Lonely Planet has published its yearly list of top places to go. Let’s explore the top picks for travel destinations in 2025. Top City: Nairobi Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, was chosen for its unique music and dance culture, and impressive local restaurants. Nairobi National Park, just a short drive out of the city’s central business district, is a must-see, where visitors can see over-400 species wandering the open grass plains while skyscrapers twinkle on the horizon. Top Country: Mongolia Mongolia is loved for its wide-open spaces, adventure activities, and unique food. The Mongolian government has announced 2023 through 2025 as: the “Years to Visit Mongolia”, easing entry conditions for international travelers and improving public facilities, including a new $650 million airport. Top Sustainable Travel Destination: Spain The publisher also recommended Spain for the country’s efforts to expand renewable energy, to develop off-season travel, and to bring tourism to new destinations, such as the port city of Valencia, easing pressures on hot spots such as Barcelona. Top Best-Value Location: The American Midwest The American Midwest, including the cities of Chicago and Detroit, is also on the list, as it offers a high-quality travel experience at a reasonable cost.

B When Mike Mushaw decided to join the national bone marrow (骨髓) registry nearly three years ago, he never ready gave it a second thought. After all, he did it only because his college, football coach had encouraged him and his teammates to register. But about six months after the sign-up, he did get a call. The now 21-year-old linebacker’s bone marrow matched a patient in Virginia. Mushaw had to decide whether to go all in. It would mean spending a night in the hospital and undergoing general anesthesia, which carries some risk. And he’d likely never know whether his donation worked. “Once they took 17 vials (试管) of blood, I was like, ‘All right this is real. This is going to happen.’” His donation went to a five-month-old girl named Eleanor who was sick with a rare immune-deficiency disease that was diagnosed when she was only three month old. Eleanor had rarely left her house other than to travel to the hospital or the doctor. “Eleanor was going to die without a bone marrow transplant,” her mother, Jessica, told NBC. Still, there was no guarantee of success. Eleanor’s family had hoped that she would have some improvement from the transplant, enough to live a more normal, life. Instead, after a few weeks, the doctors at Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C., came back with shocking news: Eleanor’s condition hadn’t just improved—Mushaw’s bone marrow had cured her. Mushaw didn’t know any of this until months after his donation. In most cases, the donor and recipient remain anonymous to each other. But about six months after the procedure, Eleanor’s parents sent him an e-mail to thank him for saving her life. “When they told me it was a little girl, I got a little choked up,” Mushaw says. But their surprising connection was only beginning. Mushaw asked whether he and Eleanor could FaceTime regularly so he could check on her progress. “It was amazing to watch her and be a part of her life,” he says. Eleanor kept tabs on him, too, by watching his football games on TV. Mushaw often invited her family to drive from Virginia to Connecticut to meet at his games where tiny shouts of “Mike! Mike!” could be heard from the stands as the little girl cheered on her very own hero. “I had waited by that point well over a year to finally give a hug to this guy who saved my daughter’s life,” Jessica says. “We felt like we were on cloud nine all weekend getting to spend time with him and have him be with Eleanor.” In January, Mushaw reunited with Eleanor, this time in Virginia, to celebrate her birthday. It will likely be the first of many celebrations together. “As a parent, it feels really great to watch someone love your kid as much as you do,” Jessica says. We were two complete strangers, and now we’ve become such a big part of each other’s lives.” 24. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Mushaw decided to join the national bone marrow registry on his own. B. Mushaw was unwilling to donate his bone marrow. C. Mushaw at first wondered whether his donation would work. D. Mushaw signed up the bone marrow registry at 21. 25. What does the underlined phrase “kept tabs on” in paragraph 5 mean? A. pay a price to B. pay close attention to C. keep a record of D. keep pace with 26. What can we know about Eleanor from the article? A. Eleanor was often taken out to travel before deceiving the donation. B. Eleanor’s family was certain that she could be cured with the donation. C. Eleanor was excited when watching Mike’s football game. D. Eleanor first saw Mushaw when Mushaw went to Virginia to celebrate her birthday. 