B At 27, as a new mother, I had been wrestling with stress and worry, which led me to explore acupuncture. A friend’s firm recommendation inspired me to book my first session. I chose Ora, a clinic I had visited during its grand opening in 2020, drawn to its environment and knowledgeable staff. Though the cost — $130 for an initial 65-minute session — was high, I viewed it as an investment in my well-being. Before the appointment, I researched how to prepare: eating a meal to stabilize blood sugar and avoiding medicine to ensure relaxation. Upon arriving at Ora, I was struck by the calming atmosphere. After a brief consultation with my acupuncturist, Sian James, who evaluated my lifestyle and health concerns, I changed into a towel and lay down. James checked my tongue, noting its red tip as a sign of stress, and explained how it guided her needle placement. She inserted 10-13 thin needles into my forehead, wrists, chest, knees, and feet. The slight pain was tolerable, and she explained that the selected points were targeted to stimulate my nervous system and release biochemicals to address stress. Once the needles were in place, I rested for 20-25 minutes in a dimly lit room with calming music. Initially tense, I eventually relaxed, drifting into a quiet state — deeply calm yet aware of my surroundings. When James removed the needles, I felt a profound sense of quiet that lasted the entire day. She advised avoiding tiring activities to maintain the effects. While the calmness faded by Monday morning, the experience was impactful. Acupuncture forced me to pause, breathe, and disconnect from life’s pressures. Though not a cure-all, acupuncture is a valuable tool for managing stress. As a person who struggled to unwind, I found it incredibly effective, and now, I plan to incorporate it into my routine. It’s a reminder to prioritize self-care. Otherwise, I couldn’t handle my busy work and daily life. 4. Why did the author decide to explore acupuncture? A. Because of a sports injury. B. Because of financial investment. C. Because of emotional anxiety. D. Because of a firm’s recommendation. 5. What can be inferred about the acupuncturist’s treatment approach? A. It relied on surroundings over needles. B. It used finger pressure instead of needles. C. It combined examination with assessment. D. It prioritized observation over communication. 6. How did the author feel after having acupuncture? A. Tired. B. Pressured. C. Cautious. D. Peaceful. 7. What does the author learn from her experience? A. Rome wasn’t built in a day. B. You can’t pour from an empty cup. C. Busy hands make a happy heart. D. A calm sea does not make a skilled sailor. C A group of blue-faced birds step through the grass shoulder to shoulder, red eyes looking around. They look like middle school students lining up to do a group task. But these are not humans — they are a special species called the blue-faced honeyeater, native to the forests of eastern Australia. Unlike most birds that raise their babies alone, these honeyeaters never work alone. Their social groups usually have 2 to 6 members, and all of them share the work of building nests, finding food and protecting baby birds. A 3-year research by Australian biologists found that a single group of blue-faced honeyeaters can spend more than 12 hours a day looking for insects and sweet plant juice to feed their 2 or 3 little chicks. This unusual “team parenting” behavior used to puzzle scientists for a long time. For years, researchers argued about why these birds would give up their own chance to raise babies, and spend all their energy helping others. After years of field observation, the team finally found the secret: most of the “helpers” in the group are the grown-up babies of the main pair of parent birds. They choose to stay and help their parents raise new brothers and sisters, instead of going out to build their own families. The biologists also found an interesting rule: the larger the group is, the higher the survival rate of the baby birds. In small groups of 2 birds, only 28% of the chicks can grow into adults. But in groups with 5 or more members, the rate jumps to over 60%. More helpers mean more food, better protection from natural enemies, and less chance that the whole group will die from accidents. Now the blue-faced honeyeater has become a new star in wildlife science. Their special team spirit is not just a funny natural phenomenon — it also tells us a simple truth that humans have long known: working together can create a far better result than working alone. 