A
Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)
Chris Burden’s Urban Light, a piece made up of 202 cast-iron street lamps gathered from around L.A. and restored to working order, quickly became one of the city’s landmarks. But if you only come here for pictures, you will fail to appreciate the museum’s full charm. LACMA’s collections feature modernist masterpieces, large-scale contemporary works (including Richard Serra’s massive swirling(旋转) sculpture, Josiah McElheny’s Island Universe, and Burden’s another work called Metropolis Ⅱ), traditional Japanese screens and some of L.A.’s most consistently fantastic special exhibitions.
However, the eastern half of LACMA’s campus is mostly closed as it wraps up a massive redesign called the David Geffen Galleries, due to open to the public in April 2026 (you can already see the massive concrete structure, which crosses over the top of Wilshire Boulevard, from the outside). But you’ll still find about a half-dozen special exhibitions and a bright presentation of the modern collection located in the existing Resnick Pavilion and BCAM.
What’s On
California-based Chinese artist Zheng Chongbin explores the Golden State through video installations and paintings; graphic designer Beeple’s Diffuse Control lets visitors collaborate with AI on a video-based sculpture; and Tavares Strachan’s first museum exhibition in L.A. is a collection of multisensory installations.
Address
5905 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90036

It begins with a steady buzz, echoing through the towering forests of Alaska. It’s a signal, but not one to be alarmed by. It’s less “Duck and cover,” more “Come and get it!”
So you step outside your house, where there are few roads and fewer neighbors, and see it. A single-engine plane flies low, just a few dozen feet above the ground. The plane’s door whips open, and a black package is thrown out, plummeting(速降) to earth with a yellow tail hanging behind.
Congratulations, you’ve just been turkey bombed!
The “bomb” is a 15-pound frozen turkey stuffed into a trash bag, tied with yellow caution tape for easy visibility. Since 2021, Alaska native Esther Keim has been dropping them from the air to remote Alaskans who might otherwise be eating squirrel, moose or Spam for Thanksgiving dinner.
Thanksgiving falls at a tricky time of the year in this part of the country. It’s a time when rivers, which often serve as highways in Alaska’s remote areas, are too frozen for boats to travel but not frozen enough for cars. Their only option for reaching “civilization” is seven hours on a snowmobile. Or, if you’re a pilot like Keim, you can take to the air.
Keim began her turkey-bombing flights after visiting her family in Skwentna, an isolated village. A neighbor mentioned how a squirrel he hunted barely fed his family of four. This reminded Keim of her childhood, when a family friend would drop a turkey — and sometimes a box of candy inside the package just for her — from his plane to her family every year. “I am gonna drop turkeys to remote Alaskans without road access,” says Keim. “It wouldn’t be a big deal, but it’d bring me a lot of joy to bless other people like we were blessed.”
Now Keim is working to turn this personal effort into a non- profit called the Alaska Turkey Drop Project. The project has received enough donations from some individuals and local businesses, with others donating their time and goods. Every year, that noisy plane soaring through Alaska’s sky brings not just turkeys, but a heartwarming reminder of connection in the wilderness.
24.What can be learned about the “bomb”?
A.It’s a dangerous explosive. B.It’s sent to Alaskans for Christmas.
C.It’s a frozen turkey with yellow tape. D.It’s dropped from a high- flying plane.
25.Why is Thanksgiving a challenging time in remote Alaska?
A.Pilots avoid snowy flights. B.Snowmobiles are only for short trips.
C.All roads are blocked by snow. D.Half-frozen rivers are unfit for boats or cars.
26.What inspired Keim to start the “bombing” flights?
A.A demand for her nonprofit project. B.A suggestion from her family.
C.Neighbor’s hardship and childhood favor. D.Hunting squirrels with neighbors.
27.Which of the following best describes Keim?
A.Caring and independent. B.Sympathetic and innovative.
C.Decisive and tolerant. D.Adventurous and ambitious.
C
Tree-planting, intended to help draw down carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, has become a synonym(同义词) for climate action. In our constant focus on trees, we’ve developed a fixed understanding: Trees absorb carbon dioxide, end of story. The reality is that trees don’t grow well alone. They exist within complex communities, helped along by each other as well as the animals they coexist with. The woodland isn’t nature’s only carbon sink: Grasslands and oceans also help reduce the carbon level and rely on a healthy amount of biodiversity.
