Florida’s famous beach town is steeped in auto-racing history, but a vacation in Daytona Beach can also let you slow down for cultural attractions, lively riverside neighborhoods, pedestrian-friendly places for exploring, and a festival calendar that goes year-round. The following are the best seasons to visit Daytona Beach.
Spring: Daytona Beach Bike Week in February and March attracts motorcycle crowds and culture. During springtime migration, visitors can spot northern sea birds in coastal environments. In April, the Daytona Beach Arts Fest immerses downtown in juried art, creative craftworks, live music, and more.
Summer: June, July, and August are ideal months for fishing on the 1, 000-foot-long Halifax River, with no fishing license required. July is one of the best months for consistent waves at beach breaks along Daytona Beach. On the Hook Charters offers eco-tours on the river for dolphins, manatees, and myriad shorebirds.
Autumn: Mid-October’s Biketoberfest brings motorcycle enthusiasts back for live music, racing, and camaraderie. Saltwater fish species migrate south, and it’s a great time for offshore fishing for tarpon and sailfish. In November, the Halifax Art Festival spreads across downtown Daytona Beach featuring 150 artists who showcase their works.
Winter: Go kayaking and explore the welands in Tiger Bay State Forest, a habitat for black bears and a popular place for cycling and horseback riding on forest roads. And the weather is perfect for a round of golf at one of the city’s world-class golf courses, like LPGA International.

Kristin Donley teaches students who have felt completely disconnected in school or just dropped out. They’ re not an easy bunch to motivate.
But Donley has found a surprising hook: drones (无人机).
“I quickly recognized that these kids needed something to inspire them,” said Donley, who teaches at Arapahoe Ridge High School and presented her work June 24 at the International Society for Technology in Education’s annual conference here. “I wanted to bring something that was relevant, something they’d heard a lot about, that they think is interesting, but have probably never touched.”
She partnered with a local post-secondary institution, Front Range Community College, which sent its students to help Donley’s classes use computer coding to fly drones through a maze (迷宫).
Donley’s students already knew drones were delivering everything from packages for companies like Amazon to pizza. They were also aware that the tech is being used in the military actions.
And because many of her students’ parents are agricultural workers, they’ d heard farmers use drones to monitor crops. Some even asked Donley how they could get a license to operate those drones.
During the drone activities, students were fully engaged in the hands-on learning experience. Faced with the task of coding and piloting drones through a maze, they eagerly embraced the challenge. With the instructors’ guidance, they collaborated with classmates to solve technical problems, mastering the skills required to successfully navigate the drones. The activities drew students into a world of innovation and teamwork that they found far more charming than their mobile phones.
Donley’s advice for educators considering teaching with drones “Jump in,” she said. “It’s worth it.”
24．Why did Donley apply drones to her class
A．To stimulate their interest.
B．To introduce new technology.
C．To develop their ability in presentation.
D．To partner with a local post-secondary institution.
25．What is a drone like in those students’ mind
A．Useful but dangerous. B．Advanced but inaccessible.
C．Practical and appealing. D．Convenient and complicated.
26．What made the drone activities possible for the students
A．Donley’s degree. B．Students’ teamwork.
C．Their parents’ perspectives. D．An institution’s support.
27．How did the students benefit from the drone activities
A．They got licenses to pilot drones.
B．They were glued to their mobile phones.
C．They became active learners with team spirits.
D．They made progress in their academic performance.
When we encounter a troublesome problem, we often gather a group to brainstorm. However, substantial evidence has shown that when we generate ideas together, we fail to maximize collective intelligence.
To unearth the hidden potential in teams, we’re better off shifting to a process called “brainwriting”. You start by asking group members to write down what is going on in their brains separately. Next, you pool them and share them among the group without telling the authors. Then, each member evaluates them on his or her own, only after which do the team members come together to select and improve the most promising options. By developing and assessing ideas individually before choosing and expanding on them, the team can surface and advance possibilities that might not get attention otherwise.
An example of great brainwriting was in 2010 when 33 miners were trapped underground in Chile. Given the urgency of the situation, the rescue team didn’t hold brainstorming sessions. Rather, they established a global brainwriting system to generate individual ideas. A 24-year-old engineer came up with a tiny plastic telephone. This specialized tool ended up becoming the only means of communicating with the miners, making it possible to save them.
Research by organizational behavior scholar Anita Woolley and her colleagues helps to explain why this method works. They find that the key to collective intelligence is balanced participation. In brainstorming meetings, it’s too easy for participation to become one-sided in favor of the loudest voices. The brainwriting process ensures that all ideas are brought to the table and all voices are brought into conversation. The goal isn’t to be the smartest person in the room. It’s to make the room smarter.
Collective intelligence begins with individual creativity, but it doesn’t end there. Individuals produce a greater volume and variety of novel ideas when they work alone. That means they not only come up with more brilliant ideas than groups but also more terrible ideas. Therefore, it takes collective judgment to find the signal in the noise and bring out the best ideas.
28．What is special about brainwriting compared with brainstorming
A．It highlights independent work. B．It encourages group cooperation.
C．It prioritizes quality over quantity. D．It prefers writing to oral exchanges.
29．Why does the author mention the Chile mining accident in paragraph 3
A．To introduce a tool developed during brainwriting.
B．To praise a young man with brainwriting technique.
C．To illustrate a successful application of brainwriting.
D．To explain the role of brainwriting in communication.
30．How does brainwriting promote collective intelligence according to paragraph 4
A．By blocking the loudest voices. B．By allowing equal involvement.
C．By improving individual wisdom. D．By generating more creative ideas.
31．Which step of brainwriting does the author stress in the last paragraph
A．Individual writing. B．Group sharing.
C．Personal evaluation. D．Joint discussion.
The video game “Black Myth: Wukong” has been praised as a “masterpiece” by critics and enthusiasts alike, with many boldly predicting that it will be a strong competitor for the famed title of Game of the Year. This game has not only gained great popularity within China but has also captivated international audiences, many of whom may not be familiar with the complexities of the classic Chinese novel “Journey to the West”, from which the game draws its inspiration. Despite this, the game’s complex plot presents certain challenges for players who are not good at the slight differences of the source material.
