In my ninth-grade writing class last year, I met a cowboy who saved his town, a strict father who demanded his son earn straight A’s, and a modern-day Juliet who died of heartbreak after her parents rejected the love of her young life. More than once, I found myself wondering just how my students, who’d created these people, knew their subjects so well.
But things were different for their first essay, which was about the question: “Why is writing important?” Most of the essays filled less than one page, and few contained a sentence that could be interpreted as a thesis (论点 ) statement. I was shocked. Then I realized that the problem was the question itself. They could have written pages on the necessity of computers, but writing, in and of itself, simply didn’t strike them as important. This would have to change.
As a new unit started, I asked everyone to write a persuasive piece on a health-related topic of their choice. This time they found the exercise much more interesting. For the next two assignments, a personal-narrative unit followed by a creative-writing workshop, I only required that the piece meet the specifications of its genre (体裁) and that it contain a thesis.The results were staggering. The students took on diverse topics and turned in stories, 10 to20 pages each, with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart.
I walked into class believing that writing is important as a means of communication. However, my students demonstrated something more important to me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbook full of messages about writing’s most powerful significance — the ability to connect people, to put us in another’s skin, to teach us what it means to be human.
4. Who are the people mentioned at the beginning of paragraph 1?
A. Ninth graders. B. Students’ parents.
C. Modern writers. D. Fictional characters.
5. What did the author realize about the students’ first essay?
A. The topic failed to arouse their interest.
B. The students lacked basic writing skills.
C. The time given for the essay was too short.
D. The students didn’t know how to write a thesis.
6. What does the underlined word“staggering” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Controversial. B. Remarkable.
C. Time-consuming. D. Upsetting.
7. What does the author’s experience show?
A. Teaching is learning. B. Still waters run deep.
C. Knowledge is power. D. Practice makes perfect.
C
Elon Musk has offered a prize of $100m for the best carbon capture proposal. I can save his committee a lot of time. The money should go to Peter Wohlleben, whose book The Hidden Life of Trees was the most valuable book of 2015 that everyone should read to understand trees and our planet better. Wohlleben’s idea is this: do nothing about trees. Stop fiddling (干预) with them, thinking that we can deal with climate change better than nature. If we fiddle, our Romes will burn.
The Hidden Life of Trees argued that trees are social. It shows that they can be our saviors. But it’s terribly hard to let ourselves be saved. We think we can be the authors of our salvation (拯救). Of course, there are things we could and should be doing, but in terms of forestry practice, often what’s billed as part of the solution is part of the problem.
Anyone who has planted a tree in their garden knows that it has a far-reaching effect — it makes your garden cooler in summer and warmer in winter. As a species, we have survived many climatic changes by changing our behavior — and that’s how trees survive, too. Trees learn from their past harms and produce younger ones programmed with those lessons. They regulate their growth by changing the rate at which they drip-feed (滴喂) younger trees with sugar solution through root networks.
Deciduous (落叶的) forests in particular remove greenhouse gases effectively as long as they live. Cut them down and burn them and you’re releasing carbon dioxide not just from the wood, but also from the forest floor. Deciduous trees are not “harvest-ready” at 200 years: they are teenagers. We must question comforting expressions such as “renewable energy” and learn the real cost of our toilet paper.
If we don’t learn to do nothing about trees, they will eventually be alone anyway — but without us. Wohlleben brilliantly and readably shows us how urgent and how hard it is to do nothing.
8. What does Wohlleben suggest for carbon capture?
A. Fight climate change. B. Leave trees alone.
C. Save the earth. D. Change forestry species.
9. How do trees survive the climatic change?
A. They adjust their growth. B. They lose all their leaves.
C. They stop absorbing water. D. They get help from humans.
10. Why does the author mention “toilet paper” in paragraph 4?
A. To show trees are used to make daily necessities.
B. To encourage people to use renewable energy.
C. To remind people of the real cost of cutting trees.
D. To explain how forests remove greenhouse gases.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To recommend a book.
B. To clarify a proposal for a reward.
C. To illustrate the carbon capture system.
D. To give an account of the survival of trees.
D
Beneath the Pacific lies the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), where tens of billions of polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) are packed with cobalt (钴). Seabed-mining companies promote them as “a battery in a rock” and “the easiest way to solve climate change.” They claim that those nodules can provide metals for 4.8 billion electric vehicles.
