Dear Jim,
I’m pleased to learn that you’re coming to visit some place in China. When it comes to an ideal place, I think Dalian should be given the priority. The reasons are as follows.
First of all, Dalian has a cool climate and superb beaches, which is one of the most attractive tourist destinations in summer in China. Besides, there’re various recreational activities for you to do there, such as piloting motorboats and taking the tram. More importantly, Dalian is a city combining ancient cultures with modern dynamism. Therefore, while enjoying modern buildings, you can also see historical sites. Last but not least, the annual Dalian International Beer Festival will be held, during which you can have a taste of a diversity of delicacies.
Looking forward to your arrival.
Yours,

Ⅰ.A
【文章大意】 这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了王义西通过使用中国元素生动地展现了科学过程,还介绍了他的灵感来源以及贡献。
1.B 细节理解题。根据第二段“The cover shows a Chinese ink painting that vividly shows the process…the latest breakthrough by a Chinese scientific research team. Another one of his popular works that carry distinctive Chinese elements is a composite image…”可知,中国元素在王义西的作品中扮演了特殊的角色。故选B。
2.C 推理判断题。根据第三段“While studying chemistry at university, Wang Yixi often came across an experimental preparation process that he had to explain…He went on to study 3D graphics software in order to better display the microscopic structures in his field and improve the presentation of his papers.”可知,王义西有解决问题的积极思维。故选C。
3.A 细节理解题。根据第三段“He went on to study 3D graphics software in order to better display the microscopic structures in his field and improve the presentation of his papers.”以及最后一段“‘Every scientific paper is innovative, and graphics are an essential part of scientific papers,’ Wang says…compare differences among experiments.”可知,王义西通过生动地使论文形象化来使抽象的论文易于理解。故选A。
4.D 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The achievement was completed after Wang Yixi and his team made the cover of an October issue of Structure, a US-based Cell Press journal. The cover shows a Chinese ink painting that vividly shows the process…Another one of his popular works that carry distinctive Chinese elements is a composite image…fill a crack in the sky.”及全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了王义西通过使用中国元素生动地展现了科学过程,还介绍了他的灵感来源以及贡献。由此可知,D选项“来自科学的灵感”最适合做文章标题。故选D。
B
【文章大意】 本文是一篇新闻报道,主要介绍了中国建造了世界上最大的涡轮机的相关情况。
5.B 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Just one of these turbines should be able to produce enough electricity to power 36,000 families of three people each for one year.”可知,此处提到仅仅其中一台涡轮机就能够产生足够的电力,供36 000户三口之家一年使用,结合下文中的“They claim that wind-powered domestic electricity could reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 54,000 tons compared with using coal-fired power stations.”可知,与使用燃煤的发电站相比,风力发电可以减少54 000吨二氧化碳排放物,由此可知,列数据是为了说明涡轮机的优点。故选B项。
6.A 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Still, it wasn’t very long at all before these claims were put to the test, following the disastrous typhoon Talim that hit East Asia earlier on. The typhoon threat is ever-present in this region, and the new giant turbine has stood up to the impact.”可知,新的巨型涡轮机经受住了灾难性台风“泰利”的冲击,由此可推断,新的巨型涡轮机值得信赖。故选A项。
7.D 词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“…by the success of this installation, China Three Gorges Corporation is already looking to the future.”可知,中国三峡集团开始展望未来,结合下文中的“In the next step, the 16-megawatt unit will be applied in the second phase of the Zhangpu Liuao Offshore Wind Farm Project constructed by China Three Gorges Corporation…”可知,中国三峡集团准备把这种涡轮机应用于其他项目,由此可知,画线单词的意思应与“鼓舞”的意思相近。故选D项。
8.C 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Earlier on, it was reported that the country had begun construction of a wind farm using what were then regarded as the largest turbines (涡轮机) ever seen, each with a capacity of 16 megawatts (兆瓦). Now, a new important stage has been reached with the successful switch-on of a turbine.”可知,中国已经开始建设一个风力发电场,安装当时被认为是有史以来最大的涡轮机,结合下文主要围绕该涡轮机展开可知,本文主要介绍的是世界上最大的风力涡轮机已开始使用。故选C项。

