The Correspondent by Virginia Evans This is a must-share book. Told through years of correspondences, it follows retired lawyer Sybil VanAntwerp, who writes to family, friends, famous authors, and even customer service agents. She also keeps a mysterious letter she never sends. Sybil is stubborn, direct yet funny, kind and wise, with a life full of family and friendship highs and lows. It celebrates the bonds formed and healed through words, reminding readers of humanity’s beauty. Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy This is Charlotte McConaghy’s third novel, which carries forward similar themes and writing styles from her 2020 best fiction Migrations, an earlier work honored with literary prizes. It pulls readers in from the first page to the last, leaving them breathless with its story of family, grief, climate change and nature. The Beast in the Clouds by Nathalia Holt As a thrilling narrative history, it takes readers through China’s jungles and Tibet’s mountains. In 1929, Theodore Roosevelt’s sons Ted and Kermit head to the Himalayas to prove the panda is real, risking their lives to uphold their father’s legacy (遗志) despite self-doubt. With brave women guides saving the day repeatedly and unexpected twists, this 288-page book keeps readers on the edge, cheering for the brothers while worrying about the pandas. 1. What makes Sybil Van Antwerp’s character memorable in The Correspondent? A. Her exclusive focus on writing to famous people. B. Her single-minded pursuit of writing a perfect letter. C. Her refusal to communicate with family and friends. D. Her mix of stubbornness, directness, humor and kindness. 2. Which book is related to the author’s previous award-winning work? A. The Correspondent. B. Wild Dark Shore. C. Migrations. D. The Beast in the Clouds. 3. Why do Ted and Kermit Roosevelt set off on their journey to the Himalayas? A. To protect the endangered pandas from harm. B. To prove the existence of a mythical creature. C. To escape the pressure of their father’s legacy. D. To explore China’s jungles and Tibet’s mountains. B For five long years, master weaver (织工) Wang Pengwei worked day and night in her quiet Dingzhou workshop, pursuing a bold dream: to weave a full copy of the famous ancient painting, Along the River During the Qingming Festival in Kesi, a Chinese silk weaving art with a history of more than 2,000 years. The project was far more difficult than she had imagined. To show the painting’s tiny details in silk, it had to be made much bigger. Wang and her team of ten weavers needed to work perfectly together. They spent three months practicing, just to make sure every hand moved in harmony. What truly tested their resolve, however, was the extreme slowness of the work. Each day’s work sometimes added only a few millimeters to the length. “There were moments we almost gave up,” Wang recalled. The work required not just skill, but great patience. After 126,000 hours of effort, the 8.2-meter-long piece was finally finished. The moment it was cut from the loom (织布机), the workshop was filled with cheers and relieved smiles. Wang felt a deep joy: “This shows our craft is not just history; it is still alive,” she said. The project did more than complete a weaving. It changed a life — the life of her son, Wang Bo. He once saw kesi as old-fashioned and built his own business far from home. However, upon returning during the pandemic, he watched his mother devote herself to the loom. Touched by her passion and realizing the craft might disappear, he made a big decision: to leave his job and learn the family art. “Choosing kesi is like walking a long, narrow road,” Wang Bo said. Although it takes much time and brings little money, he finds true meaning in it. Now, he is creating new kesi products for everyday use. He also helps teach young students, hoping they too will appreciate this ancient beauty. Through their shared dedication, the art of kesi is being warmly passed on. It honors the past, while weaving its way into the future. 4. What was the main challenge in the project? A. The extremely slow daily progress. B. The much larger scale of the copy. C. The shortage of painting materials. D. The long early training period. 5. What was key to completing the kesi work? A. The pursuit of personal artistic fame. B. A strict division of labor among weavers. C. Perfect teamwork and great patience. D. Advanced looms and public support. 6. Why did Wang Bo decide to learn the kesi craft? A. To learn a traditional skill. B. To preserve the dying craft. C. To change his career path. D. To fulfill his mother’s wish. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The History of Silk Weaving. B. A Long Journey, a Regretful Choice. C. The Future of an Ancient Art. D. Two Generations, a Shared Dream. C Science, for all its benefits, operates in a moral grey area. We seldom acknowledge how profoundly animal life supports the research yielding our medicines and safety regulations. In the UK alone, 2024 saw 2.64 million officially approved scientific procedures on live animals, many causing suffering or death. However, a recent government plan proposes phasing out animal testing, suggesting that emerging technologies could largely replace animals in the scientific efforts. The UK has previously banned animal testing for cosmetics (化妆品) and restricted its research use, but many widespread practices, like causing tumours (肿瘤) in mice for cancer research, remain accepted despite their cruelty. When animal welfare comes