F.Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24,1896, an American novelist, was once a student of St.Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton. University for a short while. In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.
His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary:“ My own happiness in the past often got such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”
This side of paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel the Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Thales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest success was the novel The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quickly brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.
However, Fitzgerald’s problems with his wife Zelda had an effect on his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reord his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first break down and went to a Swiss clinic. During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The love of the last Tycoon in 1940.

A new study has found that smiling at London bus drivers increases happiness. However, on the Number 24 bus to Hampstead Heath, Londoners are sceptical. “Bus drivers,” says Liz Hands, a passenger, “are generally annoying.”
It might seem improbable that a report on London’s buses could change behaviour. But it has happened before. London’s buses have an underappreciated role in the history of medical science. In the 1940s, a single study of London’s transport workers transformed epidemiology (流行病学), medicine and the way we live now. Every time you go on a run, check your step-count, or take the stairs instead of the lift, you are following a path pioneered by the feet of the workers on London’s buses.
In the late 1940s, doctors were worried. Britain, like many rich countries, was suffering from an “epidemic” of heart disease and no one knew why. Various hypotheses, such as stress, were suggested; but one thing that was not exercising researchers was exercise. The idea that health and exercise were linked “wasn’t the accepted fact that we know today”, says Nick Wareham, a professor of epidemiology at Cambridge University. Some even felt that “too much physical activity was a bad thing for your health”. Miners and farmers who did physical exercise also suffered from various diseases and died young.
At this time a young doctor called Jerry Morris started to suspect that the increasing deaths from heart disease might be linked to occupation. He began studying the medical records of 31,000 London transport workers. His findings were breathtaking: conductors, who spent their time running up and down stairs, had an approximately 30% lower possibility of disease than drivers, who sat down all day. Exercise was keeping people alive.
Morris’s research was eventually published in 1953, just three years after a study by Richard Doll proving the link between smoking and lung cancer. Morris’s work had consequences both big and small. Morris now also took up exercise, handing his jacket to his daughter and just running. “People thought I was bananas.” Slowly, the rest of the world took off its jacket and followed.
8. Why does the author mention the new study in the first paragraph?
A. To clarify a concept. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To present the argument. D. To provide an example.
9. What does the underlined part “exercising researchers” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Encouraging researchers to work out. B. Helping with researchers’ inquiry.
C. Hold back researchers’ progress. D. Drawing researchers’ attention.
10. How did Morris conduct his study on the transport employees?
A. By carrying out survey. B. By observing their routines.
C. By doing medical examinations. D. By analyzing the medical data.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Smiling and Its Effects on London Bus Drivers.
B. The Evolution of London’s Transportation System.
C How London Bus Drivers Led the world to exercise.
D. What Londoners Think about Studies on Bus Drivers.
D
The other day, a blind woman in my investigation decided on her own initiative to draw a wheel as it was spinning. To show this motion, she traced a curve inside the circle, I was taken aback. Lines of motion, such as the one she used, are a very recent invention in the history of illustration.
When I asked other blind subjects to draw a spinning wheel, a clever interpretation appeared repeatedly: they showed the wheel’s spokes (辐条) as curved lines. When asked, they described them as metaphorical ways of suggesting motion. Majority rule would argue that this device somehow indicated motion very well. But was it a better indicator than, say, bent lines or any other kind of line, for that matter? The answer was not clear. So I decided to test whether various lines of motion were preferred ways of showing movement or if they were merely marks of personal styles. Moreover, I wanted to discover whether there were differences in how the blind and the sighted interpreted lines of motion.
To find these answers, I created raised line drawings of different wheels, showing spokes with lines that curved, bent, waved and extended beyond the perimeter (边缘) of the wheel. I then asked eighteen blind volunteers to feel the wheels and assign one of the following motions to each wheel: shaky, spinning, jerking or braking. My control group consisted of eighteen sighted undergraduates.
All but one of the blind subjects assigned distinctive motions to each wheel. Most guessed that the curved spokes indicated that the wheel was spinning, the wavy spokes, they thought, suggested that the wheel was shaky; and the bent spokes were taken as a sign that the wheel was jerking. Subjects assumed that the spokes extending beyond the wheel’s perimeter signified that the wheel had its brakes on.
