A pair of best friends from Texas are proving that adventure doesn’t have an age limit — even when you’re 81.
Ellie Hamby, a photographer, and Sandy Hazelip, a physician, toured the world in 80 days, adventuring from the beaches of Bali to the deserts of Egypt.
Their first stop was Antarctica. “The beauty of the Antarctic is just unbelievable,” Hamby recalled. Since then, the pair have visited 18 countries across all seven continents.
And despite the challenges international travel presents, the best friends say they finished their trip without any arguments.
“We’re both independent, very stubborn. But we seem to allow each other to give space,” said Hamby. “We just understand each other and we know this is a good thing we’re doing and we kind of respect each other’s feelings.”
For Hamby, the most interesting aspect of the trip was the people they met along the way.
“We love all the sights that we saw, but the things that we remember the most are the people that we met,” she said. “We met some of the most wonderful, kindest, friendliest people in the world. We just have friends now all over the world that we love dearly.”
And they shared an important piece of advice for any travelers worried about the language barrier on their own adventures.
“You know, people ask us often about the language, how we manage it,” said Hamby. “We say with Sandy and Ellie, there’s one language and that’s a smile. And we found that worked wonders because we were often aware that there was not English spoken. But a smile covers all languages.”
4. Why did they finish the trip without arguments?
A. They had different personalities.
B. They prepared presents for each other.
C. They understood and respected each other.
D. They allowed each other to voice their ideas.
5. What part of the trip impressed Hamby most?
A. The beautiful sights. B. The wonderful people.
C. The interesting activities. D. The cultural experiences.
6. What did Hamby suggest travelers do with the language barrier?
A. Rely on the smile. B. Be more adventurous.
C. Hear English spoken more. D. Learn more languages.
7. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Language Struggles: Testing Friendship
B. Travel Troubles: Friendship Tested Abroad
C. Talking Struggles: Adventures Lost in Translation
D. Limitless Adventure: Two Friends Break Age Barriers

Ecover is calling for a change in our laundry (洗衣服) habits after research found people felt under societal pressure to wash their clothes more often, and were unaware that this could damage the environment. The brand, in partnership with Falmouth University, is publishing a report this week into the impact of laundry on the environment. The researchers found that 18% of the 2,000 Britons interviewed for the report believed — wrongly — that washing less frequently would not affect the planet. One in 10 felt pressure to do the laundry more often.
The report also found that 75% of people in recent studies mentioned fear of judgment from others for wearing the same clothes multiple days in a row. Model and environmental activist Lily Cole, who will chair a panel discussion on the findings in London this week, said she had experienced this. “The attitude has changed in recent years, but I was in the sidebar of shame a few times for wearing the same look on the red carpet,” she said.
Figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed the number of wash loads in the UK increased by 9.6% from 6.2 bn to 6.8 bn between 2005 and 2014. It is still increasing year by year. The global detergent (洗涤剂) market size was valued at USD 119.34 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2024 to 2030. Pollution from detergent causes serious risks to natural ecosystems. Changes to the materials used to make modern clothes have worsened the problem — washing clothes made from man-made fabrics accounts for about 8% of the microplastics released into our water.
Dr. Cui Su, from the school of communication, Falmouth University, who worked on the report said, “For decades, our relationship with laundry has been shaped by powerful cultural forces and advertising that have conditioned us to believe that ‘perfectly clean’ is the only acceptable standard. From the smell of freshly washed clothes to the freshness of fabrics, cleanliness has been presented not just as a necessity, but as a reflection of success.”
