The 65-year-old Steve Goodwin was found suffering from early Alzheimer’s(阿尔茨海默症). He was losing his memory.
A software engineer by profession, Steve was a keen lover of the piano, and the only musician in his family. Music was his true passion, though he had never performed outside the family.
Melissa, his daughter, felt it more than worthwhile to save his music, to which she fell asleep each night when she was young. She thought about hiring a professional pianist to work with her father.
Naomi, Melissa’s best friend and a talented pianist, got to know about this and showed willingness to help.
“Why do this?” Steve wondered.
“Because she cares.” Melissa said.
Steve nodded, tear in eye.
Naomi drove to the Goodwin home. She told Steve she’d love to hear him play. Steve moved to the piano and sat at the bench, hands trembling as he gently placed his fingers on the keys.
Naomi put a small recorder near the piano. Starts and stops and mistakes. Long pauses, heart sinking. But Steve pressed on, playing for the first time in his life for a stranger.
“It was beautiful.” Naomi said after listening to the recording. “The music was worth saving.”
Her responsibility, her privilege, would be to rescue it. The music was still in Steve Goodwin. It was hidden in rooms with doors about to be locked.
Naomi and Steve met every other week and spent hours together. He’d move his fingers clumsily on the piano, and then she’d take his place. He struggled to explain what he heard in his head. He stood by the piano, eyes closed, listening for the first time to his own work being played by someone else.
Steve and Naomi spoke in musical code lines, beats, intervals, moving from the root to end a song in a new key. Steve heard it. All of it. He just couldn’t play it.
Working with Naomi did wonders for Steve. It had excited within him the belief he could write one last song. One day, Naomi received an email. Attached was a recording, a recording of loss and love, of the fight. Steve called it “Melancholy Flower”.
Naomi heard multiple stops and starts, Steve struggling, searching while his wife Joni called him “honey” and encouraged him. The task was so hard, and Steve, angry and upset, said he was quitting. Joni praised him, telling her husband this could be his signature piece.
Naomi managed to figure out 16 of Steve’s favorite, and most personal, songs. With Naomi’s help, the Goodwin family found a sound engineer to record Naomi playing Steve’s songs. Joni thought that would be the end. But it wasn’t.
In the months leading up to the 2016 Oregon Repertory Singers Christmas concert, Naomi told the director she had a special one in mind: “Melancholy Flower. ”
She told the director about her project with Steve. The director agreed to add it to the playing list. But Naomi would have to ask Steve’s permission. He considered it an honor.
After the concert, Naomi told the family that Steve’s music was beautiful and professional. It needed to be shared in public.
The family rented a former church in downtown Portland and scheduled a concert. By the day of the show, more than 300 people had said they would attend.
By then Steve was having a hard time remembering the names of some of his friends. He knew the path his life was now taking. He told his family he was at peace.
Steve arrived and sat in the front row, surrounded by his family. The house lights faded. Naomi took the stage. Her fingers. His heart.
40. Why did Melissa want to save her father’s music?
A. His music could stop his disease from worsening.
B. She wanted to please her dying old father.
C. His music deserved to be preserved in the family.
D. She wanted to make her father a professional.
41. After hearing Steve’s playing, Naomi ________.
A. refused to make a comment on it
B. was deeply impressed by his music
C. decided to free Steve from suffering
D. regretted offering help to her friend
42. How can the process of Steve’s recording be described?
A. It was slow but productive.
B. It was beneficial to his health.
C. It was tiresome for Naomi.
D. It was vital for Naomi’s career.
43. Before Steve finished “Melancholy Flower” his wife Joni _______.
A. thought the music talent of Steve was exhausted
B. didn’t expect the damage the disease brought about
C. didn’t fully realize the value of her husband’s music
D. brought her husband’s music career to perfection

Anger is one of the most intense and challenging emotions we experience. It can arise from feelings of injustice, frustration, or perceived threats to our well-being. Whether anger manifests in ourselves or in others, it has the potential to create division, escalate (升级) conflicts, and harm relationships. However, anger does not have to control us. By utilizing compassion — specifically, compassionate reframing — we can transform anger into a deeper understanding and connection.
