Whether you’re a longtime book lover or simply looking to be inspired while traveling, here are some literary festivals worth visiting.
Jaipur Literature Festival, Jaipur, India
This well-known five-day festival in the historic Pink City of Jaipur first began in 2006 as a small gathering for book lovers. Since then, nearly half a million attendees have traveled to India every year to participate in the literary festival where you can spot a celebrity easily. Theatrical adaptations of some books take center stage on the festival’s Music Stage.
Brooklyn Book Festival, New York, America
Every September, Brooklyn becomes literary heaven for nine days. As New York City’s largest free literary festival, Brooklyn Book Festival will celebrate its 20th year this fall.

I was 21 when I broke the world record as the youngest woman to ski solo (独自地) to the South Pole. On the hardest day, snow piled up to my knees, the wind howled like a wild beast, and the cold pierced through every layer of my clothes. My sledge (雪橇) felt heavier with each step, my muscles burning, and my breath shallow in the thin air. But I refused to stop.
Growing up in Norway, I was easily exposed to the wilderness. Stories of Roald Amundsen, the first man to reach the South Pole, filled me with wonder. And that was when my desire to explore nature was born. I spent hours skiing in the mountains, camping under stars, and starting campfires with frozen fingers.
At 14, I made a brave decision — to ski across Greenland. Most people doubted me. I was just under 5 feet tall and looked more like a child than an explorer. But Lars Ebbesen, a famous polar guide, saw my determination and trained me. He taught me how to fix broken equipment with frozen hands and read the sky for signs of danger. “You must be strong and smart,” be told me over and over.
To prove myself, I then went on a training trip to Finnmark, where darkness ruled and temperatures fell to -35℃. I learned to set up tents with frozen hands and sleep through winds that shook the earth. Finally I set off with Lars and it took us 28 days to cross Greenland.
Encouraged, at 15, I decided my next goal was Antarctica. My father helped me make plans. My mother, though cautious, eventually supported me. When I finally began my 1,130 km journey to the South Pole last November, I was 21. Some days, I cried behind my glasses, struggling through snowstorms, dragging my aching body forward. But I never gave up. Fifty-four days later, I reached the South Pole. I stood in silence, tears freezing on my cheeks. I sent Lars a chick emoji — at last, the “polar egg” hatched.
4. What inspired the author to explore nature?
A. Her desire to break a record. B. Her love for South Pole.
C. Her mother’s encouragement. D. Her admiration for Roald.
5. How did Lars help the author?
A. By teaching her survival skills. B. By financing her exploration.
C. By training her to ski skillfully. D. By convincing her parents to support her.
6. What can we learn from paragraph 4 about the author?
A. She gathered some hands-on experience.
B. She went to Finnmark accompanied by a guide.
C. She was praised for her courage by many people.
D. She met many challenges when crossing Greenland.
7. Which of the following can best describe the author?
A. Outgoing and caring. B. Ambitious and sensitive.
C. Humorous and considerate. D. Adventurous and determined.
C
Partying the night before a big exam. Preparing at the last minute for a work presentation. Running a 5K in a heavy Halloween costume. All are examples of what psychologists call “self-handicapping” — creating obstacles to success to protect one’s reputation. “Much previous research has explained it as a matter of personality,” said Yang Xiang, a psychology researcher.
Xiang and her co-authors have designed a mathematical model of how the phenomenon works socially. Their theory suggests people often judge someone’s competence from only one or two performances. So, if a person expects to be judged, creating an obstacle can give failure another explanation. In this way, self-handicapping is an attempt to game those judgments. “You’re doing this because it works,” Xiang said.
To test the theory, the researchers created a quiz-show experiment in which participants could choose how their performance would be judged. 20 questions were provided, and 8 correct answers meant a pass. Some chose to be judged on all 20 questions, while others on a random subset of 10. Choosing the random subset created uncertainty and offered a possible excuse for failure, making it a form of self-handicapping.
As the model confirmed, the behavior occurred most frequently among those least likely to fail — or to succeed. When self-handicappers succeeded, judges rated them especially highly. The behavior also softened judgments of those who failed. However, this protection weakened when the strategy was seen through, suggesting it worked best when judges were less aware of it.
