Instead of snacks or drinks, this one sells something more enriching: books. Inspired by a European book vending machine and troubled by the struggles of her fellow prize-winning authors, Lauren Woods, an award-winning fiction author herself, launched LitBox. The vending machine serves works by Washington, D.C.-area authors, including those from small presses or ignored by traditional bookstores. For Woods, LitBox is more than a novel idea; it’s a passion project designed to make local literature more available and the publishing world’ more inclusive. By offering literature from outside the usual commercial pattern, LitBox stands as a living challenge to an industry centering on major publishers. Woods holds that quality doesn’t always match mass-market standards, and the sales back her up — readers now choose small press titles at rates nearly equal to those from major ones. This reader support is especially significant for a city facing cuts to arts funding, as LitBox has proven itself an essential grassroots literary lifeline. “Everyone is telling you that your words and your voice don’t matter,” Woods said. “LitBox is my way of saying: Actually, they do.” LitBox features a variety of selections from poetry and fiction to children’s books, all by D.C.-area writers. Noticing passers-by captured by the vending machine throughout the day, Western Market’s manager Danielle Fisher says that LitBox fits right into the community-first atmosphere of the space. “The idea that LitBox showcases local authors was really a special touch.” Woods collected nearly $7,000 to launch the project and is now-working to expand it across D.C., especially in neighborhoods without access to small-press books. “I’m so proud to live in this city,” Woods said. “LitBox is my way of sharing my pride in the people I live with and talk to every day.” With one simple but powerful idea, Woods is helping rewrite the rules of access and visibility in publishing. 4. Why is LitBox a passion project to Woods? A. It possesses commercial potential. B. It promotes local literary works. C. It will help local literature win prizes. D. It will replace traditional bookstores. 5. What might Woods agree with’ A. Readers avoid major publishers. B. Market standards define readership. C. Arts funding favors local literature. D. Small presses have big impacts. 6. What can be inferred about LitBox in paragraph 4? A. It reflects community services. B. It attracts business investment. C. It features authors nationwide. D. It receives public recognition. 7. How will Woods develop LitBox in the future? A. Cooperate with more publishers. B. Extend its distribution. C. Raise funds for more authors. D. Diversify its book selection. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。讲述获奖作家劳伦·伍兹受启发推出售书自动售卖机LitBox，售卖当地作者作品，挑战主流出版业，获得读者支持，她还计划扩大其覆盖范围。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“For Woods, LitBox is more than a novel idea; it’s a passion project designed to make local literature more available and the publishing world more inclusive.(对伍兹来说，LitBox不仅仅是一个新奇的想法；它是一个激情项目，旨在让当地文学更容易获得，让出版界更具包容性。)”可知，LitBox对伍兹来说是一个激情项目，因为它促进了当地文学作品的传播。因此，选项B“It promotes local literary works.(它促进了当地文学作品的传播)”符合题意。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“Woods holds that quality doesn’t always match mass-market standards, and the sales back her up — readers now choose small press titles at rates nearly equal to those from major ones.(伍兹认为，质量并不总是符合大众市场的标准，销售数据也支持了她的观点——现在读者选择小出版社书目的比例几乎与选择大出版社的比例相同。)”以及“This reader support is especially significant for a city facing cuts to arts funding, as LitBox has proven itself an essential grassroots literary lifeline.(对于一座面临艺术资金削减的城市来说，这种读者的支持尤为重要，因为LitBox已经证明了自己是一条至关重要的基层文学生命线。)”可知，伍兹认为小出版社的书目对读者有很大的影响，得到了读者的支持。因此，选项D“Small presses have big impacts.(小出版社有很大的影响)”符合题意。