Bees are cute and give us delicious things, like honey, and useful things, like beeswax. But they’ve also got those infamous stingers (毒刺). Bees can be a little scary, and in groups, they can be deadly. So when reports hit the news about Colony Collapse Disorder (蜂群崩溃症候群), some of us might have thought, what’s the big deal
What would happen if all the bees died Unfortunately, we’d lose a lot more than organic candles if bees went extinct. There are more than 20,000 species of bees in the world. Together, they are probably the most important group of insect pollinators (传粉者). If all the bees suddenly disappeared, there would be a gap in our ecosystems that would be very hard to fill. First, flowers would likely go extinct without bees. Other plants that bees pollinate might survive with other pollinators. But they would be at a disadvantage.
Some animals rely on bees for food. If we lost bees, some of our most beautiful natural species could be next. All these changes would have chain effects throughout ecosystems and into human society. Humanity probably wouldn’t starve without bees with many of our main crops pollinated by the wind. But nutritious fruits and vegetables could be lost or become so expensive that few people could afford them. And eating healthily is hard enough as it is. It’s hard to know just how such a huge change to the natural world would end.
Luckily, this is just an imagination, right But, Colony Collapse Disorder is very real. Scientists believe human activity is to blame. The loss of bees has also been linked to the pesticides we use and to man-made climate change. And some studies showed that it’s not just bees. Insect numbers have dropped dramatically over the last few decades. Nearly half of all insect lives may have died out in the last 35 years. Bees and other bugs may be a little scary, but a world without them would be much scarier.
1.How does the author lead in the topic in paragraph 1
A. By listing the harms bees bring about. B. By explaining a theory about bees.
C. By reviewing the history of bees. D. By telling facts about bees.
2.Why are bees important in the ecosystem
A. They help control other insects’ populations. B. They provide honey and beeswax.
C. They serve as a key link in the ecosystem. D. They pollinate our main crops.
3.What is the possible danger if bees died out
A. Loss of biodiversity and food variety. B. Endangered insects becoming extinct.
C. Climate change speeding up its pace. D. The rapid growth of certain flowers.
4.Which can be a suitable title for the passage
A. Bees: Cute But Dangerous B. Colony Collapse Disorder Is Real
C. Honey: A Double-edged Sword D. Bees Are a Threat to Humans
阅读B (2025·南京模拟) 体裁:说明文 主题语境:自我防护 难度:★★★☆☆
Somewhere in the sky, lightning is forming. Although the possibility of getting struck in your lifetime is roughly 1 in 12,000, a human does provide an attractive target for lightning bolts (闪电). Here’s what you should expect if you ever find yourself in the path of lightning.
A lot can happen in the three milliseconds it takes for a lightning bolt to course through your body. Lightning strikes may leave you with deep wounds, often accompanied with third degree burns. Your clothes might even be torn by the explosive force of the surrounding air being superheated to up to 27,700 ℃. Blood vessels (血管) exploding from the electric shock and heat often create something called a Lichtenberg figure on your skin. This is a pattern of scars (伤疤) that branches out across your body like a tree.
But it doesn’t end there. You might also be faced with a lifetime of neurological (神经系统的) conditions for reasons that scientists still don’t fully understand. It’s also possible that you will suffer from pain.
In some cases, however, a lightning strike can lead to strange super talents. In a blog post, University of Miami neuroscientist Berit Brogaard writes about an incident where a surgeon who was struck by lightning developed an urge to learn to play the piano. He began to compose music he had started hearing in his head since the strike. This type of phenomenon confuses scientists.
One theory that Brogaard says is that cell death caused by being struck by lightning could cause a one-time flooding of the brain with neurotransmitters (神经递质) that are released from the dying neurons (神经元). This causes a rewiring of neurons, providing access to areas of the brain that were previously inaccessible.
Cool as it would be, you shouldn’t count on lightning turning you into a genius in one flash. Most of its results are painful, and could stay with you for the rest of your life.
5.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A. 1 in 12,000 may die from lightning bolts.
B. Lightning attacks can heat bodies to 27,700 ℃.
C. Branching scars are typical after lightning attacks.
D. Humans are the most likely target for lightning bolts.
6.What happened to the surgeon after the strike
A. His unexplored brain areas were activated.
B. His brain was left in a fixed state of death.
C. He suffered a lifetime of neurological pain.
D. He recalled hidden memories about music.
7.What does the underlined word “This” refer to in paragraph 5
A. The cell death due to lightning strikes. B. The flooding of the brain’s neurotransmitters.
C. The rewiring of brain neurons. D. The release of dying neurons.
8.What is the text mainly about
A. The process of lightning formation.
B. The chances of surviving a lightning strike.
C. The possibility of lightning making a genius.
D. The consequences of being struck by lightning.
七选五 体裁:说明文 主题语境:人际交往 难度:★★★☆☆
While most of us work hard to shine at the presentations and speeches we can prepare for, we may find impromptu (即兴的) communication scary. Actually, you just need to learn specific skills to communicate effectively when put on the spot. Here are a few pointers.
1 What do you want your audience to know How do you want them to feel, and what do you want them to do Having a clear objective paired with an awareness of your audience will narrow your focus. Then you can prioritize what to say and choose your exact words more wisely.
Organize your thoughts. When making formal presentations, most people give a logical structure that audiences can easily follow. But few of us adequately organize thoughts in impromptu situations. 2 In fact, the best speakers maintain audience interest by demonstrating connections among specific points, ideas, for example.
Listen as well as you talk. 3 You should do the opposite: focus on listening so that you can better understand the in-the-moment needs and interests of your conversation partners and respond more effectively. Paraphrasing or asking open-ended follow-up questions can help confirm your understanding and provide extra time to think about your response.
Dare to be dull. Don’t feel you need to give a standout performance. One popular saying applies here, “ 4 ” Listeners are more likely to trust and approve of you when you speak like a human being rather than an actor or a robot. Research shows that the most effective speech includes moderate use of fillers such as “um” and “uh”.
The real problem in impromptu communication isn’t an inability to communicate. 5 Fortunately, a measure of experimentation thought, and practice of the skills can make impromptu speaking opportunities your time to shine.
A. Identify a communication goal.
B. He knows most who speaks least.
C. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
D. It’s being so nervous that we struggle with the talks.
E. We may assume that it’s impossible to do so on the fly.
F. A clear structure enhances comprehension and engagement.
G. Most people obsess over what to say during impromptu encounters.

