When the bell rang for recess, children quickly poured out. However, ragged Vincent Sabella was left out. He didn’t join the boys gathering around the horizontal bar, or the ones whispering in a far corner, nor the larger group chasing in circles. Initially, he pretended to be busy with his shoelaces, bending to undo and retie them. After repeating this for five minutes, he began casting stones at an invisible target— another five minutes gone, with five still left. Then he just stood there, hands in pockets, then on hips.
Miss Price stood watching, wondering whether to intervene. Knowing the new boy was adopted from an orphanage filled her with a sense of mission. She managed to control the urge that day and every day that week. Her anxiety showed in class, though. His schoolwork errors were excused publicly, while his achievements got special mention. Her campaign to build him up was painfully obvious. For instance, she would say, “Suppose Vincent Sabella went to the store with fifteen cents. Candy bars cost five cents each. How many would he have?” He was well on the way to becoming a teacher’s pet.
On Friday, Miss Price decided to speak to him privately. But lunchtime was trying for Vincent. Unlike others who went home, he had lunch in the classroom from a wrinkled paper bag, which made for awkwardness. And her visit didn’t help. The room still half full, she sat beside him, obviously sacrificing her lunch break. Mumbling (嘟囔), he shifted his eyes to the departing children. With the door closed behind the last child, he finally gave her his full attention. The more she talked, the more he seemed to relax. She went right on, feeling it was as simple and satisfying as stroking a cat.
4. What do the three “five minutes” imply?
A. Vincent failed to integrate. B. Miss Price observed keenly.
C. Vincent followed a routine. D. Vincent’s school life was boring.
5. The underlined phrase in paragraph 2 probably refers to someone ________ by the teacher.
A. highly valued for nobility B. overly pitied for misfortune
C. deeply admired for excellence D. sharply criticized for misbehavior
6. What can we infer about the talk from paragraph 3?
A. It embarrassed Vincent. B. It finally put Vincent at ease.
C. It didn’t satisfy Miss Price. D. It was interrupted by others.
7. Which words best describe Miss Price?
A. Patient and empathetic. B. Optimistic and creative.
C. Humble and responsible. D. Caring and courageous.
C
It’s often striking to me what causes confusion among French people.
Most recently, an article in Le Monde reported younger adults are choosing to dine alone during their lunch breaks. Almost one-third of employees under 25 regularly lunch alone, according to a survey.
These statistics were shocking to me, too, but in an entirely the opposite way: so few? I forgot that when I was a waitress in Paris, I would serve groups of colleagues all the time. This culture may well be shifting, but it remains far more the norm (常态) there than in Britain.
There isn’t much that makes me proud to be British, but a widespread understanding of other people’s right to alone time is one such thing. If my colleague wants to eat alone in the canteen, I would not feel offended. Who am I to deny her that moment of peace? France, however, tells a different story. “So you don’t want to see us?” one young woman was asked when she didn’t join a team lunch. Ultimately, she was let go. She suspected it was because she rejected a social obligation. “The boss behaved like a king,” she said. “Everyone was afraid of him and laughed mechanically at his jokes.” “Come and live here!” I want to tell her — everyone understands that lunch breaks are for going off by yourself. Forced socializing isn’t how we do things.
Given the option, I’ll take solo dining. It’s one of life’s great pleasures, and that young adults are developing the confidence to do it should be celebrated. Gen Z is often criticized for being antisocial, but I expect there are other factors at play, such as a better understanding of how to look after their mental health. It should be said that cutting yourself off from other people completely is never good. A rare group meal that has been anticipated is a far greater pleasure than a regular obligation that is feared. I didn’t think the French had much to learn from us in terms of lunch, but now I’m not so sure.
8. Why does the author feel shocked at the survey statistics?
A. The low share of young French dining alone.
B. The loss of traditional dining culture.
C. The striking shift of the social norm in France.
D. The popularity of colleagues gathering.
9. What might be the British attitudes towards lunch breaks?
A. People are not easily offended. B. Eating alone is widely accepted.
C. Employees prefer canteen lunch. D. Peaceful moments are often denied.
10. By saying “Come and live here!”, the author implies .
A. the British lunch culture is more tolerant
B. her affection for the French young woman
C. her desire to escape from French lunch culture
D. her preference for solo work over teamwork
11. What is the author’s main argument in the last paragraph?
A. Complete separation from others is advisable.
B. The French should follow the British lifestyle.
C. Voluntary social interactions beat forced ones.
D. Regular group meals are also enjoyable.
D
Human-driven climate change poses one of the most urgent challenges of our time, while individuals’ decisions (e.g. how often people fly, what type of car they drive) play a substantial role in achieving net zero emissions. However, people hold widespread misperceptions regarding the effectiveness of their behaviors, affecting their commitment. Recently, a study was conducted to assess if climate action literacy (素养) interventions could influence their perceptions and willingness to act.