【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Alex经常坐在班级的后面,他很害羞,感觉自己像一头孤狼一样。唯一带给Alex安慰的是他的语文老师,Ms Lau。 Ms Lau鼓励他去参加一个中国文化交流项目。中国之行彻底改变了Alex,让他变得阳光开朗。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Alex感到很兴奋,以至于他迫不及待地去探索中国。”可知,第一段可描写Alex在中国的经历。
②由第二段首句内容“回到美国后,Alex变了一个人。”可知,第二段可描写Alex回到美国后发生的变化。
2.续写线索:到中国—见闻和感受—回到美国—变化
One possible version:
Alex felt so excited that he couldn’t wait to explore China. The towering skyscrapers, modern cities, picturesque landscapes, and cutting-edge technology captivated Alex, making him truly fall in love with this magnificent country(现在分词作状语). During his visit, he also explored several renowned landmarks, such as the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, where he deepened his understanding of traditional Chinese culture and history(定语从句). Additionally, he was addicted to a variety of delicious Chinese cuisine, with Beijing roast duck being his favourite(with复合结构).
Back in the United States, Alex was a changed person. He was no longer the shy and quiet individual he once was(定语从句);instead, he became more confident and outgoing. Upon returning to school(upon+v.-ing结构), he eagerly shared his wonderful experiences in China with his classmates. He dedicated himself to his studies even more diligently and exhibited the courage to express his opinions in class (不定式作定语), which won him the affection of both teachers and students(定语从句).

●Ⅰ 阅读理解
A
Science is always seen as hard-core and hard to understand. But could you imagine hundreds of people being attracted by the cover of a science magazine
The achievement was completed after Wang Yixi and his team made the cover of an October issue of Structure, a US-based Cell Press journal. The cover shows a Chinese ink painting that vividly shows the process in which a special enzyme (酶) involved in the biosynthesis (生物合成) of an important organic compound is activated—the latest breakthrough by a Chinese scientific research team. Another one of his popular works that carry distinctive Chinese elements is a composite image, describing a scientist as the folk goddess Nyuwa, carrying her newly discovered compound to fill a crack in the sky.
While studying chemistry at university, Wang Yixi often came across an experimental preparation process that he had to explain, but the amount of text was too large and abstract. As he had been interested in drawing, and related software like Photoshop, he decided to turn his graphics into fine art. He went on to study 3D graphics software in order to better display the microscopic structures in his field and improve the presentation of his papers.
It didn’t take long before his classmates and professors noticed his talents and asked him to help them with their papers. By word of mouth, more people beat a path to Wang’s door and were willing to pay for his service. Over the past four years, Wang and his team have come up with more than 10,000 visual works for academic papers across a variety of fields, many of which have made their way to the world’s top academic journals, including Nature, Science and Cell.
“Every scientific paper is innovative, and graphics are an essential part of scientific papers,” Wang says, adding that what he tries to achieve is an explanation of models or methods, to showcase experimental results, visually process data or compare differences among experiments.
( )1.What play a special role in Wang’s works
A.Fairy tales.
B.Chinese elements.
C.Rich colours.
D.Complex structures.
( )2.What can we learn about Wang Yixi from Paragraph 3
A.He preferred painting to chemistry.
B.He developed useful mapping software.
C.He had an active mind to solve problems.
D.He had trouble conducting his experiment.
( )3.How does Wang make abstract papers easily understood
A.By visualizing them vividly.
B.By showing them accurately.
C.By explaining them in detail.
D.By constructing them uniquely.
( )4.Which is the best title for the text
A.The power of art
B.Dilemmas of science
C.Mysteries of chemistry
D.Inspiration from science

