To most people, the “Mind the gap” announcement is just the daily chatter on the London Underground. But for McCollum, the three words bring back the voice of someone she loved and lost: her husband, Oswald Laurence. Laurence passed away in 2007, and McCollum would often travel to Embankment tube station just to hear his voice. Eighteen years later, she continues the journey.
In the 1960s, Laurence was selected by the London Underground to record the “Mind the gap” announcement, heard by millions of commuters for decades. Over time, most stations adopted a new voice, but Embankment retained the original — it was McCollum’s special spot to remember her husband. Yet in November 2012, Laurence’s voice was unexpectedly replaced during system upgrades.
“I used to wait for the next train to hear his voice,” McCollum recalled. “Suddenly one day it wasn’t his voice. I said to my friend, ‘What happened to Oswald’s voice?’ The tape had broken?” She added, “I felt slightly panicky and a bit anxious.” McCollum spoke to the guard on the platform, who confirmed they had a new PA system and voice. Shocked and tearful, McCollum contacted Transport for London and asked if it could restore the original announcement.
Moved by her story, the staff at Transport for London promised to try and help. They made good on their promise. Just two weeks later, the staff had created a CD of the original recording and restored Laurence’s voice to the announcement. “I love the fact that he’s back there and I can listen to him,” said McCollum. “It does bring him very close to me.” She added, “I would have been heartsick if they had not managed to bring him back.”
Laurence’s legacy and love live on. Passengers on the northbound Northern Line at Embankment station can still hear his iconic voice telling them to “Mind the gap.” And the station remains a comforting place for McCollum, who continues to visit whenever she wants to feel close to her late husband.
4. Why did Margaret McCollum often go to Embankment tube station?
A. To take the Northern Line train. B. To listen to her late husband’s voice.
C. To meet her friend who worked there. D. To report a problem with the PA system.
5. What can we infer about the staff at Transport for London?
A. They always keep old recordings. B. They responded warmly to the story.
C. They often change station announcements. D. They knew McCollum’s husband personally.
6. Where could passengers still hear Laurence’s original voice after 2012?
A. Nowhere: the voice was permanently deleted.
B. At all stations that had kept the old PA system.
C. On every line of the London Underground tube station.
D. On the northbound Northern Line at Embankment station.
7. The best title for this passage could be ________.
A. A Famous Voice B. A System Upgrade
C. Love, Lost and Found D. London’s Tube History
C
If someone asked whether you like the arts, you’d probably say you do—at least in theory. According to a survey, more than two-thirds of U.S. adults say the arts “lift me up beyond everyday experiences”. However, only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in 2017; 23 percent went to an art museum. Fewer than half actively created art of any kind.
The mismatch can boil down to the fact that we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities, leaving our schedule packed. Maybe you like to play a little background music while you work or do the chores, but even before the pandemic, most of us rarely, if ever, saw a live performance, let alone visited a gallery or watched a play.
Too often, we let the dull reality of life get in the way of the arts. But this is a mistake. The arts are the opposite of an escape from reality; they might just be the most realistic glimpse we ever get into the nature and meaning of life. If you make time for consuming and producing art—the same way you make time for work and exercise and family commitments—I assure you that you’ll find your life getting fuller and happier. Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry. Or maybe your dizziness as you emerged from a narrow side street in an unfamiliar city and found yourself in a beautiful town square as if in a fantasy. They probably stimulated a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air.
If you are among the people who feel that art is pure pleasure to experience and participate in, you might see it as a luxury item, while a preferable attitude is to treat art less like a distracting pleasure, and more like exercise or sleep, a necessity. Then draw up a schedule of your art exposure journey, and gradually weave art into your everyday life.
