第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Yes, There’s a Museum for That!
Museums have changed. We’ll always have the Met in New York and the Louvre in Paris, but nowadays you’ll find a museum for absolutely everything and everyone. The following are some of the most fascinating museums based on their community importance, level of enjoyment, and the beauty of the collections.
Museum of Motherhood (MOM)
St. Petersburg, Florida
The Museum of Motherhood is the first of its kind — a museum and educational center covering the art, science and history of mothers.
“I watched a couple of kids from the local high school try on the pregnancy vests groaning (抱怨),” says museum founder Martha Joy Rose. “Within five minutes, they begged to take them off.”
National Comedy Center (NCC)
Jamestown, New York
Based in Lucille Ball’s hometown, this museum features exhibits such as Jerry Seinfeld’s puffy shirt and Joan Rivers’s card catalog of 65,000 jokes.
“Before visitors go through the entrance, they create their ‘sense of humor profile,’” says executive director Journey Gunderson. “They choose what they find funny, and the data is collected on a digital chip they wear on a wrist called a LaughBand so that the comedy content is customized based on their personal taste.”
Museum of Bad Art (MOBA)
Boston, Massachusetts
MOBA collects, exhibits and celebrates art that will be shown in no other museum. The museum’s new location, in the Dorchester Brewing Co., assumes visitors would need a drink after seeing this work.
Highlights include Lucy in the Field with Flowers, a painting found in 1993 leaning against a trash bin, waiting for garbage collection. A low point — and a must-see — is the painting Our Lady of Endless Housework.
1. What can be the main purpose of Museum of Motherhood?
A. To build social bonds among teenagers.
B. To offer parenting guidance for mothers.
C. To showcase art work created by mothers.
D. To deepen societal appreciation for motherhood.
2. How does NCC personalize their visitors’ experiences?
A. By using visitor preferences. B. By introducing wine industry.
C. By surveying the visitors’ needs. D. By applying interactive technology.
3. What do these museums have in common?
A. They grow out of unique ideas. B. They focus on community values.
C. They house priceless cultural treasures. D. They aim to refine artistic sensibilities.
B
The binder (活页夹) stared back at me. Yellowing papers and black-and-white photographs spilled out its sides. In handwritten Spanish, the label on its cover read Historia Antigua. Ancient History. This was clearly my grandfather’s handwriting. Within the first few pages, Abuelo had recounted centuries of our family’s history, including diaries, travelogues and letters from Abuelo’s youth — a treasure trove (宝库) of memories and research.
From that day on, I mostly read the Historia Antigua together with Abuelo. We discussed language, identity, and history; we drew and redrew family trees, and reviewed ancestors’ names and backstories as though they’d be coming over at any moment.
Recently, I began traveling the country to discuss my book about the search for traces of Abuelo’s father. What I’ve realized is that time and inertia (惰性) remain the biggest challenge to hearing our own stories. Once the guardians of the answers are gone, we are more likely to be left with heaps of documents to sort through — birth certificates, DNA results, unlabeled photographs — rather than hours of stories.
For those of us still lucky to do so, we must ask questions of our parents and grandparents now. Ask about otherwise ordinary objects that could contain clues about the past. Record kitchen table conversations or organize talk show-style interviews between older and younger relatives, with the rest of the family as the audience. If you are of an older generation, it is your turn to speak. Think about how you can make these stories come alive, and what tools you can use to spark interest among younger relatives.
Family stories are currency for survival. They make their way into the traditions we pick up along the journeys of our lives. They define who we are in worlds foreign and familiar, remembered now but forever at risk of being forgotten.
4. What is Historia Antigua mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. A story collection. B. A book on Spanish ancient history.
C. Grandfather’s diaries. D. A collection of family documents.
5. What can prevent people from learning about family stories?
A. The lack of interest in history. B. The complexity of family trees.
C. The delay of recording them. D. The absence of written records.
6. What does the author suggest readers do?
A. Reorganize family documents.
B. Spend more time reading family history.
C. Create family stories to entertain our family.
D. Engage older generation to preserve family stories.
7. What message about family stories is conveyed in the last paragraph?
A. They are hard to understand.
B. They are best left as mysteries.
C. They are essential for personal identity.
D. They are necessary to honor old generations.
C
Most of us have an “inner voice,” and we assume everybody does. Recent evidence suggests people vary widely in the extent to which they experience inner speech. The study by cognitive (认知的) scientists Gary Lupyan and Johanne Nedergaard shows these differences are real and impact our cognition.