Yet this promise threatens a biological treasure. Marine (海洋的) biologists reveal the CCZ shelters over 5,000 unique species in the darkness. The extensive mining of cobalt may lead to the loss of biodiversity. A company claimed to have found a solution to minimize the damage to the ecology and has already trialed a 25-ton collector robot designed to harvest these nodules. However, a 2023 study shows it can cause permanent destruction in the area.
Commercial mining is not yet permitted in international waters. The International Seabed Authority (ISA) is still determining how, and under what conditions, mining should be allowed. After 28 years of debate, its 168 member states still lack formal agreement. While companies advocate using nodule-collecting robots, 437 scientists from 44 countries demand an immediate stop.ISA studies confirm that just 10% mining of the CCZ may wipe out 50% of its species.
Nor is it certain that cobalt mining will even be all that important in car-battery technology. Many battery companies are trying to recycle cobalt from spent batteries. In March, several major European carmakers jointly stated that they would not buy any metals produced from deep-sea mining before the environmental risks are “completely understood”. Meanwhile, several Chinese electric vehicle producers have already made the switch, recycling up to 95% of metals from used batteries. “Why rush to mine the ocean for metals becoming outdated?” said battery expert Gavin Harper.
On June 8, 21 marine scientists from 8 universities finished a six-week research in the CCZ and packed up seafloor samples to take back to their labs for further analysis. “An assessment of the mining’s impact will take years of research,” says Andrew from Edinburgh. “I’m trying to get the best environmental data. And then it’s up to society to make the decision to go ahead.”
12. Why are the nodules called “a battery in a rock”?
A. They contain valuable metals.
B. They have recharging qualities.
C. They own battery-like structures.
D. They generate renewable power.
13. What can be inferred about the ISA?
A. It prioritizes economic interests.
B. It is guarded about seabed mining.
C. It opposes commercial operations.
D. It requires more technical support.
14. What does the author want to illustrate in Paragraph 4?
A. Deep-sea mining meets demands.
B. Carmakers reuse battery materials.
C. Battery recycling needs promoting.
D. Seabed mining for cobalt can wait.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Marine Mining, a Green Solution
B. Cobalt, the Future of Batteries
C. Ocean Metals, an Ocean Risk?
D. CCZ, the Treasure Unknown?

57. 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。
The car turned onto the familiar road that led to Grandma’s farm. “Jude, this summer holiday will be a great chance for you to stay with your grandma,” Dad said as he drove.
The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing,” Grandma nodded.
I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market.
Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer.
However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.”
I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the 20th century.
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。
Maybe I could be someone who was really competent.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in.

In my ninth-grade writing class last year, I met a cowboy who saved his town, a strict father who demanded his son earn straight A’s, and a modern-day Juliet who died of heartbreak after her parents rejected the love of her young life. More than once, I found myself wondering just how my students, who’d created these people, knew their subjects so well.
But things were different for their first essay, which was about the question: “Why is writing important?” Most of the essays filled less than one page, and few contained a sentence that could be interpreted as a thesis (论点 ) statement. I was shocked. Then I realized that the problem was the question itself. They could have written pages on the necessity of computers, but writing, in and of itself, simply didn’t strike them as important. This would have to change.
As a new unit started, I asked everyone to write a persuasive piece on a health-related topic of their choice. This time they found the exercise much more interesting. For the next two assignments, a personal-narrative unit followed by a creative-writing workshop, I only required that the piece meet the specifications of its genre (体裁) and that it contain a thesis.The results were staggering. The students took on diverse topics and turned in stories, 10 to20 pages each, with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart.
I walked into class believing that writing is important as a means of communication. However, my students demonstrated something more important to me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbook full of messages about writing’s most powerful significance — the ability to connect people, to put us in another’s skin, to teach us what it means to be human.
4. Who are the people mentioned at the beginning of paragraph 1?
A. Ninth graders. B. Students’ parents.
C. Modern writers. D. Fictional characters.
5. What did the author realize about the students’ first essay?
A. The topic failed to arouse their interest.
B. The students lacked basic writing skills.
C. The time given for the essay was too short.
D. The students didn’t know how to write a thesis.
6. What does the underlined word“staggering” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Controversial. B. Remarkable.