8. What is the special feature of the blue-faced honeyeater? A. They have blue eyes and red faces. B. They finish parenting work as a team. C. They can finish group tasks like humans. D. They live alone in Australian forests. 9. Why do some honeyeaters choose to be “helpers” instead of raising their own babies? A. They are not able to find their own partners. B. They want to learn skills from other adult birds. C. They are the grown - up kids of the parent birds in the group. D. The local environment is too bad for them to build nests. 10. What can we learn from the data in Paragraph 4? A. Over 60% of the baby birds can survive in all groups. B. Small groups are better at protecting baby birds. C. The size of the group influences the survival rate of chicks. D. The honeyeaters spend 12 hours a day protecting their nests. 11. What is the main purpose of this text? A. To introduce a special Australian bird and its team living behavior. B. To call on people to protect the endangered blue-faced honeyeaters. C. To show different kinds of parenting behaviors in the bird world. D. To compare the living habits of honeyeaters and other birds. D Should humans explore space? If you ask me, I’ll definitely give a positive answer. The exploitation (开发) of space has a direct impact on the lives of humans, as well as the state of our world. Satellites moving around the earth enable communication across the world. connecting people of different continents and broadcasting information worldwide. The Global Positioning System (GPS) can identify our location anywhere. Furthermore, weather satellites can forecast harmful weather conditions which allows humans to prepare for deadly natural disasters and save lives. Space programs can also indirectly contribute to the solution to poverty and world hunger. For example, large plots of land could be used far better if humans applied technologies. The most effective tool is the artificial earth satellite. It can screen areas of land within a very short time, indicating useful measures such as the condition of crops, soil rainfall, and droughts. It can then transmit this information to ground stations on the earth for better use. In recent years, space-based technologies have become an important factor to reach and expand global health objectives. Information provided by remote technologies can be applied to study the epidemiology (流行病学). This data provided by space technologies can monitor disease patterns, understand the environmental causes that spread it, make predictions about where it can spread in the future, and make plans to fight it efficiently. Furthermore, access to better education means better life prospects and opportunities for human beings. Rural communities have disadvantaged access to education and satellite communication technologies are trying to bridge this gap. With the advancement of technology, students can now access any information and connect with peers and teachers in different parts of the world via video conferences and the creation of virtual classrooms. Space exploration is something we can do for future generations. Mankind is using the resources provided on the planet, but these will run out one day. Overpopulation can be an existential threat for all mankind. With the advancement of space technology, it will be wise to use and explore the vast potential of other planets, such as the availability of mining resources on asteroids or other planets. For the exploration of the universe, perhaps the most advantageous of all is that it will unite us to work together for a common purpose, regardless of our differences. 12. What can space exploitation do according to Paragraph 2? A. Improve the traffic on the earth. B. Promote travel between countries. C. Help prevent deadly natural disasters. D. Help humans communicate and exchange information. 13. How can space programs help with poverty and world hunger? A. By benefiting crop production with artificial earth satellites. B. By transporting food worldwide more easily. C. By creating job opportunities for the poor. D. By protecting available land resources. 14. What does the author think of mining resources on other planets? A. Time-wasting B. Arguable. C. Necessary. D. Educational 15. What would be the best title for the text? A. Why Space Exploration Is Important? B. Why Humankind Should Keep Exploring? C. Why We Should Improve Space Technology? D. Why Humans Should Keep Developing Technologies? 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。 As is well known, making art is good for your health.