“Black Myth: Wukong” is a proof to the perfect integration of traditional Chinese cultural elements with modern gaming technology. The game beautifully combines Daoist talismans (护身符), Buddhist artifacts, and ancient architectural wonders, creating a visually stunning experience that draws inspiration from iconic landmarks such as the Great Wall and the splendid Mount Huangshan. The Shanxi Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism has cleverly capitalized on the game’s popularity by releasing a promotional video that highlights real-life locations featured in the game, such as Xiaoxitian and Yuhuang Temple. This has led to a surge of cultural pilgrimages (朝圣) to these historic sites, as fans of the game seek to experience the real-world counterparts of the virtual wonders they have explored.
The development team’s dedication to authenticity is evident in their careful research in Shanxi, a region that boasts (自夸) 80 percent of China’s surviving wooden structures from the Yuan Dynasty and earlier periods. This research has led to an almost exact copy of China’s breathtaking landscapes, grand temples, and delicate sculptures inside the game. This remarkable achievement not only serves as a proof to the team’s dedication to authenticity but also stands as a powerful cultural export, allowing players from around the globe to experience the richness of Chinese heritage in an immersive (沉浸式的) and interactive manner.
The game’s success is a reflection of the growing influence of Chinese culture in the global gaming industry. “Black Myth: Wukong” is not just a game; it is a cultural phenomenon that bridges the gap between traditional Chinese culture and modern gaming, creating an experience that is both educational and entertaining. As the game continues to gain popularity, it is likely to attract even more players who are curious about Chinese mythology and history, further cementing its status as a global cultural icon.
32．“Black Myth: Wukong” appeals internationally mainly because of .
A．its simple plot and gameplay
B．its complicated plot and cultural elements
C．its focus on Western mythology
D．its lack of historical accuracy
33．To use the game’s popularity, the Shanxi Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism .
A．released a video game
B．created a promotional video
C．built new tourist attractions
D．published a travel guidebook
34．What is the significance of the development team’s research in Shanxi
A．It led to the creation of a new game engine.
B．It was used to develop a virtual reality experience.
C．It caused a decline in tourism to Shanxi.
D．It resulted in a near 1:1 reproduction of Chinese landscapes.
35．“Black Myth: Wukong” bridges the gap between traditional Chinese culture and modern gaming .
A．ignoring historical accuracy
B．focusing on Western themes
C．integrating cultural elements into gameplay
D．using outdated graphics
How to Stop Procrastinating at Bedtime
When I have done the dishes, cleaned the living room, and shot off my last work email of the night, it is “me” time. It is also, cruelly, bedtime. I know I should sleep, but instead I stay up way too late scrolling (滚屏) on TikTok. This is my only uninterrupted time. 36 . Such phenomenon is called “bedtime procrastination”. People with stressful days and little control over their time are those who are most likely to fall into that category. However, all too often, bedtime procrastinators end up exhausted the next day, thus sinking into a terrible cycle. Here are some tips to regain control of your sleep.
·Move up your “me” time. Although this might not be possible for everyone, consider shifting your self-care tasks to earlier time in the day. 37 , or include meal preparation Sundays in your weekly routine so you can get the hours back that you would have spent cooking each weeknight.
· 38 . When you scroll on your phone or watch TV in bed, weekdays or weekends, you’re training your brain to think that’s what you’re supposed to do in bed. A good choice is to reserve your bed for sleep, especially if you struggle to fall asleep at night.
·Create a relaxing bedtime routine. Create one that you look forward to. Practice yoga, take a warm shower, or listen to an audiobook — the key is to do whatever you find most calming and enjoyable. Experts also recommend washing your face and brushing your teeth, right after dinner. 39 .
Do remember, overcoming bedtime procrastination is not about perfection, but progress. 40 . Whether you’re struggling with sleep problems or mental stress, addressing sleep procrastination can be a game-changer. Start tonight by setting a reasonable bedtime and sticking to it. Your future, well-rested self will thank you.

67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I could smell garlic and other Italian spices before I opened the front door. Mom was cooking because Uncle Vince was coming for dinner. As the only non-Italian in the family, she wanted to make a good impression on Uncle Vince, who was a very traditional Italian.
Mom opened the fridge, where lay two bags of food, one for meatballs and the other for cake balls. She hurriedly took out the bag of “meatballs” which she had cooked and frozen before. However, she didn’t realize that she had made a mistake, but later it became a surprise.
Mom carefully put the meatballs into the boiling pot of sauce and tried to make them expand, just like my Italian grandma used to do. The salad was ready, covered with a wet towel to keep it fresh. The table was set; the garlic bread was waiting to be put into the oven; the water for the spaghetti was almost boiling.
Uncle Vince arrived in time for dinner. We greeted each other just like Italians usually do. Then, he and Dad sat in the living room, chatting casually while Mom and I served the food. “Come on in, guys. Food is almost ready,” Mom said, with a confident smile on her face.
I passed Uncle Vince the bowl full of spaghetti, and then Dad handed him the plate of “meatballs” that had been heated in the sauce. When Uncle Vince saw the size of the “meatballs”, his eyes widened, and he couldn’t help licking (舔) his lips. He helped himself to three meatballs while Mom held her breath. Then he picked up one of the “meatballs” with his fork and took a big bite. He stopped for a moment and said, “The taste and spices of this ‘meatball’ are quite interesting. It is different but really good.” Mom finally relaxed. In fact, the “meatballs” were so good that after eating three, Uncle Vince had two more. Mom felt very happy, and the atmosphere of the family dinner was so harmonious.
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。
The next morning, when Mom opened the fridge for breakfast, she froze, finding the bag of meatballs was just there.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mom closed the fridge and whispered to Dad and me, “Don’t tell anyone. Wait for further response from Uncle Vince.”

