There’s no place like home — a place to put your feet up relax and be yourself. But a brand new full-service private rental property named Homestead is redefining (重新定义) modern living, making you feel at home.
Freed from the small stuff
Right from moving in, convenience is built into the process, with fully-furnished, high-quality apartments available for residents and access to all facilities of Homestead and Wi-Fi included in monthly rental cost.
Feel at home
Not only are Homestead’s apartments beautifully designed and furnished to create a sense of relaxation and luxury, but the shared spaces for residents to use and socialise in — from the inviting reception area to the landscaped roof garden and stylish private dining rooms — all reflect a contemporary, high-quality reimagining of what renting ought to be.
Make hybrid work really work
As hybrid work, which focuses on the flexibility of working, is part of our lives now, the opportunity to shift between workspaces with ease is critical. Start the day catching up on emails in a stylishly-designed co-working space steps away from your front door, before taking calls on the outside platform or travel into your employer’s office when you need to.
Be a people person
Living at Homestead means joining a community of like-minded people. Whether you meet neighbours on the roof garden or in the cinema room, or choose to network in the co-working space, making friends couldn’t be more straightforward.
Tap here for helpful services
They say there’s an app for everything — and in this case, there is an app with everything. The Homestead App gives you quick access to a range of bookable services, from ordering takeaway to dog walking to cleaning services — all right on your doorstep, meaning more time to actually enjoy the rest of your day.

Last summer, I volunteered in a Yunnan village of the Blang ethnic group for a “Cultural Heritage protection” activity. The village has a unique traditional weaving craft with a history of hundreds of years, but it is at risk of disappearing as fewer young people are willing to learn it amid modern industrial development.
When we arrived at the village, we were warmly welcomed by the local people. An elderly woman named Grandma Mu, who is one of the few remaining master weavers in the village, invited us to her home. She showed us her weaving works — colorful scarves, bags, and blankets, each with beautiful patterns that tell stories about the Blang people’s life and nature. As she talked about the craft, her eyes sparkled with pride. But when she mentioned that no young people in her family wanted to learn it, her voice became low and sad.
To help promote the traditional weaving craft, we decided to do several things. First, we took photos and videos of Grandma Mu weaving and her works, and posted them on social media platforms to let more people know about this precious cultural heritage. Then, we organized a small weaving workshop, inviting Grandma Mu to teach the village’s young people some basic weaving skills. At first, only a few young people came, but as they learned more, they became more interested. They were surprised by the beauty of the patterns and the patience required for weaving.
After two weeks, I not only learned about the weaving craft but also saw changes in the young people, some of whom wanted to continue learning. Before leaving, Grandma Mu gave me a hand-woven bag, saying, “This craft is our root — we must keep it alive.”
Every time I look at that woven bag, I think about the importance of protecting cultural heritage. It is not just about preserving old crafts, but about keeping the history and identity of a group of people alive.
4. Why is the Blang’s traditional weaving craft at risk of disappearing?
A. Modern industry makes young people unwilling to learn it.
B. Weaving works are not popular anymore.
C. Grandma Mu refuses to teach others.
D. The village lacks weaving tools.
5. What can we infer from Grandma Mu’s feelings about the weaving craft?
A. She is proud but worried about its future.
B. She wants to sell all her weaving works.
C. She plans to move to another village.
D. She thinks the craft is useless now.
6. What did the volunteers do to promote the weaving craft?
A. They taught the young people to make modern bags.
B. They asked tourists to buy Grandma Mu’s works.
C. They posted photos online and held a workshop.
D. They built a weaving factory for the village.
7. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The volunteers visited a beautiful village in Yunnan.
B. Volunteers help protect Blang’s traditional weaving.
C. Grandma Mu is good at making woven bags.
D. The Blang people are friendly to volunteers.
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C 7. B

It is bees who pollinate (授粉) much of our food in the world. Bees are among the most important pollinators of crops and vegetables. A 2024 U.N. report found that the annual total value of global crops directly affected by pollinators is between $ 235 billion and $ 577 billion. Without bees to pollinate our food, we’d have a third less variety of food to choose from.
There are around 3,500 species of bees in the United States. As a product of poor urban planning and uncontrollable industrialization in the modern age, they are being threatened in many ways. All of these bee species are dramatically dropping in numbers. Currently, 156 species are listed as vulnerable (易危状态), 20 as endangered, and 11 as critically endangered.
With the advent of Big Agriculture, large commercial farms have destroyed crop diversity and bees’ natural habitats. Land in the Midwest and Northeast America has been converted into monoculture farms that only produce one crop. Commercial farms’ lack of crop diversity means there is less food and food variety for bees to live on. In addition, bees lose their habitat when inconsiderate urban development transforms green spaces into roads or cities.