B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者作为新妈妈，因压力和焦虑选择针灸治疗，并详细描述了治疗过程及感受，最后作者认识到自我照顾的重要性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“At 27, as a new mother, I had been wrestling with stress and worry, which led me to explore acupuncture.(27岁那年，作为一个新妈妈，我一直在与压力和焦虑作斗争，这促使我去尝试针灸)”可知，作者尝试针灸是因为情感焦虑。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“After a brief consultation with my acupuncturist, Sian James, who evaluated my lifestyle and health concerns, I changed into a towel and lay down. James checked my tongue, noting its red tip as a sign of stress, and explained how it guided her needle placement.(在与针灸师希恩·詹姆斯进行了短暂的会诊后，她评估了我的生活方式和健康问题，我换上毛巾躺了下来。詹姆斯检查了我的舌头，注意到舌尖发红是压力的迹象，并解释了这是如何指导她下针的)”可知，针灸师既检查了作者的身体，又评估了作者的生活方式和健康问题，由此可推知，针灸师的治疗方法是结合检查和评估的。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“When James removed the needles, I felt a profound sense of quiet that lasted the entire day.(当詹姆斯取下针时，我感到一种深深的平静，这种感觉持续了一整天)”可知，针灸后作者感到平静。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It’s a reminder to prioritize self-care. Otherwise, I couldn’t handle my busy work and daily life.(这提醒我要优先考虑自我照顾。否则，我无法应付繁忙的工作和日常生活)”可知，作者从自己的经历中学到了自我照顾的重要性，即人得先照顾好自己，才能有余力去处理其他事情，B项“You can’t pour from an empty cup.(你不能从一个空杯子里倒水)”意指要先关爱自己才能付出，与之相符。 C A group of blue-faced birds step through the grass shoulder to shoulder, red eyes looking around. They look like middle school students lining up to do a group task. But these are not humans — they are a special species called the blue-faced honeyeater, native to the forests of eastern Australia. Unlike most birds that raise their babies alone, these honeyeaters never work alone. Their social groups usually have 2 to 6 members, and all of them share the work of building nests, finding food and protecting baby birds. A 3-year research by Australian biologists found that a single group of blue-faced honeyeaters can spend more than 12 hours a day looking for insects and sweet plant juice to feed their 2 or 3 little chicks. This unusual “team parenting” behavior used to puzzle scientists for a long time. For years, researchers argued about why these birds would give up their own chance to raise babies, and spend all their energy helping others. After years of field observation, the team finally found the secret: most of the “helpers” in the group are the grown-up babies of the main pair of parent birds. They choose to stay and help their parents raise new brothers and sisters, instead of going out to build their own families. The biologists also found an interesting rule: the larger the group is, the higher the survival rate of the baby birds. In small groups of 2 birds, only 28% of the chicks can grow into adults. But in groups with 5 or more members, the rate jumps to over 60%. More helpers mean more food, better protection from natural enemies, and less chance that the whole group will die from accidents. Now the blue-faced honeyeater has become a new star in wildlife science. Their special team spirit is not just a funny natural phenomenon — it also tells us a simple truth that humans have long known: working together can create a far better result than working alone. 8. What is the special feature of the blue-faced honeyeater? A. They have blue eyes and red faces. B. They finish parenting work as a team. C. They can finish group tasks like humans. D. They live alone in Australian forests. 9. Why do some honeyeaters choose to be “helpers” instead of raising their own babies? A. They are not able to find their own partners. B. They want to learn skills from other adult birds. C. They are the grown - up kids of the parent birds in the group. D. The local environment is too bad for them to build nests. 10. What can we learn from the data in Paragraph 4? A. Over 60% of the baby birds can survive in all groups. B. Small groups are better at protecting baby birds. C. The size of the group influences the survival rate of chicks. D. The honeyeaters spend 12 hours a day protecting their nests. 11. What is the main purpose of this text? A. To introduce a special Australian bird and its team living behavior. B. To call on people to protect the endangered blue-faced honeyeaters. C. To show different kinds of parenting behaviors in the bird world. D. To compare the living habits of honeyeaters and other birds. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】短文介绍澳大利亚特有的蓝脸吸蜜鸟，讲解其集体育雏的习性、背后原因以及群居带来的生存优势。