Black Americans like Ed Dwight were not given the same opportunities as other Americans. But he didn’t notice. During his early years, his eyes were on the single-engine private planes near his family’s farm and the stars in the night sky, which inspired in him a longing for exploration and opened the door to possibilities.
As soon as he could, Dwight applied to join the Air Force, but there was one challenge. Dwight was a quarter-inch too short to pass the physical examination to become a fighter pilot. His teammates came up with a plan to put cardboard in his socks. Though the plan failed, a commanding officer was so impressed by Dwight’s determination that he passed him to join the USAF flight training program. Dwight didn’t waste the opportunity, pouring himself into demanding training. “I got to work a little earlier and stayed a little later. I was taking other people’s missions, trying to build up flying time.”
In 1961, Dwight’s excellence caught the attention of America’s newly formed space agency, NASA. He was chosen to become an astronaut in training — the first Black pilot to reach such heights. But in a painful turn, he was eventually not selected for the team that was launched into space. It was disheartening. But as his mother taught him, challenges are simply goals not yet achieved, and anything is possible.
That “anything” came true in a full-circle moment in 2023, when Dwight got a very unexpected, life-changing phone call. That call resulted in Ed Dwight boarding a Blue Origin rocket ship on May 19, 2024, to break the bounds (束缚) of Earth’s gravity and become the world’s oldest living astronaut — at 90 years old.
4. What started Ed Dwight’s dream of flying?
A. Farming experience. B. Desire for freedom.
C. Curiosity about the sky. D. Unfair opportunities.
5. Why was Ed Dwight finally accepted by the Air Force?
A. His strong will moved the officer. B. The cardboard plan worked.
C. His teammates recommended him. D. He excelled in the examination.
6. What can be inferred from paragraph 3?
A. Dwight was the first Black pilot. B. Dwight’s mom influenced his mindset.
C. Dwight lost hope after being rejected. D. Dwight’s height prevented his selection.
7. Which of the following can best describe Ed Dwight?
A. Creative and intelligent. B. Hard-working and positive.
C. Energetic and humorous. D. Open-minded and generous.
C
Recently, a growing number of young Chinese prefer a zero-sugar diet, showing a health-focused and wellness-driven approach to life. This “zero sugar” trend (趋势) has now moved from dining tables to social interactions, giving rise to the increasingly popular idea called “zero sugar socializing”.
Zero sugar socializing refers to young people keeping a certain level of distance and independence in their relationships, avoiding relying too much on others for emotional comfort. Just like zero-sugar foods, this style of socializing stresses a non-sticky, non-dependent approach.
According to the Insights Report on Social Trends released by the Just So Soul Research Institute, young people today usually have around two close friends. When asked about their ideal state with friends, 54% of them chose “frequent contact while still having their own space”.
In moments of loneliness, digital characters become new companions and ways of communication for netizens. “The popularity of digital friends and idols comes from their down-to-earth nature, serving as ‘spiritual companions’,” wrote Xiaoqiaoliushui in a comment.
“Choosing zero sugar socializing is an expression of young people’s pursuit (追求) of self-fulfillment,” noted Wang Zhongwu, a sociology professor at Shandong University. With busy study or work, young people now prefer friendships with low social costs, featuring a relaxed and fashionable atmosphere. The rise of this social mode stresses independence in interactions, turning socializing into a burden-free experience.
“Zero sugar socializing isn’t equal to ‘zero socializing’ but rather encourages young people to put independence first in their connections,” said Wang. He believes it fits the trends of social development and meets the practical needs of modern life. However, while enjoying the ease and freedom brought by zero sugar socializing, young individuals should not overlook the pleasures and significance of traditional social interactions.
8. Why does the author mention a zero-sugar diet in the first paragraph?
A. To give an example. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To make comparisons. D. To support an argument.
9. What can be learned about zero-sugar socializing?
A. It is a way to avoid social contact with others.
B. It meets young people’s need for digital friends.
C. It represents a choice for self-dependent relationships.
D. It encourages young people to have more close friends.
10. What might be a reason for the popularity of zero-sugar socializing?
A. It features zero social cost.
B. It focuses on health and wellness.
C. It makes up for young people’s loneliness.
D. It leaves young people freedom and space.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A New Trend of Independent Friendship B. Digital Companions in Modern Social Life
