I met Luis, an exchange student from Mexico, and soon we became friends. Language was no barrier as he could speak English. If his three sisters, who spoke little English, hadn’t visited us, we might have been the best friends.
At that time, I got along well with him and determined to pay a visit to his home and make a good impression on his family. The only problem was that I was too busy with my classes to take a Spanish class. Instead, I decided to take the Spanish-English cognate (同根词) shortcut. I thought to myself, “They are interrelated, and Spanish is not so difficult.” I discovered I could add a vowel(元音)to the end of many English words. Instantly, it became Spanish. Thus “active” was “activo”; “habit” was “habito”; “abrupt” was “abrupto”.
On a Saturday night, I was invited to dinner at Luis’s apartment when his sisters arrived. I thought the dinner went well since the three girls kept giving me friendly smiles. However, we kept silent, and no one seemed to break the ice. Then Luis excused himself from the table.
With three pairs of eyes focused on me, I was forced to speak. Since I didn’t know much about Spanish, I had to be careful to say anything. I chose to play it safe by simply praising the fine meal they’d made. “Me gusta el dinero,” I said, smiling at each girl in return. They unhappily stared at me as Luis re-entered the room. Confusedly, he asked, “What did you do ” I just praised your sisters for this delicious dinner,” I replied weakly, suddenly questioning my limited Spanish vocabulary. Finally, the three girls told me that “gusta el dinero” means “like money”.
That night really left me in an awkward state. I couldn’t say that ended my friendship with Luis but things were never quite the same between us after the fateful night. I learned a valuable lesson—it was always the shortcuts that got me into trouble.
4. What does the author think of Spanish and English

Researchers following tiger sharks off the southern coast of Belize couldn’t believe their eyes when they recently caught a different kind of fish. It turned out to be a Greenland shark, which is typically found in the Arctic and can live to be about 400 years old.
The team of scientists thought the shark was dead when they finally pulled it to the surface. Unlike the tiger sharks they saw, this particular shark had black, worn-looking skin and pale blue eyes. Devanshi Kasana, a Ph. D. candidate at the Florida International University’s Predator Ecology & Conservation Lab, said the shark looked “really old”.
There was no doubt that the discovery was unexpected. Kasana said, “As soon as it entered our field of vision, we saw a black figure that was getting bigger and bigger. When it came to the surface, none of the crew with all of their combined fishing experience had seen anything like that.” She said the discovery was especially exciting. She wondered how on earth these sharks, which were thought to mainly exist in the Arctic, could be found in the tropics as well.
Greenland sharks can be several hundred years old. The reason for their long life may have something to do with their speed of growth, which is very slow. Greenland sharks grow approximately one-third of an inch per year and can grow to more than 20 feet in length. And researchers believe the sharks don’t reach sexual maturity until sometime after the first 100 years of their life.
According to Kasana, some scientists have theorized that the Greenland sharks can be found across the globe, if one knows where to look. They love cold water, which is why they’re found in the Arctic. However, they’ve also been discovered as far south as off the coast of Georgia, thousands of feet beneath the ocean surface.
The theory is that the closer the sharks are to the equator, the deeper researchers have to go to find them. And they go deep over 7,000 feet down, according to NOAA.
8. What can we learn about the caught Greenland shark
A. It is 400 years old. B. It looks just like a tiger.
C. It has unique appearance. D. It only lives near the Arctic.
9. What does Kasana think of the discovery
A. Doubtful and fearful. B. Common and expected.
C. Exciting and threatening. D. Surprising and confusing.
10. What mainly contributes to Greenland sharks’ long life
A. The early maturity. B. The mild environment.
C The length of their bodies. D. The slow pace of their development.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. The longest-living shark in the world.
B. The oldest fish living near the equator.
C. A Greenland shark appearing in Belize.
D. A theory about the long life of wild fish.
D
“Fifty years ago, astronauts travelled to space in government-funded rockets designed, built and maintained by NASA. But today, the ‘astronauts’ are very often billionaires having a journey into low orbit on a rocket that they paid for themselves. This change feels like a giant leap, but it makes sense,” says Laura Seward Forczyk, founder of Astralytical, a space consulting company. She believes more and more of modern civilization relies on space.
Huge numbers of satellites orbit the planet, connecting us to everything from mobile phones to GPS, and there is a large sum of money in maintaining those systems. Forczyk thinks this doesn’t get a lot of headlines typically, but there are profitable reasons why private companies want to go into space.
The private commercial companies learn more about putting rockets and satellites into space to help NASA with the missions while NASA increases its management and guidance of them. That’s important because NASA itself has become financially limited. From its 1966 peak, when spending on the space race took up more than four percent of the US government’s budget, that spending is now less than half percent of the country’s total budget.
“NASA is using commercial companies to build a lot of hardware to perform those services of taking scientific payloads (载量) to the surface of the moon,” says Forczyk. “The hope is that people will follow — possibly by 2025, but more realistically by 2030. If you’re wondering why we’re going back to the moon — after all, mankind has already walked on its surface — the answer is that we explored only part of it.” “We know a lot more, but we also know so very little,” adds Forczyk. She wants to go back with people to learn more. But more importantly, she hopes and believes people can go to live and work there one day.
The universe is so big that we can’t stop exploring it. Some even see the moon as an eventual staging area for human exploration of deep space. Mars is regarded as the next stepping-off point towards the final frontier, though whether we’ll get there in our lifetime is another question.
12. What is the change of the American space travel today
A. It needs billions of government funds.
B. All astronauts should pay for it themselves.
C. It requires astronauts to carry mobile phones.
D. The rich can experience it at their own expense.
13. What is the relationship between NASA and the private commercial companies
A. Competitive. B. Interdependent.
C. Unrelated. D. Mistrustful.
14. What is Forczyk’s attitude to the moon exploration
A. Confident. B. Curious. C. Negative. D. Worried.
15. What does the last paragraph want to convey
A. There is no limit to space exploration.
B. The moon is the final exploration area.
C. Humans will cease exploring deep space.
D It is absolutely impossible to get to Mars.

