How High-Rises Shaped Modern Britain
Eyesores and dangerously unsafe? Or ideal housing for the working classes? Holly Smith tells the stories behind some of the UK’s most revolutionary homes — buildings that have deeply shaped modern Britain, mixing novelty, success and painful debate.
Kensal House (1936, west London)
Co-designed by Maxwell Fry and Elizabeth Denby, it was intended for working-class families between the two World Wars, when modernist homes for the rich were already popular. It offered bright, spacious flats with private balconies, labour-saving kitchens and public gardens. Managed by residents with strict rules, it was a pioneering model that inspired thousands of estates later — completely distinct from the dark, crowded and poor areas people had to live in before.
Ronan Point (1968, east London)
This poorly built tower collapsed just two months after opening: a small gas leak on the 18th floor destroyed a whole wing, killing 5 people and hurting 17. Its concrete panels were piled up without a strong internal frame, and its joints were even filled with old cement (水泥) bags and wrinkled newspapers. The public shock exposed widespread structural faults in high-rises, though hundreds of such blocks still lack proper strengthening today.
Trellick Tower (1972, west London)
In sharp contrast, this high-rise is a masterpiece by Hungarian architect Ernö Goldfinger. It used top materials like marble lobbies and stained glass, as the designer believed high-rises could “free the ground for gardens” and set high standards for public housing — turning homes from just simple shelters into spaces where people could express their lives fully.
Cascades (1988, east London)
This flashy postmodern tower dominates the Thames, mixing ocean liner elegance and old storehouse solidity while taking inspiration from local marine history. Nicknamed “Yuppie Towers,” it was the first private luxury high-rise here, with a pool and a gym. It created a clear contradiction: social housing high-rises are seen as signs of poverty, while new luxury ones stand for success.
1. What can we learn about Ronan Point from the text?
A. Its structural faults led to a tragic accident.
B. Its construction featured sustainable materials.
C. Its design targeted luxury housing for the rich.
D. Its failure helped completely address similar faults.
2. What do Kensal House and Trellick Tower have in common?
A. They served as ideal examples.
B. They provided private gardens.
C. They were built with top materials.
D. They were under strict management.
3. How does Cascades reflect the evolution of British high-rises?
A. Postmodern designs replaced modernist ones.
B. Luxury facilities became standard for high-rises.
C. They shifted from public housing to private luxury.
D. Postmodernism became the mainstream design style.
B
Dr. Punam Krishan is a general practitioner — a GP — one of the doctors who stand on the front line of medicine. GPs treat everyday illnesses, listen carefully to patients’ concerns, and decide when special medical care is needed. Beyond her work in clinics, Dr. Krishan is also a familiar face on television and the author of several books, including How to Be a Doctor and Other Life-Saving Jobs, You and Your Body, and her latest release, The Superhero’s First Aid Manual.
Her journey into medicine began with caring for others. “It started off with me wanting to help people understand themselves better,” she once explained. She often noticed when someone looked unwell and felt driven to ask why. That quiet curiosity led her deeper into science, even when it was challenging, and eventually toward a life dedicated to healing others.
To Dr. Krishan, being a GP is “one of the most incredible jobs in the world”. Every day, she meets people from different backgrounds and at different stages of life. With only ten minutes per patient, she must listen closely, read between the lines, and uncover the truth behind their symptoms, “It makes me feel a bit like a detective,” she said. Patients may arrive with one problem or many, and finding the right answer brings a sense of excitement that never fades. She describes her role as being “a bit of a best friend to people”.
Her newest book was shaped by a deeply personal loss. When she was a child, her grandfather died, and for years she worried she had missed signs that he was unwell. That experience stayed with her and formed a powerful belief: recognizing illness can be a life-saving skill, even for children. Through her book, she teaches young readers to recognize emergencies such as allergic reactions or heart attacks, and to take simple but vital steps — staying calm, calling 999, or placing someone in the recovery position. For Dr. Krishan, heroism begins with care, courage, and knowledge. “Children should know the basics of how to be a superhero in that moment,” she added.