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“Noticing passers-by captured by the vending machine throughout the day, Western Market’s manager Danielle Fisher says that LitBox fits right into the community-first atmosphere of the space. ‘The idea that LitBox showcases local authors was really a special touch.’(西方市场经理丹妮尔·费舍尔注意到，一整天都有路人被自动售货机吸引，她说LitBox正好融入了这个空间以社区为先的氛围。‘LitBox展示当地作家的想法真的很特别。’)”可知，LitBox得到了西方市场经理丹妮尔·费舍尔的认可，并且融入了社区氛围，说明它得到了公众的认可。因此，选项D“It receives public recognition.(它得到了公众的认可)”符合题意。故选D项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段中的“Woods collected nearly $7,000 to launch the project and is now working to expand it across D.C., especially in neighborhoods without access to small-press books.(伍兹筹集了近7000美元来启动这个项目，现在正努力在华盛顿特区各地推广，特别是在那些无法获得小出版社书籍的社区。)”可知，伍兹未来将扩大LitBox的发行范围。因此，选项B“Extend its distribution.(扩大其发行范围)”符合题意。故选B项。 C Like most other parrots, parakeets (长尾鹦鹉) are known to have the ability to imitate the way humans speak. Now a new study has found that when parakeets make sounds, their brains work similarly to the way human brains function when we speak. The study was led by Michael Long, a professor at New York University. Long’s team focused on common parakeets. They recorded their brain activity as they made sounds, focusing on a part of the brain called the anterior arcopallium (AAC), which is known to affect vocal (嗓子的) muscles. They found that certain brain cells became active when the birds made specific sounds. Some cells seemed to be involved in producing consonants, and others created vowels. Some showed activity when the birds made high-pitched (声调高的) sounds, while other cells lit up for low-pitched sounds. This simple system allows parakeets to combine different sounds to make complex calls. “What the parrot has presented is this beautiful, elegant solution for making vocal sounds,” Long told New Scientist. In human brains, specific brain cell activity is associated with certain movements of the lips or tongue. This is the first time scientists have identified a similar language “map” in the brain of a non-human animal. Long’s team also studied zebra finches. In contrast to parakeets, the finches’ brains have complicated systems. But these can only allow them to make simple songs but not to mimic human speech. Researching how language works in birds’ brains could help scientists better understand how it works in the human brain. This could lead to solutions for speech disability in humans. 8. How did the scientists study the parakeets’ brains? A. By comparing them with humans’. B. By teaching parakeets new sounds. C. By recording parakeets’ brain activity. D. By observing parakeets’ behaviors. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The procedure of the research. B. The use of sound in human speech. C. Differences between parakeets and humans. D. Parakeets’ brain system for sound production. 10. What does the word “these” in paragraph 5 refer to? A. Parakeets. B. Zebra finches. C. Parakeets’ brain systems. D. Zebra finches’ brain systems. 11. What is the significance of the study by Long’s team? A. It contributes to better protection of animals. B. It may help us solve human speech problems. C. It enables us to understand the natural world deeper. D. It enriches our knowledge about languages in the world. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究发现长尾鹦鹉发声时大脑运作与人类说话时相似，其大脑特定细胞参与不同声音产生。研究或助于理解人类大脑语言功能及解决语言障碍。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“They recorded their brain activity as they made sounds, focusing on a part of the brain called the anterior arcopallium (AAC), which is known to affect vocal (嗓子的) muscles.( 当他们发声时，他们记录下了他们的大脑活动，重点关注大脑中被称为前弓鞘（AAC）的部分，该部分已知会影响声带肌肉。)”可知，科学家通过记录长尾鹦鹉发出声音时的大脑活动来研究它们的大脑。