（2025高二下·鄞州期中） If you're reading my confessions (自白), congratulations! You'll have a safe and healthy summer.
We love when you work up a sweat. It's really the carbon dioxide you breathe out that makes us beeline toward you, not the fragrance of your "sweet blood."
Love beer So do some of us. They can tell when you've been drinking because your skin chemistry changes, and it attracts them.
Pregnant Yum.If you're having a baby, you emit more carbon dioxide and your belly has a higher temperature, drawing some of us right to you. Sorry, baby.
Hate getting bitten up Blame the ladies. Males do not eat human blood: They get all their nutrition from plants. After we have a blood meal, we can lay anywhere from 100 to 400 eggs.
Smelly feet are simply delicious. Scientists have shown we find your toes ten times more inviting than Limburger cheese.
If your home's landscaping is well tended, we won't like it as much. We like to hang out in thick, overgrown vegetation. The darker and more damp, the better. And puddles (水沟) of smelly water is where we like to lay our eggs.
Got those CO2 -emitting traps in your yard Great!You may think you're outsmarting us with these devices, which emit carbon dioxide to lure (引诱) us into a trap. But they may attract more of us than they are able to trap, increasing our presence in your yard.
When it comes to West Nile, end-of-summer bites may do more harm. It's simple logic: We bite birds with West Nile virus; then we bite humans and spread it. By summer's end, we've had more chances to bite infected birds.

（2025高二下·鄞州期中） At 67, Joyce Faulkner thought she was looking for a holiday. Her husband, Jim, had recently died and exploring possible house swaps on the Home Exchange website felt less painful. In the end, it was not a vacation Faulkner found but a job. She left her home in Edinburgh to become mother's help to seven-year-old twins in Varese, Italy.
"It's halfway crazy," she says. A house swap she was interested in didn't work out, but the owner, Rachele, asked: "‘Do you know anyone who might help me with the children ' I wrote back and said: ‘Tell me what that involves!' She wrote me a little list, and I said: ‘I could do that!' We seemed to believe in each other."
Two months later, when Faulkner reached Varese, "the dad, Andrea, was walking towards me with the children hiding behind his legs, kind of shy, thinking: ‘Who is this woman in a long black coat ' I don't think it was quite Mary Poppins, but the atmosphere was immediately warm and friendly."
Eighteen months on, Faulkner's job no longer feels like a job. "I just feel like part of the family." They joke: "You think you're going back to Scotland No, you're staying here!" She gives English lessons, helps with the housework, meets the children from school, plays chess or table tennis with them, and takes them to the park. "It never feels like work," she says. "It has been absolutely the perfect match." Faulkner's son, Steven, who lives in London, has visited her and they have cycled around the northern Italian lakes. She feels no more distant than when she lived in Edinburgh.
"You have to take the opportunity when it presents itself," Jim once said.
"I'll be 70 in January, but in my head, I'm 30. I still feel the same person, I have the same enthusiasm for life, the same interest in people and things. In that sense, I wish I had another 70," Faulkner jokes.
4．Why did Joyce Faulkner search the Home Exchange website
A．To hunt for a job.
B．To buy a house in Italy.
C．To explore holiday resorts.
D．To find a holiday home for exchange.
5．What probably caused Faulkner to be hired by Rachele
A．Good luck. B．Mutal trust.
C．Common interests. D．First impression.
6．What can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4
A．Faulkner feels less close to her son
B．Faulkner feels quite at home while babysitting in Italy.
C．Faulkner returned to her old business despite her advanced years.
D．Faulkner was thought of as a typical baby-sitter at the first meeting.

（2025高二下·鄞州期中）A dropped bag of chips disturbed a cave ecosystem in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. This cave is almost cut off from the outside world, so introducing anything foreign can be harmful. "Things in the damp cave get wet quickly," says park guide Ashley The snack attracts tiny organisms, causing unwanted growth. Soon small animals like crickets and spiders eat, spreading the pollution. Rangers found the bag within hours. "But that can be all it takes," says Ashley, "I'm sure some crickets got a bit of the snack."
