When Jessika Kattah was put in a wheelchair, she knew she wouldn’t be able to walk again.
But she could still fly.
Kattah and other disabled people have found a home once a month at iFly, an indoor skydiving center in Davie, US. Every second Thursday of the month, iFly hosts All Abilities Night, at which individuals with physical challenges can safely try the free-fall simulation in a giant wind tunnel.
And if you’re thinking that floating in a giant wind tunnel is nothing like jumping out of an airplane, Kattah is happy to tell you that you’re wrong.
“You definitely get that feeling of flying,” said Kattah, who did skydiving twice. “But the fact that I’m able to get out of my chair makes it so great. You forget about your disability; you’re just like everybody else.”
The experience is safe and almost anyone can participate. Few people come out without a big smile on their face, and there will be applause from the people sitting in the observation area.
Chuck Petscher, who is blind, had never been the type of person to try anything risky. But recently he decided to give indoor skydiving a shot. “I’ll do this, but I’m not jumping out of an airplane,” he joked.
“When you’re disabled, you usually have to do things in a different way from everybody else,” he said. “Here, you’re doing what everybody else is doing. That’s what turned me on to it.”
This is also why Kattah has started sharing her experiences on a blog. She wants to send a message to people like her that even though they may feel restricted by their disability, they can always do something they never thought they’d be able to do.
“If you want to do something, just do it. Don’t let fear guide you. In the end, you’re going to be so happy you did it,” she says.
4. What’s special about All Abilities Night?
A. One can travel on an airplane.
B. One can jump out of an airplane.
C. It takes place four times a month.
D. It offers special service for the disabled.
5. After experiencing skydiving, most people will .
A. feel regretful
B. feel frightened
C. get a sense of achievement
D. get a sense of responsibility
6. Why did Chuck Petscher try indoor skydiving?
A. He wanted to be appreciated.
B. He liked showing off in public.
C. He could be treated as equals.
D. He was interested in adventures.
7. Why does Kattah share her experience on her blog?
A. To share her joy and excitement.
B. To promote the skydiving center.
C. To offer some suggestions for the disabled.
D. To encourage others to challenge themselves.

Music is not just a set of sounds and rhythms. Its influence on the brain is much deeper than any other human experience. Keep on reading to know all about the amazing power of music.
A recent study suggests that preterm (早产的) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music. A team of experts led by Dr. Manoj Kumar of University of Alberta, Canada, found that music had a beneficial effect on reducing pain for preterm babies experiencing painful medical tests. It also appeared to benefit full-term babies during operations.
Many people experiencing brain damage have speech and movement-related problems. Music can help them recover from brain injuries. As a different and effective treatment, doctors often advise such patients to listen to good music to improve the parts of the brain responsible for these two functions. When people with neurological (神经系统的) disorders hear a musical beat, it helps them to regain a balanced walk.
Though music cannot make deafness disappear, it can really stave off the loss of hearing. There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were musicians. Participants were asked to pass some listening tests. Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians, and this difference got clearer with age. This means that a 70-year-old musician hears better than a 50-year-old non-musician, even in a noisy environment.
Besides, music mends a broken heart. It is not about thrown-away love, but about a heart attack. The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or a heart operation by reducing blood pressure, slowing down the heartbeat rate, and reducing anxiety. Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions, improves the movement of blood, and expands blood vessels, thus, promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular (心血管的) system.
8. How does music affect preterm babies?
A. It helps reduce their pain. B. It helps develop their potential in music.
C. It helps improve their hearing systems. D. It helps repair their cardiovascular systems.
9. What does the underlined phrase “ stave off” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Lead to. B. Increase.
