Christmas time with kids is filled with warm traditions:Listening to Christmas music while
decorating the tree,going to look at Christmas lights with hot chocolate in hand,and taking the kids
to visit Santa Claus.Well,delete that last one.At least for my family
Parents think about how fun it will be at first to take their kids to see Santa,or tell them gifts
are on their way from Santa,but this comes with a series of annoying questions about Mr.Claus like
how he makes it to all the houses in one night,as well as the broken trust after revealing the truth.I
didn't want that
You may think that our Christmases were rigid,stuffy,and without any warmth or magic.I
don't think so.Part of that is due to what I taught my kids about Christmas.Instead of telling them
Santa is real,I told them it most likely has its origins in St.Nicholas,a man who was kind and
generous to children in need.Netflix's 2021 movie "A Boy Called Christmas"is a useful tool for
helping kids connect Christmas myths and traditions with reality while keeping the spirit of
generosity alive.
The month of December is filled with movie and game nights,plays and concerts.These family
traditions have added flavor to my kids'entire childhood.Hopefully,they know now that it's the time
with family,doing special things together,that creates the magic and that my love for them goes well
beyond just one day-and that magic,wonder and awe can happen any time with family,especially
if we remain generous and grateful.
My kids are older now,and they're glad they didn't believe the myth of Santa.It was one fewer
bad memory for them,one fewer blow to their innocent childhood.
24.What is special for the author's family's Christmas time?

B.skipping visiting Santa Claus.

A.Generosity comes from reality
B.Warmth counts to Christmas.

After eight years of planning,a cost of more than 500m kronor (f39m)and an early morning
blessing,Kiruna Kyrka began a slow 5km journey on Tuesday to make way for the expansion of
Europe's biggest underground mine.The 672-tonne wooden Swedish Lutheran church,dating from
1912,is to be slowly rolled to its new home over two days,at a pace of half-a-kilometre an hour.The
move is part of a huge multi-decade operation to relocate the whole Arctic town as the state-owned
LKAB iron mine weakens the ground,threatening to swallow the town
Designed by Gustaf Wickman,the church is one of Sweden's most-loved older buildings.More
than 10,000 people,including the Swedish king,Carl XV6 Gustaf,are expected to line the streets to
see the move of the red wooden building.
The expansion has attracted criticism,including from the Sami community,who fear that the
division of the land would make reindeer herding hard,threatening the local biodiversity.Karin K
Niia,a reindeer owner,warned the move was"a big show"to distract from the destruction mining
causes to the town and its native culture.She accused the company of"land-grabbing"the grassland
territory needed to support Sami culture.Fredriksson,who hosted a podcast on local Kiruna news,
was happy,at least,that the church had been saved,and hadn't ended up"as woodchips like the rest
of Kiruna.”
LKAB said the move was necessary for the church to continue to exist and stressed it sought
constructive solutions"when mining affected reindeer herding,the company's chief executive,Jan
Mostrom,said the relocation work had cost more than half a billion kronor and that if the mine is to
remain,the city center must move.
The church is expected to reopen at its new location at the end of next year,but the city's
relocation is not scheduled to finish until 2035.
28.What do we know about the Kiruna Kyrka church?
A.Its relocation lasts over eight years.
B.It travels across the entire Arctic town.
C.It is to be moved as a whole to a new place.
D.It was constructed in 1912 by Gustaf Wickman

29.What does the underlined phrase"a big show"suggest about the move?
A.It's a technical demonstration.
B.It's a misleading public display.
C.It's a huge advance towards biodiversity.
D.It's an enormous threat to Sami community.
30.What can be inferred about LKAB's statement?
A.It viewed the move as unavoidable.
B.It denied affecting reindeer herding.
C.It focused more on cultural heritage.
D.It regretted the project's high expense.
31.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

B.LKAB forces an arctic Town to relocate
C.Locals save Sweden's most-loved church
D.A historic church moves for mine expansion