Over 500 million people visit American public lands each year, creating many chances to harm wild places. "When you look at the numbers, it's incredible," says Watts, head of the Leave No Trace Center in Colorado, an organization aimed at minimizing human impact on nature.
Food waste takes a long time to break down, especially in certain areas. "It takes much longer for an applet core to rot in a desert than in a forest." says Blye, a teacher at the University of Utah, Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and changes their behavior with sometimes disastrous results. Bears who taste garbage and become a threat to humans may have to be put down. "Bears can get used to unnatural food in three weeks," says Watts. "Everyone loses in this case."
Biological waste is also problematic. Dog waste brings new bacteria into the ecosystem and scares away deer. Meanwhile, human waste and toilet paper introduces dangerous bacteria into water sources.
In national parks, trails (小路) are designed to avoid sensitive areas. Stepping off the trail, even for a quick photo, can scare wildlife away. Impacts from many visitors result in long-term damage to nature and wildlife. But people don't think of that when they see the perfect photo opportunity. "It's just such a hard thing to resist," says Blye. The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn't obvious. "It's easy to think, oh, there's wildflowers over there. I shouldn't step on that," says Blye, but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life provide many benefits, including reducing the risk of erosion (侵蚀) and helping absorb rainfall, and can take hundreds of years to return to its original state.
12．What attracted crickets and spiders
A．Foreign bacteria. B．Water sources.
C．Food waste. D．Human trails.
13．What is the function of Ashley's quote underlined in paragraph 1
A．Describe cleanup process B．Emphasize instant damage
C．Praise rangers' efficiency D．Explain cricket habits
14．Why does the writer mention wildflowers in paragraph 5
A．To praise their benefits to desert life.
B．To highlight our damage to ecosystems.
C．To stress their significance for photography.
D．To show our unawareness of nature's sensitivity.
15．What is conveyed in this text
A．Encouraging wildlife protection. B．Leaving no trace in the wild.
C．Promoting national park tourism. D．Restoring ecological damage.
【答案】12．C
13．B
14．D
15．B
【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；说明文；环境保护类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，强调人类活动对自然环境和生态系统造成的潜在危害，特别是在国家公园等自然保护区内。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇环保类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
12．细节理解题。根据第一段中的"The snack attracts tiny organisms, causing unwanted growth. Soon small animals like crickets and spiders eat, spreading the pollution."这种零食吸引了微小的生物，导致了不必要的生长。很快，像蟋蟀和蜘蛛这样的小动物就跑来觅食，从而扩散了污染。可知，食物垃圾吸引了蟋蟀和蜘蛛。故选C。
13．推理判断题。根据第一段中的"A dropped bag of chips disturbed a cave ecosystem in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. This cave is almost cut off from the outside world, so introducing anything foreign can be harmful."在新墨西哥州的卡尔斯巴德洞穴国家公园，一袋掉落的薯片扰乱了洞穴的生态系统。这个洞穴几乎与外界隔绝，所以引入任何外来的东西都可能有害；以及"Soon, small animals like crickets and spiders came to eat, spreading the pollution."很快，像蟋蟀和蜘蛛这样的小动物就跑来觅食，从而扩散了污染。可知，一袋薯片掉落在洞穴里，虽然护林员在几小时内就发现了薯片，但是在此之前薯片已经吸引了微小生物，导致了不必要的生物生长，蟋蟀和蜘蛛等小动物也跑来觅食并扩散了污染。所以Ashley说"But that can be all it takes."意思是损害已经造成了。可推知，第一段中下划线的阿什利的引言强调了瞬间伤害。故选B。
14．推理判断题。根据第五段中的"‘It's just such a hard thing to resist, ‘says Blye. The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn't obvious. ‘It's easy to think, oh, there's wildflowers over there. I shouldn't step on that, 'says Blye, but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life provide many benefits, including reducing the risk of erosion (侵蚀) and helping absorb rainfall, and can take hundreds of years to return to its original state.""这真的很难抗拒，"Blye说。对敏感生态系统造成的风险并不明显。"很容易想到，哦，那边有野花。我不应该踩到它们，"Blye说，但这些充满了对沙漠生命至关重要的微生物的微小生态系统有很多益处，包括降低侵蚀风险和帮助吸收降雨，而且可能需要数百年才能恢复到原来的状态)"可知，Blye说人们看到拍照机会很难抗拒，对敏感生态系统的风险并不明显。人们很容易想到那边有野花不应该踩到，但这些对沙漠生命至关重要的微小生态系统有很多益处，而且需要数百年才能恢复到原来的状态。可推断作者在第五段提到野花是为了表明我们对大自然敏感性的无意识。故选D。
