Llywelyn Williams, a four-time world champion adaptive surfer, says an accident that happened in his teenage years actually made his life better.
In 2011, he was hit by a car, which left him seriously injured. While in a coma(昏迷) in hospital, he dreamed of a surfboard saving him from a bright light. He felt it was not his time to die. When a friend visited him and asked what he wanted to do, Williams answered he wanted to continue surfing in Australia, for he had already loved surfing since he just learned walking.
The injury was so severe that his parents had to sign a paper to have his right leg amputated. His father said it was the hardest decision, yet the only way to save him. He also recalled crying alone after telling his son to be strong.
Williams’ recovery was all about getting back to the ocean. When he returned to the water, he felt born again. His friends carried him into the sea, which his mother referred to as a “beautiful moment”. Williams learned to do almost everything with one leg, except using a wheelbarrow.
At 18, he went to Australia with his family, surfing along the coast and living in a camper van. Now he returns each year for competitions. In March 2026, he won a championship in Australia and proudly held the Welsh flag. In May, he came third in another contest in Hawaii.
He pays for his trips himself and thanks his supporters. He also works with others to get adaptive surfing into the Paralympic Games. Williams says surfing has been a huge part of his recovery, and the adaptive surfing community has helped him greatly. He believes that even with disability, nothing is impossible.
24. What inspired Williams to surf after the accident?
A. His athletic talent. B. His friend’s encouragement.
C. His lifelong love for it. D. His memory of childhood.
25. What does the underlined word “amputated” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Displayed. B. Removed. C. Covered. D. Checked.
26. How might Williams feel when carried into water?
A. Energized. B. Regretful. C. Confused. D. Curious.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Williams?
A. Warm-hearted and gifted. B. Generous and honest.
C. Brave and strong-willed. D. Humorous and outgoing.

Are you feeling tired most of the time? Are you feeling alone, negative or helpless? Do you feel like life is getting on top of you and you seem unable to keep up with the demands of your to-do list at work or at home? These are all signs that you could be heading towards burnout.
Burnout is something that can happen to anyone, at any stage of life. Whether you’re a parent or caregiver trying to balance your responsibilities with everyday life, a healthcare worker under pressure, a student with numerous deadlines, or a retiree fresh out of the workplace going through a big life transition(转变), burnout treats everyone fairly. It’s often linked to stress in the workplace, but jobs aren’t the only source of long-term stress that can lead to burnout.
In the modern world, the pressure, which can slowly wear down our energy and cloud our judgment over time, is on when we want to do anything well. It’s all around us, within our own social circles, and also through social media, where we can easily take a look at what other people’s lives look like. Burnout is becoming more and more common globally as we’re in a storm of seeking the perfect state. We’re pushing ourselves harder than ever to achieve perfection at work and at home, while also being made to feel like taking any rest is lazy or unproductive by outside influences.
But burnout is nothing to be ashamed of. It’s a normal and expected result of long-term suffering; it’s not a personal failure and it doesn’t mean you’re not able to recover. Actually, it just shows that your way of handling pressure needs reconsideration, and you ought to explore further to keep your mental state balanced in busy daily life.
28. What does “burnout” refer to?
A. A pile of negative personal habits. B. A state caused by extreme stress.
C. A feeling of sadness at work. D. A new fashion among young people.
29. What can be inferred about burnout from paragraph 2?
A. It hardly ever lasts long. B. It may have no link with career.
C. Retirement protects people against it. D. Life changes are the main cause of it.
30. What contributes to the global rise of burnout?
A. A strong desire to achieve perfection. B. Wider access to online education.
C. The absolute belief in individual talent. D. Lower expectations for the future.
31. What might the author continue to talk about?
A. Factors leading to burnout. B. Benefits of social communication.
C. Approaches to dealing with burnout. D. Misunderstandings about rest.
D
A common houseplant, the Chinese money plant, hides a beautiful geometric secret within its leaves: a special pattern called a Voronoi diagram. In this mathematical design, a surface is divided into areas, each area being closest to a certain point. This pattern appears naturally in the leaf vein(叶脉) structure. Researcher Elijah Blum and his workmates published their findings in Nature Communications, helping to explain how this lovely design comes about.
