no drinking water, showers or electricity.
Campsite Fees
$35 a night for up to 5 people;
$7 for each additional person (Max: 10);
Children under 12 years old camp for free.
Campsite Descriptions
Site 1: This site has two areas, an upper and a lower, each with a stone fire ring and a picnic table. The upper area is
flat and far enough away from the river. The lower area is right on the river and floods frequently. Put your tent in either
spot.

David Thompson sat on a hard bench behind the long narrow desk and watched the flies fly lazily in the sun. The
drone of the younger boys reading letters and the older boys reciting Latin verbs made him sleepy. David had to force his
eyes to stay open. He wanted to learn something new
He looked up at the schoolmaster's high desk in the front of the room. The new teacher, Mr. John Adam, was from
Harvard College. David's father had been impressed with him. The boys had already had several other teachers, but none
of them seemed to inspire David. So far, there was nothing to show that this one was special, though he'd only been there
two days.
“It's too hot to sit and memorize lessons,” the schoolmaster said. “We' ll move outdoors for the next part of our
lesson.” He led the group of boys into the schoolyard.“You younger boys, dig for grubs and beetles(幼虫和甲虫). Count
their feet. See if you can describe their shells(壳).”
David watched the teacher surrounded by laughing young students. No one had ever used the schoolyard itself for a
classroom. “What next?” he thought. Soon he didn't have time to think about the younger boys, for he was running afterbutterflies and dragonflies himself.
David and his friends liked this new way of learning.
“It will be a clear night tonight. Go outside and look at the sky,” said the schoolmaster. “Look at the stars ad notice
their brightness and the patterns they make. These patterns have names from Greek mythology(神话), names like Orion,
Aries, and others. Tomorrow we will learn about the ancient stories on them.”
“How is the new schoolmaster?” asked David's father that evening, when David announced he was going out to look
at the sky.
“He's different from any schoolmaster we' ve had,” David admitted. “He seems interested in everything around him,
and he wants us to be curious too. He even used the schoolyard as a classroom”
“So Mr. John Adams and his new ways make school useful to you after all,” joked David's father.
“I believe he has,” said David. “I know I won't forget the lessons he has taught us”
24. What does the underlined word “drone” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Clear speaking voices. B. Low dull sounds.
C. Enthusiastic responses. D. High spirits.
25. Which statement shows that the new schoolmaster understood the children?
A.“It's too hot to sit and memorize lessons…”
B.“See if you can describe their shells…”
C.“Go outside and look at the sky…”
D.“Tomorrow we will learn about the ancient stories…”
26. From paragraph 9, we can learn that .
A. David's father had met the new schoolmaster
B. David had thought poorly of school before
C. David's father was not satisfied with the new ways
D. David had shown his father his homework
27. What is the main idea of this story?
A. Science is all around us.
B. School provides us with the best education.
C. There is more than one way to learn.
D. Homework is an important part of education.
C
My brother once said, “I’d love for us all to live together, but it's just not practical. “This reflects a Western way of
thinking that values independence over living with family. However, as housing costs rise and families face elder care
challenges, this way of thinking is changing. Living with several generations—— common in places like China—— is
becoming popular in the UK.
Recent reports showed that 1.8 million UK households now include two or more adult generations. Census(人口普
查) data showed that 71 percent of Britons would consider it in the future. Money is a big reason: The cost-of-living crisis
makes sharing rent, utilities(水电费) and groceries practical. For aging parents, avoiding expensive care facilities lowers
financial pressure. However, focusing only on money misses the deeper benefits.
Living together isn't just about sharing bills; it's about sharing lives. It creates support systems: Grandparents look
after children, adults help with chores and teens learn patience and care from elders. In a society facing loneliness,especially among seniors, being close allows daily contact that phone calls can't replace. My brother's wish for a “big
house “wasn’t only old memories—— it showed that separated families often miss these moments.
Of course, there are challenges. Privacy concerns, different routines and small spaces require give-and-take(互相谦
让). But modern design, from granny flats to shared common areas, can help. The key is to set boundaries while respecting
each other.
Some people say living with several generations feels like going backward. I see it as progress: using tradition to
solve modern problems. China's model worked not because of duty, but because it understood that family members need
each other. As we rethink aging, childcare and housing costs in the West, combining households offers more than just
saving money—— it can bring back the sense of community we' ve lost.