15．推理判断题。根据第二段"Over 500 million people visit American public lands each year, creating many chances to harm wild places. ‘When you look at the numbers, it's incredible,' says Watts, head of the Leave No Trace Center in Colorado, an organization aimed at minimizing human impact on nature."每年有超过5亿人参观美国的公共土地，这造成了许多破坏野生环境的机会。"当你看到这些数字时，真是令人难以置信，"科罗拉多州"不留痕迹"中心的负责人Watts说，该组织旨在将人类对自然的影响降到最低)"结合全文内容。可知，本文讲述了人类活动对自然环境造成的破坏，尤其是食物残渣和生物垃圾对洞穴生态系统和国家公园的影响，以及强调了保护自然环境、不留痕迹的重要性。可推断本文传达的是我们应该在野外不留下痕迹。故选B。
（2025高二下·鄞州期中）Below are what will have happened by the mid-point of this century-both for good and bad.
Right now, people are focused on AI potentially causing job losses.　16． 　 George Stakhov said, "By 2050, AI will have profoundly reshaped the world. It is very likely that there is a dark AI future where those who control AI will gain huge power, while 99 percent of the population will be deprived of their rights. The AI masters will control the world's data and turn the rest of us into their slaves.　17． 　 In that case, everyone benefits from AI through better healthcare, faster transport and less pollution."
Futurist and former Google engineer Ray Kurzweil says that people will have integrated with machines by 2025 and predicts that by 2045, people will have connected their brains to machines, integrating with the intelligence created.　18． 　
　19． 　 That means we could be in contact with aliens. Shostak said that newer measurements suggest that there could be billions of Earth-like worlds. That may be the strongest argument for life in space.
Rising humidity (湿度) and heat will lead to heatwaves where it is almost impossible for humans to survive in areas including South Asia and the Red Sea.　20． 　 Humans can survive temperatures of up to 50 ℃ when humidity is low, but in high humidity, humans cannot survive because there is no way to cool down by sweating. Even extremely strong and fit people die within hours. Large areas of the Earth might be uninhabitable.
A. The alternative is a bright AI prospect.
B. However, the reality could be far worse.
C. Actually, AI brings far more benefits than harm.
D. This means that the Earth is the only place with life.
E. By 2070, this will also be true in areas of Brazil and China.
F. Thus, people will increase their effective intelligence a billion-fold.
G. Alien-hunting astronomer Shostak bets we should find aliens within two dozen years.

47．（2025高二下·鄞州期中）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。
The Popsicle Kids
A nearly empty box of Popsicles (棒冰) in the freezer, left from a grandchild's visit, caught my attention. Initially, I wanted to throw it away, but my wife suggested we give the remaining Popsicles to the neighborhood children. Her suggestion changed our life and led us to a future full of "Popsicle Kids." My wife and I, retired on Social Security, live in an apartment complex. After careers in sales and nursing, our daily concerns revolved around aches, pains, and dinner. We often wondered what good we were to the world.
That changed dramatically after we gave away the first Popsicle.
Minutes after watching a neighbor boy, a second grader, walk away with an icy treat, our doorbell rang. An adorable blond girl, about six, smiled sweetly, "Is it true you're giving away Popsicles "
With the box empty, we returned to our concerns.
Early the next morning, the doorbell rang repeatedly. Standing on our porch were the four children from the previous day. They vocalized their wants, chanting (有节奏地喊), "We want Popsicles! We want Popsicles!"
