The history of microbiology begins with Dutch cloth maker named Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, a man of no formal scientific education. In the late 1600s. Leeuwenhoek, inspired by the magnifying lenses(放大镜)he used to examine cloth, built some of the first-microscopes. He developed technique to improve the quality of tiny, rounded lenses, some of which could magnify an object up to 270 times. After removing some plaque from between his teeth and examining it under a lens, Leeuwenhoek found tiny twisting creatures, which he called “animalcules”.
His observations, which he reported to the Royal Society of London, are among the first descriptions of microbes(微生物). Leeuwenhoek discovered an entire universe invisible to the human eye. He found different microbes in samples of pond water, rain water, and human blood. He gave the first description of red blood cells, observed plant tissue, examined muscle, and investigated the life cycle of insects.
Nearly two hundred years later, Leeuwenhock’s discovery of microbes helped French chemist and biologist Louis Pasteur to develop his “theory of disease”. This concept suggested that disease originates from tiny organisms attacking and weakening the body. Pasteur’s theory later helped doctors to fight infectious diseases including anthrax, diphtheria, polio, smallpox, tetanus, and typhoid. All these breakthroughs were the result of Leeuwenhoek’s original work. Leeuwenhoek did not foresee this legacy.
In a 1716 letter, he described his contribution to science this way: “My work, which I’ve done for a long time, was not pursued in order to gain the praise I now enjoy, but chiefly from a strong desire for knowledge, which I notice resides in me more than in most other men. And therefore; whenever I found out anything remarkable, I have thought it my duty to put down my discovery on paper, so that the scientific community might be informed thereof.”
4. Which of the following best describes Leeuwenhoek
A. trained researcher with an interest in microbiology
B. A curious amateur who made pioneer studies of microbes
C. A talented scientist interested in finding a cure for disease
D. A bored cloth maker who accidentally made a major discovery
5. The underlined phrase “this legacy” in paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A. the discovery of microbes
B. Pasteur’s theory of disease
C. Leeuwenhoek’s contribution
D. the origin of the tiny organism
6. What does the quote from Leeuwenhock’s letter suggest
A. He admitted that many of his discoveries happened by chance.
B. He considered his work to be central to later medical breakthroughs.
C. He was greatly concerned with improving people’s living conditions.
D He believed the sharing of knowledge was a key to scientific progress
7. What is the correct order for the following events
a. Magnifying lenses were built.
b. The “theory of disease” was put forward
c. Microbes were discovered in samples of waters.
d. Leeuwenhoek’s first microscopes were successfully developed.
e. Leeuwenhoek explained his thoughts upon his own contribution.

If you’re someone who looks in the mirror every day and concentrates only on any minor flaw (缺陷), you’re not alone. For many people, struggling with body image issues is a continuous battle.
“How hostile (恶意的) is the world to unattractive girls ” became a popular topic on Sina Weibo in March.
The topic met with agreement among many girls who shared their personal experiences One internet user talked about how her friends would often cut her image out of group pictures because they thought she was too fat. What became clear was that this feeling of insecurity and distance was all too common.
What promotes this anxiety among young people
As the country’s economy has developed rapidly, people are easier to be influenced by what others think of them, noted CGTN.
Greater time spent online also means greater exposure to advertisements promoting “paper-thin waists” or “chopstick legs”. Such unrealistic ideals only further young people’s anxiety and lead to an unhealthy mindset of perfectionism.
The anxiety over appearance and shape has pushed some people into physical and mental illness. According to Beat, the UK’s leading eating disorder charity, the idealization of thinness is a key factor in worsening the illness and preventing recovery. Some people even go through surgery just to achieve what they believe society considers “beautiful”.
But beauty doesn’t come from a makeup brush or a thinner waist Growing taller and having perfect skin isn’t the solution to insecurity. The fact that every person is different is something to be celebrated.
A line from China’s first female monologue (独白剧) drama called Hear Her says it perfectly: “I am not perfect. Perfection is dull. I am perfect when I fully realize myself.”
