For the Vandenburg family that includes Mom Kaelyn, Dad Ren, children Violet, 11, Toby, 10, and Xavier, 9, it’s teamwork that makes their small craft (手工艺) business, Kaelyn’s Krafts, work, with the children artistically involved as much or as little as they’d like.
While the family is new to the Prince George craft fair scene, having just started attending this year, Kaelyn’s crafting journey began years earlier at university in San Diego. There, she made her own clothes on a roommate’s sewing machine, and later progressed to sewing costumes for her young children.
Kaelyn’s Krafts’s slogan (标语) is “You dream it, I make it”, and she specializes in creating a range of matching pieces. She has a sharp eye for detail, which makes each of her projects one-of-a-kind. When people see her products at craft fairs, the biggest misconception is that they’re mass-produced elsewhere and resold. But that couldn’t be further from the truth: every item is uniquely handmade by the family at home — including the impressive 3D-printed creations Ren designs.
At the markets, Toby and Xavier spend their time sewing the wallets displayed on their craft table. Violet lends a hand by painting eyes on the 3D-printed creatures — one of the family’s most popular creations.
In the Vandenburg household it’s important for the children to learn the ways of the world, including tasks to be completed at home and for the creations that are sold to earn money.
“We teach the kids a skill, regardless of gender, because they are going to need those skills as adults,” Kaelyn said. “So we teach all three kids how to cook, all three kids learn how to do home repairs and all three kids learn to sew. It takes a lot of work to teach them, but it’s worth the effort knowing that they will be equipped for their adult lives.”
4. What can we say about Kaelyn’s Krafts?
A. It is a skill-based family business. B. It is a strictly scheduled business.
C. It is a highly profitable business. D. It’s a multi-generational business.
5. What does Kaelyn’s slogan imply?
A. She values selling products. B. She focuses on mass production.
C. She prioritizes dreams of young kids. D. She emphasizes personalized service.
6. How do Kaelyn’s kids contribute to the business?
A. By handling customer inquiries. B. By planning craft fairs and events.
C. By helping make and decorate items. D. By designing the 3D models for printing.
7. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Discover Fun at Local Craft Fairs B. Meet the Family that Crafts Together
C. 3D Printing: A New Creative Trend D. The Vandenburgs: Great Love for Children
C
Witgar Wiegele, an organic farmer and baker from a small town in Austria, keeps a cow named Veronika and noticed that it occasionally played with sticks and used them to scratch (搔痒) its body. Besides, the cow recognised family members’ voices and hurried to meet them when they called.
Word soon got around and before long a video of the cow’s behaviour reached biologists in Vienna who specialise in animal intelligence. They immediately grasped the importance of the video. “It was a cow using an actual tool,” said Dr Antonio Osuna Mascaró at the city’s University of Veterinary Medicine. “We got everything ready and jumped in the car to visit.”
Armed with a brush, Osuna Mascaró and his teammate Alice Auersperg set about testing Veronika’s skills. Through a series of field trials, the cow proved it could not only pick up the brush, but use it according to the job at hand. If the brush was at an awkward angle, Veronika used its tongue to reposition it before holding it tightly with its teeth. And it even used both ends of the brush for multiple purposes.
Livestock (牲畜) have never been considered the sharpest of animals. Gary Larson’s 1982 Far Side cartoon, Cow Tools, shows a cow standing behind a table of oddly shaped objects. It confused scores of readers, including Larson’s mother, causing him to explain: “While I have never met a cow who could make tools, I felt sure that if I did, the tools would lack something in complexity.”
