Most Walkable Places to See in Spring
Whether you’re wandering the quiet streets of a town or uncovering the beauty of a historic neighborhood, walking allows you to experience a destination in its purest form. Here are some of the most walkable places to enjoy this spring.
Lucca, Italy
While Florence and Rome may attract more tourists, Lucca remains a cultural treasure in Tuscany that is well worth exploring. The city is famous for its well-preserved walls that once defended the historic city center. Walking along the tree-lined top of the walls, visitors can enjoy some of the finest views over the historic rooftops and the surrounding Tuscan countryside.
Cape Town, South Africa
Cape Town is a culturally diverse city with something for every traveler. The most walkable area is the V&A Waterfront, which is full of various shops, restaurants and bars. The views here are excellent: Visitors can see the sea on one side and the famous Table Mountain on the other. To see amazing sights from the peak, visitors can take a cable car (缆车) up the mountain from another part of the city.
Knightsbridge, United Kingdom
Knightsbridge is one of London’s richest and most walkable areas, where high-end living meets easy access. Walking through its beautiful streets, you shouldn’t miss the famous Harrods department store and the many old Victorian buildings around it. You can also spend time in the peaceful local parks to enjoy the scenery.
Zurich, Switzerland
Zurich combines old-world beauty with modern convenience, ranking among Europe’s best cities for walking. The Old Town has narrow, winding streets, ancient buildings and important historical sites. Walkers can relax in the city’s well-maintained parks or take pleasant paths along Lake Zurich, which can offer delightful walks with views of the distant mountains.

In the summer of 2025, when a fire swept through the Miller family’s home, they lost almost everything. Among the lost items was a photograph — one that showed the family gathered around the Thanksgiving table years ago. It was not just a picture but a memory of a happy moment when everyone was together.
James Miller felt that losing the photo was like losing a piece of their family story. Then he learned about a local artist named Elena Vance, who deeply cares about people’s suffering and shares in their pain, hoping to use art to help ease their sadness. She offered to help people like him by painting their lost memories — not from photographs, but from the descriptions they could give.
Elena asked each family member to describe the scene in their own words. She gathered all these pieces of memory like putting together a puzzle. Using these stories, Elena began to paint. She did not try to copy a missing photo exactly. Instead, she wanted to express the feeling of that evening — the soft light, the happy faces and the sense of being together. She used warm colors and gentle brushwork to show not just people around a table, but a family connected by love.
When the Miller family saw the finished painting, they were deeply moved. The painting did more than show a scene — it brought back the emotion, the warmth and the unity they had felt.
Elena normally sells her artwork, but for families who had lost everything, she painted for free. “Personal income is not what matters; the key is that art can heal the human heart,” she explained.
Elena has been painting for those who have lost their memories in the disaster. From people’s descriptions, beautiful scenes come to life on paper — family trips at sunset, starlit barbecue nights, a spring garden proposal, a child’s peaceful nap, and walking pets through flowers. Life’s beauty lives in these scenes. Our real treasures aren’t possessions but shared moments with loved ones.
24. What happened to James Miller in the summer of 2025?
A. He left his childhood house. B. His house was burned down.
C. He lost a beloved family member. D. His valuable painting went up in flames.
25. What did Elena focus on in the painting?
A. The vividness of figures. B. The great details of the scene.
C. The exact background of the story. D. The emotional atmosphere of the dinner.
26. Which of the following can best describe Elena?
A. Flexible and creative. B. Sympathetic and selfless.
C. Responsible and generous. D. Talented and knowledgeable.
27. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Happy Family Reunion: The Best Thanksgiving Ever B. Heal Broken Hearts: Painting Memories from Words
C. Live in the Moment: Life Is Better with Loved Ones D. Inspiration from Nature: Rewarding Life of an Artist
C
What do you do to be healthy? Let’s say you follow the advice of doctors, health blogs, and wellness influencers perfectly. You walk 10,000 steps a day. You get eight hours of quality sleep at night. You eat plenty of fresh vegetables and avoid processed foods. Your physical and mental health improve as a result — but only up to a point.
Traditional health advice overlooks a vital element: human connection. Your relationships can determine how long you live, and your social interactions influence whether or not you will develop certain diseases like heart disease and depression. Health is not only physical or mental. It is also social. While physical health concerns the body and mental health the mind, social health centers on relationships. Being socially healthy requires establishing bonds, belonging to communities, and feeling supported, valued, and loved.
