Germany may be famous for its wealth of history and culture, but it also houses some of Europe's most wild and wonderful landscapes.
Jasmund National Park
It lies on the west coast of the offshore island of Rugen. This UNESCO-protected site is the smallest of Germany's national parks. It is here that painter Caspar David Friedrich found himself inspired to create one of his masterpieces Chalk Cliffs on Rugen, in 1818. Here long trails can take you all the way to the Rugen coastline, where white-sand beaches and blue waters wait.
Berchtesgaden National Park
Berchtesgaden is one of Germany's oldest and most beautiful conservation areas. Trails go in and out of the forest leading you along the banks of glassy lakes. The more adventurous visitors may choose paragliding (滑翔伞运动) from Mount Jenner and they can fly over 1,800 meters. Back on the ground a network of more than 150 miles of walking trails twist through the forest.
Southern Black Forest Nature Park
The highland areas, with views over Switzerland and France are a good place for food-lovers. Activities in the park range from hiking and fishing to mountain biking, while the slower traveller will enjoy the trails for an escape from everyday life.
The Bliesgau Biosphere
This place is home to almost half of all German orchid (兰花) species. The grasslands spread for miles, drawing in different butterflies. Thanks to its comfortable climate, this is a region of sustainable development. In fact, this park is an example of farming done right and offers agricultural tricks to anyone eager to learn.

Years ago, I had to travel a lot as part of work. Locked in my depressing world then, I lived as a robot working in a mechanical way every day.
On one of my work trips, I went to take a bus downtown as usual. Unexpectedly, there was a beautifully landscaped space that I had never seen before. The bus came along but I let it go past because I wanted more time to enjoy the landscape. Finally, the next bus approached and I got on that one.
After a while, a boy carrying lots of bags was seated next to me. Watching how he was accommodating his stuff, I was thinking how annoyed he must be at having to manage so much stuff. Just then, he gave me the most sincere smile I had seen from a stranger. He said "Hi! The perfect day in the perfect place, huh " "Perfect day!" I answered, distracted by his shining smile and started to chat with him.
"Homeless since 10 years old, I lived on the street, but I've been lucky because I've known many people who have been kind to me." He said simply. Hearing this, I couldn't say a word. "Now I'm on my way to the army school where my deceased grandfather studied a long time ago." He smiled and told me for 10 years he had only one thing on his mind, to join the army like his grandpa. "I will follow my dream and every day I will be happy." He said calmly.
At this point, the bus had reached his stop. Taking his luggage, he waved goodbye to me with a big smile. Choked up with emotion, I forced a smile and shook his hands tightly. Never would I have imagined such a young homeless boy could change my perspective towards life during one short bus ride. From then on, whatever I encountered, I always try to do everything with my best smile on my face.
4. How does the author feel about his life before coming across the boy
A. Satisfied. B. Frustrated. C. Optimistic. D. Concerned.
5. Why did the author let the previous bus go past
A. To appreciate the beautiful view. B. To take a break at the stop.
C. To wait for the homeless boy. D. To chat with a passer-by.
6. What does the underlined word "accommodating" in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Purchasing. B. Carrying. C. Checking. D. Placing.
7. What can we learn from the text
A. The boy was 10 years old when they met. B. The boy was annoyed at his heavy luggage.
C. The author got motivated from the young boy. D. The boy's grandfather anticipated him joining the army.

Having a personal trainer is one of the best ways to stay on track with your workouts, push your limits and try new things. But it often costs more than $100 a class, and getting to and from the gym can take up a lot of time.
Over the past ten years fitness apps have been trying to copy the personal training experience exactly, and in recent years many have included artificial intelligence (AI) to create workouts. A growing number of products offer personalized works that match your abilities, goals and equipment you have, which usually cost around $100 a year.
However, some experts warn that while AI fitness apps are useful for many exercisers, they’re not the right fit for everyone.
AI fitness apps create personalized training programs using information from personal users and the experiences of other users.
In the future, these apps could collect even more information to give ever more personalized feedback (反馈), said futurist David Brin. But, he added, more information doesn’t always lead to better advice. “What you need to consider is whether the advice will actually be good for you, in the long run,” he said.
