B
It started innocently enough, as most things do. My son Nick had been eager to try rock climbing and he needed a partner. As a 45-year-old mother, I am not a physical person at all. But I still decided to join him in a training class. The first time I reached the top and returned safely to the ground, I was flooded with a mix of emotions. My body trembled, as I had pushed myself harder than I ever thought possible, but I had accomplished it.
Four months into my climbing journey, I had an accident while doing rock climbing. I am not sure what exactly happened, but I believe my foot missed a hold on the way down. I didn’t land properly and injured my lower back. I was taken to hospital by ambulance. I feared that I would never return to rock climbing and I said to Nick sadly, “A piece of me would slip away. It would be forgotten and lie passive forever. I couldn’t let that happen.”
It took nearly three months before I felt strong enough to give it another try. Nick was supportive throughout the process. I made it halfway up, but then panic set in. I felt like I had let myself and Nick down. He reassured me, telling me not to worry, to take my time, and to try a different route when I was ready. Fifteen minutes later, I chose a different path. I kept reminding myself that I could change my mind at any time. Along the way Nick guided me and encouraged me. To my surprise, I made it to the top and back to the ground safely.
Rock climbing was doing wonders for me. It has not only enhanced my physical and mental strength but also implanted in me a newfound sense of confidence. Moreover, it serves as an excellent opportunity for Nick and me to strengthen our bond, while encouraging me to explore more possibilities, embodying the spirit of pushing myself to the limits.
4. Why did the author join rock climbing at first?
A. To keep her son company. B. To step out of comfort zone.
C. To seek adventure and enjoyment. D. To improve her physical condition.
5. What can we infer from the author’s words to her son in paragraph 2?
A. She was eager to show her physical capacities.
B. She was concerned about disconnecting with Nick.
C. She feared losing self-identity gained from climbing.
D. She valued the new insight developed from climbing.
6. What was the key to the success of the author’s first try after recovery?
A. Nick’s backing. B. Her passion.
C. Her experience. D. Her doctor’s encouragement.
7. Which of the following is the best title of the text?
A. Facing up to the Next Challenge B. Reaching for a Lifelong Ambition
C. Pushing Boundaries with Rock Climbing D. Improving Competence Through Doing Sports
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述了45岁的作者最初为陪需要搭档的儿子尝试攀岩,首次登顶突破自我后意外受伤,担心无法重返攀岩,恢复后在儿子的鼓励下重新成功登顶,最终在攀岩中收获身心力量与自信,也拉近了和儿子的关系,实现了自我突破的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“My son Nick had been eager to try rock climbing and he needed a partner. As a 45-year-old mother, I am not a physical person at all. But I still decided to join him in a training class. (我的儿子尼克一直想去尝试攀岩,可他缺少一个搭档。我已是四十五岁的母亲,向来不擅长体育运动,但我还是决定陪他一起参加训练课。)”可知,作者最初加入攀岩是为了陪儿子,做儿子的搭档。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“I feared that I would never return to rock climbing and I said to Nick sadly, ‘A piece of me would slip away. It would be forgotten and lie passive forever. I couldn’t let that happen.’ (我担心我再也不能重返攀岩了,我悲伤地对尼克说:‘我的一部分自我将会消逝,它会被永远遗忘,永远沉寂下去。我不能让这种事发生。’)”可推知,攀岩已经成为作者自我的一部分,她害怕失去这份从攀岩中获得的自我认同。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Nick was supportive throughout the process. I made it halfway up, but then panic set in. I felt like I had let myself and Nick down. He reassured me, telling me not to worry, to take my time, and to try a different route when I was ready. Fifteen minutes later, I chose a different path. I kept reminding myself that I could change my mind at any time. Along the way Nick guided me and encouraged me. To my surprise, I made it to the top and back to the ground safely. (全程尼克一直支持着我。那次我只爬到一半,恐惧感便席卷而来,我觉得我让自己和尼克失望了。他让我放心,告诉我不要担心,慢慢来,等我准备好了再尝试另一条路线。十五分钟后,我选了另一条攀爬线路,不断告诉自己随时可以放弃。一路上尼克为我指引、不断鼓励我。令我惊喜的是,我最终成功登顶,又平安回到地面。)”可知,作者恢复后首次尝试攀岩成功的关键是尼克的支持。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Rock climbing was doing wonders for me. It has not only enhanced my physical and mental strength but also implanted in me a newfound sense of confidence. Moreover, it serves as an excellent opportunity for Nick and me to strengthen our bond, while encouraging me to explore more possibilities, embodying the spirit of pushing myself to the limits. (攀岩给我带来了莫大的改变。它不仅锻炼了我的体魄、磨炼了我的心智,更让我重新收获了自信。除此之外,攀岩也成了我和尼克拉近亲子关系的绝佳契机,不断激励我发掘自身更多潜能,让我懂得不断突破自我极限的意义。)”并结合全文可知,本文围绕作者的攀岩经历展开,核心是作者通过攀岩不断突破自身边界,C选项“Pushing Boundaries with Rock Climbing (在攀岩中突破边界)”最贴合文章主旨。
C