24．细节理解题。根据文章第三段““I quickly recognized that these kids needed something to inspire them,” said Donley, who teaches at Arapahoe Ridge High School and presented her work June 24 at the International Society for Technology in Education’s annual conference here. “I wanted to bring something that was relevant, something they’d heard a lot about, that they think is interesting, but have probably never touched.”(“我很快意识到，这些孩子需要一些东西来激励他们，”Donley说道。她在阿拉帕霍岭高中任教，并于6月24日在国际教育技术学会的年度会议上展示了自己的工作成果。“我想引入一些相关的东西，一些他们听说过很多、觉得有趣，但可能从未接触过的东西。”)”可知，Donley很快意识到她的学生需要一些东西来激励他们，她想引入一些学生们听说过很多、觉得有趣但从未接触过的东西，而无人机就是这样的东西。所以Donley将无人机应用到课堂上是为了激发学生的兴趣。故选A。
25．推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Donley’s students already knew drones were delivering everything from packages for companies like Amazon to pizza. They were also aware that the tech is being used in the military actions.(Donley的学生们早就知道，无人机可以运送从亚马逊等公司的包裹到披萨等各种物品。他们也知道这项技术正被用于军事行动中。)”以及第六段“And because many of her students’ parents are agricultural workers, they’ d heard farmers use drones to monitor crops. Some even asked Donley how they could get a license to operate those drones.(而且，由于她的很多学生的父母都是农业工人，他们听说过农民使用无人机来监测农作物。有些学生甚至问Donley，他们要如何才能获得操作无人机的许可证。)”可知，学生们知道无人机可以用来运送包裹和披萨，还应用于军事行动，并且农民也用无人机监测农作物，这体现了无人机在学生们眼中是很实用的；同时，有些学生甚至询问如何获得操作无人机的许可证，这表明他们对无人机很感兴趣，觉得无人机有吸引力。故选C。
26．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“She partnered with a local post-secondary institution, Front Range Community College, which sent its students to help Donley’s classes use computer coding to fly drones through a maze (迷宫).(她与当地的一所高等院校——佛兰特里吉社区学院合作。该学院派学生来帮助Donley的班级使用计算机编程，让无人机穿越迷宫。)”可知，Donley与当地的一所高等院校——佛兰特里吉社区学院合作，该学院派学生来帮助Donley的班级使用计算机编程让无人机穿越迷宫。所以是一所院校的支持使得学生们的无人机活动成为可能。故选D。
27．推理判断题。根据文章第七段“During the drone activities, students were fully engaged in the hands-on learning experience. Faced with the task of coding and piloting drones through a maze, they eagerly embraced the challenge. With the instructors’ guidance, they collaborated with classmates to solve technical problems, mastering the skills required to successfully navigate the drones. The activities drew students into a world of innovation and teamwork that they found far more charming than their mobile phones.(在无人机活动期间，学生们全身心地投入到了实践学习体验中。面对对无人机进行编程并操控它们穿越迷宫的任务，他们热切地迎接了挑战。在指导老师的引导下，他们与同学合作解决技术问题，掌握了成功操控无人机所需的技能。这些活动将学生们带入了一个充满创新和团队合作的世界，他们发现这个世界远比他们的手机更具吸引力。)”可知，在无人机活动中，学生们全身心投入到实践学习中，积极迎接挑战，并与同学合作解决技术问题，被带入到一个充满创新和团队合作的世界，这表明他们成为了具有团队精神的积极学习者。故选C。
28．A 29．C 30．B 31．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。大量证据表明，当我们运用头脑风暴共同产生想法时，我们无法最大限度地提高集体智慧。为了挖掘团队中隐藏的潜力，我们最好进行“书面头脑风暴法”。
28．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“You start by asking group members to write down what is going on in their brains separately. Next, you pool them and share them among the group without telling the authors. Then, each member evaluates them on his or her own, only after which do the team members come together to select and improve the most promising options. (你首先要求小组成员分别写下他们大脑中发生的事情。接下来，你将它们汇集在一起，并在不告诉作者的情况下在小组中共享。然后，每个成员自己对其进行评估，只有在评估之后，团队成员才会聚集在一起，选择并改进最有希望的选项。)”可知，与头脑风暴相比，书面头脑风暴法的特别之处在于它强调独立工作。故选A。
29．推理判断题。根据第三段的首句“An example of great brainwriting was in 2010 when 33 miners were trapped underground in Chile. (2010年，智利有33名矿工被困井下，这就是一个伟大的脑力写作的例子。)”可推知，作者在本段提到智利的采矿事故是为了说明书面头脑风暴法的成功应用。故选C。
30．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The brainwriting process ensures that all ideas are brought to the table and all voices are brought into conversation. The goal isn’t to be the smartest person in the room. (书面头脑风暴法确保所有的想法都能被带到桌面上，所有的声音都能被带入对话。我们的目标不是成为房间里最聪明的人。)”可知，书面头脑风暴法要求每个人都参与，贡献自己的智慧。因此，通过允许平等参与促进集体智力。故选B。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“Collective intelligence begins with individual creativity, but it doesn’t end there. Individuals produce a greater volume and variety of novel ideas when they work alone. That means they not only come up with more brilliant ideas than groups but also more terrible ideas. Therefore, it takes collective judgment to find the signal in the noise and bring out the best ideas. (集体智慧始于个人创造力，但它并没有就此结束。当个人独自工作时，他们会产生更多的新颖想法。这意味着他们不仅提出了比团体更聪明的想法，而且提出了更可怕的想法。因此，需要集体判断才能在噪声中找到信号并提出最佳想法。)”可知，集体智慧始于个人创造力，但是在个人产生想法后，要有集体判断才能得到最佳想法。因此本段强调了共同讨论的重要性。故选D。
32．B 33．B 34．D 35．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是《黑神话：悟空》通过融合传统中国文化与现代游戏技术，吸引国内外玩家并促进文化旅游的发展。
32．推理判断题。根据首段中的“This game has not only gained great popularity within China but has also captivated international audiences, many of whom may not be familiar with the complexities of the classic Chinese novel “Journey to the West”, from which the game draws its inspiration. (这款游戏不仅在中国国内广受欢迎，还吸引了国际观众的关注，尽管其中许多人可能并不熟悉经典中国小说《西游记》的复杂情节，而这款游戏正是从中汲取灵感的。)”以及第二段中的““Black Myth: Wukong” is a proof to the perfect integration of traditional Chinese cultural elements with modern gaming technology.(《黑神话：悟空》是传统中国文化元素与现代游戏技术完美结合的证明。)”可知，尽管很多人不熟悉中国小说《西游记》的复杂情节，但仍受到国内外的欢迎，且游戏将丰富的文化元素和复杂的故事情节相结合，由此可知，《黑神话：悟空》的国际吸引力主要来自于复杂的情节和文化元素。故选B项。
