(A) Growing up in America as a child of first-generation Chinese immigrants, I was used to living in two worlds. But as I grew older, the Chinese side faded away, inch by inch. While I happily accepted the bills tucked in red envelopes that adults gave to children for Lunar New Year and consumed my weight in mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I didn’t feel connected to the culture. Before my children were born I had already decided that I would teach them Mandarin (普通话). I felt that they ought to be able to speak the language of their grandparents, the first language their mother encountered. Parenting books advised narrating your actions while with your baby, so I started digging out long-buried words: “ball”, “eat”, “sleep”, “play”. However, as this exercise continued, the gaps in my Mandarin became more and more obvious. One morning, when my daughter asked “What is the word for ‘arm’?” I panicked. Had I already reached the boundaries of my knowledge? Luckily, these days the ready availability of Chinese language media — from books to television shows to music — is a much-needed boon to parents like me: second-generation immigrants who want to pass the language on to their children. The first time I stepped into the local library in my Bay Area hometown, I was amazed to find a well-stocked Chinese section in the children’s wing. The tale of the Monkey King and the legend of Chang’e immediately caught my daughter’s imagination. When I see my son converse with his grandfather in Mandarin or when my daughter insists on fish for Lunar New Year, the time spent reading all those books closely feels well-spent. My youngest child recited Li Bai’s “Quiet Night Thoughts” for the Moon Festival performance at his preschool last fall. For generations of Chinese children, it’s the first piece of literature they memorize. It’s performed for all occasions, but most often for the Moon Festival. Its four lines describe how the glow of the full moon reminds the poet of his distant home. Decades ago, my Chinese teacher explained to me how the steadfast (坚定不移的) moon connects all those who seek its light, no matter how far apart they are. So, too, does language. It influences culture and history and memory, and connects future generations to past ones. Before my bed the bright moon’s glow Seems like frost on the ground Raising my head, I gaze at the moon Lowering my head, I think of home My son’s voice rang out with confidence and his arms swept up to indicate the moon above. Joy and wonder lit up my father’s face as he listened to the familiar verses from the mouth of his grandson: verses that had been spoken by my father and my grandparents when they were students in China, and by countless boys and girls before that. 36. We can learn from the first paragraph that the author ________. A. was brought up in an all-English environment B. once lost her sense of belonging to Chinese culture C. was deeply attracted by Chinese culture when she was a child D. preferred Lunar New Year and the Mid-Autumn Festival to any other festival 37. According to the article, how did the author teach her children Mandarin? ①By sending them to a Chinese school in the Bay Area. ②By bringing them to the local library to read Chinese books. ③By speaking the words of her actions in Mandarin while with them. ④By making use of Chinese language media, such as books, television shows and music. A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 38. According to the article, when she realized that her children were very interested in Chinese culture, the author ________. A. felt reconnected to Chinese culture B. was full of hope for the inheritance of Chinese culture C. thought of her own experience of learning Chinese as a child D. felt that all her efforts to teach them Mandarin had been worth it 39. What’s the main idea of this article? A. Language plays an important role in passing down family traditions. B. Language and culture are capable of connecting people throughout time and space. C. Learning Chinese poems is a great way to deepen your knowledge of the Chinese language. D. Knowing the Chinese language will provide you with a better understanding of Chinese culture. (B) Movie makers constantly seek new ways to draw people into theaters. Over the years, they’ve added sound and color, widescreen formats, and advanced computer-generated imagery to enhance the movie-going experience. Many special effects started as gimmicks (噱头) but have become essential components of big-budget films, while others had more temporary appeal. One peculiar gimmick was the effort to add odors (气味) to movies. Several serious attempts were made to enhance films with odors. In 