Throughout my twenties I told myself that I would give up smoking one day. That seemed comfortably far away to prevent me panicking too much, but also definitive enough to fool myself into thinking I’d give up before it killed me. But then my thirties came and went and nothing happened.
Then, my aunt died from lung cancer. I had a moment of fear: unless I decide to stop smoking, there will be a high probability that at some point in my life I’ll have a cough or some other symptom (症状) and it will be cancer or a similar awful disease. Still, I didn’t act.
But I couldn’t help beginning a good, hard think about my smoking and what I was going to do about it. The more I thought about it, the more I questioned what I really loved about it. Then came the sudden realization: I was an addict-I was making all the kind of excuses that the alcohol and drug addicts made.
I decided to quit. But after a few days when out for drinks with friends, I yielded to temptation (诱惑) and had one. The next day I bought a pack of cigarettes and my very first quit attempt was well and truly a failure. But I learned from this and decided the next attempt would be better planned. I investigated different options online, and met with a smoking cessation (戒烟) nurse at my local surgery who used some techniques to change my thinking about smoking.
With all the support around me, I felt so confident about my ability to quit. I actually looked forward to the date I’d set to stop. That was nearly 10 years ago and I haven’t looked back. Of course, in the early days it wasn’t always plain sailing. There were times when I was weak and times when I nearly slipped up. But I was prepared for this and didn’t let it throw me off. Stopping smoking was one of the best things I’ve ever done.
4. What can we know about the author from the first two paragraphs
A. He was ignorant of cigarettes.
B. He cared little about his health.
C. He lacked motivation for working.
D. He didn’t make up his mind to quit smoking.
5. What inspired the author to make the first quit attempt
A. His self-analysis. B. Worsening health.
C. Symptoms of lung cancer. D. Loss of a family member.
6. What does the underlined phrase “yielded to” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Came up with. B. Gave in to.
C. Stepped out of. D. Broke away from.
7. Which can best describe the second attempt
A. It was fruitless. B. It lasted for 10 years.
C. It was a determined attempt. D. It was abandoned halfway.
C
It’s a familiar plot in movies and books: A bright-eyed man moves to the big city in search of fame and fortune. In the noises and lights, all hopes and dreams come true. But why do we stick to this old story In Four Lost Cities, author Annalee Newitz explores ancient settlements to find out why people flood into big cities — and why they leave.
The book is divided into four enjoyable, snack-sized sections, one for each city. Each section is accompanied by a handy map, drawn by artist Jason Thompson in an engaging cartoon style.
Rather than dry history, Newitz makes a special effort to highlight the oddities and innovations that made these cities unique. Take Catalh yük, the oldest city they feature, which boomed between 7500 and 5700 BC in what is now Turkey. This ancient city existed for nearly 2, 000 years despite lacking things that we might consider necessary for a city, such as roads, special public spaces or shopping areas.
The section on Cahokia (AD 1050 to 1350) —located in what is now Illinois — offers an unexpected reason for a city’s emergence. Many people link cities with capitalism and trade. Cahokia’s 30-meter-tall pyramids, 20-hectare (公顷) squares and a population (at the time) bigger than Paris suggest that spiritual revival (复苏) can also build a large city. Cahokia and Angkor, which reached its peak from AD 800 to 1431 in what is now Cambodia, also show how cities can form when power gets concentrated in a few influential people.
Each city, of course, eventually fell. But Newitz also reveals something else: Collapsing infrastructure (基础设施) provided the final push that kept people away. Here we spot our potential future, as climate crises and political instability threaten our own urban networks. But Newitz’s vivid imaginings, bright language and boundless enthusiasm manage to keep the tone optimistic. These cities did end, yes. Yet the people lived on.
8. Why is a bright-eyed man mentioned in paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic. B. To raise some doubts.
C. To make a comparison. D. To present a phenomenon.
9. How is paragraph 3 developed
A. By citing data. B. By defining a term.
C. By giving an example. D. By telling a story.
10. What was the reason for the rise of Cahokia and Angkor
A. Trade. B. Capitalism.
C A large population. D. Concentration of power.