8. What is a cause of young people’s anxiety about their body image according to the text
A. The standard promoted by some media.
B. The fierce competition they face.
C. The struggle they have experienced.
D. Their desire for easier success.
9. According to Beat, what plays a leading role in worsening people’s illness related to the anxiety over appearance and shape
A. The feeling of insecurity. B. Other people’s opinions.
C. The desire for thinness. D. The popularity of plastic surgery.
10. According to the text, what can people do to ease anxiety related to body image
A. Have plastic surgery. B. Accept their differences.
C. Work to realize their dream. D. Stop wearing makeup.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. Avoid Misleading Advertisements
B. Stop Wearing Makeup
C. Improve Yourself
D. Celebrate Imperfection
D
Tree planting used to be regarded as an effective means of controlling climate change. Perhaps it’s time for us to rethink this practice.
Trees pull carbon dioxide or CO2 from the air. This effectively removes CO2 from the atmosphere, making trees an important part of the fight against climate change. But trees only hold onto carbon dioxide as long as they’re alive. Once they die, trees will rot and release that CO2 back into the atmosphere.
Recent studies have found that trees around the world are growing faster than ever. Rising CO2, mainly due to burning fossil fuels, is probably driving that rapid growth, said Roel Brienen, a forest ecologist at the University of Leeds, UK. High levels of this gas are increasing temperatures, which in turn speeds tree growth in those areas, he added.
The faster trees grow, the faster they store carbon. It seems like good news. However, it is known that fast-growing tree species, in general, live shorter lives than their slow-growing relatives.
In order to see whether the growth-lifespan trade-off (生长和寿命之间的权衡) is a universal phenomenon, Brienen and his colleagues analyzed over 210,000 individual tree ring records of 110 tree species from more than 70,000 sites worldwide. “By measuring tree rings’ widths one can tell how fast trees grew, while counting rings provides information on tree ages and allows making inferences about trees’ maximum lifespan,” Brienen explained.
The team also created a computer program that modeled a forest and tweaked (轻微调整) the growth of the trees in this model. Early on it showed that “the forest could hold more carbon as the trees grew faster”, Brienen reported. But after 20 years, these trees started dying and losing this extra carbon again. “We must understand that the only solution to bring down CO2 levels is to stop emitting (排放) it into the atmosphere,” said Brienen.
12. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Climate change is affecting trees’ lifespan.
B. Studies found that trees that die sooner release more CO2.
C. Trees aren’t such a reliable solution to global warming.
D. Scientists are working on whether forests can hold more carbon.
13. What may be causing trees to grow faster
A. The formation of fossil fuels. B. The increase of atmospheric CO2.
C. Lower temperatures. D. The evolution of some species of trees.
14. What can people know by measuring tree rings’ widths
A. The speed of trees’ growth. B. The trees’ age.
C. The trees’ maximum lifespan. D. The trees’ habitats.
15. What do Roel Brienen’s words in the last paragraph probably mean
A. It is hard for trees to hold more carbon.
B. The CO2 level is impossible to bring down.
C. We must find other ways to store CO2.
D We can only reduce CO2 by preventing its emissions.

Dark rain clouds were gathering in the sky. I was cycling as fast as I could to get home before the downpour. When I felt a few big drops on my head, I decided to head for a bus stop, about a hundred meters away. As I was nearing the bus stop, I saw a lady rushing towards it from the opposite direction, pulling a little boy behind her. The little boy was finding it hard to keep up with her, so, finally, she just picked him up and carried him.
Suddenly, a motorcycle roared past me, almost knocking me down. “Hey! Are you mad!” I shouted at the motorcyclist. He turned to look at me, and for a split second, I saw his face—cruel, with glaring eyes and menacing (阴森的) expression, most remarkably, a scar on his forehead. However, he just sped on. Then, I realized that he was heading right for the woman and little boy!
“Watch out! Watch out!” I shouted. I saw the lady turn to look at the motorcyclist, a look of utter terror spread over her face.
In an instant, the motorcyclist had reached the lady. He stretched out an arm and grabbed hold of her handbag, hitting her on the back at the same time. The impact sent the lady falling forward. The mother and child fell on the road, landing right in the path of a van.
“Stop! Stop!” I screamed at the van driver, waving my arms wildly in the air. Thankfully, the driver had seen what was happening. With a squeal of brakes, the van stopped a few meters from the spot where the mother and child lay sprawled (四肢伸开的) on the road.
