Lena, a 62-year-old woman living in a quiet Canadian town, found an old guitar in the attic (阁楼) last week. She was sorting old photos and childhood toys when her hand touched the cool wood, and the familiar shape brought a big smile. The guitar’s wooden body was grey, and its strings (弦) were broken, but it brought back a flood of warm old stories.
When Lena was 7, her father often taught her to play the guitar by their lakeside house. One summer evening, he asked her to play Happy Birthday for her little brother Max. Max laughed and cheered even when she messed up notes. “Music makes every moment special,” Dad would say, smiling as Lena struggled with the music notes. Neighbors passed by to listen and sang along, while her dog Buddy moved his tail happily and touched her hand softly. That year, her father gave her the guitar as a New Year gift, telling her to record moments with the family by using music. Lena spent hours practicing every day under the big tree in the park near her home, her dog Buddy lying at her feet.
Now, so many years later, Lena softly cleaned the guitar. She replaced the strings and tried to play the old song — her fingers hurt a little, but the song felt like a hug from the past. Though her fingers were not as quick as before and her voice was a bit shaky, the same happiness filled her heart. Looking in the mirror, she saw grey hair, but her eyes shone just like they did by the lake.
“Some things never change,” Lena said softly, touching the guitar’s old neck. She missed her father, but the guitar made her feel close. The guitar looks old, but in her mind, she was still that 7-year-old girl, laughing under the sunset with her family. Age may make us look older, but the music in our hearts remains as young as ever.
24. What made Lena think of the old stories?
A. Her dog Buddy. B. The discovered guitar.
C. The lakeside house. D. The old photos.
25. Why did Lena’s father teach her to play the guitar?
A. To gift her on New Year. B. To value family time.
C. To spread music to neighbors. D. To celebrate Max’s birthday.
26. How did Lena feel when playing the old song years later?
A. Sad. B. Proud. C. Regretful. D. Joyful.
27. What does the text want to tell us?
A. Old things need care. B. Practice makes perfect.
C. Music keeps us young at heart. D. Music comes from daily life.
C
No one is sure exactly when or how the invasion (入侵) began. However, in 2014, when Asian common toads (蟾蜍) were officially spotted in Madagascar’s largest seaport, scientists immediately sounded the alarm. These invasive toads produce a poisonous chemical, stored in specialized glands (腺体) behind their eyes, which could spell death for any native species attempting to hunt them — a major threat to Madagascar’s biodiversity. Cane toads, which can remain poisonous long after they’re dead, created a similar problem when introduced to Australia in the 1930s.
The poisonous parts, known as parotoid glands, do not just allow toads to wreak havoc as invasive species. They probably also helped toads spread across large parts of the planet millions of years ago, according to research published in mid-October 2025.
Evidence suggests toads got their start in South America but it is unclear exactly when and how they spread to other continents. To find out, the scientists of the research analyzed DNA from 124 species across six continents. Their rebuilt evolutionary history confirmed that toads originated in South America approximately 61 million years ago; however, it also uncovered something unexpected: Instead of entering Asia from North America via the land bridge, early toads appear to have crossed directly from South America to Africa.
The team also discovered a rapid rise in the number of new species shortly after toads began to spread out of South America, which happened during a historic transition known as the Eocene-Oligocene extinction event, about 33.5 million years ago. During that same period, toads evolved their parotoid glands.
Some of this evolutionary history appears to be repeating itself with modern invasive species. Although toads have spread around the world, there were a few barriers that were too much for them. Toads never made it on their own to Australia, for example, or crossed the Mozambique Channel from Africa to Madagascar and the nearby Mascarene Islands. Now, with a little help from humans, they have crossed these final frontiers.
28. What do the underlined words “Wreak havoc” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Spread across remote regions. B. Cause significant damage.