Unpredictable weather patterns affect bees’ nesting behavior. Hotter temperatures, heavier rains, or shorter springs change the time when plants begin to flower. Consequently, they will affect how crops are pollinated. Climate crisis also has an impact on bees’ travel range.
Colony Collapse Disorder (蜂群崩溃综合症) is the phenomenon that occurs when the majority of worker bees in a colony disappear and leave behind a queen and a few nurse bees to care for the remaining immature bees and the queen. Affected colonies have experienced death rates as high as 90%.
There are many ways you can help bees and preserve their habitats. Participate in the North American pollinator protection campaign, a collaboration of scientists, businesses and non-governmental organizations devoted to pollinator conservation and education. Do your research on how to plant a bee-friendly garden or simply add a flowering tree to your yard.
8. What do the figures in the first paragraph suggest?
A. The variety in our food is on the decrease.
B. Global crop production relies totally on bees.
C. Pollinators help contribute a lot to food every year.
D. Bees are the most important pollinators of crops and vegetables.
9. What does the underlined word “advent” in the third paragraph mean?
A. change. B. influence.
C. guidance. D. arrival.
10. What causes the colony collapse Disorder?
A. The disappearance of the majority of worker bees.
B. Unpredictable weather patterns affecting bees’ behavior.
C. Destruction of bees’ natural habitat reducing food variety.
D. Urban development changing green spaces into roads or cities.
11. What can be the best title of the passage?
A. Ways to protect Bee Habitats
B. Bees: Key pollinators in Danger
C. Economic Value of Bee pollination
D. CCD: A Threat to Bee Colonies
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了蜜蜂作为重要传粉者的经济价值,分析了其面临的多种威胁,并呼吁人们采取措施保护蜜蜂及其栖息地。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“A 2024 U.N. report found that the annual total value of global crops directly affected by pollinators is between $ 235 billion and $ 577 billion. (2024年联合国的一份报告发现,全球受传粉者直接影响的农作物年度总价值在2350亿至5770亿美元之间)”可知,第一段中的数据表明传粉者每年对农作物贡献巨大。故选C项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“With the advent of Big Agriculture, large commercial farms have destroyed crop diversity and bees’ natural habitats. Land in the Midwest and Northeast America has been converted into monoculture farms that only produce one crop.(随着大农业的advent,大型商业农场破坏了作物多样性和蜜蜂的自然栖息地。美国中西部和东北部的土地已经变成了只生产一种作物的单一农场)”可知,是“大农业”的出现导致美国中西部和东北部的土地已经变成了只生产一种作物的单一农场,破坏了作物多样性和蜜蜂的自然栖息地。故划线词advent意为“到来;出现”,与“arrival”同义。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Colony Collapse Disorder (蜂群崩溃综合症) is the phenomenon that occurs when the majority of worker bees in a colony disappear and leave behind a queen and a few nurse bees to care for the remaining immature bees and the queen. (蜂群崩溃综合症是指蜂群中大多数工蜂消失,只留下蜂王和几只保育蜂照顾剩余未成熟蜜蜂和蜂王时发生的现象)”可知,蜂群崩溃综合症是由大多数工蜂消失引起的。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段“Bees are among the most important pollinators of crops and vegetables. (蜜蜂是农作物和蔬菜最重要的传粉者之一)”、第二段“All of these bee species are dramatically dropping in numbers. Currently, 156 species are listed as vulnerable, 20 as endangered, and 11 as critically endangered (易危状态). (所有这些蜜蜂物种的数量都在急剧下降。目前,有156种被列为易危状态,20种为濒危状态,11种为极危状态)”和最后一段中“There are many ways you can help bees and preserve their habitats.(有很多方法可以帮助蜜蜂并保护它们的栖息地)”可知,本文主要围绕蜜蜂这一关键传粉者面临的危险展开。故B项“Bees: Key pollinators in Danger (蜜蜂:处于危险中的关键传粉者)”能概括文章内容,最适合做文章标题。故选B项。
D
One of my bad habits is saying “busy” when people ask me how I’m doing. Sometimes it’s because I actually am busy, but other times it’s because that’s what I think I’m supposed to say. That’s what important people say. That’s what people who get promoted say. But working long hours doesn’t drive better results. Never taking a vacation won’t lead to a promotion. So why are we so proud to talk about how busy we are all the time?