It was a cold May morning when I received an email from an old friend inviting me to join a 10-day all-girls surfing trip. I knew I had to say yes. The trip seemed simple enough. 10 women aged 30 to 45, all complete strangers, were to meet on the coast of Portugal to try something new: surfing in the Atlantic Ocean. I have always loved traveling, so I eagerly sent an email to my boss asking for time off to make the trip.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned over my past 33 years, it’s that adults typically spend their days mastering the things they’ve done before. It seems like we pride ourselves on becoming experts in whatever field we’ve fallen into, knowing more about less. Now, in theory, this is a great strategy, as it allows you to become really good at one particular thing, but it also may end up leaving some skills lacking.
I met my new surfing companions on the lawn of the hotel in a small surf town called Ericeira. Despite our different personalities and backgrounds, we were all united in a strong desire to challenge ourselves, learn, tackle issues and grow.
The shores at Ericeira, where the beginners learn to surf, are shallow and covered with slippery rocks. They make for softer waves but are difficult to ride.
Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves. Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us, but we were still out there. And with every slip and fall, words of encouragement filled the air. Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn’t matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked.
Learning a new skill taught me the humility that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you’ve been working on. While surfing might not be my lifelong passion, trying it out inspired me to take more risks in life. You never know what you’re capable of if you don’t go out there and try.
8. What inspired the author to join the surfing trip?
A. Her love for seashore surfing. B. Her desire to make new friends.
C. Her need to take a break from work. D. Her desire for exploring something new.
9. What does the author think of adults’ focusing on mastering one field?
A. It narrows one’s potential. B. It hurts one’s pride.
C. It broadens one’s view of the world. D. It promotes one’s career success.
10. Which adjectives can best describe the author’s surfing experience?
A. Relaxing but dangerous. B. Challenging but rewarding.
C. Tough and uninteresting. D. Surprising and unforgettable.
11. What can be inferred about the author?
A. She used to lack confidence in herself.
B. She was determined to become an expert surfer.
C. She discovered her lifelong passion after the trip.
D. She was more willing to try new experiences in life.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述作者参加了一场全女性的陌生人群体冲浪旅行,在学习冲浪的过程中克服了诸多困难,感悟到要勇于走出舒适区、尝试新事物的道理。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“10 women aged 30 to 45, all complete strangers, were to meet on the coast of Portugal to try something new: surfing in the Atlantic Ocean. I have always loved traveling, so I eagerly sent an email to my boss asking for time off to make the trip. (10名年龄在30-45岁之间的女士,全都是陌生人,将在葡萄牙海岸碰面,尝试一件新鲜事:在大西洋冲浪。我一直热爱旅行,因此我热切地给老板发邮件请假来参加这次旅行。)”,结合第三段“Despite our different personalities and backgrounds, we were all united in a strong desire to challenge ourselves, learn, tackle issues and grow. (我们性格、背景各不相同,但都怀着同一个强烈的愿望:挑战自我、学习、解决问题并获得成长。)”可知,作者是出于探索新事物的渴望决定参加旅行。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It seems like we pride ourselves on becoming experts in whatever field we’ve fallen into, knowing more about less. Now, in theory, this is a great strategy, as it allows you to become really good at one particular thing, but it also may end up leaving some skills lacking. (我们似乎总以自己在所涉猎的领域成为专家为傲,懂得更多,却了解得更少。从理论上来说,这是一个不错的策略,因为它能让你变得非常擅长某一件特定的事,但它最终也可能会让你缺失其他一些技能。)”可知,作者认为只专注一个领域会限制一个人的潜力发展。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The shores at Ericeira, where the beginners learn to surf, are shallow and covered with slippery rocks. They make for softer waves but are difficult to ride. (埃里塞拉供初学者学习冲浪的海岸水浅,还覆盖着湿滑的岩石。这里的浪更缓,但很难驾驭。)”和第五段“Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn’t matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked. (老实说,我大部分时间都冻得刺骨,但这并不重要,因为我解锁了全新层次的纯粹快乐和个人成就感。)”可推知,作者的这次冲浪之旅充满挑战但收获满满,很有意义。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“While surfing might not be my lifelong passion, trying it out inspired me to take more risks in life. You never know what you are capable of if you don’t go out there and try. (尽管冲浪不会成为我毕生的爱好,但这次尝试激励我在生活中去承担更多风险。如果你不走出去尝试,你永远不会知道自己的能力。)”可推知,这次旅行后作者更愿意在生活中尝试新的体验了。

If you’re searching for scenic places, visiting wetlands probably won’t be high on your list. Although wetlands might not look very pretty, they serve important ecological functions such as water filtration, flood protection, carbon storage, and providing habitats for a diverse range of plant and animal species.