C. Time-consuming. D. Upsetting.
7. What does the author’s experience show?
A. Teaching is learning. B. Still waters run deep.
C. Knowledge is power. D. Practice makes perfect.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【导语】主要讲述一位九年级写作老师调整写作教学命题与要求,发现创作真谛,也在教学中获得新感悟的经历。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In my ninth-grade writing class last year, I met a cowboy who saved his town, a strict father who demanded his son earn straight A’s, and a modern-day Juliet who died of heartbreak after her parents rejected the love of her young life.(去年在九年级写作课上,我见到拯救小镇的牛仔、要求儿子门门拿优的严父,还有因父母反对恋情心碎离世的现代朱丽叶。)”可知,这些人物都是学生创作出来的虚构角色。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Then I realized that the problem was the question itself. They could have written pages on the necessity of computers, but writing, in and of itself, simply didn’t strike them as important.(后来我意识到问题出在题目本身,他们能就电脑的必要性写很多内容,却不认为写作本身有多重要。)”可知,首个作文话题无法引起学生的兴趣。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The students took on diverse topics and turned in stories, 10 to 20 pages each, with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart. (学生们选题多样,每人写出十到二十页的故事,塑造的人物开阔了我的眼界并触动了我的内心。)”可知,改换写作任务后学生交出的作品质量很高、成果令人惊喜,因此,画线单词staggering含义与“显著的、了不起的”相近。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第四段中的“I walked into class believing that writing is important as a means of communication. However, my students demonstrated something more important to me.(我起初认为写作重在交流,而学生却让我领悟到写作更深远的意义。)”可知,老师在教学过程中也收获成长感悟,体现教学相长的道理。

Elon Musk has offered a prize of $100m for the best carbon capture proposal. I can save his committee a lot of time. The money should go to Peter Wohlleben, whose book The Hidden Life of Trees was the most valuable book of 2015 that everyone should read to understand trees and our planet better. Wohlleben’s idea is this: do nothing about trees. Stop fiddling (干预) with them, thinking that we can deal with climate change better than nature. If we fiddle, our Romes will burn.
The Hidden Life of Trees argued that trees are social. It shows that they can be our saviors. But it’s terribly hard to let ourselves be saved. We think we can be the authors of our salvation (拯救). Of course, there are things we could and should be doing, but in terms of forestry practice, often what’s billed as part of the solution is part of the problem.
Anyone who has planted a tree in their garden knows that it has a far-reaching effect — it makes your garden cooler in summer and warmer in winter. As a species, we have survived many climatic changes by changing our behavior — and that’s how trees survive, too. Trees learn from their past harms and produce younger ones programmed with those lessons. They regulate their growth by changing the rate at which they drip-feed (滴喂) younger trees with sugar solution through root networks.
Deciduous (落叶的) forests in particular remove greenhouse gases effectively as long as they live. Cut them down and burn them and you’re releasing carbon dioxide not just from the wood, but also from the forest floor. Deciduous trees are not “harvest-ready” at 200 years: they are teenagers. We must question comforting expressions such as “renewable energy” and learn the real cost of our toilet paper.
If we don’t learn to do nothing about trees, they will eventually be alone anyway — but without us. Wohlleben brilliantly and readably shows us how urgent and how hard it is to do nothing.
8. What does Wohlleben suggest for carbon capture?
A. Fight climate change. B. Leave trees alone.
C. Save the earth. D. Change forestry species.
9. How do trees survive the climatic change?
A. They adjust their growth. B. They lose all their leaves.
C. They stop absorbing water. D. They get help from humans.
10. Why does the author mention “toilet paper” in paragraph 4?
A. To show trees are used to make daily necessities.
B. To encourage people to use renewable energy.
C. To remind people of the real cost of cutting trees.
D. To explain how forests remove greenhouse gases.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To recommend a book.
