Chenoa Tremblay is a radio astronomer who uses radio telescopes (望远镜) and a specific analytical technique to study molecules (分子) in the gas layers (层) around stars. By analyzing these molecules’ unique frequency signals, she identifies signs related to life — such as water — that are potential signs of life beyond Earth. Additionally, she uses computers and advanced mathematics to turn these signals into images, enabling the study of the universe in ways that human eyes can’t.
Tremblay grew up in a small town in New Hampshire. There wasn’t a lot of expectation of girls doing much outside of home. But she was a naturally very curious child. Throughout high school, learning was hard for her most of the time. But math was always fairly easy, and she enjoyed chemistry.
Tremblay decided to study business and accounting in college. It seemed logical, but she really wasn’t sure what she’d do with it. Her roommate was studying chemistry, and she found herself helping her with her homework. Her friends finally convinced her to study chemistry instead.
Tremblay started volunteering for university projects to learn from teachers. That helped her figure out how to become a radio astronomer. In 2016, she got into a doctoral program for physics and astronomy in Australia. During her program, Tremblay and her team were using a brand-new radio telescope in Western Australia. In high school and her first years in college, she really struggled with physics. So it’s really funny that she ended up with a Ph.D. in the subject. At some point in the learning process, things just started to click.
“The career you decide on now doesn’t have to be what you do later. You can change your mind and switch paths.” Tremblay said in a speech for young students. “You can explore what you find interesting about the world.”
4. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Tremblay is good at designing telescopes.
B. Tremblay finds it possible to live beyond earth.
C. Tremblay’s work is about the study of the universe.
D. Tremblay’s study has gained widespread recognition.
5. What directly led Tremblay to change her university major?
A. The appeal of chemistry. B. The push from her friends.
C. The advice from her parents. D. The doubt about her future job.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. A new radio telescope. B. Tremblay and her team.
C. University volunteer work. D. Tremblay’s Ph.D. journey.
7. What can we learn from Tremblay’s experience?
A. Nothing is impossible. B. Creativity is important.
C. Practical experience helps. D. Career paths can be adjusted.
If you’ve spent any time in the gardening corners of social media lately, you’ve likely come across a trend called “chaos (混乱) gardening.” The name alone is eye-catching — equal parts fun, rebellious (叛逆的) and slightly alarming. Picture someone throwing seeds into bare soil aimlessly, watering once or twice, and ending up with a backyard full of bright flowers everywhere. No rows, no color coordination (搭配), no spacing charts — just spread the seeds and hope for the best.
As a landscape specialist at Colorado State University Extension, I think a lot about how to help people make designed landscapes more environmentally friendly.
But what is chaos gardening, really? Chaos gardening is the practice of mixing a wide variety of seeds and scattering (撒) them over a planting area with minimal planning. For many, it’s a low-pressure, joyful way to experiment.
One reason chaos gardening may be catching on is that it sidesteps the rules of garden design. A traditional landscape design approach is effective and appropriate for many settings, but it is time-consuming and can feel stressful. Even that easy, messy look of a cottage garden still needs lots of planning. Chaos gardening, by contrast, lets go of control.
There’s also the allure of ease. People want gardening to be simple. If chaos gardening brings more people into the joy and mess of growing things, I consider that a win in itself. Broader research has found that emotional connection and accessibility are major motivators for gardening, often more than environmental impact.
Chaos gardening might not replace the structured borders of a well-cut garden, but it might get newcomers into the garden. It might make things feel less risky, encourage experimentation, and help people see beauty in richness rather than in control. If that’s the entry point someone needs, then let the chaos begin.
8. What is the primary characteristic of chaos gardening?
A. Sticking to ecological restoration principles.
B. Sowing diverse seeds with little prior planning.
C. Planning carefully and coordinating plant colors.
D. Focusing on a single type of plant for maximum harvest.
9. Why is chaos gardening becoming popular?
A. It requires a lot of time and effort.
B. It follows the traditional garden design.
C. It has a positive impact on the environment.
D. It avoids the rules of garden design and is easy to do.
10. What does the underlined word “allure” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Improvement. B. Possibility. C. Attraction. D. Tradition.
