I was born in a small town in Pakistan called Quetta in 1980. When I was a little boy of about ten years old, I developed an interest in calligraphy. Back then we only had a TV channel with limited programs. One of the programs was about learning calligraphy. I was engaged and spent several years learning different calligraphy scripts (笔迹) in the Urdu language.
After graduation, I came to Dubai, UAE. Falling in love with the architecture and high-rise buildings, I wanted to shoot the amazing beauty from different angles. So I bought a camera and learned photography, joined photography groups and attended workshops. However, after a few years, I got bored of photographing landscapes and cityscapes.
Seven years ago, while going through the photography blogs and looking through others’ works, I read the term called “light painting”, a photography technique that allows you to draw in space. I started experimenting with that and soon it hit me: why not bring back my passion for calligraphy using light painting technique? Since that day, I’ve been drawing light calligraphy. To achieve the best results, I decided to build the lights myself. The best part about my work is that they are not beautified digitally. I prefer getting the results directly from the camera. I don’t even turn over the images. To achieve that, I have to write in reverse (倒置) and that took a lot of practice to get it right.
Currently, I’m working on the idea of bringing abandoned places back to life, including buildings which have lost their charm and are hidden in darkness. Through my photography, I try to employ light calligraphy by writing a word that attaches a deep meaning to those places and telling stories behind them. In this way, I hope people will revisit these places and appreciate the real reason for their construction.
24. What can be inferred from the author’s experience in Quetta?
A. He put great effort into learning calligraphy.
B. He grew bored with limited media programs.
C. He was masterfully trained by TV experts.
D. He created various scripts for the local TV shows.
25. What made the author interested in taking pictures in Dubai?
A. The stories hidden in old buildings.
B. The works of famous photographers.
C. The visual appeal of city architecture.
D. The unique landscape of the desert town.
26. How did the author achieve his best results in light calligraphy?
A. By learning from others. B. By sticking to the original.
C. By drawing in open space. D. By beautifying his photos.
27. What is the author’s role in practising his current idea?
A. A traveler recording his personal journey.
B. A photographer protecting dark areas.
C. A researcher exploring building history.
D. An artist giving life to forgotten places.
C
While poor air quality is widely known to damage our lungs, recent scientific findings suggest it could also explain why an increasing number of children need glasses. Scientists have discovered that youngsters tend to maintain healthier vision in environments with reduced air pollutants.
The researchers focus specifically on myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness. It has truly become a severe health crisis across East Asia. In China, for example, over 80% of adolescents suffer from this vision issue by the time they graduate from high school. Furthermore, 10% of teens experience extreme nearsightedness.
Historically, genetics, routines, and diet were considered primary causes. “However, our latest research confirms a direct connection between air pollution and childhood myopia,” notes Zongbo Shi from the University of Birmingham. His team examined comprehensive personal, medical, and environmental data — including smog levels — from nearly 30,000 students in Tianjin, China.
But exactly what happens to youngsters’ eyes when they breathe in polluted air? Paul Foster, an eye specialist at University College London, explains the potential mechanism. “Exposure to toxic air might lead to the narrowing of blood vessels within the retina (视网膜) — the crucial layer of light-sensitive cells at the back of the eyeball,” he says. Consequently, this physical change significantly increases the likelihood of youngsters developing nearsightedness.
Admittedly, this research has certain limitations. For instance, it depended heavily on self-reported data, which can sometimes be unreliable. Moreover, scientists measured pollution exposure based on air quality around campuses, ignoring the fact that children don’t remain at school all day, much less on weekends. Nevertheless, the investigation offers a promising direction for protecting youngsters’ eyesight. Ultimately, breathing purer air might just mean sharper vision for children globally.
28. What causes nearsightedness in children according to the new study?
A. Lack of a proper diet. B. Improper use of eyes.
C. Exposure to air pollution. D. Problems with genetics.
29. Why does the author list the figures in Paragraph 2?
A. To stress the urgency of the issue.
B. To compare the vision of the youth.
C. To prove the cause of poor eyesight.
D. To explain the process of vision loss.
30. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. What causes nearsightedness in children.
