I had been ready for the inevitable failures of graduate school-experiments, proposals, even classes. But I was caught off-guard when midway through my first year I began to face a different type of challenge. I felt tired every morning. My appetite decreased. I started to notice an increase in trips to the bathroom. Finally came the blood each time I went, which continued for more than a week and spurred(刺激)me to go to the emergency department. My doctors told me I needed to focus completely on my health for the next 6 months. I hoped I could keep up with my studies and take care of my health by switching projects and attending classes virtually. However, my graduate program wasn’t keen on the idea and my doctors weren’t either. All said I had two options: a medical leave of absence or withdrawing from my program.
I had never taken a break before. I am the daughter of immigrants, and my parents believed breaks weren’t an option for our family. I feared adding to the dropout statistic for students of color. I feared a leave of absence would be seen as a sign of weakness. But I wasn’t ready to give up on graduate school, so the leave of absence seemed like the only option.
I was no longer a researcher or a student; I was a patient. When classmates swapped messages about assignments, experiments, and exams I felt I had nothing to add, so I stopped responding, and they stopped including me. The isolation fueled my fears, and then came the depression.
Still, I knew this leave of absence was essential. Over the past year, I connected with others who also took time away during graduate school. In hearing their stories, I learned that a leave of absence is perfectly OK, no matter the reason. There is bravery in taking the time to focus on yourself. I learned to take comfort in knowing that everyone’s Ph. D. journey is unique, and mine was far from over.
24. What unexpected challenge did the author face
A. Peer pressure.
B. Academic failures.
C. Physical problems.
D. An identity crisis.
25. What had the author intended to do in response to the doctor’s advice
A. Take online courses.
B. Quit her program.
C. Ask for a medical leave.
D. Focus entirely on her health.
26. What can best describe the author’s changing feelings about her leave of absence
A. Hopeful-desperate-proud.
B. Sorrowful-relieved-lonely.
C. Anxious-depressed-comfortable.
D. Ashamed-frightened-concerned.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. A Miracle of Bravery
B. A Break for My Health
C. My Rough Road to Recovery
D. My Incredible Ph. D. Journey
C
With one’s eyes closed, Beijing’s main roads sound like any Chinese city. All around is the roar of traffic, featuring recorded safety warnings from buses and the occasional bell of a rental-bicycle. But in the capital’s last hutongs, as its ancient grey-walled alleys are known, fragments of an older soundscape can be heard.
The song of caged crickets is one. Hung in the doorways of courtyard homes, the insects bring a rural note into the city. A quarter-century ago their song was common.
Another relic is the musical sound produced by steel plates, announcing a knife sharpener’s arrival. Several such specialists still work Beijing’s streets. Their sounding-plates attract customers from hutong homes and high-rise flats. But numbers are falling.
An almost-vanished Beijing sound is one of the strangest. Like the noise of flying saucers in an old science-fiction film, it is made by pigeon whistles. Tiny flutes made from bamboo, these are sewn into the tail feathers of pigeons kept in rooftop cage. The birds are released twice a day to circle in the sky. Even 20 years ago, it was possible to hear this melodic noise in the hutongs.
Modern Beijing is a city in a hurry. Many hutongs have been torn down to make way for wide avenues and shiny skyscrapers, leaving no room for pigeon lofts(鸽舍). Zhang Baotong is one of Beijinig’s last master pigeon-whistle makers. He is advising a museum of sound in Songzhuang, a suburb of Beijing that is popular with artists. A rooftop cage is planned, with more than 100 pigeons that will take to the skies for visitors.
The co-founder of the museum, Colin Siyuan Chinnery, is a British-Chinese artist and collector of Beijing’s sounds. He lists the rattles(拨浪鼓) and rhythmic cries used by fortune tellers and medicine sellers, doctors, barbers and knife sharpeners. Many of these will be showcased in an exhibition about old Beijing narrated by an animation of Mr. Zhang. Other places had traders’ cries, but true Beijingers dismiss sellers elsewhere as mere loud shouters; Beijingers’ pride is one tradition that never fades, Mr. Chinnery says.
