Lexie Alford, 21, said she recently became the youngest person to visit every country. Though her achievement is yet to be confirmed by the Guinness Book of World Records, Alford said she had been to 196 countries. While her adventures may have looked attractive and exciting on her social media account, Alford faced various difficulties such as visa rejections, financial struggles, and health issues like malaria and food poisoning.
For most people, the barrier to seeing the world is lack of money, but Alford managed to fund her travels largely on her own. She started working multiple jobs and saving everything she had earned since she was 12 years old. Additionally, her mother owns a travel agency and it has helped her find the best deals and book ahead of time, contributing to significant savings on flights and hotels.
As a solo female traveler, Alford prioritized safety when deciding how long to stay in a country, in addition to budget and personal interest. She spent over a month in countries like Egypt and Switzerland, where there was so much she could do and there were ways to make those trips financially reasonable. Then there are some countries like Mali, South Sudan, and Somalia which she would have loved to spend more than a few days exploring, but unfortunately she didn't have the budget to take the proper security precautions necessary to travel throughout those countries safely. Despite experiencing intense loneliness at times, Alford thinks that solo travel is a rewarding experience that everyone should have at least once in their lives.
After her travels, Alford now believes that every problem has a solution if you work hard enough. There are also a lot of sacrifices you have to make if you want to travel the world, but if it's something you' re truly passionate about, it only takes courage to pursue it.
4. What word best characterizes Alford's journey to 196 countries?
A. Eventful. B. Pleasant. C. Costly. D. Romantic.
5. How did Alford finance travel expenses?
A. By securing free flights and hotel stays. B. By getting support from her parents.
C. By managing her mother's travel agency. D. By taking jobs and setting aside earnings.
6. What accounts for Alford's short stay in countries like Mali?
A. Limited funds for safety measures. B. Lack of interest in their attractions.
C. Intense loneliness during solo travel. D. Difficulty in communicating with locals.
7. What does Alford highlight about his world travel in the last paragraph?
A. Sacrifices are often necessary. B. Every problem has a solution.
C. Genuine enthusiasm counts most. D. Spirit of adventure is appreciated.
C
Giving has many benefits, but it isn’t always easy. For example, if you suffer from depression (抑郁), you may find it hard to get up in the morning, let alone help others. But new research by Shenzhen and Peking Universities finds there may be a clever way to give. In the study, researchers arranged hundreds of young, depressed adults to either make daily micro-donations for two months or to be on a waiting list. Told that giving small donations helps improve society, participants were invited to donate at least one cent per day for the next two months to any charity.
Before and every week during those two months, all participants filled out questionnaires that were about their possible depression-related aspects: depressed feelings, lack of joy, physical discomforts, sleepiness, and interpersonal problems, as well as how often they felt positive and negative feelings.
After analyzing the results, the researchers found people who donated daily, even as little as one cent a day, felt significantly more positive than people on the waiting list. This, in turn, seemed to explain why they also felt less depressed each week. In other words, making donations, even small ones, helps improve mood (心情). And, though social connection wasn’t necessary for deriving benefit, the study suggests donating could help depressed people who might otherwise refuse to practice kindness toward others, according to Jinting Liu, one of the study’s coauthors.
Liu suggests this could be due to the fact that if you tend to feel depressed, focusing on others for a while gives you a break from thinking about yourself and your shortcomings. It’s also possible that giving makes you feel better about yourself and that prevents the negative self-talk common to depressives.
Interestingly, although people who gave more generously felt a bit happier and less depressed than those who gave less, the difference wasn’t big enough to be significant. This means even people with low means can make use of this simple activity. “Just doing something nice for others is great,” says Liu. “The amount of money isn’t the key part; it’s really about the kindness behind it.”
8. What information did the researchers collect about all participants?
A. Their levels of depressive signs. B. Their willingness to donate.
C. The quality of their social life. D. The frequency of their sleepiness.
9. What does the underlined word “deriving” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Using. B. Reducing. C. Doubting. D. Getting.
