It started when we got my grandmother an iPhone. Technology had never been her thing; we had handwritten directions throughout her house to help her use electronic devices. I could sense her hesitation with the smart phone, and I had my own doubts when the family wanted to get her set up with one.
It took a little time, but she caught on quite quickly. Before I knew it, I was receiving text messages from her! I loved being able to communicate with my grandmother more frequently. We set up a group text for her so she could text all of us at once. Texting proved to be convenient, and my grandmother liked how connected it kept her with the family.
I have found the most difficult thing about texting with people of a certain age is the use of abbreviations (缩写). One evening, my grandmother created her own shorthand. She sent a text that said “gnstgbyaily”. She was answered with many question marks. Then my aunt replied, “Think about it. Think about what Nanny always says before we go to bed.” That worked. It was the magic light bulb that triggered our childhood memories. She would always say, “Good night, sleep tight, God bless you, and I love you.” “Gnstgbyaily” became a ritual (仪式).
Then, one night, I got a new phone. When I typed in “gnstgbyaily”, my phone auto-corrected it before I realized it, and I sent the words “Gangsta Billy”. I quickly began typing to correct this silliness when an enormous response of laughing emojis flooded my screen. It was quite fun and became our new family favorite. The first time my husband saw “Gangsta Billy” on my phone, he inquired, “Who is this Gangsta Billy your grandmother is talking about?” I couldn’t stop laughing and eventually told him the origin of our newest family member.
4. What can we know about Grandmother from paragraph 1?
A. She was digitally competent. B. She was technically challenged.
C. She asked others to write instructions. D. She preferred handwritten messages.
5. What was the family members’ initial reaction to “gnstgbyaily”?
A. Confused. B. Excited. C. Disappointed. D. Uninterested.
6. Which best illustrates “Gangsta Billy” in the last paragraph?
A. A sign of technological failure. B. A symbol of the generation gap.
C. A source of family amusement. D. A cause of constant misunderstanding.
7. What message does the story mainly want to deliver?
A. Technology strengthens family bonds. B. Abbreviations are hard to understand.
C. Elders should welcome modern devices. D. Online chatting leads to frequent errors.
C
For decades, insect taxonomist (分类学者) Art Borkent has devoted himself to studying biting midges (a kind of small flying insect), identifying and naming more than 300 species. Yet what troubles him is not the lack of findings, but the fact that his discipline is gradually declining. Despite millions of species still waiting to be identified, few scientists are stepping in to continue this work.
When it comes to midges, Borkent’s passion is unmistakable. These tiny insects, some of which locate their hosts by sensing CO₂, reveal a world far richer than most people imagine. Yet it is precisely this richness that makes taxonomy — the science of naming and classifying life — so essential. Without it, much of biodiversity would remain unknown.
Not only are countless species yet to be discovered, but many may disappear before they are even recorded. Scientists estimate that the 2.1 million species identified so far may represent only a small part of life on Earth. As environmental pressures grow, the urgency of documenting biodiversity becomes ever greater.
However, the field itself is in decline. As older experts retire, few young researchers replace them. Scanty academic positions and a lack of public attention have all contributed to this trend. While taxonomy supports areas ranging from conservation to controlling illegal wildlife trade, it is often ignored in modern biology education.
Adding to the challenge is the rise of DNA barcoding, a technique that identifies species using genetic data. Despite its quick processing, it provides only a small amount of information. It is through traditional observation — studying how species live, interact, and adapt — that a fuller understanding can be achieved.
What Borkent fears, therefore, is not only the loss of species, but also the disappearance of those who study them. Unless renewed attention is given to taxonomy, both knowledge and the natural world it seeks to describe may disappear together.
8. Why does the author mention Borkent in paragraph 1?
A. To explain his research methods.
B. To stress his achievements in taxonomy.
C. To prove the diversity of insects.
D. To reveal the worrying future of taxonomy.
9. What does the underlined word “Scanty” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Limited. B. Valuable. C. Stable. D. Similar.