Today, social health shows widespread decline. According to Gallup, 330 million adults around the globe suffer through weeks at a time without speaking to a single family member or friend, and 20% of all adults worldwide don’t have anyone to seek help from. This lack of connection is dangerous, increasing people’s risk of stroke (中风) by 32%, dementia (痴呆) by 50% and early death by 29%.
Most people underestimate the importance of relationships for health. A 2018 survey in the US and UK found people perceived relational factors like social support as far less important for life expectancy than factors like smoking or exercise. However, in fact, researchers found social integration and social support were the number one and number two biggest predictors of risk of death.
While the impact of factors like smoking and exercise are well known, we clearly have a long way to go toward a broad understanding that connection is a vital determinant of overall health, wellbeing and life expectancy.
28. What is overlooked by traditional health advice?
A. Sufficient quality sleep. B. Balanced nutritional diet.
C. Meaningful social bonds. D. Regular physical activity.
29. How is the harm of the lack of connection demonstrated?
A. By citing expert opinions. B. By surveying isolated groups.
C. By comparing mental conditions. D. By presenting statistical data.
30. What does the 2018 survey reveal?
A. People ignore physical exercise. B. People undervalue social support.
C. Smoking ranked third in death risk. D. Life expectancy falls worldwide.
31. Which statement best reflects the author’s main argument?
A. A good rest cures all illness. B. A daily chat can outrun a pill.
C. A healthy diet can replace hugs. D. A walk alone ensures a longer life.
D
This month, the Internet was flooded with amazing digital art portraits (肖像). Users uploaded their photographs to the app and then — for a small fee — it used AI to transform their pictures into, say, a magical warrior princess version of themselves, in no time at all. This year has seen a breakthrough for AI-driven image generators, which are “trained” on millions of pieces of image and text data got from publicly available content online. Anyone can now produce professional-looking images, without having any training in art or design themselves.
Those working in the more cognitive creative industries have long felt that they had nothing to fear about automation. After all, how could a computer ever recreate the quality of a masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci? Early images generated with these tools were full of blemishes, such as a lack of diversity in the data, which marked them as machine-made. But as the results have become more convincing, those image generators cause concern.
Anyone inclined (倾向于) to regard the idea that AI can take over creative jobs as a rumor should know: it is already happening. These tools’ ability to create imagery in the style of specific artists is fun, but when it comes to living artists who have spent years developing their own distinctive style, this isn’t at all brilliant. Fantasy art illustrator Greg Rutkowski found that his name was one of the most popular prompts on the AI platforms. “The only thing that could at least stop feeding the algorithm (算法) is to stop posting your work on the Internet, which is impossible in our industry,” said Rutkowski.
Some artists have been working to develop solutions. Among them are Berlin-based artists Mat Dryhurst and Holly Herndon. They have created a search function that anyone can use to see whether their work has been collected for LAION, which is used to train most AI image generators. Their organization, Spawning, is also developing another tool that would allow artists to set permissions on how their style and paintings can be used.
Most artists believe that technology could open up possibilities for them to make better work, or at least to work more efficiently. “I see it less as a headache and more of an opportunity,” the UK-based illustrator Michelle Thompson said. “Like everything else, there will always be artists who can use the tools better.”
32. What do we know about AI-driven image generators?
A. They are undergoing free trials. B. They provide restricted instant service.
C. They are trained on vast numbers of online artworks. D. They assist non-professionals in taking better pictures.
33. What does the underlined word “blemishes” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Wonders. B. Coincidences. C. Comments. D. Shortcomings.
34. What do Greg Rutkowski’s words convey to us?
A. AI is posing a threat to creative jobs. B. Artists’ works are falling behind those of AI.
C. Artists’ rising to fame is a double-edged sword. D. AI is simplifying the working process of artists.
35. What is most artists’ attitude towards AI-driven image generators?
A. Critical. B. Positive. C. Indifferent. D. Contradictory.
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。
People favor humor, as it lights up daily moments, eases awkwardness and makes every interaction warm and enjoyable. This magic of humor doesn’t just work in daily life; it also shines in the field of science, especially online. ____36____.