10. Why might giving help depressed individuals?
A. It ensures comfortable talks. B. It reduces self-focus time.
C. It encourages physical activity. D. It improves interpersonal relationships.
11. What can be learned according to the study?
A. Giving is difficult to practice. B. Money amount determines results.
C. Tiny kindnesses remain helpful. D. Generosity is the key source of joy.
D
Have you ever seen an animal video online that made you stop and wonder? Videos showing a wolf taking care of a rabbit, or a lion walking calmly through a small town are now spreading widely. This is possible because of AI technology. However, scientists warn such popular videos may hurt real wildlife protection and spread wrong ideas about nature.
A study in Conservation Biology points out that AI-generated (AI生成的) animal videos create an untrue world, leading to wrong ideas about animal behavior and broadening the gap between people and nature. Co-author José Guerrero-Casado stresses the danger of false information. For example, videos showing birds killing “bad” snakes might make people less willing to protect snakes, and create false ideas about animals that are already in danger.
The effect on children is especially worrying. These videos can give them wrong ideas about how people and animals really get along. When children discover that real-world animals do not act as they do in these made-up videos, it can have the opposite result, finally making them feel less connected to nature. This risk grows as young people increasingly turn to social media for information.
So, how can one recognize these videos? Experts suggest looking for a few signs: unnatural animal movements that appear too smooth or seem impossible in real life; light and shadows that do not look quite right; and small details like fur or feathers that appear unclear or repeat in an unusual way.
To deal with these risks, the research team suggests putting more effort into education, like teaching media literacy (素养) in schools. As another co-author Francisco Sánchez says, the goal is to make sure “children learn early that there are no lions living here.” While they think this is important, the researchers also say that school lessons alone cannot stop the spread of false information made by AI. This leads to an important question about who else in society needs to help solve this problem, if school education is not enough.
12. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph?
A. By giving examples. B. By making a comparison.
C. By quoting an expert. D. By sharing an experience.
13. What can be inferred about AI-generated animal videos?
A. They make children love animals less.
B. They mainly focus on species in danger.
C. They may make animals seem dangerous.
D. They create a false understanding of nature.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards AI-generated animal videos?
A. Supportive. B. Indifferent. C. Concerned. D. Doubtful.
15. What will the author most probably discuss next?
A. The media literacy lessons. B. The duties of social media.
C. The popularity of such videos. D. The threats to wildlife protection.

A piercing (刺耳的) alarm wakes you up from your sweet dream. But it’s not your alarm clock — your building is on fire. ____16____. Here are some suggestions to improve your chances.
____17____.
If you’re in the market for a new home, or if you simply like playing with buttons, a high-rise (高层的) apartment sounds like the right fit for you. Still, it’s essential to get prepared. Make sure you choose a building with an up-to-date fire safety system. Familiarize yourself with the building’s emergency procedures and locate all emergency exits.
Don’t panic
An unexpected fire alarm will be scary, but try to stay calm. Keep a clear head and try to figure out whether the fire is above you, below you, or on your floor. Then feel the door to your unit. If it is cool, you should be able to leave your apartment and head for the nearest exit. If you do leave, be sure to close all the doors behind you. ____18____.
Get down to the floor

Never attempt to jump
Do not jump from any floor above the second. You’ll likely have better chances of survival waiting inside for help to arrive. Although it feels unreasonable to wait during a fire, panicked decisions can lead to costly mistakes. ____20____. They use fire-resistant materials and are equipped with sprinklers, alarms, and emergency voice systems to guide you.
A. Do your research
B. Update emergency procedures
C. It picks up first responders at ground level

My cousin Allen was the coolest person in all of Minneapolis. By the age of 19, he was a star football player at the University of Minnesota. I wanted to be just like him. So when Allen asked me to join him on a spring fishing trip in northern Minnesota, I said yes!
After planning the trip, we gathered clothes and supplies and then set off on our adventure. We reached the Superior National Forest by early evening. On the way to our campsite, Allen pointed to a small house faraway in one of the mountains, saying that it was the ranger station (护林站) where the foresters worked.
Allen knew all the tricks of an experienced camper. After we gathered enough wood from the forest floor, he started the campfire using only stone and steel, no matches. After a day of travelling, we were very hungry. We ate beef and rice and some soup as well.