1959, Behind the Great Wall used 50 odors through a theater’s air-conditioning system. In 1969, producer Mike Todd Jr. introduced Smell-O-Vision for Scent of a Mystery, releasing scents like pipe smoke and food to each seat. The film failed, and Smell-O-Vision disappeared from the industry. Another filmmaker, William Castle, employed various inexpensive gimmicks to attract audiences to his low-budget horror films. For Macabre (1963), he offered $1,000 life insurance policies in case viewers died of fright. In Thirteen Ghosts, he used “Illusion-O,” providing handheld ghost glasses that allowed viewers to see or remove the ghosts. Although these gimmicks were only marginally successful and often caused more laughter than screams, Castle’s movies were entertaining and profitable. Thirteen Ghosts was even remade in 2001. The 1975 movie Earthquake introduced Sensurround Sound, promising sound powerful enough to “crack ribs”. This effect was achieved using large subwoofer speakers that emitted powerful vibrations (震动). However, the vibrations disturbed audiences in neighbouring theaters, leading most theater owners to abandon Sensurround. Only three more films — Midway (1976), Rollercoaster (1977), and Battlestar Galactica (1978) featured the effect. The most famous special effect is 3-D. Studios experimented with three-dimensional photography as early as 1922, but the first hit 3-D movie was House of Wax in 1953. This effect requires special glasses to provide each eye with a slightly different image, creating a sense of depth. Although dozens of 3-D movies were released between 1953 and 1955, technical problems and eyestrain complaints caused the novelty to wear off. For the next 40 years, 3-D films became less common, primarily associated with IMAX releases. However, with improved technology, 3-D has made a comeback. In 2009, a 3-D film made nearly $2.8 billion worldwide, ensuring that more 3-D movies will follow. Even though some gimmicks failed, others were linked to box office successes. With advancing technology, new gimmicks will continue to emerge, potentially offering even more exciting experiences for moviegoers. 40. What can be learned about William Castle’s gimmicks? A. They scared viewers greatly. B. They didn’t cost much to make. C. They didn’t help to attract viewers. D. They are still seen in today’s movies. 41. What do Smell-O-Vision and Sensurround Sound have in common? A. Neither featured sensory effects. B. Neither was widely adopted in theaters. C. Both were created by the same filmmaker. D. Both involved visual enhancements to movies. 42. Which statement about 3-D movies is true according to the passage? A. 3-D technology was mainly used for horror films before 2009. B. 3-D movies were first introduced in the 1970s. C. 3-D movies were popular from the 1950s to the 1990s. D. The first hit 3-D movie was released in 1953. 43. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The history of movie technology B. The emergence and decline of 3-D movies. C. The evolution and impact of gimmicks in movies. D. The financial success of movies with special effects. Section C 8% Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. The Best Language for Math What’s the best language for learning math? Hint: You’re not reading it. Chinese, Japanese and Korean use simpler number words and express math concepts more clearly than English. The language gap is drawing growing attention as confusing English number words have been linked in several studies to weaker counting and arithmetic skill in children in English-speaking countries. ___44___ Among the researchers are Karen Fuson, a professor in the School of Education at Northwestern University, and Li Yeping, an expert on Chinese math education at Texas A&M University. Chinese has just nine number words, while English has more than two dozen. The trouble starts at “11”. English has a unique word for the number, while Chinese (as well as Japanese and Korean, among other languages) have words that can be translated as “ten-one” — spoken with the “ten” first. ___45___ English number words over 10 don’t as clearly label place values. Number words for the teens reverse the order of the ones and “teens”, making it easy for children to confuse, say, 17 with 71. As a result, children working with English-number words have a harder time doing multi-digit addition and subtraction (减法). ___46___ It also feels more natural for Chinese speakers than for English speakers to use the “make-a-ten” addition and subtraction strategy. When adding two numbers, students break down the numbers into parts and regroup them into tens and ones. For instance, 9 plus 5 becomes 9 plus 1 plus 4. ___47___ Many teachers in