Living with several generations isn't for everyone, but calling it“ impractical” ignores its potential. It is a caring
response to today's pressures, one that turns “my burden(负担)” into “our shared life”. Let's stop seeing it as a sacrifice
and start valuing it as a choice worth considering.
28. What does the author suggest about the Western view of family life?
A. It prefers wealth to relationships.
B. It sees independence as important.
C. It values privacy more than support.
D. It ignores tradition in modern times.
29. What deeper role of multi-generational living does the author highlight?
A. It strengthens family connections.
B. It encourages respect for traditions.
C. It prepares children for adulthood.
D. It reduces dependence on society.
30. Why does the author mention China's model of living?
A. To criticize Western values.
B. To provide a cultural difference.
C. To show a successful example.
D. To defend traditional duties.
31. What does the author consider multi-generational living?
A. It is modern yet imperfect.
B. It is practical yet a short-term fix.
C. It is outdated but unavoidable.
D. It is challenging but helpful.
D
What did you have for breakfast today? And how did you celebrate your last birthday? When you think back to these
events, you' re using episodeic memory(情景记忆)—— the ability to recall personal experiences tied to specific times
and places. But how does your brain keep these memories separate without mixing them up?
Scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles, in the US believe this is thanks to a “memory reset button” in
our brainstem(脑干). This small region, called the locus coeruleus(蓝斑核), helps organize and separate our memories.In the study, 36 volunteers took part in a memory task. Lying in an MRI scanner(核磁共振扫描仪), they were shown
a series of pictures of different objects. Meanwhile, several simple tones were played over and over again, first in one ear
and then in the other with a different pitch(音调). The pitch change aimed to change the context(情境) and create an event
boundary.
According to a previous study by Kansas State University in the US, event boundaries help the brain organize
episodeic memory by changing our perception(感知) and attention. Ever walked into a room and suddenly forgot why?
That's an event boundary—— entering or exiting a room—— at work.
After the experiment, scientists tested how well the volunteers could recall the order of the pictures. The result
showed that it was harder to do when the series of pictures crossed an event boundary. This suggests that changes in sound
made the brain store memories separately. What's more, MRI scans showed that the locus coeruleus became highly active
when event boundaries appeared, but not so much otherwise.
Earlier research showed that the hippocampus(海马体), another brain region, helps shape episodeic memory by both
linking events close together in time and separating those further apart. But what tells the hippocampus when to change
modes? MRI scans suggest that “the locus coeruleus may provide the critical‘ start’ signal to the hippocampus, as if
saying,' Hey, we' re in a new event now’,” said Lila Davachi, one of the researchers.
The new understanding could lead to better treatments for memory-related problems like Alzheimer's disease, where
the locus coeruleus is overactive. These conditions might be managed by calming the locus coeruleus through medication,
slow breathing or even using stress balls.
32. How does the author introduce the research in the beginning?
A. By sharing experiences. B. By raising questions.
C. By imagining scenes. D. By explaining a theory.
33. What was the purpose of playing tones with different pitches in the experiment?
A. To create real-life situations. B. To test volunteers’ hearing ability.
C. To mark a shift to a new context. D. To increase the difficulty of the task.
34. What did the MRI scans reveal about the locus coeruleus during the experiment?
A. It showed higher activity at event boundaries.
B. It sent signals to the hippocampus regularly.
C. It controlled volunteers’ memory recall order.
D. It helped link pictures to specific sounds.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The difficulty of treating memory-related disease.
B. The potential applications of the research findings.
C. The drawbacks of the small-scale experiment.
D. The future research directions for memory.
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。
Improve your attention span
May I have your attention, please? I' ll try and be quick, as I probably only have about47 seconds before your mind
starts wandering(走神). That, according to psychologist Dr Gloria Mark, is now our average attention span(注意力持续时间), based on her latest study of people's use of screens in the workplace. Of course, this figure have its limits. As other
psychologists have argued your concentration can vary so much, the very idea of an “average" attention span is almost
meaningless. 36 .
Nevertheless, it's likely your attention span is decreasing. As one recent survey suggests, nearly half the population
nowadays feels as if theirs is worse than it was. 37 .