China has long been considered as a revolutionary when it comes to wind power. Earlier on, it was reported that the country had begun construction of a wind farm using what were then regarded as the largest turbines (涡轮机) ever seen, each with a capacity of 16 megawatts (兆瓦). Now, a new important stage has been reached with the successful switch-on of a turbine.
China Three Gorges Corporation announced that the MySE 16-260 turbine had been successfully fixed at the company’s offshore wind farm near Fujian Province on July 19. Just one of these turbines should be able to produce enough electricity to power 36,000 families of three people each for one year. They claim that wind-powered domestic electricity could reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 54,000 tons compared with using coal-fired power stations.
The Fujian offshore wind farm sits in the Taiwan Strait. Winds of force 7 are a regular occurrence in these waters, which is obviously perfect for producing wind power. Mingyang Smart Energy, who designed the MySE 16-260, was up to the challenge, stating in a LinkedIn post that it could handle “extreme wind speeds of 79.8 metres per second”. Still, it wasn’t very long at all before these claims were put to the test, following the disastrous typhoon Talim that hit East Asia earlier on. The typhoon threat is ever-present in this region, and the new giant turbine has stood up to the impact.
Buoyed by the success of this installation, China Three Gorges Corporation is already looking to the future. “In the next step, the 16-megawatt unit will be applied in the second phase of the Zhangpu Liuao Offshore Wind Farm Project constructed by China Three Gorges Corporation,” said Lei Zengjuan.
( )5.Why are the statistics listed in Paragraph 2
A.To discuss the possibility of further threat.
B.To emphasize the advantages of the turbines.
C.To present the consequence of producing electricity.
D.To stress the urgency of spreading turbines nationwide.
( )6.What can we infer from Paragraph 3
A.The new giant turbines are worth trusting.
B.The new giant turbines are still faced with doubts.
C.Typhoon Talim has damaged the new giant turbines severely.
D.Typhoon Talim has been one of the worst typhoons ever since.
( )7.What does the underlined word “Buoyed” in Paragraph 4 mean
A.Linked. B.Rewarded.
C.Inquired. D.Inspired.
( )8.What’s the text mainly about
A.China takes the lead in developing turbines.
B.China values the development of wind turbines.
C.The world’s largest wind turbine has been switched on.
D.The world’s largest wind turbine makes the media shocked.

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。
Alex sat quietly at the back of his Chinese class, his eyes fixed on the textbook before him. As a shy student, he felt like a lone wolf, struggling against the complexities of high school life. Ms Lau, his Chinese teacher, was a light in his otherwise dark world. Her warm smile and gentle behaviour made her stand out among the sea of teachers. She was the only one that seemed to understand his conservative nature, always encouraging him to step out of his comfort zone.
One day, after class, Ms Lau approached Alex with excitement shining in her eyes. “Alex, I have an offer for you,” she said, her voice filled with enthusiasm. “I am organizing a cultural exchange programme to China, and I believe it would be a great opportunity for you to explore a new world.”
Alex’s heart skipped a beat, the prospect of travelling to a foreign country both exciting and terrifying. He hesitated, unsure whether he had the courage to start such an adventure. But Ms Lau’s firm belief in him gave him the push he needed to take a leap of faith.
Under Ms Lau’s guidance, Alex began preparing for the trip. He got really interested in Chinese culture and learned about its long history and traditions. Ms Lau became his mentor(导师), teaching him not only the language but also invaluable life lessons. She taught him the importance of being confident and not giving up, reminding him that growth only happens outside one’s comfort zone.
The day of departure arrived, and Alex found himself on a plane headed for China. He couldn’t help but feel amazed as he stepped off the plane and into a world so different from his own. The busy streets, bright colours, and unfamiliar sounds flooded his senses. Yet, Ms Lau’s comforting presence by his side provided him with the strength to face the unknown.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Alex felt so excited that he couldn’t wait to explore China.

The Fujian offshore wind farm sits in the Taiwan Strait.
Winds of force 7 are a regular occurrence in these waters,
which is obviously perfect for producing wind power. Mingyang
Smart Energy, who designed the MySE 16-260, was up to the
challenge, stating in a LinkedIn post that it could handle
“extreme wind speeds of 79.8 metres per second”. Still, it wasn't
very long at all before these claims were put to the test,
following the disastrous typhoon Talim that hit East Asia earlier
on. The typhoon threat is ever-present in this region, and the
new giant turbine has stood up to the impact.