27. Which is the best title for the article? A. A Little Life Saved, A Big Friend Made B. A Medical Miracle C. A Lucky Transplant D. Donation Working, Girl Saved C Space is where our future is—trips to the Moon, Mars and beyond. Most people would think that aside from comets (彗星) and stars, there was little else out there. But, since our space journey started we have left so much trash there that scientists are now concerned that if we don’t clean it up, we may all be in mortal (致命的) danger. The first piece of space junk was created in 1964, when the American satellite Vanguard 1 stopped operating and lost its connection with the ground center. However, since it kept orbiting around the Earth without any consequences, scientists became increasingly comfortable abandoning things that no longer served any useful purpose in space. It is estimated that there are now over millions of pieces of man-made trash orbiting the Earth at high speed. The junk varies from tiny pieces of paint chipped off rockets to cameras, huge fuel tanks, and even odd items like the million-dollar tool kit that astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper lost during a spacewalk. The major problem with the space trash is that it may hit working satellites and damage traveling spacecraft. Moreover, pieces of junk may collide (碰撞) with each other and break into pieces which fall back to the Earth. To avoid this, scientists have invented several ways of clearing the sky. Ground stations have been built to monitor larger pieces of space trash to prevent them from crashing into working satellites or space shuttles. Future plans include a cooperative effort among many nations to stop littering in space and to clean up the trash already there. 28. What was the first piece of man-made space trash? A. A camera. B. A tool kit. C. A broken satellite. D. A fuel tank. 29. Why were scientists NOT concerned about space trash in the beginning? A. It did not cause any problems. B. It no longer served any useful purpose. C. It was millions of miles away from the Earth. D. It was regarded as similar to comets and stars. 30. What can be learned about space junk? A. It is huge, heavy machines. B. It may cause problems for space shuttles. C. It floats slowly around the Earth. D. It never changes positions. 31. What has been done to the space trash problem? A. Ground stations are built to help store the trash properly in space. B. Many nations have worked together to stop polluting space. C. Larger pieces of space trash are being closely watched. D. Scientists have cleaned up most of the trash. D When thinking about placing a human being in space, one of the most important questions was how to design special clothing needed to protect a person from the dangers of the space environment. The cold of space will freeze skin in a short time. The fierce heat of the sun can cause serious burns. The lack of atmosphere can cause gases in the body to expand (扩大) and even burst. With no oxygen to breathe, a human being will die in only a few moments. Radiation from the sun is another risk in space. So is damage from small pieces of rock and objects like meteoroids (陨石). In 1933, an American flyer, Wiley Post, designed one of the first successful devices to protect a pilot at extreme heights. It was a large device that looked like a can surrounded the pilot’s head. Astronauts in the American space agency (NASA) flew the first American space flights in the early 1960s. The clothing was similar to that invented by Wiley Post. Today, astronauts wear very different protective clothing. It lets them move, do useful tasks, and stay outside their spacecraft in comfort and safety for several hours. The spacesuit is called the shuttle extravehicular mobility unit or EMU. It was designed to endure longer and to permit more movement than earlier spacesuits. The EMU has a number of parts that an astronaut can link together by using only one hand, which makes it possible for each astronaut to select the parts that fit correctly. Nowadays, NASA scientists are also considering the kind of spacesuits that would be needed for exploration on the planet Mars. Because of the gravity on Mars, spacesuits may have to be designed to be lighter than suits used in orbit or on the moon. The equipment may also have to protect astronauts from dust carried in the winds on Mars. And, they must be easy to repair and keep clean during a longer flight to and from the red planet. 32. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the dangers of space environment? A. Lack of oxygen. B. Fierce heat from the sun. C. Gases in the body. D. Radiation from the sun. 33. Which of the following statements is true, according to this passage? A. Wiley Post designed the first protective clothing for astronauts. B. Astronauts in earlier spacesuits had difficulty in moving, doing useful tasks and so on. C. EMU has many parts that can be linked together by using two hands. D. Special spacesuits have been used for exploration of the planet Mars. 34. The underlined word “endure” means _______. A. provide B. move C. last D. live 35. The best title of the passage might be ______. A. Space exploration B. Astronauts’ flights C. The Advantages of Spacesuits D. The Development of Spacesuits 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever dreamed of leaving the noisy city behind and setting off on a journey across a vast, totally unexplored land?

