When I first picked up a fountain pen, I hardly imagined anyone bothering with such an outdated instrument. My grandfather’s eyes lit up like a child discovering a hidden treasure. To him, the act of writing wasn’t just about putting words on paper — it was a special practice. Writing was about carefully shaping thoughts and sharing them clearly and with care. As a teenager in the digital age, I found the leaking ink and the rough nib (笔尖) more of a trouble than anything else until last summer when I cleaned out his roof space.
While sorting through boxes, I came across a wooden box filled with letters — not just letters my grandfather had received, but drafts of his own. One letter, written to the local mayor about the closure of a neighborhood park, wasn’t just a list of complaints. Instead, he had described the scene of elderly men playing chess in the shade, the distant sound of children laughing, and the general peaceful atmosphere of the community. The writing was both elegant and firm, urging the mayor to consider the value of community spaces.
It was then that I understood. My grandfather wrote his letters not merely to communicate information, but as works of more love and respect than beautiful handwriting, intended to give the reader the time and attention they deserved. He wasn’t writing for quick exchange, as I often did with my text messages, but for lasting impact.
I began using that old fountain pen again. At first, my hand seized up, and I found it disappointing to write at the pace my thoughts raced. But gradually, the slow ink flow made me slow down and think deeply and carefully about my thoughts, my emotions, and my words.
4. How did the author find using a fountain pen at the beginning?
A. Unique B. Creative C. Useless D. Troublesome
5. What made the author change his attitude toward the fountain pen?
A. The description of the peaceful park.
B. The discovery of his grandfather’s letters.
C. The realization of writing’s artistic beauty.
D. The process of cleaning out the roof space.
6. What does “the slow ink flow” mean to the author in the last paragraph?
A. A force for reflection. B. A record of emotion.
C. A source of inspiration. D. A passion for tradition.
7. What’s a suitable title for this text?
A. The Art of Handwriting. B. The Slow Pace of Modern Life.
C. The Letters of My Grandpa. D. The Wisdom of a Fountain Pen.
C
In an age when artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly engaged in the creative process, a question is raised for viewers and institutions: What is considered as art when the human hand is no longer directly involved in crafting the work? Major museums are now struggling with this question and are trying to teach the public to see beyond mere visual excitement.
For pioneering AI artists, the act of art creation lies in writing code and curating (策展) data. They spend months or even years building and polishing AI models, adding their ideas into every technical detail. Artist Casey Reas states, “I don’t really believe in the artist’s hand; I believe in the artist’s point of view.” Another artist, Refik Anadol, has even planned to build an AI art museum in Los Angeles. Named Dataland, the museum will have its own AI model for use by artists — built with support from Google and Nvidia and trained on half a billion images, all collected with the permission of the owners.
AI art is not entirely new, as it has roots in computer experiments from the 1960s. It stepped into public view in 2018 when Portrait of Edmond de Belamy was sold at Christie’s. Today, some museums like the Tate Modern recognize it as a “cultural milestone.” However, others such as the Nasher Museum remain hesitant. Some curators even argue that AI does not qualify as art and warn that audiences can quickly feel tired of works that rely only on technological novelty.
At the New York Armory Show in 1913, American audiences were perturbed about cubism (立体主义). Today’s AI-generated works arouse similar unease, challenging audiences to decide whether new tools expand or narrow the meaning of art. As MoMA’s curator Paola Antonelli notes, the initial restlessness with new technology eventually gives way to calmness, and audiences will develop their own critical sense to determine which institutions and works truly matter in this developing era.
8. What is pioneering AI artists’ focus of art creation?
A. The artist’s insight. B. The data collection.
C. The visual technology. D. The physical craftsmanship.
9. What concern do doubtful curators raise about AI art?
A. AI art’s technology may become outdated easily.
B. AI-generated works’ appeal may disappear soon.
C. AI art’s technology holds no cultural significance.
D. AI-generated works don’t make artists qualified.
10. What does the underlined word “perturbed” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Passionate. B. Curious. C. Uninformed. D. Unsettled.
