Rock climbing, one of the fastest growing sports, not only builds physical strength and mental focus, but also leads you to some beautiful places. Here are some climbing spots for climbers.
Acadia National Park, Maine
This popular New England park is one of the few places where you can climb seaside rocks. The granite (花岗岩) is good for climbing. In some areas, you need to start when the sea is at its lowest level. The area has guides, instructors and climbing schools, making it particularly welcoming for beginners.
More information: nps.gov/acad
City of Rocks, Idaho
This national reserve near the Utah border is worth a trip for the scenery alone. Named by gold miners heading to California in 1849, its granite looks like skyscrapers, towering 600 feet above the ground. It’s a fascinating area from a geologic and geographic angle. Many visitors come for August’s Idaho Mountain Festival, a celebration of climbing with top athletes in attendance.
More information: nps.gov/ciro
Red River Gorge, Kentucky
This geological area in Daniel Boone National Forest is prized for its climbing routes and rock scenery. The park, located an hour’s drive southeast of Lexington, is well known in the climbing world for both beginner-friendly terrain(地形)and more challenging sections. It’s a place where you can find a lot of fellow climbers.
More information: fs.usda.gov/recarea
Earth Treks Englewood, Colorado
While you can find climbing gyms across the country, this one just south of Denver is worth a special trip. With 53,000 square feet, the massive facility has a special rock climbing area, a group of guides and even extras like childcare and yoga.

One quiet afternoon in France in her studio, wood crafting (木工技艺) artist Hua Yong found herself watching water boil. Without thinking, she reached for her phone and refreshed the screen. At that very moment, she realized how much modern life is consumed by speed. “We are completely swept up by the fast pace of life,” she said. “It’s becoming harder to find time to unwind among the everyday chaos of life.”
Hua Yong, the 2024 receiver of the Hand of Wisdom prize, a Sino-French crafts exchange program, spent two months in Paris last year, a rare stretch of uninterrupted time that allowed her to reflect on the act of creation. She began experimenting with simple geometric (几何的) forms, repeating them to create visual effects that seemed to go beyond time and space. “I thought about how to create something new from nothing, and used the highest standards of traditional Chinese craftsmanship to bring these ideas to life,” she said.
“Wood crafting requires the investment of time,” she noted. Her exhibition Changing the World in Silence at Yishu 8, an art platform in Beijing, marked the highlight of a year’s reflection. Running through mid-June, the show featured 25 pieces, 11 of which were created after her Paris residency. Among the works was a vortex-like (漩涡状的) table, which drew the viewer’s mind into a different dimension. “We hope all the crafts here quietly accompany the viewers, bringing a brief mental escape and a moment of relaxation,” described Hua.
“The changes in her work’s form between movement and stillness are projections of conceptual unrest,” said Su Dan, the artistic director of Hand of Wisdom, observing Hua’s shift since her return. “She has long engaged with Chinese traditional materials and been constantly thinking. Works created in such a state of reflection become models of design philosophy: They are short-lived, yet everlasting.”
24. Why did Hua Yong reach for her phone in Paragraph 1?
A. She felt like taking a photo.
B. She tried to have a rest among chaos.
C. She intended to make a call.
D. She had formed the habitual behavior.
25. What change did Hua Yong make after her Sino-French crafts exchange program?
A. She integrated Sino-French wood crafts.
B. She applied geometric shapes creatively.
C. She shifted to rare and simple materials.
D. She adopted digital techniques flexibly.
26. What do we know about the works in Changing the World in Silence?
A. They relied hardly on handwork.
B. They mirrored the rush of modern life.
C. They featured mental relaxation.
D. They were well-appreciated by viewers.
27. What does Su Dan imply about Hua Yong?
A. She underwent life unrest in Paris.
B. She deserted wood craft traditions.
C. Her works turn out the best models.
D. Her works convey a consistent idea.

Maths phobia (恐惧症) is older than you might think. A hundred years ago, German physicist Felix Auerbach, feeling sad about the phenomenon and hoping to find ways to solve it, wrote a book called The Fear of Mathematics and How to Overcome It. Maths, he said, has so much to contribute to society that solving this fear is a challenge of the highest importance.