28 Why does the author mention the song of caged crickets in paragraph 2
A. To promote insect conservation.
B. To highlight urban development.
C. To explain the decline of hutongs.
D. To illustrate a typical hutong sound.
29. What can be heard both in hutongs and on streets
A. Warnings from buses.
B. Song of caged crickets.
C. Noise of flying saucers.
D. Cries of knife sharpeners.
30. What has contributed to the decline of pigeon whistles
A. The changing taste of artists.
B. The decreasing number of hutongs.
C. The rapid expansion of pigeon lofts.
D. The new method of road construction.
31. What is the ultimate goal of the museum in Songzhuang
A. To attract artists and craftsmen.
B. To rebuild rooftop cages for pigeons.
C. To preserve the sounds of old Beijing.
D. To display sounds from all walks of life.
D
Last October, MIT Prof. Sinan Aral warned his Twitter followers that he had discovered a video of himself that he hadn’t recorded promoting an investment fund’s stock-trading algorithm(算法). In reality, it wasn’t Prof. Aral in the video, but an artificial-intelligence creation in his likeness, or what is known as a highly persuasive “deepfake”.
It is striking that scammers(欺诈者)targeted Prof. Aral considering he is a leading expert on the study of misinformation online. It also suggests that deepfake technology is now at a point where anyone can become a victim of such a scam, thanks to a number of free deepfake apps that are just a Google search away.
The term deepfake has come to mean the use of AI to create artificial media (images, audio, video) in which someone appears to be doing or saying what in reality they haven’t done or said. The technology isn’t always misused. But positive use cases are likely to be overshadowed in coming years by the technology’s potential role in financial fraud (欺诈), identity theft and worse.
The technology is moving so fast that lawmakers will likely always lag behind. That is why I believe we are going to have to rely on technology to protect us from a problem it helped create.
One such solution is to detect deepfakes via machine-learning methods. For instance, while deepfakes appear highly realistic, the technology isn’t yet capable of generating natural eye blinking. While these detectors can be successful in the short term, people looking to get around such systems will likely just respond with better technology, creating a continuing and expensive cat-and-mouse game. A better approach with a longer time horizon is media authentication systems to confirm the origins of images and videos. While legislation(法律) eventually may offer protection against deepfakes, I believe the market could be quicker- provided we, as consumers and citizens, care.
32. What do we know about deepfake technology
A. It is under legal protection.
B. It is a threat to almost everyone.
C. It is designed for leading experts.
D. It is priced too high for average users.
33. Which proverb best describes the author’s view on deepfake technology in paragraph 3
A. Every cloud has a silver lining.
B. Necessity is the mother of invention.
C. A double-edged sword cuts both ways.
D. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
34. What does the “mouse” in the cat-and-mouse game in paragraph 5 refer to
A. Deepfakes.
B. Detectors.
C. Confirmation systems.
D. Machine-learning methods.
35. What does the author suggest as a primary solution to the deepfake problem
A. Introducing tough laws.
B. Providing customer care.
C. Encouraging market competition.
D. Relying on technological advancements.

As long as she could remember, Mary had been fascinated by her grandmother’s notebooks. They were overflowing with stories and recipes from every corner of the globe, gathered during her wanderings in her youth. Those notebooks were like a time machine, taking her back to the days when her grandmother was young and full of life. She felt as if she could almost taste the flavors of the dishes her grandmother had cooked back then.
The notebooks were more than just pages of paper and ink. They were a reflection of her grandmother’s life, a record of her experiences and learning. Each recipe was a memory, each story a lesson learned. And now, those notebooks were about to pass into Mary’s keeping. Her grandmother had promised to pass them down to her when she was old enough to appreciate them.
Mary couldn’t wait to dive into those notebooks and discover more about her grandmother’s world. She was sure that they would be a rich source of knowledge and inspiration, and she was determined to honor her grandmother’s legacy (遗产) by preserving and cherishing those priceless notebooks.
One day, while searching through her grandmother’s attic (阁楼) , Mary came across a pile of unfamiliar notebooks. As she turned the pages of one of them, she realized they were filled with intricate (错综复杂的) details of her grandmother’s life. However, some pages were missing. Mary was puzzled. She wondered what could have happened to those missing pages and what secrets they might have held. She was determined to discover the truth behind the notebooks and fill in the missing pieces of her grandmother’s life.
With her heart pounding in her chest, Mary wildly searched the attic for those missing pages, but still couldn’t find them. Then, suddenly, she recalled her grandmother mentioning something about hiding things in plain sight. A light bulb went off in her head-the missing pages must be somewhere in the house! She knew she had to find them before they were lost forever.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
With renewed determination, Mary began her search.