With the exception of Antarctica, wetlands exist naturally on every continent. There are many different types of wetlands on Earth, including bogs, swamps, and marshes. Along with rain forests, they are among the most diverse places on Earth. In addition to naturally occurring wetlands, humans are creating artificial ones for a number of purposes related to water management.
One of the main benefits of wetlands is that they can prevent floods. They do so by storing water and then slowly releasing it over time. Wetlands operate similarly to a sponge. When it rains heavily and water levels rise, they absorb the excess water. This prevents the excess water from entering streams and keeps the streams from overflowing. Then, when water levels become low, wetlands will release water. In many cases, wetlands offer a much more affordable solution than dams. However, it’s important to note that wetlands, like dams, can’t get away from all dangers from flooding. In cases of extremely heavy rainfall, wetlands can fill up and any additional water will flow into streams.
Wetlands can also play a part in water purification. Agricultural wastewater, industrial wastewater, and urban sewage are the main causes of water pollution. Wetlands contain plants and organisms that can reduce this pollution by filtering out unwanted substances such as chemicals, decomposing matter and sediment.
Wetlands play an important role in supporting local ecosystems by providing essential resources and habitats for various species, including fish, amphibians, and migratory birds. They can help to feed nearby fish by releasing vegetative matter into rivers. Also, many amphibians use wetlands as breeding grounds because wetlands provide them with places for food hunting and for reproduction. What’s more, some birds use wetlands for migration, as they can settle in trees and then hunt in the wetlands when they’re hungry.
Wetlands may not look pretty, but they’re capable of doing the dirty work required to keep our planet clean and ensure that the cycle of life remains unbroken.
12. What major environmental functions do wetlands have?
A. Producing fresh water and building dams. B. Limiting floods and cleaning polluted water.
C. Beautifying landscapes and attracting tourists. D. Changing the climate and growing rare plants.
13. Why does the author compare wetlands to a sponge?
A. To show its rich resources for wild animals.
B. To describe its muddy and wet natural appearance.
C. To stress its ability to clean polluted running water.
D. To explain how it holds and gradually releases water.
14. What does the underlined phrase “filtering out” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A. Removing. B. Enriching. C. Ignoring. D. Using.
