Last April, after I published an essay about poetry as part of National Poetry Month, an editor told me he’d often thought that the world would be a better place if we had a poem delivered to our doorstep each morning instead of a newspaper. As a newspaperman, I’m not ready to discourage readership of each day’s edition, but maybe there’s something to be said for reading a newspaper and a poem each morning.
All of that has led to a small experiment. In an effort to keep a little poetry in my life long after National Poetry Month had passed, I resolved to read at least one poem a day after reading through the newspaper over breakfast. Thanks to two digital services that deliver poetry right to my email inbox, it’s been an easy resolution to keep.
Many public radio listeners are familiar with The Writer’s Almanac, a five-minute broadcast hosted by Garrison Keillor that airs on lots of stations around the country. Each day’s edition includes a handful of facts about literary anniversaries, along with a short poem that Keillor recites. Fans can also have the text of each episode emailed to them every day, along with a link to the broadcast version.
The Academy of American Poets has its own poem-day feature, called “Poem-a-Day”. Launched during National Poetry Month in 2006, Poem-a-Day highlights new and previously unpublished poems by contemporary poets on weekdays and classic poems on weekends.
Since subscribing to both services last April, I’ve enjoyed receiving poems each morning. Reading at least one poem a day has also been like an intellectual vitamin (维生素), giving me a brief taste of literature even on busy days. Last April, I wondered if I could remind myself to read a poem each morning. Now, deep in summer, I wonder if I could ever do without it.
24. What did the editor think of poetry?
A. It could improve our daily life. B. It was as important as newspapers.
C. It had a small but faithful readership. D. It should be composed in the morning.
25. How did the author conduct his experiment?
A. By listening to radios and writing emails. B. By contributing poems to a newspaper.
C. By creating resolutions over breakfast. D. By making use of online services.
26. What can be learned about The Writer’s Almanac?
A. It is a popular daily radio program. B. It marks its twentieth anniversary in 2025.
C. It features poems written by Garrison Keillor. D. It highlights unpublished poems on weekends.
27. What does the last paragraph reveal about the author?
A. It has taken years for him to fall in love with literature. B. He is wondering how to continue his conduct.
C. He has developed a deep appreciation for poetry. D. It has benefited him a lot to be a newspaperman.
C
Next time you find yourself feeling sleepy from the pitter-patter of rain outside your window, think how that same rain might sound if you were a tiny seed planted below a free-falling droplet. Would you still be sleepy? In fact, MIT engineers have found the opposite to be the case: Some seeds may come alive to the sound of rain.
Nicholas Makris, a professor of mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and his team conducted experiments with rice seeds, which naturally grow in shallow water. They submerged (浸没) roughly 8,000 rice seeds in shallow water basins at a depth of about 2.5 to 3.0 centimeters and exposed them to the sound of falling water droplets impacting the surface above. The seeds were placed away from the impact zone so that only the sound would reach them. The team varied the droplet size and height to mimic different rains.
The results were striking. Seeds exposed to the sound of water were able to germinate (发芽) 24 to 37 percent faster than those in identical but quiet conditions. In addition, seeds located closer to the drop impact point sensed the sound better and grew faster.
So how do seeds “hear” raindrops? The researchers explain that when a raindrop hits the surface of a puddle or the ground, it generates a sound wave that makes the surroundings vibrate (振动), including any shallowly submerged seeds. These vibrations are intense enough to dislodge (使移位) a seed’s “statoliths” — tiny gravity-sensing organelles within certain cells of a seed. Their repeated displacement is a signal for seeds and seedlings to grow and sprout.
Scientists believe that this mechanism offers an advantage: If seeds are close enough to the surface to respond to the sound of rain, they are likely at the perfect depth to take in water and safely grow to the surface. “What this study is saying is that seeds can sense sound in ways that can help them survive,” says Makris. “The energy of the rain sound is enough to accelerate a seed’s growth.”