Emotions help you communicate and connect with others, and they drive your behaviors or decisions in everyday life as well. However, not all emotions are positive or easy to deal with. ___16___ Here are four “S-word” life skills you can turn to.
The first “S” goes for self-awareness. ___17___ Physical sensations can influence your emotional state. Be aware of these feelings associated with different emotions. For example, feeling tension in the chest having butterflies in the stomach or simply getting nervous, can help you better understand how emotions influence your bodies and minds.
The second “S” is self-acceptance. This is often linked to greater well-being, while the experiential avoidance of emotions is linked to more negative emotions and symptoms of depression. ___18___ But it does mean you acknowledge them without judgment or criticism. Of course, it requires your tolerance and patience.
The third skill comes from self-compassion(自我同情). It is crucial to use this when things just don’t go well. ___19___ When things go wrong, treating yourself with kindness and calming your nerves with gentleness can bring the lower level of anxiety and depression.
___20___ It is helpful to protect your emotional well-being and maintain healthy relationships. As a human being, you should have dignity, principles and the bottom line. You can build your fence by saying “no” when necessary, or saying your needs and feelings out beforehand to prevent situations or people that you would not like to see again.
A. The last one is about setting boundaries.
B. The fourth one refers to personal forgiveness.
C. Remember to practise some self-care activities.
D. Especially, mixed emotions can be challenging to manage.
E. Accepting emotions never means you have to like bad ones.
F. It is the key to fully understanding your own emotions and others’.
G. Self-acceptance means tolerating all emotions, healthy or unhealthy.

In a small town, there lived a young girl named Emily. She had a deep passion for table tennis and dreamed of becoming a professional player. Despite her young age, she was determined to work hard and make her dream come true.
From the moment when Emily picked up a table tennis paddle, she was impressed by the sport. She spent every spare moment practicing her shots, focusing on her footwork and mastering different techniques. Each time she stepped on the court, she was eager to improve and pushed herself to the limit. Unluckily, Emily faced a visual impairment (缺陷) that threatened to slow her progress. She was born with a condition that affected her sight. Some people doubted her ability to play table tennis and said, “Emily, your impairment is a disadvantage. It is impossible to play table tennis well!”
But Emily refused to let their doubts consume her. With solid determination, Emily turned her impairment into strength. She used her other heightened senses to her advantage, relying on touch and sound to anticipate her opponents’ moves. While others relied on sight, she developed an incredible sense of intuition (直觉) and strategy.
Emily finally excelled in table tennis, achieving incredible milestones and representing her town in many competitions. She became an advocate of the sport in her town. However, Emily decided not to settle for winning in her comfort zone but to challenge for something higher. She joined a training team guided by a world-class coach, which brought together the world’s top table tennis players.
In the training team, Emily went through a series of trials. She carried out high-intensity training. She needed to improve not only the batting skills but also perseverance and the sense of teamwork. Her coach often encouraged her and said, “Anyone, regardless of ability, could find success.”
A few years later, Emily’s efforts paid off. She got her chance. As a member of the national team, she took part in an important international competition. That was the stage for her to show her skills, and it was also the important moment for her to realize her dream.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
In the competition, Emily found herself facing a strong opponent, Lily.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the competition, Emily’s story spread throughout the table tennis community.