In 2016, researchers from Columbia, Harvard, and Georgetown conducted a study to figure it out. They found busy people are perceived to be of high status, and interestingly, these status attributions are heavily influenced by our own beliefs about social mobility. In other words, the more we believe that one has the opportunity for success based on hard work, the more we tend to think that people who skip leisure and work all the time are of higher standing.
That’s why we feel like we have to appear busy, and there’s a real perception that if someone is knee-deep in meetings, emails, and stress, then they’re probably a big deal. This culture of busyness is making it hard for employees to find work-life balance. According to a recent study, one in five highly engaged employees is at risk of burnout.
Personally, I’m going to stop saying “busy” when people ask me how I am. It sounds self-righteous (自以为是的) and sets the wrong tone. Phrases like “I have limited access to email” and “I’ll respond as soon as I get back” sound like you’re being held against your will from working as opposed to making the most of your time off.
By rejecting the myth that business equals worth, we free ourselves and others from exhaustion. True success isn’t about working harder; it’s about working smarter and finding balance. Let’s redefine what it means to be productive — and start valuing rest as much as effort.
12. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph?
A. By quoting famous people. B. By presenting statistical data.
C. By comparing different opinions. D. By introducing personal experience.
13. Why do we tend to think that busy people are of high status?
A. Our status can be attributed to our social mobility.
B. We hold the belief that hard work leads to success.
C. Our own opportunity for success never comes easily.
D. We find few people of high status have time for leisure.
14. What does the underlined phrase “knee-deep in” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Bored with. B. Worried about.
C. Fully involved in. D. Very interested in.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To advise employees on how to achieve work-life balance.
B. To share his personal experience of overcoming a bad habit.
C. To introduce a study on people’s attitude towards busyness.
D. To argue against the culture of equating busyness with worth.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章作者结合个人经历探讨了“忙碌等于价值”这一文化现象,指出其导致工作与生活失衡、员工面临倦怠风险,呼吁重新定义生产力,重视休息与平衡。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“One of my bad habits is saying “busy” when people ask me how I’m doing. Sometimes it’s because I actually am busy, but other times it’s because that’s what I think I’m supposed to say. That’s what important people say.(我的一个坏习惯是当别人问我过得怎么样时,我总是说“忙”。有时是因为我真的很忙,但其他时候是因为我觉得我应该这么说。)”可知,作者在第一段中通过介绍个人经历来引入话题。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“They found busy people are perceived to be of high status, and interestingly, these status attributions are heavily influenced by our own beliefs about social mobility. In other words, the more we believe that one has the opportunity for success based on hard work, the more we tend to think that people who skip leisure and work all the time are of higher standing.(他们发现忙碌的人被认为地位很高,有趣的是,这些地位归因在很大程度上受到我们自己对社会流动性的看法的影响。换句话说,我们越相信一个人有机会通过努力工作取得成功,我们就越倾向于认为那些放弃休闲、一直工作的人地位更高。)”可知,我们倾向于认为忙碌的人地位很高是因为我们相信努力工作会带来成功。故选B。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“That’s why we feel like we have to appear busy(这就是为什么我们总觉得自己必须表现得很忙)”和下文“This culture of busyness is making it hard for employees to find work-life balance.(这种“忙碌文化”让员工很难找到工作与生活的平衡点。)”可知,人们确实普遍认为,要是有人深陷会议、邮件和压力之中,那他很可能是个重要人物。由此可知,knee-deep in意思是“深陷于”,选项C“Fully involved in”意思是“完全参与其中”,符合语境。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“By rejecting the myth that business equals worth, we free ourselves and others from exhaustion. True success isn’t about working harder; it’s about working smarter and finding balance. Let’s redefine what it means to be productive — and start valuing rest as much as effort.(通过拒绝“忙碌等于价值”这一谬论,我们使自己和他人从疲惫中解脱出来。真正的成功不在于更努力地工作,而在于更聪明地工作并找到平衡。让我们重新定义什么是高效——并开始像重视努力一样重视休息。)”可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是反对将忙碌等同于价值的文化。故选D。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In our constant pursuit of productivity and achievement, we often overlook the quality of our daily experiences. We fill our hours with tasks, yet wonder why we so frequently feel exhausted, distracted, or unsatisfied. What if the key to a more fulfilling life isn’t about doing more, but about doing differently? This begins by recognizing that not all activities affect us equally. ___16___ Understanding what each category truly is helps make better choices.
Living activities are the activities that stretch you. They might feel challenging at first, but they match with your values and leave you with a real sense of meaning. ___17___ These types of experiences take more effort than pleasing activities, but they often help us feel more alive.