The study was based on 4,000 people recruited to take an online survey. A pre-test was conducted to rate their willingness to engage in the 21 carbon emission-reducing individual behaviours. Then they were randomly divided into two groups receiving climate literacy intervention. Participants in the first group were first asked to rank the effectiveness of the 21 individual behaviors, before being shown the true effectiveness ranking. The second group of participants received information about the carbon reduction potential of the same behaviors without the prediction step. During the post-test, participants in both groups, again, rated their willingness to adopt these individual behaviors. Besides, participants rated each behaviour on how easy or difficult it would be for them to engage in each item.
After the intervention, clear positive outcomes emerged for both groups: they expressed significantly greater willingness to adopt climate-friendly lifestyles. However, compared with passive exposure to information, active processing of new information contributes more to updating people’s beliefs.
The study also highlighted what really motivated people to act in their personal lives. People will engage in lifestyle changes especially because they think it’s easy to do, no matter how effective they are.
“The study is part of a broader research program investigating how scalable, low-cost interventions can affect behavior.” Vlasceanu, a professor of environmental social sciences, said. “Climate change can be solved through choices and changes involving large numbers of people. Future experiments may compare literacy-based strategies with emotional appeals or personal storytelling to determine which approaches most effectively enhance individual engagement.”
12. What does the study focus on?
A. How climate change threatens our daily life.
B. Whether individual decisions affect carbon emissions.
C. How misunderstandings of environment get corrected.
D. Whether guidance affects people’s environmental decisions.
13. What’s the process of the experiment according to paragraph 2?
A. Pre-test→Group Division→Literacy Intervention→Post-test
B. Pre-test→First Assessment→Methods Instruction→Post-test
C. Pre-test→Group Division→Instant Practice→Group Comparison
D. Pre-test→First Assessment→Instant Practice→Group Comparison
14. What can be inferred from the findings?
A. People prefer effective actions to easy ones.
B. Tough actions are less effective in cutting carbon.
C. Active engagement leads to greater belief change.
D. Behavior effectiveness is key to action willingness.
15. What is the future research mainly about according to Vlasceanu?
A. Adoption of novel research approaches.
B. Potential benefits of greater engagement.
C. Identification of top action-driving methods.
D. Practical needs of involving more participants.

At the age of 35, Professor Setiya found himself at a crossroads. He had everything he thought he wanted: a distinguished position as an MIT professor, a loving family, and financial security. ____16____ As he looked at the life he had carefully constructed, the long, predictable road ahead stretched out before him like a straight line — a never-ending series of achievements leading ultimately to retirement, decline, and death. This prospect left him feeling anxious and unfulfilled.
____17____ He stopped running and instead immersed himself in things that have no end point or completion: aimless walks, open conversations with friends, self-knowledge for interest (not achievements), and raising his children not as a “project to produce a successful human”, but as an enjoyable process. ____18____
Setiya’s story is a vivid example of how stepping away from unending pursuits can lift one out of a low point. When you are dealing with tough times, especially at midlife and against a backdrop of world instability, there emerges a powerful opportunity for deep positive change. ____19____ It can help people during this period to appreciate what’s happening right now, rather than getting caught up in worries about the future or past.
The journey leads to a process called individuation. Achieving more no longer holds the answer. ____20____. You start to find new sources of strength and renewal in unexplored places, and your past experiences become the foundation upon which you build your next steps, allowing you to grow and rise again in the second half of life.
A. He found a way out.
B. He set much clearer goals.
C. Trying harder only makes matters worse.
D. Yet he couldn’t shake off an empty feeling.
E. The combination of all that brought him relief.
F. Embracing such change helps us stay focused on the present.
G. Instead, life begins adding a qualitative dimension to the quantitative one.

Years later, I returned to the place I once ____29____. To my surprise, while I had changed, so had my hometown, with small, welcoming ____30____ everywhere: tall buildings stood towering and various shops lined the widened streets. The cornfields, once symbols of all I longed to escape, became spaces for reflection, progress, and finally ____31____. Admittedly, I feared being labeled a “failure” in city life, yet no such ____32____ came — only quiet understanding, or, ____33____, you could say.