Scientists at Finland's Aalto University have found that using artificial intelligence(AD almost
removes and reverses )the Dunning-Kruger effect,a phenomenon that people who aren't very
good at a given task are overconfident,while people with high ability tend to underestimate their
skills.Their research showed that when using common chatbots to solve problems,everyone
(regardless of their skill level)tended to put too much faith in the quality of the answers,with the
most experienced AI users doing so the most.
In the study,scientists gave 500 subjects logical reasoning tasks,with half allowed to use
ChatGPT.Both groups were later quizzed on both their AI literacy and how well they thought they
performed,and promised extra rewards if they assessed their own performance accurately
The reasons behind the findings are varied.Because aI users were usually satisfied with their
answer after only one question or prompt ()accepting the answer without further checking or
confirmation,they can be said to have engaged in what Robin Welsch,an Aalto University computer
scientist,.calls“cognitive(认知)offloading?”一exploring the question with reduced reflection,and
approaching it in a more "shallow"way.
Such less engagement in our own reasoning means we bypass (the usual feedback
process of critical thinking,which reduces our ability to assess our performance accurately.Even
more revealing was the fact that we all overestimate our abilities when using Al,regardless of our
intelligence,with the gap between high-and low-skill users reducing.The study owed this to the fact
that large language models (LLMs)help everyone perform better to some degree.Meanwhile,the
Aalto team warned of several potential impacts as AI becomes more widespread.
Firstly,metacognitive accuracy overall might suffer.Without reflecting on results,error
>
checking or deeper reasoning,we risk weakening our ability to source information reliably,the
scientists said in the study.What's more,the flattening of the Dunning-Kruger Effect will mean we'll
all continue to overestimate our abilities while using Al,with the more AI-literate among us doing so
even more-leading to an increased climate of miscalculated decision-making and a drop in their
skills.
32.What did Aalto University researchers discover about AI chatbot use?
A.Low-ability users became less confident.
B.It strengthened the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
C.Users generally over-trusted the chatbot's answers.
D.Only beginners often thought highly of their abilities.
33.Which aspect of the research is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.The purpose.
B.The process.
C.The subjects
D.The findings.
34.Why do the users often overestimate their abilities?
A.LLMs'aid improves users'task performance.
B.Users often skip the process of critical thinking.
C.AI tools contribute to users'metacognitive accuracy.
D.The gap between high-and low-skill AI users is bridged.
35.What will be probably talked about in the following paragraph?
A.Regulations for narrowing AI users'skill gap
B.Guidelines for sourcing information reliably.
C.Methods for preventing users'cognitive decline.
D.Tips for improving the subjects'performance.

Young Chinese travelers are discovering a clever way to save money on overseas trips.
36
_For example,one traveler took a high-speed train from Beijing to Datong and then caught
a direct flight to Bangkok.The total cost was much lower than a direct flight from Beijing.
37 This new travel style is possible thanks to newly opened international routes from
smaller city airports.This makes the overall journey surprisingly affordable.The airports in these
smaller cities offer another advantage:efficiency.With shorter walking distances and fewer crowds,
they provide a relaxed start to the trip compared to the often busy major hubs.
But for these young people,it's not just about saving money.38 They prefer to spend
their budget on better food and experiences at their destination.An expert points out this reflects an
upgrade in cultural consumption,not simply cheaper travel.
How can these tickets be so cheap?39 To encourage local tourism and economic
growth,local governments often provide support for these new flight routes.This reduces airline
costs,allowing them to offer low ticket prices.
This trend is growing across China.More small and medium-sized cities are launching budget
international flights.40
A.The main reason involves government support and market operations.
B.Therefore,the quality of their travel experience has significantly improved.
C.They combine a short train ride to a nearby city with a flight from its airport
D.Instead,it represents a smarter choice aimed at gaining greater value.
E.These flights are often 30-50%cheaper than those from big cities.
F.Consequently,this has led to a decrease in international travel overall.
G.As a result,young travelers now have more attractive and cheaper flight options.

