Anxiety has followed me around like a lost dog looking for a bone for years now. I feel it the most strongly when I’m worried about my health or my daughter’s health. I feel an unusual sensation and all of a sudden: panic! My worries are not limited to health concerns though, and they go in the direction of anxiety about the future of the world, worries about my finances, and fears that I’m not good enough.
Let me go back a few decades, back to when anxiety wasn’t part of my life. When I was a child, I loved art. I drew and I colored because that’s what I enjoyed. I went to college to become an art teacher. When I finished school in May of 2001, I had a part-time design job, and after the event of September 11th, 2001, I knew I needed to travel, to get out of the safe life I was living in my hometown. That’s when my creative practices fell by the wayside.
Luckily, after the birth of my daughter in 2014, the desire to create came back. At first, I was using a tiny corner of a bedroom in our rental house to paint. Eventually we bought a house, and I had the space to spread out, ready to paint whenever the urge struck. That’s when I started noticing something important: Painting stilled me in a way that nothing else did. It eased my fears and anxieties in a way other practice (deep breathing, etc) did not, at least not as consistently. When anxious thoughts start, I know what to do. I head into my studio, grab some materials, and start creating. Soon enough, the worries are gone and instead my mind is quiet.
I think the reason why painting is so helpful for my anxiety is that, in order for me to be anxious, I have to be worrying about the future and what it holds. When I’m doing an activity that requires my full concentration, I have to be in the moment. It doesn’t matter if you’re artistic. The only thing that matters is finding a way to be here, in the now, instead of in the unknowable future.
4. Which word can best describe the writer in paragraph 1
A. Cautious. B. Insecure. C. Considerate. D. Impatient.
5. When did the writer give up on art temporarily
A. After her daughter was born. B. When she studied in college.
C. When she was still a little child. D. After some big event happened.
6. How does painting relieve the writer’s anxiety
A. Painting makes her stay in a place. B. Colors of painting calm her down.
C. Painting is a very creative activity. D. Painting makes less room for worries.
7. What can we learn from the story
A. What is important is to seize the moment. B. Anxiety may sometimes be beneficial to life.
C. It is necessary to learn some art in childhood. D. Painting is the best way to ease people’s mind.
C
Eating insects is one of those ideas that never quite seem to catch on. The United Nations spread the idea a decade ago, but, in the West at least, insects remain mostly absent from supermarket shelves. Faced with an unsatisfied public, scientists have been exploring other options. One is to feed the insects instead to farm animals, which are not so picky.
Of course, the insects need to eat, too. To date, they have mostly reared (饲养) on leftover chicken feed. But the supply of that is limited, and if insect-reared meat is to take off, new sources will be needed. Niels Eriksen, a biochemist at Aalborg University, suggests feeding them on the waste products of the beer industry.
The world knocks back around 185bn litres of beer every year. Each litre produces between three and ten litres of wastewater full of thrown-away grains. The mix is rich in protein but lacking in carbohydrates (碳水化合物), especially compared with chicken feed.
Most insects grown for feed depend, in the wild, on the carbohydrates found in bad fruit. Whether insects would actually consider beer waste a square meal was, therefore, unclear.
The researchers used the baby insects of the black soldier fly. The young insects were divided into three groups, which were offered beer waste, chicken feed or a mixture of both. The researchers monitored both their weight gain and the amount of CO, they produced. They found the baby insects happily consumed both beer waste and chicken feed, and grew equally well on either food source. Dr Eriksen found few differences in how nutritious the insects would be to farm animals.
The experiment may have implications beyond the beer business, too. Bone meal from farms, and waste from other food industries are all likewise plentiful and protein-rich.
All now look to be reasonable targets for nutrient recycling by insects. Whether consumers will be willing to eat insect-reared beef, though, remains to be seen.