故选C项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“They found that certain brain cells became active when the birds made specific sounds. Some cells seemed to be involved in producing consonants, and others created vowels. Some showed activity when the birds made high-pitched (声调高的) sounds, while other cells lit up for low-pitched sounds. This simple system allows parakeets to combine different sounds to make complex calls.( 他们发现，当鸟类发出特定的声音时，某些脑细胞会变得活跃。一些细胞似乎参与产生辅音，而其他细胞则产生元音。当鸟发出高音调的声音时，一些细胞显示出活动，而其他细胞则发出低音调的声音。这个简单的系统可以让长尾鹦鹉组合不同的声音来发出复杂的叫声。)”可知，主要讲述了长尾鹦鹉产生声音的大脑系统，比如不同脑细胞在产生不同声音（辅音、元音、高低声调声音）时的活动情况。故选D项。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第五段“Long’s team also studied zebra finches. In contrast to parakeets, the finches’ brains have complicated systems. But these can only allow them to make simple songs but not to mimic human speech.( Long的团队还研究了斑胸草雀。与长尾小鹦鹉相比，雀类的大脑系统复杂。但这些只能让它们唱简单的歌，而不能模仿人类的语言。)”可知，这里的“these”指代前面提到的“the finches’ brains”，也就是斑马雀的大脑系统。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Researching how language works in birds’ brains could help scientists better understand how it works in the human brain. This could lead to solutions for speech disability in humans.( 研究语言在鸟类大脑中的工作方式可以帮助科学家更好地了解语言在人类大脑中的工作方式。这可能会导致人类语言障碍的解决方案。)”可推知，Long 团队研究的意义在于可能有助于解决人类的语言问题。故选B项。 D Space agencies have been treating the idea of living on Mars (火星) a long-term goal. However, the thin air, low pressure and extreme temperatures are what most Earth life can’t tolerate, let alone the constant radiation. So, a Mars shelter is central to any plan for sustainable human life. Shipping material from Earth would be far too unrealistic. A practical approach, as is published on the website NASA Science, is to build with what is already on Mars. NASA has collected samples of Martian soil that may contain evidence of very early life. That raises a bigger question: if microorganisms (微生物) once lived on Mars, could they also help us build there? The focus is biomineralization — microorganisms create minerals as part of their metabolism (新陈代谢). Erik Richards, lead author of the research, said microorganisms on Earth that burgeon in tough settings such as acidic lakes, volcanic soils, and deep caves may be especially useful as we explore what could work under Martian conditions. The work centers on a partnership between two bacteria: Sporosarcina pasteurii (巴氏芽孢八叠球菌), which is known for creating calcium carbonate, and Chroococcidiopsis (拟甲色球藻), a strong cyanobacterium that can survive extreme environments, including simulated (模拟的) Martian conditions. Together, they transform loose soil into a solid, concrete - like material. The long-term vision is to combine this bacterial co-culture with Martian soil and use it as feedstock (原料) for 3D printing on Mars. If it works in volume, it could change how structures are made on this red planet. The potential value is not limited to construction. Because Chroococcidiopsis can produce oxygen, it could also help enable self-sustaining agriculture and Mars’s terraforming (地球化). Even with promising ideas, their work is still at an early stage. Repeated delays in Mars sample return limit how quickly Mars-specific construction methods can be tested and confirmed. Also, robotics today is unable to reproduce Martian gravity on Earth, yet gravity affects 3D printing and autonomous construction. 12. Why is a shelter of vital importance on Mars? A. Because material from Earth can’t be used. B. Because too many space agencies want to stay. C. Because its conditions are deadly for Earth life. D. Because space agencies target long-term research. 13. What does the underlined word “burgeon” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Boom. B. Sink. C. Communicate. D. Disappear. 14. What can be inferred about the construction work? A. It is an incredibly fast process. B. It may bring about added bonus. C. It has been tested and confirmed. D. It takes just two types of bacteria. 15. