“It was written in some sense,” Sophie Blake, a physics professor, would end up in observational cosmology — the study of the origin and development of the universe using specialized telescopes. “I’m not going to lie. My father was a physicist. My mother’s an astronomer. But no kid wants to be like their parents,” she jokes, semi-seriously.
Blake always enjoyed building things like a child engineer. It wasn’t unusual for her to experiment with her father’s research equipment. She thanks, in part, her short attention period for her inquisitiveness, “I am always looking for something.”
For the last few years, Blake has been searching for signs of the universe’s early existence — from the birth of the first stars to the “cosmic (宇宙的) dark ages” — and she’s building her own equipment to explore beyond the known universe, focusing on its distant past with novel radio technology. Since 2017, Blake and her team have been engineering and planting radio telescopes in two of the Earth’s most remote (and quietest) locations for the best shot at hearing the earliest voice of the universe.
Initially, Blake planned a PhD in particle (粒子) physics but switched direction after a visit to a lab with messy equipment and tools everywhere at the California Institute of Technology. “I didn’t know about observational cosmology then but thought, ‘Whatever this is, I want to do that.’”
She spent a year at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, after conducting experiments of a balloon-borne microwave telescope launched from McMurdo. “That really inspired my love for remote places,” she said.
Eventually, she wanted to engineer her own instruments. After her year at the South Pole, she joined the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. At that time, the site decision was made for the largest radio telescope group on Earth.
“This was also a leap of faith because I really couldn’t continue the work I was doing before.” Blake recalls. “I had never done radio before but I thought, ‘Let me give this a try and see how it goes.’”
24. What can we infer from Blake’s joke in paragraph 1?
A. She follows in her parents’ footsteps. B. She develops an interest in telescopes.
C. She lies about her parents’ professions. D. She lives up to her parents’ expectations.
25. What does the underlined word “inquisitiveness” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Talent. B. Courage. C. Curiosity. D. Intelligence.
26. What stimulated Blake’s passion for distant places?
A. Her visit to a lab in a university. B. Her wish to build her own equipment.
C. Her faith in hearing the cosmic sound. D. Her experience at a South Pole Station.
27. Which of the following best describes Blake?
A. Confident and caring. B. Generous and optimistic.
C. Modest and open-minded. D. Adventurous and determined.

Native wild horses in North America went extinct 10,000 years ago.In the 16th century, European settlers brought domesticated (驯化了的) horses to this continent,and their population multiplied.Some people consider them as a reintroduced native species,while others see them as invasive pests that damage ecosystems.Today there are more wild horses in the American West than the land can support,and the government has to control their numbers through birth-control vaccines and occasional but controversial killings.
However,Erick Lundgren,a postdoc at Aarhus University,notes that large plant-eaters play a crucial role in the ecosystem,where grass and shrubs are either consumed by animals or burned. Therefore,reintroducing extinct plant-eating mammals,like wild horses in this case, could potentially reduce the occurrence of fires.He advocates taking them off the rang-elands (牧场),where they’re hated for competing with cattle for food,and strategically placing them where they can do what they do best and benefit the environment.
Although conservationists generally prefer native organisms to restore ecosystems, non-native species can fill in the ecological gaps left by extinct animals.A lot of research still looks at how bad invasive species are for the environment,but that’s not the only possibility. For example,Australian saltwater crocodiles that were nearly extinct in the 1970s are now a species of“least concern”,thanks to the invasive pigs they’ve come to feast on.
“People will protest that a species doesn’t belong here.But the word ‘belong’isn’t science;it’s nativism.”Lundgren said.Many of the areas we consider“wilderness”today were ecologic created by native people who pruned (修剪) plants and watched over controlled burns.“We’re changing the planet quickly yet refusing to let the living beings on it change with it.”he said.If we take away the issue of belonging and consciously assign the non-native species a role to play,what we’re left with is a wilder and more diverse world.