11. What is the main focus of the passage?
A. History of AI technology in art creation.
B. Strategies of using AI in art for more audiences.
C. Argument over the artistic nature of AI works.
D. Differences between traditional art and digital art.
D
As all gardeners know, fruits and vegetables that have gone bad could be a precious resource. Let them bubble away in a composter (堆肥箱) and they become rich food for flower beds and vegetable gardens. Engineers know it too. The nutrients produced by decaying food can also be used to fuel bioreactors — devices for producing new substance.
With bioreactors, almost everything from medicines to cleaner and greener materials, machine oils, fabrics, and even foods, could be generated. Capra Biosciences, Inc., a start-up behind a cutting-edge bioreactor technology, is working with professionals at the Boston University College of Engineering, to make a smarter, more efficient bioreactor.
Capra’s bioreactor uses biofilm, essentially a layer of thick, glue-like material that provides an ideal home for microbes (微生物). They’ve already used it to create a petroleum-free skin cream and plan to turn it to producing biological lubricants (润滑剂) for motors and other machinery. But making the business possible will require automation and novel quality-control and security measures, which is where the Boston University team — with backgrounds in genetic engineering, electronics, and automation — comes in. Despite progress, maintaining consistent output across diverse waste streams remains a key challenge.
To address that, the BU team has already proposed a series of design solutions that will allow the company to turn an unpredictable combination of food, animal waste, and other waste products into a reliable final result, as well as monitor the whole process with tiny sensors moving about in a bioreactor. They also have a plan for allowing other researchers nationwide to adapt their work and create identical devices producing multiple life-changing, and planet-saving products in a vast range of fields.
“This kind of teamwork is amazing. It is the future in terms of where advances in biotechnology are coming from,” says Capra cofounder Andrew Magyar. “We want to engineer organisms to help us make products sustainably and cost-competitively, so consumers won’t have to decide, ‘Do I want the sustainable option or the cheap option?’”
12. Why does the author mention the composter in the first paragraph?
A. To promote a gardening technique. B. To introduce an engineering creation.
C. To explain how to recycle food waste. D. To describe how natural nutrients form.
13. What is the function of the biofilm?
A. To prevent skin burn. B. To power the bioreactor.
C. To support bacteria growth. D. To glue machine parts together.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Applications of the device. B. Trends of food processing.
C. Options to save the planet. D. Strategies to handle the issue.
15. What do Andrew Magyar’s words imply?
A. Biotechnology is the future of science.
B. Teamwork is more important than new ideas.
C. Customers prioritize price over sustainability.
D. The team will make green products affordable.
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。
Your friends mean the world to you, and the last thing you want to do is upset them. ___16___ So, how do you apologize to a friend you really hurt? We’ve consulted psychologists and a life coach on how to apologize sincerely. By following their steps and tips, you can mend your friendship.
Reach out to them to talk about what happened. If you’re truly sorry for what occurred, don’t hesitate to be the one to approach your friend — don’t wait for them to come to you. ___17___ This proves you truly care and take responsibility for your actions. Remember, only apologize if you’re really sorry; otherwise, your apology will come across as insincere.
Acknowledge their emotions. Round out your apology by expressing an understanding of your friend’s feelings. No matter what happened, it’s important to recognize that they’ve been hurt. Show that you’re aware of how your actions made them feel. Licensed Clinical Psychologist Gera Anderson says, “Acknowledge their feelings and any actions that may have led to those feelings. If you regret your actions, apologize for them. ___18___”
Include your commitment into your apology. Show your friend that their friendship means a lot to you by assuring not to make a similar mistake again. For instance, “I missed your birthday party. I made a promise to you but dropped it. ___19___” Just remember, actions speak louder than words. So go through with your swears.
___20___ While it may sound sorrowful, knowing that your friend doesn’t have to accept your apology is a must. Rather than trapping them in a corner or flooding them with apologies, give them the space to walk away. Giving an apology doesn’t mean they are obligated to forgive you. So, be patient and accepting of however they respond.
