One day, as Nelly sorted through vegetable leftovers, especially corn husks (外壳) from her family kitchen,
she noticed their soft feel and structure. What if these weren’t just waste, but raw material for something beautiful
Her first doll was an experiment. Using dried corn husks for the body and silky threads from corn cores for the hair,
she built a tiny figure, dressed it in layered leaves, and painted on a face.
Word soon spread. Visitors to her flower shop admired the dolls, often mistaking them for handicrafts.
Encouraged by the response, Nelly began taking custom orders. Each doll was handmade, unique, and reflected her
evolving technique. Today, she operates from a small studio space where she continues to handcraft these dolls to
order. With no formal art training, she has taught herself how to subtilize natural materials, dry them for durability,
and combine them with decorative elements like seeds, flowers, and leaves.
Crafting one doll takes several days. First, the vegetable waste is carefully sorted, washed, and sun-dried.
Nelly uses the husks to form the body, folding and folding them into shape. The corn milk is woven into hair, while
dried flowers form necklaces or skirts. A final touch of paint brings out facial features, personality, and character.
No two dolls are alike, and that’s exactly how Nelly likes it.
Nelly’s journey hasn’t gone unnoticed. Her craft is now inspiring women in neighboring villages to explore
similar ideas with plant waste, encouraging entrepreneurship at it grassroots level. In a region where economic
opportunities can be limited, her model of self-employment, based on sustainable practices, is quietly empowering
women to earn from their own homes, using nothing but kitchen scraps and creative instinct.
4. Which word can best describe Nelly’s doll-making craft
A. Sustainable. B. Conventional. C. Portable. D. Luxurious.
5. What does the underlined word “subtilize” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Handle. B. Protect. C. Analyze. D. Supply.
6. Why does Nelly want no two dolls to be alike
A. To follow market trends. B. To reduce production costs.
C. To meet customers’ demands. D. To maintain artistic individuality.
7. How does Nelly’s model benefit women in her region
A. By providing factory jobs. B. By offering government allowances.
C. By enabling home-based income. D. By helping them establish brand awareness.
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. D 7. C

Each year, over 1.2 billion new smartphones are produced worldwide. This not only consumes significant
energy and natural resources but also results in large amounts of electronic waste, as users often replace functional
devices every few years. To address this issue, researchers have developed a new approach-transforming old
phones into small-scale data centers for practical applications.
“Innovation often begins not with something new, but with a new way of thinking about the old,” said Huber,
an associate professor. The research team demonstrated that outdated smartphones can be transformed into tiny
data centers capable of processing and storing data for real-world applications. They also found that building such a
data center only costs around 8 euros per device, making it an economical solution.
In their experiment the scientists carefully removed the batteries to prevent chemical leakage and connected
four old phones using 3D-printed cases. The system was powered externally and tested in practical environments.
One successful trial of the new approach involved underwater sea life monitoring, where the device automatically
recorded and analyzed sea species. Tasks that once required divers can now be handled directly by the device
underwater.
These reused devices show promise in other areas as well. For example, they could be applied at bus stops to
monitor passenger flow patterns and help urban planners adjust public transportation schedules and routes. This
approach not only reduces e-waste but also supports sustainable digital solutions for modern communities.
“This smart, green approach rethinks our throwaway tech culture. Sustainability is not just about preserving
the future but also about reimagining the present, turning yesterday’s devices into tomorrow’s solutions,” added
Ulrich, an Associate Professor of Software Engineering. With minimal investment and creative thinking, outdated
technology can serve new purposes, contributing to a greener digital society while effectively addressing the
growing problem of electronic waste.
8. Which of the following best describes the new approach in paragraph 2
A. Time-saving. B. Cost-effective C. User-friendly. D. Labor-intensive.
9. What was a successful application of the new approach
A. Assisting divers in recording sea animals. B. Producing 3D-printed cases for ocean use
C. Monitoring underwater life independently. D. Supplying power to underwater equipment.
10. What can we infer about the reused devices from paragraph 4
A. They predict the city traffic patterns. B. They inform passengers of bus arrivals.
C. They help with smart city management D. They assess the work of urban planners.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Global Smartphone Waste Problem B. A Green Solution: Repurposing Old Phones
C. An Eco-Digital Guide: Electronic Engineering D. The Sustainability of Smart City Development