4. What can we learn about Dr. Krishan from the first paragraph?
A. She takes on multiple roles. B. She excels in detailed work.
C. She takes pleasure in reading. D. She aims for public recognition.
5. Why did Dr. Krishan dive into science?
A. To tackle the scientific challenges. B. To make up for her childhood regret.
C. To observe the lives of patients better. D. To find explanations for what she observed.
6. How does Dr. Krishan find her work as a GP?
A. Fast-paced but fulfilling. B. Stressful but stable.
C. Challenging but well-paid. D. Exhausting but promising.
7. What does Dr. Krishan’s experience indicate according to the last paragraph?
A. Better late than never. B. Fix the roof before it rains.
C. Time and tide wait for no man. D. Opportunity favors the prepared mind.
C
For centuries, the Rhine River has been celebrated as the lifeline of Europe, a vital waterway for commerce, culture, and ecology. However, a study published in January 2026 reveals a troubling modern reality: this historic river now acts as a massive conveyor belt for rubbish, carrying between 3,000 and 4,700 tons of large garbage into the North Sea every single year.
How could such a vast amount of waste have been missed? The answer lies in a revolutionary new research method. For an entire year, researchers worked with local citizen scientists to operate a special floating device called a litter trap. This device filtered (过滤) water from the surface down to 80 centimeters deep. Unlike older methods that relied on brief visual surveys, this long-term physical collection recorded the true, disorganized flow of garbage. The data showed enormous changes, with the amount of rubbish collected in a two-week period varying wildly from as few as 67 pieces to over 2,700, accounting for why short-term observations failed to get the full picture.
The collected garbage tells a clear story about its origins. Detailed analysis showed that while plastic items made up about 70% of all pieces, they were mostly lightweight, only 15% of the total weight. More importantly, over 56% of all rubbish was linked directly to the choices of individual consumers, with items like food wrappers and beverage (饮料) bottles being most common. Specific activities also left their mark, with litter from fireworks making up 10.7% of the total and tobacco-related waste like cigarette butts contributing another 6.5%.
This year-long project, powered in part by dedicated volunteers, proves that long-term, hands-on monitoring is essential to measure environmental challenges accurately. It provides a powerful model for how communities and scientists can work together to gather the evidence needed for action. The Rhine’s story is no longer just about its scenic beauty or economic importance; it is an urgent call to address the tide of waste our modern lifestyle creates, before it all washes out to sea.
8. What is the main finding of the 2026 study on the Rhine River?
A. It has a vital status in history.
B. It flows into the North Sea every year.
C. It becomes a carrier of massive rubbish.
D. It loses the role as a waterway for ecology.
9. Which of the following contributed to old methods’ failure?
A. Not involving local volunteers.
B. Lacking recorded data of advanced tools.
C. Only collecting water from the surface.
D. Missing dramatic changes in short surveys.
10. What can we learn from the figures in paragraph 3?
A. Fireworks were the most polluted activity.
B. Smoking had little effect on the environment.
C. Most rubbish came from personal consumption.
D. Plastics made up most of the weight.
11. What is the primary purpose of the passage?
A. To analyse origins of river garbage.
B. To emphasize pollution and urge action.
C. To explain a new method to clear rubbish.
D. To praise the project led by volunteers.
D
Brands have spent years perfecting video marketing strategies. Nearly 78% of consumers trust videos with real people, according to research from video creation platform Animoto. That preference holds as AI video tools flood the market and brands race to create more content faster. The finding comes from Animoto’s State of Video 2026 report, based on a survey of 460 American consumers and marketers. As AI generates full videos from text prompts (提示), the truth remains: People still want to see other people.
The preference for human faces isn’t just about aesthetics (美学). More than 82% of consumers report watching videos that they believe were AI-generated, and among that group, 36% say it lowers their trust in the brand behind it. This creates a problem with the numbers for marketers. Even if AI tools can help produce videos faster, the resulting content may raise doubt that destroys the entire purpose of making the video in the first place.