C. The Growing Popularity of Zero-Sugar Diets D. The Decline of Traditional Social Interaction
D
Most adults cannot remember events from early childhood, a phenomenon (现象) known as infantile amnesia. This is true whether you ask a college student or a grandparent, suggesting adults’ lack of infant (婴儿) memories is not just the result of normal forgetting that happens with the passage of time.
There are two possible explanations for this. One is that the hippocampus, a brain area important for memory, is too underdeveloped in infants to store long-term memories. Another is that the infant brain can store memories, but we finally cannot reach them. Recent studies in mice show that the hippocampus not only can store memories early in life but may keep them into adulthood.
But what about humans? A research team conducted fMRI studies with infants who were wide awake — a method not tried before because it is hard to study babies who move a lot and are hard to stay focused. Since memory formation depends on wakeful experiences, through over 400 tries and a lot of help from families, the team developed new ways to keep infants calm and interested.
In one key test, infants were shown photographs of faces, objects and settings one at a time during fMRI scanning. Soon after, their memory was checked by showing each of these known photographs next to a new image of the same kind. When infants looked longer at the earlier seen photograph, researchers labeled (标记) it as remembered; or it was considered forgotten. Results showed greater hippocampal activity when infants saw images they remembered, especially in those over 12 months old. These results suggest that the infant hippocampus can form memories from short experiences.
These findings support that early memories are stored but become hard to reach. Important questions remain: How long do these memories stay? Could earlier memories be found again? Answering these could solve a long-standing scientific problem and help understand language learning, developmental disorders, and memory loss. What’s your earliest memory? Earlier ones may stay hidden in your brain.
12. What do the underlined words in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Memory change with age. B. Lack of infant memories.
C. Normal forgetting over time. D. Unwillingness to remember events.
13. What is the challenge in using fMRI to study infants’ memory?
A. Getting enough family help. B. Applying a brand new technology.
C. Understanding memory formation. D. Keeping the attention of wakeful infants.
14. What did the key test find about infants’ memory?
A. Memory improves greatly after age two.
B. Memories from babyhood can last for years.
C. Infants look longer at what they’ve forgotten.
D. Infants store memories they later fail to get back.
15. Why are the important questions mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To guide further studies. B. To raise public concerns.
C. To doubt research methods. D. To provide possible solutions.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Ever woken up from a nap feeling lost or more tired, as if you’ve forgotten which planet you’re on? ____16____. It is a sign that you might go beyond your napping mark. It can slow you down in the short term and potentially affect your nighttime sleep in the long run. To avoid this and wake up refreshed, follow these principles for taking the perfect nap.
Take regular naps
You don’t want a casual napping schedule where you sleep “sometimes early, sometimes late, sometimes short.” So pick a time, like after lunch or in between your afternoon meetings and stick to it. ____17____. If you’re napping in your car on your lunch break for example, consider bringing a pillow, an eye mask or earplugs to help boost your nap experience.
____18____
From the moment you wake up in the morning, sleep pressure builds in your body to push you to fall asleep again at the end of the day. Napping relieves some of that pressure, so it’s important that you nap early enough in the day for it to build back up by bedtime. If you follow a conventional nighttime sleep schedule, take a nap between noon and 3 p.m. ____19____.
Keep your nap brief
____20____. It might be painful if you’re a fan of a long, leisurely afternoon snooze. However, the truth is that longer naps can lead to sleep inertia (睡眠惯性) more easily because you might enter deeper sleep, making it harder to wake up. If you find yourself falling asleep quickly and dipping into deep sleep with only 30 minutes of napping, that’s a sign you’re not getting enough sleep at night. If this is the case, take steps to raise the quality of your nighttime sleep.
A. Nap early in the day
B. Follow a nap schedule early
C. A good, short nap can offer mental health benefits
D. That sleepy, almost-drunk feeling is called sleep inertia
E. Experts suggest keeping your naps from 10 minutes to an hour tops
F. Use the same sleep environment each time and create a cosy nap space
G. For people who work nights, take a nap at least 6 hours before you sleep