Of course, we can silence our phone notifications(通知) and put on noise- canceling headphones. 38 .
Unknowingly, you' re“interrupting” yourself all day long, according to Mark. Even while reading this, you may have
gotten the sudden desire to look something up online, check your emails or do something else. “It’s something we do
without realizing, “said Mark.
39 . Lining up your most mentally taxing tasks with your natural peaks(顶峰) of focus is key to concentration,
says Mark. Her research has found that, on average, these high points occur around 10 a. m. in the morning and around
2-3 p. m. in the afternoon. 40 , depending on whether you' re more of a morning person or a night person. “If a person
is an early type, their peak focus would be earlier—— before 10 a. m.,” explains Mark. “And if they' re a late type, their
peak focus will be later.”
A. There are differences around these times
B. Don't expect to always be focused and productive
C. One solution to this is to pay attention to your body clock
D. Because of this, there isn't even scientific agreement on how to measure focus
E. With the ever-present pull of our emails and social media, it's easy to see why
F. However, even when we' ve done all that, there's still the enemy within to deal with
G. While we don't all have the same attention span, truly paying attention to something is universal

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。
Ella’ s mother had always been a quiet woman. Since Ella’ s father left them ten years ago, she had worked hard
alone, sewing clothes for others to make a living. Their small home was often silent, filled with the unspoken words that
hang between two people who love each other but don't know how to say it. The only thing that never changed was the
neatly mended(修补) school uniform on Ella's bed each night, and her mother's soft words, “Don’t stay up too late.”
One Sunday, while looking for an extra blanket in the attic(阁楼), Ella found an old wooden box. Driven by curiosity,
she found the key hidden beneath it and managed to open it. Inside, she saw a beautiful white ballet dress and a pair of
special ballet shoes. Under them was an old ticket for a dance show called Swan Lake, and a photo of her young mother,
poised gracefully at the barre(扶手杠) in a dance studio, her face full of a joy and passion Ella had never seen before.
That evening, as they ate their dinner in silence, Ella found the courage to speak. “Mom,” she said carefully, “I found
a box in the attic today... with a ballet dress.” Her mother stopped eating. She looked down at her own work-worn hands.
“That was a long time ago,” she murmured. After a pause, she added, “I had to stop when the dance school became too
expensive.” The deep regret in her voice made Ella’ s heart hurt.