8. What prevents people from enjoying the arts?
A. Shortage of time. B. Avoidance of duty.
C. Lack of interest. D. Art space unavailability.
9. What can we learn about the role of art according to the passage?
A. It explores mysteries of nature. B. It sparks emotional responses.
C. It enhances physical well-being. D. It offers a getaway from daily life.
10. What will be talked about next in the passage?
A. Ways to integrate art into routine. B. Barriers to combining art and life.
C. Forms of distracting pleasures. D. Benefits of engaging with art.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Art Journey: From Body to Mind B. Embracing Art: From Luxury to Necessity
C. Art Pursuit: Transforming Dull into Full D. Connecting with Art: From Reality to Fantasy
D
The Value of Science
When I was younger, I thought science would bring benefits to everyone. It was clearly useful and good. But during the war, I worked on the atomic bomb. This scientific achievement was devastating — it meant destruction and put our future at risk. I had to ask myself: “Does science have an inherent (内在的) dark side?”
Put another way, what was the value of the science I’d dedicated myself to, the thing I’d loved, when I saw the terrible harm it could cause?
The first value of science is well-known: scientific knowledge lets us create and do countless things. Of course, if we use it for good, that’s not just science’s credit — it’s also the moral choice behind the work. Scientific knowledge is a tool that can be used for good or evil, but it doesn’t come with instructions on how to apply it. This power still holds value, even if it’s misused.
Another value of science is the intellectual joy it offers. When we dig deep into any question, we feel excitement and mystery over and over. More knowledge brings deeper, more wonderful mysteries, pushing us to explore further. We never fear that answers will disappoint us; instead, we eagerly uncover new wonders that lead to more questions.
Thanks to science, we’ve imagined things far more fantastic than any poet or dreamer of the past could have.
I now turn to a third value: scientists are used to ignorance, doubt, and uncertainty — and this experience is invaluable. When a scientist doesn’t know an answer, they accept their ignorance. When they have a hypothesis, they’re uncertain. Even when they’re confident in a result, they still hold some doubt.
We scientists take it for granted that it’s okay to live without having all the answers. But our freedom to doubt came from a long fight against authority in science’s early days. To keep progressing, we must never forget that struggle; we must acknowledge our ignorance and embrace doubt.
It’s our duty as scientists, knowing how progress comes from freedom of thought, to defend this freedom; to teach that doubt is not to be feared but welcomed, and to demand this freedom for future generations.
12. Why did the author start questioning the value of science?
A. Because he found science too complex to master.
B. Because he saw science could be used to cause misfortune.
C. Because he thought science failed to bring intellectual joy.
D. Because he believed scientists were often uncertain about their work.
13. What can we infer about the author’s view on scientific knowledge?
A. It guides us to make moral decisions.
B. Its true value only appears when used for good purposes.
C. It doesn’t tell us how to use it properly.
D. It is less important than freedom of thought.
14. What does “the intellectual joy” mean according to Paragraph 4?
A. Science is complex and can help people become clever.
B. Science is great fun and people take delight in learning science.
C. Science is unlimited and people get pleasure from making constant discoveries.
D. Science is developing and people enjoy the ever-changing scientific knowledge.
15. Which of the following best summarizes the author’s overall view on the value of science?
A. Science is dangerous and needs strict control.
B. Science’s main value lies in creating new technologies.
C. Science is about solving mysteries and has nothing to do with morality.
D. Science is a tool with moral, offering intellectual joy and supporting freedom of thought.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
Have you ever thought that taking short breaks during a walk could actually help you burn more calories?
Scientists have discovered that short bursts of activity can burn more energy than continuous exercise. For example, several groups of quick walks or stair climbs for just 10 to 30 seconds use 20% to 60% more energy than walking nonstop for the same distance.____16____Similar to a car using more fuel when starting a journey, our body works harder at the beginning of any movement. This is because it needs to warm up our muscles and get into a rhythm. These short bursts of activity might not last long, but they require a lot of energy.