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。
Leo had been dreaming about this night for months. Ever since he saw a poster at the local library announcing the “Great August Meteor Shower (流星雨)”, he had been fascinated. But he didn’t just want to watch the meteors; he wanted to see them through his own telescope.
In the corner of the garage, Leo worked on his project every day. It was a telescope kit he had found in his grandfather’s garage. Though old and a bit worn, it meant a lot to him. He carefully cleaned the mirrors and followed the instructions in the worn guidebook. His grandfather often sat nearby, quietly watching him. “You’re doing a great job,” Grandpa said with a smile. “A telescope helps, of course. But in the end, it’s how you look at the sky that really matters.” Leo nodded, though his attention soon returned to the small, shining pieces in his hands.
By Friday, the telescope was finally ready. Leo named it the Sky-Scanner. Though it looked a little unsteady on its wooden stand, it worked well enough. When he tested it on a distant chimney (烟囱), the image appeared clear. A wave of excitement ran through him — he was ready.
That evening, Leo set up everything in the backyard. The air was cool, and the smell of fresh grass filled the air. With a small red flashlight, he checked his star map and adjusted the telescope toward the horizon (地平线). One by one, stars began to appear in the darkening sky.
Just as he leaned forward to make a final adjustment, his foot caught on a garden water pipe. He was trapped and hit the stand. With a sharp sound, the eyepiece fell off and disappeared into the grass. Leo dropped to his knees and searched desperately, but the yard was too dark. “No,” he whispered, his voice shaking. “I’ve ruined everything.” The meteor shower was supposed to peak in thirty minutes, and without that tiny piece of glass, the stars would seem like distant, unclear dots.
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。
Just then, Grandpa came over, holding a lantern.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Moments later, Leo lay on the grass, quieter now, staring at the sky.

When the bell rang for recess, children quickly poured out. However, ragged Vincent Sabella was left out. He didn’t join the boys gathering around the horizontal bar, or the ones whispering in a far corner, nor the larger group chasing in circles. Initially, he pretended to be busy with his shoelaces, bending to undo and retie them. After repeating this for five minutes, he began casting stones at an invisible target— another five minutes gone, with five still left. Then he just stood there, hands in pockets, then on hips.
Miss Price stood watching, wondering whether to intervene. Knowing the new boy was adopted from an orphanage filled her with a sense of mission. She managed to control the urge that day and every day that week. Her anxiety showed in class, though. His schoolwork errors were excused publicly, while his achievements got special mention. Her campaign to build him up was painfully obvious. For instance, she would say, “Suppose Vincent Sabella went to the store with fifteen cents. Candy bars cost five cents each. How many would he have?” He was well on the way to becoming a teacher’s pet.
On Friday, Miss Price decided to speak to him privately. But lunchtime was trying for Vincent. Unlike others who went home, he had lunch in the classroom from a wrinkled paper bag, which made for awkwardness. And her visit didn’t help. The room still half full, she sat beside him, obviously sacrificing her lunch break. Mumbling (嘟囔), he shifted his eyes to the departing children. With the door closed behind the last child, he finally gave her his full attention. The more she talked, the more he seemed to relax. She went right on, feeling it was as simple and satisfying as stroking a cat.
