Welcome to Glacier National Park
Set in the wonderful Rockies of northern Montana, Glacier National Park, famous for its amazing glaciers and large U-shaped valleys, is worth visiting!
Don’t miss Going-to-the-Sun Road
On its run across the park, Going-to-the-Sun Road offers more wonderful viewpoints than just about any other drive in the National Park System. Logan Pass is a must-stop. But there are many panoramic (全景的) views along the 50-mile route: Jackson Glacier Overlook, Oberlin Bend, etc. Lakeshores are another great place for you to take photos, especially the view from Apgar Village across Lake McDonald.
Best things to do for families
• During the summer months, Apgar Nature Center offers hands-on, interactive exhibits, games and activities for kids, as well as ranger (护林员) talks on park plants and animals.
• Boat rides on park lakes and whitewater rafting (漂流) on the Flathead River are great ways to explore the park’s waterways. You can also rent bikes to cycle the Apgar Bike Path.
• Families staying longer in the park can participate in the Glacier Institute’s summer children’s overnight programs, such as the two-day Happy Camper Camp, three-day Survival Skills Camp, or four-day Nature Discovery Camp.
Here’s what else you need to know
• Fees: Private cars are $35, motorcycles are $30, and individuals are $20.
• Access: You can enter the park either from the West Glacier entrance, which is 35 miles from Kalispell, or from the St. Mary entrance on the park’s eastern side.
• When to go: Although Glacier National Park is open year-round, many facilities are only available during the high season, from late May to the end of September. Summers in the northern Rockies are brilliant, with sunny, blue-sky days. However, the weather can change quickly, bringing rain, wind and even the possibility of summer snow at higher places.

I grew up hearing pieces of stories about my great-grandfather, an olive (橄榄) farmer in Sicily, who left for America in 1923 with nothing but a bag and a handful of soil. My grandmother spoke of him in soft Italian, and of an old olive tree that was said to have watched generations come and go. For years, these stories were just words — beautiful, but distant, like a book I’d read but never lived. Last summer, I boarded a plane to Sicily to find the tree and the roots (根) I’d only known in whispers.
My hands shook as I saw the tree in the distance: thick with branches spreading wide like open arms. I reached out and touched it. The bark (树皮) was warm, worn smooth by decades of hands — my great-grandfather’s hands, his father’s, his grandfather’s. In that moment, the distance between past and present broke down.
A local elder said my great-grandfather left because the olive harvest failed three years in a row. He sailed to America to support his family back home. He never returned. His family joined him years later. Since then, villagers had tended to the olive tree, generation after generation, a reminder of those who had left.
As the sun set, I sat under the olive tree. I thought of my grandmother, who had always felt like a stranger in America, sticking to Italian traditions: making olive oil, speaking her dialect, hanging a dried olive branch above our door. I had thought these customs old-fashioned and meaningless. Now I understood her.
Before I left, I dug a small hole under the olive tree that bridged me to the past and my culture, and placed a handful of American soil next to the Sicilian earth. I whispered a promise: I would carry forward these stories that had shaped our family. I left Sicily not just with a handful of soil, but with a sense of belonging I had never felt before.
4. Why did the author decide to go to Sicily?
A. To seek cultural identity. B. To collect story materials.
C. To visit her grandparents. D. To enjoy a family vacation.
5. How did the author feel when she touched the olive tree?
A. Nervous. B. Connected. C. Heartbroken. D. Excited.
6. What did the author finally think of her grandmother’s customs?
A. They were outdated rules. B. They were useless practices.
C. They were spiritual lifelines. D. They were foreign traditions.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Growing up as a Story Lover B. Sticking to My Italian Traditions
C. Reuniting with My Warm Family D. Finding Roots under the Olive Tree

As AI art generators (生成器) take the world by storm, some people wonder if their works should count as art at all. The technology is still developing and has some wrinkles to iron out, which means there are indeed flaws to consider alongside the incredible artwork a good artificial intelligence can produce.
Art is classed as the product of imagination, skill, experience, and emotion, usually meant to represent something for the public to enjoy. Artists spent time and effort putting their inner worlds onto these works. Machine intelligence also puts a lot of work into sorting through tons of data, linking someone’s prompt to datasets, and trying to represent it as best as possible. The difference is that the AI is driven by instructions instead of an emotional desire to express itself.