Firstly, humor simplifies tough scientific knowledge. ____37____. For example, explaining AI in self-driving cars with a funny analogy about “machines learning like clumsy toddlers” makes abstract ideas easy for non-professional groups to understand. ____38____ Scientists sharing clever and humorous stories about laboratory experiments on social media often attract more interactions than dry academic posts. Additionally, humor humanizes scientists, as seen in popular science lectures where light-hearted jokes help audiences feel closer to researchers.
____39____ The hidden risks deserve our attention. If the content itself is untrue, humor can even replace facts, leading the audience to form wrong opinions about scientific knowledge just based on the amusing posts they see. Overusing sarcasm or negative humor also has the opposite effect, as it will quickly make scientists lose the public’s trust and damage their credibility.
Proper humor use requires a balance between vivid expression and professional precision. It should neither overshadow the core scientific information nor be so shallow that it loses seriousness. ____40____ Scientists who master this balance can effectively narrow the divide with the public, making science more welcoming and popular.
A. It is believed that humor needs to be used with great care in such communication.
B. Overuse harms professionalism.
C. It also boosts audience engagement effectively.
D. It helps break the impression of scientists being cold and distant.
E. A little humor can greatly enhance scientists’ communication effect.
F. Humor in scientific communication is a double-edged sword, though.
G. It’s a helper in making complex concepts understandable to ordinary people.

I attended a summer barbecue recently. As soon as I arrived, I found myself ____41____ there. While everyone else was in shorts, I was the only one wearing long pants. Why did I dress like that? Simple: I was not ____42____ about my legs.
For years, I had ____43____ my weight. By the time I graduated from college, I weighed over 450 pounds. However, I didn’t give up and finally lost over 250 pounds. Of course, the journey came with its own ____44____: the stretch marks and loose skin. Even though I knew losing weight helped me feel freer, the old self-consciousness (自我意识) could ____45____ when I least expected it.
It was at that barbecue that the weight of ____46____ returned. I caught myself wondering: If I wore shorts, would people be staring at my loose skin and the stretch marks on my legs? Suddenly, it felt like I was back with the “old me”, the one who always worried about other people’s ____47____.
Then it hit me: ____48____ wasn’t protecting me. It was ____49____ my presence, fun and freedom. If I, who lost over 250 pounds and maintained the weight for two decades, can’t own my body ____50____, who will? My loose skin isn’t a sign of shame; it’s ____51____ of survival and transformation.
If someone chooses to stare and criticize, it ____52____ who they are far more than who I am. So I’m committed to feeling ____53____ in future. I ____54____ that freedom, and so do you. Whether your journey is about weight or something else, start ____55____ yourself right now.

67. 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。
It was a lazy July day on the sea, about 40 miles off the coast. The sky was clear, the sea was calm, and there was only a gentle breeze. Andrew and his son Jack had been fishing all morning but caught nothing. They were almost alone on the water — until they saw a small dot in the distance. As it came closer, they realized it was a boat, heading straight toward them!
Andrew quickly turned their boat to avoid a crash. The boat sped past them. To their surprise, no one was on deck — though the engine was still running and music was playing loudly. “The captain must be below,” Andrew thought. But what if something was wrong?
They decided to follow the boat. After trying to get the captain’s attention with shouts and an air horn, they grew worried. Maybe the captain was ill or injured. Jack jumped onto the boat and stopped the engine. He went down into the cabin, but came up looking puzzled. “No one is here,” he said.
They called the Coast Guard to report a “man overboard.” Then, curious to find out what happened, they checked the boat’s GPS. They found that the captain had marked several fishing spots along the way, but the marks stopped suddenly a few miles away.
Andrew and Jack decided to search the area. They began sailing in wide circles, hoping to find the missing person — but fearing the worst. What they didn’t know was that, not far away, a man was struggling in the water, losing hope.
Earlier that day, the boat’s owner, Sam, had been fishing alone when he accidentally fell overboard. He tried to grab the boat but failed. Without a life jacket, he watched helplessly as his boat sailed away. Now he was tired and cold, trying to swim toward where he thought other boats might be.
Just when Sam felt he could not go on, he saw a boat in the distance. It seemed to be moving in a strange way — going forward, then turning around. It was his only chance. He waved and shouted with all his strength.