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Different stages. B. Promising ideas. C. Current obstacles. D. Potential applications. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了利用火星本土微生物在火星建造避难所的设想及面临的问题。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, the thin air, low pressure and extreme temperatures are what most Earth life can’t tolerate, let alone the constant radiation. So, a Mars shelter is central to any plan for sustainable human life. (然而，稀薄的空气、低气压和极端温度是大多数地球生命无法忍受的，更不用说持续的辐射了。因此，火星避难所是任何可持续人类生活计划的核心。)”可知，火星上的条件对地球生命来说是致命的，所以避难所在火星上至关重要。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Erik Richards, lead author of the research, said microorganisms on Earth that burgeon in tough settings such as acidic lakes, volcanic soils, and deep caves may be especially useful as we explore what could work under Martian conditions. (该研究的主要作者埃里克·理查兹说，地球上在酸性湖泊、火山土壤和深洞穴等恶劣环境中burgeon的微生物，在我们探索火星条件下可能起作用的东西时可能特别有用。)”可知，此处表示在恶劣环境中繁盛的微生物，burgeon意为“繁盛，激增”，与boom意思相近。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The potential value is not limited to construction. Because Chroococcidiopsis can produce oxygen, it could also help enable self-sustaining agriculture and Mars’s terraforming (地球化). (其潜在价值不仅限于建筑。因为拟甲色球藻可以产生氧气，它还可以帮助实现自给自足的农业和火星的地球化。)”可推知，这项建造工作可能会带来额外的好处。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Even with promising ideas, their work is still at an early stage. Repeated delays in Mars sample return limit how quickly Mars-specific construction methods can be tested and confirmed. Also, robotics today is unable to reproduce Martian gravity on Earth, yet gravity affects 3D printing and autonomous construction. (即使有很有前途的想法，他们的工作仍处于早期阶段。火星样本返回的反复延迟限制了火星特定建造方法的测试和确认速度。此外，目前的机器人技术还无法在地球上重现火星的重力，而重力会影响3D打印和自主建造。)”可知，最后一段主要讲了目前这项工作面临的障碍。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 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。 Writing flow refers to the smooth and logical progression of ideas within a piece of writing. ____16____ Poor writing flow can confuse readers and make your message unclear. One useful technique to improve your writing flow is maintaining consistency (一致性). One key element of maintaining consistency is tense consistency. Decide whether you’re writing in the past, present, or future tense. ____17____ Unnecessary changes in tense can make your writing seem unclear. For example, avoid sentences that jump between “He walked to the store” and “He is buying milk”. ____18____ Choose your pronouns carefully. Are you writing in the first person (“I” or “we”), second person (“you”), or third person (“he”, “she”, “it” or “they”)? Once you’ve made your choice, stick with it. Changing pronouns can create confusion. If you are writing about a particular person, make sure to use the same pronouns to refer to them. Be mindful of perspective (角度) changes, especially in creative writing. If you start a scene from one character’s perspective, avoid suddenly jumping into another character’s thoughts and feelings without a clear transition (过渡). Sudden changes can mislead the reader and weaken the impact of your story. ____19____ In summary, consistency is achieved through careful attention to tense and pronoun usage, and by avoiding sudden and confusing changes in perspective. ____20____ In this way, you can make the reading experience enjoyable and help the audience grasp the intended message more easily. A. It helps guide the reader effortlessly. B. Similarly, pay close attention to pronoun consistency. C. Stick to it unless there’s a reasonable reason to change. D. Effective writing isn’t just about getting your ideas down. E. If a change is necessary, use specific techniques to signal the change. F. Mastering these skills can help ensure your writing is clear and engaging. G. Improving your writing flow is not a one-time achievement but a journey. 【答案】16. A 17. C 18. B 19. E 20.