AI painters can produce over 1,000 original works of art with every tap of the enter key on a keyboard. But a mass-produced print of the Mona Lisa is worth less than the actual Leonardo da Vinci’s painting. Why? Scarcity — there’s only one of the original. Should anyone pay for these things? And if an artist puts AI masterpieces up for sale, what should the price be?
AI art involves a program mimicking (模仿) the work of existing artists to create a new piece according to the request of a human. But who made the artwork, the machine or its user? And can the original artists sue(诉讼) for copyright violation? Such questions complicate the combination of artificial intelligence and the art industry, while fueling arguments against recognizing AI-generated art as marketable artistic products.
Once we’ve answered those questions, we can tackle the really big one: When an AI-generated painting wins an award, who gets the prize?
8. What does the underlined word “flaws” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Benefits. B. Advances. C. Weaknesses. D. Standards.
9. How is AI art different from human art?
A. It is the product of experience. B. It costs less money to produce.
C. It combines different styles of work. D. It is not a mirror of humans’ emotions.
10. Why does the writer mention Mona Lisa in paragraph 3?
A. To prove the popularity of classic artworks.
B. To introduce a new way of conserving art masterpieces.
C. To present the potential trouble with the value of AI art.
D. To show the advantages of AI painters over human artists.
11. What can we infer from paragraph 4?
A. AI art promotes the sale of artistic products.
B. AI art makes copyright issues more complicated.
C. Artists can create more works with the help of AI.
D. There will be fierce competition in the art industry.
D
Microplastics are pollutants found almost everywhere in the environment: such as in ponds, lakes, rivers, waste-water, and the fish that we take in. To date, the most typical methods of microplastic removal have relied on filtration (过滤). However, it costs a pretty penny, gets blocked easily and does not work for those smaller-sized ones.
Susie Dai, a researcher at the University of Missouri, coupled with her colleagues, has been devoted to pioneering a novel solution to remove those microplastics from our water. Recently, they used genetic adaptation to create algae (simple water plants without roots) producing limonene, a naturally occurring oil responsible for the sweet smell of oranges, which makes the engineered algae water-repelling (拒水的). Because microplastics are also water-repellent, the two come together just like magnets (磁铁) when they meet in water, forming large masses that sink to the bottom and create a solid layer of biomass easy to collect and remove.
Researchers tested it by examining the collection of polystyrene (PS) microplastic on the algae in water and found 91.4% of PS was removed in just one hour. Different microplastics were also tried out. Just like with PS, they saw interactions between the algae and Polyethylene (PE) and Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), proving the algae worked for most microplastics. “By removing the microplastics, cleaning the wastewater and eventually using the removed microplastics to create bioplastic products for good, we can handle three issues with one approach,” Dai said.
While the research is still in the early stage, the team is already growing algae in controlled bioreactors (生物反应器) designed for large-scale applications. One such system, a 100-liter unit named “Shrek”, is being adapted to treat microplastic-polluted water.
Looking ahead, the team plans to expand this technology by building larger versions of these bioreactors, which could be adapted to treat wastewater in a better way and help remove greater varieties of environmental pollutants. For now, this is an exciting step toward the upcycling of microplastics — turning pollutants into resources for bioplastics!
12. What is the limitation of the present microplastic removal technology?
A. It is costly and inefficient. B. It is challenging to employ.
C. It requires daily adjustment. D. It causes secondary pollution.
13. What makes engineered algae easier to trap microplastics?
A. Its orange smell. B. Its magnetic quality.
C. Its solid-layered form. D. Its water-resistant nature.
14. What does Susie Dai imply in Paragraph 3?
A. The treated water is drinkable. B. Bioplastic goods are in demand.
C. Plastics need treating differently. D. The new method proves beneficial.
15. What does the follow-up study focus on?
A. Enlargement of equipment size. B. Update of experimental theories.
C. Choice of new treatment methods. D. Combination of various technologies.

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。
“Feeling hungry all of a sudden? Whatever you fancy, it’s just a tap away on food delivery apps. Sunday brunch plans cancelled? Skip the queues and get your favorite food delivered right to your door.” These are typical marketing lines that delivery platforms use daily to attract customers to place orders. ____16____
One main reason for choosing food delivery lies in its convenience. ____17____ There is no need to dress up, travel a long way to restaurants or wait in endless crowds. Time saved can be spent on leftover schoolwork and delayed housework. When convenience is prioritized, home delivery surely wins over eating out.
