第二部分 阅读 (共两节,满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Car-Free Zones from Around the World
Let’s take a closer look at some of the world’s most unique car-free zones.
Giethoorn, Netherlands
Given Amsterdam’s obsession with cycling, Giethoorn’s car-free status shouldn’t come as a surprise. The town is located on the northern coast of the Netherlands. Like Amsterdam, small canals run through most of the town — and a large total of 180 bridges allows locals to get around.
Fes el-Bali, Morocco
Fes is one of Morocco’s largest cities. Its old town is known for its winding, ancient and small streets — they almost look like something out of Harry Potter. Because the streets are so small, cars can’t access the busiest streets. Thousands of carless streets wind in the city center, full of local markets, merchants, and shops.
Zermatt, Switzerland
Located high in the Swiss Alps near the country’s tallest mountain (Matterhorn), you’ll find a charming old village called Zermatt. Though it resembles other Alpine towns in terms of size and population, there are no cars. This is the result of some careful city-planning, as locals worked together to protect their view. This historic island has been occupied for centuries — you’ll notice this antiquity (古迹) in its cobbled streets. Given its remote nature, there are no cars allowed.
La Cumbrecita, Argentina
In case you didn’t know, there’s a major Alpine influence in Argentina. This is thanks to the number of central European immigrants who packed up and headed to the country throughout the 20th century. Many sought to recreate elements of their homes in Argentina — particularly its mountainous Calamuchita Valley. This snowy, Alps-inspired town went the way of Zermatt, officially banning cars in order to preserve its quaint (古雅的) charm.
1. Which place might fans of Harry Potter be fond of?
A. Giethoorn. B. Fes el-Bali. C. Zermatt. D. La Cumbrecita.
2. For urban scenic preservation, which two countries have cities that ban automobiles?
A. Netherlands and Argentina. B. Netherlands and Morocco.
C. Morocco and Switzerland. D. Argentina and Switzerland.
3. In which column of a magazine might this article be found?
A. Market Pulse. B. Green Futures. C. Urban Mobility. D. Must-See Spots.
B
At a summer camp in a Southern California suburb, the grandmas were in charge. Every week, they taught a group of 8-to-14-year- olds life skills like how to cook and sew (缝制). “Loneliness is something that seniors are challenged with, and they love having younger people around them,” said Zainab Hussain, a program manager at Olive Community Services, a nonprofit that hosted the camp to bring teens and elderly adults together.
In the camp, a small room was filled with energy as the kids chatted and chewed on snacks. Some grandmas were around and watched, content to just be around the youngsters.
Haqiqah Abdul Rahim, one of the grandmas serving as the instructor for sewing, said many kids don’t learn these skills at school, so they’re filling in a gap. She stood in front of the room at the start of the activity, holding up various tools and explaining what they were. Rahim also didn’t get to spend a lot of time with her grandchildren because they didn’t live close. “It is heartwarming to be able to interact with those who love being around you,” Rahim said.
The summer camp was held in partnership with the Golden Connections Club, started by14-year-old high school student Leena Albinali. She lived with her grandma but realized other students didn't have the same opportunity to spend as much time with their grandparents. She also learned about ageism (年龄歧视) and other challenges faced by senior adults in one of her classes.
“They treat us like we’re their grandchildren,” Albinali said.“ We share what we know about artificial intelligence and its impact on our lives, and the elders share their life stories and advice. One of the most important things they’ve shared with me is to live in the moment, something that’s taken on new meaning for me — The people we have right now are not going to be with us forever.”
4. What is the purpose of the summer camp?
A. To teach kids life skills. B. To help seniors fight loneliness.
C. To connect generations. D. To educate kids to respect seniors.
5. How does Rahim find her job of teaching sewing in the camp?
A. It makes up for the lessons at school.
B. It offers career options to kids in future.
C. It inspires kids’ interest in her profession.
D. It reminds her to contact her grandchildren.
6. What inspired Albinali to set up Golden Connections Club?
A. Her school’s support. B. Her own experience.
C. Seniors’ common voice. D. Ageism her grandma got.
7. What message does Albinali want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. The shared challenges facing generations.
