In 2017, besides a full-time job, I also coached two basketball teams. I remember the days when we had a quick meal in the car after work and tried to figure out which soccer game, basketball game, or family event we were driving towards. We just intentionally created family time to connect with each other.
One day when I finished a playhouse for the kids, three-year-old Matthew came and asked to help. “Sorry, kid, but I’m all done,” I replied. “Oh no. . .”, cried Matthew. Now, any three-year-old crying after missing a project with their dad would be sweet. Crying Matthew looked like a newborn cat, melting a heart of stone. But what could I do I had finished the project and now I had to disappoint the little boy. Suddenly I realized, “he just wants to do any project with me. Just make one up!”
I caught two pieces of useless wood, “You see this wood here I need these two pieces of wood to be held together really tight. Can you help me ”
A slight smile was on his face, “Yes!”
The result was a pleased little boy whose heart was full. What I saw was two pieces of junk wood. What he saw was the connection with his father. He saw companionship, priority, worth and a place to belong to.
Parents always think, “I’ll create family time next Saturday.” But you don’t always have to do big things to fill children’s hearts. In fact, the simple act of being present means the world to little hearts. Look at that face! Those are the eyes of a little one who received nothing. And everything.
24.Why did the family eat in the car after work
A.To avoid heavy traffic jams. B.To have extra basketball classes.
C.To remove the trouble of cooking. D.To have more time with family members.
25.What do we know about Matthew in Paragraph 2
A.He wanted to do projects with his dad.
B.He was disappointed with the playhouse.
C.He was sad for missing his school project.
D.He wanted to build the playhouse independently.

A.Thoughtful and caring. B.Educated and strict.
C.Open-minded and generous. D.Humorous and patient.
27.What can be a suitable title for the text

C.Family Events Bring Us Together D.Balancing Work and Family Is Important
I am an ecologist from Zimbabwe, but I’ve been based at the National University of Lesotho in Maseru for more than 13 years. Lesotho is a mountainous inland kingdom in southern Africa. Its high-altitude (高海拔的) wetlands support the Lesotho Highlands Water Project, which delivers water to the Vaal River System in South Africa, generating both income and electricity for Lesotho.
I study the ecological balance that keeps those areas functioning properly: The wetlands t rap water when it rains and release it gradually during dry periods. An important part of this is to map the plants, animals and general environmental conditions, and how they change over time.
One of our team projects monitors the soundscapes of those areas to identify the animals that live there. We put sensitive recording equipment in the field for weeks at a time. This is of great help because, although that site is just 180 kilometers from my university in the capital of Lesotho, it can take up to four hours to drive there.
The data we gather are huge, and although we do listen to the recordings, we mainly use software to help us analyze the data. We want to compare our recordings between seasons, between dawn and dusk (晨昏) and between day and night, to understand the rhythms of the ecosystem. We also compare our recordings from different wetland types. High-altitude areas are easier to be affected by climate change and, in my view, it is the greatest threat those protected wetlands face.
Listening to the recordings makes me happy because I enjoy hearing a variety of sounds, especially the singing of different birds. In a small country like Lesotho, there are so many knowledge gaps to fill — it’s one of the benefits of being a researcher there. I hope that in the future some of you in this classroom will contribute to this as well.
28.What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to
A.Collecting water on rainy days. B.Harvesting electric power.
C.Studying the ecological balance. D.Surviving during dry periods.
29.Why is it helpful to leave the recording equipment in the field for weeks
A.It can attract more animal lovers. B.It can save time on traveling there.
C.It can offer directions to new drivers. D.It can test the quality of the equipment.
30.What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A.What to do with the recordings. B.Why climate change is a threat.
C.How to record sounds in the wild. D.When natural sounds are recorded.
31.Where can you most probably find the text
A.In a news report. B.In a speech.
C.In a research paper. D.In a travel guide.
Last year scientists reported using a neural implant (神经植入物) in a man’s brain to restore his ability to communicate. The man has been partially paralyzed and unable to produce comprehensible speech since suffering a severe stroke. It is the latest advance in the exploding field of brain-computer interfaces (接口), or BCIs, which allow computers to read information out of a living brain.