At its core, anger is a reaction to an appraisal — a mental assessment of a situation that threatens something we value. This appraisal determines the intensity: and quality of our emotional response. However, situations themselves do not contain meaning; we assign meaning to them based on our interpretations. When we react in anger, we often view events through a narrow lens, reinforcing negative emotions and rigid perspectives. Reframing is the process of consciously changing our interpretation of an event to reduce negative emotions. Compassionate reframing takes this one step further by integrating compassion — for both ourselves and others — into the way we interpret situations, helping us move away from hostility and resentment toward a mindset of unity and understanding.
Compassion has the power to neutralize anger by softening our perspective. It allows us to acknowledge suffering — both our own and that of others — without immediate judgment or retaliation. We can shift our reactions from aggressive to constructive. Consider a common scenario: You are at a restaurant, and the server has not attended to your table for quite some time. A typical reaction might be: “This is ridiculous! We’ve been waiting forever. The service here is terrible!” A compassionate reframe might be: “I don’t like how long this is taking, but I know serving tables is difficult. Maybe they’re short-staffed tonight. At least I can enjoy my time with friends.”
Compassionate reframing acknowledges personal discomfort while also extending understanding to the server. It prevents anger from, escalating and creates an opportunity to act with patience and kindness. Rather than reacting defensively or dismissively, we can ask ourselves: What might be causing their anger? How can I respond in a way that acknowledges their emotions without fueling hostility?
Anger is an unavoidable part of life, but it does not have to dominate our reactions or relationships. By practicing compassionate reframing, we gain the ability to step back, assess situations with kindness, and respond in ways that promote peace rather than conflict. Whether in personal interactions, professional settings, or moments of frustration with strangers, compassionate reframing offers a powerful tool for transforming anger into understanding. The choice to reframe our perspective not only benefits our emotional well-being but also fosters a world where compassion leads the way in conflict resolution and human connection.
46. Which statement does the author probably agree with on anger?
A. Anger should always be contained in social settings.
B. Anger’s impact is greater on oneself than on others.
C. Compassionate reframing is effective only in specific contexts.
D. Anger is a natural response that can be positively channeled.
47. Anger often escalate conflicts due to the fact that ______ .
A. people prioritize winning over resolving issues
B. fixed interpretations prevent consideration of others
C. anger in its nature ruins relationships
D. anger is an unavoidable part of life
48. Why is compassionate reframing proposed to conduct according to the passage?
A. To reduce negative emotions through a deeper understanding.
B. To acknowledge suffering without judgment and development and develop sympathy.
C. To rationalize one’s dissatisfaction in challenging situations.
D. To minimize the potential of a conflict by controlling emotions.
49. The restaurant scenario illustrates that compassionate reframing can ______ .
A. encourage beneficial dialogues instead of confrontation
B. decrease the sense of self-awareness during disagreements
C. shift focus from personal frustration to others’ circumstances
D. validate annoyance as a justified response to the issue
50. The writer’s friend Nathan was driving suddenly another driver cut him off, nearly causing an accident. How shouldn’t he respond?
A. He was such an idiot! He could have killed us both!
B. I was scared. But maybe he was rushing to a hospital.
C. Dangerous! Perhaps he’s a green hand and misjudged the distance.
D. I’m grateful I’m safe. Everyone should be careful in the morning rush.

第一节:阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)
阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Dressed in a dark blue waterproof jacket, outdoor shoes and a small backpack, 25-year-old Ye Tian tries to get in an abandoned coking plant (焦化厂) in Beijing.
An intern (实习生) for a German company in Beijing, Ye is among thousands of youth interested in city adventures, what they call “urban exploration” — “urbex” for short.
The aim of this trending hobby is to explore man-made structures — usually abandoned ruins or hidden areas. Urban explorers are interested in these sites because they can understand cities from a different angle. Ye, for example, said he enjoyed the contrast between Beijing’s two sides.