In modern society loneliness can be seen as a social phenomenon and people can experience loneliness for many reasons. It is a very common, though normally temporary, 1 of a breakup, divorce, or loss of any important long-term relationship. In these cases, loneliness may result both from the loss of a specific person and from the 2 from social circles. The loss of a significant person in one’s life will typically initiate a grief response; in this situation, one might feel lonely, even while in the company of others.
Loneliness may also result from any socially disruptive (破裂的) event, such as moving from one’s home town into 3 communities leading to homesickness. Loneliness can also occur in places with low population densities in which there are comparatively few people to 4 .
There are many different ways used to 5 loneliness. The first step that most doctors recommend to patients is therapy. Short-term therapy typically occurs over a period of ten to twenty weeks. During therapy, emphasis is put on understanding the cause of the problem, 6 the negative thoughts, feelings, and attitudes resulting from the problem, and exploring ways to help the patient feel connected. Some doctors also recommend 7 therapy as a means to connect with other sufferers and establish a support system. It may take several attempts before a suitable anti-depressant medication is found. Some patients may also develop resistance to a certain type of medication and need to 8 periodically.
Another treatment is animal-assisted therapy.

Beyond the companionship the animal itself provides there may also be increased opportunities for 10 with other pet owners. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention there are a number of other health benefits associated with pet ownership, such as lowered blood pressure. In addition, some other alternative approaches may include exercise, dieting, etc., which many patients find have a 11 effect on relieving symptoms. Results of a study also suggest that correcting maladaptive social cognition (认知) offers the best chance of 12 loneliness.
Nevertheless, loneliness can sometimes play an important role in the 13 process. In some people, temporary or prolonged loneliness can lead to notable artistic and creative expression, for example, as was the case with poet Emily Dickinson, and numerous musicians. This is not to imply that loneliness itself ensures this creativity, 14 , it may have an influence on the subject matter of the artist and more likely be present in individuals 15 creative activities.

1.D 推理判断题。根据第一段“蜜蜂很可爱，给我们提供美味的东西，比如蜂蜜，还有有用的东西，比如蜂蜡。但它们也有臭名昭著的毒刺。蜜蜂可能有点可怕，成群结队的蜜蜂可能是致命的。因此，当有关蜂群衰竭失调症的报道出现在新闻中时，我们中的一些人可能会想，这有什么大不了的 ”可知，作者在第一段通过讲述蜜蜂的事实引出主题。故选D。
2.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“If all the bees suddenly disappeared, there would be a gap in our ecosystems that would be very hard to fill. First, flowers would likely go extinct without bees. Other plants that bees pollinate might survive with other pollinators. But they would be at a disadvantage.(如果所有的蜜蜂突然消失，我们的生态系统将出现一个很难填补的空白。首先，如果没有蜜蜂，花很可能会灭绝。蜜蜂授粉的其他植物可能会依靠其他传粉者生存。但它们将处于不利地位)”可知，蜜蜂在生态系统中如此重要是因为它们是生态系统的关键环节。故选C。
3.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“First, flowers would likely go extinct without bees. Other plants that bees pollinate might survive with other pollinators.(首先，如果没有蜜蜂，花很可能会灭绝。蜜蜂授粉的其他植物可能会依靠其他传粉者生存)”以及第三段中的“Humanity probably wouldn’t starve without bees with many of our main crops pollinated by the wind. But nutritious fruits and vegetables could be lost or become so expensive that few people could afford them.(如果没有蜜蜂，人类可能不会挨饿，因为我们的许多主要作物都是靠风授粉的。但是营养丰富的水果和蔬菜可能会丢失，或者变得非常昂贵，以至于很少有人能买得起)”可知，如果蜜蜂灭绝了，会导致生物多样性和粮食品种的丧失。故选A。
4.B 标题归纳题。根据第一段中的“So when reports hit the news about Colony Collapse Disorder (蜂群衰竭失调症候群), some of us might have thought, what’s the big deal (因此，当有关蜂群衰竭失调症的报道出现在新闻中时，我们中的一些人可能会想，这有什么大不了的 )”结合文章主要说明了蜂群衰竭失调症会导致蜜蜂灭绝，而蜜蜂灭绝会导致生物多样性和粮食品种的丧失。由此可知，B选项“蜂群衰竭失调是真实存在的”最符合作文章标题。故选B。