11. What does the author think of Four Lost Cities
A. It features a cartoon style. B. It offers insight into our future.
C. It consists of no original ideas. D. It promotes the ancient cultures.
D
In the 20th century, conservationists set out to restore the Galapagos giant tortoise (巨型陆龟) on Espa ola — and the island ecosystem. From 1963 to 2020, conservationists reintroduced nearly 2,000 Galapagos giant tortoises to Espa ola. Since then, the tortoises have continued to multiply in the wild, causing the population to blossom to an estimated 3,000. They’ve also seen the ecological transformation of Espa ola.
The tortoises’ return has also helped the critically endangered waved albatross (信天翁) — a species that multiplies only on Espa ola. During the island’s woody times, Maud Quinzin, a conservation geneticist who has previously worked with Galapagos tortoises, says that people had to repeatedly clear the areas the seabirds use as runways to take off and land. Now, if the landing places are getting overgrown, they’ll move tortoises into the area to take care of it for them. The secret to this success is that — much like brown bears and elephants — giant tortoises are ecological architects. As they wander around, they change the landscape. They step on young trees and bushes before they can grow big enough to block the albatrosses’ way.
The giant tortoises likewise have a big impact on the giant species of prickly pear cactuses (仙人掌梨) that call Espa ola home — one of the tortoises’ favorite foods and an essential resource for the island’s other inhabitants. When the tortoises eat the cactus’s fallen leaves, they prevent them from taking root and competing with their parents. And, after they eat the cactus’s fruit, they drop the seeds across the island, offering a protective shell of fertilizer.
The extent of these and other ecological effects of the tortoise are documented in a new study by James Gibbs, a conservation scientist of the giant tortoise restoration program. The results, he says, are a good sign for other rewilding projects that include giant tortoise restoration as a keystone of their efforts, such as those underway on other islands of the Galapagos and the Mascarene Islands in the Indian Ocean.
12. What is a result of reintroducing the Galapagos giant tortoise to Espa ola
A. Endangerment of other species.
B. Restoration of the local ecosystem.
C. Decrease in giant tortoises’ population.
D. Transformation of rewilding projects.
13. How did the giant tortoise influence the waved albatross
A. By reducing the extent of woody plants.
B. By spreading the seeds of a key species.
C. By creating more living habitats for them.
D. By limiting the number of their competitors.
14. What is James Gibbs’s attitude towards the giant tortoise project
A. Unclear. B. Reserved. C. Positive. D. Dismissive.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Endangered Species Is Hard to Be Restored
B. Once-endangered Species Blossom in Galapagos Islands
C. Espa ola Became a Wonderland for Galapagos Giant Tortoises
D. Galapagos Giant Tortoises Prove Their Worth as Ecosystem Engineers

High-hope people are optimistic about their future and they believe in possibilities. They see challenges as opportunities to grow and learn, rather than as obstacles (障碍). Here’s a tip sheet to get you into the habit of hope.
Goal-setting is as important as the action you take toward achieving your goals. ___16___ They know that without a clear goal, it’s easy to get distracted and lose focus. Meanwhile, they don’t let life happen to them. Instead, they actively make decisions and take action to move forward in their lives. They usually visualize their goals and create conditions that set them up for success.
Being around positive people is one way to keep an optimistic mind. Hopeful people tend to spend more time associating with those who share a bright attitude. ___17___ People high in hope don’t block themselves from folks who have a more pessimistic viewpoint. They know that seeing different perspectives allows them to be realistic.
Hopeful people are always grateful for what they have. ___18___ They recognize that even though they may not have everything they want, they’re still lucky to have so much good in life, thus making them focus more on what’s in front of them.