It is unclear how Veronika acquired its skills. The researchers believe cattle may simply be smarter than people have previously realised. Since the study, Osuna Mascaró said other clever cows have come to light. “We don’t believe that Veronika is the Einstein of cows,” he said. “What this tells us is that cows have the potential to innovate tool use, and we have ignored this fact for thousands of years.”
8. What did the biologists probably think of the video?
A. It was AI-generated. B. It was rather surprising.
C. It was very convincing. D. It was well-preserved.
9. What does paragraph 3 show about Veronika?
A. It was good at using tools. B. It was very friendly to visitors.
C. It often played with a brush for fun. D. It proved to be Wiegele’s good helper.
10. Why did Larson draw the Far Side cartoon?
A. To express his opinions of tools. B. To send it to his mother as a gift.
C. To show his experiences with cows. D. To highlight cows’ low intelligence.
11. What might Osuna Mascaró agree with?
A. Veronika is the smartest cow. B. Tool use is common among cows.
C. More studies on cows are necessary. D. Cows have been undervalued for ages.
D
As Frank ages, he struggles to get to the store alone because his diabetes (糖尿病) causes pain that makes it impossible to drive. One day, due to his worsening health, Frank bends over in the shower from a heart attack. Yet Frank is unharmed — he’s just a character in the Frank Lab, a virtual reality experience created by Embodied Labs, a company that tries to help healthcare providers empathize with (与……共情) patients.
Empathy is essential in healthcare, allowing clinicians to communicate successfully with patients and understand their needs. Research has linked clinician empathy with higher patient satisfaction, better health outcomes, and fewer medical errors. Lamentably, studies show that empathy tends to decrease during medical school, as fact-based learning and testing drive students’ attention away from patients’ subjective experiences.
In 2024, Riham Alieldin, a physician and medical educator at the University of Rochester, led a study using the Frank Lab to expose 19 first-year medical students to the challenges older adults face with social disconnection and declining health. “What happened was, the students would come in, put on the headset, and become the patient,” says Alieldin. Instead of just hearing about Frank’s troubles, they could actually sit in his messy living room and open his unstocked fridge.
Alieldin’s team used the Jefferson Scale of Empathy, a questionnaire designed specifically for healthcare professionals, to measure the students’ empathy both before and after the intervention, finding that, on average, their empathy increased significantly following their time in the Frank Lab. Interviews with participants also revealed that they felt newly aware of empathy’s importance in medical care, along with the everyday challenges faced by older adults.
When interviewed six months later, most participants reported that they still worked to apply what they’d learned in real patient encounters. Some, for example, used the experience as a reminder to ask in-depth questions about patients’ lives or to take note of small signals in patients’ behavior. This suggests that the Frank Lab had more than just a momentary impact.
12. What does the underlined word “Lamentably” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Similarly. B. Regrettably. C. Hopefully. D. Consequently.
13. What was the purpose of Alieldin’s 2024 study?
A. To let students relate to patients. B. To raise awareness of the elders’ risks.
C. To test students’ clinical practical skills. D. To collect clinical data for the Frank Lab.
14. What can be inferred about empathy from paragraph 4?
A. It is rather difficult to measure. B. It is key to the quality of healthcare.
C. It can be developed through training. D. It has been integrated into medical care.
15. What is stressed about the Frank Lab in the last paragraph?
A. Its great influence on clinical labs. B. Its potential application in clinics.
C. Its sustained effect on participants. D. Its role in teaching technical skills.