That’s what the paper, published in Nature, wants to get across. Co-author Oswald J. Schmitz, a professor of ecology at Yale University, said trees might not be able to do their carbon-uptake job efficiently without the right animals in their ecosystem. That’s because animals animate the carbon cycle through their behavior and roles in the ecosystem. He added that the very presence of wild animals could cause feedback effects that change the ecosystem’s capacity to absorb, release, or transport carbon.
In Serengeti, for instance, the sharp decline in wildebeest(角马) populations during the mid-20th century allowed grass to grow wildly, eventually promoting wildfires that consumed 80 percent of the ecosystem annually and led to a net release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. When disease management and bans on illegal hunting helped animal populations recover, a greater share of the carbon stored in plants was consumed by wildebeest and released as waste, keeping it in the system and restoring the grassland as a carbon sink.
Researchers rarely consider wildlife conservation as a strategy to increase an ecosystem’s carbon storage capacity, said Schmitz. “They think that animals either aren’t important enough or that you can’t take up carbon and conserve animals at the same time,” he said. “Our message is that you can and should. It can be a win-win for both biodiversity conservation and carbon uptake.” We need a full picture — with both trees and animals — to explore nature’s full potential.
28.What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A.Actions are needed to reduce carbon dioxide
B.Trees are a quick solution to the climate crisis.
C.Grasslands and oceans help maintain biodiversity.
D.People are not thinking through trees properly.
29.What does the underlined word “animate” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Restart. B.Activate. C.Disturb. D.Break.
30.What does the author want to say by mentioning wildebeest?
A.Animals can swing the ecosystem’s capacity to store carbon.
B.The conservation of animals is still a serious issue.
C.Human impacts bring about the reduction in wildlife populations.
D.The increase in animal species causes a decrease in carbon uptake.
31.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.Animals Adjust Themselves to Climate Change
B.Woodland Isn’t the Only Carbon Sink on the Earth
C.Trees May Fail to Fulfil Their Duties without Animals
D.The Serengeti Ecosystem Needs Urgent Improvement
D
Swindale Beck meanders(蜿蜒) through fields, farmland and valleys. However, not long ago, the river took a far more straight course.
A healthy river should be winding, free flowing and filled with wildlife. The ideal river is “very dynamic, messy and chaotic”, says Glen Swainson, a manager of RSPB. In Britain, however, 97% of rivers are broken up by artificial barriers. And for centuries rivers have been slowly artificially straightened to stop water from flooding and spilling onto farmland and houses.
But removing a river’s natural meanders has, in fact, achieved the opposite effect. Instead, it has disrupted the flow of rivers and destroyed water habitats, water quality and heightened flood risk. As the poor health of Europe’s rivers and streams continues to make news, communities are turning towards natural solutions to restore their rivers.
According to Tom Hayek, a natural flood management specialist, adding meanders into rivers has two benefits — it changes both the volume and the speed of water. Firstly, it decreases what’s known as flow conveyance. “When the length of the river is increased, you spread water over a wider area. This allows more water to sit up in the headwaters.” The second impact is on speed. Put simply, the more structure you add to the shape of a river, the slower the water will move down it. If it’s straight, water will “fly” through, says Hayek. When the flow of water is slowed, it creates deeper pools for fish to gather and rest.
With meanders added to Swindale Beck, the results were astonishing, says Annabel Rushton, a visitor experience manager. “Within three months of that river being re-wiggled, the salmon(鲑鱼) were spawning(产卵) in that one kilometre area for the first time in over150 years,” she says. Scientists have also noted an increase in fish gathering. Then, there were the knock-on effects. Water-loving plants returned, providing cover for young fish to feed and hide.
32.Why were many rivers in Britain artificially straightened in the past?
A.To increase the natural flow of rivers. B.To improve water habitats for wildlife.
C.To create barriers for flood management. D.To protect people and land from floods.
33.What problem may be caused by removing a river’s meanders?
A.Lower water levels. B.Poorer farming land.
C.Worse water quality. D.Drier wildlife habitats.
34.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A.The benefits of adding meanders. B.The impacts of straightening rivers.
C.The examples of controlling floods. D.The needs of increasing water speed.
35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Nature conservation is often a long game.
B.Species co-exist and function as a whole.
C.Eco-recovery can happen at a high speed.
D.Bio-diversity relies on human intervention.