Mary carefully removed the envelope trembling with excitement.

I had been ready for the inevitable failures of graduate school-experiments proposals, even classes. But I was caught off-guard when midway through my first year I began to face a different type of challenge. I felt tired every morning. My appetite decreased. I started to notice an increase in trips to the bathroom. Finally came the blood each time I went, which continued for more than a week and spurred(刺激)me to go to the emergency department. My doctors told me I needed to focus completely on my health for the next 6 months. I hoped I could keep up with my studies and take care of my health by switching projects and attending classes virtually. However, my graduate program wasn’t keen on the idea and my doctors weren’t either. All said I had two options: a medical leave of absence or withdrawing from my program.
I had never taken a break before. I am the daughter of immigrants, and my parents believed breaks weren’t an option for our family. I feared adding to the dropout statistic for students of color. I feared a leave of absence would be seen as a sign of weakness. But I wasn’t ready to give up on graduate school, so the leave of absence seemed like the only option.
I was no longer a researcher or a student; I was a patient. When classmates swapped messages about assignments, experiments, and exams I felt I had nothing to add, so I stopped responding, and they stopped including me. The isolation fueled my fears, and then came the depression.
Still, I knew this leave of absence was essential. Over the past year, I connected with others who also took time away during graduate school. In hearing their stories, I learned that a leave of absence is perfectly OK, no matter the reason. There is bravery in taking the time to focus on yourself. I learned to take comfort in knowing that everyone’s Ph. D. journey is unique, and mine was far from over.
24 What unexpected challenge did the author face
A. Peer pressure.
B. Academic failures.
C. Physical problems.
D. An identity crisis.
25. What had the author intended to do in response to the doctor’s advice
A. Take online courses.
B. Quit her program.
C. Ask for a medical leave.
D. Focus entirely on her health.
26. What can best describe the author’s changing feelings about her leave of absence
A. Hopeful-desperate-proud.
B. Sorrowful-relieved-lonely.
C. Anxious-depressed-comfortable.
D. Ashamed-frightened-concerned.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text

B. A Break for My Health
C. My Rough Road to Recovery
D. My Incredible Ph. D. Journey
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. C 27. B
【解析】

【详解】1. 推理判断题。从第一段“But I was caught off-guard when midway through my first year I began to face a different type of challenge. I felt tired every morning. My appetite decreased. I started to notice an increase in trips to the bathroom. Finally came the blood each time I went, which continued for more than a week and spurred(刺激)me to go to the emergency department. (但是，当我在第一年的中途开始面对一种不同类型的挑战时，我猝不及防。我每天早上都感到很累。我的食欲下降了。我开始注意到上厕所的次数有所增加。最后，我每次去都会流血，这种情况持续了一个多星期，促使我去急诊室。)”可以看出作者没有想到的是自己的身体情况发生了重大的变化，故选C。
2. 细节理解题。从第一段“My doctors told me I needed to focus completely on my health for the next 6 months. I hoped I could keep up with my studies and take care of my health by switching projects and attending classes virtually.

3. 推理判断题。第二段请假前作者提到面对请假的各种焦虑，如“I feared adding to the dropout statistic for students of color. I feared a leave of absence would be seen as a sign of weakness.(我害怕增加有色人种学生的辍学率。我担心休假会被视为软弱的表现。)”；第三段请假中远离课堂与同学疏远作者感到悲伤绝望“The isolation fueled my fears, and then came the depression(与世隔绝加剧了我的恐惧，然后是抑郁症。)”；第四段后来作者从他人的故事中得到安慰“I learned to take comfort in knowing that everyone’s Ph. D. journey is unique, and mine was far from over.(每个人的博士生涯都是独一无二的，而我的博士生涯还远远没有结束，这让我感到安慰。) ”可推断，面对离开作者先是焦虑，继而沮丧，最后感到宽慰。故选C。
4. 主旨大意题。整篇文章介绍了主人公在读博士期间意外得了重病，在需要请假暂停学业专注健康这件事上从焦虑沮丧到接受的过程，B项“为了我的健康休息一下”适合做文章标题。故选B。

With one’s eyes closed, Beijing’s main roads sound like any Chinese city. All around is the roar of traffic, featuring recorded safety warnings from buses and the occasional bell of a rental-bicycle. But in the capital’s last hutongs, as its ancient grey-walled alleys are known, fragments of an older soundscape can be heard.