The next day, Ella went online and found “Madame Rosalie’ s Dance Studio”—a small but well-known place not far
from her home. Madame Rosalie, a kind-eyed lady, listened to Ella’ s story. She then made an offer. “You can help me
with the young children and look after the dance clothes after school for a month,” she said. “In return, I’ ll give you a
voucher(凭证) for the dance lessons.”
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。

【语篇导读】本文主要介绍了在詹姆斯河附近露营的相关情况,其中包括露营的费用以及露营场地提供的服务。
文章还对四个露营地点进行了简单的介绍。
21. D。细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知,露营场地不提供饮用水、淋浴器以及电,所以游客要携带饮用
水,但不需要携带洗澡用品和充电器;此外,露营场地有垃圾箱,所以不需要携带太多的垃圾袋。故选
D。
22. C。细节理解题。根据 Campsite Fees部分可知,露营场地的费用是5个人以内35美元一夜,12岁以下的儿
童不收费,所以两对夫妇带两个10岁的孩子住两晚需要支付70美元。故选C。
23. D。细节理解题。根据 Site 3的最后一句和 Site 4的最后一句可知,这两个露营地点都适合钓鱼。故选D。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了新教师用其独特的教学方法重新点燃了原本厌学的 David的学习
兴趣的故事。
24. B。词义猜测题。文章第一段提到 David的学习兴致不高,所描述的场景也跟他的心情一样,由画线词所在
句的“made him sleepy”可推知,那些背诵读书的嗡嗡声让 David 昏昏欲睡。故选 B。
25. A。细节理解题。根据文章提到的新教师的教学方法给 David带来的变化可知,校长了解学生们厌烦了日复
一日的常规教学,而A项准确地说明了教师对学生心情的了解。故选A。
26. B。推理判断题。由上文 David学习兴致不高以及放学回家后对新教师的好评可推知,在新教师到来之前,
David 此前一直对学校的评价不高。故选 B。
27. C。主旨大意题。文章主要讲了 JohnAdams 当教师时让学生们摆脱了单调无聊的常规学习方法,给学生们
带来全新的学习体验。故选 C。
【语篇导读】该文阐述了在英国曾因西方重视独立观念而不被看好的多代同堂,如今因生活成本、养老等问题
兴起,有较多家庭已实践或考虑实践。
28. B。细节理解题。根据第一段中的“This reflects a Western way of thinking that values independence overliving
with family.(这反映了西方的思维方式————重视独立而非与家人同住。)”可知,西方人认为独立是非常重
要的, “see… as important”是“values… over…(优先重视)”的同义体现。故选 B。
29. A。推理判断题。第三段是对“更深层益处(deeper benefits)”的集中阐述:①“Living together isn't justabout
sharing bills; it's about sharing lives.(同住不只是分摊账单,更是共享生活。)”;②“It creates supportsystems:
Grandparents look after children… teens learn patience and care from elders.(它形成支持体系:祖父母照顾孩子……
青少年从长辈处学习耐心与关怀。)”;③“being close allows daily contact that phone callscan't replace(亲密相处
的日常联系是电话无法替代的)”。“共享生活”“代际互助”“日常联系”均指向“家庭联结(family
connections)”的强化,是“更深层作用”的核心。故选 A。
30. C。推理判断题。由第五段中的“China’ s model worked not because of duty, but because it understood thatfamily
members need each other. As we rethink aging, childcare and housing costs in the West,combining households offers
more than just saving money—— it can bring back the sense of communitywe’ ve lost.(中国模式有效,并非因为
责任,而是因为它理解家人彼此需要;当西方社会重新思考养老、育儿和住房成本时,同住不仅省钱,还
能找回失去的共同体意识。)”可知,“China’s model worked”表明该模式已被实践证明能满足家庭成员需求。
作者提及中国模式,是为了用这个“已被证明可行的案例”,支撑“多代同堂能解决西方当下养老、育儿
住房成本等问题”的观点,属于“提供成功范例”。故选 C。
31. D。推理判断题。作者对多代同堂的态度分两方面:①挑战(第四段):“Privacy concerns, different routinesand
small spaces require give-and-take(隐私顾虑、作息差异、空间狭小需要互相谦让)”,即“challenging”;②价值(第三、五、六段):“加强家庭联结、缓解孤独、找回共同体意识、将‘个人负担’变为‘共同生活’”,
即“helpful(有益的)”。故选 D。
【语篇导读】文章围绕“大脑如何区分情景记忆”展开,介绍美国加州大学洛杉矶分校科学家的研究:发现脑
干中的蓝斑核如同“记忆重置按钮”,能借助事件边界(如音调变化)帮助组织和分离情景记忆,且这一发现或