into conflict with human benefit, collective compassion often reaches its limit. Success relies on convincing both scientists and the public that trusted methods can be replaced by equally or more effective alternatives. Fortunately, workable alternatives are emerging. “Organ-on-a-chip” systems use lab-grown cells to imitate bodily functions. Meanwhile, machine learning is good at predicting drug toxic effects. These methods won’t offer perfect human insights, but neither do animal tests, as evidenced by the classic example of paracetamol, which is safe for humans but poisonous to cats. Unlike vague (模糊的) AI strategies, this government plan appears concrete. It commits £60 million in funding, focuses on testing specific animal-free alternatives, and encouragingly outlines a decade-long roadmap for their maturation, avoiding the mistake of treating technology as a cure-all. This shift represents both a scientific and economic opportunity. Animal testing not only raises serious ethical questions, but also is a costly and slow method. With the EU and US also seeking reductions, there is a global market for the relevant knowledge and experience. Most importantly, a moral duty exists to free these animals. While past policies reduced the use of popular species like dogs, today 95% of lab animals are rodents, birds, or fish. They, too deserve ethical consideration as we strive for humane scientific progress. 8. What is the UK government’s new plan? A. To stop animal tests immediately. B. To end animal tests gradually with new tech. C. To limit animal tests to cosmetics. D. To expand medical research by animal tests. 9. What can we know from paragraph 2? A. The major barrier to taking the place of animal tests. B. The continuing widespread use of cosmetic tests today. C. The ethical conflict between different cultures. D. The great effect of earlier bans on animal testing. 10. How will the government carry out the plan? A. By promoting vague AI strategies for prediction. B. By funding tests and setting a ten-year roadmap. C. By depending only on “organ-on-a-chip” systems. D. By treating new technologies as a cure-all solution. 11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To state the economic reason. B. To defend a lot of species. C. To demand an immediate ban. D. To explain the need for change. D In modern therapy culture, a popular view claims that you shouldn’t try to change — you are perfectly imperfect, and the right people will tolerate your every idiosyncrasy (怪癖). Similarly, personality has traditionally been defined as a stable set of traits. Many believe they are trapped by the genetic hand they were dealt at birth. However, these ideas are increasingly being challenged. Research shows that personality is more fluid than we think. A previous study found that just three months of digital coaching could reliably increase emotional stability and self-discipline. This supports the idea that personality traits can be intentionally developed. Even the concepts of introversion (内向) and extroversion, popularized by Carl Jung, are not fixed categories. Jung himself stated that these traits are not black-and-white categories, but rather a continuum. Our behavior and personality can vary depending on context. Who you are on a cold winter Wednesday may differ from who you are on a sunny Saturday. This malleability (可塑性) suggests that we are not locked into one version of ourselves. Social connection plays a crucial role in well-being. Displaying extroverted traits, even occasionally, is linked with better stress resistance, such as lower blood pressure and heart rate. The Harvard Study of Adult Development, an 80-year project tracking hundreds of lives, concluded that thriving social relationships are the most important factor in a happy and healthy life. Despite this, the growing popularity of the introvert label — often worn as a badge (徽章)— may encourage people to avoid social situations. Over-identifying with introversion can limit personal growth. Research shows that it’s not actual introversion, but the strength of one’s identity as an introvert, that makes acting outgoing uncomfortable. Challenging the idea of rigid personality types could lead to greater happiness. Whether you’re an introvert or extrovert; developing underused traits — like reflection or emotional regulation — is possible. The first step is accepting that change is not only possible, but sometimes necessary. 12. How is the author’s opinion introduced in paragraph 1? A. By providing statistical data. B. By offering a solution. C. By presenting popular beliefs D. By asking some questions 13. What does the underlined word “fluid” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Complex. B. Fixed. C. Changeable. D. Predictable. 14. Why does the author mention “a cold winter Wednesday” and “a sunny Saturday” in paragraph 3? A. To illustrate how personality changes in different situations. B. To prove people’s inner feelings seldom change over time. C. To show weather can shape one’s personality permanently. D. To contrast daily behaviors on different days of the week. 15. What can be inferred about people who strongly identify as introverts? A. They are born disliking social activities. B. They have their personal growth severely limited. C. They possess greater emotional stability. D. They might avoid beneficial social behaviors. 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。 Foraging (觅食), or looking in nature for wild food sources, never went away completely.