___18___ You don’t need to plan them far in advance or clear out a full afternoon. It might be a walk in nature, listening to your favorite playlist, or calling a friend just to say hello. These are simple joys that don’t require much but offer a genuine reward. One of the biggest misconceptions about fun is that it has to be some grand event. In truth, the most restorative moments often come from these smaller, everyday pleasures.
Yielding activities are activities that require little effort but offer little satisfaction. Think of the mindless scanning through social media. Or visualize the repeated check of your inbox without urgency. ___19___ But when overused, they quietly replace more meaningful experiences.
Once you’ve reflected on how you currently spend your time, try making one small shift each day. Choose a pleasing or living activity you would like to engage in more, even something simple like a short walk or trying something new that is consistent with your values. ___20___
A. Pleasing activities are low-effort, high-reward.
B. These activities can be harmless ways to relax.
C. The results can be categorized into three primary areas.
D. Activities actually can be divided into different categories.
E. Instead, people should keep their distance from social media.
F. The aim is to trade moments of distraction for ones of full engagement.
G. It could be learning a new skill that pushes you out of your comfort zone.
【答案】16. D 17. G 18. A 19. B 20. F

【17题详解】
由上文“Living activities are the activities that stretch you. They might feel challenging at first, but they match with your values and leave you with a real sense of meaning.(“成长型活动”是能让你突破自我的活动。它们一开始可能会让人觉得有挑战性,但符合你的价值观,能给你带来真正的意义感。)”可知,本空要举例说明成长型活动的具体形式,G选项“It could be learning a new skill that pushes you out of your comfort zone.(它可以是学习一项能让你走出舒适区的新技能。)”能承接上文,符合题意,该选项中的“pushes you out of your comfort zone”与上文的“stretch you”及“challenging”相呼应,表示成长型活动的特点。故选G。
【18题详解】
由下文“You don’t need to plan them far in advance or clear out a full afternoon. It might be a walk in nature, listening to your favorite playlist, or calling a friend just to say hello. These are simple joys that don’t require much but offer a genuine reward.(你不需要提前很久规划,也不用腾出一整个下午的时间。它可以是在大自然中散步、听你最喜欢的歌单,或是给朋友打个电话问候一下。这些都是不需要付出太多却能带来真正愉悦的简单快乐。)”可知,本空要介绍“愉悦型活动”的特点,A选项“Pleasing activities are low-effort, high-reward.(“愉悦型活动”是低付出、高回报的。)”能引出下文,符合题意,该选项中的“low-effort, high-reward”与下文的“don’t need to plan”及“don’t require much but offer a genuine reward”相呼应,表示愉悦型活动的特点。故选A。
【19题详解】
由上文“Yielding activities are activities that require little effort but offer little satisfaction. Think of the mindless scanning through social media. Or visualize the repeated check of your inbox without urgency.(“消耗型活动”是付出少但满足感也少的活动。比如无意识地刷社交媒体,或是频繁检查并不紧急的收件箱。)”以及下文“But when overused, they quietly replace more meaningful experiences.(但过度参与时,它们会悄悄取代更有意义的体验。)”可知,本空要说明消耗型活动并非完全有害,B选项“These activities can be harmless ways to relax.(这些活动可以是无害的放松方式。)”能承上启下,符合题意,该选项中的“harmless ways to relax”与下文的“when overused, they quietly replace more meaningful experiences”形成转折,说明消耗型活动的双面性。故选B。
【20题详解】
由上文“Once you’ve reflected on how you currently spend your time, try making one small shift each day. Choose a pleasing or living activity you would like to engage in more, even something simple like a short walk or trying something new that is consistent with your values.(当你反思了自己目前的时间分配后,试着每天做一个小改变。选择一个你想多参与的愉悦型或成长型活动,哪怕是像短途散步这样简单的事,或是尝试与你价值观相符的新事物。)”可知,本空要说明这种改变的目的,F选项“The aim is to trade moments of distraction for ones of full engagement.(目的是把分心的时刻换成全情投入的时刻。)”能总结上文,符合题意,该选项中的“trade moments of distraction for ones of full engagement”与上文的“make one small shift”及“choose a pleasing or living activity”相呼应,表示调整活动类型的目标。故选F。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一本关于秦腔的综合性指南在北京出版,详细阐述了这本书的内容、目的及其对秦腔这一非物质文化遗产的保护和传承所做出的贡献。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这本名为《秦腔》的书籍既是一本艺术伴侣,也是一本视觉相册,收录了300多张高清舞台照片和详细的手绘插图,让读者深入了解秦腔这一复杂艺术形式及其千年演变。本句已有谓语动词serves,且空处没有连词,所以空处需用非谓语动词;title与主语the volume之间为被动关系,所以空处需用过去分词titled作状语,句首单词首字母需大写。故填Titled。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意同上。offer sb. a look into...为固定搭配,意为“让某人深入了解……”,所以空处需用不定冠词a。故填a。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意:这本书不仅追溯了这种艺术形式千年的发展历程,还生动地捕捉了传承人的艺术生活和奉献精神,突出了大师表演者的舞台技艺,并探讨了关键机构的创作工作。空处修饰动词captures,需用副词vividly作状语。故填vividly。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意同上。空处与lives并列为名词作宾语,dedicate的名词形式dedication“奉献”符合题意,为不可数名词。故填dedication。