___19___ When it comes to high-hope people, no matter what life throws at them, they try to see the silver lining. They don’t let the circumstance define their emotional response. In addition to having a positive outlook, high-hope people are also creative problem-solvers. When faced with a challenge, they don’t give up easily. ___20___
A. People high in hope do both.
B. Keeping a positive outlook is also important.
C. Another trick is sticking with positive people.
D. This allows them to stay positive and take urgent action.
E. That keeps them appreciative and grounded in the moment.
F. Instead, they find solutions that help them overcome the obstacles in their way.
G. However, this doesn’t mean they are intolerant of another person’s negativity or struggles.

47. 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。
In the fifth grade, my deskmate was Mia, a shy but clever girl. Being too shy to raise her hand even when she knew the answer, she didn’t participate in class actively. But I did admire her. I tried to draw her attention, in a rude and stupid way.
One day, I hid her pencil case somewhere in the classroom. When the bell rang, announcing the end of the day, she began to gather her things. Soon, she found her pencil box was gone. She opened her desk drawer: it was not there. She reached into her schoolbag but found nothing. Then she stole a glance at me. I grinned (咧嘴笑) at her, hoping she would enquire of me and then I would get the pencil case out, and then we would talk and laugh happily together. To my surprise, she just lowered her eyes, grabbed her schoolbag, and left without a word.
I kept playing these small but annoying jokes on Mia, thinking Mia would, one day, notice how funny a girl I was, without realizing that she was extremely uneasy.
I escalated (升级) my daily“annoyance”to something bigger on a sunny afternoon, when I happened to get some itching powder (痒痒粉).
I tried it on myself. Feeling a sharp, burning pain, I couldn’t help screaming, which aroused a big laugh from people who didn’t know what was happening. Then it suddenly struck me: Why not share it with Mia She would know how“interesting”it was. Of course, I would do it in a “joking” way.
So, after the math class, during the break, I slipped behind her and threw a handful of itching powder down her back. Mia jumped up and screamed loudly. So loud and frightened was she that even I myself realized, for the first time, that I did something terribly wrong.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I was called to the teacher’s office.

Mia did forgive me later.

Throughout my twenties I told myself that I would give up smoking one day. That seemed comfortably far away to prevent me panicking too much, but also definitive enough to fool myself into thinking I’d give up before it killed me. But then my thirties came and went and nothing happened.
Then, my aunt died from lung cancer. I had a moment of fear: unless I decide to stop smoking, there will be a high probability that at some point in my life I’ll have a cough or some other symptom (症状) and it will be cancer or a similar awful disease. Still, I didn’t act.
But I couldn’t help beginning a good, hard think about my smoking and what I was going to do about it. The more I thought about it, the more I questioned what I really loved about it. Then came the sudden realization: I was an addict-I was making all the kind of excuses that the alcohol and drug addicts made.
I decided to quit. But after a few days when out for drinks with friends, I yielded to temptation (诱惑) and had one. The next day I bought a pack of cigarettes and my very first quit attempt was well and truly a failure. But I learned from this and decided the next attempt would be better planned. I investigated different options online, and met with a smoking cessation (戒烟) nurse at my local surgery who used some techniques to change my thinking about smoking.
With all the support around me I felt so confident about my ability to quit. I actually looked forward to the date I’d set to stop. That was nearly 10 years ago and I haven’t looked back. Of course, in the early days it wasn’t always plain sailing. There were times when I was weak and times when I nearly slipped up. But I was prepared for this and didn’t let it throw me off. Stopping smoking was one of the best things I’ve ever done.