Jim and Iris have moved to Florida to live near their daughter and grandchildren. “I hope my new neighbours are as nice as Jim and Iris,” thought Molly. “I will be very upset if some young people buy the house. They will be noisy. They might have children and pets.” A few days later, a moving truck parked outside the house next door. Molly stood at the window of her living room and watched. She saw sofas, tables and beds go into the house. She saw the moving men carry many boxes into the house. “Oh no!” she thought. “A child!” Next, a moving man carried a red bicycle into the garden. It was clearly a child’s bike — too small for an adult. “Another child! Shouting! Screaming! I don’t want to live next door to children.” Molly looked at her watch. It was time to go to the community centre. Every Friday, there is a free gardening workshop there. Gustav Raer is a famous horticulturist (园艺家). He grows beautiful flowers and rare plants. He has designed award-winning gardens all over the world. Now he is retired, but he still likes to garden.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍的是介绍了三本风格各异的好书。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Correspondent by Virginia Evans部分“Sybil is stubborn, direct yet funny, kind and wise, with a life full of family and friendship highs and lows.(Sybil性格倔强、直率但又有趣，善良且睿智，她的生活充满了家庭和友谊的起起落落。)”可知，她性格中融合了固执、直率、风趣和善良，这正是她令人难忘的原因。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy部分“This is Charlotte McConaghy’s third novel, which carries forward similar themes and writing styles from her 2020 best fiction Migrations, an earlier work honored with literary prizes.(这是 Charlotte McConaghy 的第三部小说，延续了她2020年最佳小说Migrations中相似的主题和写作风格，那部作品曾获得文学奖项。)”可知，Wild Dark Shore延续了作者2020年获奖作品Migrations的主题和风格。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据The Beast in the Clouds by Nathalia Holt部分“In 1929, Theodore Roosevelt’s sons Ted and Kermit head to the Himalayas to prove the panda is real, risking their lives to uphold their father’s legacy (遗志) despite self-doubt.(1929年，西奥多·罗斯福的儿子Ted和Kermit前往喜马拉雅山脉，只为证明熊猫是真实存在的。他们不顾自我怀疑，冒着生命危险去继承父亲的遗志。)”可知，他们去喜马拉雅是为了证明熊猫是真实存在的。 B For five long years, master weaver (织工) Wang Pengwei worked day and night in her quiet Dingzhou workshop, pursuing a bold dream: to weave a full copy of the famous ancient painting, Along the River During the Qingming Festival in Kesi, a Chinese silk weaving art with a history of more than 2,000 years. The project was far more difficult than she had imagined. To show the painting’s tiny details in silk, it had to be made much bigger. Wang and her team of ten weavers needed to work perfectly together. They spent three months practicing, just to make sure every hand moved in harmony. What truly tested their resolve, however, was the extreme slowness of the work. Each day’s work sometimes added only a few millimeters to the length. “There were moments we almost gave up,” Wang recalled. The work required not just skill, but great patience. After 126,000 hours of effort, the 8.2-meter-long piece was finally finished. The moment it was cut from the loom (织布机), the workshop was filled with cheers and relieved smiles. Wang felt a deep joy: “This shows our craft is not just history; it is still alive,” she said. The project did more than complete a weaving. It changed a life — the life of her son, Wang Bo. He once saw kesi as old-fashioned and built his own business far from home. However, upon returning during the pandemic, he watched his mother devote herself to the loom. Touched by her passion and realizing the craft might disappear, he made a big decision: to leave his job and learn the family art. “Choosing kesi is like walking a long, narrow road,” Wang Bo said. Although it takes much time and brings little money, he finds true meaning in it. Now, he is creating new kesi products for everyday use. He also helps teach young students, hoping they too will appreciate this ancient beauty. Through their shared dedication, the art of kesi is being warmly passed on. It honors the past, while weaving its way into the future. 4. What was the main challenge in the project? A. The extremely slow daily progress. B. The much larger scale of the copy. C. The shortage of painting materials. D. The long early training period. 5. What was key to completing the kesi work? A. The pursuit of personal artistic fame. B. A strict division of labor among weavers. C. Perfect teamwork and great patience. D. Advanced looms and public support. 