Welcome to the beautiful Italian city—Rimini!
When you think about Rimini, you probably picture the beach. It was the first place on the continent (大陆) that truly defined the beach vacation as we know it today: days spent under sun umbrellas, meals outdoors, dancing into the evening, and then doing it all over again the next day. So, take a closer look at this enjoyable city on the Adriatic Sea!
Top things to do
● For the price of a deckchair (帆布躺椅) and an umbrella, you get access to a private beach area, which includes bathrooms, showers, changing rooms, a playground, a restaurant, and a bar.
● You can visit the Fellini Museum, which hosts film screenings (放映) and cultural events.
● Given its location within the pancake-flat Po River Valley, Rimini is highly suitable for getting around by bike. There is a network of clearly marked paths and plenty of places to lock up a bike.
● Cross the ancient Roman Tiberius Bridge (also known as Ponte di Tiberio) to reach the sweet Borgo San Giuliano, a former fishing village. Visitors can admire the colorful street art of Borgo.
Best time to visit
If youˈre coming to Rimini for its amazing beach scene, you should visit from mid-June to early September. Crowds will peak (达到高峰) in July and August, reaching their highest point in mid-August due to Italyˈs national cultural holiday. If you visit during this period, you should reserve your hotel and beach loungers in advance.

It was in the early 2000s. I stood on the corner of a street in Abu Dhabi, with my two little boys, trying to catch a taxi when one came to a stop in front of us.
The three of us piled into the back of the vehicle and I gave the driver the location, hardly giving him a second look. He was just the driver of the taxi. Who notices taxi drivers anyway?
As usual, the boys had hardly settled in when they began bickering (争吵) over some silly issues. Soon, it had turned into a fistfight (拳斗) between the two, with me reduced to a useless bystander after vain (徒劳的) attempts at sorting it out. I finally sighed and gave up, turning to look out of the window.
“A healthy fight between brothers is a good sign. Let them be,” came a soft voice from in front of me. I turned and met the driver’s eyes in the rear-view mirror (后视镜). “It’s a natural growing-up stage. Enjoy it while you can,” he added.
Enjoy my boys fighting like cats and dogs? I said to myself. He probably guessed what I was thinking because he continued with a twinkle in his grey eyes. “Yes, sister,” he said. “You should enjoy it when you can. Look at me. Even if I wish for it, I cannot see my children grow up, let alone fight!”
That began a conversation between us. The man had left his wife and children back in Pakistan, living as he did far away in a different country in order to provide a good life for them. He had missed their first baby steps, their first words, and so many valuable milestones.
Suddenly, the man was no longer just a taxi driver. He had a family to take care of. He had good days and bad days. And he had hopes and dreams. The conversation between the taxi driver and me lasted through the duration of the ride and its effects lasted much longer for me.
4. What did the author do after she got into the taxi?
A. She started chatting with the driver.
B. She observed the driver for a while.
C. She paid little attention to the driver.
D. She forgot to tell the driver their destination.
5. How did the taxi driver respond to the two boys’ fight?
A. He turned around and blamed them. B. He considered it natural.
C. He thought it was silly. D. He pulled his taxi over.
6. What can we learn about the taxi driver from the text?
A. He lived a comfortable life.
B. He enjoyed entertaining others.
C. He gave up his childhood dream.
D. He missed many important moments in his children’s lives.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Let children be themselves.
B. Respect people from all walks of life.
C. Keep a balance between work and family.
D. A short chat makes a big difference to life.
C
Community service, often defined as voluntary work intended to help people in a particular area, has been added to high school curricula(课程) worldwide.
One of the main reasons for adding community service to high school education is its obvious impact on personal growth and development. Through community service, students gain valuable life skills that traditional classroom instruction may not fully provide. Moreover, community service provides a real-world context for students to apply academic(学术的) knowledge. For example, a student interested in biology might volunteer at a local animal shelter or take part in conservation projects, gaining practical experience that enriches his/her understanding of classroom theories. Another important benefit of community service is that it helps high school students develop social responsibility and social awareness. By doing community service activities, students become more aware of societal issues. And they will realize the importance of contributing to the common good.
Despite its benefits, the introduction of community service to high school curricula is not without challenges. One common concern is that community service may add more stress to high school students who are already under a lot of pressure. Balancing academics, extracurricular activities and personal affairs can be hard, and community service might make them more tired and stressed.