____18____ For introverts (内向的人), ordering food online is practically a must. Thanks to contactless delivery, we can ask riders to leave meals at the door handles and pick them up later. After getting food, we may curl up on the sofa in casual clothes and enjoy shows while eating, a comfortable experience hard to gain from dining outside.
Dine-out lovers claim delivery costs more with extra delivery fees and marked-up dish prices. ____19____ The extra payments actually serve to fairly reward hard-working delivery riders. Every extra penny helps support riders’ livelihoods, which makes ordering delivery worthwhile.
All things considered, home delivery turns out to be a wiser choice. ____20____ It saves our energy, offers cozy enjoyment and helps feed delivery workers, leaving little reason to prefer dining out.
A. It helps escape tiring face-to-face communication.
B. Some people still prefer to dine in local restaurants.
C. And behind this choice are multiple practical benefits.
D. It saves us all the trouble of preparing for eating outside.
E. However, these extra fees are quite reasonable from another angle.
F. Some small restaurants lower prices to compete with online delivery services.
G. Despite ignoring these ads, most people still prefer ordering delivery to dining out.

57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一个段落(80词左右),使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My brother Jack was so smart that he earned a full scholarship to Harvard. I often wished he wasn't so perfect because it made me feel like I had to work twice as hard just to prove myself to others. On the one hand, his success was a challenge that I enjoyed, but on the other hand, it was a huge amount of pressure that I struggled to cope with.
To balance his record in high school, I felt like I was constantly running on a treadmill (跑步机), devoting every moment to a non-stop race. There was no room for relaxation as I pursued that perfect record. My life seemed to be compressed into a series of endless tasks and deadlines. “I needed an A,” I repeated to myself before the biology test, so that I would maintain my perfect record and secure a place on the honor roll. I studied till the last minute of lunch and rushed to class. I felt a sense of confidence as I glanced over the first page of the test, quickly filling in the answers with a smile. However, as I turned to the last page, my mind went blank. Time ticked by, and soon the classroom began to empty as students finished their tests and left, except me. “Lara, class ended. I need you to hand in your test,” Mrs. Phloem said, stretching out her hand. Unwillingly, I handed her the test paper.
The next day, I received my test back. I stared at the red mark in shock: 76. Not even a B minus, my mind screamed. Just average. It’s over. No perfect record. I felt an unprecedented (前所未有的) sense of frustration and disappointment. After school, I dragged my heavy feet back home. When I pushed open the door, Jack was sitting on the couch, reading. Seeing his leisurely state, I cried, hard to contain the jealousy (妒忌) and sadness in my heart. Jack immediately noticed the depression on my face. He asked with concern, “What’s wrong, Lara?” Blinded by frustration mixed with a touch of jealousy, I shouted at him, “How I wish you were not so perfect!”
With a touch of hurt and surprise in his eyes, Jack approached me in a gentle way.

【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了作者从小听闻曾祖父作为西西里橄榄农远走美国的家族故事,这些故事曾遥远又模糊,她最终找到那棵见证家族世代的老橄榄树,在触摸古树、了解过往的过程中,读懂了祖母坚守的意大利传统的意义,完成了与家族根源、自身文化的联结,最终收获了前所未有的归属感。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Last summer, I boarded a plane to Sicily to find the tree and the roots (根) I’d only known in whispers.(去年夏天,我登上飞往西西里岛的航班,去寻找那棵树,以及那些只在旁人零星闲谈中听闻过的家族根源。)”可知,作者决定前往西西里是为了探寻家族根源、找到自身的文化归属。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“My hands shook as I saw the tree in the distance... I reached out and touched it. The bark was warm, worn smooth by decades of hands — my great-grandfather’s hands, his father’s, his grandfather’s. In that moment, the distance between past and present broke down.(远远望见那棵树时,我的双手止不住颤抖……我伸出手抚上树干。树皮带着温热,历经数十年无数人的摩挲,早已变得光滑——曾祖父、他的父亲、他祖父的手,都曾抚过这里。就在那一刻,过往与当下之间的隔阂彻底消散了。)”可知,触摸古树的瞬间,过去与当下的隔阂消解,她和家族历史产生了紧密的联结。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“I had thought these customs old-fashioned and meaningless. Now I understood her.(我从前总觉得这些习俗老旧落伍、毫无意义。现在我终于懂她了。)”可知,作者从前觉得这些习俗老旧无意义,如今读懂了它们是承载家族文化的精神依托。
【7题详解】

As AI art generators (生成器) take the world by storm, some people wonder if their works should count as art at all. The technology is still developing and has some wrinkles to iron out, which means there are indeed flaws to consider alongside the incredible artwork a good artificial intelligence can produce.