为阿尔茨海默病等记忆相关问题提供更好的治疗思路。
32.B。细节理解题。根据文章开头部分可知,作者以“What did you have for breakfast today? And how didyou
celebrate your last birthday?”两个问题引出“情景记忆”的概念,再通过核心问题“But how does yourbrain
keep these memories separate without mixing them up?”引出后续的研究内容。故选 B。
33.C。细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The pitch change aimed to change the context(情境) and create anevent
boundary.(音调变化的目的是改变情境并创造一个事件边界。)”可知,“change the context”与C选项的“shift
to a new context”表述一致,符合实验设计中音调变化的目的。故选 C。
34.A。细节理解题。由第五段中的“MRI scans showed that the locus coeruleus became highly active whenevent
boundaries appeared, but not so much otherwise(核磁共振扫描显示,当事件边界出现时,蓝斑核活跃度显著升
高,反之则不高)”可知,蓝斑核活跃度在事件边界时活跃度更高。故选A。
35.B。主旨大意题。最后一段开头指出“The new understanding could lead to better treatments for memory-related
problems like Alzheimer's disease(这一新认知可能为阿尔茨海默病等记忆相关问题带来更好的治疗方法)”,随
后具体说明“可通过药物、缓慢呼吸甚至减压球来平复蓝斑核”。整体围绕“研究发现的潜在应用(治疗记
忆疾病)”展开。B选项“研究发现的潜在应用(The potential applications of the research findings)”符合段落中
“为治疗记忆疾病提供思路”的核心内容。故选 B。
36.D。前文提到“其他心理学家认为,注意力集中度差异很大,‘平均注意力持续时间’这一概念几乎无意
义”,空后需承接“注意力差异大”带来的结果。选项 D“正因为如此,就连如何衡量注意力,科学界也没
有统一意见”中,“Because of this”直接呼应前文“注意力差异大、平均概念无意义”的逻辑,说明因个体
差异大,导致衡量标准无法统一,衔接自然。故选 D。
37.E。前文指出“近一半人觉得自己的注意力比以前差”,空处需解释“注意力下降”的原因。选项E“由于邮
件和社交媒体始终在吸引我们的注意力,原因便显而易见了”,用“ever-present pull of emails and social
media”明确指出现代数字环境对注意力的干扰,恰好回答了“为什么注意力会变差”这个问题,符合上下文
因果逻辑。故选E。
38.F。前文提到“我们可以关闭手机通知、戴降噪耳机”(即采取应对外部干扰的措施),空后转折“不知不觉
中,你一整天都在‘自我干扰’”,说明外部措施无法解决内部问题。选项 F“然而,即便我们做了所有这
些(外部措施),仍有‘内在敌人’需要应对”,“even when we' ve done all that”承接前文的外部措施,“enemy
within”引出后文的“自我干扰”,形成“外部措施→转折→内部问题”的衔接,逻辑连贯。故选 F。
39.C。空后内容为“将最费脑力的任务与自然专注高峰期匹配,是集中注意力的关键”,并提到“专注高峰期
在上午10点左右和下午2-3点左右”,核心是“利用身体自然的专注节奏”。选项C“解决这个问题的一个
方法是关注你的生物钟”中,“this”指代前文的“注意力易分散、自我干扰”,“body clock(生物钟)”直接对应
后文的“natural peaks of focus(自然专注高峰期)”,起到总领下文的作用。故选 C。
40.A。前文明确“平均专注高峰期在上午 10点和下午2-3点”,空后补充“取决于你是晨型人还是夜型人
————晨型人高峰期更早,夜型人更晚”,核心是“专注高峰期存在个体差异”。选项A“这些时间点存
在差异”中,“these times”指代前文的“10a.m.”“2-3 p.m.”,“differences(差异)”对应后文的“morning person/
nightperson”带来的时间不同,衔接紧密。故选 A。
41.D。A.更强壮的; B.更勇敢的; C.更聪明的; D.更年轻的。由前半句“She's in her late teens(她十八九岁)”和后半
句“than me”和作者提到自己参与音乐剧多年(foryears)可知,此处是“我”与女孩的年龄对比,十八九岁的
女孩比“我”更年轻。故选 D。
42.C。A.观众; B.表演者; C.新手; D.专家。前半句指出“I' ve been involved in musical theater for years(我参与音乐
剧多年)”,while 表转折,说明女孩与“我”的“资深”状态相反;后文又提到“Whenever she sought
advice(她经常寻求建议)”,进一步体现她在音乐剧领域缺乏经验,是“新手”。故选C。
43. A。A.愿意的,准备好的; B.空闲的; C.害怕的; D.忧虑的,渴望的。结合后文“我”主动帮助女孩的行为,以
及“Whenever she sought advice”的语境可知,“我”是“愿意提供指导”的,“be ready to do sth.”表示“愿意做某
事”,符合语境,故选 A。
44. B。A.紧张的; B.热情的; C.谨慎的; D.关心的。后文提到女孩想上声乐课、追求音乐剧梦想,说明她对音乐剧
“充满热情”,“be passionate about”是固定搭配,意为“对……充满热情”; A选项“nervous(紧张的)”、C选
项“cautious(谨慎的)”、D选项“concerned(关心的)”均无法体现女孩对音乐剧的热爱。故选B。45. A。A.犹豫; B.负担得起; C.发生; D.提供。前半句提到“she came from a low-income family(她来自低收入家