A. Give your friend an out.
B. I won’t take my words so lightly again.
C. Make your apology as specific as possible.
D. Set aside your pride and be the bigger person.
E. But mistakes happen, whether you want them to or not.
F. If you don’t, apologize for the fact that your actions hurt them.
G. You have to know that I was included in a sudden work meeting.

In the ancient Chinese classic Journey to the West, the Monkey King is appointed bimawen, a title that sounds like “avoiding horse plague (瘟疫)” in Chinese and is associated with caring for horses in the heavenly court. Though often treated as comic, the role reflects a genuine ancient ___36___ (believe): keeping monkeys in stables (马厩) could protect horses from disease.

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。
Elvis was a dog with a big personality. If there was a chance to be silly, he would take it without hesitation. He loved hiding toys, spinning in dizzy circles beneath the old oak tree while chasing squirrels, and running away just far enough to make people chase him. Whenever he put on one of his little performances, Mrs. Carter, the lady next door, would lean over the fence, watching the naughty dog and shaking her head. Yet all it took to turn this little rebel (调皮鬼) into a perfect gentleman was a spoonful of peanut butter or his old tennis ball.
Watching his playful nature every day, his owner Mikaela thought it might be fun to capture the world from Elvis’s point of view. So one day she bought a small GoPro camera (运动相机) and a special harness that a dog could wear. She imagined Elvis running happily while the camera recorded his little adventures.
Mikaela was excited to try it, but Elvis turned out to be even more excited. On a sunny afternoon, golden light spilled across the yard, catching the edges of the bushes. The old oak tree cast shifting shadows on the grass, and a row of wildflowers swayed gently by the fence. Mikaela took Elvis outside to play and brought out the new camera. The moment Elvis saw the shiny little device, his eyes sparkled. Mikaela had barely held it out before Elvis snatched it away as quickly as a shark grabbing its food. “Oh no, not again!” Mrs. Carter called out from behind the fence.
Before Mikaela could react, Elvis was racing across the yard with the GoPro in his mouth. “Hey! Elvis!” Mikaela shouted, running after him. But the more she chased him, the faster he ran. And the GoPro just stayed on the whole time!
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Para. 1: Mikaela chased after him, worried a lot.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para. 2: When Mikaela finally got the camera, she quickly checked it.

【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍了一款用于检测文字提交内容相似度的评估工具。
【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Turnitin is an assessment (评价) tool to check similarity for text-based submissions (提交). It compares a submitted assessment against a database of other papers and journals to discover similarity. (Turnitin是一款用于检测文本类提交作业相似度的评价工具。它将提交的作业与包含其他论文和期刊的数据库进行比对,以此找出相似内容)”可知,Turnitin用于检测提交的作业的相似性,故推测它的目标用户是老师。

When I first picked up a fountain pen, I hardly imagined anyone bothering with such an outdated instrument. My grandfather’s eyes lit up like a child discovering a hidden treasure. To him, the act of writing wasn’t just about putting words on paper — it was a special practice. Writing was about carefully shaping thoughts and sharing them clearly and with care. As a teenager in the digital age, I found the leaking ink and the rough nib (笔尖) more of a trouble than anything else until last summer when I cleaned out his roof space.
While sorting through boxes, I came across a wooden box filled with letters — not just letters my grandfather had received, but drafts of his own. One letter, written to the local mayor about the closure of a neighborhood park, wasn’t just a list of complaints. Instead, he had described the scene of elderly men playing chess in the shade, the distant sound of children laughing, and the general peaceful atmosphere of the community. The writing was both elegant and firm, urging the mayor to consider the value of community spaces.
It was then that I understood. My grandfather wrote his letters not merely to communicate information, but as works of more love and respect than beautiful handwriting, intended to give the reader the time and attention they deserved. He wasn’t writing for quick exchange, as I often did with my text messages, but for lasting impact.