I saw the lady crawling on the road towards the crying child. There was blood all over them. Throwing my bicycle to the side of the road, I ran to help them.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。

The history of microbiology begins with Dutch cloth maker named Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, a man of no formal scientific education. In the late 1600s. Leeuwenhoek, inspired by the magnifying lenses(放大镜)he used to examine cloth, built some of the first-microscopes. He developed technique to improve the quality of tiny, rounded lenses, some of which could magnify an object up to 270 times. After removing some plaque from between his teeth and examining it under a lens, Leeuwenhoek found tiny twisting creatures, which he called “animalcules”.
His observations, which he reported to the Royal Society of London, are among the first descriptions of microbes(微生物). Leeuwenhoek discovered an entire universe invisible to the human eye. He found different microbes in samples of pond water, rain water, and human blood. He gave the first description of red blood cells, observed plant tissue, examined muscle, and investigated the life cycle of insects.
Nearly two hundred years later, Leeuwenhock’s discovery of microbes helped French chemist and biologist Louis Pasteur to develop his “theory of disease”. This concept suggested that disease originates from tiny organisms attacking and weakening the body. Pasteur’s theory later helped doctors to fight infectious diseases including anthrax, diphtheria, polio, smallpox, tetanus, and typhoid. All these breakthroughs were the result of Leeuwenhoek’s original work. Leeuwenhoek did not foresee this legacy.
In a 1716 letter, he described his contribution to science this way: “My work, which I’ve done for a long time, was not pursued in order to gain the praise I now enjoy, but chiefly from a strong desire for knowledge, which I notice resides in me more than in most other men. And therefore; whenever I found out anything remarkable, I have thought it my duty to put down my discovery on paper, so that the scientific community might be informed thereof.”
4. Which of the following best describes Leeuwenhoek
A. trained researcher with an interest in microbiology
B. A curious amateur who made pioneer studies of microbes
C. A talented scientist interested in finding a cure for disease
D. A bored cloth maker who accidentally made a major discovery
5. The underlined phrase “this legacy” in paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A. the discovery of microbes
B. Pasteur’s theory of disease
C. Leeuwenhoek’s contribution
D. the origin of the tiny organism
6. What does the quote from Leeuwenhock’s letter suggest
A. He admitted that many of his discoveries happened by chance.
B. He considered his work to be central to later medical breakthroughs.
C. He was greatly concerned with improving people’s living conditions.
D. He believed the sharing of knowledge was a key to scientific progress
7. What is the correct order for the following events
a. Magnifying lenses were built.
b. The “theory of disease” was put forward
c. Microbes were discovered in samples of waters.
d. Leeuwenhoek’s first microscopes were successfully developed.

【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了荷兰布商Antoni van Leeuwenhoek受放大镜的启发自己研制了显微镜,并利用显微镜发现了微生物,进而对科学界起到了很大的推动作用。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据首段首句“The history of microbiology begins with Dutch cloth maker named Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, a man of no formal scientific education.”(微生物学的历史始于荷兰制衣人Antoni van Leeuwenhoek,他没有受过正式的科学教育。)可知,Leeuwenhoek只是业余爱好者。根据最后一句“After removing some plaque from between his teeth and examining it under a lens, Leeuwenhoek found tiny twisting creatures, which he called “animalcules”.”(Antoni van Leeuwenhoek从牙齿间取出一些菌斑,并在镜片下进行检查后,发现了一种扭曲的微小生物,他称之为微生物)以及第二段的首句“His observations, which he reported to the Royal Society of London, are among the first descriptions of microbes.”