B. To clarify a proposal for a reward.
C. To illustrate the carbon capture system.
D. To give an account of the survival of trees.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. A
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第一段“Wohlleben’s idea is this: do nothing about trees. Stop fiddling with them (Wohlleben的观点是:对树木顺其自然,不要去干预它们)” 可知,他建议不要打扰树木、任其自然生长。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第三段“As a species, we have survived many climatic changes by changing our behavior — and that’s how trees survive, too.(作为一个物种,我们之所以能在众多气候变化中存活下来,是因为我们改变了自身的行为方式——而树木也是如此,它们也是通过改变自身的行为来生存的)”和“They regulate their growth by changing the rate at which they drip-feed younger trees with sugar solution through root networks.(它们通过根系网络调节向幼苗输送糖分营养液的速率,以此调控自身生长节奏。)” 可知,树木通过调节自身生长来应对气候变化。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第四段“We must question comforting expressions such as “renewable energy” and learn the real cost of our toilet paper.(我们要反思所谓可再生能源的说法,认清我们使用卫生纸背后砍伐树木的真实代价。)”可知,作者提及卫生纸,是为提醒人们砍伐树木背后的真实环境成本。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The money should go to Peter Wohlleben, whose book The Hidden Life of Trees was the most valuable book of 2015 that everyone should read to understand trees and our planet better.(这笔奖金理应颁给Peter Wohlleben。他所著的《树的隐秘生命》是2015年最具价值的佳作,每个人都应该读一读,从而更好地了解树木与我们的地球。)”及全文内容可知,文章介绍了该书籍的观点、树木特性与环保启示,核心是向读者推荐这本有价值的书。

Beneath the Pacific lies the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), where tens of billions of polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) are packed with cobalt (钴). Seabed-mining companies promote them as “a battery in a rock” and “the easiest way to solve climate change.” They claim that those nodules can provide metals for 4.8 billion electric vehicles.
Yet this promise threatens a biological treasure. Marine (海洋的) biologists reveal the CCZ shelters over 5,000 unique species in the darkness. The extensive mining of cobalt may lead to the loss of biodiversity. A company claimed to have found a solution to minimize the damage to the ecology and has already trialed a 25-ton collector robot designed to harvest these nodules. However, a 2023 study shows it can cause permanent destruction in the area.
Commercial mining is not yet permitted in international waters. The International Seabed Authority (ISA) is still determining how, and under what conditions, mining should be allowed. After 28 years of debate, its 168 member states still lack formal agreement. While companies advocate using nodule-collecting robots, 437 scientists from 44 countries demand an immediate stop.ISA studies confirm that just 10% mining of the CCZ may wipe out 50% of its species.
Nor is it certain that cobalt mining will even be all that important in car-battery technology. Many battery companies are trying to recycle cobalt from spent batteries. In March, several major European carmakers jointly stated that they would not buy any metals produced from deep-sea mining before the environmental risks are “completely understood”. Meanwhile, several Chinese electric vehicle producers have already made the switch, recycling up to 95% of metals from used batteries. “Why rush to mine the ocean for metals becoming outdated?” said battery expert Gavin Harper.
On June 8, 21 marine scientists from 8 universities finished a six-week research in the CCZ and packed up seafloor samples to take back to their labs for further analysis. “An assessment of the mining’s impact will take years of research,” says Andrew from Edinburgh. “I’m trying to get the best environmental data. And then it’s up to society to make the decision to go ahead.”
12. Why are the nodules called “a battery in a rock”?
A. They contain valuable metals.
B. They have recharging qualities.
C. They own battery-like structures.
D. They generate renewable power.
13. What can be inferred about the ISA?
A. It prioritizes economic interests.
B. It is guarded about seabed mining.
C. It opposes commercial operations.
D. It requires more technical support.
14. What does the author want to illustrate in Paragraph 4?
A. Deep-sea mining meets demands.
B. Carmakers reuse battery materials.
C. Battery recycling needs promoting.
D. Seabed mining for cobalt can wait.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Marine Mining, a Green Solution