6. Why did Wang Bo decide to learn the kesi craft? A. To learn a traditional skill. B. To preserve the dying craft. C. To change his career path. D. To fulfill his mother’s wish. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The History of Silk Weaving. B. A Long Journey, a Regretful Choice. C. The Future of an Ancient Art. D. Two Generations, a Shared Dream. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】织工王鹏巍耗费多年心血缂丝复刻名画，其子深受触动回乡学艺，两代人携手坚守，让古老缂丝技艺得以传承并走向新生。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“What truly tested their resolve, however, was the extreme slowness of the work.(然而，真正考验他们决心的是这项工作进度极其缓慢。)”可知，项目最主要的挑战是每日制作进度十分缓慢。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Wang and her team of ten weavers needed to work perfectly together.(王鹏巍和十名织工需要默契协作。)”以及第三段“The work required not just skill, but great patience.(这份工作不仅需要技艺，还极大考验耐心。)”可知，默契的团队合作与十足耐心是完成作品的关键。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Touched by her passion and realizing the craft might disappear, he made a big decision: to leave his job and learn the family art.(他被母亲的热忱打动，意识到这项技艺濒临失传，于是决定辞职学习这门家族手艺。)”可知，王博想要传承濒临消失的缂丝技艺。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Through their shared dedication, the art of kesi is being warmly passed on.(凭借他们共同的坚守，缂丝技艺得以薪火相传。)”结合全文母子二人坚守传承技艺的故事可知，文章主要讲织工王鹏巍耗费多年心血缂丝复刻名画，其子深受触动回乡学艺，两代人携手坚守，让古老缂丝技艺得以传承并走向新生。所以D项“Two Generations, a Shared Dream.(两代匠心，共筑一梦)”契合文章主旨。 C Science, for all its benefits, operates in a moral grey area. We seldom acknowledge how profoundly animal life supports the research yielding our medicines and safety regulations. In the UK alone, 2024 saw 2.64 million officially approved scientific procedures on live animals, many causing suffering or death. However, a recent government plan proposes phasing out animal testing, suggesting that emerging technologies could largely replace animals in the scientific efforts. The UK has previously banned animal testing for cosmetics (化妆品) and restricted its research use, but many widespread practices, like causing tumours (肿瘤) in mice for cancer research, remain accepted despite their cruelty. When animal welfare comes into conflict with human benefit, collective compassion often reaches its limit. Success relies on convincing both scientists and the public that trusted methods can be replaced by equally or more effective alternatives. Fortunately, workable alternatives are emerging. “Organ-on-a-chip” systems use lab-grown cells to imitate bodily functions. Meanwhile, machine learning is good at predicting drug toxic effects. These methods won’t offer perfect human insights, but neither do animal tests, as evidenced by the classic example of paracetamol, which is safe for humans but poisonous to cats. Unlike vague (模糊的) AI strategies, this government plan appears concrete. It commits £60 million in funding, focuses on testing specific animal-free alternatives, and encouragingly outlines a decade-long roadmap for their maturation, avoiding the mistake of treating technology as a cure-all. This shift represents both a scientific and economic opportunity. Animal testing not only raises serious ethical questions, but also is a costly and slow method. With the EU and US also seeking reductions, there is a global market for the relevant knowledge and experience. Most importantly, a moral duty exists to free these animals. While past policies reduced the use of popular species like dogs, today 95% of lab animals are rodents, birds, or fish. They, too deserve ethical consideration as we strive for humane scientific progress. 8. What is the UK government’s new plan? A. To stop animal tests immediately. B. To end animal tests gradually with new tech. C. To limit animal tests to cosmetics. D. To expand medical research by animal tests. 9. What can we know from paragraph 2? A. The major barrier to taking the place of animal tests. B. The continuing widespread use of cosmetic tests today. C. The ethical conflict between different cultures. D. The great effect of earlier bans on animal testing. 10. How will the government carry out the plan? A. By promoting vague AI strategies for prediction. B. By funding tests and setting a ten-year roadmap. C. By depending only on “organ-on-a-chip” systems. D. By treating new technologies as a cure-all solution. 11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To state the economic reason. B. To defend a lot of species. C. To demand an immediate ban. D. To explain the need for change. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲的是英国政府计划逐步淘汰动物实验，用新兴技术替代动物用于科学研究，并分析了其背后的伦理、科学和经济原因。