Art is classed as the product of imagination, skill, experience, and emotion, usually meant to represent something for the public to enjoy. Artists spent time and effort putting their inner worlds onto these works. Machine intelligence also puts a lot of work into sorting through tons of data, linking someone’s prompt to datasets, and trying to represent it as best as possible. The difference is that the AI is driven by instructions instead of an emotional desire to express itself.
AI painters can produce over 1,000 original works of art with every tap of the enter key on a keyboard. But a mass-produced print of the Mona Lisa is worth less than the actual Leonardo da Vinci’s painting. Why? Scarcity — there’s only one of the original. Should anyone pay for these things? And if an artist puts AI masterpieces up for sale, what should the price be?
AI art involves a program mimicking (模仿) the work of existing artists to create a new piece according to the request of a human. But who made the artwork, the machine or its user? And can the original artists sue(诉讼) for copyright violation? Such questions complicate the combination of artificial intelligence and the art industry, while fueling arguments against recognizing AI-generated art as marketable artistic products.
Once we’ve answered those questions, we can tackle the really big one: When an AI-generated painting wins an award, who gets the prize?
8. What does the underlined word “flaws” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Benefits. B. Advances. C. Weaknesses. D. Standards.
9. How is AI art different from human art?
A. It is the product of experience. B. It costs less money to produce.
C. It combines different styles of work. D. It is not a mirror of humans’ emotions.
10. Why does the writer mention Mona Lisa in paragraph 3?
A. To prove the popularity of classic artworks.
B. To introduce a new way of conserving art masterpieces.
C. To present the potential trouble with the value of AI art.
D. To show the advantages of AI painters over human artists.
11. What can we infer from paragraph 4?
A. AI art promotes the sale of artistic products.
B. AI art makes copyright issues more complicated.
C. Artists can create more works with the help of AI.
D. There will be fierce competition in the art industry.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了AI艺术生成器带来的争议,包括其是否算艺术、版权问题以及艺术价值等。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前的“The technology is still developing and has some wrinkles to iron out(这项技术仍在发展,尚有一些问题需要解决)”可知,该技术仍在发展,有些问题需要解决,这意味着除了令人惊叹的艺术品外,确实还有“缺陷”需要考虑。flaws与weaknesses同义,指“缺陷、弱点”。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The difference is that the AI is driven by instructions instead of an emotional desire to express itself.(不同之处在于,AI是由指令驱动的,而不是表达自己的情感欲望。)”可知,AI艺术与人类艺术的不同之处在于,AI是由指令驱动,而非表达自我的情感欲望,因此它不是人类情感的反映。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“But a mass-produced print of the Mona Lisa is worth less than the actual Leonardo da Vinci’s painting. Why? Scarcity — there’s only one of the original.(但是,一幅批量生产的《蒙娜丽莎》版画的价值还不如莱昂纳多·达·芬奇的真迹。为什么? 稀缺性——只有一个原作。)”可知,作者提到《蒙娜丽莎》是为了说明稀缺性决定艺术价值,而AI艺术可以批量生产,这带来了对其价值认定的潜在问题。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“But who made the artwork, the machine or its user? And can the original artists sue for copyright violation? Such questions complicate the combination of artificial intelligence and the art industry, while fueling arguments against recognizing AI-generated art as marketable artistic products.(但是是谁创造了艺术品,机器还是它的使用者?原创艺术家可以起诉侵犯版权吗?这些问题使人工智能和艺术产业的结合变得复杂,同时也加剧了反对将人工智能生成的艺术视为可销售的艺术产品的争论。)”可知,AI艺术让版权问题变得更加复杂。故选B。
D
Microplastics are pollutants found almost everywhere in the environment: such as in ponds, lakes, rivers, waste-water, and the fish that we take in. To date, the most typical methods of microplastic removal have relied on filtration (过滤). However, it costs a pretty penny, gets blocked easily and does not work for those smaller-sized ones.