Why do we fear mathematics? At heart, says Auerbach, it comes down to a fundamental misunderstanding of what maths is. The fear of messing up a calculation may be real, but the fact that there are many excellent mathematicians who are terrible at calculation proves that numeracy (计算能力) and mathematics aren’t the same thing. What, then, is mathematics?
Auerbach says it is three things: a science, a language and an art. For me, part of the issue is that we are stuck in the first box. A focus completely on technical skills misses the joy and excitement that can come from finding patterns and understanding them, from seeing the true beauty of mathematics. That beauty lies in wonderfully elegant thinking that allows us to understand the infinite (无穷大), explore the amazing symmetries (对称) of art and nature, and delight in the perfection of an abstract world of ideas. As a language, what sets maths apart is the universality (普遍性) of its truths — you can become fluent wherever you are from. If we can be shown the beauty of mathematics, we will forget to be afraid of the technical details behind it.
Today’s self-help experts like to point out that, physiologically, we experience anxiety the same way we experience excitement. So, if your heart is racing and your palms are sweating before a big event, you simply have to tell yourself that you are excited. In the same way, fear can be negative (dread) or positive (awe). Our goal should be to try to move people from a view of mathematics as a collection of calculations whose great difficulty brings dread to an appreciation of a beautiful language whose complexity inspires awe.
A hundred years on, Auerbach’s writing is as relevant as ever. It is a timely reminder that “maths anxiety”, as it is now called, remains as much a challenge in 21st century as it was in the 20th.
28. Why did Felix Auerbach write The Fear of Mathematics and How to Overcome It?
A. To explain the beauty of mathematics.
B. To show his own excellent mathematical skills.
C. To find solutions to maths phobia.
D. To prove that numeracy is different from mathematics.
29. What can be learned from Paragraph 2?
A. Excellent mathematicians don’t need to calculate.
B. Calculation is not the most important part of mathematics.
C. People with maths phobia are good at mathematics.
D. Numeracy is more difficult to master than mathematics.
30. What makes mathematics different as a language according to the text?
A. The universality of its truths.
B. The difficulty in learning it.
C. Its focus on technical calculations.
D. Its ability to explain natural phenomena.
31. What is our goal when addressing the fear of mathematics?
A. Encourage reading physiology books.
B. Inspire learning a foreign language.
C. Teach correct calculations.
D. Appreciate maths beauty, not just calculations.

A recent study explores the health risks associated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (挥发性有机化合物) released from plastic water bottles when they are exposed to sunlight. The research thoroughly investigated the types and toxicity (毒性) of VOCs released under solar irradiation, highlighting the importance of improved storage methods to guarantee the safety of drinking water.
Plastic water bottles are ubiquitous due to their convenience, yet they have potential risks. Sunlight exposure can lead these containers to degrade and generate VOCs, which are potentially harmful to human health. The fast-expanding bottled water market underscores the urgency for safer alternatives. In response to these concerns, there is a pressing need for in-depth research into more secure materials and production methods for water containers.
The research analyzed the VOCs released from six types of plastic water bottles subjected to sunlight. Results showed that all tested bottles produced a complex mixture of alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, aldehydes, and acids, with significant variations in VOC composition and concentration among the bottles. Notably, highly toxic VOCs were identified, highlighting serious health risks. Exposure to sunlight for a longer time indicated an increased concentration of VOCs, pointing to a growing risk.
Dr. Huase Ou, the lead researcher, remarked, “Our findings provide convincing evidence that plastic bottles, when exposed to sunlight, can release toxic compounds that pose health risks. However, the scenes where bottled water is exposed to sunlight are not rare. Consumers need to be aware of the environments where bottled water is likely to be exposed to sunlight for longer periods.”
This study carries significant implications for public health and safety regulations. Understanding the conditions under which these VOCs are released can guide the improvement of processing practices and material selection for bottled water containers. Furthermore, it underlines the need for enhanced consumer awareness and stricter industry regulations to reduce exposure to these potentially harmful compounds.
32. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Inexpensive. B. Conventional. C. Widespread. D. Adjustable.