____17____As someone who sits most of the day, I used to think exercise meant hours at the gym. But when I tried replacing my afternoon coffee breaks with three 90-second stair climbs, something surprising happened.____18____My body adjusted to the activity, and what once felt like a struggle gradually turned into a manageable routine. As this happened, I unexpectedly felt more focused and energized throughout the day. These “exercise snacks” fit well into my busy schedule, proving that working out doesn’t require large blocks of time.
____19____Every stair climb or short walk wakes up the body. Health isn’t built in a day at the gym—it’s made through small, consistent actions. Simply replace one of your usual sitting breaks with just a single minute of walking, and you’ll be amazed at how small actions can reshape your physical vitality.____20____
A. Now I see fitness differently.
B. Every step counts, no matter how short it is!
C. This finding matches perfectly with my own experience.
D. This happens because the body needs extra energy to start moving.
E. Actually, short exercise breaks can increase your energy consumption.
F. At first, even 20 seconds left me breathless, but over time, it became easier.
G. The more time and effort you put into exercise, the more calories you will burn.

As the school year wrapped up and the first days of summer vacation stretched out before them, Max, Ava, and Sam had a perfect day planned at their usual community park. This tidy little park was their go - to spot for unwinding and just enjoying some precious leisure time.
Max rushed ahead with a soccer ball under his arm, Ava and Sam trailing closely behind, full of energy. It was the kind of day that promised endless fun and carefree laughter. But as they stepped into the park, their heart sank. The once - beloved playground was now a chaotic mess of discarded trash (乱扔的垃圾) — candy wrappers stuck in the slide’s metal bars, plastic bottles rolling in the wind, and chip bags lying underfoot.
“Look at this!” Ava shouted in disbelief as she pointed to the garbage near the swings.
Max’s face darkened with frustration. The three friends stood frozen, their eyes scanning the playground area. The once clean slides and swings were now buried under a layer of candy wrappers and plastic bottles. Ava cast a glance (瞥一眼) at the walking trails, where garbage seemed to have taken over, with discarded bags and cans lying everywhere. Sam looked out at the grassy fields — a disaster. The park was vast, but every corner seemed to have been touched by the carelessness of others.
“Who would be so thoughtless?” Max whispered, shaking his head.
Sam kicked a plastic bottle in anger, sending it flying across the grass. “It’s not just thoughtless — it’s disrespectful.”
Ava sighed thoughtfully but suddenly her face lit up. “We can’t just leave it like this. Why don’t we do something about it? We can, say, form a Cleanup Squad (清洁小分队)…” she said, her voice soft but determined.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

Max and Sam exchanged an excited glance.

Unexpectedly, other parkgoers joined in as they did the cleanup.

To most people, the “Mind the gap” announcement is just the daily chatter on the London Underground. But for McCollum, the three words bring back the voice of someone she loved and lost: her husband, Oswald Laurence. Laurence passed away in 2007, and McCollum would often travel to Embankment tube station just to hear his voice. Eighteen years later, she continues the journey.
In the 1960s, Laurence was selected by the London Underground to record the “Mind the gap” announcement, heard by millions of commuters for decades. Over time, most stations adopted a new voice, but Embankment retained the original — it was McCollum’s special spot to remember her husband. Yet in November 2012, Laurence’s voice was unexpectedly replaced during system upgrades.
“I used to wait for the next train to hear his voice,” McCollum recalled. “Suddenly one day it wasn’t his voice. I said to my friend, ‘What happened to Oswald’s voice?’ The tape had broken?” She added, “I felt slightly panicky and a bit anxious.” McCollum spoke to the guard on the platform, who confirmed they had a new PA system and voice. Shocked and tearful, McCollum contacted Transport for London and asked if it could restore the original announcement.
Moved by her story, the staff at Transport for London promised to try and help. They made good on their promise. Just two weeks later, the staff had created a CD of the original recording and restored Laurence’s voice to the announcement. “I love the fact that he’s back there and I can listen to him,” said McCollum. “It does bring him very close to me.” She added, “I would have been heartsick if they had not managed to bring him back.”