Additionally, the quality and accessibility of community service opportunities can be different in different areas. Students in schools or communities with few resources may have fewer opportunities for meaningful service experiences. This actually widens the gap between students.
In conclusion, while community service in high school presents certain challenges, its benefits for personal growth and academic enrichment are clear. By adding community service to high school curricula, educators can equip students with essential life skills, develop their sense of public duty and increase their social awareness. Community service not only prepares students for future academic and professional plans but also shapes helpful citizens who are willing to make a positive difference to their communities.
8. What does the author want to tell us in paragraph 2?
A. The benefits of community service.
B. The importance of learning life skills.
C. The advantages of gaining practical experiences.
D. The necessity of developing social responsibility.
9. What’s the concern about adding community service to high school education?
A. It leads to decrease in extracurricular activities.
B. It challenges traditional classroom instruction.
C. It increases students’ pressure.
D. It affects school work.
10. According to paragraph 4, what may lead to unfairness between students?
A. The different academic tasks. B. The unequal access to resources.
C. The lack of social awareness. D. The individual differences.
11. What does the author think of community service?
A. It takes up too much of students’ study time.
B. It should be promoted worldwide.
C. It aims to develop academic talents.
D. It has a positive influence on students.
D
The 60-foot-tall rocket took off in West Texas, sending a group of six people into space and giving them a few minutes of weightlessness before they landed by parachute (降落伞).
Most of the passengers paid a secret sum of money for their seats. But Katya Echazarreta, an engineer and science communicator, was selected by a nonprofit organization to join in this travel from a pool of thousands of applicants. The organization’s goal is to send great leaders into space and allow them to experience the overview effect, which was reported by astronauts who said that viewing the Earth from space gave them a great change in their view.
“Looking down, you see everyone is down there, all of our past, all of our difficulties, everything — everything is there,” Echazarreta said. “When I came back down, it just completely strengthened my wish to continue enabling people of different backgrounds to go into space and do whatever they want.”
Echazarreta is the first Mexican-born woman to travel into space. She moved to the United States with her family at the age of seven. She recalled that she felt uncertain in a new place where she didn’t speak the language and that a teacher warned her that she might have to repeat a grade. “It just really fueled me and after that, I just studied harder,” Echazarreta said. Later she became the main breadwinner in her family. Sometimes she had up to four jobs at the same time, just to try to successfully graduate from college.
She worked in NASA before and didn’t see other female engineers like her, which inspired her to popularize science among the public. These days, Echazarreta is studying for her master’s degree in engineering at Johns Hopkins University. She also has more than 330,000 fans on TikTok, and hosts a science-focused YouTube series.
12. Why was Echazarreta chosen to travel into space?
A. She was considered to be an excellent person.
B. She was an expert in landing by parachute.
C. She supported the project with a big sum of money.
D. She made great efforts to set up a nonprofit organization.
13. What was in Echazarreta’s mind after she returned from space travel?
A. To share the beauty of space on social media. B. To encourage the public to learn science.
C. To help more people travel into space. D. To make women scientists known to the public.
14. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “fueled” in Paragraph 4?
A. Beat. B. Attracted. C. Confused. D. Drove.
15. What kind of person is probably Echazarreta?
A. Calm and confident. B. Inspiring and hardworking.
C. Humorous and outgoing. D. Talented and creative.

Growing a garden is great fun. Flowers bring color and sweet smells into our lives. Homegrown carrots and tomatoes are delicious. Whether your garden takes up a corner of your yard, or a corner of a windowsill (窗台), it’s easy to be successful by following a few simple guidelines.
___16___ Look around your house, yard, or apartment. Think carefully about the space available, as well as the time and effort you want to devote to your project.

Once you have determined the size of your garden, you are ready to choose what to plant. ___18___ When choosing plants, consider the size and location of your garden and how much sun it will get. Sunflowers need lots of room and sunlight. Other plants do well in the shade (阴凉处). ___19___
After you have decided on your favorite flowers or vegetables, the next step is to make a budget. Make a list of everything you will need, including seeds (种子), soil, containers, and tools.
When everything is ready, it is time to plant! ___20___ Plants usually come with a label which includes instructions on care.