B. The curiosity of seniors about technology.
C. The wisdom of the seniors’ life experience.
D. The enriching exchange across generations.
C
Since Glacier (冰川) National Park's creation, it has represented the spiritual treasure ofAmericans with its breathtaking landscapes. But today, climate warming threatens the very emblem of the park, leaving it facing a future in which its name could be cruel ironies(讽刺).
Deep within Glacier National Park, visitors are now met with an amazing sight: a peaceful lake of pale blue water lying among towering peaks. Beautiful as it is, the very presence of this lake is not desired by people. Just a few decades ago, this landscape was entirely frozen. Now the glacier itself is reduced to taking up a small area, sheltered from theSun at the edge of the lake created through its own melting(融化).
The park has already lost 60 percent of its namesake glaciers since the 1850s, and scientists predict their complete disappearance by the century's end. Families from all over theUS and abroad flood to these natural wonders to create memories that will last.
Conserving the national park is one of the rare issues that brings political opponents together in the US. With tens of millions of visitors to these sites every year, it is also an economic necessity. The US government recently announced considerable funds to help. This has issued a challenge to the identity of National Park Service, a US agency brought into existence by a 1916 law that called for the preservation of those treasured sites pristine(处于原始状态的) for the enjoyment of future generations.
“ But it's now pretty clear that it's not achievable in many places,” admits John Gross, an ecologist with the National Park Service climate change response program.“ It's certainly possible that the park could lose the iconic feature for which it has been named.”
The climate crisis has thus brought about a shift in the organization's philosophy: It's acceptable to change a park's natural state to stop its further worsening.
8. What does the underlined word“emblem” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Symbol. B. Location.
C. Recovery. D. Construction.
9. Why is the new lake in the park mentioned?
A. To highlight the economic value of the park.
B. To serve as evidence of the warming climate.
C. To explain the process of glacier formation.
D. To describe a new popular tourist attraction.
10. What can be learned about the National Park Service?
A. It mainly allows for economic benefits.
B. It shows confidence in restoring the park.
C. It is forced to adjust its protection principle.
D. It is taking measures to limit visitor numbers.
11. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. A New Idea for Park Conservation
B. A Park Is Economically on Thin Ice
C. A Political Agreement on Renaming a Park
D. A Park Might Be at Risk of Redefining Itself
D
Construction robots are not new. They have been doing difficult jobs on building sites for some time. Now, there is a new robot named Charlotte. It is said that this robot can build a 2,150-square-foot house all by itself in just one day. It works as fast as about 100 human workers.
Charlotte was created by two Australian companies. One company developed a special, environmentally friendly building material. This material is made from sand, waste glass, and broken bricks found locally. The other company built the robot.
Traditional building needs a lot of steps, like fixing steel bars (钢筋) and setting up wooden frames (框架). But Charlotte is different. It uses a special system to 3D print the building material, layer (层) by layer. It can even move and lift itself up using its “spider legs”. All this is done by one machine in a single, continuous process.
The robot is still being developed. It will probably take a few years before it builds its first real house. A smaller early model was shown at a recent exhibition. The companies have big dreams for Charlotte. They hope it will not only build houses on Earth in the future but also help build bases for research on the Moon. They say its design, which copies ideas from nature, and its ability to work alone make it perfect for the Moon.
While Charlotte seems best for simple building styles right now, its main goal is to help with two big problems: not enough workers and slow building progress. These problems make it hard to solve the housing shortage in many countries. The houses it builds can keep out floods and resist fire. The building process is much faster and cheaper than traditional methods. If the materials are taken from nearby places, it can also be better for the environment by reducing carbon emissions.
Of course, this robot builder won’t be the right solution for every place, climate, or what every person likes, But for the millions of people who need a home, it sounds like a very hopeful way to help solve part of the problem.
12. Which aspect of Charlotte is mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. Its amazing work efficiency. B. Its widespread application.
