When Susan Greenstein Prescott was a high school senior, her English teacher, Fred DiMeo, gave her a terrible task: Recite (背诵) a poem in front of the whole class. “I had a mild stutter (口吃). I’d be trying to get a word out that might begin with ‘D’ or a ‘TH’ and the word wouldn’t come out, or I might say ‘the’ three times,” Greenstein Prescott said.
The thought of getting up in front of her classmates and stuttering through the poem was too much to bear. Greenstein Prescott went home and told how frightened she was to her mom, who agreed to write a note asking for her to be excused from doing the task in front of the whole class.
When the day of the recitation came, Greenstein Prescott recited the poem one-on-one to DiMeo. Once she was done, he said something she’d never heard before: that he liked listening to her voice. For the first time, she considered the possibility that public speaking didn’t have to be a source of fright. “I think in his mind it was so minor and he wanted me to understand I have nothing to be afraid of,” she said.
Greenstein Prescott went on to graduate from high school and go to college. She never got to properly thank DiMeo. But sometime after college, she landed a job as a corporate trainer (企业培训师). The new position made her realize how big an influence he had had on her confidence. “I stand up in front of people and I speak. And I do it all the time, and if I do stutter once in a while, big whoop,” she said.
Greenstein Prescott recently found a way to contact her former teacher, and plans on sending him a letter expressing her thanks.
“He truly is an unsung hero because he played a big role in my very successful career and my life,” she said. “I don’t know where I would’ve gone if I felt like I had to keep my voice quiet because I was afraid of embarrassing myself. I’d like to give him my thanks-for that kindness.”
4. How does Greenstein Prescott find reciting a poem in public?
A. Acceptable. B. Encouraging. C. Understandable. D. Challenging.
5. What can be inferred about Fred DiMeo from Paragraph 3?
A. He is a responsible English teacher. B. He is good at inspiring his students.
C. He likes Greenstein Prescott’s voice. D. He treats students as his own children.
6. Why does Greenstein Prescott mention her job as a corporate trainer?
A. To thank for her teacher’s influence on her. B. To present she is a great college graduate.
C. To share her experience of landing a job. D. To show opportunities favor prepared mind.
7. What can be the best title for the text?
A. A Recitation Task B. A Terrible Lesson
C. My Unsung Hero D. My Life Experience

For decades, scholars debated whether Indo-European languages — including English, Russian, Greek and more — spread from the Eurasian steppe or from early farmers in Anatolia, in what is now Türkiye. A new study presents strong genetic evidence linking Indo-European origins to the steppe.
The researchers found that around 6,000 years ago, the Caucasus-Lower Volga (CLV) people began migrating in two directions: One group moved west into what is now Ukraine and mixed with local hunter-gatherers, eventually forming the Yamnaya genome. Another group moved south into Anatolia, likely bringing an early form of Indo-European with them.
“We know that people such as Hittites spoke Anatolian, but these people didn’t have Yamnaya ancestry,” David Reich, a geneticist at Harvard and a senior author of the studies, said. “We hypothesized (假设) some deeper population was the ultimate source of Indo-European languages.”
But not all experts are convinced that genetic data alone can pinpoint the origins of a language.
“Language is transmitted socially, not biologically — there isn’t necessarily a direct link between language and ancestry,” Guus Kroonen, a linguist at Leiden University, tells Andrew Curry from Science.
Still, many researchers believe the findings provide the strongest evidence yet for a steppe origin.
This study marks a major step forward in understanding how Indo-European languages spread across the world, and helps dismantle 19th-and 20th-century racial theories that falsely claimed Indo-European speakers belonged to a pure “Aryan” race.
Instead, the study paints a very different picture: Indo-European speakers came from a region where multiple populations mixed and migrated over time. As linguists and geneticists continue to untangle the origins of Indo-European languages, one thing is clear — the story of language is one of movement, change and cultural exchange, far from the rigid, nationalist narratives of the past.