这是一篇议论文。文章讲述了产生孤独的原因，解决孤独的方法。最后作者还提到，孤独对创意的工作在某种程度上是有积极作用的。
1.C 考查名词词义辨析。句意：这是分手、离婚或失去任何重要的长期关系的常见后果，但通常是暂时的。type “类型”； concern “担心，关心”； consequence “结果，后果”； evidence “证据”。前句提到“孤独”有很多种原因，空前的It指的就是“孤独”，而后面提及的“分手、离婚或者失去任何重要的长期关系”会造成一个结果，即孤独。故选C。
2.A 考查名词词义辨析。句意：在这些情况下，孤独可能是因为失去一个特定的人，也可能是因为退出社交圈。withdrawal “撤退，收回”； absence “缺席”； disappearance “消失”； presence “存在，出席”。上文提到了 “失去任何重要的长期关系”呼应此处，表示退出社交圈。故选A。
3.D 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：孤独感也可能是任何社会性破裂事件的结果，比如从家乡搬到陌生的社区导致思乡。informal “非正式的”； uncertain “不确定的”； relevant “相关的”； unfamiliar “不熟悉的”。空后面提到了 “思乡” ，这是由于不熟悉陌生的社区而导致的。故选D。
4.B 考查动词短语辨析。句意：孤独感也可能发生在人口密度较低的地方，那里与之交往的人相对较少。turn to “求助于”； interact with “与……交流，互动”； long for “渴望”； share with “与……分享”。空前提到“人口密度低”，所以与人的互动会比较少。故选B。
5.D 考查动词词义辨析。句意：有许多不同的方法用来治疗孤独。release “释放，发布，发泄”； observe “观察，遵守，庆祝”； monitor “监视”； treat “治疗”。后文在讲述治疗孤独的方法。故选D。
6.A 考查动词词义辨析。句意：在治疗过程中，重点是了解问题的原因，扭转由问题引起的消极思想、感觉和态度，并探索帮助患者感到相互联系的方法。reverse “颠倒，完全改变”； direct “指导”； measure “丈量”； pursue “追求，追逐”。此处的动词和前句的“了解问题”以及后句的“探索方法”构成内在的逻辑。先了解原因，扭转思想、感觉和态度再探索方法。故选A。
7.D 考查形容词/名词词义辨析。句意：一些医生还建议将团体治疗作为与其他患者联系和建立支持系统的手段。long-term “长期的”； sightseeing “观光的，旅游的”； patient “有耐心的”； group “团体”。根据空后提到“和其他患者的相互联系和建立支持系统”可知，这是一种“群体治疗方法”。故选D。
8.C 考查动词词义辨析。句意：有些病人可能对某种药物产生耐药性，需要定期更换。quit “离开，放弃”； evolve “发展，进化”； switch “开关，转换”； exercise “锻炼，练习”。空前提到因为“可能对某种药物产生耐药性”，所以才需要定期“更换”。故选C。
9.D 考查动词词义辨析。句意：研究和调查表明，狗、猫、兔子和豚鼠等动物同伴的存在可以缓解一些患者的孤独感或抑郁情绪。confirm “确认，证实”； protest “抗议”； enhance “加强”； ease “减轻”。此处讲的是另外一种治疗办法——利用动物的陪伴。下文提到养宠物还有很多其他的健康益处，比如降低血压。由此可知，动物同伴给患者带来了好处，可以缓解患者的孤独感或抑郁情绪。故选D。
10.A 考查动词词义辨析。句意：除了动物本身提供的陪伴之外，与其他宠物主人交往的机会也可能增加。socialize “社交，交际”； interfere “妨碍”； compare “比较，对照”； copy “复制，抄写”。养动物的人会和其他宠物主人交流，因此会增加与其他宠物主人交往的机会。故选A。
11.B 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：此外，其他一些替代方法可能包括锻炼、节食等，许多患者发现这些方法对缓解症状有恢复作用。historic “历史性的，有历史意义的”； restorative “有助于复原的，恢复健康的”； decisive “决定性的，果断的”； permanent “永久的，永恒的”。此处仍在讲述治疗孤独症的方法，此处的锻炼、节食等都是有助于缓解孤独和恢复健康的。故选B。
12.C 考查动词词义辨析。句意：研究结果还表明，纠正不适应的社会认知提供了减少孤独的最佳机会。promote “促进，晋升”； enhance “加强”； reduce “减少”； strive “努力，奋斗”。根据空前提到“纠正不适应的社会认知”可知，也是治疗孤独的方法，可以减少孤独。故选C。
13.A 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：然而，孤独有时在创作过程中扮演着重要的角色。creative “有创意的”； musical “音乐的”； artistic “艺术的”； poetic “诗歌的”。根据后文提到了 “creative expression” 和 “creative activities” 可知，第13空和它们相呼应，都在强调创作过程。故选A。
14.C 考查副词词义辨析。句意：这并不意味着孤独本身就保证了这种创造力，相反，它可能对艺术家的题材产生影响，更有可能出现在从事创作活动的个人身上。however “然而”； therefore “因此”； rather “相反”； otherwise “否则”。空前提到“孤独本身无法保证创造力”，而后文提到“对艺术家的题材产生影响”。此处前后两句表示“对立”。故选C。
15.B 考查动词短语辨析。句意同上。restrict to “限制”； engage in “从事，忙于”； concern about “担心，关心”； alter by “改变”。前句提到孤独对艺术的影响体现在艺术家的题材和个人身上，此处的个人是“从事”创作的人。也是和前文提到的poet和musicians等。故选B。(共79张PPT)

