In 1999, Rebecca Constantino began doing a study at schools across Los Angeles. She had just completed a PhD in Language, Literacy and Learning, and she was analyzing children’s access to books in wealthy and low-income communities.
One day, she saw something that stopped her in her tracks. “I was at a school in a wealthy community, and they were getting rid of almost brand new books because they didn’t have room in the library,” said Constantino. She put the books in her car and drove them to a school in an underserved community.
Shocked by the difference she saw in public school libraries, Constantino became determined to bridge the gap. “School libraries are not funded well, and sometimes not funded at all,” said Constantino. “If you’re a child in an underserved community, you’re left with boring, outdated, and uninteresting books.”
The word about Constantino’s work was spread, and books began piling up. Today, her nonprofit organization, Access Books, has provided more than 1.5 million books to public-school and community libraries across California. The group has also redecorated close to 350 libraries in public schools and homeless shelters.
Constantino recruits (招募) volunteers who work alongside the community to create a warm, vibrant (充满生机的) and welcoming library space. Students and their families, as well as school staff and teachers, come together to join in. “We’re working together. It’s not a gift; it’s a partnership. It really builds a sense of community,” said Constantino.
In addition to book donations and refurbishing (再装修) libraries, the group offers author visits with schools and holds an annual writers conference for kids. Constantino said, “If we provide high-interest books and a beautiful library space, they do come and they do read. We found that in the schools that we serve, the number of books borrowed increases significantly after our coming. So we know that kids are really interested in the books that we give. My goal is that kids can always have a friend in a book and they can always turn to a book to find comfort and to learn something.”
24．Why did Constantino do the study in 1999
A．To prepare for a PhD．
B．To reduce the waste of books.
C．To donate more books to poor communities.
D．To figure out kids’ ways of gaining reading books.
25．How did Constantino bridge the gap
A．By obtaining donated books.
B．By raising money on the street.
C．By founding a profitable organization.
D．By getting support from the local government.
26．Which can best describe Constantino’s work
A．Depressing. B．Controversial.
C．Successful. D．Temporary.
27．What impact does the nonprofit organization have on kids in poor communities
A．They think the books on the shelf difficult to read.
B．They can turn to writers on campus.
C．They donate their own books to school libraries.
D．They are more willing to read books.
Scientists have recently developed a method to 3D-print greener buildings using local soil that they say has the potential to revolutionise the construction industry.
Sarbajit Banerjee, a professor of chemistry and materials science and engineering at Texas A&M University, said 3D printing enabled a versatility that allowed them to print entire architectural facades, although getting such structures to meet existing building regulations remained a significant challenge.
Concrete remains the primary material used in many construction projects but it cannot be recycled and requires a lot of energy to mix and transport. The research team's aim is to print structures using the type of soil that can be found in any garden.
“While the wndespread use of concrete has widespread access to housing and enabled the growth of cities, this has come at a considerable environmental cost,” said Banerjee.
“The move to 3D-print concrete threatens to exacerbate this problem. However, we envision a new example of construction that uses naturally sourced materials. Using such materials will further pave the way for building designs that are specifically adapted to the needs of the local climate.
What's more, the use of local materials would reduce the need to transport concrete long distances, further reducing the environmental impact of the buildings.
The research team's plan to replace concrete with the earth beneath our feet depends on their ability to improve the soil's capability to stand the weight of the whole house, to which Banerjee said they “are making excellent progress”.
Once they have a clearer idea of the limits of the technology, Banerjee and his team plan to further investigate how it might allow for building on other planets. For instance, they have worked on addressing the problem of building all-weather roads in the subarctic. They hope the technology could one day be used beyond Earth, to create settlements on the moon or even Mars.
28．What's the latest development in construction
A．Recycling concrete. B．Reducing the construction cost.
C．3D-printing buildings from local soil. D．Changing the construction regulations.
29．What does the underlined word “exacerbate” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A．Address. B．Worsen. C．Relieve. D．Simplify.
30．What is the condition for replacing concrete with the earth
A．The local climate. B．The cost of transportation.
C．The environmental footprint. D．The soil's weight-bearing capability.
31．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．The outlook for further studies. B．The explorations of the subarctic.
C．The limits of the new technology. D．The barrier to building on other planets.
“Can’t hold a candle to” is a popular expression. When there wasn’t electricity, someone would have a servant light his way by holding a candle. The expression meant that the person who cannot hold a candle to you is not fit even to be your servant. Now, it means such a person cannot compare or compete.
Another expression is “hold your tongue.” It means to be still and not talk. “Hold your tongue” is not something you would tell a friend. But a parent or teacher might use the expression to quiet a noisy child.
“Hold out” is an expression one hears often in sports reports and labor news. It means to refuse to play or work. Professional football and baseball players ‘‘hold out” if their team refuses to pay them what they think they are worth.
The expression “hold up” has several different meanings. One is a robbery. A man with a gun may say, “This is a hold-up. Give me your money.” Another meaning is to delay. A driver who was held up by heavy traffic might be late for work. Another meaning is for a story to be considered true after an investigation. A story can hold up if it is proved true.
“Hold on” is another expression, which means waiting or stopping. As you leave for school, your brother may say, “Hold on, you forgot your book.” It is used to ask a telephone caller to wait and not hang up his telephone.
Our final expression is “hold the line”. That means to keep a problem or situation from getting worse—to hold steady. For example, the president may say he will “hold the line on taxes”. He means there will be no increase in taxes.
32．The expression “can’t hold a candle to” can be used when ________.
A．some footballers refuse to play a game
B．someone else is wanted on the phone
C．someone is not qualified for a position
D．someone was delayed by heavy traffic
33．The tune of the phrase “hold your tongue” is probably a little ________.
A．amusing B．polite
C．unfriendly D．offensive
34．If some teachers “hold out”, they probably ________.
A．change their attitude B．refuse to work
C．make a compromise D．show their devotion
35．Which of the following sentences can convey positive meanings
A．I was late as I was held up by a hold-up.
B．Hold on! You have to pay the bill, sir.
C．You can’t even hold a candle to Michael.
D．I promise to hold the line on house prices.

