A former coal miner who overcame great challenges to earn a PhD from Beijing University of Technology has become an inspiration. His deeds went viral online, earning him praise as “a truly remarkable man”. He requested that his name not be made public as he did not wish to attract public attention, insisting that he only shared his deeds publicly to encourage other students.
The university confirmed that this student enrolled full-time from 2020 to 2025 and stressed that his journey is not a legend but reflects the determination of hard-working people. Not wanting to saddle his parents, he left home at 9 to practice martial arts and started work alongside his father in coal mines at 12. After high school, he took the college entrance exam twice, finally enrolling in vocational college at 19. His academic path was often different from peers. He needed two attempts for PhD admission. While others relaxed on holidays, he did tough jobs: on factory lines, construction sites, highways, and in dangerous coal mine areas.
For his PhD research, he spent a year doing fieldwork in Xinjiang. He credited his doctoral teacher with transforming his path, accepting him when desperate, offering crucial guidance and financial help when needed, and teaching essential skills and practical wisdom: “Face problems head on, build good connections, and be a friend of time.” He also thanked research group members, supportive professors, fellow students, an undergraduate roommate, and his girlfriend offering mutual support since he was 27. He expressed deep gratitude to his parents, his fighter father, and his gentle mother who sacrificed everything.
When it comes to his difficult times, he didn’t see them as “hardship”. “Anxiety and puzzlement are useless, while action is the most important. Eat when it’s time to eat and sleep when it’s time to sleep. Do things resolutely and strategically. Do not be afraid.” he said.
4. Why does the student post his deeds online?
A. To attract public attention. B. To gain online support.
C. To motivate others. D. To become a role model.
5. What does the underlined word “saddle” in paragraph 2 mean?

B. He entered university directly after high school.
C. He focused on studies and lacked some experience.
D. He faced multiple challenges and worked during holidays.
7. Which of the following can best describe the student?
A. Optimistic and determined. B. Lucky and carefree.
C. Anxious and hesitant. D. Dependent and passive.
C
The police in Pinellas County, Florida, have responded to countless calls from St. Pete Beach over the years, but a recent call from a local hotel guard asking for help rounding up some unwelcome visitors wasn’t an ordinary situation. The visitors hanging around the hotel were baby sea turtles!
“While most of us were sleeping, Mackesy, Lopez, and Wheeler responded to a call early this morning from a guard at a hotel on St. Pete Beach concerning baby sea turtles that had gotten very lost while making their first journey to the ocean,” the Pinellas County Police Office shared in a Facebook post.
According to the post, the hotel guard had already collected about 15 of the tiny turtles before calling for help. Once officers arrived, they continued to locate the confused turtles in the hotel pool, bushes, bathrooms and even in a water pipeline.
That’s when one of the officers contacted the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for some expert advice about what to do with the animals. The wildlife experts told the officers to bring the turtles to the beach and let them go to the ocean on their own.
According to the group Sea Turtle Trackers, which watches over turtle activity on St. Pete Beach and in Shell Key Preserve, newly hatched (刚孵化的) turtles use natural light to find their position and lead them to the ocean. Sometimes, though, artificial (人造的) light from nearby buildings can influence their directional system. This is likely how this group of little ones ended up moving toward the hotel where they were found.
The organization shared on Facebook that it plans to work more with St. Pete Beach Code Enforcement Department and the hotel in question “to educate them on the importance of wildlife-friendly lighting,”to help reduce these kinds of situations in the future. Safer practices would include using colored filters (滤光镜) on light sources to help avoid attracting the attention of newly hatched turtles.
8. What happened early that morning?
A. Someone got lost in Pinellas County. B. A guard called the police for protection.
C. A hotel was broken into by wild animals. D. Some sea turtles laid eggs on St. Pete Beach.
9. What do we know about the baby sea turtles?
A. They were placed in a hotel pool. B. They were found by a police officer.
C. They will be studied by wildlife experts. D. They will make their own way to the ocean.
10. What caused the baby sea turtles to move to the hotel?
A. Artificial noise. B. Hotel lighting.
C. The laws of nature. D. The waves of the ocean.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. A special rescue. B. A serious problem.
