第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50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
The Silk Road city of Khiva in Uzbekistan is often described as a living museum. The Itchan Kala, the inner city, was the first place in Central Asia to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Despite its rich history, Khiva has long been relatively difficult to access due to its remote location and limited transport connections. But 2026 is the year when that changes. A new bullet train service is launching.
Anticipating a rise in visitors, Khiva is expanding its tourism offering. Most attractions are concentrated in the Itchan Kala, a historic walled city rich in the spirit of the Silk Road.
Islam Khodja Minaret: Rising 187 feet, as the second tallest tower in Central Asia, it is in the southeast of the Itchan Kala. It is well worth climbing the 175 steps to the top for bird’s-eye views.
Pahlavan Mahmud Mausoleum: It is a historic monument, just next to the tower, in memory of a famous poet and folk hero in the 13th century.
Juma Mosque: Located at the centre of the walled city, it is a forest of 213 individually carved wooden poles with complex and unique patterns, some of which date from the 10th century.
Nurullaboy Palace: Unlike the other landmarks, it is to the northwest of the walled city. This palace combines architectural styles and technologies from Khiva and Russia.
In addition to its rich history and newly improved accessibility, Uzbekistan’s national dish, plov, has earned UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage status. As for the weather, the best time to visit Khiva is spring or fall, with March 20-21 marking Nowruz - a national holiday filled with concerts and activities. To top it off, accommodation options range from restored historic buildings to luxurious hotels that combine Khorezmian style with international service.
21. Why is 2026 a turning point for Khiva?
A. Historic buildings will be restored.
B. It will expand to receive more visitors.
C. A new transport link will improve access.
D. It will become a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
22. Which building is located outside the Itchan Kala?
A. Islam Khodja Minaret. B. Pahlavan Mahmud Mausoleum.
C. Juma Mosque. D. Nurullaboy Palace.
23. What is the text mainly about?
A. The development of tourism in Uzbekistan.
B. The rich history and culture of Central Asia.
C. The architectural wonders along the Silk Road.
D. The tourism overview of the Silk Road city of Khiva.

Tobie Spears has always had wanderlust (旅行癖). Several years ago, she hit the road again to see the world. She and her husband drove south through Mexico and into Guatemala.What greeted them was nothing short of breathtaking: verdant jungles (丛林), crystal lakes, wide rivers and native residents having lived there for thousands of years.
In a Guatemalan village, it was when Spears and her husband rented a small house that they realized the living conditions were more primitive than back home, but the simple life was appealing. Despite their cheerfulness, the local people struggled with harsh realities: not enough food to eat, poor educational opportunities, and no reliable way to build a self-sufficient life.
Spears wondered what she could do that would make a lasting change.“We didn’t want to give them a few things and leave,” she said.“We wanted to help, and they were able to manage it on their own.” So they started teaching, focusing on income opportunity. The couple taught skills like how to use a sewing machine, how to create a more productive garden, and how to charge for services and manage resources.
Their first few years centered on completing projects, although traveling four times a year made it difficult to keep the effort going. In time, the locals took to it. The vertical gardening techniques took root, which made more vegetables available. A few sewing machines arrived, and skilled seamstresses emerged. Then Spears realized she needed help.
She reached out to friends, and the joint effort was organized into a nonprofit: BeHumanitarian. With the formalization of the nonprofit, the impact outgrew even their own expectations, more sponsors and volunteers joining the initiative. A community grew up around the village in Guatemala, with people coming four times a year to support, love and discover what really matters.
“It’s the people you meet and the relationships you build that will fill your life with the feeling of genuine happiness,” said Spears.
24. What first impressed Spears and her husband upon arriving in Guatemala?
A. The residents’ rich traditional culture.
B. The gray landscape of local villages.
C. The area’s attractive natural scenery.
D. The locals’ difficult living conditions.
25. How did Spears and her husband help people in Guatemala?
A. By handing out plenty of donations.
B. By helping them sustain themselves.
C. By telling them to quit their initial work.
D. By convincing them to value education.
26. How did people react to Be Humanitarian?
A. They increased their visits. B. They were in favor of it.
C. They appeared resistant to it. D. They quitted their teaching.
27. What can be the best title for the text?
A. From a Nonprofit to a Village B. From Sightseeing to Settling Down
C. How Wander Turned Wonder D. How a Couple Developed Wanderlust
C
In recent years, consumers have increasingly sought “clean-label” foods — products made with natural ingredients. This trend has driven scientists to search for safe, natural preservatives (防腐剂,保护剂). They have turned their attention to a part of the cashew nut (腰果) that is often thrown away — the shell. From it, they extract Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) and find that it contains special natural substances that can fight bacteria and prevent decay (变质). While this dark liquid has been studied for use in industries like paint and medicine, its potential for preserving food had not been fully explored until now.