America have increased instruction in the make-a-ten method and called for first-graders to use it to add and subtract. Now, you should feel lucky that you are learning math in China. Thanks to your mother tongue, all math problems just come less confusing and difficult to you! A. So it’s not easy for English speakers to label place values clearly. B. The additional mental steps needed to solve problems cause more errors. C. Differences between Chinese and English, in particular, have been studied for decades. D. This method is a powerful tool for solving more advanced multi-digit addition and subtraction problems. E. Different languages indicate different ways of thinking, causing people to solve math problems differently. F. That makes it easier for children to understand the place value as well as making it clear that the number system is based on units of 10. IV.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Growing up in America as a child of first-generation Chinese immigrants, I was used to living in two worlds. But as I grew older, the Chinese side faded away, inch by inch. While I happily accepted the bills tucked in red envelopes that adults gave to children for Lunar New Year and consumed my weight in mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I didn’t feel connected to the culture. Before my children were born I had already decided that I would teach them Mandarin (普通话). I felt that they ought to be able to speak the language of their grandparents, the first language their mother encountered. Parenting books advised narrating your actions while with your baby, so I started digging out long-buried words: “ball”, “eat”, “sleep”, “play”. However, as this exercise continued, the gaps in my Mandarin became more and more obvious. One morning, when my daughter asked “What is the word for ‘arm’?” I panicked. Had I already reached the boundaries of my knowledge? Luckily, these days the ready availability of Chinese language media — from books to television shows to music — is a much-needed boon to parents like me: second-generation immigrants who want to pass the language on to their children. The first time I stepped into the local library in my Bay Area hometown, I was amazed to find a well-stocked Chinese section in the children’s wing. The tale of the Monkey King and the legend of Chang’e immediately caught my daughter’s imagination. When I see my son converse with his grandfather in Mandarin or when my daughter insists on fish for Lunar New Year, the time spent reading all those books closely feels well-spent. My youngest child recited Li Bai’s “Quiet Night Thoughts” for the Moon Festival performance at his preschool last fall. For generations of Chinese children, it’s the first piece of literature they memorize. It’s performed for all occasions, but most often for the Moon Festival. Its four lines describe how the glow of the full moon reminds the poet of his distant home. Decades ago, my Chinese teacher explained to me how the steadfast (坚定不移的) moon connects all those who seek its light, no matter how far apart they are. So, too, does language. It influences culture and history and memory, and connects future generations to past ones. Before my bed the bright moon’s glow Seems like frost on the ground Raising my head, I gaze at the moon Lowering my head, I think of home My son’s voice rang out with confidence and his arms swept up to indicate the moon above. Joy and wonder lit up my father’s face as he listened to the familiar verses from the mouth of his grandson: verses that had been spoken by my father and my grandparents when they were students in China, and by countless boys and girls before that. 36. We can learn from the first paragraph that the author ________. A. was brought up in an all-English environment B. once lost her sense of belonging to Chinese culture C. was deeply attracted by Chinese culture when she was a child D. preferred Lunar New Year and the Mid-Autumn Festival to any other festival 37. According to the article, how did the author teach her children Mandarin? ①By sending them to a Chinese school in the Bay Area. ②By bringing them to the local library to read Chinese books. ③By speaking the words of her actions in Mandarin while with them. ④By making use of Chinese language media, such as books, television shows and music. A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 38. According to the article, when she realized that her children were very interested in Chinese culture, the author ________. A. felt reconnected to Chinese culture B. was full of hope for the inheritance of Chinese culture C. thought of her own experience of learning Chinese as a child D. felt that all her efforts to teach them Mandarin had been worth it 39. What’s the main idea of this article? A. Language plays an important role in passing down family traditions. B. Language and culture are capable of connecting people throughout time and space. C. Learning Chinese poems is a great way to deepen your knowledge of the Chinese language. D. Knowing the Chinese language will provide you with a better understanding of Chinese culture. 