Furthermore, computers can learn a lot about different workout routines, but they can’t yet create the social interactions that make the training successful, said Nikola Banovic, professor of computer science and engineering at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of the University of Michigan.
The AI fitness apps we have now can’t offer encouragement or provide comfort on a bad day. “As humans, we need more than just the workouts that will get us to our goals,” Dr Banovic said. “We need to be encouraged — that’s something only a real trainer can do right now. It will be some time before AI training does this well.”
8. What is the main advantage of AI fitness apps over personal trainers
A. Requiring less exercise equipment.
B. Offering coaching services at a lower price,
C. Creating more personalized training plans.
D. Providing a better personal training experience.
9. What may David Brin agree with
A. Users should work harder to protect their personal information.
B. AI fitness apps should find more tools for collecting information.
C. Users should be careful with the advice offered by AI fitness apps.
D. AI fitness apps should be improved to meet the needs of every user.
10. What should future AI fitness apps focus on
A. Setting achievable goals.
B. Adding live chat services.
C. Learning new workout routines.
D. Developing useful interactions.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. How do AI fitness apps change the way you exercise
B. Would an AI trainer be better than a real trainer
C. Can AI trainers take the place of the real one
D. How do experts feel about an AI trainer
D
Washing machines are one of the greatest inventions of the last few centuries.They have made life easier. Unfortunately, washing machines also contribute to the environmental issues of energy use and micro-plastics flowing into the oceans. That is why the washing machine manufacturer (制造商), Samsung, and the outdoor-wear company, Patagonia, are working together to make a change.
For Patagonia, the issue of micro-plastics has been on its mind for years — its woolen jackets release many microfibers. As for Samsung, new requirements throughout the world have forced many producers to start thinking about ways to help reduce the number of micro-plastics. There are currently more than 14 million tons of micro-plastics floating in the oceans. Though people previously think of things such as plastic bottles and fishing lines when it comes to plastics in the ocean, thousands of micro-plastics are released into seas with every wash.
The issue is a sort of catch-22. In order to reduce energy costs, manufacturers try to make their machines more efficient. These machines use hotter water and are designed to create more friction (摩擦) between the clothing in the machine. However, both of these things lead to the release of more micro-plastics. So, using Patagonia clothes as test cases, Samsung came up with a two-fold solution: One is a technology called Eco-bubbles, which creates more bubbles to make the detergent (洗涤剂) more powerful, and the other is a water purifier that can filter (过滤) out more micro-plastics.
The cooperation between the two companies is proof of how complicated protecting the environment can be. On the one hand, clothing that is well-constructed and durable is a weapon in the fight against fast fashion. On the other hand, the material used to make those clothes and the way they are washed can also add pollutants to the environment.The same goes for washing machines. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. The fight against climate change requires creative thinking and learning how to attack a problem from many angles. This will certainly lead to even more strange and fruitful cooperation between the environmentally conscious companies.
12. What is Samsung’s purpose in partnering the outdoor clothing company
A. To limit the use of micro-plastics.
B. To solve the issue of energy waste.
C. To find a solution to micro-plastic pollution.
D. To produce high-efficiency washing machines.
13. What does the underlined word “catch-22” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. A tricky situation. B. A questionable fact.
C. A possible dream. D. A practical method.
14. Which of the following will reduce the release of micro-plastics during washing
A. Using hotter water.
B. Creating more friction.
C. Using powerful detergents.
D. Adding a water purifier to washing machines.
15. What does the cooperation between the two companies show
A. The difficulty in fighting against fast fashion.
B. The complexity of environment conservation.
C. The influence of humans’ active action.
D. The importance of creative thinking.

Debra, a five-year-old cousin of mine, often annoyed me. She wished me to stay with her, talk to her and teach her dancing. I hated it and never taught her to dance. That hot July afternoon, Debra annoyed me again.
Our big family all gathered together at a friend’s outdoor wedding. The children were running around and playing games. The afternoon couldn’t have been better. My friends and I gathered together and excitedly talked about our up-and-coming freshman year. Debra desired to join us, but what could a five-year-old kid contribute to our conversations
I left the table where we were sitting, leaving behind my mother, my grandmother and Debra. I walked inside the house and greeted everyone inside before making my way to the bathroom. As I was washing my hands, there was a big knock and the bathroom door burst open. It was an older cousin of mine, Sylvia. With a look of fear, anxiety and shock, she rushed to find towels. I figured one of the kids was injured while playing. “There has been a bad accident outside,” she told me and rushed out.