The scientists designed a careful experiment to test whether CNSL could help preserve beef, one of the most widely consumed meats globally. They applied the liquid to beef samples at different concentrations (含量、浓度). Some meat was left untreated as controls. The samples were then stored under different conditions — some at room temperature and others in refrigeration — for two weeks.
During storage, a detailed microbiological evaluation was conducted to quantify total viable (活菌) counts and specific spoilage organisms (腐败菌), including Pseudomonas spp., Clostridium spp., and Proteus spp. Physicochemical analyses monitored changes in pH and water activity, while bacteria growth was assessed during storage at room temperature. The scientists discovered that the CNSL-treated meat showed significantly less bacterial growth than untreated meat. The effect was strongest at higher concentrations, with a 2.0% solution providing excellent protection while maintaining meat quality. Even at room temperature, it effectively delayed the meat’s souring process and reduced bacteria growth, helping the beef stay fresh-looking longer.
The researchers note that further studies are needed to understand whether the liquid affects the taste and texture of the beef, and how it might be combined with modern packaging for even better results. Still, this study opens a window into nature’s own way of keeping food fresh — hidden inside a humble cashew shell.
28. Why are scientists studying cashew nut shells?
A. To reduce waste in the food industry.
B. To improve the taste of processed foods.
C. To find natural alternatives to artificial preservatives.
D. To develop new industrial materials for paint and medicine.
29. What was the primary focus of the microbiological evaluation?
A. The variety of cashew species.
B. The safety of refrigerated beef.
C. The changes in pH and water activity.
D. The effectiveness of CNSL against bacteria.
30. What does the experiment suggest about CNSL?
A. It can improve meat quality over time.
B. It performs best at room temperature.
C. It speeds up the meat’s souring process.
D. Its concentration and the storage life are closely related.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of CNSL?
A. Fully convinced.
B. Cautiously optimistic.
C. Hesitant and doubtful.
D. Neutral and objective.
D
Hanley-Dafoe’s third offering, following Stress Wisely, makes an inspiring case for the power of hope. Drawing on her experience as an educator and wellness scholar “to cultivate (培养) a hope practice,” Hanley-Dafoe roots her argument in the deep effect that a lack of hope — or hopelessness — can have on people, describing that state as like “being trapped in a room without doors or windows.”
Her perspective is not limited to the “internal battle” of the individual; she demonstrates the urgent role that hope plays in society, “offering us purpose when things fall apart. ” Hope is tied, here, to resiliency (韧性), which is “about growing, learning, and unlearning how to show up” — all hopeful acts. Hanley-Dafoe guides readers to move from “understanding hope to embodying it” with the framework of her four-element “hope blocks” model, an original, intuitive (直觉的) “battle board to help you continuously show up with hope. ”
Hanley-Dafoe never shies away from the pressing issues that can arouse hopelessness, such as the climate crisis, and she demonstrates how hope has always fueled movements for change. However, at times she seems to dare readers to turn away from her hope, as in a story about encouraging a child’s dream of playing in the NBA. That moment proves complex, especially when another child complains, “If that kid’s dream comes true, mine won’t.” Hanley-Dafoe builds this into a revealing lesson: in a world damaged by the lack of resources and an “us-vs-them mentality,” many believe that “if something good happened to someone else, there won’t be any good left over for others.”
Written with grace and power, I Hope So encourages readers to grow past such desperate beliefs. Hanley-Dafoe writes with heartening insight about resiliency and offers clear, flexible guidance for finding ways to be more hopeful. What makes the book stand out, though, is its original thinking and an infectious spirit of — what else? — Hope.
