif has a centuries-old tradition of rose growing, and the roses are harvested to produce some of the world’s most expensive rose oil.
Ayshah joined Roseyar and trained as a production technician, using the oil of Taif roses to make cosmetic products. She reconnected with the cosmetic industry she loved as a child. “I truly love knowing that I am contributing to making something so beautiful,” she says.
The job at Roseyar has enabled Ayshah to meet her various responsibilities while being surrounded by the sweet smell of the Taif rose. “I’ve been able to balance having my medical treatment for my heart condition, supporting my family financially and providing for myself — I was even able to buy a car,” she says.
4. Why did Ayshah study at her local technical college?
A. She had health problems. B. She had to look after her father.
C. She was able to learn what she loves. D. She was eager to earn a high income in the future.
5. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A. The Roseyar project. B. The Taif rose industry.
C. The production of perfumes. D. The characteristics of Taif roses.
6. Which of the following best describes Ayshah?
A. Ambitious and responsible. B. Talented and determined.
C. Reliable and generous. D. Devoted and modest.
7. What does Ayshah think of her being part of Roseyar?
A. It’s rewarding. B. It’s demanding.
C. It’s a stepping stone to her dream. D. It opens up new opportunities for her.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了Ayshah从小对美容行业的热爱,尽管她患有先天性心脏病,但她依然坚持追求梦想。在母亲去世后,她承担起家庭责任,最终通过努力在玫瑰工厂Roseyar找到工作,重新与美容行业结缘,并实现了自我价值。

Why climb Mount Qomolangma? “Because it’s there,” George Mallory famously said.
In Mick Conefrey’s writings, where he explores the charm of high mountains through the perspective of George Mallory and the ill-fated 1924 expedition to Mount Qomolangma, he writes that the three words are “both the simplest and the most enigmatic (神秘的) explanation of the lure (吸引力) of high mountains.” However, Mount Qomolangma, as it stands today, appears less enigmatic and arguably less alluring. Each spring, several tons of rubbish are removed from this high-altitude tourist destination.
Mount Qomolangma that Mallory explored in the 1920s had less waste and more romance. The climbing equipment was basic: the ropes were like threads compared to modern nylon ones, and the wool clothing and boots were heavier and far less effective than modern specialized climbing gear (装备). Mr. Conefrey also notes: Mallory and his team “took risks that many of today’s climbers would find unacceptable.”
Weighing the available evidence, Mr. Conerey considers it “hard to imagine” that Mallory reached the summit (峰顶).
The rock wall that stood in Mallory’s way is now strung with fixed ropes and features a ladder attached to it. Though it’s not exactly a walk in the park, many inexperienced climbers get up and over it every year. Will Cockrell’s book seeks to explain how this came to be.
His account begins with Dick Bass, a 55-year-old Texas oilman who became the first private citizen to reach the peak of Mount Qomolangma. Experienced climbers helped Bass and others reach the summit in exchange for a free trip, thereby gaining experience that enabled them to set up commercial operations on Mount Qomolangma. They market themselves to rich adventurers, charge for their services and assume responsibility for whomever they take up the mountain.
The market advantage on Mount Qomolangma these days is all about efficiency: getting more people up the mountain in less time. Boundaries are being pushed, in ways both impressive and troubling. Perhaps it’s to Mr. Cockrell’s credit as a journalist that he appears mostly undisturbed (未受打扰的) by these developments. This is, after all, the way things are. For the moment, then, it looks as though every possible business opportunity will be grasped, “because it’s there.”