Blum first noticed the unusual vein arrangement while taking care of his sister’s plant during high school. At that time, he was a student helper at a research laboratory in New York. He shared what he found with his guide, a computer scientist. When they held the leaf up to the light, they immediately saw a pattern that is also seen on giraffe skin and dragonfly wings, but here it was specially arranged around the leaf’s water-releasing holes.
The research team used computer models to study how this pattern develops. Unlike the branching process commonly seen in other plants, their computer tests showed a different way. As the plant’s leaves grow, waves of a plant chemical spread outward from each hole. These waves meet one another, forming raised lines that finally become the leaf’s main veins. This process creates a true Voronoi pattern, with each hole acting as the center of its nearby area.
Why does this pattern help the plant? A team member suggests it may be a useful strategy. By placing the main water-carrying veins as far as possible from the water-releasing holes — where water quickly turns into vapor(蒸汽) — the plant reduces water loss while keeping good resource flow.
Plant biologist Lawren Sack, who was not involved in the study, praised the work as a “beautiful” example of nature’s efficiency. He noted that leaf veins “have so much to tell us” about improving the movement of resources. Past research on vein patterns has already inspired innovations in solar panel design, electronic circuits, and irrigation(灌溉) systems. “The more we know about leaf veins,” he said, “the more we can build functional and beautiful systems around us.”
32. What did Blum first discover about the Chinese money plant?
A. Its veins show a special pattern. B. It matters a lot in the ecosystem.
C. It grows faster than most other wild plants. D. Its leaves release water through small holes.
33. What can be known about the veins?
A. They follow the common branching pattern.
B. They keep moving toward water-releasing holes.
C. They develop before chemical waves spread out.
D. They come into shape where chemical waves meet.
34. How does the vein pattern benefit the Chinese money plant?
A. By enabling it to take in more sunlight.
B. By allowing it to grow in drier conditions.
C. By defending its leaves against strong winds.
D. By stopping water from escaping its leaves rapidly.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. New Inventions Inspired by Leaf Veins
B. A Hidden Pattern in a Houseplant’s Leaves
C. Ways to Take Care of Your Chinese Money Plant
D. The Importance of Water-Releasing Holes in Plants

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Nearly every environmental factor is working against us on planes, making it near impossible to get to sleep. Inside an airplane, not only are we sitting upright, but light and noise are unpredictable and largely outside our control. ___36___ The air on planes is dry, which can contribute to dehydration (脱水), and long-distance flight schedules often don’t line up with our normal sleep window.
How to actually sleep on a plane? Unfortunately, there is no single miracle trick to ensure you get a few hours of sleep on a plane. But there are some practical strategies to improve your chance of getting some sleep on a plane.
___37___ You can’t control what others do when the cabin (机舱) lights dim, but you can take control of your personal environment. Pack an eye mask to create darkness, and earplugs or noise-canceling headphones to keep away the noise of engines or the endless chatter of the person around you.
Prepare before you board. ___38___ Before a long flight, avoid heavy meals and caffeine and stay hydrated. Some travelers may benefit from carefully timed melatonin (褪黑素) under medical guidance, or apps that gradually shift sleep schedules toward the destination time zone.
Create a familiar, calming routine. To work with your body clock, adopt home sleep habits in the air. Wear comfortable clothing and swap your screen for a book, podcast, or audiobook as “lights out” approaches. ___39___
Adjust your expectations. ___40___ Even with perfect preparation, be realistic. Control what you can, and accept that some variables — from chatty seatmates to turbulence— will always be out of your control.
A. Don’t seek perfection.
B. Find ways to deal with light and noise.
C. And you can get discouraged and anxious.
D. Good in-flight sleep starts on the ground.
E. Cabin conditions and timing add to the challenge.
F. It implies that this is a safe and proper place for bed.
G. Still, some people can get a great sleep on an airplane.

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。
When our school announced a competition to design a “Community Memory Exhibit”, my heart raced. Ever since childhood, I had been fascinated by film—staying up late to edit raw videos, weaving stories out of light and shadow. This, I thought, was finally my chance. I pictured a short documentary, created entirely on my own, which would outshine any poster.
I had already mapped out interviews, detailed shot lists, even the closing narration. Yet before I could begin, our history teacher, Mr. Hughes, drew me aside. “Lena,” he said gently, “this year you’ll work with three others to create one piece of work.”
