It started in a jeep, on an ordinary ride home from school. Sixth grader Harrison Burgess sat in the car, with his dad listening to news reports about the deadly wildfires in Los Angeles. His heart sank. But unlike most moments that passed in his daily life, this one stayed with him.
“I told my dad I wanted to do something to help,” Harrison recalled. “People had lost everything. I couldn’t just sit with that.”
Years earlier, Harrison’s father had lost his childhood home to a house fire. Harrison remembered hearing how the Red Cross had stepped in when everything was gone. “That story made it real for me,” Harrison said. “I wanted to help people in the same situation my dad had been in.”
Harrison approached the principal of his school, Steve Ruthford, and together they created a plan to raise funds for the Red Cross. Still, Harrison had to face his own fear. “I have stage fright,” he admitted. “But I stood in front of my classmates and talked about the fundraiser anyway. My teachers were there for support, and that helped.”
With posters, morning announcements, and a donation jar in the office, the campaign took off. Slowly, coins and bills poured in — each one a testament (证明) to the generosity of students, teachers, and families who believed in the cause.
“I was really surprised by how much we raised,” Harrison said. What mattered most to Harrison was that many people joined him. “I wasn’t the only one who helped,” he said. “My parents, friends, and teachers — so many people made this happen. It took a community to do big things.”
“I don’t really know my role in the world yet,” Harrison said. “But this helps me figure it out. I know I want to have a positive impact.” To the families who may receive the money, Harrison would simply say, “I’m glad we could help you in a tough time.”
24. How did Harrison feel when he heard about the wildfires?
A. Distant. B. Curious. C. Concerned. D. Scared.
25. Why did Harrison decide to launch the campaign?
A. He was moved by the survivors’ courage.
B. He was inspired by his father’s experience.
C. He was encouraged by his teachers’ support.
D. He was amazed by the Red Cross’s kindness to Steve.
26. What did Harrison want to emphasize about the campaign in paragraph 6?
A. It was promoted through combined efforts.
B. It required plenty of careful planning.
C. It erased public doubt about him.
D. It enabled people to honor him.
27. What can we learn from the story?
A. A hardship can shape one’s character.
B. A shared goal has a short-lived effect.
C. A brave choice can affect one’s future.
D. A small act can make a big difference.
C
After 20 years of careful preparation, the Grand Egyptian Museum has finally opened its door to the public. Located just outside Cairo and right next to the famous Giza Pyramids, the $1 billion museum has more than 50,000 valuable ancient Egyptian treasures — that’s a huge number for an ancient history museum.
Building work on the museum started in 2005, with many of its old treasures moved from the century-old Egyptian Museum in downtown Cairo.
In its entrance stands the statue of one of Egypt’s most famous pharaohs (法老), Ramesses the Great. The 3,200-year-old, 11-meter-tall statue used to stand in the center of a roundabout in front of Cairo’s main train station.
From the museum’s entrance, a six-story set of stairs goes up to the main display rooms and a view of the nearby pyramids, which can also be visited by crossing a bridge from the museum.
It opened on November 1, including two new halls for King Tutankhamun’s 5,000-piece collection. It’s the first time all these rare things have been shown together since his tomb was discovered in 1922. The old Egyptian Museum didn’t have enough space to show all the rare things at once.
Egypt’s government hopes the museum will draw more tourists: It welcomed a record 15.7 million visitors in 2024 and hopes for 30 million by 2032. Hassan Allam, the museum’s operator, expects 15,000 to 20,000 daily visitors. “The world has been waiting for this moment… Everyone’s exhilarated,” he said.
28. When did the building work on the Grand Egyptian Museum start?
A. In 1922. B. In 2005. C. In 2023. D. In 2024.
29. How are paragraphs 3&4 organized?
A. By following space order. B. By following time order.
C. By making a comparison. D. By listing numbers.
30. Why did the old museum fail to show all 5,000 Tutankhamun pieces together?
A. For its poor lighting. B. For the lack of money.
C. For security worries. D. For its limited room.
31. What does the underlined word “exhilarated” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Silent. B. Equal. C. Excited. D. Experienced.