I began using that old fountain pen again. At first, my hand seized up, and I found it disappointing to write at the pace my thoughts raced. But gradually, the slow ink flow made me slow down and think deeply and carefully about my thoughts, my emotions, and my words.
4. How did the author find using a fountain pen at the beginning?
A. Unique B. Creative C. Useless D. Troublesome
5. What made the author change his attitude toward the fountain pen?
A. The description of the peaceful park.
B. The discovery of his grandfather’s letters.
C. The realization of writing’s artistic beauty.
D. The process of cleaning out the roof space.
6. What does “the slow ink flow” mean to the author in the last paragraph?
A. A force for reflection. B. A record of emotion.
C. A source of inspiration. D. A passion for tradition.
7. What’s a suitable title for this text?
A. The Art of Handwriting. B. The Slow Pace of Modern Life.
C. The Letters of My Grandpa. D. The Wisdom of a Fountain Pen.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述作者由反感钢笔,发现祖父信件后转变看法,重拾钢笔静心书写。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“As a teenager in the digital age, I found the leaking ink and the rough nib (笔尖) more of a trouble than anything else until last summer when I cleaned out his roof space. (作为一名数字时代的青少年,我发现漏墨和粗糙的笔尖比其他任何事情都更麻烦——直到去年夏天我清理他的阁楼空间时为止。)”可知,一开始作者觉得使用钢笔十分麻烦。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“It was then that I understood. My grandfather wrote his letters not merely to communicate information, but as works of more love and respect than beautiful handwriting, intended to give the reader the time and attention they deserved. He wasn’t writing for quick exchange, as I often did with my text messages, but for lasting impact. (就在那一刻,我豁然明白。祖父写信不只是为了传递信息,这些文字承载的远不止漂亮字迹,满含爱意与尊重,意在给予读者他们应得的时间与关注。他不像我平时发消息那样只求快速交流,而是追求长久深远的影响。)” 和第四段中“I began using that old fountain pen again. (我重新拿起那支老旧钢笔书写。)”可知,发现祖父的信件让作者改变了对钢笔的看法。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But gradually, the slow ink flow made me slow down and think deeply and carefully about my thoughts, my emotions, and my words. (但渐渐地,钢笔缓慢的出墨速度促使我放慢节奏,深入审慎思考自己的想法、情绪与措辞。)”可知,用钢笔写字,缓慢出墨促使作者静心反思,是引人深思的力量。“钢笔缓慢的出墨速度”对作者来说意味着一种促使反思的力量。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。文章以钢笔为线索,作者从嫌弃钢笔,通过祖父的信领悟手写蕴含的深意,钢笔承载着静下心思考的智慧。“The Wisdom of a Fountain Pen. (一支钢笔蕴含的智慧。)”符合题意。
C
In an age when artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly engaged in the creative process, a question is raised for viewers and institutions: What is considered as art when the human hand is no longer directly involved in crafting the work? Major museums are now struggling with this question and are trying to teach the public to see beyond mere visual excitement.
For pioneering AI artists, the act of art creation lies in writing code and curating (策展) data. They spend months or even years building and polishing AI models, adding their ideas into every technical detail. Artist Casey Reas states, “I don’t really believe in the artist’s hand; I believe in the artist’s point of view.” Another artist, Refik Anadol, has even planned to build an AI art museum in Los Angeles. Named Dataland, the museum will have its own AI model for use by artists — built with support from Google and Nvidia and trained on half a billion images, all collected with the permission of the owners.
AI art is not entirely new, as it has roots in computer experiments from the 1960s. It stepped into public view in 2018 when Portrait of Edmond de Belamy was sold at Christie’s. Today, some museums like the Tate Modern recognize it as a “cultural milestone.” However, others such as the Nasher Museum remain hesitant. Some curators even argue that AI does not qualify as art and warn that audiences can quickly feel tired of works that rely only on technological novelty.