The song of caged crickets is one. Hung in the doorways of courtyard homes, the insects bring a rural note into the city. A quarter-century ago their song was common.
Another relic is the musical sound produced by steel plates, announcing a knife sharpener’s arrival. Several such specialists still work Beijing’s streets. Their sounding-plates attract customers from hutong homes and high-rise flats. But numbers are falling.
An almost-vanished Beijing sound is one of the strangest. Like the noise of flying saucers in an old science-fiction film, it is made by pigeon whistles. Tiny flutes made from bamboo, these are sewn into the tail feathers of pigeons kept in rooftop cage. The birds are released twice a day to circle in the sky. Even 20 years ago, it was possible to hear this melodic noise in the hutongs.
Modern Beijing is a city in a hurry. Many hutongs have been torn down to make way for wide avenues and shiny skyscrapers, leaving no room for pigeon lofts(鸽舍). Zhang Baotong is one of Beijinig’s last master pigeon-whistle makers. He is advising a museum of sound in Songzhuang, a suburb of Beijing that is popular with artists. A rooftop cage is planned, with more than 100 pigeons that will take to the skies for visitors.
The co-founder of the museum, Colin Siyuan Chinnery, is a British-Chinese artist and collector of Beijing’s sounds. He lists the rattles(拨浪鼓) and rhythmic cries used by fortune tellers and medicine sellers, doctors, barbers and knife sharpeners. Many of these will be showcased in an exhibition about old Beijing narrated by an animation of Mr. Zhang. Other places had traders’ cries, but true Beijingers dismiss sellers elsewhere as mere loud shouters; Beijingers’ pride is one tradition that never fades, Mr. Chinnery says.
28. Why does the author mention the song of caged crickets in paragraph 2
A. To promote insect conservation.
B. To highlight urban development.
C. To explain the decline of hutongs.
D. To illustrate a typical hutong sound.
29. What can be heard both in hutongs and on streets
A. Warnings from buses.
B. Song of caged crickets.
C. Noise of flying saucers.
D. Cries of knife sharpeners.
30. What has contributed to the decline of pigeon whistles
A. The changing taste of artists.
B. The decreasing number of hutongs.
C. The rapid expansion of pigeon lofts.
D. The new method of road construction.
31. What is the ultimate goal of the museum in Songzhuang
A. To attract artists and craftsmen.
B. To rebuild rooftop cages for pigeons.
C. To preserve the sounds of old Beijing.
D. To display sounds from all walks of life.
【答案】28. D 29. D 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本篇为说明文。介绍了老北京胡同的传统声音以及艺术家和工艺大师联手保护老北京的声音。
【详解】1. 推理判断题。从第一段最后一句话中“fragments of an older soundscape can be heard(可以听到较古老的音景的片段。)”以及第二段开头“The song of caged crickets is one(关在笼子里的蟋蟀的歌声就是其中之一。)”可知，作者提到笼中蟋蟀的歌声用来说明一个典型的胡同声音。故选D。
2.细节理解题。从第三段“Another relic is the musical sound produced by steel plates, announcing a knife sharpener’s arrival. Several such specialists still work Beijing’s streets. Their sounding-plates attract customers from hutong homes and high-rise flats.(另一个遗迹是钢板发出的音乐声，宣告磨刀器的到来。一些这样的专业人员仍然在北京街头工作。他们的广告牌吸引了来自胡同住宅和高层公寓的顾客。但数字在下降。)”可知在胡同和街道上都能听到的是磨刀师傅的叫喊声。故选D。
3. 推理判断题。从第五段“Modern Beijing is a city in a hurry. Many hutongs have been torn down to make way for wide avenues and shiny skyscrapers, leaving no room for pigeon lofts(鸽舍). (现代北京是一个匆忙的城市。许多胡同已被拆除，为宽阔的大街和闪闪发光的摩天大楼让路，没有给鸽子棚留下空间)”可知胡同数量减少导致了鸽舍的减少。故选B。
4. 推理判断题。从最后一段中“He lists the rattles(拨浪鼓) and rhythmic cries used by fortune tellers and medicine sellers, doctors, barbers and knife sharpeners. Many of these will be showcased in an exhibition about old Beijing narrated by an animation of Mr. Zhang.(他列举了算命师、药商、医生、理发师和磨刀匠使用的拨浪鼓和有节奏的叫声。其中许多作品将在一个关于老北京的展览中展出，由张先生的动画讲述)”可推知，艺术家们将即将消失的声音重新放回博物中，他们的最终目的是想要保护老北京的声音。故选C。
D
Last October, MIT Prof. Sinan Aral warned his Twitter followers that he had discovered a video of himself that he hadn’t recorded promoting an investment fund’s stock-trading algorithm(算法). In reality, it wasn’t Prof. Aral in the video, but an artificial-intelligence creation in his likeness, or what is known as a highly persuasive “deepfake”.