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。
When asked for a reasoning or answer to a question, do you find yourself-needing to explain your thoughts at length, going into too much detail to ensure that your points are made? 36 .
You tend to explain something in more detail — than required and beyond what is useful.
37 For someone asking a question, an overexplained answer can be quite confusing when a direct and simple response just works. However, for the person answering, they feel worried that the “direct and simple response’’ doesn’t get across enough information.
Overexplaining may start from a young age, especially for those who grew up in a house where they felt like they weren’t listened to or heard. 38 This fear can follow into adulthood and lead to a need to explain everything so that they’re not punished again. Overexplaining might have developed as a handling strategy and defence mechanism, making it hard to stop, especially when coupled with a fear of rejection or being abandoned.
It’s hard to stop overexplaining when it’s hardwired into your brain. The key is being aware and noticing when you’re explaining more than you should. Once you recognize it, you can try to hold back a little, It takes time to learn how to wrestle with the urge to say more. 39 .
One of the hardest things is learning to “just say no”, When you’re asked to do something you don’t really want to do, it can be difficult not to explain in detail. 40 In truth, the overexplanation is more to ease your sense of guilt. However, you don’t owe anyone an explanation in a decline. It’s perfectly okay to simply say, “No, but thank you for the offer.”
A.In this case you are overexplaining.
B.But it gets easier with more practice.
C.You feel sorry for what you have explained.
D.Overexplaining upsets both ends of the conversation.
E.They were worried about the environment they grew up in.
F.Maybe they even got punished without a chance to explain.
G.By overexplaining, you intend to save the other person’s feelings.

Last spring, I was waiting to hear from my editors about my second novel. I was so 41 that I couldn’t sleep or focus, 42 my phone for emails one hundred times an hour.
Then I saw an ad for a community 43 class. Not being able to write for weeks, I was 44 for something to take my mind off my worries. So I signed up for it.
At the first class, the teacher asked us to draw a sunflower. I was 45 confused by all the shapes and angles and 46 to begin. I asked the teacher where I should start — whether with the 47 part or the most complicated. She smiled. “There’s no right way. Just start.” I realized how much I’d been trapped by 48 , always wanting to be right.
I began to 49 every detail of the flower as my pencil moved across the paper. After two hours flew by, my phone 50 , I completed a drawing, simple and even 51 in parts. Bad as it was, it gave me the best feeling. I had entered what psychologists call a flow state(心流状态): an experience where time 52 , attention deepens, and anxiety gives way to 53 .
I kept going back to the class. I drew not to be good, but to 54 — to find focus and feel creative. As my drawings grew more alive, I understood there is no good art without bad art, and my 55 is no different.

A Latin translation of The Tao Te Ching, 56 (forget) in the British Library for more than 300 years, has recently been rediscovered and published through the efforts of Misha Tadd, a scholar at Nankai University.
Tadd says, “Compared with The Analects of Confucius, which 57 (root) in the traditions and rules of the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC), The Tao Te Ching does not involve specific names, places, 58 social systems.” This quality allows it to go beyond cultural boundaries and speak directly to universal human concerns.
Tadd’s connection with The Tao Te Ching began at the age of 14, when he came 59 an English edition in a small-town library in the United States. That chance encounter sparked 60 one-of-a-kind interest in Chinese culture.
Years later, while 61 (study) a Latin translation of The Republic by Plato, Tadd wondered if The Tao Te Ching could also be translated into Latin. His search eventually led him to the British Library, 62 he discovered a Latin manuscript of the text, translated by early missionaries. He discovered parts of the manuscript were worn and 63 (complete), and it was not until 2022 that he obtained a full digital scan of the work. He spent a long time transcribing, comparing, and annotating the text word by word. “It requires long-term 64 (patient),” Tadd says.
The thought system of The Tao Te Ching is grounded in China, but its interpretation and influence are now 65 (true) global.