The Flying Crabs (螃蟹)
Sam and Ken were teenagers of the same age, living in the same community of the busy town of Brooksville. They used to be close, but as they grew up, Sam began to keep himself apart from Ken. Ken’s growing reputation as a talented painter made Sam feel uncomfortable. It seemed like Ken was becoming a star, and everyone in the neighborhood noticed him. This gradually changed their friendship.
Therefore, Sam was surprised when Ken invited him to participate in the annual Kite Day competition together. Each year, on the third Sunday of October, Brooksville came alive with colorful homemade kites in the sky. It was a fun celebration and also a serious contest of creativity.
“We two ” Sam questioned when Ken suggested they work together as a team. Ken explained that Sam’s knowledge of aerodynamics (空气动力学) would be a great match for his artistic talent, so they would be good partners. Ken’s enthusiasm was so strong that it reduced Sam’s doubts. His mind raced through memories of their past friendship, moments of shared laughter, and brotherly competition. “Well... OK!” Sam agreed, although he was still hesitant.
In the weeks leading up to Kite Day, they combined their talents, worked out ideas, and carefully made their kite. Ken’s bright colors and detailed designs matched perfectly with Sam’s focus on making the kite fly well.
As they worked together, they found joy in their friendship again, remembering fun times from the past. Ken’s endless excitement kept them going during hard times, while Sam’s careful planning made sure everything was done right. They decided to make their kite the best Brooksville had ever seen.
Together, they turned simple materials into a beautiful kite shaped like a group of dancing crabs, each one with its own special look. Sam declared with new confidence that they were going to amaze everyone. The two friends high-fived each other excitedly.
注意：

【原文】
M: Hi! My name is Stephen and I live in a tiny flat in London. I don’t live with my parents. They’re living in the countryside. An advantage of city life is having everything you need so close at hand. Living beside the underground train station means I don’t need a car to get around, which saves me money. I take the underground to work every day. I can also use it when I go to visit my friends and relatives. Also, there are shopping centers and museums everywhere. Of course, London, like any large city, has its problems, too. Londoners don’t chat on the train or the bus and there is much less sharing spirit than in the country, where my parents live. In fact, they don’t understand how I can put up with the noise and pollution. However, I see that as a small price to pay. I’m here in the heart of the fine city. As a famous poet once said, “He who is tired of London is tired of life.”

【分析】这是一篇说明文。科学家最近开发了一种利用当地土壤3D打印绿色建筑的方法，他们表示，这种方法有可能彻底改变建筑业。文章介绍了这一方法的特点以及仍然面临的问题。