Staring at the red scores on my paper, I knew I failed to get the top rank. Low whispers spread around me as the teacher read out everyone’s rankings slowly. Disappointment welled up inside me, and I felt my dream of entering my ideal university gradually run away. I had long been pushing myself hard just to achieve high rankings. I rose early in the morning and stayed up late studying every day, arranging all my time tightly for different school subjects. I once firmly believed that taking first place constantly would prepare me for a better future. This belief once motivated me greatly, yet endless pressure soon tired me out. I often felt eye discomfort and mental tiredness, and the top position always seemed impossible to reach. Feeling low, I left the classroom alone. The air was fresh with the smell of rain. I stopped at a quiet little garden beside the library, which I had never taken time to visit before. An elderly gardener was busy tending flowers and watering plants with great care. Only a handful of flowers were in bloom (开花) among green leaves. I couldn’t help questioning whether all his efforts were worthwhile. Sensing my confusion, the old man smiled and began to chat with me. He told me that every flower has its own flowering time. Some blossom early, while others need more time to grow. As long as they get enough sunshine, water and proper care, they will surely bloom perfectly when the right time comes. Instead of rushing for results, we should learn to wait patiently and focus on steady (稳步的) growth. 注意：(1) 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。 “Not sure when they flower — isn’t it upsetting?” I asked. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day on, I decided to follow his advice — less hurrying, more growing. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 邵阳市二中2026学年高二年级期末考试 英语试题卷 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What will Lisa do tomorrow afternoon?

After all, he did it only because his college, football coach had encouraged him and his teammates to register. But about six months after the sign-up, he did get a call. The now 21-year-old linebacker’s bone marrow matched a patient in Virginia. Mushaw had to decide whether to go all in. It would mean spending a night in the hospital and undergoing general anesthesia, which carries some risk. And he’d likely never know whether his donation worked. “Once they took 17 vials (试管) of blood, I was like, ‘All right this is real. This is going to happen.’” His donation went to a five-month-old girl named Eleanor who was sick with a rare immune-deficiency disease that was diagnosed when she was only three month old. Eleanor had rarely left her house other than to travel to the hospital or the doctor. “Eleanor was going to die without a bone marrow transplant,” her mother, Jessica, told NBC. Still, there was no guarantee of success. Eleanor’s family had hoped that she would have some improvement from the transplant, enough to live a more normal, life. Instead, after a few weeks, the doctors at Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C., came back with shocking news: Eleanor’s condition hadn’t just improved—Mushaw’s bone marrow had cured her. Mushaw didn’t know any of this until months after his donation. In most cases, the donor and recipient remain anonymous to each other. But about six months after the procedure, Eleanor’s parents sent him an e-mail to thank him for saving her life. “When they told me it was a little girl, I got a little choked up,” Mushaw says. But their surprising connection was only beginning. Mushaw asked whether he and Eleanor could FaceTime regularly so he could check on her progress. “It was amazing to watch her and be a part of her life,” he says. Eleanor kept tabs on him, too, by watching his football games on TV. Mushaw often invited her family to drive from Virginia to Connecticut to meet at his games where tiny shouts of “Mike! Mike!” could be heard from the stands as the little girl cheered on her very own hero. “I had waited by that point well over a year to finally give a hug to this guy who saved my daughter’s life,” Jessica says. “We felt like we were on cloud nine all weekend getting to spend time with him and have him be with Eleanor.” In January, Mushaw reunited with Eleanor, this time in Virginia, to celebrate her birthday. It will likely be the first of many celebrations together. “As a parent, it feels really great to watch someone love your kid as much as you do,” Jessica says. We were two complete strangers, and now we’ve become such a big part of each other’s lives.” 24. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Mushaw decided to join the national bone marrow registry on his own. B. Mushaw was unwilling to donate his bone marrow. C. Mushaw at first wondered whether his donation would work. D. Mushaw signed up the bone marrow registry at 21. 25. What does the underlined phrase “kept tabs on” in paragraph 5 mean? A. pay a price to B. pay close attention to C. keep a record of D. keep pace with 26. What can we know about Eleanor from the article? A. Eleanor was often taken out to travel before deceiving the donation. B. Eleanor’s family was certain that she could be cured with the donation. C. Eleanor was excited when watching Mike’s football game. D. Eleanor first saw Mushaw when Mushaw went to Virginia to celebrate her birthday. 