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“However, a recent government plan proposes phasing out animal testing, suggesting that emerging technologies could largely replace animals in the scientific efforts.(然而，最近的一项政府计划提议逐步淘汰动物实验，这表明新兴技术能够在科学研究中很大程度上取代动物的使用。)”可知，英国政府的新计划是利用新技术逐步停止动物实验。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When animal welfare comes into conflict with human benefit, collective compassion often reaches its limit. Success relies on convincing both scientists and the public that trusted methods can be replaced by equally or more effective alternatives.(当动物福利与人类利益发生冲突时，集体的同情心往往也会达到极限。成功的关键在于说服科学家和公众相信，可靠的手段可以被同样有效或更有效的替代方法所取代。)”可知，从第二段中我们可以了解到取代动物实验所面临的最大障碍。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“It commits £60 million in funding, focuses on testing specific animal-free alternatives, and encouragingly outlines a decade-long roadmap for their maturation, avoiding the mistake of treating technology as a cure-all.(它承诺投入6000万英镑的资金，专注于测试特定的无动物实验替代方案，并令人鼓舞地制定了一个长达十年的成熟路线图，避免了将技术视为万能解药的错误做法。)”可知，政府将通过资助试验并制定十年发展路线图来实施该计划。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Animal testing not only raises serious ethical questions, but also is a costly and slow method. With the EU and US also seeking reductions, there is a global market for the relevant knowledge and experience. Most importantly, a moral duty exists to free these animals. While past policies reduced the use of popular species like dogs, today 95% of lab animals are rodents, birds, or fish. They, too deserve ethical consideration as we strive for humane scientific progress.(动物实验不仅引发了严重的伦理问题，而且是一种成本高昂且耗时的方法。随着欧盟和美国也在寻求减少动物实验，相关的知识和经验在全球范围内有着广阔的市场。最重要的是，解放这些动物是一种道德责任。虽然过去的政策减少了狗等受欢迎物种的使用，但如今95%的实验动物是啮齿类动物、鸟类或鱼类。在我们追求人道的科学进步的过程中，它们同样值得被给予伦理上的关怀。)”可知，作者写最后一段的目的是解释变革的必要性。 D In modern therapy culture, a popular view claims that you shouldn’t try to change — you are perfectly imperfect, and the right people will tolerate your every idiosyncrasy (怪癖). Similarly, personality has traditionally been defined as a stable set of traits. Many believe they are trapped by the genetic hand they were dealt at birth. However, these ideas are increasingly being challenged. Research shows that personality is more fluid than we think. A previous study found that just three months of digital coaching could reliably increase emotional stability and self-discipline. This supports the idea that personality traits can be intentionally developed. Even the concepts of introversion (内向) and extroversion, popularized by Carl Jung, are not fixed categories. Jung himself stated that these traits are not black-and-white categories, but rather a continuum. Our behavior and personality can vary depending on context. Who you are on a cold winter Wednesday may differ from who you are on a sunny Saturday. This malleability (可塑性) suggests that we are not locked into one version of ourselves. Social connection plays a crucial role in well-being. Displaying extroverted traits, even occasionally, is linked with better stress resistance, such as lower blood pressure and heart rate. The Harvard Study of Adult Development, an 80-year project tracking hundreds of lives, concluded that thriving social relationships are the most important factor in a happy and healthy life. Despite this, the growing popularity of the introvert label — often worn as a badge (徽章)— may encourage people to avoid social situations. Over-identifying with introversion can limit personal growth. Research shows that it’s not actual introversion, but the strength of one’s identity as an introvert, that makes acting outgoing uncomfortable. Challenging the idea of rigid personality types could lead to greater happiness. Whether you’re an introvert or extrovert; developing underused traits — like reflection or emotional regulation — is possible. The first step is accepting that change is not only possible, but sometimes necessary. 12. How is the author’s opinion introduced in paragraph 1? A. By providing statistical data. B. By offering a solution. C. By presenting popular beliefs D. By asking some questions 13. What does the underlined word “fluid” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Complex. B. Fixed. C. Changeable. D. Predictable. 