Researchers following tiger sharks off the southern coast of Belize couldn’t believe their eyes when they recently caught a different kind of fish. It turned out to be a Greenland shark, which is typically found in the Arctic and can live to be about 400 years old.
The team of scientists thought the shark was dead when they finally pulled it to the surface. Unlike the tiger sharks they saw, this particular shark had black, worn-looking skin and pale blue eyes. Devanshi Kasana, a Ph. D. candidate at the Florida International University’s Predator Ecology & Conservation Lab, said the shark looked “really old”.

She wondered how on earth these sharks, which were thought to mainly exist in the Arctic, could be found in the tropics as well.
Greenland sharks can be several hundred years old. The reason for their long life may have something to do with their speed of growth, which is very slow. Greenland sharks grow approximately one-third of an inch per year and can grow to more than 20 feet in length. And researchers believe the sharks don’t reach sexual maturity until sometime after the first 100 years of their life.
According to Kasana, some scientists have theorized that the Greenland sharks can be found across the globe, if one knows where to look.

The theory is that the closer the sharks are to the equator, the deeper researchers have to go to find them. And they go deep over 7,000 feet down, according to NOAA.

Greenland sharks grow approximately one-third of an inch per year and can grow to more than 20 feet in length. And researchers believe the sharks don’t reach sexual maturity until sometime after the first 100 years of their life. (格陵兰鲨鱼可以活到几百岁。他们长寿的原因可能与他们的生长速度有关,这是非常缓慢的。格陵兰鲨鱼每年长大约三分之一英寸,长度可以超过20英尺。研究人员认为,鲨鱼直到它们生命的前100年才达到性成熟。)”可知,格陵兰鲨鱼之所以长寿是因为它们生长发育的速度很慢。故选D。

(研究人员在伯利兹南部海岸追踪虎鲨,当他们最近捕捉到一种不同的鱼时,简直不敢相信自己的眼睛。原来它是一条格陵兰鲨鱼,通常在北极发现,可以活到400岁左右。” ) 本文主要介绍了在伯利兹的南部海岸发现的一条格陵兰鲨鱼的具体情况。故选C。