33．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The Shanxi Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism has cleverly capitalized on the game’s popularity by releasing a promotional video that highlights real-life locations featured in the game, such as Xiaoxitian and Yuhuang Temple. This has led to a surge of cultural pilgrimages to these historic sites, as fans of the game seek to experience the real-world counterparts of the virtual wonders they have explored.(山西省文化和旅游厅巧妙地利用了游戏的流行度，发布了一部宣传视频，重点介绍了游戏中出现的真实地点，例如小西天和玉皇庙。这引发了一股文化朝圣潮，游戏玩家纷纷前往这些历史遗址，以亲身体验他们在虚拟世界中探索过的奇迹。)”可知，为了利用游戏的流行度，山西省文化和旅游厅制作了一部宣传视频。故选B项。
34．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This research has led to an almost exact copy of China’s breathtaking landscapes, grand temples, and delicate sculptures inside the game.(这项研究使得游戏中几乎完全复制了中国令人叹为观止的景观、宏伟的寺庙和精致的雕塑。)”可知，研究的意义在于实现了对中国景观的高精度复制。故选D项。
35．细节理解题。根据尾段中的““Black Myth: Wukong” is not just a game; it is a cultural phenomenon that bridges the gap between traditional Chinese culture and modern gaming, creating an experience that is both educational and entertaining.(《黑神话：悟空》不仅仅是一款游戏；它是一种文化现象，弥合了中国传统文化与现代游戏之间的差距，创造了一种既教育又娱乐的体验。)”可知，开发团队通过将文化元素融入游戏玩法，成功实现了弥合中国传统文化与现代游戏之间的差距。故选C项。
36．A 37．E 38．B 39．F 40．G
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了“睡前拖延症”的现象及其危害，并提供了几种改善睡眠习惯的建议。
36．根据上文“This is my only uninterrupted time.(这是我唯一不受打扰的时间)”可知，作者想要充分利用这段自由时间。由此可知，A. I want to maximize it(我想充分利用它)能够承接上文，符合语境。故选A。
37．根据上文“Move up your “me” time. Although this might not be possible for everyone, consider shifting your self-care tasks to earlier time in the day.(提前你的“自我”时间。虽然这可能不适合每个人，但考虑把你的自我照顾任务转移到一天中的早些时候)”可知，此处讲的是如何节省时间。由此可知，E. Invest in a high-end dishwasher to get in a quick yoga session (投资一台高端洗碗机，来一次快速的瑜伽练习)是一个具体的建议，说明如何通过节省家务时间来获得更多的自我时间，符合语境。故选E。
38．根据下文“When you scroll on your phone or watch TV in bed, weekdays or weekends, you’re training your brain to think that’s what you’re supposed to do in bed. A good choice is to reserve your bed for sleep, especially if you struggle to fall asleep at night.(当你在床上玩手机或看电视时，无论是工作日还是周末，你都在训练你的大脑，让它认为那是你应该在床上做的事情。一个不错的选择是保留你的床睡觉，特别是如果你晚上难以入睡)”可知，这一段讨论的是如何避免在床上做其他活动，如刷手机或看电视，因为这会让大脑习惯在床上做这些事情，而不是睡觉。由此可知，B. Don’t hang out in bed (不要在床上闲逛)直接点明了这一建议，强调要将床仅用于睡觉，符合语境。故选B。
39．根据下文“Create a relaxing bedtime routine. Create one that you look forward to. Practice yoga, take a warm shower, or listen to an audiobook — the key is to do whatever you find most calming and enjoyable. Experts also recommend washing your face and brushing your teeth, right after dinner.(创造一个放松的睡前习惯。创造一个你期待的。练习瑜伽，洗个热水澡，或者听一本有声读物——关键是做任何你觉得最平静、最愉快的事情。专家还建议，晚饭后马上洗脸刷牙)”可知，这一段建议创建一个放松的睡前例程。由此可知，F. Then it won’t be such an effort to get into bed when you feel sleepy (这样当你觉得困的时候就不用费力上床了)解释了为什么这些睡前活动很重要，因为它们可以帮助你更容易地进入睡眠状态，符合语境。故选F。
40．根据上文“Do remember, overcoming bedtime procrastination is not about perfection, but progress.(记住，克服睡前拖延症不是完美的问题，而是进步的问题)”及下文“Start tonight by setting a reasonable bedtime and sticking to it.(从今晚开始，设定一个合理的就寝时间，并坚持下去)”可知，最后一段强调克服睡前拖延不是一蹴而就的，而是需要持续的进步。由此可知，G. Small but consistent changes bring significant improvements over time(随着时间的推移，小而一致的改变会带来显著的改善)能够承上启下，总结了前文观点，并引起下文，符合语境。故选G。
41．B 42．A 43．D 44．C 45．D 46．A 47．D 48．C 49．B 50．B 51．C 52．C 53．A 54．A 55．B

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了随着津巴布韦——中国中医针灸中心在首都哈拉雷开设中医展览室，中医在津巴布韦越来越受欢迎。
56．考查非谓语动词。句意：该展览室成立的目的是向公众介绍中医文化和疗法，于6月开放。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，establish 与逻辑主语 the exhibition room 之间是被动关系，即“展览室被建立”，所以用过去分词形式 Established。故填Established。
57．考查固定短语。句意：除了针灸，这个房间还致力于中医的其他方面，包括中草药、按摩治疗工具、拔罐工具、中草药的制备方法和相关书籍。“be devoted to” 是固定短语，意为 “致力于；专注于”，所以此处用介词 to。故填to。
58．考查名词复数形式。句意：除了针灸，这个房间还致力于中医的其他方面，包括中草药、按摩治疗工具、拔罐工具、中草药的制备方法和相关书籍。“approach”表示“方法；方式” 时是可数名词，根据语境，此处指 “制备中药的方法”，不止一种方法，所以用复数形式 approaches。故填approaches。
59．考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：自2020年开业以来，在该中心接受免费治疗的患者数量有所增加。根据时间状语“since its opening in 2020”可知，句子的时态应用现在完成时，表示从过去持续到现在的动作；或者现在完成进行时，表示动作从过去开始持续到现在，并有可能继续持续下去。句子主语“The number of patients”（……的数量）作主语时，谓语动词用单数，助动词用has。故填has increased/ has been increasing。
60．考查定语从句。句意：路易莎·马德扎是中医的受益者，她说这个古老的传统帮助她缓解了困扰她十多年的背痛。分析句子结构，设空处引导定语从句，先行词是back pain，指物，在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词that 或which引导定语从句。故填which/ that。
61．考查非谓语动词。句意：如今，一群从中医培训课程毕业的津巴布韦人正在努力满足患者的需求。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰a group of Zimbabweans，a group of Zimbabweans和graduate为主动关系，所以为现在分词形式。故填graduating。
62．考查冠词。句意：Munashe Mboneka是该中心的一名助理，在意识到这门课程的好处和不断增长的需求后，她决定参加这门课程。此处表示“中心的一名助手”，表泛指，且assistant 读音以元音音素开头，所以用不定冠词 an。故填an。
63．考查名词。句意：我很自豪地说，我们的诊所越来越受欢迎。根据“is gaining”可知，此处应填名词作宾语，“popular”（受欢迎的）的名词形式是 popularity，“gain popularity”意为 “受到欢迎；获得人气”。故填popularity。
64．考查形容词。句意：人们正在认识到中医的好处和自然治疗方法，我们诊所的方法与那些寻求有效、长期健康解决方案的人产生了共鸣，Mboneka说。修饰名词短语“long-term health solutions”应用形容词，“effect”（效果；影响）的形容词形式是 effective（有效的）。故填effective。
65．考查动词不定式。句意：这激励我们继续为我们的社区提供最好的护理。“motivate sb. to do sth.” 是固定短语，意为 “激励某人做某事”，所以此处用 动词不定式to keep。故填to keep。

67．The next morning, when Mom opened the fridge for breakfast, she froze, finding the bag of meatballs was just there. It dawned on her that the “meatballs” Uncle Vince had enjoyed so much were actually cake balls she had mistakenly taken out of the freezer. Panic surged through her as she recalled how Uncle Vince had raved about them. She wondered if he had noticed the mix-up or if he was just being polite. The realization was both hilarious and nerve-wracking, leaving her in a state of disbelief as she imagined Uncle Vince's reaction if he found out the truth.