B. What leads to the problems in the retina.
C. How sensitive children are to air pollution.
D. How air pollution causes nearsightedness.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards the study?
A. Favorable. B. Critical.
C. Unclear. D. Doubtful.
D
Honey is a sweet treat that most people take for granted. But it is more than just a topping for cakes or a sweetener for tea. It’s a miracle of sorts.
Honey is the only food product made by an insect that humans eat. Even with all our technical abilities, no one has figured out how to make artificial honey. There’s really no substitute (替代品).
A single pound of honey may require a beehive of up to 60,000 bees to visit two million flowers. No wonder some people call it liquid gold! Although amber-colored clover honey tends to be most common, honey comes in a variety of shades and flavors, depending on the flowers that the bees gather nectar (花蜜) from.
Honey has been used throughout history in a number of ways. One of the most remarkable things about it is that it never goes bad. It may crystallize, meaning that it becomes solid in parts, but simply warming it slightly will melt the crystals and return the honey to its liquid form.
No one knows exactly how long honey has been used by humans, but Spanish cave paintings dated at 7,000BC show early evidence of beckeeping. Honey was also used by the ancient Egyptians as a sweetener, as a gift to the gods, and even as an element used to create mummies. Honey has been found inside the Egyptian pyramids, and although that honey was more than 3,000 years old, it would still taste like honey and be safe to eat. No other food has such lasting power!
Besides its many uses as a sweetener, honey has long been used as a medicinal remedy (疗法). Because it’s difficult for any kind of bacteria (细菌) to survive in honey, it makes a perfect barrier on cuts and can prevent infection. Honey is also an effective remedy to relieve a painful throat. It has even been found to be as effective in easing coughs in children.
The next time a bee flies through your garden or you spread some honey on a piece of toast, think about the miracle of honey.
32. According to the passage, what makes honey unique among the foods that humans eat?
A. Its various shades. B. Its natural creation.
C. Its delightful sweetness. D. Its remarkable history.
33. Why does the author mention the honey in the Egyptian pyramids?
A. To illustrate that it never goes bad.
B. To show the cleverness of Egyptians.
C. To compare it with the honey in Spain.
D. To inform that it originates from Egypt.
34. What is one of the medicinal uses of honey?
A. Promoting bacterial growth.
B. Curing throat pain.
C. Preventing infection in wounds.
D. Resisting common colds.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Honey: a Sweet Miracle of Nature
B. Honey: a Timeless Treasure
C. Honey: a Natural Medicinal Remedy
D. Honey: a Common Sweetener

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was the day before Mom’s birthday, and 17-year-old Liam had promised to bake her favorite chocolate cake. For weeks, he had been learning baking secretly from online videos, determined to surprise her with a perfect homemade cake. The kitchen counter was already lined with fresh ingredients — flour, cocoa powder, and eggs — ready for his grand baking mission.
But just as Liam tied his apron (围裙), his phone rang. It was his best friend Mark, excitedly announcing he had gotten two tickets to the season’s biggest basketball game — the one they’d been dreaming of for months. “Come on! This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance!” Mark insisted. “You can bake the cake tomorrow morning before the party.”
Liam hesitated, glancing between the unopened flour bags and his phone. The game started in two hours, and the cake would take at least three to prepare. His fingers drummed nervously on the counter. “Mom would want me to have fun.” he reasoned. “Alright, I’m in!” he finally said, pushing aside his doubts.
The game was thrilling, and Liam didn’t get home until midnight. Exhausted, he set his alarm for 5 AM and fell asleep. But when he woke up, sunlight was already flooding his room — it was 9:30! The party he had promised his mom started at 11!
Panicked, Liam sprinted to the kitchen. There was no time to bake now. Then he saw it — a supermarket cake his dad had bought as backup (备用品). “Maybe if I decorate it nicely, mom will not notice.” he thought desperately. As he hurriedly decorated the cake with some frosting, his hands shook. Before he could react, the cake lost its balance and slipped on the floor. Liam’s heart sank. The kitchen was a disaster.