15. What is the main writing purpose of the passage?
A. To classify different kinds of wetlands across the world.
B. To appeal to people to protect wetlands from being destroyed.
C. To explain why unattractive wetlands are ecologically essential.
D. To argue that wetlands are a better choice than man-made dams.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍了湿地的分布与类型,围绕湿地的多种生态功能展开说明,点明看似不美观的湿地对维持地球生态平衡有着不可替代的重要作用。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Although wetlands might not look very pretty, they serve important ecological functions such as water filtration, flood protection, carbon storage, and providing habitats for a diverse range of plant and animal species. (尽管湿地外观平平无奇,它们却发挥着包括滤水、防洪、碳储存、为多种动植物提供栖息地在内的重要生态功能。)”、第三段“One of the main benefits of wetlands is that they can prevent floods. (湿地的主要作用之一是防洪。)”及第四段“Wetlands can also play a part in water purification. (湿地还可用于净化水质。)”可知,湿地的主要环境功能是限制洪水及净化污染水。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“They do so by storing water and then slowly releasing it over time. Wetlands operate similarly to a sponge. When it rains heavily and water levels rise, they absorb the excess water. This prevents the excess water from entering streams and keeps the streams from overflowing. Then, when water levels become low, wetlands will release water. (湿地通过储水再缓慢排水来防洪,湿地的运作方式和海绵类似。暴雨涨水时,湿地吸纳多余水量,避免河水泛滥;枯水期再缓缓供水。)”可推知,作者将湿地比作海绵是为了解释湿地储存并逐渐释放水的工作方式。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“Wetlands can also play a part in water purification. Agricultural wastewater, industrial wastewater, and urban sewage are the main causes of water pollution. Wetlands contain plants and organisms that can reduce this pollution by filtering out unwanted substances such as chemicals, decomposing matter and sediment. (湿地还能净化水体。农业、工业、城市污水是主要污染源。湿地中的植物和生物可以通过filtering out化学物质、腐败物、沉积物这类无用杂质来减少污染。)”可推知,净化污染需要去除无用的有害物质,因此“filtering out”意思是移除、去除,对应A选项Removing。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章首段“Although wetlands might not look very pretty, they serve important ecological functions such as water filtration, flood protection, carbon storage, and providing habitats for a diverse range of plant and animal species. (尽管湿地外观平平无奇,它们却发挥着包括滤水、防洪、碳储存、为多种动植物提供栖息地在内的重要生态功能。)”及尾段“Wetlands may not look pretty, but they’re capable of doing the dirty work required to keep our planet clean and ensure that the cycle of life remains unbroken. (湿地虽颜值不高,但它们承担了保持地球清洁所需的脏活并保障生命循环不间断。)”并结合全文对湿地生态作用的介绍,可推知本文的写作目的是解释为何不起眼的湿地在生态层面必不可少。
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。
Do you ever feel a little more relaxed after walking around barefoot on the grass or sand? ____16____ It’s a practice that allows people to directly connect their bodies with the Earth and use its natural electrical charges to stabilize them.
By practicing earthing, you can focus on reconnecting your energy with the earth through direct or indirect contact. ____17____ You can play in the dirt: dig into the earth and get the soil between your fingers. You can create a garden in your yard and directly link to the energy in the dirt.
____18____ That may replace the direct connection you’d get being barefoot outside. Grounding carpets, blankets, and socks bring Earth’s electrical currents into the home or office by copying the physical connectivity of a nature walk.
Earthing can be a free and relatively easy way to positively impact your physical and mental well-being. ____19____ Research shows that people who used grounding carpets for four weeks decreased exhaustion, sleep disruptions, and improved length of sleep. They also reported an improvement in their depression, stress, and pain.
If you want to give earthing a try, there are a few important things to remember. ____20____ It requires patience and perseverance. If you’re new to the idea of earthing, you should find a professional to lead you. And once you’ve got the ball rolling, go full steam ahead. The more you work on grounding yourself, the faster you’ll begin seeing improvements.
While it isn’t something that should be used alone to treat a condition, earthing can potentially be part of self-care routine.