8. How was the Yamnaya genome generated?
A. CLV people displaced Anatolian farmers. B. Hunter-gatherers migrated to Anatolia.
C. CLV people mixed with local groups. D. Hunter-gatherers adopted Indo-European.
9. Why did the author mention Guus’s words?
A. To stress the study is also questioned. B. To make the study more convincing.
C. To show findings of other studies. D. To challenge findings of previous studies.
10. What does the underlined word “dismantle” in Paragraph 7 mean?
A. Relieve. B. Indicate. C. Disagree. D. Recognize
11. What does the last paragraph suggest?
A. The study is related to immigration. B. Language evolves through communication.
C. Languages can’t develop in remote places. D. Cultural exchange is based on language.
D
Hit the gym, even if it’s for just two days. Limiting workouts to weekends does not mean you will be missing out on the cognitive (认知的) benefits. New research reveals that “weekend warriors” enjoy cognitive benefits comparable to regular gym goers. The term “weekend warrior” describes a pattern of physical activity limited to just one or two tough training periods per week.
Recent findings published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine suggest that weekend warrior workouts can reduce the risk of mild dementia (尖智症), with similar results to regular exercise.
Researchers based their findings on two surveys of more than 10,000 adults from the Mexico City Prospective Study. The study subjects had an average age of 51. The questionnaires examined whether subjects exercised or played sports, as well as the frequency: how many days per week and for how many minutes. Based on their responses, subjects were divided into groups: those who did not exercise, “weekend warriors”, those regularly active three or more times per week, and a combined group of weekend warriors and regular exercisers.
During the second survey, subjects’ cognitive drop was also assessed using the Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE), with a total score of 30. When mild cognitive impairment (损伤) (MCI) was set as an MMSE score of 23 or below, 2,856 cases were found. “Compared with the non-exercisers, weekend warriors were 13% less likely to develop MCI, while the regularly active and those in the combined group were 12% less likely to do so. The results were similar for both men and women,” a researcher stated.
This means that 13% of mild dementia cases might be avoided if all middle-aged adults exercised at least once or twice a week. The researchers suggest their findings are important for public health because the weekend warrior physical activity pattern may be a more convenient option for busy people.
12. How are subjects mainly grouped in the study?
A. By age. B. By health condition.
C. By sport type. D. By exercise frequency.
13. What aspect of the research is mainly talked about in Paragraphs 3 and 4?
A. Its research equipment. B. Its background and theories.
C. The process and the results. D. Specific research patterns.
14. What can we learn from the number “13%” mentioned in the survey?
A. Men experience more memory loss. B. MCI is common among non-exercisers.
C. Weekend exercising also works. D. Dementia is unavoidable with aging.
15. Which statement can be used to describe the research findings?
A. The early bird catches the worm.
B. Quantity matters more than quality in exercise.
C. The more you exercise, the healthier you will be.
D. Hitting the gym is beneficial, whenever you do it.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Teenagers seem to get stuck in a bad mood really easily. Sometimes the bad mood feels like a quicksand, and the harder you try to climb out, the more stuck you get! That was true for me as a teenage boy. Luckily, I had a good friend, Ollie, who helped me find a way out of my fussy (难以取悦的) feelings — doing sports to shift attention away from negative emotions.
One Saturday afternoon when I was 15, I was reading a book and had just come to the most thrilling part of the mystery when my little brother and sister rushed into my room.
“We made paper airplanes!” Indi shouted. “Aren’t they cool?” asked Tex, sending his plane directly into my head.
“Excuse me. I would appreciate a little peace and quiet so I can read,” I said.
“Ooh! I want to read!” said Tex.
Indi climbed onto my bed. “Can you read your book out loud?”
“I don’t want to read out loud,” I huffed (生气地说).
“Are you in a bad mood?” Tex asked anxiously.
Without saying a word, I got up, dragged myself down the hall, and flopped into the living-room chair.
“What’s up, little man?” asked my dad.
“Please leave me alone. I’m in a terrible mood!” I yelled.
Hearing the noise outside, Mum came out from the kitchen, “Honey, we are just worried about you.”
I knew they were trying to help, but every time they showed care, I felt even worse! Seized by embarrassment and bad moods, I slammed the door and rushed out.