As time passed, I realized that I was ____26____ to the Internet. It came to a point where I chose to lock myself in my room, ____27____ to come out and take part in family discussions. Soon, my sleep was ____28____ to only scattered (分散的) naps, and my grades at school also began getting worse.
My parents started voicing their ____29____. It became obvious to them that I was spending too much time on the Internet. I was asked to reduce my usage of the Internet. _____30_____, however hard I tried, I was unable to pull myself away, unable to_____31_____my chat sessions and unable to concentrate on my lessons. I was _____32_____for just another click and another look at my message board.

Black Americans like Ed Dwight were not given the same opportunities as other Americans. But he didn’t notice. During his early years, his eyes were on the single-engine private planes near his family’s farm and the stars in the night sky, which inspired in him a longing for exploration and opened the door to possibilities.
As soon as he could, Dwight applied to join the Air Force, but there was one challenge. Dwight was a quarter-inch too short to pass the physical examination to become a fighter pilot. His teammates came up with a plan to put cardboard in his socks. Though the plan failed, a commanding officer was so impressed by Dwight’s determination that he passed him to join the USAF flight training program. Dwight didn’t waste the opportunity, pouring himself into demanding training. “I got to work a little earlier and stayed a little later. I was taking other people’s missions, trying to build up flying time.”
In 1961, Dwight’s excellence caught the attention of America’s newly formed space agency, NASA. He was chosen to become an astronaut in training — the first Black pilot to reach such heights. But in a painful turn, he was eventually not selected for the team that was launched into space. It was disheartening. But as his mother taught him, challenges are simply goals not yet achieved, and anything is possible.
That “anything” came true in a full-circle moment in 2023, when Dwight got a very unexpected, life-changing phone call. That call resulted in Ed Dwight boarding a Blue Origin rocket ship on May 19, 2024, to break the bounds (束缚) of Earth’s gravity and become the world’s oldest living astronaut — at 90 years old.
4. What started Ed Dwight’s dream of flying?
A. Farming experience. B. Desire for freedom.
C. Curiosity about the sky. D. Unfair opportunities.
5. Why was Ed Dwight finally accepted by the Air Force?
A. His strong will moved the officer. B. The cardboard plan worked.
C. His teammates recommended him. D. He excelled in the examination.
6. What can be inferred from paragraph 3?
A. Dwight was the first Black pilot. B. Dwight’s mom influenced his mindset.
C. Dwight lost hope after being rejected. D. Dwight’s height prevented his selection.
7. Which of the following can best describe Ed Dwight?
A. Creative and intelligent. B. Hard-working and positive.
C. Energetic and humorous. D. Open-minded and generous.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. B

Recently, a growing number of young Chinese prefer a zero-sugar diet, showing a health-focused and wellness-driven approach to life. This “zero sugar” trend (趋势) has now moved from dining tables to social interactions, giving rise to the increasingly popular idea called “zero sugar socializing”.
Zero sugar socializing refers to young people keeping a certain level of distance and independence in their relationships, avoiding relying too much on others for emotional comfort. Just like zero-sugar foods, this style of socializing stresses a non-sticky, non-dependent approach.
According to the Insights Report on Social Trends released by the Just So Soul Research Institute, young people today usually have around two close friends. When asked about their ideal state with friends, 54% of them chose “frequent contact while still having their own space”.
In moments of loneliness, digital characters become new companions and ways of communication for netizens. “The popularity of digital friends and idols comes from their down-to-earth nature, serving as ‘spiritual companions’,” wrote Xiaoqiaoliushui in a comment.
“Choosing zero sugar socializing is an expression of young people’s pursuit (追求) of self-fulfillment,” noted Wang Zhongwu, a sociology professor at Shandong University. With busy study or work, young people now prefer friendships with low social costs, featuring a relaxed and fashionable atmosphere. The rise of this social mode stresses independence in interactions, turning socializing into a burden-free experience.
“Zero sugar socializing isn’t equal to ‘zero socializing’ but rather encourages young people to put independence first in their connections,” said Wang. He believes it fits the trends of social development and meets the practical needs of modern life. However, while enjoying the ease and freedom brought by zero sugar socializing, young individuals should not overlook the pleasures and significance of traditional social interactions.
8. Why does the author mention a zero-sugar diet in the first paragraph?
A. To give an example. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To make comparisons. D. To support an argument.
9. What can be learned about zero-sugar socializing?
A. It is a way to avoid social contact with others.
B. It meets young people’s need for digital friends.
C. It represents a choice for self-dependent relationships.
D. It encourages young people to have more close friends.
10. What might be a reason for the popularity of zero-sugar socializing?
A. It features zero social cost.
B. It focuses on health and wellness.
C. It makes up for young people’s loneliness.
D. It leaves young people freedom and space.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A New Trend of Independent Friendship B. Digital Companions in Modern Social Life
C. The Growing Popularity of Zero-Sugar Diets D. The Decline of Traditional Social Interaction
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】