Additionally, the favoured description for the sighted was the favoured description for the blind in every instance. What’s more, the consensus among the sighted was barely higher than that among the blind. Because motion devices are unfamiliar to the blind, the task I gave them involved some problem solving. Evidently, however, the blind not only figured out meanings for each line of motion, but as a group they generally came up with the same meaning as frequently as did sighted subjects.
12. The author was surprised because the blind woman .
A. drew a circle on her own initiative B. was the first person to use lines of motion
C. included a symbol representing movement D. did not understand what a wheel looked like
13. What did the author want to find out about the blind subjects through the experiment?
A. What their personal styles were in drawing marks.
B. Whether they would agree with the majority rule.
C. How they came up with the curved lines to suggest motion.
D. Whether there is a pattern in their interpretation of visual metaphors.
14. The following diagram suggests that the wheel is .
A. spinning B. braking C. shaky D. jerking
15. From the experiment described, the author found that the blind subjects .
A. got better results than the sighted undergraduates
B. worked together well as a group in solving problems
C. could control the movement of wheels very accurately
D. had good understanding of symbols representing movement

Mind mapping is a great way to plan out projects, ideas, and plans. ___16___ Here are the four steps of mind mapping and how you can apply it in your life.
Before you start think about what it is that you want to mind map about. If we take the example of presenting to an audience, ask yourself, "What exactly do I want to tell my audience?" and "What do I want them to leave knowing?" ___17___ Once you know your question, write that down in the middle of the page.
___18___ Don't try and edit yourself. No matter how crazy, wild, or stupid something may seem at first, get it down onto your mind map. You can remove ideas later. Editing yourself at an early stage will not produce your best ideas.
After your initial brainstorm, giving yourself a few days will produce more ideas and expand others. A few days later, come back to your mind map and give yourself another hour or two with it. ___19___ Meanwhile, you may also see ideas that don't work—you can leave them just in case they bring more ideas later. After this session, you will have a lot of ideas, answers, and steps.
The next stage is where you make small changes about these ideas and start to structure the next steps. You now need to decide in what order you will move forward. Once you have all your ideas and points numbered, you can then move those to your to-do list manager and place them in the right order. You may find that as you begin working on your project, you change your order round. ___20___.
A. You will find you have a lot more ideas to add.
B. It encourages you to go deeper with your ideas.
C. The clearer your question, the better answers you will get.
D. Once you have your question written down,let yourself go.
E. Your brain is likely to give you unrealistic or unclear answers.
F. But you will at least have a place to start by having an initial order.
G. It gives you a visual means to brainstorm your ideas and the foundations of a structure.

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。
I was in Philadelphia for a conference when I saw an ad in the hotel. A nearby theater was showing a documentary (纪录片) about several local animal shelters that were helping to save abandoned dogs across the country. I love animals, and I felt an urge to go to this fundraising event. However, none of my co-workers would go with me, and I was worried about walking on the street alone at night.
I resigned myself to spending the evening in my hotel room, but as soon as I got back to my room I felt restless and bored. The theater where the event was taking place was only about five blocks from the hotel, and the area around the hotel didn’t seem particularly dangerous. So, I decided to brave it. I gathered up my wallet and room key and set off.
It was already getting dark and the streets were nearly deserted. I managed to find the street the theater was on, but when I turned the corner, I stopped in shock. In front of the theater were a group of bikers — very big, tough-looking bikers.
I’ve known lots of motorcycle enthusiasts and most are nice people. However, in this case, I was a woman all alone, in a strange neighborhood at night, and there were twenty or so very large men — all wearing insignia (徽章) that indicated they were in some sort of club-standing before me. Warning bells began to sound in my head, and my heart was pounding. Was I at the right theater? Had I misread the date of the event?
A sign outside the theater told me that I was in the right place on the right evening. Nevertheless, I wondered if I should rush back to my hotel instead of walking through that crowd of bikers. I finally decided that I would be safer inside the theater. Hopefully, the bikers would have gone away by the time the film was over.
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。
Paragraph 1: I hurried into the theater, only to find there were even more bikers inside.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: When the film began, I realized that the bikers were an animal rescue group.

A new study has found that smiling at London bus drivers increases happiness. However, on the Number 24 bus to Hampstead Heath, Londoners are sceptical. “Bus drivers,” says Liz Hands, a passenger, “are generally annoying.”