28. What is the main purpose of paragraph 2?
A. To explain the selection of subjects. B. To highlight a specific research tool.
C. To present the experimental method. D. To provide the study’s scientific basis.
29. How do raindrop sounds make seeds grow?
A. By generating a special kind of signal.
B. By shaking some of their internal structures.
C. By replacing their gravity-sensing organelles.
D. By directly transforming vibrations into energy.
30. What advantage do rain-sensing seeds likely have?
A. Fast root growth. B. Ideal growth position.
C. Efficient water storage. D. Excellent hearing ability.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Secret Senses: How Plants Feel the World
B. Statoliths: The “Brain” Inside a Rice Seed
C. Beyond Sound: How Water Affects Seed Growth
D. A Wake-Up Call: Rain Sounds Drive Seed Growth
D
A recent robot sports competition showed humanoid robots running, falling, getting up, and continuing to the finish line. This event reflects the current state of AI and has raised public awareness. At the same time, rising AI stock (股票) prices show that investors are optimistic about its future.
In China, using AI in work and daily life has become a national goal. Last month, the State Council released a plan for the “AI+” initiative. This plan aims to bring AI into all industries over 10 years, in three stages, to build new smart economic and social systems.
A survey shows that 53.1% of people are excited about AI, 26% are pleasantly surprised, and 11% feel negative. This optimism comes from the belief that AI will change life just like mobile internet did. This is similar to the success of China’s “Internet+” plan over the past ten years, which helped improve industries and people’s lives.
However, AI also brings worries. Some fear that AI “silicon (硅)-based workers” might take human jobs, and that relying too much on AI could weaken human thinking skills. Research from MIT found that people who use AI a lot have weaker brain connections. Other current problems include “black boxes” (when AI gives unpredictable results because it learns from data) and “model hallucinations” (when AI gives wrong answers based on untested data).
Although some people are worried, this will not stop AI from moving forward. As an important area in global competition, AI’s development is certain. The “AI+” plan also focuses on safety and includes rules to prevent misuse. Like other major new technologies in the past, AI will need time to improve. Experts say today’s problems will help the industry become more careful and lead to important breakthroughs in the future.
32. What is the main goal of China’s “AI+” initiative mentioned in the text?
A. To reduce the price of AI stocks. B. To combine AI with all industries.
C. To stop people from using AI in daily life. D. To make AI robots win all sports competitions.
33. Why are many people optimistic about AI?
A. Because they think AI will change life. B. Because AI will replace all human jobs.
C. Because AI can solve all health problems. D. Because AI robots are faster than humans.
34. What does the underlined phrase “model hallucinations” mean?
A. AI robots making errors during tasks. B. Weaker brain connections in AI users.
C. AI mistakes caused by unproven data. D. Unpredictable results from AI learning from data.
35. What is the author’s attitude toward AI’s future?
A. Totally indifferent, ignoring AI. B. Fully negative, fearing job losses.
C. Deeply doubtful, questioning AI’s value. D. Cautiously hopeful, balancing risks and progress.

We all know that protecting our eyes is important. However, many students tend to ignore the warning signs of eye tiredness. ____36____ Nowadays, eye overuse has become a very common phenomenon.
____37____ It usually results from not following the 20-20-20 rule (looking at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes), studying in poor lighting conditions, holding books too close to your eyes, or not blinking (眨眼) enough while focusing.

Just like a car, your eyes need proper care and regular maintenance to keep functioning well — not only when you use them intensively during study sessions but throughout your entire daily life. ____40____
A. Therefore, be cautious during your study time.
B. The first thing you can do is develop good habits.
C. You may also experience physical eye discomfort.
D. Eye overuse means not giving your eyes enough rest.

Jane had a deep affection for birds. Every morning, she scattered (抛撒) seeds in her backyard and whispered, “Good morning, my little friends!” To her, their songs sounded like cheerful laughter, and she often laughed along with them.
However, her neighbor, Mr. Thompson, didn’t share her joy. He was constantly annoyed by the birds that flew into his yard. “They’re too noisy!” he complained. “And they make such a mess in MY yard!” His sharp words made Jane feel quite uneasy, yet she refused to give up on her feathered friends. She firmly believed that every small creature deserved care.
One morning, Jane discovered a small sparrow (麻雀) shaking under the fence. One of its wings looked bent at a painful angle. Filled with worry, Jane carefully picked it up and named it Pip. She placed him in a small, warm basket in a safe corner right next to the fence.