C. Prevent. D. Break into.
10. Why can music mend a broken heart?
A. It can help patients recover in a slow way.
B. It helps make a person feel optimistic all the time.
C. It has a positive effect on human body systems’ work.
D. It can help people prevent diseases caused by anxiety.
11. What may be the best title for text?
A. Who can benefit from music. B. The best time to listen to music.
C. The way to choose quality music. D. How music affects our mind and body.
D
Midway through The Matrix, Cypher feasts on an enormous steak, well aware that his reality is not real, part of a digital program telling his brain that the steak is a construction and that it is “juicy and delicious”. Two decades after the movie made its first appearance, something unexpected arises: The future of reality will not only be virtual but also synthetic (合成的). Cypher’s future meal will be a physical one, synthesized from animal cells.
And the synthesis goes beyond dinner. Starting with components from the natural world, scientists are learning to engineer microorganisms and build biocomputing systems. However, biology has a tendency to evolve in unexpected ways.
Synthesized meat is one case in point. The driving forces behind the meat movement are practical. It has been estimated that cultured (培育的) meat would require 7 to 45 percent less energy and produce 78 to 96 percent less greenhouse gas than conventional animals farmed for consumption. But once we’re able to synthesize meat, theoretically, we’ll have the capability to culture meat from any animal, even those we’d never consider eating today, like dolphins or chimpanzees, which will pose a new regulatory challenge for us.
Using synthetic biology, we can even edit and rewrite life, the technology of which are already in use. In 2021, scientists in some countries announced they had grown monkey embryos injected with human stem cells. Here comes the situation worth considering, such a monkey-human hybrid will demonstrate qualities that are somewhere between humans, on which experimentation isn't allowed, and animals, which are often raised specifically for research. How will we decide when an animal becomes too human?
Depending on where you stand, the synthetic realities land somewhere between “really exciting” and “critically concerning”. As individuals, we undertake a shared responsibility to make good choices about this coming synthetic technology.
12. What do we know about Cypher’s steak in the movie?
A. It is anything but appetizing. B. It is enjoyed in a virtual world.
C. It is synthesized from animal cells. D. It is a construction made by himself.
13. What’s the advantage of synthesized meat?
A. It is more nutritious. B. It is more energy-consuming.
C. It is more environment-friendly. D. It is more controllable in regulation.
14. What can we know about the monkey in Paragraph 4?
A. The monkey has been developed worldwide. B. The monkey looks like a human being.
C. The monkey-human hybrid is very popular. D. The monkey has been put into human stem cells .
15. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To promote synthetic technology.
B. To indicate challenges of synthetic technology.
C. To stress the importance of synthetic technology.
D. To introduce the development of synthetic technology.

Brand New You
We’re always told that no one likes a show-off, but a little bit of boasting (夸耀) does us all the world of good.
Once a year I teach a class on building personal brand to a group of women in the creative industries. At the start I ask each of the attendees how they feel about the phrase “personal brand”. ____16____. Most of them will tell me it feels too much like boasting. By the end of the session, however, there’s a change in mood and it always comes down to one key point that I think everyone should know. So I’m sharing it here!
It’s really quite simple: acknowledging your strengths does not mean you boast yourself. ____17____. But then we do an exercise that proves my point. I put the women in pairs and give them five minutes each to talk about things they love and are good at. When I give the instructions I am greeted by looks of horror. Five minutes?! Only talking about themselves?! What if the other person thinks they’re boasting?
____18____. So is sharing it with others. And yet it’s so lovely to hear someone else share their passion. The room is filled with connection, laughter and joy. And so I tell them, and now you, if you only take one thing away from this workshop let it be this: sharing what you love and are good at-your passion-with someone else, never comes across as boasting.____19____.
And if you want to feel really great today, ask someone to share what they love and are good at with you. If they only talk about what they love, encourage them to tell you why they’re good at it. ____20____. Maybe we’ll all feel better for it.
A. It is a form of connection and a gift
B. Almost everyone feels uneasy about it
C. Many people are impressed by your passion
D. Boast your strengths by building your personal brand
E. Try to create a “boasting culture” in our pride-avoidant society
F. When I say this in the workshop, there are always raised eyebrows
G. Owning what we are good at is an unfamiliar concept in our culture

Two first responders (应急人员) who were once strangers have been forever linked, not by their jobs, but by a selfless organ donation. In 2020, New York City Police Sgt.