C. Its environmental quality. D. Its convenient operation.
13. How is Charlotte’s building process different from traditional methods?
A. It needs more time. B. It requires more workers.
C. It focuses on wooden structures. D. It uses a single continuous process.
14. What future application do the companies expect of Charlotte?
A. Repairing historical buildings. B. Developing new building materials.
C. Building research bases on the Moon. D. Creating artistic statues for famous people.
15. What is the author’s attitude to the robot builder?
A. Critical. B. Positive. C. Doubtful D. Uncaring.
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
We all know that we should exercise more, but for many people, the biggest psychological obstacle (心理障碍) is that they feel they simply can’t spare an hour. If you have ever felt guilty for not exercising or have encountered difficulties in time management, then “exercise snacks” might be the solution.
“Exercise snacks” is a new term, referring to short, conscious exercises lasting no more than five minutes. ____16____ Unlike the junk food snacks of the “couch potato” type, these “exercise snacks” are a guilt-free way that makes improving health conditions doable.
A systematic review and analysis found that exercise snacks can significantly improve the cardio-pulmonary (心肺的) function of people who are not physically active. ____17____ As the authors explain, exercise snacks may enhance commitment to regular physical activity by providing short, flexible exercise periods that are easier to integrate into daily routines.
____18____ Instead of carving out an hour at the gym, incorporate (合并) short periods of movement (five minutes or less) into your routine at least twice a day, and make it a habit.
Psychologically, snacking on exercise impacts the workout effect. ____19____It’s more about taking advantage of small windows of opportunity in a practical and realistic way.
Achievable goals can inspire motivation. A task that takes only five minutes feels manageable, and the satisfying “ding, ding, ding” feeling of successfully completing a small snack exercise releases the “reward molecule (分子)” — dopamine, therefore strengthening the formation of habits. ____20____
A. It’s less about discipline or willpower.
B. Climbing stairs in your office building also works.
C. They are particularly effective for those who sit for long.
D. Fitness isn’t something you have to do in big blocks of time.
E. The concept challenges the traditional “all-or-nothing” mindset.
F. Therefore, the key is to do them several times throughout the day.
G. These small wins build confidence, the belief in your ability to succeed.

Sixteen-year-old Grant Mullen had always been different from his classmates. While many teenagers focused on video games and social media, Grant found joy in helping others. His compassionate nature stemmed from the countless hours he spent with his father volunteering at the Specialized Needs recreation (SNR) center in their hometown of Boise, Idaho.
As Grant’s seventeenth birthday approached, his parents noticed he seemed deep in thought. One evening at dinner, his mother asked what he was thinking about. Grant looked up from his plate and said, “Mom, I’ve been thinking about my birthday. Instead of having my usual party with just our family and close friends, I want to do something special.”
His parents exchanged curious glances. “What do you have in mind, sweetheart?” his father asked gently.
Grant’s eyes brightened as he explained his idea. “I want to invite everyone at the SNR center to celebrate with me. Many of them have never been to a birthday party before, and I think everyone deserves to feel special on their birthday.”
His mother’s face softened with emotion. “That’s a beautiful idea, Grant. But are you sure? It might be a big crowd.”
“I’m sure,” Grant replied firmly. “They always smile when we visit, and they’ve taught me so much about happiness and friendship.”
The next weekend, Grant and his father visited the center to extend the invitations. Grant also spoke to the staff at SNR, explaining his plan. They were thrilled and offered to help with the preparations.
One by one, Grant approached each person at the center. Eight-year-old Tommy, who rarely spoke, managed to whisper “thank you” with a huge smile. Middle-aged Robert, who used a wheelchair, wiped away tears of gratitude. Even the shy teenagers who usually kept to themselves began chatting excitedly about the upcoming celebration.
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。
As the day of the party arrived, Grant’s house was transformed into a festive wonderland.

At a summer camp in a Southern California suburb, the grandmas were in charge. Every week, they taught a group of 8-to-14-year- olds life skills like how to cook and sew (缝制). “Loneliness is something that seniors are challenged with, and they love having younger people around them,” said Zainab Hussain, a program manager at Olive Community Services, a nonprofit that hosted the camp to bring teens and elderly adults together.
In the camp, a small room was filled with energy as the kids chatted and chewed on snacks. Some grandmas were around and watched, content to just be around the youngsters.
Haqiqah Abdul Rahim, one of the grandmas serving as the instructor for sewing, said many kids don’t learn these skills at school, so they’re filling in a gap. She stood in front of the room at the start of the activity, holding up various tools and explaining what they were. Rahim also didn’t get to spend a lot of time with her grandchildren because they didn’t live close. “It is heartwarming to be able to interact with those who love being around you,” Rahim said.