庭)”,结合常识,低收入家庭通常“负担不起”额外课程的费用。“couldn't afford to do sth.”表示“负担不起
做某事”,符合语境。故选 B。
46. A。A.苦乐参半的; B.令人大为惊奇的; C.最新的; D.有趣的。后文提到女孩“喜欢试听课”但“没钱继续上”
既有“喜欢”的“乐”,也有“无法继续”的“苦”,符合“bittersweet(苦乐参半的)”的含义,其他选项无
法概括“喜欢却不能继续”的复杂情绪。故选 A。
47. A。A.参加(课程等);B.错过;C.通过(考试等);D.不参加。后文提到“she loved it(她很喜欢)”,说明她“上了试听
课”,“take a class”是固定搭配,意为“上课”;“B选项“ missed(错过)”与“loved it”矛盾; C选项“passed(通
过)”通常指通过考试,不用于“试听课”; D选项“skip a class(旷课)”,语境不符。故选 A。
48. D。A.平衡; B.提高; C.判断; D.继续。前文提到女孩“上了试听课且很喜欢”,后文转折指出“得兼职攒够钱
(until she saved enough)”,隐含“当前无法接着上后续课程”的逻辑,“couldn't continue”即“无法继续(上课)”,符
合语境。故选 D。
49. B。A.充分利用; B.帮忙处理; C.赶上; D.呈现,具有。前半句提到“her family needed her(家人需要她)”,结合
“low-income family(低收入家庭)”的背景可知,家人需要她“帮忙处理账单”,“help out with sth.”表示“帮忙
做某事”,符合语境。故选 B。
50.C。A.梦想; B.选择; C.机会; D.荣誉。此处指代“上声乐课”这件事,女孩喜欢但没钱继续,说明这是她想抓
住却难以获得的“机会”; A选项“dream(梦想)”范围过大,此处特指“上声乐课”的具体机会; B选项
“choice(选择)”侧重“主动挑选”,而女孩是“想上却不能上”,并非“选择”问题; D选项“honor(荣誉)”
与语境无关。故选C。
51. A。A.慷慨地; B.自然地; C.不情愿地; D.深深地。“我”和朋友商量后,朋友“同意降低学费”,这是一种慷慨
大方的行为,“generously(慷慨地)”符合语境。故选 A。
52. D。A.允许; B.承诺; C.强迫; D.请求。“我”想让舞台经理帮忙送信封,且后文提到“without revealing whoit's
from(不透露寄件人)”,说明这是“请求”,“ask sb. to do sth.”表示“请求某人做某事”,符合语境。故选D。
53. B。A.正式地; B.私下地; C.严肃地; D.仔细地。“我”要求不透露身份,说明希望以“私下”的方式送信封,
避免让女孩知道是谁帮忙。“privately(私下地)”符合“隐藏身份”的需求。故选B。
54.C。A.骄傲; B.平静; C.惊讶; D.尴尬。女孩不知道信封是“我”送的,也没想到会有代金券,所以发现礼物时
应该会感到“惊讶”,同时结合“joy(喜悦)”,“surprise(惊讶)”符合“意外收到帮助”的情绪。故选C。
55.C。A.安慰; B.挑战; C.满足感; D.教训。前文描述“我”帮助女孩后,即使没看到她的反应也很开心,结尾总结
“不求认可地帮助别人”带来的感受,这种感受应是“满足感”; A 选项“comfort(安慰)”、B 选项
“challenge(挑战)”、D选项“lesson(教训)”均无法概括“帮助他人后的积极感受”。故选 C。
56. talked。考查动词的时态。根据上下文语境可知,“今天我和 Tim 聊了很多他的问题”,描述的是发生在过去
的动作,因此用一般过去时。故填 talked。
57. qualities。考查名词的单复数。空格前有“the following(以下的)”,空后接谓语动词 form(说明主语为复数),因
此 quality 需用复数形式。故填 qualities。
58. balancing。考查非谓语动词。“have trouble (in) doing sth.”为固定结构,意为“做某事有困难”, in 可省略,
因此用动名词形式。故填 balancing。
59. to get。考查非谓语动词。此处表示鼓励他采取行动的目的是克服困难,用不定式 to do 作目的状语。故填to
get。
60. whom/ who/ that。考查定语从句。先行词为 someone(指人),且先行词在定语从句中作宾语[“I should trymy
best to help (someone)”]。故填 whom/ who/ that。
61. efficient。考查形容词。空格后为名词 learner,需用形容词修饰, efficiency(名词,效率)的形容词形式为
efficient。故填 efficient。
62.but。考查并列连词。前句“这会占用我的业余时间”与后句“这份友谊值得额外的时间和努力”为转折关
系。故填 but。
63.the。考查冠词。“bring out the best in sb.”为固定搭配,意为“激发某人最好的一面”,形容词最高级前需
加定冠词the。故填 the。
64. Fortunately。考查副词。此处修饰整个句子“Tim is such a friend”,需用副词, fortunate(形容词)的副词形式为
fortunately,句首首字母大写。故填 Fortunately。
65. than。考查介词。句中“stronger”为形容词比较级,比较级后需用 than引出比较对象,“stronger than
ever”意为“比以往任何时候都更牢固”。故填 than。
66. regular
67. apologize68. from their point of view
69. smooth out
70. Of equal importance are

【参考范文】
Dear Sarah,
Sorry to hear that you' re having trouble getting along with your parents lately. It's totally normal to have
disagreements with your parents about managing your study and leisure time.