【40题详解】
考查连词。句意:这本书不仅追溯了这种艺术形式千年的发展历程,还生动地捕捉了传承人的艺术生活和奉献精神,突出了大师表演者的舞台技艺,并探讨了关键机构的创作工作。空处前后句之间为并列关系,需用连词and连接。故填and。
【41题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:作者丁科民解释说,秦腔在音乐和表演结构上经历了快速发展,在清朝康熙和乾隆时期达到了顶峰,当时在全国范围内都有影响。根据时间状语during the periods of Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty可知,空处谓语动词需用一般过去时。故填underwent。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意同上。分析句子结构可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是the periods of Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty,关系词在定语从句中作时间状语,所以空处需用关系副词when引导定语从句。故填when。
【43题详解】
考查代词。句意:尽管秦腔有着丰富的遗产,但目前关于这一主题的大部分出版物都是针对专家和专业人士的,普通读者可获得的资料存在空白。空处修饰名词heritage,需用形容词性物主代词its。故填its。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:因此,丁创作了这本书,以弥合学术研究与大众理解之间的鸿沟,将古老传统与年轻魅力相结合,将经典艺术与现代呈现相结合。本句已有谓语动词created,且空处没有连词,所以空处需用非谓语动词;结合句意可知,空处需用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to bridge。
【45题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:他说,这本书旨在将秦腔介绍给更广泛的观众,并将这种艺术形式带到专业圈子之外。空处修饰名词audience,需用形容词;结合句意可知,此处表示更广泛的观众,所以用形容词比较级broader。故填broader。

【答案】 Small Moves, Big Health
Since the launch of the “Small Moves, Big Health” activity, I've seized fragmented time to practice light exercise consistently.
During 10-minute class breaks, I skip rope with classmates. On my way to and from school, I walk 20 minutes instead of taking the bus. After evening self-study, I do 5-minute stretches to relax tired muscles. These tiny acts have become my daily routine.
The gains are remarkable. Physically I'm more energetic in classes and rarely get sick. Mentally, short workouts relieve my study stress, helping me focus better. Truly, small consistent moves bring big health benefits. I'll stick to these habits, as every tiny step leads to a healthier life.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Thanksgiving Day was nearly here, and the small town smelled of warm cinnamon. For Mrs Henderson’s Year One class, that meant a special task: “Draw something you’re thankful for.” When she wrote it on the whiteboard, the children’s eyes lit up with excitement.
Many families in the class didn’t have much money. fancy dinners and new toys were scarce, yet the children still loved Thanksgiving. They chatted about Mum’s roast turkey, sweet cranberry sauce, and granny’s pies that made kitchens smell wonderful. Mrs Henderson smiled, guessing she would see lots of colourful pictures of good foods. By break time, indeed, most desks were covered with orange and brown crayon drawings of turkeys and pies.
However, Douglas was different. His clothes were too large, and his shoes were torn. During break, he never played with the other children. Instead, he stood beside Mrs Henderson, shoulders hunched, hands in hers, eyes full of sadness well beyond his six years. She tried talking to him, but he only mumbled (叽咕) or nodded, then looked away.
When the break ended, Mrs Henderson walked around the classroom, praising each child’s work — bright suns and funny- looking turkeys — until she reached Douglas’s desk. On his paper was just one thing: a simple pencil drawing of a hand, with no colour or detail. Mrs Henderson felt puzzled but said nothing, realising Douglas must have a reason for his choice.
At the end of the lesson, several children gathered around Douglas’s desk.
“Is it a farmer’s hand? They raise turkeys” Mia asked excitedly.
“No, it must be a police officer’s hand. They keep us safe,” Jake said.
“Maybe it’s God’s hand, because God looks after everyone,” Lila suggested.
They chattered until Mrs Henderson asked them to pack away. The children left with laughter and smiles, but Douglas slipped out silently.