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Throughout my twenties I told myself that I would give up smoking one day. That seemed comfortably far away to prevent me panicking too much, but also definitive enough to fool myself into thinking I’d give up before it killed me. But then my thirties came and went and nothing happened.(在我二十多岁的时候，我告诉自己总有一天我要戒烟。这似乎很遥远，可以防止我过于恐慌，但也足够明确地欺骗自己，在它杀死我之前我会放弃。但后来我三十多岁了又走了，什么都没发生。)”和第二段中的“I had a moment of fear…Still, I didn’t act.(我当时很害怕，但我没有采取行动。)”可知，作者没有真正下定决心去戒烟。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But I couldn’t help beginning a good, hard think about my smoking and what I was going to do about it. The more I thought about it, the more I questioned what I really loved about it. Then came the sudden realization: I was an addict(但我忍不住开始好好地、认真地思考我的吸烟问题，以及我该怎么做。我想得越多，就越怀疑我到底喜欢它什么。然后我突然意识到：我是个瘾君子)”和第四段中的“I decided to quit.(我决定戒掉。)”可知，是自我分析使作者开始了第一次戒烟的尝试。故选A。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词后的“The next day I bought a pack of cigarettes and my very first quit attempt was well and truly a failure.(第二天我买了一包烟，我的第一次戒烟尝试彻底失败了。)”可知，第二天，作者买了一包烟，第一次戒烟的尝试失败了。由此可知，画线词所在句指的是作者决定戒烟，但几天后和朋友出去喝酒，屈服于诱惑了，画线词意为“屈服于”，gave in to与其同义。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“I investigated different options online, and met with a smoking cessation (戒烟) nurse at my local surgery who used some techniques to change my thinking about smoking.(我在网上调查了不同的选择，并在我当地的诊所见了一位戒烟护士，她用一些技巧改变了我对吸烟的看法。)”和最后一段中的“Of course, in the early days it wasn’t always plain sailing. There were times when I was weak and times when I nearly slipped up. But I was prepared for this and didn’t let it throw me off.(当然，在早期，它并不总是一帆风顺。有时我很虚弱，有时我几乎跌倒。但我对此有所准备，并没有被它吓倒。)”可知，在戒烟早期，并不总是一帆风顺的，但作者已经做好了准备，并没有因此而放弃。由此可推断，作者第二次戒烟的尝试是坚定的。故选C。
C
It’s a familiar plot in movies and books: A bright-eyed man moves to the big city in search of fame and fortune. In the noises and lights, all hopes and dreams come true. But why do we stick to this old story In Four Lost Cities, author Annalee Newitz explores ancient settlements to find out why people flood into big cities — and why they leave.
The book is divided into four enjoyable, snack-sized sections, one for each city. Each section is accompanied by a handy map, drawn by artist Jason Thompson in an engaging cartoon style.
Rather than dry history, Newitz makes a special effort to highlight the oddities and innovations that made these cities unique. Take Catalh yük, the oldest city they feature, which boomed between 7500 and 5700 BC in what is now Turkey. This ancient city existed for nearly 2, 000 years despite lacking things that we might consider necessary for a city, such as roads, special public spaces or shopping areas.
The section on Cahokia (AD 1050 to 1350) —located in what is now Illinois — offers an unexpected reason for a city’s emergence. Many people link cities with capitalism and trade. Cahokia’s 30-meter-tall pyramids, 20-hectare (公顷) squares and a population (at the time) bigger than Paris suggest that spiritual revival (复苏) can also build a large city. Cahokia and Angkor, which reached its peak from AD 800 to 1431 in what is now Cambodia, also show how cities can form when power gets concentrated in a few influential people.
Each city, of course, eventually fell. But Newitz also reveals something else: Collapsing infrastructure (基础设施) provided the final push that kept people away. Here we spot our potential future, as climate crises and political instability threaten our own urban networks. But Newitz’s vivid imaginings, bright language and boundless enthusiasm manage to keep the tone optimistic. These cities did end, yes. Yet the people lived on.
8. Why is a bright-eyed man mentioned in paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic. B. To raise some doubts.