A week passed. Pip was getting better but still unable to fly. One afternoon, while Jane was feeding Pip by the fence, Mr. Thompson shouted from his side, “You’re just asking for trouble!” Jane gently lifted Pip in her hands so Mr. Thompson could see him through the gaps in the fence. “Look, Mr. Thompson. Pip’s wing is hurt.” Mr. Thompson cast an impatient glance at the tiny creature. For a moment, his frown (皱眉) softened. “That wing...” he said softly, almost to himself.
Just then, Jane’s mother called her from the driveway, saying they were leaving for a family visit. Jane waved a quick goodbye to Pip and hurried to the car. However, on their way home, a heavy storm broke out. Watching the trees shaking in the strong wind, Jane felt very worried about Pip, who was left all alone in the yard. The moment they pulled into the driveway, she dashed toward the backyard, calling Pip’s name.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

【原文】W: Good morning, everyone. I’m your guide for today. We’ve made a change to the trip. I hope none of you will mind. We’re still going to visit the beautiful town of Brampton with its old university. But today, because we have a lot of children here this week, we’re also going to a wildlife park. On the way to Brampton, we’ll drive through some beautiful countryside. We’ll go over the mountain and we’ll have a lovely view of the lake from the top. In the next valley, we’ll have a break for coffee. There’s a cafe near a beautiful waterfall and if any of you want to go for a walk, you can. We’ll get to Brampton at about 11:30. We’ll start by taking a guided tour of the university. There’ll be time for all of you to have a look at the shops. Most people come to Brampton nowadays for the shops, but it’s the university that made the town famous. If you don’t want to look at the shops, I suggest you visit the museum. After lunch, we’ll get back and go to the wildlife park. We need to stay in the bus while we drive around because we’ll see lions in the park, which can obviously be dangerous. I’ve never seen tigers there and I’m afraid they no longer have any monkeys. Now then, before we get on the bus, if anyone wants to ask any questions I’ll try to answer them.

Last April, after I published an essay about poetry as part of National Poetry Month, an editor told me he’d often thought that the world would be a better place if we had a poem delivered to our doorstep each morning instead of a newspaper. As a newspaperman, I’m not ready to discourage readership of each day’s edition, but maybe there’s something to be said for reading a newspaper and a poem each morning.
All of that has led to a small experiment. In an effort to keep a little poetry in my life long after National Poetry Month had passed, I resolved to read at least one poem a day after reading through the newspaper over breakfast. Thanks to two digital services that deliver poetry right to my email inbox, it’s been an easy resolution to keep.
Many public radio listeners are familiar with The Writer’s Almanac, a five-minute broadcast hosted by Garrison Keillor that airs on lots of stations around the country. Each day’s edition includes a handful of facts about literary anniversaries, along with a short poem that Keillor recites. Fans can also have the text of each episode emailed to them every day, along with a link to the broadcast version.
The Academy of American Poets has its own poem-day feature, called “Poem-a-Day”. Launched during National Poetry Month in 2006, Poem-a-Day highlights new and previously unpublished poems by contemporary poets on weekdays and classic poems on weekends.
Since subscribing to both services last April, I’ve enjoyed receiving poems each morning. Reading at least one poem a day has also been like an intellectual vitamin (维生素), giving me a brief taste of literature even on busy days. Last April, I wondered if I could remind myself to read a poem each morning. Now, deep in summer, I wonder if I could ever do without it.
24. What did the editor think of poetry?
A. It could improve our daily life. B. It was as important as newspapers.
C. It had a small but faithful readership. D. It should be composed in the morning.
25. How did the author conduct his experiment?
A. By listening to radios and writing emails. B. By contributing poems to a newspaper.
C. By creating resolutions over breakfast. D. By making use of online services.
26. What can be learned about The Writer’s Almanac?
A. It is a popular daily radio program. B. It marks its twentieth anniversary in 2025.
C. It features poems written by Garrison Keillor. D. It highlights unpublished poems on weekends.
27. What does the last paragraph reveal about the author?
A. It has taken years for him to fall in love with literature. B. He is wondering how to continue his conduct.
C. He has developed a deep appreciation for poetry. D. It has benefited him a lot to be a newspaperman.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. A 27. C

C
Next time you find yourself feeling sleepy from the pitter-patter of rain outside your window, think how that same rain might sound if you were a tiny seed planted below a free-falling droplet. Would you still be sleepy? In fact, MIT engineers have found the opposite to be the case: Some seeds may come alive to the sound of rain.