His kidneys (肾脏) were failing, ____22____ him to depend on dialysis (透析) to survive.
What Romero did not know was that his second chance at ____23____ came from Lucas Gorelick, a college junior and EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) from the University of Nevada, Reno.

Meanwhile, a fellow officer advised Romero to ____27____ a profile on the organization’s website. Gorelick read Romero’s ____28____ and felt strongly drawn to help, so he volunteered to take a test. Miraculously, they were a ____29____ match.
Though people called him ____30____ and he sometimes had second thoughts, Gorelick ____31____ weighed the risks and rewards. He chose to help someone in desperate ____32____. During his December holiday break, he ____33____ a six-hour transplant surgery, saving Romero’s life.
The two first responders finally met in New York City. Deeply ____34____, Romero called Gorelick an angel. The two now share a lifelong ____35____, just like close brothers.

In our fast-paced modern life, many people feel anxious and lost, often ____36____ (turn) to busy work to escape their inner troubles. However, the book Nature Holds the Answer reminds us that peace and wisdom can always ____37____ (find) in the natural world if we are willing to pause and look around.
The writer records small but wonderful moments from everyday nature — the tender bud of a flower pushing through the soil in spring, the joyful singing of birds at dawn, ____38____ the soft leaves dancing in the wind. These simple scenes, ____39____ are often overlooked, teach us to slow down, observe carefully, and fully enjoy the present.
Nature never ____40____ (rush), yet everything is finished in its own time. A seed becomes a tree, a river carves a valley, and the seasons change without force. From this, we learn the beauty of ____41____ (grow), the power of silence, and the importance of patience. When we feel confused or upset, a quiet walk in the park or a few minutes watching clouds ____42____ (gentle) float across the sky can calm our restless hearts.
This book also encourages us ____43____ (protect) the environment around us. Every tree, every insect, and every river play ____44____ part in the delicate balance of nature. By getting close ____45____ nature, we not only heal our minds but also learn to live in harmony with the world. In truth, nature holds the answers we have been searching for all along.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Tina, a high school student, had a great passion for baking. With her parents’ support, Tina dreamed of opening her own bakery, a place where she could turn her interest into a business. However, she knew the importance of improving her skills and gaining real-world experience.
Therefore, every Saturday, without fail, she would set up a small but charming table at a local park. The park, filled with families and laughter, was the perfect place for Tina to sell her creations. Her table, neatly laid out with colorful homemade cookies and cakes, attracted passers-by with the desserts’ smell.
On a particularly bright and I sunny afternoon, as Tina was carefully arranging her chocolate cookies and cakes, her attention was drawn to an elderly woman sitting alone on a bench. The woman, with her silver hair and sad eyes, seemed lost in thought. As the hours went by, Tina noticed that the woman remained where she was, seemingly forgotten by the world. A sense of concern washed over Tina. So she decided to act. She poured a cup of warm tea carefully and cut a generous slice of her rich chocolate cake, a crowd favorite, and approached the woman.
“I thought you might like some snacks,” Tina said with a warm, inviting smile. The woman’s face lit up as she accepted the treat. “Thank you, dear. I haven’t had such a delicious treat since my retirement,” she responded, her voice soft yet filled with gratitude. As she enjoyed the cake, tears rolled down her face.
A little shocked, Tina asked what had happened. The woman introduced herself as Mrs. Robins, who had been a baker before she retired. Since losing her husband to cancer a week ago, she had been living alone. Her visits to the park were her escape from the loneliness that filled her quiet home. Tina listened attentively, her heart touched by the woman’s story.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Tina decided to help Mrs. Robins out.

When Jessika Kattah was put in a wheelchair, she knew she wouldn’t be able to walk again.
But she could still fly.