8. What is the main concern of Ecover’s research on laundry habits?
A. The rise in the number of wash loads in the UK.
B. The increase in the global detergent market size.
C. The change in materials used to make modern clothes.
D. The impact of washing clothes more often on the environment.
9. How many Britons interviewed thought washing less would cause little harm to the environment?
A. 130. B. 200. C. 360. D. 1,500.
10. What does Dr. Cui Su mean in the last paragraph?
A. We are misled about perfect cleanliness.
B. Views on cleanliness haven’t changed.
C. People naturally prefer clean clothes.
D. Cleanliness is a personal choice.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Clean clothes: a reflection of success
B. The role of advertising in laundry habits
C. Laundry trends and the rise of microplastics
D. Clean clothes, dirty environment: rethinking laundry
D
Whether you shop for food in a traditional grocery store or a big-box store, most of your options are junk foods. Terms on food packaging like “low fat,” “gluten-free,” “keto-friendly” and “a good source of fiber” don’t answer the fundamental question: Is this food good for me? There is little reliable guidance available for people who don’t have the time, patience or skill to analyze the nutrition labels (标签).
But what we really need is a bold (大胆的) move that would be to prevent people from food that’s bad for them: a warning sign that a high-sugar soda or breakfast cereal product, for example, is an unhealthy choice.
Chile, Mexico, Brazil and dozens of other countries have worked to change food labeling. Research has suggested that these labels can help people understand nutritional quality and change their purchasing habits. Finally, the goal of the labels is to improve nutrition and reduce the consumption of over-processed foods.
After Chile adopted several rules in 2016, researchers found that the consumption of drinks high in sugar and sodium declined by nearly 25 percent. In Uruguay a survey published in 2020 assessing the early effects of nutritional warnings found that 58 percent of participants who noticed the warning changed their decisions about buying a product. Of those who changed their decisions, 17 percent said they chose a similar product with fewer warnings, and 18 percent decided not to buy a similar product at all.
In the United States, new labeling laws will be much more challenging to take effect. As you might expect, food producers will surely try to stop warning labels from being required. They are arguing that these plans would be costly and that those costs would be passed on to consumers. But research conducted soon after Chile’s food labeling and advertising law passed showed no effects on total employment, with negligible effects on wages (工资) and profit, even as consumer consumption of unhealthy foods declined.
To be clear, this is just one of many steps toward providing all Americans with a healthy diet. But knowable front-of-package labeling is one of the best levers (杠杆) available to policymakers, and it is already working elsewhere. It can work here, too.
12. What does paragraph 1 focus on?
A. The lack of nutrition. B. The problem with labels.
C. The shortage of food. D. The doubt about package.
13. What do the examples of Chile and Uruguay show?
A. The consumption of over-processed foods has been stopped.
B. People in the two countries have better nutrition awareness.
C. Food producers there work well with the government.
D. Warning labels can effectively change people’s buying behavior.
14. What does the underlined word “negligible” mean in paragraph 5?
A. Obvious. B. Lasting. C. Insignificant. D. Undesired.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards adopting warning labels in the United States?
A. Unclear. B. Opposed. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive.

Leo was a typical high school student who believed he was incredibly healthy and strong. At 16, he thought health was something that only the elderly needed to worry about. His routine consisted of staying up late doing homework and playing video games, and surviving on instant noodles and energy drinks. “I’m young, and I am fit enough,” he would argue whenever his mother reminded him not to procrastinate (拖延) and told him to go to bed earlier and abandon his unhealthy eating habit.
His best friend, Henry, was the opposite — he jogged every morning, ate balanced meals, and went to bed at ten. “You’re going to crash someday,” Henry warned, but Leo just laughed it off. After all, he seldom got sick and never felt tired. Or so he told himself.
Then came the day of the school’s annual sports meet. Leo had signed up for the 1,000-meter race, confident that his natural talent would carry him through. The gun went off, and for the first lap, he felt fine. But by the second lap, his chest was burning. His legs felt like lead. His vision blurred (模糊). The world spun around him, and then everything went black.
Leo woke up in the school clinic with a pale-faced teacher and his worried mother by his side. The doctor’s words echoed (回响) in his ears: “Poor nutrition and signs of severe lack of sleep. Young man, your body is crying for help.” Looking at his mother’s tearful eyes, Leo felt a sharp pain that had nothing to do with his body.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
That night, lying in his bed, Leo reflected for a long time.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the next sports meet, Leo stood at the starting line again.

