It was our last class before the summer break. I was finishing the first year of an MFA program. I was tired and puzzled. “Was I good enough to be in the program ” When the professor asked about our summer plans, I panicked. I didn’t want to appear idle (无所事事的). “Gardening,” I responded immediately. Actually, I knew nothing about plants! My professor nodded and said, “What a good idea, Mary! Emily Dickinson loved gardening.”
Emily Dickinson lived in the countryside, studying plants as a child. I was in my late twenties, living in the city without gardening experience.
A few days later, I bought a jalape o seedling (青辣椒苗). At least I could say I’d tried gardening. I watered and changed the dirt for my little plant. I even talked to it. And over the summer, it grew bigger and bigger. I was proud. Maybe I didn’t have a black thumb after all.
I started the second year of my MFA, and then it was almost December and my jalape o was suffering. It was brown in some places, and many of its leaves had fallen. Would my little guy make it I prayed, “Please be okay,” as if its survival was closely linked to mine.
I worked hard in school. Spring came. My jalape o plant came back to life. It grew bigger with new leaves. And then it flowered. I handed in my graduate paper, a book of poems, in May. “Your poems are strong,” my professor said.
A huge weight lifted. I’d done it! At that time, I found the flowers on my jalape o plant were gone. I watched closer. A tiny green fruit pushed through where a flower had been. I smiled. I had succeeded in my MFA program, and my jalape o plant had grown right beside me, and I successfully did things I hadn’t thought possible.
24. Why did the author begin gardening
A. Just by accident.
B. Because of the love of gardening.
C. To express love for Emily Dickinson.
D. Because of the reminding of a professor.
25. When did the author begin her first gardening
A. In her childhood. B. In one of her summer breaks.
C. In her teens. D. In her first year of the MFA program.
26. What does the underlined phrase “a black thumb” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. A talent for growing plants well. B. A dirty finger to touch plants.
C. A good fortune to do everything. D. The inability to do gardening.
27. Which proverb can best describe the story
A. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. B. Easier said than done.
C. It’s never too old to learn. D. Do not teach fish to swim.
C
Have you ever noticed how the email icon (图标) on many computers and smartphones is of an envelope Or how camera phones make the sound of a real camera clicking when you take a photo, even though there’s no shutter to open or close These are examples of skeuomorphs, which are when new things take on the appearance or sound of the object they’ve replaced.
Why would new things want to look like something old It’s all to do with human psychology. Psychologist James Gibson says one of the ways people understand the world is through affordances — objects whose shape tells you how to use them. When creating new digital technologies, inventors like Steve Jobs of Apple used skeuomorphs so people would know how to use their products. By showing people an image of something they already knew how to use, it made using a computer or smartphone easier.
However, as people became more familiar with modern technology, some designers argued that skeuomorphs were no longer necessary. Indeed, the younger generation don’t need visual references to older items they’ve never used. This led to something called flat design, where computer desktops and smartphone home screens started to do away with skeuomorphism.
Skeuomorphs made a comeback, though, with smart watches. Many smart watches took on the appearance of an old fashioned watch, with a clock face. This was to encourage people who didn’t like digital watches to consider buying a smart watch.
While these are the ways skeuomorphs are used today, that doesn’t mean it’s only a modern phenomenon. In fact, the word was first used in 1899 by the archaeologist Henry Colley March, who realized that some ancient artefacts (人工制品) kept the appearance of older objects, even though there was no practical reason for them to do so. When ancient Greek builders moved from using wood to stone, they recreated some of the characteristics of wooden buildings. From ancient Greek architecture to 21st century technology, skeuomorphs have been a key feature of scientific progress. So, when you wonder about the objects of the future, take a look around. Chances are that they will look a lot like the objects of the past.
28. Which of the following is an example of skeuomorphs
A. B. C. D.
29. How would people feel about skeuomorphs
A. User-friendly. B. Safety-centered. C. Energy-saving. D. Cost-effective.
30. Why did some designers think skeuomorphs unnecessary
A. Users became accustomed to technology. B. These products were expensive to design.
C. Young people rejected traditional designs. D. The existing standards had been updated.
31. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The prediction about future objects. B. The key feature of scientific progress.