Previous studies show self-handicapping can weaken educational goals. It has been linked with lower self-esteem (自尊), lower motivation, and declining student performance. The new research suggests that a shift in educators’ focus may help. When students are driven by the pressure to look smart, they remain highly likely to self-handicap. Instead, focusing on students’ progress over the rankings can further reduce their need to create excuses. “By understanding the psychology behind this behavior,” Xiang noted, “we hope this research reveals ways to prevent harmful academic self-handicapping.”
8. What may be the intention behind the behaviors in Paragraph 1?
A. To draw attention from others. B. To express unique personalities.
C. To relieve anxiety before an event. D. To make excuses for possible failure.
9. What does the underlined word “game” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Test. B. Follow. C. Influence. D. Record.
10. What can be concluded from the experiment?
A. Success depends on appropriate strategies.
B. Self-handicapping mainly benefits failures.
C. Self-handicapping can protect one’s image.
D. Average players are likeliest to self-handicap.
11. What do the researchers suggest educators do?
A. Adopt higher standards. B. Value individual growth.
C. Focus on measurable results. D. Stress success in tough tasks.
D
Newly published research finds that tropical forests can recover up to twice as fast after deforestation with sufficient soil nitrogen (氮). Scientists from the University of Leeds launched the largest and longest experiment ever designed to examine how nutrients affect forest regrowth in tropical areas cleared for activities such as logging and agriculture.
They selected 76 forest plots across Central America and monitored them for up to 20 years. Each site differed in age and size, allowing the team to track tree growth and death during forest recovery. Different nutrient treatments were applied to test nutrient roles. Some were given nitrogen fertiliser, some phosphorus (磷), some both, and others none.
The results showed that the levels of nutrients in the soil strongly influence tropical forest regrowth speed: nitrogen-rich forests recovered twice as fast as nitrogen-lacking ones, while phosphorus alone had no such effect. The findings were published on January 13 in the journal Nature Communications. Lead author Wenguang Tang said, “Our study is inspiring because it suggests there are ways we can boost the storage of greenhouse gases through reforestation by managing the nutrients available to trees.”
The research team used nitrogen fertiliser for the purposes of the experiment but does not advocate for fertilising forests, as that would have negative consequences, including polluting rivers and lakes and making the soil too weak for trees to stay healthy. Instead, the team suggests more sustainable alternatives. Forest managers could plant trees from the bean family, which host nitrogen-fixing bacteria in their root systems that can naturally fertilise the forest. Another option is restoring forests in areas that already have sufficient nitrogen due to the effects of air pollution.
Tropical forests are seen as vital global carbon sinks which slow climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide and storing it in trees. If young tropical forests worldwide lack nitrogen, they may fail to store about 0.69 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide each year — roughly equal to two years of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas release in the U. K.
12. How is paragraph 2 developed?
A. By making comparison. B. By explaining the process.
C. By clarifying the principles. D. By analyzing cause and effect.
13. What did the experiment find about forest regrowth?
A. Nitrogen doubles the recovery speed.
B. Mixed nutrients work the best among all.
C. Phosphorus can aid forest regrowth indirectly.
D. Forests boost the storage of greenhouse gases.
14. What can be inferred from the researchers’ recommendation?
A. Fertilisers should be made full use of.
B. Using nitrogen leads to harmful side effects.
C. People should turn to nature-based solutions.
D. Bean trees need to be planted in polluted areas.
15. What is the best title of the text?
A. Nitrogen: Key to Forest Regrowth B. Nitrogen: Impact on Climate Change
C. Tropical Forests: Recovering Soon D. Tropical Forests: Global Carbon Sinks

We all know that our dogs have feelings, and that they can be happy or sad. But, do dogs actually cry real tears when they get sad? Dogs are highly sensitive pets, and they experience a variety of emotions, just like humans. ____16____ They might just have watery eyes. As far as scientists know, humans are the only species that cry for emotional reasons.
Dogs do “cry” when they’re sad. However, dogs use voices to express feelings rather than having watery eyes. They begin doing this at a young age by crying out for their moms when in trouble. ____17____ As they get older, dogs may continue this whining (哀鸣) when sad.