4. What do the three “five minutes” imply?
A. Vincent failed to integrate. B. Miss Price observed keenly.
C. Vincent followed a routine. D. Vincent’s school life was boring.
5. The underlined phrase in paragraph 2 probably refers to someone ________ by the teacher.
A. highly valued for nobility B. overly pitied for misfortune
C. deeply admired for excellence D. sharply criticized for misbehavior
6. What can we infer about the talk from paragraph 3?
A. It embarrassed Vincent. B. It finally put Vincent at ease.
C. It didn’t satisfy Miss Price. D. It was interrupted by others.
7. Which words best describe Miss Price?
A. Patient and empathetic. B. Optimistic and creative.
C. Humble and responsible. D. Caring and courageous.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. A
【解析】

【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“He didn’t join the boys gathering around the horizontal bar, or the ones whispering in a far corner, nor the larger group chasing in circles. Initially, he pretended to be busy with his shoelaces, bending to undo and retie them. After repeating this for five minutes, he began casting stones at an invisible target— another five minutes gone, with five still left. Then he just stood there, hands in pockets, then on hips.(他没有跟围在横杆旁的男孩们一起,也没有跟在远处角落里窃窃私语的人群中,更没有跟围着圈子追逐的人群一起。起初,他假装在忙着解系鞋带,弯腰去解开又重新系好。这样重复了五分钟之后,他开始向一个看不见的目标投掷石子——又过去了五分钟,还剩下五分钟。然后他就只是站在那里,双手插在口袋里,接着又叉在腰间)”可知,这三个“五分钟”分别意味着文森特未能融入到孩子们中。故选A。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Knowing the new boy was adopted from an orphanage filled her with a sense of mission. She managed to control the urge that day and every day that week. Her anxiety showed in class, though. His schoolwork errors were excused publicly, while his achievements got special mention. Her campaign to build him up was painfully obvious.(得知这个新来的男孩是从孤儿院被领养来的,这让她心中涌起一种使命感。那几天以及那一周的每一天,她都努力克制住自己的冲动。不过,她的焦虑在课堂上还是有所体现。他的作业错误被公开原谅了,而他的成绩却得到了特别的表扬。她为提升他的自信心所采取的行动显而易见)”可知,Miss Price知道Vincent Sabella是从孤儿院被领养来之后努力帮助Vincent Sabella建立信心,对他呈现出偏爱,他正逐渐成为被老师偏爱的学生,a teacher’s pet的意思是“被老师偏爱的学生”,在文中指“因为不幸而倍受同情的人”,和overly pitied for misfortune意思相近。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The more she talked, the more he seemed to relax. She went right on, feeling it was as simple and satisfying as stroking a cat.(她越说,他似乎就越放松。她继续滔滔不绝,感觉这就像抚摸一只猫一样简单而令人满足)”可知,这次谈话让文森特放下了紧张的心情。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Knowing the new boy was adopted from an orphanage filled her with a sense of mission.(得知这个新来的男孩是从孤儿院被领养来的,这让她心中涌起一种使命感)”可知,Miss Price是有同情心的;根据最后一段“The more she talked, the more he seemed to relax. She went right on, feeling it was as simple and satisfying as stroking a cat.(她越说,他似乎就越放松。她继续滔滔不绝,感觉这就像抚摸一只猫一样简单而令人满足)”可知,她在谈话中滔滔不绝,说明她是有耐心的,因此可用patient“有耐心的”和empathetic“有同情心的”来形容Miss Price。故选A。
C
It’s often striking to me what causes confusion among French people.
Most recently, an article in Le Monde reported younger adults are choosing to dine alone during their lunch breaks. Almost one-third of employees under 25 regularly lunch alone, according to a survey.
These statistics were shocking to me, too, but in an entirely the opposite way: so few? I forgot that when I was a waitress in Paris, I would serve groups of colleagues all the time. This culture may well be shifting, but it remains far more the norm (常态) there than in Britain.
There isn’t much that makes me proud to be British, but a widespread understanding of other people’s right to alone time is one such thing. If my colleague wants to eat alone in the canteen, I would not feel offended. Who am I to deny her that moment of peace? France, however, tells a different story. “So you don’t want to see us?” one young woman was asked when she didn’t join a team lunch. Ultimately, she was let go. She suspected it was because she rejected a social obligation. “The boss behaved like a king,” she said. “Everyone was afraid of him and laughed mechanically at his jokes.” “Come and live here!” I want to tell her — everyone understands that lunch breaks are for going off by yourself. Forced socializing isn’t how we do things.
Given the option, I’ll take solo dining. It’s one of life’s great pleasures, and that young adults are developing the confidence to do it should be celebrated. Gen Z is often criticized for being antisocial, but I expect there are other factors at play, such as a better understanding of how to look after their mental health. It should be said that cutting yourself off from other people completely is never good. A rare group meal that has been anticipated is a far greater pleasure than a regular obligation that is feared. I didn’t think the French had much to learn from us in terms of lunch, but now I’m not so sure.