Laurence’s legacy and love live on. Passengers on the northbound Northern Line at Embankment station can still hear his iconic voice telling them to “Mind the gap.” And the station remains a comforting place for McCollum, who continues to visit whenever she wants to feel close to her late husband.
4. Why did Margaret McCollum often go to Embankment tube station?
A. To take the Northern Line train. B. To listen to her late husband’s voice.
C. To meet her friend who worked there. D. To report a problem with the PA system.
5. What can we infer about the staff at Transport for London?
A. They always keep old recordings. B. They responded warmly to the story.
C. They often change station announcements. D. They knew McCollum’s husband personally.
6. Where could passengers still hear Laurence’s original voice after 2012?
A. Nowhere: the voice was permanently deleted.
B. At all stations that had kept the old PA system.
C. On every line of the London Underground tube station.
D. On the northbound Northern Line at Embankment station.
7. The best title for this passage could be ________.

If someone asked whether you like the arts, you’d probably say you do—at least in theory. According to a survey, more than two-thirds of U.S. adults say the arts “lift me up beyond everyday experiences”. However, only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in 2017; 23 percent went to an art museum. Fewer than half actively created art of any kind.
The mismatch can boil down to the fact that we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities, leaving our schedule packed. Maybe you like to play a little background music while you work or do the chores, but even before the pandemic, most of us rarely, if ever, saw a live performance, let alone visited a gallery or watched a play.
Too often, we let the dull reality of life get in the way of the arts. But this is a mistake. The arts are the opposite of an escape from reality; they might just be the most realistic glimpse we ever get into the nature and meaning of life. If you make time for consuming and producing art—the same way you make time for work and exercise and family commitments—I assure you that you’ll find your life getting fuller and happier. Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry. Or maybe your dizziness as you emerged from a narrow side street in an unfamiliar city and found yourself in a beautiful town square as if in a fantasy. They probably stimulated a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air.
If you are among the people who feel that art is pure pleasure to experience and participate in, you might see it as a luxury item, while a preferable attitude is to treat art less like a distracting pleasure, and more like exercise or sleep, a necessity. Then draw up a schedule of your art exposure journey, and gradually weave art into your everyday life.
8. What prevents people from enjoying the arts?
A. Shortage of time. B. Avoidance of duty.
C. Lack of interest. D. Art space unavailability.
9. What can we learn about the role of art according to the passage?
A. It explores mysteries of nature. B. It sparks emotional responses.
C. It enhances physical well-being. D. It offers a getaway from daily life.
10. What will be talked about next in the passage?
A. Ways to integrate art into routine. B. Barriers to combining art and life.
C. Forms of distracting pleasures. D. Benefits of engaging with art.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Art Journey: From Body to Mind B. Embracing Art: From Luxury to Necessity