Separate research cited in the report found that 88% of consumers consider brand trust as important as price and quality when making purchases. Three-quarters of US adults think it’s extremely or very important to know whether images, videos, or text were created by AI or people. This trust loss appears regardless of whether audiences correctly identify AI content. The survey showed that consumers believe they can spot AI-generated videos based on “an entire set of signals” and contextual mismatches, according to respondent Olga Mirkovic. Whether they’re right doesn’t matter. Perception alone affects how they view the brand.
Surveyed marketing professionals aren’t trying to remove humans from their videos. Despite pressure to produce more content faster, marketers still want control over which footage to use, how to present their brand voice, and when to put themselves on camera. Roya Safarian, a survey respondent, explained the balance: “AI can enhance storytelling as long as the brand still keeps a human touch. The key is balance: Technology should support the message, not replace the genuine voice behind it.”
12. What is the most effective trust-building video marketing strategy?
A. Making videos featuring real people.
B. Using AI to generate videos quickly.
C. Updating video production fashion.
D. Producing true video content faster.
13. In what circumstances does the trust loss occur?
A. When video aesthetics are poor. B. When video production speeds up.
C. When AI content is perceived. D. When brand trust is compared to price.
14. What do marketing professionals suggest AI be used for in video-making?
A. Generating videos automatically. B. Aiding in content creation as a tool.
C. Controlling brand voice directly. D. Replacing human presenters entirely.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Contrasting AI and Human-made Videos
B. Building Consumer Trust with AI Videos
C. Facing Trust Crisis in AI-generated Videos
D. Balancing Technology and Humanity in Videos

Eva started her new job at a small charity called “Caring for Carers.” While checking the shared campaign folder, a name caught her eye: Adam Turner.
Memories suddenly flooded back. Adam had been her major opponent at school — a boy who always carried a leather briefcase while everyone else had backpacks. He was extremely talented at maths, while Eva excelled in English and history. They once failed a group project because they spent all their time arguing, unable to combine his logic with her creativity.
When the office door opened, a tall, handsome man walked in. It was Adam. He smiled broadly, “You do remember! Conker!” he teased, using her old nickname. Eva glared, but Adam quickly turned professional. “The Simpson Foundation is offering funding. If we make a convincing speech next Friday, they’ll pay for the whole campaign.”
As they worked together, the old disagreement remained. Adam was buried in precise budgets, while Eva insisted on using “creative” ideas to move the funders. Eva complained that he was too obsessed with figures, while Adam responded that her ideas were too impractical. They seemed to be back in their school days, fighting over every detail.
However, as the deadline approached, their relationship began to shift. Eva made an effort to understand his financial tables, and Adam started to appreciate the emotional power of Eva’s storytelling. One afternoon, they discovered some old black-and-white photos of people the charity had helped. Eva suggested using these to tell real stories, and Adam’s eyes lit up. He realized he could back those stories with data to prove their impact.
The day of the presentation finally arrived, which was also the final day of Eva’s trial period. Standing outside the boardroom, Eva felt her heart pounding. This wasn’t just about the funding; it was about whether she and her old opponent could finally succeed as a team.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Taking a deep breath, Eva and Adam stepped into the boardroom together.