10. Which of the following can best describe DNA barcoding?
A. Accurate and detailed. B. Efficient but incomplete.
C. Complex but unreliable. D. Traditional and essential.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Hidden World of Insects
B. A Scientist’s Lifelong Passion
C. The Last Guardians of Taxonomy
D. A Technology Reshaping Biodiversity
D
For people who gradually lose their central vision to age-related macular degeneration (黄斑退化), everyday tasks like reading or recognizing signs can become nearly impossible. Now, a new device developed at Stanford Medicine is offering fresh hope. Only 2 millimeters wide, a tiny wireless chip placed at the back of the eye — paired with a special set of smart glasses — has helped many patients see again. So remarkable is the progress that 27 out of 32 patients in a recent clinical trial regained the ability to read within a year.
The system, called PRIMA, works by sending visual information in a new way. When a person looks at something, a small camera on the glasses takes in the image. Instead of using damaged cells in the eye, the glasses send the picture as a beam of invisible light to the chip. The chip then turns that light into electrical signals and passes them to healthy nerve cells that still remain in the eye. In this way, the device takes over the job once done by the eye’s lost light-sensing cells.
Placed under the retina (视网膜) and powered entirely by light, the chip requires no wires or external batteries. It lets users combine their natural vision with new central vision, which has never been seen in other devices.
Participants in the study — mostly people over 60 — began training with the glasses about a month after surgery. Some noticed improvement almost immediately, while others gained clearer vision over months of practice. On average, patients showed clear improvement and some could even read food labels or subway signs again.
Although the device currently provides only black-and-white vision, researchers are already developing software and designing chips for sharper sight. Future versions may help patients recognize faces — one of their top wishes.
Promising though it is, PRIMA remains a work in progress. Yet it offers something long thought impossible: a realistic path toward restoring meaningful vision, to those who have lost it almost completely.
12. What is PRIMA designed to do?
A. Cure macular-related diseases.
B. Enable those with vision loss to see.
C. Restore damaged cells in the eye.
D. Ease the discomfort caused by tiredness.
13. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The role of smart glasses. B. The components in the system.
C. The working principle of the system. D. The conduction of electrical signals.
14. What sets PRIMA apart from earlier devices?
A. Its vision-integration. B. Its wireless structure.
C. Its light-powered design. D. Its battery-free sensor.
15. What is the researchers’ next move?
A. To add more colors to the glasses.
B. To do more human testing of PRIMA.
C. To restore the full vision of the blind.
D. To upgrade the device for face recognition.

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。
When people talk about keeping their minds sharp, they often mention reading or solving puzzles. ____16____ Yet for me, an unusual hobby — moth-watching (观蛾) — has become both a passion and a quiet form of mental training.
It all began when I learned about a study showing that bird-watching can strengthen the brain. Experts who can tell similar birds apart show greater activity in brain areas related to attention and memory. ____17____
Unlike birds, moths are far more difficult to identify. In the UK alone, there are thousands of species, many of which look almost the same. On summer nights, I set up a small light trap in my garden. ____18____ I carefully examine them, comparing wing shapes and tiny markings, before releasing them back into the wild.
At first, the task felt challenging. Some moths differ only in the curve of a wing or a faint line of color. Others change appearance depending on their age. ____19____ The process requires patience, focus, and willingness to learn from mistakes.
Many people think moths are dull or harmful, but this is far from the truth. Some are brightly colored, and most play important roles in nature by pollinating (传粉) plants and supporting other wildlife.
____20____ It sharpens my mind, calms my thoughts, and reminds me that even the smallest creatures can open the door to a deeper understanding of the world.
A. Few would think of watching small creatures.
B. For me, moth-watching is more than a hobby.
C. Moths play an essential role in the natural world.
D. I had always been interested in observing large creatures.
E. But over time, I began to notice small details I had once ignored.
F. By morning, it is filled with moths of different sizes and patterns.
G. This made me wonder: if birds can train the mind, what about moths?

My mom’s hip joint (髋关节) replacement surgery originally appeared to be a ____23____. So, she was determined to stay for the minimum period in hospital. We talked the doctor into ____24____ her early. That turned out to be a mistake. Actually, she still needed a lot of round-the-clock care. I had to ____25____ her non-stop.