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Unlike most birds that raise their babies alone, these honeyeaters never work alone. Their social groups usually have 2 to 6 members, and all of them share the work of building nests, finding food and protecting baby birds.(与大多数独自养育幼鸟的鸟类不同，这些吸蜜鸟从不单独行动。它们的社会群体通常有2到6个成员，所有成员共同承担筑巢、觅食和保护幼鸟的工作)”可知，蓝脸吸蜜鸟的特殊之处在于它们以团队形式完成育儿工作。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“After years of field observation, the team finally found the secret: most of the “helpers” in the group are the grown-up babies of the main pair of parent birds. They choose to stay and help their parents raise new brothers and sisters, instead of going out to build their own families.(经过多年的实地观察，研究小组终于发现了这个秘密：群体中的大多数“帮手”是主要亲鸟的成年幼鸟。它们选择留下来帮助父母养育新的兄弟姐妹，而不是出去建立自己的家庭)”可知，一些吸蜜鸟选择成为“帮手”而不是养育自己的幼鸟，是因为它们是群体中亲鸟的成年幼鸟。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The biologists also found an interesting rule: the larger the group is, the higher the survival rate of the baby birds. In small groups of 2 birds, only 28% of the chicks can grow into adults. But in groups with 5 or more members, the rate jumps to over 60%.(生物学家还发现了一个有趣的规律：群体越大，幼鸟的存活率越高。在由2只鸟组成的小群体中，只有28%的幼鸟能长大成年。但在有5只或更多成员的群体中，这一比例跃升至60%以上)”可知，群体的大小会影响幼鸟的存活率。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A group of blue-faced birds step through the grass shoulder to shoulder, red eyes looking around. They look like middle school students lining up to do a group task. But these are not humans — they are a special species called the blue-faced honeyeater, native to the forests of eastern Australia.(一群蓝脸鸟儿并肩穿行在草丛间，红色的双眼警惕地四处张望。它们模样好似列队执行集体任务的中学生。但这并非人类，它们是一种名为蓝脸吸蜜鸟的特有物种，原产于澳大利亚东部的森林)”可知，文章围绕蓝脸吸蜜鸟展开，介绍了它独特的团队养育幼鸟的行为以及群体规模对幼鸟存活率的影响等，所以文章的主要目的是介绍这种特殊的澳大利亚鸟类及其团队生活行为。 D Should humans explore space? If you ask me, I’ll definitely give a positive answer. The exploitation (开发) of space has a direct impact on the lives of humans, as well as the state of our world. Satellites moving around the earth enable communication across the world. connecting people of different continents and broadcasting information worldwide. The Global Positioning System (GPS) can identify our location anywhere. Furthermore, weather satellites can forecast harmful weather conditions which allows humans to prepare for deadly natural disasters and save lives. Space programs can also indirectly contribute to the solution to poverty and world hunger. For example, large plots of land could be used far better if humans applied technologies. The most effective tool is the artificial earth satellite. It can screen areas of land within a very short time, indicating useful measures such as the condition of crops, soil rainfall, and droughts. It can then transmit this information to ground stations on the earth for better use. In recent years, space-based technologies have become an important factor to reach and expand global health objectives. Information provided by remote technologies can be applied to study the epidemiology (流行病学). This data provided by space technologies can monitor disease patterns, understand the environmental causes that spread it, make predictions about where it can spread in the future, and make plans to fight it efficiently. Furthermore, access to better education means better life prospects and opportunities for human beings. Rural communities have disadvantaged access to education and satellite communication technologies are trying to bridge this gap. With the advancement of technology, students can now access any information and connect with peers and teachers in different parts of the world via video conferences and the creation of virtual classrooms. Space exploration is something we can do for future generations. Mankind is using the resources provided on the planet, but these will run out one day. Overpopulation can be an existential threat for all mankind. With the advancement of space technology, it will be wise to use and explore the vast potential of other planets, such as the availability of mining resources on asteroids or other planets. For the exploration of the universe, perhaps the most advantageous of all is that it will unite us to work together for a common purpose, regardless of our differences. 12. What can space exploitation do according to Paragraph 2? A. Improve the traffic on the earth. B. Promote travel between countries. C. Help prevent deadly natural disasters. D. Help humans communicate and exchange information. 