Brain-computer interfaces are possible because of two facts. The first is that your brain contains hundreds of tiny maps. Each represents specific features of your physical feelings and intended actions. And crucially, the basic set of brain maps and their locations within the brain are very similar across individuals.
Thanks to their specialized functions and universal locations, brain maps are ideal entry points for BCI technologies. Picking up signals from a brain map is only the first step in making a useful BCI. Although the location of a brain map is the same across individuals, the details — what patterns of activity within the map mean — differ from person to person. In a sense, the unique features of your specific brain maps serve as a kind of encryption (加密), safeguarding your specific thoughts and feelings from would-be spies.
That brings us to the second fact that makes BCIs possible. Thanks to advances in machine learning, scientists have developed programs that can learn to recognize key patterns in a vast sea of numbers. They train these programs to decode (解码) brain signals by feeding them tons of examples. Researchers developing BCIs often create such examples by instructing an individual to think specific thoughts at specific times, creating a neural curriculum for the program to learn from.
While the universal features and locations of brain maps make them obvious entrances for BCIs, the unique features of your brain maps tend to protect them from spying eyes. In cases where BCIs have successfully read specific thoughts or intentions from a brain, it has been with the permission of the individual whose brain was being read. But there are surreptitious ways to train decoders on your brain without your knowledge. This can happen if your neural data falls into the hands of companies with detailed information about your activities.
Like all technologies, brain-computer interfaces are not necessarily good or bad. Yet while harvesting the benefits of BCIs, we need to ensure that we have the means to protect ourselves from corporations with every motive to take advantage of this technology for their financial gain.
32.What can we learn about brain maps
A.They carry unique messages.
B.They can process encrypted signals.
C.Their functions vary from person to person.
D.Their locations reveal human thinking patterns.
33.What can we infer from the passage
A.BCIs can boost brain signals dramatically.
B.BCIs could help recover from brain injuries.
C.Machine learning enables BCIs to read mind.
D.The decoding of brain may be affected by BCIs.
34.What does the underlined word “surreptitious” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A.Secure. B.Stable.
C.Standard. D.Secret.
35.What does the passage mainly talk about
A.The future trend of BCIs. B.The potential risks of BCIs.
C.The working principle of BCIs. D.The general applications of BCIs.

Eric, my husband, and I are enthusiastic hikers. We are attracted by the challenge and beauty of mountain trails (小路), especially those that lead to sites of historical and cultural significance. Our love for hiking began shortly after we were married, and it has been a passion of ours for many years.
Last month, we visited a national park with the intention of hiking to a location known for its stone text. After many difficulties, we found only one site within the park was open to visitors. To enjoy the stone text in the mountains, we needed to finish a 2.5-mile path, which started from the museum of the park. 2.5 miles didn’t sound like a very long hike. We were both just in our seventies but fairly fit, and we thought we could easily do 2.5 miles. However, the worker in the museum warned us that the first mile of the path was steep (陡峭的) and rocky and that it could be very challenging. But we ignored her warning and made up our minds to go.
“2.5 miles is not a big deal. Surely, we could do it if we wear proper boots and start early tomorrow morning,” I whispered to my husband lightheartedly.
The next morning, my husband and I got up early. Before starting our hike, we first reached a place that served breakfast. There, we found a family of three, a young man named Walter, his wife and sister. They would also take the path to watch the stone text. They were warm and friendly and we chatted happily for a while. Before they set off, Walter said that he would see us at the stairs, and we thought no more about it. Twenty minutes later, we also started hiking.
The trail started well and it was pretty much downhill all the way. Then it became more and more challenging. The path became extremely steep and was blocked here and there by huge slippery (湿滑的) rocks, which made each step forward an adventure.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As we pushed on, the hike became even tougher.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When Walter saw us, he rushed to help us.