Kattah and other disabled people have found a home once a month at iFly, an indoor skydiving center in Davie, US. Every second Thursday of the month, iFly hosts All Abilities Night, at which individuals with physical challenges can safely try the free-fall simulation in a giant wind tunnel.
And if you’re thinking that floating in a giant wind tunnel is nothing like jumping out of an airplane, Kattah is happy to tell you that you’re wrong.
“You definitely get that feeling of flying,” said Kattah, who did skydiving twice. “But the fact that I’m able to get out of my chair makes it so great. You forget about your disability; you’re just like everybody else.”
The experience is safe and almost anyone can participate. Few people come out without a big smile on their face, and there will be applause from the people sitting in the observation area.
Chuck Petscher, who is blind, had never been the type of person to try anything risky. But recently he decided to give indoor skydiving a shot. “I’ll do this, but I’m not jumping out of an airplane,” he joked.
“When you’re disabled, you usually have to do things in a different way from everybody else,” he said. “Here, you’re doing what everybody else is doing. That’s what turned me on to it.”
This is also why Kattah has started sharing her experiences on a blog. She wants to send a message to people like her that even though they may feel restricted by their disability, they can always do something they never thought they’d be able to do.
“If you want to do something, just do it. Don’t let fear guide you. In the end, you’re going to be so happy you did it,” she says.
4. What’s special about All Abilities Night?
A. One can travel on an airplane.
B. One can jump out of an airplane.
C. It takes place four times a month.
D. It offers special service for the disabled.
5. After experiencing skydiving, most people will .
A. feel regretful
B. feel frightened
C. get a sense of achievement
D. get a sense of responsibility
6. Why did Chuck Petscher try indoor skydiving?
A. He wanted to be appreciated.
B. He liked showing off in public.
C. He could be treated as equals.
D. He was interested in adventures.
7. Why does Kattah share her experience on her blog?
A. To share her joy and excitement.

Music is not just a set of sounds and rhythms. Its influence on the brain is much deeper than any other human experience. Keep on reading to know all about the amazing power of music.
A recent study suggests that preterm (早产的) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music. A team of experts led by Dr. Manoj Kumar of University of Alberta, Canada, found that music had a beneficial effect on reducing pain for preterm babies experiencing painful medical tests. It also appeared to benefit full-term babies during operations.
Many people experiencing brain damage have speech and movement-related problems. Music can help them recover from brain injuries. As a different and effective treatment, doctors often advise such patients to listen to good music to improve the parts of the brain responsible for these two functions. When people with neurological (神经系统的) disorders hear a musical beat, it helps them to regain a balanced walk.
Though music cannot make deafness disappear, it can really stave off the loss of hearing. There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were musicians. Participants were asked to pass some listening tests. Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians, and this difference got clearer with age. This means that a 70-year-old musician hears better than a 50-year-old non-musician, even in a noisy environment.
Besides, music mends a broken heart. It is not about thrown-away love, but about a heart attack. The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or a heart operation by reducing blood pressure, slowing down the heartbeat rate, and reducing anxiety. Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions, improves the movement of blood, and expands blood vessels, thus, promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular (心血管的) system.
8. How does music affect preterm babies?
A. It helps reduce their pain. B. It helps develop their potential in music.
C. It helps improve their hearing systems. D. It helps repair their cardiovascular systems.
9. What does the underlined phrase “ stave off” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Lead to. B. Increase.