C. A shameful mistake. D. A successful journey.
D
There's something powerful about the idea that the definition of parenthood is changing and that men (and dads specifically) want to be a part of that change.
Trey Burley has been ahead of that change.
"I'm a stay-at-home dad,”says Burley of Alpharetta, Georgia. He has two sons. Jake is 12, and Charlie is ten. On the morning we visit, Burley brings Charlie to summer school,then cleans upstairs, and then drives both boys to camp."Twelve years ago, I felt more anomalous(反常的),” Burley says.
Twelve years ago, this story would have been about the anomalous stay-at-home dad. Today, it's about how staying at home and working from home has put us at a key point for a work-life balance.
"One of the things that we've heard from a number of men is that they didn't realize how much they were missing,” said Brigid Schulte, a writer who recently co-authored an article titled, "The Future of the Recent Flexible Work Revolution Depends on Men.”
Recent research from Harvard found that "almost 70% of fathers feel closer to their children during the COVID-19 pandemic.” That lines up with the rising number of studies, including many before the pandemic, that find fathers want to be more active at home.
"There's a big disconnect between what men say they want and what they're actually able to do,” Schulte said. "The fact that we don't support families with paid family leave or childcare or paid sick days, that we don't sort of admit that people have lives outside of work, makes it very difficult for men to choose to give care.”
"Every survey shows that men and women, people across parties, believe in family-supportive policies,” Schulte said. "That could have lasting effects, but only if they have workplaces that won't punish them for acting on that wish to be more involved in care.”
That brings us back to Burley.
"Upending(颠倒)the gender norms, I think that's great,”he said."Parenting is hard, it's challenging, but it's been a very enjoyable experience, every step of the moment.”
It's worth it for the moments. It's worth it for the time. As many dads have discovered, those moments and that time don't need to feel far, far away.
12. Why does the author use Burley's example?
A. To share men's ideas on housework.
B. To show the change in men's views.
C. To describe a stay-at-home dad's happiness.
D. To explain how men achieve a work-life balance.
13. What do the studies in paragraph 6 show?
A. Fathers welcome working from home.
B. Father-son relationships need improving.
C. The pandemic has increased fathers' anxiety.
D. Fathers did less housework before the pandemic.
14. According to Schulte, what makes it hard for men to give care?
A. Men are not used to doing it.
B. Men are too busy working to do it.
C. Some bosses don't encourage them to work from home.
D. Many men can't concentrate on their work at home.
15. What does Burley think of his present lifestyle?
A. It does good to his children' s growth. B. It inspires him to value his time.
C. It brings him much pleasure. D. It is worth learning from.
第二节七选五 (共5题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
With the weather turning cooler, most people turn to hot chocolate, coffee, and other warm drinks. ____16____. I can’t think of a better way to wake up. What’s more, it is good for one’s health.
____17____. However, it got me thinking — why put milk in tea, anyway? In fact, it’s a very British thing to do, and it has nothing to do with taste.
The British habit of putting milk in tea might date back to the 18th century. ____18____ However, most people couldn’t afford fine bone china cups, and the cups available (可用的) would crack from the heat of the hot tea.
The solution? ____19____. The cold milk cooled down the tea enough to keep the china from breaking, and, well, the reduced bitterness was just an added advantage! Tea was also expensive at the time, so families who couldn’t afford large amounts would add a large amount of milk and a small amount of tea, while well-off families would do the opposite.
____20____? The answer is: Not really. You can add as little or as much milk as you please — though adding milk first and then pouring (倒) the tea on top might make it taste better. This is because when you add hot tea to cold milk, you’re bringing the milk to the temperature of the tea, distributing the flavor (使味道分散) more evenly. However, if you add milk to tea, you’re cooling the tea down, and it may not taste as good.