8. What is the purpose of Niels Eriksen’s research
A. To find alternatives to chicken feed.
B. To recycle the wastewater in beer industry.
C. To change public’s attitude toward insects.
D. To reduce the consumption of waste products.
9. What is paragraph 6 mainly about
A. The future application of the research. B. The importance of protein in the cycle.
C. The extended influence of the research. D. The contribution of the beer industry.
10. What is the possible food chain described in the article
A. chickens-insects-cows-humans B. humans-beer waste-insects-cows
C. beer waste-insects-cows-humans D. cows-chickens-insects-beer waste
11. What can be a suitable title of the article
A. Waste recycling will be taking off soon
B. Eating insects is the new option for people
C. Insects could help turn beer waste into beef
D. Insects could gain popularity in supermarket
D
AI could make it less necessary to learn foreign languages. That is good news for travelers, bad news for soulful connection.
Travel has long been a motivator for study — unless people start to feel AI tools offer a good-enough service. Some are concerned that apps are turning language acquisition into a dwindling pursuit. Douglas Hofstadter, a writer, has argued that something important will disappear when people talk through machines. He describes giving a hesitant, difficult speech in Mandarin, which required a lot of work but offered a sense of achievement at the end. Who would show off taking a plane to the top of Mount Everest
Others are less worried. Most people do not move abroad or have the kind of sustained contact with a foreign culture that requires them to put in the work to become fluent. Nor do most people learn languages for the purpose of humanizing themselves or training their brains. On their holiday, they just want a beer and pizza.
As AI translation becomes a more popular labour-saving tool, people will divide into two groups. There will be those who want to challenge their minds, put themselves in other cultures or force their thinking into new pathways. This lot will still take on language study, often aided by technology. Others will look at learning a new language with a mix of admiration and confusion, as they might with extreme endurance (忍耐力) sports: “Good for you, if that’s your thing, but a bit painful for my taste.”
But a focus on the learner alone misses the fundamentally social nature of language. It is a bit like analyzing the benefits of close relationships to heart health but overlooking the inner value of those bonds themselves. When you try to ask directions in broken Japanese or make a joke in hesitant German, you are making direct contact with someone. And when you speak a language well enough to tell a story with perfect timing or put subtle (微妙的) shading on an argument, that connection is still deeper.
12 What does the word “dwindling” mean in paragraph 2
A. Growing. B. Lasting. C. Declining. D. Challenging.
13. What is the underlined part “taking a helicopter to the top of Mount Everest” compared to
A. Using AI tools to do the translation.
B. Doing the work that gives you satisfaction.
C. Making effort to learn a new language.
D. Studying a language aided by technology.
14. Which of the following will the “Others” in paragraph 4 agree with
A. People should stretch their minds in life.
B. AI translation tools offer a good service.
C. Extreme endurance sports are worth trying.
D. Language learning builds deep connection.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A Language learning benefits learners alone.
B. Language learning is of value to human health.
C. We should reflect on language learning methods.
D. We should adopt a new angle on language learning.

What comes to mind when you think about chocolate A candy bar at Halloween Ice cream on a hot day
For Ibrahim, a 12-year-old boy from the West African country of Ghana, chocolate is not about sweet treats; it is about bitter work. ____16____ But if they did, we would learn that Ibrahim spends his days growing and harvesting cocoa beans, from which chocolate is made. We would also learn that he is just one of more than two million children who perform this difficult labour instead of attending school.
To change the harmful practices like this, some farms use an approach called Fairtrade. ____17____ It aims to create a different relationship between buyers (chocolate companies) and sellers (cocoa farmers) by encouraging farmers to join together to form a shared business called a cooperative. Because farmers work together instead of competing with each other, they can demand a higher price from the buyers. ____18____
Consumers like you can play a role as well. You can buy Fairtrade chocolate if possible, pressure candy companies to change their labour practices, or ask local stores to sell Fairtrade products. ____19____ It is a programme recognizing schools that provide Fairtrade products in cafeterias or include related lessons in curriculum (课程).
Chocolate has a hidden story that affects children like Ibrahim-children who want a happy future just like you do. ____20____ By enjoying Fairtrade products or simply spreading the word, you can make chocolate as sweet for all children as it is for you.