Exhausted, we crawled into our sleeping bags early. Allen was still talking about his past camping adventures when a sudden wind picked up from the north. The temperature dropped and it began to snow. Allen knew of a way to increase the temperature inside the tent. He dragged a log from the woods, wrapped aluminum foil (铝箔) around the log and then placed it near the campfire. The heat from the fire reflected into the tent. Soon the tent was warm again and thoughts of lake fish filled my dreams.
I was still dreaming when Allen woke me up in a panic. Our tent was on fire! The snow had stopped during the night, but the wind had fanned the flames of the fire towards our tent. Frightened by the flames, I ran out of the tent immediately. The tent collapsed with Allen inside. Without any hesitation, I reached into the burning tent, grabbed him, and dragged him to the icy lake. We checked each other to make sure neither of us was hurt.
续写要求:
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。
Later, as we stood by the burning tent to keep warm, we considered our situation.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Suddenly, we heard a noise in the forest.

Then there are some countries like Mali, South Sudan, and Somalia which she would have loved to spend more than a few days exploring, but unfortunately she didn't have the budget to take the proper security precautions necessary to travel throughout those countries safely. Despite experiencing intense loneliness at times, Alford thinks that solo travel is a rewarding experience that everyone should have at least once in their lives.
After her travels, Alford now believes that every problem has a solution if you work hard enough. There are also a lot of sacrifices you have to make if you want to travel the world, but if it's something you' re truly passionate about, it only takes courage to pursue it.
4. What word best characterizes Alford's journey to 196 countries?
A. Eventful. B. Pleasant. C. Costly. D. Romantic.
5. How did Alford finance travel expenses?
A. By securing free flights and hotel stays. B. By getting support from her parents.
C. By managing her mother's travel agency. D. By taking jobs and setting aside earnings.
6. What accounts for Alford's short stay in countries like Mali?
A. Limited funds for safety measures. B. Lack of interest in their attractions.
C. Intense loneliness during solo travel. D. Difficulty in communicating with locals.
7. What does Alford highlight about his world travel in the last paragraph?
A. Sacrifices are often necessary. B. Every problem has a solution.
C. Genuine enthusiasm counts most. D. Spirit of adventure is appreciated.

Giving has many benefits, but it isn’t always easy. For example, if you suffer from depression (抑郁), you may find it hard to get up in the morning, let alone help others. But new research by Shenzhen and Peking Universities finds there may be a clever way to give. In the study, researchers arranged hundreds of young, depressed adults to either make daily micro-donations for two months or to be on a waiting list. Told that giving small donations helps improve society, participants were invited to donate at least one cent per day for the next two months to any charity.
Before and every week during those two months, all participants filled out questionnaires that were about their possible depression-related aspects: depressed feelings, lack of joy, physical discomforts, sleepiness, and interpersonal problems, as well as how often they felt positive and negative feelings.
After analyzing the results, the researchers found people who donated daily, even as little as one cent a day, felt significantly more positive than people on the waiting list. This, in turn, seemed to explain why they also felt less depressed each week. In other words, making donations, even small ones, helps improve mood (心情). And, though social connection wasn’t necessary for deriving benefit, the study suggests donating could help depressed people who might otherwise refuse to practice kindness toward others, according to Jinting Liu, one of the study’s coauthors.
Liu suggests this could be due to the fact that if you tend to feel depressed, focusing on others for a while gives you a break from thinking about yourself and your shortcomings. It’s also possible that giving makes you feel better about yourself and that prevents the negative self-talk common to depressives.
Interestingly, although people who gave more generously felt a bit happier and less depressed than those who gave less, the difference wasn’t big enough to be significant. This means even people with low means can make use of this simple activity. “Just doing something nice for others is great,” says Liu. “The amount of money isn’t the key part; it’s really about the kindness behind it.”
8. What information did the researchers collect about all participants?
A. Their levels of depressive signs. B. Their willingness to donate.
C. The quality of their social life. D. The frequency of their sleepiness.
9. What does the underlined word “deriving” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Using. B. Reducing. C. Doubting. D. Getting.