Nicholas Makris, a professor of mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and his team conducted experiments with rice seeds, which naturally grow in shallow water. They submerged (浸没) roughly 8,000 rice seeds in shallow water basins at a depth of about 2.5 to 3.0 centimeters and exposed them to the sound of falling water droplets impacting the surface above. The seeds were placed away from the impact zone so that only the sound would reach them. The team varied the droplet size and height to mimic different rains.
The results were striking. Seeds exposed to the sound of water were able to germinate (发芽) 24 to 37 percent faster than those in identical but quiet conditions. In addition, seeds located closer to the drop impact point sensed the sound better and grew faster.
So how do seeds “hear” raindrops? The researchers explain that when a raindrop hits the surface of a puddle or the ground, it generates a sound wave that makes the surroundings vibrate (振动), including any shallowly submerged seeds. These vibrations are intense enough to dislodge (使移位) a seed’s “statoliths” — tiny gravity-sensing organelles within certain cells of a seed. Their repeated displacement is a signal for seeds and seedlings to grow and sprout.
Scientists believe that this mechanism offers an advantage: If seeds are close enough to the surface to respond to the sound of rain, they are likely at the perfect depth to take in water and safely grow to the surface. “What this study is saying is that seeds can sense sound in ways that can help them survive,” says Makris. “The energy of the rain sound is enough to accelerate a seed’s growth.”
28. What is the main purpose of paragraph 2?
A. To explain the selection of subjects. B. To highlight a specific research tool.
C. To present the experimental method. D. To provide the study’s scientific basis.
29. How do raindrop sounds make seeds grow?
A. By generating a special kind of signal.
B. By shaking some of their internal structures.
C. By replacing their gravity-sensing organelles.
D. By directly transforming vibrations into energy.
30. What advantage do rain-sensing seeds likely have?
A. Fast root growth. B. Ideal growth position.
C. Efficient water storage. D. Excellent hearing ability.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Secret Senses: How Plants Feel the World
B. Statoliths: The “Brain” Inside a Rice Seed
C. Beyond Sound: How Water Affects Seed Growth
D. A Wake-Up Call: Rain Sounds Drive Seed Growth
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍的是麻省理工学院工程师的一项研究发现——雨滴的声音能够刺激某些种子加速发芽生长。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Nicholas Makris, a professor of mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and his team conducted experiments with rice seeds, which naturally grow in shallow water. They submerged roughly 8,000 rice seeds in shallow water basins at a depth of about 2.5 to 3.0 centimeters and exposed them to the sound of falling water droplets impacting the surface above. The seeds were placed away from the impact zone so that only the sound would reach them. The team varied the droplet size and height to mimic different rains. (麻省理工学院机械工程教授尼古拉斯·马克里斯及其团队对水稻种子进行了实验,水稻种子自然生长在浅水中。他们将大约8000粒水稻种子浸没在深度约2.5至3.0厘米的浅水盆中,并让它们暴露在落水滴撞击水面的声音中。种子被放置在远离撞击点的位置,以便只有声音能够传到它们那里。研究团队改变了水滴的大小和高度来模拟不同的降雨。)”可知,第二段主要描述了实验的对象、具体操作步骤和变量控制方法,即呈现实验方法。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“These vibrations are intense enough to dislodge a seed’s ‘statoliths’ — tiny gravity-sensing organelles within certain cells of a seed. (这些振动强度足以使种子的“平衡石”移位——平衡石是种子某些细胞内的微小重力感应细胞器。)”可知,雨滴声音产生的振动会使种子内部的平衡石发生移位,从而触发种子生长。因此,雨滴声音是通过震动种子内部的一些结构来促进种子生长的。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“If seeds are close enough to the surface to respond to the sound of rain, they are likely at the perfect depth to take in water and safely grow to the surface. (如果种子距离地表足够近,能够对雨声做出反应,那么它们很可能处于能够吸收水分并安全生长到地表的完美深度。)”可知,能够对雨声做出反应的种子很可能处于理想的生长位置(既能吸收水分,又能安全生长到地表)。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Some seeds may come alive to the sound of rain. (一些种子可能会因雨声而苏醒。)”以及最后一段“‘What this study is saying is that seeds can sense sound in ways that can help them survive,’ says Makris. ‘The energy of the rain sound is enough to accelerate a seed’s growth.’ (‘这项研究表明,种子能够以有助于它们生存的方式感知声音,’马克里斯说,‘雨声的能量足以加速种子的生长。’)”可知,全文围绕“雨声能够唤醒并驱动种子加速生长”这一核心发现展开,D项A Wake-Up Call: Rain Sounds Drive Seed Growth (唤醒信号:雨声驱动种子生长) 最能概括文章主旨。
D
A recent robot sports competition showed humanoid robots running, falling, getting up, and continuing to the finish line. This event reflects the current state of AI and has raised public awareness. At the same time, rising AI stock (股票) prices show that investors are optimistic about its future.