27. Which is the best title for the article? A. A Little Life Saved, A Big Friend Made B. A Medical Miracle C. A Lucky Transplant D. Donation Working, Girl Saved 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Mike Mushaw的骨髓与一位患有一种罕见免疫缺陷疾病且只有五个月大的小女孩配对成功。他不仅救了这个小女孩，并与小女孩的一家建立了深厚的友谊。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“And he’d likely never know whether his donation worked.(而且他可能永远也不知道他的捐助是否有效。)”可知，起初Mushaw怀疑他的捐献是否能奏效。故选C。 【25题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第五段““It was amazing to watch her and be a part of her life,” he says.(他说:“看着她，成为她生活的一部分，真是太棒了。”)”和划线词后面的“too, by watching his football games on TV.”Eleanor经常在电视上看他踢足球，可知，Eleanor也密切关注着他。可以猜测kept tabs on为“密切关注”之意。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Mushaw often invited her family to drive from Virginia to Connecticut to meet at his games where tiny shouts of “Mike! Mike!” could be heard from the stands as the little girl cheered on her very own hero.”可知，小女孩为她自己的英雄Mike欢呼时，看台上都能听到。从而推断出，Eleanor看Mike的足球比赛时很兴奋。故选C。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，文章讲述了Mike Mushaw的骨髓与一位患有一种罕见的免疫缺陷疾病且只有五个月大的小女孩配对成功。他不仅救了这个小女孩，并与小女孩的一家建立了深厚的友谊。所以用“A Little Life Saved, A Big Friend Made”(拯救小生命，获得大友谊)作为文章的标题最为合适。故选A。 C Space is where our future is—trips to the Moon, Mars and beyond. Most people would think that aside from comets (彗星) and stars, there was little else out there. But, since our space journey started we have left so much trash there that scientists are now concerned that if we don’t clean it up, we may all be in mortal (致命的) danger. The first piece of space junk was created in 1964, when the American satellite Vanguard 1 stopped operating and lost its connection with the ground center. However, since it kept orbiting around the Earth without any consequences, scientists became increasingly comfortable abandoning things that no longer served any useful purpose in space. It is estimated that there are now over millions of pieces of man-made trash orbiting the Earth at high speed. The junk varies from tiny pieces of paint chipped off rockets to cameras, huge fuel tanks, and even odd items like the million-dollar tool kit that astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper lost during a spacewalk. The major problem with the space trash is that it may hit working satellites and damage traveling spacecraft. Moreover, pieces of junk may collide (碰撞) with each other and break into pieces which fall back to the Earth. To avoid this, scientists have invented several ways of clearing the sky. Ground stations have been built to monitor larger pieces of space trash to prevent them from crashing into working satellites or space shuttles. Future plans include a cooperative effort among many nations to stop littering in space and to clean up the trash already there. 28. What was the first piece of man-made space trash? A. A camera. B. A tool kit. C. A broken satellite. D. A fuel tank. 29. Why were scientists NOT concerned about space trash in the beginning? A. It did not cause any problems. B. It no longer served any useful purpose. C. It was millions of miles away from the Earth. D. It was regarded as similar to comets and stars. 30. What can be learned about space junk? A. It is huge, heavy machines. B. It may cause problems for space shuttles. C. It floats slowly around the Earth. D. It never changes positions. 31. What has been done to the space trash problem? A. Ground stations are built to help store the trash properly in space. B. Many nations have worked together to stop polluting space. C. Larger pieces of space trash are being closely watched. D. Scientists have cleaned up most of the trash. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【分析】本文说明文。文章主要介绍太空垃圾给工作中的卫星、正在飞行的宇宙飞船和其他物体所带来的危险。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句The first piece of space junk was created in 1964, when the American satellite Vanguard I stopped operating and lost its connection with the ground center.可知，第一件太空垃圾是一个美国的卫星。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中However, since it kept orbiting around the Earth without any consequences, scientists became increasingly comfortable abandoning（抛弃） things that no longer served any useful purpose in space.可知，因为它一直围绕地球转，没产生任何麻烦，所以开始放心地在太空抛弃东西。故选A。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段第一句The major problem with the space trash is that it may hit working satellites and damage traveling spacecraft(飞船).可知，太空垃圾主要对太空中工作的卫星和正在飞行的飞船产生巨大的威胁。故B正确。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中Ground stations have been built to monitor larger pieces of space trash to prevent them from crashing into working satellites or space shuttles.可知，较大的太空垃圾碎片被密切的监视。故选C。 【名师点拨】 推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话，也可能是某几句话，所以，推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干中通常含infer,suggest,imply,conclude indicate等标志性词语。 这种题型主要包括细节判断题、态度观点推断题、写作意图推断题、文章出处判断题和猜测想象推断题。比如，第27小题C推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中Ground stations have been built to monitor larger pieces of space trash to prevent them from crashing into working satellites or space shuttles.可知，较大的太空垃圾碎片被密切的监视。故选C。 