Passage 1

Punishing students for using phones in class is useless. A coworker tried this, threatening 4 for rule-breakers. The class complained as a result. But neither do I think it 5 to take a hands-off attitude toward students texting friends while the poor teacher 6 .
So I came up with a method. On the first day of class, I spoke to my students in a 7 , but firm way, “If I catch you using phones in class, call your 8 immediately and tell them that you love them.” When the rule was delivered in a caring way, most students accepted the rule, and yet there was always a(n) 9 . Paul was just the case. I was told he still used his phone.
One day, I caught him checking his phone in class. He felt 10 at once. I reminded him of the rule. Surprisingly, he followed it and put his phone on speaker. When his mom answered, Paul 11 said, “I’m calling just to say, ‘I love you’.” Since then, there’s been a huge 12 in classroom phone use.

I was a typical “math and science” student. My career 1 in IT. However, the repetitive job and endless overtime 2 me. And I lost a lot of quality time with my family, which filled my heart with a(n) 3 feeling, especially after I became a mother. I knew something had to 4 .

I determined to turn my 11 into a new career, where I could find freedom and creativity, and most of all, be there for my kids as they grew up. In 2018, “Forever Memories by Gwen” was 12 . I focused on local families and seniors, putting my heart into each session. Word spread that the photos I shot were so 13 that they easily won viewers over.

“I finally recognized the painting was a structural projection,” Leo 10 .He began to map the horizon with precision, treating the canvas (画布) as a mathematical challenge. He understood that a single misplaced stroke would make his tower 11 , just like a faulty calculation in a real building.
As the skyscraper 12 , Leo’s eyes brightened. “ 13 , I was skeptical at first,” he says, “but I found that the precision of an architect and the vision of a 14 are truly two sides of the same coin.” He had turned a frustrating setback into a newfound appreciation for 15 .

I went to my adviser and suggested the idea of 2 3D-printed lab tools out of some of our waste. She encouraged me and then I secured funding to 3 recycling equipment.

The center’s staff worked 3 to care for these creatures, often getting up before dawn and continuing late into the night. My main 4 was to prepare food for the animals and clean their enclosures. At first, I found the work 5 and wanted to give up. But as I got to know the animals, I began to feel a 6 connection with them. There was a lioness named Luna who had been rescued from a circus. She was 7 of humans at first, but after weeks of patient care, she slowly began to 8 us. One morning, as I was cleaning her enclosure, she walked over and gently 9 her head against the fence near me. It was a small gesture, but it filled me with 10 . By the end of the summer, I had learned more than I could have imagined — not just about animals, but about 11 , perseverance, and the importance of 12 those who cannot speak for themselves. Volunteering taught me that true 13 comes not from what we get, but from what we 14 . I returned home with a renewed sense of 15 and a determination to continue working for wildlife protection.

Passage 4
Molly didn’t want to go that way. The bushes were thick, the slope steep, and a waterfall 1 loudly nearby. But her owner gently coaxed (哄劝,劝诱) her to keep going in the New Zealand rainforest. 2 , with a cracking of branches, the hand was gone.
Ms. Johnston slipped off a cliff and fell about 180 feet into the waterfall. She floated downstream, 3 out of the water and then pressed the button on her locator. Hurt but alive, she was airlifted to 4 , but Molly was nowhere to be seen. “If it were anywhere else, people would have just gone out 5 ,” Ms. Newton, 28, said. “But because of where she was, it was going to be a multiday hike into some of the most 6 terrain in the world.”
But a search flight costs about $1,370. The small family business could not keep 7 the costs. She then turned to Facebook to ask for help. 8 joined: a thermal expert and a man with his dog Bingo, 9 that a frightened dog might respond more readily to another dog than to a human.
Rain kept them 10 for several days. Finally, Newton took off in an Airbus H120 while Ms. Newton coordinated from the base. The cool morning was 11 for thermal scanning, giving a sharper setting for spotting a 12 body. When a shape appeared on the screen, we were all crying. Back at the base, Ms. Johnston, who arrived later, got out of her car and had to sit down because of the 13 of emotions. “I just couldn’t believe it,” she said. A vet later found that Molly was 14 and healthy.
It was 160 kind strangers who worked together to 15 Molly, a black-and-white collie, back to Jessica Johnston. “It was beautiful to see,” Ms. Newton added. “It all paid off.”

Passage 5
Leo walked toward the art building with a heavy heart. He had 1 the elective (选修课) registration deadline while away at an engineering competition, making his dream classes 2 . Now, he was 3 in a painting studio — a messy world that felt like the 4 of the logic found in blueprints.
The first assignment was to 5 a skyscraper (摩天大楼) at sunset. While others splash dynamic colors, Leo’s brush struggled 6 . “I felt like an architect 7 to build with clouds instead of steel,” he says. Seeing his 8 , Ms. Gable, an experienced artist, reframed the canvas as a construction site. By treating the skyscraper as a series of angled grids (网格) and the glass as a mirror governed by the law of reflection, she provided a 9 Leo could follow.
“I finally recognized the painting was a structural projection,” Leo 10 .He began to map the horizon with precision, treating the canvas (画布) as a mathematical challenge. He understood that a single misplaced stroke would make his tower 11 , just like a faulty calculation in a real building.
As the skyscraper 12 , Leo’s eyes brightened. “ 13 , I was skeptical at first,” he says, “but I found that the precision of an architect and the vision of a 14 are truly two sides of the same coin.” He had turned a frustrating setback into a newfound appreciation for 15 .