In China, using AI in work and daily life has become a national goal. Last month, the State Council released a plan for the “AI+” initiative. This plan aims to bring AI into all industries over 10 years, in three stages, to build new smart economic and social systems.
A survey shows that 53.1% of people are excited about AI, 26% are pleasantly surprised, and 11% feel negative. This optimism comes from the belief that AI will change life just like mobile internet did. This is similar to the success of China’s “Internet+” plan over the past ten years, which helped improve industries and people’s lives.
However, AI also brings worries. Some fear that AI “silicon (硅)-based workers” might take human jobs, and that relying too much on AI could weaken human thinking skills. Research from MIT found that people who use AI a lot have weaker brain connections. Other current problems include “black boxes” (when AI gives unpredictable results because it learns from data) and “model hallucinations” (when AI gives wrong answers based on untested data).
Although some people are worried, this will not stop AI from moving forward. As an important area in global competition, AI’s development is certain. The “AI+” plan also focuses on safety and includes rules to prevent misuse. Like other major new technologies in the past, AI will need time to improve. Experts say today’s problems will help the industry become more careful and lead to important breakthroughs in the future.
32. What is the main goal of China’s “AI+” initiative mentioned in the text?
A. To reduce the price of AI stocks. B. To combine AI with all industries.
C. To stop people from using AI in daily life. D. To make AI robots win all sports competitions.
33. Why are many people optimistic about AI?
A. Because they think AI will change life. B. Because AI will replace all human jobs.
C. Because AI can solve all health problems. D. Because AI robots are faster than humans.
34. What does the underlined phrase “model hallucinations” mean?
A. AI robots making errors during tasks. B. Weaker brain connections in AI users.
C. AI mistakes caused by unproven data. D. Unpredictable results from AI learning from data.
35. What is the author’s attitude toward AI’s future?
A. Totally indifferent, ignoring AI. B. Fully negative, fearing job losses.
C. Deeply doubtful, questioning AI’s value. D. Cautiously hopeful, balancing risks and progress.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了中国“AI+”计划的目标、公众对AI的态度、AI带来的问题及发展前景。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第二段中“Last month, the State Council released a plan for the “AI+” initiative. This plan aims to bring AI into all industries over 10 years, in three stages, to build new smart economic and social systems.(上个月,国务院发布了“AI+”倡议计划。该计划旨在在10年内分三个阶段将人工智能引入所有行业,构建新的智能经济和社会体系)”可知,中国“AI+”倡议的主要目标是将人工智能与所有行业相结合。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“This optimism comes from the belief that AI will change life just like mobile internet did.(这种乐观源于人们相信人工智能会像移动互联网一样改变生活)”可知,很多人对人工智能持乐观态度是因为他们认为人工智能会改变生活。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Research from MIT found that people who use AI a lot have weaker brain connections. Other current problems include “black boxes” (when AI gives unpredictable results because it learns from data) and “model hallucinations” (when AI gives wrong answers based on untested data).