As part of their ongoing research, Lupyan previously assessed 1,037 people using a measure called the Internal Representations Questionnaire (IRQ). For the verbal (口头的) part of the IRQ, participants indicated agreement with statements like: “I think about problems in my mind in the form of a conversation with myself” on a one-to-five rating.
For their new study, Lupyan and Nedergaard selected 47 participants who scored high for having an inner voice and 46 who scored low. They then gave participants four language-related tasks they thought might be influenced by the use of inner speech.
In the first, participants were shown five words and asked to repeat them back. The second involved saying whether the names of objects in two pictures rhymed. In both tasks, the group with less inner speech was less accurate. For the rhyme judgments, people with more inner speech were also faster.
“This study really tests what inner speech gives us in terms of cognitive benefits,” says psychologist Charles Fernyhough. The other two experiments tested task switching and participants’ ability to spot differences between two silhouettes (轮廓图形) that were from either the same or a different category. The groups showed no differences on these tasks. “People can probably employ numerous other strategies for task switching,” suggests Lupyan.
The research may have medical implications. “Someone with more inner speech might be more reliant on language in their thinking,” Lupyan says, “so language difficulty from a stroke (中风) could have a more severe effect.”
Understanding how inner speech develops has implications for education, says neuroscientist Ladislas Nalborczyk. “Variations in children’s ability to represent speech sounds may impact their ability to learn the relation between sounds and writing,” he says. This may affect the way they learn to read and write, which probably has a huge impact on education.
The researchers propose giving a lack of inner speech a name: “anendophasia.” “It helps scientists find and integrate research on a topic,” Lupyan says. “If people studying something are calling it by different names, the research becomes more disorganized.”
8. What was the purpose of using IRQ?
A. To change people’s experience of inner speech.
B. To find out how many people have an inner voice.
C. To measure people’s agreement with certain statements.
D. To make people think about problems in a conversation form.
9. How does inner speech help with tasks?
A. It offers more inspiration. B. It aids in better performance.
C. It makes people more patient. D. It changes the way of thinking.
10. What does Lupyan suggest about task switching?
A. Inner speech is the primary strategy for it.
B. It is mainly affected by external environment.
C. It can be achieved through various methods.
D. Inner speech has little influence on its complexity.
11. Why do the researchers try to name the lack of inner speech?
A. To make it easier to remember. B. To create a new concept for study.
C. To tell it apart from other speech forms. D. To assist scientists in arranging research on it.
D
At the newspaper I worked with, the topic on which my colleagues and I were most frequently asked to write was “information overload” and no, the irony (讽刺) wasn’t lost on us that publishing thousands of words on the problem was hardly going to help. It was obvious that the internet would dramatically worsen the problem of there being far too much to read.
But it wouldn’t last, because soon there’d be better technology to help us find the information we really value. The real trouble wasn’t information overload but “filter (过滤) failure”. All we really needed and would likely soon get — were better ways to filter the digital wheat from the chaff (壳).
It didn’t exactly work out that way. What happened, instead, was the ‘efficiency trap’. It’s true that the filters got much better: technologies such as Amazon’s recommendation engine are an excellent way to discover things to read, while social media, at its best, is like having thousands of unpaid assistants searching the globe for content you’re likely to find particularly fascinating. But the result hasn’t been better.
It’s easy to wonder if the solution might lie in consuming things more quickly, perhaps by listening to audiobooks on double-speed, or by pursuing the dream of learning to speed-read. (Recall Woody Allen’s line about taking a speed-reading course, then tackling War and Peace: “It’s about Russia.”) But there’s far too much content for that. ‘You will never be efficient enough to hear it all before you die.’
Fortunately, there are pieces of advice for navigating a world of endless information. Treat your to-read pile like a river, not a bucket — select freely without guilt. Focus not on collecting facts but on how reading reshapes your thinking. Most importantly, enjoy the present joy of reading; not every text must serve future gains to be worthwhile.