C. Art Pursuit: Transforming Dull into Full D. Connecting with Art: From Reality to Fantasy
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了人们对自己的日常安排满满,以致于没有“艺术时间”,从而使得艺术成为“理论上的喜爱”和“奢侈品”。作者论述了艺术能够带来的有益的情绪刺激,希望可以将对艺术的喜爱真正体现到日常生活中,使其成为生活必需品。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The mismatch can boil down to the fact that we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities, leaving our schedule packed.(这种不匹配可以归结为这样一个事实:我们被日常的责任压得喘不过气来,把我们的日程安排得满满的)”可知,阻止人们享受艺术的是安排满满的日程,即,缺少享受艺术的时间。故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“They probably stimulated a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air.(它们可能刺激了突然的觉醒,就像呼吸了烟雾弥漫的空气后,肺部吸入纯氧后的震惊一样)”可知,艺术可能会刺激一种突然的觉醒,给人带来震惊。由此可推知,艺术会给人带来情绪方面的刺激。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Then draw up a schedule of your art exposure journey, and gradually weave art into your everyday life.(然后制定一个你的艺术接触之旅的时间表,并逐渐将艺术融入你的日常生活)”提到了制定一个时间表,将艺术融入日常生活,由此可推知,后文应以这一话题继续讲述如何设计这样的时间表,如何将艺术融入日常生活规划中。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通过阅读文章内容可知,文章最后一段内容“If you are among the people who feel that art is pure pleasure to experience and participate in, you might see it as a luxury item, while a preferable attitude is to treat art less like a distracting pleasure, and more like exercise or sleep, a necessity.(如果你认为艺术是一种纯粹的体验和参与的乐趣,你可能会将其视为奢侈品,而更可取的态度是将艺术视为一种分散注意力的乐趣,而更像是一种锻炼或睡眠,一种必需品)”点明了作者想要表达的核心,即,摒弃掉“对艺术理论式的喜爱”,将艺术真正的融入生活,使其成为生活必需品,而非奢侈品。故选项B“拥抱艺术:从奢侈品到必需品”贴合主旨,可作最佳标题。故选B项。
D
The Value of Science
When I was younger, I thought science would bring benefits to everyone. It was clearly useful and good. But during the war, I worked on the atomic bomb. This scientific achievement was devastating — it meant destruction and put our future at risk. I had to ask myself: “Does science have an inherent (内在的) dark side?”
Put another way, what was the value of the science I’d dedicated myself to, the thing I’d loved, when I saw the terrible harm it could cause?
The first value of science is well-known: scientific knowledge lets us create and do countless things. Of course, if we use it for good, that’s not just science’s credit — it’s also the moral choice behind the work. Scientific knowledge is a tool that can be used for good or evil, but it doesn’t come with instructions on how to apply it. This power still holds value, even if it’s misused.
Another value of science is the intellectual joy it offers. When we dig deep into any question, we feel excitement and mystery over and over. More knowledge brings deeper, more wonderful mysteries, pushing us to explore further. We never fear that answers will disappoint us; instead, we eagerly uncover new wonders that lead to more questions.
Thanks to science, we’ve imagined things far more fantastic than any poet or dreamer of the past could have.
I now turn to a third value: scientists are used to ignorance, doubt, and uncertainty — and this experience is invaluable. When a scientist doesn’t know an answer, they accept their ignorance. When they have a hypothesis, they’re uncertain. Even when they’re confident in a result, they still hold some doubt.
We scientists take it for granted that it’s okay to live without having all the answers. But our freedom to doubt came from a long fight against authority in science’s early days. To keep progressing, we must never forget that struggle; we must acknowledge our ignorance and embrace doubt.
It’s our duty as scientists, knowing how progress comes from freedom of thought, to defend this freedom; to teach that doubt is not to be feared but welcomed, and to demand this freedom for future generations.