Mom closed the fridge and whispered to Dad and me, “Don’t tell anyone. Wait for further response from Uncle Vince.” We exchanged amused glances, the secret creating a bond between us. As breakfast progressed, I could see Mom stealing glances at Uncle Vince, who seemed oblivious to the mix-up, still basking in the afterglow of last night’s dinner. The air was filled with laughter and lighthearted banter, but Mom’s mind was racing. Finally, she decided to come clean to Uncle Vince the next time he visited. After all, the joy of family meals was in the memories we created together, even if they were sprinkled with unexpected surprises.

Florida’s famous beach town is steeped in auto-racing history, but a vacation in Daytona Beach can also let you slow down for cultural attractions, lively riverside neighborhoods, pedestrian-friendly places for exploring, and a festival calendar that goes year-round. The following are the best seasons to visit Daytona Beach.
Spring: Daytona Beach Bike Week in February and March attracts motorcycle crowds and culture. During springtime migration, visitors can spot northern sea birds in coastal environments. In April, the Daytona Beach Arts Fest immerses downtown in juried art, creative craftworks, live music, and more.
Summer: June, July, and August are ideal months for fishing on the 1, 000-foot-long Halifax River, with no fishing license required. July is one of the best months for consistent waves at beach breaks along Daytona Beach. On the Hook Charters offers eco-tours on the river for dolphins, manatees, and myriad shorebirds.
Autumn: Mid-October’s Biketoberfest brings motorcycle enthusiasts back for live music, racing, and camaraderie. Saltwater fish species migrate south, and it’s a great time for offshore fishing for tarpon and sailfish. In November, the Halifax Art Festival spreads across downtown Daytona Beach featuring 150 artists who showcase their works.
Winter: Go kayaking and explore the welands in Tiger Bay State Forest, a habitat for black bears and a popular place for cycling and horseback riding on forest roads. And the weather is perfect for a round of golf at one of the city’s world-class golf courses, like LPGA International.

Kristin Donley teaches students who have felt completely disconnected in school or just dropped out. They’ re not an easy bunch to motivate.
But Donley has found a surprising hook: drones (无人机).
“I quickly recognized that these kids needed something to inspire them,” said Donley, who teaches at Arapahoe Ridge High School and presented her work June 24 at the International Society for Technology in Education’s annual conference here. “I wanted to bring something that was relevant, something they’d heard a lot about, that they think is interesting, but have probably never touched.”
She partnered with a local post-secondary institution, Front Range Community College, which sent its students to help Donley’s classes use computer coding to fly drones through a maze (迷宫).
Donley’s students already knew drones were delivering everything from packages for companies like Amazon to pizza. They were also aware that the tech is being used in the military actions.
And because many of her students’ parents are agricultural workers, they’ d heard farmers use drones to monitor crops. Some even asked Donley how they could get a license to operate those drones.
During the drone activities, students were fully engaged in the hands-on learning experience. Faced with the task of coding and piloting drones through a maze, they eagerly embraced the challenge. With the instructors’ guidance, they collaborated with classmates to solve technical problems, mastering the skills required to successfully navigate the drones. The activities drew students into a world of innovation and teamwork that they found far more charming than their mobile phones.
Donley’s advice for educators considering teaching with drones “Jump in,” she said. “It’s worth it.”
24．Why did Donley apply drones to her class
A．To stimulate their interest.
B．To introduce new technology.
C．To develop their ability in presentation.
D．To partner with a local post-secondary institution.
25．What is a drone like in those students’ mind
A．Useful but dangerous. B．Advanced but inaccessible.
C．Practical and appealing. D．Convenient and complicated.
26．What made the drone activities possible for the students
A．Donley’s degree. B．Students’ teamwork.
C．Their parents’ perspectives. D．An institution’s support.
27．How did the students benefit from the drone activities
A．They got licenses to pilot drones.
B．They were glued to their mobile phones.
C．They became active learners with team spirits.
D．They made progress in their academic performance.
When we encounter a troublesome problem, we often gather a group to brainstorm. However, substantial evidence has shown that when we generate ideas together, we fail to maximize collective intelligence.
To unearth the hidden potential in teams, we’re better off shifting to a process called “brainwriting”. You start by asking group members to write down what is going on in their brains separately. Next, you pool them and share them among the group without telling the authors. Then, each member evaluates them on his or her own, only after which do the team members come together to select and improve the most promising options. By developing and assessing ideas individually before choosing and expanding on them, the team can surface and advance possibilities that might not get attention otherwise.
An example of great brainwriting was in 2010 when 33 miners were trapped underground in Chile. Given the urgency of the situation, the rescue team didn’t hold brainstorming sessions. Rather, they established a global brainwriting system to generate individual ideas. A 24-year-old engineer came up with a tiny plastic telephone. This specialized tool ended up becoming the only means of communicating with the miners, making it possible to save them.