8. Why does the author feel shocked at the survey statistics?
A. The low share of young French dining alone.
B. The loss of traditional dining culture.
C. The striking shift of the social norm in France.
D. The popularity of colleagues gathering.
9. What might be the British attitudes towards lunch breaks?
A. People are not easily offended. B. Eating alone is widely accepted.
C. Employees prefer canteen lunch. D. Peaceful moments are often denied.
10. By saying “Come and live here!”, the author implies .
A. the British lunch culture is more tolerant
B. her affection for the French young woman
C. her desire to escape from French lunch culture
D. her preference for solo work over teamwork
11. What is the author’s main argument in the last paragraph?
A. Complete separation from others is advisable.
B. The French should follow the British lifestyle.
C. Voluntary social interactions beat forced ones.
D. Regular group meals are also enjoyable.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文作者以旅居法国的英国人视角,对比了英法两国的午餐文化,指出英国人更尊重个人独处时间,而法国职场存在强制社交现象,最终主张自愿的社交互动比被迫社交更值得提倡。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Almost one-third of employees under 25 regularly lunch alone, according to a survey.(根据一项调查,近三分之一的25岁以下员工经常独自吃午餐。)”以及第三段中的“These statistics were shocking to me, too, but in an entirely the opposite way: so few?(这些统计数据也让我感到震惊,但完全是出于相反的原因:这么少?)”可知,作者震惊的是独自用餐的年轻人比例竟然如此之低。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。 根据第四段中的“There isn’t much that makes me proud to be British, but a widespread understanding of other people’s right to alone time is one such thing. If my colleague wants to eat alone in the canteen, I would not feel offended.(没多少事能让我为自己是英国人而自豪,但对他人独处权利的普遍理解是其中之一。如果我的同事想在食堂独自吃饭,我不会感到被冒犯。)”可知,在英国,独自用餐是被广泛接受的。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“‘Come and live here!’ I want to tell her — everyone understands that lunch breaks are for going off by yourself. Forced socializing isn’t how we do things.(‘来这儿住吧!’我想告诉她——每个人都明白午休时间是用来独处的。强制社交不是我们的行事方式。)”可知,作者说这句话是在向那位法国年轻女性推介英国,暗示英国的午餐文化更加宽容、更尊重个人选择。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“A rare group meal that has been anticipated is a far greater pleasure than a regular obligation that is feared.(一顿难得的、备受期待的聚餐,远比一次令人恐惧的常规义务要快乐得多。)”可知,作者认为自愿的、期待已久的社交互动胜过被迫的、令人畏惧的社交。
D
Human-driven climate change poses one of the most urgent challenges of our time, while individuals’ decisions (e.g. how often people fly, what type of car they drive) play a substantial role in achieving net zero emissions. However, people hold widespread misperceptions regarding the effectiveness of their behaviors, affecting their commitment. Recently, a study was conducted to assess if climate action literacy (素养) interventions could influence their perceptions and willingness to act.
The study was based on 4,000 people recruited to take an online survey. A pre-test was conducted to rate their willingness to engage in the 21 carbon emission-reducing individual behaviours. Then they were randomly divided into two groups receiving climate literacy intervention. Participants in the first group were first asked to rank the effectiveness of the 21 individual behaviors, before being shown the true effectiveness ranking. The second group of participants received information about the carbon reduction potential of the same behaviors without the prediction step. During the post-test, participants in both groups, again, rated their willingness to adopt these individual behaviors. Besides, participants rated each behaviour on how easy or difficult it would be for them to engage in each item.
After the intervention, clear positive outcomes emerged for both groups: they expressed significantly greater willingness to adopt climate-friendly lifestyles. However, compared with passive exposure to information, active processing of new information contributes more to updating people’s beliefs.
The study also highlighted what really motivated people to act in their personal lives. People will engage in lifestyle changes especially because they think it’s easy to do, no matter how effective they are.
“The study is part of a broader research program investigating how scalable, low-cost interventions can affect behavior.” Vlasceanu, a professor of environmental social sciences, said. “Climate change can be solved through choices and changes involving large numbers of people. Future experiments may compare literacy-based strategies with emotional appeals or personal storytelling to determine which approaches most effectively enhance individual engagement.”