8. Which of the following can best describe the climbers of Mount Qomolangma in the 1920s?
A. Poorly equipped but daring. B. Physically strong and fashionable.
C. Environmentally friendly and creative. D. Economically disadvantaged but romantic.
9. What can we learn about Mount Qomolangma in paragraph 5?
A. A rock wall there has been removed. B. A park is planned to be built there.
C. It inspired several famous books. D. It is easier to climb nowadays.
10. How does Will Cockrell describe Mount Qomolangma in his book?
A. It has become a free tourist attraction.
B. It is less attractive to experienced climbers.
C. Sending people to its summit has become a big business.
D. Climbing it is becoming accessible to common people.
11. What is Mr. Cockrell’s attitude to the current practices on Mount Qomolangma?
A. Optimistic. B. Objective. C. Disapproving. D. Concerned.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要围绕攀登珠穆朗玛峰展开,探讨了不同时期攀登珠峰的情况以及当下珠峰商业化的现象。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The climbing equipment was basic: the ropes were like threads compared to modern nylon ones, and the wool clothing and boots were heavier and far less effective than modern’ specialized climbing gear(装备). Mr. Conefrey also notes: Mallory and his team “took risks that many of today’s climbers would find unacceptable.”(当时的登山装备十分简陋:与现代的尼龙绳相比,当时的绳索细如丝线;羊毛衣物和靴子也比现代的专业登山装备更重,效果也差得多。科内弗里先生还指出:马洛里和他的团队“承担了许多如今登山者认为无法接受的风险”。)”可知,20 世纪 20 年代攀登珠穆朗玛峰的登山者装备简陋但勇敢无畏。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“The rock wall that stood in Mallory’s way is now strung with fixed ropes and features a ladder attached to it. Though it’s not exactly a walk in the park, many inexperienced climbers get up and over it every year.(曾经横亘在马洛里面前、阻碍他前行的岩壁,如今已挂满了固定绳索,还装有一架附在上面的梯子。虽说攀登这面岩壁绝非易事,但每年都有许多缺乏经验的登山者成功翻越。)”可知,在第五段中,我们可以了解到珠穆朗玛峰如今攀登起来更容易了。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Experienced climbers helped Bass and others reach the summit in exchange for a free trip, thereby gaining experience that enabled them to set up commercial operations on Mount Qomolangma. They market themselves to rich adventurers, charge for their services and assume responsibility for whomever they take up the mountain.(经验丰富的登山者为巴斯等人提供帮助,以换取一次免费登山之旅,从而积累了经验,得以在珠峰开展商业运营。他们向富有的冒险家推销自己,收取服务费用,并为所带登山者承担责任。)”可知,在Will Cockrell的书中将人们送往峰顶已成为一项大型产业。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The market advantage on Mount Qomolangma these days is all about efficiency: getting more people up the mountain in less time. Boundaries are being pushed, in ways both impressive and troubling. Perhaps it’s to Mr. Cockrell’s credit as a journalist that he appears mostly undisturbed (未受打扰的) by these developments.(如今,珠峰上的市场优势全在于效率:在更短的时间内让更多人登上山峰。人们以各种令人惊叹又令人担忧的方式挑战极限。作为一名记者,Mr. Cockrell对这些发展似乎大多不为所动,这或许算是他的优点。)”可知,Mr. Cockrell对珠穆朗玛峰当前做法的态度是客观的。故选B。
D
Robert Campbell, a 68-year-old retired teacher from Glasgow, has lived with type 2 diabetes (糖尿病) for a decade. Recently, worrying blurriness in his vision pushed him to seek a screening (筛查) for diabetic retinopathy — a diabetes-related eye disease that causes blindness. Traditionally, he would have faced a long wait for a specialist appointment within Scotland’s National Health Service.
His local clinic, however, was part of a new pilot program using an AI-powered platform for eye disease called “RetinaScan AI”. The process was simple: a staff member took a photograph of Robert’s retina (视网膜). Within minutes, the system provided an automated assessment, detecting subtle signs of the disease with remarkable accuracy. This initiative effectively solved the traditional bottleneck, bringing expert-level screening directly to the community.