C. Contribute to local biodiversity. D. Engage in dangerous hunting.
29. What happened to toads during the period of the extinction event?
A. They lost their parotoid glands. B. Their species diversified quickly.
C. Their population dropped sharply. D. They began entering South America.
30. What can we learn from the text?
A. Human activities are threatening toads. B. Toads made it on their own to Australia.
C. The birthplace of toads remains a mystery. D. Humans play a role in the spread of toads.
31. From which is the text most probably taken?
A. A science magazine. B. A geography textbook.
C. A government environmental report. D. A blog post on wildlife protection.
D
In 1998, researchers Larry Page and Sergey Brin published a paper titled The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine. In the paper, they anticipated the rise of algorithms. Later that same year, the two developed the search algorithm, PageRank, which revolutionized the early web by prioritizing pages according to the number and types of links on each page.
Today, PageRank is still around, but it has fallen victim to algorithms. The broader web landscape has abandoned its original promise: to enable us to be the best and most genuine version of ourselves. Instead, we’re trapped in a system that emphasizes sameness and discourages individuality, all at the hands of algorithms that have gone wild.
Algorithms make it impossible to go online without encountering content that claims it’s been “selected for you”. But they don’t recognize how complex and ever-changing human tastes can be. Because of their overly simplistic calculations, we are rarely shown anything new, different, or exciting. For example, Spotify listeners end up hearing the same songs and artists over and over.
The combination of the universality of algorithms and the addictiveness of the platforms threatens to flatten our individual tastes. The algorithms push us all toward the same ideas while making it harder for free thinkers and subcultures to rise up. But innovation requires those who are willing and able to go against algorithmic trend cycles. Societal innovation and advancement at large will stagnate in such environments.
We already see this happening. It’s why every single new movie is either a reboot, remake, requel, prequel, or sequel. And it’s why the clothes younger generations consider trendy look similar to what we wore in our childhood.
Undoubtedly, algorithms are here to stay. But if we hope to avoid innovation stagnation, taste must be returned to its rightful owners. We all have a hand in making that happen.
32. How did Larry Page and Sergey Brin affect the web in 1998?
A. They boosted its development. B. They broke its original promise.
C. They prevented it from going wild. D. They shifted its focus to individuality.
33. What can be known about the algorithm-controlled content we get according to paragraph 3?
A. It can always amaze and excite us. B. It is based on complex calculations.
C. It features repetition and predictability. D. It matches our ever-changing tastes.
34. Why are the examples mentioned in paragraph 5?
A. To highlight the universality of algorithms.
B. To analyze the reason for algorithmic stagnation.
C. To explain the concept of algorithmic trend cycles.
D. To show how algorithms negatively impact innovation.
35. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To remind us to make full use of algorithms.
B. To encourage innovation in algorithmic design.
C. To urge us to try to get out of the algorithmic trap.
D. To demonstrate the incredible power of algorithms.

With travel on the rise, more families are planning to take their home life on the road, whether it’s for a weekend or a longer trip. Traveling with kids can be stressful — with all those suitcases and cries of “Are we there yet?” ____36____
Involving young children in planning a trip might sound silly, but it’s far more valuable than it seems: “You shouldn’t expect a 4-year-old to spend eight hours in museums,” says Waldon, a family travel expert. “It’s really smart for parents to think like their kid and realize,‘ ____37____’” That attitude helps parents avoid terrible situations that may ruin the day.
____38____ If a little one is into dinosaurs, perhaps you’ll want to check out a city’s Natural History Museum. If they love animals, maybe there’s a way to include a visit to a farm or an aquarium (水族馆).
One of Waldon’s favourite ways to get younger kids excited about a trip is reading. “Books are perfect for little armchair travellers,” she says. “____39____” Before a recent trip to Puerto Rico, Waldon read her kids a book about a frog native to the island. Afterwards, her daughters got really excited to hear this little frog singing at night.
People often think the trip is going to be one Instagram worthy moment after another, but that never happens. ____40____ When kids are involved, they can become invested in getting through those problems. They also learn to work things out together as a family.