D
Nearly everyone in the world has heard of the Olympic Games, and many people are familiar with the Paralympic Games, but very few know about the equally important Transplant Games. Held every year, these games celebrate the courage of transplant recipients (接受者) and the selflessness of donors’ families.
According to a news release from the Sheffield City Council, the games — which the city will host in the summer of 2026 — are the main event for the Transplant Active charity, which aims to raise awareness of organ (器官) donation and inspire recipients to stay healthy and active.
A blog on Westfield Health’s website explains that over 7,000 people in Britain are waiting for organ transplants now. On average, about three people die every day while waiting, but one donor can save more than nine lives.
The lack of donors still exists even though Britain introduced an “opt-out” organ donation law (默认捐献制) in 2020 — everyone is a potential donor unless they say otherwise. However, it is their families that decide whether to donate their loved ones’ organs, and many people never talk with their families about their wishes.
That’s why the Transplant Games are so important. They draw attention to organ donation and show that recipients can live happy, full lives. Anyone healthy who attends at least one team training camp can join.
During the 2025 Games in Oxford, a five-year-old liver (肝) recipient took part in the obstacle race, the 25-meter sprint, and the ball throw. Another participant, who received a kidney at age 13 and is now 36, trains for the Games every year.
Then there is Jenny Glithero, who had an emergency liver transplant. Six months after learning to breathe again, she was back on a bike, training for the Games. She told Positive News, “Why do I do this? Because I’ve been given the gift of life. It is a way to honor my donor. Some people go to church. I get on the bike.”
32. What is the main purpose of the Transplant Games?
A. To honor outstanding athletes. B. To attract tourists to Sheffield.
C. To compete with the Olympics. D. To encourage organ donation.
33. What can we learn about organ donation in Britain?
A. Its law works perfectly. B. Donors’ choices are final.
C. Few patients need transplants. D. Demand is greater than supply.
34. What can be inferred from the examples in paragraphs 6 and 7?
A. Recipients rebuild life actively. B. Organ failure affects all age groups.
C. Athletes must be young and energetic. D. Sports games require professional skills.
35. What is the main focus of the text?
A. The importance of Transplant Games. B. The popularity of international games.
C. The development of British sports laws. D. The new method to solve organ shortage.
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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We use words to communicate our thoughts, but sometimes our non-verbal language speaks louder than words. Body language includes facial expressions, gestures, and postures. ____36____ For instance, a warm smile can build trust, while maintaining eye contact shows attentiveness and sincerity.
However, the meanings of body language can vary greatly across different cultures. ____37____ A gesture that is polite in one country might be offensive in another. The “thumbs-up” gesture, for example, is a sign of agreement in many places, but it is considered rude in some parts of the Middle East.
Being aware of your own body language is the first step to use it effectively. Good posture shows confidence, and leaning slightly forward shows you are engaged in the conversation. ____38____ It shows respect and interest in what the other person is saying.
Similarly, understanding others’ body language can help you understand their true feelings. ____39____ If a friend says they are not angry but their jaw is tight and their arms are crossed, you might want to talk to them about what’s really wrong.
____40____ By paying close attention to non-verbal cues, you can avoid misunderstandings and connect with others on a deeper level.
So, the next time you are in a conversation, remember to not only listen to the words but also to watch the body.
A. Nodding during a conversation is another positive sign.
B. Therefore, it is crucial to learn about these differences.
C. Mastering this skill will make you a better communicator.
D. It is absolutely a powerful tool in our daily communication.
E. Learning about body language is very important for travellers.
F. It often tells you more about how someone feels than their words do.
G. As for effective communication, observing both words and body language is key.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
David loved writing. When the school announced an English writing competition, David was eager to participate. He worked hard on his entry, believing it was his chance to prove himself. However, when the results were announced, David’s name wasn’t there. He felt a deep sense of disappointment and frustration, as if all his hard work had been in vain.