11. What does the author imply about chaos gardening?
A. It serves as a gateway.
B. It challenges experts.
C. It might replace formal gardens.
D. It ensures perfect results.
D
A doctor in Florida successfully operated on a patient 7,000 miles away in Africa, using a remote-controlled robot to perform the surgery.
Fernando Da Silva, who lives in Angola, needed surgery to treat cancer. In a robotic surgical procedure, the surgeon does not touch the patient. Instead, the doctor moves their hands to control smaller robotic hands that hold surgical instruments. When the doctor moves their hands around, the robotic hands move in the same way.
Da Silva’s procedure, called “transcontinental robotic telesurgery”, was performed by Dr. Vipul Patel from Florida. He sat at a robotic console (控制台) equipped with a 3D screen and highly responsive hand controls. His movements were transmitted through fiber-optic (光纤) cables that run under the ocean to robotic arms in the operating room in Angola.
Fiber-optic technology transmits data faster and farther than other communication methods. Patel has performed nearly 20,000 robotic surgeries. He said that despite the distance, there was no noticeable delay between his movements and the response of the robotic arms. The entire process took about one hour and 20 minutes.
Although Patel was in the US, his medical team was in the operating room in Angola with Da Silva. “I always have my team where the patient is,” Patel said. “So, in case something happened with the telecommunications, the team would just take over and finish the operation.”
The team did not need to intervene, however, as Da Silva’s surgery was a success. The procedure was part of a clinical trial approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the government agency that promotes and protects public health. Patel said he plans to perform more surgeries like this one and present the results to the FDA for review.
Patel said he believes robotic technology will allow doctors to perform surgery around the world and help people in rural or less wealthy areas, where access to medical care is limited. He hopes it can also be used to help people who are experiencing medical emergencies, like heart attacks and strokes.
12. What can be inferred about the role of fiber-optic technology in the surgery?
A. It ensures real-time communication.
B. It reduces the cost of the operation.
C. It replaces the need for a medical team.
D. It spares the trouble of training a surgeon.
13. Why did Dr. Patel have a medical team present in the operating room in Angola?
A. To assist with the robotic equipment setup.
B. To ensure the complete success of the operation.
C. To train local doctors in robotic techniques.
D. To meet the regulations of FDA for a surgery.
14. What is Dr. Patel’s attitude toward the future of robotic telesurgery?
A. Doubtful about its practicality. B. Concerned about its high cost.
C. Optimistic about its potential benefits. D. Critical of its technological limitations.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The Challenges of Remote Surgery
B. The History of Robotic Surgical Procedures
C. How Fiber-Optic Technology Changed Medicine
D. A Breakthrough in Long-Distance Robotic Surgery

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。
In cities across the globe, up to a quarter of office buildings are unoccupied, along with other urban properties, from storage to abandoned skyscrapers. To put this space to use, many cities are transforming empty buildings for other uses. ____16____
Just as the name suggests, vertical (垂直的) farming is the practice of growing crops in layers as opposed to traditional horizontal rows. These layers are often placed in spaces unfit for farming, but now we can grow crops there due to advanced agricultural methods. ____17____ However, thanks to technology, artificial light, and controlled temperatures and humidity, office spaces have proved to be great environments for farming.
____18____ It dates back to over 2,000 years ago with the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Modern vertical farming simply began as an experiment in 1999, focused on growing food on the rooftops of Manhattan. Their work eventually transformed into using high-rise buildings as vertical farms to feed thousands of people in a sustainable manner. Vertical farming is now a $6 billion industry.
The main benefit of vertical farming is that it maximizes the yield of crops by efficiently using space. ____19____ It is made possible by their controlled environments and soilless agriculture methods like hydroponics (水培法). Hydroponics allows plants to grow in a water-based solution rather than soil, saving water. In fact, hydroponic systems only require 10% of the water of a traditional field.