28. What do we know about wild horses in North America today?
A. Their population grows rapidly.
B. They are native to the continent.
C. Their living spaces are narrowing.
D. They are protected from being killed.
29. How could we use wild horses to control wildfires?
A. Leave them undisturbed.
B. Remove them from rang-elands.
C. Promote their reproductive rate.
D. Utilize their grass-eating nature.
30. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The value of non-native animals.
B. The efforts in ecosystem restoration.
C. The need for protecting native species.
D. The importance of preserving biodiversity.
31. What does the last paragraph suggest doing?
A. Reducing human impact on nature.
B. Forbidding invasion of new species.
C. Staying open to non-native animals.
D. Returning animals to native habitats.
D
Tipping points, also known as critical transitions (转变), are mathematical cliff-edges influencing everything in our life. The financial crisis of 2007-09 is often described as one. So is the moment that covid-19 went global. Anyone can spot a tipping point after it’s been crossed. But it is extremely difficult to spot them before they happen.
Computer scientists in China now show that artificial intelligence (AI) can help. In a recent study, the researchers accurately predicted the beginning of tipping points in complicated systems with the help of machine-learning algorithms (算法). It could help solve real-world problems, such as predicting floods and power failure.
To simplify their calculations, the team reduced all such problems to ones taking place within a large network of interacting nodes (节点), the individual elements within a large system. In a financial system, for example, a node might represent a company. The team then designed two artificial neural (神经的) networks to analyze such systems.
To train their model, the researchers firstly turned to simplified theoretical systems in which tipping points are known to occur. Once the model could predict these transitions, it was applied to the real-world problem of how tropical forests turn to savannah (稀树草原). This has happened many times on Earth, but the details remain mysterious. The researchers first analyzed the data from three central African regions in the past 20 years and identified the tipping points. They then wanted to see if training their algorithm on data from two of these regions could enable it to correctly predict a transition point in the third. It could.
The team then asked the algorithm to identify the conditions that drove the shift. The answer was, as expected, down to annual rainfall. But the AI was able to go further. The AI detailed that a slight decrease in rainfall from 1, 800 mm to 1, 630 mm led to a minor 5% drop in tree cover, but a further decrease to 1, 620 mm caused a significant 30% drop. This would be a textbook critical transition. And by predicting it from the raw data, the researchers say they have broken new ground in this field.
The team are now trying to discover what specific features the Al identifies to make these predictions, which could help better predict everything from infectious outbreaks to the next stock market crash.
32. How did the team simplify the calculations?
A. By limiting the problems within a large network.
B. By focusing on the individual elements in a network.
C. By transforming the problems into ones in a network.
D. By reducing the number of problems in each network.
33. Why was the algorithm trained on data from two central African regions?
A. To improve its ability of prediction. B. To check its analysis of the data.
C. To perfect its solutions to problems. D. To test the accuracy of its prediction.
34. What breakthrough did the AI make in the study?
A. It revealed the idea that tipping points are predictable.
B. It identified a critical transition point in the tree cover.
C. It confirmed previous theories about rainfall and tree cover.
D. It predicted the future expansion of savannahs in central Africa.
35. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?
A. The Analysis of Rainfall: AI and Tree Cover
B. Spotting Tipping Points: A Big Challenge for AI
C. Machine Learning: Predicting Critical Moment
D. Critical Transitions: The Key to Making Predictions

When I was asked to take part in a forest bathing, I packed a swimsuit, assuming it must involve a refreshing swim in the water. ____36____
I met Forest Therapy (治疗) guide Melanic Choukas- Bradley and several other women who’d come along for the adventure at an urban forest. Here, I began to get it. Forest bathing isn’t a bath. We sat on the banks of the river, but we did not get in the water. ____37____ We did walk the forest tracks, but we wandered with no destination in mind.
The aim of forest bathing, Choukas-Bradley explained, is to slow down and become fully bathed in the natural environment. She helped us tune in to the forest’s smells, tastes and sights. ___38___ As we passed through the trees, we touched their trunks, feeling the roughness beneath our fingers. We smelled the flowers, each breath being a celebration of nature’s beauty.
There’s a growing body of evidence that shows forest bathing can help boost mood and reduce stress. ____39____ A 2011 study comparing city walks to forest walks found the forest environment led to greater reductions in blood pressure, despite both activities requiring equal physical effort.