A. I used to be a lover of Indian milk tea
B. Personally, though, I favour a hot cup of tea
C. Pour milk into the cup first, then add the tea
D. Is there a right way to drink your tea with milk
E. Does it taste better to add a large amount of milk into tea
F. The one thing I can’t get behind, though, is adding milk to my tea
G. Tea was a big deal at the time, and people drank it out of china cups

Vicky then contacted the owners of the free furniture. ____25____ she got it home, she began to set up the house as all mothers do. But she noticed something a little ____26____ about one of the chairs. It looked like something big was under its cover.
To her ____27____, she found some envelopes full of money! Instead of keeping it, she ____28____ right away she needed to contact the owners of the furniture set and give the money back. She didn’t even bother to ____29____ it. Even though it was a(n) ____30____ to make ends meet, Vicky never thought once about ____31____ it.
Much to her surprise, she later ____32____ there was over $36,000 in cash. The owners of the furniture had no idea! In fact, they didn’t know why their parents ____33____money by hiding envelopes of money in furniture.
Vicky’s ____34____ turned into a double blessing. Not only did she find free furniture, but she also got a(n) ____35____ from the owners of the furniture as well! They gave her $2,200 in cash to help her buy a new fridge that she badly needed.

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。
The Cycle of Kindness
I used to hate rainy days. They made my shoes wet, my bag heavy, and my mood low. Every morning, I would check the weather app, and if rain was forecast, I would let out a long sigh and take out the umbrella I kept in the cupboard. I never gave it much thought — until the day I carelessly left it behind.
That afternoon, the sky turned grey while I was buried in books in the library. By the time I stepped outside, the rain was pouring down heavily. I stood at the school gate, watching my classmates pull out their colorful umbrellas. With no choice but to run, I took a deep breath and rushed toward the bus stop. Water soaked (浸湿) through my collar, and my socks grew icy cold. Just as I reached the bus stop, a familiar voice called my name. It was Mr. Evans, the history teacher, holding out a large, bright blue umbrella. “You forgot yours today,” he said with a smile. “Use this one.”
I hesitated, but he insisted. “I have another one in my car. Go ahead — don’t catch a cold.”
I took it, and the difference was instant. The rain was still falling, but I stayed dry, and for the first time in months, the grey sky didn’t seem so depressing.
The next day, I went to see Mr. Evans to return the umbrella. Still with a smile on his face, he said, “It doesn’t belong to me. Another student gave it to me when I forgot mine the other day. So pass it on to anyone who needs it.” I was deeply moved and determined to find an opportunity to pass the kindness on.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Soon enough, my opportunity came along.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Amazingly, the umbrella found its way back to me months later.

For his PhD research, he spent a year doing fieldwork in Xinjiang. He credited his doctoral teacher with transforming his path, accepting him when desperate, offering crucial guidance and financial help when needed, and teaching essential skills and practical wisdom: “Face problems head on, build good connections, and be a friend of time.” He also thanked research group members, supportive professors, fellow students, an undergraduate roommate, and his girlfriend offering mutual support since he was 27. He expressed deep gratitude to his parents, his fighter father, and his gentle mother who sacrificed everything.
When it comes to his difficult times, he didn’t see them as “hardship”. “Anxiety and puzzlement are useless, while action is the most important. Eat when it’s time to eat and sleep when it’s time to sleep. Do things resolutely and strategically. Do not be afraid.” he said.

The police in Pinellas County, Florida, have responded to countless calls from St. Pete Beach over the years, but a recent call from a local hotel guard asking for help rounding up some unwelcome visitors wasn’t an ordinary situation. The visitors hanging around the hotel were baby sea turtles!
“While most of us were sleeping, Mackesy, Lopez, and Wheeler responded to a call early this morning from a guard at a hotel on St. Pete Beach concerning baby sea turtles that had gotten very lost while making their first journey to the ocean,” the Pinellas County Police Office shared in a Facebook post.
According to the post, the hotel guard had already collected about 15 of the tiny turtles before calling for help. Once officers arrived, they continued to locate the confused turtles in the hotel pool, bushes, bathrooms and even in a water pipeline.