Hearing that, I felt my heart sank. The others? Mateo, a sculptor absorbed in abstract(抽象的) forms; Ivy, who communicated mostly through guitar; and Nora, a photographer who rarely lifted her eyes from her camera. None shared my love for film. My first response was to refuse, but Mr. Hughes only smiled: “Give it a try.”
Our first meeting was nothing short of disastrous. Mateo talked about “catching the essence of forgotten spaces”. Ivy played music that didn’t match anything, while Nora silently showed her photos. I presented my documentary plan, but it was met with near silence. Anger filled me, and I nearly gave up.
Still, something held me back. Perhaps it was the way Nora focused her camera on an abandoned train station, or the way Ivy’s music seemed to mirror the noise of old tracks. A thought struck me: were we, in our own separate languages, attempting to tell the same story? Then Mr. Hughes’ words returned to me: Give it a try. Perhaps this was not about proving myself alone, but about discovering what we could create together.
I stepped back from the door, took my seat, and looked at them. “We’re a team,” I said firmly. “We need to work together. What about finding a way to bring all our talents together?” For a moment, no one spoke, but then they each gave a quiet nod, an unspoken agreement passing among us. Then, we had a heated discussion.
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。
Finally, we decided on Nora’s train station project.

【解析】
【原文】W: Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome back to our school radio program. Today, let’s talk about a heartwarming trend: a new facility popping up in malls across China — the rise of “father and baby rooms”. Unlike traditional mother and baby rooms, these spaces focus on basic care, feeding, and rest. They are designed to encourage fathers to be more involved in taking care of the baby. This small change reflects a big transformation of Chinese family values. Fathers are no longer just supporters of their family; they are becoming full partners in raising children. One expert said this evolution shows that our society is moving toward a more balanced model of shared parenting. So next time you visit a mall, keep an eye out for these rooms. They’re not just a place to rest; they’re a sign that parenting is becoming a team effort, one that benefits both children and families.

Llywelyn Williams, a four-time world champion adaptive surfer, says an accident that happened in his teenage years actually made his life better.
In 2011, he was hit by a car, which left him seriously injured. While in a coma(昏迷) in hospital, he dreamed of a surfboard saving him from a bright light. He felt it was not his time to die. When a friend visited him and asked what he wanted to do, Williams answered he wanted to continue surfing in Australia, for he had already loved surfing since he just learned walking.
The injury was so severe that his parents had to sign a paper to have his right leg amputated. His father said it was the hardest decision, yet the only way to save him. He also recalled crying alone after telling his son to be strong.
Williams’ recovery was all about getting back to the ocean. When he returned to the water, he felt born again. His friends carried him into the sea, which his mother referred to as a “beautiful moment”. Williams learned to do almost everything with one leg, except using a wheelbarrow.
At 18, he went to Australia with his family, surfing along the coast and living in a camper van. Now he returns each year for competitions. In March 2026, he won a championship in Australia and proudly held the Welsh flag. In May, he came third in another contest in Hawaii.
He pays for his trips himself and thanks his supporters. He also works with others to get adaptive surfing into the Paralympic Games. Williams says surfing has been a huge part of his recovery, and the adaptive surfing community has helped him greatly. He believes that even with disability, nothing is impossible.
24. What inspired Williams to surf after the accident?
A. His athletic talent. B. His friend’s encouragement.
C. His lifelong love for it. D. His memory of childhood.
25. What does the underlined word “amputated” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Displayed. B. Removed. C. Covered. D. Checked.
26. How might Williams feel when carried into water?
A. Energized. B. Regretful. C. Confused. D. Curious.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Williams?
A. Warm-hearted and gifted. B. Generous and honest.

Are you feeling tired most of the time? Are you feeling alone, negative or helpless? Do you feel like life is getting on top of you and you seem unable to keep up with the demands of your to-do list at work or at home? These are all signs that you could be heading towards burnout.
Burnout is something that can happen to anyone, at any stage of life. Whether you’re a parent or caregiver trying to balance your responsibilities with everyday life, a healthcare worker under pressure, a student with numerous deadlines, or a retiree fresh out of the workplace going through a big life transition(转变), burnout treats everyone fairly. It’s often linked to stress in the workplace, but jobs aren’t the only source of long-term stress that can lead to burnout.