32. What is the basis of Hanley-Dafoe’s viewpoint?
A. The successful publication of Stress Wisely.
B. The severe impact of lacking hope on people.
C. Her strong determination of battling hopelessness.
D. Her professional background in education and health.
33. What does Hanley-Dafoe’s “hope blocks” model aim to do?
A. Clarify the urgent role of hope in society.
B. Address the internal battle within every individual.
C. Explain the relationship between hope and resiliency.
D. Shift the focus from understanding hope to practicing it.
34. What does paragraph 3 imply about hope?
A. It drives progress. B. It faces challenges.
C. It ignores reality. D. It favors the lucky.
35. What is the text?
A. A book review. B. A research paper. C. A journal entry. D. A news report.

Jane had a deep affection for birds. Every morning, she scattered (抛撒) seeds in her backyard and whispered, “Good morning, my little friends!” To her, their songs sounded like cheerful laughter, and she often laughed along with them.
However, her neighbor, Mr. Thompson, didn’t share her joy. He was constantly annoyed by the birds that flew into his yard. “They’re too noisy!” he complained. “And they make such a mess in MY yard!” His sharp words made Jane feel quite uneasy, yet she refused to give up on her feathered friends. She firmly believed that every small creature deserved care.
One morning, Jane discovered a small sparrow (麻雀) shaking under the fence. One of its wings looked bent at a painful angle. Filled with worry, Jane carefully picked it up and named it Pip. She placed him in a small, warm basket in a safe corner right next to the fence.
A week passed. Pip was getting better but still unable to fly. One afternoon, while Jane was feeding Pip by the fence, Mr. Thompson shouted from his side, “You’re just asking for trouble!” Jane gently lifted Pip in her hands so Mr. Thompson could see him through the gaps in the fence. “Look, Mr. Thompson. Pip’s wing is hurt.” Mr. Thompson cast an impatient glance at the tiny creature. For a moment, his frown (皱眉) softened. “That wing...” he said softly, almost to himself.
Just then, Jane’s mother called her from the driveway, saying they were leaving for a family visit. Jane waved a quick goodbye to Pip and hurried to the car. However, on their way home, a heavy storm broke out. Watching the trees shaking in the strong wind, Jane felt very worried about Pip, who was left all alone in the yard. The moment they pulled into the driveway, she dashed toward the backyard, calling Pip’s name.

The Silk Road city of Khiva in Uzbekistan is often described as a living museum. The Itchan Kala, the inner city, was the first place in Central Asia to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Despite its rich history, Khiva has long been relatively difficult to access due to its remote location and limited transport connections. But 2026 is the year when that changes. A new bullet train service is launching.
Anticipating a rise in visitors, Khiva is expanding its tourism offering. Most attractions are concentrated in the Itchan Kala, a historic walled city rich in the spirit of the Silk Road.
Islam Khodja Minaret: Rising 187 feet, as the second tallest tower in Central Asia, it is in the southeast of the Itchan Kala. It is well worth climbing the 175 steps to the top for bird’s-eye views.
Pahlavan Mahmud Mausoleum: It is a historic monument, just next to the tower, in memory of a famous poet and folk hero in the 13th century.
Juma Mosque: Located at the centre of the walled city, it is a forest of 213 individually carved wooden poles with complex and unique patterns, some of which date from the 10th century.
Nurullaboy Palace: Unlike the other landmarks, it is to the northwest of the walled city. This palace combines architectural styles and technologies from Khiva and Russia.
In addition to its rich history and newly improved accessibility, Uzbekistan’s national dish, plov, has earned UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage status. As for the weather, the best time to visit Khiva is spring or fall, with March 20-21 marking Nowruz - a national holiday filled with concerts and activities. To top it off, accommodation options range from restored historic buildings to luxurious hotels that combine Khorezmian style with international service.
21. Why is 2026 a turning point for Khiva?
A. Historic buildings will be restored.
B. It will expand to receive more visitors.
C. A new transport link will improve access.
D. It will become a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
22. Which building is located outside the Itchan Kala?
A. Islam Khodja Minaret. B. Pahlavan Mahmud Mausoleum.
C. Juma Mosque. D. Nurullaboy Palace.
23. What is the text mainly about?
A. The development of tourism in Uzbekistan.
B. The rich history and culture of Central Asia.
C. The architectural wonders along the Silk Road.
D. The tourism overview of the Silk Road city of Khiva.
【答案】21. C 22. D 23. D

Tobie Spears has always had wanderlust (旅行癖). Several years ago, she hit the road again to see the world. She and her husband drove south through Mexico and into Guatemala.What greeted them was nothing short of breathtaking: verdant jungles (丛林), crystal lakes, wide rivers and native residents having lived there for thousands of years.