C. The design philosophies of skeuomorphism. D. The ever-lasting presence of skeuomorphs.
D
Google’s recently introduced Willow quantum chip (量子芯片) is a significant breakthrough in the field of quantum computing. It has 105 physical quantum bits and can complete a complex benchmark (基准) calculation in less than five minutes, while the fastest common computer would take 1025 years for the same task. This chip represents a major technological breakthrough as it solves the long-standing problem of quantum error correction.
The working mechanism of Willow is centered around its advanced error correction processes. It uses quantum correction codes, where multiple physical quantum bits are networked to create a single logical quantum bit, allowing for the identification of errors without disturbing the original quantum state. The chip also incorporates a system of active supervision that continuously monitors qubit (quamtum bit) behavior, detects abnormalities in real-time, and take measures immediately to correct errors.
This combination of real-time error correction and constant monitoring, along with an optimized architecture for handling qubits, enables Willow to reduce errors exponentially (呈指数增长) as the number of qubits increases. This is a major achievement, solving a problem that has plagued the field for nearly 30 years and paving the way for more powerful and practical quantum computing systems in the future.
The potential applications of Willow are vast, including quickening drug discovery, improving electric vehicle battery design, and advancing fusion energy and new energy alternatives. In conclusion, Google’s Willow quantum chip holds great promise for the future of computing and various industries.
However, it should be noted that Willow is still in the laboratory stage and requires further testing and improvement before practical application. It currently has 105 qubits, still too small to handle truly useful and complex real-world tasks. Experts suggest that millions of qubits may be needed to solve important industry problems. Moreover, the chip needs to operate in extremely low-temperature and highly controlled laboratory environments, which limits its immediate practical use. Therefore, while Willow shows great promise for the future of quantum computing, it is not yet ready for practical applications at present.
32 What should be left undisturbed when solving the problem of quantum error correction
A. Quantum correction codes. B. The network of quantum errors.
C. The original state of quantum. D. The system of active supervision.
33. What does the underlined word “plagued” in paragraph 3 most probably mean
A. Caused trouble to. B. Made use of. C. Had difficulty in. D. Set standards for.
34. Which of the following limits Willow’s practical use
A. Narrow application market. B. High testing cost.
C. Small qubit number. D. Possible environment pollution.
35. Which of the following would be the best title for this article
A. Willow: A Quantum Chip Setting New Benchmark
B. Google’s Willow: The End of Computing Problems
C. Willow Quantum Chip: Ready for practical application
D. Google’s Willow: Innovations and Limitations

第二节：读后续写(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，使其构成一篇完整的短文。
Stephanie, a freshman at East Peoria High School, had just finished her second day of classes, filled with excitement. Eager to enjoy the warm afternoon, she decided to take her bicycle out for a ride. The wind rushed past her, refreshing her spirit as she sped down a hill. However, in a cruel twist of fate, disaster struck. She suddenly lost control of her bike. The world around her seemed to slow down as she felt the bike slam into the ground. In a horrifying moment, she realized that one of the bike’s handle grips (车把) was missing, which left a sharp, exposed metal pipe that pierced her right leg, severed her artery (动脉) and flooded her body with intense pain.
Panic set in as she lay on the ground, her mind racing. A severed artery can cause rapid blood loss, leading to unconsciousness and death within minutes. Stephanie felt herself slipping away, believing she wouldn’t survive.
But in the midst of her anguish help was on the way.
Kupris, who had been working on a woodworking project nearby, heard the chaos, dropped his tools and rushed outside. His heart raced as he dashed along a block, driven by a desperate desire to assist. Following a trail of blood that painted a distinct contrast against the pavement, he felt a surge of fear and concern. When he finally reached the scene, the sight that came into view was terribly horrible. There lay Stephanie on the ground, her face pale and her body twisted in pain, severely injured.