That’s when one of the officers contacted the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for some expert advice about what to do with the animals. The wildlife experts told the officers to bring the turtles to the beach and let them go to the ocean on their own.
According to the group Sea Turtle Trackers, which watches over turtle activity on St. Pete Beach and in Shell Key Preserve, newly hatched (刚孵化的) turtles use natural light to find their position and lead them to the ocean. Sometimes, though, artificial (人造的) light from nearby buildings can influence their directional system. This is likely how this group of little ones ended up moving toward the hotel where they were found.
The organization shared on Facebook that it plans to work more with St. Pete Beach Code Enforcement Department and the hotel in question “to educate them on the importance of wildlife-friendly lighting,”to help reduce these kinds of situations in the future. Safer practices would include using colored filters (滤光镜) on light sources to help avoid attracting the attention of newly hatched turtles.
8. What happened early that morning?
A. Someone got lost in Pinellas County. B. A guard called the police for protection.
C. A hotel was broken into by wild animals. D. Some sea turtles laid eggs on St. Pete Beach.
9. What do we know about the baby sea turtles?
A. They were placed in a hotel pool. B. They were found by a police officer.
C. They will be studied by wildlife experts. D. They will make their own way to the ocean.
10. What caused the baby sea turtles to move to the hotel?
A. Artificial noise. B. Hotel lighting.
C. The laws of nature. D. The waves of the ocean.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. A special rescue. B. A serious problem.
C. A shameful mistake. D. A successful journey.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】

【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The wildlife experts told the officers to bring the turtles to the beach and let them go to the ocean on their own.( 野生动物专家建议警方将小海龟带到海滩,让它们自行游向大海。)”可知,根据野生动物专家的指示,这些小海龟会被带到海滩,自行进入大海。

【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“The police in Pinellas County, Florida, have responded to countless calls from St. Pete Beach over the years, but a recent call from a local hotel guard asking for help rounding up some unwelcome visitors wasn’t an ordinary situation. The visitors hanging around the hotel were baby sea turtles!( 佛罗里达州皮内拉斯县的警方多年来已接到过无数次来自圣彼得海滩的求助电话,但最近一次来自当地酒店保安的求助电话却非寻常。这些在酒店附近徘徊的“访客”竟是小海龟!)”可知,全文围绕警察接到求助后,救助误入酒店的迷路小海龟、将其送回大海的事件展开,核心是一次特殊的野生动物救援行动。

There's something powerful about the idea that the definition of parenthood is changing and that men (and dads specifically) want to be a part of that change.
Trey Burley has been ahead of that change.
"I'm a stay-at-home dad,”says Burley of Alpharetta, Georgia. He has two sons. Jake is 12, and Charlie is ten. On the morning we visit, Burley brings Charlie to summer school,then cleans upstairs, and then drives both boys to camp."Twelve years ago, I felt more anomalous(反常的),” Burley says.
Twelve years ago, this story would have been about the anomalous stay-at-home dad. Today, it's about how staying at home and working from home has put us at a key point for a work-life balance.
"One of the things that we've heard from a number of men is that they didn't realize how much they were missing,” said Brigid Schulte, a writer who recently co-authored an article titled, "The Future of the Recent Flexible Work Revolution Depends on Men.”
Recent research from Harvard found that "almost 70% of fathers feel closer to their children during the COVID-19 pandemic.” That lines up with the rising number of studies, including many before the pandemic, that find fathers want to be more active at home.
"There's a big disconnect between what men say they want and what they're actually able to do,” Schulte said. "The fact that we don't support families with paid family leave or childcare or paid sick days, that we don't sort of admit that people have lives outside of work, makes it very difficult for men to choose to give care.”
"Every survey shows that men and women, people across parties, believe in family-supportive policies,” Schulte said. "That could have lasting effects, but only if they have workplaces that won't punish them for acting on that wish to be more involved in care.”
That brings us back to Burley.