27.主旨大意题。根据文章倒数第二段“What I saw was two pieces of junk wood. What he saw was the connection with his father. He saw companionship, priority, worth and a place to belong to. (我看到的是两块废木头。他看到的是与他父亲的联系。他看到了陪伴、优先权、价值和归属。)”以及最后一段“Parents always think, “I’ll create family time next Saturday.” But you don’t always have to do big things to fill children’s hearts. In fact, the simple act of being present means the world to little hearts. Look at that face! Those are the eyes of a little one who received nothing. And everything. (父母总是想:“下周六我要创造家庭时间。”但你不必总是做些大事来填满孩子们的心。事实上,活在当下这个简单的行为对孩子们的心灵来说意味着整个世界。)”及全文可知,文章主要讲述的是家庭活动让家人们凝聚在一起。所以“Family Events Bring Us Together (家庭活动让我们聚在一起)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C。
28.C 29.B 30.A 31.B
【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了作者在莱索托高地的研究工作,包括研究生态平衡、监测声音景观、分析数据以及应对气候变化等。
28.词义猜测题。根据文章第二段“I study the ecological balance that keeps those areas functioning properly: The wetlands trap water when it rains and release it gradually during dry periods. An important part of this is to map the plants, animals and general environmental conditions, and how they change over time.(我研究的是保持这些地区正常运转的生态平衡:湿地在下雨时蓄水,在干旱时期逐渐放水。这其中一个重要的部分是绘制植物、动物和一般环境条件的地图,以及它们是如何随时间变化的。)”可知,this指的是研究生态平衡,故选C项。
29.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“We put sensitive recording equipment in the field for weeks at a time.This is of great help because, although that site is just 180 kilometers from my university in the capital of Lesotho, it can take up to four hours to drive there. (我们把敏感的录音设备一次放上几个星期。这是很有帮助的,因为尽管那个地方离我在莱索托首都的大学只有180公里,但开车到那里却需要长达四个小时的时间。)”可知,把录音设备留在野外几周可以节省去那里的时间,故选B项。
30.主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“The data we gather are huge, and although we do listen to the recordings, we mainly use software to help us analyze the data. (我们收集的数据量非常大,尽管我们确实会听录音,但我们主要使用软件来帮助我们分析数据。)”可知,第四段主要讲的是如何处理录音数据,故选A项。
31.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I hope that in the future some of you in this classroom will contribute to this as well. (我希望将来在座的一些人也能为这方面做出贡献。)”可知,这篇文章最有可能出现在一篇演讲中,故选B项。
32.A 33.C 34.D 35.C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了BCIs(脑机接口)技术及这种技术的工作原理。
32.细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“The first is that your brain contains hundreds of tiny maps. Each represents specific features of your physical feelings and intended actions.(首先,你的大脑包含数百张小地图。每一个都代表了你身体感受和预期行为的特定特征。)”可知,每一个脑图都代表了你身体感受和预期行为的特定特征,由此可知,关于脑图,我们能知道它们承载着独特的信息。故选A项。
33.推理判断题。根据第四段关键句“Thanks to advances in machine learning, scientists have developed programs that can learn to recognize key patterns in a vast sea of numbers. They train these programs to decode (解码) brain signals by feeding them tons of examples. Researchers developing BCIs often create such examples by instructing an individual to think specific thoughts at specific times, creating a neural curriculum for the program to learn from.(多亏了机器学习的进步,科学家们开发了一些程序,可以学习在浩瀚的数字海洋中识别关键模式。他们通过给这些程序输入大量的例子来训练它们对大脑信号进行解码。开发BCI的研究人员通常通过指导一个人在特定时间思考特定的想法来创建这样的例子,为该程序创建一个可供学习的神经课程。)”可推知,由于机器学习的进步,科学家们开发了一些程序对大脑信号进行解码,进而使BCI能够读懂大脑,由此可知,我们能从这篇文章中推断出机器学习使BCI能够读懂大脑。故选C项。