She often delayed her school assignments. Her weekends were usually filled with dreams of hanging out with friends, or staying at her grandparents’ house, where she would enjoy herself and play freely with some of her friends. One weekend, Renny planned to go to her grandparents’ place. When her mother asked if she had any schoolwork to complete, Renny shook her head and said no, hiding the fact that she had a math assignment due soon. Her mother agreed to drop her off, reminding her to practice her math skills. Renny promised she would study later, but the weekend passed quickly with fun and relaxation. By the time Monday arrived, she had completely forgotten about the assignment. Walking into the classroom, panic swept over her. When her teacher asked for the assignment, Renny lied that she had forgotten it at home. The teacher simply told her to bring it the next day. Relieved, Renny thought the small lie had solved everything. But when the next day came, she still had not done the work. She made up another excuse, saying her cousin had spilled ink on it. The teacher raised an eyebrow doubtfully, so Renny quickly invented a story about a visiting cousin. Her friend asked how long the cousin was staying, and Renny answered, “Until Saturday,” adding another layer to her lie. That evening, her mother mentioned that the teacher had called about the missing assignment. Renny insisted she had already submitted it, claiming the teacher must have forgotten. The lies began to grow, each one demanding another to hold them up. Her friend later questioned her about the cousin, and Renny struggled to keep the story straight, nervously saying he had left early. Renny started to feel trapped. At home, she sensed doubt in her mother’s voice. At school, her teacher’s gaze seemed sharper, and her friend grew distant. The small lie had grown into a web she could not escape. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Then one day, the truth came out. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After admitting everything, Renny felt a mix of shame and relief. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Then one day, the truth came out. Her teacher called Renny’s mother, and together they sat down with her after school. At first, Renny’s heart raced with panic, and she tried to stick to her story. But when her mother looked at her with disappointment and her teacher waited patiently, her defense crumbled. Tears welled up in her eyes as she told them everything. Instead of anger, her teacher said gently, “Lies only make things worse. The truth, however hard, sets you free.” Her mother added, “We all make mistakes, but what matters is how we fix them.” Renny nodded, beginning to understand. After admitting everything, Renny felt a mix of shame and relief. That evening, she finished her math assignment honestly, asking for help when she needed it. The next day, she stood before her class and said, “I’m terribly sorry that I have lied about the assignment.” A brief silence followed, and then her teacher smiled and said, “Truth always deserves respect.” Her friend gave her a small nod. From that day on, Renny learned that honesty, though sometimes difficult, never traps you the way lies do. She realized that facing a problem bravely was far better than hiding behind excuses, and she promised herself to choose truth from then on. 【解析】 【导语】本文以谎言与真相为线索展开，讲述了Renny因拖延未完成作业而不断撒谎，最终被揭穿后选择诚实面对并从中成长的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可描写老师打电话给Renny的母亲，两人一起与Renny对质，Renny起初试图坚持谎言但最终崩溃坦白，老师和母亲给予教导。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可描写Renny诚实完成作业、向全班道歉、得到老师和同学的认可，以及她从中领悟到诚实的重要性并决心改正。 2.续写线索：谎言被揭穿——对质与崩溃——坦白一切——接受教导——诚实补做——当众道歉——领悟成长 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①坚持：stick to/insist on/hold on to ②崩溃；瓦解：crumble/collapse/break down ③承诺：promise/commit 情绪类 ①恐慌；惊慌：panic/fear/anxiety ②失望：disappointment/dissatisfaction/displeasure ③尊重：respect/esteem/admiration 【点睛】【高分句型1】That evening, she finished her math assignment honestly, asking for help when she needed it.