Standing under the tree where I often met Ollie, I felt like crying. Just then, Ollie stopped by and held a brand-new football in his hands. Immediately, Ollie sensed my distress.
“Hey, what’s up, buddy?” he asked.
I hesitated for a moment, torn between the desire to be alone and the urge to pour out my heart.
注意:
(1) 续写词数应为120字左右;
(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Seeing the concern in Ollie’s eyes, I decided to share my feeling.

When Susan Greenstein Prescott was a high school senior, her English teacher, Fred DiMeo, gave her a terrible task: Recite (背诵) a poem in front of the whole class. “I had a mild stutter (口吃). I’d be trying to get a word out that might begin with ‘D’ or a ‘TH’ and the word wouldn’t come out, or I might say ‘the’ three times,” Greenstein Prescott said.
The thought of getting up in front of her classmates and stuttering through the poem was too much to bear. Greenstein Prescott went home and told how frightened she was to her mom, who agreed to write a note asking for her to be excused from doing the task in front of the whole class.
When the day of the recitation came, Greenstein Prescott recited the poem one-on-one to DiMeo. Once she was done, he said something she’d never heard before: that he liked listening to her voice. For the first time, she considered the possibility that public speaking didn’t have to be a source of fright. “I think in his mind it was so minor and he wanted me to understand I have nothing to be afraid of,” she said.
Greenstein Prescott went on to graduate from high school and go to college. She never got to properly thank DiMeo. But sometime after college, she landed a job as a corporate trainer (企业培训师). The new position made her realize how big an influence he had had on her confidence. “I stand up in front of people and I speak. And I do it all the time, and if I do stutter once in a while, big whoop,” she said.
Greenstein Prescott recently found a way to contact her former teacher, and plans on sending him a letter expressing her thanks.
“He truly is an unsung hero because he played a big role in my very successful career and my life,” she said. “I don’t know where I would’ve gone if I felt like I had to keep my voice quiet because I was afraid of embarrassing myself. I’d like to give him my thanks-for that kindness.”
4. How does Greenstein Prescott find reciting a poem in public?
A. Acceptable. B. Encouraging. C. Understandable. D. Challenging.
5. What can be inferred about Fred DiMeo from Paragraph 3?
A. He is a responsible English teacher. B. He is good at inspiring his students.
C. He likes Greenstein Prescott’s voice. D. He treats students as his own children.
6. Why does Greenstein Prescott mention her job as a corporate trainer?
A. To thank for her teacher’s influence on her. B. To present she is a great college graduate.
C. To share her experience of landing a job. D. To show opportunities favor prepared mind.
7. What can be the best title for the text?
A. A Recitation Task B. A Terrible Lesson
C. My Unsung Hero D. My Life Experience