12. Why did the author start questioning the value of science?
A. Because he found science too complex to master.
B. Because he saw science could be used to cause misfortune.
C. Because he thought science failed to bring intellectual joy.
D. Because he believed scientists were often uncertain about their work.
13. What can we infer about the author’s view on scientific knowledge?
A. It guides us to make moral decisions.
B. Its true value only appears when used for good purposes.
C. It doesn’t tell us how to use it properly.
D. It is less important than freedom of thought.
14. What does “the intellectual joy” mean according to Paragraph 4?
A. Science is complex and can help people become clever.
B. Science is great fun and people take delight in learning science.
C. Science is unlimited and people get pleasure from making constant discoveries.
D. Science is developing and people enjoy the ever-changing scientific knowledge.
15. Which of the following best summarizes the author’s overall view on the value of science?
A. Science is dangerous and needs strict control.
B. Science’s main value lies in creating new technologies.
C. Science is about solving mysteries and has nothing to do with morality.
D. Science is a tool with moral, offering intellectual joy and supporting freedom of thought.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】主要论述了作者对科学价值的思考,通过自身经历引发对科学价值的质疑,进而阐述科学的价值体现在可创造事物、带来智力乐趣以及培养对未知和怀疑的接受态度等方面。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But during the war, I worked on the atomic bomb. This scientific achievement was devastating — it meant destruction and put our future at risk. I had to ask myself: ‘Does science have an inherent (内在的) dark side?’(但在战争期间,我致力于原子弹的研究。这项科学成果具有毁灭性——它意味着破坏,并使我们的未来处于危险之中。我不得不问自己:“科学是否有内在的黑暗面?”)”可知,作者看到科学被用于制造原子弹带来破坏,从而开始质疑科学的价值。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Scientific knowledge is a tool that can be used for good or evil, but it doesn’t come with instructions on how to apply it.(科学知识是一种工具,可以用于善或恶,但它没有附带如何应用它的说明)”可知,作者认为科学知识并没有告诉我们如何正确使用它。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Another value of science is the intellectual joy it offers. When we dig deep into any question, we feel excitement and mystery over and over. More knowledge brings deeper, more wonderful mysteries, pushing us to explore further. We never fear that answers will disappoint us; instead, we eagerly uncover new wonders that lead to more questions.(科学的另一个价值是它带来的智力乐趣。当我们深入探究任何一个问题时,我们一次又一次地感受到兴奋和神秘。更多的知识带来更深层次、更奇妙的奥秘,促使我们进一步探索。我们从不担心答案会让我们失望;相反,我们急切地去发现新的奇迹,而这些奇迹又会引发更多的问题)”可知,“智力乐趣” 意味着科学是无限的,人们从不断的发现中获得乐趣。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。文章第三段提到科学知识是一种工具,其使用取决于道德选择;第四段阐述科学带来智力乐趣;最后三段强调科学家对无知、怀疑和不确定性的接受以及对思想自由的捍卫。综合来看,作者认为科学是一种具有道德考量的工具,能带来智力乐趣并支持思想自由。

Have you ever thought that taking short breaks during a walk could actually help you burn more calories?
Scientists have discovered that short bursts of activity can burn more energy than continuous exercise. For example, several groups of quick walks or stair climbs for just 10 to 30 seconds use 20% to 60% more energy than walking nonstop for the same distance.____16____Similar to a car using more fuel when starting a journey, our body works harder at the beginning of any movement. This is because it needs to warm up our muscles and get into a rhythm. These short bursts of activity might not last long, but they require a lot of energy.
____17____As someone who sits most of the day, I used to think exercise meant hours at the gym. But when I tried replacing my afternoon coffee breaks with three 90-second stair climbs, something surprising happened.____18____My body adjusted to the activity, and what once felt like a struggle gradually turned into a manageable routine. As this happened, I unexpectedly felt more focused and energized throughout the day. These “exercise snacks” fit well into my busy schedule, proving that working out doesn’t require large blocks of time.
____19____Every stair climb or short walk wakes up the body. Health isn’t built in a day at the gym—it’s made through small, consistent actions. Simply replace one of your usual sitting breaks with just a single minute of walking, and you’ll be amazed at how small actions can reshape your physical vitality.____20____