At the New York Armory Show in 1913, American audiences were perturbed about cubism (立体主义). Today’s AI-generated works arouse similar unease, challenging audiences to decide whether new tools expand or narrow the meaning of art. As MoMA’s curator Paola Antonelli notes, the initial restlessness with new technology eventually gives way to calmness, and audiences will develop their own critical sense to determine which institutions and works truly matter in this developing era.
8. What is pioneering AI artists’ focus of art creation?
A. The artist’s insight. B. The data collection.
C. The visual technology. D. The physical craftsmanship.
9. What concern do doubtful curators raise about AI art?
A. AI art’s technology may become outdated easily.
B. AI-generated works’ appeal may disappear soon.
C. AI art’s technology holds no cultural significance.
D. AI-generated works don’t make artists qualified.
10. What does the underlined word “perturbed” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Passionate. B. Curious. C. Uninformed. D. Unsettled.
11. What is the main focus of the passage?
A. History of AI technology in art creation.
B. Strategies of using AI in art for more audiences.
C. Argument over the artistic nature of AI works.
D. Differences between traditional art and digital art.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文探讨了人工智能艺术的艺术本质争议及其在主流艺术界的接受过程。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“For pioneering AI artists, the act of art creation lies in writing code and curating (策展) data. They spend months or even years building and polishing AI models, adding their ideas into every technical detail. Artist Casey Reas states,‘I don’t really believe in the artist’s hand; I believe in the artist’s point of view.’ (对于开创性的人工智能艺术家来说,艺术创作的行为在于编写代码和整理数据。他们花了几个月甚至几年的时间来构建和完善AI模型,将他们的想法添加到每个技术细节中。艺术家Casey Reas说:‘我并不真的相信艺术家的手;我相信艺术家的观点。’)”可知,先锋AI艺术家的创作核心是传递个人观点与洞察。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“Some curators even argue that AI does not qualify as art and warn that audiences can quickly feel tired of works that rely only on technological novelty. (一些策展人甚至认为AI作品不配被称为艺术,并警告说观众会很快对仅依赖技术新颖性的作品感到厌倦。)”可知,持怀疑态度的策展人担忧AI作品的吸引力会迅速消退。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“At the New York Armory Show in 1913, American audiences were perturbed about cubism(立体主义). Today’s AI-generated works arouse similar unease, challenging audiences to decide whether new tools expand or narrow the meaning of art. (1913年纽约军械库展览上,美国观众对立体主义感到perturbed。当今AI生成的作品引起类似的不安,挑战观众决定新工具是扩大还是缩小艺术的意义。),由“similar unease (类似的不安)”可知,perturbed意为“不安的”,与unsettled意义一致。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。 根据全文内容,从开篇提出“What is considered as art when the human hand is no longer directly involved in crafting the work? (当人类不再直接参与作品创作时,什么才算是艺术?)”的核心问题,到介绍先锋AI艺术家的创作理念、博物馆的不同态度,再到通过历史类比探讨公众接受度,均围绕AI作品的艺术属性争议展开。

As all gardeners know, fruits and vegetables that have gone bad could be a precious resource. Let them bubble away in a composter (堆肥箱) and they become rich food for flower beds and vegetable gardens. Engineers know it too. The nutrients produced by decaying food can also be used to fuel bioreactors — devices for producing new substance.
With bioreactors, almost everything from medicines to cleaner and greener materials, machine oils, fabrics, and even foods, could be generated. Capra Biosciences, Inc., a start-up behind a cutting-edge bioreactor technology, is working with professionals at the Boston University College of Engineering, to make a smarter, more efficient bioreactor.
Capra’s bioreactor uses biofilm, essentially a layer of thick, glue-like material that provides an ideal home for microbes (微生物). They’ve already used it to create a petroleum-free skin cream and plan to turn it to producing biological lubricants (润滑剂) for motors and other machinery. But making the business possible will require automation and novel quality-control and security measures, which is where the Boston University team — with backgrounds in genetic engineering, electronics, and automation — comes in. Despite progress, maintaining consistent output across diverse waste streams remains a key challenge.