(他向伦敦皇家学会报告的观察结果,是对微生物的最早描述之一。)可知,Leeuwenhoek是微生物研究的先驱。综上所述,Antoni van Leeuwenhoek是对微生物进行开创性研究的好奇的业余爱好者。故选B项。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。划线词的this是关键词,指代上文内容。根据上文“Nearly two hundred years later, Leeuwenhock’s discovery of microbes helped French chemist and biologist Louis Pasteur to develop his “theory of disease”. Pasteur’s theory later helped doctors to fight infectious diseases including anthrax, diphtheria, polio, smallpox, tetanus, and typhoid. All these breakthroughs were the result of Leeuwenhoek’s original work.”(近两百年后,Leeuwenhoek对微生物的发现帮助法国化学家和生物学家Louis Pasteur发展了他的疾病理论。Louis Pasteur的理论后来帮助医生对抗传染病,包括炭疽、白喉、小儿麻痹症、天花、破伤风和伤寒。所有这些突破都是Leeuwenhoek独创的成果。)可推知,划线词指代的是Leeuwenhoek的贡献。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一句话“And therefore; whenever I found out anything remarkable, I have thought it my duty to put down my discovery on paper, so that the scientific community might be informed thereof.”(因此;每当我发现了什么不寻常的东西,我就认为我有责任把我的发现写在纸上,以便让科学界知道这一点。)可推知,他认为共享知识是科学进步的关键。故选D项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据首段的第二句“In the late 1600s. Leeuwenhoek, inspired by the magnifying lenses he used to examine cloth, built some of the first-microscopes.”(在17世纪末。Leeuwenhoek受到他用来检查布料的放大镜的启发,制造了一些最早的显微镜。)可知,显微镜的发明在放大镜之后。根据第二段的第三句“He found different microbes in samples of pond water, rain water, and human blood.”(他在池塘水、雨水和人体血液样本中发现了不同的微生物。)可知,在显微镜发明之后发现不同的微生物。根据尾段的第一句“In a 1716 letter, he described his contribution to science this way:”(在1716年的一封信中,他这样描述了自己对科学的贡献)以及第三段的首句“Nearly two hundred years later, Leeuwenhock’s discovery of microbes helped French chemist and biologist Louis Pasteur to develop his “theory of disease”.”(近两百年后,Leeuwenhoek对微生物的发现帮助法国化学家和生物学家路Louis Pasteur发展了他的疾病理论)可知,疾病理论的提出在后。故选A项。

If you’re someone who looks in the mirror every day and concentrates only on any minor flaw (缺陷), you’re not alone. For many people, struggling with body image issues is a continuous battle.
“How hostile (恶意的) is the world to unattractive girls ” became a popular topic on Sina Weibo in March.
The topic met with agreement among many girls who shared their personal experiences. One internet user talked about how her friends would often cut her image out of group pictures because they thought she was too fat. What became clear was that this feeling of insecurity and distance was all too common.
What promotes this anxiety among young people
As the country’s economy has developed rapidly, people are easier to be influenced by what others think of them, noted CGTN.
Greater time spent online also means greater exposure to advertisements promoting “paper-thin waists” or “chopstick legs”. Such unrealistic ideals only further young people’s anxiety and lead to an unhealthy mindset of perfectionism.
The anxiety over appearance and shape has pushed some people into physical and mental illness. According to Beat, the UK’s leading eating disorder charity, the idealization of thinness is a key factor in worsening the illness and preventing recovery. Some people even go through surgery just to achieve what they believe society considers “beautiful”.
But beauty doesn’t come from a makeup brush or a thinner waist. Growing taller and having perfect skin isn’t the solution to insecurity. The fact that every person is different is something to be celebrated.
A line from China’s first female monologue (独白剧) drama called Hear Her says it perfectly: “I am not perfect. Perfection is dull. I am perfect when I fully realize myself.”
8. What is a cause of young people’s anxiety about their body image according to the text
A. The standard promoted by some media.
B. The fierce competition they face.
C. The struggle they have experienced.
D. Their desire for easier success.
9. According to Beat, what plays a leading role in worsening people’s illness related to the anxiety over appearance and shape