Once they have matured, dogs consider their human owners to be the pack leader, or mother figure, and will direct their whining or crying towards them. Many specialists believe dogs suffering from separation anxiety will whine for their mothers. ____18____
____19____ They can also be sad, in pain or attempting to let you know that they’re feeling uncomfortable or want something. Also, dogs may howl (嗥叫) occasionally, which is just another form of “crying”. In fact, many experts believe that howling is a dog’s ultimate expression of sadness.
If dogs don’t produce emotional tears, why do they tear up at all? Studies show there is oftentimes a medical reason behind dogs having tears. ____20____ A dog’s tear ducts (泪管) work somewhat differently. For dogs, the tears or liquid will flow back into the throat and nose rather than from the eyes.
A. This is because dogs are social animals.
B. However, no science proves dogs cry for sadness.
C. Separation anxiety isn’t the only cause of dogs whining.
D. Similarly, when sad, they go to their parent-like person.
E. Virtually, that may be a sign of a serious health condition.
F. The reasons for dogs crying or howling are exactly the same.
G. They learn to make distinct sounds that can be recognized instantly.

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。
In the corner of our basement sits a shelf filled with old radios — wooden boxes with metal buttons and antennas (天线), whose colors faded with time. To most, they might seem like waste. But to my grandfather, they were treasure chests of stories.
My grandfather grew up in a small mountain village, where the only way to hear news of the outside world was through an old, noisy and unclear radio that he fixed by connecting wires under high heat. “I didn’t understand most of the words,” he used to laugh. “But the music spoke to me.” Fixing radios became more than a hobby — it was how he reached out to the world. He learned everything through repeated trials, until broken silence turned into sound again.
My mother never planned to keep this habit. As a teenager, she preferred tape players and music that she could carry with her. But when Grandpa passed away, she couldn’t throw away his tools or the radios he left. “They’re part of him,” she once said, gently turning a round metal button on one of the radios. Slowly, she began trying to fix a few of them, not as an expert, but with care and curiosity.
By the time I was ten, I had watched my mother spend many weekends surrounded by small parts and wires. “Come and try with me,” she said one Saturday. “Let’s see if we can fix this one together.” I didn’t know what to do, and I didn’t even like machines. I enjoyed reading and drawing. But when she turned the button and a jazz tune started playing, I felt something touched me.
Soon, fixing radios became our weekly activity. She showed me how to look closely at every wire and tiny part, and how to be patient and listen carefully. “Sometimes the problem isn’t what you see,” she said. “It’s what you hear — or don’t hear.”
Unlike my mother, I fell in love with it quickly. I began collecting old radios from neighbors and even tried fixing ones that no longer worked. I didn’t just want to make them work — I wanted to bring back their sound.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

I was 21 when I broke the world record as the youngest woman to ski solo (独自地) to the South Pole. On the hardest day, snow piled up to my knees, the wind howled like a wild beast, and the cold pierced through every layer of my clothes. My sledge (雪橇) felt heavier with each step, my muscles burning, and my breath shallow in the thin air. But I refused to stop.
Growing up in Norway, I was easily exposed to the wilderness. Stories of Roald Amundsen, the first man to reach the South Pole, filled me with wonder. And that was when my desire to explore nature was born. I spent hours skiing in the mountains, camping under stars, and starting campfires with frozen fingers.
At 14, I made a brave decision — to ski across Greenland. Most people doubted me. I was just under 5 feet tall and looked more like a child than an explorer. But Lars Ebbesen, a famous polar guide, saw my determination and trained me. He taught me how to fix broken equipment with frozen hands and read the sky for signs of danger. “You must be strong and smart,” be told me over and over.
To prove myself, I then went on a training trip to Finnmark, where darkness ruled and temperatures fell to -35℃. I learned to set up tents with frozen hands and sleep through winds that shook the earth. Finally I set off with Lars and it took us 28 days to cross Greenland.