13. How can space programs help with poverty and world hunger? A. By benefiting crop production with artificial earth satellites. B. By transporting food worldwide more easily. C. By creating job opportunities for the poor. D. By protecting available land resources. 14. What does the author think of mining resources on other planets? A. Time-wasting B. Arguable. C. Necessary. D. Educational 15. What would be the best title for the text? A. Why Space Exploration Is Important? B. Why Humankind Should Keep Exploring? C. Why We Should Improve Space Technology? D. Why Humans Should Keep Developing Technologies? 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要讲的是人类是否应该探索太空为此话题而展开的讨论，论述了探索太空的重要性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The space exploration has a direct impact on the lives of humans, as well as the state of our world. Satellites moving around the earth enable communication across the world, connecting people of different continents and broadcasting information worldwide. The Global Positioning System(GPS) can identify our location anywhere. Furthermore, weather satellites can forecast harmful weather conditions, which allows humans to prepare for deadly natural disasters and save lives.”（太空探索直接影响着人类的生活，也影响着我们这个世界的现状。环绕地球运行的卫星使全世界的通信成为可能，将不同大陆的人们联系起来，向全世界广播信息。全球定位系统(GPS)可以在任何地方确定我们的位置。此外，气象卫星可以预测有害的天气状况，这使人类能够为致命的自然灾害做好准备，挽救生命。）可知，根据第二段，太空探索可以帮助人类交流和传播信息。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Space programs can also indirectly lead to the solution to poverty and world hunger. For example, large plots of land could be used far better if humans applied technologies. The most effective tool is the artificial earth satellite. It can screen areas of land within a very short time, indicating useful measures, such as the condition of crops, soil, rainfall, and droughts. It can then transmit this information to ground stations on the earth for better use.”（太空计划还可以间接地解决贫困和世界饥饿问题。例如，如果人类应用技术，大片土地可以得到更好地利用。最有效的工具是人造地球卫星。它可以在很短的时间内筛选土地面积，显示有用的措施，如作物状况、土壤、降雨和干旱。然后，它可以将这些信息传输到地球上的地面站，以便更好地使用。）可知，太空计划利用人造地球卫星造福农作物生产来帮助解决贫困和世界饥饿问题。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“With the advancement of space technology, it will be wise to use and explore the vast potential of other planets, such as the availability of mining resources on asteroids or other planets.”（随着太空技术的进步，利用和探索其他行星的巨大潜力将是明智的，例如小行星或其他行星上的采矿资源的可用性。）可推知，作者对在其他星球上开采资源这一行为认为是有必要的。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Should humans explore space? If you ask me, I’ll definitely give a positive answer.(人类应该探索太空吗？如果你问我，我一定会给你肯定的答复)”以及最后一段“For the exploration of the universe, perhaps the most advantageous of all is that it will unite us to work together for a common purpose, regardless of our differences.(对于宇宙的探索来说，也许最有利的是它将把我们团结起来，为了一个共同的目标而努力，不管我们有什么分歧)”结合文章主要讲的是人类是否应该探索太空为此话题而展开的讨论，论述了探索太空的重要性。可知，A选项“为什么太空探索很重要？”最符合文章标题。故选A。 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。 As is well known, making art is good for your health.

And don’t feel like you have to stick to one thing. D. However, developing interest in art takes little time. E. Doing just 10 minutes of art each day can do wonders. F. But you don’ t have to be a full-time artist to get these benefits. G. So, you don’ t even need to finish what you’ re making to feel those health benefits. 【答案】16. F 17. B 18. C 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。艺术创作对人的健康有好处，可以减少压力，改善精神。文章说明了一些建议可以帮助你开始你的创造性艺术习惯。 【16题详解】 根据上文“As is well known, making art is good for your health. It can reduce stress and improve your spirit.(众所周知，创作艺术对你的健康有好处。它可以减少压力，改善你的精神。)”可知，此处提出创作艺术具有积极影响，结合下文 “All you need to do is just make art. And the more you do it, the better. (你所需要做的就是创造艺术。你做得越多越好。)”可知，我们创作艺术，尽力去做到自己的最好，并不需要因为身体健康而去改变信念和理想，因此F项But you don’ t have to be a full-time artist to get these benefits.(但你并不需要成为全职艺术家才能获得这些好处。)，符合语境，承上启下。故选F项。 【17题详解】 根据下文“In fact, there’re no differences in health outcomes between those who are identified as experienced in art and those who aren’t. (事实上，那些被认为有艺术经验的人和那些没有艺术经验的人在健康结果上没有区别。)”可知，有无艺术经验对人的健康没有区别，由此可知本段讲的是“不要要求自己有高超的技能。”，B项Don’ t require yourself to have great skills.(不要要求自己拥有高超的技能。)符合语境。故选B项。 【18题详解】 根据下文“Mix it up — do whatever you’re in the mood for.”(混合来做——做任何你想做的事情。)”可知，空处承接下文说明不要坚持一件事情来做。C项And don’t feel like you have to stick to one thing.(不要觉得你必须坚持一件事。)符合语境。故选C项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Focus on the making and let go of expectations. Once you have your art materials, here comes the fun part. Let yourself get lost in the process and just play. It’s the physical act of making art that causes those feelings of stress relief and positive spirit, not what you make. (专注于创造，放弃期待。