34.词句猜测题。根据画线单词所在句中“train decoders on your brain without your knowledge(在你不知情的情况下在你的大脑中训练解码器)”可知,在你的大脑中训练解码器的行为是在你不知情的情况下发生的,由此可知,这应该是一些秘密的方式,“Secret”意为“秘密的”,能够代替画线单词在句中所要表达的含义。故选D项。
35.主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第二段关键句“Brain-computer interfaces are possible because of two facts. The first is that your brain contains hundreds of tiny maps.(脑机接口之所以成为可能,有两个原因。首先,你的大脑包含数百张小地图。)”和第四段关键句“That brings us to the second fact that makes BCIs possible. Thanks to advances in machine learning, scientists have developed programs that can learn to recognize key patterns in a vast sea of numbers.(这就引出了第二个让脑机接口成为可能的事实。多亏了机器学习的进步,科学家们开发了一些程序,可以学习在浩瀚的数字海洋中识别关键模式。)”可知,文章主要介绍了脑机接口技术及这种技术的工作原理,C选项“The working principle of BCIs.”意为“脑机接口的工作原理”,C选项能够概括文章主要内容。故选C项。
36.C 37.E 38.B 39.F 40.D
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一些导致不愉快生活的事情以及处理它们的方法。
36.根据上文Dream your dream, but also realize that you are more than just a dreamer.(梦想你的梦想,但也意识到你不仅仅是一个梦想家)可知是在说明梦想的意义,上文中“dream”可对应到C选项中“Your dream”。故C选项“你的梦想是你未来生活的创造性目标。”符合上下文语境,故选C。
37.根据上文Don’t spend all your time saying, “I’m not smart enough, thin enough or rich enough.”(不要总是说:“我不够聪明,不够瘦,也不够有钱。”)结合本段小标题Continuous self-doubt(持续的自我怀疑)可知本段是在说明不要总是自我怀疑,有消极的想法,而是应该多采取积极的步骤,就可以成为你想成为的人。故E选项“事实上,如果你采取积极的步骤,你可以成为你想成为的人。”符合上下文语境,故选E。
38.根据上文You’re going to make mistakes every now and then. You’re a human being.(你会时不时地犯错。你是一个人。)以及后文But making them is also how you grow.(但制造错误也是你成长的方式)可知人都会犯错,我们应当做的不是不犯错,而是避免犯错误,同时犯错误本身也是自我成长的方式。下文中them对应到B选项中mistakes。故B选项“当然,你应该尽量避免犯错误。”符合上下文语境,故选B。
39.根据后文The truth is you don’t have time not to, or sooner or later you’ll be making time for illness.(事实是你没有时间去锻炼,早晚你会为生病腾出时间。)可知人们说自己没有时间运动是一种自我欺骗,真相是人们不想抽出时间去。故F选项“如果你说你没有时间锻炼,那你是在欺骗自己。”符合上下文语境,故选F。
40.结合上文Eating too much makes you fat. (吃得太多会使你发胖。)可知是在描述过度地做某一件事情,本句承接上文继续说明过度做某件事的例子。故D选项“工作太多让你的家人在家里想你。”符合上下文语境,故选D。
41.B 42.A 43.C 44.D 45.A 46.C 47.A 48.B 49.B 50.C 51.D 52.A 53.C 54.B 55.A

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在蒙古社会有独特而光荣地位的演唱形式——Urtiin Du。
56.考查冠词。句意:Urtiin Duu在蒙古社会中有着独特而光荣的地位。play a/an+形容词+role,意为“扮演......的角色;发挥......的作用”,且honoured发音是以元音音素开头,应用an,故填an。
57.考查时态和语态。句意:在蒙古社区举行的婚礼,孩子的出生,以及其他社会活动中都会有这种演唱。空处做谓语,且句子描述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时,主语It和动词perform(表演)是被动关系,所以此处应用一般现在时的被动,故填is performed。
58.考查非谓语动词。句意:Urtiin Duu在那达慕也可以听到,那达慕是一个以摔跤、射箭和赛马为特色的节日。空处是非谓语代词做后置定语,修饰名词 festival,且动词feature和名词festival二者之间是主动关系,所以应用现在分词做后置定语,故填featuring。
59.考查介词。句意:Urtiin Duu是一种抒情颂歌,以丰富的假声、极宽的音域和自由的组曲形式演唱。be characterized by是固定搭配,意为“具有......的特征;以.......为特征”,故填by。
60.考查连词。句意:上升的旋律是缓慢而稳定的,而下降的旋律往往与活泼的节奏结合在一起。空前和空后是两个句子,此处应填连词,且上下文表示对比,应用并列连词while(而;然而),故填while。
61.考查形容词。句意:上升的旋律是缓慢而稳定的,而下降的旋律往往与活泼的节奏结合在一起。空处应用形容词修饰名词,意为“活泼的”,用形容词lively,故填lively。
62.考查非谓语动词。句意:人们普遍认为它起源于2000年前,从13世纪开始,文学作品中就有记载。空处是非谓语动词作状语,其逻辑主语是主句主语the Urtiiu Duu,且二者之间是被动关系,应用过去分词作状语,故填believed。