D
In some Western parts, children of healthy weight have long become the exception. Now even in poor
countries, childhood obesity (肥胖) is spreading faster than ever before. The problem is not new: the percentage of
overweight children around the world went up in the 1980s, as junk food became a dietary staple. But the trend
today is alarming. A report by UNICEF found that the number of school-aged children who are obese is, for the
first time, higher than those who do not get enough food to stay healthy.
In Niue and the Cook Islands, nearly 40% of 5 — 19-year-olds are obese — the highest rates in the world.
The south Pacific also has some of the worst adult obesity rates, fueled by shifting diets and a culture that prizes
size. America ranks in the top 20 countries for childhood obesity, with a rate of 20%. In Europe, Hungary leads
with 15%.
Poor countries are particularly ill-equipped to tackle this issue. Health systems there were built to fight hunger
not obesity. Many babies are born underweight because of poor diets when their mothers are expecting them. That
alters their metabolism (新陈代谢) and makes rapid weight gain and other long-term health problems more likely
in adulthood. In South America and parts of Africa and the Middle East, the share of overweight children is already
higher than in western Europe and is nearing the 45% seen in North America.
The reason is simple: cheap, heavily processed foods are dominating children’s diets worldwide, crowding out
fresh fruits, vegetables and proteins. A UNICEF survey of 20 low- and middle-income countries found that more
than half of babies aged 6 — 23 months in 13 countries had consumed sweet drinks or sugary foods the previous
day. Even in Britain many ready-to-eat baby foods marketed as healthy are far from it. In countries with lax
regulation, the meals are worse. A study of hundreds of baby foods sold in seven South-East Asian countries found
that half were ultra-processed. A third contained additives that are not permitted under the Codex Alimentarius, the
UN’s food-standards code.
But changing diets is hard. Ultra-processed foods are about 50% cheaper than fresh or minimally processed
foods, according to the UN’s report on food systems. A global survey of school meals in 2024 found that 25% of
schools served processed meats, 21% served sweets, 19% served deep-fried food and 14% provided
sugar-sweetened drinks. Stronger rules that restrict the advertising and sales of unhealthy foods could help. So
could financial aid to make good food cheaper. What children eat early shapes their tastes for life. Adult diets are
habits fixed in childhood. Once formed, those tastes are hard to shift.
12. The author cites the specific obesity rates of Niue and the Cook Islands, America, and Hungary in paragraph 2
primarily ________.
A. to argue that European policies are the most effective
B. to show the problem is global affecting diverse regions
C. to rank the economic development levels of these places
D. to suggest the issue is most severe in Pacific Island nations
13. Which of the following is a major concern regarding childhood obesity in poor countries according to the
passage
A. Parents are not aware of the risks of obesity at all.
B. Children refuse to eat any fresh fruits or vegetables.
C. There is a complete lack of regulations on food advertising.
D. Health systems are not designed to deal with such problems.
14. According to the passage, what makes ultra-processed foods so popular worldwide
A. They taste better than fresh food.
B. They are much cheaper than fresh food.
C. They are more nutritious than natural food.
D. They are easier to cook at home.
15. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To criticize the food industry for promoting unhealthy foods.
B. To recommend specific lifestyle programs for obese children.
C. To analyze the global trend and challenges of childhood obesity.
D. To compare obesity rates between developed and poor countries.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Emotional intelligence is often spoken about as if it’s a mysterious quality you either have or don’t.
____16____ Of course, developing emotional intelligence isn’t an overnight achievement. It’s like learning to play
an instrument: at first you may hit the wrong notes, misunderstand the rhythm, or feel awkward. ____17____ Tune
in to your inner signals.
Most people are vaguely (模糊地) aware of their emotional state. Emotional intelligence begins by refining
(提炼) this awareness into something specific. Imagine you’ve just been cut off in traffic. Your body tenses and you
mutter under your breath. In that moment, an emotionally intelligent approach is to pause and silently name what
you feel: “frustration,” “a sense of disrespect.” ____18____ It shifts the experience from a raw, automatic reaction
into something you can observe and handle.
Learn to pause before responding.
One of the greatest powers emotional intelligence offers is the pause — the small gap between stimulus(刺激)
and response. ____19____ Without it, you’re a puppet (木偶) to whatever emotion shows up; with it, you become
the author of your actions.
To develop the pause, mindfulness meditation is an effective training ground. Sitting quietly, focusing on your
breath, and noticing when your mind wanders builds the ability to witness thoughts and feelings without
immediately acting on them.
____20____
Emotional intelligence is not just inward-looking. A core skill is empathy. This requires careful observation of
tone of voice, facial expressions, and body language. A powerful exercise is to spend a day paying attention to
micro-expressions — those quickly passing facial changes that often reveal true feelings before they’re masked. It
can help you respond in ways that make others feel seen and understood.
A. Practice active listening skills.
B. Read the emotional currents of others.
C. But with practice, the music starts to flow naturally.
D. In that space lies your ability to choose rather than react.
E. Simply naming an emotion has a calming effect on the brain.
F. See emotions not as random behavior but as information carriers.
G. In reality, it’s a living skill that you can develop and sharpen over time.
【答案】16. G 17. C 18. E 19. D 20. B