Encouraged, at 15, I decided my next goal was Antarctica. My father helped me make plans. My mother, though cautious, eventually supported me. When I finally began my 1,130 km journey to the South Pole last November, I was 21. Some days, I cried behind my glasses, struggling through snowstorms, dragging my aching body forward. But I never gave up. Fifty-four days later, I reached the South Pole. I stood in silence, tears freezing on my cheeks. I sent Lars a chick emoji — at last, the “polar egg” hatched.
4. What inspired the author to explore nature?
A. Her desire to break a record. B. Her love for South Pole.
C. Her mother’s encouragement. D. Her admiration for Roald.
5. How did Lars help the author?
A. By teaching her survival skills. B. By financing her exploration.

Partying the night before a big exam. Preparing at the last minute for a work presentation. Running a 5K in a heavy Halloween costume. All are examples of what psychologists call “self-handicapping” — creating obstacles to success to protect one’s reputation. “Much previous research has explained it as a matter of personality,” said Yang Xiang, a psychology researcher.
Xiang and her co-authors have designed a mathematical model of how the phenomenon works socially. Their theory suggests people often judge someone’s competence from only one or two performances. So, if a person expects to be judged, creating an obstacle can give failure another explanation. In this way, self-handicapping is an attempt to game those judgments. “You’re doing this because it works,” Xiang said.
To test the theory, the researchers created a quiz-show experiment in which participants could choose how their performance would be judged. 20 questions were provided, and 8 correct answers meant a pass. Some chose to be judged on all 20 questions, while others on a random subset of 10. Choosing the random subset created uncertainty and offered a possible excuse for failure, making it a form of self-handicapping.
As the model confirmed, the behavior occurred most frequently among those least likely to fail — or to succeed. When self-handicappers succeeded, judges rated them especially highly. The behavior also softened judgments of those who failed. However, this protection weakened when the strategy was seen through, suggesting it worked best when judges were less aware of it.
Previous studies show self-handicapping can weaken educational goals. It has been linked with lower self-esteem (自尊), lower motivation, and declining student performance. The new research suggests that a shift in educators’ focus may help. When students are driven by the pressure to look smart, they remain highly likely to self-handicap. Instead, focusing on students’ progress over the rankings can further reduce their need to create excuses. “By understanding the psychology behind this behavior,” Xiang noted, “we hope this research reveals ways to prevent harmful academic self-handicapping.”
8. What may be the intention behind the behaviors in Paragraph 1?
A. To draw attention from others. B. To express unique personalities.
C. To relieve anxiety before an event. D. To make excuses for possible failure.
9. What does the underlined word “game” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Test. B. Follow. C. Influence. D. Record.
10. What can be concluded from the experiment?
A. Success depends on appropriate strategies.
B. Self-handicapping mainly benefits failures.
C. Self-handicapping can protect one’s image.
D. Average players are likeliest to self-handicap.
11. What do the researchers suggest educators do?
A. Adopt higher standards. B. Value individual growth.
C. Focus on measurable results. D. Stress success in tough tasks.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】主要介绍心理学中的自我设限行为,其原理、相关实验以及对教育的启示。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“All are examples of what psychologists call “self-handicapping” — creating obstacles to success to protect one’s reputation.(这些都是心理学家所说的“自我设限”的例子——为成功设置障碍,以此维护自己的名声。)”可知,这类行为是为可能到来的失败提前找借口。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“So, if a person expects to be judged, creating an obstacle can give failure another explanation. In this way, self-handicapping is an attempt to game those judgments.(所以,如果一个人预计会被他人评价,制造障碍就能为失败提供另一种解释。这样一来,自我设限就是试图game这些评价。)”可知,人们通过自我设限来影响别人对自己能力的评判,game此处含义为“影响,操纵”,与Influence同义。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“As the model confirmed, the behavior occurred most frequently among those least likely to fail — or to succeed. When self-handicappers succeeded, judges rated them especially highly. The behavior also softened judgments of those who failed.(模型证实,这种行为在最不容易失败,也最不容易成功的人群中最常见。当自我设限者成功时,评判者会给予极高评价;该行为也会弱化人们对失败者的负面评价。)”可知,自我设限能够保护一个人的形象。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Instead, focusing on students’ progress over the rankings can further reduce their need to create excuses.(相反,关注学生的进步而非排名,能够进一步减少他们找借口的需求。)”可知,研究者建议教育者重视学生个人成长。

Newly published research finds that tropical forests can recover up to twice as fast after deforestation with sufficient soil nitrogen (氮). Scientists from the University of Leeds launched the largest and longest experiment ever designed to examine how nutrients affect forest regrowth in tropical areas cleared for activities such as logging and agriculture.