【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了工程专业学生利奥因错过选课被迫进入绘画课,从最初的格格不入到最终发现艺术与工程共通性的故事。
1.考查动词。句意:他在外参加一项工程竞赛期间错过了选修课程的注册截止日期,导致他心仪的课程名额已满。A. missed错过,未赶上;B. met遇见,达到(要求);C. extended延长;D. set设置。根据后文“while away at an engineering competition”明确提到在外地参加工程比赛,这直接导致他没能赶上选修课注册截止日期。
2.考查形容词。句意:他在外参加一项工程竞赛期间错过了选修课程的注册截止日期,导致他心仪的课程名额已满。A. available可获得的,有空的;B. full满的,挤满的;C. limited有限的;D. scary可怕的,吓人的。根据下文“Now, he was ______ in a painting studio”可知,错过选课截止日期的直接后果是热门课程、心仪课程都会被抢光,也就是满员。正因为梦想课程都满了,他才不得不去上自己不擅长的绘画课。
3.考查形容词。句意:如今,他被困在一间画室里——这是一个杂乱无章的世界,与图纸中所体现的逻辑格格不入。A. occupied被占用的,忙碌的;B. hidden隐藏的;C. stuck被困住的,不得不待在某地的;D. lost迷路的,迷茫的。根据语境以及上文“making his dream classes _____”可知,利奥本想学工程相关课程,却因客观原因被迫进入绘画工作室,内心充满不情愿和无奈,be stuck in是固定短语,表示“陷入(不愿待的境地)”。
4.考查名词。句意:如今,他被困在一间画室里——这是一个杂乱无章的世界,与图纸中所体现的逻辑格格不入。A. opposite对立面;B. mirror镜子;C. explanation解释;D. proof证明。根据前文“a messy world”将绘画工作室描述为混乱的世界,以及下文“the logic found in blueprints”提到工程蓝图的核心是严谨逻辑。由此可知,感性、自由的绘画与理性、精确的工程蓝图形成鲜明对比,二者是彼此的对立面。
5.考查动词。句意:第一项任务是描绘一幅日落时分的摩天大楼。A. paint绘画;B. construct建造;C. photograph拍照,摄影;D. model建模。根据上文“a painting studio”可知,故事发生在绘画工作室,这是绘画课的第一项作业,自然是要求学生画一幅日落时分的摩天大楼。
6.考查副词。句意:当其他人挥洒着充满活力的色彩时,利奥的画笔却毫无成效地挣扎着。A. distinctively独特地;B. fruitlessly徒劳地,毫无结果地;C. expressively富有表现力地;D. painlessly轻松地,毫无痛苦地。根据上文“While others splash dynamic colors”以及“Leo’s brush struggled”可知,当其他人挥洒着充满活力的色彩时,利奥的画笔却毫无成效地挣扎着。
7.考查动词。句意:“我感觉自己就像一个被迫用云朵而非钢铁来建造的建筑师,”他说道。A. empowered授权;B. prepared使准备;C. forced迫使;D. convinced使确信。根据语境以及下文“to build with clouds instead of steel”可知,利奥是被迫选的绘画课,他用 “用云朵而非钢铁建造建筑”这个比喻,生动表达了自己在完全不熟悉的领域里的被动和无力感。
8.考查名词。句意:加布尔女士,一位经验丰富的艺术家,看到他的困境后,将画布重新构想成了一个建筑工地。A. struggle挣扎;B. shift转变;C. urge冲动;D. creativity创造力。根据前文“Leo’s brush struggled”一直在描写利奥在绘画上的艰难处境,可知,经验丰富的加布尔老师正是看到了他的挣扎,才主动出手相助,为他提供了适合的学习方法。
9.考查名词。句意:通过将摩天大楼视为一系列倾斜的网格,并将玻璃视作遵循反射定律的镜子,她为利奥提供了一份可以遵循的蓝图。A. schedule时间表;B. decision决定;C. masterpiece杰作;D. blueprint蓝图。根据上文“a messy world that felt like the ______ of the logic found in blueprints”可知,老师没有用常规的绘画术语,而是用利奥熟悉的工程概念来讲解绘画,相当于给了他一张可以遵循的工程蓝图。
10.考查动词。句意:“我终于意识到这幅画是一种结构投影。”利奥回忆道。A. complains抱怨,投诉;B. recalls回忆;C. sighs叹气;D. jokes开玩笑。根据语境以及上文“I finally recognized the painting was a structural projection”可知,这句话是利奥在事后回忆自己当时恍然大悟的瞬间,整个故事都是以回忆的口吻讲述的。
11.考查动词。句意:他明白,哪怕是一笔笔误都会使他的塔楼倾斜,就像在真正的建筑中出现的错误计算一样。A. lean倾斜,倚靠;B. stand站立;C. rise升起;D. dominate支配。 根据后文“just like a faulty calculation in a real building”明确给出类比:就像真实建筑里的错误计算,由此可知,建筑工程中计算失误会导致大楼倾斜,利奥将这种逻辑迁移到绘画中,认为一笔画错也会让画中的摩天大楼倾斜。
12.考查动词短语。句意:随着摩天大楼逐渐成型,利奥的眼睛亮了起来。A. took root扎根;B. took control控制;C. took shape逐渐成形;D. took flight起飞。根据语境以及下文“Leo’s eyes brightened”可知,随着利奥用工程思维一步步绘制,画中的摩天大楼逐渐完整、清晰。
13.考查副词。句意:“诚然,起初我还有些怀疑,”他说道,“但后来我发现建筑师的精准与画家的构想实则是同一事物的两面。”A. Theoretically理论上;B. Admittedly诚然;C. Fortunately幸运地;D. Surprisingly令人惊讶地。根据句意以及下文“I was skeptical at first”可知,利奥在这里坦诚自己最初的真实想法 —— 对这种用工程思维画画的方法持怀疑态度。“Admittedly” 用于引出说话者承认的事实,语气诚恳,符合语境。
14.考查名词。句意:“诚然,起初我还有些怀疑,”他说道,“但后来我发现建筑师的精准与画家的构想实则是同一事物的两面。”A. student学生;B. skyscraper摩天大楼;C. map地图;D. painter画家。根据句意以及上文“but I found that the precision of an architect…”可知,前文提到建筑师的精准,与之相对应的自然是画家的想象力,这正是文章要表达的核心观点:艺术与工程并非对立,而是互补的。
15.考查名词。句意:他将那次令人沮丧的挫折转变成了对艺术的新认识。A. art艺术;B. engineering工程; C. teachers老师;D. architects建筑师。根据上文“Leo walked toward the art building with a heavy heart.”提到利奥心情沉重地走向艺术大楼。由此可知,利奥本来被迫上绘画课,最后把不顺的挫折转变成了对艺术的欣赏。