____40____ Most of human history was spent in environments that lack buildings and walls, and our bodies have adapted to living in the natural world. But today most of us spend much of our life indoors. Perhaps the new forest bathing trend is a recognition that many of us need a little nudge to get back out there.
A. It’s not a hike, either.
B. It turns out that my interpretation was literal.
C. The benefits of nature can be accessed simply.
D. Forest bathing frees us from worldly engagements.
E. The idea that spending time in nature is good is not new.
F. Indeed, medical researchers have demonstrated its benefits.
G. We took in the peaceful surroundings by using all our senses.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was incredibly proud of my school, the Maplewood Elementary. It connected me to my roots, as my father and grandfather had all graduated from here.
So, when our teacher Mr. Dow announced a group project to create a brochure (小册子) about our school for its 100th anniversary, I was thrilled. The best three brochures would be displayed in the school library, which was a chance to show the new students how wonderful our school was.
I was paired with two classmates: Jake, who loved photography, and Lily, who had a gift for writing. Working with others could be fun, right? But my enthusiasm quickly faded.
Our first meeting was a disaster. When we discussed which part of the school we should focus on, Jake kept talking about cameras and photos. I turned to Lily, hoping for some support. But she simply shrugged and said, “I’m not really into this. It sounds boring.” Jake nodded in agreement. The project seemed to be harder than I thought.
At our next meeting, I tried to lead the conversation back to the project. I shared some interesting facts I had researched about the school. However, neither of them seemed interested. Jake had promised to gather materials from the library, but instead he showed us photos taken on the weekend. Lily hadn’t started her part of the research either, claiming she had been too busy. I felt like I was the only one who cared.
Back home, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I stayed up late that night, trying to create the brochure by myself. But no matter how hard I tried, the result was far from satisfactory. I was exhausted and disheartened. My mom noticed I was upset. “You can’t do this alone,” she gently reminded me. “Jake and Lily have talents that can make this project shine. You just need to find a way to get them involved.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;

C. The skills of understanding body language.
20. What can we learn from the talk?
A. It’s important to explain oneself clearly.
B. A fast speaker often uses body language.
C. Signs can help people understand a speaker.
【答案】17. B 18. A 19. C 20. C
【解析】
【原文】Sometimes you can learn more about what a person is trying to say just by watching instead of listening. You might be talking to someone about an idea you have. He might say he is very interested in your idea, but watch his face. Is he looking at you or are his eyes moving around the room just because he is tired of what you are saying? Is he standing still waiting for you to give him some more information, or is he moving his feet, a sign that he wishes he were somewhere else? It’s important to watch other people’s body language carefully because it provides a lot of useful information. Sometimes a person will be speaking too quickly or use words that you don’t understand. If you pay attention to the signs the person is giving, you might still be able to follow along, even if you are not sure of the meaning of the words. This is especially important when watching TV or in other situations where you cannot ask the speaker to slow down or explain himself more clearly.

“It was written in some sense,” Sophie Blake, a physics professor, would end up in observational cosmology — the study of the origin and development of the universe using specialized telescopes. “I’m not going to lie. My father was a physicist. My mother’s an astronomer. But no kid wants to be like their parents,” she jokes, semi-seriously.
Blake always enjoyed building things like a child engineer. It wasn’t unusual for her to experiment with her father’s research equipment. She thanks, in part, her short attention period for her inquisitiveness, “I am always looking for something.”
For the last few years, Blake has been searching for signs of the universe’s early existence — from the birth of the first stars to the “cosmic (宇宙的) dark ages” — and she’s building her own equipment to explore beyond the known universe, focusing on its distant past with novel radio technology. Since 2017, Blake and her team have been engineering and planting radio telescopes in two of the Earth’s most remote (and quietest) locations for the best shot at hearing the earliest voice of the universe.
Initially, Blake planned a PhD in particle (粒子) physics but switched direction after a visit to a lab with messy equipment and tools everywhere at the California Institute of Technology. “I didn’t know about observational cosmology then but thought, ‘Whatever this is, I want to do that.’”
