Tobie Spears has always had wanderlust (旅行癖). Several years ago, she hit the road again to see the world. She and her husband drove south through Mexico and into Guatemala.What greeted them was nothing short of breathtaking: verdant jungles (丛林), crystal lakes, wide rivers and native residents having lived there for thousands of years.
In a Guatemalan village, it was when Spears and her husband rented a small house that they realized the living conditions were more primitive than back home, but the simple life was appealing. Despite their cheerfulness, the local people struggled with harsh realities: not enough food to eat, poor educational opportunities, and no reliable way to build a self-sufficient life.
Spears wondered what she could do that would make a lasting change.“We didn’t want to give them a few things and leave,” she said.“We wanted to help, and they were able to manage it on their own.” So they started teaching, focusing on income opportunity. The couple taught skills like how to use a sewing machine, how to create a more productive garden, and how to charge for services and manage resources.
Their first few years centered on completing projects, although traveling four times a year made it difficult to keep the effort going. In time, the locals took to it. The vertical gardening techniques took root, which made more vegetables available. A few sewing machines arrived, and skilled seamstresses emerged. Then Spears realized she needed help.
She reached out to friends, and the joint effort was organized into a nonprofit: BeHumanitarian. With the formalization of the nonprofit, the impact outgrew even their own expectations, more sponsors and volunteers joining the initiative. A community grew up around the village in Guatemala, with people coming four times a year to support, love and discover what really matters.
“It’s the people you meet and the relationships you build that will fill your life with the feeling of genuine happiness,” said Spears.
24. What first impressed Spears and her husband upon arriving in Guatemala?
A. The residents’ rich traditional culture.
B. The gray landscape of local villages.
C. The area’s attractive natural scenery.
D. The locals’ difficult living conditions.
25. How did Spears and her husband help people in Guatemala?
A. By handing out plenty of donations.
B. By helping them sustain themselves.
C. By telling them to quit their initial work.
D. By convincing them to value education.
26. How did people react to Be Humanitarian?
A. They increased their visits. B. They were in favor of it.
C. They appeared resistant to it. D. They quitted their teaching.
27. What can be the best title for the text?
A. From a Nonprofit to a Village B. From Sightseeing to Settling Down
C. How Wander Turned Wonder D. How a Couple Developed Wanderlust
C
“We all know that when there’s an earthquake or a tsunami, the first thing that goes down is the power line. When it’s at night, we’re not going to wait until the next morning to rescue survivors.” said Nitin Sanket, assistant professor of robotics engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. “So we started looking at nature. Is there a creature in the world which can actually do this?”
Sanket and his students found their answer in bats and the winged mammal’s remarkable ability to echolocate, or find their way via reflected sound. They’re developing air robots that can be flown where and when current drones can’t operate.
Sanket’s drone fits in the palm of his hand, and is made mostly from inexpensive hobby-grade materials and can operate in the dark. A small ultrasonic (超声的) sensor, not unlike those used in automatic faucets (龙头) in public restrooms, copies bat behavior, sending out a pulse (脉冲) of high-frequency sound and using the echo to detect obstacles in its path.
During a recent demonstration, a student used a remote control to launch the drone in a brightly lit room and then again after turning off all but a faintly glowing red light. As it approached a transparent glass wall, the drone repeatedly stopped and backed away, even with the lights off and with fog and fake snow floating in the air.
Yet, the research didn’t always get along well. The researchers realized that the noise of the bat robot disturbed the ultrasound, requiring 3D-printed shells to minimize the disturbance. They also used AI to teach the drone how to filter (过滤) and interpret sound signals.
Still, there’s a long way to go to match bats, which can contract their ear muscles to listen only to certain echoes and can detect something as small as a human hair from several meters away. Sanket said, “We are nowhere close to what nature has achieved, but someday we will be there and these will be useful for application in the wild.”