Dear Tom,
I am eager to express my heartfelt gratitude for your timely
assistance.
Last week, I found myself feeling quite confused about a
particular event in American history during my history class, and
I was anxious about completing the related homework. To
seek guidance, I turned to you for help. You provided me
with a thorough explanation of the historical event.

第二节 读后续写
[2024·湖南娄底高二期末]
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。
Alex sat quietly at the back of his Chinese class, his eyes
fixed on the textbook before him. As a shy student, he felt like
a lone wolf, struggling against the complexities of high school
life. Ms Lau, his Chinese teacher, was a light in his otherwise
dark world. Her warm smile and gentle behaviour made her
stand out among the sea of teachers. She was the only one
that seemed to understand his conservative nature, always
encouraging him to step out of his comfort zone.
One day, after class, Ms Lau approached Alex with
excitement shining in her eyes. “Alex, I have an offer for you,”
she said, her voice filled with enthusiasm. “I am organizing a
cultural exchange programme to China, and I believe it would
be a great opportunity for you to explore a new world.”
Alex's heart skipped a beat, the prospect of travelling to a
foreign country both exciting and terrifying. He hesitated, unsure
whether he had the courage to start such an adventure. But Ms
Lau's firm belief in him gave him the push he needed to take a
leap of faith.
Under Ms Lau's guidance, Alex began preparing for the trip.
He got really interested in Chinese culture and learned about its
long history and traditions. Ms Lau became his mentor(导师),
teaching him not only the language but also invaluable life
lessons. She taught him the importance of being confident and
not giving up, reminding him that growth only happens outside
one's comfort zone.
The day of departure arrived, and Alex found himself on a
plane headed for China. He couldn't help but feel amazed as
he stepped off the plane and into a world so different from his
own. The busy streets, bright colours, and unfamiliar sounds
flooded his senses. Yet, Ms Lau's comforting presence by his
side provided him with the strength to face the unknown.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Alex felt so excited that he couldn't wait to explore
China._________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Back in the United States, Alex was a changed
person.________________________________________________________________
【思路点拨】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Alex经常坐在班级的
后面,他很害羞,感觉自己像一头孤狼一样。唯一带给Alex安慰的
是他的语文老师,Ms Lau。 Ms Lau鼓励他去参加一个中国文化交
流项目。中国之行彻底改变了Alex,让他变得阳光开朗。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Alex感到很兴奋,以至于他迫不及待地去探索
中国。”可知,第一段可描写Alex在中国的经历。
②由第二段首句内容“回到美国后,Alex变了一个人。”可知,第二段
可描写Alex回到美国后发生的变化。
2.续写线索:到中国—见闻和感受—回到美国—变化
One possible version:
Alex felt so excited that he couldn't wait to explore China.
The towering skyscrapers, modern cities, picturesque landscapes,
and cutting-edge technology captivated Alex, making him truly
fall in love with this magnificent country(现在分词作状语).
During his visit, he also explored several renowned landmarks,
such as the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, where he
deepened his understanding of traditional Chinese culture
and history(定语从句). Additionally, he was addicted to a variety
of delicious Chinese cuisine, with Beijing roast duck being his
favourite(with复合结构).
Back in the United States, Alex was a changed person. He
was no longer the shy and quiet individual he once was
(定语从句);instead, he became more confident and outgoing.
Upon returning to school(upon+v.-ing结构), he eagerly shared
his wonderful experiences in China with his classmates. He
dedicated himself to his studies even more diligently and
exhibited the courage to express his opinions in class
(不定式作定语), which won him the affection of both teachers
and students(定语从句). As a result, an increasing number of
classmates sought to befriend Alex, leading him to feel
significantly happier and more optimistic about life and his
future(现在分词作状语).