Instead of snacks or drinks, this one sells something more enriching: books. Inspired by a European book vending machine and troubled by the struggles of her fellow prize-winning authors, Lauren Woods, an award-winning fiction author herself, launched LitBox. The vending machine serves works by Washington, D.C.-area authors, including those from small presses or ignored by traditional bookstores. For Woods, LitBox is more than a novel idea; it’s a passion project designed to make local literature more available and the publishing world’ more inclusive. By offering literature from outside the usual commercial pattern, LitBox stands as a living challenge to an industry centering on major publishers. Woods holds that quality doesn’t always match mass-market standards, and the sales back her up — readers now choose small press titles at rates nearly equal to those from major ones. This reader support is especially significant for a city facing cuts to arts funding, as LitBox has proven itself an essential grassroots literary lifeline. “Everyone is telling you that your words and your voice don’t matter,” Woods said. “LitBox is my way of saying: Actually, they do.” LitBox features a variety of selections from poetry and fiction to children’s books, all by D.C.-area writers. Noticing passers-by captured by the vending machine throughout the day, Western Market’s manager Danielle Fisher says that LitBox fits right into the community-first atmosphere of the space. “The idea that LitBox showcases local authors was really a special touch.” Woods collected nearly $7,000 to launch the project and is now-working to expand it across D.C., especially in neighborhoods without access to small-press books. “I’m so proud to live in this city,” Woods said. “LitBox is my way of sharing my pride in the people I live with and talk to every day.” With one simple but powerful idea, Woods is helping rewrite the rules of access and visibility in publishing. 4. Why is LitBox a passion project to Woods? A. It possesses commercial potential. B. It promotes local literary works. C. It will help local literature win prizes. D. It will replace traditional bookstores. 5. What might Woods agree with’ A. Readers avoid major publishers. B. Market standards define readership. C. Arts funding favors local literature. D. Small presses have big impacts. 6. What can be inferred about LitBox in paragraph 4? A. It reflects community services. B. It attracts business investment. C. It features authors nationwide. D. It receives public recognition. 7. How will Woods develop LitBox in the future? A. Cooperate with more publishers. B. Extend its distribution. C. Raise funds for more authors. D. Diversify its book selection. C Like most other parrots, parakeets (长尾鹦鹉) are known to have the ability to imitate the way humans speak. Now a new study has found that when parakeets make sounds, their brains work similarly to the way human brains function when we speak. The study was led by Michael Long, a professor at New York University. Long’s team focused on common parakeets. They recorded their brain activity as they made sounds, focusing on a part of the brain called the anterior arcopallium (AAC), which is known to affect vocal (嗓子的) muscles. They found that certain brain cells became active when the birds made specific sounds. Some cells seemed to be involved in producing consonants, and others created vowels. Some showed activity when the birds made high-pitched (声调高的) sounds, while other cells lit up for low-pitched sounds. This simple system allows parakeets to combine different sounds to make complex calls. “What the parrot has presented is this beautiful, elegant solution for making vocal sounds,” Long told New Scientist. In human brains, specific brain cell activity is associated with certain movements of the lips or tongue. This is the first time scientists have identified a similar language “map” in the brain of a non-human animal. Long’s team also studied zebra finches. In contrast to parakeets, the finches’ brains have complicated systems. But these can only allow them to make simple songs but not to mimic human speech. Researching how language works in birds’ brains could help scientists better understand how it works in the human brain. This could lead to solutions for speech disability in humans. 8. How did the scientists study the parakeets’ brains? A. By comparing them with humans’. B. By teaching parakeets new sounds. C. By recording parakeets’ brain activity. D. By observing parakeets’ behaviors. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The procedure of the research. B. The use of sound in human speech. C. Differences between parakeets and humans. D. Parakeets’ brain system for sound production. 10. What does the word “these” in paragraph 5 refer to? A. Parakeets. B. Zebra finches. C. Parakeets’ brain systems. D. Zebra finches’ brain systems. 11. What is the significance of the study by Long’s team? A. It contributes to better protection of animals. B. It may help us solve human speech problems. C. It enables us to understand the natural world deeper. D. It enriches our knowledge about languages in the world. D Space agencies have been treating the idea of living on Mars (火星) a long-term goal. However, the thin air, low pressure and extreme temperatures are what most Earth life can’t tolerate, let alone the constant radiation. So, a Mars shelter is central to any plan for sustainable human life. Shipping material from Earth would be far too unrealistic. A practical approach, as is published on the website NASA Science, is to build with what is already on Mars. NASA has collected samples of Martian soil that may contain evidence of very early life. That raises a bigger question: if microorganisms (微生物) once lived on Mars, could they also help us build there? The focus is biomineralization — microorganisms create minerals as part of their metabolism (新陈代谢). Erik Richards, lead author of the research, said microorganisms on Earth that burgeon in tough settings such as acidic lakes, volcanic soils, and deep caves may be especially useful as we explore what could work under Martian conditions. The work centers on a partnership between two bacteria: Sporosarcina pasteurii (巴氏芽孢八叠球菌), which is known for creating calcium carbonate, and Chroococcidiopsis (拟甲色球藻), a strong cyanobacterium that can survive extreme environments, including simulated (模拟的) Martian conditions. Together, they transform loose soil into a solid, concrete - like material. The long-term vision is to combine this bacterial co-culture with Martian soil and use it as feedstock (原料) for 3D printing on Mars.