Coaches always want their players to stand out. So they are likely to give them a lot of ____21____. When they coach their players, they would possibly ____22____ every mistake. The ____23____ is that the players are aware of various mistakes they need to correct.
As a tennis coach, Gallwey took the same ____24____ originally. Over time, however, he noticed that when he gave his players ____25____ advice, they progressed even faster. What stood in the way of their ____26____ was not a shortage of information, but a loss of the autonomy (自主性) — they were ____27____ to follow every detail the coach required. Gallwey began to realize that too much ____28____ was equal to interference (干扰) that often produced opposite results.
This idea isn’t just limited to ____29____. Trying too hard often produces ____30____ results. To take an obvious example, if parents want their children to do well at school, they tend to control their studying schedule, ____31____ their extra-curricular activities, and offer attractive rewards (奖励) for good grades. It may be ____32____ in the short term, but in the long run, the children don’t know how to encourage themselves and ____33____ to develop a natural interest in studying.

I fell in love with Katrina right away. She was new to our school, but she didn’t seem shy or nervous. She smiled at everyone, even on the first day of class. Unluckily, we only got to enjoy that smile for the first three days of school. Our teacher told us that Katrina had cancer (癌症) and would be in the hospital.
Some of my friends in my class and I decided to go to see her in the hospital. She had just moved to a new town and didn’t even get a chance to make friends with anyone yet. We wanted to keep her company. That was how we came to know Katrina and how much fun she really was.
It was awkward at first because we didn’t know what to talk about, but when she started telling us about her hospital adventures, we were all laughing. And before we knew it, we had been there for almost three hours. She told us about the kid in the room next to her who would get up and pull the fire alarm for absolutely no reason. And sure enough, while we were sitting with her, the fire alarm went off. We all laughed when nobody feared and escaped. And she told us how much she missed her little animals: a rabbit, a bird, cats, dogs, etc. Later, her mom told us that her favorite thing was to go to the Humane Society and adopt (收养) the poorest animal. She always managed to take it home and make it beautiful.
After that day, we continued visiting her. We could see she was hopeful that she would eventually recover. However, during one of our visits, she learned from doctors that she only had a 50% chance to recover. She was quite scared, crying, “I don’t want to die.” And we heard her family was having economic problems and that her single mom was having little time to help take care of her animals. Suddenly, she felt her world became dark; she grew anxious and helpless.
We told her we were there to fight with her. We wouldn’t let her go.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式作答。
After returning to school, we wondered how to support her.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, her cancer was gone and she would go home on her birthday and have a party.

It was the first place on the continent (大陆) that truly defined the beach vacation as we know it today: days spent under sun umbrellas, meals outdoors, dancing into the evening, and then doing it all over again the next day.( 当你想到里米尼时,脑海中可能浮现出海滩的景象。这里曾是大陆上第一个真正定义了我们今天所熟知的海滨度假方式的地方:在遮阳伞下度过的时光、户外用餐、夜晚尽情舞动,然后第二天再重复这一切。)”可知,当你想到里米尼时,首先想到的就是海滩,它是真正定义了现代海滩度假的地方。因此,里米尼最著名的是海滩度假。

He probably guessed what I was thinking because he continued with a twinkle in his grey eyes. “Yes, sister,” he said. “You should enjoy it when you can. Look at me. Even if I wish for it, I cannot see my children grow up, let alone fight!”
That began a conversation between us. The man had left his wife and children back in Pakistan, living as he did far away in a different country in order to provide a good life for them. He had missed their first baby steps, their first words, and so many valuable milestones.
Suddenly, the man was no longer just a taxi driver. He had a family to take care of. He had good days and bad days. And he had hopes and dreams. The conversation between the taxi driver and me lasted through the duration of the ride and its effects lasted much longer for me.