It is striking that scammers(欺诈者)targeted Prof. Aral considering he is a leading expert on the study of misinformation online. It also suggests that deepfake technology is now at a point where anyone can become a victim of such a scam, thanks to a number of free deepfake apps that are just a Google search away.
The term deepfake has come to mean the use of AI to create artificial media (images, audio, video) in which someone appears to be doing or saying what in reality they haven’t done or said. The technology isn’t always misused. But positive use cases are likely to be overshadowed in coming years by the technology’s potential role in financial fraud (欺诈), identity theft and worse.
The technology is moving so fast that lawmakers will likely always lag behind. That is why I believe we are going to have to rely on technology to protect us from a problem it helped create.
One such solution is to detect deepfakes via machine-learning methods. For instance, while deepfakes appear highly realistic, the technology isn’t yet capable of generating natural eye blinking. While these detectors can be successful in the short term, people looking to get around such systems will likely just respond with better technology, creating a continuing and expensive cat-and-mouse game. A better approach with a longer time horizon is media authentication systems to confirm the origins of images and videos. While legislation(法律) eventually may offer protection against deepfakes, I believe the market could be quicker- provided we, as consumers and citizens, care.
32. What do we know about deepfake technology
A. It is under legal protection.
B. It is a threat to almost everyone.
C. It is designed for leading experts.
D. It is priced too high for average users.
33. Which proverb best describes the author’s view on deepfake technology in paragraph 3
A. Every cloud has a silver lining.
B. Necessity is the mother of invention.
C. A double-edged sword cuts both ways.
D. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
34. What does the “mouse” in the cat-and-mouse game in paragraph 5 refer to
A. Deepfakes.
B. Detectors.
C. Confirmation systems.
D. Machine-learning methods.
35. What does the author suggest as a primary solution to the deepfake problem
A. Introducing tough laws.
B. Providing customer care.
C. Encouraging market competition.
D. Relying on technological advancements.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本篇为说明文。文章主要介绍了深度伪造技术deepfake几乎威胁着每个人，同时介绍了我们该如何应对。
【详解】1. 细节理解题。从第二段“It also suggests that deepfake technology is now at a point where anyone can become a victim of such a scam, thanks to a number of free deepfake apps that are just a Google search away. (它还表明，深度伪造技术现在已经到了任何人都可能成为这种骗局的受害者的地步，这要归功于大量免费的深度伪造应用程序，而这些应用程序只需在谷歌搜索之外即可获得。)”可知深度伪造技术deepfake几乎威胁着每个人。故选B。
2. 推理判断题。从第三段“The term deepfake has come to mean the use of AI to create artificial media (images, audio, video) in which someone appears to be doing or saying what in reality they haven’t done or said. The technology isn’t always misused. But positive use cases are likely to be overshadowed in coming years by the technology’s potential role in financial fraud(欺诈), identity theft and worse.(“深度伪造”一词已经开始意味着使用人工智能来创建人工媒体(图像、音频、视频) ，在这些媒体中，人们似乎在做或说他们在现实中没有做或说过的事情。这项技术并不总是被滥用。但在未来几年，这项技术在金融欺诈、身份盗窃以及更糟糕的情况下的潜在作用，可能会给正面用例蒙上阴影。)”可推知作者认为深度伪造技术是一把双刃剑，正反效果都有可能会有。故选C。
3. 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句子“One such solution is to detect deepfakes via machine-learning methods. For instance, while deepfakes appear highly realistic, the technology isn’t yet capable of generating natural eye blinking. While these detectors can be successful in the short term, people looking to get around such systems will likely just respond with better technology, creating a continuing and expensive cat-and-mouse game. (其中一个解决方案是通过机器学习方法来检测深度伪造。例如，虽然“深度赝品”看起来非常逼真，但这项技术还不能产生自然的眨眼效果。虽然这些探测器可以在短期内取得成功，但是想要绕过这些系统的人们可能只会用更好的技术作出反应，创造一个持续的、昂贵的猫捉老鼠的游戏。)”可知，通过机器学习方法来检测深度伪造，即探测器是猫，深度伪造技术导致的问题是老鼠。故选A。
4. 推理判断题。从第四段“The technology is moving so fast that lawmakers will likely always lag behind. That is why I believe we are going to have to rely on technology to protect us from a problem it helped create.(这项技术发展得如此之快，以至于立法者们很可能总是落在后面。这就是为什么我相信我们将不得不依靠技术来保护我们免受它帮助创造的问题的影响。)” 可推知，作者认为解决深度伪造问题的主要方式要通过依靠技术进步。故选D。
第二节 (共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
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。
For most people, nothing is better than having an iced beer after you are back home in hot summer. ____36____ Why Just for the sake of your own health and the happiness of your family. Now good news for you. From now on you needn’t feel guilty just because you love beer. On the contrary, the benefits of drinking beer are obvious. But there is still one IMPORTANT point I have to make clear. ____37____
1. Beer reduces risk of heart disease You can easily reduce the risk of heart disease by 30% or more if you are one of the individuals who drink a pint of beer per day. The result is totally opposite if you drink too much beer. Be careful with your portions.
