Japanese architect Kiyoaki Takeda reimagines urban living: human habitation and nature co-exist. From green rooftops to wilding existing structures, his designs cultivate biodiversity, reconnect communities to local ecosystems, and transform concrete landscapes into lively living environments. The unique vision for city life is rooted in a memory. “The place where I was born and raised was surrounded by forest and was home to a diverse range of living creatures,” Takeda recalls. “But now…the forest has disappeared.”
In the Tsuruoka House in Tokyo, the concrete structure appears like ancient ruins, being overgrown with plants. At the roof is a planter deep enough to grow trees alongside groundcover plants. The building’s special structure allows rainwater to flow naturally downward, watering the plants throughout the building. He envisioned a small “forest” growing over the house, where the plants, birds, and insects will replace the mass of the construction.
Another example is the Soil Nihonbashi hotel, completed in 2025. The 14-room hotel has potted plants decorating the public spaces, inside the guestrooms and in balconies. Here, greenery is a device that not only helps colour the greyness of an urban environment, but also a tool for emotional connection. Takeda asked local residents to donate potted plants and help design the hotel’s exterior (外观), aiming to create a sense of building the hotel together.
These gestures are simple yet meaningful. As Takeda puts it, “Architecture needs to be designed from the perspective of resources. We need to know which forest the building materials come from and what kinds of creatures live in that forest. We need to design a rich environment for both the creatures and city people.”
4. What inspired Takeda to develop his design style?
A. His gardening passion.
B. His love for modern city life.
C. His childhood forest memory.
D. His study of local communities.
5. What is a key feature of the Tsuruoka House?
A. It was built in ancient ruins.
B. It provides habitats for nature.
C. It is covered with precious plants.
D. It collects rainwater for daily use.
6. Why did Takeda ask locals to donate plants?
A. To build community bonds.
B. To decorate the guest rooms.
C. To diversify the public spaces.
D. To cut down construction costs.
7. What is the core of Takeda’s design?
A. Balancing humans and nature.
B. Focusing on emotional connection.
C. Using natural materials to build architecture.
D. Raising awareness of environmental pollution.
C
A long-term research, known as the ACTIVE study beginning in the 1990s with 2,802 older adults concluded that a little brain training today may help stave off dementia (痴呆) for at least 20 years. After following the adults for two decades, researchers found that those completing about ten sessions of a brain exercise — called cognitive speed training, were 25% less likely to develop dementia.
The speed-training exercise has users watch a computer screen. At some point, a car or a truck flashes in the center and a road sign shows up on the edge. The challenge is to pick out the correct vehicle sign, and remember where the road sign has appeared. The game “Double Decision” asks users to focus on one of two center targets as well as one on the edge. As the game progresses, the vehicles become harder to tell apart, and signs on the edge increase too.
It shows that the people who did this speed training that also boosts memory and reasoning were less likely to be diagnosed (诊断) with dementia. Researchers believe this is because it inspires something called implicit learning, which involves acquiring unconscious or automatic skills. That also indicates a modest amount of training has a measurable impact decades later. As Neuroscientist Henry Mahncke compares it to learning to ride a bike, “You can learn to ride a bike in about 10 hours of training,” he says. “Even without practice for 20 years, you still have ‘a bike-riding brain’.”
8. What does the underlined phrase “stave off” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Predict. B. Cure. C. Identify. D. Delay.
9. What were participants required to do in the “Double Decision” game?
A. Identify objects quickly. B. Find mistakes on the signs.
C. Judge whether the vehicle breaks traffic rules. D. Count how many signs showing in the progress.
10. Why does Mahncke mention learning to ride a bike?
A. To demonstrate bike-riding’s memory benefits. B. To illustrate speed training’s long-term effects.
C. To explain the possible risks of implicit learning. D. To compare mental learning to physical training.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Brain Health: The Role of Daily Exercises. B. ACTIVE Study: Uncovering Dementia Risks.
