I.阅读理解
I used to believe that only words could catch
the essence(本质)of the human soul.The liter-
ary works contained such distinct stories that
they shaped the way we saw the world.Words
were what composed the questions we sought to
uncover and the answers to those questions them-
selves.Words were everything.
That belief changed.
In an ordinary math class,my teacher posed
a simple question:What's 0.99 rounded to the
nearest whole number?Easy.When rounded to
the nearest whole number,0.99-1.Somehow,I
thought even though 0.99 is only 0.01 away from
1,there's still a 0.01 difference.That means e-
ven if two things are only a little different,they
are still different,so doesn't that make them
completely different?
My teacher answered my question by presen-
ting another equation(等式):l=0.9,which
could also be expressed as 1=0.99999...repeating
itself without ever ending.
There was something mysterious but attrac-
tive about the equation.The left side was un-
changeable,objective:it contained a number that
ended.On the right was something endless,
number repeating itself limitless times.Yet,
somehow,these two opposed things were con-
nected by an equal sign.
Lying in bed,I thought about how much the
equation paralleled our existence.The left side of
the equation represents that sometimes life itself
is so unchangeable and so clear.The concrete,
whole number of the day when you were born and
the day when you would die.But then there is
that gap in between life and death.The right side
means a time and space full of limitless possibili-
ties,and endless opportunities into the open fu-
ture.
So that's what life is.Objective but imagina-
tive.Unchangeable but limitless.Life is an equa-
tion with two sides that balances itself out.Still,
we can't ever truly seem to put the perfect words
to it.So possibly numbers can express ideas as
equally well as words can.For now,let's leave it
at that:1=0.99999...and live a life like it.

[语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲的
是作者在数学课上学了一个等式后的一些感悟。
l.D[推理判断题。根据第一段“I used to be-
lieve that only words could catch the essence
(本质)of the human soul.The literary works
contained such distinct stories that they shaped
the way we saw the world.Words were what
composed the questions we sought to uncover
and the answers to those questions themselves.
(我曾经相信,只有语言才能捕捉到人类灵魂的
本质。文学作品包含了如此独特的故事,它们
塑造了我们看待世界的方式。文字构成了我们
试图揭示的问题,以及这些问题本身的答案。)”
可推知,在第一段作者主要强调了语言的表达
力量,故选D。]
2.D[细节理解题。根据第五段“There was
something mysterious but attractive about the
equation.The left side was unchangeable,ob-
jective:it contained a number that ended.On
the right was something endless,number re-
peating itself limitless times.Yet,somehow,
these two opposed things were connected by an
equal sign,(这个方程式神秘而迷人。左边是不
变的、客观的:它包含了一个结束了的数字。右
边是无穷无尽的东西,数字无限重复。然而,不
知怎么的,这两个相反的东西被一个等号连接
起来了。)”可知,作者觉得这个等式很迷人,因
为数字虽然不同,但是却被等号连接起来了。
由此可知,让作者觉得这个等式迷人的是两个
不同的数相等的方式。故选D。]

3.B[词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“The left
side of the equation represents that sometimes
life itself is so unchangeable and so clear.The
concrete,whole number of the day when you
were born and the day when you would die.
But then there is that gap in between life and
death.(等式的左边表示有时候生命本身是如此
的不可改变,如此的清晰。你出生的日期和你
死亡的日期的具体整数。但是生与死之间有一
段距离。)”可知,作者躺在床上思考的是这个等
式与我们的存在是多么相似,划线词paralleled
的意思是“与…十分相似”,和mirrored意思
相近,故选B。]
4.A[主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第四段
"My teacher answered my question by presen-
ting another equation(等式):l=0.9,which
could also be expressed as 1=0.99999...re-
peating itself without ever ending.(我的老师给
出了另一个等式:1=0.9,也可以表示为1=
0.99999.·不断重复,没有尽头。)”和第五段
"There was something mysterious but...two
opposed things were connected by an equal
sign.(这个方程式神秘而迷人。左边是不变的、
客观的:它包含了一个结束了的数字。右边是
无穷无尽的东西,数字无限重复。然而,不知怎
么的,这两个相反的东西被一个等号连接起来
了。)”可知,本文主要讲的是作者在数学课上学
了一个等式后的一些感悟。由此可知,最恰当
的标题是A选项“The Perfect Equation(完美
的等式)”。故选A。]