Research by organizational behavior scholar Anita Woolley and her colleagues helps to explain why this method works. They find that the key to collective intelligence is balanced participation. In brainstorming meetings, it’s too easy for participation to become one-sided in favor of the loudest voices. The brainwriting process ensures that all ideas are brought to the table and all voices are brought into conversation. The goal isn’t to be the smartest person in the room. It’s to make the room smarter.
Collective intelligence begins with individual creativity, but it doesn’t end there. Individuals produce a greater volume and variety of novel ideas when they work alone. That means they not only come up with more brilliant ideas than groups but also more terrible ideas. Therefore, it takes collective judgment to find the signal in the noise and bring out the best ideas.
28．What is special about brainwriting compared with brainstorming
A．It highlights independent work. B．It encourages group cooperation.
C．It prioritizes quality over quantity. D．It prefers writing to oral exchanges.
29．Why does the author mention the Chile mining accident in paragraph 3
A．To introduce a tool developed during brainwriting.
B．To praise a young man with brainwriting technique.
C．To illustrate a successful application of brainwriting.
D．To explain the role of brainwriting in communication.
30．How does brainwriting promote collective intelligence according to paragraph 4
A．By blocking the loudest voices. B．By allowing equal involvement.
C．By improving individual wisdom. D．By generating more creative ideas.
31．Which step of brainwriting does the author stress in the last paragraph
A．Individual writing. B．Group sharing.
C．Personal evaluation. D．Joint discussion.
The video game “Black Myth: Wukong” has been praised as a “masterpiece” by critics and enthusiasts alike, with many boldly predicting that it will be a strong competitor for the famed title of Game of the Year. This game has not only gained great popularity within China but has also captivated international audiences, many of whom may not be familiar with the complexities of the classic Chinese novel “Journey to the West”, from which the game draws its inspiration. Despite this, the game’s complex plot presents certain challenges for players who are not good at the slight differences of the source material.
“Black Myth: Wukong” is a proof to the perfect integration of traditional Chinese cultural elements with modern gaming technology. The game beautifully combines Daoist talismans (护身符), Buddhist artifacts, and ancient architectural wonders, creating a visually stunning experience that draws inspiration from iconic landmarks such as the Great Wall and the splendid Mount Huangshan. The Shanxi Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism has cleverly capitalized on the game’s popularity by releasing a promotional video that highlights real-life locations featured in the game, such as Xiaoxitian and Yuhuang Temple. This has led to a surge of cultural pilgrimages (朝圣) to these historic sites, as fans of the game seek to experience the real-world counterparts of the virtual wonders they have explored.
The development team’s dedication to authenticity is evident in their careful research in Shanxi, a region that boasts (自夸) 80 percent of China’s surviving wooden structures from the Yuan Dynasty and earlier periods. This research has led to an almost exact copy of China’s breathtaking landscapes, grand temples, and delicate sculptures inside the game. This remarkable achievement not only serves as a proof to the team’s dedication to authenticity but also stands as a powerful cultural export, allowing players from around the globe to experience the richness of Chinese heritage in an immersive (沉浸式的) and interactive manner.
The game’s success is a reflection of the growing influence of Chinese culture in the global gaming industry. “Black Myth: Wukong” is not just a game; it is a cultural phenomenon that bridges the gap between traditional Chinese culture and modern gaming, creating an experience that is both educational and entertaining. As the game continues to gain popularity, it is likely to attract even more players who are curious about Chinese mythology and history, further cementing its status as a global cultural icon.
32．“Black Myth: Wukong” appeals internationally mainly because of .
A．its simple plot and gameplay
B．its complicated plot and cultural elements
C．its focus on Western mythology
D．its lack of historical accuracy
33．To use the game’s popularity, the Shanxi Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism .
A．released a video game
B．created a promotional video
C．built new tourist attractions
D．published a travel guidebook
34．What is the significance of the development team’s research in Shanxi
A．It led to the creation of a new game engine.
B．It was used to develop a virtual reality experience.
C．It caused a decline in tourism to Shanxi.
D．It resulted in a near 1:1 reproduction of Chinese landscapes.
35．“Black Myth: Wukong” bridges the gap between traditional Chinese culture and modern gaming .
A．ignoring historical accuracy

C．integrating cultural elements into gameplay
D．using outdated graphics
How to Stop Procrastinating at Bedtime
When I have done the dishes, cleaned the living room, and shot off my last work email of the night, it is “me” time. It is also, cruelly, bedtime. I know I should sleep, but instead I stay up way too late scrolling (滚屏) on TikTok. This is my only uninterrupted time. 36 . Such phenomenon is called “bedtime procrastination”. People with stressful days and little control over their time are those who are most likely to fall into that category. However, all too often, bedtime procrastinators end up exhausted the next day, thus sinking into a terrible cycle. Here are some tips to regain control of your sleep.
·Move up your “me” time. Although this might not be possible for everyone, consider shifting your self-care tasks to earlier time in the day. 37 , or include meal preparation Sundays in your weekly routine so you can get the hours back that you would have spent cooking each weeknight.
· 38 . When you scroll on your phone or watch TV in bed, weekdays or weekends, you’re training your brain to think that’s what you’re supposed to do in bed. A good choice is to reserve your bed for sleep, especially if you struggle to fall asleep at night.
·Create a relaxing bedtime routine. Create one that you look forward to. Practice yoga, take a warm shower, or listen to an audiobook — the key is to do whatever you find most calming and enjoyable. Experts also recommend washing your face and brushing your teeth, right after dinner. 39 .
Do remember, overcoming bedtime procrastination is not about perfection, but progress. 40 . Whether you’re struggling with sleep problems or mental stress, addressing sleep procrastination can be a game-changer. Start tonight by setting a reasonable bedtime and sticking to it. Your future, well-rested self will thank you.

67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I could smell garlic and other Italian spices before I opened the front door. Mom was cooking because Uncle Vince was coming for dinner. As the only non-Italian in the family, she wanted to make a good impression on Uncle Vince, who was a very traditional Italian.
Mom opened the fridge, where lay two bags of food, one for meatballs and the other for cake balls. She hurriedly took out the bag of “meatballs” which she had cooked and frozen before. However, she didn’t realize that she had made a mistake, but later it became a surprise.