C. To make a comparison. D. To present a phenomenon.
9. How is paragraph 3 developed
A. By citing data. B. By defining a term.
C. By giving an example. D. By telling a story.
10. What was the reason for the rise of Cahokia and Angkor
A. Trade. B. Capitalism.
C. A large population. D. Concentration of power.
11. What does the author think of Four Lost Cities
A. It features a cartoon style. B. It offers insight into our future.
C. It consists of no original ideas. D. It promotes the ancient cultures.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了Annalee Newitz所著的《失落之城：四座世界古城的生与死》这本书的相关信息。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“It’s a familiar plot in movies and books: A bright-eyed man moves to the big city in search of fame and fortune.(一个眼睛明亮的男人搬到大城市寻找名声和财富，在响声和灯光下，所有的希望和梦想都成真了，这是电影和书籍中熟悉的情节)”和第一段中的“But why do we stick to this old story In Four Lost Cities, author Annalee Newitz explores ancient settlements to find out why people flood into big cities — and why they leave.(但我们为什么要坚持这个古老的故事呢？在《失落之城：四座世界古城的生与死》，作者Annalee Newitz探索了古老的定居点，以找出人们涌入大城市的原因，以及他们离开的原因。)”和下文对《失落之城：四座世界古城的生与死》这本书的介绍可推断，文章第一段提到眼睛明亮的男人是为介绍《失落之城：四座世界古城的生与死》这本书做铺垫，即引出本文的话题。故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Rather than dry history, Newitz makes a special effort to highlight the oddities and innovations that made these cities unique.(Newitz并没有枯燥乏味的历史讲解，而是特别努力强调使这些城市独一无二的怪异和创新。)”以及“Take Catalh yük, the oldest city they feature, which boomed between 7500 and 5700 BC in what is now Turkey.(以他们最古老的城市Catalh yük为例，它在公元前7500年至5700年间在现在的土耳其蓬勃发展。)”可知，Newitz没有枯燥地介绍历史，而是特别强调了使这些城市独一无二的奇特和创新之处，之后举例最古老的城市Catalh yük。由此可推断，第三段是用举例子的方式展开的，故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Cahokia and Angkor … also show how cities can form when power gets concentrated in a few influential people.( Cahokia和Angkor……也展示了当权力集中在少数有影响力的人身上时，城市是如何形成的)”可知，Cahokia和Angkor这两座城市展示了城市可以在权力集中在一些有影响力的人身上时形成，由此可知，权力的集中是Cahokia和Angkor这两个城市兴起的原因，故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Here we spot our potential future, as climate crises and political instability threaten our own urban networks.(在这里，我们看到了我们潜在的未来，因为气候危机和政治不稳定威胁着我们自己的城市网络。)”可知，随着气候危机和政治不稳定威胁到我们自己的城市网，我们在这里看见了我们潜在的未来，由此可知，这本书可以让我们洞察我们的未来，故选B项。
D
In the 20th century, conservationists set out to restore the Galapagos giant tortoise (巨型陆龟) on Espa ola — and the island ecosystem. From 1963 to 2020, conservationists reintroduced nearly 2,000 Galapagos giant tortoises to Espa ola. Since then, the tortoises have continued to multiply in the wild, causing the population to blossom to an estimated 3,000. They’ve also seen the ecological transformation of Espa ola.
The tortoises’ return has also helped the critically endangered waved albatross (信天翁) — a species that multiplies only on Espa ola. During the island’s woody times, Maud Quinzin, a conservation geneticist who has previously worked with Galapagos tortoises, says that people had to repeatedly clear the areas the seabirds use as runways to take off and land. Now, if the landing places are getting overgrown, they’ll move tortoises into the area to take care of it for them. The secret to this success is that — much like brown bears and elephants — giant tortoises are ecological architects. As they wander around, they change the landscape. They step on young trees and bushes before they can grow big enough to block the albatrosses’ way.
The giant tortoises likewise have a big impact on the giant species of prickly pear cactuses (仙人掌梨) that call Espa ola home — one of the tortoises’ favorite foods and an essential resource for the island’s other inhabitants. When the tortoises eat the cactus’s fallen leaves, they prevent them from taking root and competing with their parents. And, after they eat the cactus’s fruit, they drop the seeds across the island, offering a protective shell of fertilizer.