The gipao,a key Chinese fashion symbol,has evolved through history,shaped by diverse
cultures.However,in its transformation 56 modern styles,the Shanghai-style qipao played a
crucial role.As 57 (describe)in The History of Chinese Oipao Cultre:"Modern qipao (in the
narrow sense)are essentially Shanghai-style,as most associate qipao'with 1930s-40s Shanghai
designs.”
In the 1920s,Shanghai female students started a fashion revolution in qipao,marking 58
10
break from traditional norms.The early Shanghai gipao was simple,loose,similar to Han men's
robes,59 was inspired by male clothing and acted as a "battle robe"for women."It was a call
for sex60 (equal),expressing hopes through appearance-a symbol of female independence,"
a professor said.
Later,the Shanghai qipao set 61 (it)apart with its mix of traditional Chinese 62
(element)and Western designs.Influenced by European fashion,its slim cut moved from loose robes,
63 (highlight)women's curves.The richness and variety of Shanghai gipao made Shanghai
"Oriental Paris"in the 1930s.The fashion quickly 64 (sweep)through the city and spread
nationwide.Today,designers draw inspiration from this style 65(create)new pieces blending
tradition with modernity.

Jason had a reputation as the messiest kid at Greenwood High School.His room was like a
junkyard,with clothes tossed everywhere,empty chip bags on the floor,and half-finished sodas
scattered across his desk.His mom,Susan,had stopped nagging ()him to clean up,hoping he
11
himself would eventually get the hint.But instead,the mess just got worse.
Greenwood High School was famous for its creative projects,so when the headmaster,Mr.
Thompson declared a new "Labor Education"project,no one was too surprised.The idea was simple:
teach students about hard work through real tasks.Jason wasn't excited-he would rather play
video games all day-but the project was a must;he had no choice.
Finally,the day of the project came.It was gray and overcast,matching Jason's mood as he
dragged himself into the school's lecture hall with his classmates,yawning and complaining.Mr.
Thompson stood on stage with a speaker."Today,we're going to learn the importance of labor!"he
exclaimed.Jason rolled his eyes when he was assigned to the gardening group with his best friend,
Mike.Their job was to clear out the school's overgrown front lawn and plant new flowers.They
shared a look that said it all-this was going to be a long day.
As they started weeding,Jason quickly discovered how hard physical labor could be.The
weeds were stubborn,and the leaves seemed to multiply every time he raked (them.His back
ached,his arms felt like jelly,and his hands blistered ()While stretching,eager to sneak in a
break,he spotted Mr.Thompson standing afar with a big smile from across the yard,giving him a
big thumbs-up.
After lunch,the group moved to build simple things like birdhouses for the garden in the
school's maintenance house.Jason had two left hands at first-his hammering was a mess-but
he slowly got better.By the end of the session,he managed to make a crooked but decent-looking
birdhouse.Carrying his newly-made birdhouse around,Jason proudly showed it off to his
classmates.
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。
The last task of the day was to plant new flowers
As the day ended,Jason walked back to his room.

W:Good morning,everyone!Today,I'd like to share some practical ways to save water in our daily lives.In fact,
we have all been told not to leave the water running while brushing our teeth or washing our faces.Another good
habit is taking shorter showers-every minute counts.
When it comes to doing the dishes,using the dishwasher is much more efficient than washing the dishes by hand,
but only if you fill it up.If you use the dishwasher for only a few plates or glasses,you will end up wasting more
water
Does your car need a wash?Get down to Lumsden College this weekend,where they are having a charity car
wash.The event will take place at the college parking lot,where the students will be washing cars for a good
cause-that's on Saturday,the 4th,from eight in the morning till eight in the evening.And the prices are pretty
good,too-just ten dollars for the outside of your car and eight dollars for the inside.If you want the full
service,outside and inside,it will cost you only fifteen dollars.That's not too bad.But the main thing is that all
the money raised will go to the homeless people in the area.So if your car is dirty,you know where to take it this
weekend.