A. Most children really enjoy challenges.
B. Actually, no family trip goes without problems.
C. However, it can also be a highly rewarding activity.
D. That way, we’re getting more of that local experience.
E. This is a 30-minute max type opportunity for my child.
F. They get the kids curious about the trip before leaving home.
G. Parents can also play into their kids’ interests when planning a trip.

One of Smith’s races came in November 2016, when he ____48____ the challenge of a 100-mile race in southwest China, near the very region where his father, Mickey, fought Japanese soldiers while ____49____ in the U.S. Army Air Corps (空军) during World War Ⅱ. Once, after Smith finished an ultramarathon in California, a stranger ____50____ him a note that said: “Watching you struggle up that hill gave me the ____51____ to fight my own illness.

After he finished Badwater Ultramarathon, one of the world’s hardest footraces, Smith told his trainer Michael Johnson that it would be his ____53____ ultramarathon.

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。
Mr. Hopkins’ bookstore was a quiet island in the noisy stream of the modern city. For decades, it had been a shelter for book lovers. The wooden sign above the door, weathered but proud, read “Hopkins’ Books” in brick red. It had been a constant place where time moved slower with the first turn of a page. Now, it was closing.
The news felt like a physical blow to David, a quiet college student who had grown up reading in the cozy corners of the shop. The smell of old paper was the smell of his childhood, witnessing his growth. He couldn’t imagine the street without its warm, inviting light. When the news spread throughout the entire neighborhood, worry was written all over everyone’s faces.
The reason for the closure was a woman named Sarah Chen. Representing a large development company, she had made a generous offer to buy the building. She saw the space not for its shelves of stories, but for its potential as a trendy café, a profitable upgrade. To her, it was just business.
Mr. Hopkins, now old and tired, felt defeated. “Maybe it’s time, David,” he sighed, his hand resting on a dusty copy of his favorite novel. “The world has moved on.”
On the day of the final meeting, David arrived early, his backpack filled with items he had collected over the years from the store: a bookmark from his tenth birthday, a receipt from the first book he had bought with his own money, a photograph of himself and Mr. Hopkins taken during a summer reading program. He walked to the children’s section and drew a small, worn copy of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The cover was faded, the pages yellowed, but the spine still held strong.
Sarah arrived precisely at 2:00 p.m. She wasted no time getting down to business, reviewing the contract with Mr. Hopkins. David watched from the sidelines, his heart pounding in his chest.
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。
Paragraph 1: He couldn’t let this happen — not without trying to make his voice heard.

Paragraph 2: A decision was made to combine a bookstore and a café in one project, and the construction

Lena, a 62-year-old woman living in a quiet Canadian town, found an old guitar in the attic (阁楼) last week. She was sorting old photos and childhood toys when her hand touched the cool wood, and the familiar shape brought a big smile. The guitar’s wooden body was grey, and its strings (弦) were broken, but it brought back a flood of warm old stories.
When Lena was 7, her father often taught her to play the guitar by their lakeside house. One summer evening, he asked her to play Happy Birthday for her little brother Max. Max laughed and cheered even when she messed up notes. “Music makes every moment special,” Dad would say, smiling as Lena struggled with the music notes. Neighbors passed by to listen and sang along, while her dog Buddy moved his tail happily and touched her hand softly. That year, her father gave her the guitar as a New Year gift, telling her to record moments with the family by using music. Lena spent hours practicing every day under the big tree in the park near her home, her dog Buddy lying at her feet.
Now, so many years later, Lena softly cleaned the guitar. She replaced the strings and tried to play the old song — her fingers hurt a little, but the song felt like a hug from the past. Though her fingers were not as quick as before and her voice was a bit shaky, the same happiness filled her heart. Looking in the mirror, she saw grey hair, but her eyes shone just like they did by the lake.
“Some things never change,” Lena said softly, touching the guitar’s old neck. She missed her father, but the guitar made her feel close. The guitar looks old, but in her mind, she was still that 7-year-old girl, laughing under the sunset with her family. Age may make us look older, but the music in our hearts remains as young as ever.