In a Guatemalan village, it was when Spears and her husband rented a small house that they realized the living conditions were more primitive than back home, but the simple life was appealing. Despite their cheerfulness, the local people struggled with harsh realities: not enough food to eat, poor educational opportunities, and no reliable way to build a self-sufficient life.
Spears wondered what she could do that would make a lasting change.“We didn’t want to give them a few things and leave,” she said.“We wanted to help, and they were able to manage it on their own.” So they started teaching, focusing on income opportunity. The couple taught skills like how to use a sewing machine, how to create a more productive garden, and how to charge for services and manage resources.
Their first few years centered on completing projects, although traveling four times a year made it difficult to keep the effort going. In time, the locals took to it. The vertical gardening techniques took root, which made more vegetables available. A few sewing machines arrived, and skilled seamstresses emerged. Then Spears realized she needed help.
She reached out to friends, and the joint effort was organized into a nonprofit: BeHumanitarian. With the formalization of the nonprofit, the impact outgrew even their own expectations, more sponsors and volunteers joining the initiative. A community grew up around the village in Guatemala, with people coming four times a year to support, love and discover what really matters.
“It’s the people you meet and the relationships you build that will fill your life with the feeling of genuine happiness,” said Spears.
24. What first impressed Spears and her husband upon arriving in Guatemala?
A. The residents’ rich traditional culture.
B. The gray landscape of local villages.
C. The area’s attractive natural scenery.
D. The locals’ difficult living conditions.
25. How did Spears and her husband help people in Guatemala?
A. By handing out plenty of donations.
B. By helping them sustain themselves.
C. By telling them to quit their initial work.
D. By convincing them to value education.
26. How did people react to Be Humanitarian?
A. They increased their visits. B. They were in favor of it.
C. They appeared resistant to it. D. They quitted their teaching.
27. What can be the best title for the text?
A. From a Nonprofit to a Village B. From Sightseeing to Settling Down
C. How Wander Turned Wonder D. How a Couple Developed Wanderlust
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了Tobie Spears夫妇在旅行中帮助危地马拉当地村民学习技能、实现自给自足,并最终创立非营利组织BeHumanitarian的故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“What greeted them was nothing short of breathtaking: verdant jungles (丛林), crystal lakes, wide rivers... (迎接他们的景象令人叹为观止:翠绿的丛林、水晶般的湖泊、宽阔的河流……)”可知,吸引Spears和丈夫的是该地区迷人的自然风光。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中““We didn’t want to give them a few things and leave,” she said.“We wanted to help, and they were able to manage it on their own.” So they started teaching, focusing on income opportunity. The couple taught skills like how to use a sewing machine, how to create a more productive garden, and how to charge for services and manage resources. (“我们不想给他们一些东西就离开,”她说。“我们想提供帮助,而他们能够自己管理。”于是,他们开始教学,重点放在创收机会上。这对夫妇传授了诸如如何使用缝纫机、如何建造更高产的花园、以及如何为服务收费和管理资源等技能。)”可知,Spears和丈夫通过帮助他们自给自足来提供帮助。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“With the formalization of the nonprofit, the impact outgrew even their own expectations, more sponsors and volunteers joining the initiative. (随着这个非营利组织的正式成立,其影响力甚至超出了他们自己的预期,更多的赞助商和志愿者加入了这项倡议)”可推知,人们支持BeHumanitarian。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了Tobie Spears夫妇在旅行中帮助危地马拉当地村民学习技能、实现自给自足,并最终创立非营利组织BeHumanitarian的故事。故C项“How Wander Turned Wonder (一场漫游,成就一份美好善举)”能概括文章内容,最适合做文章标题。
C
In recent years, consumers have increasingly sought “clean-label” foods — products made with natural ingredients. This trend has driven scientists to search for safe, natural preservatives (防腐剂,保护剂). They have turned their attention to a part of the cashew nut (腰果) that is often thrown away — the shell. From it, they extract Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) and find that it contains special natural substances that can fight bacteria and prevent decay (变质). While this dark liquid has been studied for use in industries like paint and medicine, its potential for preserving food had not been fully explored until now.