Because of my obligation (义务), my husband and my son felt ____26____. They complained I was never home. I kept ____27____ I could do all of this. I didn’t want to admit I couldn’t be all things to everyone. That was another mistake.
Because Mom had come home early, she did not ____28____ properly. We had to return to the hospital. I didn’t know if I could ____29____ everything again. Still, the _____30_____ of asking for help never occurred to me. I was _____31_____ as days went by.
Finally, I had a complete breakdown. I couldn’t do it _____32_____ anymore. I needed help. I reached out to my friends. What _____33_____ me was that they loved the opportunity to help. I even ended up going on my planned family vacation for a much-needed _____34_____ — leaving Mom’s care in the capable hands of professional caregivers.

Mugong Langqiao, or wooden arch covered bridges, stand as elegant symbols of human ingenuity (创造力). ____36____ (construct) without any metal nails or rivets (铆钉), these architectural wonders depend entirely on delicate mortise-and-tenon joints, ____37____ (graceful) stretching across rivers for centuries like rainbows.
In China’s Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, 843 such bridges still exist. Across the entire country, the total rises to 2,193. Langqiao were once the heartbeat of communities. They didn’t just connect villages — they served as shelters from rain, information hubs, busy marketplaces, ____38____ even places of worship. As time goes by, these ancient bridges have grown inseparable from the cultural identity of local ____39____ (resident).
The origins of these remarkable structures date back to the Tang Dynasty. With urbanization ____40____ (sweep) across the country, the craftsmanship was fading away before conservation measures were fully launched in the early 2000s. Marking a new chapter in cultural preservation was the 2024 UNESCO recognition, ____41____ promoted China’s ancient wooden arch bridge craftsmanship from the urgent safeguarding list to the representative heritage list.
While covered bridges exist around the world, such wooden arch bridges are unique to China. The core technology ____42____ (lie) in a system that ensures components of the bridge arch interlock tightly. That has allowed Chinese craftsmen ____43____ (create) the world’s largest timber-only arched structures. UNESCO experts praise this heritage for reflecting the ____44____ (harmony) coexistence between humans and nature.
Today, these ancient engineering wonders have become favorite subjects for photographers and _____45_____ growing draw for cultural tourists. Each bridge tells a silent story of resilience, craftsmanship, and living heritage.

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。
In the dusty corner of Grandpa’s attic (阁楼), I came across an old, worn violin case. Puzzled, I opened it, only to find a violin that looked like a piece of abandoned firewood. Its strings were broken, and its wooden body was covered with deep scratches (划痕). To me, a teenager who had been struggling with modern violin pieces, this instrument surely carried a hidden piece of history within it. Driven by curiosity, I carefully carried it down the narrow stairs and placed it on the living room table.
“Why do you keep this junk, Grandpa? It is broken,” I asked, pointing to the case. Grandpa stopped, his eyes softening as he took the violin. He didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he gently wiped the dust off the surface with his trembling hands, as if he were looking at a long-lost friend. “This ‘junk’, as you call it, was my only companion during the years when I worked on the remote farm,” he began, his voice filled with emotion. “Music was a bridge that carried me from the exhaustion of labor to a world of peace. It taught me that as long as you have music in your heart, no hardship can break you.”
Looking at the rough calluses (茧子) on Grandpa’s fingers, I felt a sudden pang of guilt. I had always complained about my violin lessons being boring and difficult, never knowing that for Grandpa, the chance to play music was a hard-won luxury. That night, I made a decision. I would use my savings from my part-time job to have the violin restored.
The next day, I took the instrument to Mr. Miller, a master violin maker known for his “magic touch”. He warned me that the restoration would be a long process. Every weekend, I visited his workshop, watching him carefully glue the cracks and restring the instrument with precision. Meanwhile, I practiced the piece Grandpa loved most, The Moon Over the Fountain, on my own violin every night, preparing for the upcoming school talent show, and made up my mind to give Grandpa a surprise.