How to choose the right workout partner
The right workout partner can make all the difference in staying motivated and achieving real results. If you’re wondering who to invite to your next session, consider these essential tips for choosing someone who will truly help you level up.
First and foremost, choose someone with similar goals. For example, you may want to run a marathon, while your partner may only want to tone up. ____16____ This is far from ideal. When you share the same goals, you not only train side by side but also motivate each other more effectively, since you are working toward the same outcome.
It is also vital to find someone with a similar ability level. According to social comparison theory, people tend to mirror the behaviors of those around them. ____17____ If the gap between you is too large, one of you may feel discouraged, which can quickly hurt motivation. By choosing someone with a similar fitness level, you can challenge each other in a healthy way and make steady progress in strength, speed, and overall performance.
____18____ You and your workout partner should agree on training frequency and intensity. When your expectations are the same, you can support each other consistently — pushing through tough sessions, staying accountable, and offering encouragement when it’s needed most.
Finally, make sure you both share a long-term vision. ____19____ Since fitness involves both immediate targets and distant goals, you need a companion who is in it for the entire journey.
Choosing wisely not only boosts your motivation and progress but also makes every training session more effective and enjoyable. ____20____
A. Simply put, your partner choice is vital.
B. In that case, you may end up training separately.
C. It is equally important to schedule your training time.
D. In a fitness setting, this relates to the abilities of your partner.
E. Furthermore, ensure you share the same level of commitment.
F. It’s essential to find a partner with a level of ambition that matches yours.
G. In addition, look for a partner who approaches life with a positive attitude.