What kind of accident Was anyone hurt I left the bathroom. A woman approached and told me that a guest who was leaving the party had lost control of his car. Then I heard a voice calling my name. It was my mother. She told me, “Debra has been badly e and help rescue her!” My heart dropped to my feet. I was struck by the sudden thought that I might lose her.
I hurried outside. Tables and chairs were overturned everywhere by the runaway car. I was in shock. My mother quickly drove our car around and laid down the backseat. But where was Debra I saw her parents running from a room with a piece of board, perfectly Debra’s size. I didn’t see my tiny cousin until she was put onto the board and laid in the car, crying. Her new white dress had blood, and on her left shoe was a tire (轮胎) mark.

Years ago, I had to travel a lot as part of work. Locked in my depressing world then, I lived as a robot working in a mechanical way every day.
On one of my work trips, I went to take a bus downtown as usual. Unexpectedly, there was a beautifully landscaped space that I had never seen before. The bus came along but I let it go past because I wanted more time to enjoy the landscape. Finally, the next bus approached and I got on that one.
After a while, a boy carrying lots of bags was seated next to me. Watching how he was accommodating his stuff, I was thinking how annoyed he must be at having to manage so much stuff. Just then, he gave me the most sincere smile I had seen from a stranger. He said "Hi! The perfect day in the perfect place, huh " "Perfect day!" I answered, distracted by his shining smile and started to chat with him.
"Homeless since 10 years old, I lived on the street, but I've been lucky because I've known many people who have been kind to me." He said simply. Hearing this, I couldn't say a word. "Now I'm on my way to the army school where my deceased grandfather studied a long time ago." He smiled and told me for 10 years he had only one thing on his mind, to join the army like his grandpa. "I will follow my dream and every day I will be happy." He said calmly.
At this point, the bus had reached his stop. Taking his luggage, he waved goodbye to me with a big smile. Choked up with emotion, I forced a smile and shook his hands tightly. Never would I have imagined such a young homeless boy could change my perspective towards life during one short bus ride. From then on, whatever I encountered, I always try to do everything with my best smile on my face.
4. How does the author feel about his life before coming across the boy
A. Satisfied. B. Frustrated. C. Optimistic. D. Concerned.
5. Why did the author let the previous bus go past
A. To appreciate the beautiful view. B. To take a break at the stop.
C. To wait for the homeless boy. D. To chat with a passer-by.
6. What does the underlined word "accommodating" in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Purchasing. B. Carrying. C. Checking. D. Placing.
7. What can we learn from the text
A. The boy was 10 years old when they met. B. The boy was annoyed at his heavy luggage.
C. The author got motivated from the young boy. D. The boy's grandfather anticipated him joining the army.

Having a personal trainer is one of the best ways to stay on track with your workouts, push your limits and try new things. But it often costs more than $100 a class, and getting to and from the gym can take up a lot of time.
Over the past ten years, fitness apps have been trying to copy the personal training experience exactly, and in recent years many have included artificial intelligence (AI) to create workouts. A growing number of products offer personalized works that match your abilities, goals and equipment you have, which usually cost around $100 a year.
However, some experts warn that while AI fitness apps are useful for many exercisers, they’re not the right fit for everyone.
AI fitness apps create personalized training programs using information from personal users and the experiences of other users.
In the future, these apps could collect even more information to give ever more personalized feedback (反馈), said futurist David Brin. But, he added, more information doesn’t always lead to better advice. “What you need to consider is whether the advice will actually be good for you, in the long run,” he said.
Furthermore, computers can learn a lot about different workout routines, but they can’t yet create the social interactions that make the training successful, said Nikola Banovic, professor of computer science and engineering at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of the University of Michigan.
The AI fitness apps we have now can’t offer encouragement or provide comfort on a bad day. “As humans we need more than just the workouts that will get us to our goals,” Dr Banovic said. “We need to be encouraged — that’s something only a real trainer can do right now. It will be some time before AI training does this well.”