14. Why does the author mention “a cold winter Wednesday” and “a sunny Saturday” in paragraph 3? A. To illustrate how personality changes in different situations. B. To prove people’s inner feelings seldom change over time. C. To show weather can shape one’s personality permanently. D. To contrast daily behaviors on different days of the week. 15. What can be inferred about people who strongly identify as introverts? A. They are born disliking social activities. B. They have their personal growth severely limited. C. They possess greater emotional stability. D. They might avoid beneficial social behaviors. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要挑战了“性格是固定不变的”这一传统观念，提出性格具有可塑性，可以被有意改变和发展。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In modern therapy culture, a popular view claims that you shouldn’t try to change — you are perfectly imperfect, and the right people will tolerate your every idiosyncrasy (怪癖). Similarly, personality has traditionally been defined as a stable set of traits. Many believe they are trapped by the genetic hand they were dealt at birth.(在现代的治疗理念中，有一种流行的观点认为，我们不应试图去改变自己——因为我们本身就是不完美的，而合适的人会包容我们所有的独特之处。同样，传统上认为人格是由一系列稳定的特质所构成的。许多人认为自己被出生时所赋予的基因所束缚。)”可知，第 1 段中作者的观点是通过阐述普遍看法引出的。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“A previous study found that just three months of digital coaching could reliably increase emotional stability and self-discipline. This supports the idea that personality traits can be intentionally developed. Even the concepts of introversion (内向) and extroversion, popularized by Carl Jung, are not fixed categories. Jung himself stated that these traits are not black-and-white categories, but rather a continuum.(一项先前的研究发现，仅仅三个月的数字辅导就能可靠地提高情绪稳定性和自律性。这支持了性格特征可以被有意培养的观点。即使是由Carl Jung推广的内向和外向的概念，也并非固定的类别。Jung本人就曾指出，这些特征并非非黑即白的类别，而是一个连续体。)”可知，人的性格是易变的， 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Our behavior and personality can vary depending on context. Who you are on a cold winter Wednesday may differ from who you are on a sunny Saturday.(我们的行为和性格会因环境而有所不同。在寒冷的冬日周三的你，可能与在阳光明媚的周六的你截然不同。)”可知，作者在第三段中提及“一个寒冷的周三”和“一个阳光明媚的周六”是为了说明人在不同情况下性格会发生变化。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Despite this, the growing popularity of the introvert label — often worn as a badge (徽章)— may encourage people to avoid social situations.(尽管如此，随着“内向者”这一标签的日益流行（常被当作一种标志来使用），可能会促使人们避免参加社交活动。)”可知，自认典型内向的人或许会回避有益的社交行为。 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。 Foraging (觅食), or looking in nature for wild food sources, never went away completely. Nowadays, it can be a fun hobby. Edible (可食用的) plants grow in surprising abundance around you.

As I explored the temple, ____45____ (surround) by polite visitors, it became clear how much his influence is still felt in Chinese culture. 【答案】36. myself 37. who## that 38. a 39. was struck 40. to pose 41. on## upon 42. honesty 43. living 44. generations 45. surrounded 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者参观北京孔庙的感受。 【36题详解】 考查反身代词。句意：上个月，我完成了二级中文课程，发现自己在思考接下来该做什么。此处主语和宾语为同一人，所以用反身代词myself作宾语，强调“我自己”。 【37题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：由于下一门课程要到春天才开始，我决定去参观北京的孔庙，这是一个纪念2000多年前为中国教育体系奠定基础的人的地方。先行词为the man，指人，在定语从句“laid the foundation of China’s educational system over 2,000 years ago”中作主语，所以用关系代词who或that引导。 【38题详解】 考查冠词。句意：在一个明媚的秋日午后，我穿过繁忙的街道，街道两旁是色彩斑斓的树木。此处表示泛指“一个明媚的秋日午后”，bright是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词a。 【39题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：就在那一刻，一种全新的感觉涌上心头。根据语境，此处描述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。主语I与strike之间是被动关系，即我被某种感觉触动，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，其结构为“was/were +过去分词”，主语是I，所以用was struck。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在院子里，一尊孔子雕像傲然矗立。一家人正在鼓励一个小男孩在雕像前摆姿势祈祷。encourage sb. to do sth.为固定搭配，意为“鼓励某人做某事”，所以此处用to pose。 【41题详解】 考查介词。句意：看着这一幕，我思考着孔子是如何通过倡导教育平等来改变教育的——这在他那个时代是闻所未闻的事情。reflect on/upon为固定搭配，意为“思考；反思”，所以此处填on或upon。 【42题详解】 考查名词。句意：他的教义带来了诸如诚实、勤奋、尊重和孝道等价值观，塑造了中国社会的道德基础。根据空前的介词like以及后面的“hard work, respect, and filial piety”可知，此处应用名词honesty，意为“诚实”，与它们并列。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：尽管生活在一个混乱的时代，他对美德生活的愿景成为了一种持久的民族性格的基石。Despite为介词，后接动名词作宾语，所以用living。 【44题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：即使在今天，他的智慧仍在激励着一代又一代的人。generation为可数名词，此处表示复数概念，应用复数形式generations，意为“一代又一代的人”，作宾语。 【45题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：当我在孔庙中游览，被彬彬有礼的游客们环绕时，很明显，孔子的影响在中国文化中依然深远。分析句子结构，句中已有谓语动词became，此处应用非谓语动词。I与surround之间是被动关系，即我被游客环绕，所以用过去分词surrounded作状语，表被动和完成。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是校英语报Campus Watch的记者李华，近期校报针对高三学生的运动情况进行了调查，请你根据以下统计表，撰写一篇英文报道。内容包括： （1）简述图表反映的运动现状； （2）谈谈运动的重要性并发出倡议。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Recently.