24. What made Lena think of the old stories?
A. Her dog Buddy. B. The discovered guitar.
C. The lakeside house. D. The old photos.
25. Why did Lena’s father teach her to play the guitar?
A. To gift her on New Year. B. To value family time.
C. To spread music to neighbors. D. To celebrate Max’s birthday.
26. How did Lena feel when playing the old song years later?
A. Sad. B. Proud. C. Regretful. D. Joyful.
27. What does the text want to tell us?
A. Old things need care. B. Practice makes perfect.
C. Music keeps us young at heart. D. Music comes from daily life.

C
No one is sure exactly when or how the invasion (入侵) began. However, in 2014, when Asian common toads (蟾蜍) were officially spotted in Madagascar’s largest seaport, scientists immediately sounded the alarm. These invasive toads produce a poisonous chemical, stored in specialized glands (腺体) behind their eyes, which could spell death for any native species attempting to hunt them — a major threat to Madagascar’s biodiversity. Cane toads, which can remain poisonous long after they’re dead, created a similar problem when introduced to Australia in the 1930s.
The poisonous parts, known as parotoid glands, do not just allow toads to wreak havoc as invasive species. They probably also helped toads spread across large parts of the planet millions of years ago, according to research published in mid-October 2025.
Evidence suggests toads got their start in South America but it is unclear exactly when and how they spread to other continents. To find out, the scientists of the research analyzed DNA from 124 species across six continents. Their rebuilt evolutionary history confirmed that toads originated in South America approximately 61 million years ago; however, it also uncovered something unexpected: Instead of entering Asia from North America via the land bridge, early toads appear to have crossed directly from South America to Africa.
The team also discovered a rapid rise in the number of new species shortly after toads began to spread out of South America, which happened during a historic transition known as the Eocene-Oligocene extinction event, about 33.5 million years ago. During that same period, toads evolved their parotoid glands.
Some of this evolutionary history appears to be repeating itself with modern invasive species. Although toads have spread around the world, there were a few barriers that were too much for them. Toads never made it on their own to Australia, for example, or crossed the Mozambique Channel from Africa to Madagascar and the nearby Mascarene Islands. Now, with a little help from humans, they have crossed these final frontiers.
28. What do the underlined words “Wreak havoc” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Spread across remote regions. B. Cause significant damage.
C. Contribute to local biodiversity. D. Engage in dangerous hunting.
29. What happened to toads during the period of the extinction event?
A. They lost their parotoid glands. B. Their species diversified quickly.
C. Their population dropped sharply. D. They began entering South America.
30. What can we learn from the text?
A. Human activities are threatening toads. B. Toads made it on their own to Australia.
C. The birthplace of toads remains a mystery. D. Humans play a role in the spread of toads.
31. From which is the text most probably taken?
A. A science magazine. B. A geography textbook.
C. A government environmental report. D. A blog post on wildlife protection.
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】

【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“These invasive toads produce a poisonous chemical, stored in specialized glands (腺体) behind their eyes, which could spell death for any native species attempting to hunt them — a major threat to Madagascar’s biodiversity. (这些入侵蟾蜍会产生一种有毒化学物质,储存在眼后的特殊腺体中,任何试图捕食它们的本土物种都会因此丧命,这对马达加斯加的生物多样性构成重大威胁。)”可知,入侵蟾蜍的毒腺会对当地生态造成严重破坏,因此第二段中“wreak havoc”的意思是造成重大损害。故选B项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The team also discovered a rapid rise in the number of new species shortly after toads began to spread out of South America, which happened during a historic transition known as the Eocene-Oligocene extinction event, about 33.5 million years ago. During that same period, toads evolved their parotoid glands.(该研究团队还发现,在蟾蜍开始从南美洲扩散出去后不久,新物种的数量便迅速增加,这一事件发生在约3350万年前的始新世-渐新世灭绝事件这一历史性过渡时期。同一时期,蟾蜍进化出了腮腺。)”可知,在灭绝事件期间,蟾蜍的物种迅速多样化。故选B项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Toads never made it on their own to Australia, for example, or crossed the Mozambique Channel from Africa to Madagascar and the nearby Mascarene Islands. Now, with a little help from humans, they have crossed these final frontiers.(例如,蟾蜍自身从未成功抵达澳大利亚,也从未从非洲穿越莫桑比克海峡到达马达加斯加和附近的马斯克林群岛。如今,在人类的些许帮助下,它们跨越了这些最后的屏障。)”可知,人类在蟾蜍的扩散过程中起到了推动作用。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容,文章介绍了蟾蜍入侵的生态威胁,还详细阐述了科学家对蟾蜍起源、扩散路径和毒腺演化的研究发现,包含专业的科研数据、演化分析等内容,这类内容最有可能出自科学杂志。故选A项。
D
In 1998, researchers Larry Page and Sergey Brin published a paper titled The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine. In the paper, they anticipated the rise of algorithms. Later that same year, the two developed the search algorithm, PageRank, which revolutionized the early web by prioritizing pages according to the number and types of links on each page.