7.What does the underlined word “This” refer to in paragraph 5
The cell death due to lightning strikes.
B. The flooding of the brain’s neurotransmitters.
C. The rewiring of brain neurons.
D. The release of dying neurons.
B 代词指代题。根据第五段“布罗加德说，一种理论是，被闪电击中导致的细胞死亡可能会导致大脑中神经递质的一次性泛滥，这些神经递质是从垂死的神经元释放出来的。 This 会导致神经元的重新连接，从而进入以前无法进入的大脑区域。”可知，This是指代上文提到的a one-time flooding of the brain with neurotransmitters (神经递质)，即大脑神经递质的泛滥。故选B。
答案与解析
8.What is the text mainly about
A. The process of lightning formation.
B. The chances of surviving a lightning strike.
C. The possibility of lightning making a genius.
D. The consequences of being struck by lightning.
D 主旨大意题。根据第一段“在天空的某个地方，闪电正在形成。虽然在你的一生中被击中的可能性大约是1/12000，但人类确实为闪电提供了一个有吸引力的目标。如果你发现自己处于闪电的路径上，你应该这样想。”和最后一段“尽管这很酷，但你不应该指望闪电会在一瞬间把你变成天才。它的大部分结果都是痛苦的，可能会伴随你一生。”可知，这篇文章主要介绍被闪电击中的后果。故选D。

(阅读C、D)
“I never could have imagined this is how my life could turn out，” says Melody Mnisi. “Now it’s my dream to introduce young people to nature and to inspire young African women like me to believe anything is possible.” Melody is a 23-year-old South African and has just been
qualified as a field guide. Despite growing up very close to Kruger National Park, a world-famous safari (游猎) destination, she never had the chance to see or enjoy its wildlife. “This was something for white people, not poor black people like me，” she says. “I always wondered what was on the other side of the fence.” But everything changed for Melody when she completed a Wild Shots Outreach (WSO) photography course, learning how to use a camera and going on her first-ever game drive. “I could not believe my eyes, seeing all this wildlife and capturing my memories and stories,” she says. “It is such an honor to be in nature.”
WSO is the educational outreach arm of Wild Shots, a photography conference in Africa that ran for nine years prior to 2020. Its aim is to engage disadvantaged young Africans in wildlife conservation through photography and by providing an introduction to the natural world, helping to nurture (培育) the conservationists of tomorrow.
The initiative came about in 2015 and was the passion project of Mike Kendrick, a life-science teacher and photographer. Moving to the Greater Kruger area to live in the bush, Mike was discouraged to see the lack of engagement between young South Africans and their natural environment. Not only that, in six years of helping to run Wild Shots, he did not come across a single wildlife, landscape or outdoor photographer of color in South Africa.
本文是一篇记叙文。文章围绕非洲女性Melody Mnisi加入WSO后获得新生展开，介绍了WSO通过提供摄影课程来促进非洲人参与野生动物保护。
9.What can we learn about Melody Mnisi
A. She helped set up WSO.
B. She was born a photographer.
C. She was grateful to be a field guide.
D. She shared photos of wildlife online.
C 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“‘I could not believe my eyes, seeing all this wildlife and capturing my memories and stories,’ she says. ‘It is such an honor to be in nature.’ (‘我无法相信我的眼睛，看到所有这些野生动物并捕捉到我的回忆和故事，’她说。‘能够身处自然之中是如此的荣幸。’)”可知，Melody Mnisi对于能当一名野外向导心存感激。故选C。
答案与解析
10.What has changed Melody’s life
A. WSO photography course.
B. Her willingness to help others.
C. Mike Kendrick’s encouragement.
D. Her curiosity about the safari destination.
A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But everything changed for Melody when she completed a Wild Shots Outreach (WSO) photography course(但当Melody完成了Wild Shots Outreach(WSO)摄影课程后，一切都变了)”可知，是WSO的摄影课程改变了Melody的生活。故选A。
答案与解析
11.Which is among the reasons why WSO is held
A. To raise money.
B. To prevent illegal hunting.
C. To stop wildlife trade.
D. To nurture wildlife protectors.
D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Its aim is to engage disadvantaged young Africans in wildlife conservation through photography and by providing an introduction to the natural world, helping to nurture (培育) the conservationists of tomorrow. (它的目标是通过摄影让处于弱势的非洲年轻人参与到野生动物保护中来，并通过介绍自然世界，帮助培养他们成为未来的环保主义者)”可知，WSO的目的是通过摄影让处于弱势的非洲年轻人参与到野生动物保护中来，帮助培养未来的野生动物保护者。故选D。
答案与解析
12.What might be talked about following the last paragraph
A. Comments from Melody.
B. The promotion of WSO.
C. Poor life of South Africans.
D. The details of photographs taking.
B 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据最后一段“这项倡议始于2015年,是生命科学教师兼摄影师Mike Kendrick的热情项目。搬到大克鲁格地区生活在灌木丛中，Mike看到年轻的南非人与自然环境之间缺乏互动感到沮丧。不仅如此，在帮助举办Wild Shots的六年里,他没有遇到一个来自南非的有色人种野生动物、风景或户外摄影师”可知，文章介绍WSO的实质和目的，以及创立人发起WSO的最初动机，但是在南非却没有得到推广。由此可推知，接下来有可能谈论WSO的推广。故选B。