33. What did the research find?
A. Not all tested plastic bottles produced harmful VOCs.
B. Production methods for bottled water were unsustainable.
C. The time of exposure to sunlight wasn’t a contributing factor.
D. VOCs released from different materials of water bottles varied.
34. What does Dr. Huase Ou mean?
A. The safety of bottled water is concerning. B. Consumers lack awareness of food safety.
C. Research findings are far from convincing. D. Plastic bottles can’t avoid exposure to sunlight.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The impact of toxic VOCs. B. Joint efforts to cut plastic bottles.
C. Tips on improving public health. D. The value of the study.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之成为一篇完整的短文。
Gina was a senior high school student, who often hosted school activities. Everyone praised her excellent speaking skills. One day, she saw a local TV station holding a “Teenage Host” selection. The winner would be invited to host a children’s program once a week. Gina thought it was a great opportunity to show her skills, so she signed up.
During the interview, Gina responded to all the questions clearly and even told a funny story to make the judges laugh. However, when the result came out, Gina was shocked — she didn’t make it. Unwilling to give up, she gathered up her courage to ask the chief judge, “Excuse me, could you tell me why I wasn’t selected?” The chief judge replied coldly, “You seem a bit overweight. It doesn’t meet our requirements.”
Gina felt angry after hearing that, but deep down, she knew she was heavier than many other girls of her age. Determined to change her image, she decided to lose weight. She searched online and found a “5+2 light fasting” method: eat normally on five days a week and only take in very few calories (热量) for the other 2 days. Gina made up her mind to try it, ignoring the potential risks.
On the first two days, Gina felt extremely hungry, causing her to fail to focus on what the teachers said in class. She often looked at the blackboard painfully, her mind recalling delicious food. Her classmates noticed something was wrong and asked her if she was sick. But Gina just made up excuses, saying she simply had a slight headache.
By the second week, the situation got worse. During a break, before Gina could say anything, she fell to the ground. Her classmates were frightened and immediately ran to tell their head teacher, Mr. David. Mr. David rushed over, picked her up carefully, and took her to the hospital at once. After the doctor’s timely care, Gina finally woke up.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。
After being asked, Gina explained to David why she had acted this way.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hearing Mr. David’s words, Gina decided to accept her own figure.

【原文】W: Thanks for joining us tonight, Mr. Moore. Speaking of robot development, people often think of humanoid machines. So what’s the reality from an engineer’s perspective?
M: It’s far more complex. A significant part of my work involves perfecting the basics — sensor integration, motion stability, and real-time decision-making. Making a robot simply walk across uneven ground without falling is a tough challenge.
W: What’s the hardest part you’re facing right now?
M: Without a doubt, I can program a robot to operate in a controlled environment, but the difficulty is that the real world is full of uncertainties. Besides, teaching a machine to recognize an unfamiliar object and decide how to interact with it requires a vast body of data and advanced algorithms.
W: Where do you see this field heading in the next five years?
M: I believe we’ll see robots moving out of factories and into everyday places, like homes and hospitals. The key is making them safer and more user-friendly.

【答案】17. B 18. A 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【原文】Australia passed a new law called the Online Safety Amendment Bill 2024 on 28th November 2024. This law introduces a minimum age of 16 for accounts on certain social media platforms. It came into effect on 10th December 2025. The government says the ban is needed to protect the mental health and well-being of Australian children and teenagers. They believe social media gives youngsters license to act improperly, such as engaging in cyberbullying. The platforms the ban applies to include X, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat and Threads. Tech companies that own these platforms could face penalties of up to $50 million if they fail to stop those under 16 from having accounts. The ban leaves out apps like Messenger Kids, WhatsApp, Kids Helpline, Google Classroom and YouTube Kids. However, UNICEF Australia thinks that the policy won’t fix the problems young people encounter online. It strongly supports the use of social media, as the positives far outweigh the risks under current strict regulations.

One quiet afternoon in France in her studio, wood crafting (木工技艺) artist Hua Yong found herself watching water boil. Without thinking, she reached for her phone and refreshed the screen. At that very moment, she realized how much modern life is consumed by speed. “We are completely swept up by the fast pace of life,” she said. “It’s becoming harder to find time to unwind among the everyday chaos of life.”