阅读下面的材料,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。
When Mum told me to stay with Grandpa for a couple of hours, I was extremely unwilling deep down. “He doesn’t like me,” I said. “Oh, of course he likes you. He’s just sad since Grandma passed away,” Mum replied. We drove straight to Grandpa’s in an uncomfortable silence.
After dropping me off at Grandpa’s apartment, Mum headed to her appointment, promising to come to pick me up soon. Spotting me, Grandpa motioned for me to sit. We glanced up at each other now and then but didn’t say anything. “Want to watch television?” he asked. I nodded. But nothing was on. Two minutes later, he turned the TV off. We sat there, Grandpa patting his legs restlessly, and me trying to find a comfortable position on his old, soft couch.
Suddenly, I felt something hard on the floor beneath the couch. I reached down and pulled it out. It was a wooden box with fancy designs carved into the sides. “Chess?” I said, surprised. “Yeah, I used to play. Do you play?” Grandpa asked. “Never,” I answered. Grandpa fell quiet for a moment, staring at the window and still tapping his legs. Then he suggested that since we had time, he could teach me how to play. I agreed casually.
Grandpa opened the box, a smell of wood polish rising from inside. He taught me about all the pieces and showed me how they moved: the king could move one square in any direction, and the game was won by trapping him; pawns(兵) moved straight forward; knights(马) moved in an L-shape and could leap over other pieces... I was amazed at how patient he was.
We practiced a bunch of times. He just corrected me and had me try again. Finally, when he was satisfied that I knew what to do with all the pieces, he said we were ready to play for real.

Our Eco-Friendly Handicraft:From Waste to Wonder
Good morning,everyone!On behalf of my group,I'm delighted to introduce our eco-friendly
work -a decorative lamp made of used plastic bottles and waste paper.
We cut the bottles into flower-like shapes,painted them in natural colors,and combined them
into a lamp.It is light,colorful and practical,and it can make a room look warm and beautiful.More
importantly,it shows that recycled materials can still be useful in our daily life.
Through this activity,we realize the value of creativity and teamwork.We also learn that
protecting the environment starts with small things.Let's live a greener life from now on.That's all.
Thank you for your listening!(112 words)

Par agraph 1:Our first game began ad I played with full attention.I carefully moved each piece
according to what Grandpa had taught me.My mind was fully focused on the chessboard,trying to
anticipate Grandpa's next move.Every time I made a move,I would hold my breath,waiting for
Grandpa's reaction.Sometimes I made a good move and Grandpa would nod slightly in approval,
which made me more confident.But when I made a mistake,Grandpa would gently point it out and
explain how to correct it.The game went on intensely,and I felt like I was in a real battlefield
(92words)
Par agraph 2:We were really enjoying ourselves when Mim returned Mum was surprised to see us
playing chess together so happily."I didn't expect you two to get along so well,"she said with a
smile.Grandpa looked up at Mum and said,"Your child is very smart and learns fast."I blushed at
Grandpa's praise.Then,Mum joined us for a while,watching our game.After the game was over,I
helped Grandpa put the chess pieces back into the box.As we left Grandpa's apartment,I found that
I was actually a little reluctant to go,looking forward to the next time I could play chess with
Grandpa.(100 words)

M:I want to get a job at a big company,because to become an accountant,experience is much
more important than a degree.
Text 10
M:Now,I'll tell you briefly about some of the attractions in the places well be staying,as I said,
we'll be taking the train to St.Andrews.One thing that's definitely worth visiting there is the place
where the original town was constructed nearly 1,000 years ago.There's not much of the original
buildings left,but there's still plenty to see.Our next overnight stop will be in the village of Cluny.
There is a museum indicating the significance of sheep in the area over the centuries.The wool used
to be sold for cloth and it brought richness to the district.From there,we'll leave for Pennerley.
Pennerley is well known for its museum of village life,but it's being repaired at the moment.
However,there's an open-air farmer's market every day,selling fruits and vegetables all grown with
a few miles of the town and sold by the farmers themselves.It's definitely worth a visit In Farlow,
which is one of the oldest towns in the region,there's a museum that shows how horses used to be
the most universal way of traveling around,and how they were gradually replaced with steam and
later,of course,electric trains,buses,and cars.保密★启用前

Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)
Chris Burden's Urban Light,a piece made up of 202 cast-iron street lamps gathered from around L.A.
and restored to working order,quickly became one of the city's landmarks.But if you only come here for
pictures,you will fail to appreciate the museum's full charm.LACMA's collections feature modernist
masterpieces,large-scale contemporary works(including Richard Serra's massive swirling()sculpture,
Josiah McElheny's Island Universe,and Burden's another work called Metropolis ID),traditional Japanese
screens and some of L.A.'s most consistently fantastic special exhibitions.
However,the eastern half of LACMA's campus is mostly closed as it wraps up a massive redesign
called the David Geffen Galleries,due to open to the public in April 2026(you can already see the massive
concrete structure,which crosses over the top of Wilshire Boulevard,from the outside).But you'll still find
about a half-dozen special exhibitions and a bright presentation of the modern collection located in the
existing Resnick Pavilion and BCAM.
What's On
California-based Chinese artist Zheng Chongbin explores the Golden State through video installations
and paintings;graphic designer Beeple's Diffuse Control lets visitors collaborate with AI on a video-based
sculpture;and Tavares Strachan's first museum exhibition in L.A.is a collection of multisensory
installations.

It begins with a steady buzz,echoing through the towering forests of Alaska.It's a signal,but not one
to be alarmed by.t's less“Duck and cover,,”more“Come and get it!'
So you step outside your house,where there are few roads and fewer neighbors,and see it.A
single-engine plane flies low,just a few dozen feet above the ground.The plane's door whips open,and a
black package is thrown out,plummeting()to earth with a yellow tail hanging behind.
Congratulations,you've just been turkey bombed!
The "bomb"is a 15-pound frozen turkey stuffed into a trash bag,tied with yellow caution tape for
easy visibility.Since 2021,Alaska native Esther Keim has been dropping them from the air to remote
Alaskans who might otherwise be eating squirrel,moose or Spam for Thanksgiving dinner.
Thanksgiving falls at a tricky time of the year in this part of the country.It's a time when rivers,which
often serve as highways in Alaska's remote areas,are too frozen for boats to travel but not frozen enough
for cars.Their only option for reaching"civilization"is seven hours on a snowmobile.Or,if you're a pilot
like Keim,you can take to the air.
Keim began her turkey-bombing flights after visiting her family in Skwentna,an isolated village.A
neighbor mentioned how a squirrel he hunted barely fed his family of four.This reminded Keim of her
childhood,when a family friend would drop a turkey-and sometimes a box of candy inside the package
just for her-from his plane to her family every year."I am gonna drop turkeys to remote Alaskans
without road access,"says Keim."It wouldn't be a big deal,but it'd bring me a lot of joy to bless other
people like we were blessed."
Now Keim is working to turn this personal effort into a non-profit called the Alaska Turkey Drop
Project.The project has received enough donations from some individuals and local businesses,with others
donating their time and goods.Every year,that noisy plane soaring through Alaska's sky brings not just
turkeys,but a heartwarming reminder of connection in the wilderness.

Tree-planting,intended to help draw down carbon dioxide from the atmosphere,has become a
synonym()for climate action.In our constant focus on trees,we've developed a fixed understanding:
Trees absorb carbon dioxide,end of story.The reality is that trees don't grow well alone.They exist within
complex communities,helped along by each other as well as the animals they coexist with.The woodland
isn't nature's only carbon sink:Grasslands and oceans also help reduce the carbon level and rely on a
healthy amount of biodiversity.
That's what the paper,published in Nature,wants to get across.Co-author Oswald J.Schmitz,a
professor of ecology at Yale University,said trees might not be able to do their carbon-uptake job
efficiently without the right animals in their ecosystem.That's because animals animate the carbon cycle
through their behavior and roles in the ecosystem.He added that the very presence of wild animals could
cause feedback effects that change the ecosystem's capacity to absorb,release,or transport carbon.
In Serengeti,for instance,the sharp decline in wildebeest()populations during the mid-20th
century allowed grass to grow wildly,eventually promoting wildfires that consumed 80 percent of the
ecosystem annually and led to a net release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.When disease
management and bans on illegal hunting helped animal populations recover,a greater share of the carbon
stored in plants was consumed by wildebeest and released as waste,keeping it in the system and restoring
the grassland as a carbon sink.
Researchers rarely consider wildlife conservation as a strategy to increase an ecosystem's carbon
storage capacity,said Schmitz."They think that animals either aren't important enough or that you can't
take up carbon and conserve animals at the same time,"he said."Our message is that you can and should.It
can be a win-win for both biodiversity conservation and carbon uptake."We need a full picture -with
both trees and animals -to explore nature's full potential.