After the competition, David felt too embarrassed to talk about his failure. He spent days in his room, avoiding everyone. His former imagination seemed to have dried up, and he couldn’t find the motivation to write anymore. It felt like a part of him had been destroyed.
One afternoon, as David sat in his room, his English teacher, Mr. Carter, came to visit. Mr. Carter was a kind and encouraging teacher who had always believed in David's potential. He had noticed David’s absence in class and decided to check in on him.
“Hey, David,” Mr. Carter said gently. “I heard about the competition. I’m really sorry you didn’t win, but I know how much effort you put into it. You should be proud of yourself for trying.” David looked down, feeling defeated. “I just don’t get it, Mr. Carter,” he said quietly. “I worked so hard, but it wasn’t enough. I feel like I’m never going to be good enough.”
Mr. Carter sat down next to David and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. He said, “David, writing is not just about winning competitions. It’s about expressing yourself and sharing your ideas. Sometimes, even the best writers don’t win. But that doesn’t mean they’re not good. It just means they need to keep trying and learning.”
With Mr. Carter’s encouragement, David began to analyze his writing. They discussed the strengths and weaknesses of his entry, and Mr. Carter offered valuable suggestions. David started to feel more confident and motivated. He realized that failure was just a part of the learning process.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Over the next few weeks, David threw himself back into his writing.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next school year brought another writing competition.

M: I think one of the main differences is that our teas are never mixed with other teas. If you are buying a particular tea from us, you can be sure that it came from one tea farm and one specific harvest.
W: What’s the advantage of drinking that kind of tea?
M: The flavors are much more pure. Also, when we buy our tea, we buy it directly from the growers. This allows us to get to know more about the growing process and the people who produce our tea.
W: How do your prices compare to those of other companies?
M: We’re a small company that focuses on selling small amounts of high‑quality tea. I guess what I’m trying to say is that there are good reasons why our prices might be a little higher.
W: Well, why not tell us a bit about the teas you have at the moment?

【原文】W: With the rapid growth in China’s cities, some architecture companies are trying to help the environment keep up. Some are even trying to find more ways to bring the urban population into contact with nature. MAD Architects is one of those companies that are trying to take green designs to a new level. The company believes in the importance of making buildings that can produce their own power and food. They believe the buildings should also recycle all of their waste. The new designs make people living and working in these buildings think about being outside. They feel like they’re reconnecting with the natural world, instead of being far apart from it. The company believes this way of thinking is very important for the future of urban living. One of MAD’s newest projects is called the Urban Forest, designed for the city of Chongqing. There will be offices, open spaces, balconies with trees, and many plants throughout. The project is inspired by the mountainous Chinese landscape and the traditional villages built on the hillsides. It will be an urban engineering wonder. Architects who are interested in working on the Urban Forest should apply at the MAD offices in Beijing, New York or Rome.

It started in a jeep, on an ordinary ride home from school. Sixth grader Harrison Burgess sat in the car, with his dad listening to news reports about the deadly wildfires in Los Angeles. His heart sank. But unlike most moments that passed in his daily life, this one stayed with him.
“I told my dad I wanted to do something to help,” Harrison recalled. “People had lost everything. I couldn’t just sit with that.”
Years earlier, Harrison’s father had lost his childhood home to a house fire. Harrison remembered hearing how the Red Cross had stepped in when everything was gone. “That story made it real for me,” Harrison said. “I wanted to help people in the same situation my dad had been in.”
Harrison approached the principal of his school, Steve Ruthford, and together they created a plan to raise funds for the Red Cross. Still, Harrison had to face his own fear. “I have stage fright,” he admitted. “But I stood in front of my classmates and talked about the fundraiser anyway. My teachers were there for support, and that helped.”