To address that, the BU team has already proposed a series of design solutions that will allow the company to turn an unpredictable combination of food, animal waste, and other waste products into a reliable final result, as well as monitor the whole process with tiny sensors moving about in a bioreactor. They also have a plan for allowing other researchers nationwide to adapt their work and create identical devices producing multiple life-changing, and planet-saving products in a vast range of fields.
“This kind of teamwork is amazing. It is the future in terms of where advances in biotechnology are coming from,” says Capra cofounder Andrew Magyar. “We want to engineer organisms to help us make products sustainably and cost-competitively, so consumers won’t have to decide, ‘Do I want the sustainable option or the cheap option?’”
12. Why does the author mention the composter in the first paragraph?
A. To promote a gardening technique. B. To introduce an engineering creation.
C. To explain how to recycle food waste. D. To describe how natural nutrients form.
13. What is the function of the biofilm?
A. To prevent skin burn. B. To power the bioreactor.
C. To support bacteria growth. D. To glue machine parts together.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Applications of the device. B. Trends of food processing.
C. Options to save the planet. D. Strategies to handle the issue.
15. What do Andrew Magyar’s words imply?
A. Biotechnology is the future of science.
B. Teamwork is more important than new ideas.
C. Customers prioritize price over sustainability.
D. The team will make green products affordable.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍了Capra Biosciences公司与波士顿大学工程学院合作研发智能高效生物反应器的科技项目。
【12题详解】

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的内容“Capra’s bioreactor uses biofilm, essentially a layer of thick, glue-like material that provides an ideal home for microbes (微生物). (Capra的生物反应器使用生物膜,本质上是一层厚厚的、类似胶水的材料,为微生物提供了理想的生存环境。)”可知,生物膜的作用是支持微生物生长。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段内容“To address that, the BU team has already proposed a series of design solutions that will allow the company to turn an unpredictable combination of food, animal waste, and other waste products into a reliable final result, as well as monitor the whole process with tiny sensors moving about in a bioreactor. (为了解决这个问题,波士顿大学的团队已经提出了一系列设计方案,使该公司能够将不可预测的食物、动物粪便和其他废物的组合转化为可靠的最终结果,并通过在生物反应器中移动的微型传感器监控整个过程。)”以及后续具体措施可知,该段主要讲述应对生物反应器挑战的策略。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Andrew Magyar的话“We want to engineer organisms to help us make products sustainably and cost-competitively, so consumers won’t have to decide, ‘Do I want the sustainable option or the cheap option?’ (我们希望通过改造生物体来帮助我们可持续且具有成本竞争力地生产产品,这样消费者就不必在‘我想要可持续的选择还是便宜的选择’之间做决定。)”可推知,团队旨在让绿色产品价格亲民。

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。
Your friends mean the world to you, and the last thing you want to do is upset them. ___16___ So, how do you apologize to a friend you really hurt? We’ve consulted psychologists and a life coach on how to apologize sincerely. By following their steps and tips, you can mend your friendship.
Reach out to them to talk about what happened. If you’re truly sorry for what occurred, don’t hesitate to be the one to approach your friend — don’t wait for them to come to you. ___17___ This proves you truly care and take responsibility for your actions. Remember, only apologize if you’re really sorry; otherwise, your apology will come across as insincere.
Acknowledge their emotions. Round out your apology by expressing an understanding of your friend’s feelings. No matter what happened, it’s important to recognize that they’ve been hurt. Show that you’re aware of how your actions made them feel. Licensed Clinical Psychologist Gera Anderson says, “Acknowledge their feelings and any actions that may have led to those feelings. If you regret your actions, apologize for them. ___18___”
Include your commitment into your apology. Show your friend that their friendship means a lot to you by assuring not to make a similar mistake again. For instance, “I missed your birthday party. I made a promise to you but dropped it. ___19___” Just remember, actions speak louder than words. So go through with your swears.