A. Now I see fitness differently.
B. Every step counts, no matter how short it is!
C. This finding matches perfectly with my own experience.
D. This happens because the body needs extra energy to start moving.
E. Actually, short exercise breaks can increase your energy consumption.
F. At first, even 20 seconds left me breathless, but over time, it became easier.
G. The more time and effort you put into exercise, the more calories you will burn.
【答案】16. D 17. C 18. F 19. A 20. B
【解析】

【解析】
【导语】文章主要说明了坏习惯导致的问题以及如何改正。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意:然而,在此期间,他们中的一些人很容易形成坏习惯。此处与前文是转折关系,有逗号隔开用However,置句首首字母大写。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这些坏习惯,如果放任不管,当他们长大成人时,可能会导致更严重的坏习惯。句子的谓语动词是could lead,空处应填非谓语动词作状语,主语habits与leave构成被动关系,故用过去分词left。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:改变坏习惯从来都不是一件容易的事,即使经过多次尝试。由many修饰用名词复数attempts作介词宾语。
【39题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:好消息是,如果我们了解习惯是如何起作用的,我们可以改变我们的坏习惯。引导宾语从句,从句缺少方式状语,表示“如何”,连接副词how符合题意。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:为了促进坏习惯的积极改变,我们必须首先检查我们的坏习惯循环,然后尝试适应它们。此处change为泛指,且positive是发音以辅音音素开头的单词,应用a修饰。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:我们可以通过将我们的习惯周期信息与我们自己的积极想法相结合来做到这一点。作介词的宾语,应用动名词形式combining。
【42题详解】
考查不定式。句意:事实上,最成功的改变方式不是突然,而是经过一段时间。way to do sth.“做某事的方式”,用不定式作后置定语。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意:事实上,最成功的改变方式不是突然,而是经过一段时间。表示“不是……而是……”句型为not…but…。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:为了达到改变的目标,一个人必须反复地采取许多小步骤。修饰动词take应用副词repeatedly“反复地”。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意:年轻人有能力建立一个充满好习惯的快乐健康的生活。修饰名词life用形容词healthy与happy并列作定语。

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。
As the school year wrapped up and the first days of summer vacation stretched out before them, Max, Ava, and Sam had a perfect day planned at their usual community park. This tidy little park was their go - to spot for unwinding and just enjoying some precious leisure time.
Max rushed ahead with a soccer ball under his arm, Ava and Sam trailing closely behind, full of energy. It was the kind of day that promised endless fun and carefree laughter. But as they stepped into the park, their heart sank. The once - beloved playground was now a chaotic mess of discarded trash (乱扔的垃圾) — candy wrappers stuck in the slide’s metal bars, plastic bottles rolling in the wind, and chip bags lying underfoot.
“Look at this!” Ava shouted in disbelief as she pointed to the garbage near the swings.
Max’s face darkened with frustration. The three friends stood frozen, their eyes scanning the playground area. The once clean slides and swings were now buried under a layer of candy wrappers and plastic bottles. Ava cast a glance (瞥一眼) at the walking trails, where garbage seemed to have taken over, with discarded bags and cans lying everywhere. Sam looked out at the grassy fields — a disaster. The park was vast, but every corner seemed to have been touched by the carelessness of others.
“Who would be so thoughtless?” Max whispered, shaking his head.
Sam kicked a plastic bottle in anger, sending it flying across the grass. “It’s not just thoughtless — it’s disrespectful.”
Ava sighed thoughtfully but suddenly her face lit up. “We can’t just leave it like this. Why don’t we do something about it? We can, say, form a Cleanup Squad (清洁小分队)…” she said, her voice soft but determined.

Max and Sam exchanged an excited glance.

Unexpectedly, other parkgoers joined in as they did the cleanup.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Max and Sam exchanged an excited glance. “That’s a great idea, Ava!” Max exclaimed. Sam nodded in agreement, his eyes shining with determination. Without hesitation, they quickly divided the tasks. Max ran to fetch some trash bags from his nearby home. Ava and Sam started collecting the larger pieces of garbage first, like the chip bags and plastic bottles. As they worked, Ava hummed a little tune, and the others joined in. Their laughter and songs filled the park, making the cleanup seem more like a fun game.
Unexpectedly, other parkgoers joined in as they did the cleanup. An elderly couple, who were taking a stroll, saw what they were doing and decided to lend a hand. A group of kids playing nearby also came over, eager to help make the park clean again. With more people joining, the cleanup went much faster. Before long, the playground was clean once more. The slides and swings sparkled in the sun, and the grassy fields were free of trash. Max, Ava, and Sam looked at each other, beaming with pride. They realized that with everyone’s effort, they could make a difference and keep their beloved park beautiful.