注意:
(1) 续写词数应为150左右;
(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The boat turned and began moving steadily toward Sam. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Back on the boat, Sam could hardly believe he was safe. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

W: That’ll bring us within five miles of the camp, but there are no direct paths through the fields, and they’re all uphill.
M: That’s right. It’ll make the journey a bit longer.
W: A few more miles won’t hurt. Come on, let’s go. It’ll be dark soon.

In the summer of 2025, when a fire swept through the Miller family’s home, they lost almost everything. Among the lost items was a photograph — one that showed the family gathered around the Thanksgiving table years ago. It was not just a picture but a memory of a happy moment when everyone was together.
James Miller felt that losing the photo was like losing a piece of their family story. Then he learned about a local artist named Elena Vance, who deeply cares about people’s suffering and shares in their pain, hoping to use art to help ease their sadness. She offered to help people like him by painting their lost memories — not from photographs, but from the descriptions they could give.
Elena asked each family member to describe the scene in their own words. She gathered all these pieces of memory like putting together a puzzle. Using these stories, Elena began to paint. She did not try to copy a missing photo exactly. Instead, she wanted to express the feeling of that evening — the soft light, the happy faces and the sense of being together. She used warm colors and gentle brushwork to show not just people around a table, but a family connected by love.
When the Miller family saw the finished painting, they were deeply moved. The painting did more than show a scene — it brought back the emotion, the warmth and the unity they had felt.
Elena normally sells her artwork, but for families who had lost everything, she painted for free. “Personal income is not what matters; the key is that art can heal the human heart,” she explained.
Elena has been painting for those who have lost their memories in the disaster. From people’s descriptions, beautiful scenes come to life on paper — family trips at sunset, starlit barbecue nights, a spring garden proposal, a child’s peaceful nap, and walking pets through flowers. Life’s beauty lives in these scenes. Our real treasures aren’t possessions but shared moments with loved ones.
24. What happened to James Miller in the summer of 2025?
A. He left his childhood house. B. His house was burned down.
C. He lost a beloved family member. D. His valuable painting went up in flames.
25. What did Elena focus on in the painting?
A. The vividness of figures. B. The great details of the scene.
C. The exact background of the story. D. The emotional atmosphere of the dinner.
26. Which of the following can best describe Elena?
A. Flexible and creative. B. Sympathetic and selfless.
C. Responsible and generous. D. Talented and knowledgeable.
27. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Happy Family Reunion: The Best Thanksgiving Ever B. Heal Broken Hearts: Painting Memories from Words
C. Live in the Moment: Life Is Better with Loved Ones D. Inspiration from Nature: Rewarding Life of an Artist
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. B 27. B
【解析】

What do you do to be healthy? Let’s say you follow the advice of doctors, health blogs, and wellness influencers perfectly. You walk 10,000 steps a day. You get eight hours of quality sleep at night. You eat plenty of fresh vegetables and avoid processed foods. Your physical and mental health improve as a result — but only up to a point.
Traditional health advice overlooks a vital element: human connection. Your relationships can determine how long you live, and your social interactions influence whether or not you will develop certain diseases like heart disease and depression. Health is not only physical or mental. It is also social. While physical health concerns the body and mental health the mind, social health centers on relationships. Being socially healthy requires establishing bonds, belonging to communities, and feeling supported, valued, and loved.
Today, social health shows widespread decline. According to Gallup, 330 million adults around the globe suffer through weeks at a time without speaking to a single family member or friend, and 20% of all adults worldwide don’t have anyone to seek help from. This lack of connection is dangerous, increasing people’s risk of stroke (中风) by 32%, dementia (痴呆) by 50% and early death by 29%.
Most people underestimate the importance of relationships for health. A 2018 survey in the US and UK found people perceived relational factors like social support as far less important for life expectancy than factors like smoking or exercise. However, in fact, researchers found social integration and social support were the number one and number two biggest predictors of risk of death.
While the impact of factors like smoking and exercise are well known, we clearly have a long way to go toward a broad understanding that connection is a vital determinant of overall health, wellbeing and life expectancy.