(这座建造质量差的塔楼在开放两个月后就倒塌了:18楼的一个小煤气泄漏摧毁了整侧楼,造成5人死亡,17人受伤。它的混凝土板在没有坚固内部框架的情况下堆叠起来,其接缝甚至用旧水泥袋和皱巴巴的报纸填充。公众的震惊暴露了高层建筑中普遍存在的结构缺陷,尽管如今仍有数百座这样的建筑缺乏适当的加固。)”可知,Ronan Point的结构缺陷导致了悲剧事故。故选A项。

细节理解题。根据Kensal House部分“Managed by residents with strict rules, it was a pioneering model that inspired thousands of estates later — completely distinct from the dark, crowded and poor areas people had to live in before. (由居民严格管理,这是一种开创性的模式,后来启发了成千上万的住宅区——与人们以前不得不居住的黑暗、拥挤和贫困地区完全不同)”和Trellick Tower部分“In sharp contrast, this high-rise is a masterpiece by Hungarian architect Ernö Goldfinger. It used top materials like marble lobbies and stained glass, as the designer believed high-rises could “free the ground for gardens” and set high standards for public housing — turning homes from just simple shelters into spaces where people could express their lives fully. (与之形成鲜明对比的是,这座高层建筑是匈牙利建筑师ErnöGoldfinger的杰作。它使用了大理石大厅和彩色玻璃等顶级材料,因为设计师认为高层建筑可以“为花园腾出空间”,并为公共住房设定高标准——将房屋从简单的庇护所变成人们可以充分表达生活的空间)”可知,肯萨尔大楼是开创性的典范,特雷利克塔是建筑杰作、为公共住房树立了高标准,二者的共同点是都成为了理想范例。故选A项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Cascades部分“This flashy postmodern tower dominates the Thames, mixing ocean liner elegance and old storehouse solidity while taking inspiration from local marine history. Nicknamed “Yuppie Towers,” it was the first private luxury high-rise here, with a pool and a gym. It created a clear contradiction: social housing high-rises are seen as signs of poverty, while new luxury ones stand for success. (这座华丽的后现代塔楼矗立在泰晤士河畔,融合了远洋客轮的优雅和旧仓库的坚固,同时从当地的海洋历史中汲取灵感。它被称为“雅皮士塔”,是这里第一座私人豪华高层建筑,配有游泳池和健身房。它制造了一个明显的矛盾:社会福利性高层住宅被视为贫穷的象征,而新的豪华高层住宅则代表成功。)”可知,此前英国高层建筑多为面向工薪阶层的社会住房,而卡斯卡德大楼是首个私人豪华高层建筑,反映出英国高层建筑从公共住房向私人豪华住房的转变。故选C项。

Dr. Punam Krishan is a general practitioner — a GP — one of the doctors who stand on the front line of medicine. GPs treat everyday illnesses, listen carefully to patients’ concerns, and decide when special medical care is needed. Beyond her work in clinics, Dr. Krishan is also a familiar face on television and the author of several books, including How to Be a Doctor and Other Life-Saving Jobs, You and Your Body, and her latest release, The Superhero’s First Aid Manual.
Her journey into medicine began with caring for others. “It started off with me wanting to help people understand themselves better,” she once explained. She often noticed when someone looked unwell and felt driven to ask why. That quiet curiosity led her deeper into science, even when it was challenging, and eventually toward a life dedicated to healing others.
To Dr. Krishan, being a GP is “one of the most incredible jobs in the world”. Every day, she meets people from different backgrounds and at different stages of life. With only ten minutes per patient, she must listen closely, read between the lines, and uncover the truth behind their symptoms, “It makes me feel a bit like a detective,” she said. Patients may arrive with one problem or many, and finding the right answer brings a sense of excitement that never fades. She describes her role as being “a bit of a best friend to people”.
Her newest book was shaped by a deeply personal loss. When she was a child, her grandfather died, and for years she worried she had missed signs that he was unwell. That experience stayed with her and formed a powerful belief: recognizing illness can be a life-saving skill, even for children. Through her book, she teaches young readers to recognize emergencies such as allergic reactions or heart attacks, and to take simple but vital steps — staying calm, calling 999, or placing someone in the recovery position. For Dr. Krishan, heroism begins with care, courage, and knowledge. “Children should know the basics of how to be a superhero in that moment,” she added.
4. What can we learn about Dr. Krishan from the first paragraph?
A. She takes on multiple roles. B. She excels in detailed work.
C. She takes pleasure in reading. D. She aims for public recognition.
5. Why did Dr. Krishan dive into science?
A. To tackle the scientific challenges. B. To make up for her childhood regret.
C. To observe the lives of patients better. D. To find explanations for what she observed.
6. How does Dr. Krishan find her work as a GP?
A. Fast-paced but fulfilling. B. Stressful but stable.
C. Challenging but well-paid. D. Exhausting but promising.
7. What does Dr. Krishan’s experience indicate according to the last paragraph?
A. Better late than never. B. Fix the roof before it rains.
C. Time and tide wait for no man. D. Opportunity favors the prepared mind.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. A 7. B

For centuries, the Rhine River has been celebrated as the lifeline of Europe, a vital waterway for commerce, culture, and ecology. However, a study published in January 2026 reveals a troubling modern reality: this historic river now acts as a massive conveyor belt for rubbish, carrying between 3,000 and 4,700 tons of large garbage into the North Sea every single year.