29．词句猜测题。根据第四段““While the wndespread use of concrete has widespread access to housing and enabled the growth of cities, this has come at a considerable environmental cost,” said Banerjee.(班纳吉说：“虽然混凝土的广泛使用为住房和城市的发展提供了条件，但这也付出了相当大的环境代价。”)”可知，采用3D打印混凝土可能会恶化环境问题，故画线词意思是“恶化”。A. Address.演说；B. Worsen.恶化；C. Relieve. 减轻；D. Simplify.简化。故选B。
30．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The research team's plan to replace concrete with the earth beneath our feet depends on their ability to improve the soil's capability to stand the weight of the whole house, to which Banerjee said they “are making excellent progress”.(研究小组用我们脚下的土地取代混凝土的计划取决于他们提高土壤承受整个房屋重量的能力，Banerjee说他们在这方面“取得了卓越的进展”)”可知，用泥土代替混凝土的条件是土壤的承重能力。故选D。
31．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Once they have a clearer idea of the limits of the technology, Banerjee and his team plan to further investigate how it might allow for building on other planets. For instance, they have worked on addressing the problem of building all-weather roads in the subarctic. They hope the technology could one day be used beyond Earth, to create settlements on the moon or even Mars.(一旦他们对这项技术的局限性有了更清晰的认识，班纳吉和他的团队计划进一步研究如何在其他星球上建造。例如，他们致力于解决在亚北极地区修建全天候公路的问题。他们希望这项技术有一天能被用于地球以外的地方，在月球甚至火星上建立定居点)”可知，最后一段主要讲了进一步研究的前景。故选A。

【分析】这是一篇说明文，介绍了英语中几个常用的短语，介绍了每个短语的内在含义和具体使用语境并举例进行了说明。
32． 推理判断题。根据第一段后2行The expression meant that the person who cannot hold a candle to you is not fit even to be your servant．Now，it means such a person cannot compare or compete．这个短语是指那些不会给你拿蜡烛的人是不适合做你的仆人的，现在，这个词的意思是这样的人不能与你相比或竞争。由此判断出，当某人不能胜任某个职位时，可以用“力不从心”这个词。故选C项。
33． 细节理解题。根据文章第二段Another expression is“hold your tongue．”It means to be still and not talk．“Hold your tongue”is not something you would tell a friend．可知，hold your tongue表示让对方不要说话，保持安静。这是一个不太礼貌的用语。不是我们经常和朋友讲的用语。故C正确。
34．细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句．It means to refuse to play or work．可知hold out表示罢工或者拒绝工作。如果老师hold out说明老师拒绝上课了。故B项正确。
35． 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段Our final expression is “hold the line”. That means to keep a problem or situation from getting worse—to hold steady，我们最后一个短语是“hold the line”。意思是防止问题或情况恶化——保持稳定。故判断出“我承诺保持房价稳定”传达了积极的意思。故D正确。

As the competition progressed, Sam’s feeling of jealousy disappeared, replaced by the pure joy of this shared achievement.

Time seemed to stretch forever before the head judge finally stepped forward and announced Sam and Ken won first place. The crowd erupted in applause, and a mix of relief and pride washed over them.