28. What is overlooked by traditional health advice?
A. Sufficient quality sleep. B. Balanced nutritional diet.
C. Meaningful social bonds. D. Regular physical activity.
29. How is the harm of the lack of connection demonstrated?
A. By citing expert opinions. B. By surveying isolated groups.
C. By comparing mental conditions. D. By presenting statistical data.
30. What does the 2018 survey reveal?
A. People ignore physical exercise. B. People undervalue social support.
C. Smoking ranked third in death risk. D. Life expectancy falls worldwide.
31. Which statement best reflects the author’s main argument?
A. A good rest cures all illness. B. A daily chat can outrun a pill.
C. A healthy diet can replace hugs. D. A walk alone ensures a longer life.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要论述了社交关系对健康的重要性,指出传统健康建议忽视了社交健康这一关键因素。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Traditional health advice overlooks a vital element: human connection.(传统的健康建议忽略了一个关键因素:人际联系)”可知,传统健康建议忽视了有意义的人际联系。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“This lack of connection is dangerous, increasing people’s risk of stroke (中风) by 32%, dementia (痴呆) by 50% and early death by 29%.(这种缺乏联系的情况很危险,会使人们患中风的风险增加32%,患痴呆的风险增加50%,早逝的风险增加29%)”可知,文章通过列举统计数据来展示缺乏联系的危害。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“A 2018 survey in the US and UK found people perceived relational factors like social support as far less important for life expectancy than factors like smoking or exercise.(2018年美英的一项调查发现,人们认为社交支持等关系因素对预期寿命的影响远不如吸烟或锻炼等因素重要)”可知,2018年的调查显示人们低估了社交支持的重要性。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容,尤其是第二段中“Health is not only physical or mental. It is also social.(健康不仅仅是身体或心理上的。它也是社交上的)”和最后一段中“we clearly have a long way to go toward a broad understanding that connection is a vital determinant of overall health, wellbeing and life expectancy(我们显然还有很长的路要走,才能广泛理解人际联系是整体健康、幸福和预期寿命的关键决定因素)”可知,文章主要强调社交关系对健康的重要性,甚至可能超过药物或锻炼的作用。“A daily chat can outrun a pill.(每天聊天胜过吃药)”最能反映作者的主要论点。

This month, the Internet was flooded with amazing digital art portraits (肖像). Users uploaded their photographs to the app and then — for a small fee — it used AI to transform their pictures into, say, a magical warrior princess version of themselves, in no time at all. This year has seen a breakthrough for AI-driven image generators, which are “trained” on millions of pieces of image and text data got from publicly available content online. Anyone can now produce professional-looking images, without having any training in art or design themselves.
Those working in the more cognitive creative industries have long felt that they had nothing to fear about automation. After all, how could a computer ever recreate the quality of a masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci? Early images generated with these tools were full of blemishes, such as a lack of diversity in the data, which marked them as machine-made. But as the results have become more convincing, those image generators cause concern.
Anyone inclined (倾向于) to regard the idea that AI can take over creative jobs as a rumor should know: it is already happening. These tools’ ability to create imagery in the style of specific artists is fun, but when it comes to living artists who have spent years developing their own distinctive style, this isn’t at all brilliant. Fantasy art illustrator Greg Rutkowski found that his name was one of the most popular prompts on the AI platforms. “The only thing that could at least stop feeding the algorithm (算法) is to stop posting your work on the Internet, which is impossible in our industry,” said Rutkowski.
Some artists have been working to develop solutions. Among them are Berlin-based artists Mat Dryhurst and Holly Herndon. They have created a search function that anyone can use to see whether their work has been collected for LAION, which is used to train most AI image generators. Their organization, Spawning, is also developing another tool that would allow artists to set permissions on how their style and paintings can be used.
Most artists believe that technology could open up possibilities for them to make better work, or at least to work more efficiently. “I see it less as a headache and more of an opportunity,” the UK-based illustrator Michelle Thompson said. “Like everything else, there will always be artists who can use the tools better.”
32. What do we know about AI-driven image generators?
A. They are undergoing free trials. B. They provide restricted instant service.
C. They are trained on vast numbers of online artworks. D. They assist non-professionals in taking better pictures.
33. What does the underlined word “blemishes” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Wonders. B. Coincidences. C. Comments. D. Shortcomings.