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文,文章讲述了有轻微口吃的Susan Greenstein Prescott害怕当着全班同学的面背诗。是老师的鼓励让她战胜了恐惧,让她敢于在公众面前与人交谈。后来她被一所著名的大学录取。毕业后,她被聘为演讲培训师。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“I had a mild stutter(我有轻微的口吃)”和第二段第一句“The thought of getting up in front of her classmates and stuttering through the poem was too much to bear.(一想到要站在同学面前结结巴巴地念完这首诗,她就难以忍受)”可知,Greenstein Prescott有轻微口吃的毛病,她对于站在班上同学面前背诵诗词的想法难以忍受,因此这一背诵任务对她而言是一大挑战。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段内容“Once she was done, he said something she’d never heard before: that he liked listening to her voice. For the first time, she considered the possibility that public speaking didn’t have to be a source of fright. ‘I think in his mind it was so minor and he wanted me to understand I have nothing to be afraid of,’ she said.(她说完后,他说了一些她以前从未听过的话:他喜欢听她的声音。她第一次考虑到公开演讲不一定会成为恐惧的来源。她说:‘我想,在他看来,这件事太微不足道了,他想让我明白,我没什么好害怕的。’)”可知,在Greenstein Prescott背诵完了诗词后,她的老师DiMeo说他喜欢听她的声音,Greenstein Prescott第一次觉得在公开场合说话并非恐惧之源,她认为她的老师是通过在公众场合背诗词的事让她明白在学习和生活中没有什么是可畏惧的。因此,她的老师是擅长于激励学生。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Greenstein Prescott went on to graduate from high school and go to college. She never got to properly thank DiMeo. But sometime after college, she landed a job as a corporate trainer (企业培训师). The new position made her realize how big an influence he had had on her confidence.(Greenstein Prescott高中毕业后上了大学。她从没好好感谢过DiMeo。但大学毕业后不久,她找到了一份企业培训师的工作。新的职位使她意识到他对她的信心有多大的影响)”可知,Greenstein Prescott在高中毕业至大学期间,都没有恰当的机会好好感谢她的老师,直至她大学毕业找到了企业培训师的工作,这一新职位让她意识到高中时期DiMeo老师对她信心建立的深刻影响。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。文章介绍了一位老师在一个学生成长中的影响。根据最后一段学生对老师的评价“He truly is an unsung hero because he played a big role in my very successful career and my life(他真的是一位无名英雄,因为他在我非常成功的事业和生活中发挥了重要作用)”可知,Greenstein Prescott想通过她的成长经历来表达她对一位无名老师的感激之情。故选C。
C
For decades, scholars debated whether Indo-European languages — including English, Russian, Greek and more — spread from the Eurasian steppe or from early farmers in Anatolia, in what is now Türkiye. A new study presents strong genetic evidence linking Indo-European origins to the steppe.
The researchers found that around 6,000 years ago, the Caucasus-Lower Volga (CLV) people began migrating in two directions: One group moved west into what is now Ukraine and mixed with local hunter-gatherers, eventually forming the Yamnaya genome. Another group moved south into Anatolia, likely bringing an early form of Indo-European with them.
“We know that people such as Hittites spoke Anatolian, but these people didn’t have Yamnaya ancestry,” David Reich, a geneticist at Harvard and a senior author of the studies, said. “We hypothesized (假设) some deeper population was the ultimate source of Indo-European languages.”
But not all experts are convinced that genetic data alone can pinpoint the origins of a language.
“Language is transmitted socially, not biologically — there isn’t necessarily a direct link between language and ancestry,” Guus Kroonen, a linguist at Leiden University, tells Andrew Curry from Science.
Still, many researchers believe the findings provide the strongest evidence yet for a steppe origin.
This study marks a major step forward in understanding how Indo-European languages spread across the world, and helps dismantle 19th-and 20th-century racial theories that falsely claimed Indo-European speakers belonged to a pure “Aryan” race.
Instead, the study paints a very different picture: Indo-European speakers came from a region where multiple populations mixed and migrated over time. As linguists and geneticists continue to untangle the origins of Indo-European languages, one thing is clear — the story of language is one of movement, change and cultural exchange, far from the rigid, nationalist narratives of the past.