With posters, morning announcements, and a donation jar in the office, the campaign took off. Slowly, coins and bills poured in — each one a testament (证明) to the generosity of students, teachers, and families who believed in the cause.
“I was really surprised by how much we raised,” Harrison said. What mattered most to Harrison was that many people joined him. “I wasn’t the only one who helped,” he said. “My parents, friends, and teachers — so many people made this happen. It took a community to do big things.”
“I don’t really know my role in the world yet,” Harrison said. “But this helps me figure it out. I know I want to have a positive impact.” To the families who may receive the money, Harrison would simply say, “I’m glad we could help you in a tough time.”
24. How did Harrison feel when he heard about the wildfires?
A. Distant. B. Curious. C. Concerned. D. Scared.
25. Why did Harrison decide to launch the campaign?
A. He was moved by the survivors’ courage.
B. He was inspired by his father’s experience.
C. He was encouraged by his teachers’ support.
D. He was amazed by the Red Cross’s kindness to Steve.
26. What did Harrison want to emphasize about the campaign in paragraph 6?
A. It was promoted through combined efforts.
B. It required plenty of careful planning.
C. It erased public doubt about him.
D. It enabled people to honor him.
27. What can we learn from the story?
A. A hardship can shape one’s character.
B. A shared goal has a short-lived effect.
C. A brave choice can affect one’s future.
D. A small act can make a big difference.

After 20 years of careful preparation, the Grand Egyptian Museum has finally opened its door to the public. Located just outside Cairo and right next to the famous Giza Pyramids, the $1 billion museum has more than 50,000 valuable ancient Egyptian treasures — that’s a huge number for an ancient history museum.
Building work on the museum started in 2005, with many of its old treasures moved from the century-old Egyptian Museum in downtown Cairo.
In its entrance stands the statue of one of Egypt’s most famous pharaohs (法老), Ramesses the Great. The 3,200-year-old, 11-meter-tall statue used to stand in the center of a roundabout in front of Cairo’s main train station.
From the museum’s entrance, a six-story set of stairs goes up to the main display rooms and a view of the nearby pyramids, which can also be visited by crossing a bridge from the museum.
It opened on November 1, including two new halls for King Tutankhamun’s 5,000-piece collection. It’s the first time all these rare things have been shown together since his tomb was discovered in 1922. The old Egyptian Museum didn’t have enough space to show all the rare things at once.
Egypt’s government hopes the museum will draw more tourists: It welcomed a record 15.7 million visitors in 2024 and hopes for 30 million by 2032. Hassan Allam, the museum’s operator, expects 15,000 to 20,000 daily visitors. “The world has been waiting for this moment… Everyone’s exhilarated,” he said.
28. When did the building work on the Grand Egyptian Museum start?
A. In 1922. B. In 2005. C. In 2023. D. In 2024.
29. How are paragraphs 3&4 organized?
A. By following space order. B. By following time order.
C. By making a comparison. D. By listing numbers.
30. Why did the old museum fail to show all 5,000 Tutankhamun pieces together?
A. For its poor lighting. B. For the lack of money.
C. For security worries. D. For its limited room.
31. What does the underlined word “exhilarated” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Silent. B. Equal. C. Excited. D. Experienced.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【导语】主要介绍大埃及博物馆的建造历程、馆藏展品、场馆布局以及埃及政府对其旅游价值的期许。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Building work on the museum started in 2005 (这座博物馆的建造工程于2005年动工)”,可知开工时间为2005年。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“In its entrance stands the statue of one of Egypt’s most famous pharaohs(法老) (博物馆入口矗立着法老雕像)”以及第四段“From the museum’s entrance, a six-story set of stairs goes up to the main display rooms (从博物馆入口,一段六层楼梯通往主展厅)”,两段依照“入口→展厅”的空间方位进行介绍,属于空间顺序。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The old Egyptian Museum didn’t have enough space to show all the rare things at once. (旧埃及博物馆没有充足的空间一次性展出所有珍贵藏品。)”可知,无法全部展出的原因是场地空间有限。
【31题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“The world has been waiting for this moment… Everyone’s exhilarated (全世界都在期盼这一刻的到来,所有人都exhilarated)”,结合前文博物馆历经二十年筹备终于对外开放这件喜事,exhilarated表达兴奋、激动的含义,Excited与之匹配。

Nearly everyone in the world has heard of the Olympic Games, and many people are familiar with the Paralympic Games, but very few know about the equally important Transplant Games. Held every year, these games celebrate the courage of transplant recipients (接受者) and the selflessness of donors’ families.