McDonald’s in the Netherlands has launched a pioneering advertising campaign. It uses something that’s even
more ____21____ than the golden arches.
Inspired by the easily recognizable smell of the chain’s French fries, the brand set up the first billboard (广告
牌) where the smell becomes the ____22____. The three plain red or yellow billboards didn’t even have a logo but
still ____23____ to attract hungry customers.
To passers-by, the huge billboards simply looked ____24____. However, when they ____25____ within about
15 feet of them, they were ____26____ by the smell of McDonald’s fries.
McDonald’s shared video shows people approaching the sign to ____27____ the smell. “Is it McDonald’s ”
asks one of them, while a second says: “Fries ” A third then says: “I smell fries,” with a fourth adding: “It smells
like a Happy Meal — McDonald’s ” and a fifth finally ____28____ shouts: “The French fries from McDonald’s!”
Viewers were ____29____ with the idea, commenting: “Wish I had a McDonald’s Netherlands near me.”
Using sensors and Wi-Fi connectivity, the billboards can ____30____ when someone is nearby and release
their smell accordingly. This approach ensures that the smell is always present. Being strategically ____31____
within 200 yards of restaurants, these billboards cleverly give fast food fans the ____32____ they need to treat
themselves.
While this might seem like a gimmick (噱 头 ), there is good reason for having customers follow their
____33____. “When it comes to sparking (触发) clear and emotional memories, smell has been proven to be more
____34____ than images,” explained the chief marketing officer of McDonald’s Netherlands. “With the inclusion
of this next sense in our advertising, we’ve found a new way to ____35____ people of good times at McDonald’s.”
21. A. memorable B. meaningful C. critical D. acceptable

A museum without walls can adapt and respond to cultural shifts with speed. Exhibits can go live.
____40____ (update) do not take months. The audience becomes part of the experience, not a silent ____41____