A. You can take a walk on grass, across the sand or in the mud.
B. Earthing, like other forms of treatment, isn’t a quick treatment.
C. When going outside is not an option, just ground yourself indoors.
D. That’s the idea behind earthing, which is also known as grounding.
E. Be observant of yourself and your surroundings and stay in the moment.
F. Experts suggest 30 minutes a day on earthing is enough to enjoy the benefits.
G. Research shows little connection between earthing and health improvements.
【答案】16. D 17. A 18. C 19. F 20. B

【导语】文章主要介绍了“接地”(earthing)这一概念,即通过身体与地球直接接触来稳定身心,并提供了多种实践方式及注意事项。
【16题详解】
根据前文“Do you ever feel a little more relaxed after walking around barefoot on the grass or sand?(你有没有觉得光脚在草地或沙滩上走过后会更放松一些?)”以及后文“It’s a practice that allows people to directly connect their bodies with the Earth and use its natural electrical charges to stabilize them.(这是一种让人们将身体与地球直接连接,并利用其自然电荷来稳定自己的做法。)”可知,前文提出问题,后文解释这一现象,空处应起到承上启下的作用,引出“接地”这一概念,D选项“That’s the idea behind earthing, which is also known as grounding.(这就是“接地”背后的理念,也被称为“接地(疗法)”。)”中的“That”指代前文描述的现象,同时引出“earthing”这一术语,符合语境。
【17题详解】
根据前文“By practicing earthing, you can focus on reconnecting your energy with the earth through direct or indirect contact.(通过练习接地,你可以专注于通过直接或间接接触,让你的能量重新与地球连接。)”以及后文“You can play in the dirt: dig into the earth and get the soil between your fingers. You can create a garden in your yard and directly link to the energy in the dirt.(你可以在泥土里玩耍:挖进土里,让泥土夹在你的手指间。你可以在院子里建一个花园,直接与泥土中的能量连接。)”可知,前文提到通过直接或间接接触接地,后文列举了具体的户外活动方式,空处应具体说明一种户外接地方式与后文并列,A选项“You can take a walk on grass, across the sand or in the mud.(你可以在草地上散步,穿过沙滩或在泥地里行走。)”与后文列举的“玩泥土”“建花园”形成并列,都是户外直接接地的方式。
【18题详解】
根据前文列举的户外接地方式,以及后文“That may replace the direct connection you'd get being barefoot outside. Grounding carpets, blankets, and socks bring Earth’s electrical currents into the home or office by copying the physical connectivity of a nature walk.(这可以替代你在户外光脚获得的直接连接。接地地毯、毯子和袜子通过模仿自然散步的身体连接方式,将地球的电流带入家庭或办公室。)”可知,后文提到了在室内使用的接地产品,空处应起到过渡作用,引出室内接地的替代方案,C选项“When going outside is not an option, just ground yourself indoors.(当无法外出时,就在室内接地。)”既承接了前文的户外方式,又引出后文的室内接地产品,起到承上启下的作用。
【19题详解】
根据前文“Earthing can be a free and relatively easy way to positively impact your physical and mental well-being.(接地可以是一种免费且相对简单的方式,对你的身心健康产生积极影响。)”以及后文“Research shows that people who used grounding carpets for four weeks decreased exhaustion, sleep disruptions, and improved length of sleep.

【20题详解】
根据前文“If you want to give earthing a try, there are a few important things to remember.(如果你想尝试接地,有几件重要的事情要记住。)”以及后文“It requires patience and perseverance. If you’re new to the idea of earthing, you should find a professional to lead you.(它需要耐心和毅力。如果你对接地这个理念还不熟悉,你应该找一位专业人士来引导你。)”可知,前文提到有几点重要事项要记住,后文提到需要耐心和坚持、寻求专业指导等,空处应概括说明接地不是一蹴而就的,B选项“Earthing, like other forms of treatment, isn't a quick treatment.(接地和其他形式的治疗一样,不是一种快速见效的治疗方法。)”与后文的“patience and perseverance”相呼应,符合语境。

【解析】
【导语】文章讲述了托尔金每年圣诞节为孩子们手写并配图的圣诞老人来信,信件内容充满奇幻故事,却不包含常见的“乖孩子才有礼物”的警告。
【46题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:信封上写的是托尔金孩子们的名字。address(写地址,致函)是谓语动词,与主语It之间是被动关系,即“信封被写上地址”;讲述过去的事情,应用一般过去时的被动语态;主语为单数代词,be动词用was。
【47题详解】
考查介词。句意:这封信会是谁寄来的呢?句中表示信“来自”谁,用介词from。
【48题详解】
考查形容词。句意:里面会有一封圣诞老人手写的信。提示词handwrite(手写)在句中修饰名词letter,应用形容词handwritten(手写的)作定语。
【49题详解】
考查副词。句意:这些信件也配有精美的插图——每一封想必都耗费了其真正作者托尔金很长时间来完成。提示词beautiful(美丽的)在句中修饰动词illustrated,应用副词形式beautifully(精美地)作状语。
【50题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这些信件也配有精美的插图——每一封想必都耗费了其真正作者托尔金很长时间来完成。take sb. some time to do sth.为固定句型,意为“花费某人时间做某事”,用不定式to complete。
【51题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:这些信讲述了圣诞老人在北极的生活和冒险故事。名词adventure(冒险)在此处作宾语,指多个冒险经历,应用复数形式adventures。
【52题详解】
考查介词。句意:这些信件中一个经常出现的角色是北极熊,它有一次爬上了北极,却从圣诞老人家的屋顶上掉了下来。句中表示“圣诞老人家的屋顶”,用介词of表示所属关系。
【53题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在另一封信中,圣诞老人抱怨他无法阻止他的助手们玩玩具,而不是把它们包装起来。stop sb. (from) doing sth.为固定搭配,意为“阻止某人做某事”,用动名词playing作宾语。
【54题详解】
考查副词。句意:有趣的是,这些信并没有包含通常对孩子们的警告,说如果他们不乖就可能收不到礼物。提示词Interesting(有趣的)在句中修饰整个句子,应用副词形式Interestingly(有趣的是)作状语;句首单词首字母大写。
【55题详解】
考查同位语从句。句意:有趣的是,这些信并没有包含通常对孩子们的警告,说如果他们不乖就可能收不到礼物。此处为同位语从句,解释warnings的具体内容,从句中不缺成分且意义完整,应用连接词that引导该从句。
B
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
____56____ (date) back to the 18th century, Peking Opera has over two hundred years of history. Does this mean it’s ____57____ (easy) than a Shakespeare play to understand? ____58____ (find) out the answer, I just had to go and see The Revenge of Prince Zidan — The Peking Opera version of Hamlet.