D When thinking about placing a human being in space, one of the most important questions was how to design special clothing needed to protect a person from the dangers of the space environment. The cold of space will freeze skin in a short time. The fierce heat of the sun can cause serious burns. The lack of atmosphere can cause gases in the body to expand (扩大) and even burst. With no oxygen to breathe, a human being will die in only a few moments. Radiation from the sun is another risk in space. So is damage from small pieces of rock and objects like meteoroids (陨石). In 1933, an American flyer, Wiley Post, designed one of the first successful devices to protect a pilot at extreme heights. It was a large device that looked like a can surrounded the pilot’s head. Astronauts in the American space agency (NASA) flew the first American space flights in the early 1960s. The clothing was similar to that invented by Wiley Post. Today, astronauts wear very different protective clothing. It lets them move, do useful tasks, and stay outside their spacecraft in comfort and safety for several hours. The spacesuit is called the shuttle extravehicular mobility unit or EMU. It was designed to endure longer and to permit more movement than earlier spacesuits. The EMU has a number of parts that an astronaut can link together by using only one hand, which makes it possible for each astronaut to select the parts that fit correctly. Nowadays, NASA scientists are also considering the kind of spacesuits that would be needed for exploration on the planet Mars. Because of the gravity on Mars, spacesuits may have to be designed to be lighter than suits used in orbit or on the moon. The equipment may also have to protect astronauts from dust carried in the winds on Mars. And, they must be easy to repair and keep clean during a longer flight to and from the red planet. 32. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the dangers of space environment? A. Lack of oxygen. B. Fierce heat from the sun. C. Gases in the body. D. Radiation from the sun. 33. Which of the following statements is true, according to this passage? A. Wiley Post designed the first protective clothing for astronauts. B. Astronauts in earlier spacesuits had difficulty in moving, doing useful tasks and so on. C. EMU has many parts that can be linked together by using two hands. D. Special spacesuits have been used for exploration of the planet Mars. 34. The underlined word “endure” means _______. A. provide B. move C. last D. live 35. The best title of the passage might be ______. A. Space exploration B. Astronauts’ flights C. The Advantages of Spacesuits D. The Development of Spacesuits 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了太空服的发展历程。人类进入太空所要面对的重要问题之一便是怎样设计出能够抵挡太空恶劣环境的防护服。早期的太空服给宇航员的行动和执行任务带来不便，现在的太空服已经能够让宇航员行动自如。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据首段中“The cold of space will freeze skin in a short time. The fierce heat of the sun can cause serious burns. The lack of atmosphere can cause gases in the body to expand (扩大) and even burst. With no oxygen to breathe, a human being will die in only a few moments. Radiation from the sun is another risk in space. (太空的寒冷会在短时间内冻住皮肤。太阳的强烈热量会造成严重灼伤。没有大气会导致体内气体膨胀甚至爆裂。没有可供呼吸的氧气，人类几分钟内就会死亡。来自太阳的辐射是太空的另一个风险。)”可知，文中提到的危险包括寒冷、缺氧、太阳的高温、太阳辐射，体内气体本身不是危险，是无大气导致体内气体膨胀才属于危险。故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“It was a large device that looked like a can surrounded the pilot’s head. Astronauts in the American space agency (NASA) flew the first American space flights in the early 1960s. The clothing was similar to that invented by Wiley Post.(这是一个巨大的装置，看起来像一个罐头包围着飞行员的头部。20世纪60年代初，美国航天局（NASA）的宇航员进行了美国第一次太空飞行。这种衣服和威利·波斯特发明的衣服很相似。)”可知，首次太空之旅所用的防护服与Wiley Post发明的装置相似，说明不是Wiley Post发明了第一代防护服，排除A；根据第四段“The EMU has a number of parts that an astronaut can link together by using only one hand(EMU有很多部件，宇航员只用一只手就能把它们连接起来)”可知，宇航员用一只手就可以很方便地操作EMU，排除C；根据第五段“Nowadays, NASA scientists are also considering the kind of spacesuits that would be needed for exploration on the planet Mars(如今，美国宇航局的科学家们也在考虑探索火星所需的宇航服)”可知，特制的太空服尚未用于火星探索，排除D；根据第三段“Today, astronauts wear very different protective clothing. It lets them move, do useful tasks, and stay outside their spacecraft in comfort and safety for several hours.(今天，宇航员穿着非常不同的防护服。它可以让他们移动，做一些有用的任务，并在他们的航天器外舒适安全地呆上几个小时。)”可知，以前的太空服不能让宇航员行动自如，也不便于执行任务，而现在的太空服能够做到这些，故选B。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“It was designed to endure longer and to permit more movement than earlier spacesuits.(它被设计成比早期的宇航服endure更长时间和允许更多的运动。)”以及上文“Today, astronauts wear very different protective clothing. It lets them move, do useful tasks, and stay outside their spacecraft in comfort and safety for several hours.(今天，宇航员穿着非常不同的防护服。它可以让他们移动，做一些有用的任务，并在他们的航天器外舒适安全地呆上几个小时。)”可知，endure longer和permit more movement是并列关系，两者都是与以前的太空服相比，EMU具有的优势，与前文现代宇航服能让宇航员在舱外安全待几个小时对应，即EMU的设计出发点是更持久、行动更自如，endure意为“持续”，与last同义。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。文章首段“one of the most important questions was how to design special clothing(最重要的问题之一是如何设计特殊的服装)”就提到了怎样设计特殊的太空服这一问题，第二段提到了早期的太空服，第三段和第四段介绍了现代的太空服，第五段对未来的太空服提出了设想，由此可知，文章主要讲的是太空服的发展，故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever dreamed of leaving the noisy city behind and setting off on a journey across a vast, totally unexplored land?