Today, PageRank is still around, but it has fallen victim to algorithms. The broader web landscape has abandoned its original promise: to enable us to be the best and most genuine version of ourselves. Instead, we’re trapped in a system that emphasizes sameness and discourages individuality, all at the hands of algorithms that have gone wild.
Algorithms make it impossible to go online without encountering content that claims it’s been “selected for you”. But they don’t recognize how complex and ever-changing human tastes can be. Because of their overly simplistic calculations, we are rarely shown anything new, different, or exciting. For example, Spotify listeners end up hearing the same songs and artists over and over.
The combination of the universality of algorithms and the addictiveness of the platforms threatens to flatten our individual tastes. The algorithms push us all toward the same ideas while making it harder for free thinkers and subcultures to rise up. But innovation requires those who are willing and able to go against algorithmic trend cycles. Societal innovation and advancement at large will stagnate in such environments.
We already see this happening. It’s why every single new movie is either a reboot, remake, requel, prequel, or sequel. And it’s why the clothes younger generations consider trendy look similar to what we wore in our childhood.
Undoubtedly, algorithms are here to stay. But if we hope to avoid innovation stagnation, taste must be returned to its rightful owners. We all have a hand in making that happen.
32. How did Larry Page and Sergey Brin affect the web in 1998?
A. They boosted its development. B. They broke its original promise.
C. They prevented it from going wild. D. They shifted its focus to individuality.
33. What can be known about the algorithm-controlled content we get according to paragraph 3?
A. It can always amaze and excite us. B. It is based on complex calculations.
C. It features repetition and predictability. D. It matches our ever-changing tastes.
34. Why are the examples mentioned in paragraph 5?
A. To highlight the universality of algorithms.
B. To analyze the reason for algorithmic stagnation.
C. To explain the concept of algorithmic trend cycles.
D. To show how algorithms negatively impact innovation.
35. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To remind us to make full use of algorithms.