According to a news release from the Sheffield City Council, the games — which the city will host in the summer of 2026 — are the main event for the Transplant Active charity, which aims to raise awareness of organ (器官) donation and inspire recipients to stay healthy and active.
A blog on Westfield Health’s website explains that over 7,000 people in Britain are waiting for organ transplants now. On average, about three people die every day while waiting, but one donor can save more than nine lives.
The lack of donors still exists even though Britain introduced an “opt-out” organ donation law (默认捐献制) in 2020 — everyone is a potential donor unless they say otherwise. However, it is their families that decide whether to donate their loved ones’ organs, and many people never talk with their families about their wishes.
That’s why the Transplant Games are so important. They draw attention to organ donation and show that recipients can live happy, full lives. Anyone healthy who attends at least one team training camp can join.
During the 2025 Games in Oxford, a five-year-old liver (肝) recipient took part in the obstacle race, the 25-meter sprint, and the ball throw. Another participant, who received a kidney at age 13 and is now 36, trains for the Games every year.
Then there is Jenny Glithero, who had an emergency liver transplant. Six months after learning to breathe again, she was back on a bike, training for the Games. She told Positive News, “Why do I do this? Because I’ve been given the gift of life. It is a way to honor my donor. Some people go to church. I get on the bike.”
32. What is the main purpose of the Transplant Games?
A. To honor outstanding athletes. B. To attract tourists to Sheffield.
C. To compete with the Olympics. D. To encourage organ donation.
33. What can we learn about organ donation in Britain?
A. Its law works perfectly. B. Donors’ choices are final.
C. Few patients need transplants. D. Demand is greater than supply.
34. What can be inferred from the examples in paragraphs 6 and 7?
A. Recipients rebuild life actively. B. Organ failure affects all age groups.
C. Athletes must be young and energetic. D. Sports games require professional skills.
35. What is the main focus of the text?
A. The importance of Transplant Games. B. The popularity of international games.
C. The development of British sports laws. D. The new method to solve organ shortage.
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. A 35. A
【解析】
【导语】主要介绍器官移植运动会的举办目的、英国器官捐献现状,并用实例说明赛事对器官移植者的积极意义。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“According to a news release from the Sheffield City Council, the games — which the city will host in the summer of 2026 — are the main event for the Transplant Active charity, which aims to raise awareness of organ (器官) donation and inspire recipients to stay healthy and active.(据谢菲尔德市议会发布的新闻通告,该市将于2026年夏季承办的这项赛事是移植活力慈善机构的核心活动,该机构旨在提升器官捐献的公众认知,并激励器官移植受捐者保持健康、积极的生活状态。)”可知,移植运动会的主要目的是倡导器官捐献。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“A blog on Westfield Health’s website explains that over 7,000 people in Britain are waiting for organ transplants now. On average, about three people die every day while waiting, but one donor can save more than nine lives.(韦斯特菲尔德健康保险公司官网的一篇博文介绍:英国目前有七千余人等待器官移植。平均每天约有三人在等候期间离世,而一名器官捐献者能够挽救九条以上生命。)”可知,英国器官需求远大于捐献供给。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中的“During the 2025 Games in Oxford, a five-year-old liver (肝) recipient took part in the obstacle race, the 25-meter sprint, and the ball throw.(2025年牛津赛事中,一名五岁肝移植患儿参与障碍赛、短跑和投球项目。)”以及第七段中的“Six months after learning to breathe again, she was back on a bike, training for the Games.(珍妮术后六个月就骑车备战赛事。)”可知,器官移植受捐者积极重塑新生活。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其第五段中的“That’s why the Transplant Games are so important. They draw attention to organ donation and show that recipients can live happy, full lives.(这正是移植运动会的重要意义:它提升器官捐献关注度,展现受捐者能够拥有圆满人生。)”可知,文章围绕移植运动会的重要作用展开论述。
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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We use words to communicate our thoughts, but sometimes our non-verbal language speaks louder than words. Body language includes facial expressions, gestures, and postures. ____36____ For instance, a warm smile can build trust, while maintaining eye contact shows attentiveness and sincerity.