In the modern world, the pressure, which can slowly wear down our energy and cloud our judgment over time, is on when we want to do anything well. It’s all around us, within our own social circles, and also through social media, where we can easily take a look at what other people’s lives look like. Burnout is becoming more and more common globally as we’re in a storm of seeking the perfect state. We’re pushing ourselves harder than ever to achieve perfection at work and at home, while also being made to feel like taking any rest is lazy or unproductive by outside influences.
But burnout is nothing to be ashamed of. It’s a normal and expected result of long-term suffering; it’s not a personal failure and it doesn’t mean you’re not able to recover. Actually, it just shows that your way of handling pressure needs reconsideration, and you ought to explore further to keep your mental state balanced in busy daily life.
28. What does “burnout” refer to?
A. A pile of negative personal habits. B. A state caused by extreme stress.
C. A feeling of sadness at work. D. A new fashion among young people.
29. What can be inferred about burnout from paragraph 2?
A. It hardly ever lasts long. B. It may have no link with career.
C. Retirement protects people against it. D. Life changes are the main cause of it.
30. What contributes to the global rise of burnout?
A. A strong desire to achieve perfection. B. Wider access to online education.
C. The absolute belief in individual talent. D. Lower expectations for the future.
31. What might the author continue to talk about?
A. Factors leading to burnout. B. Benefits of social communication.
C. Approaches to dealing with burnout. D. Misunderstandings about rest.
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】文章引入倦怠这一概念,指出倦怠可发生在各个年龄段的任何人身上,并非仅来源于工作压力;分析了全球倦怠现象日益普遍的原因,即人们普遍追求完美;最后纠正认知误区,说明倦怠并不可耻,只是长期重压下身体发出的休养提醒。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Are you feeling tired most of the time? Are you feeling alone, negative or helpless? Do you feel like life is getting on top of you and you seem unable to keep up with the demands of your to-do list at work or at home? These are all signs that you could be heading towards burnout.(你是否大部分时间都感到疲惫?你是否感到孤独、消极或无助?你是否感觉生活压得你喘不过气,似乎无法完成工作或家庭待办清单上的任务?这些都是你可能即将陷入倦怠的迹象)”以及第二段“Burnout is something that can happen to anyone, at any stage of life. Whether you’re a parent or caregiver trying to balance your responsibilities with everyday life, a healthcare worker under pressure, a student with numerous deadlines, or a retiree fresh out of the workplace going through a big life transition(转变), burnout treats everyone fairly. It’s often linked to stress in the workplace, but jobs aren’t the only source of long-term stress that can lead to burnout.(倦怠可能发生在任何人身上,人生的任何阶段都难以幸免。无论你是努力平衡日常琐事与责任的家长或看护人、承受压力的医护工作者、有着大量截止任务的学生,还是刚离开职场、正经历重大人生转变的退休人员,倦怠对所有人一视同仁。它常常和工作压力相关,但工作并非引发倦怠的唯一长期压力来源)”可知,倦怠是由巨大压力造成的一种状态。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“It’s often linked to stress in the workplace, but jobs aren’t the only source of long-term stress that can lead to burnout.(它常和工作压力有关,但工作并非会引发倦怠的唯一长期压力来源)”可知,倦怠有可能和职业没有关联。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Burnout is becoming more and more common globally as we’re in a storm of seeking the perfect state. We’re pushing ourselves harder than ever to achieve perfection at work and at home(在全球范围内,倦怠正变得越来越普遍,因为我们身处追求完美状态的浪潮之中。我们比以往任何时候都更逼迫自己,要在工作与家庭中做到完美)”可知,强烈的追求完美的渴望造成倦怠在全球增多。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“But burnout is nothing to be ashamed of. It’s a normal and expected result of long-term suffering; it’s not a personal failure and it doesn’t mean you’re not able to recover. Actually, it just shows that your way of handling pressure needs reconsideration, and you ought to explore further to keep your mental state balanced in busy daily life.(但是倦怠无需感到羞愧。它是长期承受压力所产生的正常、可预见的结果;它不是个人的失败,也不代表你无法恢复。事实上,这只说明你应对压力的方式需要重新思考,你应该进一步探索方法,在繁忙日常生活中保持心理状态平衡)”可知,本段介绍倦怠并不可怕,需要调整应对压力的方式,下文最有可能介绍应对倦怠的方法。

A common houseplant, the Chinese money plant, hides a beautiful geometric secret within its leaves: a special pattern called a Voronoi diagram. In this mathematical design, a surface is divided into areas, each area being closest to a certain point. This pattern appears naturally in the leaf vein(叶脉) structure. Researcher Elijah Blum and his workmates published their findings in Nature Communications, helping to explain how this lovely design comes about.