A. The feeling of insecurity. B. Other people’s opinions.
C. The desire for thinness. D. The popularity of plastic surgery.
10. According to the text, what can people do to ease anxiety related to body image
A. Have plastic surgery. B. Accept their differences.
C. Work to realize their dream. D. Stop wearing makeup.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. Avoid Misleading Advertisements
B. Stop Wearing Makeup
C. Improve Yourself
D. Celebrate Imperfection
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了随着社会的发展,人们更容易受到其他人对自己看法的影响,同时一些媒体宣传的标准导致年轻人对身体形象产生焦虑,但是事实上,每个人都是不同的,我们应该接受自己的不同,接受自己的不完美。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第六段“Greater time spent online also means greater exposure to advertisements promoting “paper-thin waists” or “chopstick legs”. Such unrealistic ideals only further young people’s anxiety and lead to an unhealthy mindset of perfectionism.”(花更多的时间在网上也意味着更多地接触到宣传“像纸一样薄的腰”或“筷子腿”的广告。这种不切实际的想法只会进一步加剧年轻人的焦虑,导致不健康的完美主义心态。)可知,一些媒体宣传“像纸一样薄的腰”或“筷子腿”这样的广告,加剧了年轻人的焦虑,所以说一些媒体宣传的标准导致年轻人对身体形象产生焦虑,故选A。
2.细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“According to Beat, the UK’s leading eating disorder charity, the idealization of thinness is a key factor in worsening the illness and preventing recovery.”(据英国领先的饮食失调慈善机构Beat的报道,理想化的苗条身材是恶化疾病和阻止康复的关键因素。)可知,根据Beat,理想化的苗条身材,即对苗条身材的渴望,导致了人们对外貌和体型的焦虑,从而使病情恶化,故选C。
3.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“But beauty doesn’t come from a makeup brush or a thinner waist. Growing taller and having perfect skin isn’t the solution to insecurity. The fact that every person is different is something to be celebrated. The fact that every person is different is something to be celebrated.”(但是美丽不是来自化妆刷或者拥有纤细的腰。长高,拥有完美的皮肤,并不是解决不安全感的方法。事实上每个人都是不同的,这是值得庆祝的。)可知,美丽并不是来自化妆刷或者拥有纤细的腰,或者长高,或者拥有完美的皮肤,事实上,每个人都是不同的,这是值得庆祝的,所以可以推断出,人们要接受自己的不同,这样可以缓解人们因身体形象而产生的焦虑,故选B。
4.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是最后两段“But beauty doesn’t come from a makeup brush or a thinner waist. Growing taller and having perfect skin isn’t the solution to insecurity. The fact that every person is different is something to be celebrated.A line from China’s first female monologue (独白剧) drama called Hear Her says it perfectly: “I am not perfect. Perfection is dull. I am perfect when I fully realize myself.””(但是美丽不是来自化妆刷或者拥有纤细的腰。长高,拥有完美的皮肤,并不是解决不安全感的方法。每个人都是不同的,这一事实值得庆祝。中国第一部女性独白剧《听她说》中的一句台词完美地表达了这一点;“我不完美。完美是无趣的。当我完全认识到自己的时候,我就是完美的。)可知,文章主要讲述了随着社会的发展,人们更容易受到其他人对自己看法的影响,同时一些媒体宣传的标准导致年轻人对身体形象产生焦虑,但是事实上,每个人都是不同的,我们应该接受自己的不同,接受自己的不完美,歌颂自己的不完美,所以D选项“Celebrate Imperfection”(歌颂自己的不完美)最适合做文章标题,故选D。
D
Tree planting used to be regarded as an effective means of controlling climate change. Perhaps it’s time for us to rethink this practice.
Trees pull carbon dioxide or CO2 from the air. This effectively removes CO2 from the atmosphere, making trees an important part of the fight against climate change. But trees only hold onto carbon dioxide as long as they’re alive. Once they die, trees will rot and release that CO2 back into the atmosphere.
Recent studies have found that trees around the world are growing faster than ever. Rising CO2, mainly due to burning fossil fuels, is probably driving that rapid growth, said Roel Brienen, a forest ecologist at the University of Leeds, UK. High levels of this gas are increasing temperatures, which in turn speeds tree growth in those areas, he added.
The faster trees grow, the faster they store carbon. It seems like good news. However, it is known that fast-growing tree species, in general, live shorter lives than their slow-growing relatives.
In order to see whether the growth-lifespan trade-off (生长和寿命之间的权衡) is a universal phenomenon, Brienen and his colleagues analyzed over 210,000 individual tree ring records of 110 tree species from more than 70,000 sites worldwide. “By measuring tree rings’ widths one can tell how fast trees grew, while counting rings provides information on tree ages and allows making inferences about trees’ maximum lifespan,” Brienen explained.
The team also created a computer program that modeled a forest and tweaked (轻微调整) the growth of the trees in this model. Early on, it showed that “the forest could hold more carbon as the trees grew faster”, Brienen reported. But after 20 years, these trees started dying and losing this extra carbon again. “We must understand that the only solution to bring down CO2 levels is to stop emitting (排放) it into the atmosphere,” said Brienen.
12. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Climate change is affecting trees’ lifespan.