25.推理判断题。根据第三段You may think that our Christmases were rigid,.stuffy,and without any warmth or
magic.I don't think so.Part of that is due to what I taught my kids about Christmas.Instead of telling them Santa is
real,I told them it most likely has its origins in St.Nicholas,a man who was kind and generous to children in need.
Netflix's 2021 movie"A Boy Called Christmas"is a useful tool for helping kids connect Christmas myths and
traditions with reality while keeping the spirit of generosity alive.(你或许以为我们的圣诞节刻板拘谨,缺乏温暖
与魔力。但我并不这样认为一这很大程度上得益于我教导孩子们如何看待圣诞节的方式。我没有给他们
说圣诞老人是真的,而是讲述了这个形象很可能源于圣尼古拉斯一一位对贫苦孩子充满善意与慷慨的真
实人物。Ntf1ix于2021年出品的电影《圣诞男孩》,是一部既能帮助孩子将圣诞传说与现实传统相联结,
又能延续慷慨精神的佳作)”可推知,作者没和孩子们讨论圣诞老人是否真实,而是通过探讨圣诞老人的起源

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍芬兰阿尔托大学的科学家发现使用人工智能几乎消除并逆转了邓宁
克鲁格效应,研究表明使用常见聊天机器人解决问题时,用户通常过度信任聊天机器人给出的答案,且无
论技能水平高低,使用人工智能时都会高估自己的能力,文章还探讨了该现象背后的原因以及可能带来的
潜在影响。
32.细节理解题。根据第一段Their research showed that when using common chatbots to solve problems,
everyone(regardless of their skill level)tended to put too much faith in the quality of the answers,with the most
experienced AI users doing so the most.(他们的研究表明,当使用普通聊天机器人解决问题时,每个人(无论
技能水平如何)都倾向于过度相信答案的质量,经验最丰富的人工智能用户表现得最为明显)”可知,阿尔托
大学的研究人员发现使用人工智能聊天机器人时,用户普遍过度信任聊天机器人的答案。故选C项。
33.主旨大意题。根据第二段In the study,.scientists gave500 subjects logical reasoning tasks,with half allowed
to use ChatGPT.Both groups were later quizzed on both their aI literacy and how well they thought they
performed,and promised extra rewards if they assessed their own performance accurately.(在这项a研究中,科学家
给500名受试者布置了逻辑推理任务,其中一半人被允许使用ChatGPT。随后,两组受试者都接受了关于
他们的人工智能素养以及他们认为自己表现如何的测试,并承诺如果他们能准确评估自己的表现,将给予
额外奖励)”可知,该段主要介绍了研究的过程,包括给受试者布置任务、分组、后续测试等。故选B项。