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。
With Mr. Miller’s help, the old violin finally regained its former shine.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The day of the school talent show arrived as scheduled.

It started when we got my grandmother an iPhone. Technology had never been her thing; we had handwritten directions throughout her house to help her use electronic devices. I could sense her hesitation with the smart phone, and I had my own doubts when the family wanted to get her set up with one.
It took a little time, but she caught on quite quickly. Before I knew it, I was receiving text messages from her! I loved being able to communicate with my grandmother more frequently. We set up a group text for her so she could text all of us at once. Texting proved to be convenient, and my grandmother liked how connected it kept her with the family.
I have found the most difficult thing about texting with people of a certain age is the use of abbreviations (缩写). One evening, my grandmother created her own shorthand. She sent a text that said “gnstgbyaily”. She was answered with many question marks. Then my aunt replied, “Think about it. Think about what Nanny always says before we go to bed.” That worked. It was the magic light bulb that triggered our childhood memories. She would always say, “Good night, sleep tight, God bless you, and I love you.” “Gnstgbyaily” became a ritual (仪式).
Then, one night, I got a new phone. When I typed in “gnstgbyaily”, my phone auto-corrected it before I realized it, and I sent the words “Gangsta Billy”. I quickly began typing to correct this silliness when an enormous response of laughing emojis flooded my screen. It was quite fun and became our new family favorite. The first time my husband saw “Gangsta Billy” on my phone, he inquired, “Who is this Gangsta Billy your grandmother is talking about?” I couldn’t stop laughing and eventually told him the origin of our newest family member.
4. What can we know about Grandmother from paragraph 1?
A. She was digitally competent. B. She was technically challenged.
C. She asked others to write instructions. D. She preferred handwritten messages.
5. What was the family members’ initial reaction to “gnstgbyaily”?
A. Confused. B. Excited. C. Disappointed. D. Uninterested.
6. Which best illustrates “Gangsta Billy” in the last paragraph?
A. A sign of technological failure. B. A symbol of the generation gap.
C. A source of family amusement. D. A cause of constant misunderstanding.
7. What message does the story mainly want to deliver?
A. Technology strengthens family bonds. B. Abbreviations are hard to understand.
C. Elders should welcome modern devices. D. Online chatting leads to frequent errors.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. A

For decades, insect taxonomist (分类学者) Art Borkent has devoted himself to studying biting midges (a kind of small flying insect), identifying and naming more than 300 species. Yet what troubles him is not the lack of findings, but the fact that his discipline is gradually declining. Despite millions of species still waiting to be identified, few scientists are stepping in to continue this work.
When it comes to midges, Borkent’s passion is unmistakable. These tiny insects, some of which locate their hosts by sensing CO₂, reveal a world far richer than most people imagine. Yet it is precisely this richness that makes taxonomy — the science of naming and classifying life — so essential. Without it, much of biodiversity would remain unknown.
Not only are countless species yet to be discovered, but many may disappear before they are even recorded. Scientists estimate that the 2.1 million species identified so far may represent only a small part of life on Earth. As environmental pressures grow, the urgency of documenting biodiversity becomes ever greater.
However, the field itself is in decline. As older experts retire, few young researchers replace them. Scanty academic positions and a lack of public attention have all contributed to this trend. While taxonomy supports areas ranging from conservation to controlling illegal wildlife trade, it is often ignored in modern biology education.
Adding to the challenge is the rise of DNA barcoding, a technique that identifies species using genetic data. Despite its quick processing, it provides only a small amount of information. It is through traditional observation — studying how species live, interact, and adapt — that a fuller understanding can be achieved.
What Borkent fears, therefore, is not only the loss of species, but also the disappearance of those who study them. Unless renewed attention is given to taxonomy, both knowledge and the natural world it seeks to describe may disappear together.
8. Why does the author mention Borkent in paragraph 1?
A. To explain his research methods.
B. To stress his achievements in taxonomy.
C. To prove the diversity of insects.
D. To reveal the worrying future of taxonomy.
9. What does the underlined word “Scanty” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Limited. B. Valuable. C. Stable. D. Similar.