为了帮助孩子取得更好的成绩,开始与孩子一
起学习,这激励着他去追求自己的学业。moti
vate sb to do sth为固定搭配,意为“激发某人做
某事”,此处为其被动语态形式sb be motivated
to do sth.。故填to pursue。]

被动语态,主语为Liu Aohan,be动词用was。
故填was admitted。]
5.distracted[考查形容词。句意:刘奥涵曾经沉
迷于游戏而分心。根据空前的become可知,此
处应用形容词作表语,表示“分心的”。distract-
ed意为“分心的”,符合题意。故填distracted。]
6.Therefore,/Thus/Consequently[考查副词。
句意:因此,他的父亲决定和他一起学习,目的
是帮助他集中注意力,有效学习,克服困难。上
文提到“刘奥涵曾经沉迷于游戏而分心”,下文
提到“他的父亲决定和他一起学习”,上下文之
间是因果关系,此处表示“因此”或“所以”的意
思,应用副词therefore/,thus/consequently,位
于句首,首字母需大写。故填Therefore/Thus/
Consequently。]

反身代词为myself。故填myself。]
l0.expressing[考查非谓语动词。句意:在收到
大学录取通知书后,刘先生给儿子写了一封深
情的信,表达了他深深的自豪和最好的祝愿。
此处为非谓语动词作状语,express与逻辑主语
Liu之间为主动关系,应用现在分词。故填ex
pressing。]
Ⅲ.读后续写
One sunny afternoon,I was playing in the
backyard when I noticed a beautiful shiny piece of
paper lying on the table.It was leftover alumi-
num foil(锡纸)from a package my mum had
opened.I picked it up and was immediately at-
tracted by its sparkling appearance.Curiosity got
the best of me,and I couldn't help but ask my
dad about it.
“Dad,what is this paper called?It's so shiny
and beautiful!"I inquired,holding the aluminum
foil up for him to see.
My dad chuckled and replied,"That's called
aluminum foil,and it has many uses.
Naturally,my curiosity was piqued(激发),
and I eagerly asked,“What can it be used for?”
My dad smiled and said,"Why don't you re-
search it yourself?It'll be a great opportunity for
you to learn something new.
With a sense of excitement,I grabbed my
phone and started researching on the Internet.I
found out that it is a type of metal paper called a-
luminum foil,which is moisture-proof(防潮的).
As I looked through the information,an idea
popped into my head.What if I put some water in
a small aluminum foil container and heated it in
the microwave?Would the water boil?
Unable to resist the urge to experiment,I
cut a piece of aluminum foil and folded it into a
small square container.I added some water into

the container and placed it in the microwave.
With my eyes wide open,I anxiously watched the
aluminum foil container,filled with anticipation.
But before I could see any changes in the water,
suddenly a burst of fire erupted from the micro-
wave,surprising me.I quickly rushed to unplug
the appliance and collapsed onto the floor,feeling
a great fear.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
My dad,hearing the sound,hurried over and
asked,“What happened?”
Reflecting on my dad's instructive words,I
began cleaning the mess.
[参考范文]
My dad,hearing the sound,hurried over
and asked,“What happened?”I explained the
situation,feeling embarrassed and frightened by
the unexpected outcome.My dad comforted me
and explained patiently,"Metal should never be
put in the microwave.It can cause a fire risk.
Scientific experiments are serious and cannot be
conducted blindly.Therefore,be careful with the
way you do something and you'll be closer to your
goal."I listened to my dad's words and felt a
sense of relief,knowing that no one was hurt.
Reflecting on my dad's instructive words,I
began cleaning the mess.With gloves on,I
picked up the black bits of tin foil and glass pieces
across the kitchen floor and wiped away water
stains from the stove top.The cleaning process
felt like penning a reflective learning summary.I
understood knowledge without caution is a doub-
le-edged sword and that science experiments re-
quire precision and careful planning.I promise to
approach future experiments mindfully,seeking
guidance and aware of potential consequences.