63.考查名词。句意:然而,自1950年代以来,城市化和工业化日益取代传统的游牧生活方式,传统拥有者曾经居住的部分草原地区已经变成荒漠化,这导致许多家庭转向非游牧生活方式,许多传统的Urtiin Duu主题曲,例如赞美典型游牧民的美德和经历,都失去了其相关性。由空后名词industrialization可知,空处应用名词urbanization(城市化)和industrialization(工业化)做并列主语,且urbanization为不可数名词,故填urbanization。
64.考查时态。句意:然而,自1950年代以来,城市化和工业化日益取代传统的游牧生活方式,传统拥有者曾经居住的部分草原地区已经变成荒漠化,这导致许多家庭转向非游牧生活方式,许多传统的Urtiin Duu主题曲,例如赞美典型游牧民的美德和经历,都失去了其相关性。分析句子结构可知,parts前的and前后连接两个并列句,“where tradition-bearers used to live”是定语从句,所以空处是and后面句子的谓语,由and之前句子的谓语have placed可知,句子用的是现在完成时,表示从过去持续到现在,所以and后面的句子也应用现在完成时,表示“部分草原已经变成荒漠化”,主语是where tradition-bearers used to live,为复数,所以应用have fallen,故填have fallen。
65.考查定语从句。句意:然而,自1950年代以来,城市化和工业化日益取代传统的游牧生活方式,传统拥有者曾经居住的部分草原地区已经变成荒漠化,这导致许多家庭转向非游牧生活方式,许多传统的Urtiin Duu主题曲,例如赞美典型游牧民的美德和经历,都失去了其相关性。分析句子结构可知,“many classical themes of Urtiin Duu, such as the praise of typical nomads’ virtues and experiences, lose their relevance.”是限定性定语从句,修饰先行词a non-nomadic way of life,且定语从句中缺少地点状语in the life,所以应用关系代词where来引导,故填where。
66.Dear editor,
I’m Li Hua, a student in senior 2. Congratulations on the 10th anniversary of Campus English! I have been its fan for two years.
I really find your program beneficial to me. First, the announcers speak in fluent and authentic English. I often imitate their pronunciation and intonation. Second, I like the English songs, which help me relax. However, I think it would be better to add something new, which covers English learning experience as well as excellent compositions from the students.
I would appreciate it if my suggestion could be adopted.
Yours truly,
Li Hua

67.
As we pushed on, the hike became even tougher. The steep portions seemed endless, and each step required every ounce of our strength and concentration. Sweat trickled down our faces, and our legs felt like jelly. We paused frequently to catch our breath and steady ourselves on the uneven ground. In front of us, the jagged rocks and steep inclines tested our limits. Determined to reach the stone text, Eric and I encouraged each other, inching forward slowly but surely.
When Walter saw us, he rushed to help us. Seeing our struggle, he offered his hand to Eric and supported him over a particularly tricky section. “Take it slow, we’ve got this,” Walter smiled reassuringly. With his assistance, we navigated the final stretch of the challenging path. Finally, we stood before the magnificent stone text, filled with a sense of accomplishment and gratitude. The view was breathtaking, and the hike, though arduous, was undoubtedly worth every step.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了Eric和作者热爱徒步,尤其喜爱历史文化遗址。上个月,他们在国家公园挑战了一段2.5英里的陡峭山路,尽管艰难,但在友人Walter的帮助下,最终到达目的地,观赏到壮观的石刻,感受成就与感激。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“我们继续前行,徒步变得更加艰难。”可知,第一段可描写Eric和他的妻子面对愈发艰难的山路,如何相互鼓励,共同克服困难的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“当Walter看到我们时,他急忙过来帮助我们。”可知,第二段可描写Walter如何在关键时刻伸出援手,帮助Eric和他的妻子安全地完成了最后的徒步路程。
2.续写线索:开始轻松的徒步——遇到陡峭和湿滑的路段——感到疲惫但仍坚持——Walter出现并提供帮助——成功到达目的地——共同欣赏石刻文本的美景