34. What do Greg Rutkowski’s words convey to us?
A. AI is posing a threat to creative jobs. B. Artists’ works are falling behind those of AI.
C. Artists’ rising to fame is a double-edged sword. D. AI is simplifying the working process of artists.
35. What is most artists’ attitude towards AI-driven image generators?
A. Critical. B. Positive. C. Indifferent. D. Contradictory.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了当下AI图像生成工具风靡网络,随着生成效果越来越逼真,其模仿在世艺术家风格、无偿取用作品训练算法的问题引发创作者担忧,部分艺术家开始研发维权工具,而大多数艺术家对 AI 技术持积极态度。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第一段“This year has seen a breakthrough for AI-driven image generators, which are “trained” on millions of pieces of image and text data got from publicly available content online.(今年,人工智能图像生成器取得了突破性进展,它们依托从网络公开资源中获取的数百万条图像和文本数据进行训练。)”可知,人工智能图像生成器依托海量网络艺术相关作品数据进行训练。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据原文第二段“Early images generated with these tools were full of blemishes, such as a lack of diversity in the data, which marked them as machine-made.(这些工具早期生成的图像存在诸多blemishes,例如数据缺乏多样性,这也让作品一眼就能被看出是机器生成的。)”可知,后文举例是AI早期作品存在的不足、缺陷,可推知blemishes意为 “缺点、瑕疵”。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第三段““The only thing that could at least stop feeding the algorithm is to stop posting your work on the Internet, which is impossible in our industry,” said Rutkowski.(Rutkowski说:“唯一能阻止为算法提供素材的办法就是停止在网上发布作品,而这在我们行业根本行不通。”)”及“These tools’ ability to create imagery in the style of specific artists is fun, but when it comes to living artists who have spent years developing their own distinctive style, this isn’t at all brilliant. Fantasy art illustrator Greg Rutkowski found that his name was one of the most popular prompts on the AI platforms.(这类工具能够模仿特定艺术家的风格进行图像创作,这看似很有趣;但对于耗费多年心血形成个人独特风格的在世艺术家而言,这绝非好事。奇幻插画师格Greg Rutkowski发现,他的名字是各大AI平台上最热门的风格指令关键词之一。)”可知,AI随意借用他的画风来生成作品,不用付费、不经授权,Greg Rutkowski的话说明AI正在侵害艺术家权益,给创意类工作带来威胁。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第五段“Most artists believe that technology could open up possibilities for them to make better work, or at least to work more efficiently.(大多数艺术家认为,这项技术能够为他们开拓创作新思路,创作出更好的作品,至少也能提升工作效率。)”可知,大多数艺术家对人工智能图像生成器持积极认可的态度。
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。
People favor humor, as it lights up daily moments, eases awkwardness and makes every interaction warm and enjoyable. This magic of humor doesn’t just work in daily life; it also shines in the field of science, especially online. ____36____.
Firstly, humor simplifies tough scientific knowledge. ____37____. For example, explaining AI in self-driving cars with a funny analogy about “machines learning like clumsy toddlers” makes abstract ideas easy for non-professional groups to understand. ____38____ Scientists sharing clever and humorous stories about laboratory experiments on social media often attract more interactions than dry academic posts. Additionally, humor humanizes scientists, as seen in popular science lectures where light-hearted jokes help audiences feel closer to researchers.
____39____ The hidden risks deserve our attention. If the content itself is untrue, humor can even replace facts, leading the audience to form wrong opinions about scientific knowledge just based on the amusing posts they see. Overusing sarcasm or negative humor also has the opposite effect, as it will quickly make scientists lose the public’s trust and damage their credibility.
Proper humor use requires a balance between vivid expression and professional precision. It should neither overshadow the core scientific information nor be so shallow that it loses seriousness. ____40____ Scientists who master this balance can effectively narrow the divide with the public, making science more welcoming and popular.