10. Which of the following can best describe DNA barcoding?
A. Accurate and detailed. B. Efficient but incomplete.
C. Complex but unreliable. D. Traditional and essential.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Hidden World of Insects
B. A Scientist’s Lifelong Passion
C. The Last Guardians of Taxonomy
D. A Technology Reshaping Biodiversity
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】主要讲述分类学人才断层、学科日渐衰落的现状,对比DNA条形码技术的局限,呼吁重视传统生物分类研究。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“For decades, insect taxonomist (分类学者) Art Borkent has devoted himself to studying biting midges (a kind of small flying insect), identifying and naming more than 300 species. Yet what troubles him is not the lack of findings, but the fact that his discipline is gradually declining. Despite millions of species still waiting to be identified, few scientists are stepping in to continue this work.(数十年来,昆虫分类学者亚特・博肯特一直投身于研究蠓(一种小型飞虫),鉴定并命名了三百多个物种。然而困扰他的并非研究成果匮乏,而是他所在的学科正逐渐衰落。尽管仍有数百万物种有待鉴定,却鲜有科学家投身进来接续这项工作。)”可知,作者以博肯特为例,引出分类学前景堪忧的严峻现状。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“However, the field itself is in decline. As older experts retire, few young researchers replace them. Scanty academic positions and a lack of public attention have all contributed to this trend.(然而该领域本身正走向衰落。随着老一辈专家退休,几乎没有年轻研究人员接替他们。Scanty学术岗位以及公众关注度不足,都促成了这一趋势。)”可知,分类学相关学术岗位数量有限、供给不足,因此,画线单词scanty意为“有限、稀少”,与limited意义相近。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Adding to the challenge is the rise of DNA barcoding, a technique that identifies species using genetic data. Despite its quick processing, it provides only a small amount of information.(雪上加霜的是DNA条形码技术的兴起,这是一种利用基因数据鉴定物种的技术。尽管该技术处理速度快,但它仅能提供少量信息。)”可知,这项技术高效但信息片面、不够完整。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是尾段中的“What Borkent fears, therefore, is not only the loss of species, but also the disappearance of those who study them. Unless renewed attention is given to taxonomy, both knowledge and the natural world it seeks to describe may disappear together.(因此,博肯特担忧的不仅是物种消失,还有研究物种的人不断流失。除非分类学重新获得重视,否则相关知识以及它力图描绘的自然界都可能一同消逝。)”可知,文章围绕传统生物分类学后继无人、濒临衰落展开,强调坚守该领域的研究者是生物多样性研究最后的守护者,所以“分类学最后的守护者”最能概括全文核心,适合作为最佳标题。

For people who gradually lose their central vision to age-related macular degeneration (黄斑退化), everyday tasks like reading or recognizing signs can become nearly impossible. Now, a new device developed at Stanford Medicine is offering fresh hope. Only 2 millimeters wide, a tiny wireless chip placed at the back of the eye — paired with a special set of smart glasses — has helped many patients see again. So remarkable is the progress that 27 out of 32 patients in a recent clinical trial regained the ability to read within a year.
The system, called PRIMA, works by sending visual information in a new way. When a person looks at something, a small camera on the glasses takes in the image. Instead of using damaged cells in the eye, the glasses send the picture as a beam of invisible light to the chip. The chip then turns that light into electrical signals and passes them to healthy nerve cells that still remain in the eye. In this way, the device takes over the job once done by the eye’s lost light-sensing cells.
Placed under the retina (视网膜) and powered entirely by light, the chip requires no wires or external batteries. It lets users combine their natural vision with new central vision, which has never been seen in other devices.
Participants in the study — mostly people over 60 — began training with the glasses about a month after surgery. Some noticed improvement almost immediately, while others gained clearer vision over months of practice. On average, patients showed clear improvement and some could even read food labels or subway signs again.
Although the device currently provides only black-and-white vision, researchers are already developing software and designing chips for sharper sight. Future versions may help patients recognize faces — one of their top wishes.