Ellie Hamby, a photographer, and Sandy Hazelip, a physician, toured the world in 80 days, adventuring from the beaches of Bali to the deserts of Egypt.
Their first stop was Antarctica. “The beauty of the Antarctic is just unbelievable,” Hamby recalled. Since then, the pair have visited 18 countries across all seven continents.
And despite the challenges international travel presents, the best friends say they finished their trip without any arguments.
“We’re both independent, very stubborn. But we seem to allow each other to give space,” said Hamby. “We just understand each other and we know this is a good thing we’re doing and we kind of respect each other’s feelings.”
For Hamby, the most interesting aspect of the trip was the people they met along the way.
“We love all the sights that we saw, but the things that we remember the most are the people that we met,” she said. “We met some of the most wonderful, kindest, friendliest people in the world. We just have friends now all over the world that we love dearly.”
And they shared an important piece of advice for any travelers worried about the language barrier on their own adventures.
“You know, people ask us often about the language, how we manage it,” said Hamby. “We say with Sandy and Ellie, there’s one language and that’s a smile. And we found that worked wonders because we were often aware that there was not English spoken. But a smile covers all languages.”
4. Why did they finish the trip without arguments?
A. They had different personalities.
B. They prepared presents for each other.
C. They understood and respected each other.
D. They allowed each other to voice their ideas.
5. What part of the trip impressed Hamby most?
A. The beautiful sights. B. The wonderful people.
C. The interesting activities. D. The cultural experiences.
6. What did Hamby suggest travelers do with the language barrier?
A. Rely on the smile. B. Be more adventurous.
C. Hear English spoken more. D. Learn more languages.
7. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Language Struggles: Testing Friendship
B. Travel Troubles: Friendship Tested Abroad
C. Talking Struggles: Adventures Lost in Translation
D. Limitless Adventure: Two Friends Break Age Barriers
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D

C
Ecover is calling for a change in our laundry (洗衣服) habits after research found people felt under societal pressure to wash their clothes more often, and were unaware that this could damage the environment. The brand, in partnership with Falmouth University, is publishing a report this week into the impact of laundry on the environment. The researchers found that 18% of the 2,000 Britons interviewed for the report believed — wrongly — that washing less frequently would not affect the planet. One in 10 felt pressure to do the laundry more often.
The report also found that 75% of people in recent studies mentioned fear of judgment from others for wearing the same clothes multiple days in a row. Model and environmental activist Lily Cole, who will chair a panel discussion on the findings in London this week, said she had experienced this. “The attitude has changed in recent years, but I was in the sidebar of shame a few times for wearing the same look on the red carpet,” she said.
Figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed the number of wash loads in the UK increased by 9.6% from 6.2 bn to 6.8 bn between 2005 and 2014. It is still increasing year by year. The global detergent (洗涤剂) market size was valued at USD 119.34 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2024 to 2030. Pollution from detergent causes serious risks to natural ecosystems. Changes to the materials used to make modern clothes have worsened the problem — washing clothes made from man-made fabrics accounts for about 8% of the microplastics released into our water.
Dr. Cui Su, from the school of communication, Falmouth University, who worked on the report said, “For decades, our relationship with laundry has been shaped by powerful cultural forces and advertising that have conditioned us to believe that ‘perfectly clean’ is the only acceptable standard. From the smell of freshly washed clothes to the freshness of fabrics, cleanliness has been presented not just as a necessity, but as a reflection of success.”