A. She started chatting with the driver.
B. She observed the driver for a while.

6. What can we learn about the taxi driver from the text?

【导语】文章讲述作者带着两个孩子在阿布扎比打车,途中兄弟二人打闹,原本被她视作普通陌生人的出租车司机主动开导她,并倾诉自己远走他乡、错过孩子成长诸多重要瞬间的遗憾。短短一路交谈改变了作者看待他人的心态,带给她长久触动。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The three of us piled into the back of the vehicle and I gave the driver the location, hardly giving him a second look. He was just the driver of the taxi. Who notices taxi drivers anyway?(我们三人挤进车后座,我告诉司机目的地,几乎没再看他一眼。他只是个出租车司机。反正谁会注意出租车司机呢?)”可知,作者上车后几乎没怎么注意司机。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段““A healthy fight between brothers is a good sign. Let them be,” came a soft voice from in front of me. “It’s a natural growing-up stage. Enjoy it while you can,” he added.(“兄弟间健康的争吵是个好迹象。随他们去吧,”我前方传来一个温柔的声音。“这是自然的成长阶段。趁你还能享受就好好享受吧,”他补充道)”可知,出租车司机认为两个男孩的打架很自然。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“He had missed their first baby steps, their first words, and so many valuable milestones.(他错过了他们迈出的第一步,他们说出的第一个词,以及那么多宝贵的成长里程碑)”可知,出租车司机错过了孩子们生活中许多重要时刻。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Suddenly, the man was no longer just a taxi driver. He had a family to take care of. He had good days and bad days. And he had hopes and dreams. The conversation between the taxi driver and me lasted through the duration of the ride and its effects lasted much longer for me.(一瞬间,这名男子在我眼中不再只是一位出租车司机。他有需要照料的家人,有顺心与失意的时刻,心中也怀揣着期许与梦想。我和这位司机一路畅谈,这段车程里的对话,带给我的感触久久未能消散)”可知,作者带着两个孩子在阿布扎比打车,途中兄弟二人打闹,原本被她视作普通陌生人的出租车司机主动开导她,并倾诉自己远走他乡、错过孩子成长诸多重要瞬间的遗憾。短短一路交谈改变了作者看待他人的心态,带给她长久触动,所以D选项“一次简短的聊天对生活产生重大影响”最适合作为标题。
C
Community service, often defined as voluntary work intended to help people in a particular area, has been added to high school curricula(课程) worldwide.
One of the main reasons for adding community service to high school education is its obvious impact on personal growth and development. Through community service, students gain valuable life skills that traditional classroom instruction may not fully provide. Moreover, community service provides a real-world context for students to apply academic(学术的) knowledge. For example, a student interested in biology might volunteer at a local animal shelter or take part in conservation projects, gaining practical experience that enriches his/her understanding of classroom theories. Another important benefit of community service is that it helps high school students develop social responsibility and social awareness. By doing community service activities, students become more aware of societal issues. And they will realize the importance of contributing to the common good.
Despite its benefits, the introduction of community service to high school curricula is not without challenges. One common concern is that community service may add more stress to high school students who are already under a lot of pressure. Balancing academics, extracurricular activities and personal affairs can be hard, and community service might make them more tired and stressed.
Additionally, the quality and accessibility of community service opportunities can be different in different areas. Students in schools or communities with few resources may have fewer opportunities for meaningful service experiences. This actually widens the gap between students.
In conclusion, while community service in high school presents certain challenges, its benefits for personal growth and academic enrichment are clear. By adding community service to high school curricula, educators can equip students with essential life skills, develop their sense of public duty and increase their social awareness. Community service not only prepares students for future academic and professional plans but also shapes helpful citizens who are willing to make a positive difference to their communities.
8. What does the author want to tell us in paragraph 2?
A. The benefits of community service.
B. The importance of learning life skills.
C. The advantages of gaining practical experiences.
D. The necessity of developing social responsibility.
9. What’s the concern about adding community service to high school education?
A. It leads to decrease in extracurricular activities.
B. It challenges traditional classroom instruction.
C. It increases students’ pressure.
D. It affects school work.
10. According to paragraph 4, what may lead to unfairness between students?
A. The different academic tasks. B. The unequal access to resources.
C. The lack of social awareness. D. The individual differences.
11. What does the author think of community service?
A. It takes up too much of students’ study time.
B. It should be promoted worldwide.
C. It aims to develop academic talents.
D. It has a positive influence on students.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D