Despite being untraditional, vertical farms produce over 50 types of plants, ranging from leafy greens and herbs to experimental fruits and more! ____20____ The reason lies in that they are capable of growing a variety of produce at all times and providing people with local fresh foods at affordable prices.
A. Vertical farming has a rich history.
B. One solution is indoor vertical farming.
C. The practice isn’t as simple as it sounds.
D. Most vertical farms can grow all year round.
E. That said, vertical farming will replace traditional agriculture soon.
F. Despite the benefits, the method also comes with considerable downsides.
G. This diversity and consistent output help address a critical urban issue: food deserts.

But her note showed no signs of ____32____, only genuine admiration and a spirit of cooperation.
That small gesture changed Leo’s ____33____. He realized that the true value of winning wasn’t in the medal, but in the knowledge ____34____ and the connections made.

Yesterday, my friend Alex and I noticed our next-door neighbor, Mrs. Thompson, looking unusually stressed as she walked in and out of her house. Her car was parked messily in the driveway, and she seemed to be in a hurry.
We decided to ask if she needed any help. As we walked over, she was struggling to carry a large box. I offered to take it from her, and she gratefully handed it to me. She explained that she was moving some of her late(已故的) husband’s things to a storage unit. Her voice trembled as she mentioned her husband, and I could see the pain in her eyes.
Over the next few hours, Alex and I helped her load more boxes into her car. We listened as she shared stories full of love about her husband and the life they had together. It was clear that this was a very emotional time for her. Mrs. Thompson thanked us for the timely help, and for a moment, her face seemed to relax a bit.
However, later in the day, things took a turn. As we were about to leave, we overheard Mrs. Thompson on the phone. She was arguing with someone about money. It seemed that there were some unexpected bills related to the storage unit, and she was worried about how she would pay them.
Alex immediately suggested that we pool our savings to help her, but I hesitated. I had been saving up for a new pair of sneakers(运动鞋) for a long time, and I wasn’t sure if I was ready to give that up. The sneakers were limited edition, and I had been eyeing them for months.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I really wanted those sneakers, yet I knew Mrs. Thompson was in a tough spot.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With hearts beating fast, we walked up to Mrs. Thompson with some savings.

Chenoa Tremblay is a radio astronomer who uses radio telescopes (望远镜) and a specific analytical technique to study molecules (分子) in the gas layers (层) around stars. By analyzing these molecules’ unique frequency signals, she identifies signs related to life — such as water — that are potential signs of life beyond Earth. Additionally, she uses computers and advanced mathematics to turn these signals into images, enabling the study of the universe in ways that human eyes can’t.
Tremblay grew up in a small town in New Hampshire. There wasn’t a lot of expectation of girls doing much outside of home. But she was a naturally very curious child. Throughout high school, learning was hard for her most of the time. But math was always fairly easy, and she enjoyed chemistry.
Tremblay decided to study business and accounting in college. It seemed logical, but she really wasn’t sure what she’d do with it. Her roommate was studying chemistry, and she found herself helping her with her homework. Her friends finally convinced her to study chemistry instead.
Tremblay started volunteering for university projects to learn from teachers. That helped her figure out how to become a radio astronomer. In 2016, she got into a doctoral program for physics and astronomy in Australia. During her program, Tremblay and her team were using a brand-new radio telescope in Western Australia. In high school and her first years in college, she really struggled with physics. So it’s really funny that she ended up with a Ph.D. in the subject. At some point in the learning process, things just started to click.
“The career you decide on now doesn’t have to be what you do later. You can change your mind and switch paths.” Tremblay said in a speech for young students. “You can explore what you find interesting about the world.”
4. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Tremblay is good at designing telescopes.
B. Tremblay finds it possible to live beyond earth.
C. Tremblay’s work is about the study of the universe.
D. Tremblay’s study has gained widespread recognition.
5. What directly led Tremblay to change her university major?
A. The appeal of chemistry. B. The push from her friends.
C. The advice from her parents. D. The doubt about her future job.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. A new radio telescope. B. Tremblay and her team.