10. Why might giving help depressed individuals?
A. It ensures comfortable talks. B. It reduces self-focus time.
C. It encourages physical activity. D. It improves interpersonal relationships.
11. What can be learned according to the study?
A. Giving is difficult to practice. B. Money amount determines results.
C. Tiny kindnesses remain helpful. D. Generosity is the key source of joy.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍深大与北大的研究发现小额日常捐赠能改善抑郁人群的情绪,并阐释其原因和研究的核心结论。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Before and every week during those two months, all participants filled out questionnaires that were about their possible depression-related aspects: depressed feelings, lack of joy, physical discomforts, sleepiness, and interpersonal problems, as well as how often they felt positive and negative feelings.(在这两个月的研究开始前以及期间的每周,所有参与者都需要填写调查问卷,内容涉及他们可能存在的各类抑郁相关表现:抑郁情绪、愉悦感缺失、身体不适、嗜睡、人际关系问题,同时也包含他们产生积极和消极情绪的频率)”可知,研究人员收集的是参与者各类抑郁相关症状的表现程度。故选A项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“In other words, making donations, even small ones, helps improve mood (心情). (换言之,进行捐赠 —— 哪怕是小额捐赠,也有助于改善心情)可知,该研究的合著者刘锦婷表示,尽管获得这种益处并不需要借助社交联系,但研究表明,捐赠行为能够帮助那些原本可能不愿向他人表达善意的抑郁人群,所以,“deriving”含义为“获得”,与D项Getting一致。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Liu suggests this could be due to the fact that if you tend to feel depressed, focusing on others for a while gives you a break from thinking about yourself and your shortcomings.(刘锦婷认为,这可能是因为如果你容易感到抑郁,暂时关注他人能让你从思考自己和自身缺点中抽离出来)”可知,捐赠能帮助抑郁人群的原因是它减少了人们关注自我的时间。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“After analyzing the results, the researchers found people who donated daily, even as little as one cent a day, felt significantly more positive than people on the waiting list. This, in turn, seemed to explain why they also felt less depressed each week.(在分析结果后,研究人员发现,那些每天都进行捐赠,哪怕每天仅捐一美分的人,比在等待名单上的人明显感觉更积极。反过来,这似乎也解释了为什么他们每周的抑郁感也会减轻)”以及最后一段中的“Interestingly, although people who gave more generously felt a bit happier and less depressed than those who gave less, the difference wasn’t big enough to be significant. This means even people with low means can make use of this simple activity. “Just doing something nice for others is great,” says Liu. “The amount of money isn’t the key part; it’s really about the kindness behind it.”(有趣的是,尽管捐赠更为慷慨的人比捐赠较少的人感觉更快乐、抑郁感更轻,但这种差异还不够大,并不显著。这意味着即便经济条件不好的人也能参与这项简单的活动。刘(研究人员之一)表示:“为他人做点好事就很棒。钱的数额并非关键,真正重要的是其背后的善意”)”可知,这项研究表明哪怕是微小的善意举动,对改善抑郁情绪依然是有帮助的。故选C项。
D
Have you ever seen an animal video online that made you stop and wonder? Videos showing a wolf taking care of a rabbit, or a lion walking calmly through a small town are now spreading widely. This is possible because of AI technology. However, scientists warn such popular videos may hurt real wildlife protection and spread wrong ideas about nature.
A study in Conservation Biology points out that AI-generated (AI生成的) animal videos create an untrue world, leading to wrong ideas about animal behavior and broadening the gap between people and nature. Co-author José Guerrero-Casado stresses the danger of false information. For example, videos showing birds killing “bad” snakes might make people less willing to protect snakes, and create false ideas about animals that are already in danger.
The effect on children is especially worrying. These videos can give them wrong ideas about how people and animals really get along. When children discover that real-world animals do not act as they do in these made-up videos, it can have the opposite result, finally making them feel less connected to nature. This risk grows as young people increasingly turn to social media for information.
So, how can one recognize these videos? Experts suggest looking for a few signs: unnatural animal movements that appear too smooth or seem impossible in real life; light and shadows that do not look quite right; and small details like fur or feathers that appear unclear or repeat in an unusual way.