C. Implicit Learning: Training Brain in Games. D. Speed Training: A Defense against Dementia.
D
There is no question that Generative Al will automate a large number of jobs, removing people from the workplace. But it will almost certainly take away human warmth from social life. Over the past 15 years, face-to-face socialization has already declined dramatically. Over time, many people may develop deep relationships with chatbots (聊天机器人). This seems likely to change our society at least as much as the social-media era has, and may start a new digital age that is even more anti-social.
Chatbots claim to know everything, yet they are also humble, treating the user as supreme. Anyone who has spent much time with chatbots will recognize that they tend to be pleasing. They seldom disagree or criticize. Chatbots built for commercial purposes are not typically intended to challenge your thoughts; they are intended to receive them, offer agreeable responses, and keep you coming back.
But in human relationship, conflict is unavoidable. It can be uncomfortable. Yet conflict can be meaningful — as a check on selfish behavior or over self-regard; as a chance to look more closely at other people; as a way to better understand the weaknesses and fears we all share. But chatbots will never tell you it’s bored or tell you to stop being so stupid and self-righteous. They never feel bored, complain or ask for help. They offer false friendship while helping people avoid real communication.
Therefore, the more time children spend with chatbots, the fewer opportunities they’ll have to develop alongside other people — and, as opposed to all the digital distractions (数字干扰设备) that have existed for decades, they may be fooled by the technology into thinking that they are, in fact, having a social experience. When kids project onto a bot and “talk” with it, they are fed information and affirmed (认可) by chatbots, thus missing out on something crucial in the process. They may never learn how to fail, or how to be creative. The whole learning process goes out of the window.
12. Why does the author say the new digital age is anti-social?
A. Because chatbots refuse to communicate.
B. Because people lack normal interpersonal interactions.
C. Because chatbots reject showing human warmth.
D. Because people will hate making friends on social media.
13. What do we know about commercial chatbots?
A. They prioritize satisfying users.
B. They push independent thinking.
C. They value users’ true feelings.
D. They encourage original ideas.
14. What is the main harm for children using chatbots according to the author?
A. They are hardly satisfied.
B. They are deeply addicted.
C. They are overly informed.
D. They are socially misled.
15. Which of the following may the author agree with?
A. We should embrace chatbots.
B. Say no to digital distractions.
C. A real-world friend matters.
D. Don’t ask a chatbot to help.

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。
Sports Help Build a Healthier and Longer Life
Building new skills and challenging your brain are generally good for healthy aging. ____16____ When you decide to get moving, keep these tips for a long life in mind.
Make it social. For decades, social interaction has been tied to better health and a longer life. Find ways to be active with other people, like joining a run club, signing up for a group fitness class or trying a new sport through your local recreation center or park’s department. ____17____
Keep challenging yourself. Sports are mentally challenging too because they’re dynamic and goal-driven. But you can bring that mindset to any form of exercise. First, add some senses of freshness: a new route, a different gym routine or an unusual playing environment. Second, set clear, short-term goals that push you forward. ____18____
____19____ Common exercises like running and cycling are great ways to stay active, said Steven Moore, a metabolic epidemiologist at the National Cancer Institute. But pair them with upper-body work, including resistance training, so that you’re getting a full-body workout and building muscle.
Aim for consistency. The benefits of exercise only stick if you keep doing it as you get older, said Dr. I-Min Lee, an epidemiologist at the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health. While tennis is sometimes called a “lifetime sport,” you don’t need to stick with one activity forever. ____20____ Ultimately, any and all physical activity improves long life. “Find something that works for you,” Dr. Lee said. “The bottom line is to move more.”