C. University volunteer work. D. Tremblay’s Ph.D. journey.
7. What can we learn from Tremblay’s experience?

If you’ve spent any time in the gardening corners of social media lately, you’ve likely come across a trend called “chaos (混乱) gardening.” The name alone is eye-catching — equal parts fun, rebellious (叛逆的) and slightly alarming. Picture someone throwing seeds into bare soil aimlessly, watering once or twice, and ending up with a backyard full of bright flowers everywhere. No rows, no color coordination (搭配), no spacing charts — just spread the seeds and hope for the best.
As a landscape specialist at Colorado State University Extension, I think a lot about how to help people make designed landscapes more environmentally friendly.
But what is chaos gardening, really? Chaos gardening is the practice of mixing a wide variety of seeds and scattering (撒) them over a planting area with minimal planning. For many, it’s a low-pressure, joyful way to experiment.
One reason chaos gardening may be catching on is that it sidesteps the rules of garden design. A traditional landscape design approach is effective and appropriate for many settings, but it is time-consuming and can feel stressful. Even that easy, messy look of a cottage garden still needs lots of planning. Chaos gardening, by contrast, lets go of control.
There’s also the allure of ease. People want gardening to be simple. If chaos gardening brings more people into the joy and mess of growing things, I consider that a win in itself. Broader research has found that emotional connection and accessibility are major motivators for gardening, often more than environmental impact.
Chaos gardening might not replace the structured borders of a well-cut garden, but it might get newcomers into the garden. It might make things feel less risky, encourage experimentation, and help people see beauty in richness rather than in control. If that’s the entry point someone needs, then let the chaos begin.
8. What is the primary characteristic of chaos gardening?
A. Sticking to ecological restoration principles.
B. Sowing diverse seeds with little prior planning.
C. Planning carefully and coordinating plant colors.
D. Focusing on a single type of plant for maximum harvest.
9. Why is chaos gardening becoming popular?
A. It requires a lot of time and effort.
B. It follows the traditional garden design.
C. It has a positive impact on the environment.
D. It avoids the rules of garden design and is easy to do.
10. What does the underlined word “allure” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Improvement. B. Possibility. C. Attraction. D. Tradition.
11. What does the author imply about chaos gardening?
A. It serves as a gateway.
B. It challenges experts.
C. It might replace formal gardens.
D. It ensures perfect results.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了社交媒体上新流行的“混乱园艺(chaos gardening)”,解释了它的含义、流行原因,并给出作者的看法。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Chaos gardening is the practice of mixing a wide variety of seeds and scattering (撒) them over a planting area with minimal planning. (混乱园艺指将多种种子混合在一起,几乎不作规划,直接撒播在种植区域。)”可知,混乱园艺的主要特征是播种多样的种子,且前期几乎不做规划。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“One reason chaos gardening may be catching on is that it sidesteps the rules of garden design. (混乱园艺走红的原因之一,是它抛开了园艺设计的条条框框。)”和第五段中的“ People want gardening to be simple. (人们希望园艺能简单一些。)”可知,混乱园艺流行是因为它既避开了园艺设计规则,又简单易操作。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“People want gardening to be simple. If chaos gardening brings more people into the joy and mess of growing things, I consider that a win in itself. (人们希望园艺变得简单。如果混乱园艺能让更多人感受到种植的乐趣和混乱,我本身就认为这是一种成功。)”可知,“便捷性”是吸引人们选择混乱园艺的点,因此画线词“allure”意为“吸引力”。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Chaos gardening might not replace the structured borders of a well-cut garden, but it might get newcomers into the garden. It might make things feel less risky, encourage experimentation, and help people see beauty in richness rather than in control. If that’s the entry point someone needs, then let the chaos begin. (混乱园艺或许无法取代修剪整齐、布局规整的花园,但它可以吸引园艺新手入坑。它降低了尝试的风险,鼓励人们大胆试验,也让人们学会欣赏丰盈繁茂之美,而非执着于人为管控。如果这正是有些人所需要的园艺入门方式,那就尽情开启这场“混乱”吧。)”可知,作者暗示混乱园艺是新手进入园艺领域的敲门砖。
D
A doctor in Florida successfully operated on a patient 7,000 miles away in Africa, using a remote-controlled robot to perform the surgery.