The summer camp was held in partnership with the Golden Connections Club, started by14-year-old high school student Leena Albinali. She lived with her grandma but realized other students didn't have the same opportunity to spend as much time with their grandparents. She also learned about ageism (年龄歧视) and other challenges faced by senior adults in one of her classes.
“They treat us like we’re their grandchildren,” Albinali said.“ We share what we know about artificial intelligence and its impact on our lives, and the elders share their life stories and advice. One of the most important things they’ve shared with me is to live in the moment, something that’s taken on new meaning for me — The people we have right now are not going to be with us forever.”
4. What is the purpose of the summer camp?
A. To teach kids life skills. B. To help seniors fight loneliness.
C. To connect generations. D. To educate kids to respect seniors.
5. How does Rahim find her job of teaching sewing in the camp?
A. It makes up for the lessons at school.
B. It offers career options to kids in future.
C. It inspires kids’ interest in her profession.
D. It reminds her to contact her grandchildren.
6. What inspired Albinali to set up Golden Connections Club?
A. Her school’s support. B. Her own experience.
C. Seniors’ common voice. D. Ageism her grandma got.
7. What message does Albinali want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. The shared challenges facing generations.
B. The curiosity of seniors about technology.
C. The wisdom of the seniors’ life experience.
D. The enriching exchange across generations.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D

Since Glacier (冰川) National Park's creation, it has represented the spiritual treasure ofAmericans with its breathtaking landscapes. But today, climate warming threatens the very emblem of the park, leaving it facing a future in which its name could be cruel ironies(讽刺).
Deep within Glacier National Park, visitors are now met with an amazing sight: a peaceful lake of pale blue water lying among towering peaks. Beautiful as it is, the very presence of this lake is not desired by people. Just a few decades ago, this landscape was entirely frozen. Now the glacier itself is reduced to taking up a small area, sheltered from theSun at the edge of the lake created through its own melting(融化).
The park has already lost 60 percent of its namesake glaciers since the 1850s, and scientists predict their complete disappearance by the century's end. Families from all over theUS and abroad flood to these natural wonders to create memories that will last.
Conserving the national park is one of the rare issues that brings political opponents together in the US. With tens of millions of visitors to these sites every year, it is also an economic necessity. The US government recently announced considerable funds to help. This has issued a challenge to the identity of National Park Service, a US agency brought into existence by a 1916 law that called for the preservation of those treasured sites pristine(处于原始状态的) for the enjoyment of future generations.
“ But it's now pretty clear that it's not achievable in many places,” admits John Gross, an ecologist with the National Park Service climate change response program.“ It's certainly possible that the park could lose the iconic feature for which it has been named.”
The climate crisis has thus brought about a shift in the organization's philosophy: It's acceptable to change a park's natural state to stop its further worsening.