12. What does the study focus on?
A. How climate change threatens our daily life.
B. Whether individual decisions affect carbon emissions.
C. How misunderstandings of environment get corrected.
D. Whether guidance affects people’s environmental decisions.
13. What’s the process of the experiment according to paragraph 2?
A. Pre-test→Group Division→Literacy Intervention→Post-test
B. Pre-test→First Assessment→Methods Instruction→Post-test
C. Pre-test→Group Division→Instant Practice→Group Comparison
D. Pre-test→First Assessment→Instant Practice→Group Comparison
14. What can be inferred from the findings?
A. People prefer effective actions to easy ones.
B. Tough actions are less effective in cutting carbon.
C. Active engagement leads to greater belief change.
D. Behavior effectiveness is key to action willingness.
15. What is the future research mainly about according to Vlasceanu?
A. Adoption of novel research approaches.
B. Potential benefits of greater engagement.
C. Identification of top action-driving methods.
D. Practical needs of involving more participants.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了一项关于气候行动素养干预措施对人们环保行为认知与意愿影响的研究,包括研究过程、结果及未来研究方向。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Recently, a study was conducted to assess if climate action literacy (素养) interventions could influence their perceptions and willingness to act.(最近,一项研究旨在评估气候行动素养干预措施是否能影响人们的认知和行动意愿。)”可知,该研究聚焦于指导干预措施是否会影响人们的环保决策。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“A pre-test was conducted to rate their willingness to engage in the 21 carbon emission-reducing individual behaviours. Then they were randomly divided into two groups receiving climate literacy intervention.(首先进行预测试,评估参与者参与21种个人减排行为的意愿。随后随机分为两组接受气候素养干预。)”以及“During the post-test, participants in both groups, again, rated their willingness to adopt these individual behaviors.(在后测环节中,两组参与者再次对采取这些个人行为的意愿进行了评分。)”可知,实验流程为Pre-test→Group Division→Literacy Intervention→Post-test。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“However, compared with passive exposure to information, active processing of new information contributes more to updating people’s beliefs.(然而,与被动接触信息相比,主动处理新信息更有助于更新人们的认知。)”可知,主动参与会带来更大的认知改变。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Future experiments may compare literacy-based strategies with emotional appeals or personal storytelling to determine which approaches most effectively enhance individual engagement.(未来的实验可能会将基于素养的策略与情感诉求或个人叙事进行比较,以确定哪种方法最能有效提升个人参与度。)”可知,未来研究旨在找出最能推动行动的方法。

At the age of 35, Professor Setiya found himself at a crossroads. He had everything he thought he wanted: a distinguished position as an MIT professor, a loving family, and financial security. ____16____ As he looked at the life he had carefully constructed, the long, predictable road ahead stretched out before him like a straight line — a never-ending series of achievements leading ultimately to retirement, decline, and death. This prospect left him feeling anxious and unfulfilled.
____17____ He stopped running and instead immersed himself in things that have no end point or completion: aimless walks, open conversations with friends, self-knowledge for interest (not achievements), and raising his children not as a “project to produce a successful human”, but as an enjoyable process. ____18____
Setiya’s story is a vivid example of how stepping away from unending pursuits can lift one out of a low point. When you are dealing with tough times, especially at midlife and against a backdrop of world instability, there emerges a powerful opportunity for deep positive change. ____19____ It can help people during this period to appreciate what’s happening right now, rather than getting caught up in worries about the future or past.
The journey leads to a process called individuation. Achieving more no longer holds the answer. ____20____. You start to find new sources of strength and renewal in unexplored places, and your past experiences become the foundation upon which you build your next steps, allowing you to grow and rise again in the second half of life.
A. He found a way out.
B. He set much clearer goals.
C. Trying harder only makes matters worse.
D. Yet he couldn’t shake off an empty feeling.
E. The combination of all that brought him relief.
F. Embracing such change helps us stay focused on the present.
G. Instead, life begins adding a qualitative dimension to the quantitative one.