8. What is the main concern of Ecover’s research on laundry habits?
A. The rise in the number of wash loads in the UK.
B. The increase in the global detergent market size.
C. The change in materials used to make modern clothes.
D. The impact of washing clothes more often on the environment.
9. How many Britons interviewed thought washing less would cause little harm to the environment?
A. 130. B. 200. C. 360. D. 1,500.
10. What does Dr. Cui Su mean in the last paragraph?
A. We are misled about perfect cleanliness.
B. Views on cleanliness haven’t changed.
C. People naturally prefer clean clothes.
D. Cleanliness is a personal choice.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Clean clothes: a reflection of success
B. The role of advertising in laundry habits
C. Laundry trends and the rise of microplastics
D. Clean clothes, dirty environment: rethinking laundry
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文探讨了洗衣服次数的增加、洗涤剂市场规模的增长以及现代衣物材料的改变对环境问题的影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Ecover is calling for a change in our laundry (洗衣服) habits after research found people felt under societal pressure to wash their clothes more often, and were unaware that this could damage the environment. The brand, in partnership with Falmouth University, is publishing a report this week into the impact of laundry on the environment.(Ecover呼吁人们改变洗衣服的习惯,因为研究发现,人们感受到来自社会的压力,觉得自己需要更频繁地清洗衣物,而并未意识到这可能对环境造成损害。该品牌与法尔茅斯大学合作,将于本周发布一份关于洗衣对环境影响的报告。)”可知,Ecover的研究主要关注洗衣习惯对环境的影响,特别是人们在社会压力下频繁洗衣服而没有意识到这种行为可能对环境造成的损害。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The researchers found that 18% of the 2,000 Britons interviewed for the report believed—wrongly—that washing less frequently would not affect the planet.(研究人员发现,在参与该报告的2000名英国受访者中,有18%的人错误地认为,减少洗衣频率不会对地球产生影响。)”可知,18%的受访者认为减少洗衣服的频率不会影响环境。因此,有2000×18%=360名受访的英国人认为少洗衣服不会对环境造成危害。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Dr. Cui Su, from the school of communication, Falmouth University, who worked on the report said, “For decades, our relationship with laundry has been shaped by powerful cultural forces and advertising that have conditioned us to believe that ‘perfectly clean’ is the only acceptable standard. From the smell of freshly washed clothes to the freshness of fabrics, cleanliness has been presented not just as a necessity, but as a reflection of success.”(参与该报告的法尔茅斯大学传播学院学者Dr. Cui Su表示:“几十年来,我们与洗衣的关系一直受到强大的文化力量和广告的影响,这些因素使我们习惯于相信‘完美洁净’是唯一可接受的标准。从刚洗过的衣服的气味到面料的清新感,洁净不仅被呈现为一种必需品,更被视为成功的体现。”)”可知,Dr. Cui Su认为,几十年来,强大的文化力量和广告塑造了我们与洗衣服的关系,使我们习惯于相信“完全干净”是唯一可接受的标准,清洁不仅是一种必需品,而且是成功的体现。由此可知,Dr. Cui Su暗示了我们被绝对的清洁误导了。

主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Ecover is calling for a change in our laundry (洗衣服) habits after research found people felt under societal pressure to wash their clothes more often, and were unaware that this could damage the environment.(Ecover呼吁人们改变洗衣服的习惯,因为研究发现,人们感受到来自社会的压力,觉得自己需要更频繁地清洗衣物,而并未意识到这可能对环境造成损害。)”并通读全文可知,本文探讨了洗衣服次数的增加、洗涤剂市场规模的增长以及现代衣物材料的改变对环境问题的影响,故D项“Clean clothes, dirty environment: rethinking laundry(干净的衣服,被污染的环境:重新思考洗衣服)”能概括全文内容,可以作本文标题。

Whether you shop for food in a traditional grocery store or a big-box store, most of your options are junk foods. Terms on food packaging like “low fat,” “gluten-free,” “keto-friendly” and “a good source of fiber” don’t answer the fundamental question: Is this food good for me? There is little reliable guidance available for people who don’t have the time, patience or skill to analyze the nutrition labels (标签).
But what we really need is a bold (大胆的) move that would be to prevent people from food that’s bad for them: a warning sign that a high-sugar soda or breakfast cereal product, for example, is an unhealthy choice.
Chile, Mexico, Brazil and dozens of other countries have worked to change food labeling. Research has suggested that these labels can help people understand nutritional quality and change their purchasing habits. Finally, the goal of the labels is to improve nutrition and reduce the consumption of over-processed foods.