B. Studies found that trees that die sooner release more CO2.
C. Trees aren’t such a reliable solution to global warming.
D. Scientists are working on whether forests can hold more carbon.
13. What may be causing trees to grow faster
A. The formation of fossil fuels. B. The increase of atmospheric CO2.
C. Lower temperatures. D. The evolution of some species of trees.
14. What can people know by measuring tree rings’ widths
A. The speed of trees’ growth. B. The trees’ age.
C. The trees’ maximum lifespan. D. The trees’ habitats.
15. What do Roel Brienen’s words in the last paragraph probably mean
A. It is hard for trees to hold more carbon.
B. The CO2 level is impossible to bring down.
C. We must find other ways to store CO2.
D. We can only reduce CO2 by preventing its emissions.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D

【分析】这是一篇说明文。最近的研究发现,树木只有在活着的时候才会吸收二氧化碳。一旦它们死亡,树木就会腐烂并将二氧化碳释放回大气中。植树曾被认为是减少气候变化的有效手段。也许是时候重新考虑一下这种做法了。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据为文章第一段“Tree planting used to be regarded as an effective means of controlling climate change. Perhaps it’s time for us to rethink this practice.(植树曾经被认为是控制气候变化的有效手段。也许是时候重新考虑这种做法了。)”以及文章的第二段“But trees only hold onto carbon dioxide as long as they’re alive. Once they die, trees will rot and release that CO2 back into the atmosphere.(但是树木只有在活着的时候才能吸收二氧化碳。树木一旦死亡,就会腐烂并将二氧化碳释放回大气中。)”解释原因,后文进行研究论证。可知文章主要讲述的是树木并不是解决全球变暖问题的可靠方法。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Recent studies have found that trees around the world are growing faster than ever. Rising CO2, mainly due to burning fossil fuels, is probably driving that rapid growth(最近的研究发现,世界各地的树木正以前所未有的速度生长。二氧化碳的增加,主要是由于燃烧化石燃料,可能推动了这种快速增长)”可知大气中二氧化碳的增加可能会导致树木生长得更快。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“By measuring tree rings’ widths one can tell how fast trees grew, while counting rings provides information on tree ages and allows making inferences about trees’ maximum lifespan,(通过测量树木年轮的宽度,人们可以知道树木生长的速度,而计算年轮可以提供树木年龄的信息,并可以推断树木的最大寿命)”可知人们通过测量树木年轮的宽度知道树的生长速度。故选A。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“We must understand that the only solution to bring down CO2 levels is to stop emitting (排放) it into the atmosphere,(我们必须明白,降低二氧化碳水平的唯一办法是停止将其排放到大气中)”可知我们只能通过阻止二氧化碳的排放来减少二氧化碳。故选D。

Auld Lang Syne
Friendship is one of life’s greatest gifts, and it ____36____ (value) in both Eastern and Western cultures. One of the most famous sayings about friendship in China can be found in the words of Confucius: “Isn’t it a joy when friends visit from faraway places ”
In the UK, there is an ____37____ (equal) famous poem about friendship. It reminds people ____38____ (remember) and value old friendships, as they look to the years ahead.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了《友谊地久天长》这首歌的起源以及在东西方的流行。
【详解】1.考查时态和语态。句意:友谊是生命中最伟大的礼物之一,东西方文化中都重视友谊。分析句子结构可知,and前后连接两个句子,空处做谓语,句子描述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时,且主语是it和动词value(重视)二者之间是被动关系,所以应用一般现在时的被动,主语是第三人称单数,所以应用is valued,故填is valued。
2.考查副词。句意:在英国,有一首同样著名的关于友谊的诗。此处修饰形容词famous(有名的)应用副词equally,作状语,表示“同样地”,故填equally。
3.考查非谓语动词。句意: 它提醒人们在展望未来的时候,要记住并珍惜旧日友谊。Remind sb. to do是固定搭配,表示“提醒某人做某事”,故填to remember。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意:“Auld Lang Syne”是苏格兰语,翻译过来就是“old long since”,意思是“逝去的日子”。分析句子结构可知,句子并列谓语为is和translates,与设空处无连词连接,所以空处是非谓语动词,做状语,其逻辑主语是主句主语Auld Lang Syne,和动词mean(意味着)二者之间是主动关系,所以应用mean的现在分词形式,故填meaning。
5.考查名词。句意: 这首诗是在1796年印刷的,就在Burns死后。介词after后应用名词作宾语,所以此处应用动词die(死)的名词death(死亡),故填death。
6.考查连词。句意:欢乐但同时也有点悲伤,《友谊地久天长》出现在许多电影中,包括《魂断蓝桥》,这部电影让这首歌在中国观众中广为人知。空处前后连接形容词joyful(高兴的)和sad(伤心的),且二者是转折关系,所以应用but来连接,故填but。
7.考查定语从句。句意:欢乐但同时也有点悲伤,《友谊地久天长》出现在许多电影中,包括《魂断蓝桥》,这部电影让这首歌在中国观众中广为人知。分析句子结构可知,“________ made the song widely known to Chinese audiences.”是限定性定语从句,先行词是film(电影),指物,在定语从句中做主语,应用关系代词which或that来引导,故填which或that。