【答案】36. B 37. D 38. D 39. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了身为华裔二代移民的作者从小在美国长大，逐渐疏远中华文化，后来决心教自己的孩子学习普通话，借助日常言传、中文媒体与图书馆中文读物传承语言与文化，并从孩子能用中文交流、背诵古诗中感受到语言跨越时空、联结世代与文化的力量。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第一段“But as I grew older, the Chinese side faded away, inch by inch. While I happily accepted the bills tucked in red envelopes that adults gave to children for Lunar New Year and consumed my weight in mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I didn’t feel connected to the culture.(但随着年龄增长，我身上的中国情结一点点褪去。虽然我开心收下春节长辈给的红包，中秋也吃很多月饼，却没有和这种文化产生归属感。)”可知，作者曾经失去了对中国文化的归属感。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第三段“Parenting books advised narrating your actions while with your baby, so I started digging out long-buried words: “ball”, “eat”, “sleep”, “play”.(育儿书籍建议陪孩子时把自己的行为用语言说出来，于是我开始翻出尘封已久的中文词汇：球、吃、睡觉、玩耍。)”、第四段“Luckily, these days the ready availability of Chinese language media — from books to television shows to music — is a much-needed boon to parents like me (幸运的是，如今随处可得的中文媒介 —— 书籍、电视节目、音乐等，对像我这样想把语言传给孩子的移民父母来说十分有益。)”以及第五段“The first time I stepped into the local library in my Bay Area hometown, I was amazed to find a well-stocked Chinese section in the children’s wing.(我第一次走进湾区家乡的当地图书馆，惊讶地发现儿童区有藏书丰富的中文专区。)”可知，作者通过日常行为用中文口述、利用各类中文媒介、带孩子去图书馆读中文书三种方式教孩子普通话，对应②③④。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第六段“When I see my son converse with his grandfather in Mandarin or when my daughter insists on fish for Lunar New Year, the time spent reading all those books closely feels well-spent.(当看到儿子用普通话和爷爷交流、女儿坚持过年要吃鱼时，我觉得花在陪孩子读中文书上的所有时间都十分值得。)”可知，当看到孩子对中国文化产生兴趣时，作者觉得自己教他们普通话的所有努力都是值得的。 【39题详解】 主旨大意题。根据原文第八段“Decades ago, my Chinese teacher explained to me how the steadfast moon connects all those who seek its light, no matter how far apart they are. So, too, does language. It influences culture and history and memory, and connects future generations to past ones.(几十年前，语文老师说明月能把所有仰望月光的人连在一起，无论相隔多远。语言亦是如此，它承载文化、历史与记忆，把后世与前人紧紧相连。)”并结合作者教自己的孩子学习普通话的经历，并从孩子能用中文交流、背诵古诗中感受到语言跨越时空、联结世代与文化的力量可知，文章主旨是语言与文化能够跨越时空、联结人们。 (B) Movie makers constantly seek new ways to draw people into theaters. Over the years, they’ve added sound and color, widescreen formats, and advanced computer-generated imagery to enhance the movie-going experience. Many special effects started as gimmicks (噱头) but have become essential components of big-budget films, while others had more temporary appeal. One peculiar gimmick was the effort to add odors (气味) to movies. Several serious attempts were made to enhance films with odors. In 1959, Behind the Great Wall used 50 odors through a theater’s air-conditioning system. In 1969, producer Mike Todd Jr. introduced Smell-O-Vision for Scent of a Mystery, releasing scents like pipe smoke and food to each seat. The film failed, and Smell-O-Vision disappeared from the industry. Another filmmaker, William Castle, employed various inexpensive gimmicks to attract audiences to his low-budget horror films. For Macabre (1963), he offered $1,000 life insurance policies in case viewers died of fright. In Thirteen Ghosts, he used “Illusion-O,” providing handheld ghost glasses that allowed viewers to see or remove the ghosts. Although these gimmicks were only marginally successful and often caused more laughter than screams, Castle’s movies were entertaining and profitable. Thirteen Ghosts was even remade in 2001. The 1975 movie Earthquake introduced Sensurround Sound, promising sound powerful enough to “crack ribs”. This effect was achieved using large subwoofer speakers that emitted powerful vibrations (震动). However, the vibrations disturbed audiences in neighbouring theaters, leading most theater owners to abandon Sensurround. Only three more films — Midway (1976), Rollercoaster (1977), and Battlestar Galactica (1978) featured the effect. The most famous special effect is 3-D. Studios experimented with three-dimensional photography as early as 1922, but the first hit 3-D movie was House of Wax in 1953. This effect requires special glasses to provide each eye with a slightly different image, creating a sense of depth. Although dozens of 3-D movies were released between 1953 and 1955, technical problems and eyestrain complaints caused the novelty to wear off. For the next 40 years, 3-D films became less common, primarily associated with IMAX releases. However, with improved technology, 3-D has made a comeback. In 2009, a 3-D film made nearly $2.8 billion worldwide, ensuring that more 3-D movies will follow. Even though some gimmicks failed, others were linked to box office successes. With advancing technology, new gimmicks will continue to emerge, potentially offering even more exciting experiences for moviegoers. 