8. How was the Yamnaya genome generated?
A. CLV people displaced Anatolian farmers. B. Hunter-gatherers migrated to Anatolia.
C. CLV people mixed with local groups. D. Hunter-gatherers adopted Indo-European.
9. Why did the author mention Guus’s words?
A. To stress the study is also questioned. B. To make the study more convincing.
C. To show findings of other studies. D. To challenge findings of previous studies.
10. What does the underlined word “dismantle” in Paragraph 7 mean?
A. Relieve. B. Indicate. C. Disagree. D. Recognize
11. What does the last paragraph suggest?
A. The study is related to immigration. B. Language evolves through communication.
C. Languages can’t develop in remote places. D. Cultural exchange is based on language.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍一项基因研究支持印欧语言起源于欧亚草原,同时该结论也受到部分学者的质疑。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The researchers found that around 6,000 years ago, the Caucasus-Lower Volga (CLV) people began migrating in two directions: One group moved west into what is now Ukraine and mixed with local hunter gatherers, eventually forming the Yamnaya genome.(研究人员发现,大约六千年前,高加索-下伏尔加人群向两个方向迁徙:一支向西进入如今的乌克兰,与当地狩猎采集者融合,最终形成亚姆纳亚基因组。)”可知,亚姆纳亚基因组由高加索-下伏尔加人群和当地族群融合形成。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“But not all experts are convinced that genetic data alone can pinpoint the origins of a language.(但并非所有专家都相信仅凭基因数据就能精准确定一门语言的起源。)”以及第五段中的“Language is transmitted socially, not biologically — there isn’t necessarily a direct link between language and ancestry.(语言是通过社会方式传播,而非生物方式,语言和血统之间未必存在直接联系。)”可知,作者引用Guus的话,是为说明这项研究也存在质疑之声。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第七段中的“This study marks a major step forward in understanding how Indo-European languages spread across the world, and helps dismantle 19th-and 20th-century racial theories that falsely claimed Indo-European speakers belonged to a pure “Aryan” race.(这项研究在理解印欧语言全球传播方面迈出重要一步,有助于dismantle十九、二十世纪错误宣称印欧语使用者属于纯粹雅利安种族的种族理论。)”可知,该种族理论是错误的,这项研究能够对其进行驳斥否定,因此,画线单词“dismantle”表达“推翻、不认同”的含义,disagree符合语境。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第八段中的“As linguists and geneticists continue to untangle the origins of Indo-European languages, one thing is clear — the story of language is one of movement, change and cultural exchange, far from the rigid, nationalist narratives of the past.(随着语言学家和遗传学家继续梳理印欧语言起源,有一点很明确:语言的发展伴随着迁徙、变化与文化交流,和过去僵化的民族主义叙述截然不同。)”可知,语言在交流中不断演变发展。
D
Hit the gym, even if it’s for just two days. Limiting workouts to weekends does not mean you will be missing out on the cognitive (认知的) benefits. New research reveals that “weekend warriors” enjoy cognitive benefits comparable to regular gym goers. The term “weekend warrior” describes a pattern of physical activity limited to just one or two tough training periods per week.
Recent findings published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine suggest that weekend warrior workouts can reduce the risk of mild dementia (尖智症), with similar results to regular exercise.
Researchers based their findings on two surveys of more than 10,000 adults from the Mexico City Prospective Study. The study subjects had an average age of 51. The questionnaires examined whether subjects exercised or played sports, as well as the frequency: how many days per week and for how many minutes. Based on their responses, subjects were divided into groups: those who did not exercise, “weekend warriors”, those regularly active three or more times per week, and a combined group of weekend warriors and regular exercisers.
During the second survey, subjects’ cognitive drop was also assessed using the Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE), with a total score of 30. When mild cognitive impairment (损伤) (MCI) was set as an MMSE score of 23 or below, 2,856 cases were found. “Compared with the non-exercisers, weekend warriors were 13% less likely to develop MCI, while the regularly active and those in the combined group were 12% less likely to do so. The results were similar for both men and women,” a researcher stated.
This means that 13% of mild dementia cases might be avoided if all middle-aged adults exercised at least once or twice a week. The researchers suggest their findings are important for public health because the weekend warrior physical activity pattern may be a more convenient option for busy people.