29.What does the underlined word"animate"in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Restart.
B.Activate.
C.Disturb.
D.Break.
30.What does the author want to say by mentioning wildebeest?

Swindale Beck meanders()through fields,farmland and valleys.However,not long ago,the river
took a far more straight course
A healthy river should be winding,free flowing and filled with wildlife.The ideal river is "very
dynamic,messy and chaotic",says Glen Swainson,a manager of RSPB.In Britain,however,97%of rivers
are broken up by artificial barriers.And for centuries rivers have been slowly artificially straightened to
stop water from flooding and spilling onto farmland and houses.
But removing a river's natural meanders has,in fact,achieved the opposite effect.Instead,it has
disrupted the flow of rivers and destroyed water habitats,water quality and heightened flood risk.As the
poor health of Europe's rivers and streams continues to make news,communities are turning towards
natural solutions to restore their rivers.
According to Tom Hayek,a natural flood management specialist,adding meanders into rivers has two
benefits -it changes both the volume and the speed of water.Firstly,it decreases what's known as flow
conveyance."When the length of the river is increased,you spread water over a wider area.This allows
more water to sit up in the headwaters."The second impact is on speed.Put simply,the more structure you
add to the shape of a river,the slower the water will move down it.If it's straight,water will"fly"through,
says Hayek.When the flow of water is slowed,it creates deeper pools for fish to gather and rest.

With meanders added to Swindale Beck,the results were astonishing,says Annabel Rushton,a visitor
experience manager."Within three months of that river being re-wiggled,the salmon()were
spawning()in that one kilometre area for the first time in over150 years,"she says.Scientists have
also noted an increase in fish gathering.Then,there were the knock-on effects.Water-loving plants returned,
providing cover for young fish to feed and hide.
32.Why were many rivers in Britain artificially straightened in the past?
A.To increase the natural flow of rivers.
B.To improve water habitats for wildlife.
C.To create barriers for flood management.D.To protect people and land from floods.
33.What problem may be caused by removing a river's meanders?
A.Lower water levels.
B.Poorer farming land.
C.Worse water quality.
D.Drier wildlife habitats.
34.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A.The benefits of adding meanders.
B.The impacts of straightening rivers.
C.The examples of controlling floods.
D.The needs of increasing water speed.
35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Nature conservation is often a long game.
B.Species co-exist and function as a whole.
C.Eco-recovery can happen at a high speed.
D.Bio-diversity relies on human intervention.

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。
When asked for a reasoning or answer to a question,do you find yourself-needing to explain your
thoughts at length,going into too much detail to ensure that your points are made?36.
You tend to explain something in more detail-than required and beyond what is useful.
37 For someone asking a question,an overexplained answer can be quite confusing when a
direct and simple response just works.However,for the person answering,they feel worried that the "direct
and simple response"doesn't get across enough information.
Overexplaining may start from a young age,especially for those who grew up in a house where they
felt like they weren't listened to or heard.38 This fear can follow into adulthood and lead to a
need to explain everything so that they're not punished again.Overexplaining might have developed as a
handling strategy and defence mechanism,making it hard to stop,especially when coupled with a fear of
rejection or being abandoned.
It's hard to stop overexplaining when it's hardwired into your brain.The key is being aware and
高三英语试卷第7页(共10页)
noticing when you're explaining more than you should.Once you recognize it,you can try to hold back a
little,It takes time to learn how to wrestle with the urge to say more.39
One of the hardest things is learning to "just say no",When you're asked to do something you don't
really want to do,it can be difficult not to explain in detail.40
In truth,the overexplanation is
more to ease your sense of guilt.However,you don't owe anyone an explanation in a decline.It's perfectly
okay to simply say,"No,but thank you for the offer."
A.In this case you are overexplaining.
B.But it gets easier with more practice.
C.You feel sorry for what you have explained.
D.Overexplaining upsets both ends of the conversation.
E.They were worried about the environment they grew up in.
F.Maybe they even got punished without a chance to explain.
G.By overexplaining,you intend to save the other person's feelings.