40. What can be learned about William Castle’s gimmicks? A. They scared viewers greatly. B. They didn’t cost much to make. C. They didn’t help to attract viewers. D. They are still seen in today’s movies. 41. What do Smell-O-Vision and Sensurround Sound have in common? A. Neither featured sensory effects. B. Neither was widely adopted in theaters. C. Both were created by the same filmmaker. D. Both involved visual enhancements to movies. 42. Which statement about 3-D movies is true according to the passage? A. 3-D technology was mainly used for horror films before 2009. B. 3-D movies were first introduced in the 1970s. C. 3-D movies were popular from the 1950s to the 1990s. D. The first hit 3-D movie was released in 1953. 43. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The history of movie technology B. The emergence and decline of 3-D movies. C. The evolution and impact of gimmicks in movies. D. The financial success of movies with special effects. 【答案】40. B 41. B 42. D 43. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了电影制作者为吸引观众而采用的各种噱头（gimmicks）和特效手段的演变历程，包括气味电影（Smell-O-Vision）、保险噱头、幻觉眼镜（Illusion-O）、震动音效以及3D技术等，并分析了这些噱头的兴衰成败。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Another filmmaker, William Castle, employed various inexpensive gimmicks to attract audiences to his low-budget horror films.(另一位电影人威廉·卡斯尔则采用各种廉价的花招，以吸引观众观看他的低成本恐怖片)”可知，威廉·卡斯尔的噱头制作成本不高。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The film failed, and Smell-O-Vision disappeared from the industry.(这部电影失败了，气味电影从行业中消失了)”以及第四段“However, the vibrations disturbed audiences in neighbouring theaters, leading most theater owners to abandon Sensurround. Only three more films — Midway (1976), Rollercoaster (1977), and Battlestar Galactica (1978) featured the effect.(然而，这种震动却干扰了邻近影院的观众，导致大多数影院老板纷纷放弃使用震动音效。此后仅有三部电影——《中途岛》（1976）、《过山车》（1977）和《太空堡垒卡拉狄加》（1978）——再次使用了这一特效)”可知，气味电影和环震动音效的共同点是都未被影院广泛采用。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Studios experimented with three-dimensional photography as early as 1922, but the first hit 3-D movie was House of Wax in 1953.(早在1922年，摄影工作室就开始尝试三维摄影技术，但第一部成功的3D电影是1953年的《蜡像馆》)”可知，第一部3D电影于1953年上映。 【43题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章按时间顺序介绍了电影中各种噱头（气味电影、保险政策、幻觉眼镜、震动音效、3D技术等）的出现、发展、兴衰及其对电影行业的影响，最后总结“Even though some gimmicks failed, others were linked to box office successes.(尽管一些噱头失败了，但其他一些则与票房成功相关)”由此可知，The financial success of movies with special effects.(特效电影在经济上的成功)能够概括文章大意。 Section C 8% Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. The Best Language for Math What’s the best language for learning math? Hint: You’re not reading it. Chinese, Japanese and Korean use simpler number words and express math concepts more clearly than English. The language gap is drawing growing attention as confusing English number words have been linked in several studies to weaker counting and arithmetic skill in children in English-speaking countries. ___44___ Among the researchers are Karen Fuson, a professor in the School of Education at Northwestern University, and Li Yeping, an expert on Chinese math education at Texas A&M University. Chinese has just nine number words, while English has more than two dozen. The trouble starts at “11”. English has a unique word for the number, while Chinese (as well as Japanese and Korean, among other languages) have words that can be translated as “ten-one” — spoken with the “ten” first. ___45___ English number words over 10 don’t as clearly label place values. Number words for the teens reverse the order of the ones and “teens”, making it easy for children to confuse, say, 17 with 71. As a result, children working with English-number words have a harder time doing multi-digit addition and subtraction (减法). ___46___ It also feels more natural for Chinese speakers than for English speakers to use the “make-a-ten” addition and subtraction strategy. When adding two numbers, students break down the numbers into parts and regroup them into tens and ones. For instance, 9 plus 5 becomes 9 plus 1 plus 4. ___47___ Many teachers in America have increased instruction in the make-a-ten method and called for first-graders to use it to add and subtract. Now, you should feel lucky that you are learning math in China. Thanks to your mother tongue, all math problems just come less confusing and difficult to you! A. So it’s not easy for English speakers to label place values clearly. B. The additional mental steps needed to solve problems cause more errors. C. Differences between Chinese and English, in particular, have been studied for decades. D. This method is a powerful tool for solving more advanced multi-digit addition and subtraction problems. E. Different languages indicate different ways of thinking, causing people to solve math problems differently. F. That makes it easier for children to understand the place value as well as making it clear that the number system is based on units of 10. 