12. What does “the irony wasn’t lost on us” in paragraph 1 imply?
A. The writers had been very successful.
B. The writers knew their articles didn’t make sense.
C. The writers liked using jokes to talk about the topic.
D. The writers thought their articles would fix the problem.
13. What does the author think of the filtering technology?
A. It is a perfect solution. B. It doesn’t fix the problem.
C. It leads to efficiency trap. D. It is ineffective and risky.
14. The author mentions Woody Allen’s line to ________.
A. recommend a reading solution B. criticize quick reading
C. compare different reading methods D. encourage audiobooks
15. What does the author suggest regarding information overload?
A. Adopt a new mindset. B. Select useful texts.
C. Consume content faster. D. Focus on quantity.

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。
The scorching sun beat down on our sixth — grade class hiking through Blue Mountains. Mr. Thompson, our outdoor education teacher, kept reminding us: “Drink water, watch your footing, and remember-every scratch here could become a life lesson.”
My best mate Josh chuckled, balancing his water bottle like a circus act. “Relax, Em! We’ve done CPR drills a million times. What’s the worst that could —”
A sharp cry cut through the air.
Twenty meters ahead, Lily-the quiet exchange student from Japan-had stumbled into a dried riverbed. Her leg was pinned beneath a pointed rock, blood soaking through her trousers. “I... I think I heard a crack,” she whispered, her face ghostly pale.
Mr. Thompson knelt beside her, his voice steady but urgent. “Lily, don’t move. Everyone else-backpacks off! Josh, get the first aid kit. Emily, find two straight branches for splints (夹板). Now!”
My hands shook as I pressed a bandage against Lily’s wound. Josh froze, staring at the odd angle of her leg. “Focus!” Mr. Thompson snapped, his tone softening as he addressed Lily. “You’re doing brilliantly. Breathe slowly. Help’s coming.”
He turned to us, rapid — firing instructions:
“Josh-control bleeding. Use the pressure bandage from the yellow pouch.”
“Emily-stabilize the leg. Remember the ‘above and below’ rule for splint placement.”
“Sophie-call emergency services. GPS coordinates (坐标) are on my watch.”
Lily gripped my wrist as I positioned the branches. “Will I... walk again?” Her whisper sent chills down my spine.
“Of course you will,” I lied, recalling last week’s first — aid lecture: Broken bones risk infection. Immobilization is critical. I tightened the bandages, whispering apologies each time she screamed.
As dusk approached, the radio crackled with bad news — Ambulance needs 90 minutes. Josh suddenly lunged toward the first aid kit. “Her lips are turning blue! What if it’s shock?”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Lift her legs a bit more,” Mr. Thompson directed.

The binder (活页夹) stared back at me. Yellowing papers and black-and-white photographs spilled out its sides. In handwritten Spanish, the label on its cover read Historia Antigua. Ancient History. This was clearly my grandfather’s handwriting. Within the first few pages, Abuelo had recounted centuries of our family’s history, including diaries, travelogues and letters from Abuelo’s youth — a treasure trove (宝库) of memories and research.
From that day on, I mostly read the Historia Antigua together with Abuelo. We discussed language, identity, and history; we drew and redrew family trees, and reviewed ancestors’ names and backstories as though they’d be coming over at any moment.
Recently, I began traveling the country to discuss my book about the search for traces of Abuelo’s father. What I’ve realized is that time and inertia (惰性) remain the biggest challenge to hearing our own stories. Once the guardians of the answers are gone, we are more likely to be left with heaps of documents to sort through — birth certificates, DNA results, unlabeled photographs — rather than hours of stories.
For those of us still lucky to do so, we must ask questions of our parents and grandparents now. Ask about otherwise ordinary objects that could contain clues about the past. Record kitchen table conversations or organize talk show-style interviews between older and younger relatives, with the rest of the family as the audience. If you are of an older generation, it is your turn to speak. Think about how you can make these stories come alive, and what tools you can use to spark interest among younger relatives.
Family stories are currency for survival. They make their way into the traditions we pick up along the journeys of our lives. They define who we are in worlds foreign and familiar, remembered now but forever at risk of being forgotten.
4. What is Historia Antigua mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. A story collection. B. A book on Spanish ancient history.