Last summer, I sent my friend Fred a letter. He wrote back with a long page that began with, “What I really ____21____ is your handwritten note.”
____22____, I hadn’t given my love for letter writing much thought, but as I read his letter, I realized that letter writing is something ____23____. The act of letter writing is more laborious and intentional than any other form of ____24____ today. In a letter, there is more ____25____ involved and less hurry. Unlike shooting a text or typing an e-mail, letter writing ____26____ me to reach for my favorite pen, ____27____ nice paper, write with care, fill an envelope, dig through my desk drawer for a stamp, and take a trip to the ____28____.
For as long as I can ____29____ — since I was eight years old — I’ve been writing letters. My first pen pal (笔友) was Abuela, my great-grandmother in Puerto Rico. Since Abuela didn’t ____30____ any English, I made my letter-writing attempts with an English-to-Spanish dictionary. Then I’d ____31____ await her reply.
As I grew older, I began sending letters to my friends. I still have a box containing scores of letters we ____32____.
Today, I write letters whenever ____33____ strikes. Each letter is a small piece of my heart. It tells the person on the other end: You matter. This moment we share is ____34____. In a world that prizes speed and efficiency, letter writing reminds me that what matters most ____35____ time, intention, and the quiet dignity of being made by hand.
21. A. confirm B. ignore C. reject D. appreciate

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
My earliest memories of winter mornings in Harbin involve waking up on a kang (炕) — a ____36____ (heat) platform bed made of earth bricks that has been used in northern China for at least 2,000 years. The kang ____37____ (connect) to the family stove (炉子). When the stove is lit for cooking, hot air travels through passages ____38____ (run) beneath the kang, warming its entire mass.
To a child, the magic of the kang was in its warm surface ____39____ stayed hot all night long. But as an adult — and now an academic expert — I can appreciate what a ____40____ (remarkable) efficient piece of engineering it is.
____41____ central heating, which works by warming the air in every room, the kang heats only its own surface. The room ____42____ (it) may be cold, but people warm themselves by lying or sitting on the platform. Once warmed, it slowly releases heat for many hours.
Taking care of the kang was a family affair. My father — a secondary school teacher, not ____43____ engineer — became an expert at constructing the kang. Carefully building coal around the fire ____44____ (keep) it alive was my mom’s job. Looking back, I realize how much skill and labor were involved.
But for all the effort it requires, the kang delivers something modern heating systems still struggle to deliver: long-lasting _____45_____ (warm) with very little fuel.

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。
To me, my older sister Serena was simply the person who always occupied the bathroom when I needed it most. Three years older than me, she seemed to live in a different world — one filled with college plans, long nights of study, and an appearance of calm confidence that made adults trust her without question. At home, however, she was ordinary. She left her half-empty cup on the counter and took away my things without permission. So annoyed was I that I kept my distance.
I only knew that she worked evenings at a youth center downtown. Yet Serena rarely mentioned volunteer hours or shared stories. She would come home late, drop her bag by the stairs, and disappear upstairs before I had time to wonder what her days were really like.
Then one spring evening, a storm swept through our town. Wind beat against the windows. Rain rushed down the streets, turning the gutters (排水沟) into narrow rivers. The power went out before dinner, and the kitchen fell into darkness, lit only by a small battery-powered lamp on the counter. Shadows jumped along the walls as Serena paced back and forth, checking her phone again and again. Messages from the youth center kept coming. The basement was flooding. Families poured into the center, carrying bags and restless children, and there simply weren’t enough volunteers to help them all.
Without hesitation, Serena simply pulled on her jacket and reached for the door, as if this decision had already been made somewhere deep inside her. My own worries — my grades, missed deadlines, ranking lists — suddenly felt thin and unreal, like pieces of paper left out in the rain. Before I could stop myself, I stood up and followed her to the door. Serena hesitated for a moment, then nodded, relief quietly settling over her face. We got into the car, and she drove slowly through the flooded streets until the youth center appeared ahead, a small brick building lit up against the darkness.
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。
Upon reaching the center, Serena showed me what to do.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When we left late that night, something inside me had quietly changed.