A. Exercise your whole body.
B. Try some stronger exercise.
C. So it’s worth finding a sport you enjoy.
D. This social element also helps with motivation and sense of responsibility.
E. It’s proved that brain training like reading or chess slows down aging effectively.
F. For example, you may gradually increase your walking time or add up the weight you lift.
G. Mixing things up keeps exercise fresh and easier to sustain, especially as your body changes.

Your ____28____ can put a smile on people’s faces, the people who are really ____29____.” He has had this ____30____ since he immigrated (移民) from Turkey in 2000 and first opened Dino’s Wood Burning Pizza in 2007.
That same heart goes into his ____31____. Each early morning, he fires up his handmade oven (烤炉) with wood to bake famous thin-crust pizzas, with sauces made ____32____ daily.
While there has always been comfort in delicious food, it is the ____33____ of those who create that food — giving to others, providing care and ____34____ concern — that can make a business feel truly special. Dino Ari embodies all these and is making a ____35____ in every way he can.

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 name is Ava. Not just Ava — Ava J. There’s another Ava in my class, Ava Z. I’m the tallest kid in third grade. Ava Z. comes up to Ms. Wu’s waist. She wears sneakers the size of my big toe. Mine are bigger than her shoebox. That’s who we are — Big Ava and Little Ava.
This week, Ms. Wu announced our class play Clever Jack. When she was about to draw names for the speaking roles, I crossed my fingers tightly — I wanted to be the fairy. Mom had made me a fairy costume two years ago. That was a sparkly blue dress with shiny wings, and it still fit. Ms. Wu started. Samir would be Jack. Polly the princess. “The fairy will be Ava.” My heart jumped. “I mean Ava Z.,” Ms. Wu continued. My heart sank. She pulled one more name and looked at me. “Ava J. will be the giant.” I lowered my head. “We’ll have our first rehearsal (排练) tomorrow,” Ms. Wu added before the bell rang.
At break, girls crowded around Little Ava. “What’s your fairy costume like?” “You’re so tiny — perfect for a fairy!” Little Ava smiled, and said thank you. But her eyes didn’t quite meet theirs.
As the girls went back to their seats, Little Ava walked over. “I noticed your disappointment. You don’t want to be the giant, do you?” I didn’t answer. “I don’t want to be the fairy, either,” she murmured. Maybe she felt the same way I did — that we were chosen not because of who we were, but how we looked. We were silent, and then I offered, “Too bad we can’t trade.” “Maybe we can.” She leaned closer. “Remember when Ms. Wu let Oliver and Tommy switch their parts last time? Maybe we can ask her to let us switch, too.” I thought about my fairy costume. “But we’d have to tell her why. Really why.”
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。
As soon as the last bell rang, we went to Ms. Wu’s office.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the rehearsal, I put on the fairy dress and walked onstage.

Japanese architect Kiyoaki Takeda reimagines urban living: human habitation and nature co-exist. From green rooftops to wilding existing structures, his designs cultivate biodiversity, reconnect communities to local ecosystems, and transform concrete landscapes into lively living environments. The unique vision for city life is rooted in a memory. “The place where I was born and raised was surrounded by forest and was home to a diverse range of living creatures,” Takeda recalls. “But now…the forest has disappeared.”
In the Tsuruoka House in Tokyo, the concrete structure appears like ancient ruins, being overgrown with plants. At the roof is a planter deep enough to grow trees alongside groundcover plants. The building’s special structure allows rainwater to flow naturally downward, watering the plants throughout the building. He envisioned a small “forest” growing over the house, where the plants, birds, and insects will replace the mass of the construction.
Another example is the Soil Nihonbashi hotel, completed in 2025. The 14-room hotel has potted plants decorating the public spaces, inside the guestrooms and in balconies. Here, greenery is a device that not only helps colour the greyness of an urban environment, but also a tool for emotional connection. Takeda asked local residents to donate potted plants and help design the hotel’s exterior (外观), aiming to create a sense of building the hotel together.
These gestures are simple yet meaningful. As Takeda puts it, “Architecture needs to be designed from the perspective of resources. We need to know which forest the building materials come from and what kinds of creatures live in that forest. We need to design a rich environment for both the creatures and city people.”