In 1999, Rebecca Constantino began doing a study at schools across Los Angeles. She had just completed a PhD in Language, Literacy and Learning, and she was analyzing children’s access to books in wealthy and low-income communities.
One day, she saw something that stopped her in her tracks. “I was at a school in a wealthy community, and they were getting rid of almost brand new books because they didn’t have room in the library,” said Constantino. She put the books in her car and drove them to a school in an underserved community.
Shocked by the difference she saw in public school libraries, Constantino became determined to bridge the gap. “School libraries are not funded well, and sometimes not funded at all,” said Constantino. “If you’re a child in an underserved community, you’re left with boring, outdated, and uninteresting books.”
The word about Constantino’s work was spread, and books began piling up. Today, her nonprofit organization, Access Books, has provided more than 1.5 million books to public-school and community libraries across California. The group has also redecorated close to 350 libraries in public schools and homeless shelters.
Constantino recruits (招募) volunteers who work alongside the community to create a warm, vibrant (充满生机的) and welcoming library space. Students and their families, as well as school staff and teachers, come together to join in. “We’re working together. It’s not a gift; it’s a partnership. It really builds a sense of community,” said Constantino.
In addition to book donations and refurbishing (再装修) libraries, the group offers author visits with schools and holds an annual writers conference for kids. Constantino said, “If we provide high-interest books and a beautiful library space, they do come and they do read. We found that in the schools that we serve, the number of books borrowed increases significantly after our coming. So we know that kids are really interested in the books that we give. My goal is that kids can always have a friend in a book and they can always turn to a book to find comfort and to learn something.”
24．Why did Constantino do the study in 1999
A．To prepare for a PhD．
B．To reduce the waste of books.
C．To donate more books to poor communities.
D．To figure out kids’ ways of gaining reading books.
25．How did Constantino bridge the gap
A．By obtaining donated books.
B．By raising money on the street.
C．By founding a profitable organization.
D．By getting support from the local government.
26．Which can best describe Constantino’s work
A．Depressing. B．Controversial.
C．Successful. D．Temporary.
27．What impact does the nonprofit organization have on kids in poor communities
A．They think the books on the shelf difficult to read.
B．They can turn to writers on campus.
C．They donate their own books to school libraries.
D．They are more willing to read books.
Scientists have recently developed a method to 3D-print greener buildings using local soil that they say has the potential to revolutionise the construction industry.
Sarbajit Banerjee, a professor of chemistry and materials science and engineering at Texas A&M University, said 3D printing enabled a versatility that allowed them to print entire architectural facades, although getting such structures to meet existing building regulations remained a significant challenge.
Concrete remains the primary material used in many construction projects but it cannot be recycled and requires a lot of energy to mix and transport. The research team's aim is to print structures using the type of soil that can be found in any garden.
“While the wndespread use of concrete has widespread access to housing and enabled the growth of cities, this has come at a considerable environmental cost,” said Banerjee.
“The move to 3D-print concrete threatens to exacerbate this problem. However, we envision a new example of construction that uses naturally sourced materials. Using such materials will further pave the way for building designs that are specifically adapted to the needs of the local climate.
What's more, the use of local materials would reduce the need to transport concrete long distances, further reducing the environmental impact of the buildings.
The research team's plan to replace concrete with the earth beneath our feet depends on their ability to improve the soil's capability to stand the weight of the whole house, to which Banerjee said they “are making excellent progress”.
Once they have a clearer idea of the limits of the technology, Banerjee and his team plan to further investigate how it might allow for building on other planets. For instance, they have worked on addressing the problem of building all-weather roads in the subarctic. They hope the technology could one day be used beyond Earth, to create settlements on the moon or even Mars.
28．What's the latest development in construction
A．Recycling concrete. B．Reducing the construction cost.
C．3D-printing buildings from local soil. D．Changing the construction regulations.
29．What does the underlined word “exacerbate” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A．Address. B．Worsen. C．Relieve. D．Simplify.
30．What is the condition for replacing concrete with the earth
A．The local climate. B．The cost of transportation.
C．The environmental footprint. D．The soil's weight-bearing capability.
31．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．The outlook for further studies. B．The explorations of the subarctic.
C．The limits of the new technology. D．The barrier to building on other planets.
“Can’t hold a candle to” is a popular expression. When there wasn’t electricity, someone would have a servant light his way by holding a candle. The expression meant that the person who cannot hold a candle to you is not fit even to be your servant. Now, it means such a person cannot compare or compete.
Another expression is “hold your tongue.” It means to be still and not talk. “Hold your tongue” is not something you would tell a friend. But a parent or teacher might use the expression to quiet a noisy child.
“Hold out” is an expression one hears often in sports reports and labor news. It means to refuse to play or work. Professional football and baseball players ‘‘hold out” if their team refuses to pay them what they think they are worth.
The expression “hold up” has several different meanings. One is a robbery. A man with a gun may say, “This is a hold-up. Give me your money.” Another meaning is to delay. A driver who was held up by heavy traffic might be late for work. Another meaning is for a story to be considered true after an investigation. A story can hold up if it is proved true.
“Hold on” is another expression, which means waiting or stopping. As you leave for school, your brother may say, “Hold on, you forgot your book.” It is used to ask a telephone caller to wait and not hang up his telephone.
Our final expression is “hold the line”. That means to keep a problem or situation from getting worse—to hold steady. For example, the president may say he will “hold the line on taxes”. He means there will be no increase in taxes.

The Flying Crabs (螃蟹)
Sam and Ken were teenagers of the same age, living in the same community of the busy town of Brooksville. They used to be close, but as they grew up, Sam began to keep himself apart from Ken. Ken’s growing reputation as a talented painter made Sam feel uncomfortable. It seemed like Ken was becoming a star, and everyone in the neighborhood noticed him. This gradually changed their friendship.
Therefore, Sam was surprised when Ken invited him to participate in the annual Kite Day competition together. Each year, on the third Sunday of October, Brooksville came alive with colorful homemade kites in the sky. It was a fun celebration and also a serious contest of creativity.
“We two ” Sam questioned when Ken suggested they work together as a team. Ken explained that Sam’s knowledge of aerodynamics (空气动力学) would be a great match for his artistic talent, so they would be good partners. Ken’s enthusiasm was so strong that it reduced Sam’s doubts. His mind raced through memories of their past friendship, moments of shared laughter, and brotherly competition. “Well... OK!” Sam agreed, although he was still hesitant.
In the weeks leading up to Kite Day, they combined their talents, worked out ideas, and carefully made their kite. Ken’s bright colors and detailed designs matched perfectly with Sam’s focus on making the kite fly well.
As they worked together, they found joy in their friendship again, remembering fun times from the past. Ken’s endless excitement kept them going during hard times, while Sam’s careful planning made sure everything was done right. They decided to make their kite the best Brooksville had ever seen.
Together, they turned simple materials into a beautiful kite shaped like a group of dancing crabs, each one with its own special look. Sam declared with new confidence that they were going to amaze everyone. The two friends high-fived each other excitedly.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；