She spent a year at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, after conducting experiments of a balloon-borne microwave telescope launched from McMurdo. “That really inspired my love for remote places,” she said.
Eventually, she wanted to engineer her own instruments. After her year at the South Pole, she joined the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. At that time, the site decision was made for the largest radio telescope group on Earth.
“This was also a leap of faith because I really couldn’t continue the work I was doing before.” Blake recalls. “I had never done radio before but I thought, ‘Let me give this a try and see how it goes.’”
24. What can we infer from Blake’s joke in paragraph 1?
A. She follows in her parents’ footsteps. B. She develops an interest in telescopes.
C. She lies about her parents’ professions. D. She lives up to her parents’ expectations.
25. What does the underlined word “inquisitiveness” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Talent. B. Courage. C. Curiosity. D. Intelligence.
26. What stimulated Blake’s passion for distant places?
A. Her visit to a lab in a university. B. Her wish to build her own equipment.
C. Her faith in hearing the cosmic sound. D. Her experience at a South Pole Station.
27. Which of the following best describes Blake?
A. Confident and caring. B. Generous and optimistic.
C. Modest and open-minded. D. Adventurous and determined.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述Sophie Blake改变研究方向——从粒子物理学转向宇宙观测学——的经历和之后在该领域所做相关研究工作。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段““It was written in some sense,” Sophie Blake, a physics professor, would end up in observational cosmology—the study of the origin and development of the universe using specialized telescopes. “I’m not going to lie. My father was a physicist. My mother’s an astronomer. But no kid wants to be like their parents,” she jokes, semi-seriously.(物理学教授索菲·布莱克最终选择了观测宇宙学——用专门的望远镜研究宇宙的起源和发展——“从某种意义上说,它是写出来的。”“我不想撒谎。我父亲是个物理学家。我妈妈是天文学家。但没有孩子想要像他们的父母一样,”她半严肃地开玩笑说)”可知,布莱克最终还是继承了父母的事业,成为了宇宙学家。故选A。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“I am always looking for something.(我总是在寻找一些东西)”可知,她总是寻找一些东西,说明充满好奇心,故划线部分单词意思为“好奇心”。故选C。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“She spent a year at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, after conducting experiments of a balloon-borne microwave telescope launched from McMurdo. “That really inspired my love for remote places,” she said.(她在阿蒙森-斯科特南极站呆了一年,在那里进行了从麦克默多发射的气球载微波望远镜的实验。“这真的激发了我对偏远地区的热爱,”她说)”可知,在南极站的经历激发了布莱克对远方的热情。故选D。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““I didn’t know about observational cosmology then but thought, ‘Whatever this is, I want to do that.’”(“当时我还不知道观测宇宙学,但我想,‘不管这是什么,我都想做。’”)”可知,Blake 是一个坚决果断的人;根据最后一段““I had never done radio before but I thought, ‘Let me give this a try and see how it goes.’”(“我以前从来没有做过广播,但我想,‘让我试一试,看看会怎么样。’”)”可知,她还是一个有冒险精神、敢于尝试新鲜事物的人。 故选D。
C
Native wild horses in North America went extinct 10,000 years ago.In the 16th century, European settlers brought domesticated (驯化了的) horses to this continent,and their population multiplied.Some people consider them as a reintroduced native species,while others see them as invasive pests that damage ecosystems.Today there are more wild horses in the American West than the land can support,and the government has to control their numbers through birth-control vaccines and occasional but controversial killings.
However,Erick Lundgren,a postdoc at Aarhus University,notes that large plant-eaters play a crucial role in the ecosystem,where grass and shrubs are either consumed by animals or burned. Therefore,reintroducing extinct plant-eating mammals,like wild horses in this case, could potentially reduce the occurrence of fires.He advocates taking them off the rang-elands (牧场),where they’re hated for competing with cattle for food,and strategically placing them where they can do what they do best and benefit the environment.