However, the meanings of body language can vary greatly across different cultures. ____37____ A gesture that is polite in one country might be offensive in another. The “thumbs-up” gesture, for example, is a sign of agreement in many places, but it is considered rude in some parts of the Middle East.
Being aware of your own body language is the first step to use it effectively. Good posture shows confidence, and leaning slightly forward shows you are engaged in the conversation. ____38____ It shows respect and interest in what the other person is saying.
Similarly, understanding others’ body language can help you understand their true feelings. ____39____ If a friend says they are not angry but their jaw is tight and their arms are crossed, you might want to talk to them about what’s really wrong.
____40____ By paying close attention to non-verbal cues, you can avoid misunderstandings and connect with others on a deeper level.
So, the next time you are in a conversation, remember to not only listen to the words but also to watch the body.
A. Nodding during a conversation is another positive sign.
B. Therefore, it is crucial to learn about these differences.
C. Mastering this skill will make you a better communicator.
D. It is absolutely a powerful tool in our daily communication.
E. Learning about body language is very important for travellers.

【答案】36. D 37. B 38. A 39. F 40. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要阐述了肢体语言的作用以及如何正确利用肢体语言有效交际。
【36题详解】
根据前文“We use words to communicate our thoughts, but sometimes our non-verbal language speaks louder than words. Body language includes facial expressions, gestures, and postures.(我们用语言来交流我们的思想,但有时我们的非语言行为比语言更有说服力。肢体语言包括面部表情、手势和姿势)”以及后文“For instance, a warm smile can build trust, while maintaining eye contact shows attentiveness and sincerity.(例如,一个温暖的微笑可以建立信任,而保持目光接触显示关注和真诚)”可知,D项“It is absolutely a powerful tool in our daily communication.(在我们的日常交流中,它绝对是一个强大的工具)”既承接了前文对身体语言的介绍,又为后文的具体例子提供了总起,起到了承上启下的作用。故选D项。
【37题详解】
根据前文“However, the meanings of body language can vary greatly across different cultures.(然而,在不同的文化中,肢体语言的含义会有很大的不同)”以及后文“A gesture that is polite in one country might be offensive in another. The “thumbs-up” gesture, for example, is a sign of agreement in many places, but it is considered rude in some parts of the Middle East.(一个在一个国家被认为是礼貌的手势在另一个国家可能是无礼的。例如,“竖起大拇指”的手势在许多地方是表示同意的标志,但在中东的一些地区却被认为是粗鲁的)”可知,B项“Therefore, it is crucial to learn about these differences.(因此,了解这些差异是至关重要的)”和上文构成因果关系,自然承接上文的文化差异问题,并引出学习这些差异的必要性。故选B项。
【38题详解】
根据前文“Being aware of your own body language is the first step to use it effectively. Good posture shows confidence, and leaning slightly forward shows you are engaged in the conversation.(意识到自己的肢体语言是有效使用它的第一步。良好的姿势表现出自信,身体微微前倾表明你在参与谈话)”可知,本段主要讲述如何使用肢体语言,所以A项“Nodding during a conversation is another positive sign.(在谈话中点头是另一个积极的信号)”是对前文内容的另一举例,并引出后文“It shows respect and interest in what the other person is saying.(它显示了你对别人所说的话的尊重和兴趣)”,本句是对空处的解释说明。故选A项。
【39题详解】
根据前文“Similarly, understanding others’ body language can help you understand their true feelings.(同样,了解他人的肢体语言可以帮助你了解他们的真实感受)”以及后文“If a friend says they are not angry but their jaw is tight and their arms are crossed, you might want to talk to them about what’s really wrong.(如果一个朋友说他们没有生气,但他们的下巴紧绷,双臂交叉,你可能想和他们谈谈到底是怎么回事)”可知,前文强调理解他人身体语言有助于了解真实感受,后文通过具体例子说明言语与身体语言可能不一致。所以F项“It often tells you more about how someone feels than their words do.(它通常比语言更能告诉你一个人的感受)”准确概括了身体语言在揭示真实情感方面的优势,与后文例子呼应。故选F项。
【40题详解】