To deal with these risks, the research team suggests putting more effort into education, like teaching media literacy (素养) in schools. As another co-author Francisco Sánchez says, the goal is to make sure “children learn early that there are no lions living here.” While they think this is important, the researchers also say that school lessons alone cannot stop the spread of false information made by AI. This leads to an important question about who else in society needs to help solve this problem, if school education is not enough.
12. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph?
A. By giving examples. B. By making a comparison.
C. By quoting an expert. D. By sharing an experience.
13. What can be inferred about AI-generated animal videos?
A. They make children love animals less.
B. They mainly focus on species in danger.
C. They may make animals seem dangerous.
D. They create a false understanding of nature.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards AI-generated animal videos?
A. Supportive. B. Indifferent. C. Concerned. D. Doubtful.
15. What will the author most probably discuss next?
A. The media literacy lessons. B. The duties of social media.
C. The popularity of such videos. D. The threats to wildlife protection.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了AI生成动物视频的危害及应对措施。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Have you ever seen an animal video online that made you stop and wonder? Videos showing a wolf taking care of a rabbit, or a lion walking calmly through a small town are now spreading widely. This is possible because of AI technology. However, scientists warn such popular videos may hurt real wildlife protection and spread wrong ideas about nature.(你是否曾在网上刷到过令人驻足好奇的动物视频?如今,狼照料兔子、狮子从容穿行小镇这类视频广为流传。这类视频的出现得益于人工智能技术。然而科学家警示,这类热门视频会损害真正的野生动物保护工作,还会传播关于自然的错误认知。)”可知,作者通过举例(狼照顾兔子,狮子平静穿过小镇的视频)来引出第一段要讨论的问题,即AI生成动物视频的危害及应对措施。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“A study in Conservation Biology points out that AI-generated (AI生成的) animal videos create an untrue world, leading to wrong ideas about animal behavior and broadening the gap between people and nature.(一项发表于《保护生物学》的研究指出,人工智能生成的动物视频构建出虚假的世界,会让人们对动物行为产生误解,进一步拉大人类与自然之间的隔阂。)”可知,人工智能生成的动物视频创造了一个不真实的世界,导致人们对动物行为产生错误的认识,即对自然产生了错误的理解。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Co-author José Guerrero-Casado stresses the danger of false information.(合著者何塞·格雷罗·卡萨多强调了虚假信息的危险性。)”以及第三段中“The effect on children is especially worrying.(对儿童的影响尤其令人担忧。)”可知,作者对于人工智能生成的动物视频持担忧的态度。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“While they think this is important, the researchers also say that school lessons alone cannot stop the spread of false information made by AI. This leads to an important question about who else in society needs to help solve this problem, if school education is not enough.(虽然他们认为这很重要,但研究人员也表示,仅靠学校课程无法阻止人工智能制造的虚假信息的传播。这就引出了一个重要的问题:如果学校教育不够,社会上还有谁需要帮助解决这个问题?)”可知,作者接下来最有可能讨论的是除了学校教育之外,还有谁需要帮助解决这个问题,即社会媒体的责任。故选B。

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。
A piercing (刺耳的) alarm wakes you up from your sweet dream. But it’s not your alarm clock — your building is on fire. ____16____. Here are some suggestions to improve your chances.
____17____.
If you’re in the market for a new home, or if you simply like playing with buttons, a high-rise (高层的) apartment sounds like the right fit for you. Still, it’s essential to get prepared. Make sure you choose a building with an up-to-date fire safety system. Familiarize yourself with the building’s emergency procedures and locate all emergency exits.
Don’t panic
An unexpected fire alarm will be scary, but try to stay calm. Keep a clear head and try to figure out whether the fire is above you, below you, or on your floor. Then feel the door to your unit. If it is cool, you should be able to leave your apartment and head for the nearest exit. If you do leave, be sure to close all the doors behind you. ____18____.
Get down to the floor
The primary killer in a fire is smoke, not the heat or flames. If you have to pass through smoke, make sure you do so by crawling on all fours. Crawl your way through the smoke, as breathable air is often closest to the floor. ____19____. This helps filter out the smoke as you breathe.
Never attempt to jump
Do not jump from any floor above the second. You’ll likely have better chances of survival waiting inside for help to arrive. Although it feels unreasonable to wait during a fire, panicked decisions can lead to costly mistakes. ____20____. They use fire-resistant materials and are equipped with sprinklers, alarms, and emergency voice systems to guide you.