“The whole thing looked impossible, couldn’t be real,” Kupris recalled later, still shaking with fright. He saw a severe wound on her upper leg. Blood was pouring out of the cut. He called her but there was still no response. Panic surged through him as he realized he needed to act quickly — every second counted.
注意：续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
“What should I do ” echoed in Kupris’s head.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Luckily, Stephanie opened her eyes.

【解析】
【原文】Hello and welcome to your first day at Ski School. Here we will teach you some basic fundamentals of skiing. We are a different school for anyone wanting to learn how to snowboard.
The first task we are going to finish is how to fall safely. People always ask me why it is important to learn how to fall. Falling in the right and safe way makes it easy to learn how to stop. If you know how to fall safely, you can stop whenever you feel uncomfortable and before you get hurt.
After we teach you how to fall, you will learn how to slow down and turn. It involves pointing the fronts of your skis toward each other. Moving the fronts of your skis toward and away from each other lets you control your speed. When the fronts are pointing toward each other, you will go slow. When they are parallel (平行的), you will speed up.
Every skier learns these basics before they progress to competitive levels. The best part is anyone, no matter how young or how old, can learn to ski. The purpose of learning these skills is for you to have fun on the beginners’ field.

It was our last class before the summer break. I was finishing the first year of an MFA program. I was tired and puzzled. “Was I good enough to be in the program ” When the professor asked about our summer plans, I panicked. I didn’t want to appear idle (无所事事的). “Gardening,” I responded immediately. Actually, I knew nothing about plants! My professor nodded and said, “What a good idea, Mary! Emily Dickinson loved gardening.”
Emily Dickinson lived in the countryside, studying plants as a child. I was in my late twenties, living in the city without gardening experience.
A few days later, I bought a jalape o seedling (青辣椒苗). At least I could say I’d tried gardening. I watered and changed the dirt for my little plant. I even talked to it. And over the summer, it grew bigger and bigger. I was proud. Maybe I didn’t have a black thumb after all.
I started the second year of my MFA, and then it was almost December and my jalape o was suffering. It was brown in some places, and many of its leaves had fallen. Would my little guy make it I prayed, “Please be okay,” as if its survival was closely linked to mine.
I worked hard in school. Spring came. My jalape o plant came back to life. It grew bigger with new leaves. And then it flowered. I handed in my graduate paper, a book of poems, in May. “Your poems are strong,” my professor said.
A huge weight lifted. I’d done it! At that time, I found the flowers on my jalape o plant were gone. I watched closer. A tiny green fruit pushed through where a flower had been. I smiled. I had succeeded in my MFA program, and my jalape o plant had grown right beside me, and I successfully did things I hadn’t thought possible.
24. Why did the author begin gardening
A. Just by accident.
B. Because of the love of gardening.
C. To express love for Emily Dickinson.
D. Because of the reminding of a professor.
25. When did the author begin her first gardening
A. In her childhood. B. In one of her summer breaks.
C. In her teens. D. In her first year of the MFA program.
26. What does the underlined phrase “a black thumb” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. A talent for growing plants well. B. A dirty finger to touch plants.
C. A good fortune to do everything. D. The inability to do gardening.
27. Which proverb can best describe the story
A. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. B. Easier said than done.