2. ____38____
Beer prevents diabetes due to the alcohol content which increases insulin (胰岛素) sensitivity. Also, beer is rich in dissolvable fiber that is so needed if the individual suffers from diabetes.
Beer minimizes risk of cancer Xanthohumol (抗氧化剂黄腐酚) is found in beer, which is very important since it has anti-cancer properties. Drinking beer in moderation speeds up chemical reactions that keep off the risk of prostate cancer (前列腺癌) in males. ____39____ Strange But it is true. That is because the drink contains components that decrease the risk of breast cancer.
4. Beer manages blood pressure
According to the recent studies carried out by Harvard researchers, middle-aged women who drink beer in moderation were much less likely to develop high blood pressure. Other alcoholic drinks do not have the same properties.
5. Beer treats dandruff (头皮屑)
____40____ The high content of vitamin B and yeast (酵母菌) will make your hair smooth and silky. Go and have a try.
You’ll be surprised to find the annoying dandruff finally gone.
A. Beer lowers risk of diabetes.

F. Remember it is how much beer you consume that matters to your health.
G. Beer is much healthier than all the shampoos and conditioners (护发素) that you see on the shelves in the supermarket or in advertisements.
【答案】36. D 37. F 38. A 39. C 40. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了喝啤酒的好处。
【36题详解】
根据空前“For most people, nothing is better than having an iced beer after you are back home in hot summer. (对于大多数人来说，在炎热的夏天回到家后，没有什么比来一杯冰啤酒更好的了。)”以及第一段第五六句“Now good news for you. From now on you needn’t feel guilty just because you love beer. (现在有个好消息要告诉你。 从现在起，你不必因为爱喝啤酒而感到内疚。)”可知，炎热的夏天，人们喜欢喝冰啤酒，但是会因为担心健康而内疚，但是现在好消息是不必因为爱喝啤酒而感到内疚了。结合选项可知，D项承上启下，符合语意。故选D项。
【37题详解】
根据空前“But there is still one IMPORTANT point I have to make clear. (但有一重点我必须要说清楚。)”可知，空处应为作者想强调的“重点”。结合选项F“Remember it is how much beer you consume that matters to your health. (记住，你喝多少啤酒关系到你的健康。)”可知，作者要强调的“重点”是不是啤酒影响健康，而是喝的量关系到健康。故选F项。
【38题详解】
根据设空位置，可推测为小标题。再结合第三段第一句“Beer prevents diabetes due to the alcohol content which increases insulin (胰岛素) sensitivity. (啤酒可以预防糖尿病，因为酒精含量会增加胰岛素的敏感性。)”可知，啤酒可以预防糖尿病。故选A项。
【39题详解】
根据空前“Drinking beer in moderation speeds up chemical reactions that keep off the risk of prostate cancer (前列腺癌) in males. (适量饮用啤酒可以加速化学反应，从而降低男性患前列腺癌的风险。)”以及空后“Strange But it is true. That is because the drink contains components that decrease the risk of breast cancer. (很奇怪吗 但这是真的。这是因为这种饮料含有降低患乳腺癌风险的成分。)”可知，适量饮用啤酒不仅可以降低男性患前列腺癌的风险，而且含有降低女性患乳腺癌风险的成分。所以结合选项C“Believe it or not, women should also drink beer. (信不信由你，女人也应该喝啤酒。)”可知，C项承上启下，符合逻辑。故选C项。
【40题详解】
根据小标题“Beer treats dandruff (头皮屑) (啤酒治疗头皮屑)”可知，接下来要讲的是啤酒对头皮屑所起到的作用以及好处。结合选项G“Beer is much healthier than all the shampoos and conditioners (护发素) that you see on the shelves in the supermarket or in advertisements. (啤酒比你在超市货架上或广告上看到的所有洗发水和护发素都要健康得多。)”可知，符合逻辑。故选G项。

第二节 (满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As long as she could remember, Mary had been fascinated by her grandmother’s notebooks. They were overflowing with stories and recipes from every corner of the globe, gathered during her wanderings in her youth. Those notebooks were like a time machine, taking her back to the days when her grandmother was young and full of life. She felt as if she could almost taste the flavors of the dishes her grandmother had cooked back then.