【答案】16. D 17. A 18. E 19. F 20. G

【16题详解】
由上文“He had everything he thought he wanted: a distinguished position as an MIT professor, a loving family, and financial security.(他拥有自己曾向往的一切,麻省理工学院的知名职位、和睦的家庭以及安稳的经济条件。)”和后文“As he looked at the life he had carefully constructed, the long, predictable road ahead stretched out before him like a straight line—a never-ending series of achievements leading ultimately to retirement, decline, and death. This prospect left him feeling anxious and unfulfilled.(当他审视自己精心构建的生活时,前方漫长而可预测的道路像一条直线般在他面前延伸——一系列永无止境的成就,最终导向退休、衰退和死亡。这种前景让他感到焦虑和不满足。)”可知,上下文构成转折关系,前文写教授拥有众人向往的一切,后文写他依旧内心焦虑空虚。D选项“Yet he couldn’t shake off an empty feeling.(但他始终无法摆脱内心的空虚感)”贴合上下文转折逻辑,承接前文优越的生活状态,引出后文消极的内心感受,衔接自然。
【17题详解】
由后文“He stopped running and instead immersed himself in things that have no end point or completion: aimless walks, open conversations with friends, self-knowledge for interest (not achievements),and raising his children not as a “project to produce a successful human”, but as an enjoyable process.(他不再一味奔波,转而投入到没有既定终点的事物中:漫无目的的散步、与朋友随心交谈、为乐趣而非成就探索自我认知、将养育孩子当作愉悦的过程而非打造成功人生的项目。)”可知,后文详细介绍了教授改变生活方式、摆脱困境的具体做法。A选项“He found a way out.(他找到了出路)”总领下文内容,起到承上启下的作用,符合段落语境。
【18题详解】
根据上文“He stopped running and instead immersed himself in things that have no end point or completion: aimless walks, open conversations with friends, self-knowledge for interest (not achievements), and raising his children not as a ‘project to produce a successful human’, but as an enjoyable process. (他停止了奔跑,转而沉浸于那些没有终点或完结的事情中:漫无目的的散步、与朋友开放式的交谈、出于兴趣的自我认知(而非成就),以及抚养孩子不是作为一个‘培养成功人类的项目’,而是作为一个愉快的过程。)”可知,前文详细列举了教授做出的一系列生活改变,摒弃功利化的追求,专注于生活本身的美好。此处需要填入总结这些改变带来的积极效果的句子。E选项“The combination of all that brought him relief.(种种改变结合在一起让他内心释然)”精准总结了上文一系列生活方式调整带来的积极影响,语义连贯,衔接顺畅。
【19题详解】
由上文“When you are dealing with tough times, especially at midlife and against a backdrop of world instability, there emerges a powerful opportunity for deep positive change.(当人们身处困境,尤其是中年时期、在局势动荡的大环境下,会迎来深度积极改变的契机。)”和后文“It can help people during this period to appreciate what’s happening right now, rather than getting caught up in worries about the future or past.(这能帮助人们活在当下,不再沉溺于对过往与未来的忧虑。)”可知,空格处需要衔接“积极改变”与“专注当下”的关联。F选项“Embracing such change helps us stay focused on the present.(接纳这类改变有助于我们专注当下)”完美承上启下,解释了积极改变带来的核心益处,与后文内容高度呼应。
【20题详解】
由上文“Achieving more no longer holds the answer.(一味追求更多成就不再是人生的真谛。)”可知,前文否定了功利化、量化的人生追求,空格处需要进一步阐释全新的人生价值理念。G选项“Instead,life begins adding a qualitative dimension to the quantitative one.(反之,生活开始在量化追求之上增添质的层面)”承接上文,对比阐释了人生从追求数量成就转向追求品质体验的蜕变,贴合全文主旨。

【解析】
【导语】文章介绍了青海塔拉滩光伏产业园创新地将牧羊与光伏发电相结合,解决了园区植被过度生长影响发电和安全的难题,形成了生态循环,还提高了牧民收入。
【36题详解】
考查倒装和主谓一致。句意:使这一幕显得独特的是头顶上蓝色的太阳能板海洋,因为这些羊的牧场正是一个光伏产业园。现在分词短语Making the scene unique置于句首,句子使用了完全倒装结构,增强所描述的当前场景的画面感,主语the blue sea of solar panels是单数,be动词用is。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:塔拉滩光伏产业园占地609平方公里,这里平坦的土地拥有丰富的太阳能资源,年平均日照时长接近3000小时。with an average...是固定短语,意为“平均拥有……”。
【38题详解】
考查连词。句意:园区庞大的太阳能板阵列不仅为遥远的省份发电,还为周围土地起到了遮阳和防风的作用。结合前面的“not only”可知,此处用固定结构not only... but (also)...表示“不仅……而且……”。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:随着平均风速被降低一半,该区域的植被覆盖率已增长到80%。此处用了with的复合结构,空处作宾语补足语,reduce“降低”和wind speeds逻辑上是被动关系,且表示 “正在被降低” 这一持续的状态,因此用reduce的现在分词被动式。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:生长的草会显著降低太阳能板的效率,并在干燥的冬季月份引发火灾。空处修饰动词lower,应用副词dramatically,意为“显著地”。
【41题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:生长的草会显著降低太阳能板的效率,并在干燥的冬季月份引发火灾。空处作in的宾语,结合空前的“dry winter”可知,干燥的冬季月份不止一个月,可数名词month“月份”应用复数形式。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:为了解决这个问题,园区邀请村民在太阳能板下放羊。句子已有谓语,空处是非谓语,“解决这个问题”是谓语行为的目的,因此用address的不定式形式,作目的状语,且句首单词的首字母需大写。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:此外,牧民可以卖掉一部分羊,从而获得可观的经济收益。句子主干成分完整,空处表示随着谓语行为自然发生的结果,作结果状语,应用secure“得到,获得”的现在分词形式。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:去年,有600只羊被赋予了守护园区太阳能板的任务。空处作句子的谓语,结合“Last year”可知,时态应用一般过去时,task sb./sth. with (doing) sth.是固定短语,意为“指派某人/某物做某事”,task和主语600 sheep之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,且主语是复数,be动词应用were。
【45题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:这个光伏产业园树立了一个典范,展示了工业发展、传统实践和环境保护如何携手并进。空处引导名词性从句作of的宾语,结合“work hand in hand”可知,从句表示“如何携手并进”,空处需表达“如何,怎样”,应用连接副词how作引导词。

【答案】范文:
Dear Chris,
I’m writing to share with you my experience of shooting a short video themed “Beautiful Countryside”.