Looking into their eager young faces, I wondered, "What have I started " Sensing a victory, they nodded eagerly when I explained the rules: ring the bell once, one Popsicle per day, and share something good about their day. But their thin shoulders bent downwards in disappointment when I mentioned they had to give something in return. I came to the rescue, suggesting they share something positive about their day, like what they learned at school or helping another student. Over time, new rules were added: "Ladies first," "Don't interrupt," and "Properly get rid of the sticks."
On holidays, they expressed their understanding of why the day was celebrated. Over the years, about fifty youngsters visited. Some became part of my life, like the four kids who joined me on the steps one spring to read "Where the Red Fern Grows." We discussed catching crawfish, loving pets, and family relationships. This simple act of sharing Popsicles transformed our life, bringing joy and meaning to both the children and ourselves.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph1:
One night, another boy appeared at the door, saying "I don't want a Popsicle; I just need to talk"
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
I've sensed it's more than Popsicles that bring these kids to our door.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph1:
One night, another boy appeared at the door, saying "I don't want a Popsicle; I just need to talk". Surprised but concerned, I invited him in and offered a seat. He sat on the couch, looking down at his shoes, his face filled with anxiety. Slowly, he opened up about the argument he had with his best friend at school that day. I listened attentively, nodding occasionally to show I was there for him. After he poured out his feelings, I shared some stories of my own childhood conflicts and how I resolved them. By the end of our talk, his frown had turned into a faint smile. Before leaving, he thanked me earnestly, and I realized that our little Popsicle tradition had become a safe haven for these kids.
Paragraph 2：
I've sensed it's more than Popsicles that bring these kids to our door. Beyond the sweet treats, it's the sense of trust and understanding we've built. We've become their confidants, their listening ears. For us, these interactions have filled our retired life with purpose and warmth. We've witnessed their growth, their joys, and their sorrows. Each time the doorbell rings, it's not just the anticipation of sharing a Popsicle but an opportunity to connect, to offer comfort, and to be a part of these young lives. In return, they've given us a new perspective on life and a deeper appreciation for the simple yet profound power of human connection.
【知识点】文字式记叙文；开放性作文；读后续写
【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知，本文讲述了一对靠社保退休的夫妻，原本生活单调，对自身价值感到迷茫。一次偶然将孙子留下的剩余棒冰分给邻居孩子的举动，开启了"棒冰孩子"的故事。孩子们因棒冰而来，夫妻为此制定分享规则，随着时间推移，分享棒冰的过程逐渐成为孩子们交流生活趣事、表达想法的契机，也让夫妻见证了孩子们的成长。在这一过程中，分享棒冰不仅给孩子们带来快乐，也赋予了这对退休夫妻生活新的意义。段落续写：①由第一段首句内容"一天晚上，另一个男孩出现在门口，说："我不想要冰棍，我只是想聊聊天。""可知，第一段可描写小男孩告诉作者自己在学校发生的事，作者分享自己的故事——安慰小男孩的过程。②由第二段首句内容"我已经意识到，把这些孩子吸引到我们家门口的不只是冰棍。"可知，第二段可描写作者经过这件事的感悟。写作时注意准确运用时态，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系，尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。
【点评】该续写与前文紧密相连，情节发展自然流畅，语言运用生动且富有表现力。作者成功地深化了文章的主题，表达了棒冰背后的更深层次意义——信任和理解。文章情感真挚，能够引发读者的共鸣和思考，是一篇优秀的续写作品。文中有一些好的词句，例如： Surprised but concerned, I invited him in and offered a seat. 运用了形容词作状语；He sat on the couch, looking down at his shoes, his face filled with anxiety.运用了现在分词作状语，独立主格结构； Slowly, he opened up about the argument he had with his best friend at school that day. 运用了限制性定语从句；I listened attentively, nodding occasionally to show I was there for him. 运用了现在分词作状语，宾语从句；After he poured out his feelings, I shared some stories of my own childhood conflicts and how I resolved them.运用了时间状语从句，宾语从句； Before leaving, he thanked me earnestly, and I realized that our little Popsicle tradition had become a safe haven for these kids.运用了并列句，宾语从句；Beyond the sweet treats, it's the sense of trust and understanding we've built.运用了限制性定语从句； Each time the doorbell rings, it's not just the anticipation of sharing a Popsicle but an opportunity to connect, to offer comfort, and to be a part of these young lives.运用了时间状语从句。

（2025高二下·鄞州期中） If you're reading my confessions (自白), congratulations! You'll have a safe and healthy summer.