8.考查介词。句意:在派对,庆典,节日,甚至一些商场关门的时候都会播放这首歌。名词parties,celebrations和festivals都与介词at搭配,at parties(在派对上),at celebrations(在庆祝活动上)和at festivals(在节日)是固定搭配,故填at。
9.考查冠词。句意:无论用什么语言或在什么场合,它都已经成为友谊和共同经历的象征——不管我们能不能唱出来。此处symbol是可数名词,表示“象征”,此处是泛指,应用不定冠词,且symbol发音不是以元音音素开头,所以用a,a symbol of表示“.....的象征”,故填a。
10.考查固定搭配。句意:无论用什么语言或在什么场合,它都已经成为友谊和共同经历的象征——不管我们能不能唱出来。Whether...or not是固定搭配,表示“是否”,故填whether。

My Sports Story

【答案】My Sports Story
I’ve been a sports nut since childhood. That’s why when my PE teacher presented me with the idea of joining the swimming team I decided to give it a shot. At first, I only regarded it as a hobby to enhance my physical fitness. But soon I found I became increasingly fascinated by it and persisted with practice on a daily basis. I even won the third place in a competition, which proved that hard work pays off. I will keep on swimming, perhaps for the rest of my life. And my ultimate goal is to be a swimming coach and help more people benefit from it.

Dark rain clouds were gathering in the sky. I was cycling as fast as I could to get home before the downpour. When I felt a few big drops on my head I decided to head for a bus stop, about a hundred meters away. As I was nearing the bus stop, I saw a lady rushing towards it from the opposite direction, pulling a little boy behind her. The little boy was finding it hard to keep up with her, so, finally, she just picked him up and carried him.
Suddenly, a motorcycle roared past me, almost knocking me down. “Hey! Are you mad!” I shouted at the motorcyclist. He turned to look at me, and for a split second, I saw his face—cruel, with glaring eyes and menacing (阴森的) expression, most remarkably, a scar on his forehead. However, he just sped on. Then, I realized that he was heading right for the woman and little boy!
“Watch out! Watch out!” I shouted. I saw the lady turn to look at the motorcyclist, a look of utter terror spread over her face.
In an instant, the motorcyclist had reached the lady. He stretched out an arm and grabbed hold of her handbag, hitting her on the back at the same time. The impact sent the lady falling forward. The mother and child fell on the road, landing right in the path of a van.
“Stop! Stop!” I screamed at the van driver, waving my arms wildly in the air. Thankfully, the driver had seen what was happening. With a squeal of brakes, the van stopped a few meters from the spot where the mother and child lay sprawled (四肢伸开的) on the road.
I saw the lady crawling on the road towards the crying child. There was blood all over them. Throwing my bicycle to the side of the road, I ran to help them.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1: By the time I got there, the van driver had reached them.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: A few days later, I received a phone call from the woman.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1: By the time I got there, the van driver had reached them. He was gently holding the child and examining his limbs. Fortunately, the little boy was all right. “Don’t panic. You’ll be all right. We’ll rush you to a hospital,” I said to the woman, trying to relieve her anxiety. The lady could not walk, so the man carried her and settled her in his van. I carried the whimpering child to the van and landed him beside his mother. The man asked me to go along with them so that I could help make the police report.
Paragraph 2: A few days later, I received a phone call from the woman. I was informed that she had suffered only minor injuries from the incident and already been discharged from the hospital. “What’s more, the snatch thief was finally arrested and put into jail, thanks to your detailed description of his facial features.” she added. “I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your timely help.” Finishing the telephone call, I felt overwhelmed with delight from the bottom of my heart. The warm sunshine shone in. What a beautiful day!