“Widely known scenic spots and historical sites can only reflect the bright side of the city, or what the city wants you to see,” Ye said. “But abandoned places show you the past that is hidden deep in people’s memories.”
Alex, who is in his early 30s and works in Canada, once explored a sealed 1920s theater. With careful planning, he entered through a basement window. Inside, time stood still: a grand piano sat on stage and old posters still hung on walls. He spent hours photographing, careful not to disturb anything. For urbexers, there is a very important rule that you can’t remove any souvenirs from a site.
While urban exploration can get people to extraordinary places that few have visited, it’s sometimes dangerous. Climbing up tall buildings and tip-toeing through abandoned structures can sometimes be a life-threatening affair. Injuries and even death are not unheard of within the urbex community.
“In the beginning, I was pretty audacious and believed the riskier the places you go, the better photos you get,” said Du Tianyu, 22. “But that is not necessarily the case. After doing my calculations, I learned to stop when I reach the limit.”
At its best urbex is a bridge between the past and present. It captures the beauty of forgotten places while preserving them for others to discover.
51. According to the passage, what is Ye Tian’s hobby? (no more than 5 words)
_____________________________________________________________
52. Why are some young people interested in places like the coking plant in Beijing? (no more than 10 words)

54. What does the underlined word probably mean in Paragraph 7? (1word)

The 65-year-old Steve Goodwin was found suffering from early Alzheimer’s(阿尔茨海默症). He was losing his memory.
A software engineer by profession, Steve was a keen lover of the piano, and the only musician in his family. Music was his true passion, though he had never performed outside the family.
Melissa, his daughter, felt it more than worthwhile to save his music, to which she fell asleep each night when she was young. She thought about hiring a professional pianist to work with her father.
Naomi, Melissa’s best friend and a talented pianist, got to know about this and showed willingness to help.
“Why do this?” Steve wondered.
“Because she cares.” Melissa said.
Steve nodded, tear in eye.
Naomi drove to the Goodwin home. She told Steve she’d love to hear him play. Steve moved to the piano and sat at the bench, hands trembling as he gently placed his fingers on the keys.
Naomi put a small recorder near the piano. Starts and stops and mistakes. Long pauses, heart sinking. But Steve pressed on, playing for the first time in his life for a stranger.
“It was beautiful.” Naomi said after listening to the recording. “The music was worth saving.”
Her responsibility, her privilege, would be to rescue it. The music was still in Steve Goodwin. It was hidden in rooms with doors about to be locked.
Naomi and Steve met every other week and spent hours together. He’d move his fingers clumsily on the piano, and then she’d take his place. He struggled to explain what he heard in his head. He stood by the piano, eyes closed, listening for the first time to his own work being played by someone else.
Steve and Naomi spoke in musical code lines, beats, intervals, moving from the root to end a song in a new key. Steve heard it. All of it. He just couldn’t play it.
Working with Naomi did wonders for Steve. It had excited within him the belief he could write one last song. One day, Naomi received an email. Attached was a recording, a recording of loss and love, of the fight. Steve called it “Melancholy Flower”.
Naomi heard multiple stops and starts, Steve struggling, searching while his wife Joni called him “honey” and encouraged him. The task was so hard, and Steve, angry and upset, said he was quitting. Joni praised him, telling her husband this could be his signature piece.
Naomi managed to figure out 16 of Steve’s favorite, and most personal, songs. With Naomi’s help, the Goodwin family found a sound engineer to record Naomi playing Steve’s songs. Joni thought that would be the end. But it wasn’t.
In the months leading up to the 2016 Oregon Repertory Singers Christmas concert, Naomi told the director she had a special one in mind: “Melancholy Flower. ”
She told the director about her project with Steve. The director agreed to add it to the playing list. But Naomi would have to ask Steve’s permission. He considered it an honor.
After the concert, Naomi told the family that Steve’s music was beautiful and professional. It needed to be shared in public.
The family rented a former church in downtown Portland and scheduled a concert. By the day of the show, more than 300 people had said they would attend.