【导语】本文是一篇议论文,主要围绕将社区服务纳入高中课程这一话题展开,既论述了社区服务对高中生的诸多益处,也分析了推行该举措面临的挑战,最后作者总结了社区服务对学生成长发展的积极价值。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。通过阅读第二段内容可知,该段首句“One of the main reasons for adding community service to high school education is its obvious impact on personal growth and development.(将社区服务纳入高中教育的主要原因之一,是它对个人成长和发展具有明显的影响。)”点明段落主旨:社区服务纳入高中教育对个人成长发展有显著作用,并在该段后文通过“Through community service, students gain valuable life skills that traditional classroom instruction may not fully provide. Moreover, community service provides a real-world context for students to apply academic knowledge.(通过社区服务,学生能够获得传统课堂教学难以完全提供的宝贵生活技能。此外,社区服务为学生提供了应用学术知识的现实场景。)”以及“Another important benefit of community service is that it helps high school students develop social responsibility and social awareness.(社区服务的另一个重要益处是,它有助于高中生培养社会责任感和社会意识。)”详细讲述了其益处。因此,整段围绕社区服务的诸多益处展开。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“One common concern is that community service may add more stress to high school students who are already under a lot of pressure.(一个普遍的担忧是,社区服务可能会给本就承受巨大压力的高中生带来更多的压力。)”可知,人们担忧该举措会增加学生的压力。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容“Additionally, the quality and accessibility of community service opportunities can be different in different areas. Students in schools or communities with few resources may have fewer opportunities for meaningful service experiences. This actually widens the gap between students.(此外,不同地区社区服务机会的质量和可及性可能存在差异。资源匮乏的学校或社区的学生可能获得有意义的服务体验的机会更少,这实际上拉大学生之间的差距。)”可知,不同地区社区服务资源、机会不均;资源匮乏地区的学生缺少有意义的实践机会,拉大学生间差距。因此,资源获取的不平等会造成学生之间的不公平。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章末尾段内容“In conclusion, while community service in high school presents certain challenges, its benefits for personal growth and academic enrichment are clear.(总之,尽管高中阶段的社区服务存在一些挑战,但其对个人成长和学业拓展带来的益处是显而易见的。)”可知,作者认为社区服务对学生有积极影响。

The 60-foot-tall rocket took off in West Texas, sending a group of six people into space and giving them a few minutes of weightlessness before they landed by parachute (降落伞).
Most of the passengers paid a secret sum of money for their seats. But Katya Echazarreta, an engineer and science communicator, was selected by a nonprofit organization to join in this travel from a pool of thousands of applicants. The organization’s goal is to send great leaders into space and allow them to experience the overview effect, which was reported by astronauts who said that viewing the Earth from space gave them a great change in their view.
“Looking down, you see everyone is down there, all of our past, all of our difficulties, everything — everything is there,” Echazarreta said. “When I came back down, it just completely strengthened my wish to continue enabling people of different backgrounds to go into space and do whatever they want.”
Echazarreta is the first Mexican-born woman to travel into space. She moved to the United States with her family at the age of seven. She recalled that she felt uncertain in a new place where she didn’t speak the language and that a teacher warned her that she might have to repeat a grade. “It just really fueled me and after that, I just studied harder,” Echazarreta said. Later she became the main breadwinner in her family. Sometimes she had up to four jobs at the same time, just to try to successfully graduate from college.
She worked in NASA before and didn’t see other female engineers like her, which inspired her to popularize science among the public. These days, Echazarreta is studying for her master’s degree in engineering at Johns Hopkins University. She also has more than 330,000 fans on TikTok, and hosts a science-focused YouTube series.
12. Why was Echazarreta chosen to travel into space?
A. She was considered to be an excellent person.
B. She was an expert in landing by parachute.
C. She supported the project with a big sum of money.
D. She made great efforts to set up a nonprofit organization.
13. What was in Echazarreta’s mind after she returned from space travel?
A. To share the beauty of space on social media. B. To encourage the public to learn science.
C. To help more people travel into space. D. To make women scientists known to the public.
14. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “fueled” in Paragraph 4?
A. Beat. B. Attracted. C. Confused. D. Drove.
15. What kind of person is probably Echazarreta?
A. Calm and confident. B. Inspiring and hardworking.
C. Humorous and outgoing. D. Talented and creative.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B