C. It’s never too old to learn. D. Do not teach fish to swim.
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者在攻读艺术硕士的第一年暑假种植青辣椒的故事，成功地做了以前认为不可能的事情。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段话“When the professor asked about our summer plans, I panicked. I didn’t want to appear idle (无所事事的). “Gardening,” I responded immediately. Actually, I knew nothing about plants!(当教授问起我们的暑假计划时，我慌了。我不想显得无所事事。“园艺。”我立刻回答。事实上，我对植物一无所知!)”可知，作者并不懂园艺，只是被教授突然问道，出于紧张，随口说了一个。因此，作者开始园艺只是出于偶然。故选A项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段话“It was our last class before the summer break.(这是我们暑假前的最后一节课。)”,第三段话“A few days later, I bought a jalape o seedling (青辣椒苗).(几天之后我买了一颗青辣椒苗。)”以及“ And over the summer, it grew bigger and bigger. (整个夏天，它变得越来越大)”可知，作者真正开始园艺是在暑假期间。故选B项。
【26题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线前“And over the summer, it grew bigger and bigger. I was proud.(整个夏天，它变得越来越大。我很自豪。)”可知，青椒苗在作者的培育下长势喜人。由此推断，作者觉得自己也有做好园艺的能力。划线处所在句子是个否定句，因此推知，此处指作者骄傲的自夸“或许我终究不是不擅长园艺的人”。故选D项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段话“I smiled. I had succeeded in my MFA program, and my jalape o plant had grown right beside me, and I successfully did things I hadn’t thought possible.(我笑了笑。我成功地完成了我的艺术硕士课程，我的墨西哥胡椒就长在我身边，我成功地做了一些我认为不可能的事情。)”可知，通过作者的努力，成功地做了自己认为不可能的事情。因此推断A项“世上无难事只怕有心人”最好的描述了这个故事。故选A项。
C
Have you ever noticed how the email icon (图标) on many computers and smartphones is of an envelope Or how camera phones make the sound of a real camera clicking when you take a photo, even though there’s no shutter to open or close These are examples of skeuomorphs, which are when new things take on the appearance or sound of the object they’ve replaced.
Why would new things want to look like something old It’s all to do with human psychology. Psychologist James Gibson says one of the ways people understand the world is through affordances — objects whose shape tells you how to use them. When creating new digital technologies, inventors like Steve Jobs of Apple used skeuomorphs so people would know how to use their products. By showing people an image of something they already knew how to use, it made using a computer or smartphone easier.
However, as people became more familiar with modern technology, some designers argued that skeuomorphs were no longer necessary. Indeed, the younger generation don’t need visual references to older items they’ve never used. This led to something called flat design, where computer desktops and smartphone home screens started to do away with skeuomorphism.
Skeuomorphs made a comeback, though, with smart watches. Many smart watches took on the appearance of an old fashioned watch, with a clock face. This was to encourage people who didn’t like digital watches to consider buying a smart watch.
While these are the ways skeuomorphs are used today, that doesn’t mean it’s only a modern phenomenon. In fact, the word was first used in 1899 by the archaeologist Henry Colley March, who realized that some ancient artefacts (人工制品) kept the appearance of older objects, even though there was no practical reason for them to do so. When ancient Greek builders moved from using wood to stone, they recreated some of the characteristics of wooden buildings. From ancient Greek architecture to 21st century technology, skeuomorphs have been a key feature of scientific progress. So, when you wonder about the objects of the future, take a look around. Chances are that they will look a lot like the objects of the past.
28. Which of the following is an example of skeuomorphs
A. B. C. D.
29. How would people feel about skeuomorphs
A. User-friendly. B. Safety-centered. C. Energy-saving. D. Cost-effective.
30. Why did some designers think skeuomorphs unnecessary
A. Users became accustomed to technology. B. These products were expensive to design.
C. Young people rejected traditional designs. D. The existing standards had been updated.
31. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The prediction about future objects. B. The key feature of scientific progress.