8. What is the main advantage of AI fitness apps over personal trainers
A. Requiring less exercise equipment.
B. Offering coaching services at a lower price,
C. Creating more personalized training plans.
D. Providing a better personal training experience.
9. What may David Brin agree with
A. Users should work harder to protect their personal information.
B. AI fitness apps should find more tools for collecting information.
C. Users should be careful with the advice offered by AI fitness apps.
D. AI fitness apps should be improved to meet the needs of every user.
10. What should future AI fitness apps focus on
A. Setting achievable goals.
B. Adding live chat services.
C. Learning new workout routines.
D. Developing useful interactions.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. How do AI fitness apps change the way you exercise
B. Would an AI trainer be better than a real trainer
C. Can AI trainers take the place of the real one
D. How do experts feel about an AI trainer
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了近年来健身应用程序一直试图准确复制个人训练体验,并且许多应用程序将人工智能用于创建锻炼,但一些专家认为人工智能健身应用程序并不适用于所有人。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Having a personal trainer is one of the best ways to stay on track with your workouts, push your limits and try new things. But it often costs more than $100 a class, and getting to and from the gym can take up a lot of time.(有一位私人教练是保持训练正轨、突破极限和尝试新事物的最佳方式之一。但一节课的费用通常超过100美元,而且往返健身房可能会占用很多时间)”和第二段中的“A growing number of products offer personalized works that match your abilities, goals and equipment you have, which usually cost around $100 a year.(越来越多的产品提供与你的能力、目标和设备相匹配的个性化作品,通常每年花费约100美元)”可推测出,人工智能健身应用程序比私人教练有优势的是它能够以低价提供教练服务。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“But, he added, more information doesn’t always lead to better advice. ‘What you need to consider is whether the advice will actually be good for you, in the long run,’ he said.(但他补充道,更多的信息并不总是能带来更好的建议。他说:‘从长远来看,你需要考虑的是这些建议是否真的对你有好处。’)”可知,David Brin认为人工智能健身应用程序虽然收集了更多的信息,但这并不意味着它能提供更好的建议,用户需要考虑这些建议是否对自己有好处。由此可推测出,用户要对人工智能健身应用程序提供的建议保持慎重。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Furthermore, computers can learn a lot about different workout routines, but they can’t yet create the social interactions that make the training successful, said Nikola Banovic, professor of computer science and engineering at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of the University of Michigan.(此外,密歇根大学人工智能实验室的计算机科学与工程教授Nikola Banovic说,计算机可以学习很多关于不同锻炼动作的知识,但它们还不能创造出使训练成功的社交互动)”和最后一段中的“We need to be encouraged — that’s something only a real trainer can do right now. It will be some time before AI training does this well.(我们需要得到鼓励——这是现在只有真正的教练才能做到的事情。人工智能训练要做到这一点还需要一段时间)”可知,人工智能应用程序缺乏和人进行社交互动的功能,要做到这一点还需要时间,而人类需要在锻炼中得到鼓励。由此可推测出,未来人工智能应用程序应该关注开发有用的互动功能。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。本文首先在第一段讲述了私人教练对训练的好处以及私人教练的缺点,接着在第二段中的“Over the past ten years, fitness apps have been trying to copy the personal training experience exactly, and in recent years many have included artificial intelligence (AI) to create workouts.(在过去的十年里,健身应用程序一直试图准确地复制个人训练体验,近年来,许多应用程序都将人工智能(AI)用于创建训练)”和第三段“However, some experts warn that while AI fitness apps are useful for many exercisers, they’re not the right fit for everyone.(然而,一些专家警告说,虽然人工智能健身应用程序对许多锻炼者有用,但它们并不适合所有人)”指出,近年来出现了人工智能健身应用程序,并提到专家认为人工智能健身应用程序不适用于所有人。通读全文可知,本文主要围绕人工智能健身应用程序展开论述。由此可推测出,B项“人工智能教练会比真正的教练更好吗?”最适合作本文标题。故选B。
D
Washing machines are one of the greatest inventions of the last few centuries.They have made life easier. Unfortunately, washing machines also contribute to the environmental issues of energy use and micro-plastics flowing into the oceans. That is why the washing machine manufacturer (制造商), Samsung, and the outdoor-wear company, Patagonia, are working together to make a change.