C. Prevent. D. Break into.
10. Why can music mend a broken heart?
A. It can help patients recover in a slow way.
B. It helps make a person feel optimistic all the time.
C. It has a positive effect on human body systems’ work.
D. It can help people prevent diseases caused by anxiety.
11. What may be the best title for text?
A. Who can benefit from music. B. The best time to listen to music.
C. The way to choose quality music. D. How music affects our mind and body.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了音乐对大脑、身体等方面的积极影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“A recent study suggests that preterm (早产的) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music.(最近的一项研究表明,早产儿在听音乐时似乎会经历更少的疼痛,并且吃得更多)”可知,音乐有助于减少早产儿的疼痛。故选A。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在的前半句“Though music cannot make deafness disappear(虽然音乐不能使耳聋消失)”以及下文“There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were musicians. Participants were asked to pass some listening tests. Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians, and this difference got clearer with age.(有一项实验涉及163人,其中74人是音乐家。实验要求参与者通过一些听力测试。结果显示,音乐家比非音乐家更能清晰地听到声音,而且这种差异随着年龄的增长变得更加明显)”可知,音乐虽不能消除失聪,但对听力有积极作用,可推测 stave off意思是 “防止”,即音乐能防止听力丧失。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or a heart operation by reducing blood pressure, slowing down the heartbeat rate, and reducing anxiety. Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions, improves the movement of blood, and expands blood vessels, thus, promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular (心血管的) system.(问题是,音乐可以通过降低血压、减慢心率和减轻焦虑来帮助人们从心脏病发作或心脏手术中恢复过来。聆听高品质的音乐能产生积极的情绪,促进血液循环,并扩张血管,从而有助于整个心血管系统迅速恢复健康。)”可知,音乐能帮助心脏病患者康复是因为它对人体系统的工作有积极的影响。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Music is not just a set of sounds and rhythms. Its influence on the brain is much deeper than any other human experience.(音乐不仅仅是一系列的声音和节奏。它对大脑的影响比任何其他人类体验都要深刻得多)”以及全文可知,文章主要讲述了音乐对大脑和身体的深远影响,包括对早产儿、脑损伤患者、听力和心脏健康的益处。可知,D选项“音乐如何影响我们的身心”最符合文章标题。故选D。

Midway through The Matrix, Cypher feasts on an enormous steak, well aware that his reality is not real, part of a digital program telling his brain that the steak is a construction and that it is “juicy and delicious”. Two decades after the movie made its first appearance, something unexpected arises: The future of reality will not only be virtual but also synthetic (合成的). Cypher’s future meal will be a physical one, synthesized from animal cells.
And the synthesis goes beyond dinner. Starting with components from the natural world, scientists are learning to engineer microorganisms and build biocomputing systems. However, biology has a tendency to evolve in unexpected ways.
Synthesized meat is one case in point. The driving forces behind the meat movement are practical. It has been estimated that cultured (培育的) meat would require 7 to 45 percent less energy and produce 78 to 96 percent less greenhouse gas than conventional animals farmed for consumption. But once we’re able to synthesize meat, theoretically, we’ll have the capability to culture meat from any animal, even those we’d never consider eating today, like dolphins or chimpanzees, which will pose a new regulatory challenge for us.
Using synthetic biology, we can even edit and rewrite life, the technology of which are already in use. In 2021, scientists in some countries announced they had grown monkey embryos injected with human stem cells. Here comes the situation worth considering, such a monkey-human hybrid will demonstrate qualities that are somewhere between humans, on which experimentation isn't allowed, and animals, which are often raised specifically for research. How will we decide when an animal becomes too human?
Depending on where you stand, the synthetic realities land somewhere between “really exciting” and “critically concerning”. As individuals, we undertake a shared responsibility to make good choices about this coming synthetic technology.
12. What do we know about Cypher’s steak in the movie?
A. It is anything but appetizing. B. It is enjoyed in a virtual world.
C. It is synthesized from animal cells. D. It is a construction made by himself.
13. What’s the advantage of synthesized meat?
A. It is more nutritious. B. It is more energy-consuming.
C. It is more environment-friendly. D. It is more controllable in regulation.
14. What can we know about the monkey in Paragraph 4?
A. The monkey has been developed worldwide. B. The monkey looks like a human being.
C. The monkey-human hybrid is very popular. D. The monkey has been put into human stem cells .
15. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To promote synthetic technology.