4. What inspired Takeda to develop his design style?
A. His gardening passion.
B. His love for modern city life.
C. His childhood forest memory.
D. His study of local communities.
5. What is a key feature of the Tsuruoka House?
A. It was built in ancient ruins.
B. It provides habitats for nature.
C. It is covered with precious plants.
D. It collects rainwater for daily use.
6. Why did Takeda ask locals to donate plants?
A. To build community bonds.
B. To decorate the guest rooms.
C. To diversify the public spaces.
D. To cut down construction costs.
7. What is the core of Takeda’s design?
A. Balancing humans and nature.
B. Focusing on emotional connection.
C. Using natural materials to build architecture.
D. Raising awareness of environmental pollution.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. A
【解析】

A long-term research, known as the ACTIVE study beginning in the 1990s with 2,802 older adults concluded that a little brain training today may help stave off dementia (痴呆) for at least 20 years. After following the adults for two decades, researchers found that those completing about ten sessions of a brain exercise — called cognitive speed training, were 25% less likely to develop dementia.
The speed-training exercise has users watch a computer screen. At some point, a car or a truck flashes in the center and a road sign shows up on the edge. The challenge is to pick out the correct vehicle sign, and remember where the road sign has appeared. The game “Double Decision” asks users to focus on one of two center targets as well as one on the edge. As the game progresses, the vehicles become harder to tell apart, and signs on the edge increase too.
It shows that the people who did this speed training that also boosts memory and reasoning were less likely to be diagnosed (诊断) with dementia. Researchers believe this is because it inspires something called implicit learning, which involves acquiring unconscious or automatic skills. That also indicates a modest amount of training has a measurable impact decades later. As Neuroscientist Henry Mahncke compares it to learning to ride a bike, “You can learn to ride a bike in about 10 hours of training,” he says. “Even without practice for 20 years, you still have ‘a bike-riding brain’.”
8. What does the underlined phrase “stave off” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Predict. B. Cure. C. Identify. D. Delay.
9. What were participants required to do in the “Double Decision” game?
A. Identify objects quickly. B. Find mistakes on the signs.
C. Judge whether the vehicle breaks traffic rules. D. Count how many signs showing in the progress.
10. Why does Mahncke mention learning to ride a bike?
A. To demonstrate bike-riding’s memory benefits. B. To illustrate speed training’s long-term effects.
C. To explain the possible risks of implicit learning. D. To compare mental learning to physical training.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Brain Health: The Role of Daily Exercises. B. ACTIVE Study: Uncovering Dementia Risks.
C. Implicit Learning: Training Brain in Games. D. Speed Training: A Defense against Dementia.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】

There is no question that Generative Al will automate a large number of jobs, removing people from the workplace. But it will almost certainly take away human warmth from social life. Over the past 15 years, face-to-face socialization has already declined dramatically. Over time, many people may develop deep relationships with chatbots (聊天机器人). This seems likely to change our society at least as much as the social-media era has, and may start a new digital age that is even more anti-social.
Chatbots claim to know everything, yet they are also humble, treating the user as supreme. Anyone who has spent much time with chatbots will recognize that they tend to be pleasing. They seldom disagree or criticize. Chatbots built for commercial purposes are not typically intended to challenge your thoughts; they are intended to receive them, offer agreeable responses, and keep you coming back.
But in human relationship, conflict is unavoidable. It can be uncomfortable. Yet conflict can be meaningful — as a check on selfish behavior or over self-regard; as a chance to look more closely at other people; as a way to better understand the weaknesses and fears we all share. But chatbots will never tell you it’s bored or tell you to stop being so stupid and self-righteous. They never feel bored, complain or ask for help. They offer false friendship while helping people avoid real communication.