Hua Yong, the 2024 receiver of the Hand of Wisdom prize, a Sino-French crafts exchange program, spent two months in Paris last year, a rare stretch of uninterrupted time that allowed her to reflect on the act of creation. She began experimenting with simple geometric (几何的) forms, repeating them to create visual effects that seemed to go beyond time and space. “I thought about how to create something new from nothing, and used the highest standards of traditional Chinese craftsmanship to bring these ideas to life,” she said.
“Wood crafting requires the investment of time,” she noted. Her exhibition Changing the World in Silence at Yishu 8, an art platform in Beijing, marked the highlight of a year’s reflection. Running through mid-June, the show featured 25 pieces, 11 of which were created after her Paris residency. Among the works was a vortex-like (漩涡状的) table, which drew the viewer’s mind into a different dimension. “We hope all the crafts here quietly accompany the viewers, bringing a brief mental escape and a moment of relaxation,” described Hua.
“The changes in her work’s form between movement and stillness are projections of conceptual unrest,” said Su Dan, the artistic director of Hand of Wisdom, observing Hua’s shift since her return. “She has long engaged with Chinese traditional materials and been constantly thinking. Works created in such a state of reflection become models of design philosophy: They are short-lived, yet everlasting.”
24. Why did Hua Yong reach for her phone in Paragraph 1?
A. She felt like taking a photo.
B. She tried to have a rest among chaos.
C. She intended to make a call.
D. She had formed the habitual behavior.
25. What change did Hua Yong make after her Sino-French crafts exchange program?
A. She integrated Sino-French wood crafts.
B. She applied geometric shapes creatively.
C. She shifted to rare and simple materials.
D. She adopted digital techniques flexibly.
26. What do we know about the works in Changing the World in Silence?
A. They relied hardly on handwork.
B. They mirrored the rush of modern life.
C. They featured mental relaxation.
D. They were well-appreciated by viewers.
27. What does Su Dan imply about Hua Yong?
A. She underwent life unrest in Paris.

Maths phobia (恐惧症) is older than you might think. A hundred years ago, German physicist Felix Auerbach, feeling sad about the phenomenon and hoping to find ways to solve it, wrote a book called The Fear of Mathematics and How to Overcome It. Maths, he said, has so much to contribute to society that solving this fear is a challenge of the highest importance.
Why do we fear mathematics? At heart, says Auerbach, it comes down to a fundamental misunderstanding of what maths is. The fear of messing up a calculation may be real, but the fact that there are many excellent mathematicians who are terrible at calculation proves that numeracy (计算能力) and mathematics aren’t the same thing. What, then, is mathematics?
Auerbach says it is three things: a science, a language and an art. For me, part of the issue is that we are stuck in the first box. A focus completely on technical skills misses the joy and excitement that can come from finding patterns and understanding them, from seeing the true beauty of mathematics. That beauty lies in wonderfully elegant thinking that allows us to understand the infinite (无穷大), explore the amazing symmetries (对称) of art and nature, and delight in the perfection of an abstract world of ideas. As a language, what sets maths apart is the universality (普遍性) of its truths — you can become fluent wherever you are from. If we can be shown the beauty of mathematics, we will forget to be afraid of the technical details behind it.
Today’s self-help experts like to point out that, physiologically, we experience anxiety the same way we experience excitement. So, if your heart is racing and your palms are sweating before a big event, you simply have to tell yourself that you are excited. In the same way, fear can be negative (dread) or positive (awe). Our goal should be to try to move people from a view of mathematics as a collection of calculations whose great difficulty brings dread to an appreciation of a beautiful language whose complexity inspires awe.
A hundred years on, Auerbach’s writing is as relevant as ever. It is a timely reminder that “maths anxiety”, as it is now called, remains as much a challenge in 21st century as it was in the 20th.