A. You have the power to change the story.
B. The labels on chocolate do not tell his story.
C. Fairtrade is a way of doing business that prohibits child labour.
D. You can also take action through the Fairtrade Schools network.
E. On many farms children like Ibrahim perform difficult farming tasks.
F. Cocoa trees grow in the tropical climates of Africa, Latin America and South-East Asia.
G. With more income, farmers can pay adult workers and can send their children to school.

Then last summer, Elizabeth, who grew up in a nearby town, ____29____ John with an idea. She offered to raise money to buy the store, with the goal of ____30____ it into a sustainable social enterprise. Thus, Elizabeth turned to local residents and people ____31____. Local residents, as well as people with ____32____ to the town, donated.
In a matter of months, the community ____33____ half a million dollars, which was enough for them to ____34____ the property and renew the store.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At the end of my junior year, election for student body officers caused quite an excitement among students. It appeared that Debbie would run unopposed for president. Talking among a group of dissatisfied girls, I whispered, “There must be someone who’d run against her.”
Suddenly Liz focused her attention on me. “Why not you ”
“Me No way. I work after school. I can’t stay for all those meetings. ”
My closest friend, Linda, smiled, “Why not Just think how great our senior year would be! You could get a real senior trip approved and get better bands for the dances. ”
My little group continued to ignore my protests as they imagined the wonderful changes I could make. By the end of the week, they’d gotten enough signatures to put my name on the ballot (选票).
Debbie and I had very different campaign styles. Because I was always skipping around, I earned the name “Rabbit”. Signs soon appeared around campus with the slogan (口号) “Make your votes count with Rabbit!” My platform aimed for more fun and less restrictions. We wore uniforms and I advocated more free dress days and a broader interpretation of what was acceptable on regular dress days.
My opponent, on the other hand, avoided any implication of silliness on her posters. Catchy slogans had no place in her serious campaign. What she offered was the opening Lawn to all students and a reformatting of the yearbook that would mix ninth through twelfth graders rather than highlight seniors in oversized photos. Gone would be the yearbook with seniors’ quotes and many exciting activities. Lowerclassmen (低年级生) loved Debbie’s idea; would-be seniors, however, were angry.
My classmates supported me and were confident they could persuade enough lowerclassmen to vote my way. Each day I got reports of a few more of lowerclassmen coming to my side.
On election day, I felt fairly confident. I was even looking forward to quitting my job and focusing on school politics.
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。
However, by the end of the day, the votes were counted and Debbie was declared the winner.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That’s when I noticed my teacher Mr. Laskey, who turned to me and smiled. “Congratulations!”

Anxiety has followed me around like a lost dog looking for a bone for years now. I feel it the most strongly when I’m worried about my health or my daughter’s health. I feel an unusual sensation and all of a sudden: panic! My worries are not limited to health concerns though, and they go in the direction of anxiety about the future of the world, worries about my finances, and fears that I’m not good enough.
Let me go back a few decades, back to when anxiety wasn’t part of my life. When I was a child, I loved art. I drew and I colored because that’s what I enjoyed. I went to college to become an art teacher. When I finished school in May of 2001, I had a part-time design job, and after the event of September 11th, 2001, I knew I needed to travel, to get out of the safe life I was living in my hometown. That’s when my creative practices fell by the wayside.
Luckily, after the birth of my daughter in 2014, the desire to create came back. At first, I was using a tiny corner of a bedroom in our rental house to paint. Eventually we bought a house, and I had the space to spread out, ready to paint whenever the urge struck. That’s when I started noticing something important: Painting stilled me in a way that nothing else did. It eased my fears and anxieties in a way other practice (deep breathing, etc) did not, at least not as consistently. When anxious thoughts start, I know what to do. I head into my studio, grab some materials, and start creating. Soon enough, the worries are gone and instead my mind is quiet.