Although conservationists generally prefer native organisms to restore ecosystems, non-native species can fill in the ecological gaps left by extinct animals.A lot of research still looks at how bad invasive species are for the environment,but that’s not the only possibility. For example,Australian saltwater crocodiles that were nearly extinct in the 1970s are now a species of“least concern”,thanks to the invasive pigs they’ve come to feast on.
“People will protest that a species doesn’t belong here.But the word ‘belong’isn’t science;it’s nativism.”Lundgren said.Many of the areas we consider“wilderness”today were ecologic created by native people who pruned (修剪) plants and watched over controlled burns.“We’re changing the planet quickly yet refusing to let the living beings on it change with it.”he said.If we take away the issue of belonging and consciously assign the non-native species a role to play,what we’re left with is a wilder and more diverse world.
28. What do we know about wild horses in North America today?
A. Their population grows rapidly.
B. They are native to the continent.
C. Their living spaces are narrowing.
D. They are protected from being killed.
29. How could we use wild horses to control wildfires?
A. Leave them undisturbed.
B. Remove them from rang-elands.
C. Promote their reproductive rate.
D. Utilize their grass-eating nature.
30. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The value of non-native animals.
B. The efforts in ecosystem restoration.
C. The need for protecting native species.
D. The importance of preserving biodiversity.
31. What does the last paragraph suggest doing?
A. Reducing human impact on nature.
B. Forbidding invasion of new species.
C. Staying open to non-native animals.
D. Returning animals to native habitats.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文,文章通过控制北美野马数量的方式来告诉我们,对于外来物种要保持开放性的态度,它们也是利于生态修复的。
【详解】1. 细节理解题。根据第一段“In the 16th century, European settlers brought domesticated(驯化了的)horses to this continent,and their population multiplied.(16世纪,欧洲殖民者把驯养的马带到了这个大陆,马的数量成倍增加)”和“Today there are more wild horses in the American West than the land can support,and the government has to control their numbers through birth-control vaccines and occasional but controversial killings.(如今,美国西部的野马数量已经超过了土地所能承受的范围,政府不得不通过避孕疫苗和偶尔有争议的杀戮来控制它们的数量)”可知,如今北美野马的数量增长迅速。故选A项。
2. 细节理解题。根据第二段“However,Erick Lundgren,a postdoc at Aarhus University,notes that large plant-eaters play a crucial role in the ecosystem,where grass and shrubs are either consumed by animals or burned.(然而,奥胡斯大学的博士后埃里克·伦德格伦指出,大型食草动物在生态系统中扮演着至关重要的角色,在那里,草和灌木要么被动物吃掉,要么被烧掉)”和“He advocates taking them off the rang-elands(牧场),where they’re hated for competing with cattle for food,and strategically placing them where they can do what they do best and benefit the environment.(他主张把它们从牧场上赶出去,因为在那里它们因与牛争夺食物而受到憎恨,并战略性地把它们安置在它们能做得最好的地方,并有益于环境)”可知,可以利用野马吃草的本性来控制火灾。故选D项。
3. 主旨大意题。第三段第一句话是中心句,“Although conservationists generally prefer native organisms to restore ecosystems,non-native species can fill in the ecological gaps left by extinct animals.(虽然环保主义者普遍认为应该利用本地物种来修复生态,非本地物种可以填补灭绝动物留下的生态空白)”及后文举例可知,本段说明了非本地动物的价值。如果外来物种作用发挥得当,是可以有利于生态修复的。故选A项。
4. 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Many of the areas we consider“wilderness”today were ecologic created by native people who pruned(修剪)plants and watched over controlled burns.“We’re changing the planet quickly yet refusing to let the living beings on it change with it.”he said.If we take away the issue of belonging and consciously assign the non-native species a role to play,what we’re left with is a wilder and more diverse world.(许多我们今天认为的“荒野”地区都是由当地人修剪植物和监督控制燃烧的生态创造的。“我们正在迅速改变地球,却拒绝让地球上的生物跟着改变。”他说。如果我们抛开归属的问题,有意识地给非本地物种分配一个角色,我们剩下的是一个更狂野、更多样化的世界)”可知,文章最后一段告诉我们对于外来物种要保持开放性的态度,不能一概否定。故选C项。
D
Tipping points, also known as critical transitions (转变), are mathematical cliff-edges influencing everything in our life. The financial crisis of 2007-09 is often described as one. So is the moment that covid-19 went global. Anyone can spot a tipping point after it’s been crossed. But it is extremely difficult to spot them before they happen.