Starting with an orchestra playing traditional Chinese instruments, the opera ____59____ (bring) a completely new sound to my Western ears. At first, I thought ____60____ I heard was a violin, but later I learnt that it was an instrument with two strings ___61___ (call) jinghu. Then, seeing the main characters come on stage, I was surprised! The costumes and masks were amazing. The performers of course sang in Chinese, ____62____ the music, exaggerated movements and mime helped get the meanings ____63____ to the audience. The voices themselves sounded really unique — some of the female voices were so high that I was sure they could break glass! And the stage was really simple: a ____64____ (decorate) whip represented a horse, and a screen with Chinese characters, a study. Using such ____65____ (technique), the opera had transformed a small stage into the whole universe.
【答案】56. Dating
57. easier 58. To find
59. brought
60. what 61. called
62. but 63. across
64. decorated
65. techniques
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了作者为了验证京剧是否比莎士比亚戏剧更容易理解,前去观看京剧版《哈姆雷特》(《王子复仇记》),并分享了观看京剧的体验与感受。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:京剧起源于18世纪,拥有超过两百年的历史。 句子主干为“Peking Opera has over two hundred years of history”,空格处作状语,date back to意为“起源于,追溯到”,该短语无被动语态,逻辑主语Peking Opera与date之间为主动关系,需用现在分词形式Dating。
【57题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:这是否意味着京剧比莎士比亚的戏剧更容易理解呢? 句中出现比较级标志词than,需用形容词easy的比较级形式easier。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:为了找出答案,我前去观看了京剧版《哈姆雷特》——《王子复仇记》。此处表示前往观看的目的,需用不定式作目的状语to find,句首单词首字母大写。
【59题详解】
考查时态。句意:开场是以管弦乐团演奏中国传统乐器,这部京剧给我这个听惯西方音乐的耳朵带来了全新的听觉体验。本文描述作者过去观看京剧的经历,整体用一般过去时,因此此处用动词bring的过去式brought。
【60题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:一开始,我以为我听到的是小提琴,后来我才知道那是一种叫做京胡的双弦乐器。thought后接宾语从句,从句中动词heard缺少宾语,指代“听到的声音”,因此用连接代词what引导从句。
【61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:一开始,我以为我听到的是小提琴,后来我才知道那是一种叫做京胡的双弦乐器。 空格处作后置定语修饰名词instrument,instrument与动词call之间是被动关系,即“被叫做京胡的乐器”,因此用过去分词形式called。
【62题详解】
考查连词。句意:当然表演者是用中文演唱的,但是旋律、夸张的动作和哑剧表演帮助向观众传达意思。前半句说唱词是中文(外国观众本可能听不懂),后半句说表演元素帮助传达含义,前后为转折关系,因此用转折连词but。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意:当然表演者是用中文演唱的,但是旋律、夸张的动作和哑剧表演帮助向观众传达意思。get sth. across to sb.是固定搭配,意为“向某人传达某物”,符合此处语境, 故填介词across。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:舞台布景十分简约:一根装饰过的鞭子代表一匹马,一块写着汉字的幕布就代表一间书房。 空格处作定语修饰名词whip,whip与动词decorate之间是被动关系,即“被装饰过的鞭子”,因此用过去分词形式decorated。
【65题详解】
考查名词。句意:运用这些技巧,京剧把小小的舞台变成了一整个天地。上文提到了多种舞台表现技巧,此处表示复数概念,因此用名词technique的复数形式techniques。

It started innocently enough, as most things do. My son Nick had been eager to try rock climbing and he needed a partner. As a 45-year-old mother, I am not a physical person at all. But I still decided to join him in a training class. The first time I reached the top and returned safely to the ground, I was flooded with a mix of emotions. My body trembled, as I had pushed myself harder than I ever thought possible, but I had accomplished it.