Blum first noticed the unusual vein arrangement while taking care of his sister’s plant during high school. At that time, he was a student helper at a research laboratory in New York. He shared what he found with his guide, a computer scientist. When they held the leaf up to the light, they immediately saw a pattern that is also seen on giraffe skin and dragonfly wings, but here it was specially arranged around the leaf’s water-releasing holes.
The research team used computer models to study how this pattern develops. Unlike the branching process commonly seen in other plants, their computer tests showed a different way. As the plant’s leaves grow, waves of a plant chemical spread outward from each hole. These waves meet one another, forming raised lines that finally become the leaf’s main veins. This process creates a true Voronoi pattern, with each hole acting as the center of its nearby area.
Why does this pattern help the plant? A team member suggests it may be a useful strategy. By placing the main water-carrying veins as far as possible from the water-releasing holes — where water quickly turns into vapor(蒸汽) — the plant reduces water loss while keeping good resource flow.
Plant biologist Lawren Sack, who was not involved in the study, praised the work as a “beautiful” example of nature’s efficiency. He noted that leaf veins “have so much to tell us” about improving the movement of resources. Past research on vein patterns has already inspired innovations in solar panel design, electronic circuits, and irrigation(灌溉) systems. “The more we know about leaf veins,” he said, “the more we can build functional and beautiful systems around us.”
32. What did Blum first discover about the Chinese money plant?
A. Its veins show a special pattern. B. It matters a lot in the ecosystem.
C. It grows faster than most other wild plants. D. Its leaves release water through small holes.
33. What can be known about the veins?
A. They follow the common branching pattern.
B. They keep moving toward water-releasing holes.
C. They develop before chemical waves spread out.
D. They come into shape where chemical waves meet.
34. How does the vein pattern benefit the Chinese money plant?
A. By enabling it to take in more sunlight.
B. By allowing it to grow in drier conditions.
C. By defending its leaves against strong winds.
D. By stopping water from escaping its leaves rapidly.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. New Inventions Inspired by Leaf Veins
B. A Hidden Pattern in a Houseplant’s Leaves
C. Ways to Take Care of Your Chinese Money Plant
D. The Importance of Water-Releasing Holes in Plants
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍研究者Elijah Blum在镜面草(中国金钱草)的叶脉中发现了一种名为沃罗诺伊图的几何图案,介绍该图案的形成过程以及这种叶脉结构对植物自身的好处,这项发现还能给工程领域的创新带来启发。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第二段“Blum first noticed the unusual vein arrangement while taking care of his sister’s plant during high school.(高中时期,Blum在照料他姐姐的植物时,第一次注意到这种不寻常的叶脉排列。)”可知,Blum最先发现这种植物的叶脉呈现出一种特殊的图案。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第三段“As the plant’s leaves grow, waves of a plant chemical spread outward from each hole. These waves meet one another, forming raised lines that finally become the leaf’s main veins.(当植物的叶片生长时,一种植物化学物质的波从每个小孔向外扩散。这些波相互交汇,形成隆起的线条,这些线条最终成为叶片的主叶脉。)”可知,叶脉在化学物质的波相遇的地方形成。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第四段“By placing the main water-carrying veins as far as possible from the water-releasing holes — where water quickly turns into vapor (蒸汽) — the plant reduces water loss while keeping good resource flow.(通过将主要输水叶脉安置在尽可能远离排水孔(水分会在这里快速变成蒸汽)的位置,这种植物在保持良好资源流通的同时减少水分流失。)”可知,这种叶脉结构可以阻止水分快速从叶片流失。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据原文第一段“A common houseplant, the Chinese money plant, hides a beautiful geometric secret within its leaves: a special pattern called a Voronoi diagram.(一种常见室内植物——镜面草,在它的叶片中藏着一个美丽的几何秘密:一种叫做沃罗诺伊图的特殊图案。)”及全文内容可知,全文围绕室内植物叶片里隐藏的特殊图案展开介绍,介绍该图案的形成过程以及这种叶脉结构对植物自身的好处,这项发现还能给工程领域的创新带来启发,所以最佳标题是“一种室内植物叶片中隐藏的图案”。

Nearly every environmental factor is working against us on planes, making it near impossible to get to sleep. Inside an airplane, not only are we sitting upright, but light and noise are unpredictable and largely outside our control. ___36___ The air on planes is dry, which can contribute to dehydration (脱水), and long-distance flight schedules often don’t line up with our normal sleep window.