The technology is built on deep learning. The AI was trained on hundreds of thousands of retinal images previously labeled by eye doctors. Through this process, it learned to identify critical indicators of diabetic eye disease with a consistency unaffected by human beings. Its primary role is screening: efficiently identifying healthy patients and flagging those, like Robert, who require urgent specialist care.
“Platforms like RetinaScan AI are game-changers,” explains Dr. Eleanor Reed, a consultant eye doctor. “They don’t replace our expertise; they enhance it. By handling a great deal of initial screening workload, they ensure that human specialists can focus their skills on complex diagnoses (诊断) and treatment planning, ultimately preventing preventable vision loss.”
The Glasgow pilot has already contributed to promising results. In its first six months, the program successfully screened over 5,000 patients, cutting average wait times for screening from 12 weeks to just days. More importantly, it has accurately flagged hundreds of at-risk individuals, like Robert, for early intervention, demonstrating a meaningful impact on patient outcomes.
Robert Campbell’s story is just the first chapter. This pilot program paves the way for AI technology to expand globally, reaching millions who need these vital screenings.
12. What problem did Robert Campbell face before the AI program was introduced?
A. He could hardly afford the screening.
B. His local clinic lacked the necessary equipment.
C. He had to wait long for a specialist appointment.
D. He was found to have a rare diabetic eye disease.
13. What is the main advantage of “RetinaScan AI” according to the text?
A. It is part of a new pilot program.
B. It replaces the need for human doctors.
C. It provides immediate treatment for patients.
D. It offers accurate and more accessible screening in communities.
14. Why does Dr Eleanor Reed call AI platforms “game-changers”?
A. They manage initial screenings. B. They work like specialists.
C. They finally avoid vision loss. D. They treat complex diseases.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. What Could AI benefit Humans? B. How is AI Transforming Eye Care?
C. Is AI the Doctor’s Newest Assistant? D. Can AI Systems See More Than Doctors?
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Traditionally, he would have faced a long wait for a specialist appointment within Scotland's National Health Service. (按照以往的情况,在苏格兰的国家医疗服务体系中,他原本需要等待很长一段时间才能预约到专科医生的诊疗。)”可知,传统上他需要等待很长时间才能预约到专家。故选C。

【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“By handling a great deal of initial screening workload, they ensure that human specialists can focus their skills on complex diagnoses (诊断) and treatment planning, ultimately preventing preventable vision loss. (通过处理大量初步筛查工作,他们确保了专业人员能够将精力集中在复杂的诊断和治疗规划上,从而最终避免了可预防的视力损伤。)”可知,Reed博士称AI为“游戏规则改变者”是因为它能处理大量的初步筛查工作,从而解放专科医生。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Robert Campbell, a 68-year-old retired teacher from Glasgow, has lived with type 2 diabetes (糖尿病) for a decade.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章就如何利用情商改善家庭关系提出了五点建议,包括学会倾听、平衡给予与接受、注意非语言沟通、尊重家人的独立性以及勇于承认错误。