28. Why did Sanket’s team study bats?
A. For their physical strength. B. For their high flight speed.
C. For their easy accessibility. D. For their navigation skills.
29. What can we learn about the drone from the demonstration?
A. It could even break through glass walls.
B. It performed well regardless of visibility.
C. It required adjustment to avoid obstacles,
D. It needed human help to detect obstacles,
30. What challenge did the researchers encounter during the research?
A. The materials were hardly accessible,
B. The sensor generated too much noise.
C. The AI system failed to process the sound signals.
D. The drone’s operational noise affected its sensor.
31. What does Sanket think of their present achievement?
A. It needs further development. B. It’s unrealistic for practical use.
C. It is ready for widespread use. D. It has already outperformed bats.
D
New research suggests that attention does not remain steady. Instead, it fluctuates (波动) in a rapid cycle, shifting focus about seven to ten times per second. This constant sampling of the environment may have helped humans survive. For our ancestors who had to continue to monitor the environment for attackers while searching for food, this was beneficial.
Ian Fiebelkorn, assistant professor of Neuroscience at the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience at the University of Rochester, said,“In today’s world, with laptops open in front of us and a smartphone nearby, rhythmically occurring windows for beneficial attentional shifts might also work against us. That is, rhythmically occurring windows for attentional shifts are also associated with increased susceptibility to distracting information.”
To investigate the subtle shifts in attention, Zach Redding, the first author of the study,recorded brain activity using an electroencephalogram (EEG). In the experiment, 40participants focused on a dim gray square positioned at the center of a computer screen. At the same time, colored dots appeared as distractions.
The EEG data revealed repeating patterns in brain activity that predicted when attention was more likely to move toward a distractor. These cycles occurred roughly seven to ten times per second. They also lined up with alternating (交替的) periods in which participants were better or worse at noticing the central target. When noticing performance dropped, participants were more easily distracted.
The findings may help researchers better understand attention-related conditions such asADHD (注意缺陷障碍). Although the study did not directly examine people with ADHD, it offers clues about how differences in these brain rhythms could influence focus and distractibility.
“Our research shows that the typical brain rhythmically alternates between states that promote either increased processing at the present focus of attention or an increased likelihood of shifting attentional resources elsewhere,” said Fiebelkorn.“It could be that the brains of people with ADHD do not alternate between these states as often, resulting in a loss of cognitive flexibility.”
32. How did attention fluctuations benefit ancient humans?
A. They helped them discover food easily.
B. They enabled them to watch for dangers.
C. They made them focus on things better.
D. They adapted them to the environment.
33. What does the underlined word “susceptibility” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Defenselessness. B. Resistance. C. Dedication. D. Adaptation.
34. What did the EEG results show?
A. Participants ignored the central target.
B. Distracting dots had no influence at all.
C. Brain waves remained unchanged steadily.
D. Distraction followed brain rhythm changes.
35. What is Fiebelkorn’s explanation about people with ADHD?
A. They have stronger cognitive flexibility.
B. They focus better than ordinary people.
C. Their brain states switch less regularly.
D. Their brain rhythms work much faster.

第二节(满分25分)
67. 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。
Last year, as my son, Leopold, and I were preparing for a ski trip to Colorado, I came up with a rule: We would say yes to everything. You see, Leopold is a picky eater — he only has chicken and yoghurt — and can be hesitant to try new things. I was hoping to find a way to encourage him without resorting to worn-out sayings like “If you don’t try it, you’ll never know if you like it.” So I borrowed the idea of a Yes Day. Before the trip, Leopold and I agreed we would say yes to everything, including food and experiences — especially new ones.
We started saying yes before we even boarded our flight, when we stopped at a breakfast buffet at the airport. For me, that meant I sampled a vegan meatball, while Leopold tried a mouse bite of hash browns (土豆煎饼). Neither of us went back for seconds, but we each rated our new foods as “not bad”.