Therefore, the more time children spend with chatbots, the fewer opportunities they’ll have to develop alongside other people — and, as opposed to all the digital distractions (数字干扰设备) that have existed for decades, they may be fooled by the technology into thinking that they are, in fact, having a social experience. When kids project onto a bot and “talk” with it, they are fed information and affirmed (认可) by chatbots, thus missing out on something crucial in the process. They may never learn how to fail, or how to be creative. The whole learning process goes out of the window.
12. Why does the author say the new digital age is anti-social?
A. Because chatbots refuse to communicate.
B. Because people lack normal interpersonal interactions.
C. Because chatbots reject showing human warmth.
D. Because people will hate making friends on social media.
13. What do we know about commercial chatbots?
A. They prioritize satisfying users.
B. They push independent thinking.
C. They value users’ true feelings.
D. They encourage original ideas.
14. What is the main harm for children using chatbots according to the author?
A. They are hardly satisfied.
B. They are deeply addicted.
C. They are overly informed.
D. They are socially misled.
15. Which of the following may the author agree with?
A. We should embrace chatbots.
B. Say no to digital distractions.
C. A real-world friend matters.
D. Don’t ask a chatbot to help.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了生成式 AI 聊天机器人对人类社交的负面影响:聊天机器人只会提供顺从式的虚假互动,让人们逃避真实人际冲突;尤其会误导儿童,使其误以为和机器人交流就是真正的社交,严重阻碍其社交能力与心智发展。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“But it will almost certainly take away human warmth from social life. Over the past 15 years, face-to-face socialization has already declined dramatically. Over time, many people may develop deep relationships with chatbots (聊天机器人). This seems likely to change our society at least as much as the social-media era has, and may start a new digital age that is even more anti-social.( 但它几乎肯定会剥夺社交生活中的人情味。在过去 15 年里,面对面的社交活动已经大幅减少。随着时间的推移,许多人可能会与聊天机器人建立起深厚的关系。这似乎可能会像社交媒体时代一样,极大地改变我们的社会,并可能开启一个更加反社会的数字时代。)”可知,第一段明确指出,新数字时代反社交的核心原因是:面对面社交大幅减少,很多人会和聊天机器人建立深度关系,取代了正常的人与人之间的互动。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Anyone who has spent much time with chatbots will recognize that they tend to be pleasing. They seldom disagree or criticize. Chatbots built for commercial purposes are not typically intended to challenge your thoughts; they are intended to receive them, offer agreeable responses, and keep you coming back.( 任何与聊天机器人相处过一段时间的人都会发现,它们往往令人愉悦。它们很少提出异议或批评。为商业目的而构建的聊天机器人通常无意挑战你的想法;它们的目的是接收你的想法,给出令人满意的回应,并让你不断回来使用它们。)”可知,商业聊天机器人的设计目标是“不挑战你的想法,只接收你的观点、提供令人愉悦的回应、让你不断回来使用”,其核心逻辑是优先满足用户的情绪需求。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Therefore, the more time children spend with chatbots, the fewer opportunities they’ll have to develop alongside other people — and, as opposed to all the digital distractions (数字干扰设备) that have existed for decades, they may be fooled by the technology into thinking that they are, in fact, having a social experience. When kids project onto a bot and “talk” with it, they are fed information and affirmed (认可) by chatbots, thus missing out on something crucial in the process.( 因此,孩子们与聊天机器人的相处时间越长,他们就有越少的机会与他人一起成长——而且,与几十年来一直存在的各种数字干扰相比,他们可能会被这种技术所迷惑,误以为自己正在经历一种社交体验。当孩子们将自己投射到机器人身上并与其“交谈”时,他们会从聊天机器人那里获得信息并得到肯定,从而错过了这个过程中至关重要的东西。)”可推知,根据作者的观点,儿童使用聊天机器人的主要危害是他们在社交层面被误导了。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章大意以及最后一段中“When kids project onto a bot and “talk” with it, they are fed information and affirmed by chatbots, thus missing out on something crucial in the process. They may never learn how to fail, or how to be creative. The whole learning process goes out of the window.( 当孩子们将自己投射到机器人身上并与其“交谈”时,他们会从聊天机器人那里获得信息并得到肯定,从而错过了这个过程中至关重要的东西。他们可能永远学不会如何面对失败,或者如何发挥创造力。整个学习过程也会因此被抛诸脑后。)”可知,全文通过对比聊天机器人的虚假友谊与真实人际关系的价值(冲突的意义、互相理解的重要性),明确表达了对真实人际互动的肯定,因此作者会认同“现实中的朋友很重要”这一观点。故选C项。

Sports Help Build a Healthier and Longer Life
Building new skills and challenging your brain are generally good for healthy aging. ____16____ When you decide to get moving, keep these tips for a long life in mind.