Susie Dai, a researcher at the University of Missouri, coupled with her colleagues, has been devoted to pioneering a novel solution to remove those microplastics from our water. Recently, they used genetic adaptation to create algae (simple water plants without roots) producing limonene, a naturally occurring oil responsible for the sweet smell of oranges, which makes the engineered algae water-repelling (拒水的). Because microplastics are also water-repellent, the two come together just like magnets (磁铁) when they meet in water, forming large masses that sink to the bottom and create a solid layer of biomass easy to collect and remove.
Researchers tested it by examining the collection of polystyrene (PS) microplastic on the algae in water and found 91.4% of PS was removed in just one hour. Different microplastics were also tried out. Just like with PS, they saw interactions between the algae and Polyethylene (PE) and Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), proving the algae worked for most microplastics. “By removing the microplastics, cleaning the wastewater and eventually using the removed microplastics to create bioplastic products for good, we can handle three issues with one approach,” Dai said.
While the research is still in the early stage, the team is already growing algae in controlled bioreactors (生物反应器) designed for large-scale applications. One such system, a 100-liter unit named “Shrek”, is being adapted to treat microplastic-polluted water.
Looking ahead, the team plans to expand this technology by building larger versions of these bioreactors, which could be adapted to treat wastewater in a better way and help remove greater varieties of environmental pollutants. For now, this is an exciting step toward the upcycling of microplastics — turning pollutants into resources for bioplastics!
12. What is the limitation of the present microplastic removal technology?
A. It is costly and inefficient. B. It is challenging to employ.
C. It requires daily adjustment. D. It causes secondary pollution.
13. What makes engineered algae easier to trap microplastics?
A. Its orange smell. B. Its magnetic quality.
C. Its solid-layered form. D. Its water-resistant nature.
14. What does Susie Dai imply in Paragraph 3?
A. The treated water is drinkable. B. Bioplastic goods are in demand.
C. Plastics need treating differently. D. The new method proves beneficial.
15. What does the follow-up study focus on?
A. Enlargement of equipment size. B. Update of experimental theories.
C. Choice of new treatment methods. D. Combination of various technologies.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲的是密苏里大学团队用基因改造拒水藻,高效吸附水中微塑料,实现治污资源化。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“However, it costs a pretty penny, gets blocked easily and does not work for those smaller-sized ones.(然而,这种方法成本较高,容易堵塞,且对较小尺寸的微塑料效果不佳)”可知,目前的微塑料去除技术存在的局限性是成本高昂且效率低。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Recently, they used genetic adaptation to create algae (simple water plants without roots) producing limonene, a naturally occurring oil responsible for the sweet smell of oranges, which makes the engineered algae water-repelling (拒水的). Because microplastics are also water-repellent, the two come together just like magnets (磁铁) when they meet in water, forming large masses that sink to the bottom and create a solid layer of biomass easy to collect and remove.(最近,他们通过基因适配技术培育出了可生成柠檬烯的藻类——这是一种无根的简单水生植物。柠檬烯是一种天然油脂,正是它赋予了橙子清甜的香气,同时也让经过基因改造的藻类具备了拒水特性。由于微塑料同样具有拒水性,二者在水中相遇时就会像磁铁一样相互吸附,形成大块团状物沉至水底,生成一层便于收集和清理的固态生物质层)”可知,人工藻类的防水性能让它更容易捕捉微塑料。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“By removing the microplastics, cleaning the wastewater and eventually using the removed microplastics to create bioplastic products for good, we can handle three issues with one approach(这套方法既能清除微塑料、净化废水,还能将回收的微塑料制成环保生物塑料产品,一举解决三大难题)”可知,Susie Dai在第三段中暗示新方法被证明是有益的。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Looking ahead, the team plans to expand this technology by building larger versions of these bioreactors, which could be adapted to treat wastewater in a better way and help remove greater varieties of environmental pollutants.(展望未来,团队计划通过建造更大尺寸的生物反应器来扩展这项技术,从而更好地处理废水,并帮助清除更多种类的环境污染物)”可知,后续研究要关注的是设备尺寸的扩大。
第二节(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)
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。
“Feeling hungry all of a sudden? Whatever you fancy, it’s just a tap away on food delivery apps. Sunday brunch plans cancelled? Skip the queues and get your favorite food delivered right to your door.” These are typical marketing lines that delivery platforms use daily to attract customers to place orders. ____16____
One main reason for choosing food delivery lies in its convenience. ____17____ There is no need to dress up, travel a long way to restaurants or wait in endless crowds. Time saved can be spent on leftover schoolwork and delayed housework. When convenience is prioritized, home delivery surely wins over eating out.