When the classroom emptied, Mrs Henderson sat by Douglas’s desk, looking at the lonely hand on the page. Then she heard a small cough. Douglas had come back, backpack hanging from one shoulder, eyes cast down.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph one:
“Whose hand did you draw?”Mrs Henderson asked softly.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph two:
“Thank you,” she said, voice warm, “This is the best gift I’ve ever received.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Paragraph one:
“Whose hand did you draw?” Mrs Henderson asked softly. Douglas looked up, his eyes meeting hers, and then he whispered, “It’s your hand, Mrs Henderson.” He explained that whenever he felt lonely or scared, her hand would reach out to comfort him, whether it was a gentle pat on the back or a reassuring squeeze of his shoulder. He said that her hand made him feel safe and loved, which was something he cherished deeply, especially since he didn’t have much of that at home.
Paragraph two:
“Thank you,” she said, voice warm, “This is the best gift I’ve ever received.” She reached out and gently took Douglas’s hand in hers, feeling a connection that went beyond words. She told him that his drawing reminded her of the true spirit of Thanksgiving, which was not just about delicious food or fancy gifts, but about gratitude for the people who cared for us. Douglas smiled, his eyes shining with happiness, knowing that he had given Mrs Henderson something truly special that day, a memory that would stay with her forever.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。在感恩节前夕,Henderson老师让学生画感恩之物,多数孩子画了美食,而家境贫寒、性格孤僻的Douglas却画了一只简单的手。同学们纷纷猜测,最后教室空了,Douglas回来,Henderson老师坐在他桌旁看着画。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“‘你画的是谁的手?’Henderson夫人轻声问。”可知,第一段可先描写 Douglas的回应,再通过他的解释,交代画老师手的原因 —— 老师的手在他孤独害怕时给予安慰,让他感受到安全感与爱,体现老师对他的关怀。
②由第二段句首内容“‘谢谢你,’她声音温暖地说,‘这是我收到过的最好的礼物。’”可知,第二段可描写老师收到礼物后的感动与回应,通过她的话语点明感恩节的真正意义是感恩关怀自己的人,最后描写Douglas的喜悦,凸显师生间真挚的情感联结。
2.续写线索:老师询问画作对象 ——Douglas 回应并解释画老师手的原因 —— 老师感谢并称赞礼物珍贵 —— 老师阐述感恩节的真谛 ——Douglas 因礼物传递心意而喜悦 —— 师生间形成超越言语的情感共鸣
3.词汇激活

②低语,轻声说:whisper/speak softly/murmur
③解释:explain/elucidate

【高分句型2】Douglas smiled, his eyes shining with happiness, knowing that he had given Mrs Henderson something truly special that day, a memory that would stay with her forever. (运用了第一个that引导的宾语从句、第三个that引导的定语从句)

There’s no place like home — a place to put your feet up, relax and be yourself. But a brand new full-service private rental property named Homestead is redefining (重新定义) modern living, making you feel at home.
Freed from the small stuff
Right from moving in, convenience is built into the process, with fully-furnished, high-quality apartments available for residents and access to all facilities of Homestead and Wi-Fi included in monthly rental cost.
Feel at home
Not only are Homestead’s apartments beautifully designed and furnished to create a sense of relaxation and luxury, but the shared spaces for residents to use and socialise in — from the inviting reception area to the landscaped roof garden and stylish private dining rooms — all reflect a contemporary, high-quality reimagining of what renting ought to be.
Make hybrid work really work
As hybrid work, which focuses on the flexibility of working, is part of our lives now, the opportunity to shift between workspaces with ease is critical. Start the day catching up on emails in a stylishly-designed co-working space steps away from your front door, before taking calls on the outside platform or travel into your employer’s office when you need to.
Be a people person
Living at Homestead means joining a community of like-minded people. Whether you meet neighbours on the roof garden or in the cinema room, or choose to network in the co-working space, making friends couldn’t be more straightforward.
Tap here for helpful services
They say there’s an app for everything — and in this case, there is an app with everything. The Homestead App gives you quick access to a range of bookable services, from ordering takeaway to dog walking to cleaning services — all right on your doorstep, meaning more time to actually enjoy the rest of your day.
Visit Homestead and discover how full-service rental lets you make the most of homelike living.

Last summer, I volunteered in a Yunnan village of the Blang ethnic group for a “Cultural Heritage protection” activity. The village has a unique traditional weaving craft with a history of hundreds of years, but it is at risk of disappearing as fewer young people are willing to learn it amid modern industrial development.