How could such a vast amount of waste have been missed? The answer lies in a revolutionary new research method. For an entire year, researchers worked with local citizen scientists to operate a special floating device called a litter trap. This device filtered (过滤) water from the surface down to 80 centimeters deep. Unlike older methods that relied on brief visual surveys, this long-term physical collection recorded the true, disorganized flow of garbage. The data showed enormous changes, with the amount of rubbish collected in a two-week period varying wildly from as few as 67 pieces to over 2,700, accounting for why short-term observations failed to get the full picture.
The collected garbage tells a clear story about its origins. Detailed analysis showed that while plastic items made up about 70% of all pieces, they were mostly lightweight, only 15% of the total weight. More importantly, over 56% of all rubbish was linked directly to the choices of individual consumers, with items like food wrappers and beverage (饮料) bottles being most common. Specific activities also left their mark, with litter from fireworks making up 10.7% of the total and tobacco-related waste like cigarette butts contributing another 6.5%.
This year-long project, powered in part by dedicated volunteers, proves that long-term, hands-on monitoring is essential to measure environmental challenges accurately. It provides a powerful model for how communities and scientists can work together to gather the evidence needed for action. The Rhine’s story is no longer just about its scenic beauty or economic importance; it is an urgent call to address the tide of waste our modern lifestyle creates, before it all washes out to sea.
8. What is the main finding of the 2026 study on the Rhine River?
A. It has a vital status in history.
B. It flows into the North Sea every year.
C. It becomes a carrier of massive rubbish.
D. It loses the role as a waterway for ecology.
9. Which of the following contributed to old methods’ failure?
A. Not involving local volunteers.
B. Lacking recorded data of advanced tools.
C. Only collecting water from the surface.
D. Missing dramatic changes in short surveys.
10. What can we learn from the figures in paragraph 3?
A. Fireworks were the most polluted activity.
B. Smoking had little effect on the environment.
C. Most rubbish came from personal consumption.
D. Plastics made up most of the weight.
11. What is the primary purpose of the passage?
A. To analyse origins of river garbage.
B. To emphasize pollution and urge action.
C. To explain a new method to clear rubbish.
D. To praise the project led by volunteers.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. B

Brands have spent years perfecting video marketing strategies. Nearly 78% of consumers trust videos with real people, according to research from video creation platform Animoto. That preference holds as AI video tools flood the market and brands race to create more content faster. The finding comes from Animoto’s State of Video 2026 report, based on a survey of 460 American consumers and marketers. As AI generates full videos from text prompts (提示), the truth remains: People still want to see other people.
The preference for human faces isn’t just about aesthetics (美学). More than 82% of consumers report watching videos that they believe were AI-generated, and among that group, 36% say it lowers their trust in the brand behind it. This creates a problem with the numbers for marketers. Even if AI tools can help produce videos faster, the resulting content may raise doubt that destroys the entire purpose of making the video in the first place.
Separate research cited in the report found that 88% of consumers consider brand trust as important as price and quality when making purchases. Three-quarters of US adults think it’s extremely or very important to know whether images, videos, or text were created by AI or people. This trust loss appears regardless of whether audiences correctly identify AI content. The survey showed that consumers believe they can spot AI-generated videos based on “an entire set of signals” and contextual mismatches, according to respondent Olga Mirkovic. Whether they’re right doesn’t matter. Perception alone affects how they view the brand.
Surveyed marketing professionals aren’t trying to remove humans from their videos. Despite pressure to produce more content faster, marketers still want control over which footage to use, how to present their brand voice, and when to put themselves on camera. Roya Safarian, a survey respondent, explained the balance: “AI can enhance storytelling as long as the brand still keeps a human touch. The key is balance: Technology should support the message, not replace the genuine voice behind it.”