【答案】44. C 45. F 46. B 47. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中文、日文和韩文等语言在数学表达上相较于英语的优越性，主要体现在数字词汇的简洁性和对数学概念表达的清晰性上。 【44题详解】 下文“Among the researchers are Karen Fuson, a professor in the School of Education at Northwestern University, and Li Yeping, an expert on Chinese math education at Texas A&M University.(研究人员包括西北大学教育学院教授Karen Fuson和德克萨斯A&M大学中国数学教育专家Li Yeping)”提到了一些研究中文和英文在数学表达上差异的研究人员，C选项“Differences between Chinese and English, in particular, have been studied for decades. (特别是中文和英文之间的差异，已经研究了几十年)”引出下文，说明中文和英文之间的差异已经被研究多年，与下文提到的研究人员相呼应。故选C项。 【45题详解】 上文“English has a unique word for the number, while Chinese (as well as Japanese and Korean, among other languages) have words that can be translated as “ten-one” — spoken with the “ten” first.(英语中每个数字都有独立命名，而中文(以及日语、韩语等语言)则采用“十一”(先说“十”再说“一”)这样的组合表达方式)”对比了英语和中文等语言在表达数字上的差异，F选项“That makes it easier for children to understand the place value as well as making it clear that the number system is based on units of 10.(这使得孩子们更容易理解位值，也清楚地表明数字系统是基于10的单位)”进一步解释了中文等语言在表达数字上的优势，即更容易让孩子理解位值的概念，并且清楚地表明数字系统是基于10的单位，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。 【46题详解】 根据上文“English number words over 10 don’t as clearly label place values. Number words for the teens reverse the order of the ones and “teens”, making it easy for children to confuse, say, 17 with 71. As a result, children working with English-number words have a harder time doing multi-digit addition and subtraction (减法).(英语中超过10的数字单词未能明确标示数位。表示“十几”的数字单词颠倒了个位数与“十”的顺序，这容易导致儿童混淆，例如将17与71弄混。因此，使用英语数字单词的儿童在进行多位数加减法时会更加困难)”可知，本句介绍了英语数词在表达上的不清晰导致的问题，B选项“The additional mental steps needed to solve problems cause more errors.(解决问题所需的额外思维步骤会导致更多错误)”进一步解释了这种不清晰如何导致孩子在数学运算中出错，符合语境。故选B项。 【47题详解】 上文“It also feels more natural for Chinese speakers than for English speakers to use the “make-a-ten” addition and subtraction strategy. When adding two numbers, students break down the numbers into parts and regroup them into tens and ones. For instance, 9 plus 5 becomes 9 plus 1 plus 4(对于说中文的人来说，使用“凑十”加减法策略比说英语的人更自然。当把两个数字相加时，学生把数字分解成几部分，然后把它们重新组合成十和一。例如，9加5变成9加1加4)”介绍了中文使用者在进行加减法时更倾向于使用“凑十”策略，D选项“This method is a powerful tool for solving more advanced multi-digit addition and subtraction problems.(这种方法是解决更高级的多位数加减法问题的有力工具)”承接上文，说明这种方法是解决更高级的多位数加减法问题的有力工具，上下文语意连贯。故选D项。 IV.

Guided Writing 10% 52. Directions: Write an English letter around 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 假设你是Ethan，你的朋友Belle在校园里偶遇了一只幼小瘦弱的流浪猫，想要收养它，但她的父母对此提议有着诸多担忧，并不赞同她的想法。Belle写信向你寻求建议，请你给她回一封信。 请从以下两个立场中任选一个完成写作： 1.支持父母——劝说Belle理解父母的顾虑，顺从父母放弃收养； 2.支持Belle——帮助她想出合情合理的理由，说服父母同意收养。 请在信中围绕所选立场，给出具体建议并说明理由。 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear Belle, I understand your desire to help the kitten, but I believe your parents’ concerns are reasonable. Stray cats may carry diseases that could harm your family, especially if they haven’t received proper vaccinations or medical check-ups. Raising a pet also demands significant time and money, including daily feeding, regular vet visits, and necessary supplies, which might distract you from your studies and affect your academic performance. Moreover, when you leave for university in the near future, your parents would be left caring for it, adding extra pressure to their already busy lives. Instead, I suggest contacting a local animal shelter. They have professional staff and adequate resources to provide proper care and find the kitten a suitable home in a responsible manner. You could even volunteer there during your free time. This way, you help the kitten without burdening your family or compromising your responsibilities. Please consider this alternative. Yours, Ethan 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生以Ethan的身份，回复朋友Belle关于收养流浪猫的问题，选择支持父母的立场，从健康风险、学业影响、长期责任等角度劝说Belle理解父母的顾虑，并建议她联系动物救助机构，以专业方式帮助小猫。 【详解】1.词汇积累： 合理的，有道理的：reasonable→sensible/justifiable 需要，要求：demand→require 使分心，分散注意力：distract→divert 替代方案，选择：alternative→substitute/option 2.句式拓展： 合并简单句 原句：Instead, I suggest contacting a local animal shelter.