Quiet Parks International (QPI) have got every reason to award Quiet Trail to the Niobrara National Scenic River this year, making it the other Quiet Trail in the world after Cuifeng Lake Trail, Taiwan. Kalli Kieborz, Director of Niobrara Council, received the award for their assistance in managing and protecting its natural resources, including natural quiet, since 1997.
This award concluded a two-year process that included exploring the full length of the river to collect qualitative and quantitative acoustic (听觉的) data. Gordon Hempton, cofounder of QPI, stated, “Our testing process is very exact. Beyond collecting standard acoustic data, each team member must agree unhesitatingly that natural quiet existed throughout the testing period. The river’s splendid geologic landscape, unusual atmospheric conditions and outstanding wildlife all contributed to a positive outcome.”
The Niobrara River is notable for its beauty, ecological importance, and recreational appeal in the northern Great Plains, U.S. Six major ecosystems meet in the Niobrara National Scenic River valley, resulting in a special mix of more than 160 plant and animal species. “It is filled with unique, even one-of-a-kind opportunities for the curious and adventurous visitors，” said John Ricks, Nebraska Tourism director.
“97% of the U.S. population faces noise pollution from sources like flights and highways. In fact, the more quiet we have, the more we can see and hear about the world, so we are thrilled to be able to offer it at Niobrara National Scenic River. From a quiet starry night to peaceful natural escapes, it uncovers what cannot be enjoyed in many other places,” stated Susan Cook, another director.
Areas like the Niobrara National Scenic River offer an opportunity to showcase quiet, unspoiled areas in a noisy world. Today, as people’s life is overloaded with noise, the intentional seeking-out of quiet areas is on the rise and with it, the opportunity to engage new travelers in visiting the beautiful, yet still largely hidden treasure of the wild.