The next day, after we got settled at our hotel, I took Leopold to meet his snowboarding instructor. My hope was that Leopold would make the most of this opportunity and eventually I learned later that Leopold kept to our bargain and faced his fear of heights to learn how to ride a chairlift. That afternoon, when Leopold and I were reunited back at the hotel, he asked if we could go in the outdoor hot tub (浴缸). Mind you, it was a 20-degree day, and the only thing I hate more than being cold is being cold and wet! When I started to hesitate, Leopold mentioned our rule.
Yes, it was cold, and yes, I was wet. But it was also refreshing to feel the cold air on my skin, and the warm water of the hot tub felt that much — better once we got in. Getting out was a different story, but the experience was a delight as Leopold and I braved it together.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Feeling so much fun, Leopold and I decided to get the rest of the family to try it.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
All in all, this journey of saying “yes” means a lot to us.

A. It helps businesses grow.
B. It reduces traffic and pollution.
C. It benefits high-income drivers.
【答案】18. A 19. B 20. B
【解析】
【原文】W: New York City’s road pricing is the first of its kind in the US. So, what is road pricing? Well, it’s a fee charged per car with the goal of discouraging driving. So as of January 5th, driving into Manhattan got even pricier. Passenger vehicles now pay $9 during peak hours and $2.25 during off-peak hours overnight to enter Manhattan each day.
Road pricing has been a debated topic concept there for decades as early as the 1950s. Those in favor of road pricing say it would reduce traffic in one of the world’s densest and busiest areas, while also reducing pollution and providing a source of income for city projects. On the other hand, critics are saying that it will direct business away from this city, and it’s an unnecessary burden on those who travel to and from work by car every day.

Tobie Spears has always had wanderlust (旅行癖). Several years ago, she hit the road again to see the world. She and her husband drove south through Mexico and into Guatemala.What greeted them was nothing short of breathtaking: verdant jungles (丛林), crystal lakes, wide rivers and native residents having lived there for thousands of years.
In a Guatemalan village, it was when Spears and her husband rented a small house that they realized the living conditions were more primitive than back home, but the simple life was appealing. Despite their cheerfulness, the local people struggled with harsh realities: not enough food to eat, poor educational opportunities, and no reliable way to build a self-sufficient life.
Spears wondered what she could do that would make a lasting change.“We didn’t want to give them a few things and leave,” she said.“We wanted to help, and they were able to manage it on their own.” So they started teaching, focusing on income opportunity. The couple taught skills like how to use a sewing machine, how to create a more productive garden, and how to charge for services and manage resources.
Their first few years centered on completing projects, although traveling four times a year made it difficult to keep the effort going. In time, the locals took to it. The vertical gardening techniques took root, which made more vegetables available. A few sewing machines arrived, and skilled seamstresses emerged. Then Spears realized she needed help.
She reached out to friends, and the joint effort was organized into a nonprofit: BeHumanitarian. With the formalization of the nonprofit, the impact outgrew even their own expectations, more sponsors and volunteers joining the initiative. A community grew up around the village in Guatemala, with people coming four times a year to support, love and discover what really matters.
“It’s the people you meet and the relationships you build that will fill your life with the feeling of genuine happiness,” said Spears.