C. Grandfather’s diaries. D. A collection of family documents.
5. What can prevent people from learning about family stories?
A. The lack of interest in history. B. The complexity of family trees.
C. The delay of recording them. D. The absence of written records.
6. What does the author suggest readers do?
A. Reorganize family documents.
B. Spend more time reading family history.
C. Create family stories to entertain our family.
D. Engage older generation to preserve family stories.
7. What message about family stories is conveyed in the last paragraph?
A. They are hard to understand.
B. They are best left as mysteries.
C. They are essential for personal identity.
D. They are necessary to honor old generations.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. C

They define who we are in worlds foreign and familiar, remembered now but forever at risk of being forgotten. (家族故事是维系生存的“通行货币”。它们融入我们人生旅途中所承袭的传统之中。它们定义了我们在陌生与熟悉的世界中的身份,它们此刻被铭记,却永远面临着被遗忘的风险)”可知,家族故事对于个人身份认同至关重要。故选C项。
C
Most of us have an “inner voice,” and we assume everybody does. Recent evidence suggests people vary widely in the extent to which they experience inner speech. The study by cognitive (认知的) scientists Gary Lupyan and Johanne Nedergaard shows these differences are real and impact our cognition.
As part of their ongoing research, Lupyan previously assessed 1,037 people using a measure called the Internal Representations Questionnaire (IRQ). For the verbal (口头的) part of the IRQ, participants indicated agreement with statements like: “I think about problems in my mind in the form of a conversation with myself” on a one-to-five rating.
For their new study, Lupyan and Nedergaard selected 47 participants who scored high for having an inner voice and 46 who scored low. They then gave participants four language-related tasks they thought might be influenced by the use of inner speech.
In the first, participants were shown five words and asked to repeat them back. The second involved saying whether the names of objects in two pictures rhymed. In both tasks, the group with less inner speech was less accurate. For the rhyme judgments, people with more inner speech were also faster.
“This study really tests what inner speech gives us in terms of cognitive benefits,” says psychologist Charles Fernyhough. The other two experiments tested task switching and participants’ ability to spot differences between two silhouettes (轮廓图形) that were from either the same or a different category. The groups showed no differences on these tasks. “People can probably employ numerous other strategies for task switching,” suggests Lupyan.
The research may have medical implications. “Someone with more inner speech might be more reliant on language in their thinking,” Lupyan says, “so language difficulty from a stroke (中风) could have a more severe effect.”
Understanding how inner speech develops has implications for education, says neuroscientist Ladislas Nalborczyk. “Variations in children’s ability to represent speech sounds may impact their ability to learn the relation between sounds and writing,” he says. This may affect the way they learn to read and write, which probably has a huge impact on education.
The researchers propose giving a lack of inner speech a name: “anendophasia.” “It helps scientists find and integrate research on a topic,” Lupyan says. “If people studying something are calling it by different names, the research becomes more disorganized.”