For Patagonia, the issue of micro-plastics has been on its mind for years — its woolen jackets release many microfibers. As for Samsung, new requirements throughout the world have forced many producers to start thinking about ways to help reduce the number of micro-plastics. There are currently more than 14 million tons of micro-plastics floating in the oceans. Though people previously think of things such as plastic bottles and fishing lines when it comes to plastics in the ocean, thousands of micro-plastics are released into seas with every wash.
The issue is a sort of catch-22. In order to reduce energy costs, manufacturers try to make their machines more efficient. These machines use hotter water and are designed to create more friction (摩擦) between the clothing in the machine. However, both of these things lead to the release of more micro-plastics. So, using Patagonia clothes as test cases, Samsung came up with a two-fold solution: One is a technology called Eco-bubbles, which creates more bubbles to make the detergent (洗涤剂) more powerful, and the other is a water purifier that can filter (过滤) out more micro-plastics.
The cooperation between the two companies is proof of how complicated protecting the environment can be. On the one hand, clothing that is well-constructed and durable is a weapon in the fight against fast fashion. On the other hand, the material used to make those clothes and the way they are washed can also add pollutants to the environment.The same goes for washing machines. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. The fight against climate change requires creative thinking and learning how to attack a problem from many angles. This will certainly lead to even more strange and fruitful cooperation between the environmentally conscious companies.
12. What is Samsung’s purpose in partnering the outdoor clothing company
A. To limit the use of micro-plastics.
B. To solve the issue of energy waste.
C. To find a solution to micro-plastic pollution.
D. To produce high-efficiency washing machines.
13. What does the underlined word “catch-22” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. A tricky situation. B. A questionable fact.
C. A possible dream. D. A practical method.
14. Which of the following will reduce the release of micro-plastics during washing
A. Using hotter water.
B. Creating more friction.
C. Using powerful detergents.
D. Adding a water purifier to washing machines.
15. What does the cooperation between the two companies show
A. The difficulty in fighting against fast fashion.
B. The complexity of environment conservation.
C. The influence of humans’ active action.
D. The importance of creative thinking.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了洗衣机制造商三星和户外服装公司巴塔哥尼亚正积极合作,以解决微塑料污染的问题。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Unfortunately, washing machines also contribute to the environmental issues of energy use and micro-plastics flowing into the oceans. That is why the washing machine manufacturer(制造商), Samsung, and the outdoor-wear company, Patagonia, are working together to make a change.(不幸的是,洗衣机也造成了能源使用和微塑料流入海洋的环境问题。这就是为什么洗衣机制造商三星和户外服装公司巴塔哥尼亚正在合作做出改变。)”可知,三星和巴塔哥尼亚合作是为了找到解决微塑料污染的方法。故选C。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。画线词所在句中的“The issue”指的是第一段中的“the environmental issues of energy use and micro-plastics flowing into the oceans”,即能源使用和微塑料排放的问题。根据后文中的“In order to reduce energy costs, manufacturers try to make their machines more efficient. These machines use hotter water and are designed to create more friction(摩擦) between the clothing in the machine. However, both of these things lead to the release of more micro-plastics.(为了降低能源成本,制造商试图提高机器的效率。这些机器使用更热的水,设计用于在机器中的衣服之间产生更多的摩擦。然而,这两种情况都会导致更多微塑料的释放。)”可知,洗衣机制造商通过使用更热的水和让机器中的衣服产生更多的摩擦,想要减少能源成本,但这些会导致微塑料排放更多。由此可推测出,能源使用和微塑料排放是一个进退两难的问题。catch-22意为“左右为难,两难情形”,与A项“一个难对付的问题”意思最接近。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“So, using Patagonia clothes as test cases, Samsung came up with a two-fold solution: One is a technology called Eco-bubbles, which creates more bubbles to make the detergent(洗涤剂) more powerful, and the other is a water purifier that can filter(过滤) out more micro-plastics.(因此,三星以巴塔哥尼亚的衣服为测试案例,提出了一个双重解决方案:一种方法是一种名为Eco-bubbles的技术,它可以产生更多的气泡,使洗涤剂效果更强;另一种是净水器,可以过滤掉更多的微塑料。)”可知,使用Eco-bubbles技术和净水器均可以减少微塑料的排放。故选D。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The cooperation between the two companies is proof of how complicated protecting the environment can be.(这两家公司的合作证明了保护环境是多么复杂。)”可知,这两家公司的合作表明了保护环境的复杂。故选B。

Almost all of us are guilty of spending too much time on our devices so we don't have enough time to enjoy the world around us. We know that little bit of truth might be hard to take in and you might be thinking of shutting off your device now out of guilt.____16____ We've got some tips on limiting your screen time so you can improve your quality of life.