“Fifty years ago, astronauts travelled to space in government-funded rockets designed, built and maintained by NASA. But today, the ‘astronauts’ are very often billionaires having a journey into low orbit on a rocket that they paid for themselves. This change feels like a giant leap, but it makes sense,” says Laura Seward Forczyk, founder of Astralytical, a space consulting company. She believes more and more of modern civilization relies on space.
Huge numbers of satellites orbit the planet, connecting us to everything from mobile phones to GPS, and there is a large sum of money in maintaining those systems. Forczyk thinks this doesn’t get a lot of headlines typically, but there are profitable reasons why private companies want to go into space.
The private commercial companies learn more about putting rockets and satellites into space to help NASA with the missions while NASA increases its management and guidance of them. That’s important because NASA itself has become financially limited. From its 1966 peak, when spending on the space race took up more than four percent of the US government’s budget, that spending is now less than half percent of the country’s total budget.
“NASA is using commercial companies to build a lot of hardware to perform those services of taking scientific payloads (载量) to the surface of the moon,” says Forczyk. “The hope is that people will follow — possibly by 2025, but more realistically by 2030. If you’re wondering why we’re going back to the moon — after all, mankind has already walked on its surface — the answer is that we explored only part of it.” “We know a lot more, but we also know so very little,” adds Forczyk. She wants to go back with people to learn more. But more importantly, she hopes and believes people can go to live and work there one day.
The universe is so big that we can’t stop exploring it. Some even see the moon as an eventual staging area for human exploration of deep space. Mars is regarded as the next stepping-off point towards the final frontier, though whether we’ll get there in our lifetime is another question.
12. What is the change of the American space travel today
A. It needs billions of government funds.
B. All astronauts should pay for it themselves.
C. It requires astronauts to carry mobile phones.
D. The rich can experience it at their own expense.
13. What is the relationship between NASA and the private commercial companies
A. Competitive. B. Interdependent.
C. Unrelated. D. Mistrustful.
14. What is Forczyk’s attitude to the moon exploration
A. Confident. B. Curious. C. Negative. D. Worried.
15. What does the last paragraph want to convey
A. There is no limit to space exploration.
B. The moon is the final exploration area.
C. Humans will cease exploring deep space.
D. It is absolutely impossible to get to Mars.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了NASA的宇航员的一些变化和对宇宙未来的探索。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But today, the ‘astronauts’ are very often billionaires having a journey into low orbit on a rocket that they paid for themselves. (但是今天,“宇航员”通常是亿万富翁,他们乘坐自己支付的火箭进入低轨道。)”可知,富人可以自费体验太空旅行。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The private commercial companies learn more about putting rockets and satellites into space to help NASA with the missions while NASA increases its management and guidance of them. (私营商业公司更多地了解如何将火箭和卫星送入太空,以帮助美国宇航局完成任务,而美国宇航局则加强了对它们的管理和指导。)”由此可知,NASA和私营商业公司是相互依赖的关系。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“She wants to go back with people to learn more. But more importantly, she hopes and believes people can go to live and work there one day. (她想回去和人们一起学习更多。但更重要的是,她希望并相信有一天人们可以去那里生活和工作。 )”可知,Forczyk希望并相信有一天人们能去月球生活和工作。由此推断,她对月球探索抱有信心。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The universe is so big that we can’t stop exploring it. Some even see the moon as an eventual staging area for human exploration of deep space. Mars is regarded as the next stepping-off point towards the final frontier, though whether we’ll get there in our lifetime is another question. (宇宙如此之大,我们无法停止对它的探索。一些人甚至认为月球是人类探索深空的最终集结地。火星被认为是通往终极边界的下一个起点,尽管我们能否在有生之年到达火星是另一个问题。)”可知,宇宙如此之大,我们无法停止对它的探索。由此可知,太空探索是无止境的。故选A。
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。
Emotions help you communicate and connect with others, and they drive your behaviors or decisions in everyday life as well. However, not all emotions are positive or easy to deal with. ___16___ Here are four “S-word” life skills you can turn to.
The first “S” goes for self-awareness. ___17___ Physical sensations can influence your emotional state. Be aware of these feelings associated with different emotions. For example, feeling tension in the chest having butterflies in the stomach or simply getting nervous, can help you better understand how emotions influence your bodies and minds.
The second “S” is self-acceptance. This is often linked to greater well-being, while the experiential avoidance of emotions is linked to more negative emotions and symptoms of depression. ___18___ But it does mean you acknowledge them without judgment or criticism. Of course, it requires your tolerance and patience.
The third skill comes from self-compassion(自我同情). It is crucial to use this when things just don’t go well. ___19___ When things go wrong, treating yourself with kindness and calming your nerves with gentleness can bring the lower level of anxiety and depression.
___20___ It is helpful to protect your emotional well-being and maintain healthy relationships. As a human being, you should have dignity, principles and the bottom line. You can build your fence by saying “no” when necessary, or saying your needs and feelings out beforehand to prevent situations or people that you would not like to see again.
A. The last one is about setting boundaries.
B. The fourth one refers to personal forgiveness.
C. Remember to practise some self-care activities.
D. Especially, mixed emotions can be challenging to manage.
E. Accepting emotions never means you have to like bad ones.
F. It is the key to fully understanding your own emotions and others’.
G. Self-acceptance means tolerating all emotions, healthy or unhealthy.
【答案】16. D 17. F 18. E 19. C 20. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了四种管理情绪的技巧。
【16题详解】
根据上文“However, not all emotions are positive or easy to deal with.(然而,并不是所有的情绪都是积极的或容易处理的)”可知本句承接上文,指出管理控制的情绪类型,故D选项“尤其是,复杂的情绪很难控制”符合语境,故选D。
【17题详解】
根据上文“The first “S” goes for self-awareness.(第一个S代表自我意识)”可知,上文提到了一个观点,本句继续对self-awareness补充说明,故F选项“这是充分理解自己和他人情绪的关键”符合语境,故选F。
【18题详解】
根据上文“This is often linked to greater well-being, while the experiential avoidance of emotions is linked to more negative emotions and symptoms of depression.(这通常与更大的幸福感有关,而体验性的情绪回避则与更多的负面情绪和抑郁症状有关)”以及后文“But it does mean you acknowledge them without judgment or criticism. Of course, it requires your tolerance and patience.(但这确实意味着你承认它们不是评判或批评。当然,这需要你的宽容和耐心)”可知,后文提到了“承认它们不是评判或批评”,说明本句旨在说明要接受情绪,后文说明接受情绪的内在意义。故E选项“接受情绪并不意味着你要喜欢不好的情绪”符合语境,故选E。
【19题详解】
根据后文“When things go wrong, treating yourself with kindness and calming your nerves with gentleness can bring the lower level of anxiety and depression.(当事情出错时,善待自己,用温柔安抚自己的神经,可以降低焦虑和抑郁的程度)”可知,下文列举了犯错误时对待自己的两种方式,说明要通过日常活动练习自我照顾。故C选项“记得练习一些自我照顾的活动”符合语境,故选C。
【20题详解】
根据后文“It is helpful to protect your emotional well-being and maintain healthy relationships. As a human being, you should have dignity, principles and the bottom line. You can build your fence by saying “no” when necessary, or saying your needs and feelings out beforehand to prevent situations or people that you would not like to see again.(它有助于保护你的情感健康和维持健康的人际关系。作为一个个体,你应该有尊严,有原则,有底线。你可以在必要的时候说“不”,或者提前说出你的需求和感受,以防止你不想再见到的情况或人)”可知,本段主要就自己设定界限展开阐述,故A选项“最后一个是关于设定界限”符合语境,故选A。