12. What is the most effective trust-building video marketing strategy?
A. Making videos featuring real people.
B. Using AI to generate videos quickly.
C. Updating video production fashion.
D. Producing true video content faster.
13. In what circumstances does the trust loss occur?
A. When video aesthetics are poor. B. When video production speeds up.
C. When AI content is perceived. D. When brand trust is compared to price.
14. What do marketing professionals suggest AI be used for in video-making?
A. Generating videos automatically. B. Aiding in content creation as a tool.
C. Controlling brand voice directly. D. Replacing human presenters entirely.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Contrasting AI and Human-made Videos
B. Building Consumer Trust with AI Videos
C. Facing Trust Crisis in AI-generated Videos
D. Balancing Technology and Humanity in Videos
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文探讨了视频营销策略。研究发现,消费者更信任包含真人的视频,AI生成的内容可能会降低品牌信任度。因此,营销专家主张平衡技术与人性,让AI辅助而非取代真人,从而保持品牌真实感并建立信任。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Nearly 78% of consumers trust videos with real people (近78%的消费者相信真人拍摄的视频)”以及“As AI generates full videos from text prompts (提示), the truth remains: People still want to see other people. (虽然人工智能可以根据文本提示生成完整的视频,但事实仍然是:人们仍然希望看到其他人。)”可知,消费者依然信任并希望看到视频中有真人出现。由此可知,建立信任最有效的视频营销策略是制作以真实人物为特色的视频。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“This trust loss appears regardless of whether audiences correctly identify AI content. (无论观众是否正确识别人工智能内容,这种信任损失都会出现。)”以及“Perception alone affects how they view the brand. (感知本身就会影响他们对品牌的看法。)”可知,无论观众是否正确识别出AI内容,只要感知到内容是AI生成的,信任缺失就会发生。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Roya Safarian, a survey respondent, explained the balance: “AI can enhance storytelling as long as the brand still keeps a human touch. The key is balance: Technology should support the message, not replace the genuine voice behind it.” (调查受访者罗亚·萨法里安(Roya Safarian)解释了这种平衡:“只要品牌仍然保持人情味,人工智能就可以增强故事情节。关键在于平衡:技术应该支持信息,而不是取代信息背后真实的声音。”)”可知,营销专业人士认为AI应该作为辅助工具来增强叙事效果或支持信息传达,而不是替代人类或直接控制品牌声音。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章开头“Brands have spent years perfecting video marketing strategies. Nearly 78% of consumers trust videos with real people, according to research from video creation platform Animoto. That preference holds as AI video tools flood the market and brands race to create more content faster.(品牌花了数年时间完善视频营销策略。根据视频创作平台Animoto的研究,近78%的消费者信任真人制作的视频。随着人工智能视频工具充斥市场,各品牌竞相以更快的速度创造更多内容,这种偏好依然存在。)”指出尽管AI视频工具普及,但人们仍偏爱真人视频以建立信任;第二、三段论述了AI内容可能会导致信任缺失;最后一段指出营销专业人士希望在利用AI技术提高效率的同时,保留人文关怀,强调技术应支持而非替代人类。因此,文章主要讨论了在视频制作中如何在技术(AI)和人性(真人)之间取得平衡。D项“Balancing Technology and Humanity in Videos (在视频创作中平衡科技与人性)”能够概括文章主旨,最适合作为文章标题。故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍合肥获评2026年春晚分会场,依托科技与文化底蕴迎来发展新机遇。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:合肥,一座国家级科教中心,于上月正式被官宣为2026年春节联欢晚会分会场。center为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,结合句意,此处表示“一座国家级科教中心”,为泛指,且national是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这一消息在社交媒体上迅速传播,得到了市民们的广泛认可,在全市营造出喜庆的氛围。此处为非谓语动词作定语,The news与share为被动关系,所以用过去分词shared。故填shared。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:这一消息在社交媒体上迅速传播,得到了市民们的广泛认可,在全市营造出喜庆的氛围。此处作介词with的宾语,用approve的名词形式approval“认可”。故填approval。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:在过去十年里,合肥取得了重大科技突破,使其在科技领域获得全球认可。此处为谓语动词,根据时间状语“Over the past decade”可知,强调从过去到现在的情况,用现在完成时,主语breakthroughs与make之间为被动关系,所以此处使用现在完成时的被动语态,主语breakthroughs是复数,所以谓语动词为have been made。故填have been made。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:在过去十年里,合肥取得了重大科技突破,使其在科技领域获得全球认可。此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词指代前面整件事,在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which。故填which。
【41题详解】
考查强调句。句意:正是凭借创新与文化底蕴的融合,这座城市赢得了承办春晚的机会,这一荣誉被公认为其发展的里程碑。此处为强调句型“It is...that...”,被强调部分为原因状语,所以用that。故填that。