By then, Steve was having a hard time remembering the names of some of his friends. He knew the path his life was now taking. He told his family he was at peace.
Steve arrived and sat in the front row, surrounded by his family. The house lights faded. Naomi took the stage. Her fingers. His heart.
40. Why did Melissa want to save her father’s music?
A. His music could stop his disease from worsening.
B. She wanted to please her dying old father.
C. His music deserved to be preserved in the family.
D. She wanted to make her father a professional.
41. After hearing Steve’s playing, Naomi ________.
A. refused to make a comment on it
B. was deeply impressed by his music
C decided to free Steve from suffering
D. regretted offering help to her friend
42. How can the process of Steve’s recording be described?
A. It was slow but productive.
B. It was beneficial to his health.
C. It was tiresome for Naomi.
D. It was vital for Naomi’s career.
43. Before Steve finished “Melancholy Flower,” his wife Joni _______.
A. thought the music talent of Steve was exhausted
B. didn’t expect the damage the disease brought about
C. didn’t fully realize the value of her husband’s music
D. brought her husband’s music career to perfection

【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述一个钢琴师帮助一个患老年痴呆症的老人录制音乐的故事。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段可知,Steve是一位专业的软件工程师,还是一个钢琴的热爱者,是家里唯一的音乐家,音乐是他真正热爱的东西,尽管没有在家以外的地方弹奏过钢琴。根据第三段Melissa, his daughter, felt it more than worthwhile to save his music.可知,他的女儿Melissa觉得保存他的音乐很有价值,故选C。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。根据第十段“It was beautiful.” Naomi said after listening to the recording. “The music was worth saving.”可知,听了录音之后Naomi说很美,值得保存,故可以得出Naomi对Steve的音乐印象深刻,故选B。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第十二段. He’d move his fingers clumsily on the piano, and then she’d take his place.以及第十三段Steve and Naomi spoke in musical code lines, beats, intervals, moving from the root to end a song in a new key. Steve heard it. All of it. He just couldn’t play it.可知,Steve会笨拙地把手指放在钢琴上,然后Naomi把手指放在他放的地方,并且Steve努力解释脑海里的内容,所有的这些,都是Naomi在弹奏,而Steve在听,故可知这个录制过程很慢。根据第十六段Naomi managed to figure out 16 of Steve’s favorite, and most personal, songs.可知,作品很多。所以可知,录制过程很慢但很有成效。故选A。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据第十六段Joni thought that would be the end. But it wasn’t.以及后文Steve取得的成就可知,在完成Melancholy Flower之前,他的妻子还没完全意识到丈夫的音乐的真正价值,故选C。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段He knew the path his life was now taking. He told his family he was at peace.可知,他知道自己的人生道路,他告诉家人他很平静。故选D。

Anger is one of the most intense and challenging emotions we experience. It can arise from feelings of injustice, frustration, or perceived threats to our well-being. Whether anger manifests in ourselves or in others, it has the potential to create division, escalate (升级) conflicts, and harm relationships. However, anger does not have to control us. By utilizing compassion — specifically, compassionate reframing — we can transform anger into a deeper understanding and connection.
At its core, anger is a reaction to an appraisal — a mental assessment of a situation that threatens something we value. This appraisal determines the intensity: and quality of our emotional response. However, situations themselves do not contain meaning; we assign meaning to them based on our interpretations. When we react in anger, we often view events through a narrow lens, reinforcing negative emotions and rigid perspectives. Reframing is the process of consciously changing our interpretation of an event to reduce negative emotions. Compassionate reframing takes this one step further by integrating compassion — for both ourselves and others — into the way we interpret situations, helping us move away from hostility and resentment toward a mindset of unity and understanding.
Compassion has the power to neutralize anger by softening our perspective. It allows us to acknowledge suffering — both our own and that of others — without immediate judgment or retaliation. We can shift our reactions from aggressive to constructive. Consider a common scenario: You are at a restaurant, and the server has not attended to your table for quite some time. A typical reaction might be: “This is ridiculous! We’ve been waiting forever. The service here is terrible!” A compassionate reframe might be: “I don’t like how long this is taking, but I know serving tables is difficult. Maybe they’re short-staffed tonight. At least I can enjoy my time with friends.”