The scientists designed a careful experiment to test whether CNSL could help preserve beef, one of the most widely consumed meats globally. They applied the liquid to beef samples at different concentrations (含量、浓度). Some meat was left untreated as controls. The samples were then stored under different conditions — some at room temperature and others in refrigeration — for two weeks.
During storage, a detailed microbiological evaluation was conducted to quantify total viable (活菌) counts and specific spoilage organisms (腐败菌), including Pseudomonas spp., Clostridium spp., and Proteus spp. Physicochemical analyses monitored changes in pH and water activity, while bacteria growth was assessed during storage at room temperature. The scientists discovered that the CNSL-treated meat showed significantly less bacterial growth than untreated meat. The effect was strongest at higher concentrations, with a 2.0% solution providing excellent protection while maintaining meat quality. Even at room temperature, it effectively delayed the meat’s souring process and reduced bacteria growth, helping the beef stay fresh-looking longer.
The researchers note that further studies are needed to understand whether the liquid affects the taste and texture of the beef, and how it might be combined with modern packaging for even better results. Still, this study opens a window into nature’s own way of keeping food fresh — hidden inside a humble cashew shell.
28. Why are scientists studying cashew nut shells?
A. To reduce waste in the food industry.
B. To improve the taste of processed foods.
C. To find natural alternatives to artificial preservatives.
D. To develop new industrial materials for paint and medicine.
29. What was the primary focus of the microbiological evaluation?
A. The variety of cashew species.
B. The safety of refrigerated beef.
C. The changes in pH and water activity.
D. The effectiveness of CNSL against bacteria.
30. What does the experiment suggest about CNSL?
A. It can improve meat quality over time.
B. It performs best at room temperature.
C. It speeds up the meat’s souring process.
D. Its concentration and the storage life are closely related.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of CNSL?
A. Fully convinced.
B. Cautiously optimistic.
C. Hesitant and doubtful.
D. Neutral and objective.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述了科学家发现腰果壳液有保存食物的效果,介绍了实验设计、实验结果以及未来研究方向。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“This trend has driven scientists to search for safe, natural preservatives (防腐剂,保护剂). They have turned their attention to a part of the cashew nut (腰果) that is often thrown away — the shell.(这一趋势促使科学家们寻找安全、天然的防腐剂。他们将注意力转向了腰果经常被丢弃的一部分——果壳。)”可推知,科学家研究腰果壳是为了寻找天然的防腐剂,以替代人工防腐剂。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“During storage, a detailed microbiological evaluation was conducted to quantify total viable (活菌) counts and specific spoilage organisms (腐败菌), including Pseudomonas spp., Clostridium spp., and Proteus spp. Physicochemical analyses monitored changes in pH and water activity, while bacteria growth was assessed during storage at room temperature. The scientists discovered that the CNSL-treated meat showed significantly less bacterial growth than untreated meat.(在储存过程中,进行了详细的微生物评估,以量化总活菌数和特定的腐败菌,包括假单胞菌属、梭菌属和变形杆菌属。物理化学分析监测了pH值和水分活性的变化,同时在室温下储存期间评估了细菌的生长情况。科学家们发现,经腰果壳液处理的肉类比未经处理的肉类细菌生长明显更少。)”可知,微生物评估的主要关注点是腰果壳液抑制细菌生长的效果。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“The effect was strongest at higher concentrations, with a 2.0% solution providing excellent protection while maintaining meat quality.(这种效果在较高浓度时最强,2.0%的溶液在保持了肉质的同时提供了极佳的保护。)”可推知,实验表明腰果壳液的浓度与防腐效果(储存寿命)密切相关。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers note that further studies are needed to understand whether the liquid affects the taste and texture of the beef, and how it might be combined with modern packaging for even better results. Still, this study opens a window into nature’s own way of keeping food fresh — hidden inside a humble cashew shell.(研究人员指出,需要进一步的研究来了解这种液体是否会影响牛肉的味道和质地,以及如何将其与现代包装相结合以获得更好的效果。尽管如此,这项研究还是打开了一扇窗户,让我们了解大自然自己保持食物新鲜的方式——隐藏在一个不起眼的腰果壳里。 )”可知,作者虽然肯定了目前的研究成果,但也指出了需要进一步研究的地方,态度是谨慎乐观的。
D
Hanley-Dafoe’s third offering, following Stress Wisely, makes an inspiring case for the power of hope. Drawing on her experience as an educator and wellness scholar “to cultivate (培养) a hope practice,” Hanley-Dafoe roots her argument in the deep effect that a lack of hope — or hopelessness — can have on people, describing that state as like “being trapped in a room without doors or windows.”