I was born in a small town in Pakistan called Quetta in 1980. When I was a little boy of about ten years old, I developed an interest in calligraphy. Back then we only had a TV channel with limited programs. One of the programs was about learning calligraphy. I was engaged and spent several years learning different calligraphy scripts (笔迹) in the Urdu language.
After graduation, I came to Dubai, UAE. Falling in love with the architecture and high-rise buildings, I wanted to shoot the amazing beauty from different angles. So I bought a camera and learned photography, joined photography groups and attended workshops. However, after a few years, I got bored of photographing landscapes and cityscapes.
Seven years ago, while going through the photography blogs and looking through others’ works, I read the term called “light painting”, a photography technique that allows you to draw in space. I started experimenting with that and soon it hit me: why not bring back my passion for calligraphy using light painting technique? Since that day, I’ve been drawing light calligraphy. To achieve the best results, I decided to build the lights myself. The best part about my work is that they are not beautified digitally. I prefer getting the results directly from the camera. I don’t even turn over the images. To achieve that, I have to write in reverse (倒置) and that took a lot of practice to get it right.
Currently, I’m working on the idea of bringing abandoned places back to life, including buildings which have lost their charm and are hidden in darkness. Through my photography, I try to employ light calligraphy by writing a word that attaches a deep meaning to those places and telling stories behind them. In this way, I hope people will revisit these places and appreciate the real reason for their construction.
24. What can be inferred from the author’s experience in Quetta?
A. He put great effort into learning calligraphy.
B. He grew bored with limited media programs.
C. He was masterfully trained by TV experts.
D. He created various scripts for the local TV shows.
25. What made the author interested in taking pictures in Dubai?
A. The stories hidden in old buildings.
B. The works of famous photographers.
C. The visual appeal of city architecture.
D. The unique landscape of the desert town.
26. How did the author achieve his best results in light calligraphy?
A. By learning from others. B. By sticking to the original.
C. By drawing in open space. D. By beautifying his photos.
27. What is the author’s role in practising his current idea?
A. A traveler recording his personal journey.
B. A photographer protecting dark areas.
C. A researcher exploring building history.
D. An artist giving life to forgotten places.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. D
【解析】

【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“The best part about my work is that they are not beautified digitally. I prefer getting the results directly from the camera.(我作品最棒的部分在于它们没有经过数字美化。我更喜欢直接从相机获取结果)”可知,作者追求原汁原味的拍摄效果,不进行后期的数字修饰。选项B“By sticking to the original.(通过坚持原版/原貌)”符合题意。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Currently, I’m working on the idea of bringing abandoned places back to life, including buildings which have lost their charm and are hidden in darkness. Through my photography, I try to employ light calligraphy by writing a word that attaches a deep meaning to those places and telling stories behind them.(目前,我正致力于让废弃之地焕发生机,包括那些失去魅力、隐没于黑暗中的建筑。通过我的摄影作品,我尝试运用光绘书法,书写能为这些地方赋予深刻意义的文字,并讲述它们背后的故事。)”可知,作者现在的角色是通过艺术创作(光绘书法)赋予被遗忘的废弃建筑新的生命力。选项D“An artist giving life to forgotten places.(一个赋予被遗忘之地生命的艺术家)”符合作者当前的身份和追求。
C
While poor air quality is widely known to damage our lungs, recent scientific findings suggest it could also explain why an increasing number of children need glasses. Scientists have discovered that youngsters tend to maintain healthier vision in environments with reduced air pollutants.
The researchers focus specifically on myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness. It has truly become a severe health crisis across East Asia. In China, for example, over 80% of adolescents suffer from this vision issue by the time they graduate from high school. Furthermore, 10% of teens experience extreme nearsightedness.
Historically, genetics, routines, and diet were considered primary causes. “However, our latest research confirms a direct connection between air pollution and childhood myopia,” notes Zongbo Shi from the University of Birmingham. His team examined comprehensive personal, medical, and environmental data — including smog levels — from nearly 30,000 students in Tianjin, China.