8. What was the purpose of using IRQ?
A. To change people’s experience of inner speech.
B. To find out how many people have an inner voice.
C. To measure people’s agreement with certain statements.
D. To make people think about problems in a conversation form.
9. How does inner speech help with tasks?
A. It offers more inspiration. B. It aids in better performance.
C. It makes people more patient. D. It changes the way of thinking.
10. What does Lupyan suggest about task switching?
A. Inner speech is the primary strategy for it.
B. It is mainly affected by external environment.
C. It can be achieved through various methods.
D. Inner speech has little influence on its complexity.
11. Why do the researchers try to name the lack of inner speech?
A. To make it easier to remember. B. To create a new concept for study.
C. To tell it apart from other speech forms. D. To assist scientists in arranging research on it.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了一项关于内心话语的研究,探究其对人们完成语言类任务的影响,还阐述了该研究在医学、教育领域的意义以及命名相关现象的原因。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“For the verbal (口头的) part of the IRQ, participants indicated agreement with statements like: “I think about problems in my mind in the form of a conversation with myself” on a one-to-five rating.(在内在表征问卷的口头测试部分,参与者按照一至五分制,表明自己对诸如“我在脑海中以自我对话的形式思考问题”这类说法的认同程度。)” 可知,使用该问卷的目的是衡量人们对特定表述的认同程度。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“In both tasks, the group with less inner speech was less accurate. For the rhyme judgments, people with more inner speech were also faster.(在这两项任务中,内心话语较少的一组准确率更低。而在押韵判断任务里,内心话语丰富的人作答速度也更快。)”可知,内心话语有助于人们在任务中表现得更好。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“People can probably employ numerous other strategies for task switching,(人们或许可以运用许多其他方法来完成任务转换,)”可知,卢皮扬认为任务转换可以通过多种方式实现。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段““It helps scientists find and integrate research on a topic,” Lupyan says. “If people studying something are calling it by different names, the research becomes more disorganized.”(卢皮扬说:“它有助于科学家发现和整合某一主题的研究。如果研究某事物的人用不同的名字称呼它,研究就会变得更加混乱。”)”可知,研究者为“无内心话语”现象命名,是为了方便科学家整理相关研究。
D
At the newspaper I worked with, the topic on which my colleagues and I were most frequently asked to write was “information overload” and no, the irony (讽刺) wasn’t lost on us that publishing thousands of words on the problem was hardly going to help. It was obvious that the internet would dramatically worsen the problem of there being far too much to read.
But it wouldn’t last, because soon there’d be better technology to help us find the information we really value. The real trouble wasn’t information overload but “filter (过滤) failure”. All we really needed and would likely soon get — were better ways to filter the digital wheat from the chaff (壳).
It didn’t exactly work out that way. What happened, instead, was the ‘efficiency trap’. It’s true that the filters got much better: technologies such as Amazon’s recommendation engine are an excellent way to discover things to read, while social media, at its best, is like having thousands of unpaid assistants searching the globe for content you’re likely to find particularly fascinating. But the result hasn’t been better.
It’s easy to wonder if the solution might lie in consuming things more quickly, perhaps by listening to audiobooks on double-speed, or by pursuing the dream of learning to speed-read. (Recall Woody Allen’s line about taking a speed-reading course, then tackling War and Peace: “It’s about Russia.”) But there’s far too much content for that. ‘You will never be efficient enough to hear it all before you die.’
Fortunately, there are pieces of advice for navigating a world of endless information. Treat your to-read pile like a river, not a bucket — select freely without guilt. Focus not on collecting facts but on how reading reshapes your thinking. Most importantly, enjoy the present joy of reading; not every text must serve future gains to be worthwhile.