【16题详解】
下文“Lack of communication is the loudest complaint in most families. The answer to “Why won’t they listen to me?” may be simply “You’re not listening to them.” (缺乏沟通是大多数家庭中最强烈的抱怨。“他们为什么不听我说?”这个问题的答案可能很简单:“你没有在听他们说。”)”指出了沟通问题的核心在于双向倾听的缺失。A选项“Listen if you expect to be heard. (如果你期望别人能听你的想法,就要先去倾听)”作为本段小标题,精准概括了下文的核心观点——倾听是相互的,想要被理解先要理解他人,与下文“观点—阐释”关系。故选A项。
【17题详解】
上文“Practice generosity by both giving and receiving. (通过给予和接受来实践慷慨)”提出了本段的核心建议——慷慨既包括给予也包括接受。C选项“Recognize that both actions are part of a loving relationship. (认识到这两种行为都是充满爱的关系的一部分)”承接上文,进一步阐释为何给予和接受都不可或缺——它们共同构成健康关系的基础。下文“If we only focus on giving without being able to accept, we limit our ability to truly connect with others. (如果我们只专注于给予而不能接受,我们就限制了自己与他人真正建立联系的能力)”则从反面强调了只会给予不会接受的弊端,与C选项形成“正面阐释—反面论证”的逻辑呼应。故选C项。
【18题详解】
上文“Take responsibility for what you communicate silently. More than our words, our tone of voice, body language, and facial expressions show how we feel. We have to listen to our tone of voice and look at ourselves in the mirror to assess how our feelings match our expressions. (为你无声传达的信息负责。比起言语,我们的语调、肢体语言和面部表情更能展示我们的感受。我们必须倾听自己的语调,照镜子评估自己的感受与表情是否一致)”强调了非语言沟通的重要性以及自我觉察的必要性。F选项“Loving words spoken with a forced smile don’t feel loving — they feel confusing. (带着勉强微笑说出的爱的话语并不让人感到被爱——它们让人感到困惑)”承接上文,具体举例说明当语言与非语言信息不一致时会给对方造成困扰,从而强化了上文“自我觉察”的重要性。故选F项。
【19题详解】
上文“Don’t try to solve problems for your loved ones. Caring for your family doesn’t mean taking charge of their problems, giving unsolicited (未经请求的) advice, or protecting them from their own emotions. (不要试图为你爱的人解决问题。关心家人并不意味着接管他们的问题、给出未经请求的建议,或保护他们免受自己情绪的困扰)”指出了关爱家人的正确方式——不是包办代替,而是尊重他们的独立性。G选项“Let them know their own strengths and allow them to ask you for help when they need it. (让他们了解自己的长处,并允许他们在需要时向你求助)”承接上文,给出了尊重家人独立性的具体做法——相信他们的能力,并在他们主动求助时提供支持,与上文形成“否定错误做法—肯定正确做法”的逻辑呼应。故选G项。
【20题详解】
上文“Acknowledge your errors to everyone. Saying you’re sorry when you hurt someone you love models humility (谦虚) and emotional integrity. (向所有人承认你的错误。当你伤害了你爱的人时说对不起,展现了谦逊和情感的正直)”指出了道歉的积极意义。E选项“You can demonstrate that no one is perfect, but everyone can learn at any age. (你可以证明没有人是完美的,但每个人在任何年龄都可以学习)”承接上文,补充了道歉所传递的另一个重要信息——不完美是人之常态,但成长永无止境。下文“Apologizing proves you can forgive yourself and makes it easier to forgive others. (道歉证明你能原谅自己,也让原谅他人变得更容易)”则进一步阐述了道歉带来的连锁反应——自我原谅和宽恕他人,与E选项共同构成道歉的多重价值。故选E项。

第二节 单项选择(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
从各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出可填入空白处的最佳选项。
36. He is living proof ________ other people think of you does not have to influence ________ you become.
A. that; what B. that what; that C. what; that D. that what; what
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查同位语从句,主语从句和宾语从句。句意:他就是活生生的例子,证明了别人对你的看法并不一定会决定你最终会成为什么样的人。“________ other people think of you does not have to influence ________ you become”是同位语从句,解释说明先行词proof的具体内容,从句中不缺成分,且句子意思完整,因此用that引导同位语从句;“other people think of you”是主语从句,从句中缺少宾语,表示“别人对你的看法”,因此用what引导主语从句,因此第一空是that what;“you become”是宾语从句,从句中缺少表语,表示“你最终会成为什么样的人”,因此用what引导宾语从句。故选D。
37. ________ the thief ________ the bank than the alarm went off, and the police arrived immediately.