【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据原文第二段“Zero sugar socializing refers to young people keeping a certain level of distance and independence in their relationships, avoiding relying too much on others for emotional comfort.(“零糖社交”指的是年轻人在人际关系中保持一定的距离和独立性,避免过度依赖他人来寻求情感慰藉。)”及全文内容可知,文章围绕注重独立性的新型交友潮流“零糖社交”展开,解释它的内涵、流行原因,同时指出它不等于零社交,年轻人也要重视传统社交的价值。A选项“一种崇尚独立友谊的新风尚”适合作为文章标题。

Most adults cannot remember events from early childhood, a phenomenon (现象) known as infantile amnesia. This is true whether you ask a college student or a grandparent, suggesting adults’ lack of infant (婴儿) memories is not just the result of normal forgetting that happens with the passage of time.
There are two possible explanations for this. One is that the hippocampus, a brain area important for memory, is too underdeveloped in infants to store long-term memories. Another is that the infant brain can store memories, but we finally cannot reach them. Recent studies in mice show that the hippocampus not only can store memories early in life but may keep them into adulthood.
But what about humans? A research team conducted fMRI studies with infants who were wide awake — a method not tried before because it is hard to study babies who move a lot and are hard to stay focused. Since memory formation depends on wakeful experiences, through over 400 tries and a lot of help from families, the team developed new ways to keep infants calm and interested.
In one key test, infants were shown photographs of faces, objects and settings one at a time during fMRI scanning. Soon after, their memory was checked by showing each of these known photographs next to a new image of the same kind. When infants looked longer at the earlier seen photograph, researchers labeled (标记) it as remembered; or it was considered forgotten. Results showed greater hippocampal activity when infants saw images they remembered, especially in those over 12 months old. These results suggest that the infant hippocampus can form memories from short experiences.
These findings support that early memories are stored but become hard to reach. Important questions remain: How long do these memories stay? Could earlier memories be found again? Answering these could solve a long-standing scientific problem and help understand language learning, developmental disorders, and memory loss. What’s your earliest memory? Earlier ones may stay hidden in your brain.
12. What do the underlined words in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Memory change with age. B. Lack of infant memories.
C. Normal forgetting over time. D. Unwillingness to remember events.
13. What is the challenge in using fMRI to study infants’ memory?
A. Getting enough family help. B. Applying a brand new technology.
C. Understanding memory formation. D. Keeping the attention of wakeful infants.
14. What did the key test find about infants’ memory?
A. Memory improves greatly after age two.
B. Memories from babyhood can last for years.
C. Infants look longer at what they’ve forgotten.
D. Infants store memories they later fail to get back.
15. Why are the important questions mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To guide further studies. B. To raise public concerns.