How to actually sleep on a plane? Unfortunately, there is no single miracle trick to ensure you get a few hours of sleep on a plane. But there are some practical strategies to improve your chance of getting some sleep on a plane.
___37___ You can’t control what others do when the cabin (机舱) lights dim, but you can take control of your personal environment. Pack an eye mask to create darkness, and earplugs or noise-canceling headphones to keep away the noise of engines or the endless chatter of the person around you.
Prepare before you board. ___38___ Before a long flight, avoid heavy meals and caffeine and stay hydrated. Some travelers may benefit from carefully timed melatonin (褪黑素) under medical guidance, or apps that gradually shift sleep schedules toward the destination time zone.
Create a familiar, calming routine. To work with your body clock, adopt home sleep habits in the air. Wear comfortable clothing and swap your screen for a book, podcast, or audiobook as “lights out” approaches. ___39___
Adjust your expectations. ___40___ Even with perfect preparation, be realistic. Control what you can, and accept that some variables — from chatty seatmates to turbulence— will always be out of your control.
A. Don’t seek perfection.
B. Find ways to deal with light and noise.
C. And you can get discouraged and anxious.
D. Good in-flight sleep starts on the ground.
E. Cabin conditions and timing add to the challenge.
F. It implies that this is a safe and proper place for bed.

【36题详解】
根据上文“Nearly every environmental factor is working against us on planes, making it near impossible to get to sleep. Inside an airplane, not only are we sitting upright, but light and noise are unpredictable and largely outside our control.(飞机上几乎所有环境因素都不利于我们入睡,想要睡着几乎是一件难事。在飞机机舱里,我们不仅只能挺直坐着,光线与噪音还不可预测,而且大多不受我们掌控)”以及后文“The air on planes is dry, which can contribute to dehydration (脱水), and long-distance flight schedules often don’t line up with our normal sleep window.(机舱内空气干燥,容易造成脱水,长途航班的时刻表往往也和我们正常的睡眠时间不匹配)”可知,空前列举了飞机上难以入睡的部分环境因素,空后又补充机舱空气干燥、长途航班时间和正常睡眠窗口不匹配的问题,E选项“机舱条件和时间安排增加了(入睡的)难度”可承上启下,符合语境。
【37题详解】
根据后文“You can’t control what others do when the cabin (机舱) lights dim, but you can take control of your personal environment. Pack an eye mask to create darkness, and earplugs or noise-canceling headphones to keep away the noise of engines or the endless chatter of the person around you.(当机舱灯光变暗时,你无法控制他人所作所为,但你可以掌控自己的个人环境。带上眼罩制造黑暗,再戴上耳塞或降噪耳机,就能隔绝发动机的噪音以及身边人的无休止交谈)”可知,空后内容介绍用眼罩、耳塞等物品隔绝光线和噪音的方法,B选项“找到应对光线和噪音的方法”可概括本段主旨,契合下文内容。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Prepare before you board.(登机前做好准备)”以及后文“Before a long flight, avoid heavy meals and caffeine and stay hydrated. Some travelers may benefit from carefully timed melatonin (褪黑素) under medical guidance, or apps that gradually shift sleep schedules toward the destination time zone.(长途飞行前,不要吃得过饱,远离咖啡因,并且补充充足水分。一些旅客可以在医生指导下按时服用褪黑素,或是借助一些应用程序,逐步把作息调整到目的地时区的时间)”可知,本段主题为登机前做好准备,D选项“良好的机上睡眠从地面(登机前)就开始了”对应“Prepare before you board”的主题,衔接自然。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Create a familiar, calming routine. To work with your body clock, adopt home sleep habits in the air. Wear comfortable clothing and swap your screen for a book, podcast, or audiobook as “lights out” approaches.(建立一套熟悉、能让人平静下来的固定睡前流程。为配合生物钟,在飞机上沿用你在家的睡眠习惯。穿上舒适衣物,临近 “熄灯休息” 时,放下电子屏幕,换成书籍、播客或者有声读物)”可知,空前提到要把家里的睡眠习惯带到飞机上,营造熟悉放松的睡前流程,F选项“这意味着这是一个安全合适的睡眠场所”承接前文营造熟悉睡眠氛围的行为,逻辑通顺。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Adjust your expectations.(调整你的预期)”以及后文“Even with perfect preparation, be realistic. Control what you can, and accept that some variables — from chatty seatmates to turbulence— will always be out of your control.