They selected 76 forest plots across Central America and monitored them for up to 20 years. Each site differed in age and size, allowing the team to track tree growth and death during forest recovery. Different nutrient treatments were applied to test nutrient roles. Some were given nitrogen fertiliser, some phosphorus (磷), some both, and others none.
The results showed that the levels of nutrients in the soil strongly influence tropical forest regrowth speed: nitrogen-rich forests recovered twice as fast as nitrogen-lacking ones, while phosphorus alone had no such effect. The findings were published on January 13 in the journal Nature Communications. Lead author Wenguang Tang said, “Our study is inspiring because it suggests there are ways we can boost the storage of greenhouse gases through reforestation by managing the nutrients available to trees.”
The research team used nitrogen fertiliser for the purposes of the experiment but does not advocate for fertilising forests, as that would have negative consequences, including polluting rivers and lakes and making the soil too weak for trees to stay healthy. Instead, the team suggests more sustainable alternatives. Forest managers could plant trees from the bean family, which host nitrogen-fixing bacteria in their root systems that can naturally fertilise the forest. Another option is restoring forests in areas that already have sufficient nitrogen due to the effects of air pollution.
Tropical forests are seen as vital global carbon sinks which slow climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide and storing it in trees. If young tropical forests worldwide lack nitrogen, they may fail to store about 0.69 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide each year — roughly equal to two years of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas release in the U. K.
12. How is paragraph 2 developed?
A. By making comparison. B. By explaining the process.
C. By clarifying the principles. D. By analyzing cause and effect.
13. What did the experiment find about forest regrowth?
A. Nitrogen doubles the recovery speed.
B. Mixed nutrients work the best among all.
C. Phosphorus can aid forest regrowth indirectly.
D. Forests boost the storage of greenhouse gases.
14. What can be inferred from the researchers’ recommendation?
A. Fertilisers should be made full use of.
B. Using nitrogen leads to harmful side effects.
C. People should turn to nature-based solutions.
D. Bean trees need to be planted in polluted areas.
15. What is the best title of the text?
A. Nitrogen: Key to Forest Regrowth B. Nitrogen: Impact on Climate Change
C. Tropical Forests: Recovering Soon D. Tropical Forests: Global Carbon Sinks
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. A
【解析】

【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“They selected 76 forest plots across Central America and monitored them for up to 20 years. Each site differed in age and size, allowing the team to track tree growth and death during forest recovery. Different nutrient treatments were applied to test nutrient roles. Some were given nitrogen fertiliser, some phosphorus (磷), some both, and others none. (他们选定了中美洲76个森林样地,并对这些样地进行了长达20年的监测。每个样地的年龄和面积各不相同,使研究团队能够追踪森林恢复过程中树木的生长与死亡情况。研究人员对不同营养处理进行了测试,以探究养分的作用。部分样地施用氮肥,部分施用磷肥,有些同时施用两种,还有一些则未施任何肥料。)”可知,第二段揭示了实验的过程。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The results showed that the levels of nutrients in the soil strongly influence tropical forest regrowth speed: nitrogen-rich forests recovered twice as fast as nitrogen-lacking ones, while phosphorus alone had no such effect. (结果表明,土壤中营养元素的含量对热带森林的再生速度有显著影响:氮含量丰富的森林恢复速度是缺乏氮的森林的两倍,而仅磷则没有这种影响。)”可知,该实验发现氮元素能加快恢复速度。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Instead, the team suggests more sustainable alternatives. Forest managers could plant trees from the bean family, which host nitrogen-fixing bacteria in their root systems that can naturally fertilise the forest. Another option is restoring forests in areas that already have sufficient nitrogen due to the effects of air pollution. (相反,该团队提出了更具可持续性的替代方案。