24. What first impressed Spears and her husband upon arriving in Guatemala?
A. The residents’ rich traditional culture.
B. The gray landscape of local villages.
C. The area’s attractive natural scenery.
D. The locals’ difficult living conditions.
25. How did Spears and her husband help people in Guatemala?
A. By handing out plenty of donations.
B. By helping them sustain themselves.
C. By telling them to quit their initial work.
D. By convincing them to value education.
26. How did people react to Be Humanitarian?
A. They increased their visits. B. They were in favor of it.
C. They appeared resistant to it. D. They quitted their teaching.
27. What can be the best title for the text?
A. From a Nonprofit to a Village B. From Sightseeing to Settling Down
C. How Wander Turned Wonder D. How a Couple Developed Wanderlust
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了Tobie Spears夫妇在旅行中帮助危地马拉当地村民学习技能、实现自给自足,并最终创立非营利组织BeHumanitarian的故事。
【24题详解】

【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中““We didn’t want to give them a few things and leave,” she said.“We wanted to help, and they were able to manage it on their own.” So they started teaching, focusing on income opportunity. The couple taught skills like how to use a sewing machine, how to create a more productive garden, and how to charge for services and manage resources. (“我们不想给他们一些东西就离开,”她说。“我们想提供帮助,而他们能够自己管理。”于是,他们开始教学,重点放在创收机会上。这对夫妇传授了诸如如何使用缝纫机、如何建造更高产的花园、以及如何为服务收费和管理资源等技能。)”可知,Spears和丈夫通过帮助他们自给自足来提供帮助。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“With the formalization of the nonprofit, the impact outgrew even their own expectations, more sponsors and volunteers joining the initiative. (随着这个非营利组织的正式成立,其影响力甚至超出了他们自己的预期,更多的赞助商和志愿者加入了这项倡议)”可推知,人们支持BeHumanitarian。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了Tobie Spears夫妇在旅行中帮助危地马拉当地村民学习技能、实现自给自足,并最终创立非营利组织BeHumanitarian的故事。故C项“How Wander Turned Wonder (一场漫游,成就一份美好善举)”能概括文章内容,最适合做文章标题。
C
“We all know that when there’s an earthquake or a tsunami, the first thing that goes down is the power line. When it’s at night, we’re not going to wait until the next morning to rescue survivors.” said Nitin Sanket, assistant professor of robotics engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. “So we started looking at nature. Is there a creature in the world which can actually do this?”
Sanket and his students found their answer in bats and the winged mammal’s remarkable ability to echolocate, or find their way via reflected sound. They’re developing air robots that can be flown where and when current drones can’t operate.
Sanket’s drone fits in the palm of his hand, and is made mostly from inexpensive hobby-grade materials and can operate in the dark. A small ultrasonic (超声的) sensor, not unlike those used in automatic faucets (龙头) in public restrooms, copies bat behavior, sending out a pulse (脉冲) of high-frequency sound and using the echo to detect obstacles in its path.
During a recent demonstration, a student used a remote control to launch the drone in a brightly lit room and then again after turning off all but a faintly glowing red light. As it approached a transparent glass wall, the drone repeatedly stopped and backed away, even with the lights off and with fog and fake snow floating in the air.
Yet, the research didn’t always get along well. The researchers realized that the noise of the bat robot disturbed the ultrasound, requiring 3D-printed shells to minimize the disturbance. They also used AI to teach the drone how to filter (过滤) and interpret sound signals.
Still, there’s a long way to go to match bats, which can contract their ear muscles to listen only to certain echoes and can detect something as small as a human hair from several meters away. Sanket said, “We are nowhere close to what nature has achieved, but someday we will be there and these will be useful for application in the wild.”