B. To encourage innovation in algorithmic design.
C. To urge us to try to get out of the algorithmic trap.
D. To demonstrate the incredible power of algorithms.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍PageRank算法的诞生背景,论述如今泛滥的算法会制造信息茧房、压抑个性、阻碍社会创新,呼吁人们摆脱算法的束缚,将审美与选择权还给人类自身。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第一段“Later that same year, the two developed the search algorithm, PageRank, which revolutionized the early web by prioritizing pages according to the number and types of links on each page.(同年晚些时候,二人研发出搜索算法 PageRank,该算法依据每个网页的链接数量与类型对网页进行优先级排序,彻底革新了早期互联网)”可知,他们研发的算法革新了早期网络,推动了互联网发展。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第三段“Because of their overly simplistic calculations, we are rarely shown anything new, different, or exciting. For example, Spotify listeners end up hearing the same songs and artists over and over.(由于算法的计算方式过于简单化,我们很少能看到新颖、独特或令人振奋的内容。举个例子,Spotify的听众最后只会反复收听相同的歌曲和歌手)”可知,算法推送的内容存在大量重复,内容走向可预判。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第四段“But innovation requires those who are willing and able to go against algorithmic trend cycles. Societal innovation and advancement at large will stagnate in such environments.(但创新需要愿意且能够打破算法潮流循环的人。在这样的环境中,整个社会的创新与发展都会陷入停滞)”以及第五段举例内容“It’s why every single new movie is either a reboot, remake, requel, prequel, or sequel. And it’s why the clothes younger generations consider trendy look similar to what we wore in our childhood.(这就是为什么如今每一部新电影,不是重启版、翻拍版、重启续集、前传,就是续集;这也是年轻一代眼中的潮流服饰,看起来和我们小时候穿的衣服高度相似的原因)”可知,作者列举影视、服饰潮流趋同的例子,是为证明算法对创新造成负面影响。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“Undoubtedly, algorithms are here to stay. But if we hope to avoid innovation stagnation, taste must be returned to its rightful owners. We all have a hand in making that happen.(毫无疑问,算法会一直存在。但如果我们希望避免创新停滞,审美选择权就必须交还它真正的主人,我们每个人都能为此出力)”可知,作者的写作目的是呼吁人们挣脱算法构建的陷阱。

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。
With travel on the rise, more families are planning to take their home life on the road, whether it’s for a weekend or a longer trip. Traveling with kids can be stressful — with all those suitcases and cries of “Are we there yet?” ____36____
Involving young children in planning a trip might sound silly, but it’s far more valuable than it seems: “You shouldn’t expect a 4-year-old to spend eight hours in museums,” says Waldon, a family travel expert. “It’s really smart for parents to think like their kid and realize,‘ ____37____’” That attitude helps parents avoid terrible situations that may ruin the day.
____38____ If a little one is into dinosaurs, perhaps you’ll want to check out a city’s Natural History Museum. If they love animals, maybe there’s a way to include a visit to a farm or an aquarium (水族馆).
One of Waldon’s favourite ways to get younger kids excited about a trip is reading. “Books are perfect for little armchair travellers,” she says. “____39____” Before a recent trip to Puerto Rico, Waldon read her kids a book about a frog native to the island. Afterwards, her daughters got really excited to hear this little frog singing at night.
People often think the trip is going to be one Instagram worthy moment after another, but that never happens. ____40____ When kids are involved, they can become invested in getting through those problems. They also learn to work things out together as a family.
A. Most children really enjoy challenges.
B. Actually, no family trip goes without problems.
C. However, it can also be a highly rewarding activity.
D. That way, we’re getting more of that local experience.
E. This is a 30-minute max type opportunity for my child.