Last weekend, my classmates and I went to a nearby town for a social practice assignment. We filmed the crystal-clear rivers, vast green fields, and newly-built houses. We also captured the happy smiles of the villagers, who were enjoying their modern and peaceful lives.

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。
Leo had been dreaming about this night for months. Ever since he saw a poster at the local library announcing the “Great August Meteor Shower (流星雨)”, he had been fascinated. But he didn’t just want to watch the meteors; he wanted to see them through his own telescope.
In the corner of the garage, Leo worked on his project every day. It was a telescope kit he had found in his grandfather’s garage. Though old and a bit worn, it meant a lot to him. He carefully cleaned the mirrors and followed the instructions in the worn guidebook. His grandfather often sat nearby, quietly watching him. “You’re doing a great job,” Grandpa said with a smile. “A telescope helps, of course. But in the end, it’s how you look at the sky that really matters.” Leo nodded, though his attention soon returned to the small, shining pieces in his hands.
By Friday, the telescope was finally ready. Leo named it the Sky-Scanner. Though it looked a little unsteady on its wooden stand, it worked well enough. When he tested it on a distant chimney (烟囱), the image appeared clear. A wave of excitement ran through him — he was ready.
That evening, Leo set up everything in the backyard. The air was cool, and the smell of fresh grass filled the air. With a small red flashlight, he checked his star map and adjusted the telescope toward the horizon (地平线). One by one, stars began to appear in the darkening sky.
Just as he leaned forward to make a final adjustment, his foot caught on a garden water pipe. He was trapped and hit the stand. With a sharp sound, the eyepiece fell off and disappeared into the grass. Leo dropped to his knees and searched desperately, but the yard was too dark. “No,” he whispered, his voice shaking. “I’ve ruined everything.” The meteor shower was supposed to peak in thirty minutes, and without that tiny piece of glass, the stars would seem like distant, unclear dots.
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。
Just then, Grandpa came over, holding a lantern.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Moments later, Leo lay on the grass, quieter now, staring at the sky.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Just then, Grandpa came over, holding a lantern. “Grandpa, I can’t find the eyepiece!” Leo said anxiously. Together they searched the grass, the soft light moving slowly back and forth. After a while, however, Grandpa stopped and gently reminded Leo that he had already done well and should not miss the sky because of one small piece. Leo paused, his hands still in the grass. For a moment, he hesitated, then slowly straightened up and followed his grandfather’s gaze into the dark sky.
Moments later, Leo lay on the grass, quieter now, staring at the sky. At first, it seemed just as he had imagined. But suddenly, a bright streak of light crossed the darkness, followed by another. Soon, more meteors flashed overhead. Leo’s eyes widened. The sky was far from empty. He watched quietly, afraid to miss a moment. Then he understood that the telescope mattered, but so did patience and the willingness to look. At that moment, he realized he hadn’t lost the night at all.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Leo数月来一直盼着看八月的流星雨,他想要用自己亲手做的望远镜观测。他从爷爷的车库里找到一套老旧的望远镜组件打磨组装,爷爷时常在一旁陪伴,并告诉他“望远镜只是助力,真正重要的是你看待天空的方式”,但当时Leo没有体会这句话的意思。流星雨到来的当晚他在后院布置好准备观测,但不小心将目镜掉落在黑暗的草地上怎么都找不到。距离流星雨达到峰值只剩半小时,Leo崩溃地觉得一切都毁了。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“就在这时,爷爷走了过来,手里拿着一盏灯笼。”可知,第一段可描写爷爷和Leo一起寻找目镜无果,经过爷爷的提醒Leo犹豫地望向夜空。
②由第二段首句内容“片刻之后,Leo躺在草地上,此刻安静了许多,凝视着天空。”可知,第二段可描写Leo观看流星雨的过程和感悟。
2.续写线索:爷爷帮助一起寻找无果——爷爷温柔提醒——Leo起身犹豫地望向夜空——躺在草地上观看流星雨——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①站起身:straighten up/rise to one’s feet

[高分句型2] Then he understood that the telescope mattered, but so did patience and the willingness to look. (由连接词that引导宾语从句)