Compassionate reframing acknowledges personal discomfort while also extending understanding to the server. It prevents anger from, escalating and creates an opportunity to act with patience and kindness. Rather than reacting defensively or dismissively, we can ask ourselves: What might be causing their anger? How can I respond in a way that acknowledges their emotions without fueling hostility?
Anger is an unavoidable part of life, but it does not have to dominate our reactions or relationships. By practicing compassionate reframing, we gain the ability to step back, assess situations with kindness, and respond in ways that promote peace rather than conflict. Whether in personal interactions, professional settings, or moments of frustration with strangers, compassionate reframing offers a powerful tool for transforming anger into understanding. The choice to reframe our perspective not only benefits our emotional well-being but also fosters a world where compassion leads the way in conflict resolution and human connection.
46. Which statement does the author probably agree with on anger?
A. Anger should always be contained in social settings.
B. Anger’s impact is greater on oneself than on others.
C. Compassionate reframing is effective only in specific contexts.
D. Anger is a natural response that can be positively channeled.
47. Anger often escalate conflicts due to the fact that ______ .
A. people prioritize winning over resolving issues
B. fixed interpretations prevent consideration of others
C. anger in its nature ruins relationships
D anger is an unavoidable part of life
48. Why is compassionate reframing proposed to conduct according to the passage?
A. To reduce negative emotions through a deeper understanding.
B. To acknowledge suffering without judgment and development and develop sympathy.
C. To rationalize one’s dissatisfaction in challenging situations.
D. To minimize the potential of a conflict by controlling emotions.
49. The restaurant scenario illustrates that compassionate reframing can ______ .
A. encourage beneficial dialogues instead of confrontation
B. decrease the sense of self-awareness during disagreements
C. shift focus from personal frustration to others’ circumstances
D. validate annoyance as a justified response to the issue
50. The writer’s friend Nathan was driving suddenly another driver cut him off, nearly causing an accident. How shouldn’t he respond?
A. He was such an idiot! He could have killed us both!
B. I was scared. But maybe he was rushing to a hospital.
C. Dangerous! Perhaps he’s a green hand and misjudged the distance.
D. I’m grateful I’m safe. Everyone should be careful in the morning rush.

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章指出愤怒是常见情绪且会带来负面影响,但可通过富有同情心的重新构建思维方式,将愤怒转化为理解,促进和平解决冲突。
【46题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“It can arise from feelings of injustice, frustration, or perceived threats to our well-being.(它可能来自于不公平的感觉、沮丧或对我们幸福的威胁)”和“However, anger does not have to control us. By utilizing compassion — specifically, compassionate reframing — we can transform anger into a deeper understanding and connection.(然而,愤怒不一定非要控制我们。通过运用同情心——具体来说,富有同情心的重新构建思维方式——我们可以将愤怒转化为更深刻的理解和联系)”可知,愤怒是一种自然反应,并且可以被积极地引导。由此可推断,作者可能同意“愤怒是一种可以被积极引导的自然反应”这一观点。故选D项。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“When we react in anger, we often view events through a narrow lens, reinforcing negative emotions and rigid perspectives.(当我们愤怒地做出反应时,我们常常以狭隘的视角看待事件,强化负面情绪和僵化的观点)”可知,愤怒会强化负面情绪和僵化的观点,让人们以狭隘的视角看待事件,常常会升级冲突,因为这种固定的解读方式使人们无法考虑他人。故选B项。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Reframing is the process of consciously changing our interpretation of an event to reduce negative emotions. Compassionate reframing takes this one step further by integrating compassion — for both ourselves and others — into the way we interpret situations, helping us move away from hostility and resentment toward a mindset of unity and understanding.(重新构建思维方式是有意识地改变我们对事件的解读以减少负面情绪的过程。富有同情心的重新构建思维方式更进一步,将对自己和他人的同情心融入到我们解读情况的方式中,帮助我们从敌意和怨恨转向团结和理解的心态)”可知,提出富有同情心的重新构建思维方式是为了将对自己和他人的同情心融入到我们解读情况的方式中,通过更深刻的理解来减少负面情绪。