But exactly what happens to youngsters’ eyes when they breathe in polluted air? Paul Foster, an eye specialist at University College London, explains the potential mechanism. “Exposure to toxic air might lead to the narrowing of blood vessels within the retina (视网膜) — the crucial layer of light-sensitive cells at the back of the eyeball,” he says. Consequently, this physical change significantly increases the likelihood of youngsters developing nearsightedness.
Admittedly, this research has certain limitations. For instance, it depended heavily on self-reported data, which can sometimes be unreliable. Moreover, scientists measured pollution exposure based on air quality around campuses, ignoring the fact that children don’t remain at school all day, much less on weekends. Nevertheless, the investigation offers a promising direction for protecting youngsters’ eyesight. Ultimately, breathing purer air might just mean sharper vision for children globally.
28. What causes nearsightedness in children according to the new study?
A. Lack of a proper diet. B. Improper use of eyes.
C. Exposure to air pollution. D. Problems with genetics.
29. Why does the author list the figures in Paragraph 2?
A. To stress the urgency of the issue.
B. To compare the vision of the youth.
C. To prove the cause of poor eyesight.
D. To explain the process of vision loss.
30. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. What causes nearsightedness in children.
B. What leads to the problems in the retina.
C. How sensitive children are to air pollution.
D. How air pollution causes nearsightedness.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards the study?
A. Favorable. B. Critical.
C. Unclear. D. Doubtful.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了研究发现空气污染会诱发儿童近视,文中介绍致病机理,也指出研究存在缺陷,但该研究为保护青少年视力提供新思路。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Scientists have discovered that youngsters tend to maintain healthier vision in environments with reduced air pollutants.(科学家发现,儿童在空气污染物较少的环境中往往能保持更健康的视力。)”以及第三段中““However, our latest research confirms a direct connection between air pollution and childhood myopia,” notes Zongbo Shi from the University of Birmingham.(“然而,我们最新的研究证实了空气污染与儿童近视之间存在直接关联,”伯明翰大学的石宗博(音译)指出。)”可知,新研究证实了空气污染与儿童近视之间存在直接关联:在污染物更少的环境中,儿童视力更健康。因此暴露于空气污染是该研究指出的儿童近视诱因。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The researchers focus specifically on myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness. It has truly become a severe health crisis across East Asia. In China, for example, over 80% of adolescents suffer from this vision issue by the time they graduate from high school. Furthermore, 10% of teens experience extreme nearsightedness.(研究人员特别关注近视问题,即俗称的“近视”。这一问题在东亚地区已演变为严重的健康危机。例如,在中国,超过80%的青少年在高中毕业时都会出现这种视力问题。此外,约10%的青少年患有高近视。)”可知,第二段先点明近视已成为东亚严重的健康危机,随后用中国青少年的近视率数据进行佐证,列举数字的核心目的是凸显问题的严重性与紧迫性,引出后文对成因的探究。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“But exactly what happens to youngsters’ eyes when they breathe in polluted air? Paul Foster, an eye specialist at University College London, explains the potential mechanism. “Exposure to toxic air might lead to the narrowing of blood vessels within the retina (视网膜) — the crucial layer of light-sensitive cells at the back of the eyeball,” he says. Consequently, this physical change significantly increases the likelihood of youngsters developing nearsightedness.(但是,当青少年吸入被污染的空气时,他们的眼睛会发生什么变化呢?伦敦大学学院的眼科专家保罗·福斯特解释了可能的机制。“接触有毒空气可能导致视网膜内血管变窄——视网膜是眼球后光感细胞的关键层,”他说。因此,这种生理变化显著增加了儿童患近视的可能性。)”可知,第四段主要讲的是空气污染引发近视的作用原理。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Admittedly, this research has certain limitations. For instance, it depended heavily on self-reported data, which can sometimes be unreliable. Moreover, scientists measured pollution exposure based on air quality around campuses, ignoring the fact that children don’t remain at school all day, much less on weekends. Nevertheless, the investigation offers a promising direction for protecting youngsters’ eyesight.(当然,这项研究也存在一些局限性。例如,它很大程度上依赖于自我报告的数据,而这些数据有时可能不可靠。此外,科学家根据校园周边的空气质量来测量污染暴露情况,却忽略了儿童并非全天待在学校,更不用说周末了。尽管如此,这项研究为保护儿童视力提供了有希望的方向。)”可知,作者先客观指出研究存在数据依赖自我报告、污染测量范围有局限等不足,随后通过转折强调该研究为保护儿童视力提供了有前景的方向,整体态度以肯定、支持为主。

Honey is a sweet treat that most people take for granted. But it is more than just a topping for cakes or a sweetener for tea. It’s a miracle of sorts.