"Upending(颠倒)the gender norms, I think that's great,”he said."Parenting is hard, it's challenging, but it's been a very enjoyable experience, every step of the moment.”
It's worth it for the moments. It's worth it for the time. As many dads have discovered, those moments and that time don't need to feel far, far away.
12. Why does the author use Burley's example?
A. To share men's ideas on housework.
B. To show the change in men's views.
C. To describe a stay-at-home dad's happiness.
D. To explain how men achieve a work-life balance.
13. What do the studies in paragraph 6 show?
A. Fathers welcome working from home.
B. Father-son relationships need improving.
C. The pandemic has increased fathers' anxiety.
D. Fathers did less housework before the pandemic.
14. According to Schulte, what makes it hard for men to give care?
A. Men are not used to doing it.
B. Men are too busy working to do it.
C. Some bosses don't encourage them to work from home.
D. Many men can't concentrate on their work at home.
15. What does Burley think of his present lifestyle?
A. It does good to his children' s growth. B. It inspires him to value his time.
C. It brings him much pleasure. D. It is worth learning from.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述育儿观念发生转变,越来越多父亲愿意居家陪伴孩子,但相关政策与职场环境仍存在阻碍。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“There's something powerful about the idea that the definition of parenthood is changing and that men (and dads specifically) want to be a part of that change.(为人父母的定义正在改变,而且男性(尤其是父亲们)希望参与到这种变化中来,这种观点具有强大的影响力)”以及第二段“Trey Burley has been ahead of that change.(特雷·伯利一直走在这种变化的前沿)”可知,作者使用伯利的例子是为了展示男性观念的变化。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段“Recent research from Harvard found that “almost 70% of fathers feel closer to their children during the COVID-19 pandemic.”That lines up with the rising number of studies, including many before the pandemic, that find fathers want to be more active at home.(哈佛大学最近的研究发现,“在新冠疫情期间,近70% 的父亲感觉与孩子的关系更亲近了。”这与越来越多的研究结果一致,包括疫情之前的许多研究,这些研究发现父亲们希望在家中更加积极地参与(家庭事务))”可知,这些研究表明疫情前父亲在家务和育儿方面参与度较低。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据舒尔特所说的的第七段的“The fact that we don't support families with paid family leave or childcare or paid sick days, that we don't sort of admit that people have lives outside of work, makes it very difficult for men to choose to give care.(我们不支持带薪育儿假、带薪病假,也不承认人们在工作之外还有生活,这使得男性很难选择去承担照顾责任。)”和第八段的“That could have lasting effects, but only if they have workplaces that won't punish them for acting on that wish to be more involved in care.(这可能会带来持久的影响,但前提是他们的工作场所不会因他们希望更深入参与护理而受到惩罚。)”可知,舒尔特认为现实没有带薪育儿假、育儿帮扶、带薪病假,社会不承认人除了工作还有家庭生活;更关键的是:如果职场会因为员工想要多照顾家人而惩罚他们,男性就很难选择承担育儿工作。因此推断根据舒尔特所说的,一些老板不鼓励他们在家工作使得男人很难照顾孩子。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““Parenting is hard, it's challenging, but it's been a very enjoyable experience, every step of the moment.”(“育儿很艰难,具有挑战性,但每一步都非常愉快”)”可知,伯利认为他目前的生活方式给他带来很多快乐。
第二节七选五 (共5题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
With the weather turning cooler, most people turn to hot chocolate, coffee, and other warm drinks. ____16____. I can’t think of a better way to wake up. What’s more, it is good for one’s health.
____17____. However, it got me thinking — why put milk in tea, anyway? In fact, it’s a very British thing to do, and it has nothing to do with taste.
The British habit of putting milk in tea might date back to the 18th century. ____18____ However, most people couldn’t afford fine bone china cups, and the cups available (可用的) would crack from the heat of the hot tea.
The solution? ____19____. The cold milk cooled down the tea enough to keep the china from breaking, and, well, the reduced bitterness was just an added advantage! Tea was also expensive at the time, so families who couldn’t afford large amounts would add a large amount of milk and a small amount of tea, while well-off families would do the opposite.