故选A项。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Consider a common scenario: You are at a restaurant, and the server has not attended to your table for quite some time. A typical reaction might be: ‘This is ridiculous! We’ve been waiting forever. The service here is terrible!’ A compassionate reframe might be: ‘I don’t like how long this is taking, but I know serving tables is difficult. Maybe they’re short staffed tonight. At least I can enjoy my time with friends.’(考虑一个常见的场景:你在一家餐馆,服务员很久都没有照顾你的桌子。一个典型的反应可能是:‘这太荒谬了!我们等了好久了。这里的服务太差了!’一个富有同情心的重新构建思维方式可能是:‘我不喜欢等这么久,但我知道服务顾客很困难。也许他们今晚人手不足。至少我可以和朋友们享受时光。’)”可知,餐馆场景说明了富有同情心的重新构建思维方式可以将注意力从个人的沮丧转移到他人的处境上。故选C项。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Compassionate reframing acknowledges personal discomfort while also extending understanding to the server. It prevents anger from escalating and creates an opportunity to act with patience and kindness.(富有同情心的重新构建思维方式在承认个人不适的同时,也对他人表示理解。它能防止愤怒升级,并创造一个以耐心和善意行事的机会)”可知,富有同情心的重新构建思维方式能将愤怒转化为理解,避免冲突升级。A选项“He was such an idiot! He could have killed us both!(他真是个白痴!他差点害死我们两个!)”表达的是愤怒和指责,没有运用富有同情心的重新构建思维方式,不利于和平解决问题;而B选项“也许他正赶着去医院”、C选项“可能他是个新手,误判了距离”、D选项“我很感激我安全了。每个人在早高峰都应该小心”都体现了理解和包容。所以不应该像A项那样回应。故选A项。
第Ⅱ卷(共35分)
第一节:阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)
阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Dressed in a dark blue waterproof jacket, outdoor shoes and a small backpack, 25-year-old Ye Tian tries to get in an abandoned coking plant (焦化厂) in Beijing.
An intern (实习生) for a German company in Beijing, Ye is among thousands of youth interested in city adventures, what they call “urban exploration” — “urbex” for short.
The aim of this trending hobby is to explore man-made structures — usually abandoned ruins or hidden areas. Urban explorers are interested in these sites because they can understand cities from a different angle. Ye, for example, said he enjoyed the contrast between Beijing’s two sides.
“Widely known scenic spots and historical sites can only reflect the bright side of the city, or what the city wants you to see,” Ye said. “But abandoned places show you the past that is hidden deep in people’s memories.”
Alex, who is in his early 30s and works in Canada, once explored a sealed 1920s theater. With careful planning, he entered through a basement window. Inside, time stood still: a grand piano sat on stage and old posters still hung on walls. He spent hours photographing, careful not to disturb anything. For urbexers, there is a very important rule that you can’t remove any souvenirs from a site.
While urban exploration can get people to extraordinary places that few have visited, it’s sometimes dangerous. Climbing up tall buildings and tip-toeing through abandoned structures can sometimes be a life-threatening affair. Injuries and even death are not unheard of within the urbex community.
“In the beginning, I was pretty audacious and believed the riskier the places you go, the better photos you get,” said Du Tianyu, 22. “But that is not necessarily the case. After doing my calculations, I learned to stop when I reach the limit.”
At its best urbex is a bridge between the past and present. It captures the beauty of forgotten places while preserving them for others to discover.
51. According to the passage, what is Ye Tian’s hobby? (no more than 5 words)
_____________________________________________________________
52. Why are some young people interested in places like the coking plant in Beijing? (no more than 10 words)
_____________________________________________________________
53. What rule should every urban explorer obey? (no more than 10 words)
_____________________________________________________________
54. What does the underlined word probably mean in Paragraph 7? (1word)
_____________________________________________________________
55. What do you think will become of urbex in the future? Give your reason.( no more than 20 words)
_____________________________________________________________
【答案】51. (It’s) Urban exploration.