A. It is believed that humor needs to be used with great care in such communication.
B. Overuse harms professionalism.
C. It also boosts audience engagement effectively.
D. It helps break the impression of scientists being cold and distant.
E. A little humor can greatly enhance scientists’ communication effect.
F. Humor in scientific communication is a double-edged sword, though.
G. It’s a helper in making complex concepts understandable to ordinary people.
【答案】36. E 37. G 38. C 39. F 40. B

【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:甄家湾村始建于元代,已有七百多年历史。此处为非谓语动词作状语,主语Zhenjiawan village与found之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词founded,位于句首,首字母需大写。
【57题详解】

【60题详解】
考查冠词。句意:他们先选址向阳峭壁,用工具凿出崖壁,再向内开凿形成一处拱形窑洞。arched cave dwelling为可数名词单数,此处表示泛指一处窑洞,arched以元音音素开头,所以用不定冠词an。
【61题详解】

考查动词时态和语态。句意:近年来,新建的窑洞已被改造成民宿客栈;而年代久远的窑洞则得到精心保护,用作民俗博物馆,展示古建风貌与老照片。根据时间状语in recent years需用现在完成时,主语Newly built cave dwellings与transform之间为被动关系,所以用现在完成时的被动语态,且主语为名词复数,所以谓语动词为have been transformed。
【64题详解】
考查副词。句意:近年来,新建的窑洞已被改造成民宿客栈;而年代久远的窑洞则得到精心保护,用作民俗博物馆,展示古建风貌与老照片。此处修饰过去分词preserved,需用副词作状语,careful的副词形式为carefully意为“小心地,仔细地”。

Dear Alec,
I’m delighted to hear about your upcoming visit. I highly recommend a strawberry-picking activity at a local farm located in the countryside. The farm is well-known for its organic strawberries, which are juicy and sweet.

67. 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。
It was a lazy July day on the sea, about 40 miles off the coast. The sky was clear, the sea was calm, and there was only a gentle breeze. Andrew and his son Jack had been fishing all morning but caught nothing. They were almost alone on the water — until they saw a small dot in the distance. As it came closer, they realized it was a boat, heading straight toward them!
Andrew quickly turned their boat to avoid a crash. The boat sped past them. To their surprise, no one was on deck — though the engine was still running and music was playing loudly. “The captain must be below,” Andrew thought. But what if something was wrong?
They decided to follow the boat. After trying to get the captain’s attention with shouts and an air horn, they grew worried. Maybe the captain was ill or injured. Jack jumped onto the boat and stopped the engine. He went down into the cabin, but came up looking puzzled. “No one is here,” he said.
They called the Coast Guard to report a “man overboard.” Then, curious to find out what happened, they checked the boat’s GPS. They found that the captain had marked several fishing spots along the way, but the marks stopped suddenly a few miles away.
Andrew and Jack decided to search the area. They began sailing in wide circles, hoping to find the missing person — but fearing the worst. What they didn’t know was that, not far away, a man was struggling in the water, losing hope.
Earlier that day, the boat’s owner, Sam, had been fishing alone when he accidentally fell overboard. He tried to grab the boat but failed. Without a life jacket, he watched helplessly as his boat sailed away. Now he was tired and cold, trying to swim toward where he thought other boats might be.
Just when Sam felt he could not go on, he saw a boat in the distance. It seemed to be moving in a strange way — going forward, then turning around. It was his only chance. He waved and shouted with all his strength.
注意:
(1) 续写词数应为150左右;
(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The boat turned and began moving steadily toward Sam. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Back on the boat, Sam could hardly believe he was safe. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
The boat turned and began moving steadily toward Sam. His heart pounded with a mix of hope and disbelief. Weak from exhaustion, he forced his arms to wave, shouting with what little strength remained. Two figures stood on the deck, leaning over the side. Soon, strong hands reached down, grasped his wrists, and pulled him out of the cold water. Shivering and breathing heavily, Sam lay on the familiar deck, looking up at the faces of two strangers. “Thank you,” he whispered, tears mixing with seawater on his face. Andrew wrapped a dry blanket around his shoulders while Jack handed him a bottle of water. In that moment, Sam felt an overwhelming relief wash over him.
Back on the boat, Sam could hardly believe he was safe. He explained how he had slipped and fallen overboard, watching helplessly as his boat drifted away. Andrew smiled warmly and said, “We’re just glad we found you in time.” As they headed back to shore, Sam realized how lucky he was — not only to be alive, but to have been found by such kind and determined people. That evening, after reporting to the Coast Guard and ensuring Sam was fully recovered, Andrew and Jack drove him home. Before parting, Sam shook their hands firmly, his voice filled with emotion: “You didn’t just save my life. You gave me back my faith in people.”