B. To indicate challenges of synthetic technology.
C. To stress the importance of synthetic technology.
D. To introduce the development of synthetic technology.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了合成技术的发展及其带来的挑战。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Midway through The Matrix, Cypher feasts on an enormous steak, well aware that his reality is not real, part of a digital program telling his brain that the steak is a construction and that it is “juicy and delicious.”(在《黑客帝国》中,塞弗享用着一块巨大的牛排,他清楚地意识到自己的现实并不是真实的,这是一个数字程序的一部分,数字程序告诉他的大脑,牛排是一个结构,而且“多汁美味”)”可知,塞弗知道自己处于虚拟现实,牛排是数字构造出来的,他是在虚拟世界中享受牛排。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“It has been estimated that cultured (培育的) meat would require 7 to 45 percent less energy and produce 78 to 96 percent less greenhouse gas than conventional animals farmed for consumption. But once we’re able to synthesize meat, theoretically, we’ll have the capability to culture meat from any animal (据估计,与传统养殖食用动物相比,培养肉(即合成肉)所需能源减少7%至45%,产生的温室气体减少78%至96%)”可知,合成肉所需要的能源更少,所产生的温室气体也更少。所以合成肉更环保。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“In 2021, scientists in some countries announced they had grown monkey embryos injected with human stem cells.(2021年,一些国家的科学家宣布,他们已经培育出了注入人类干细胞的猴子胚胎。)”可知,猴子胚胎已被植入人类干细胞。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。推理判断题。文章第一段以《黑客帝国》片段引出合成肉话题,第二段指出合成技术有朝不可预料方向发展的趋势,第三四段以两个例子(合成肉带来的管控挑战和基因合成可能出现的伦理问题)说明合成技术的发展伴随着挑战,文章的目的在于指出合成技术的挑战。故选B项。

Brand New You
We’re always told that no one likes a show-off, but a little bit of boasting (夸耀) does us all the world of good.
Once a year I teach a class on building personal brand to a group of women in the creative industries. At the start I ask each of the attendees how they feel about the phrase “personal brand”. ____16____. Most of them will tell me it feels too much like boasting. By the end of the session, however, there’s a change in mood and it always comes down to one key point that I think everyone should know. So I’m sharing it here!
It’s really quite simple: acknowledging your strengths does not mean you boast yourself. ____17____. But then we do an exercise that proves my point. I put the women in pairs and give them five minutes each to talk about things they love and are good at. When I give the instructions I am greeted by looks of horror. Five minutes?! Only talking about themselves?! What if the other person thinks they’re boasting?
____18____. So is sharing it with others. And yet it’s so lovely to hear someone else share their passion. The room is filled with connection, laughter and joy. And so I tell them, and now you, if you only take one thing away from this workshop let it be this: sharing what you love and are good at-your passion-with someone else, never comes across as boasting.____19____.
And if you want to feel really great today, ask someone to share what they love and are good at with you. If they only talk about what they love, encourage them to tell you why they’re good at it. ____20____. Maybe we’ll all feel better for it.