Here are a couple of suggestions that might help. First, have a calm talk with your parents. Instead of arguing angrily,
choose a quiet moment to share your feelings. Tell them you understand their concern about your study, and also explain
your need for proper relaxation. Also, a practical approach would be to create a well-balanced schedule together. By
jointly planning out time for homework, hobbies, and rest, you can build mutual trust and ensure everyone is on the same
page.
I believe your parents love you deeply, and things will get better soon. I'm always here for you.
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节
【参考范文】
For the next month, Ella was busy with school, homework, and the dance studio. Every day after school, she would
rush to the studio, helping the little children learn their steps and carefully fixing the beautiful dance dresses. Her fingers
often hurt from all the sewing, and she was always tired. But through it all, she held onto one clear hope: to see that old
passion return to her mother's eyes, and to see her stand straight and happy again. On the last day, Madame Rosalie gave
her the voucher for the lessons.“You' ve earned this,” she said kindly. Ella's hands shook as she held it, her eyes filled with
thankful tears.
On her mother's birthday, Ella woke up very early to get her surprise ready. She brought her mother to the quiet,
empty dance studio. When her mother walked in and saw the less on voucher placed on the barre,her eyes widening in
surprise. Then, her work-worn fingers reached out and softly touched the smooth wood of the barre, as if touching a
beautiful dream from long ago.“Happy Birthday, Mom. It's your time to dance again,” Ella whispered. Tears filled her
mother's eyes as she held Ella close.“Thank you for remembering my dream,” she said, her voice full of emotion. As her
mother rose into a dancer's pose, Ella saw not just the girl from the photo, but a woman renewed. The silence between
them was finally filled with a shared understanding.
1.续写主题:通过 Ella的艰辛付出和母亲的深情回应,展现爱与牺牲、理解与传承的主题。
2.核心情节:
第一段: Ella为获得舞蹈课程凭证而辛苦工作,并最终如愿以偿。
第二段:Ella在母亲生日时送上惊喜,母亲深受触动,重拾舞蹈,母女关系得到深刻升华。
3.情感升华:Ella的礼物让母亲感受到被看见、被铭记的爱,也让 Ella理解了母亲沉默的牺牲。最终,母亲的
梦想以另一种形式在女儿身上得到了延续。
4.分段情节与扣分项:
第一段(Para.1):情节必须体现 Ella在兼顾学业的同时,如何在舞蹈工作室辛勤工作,并描写她身体上的疲
惫与精神上的坚持。如果只写到“她很忙”而缺乏具体的艰辛细节和内心动力,酌情扣分。
第二段(Para.2):情节需围绕“生日惊喜”展开,包括母亲看到凭证时的震惊、触摸扶手杠的触景生情、母
女间的对话与拥抱,以及母亲最终做出的舞蹈姿态。
5.高分关键点(21-25分):
保持人设一致性:Ella的形象应是一个懂事、坚韧、深爱母亲的孩子;母亲的形象应是内心深藏梦想、为
家庭付出一切、情感内敛的女性。
避免俗套:母亲的感动和转变不应是突然的号啕大哭或夸张的言语,而应是通过细微的神态、动作和简练
的对话来体现(如:手指颤抖、沉默的拥抱、声音哽咽)。情感的流露应有层次。
紧扣主题:所有描写应服务于“爱与梦想的传承”这一核心。如出现无关冲突(如母亲因心疼女儿而生气),或主题偏离到“学习压力”等,适当扣分。
精彩细节与呼应:高分文段应出现与上文呼应的关键细节,例如:触觉呼应:母亲“粗糙的手指”与她所
触摸的“光滑的扶手杠”形成对比,象征现实与梦想的交汇;动作呼应:母亲“抚摸把杆”与照片中“在扶手
杠旁起舞”形成时空呼应。

M: Where will we sleep?