B. Cobalt, the Future of Batteries
C. Ocean Metals, an Ocean Risk?
D. CCZ, the Treasure Unknown?
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Beneath the Pacific lies the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), where tens of billions of polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) are packed with cobalt (钴). Seabed-mining companies promote them as “a battery in a rock” and “the easiest way to solve climate change.” They claim that those nodules can provide metals for 4.8 billion electric vehicles.(太平洋底部坐落着克拉里昂-克利珀顿断裂带,那里蕴藏着数百亿颗富含钴的多金属结核。海底采矿公司将它们宣传为“岩石中的电池”和“解决气候变化的最简单方法”。他们声称,这些结核可以为48亿辆电动汽车提供金属。)”可知,这些结核被称为“岩石中的电池”是因为它们含有有价值的金属。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“The International Seabed Authority (ISA) is still determining how, and under what conditions, mining should be allowed. After 28 years of debate, its 168 member states still lack formal agreement.(国际海底管理局(ISA)仍在确定如何以及在什么条件下允许采矿。经过28年的辩论,其168个成员国仍未达成正式协议。)”可知,关于采矿,ISA仍未达成正式协议,由此可推断,它对海底采矿持谨慎态度。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Nor is it certain that cobalt mining will even be all that important in car-battery technology. Many battery companies are trying to recycle cobalt from spent batteries. In March, several major European carmakers jointly stated that they would not buy any metals produced from deep-sea mining before the environmental risks are “completely understood”. Meanwhile, several Chinese electric vehicle producers have already made the switch, recycling up to 95% of metals from used batteries. (钴开采在汽车电池技术中是否真的那么重要也不确定。许多电池公司正试图从废旧电池中回收钴。今年3月,几家欧洲主要汽车制造商联合声明,在“完全了解”环境风险之前,他们不会购买任何深海采矿生产的金属。与此同时,几家中国电动汽车生产商已经做出了改变,从废旧电池中回收了高达95%的金属。)”可知,作者想在第四段说明的是深海钴开采可以等待。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中“Beneath the Pacific lies the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), where tens of billions of polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) are packed with cobalt (钴). (太平洋底部坐落着克拉里昂-克利珀顿断裂带,那里蕴藏着数百亿颗富含钴的多金属结核。)”以及第二段中“Yet this promise threatens a biological treasure. Marine (海洋的) biologists reveal the CCZ shelters over 5,000 unique species in the darkness. The extensive mining of cobalt may lead to the loss of biodiversity.(然而,这一承诺威胁着生物宝藏。海洋生物学家揭示,CCZ在黑暗中庇护着5000多种独特的物种。钴的广泛开采可能导致生物多样性的丧失。)”以及最后一段中““An assessment of the mining’s impact will take years of research,” says Andrew from Edinburgh. “I’m trying to get the best environmental data. And then it’s up to society to make the decision to go ahead.”(“评估采矿的影响需要多年的研究,”爱丁堡的安德鲁说。“我正在努力获取最好的环境数据。然后由社会来决定是否继续进行。”)”可知,文章主要讨论了多金属结核开采的利弊及争议,由此可知,C选项“Ocean Metals, an Ocean Risk?(海洋金属,海洋风险?)”最符合文章主旨。故选C。

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。
We all seek fulfilling relationships and true happiness, often looking outward for what can only be found within. We are repeatedly told that we must love ourselves first. ____16____Yet, despite this widespread advice, many still struggle to truly love themselves.
A primary reason lies in our upbringing, which often praises selflessness above all else. ____17____This constant messaging can create guilt, making us believe that attending to our own needs is fundamentally wrong. However, emphasizing yourself is not an act of selfishness.True self-love is not selfish; it provides the clarity to distinguish which sacrifices are meaningful and which are merely draining.
To fully understand self-love, we must explore its core components. It begins with self-acceptance, which means embracing your whole self— both your strengths and your weaknesses. ____18____They are essential to your unique identity.
Furthermore, self-love involves practicing self-compassion. Forgive yourself for mistakes and speak to yourself with the same kindness you would offer a dear friend.
____19____While we are taught to care for everyone around us, we must remember the importance of caring for ourselves. Remember, you cannot pour from an empty cup;nurturing (滋养) yourself is what gives you the sustained capacity to nurture others.
In relationships, self-love allows you to set clear boundaries and avoid unhealthy dynamics. It is the very foundation upon which a genuine relationship is built. ____20____It is about building a solid inner foundation that enables you to engage with the world and others from a place of wholeness and strength.