C. It was very convincing. D. It was well-preserved.
9. What does paragraph 3 show about Veronika?
A. It was good at using tools. B. It was very friendly to visitors.
C. It often played with a brush for fun. D. It proved to be Wiegele’s good helper.
10. Why did Larson draw the Far Side cartoon?

11. What might Osuna Mascaró agree with?

C. More studies on cows are necessary. D. Cows have been undervalued for ages.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了一头名叫Veronika的奶牛使用工具的行为引起了生物学家的关注,并揭示了奶牛可能比人们之前认为的更聪明。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Word soon got around and before long a video of the cow’s behaviour reached biologists in Vienna who specialise in animal intelligence. They immediately grasped the importance of the video. (消息很快传开了,不久,一段关于这头奶牛行为的视频传到了维也纳专门研究动物智能的生物学家手中。他们立刻意识到了这段视频的重要性。)”可知,生物学家们可能认为这段视频相当令人惊讶。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Through a series of field trials, the cow proved it could not only pick up the brush, but use it according to the job at hand. (通过一系列的实地试验,这头奶牛证明它不仅能拿起刷子,还能根据手头的工作使用刷子。)”可知,第三段表明Veronika很擅长使用工具。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Gary Larson’s 1982 Far Side cartoon, Cow Tools, shows a cow standing behind a table of oddly shaped objects. It confused scores of readers, including Larson’s mother, causing him to explain: “While I have never met a cow who could make tools, I felt sure that if I did, the tools would lack something in complexity.” (Gary Larson 1982年的《Far Side》漫画《Cow Tools》中,一头奶牛站在一张摆满奇形怪状物体的桌子后面。这让包括拉森的母亲在内的许多读者感到困惑,于是他解释说:“虽然我从未见过会制造工具的奶牛,但我确信,如果我见到了,这些工具在复杂性上会有所欠缺。”)”可知,Larson画《Far Side》漫画是为了强调奶牛的低智商。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““We don’t believe that Veronika is the Einstein of cows,” he said. “What this tells us is that cows have the potential to innovate tool use, and we have ignored this fact for thousands of years.” (他说:“我们不相信维罗妮卡是奶牛中的爱因斯坦。”。“这告诉我们,奶牛有潜力创新工具的使用,数千年来我们一直忽视这一事实。”)”可知,Osuna Mascaró可能同意奶牛几千年来一直被低估了。
D
As Frank ages, he struggles to get to the store alone because his diabetes (糖尿病) causes pain that makes it impossible to drive. One day, due to his worsening health, Frank bends over in the shower from a heart attack. Yet Frank is unharmed — he’s just a character in the Frank Lab, a virtual reality experience created by Embodied Labs, a company that tries to help healthcare providers empathize with (与……共情) patients.
Empathy is essential in healthcare, allowing clinicians to communicate successfully with patients and understand their needs. Research has linked clinician empathy with higher patient satisfaction, better health outcomes, and fewer medical errors. Lamentably, studies show that empathy tends to decrease during medical school, as fact-based learning and testing drive students’ attention away from patients’ subjective experiences.
In 2024, Riham Alieldin, a physician and medical educator at the University of Rochester, led a study using the Frank Lab to expose 19 first-year medical students to the challenges older adults face with social disconnection and declining health. “What happened was, the students would come in, put on the headset, and become the patient,” says Alieldin. Instead of just hearing about Frank’s troubles, they could actually sit in his messy living room and open his unstocked fridge.
Alieldin’s team used the Jefferson Scale of Empathy, a questionnaire designed specifically for healthcare professionals, to measure the students’ empathy both before and after the intervention, finding that, on average, their empathy increased significantly following their time in the Frank Lab. Interviews with participants also revealed that they felt newly aware of empathy’s importance in medical care, along with the everyday challenges faced by older adults.
When interviewed six months later, most participants reported that they still worked to apply what they’d learned in real patient encounters. Some, for example, used the experience as a reminder to ask in-depth questions about patients’ lives or to take note of small signals in patients’ behavior. This suggests that the Frank Lab had more than just a momentary impact.
12. What does the underlined word “Lamentably” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Similarly. B. Regrettably. C. Hopefully. D. Consequently.
13. What was the purpose of Alieldin’s 2024 study?
A. To let students relate to patients. B. To raise awareness of the elders’ risks.
C. To test students’ clinical practical skills. D. To collect clinical data for the Frank Lab.
14. What can be inferred about empathy from paragraph 4?
A. It is rather difficult to measure. B. It is key to the quality of healthcare.
C. It can be developed through training. D. It has been integrated into medical care.
15. What is stressed about the Frank Lab in the last paragraph?
A. Its great influence on clinical labs. B. Its potential application in clinics.
C. Its sustained effect on participants. D. Its role in teaching technical skills.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍VR项目Frank Lab,针对医学生开展实验,证明沉浸式体验可提升医者共情力,且该正向改变能长期作用于实际诊疗工作。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Research has linked clinician empathy with higher patient satisfaction, better health outcomes, and fewer medical errors.(研究表明,医生的同理心与患者满意度提高、健康状况改善以及医疗失误减少之间存在关联)”以及后文“studies show that empathy tends to decrease during medical school, as fact-based learning and testing drive students’ attention away from patients’ subjective experiences(研究表明,在医学院期间,同理心往往会逐渐减弱,因为基于事实的学习和考试会分散学生对患者主观感受的关注)”可知,同理心对患者很重要,但医学院学习期间学生的共情能力会因为学业等下降,这是一件令人遗憾的事。故划线词意思是“遗憾地”。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“In 2024, Riham Alieldin, a physician and medical educator at the University of Rochester, led a study using the Frank Lab to expose 19 first-year medical students to the challenges older adults face with social disconnection and declining health.(2024年,罗切斯特大学的医生兼医学教育家里哈姆·阿里埃尔丁领导了一项研究,利用弗兰克实验室让19名一年级医学生体验到了老年人在社交孤立和健康状况下降方面所面临的挑战)”可知,阿里埃尔丁2024年的研究目的是让学生与患者建立联系。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Alieldin’s team used the Jefferson Scale of Empathy, a questionnaire designed specifically for healthcare professionals, to measure the students’ empathy both before and after the intervention, finding that, on average, their empathy increased significantly following their time in the Frank Lab.(阿里尔丁的团队使用了杰斐逊同理心量表(这是一款专门为医疗专业人员设计的问卷)来对学生们在干预前后的同理心水平进行测量,结果发现,经过在弗兰克实验室的这段时间后,学生们平均而言的同理心水平有了显著提升)”可知,同理心可以通过培训来实现。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“This suggests that the Frank Lab had more than just a momentary impact.(这表明弗兰克实验室的影响并非只是短暂的,而是具有更深远的意义)”可知,最后一段中关于弗兰克实验室所强调的内容是对参与者的持续影响。