根据后文“By paying close attention to non-verbal cues, you can avoid misunderstandings and connect with others on a deeper level.(通过密切关注非语言暗示,你可以避免误解,并在更深层次上与他人建立联系)”可知,此处具体阐述通过注意非语言线索避免误会并促进更深层面的交流,所以C项“Mastering this skill will make you a better communicator.(掌握这个技巧会让你成为一个更好的沟通者)”作为段落主题句,既总结了前文内容,又自然引出后文的具体益处,起到很好的承上启下作用。故选C项。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
David loved writing. When the school announced an English writing competition, David was eager to participate. He worked hard on his entry, believing it was his chance to prove himself. However, when the results were announced, David’s name wasn’t there. He felt a deep sense of disappointment and frustration, as if all his hard work had been in vain.
After the competition, David felt too embarrassed to talk about his failure. He spent days in his room, avoiding everyone. His former imagination seemed to have dried up, and he couldn’t find the motivation to write anymore. It felt like a part of him had been destroyed.
One afternoon, as David sat in his room, his English teacher, Mr. Carter, came to visit. Mr. Carter was a kind and encouraging teacher who had always believed in David's potential. He had noticed David’s absence in class and decided to check in on him.
“Hey, David,” Mr. Carter said gently. “I heard about the competition. I’m really sorry you didn’t win, but I know how much effort you put into it. You should be proud of yourself for trying.” David looked down, feeling defeated. “I just don’t get it, Mr. Carter,” he said quietly. “I worked so hard, but it wasn’t enough. I feel like I’m never going to be good enough.”
Mr. Carter sat down next to David and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. He said, “David, writing is not just about winning competitions. It’s about expressing yourself and sharing your ideas. Sometimes, even the best writers don’t win. But that doesn’t mean they’re not good. It just means they need to keep trying and learning.”
With Mr. Carter’s encouragement, David began to analyze his writing. They discussed the strengths and weaknesses of his entry, and Mr. Carter offered valuable suggestions. David started to feel more confident and motivated. He realized that failure was just a part of the learning process.

1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next school year brought another writing competition.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Over the next few weeks, David threw himself back into his writing. He practiced every day, incorporating Mr. Carter’s advice. He wrote essays, short stories, and even poetry, constantly pushing himself to improve. Slowly but surely, his confidence grew, and he began to enjoy writing again. He found that the more he wrote, the more ideas flowed through his mind. Each word he put on paper felt like a small victory, and he started to see his writing in a new light. He realized that the joy of writing wasn’t just in winning competitions, but in the process of creation itself.
The next school year brought another writing competition. This time, David was determined to give it his best shot. He submitted an essay that he had worked on for weeks, feeling more prepared and hopeful than ever before. When the results were announced, David’s heart raced with anticipation. To his delight, his name was called as one of the winners. He couldn’t believe it — he had done it! All the hard work and perseverance had paid off. David knew that this victory was not just his own; it was evidence for the power of believing in oneself and never giving up.