Her perspective is not limited to the “internal battle” of the individual; she demonstrates the urgent role that hope plays in society, “offering us purpose when things fall apart. ” Hope is tied, here, to resiliency (韧性), which is “about growing, learning, and unlearning how to show up” — all hopeful acts. Hanley-Dafoe guides readers to move from “understanding hope to embodying it” with the framework of her four-element “hope blocks” model, an original, intuitive (直觉的) “battle board to help you continuously show up with hope. ”
Hanley-Dafoe never shies away from the pressing issues that can arouse hopelessness, such as the climate crisis, and she demonstrates how hope has always fueled movements for change. However, at times she seems to dare readers to turn away from her hope, as in a story about encouraging a child’s dream of playing in the NBA. That moment proves complex, especially when another child complains, “If that kid’s dream comes true, mine won’t.” Hanley-Dafoe builds this into a revealing lesson: in a world damaged by the lack of resources and an “us-vs-them mentality,” many believe that “if something good happened to someone else, there won’t be any good left over for others.”
Written with grace and power, I Hope So encourages readers to grow past such desperate beliefs. Hanley-Dafoe writes with heartening insight about resiliency and offers clear, flexible guidance for finding ways to be more hopeful. What makes the book stand out, though, is its original thinking and an infectious spirit of — what else? — Hope.
32. What is the basis of Hanley-Dafoe’s viewpoint?
A. The successful publication of Stress Wisely.
B. The severe impact of lacking hope on people.
C. Her strong determination of battling hopelessness.
D. Her professional background in education and health.
33. What does Hanley-Dafoe’s “hope blocks” model aim to do?
A. Clarify the urgent role of hope in society.
B. Address the internal battle within every individual.
C. Explain the relationship between hope and resiliency.
D. Shift the focus from understanding hope to practicing it.
34. What does paragraph 3 imply about hope?
A. It drives progress. B. It faces challenges.
C. It ignores reality. D. It favors the lucky.
35. What is the text?
A. A book review. B. A research paper. C. A journal entry. D. A news report.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文,本文围绕Hanley-Dafoe的新书《I Hope So》展开,介绍书的核心观点、框架并给出了评价。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Drawing on her experience as an educator and wellness scholar “to cultivate (培养) a hope practice,” Hanley-Dafoe roots her argument in the deep effect that a lack of hope — or hopelessness — can have on people, describing that state as like “being trapped in a room without doors or windows.” (她以自己作为教育工作者和致力于培养希望实践的健康研究学者的经历为基础,Hanley-Dafoe将她的观点建立在缺乏希望(或绝望)对人们产生的深远影响之上,她将这种状态描述为“被困在一个没有门和窗的房间里。”)”可知,她的论点建立在“缺乏希望对人产生的严重影响”之上,故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Hanley-Dafoe guides readers to move from “understanding hope to embodying it” with the framework of her four-element “hope blocks” model (Hanley-Dafoe通过她提出的四个元素的“希望模块”模型,引导读者从“理解希望到践行希望”)”可知,“希望模块”模型的目的是引导读者从“理解希望”转向“践行希望”,故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“and she demonstrates how hope has always fueled movements for change. (她展示了希望如何一直为变革运动提供动力。)”可知,希望驱动进步,故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容,结合第一段中“Hanley-Dafoe’s third offering, following Stress Wisely, makes an inspiring case for the power of hope. (Hanley-Dafoe的第三部作品,继《Stress Wisely》之后,进一步阐述了希望的力量,)”和最后一段中“Written with grace and power, I Hope So encourages readers to grow past such desperate beliefs.

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。
Jane had a deep affection for birds. Every morning, she scattered (抛撒) seeds in her backyard and whispered, “Good morning, my little friends!” To her, their songs sounded like cheerful laughter, and she often laughed along with them.