34.细节理解题。根据第四段“The study owed this to the fact that large language models(LLMs)help everyone
perform better to some degree.(该研究将此归因于大型语言模型(LLMs)在某种程度上帮助每个人都表现得
更好)”可知,用户经常高估自己的能力是因为大型语言模型的帮助提高了用户在任务中的表现。故选A项。
35.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Firstly,metacognitive accuracy overall might suffer..Without reflecting on results,
error checking or deeper reasoning,we risk weakening our ability to source information reliably,the scientists said
in the study.What's more,the flattening of the Dunning-Kruger Effect will mean we'll all continue to overestimate
our abilities while using AI,with the more AI-literate among us doing so even more-leading to an increased
climate of miscalculated decision-making and a drop in their skills.(首先,整体的元认知准确性可能会受到影响。
科学家在该研究中指出,若不对结果进行反思、不做错误检查或深入推理,我们就有可能削弱自己可靠获
取信息的能力。此外,邓宁·克鲁格效应的弱化将意味着:在使用人工智能时,我们所有人都会继续高估
自己的能力,而其中对人工智能更熟悉的人,这种情况会更为严重一这会导致错误决策的风气加剧,
同时使他们自身的能力下降)”可知,文章最后提到了使用人工智能的潜在影响,接下来可能会讨论防止用户
认知能力下降的方法。故选C项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当下年轻人流行的“从中小城市机场飞往海外”的新旅行模式,
通过高铁+小机场航班的组合节省成本,并分析了其背后的原因(政府补贴、市场运作)和反映的消费观
念升级(追求价值而非单纯低价)。
36.根据上文Young Chinese travelers are discovering a clever way to save money on overseas trips.(年轻的中国
游客正在寻找一种在海外旅行中节省费用的巧妙方法)”以及后文“For example,.one traveler took a high-speed
train from Beijing to Datong and then caught a direct flight to Bangkok.The total cost was much lower than a
direct flight from Beijing.(例如,有一位旅客先乘坐高速列车从北京前往大同,然后乘坐直飞航班前往曼谷。
整个行程的费用比从北京直接乘坐航班要低得多)”可知,空前的首句提出了“聪明的省钱方法这一总体概念,
空后则用具体例子(北京-大同曼谷)进行说明。C项“他们先将短途高铁和从小城市机场起飞的航班结合
起来恰是对“这种方法”具体操作方式的解释说明,作为桥梁连接了抽象的“方法”概念和其后具体的例子,
使逻辑连贯。故选C。
37.This new travel style is possible thanks to newly opened international routes from smaller city
airports.This makes the overall journey surprisingly affordable.The airports in these smaller cities offer another
advantage:efficiency.With shorter walking distances and fewer crowds,they provide a relaxed start to the trip
compared to the often busy major hubs.(这种新的旅行方式之所以能够实现,得益于一些较小城市机场新开通
的国际航线。这使得整个旅程的费用出乎意料地实惠。这些较小城市的机场还有另一个优势:效率更高。
由于步行距离较短且人群较少,与通常繁忙的大规模机场相比,它们为旅行提供了更为轻松的开端)'可知,
第二段需要阐述此现象可行的客观条件。E项“这些航线的票价通常比从大城市直飞便宜30%50%'概括了
本段核心一价格优势。它作为段落主题句,直接引出了空后“这种新旅行方式成为可能”的原因,并与段尾
提到的“使整个旅程出奇地划算”形成首尾呼应,统领全段。故选E。
38.根据上文“But for these young people,.it's not just about saving money.(但对于这些年轻人来说,这不仅仅
是为了省钱)'以及后文They prefer to spend their budget on better food and experiences at their destination.An
expert points out this reflects an upgrade in cultural consumption,.not simply cheaper travel..(他们更愿意将预算用
于购买更优质的食物以及在目的地享受更多的体验活动。一位专家指出,这反映的是文化消费水平的提升,
而非仅仅是旅行成本的降低)”可知,第三段旨在探讨现象背后的深层动机。空前句提出“这不只是图便宜,
将语意转向更深层次。D项“相反,它代表着一种旨在获取更高价值的更聪明选择'完美承接这一转折,明确
指出了其本质是“价值追求”,进而自然引出空后关于“将预算用于更好体验”和消费升级的具体阐述,逻辑
链条紧密。故选D。
39.根据上文How can these tickets be so cheap?(这些票怎么这么便宜呢?)”以及后文To encourage local
tourism and economic growth,local governments often provide support for these new flight routes.This reduces
5
airline costs,allowing them to offer low ticket prices..(为了促进当地旅游业的发展和经济增长,地方政府通常会
为这些新的航线提供支持。这降低了航空公司的运营成本,从而使他们能够提供较低的票价)”可知,第四段
以设问句开头,询问低价原因。A项主要原因与政府支持和市场运作有关”直接、概括性地回答了该问题,
是总起句。它随即引出了空后对“政府支持”如何具体运作的详细解释(如提供补贴、降低风险),构成了“总
一分”的逻辑关系。故选A。
40.This trend is growing across China.More small and medium-sized cities are launching budget
international flights.(这种趋势正在中国各地不断蔓延。越来越多的中小城市正在开通廉价国际航班)”可知,
文章最后一段描述此趋势在全国蔓延的现象。空前句列举了多个城市开通低价国际航线的实例。G项“因此,
年轻旅行者现在有了更多诱人且廉价的飞行选择”正是基于前文众多实例得出的自然结论,总结了这一趋势
对目标群体(年轻旅行者)产生的最终影响,有效收束全文,符合段尾句的功能。故选G。