28. Why did Sanket’s team study bats?
A. For their physical strength. B. For their high flight speed.
C. For their easy accessibility. D. For their navigation skills.
29. What can we learn about the drone from the demonstration?
A. It could even break through glass walls.
B. It performed well regardless of visibility.
C. It required adjustment to avoid obstacles,
D. It needed human help to detect obstacles,
30. What challenge did the researchers encounter during the research?
A. The materials were hardly accessible,
B. The sensor generated too much noise.
C. The AI system failed to process the sound signals.
D. The drone’s operational noise affected its sensor.
31. What does Sanket think of their present achievement?
A. It needs further development. B. It’s unrealistic for practical use.
C. It is ready for widespread use. D. It has already outperformed bats.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了桑凯特团队受蝙蝠启发研发可在黑暗中飞行的无人机及面临的挑战。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Sanket’s drone fits in the palm of his hand, and is made mostly from inexpensive hobby-grade materials and can operate in the dark. A small ultrasonic (超声的) sensor, not unlike those used in automatic faucets (龙头) in public restrooms, copies bat behavior, sending out a pulse (脉冲) of high-frequency sound and using the echo to detect obstacles in its path.(桑凯特的无人机可以放在他的手掌中,主要由便宜的业余级材料制成,可以在黑暗中运行。一个小型超声波传感器,与公共卫生间自动水龙头中使用的传感器类似,模仿蝙蝠的行为,发出高频声脉冲,并利用回声探测路径中的障碍物。)”可知,桑凯特的团队研究蝙蝠是为了它们的导航技能。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“During a recent demonstration, a student used a remote control to launch the drone in a brightly lit room and then again after turning off all but a faintly glowing red light. As it approached a transparent glass wall, the drone repeatedly stopped and backed away, even with the lights off and with fog and fake snow floating in the air.(在最近的一次演示中,一名学生用遥控器在一个光线明亮的房间里发射无人机,然后在关掉所有灯,只留一盏微弱的红灯后再次发射。当它接近一堵透明的玻璃墙时,无人机反复停下并后退,即使是在灯光熄灭、空气中弥漫着雾气和假雪的情况下。)”可知,从演示中我们可以了解到无人机无论能见度如何都表现良好。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Yet, the research didn’t always get along well. The researchers realized that the noise of the bat robot disturbed the ultrasound, requiring 3D-printed shells to minimize the disturbance.(然而,研究并不总是一帆风顺。研究人员意识到,蝙蝠机器人的噪音干扰了超声波,需要3D打印外壳来尽量减少干扰。)”可知,研究人员在研究过程中遇到的挑战是无人机的操作噪音影响了它的传感器。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Still, there’s a long way to go to match bats, which can contract their ear muscles to listen only to certain echoes and can detect something as small as a human hair from several meters away. Sanket said, “We are nowhere close to what nature has achieved, but someday we will be there and these will be useful for application in the wild.”(尽管如此,要赶上蝙蝠还有很长的路要走,蝙蝠可以收缩耳部肌肉,只听特定的回声,并且可以从几米外探测到像人类头发一样小的东西。桑凯特说:“我们离大自然所取得的成就还差得很远,但总有一天我们会达到那个水平,这些将对野外应用有用。”)”可知,桑凯特认为他们目前的成就需要进一步发展。
D
New research suggests that attention does not remain steady. Instead, it fluctuates (波动) in a rapid cycle, shifting focus about seven to ten times per second. This constant sampling of the environment may have helped humans survive. For our ancestors who had to continue to monitor the environment for attackers while searching for food, this was beneficial.
Ian Fiebelkorn, assistant professor of Neuroscience at the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience at the University of Rochester, said,“In today’s world, with laptops open in front of us and a smartphone nearby, rhythmically occurring windows for beneficial attentional shifts might also work against us. That is, rhythmically occurring windows for attentional shifts are also associated with increased susceptibility to distracting information.”
To investigate the subtle shifts in attention, Zach Redding, the first author of the study,recorded brain activity using an electroencephalogram (EEG). In the experiment, 40participants focused on a dim gray square positioned at the center of a computer screen. At the same time, colored dots appeared as distractions.
The EEG data revealed repeating patterns in brain activity that predicted when attention was more likely to move toward a distractor. These cycles occurred roughly seven to ten times per second. They also lined up with alternating (交替的) periods in which participants were better or worse at noticing the central target. When noticing performance dropped, participants were more easily distracted.
The findings may help researchers better understand attention-related conditions such asADHD (注意缺陷障碍). Although the study did not directly examine people with ADHD, it offers clues about how differences in these brain rhythms could influence focus and distractibility.
“Our research shows that the typical brain rhythmically alternates between states that promote either increased processing at the present focus of attention or an increased likelihood of shifting attentional resources elsewhere,” said Fiebelkorn.“It could be that the brains of people with ADHD do not alternate between these states as often, resulting in a loss of cognitive flexibility.”