47. 阅读下列材料，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。
It all began at my local Portland airport as I was checking in for my flight for Salt Lake City. Panic hit: my
suitcase was still at home. It held everything for a week-long conference in Utah: my tailored suit, a folder of
printed presentations, even the novel I planned to finally read on the flight. With no time to turn back, I called my
wife, who promised to send it on the next flight. An agent reassured me that it would reach my hotel by evening.
Armed with that promise, I boarded, unaware of the incredible journey that awaited my suitcase.
That night at my hotel, no suitcase arrived. I called Delta Airlines and Peter, a baggage service agent,
informed me that the connecting flight had been canceled. “Don’t worry. It’ll be on the first flight tomorrow and
delivered to your hotel by 9 a.m.” he promised.
The next morning at 9 a.m. nothing. I called Delta again, my voice shaking over the phone. “Where’s my
bag ” Peter responded calmly, “Can you make it through today ” “But I need the staff in my bag!” Peter explained
that without a baggage ticket number, tracking was difficult, but he would keep trying. Frustrated, I washed my
only shirt in the washbowl, hung it near the heater, and hoped it would dry up for the conference in the afternoon.
By noon, Peter called. His voice apologetic and sympathetic, he told me that there had been a mistake and now
my suitcase was traveling to New York’s LaGuardia Airport. “All you can do is focus on today”, he advised, trying
to ease my anger and anxiety, “Just take it as a light travel”. Just then, a well-dressed stranger approached me. To
my astonishment, he reached into his own carry-on and pulled out a neatly folded new shirt and a pair of socks.
“Traveling Light ” he smiled, his eyes twinkling with understanding. As he offered them to me, I mumbled thanks,
overwhelmed with a blend of embarrassment and gratitude.
注意：1、续写词数应为 150 左右；

【答案】参考范文：
Paragraph 1
Peter’s advice, paired with the stranger’s kindness, kept me going through that week. I attended the conference in
the shirt from the kind stranger, introducing myself not with my title, but with my story of the lost suitcase. To my
surprise, the shared laughter over my predicament broke the ice faster than any business card. Without my prepared
notes, I listened more intently; without the tailored suit, I spoke more freely. The “essentials” I had packed now
seemed like layers of armor I no longer needed. Peter’s words had evolved from a mere consolation into a
philosophy: by letting go of what was missing, I had unexpectedly made room for genuine connection in the
present. (102)
Paragraph 2
A week later, at Salt Lake City Airport, I spotted my dusty bag on the conveyor belt. After countless phone calls
with Peter to check on it, I finally watched it go around, like a long lost friend. As I hugged it, I realized that the
true journey wasn’t the bag’s detour to New York, but my own path to realizing that everything I truly needed—
resilience, adaptability, and the kindness of strangers—had never been packed in it at all. “Could I call you again ”
I asked Peter. “As long as you fly Delta,” he laughed happily, “if you travel light.” Back home, I unpacked.
Everything was there, even the novel I’d anyway failed to finish. But the next trip, I chose to pack less—just one
shirt and socks. Freedom, I learned, is about letting go. (118)郑州外国语学校 2025-2026 学年下期高三调研 6 考试试卷

One day, as Nelly sorted through vegetable leftovers, especially corn husks (外壳) from her family kitchen,
she noticed their soft feel and structure. What if these weren’t just waste, but raw material for something beautiful
Her first doll was an experiment. Using dried corn husks for the body and silky threads from corn cores for the hair,
she built a tiny figure, dressed it in layered leaves, and painted on a face.
Word soon spread. Visitors to her flower shop admired the dolls, often mistaking them for handicrafts.
Encouraged by the response, Nelly began taking custom orders. Each doll was handmade, unique, and reflected her
evolving technique. Today, she operates from a small studio space where she continues to handcraft these dolls to
order. With no formal art training, she has taught herself how to subtilize natural materials, dry them for durability,
and combine them with decorative elements like seeds, flowers, and leaves.
Crafting one doll takes several days. First, the vegetable waste is carefully sorted, washed, and sun-dried.
Nelly uses the husks to form the body, folding and folding them into shape. The corn milk is woven into hair, while
dried flowers form necklaces or skirts. A final touch of paint brings out facial features, personality, and character.
No two dolls are alike, and that’s exactly how Nelly likes it.
Nelly’s journey hasn’t gone unnoticed. Her craft is now inspiring women in neighboring villages to explore
similar ideas with plant waste, encouraging entrepreneurship at it grassroots level. In a region where economic
opportunities can be limited, her model of self-employment, based on sustainable practices, is quietly empowering
women to earn from their own homes, using nothing but kitchen scraps and creative instinct.
4. Which word can best describe Nelly’s doll-making craft
A. Sustainable. B. Conventional. C. Portable. D. Luxurious.
5. What does the underlined word “subtilize” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Handle. B. Protect. C. Analyze. D. Supply.
6. Why does Nelly want no two dolls to be alike
A. To follow market trends. B. To reduce production costs.
C. To meet customers’ demands. D. To maintain artistic individuality.
7. How does Nelly’s model benefit women in her region
A. By providing factory jobs. B. By offering government allowances.
C. By enabling home-based income. D. By helping them establish brand awareness.