Computer scientists in China now show that artificial intelligence (AI) can help. In a recent study, the researchers accurately predicted the beginning of tipping points in complicated systems with the help of machine-learning algorithms (算法). It could help solve real-world problems, such as predicting floods and power failure.
To simplify their calculations, the team reduced all such problems to ones taking place within a large network of interacting nodes (节点), the individual elements within a large system. In a financial system, for example, a node might represent a company. The team then designed two artificial neural (神经的) networks to analyze such systems.
To train their model, the researchers firstly turned to simplified theoretical systems in which tipping points are known to occur. Once the model could predict these transitions, it was applied to the real-world problem of how tropical forests turn to savannah (稀树草原). This has happened many times on Earth, but the details remain mysterious. The researchers first analyzed the data from three central African regions in the past 20 years and identified the tipping points. They then wanted to see if training their algorithm on data from two of these regions could enable it to correctly predict a transition point in the third. It could.
The team then asked the algorithm to identify the conditions that drove the shift. The answer was, as expected, down to annual rainfall. But the AI was able to go further. The AI detailed that a slight decrease in rainfall from 1, 800 mm to 1, 630 mm led to a minor 5% drop in tree cover, but a further decrease to 1, 620 mm caused a significant 30% drop. This would be a textbook critical transition. And by predicting it from the raw data, the researchers say they have broken new ground in this field.
The team are now trying to discover what specific features the Al identifies to make these predictions, which could help better predict everything from infectious outbreaks to the next stock market crash.
32. How did the team simplify the calculations?
A. By limiting the problems within a large network.
B. By focusing on the individual elements in a network.
C. By transforming the problems into ones in a network.
D. By reducing the number of problems in each network.
33. Why was the algorithm trained on data from two central African regions?
A. To improve its ability of prediction. B. To check its analysis of the data.
C. To perfect its solutions to problems. D. To test the accuracy of its prediction.
34. What breakthrough did the AI make in the study?
A. It revealed the idea that tipping points are predictable.
B. It identified a critical transition point in the tree cover.
C. It confirmed previous theories about rainfall and tree cover.
D. It predicted the future expansion of savannahs in central Africa.
35. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?
A. The Analysis of Rainfall: AI and Tree Cover
B. Spotting Tipping Points: A Big Challenge for AI
C. Machine Learning: Predicting Critical Moment
D. Critical Transitions: The Key to Making Predictions
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. C

When I was asked to take part in a forest bathing, I packed a swimsuit, assuming it must involve a refreshing swim in the water. ____36____
I met Forest Therapy (治疗) guide Melanic Choukas- Bradley and several other women who’d come along for the adventure at an urban forest. Here, I began to get it. Forest bathing isn’t a bath. We sat on the banks of the river, but we did not get in the water. ____37____ We did walk the forest tracks, but we wandered with no destination in mind.
The aim of forest bathing, Choukas-Bradley explained, is to slow down and become fully bathed in the natural environment. She helped us tune in to the forest’s smells, tastes and sights. ___38___ As we passed through the trees, we touched their trunks, feeling the roughness beneath our fingers. We smelled the flowers, each breath being a celebration of nature’s beauty.
There’s a growing body of evidence that shows forest bathing can help boost mood and reduce stress. ____39____ A 2011 study comparing city walks to forest walks found the forest environment led to greater reductions in blood pressure, despite both activities requiring equal physical effort.
____40____ Most of human history was spent in environments that lack buildings and walls, and our bodies have adapted to living in the natural world. But today most of us spend much of our life indoors. Perhaps the new forest bathing trend is a recognition that many of us need a little nudge to get back out there.