The extent of these and other ecological effects of the tortoise are documented in a new study by James Gibbs, a conservation scientist of the giant tortoise restoration program. The results, he says, are a good sign for other rewilding projects that include giant tortoise restoration as a keystone of their efforts, such as those underway on other islands of the Galapagos and the Mascarene Islands in the Indian Ocean.
12. What is a result of reintroducing the Galapagos giant tortoise to Espa ola
A. Endangerment of other species.
B. Restoration of the local ecosystem.
C. Decrease in giant tortoises’ population.
D. Transformation of rewilding projects.
13. How did the giant tortoise influence the waved albatross
A. By reducing the extent of woody plants.
B. By spreading the seeds of a key species.
C. By creating more living habitats for them.
D. By limiting the number of their competitors.
14. What is James Gibbs’s attitude towards the giant tortoise project
A. Unclear. B. Reserved. C. Positive. D. Dismissive.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Endangered Species Is Hard to Be Restored
B. Once-endangered Species Blossom in Galapagos Islands
C. Espa ola Became a Wonderland for Galapagos Giant Tortoises
D Galapagos Giant Tortoises Prove Their Worth as Ecosystem Engineers
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了加拉帕戈斯巨型陆龟被重新引入Espa ola岛后，该岛的生态环境逐渐得以恢复。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“From 1963 to 2020, conservationists reintroduced nearly 2,000 Galapagos giant tortoises to Espa ola. Since then, the tortoises have continued to multiply in the wild, causing the population to blossom to an estimated 3,000. They’ve also seen the ecological transformation of Espa ola. (从1963年到2020年，环保主义者将近2000只加拉帕戈斯巨龟重新引入Espa ola。从那以后，这种陆龟在野外继续繁殖，使其数量达到了大约3000只。他们也看到了Espa ola的生态转型)”可知，拉帕戈斯巨型陆龟的重新引入恢复了当地的生态系统。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Now, if the landing places are getting overgrown, they’ll move tortoises into the area to take care of it for them. The secret to this success is that — much like brown bears and elephants — giant tortoises are ecological architects. As they wander around, they change the landscape. They step on young trees and bushes before they can grow big enough to block the albatrosses’ way. (现在，如果着陆点杂草丛生，他们就会把巨龟移到这个地方来为他们管理这里。这一成功的秘诀在于——就像棕熊和大象一样——巨龟是生态建筑师。当它们四处游荡时，它们改变了景观。在小树和灌木丛长到足以挡住信天翁的路之前，它们就会被巨龟踩到)”可知，巨型陆龟的游荡会阻止小树和灌木丛过度生长挡住信天翁的跑道，即减少了木本植物的范围。故选A项。
14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The results, he says, are a good sign for other rewilding projects that include giant tortoise restoration as a keystone of their efforts (他说，这一结果对其他将巨龟恢复作为他们努力的基石的再野生化项目来说是一个好兆头)”可知，James Gibbs认为其他涉及巨龟的再野生化项目有望和该项目一样取得良好的效果，因此他的态度是积极乐观的。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了加拉帕戈斯巨型陆龟被重新引入Espa ola岛后，该岛的生态环境逐渐得以恢复，岛上的信天翁和仙人掌梨物种从中受益。因此，D项“加拉帕戈斯巨型陆龟证明了自己作为生态系统工程师的价值”契合文章大意，最适合作为标题。故选D项。

Meanwhile, they don’t let life happen to them. Instead, they actively make decisions and take action to move forward in their lives.

Being around positive people is one way to keep an optimistic mind. Hopeful people tend to spend more time associating with those who share a bright attitude. ___17___ People high in hope don’t block themselves from folks who have a more pessimistic viewpoint. They know that seeing different perspectives allows them to be realistic.
Hopeful people are always grateful for what they have. ___18___ They recognize that even though they may not have everything they want, they’re still lucky to have so much good in life, thus making them focus more on what’s in front of them.