It might seem improbable that a report on London’s buses could change behaviour. But it has happened before. London’s buses have an underappreciated role in the history of medical science. In the 1940s, a single study of London’s transport workers transformed epidemiology (流行病学), medicine and the way we live now. Every time you go on a run, check your step-count, or take the stairs instead of the lift, you are following a path pioneered by the feet of the workers on London’s buses.
In the late 1940s doctors were worried. Britain, like many rich countries, was suffering from an “epidemic” of heart disease and no one knew why. Various hypotheses, such as stress, were suggested; but one thing that was not exercising researchers was exercise. The idea that health and exercise were linked “wasn’t the accepted fact that we know today”, says Nick Wareham, a professor of epidemiology at Cambridge University. Some even felt that “too much physical activity was a bad thing for your health”. Miners and farmers who did physical exercise also suffered from various diseases and died young.
At this time a young doctor called Jerry Morris started to suspect that the increasing deaths from heart disease might be linked to occupation. He began studying the medical records of 31,000 London transport workers. His findings were breathtaking: conductors, who spent their time running up and down stairs, had an approximately 30% lower possibility of disease than drivers, who sat down all day. Exercise was keeping people alive.
Morris’s research was eventually published in 1953, just three years after a study by Richard Doll proving the link between smoking and lung cancer. Morris’s work had consequences both big and small. Morris now also took up exercise, handing his jacket to his daughter and just running. “People thought I was bananas.” Slowly, the rest of the world took off its jacket and followed.
8. Why does the author mention the new study in the first paragraph?
A. To clarify a concept. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To present the argument. D. To provide an example.
9. What does the underlined part “exercising researchers” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Encouraging researchers to work out. B. Helping with researchers’ inquiry.
C. Hold back researchers’ progress. D. Drawing researchers’ attention.
10. How did Morris conduct his study on the transport employees?
A. By carrying out survey. B. By observing their routines.
C. By doing medical examinations. D. By analyzing the medical data.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Smiling and Its Effects on London Bus Drivers.
B. The Evolution of London’s Transportation System.
C. How London Bus Drivers Led the world to exercise.
D. What Londoners Think about Studies on Bus Drivers.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了伦敦公共汽车上的工人曾经改变了人们如今的生活方式,曾经人们认为锻炼有害身体,结果对工人的研究发现锻炼使人保持活力。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“A new study has found that smiling at London bus drivers increases happiness. However, on the Number 24 bus to Hampstead Heath, Londoners are sceptical. “Bus drivers,” says Liz Hands, a passenger, “are generally annoying.”(一项新的研究发现,对伦敦公交司机微笑会增加幸福感。然而,在前往汉普斯特德希思的24路公共汽车上,伦敦人持怀疑态度。“公交车司机,”乘客Liz Hands说,“通常都很烦人。”)”以及第二段“In the 1940s, a single study of London’s transport workers transformed epidemiology (流行病学), medicine and the way we live now. Every time you go on a run, check your step-count, or take the stairs instead of the lift, you are following a path pioneered by the feet of the workers on London’s buses.(20世纪40年代,一项针对伦敦运输工人的研究改变了流行病学、医学和我们现在的生活方式。每当你跑步、检查步数、或走楼梯而不是乘电梯时,你都是在追随伦敦公共汽车上工人们的脚步)”可推知,作者在第一段提到了这项新研究是为了引入文章话题。