How to choose the right workout partner
The right workout partner can make all the difference in staying motivated and achieving real results. If you’re wondering who to invite to your next session, consider these essential tips for choosing someone who will truly help you level up.
First and foremost, choose someone with similar goals. For example, you may want to run a marathon, while your partner may only want to tone up. ____16____ This is far from ideal. When you share the same goals, you not only train side by side but also motivate each other more effectively, since you are working toward the same outcome.
It is also vital to find someone with a similar ability level. According to social comparison theory, people tend to mirror the behaviors of those around them. ____17____ If the gap between you is too large, one of you may feel discouraged, which can quickly hurt motivation. By choosing someone with a similar fitness level, you can challenge each other in a healthy way and make steady progress in strength, speed, and overall performance.
____18____ You and your workout partner should agree on training frequency and intensity. When your expectations are the same, you can support each other consistently — pushing through tough sessions, staying accountable, and offering encouragement when it’s needed most.
Finally, make sure you both share a long-term vision. ____19____ Since fitness involves both immediate targets and distant goals, you need a companion who is in it for the entire journey.
Choosing wisely not only boosts your motivation and progress but also makes every training session more effective and enjoyable. ____20____
A. Simply put, your partner choice is vital.
B. In that case, you may end up training separately.
C. It is equally important to schedule your training time.
D. In a fitness setting, this relates to the abilities of your partner.
E. Furthermore, ensure you share the same level of commitment.
F. It’s essential to find a partner with a level of ambition that matches yours.
G. In addition, look for a partner who approaches life with a positive attitude.
【答案】16. B 17. D 18. E 19. F 20. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了选择合适健身伙伴的几个关键技巧,以帮助保持动力、实现健身目标。
【16题详解】
上文“For example, you may want to run a marathon, while your partner may only want to tone up.(例如,你可能想跑马拉松,而你的伙伴可能只想塑形)”说明健身目标不同的具体情况。空处和前文为顺接关系,说明目标不同带来的不良结果。所以B项“那样的话,你们最终可能会分开训练。”符合语境。B选项中的“In that case”与上文中的目标不同的例子相呼应。
【17题详解】
上文“According to social comparison theory, people tend to mirror the behaviors of those around them.(根据社会比较理论,人们倾向于模仿周围人的行为)”说明社会比较理论的内容。空处和前文为顺接关系,说明该理论在健身场景中的具体体现。所以D项“在健身场景中,这与你伙伴的能力有关。”符合语境。D选项中的this与上文中的社会比较理论相呼应。
【18题详解】
上文介绍了选择健身伙伴要考虑目标和能力水平,下文“You and your workout partner should agree on training frequency and intensity.(你和你的健身伙伴应该在训练频率和强度上达成一致)”说明训练频率和强度的重要性。空处和上下文为顺接关系,起到承上启下的作用,引出对训练相关约定的要求。所以E项“此外,确保你们有相同的投入程度。”符合语境。E选项中的“Furthermore”承接上文,“share the same level of commitment”与下文中的“agree on training frequency and intensity”相呼应。
【19题详解】
上文“Finally, make sure you both share a long-term vision.(最后,确保你们都有相同的长期愿景)”说明长期愿景的重要性。空处和前文为顺接关系,进一步说明长期愿景方面的要求。所以F项“找到一个抱负水平与你相当的伙伴是很重要的。”符合语境。F选项中的“a level of ambition that matches yours”与上文中的“share a long-term vision”相呼应。
【20题详解】
上文“Choosing wisely not only boosts your motivation and progress but also makes every training session more effective and enjoyable.(明智地选择不仅能提高你的动力和进步,还能让每一次训练都更有效、更愉快)”说明明智选择健身伙伴的好处。空处和前文为顺接关系,总结选择健身伙伴的重要性。所以A项“简单来说,你的伙伴选择至关重要。”符合语境。

My earliest memories of winter mornings in Harbin involve waking up on a kang (炕) — a ____36____ (heat) platform bed made of earth bricks that has been used in northern China for at least 2,000 years. The kang ____37____ (connect) to the family stove (炉子). When the stove is lit for cooking, hot air travels through passages ____38____ (run) beneath the kang, warming its entire mass.
To a child, the magic of the kang was in its warm surface ____39____ stayed hot all night long. But as an adult — and now an academic expert — I can appreciate what a ____40____ (remarkable) efficient piece of engineering it is.
____41____ central heating, which works by warming the air in every room, the kang heats only its own surface. The room ____42____ (it) may be cold, but people warm themselves by lying or sitting on the platform. Once warmed, it slowly releases heat for many hours.
Taking care of the kang was a family affair. My father — a secondary school teacher, not ____43____ engineer — became an expert at constructing the kang. Carefully building coal around the fire ____44____ (keep) it alive was my mom’s job. Looking back, I realize how much skill and labor were involved.