C. To doubt research methods. D. To provide possible solutions.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了婴儿期遗忘症现象,并通过实验探究人类婴儿海马体的记忆储存能力及相关研究发现。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Most adults cannot remember events from early childhood, a phenomenon known as infantile amnesia. This is true whether you ask a college student or a grandparent, suggesting adults’ lack of infant memories is not just the result of normal forgetting that happens with the passage of time.(大多数成年人记不起童年早期的事情,这种现象被称为infantile amnesia。无论你问大学生还是祖父母,情况都是如此,这表明成年人对婴儿时期记忆的缺失并非仅仅是随着时间推移而产生的正常遗忘的结果)”可知,划线词组infantile amnesia指的是“成年人记不起婴儿时期的事情”,即成年人对婴儿时期记忆的缺失。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“A research team conducted fMRI studies with infants who were wide awake — a method not tried before because it is hard to study babies who move a lot and are hard to stay focused.(一个研究小组对完全清醒的婴儿进行了功能磁共振成像研究——这种方法以前从未尝试过,因为研究好动且难以集中注意力的婴儿并不容易)”可知,使用功能磁共振成像研究婴儿记忆的难点在于让清醒的婴儿保持注意力。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Results showed greater hippocampal activity when infants saw images they remembered, especially in those over 12 months old. These results suggest that the infant hippocampus can form memories from short experiences.(结果显示,当婴儿看到自己记得的图像时,海马体的活动会更活跃,尤其是12个月以上的婴儿。这些结果表明,婴儿的海马体能够从短暂的经历中形成记忆)”以及第五段中的“These findings support that early memories are stored but become hard to reach.(这些发现证实,早期的记忆被储存了起来,但却难以被提取)”可知,这项关键测试发现婴儿会储存下那些后来无法提取的记忆。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Important questions remain: How long do these memories stay? Could earlier memories be found again? Answering these could solve a long-standing scientific problem and help understand language learning, developmental disorders, and memory loss.(仍有一些重要的问题有待解答:这些记忆能留存多久?早期的记忆能否被重新找回?解答这些问题可以解决一个长期存在的科学难题,并有助于理解语言学习、发育障碍和记忆丧失等问题)”可推知,作者在最后一段提出这些重要问题,是为了为后续的相关研究指明方向,引导进一步的探索。故选A项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Ever woken up from a nap feeling lost or more tired, as if you’ve forgotten which planet you’re on? ____16____. It is a sign that you might go beyond your napping mark. It can slow you down in the short term and potentially affect your nighttime sleep in the long run. To avoid this and wake up refreshed, follow these principles for taking the perfect nap.
Take regular naps
You don’t want a casual napping schedule where you sleep “sometimes early, sometimes late, sometimes short.” So pick a time, like after lunch or in between your afternoon meetings and stick to it. ____17____. If you’re napping in your car on your lunch break for example, consider bringing a pillow, an eye mask or earplugs to help boost your nap experience.
____18____
From the moment you wake up in the morning, sleep pressure builds in your body to push you to fall asleep again at the end of the day. Napping relieves some of that pressure, so it’s important that you nap early enough in the day for it to build back up by bedtime. If you follow a conventional nighttime sleep schedule, take a nap between noon and 3 p.m. ____19____.
Keep your nap brief
____20____. It might be painful if you’re a fan of a long, leisurely afternoon snooze. However, the truth is that longer naps can lead to sleep inertia (睡眠惯性) more easily because you might enter deeper sleep, making it harder to wake up. If you find yourself falling asleep quickly and dipping into deep sleep with only 30 minutes of napping, that’s a sign you’re not getting enough sleep at night. If this is the case, take steps to raise the quality of your nighttime sleep.
A. Nap early in the day
B. Follow a nap schedule early
C. A good, short nap can offer mental health benefits
D. That sleepy, almost-drunk feeling is called sleep inertia
E. Experts suggest keeping your naps from 10 minutes to an hour tops
F. Use the same sleep environment each time and create a cosy nap space
G. For people who work nights, take a nap at least 6 hours before you sleep