故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词“was exercise”以及后文“The idea that health and exercise were linked “wasn’t the accepted fact that we know today”, says Nick Wareham, a professor of epidemiology at Cambridge University. Some even felt that “too much physical activity was a bad thing for your health”. Miners and farmers who did physical exercise also suffered from various diseases and died young.(剑桥大学流行病学教授Nick Wareham表示,健康和运动有关的观点“在当时并不是我们今天所知道的公认事实”。一些人甚至认为“过多的体育活动对你的健康有害”。从事体育锻炼的矿工和农民也会患上各种疾病,英年早逝)”可知,当时认为锻炼会对健康有害,即锻炼没有引起研究人员的注意。故划线词意思是“引起研究人员的注意”。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“At this time a young doctor called Jerry Morris started to suspect that the increasing deaths from heart disease might be linked to occupation. He began studying the medical records of 31,000 London transport workers.(这时,一位名叫杰瑞·莫里斯的年轻医生开始怀疑,心脏病死亡人数的增加可能与职业有关。他开始研究31000名伦敦交通工人的医疗记录)”可知,莫里斯通过分析运输员工的医疗数据进行研究。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“It might seem improbable that a report on London’s buses could change behaviour. But it has happened before. London’s buses have an underappreciated role in the history of medical science. In the 1940s, a single study of London’s transport workers transformed epidemiology (流行病学), medicine and the way we live now. Every time you go on a run, check your step-count, or take the stairs instead of the lift, you are following a path pioneered by the feet of the workers on London’s buses.(一份关于伦敦公交车的报告似乎不太可能改变人们的行为。但这种情况以前也发生过。伦敦的公共汽车在医学科学史上的作用被低估了。20世纪40年代,一项针对伦敦交通工人的研究改变了流行病学、医学和我们现在的生活方式。每当你跑步、检查步数、或走楼梯而不是乘电梯时,你都是在追随伦敦公共汽车上工人们的脚步)”结合文章主要说明了伦敦公共汽车上的工人曾经改变了人们如今的生活方式,曾经人们认为锻炼有害身体,结果对工人的研究发现锻炼使人保持活力。可知,C选项“伦敦巴士司机如何引领世界运动”最符合文章标题。故选C。
D
The other day, a blind woman in my investigation decided on her own initiative to draw a wheel as it was spinning. To show this motion, she traced a curve inside the circle, I was taken aback. Lines of motion, such as the one she used, are a very recent invention in the history of illustration.
When I asked other blind subjects to draw a spinning wheel, a clever interpretation appeared repeatedly: they showed the wheel’s spokes (辐条) as curved lines. When asked, they described them as metaphorical ways of suggesting motion. Majority rule would argue that this device somehow indicated motion very well. But was it a better indicator than, say, bent lines or any other kind of line, for that matter? The answer was not clear. So I decided to test whether various lines of motion were preferred ways of showing movement or if they were merely marks of personal styles. Moreover, I wanted to discover whether there were differences in how the blind and the sighted interpreted lines of motion.
To find these answers, I created raised line drawings of different wheels, showing spokes with lines that curved, bent, waved and extended beyond the perimeter (边缘) of the wheel. I then asked eighteen blind volunteers to feel the wheels and assign one of the following motions to each wheel: shaky, spinning, jerking or braking. My control group consisted of eighteen sighted undergraduates.
All but one of the blind subjects assigned distinctive motions to each wheel. Most guessed that the curved spokes indicated that the wheel was spinning, the wavy spokes, they thought, suggested that the wheel was shaky; and the bent spokes were taken as a sign that the wheel was jerking. Subjects assumed that the spokes extending beyond the wheel’s perimeter signified that the wheel had its brakes on.
Additionally, the favoured description for the sighted was the favoured description for the blind in every instance. What’s more, the consensus among the sighted was barely higher than that among the blind. Because motion devices are unfamiliar to the blind, the task I gave them involved some problem solving. Evidently, however, the blind not only figured out meanings for each line of motion, but as a group they generally came up with the same meaning as frequently as did sighted subjects.