A. Do your research
B. Update emergency procedures
C. It picks up first responders at ground level
D. Meanwhile, use a wet cloth to cover your nose and mouth
E. The good news is that today’s high-rises are built for fire safety
F. By doing so, you don’t give the fire more oxygen to keep burning
G. If you’re in a burning high-rise apartment, your choices determine whether you survive
【答案】16. G 17. A 18. F 19. D 20. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了关于高层建筑火灾逃生指南,提供了在火灾中提高生存几率的具体建议。
【16题详解】
由上文“A piercing alarm wakes you up from your sweet dream. But it’s not your alarm clock — your building is on fire. (一阵刺耳的警报声将你从甜美的睡梦中惊醒。但发出警报的不是你的闹钟——而是你所住的大楼着火了。)”及下文“Here are some suggestions to improve your chances. (以下是一些能提高你生存几率的建议。)”可知,上句描述高层着火的危机场景,下句引出逃生建议,选项G“If you’re in a burning high-rise apartment, your choices determine whether you survive (如果你正身处一栋着火的高层公寓,你的抉择将决定自己能否幸存)”起到承上启下的作用,点明“高层着火时,选择决定生死”的核心,自然衔接下文的建议,该选项中的“a burning high-rise apartment”与上文的“building is on fire”相呼应。故选G。
【17题详解】
由下文“If you’re in the market for a new home, or if you simply like playing with buttons, a high-rise apartment sounds like the right fit for you. Still, it’s essential to get prepared. Make sure you choose a building with an up-to-date fire safety system. Familiarize yourself with the building’s emergency procedures and locate all emergency exits. (如果你正在购置新房,或者你就是喜欢各种便捷设施,那么高层公寓或许是个不错的选择。但即便如此,提前做好准备也至关重要。务必选择配有最新消防安全系统的楼栋,熟悉大楼的应急处置流程,并确认所有紧急出口的位置。)”可知,本段的核心是择公寓时的准备措施——选有最新消防安全系统的大楼、熟悉应急流程和安全出口,且空处是本段的小标题,选项A“Do your research (提前了解情况)”能概括本段内容,符合题意。故选A。
【18题详解】
由上文“If you do leave, be sure to close all the doors behind you. (离开时,切记关上身后所有的门。)”可知,上文提到“关门”的动作,空处需解释关门的原因,选项F“By doing so, you don’t give the fire more oxygen to keep burning (这样做可以避免为火势提供更多氧气,防止火势进一步蔓延)”解释了关门可以避免给火势提供更多氧气助燃,逻辑连贯。该选项中的“By doing so”指代前文的“be sure to close all the doors behind you”。故选F。
【19题详解】
由上文“Crawl your way through the smoke, as breathable air is often closest to the floor. (贴着地面爬行,因为可供呼吸的空气往往集中在靠近地面的位置。)”及下文“This helps filter out the smoke as you breathe. (这能帮助你在呼吸时过滤掉烟雾中的有害物质。)”可知,上文讲“匍匐避烟”的方法,下文讲“这有助于在呼吸时过滤烟雾”,选项D“Meanwhile, use a wet cloth to cover your nose and mouth (与此同时,用湿布捂住口鼻)”补充了另一个防烟措施,下文的“This”指代该选项的“use a wet cloth to cover your nose and mouth”,语义衔接紧密。故选D。
【20题详解】
由上文“Do not jump from any floor above the second. You’ll likely have better chances of survival waiting inside for help to arrive. Although it feels unreasonable to wait during a fire, panicked decisions can lead to costly mistakes. (切勿从二楼以上的任何楼层跳楼逃生。待在室内等待救援人员到来,你的生存几率会更高。尽管在火灾发生时,待在原地等待看似很不合理,但慌乱之下做出的决定往往会导致无法挽回的后果。)”及下文“They use fire-resistant materials and are equipped with sprinklers, alarms, and emergency voice systems to guide you. (这些大楼采用了防火材料,还配备了自动喷水灭火装置、警报器和应急语音广播系统,为你指引逃生方向。)”可知,上文建议“待在室内”,下文说明高楼的防火设计,选项E“The good news is that today’s high-rises are built for fire safety (好消息是,如今的高层建筑都是按照消防安全标准建造的)”起到过渡作用,点明“如今的高楼是为消防安全而建”,解释了“等待救援更安全”的原因。故选E。

Dear Editor,

【答案】Dear Editor,
I want to express my concern regarding a trend at our school: students creating memes of teachers and sharing them on social media.