Honey is the only food product made by an insect that humans eat. Even with all our technical abilities, no one has figured out how to make artificial honey. There’s really no substitute (替代品).
A single pound of honey may require a beehive of up to 60,000 bees to visit two million flowers. No wonder some people call it liquid gold! Although amber-colored clover honey tends to be most common, honey comes in a variety of shades and flavors, depending on the flowers that the bees gather nectar (花蜜) from.
Honey has been used throughout history in a number of ways. One of the most remarkable things about it is that it never goes bad. It may crystallize, meaning that it becomes solid in parts, but simply warming it slightly will melt the crystals and return the honey to its liquid form.
No one knows exactly how long honey has been used by humans, but Spanish cave paintings dated at 7,000BC show early evidence of beckeeping. Honey was also used by the ancient Egyptians as a sweetener, as a gift to the gods, and even as an element used to create mummies. Honey has been found inside the Egyptian pyramids, and although that honey was more than 3,000 years old, it would still taste like honey and be safe to eat. No other food has such lasting power!
Besides its many uses as a sweetener, honey has long been used as a medicinal remedy (疗法). Because it’s difficult for any kind of bacteria (细菌) to survive in honey, it makes a perfect barrier on cuts and can prevent infection. Honey is also an effective remedy to relieve a painful throat. It has even been found to be as effective in easing coughs in children.
The next time a bee flies through your garden or you spread some honey on a piece of toast, think about the miracle of honey.
32. According to the passage, what makes honey unique among the foods that humans eat?
A. Its various shades. B. Its natural creation.
C. Its delightful sweetness. D. Its remarkable history.
33. Why does the author mention the honey in the Egyptian pyramids?
A. To illustrate that it never goes bad.
B. To show the cleverness of Egyptians.
C. To compare it with the honey in Spain.
D. To inform that it originates from Egypt.
34. What is one of the medicinal uses of honey?
A. Promoting bacterial growth.
B. Curing throat pain.
C. Preventing infection in wounds.
D. Resisting common colds.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Honey: a Sweet Miracle of Nature
B. Honey: a Timeless Treasure
C. Honey: a Natural Medicinal Remedy
D. Honey: a Common Sweetener
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了蜂蜜不只是一种常见的甜味剂,更是一种堪称奇迹的自然产物。通过介绍蜂蜜是由昆虫制造的唯一性、获取过程的不易、在历史长河中的多样用途以及在医学方面的诸多功效等内容,突出强调了蜂蜜的独特价值,呼吁人们重新认识并重视蜂蜜这种来自大自然的“甜蜜奇迹”。
【32题详解】
细节理解题,根据第二段“Honey is the only food product that humans cat that is made by an insect. Even with all our technical abilities, no one has figured out how to make artificial honey. There’s really no substitute (替代品). (蜂蜜是人类食用的唯一一种由昆虫制造的食品。即使我们拥有所有的技术能力,也没有人想出如何制造人造蜂蜜。真的没有替代品。)”可知,蜂蜜是人类食用的唯一由昆虫制造的食物产品,这是它在人类所食用的食物中独一无二的地方,即它的天然形成方式。故选B项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Honey was also used by the ancient Egyptians as a sweetener, as a gift to the gods, and even as an element used to create mummies. Honey has been found inside the Egyptian pyramids, and although that honey was more than 3,000 years old, it would still taste like honey and be safe to eat. No other food has such lasting power! (蜂蜜也被古埃及人用作甜味剂、送给神的礼物,甚至用作制作木乃伊的元素。