七选五 体裁：说明文 主题语境：人际交往 难度：★★★☆☆
While most of us work hard to shine at the presentations and speeches we can prepare for, we may find impromptu (即兴的) communication scary. Actually, you just need to learn specific skills to communicate effectively when put on the spot. Here are a few pointers.
1 What do you want your audience to know How do you want them to feel, and what do you want them to do Having a clear objective paired with an awareness of your audience will narrow your focus. Then you can prioritize what to say and choose your exact words more wisely.
Organize your thoughts. When making formal presentations, most people give a logical structure that audiences can easily follow. But few of us adequately organize thoughts in impromptu situations. 2 In fact, the best speakers maintain audience interest by demonstrating connections among specific points, ideas, for example.
Listen as well as you talk. 3 You should do the opposite: focus on listening so that you can better understand the in-the-moment needs and interests of your conversation partners and respond more effectively. Paraphrasing or asking open-ended follow-up questions can help confirm your understanding and provide extra time to think about your response.
Dare to be dull. Don’t feel you need to give a standout performance. One popular saying applies here, “ 4 ” Listeners are more likely to trust and approve of you when you speak like a human being rather than an actor or a robot. Research shows that the most effective speech includes moderate use of fillers such as “um” and “uh”.
The real problem in impromptu communication isn’t an inability to communicate. 5 Fortunately, a measure of experimentation thought, and practice of the skills can make impromptu speaking opportunities your time to shine.
A. Identify a communication goal.
B. He knows most who speaks least.
C. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
D. It’s being so nervous that we struggle with the talks.
E. We may assume that it’s impossible to do so on the fly.
F. A clear structure enhances comprehension and engagement.
G. Most people obsess over what to say during impromptu encounters.
本文是一篇关于即兴沟通技巧的说明文。文章通过提供具体的建议帮助读者在没有准备的情况下有效沟通。
1.A 下文“Having a clear objective paired with an awareness of your audience will narrow your focus. (拥有一个清晰的目标，加上对听众的了解，将有助于集中你的注意力。)”说明要明确沟通目标并了解听众，空格处需要一个与此一致的选项，因此A项“Identify a communication goal. (确定一个沟通目标。)”中的关键词goal和本段相符，故选A。
答案与解析
2.F 下文“In fact, the best speakers maintain audience interest by demonstrating connections among specific points, ideas, for example.
(事实上，最好的演讲者通过展示特定点和想法之间的联系来保持听众的兴趣。)”说明优秀的讲话需要有一定的逻辑结构，因此F项“A clear structure enhances comprehension and engagement. (清晰的结构增强理解和参与度。)”与下文一致，故选F。
答案与解析
3.G 下文“You should do the opposite： focus on listening so that you can better understand the in-the-moment needs and interests of your conversation partners and respond more effectively. (你应该做相反的事情：专注于倾听，这样你就能更好地理解对话伙伴的即时需求和兴趣，并更有效地回应。)”说明在谈话中，我们应该更加注重倾听而不是说话，因此G项“Most people obsess over what to say during impromptu encounters. (大多数人在即兴场合过于纠结于该说什么。)”与下文的do the opposite逻辑相符，故选G。
答案与解析
4.C 下文“Listeners are more likely to trust and approve of you when you speak like a human being rather than an actor or a robot. (当你像一个人而不是演员或机器人那样说话时，听众更可能信任和赞同你。)”说明想要让对方更加信任自己，我们不应该像机器人那样完美发挥，机械地回答，应该更像人类一样，有一些小错误，因此C项“Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. (不要让完美成为好的敌人。)”与下文一致，故选C。
答案与解析
5.D 根据下文“Fortunately, a measure of experimentation thought, and practice of the skills can make impromptu speaking opportunities your time to shine. (幸运的是，一些实验性思考和技能实践可以使即兴演讲机会成为你发光的时刻。)”可知，通过这些小技巧，可以让人们在谈话中发挥出色，从而就不会紧张，因此D项“It’s being so nervous that we struggle with the talks. (正是因为我们太紧张，所以我们在谈话中挣扎。)”与下文一致，故选D。
答案与解析

In modern society loneliness can be seen as a social phenomenon and people can experience loneliness for many reasons. It is a very common, though normally temporary, 1 of a breakup, divorce, or loss of any important long-term relationship. In these cases, loneliness may result both from the loss of a specific person and from the 2 from social circles. The loss of a significant person in one’s life will typically initiate a grief response; in this situation, one might feel lonely, even while in the company of others.
Loneliness may also result from any socially disruptive (破裂的) event, such as moving from one’s home town into 3 communities leading to homesickness. Loneliness can also occur in places with low population densities in which there are comparatively few people to 4 .
There are many different ways used to 5 loneliness. The first step that most doctors recommend to patients is therapy. Short-term therapy typically occurs over a period of ten to twenty weeks. During therapy, emphasis is put on understanding the cause of the problem, 6 the negative thoughts, feelings, and attitudes resulting from the problem,
and exploring ways to help the patient feel connected. Some doctors also recommend 7 therapy as a means to connect with other sufferers and establish a support system. It may take several attempts before a suitable anti-depressant medication is found. Some patients may also develop resistance to a certain type of medication and need to 8 periodically.
Another treatment is animal-assisted therapy. Studies and surveys indicate that the presence of animal companions such as dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs can 9 feelings of loneliness or depression among some sufferers. Beyond the companionship the animal itself
provides there may also be increased opportunities for 10 with other pet owners. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention there are a number of other health benefits associated with pet ownership, such as lowered blood pressure. In addition, some other alternative approaches may include exercise, dieting, etc., which many patients find have a 11 effect on relieving symptoms. Results of a study also suggest that correcting maladaptive social cognition (认知) offers the best chance of 12 loneliness.
Nevertheless, loneliness can sometimes play an important role in the 13 process. In some people, temporary or prolonged loneliness can lead to notable artistic and creative expression, for example, as was the case with poet Emily Dickinson, and numerous musicians. This is not to imply that loneliness itself ensures this creativity, 14 , it may have an influence on the subject matter of the artist and more likely be present in individuals 15 creative activities.