C. The design philosophies of skeuomorphism. D. The ever-lasting presence of skeuomorphs.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了拟物化设计在现代科技中的应用及其历史根源，解释了为什么新事物往往模仿旧事物的外观或声音，并讨论了随着技术进步，拟物化设计逐渐被平面设计取代，但在智能手表等新领域中又重新兴起，并且可能会一直存在。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“These are examples of skeuomorphs, which is when new things take on the appearance or sound of the object they’ve replaced. (这些都是拟物化设计的例子，也就是新事物呈现出被它们取代的物体的外观或声音)”可知，拟物化设计是指让新事物的外观或声音与被取代的旧事物相同。比较选项中的图标可知，C项的图标呈现的是过去常用的手电筒的外观，属于拟物化设计。故选C项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Psychologist James Gibson says one of the ways people understand the world is through affordances — objects whose shape tells you how to use them. When creating new digital technologies, inventors like Steve Jobs of Apple used skeuomorphs so people would know how to use their products. By showing people an image of something they already knew how to use, it made using a computer or smartphone easier. (心理学家James Gibson说，人们了解世界的方式之一是通过功能可见性——物体的形状告诉你如何使用它们。在创造新的数字技术时，像苹果公司的Steve Jobs这样的发明家使用了拟物化设计，这样人们就会知道如何使用他们的产品。通过向人们展示他们已经知道如何使用的东西的图像，它让使用电脑或智能手机变得更容易)”可知，拟物化设计更易于实现功能可见性，让使用者通过已知如何使用的东西的图像，知道如何使用新产品。由此可知，人们会觉得拟物化设计是用户友好的。故选A项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, as people became more familiar with modern technology, some designers argued that skeuomorphs were no longer necessary. (然而，随着人们对现代科技的熟悉，一些设计师认为拟物化设计不再是必要的)”可知，一些设计师认为没有必要使用拟物化设计是因为用户已经习惯了科技。故选A项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“While these are the ways skeuomorphs are used today, that doesn’t mean it’s only a modern phenomenon. In fact, the word was first used in 1899 by the archaeologist Henry Colley March, who realized that some ancient artefacts (人工制品) kept the appearance of older objects, even though there was no practical reason for them to do so. When ancient Greek builders moved from using wood to stone, they recreated some of the characteristics of wooden buildings. From ancient Greek architecture to 21st century technology, skeuomorphs have been a key feature of scientific progress. So, when you wonder about the objects of the future, take a look around. Chances are that they will look a lot like the objects of the past. (虽然这些都是今天人们使用拟物化设计的方式，但这并不意味着它只是一个现代现象。事实上，1899年，考古学家Henry Colley March首次使用了这个词，他意识到一些古代文物保留了更古老物体的外观，尽管没有实际的理由这样做。当古希腊建筑者从使用木材转向使用石头时，他们重现了木制建筑的一些特征。从古希腊建筑到21世纪的科技，拟物化设计一直是科学进步的一个关键特征。所以，当你对未来的事物感到好奇时，看看周围。它们很可能看起来很像过去的物品)”可知，本段先指出拟物化设计并非现代现象，然后追溯这一概念的历史起源和在考古中的发现，最后点明其重要性，表明拟物化设计在未来很可能依然存在。因此，本段主要是说明拟物化设计会一直存在。故选D项。
D
Google’s recently introduced Willow quantum chip (量子芯片) is a significant breakthrough in the field of quantum computing. It has 105 physical quantum bits and can complete a complex benchmark (基准) calculation in less than five minutes, while the fastest common computer would take 1025 years for the same task. This chip represents a major technological breakthrough as it solves the long-standing problem of quantum error correction.
The working mechanism of Willow is centered around its advanced error correction processes. It uses quantum correction codes, where multiple physical quantum bits are networked to create a single logical quantum bit, allowing for the identification of errors without disturbing the original quantum state. The chip also incorporates a system of active supervision that continuously monitors qubit (quamtum bit) behavior, detects abnormalities in real-time, and take measures immediately to correct errors.
This combination of real-time error correction and constant monitoring, along with an optimized architecture for handling qubits, enables Willow to reduce errors exponentially (呈指数增长) as the number of qubits increases. This is a major achievement, solving a problem that has plagued the field for nearly 30 years and paving the way for more powerful and practical quantum computing systems in the future.
The potential applications of Willow are vast, including quickening drug discovery, improving electric vehicle battery design, and advancing fusion energy and new energy alternatives. In conclusion, Google’s Willow quantum chip holds great promise for the future of computing and various industries.
However, it should be noted that Willow is still in the laboratory stage and requires further testing and improvement before practical application. It currently has 105 qubits, still too small to handle truly useful and complex real-world tasks. Experts suggest that millions of qubits may be needed to solve important industry problems. Moreover, the chip needs to operate in extremely low-temperature and highly controlled laboratory environments, which limits its immediate practical use. Therefore, while Willow shows great promise for the future of quantum computing, it is not yet ready for practical applications at present.