12. The author was surprised because the blind woman .
A. drew a circle on her own initiative B. was the first person to use lines of motion
C. included a symbol representing movement D. did not understand what a wheel looked like
13. What did the author want to find out about the blind subjects through the experiment?
A. What their personal styles were in drawing marks.
B. Whether they would agree with the majority rule.
C. How they came up with the curved lines to suggest motion.
D. Whether there is a pattern in their interpretation of visual metaphors.
14. The following diagram suggests that the wheel is .
A. spinning B. braking C. shaky D. jerking
15. From the experiment described, the author found that the blind subjects .
A. got better results than the sighted undergraduates
B. worked together well as a group in solving problems
C. could control the movement of wheels very accurately
D. had good understanding of symbols representing movement
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章大意是作者通过实验研究了盲人和视力正常人对运动线条的感知和解释方式,以探索不同线条是否能够更好地表示运动。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“To show this motion, she traced a curve inside the circle, I was taken aback.(为了展示这个动作,她在圆圈内画了一条曲线,我大吃一惊。)”可知,作者吃惊的原因是盲人妇女画了一个表示运动的符号,故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“So I decided to test whether various lines of motion were preferred ways of showing movement or if they were merely marks of personal styles. Moreover, I wanted to discover whether there were differences in how the blind and the sighted interpreted lines of motion.(因此,我决定测试各种运动线条是否是表示运动的首选方式,或者它们是否仅仅是个人风格的标记。此外,我想发现盲人和视力正常人对运动线条的解释是否存在差异)”可知,作者通过实验想了解盲人受试者在他们对视觉隐喻的理解中是否存在某种模式,故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“Subjects assumed that the spokes extending beyond the wheel’s perimeter signified that the wheel had its brakes on.(受试者认为延伸到轮子周长之外的辐条意味着车轮已经刹住了)”并结合分析图片,可知图片中辐条延伸到轮子周长之外,可推理出车轮已经刹住了,故选B项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Evidently, however, the blind not only figured out meanings for each line of motion, but as a group they generally came up with the same meaning as frequently as did sighted subjects.(然而,显而易见,盲人不仅为每种运动线条找到了意义,而且作为一个群体,他们通常像视力正常受试者一样频繁地得出相同的意义)”可知,作者发现盲人被试者对表示运动的符号有很好的理解,故选D项。

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Mind mapping is a great way to plan out projects, ideas, and plans. ___16___ Here are the four steps of mind mapping and how you can apply it in your life.
Before you start, think about what it is that you want to mind map about. If we take the example of presenting to an audience, ask yourself, "What exactly do I want to tell my audience?" and "What do I want them to leave knowing?" ___17___ Once you know your question, write that down in the middle of the page.
___18___ Don't try and edit yourself. No matter how crazy, wild, or stupid something may seem at first, get it down onto your mind map. You can remove ideas later. Editing yourself at an early stage will not produce your best ideas.
After your initial brainstorm, giving yourself a few days will produce more ideas and expand others. A few days later, come back to your mind map and give yourself another hour or two with it. ___19___ Meanwhile, you may also see ideas that don't work—you can leave them just in case they bring more ideas later. After this session, you will have a lot of ideas, answers, and steps.
The next stage is where you make small changes about these ideas and start to structure the next steps. You now need to decide in what order you will move forward. Once you have all your ideas and points numbered, you can then move those to your to-do list manager and place them in the right order. You may find that as you begin working on your project, you change your order round. ___20___.
A. You will find you have a lot more ideas to add.
B. It encourages you to go deeper with your ideas.
C. The clearer your question, the better answers you will get.
D. Once you have your question written down,let yourself go.
E. Your brain is likely to give you unrealistic or unclear answers.
F. But you will at least have a place to start by having an initial order.
G. It gives you a visual means to brainstorm your ideas and the foundations of a structure.