森林管理者可以种植豆科树木,这类植物的根系中含有固氮细菌,能够自然为森林提供养分。另一种选择是在受空气污染影响而已具备足够氮素的地区恢复森林。)”可知,人们应该寻求基于自然的解决方案。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Newly published research finds that tropical forests can recover up to twice as fast after deforestation with sufficient soil nitrogen (氮). Scientists from the University of Leeds launched the largest and longest experiment ever designed to examine how nutrients affect forest regrowth in tropical areas cleared for activities such as logging and agriculture. (最新发表的研究发现,只要土壤中氮素充足,热带森林在砍伐后恢复速度可达到原来的两倍。利兹大学的科学家们启动了有史以来规模最大、持续时间最长的实验,旨在研究养分如何影响热带地区因伐木和农业等活动而被清除的森林再生。)”结合文章主要说明了新研究发现,土壤氮能让热带森林恢复速度翻倍。利兹大学通过长期实验证实氮的关键作用,不建议人工施肥,提倡自然固氮方式,以更好助力森林固碳、减缓气候变化。可知,A选项“氮:森林再生的关键”最符合文章标题。

We all know that our dogs have feelings, and that they can be happy or sad. But, do dogs actually cry real tears when they get sad? Dogs are highly sensitive pets, and they experience a variety of emotions, just like humans. ____16____ They might just have watery eyes. As far as scientists know, humans are the only species that cry for emotional reasons.
Dogs do “cry” when they’re sad. However, dogs use voices to express feelings rather than having watery eyes. They begin doing this at a young age by crying out for their moms when in trouble. ____17____ As they get older, dogs may continue this whining (哀鸣) when sad.
Once they have matured, dogs consider their human owners to be the pack leader, or mother figure, and will direct their whining or crying towards them. Many specialists believe dogs suffering from separation anxiety will whine for their mothers. ____18____
____19____ They can also be sad, in pain or attempting to let you know that they’re feeling uncomfortable or want something. Also, dogs may howl (嗥叫) occasionally, which is just another form of “crying”. In fact, many experts believe that howling is a dog’s ultimate expression of sadness.
If dogs don’t produce emotional tears, why do they tear up at all? Studies show there is oftentimes a medical reason behind dogs having tears. ____20____ A dog’s tear ducts (泪管) work somewhat differently. For dogs, the tears or liquid will flow back into the throat and nose rather than from the eyes.
A. This is because dogs are social animals.
B. However, no science proves dogs cry for sadness.
C. Separation anxiety isn’t the only cause of dogs whining.
D. Similarly, when sad, they go to their parent-like person.
E. Virtually, that may be a sign of a serious health condition.
F. The reasons for dogs crying or howling are exactly the same.
G. They learn to make distinct sounds that can be recognized instantly.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了河南省郑州市新落成的大河村遗址博物馆,该博物馆通过先进的数字技术展示了中国7000年文明的演变,让早期中国历史触手可及。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在河南省郑州市,全新落成的大河村遗址博物馆带领游客踏上了一段穿越中国7000年文明演变的真实旅程。“(date) back 7,000 years”作定语,date back(追溯到)用非谓语形式,与其逻辑主语“Chinese civilization”之间是主动关系,用现在分词表主动。故填dating。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:该博物馆于6月14日开放,展出了来自30多个考古遗址的1600多件文物,其中许多是首次公开展出。“many of _____ are being displayed publicly for the first time”是定语从句,修饰先行词“artifacts”,指物,关系词将其代入定语从句中作介词of的宾语,用关系代词which引导从句。故填which。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意:借助先进的数字技术,博物馆为以彩陶闻名、标志着中国现代考古学开端的仰韶文化注入了活力。提示词修饰名词短语digital technology,用形容词advanced作定语,意为“先进的”。故填advanced。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:借助先进的数字技术,博物馆为以彩陶闻名、标志着中国现代考古学开端的仰韶文化注入了活力。根据“of modem Chinese archaeology”可知,特指中国现代考古学的开端,用定冠词the限定名词beginning。故填the。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:它并排的设计不仅反映了部落的团结和友谊,也是和平与艺术卓越的象征。stand as是固定短语,意为“作为……而存在,成为”,符合句意。故填as。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这件在河南博物馆保存了50多年的杰作,终于回到了最初出土的地方。“(keep) in the Henan Museum for over 50 years”作定语,keep(保存)用非谓语形式,与其逻辑主语“This masterpiece”之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动。故填kept。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意:同样令人印象深刻的是仰韶文化晚期的一段城墙,这是中国早期城市规划的罕见证据,它让游客可以欣赏到50多件带有太阳和蝴蝶图案的陶器,并深入了解古代人民的想象力和信仰。提示词修饰形容词impressive,用副词equally作状语,意为“同样地”;句首单词首字母大写。故填Equally。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:同样令人印象深刻的是仰韶文化晚期的一段城墙,这是中国早期城市规划的罕见证据,它让游客可以欣赏到50多件带有太阳和蝴蝶图案的陶器,并深入了解古代人民的想象力和信仰。“enable sb. to do sth.”是固定短语,意为“使某人能够做某事”,用不定式作宾语补足语。故填to admire。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:重新制作的制陶和务农场景让游客能够看到、听到甚至闻到早期定居者的生活气息。可数名词scene(场景)作主语,根据“pottery-making and farming”可知,场景包括制陶和务农,用复数形式。故填scenes。