32. How did attention fluctuations benefit ancient humans?
A. They helped them discover food easily.
B. They enabled them to watch for dangers.
C. They made them focus on things better.
D. They adapted them to the environment.
33. What does the underlined word “susceptibility” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Defenselessness. B. Resistance. C. Dedication. D. Adaptation.
34. What did the EEG results show?
A. Participants ignored the central target.
B. Distracting dots had no influence at all.
C. Brain waves remained unchanged steadily.
D. Distraction followed brain rhythm changes.
35. What is Fiebelkorn’s explanation about people with ADHD?
A. They have stronger cognitive flexibility.
B. They focus better than ordinary people.
C. Their brain states switch less regularly.
D. Their brain rhythms work much faster.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C

(新研究表明,注意力并非保持稳定不变。相反,它以快速的周期波动,大约每秒切换焦点七到十次。这种对环境持续采样的能力,可能有助于人类的生存。对于我们那些必须在寻找食物的同时持续监视环境中攻击者的祖先来说,这是有益的。)”可知,注意力的波动使古代人类能够警惕危险。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“In today’s world, with laptops open in front of us and a smartphone nearby, rhythmically occurring windows for beneficial attentional shifts might also work against us. (在当今世界,面前打开着笔记本电脑,身边放着智能手机,有节奏出现的有利注意力转移窗口也可能对我们不利,)”和划线词所在句“That is, rhythmically occurring windows for attentional shifts are also associated with increased susceptibility to distracting information. (也就是说,有节奏出现的注意力转移窗口也与对分心信息的susceptibility增加有关。)”可知,这种机制在现代环境中会导致人们更容易被分心信息干扰。因此,susceptibility意为“易受影响的状态”,与“Defenselessness”意思相近。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The EEG data revealed repeating patterns in brain activity that predicted when attention was more likely to move toward a distractor. These cycles occurred roughly seven to ten times per second. They also lined up with alternating (交替的) periods in which participants were better or worse at noticing the central target. When noticing performance dropped, participants were more easily distracted. (脑电图数据揭示了大脑活动中重复出现的模式,这些模式可以预测注意力何时更可能转向干扰物。这些周期大约每秒发生七到十次。它们也与参与者对中央目标的察觉能力时好时坏的交替周期相吻合。当察觉能力下降时,参与者更容易分心。)”可知,脑电图结果显示分心跟随大脑节律变化。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中Fiebelkorn的话“Our research shows that the typical brain rhythmically alternates between states that promote either increased processing at the present focus of attention or an increased likelihood of shifting attentional resources elsewhere (我们的研究表明,典型的大脑会节律性地在两种状态之间交替:一种状态促进对当前注意力焦点的加强处理,另一种状态则增加将注意力资源转移到别处的可能性)”和“It could be that the brains of people with ADHD do not alternate between these states as often, resulting in a loss of cognitive flexibility. (可能是ADHD患者的大脑没有那么频繁地在这些状态之间交替,导致认知灵活性丧失。)”可知,Fiebelkorn对ADHD患者的解释是他们的脑部状态切换不够规律。

【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意:十一月中旬,在北京的中国文化馆年会数字展厅里,一小群人围在一张发光的书桌旁。空处表示泛指,意为“一张发光的书桌”,应用不定冠词,且single的发音以辅音音素开头,应用a。
【57题详解】

【64题详解】
考查介词。句意:“在实际课堂上,30张这样的书桌同时运行,最多可容纳40名学习者同时学习,”侯霁岑补充道。根据空后的“40 learners”可知,固定短语up to符合题意,后接数字,表示“达到(某个数量)”。
【65题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:自去年启动以来,该项目已成为该中心公共夜校课程中最受欢迎的课程。空处作句子的谓语,结合“Since its launch last year”可知,时态应用现在完成时,表示过去的动作持续到现在,且主语the program是单数,助动词应用has。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 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。
Last year, as my son, Leopold, and I were preparing for a ski trip to Colorado, I came up with a rule: We would say yes to everything. You see, Leopold is a picky eater — he only has chicken and yoghurt — and can be hesitant to try new things. I was hoping to find a way to encourage him without resorting to worn-out sayings like “If you don’t try it, you’ll never know if you like it.” So I borrowed the idea of a Yes Day. Before the trip, Leopold and I agreed we would say yes to everything, including food and experiences — especially new ones.