Mom carefully put the meatballs into the boiling pot of sauce and tried to make them expand, just like my Italian grandma used to do. The salad was ready, covered with a wet towel to keep it fresh. The table was set; the garlic bread was waiting to be put into the oven; the water for the spaghetti was almost boiling.
Uncle Vince arrived in time for dinner. We greeted each other just like Italians usually do. Then, he and Dad sat in the living room, chatting casually while Mom and I served the food. “Come on in, guys. Food is almost ready,” Mom said, with a confident smile on her face.
I passed Uncle Vince the bowl full of spaghetti, and then Dad handed him the plate of “meatballs” that had been heated in the sauce. When Uncle Vince saw the size of the “meatballs”, his eyes widened, and he couldn’t help licking (舔) his lips. He helped himself to three meatballs while Mom held her breath. Then he picked up one of the “meatballs” with his fork and took a big bite. He stopped for a moment and said, “The taste and spices of this ‘meatball’ are quite interesting. It is different but really good.” Mom finally relaxed. In fact, the “meatballs” were so good that after eating three, Uncle Vince had two more. Mom felt very happy, and the atmosphere of the family dinner was so harmonious.
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。
The next morning, when Mom opened the fridge for breakfast, she froze, finding the bag of meatballs was just there.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mom closed the fridge and whispered to Dad and me, “Don’t tell anyone. Wait for further response from Uncle Vince.”

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Kristin Donley老师如何利用无人机这一创新工具来激励那些在学校感到脱节或辍学的学生。
24．细节理解题。根据文章第三段““I quickly recognized that these kids needed something to inspire them,” said Donley, who teaches at Arapahoe Ridge High School and presented her work June 24 at the International Society for Technology in Education’s annual conference here. “I wanted to bring something that was relevant, something they’d heard a lot about, that they think is interesting, but have probably never touched.”(“我很快意识到，这些孩子需要一些东西来激励他们，”Donley说道。她在阿拉帕霍岭高中任教，并于6月24日在国际教育技术学会的年度会议上展示了自己的工作成果。“我想引入一些相关的东西，一些他们听说过很多、觉得有趣，但可能从未接触过的东西。”)”可知，Donley很快意识到她的学生需要一些东西来激励他们，她想引入一些学生们听说过很多、觉得有趣但从未接触过的东西，而无人机就是这样的东西。所以Donley将无人机应用到课堂上是为了激发学生的兴趣。故选A。
25．推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Donley’s students already knew drones were delivering everything from packages for companies like Amazon to pizza. They were also aware that the tech is being used in the military actions.(Donley的学生们早就知道，无人机可以运送从亚马逊等公司的包裹到披萨等各种物品。他们也知道这项技术正被用于军事行动中。)”以及第六段“And because many of her students’ parents are agricultural workers, they’ d heard farmers use drones to monitor crops. Some even asked Donley how they could get a license to operate those drones.(而且，由于她的很多学生的父母都是农业工人，他们听说过农民使用无人机来监测农作物。有些学生甚至问Donley，他们要如何才能获得操作无人机的许可证。)”可知，学生们知道无人机可以用来运送包裹和披萨，还应用于军事行动，并且农民也用无人机监测农作物，这体现了无人机在学生们眼中是很实用的；同时，有些学生甚至询问如何获得操作无人机的许可证，这表明他们对无人机很感兴趣，觉得无人机有吸引力。故选C。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。大量证据表明，当我们运用头脑风暴共同产生想法时，我们无法最大限度地提高集体智慧。为了挖掘团队中隐藏的潜力，我们最好进行“书面头脑风暴法”。
28．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“You start by asking group members to write down what is going on in their brains separately. Next, you pool them and share them among the group without telling the authors. Then, each member evaluates them on his or her own, only after which do the team members come together to select and improve the most promising options. (你首先要求小组成员分别写下他们大脑中发生的事情。接下来，你将它们汇集在一起，并在不告诉作者的情况下在小组中共享。然后，每个成员自己对其进行评估，只有在评估之后，团队成员才会聚集在一起，选择并改进最有希望的选项。)”可知，与头脑风暴相比，书面头脑风暴法的特别之处在于它强调独立工作。故选A。
29．推理判断题。根据第三段的首句“An example of great brainwriting was in 2010 when 33 miners were trapped underground in Chile. (2010年，智利有33名矿工被困井下，这就是一个伟大的脑力写作的例子。)”可推知，作者在本段提到智利的采矿事故是为了说明书面头脑风暴法的成功应用。故选C。
30．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The brainwriting process ensures that all ideas are brought to the table and all voices are brought into conversation. The goal isn’t to be the smartest person in the room. (书面头脑风暴法确保所有的想法都能被带到桌面上，所有的声音都能被带入对话。我们的目标不是成为房间里最聪明的人。)”可知，书面头脑风暴法要求每个人都参与，贡献自己的智慧。因此，通过允许平等参与促进集体智力。故选B。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“Collective intelligence begins with individual creativity, but it doesn’t end there. Individuals produce a greater volume and variety of novel ideas when they work alone. That means they not only come up with more brilliant ideas than groups but also more terrible ideas. Therefore, it takes collective judgment to find the signal in the noise and bring out the best ideas. (集体智慧始于个人创造力，但它并没有就此结束。当个人独自工作时，他们会产生更多的新颖想法。这意味着他们不仅提出了比团体更聪明的想法，而且提出了更可怕的想法。因此，需要集体判断才能在噪声中找到信号并提出最佳想法。)”可知，集体智慧始于个人创造力，但是在个人产生想法后，要有集体判断才能得到最佳想法。因此本段强调了共同讨论的重要性。故选D。
32．B 33．B 34．D 35．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是《黑神话：悟空》通过融合传统中国文化与现代游戏技术，吸引国内外玩家并促进文化旅游的发展。