(目前的其他问题包括“黑箱”(当人工智能从数据中学习时给出不可预测的结果)和“model hallucinations”(当人工智能基于未经测试的数据给出错误答案时))”可知,“model hallucinations”指的是人工智能因未经证实的数据而犯的错误。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。 根据最后一段中“Although some people are worried, this will not stop AI from moving forward. As an important area in global competition, AI’s development is certain. The “AI+” plan also focuses on safety and includes rules to prevent misuse. Like other major new technologies in the past, AI will need time to improve. Experts say today’s problems will help the industry become more careful and lead to important breakthroughs in the future.(尽管有些人担心,但这不会阻止人工智能向前发展。作为全球竞争的重要领域,人工智能的发展是确定的。“AI+”计划还注重安全,并包括防止滥用的规则。像过去的其他重大新技术一样,人工智能需要时间来改进。专家表示,今天的问题将有助于该行业更加谨慎,并在未来取得重要突破)”可知,作者对人工智能的未来持谨慎乐观的态度,平衡了风险和进步。

【导语】文章主要介绍了中国非遗工坊助力乡村振兴,在保护传统手工艺、带动就业、拉动地方经济方面成效显著,同时介绍了国家及地方层面出台的扶持政策与落地成果。
【56题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:中国非物质文化遗产工坊正成为乡村振兴的强劲助力,这类工坊传承传统手工艺、创造就业岗位、提振地方经济,官方数据显示,目前正常运营的非遗工坊数量超过11000家。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词是workshops,指物,从句中缺少主语,用which。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这些工坊分布在2005个县级区域,为相关行业120多万人创造了就业机会。此句已有谓语动词have generated,空处应填非谓语形式;distribute与主语These workshops构成被动关系,表“被分布,被布设”,应用过去分词distributed作后置定语。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:值得注意的是,超过4300家工坊直接开设在乡村,通过居家生产和日薪模式,为老年居民、妇女以及残障人士提供适配性极强的灵活工作模式。此句已有谓语动词operate,空处应填非谓语形式;provide与逻辑主语workshops构成主动关系,应用现在分词providing作伴随状语。
【59题详解】
考查连词。句意:值得注意的是,超过4300家工坊直接开设在乡村,通过居家生产和日薪模式,为老年居民、妇女以及残障人士提供适配性极强的灵活工作模式。home-based production与daily wage models是并列名词短语作宾语,应用连词and。
【60题详解】
考查名词。句意:政府积极发挥非物质文化遗产在文化保护与经济发展当中的作用。形容词cultural后需接名词,作介词in的宾语,preserve的名词形式是preservation,意为“保护,留存”,是不可数名词。
【61题详解】
考查副词。句意:2021年12月,文旅部和其他中央部门印发政策文件,专门指导这类工坊的创办与运营,着重强调人才培养、就业创造以及产业扶持。此处修饰动词guiding,应用副词specifically作状语,意为“专门地,具体地”。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:地方层面,18个省份出台政策扶持、管理非遗工坊,提供资金扶持、营销帮扶以及资源统筹协调。此处用不定式to support作目的状语,政策的目的是扶持和管理工坊。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意:举例来说,浙江省杭州市萧山区将工坊与村庄结对共建。pair A with B是固定搭配,含义为“把A和B结对,配对”。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意:省级萧山腌萝卜非遗工坊通过订单式生产联结四万余名农户,在2024年创造了3亿元(折合4185万美元)的产值。output value为可数单数概念,此处泛指“一项产值”,且output以元音音素开头,用不定冠词an。
【65题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意:值得一提的是,截至2025年3月,国家级非物质文化遗产代表性传承人数量已增长至近4000人,体现出各项举措成效显著。根据时间状语by March 2025可知,此句表示截止到过去的时间已经完成的动作,应用过去完成时;主语the number与grow是主动关系,且主语为单数,grow变形为had grown。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jane had a deep affection for birds. Every morning, she scattered (抛撒) seeds in her backyard and whispered, “Good morning, my little friends!” To her, their songs sounded like cheerful laughter, and she often laughed along with them.
However, her neighbor, Mr. Thompson, didn’t share her joy. He was constantly annoyed by the birds that flew into his yard. “They’re too noisy!” he complained. “And they make such a mess in MY yard!” His sharp words made Jane feel quite uneasy, yet she refused to give up on her feathered friends. She firmly believed that every small creature deserved care.