52. (Because) these places make them understand cities from a different angle.
53. They can’t remove any souvenirs from a site.
54. Brave. 55. It will disappear. Safety risks are key barriers, because abandoned structures can be unstable and cause accidents that threaten life.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。这篇文章介绍了“城市探索”这一活动,它是年轻人中颇为流行的一种爱好。他们前往废弃之地,从全新的视角观察城市,并记录下那些被遗忘的美丽景象。尽管存在一定的风险,但越来越多的探索者学会了如何保证自身安全,并保护好这些地方。
【51题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段“An intern (实习生) for a German company in Beijing, Ye is among thousands of youth interested in city adventures, what they call “urban exploration”— “urbex” for short. ( 叶天是北京一家德国公司的实习生,他是成千上万对城市探险感兴趣的年轻人中的一员,他们将这种活动称为“城市探索”——简称“urbex”。)”可知,叶天的爱好是城市探索。故答案是:(It’s) Urban exploration.
【52题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段中“Urban explorers are interested in these sites because they can understand cities from a different angle. Ye, for example, said he enjoyed the contrast between Beijing’s two sides. (城市探险者对这些地点感兴趣,是因为他们可以从不同的角度理解城市。例如,叶天说他喜欢北京两面的对比。)”可知,有些年轻人对北京的焦化厂这样的地方感兴趣是因为这些地方使他们能够从不同的角度去理解城市。故答案是:(Because) these places make them understand cities from a different angle.
【53题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第五段中“For urbexers, there is a very important rule that you can’t remove any souvenirs from a site. (对于城市探险者来说,有一条非常重要的规则:不能从探险地点带走任何纪念品。)”可知,每个城市探索者应当遵守的规则是他们不能从景点带走任何纪念品。故答案是:They can’t remove any souvenirs from a site.
【54题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据划线单词句中“In the beginning, I was pretty …and believed the riskier the places you go, the better photos you get,” said Du Tianyu, 22. “But that is not necessarily the case. (22 岁的杜天宇说:“起初,我非常……,认为要去的地方越危险,拍到的照片就越好。)”由此可知,划线单词audacious为“大胆的”意思,和形容词Brave“勇敢的,大胆的”意思相近。故答案是Brave。
【55题详解】
考查主观评价。根据文章大意以及倒数第三段“While urban exploration can get people to extraordinary places that few have visited, it’s sometimes dangerous. Climbing up tall buildings and tip-toeing through abandoned structures can sometimes be a life-threatening affair. Injuries and even death are not unheard of within the urbex community. (虽然城市探险能让人们前往很少有人涉足的非凡之地,但有时这种活动也存在危险。攀爬高大的建筑物、小心翼翼地穿过废弃的建筑结构,有时可能会带来生命危险。在城市探险者群体中,受伤甚至死亡的情况并非罕见之事。)”可知,我认为未来“城市探险”它终将消失。因为安全隐患是主要障碍,因为废弃的建筑可能结构不稳定,从而引发危及生命的事故。故答案是:It will disappear. Safety risks are key barriers, because abandoned structures can be unstable and cause accidents that threaten life.

【答案】
Dear foreign friends,
I’d like to express my warm welcome to all of you for coming to our school to have the discussion on how we Chinese have lived in harmony with nature and how to build a creative green campus.
Longji Rice Terraces, which are situated in Guangxi Province, are a splendid example of how humans can coexist peacefully with nature. The terraces were built by local people centuries ago to make the most of the mountainous terrain for farming, which has not only prevented soil erosion but also created a breathtaking view. To build a green campus, we have two creative ideas. One is to create campus corner gardens where students can plant flowers and vegetables, learning about nature while beautifying our school. The other is to set up a recycling station for second-hand books, which I believe will promote resource sharing and reduce waste.
I’m curious about what measures your school has taken in this respect.
Looking forward to your response!