A. Equally important is self-care.
B. Self-care helps reduce daily stress.
C. At its core, self-love isn't about being selfish.
D. This self-love is the foundation of a happy life.
E. They are a part of you and make you who you are.
F. We are often called selfish when we think of ourselves.
G. However, over-focusing on your own needs can harm mutual trust.

【导语】文章介绍了自爱是健康关系的根基,分析了人们难自爱的原因,阐述其核心要素,强调自爱对人际关系及滋养他人的重要性。
【16题详解】
由上文“We are repeatedly told that we must love ourselves first.(我们总是被告知,必须先爱自己。)”和下文“Yet, despite this widespread advice, many still struggle to truly love themselves.(然而,尽管这个建议很普遍,很多人仍难以真正做到自爱。)”可知,空格处需承接“必须先爱自己”的观点,说明其常见性。D项“This self-love is the foundation of a happy life.(自爱是幸福生活的基础。)”符合语境,进一步强化“自爱”的普遍认知,为下文“仍难以做到”的转折做铺垫,承上启下。
【17题详解】
由上文“A primary reason lies in our upbringing, which often praises selflessness above all else.(一个主要原因在于我们的成长环境,它往往把无私看得高于一切。)”和下文“This constant messaging can create guilt, making us believe that attending to our own needs is fundamentally wrong.(这种持续的信息灌输会让人产生愧疚感,让我们认为关注自身需求从根本上是错误的。)”可知,空格处需说明“成长环境”如何让人们对“关注自身”产生负面认知。F项“We are often called selfish when we think of ourselves.(当我们为自己考虑时,常常会被指责自私。)”符合语境,“called selfish”承接上文“praises selflessness”,解释了“关注自身需求会产生愧疚感”的原因,与下文“constant messaging”呼应,逻辑连贯。
【18题详解】
由上文“It begins with self-acceptance, which means embracing your whole self—— both your strengths and your weaknesses.(自爱的起点是自我接纳,这意味着接纳完整的自己——包括优点和缺点。)”和下文“They are essential to your unique identity.(它们对你独特的自我认同至关重要。)”可知,空格处需说明“优点和缺点”与“自我”的关系。E项“They are a part of you and make you who you are.(它们是你的一部分,造就了现在的你。)”符合语境,“They”指代上文的“strengths and weaknesses”,“a part of you”承接“embracing your whole self”,为下文“对自我认同至关重要”做铺垫,衔接自然。
【19题详解】
由下文“While we are taught to care for everyone around us, we must remember the importance of caring for ourselves. Remember, you cannot pour from an empty cup; nurturing(滋养) yourself is what gives you the sustained capacity to nurture others.(虽然我们被教导要关心身边的每一个人,但必须记住关心自己也很重要。要知道,空杯无法倒水;滋养自己,才能拥有持续滋养他人的能力。)”可知,本段围绕“关心自己(自我关怀)”展开,空格处需作为主题句点明核心。A项“Equally important is self-care.(自我关怀也同样重要。)”符合语境,“self-care”呼应下文“caring for ourselves”和“nurturing yourself”,“Equally important”承接前文“self-acceptance”和“self-compassion”,说明其是自爱的重要组成部分,准确作为段落主题。
【20题详解】
由上文“In relationships, self-love allows you to set clear boundaries and avoid unhealthy dynamics.(在人际关系中,自爱能让你设立清晰的边界,避免不健康的互动模式。)”和下文“It is about building a solid inner foundation that enables you to engage with the world and others from a place of wholeness and strength.(这是关于构建坚实的内在根基——有了这一根基,你才能以完整且强大的状态与世界、与他人建立联结。)”可知,空格处需说明“自爱”对“人际关系”的核心作用。C项“At its core, self-love isn't about being selfish.(从本质上来说,自爱并不等同于自私)”符合语境,逻辑清晰。

【解析】
【导语】主要介绍京剧大师梅兰芳1930年赴美演出的深远意义,讲述其艺术创新、跨文化传播成就、国际交友经历,以及为京剧走向世界和后世艺术树立典范的价值。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:纵观历史,很少有时刻能像1930年梅兰芳用京剧表演迷住美国观众的那六个月一样,让美中两国关系变得更为亲近。此处表示从过去持续到现在的影响,用现在完成时,主语few moments为复数,所以谓语动词为have brought。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:梅兰芳赴美之行恰逢许多美国人对中国存有误解的时期。此处引导定语从句,先行词为time表时间,从句缺少时间状语,所以用关系副词when引导。
【38题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:他此行着重强调的一部分内容,是对中国人民和中国文化予以尊重的必要性。此处引导宾语从句,从句中缺少宾语,指代事物内容,所以用连接代词what。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:他对角色类型的演绎方式也极具创新性,突破了以往时代的严格局限。此处表示超出、突破范围,用介词beyond。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这些方式对于让京剧成为一种国际观众易于理解且富有吸引力的艺术形式至关重要。form为可数名词单数,此处表示泛指,accessible发音以元音音素开头,所以用不定冠词an修饰。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:尽管存在语言障碍,他凭借服饰、身段与舞蹈足以获得国际认可。固定结构be skilled enough to do sth.,意为“足够有能力做某事”,所以用动词不定式to gain。