You’re surely the judge of the competitions and we can listen to your conclusion. As you know, we all like your writing class. If you can give the beginning of a story to let us write its ending, we’ll improve our imagination and have more interest in English writing.
I hope my advice will be helpful to you. Thanks for reading.

47. 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。
In a small town, there lived a young girl named Emily. She had a deep passion for table tennis and dreamed of becoming a professional player. Despite her young age, she was determined to work hard and make her dream come true.
From the moment when Emily picked up a table tennis paddle, she was impressed by the sport. She spent every spare moment practicing her shots, focusing on her footwork and mastering different techniques. Each time she stepped on the court, she was eager to improve and pushed herself to the limit. Unluckily, Emily faced a visual impairment (缺陷) that threatened to slow her progress. She was born with a condition that affected her sight. Some people doubted her ability to play table tennis and said, “Emily, your impairment is a disadvantage. It is impossible to play table tennis well!”
But Emily refused to let their doubts consume her. With solid determination, Emily turned her impairment into strength. She used her other heightened senses to her advantage, relying on touch and sound to anticipate her opponents’ moves. While others relied on sight, she developed an incredible sense of intuition (直觉) and strategy.
Emily finally excelled in table tennis, achieving incredible milestones and representing her town in many competitions. She became an advocate of the sport in her town. However, Emily decided not to settle for winning in her comfort zone but to challenge for something higher. She joined a training team guided by a world-class coach, which brought together the world’s top table tennis players.
In the training team, Emily went through a series of trials. She carried out high-intensity training. She needed to improve not only the batting skills but also perseverance and the sense of teamwork. Her coach often encouraged her and said, “Anyone, regardless of ability, could find success.”
A few years later, Emily’s efforts paid off. She got her chance. As a member of the national team, she took part in an important international competition. That was the stage for her to show her skills, and it was also the important moment for her to realize her dream.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
In the competition, Emily found herself facing a strong opponent, Lily.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the competition, Emily’s story spread throughout the table tennis community.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
In the competition, Emily found herself facing a strong opponent, Lily. Lily was known for her exceptional skills and had won numerous championships. It was intimidating, but Emily never backed down. Many viewers thought Emily was no match for Lily. As the match began, Emily gathered all her energy and put her training to the test. With each precise shot and swift movements, Emily surprised everyone, including Lily. It was a fierce battle. Finally, with a powerful serve, Emily sent the ball flying across the table. It grazed the edge and landed on the opponent’s side, securing her victory.
After the competition, Emily’s story spread throughout the table tennis community. She became an inspiration to other players, especially those born with defects. More and more players joined the team where she was training. And her coach was proud of her. When training new students, he always used Emily as a good example. “Emily’s story teaches us that limitations can serve as a stepping stone to greatness. It reminds us not to let others define our potential. With a resilient spirit, we can achieve anything we set our hearts on, just like Emily did in the world of table tennis.”