A. It’s not a hike, either.
B. It turns out that my interpretation was literal.
C. The benefits of nature can be accessed simply.
D. Forest bathing frees us from worldly engagements.
E. The idea that spending time in nature is good is not new.
F. Indeed, medical researchers have demonstrated its benefits.
G. We took in the peaceful surroundings by using all our senses.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了什么是森林浴以及森林浴的好处等。
【36题详解】
根据上文“When I was asked to take part in a forest bathing, I packed a swimsuit, assuming it must involve a refreshing swim in the water.(当我被邀请参加森林浴时,我带上了泳衣,以为一定是在水里游个痛快)”可知,上文提到作者以为森林浴就是去游泳,即从字面上理解了这个概念。故B选项“原来我理解的是字面意思”符合语境,故选B。
【37题详解】
根据上文“We sat on the banks of the river, but we did not get in the water.(我们坐在河岸上,但没有下水)”以及后文“We did walk the forest tracks, but we wandered with no destination in mind.(我们确实沿着森林小径走了,但我们漫无目的地徘徊)”可知,本句主要是在介绍森林浴的特点,不是下水游泳,只是漫无目的地徘徊,说明是无目的的散步,不是有目的地徒步旅行。故A选项“也不是徒步旅行”符合语境,故选A。
【38题详解】
根据后文“As we passed through the trees, we touched their trunks, feeling the roughness beneath our fingers. We smelled the flowers, each breath being a celebration of nature’s beauty.(当我们穿过树林时,我们触摸着树干,感受着手指下的粗糙。我们闻着花香,每一次呼吸都是对大自然之美的赞美)”可知,提到了触摸、感受、闻着、呼吸,都是在强调感官体验。故G选项“我们运用一切感官感受这宁静的环境”符合语境,故选G。
【39题详解】
根据上文“There’s a growing body of evidence that shows forest bathing can help boost mood and reduce stress.(越来越多的证据表明,森林浴可以帮助改善情绪,减轻压力)”以及后文“A 2011 study comparing city walks to forest walks found the forest environment led to greater reductions in blood pressure, despite both activities requiring equal physical effort.(2011年的一项研究比较了城市散步和森林散步,发现森林环境更能降低血压,尽管这两种活动都需要同样的体力)”可知,本句为过渡句,指出有研究证明了森林浴可以帮助改善情绪,减轻压力,同时引出后文的研究内容。故F选项“事实上,医学研究人员已经证明了它的好处”符合语境,故选F。
【40题详解】
根据后文“Most of human history was spent in environments that lack buildings and walls, and our bodies have adapted to living in the natural world. But today most of us spend much of our life indoors. Perhaps the new forest bathing trend is a recognition that many of us need a little nudge to get back out there.(人类历史的大部分时间都是在没有建筑和墙壁的环境中度过的,我们的身体已经适应了在自然界的生活。但是今天,我们大多数人的大部分时间都在室内度过。也许新的森林浴潮流是一种认识,即我们中的许多人需要一点推动才能回到那里)”可知,后文提到人类的身体已经适应了在自然界的生活,且需要推动回到大自然,说明是在建议花时间亲近大自然。故E选项“花时间在大自然中是件好事的想法并不新鲜”符合语境,故选E。

【答案】56. without

59. that 60. to be removed
61. as 62. differs
63. the 64. escaping
65. automatically
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了煮米饭的相关知识,包括米饭的种类、煮制方法及注意事项等。
【56题详解】
考查介词。句意:对许多中国人来说,没有米饭的一顿饭是不完整的。空前为形容词,空后为名词,且无提示词,由此可知,此处为介词,结合句意,此处表示“没有米饭”,所以用介词without,意为“没有”。故填without。
【57题详解】
考查形容词。句意:煮米饭似乎没有那么复杂。此处位于系动词seem之后,应用形容词作表语,complication的形容词形式是complicated,意为“复杂的”。故填complicated。
【58题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:米饭有不同的种类。different后接可数名词复数形式,variety的复数是varieties,意为“种类”。故填varieties。
【59题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:尽管所有类型的米粒都适用相同的烹饪规则,但还是有一些区别,特别是在煮熟米粒所需的水量方面。此处为关系词引导的定语从句,先行词是the very amount of water,且先行词被the very修饰,关系词在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词that。故填that。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:首先,你应该洗米,因为那些杂质需要被去除。根据require sth./sb. to do sth.意为“要求某人或某事做”可知,此处使用动词不定式形式作宾补,此处impurities与remove之间是被动关系,所以用动词不定式的被动形式to be removed。故填to be removed。
【61题详解】
考查介词。句意:一般来说,每杯米需要加一杯半的水。as a general rule是固定短语,意为“一般来说”,所以此处用介词as。故填as。
【62题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:然而,这种测量方法因谷物的种类而异。此处为谓语动词,陈述客观事实,用一般现在时,主语this measurement是第三人称单数,所以谓语动词用differs,意为“不同”。故填differs。
【63题详解】