I think the reason why painting is so helpful for my anxiety is that, in order for me to be anxious, I have to be worrying about the future and what it holds. When I’m doing an activity that requires my full concentration, I have to be in the moment. It doesn’t matter if you’re artistic. The only thing that matters is finding a way to be here, in the now, instead of in the unknowable future.
4. Which word can best describe the writer in paragraph 1
A. Cautious. B. Insecure. C. Considerate. D. Impatient.
5. When did the writer give up on art temporarily
A. After her daughter was born. B. When she studied in college.
C. When she was still a little child. D. After some big event happened.
6 How does painting relieve the writer’s anxiety
A. Painting makes her stay in a place. B. Colors of painting calm her down.
C. Painting is a very creative activity. D. Painting makes less room for worries.
7. What can we learn from the story
A. What is important is to seize the moment. B. Anxiety may sometimes be beneficial to life.
C. It is necessary to learn some art in childhood. D. Painting is the best way to ease people’s mind.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者曾经缺乏安全感，很焦虑。直到作者重新开始绘画，慢慢找回了平静。

Eating insects is one of those ideas that never quite seem to catch on. The United Nations spread the idea a decade ago, but, in the West at least, insects remain mostly absent from supermarket shelves. Faced with an unsatisfied public, scientists have been exploring other options. One is to feed the insects instead to farm animals, which are not so picky.
Of course, the insects need to eat, too. To date, they have mostly reared (饲养) on leftover chicken feed. But the supply of that is limited, and if insect-reared meat is to take off, new sources will be needed. Niels Eriksen, a biochemist at Aalborg University, suggests feeding them on the waste products of the beer industry.
The world knocks back around 185bn litres of beer every year. Each litre produces between three and ten litres of wastewater full of thrown-away grains. The mix is rich in protein but lacking in carbohydrates (碳水化合物), especially compared with chicken feed.
Most insects grown for feed depend, in the wild, on the carbohydrates found in bad fruit. Whether insects would actually consider beer waste a square meal was, therefore, unclear.
The researchers used the baby insects of the black soldier fly. The young insects were divided into three groups, which were offered beer waste, chicken feed or a mixture of both. The researchers monitored both their weight gain and the amount of CO, they produced. They found the baby insects happily consumed both beer waste and chicken feed, and grew equally well on either food source. Dr Eriksen found few differences in how nutritious the insects would be to farm animals.
The experiment may have implications beyond the beer business, too. Bone meal from farms, and waste from other food industries are all likewise plentiful and protein-rich.
All now look to be reasonable targets for nutrient recycling by insects. Whether consumers will be willing to eat insect-reared beef, though, remains to be seen.
8. What is the purpose of Niels Eriksen’s research
A. To find alternatives to chicken feed.
B. To recycle the wastewater in beer industry.
C. To change public’s attitude toward insects.
D. To reduce the consumption of waste products.
9. What is paragraph 6 mainly about
A. The future application of the research. B. The importance of protein in the cycle.
C. The extended influence of the research. D. The contribution of the beer industry.
10. What is the possible food chain described in the article
A. chickens-insects-cows-humans B. humans-beer waste-insects-cows
C. beer waste-insects-cows-humans D. cows-chickens-insects-beer waste
11. What can be a suitable title of the article
A. Waste recycling will be taking off soon
B. Eating insects is the new option for people
C. Insects could help turn beer waste into beef
D. Insects could gain popularity in supermarket
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. C

AI could make it less necessary to learn foreign languages. That is good news for travelers, bad news for soulful connection.
Travel has long been a motivator for study — unless people start to feel AI tools offer a good-enough service. Some are concerned that apps are turning language acquisition into a dwindling pursuit. Douglas Hofstadter, a writer, has argued that something important will disappear when people talk through machines. He describes giving a hesitant, difficult speech in Mandarin, which required a lot of work but offered a sense of achievement at the end. Who would show off taking a plane to the top of Mount Everest
Others are less worried. Most people do not move abroad or have the kind of sustained contact with a foreign culture that requires them to put in the work to become fluent. Nor do most people learn languages for the purpose of humanizing themselves or training their brains. On their holiday, they just want a beer and pizza.