When we arrived at the village, we were warmly welcomed by the local people. An elderly woman named Grandma Mu, who is one of the few remaining master weavers in the village, invited us to her home. She showed us her weaving works — colorful scarves, bags, and blankets, each with beautiful patterns that tell stories about the Blang people’s life and nature. As she talked about the craft, her eyes sparkled with pride. But when she mentioned that no young people in her family wanted to learn it, her voice became low and sad.
To help promote the traditional weaving craft we decided to do several things. First, we took photos and videos of Grandma Mu weaving and her works, and posted them on social media platforms to let more people know about this precious cultural heritage. Then, we organized a small weaving workshop, inviting Grandma Mu to teach the village’s young people some basic weaving skills. At first, only a few young people came, but as they learned more, they became more interested. They were surprised by the beauty of the patterns and the patience required for weaving.
After two weeks, I not only learned about the weaving craft but also saw changes in the young people, some of whom wanted to continue learning. Before leaving, Grandma Mu gave me a hand-woven bag, saying, “This craft is our root — we must keep it alive.”
Every time I look at that woven bag, I think about the importance of protecting cultural heritage. It is not just about preserving old crafts, but about keeping the history and identity of a group of people alive.

It is bees who pollinate (授粉) much of our food in the world. Bees are among the most important pollinators of crops and vegetables. A 2024 U.N. report found that the annual total value of global crops directly affected by pollinators is between $ 235 billion and $ 577 billion. Without bees to pollinate our food, we’d have a third less variety of food to choose from.
There are around 3,500 species of bees in the United States. As a product of poor urban planning and uncontrollable industrialization in the modern age, they are being threatened in many ways. All of these bee species are dramatically dropping in numbers. Currently, 156 species are listed as vulnerable (易危状态), 20 as endangered, and 11 as critically endangered.
With the advent of Big Agriculture, large commercial farms have destroyed crop diversity and bees’ natural habitats. Land in the Midwest and Northeast America has been converted into monoculture farms that only produce one crop. Commercial farms’ lack of crop diversity means there is less food and food variety for bees to live on. In addition, bees lose their habitat when inconsiderate urban development transforms green spaces into roads or cities.
Unpredictable weather patterns affect bees’ nesting behavior. Hotter temperatures, heavier rains, or shorter springs change the time when plants begin to flower. Consequently, they will affect how crops are pollinated. Climate crisis also has an impact on bees’ travel range.
Colony Collapse Disorder (蜂群崩溃综合症) is the phenomenon that occurs when the majority of worker bees in a colony disappear and leave behind a queen and a few nurse bees to care for the remaining immature bees and the queen. Affected colonies have experienced death rates as high as 90%.
There are many ways you can help bees and preserve their habitats. Participate in the North American pollinator protection campaign, a collaboration of scientists, businesses and non-governmental organizations devoted to pollinator conservation and education. Do your research on how to plant a bee-friendly garden or simply add a flowering tree to your yard.
8. What do the figures in the first paragraph suggest?
A. The variety in our food is on the decrease.
B. Global crop production relies totally on bees.
C. Pollinators help contribute a lot to food every year.
D. Bees are the most important pollinators of crops and vegetables.
9. What does the underlined word “advent” in the third paragraph mean?
A. change. B. influence.
C. guidance. D. arrival.
10. What causes the colony collapse Disorder?
A. The disappearance of the majority of worker bees.
B. Unpredictable weather patterns affecting bees’ behavior.
C. Destruction of bees’ natural habitat reducing food variety.
D. Urban development changing green spaces into roads or cities.
11. What can be the best title of the passage?
A. Ways to protect Bee Habitats
B. Bees: Key pollinators in Danger
C. Economic Value of Bee pollination
D. CCD: A Threat to Bee Colonies
D
One of my bad habits is saying “busy” when people ask me how I’m doing. Sometimes it’s because I actually am busy, but other times it’s because that’s what I think I’m supposed to say. That’s what important people say. That’s what people who get promoted say. But working long hours doesn’t drive better results. Never taking a vacation won’t lead to a promotion. So why are we so proud to talk about how busy we are all the time?
In 2016, researchers from Columbia, Harvard, and Georgetown conducted a study to figure it out. They found busy people are perceived to be of high status, and interestingly, these status attributions are heavily influenced by our own beliefs about social mobility. In other words, the more we believe that one has the opportunity for success based on hard work, the more we tend to think that people who skip leisure and work all the time are of higher standing.