___19___ When it comes to high-hope people, no matter what life throws at them, they try to see the silver lining. They don’t let the circumstance define their emotional response. In addition to having a positive outlook, high-hope people are also creative problem-solvers. When faced with a challenge, they don’t give up easily. ___20___
A. People high in hope do both.

(保持积极的心态也很重要。)”表达的含义一致，故选B项。
【20题详解】
根据空前的“When faced with a challenge, they don’t give up easily. (心怀希望的人们面对挑战不会轻易放弃。)”可知，F项“Instead, they find solutions that help them overcome the obstacles in their way. (相反，他们会寻找能够帮助他们克服前进道路上的障碍的解决方法。)”和上文构成转折关系，讲心怀希望的人们面对挑战时，不轻言放弃，会努力想到解决方法，符合语境，故选 F项。

考查副词。句意：这部电影还生动地描述了唐朝自由奔放的本质。例如，在唐朝的国家科举考试中，成绩最好的人被允许在首都的任何住所骑马和采摘最美丽的花。分析句子，设空处应该使用vivid的副词修饰动词describes，作状语。故填vividly。
【45题详解】

Dear John,
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
【答案】Dear John,
I’m glad to receive your letter, in which you told me that your club are doing a project about body language. Body language varies from culture to culture. In Western culture, it’s perfectly normal to hug someone when greeting. As for Chinese greetings, Chinese people cannot accept such closeness. If it’s not someone you’ re extremely close with, remember to avoid hugging! It may be considered very rude. We are also taught not to stare at strangers for long as it shows disrespect and aggression. The list is endless. But there is a golden rule in our culture: treat someone the way you want to be treated.
Hope you’ll find it useful.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
In the fifth grade, my deskmate was Mia, a shy but clever girl. Being too shy to raise her hand even when she knew the answer, she didn’t participate in class actively. But I did admire her. I tried to draw her attention, in a rude and stupid way.
One day, I hid her pencil case somewhere in the classroom. When the bell rang, announcing the end of the day, she began to gather her things. Soon, she found her pencil box was gone. She opened her desk drawer: it was not there. She reached into her schoolbag but found nothing. Then she stole a glance at me. I grinned (咧嘴笑) at her, hoping she would enquire of me and then I would get the pencil case out, and then we would talk and laugh happily together. To my surprise, she just lowered her eyes, grabbed her schoolbag, and left without a word.
I kept playing these small but annoying jokes on Mia, thinking Mia would, one day, notice how funny a girl I was, without realizing that she was extremely uneasy.
I escalated (升级) my daily“annoyance”to something bigger on a sunny afternoon, when I happened to get some itching powder (痒痒粉).
I tried it on myself. Feeling a sharp, burning pain, I couldn’t help screaming, which aroused a big laugh from people who didn’t know what was happening. Then it suddenly struck me: Why not share it with Mia She would know how“interesting”it was. Of course, I would do it in a “joking” way.
So, after the math class, during the break, I slipped behind her and threw a handful of itching powder down her back. Mia jumped up and screamed loudly. So loud and frightened was she that even I myself realized, for the first time, that I did something terribly wrong.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

I was called to the teacher’s office.

Mia did forgive me later.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
I was called to the teacher’s office. Head dropping in shame, tears streaming down my cheeks, I choked apologetically, “I didn’t mean to hurt you. It was just a joke.” I explained everything to my teacher and Mia, saying that I tried hard to be humorous so that Mia could be my friend. My teacher stared at me seriously and then turned to the other tearful girl. She told Mia to tell me how she felt about what I had done. It wasn’t until then that I realized what I thought was a joke was a pain to Mia. I felt really guilty about what I had done to Mia and I begged for her forgiveness.
Mia did forgive me later. She never mentioned those stupid and annoying acts again but she began to talk to me quietly. Gradually, we began to share those girls’ secrets with each other. You could never imagine how grateful I was! I had thought she would never let it go. In my fifth grade, I learnt one of the most important lessons in my life: A joke would be a joke only when “Mia” thinks it is. Humor is appreciated only when it doesn’t hurt anyone.