【语篇导读】本文以父亲视角展开,讲述儿子卢克在橄榄球比赛中放弃得分机会而救助重伤对手的故事。
通过对比“观众功利主义”与“卢克的人道主义”,强调真正的胜利在于道德与良心。
41.A.“opposing(对立的)语境为‘与镇上的41队伍比赛',需表示对手'。干扰项B‘相同的'、C获胜的'、
D训练'均与比赛逻辑矛盾。
42.B.stands(露天看台)是观众聚集的区域。A“赛场”是球员区域,C“更衣室”、D“停车场”与“观众挤满
不匹配。
43.D.avoiding(躲避)伴随前面的动作“ran this way and that”,形容灵活地、曲折地奔跑。可译为“左躲右闪”,
体现了动作的灵活性和躲避意图,以躲避对方球员,描述突破对手球员的防守。A“指导”、B“问候”、C协
助”违背比赛进攻逻辑。这一段讲的是:在比赛的关键时刻,卢克拿到橄榄球,冲向达阵区。他左躲右闪,
避开了对方多名球员的拦截。他的队友们也出色地完成了阻挡任务。最后,挡在我儿子和达阵区之间的
只剩一个对手了。这时,一位队友猛烈地撞向那名球员,将他撞倒在地。
44.A.soid(相当不错的)符合文中对队友掩护的正面描述。此处考查了熟词生义,结合基本义“结实的,坚
硬的”引申而来,也可以通过淘汰法来选择。B“混乱的”、C“犹豫的”、D“半心半意的,不认真的”均
不符合语境。
45.B.knocking(碰撞,使摔倒)sb.to the ground与hard block”动作一致。A抬起’、C引路”、D“邀请”不
符合阻截动作。
46.C.nexpectedly(意外地)体现情节转折一冲刺后突然停止。A“欢快地”、B“逐渐”、D“不情愿地”无
法呼应后文放弃得分的行为。本段可译为:现在,球门和我儿子之间已空无一人。他全力冲刺,却出人
意料地停了下来,转过身,跑回那个倒在地上的男孩身边,然后单膝跪地。
47.C.took(采取姿势)和aknee构成短语“took a knee'”意为“单膝跪地”。在美式橄榄球文化中,当球员
受伤时,其他球员常单膝跪地以示意和关心查看伤情。A"took a bow”,意为鞠躬,鞠躬致谢”,不符
合帮助受伤球员的语境:B“took a breath'”,意为“深吸一口气”;D“took a step”,意为“迈出一步”,前
文强调他主动关怀(ran back to the boy),而“迈步”过于中性,无法体现具体意图,且与主题无关。
48.D.shouted(吼叫)符合现场辱骂场景,符合原文“吼叫侮辱,的激烈场景(went wild'')。A aimed(将某
物瞄准某人):B directed(将话语精准地对准某人);C mouthed(无声地说),语法成立但违背“人群疯狂,
的语境。本段可译为:人群一片哗然。我们队的球迷对卢克恶语相向。那些我认识多年的人说着恶毒的
话,怒视着我的儿子,威胁他。
49.A.threatening him(威胁他)完美呼应前文“staring at(盯着)my son angrily'”;B“抓住”、C“忽视”、D“安慰,
6
均不符合语境。
50.C.sickening表示“给人以不祥感觉的/让人觉得不妙的',crack指“断裂声/咔嚓声”,这里指骨头断
裂的声音,意为“可怕的断裂声”或“令人心悸的咔嚓声”,既传达了声音的可怕性质,也暗示了伤势严重。
A“微弱的”、B“悦耳的”、D“多次重复的”,但骨折是单次瞬间声响。本段可译为:我悄悄说:“爸爸,
他摔倒时我听到了可怕的断裂声。他的腿断了一要是去得分就会延误医疗救助。”他眼里噙满泪水,补
充道:“您教过我的,真正的体育精神,就是做正确的事。”
51.B.put off(推迟)符合“继续得分会耽搁救治”的逻辑。A“取消”、C“抑制”、D“放弃”与前后文语义相
悖。
52.D.sportsmanship(体育精神)是全文核心主题。A“策略”、B“比赛”、C“健康”偏离文中道德选择的主旨。
53.B.surgery(外科手术),由前文的“serious break''(重伤)和“X-rays showed'(专业诊断)可确认“needing
surgery”;A.rest:基于生活经验验证(“轻伤休息”习惯认知):C.help:利用人文关怀泛化思维(“伤者
都需要帮助”):D.nedicine:常见医疗词汇误用(“吃药治百病”误区)。本段可译为:我满怀自豪地紧
紧抱住他。后来,X光片显示是一处需要手术的严重骨折。那天晚上,卢克没有获得奖项一
然而他
的道德操守却在更衣室里熠熠生辉。多年以后,教练们仍在讲述一个男孩的关怀如何重新定义了胜利。
54.D.integrity(正直),“moral integrity''意为“道德操守/正直品格”,强调卢克放弃得分、坚持救人的行为体
现了高尚的道德原则(呼应前文Tue52 means doing what's right')。干扰项分析:A.judgment(判断)为