A. No sooner had; left B. Hardly did; leave C. No sooner did; leave D. Hardly had; left
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型,时态和倒装。句意:那个小偷刚一离开银行,警报就响了起来,警察随即就赶到了现场。no sooner...than...是固定句型,意为“刚一……,就……”,no sooner...部分用部分倒装,由went off可知,no sooner...部分的句子用过去完成时,表示先于went off的动作,过去完成时的部分倒装是将had提前到主语的前面,因此第一空是No sooner had。and后的句子表示的动作和went off一致,时态用一般过去时,因此第二空是过去式left。故选A。
38. His father predicted that he would be a(n) ________ to himself and all his family. ________ all this, he finally became one of the most famous geologists ________ .
A. honour, Except; all the time B. disgrace; Besides; of all time

【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查名词、介词和短语辨析。句意:他父亲曾预言他会成为自己和全家的耻辱。尽管如此,他最终成为了有史以来最著名的地质学家之一。第一空disgrace:耻辱,丢脸的人 / 事;honour:荣誉,根据后文:他最后成了著名地质学家,说明父亲当初是负面预测,即认为是耻辱,故排除A、D选项;第二空根据后文“he finally became one of the most famous geologists”可知,父亲说他会丢脸,尽管这样,他最后成功了。Despite all this:尽管如此/尽管这样符合语境,Except/Besides/Except for都不符合逻辑。第三空all the time一直,in time及时;of all time有史以来。指“史上最著名的地质学家之一”用of all time。故选C。
39. Up to now, large amounts of money ________ on the old temple, which causes a heated discussion.
A. spent B. has been spent C. have been spent D. had spent
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查时态,语态和主谓一致。句意:到目前为止,用于这座古老寺庙的巨额资金已被花费,这引发了激烈的争论。由Up to now可知,句子时态用现在完成时,表示过去的事情对现在的影响,钱是被花,因此空格处用现在完成时的被动语态,money被large amounts of修饰,谓语动词用复数,因此空格处是have been spent。故选C。
40. By the time he ________ from university in 2010, he ________ two successful startups.
A. graduated; had founded B. had graduated; founded
C. graduated; has founded D. had graduated; had founded
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意:到2010年他从大学毕业时,他已经创办了两家成功的初创公司。逗号前为时间状语从句,从句描述过去发生的事情,时态用一般过去时,第一个空用graduate“毕业”的过去式graduated,作从句谓语。found“创办,建立”。第二个空为主句谓语,强调毕业前已经完成的动作,时态用过去完成时,第二个空用had founded,作主句谓语。故选A。
41. I don’t like the way ________ you talked to the specialist. In fact, the way ________ he offered us is quite effective.
A. that; that B. which; that C. in which; to which D. that; in which
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:我不喜欢你和专家谈话的方式。事实上,他给我们提供的方法很有效。第一空处名词way表示“方式”,在其后定语从句“you talked to the specialist”中作方式状语,可用that或者in which引导该从句,也可不用引导词;第二空处名词way表示“方法”,关系词替代先行词在其后定语从句“he offered us”中作宾语,用关系代词that引导该从句。故选A项。
42. The building ________ a closed space provides people, animals and plants with a place to live together.
A. consisting of B. consists of C. is made up of D. being composed of
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和非谓语动词。句意:该建筑由一个封闭的空间组成,为人、动物和植物提供了一个共同生活的场所。表示“由……组成”短语为consist of或be made up of/be composed of;此处应用非谓语动词形式,且building与consist为主动关系,故用现在分词形式。故选A。
43. Despite early optimism, the startup ________ after failing to secure a second round of funding.
A. lost its temper B. threw in the towel C. kept its head D. turned over a new leaf
【答案】B
【解析】

44. Don’t phone me at 7:00 this evening. I ________ dinner then.
A. have B. will be having C. have had D. had
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意:今晚七点别给我打电话。那时我要去吃晚餐。由at 7:00 this evening和then可知,句子表示“在今天晚上的七点我会正在吃晚餐”,因此用将来进行时will be having表示一个将来的某一时刻正在进行的动作。故选B。
45. ________ himself in doing research all day, Jerry didn’t even have time to have a meal with his family.