Each year, over 1.2 billion new smartphones are produced worldwide. This not only consumes significant
energy and natural resources but also results in large amounts of electronic waste, as users often replace functional
devices every few years. To address this issue, researchers have developed a new approach-transforming old
phones into small-scale data centers for practical applications.
“Innovation often begins not with something new, but with a new way of thinking about the old,” said Huber,
an associate professor. The research team demonstrated that outdated smartphones can be transformed into tiny
data centers capable of processing and storing data for real-world applications. They also found that building such a
data center only costs around 8 euros per device, making it an economical solution.
In their experiment the scientists carefully removed the batteries to prevent chemical leakage and connected
four old phones using 3D-printed cases. The system was powered externally and tested in practical environments.
One successful trial of the new approach involved underwater sea life monitoring, where the device automatically
recorded and analyzed sea species. Tasks that once required divers can now be handled directly by the device
underwater.
These reused devices show promise in other areas as well. For example, they could be applied at bus stops to
monitor passenger flow patterns and help urban planners adjust public transportation schedules and routes. This
approach not only reduces e-waste but also supports sustainable digital solutions for modern communities.
“This smart, green approach rethinks our throwaway tech culture. Sustainability is not just about preserving
the future but also about reimagining the present, turning yesterday’s devices into tomorrow’s solutions,” added
Ulrich, an Associate Professor of Software Engineering. With minimal investment and creative thinking, outdated
technology can serve new purposes, contributing to a greener digital society while effectively addressing the
growing problem of electronic waste.
8. Which of the following best describes the new approach in paragraph 2
A. Time-saving. B. Cost-effective C. User-friendly. D. Labor-intensive.
9. What was a successful application of the new approach
A. Assisting divers in recording sea animals. B. Producing 3D-printed cases for ocean use
C. Monitoring underwater life independently. D. Supplying power to underwater equipment.
10. What can we infer about the reused devices from paragraph 4
A. They predict the city traffic patterns. B. They inform passengers of bus arrivals.
C. They help with smart city management D. They assess the work of urban planners.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Global Smartphone Waste Problem B. A Green Solution: Repurposing Old Phones
C. An Eco-Digital Guide: Electronic Engineering D. The Sustainability of Smart City Development