____18____ For introverts (内向的人), ordering food online is practically a must. Thanks to contactless delivery, we can ask riders to leave meals at the door handles and pick them up later. After getting food, we may curl up on the sofa in casual clothes and enjoy shows while eating, a comfortable experience hard to gain from dining outside.
Dine-out lovers claim delivery costs more with extra delivery fees and marked-up dish prices. ____19____ The extra payments actually serve to fairly reward hard-working delivery riders. Every extra penny helps support riders’ livelihoods, which makes ordering delivery worthwhile.
All things considered, home delivery turns out to be a wiser choice. ____20____ It saves our energy, offers cozy enjoyment and helps feed delivery workers, leaving little reason to prefer dining out.
A. It helps escape tiring face-to-face communication.
B. Some people still prefer to dine in local restaurants.
C. And behind this choice are multiple practical benefits.
D. It saves us all the trouble of preparing for eating outside.
E. However, these extra fees are quite reasonable from another angle.
F. Some small restaurants lower prices to compete with online delivery services.
G. Despite ignoring these ads, most people still prefer ordering delivery to dining out.
【答案】16. G 17. D 18. A 19. E 20. C
【解析】
【导语】主要分析人们偏爱外卖的多重现实好处,对比堂食,说明外卖是更明智的就餐选择。
【16题详解】
根据前文“These are typical marketing lines that delivery platforms use daily to attract customers to place orders.(这些是外卖平台每天用来吸引顾客下单的典型营销话术。)” 可知,上文介绍外卖平台的营销宣传,本空承接广告引出人们的实际选择。G选项“Despite ignoring these ads, most people still prefer ordering delivery to dining out (尽管忽视这些广告,大多数人仍然更喜欢点外卖而不是外出就餐)”中的指示短语these ads精准对应上文中的marketing lines,实现内容上的指代衔接;句子逻辑上让步转折,即便广告不一定被关注,大众依旧倾向外卖,自然引出下文分析原因,符合上下文语境。
【17题详解】
根据空前“One main reason for choosing food delivery lies in its convenience.(选择外卖的一个主要原因在于它的便利性。)”以及空后“There is no need to dress up, travel a long way to restaurants or wait in endless crowds.(不需要精心打扮、长途奔赴餐馆或是排漫长的队伍。)”可知,本段中心主题是外卖的便利性。空前提到核心关键词convenience,空格处需要对“便利”进行具体阐释,空后则列举外出就餐的种种麻烦作为细节支撑。D选项“It saves us all the trouble of preparing for eating outside (它帮我们省去外出就餐的所有麻烦)”中的It指代food delivery,和后文不需要打扮、赶路、排队形成呼应,起到承上启下的作用,符合语境。
【18题详解】
根据空后“For introverts (内向的人), ordering food online is practically a must. Thanks to contactless delivery, we can ask riders to leave meals at the door handles and pick them up later.(对于内向的人来说,网上点餐几乎是必需的。得益于无接触配送,我们可以让骑手把餐品放在门把手上,之后再取餐。)”可知,后文围绕内向人群展开,介绍无接触配送,不用和他人直接碰面交流。本空是该段主题句,需要概括整段段落主旨。A选项“It helps escape tiring face‑to‑face communication (它有助于摆脱令人疲惫的面对面交流)” 概括本段核心内容,总领本段,符合语境。
【19题详解】
根据空前“Dine‑out lovers claim delivery costs more with extra delivery fees and marked‑up dish prices.(喜爱堂食的人认为外卖花费更高,有额外配送费,菜品价格也更高。)”以及空后“The extra payments actually serve to fairly reward hard‑working delivery riders.(这些额外花费实际上是用来公平回报辛苦工作的外卖骑手。)”可知,空前提出堂食支持者的反面观点,指出外卖存在额外费用的弊端;空后转换立场,解释额外费用存在的积极意义,前后属于明显转折逻辑。E选项“However, these extra fees are quite reasonable from another angle (然而,换个角度看,这些额外费用十分合理)”中However表转折,these extra fees对应上文extra delivery fees and marked‑up dish prices,衔接上下文,符合语境。
【20题详解】
根据空前“All things considered, home delivery turns out to be a wiser choice.(综合来看,外卖是一个更明智的选择。)”以及空后“It saves our energy, offers cozy enjoyment and helps feed delivery workers, leaving little reason to prefer dining out.(它节省我们的精力,带来舒适体验,同时保障骑手收入,几乎没有理由偏爱外出就餐。)”可知,空前得出外卖是更好选择的总判断;空后逐条罗列外卖带来的三点具体益处。空格需要搭建总观点与分条好处之间的桥梁。C选项“And behind this choice are multiple practical benefits (这一选择背后有着诸多实际好处)”中的this choice指代前文选择外卖,引出后文具体好处,符合语境。

I’m writing to voice my concerns about our daily group running during the morning break.