【18题详解】
下文“From the moment you wake up in the morning, sleep pressure builds in your body to push you to fall asleep again at the end of the day. Napping relieves some of that pressure, so it’s important that you nap early enough in the day for it to build back up by bedtime.(从你早上醒来的那一刻起,你的身体就会产生睡眠压力,迫使你在一天结束时再次入睡。小睡可以缓解一些压力,所以重要的是你要在一天中早点小睡,以便在睡前恢复)”说明白天早点午睡的重要性,空处应概括本段的主题,即白天早点午睡。A选项“白天早点午睡”直接点明主题,符合语境。故选A。
【19题详解】
上文“If you follow a conventional nighttime sleep schedule, take a nap between noon and 3 p.m.(如果你遵循传统的夜间睡眠规律,那么在中午到下午3点之间午睡)”说明了一个午睡的时间范围,空处应进一步说明其他情况,针对不同人群的睡眠习惯进行举例。G选项“对于上夜班的人来说,在睡觉至少六小时前进行午睡。”补充了另一种情况,即上夜班的人的午睡时间,符合语境。故选G。
【20题详解】
下文“It might be painful if you’re a fan of a long, leisurely afternoon snooze. However, the truth is that longer naps can lead to sleep inertia (睡眠惯性) more easily because you might enter deeper sleep, making it harder to wake up.(如果你喜欢长时间的、悠闲的午后小憩,那可能会很痛苦。然而,事实是,午睡时间过长更容易导致睡眠惯性,因为你可能会进入深度睡眠,更难醒来)”说明午睡时间过长的不利影响,空处应概括本段的主题,即午睡时间不宜过长。E选项“专家建议将午睡时间控制在10分钟到最多一小时”点明主题,符合语境。故选E。

【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了海狸筑坝形成的湿地能有效阻挡森林野火,成为天然防火屏障。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:野火长期以来一直是森林生活的一部分,但最近它们已变得危险和破坏性强得多。根据时间状语recently可知,用现在完成时,主语they为复数,助动词用have,谓语用have become。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:席卷美国西部的强热浪给这些鲜少遭遇此类极端天气的地区带来了破纪录的破坏。本句谓语为have swept,此处为非谓语动词,且heatwaves与bring“带来”之间是主动关系,故用现在分词bringing作状语。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:然而,科学家们在这场对抗灾害的斗争中发现了一位意想不到的英雄:海狸。hero是可数名词,此处表示泛指“一位意想不到的英雄”,且unexpected以元音音素开头,故用不定冠词an。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:传统上,许多人视海狸为麻烦制造者,因为它们的水坝会导致洪水。view... as...为固定搭配,意为“把……看作……”。
【40题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:当邻近的森林被摧毁时,海狸生活的区域依然绿意盎然。此处描述过去发生的动作,且主语forests与destroy“摧毁”之间是被动关系,用一般过去时的被动语态,谓语用were destroyed。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这些“自然工程师”修筑水坝,减缓水流速度,并形成广阔的湿润草地。此处引导限制性定语从句,先行词为dams(物),关系词在从句中作主语,故用关系代词that或which引导。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:为了保护当地社区,一些组织正致力于将海狸迁移到易发生火灾的区域。本空作目的状语,用不定式to move。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:这种基于自然的解决方案不仅比许多人造屏障更便宜,而且更有效。本空作主语,用solve的名词形式solution,根据is可知,用单数形式。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:幸运的是,海狸的数量正在缓慢恢复。本空修饰整个句子,作状语,应用fortunate的副词形式fortunately“幸运的是”符合语境,位于句首,首字母大写。
【45题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:专家认为,通过尊重这些微小的工程师及其工作,我们可以针对日益严重的自然灾害威胁建立起更好的防御体系。根据语境及上文的cheaper、more effective可知,此处暗含比较含义,故用good的比较级better,作定语。

46. The burned car was beyond ________ (recognize). (所给词的适当形式填空)

47. The man wore a ________ (confuse) expression when he couldn’t find the answer. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】confused
【解析】

【答案】recommendation
【解析】
【详解】句意:我的老师为我写了一封推荐信,用来申请这个交换项目。冠词a后填可数名词单数形式,作谓语动词wrote的宾语,此空填recommend的名词形式recommendation,意为“推荐信”。
50. He gave an ________ (impress) performance at the music square. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】impressive
【解析】
【详解】句意:他在音乐广场带来了一场令人印象深刻的演出。修饰名词performance需要用形容词,impress对应的形容词是impressive,表示“令人印象深刻的”。
51. In the wild, finding clean water is a matter of ________ (survive). (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】survival
【解析】
【详解】句意:在野外,找到干净的水是生存问题。作介词of的宾语,应用名词survival,不可数。