28. Why did Felix Auerbach write The Fear of Mathematics and How to Overcome It?
A. To explain the beauty of mathematics.
B. To show his own excellent mathematical skills.
C. To find solutions to maths phobia.
D. To prove that numeracy is different from mathematics.
29. What can be learned from Paragraph 2?
A. Excellent mathematicians don’t need to calculate.
B. Calculation is not the most important part of mathematics.
C. People with maths phobia are good at mathematics.
D. Numeracy is more difficult to master than mathematics.
30. What makes mathematics different as a language according to the text?
A. The universality of its truths.
B. The difficulty in learning it.
C. Its focus on technical calculations.
D. Its ability to explain natural phenomena.
31. What is our goal when addressing the fear of mathematics?
A. Encourage reading physiology books.
B. Inspire learning a foreign language.
C. Teach correct calculations.
D. Appreciate maths beauty, not just calculations.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章解释说明了数学恐惧症背后的原因以及到底什么是数学。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“A hundred years ago, German physicist Felix Auerbach, feeling sad about the phenomenon and hoping to find ways to solve it, wrote a book called The Fear of Mathematics and How to Overcome It.(一百年前,德国物理学家Felix Auerbach对这一现象感到悲伤,并希望找到解决它的方法,他写了一本名为《对数学的恐惧及其克服方法》的书)”可知,Felix Auerbach写这本书的目的是找到解决数学恐惧症的方法。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The fear of messing up a calculation may be real, but the fact that there are many excellent mathematicians who are terrible at calculation proves that numeracy (计算能力) and mathematics aren’t the same thing.(对搞砸计算的恐惧可能是真实的,但有许多优秀的数学家却不擅长计算的事实证明,计算能力和数学并不是一回事)”可知,计算能力(numeracy)和数学(mathematics)不同,优秀的数学家可能不擅长计算。由此推知,计算并非数学中最重要的部分。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“As a language, what sets maths apart is the universality of its truths — you can become fluent wherever you are from.(作为一门语言,数学的与众不同之处在于其真理的普遍性——无论你来自哪里,你都能学得很流利)”可知,作为一种语言,数学的独特之处在于其真理的普及性,无论来自哪里都能理解其规律,即真理的普遍性。故选A。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Our goal should be to try to move people from a view of mathematics as a collection of calculations whose great difficulty brings dread to an appreciation of a beautiful language whose complexity inspires awe.(我们的目标应该是努力让人们不再把数学看作是一种计算的集合,这种计算的巨大难度让人感到恐惧,而要欣赏一种美丽的语言,这种语言的复杂性让人敬畏)”可知,我们解决数学恐惧的目的是改变人们对于数学的理解,从一系列令人恐惧的计算改变成对于数学之美的欣赏。故选D。
D
A recent study explores the health risks associated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (挥发性有机化合物) released from plastic water bottles when they are exposed to sunlight. The research thoroughly investigated the types and toxicity (毒性) of VOCs released under solar irradiation, highlighting the importance of improved storage methods to guarantee the safety of drinking water.
Plastic water bottles are ubiquitous due to their convenience, yet they have potential risks. Sunlight exposure can lead these containers to degrade and generate VOCs, which are potentially harmful to human health. The fast-expanding bottled water market underscores the urgency for safer alternatives. In response to these concerns, there is a pressing need for in-depth research into more secure materials and production methods for water containers.
The research analyzed the VOCs released from six types of plastic water bottles subjected to sunlight. Results showed that all tested bottles produced a complex mixture of alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, aldehydes, and acids, with significant variations in VOC composition and concentration among the bottles. Notably, highly toxic VOCs were identified, highlighting serious health risks. Exposure to sunlight for a longer time indicated an increased concentration of VOCs, pointing to a growing risk.
Dr. Huase Ou, the lead researcher, remarked, “Our findings provide convincing evidence that plastic bottles, when exposed to sunlight, can release toxic compounds that pose health risks. However, the scenes where bottled water is exposed to sunlight are not rare. Consumers need to be aware of the environments where bottled water is likely to be exposed to sunlight for longer periods.”
This study carries significant implications for public health and safety regulations. Understanding the conditions under which these VOCs are released can guide the improvement of processing practices and material selection for bottled water containers. Furthermore, it underlines the need for enhanced consumer awareness and stricter industry regulations to reduce exposure to these potentially harmful compounds.
32. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Inexpensive. B. Conventional. C. Widespread. D. Adjustable.
33. What did the research find?
A. Not all tested plastic bottles produced harmful VOCs.
B. Production methods for bottled water were unsustainable.
C. The time of exposure to sunlight wasn’t a contributing factor.
D. VOCs released from different materials of water bottles varied.
34. What does Dr. Huase Ou mean?
A. The safety of bottled water is concerning. B. Consumers lack awareness of food safety.
C. Research findings are far from convincing. D. Plastic bottles can’t avoid exposure to sunlight.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The impact of toxic VOCs. B. Joint efforts to cut plastic bottles.