____20____? The answer is: Not really. You can add as little or as much milk as you please — though adding milk first and then pouring (倒) the tea on top might make it taste better. This is because when you add hot tea to cold milk, you’re bringing the milk to the temperature of the tea, distributing the flavor (使味道分散) more evenly. However, if you add milk to tea, you’re cooling the tea down, and it may not taste as good.
A. I used to be a lover of Indian milk tea
B. Personally, though, I favour a hot cup of tea
C. Pour milk into the cup first, then add the tea
D. Is there a right way to drink your tea with milk
E. Does it taste better to add a large amount of milk into tea
F. The one thing I can’t get behind, though, is adding milk to my tea
G. Tea was a big deal at the time, and people drank it out of china cups
【答案】16. B 17. F 18. G 19. C 20. D
【解析】

What’s more, it is good for one’s health.(我想不出比这更好的起床方式了。而且,这样做对身体也有好处)”可知,设空处应与作者喜欢的一种热饮有关。B项“Personally, though, I favour a hot cup of tea(不过就我个人而言,我更喜欢一杯热茶)”承接前文并引出下文对茶的讨论,符合语境。故选B。
【17题详解】
上文“What’s more, it is good for one’s health.(此外,它对健康有益)”在夸赞茶的好处。空后“However, it got me thinking — why put milk in tea, anyway?(但这让我思考 —— 到底为什么要在茶里加牛奶呢?)”话锋一转,提及茶里加牛奶的问题。F项“The one thing I can’t get behind, though, is adding milk to my tea(不过有一件事我实在无法接受,那就是在茶里加牛奶)”承上启下,既衔接前文对茶的喜爱,又引出后文关于加牛奶的探讨,符合语境。故选F。
【18题详解】
上文“The British habit of putting milk in tea might date back to the 18th century.(英国人喝茶加牛奶的习惯或许可以追溯到18世纪)”提出该习惯的起源时间。空后“However, most people couldn’t afford fine bone china cups, and the cups available (可用的) would crack from the heat of the hot tea.(然而,大多数人买不起精致的骨瓷茶杯,而且市面上能买到的杯子会被热茶的高温烫裂)”出现转折,提及茶杯的问题。G项“Tea was a big deal at the time, and people drank it out of china cups(那时茶是很重要的东西,人们会用瓷杯喝茶)”承接前文的18世纪背景,又为后文的茶杯问题做铺垫,符合语境。故选G。
【19题详解】
上文“The solution?(解决办法是什么呢?)”提出设问,询问解决茶杯被烫裂的办法。空后“The cold milk cooled down the tea enough to keep the china from breaking(冷牛奶将茶的温度充分降低,防止瓷杯破裂)”解释了该办法的原理。C项“Pour milk into the cup first, then add the tea(先把牛奶倒进杯子里,再倒茶)”直接回答前文的设问,且与后文的原理阐释相呼应,符合语境。故选C。
【20题详解】
空后“The answer is: Not really. You can add as little or as much milk as you please(答案是:其实没有。你可以根据自己的喜好加多或少的牛奶)”是对某个问题的回答,且内容围绕喝茶加牛奶的方法展开。D项“Is there a right way to drink your tea with milk(喝茶加牛奶有正确的方法吗)”提出的问题恰好能被后文内容回答,符合语境。故选D。

考查非谓语动词。句意:一条沿着峭壁修建的1526米长的道路,将中国北方山西省与世隔绝的神龙湾村与外界连接了起来。分析句子结构可知,本句已有谓语动词has connected,此处应用非谓语动词,road与build之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词built作后置定语,修饰road,表示“被修建的道路”。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:多年前,位于太行山深处的神龙湾村村民过着艰苦的生活。live a...life为固定短语,意为“过着……的生活”,所以此处用不定冠词a。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他们不得不沿着峭壁攀爬台阶,或者被迫绕道经过八个城镇才能到达长治市市区。此处用动词不定式作目的状语,表示绕道的目的是到达长治市市区。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:为了将这个与世隔绝的村庄与外界连接起来,当地村民于1985年开始修建一条道路,经过15年的艰苦努力后完工。“15 years of hard work”表示“15年的艰苦努力”,of在此处表示所属关系。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:自2000年这条悬崖公路投入使用以来,神龙湾村独特的景观吸引了更多的游客,尤其是书法、摄影和绘画爱好者。根据时间状语“in 2000”可知,此处描述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时,且the cliff road与put之间是被动关系,所以用一般过去时的被动语态,其结构为“was/were +过去分词”,主语the cliff road是单数,所以用was put。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:自2000年这条悬崖公路投入使用以来,神龙湾村独特的景观吸引了更多的游客,尤其是书法、摄影和绘画爱好者。