12. What does “the irony wasn’t lost on us” in paragraph 1 imply?
A. The writers had been very successful.
B. The writers knew their articles didn’t make sense.
C. The writers liked using jokes to talk about the topic.
D. The writers thought their articles would fix the problem.
13. What does the author think of the filtering technology?
A. It is a perfect solution. B. It doesn’t fix the problem.
C. It leads to efficiency trap. D. It is ineffective and risky.
14. The author mentions Woody Allen’s line to ________.
A. recommend a reading solution B. criticize quick reading
C. compare different reading methods D. encourage audiobooks
15. What does the author suggest regarding information overload?
A. Adopt a new mindset. B. Select useful texts.
C. Consume content faster. D. Focus on quantity.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了信息过载问题及应对建议。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“At the newspaper I worked with, the topic on which my colleagues and I were most frequently asked to write was “information overload” and no, the irony (讽刺) wasn’t lost on us that publishing thousands of words on the problem was hardly going to help. It was obvious that the internet would dramatically worsen the problem of there being far too much to read.(在我工作的报社,我和同事们最常被要求写的主题就是“信息过载”。是的,我们很清楚其中的讽刺意味:就这个问题发表数千字的文章,几乎无助于解决问题。显而易见,互联网会急剧恶化可读内容过多的问题)”可知,作者和同事们最常被要求写的主题是“信息过载”,但他们意识到发表数千字关于这个问题的文章几乎无济于事,这是一种讽刺。因此,“the irony wasn’t lost on us”意味着作者和同事们知道他们的文章没有意义。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。 根据第三段“It’s true that the filters got much better: technologies such as Amazon’s recommendation engine are an excellent way to discover things to read, while social media, at its best, is like having thousands of unpaid assistants searching the globe for content you’re likely to find particularly fascinating. But the result hasn’t been better.(的确,过滤器变得更好了:亚马逊的推荐引擎等技术是发现阅读内容的绝佳方式,而社交媒体在最好的情况下,就像有成千上万的无偿助手在全球搜索你可能会发现特别有趣的内容。但结果并没有更好)”可知,作者认为虽然过滤技术变得更好了,但结果并没有变得更好。因此,作者认为过滤技术并没有解决问题。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。 根据第四段“It’s easy to wonder if the solution might lie in consuming things more quickly, perhaps by listening to audiobooks on double-speed, or by pursuing the dream of learning to speed-read. (Recall Woody Allen’s line about taking a speed-reading course, then tackling War and Peace: “It’s about Russia.”) But there’s far too much content for that. ‘You will never be efficient enough to hear it all before you die.’(人们很容易认为解决方案可能在于更快地消费内容,比如用双倍速听有声书,或者追求学会快速阅读的梦想。(回想一下伍迪·艾伦关于参加速读课程后阅读《战争与和平》的台词:“讲的是俄罗斯的事。”)但内容太多了,根本读不完。“你永远无法高效到在死前读完所有内容。”)”可知,作者提到Woody Allen的话是为了批评快速阅读的方法,认为即使快速阅读也无法处理完所有的信息。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。 根据最后一段“Fortunately, there are pieces of advice for navigating a world of endless information. Treat your to-read pile like a river, not a bucket — select freely without guilt. Focus not on collecting facts but on how reading reshapes your thinking. Most importantly, enjoy the present joy of reading; not every text must serve future gains to be worthwhile.(幸运的是,对于在信息无穷无尽的世界中导航,有一些建议。把你的阅读堆当作一条河,而不是一个水桶——自由选择,不要内疚。不要专注于收集事实,而要关注阅读如何重塑你的思维。最重要的是,享受阅读的乐趣;并非每一篇文章都必须为未来的利益服务才有价值)”可知,作者建议读者采取新的心态来应对信息过载的问题,如自由选择阅读材料、关注阅读如何重塑思维以及享受阅读的乐趣等。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】文章主要通过外国游客和旅居者的经历,展现了中国公共安全体系下的信任与温暖。
【36题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:他们的婴儿手推车无法被带上缆车。空处为句子的谓语动词,主语Their baby’s stroller与谓语动词take之间是被动关系,且空前有could not,所以此处需用被动语态:be done,take的过去分词为taken。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:他们毫不犹豫地将孩子托付给公园保安,他及时的帮助赢得了其他游客的赞赏。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词a park security guard,且关系词在从句中作定语,修饰timely help,所以用关系代词whose引导该从句。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这一事件引发了网络上的热烈讨论,许多网友认为这一行为凸显了信任与关怀,而这正是中国公共安全理念的基石。此处为“with+宾语+宾语补足语”的复合结构,netizens与view“看待”之间是主动关系,故用现在分词作宾补。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意:同上。根据空前the和空后of可知,空处需填名词形式,found的名词形式为foundation,意为“基础”。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:曾游历过中国各地的Garima生动地描述了让她感到宾至如归的安保措施。空处需用副词修饰动词described作状语,vivid的副词形式为vividly“生动地”。
【41题详解】
考查名词性从句。句意:给她印象最深的是无处不在的监控摄像头和警察的友善。空处引导主语从句,且在从句中作主语,表示“……的事物”,所以用连接代词what引导该从句,首字母大写。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:“当我有问题时,他们总是愿意提供帮助,”她说。be willing to do sth.“愿意做某事”,所以此处需用不定式。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:Sharma认为,中国的模式表明,先进技术的发展不必以牺牲个人自由为代价。固定搭配at the cost of...“以……为代价”,所以此处需用介词at。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:相反,它能实现一种全天候的独特安全保障与社会安宁。此处表示泛指“一种……”,且unique是以辅音音素开头的单词,需用不定冠词a。
【45题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:在过去的五年里,从繁华都市到偏远乡村,他一直感受到人们乐于助人的一致意愿……。空处为句子的谓语动词,根据时间状语Over the past 5 years可知,句子时态需用现在完成时:have/has done,主语he是第三人称单数,助动词用has。

【答案】例文
Windows, Not Just Mirrors: Redefining Study Tours
Recently, I’ve found our overseas study tours focus too much on sightseeing instead of real cultural exchange. We seldom connect with local people or their lifestyles.