Last spring,I was waiting to hear from my editors about my second novel.I was so 41 that I
couldn't sleep or focus,42 my phone for emails one hundred times an hour.
Then I saw an ad for a community 43 class.Not being able to write for weeks,I was 44 for
something to take my mind off my worries.So I signed up for it.
At the first class,the teacher asked us to draw a sunflower.I was 45 confused by all the shapes
and angles and 46 to begin.I asked the teacher where I should start-whether with the 47 part
or the most complicated.She smiled."There's no right way.Just start."I realized how much I'd been
trapped by 48,always wanting to be right.
I began to 49 every detail of the flower as my pencil moved across the paper.After two hours
flew by,my phone 50,I completed a drawing,simple and even 51 in parts.Bad as it was,it
gave me the best feeling.I had entered what psychologists call a flow state(心流状态):an experience
where time 52,attention deepens,and anxiety gives way to 53.
I kept going back to the class.I drew not to be good,but to 54-to find focus and feel creative.
As my drawings grew more alive,I understood there is no good art without bad art,and my 55 is no
different.

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
A Latin translation of The Tao Te Ching,56 (forget)in the British Library for more than 300
years,has recently been rediscovered and published through the efforts of Misha Tadd,a scholar at Nankai
University.
Tadd says,"Compared with The Analects of Confucius,which 57 (root)in the traditions and
rules of the Spring and Autumn Period(770-476 BC),The Tao Te Ching does not involve specific names,
places,58 social systems."This quality allows it to go beyond cultural boundaries and speak
directly to universal human concerns.
Tadd's connection with The Tao Te Ching began at the age of 14,when he came 59 an English
edition in a small-town library in the United States.That chance encounter sparked 60 one-of-a-kind
interest in Chinese culture.
Years later,while 61 (study)a Latin translation of The Republic by Plato,Tadd wondered if
The Tao Te Ching could also be translated into Latin.His search eventually led him to the British Library,
62 he discovered a Latin manuscript of the text,translated by early missionaries.He discovered parts
of the manuscript were worn and 63(complete),and it was not until 2022 that he obtained a full
digital scan of the work.He spent a long time transcribing,comparing,and annotating the text word by
word."It requires long-term 64 (patient),"Tadd says.
The thought system of The Tao Te Ching is grounded in China,but its interpretation and influence are
now 65 (true)global.

阅读下面的材料,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。
When Mum told me to stay with Grandpa for a couple of hours,I was extremely unwilling deep down.
"He doesn't like me,"I said."Oh,of course he likes you.He's just sad since Grandma passed away,"Mum
replied.We drove straight to Grandpa's in an uncomfortable silence.
After dropping me off at Grandpa's apartment,Mum headed to her appointment,promising to come to
pick me up soon.Spotting me,Grandpa motioned for me to sit.We glanced up at each other now and then
but didn't say anything."Want to watch television?"he asked.I nodded.But nothing was on.Two minutes
later,he turned the TV off.We sat there,Grandpa patting his legs restlessly,and me trying to find a
comfortable position on his old,soft couch.
Suddenly,I felt something hard on the floor beneath the couch.I reached down and pulled it out.It
was a wooden box with fancy designs carved into the sides."Chess?"I said,surprised."Yeah,I used to
play.Do you play?"Grandpa asked."Never,"I answered.Grandpa fell quiet for a moment,staring at the
window and still tapping his legs.Then he suggested that since we had time,he could teach me how to play.
I agreed casually.
Grandpa opened the box,a smell of wood polish rising from inside.He taught me about all the pieces
and showed me how they moved:the king could move one square in any direction,and the game was won
by trapping him;pawns()moved straight forward;knights()moved in an L-shape and could leap over
other pieces...I was amazed at how patient he was.
We practiced a bunch of times.He just corrected me and had me try again.Finally,when he was
satisfied that I knew what to do with all the pieces,he said we were ready to play for real.