32．推理判断题。根据首段中的“This game has not only gained great popularity within China but has also captivated international audiences, many of whom may not be familiar with the complexities of the classic Chinese novel “Journey to the West”, from which the game draws its inspiration. (这款游戏不仅在中国国内广受欢迎，还吸引了国际观众的关注，尽管其中许多人可能并不熟悉经典中国小说《西游记》的复杂情节，而这款游戏正是从中汲取灵感的。)”以及第二段中的““Black Myth: Wukong” is a proof to the perfect integration of traditional Chinese cultural elements with modern gaming technology.(《黑神话：悟空》是传统中国文化元素与现代游戏技术完美结合的证明。)”可知，尽管很多人不熟悉中国小说《西游记》的复杂情节，但仍受到国内外的欢迎，且游戏将丰富的文化元素和复杂的故事情节相结合，由此可知，《黑神话：悟空》的国际吸引力主要来自于复杂的情节和文化元素。故选B项。
33．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The Shanxi Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism has cleverly capitalized on the game’s popularity by releasing a promotional video that highlights real-life locations featured in the game, such as Xiaoxitian and Yuhuang Temple. This has led to a surge of cultural pilgrimages to these historic sites, as fans of the game seek to experience the real-world counterparts of the virtual wonders they have explored.(山西省文化和旅游厅巧妙地利用了游戏的流行度，发布了一部宣传视频，重点介绍了游戏中出现的真实地点，例如小西天和玉皇庙。这引发了一股文化朝圣潮，游戏玩家纷纷前往这些历史遗址，以亲身体验他们在虚拟世界中探索过的奇迹。)”可知，为了利用游戏的流行度，山西省文化和旅游厅制作了一部宣传视频。故选B项。
34．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This research has led to an almost exact copy of China’s breathtaking landscapes, grand temples, and delicate sculptures inside the game.(这项研究使得游戏中几乎完全复制了中国令人叹为观止的景观、宏伟的寺庙和精致的雕塑。)”可知，研究的意义在于实现了对中国景观的高精度复制。故选D项。
35．细节理解题。根据尾段中的““Black Myth: Wukong” is not just a game; it is a cultural phenomenon that bridges the gap between traditional Chinese culture and modern gaming, creating an experience that is both educational and entertaining.(《黑神话：悟空》不仅仅是一款游戏；它是一种文化现象，弥合了中国传统文化与现代游戏之间的差距，创造了一种既教育又娱乐的体验。)”可知，开发团队通过将文化元素融入游戏玩法，成功实现了弥合中国传统文化与现代游戏之间的差距。故选C项。

Don’t hang out in bed (不要在床上闲逛)直接点明了这一建议，强调要将床仅用于睡觉，符合语境。故选B。
39．根据下文“Create a relaxing bedtime routine. Create one that you look forward to.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了随着津巴布韦——中国中医针灸中心在首都哈拉雷开设中医展览室，中医在津巴布韦越来越受欢迎。
56．考查非谓语动词。句意：该展览室成立的目的是向公众介绍中医文化和疗法，于6月开放。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，establish 与逻辑主语 the exhibition room 之间是被动关系，即“展览室被建立”，所以用过去分词形式 Established。故填Established。
57．考查固定短语。句意：除了针灸，这个房间还致力于中医的其他方面，包括中草药、按摩治疗工具、拔罐工具、中草药的制备方法和相关书籍。“be devoted to” 是固定短语，意为 “致力于；专注于”，所以此处用介词 to。故填to。
58．考查名词复数形式。句意：除了针灸，这个房间还致力于中医的其他方面，包括中草药、按摩治疗工具、拔罐工具、中草药的制备方法和相关书籍。“approach”表示“方法；方式” 时是可数名词，根据语境，此处指 “制备中药的方法”，不止一种方法，所以用复数形式 approaches。故填approaches。
59．考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：自2020年开业以来，在该中心接受免费治疗的患者数量有所增加。根据时间状语“since its opening in 2020”可知，句子的时态应用现在完成时，表示从过去持续到现在的动作；或者现在完成进行时，表示动作从过去开始持续到现在，并有可能继续持续下去。句子主语“The number of patients”（……的数量）作主语时，谓语动词用单数，助动词用has。故填has increased/ has been increasing。
60．考查定语从句。句意：路易莎·马德扎是中医的受益者，她说这个古老的传统帮助她缓解了困扰她十多年的背痛。分析句子结构，设空处引导定语从句，先行词是back pain，指物，在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词that 或which引导定语从句。故填which/ that。
61．考查非谓语动词。句意：如今，一群从中医培训课程毕业的津巴布韦人正在努力满足患者的需求。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰a group of Zimbabweans，a group of Zimbabweans和graduate为主动关系，所以为现在分词形式。故填graduating。
62．考查冠词。句意：Munashe Mboneka是该中心的一名助理，在意识到这门课程的好处和不断增长的需求后，她决定参加这门课程。此处表示“中心的一名助手”，表泛指，且assistant 读音以元音音素开头，所以用不定冠词 an。故填an。
63．考查名词。句意：我很自豪地说，我们的诊所越来越受欢迎。根据“is gaining”可知，此处应填名词作宾语，“popular”（受欢迎的）的名词形式是 popularity，“gain popularity”意为 “受到欢迎；获得人气”。故填popularity。
64．考查形容词。句意：人们正在认识到中医的好处和自然治疗方法，我们诊所的方法与那些寻求有效、长期健康解决方案的人产生了共鸣，Mboneka说。修饰名词短语“long-term health solutions”应用形容词，“effect”（效果；影响）的形容词形式是 effective（有效的）。故填effective。
65．考查动词不定式。句意：这激励我们继续为我们的社区提供最好的护理。“motivate sb. to do sth.” 是固定短语，意为 “激励某人做某事”，所以此处用 动词不定式to keep。故填to keep。

67．The next morning, when Mom opened the fridge for breakfast, she froze, finding the bag of meatballs was just there. It dawned on her that the “meatballs” Uncle Vince had enjoyed so much were actually cake balls she had mistakenly taken out of the freezer. Panic surged through her as she recalled how Uncle Vince had raved about them. She wondered if he had noticed the mix-up or if he was just being polite. The realization was both hilarious and nerve-wracking, leaving her in a state of disbelief as she imagined Uncle Vince's reaction if he found out the truth.
Mom closed the fridge and whispered to Dad and me, “Don’t tell anyone. Wait for further response from Uncle Vince.” We exchanged amused glances, the secret creating a bond between us. As breakfast progressed, I could see Mom stealing glances at Uncle Vince, who seemed oblivious to the mix-up, still basking in the afterglow of last night’s dinner. The air was filled with laughter and lighthearted banter, but Mom’s mind was racing. Finally, she decided to come clean to Uncle Vince the next time he visited. After all, the joy of family meals was in the memories we created together, even if they were sprinkled with unexpected surprises.