F. They get the kids curious about the trip before leaving home.
G. Parents can also play into their kids’ interests when planning a trip.
【答案】36. C 37. E 38. G 39. F 40. B

【36题详解】
上文“Traveling with kids can be stressful—with all those suitcases and cries of “Are we there yet?”(带着孩子旅行可能会很有压力——带着所有的行李箱和“我们到了吗?”)”说明带着孩子旅行可能会有压力,下文“Involving young children in planning a trip might sound silly, but it’s far more valuable than it seems.(让年幼的孩子参与计划旅行可能听起来很傻,但它比看起来要有价值得多。)”说明带孩子旅行是有价值的,因此空格处应该出现带转折的词,C选项“However, it can also be a highly rewarding activity.(然而,它也可以是一个非常有益的活动。)”中的However表转折,说明带孩子去旅行是值得的,承上启下,符合语境。故选C。
【37题详解】
下文“That attitude helps parents avoid terrible situations that may ruin the day.(这种态度可以帮助父母避免可能会毁了一天的糟糕情况。)”说明了空前所说的一种态度可以帮助父母避免毁掉一天,空格处应该是父母的一种态度,E选项“This is a 30-minute max type opportunity for my child.(这是一个最多30分钟时长的适合我孩子的机会)”是父母的一种态度,因此承接上文,符合语境。故选E。
【38题详解】
空格处是本段的主旨句,由下文“If a little one is into dinosaurs, perhaps you’ll want to check out a city’s Natural History Museum. If they love animals, maybe there’s a way to include a visit to a farm or an aquarium (水族馆).(如果孩子喜欢恐龙,也许你会想去城市的自然历史博物馆看看。如果他们喜欢动物,也许有一个方法包括参观农场或水族馆)”可知,本段主要讲的是在计划带孩子去旅行时,应该要考虑孩子的喜好,G选项“Parents can also play into their kids’ interests when planning a trip.(在计划旅行时,父母也可以考虑孩子的兴趣)”说明了父母在计划旅行时应该考虑孩子的兴趣,概括了本段主要内容,可作为主旨句。故选G。
【39题详解】
上文“One of Waldon’s favourite ways to get younger kids excited about a trip is reading. “Books are perfect for little armchair travellers,” she says.(Waldon最喜欢的让孩子们对旅行感到兴奋的方法之一就是阅读。她说:“书籍是小旅行者的完美选择。”)”说明了书籍会让孩子感到兴奋,下文“Before a recent trip to Puerto Rico, Waldon read her kids a book about a frog native to the island. Afterwards, her daughters got really excited to hear this little frog singing at night.(在最近一次去波多黎各旅行之前,Waldon给她的孩子们读了一本关于岛上本地青蛙的书。后来,她的女儿们听到这只小青蛙在晚上唱歌真的很兴奋)”说明Waldon通过书让孩子对旅行感到兴奋,空格处也应该和让孩子兴奋有关,F选项“They get the kids curious about the trip before leaving home.(它们在离开家之前让孩子们对这次旅行感到好奇)”说明了阅读书籍在离开家去旅行前让孩子们对旅行感到好奇,因此F选项承上启下,符合语境。故选F。
【40题详解】
上文“People often think the trip is going to be one Instagram worthy moment after another, but that never happens.(人们通常认为这次旅行会成为一个又一个值得分享的时刻,但这从来没有发生过)”说明旅行成为一个又一个值得分享的时刻这种事情从来没有发生过,下文“When kids are involved, they can become invested in getting through those problems.(当孩子们参与进来时,他们可以投入到解决这些问题中去)”说明旅行中会遇到一些问题,由此可知旅行可能会不顺利,B选项“Actually, no family trip goes without problems.(事实上,没有家庭旅行是一帆风顺的)”说明事实上旅行可能会不顺利,承上启下,符合语境。故选B。

【56题详解】
考查名词单复数。句意:在雅温得米姆博曼社区的一家武术俱乐部里,清晰的脚步声和响亮的呼喊声充斥着整个房间,数十名学员模仿着教练马丁·曼甘瓦乔流畅有力的动作。scores of为固定短语,意为“许多、大量”,后接可数名词复数students,符合语境,故填scores。
【57题详解】
考查介词。句意:在灿烂的阳光下,这位29岁的男子步伐坚定、轻松自如,尽管他因先天性疾病而不得不依靠拐杖行走。空格后为动名词短语,结合句意“尽管因先天性疾病依赖拐杖”,despite表“尽管”,后接名词/动名词,故填despite。

【62题详解】
考查动词时态。句意同上。此处描述过去发生的动作,从句用一般过去时,主句谓语动词也用过去式,故填impressed。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:“我在武术中发现了一种力量,一种我能够运用的强大的身体力量,这种力量能让我在任何危险的情况下保护自己。”他说。结合句子语意可知,力量的用途是在危险情境中保护自己,此处用不定式作目的状语,故填to defend。
【64题详解】
考查名词性从句。句意:同时,我也有了一种满足感,因为我知道即便我们可能生来就存在某些身体上的限制,但本质上我们还是相同的。空后内容解释说明前文“understanding”,为同位语从句,从句句意和成分完整,故用that引导。故填that。
【65题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:“我的愿望是看到许多非洲人和喀麦隆人,包括像我这样身有残疾的人,能够对中国的文化以及中国的武术产生兴趣。在那里,我找到了一种精神力量源泉,它帮助我克服了生活中的任何困境或困难。”他说。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为Chinese martial arts,从句中缺“在武术中”这一地点状语,故用关系副词where引导定语从句。故填where。

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。
Mr. Hopkins’ bookstore was a quiet island in the noisy stream of the modern city. For decades, it had been a shelter for book lovers. The wooden sign above the door, weathered but proud, read “Hopkins’ Books” in brick red. It had been a constant place where time moved slower with the first turn of a page. Now, it was closing.