The organization’s goal is to send great leaders into space and allow them to experience the overview effect, which was reported by astronauts who said that viewing the Earth from space gave them a great change in their view.(但工程师兼科学传播者Katya Echazarreta则是由一家非营利组织从数千名申请者中挑选出来参与此次旅行的。该组织的目标是将杰出的领导者送入太空,让他们体验总览效应。据宇航员们描述,从太空俯瞰地球会让他们的人生观发生巨大转变)”可知,Katya Echazarreta之所以被选中进入太空,是因为她被认为是一个优秀的人。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“When I came back down, it just completely strengthened my wish to continue enabling people of different backgrounds to go into space and do whatever they want.(当我返回地面时,这更加坚定了我继续帮助不同背景的人进入太空、实现他们心愿的决心)”可知,Echazarreta从太空旅行回来后,她想要帮助更多的人进入太空。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“She recalled that she felt uncertain in a new place where she didn’t speak the language and that a teacher warned her that she might have to repeat a grade.(她回忆道,在一个她不熟悉且不懂当地语言的地方,她感到很不安。一位老师还警告她,她可能会不得不重读一个年级)”以及“after that, I just studied harder(从那以后,我就更加努力地学习)”可知,Echazarreta在新地方感到不确定,老师还警告她可能会留级,这反而激发了她,让她更加努力地学习。故fueled意思是“激发,促使”。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“She moved to the United States with her family at the age of seven. She recalled that she felt uncertain in a new place where she didn’t speak the language and that a teacher warned her that she might have to repeat a grade. “It just really fueled me and after that, I just studied harder,” Echazarreta said. Later she became the main breadwinner in her family. Sometimes she had up to four jobs at the same time, just to try to successfully graduate from college.(七岁时,她随家人移居到了美国。她回忆道,在一个她不会说当地语言的新环境中,她感到很迷茫,而且一位老师还警告她,她可能不得不重读一个年级。“这真的给了我很大的动力,之后我就更加努力学习了。”Echazarreta说道。后来,她成为了家里的主要经济支柱。有时她同时会做多达四个工作,只为努力顺利从大学毕业)”和最后一段“She worked in NASA before and didn’t see other female engineers like her, which inspired her to popularize science among the public. These days, Echazarreta is studying for her master’s degree in engineering at Johns Hopkins University. She also has more than 330,000 fans on Tik Tok, and hosts a science-focused YouTube series.(她之前曾在美国国家航空航天局工作,未曾见过像她一样的其他女性工程师,这促使她致力于向公众普及科学知识。如今,Echazarreta正在约翰斯·霍普金斯大学攻读工程学硕士学位。她在 TikTok上拥有超过33万名粉丝,并主持着一个以科学为主题的YouTube系列节目)”可知,Echazarreta是一个鼓舞人心且勤奋的人。故选B。