在埃及金字塔内发现了蜂蜜,虽然这种蜂蜜已有3,000多年的历史,但它的味道仍然像蜂蜜,可以安全食用。没有其他食物具有如此持久的力量!)”可知,作者提到埃及金字塔里的蜂蜜是为了说明蜂蜜不会变质的这一特性,即便过了三千多年,它尝起来还是蜂蜜的味道且能安全食用,其他食物没有这种持久的特性。故选A项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中“Because it’s difficult for any kind of bacteria (细菌) to survive in honey, it makes a perfect barrier on cuts and can prevent infection. (因为任何种类的细菌都很难在蜂蜜中生存,所以它在切口上形成了完美的屏障,可以防止感染。)”可知,蜂蜜的药用用途之一是它能在伤口上形成一道屏障,防止感染。故选C项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Honey is a sweet treat that most people take for granted. But it is more than just a topping for cakes or a sweetener for tea. It’s a miracle of sorts. (蜂蜜是一种大多数人认为理所当然的甜食。但它不仅仅是蛋糕的配料或茶的甜味剂。它在某种程度上是一个奇迹。)”可知,蜂蜜不只是人们习以为常的用于蛋糕或茶的东西,而是一种奇迹般的存在,结合最后一段“The next time a bee flies through your garden or you spread some honey on a piece of toast, think about the miracle of honey. (下次蜜蜂飞过您的花园或您在吐司上涂抹一些蜂蜜时,想想蜂蜜的奇迹。)”再次呼吁人们在看到蜜蜂或食用蜂蜜时思考蜂蜜的奇迹之处。综合全文,都是围绕蜂蜜是大自然赋予的一种甜蜜奇迹来展开叙述的,A项“Honey: a Sweet Miracle of Nature”最能概括文章主旨。故选A项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何让你的朋友振作起来的一些窍门。
【36题详解】
空格处是本段主题句,根据空后的“If your friend is angry about a situation at work, help her see the positive side of things. Hear out her problem before reacting (回应). But try to help her asking questions such as, “What things can you do to make the situation better?” or “What’s been happening at work lately that’s been good?”(如果你的朋友对工作中的某件事很生气,帮助她看到事情积极的一面。在做出反应之前先听听她的问题。但试着帮助她问一些问题,比如,“你能做些什么来改善情况?”或者“最近工作上发生了什么好事?”)”可知,本段主要说明的是帮助朋友看到事情积极的一面,B选项“Help her to see the positive side(帮助她看到积极的一面)”概括了本段主要内容,可作为主题句。故选B。
【37题详解】
根据第三段的主题句“Send her a card or postcard.(给她寄张卡片或明信片。)”与空前一句“Drop a note in the mail to her.(给她寄封信。)”判断,本段建议给朋友写封邮件或者寄张明信片,因此推断空格处要说她寄卡片相关的内容,G项“If you include one with a funny card, that’s better(如果你附上一张有趣的卡片,那就更好了)”,符合语境,承接上文,呼应主题。故选G。
【38题详解】
根据该空后的“as they can help her build confidence and self-esteem(因为它们可以帮助她建立自信和自尊)”判断,空格处要说到一些帮助她建立自信和自尊的事情,E项“Don’t be afraid to tell your friend these things(不要害怕告诉你的朋友这些事)”提到要告诉朋友一些事情,其中的“these things”指代前面提到的有关“they are smart, strong, and beautiful”的事情,而告诉朋友这些事情能帮助她建立自信和自尊,与下文构成因果关系。故选E。
【39题详解】
根据主题句Try out new things together.(一起尝试新事物)和空后的“If you want your friends to be happy, encourage them to try new things with you.(如果你想让你的朋友开心,鼓励他们和你一起尝试新事物。)”判断,本段建议和朋友一起尝试新事物,因此空格处应该提到新事物,D项“In turn, discover new things you love(反过来,发现你喜欢的新事物)”提到要发现新事物,其中的“new things”和空后的“new things”相一致,因此D选项符合语境。故选D。
【40题详解】
根据空前的主题句“Bring her one of her favorite treats.(给她带一个她最喜欢的食物。)”与空后一句“Maybe she can’t live without an afternoon coffee, or maybe she has a special love for black forest cake.(也许她离不开下午的咖啡,也许她对黑森林蛋糕情有独钟。)”判断,本段建议给朋友带一些她最喜欢的美食,故C项“You know what your friend likes(你知道你朋友喜欢什么)”说到了你知道朋友喜欢什么,承上启下,呼应主题,引出下文朋友可能喜欢的食物。故选C。

【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:爱丁堡城堡矗立在一座古老的火山顶上,几个世纪以来一直俯瞰着爱丁堡市。句中已有谓语动词stands,此处应填非谓语动词。逻辑主语Edinburgh Castle与watch之间为主动关系,表示伴随状态,故填现在分词watching。
【57题详解】

【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:如今,这座城堡是苏格兰文化的象征,也是一本等待着被探索的故事集。固定搭配wait to do sth.意为“等待做某事”,逻辑主语stories与动词explore之间是被动关系,故填不定式的被动形式to be explored。
【61题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:在里面,大厅仍然作为一个举办活动的场所发挥作用。设空处引导定语从句,先行词是place,从句events are held结构完整,且表示“在这个场所举办活动”,故填关系副词where。