1.C 考查名词词义辨析。句意：这是分手、离婚或失去任何重要的长期关系的常见后果，但通常是暂时的。type “类型”； concern “担心，关心”； consequence “结果，后果”； evidence “证据”。前句提到“孤独”有很多种原因，空前的It指的就是“孤独”，而后面提及的“分手、离婚或者失去任何重要的长期关系”会造成一个结果，即孤独。故选C。
答案与解析
这是一篇议论文。文章讲述了产生孤独的原因，解决孤独的方法。最后作者还提到，孤独对创意的工作在某种程度上是有积极作用的。
2.A 考查名词词义辨析。句意：在这些情况下，孤独可能是因为失去一个特定的人，也可能是因为退出社交圈。withdrawal
“撤退，收回”； absence “缺席”； disappearance “消失”； presence “存在，出席”。上文提到了 “失去任何重要的长期关系”呼应此处，表示退出社交圈。故选A。

答案与解析
4.B 考查动词短语辨析。句意：孤独感也可能发生在人口密度较低的地方，那里与之交往的人相对较少。turn to “求助于”； interact with “与……交流，互动”； long for “渴望”； share with “与……分享”。空前提到“人口密度低”，所以与人的互动会比较少。故选B。
5.D 考查动词词义辨析。句意：有许多不同的方法用来治疗孤独。release “释放，发布，发泄”； observe “观察，遵守，庆祝”； monitor “监视”； treat “治疗”。后文在讲述治疗孤独的方法。故选D。
答案与解析
6.A 考查动词词义辨析。句意：在治疗过程中，重点是了解问题的原因，扭转由问题引起的消极思想、感觉和态度，并探索帮助患者感到相互联系的方法。reverse “颠倒，完全改变”； direct “指导”； measure “丈量”； pursue “追求，追逐”。此处的动词和前句的“了解问题”以及后句的“探索方法”构成内在的逻辑。先了解原因，扭转思想、感觉和态度再探索方法。故选A。

7.D 考查形容词/名词词义辨析。句意：一些医生还建议将团体治疗作为与其他患者联系和建立支持系统的手段。long-term “长期的”； sightseeing “观光的，旅游的”； patient “有耐心的”； group “团体”。根据空后提到“和其他患者的相互联系和建立支持系统”可知，这是一种“群体治疗方法”。故选D。
答案与解析
8.C 考查动词词义辨析。句意：有些病人可能对某种药物产生耐药性，需要定期更换。quit “离开，放弃”； evolve “发展，进化”； switch “开关，转换”； exercise “锻炼，练习”。空前提到因为“可能对某种药物产生耐药性”，所以才需要定期“更换”。故选C。
答案与解析
9.D 考查动词词义辨析。句意：研究和调查表明，狗、猫、兔子和豚鼠等动物同伴的存在可以缓解一些患者的孤独感或抑郁情绪。confirm “确认，证实”； protest “抗议”； enhance “加强”； ease “减轻”。此处讲的是另外一种治疗办法——利用动物的陪伴。下文提到养宠物还有很多其他的健康益处，比如降低血压。由此可知，动物同伴给患者带来了好处，可以缓解患者的孤独感或抑郁情绪。故选D。
答案与解析
10.A 考查动词词义辨析。句意：除了动物本身提供的陪伴之外，与其他宠物主人交往的机会也可能增加。socialize “社交，交际”； interfere “妨碍”； compare “比较，对照”； copy “复制，抄写”。养动物的人会和其他宠物主人交流，因此会增加与其他宠物主人交往的机会。故选A。
答案与解析
11.B 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：此外，其他一些替代方法可能包括锻炼、节食等，许多患者发现这些方法对缓解症状有恢复作用。historic “历史性的，有历史意义的”； restorative “有助于复原的，恢复健康的”； decisive “决定性的，果断的”； permanent “永久的，永恒的”。此处仍在讲述治疗孤独症的方法，此处的锻炼、节食等都是有助于缓解孤独和恢复健康的。故选B。

12.C 考查动词词义辨析。句意：研究结果还表明，纠正不适应的社会认知提供了减少孤独的最佳机会。promote “促进，晋升”； enhance “加强”； reduce “减少”； strive “努力，奋斗”。根据空前提到“纠正不适应的社会认知”可知，也是治疗孤独的方法，可以减少孤独。故选C。
答案与解析
13.A 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：然而，孤独有时在创作过程中扮演着重要的角色。creative “有创意的”； musical “音乐的”； artistic “艺术的”； poetic “诗歌的”。根据后文提到了 “creative expression” 和 “creative activities” 可知，第13空和它们相呼应，都在强调创作过程。故选A。
答案与解析
14.C 考查副词词义辨析。句意：这并不意味着孤独本身就保证了这种创造力，相反，它可能对艺术家的题材产生影响，更有可能出现在从事创作活动的个人身上。however “然而”； therefore
“因此”； rather “相反”； otherwise “否则”。空前提到“孤独本身无法保证创造力”，而后文提到“对艺术家的题材产生影响”。此处前后两句表示“对立”。故选C。
答案与解析
15.B 考查动词短语辨析。句意同上。restrict to “限制”； engage in “从事，忙于”； concern about “担心，关心”； alter by “改变”。前句提到孤独对艺术的影响体现在艺术家的题材和个人身上，此处的个人是“从事”创作的人。也是和前文提到的poet和musicians