Fernando Da Silva, who lives in Angola, needed surgery to treat cancer. In a robotic surgical procedure, the surgeon does not touch the patient. Instead, the doctor moves their hands to control smaller robotic hands that hold surgical instruments. When the doctor moves their hands around, the robotic hands move in the same way.
Da Silva’s procedure, called “transcontinental robotic telesurgery”, was performed by Dr. Vipul Patel from Florida. He sat at a robotic console (控制台) equipped with a 3D screen and highly responsive hand controls. His movements were transmitted through fiber-optic (光纤) cables that run under the ocean to robotic arms in the operating room in Angola.
Fiber-optic technology transmits data faster and farther than other communication methods. Patel has performed nearly 20,000 robotic surgeries. He said that despite the distance, there was no noticeable delay between his movements and the response of the robotic arms. The entire process took about one hour and 20 minutes.
Although Patel was in the US, his medical team was in the operating room in Angola with Da Silva. “I always have my team where the patient is,” Patel said. “So, in case something happened with the telecommunications, the team would just take over and finish the operation.”
The team did not need to intervene, however, as Da Silva’s surgery was a success. The procedure was part of a clinical trial approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the government agency that promotes and protects public health. Patel said he plans to perform more surgeries like this one and present the results to the FDA for review.
Patel said he believes robotic technology will allow doctors to perform surgery around the world and help people in rural or less wealthy areas, where access to medical care is limited. He hopes it can also be used to help people who are experiencing medical emergencies, like heart attacks and strokes.
12. What can be inferred about the role of fiber-optic technology in the surgery?
A. It ensures real-time communication.
B. It reduces the cost of the operation.
C. It replaces the need for a medical team.
D. It spares the trouble of training a surgeon.
13. Why did Dr. Patel have a medical team present in the operating room in Angola?
A. To assist with the robotic equipment setup.
B. To ensure the complete success of the operation.
C. To train local doctors in robotic techniques.
D. To meet the regulations of FDA for a surgery.
14. What is Dr. Patel’s attitude toward the future of robotic telesurgery?
A. Doubtful about its practicality. B. Concerned about its high cost.
C. Optimistic about its potential benefits. D. Critical of its technological limitations.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The Challenges of Remote Surgery
B. The History of Robotic Surgical Procedures
C. How Fiber-Optic Technology Changed Medicine
D. A Breakthrough in Long-Distance Robotic Surgery
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了佛罗里达州的一名医生使用远程控制的机器人为远在7000英里外的非洲患者成功进行手术的事件。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Fiber-optic technology transmits data faster and farther than other communication methods. Patel has performed nearly 20,000 robotic surgeries. He said that despite the distance, there was no noticeable delay between his movements and the response of the robotic arms.(光纤技术比其他通信方法传输数据更快、更远。帕特尔已经进行了近2万例机器人手术。他说,尽管距离遥远,但他的动作和机械臂的反应之间没有明显的延迟。)”可知,光纤技术确保了手术过程中的实时通信,使得医生在远距离操作时能够及时得到机械臂的反馈。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Although Patel was in the US, his medical team was in the operating room in Angola with Da Silva. ‘I always have my team where the patient is,’ Patel said. ‘So, in case something happened with the telecommunications, the team would just take over and finish the operation.’(虽然帕特尔在美国,但他的医疗团队和达席尔瓦在安哥拉的手术室里。帕特尔说:‘我总是让我的团队待在病人身边。所以,如果电信方面出了什么问题,团队就会接手完成手术。’)”可知,帕特尔医生在安哥拉的手术室里有医疗团队是为了确保手术能够完全成功,以防电信方面出现问题。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Patel said he believes robotic technology will allow doctors to perform surgery around the world and help people in rural or less wealthy areas, where access to medical care is limited. He hopes it can also be used to help people who are experiencing medical emergencies, like heart attacks and strokes.