12. How are subjects mainly grouped in the study?
A. By age. B. By health condition.
C. By sport type. D. By exercise frequency.
13. What aspect of the research is mainly talked about in Paragraphs 3 and 4?
A. Its research equipment. B. Its background and theories.
C. The process and the results. D. Specific research patterns.
14. What can we learn from the number “13%” mentioned in the survey?
A. Men experience more memory loss. B. MCI is common among non-exercisers.
C. Weekend exercising also works. D. Dementia is unavoidable with aging.
15. Which statement can be used to describe the research findings?
A. The early bird catches the worm.
B. Quantity matters more than quality in exercise.
C. The more you exercise, the healthier you will be.
D. Hitting the gym is beneficial, whenever you do it.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了研究表明,仅周末锻炼的人和规律锻炼者认知获益相近,都能降低轻度认知障碍风险,适合忙碌人群。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The questionnaires examined whether subjects exercised or played sports, as well as the frequency: how many days per week and for how many minutes. Based on their responses, subjects were divided into groups: those who did not exercise, “weekend warriors”, those regularly active three or more times per week, and a combined group of weekend warriors and regular exercisers.( 问卷调查了他们的运动或体育活动情况,包括运动频率:每周多少天以及每次持续多长时间。根据回答结果,受试者被分为四组:不运动者、“周末战士”、每周至少三次规律运动的人,以及“周末战士”与规律锻炼者的混合组。)”可知,研究是按照锻炼频率(每周锻炼天数、时长)将受试者分为不锻炼、周末战士、规律锻炼等组别。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Researchers based their findings on two surveys of more than 10,000 adults from the Mexico City Prospective Study. The study subjects had an average age of 51. The questionnaires examined whether subjects exercised or played sports, as well as the frequency: how many days per week and for how many minutes. Based on their responses, subjects were divided into groups: those who did not exercise, “weekend warriors”, those regularly active three or more times per week, and a combined group of weekend warriors and regular exercisers.( 研究人员基于墨西哥城前瞻性研究中对超过1万名成年人的两项调查得出了这一结论。受试者平均年龄为51岁。问卷调查了他们的运动或体育活动情况,包括运动频率:每周多少天以及每次持续多长时间。根据回答结果,受试者被分为四组:不运动者、“周末战士”、每周至少三次规律运动的人,以及“周末战士”与规律锻炼者的混合组。)”以及第四段“During the second survey, subjects’ cognitive drop was also assessed using the Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE), with a total score of 30.

The results were similar for both men and women,” a researcher stated.( 在第二次调查中,研究人员还使用简易精神状态检查(MMSE)评估了受试者的认知功能下降情况,总分为30分。当MMSE评分达到23分或以下时,即被判定为轻度认知障碍(MCI),共发现2856例病例。“与不运动的人相比,周末锻炼者患MCI的风险降低了13%,而经常活动的人和联合组的人风险则降低了12%。男女结果相似,”一位研究人员认为。)”可知,第三段介绍了研究的样本来源、调查方式、分组标准,属于研究过程;第四段介绍了认知评估的工具、具体数据对比和研究结论,属于研究结果。因此两段共同讲述了研究的过程与结果。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中““Compared with the non-exercisers, weekend warriors were 13% less likely to develop MCI, while the regularly active and those in the combined group were 12% less likely to do so. The results were similar for both men and women,” a researcher stated.(“与不运动的人相比,周末锻炼者患MCI的风险降低了13%,而经常活动的人和联合组的人风险则降低了12%。男女结果相似,”一位研究人员认为。)”以及最后一段中“This means that 13% of mild dementia cases might be avoided if all middle-aged adults exercised at least once or twice a week.( 这意味着,如果所有中年人都每周至少进行一到两次锻炼,可能避免13%的轻度痴呆病例。)”可知,13% 这个数据证明:只在周末锻炼同样能降低认知障碍风险,也就是周末锻炼同样有效。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“This means that 13% of mild dementia cases might be avoided if all middle-aged adults exercised at least once or twice a week. The researchers suggest their findings are important for public health because the weekend warrior physical activity pattern may be a more convenient option for busy people.( 这意味着,如果所有中年人都每周至少进行一到两次锻炼,可能避免13%的轻度痴呆病例。研究人员指出,这一发现对公共卫生具有重要意义,因为周末锻炼者这种运动模式可能更适合忙碌人群。)”可知,全文核心结论是:周末集中锻炼和规律锻炼带来的认知益处相当,无论锻炼时间如何安排,运动都对认知健康有益。D 选项“去健身房锻炼是有益的,无论什么时候做”契合主旨。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国民乐的历史、种类、乐器及传承发展。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:它的起源可以追溯到新石器时代,当时人们在中国开始制造更好的工具。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the Neolithic Age,在从句中作时间状语,所以用关系副词when引导。故填when。
【37题详解】