W: We' ll stay on a special campsite and sleep outside.
M: Because it's so hot?
W: No. Visitors sleep outside so they can watch the stars.
Text 2
W: So, have you decided?
M: Um, kind of ... I like it, but I'm not sure how it fits.
W: Let me see. It's a little big.
M: Could I try it in a medium size?

W: Be careful. Stay still in the elevator. It's dangerous to jump up and down here. If you want to play, why don't you go
to the playground?
M: I'm sorry. I won't do that again.

M: Alice, I am shaking like a leaf. I'm not sure whether I will make everyone satisfied with my performance.
W: You have made full preparations and I think everything will be fine.

W: Hi, Jeff, do you want to see the new Bob Ford movie this weekend?
M: It's an interesting movie, but I'd like to take some physical exercise. How about swimming on Sunday?
W: That's a good idea.

M: I hear that you missed a concert you were supposed to do in Germany recently. How did that happen?
W: Well, I just lost my passport. I couldn't find it anywhere in my house.
M: How did that happen?
W: Obviously, I would say that it wasn't my fault, but, well, it wasn't my fault I just thought that my tour manager had
it. But he didn't have it. He normally keeps it for me when I'm traveling for concerts and Idon't know how it got
lost.

M: You moved to a new place last month, didn't you?
W: Yeah. It was a pity I had to leave that flat because in many ways I liked being there. It was warm, even during the
coldest nights of January, and the owner was fair, charging me a reasonable rent and immediately getting things fixed
whenever anything went wrong.
M: That was good.
W: Yeah, but he couldn't do anything about the Smiths next door, who seemed to spend nearly all their time having
arguments. I tried turning up the TV but I could still hear them, and when I saw Mrs. Smith in the hall one morning
and mentioned it to her, she got quite mad. So, sadly, I had to pack my bags and find somewhere else.

W: You' re here in the U. S. A. as an international student now. I'd like to ask you a few questions about the differences
between university life in Italy and in the U. S. A. First, let me ask about the school schedules inItaly. Is it the same
as in the U. S. A.? I mean, a school year begins in September and ends in May?
M: Well, it's not quite the same in Italy. Our lessons begin in early October and finish in late July.
W: OK, next question. What's a typical school day like in Italy?M: For me, well, I usually begin my day with a cup of tea. Then I get to school around 7:30. If I have time,I have a look
at my email or read the newspaper before class. For lunch, it's the same as it is here in theU. S. A. Students usually
eat together with their friends in the university cafeteria.

W: Jack, how did you become interested in such a dangerous sport?
M: Well, first I'd like to point out that climbing isn't a dangerous sport, if you take it seriously. Almost all the people who
have accidents are badly prepared, and this gives the sport a bad name.
W: Is the excitement part of the reason why you are so keen on climbing?
M: Only a small part of the reason. The sense of achievement is more important, I suppose. But the main thing is the
sensation of being so close to nature.
W: I suppose you get a view of mountains that nobody else really sees?
M: Yes. But if I was dropped on the top of a mountain by helicopter, it wouldn't be the same. It's knowing that you' ve
covered the distance to the top yourself, fighting every inch of the way. That's what makes you feel so pleased with
yourself when you get to the top.
W: How did your parents feel when you were addicted to the sport?
M: Oh! Very anxious that I should get the proper training and experience, but they' ve never tried to put me off. They were
able to support me financially, which was useful.