【原文】
M: Hi! My name is Stephen and I live in a tiny flat in London. I don’t live with my parents. They’re living in the countryside. An advantage of city life is having everything you need so close at hand. Living beside the underground train station means I don’t need a car to get around, which saves me money. I take the underground to work every day. I can also use it when I go to visit my friends and relatives. Also, there are shopping centers and museums everywhere. Of course, London, like any large city, has its problems, too. Londoners don’t chat on the train or the bus and there is much less sharing spirit than in the country, where my parents live. In fact, they don’t understand how I can put up with the noise and pollution. However, I see that as a small price to pay. I’m here in the heart of the fine city. As a famous poet once said, “He who is tired of London is tired of life.”

The group has also redecorated close to 350 libraries in public schools and homeless shelters.

33． 细节理解题。根据文章第二段Another expression is“hold your tongue．”It means to be still and not talk．“Hold your tongue”is not something you would tell a friend．可知，hold your tongue表示让对方不要说话，保持安静。这是一个不太礼貌的用语。不是我们经常和朋友讲的用语。故C正确。
34．细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句．It means to refuse to play or work．可知hold out表示罢工或者拒绝工作。如果老师hold out说明老师拒绝上课了。故B项正确。
35． 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段Our final expression is “hold the line”. That means to keep a problem or situation from getting worse—to hold steady，我们最后一个短语是“hold the line”。意思是防止问题或情况恶化——保持稳定。故判断出“我承诺保持房价稳定”传达了积极的意思。故D正确。

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍三星堆文化的发现以及其意义。
56．考查定语从句。句意：三星堆被认为位于蜀国的心脏地带，由于缺乏文字记载，历史学家对它知之甚少。此处the Shu state是先行词，指物，在后面的非限制性定语从句中作主语，应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
57．考查非谓语动词。句意：该遗址的发现可以追溯到公元前12世纪和11世纪，许多物品现在正在现场博物馆展出。句子主语Discoveries和make之间是被动关系，是过去分词作后置定语。故填made。
58．考查名词复数。句意：该遗址的发现可以追溯到公元前12世纪和11世纪，许多物品现在正在现场博物馆展出。分析句子结构many of the ____3____ (item) are可知，这里用名词复数。故填items。
59．考查名词。句意：特别值得一提的是，有证据表明，独特的蜀文化表明，这个王国是独立于黄河流域的邻近社会发展起来的，而黄河流域传统上被认为是中国文明的摇篮。分析句子结构____4____ (evident) of a unique Shu culture suggests可知，这里用单数名词作主语，所给词evident是形容词，其名词是evidence。故填evidence。
60．考查副词。句意：特别值得一提的是，有证据表明，独特的蜀文化表明，这个王国是独立于黄河流域的邻近社会发展起来的，而黄河流域传统上被认为是中国文明的摇篮。句中considered是动词，由副词修饰，所给词traditional是形容词，其副词是traditionally。故填traditionally。
61．考查代词时态及语态。句意：三星堆最早的文物是在1929年被一位农民发现的。The first Sanxingdui relics是句子主语，复数形式，和谓语动词discover之间是被动关系，是一般过去时的被动语态。故填were discovered。
62．考查代词时态。句意：从那时起，三星堆文化的发现一直是研究人员的工作。根据ever since可知句子用现在完成时，Generations of researchers是句子主语，复数形式，所以谓语动词用复数形式。故填have worked。
63．考查形容词。句意：三星堆的发现令人兴奋，但没有发现文献，也没有任何其他国家的记录中提到这种文化。情感形容词exciting的意思是“令人兴奋的”，其中心词通常是“物”，这里指三星堆的发现是“令人兴奋的”。故填exciting。
64．考查介词。句意：对这些文物的元素分析表明，它们的来源与长江沿岸的其他文化相似。固定短语：be similar to“与……相似”。故填to。
65．考查冠词。句意：然而，在这一点上，制造这些人造物品的独特文化仍然是一个谜。这里是泛指，表示这种文化仍然是“一个”谜，且mystery是以辅音音素开头的词。故填a。