8. What does the underlined word“emblem” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Symbol. B. Location.
C. Recovery. D. Construction.
9. Why is the new lake in the park mentioned?
A. To highlight the economic value of the park.
B. To serve as evidence of the warming climate.
C. To explain the process of glacier formation.
D. To describe a new popular tourist attraction.
10. What can be learned about the National Park Service?
A. It mainly allows for economic benefits.
B. It shows confidence in restoring the park.
C. It is forced to adjust its protection principle.
D. It is taking measures to limit visitor numbers.
11. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. A New Idea for Park Conservation
B. A Park Is Economically on Thin Ice
C. A Political Agreement on Renaming a Park
D. A Park Might Be at Risk of Redefining Itself
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍冰川国家公园因气候变暖导致冰川大量消融,面临名称名不副实的危机,以及美国国家公园管理局保护理念的转变。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Since Glacier National Park's creation, it has represented the spiritual treasure of Americans with its breathtaking landscapes. But today, climate warming threatens the very emblem of the park, leaving it facing a future in which its name could be cruel ironies.(自冰川国家公园建立以来,其令人叹为观止的景观便一直是美国人的精神瑰宝。但如今,气候变暖正威胁着这座公园的核心象征,使其未来可能面临名称沦为残酷讽刺的境地。)”可知,“emblem”与前文“represented”相呼应,结合后文“冰川消失导致名称讽刺”,可推断“emblem”指公园的核心“象征”。故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Just a few decades ago, this landscape was entirely frozen. Now the glacier itself is reduced to taking up a small area, sheltered from the Sun at the edge of the lake created through its own melting.(就在几十年前,这片土地还完全被冰雪覆盖。如今,冰川本身已缩小至一小块区域,躲在由自身融水形成的湖岸边缘,避开阳光照射。)”可知,作者提及新形成的湖泊,是为了通过“冰川消融→湖泊形成”的具体现象,证明气候变暖对公园的影响,即作为气候变暖的证据。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“This has issued a challenge to the identity of National Park Service, a US agency brought into existence by a 1916 law that called for the preservation of those treasured sites pristine(处于原始状态的) for the enjoyment of future generations.(这一现状对美国国家公园管理局的核心使命构成了挑战。该机构依据 1916 年的一项法律成立,该法律要求将这些珍贵遗址保持原始状态,以供后代享用)”以及最后一段“The climate crisis has thus brought about a shift in the organization's philosophy: It's acceptable to change a park's natural state to stop its further worsening.(因此,气候危机导致该组织的理念发生了转变:为阻止公园进一步恶化,改变其原始状态是可接受的。)”可知,国家公园管理局原本坚持“保持原始状态”的保护原则,如今因气候危机被迫调整其保护原则。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,根据第一段“Since Glacier (冰川) National Park's creation, it has represented the spiritual treasure ofAmericans with its breathtaking landscapes. But today, climate warming threatens the very emblem of the park, leaving it facing a future in which its name could be cruel ironies(讽刺).(自冰川国家公园建立以来,其令人叹为观止的景观便一直是美国人的精神瑰宝。但如今,气候变暖正威胁着这座公园的核心象征,使其未来可能面临名称沦为残酷讽刺的境地)”短文围绕“冰川国家公园因气候变暖导致冰川消融,名称可能名不副实,管理局被迫调整保护理念”展开。D项“公园可能面临自我定义的危机”为最佳标题。故选D项。

Construction robots are not new. They have been doing difficult jobs on building sites for some time. Now, there is a new robot named Charlotte. It is said that this robot can build a 2,150-square-foot house all by itself in just one day. It works as fast as about 100 human workers.
Charlotte was created by two Australian companies. One company developed a special, environmentally friendly building material. This material is made from sand, waste glass, and broken bricks found locally. The other company built the robot.
Traditional building needs a lot of steps, like fixing steel bars (钢筋) and setting up wooden frames (框架). But Charlotte is different. It uses a special system to 3D print the building material, layer (层) by layer. It can even move and lift itself up using its “spider legs”. All this is done by one machine in a single, continuous process.
The robot is still being developed. It will probably take a few years before it builds its first real house. A smaller early model was shown at a recent exhibition. The companies have big dreams for Charlotte. They hope it will not only build houses on Earth in the future but also help build bases for research on the Moon. They say its design, which copies ideas from nature, and its ability to work alone make it perfect for the Moon.
While Charlotte seems best for simple building styles right now, its main goal is to help with two big problems: not enough workers and slow building progress. These problems make it hard to solve the housing shortage in many countries. The houses it builds can keep out floods and resist fire. The building process is much faster and cheaper than traditional methods. If the materials are taken from nearby places, it can also be better for the environment by reducing carbon emissions.
Of course, this robot builder won’t be the right solution for every place, climate, or what every person likes, But for the millions of people who need a home, it sounds like a very hopeful way to help solve part of the problem.
12. Which aspect of Charlotte is mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. Its amazing work efficiency. B. Its widespread application.
C. Its environmental quality. D. Its convenient operation.
13. How is Charlotte’s building process different from traditional methods?
A. It needs more time. B. It requires more workers.
C. It focuses on wooden structures. D. It uses a single continuous process.
14. What future application do the companies expect of Charlotte?
A. Repairing historical buildings. B. Developing new building materials.
C. Building research bases on the Moon. D. Creating artistic statues for famous people.
15. What is the author’s attitude to the robot builder?
A. Critical. B. Positive. C. Doubtful D. Uncaring.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】

第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
We all know that we should exercise more, but for many people, the biggest psychological obstacle (心理障碍) is that they feel they simply can’t spare an hour. If you have ever felt guilty for not exercising or have encountered difficulties in time management, then “exercise snacks” might be the solution.