此处修饰名词短语“calligraphy, photography and painting lovers”,表示强调,应用副词especially,意为“尤其,特别”。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:许多在外打工的村民已经回来帮助发展旅游业,并为游客提供民宿服务。此处为关系词引导的定语从句,先行词是Many villagers,指人,关系词在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词who或that。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:到2015年底,由于这条道路带动的旅游业发展,神龙湾村的当地人已经摆脱了贫困。根据语境及谓语动词“had freed”可知,此处应用名词复数locals表示泛指,意为“当地人”,作主语。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:到2015年底,由于这条道路带动的旅游业发展,神龙湾村的当地人已经摆脱了贫困。根据前面的定冠词the及语境可知,此处应用名词development,意为“发展”,作介词to的宾语。
【45题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:这个村庄每年接待数十万游客,村民的生活得到了极大改善。根据时间状语“every year”可知,此处描述经常性的动作,应用一般现在时,主语The village是第三人称单数,所以谓语动词用receives。

The Cycle of Kindness
I used to hate rainy days. They made my shoes wet, my bag heavy, and my mood low. Every morning, I would check the weather app, and if rain was forecast, I would let out a long sigh and take out the umbrella I kept in the cupboard. I never gave it much thought — until the day I carelessly left it behind.
That afternoon, the sky turned grey while I was buried in books in the library. By the time I stepped outside, the rain was pouring down heavily. I stood at the school gate, watching my classmates pull out their colorful umbrellas. With no choice but to run, I took a deep breath and rushed toward the bus stop. Water soaked (浸湿) through my collar, and my socks grew icy cold. Just as I reached the bus stop, a familiar voice called my name. It was Mr. Evans, the history teacher, holding out a large, bright blue umbrella. “You forgot yours today,” he said with a smile. “Use this one.”
I hesitated, but he insisted. “I have another one in my car. Go ahead — don’t catch a cold.”
I took it, and the difference was instant. The rain was still falling, but I stayed dry, and for the first time in months, the grey sky didn’t seem so depressing.
The next day, I went to see Mr. Evans to return the umbrella. Still with a smile on his face, he said, “It doesn’t belong to me. Another student gave it to me when I forgot mine the other day. So pass it on to anyone who needs it.” I was deeply moved and determined to find an opportunity to pass the kindness on.

【答案】范文
Soon enough, my opportunity came along. One dark afternoon, as raindrops began to fall, I noticed a freshman girl standing alone under the narrow edge of the building. She bent her shoulders forward against the wind, holding her textbooks tightly to her chest. Without hesitation, I walked over and handed her the same blue umbrella. “Here,” I said softly, “pass it on when you can.” Her eyes lit up with relief, and as she thanked me, a warm feeling spread through me — I finally understood Mr. Evans’ smile.
Amazingly, the umbrella found its way back to me months later. I was on the way to the gym that day when I was caught in a sudden downpour. Just as I was about to rush through the rain, a boy from the science club called out, “Wait! Take this.” To my astonishment, I found him holding out the very same blue umbrella, now slightly worn but unmistakable. I stood there, amazed by the simple beauty of this cycle — a small act of kindness, connecting us all with love in the rain.