32. What should be left undisturbed when solving the problem of quantum error correction
A. Quantum correction codes. B. The network of quantum errors.
C. The original state of quantum. D. The system of active supervision.
33. What does the underlined word “plagued” in paragraph 3 most probably mean
A. Caused trouble to. B. Made use of. C. Had difficulty in. D. Set standards for.
34. Which of the following limits Willow’s practical use
A. Narrow application market. B. High testing cost.
C. Small qubit number. D. Possible environment pollution.
35. Which of the following would be the best title for this article
A. Willow: A Quantum Chip Setting New Benchmark
B. Google’s Willow: The End of Computing Problems
C. Willow Quantum Chip: Ready for practical application
D. Google’s Willow: Innovations and Limitations
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了谷歌最近新推出的一款量子芯片，该芯片具有创新之处，其推出带来巨大影响，但它目前也面临投入实际使用的很多困难。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“It uses quantum correction codes, where multiple physical quantum bits are networked to create a single logical quantum bit, allowing for the identification of errors without disturbing the original quantum state. (它使用量子校正码，其中多个物理量子比特联网以创建单个逻辑量子比特，允许在不干扰原始量子状态的情况下识别错误)”可知，当解决量子纠错问题时，原始量子态应保持不受干扰。故选C项。
33题详解】
词句猜测题。画线词的上文“This combination of real-time error correction and constant monitoring, along with an optimized architecture for handling qubits, enables Willow to reduce errors exponentially (呈指数增长) as the number of qubits increases. This is a major achievement, solving a problem (这种实时纠错和持续监控的结合，以及用于处理量子比特的优化架构，使Willow能够随着量子比特数量的增加而呈指数级减少错误。这是一个重大的成就，解决了一个问题)”提到Willow量子芯片的工作机制使其实现了呈指数级减少错误的目标，非常成功。由此推知，其成功的地方在于解决了困扰该领域近30年的一个问题，画线词在此处应表示“给……造成麻烦，困扰”的意思，A项Caused trouble to“给……带来麻烦”与之匹配。B项Made use of表示“利用”；C项Had difficulty in表示“在……方面有困难”；D项Set standards for表示“为……设定标准”。故选A项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“It currently has 105 qubits, still too small to handle truly useful and complex real-world tasks. (它目前有105个量子比特，仍然太小，无法处理真正有用和复杂的现实世界任务)”可知，量子比特数量少限制了Willow的实际应用。故选C项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“This chip represents a major technological breakthrough as it solves the long-standing problem of quantum error correction. (该芯片解决了长期存在的量子纠错问题，是一项重大的技术突破)”和最后一段中“However, it should be noted that Willow is still in the laboratory stage and requires further testing and improvement before practical application. (但需要注意的是，Willow目前还处于实验室阶段，在实际应用前还需要进一步的测试和完善)”可知，文章主要介绍了谷歌的Willow量子芯片，既阐述了它在量子计算领域的创新之处，如实时纠错和监控，又指出了它目前存在的局限性，如量子比特数量少、需要在极端低温和高度受控的实验室环境中运行等。因此，D项“谷歌的Willow：创新和局限性”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选D项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Kelvin Tran通过舞狮文化促进文化交流及其团队在2024世界华裔狮王争霸赛中的经历和感受。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：传统上，舞狮表演在中国新年和其他重要场合进行，旨在驱邪纳福。be intended to do sth.为固定搭配，表示“旨在做某事”，所以空处应用不定式to drive作目的状语。故填to drive。
【57题详解】
考查时态。句意：随着时间的推移，舞狮已经成为连接不同文化的桥梁，人们共同欣赏其艺术美感和象征意义。根据时间状语Over time可知，句子应用现在完成时，表示动作从过去开始持续到现在，并对现在产生影响，主语lion dance为单数，助动词用has。故填has emerged。
【58题详解】
考查形容词。句意同上。空处修饰名词beauty，应用形容词artistic作定语，表示“艺术的”。故填artistic。
【59题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：Tran在悉尼一个舞狮很受欢迎的社区长大。空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词a Sydney neighborhood，关系词在从句中作地点状语，应用关系副词where引导。故填where。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：八岁时，一位朋友介绍他学习舞狮，这标志着他踏入舞狮世界的关键一步。空处为非谓语动词，mark与前面整个句子之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，应用现在分词marking作结果状语，表示自然而然的结果。故填marking。
【61题详解】
考查名词。句意：随着他的热情高涨，Tran在2018年与人共同创立了一支舞狮队。空处位于形容词性物主代词his之后，应用名词enthusiasm作主语，表示“热情”，为不可数名词。故填enthusiasm。
【62题详解】