一旦你有了艺术材料，接下来就是有趣的部分了。让自己迷失在这个过程中，尽情玩耍吧。是创作艺术的身体行为让你感受到压力的释放和积极的精神，而不是你创作了什么。)”可知，本段提出降低甚至是放弃期待值，我们应关注创作的过程，它所带来的健康益处并不依附于创作结果，在创作过程中就可以感受到，G项So, you don’ t even need to finish what you’ re making to feel those health benefits.(所以，你甚至不需要完成你正在做的事情就能感受到这些健康益处)符合语境。故选G项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Think about making art like any healthy habit. Just as you make time to exercise and hang out with friends, you should make time for your artistic creation. You don’t even need a few hours.(把艺术当成一种健康的习惯。就像你会花时间锻炼身体、和朋友出去玩一样，你也应该花时间进行艺术创作。你甚至不需要几个小时。)”可知，本段提到将艺术当成一种健康习惯，安排给艺术创作的时间不需要太多，由此可知E项Doing just 10 minutes of art each day can do wonders.(每天只做10分钟的艺术就能创造奇迹。)符合文意，表示艺术创作每天只需要很少的时间形成习惯，就会获得极大好处。故选E项。 第三部分 语言运用（共五节，满分 60 分） 第一节 单项选择（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分） 请从所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入句子中的最佳选项。四、完形填空 21. While such disasters brought much sadness and disappointment, the desire ________ the universe did not die. A. to explore B. to be explored C. exploring D. explored 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：尽管这类灾难带来了诸多悲伤与失望，但探索宇宙的渴望并未泯灭。desire后常接动词不定式作后置定语。表示主动关系，用to explore。 22. Festivals are becoming more and more commercial, with businesses ________ advantage of the celebrations. A. to take B. to be taken C. taking D. taken 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：节日变得越来越商业化，商家利用这些庆祝活动。此处为“with + 宾语 + 宾语补足语”的复合结构。固定搭配take advantage of意为“利用”。句中宾语businesses与动词take之间为逻辑上的主动关系，且表示伴随的状态，因此应用现在分词taking作宾语补足语。 23. These words of Dr Lin Qiaozhi give us a look into the heart of this ________ woman. A. to amaze B. to be amazed C. amazing D. amazed 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：林巧稚医生的这些话让我们看到了这位了不起的女性的内心。空格处修饰名词woman，需用形容词作定语。amazing意为“令人惊叹的，了不起的”，表示人或事物本身的特征；amazed意为“感到惊讶的”，表示人的心理感受。此处指“了不起的女性”，应用amazing。 24. Small acts of kindness can leave us ________ and give us strength. A. to touch B. to be touched C. touching D. touched 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：小小的善举能让我们感动，并给予我们力量。分析句子结构可知，本题考查“leave+宾语+宾语补足语”结构，动词touch“感动”与宾语us之间为逻辑上的被动关系，即“我们被感动”，因此需要使用过去分词touched作宾语补足语，符合语境。 25. ________ of all the people still in need of help, Dr Lin opened a private clinic. A. To think B. To be thought C. Thinking D. Thought 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：考虑到所有仍然需要帮助的人，林医生开了一家私人诊所。本句已有谓语动词opened，且空处与主句之间没有连词，所以空处需用非谓语动词。动词think与主句主语Dr Lin之间是逻辑上的主动关系，因此使用现在分词作状语。 26. We often see people around us ________ to help those in trouble. A. to devote B. to be devoted C. devoting D. devoted 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们经常看到周围的人致力于帮助那些处于困境中的人。此处为固定搭配be devoted to意为“致力于”，在句中作非谓语动词。宾语people around us与动词devote之间是逻辑上的动宾关系（即devote oneself to），故使用过去分词devoted作宾语补足语，表示一种状态。 27. From 2021 to 2022, China completed a number of rocket missions ________ its own space station. A. to establish B. to be established C. establishing D. established 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：从2021年到2022年，中国完成了一系列火箭任务，以建立自己的空间站。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语动词completed，且无连词，故空格处应填入非谓语动词。根据句意，完成火箭任务的目的是为了建立空间站，动词不定式（to do）常用来作目的状语；且句子的主语China与动词establish（建立）之间为主动关系，需使用不定式的主动形式to establish。 28. ________ with eating at home, eating out really gives us more convenience. A. To compare B. To be compared C. Comparing D. Compared 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：与在家吃饭相比，在外面吃饭确实给了我们更多的便利。句中gives为谓语动词，设空处应使用非谓语动词作状语。句子的逻辑主语eating out（在外面吃饭）与动词compare（比较）之间是被动关系，且compared with...为固定搭配，意为“与……相比”，故此处应使用过去分词形式。 29. He didn’t attend the meeting, though ________ several times. A. to invite B. to be invited C. inviting D. invited 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：尽管被邀请了好几次，他还是没有参加会议。在though引导的让步状语从句中，当从句主语与主句主语一致，且从句谓语含有be动词时，可以省略从句的主语和be动词。本句完整的从句为“though he was invited several times”，主语he与动词invite之间为被动关系，省略“he was”后保留过去分词invited。 30. The teacher said the homework ________ on time. A. must finish B. must be finished C. can finish D. can be finished 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：老师说作业必须按时完成。句中主语the homework与动词finish之间为逻辑上的被动关系，即作业是被完成的，因此需要使用被动语态。结合句意，老师的要求表示“必须”，应使用情态动词must。含有情态动词的被动语态结构为“情态动词 + be + 过去分词”，即must be finished。 第二节 完形填空（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 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 My son Daniel’s love for surfing began at the age of 13.