Make it social. For decades, social interaction has been tied to better health and a longer life. Find ways to be active with other people, like joining a run club, signing up for a group fitness class or trying a new sport through your local recreation center or park’s department. ____17____
Keep challenging yourself. Sports are mentally challenging too because they’re dynamic and goal-driven. But you can bring that mindset to any form of exercise. First, add some senses of freshness: a new route, a different gym routine or an unusual playing environment. Second, set clear, short-term goals that push you forward. ____18____
____19____ Common exercises like running and cycling are great ways to stay active, said Steven Moore, a metabolic epidemiologist at the National Cancer Institute. But pair them with upper-body work, including resistance training, so that you’re getting a full-body workout and building muscle.
Aim for consistency. The benefits of exercise only stick if you keep doing it as you get older, said Dr. I-Min Lee, an epidemiologist at the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health. While tennis is sometimes called a “lifetime sport,” you don’t need to stick with one activity forever. ____20____ Ultimately, any and all physical activity improves long life. “Find something that works for you,” Dr. Lee said. “The bottom line is to move more.”
A. Exercise your whole body.
B. Try some stronger exercise.
C. So it’s worth finding a sport you enjoy.
D. This social element also helps with motivation and sense of responsibility.
E. It’s proved that brain training like reading or chess slows down aging effectively.
F. For example, you may gradually increase your walking time or add up the weight you lift.
G. Mixing things up keeps exercise fresh and easier to sustain, especially as your body changes.
【答案】16. E 17. D 18. F 19. A 20. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了运动助力健康长寿的四条实用建议:增加社交属性、不断挑战自我、进行全身锻炼、保持运动连贯性。
【16题详解】
上文“Building new skills and challenging your brain are generally good for healthy aging.(培养新技能并挑战大脑通常对健康老龄化有益。)”总起指出“培养新技能、挑战大脑有益健康老龄化”,下文“When you decide to get moving, keep these tips for a long life in mind.(当你决定开始运动时,请牢记这些有助于长寿的小贴士。)”自然过渡到“运动”这一具体方式。E选项“It’s proved that brain training like reading or chess slows down aging effectively.(实验证明,像阅读或国际象棋这样的大脑训练能够有效延缓衰老。)”举例证明大脑训练(阅读、下棋)确实能延缓衰老,完美承接前文的核心观点,为后文引出运动的好处做了铺垫。故选E项。
【17题详解】
本段主旨是“Make it social.(让运动更具社交性。)”,前文“Find ways to be active with other people, like joining a run club, signing up for a group fitness class or trying a new sport through your local recreation center or park’s department.(寻找与他人一起活动的方式,比如加入跑步俱乐部、报名参加团体健身课程或者通过当地娱乐中心或公园部门尝试一项新的运动。)”列举了加入跑步俱乐部、参加团体课等具体方式。D 选项“This social element also helps with motivation and sense of responsibility.(这种社交元素也有助于激发动力和责任感。)”中的This social element“这种社交元素”精准指代前文内容,进一步说明社交对运动动力和责任感的促进作用,是对本段主旨的自然延伸。故选D项。
【18题详解】
本段主旨是“Keep challenging yourself.(不断挑战自我。)”,前文“Second, set clear, short-term goals that push you forward.(其次,设定清晰、短期的目标,推动你前进。)”提出了“设定清晰的短期目标”这一具体方法。F选项“For example, you may gradually increase your walking time or add up the weight you lift.(例如,你可以逐渐增加步行时间或者增加所举重物的重量。)”用“逐步增加步行时间、增加举重重量”的例子,直观地解释了如何设定并实现短期目标,与前文逻辑紧密衔接。故选F项。