We love when you work up a sweat. It's really the carbon dioxide you breathe out that makes us beeline toward you, not the fragrance of your "sweet blood."
Love beer So do some of us. They can tell when you've been drinking because your skin chemistry changes, and it attracts them.
Pregnant Yum.If you're having a baby, you emit more carbon dioxide and your belly has a higher temperature, drawing some of us right to you. Sorry, baby.
Hate getting bitten up Blame the ladies. Males do not eat human blood: They get all their nutrition from plants. After we have a blood meal, we can lay anywhere from 100 to 400 eggs.
Smelly feet are simply delicious. Scientists have shown we find your toes ten times more inviting than Limburger cheese.
If your home's landscaping is well tended, we won't like it as much. We like to hang out in thick, overgrown vegetation. The darker and more damp, the better. And puddles (水沟) of smelly water is where we like to lay our eggs.
Got those CO2 -emitting traps in your yard Great!You may think you're outsmarting us with these devices, which emit carbon dioxide to lure (引诱) us into a trap. But they may attract more of us than they are able to trap, increasing our presence in your yard.
When it comes to West Nile, end-of-summer bites may do more harm. It's simple logic: We bite birds with West Nile virus; then we bite humans and spread it. By summer's end, we've had more chances to bite infected birds.

（2025高二下·鄞州期中） At 67, Joyce Faulkner thought she was looking for a holiday. Her husband, Jim, had recently died and exploring possible house swaps on the Home Exchange website felt less painful. In the end, it was not a vacation Faulkner found but a job. She left her home in Edinburgh to become mother's help to seven-year-old twins in Varese, Italy.
"It's halfway crazy," she says. A house swap she was interested in didn't work out, but the owner, Rachele, asked: "‘Do you know anyone who might help me with the children ' I wrote back and said: ‘Tell me what that involves!' She wrote me a little list, and I said: ‘I could do that!' We seemed to believe in each other."
Two months later, when Faulkner reached Varese, "the dad, Andrea, was walking towards me with the children hiding behind his legs, kind of shy, thinking: ‘Who is this woman in a long black coat ' I don't think it was quite Mary Poppins, but the atmosphere was immediately warm and friendly."
Eighteen months on, Faulkner's job no longer feels like a job. "I just feel like part of the family." They joke: "You think you're going back to Scotland No, you're staying here!" She gives English lessons, helps with the housework, meets the children from school, plays chess or table tennis with them, and takes them to the park. "It never feels like work," she says. "It has been absolutely the perfect match." Faulkner's son, Steven, who lives in London, has visited her and they have cycled around the northern Italian lakes. She feels no more distant than when she lived in Edinburgh.
"You have to take the opportunity when it presents itself," Jim once said.
"I'll be 70 in January, but in my head, I'm 30. I still feel the same person, I have the same enthusiasm for life, the same interest in people and things. In that sense, I wish I had another 70," Faulkner jokes.
4．Why did Joyce Faulkner search the Home Exchange website
A．To hunt for a job.

（2025高二下·鄞州期中）A dropped bag of chips disturbed a cave ecosystem in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. This cave is almost cut off from the outside world, so introducing anything foreign can be harmful. "Things in the damp cave get wet quickly," says park guide Ashley The snack attracts tiny organisms, causing unwanted growth. Soon small animals like crickets and spiders eat, spreading the pollution. Rangers found the bag within hours. "But that can be all it takes," says Ashley, "I'm sure some crickets got a bit of the snack."
Over 500 million people visit American public lands each year, creating many chances to harm wild places. "When you look at the numbers, it's incredible," says Watts, head of the Leave No Trace Center in Colorado, an organization aimed at minimizing human impact on nature.