A. To occupy B. Occupied C. Being occupied D. Occupying
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:杰里整天忙于做研究,甚至连和家人一起吃饭的时间都没有。句中谓语是didn’t even have,空格处用非谓语动词,Jerry和occupy之间是主谓关系,因此用现在分词表主动,作状语。故选D。

【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:梦境可以成为艺术家丰富的灵感源泉。此处需要用名词作介词of的宾语,表抽象意义,不可数,故填inspiration。
50. Safe water is not easily ______ (access) to the villagers in the flood areas. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】accessible

【答案】例文
Combating Food Wastage During the Spring Festival
Dear fellow students,
As we all know, the Spring Festival is a time for family gatherings and feasts, but it also brings serious food waste. During the holiday, many families cook more dishes than they can eat, and a large amount of leftover food is thrown away. Some people even order excessive food in restaurants to show hospitality, leading to huge waste.
Food waste not only wastes precious resources but also puts pressure on the environment. Moreover, many people around the world are still suffering from hunger. It’s our duty to value every grain of food.
Let’s take action now. First, we can plan the amount of food we need before cooking or ordering. Second, we should take leftovers home and eat them properly. Third, we can remind our relatives and friends to avoid food waste.
Let’s work together to make this Spring Festival more environmentally friendly and meaningful.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

57. 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。
When I was four, my seven-year-old brother received a baseball mitt (棒球手套) for his birthday. Every night, as we went to sleep, I’d listen to him throwing a ball into the mitt over and over to soften the leather (皮革). When he was finally sleepy, he’d put the ball in the mitt, wrap (包裹) a rubber band around it, and put it under his pillow to shape the leather even more. I wanted a mitt too. But, back then, girls didn’t play sports; they played with dolls.
Now a thirty-year-old mother of three, I happened to see a notice in my local paper: “Women’s Slow-Pitch Softball League opens soon. Anyone interested, sign up at the recreation (娱乐) center.” I cut it out and set it on the kitchen counter. I looked at that notice on my counter every day. I thought of a thousand reasons I couldn’t play. But the idea of playing baseball stuck in my head and wouldn’t go away. Finally, I signed up at the recreation center. Then, the notice came to report to James Park on Monday night to begin practice.
On Monday, I walked through the park filled with women of all ages practicing at different diamonds (棒球场的内场). It took me a while to find my team. They were all high-school girls, seventeen and eighteen years old! The coach wasn’t happy to see me. But I didn’t care. That first day, I never got a chance to bat (击球) or play the field. I just ran bases (跑垒) all night. The next morning, I could barely stand. I was still feeling hurt when I showed up to play the next week. The coach was surprised to see me. He had no idea how determined I was.
Every week, I showed up for practice. Every game, I spent the night sitting on the bench (运动员休息区). My husband asked me why I didn’t just forget about it, but I told him this was the only way I was ever going to get to play. If I stayed home, I’d never get a chance.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
During the last round of the last game of the season, the coach finally told me to go to center field.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the game, a young man approached me and asked if I’d like to play for his team in Belize.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
During the last round of the last game of the season, the coach finally told me to go to center field. I was nervous. I was thirty-three years old, the oldest player on the team, and I was going to play for the first time. I was excited too. I ran to the center field. I was determined to show those high school girls what an “old girl” could do. The ball flew to center field and I caught it. I was excited. I ran to the base. “You have to run to the home base,” the coach shouted. I ran hard but I was too tired to get to the home base.
After the game, a young man approached me and asked if I’d like to play for his team in Belize. I nodded. The next day, I was on the way to Belize. I was going to play in my first real baseball game. I was a little nervous. I knew I could do it, though. The game started. I was determined to show those college students that aging didn’t mean I couldn’t play. I ran after every ball. By the end of the game, I had run after 11 balls. It was an amazing feeling.