Besides, students with minor injuries or poor physical conditions may risk getting hurt. I suggest we replace the running with optional activities.

第二节(满分15分)
57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一个段落(80词左右),使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My brother Jack was so smart that he earned a full scholarship to Harvard. I often wished he wasn't so perfect because it made me feel like I had to work twice as hard just to prove myself to others. On the one hand, his success was a challenge that I enjoyed, but on the other hand, it was a huge amount of pressure that I struggled to cope with.
To balance his record in high school, I felt like I was constantly running on a treadmill (跑步机), devoting every moment to a non-stop race. There was no room for relaxation as I pursued that perfect record. My life seemed to be compressed into a series of endless tasks and deadlines. “I needed an A,” I repeated to myself before the biology test, so that I would maintain my perfect record and secure a place on the honor roll. I studied till the last minute of lunch and rushed to class. I felt a sense of confidence as I glanced over the first page of the test, quickly filling in the answers with a smile. However, as I turned to the last page, my mind went blank. Time ticked by, and soon the classroom began to empty as students finished their tests and left, except me. “Lara, class ended. I need you to hand in your test,” Mrs. Phloem said, stretching out her hand. Unwillingly, I handed her the test paper.
The next day, I received my test back. I stared at the red mark in shock: 76. Not even a B minus, my mind screamed. Just average. It’s over. No perfect record. I felt an unprecedented (前所未有的) sense of frustration and disappointment. After school, I dragged my heavy feet back home. When I pushed open the door, Jack was sitting on the couch, reading. Seeing his leisurely state, I cried, hard to contain the jealousy (妒忌) and sadness in my heart. Jack immediately noticed the depression on my face. He asked with concern, “What’s wrong, Lara?” Blinded by frustration mixed with a touch of jealousy, I shouted at him, “How I wish you were not so perfect!”
With a touch of hurt and surprise in his eyes, Jack approached me in a gentle way.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】With a touch of hurt and surprise in his eyes, Jack approached me in a gentle way. He told me that he also met many failures and felt stressed, though few people knew it. He said he never expected me to follow his steps. Success doesn’t mean being perfect all the time. It’s okay to make mistakes. His words calmed me down. I realized I had been pushing myself too hard. I apologized for my outburst and finally understood that I didn’t need to race against him.
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述了Lara的哥哥Jack十分优秀,拿到了哈佛全额奖学金。Lara一直承受着巨大压力,拼命追赶哥哥,执着追求完美的成绩,想要证明自己。在一次生物考试中,她发挥失常,只拿到76分,打破了自己一直保持的完美记录。满心沮丧和嫉妒的她回家后向哥哥大吼,宣泄长久以来积压的压力。
【详解】1.段落续写
由段落首句内容可知,本段可描写Jack告诉 Lara自己也会受挫,不必效仿他。Lara醒悟,不再和哥哥攀比。
2.续写线索:告知失败经历——劝说Lara不要效仿——感到平静——Lara感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①告知:tell/inform
②遇到:meet/encounter
情绪类
①有压力的:stressed/pressured
②完美的:perfect/flawless
【点睛】[高分句型1]
He told me that he also met many failures and felt stressed, though few people knew it.(运用了that引导的宾语从句,though引导的让步状语从句)
[高分句型2]
Success doesn’t mean being perfect all the time.(运用了动名词短语作宾语)