After Chile adopted several rules in 2016, researchers found that the consumption of drinks high in sugar and sodium declined by nearly 25 percent. In Uruguay a survey published in 2020 assessing the early effects of nutritional warnings found that 58 percent of participants who noticed the warning changed their decisions about buying a product. Of those who changed their decisions, 17 percent said they chose a similar product with fewer warnings, and 18 percent decided not to buy a similar product at all.
In the United States, new labeling laws will be much more challenging to take effect. As you might expect, food producers will surely try to stop warning labels from being required. They are arguing that these plans would be costly and that those costs would be passed on to consumers. But research conducted soon after Chile’s food labeling and advertising law passed showed no effects on total employment, with negligible effects on wages (工资) and profit, even as consumer consumption of unhealthy foods declined.
To be clear, this is just one of many steps toward providing all Americans with a healthy diet. But knowable front-of-package labeling is one of the best levers (杠杆) available to policymakers, and it is already working elsewhere. It can work here, too.
12. What does paragraph 1 focus on?
A. The lack of nutrition. B. The problem with labels.
C. The shortage of food. D. The doubt about package.
13. What do the examples of Chile and Uruguay show?
A. The consumption of over-processed foods has been stopped.
B. People in the two countries have better nutrition awareness.
C. Food producers there work well with the government.
D. Warning labels can effectively change people’s buying behavior.
14. What does the underlined word “negligible” mean in paragraph 5?
A. Obvious. B. Lasting. C. Insignificant. D. Undesired.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards adopting warning labels in the United States?
A. Unclear. B. Opposed. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】文章指出消费者当下购买的食物多为垃圾食品,包装标签难以帮助他们判断食物好坏,智利等多国改变食品标签且取得成效,美国实施新标签法遇阻,但有研究表明其负面影响小,应该推行这种措施。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Whether you shop for food in a traditional grocery store or a big-box store, most of your options are junk foods. Terms on food packaging like “low fat,” “gluten-free,” “keto-friendly” and “a good source of fiber” don’t answer the fundamental question: Is this food good for me? There is little reliable guidance available for people who don’t have the time, patience or skill to analyze the nutrition labels (标签). (无论你是在传统的杂货店还是大型商店购买食品,你选择的大部分都是垃圾食品。食品包装上的“低脂肪”、“无麸质”、“适合生酮饮食”和“富含纤维”等字眼并没有回答一个基本问题:这种食物对我有好处吗?对于那些没有时间、耐心或技能来分析营养标签的人来说,几乎没有可靠的指导。)”可知,本段指出食品标签不能有效帮助消费者判断食物是否有益这一问题,强调的是食品标签存在的问题。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“After Chile adopted several rules in 2016, researchers found that the consumption of drinks high in sugar and sodium declined by nearly 25 percent. In Uruguay a survey published in 2020 assessing the early effects of nutritional warnings found that 58 percent of participants who noticed the warning changed their decisions about buying a product. Of those who changed their decisions, 17 percent said they chose a similar product with fewer warnings, and 18 percent decided not to buy a similar product at all. (智利在2016年通过了几项规定后,研究人员发现,高糖和高钠饮料的消费量下降了近25%。在乌拉圭,2020年发布的一项评估营养警告早期影响的调查发现,58%注意到警告的参与者改变了购买产品的决定。当然,在那些改变了决定的人中,17%的人说他们选择了警告更少的类似产品,18%的人决定根本不买类似的产品。)”可推知,这些具体的数据和例子表明,食品上的警告标签能够切实有效地影响人们在购物时的选择,从而改变他们的购买行为。