Promising though it is, PRIMA remains a work in progress. Yet it offers something long thought impossible: a realistic path toward restoring meaningful vision, to those who have lost it almost completely.
12. What is PRIMA designed to do?
A. Cure macular-related diseases.
B. Enable those with vision loss to see.
C. Restore damaged cells in the eye.
D. Ease the discomfort caused by tiredness.
13. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The role of smart glasses. B. The components in the system.
C. The working principle of the system. D. The conduction of electrical signals.
14. What sets PRIMA apart from earlier devices?
A. Its vision-integration. B. Its wireless structure.
C. Its light-powered design. D. Its battery-free sensor.
15. What is the researchers’ next move?
A. To add more colors to the glasses.
B. To do more human testing of PRIMA.
C. To restore the full vision of the blind.
D. To upgrade the device for face recognition.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】

When people talk about keeping their minds sharp, they often mention reading or solving puzzles. ____16____ Yet for me, an unusual hobby — moth-watching (观蛾) — has become both a passion and a quiet form of mental training.
It all began when I learned about a study showing that bird-watching can strengthen the brain. Experts who can tell similar birds apart show greater activity in brain areas related to attention and memory. ____17____
Unlike birds, moths are far more difficult to identify. In the UK alone, there are thousands of species, many of which look almost the same. On summer nights, I set up a small light trap in my garden. ____18____ I carefully examine them, comparing wing shapes and tiny markings, before releasing them back into the wild.
At first, the task felt challenging. Some moths differ only in the curve of a wing or a faint line of color. Others change appearance depending on their age. ____19____ The process requires patience, focus, and willingness to learn from mistakes.
Many people think moths are dull or harmful, but this is far from the truth. Some are brightly colored, and most play important roles in nature by pollinating (传粉) plants and supporting other wildlife.
____20____ It sharpens my mind, calms my thoughts, and reminds me that even the smallest creatures can open the door to a deeper understanding of the world.
A. Few would think of watching small creatures.
B. For me, moth-watching is more than a hobby.
C. Moths play an essential role in the natural world.
D. I had always been interested in observing large creatures.
E. But over time, I began to notice small details I had once ignored.
F. By morning, it is filled with moths of different sizes and patterns.
G. This made me wonder: if birds can train the mind, what about moths?

【解析】
【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了木拱廊桥纯靠榫卯搭建,是中国独有古建技艺。其曾面临失传,2024 年入选非遗名录,承载地域文化,如今深受游客与摄影爱好者喜爱。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这些建筑奇迹完全不使用金属钉或铆钉,而是依靠精巧的榫卯结构,如彩虹般优雅地横跨河流数个世纪。分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词作状语,句子主语 these architectural wonders(这些建筑奇观)与动词 construct(建造)之间是被动关系,即“桥梁被建造”,因此用过去分词作状语,句首首字母大写。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:这些建筑奇迹完全不使用金属钉或铆钉,而是依靠精巧的榫卯结构,如彩虹般优雅地横跨河流数个世纪。空格修饰动词 stretching(横跨、延伸),修饰动词需要用副词;graceful的副词形式为gracefully,意为“优雅地”。
【38题详解】
考查连词。句意:它们不仅连接村庄,还充当避雨之所、信息中心、繁忙的集市,甚至成为宗教信仰场所。根据句意可知,空格前后是廊桥的多个功能:避雨场所、信息中心、集市、甚至祭祀场所,是并列的名词短语,因此用并列连词and连接。
【39题详解】
考查名词复数形式。句意:随着时间推移,这些古老的桥梁已与当地居民的文化身份密不可分。resident(居民)是可数名词,此处指当地的居民群体,为复数概念,因此使用复数形式residents。
【40题详解】
考查with复合结构。句意:随着城市化进程在全国蔓延,传统工艺在2000年代初全面启动保护措施之前逐渐式微。分析句子可知,此处为“with + 宾语 + 宾补”的with复合结构,宾语 urbanization(城市化)与动词 sweep(席卷)是主动关系,因此用现在分词 sweeping作宾补。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:2024年,联合国教科文组织将其列入代表遗产名录,标志着文化遗产保护进入新阶段,使中国的古代木拱桥技艺从紧急保护名录升入代表性遗产名录。分析句子可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是前面整句话的内容(2024 年联合国教科文组织的认证),关系词在从句中作主语,非限制性定语从句不能用that,因此填 which。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:其核心技术在于确保桥拱各构件紧密联锁的系统。句子陈述客观事实,用一般现在时;主语The core technology(核心技术)是单数第三人称,因此谓语动词lie用第三人称单数形式 lies,lie in意为“在于”。