●Set time out to physically lock your phone. One of the keys to cutting down your screen time is to be disciplined. Picking out a period of time each day to step away from your device is a great way to limit screen time. ____17____ Of course, this won't prevent you from picking up your phone to scroll through social media or play games. You may also turn your phone off and place it in another room for the amount of time you'd like to stay off of it.
●Monitor screen time reports on apple devices. On iPhones and other Apple devices, you may have noticed that a Weekly Screen Time Report is provided, which gives you the average hours you spend per day on your screen. It even shows you which apps you are using and how frequently you use them. Monitoring this will help you be aware of the amount of time you spend on your device.____18____
●____19____ The apps like Facebook, Instagram and YouTube will send you a reminder when it's time to log off. This feature is easy to set up and definitely holds you accountable for managing your time.____20____ If so, you're sure to be on the right track for success in your academic and personal life!
A. But wait and don't turn off your device yet!
B. Start managing your screen time more efficiently.
C. Discipline is a better key for you to lock your phone.
D. Most devices today have a “Do Not Disturb” setting.
E. Set a time limit for browsing through social media apps.
F. Reducing screen time will help you stay in a good mood.
G. It will help you better plan for spending less time on it as well.
【答案】16. A 17. D 18. G 19. E 20. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了三个限制或减少屏幕显示时间的方法。
【16题详解】
此处需要一个过渡句,前文“you might be thinking of shutting off your device now out of guilt.(出于内疚,你可能正在考虑关掉手机)”提到在线时间太多而产生愧疚感,此处用but笔锋一转引出本文的主旨句“We've got some tips on limiting your screen time so you can improve your quality of life(我们有一些方法来限制屏幕时间,因此你可以改善你的生活质量)”,因此A选项But wait and don't turn off your device yet!(但是等等,先别关掉你的设备!)符合语境,故选A。
17题详解】
空前句中的device与D项中的devices相呼应,空后句中的this是解题的关键,指代a “Do Not Disturb” setting,因此D选项Most devices today have a “Do Not Disturb” setting(现在大多数设备都有“请勿打扰”的设置)符合语境,故选D。
【18题详解】
该空承接上文,与前一句都是在说Monitoring this这种做法的好处,G项中it指代前一句中的Monitoring this,而且as well也与上文形成并列关系,因此G选项It will help you better plan for spending less time on it as well(这也将帮助你更好地计划在上面花费更少的时间)符合语境,故选G。
【19题详解】
空格处是本段的主旨句,根据空后内容的说明可知,本段主要介绍如何设置浏览社交媒体应用程序的时间限制。空后句中的The apps指代选项中的social media apps,因此E选项Set a time limit for browsing through social media apps(设置浏览社交媒体应用的时间限制)符合语境,故选E。
【20题详解】
前文“This feature is easy to set up and definitely holds you accountable for managing your time(这个功能很容易设置,并且肯定会让你负责管理你的时间)”交代了通过社交媒体的小程序来限制屏幕的时间的可行性,B选项Start managing your screen time more efficiently(开始更有效地管理屏幕时间吧),用祈使句发起倡议,空后一句总结这样做的好处,因此B选项承上启下,符合语境,故选B。

考查动词时态。句意:一名年轻的中国女子在一次严重的车祸中失去了一只眼睛,她毕生致力于制造能闪烁不同颜色的假眼。分析句子可知,devote(献身,致力;把……用于)是句中谓语动词,与主语A young Chinese woman之间是主动关系,结合句意和从句中时态可知,讲述过去的事情,用一般过去时态。故填devoted。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:2013年,欣彤在一场车祸中失去了一只眼睛。可数名词accident在句中表示“一场车祸”,泛指,空格后单词car发音以辅音音素开头,用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:当时她只有18岁,她用一只假眼代替了这只眼睛。提示词作使役动词had后宾语it的补足语,是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语it之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动。故填replaced。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意:这位年轻女子并没有因为自己的外表而对自己失去信心,回避别人,而是最终决定改变自己的处境,让自己脱颖而出。提示词作宾语,用名词appearance,意为“外表,外貌”,不可数名词。故填appearance。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在学习成为一名义眼技术员后,欣彤开始为自己制作各种独特的义肢,并在社交媒体上展示,慢慢地积累了一批忠实的粉丝。介词After后用动名词作宾语。故填studying。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:在学习成为一名义眼技术员后,欣彤开始为自己制作各种独特的义肢,并在社交媒体上展示,慢慢地积累了一批忠实的粉丝。分析句子可知,空格处为非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词prostheses,指物,关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作宾语,应使用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:欣彤完全有能力做出与真眼睛几乎没有区别的经典假眼睛,但她最出名的是她的“仿生眼睛”,它会发出不同的颜色,甚至在按下按钮时闪烁。提示词是定语从句中连系动词,讲述现在的事情,用一般现在时态,主语that(指代先行词prosthetic eyes)指代复数名词,所以系动词用复数形式。故填are。