She bought her house 20 years ago. Jim and Iris bought the house next to Molly’s at the same time. They were good friends and good neighbours for 20 years, but now Jim’s house is empty. Jim and Iris have moved to Florida to live near their daughter and grandchildren. “I hope my new neighbours are as nice as Jim and Iris,” thought Molly. “I will be very upset if some young people buy the house. They will be noisy. They might have children and pets.” A few days later, a moving truck parked outside the house next door. Molly stood at the window of her living room and watched. She saw sofas, tables and beds go into the house. She saw the moving men carry many boxes into the house. “Oh no!” she thought. “A child!” Next, a moving man carried a red bicycle into the garden. It was clearly a child’s bike — too small for an adult. “Another child! Shouting! Screaming! I don’t want to live next door to children.” Molly looked at her watch. It was time to go to the community centre. Every Friday, there is a free gardening workshop there. Gustav Raer is a famous horticulturist (园艺家). He grows beautiful flowers and rare plants. He has designed award-winning gardens all over the world. Now he is retired, but he still likes to garden. So he gives free gardening demonstrations at community centres. “Molly put on her coat and went out of her house. She locked the door and hurried down the street. The men were still taking boxes and furniture out of the truck. “I don’t know if I will enjoy the gardening workshop today”, thought Molly. “I am so unhappy. I love my house. I love my quiet street. But now there will be noisy children. Everything will change.” 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。 When Molly arrived at the community centre, she found Gustav Baer absent. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, the doorbell rang and Molly was surprised to find Gustav Baer at the door. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： When Molly arrived at the community centre, she found Gustav Baer absent. “Mr Baer cannot come today,” the manager explained. “He’s moving into a new house this week, so he’s too busy. But his friend will show us how to plant roses.” Molly sighed. A new house? She wondered where. The workshop went on, but she couldn’t focus. Her mind kept returning to the red bicycle next door. After the class, she walked home slowly, dreading the noise that awaited her. To her surprise, the moving truck was gone. The house stood quiet, its lights off. The next day, the doorbell rang and Molly was surprised to find Gustav Baer at the door. Gustav smiled warmly. “Excuse me, are you Molly?” he asked gently. “I have often seen you at the gardening workshop. I believe we’re neighbours now.” Feeling both surprised and awkward, Molly admitted that she had once worried noisy children would move next door and disturb the peace of the street. Gustav laughed softly and comforted her. He told her the bicycles belonged to his grandchildren, who only came to visit on weekends. Besides, he loved a quiet life as well. That weekend, his grandchildren knocked on her door with a pot of flowers. “For you, kind neighbour!” Molly smiled, realizing how wrong she had been. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述莫莉的老邻居搬走了，她担心新住户带着孩子会制造噪音，打破宁静生活。隔壁来了搬家卡车，还出现了儿童自行车，这让她十分郁闷。她前去参加每周的园艺讲座，却因即将到来的变化而心绪不佳。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写莫莉得知园艺老师因搬家缺席，她心神不宁地回家，却发现隔壁已安静下来。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写园艺师古斯塔夫成了莫莉的邻居，打消了她的顾虑。后来孩子们送花，莫莉自知误会了对方。 2.续写线索：园艺师缺席——莫莉回家——园艺师成为邻居——莫莉顾虑消除——莫莉感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①集中精力于：focus/concentrate ②承认：admit/confess ③喜爱：love/be fond of 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②尴尬的：awkward/embarrassed 【点睛】[高分句型1].