The news felt like a physical blow to David, a quiet college student who had grown up reading in the cozy corners of the shop. The smell of old paper was the smell of his childhood, witnessing his growth. He couldn’t imagine the street without its warm, inviting light. When the news spread throughout the entire neighborhood, worry was written all over everyone’s faces.
The reason for the closure was a woman named Sarah Chen. Representing a large development company, she had made a generous offer to buy the building. She saw the space not for its shelves of stories, but for its potential as a trendy café, a profitable upgrade. To her, it was just business.
Mr. Hopkins, now old and tired, felt defeated. “Maybe it’s time, David,” he sighed, his hand resting on a dusty copy of his favorite novel. “The world has moved on.”
On the day of the final meeting, David arrived early, his backpack filled with items he had collected over the years from the store: a bookmark from his tenth birthday, a receipt from the first book he had bought with his own money, a photograph of himself and Mr. Hopkins taken during a summer reading program. He walked to the children’s section and drew a small, worn copy of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The cover was faded, the pages yellowed, but the spine still held strong.
Sarah arrived precisely at 2:00 p.m. She wasted no time getting down to business, reviewing the contract with Mr. Hopkins. David watched from the sidelines, his heart pounding in his chest.
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。
Paragraph 1: He couldn’t let this happen — not without trying to make his voice heard.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: A decision was made to combine a bookstore and a café in one project, and the construction
began. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
He couldn’t let this happen — not without trying to make his voice heard. As Sarah flipped through the contract, David gripped The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, stepping forward with courage. “Ms. Chen, may I show you something?” He laid out a bookmark, and faded photos — tangible threads of the neighborhood’s memories. “This store isn’t just wood and shelves: here I learned to dream, Mrs. Henderson reads to kids weekly, and Mr. Hopkins found my first poetry book.” His eyes glistened as children glanced from the corner, clutching books. “It’s a living legacy, not just profit.” Sarah’s pen froze, her gaze softening and hesitation flickering across her face.
A decision was made to combine a bookstore and a café in one project, and the construction began. Workers handled the store with utmost care crafting a cozy café bar bathed in warm light. David volunteered diligently, sorting books and hanging lights that cast gentle glows on pages. When the doors reopened, joy filled the air: kids stretched on cushions reading, and elders chatted over the bar. Mr. Hopkins smiled by the door as the store breathed new life — no longer just a book lovers’ shelter, but a vibrant harbour where memories endured and new stories unfolded.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Hopkins先生的书店多年来一直是书迷们的避风港,如今却面临关闭,原因是Sarah Chen要收购这座建筑用于商业行为,心灰意冷的Hopkins先生也决定放手,但这对其中一名顾客David来说犹如晴天霹雳,书店承载着他童年的记忆,见证了他成长的历程,在最终会议的那天,David背着多年来从书店里收集来的物品早早到达,看着Sarah与Hopkins先生一起审查合同,他的心在胸膛里剧烈地跳动着。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“如果他没有努力让自己的声音被听到,他绝不能让这种情况发生”可知,第一段可描写David向Sarah展示自己带的东西,讲述书店的意义,Sarah态度变得缓和。
②由第二段首句内容“最终决定将书店和咖啡馆合二为一,开始进行建设。”可知,第二段可描写书店和咖啡馆建成,焕发出新的生机。
2.续写线索:走向Sarah——讲述书店的意义——态度变得柔和——最终决定——书店和咖啡馆建成——焕发新的生机
3.词汇激活
行为类
①浏览,草草翻阅:flip through/flick through
②铺开,展开:lay out/spread out
③闪闪发光:glisten/shine
情绪类
①勇气:courage/bravery