Last summer, I had the opportunity to volunteer at a wildlife rescue center in South Africa. It was an experience that 1 my life in ways I never expected. When I first arrived, I was 2 by the number of injured animals — from lions with damaged teeth to birds with broken wings. The center’s staff worked 3 to care for these creatures, often getting up before dawn and continuing late into the night. My main 4 was to prepare food for the animals and clean their enclosures. At first, I found the work 5 and wanted to give up. But as I got to know the animals, I began to feel a 6 connection with them. There was a lioness named Luna who had been rescued from a circus. She was 7 of humans at first, but after weeks of patient care, she slowly began to 8 us. One morning, as I was cleaning her enclosure, she walked over and gently 9 her head against the fence near me. It was a small gesture, but it filled me with 10 . By the end of the summer, I had learned more than I could have imagined — not just about animals, but about 11 , perseverance, and the importance of 12 those who cannot speak for themselves. Volunteering taught me that true 13 comes not from what we get, but from what we 14 . I returned home with a renewed sense of 15 and a determination to continue working for wildlife protection.

Passage 4
Molly didn’t want to go that way. The bushes were thick, the slope steep, and a waterfall 1 loudly nearby. But her owner gently coaxed (哄劝,劝诱) her to keep going in the New Zealand rainforest. 2 , with a cracking of branches, the hand was gone.
Ms. Johnston slipped off a cliff and fell about 180 feet into the waterfall. She floated downstream, 3 out of the water and then pressed the button on her locator. Hurt but alive, she was airlifted to 4 , but Molly was nowhere to be seen. “If it were anywhere else, people would have just gone out 5 ,” Ms. Newton, 28, said. “But because of where she was, it was going to be a multiday hike into some of the most 6 terrain in the world.”
But a search flight costs about $1,370. The small family business could not keep 7 the costs. She then turned to Facebook to ask for help. 8 joined: a thermal expert and a man with his dog Bingo, 9 that a frightened dog might respond more readily to another dog than to a human.
Rain kept them 10 for several days. Finally, Newton took off in an Airbus H120 while Ms. Newton coordinated from the base. The cool morning was 11 for thermal scanning, giving a sharper setting for spotting a 12 body. When a shape appeared on the screen, we were all crying. Back at the base, Ms. Johnston, who arrived later, got out of her car and had to sit down because of the 13 of emotions. “I just couldn’t believe it,” she said. A vet later found that Molly was 14 and healthy.
It was 160 kind strangers who worked together to 15 Molly, a black-and-white collie, back to Jessica Johnston. “It was beautiful to see,” Ms. Newton added. “It all paid off.”