(帕特尔说,他相信机器人技术将使医生能够在世界各地进行手术,并帮助农村或不太富裕地区的人们,这些地区的医疗保健服务有限。他希望这项技术也能用于帮助那些正在经历心脏病发作和中风等医疗紧急情况的人。)”可知,帕特尔医生对机器人远程手术的未来持乐观态度,认为它具有巨大的潜在益处。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A doctor in Florida successfully operated on a patient 7,000 miles away in Africa, using a remote-controlled robot to perform the surgery.(佛罗里达州的一名医生使用远程控制的机器人为远在7000英里外的非洲患者成功进行了手术。)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要报道了佛罗里达州的一名医生使用远程控制的机器人为远在非洲的患者成功进行手术的事件,这是一次长距离机器人手术的突破。所以“A Breakthrough in Long-Distance Robotic Surgery(长距离机器人手术的突破)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D项。

In cities across the globe, up to a quarter of office buildings are unoccupied, along with other urban properties, from storage to abandoned skyscrapers. To put this space to use, many cities are transforming empty buildings for other uses. ____16____
Just as the name suggests, vertical (垂直的) farming is the practice of growing crops in layers as opposed to traditional horizontal rows. These layers are often placed in spaces unfit for farming, but now we can grow crops there due to advanced agricultural methods. ____17____ However, thanks to technology, artificial light, and controlled temperatures and humidity, office spaces have proved to be great environments for farming.
____18____ It dates back to over 2,000 years ago with the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Modern vertical farming simply began as an experiment in 1999, focused on growing food on the rooftops of Manhattan. Their work eventually transformed into using high-rise buildings as vertical farms to feed thousands of people in a sustainable manner. Vertical farming is now a $6 billion industry.
The main benefit of vertical farming is that it maximizes the yield of crops by efficiently using space. ____19____ It is made possible by their controlled environments and soilless agriculture methods like hydroponics (水培法). Hydroponics allows plants to grow in a water-based solution rather than soil, saving water. In fact, hydroponic systems only require 10% of the water of a traditional field.
Despite being untraditional, vertical farms produce over 50 types of plants, ranging from leafy greens and herbs to experimental fruits and more! ____20____ The reason lies in that they are capable of growing a variety of produce at all times and providing people with local fresh foods at affordable prices.
A. Vertical farming has a rich history.
B. One solution is indoor vertical farming.
C. The practice isn’t as simple as it sounds.
D. Most vertical farms can grow all year round.
E. That said, vertical farming will replace traditional agriculture soon.
F. Despite the benefits, the method also comes with considerable downsides.
G. This diversity and consistent output help address a critical urban issue: food deserts.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。威尔士人Hiley在挪威推广太极,她因对运动的学术兴趣和对黑色的艺术迷恋接触太极,后建立学校,用温和的方式教学,引导学生体验太极的身心益处。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:Hiley原籍英国威尔士,在挪威生活了四十多年。根据句意和句中“for more than four decades”可知,句子应用现在完成时,表示动作开始于过去并持续到现在,或表示动作从过去某时间开始一直延续到现在并可能还要继续下去,Hiley与has连用,live用过去分词形式。故填has lived。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:作为奥斯陆挪威太极中心的创始人,她被广泛认为是该国太极拳的先驱。根据句意和句中“of the Norwegian Taiji Center”可知,空格处应用名词,表示“创始人”,found对应的名词为founder,为可数名词,根据句中“she”可知,空格处应用founder的单数形式。故填founder。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意:但对Hiley来说,太极不仅仅是一种了不起的武术或一种身体锻炼形式——它是一条了解自己、与更广阔的世界建立联系的途径。根据句意和句中“martial art”可知,空格处应用形容词,修饰名词,remark的形容词形式为remarkable,意为“了不起的”。故填remarkable。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:但对Hiley来说,太极不仅仅是一种了不起的武术或一种身体锻炼形式——它是一条了解自己、与更广阔的世界建立联系的途径。根据句意和句中“a path”可知,空格处应用介词,表示“通往……的道路”,应用介词to。故填to。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:她对运动的学术好奇心,加上对黑色的艺术迷恋,最终使她接触到了太极。combine在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语Her academic curiosity about movement构成被动关系,故用过去分词作状语。故填combined。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:后来,在伦敦攻读研究生学位时,她找到了一位太极老师。study在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语she构成主动关系,且该动作与 found为同时发生,故用现在分词作状语,构成while doing的结构。故填studying。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:后来,应个人邀请,Hiley搬到了挪威,在那里她建立了一所新的太极学校。空格处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Norway,先行词在从句中作地点状语,关系副词为where。故填where。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:Hiley的太极方法很温和,尤其是对初学者。根据句意和句中“with”可知,空格处应用名词,表示“初学者”,beginner意为“初学者”,为可数名词,空格前无冠词,故应用beginner的复数形式beginners。故填beginners。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:她通过动作引入哲学思想,向学生展示如何在身体中感受这些概念。feel在句中应用非谓语动词形式,根据“how”可知,此处为“疑问词+不定式”作宾语,故空格处应用“to feel”。故填to feel。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:她问她的学生,因为她认识到人们来太极是为了寻求解决各种各样的困难——身体、情感或心理上的。句中构成固定短语“a wide range of”,意为“各种各样的”,故空格处应用不定冠词a。故填a。