As AI translation becomes a more popular labour-saving tool, people will divide into two groups. There will be those who want to challenge their minds, put themselves in other cultures or force their thinking into new pathways. This lot will still take on language study, often aided by technology. Others will look at learning a new language with a mix of admiration and confusion, as they might with extreme endurance (忍耐力) sports: “Good for you, if that’s your thing, but a bit painful for my taste.”
But a focus on the learner alone misses the fundamentally social nature of language. It is a bit like analyzing the benefits of close relationships to heart health but overlooking the inner value of those bonds themselves. When you try to ask directions in broken Japanese or make a joke in hesitant German, you are making direct contact with someone. And when you speak a language well enough to tell a story with perfect timing or put subtle (微妙的) shading on an argument, that connection is still deeper.
12. What does the word “dwindling” mean in paragraph 2
A. Growing. B. Lasting. C. Declining. D. Challenging.
13. What is the underlined part “taking a helicopter to the top of Mount Everest” compared to
A. Using AI tools to do the translation.
B. Doing the work that gives you satisfaction.
C. Making effort to learn a new language.
D. Studying a language aided by technology.
14. Which of the following will the “Others” in paragraph 4 agree with
A. People should stretch their minds in life.
B. AI translation tools offer a good service.
C. Extreme endurance sports are worth trying.
D. Language learning builds deep connection.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Language learning benefits learners alone.
B. Language learning is of value to human health.
C. We should reflect on language learning methods.
D. We should adopt a new angle on language learning.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了在人工智能可以降低学习外语的必要性这一议题上，一部分人充满担心，认为这会让一些重要的东西消失，有些人则因为没有对语言的需求而不那么担心。人工智能翻译的普及同时也会将人分化成两部分，一部分人会挑战自己继续学习语言，另一部分人则会选择不再学习。文章指出不应该仅从学习者的角度看待语言学习，其本身的内在价值更值得关注。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句的上文“Travel has long been a motivator for study — unless people start to feel AI tools offer a good-enough service. (长期以来，旅行一直是学习的动力——除非人们开始觉得人工智能工具提供了足够好的服务)”可知，此处介绍人工智能工具对人们学习语言的动力的负面影响。由此推知，划线词所在句表示“一些人会担心应用程序正在把语言学习变成一种越来越少的追求”，dwindling意思应该是“越来越少的”，与declining意思一致。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Douglas Hofstadter, a writer, has argued that something important will disappear when people talk through machines. He describes giving a hesitant, difficult speech in Mandarin, which required a lot of work but offered a sense of achievement at the end. Who would show off taking a plane to the top of Mount Everest (作家Douglas Hofstadter认为，当人们通过机器交谈时，一些重要的东西将会消失。他描述了用普通话做一次犹豫的、困难的演讲，需要做很多工作，但最后会有一种成就感。谁会炫耀自己坐飞机登上了珠穆朗玛峰呢？)”可知，Douglas Hofstadter的描述突出了学习语言伴随着的挑战自我、战胜自我的成就感，但是人们通过机器交谈的话，就无法体会这种感觉。由此可知，“坐飞机登上了珠穆朗玛峰”就好比“使用人工智能工具进行翻译”，前者缺失的是参与登山带来的成就感，后者缺失的是参与语言学习带来的成就感。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Others will look at learning a new language with a mix of admiration and confusion, as they might with extreme endurance (忍耐力) sports: “Good for you, if that’s your thing, but a bit painful for my taste.” (其他人会带着钦佩和困惑看待学习一门新语言，就像他们看待极限耐力运动一样：‘如果你喜欢的话，对你来说很好，但对我来说有点痛苦。’)”可知，这一类人会认为学习一门新语言令人钦佩，但是不适合自己，没有必要尝试。由此可知，他们会同意“人工智能翻译工具提供了很好的服务”的观点。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But a focus on the learner alone misses the fundamentally social nature of language. It is a bit like analyzing the benefits of close relationships to heart health but overlooking the inner value of those bonds themselves. When you try to ask directions in broken Japanese or make a joke in hesitant German, you are making direct contact with someone. And when you speak a language well enough to tell a story with perfect timing or put subtle (微妙的) shading on an argument, that connection is still deeper. (但是，仅仅关注学习者就忽略了语言的基本社会性质。这有点像分析亲密关系对心脏健康的好处，但忽视了这些关系本身的内在价值。当你试图用蹩脚的日语问路或用犹豫的德语讲笑话时，你是在与某人直接接触。当你的语言说得足够好，可以用完美的时机讲述一个故事，或者在一个论点上添加微妙的细微差别，这种联系就会更深。)”可知，我们不能仅关注学习者，语言本身的内在价值更值得关注，学习语言会加深我们与他人之间的联系。由此可知，我们应该从新的角度看待语言学习。故选D项。