The notebooks were more than just pages of paper and ink. They were a reflection of her grandmother’s life, a record of her experiences and learning. Each recipe was a memory, each story a lesson learned. And now, those notebooks were about to pass into Mary’s keeping. Her grandmother had promised to pass them down to her when she was old enough to appreciate them.
Mary couldn’t wait to dive into those notebooks and discover more about her grandmother’s world. She was sure that they would be a rich source of knowledge and inspiration, and she was determined to honor her grandmother’s legacy (遗产) by preserving and cherishing those priceless notebooks.
One day, while searching through her grandmother’s attic (阁楼) , Mary came across a pile of unfamiliar notebooks. As she turned the pages of one of them, she realized they were filled with intricate (错综复杂的) details of her grandmother’s life. However, some pages were missing. Mary was puzzled. She wondered what could have happened to those missing pages and what secrets they might have held. She was determined to discover the truth behind the notebooks and fill in the missing pieces of her grandmother’s life.
With her heart pounding in her chest, Mary wildly searched the attic for those missing pages, but still couldn’t find them. Then, suddenly, she recalled her grandmother mentioning something about hiding things in plain sight. A light bulb went off in her head-the missing pages must be somewhere in the house! She knew she had to find them before they were lost forever.
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。
With renewed determination, Mary began her search.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mary carefully removed the envelope, trembling with excitement.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
With renewed determination, Mary began her search. First, she looked in the kitchen, the heart of her grandmother’s domain. She looked through the drawers, searched the cupboards, and even checked under the sink. Then she ventured into the living room, inspecting every inch of it. Just as she was about to give up, her gaze fell on a picture frame. It was a treasured possession from her grandmother, a memory from a past moment. As she inspected the frame, she saw it — a small envelope taped behind it.
Mary carefully removed the envelope, trembling with excitement. At last, she found the missing pages! As she read through the yellowed pages, the words seemed to leap off the page, transporting her back to her grandmother’s kitchen. The familiar flavor of dishes her grandmother was cooking filled the air, and she could even hear her grandmother’s voice speaking to her. She felt like she was walking through her grandmother’s life again, experiencing the highs and lows, the adventures and misadventures. It was an emotional rollercoaster ride, but at the same time, it was a beautiful journey of self-discovery.
Another possible version of paragraph 2:
Mary carefully renewed the envelope, trembling with excitement. Some yellowed pages were there! Between the words, she learned what her grandmother treasured — one regretful quarrel with her parents for future choices at the age of 18, a faithful commitment her grandfather made on their wedding day, the diet preferences of all she loved, and so on. As Mary read on, she couldn’t hold back her tears and even whispered, “I miss you, Grandma! I miss the flavor! I miss yow hugs!” These notebooks make Mary feel that her grandmother is never gone, and that her wisdom. her love, and her care for the whole family are still living in this world.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Mary从小对祖母的笔记本着迷，她的祖母答应过她，等她长大了能欣赏它的时候，就把它传给她。某天她在阁楼发现了一些丢失的书页，她想知道那些丢失的书页究竟发生了什么事，里面可能藏着什么秘密。她决心找出笔记本背后的真相，填补祖母生活中缺失的部分。最终她在相框里发现了祖母藏起来的信封。她觉得自己好像又一次走过了祖母的一生，经历了高潮和低谷，经历了冒险和不幸。