“Exercise snacks” is a new term, referring to short, conscious exercises lasting no more than five minutes. ____16____ Unlike the junk food snacks of the “couch potato” type, these “exercise snacks” are a guilt-free way that makes improving health conditions doable.
A systematic review and analysis found that exercise snacks can significantly improve the cardio-pulmonary (心肺的) function of people who are not physically active. ____17____ As the authors explain, exercise snacks may enhance commitment to regular physical activity by providing short, flexible exercise periods that are easier to integrate into daily routines.
____18____ Instead of carving out an hour at the gym, incorporate (合并) short periods of movement (five minutes or less) into your routine at least twice a day, and make it a habit.
Psychologically, snacking on exercise impacts the workout effect. ____19____It’s more about taking advantage of small windows of opportunity in a practical and realistic way.
Achievable goals can inspire motivation. A task that takes only five minutes feels manageable, and the satisfying “ding, ding, ding” feeling of successfully completing a small snack exercise releases the “reward molecule (分子)” — dopamine, therefore strengthening the formation of habits. ____20____
A. It’s less about discipline or willpower.
B. Climbing stairs in your office building also works.
C. They are particularly effective for those who sit for long.
D. Fitness isn’t something you have to do in big blocks of time.
E. The concept challenges the traditional “all-or-nothing” mindset.
F. Therefore, the key is to do them several times throughout the day.
G. These small wins build confidence, the belief in your ability to succeed.
【答案】16. E 17. C 18. D 19. A 20. G

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“运动零食”这一新概念,旨在帮助那些因时间紧张而无法进行长时间锻炼的人改善健康状况。
【16题详解】
根据上文““Exercise snacks” is a new term, referring to short, conscious exercises lasting no more than five minutes.(“运动零食”是一个新术语,指的是持续时间不超过五分钟的短而有意识的运动。)”和下文“Unlike the junk food snacks of the “couch potato” type, these “exercise snacks” are a guilt-free way that makes improving health conditions doable.(与“沙发土豆”类型的垃圾食品零食不同,这些“运动零食”是一种无罪的方式,使改善健康状况成为可能。”可知,上文介绍“运动零食”是持续不超过5分钟的短时间有意识运动,下文强调其区别于垃圾食品,是无负罪感、可实现的健康改善方式。空处需衔接“运动零食”的概念与传统运动观念的差异。E选项“这一概念挑战了传统的‘要么全做要么不做’的思维模式”,既承接了“运动零食”的新定义,又引出其与传统运动(需要长时间投入)的不同,符合上下文逻辑。故选E。
【17题详解】
根据上文“A systematic review and analysis found that exercise snacks can significantly improve the cardio-pulmonary (心肺的) function of people who are not physically active.(一项系统性综述与分析发现,“运动零食”能显著改善缺乏运动人群的心肺功能。)”可知,上文提到系统分析发现“运动零食”能显著改善不运动人群的心肺功能,空处需进一步说明其适用人群或具体效果。C选项“它们对久坐人群尤其有效”,是对上文“不运动人群”的具体细化,且与“改善心肺功能”的效果相呼应,符合语境。故选C。
【18题详解】
根据下文“Instead of carving out an hour at the gym, incorporate (合并) short periods of movement (five minutes or less) into your routine at least twice a day, and make it a habit.(不必专门在健身房腾出一小时锻炼,而是每天至少两次把短时活动(五分钟或更短)融入日常生活,并养成习惯。)”可知,下文建议无需在健身房腾出一小时,而是将短时间运动融入日常,形成习惯。空处需提出核心观点,引导后续的具体建议。D 选项“健身不一定需要大块的时间来完成”直接否定了传统的长时间运动观念,与下文的“短时间运动融入日常” 形成因果关系,符合逻辑。故选D。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Psychologically, snacking on exercise impacts the workout effect.(从心理上讲,运动零食会影响锻炼效果。)”和下文“It’s more about taking advantage of small windows of opportunity in a practical and realistic way.(更多的是以实际和现实的方式利用小的时间窗口。)”可知,上文提到从心理角度,“运动零食”会影响锻炼效果,下文强调其更注重利用零碎机会,实际且现实。空处需衔接心理层面的两种不同侧重点(否定前者,肯定后者)。A选项“它不太关乎自律或意志力”,与下文“更关乎利用零碎机会”形成“less about...more about...”的对比结构,符合上下文的逻辑衔接。故选A。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Achievable goals can inspire motivation. A task that takes only five minutes feels manageable, and the satisfying “ding, ding, ding” feeling of successfully completing a small snack exercise releases the “reward molecule (分子)”— dopamine, therefore strengthening the formation of habits.(可实现的目标可以激发动力。一个只需要五分钟的任务感觉是可以管理的,而且成功完成一个小零食运动的令人满意的‘叮,叮,叮’的感觉会释放‘奖励分子’——多巴胺,从而加强习惯的形成。)”可知,上文提到五分钟的小任务容易完成,完成后会释放多巴胺,强化习惯养成。空处需进一步说明这些小成就的长远影响。G选项 “这些小成功能建立自信,即对自己成功能力的信念”,是对上文“小任务完成带来的积极效果”的延伸,符合语境。故选G。