中性词,与后文不匹配;B.talent(天赋)受体育语境误导(means doing what's right,但前文明确说“got no
prize(未获奖)'),且故事核心是道德选择而非球技,X光片、手术等细节均与天赋无关;C.effort(努力)
易联想“他努力救人”,但空前的moral(道德的)直接限定词义方向。“moral effort(道德努力)”搭配生
硬,且后文lit up the locker room(照亮更衣室)”强调精神感召力而非努力程度。
55.C.ctoy(胜利)符合全文核心主题,卢克放弃得分机会救助对手的行为,颠覆了传统对“胜利”的定义
(从“赢得比赛”升华为“道德选择”)。关键词呼应:前文提到“got no prize(未获奖)”与redefined
victory(重新定义胜利)”形成强烈对比。A.value(价值):文章并非讨论“价值”本身,而是改变对“胜
利'的认知。B.ules(规则):卢克的行为未改变比赛规则,而是挑战人们对胜负的固有观念。D.privilege
(特权、特殊待遇):与文章主题无关。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了作为中国时尚标志的旗袍的发展历程,重点讲述海派旗袍的关键作
用:20世纪20年代上海女学生引领旗袍变革,体现女性独立与性别平等诉求;之后海派旗袍融合中西元素
形成独特风格,在30、40年代风靡上海乃至全国,如今仍为现代旗袍设计提供灵感。
56.考查介词和固定短语。句意:然而,在向现代风格转变的过程中,上海式旗袍发挥了至关重要的作用。
根据空前transformation''可推知,这里应是固定短语“transformation into./to..”,意为转化为...”。故填
into/to。
57.考查省略句结构。句意:正如《中国旗袍文化史》中所述:“现代旗袍(狭义上而言)本质上是上海风
格的,因为大多数人将旗袍'与20世纪30至40年代的上海设计联系在一起。”分析可知,“As
(describe)in.”为状语从句“As it is
(describe)in.”的省略形式,所填动词与逻辑主语之间为被动关
系,用过去分词形式。故填described.。
58.考查不定冠词。句意:在20世纪20年代,上海的女学生开始在旗袍的穿着上掀起一场变革,这标
志着她们对传统规范的彻底突破。分析可知,空后的break”为名词,意为“改变,突破',可数名词,此处
表示泛指,且break发音以辅音音素开头,需填不定冠词a,作其限定词。故填a。
59.考查非限制性定语从句引导词。句意:早期的上海旗袍款式简单、宽松,与汉族男子的长袍相似,其
设计灵感源自男性服装,为女性提供了“战袍”的功能。分析可知,“
was inspired by male clothing"
非限制性定语从句,先行词是前面的句子,在从句在作主语,用关系代词whch引导从句。故填whch。
60.考查名词。句意:一位教授说道:“这是一次关于性别平等的呼吁,通过外表来表达对平等的渴望
它象征着女性的独立自主。”分析可知,“sx”此处为名词作定语,修饰所填内容,表示“性别平等”这一含义,
因此所填应是名词。“equal'',形容词,意为“平等的”,其名词形式为equality(公平,平等)”。故填equality。
61.考查反身代词。句意:后来,上海旗袍凭借其将中国传统元素与西方设计相结合的特点而独树一帜。
分析可知,所填应是动词st”的宾语,且宾语指代主语本身,应是用反身代词表达。故填itself。
62.考查名词复数。句意:后来,上海旗袍凭借其将中国传统元素与西方设计相结合的特点而独树一帜。
分析可知,空前Chinese”为形容词,作名词的定语,因此所填为名词。“element'”,可数名词,意为“元素,
成分”,结合语境用复数形式。故填elements。
63.考查现在分词作状语。句意:受到欧洲时尚的影响,其修身剪裁摒弃了宽松的长袍款式,突出了女性
的曲线美。分析可知,“
highlight)women's curves'”为结果状语,句子主语“slim cut(修身剪裁)'和
highlight(凸显)'是主动关系,用现在分词形式。故填highlighting。
64.考查时态。句意:这种时尚很快就在这座城市流行起来,并迅速在全国范围内传播开来。分析可知,
所填动词作句子的谓语动词;结合前文语境以及后文“spread'可知,这里用一般过去时,动词用过去式。故
填swept。
65.考查动词不定式。句意:如今,设计师们从这种风格中汲取灵感,创造出将传统与现代元素相结合的
新作品。分析可知,这里用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to create。