考查动词时态和语态。句意:克劳迪娅·戈尔丁1946年出生于纽约,是哈佛大学教授,因在女性劳动力市场方面的研究,于2023年10月被授予诺贝尔经济学奖。根据时间状语“in October, 2023”可知,此处描述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时,且Claudia Goldin与award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Claudia Goldin是第三人称单数,所以用was awarded。
【37题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:她发现女性的工资通常比男性低。根据空后的“than men”可知,此处应用形容词比较级lower,意为“更低的”。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:她研究了200多年的美国数据,这些数据表明,从历史上看,性别工资差距在很大程度上可以用教育和工作方面的差异来解释。此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句,先行词是US data,指物,关系词在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:她研究了200多年的美国数据,这些数据表明,从历史上看,性别工资差距在很大程度上可以用教育和工作方面的差异来解释。此处修饰整个句子,应用副词historically,意为“从历史角度,在历史上”。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:在整个时期内,女性在劳动力市场的参与率呈U型,19世纪早期,随着社会从农业向工业转变,已婚女性的参与率有所下降,但在20世纪早期,随着服务业的发展,这一比例又开始上升,她的研究表明。此处表示“一种U型”,是泛指,且U - shaped是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意:在整个时期内,女性在劳动力市场的参与率呈U型,19世纪早期,随着社会从农业向工业转变,已婚女性的参与率有所下降,但在20世纪早期,随着服务业的发展,这一比例又开始上升,她的研究表明。此处修饰名词women,应用形容词married,意为“已婚的”。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意:在整个时期内,女性在劳动力市场的参与率呈U型,19世纪早期,随着社会从农业向工业转变,已婚女性的参与率有所下降,但在20世纪早期,随着服务业的发展,这一比例又开始上升,她的研究表明。根据空前的the及空后的of可知,此处应填名词,grow的名词形式为growth,意为“增长,发展”。
【43题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:经济科学奖委员会主席雅各布·斯文森在一份声明中表示:“很明显,了解女性在劳动力市场中的作用对社会很重要。多亏了戈尔丁的研究,我们现在对导致性别工资差距的因素有了更深入的理解,也知道了未来可能需要应对哪些挑战。”be equipped with为固定短语,意为“具备,装备有”,所以此处填with。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意:经济科学奖委员会主席雅各布·斯文森在一份声明中表示:“很明显,了解女性在劳动力市场中的作用对社会很重要。多亏了戈尔丁的研究,我们现在对导致性别工资差距的因素有了更深入的理解,也知道了未来可能需要应对哪些挑战。”“a deeper understanding of the factors contributing to the gender pay gap”与“which challenges may need...”之间是并列关系,所以用and连接。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:经济科学奖委员会主席雅各布·斯文森在一份声明中表示:“很明显,了解女性在劳动力市场中的作用对社会很重要。多亏了戈尔丁的研究,我们现在对导致性别工资差距的因素有了更深入的理解,也知道了未来可能需要应对哪些挑战。”need doing = need to be done,意为“需要被……”,所以此处可填addressing或to be addressed。

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。
I fell in love with Katrina right away. She was new to our school, but she didn’t seem shy or nervous. She smiled at everyone, even on the first day of class. Unluckily, we only got to enjoy that smile for the first three days of school. Our teacher told us that Katrina had cancer (癌症) and would be in the hospital.
Some of my friends in my class and I decided to go to see her in the hospital. She had just moved to a new town and didn’t even get a chance to make friends with anyone yet. We wanted to keep her company. That was how we came to know Katrina and how much fun she really was.
It was awkward at first because we didn’t know what to talk about, but when she started telling us about her hospital adventures, we were all laughing. And before we knew it, we had been there for almost three hours. She told us about the kid in the room next to her who would get up and pull the fire alarm for absolutely no reason. And sure enough, while we were sitting with her, the fire alarm went off. We all laughed when nobody feared and escaped. And she told us how much she missed her little animals: a rabbit, a bird, cats, dogs, etc. Later, her mom told us that her favorite thing was to go to the Humane Society and adopt (收养) the poorest animal. She always managed to take it home and make it beautiful.
After that day, we continued visiting her. We could see she was hopeful that she would eventually recover. However, during one of our visits, she learned from doctors that she only had a 50% chance to recover. She was quite scared, crying, “I don’t want to die.” And we heard her family was having economic problems and that her single mom was having little time to help take care of her animals. Suddenly, she felt her world became dark; she grew anxious and helpless.
We told her we were there to fight with her. We wouldn’t let her go.

【答案】范文
After returning to school, we wondered how to support her. Soon, we worked out ways. The next day, we started a fundraiser, which saw all students, parents, and staff were enthusiastic. That day, we ended up raising over $4,500. To further support Katrina, we took her animals home and helped take care of them. Moreover, we visited her as much as we could. And we gave her cards and gifts to cheer her up. Her room looked like a gift shop after a while. Gradually, Katrina became more hopeful and her smiles returned.
Finally, her cancer was gone and she would go home on her birthday and have a party. We were all excited to be invited to her party. On her birthday, we brought Katrina cakes, gifts, etc. And we celebrated her birthday and her success in survival by dancing, singing songs and playing games. Katrina and her mother quite thanked us for our support during their hardest time. Days later, when Katrina became strong enough, she returned to school and had fun with us again. We were already more than just classmates; we were also close friends.