For Ibrahim, a 12-year-old boy from the West African country of Ghana, chocolate is not about sweet treats; it is about bitter work. ____16____ But if they did, we would learn that Ibrahim spends his days growing and harvesting cocoa beans, from which chocolate is made. We would also learn that he is just one of more than two million children who perform this difficult labour instead of attending school.
To change the harmful practices like this, some farms use an approach called Fairtrade. ____17____ It aims to create a different relationship between buyers (chocolate companies) and sellers (cocoa farmers) by encouraging farmers to join together to form a shared business called a cooperative. Because farmers work together instead of competing with each other, they can demand a higher price from the buyers. ____18____
Consumers like you can play a role as well. You can buy Fairtrade chocolate if possible, pressure candy companies to change their labour practices, or ask local stores to sell Fairtrade products. ____19____ It is a programme recognizing schools that provide Fairtrade products in cafeterias or include related lessons in curriculum (课程).
Chocolate has a hidden story that affects children like Ibrahim-children who want a happy future just like you do. ____20____ By enjoying Fairtrade products or simply spreading the word, you can make chocolate as sweet for all children as it is for you.
A. You have the power to change the story.
B. The labels on chocolate do not tell his story.
C. Fairtrade is a way of doing business that prohibits child labour.
D. You can also take action through the Fairtrade Schools network.
E. On many farms, children like Ibrahim perform difficult farming tasks.
F. Cocoa trees grow in the tropical climates of Africa, Latin America and South-East Asia.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个由北京师范大学学生倡导的一个非盈利项目，即在青海省兴海县给孩子们上电影赏析课，以促进艺术和文化的发展。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意：23岁的北京师范大学学生陈四方在青海省星海县给孩子们上电影鉴赏课，以促进艺术和文化的发展。根据movie可知，此处用提示词的名词形式appreciation表示电影“鉴赏”课，作定语。故填appreciation。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：该课程是一个非营利性项目的一部分，大学生在假期到偏远地区做志愿者，给当地儿童上艺术和文化课。分析句式结构可知，此处是限定性定语从句，先行词project是抽象地点，且从句中缺少地点状语，所以用关系副词where来引导。故填where。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：该项目于今年7月启动，历时近一个月，已派出100多名大学生前往6个地区。分析句式结构可知，此处用非谓语动词作状语，又因为launch和主语the project之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词作状语。故填Launched。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：陈回忆说，志愿者讲师从西宁到平均海拔3900米的西宁县花了6个小时。根据上文的took和six hours可知，此处用动词不定式构成固定搭配it takes+时间+to do sth表示“花费时间做某事”。故填to travel。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意：同上。根据下文名词altitude可知，是可数名词，此处表泛指，且average发音以元音音素开头，所以用不定冠词an。 故填an。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意：当公交车驶近时，他们看到了湛蓝的天空、广阔的草原和漫游的牛群，这让他们感到神清气爽。根据空格前的系动词feel可知，此处用提示词的形容词形式refreshed作表语表示“神清气爽的”。故填refreshed。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意：在咨询了其他志愿者后，陈选择了30部电影作为指导材料，为当地三所小学和两所初中的近70名学生提供指导。根据上文的selected可知，此处用介词as与之搭配表示选择电影“作为”指导材料。故填as。
【43题详解】
考查代词。句意：有趣的是，陈发现一个小女孩说张艺谋的一部电影是她最喜欢的，因为两个主角之间的爱情故事和她父母的相似。分析句意可知，空格处指代的是上文the romance，所以应该用that来特指上文提到的同一类事物。故填that。