【答案】16. G 17. C 18. D 19. A 20. F
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文中阐述了思维导图的制作过程以及如何在现实生活中利用思维导图。
【16题详解】
根据上一句“Mind mapping is a great way to plan out projects, ideas, and plans”可知,作者在文中开头就阐述了思维导图是规划项目、想法和计划的好方法,进一步很可能涉及到思维导图的特点,因此G选项“It gives you a visual means to brainstorm your ideas and the foundations of a structure(它为你提供了一种直观的方式来集思广益你的想法和基础构思)”切题,选项中的“ideas”与上文中的“ideas”相呼应,故选G项。
【17题详解】
根据本段下一句“Once you know your question, write that down in the middle of the page.”可知,在制作思维导图之前,要尽可能地去明确有哪些相关问题,一旦知道了就记下来,因此,C选项“The clearer your question, the better answers you will get(你的问题越清楚,你得到的答案就越好)”切题,选项中的“question”与下一句中的“question”相呼应,故选C项。
【18题详解】
根据下一句“Don't try and edit yourself. No matter how crazy, wild, or stupid something may seem at first, get it down onto your mind map.”可知,当明确相关问题并把记在你的思维导图上以后,不要去更改,不管问题看起来有多么疯狂和愚蠢,因此D项“Once you have your question written down,let yourself go(一旦你把你的问题写下来,就让你自己从问题上走开)”切题,选项中的“let yourself go”与下一句中的“Don't try and edit yourself”相呼应,故选D项。
【19题详解】
根据上一句“After your initial brainstorm, giving yourself a few days will produce more ideas and expand others. A few days later, come back to your mind map and give yourself another hour or two with it.”可知,在最初的头脑风暴完成之后,给自己几天来产生更多的想法,然后再回到思维导图上思考一两个小时,很可能会有新的想法出现,因此,A.选项“You will find you have a lot more ideas to add.(你会发现你还有很多想法要补充。)”切题,选项中的“a lot more ideas”与上一句中的“more ideas”相呼应。故选A项。
【20题详解】
根据上一句“Once you have all your ideas and points numbered, you can then move those to your to-do list manager and place them in the right order. You may find that as you begin working on your project, you change your order round.”可知,一旦你把所有的想法和要点都做好了,你就可以把它们移到你的待办事项列表管理器中,并按正确的顺序排列。当你开始做你的项目时,你可能会发现,你想改变顺序链,因此F选项“But you will at least have a place to start by having an initial order.(但你至少有一处可以从最初的顺序开始)”切题,选项中的“order”与上一句中的“order”相呼应,故选F项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍的是梵净山国家级自然保护区的相关情况。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意:该自然保护区总面积为43411公顷,森林覆盖率为96.5%,是许多珍稀濒危物种的家园,如灰金丝猴、中国鸽树、梵净山冷杉和古老的森林生态系统。forest coverage是固定用法,意为“森林覆盖”,因此空格处是coverage。故填coverage。
【37题详解】
考查连词。句意:该自然保护区总面积为43411公顷,森林覆盖率为96.5%,是许多珍稀濒危物种的家园,如灰金丝猴、中国鸽树、梵净山冷杉和古老的森林生态系统。the Fanjingshan Fir tree和an old-growth forest eco-system是并列关系,句子是肯定句,因此空格处用and表并列,故填and。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在自然保护区内,你可以看到层层叠叠的山脉和山谷,清澈的溪流流入深蓝色的湖泊,以及强大的冰冻瀑布,在冬天形成闪闪发光的冰瀑,使景观更加壮观。can find是谓语,空格处用非谓语动词,streams和flow之间是主谓关系,因此空格处用现在分词表主动。作后置定语,故填flowing。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:在自然保护区内,你可以看到层层叠叠的山脉和山谷,清澈的溪流流入深蓝色的湖泊,以及强大的冰冻瀑布,在冬天形成闪闪发光的冰瀑,使景观更加壮观。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词waterfalls是物,因此空格处用关系代词which/that,故填which/that。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:在自然保护区内,你可以看到层层叠叠的山脉和山谷,清澈的溪流流入深蓝色的湖泊,以及强大的冰冻瀑布,在冬天形成闪闪发光的冰瀑,使景观更加壮观。landscape是可数名词的单数形式,表泛指,前面要加不定冠词,even是元音音素开头,因此不定冠词用an,故填an。
【41题详解】
考查不定式和被动语态。句意:2013年1月,铜仁市正式申请列入世界遗产名录。apply to do sth.意为“申请做某事”,Tongren City和consider之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此空格处用不定式的被动语态,即to be done,故填to be considered。
【42题详解】
考查时态,语态和主谓一致。句意:同年10月,梵净山被列入中国国家自然遗产暂定名录。由In October of the same year可知,句子描述过去的事情,时态用一般过去时,Fanjing和add之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此空格处是一般过去时的被动语态,主语Fanjing是单数,因此空格处是was added。故填was added。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:今年2月,中国与联合国教科文组织共同正式支持了贵州梵净山的世界遗产申请:这些申请旨在保护梵净山的原始森林生态系统和珍稀动植物,同时开发利用其生态产品,促进当地社会经济可持续发展,最终实现保护与发展的生产性平衡。the application for是固定短语,意为“……的申请”,因此空格处是介词for,故填for。
【44题详解】
考查物主代词。句意:今年2月,中国与联合国教科文组织共同正式支持了贵州梵净山的世界遗产申请:这些申请旨在保护梵净山的原始森林生态系统和珍稀动植物,同时开发利用其生态产品,促进当地社会经济可持续发展,最终实现保护与发展的生产性平衡。it和ecological products之间是所属关系,因此空格处用形容词性物主代词its,故填its。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:今年2月,中国与联合国教科文组织共同正式支持了贵州梵净山的世界遗产申请:这些申请旨在保护梵净山的原始森林生态系统和珍稀动植物,同时开发利用其生态产品,促进当地社会经济可持续发展,最终实现保护与发展的生产性平衡。空格处用副词修饰动词achieving,ultimate的副词是ultimately,意为“最终”。故填ultimately。

Dear teachers and students from New Zealand, welcome to our Poetic China sharing session. Today I feel greatly honored to introduce a timeless Chinese poem Quiet Night Thoughts, written by Li Bai, a renowned poet of the Tang Dynasty. It vividly depicts a wanderer’s deep homesickness on a peaceful moonlit night.