One morning, Jane discovered a small sparrow (麻雀) shaking under the fence. One of its wings looked bent at a painful angle. Filled with worry, Jane carefully picked it up and named it Pip. She placed him in a small, warm basket in a safe corner right next to the fence.
A week passed. Pip was getting better but still unable to fly. One afternoon, while Jane was feeding Pip by the fence, Mr. Thompson shouted from his side, “You’re just asking for trouble!” Jane gently lifted Pip in her hands so Mr. Thompson could see him through the gaps in the fence. “Look, Mr. Thompson. Pip’s wing is hurt.” Mr. Thompson cast an impatient glance at the tiny creature. For a moment, his frown (皱眉) softened. “That wing...” he said softly, almost to himself.
Just then, Jane’s mother called her from the driveway, saying they were leaving for a family visit. Jane waved a quick goodbye to Pip and hurried to the car. However, on their way home, a heavy storm broke out. Watching the trees shaking in the strong wind, Jane felt very worried about Pip, who was left all alone in the yard. The moment they pulled into the driveway, she dashed toward the backyard, calling Pip’s name.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
To her horror, the basket was empty. Jane’s heart sank as she frantically searched the yard, her voice trembling with fear as she called Pip’s name. Tears welled up in her eyes as she imagined the worst, fearing that Pip might have been blown away by the storm or hurt by the falling branches. She knelt down, scanning the ground for any sign of the little sparrow, her hands shaking as she picked up twigs and leaves.
At this moment, Mr. Thompson appeared with Pip. He held the sparrow gently in his hands, his expression a mix of concern and embarrassment. “I found him hiding under my porch,” he said, his voice softer than usual. “The storm was too strong for him.” Jane rushed over, tears of relief streaming down her face as she took Pip back. She looked up at Mr. Thompson, her eyes shining with gratitude. “Thank you.” she whispered, her heart overflowing with joy and newfound respect for her neighbor.
【解析】
【导语】本文以Jane与邻居Mr. Thompson围绕鸟类的矛盾冲突为线索展开。Jane对鸟类满怀热爱,不仅每日在院子抛撒种子与鸟儿互动,还悉心救助了一只受伤的麻雀Pip。然而,邻居Mr. Thompson却对鸟儿极为厌烦,觉得它们吵闹且把院子弄得杂乱不堪。一次,Jane因外出遭遇暴风雨,回家后发现安置Pip的篮子空了,她顿时心急如焚,害怕Pip遭遇不测。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“令她惊恐的是,篮子是空的。”可知,第一段可着重描写Jane发现篮子空了之后,内心极度惊恐,进而在院子里疯狂寻找Pip,脑海中不断浮现各种Pip可能遭遇不幸的可怕场景。
②由第二段首句内容“这时,汤普森先生带着Pip出现了。”可知,第二段可描写汤普森先生讲述找到Pip的过程,Jane对汤普森先生表达感激之情,同时她对汤普森先生的看法也发生了转变。
2. 续写线索: Jane发现篮子空了——内心焦急、流泪寻找——担忧Pip遭遇危险——Mr. Thompson带着Pip出现——Mr. Thompson说明救助经过——Jane欣慰落泪、道谢——邻里关系缓和
3. 词汇激活:
行为类
①颤抖:tremble/shiver
②涌出:well up/spring up
③浏览:scan/look through
情绪类
①恐惧:fear/dread
②宽慰:relief/comfort
【点睛】【高分句型1】Jane’s heart sank as she frantically searched the yard, her voice trembling with fear as she called Pip’s name.(运用了两个as引导的时间状语从句以及独立主格结构)
【高分句型2】She knelt down, scanning the ground for any sign of the little sparrow, her hands shaking as she picked up twigs and leaves.(运用了现在分词作状语、独立主格结构以及as引导的时间状语从句)

If you don't want to look at the shops, I suggest you visit the museum. After a lunch, we will get back and go to the wildlife park. We need to stay in the bus while we drive around because we'll see violence in the park, which can obviously be dangerous. I've never seen tigers there, and i'm afraid they no longer have any monkeys. Now, then before we get on the bus, if anyone wants to ask any questions, i'll try to answer them. 第二节到此结束。