While some may view this as harmless and creative, I think it can also be disrespectful, harming teachers’ reputations and undermining their authority. Furthermore, using their images without consent raises privacy issues and mocking teachers’ appearances or personal lives can be hurtful. Humor should not come at the expense of respect.
I suggest our school organize digital etiquette workshops to help students understand the difference between playful humor and harmful mockery. Additionally, creating guidelines for respectful meme creation could foster a more positive environment. After all, respect makes humor meaningful. Let’s think twice before clicking “share”.
Sincerely,
Li Hua

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。
My cousin Allen was the coolest person in all of Minneapolis. By the age of 19, he was a star football player at the University of Minnesota. I wanted to be just like him. So when Allen asked me to join him on a spring fishing trip in northern Minnesota, I said yes!
After planning the trip, we gathered clothes and supplies and then set off on our adventure. We reached the Superior National Forest by early evening. On the way to our campsite, Allen pointed to a small house faraway in one of the mountains, saying that it was the ranger station (护林站) where the foresters worked.
Allen knew all the tricks of an experienced camper. After we gathered enough wood from the forest floor, he started the campfire using only stone and steel, no matches. After a day of travelling, we were very hungry. We ate beef and rice and some soup as well.
Exhausted, we crawled into our sleeping bags early. Allen was still talking about his past camping adventures when a sudden wind picked up from the north. The temperature dropped and it began to snow. Allen knew of a way to increase the temperature inside the tent. He dragged a log from the woods, wrapped aluminum foil (铝箔) around the log and then placed it near the campfire. The heat from the fire reflected into the tent. Soon the tent was warm again and thoughts of lake fish filled my dreams.
I was still dreaming when Allen woke me up in a panic. Our tent was on fire! The snow had stopped during the night, but the wind had fanned the flames of the fire towards our tent. Frightened by the flames, I ran out of the tent immediately. The tent collapsed with Allen inside. Without any hesitation, I reached into the burning tent, grabbed him, and dragged him to the icy lake. We checked each other to make sure neither of us was hurt.
续写要求:
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。
Later, as we stood by the burning tent to keep warm, we considered our situation.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Suddenly, we heard a noise in the forest.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Later, as we stood by the burning tent to keep warm, we considered our difficult situation. Our campsite was in the deep of the forest, really far away from the highway. We were in the middle of nowhere, wearing only underwear, with our supplies burnt into ashes, including our cellphones. Even Allen was unsure what to do next. The only thing we could do was just sit in the cold air and wonder how to get out of the forest.
Suddenly, we heard a noise in the forest. Anxiously we listened and stared into the darkness. A jeep appeared. A forester had spotted the light from the fire and had come to have a check. We jumped into the warm vehicle and the forester drove us to the ranger station, where we were given clothes and were able to call our parents. Allen and I had many more camping adventures from then on, but it was on this trip that Allen began to treat me more like a friend rather than a younger cousin. Our friendship continues to this day.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者和堂兄Allen 去明尼苏达州北部的苏必利尔国家森林营地里露营,准备第二天去钓鱼。但是由于夜里刮起了大风,导致帐篷着火了。幸运的是,作者从着火的帐篷里把Allen拉出来了,二人都没怎么受伤。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“后来,当我们站在燃烧着的帐篷旁取暖时,我们考虑到我们的困难处境。”可知,第一段可描写作者和Allen当时的处境以及考虑如何走出森林。
②由第二段首句内容“突然,我们听到森林里有响声。”可知,第二段可描写作者和Allen如何获救以及之后Allen对待作者的态度的转变。
2.续写线索:所有用品烧成灰烬——不知所措——想着如何走出森林——感到焦虑——听见声音——看到亮光——得救——友谊持续