C. Tips on improving public health. D. The value of the study.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究表明,暴露在阳光下的塑料水瓶会产生危害健康的挥发性有机化合物,暴露的时间越长,化合物的浓度越高。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Plastic water bottles are ubiquitous due to their convenience, yet they have potential risks. (由于塑料水瓶的便利性,它们是ubiquitous,但是也有潜在的风险。)”可知,塑料水瓶使用起来很方便,所以它们应该是随手可得的,因此“ubiquitous”意为“无处不在的”或“普遍存在的”,故选C项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Results showed that all tested bottles produced a complex mixture of alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, aldehydes, and acids, with significant variations in VOC composition and concentration among the bottles. (结果显示,所有测试的瓶子都产生了一种复杂的烷烃、烯烃、醇类、醛类和酸类混合物,不同瓶子之间的VOC成分和浓度存在显著差异)”可知,不同材质的水瓶释放出的挥发性有机化合物有所不同。故选D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“However, the scenes where bottled water is exposed to sunlight are not rare. Consumers need to be aware of the environments where bottled water is likely to be exposed to sunlight for longer periods. (然而,瓶装水暴露在阳光下的场景并不少见。消费者需要意识到瓶装水可能长时间暴露在阳光下的环境)”可推断,Dr. Huase Ou认为瓶装水的安全令人担忧。故选A项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“This study carries significant implications for public health and safety regulations. Understanding the conditions under which these VOCs are released can guide the improvement of processing practices and material selection for bottled water containers. Furthermore, it underlines the need for enhanced consumer awareness and stricter industry regulations to reduce exposure to these potentially harmful compounds. (这项研究对公共卫生和安全法规具有重要意义。了解这些VOCs释放的条件可以指导瓶装水容器加工实践的改进和材料选择。此外,它强调了提高消费者意识和加强行业法规以减少对这些潜在有害化合物的暴露的必要性)”可知,最后一段主要讨论了这项研究的价值,故选D项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国传统皮影戏的历史、制作及表演特点。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这种艺术形式受到可以追溯到2000多年前的中国传统皮影戏的启发,皮影戏通常被称为世界上最早的“电影艺术”,它将现场表演与音效相结合。“which, often ____ (refer) to as the world’s earliest “movie art””是定语从句,修饰先行词“traditional Chinese shadow play”,从句中已有谓语动词combines,所以refer要用非谓语形式作定语,refer to...as... 表示“把……称作……”,所以此处该动词和被修饰的名词之间为被动关系,用过去分词referred表被动。故填referred。
【57题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:到了宋代,在中国传统戏曲兴起之前,它已经发展成为一种高度发达的艺术,能够讲述三国时期的故事。空处为句子的谓语动词。根据时间状语By the Song Dynasty可知,此处应用过去完成时,表示在过去某一时间之前已经完成的动作,即到宋代为止,皮影戏已经发展成为一种高度发达的艺术。故填had grown。
【58题详解】
考查冠词。句意:在明代,皮影戏成为一种流行的娱乐形式,尤其是在北京这样的城市。form是可数名词“形式”,此处泛指“一种形式”,且popular的发音以辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:即使在今天,它对现代电影制作的影响仍然可见,影响着故事的讲述方式。此处应用非谓语动词作状语,shape与逻辑主语its influence之间是主动关系,故用现在分词形式。故填shaping。
【60题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:制作皮影戏木偶既需要选择材料,也需要技巧。根据句意可知,material是可数名词“材料”,根据语境可知,制作皮影木偶需要多种材料,所以用复数形式。故填materials。
【61题详解】
考查连词。句意:皮影戏的真正魔力不仅在于它的制作,还在于它的现场表演,在现场表演中,一群木偶操纵师、叙述者和音乐家和谐地合作。not just...but...为固定搭配,意为“不仅……而且……”。故填but。
【62题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:皮影戏的真正魔力不仅在于它的制作,还在于它的现场表演,在现场表演中,一群木偶操纵师、叙述者和音乐家和谐地合作。此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是its live performance,关系词在从句中作地点状语,应用关系副词where引导该从句。故填where。
【63题详解】
考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:在表演过程中,当光线照射到人物身上时,生动的影子就会被投射到屏幕上。此处为谓语动词,描述的是一般情况,此处应用一般现在时,主语vivid shadows与动词project“投射,放映”之间是被动关系,应用一般现在时的被动语态,主语为复数,be动词用are。故填are projected。
【64题详解】
考查介词。句意:木偶操纵师站在屏幕后面,用五根竹棒操纵人物,而叙述者则唱歌,音乐家则演奏鼓、锣等乐器。根据常识可知,木偶操纵师是站在屏幕后面操作木偶的,所以用介词behind“在……后面”。故填behind。
【65题详解】
考查形容词。句意:在另一边,观众看到屏幕上的人物通过影子变得栩栩如生,它们的动作如此富有表现力,以至于人们忘记了他们只是在看影子。根据空前are可知,此处应用形容词作表语,express的形容词形式为expressive,意为“富有表现力的”。故填expressive。

【答案】
An Experience of Volunteering