A. It is a form of connection and a gift
B. Almost everyone feels uneasy about it
C. Many people are impressed by your passion
D. Boast your strengths by building your personal brand
E. Try to create a “boasting culture” in our pride-avoidant society
F. When I say this in the workshop, there are always raised eyebrows
G. Owning what we are good at is an unfamiliar concept in our culture

【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了《自然自有答案》这本书,并启示我们——在自然中放慢脚步,便能寻得内心的平静与生活的智慧。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在节奏飞快的现代生活中,许多人感到焦虑迷茫,常常借助繁忙的工作来逃避内心的烦恼。句子已有谓语动词feel,空处为非谓语动词作伴随状语,逻辑主语many people与turn之间为主动关系。用现在分词turning。
【37题详解】
考查语态。句意:然而,《自然自有答案》这本书提醒我们,只要我们愿意停下脚步、环顾四周,总能在自然界中寻得平静与智慧。分析句子结构可知,空处与情态动词can构成从句的谓语动词,主语peace and wisdom与find之间为被动关系,情态动词后接动词原形,用be found。
【38题详解】
考查连词。句意:作者记录了日常自然中微小却美好的瞬间 —— 春天花儿娇嫩的嫩芽破土而出,黎明时分鸟儿欢快啼鸣,还有柔软的树叶在风中摇曳起舞。此处连接三个并列的自然场景名词短语,表并列关系用连词and。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这些常常被人们忽略的平凡景致,教会我们放慢脚步、用心观察、尽情活在当下。此处是非限制性定语从句,先行词是These simple scenes,指物,从句缺主语,用关系代词which引导。
【40题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:大自然从不匆忙,但万物皆会在合适的时节圆满成就。空处作谓语,主语Nature是不可数名词,根据上下文时态可知,应用一般现在时,用第三人称单数形式rushes。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:从中,我们领悟到成长的美好、沉默的力量以及耐心的重要性。介词of后接名词,动词grow的名词形式是growth,意为“成长”。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意:当我们感到困惑或心烦时,在公园里安静散步,或是静静看着云朵缓缓飘过天空片刻,都能抚平我们躁动的内心。此处修饰动词float,要用形容词gentle的副词形式gently,意为“温和地,和缓地”。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这本书也鼓励我们去保护身边的自然环境。encourage sb. to do sth.为固定搭配,意为“鼓励某人做某事”,用动词不定式to protect。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:每一棵树、每一只昆虫、每一条河流,都在微妙的自然平衡中发挥着作用。play a part in为固定搭配,意为“在……中起作用”,用不定冠词a。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:亲近自然,我们不仅能治愈心灵,还能学会与世间万物和谐共处。get close to为固定搭配,意为“接近,亲近”,用介词to。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Tina, a high school student, had a great passion for baking. With her parents’ support, Tina dreamed of opening her own bakery, a place where she could turn her interest into a business. However, she knew the importance of improving her skills and gaining real-world experience.
Therefore, every Saturday, without fail, she would set up a small but charming table at a local park. The park, filled with families and laughter, was the perfect place for Tina to sell her creations. Her table, neatly laid out with colorful homemade cookies and cakes, attracted passers-by with the desserts’ smell.
On a particularly bright and I sunny afternoon, as Tina was carefully arranging her chocolate cookies and cakes, her attention was drawn to an elderly woman sitting alone on a bench. The woman, with her silver hair and sad eyes, seemed lost in thought. As the hours went by, Tina noticed that the woman remained where she was, seemingly forgotten by the world. A sense of concern washed over Tina. So she decided to act. She poured a cup of warm tea carefully and cut a generous slice of her rich chocolate cake, a crowd favorite, and approached the woman.
“I thought you might like some snacks,” Tina said with a warm, inviting smile. The woman’s face lit up as she accepted the treat. “Thank you, dear. I haven’t had such a delicious treat since my retirement,” she responded, her voice soft yet filled with gratitude. As she enjoyed the cake, tears rolled down her face.
A little shocked, Tina asked what had happened. The woman introduced herself as Mrs. Robins, who had been a baker before she retired. Since losing her husband to cancer a week ago, she had been living alone. Her visits to the park were her escape from the loneliness that filled her quiet home. Tina listened attentively, her heart touched by the woman’s story.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Tina decided to help Mrs. Robins out. Every Saturday, as Tina saw Mrs. Robins, she treated Mrs. Robins to her desserts generously, chatted with Mrs. Robins and listened to more of Mrs. Robins’ stories. It comforted the elderly woman a lot and made her feel she was cared about. Influenced by Tina’s kindness, Mrs. Robins gradually worked through her sorrow, her eyes regaining their sparkle, and she started to embrace life again.
As their relationship deepened, Tina shared her dream. Mrs. Robins was eager to support her, sharing her baking stories and valuable baking experience without reservation with Tina and offered her tips on opening a bakery. Assisted by Mrs. Robins, the small table has grown into a cozy bakery, which became a symbol of the power of kindness and the beautiful connection between generations. Over time, Tina’s bakery had been on the up and up with a constant stream of visitors, where love and warmth were always on the menu.
