I was born in 2010 in the countryside, which may be why I always felt a little out of step with the times. Throughout my childhood, I had never seen tall buildings or had a smartphone. The old computer we had at home was my only window to the online world, which I began exploring at the age of 8. My parents were busy during the day, so surfing the internet was a big deal for me. I always turned off the computer before they got home to let it cool down and hide what I had been doing all day.
I feel like the online vibe was much more inclusive back then. I still remember the friendly debates about the various adaptations of Legends of the Condor Heroes. Everyone would share their thoughts and reasons. Just the other day, I saw a similar question on Xiaohongshu, but the discussion quickly turned into heated arguments. Back then, sharing resources for online novels or gaming strategies was common, but now, such requests can easily trigger online debates.
My parents loved playing Stephen Chow movies at home, which turned me into a belated fan of these classic 1990s Hong Kong comedies. At the core of his humor lies tragedy, yet his films also taught me simple values: be brave, be resilient, stay optimistic, and never give up on your dreams. To me, Stephen Chow feels like an old friend I’ve known for years — a forever-young legend. I wish I had been born earlier, in that golden era.
I’d describe myself as a severe nostalgia (怀旧) addict, especially when it comes to 90s architecture. Just looking at images of those buildings or walking near them brings me a sense of comfort. Though they’ve become relics of the past, nothing is truly forgotten.
24. What can be inferred about the author’s childhood from the first paragraph
A. He had no idea about the online world. B. His life kept pace with the times.
C. His parents were too busy to look after him. D. He had limited access to the internet.
25. What does the author mean by saying “the online vibe was much more inclusive back then”
A. More people were willing to share. B. It is easier to reach an agreement.
C. Different viewpoints could be respected. D. There were more online platforms.
26. What does the author think of Stephen Chow’s films
A. They only appeal to young people. B. They are tragedies with subtle humor.
C. They are difficult to understand today. D. They combine humor with deep meaning.
27. Which of the following best describes the author’s overall tone in the passage
A. Hopeful. B. Emotional. C. Humorous. D. Critical.
C
When you’re learning a new language, there are a lot of things to remember: spelling rules, grammar rules, punctuation rules… the list is endless. But there’s something that can help you: mnemonics [pronounced “nemonics”].
Mnemonics are techniques to help you remember things. There are a variety of them, including rhymes, spelling acronyms and sentence mnemonics.
Rhymes are a great way to remember things. The sounds, unusual words and rhythm of them help you recall ideas. Do you know when Columbus sailed to America There’s a rhyme to help you which goes like this, “In fourteen-hundred and ninety-two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.” Most people who’ve heard that never forget it!
Spelling acronyms involve creating a sentence based on the letters of a target word. For example, the following sentence can help you with the spelling of the word “because”, “Big elephants can always understand small elephants”. Notice how the first letter of each word in the sentence spells out the word “because”. And if you can’t remember the spelling of the word “mnemonics”, use this one “Mike never eats meat or nuts in case he’s sick”!
Sentence mnemonics are also useful. The following can help you with the difference between the words “principal” and “principle”, “A principal is your pal at school, and a principle is a belief or rule.” Or this one to help you remember the difference in spelling between “deserts” (such as the Sahara) and “desserts” (such as Tiramisu), “A dessert has two sugars so it’s sweeter, but a desert only has one.” [The two “sugars” mentioned in the sentence refer to the two s’s in the word “dessert”.]
You can learn grammar rules with sentence mnemonics too. For example, this one can help you with the position of adjectives, “Adjectives come before nouns just as ‘A’ comes before ‘N’.” And this one can help you learn about the use of apostrophes (撇号), “Apostrophes show possession.”
Mnemonics can help a lot with language learning. Why not try inventing a few of your own!
28. What are mnemonics in the passage
A. Professional tool books. B. Specific language model.
C. Language learning strategies. D. Different language rules.
29. Why is the rhyme about Columbus mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To compare rhymes with other techniques.
B To show how rhymes make facts memorable.
C. To prove that Columbus was a great explorer.
D. To explain the importance of historical events.
30. Which of the following is an example of a sentence mnemonic
A. “In 1066, the Normans did fix” rhymes the year of the Norman Conquest.
B. “George’s elderly old grandfather rode a pig home yesterday” helps spell “geography”.
C. “My very educated mother just served us noodles” helps remember the order of planets.
D. “A stationery store sells paper, while a stationary car doesn’t move” differentiates words.
31. Which of the following would the author probably agree with about inventing mnemonics
A. It requires special training. B. It does not take much time or effort.
C. It is something readers can try themselves. D. Language teachers should use it in class.
D
Woodpeckers (啄木鸟) operate at an extreme level, boring through solid wood with forces more than 30 times their own weight and drilling up to 13 times a second. How do they never miss a beat while head banging so hard
It turns out that the birds tense up their entire body to smash through wood, letting out short, explosive grunts with each strike, report Brown University biologist Nicholas Antonson and his colleagues in the Journal of Experimental Biology. “Woodpeckers really are nature’s hammer in a sense,” Antonson says.