Four months into my climbing journey, I had an accident while doing rock climbing. I am not sure what exactly happened, but I believe my foot missed a hold on the way down. I didn’t land properly and injured my lower back. I was taken to hospital by ambulance. I feared that I would never return to rock climbing and I said to Nick sadly, “A piece of me would slip away. It would be forgotten and lie passive forever. I couldn’t let that happen.”
It took nearly three months before I felt strong enough to give it another try. Nick was supportive throughout the process. I made it halfway up, but then panic set in. I felt like I had let myself and Nick down. He reassured me, telling me not to worry, to take my time, and to try a different route when I was ready. Fifteen minutes later, I chose a different path. I kept reminding myself that I could change my mind at any time. Along the way Nick guided me and encouraged me. To my surprise, I made it to the top and back to the ground safely.
Rock climbing was doing wonders for me. It has not only enhanced my physical and mental strength but also implanted in me a newfound sense of confidence. Moreover, it serves as an excellent opportunity for Nick and me to strengthen our bond, while encouraging me to explore more possibilities, embodying the spirit of pushing myself to the limits.
4. Why did the author join rock climbing at first?
A. To keep her son company. B. To step out of comfort zone.
C. To seek adventure and enjoyment. D. To improve her physical condition.
5. What can we infer from the author’s words to her son in paragraph 2?
A. She was eager to show her physical capacities.
B. She was concerned about disconnecting with Nick.
C. She feared losing self-identity gained from climbing.
D. She valued the new insight developed from climbing.
6. What was the key to the success of the author’s first try after recovery?
A. Nick’s backing. B. Her passion.
C. Her experience. D. Her doctor’s encouragement.
7. Which of the following is the best title of the text?
A. Facing up to the Next Challenge B. Reaching for a Lifelong Ambition
C. Pushing Boundaries with Rock Climbing D. Improving Competence Through Doing Sports
C
It was a cold May morning when I received an email from an old friend inviting me to join a 10-day all-girls surfing trip. I knew I had to say yes. The trip seemed simple enough. 10 women aged 30 to 45, all complete strangers, were to meet on the coast of Portugal to try something new: surfing in the Atlantic Ocean. I have always loved traveling, so I eagerly sent an email to my boss asking for time off to make the trip.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned over my past 33 years, it’s that adults typically spend their days mastering the things they’ve done before. It seems like we pride ourselves on becoming experts in whatever field we’ve fallen into, knowing more about less. Now, in theory, this is a great strategy, as it allows you to become really good at one particular thing, but it also may end up leaving some skills lacking.
I met my new surfing companions on the lawn of the hotel in a small surf town called Ericeira. Despite our different personalities and backgrounds, we were all united in a strong desire to challenge ourselves, learn, tackle issues and grow.
The shores at Ericeira, where the beginners learn to surf, are shallow and covered with slippery rocks. They make for softer waves but are difficult to ride.
Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves. Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us, but we were still out there. And with every slip and fall, words of encouragement filled the air. Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn’t matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked.
Learning a new skill taught me the humility that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you’ve been working on. While surfing might not be my lifelong passion, trying it out inspired me to take more risks in life. You never know what you’re capable of if you don’t go out there and try.
8. What inspired the author to join the surfing trip?
A. Her love for seashore surfing. B. Her desire to make new friends.
C. Her need to take a break from work. D. Her desire for exploring something new.
9. What does the author think of adults’ focusing on mastering one field?
A. It narrows one’s potential. B. It hurts one’s pride.
C. It broadens one’s view of the world. D. It promotes one’s career success.
10. Which adjectives can best describe the author’s surfing experience?
A. Relaxing but dangerous. B. Challenging but rewarding.
C. Tough and uninteresting. D. Surprising and unforgettable.
11. What can be inferred about the author?
A. She used to lack confidence in herself.
B. She was determined to become an expert surfer.
C. She discovered her lifelong passion after the trip.
D. She was more willing to try new experiences in life.
D
If you’re searching for scenic places, visiting wetlands probably won’t be high on your list. Although wetlands might not look very pretty, they serve important ecological functions such as water filtration, flood protection, carbon storage, and providing habitats for a diverse range of plant and animal species.