【19题详解】
空格是本段的小标题,需要概括全段核心内容。后文“Common exercises like running and cycling are great ways to stay active, said Steven Moore, a metabolic epidemiologist at the National Cancer Institute. But pair them with upper-body work, including resistance training, so that you’re getting a full-body workout and building muscle.(像跑步和骑自行车这样的常见运动是保持活跃的绝佳方式,美国国家癌症研究所的代谢流行病学家史蒂文·摩尔说道。但将它们与上半身锻炼相结合,包括阻力训练,这样你就能进行全身锻炼并增强肌肉。)”明确指出“跑步、骑车等运动很好,但要搭配上肢训练和抗阻训练,实现全身锻炼”。A选项“Exercise your whole body.(锻炼你的全身。)”精准概括了本段主旨。故选A项。
【20题详解】
本段主旨是“Aim for consistency.(保持连贯性)。”,前文“While tennis is sometimes called a “lifetime sport,” you don’t need to stick with one activity forever.(虽然网球有时被称为“终身运动”,但你并不需要永远只从事这一项运动。)”提到“不必永远只坚持一种运动”。G 选项“Mixing things up keeps exercise fresh and easier to sustain, especially as your body changes.(变换运动方式能让锻炼保持新鲜感,也更容易坚持下去,尤其是在你的身体发生变化的情况下。)”中的Mixing things up“多样化运动”正好对应前文的“don’t need to stick with one activity forever”,并解释了多样化运动的好处 —— 保持新鲜感、更容易长期坚持,逻辑完全通顺。故选G项。

Dear Chris,
Glad to hear you’re participating in the World Earth Day poster contest!
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】Possible Version 1
Dear Chris,
Glad to hear you’re participating in the World Earth Day poster contest! Between the two versions, I highly recommend the first one, “There is no Planet B.”
I prefer this design for two main reasons. Visually, the poster features a crying and sweating Earth, with factory chimneys emitting toxic smoke on its top. It vividly highlights the severe environmental crises we are facing, such as global warming and air pollution. More importantly, the slogan itself is brilliant. By cleverly playing on the phrase “Plan B”, it sends a powerful warning to the public: our planet is irreplaceable, and we have no backup home to escape to. Therefore, we must stop the destruction before it’s too late.
I believe this thought-provoking poster will surely leave a lasting impression on the judges. Best of luck!
Yours,
Li Hua
Possible Version 2
Dear Chris,
Glad to hear you’re participating in the World Earth Day poster contest! Both versions are fantastic, but I favor the second one, “OUR ACTIONS, OUR FUTURE.”
What makes this poster stand out is the perfect combination of its image and slogan. In terms of the image, it presents a hopeful scene where a pair of hands gently holds the Earth. On top of the globe, leafy trees and a bright sun vividly symbolize a green, sustainable future. Moreover, the slogan perfectly matches the drawing. Written entirely in bold capitals, the words create a strong impact, conveying a highly positive message that the destiny of our planet literally lies in our own hands.
I’m sure this inspiring design will shine in the contest and motivate more people to take concrete eco-friendly actions. Good luck!
Yours,
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 name is Ava. Not just Ava — Ava J. There’s another Ava in my class, Ava Z. I’m the tallest kid in third grade. Ava Z. comes up to Ms. Wu’s waist. She wears sneakers the size of my big toe. Mine are bigger than her shoebox. That’s who we are — Big Ava and Little Ava.