We started saying yes before we even boarded our flight, when we stopped at a breakfast buffet at the airport. For me, that meant I sampled a vegan meatball, while Leopold tried a mouse bite of hash browns (土豆煎饼). Neither of us went back for seconds, but we each rated our new foods as “not bad”.
The next day, after we got settled at our hotel, I took Leopold to meet his snowboarding instructor. My hope was that Leopold would make the most of this opportunity and eventually I learned later that Leopold kept to our bargain and faced his fear of heights to learn how to ride a chairlift. That afternoon, when Leopold and I were reunited back at the hotel, he asked if we could go in the outdoor hot tub (浴缸). Mind you, it was a 20-degree day, and the only thing I hate more than being cold is being cold and wet! When I started to hesitate, Leopold mentioned our rule.
Yes, it was cold, and yes, I was wet. But it was also refreshing to feel the cold air on my skin, and the warm water of the hot tub felt that much — better once we got in. Getting out was a different story, but the experience was a delight as Leopold and I braved it together.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Feeling so much fun, Leopold and I decided to get the rest of the family to try it.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
All in all, this journey of saying “yes” means a lot to us.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Feeling so much fun, Leopold and I decided to get the rest of the family to try it. During our spring break trip to St. Augustine, Florida, we collectively said yes to a moonlit tour of the city’s fearing sites. While others in the group got frightened and left during the telling of frightening stories, our family stayed until the bitter end. On our summer adventures, we continued the tradition of saying yes. For me, this meant going down a scary almost 90-degree waterslide at a water park. Leopold braved the ropes course and made it all the way up to the top. You know what? It was pretty fun.
All in all, this journey of saying “yes” means a lot to us. It reminds us that true adventure lies not in how far we go, but in our willingness to open ourselves to the new and unfamiliar. Even back home, where school, work, and daily routines often limit our chances to say “yes”, we’ve learned to seek out small opportunities to embrace the unexpected — whether it’s tasting a new dish or accepting a spontaneous invitation. Just like Leopold, now willingly reaches out his fork to explore more of what the world offers. Life, it turns out, can grow broader, warmer, and full of possibility — one small “yes” at a time.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了“我”为鼓励挑食、不愿尝试新事物的儿子利奥波德,在滑雪之旅中约定“对一切说yes”,两人共同体验新事物、收获乐趣,随后带动全家延续这一传统,最终领悟生活真谛的故事。
【详解】1. 段落续写
① 由第一段首句可知,接下来可描写全家一起延续“说yes”的传统,列举不同旅程中全家尝试的新体验,体现全家共同参与的乐趣。
② 由第二段首句可知,接下来可总结“说yes”带来的感悟,点明其不仅是旅行中的传统,更延伸到日常生活,改变了“我”和儿子的心态。
2. 续写线索
母子决定带动全家尝试“说yes”——全家在不同旅程中体验新事物——感悟“说yes”的意义——将传统延伸到日常生活——领悟生活因主动尝试而更美好
3. 词类激活
行为类
①离开:leave/depart
②限制:limit/restrict
③品尝:taste/sample
情绪类
①害怕的:frightened/scared
②乐意地:willingly/readily
【点睛】【高分句型1】While others in the group got frightened and left during the telling of frightening stories, our family stayed until the bitter end.(运用了while引导时间状语从句)
【高分句型2】It reminds us that true adventure lies not in how far we go, but in our willingness to open ourselves to the new and unfamiliar. (运用了that和how引导宾语从句)