Food waste takes a long time to break down, especially in certain areas. "It takes much longer for an applet core to rot in a desert than in a forest." says Blye, a teacher at the University of Utah, Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and changes their behavior with sometimes disastrous results. Bears who taste garbage and become a threat to humans may have to be put down. "Bears can get used to unnatural food in three weeks," says Watts. "Everyone loses in this case."
Biological waste is also problematic. Dog waste brings new bacteria into the ecosystem and scares away deer. Meanwhile, human waste and toilet paper introduces dangerous bacteria into water sources.
In national parks, trails (小路) are designed to avoid sensitive areas. Stepping off the trail, even for a quick photo, can scare wildlife away. Impacts from many visitors result in long-term damage to nature and wildlife. But people don't think of that when they see the perfect photo opportunity. "It's just such a hard thing to resist," says Blye. The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn't obvious. "It's easy to think, oh, there's wildflowers over there. I shouldn't step on that," says Blye, but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life provide many benefits, including reducing the risk of erosion (侵蚀) and helping absorb rainfall, and can take hundreds of years to return to its original state.
12．What attracted crickets and spiders
A．Foreign bacteria. B．Water sources.
C．Food waste. D．Human trails.
13．What is the function of Ashley's quote underlined in paragraph 1
A．Describe cleanup process B．Emphasize instant damage
C．Praise rangers' efficiency D．Explain cricket habits
14．Why does the writer mention wildflowers in paragraph 5
A．To praise their benefits to desert life.

Right now, people are focused on AI potentially causing job losses.　16． 　 George Stakhov said, "By 2050, AI will have profoundly reshaped the world. It is very likely that there is a dark AI future where those who control AI will gain huge power, while 99 percent of the population will be deprived of their rights. The AI masters will control the world's data and turn the rest of us into their slaves.　17． 　 In that case, everyone benefits from AI through better healthcare, faster transport and less pollution."
Futurist and former Google engineer Ray Kurzweil says that people will have integrated with machines by 2025 and predicts that by 2045, people will have connected their brains to machines, integrating with the intelligence created.　18． 　
　19． 　 That means we could be in contact with aliens. Shostak said that newer measurements suggest that there could be billions of Earth-like worlds. That may be the strongest argument for life in space.
Rising humidity (湿度) and heat will lead to heatwaves where it is almost impossible for humans to survive in areas including South Asia and the Red Sea.　20． 　 Humans can survive temperatures of up to 50 ℃ when humidity is low, but in high humidity, humans cannot survive because there is no way to cool down by sweating. Even extremely strong and fit people die within hours. Large areas of the Earth might be uninhabitable.
A. The alternative is a bright AI prospect.
B. However, the reality could be far worse.
C. Actually, AI brings far more benefits than harm.
D. This means that the Earth is the only place with life.
E. By 2070, this will also be true in areas of Brazil and China.
F. Thus, people will increase their effective intelligence a billion-fold.
G. Alien-hunting astronomer Shostak bets we should find aliens within two dozen years.

47．（2025高二下·鄞州期中）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。
The Popsicle Kids
A nearly empty box of Popsicles (棒冰) in the freezer, left from a grandchild's visit, caught my attention. Initially, I wanted to throw it away, but my wife suggested we give the remaining Popsicles to the neighborhood children. Her suggestion changed our life and led us to a future full of "Popsicle Kids." My wife and I, retired on Social Security, live in an apartment complex. After careers in sales and nursing, our daily concerns revolved around aches, pains, and dinner. We often wondered what good we were to the world.
That changed dramatically after we gave away the first Popsicle.
Minutes after watching a neighbor boy, a second grader, walk away with an icy treat, our doorbell rang. An adorable blond girl, about six, smiled sweetly, "Is it true you're giving away Popsicles "
With the box empty, we returned to our concerns.
Early the next morning, the doorbell rang repeatedly. Standing on our porch were the four children from the previous day. They vocalized their wants, chanting (有节奏地喊), "We want Popsicles! We want Popsicles!"