47. 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。
Sixteen-year-old Grant Mullen had always been different from his classmates. While many teenagers focused on video games and social media, Grant found joy in helping others. His compassionate nature stemmed from the countless hours he spent with his father volunteering at the Specialized Needs recreation (SNR) center in their hometown of Boise, Idaho.
As Grant’s seventeenth birthday approached, his parents noticed he seemed deep in thought. One evening at dinner, his mother asked what he was thinking about. Grant looked up from his plate and said, “Mom, I’ve been thinking about my birthday. Instead of having my usual party with just our family and close friends, I want to do something special.”
His parents exchanged curious glances. “What do you have in mind, sweetheart?” his father asked gently.
Grant’s eyes brightened as he explained his idea. “I want to invite everyone at the SNR center to celebrate with me. Many of them have never been to a birthday party before, and I think everyone deserves to feel special on their birthday.”
His mother’s face softened with emotion. “That’s a beautiful idea, Grant. But are you sure? It might be a big crowd.”
“I’m sure,” Grant replied firmly. “They always smile when we visit, and they’ve taught me so much about happiness and friendship.”
The next weekend, Grant and his father visited the center to extend the invitations. Grant also spoke to the staff at SNR, explaining his plan. They were thrilled and offered to help with the preparations.
One by one, Grant approached each person at the center. Eight-year-old Tommy, who rarely spoke, managed to whisper “thank you” with a huge smile. Middle-aged Robert, who used a wheelchair, wiped away tears of gratitude. Even the shy teenagers who usually kept to themselves began chatting excitedly about the upcoming celebration.
注意:
(1) 续写词数应为150个左右;

As the day of the party arrived, Grant’s house was transformed into a festive wonderland.

The party was a huge success.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
As the day of the party arrived, Grant’s house was transformed into a festive wonderland. Colorful balloons floated near the ceiling, and a banner reading “Everyone’s Birthday!” hung across the doorway. Grant’s family set up activity stations: a craft corner for making party hats, a dance floor with disco lights, and even a “photo booth” with silly props. When the guests arrived, their faces lit up with wonder. Tommy ran to the craft table, clutching glitter glue, while Robert wheeled himself to the photo booth, donning oversized sunglasses. The usually reserved teens hesitantly joined the dance floor, soon laughing as Grant demonstrated his dance moves.
The party was a huge success. By the end of the night, every guest had a handmade party hat and a photo tucked into their pockets. As SNR staff helped pack up, one remarked, “This is the first time I’ve seen so many of them laugh together.” Grant’s father pulled him aside, saying, “You actually gave them a memory they’ll treasure.” Grant smiled with happiness, watching Tommy cling to his new hat like a crown. Later, as he blew out the candles, he whispered a wish: May everyone feel as loved as they made me feel today.
【解析】