Staring at the red scores on my paper, I knew I failed to get the top rank. Low whispers spread around me as the teacher read out everyone’s rankings slowly. Disappointment welled up inside me, and I felt my dream of entering my ideal university gradually run away. I had long been pushing myself hard just to achieve high rankings. I rose early in the morning and stayed up late studying every day, arranging all my time tightly for different school subjects. I once firmly believed that taking first place constantly would prepare me for a better future. This belief once motivated me greatly, yet endless pressure soon tired me out. I often felt eye discomfort and mental tiredness, and the top position always seemed impossible to reach. Feeling low, I left the classroom alone. The air was fresh with the smell of rain. I stopped at a quiet little garden beside the library, which I had never taken time to visit before. An elderly gardener was busy tending flowers and watering plants with great care. Only a handful of flowers were in bloom (开花) among green leaves. I couldn’t help questioning whether all his efforts were worthwhile. Sensing my confusion, the old man smiled and began to chat with me. He told me that every flower has its own flowering time. Some blossom early, while others need more time to grow. As long as they get enough sunshine, water and proper care, they will surely bloom perfectly when the right time comes. Instead of rushing for results, we should learn to wait patiently and focus on steady (稳步的) growth. 注意：(1) 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。 “Not sure when they flower — isn’t it upsetting?” I asked. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day on, I decided to follow his advice — less hurrying, more growing. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： “Not sure when they flower — isn’t it upsetting?” I asked. “It makes every effort meaningful,” he replied calmly. “Flowers develop bit by bit every single day. Blooming is just a brief moment, while the whole process of growing matters far more.” His words sank deep into my heart. I recalled my blue mood over poor grades and those sleepless nights, realizing I was too eager to succeed and cared too much about final results so that I ignored steady progress and the value of effort itself. I thanked the gardener sincerely and left the garden with a peaceful and relaxed mind. From that day on, I decided to follow his advice — less hurrying, more growing. I adjusted my study state and made solid progress step by step instead of blindly chasing high rankings. When graduation finally arrived, I visited the garden again and saw countless flowers in full bloom. Soon afterwards, I received the admission notice from my target university. I realized I needn’t rush for success. As long as I keep moving forward steadily, I will surely shine in my own proper time. 【解析】 【导语】本文以开花时间为线索展开，讲述了“我”因考试排名不理想而失落，觉得自己与理想大学渐行渐远。偶遇到的园丁告诉“我”：每种花都有自己的开花时间，成长的过程比短暂的结果更重要。“我”深受启发，不再急于求成，而是专注于稳步进步。最终，“我”被目标大学录取，还领悟到要按自己的节奏绽放。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句可知，第一段可描写“我”反思出自己在学习上存在急于求成的问题，变得平和轻松，向园丁道谢。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写“我”调整自己的学习状态，稳步前进，最终被目标大学录取，还深深感悟到要按自己的节奏绽放。 2. 续写线索：被园丁的话触动——反思学习——心情变好——遵从园丁的建议——调整学习状态——成就与感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①回复：reply/respond/answer ②忽视：ignore/neglect/disregard 情绪类 ①急切的：eager/anxious ②真诚地：sincerely/genuinely/earnestly 【点睛】[高分句型1] When graduation finally arrived, I visited the garden again and saw countless flowers in full bloom.