考查连词。句意:民间音乐是他们生活的重要组成部分,并且它既用于娱乐也用于宗教目的。“Folk music was an important part of their lives”和“it was used for both entertainment and religious purposes”为两个结构完整的分句,存在顺承关系,所以空处应用连词and连接。故填and。
【38题详解】
考查代词。句意:中国民间音乐有许多不同的类型,每一种都有自己独特的历史和传统。空处修饰名词history and tradition,应用形容词性物主代词their。故填their。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:例如,二胡音乐起源于唐朝,至今仍然很受欢迎。空处作谓语,originate from“起源于”为固定短语,此处描述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时,所以空处动词应用过去式。故填originated。
【40题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意:最常见的是管乐器和打击乐器。句子描述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时,主语The most common是复数概念,be动词应用are。故填are。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意:中国民间音乐中的其他乐器包括二胡、琵琶和各种类型的鼓。空处修饰名词types,应用形容词various/varied“各种各样的”,作定语。故填various/varied。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:几个世纪以来,民间音乐一直被用来表达人们的情感和思想,它也被用来娱乐。空处作谓语,根据时间状语For centuries可知,句子应用现在完成时,且主语folk music和动词use之间是被动关系,应用现在完成时的被动语态,主语是单数,助动词用has。故填has been used。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:中国民间音乐是一种重要的音乐形式,绝对值得花时间去了解更多。form“形式”是可数名词,此处表示泛指“一种重要的音乐形式”,且important是以元音音素开头,所以空处应用不定冠词an。故填an。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:中国民间音乐是一种重要的音乐形式,绝对值得花时间去了解更多。be worth doing sth.“值得做某事”,固定用法,所以空处应用动名词形式。故填taking。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:然而,中国也有一股越来越强劲的弘扬中国传统文化的运动,这可能有助于让民间音乐继续传承下去。空处作非谓语动词,movement和动词promote之间是主动关系,可用不定式短语to promote作后置定语,修饰movement,说明这场运动的目的是弘扬传统文化;也可用现在分词promoting作后置定语,修饰movement,体现运动与“弘扬”这一动作的主动关系。故填to promote/promoting。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Teenagers seem to get stuck in a bad mood really easily. Sometimes the bad mood feels like a quicksand, and the harder you try to climb out, the more stuck you get! That was true for me as a teenage boy. Luckily, I had a good friend, Ollie, who helped me find a way out of my fussy (难以取悦的) feelings — doing sports to shift attention away from negative emotions.
One Saturday afternoon when I was 15, I was reading a book and had just come to the most thrilling part of the mystery when my little brother and sister rushed into my room.
“We made paper airplanes!” Indi shouted. “Aren’t they cool?” asked Tex, sending his plane directly into my head.
“Excuse me. I would appreciate a little peace and quiet so I can read,” I said.
“Ooh! I want to read!” said Tex.
Indi climbed onto my bed. “Can you read your book out loud?”
“I don’t want to read out loud,” I huffed (生气地说).
“Are you in a bad mood?” Tex asked anxiously.
Without saying a word, I got up, dragged myself down the hall, and flopped into the living-room chair.
“What’s up, little man?” asked my dad.
“Please leave me alone. I’m in a terrible mood!” I yelled.
Hearing the noise outside, Mum came out from the kitchen, “Honey, we are just worried about you.”
I knew they were trying to help, but every time they showed care, I felt even worse! Seized by embarrassment and bad moods, I slammed the door and rushed out.
Standing under the tree where I often met Ollie, I felt like crying. Just then, Ollie stopped by and held a brand-new football in his hands. Immediately, Ollie sensed my distress.
“Hey, what’s up, buddy?” he asked.
I hesitated for a moment, torn between the desire to be alone and the urge to pour out my heart.
注意:
(1) 续写词数应为120字左右;
(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Seeing the concern in Ollie’s eyes, I decided to share my feeling.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Seeing the concern in Ollie’s eyes, I decided to share my feeling. I told him how annoyed I was by my brother and sister and how upset I felt when my parents tried to comfort me. After listening patiently, Ollie patted me on the shoulder and suggested we kick the football for a while. Without waiting for my reply, he tossed the ball to me. At first, I kicked it weakly, still lost in my bad mood. But soon I focused on running and passing. Sweat rolled down my face as we chased the ball around. Gradually, my anger melted away. When we stopped to rest, I realized sports really took my mind off those negative feelings. I thanked Ollie, glad that I hadn’t stayed trapped in my bad mood.