This week, Ms. Wu announced our class play Clever Jack. When she was about to draw names for the speaking roles, I crossed my fingers tightly — I wanted to be the fairy. Mom had made me a fairy costume two years ago. That was a sparkly blue dress with shiny wings, and it still fit. Ms. Wu started. Samir would be Jack. Polly the princess. “The fairy will be Ava.” My heart jumped. “I mean Ava Z.,” Ms. Wu continued. My heart sank. She pulled one more name and looked at me. “Ava J. will be the giant.” I lowered my head. “We’ll have our first rehearsal (排练) tomorrow,” Ms. Wu added before the bell rang.
At break, girls crowded around Little Ava. “What’s your fairy costume like?” “You’re so tiny — perfect for a fairy!” Little Ava smiled, and said thank you. But her eyes didn’t quite meet theirs.
As the girls went back to their seats, Little Ava walked over. “I noticed your disappointment. You don’t want to be the giant, do you?” I didn’t answer. “I don’t want to be the fairy, either,” she murmured. Maybe she felt the same way I did — that we were chosen not because of who we were, but how we looked. We were silent, and then I offered, “Too bad we can’t trade.” “Maybe we can.” She leaned closer. “Remember when Ms. Wu let Oliver and Tommy switch their parts last time? Maybe we can ask her to let us switch, too.” I thought about my fairy costume. “But we’d have to tell her why. Really why.”
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。
As soon as the last bell rang, we went to Ms. Wu’s office.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the rehearsal, I put on the fairy dress and walked onstage.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】A Possible Version
As soon as the last bell rang, we went to Ms. Wu’s office. Little Ava gave me a small nod and turned to Ms. Wu. “Um… Ms. Wu?” she began softly, “we were wondering if we could possibly switch parts.” Ms. Wu raised an eyebrow in surprise. “The giant and the fairy? That’s unusual.” Taking a deep breath, I explained, “I’ve wanted to be the fairy for two years. I know it’s just a play, but... it matters to me.” Nodding eagerly, Little Ava added, “And I’ve spent my whole life being little. For once, I want to be something else.” For a long moment, Ms. Wu studied us, a faint smile lifting the corner of her mouth. “Let’s see how it goes at rehearsal.”
At the rehearsal, I put on the fairy dress and walked onstage. Mom’s dress sparkled. The wings glowed. For once, I did too. Samir stared. “You look amazing!” Little Ava marched beside me in giant boots, her tiny face peeking out from under a foam helmet. She tripped on purpose like a clumsy giant and the whole class burst out laughing. When the rehearsal ended, Ms. Wu asked the class, “How about Ava J. as the fairy, Ava Z. as the giant?” “Yeah!” everyone cheered. “They were great!” Little Ava grinned at me. I grinned back. For the first time, being Big Ava didn’t feel so big. And Little Ava didn’t look so little. Maybe we were exactly the size we needed to be.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了两个名字相同但体型差异很大的女孩Ava J.和Ava Z.在学校班级戏剧《聪明的杰克》中,原本分别被分配到巨人和仙女的角色,但两人都不满意自己的角色,最终通过沟通说服老师交换角色的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“铃声一响,我们就去了吴老师的办公室。”可知,第一段可描写两人向老师提出交换角色的请求,并解释原因。
②由第二段首句内容“排练时,我穿上仙女裙走上舞台。”可知,第二段可描写两人排练时的表现以及最终得到大家认可的情景。
2.续写线索:提出请求——解释原因——老师同意——排练表现——得到认可——感悟
3. 词汇激活
行为类
①点头示意:give me a small nod/nod slightly
②解释说明:explain/clarify
③突然大笑:burst out laughing/burst into laughter
④绊倒:trip/stumble

【高分句型2】When the rehearsal ended, Ms. Wu asked the class, “How about Ava J. as the fairy, Ava Z. as the giant?”(运用了when引导的时间状语从句)