【62题详解】

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was the day before Mom’s birthday, and 17-year-old Liam had promised to bake her favorite chocolate cake. For weeks, he had been learning baking secretly from online videos, determined to surprise her with a perfect homemade cake. The kitchen counter was already lined with fresh ingredients — flour, cocoa powder, and eggs — ready for his grand baking mission.
But just as Liam tied his apron (围裙), his phone rang. It was his best friend Mark, excitedly announcing he had gotten two tickets to the season’s biggest basketball game — the one they’d been dreaming of for months. “Come on! This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance!” Mark insisted. “You can bake the cake tomorrow morning before the party.”
Liam hesitated, glancing between the unopened flour bags and his phone. The game started in two hours, and the cake would take at least three to prepare. His fingers drummed nervously on the counter. “Mom would want me to have fun.” he reasoned. “Alright, I’m in!” he finally said, pushing aside his doubts.
The game was thrilling, and Liam didn’t get home until midnight. Exhausted, he set his alarm for 5 AM and fell asleep. But when he woke up, sunlight was already flooding his room — it was 9:30! The party he had promised his mom started at 11!
Panicked, Liam sprinted to the kitchen. There was no time to bake now. Then he saw it — a supermarket cake his dad had bought as backup (备用品). “Maybe if I decorate it nicely, mom will not notice.” he thought desperately. As he hurriedly decorated the cake with some frosting, his hands shook. Before he could react, the cake lost its balance and slipped on the floor. Liam’s heart sank. The kitchen was a disaster.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Hearing the noise, Mom entered the kitchen.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
To his surprise, mom pulled him into a hug.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Hearing the noise, Mom entered the kitchen. Her eyes widened at the sight of the messy floor and the ruined cake. Liam stood frozen, his face flushed with guilt and fear. “Mom, I... I’m so sorry,” he stammered, lowering his head. “I promised to bake you a perfect cake, but I messed up everything. I went to the basketball game instead and overslept this morning. Then I tried to decorate the backup cake and...” His voice trailed off as he waited for her anger or disappointment.
To his surprise, mom pulled him into a hug. “Oh, Liam,” she said softly, “I’m not upset about the cake. I’m touched by your effort and the thought behind it. You’ve been learning baking secretly for weeks just to surprise me, and that means more to me than any perfect cake.” She gently wiped away his tears and continued, “The best gift is your love and care. Let’s clean up this mess together and make some new memories.” Liam smiled through his tears, feeling a warmth in his heart that no ruined cake could ever take away.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索,讲述了17岁的Liam为给妈妈准备生日惊喜,计划烘焙巧克力蛋糕,却因好友邀请去看篮球赛而耽误,最终搞砸备用蛋糕的故事。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句“听到声音,妈妈走进了厨房。”可知,第一段可描写妈妈进入厨房后看到狼藉场面和Liam的反应,Liam 向妈妈坦白事情经过的情景。