考查冠词。句意:盖上烹饪锅,把它放在电饭煲里。此处特指前面提到的cooking pot,所以用定冠词the。故填the。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:不要打开盖子,以防蒸汽从锅里逸出。prevent sb./sth. (from) doing sth.是固定短语,意为“阻止某人/某物做某事”,from可以省略,所以此处用动名词escaping作宾语。故填escaping。
【65题详解】
考查副词。句意:一旦锅里的温度超过沸点,电饭煲就会自动关闭。此处修饰动词短语turn itself off,应用副词,automatic的副词形式是automatically,意为“自动地”。故填automatically。

第二节(满分 25 分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was incredibly proud of my school, the Maplewood Elementary. It connected me to my roots, as my father and grandfather had all graduated from here.
So, when our teacher Mr. Dow announced a group project to create a brochure (小册子) about our school for its 100th anniversary, I was thrilled. The best three brochures would be displayed in the school library, which was a chance to show the new students how wonderful our school was.
I was paired with two classmates: Jake, who loved photography, and Lily, who had a gift for writing. Working with others could be fun, right? But my enthusiasm quickly faded.
Our first meeting was a disaster. When we discussed which part of the school we should focus on, Jake kept talking about cameras and photos. I turned to Lily, hoping for some support. But she simply shrugged and said, “I’m not really into this. It sounds boring.” Jake nodded in agreement. The project seemed to be harder than I thought.
At our next meeting, I tried to lead the conversation back to the project. I shared some interesting facts I had researched about the school. However, neither of them seemed interested. Jake had promised to gather materials from the library, but instead he showed us photos taken on the weekend. Lily hadn’t started her part of the research either, claiming she had been too busy. I felt like I was the only one who cared.
Back home, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I stayed up late that night, trying to create the brochure by myself. But no matter how hard I tried, the result was far from satisfactory. I was exhausted and disheartened. My mom noticed I was upset. “You can’t do this alone,” she gently reminded me. “Jake and Lily have talents that can make this project shine. You just need to find a way to get them involved.”

1.续写词数应为150个左右;

With only three days left, I knew I had to act.

On the final day, we presented our brochure in class.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
With only three days left, I knew I had to act. After brainstorming some ideas, I invited Jake and Lily to my house. Opening my grandfather’s diary, I pointed at the faded photo of his class. “Your camera can save the moment for the future,” I told Jake, whose eyes suddenly sparkled. Then I suggested he photograph every corner of the school like “time travelers” Meanwhile, Lily was engaged in my grandfather’s love letter, eager to bring hidden stories back to life. I was busy organizing layouts, combining historical accuracy with creativity. The clock was ticking, but our laughter replaced earlier frustration.
On the final day, we presented our brochure in class. We stood by the blackboard as everyone went through the pages. They examined the brochure carefully, with their fingers tracing the photos, narratives and timelines which connected three generations of graduates. Noticing surprise on every face, we couldn’t wait to hear Mr. Dow’s announcement of the winner. “This work isn’t just about the school anniversary,” he finally said, tapping the cover where our three names shone, “it’s about how its spirit lives through students’ cooperation.” That afternoon in the library, seeing our brochure on display, we realized our combined talents had created what none could alone.