考查连词。句意：“我们的成员已经增加到70多人，这不仅反映了人数的增加，也反映了成员之间关系的加深，”他指出。not only...but (also)...为固定搭配，表示“不仅……而且……”，所以空处应用连词but。故填but。
【63题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：“我不会只称他们为朋友；我称他们为家人，”Tran强调，并指出舞狮如何帮助建立和加强澳大利亚的社区联系。空处引导宾语从句，且从句中缺少方式状语，表示“如何”，应用连接副词how引导。故填how。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：尽管没有获得“狮王”的称号，但Tran对团队的表现感到满意。despite为介词，后接动名词作宾语，且award与Tran之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，应用动名词的被动式being awarded。故填being awarded。
【65题详解】
考查副词。句意：“参加如此重要的比赛对我们来说非常特别，也非常有意义，”Tran说。空处修饰形容词meaningful，应用副词incredibly作状语，表示“极其，非常”。故填incredibly。

第二节：读后续写(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，使其构成一篇完整的短文。
Stephanie a freshman at East Peoria High School, had just finished her second day of classes, filled with excitement. Eager to enjoy the warm afternoon, she decided to take her bicycle out for a ride. The wind rushed past her, refreshing her spirit as she sped down a hill. However, in a cruel twist of fate, disaster struck. She suddenly lost control of her bike. The world around her seemed to slow down as she felt the bike slam into the ground. In a horrifying moment, she realized that one of the bike’s handle grips (车把) was missing, which left a sharp, exposed metal pipe that pierced her right leg, severed her artery (动脉) and flooded her body with intense pain.
Panic set in as she lay on the ground, her mind racing. A severed artery can cause rapid blood loss, leading to unconsciousness and death within minutes. Stephanie felt herself slipping away, believing she wouldn’t survive.
But in the midst of her anguish, help was on the way.
Kupris, who had been working on a woodworking project nearby, heard the chaos, dropped his tools and rushed outside. His heart raced as he dashed along a block, driven by a desperate desire to assist. Following a trail of blood that painted a distinct contrast against the pavement, he felt a surge of fear and concern. When he finally reached the scene, the sight that came into view was terribly horrible. There lay Stephanie on the ground, her face pale and her body twisted in pain, severely injured.
“The whole thing looked impossible, couldn’t be real,” Kupris recalled later, still shaking with fright. He saw a severe wound on her upper leg. Blood was pouring out of the cut. He called her but there was still no response. Panic surged through him as he realized he needed to act quickly — every second counted.
注意：续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
“What should I do ” echoed in Kupris’s head.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Luckily, Stephanie opened her eyes.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 “What should I do ” echoed in Kupris’s head. He quickly took off his shirt and tied it tightly around Stephanie’s leg above the wound, trying to slow down the blood loss as much as possible. He knew that he had to keep her conscious, so he gently patted her face and talked to her constantly, though he was not sure if she could hear him. Then he called 911, clearly stating their location and Stephanie’s condition. While waiting for the ambulance, he stayed by her side, constantly checking her pulse and trying to comfort her.
Luckily, Stephanie opened her eyes. She was still in great pain but felt a little relieved seeing Kupris beside her. Kupris told her that the ambulance was on its way and that she would be okay. Stephanie managed to whisper a thank-you. When the ambulance arrived, Kupris helped the paramedics load her onto the stretcher. At the hospital, Stephanie underwent immediate surgery. Thanks to Kupris’s quick actions, she survived. After that, Stephanie often visited Kupris to express her gratitude for saving her life.