One useful technique to improve your writing flow is maintaining consistency (一致性). One key element of maintaining consistency is tense consistency. Decide whether you’re writing in the past, present, or future tense. ____17____ Unnecessary changes in tense can make your writing seem unclear. For example, avoid sentences that jump between “He walked to the store” and “He is buying milk”. ____18____ Choose your pronouns carefully. Are you writing in the first person (“I” or “we”), second person (“you”), or third person (“he”, “she”, “it” or “they”)? Once you’ve made your choice, stick with it. Changing pronouns can create confusion. If you are writing about a particular person, make sure to use the same pronouns to refer to them. Be mindful of perspective (角度) changes, especially in creative writing. If you start a scene from one character’s perspective, avoid suddenly jumping into another character’s thoughts and feelings without a clear transition (过渡). Sudden changes can mislead the reader and weaken the impact of your story. ____19____ In summary, consistency is achieved through careful attention to tense and pronoun usage, and by avoiding sudden and confusing changes in perspective. ____20____ In this way, you can make the reading experience enjoyable and help the audience grasp the intended message more easily. A. It helps guide the reader effortlessly. B. Similarly, pay close attention to pronoun consistency. C. Stick to it unless there’s a reasonable reason to change. D. Effective writing isn’t just about getting your ideas down. E. If a change is necessary, use specific techniques to signal the change. F. Mastering these skills can help ensure your writing is clear and engaging. G. Improving your writing flow is not a one-time achievement but a journey. 第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The sun shines brightly on the dried leaves of a field in Guazapa, a quiet corner of El Salvador.

She often delayed her school assignments. Her weekends were usually filled with dreams of hanging out with friends, or staying at her grandparents’ house, where she would enjoy herself and play freely with some of her friends. One weekend, Renny planned to go to her grandparents’ place. When her mother asked if she had any schoolwork to complete, Renny shook her head and said no, hiding the fact that she had a math assignment due soon. Her mother agreed to drop her off, reminding her to practice her math skills. Renny promised she would study later, but the weekend passed quickly with fun and relaxation. By the time Monday arrived, she had completely forgotten about the assignment. Walking into the classroom, panic swept over her. When her teacher asked for the assignment, Renny lied that she had forgotten it at home. The teacher simply told her to bring it the next day. Relieved, Renny thought the small lie had solved everything. But when the next day came, she still had not done the work. She made up another excuse, saying her cousin had spilled ink on it. The teacher raised an eyebrow doubtfully, so Renny quickly invented a story about a visiting cousin. Her friend asked how long the cousin was staying, and Renny answered, “Until Saturday,” adding another layer to her lie. That evening, her mother mentioned that the teacher had called about the missing assignment. Renny insisted she had already submitted it, claiming the teacher must have forgotten. The lies began to grow, each one demanding another to hold them up. Her friend later questioned her about the cousin, and Renny struggled to keep the story straight, nervously saying he had left early. Renny started to feel trapped. At home, she sensed doubt in her mother’s voice. At school, her teacher’s gaze seemed sharper, and her friend grew distant. The small lie had grown into a web she could not escape. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Then one day, the truth came out. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After admitting everything, Renny felt a mix of shame and relief. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