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“They are arguing that these plans would be costly and that those costs would be passed on to consumers. But research conducted soon after Chile’s food labeling and advertising law passed showed no effects on total employment (他们认为,这些计划成本高昂,而且这些成本将转嫁给消费者。但在智利食品标签和广告法通过后不久进行的研究显示,对总就业没有影响)”和下文“even as consumer consumption of unhealthy foods declined (尽管消费者对不健康食品的消费有所下降)”可知,这里有转折,虽然食品生产商反对警告标签,认为这成本高且成本会转嫁给消费者,但实际上影响不大,对工资和利润影响应该是“微不足道的,不值一提的”,画线词意思与insignificant“微不足道的,不显著的”接近。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。作者在文中列举了其他国家实施食品警告标签取得的积极效果,并在最后一段中“But knowable front-of-package labeling is one of the best levers (杠杆) available to policymakers, and it is already working elsewhere. It can work here, too. (但是,便于知悉的包装正面标签是政策制定者可用的最佳杠杆之一,而且它已经在其他地方发挥作用。这在这里也行得通。)”指出这一举措在美国应该也是可行的。由此可知,作者对在美国采用警告标签持支持态度。

【导语】文章主要介绍艺术并非遥不可及的奢侈品,它遍布日常生活,能够舒缓压力,普通人也可以进行艺术创作,科技拓宽了艺术传播途径,但艺术的内核始终不变。
【16题详解】
根据前文“Art is often considered a luxury, something only for experts or museums.(艺术常被视作奢侈品,只属于专业人士或博物馆藏品)”以及空后“In fact, it is around us every day, shaping our moods and connecting our hearts.(事实上,艺术每日都在我们身边,影响情绪、联结心灵)”可知前后存在转折关系,前文是片面看法,后文纠正该观点;选项D“But this opinion is far from the truth.(但这种看法与事实相差甚远)”转折过渡,贴合逻辑。
【17题详解】
根据前文“Art can be seen in many forms, not just oil paintings or sculptures.(艺术形式多种多样,不只有油画与雕塑)”和空后“A well designed poster, a beautiful building, a catchy song, and even a carefully arranged flower vase all belong to art.(设计精巧的海报、别致建筑、动听歌曲、精心摆放的花瓶都属于艺术)”可知空格承接上文,说明艺术涵盖生活中各类创意事物;选项E“It includes almost everything creative in life.(它几乎囊括生活中所有富有创意的事物)” 完美衔接上下文。
【18题详解】
根据后文“When we look at a painting, listen to soft music, or watch a dance, our stress is gradually reduced. Art calms our mind and helps us relax after a long busy day.(观赏画作、聆听轻音乐、欣赏舞蹈都能缓解压力,抚慰身心,舒缓忙碌一天后的疲惫)”可知,整段围绕艺术减压展开,空格为本段主旨句;选项F“Art provides a wonderful way to reduce stress.(艺术是缓解压力的绝佳途径)”总领全段内容。
【19题详解】
根据前文“Many people believe they have no artistic talent at all. This thought is not completely correct.(很多人自认毫无艺术天赋,这种想法并不完全正确)”以及空后“Doodling on paper, taking photos of sunsets, or cooking a nice-looking meal all count as creative expressions.(随手涂鸦、拍摄落日、制作精致餐食都属于创意表达)”可知,空前点明对艺术的错误看法,空后说明艺术存在于日常之中,故空格要说明普通人也能创作艺术,无需专业身份;选项A“You don’t need to be a professional to create art.(创作艺术不必成为专业人士)” 逻辑通顺。
【20题详解】
根据前文“Digital painting, online galleries and short video creations make art easier to share.(数字绘画、线上展馆、短视频创作让艺术传播更便捷)”和空后“True art always comes from human experience and true feelings.(真正的艺术永远源于人的亲身经历与真情实感)”可知前文讲科技带来艺术新形式,后文强调艺术本质不变,存在转折对比;选项C“However, the soul of art remains the same.(然而,艺术的灵魂从未改变)” 衔接前后语义。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了西方绘画艺术风格变化的发展过程。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:由于西方艺术有这么多不同的风格,也许理解西方艺术的最好方法是看看几个世纪以来西方绘画的发展。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词“is”,故空处需填非谓语动词,the best way to do sth表示“做某事的最好方法”,用动词不定式作后置定语。故填to understand。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:他的画与其他画的区别在于他们逼真的人脸和深刻的情感影响。短语set apart from表示“与……区别开来”。故填from。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意:他的画与其他画的区别在于他们逼真的人脸和深刻的情感影响。根据“human faces”可知,空处需填形容词作定语,realistic作形容词,表示“写实的,逼真的”。故填realistic。
【39题详解】