In some Western parts, children of healthy weight have long become the exception. Now even in poor
countries, childhood obesity (肥胖) is spreading faster than ever before. The problem is not new: the percentage of
overweight children around the world went up in the 1980s, as junk food became a dietary staple. But the trend
today is alarming. A report by UNICEF found that the number of school-aged children who are obese is, for the
first time, higher than those who do not get enough food to stay healthy.
In Niue and the Cook Islands, nearly 40% of 5 — 19-year-olds are obese — the highest rates in the world.
The south Pacific also has some of the worst adult obesity rates, fueled by shifting diets and a culture that prizes
size. America ranks in the top 20 countries for childhood obesity, with a rate of 20%. In Europe, Hungary leads
with 15%.
Poor countries are particularly ill-equipped to tackle this issue. Health systems there were built to fight hunger
not obesity. Many babies are born underweight because of poor diets when their mothers are expecting them. That
alters their metabolism (新陈代谢) and makes rapid weight gain and other long-term health problems more likely
in adulthood. In South America and parts of Africa and the Middle East, the share of overweight children is already
higher than in western Europe and is nearing the 45% seen in North America.
The reason is simple: cheap, heavily processed foods are dominating children’s diets worldwide, crowding out
fresh fruits, vegetables and proteins. A UNICEF survey of 20 low- and middle-income countries found that more
than half of babies aged 6 — 23 months in 13 countries had consumed sweet drinks or sugary foods the previous
day. Even in Britain many ready-to-eat baby foods marketed as healthy are far from it. In countries with lax
regulation, the meals are worse. A study of hundreds of baby foods sold in seven South-East Asian countries found
that half were ultra-processed. A third contained additives that are not permitted under the Codex Alimentarius, the
UN’s food-standards code.
But changing diets is hard. Ultra-processed foods are about 50% cheaper than fresh or minimally processed
foods, according to the UN’s report on food systems. A global survey of school meals in 2024 found that 25% of
schools served processed meats, 21% served sweets, 19% served deep-fried food and 14% provided
sugar-sweetened drinks. Stronger rules that restrict the advertising and sales of unhealthy foods could help. So
could financial aid to make good food cheaper. What children eat early shapes their tastes for life. Adult diets are
habits fixed in childhood. Once formed, those tastes are hard to shift.
12. The author cites the specific obesity rates of Niue and the Cook Islands, America, and Hungary in paragraph 2
primarily ________.
A. to argue that European policies are the most effective
B. to show the problem is global affecting diverse regions
C. to rank the economic development levels of these places
D. to suggest the issue is most severe in Pacific Island nations
13. Which of the following is a major concern regarding childhood obesity in poor countries according to the
passage
A. Parents are not aware of the risks of obesity at all.
B. Children refuse to eat any fresh fruits or vegetables.
C. There is a complete lack of regulations on food advertising.
D. Health systems are not designed to deal with such problems.
14. According to the passage, what makes ultra-processed foods so popular worldwide
A. They taste better than fresh food.
B. They are much cheaper than fresh food.
C. They are more nutritious than natural food.
D. They are easier to cook at home.
15. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To criticize the food industry for promoting unhealthy foods.
B. To recommend specific lifestyle programs for obese children.
C. To analyze the global trend and challenges of childhood obesity.
D. To compare obesity rates between developed and poor countries.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Emotional intelligence is often spoken about as if it’s a mysterious quality you either have or don’t.
____16____ Of course, developing emotional intelligence isn’t an overnight achievement. It’s like learning to play
an instrument: at first you may hit the wrong notes, misunderstand the rhythm, or feel awkward. ____17____ Tune
in to your inner signals.
Most people are vaguely (模糊地) aware of their emotional state. Emotional intelligence begins by refining
(提炼) this awareness into something specific. Imagine you’ve just been cut off in traffic. Your body tenses and you
mutter under your breath. In that moment, an emotionally intelligent approach is to pause and silently name what
you feel: “frustration,” “a sense of disrespect.” ____18____ It shifts the experience from a raw, automatic reaction
into something you can observe and handle.
Learn to pause before responding.
One of the greatest powers emotional intelligence offers is the pause — the small gap between stimulus(刺激)
and response. ____19____ Without it, you’re a puppet (木偶) to whatever emotion shows up; with it, you become
the author of your actions.
To develop the pause, mindfulness meditation is an effective training ground. Sitting quietly, focusing on your
breath, and noticing when your mind wanders builds the ability to witness thoughts and feelings without
immediately acting on them.
____20____
Emotional intelligence is not just inward-looking. A core skill is empathy. This requires careful observation of
tone of voice, facial expressions, and body language. A powerful exercise is to spend a day paying attention to
micro-expressions — those quickly passing facial changes that often reveal true feelings before they’re masked. It
can help you respond in ways that make others feel seen and understood.
A. Practice active listening skills.
B. Read the emotional currents of others.
C. But with practice, the music starts to flow naturally.
D. In that space lies your ability to choose rather than react.
E. Simply naming an emotion has a calming effect on the brain.
F. See emotions not as random behavior but as information carriers.
G. In reality, it’s a living skill that you can develop and sharpen over time.