___20___ While it may sound sorrowful, knowing that your friend doesn’t have to accept your apology is a must. Rather than trapping them in a corner or flooding them with apologies, give them the space to walk away. Giving an apology doesn’t mean they are obligated to forgive you. So, be patient and accepting of however they respond.
A. Give your friend an out.
B. I won’t take my words so lightly again.
C. Make your apology as specific as possible.
D. Set aside your pride and be the bigger person.
E. But mistakes happen, whether you want them to or not.
F. If you don’t, apologize for the fact that your actions hurt them.
G. You have to know that I was included in a sudden work meeting.

【解析】
【导语】文章介绍真诚向受伤好友道歉的方法:主动放下身段沟通,体谅对方情绪,承诺不再犯错,同时给朋友空间,不强求对方原谅。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Your friends mean the world to you, and the last thing you want to do is upset them.(你的朋友对你来说意义重大,你最不想做的事就是让他们生气)”以及后文“So, how do you apologize to a friend you really hurt? We’ve consulted psychologists and a life coach on how to apologize sincerely. By following their steps and tips, you can mend your friendship.(那么,当你真的伤害了朋友时,该如何道歉呢?我们咨询了心理学家和人生教练,了解如何真诚地道歉。只要遵循他们的步骤和建议,你就能修复这段友谊)”可知,空前说明不想让朋友难过,空后提出如何给受伤的朋友道歉,E项“但不管你愿不愿意,错误总会发生”承接上下文,逻辑通顺。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Reach out to them to talk about what happened. If you’re truly sorry for what occurred, don’t hesitate to be the one to approach your friend — don’t wait for them to come to you.(主动联系他们,谈谈发生了什么。如果你真的为所发生的事感到抱歉,就不要犹豫,主动去接近你的朋友——别等他们来找你)”以及后文“This proves you truly care and take responsibility for your actions. Remember, only apologize if you’re really sorry; otherwise, your apology will come across as insincere.(这证明你确实关心并为自己的行为负责。请记住,只有当你真的感到后悔时才道歉;否则,你的道歉会显得不真诚)”可知,空前强调不要等待对方先开口,要主动联系对方,D项“放下骄傲,做更大度的人”符合主动认错的语境,与下文“证明你真心在乎并为行为负责”逻辑连贯。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Acknowledge their emotions. Round out your apology by expressing an understanding of your friend’s feelings. No matter what happened, it’s important to recognize that they’ve been hurt. Show that you’re aware of how your actions made them feel. Licensed Clinical Psychologist Gera Anderson says, “Acknowledge their feelings and any actions that may have led to those feelings. If you regret your actions, apologize for them.(承认他们的情绪。在道歉时,表达对朋友感受的理解,以弥补你的歉意。无论发生了什么,重要的是要意识到他们受到了伤害。表明你清楚自己的行为让他们感到如何。持证临床心理学家杰拉·安德森表示:“承认他们的感受,以及可能导致这些感受的任何行为。如果你为自己的行为感到后悔,请为此道歉。”)”可知,本段核心是承认对方的情绪,空前提到“如果你对自己的行为后悔,就为此道歉”,F项“如果你不后悔行为本身,也要为你的行为伤害了对方道歉”顺承上文逻辑,符合语境。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Include your commitment into your apology. Show your friend that their friendship means a lot to you by assuring not to make a similar mistake again. For instance, “I missed your birthday party. I made a promise to you but dropped it.(在道歉中表达你的承诺。向朋友表明,他们的友谊对你意义重大,并保证以后不会再犯同样的错误。例如:“我错过了你的生日派对,我曾向你许下承诺,但后来却没能兑现。”)”以及后文“Just remember, actions speak louder than words. So go through with your swears.(记住,行动胜于言语。所以,继续履行你的誓言吧)”可知,本段要求道歉要加入不再犯错的承诺,空前举例“我错过你的生日,答应你的事却没做到”,B项“我不会再轻视我的承诺了”承接例子,给出承诺,契合段落主题。
【20题详解】
根据后文“While it may sound sorrowful, knowing that your friend doesn’t have to accept your apology is a must. Rather than trapping them in a corner or flooding them with apologies, give them the space to walk away. Giving an apology doesn’t mean they are obligated to forgive you. So, be patient and accepting of however they respond.(虽然听起来可能令人难过,但知道朋友不必接受你的道歉是必要的。与其将他们困在角落或不断向他们道歉,不如给他们一些空间,让他们选择离开。道歉并不意味着他们必须原谅你。因此,请耐心地接纳他们可能的任何反应)”可知,空后内容指出不需要强迫朋友原谅,要给对方空间接受任何回应,A项“给你的朋友留退路”概括了本段核心,适合做段首主旨句。

【答案】Dear Eric,
I’m glad to receive your email asking for advice on Chinese traditional culture courses. I strongly recommend Chinese Calligraphy taught by Ma Jun, the Calligraphy Club president.