(就算准备得十分周全,也要保持现实心态。把控你能掌控的事情,同时接受:有些变数 —— 比如爱闲聊的邻座或是气流颠簸 —— 永远不在你的掌控范围内)”可知,本段主题为调整预期,空后提到即便准备完美也要保持现实心态,接受不可控因素,A选项“不要追求完美”契合段落核心,呼应“Adjust your expectations”的要求。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When our school announced a competition to design a “Community Memory Exhibit”, my heart raced. Ever since childhood, I had been fascinated by film—staying up late to edit raw videos, weaving stories out of light and shadow. This, I thought, was finally my chance. I pictured a short documentary, created entirely on my own, which would outshine any poster.
I had already mapped out interviews, detailed shot lists, even the closing narration. Yet before I could begin, our history teacher, Mr. Hughes, drew me aside. “Lena,” he said gently, “this year you’ll work with three others to create one piece of work.”
Hearing that, I felt my heart sank. The others? Mateo, a sculptor absorbed in abstract(抽象的) forms; Ivy, who communicated mostly through guitar; and Nora, a photographer who rarely lifted her eyes from her camera. None shared my love for film. My first response was to refuse, but Mr. Hughes only smiled: “Give it a try.”
Our first meeting was nothing short of disastrous. Mateo talked about “catching the essence of forgotten spaces”. Ivy played music that didn’t match anything, while Nora silently showed her photos. I presented my documentary plan, but it was met with near silence. Anger filled me, and I nearly gave up.
Still, something held me back. Perhaps it was the way Nora focused her camera on an abandoned train station, or the way Ivy’s music seemed to mirror the noise of old tracks. A thought struck me: were we, in our own separate languages, attempting to tell the same story? Then Mr. Hughes’ words returned to me: Give it a try. Perhaps this was not about proving myself alone, but about discovering what we could create together.
I stepped back from the door, took my seat, and looked at them. “We’re a team,” I said firmly. “We need to work together. What about finding a way to bring all our talents together?” For a moment, no one spoke, but then they each gave a quiet nod, an unspoken agreement passing among us. Then, we had a heated discussion.
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。
Finally, we decided on Nora’s train station project.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The exhibition day arrived as scheduled.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Finally, we decided on Nora’s train station project. Mateo would create sculptural pieces to show the rough walls of the station. Meanwhile, Nora was in charge of shooting photos to catch its quiet beauty. To match the visual works, Ivy composed gentle music to set the mood. As for me, I would cut short video clips to tie all parts together. Though we argued now and then, we gradually learned to value each other’s strengths. We spent after-school hours adjusting details and smoothing disagreements. Before long, our exhibit took form, mixing sculpture, photos, music and videos into one complete story of community memory.
The exhibition day arrived as scheduled. We stood beside our work, nervous yet hopeful about the public’s feedback. As visitors wandered around, they slowed down, lost in the combination of images, sounds and artworks. Some even came up to us and shared their own warm memories of the old station with sincere smiles. Seeing this, Mr. Hughes smiled and told us our teamwork shone brightest. It suddenly dawned on me that great works are rarely created alone. When diverse talents are united, they can produce something far more amazing than any single creation.