Last year, I volunteered to help clean up the local park. I worked with a group of other students. We picked up litter, swept the paths, and watered the flowers. It was hard work, but it was also very rewarding. During the process, we also interacted with some passers-by and spread the idea of environmental protection. After the activity, I felt a great sense of satisfaction. I realized that even a small act of kindness can make a big difference. I advocate that everyone take part in volunteer activities. Let’s make our community a better place to live in.

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之成为一篇完整的短文。
Gina was a senior high school student, who often hosted school activities. Everyone praised her excellent speaking skills. One day, she saw a local TV station holding a “Teenage Host” selection. The winner would be invited to host a children’s program once a week. Gina thought it was a great opportunity to show her skills, so she signed up.
During the interview, Gina responded to all the questions clearly and even told a funny story to make the judges laugh. However, when the result came out, Gina was shocked — she didn’t make it. Unwilling to give up, she gathered up her courage to ask the chief judge, “Excuse me, could you tell me why I wasn’t selected?” The chief judge replied coldly, “You seem a bit overweight. It doesn’t meet our requirements.”
Gina felt angry after hearing that, but deep down, she knew she was heavier than many other girls of her age. Determined to change her image, she decided to lose weight. She searched online and found a “5+2 light fasting” method: eat normally on five days a week and only take in very few calories (热量) for the other 2 days. Gina made up her mind to try it, ignoring the potential risks.
On the first two days, Gina felt extremely hungry, causing her to fail to focus on what the teachers said in class. She often looked at the blackboard painfully, her mind recalling delicious food. Her classmates noticed something was wrong and asked her if she was sick. But Gina just made up excuses, saying she simply had a slight headache.
By the second week, the situation got worse. During a break, before Gina could say anything, she fell to the ground. Her classmates were frightened and immediately ran to tell their head teacher, Mr. David. Mr. David rushed over, picked her up carefully, and took her to the hospital at once. After the doctor’s timely care, Gina finally woke up.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。
After being asked, Gina explained to David why she had acted this way.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hearing Mr. David’s words, Gina decided to accept her own figure.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】After being asked, Gina explained to David why she had acted this way. Tears welled up in her eyes as she told him about the whole story. Gina also mentioned the light fasting method she’d been trying, admitting she’d ignored the possible risks just to slim down quickly. Her voice trembled with regret as she said, “I just wanted to prove I was good enough for the program.” Mr. David listened patiently, his expression softening with sympathy. He patted her shoulder gently and said,“Gina, your talent for hosting has nothing to do with your weight. What matters is your passion and skills, not your appearance.”
Hearing Mr. David’s words, Gina decided to accept her own figure. She realized that the judge’s shallow standard didn’t define her worth. After recovering, she stopped the unhealthy fasting and started eating balanced meals and doing moderate exercise to stay fit, not to meet others’ unfair expectations. Later, she joined the school’s broadcasting club, where she continued to shine with her excellent speaking skills. She even hosted a school charity show, which was a big success. This experience taught her that true confidence comes from accepting oneself, not chasing an unrealistic image of perfection.