Our Eco — Friendly Handicraft: From Waste to Wonder
Good morning, everyone! On behalf of my group, I’m delighted to introduce our eco-friendly work — a decorative lamp made of used plastic bottles and waste paper.
We cut the bottles into flower-like shapes, painted them in natural colors, and combined them into a lamp. It is light, colorful and practical,and it can make a room look warm and beautiful. More importantly, it shows that recycled materials can still be useful in our daily life.
Through this activity, we realize the value of creativity and teamwork. We also learn that protecting the environment starts with small things. Let's live a greener life from now on. That’s all. Thank you for your listening! (112 words)

One possible version
Paragraph 1: Our first game began and I played with full attention. I carefully moved each piece according to what Grandpa had taught me. My mind was fully focused on the chessboard, trying to anticipate Grandpa's next move. Every time I made a move, I would hold my breath, waiting for Grandpa's reaction. Sometimes I made a good move and Grandpa would nod slightly in approval, which made me more confident. But when I made a mistake, Grandpa would gently point it out and explain how to correct it. The game went on intensely, and I felt like I was in a real battlefield.
(92words)
Paragraph 2: We were really enjoying ourselves when Mum returned. Mum was surprised to see us playing chess together so happily. “I didn't expect you two to get along so well,” she said with a smile. Grandpa looked up at Mum and said, “Your child is very smart and learns fast.” I blushed at Grandpa's praise. Then, Mum joined us for a while, watching our game. After the game was over, I helped Grandpa put the chess pieces back into the box. As we left Grandpa's apartment, I found that I was actually a little reluctant to go, looking forward to the next time I could play chess with Grandpa. (100 words)

W: Why not call someone professional to come and have a look?
M: Right, I’ll give Mr. Jones a call right now.

M: Could I help out with the chores?
W: I’ve already finished the basic housework, such as washing and dusting, but I could use a hand with the rubbish.
M: OK. Leave it to me.

W: Hi, Sam. Our new employees start next week. Is everything ready for them?
M: Everything is going well. We will have all the computers set up this Friday. But while setting up their accounts, I realized we don’t have a picture of anyone for their access ID cards. Without them, it will be hard to enter many areas of the building.
W: I think you need to send them an e-mail asking for a digital photo of themselves. I’ll give you a list of the new employees.
M: No problem.

W: It’s great that so many young children are coming here to have their teeth checked, but we’re getting complaints from other patients about how noisy the waiting area is.
M: Right. Maybe we could repurpose the first patient room to make a separate waiting area just for children. You know, remodel the space and add some books and toys for kids.
W: That might work. I’m just not sure if we can secure enough money for remodeling. If we can, we’d need to find the right company.

W: Hi, Brian. What are you doing?
M: I'm just trying to work out how much I spend a month, and I had no idea it was that much.
W: Oh! That’s why you look so sad!
M: It’s terrible! I spend about thirty pounds a month just on books. And my rent is fifty pounds a week.
W: Yeah, rent’s a killer.
M: Then there’s food. About thirty pounds a week on that, so that’s one hundred and twenty, just to eat, every month!
W: Oh! Guess what? I heard the bus fares are going up!
M: It already costs me seven pounds a week just to get to college and back. That’s twenty-eight pounds on transport already.

W: Are you currently studying or do you work?
M: I am a student, yes, studying.
W: What do you major in and why did you choose this particular course?
M: Actually, it’s easier to find a good job if you are an accountant.
W: Mm. And what are the most challenging things about your course of study?
M: I think the most difficult thing is that there is a lot of difference in different companies. I mean, the situation is quite different. It is a big challenge because in different situations you need to use different methods to handle data and figures. Yet you need a lot of experience.
W: And what do you think you’ll do when your course finishes?
M: I want to get a job at a big company, because to become an accountant, experience is much more important than a degree.

M: Now, I’ll tell you briefly about some of the attractions in the places well be staying, as I said, we’ll be taking the train to St. Andrews. One thing that’s definitely worth visiting there is the place where the original town was constructed nearly 1,000 years ago. There’s not much of the original buildings left, but there’s still plenty to see.Our next overnight stop will be in the village of Cluny. There is a museum indicating the significance of sheep in the area over the centuries. The wool used to be sold for cloth and it brought richness to the district. From there, we’ll leave for Pennerley. Pennerley is well known for its museum of village life, but it’s being repaired at the moment. However, there’s an open-air farmer’s market every day, selling fruits and vegetables all grown with a few miles of the town and sold by the farmers themselves. It’s definitely worth a visit. In Farlow, which is one of the oldest towns in the region, there’s a museum that shows how horses used to be the most universal way of traveling around, and how they were gradually replaced with steam and later, of course, electric trains, buses, and cars.