Hello,everyone!
I'm Li Hua,honoured to represent my class in this competition.Today,I will talk about Confucius,a
renowned Chinese philosopher.
Confucius,or Kong Zi,was an influential educator who dedicated his life to teaching and spreading wisdom.
He emphasized moral values,respect for elders,and the pursuit of knowledge.Traveling throughout the country,he
profoundly impacted Chinese society,shaping the education system and influencing ethics and social harmony.To
this day,his ideas continue to guide individuals and communities in China and beyond,offering valuable lessons on
integrity,compassion and social responsibility.
Thanks for listening and may we all continue to learn from the profound insights into Confucius.
67.例文
The last task of the day was to plant new flowers.Jason,with his legs numb with fierce ache and blistered
fingers out of shape,had little desire to manage the sweating task.He was about to give up when the scene where
the headmaster announced the"Labor Education"project flashed into his mind.He took up the shovel and dug
several holes to plant the new flowers despite the pain on his back and sweat rolling down his cheek.With their
joint efforts,they had all the new flowers planted.The refreshing yard witnessed their perseverance and endurance
they had paid.
As the day ended,Jason walked back to his room.At the sight of the messy junkyard,he couldn't wait to
take action,recalling the newfound lesson gained under the blazing sunlight.The tossed clothes were folded and
placed back to their positions.The room turned on a new and vigorous look.Noticing Mom's obvious shock and
amazement on her face,Jason made a sly wink.It was the project that taught him the significance of labor,which
was going to be engraved in his mind forever.