考查副词的比较级。句意:文艺复兴时期画家对宗教题材的关注较少。结合句意可知,文艺复兴时期与中世纪相比,画家对宗教题材的关注较少,需用副词的比较级。故填less。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:一个重要的突破是马萨乔透视法的使用,另一个创新是油画颜料的使用。结合句意可知,此处指“一个重要的突破”,用不定冠词表示泛指,“important”以元音音素开头,位于句首,首字母大写。故填An。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:在主题上,重点从宗教主题逐渐转向了人和我们周围的世界。根据“shifted”可知,空处需填副词作状语,修饰动词,increasingly作副词,表示“日益,越来越”。故填increasingly。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:摄影术发明于19世纪中期,自那以后人们不再需要绘画来保存人和世界的样子。分析句子结构可知,空处是“介词+关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句,从句缺介词“after”的宾语,先行词指的是发明于19世纪中期的摄影术,指物,故用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【43题详解】
考查时态。句意:因此,印象派在法国兴起。分析句子结构可知,空处缺谓语动词,描述过去的动作用一般过去时。故填emerged。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这个新运动的名字来自克劳德·莫奈的画作《印象,日出》。分析句中结构可知,句中已有谓语动词“came”,空处需填非谓语动词,“the painting”和“call”之间是被动关系,故用过去分词作后置定语。故填called。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意:他们试图做的不再是展示现实,而是提出一个问题:“什么是艺术?”根据句意可知,前后构成转折关系,用表示转折关系的连词but连接。故填but。

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。
Leo was a typical high school student who believed he was incredibly healthy and strong. At 16, he thought health was something that only the elderly needed to worry about. His routine consisted of staying up late doing homework and playing video games, and surviving on instant noodles and energy drinks. “I’m young, and I am fit enough,” he would argue whenever his mother reminded him not to procrastinate (拖延) and told him to go to bed earlier and abandon his unhealthy eating habit.
His best friend, Henry, was the opposite — he jogged every morning, ate balanced meals, and went to bed at ten. “You’re going to crash someday,” Henry warned, but Leo just laughed it off. After all, he seldom got sick and never felt tired. Or so he told himself.
Then came the day of the school’s annual sports meet. Leo had signed up for the 1,000-meter race, confident that his natural talent would carry him through. The gun went off, and for the first lap, he felt fine. But by the second lap, his chest was burning. His legs felt like lead. His vision blurred (模糊). The world spun around him, and then everything went black.
Leo woke up in the school clinic with a pale-faced teacher and his worried mother by his side. The doctor’s words echoed (回响) in his ears: “Poor nutrition and signs of severe lack of sleep. Young man, your body is crying for help.” Looking at his mother’s tearful eyes, Leo felt a sharp pain that had nothing to do with his body.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
That night, lying in his bed, Leo reflected for a long time.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the next sports meet, Leo stood at the starting line again.

【答案】参考范文
That night, lying in his bed, Leo reflected for a long time. He decided to make a change. After full recovery, he got up early to jog with Henry. It was painful at first, but he didn’t give up. Besides the jogging routine, he replaced instant noodles and energy drinks with fresh vegetables, fruits, and plenty of water. He set a strict schedule: study by day, exercise in the morning, and sleep by ten. Leo’s mother watched in amazement as he made a change suddenly and Henry cheered him on every step of the way. Gradually, Leo found himself more energetic.
At the next sports meet, Leo stood at the starting line again. His posture was different — straight, confident, and calm. When the gun fired, he ran steadily, pacing himself just as Henry had taught him. Lap after lap, while other runners slowed down, Leo maintained his rhythm. He crossed the finish line in third place — not first, but he didn’t care. His mother was cheering in the crowd, tears streaming down her face — not tears of worry this time, but of pride. Henry ran up to him and gave him a hug. Leo finally understood that he was really healthy in the right way.