That’s why we feel like we have to appear busy, and there’s a real perception that if someone is knee-deep in meetings, emails, and stress, then they’re probably a big deal. This culture of busyness is making it hard for employees to find work-life balance. According to a recent study, one in five highly engaged employees is at risk of burnout.
Personally, I’m going to stop saying “busy” when people ask me how I am. It sounds self-righteous (自以为是的) and sets the wrong tone. Phrases like “I have limited access to email” and “I’ll respond as soon as I get back” sound like you’re being held against your will from working as opposed to making the most of your time off.
By rejecting the myth that business equals worth, we free ourselves and others from exhaustion. True success isn’t about working harder; it’s about working smarter and finding balance. Let’s redefine what it means to be productive — and start valuing rest as much as effort.
12. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph?
A. By quoting famous people. B. By presenting statistical data.
C. By comparing different opinions. D. By introducing personal experience.
13. Why do we tend to think that busy people are of high status?
A. Our status can be attributed to our social mobility.
B. We hold the belief that hard work leads to success.
C. Our own opportunity for success never comes easily.
D. We find few people of high status have time for leisure.
14. What does the underlined phrase “knee-deep in” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Bored with. B. Worried about.
C. Fully involved in. D. Very interested in.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To advise employees on how to achieve work-life balance.
B. To share his personal experience of overcoming a bad habit.
C. To introduce a study on people’s attitude towards busyness.
D. To argue against the culture of equating busyness with worth.

In our constant pursuit of productivity and achievement, we often overlook the quality of our daily experiences. We fill our hours with tasks, yet wonder why we so frequently feel exhausted, distracted, or unsatisfied. What if the key to a more fulfilling life isn’t about doing more, but about doing differently? This begins by recognizing that not all activities affect us equally. ___16___ Understanding what each category truly is helps make better choices.
Living activities are the activities that stretch you. They might feel challenging at first, but they match with your values and leave you with a real sense of meaning. ___17___ These types of experiences take more effort than pleasing activities, but they often help us feel more alive.
___18___ You don’t need to plan them far in advance or clear out a full afternoon. It might be a walk in nature, listening to your favorite playlist, or calling a friend just to say hello.

In truth, the most restorative moments often come from these smaller, everyday pleasures.
Yielding activities are activities that require little effort but offer little satisfaction. Think of the mindless scanning through social media. Or visualize the repeated check of your inbox without urgency. ___19___ But when overused, they quietly replace more meaningful experiences.
Once you’ve reflected on how you currently spend your time, try making one small shift each day. Choose a pleasing or living activity you would like to engage in more, even something simple like a short walk or trying something new that is consistent with your values. ___20___

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。
Thanksgiving Day was nearly here, and the small town smelled of warm cinnamon. For Mrs Henderson’s Year One class, that meant a special task: “Draw something you’re thankful for.” When she wrote it on the whiteboard, the children’s eyes lit up with excitement.
Many families in the class didn’t have much money. fancy dinners and new toys were scarce, yet the children still loved Thanksgiving. They chatted about Mum’s roast turkey, sweet cranberry sauce, and granny’s pies that made kitchens smell wonderful. Mrs Henderson smiled, guessing she would see lots of colourful pictures of good foods. By break time, indeed, most desks were covered with orange and brown crayon drawings of turkeys and pies.
However, Douglas was different. His clothes were too large, and his shoes were torn. During break, he never played with the other children. Instead, he stood beside Mrs Henderson, shoulders hunched, hands in hers, eyes full of sadness well beyond his six years. She tried talking to him, but he only mumbled (叽咕) or nodded, then looked away.
When the break ended, Mrs Henderson walked around the classroom, praising each child’s work — bright suns and funny- looking turkeys — until she reached Douglas’s desk. On his paper was just one thing: a simple pencil drawing of a hand, with no colour or detail. Mrs Henderson felt puzzled but said nothing, realising Douglas must have a reason for his choice.
At the end of the lesson, several children gathered around Douglas’s desk.
“Is it a farmer’s hand? They raise turkeys” Mia asked excitedly.
“No, it must be a police officer’s hand. They keep us safe,” Jake said.
“Maybe it’s God’s hand, because God looks after everyone,” Lila suggested.
They chattered until Mrs Henderson asked them to pack away. The children left with laughter and smiles, but Douglas slipped out silently.
When the classroom emptied, Mrs Henderson sat by Douglas’s desk, looking at the lonely hand on the page. Then she heard a small cough. Douglas had come back, backpack hanging from one shoulder, eyes cast down.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph one:
“Whose hand did you draw?”Mrs Henderson asked softly.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph two:
“Thank you,” she said, voice warm, “This is the best gift I’ve ever received.”