【42题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:当地居民对此次活动寄予厚望,许多人正准备打造一个结合AI投影与表演的舞台。此处作poured的宾语, expectation为可数名词,表示“期望”,所以用复数形式expectations。故填expectations。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:这座城市也将重点放在徽派建筑上。此处为固定搭配concentrate on,意为“集中于、专注于”,所以用介词on。故填on。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:大多数人认为合肥理应拥有这份高光时刻,因为春晚将助力巩固其充满活力的科技文化名城地位。此处为从句谓语动词,描述客观事实,应用一般现在时,主语Hefei是第三人称单数,所以用deserves。故填deserves。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:大多数人认为合肥理应拥有这份高光时刻,因为春晚将助力巩固其充满活力的科技文化名城地位。此处为固定搭配help (to) do sth.,意为“帮助做某事”。故填(to) strengthen。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Eva started her new job at a small charity called “Caring for Carers.” While checking the shared campaign folder, a name caught her eye: Adam Turner.
Memories suddenly flooded back. Adam had been her major opponent at school — a boy who always carried a leather briefcase while everyone else had backpacks. He was extremely talented at maths, while Eva excelled in English and history. They once failed a group project because they spent all their time arguing, unable to combine his logic with her creativity.
When the office door opened, a tall, handsome man walked in. It was Adam. He smiled broadly, “You do remember! Conker!” he teased, using her old nickname. Eva glared, but Adam quickly turned professional. “The Simpson Foundation is offering funding. If we make a convincing speech next Friday, they’ll pay for the whole campaign.”
As they worked together, the old disagreement remained. Adam was buried in precise budgets, while Eva insisted on using “creative” ideas to move the funders. Eva complained that he was too obsessed with figures, while Adam responded that her ideas were too impractical. They seemed to be back in their school days, fighting over every detail.
However, as the deadline approached, their relationship began to shift. Eva made an effort to understand his financial tables, and Adam started to appreciate the emotional power of Eva’s storytelling. One afternoon, they discovered some old black-and-white photos of people the charity had helped. Eva suggested using these to tell real stories, and Adam’s eyes lit up. He realized he could back those stories with data to prove their impact.
The day of the presentation finally arrived, which was also the final day of Eva’s trial period. Standing outside the boardroom, Eva felt her heart pounding. This wasn’t just about the funding; it was about whether she and her old opponent could finally succeed as a team.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Taking a deep breath, Eva and Adam stepped into the boardroom together.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As they walked out of the room, Joanna, their manager, was waiting for them with a bright smile.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文:
Taking a deep breath, Eva and Adam stepped into the boardroom together. Facing the group of funders, Adam kicked off the presentation with solid data, his voice steady and confident. Just as the atmosphere became a bit dry, Eva smoothly took over, weaving the touching stories behind the old photographs into her speech. She noticed the funders leaning forward, their expressions softening as they connected with the faces in the pictures. Adam didn’t interrupt her this time; instead, he nodded encouragingly, clicking through the slides in perfect time with her words. For the first time, their different strengths weren’t clashing — they were working in harmony, blending cold facts with warm hearts.
As they walked out of the room, Joanna, their manager, was waiting for them with a bright smile. She announced excitedly that the foundation was so impressed by their combined approach that the funding was officially theirs. Eva and Adam looked at each other, a wave of relief and victory washing over them. Adam turned to Eva, his eyes twinkling, and joked that they had finally passed that media studies project from years ago. Eva laughed, realizing that her”school enemy” had turned into her best partner. She hadn’t just found a perfect job; she had found a friendship she once thought impossible, proving that even the strongest competitors could make the finest team.