【43题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:这使得中国工匠创造了世界上最大的全木拱形结构。此处为allow sb. to do sth. 是固定搭配,意为“允许某人做某事”,因此填不定式to create。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:联合国教科文组织专家称赞这一文化遗产体现了人与自然和谐共处的美好景象。空格后是名词 coexistence(共存),需要用形容词对其进行修饰;harmony的形容词形式是harmonious,意为“和谐的”,harmonious coexistence 即“和谐共存”。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:如今,这些古老的工程奇观已成为摄影爱好者的热门题材,也吸引了越来越多的文化旅游者前来探访。空格后的 draw在此处是可数名词,意为“有吸引力的事物”,表示泛指“一个日益增长的吸引点”;growing 以辅音音素开头,因此用不定冠词 a。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
In the dusty corner of Grandpa’s attic (阁楼), I came across an old, worn violin case. Puzzled, I opened it, only to find a violin that looked like a piece of abandoned firewood. Its strings were broken, and its wooden body was covered with deep scratches (划痕). To me, a teenager who had been struggling with modern violin pieces, this instrument surely carried a hidden piece of history within it. Driven by curiosity, I carefully carried it down the narrow stairs and placed it on the living room table.
“Why do you keep this junk, Grandpa? It is broken,” I asked, pointing to the case. Grandpa stopped, his eyes softening as he took the violin. He didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he gently wiped the dust off the surface with his trembling hands, as if he were looking at a long-lost friend. “This ‘junk’, as you call it, was my only companion during the years when I worked on the remote farm,” he began, his voice filled with emotion. “Music was a bridge that carried me from the exhaustion of labor to a world of peace. It taught me that as long as you have music in your heart, no hardship can break you.”
Looking at the rough calluses (茧子) on Grandpa’s fingers, I felt a sudden pang of guilt. I had always complained about my violin lessons being boring and difficult, never knowing that for Grandpa, the chance to play music was a hard-won luxury. That night, I made a decision. I would use my savings from my part-time job to have the violin restored.
The next day, I took the instrument to Mr. Miller, a master violin maker known for his “magic touch”. He warned me that the restoration would be a long process. Every weekend, I visited his workshop, watching him carefully glue the cracks and restring the instrument with precision. Meanwhile, I practiced the piece Grandpa loved most, The Moon Over the Fountain, on my own violin every night, preparing for the upcoming school talent show, and made up my mind to give Grandpa a surprise.
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。
With Mr. Miller’s help, the old violin finally regained its former shine.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The day of the school talent show arrived as scheduled.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
With Mr. Miller’s help, the old violin finally regained its former shine. Its wooden surface shone warmly, and the new strings produced clear and soft notes. Holding the violin in my arms, I felt a unique flood of warmth. It was no longer a worn-out piece of wood, but a precious treasure bearing Grandpa’s memories. Then I hurried home to present it to Grandpa. His eyes lit up with surprise and joy when he saw the renewed violin. He touched it gently, tears welling up in his eyes. When I told him that I decided to give my performance with his violin at the talent show, Grandpa first felt surprised, and then nodded proudly.
The day of the school talent show arrived as scheduled. Stepping onto the stage with the violin, I took a deep breath and began to play The Moon Over the Fountain. Seated in the front row, Grandpa wore a soft, tender smile, his eyes fixed gently on me. The music flowed through the hall, carrying Grandpa’s hard-won hope and my new understanding of music. When the last note faded, thunderous applause erupted. At that heartfelt moment, I came to realize that music is far more than mere notes and melodies — it is an enduring spiritual strength that helps us.