First, writing with brushes lets you feel the beauty of Chinese characters directly. Besides, Mr. Ma is experienced and patient, who will teach basic strokes step by step. Unlike Peking Opera which requires singing skills or festival culture full of boring theories, calligraphy is easy for beginners. It can calm your mind and you can take your works home as special souvenirs.
Hope you will love this course. Looking forward to seeing your calligraphy works soon!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

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。
Elvis was a dog with a big personality. If there was a chance to be silly, he would take it without hesitation. He loved hiding toys, spinning in dizzy circles beneath the old oak tree while chasing squirrels, and running away just far enough to make people chase him. Whenever he put on one of his little performances, Mrs. Carter, the lady next door, would lean over the fence, watching the naughty dog and shaking her head. Yet all it took to turn this little rebel (调皮鬼) into a perfect gentleman was a spoonful of peanut butter or his old tennis ball.
Watching his playful nature every day, his owner Mikaela thought it might be fun to capture the world from Elvis’s point of view. So one day she bought a small GoPro camera (运动相机) and a special harness that a dog could wear. She imagined Elvis running happily while the camera recorded his little adventures.
Mikaela was excited to try it, but Elvis turned out to be even more excited. On a sunny afternoon, golden light spilled across the yard, catching the edges of the bushes. The old oak tree cast shifting shadows on the grass, and a row of wildflowers swayed gently by the fence. Mikaela took Elvis outside to play and brought out the new camera. The moment Elvis saw the shiny little device, his eyes sparkled. Mikaela had barely held it out before Elvis snatched it away as quickly as a shark grabbing its food. “Oh no, not again!” Mrs. Carter called out from behind the fence.
Before Mikaela could react, Elvis was racing across the yard with the GoPro in his mouth. “Hey! Elvis!” Mikaela shouted, running after him. But the more she chased him, the faster he ran. And the GoPro just stayed on the whole time!
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Para. 1: Mikaela chased after him, worried a lot.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para. 2: When Mikaela finally got the camera, she quickly checked it.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Mikaela chased after him, worried a lot. She knew the camera was not cheap, and she was afraid Elvis would drop it somewhere or chew it into pieces. Elvis darted under the old oak tree, leaped over the low flower bed by the fence, and paused for a second to bark playfully at Mrs. Carter before dashing toward her open garden gate. By the time Mikaela caught up to him at the far end of Mrs. Carter’s rose bush, Elvis had plopped down on the grass, wagging his tail like he had just won a great game. He even dropped the camera at Mikaela’s feet as if presenting a trophy, a silly grin on his furry face.
When Mikaela finally got the camera, she quickly checked it. Much to her surprise, the camera was still in one piece, and it had recorded the entire run. She pulled up the footage to watch: the shaking grass, the swaying wildflowers blurring past, Mrs. Carter’s laughing face leaning in, and even the close-up of Elvis’s paws pounding on the grass. It was exactly the playful, wonderful adventure she had hoped to capture. When she shared the video online, it quickly went viral, and everyone fell in love with the silly, charming dog. Even Mrs. Carter kept a framed photo of Elvis taken from his own run-by shot on her kitchen windowsill.