However, her neighbor, Mr. Thompson, didn’t share her joy. He was constantly annoyed by the birds that flew into his yard. “They’re too noisy!” he complained. “And they make such a mess in MY yard!” His sharp words made Jane feel quite uneasy, yet she refused to give up on her feathered friends. She firmly believed that every small creature deserved care.
One morning, Jane discovered a small sparrow (麻雀) shaking under the fence. One of its wings looked bent at a painful angle. Filled with worry, Jane carefully picked it up and named it Pip. She placed him in a small, warm basket in a safe corner right next to the fence.
A week passed. Pip was getting better but still unable to fly. One afternoon, while Jane was feeding Pip by the fence, Mr. Thompson shouted from his side, “You’re just asking for trouble!” Jane gently lifted Pip in her hands so Mr. Thompson could see him through the gaps in the fence. “Look, Mr. Thompson. Pip’s wing is hurt.” Mr. Thompson cast an impatient glance at the tiny creature. For a moment, his frown (皱眉) softened. “That wing...” he said softly, almost to himself.
Just then, Jane’s mother called her from the driveway, saying they were leaving for a family visit. Jane waved a quick goodbye to Pip and hurried to the car. However, on their way home, a heavy storm broke out. Watching the trees shaking in the strong wind, Jane felt very worried about Pip, who was left all alone in the yard. The moment they pulled into the driveway, she dashed toward the backyard, calling Pip’s name.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
To her horror, the basket was empty.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At this moment, Mr. Thompson appeared with Pip.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
To her horror, the basket was empty. Jane’s heart sank as she frantically searched the yard, her voice trembling with fear as she called Pip’s name. Tears welled up in her eyes as she imagined the worst, fearing that Pip might have been blown away by the storm or hurt by the falling branches. She knelt down, scanning the ground for any sign of the little sparrow, her hands shaking as she picked up twigs and leaves.
At this moment, Mr. Thompson appeared with Pip. He held the sparrow gently in his hands, his expression a mix of concern and embarrassment. “I found him hiding under my porch,” he said, his voice softer than usual. “The storm was too strong for him.” Jane rushed over, tears of relief streaming down her face as she took Pip back. She looked up at Mr. Thompson, her eyes shining with gratitude. “Thank you.” she whispered, her heart overflowing with joy and newfound respect for her neighbor.
【解析】
【导语】本文以Jane与邻居Mr. Thompson围绕鸟类的矛盾冲突为线索展开。Jane对鸟类满怀热爱,不仅每日在院子抛撒种子与鸟儿互动,还悉心救助了一只受伤的麻雀Pip。然而,邻居Mr. Thompson却对鸟儿极为厌烦,觉得它们吵闹且把院子弄得杂乱不堪。一次,Jane因外出遭遇暴风雨,回家后发现安置Pip的篮子空了,她顿时心急如焚,害怕Pip遭遇不测。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“令她惊恐的是,篮子是空的。”可知,第一段可着重描写Jane发现篮子空了之后,内心极度惊恐,进而在院子里疯狂寻找Pip,脑海中不断浮现各种Pip可能遭遇不幸的可怕场景。
②由第二段首句内容“这时,汤普森先生带着Pip出现了。”可知,第二段可描写汤普森先生讲述找到Pip的过程,Jane对汤普森先生表达感激之情,同时她对汤普森先生的看法也发生了转变。
2. 续写线索: Jane发现篮子空了——内心焦急、流泪寻找——担忧Pip遭遇危险——Mr. Thompson带着Pip出现——Mr. Thompson说明救助经过——Jane欣慰落泪、道谢——邻里关系缓和
3. 词汇激活:
行为类
①颤抖:tremble/shiver
②涌出:well up/spring up
③浏览:scan/look through
情绪类
①恐惧:fear/dread
②宽慰:relief/comfort
【点睛】【高分句型1】Jane’s heart sank as she frantically searched the yard, her voice trembling with fear as she called Pip’s name.(运用了两个as引导的时间状语从句以及独立主格结构)
【高分句型2】She knelt down, scanning the ground for any sign of the little sparrow, her hands shaking as she picked up twigs and leaves.(运用了现在分词作状语、独立主格结构以及as引导的时间状语从句)