As the school dress-up party was just around the corner, the school hall was full of children dressed in different shapes and colors. Some walked in as princes and princesses, some stepped in as superheroes and some made their dramatic entrance as astronauts and historical figures. But one little girl, whose name is Ellie, walked in, hiding her face and hoping nobody would take notice of her grey pants and white T-shirt.
Ellie wanted to dress up as a princess that year. Her dad had promised her a few months earlier that her costume would turn heads. But, her dad was so busy with all kinds of work that he forgot the small important things while dealing with the big important ones. When Ellie’s dad forgot to save up for her princess costume for the school dress-up party that year, she wasn’t mad at him. However, she couldn’t hold back her tears when the mean kids from her class started making fun of her. “What are you supposed to be dressed as Ugly Ellie ” one of the boys laughed loudly. Ellie covered her ears and cried as she heard the kids crying out her latest name and laughing over and over again. Every face around her was unkind and indifferent to her sadness, making the poor girl feel more unconfident and alone.
“Follow me! Ellie!” an older voice whispered to her. It was Mr Borges, her art teacher. He was trying to tell her something. The girl managed to escape the crowd of children and walk past them, closely following her teacher. “Wait here!” Mr Borges told Ellie and walked away. A moment later, he returned and Ellie couldn’t help but wonder why Mr Borges was holding a few rolls of toilet paper.

本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了联合国设立语言日的目的及中文日的意义。
1.to celebrate 考查非谓语动词。句意：目的是双重的：庆祝文化多样性，并促进所有六种语言的平等使用。本句谓语为was，此处为非谓语动词，应用celebrate“庆祝”的不定式，作目的状语，与to promote并列。故填to celebrate。
2.tongues 考查名词的数。句意同上。tongue“语言”为可数名词，由six修饰，应用复数形式。故填tongues。
答案与解析
3.and 考查连词。句意：语言是沟通的载体，是国家间互动的桥梁，是文明间理解的纽带。the carrier of communication, the bridge of interaction between nations和the bond of understanding among civilizations为并列关系，应用连词and连接。故填and。
4.written 考查形容词。句意：同时，语言和它的书写形式组成了民族传统的“灵魂”。本空修饰名词forms，需用形容词written“书写的”，作前置定语。故填written。

5.be treated 考查动词语态。句意：每一种语言都值得尊重，应该平等对待。主语Every language与动词treat “对待”构成被动关系，用be treated表被动，且位于情态动词should后，be用原形。故填be treated。
6.for 考查介词。句意：联合国中文日不仅为世界提供了一个更好地了解中国的独特平台，而且促进了世界范围内的语言和文化交流。表示“为某人/某物提供某物”用固定短语provide sth for sb/sth，本空用介词for，符合题意。故填for。
答案与解析
7.promotes 考查时态和主谓一致。句意同上。此处与provides并列作谓语，时态应用一般现在时，且主语为The UN Chinese Language Day，本空用promote“促进”的第三人称单数promotes。故填promotes。

As the school dress-up party was just around the corner, the school hall was full of children dressed in different shapes and colors. Some walked in as princes and princesses, some stepped in as superheroes and some made their dramatic entrance as astronauts and historical figures. But one little girl, whose name is Ellie, walked in, hiding her face and hoping nobody would take notice of her grey pants and white T-shirt.
Ellie wanted to dress up as a princess that year. Her dad had promised her a few months earlier that her costume would turn heads. But, her dad was so busy with all kinds of work that he forgot the small important things while dealing with the big important ones. When Ellie’s dad forgot to save up for her princess costume for the school dress-up party that year, she wasn’t mad at him. However, she couldn’t hold back her tears when the mean kids from her class started making fun of her. “What are you supposed to be dressed as Ugly Ellie ” one of the boys laughed loudly. Ellie covered her ears and cried as she heard the kids
crying out her latest name and laughing over and over again. Every face around her was unkind and indifferent to her sadness, making the poor girl feel more unconfident and alone.
“Follow me! Ellie!” an older voice whispered to her. It was Mr Borges, her art teacher. He was trying to tell her something. The girl managed to escape the crowd of children and walk past them, closely following her teacher. “Wait here!” Mr Borges told Ellie and walked away. A moment later, he returned and Ellie couldn’t help but wonder why Mr Borges was holding a few rolls of toilet paper.

“What’s that for ”Ellie asked, confused.

“What’s that for ” Ellie asked, confused. “This It’s for your dress-up party costume!” Mr Borges seemed excited. Ellie stood clueless and as still as a statue. Mr Borges set about wrapping the toilet paper around her all over. Finally, Ellie made out Mr Borges’ brilliant costume idea. Seeing herself in the mirror, Ellie jumped up and down. “I love it! Thank you, Mr Borges!” She hugged Mr Borges. When she again walked into the crowd, the children covered their mouths in awe.