【44题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：“我以前从来没有上过这样的课。”14岁的杨成燕说，因为这门课，她现在正全神贯注地阅读刘慈欣的科幻小说，刘慈欣是《流浪地球》的作者。分析句意再根据提示词可知，此处用固定短语be absorbed in表示“全神贯注于”，本句的时态可以用一般现在时来陈述一般情况，又因为主语是第三人称单数，所以be动词用is；又因为本句还可以理解为她一直“全神贯注”，所以本句的时态还可以用现在完成时表示动作的持续。故填is absorbed或has been absorbed。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意：一部电影可以真正在他们的生活中留下印记。分析句式结构可知，修饰动词leave应该用副词，所以此处用提示词的副词形式truly作状语。故填truly。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At the end of my junior year, election for student body officers caused quite an excitement among students. It appeared that Debbie would run unopposed for president. Talking among a group of dissatisfied girls, I whispered, “There must be someone who’d run against her.”
Suddenly Liz focused her attention on me. “Why not you ”
“Me No way. I work after school. I can’t stay for all those meetings. ”
My closest friend, Linda, smiled, “Why not Just think how great our senior year would be! You could get a real senior trip approved and get better bands for the dances. ”
My little group continued to ignore my protests as they imagined the wonderful changes I could make. By the end of the week, they’d gotten enough signatures to put my name on the ballot (选票).
Debbie and I had very different campaign styles. Because I was always skipping around, I earned the name “Rabbit”. Signs soon appeared around campus with the slogan (口号) “Make your votes count with Rabbit!” My platform aimed for more fun and less restrictions. We wore uniforms and I advocated more free dress days and a broader interpretation of what was acceptable on regular dress days.
My opponent, on the other hand, avoided any implication of silliness on her posters. Catchy slogans had no place in her serious campaign. What she offered was the opening Lawn to all students and a reformatting of the yearbook that would mix ninth through twelfth graders rather than highlight seniors in oversized photos. Gone would be the yearbook with seniors’ quotes and many exciting activities. Lowerclassmen (低年级生) loved Debbie’s idea; would-be seniors, however, were angry.
My classmates supported me and were confident they could persuade enough lowerclassmen to vote my way. Each day I got reports of a few more of lowerclassmen coming to my side.
On election day, I felt fairly confident. I was even looking forward to quitting my job and focusing on school politics.
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。
However, by the end of the day, the votes were counted and Debbie was declared the winner.

That’s when I noticed my teacher Mr. Laskey, who turned to me and smiled. “Congratulations!”
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 However, by the end of the day, the votes were counted and Debbie was declared the winner. And I had only one vote less than Debbie! Disappointment seized me! At the same time, I felt ashamed of myself, for I had pictured more than once to defeat Debbie, and I had been thinking my platform had more advantages. What’s more, my classmates were so supportive to me. How could I face them I rushed to the library and found a corner, sitting alone, weeping and lost in a bad mood.
That’s when I noticed my teacher Mr. Laskey, who turned to me and smiled. “Congratulations!” Hearing this, I was totally at sea. Mr. Laskey stroked my head, saying gently, “I admire you for being so courageous to challenge yourself! There is no doubt that Debbie is outstanding, but so are you! You are absolutely promising!” Greatly encouraged, I wiped my tears, bidding farewell to Mr. Laskey and walking confidently to my supporters. Though I didn’t become president, I was still excited to be one of the student body officers. I thanked them, and decided to serve both juniors and seniors wholeheartedly.