With the exception of Antarctica, wetlands exist naturally on every continent. There are many different types of wetlands on Earth, including bogs, swamps, and marshes. Along with rain forests, they are among the most diverse places on Earth. In addition to naturally occurring wetlands, humans are creating artificial ones for a number of purposes related to water management.
One of the main benefits of wetlands is that they can prevent floods. They do so by storing water and then slowly releasing it over time. Wetlands operate similarly to a sponge. When it rains heavily and water levels rise, they absorb the excess water. This prevents the excess water from entering streams and keeps the streams from overflowing. Then, when water levels become low, wetlands will release water. In many cases, wetlands offer a much more affordable solution than dams. However, it’s important to note that wetlands, like dams, can’t get away from all dangers from flooding. In cases of extremely heavy rainfall, wetlands can fill up and any additional water will flow into streams.
Wetlands can also play a part in water purification. Agricultural wastewater, industrial wastewater, and urban sewage are the main causes of water pollution. Wetlands contain plants and organisms that can reduce this pollution by filtering out unwanted substances such as chemicals, decomposing matter and sediment.
Wetlands play an important role in supporting local ecosystems by providing essential resources and habitats for various species, including fish, amphibians, and migratory birds. They can help to feed nearby fish by releasing vegetative matter into rivers. Also, many amphibians use wetlands as breeding grounds because wetlands provide them with places for food hunting and for reproduction. What’s more, some birds use wetlands for migration, as they can settle in trees and then hunt in the wetlands when they’re hungry.
Wetlands may not look pretty, but they’re capable of doing the dirty work required to keep our planet clean and ensure that the cycle of life remains unbroken.
12. What major environmental functions do wetlands have?
A. Producing fresh water and building dams. B. Limiting floods and cleaning polluted water.
C. Beautifying landscapes and attracting tourists. D. Changing the climate and growing rare plants.
13. Why does the author compare wetlands to a sponge?
A. To show its rich resources for wild animals.
B. To describe its muddy and wet natural appearance.
C. To stress its ability to clean polluted running water.
D. To explain how it holds and gradually releases water.
14. What does the underlined phrase “filtering out” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A. Removing. B. Enriching. C. Ignoring. D. Using.
15. What is the main writing purpose of the passage?
A. To classify different kinds of wetlands across the world.
B. To appeal to people to protect wetlands from being destroyed.
C. To explain why unattractive wetlands are ecologically essential.
D. To argue that wetlands are a better choice than man-made dams.

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。
Do you ever feel a little more relaxed after walking around barefoot on the grass or sand? ____16____ It’s a practice that allows people to directly connect their bodies with the Earth and use its natural electrical charges to stabilize them.
By practicing earthing, you can focus on reconnecting your energy with the earth through direct or indirect contact. ____17____ You can play in the dirt: dig into the earth and get the soil between your fingers. You can create a garden in your yard and directly link to the energy in the dirt.
____18____ That may replace the direct connection you’d get being barefoot outside. Grounding carpets, blankets, and socks bring Earth’s electrical currents into the home or office by copying the physical connectivity of a nature walk.
Earthing can be a free and relatively easy way to positively impact your physical and mental well-being. ____19____ Research shows that people who used grounding carpets for four weeks decreased exhaustion, sleep disruptions, and improved length of sleep. They also reported an improvement in their depression, stress, and pain.
If you want to give earthing a try, there are a few important things to remember. ____20____ It requires patience and perseverance. If you’re new to the idea of earthing, you should find a professional to lead you. And once you’ve got the ball rolling, go full steam ahead. The more you work on grounding yourself, the faster you’ll begin seeing improvements.
While it isn’t something that should be used alone to treat a condition, earthing can potentially be part of self-care routine.
A. You can take a walk on grass, across the sand or in the mud.
B. Earthing, like other forms of treatment, isn’t a quick treatment.
C. When going outside is not an option, just ground yourself indoors.
D. That’s the idea behind earthing, which is also known as grounding.
E. Be observant of yourself and your surroundings and stay in the moment.
F. Experts suggest 30 minutes a day on earthing is enough to enjoy the benefits.
G. Research shows little connection between earthing and health improvements.