【42题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:访美期间,他与西方同代名流结下深厚友谊,默片演员查理·卓别林便是其中之一。contemporary为可数名词,此处表示多位同时代人物,需用复数形式contemporaries。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:通过与这些极具影响力的人物交往,梅兰芳提升了京剧在美国观众心中的地位。此处修饰名词personalities,需用形容词作定语,influence的形容词形式为influential意为“有影响力的”。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:从美国人的评论中可以看出,他们对他深感感动与敬重,并逐渐认识到文化交流的深远意义。此处与respectful并列作表语,形容人的感受,用形容词touched意为“受感动的”。
【45题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:梅兰芳开创性的演出不仅将京剧推向国际舞台,还树立了艺术典范,被当代从业者高度推崇。此处陈述客观事实用一般现在时;主语that指代standard,与hold之间为被动关系,所以用一般现在时的被动语态,且主语为第三人称单数,所以谓语动词为is held。

第二节 (满分25分)
57. 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。
The car turned onto the familiar road that led to Grandma’s farm. “Jude, this summer holiday will be a great chance for you to stay with your grandma,” Dad said as he drove.
The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing,” Grandma nodded.
I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market.
Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer.
However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.”
I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the 20th century.
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。
Maybe I could be someone who was really competent.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. “I can definitely help with that! It was a piece of cake to me.” Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts. I carefully connected everything. After a few adjustments, the Internet was up and running. “Done!” I announced confidently. Now it was time to sell the roses. I decided to start from my social media platform. I quickly uploaded photos, added descriptions, and set prices. Soon, people were noticing. My abilities made a difference!
Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. “This is amazing, Jude!” Grandma cheered joyfully as she packed flowers. Mr. Jackson smiled warmly and handed me another bunch to label. The energy was electric — everyone moved quickly to keep up with orders. The farm felt alive, and so did I. Surprisingly, the roses sold out in half a day. “You’ve brought the farm into the twenty-first century,” Grandma hugged me tightly. I realized competence wasn’t avoiding mistakes, but facing them and making the most of my strengths.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Jude因为去年夏天忘记锁门,导致邻居Mr. Jackson的玫瑰损失惨重,内心一直充满愧疚。今年夏天回到奶奶的农场时,他原本以为会受到Mr. Jackson的责备,但没想到Mr. Jackson不仅没有批评他,反而鼓励他,并请求他帮忙解决网上卖玫瑰的技术问题。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“或许我真的能成为一个有真才实学的人。”可知,第一段可描写作者决定帮助奶奶和杰克逊先生建立网络连接并在社交媒体上销售玫瑰的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“几小时内,玫瑰的订单如潮水般涌来。”可知,第二段可描写订单涌来后大家的忙碌以及作者对能力的重新认识。
2.续写线索:帮助建立网络连接——上传照片并设置价格——订单涌来——大家忙碌——玫瑰售罄——奶奶拥抱并夸奖——重新认识能力
3.词汇激活
行为类
①宣布:announce/declare
②上传照片:upload photos/post pictures
③售罄:sell out/be completely sold
情绪类
①令人惊讶地:surprisingly/amazingly
②高兴地:joyfully/rejoicingly
【点睛】[高分句型1] Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts. (运用了现在分词Following作状语、where引导非限制性定语从句和过去分词surrounded作状语)
[高分句型2] I realized competence wasn’t avoiding mistakes, but facing them and making the most of my strengths.(运用了省略了that的宾语从句,动名词短语作表语)