【43题详解】
考查代词。句意:她尝试这些不同寻常的假肢的短视频在中国很受欢迎,最近她也得到了主流媒体的关注。提示词作定语,修饰动名词短语,用形容词性物主代词her。故填her。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:她尝试这些不同寻常的假肢的短视频在中国很受欢迎,最近她也得到了主流媒体的关注。提示词作定语,结合句意,表示“不同寻常的”,用反义形容词unusual。故填unusual。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:欣彤告诉《新京报》,她之所以选择制作假眼,是为了帮助像她这样的人解决自信心问题。as a way of...是固定短语,意为“作为一种……的方法”。故填as。

Debra, a five-year-old cousin of mine, often annoyed me. She wished me to stay with her, talk to her and teach her dancing. I hated it and never taught her to dance. That hot July afternoon, Debra annoyed me again.
Our big family all gathered together at a friend’s outdoor wedding. The children were running around and playing games. The afternoon couldn’t have been better. My friends and I gathered together and excitedly talked about our up-and-coming freshman year. Debra desired to join us, but what could a five-year-old kid contribute to our conversations
I left the table where we were sitting, leaving behind my mother, my grandmother and Debra. I walked inside the house and greeted everyone inside before making my way to the bathroom. As I was washing my hands, there was a big knock and the bathroom door burst open. It was an older cousin of mine, Sylvia. With a look of fear, anxiety and shock, she rushed to find towels. I figured one of the kids was injured while playing. “There has been a bad accident outside,” she told me and rushed out.
What kind of accident Was anyone hurt I left the bathroom. A woman approached and told me that a guest who was leaving the party had lost control of his car. Then I heard a voice calling my name. It was my mother. She told me, “Debra has been badly e and help rescue her!” My heart dropped to my feet. I was struck by the sudden thought that I might lose her.
I hurried outside. Tables and chairs were overturned everywhere by the runaway car. I was in shock. My mother quickly drove our car around and laid down the backseat. But where was Debra I saw her parents running from a room with a piece of board, perfectly Debra’s size. I didn’t see my tiny cousin until she was put onto the board and laid in the car, crying. Her new white dress had blood, and on her left shoe was a tire (轮胎) mark.

【答案】 Together, we hurried to drive towards the hospital. My heart was heavy with worry, and the scene of the accident replayed in my mind. Debra’s cries echoed in my ears, and I couldn’t shake the feeling of helplessness. The drive seemed to take forever, and every second was filled with anxiety. Finally, we arrived at the hospital, and Debra was quickly rushed into surgery. Anxiety gripped us as we awaited news of her condition. Hours felt like an eternity until finally, a doctor emerged to deliver an update.
“She’ll walk again as long as you take good care of her,” the doctor told us. Relief washed over me as I heard those words. Debra’s parents and I sat by her bedside, holding her hand and whispering words of encouragement. As the days passed, Debra’s condition gradually improved. She was in pain, but her spirit was strong. With love and care, she slowly recovered, and before long, she was back on her feet, dancing and laughing like the Debra we all knew and loved.