Overseas tours are about deeper connections, not just tourism. We can arrange homestays for students to experience daily life directly. We can also offer hands-on activities like local cooking, traditional craft workshops or music lessons, which encourage active participation and meaningful communication. Besides, letting students shadow a local peer for a full day provides an authentic insight into their life and education.
I sincerely hope these proposals will be adopted to create truly immersive and rewarding study tour experiences.

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。
The scorching sun beat down on our sixth — grade class hiking through Blue Mountains. Mr. Thompson, our outdoor education teacher, kept reminding us: “Drink water, watch your footing, and remember-every scratch here could become a life lesson.”
My best mate Josh chuckled, balancing his water bottle like a circus act. “Relax, Em! We’ve done CPR drills a million times. What’s the worst that could —”
A sharp cry cut through the air.
Twenty meters ahead, Lily-the quiet exchange student from Japan-had stumbled into a dried riverbed. Her leg was pinned beneath a pointed rock, blood soaking through her trousers. “I... I think I heard a crack,” she whispered, her face ghostly pale.
Mr. Thompson knelt beside her, his voice steady but urgent. “Lily, don’t move. Everyone else-backpacks off! Josh, get the first aid kit. Emily, find two straight branches for splints (夹板). Now!”
My hands shook as I pressed a bandage against Lily’s wound. Josh froze, staring at the odd angle of her leg. “Focus!” Mr. Thompson snapped, his tone softening as he addressed Lily. “You’re doing brilliantly. Breathe slowly. Help’s coming.”
He turned to us, rapid — firing instructions:
“Josh-control bleeding. Use the pressure bandage from the yellow pouch.”
“Emily-stabilize the leg. Remember the ‘above and below’ rule for splint placement.”
“Sophie-call emergency services. GPS coordinates (坐标) are on my watch.”
Lily gripped my wrist as I positioned the branches. “Will I... walk again?” Her whisper sent chills down my spine.
“Of course you will,” I lied, recalling last week’s first — aid lecture: Broken bones risk infection. Immobilization is critical. I tightened the bandages, whispering apologies each time she screamed.
As dusk approached, the radio crackled with bad news — Ambulance needs 90 minutes. Josh suddenly lunged toward the first aid kit. “Her lips are turning blue! What if it’s shock?”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Lift her legs a bit more,” Mr. Thompson directed.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At last, the ambulance arrived.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
“Lift her legs a bit more,” Mr. Thompson directed. He wrapped an emergency blanket around her. “Keep talking to her — anything to keep her awake.” Sophie, Josh and I took turns telling jokes that made Lily groan despite the pain. Her faint laughter was the sweetest sound. But as the air grew colder, her grip weakened. “Stay with us,” Mr. Thompson urged. “Tell us about Tokyo’s cherry blossoms,” I added softly. She described busy markets and pink skies, struggling to stay conscious.
At last, the ambulance arrived. The paramedics checked our work and nodded. “Great job — you stabilized her perfectly.” Lily squeezed my hand weakly before they carried her away. Three weeks later, she returned to class, slightly lame but bright. She placed a paper crane on my desk. “In Japan, this crane stands for healing. You helped me hold on.” Deeply moved, I decided then that I would always be someone who help people stand up again when they fall.
【解析】
【导语】本文以一次户外徒步为线索展开。六年级学生在蓝山徒步时,日本交换生莉莉不慎跌入干涸河床,腿部被尖石压住骨折。众人紧急施救,老师指挥分工止血、固定伤腿并呼叫救援,但救护车需90分钟才能到达,此时莉莉出现休克症状。
【详解】1.段落续写

②由第二段句首内容“终于,救护车到了。”可知,第二段可以描写救护车赶到,医护人员肯定了大家的急救措施,莉莉被送走;三周后莉莉康复返校,送给作者象征康复的纸鹤并表达感谢,作者深受触动并立下要帮助他人的志向,点明文章主旨。
2.续写线索:汤普森先生指挥——众人施救 —— 不断鼓励维持清醒 —— 救护车赶到——送医救治 ——莉莉康复返校致谢 —— 收到纸鹤深受感动 —— 立下助人志向升华主旨