Looking into their eager young faces, I wondered, "What have I started " Sensing a victory, they nodded eagerly when I explained the rules: ring the bell once, one Popsicle per day, and share something good about their day. But their thin shoulders bent downwards in disappointment when I mentioned they had to give something in return. I came to the rescue, suggesting they share something positive about their day, like what they learned at school or helping another student. Over time, new rules were added: "Ladies first," "Don't interrupt," and "Properly get rid of the sticks."
On holidays, they expressed their understanding of why the day was celebrated. Over the years, about fifty youngsters visited. Some became part of my life, like the four kids who joined me on the steps one spring to read "Where the Red Fern Grows." We discussed catching crawfish, loving pets, and family relationships. This simple act of sharing Popsicles transformed our life, bringing joy and meaning to both the children and ourselves.

15．推理判断题。根据第二段"Over 500 million people visit American public lands each year, creating many chances to harm wild places. ‘When you look at the numbers, it's incredible,' says Watts, head of the Leave No Trace Center in Colorado, an organization aimed at minimizing human impact on nature."每年有超过5亿人参观美国的公共土地，这造成了许多破坏野生环境的机会。"当你看到这些数字时，真是令人难以置信，"科罗拉多州"不留痕迹"中心的负责人Watts说，该组织旨在将人类对自然的影响降到最低)"结合全文内容。可知，本文讲述了人类活动对自然环境造成的破坏，尤其是食物残渣和生物垃圾对洞穴生态系统和国家公园的影响，以及强调了保护自然环境、不留痕迹的重要性。可推断本文传达的是我们应该在野外不留下痕迹。故选B。

46．【答案】Dear Amanda,
I hope this email finds you well. I think using AI technology to assist in correcting English compositions is a brilliant idea. It can significantly save your time and offer prompt feedback to us students. This enables us to get a clear understanding of our mistakes and make improvements in a timely manner.
However, I also have a couple of suggestions. Firstly, while AI can provide objective evaluations, I still hope you can give some manual comments from time to time. Secondly, it would be extremely helpful if you could explain how the AI works and its limitations.
Best regards!

47．【答案】Paragraph1:
One night, another boy appeared at the door, saying "I don't want a Popsicle; I just need to talk". Surprised but concerned, I invited him in and offered a seat. He sat on the couch, looking down at his shoes, his face filled with anxiety. Slowly, he opened up about the argument he had with his best friend at school that day. I listened attentively, nodding occasionally to show I was there for him. After he poured out his feelings, I shared some stories of my own childhood conflicts and how I resolved them. By the end of our talk, his frown had turned into a faint smile. Before leaving, he thanked me earnestly, and I realized that our little Popsicle tradition had become a safe haven for these kids.
Paragraph 2：
I've sensed it's more than Popsicles that bring these kids to our door. Beyond the sweet treats, it's the sense of trust and understanding we've built. We've become their confidants, their listening ears. For us, these interactions have filled our retired life with purpose and warmth. We've witnessed their growth, their joys, and their sorrows. Each time the doorbell rings, it's not just the anticipation of sharing a Popsicle but an opportunity to connect, to offer comfort, and to be a part of these young lives. In return, they've given us a new perspective on life and a deeper appreciation for the simple yet profound power of human connection.

【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知，本文讲述了一对靠社保退休的夫妻，原本生活单调，对自身价值感到迷茫。一次偶然将孙子留下的剩余棒冰分给邻居孩子的举动，开启了"棒冰孩子"的故事。孩子们因棒冰而来，夫妻为此制定分享规则，随着时间推移，分享棒冰的过程逐渐成为孩子们交流生活趣事、表达想法的契机，也让夫妻见证了孩子们的成长。在这一过程中，分享棒冰不仅给孩子们带来快乐，也赋予了这对退休夫妻生活新的意义。段落续写：①由第一段首句内容"一天晚上，另一个男孩出现在门口，说："我不想要冰棍，我只是想聊聊天。""可知，第一段可描写小男孩告诉作者自己在学校发生的事，作者分享自己的故事——安慰小男孩的过程。②由第二段首句内容"我已经意识到，把这些孩子吸引到我们家门口的不只是冰棍。"可知，第二段可描写作者经过这件事的感悟。写作时注意准确运用时态，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系，尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。