Should We Help Strangers?
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Recently our class had a heated discussion about whether we should help strangers. Opinions are divided on this issue.
Some people are in favor of it, saying that helping others is a traditional virtue, which can bring love and warmth to the people in need. Additionally, helping others means helping ourselves, because everyone needs help. However, others have the opposite opinion. They argue that helping others can sometimes bring us trouble. What’s worse, maybe we are misunderstood by some people.
In my opinion, we should try our best to help others when they are in need of help, but first we should avoid getting into trouble.

第二节(满分20分)
57. 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。
Yesterday, my friend Alex and I noticed our next-door neighbor, Mrs. Thompson, looking unusually stressed as she walked in and out of her house. Her car was parked messily in the driveway, and she seemed to be in a hurry.
We decided to ask if she needed any help. As we walked over, she was struggling to carry a large box. I offered to take it from her, and she gratefully handed it to me. She explained that she was moving some of her late(已故的) husband’s things to a storage unit. Her voice trembled as she mentioned her husband, and I could see the pain in her eyes.
Over the next few hours, Alex and I helped her load more boxes into her car. We listened as she shared stories full of love about her husband and the life they had together. It was clear that this was a very emotional time for her. Mrs. Thompson thanked us for the timely help, and for a moment, her face seemed to relax a bit.
However, later in the day, things took a turn. As we were about to leave, we overheard Mrs. Thompson on the phone. She was arguing with someone about money. It seemed that there were some unexpected bills related to the storage unit, and she was worried about how she would pay them.
Alex immediately suggested that we pool our savings to help her, but I hesitated. I had been saving up for a new pair of sneakers(运动鞋) for a long time, and I wasn’t sure if I was ready to give that up. The sneakers were limited edition, and I had been eyeing them for months.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I really wanted those sneakers, yet I knew Mrs. Thompson was in a tough spot.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With hearts beating fast, we walked up to Mrs. Thompson with some savings.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
I really wanted those sneakers, yet I knew Mrs. Thompson was in a tough spot. Alex kept looking at me with begging eyes. I felt so torn, my mind full of a mix of guilt and longing. The picture of the cool sneakers kept appearing in my head, but so did Mrs. Thompson’s sad expression. After what seemed like a really long time of struggling inside myself, I took a deep breath and nodded at Alex. We quickly figured out how much money we could give without using up all our savings.
With hearts beating fast, we walked up to Mrs. Thompson with some savings. When we held out the money to her, her eyes opened wide in shock. We told her it was the least we could do and we hoped she could soon go through the hard time. Her thankfulness was really strong, and she gave us both a big hug. In that moment, I realized that the happiness of helping her was much greater than the short-lived excitement of getting those sneakers. The experience taught me that real value isn’t in things we own but in the relationships we make and the kindness we show.