【45题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:到目前为止,这种独特的体验让中国文化栩栩如生。bring(带来)是谓语动词,根据时间状语“So far”可知,讲述从过去持续到现在的事情,用现在完成时,主语experience(体验)是不可数名词,谓语动词用单数形式。故填has brought。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
In the corner of our basement sits a shelf filled with old radios — wooden boxes with metal buttons and antennas (天线), whose colors faded with time. To most, they might seem like waste. But to my grandfather, they were treasure chests of stories.
My grandfather grew up in a small mountain village, where the only way to hear news of the outside world was through an old, noisy and unclear radio that he fixed by connecting wires under high heat. “I didn’t understand most of the words,” he used to laugh. “But the music spoke to me.” Fixing radios became more than a hobby — it was how he reached out to the world. He learned everything through repeated trials, until broken silence turned into sound again.
My mother never planned to keep this habit. As a teenager, she preferred tape players and music that she could carry with her. But when Grandpa passed away, she couldn’t throw away his tools or the radios he left. “They’re part of him,” she once said, gently turning a round metal button on one of the radios. Slowly, she began trying to fix a few of them, not as an expert, but with care and curiosity.
By the time I was ten, I had watched my mother spend many weekends surrounded by small parts and wires. “Come and try with me,” she said one Saturday. “Let’s see if we can fix this one together.” I didn’t know what to do, and I didn’t even like machines. I enjoyed reading and drawing. But when she turned the button and a jazz tune started playing, I felt something touched me.
Soon, fixing radios became our weekly activity. She showed me how to look closely at every wire and tiny part, and how to be patient and listen carefully. “Sometimes the problem isn’t what you see,” she said. “It’s what you hear — or don’t hear.”
Unlike my mother, I fell in love with it quickly. I began collecting old radios from neighbors and even tried fixing ones that no longer worked. I didn’t just want to make them work — I wanted to bring back their sound.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

One winter evening, a sudden power cut hit our village.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When the power was restored, everyone thanked me for bringing them music.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
One winter evening, a sudden power cut hit our village. The whole village was swallowed by darkness, and the cold silence seemed to stretch endlessly. I quickly invited the neighbors over to my house. From a large box, I took out several radios I had repaired over the past few weeks — old sets they had once given me, broken and forgotten. I placed them on a wooden bench and began turning the metal buttons, adjusting the metal antennas one by one. Slowly, voices and music began to rise. People leaned in, eyes wide, smiles spreading across their anxious faces.
When the power was restored, everyone thanked me for bringing them music. However, I shook my head and said, “It wasn’t just me — it was Grandpa.” I began telling them how he had fixed his first radio before and how he passed that quiet love down to my mother. As I spoke, everyone listened carefully and nodded in agreement. That night, I understood something deeper: fixing radios wasn’t only about sound or skill — it was about connection. In moments of silence or trouble, these old radios carried more than news or music; they carried the stories of who we are. And as long as someone keeps tuning in, that story will continue.