McDonald’s in the Netherlands has launched a pioneering advertising campaign. It uses something that’s even

牌) where the smell becomes the ____22____. The three plain red or yellow billboards didn’t even have a logo but

asks one of them, while a second says: “Fries ” A third then says: “I smell fries,” with a fourth adding: “It smells
like a Happy Meal — McDonald’s ” and a fifth finally ____28____ shouts: “The French fries from McDonald’s!”
Viewers were ____29____ with the idea, commenting: “Wish I had a McDonald’s Netherlands near me.”
Using sensors and Wi-Fi connectivity, the billboards can ____30____ when someone is nearby and release
their smell accordingly. This approach ensures that the smell is always present. Being strategically ____31____
within 200 yards of restaurants, these billboards cleverly give fast food fans the ____32____ they need to treat
themselves.
While this might seem like a gimmick (噱 头 ), there is good reason for having customers follow their
____33____. “When it comes to sparking (触发) clear and emotional memories, smell has been proven to be more
____34____ than images,” explained the chief marketing officer of McDonald’s Netherlands. “With the inclusion
of this next sense in our advertising, we’ve found a new way to ____35____ people of good times at McDonald’s.”

and explore rooms ____38____ (close) to the public in real life.
The value lies not in copying physical museums ____39____ in offering what the physical world cannot.
Some exhibits integrate animation, audio, and centered interpretation. Others reconstruct lost heritage or offer
behind-the-scenes looks at preservation.
A museum without walls can adapt and respond to cultural shifts with speed. Exhibits can go live.
____40____ (update) do not take months. The audience becomes part of the experience, not a silent ____41____
(observe). All of these are possible because of systems built to recreate, organize, and present knowledge in new
ways. Each of these systems plays a different role. Together, they change ____42____ people access history.
As we look ahead, museums, by embracing both digital transformation and cultural stewardship (守护), have
____43____ unique opportunity to become more inclusive, engaging, and ____44____ (sustain) than ever before.

47. 阅读下列材料，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。
It all began at my local Portland airport as I was checking in for my flight for Salt Lake City. Panic hit: my
suitcase was still at home. It held everything for a week-long conference in Utah: my tailored suit, a folder of
printed presentations, even the novel I planned to finally read on the flight. With no time to turn back, I called my
wife, who promised to send it on the next flight. An agent reassured me that it would reach my hotel by evening.
Armed with that promise, I boarded, unaware of the incredible journey that awaited my suitcase.
That night at my hotel, no suitcase arrived. I called Delta Airlines and Peter, a baggage service agent,
informed me that the connecting flight had been canceled. “Don’t worry. It’ll be on the first flight tomorrow and
delivered to your hotel by 9 a.m.” he promised.
The next morning at 9 a.m. nothing. I called Delta again, my voice shaking over the phone. “Where’s my
bag ” Peter responded calmly, “Can you make it through today ” “But I need the staff in my bag!” Peter explained
that without a baggage ticket number, tracking was difficult, but he would keep trying. Frustrated, I washed my
only shirt in the washbowl, hung it near the heater, and hoped it would dry up for the conference in the afternoon.
By noon, Peter called. His voice apologetic and sympathetic, he told me that there had been a mistake and now
my suitcase was traveling to New York’s LaGuardia Airport. “All you can do is focus on today”, he advised, trying
to ease my anger and anxiety, “Just take it as a light travel”. Just then, a well-dressed stranger approached me. To
my astonishment, he reached into his own carry-on and pulled out a neatly folded new shirt and a pair of socks.
“Traveling Light ” he smiled, his eyes twinkling with understanding. As he offered them to me, I mumbled thanks,
overwhelmed with a blend of embarrassment and gratitude.
注意：1、续写词数应为 150 左右；
2、请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