【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:我关于哈尔滨冬季清晨记忆的最初片段,是关于躺在炕上醒来的情景——这是一种用土砖制成的加热式平台床,这种床在中国北方至少已有2000年的历史了。修饰名词bed用形容词heated,作定语。

【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:妈妈的任务就是精心地在火堆周围添放煤,以保持火势持续燃烧。此处keep作目的状语用不定式。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意:尽管使用炕需要耗费不少心力,但它却能实现现代供暖系统难以企及的效果:低能耗供暖,暖意持久绵长。上文long-lasting为形容词,后跟名词warmth,不可数名词。

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。
To me, my older sister Serena was simply the person who always occupied the bathroom when I needed it most. Three years older than me, she seemed to live in a different world — one filled with college plans, long nights of study, and an appearance of calm confidence that made adults trust her without question. At home, however, she was ordinary. She left her half-empty cup on the counter and took away my things without permission. So annoyed was I that I kept my distance.
I only knew that she worked evenings at a youth center downtown. Yet Serena rarely mentioned volunteer hours or shared stories. She would come home late, drop her bag by the stairs, and disappear upstairs before I had time to wonder what her days were really like.
Then one spring evening, a storm swept through our town. Wind beat against the windows. Rain rushed down the streets, turning the gutters (排水沟) into narrow rivers. The power went out before dinner, and the kitchen fell into darkness, lit only by a small battery-powered lamp on the counter. Shadows jumped along the walls as Serena paced back and forth, checking her phone again and again. Messages from the youth center kept coming. The basement was flooding. Families poured into the center, carrying bags and restless children, and there simply weren’t enough volunteers to help them all.
Without hesitation, Serena simply pulled on her jacket and reached for the door, as if this decision had already been made somewhere deep inside her. My own worries — my grades, missed deadlines, ranking lists — suddenly felt thin and unreal, like pieces of paper left out in the rain. Before I could stop myself, I stood up and followed her to the door. Serena hesitated for a moment, then nodded, relief quietly settling over her face. We got into the car, and she drove slowly through the flooded streets until the youth center appeared ahead, a small brick building lit up against the darkness.
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。
Upon reaching the center, Serena showed me what to do.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When we left late that night, something inside me had quietly changed.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Upon reaching the center, Serena showed me what to do. She guided me to help distribute blankets and food to the families who had sought refuge there. As I handed out supplies, I saw the gratitude in their eyes, and it filled me with a sense of purpose. Serena moved gracefully through the chaos, her calm confidence inspiring those around her. I realized that this was her world, a place where she made a real difference.
When we left late that night, something inside me had quietly changed. The annoyance and distance I had felt towards Serena were replaced by admiration and understanding. I saw her in a new light, not just as my older sister but as a compassionate and dedicated individual. As we drove home through the still-rainy streets, I knew that I wanted to be more like her, to find my own way to make a positive impact on the world.

【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了作者对姐姐Serena的态度从厌烦、疏远到敬佩、理解的转变,通过一次暴风雨中跟随姐姐去青年中心帮忙的经历,看到姐姐的热情与奉献,进而改变对姐姐的看法、树立自身成长方向的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“到中心,Serena就告诉我该怎么做”可知,第一段可描写到达青年中心后,Serena指导作者分发物资,让作者在帮忙中感受到价值,同时观察到Serena在混乱中的从容与影响力,初步改变对姐姐的认知。
②由第二段首句内容“那天晚上我们很晚才离开,我的内心悄悄发生了变化。”可知,第二段可描写返程时作者内心的具体转变,不再厌烦姐姐,而是充满敬佩与理解,同时表达向姐姐学习、想要传递温暖的想法,升华人物情感与文章主旨。
2.续写线索:到达青年中心——姐姐指导作者分发物资——看到姐姐的另一面——内心发生变化——重新认识姐姐——决心向姐姐学习。