【答案】fixed
【解析】
【详解】句意:她走上舞台,所有人的目光都聚焦在她身上,她的心怦怦直跳,脑海里飞速闪过每一句她排练过的台词。此处为“with + 宾语(all eyes) + 宾语补足语”复合结构,用于补充说明伴随状态。此处宾语all eyes和fix之间是逻辑上的被动关系,需要使用fix的过去分词形式fixed作宾语补足语。
53. Peru is a country on the Pacific coast of South America with three main areas: narrow, dry, flat land ________ (run) along the coast, the Andes Mountains, and the Amazon rainforest. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】running
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:秘鲁是南美洲太平洋沿岸的一个国家,有三个主要地区:沿着海岸的狭窄、干燥、平坦的土地、安第斯山脉和亚马逊雨林。此处修饰land,run与land之间为主动关系,应用现在分词,作定语。故填running。
54. Lake Titicaca Tour — Enjoy the beautiful countryside as you spend a day driving along the new highway ________ (connect) Cusco to Lake Titicaca. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】connecting

57. My adviser recommended that I ________________ (报名) advanced literature because I like English and I’m good at it. (根据汉语提示完成句子)
【答案】should sign up for##sign up for
【解析】
【详解】句意:我的指导老师建议我报名高级文学课程,因为我喜欢英语,而且我很擅长它。recommended表示“建议”,接that引导的宾语从句时从句要用虚拟语气,谓语用should+动词原形,should可以省略;所填内容表示“报名”,在该从句作谓语,要填(should) sign up for。
58. I’m a bit worried about ____________________ (跟上) the other students in my advanced course, and it’ll be quite difficult to get used to all the homework. (根据汉语提示完成句子)
【答案】keeping up with##catching up with

【详解】句意:所以,来感受秘鲁所能带给你的一切:从古印加文化、有着数百年历史的西班牙村落,到幽深雨林、高山与秀美的海岸线。分析句子可知,experience是及物动词,后面接宾语从句。从句Peru has to offer中,offer 缺少宾语,表示“……的事物/东西”,用连接代词what引导。
60. Was it in the ancient town where we had spent our childhood________ the famous writer was born? (用适当的词填空)
【答案】that
【解析】
【详解】句意:这位著名作家正是在那个我们度过童年的古镇出生的吗?分析句子可知,该句为强调句型的一般疑问句结构,核心结构为:Was it + 被强调部分 + that + 句子剩余部分?被强调的是地点状语in the ancient town where we had spent our childhood。其中where we had spent our childhood是定语从句,修饰先行词the ancient town(where在从句中作地点状语),属于干扰信息,不要和强调句的连接词混淆。
61. The photo brought the moment back to me ________ I first met my best friend. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】when
【解析】
【详解】句意:这张照片让我回想起我第一次遇见我最好朋友的那一刻。此处引导限制性定语从句,先行词是the moment,定语从句中不缺主语和宾语,缺少时间状语,用关系副词when引导。

【答案】who
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:纪念被誉为“亚洲莎士比亚”的汤显祖的中国文化元素,为埃文河畔的斯特拉特福德增添了国际特色。空处引导非限制性定语从句,对先行词Tang Xianzu作补充说明,先行词指人,在从句中作主语,应用关系代词who作引导词。故填who。

64. We move on to tai chi positions, of ________ there are forty-two in the style that Angela teaches. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】which
【解析】
【详解】句意:我们继续学习太极拳招式,安吉拉教授的这套拳法共有四十二式。逗号后为非限制性定语从句,先行词tai chi positions,指物,关系词在of后作宾语,用which。
65. Of course, shops are not charities — they price goods in the way ________ will make them the most money. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】that##which
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:当然,商店不是慈善机构——他们以最赚钱的方式给商品定价。在定语从句中缺少主语,且先行词为way,所以应用关系代词that或which。故填that或者which。