Though consisting of merely 20 Chinese characters, the poem is brimming with genuine emotions. It adopts plain words and natural scenery to convey the poet’s intense longing for hometown, making its meaning accessible to every reader without difficulty.

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。
I was in Philadelphia for a conference when I saw an ad in the hotel. A nearby theater was showing a documentary (纪录片) about several local animal shelters that were helping to save abandoned dogs across the country. I love animals, and I felt an urge to go to this fundraising event. However, none of my co-workers would go with me, and I was worried about walking on the street alone at night.
I resigned myself to spending the evening in my hotel room, but as soon as I got back to my room I felt restless and bored. The theater where the event was taking place was only about five blocks from the hotel, and the area around the hotel didn’t seem particularly dangerous. So, I decided to brave it. I gathered up my wallet and room key and set off.
It was already getting dark and the streets were nearly deserted. I managed to find the street the theater was on, but when I turned the corner, I stopped in shock. In front of the theater were a group of bikers — very big, tough-looking bikers.
I’ve known lots of motorcycle enthusiasts and most are nice people. However, in this case, I was a woman all alone, in a strange neighborhood at night, and there were twenty or so very large men — all wearing insignia (徽章) that indicated they were in some sort of club-standing before me. Warning bells began to sound in my head, and my heart was pounding. Was I at the right theater? Had I misread the date of the event?
A sign outside the theater told me that I was in the right place on the right evening. Nevertheless, I wondered if I should rush back to my hotel instead of walking through that crowd of bikers. I finally decided that I would be safer inside the theater. Hopefully, the bikers would have gone away by the time the film was over.
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。
Paragraph 1: I hurried into the theater, only to find there were even more bikers inside.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: When the film began, I realized that the bikers were an animal rescue group.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible version 1:
I hurried into the theater, only to find there were even more bikers inside. My heart sank and I felt like I had walked into a lion’s den. They were chatting loudly and seemed to fill every corner of the place. I quickly found an empty seat in a corner, trying to make myself as inconspicuous as possible. I kept stealing glances at them, still feeling extremely nervous.
When the film began, I realized that the bikers were an animal rescue group. They were here for the same reason as I was — to support the animal shelters. They had organized this event to raise funds and awareness for the abandoned dogs. As I watched them watching the film with such passion and care in their eyes, I felt ashamed of my initial judgment. I was touched by their love for animals and glad that I hadn’t let my fear stop me from coming.
Possible version 2:
I hurried into the theater only to find there were even more bikers inside. I froze for a moment, my palms sweating and my mind racing with all kinds of worst-case scenarios. But since I was already inside, I took a deep breath and walked slowly towards an empty row, constantly aware of their presence around me.
When the film began, I realized that the bikers were an animal rescue group. It turned out that they were using their club’s influence to advocate for these poor animals. They were the ones who had put a lot of effort into organizing this fundraising event. Watching them so engrossed in the documentary, I couldn’t help but smile. I was relieved that my unfounded fears had been just that — unfounded. And I was truly inspired by their dedication to the cause of helping animals.
【解析】
【导语】本文以观看一场纪录片为线索展开,讲述了“我”在费城偶遇流浪狗筹款影展,虽担心夜路安全仍独自前往。到达时“我”被剧院外一群粗犷的摩托车手吓到,硬着头皮进场后发现他们竟全是动物救援组织成员。“我”既感动又羞愧——差点因偏见错过这场温暖的相遇。(详解基于第一篇范文)