To study how the birds tap, the researchers first humanely captured eight wild Downy Woodpeckers and carefully inserted electrodes into their muscles in the laboratory. The electrodes fed into a tiny, fitted backpack that recorded electrical signals from contracting muscles as the birds pecked. They also checked whether the woodpeckers held their breath during exertion (用力) (like weight lifters tend to do) or exhaled (呼气) (like tennis players) while striking the wood by examining airflow through the birds’ air sacs — small, balloon-like structures that help them breathe in and out. By matching these measurements with high-speed videos, the scientists tracked the woodpeckers’ taps down to every four milliseconds.
Instead of using a single muscle to control the action, woodpeckers activated “every muscle from the head to the tail,” Antonson says. The birds used their powerful hip flexors to push forward, clenched their tail and abs (腹肌) to prepare for the strike, and stiffened the back of their head and neck on contact — similar to the way you might stiffen the back of your wrist when you hammer a nail. They then engaged a different set of hip and neck muscles to draw back.
The birds also perfectly paired their pecks with sharp exhalations “as another means of stabilizing their core muscles and powering through those strikes,” Antonson explains. “To be able to breathe out 13 times per second and inhale on the order of 40 milliseconds is really impressive.” Songbirds, which aren’t closely related to woodpeckers, are the only other birds known to so precisely time their breaths, which they do as they sing.
“Pecking is a full-body exercise,” says University of Alabama biologist Nicole Ackermans, who studies brain damage in woodpeckers and head-butting sheep. Coordinating “micro breaths” with muscle clenching and creating “this hammerlike structure in their whole body is such a unique approach,” she adds.
32. What does the question in the first paragraph mean
A. How do woodpeckers avoid injury while pecking
B. Why do woodpeckers peck faster than other birds
C. What makes woodpeckers stronger than other animals
D. How much weight can woodpeckers carry while pecking
33. Why did the researchers insert electrodes into the woodpeckers’ muscles
A. To test their reaction to electrical signals. B. To record muscle activity during pecking.
C. To measure their heart rate while pecking. D. To examine the structure of their muscles.
34. What does the underlined word “clenched” in paragraph 4 most likely mean
A. Tightened. B. Relaxed. C. Stretched. D. Lifted.
35. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage
A. Woodpeckers: Smart Tool Users
B. Woodpeckers: Nature’s Hammers
C. Woodpeckers: Amazing Strength
D. Woodpeckers: Powerful Muscle Controller

It was a bitterly cold, snow-choked Christmas Eve when Yvonne White got a call from an unknown number. A strange, calm voice on the other end of the line said, “Hi. You don’t know me, but I have your brother.” It was Aughtry, a woman who would soon become the lifeline for Yvonne’s brother, Joey — a gentle, mentally disabled man with a deep love for baseball and a lifelong routine as a cinema caretaker.
Days earlier, as the worst winter storm in decades bore down, Yvonne had repeatedly warned Joey not to leave his group home. He’d promised to stay put, but the familiar pull of his routine proved too strong. He wandered out into the rapidly worsening white-out, heading toward the cinema where he’d worked for over twenty years, only to get lost within blocks. Hours later, he collapsed exhausted in a snowbank, his cries of pain cutting through the howling wind.
Aughtry, a mother of three, heard his screams from inside her home. Without hesitation, she and her son braved the blinding storm, following the sound until they found Joey, half-frozen and barely conscious, his hands already swollen with severe frostbite. They carried him inside, carefully peeled off his ice-caked clothes, and spent hours warming him with a hair dryer and blankets, his body still trembling violently. Joey, in his delirium (精神错乱), was surprisingly able to recite Yvonne’s phone number from memory. When Aughtry finally reached her, Yvonne could only listen in terror, trapped indoors by the impassable snow and ice outside.
For the following two days, Aughtry and her family provided continuous care for Joey, but it was just getting worse and worse. They made several urgent calls to emergency services, describing the severity of his condition. Each time, they were told that all major roads were blocked, covered by a thick layer of ice, making it impossible for emergency vehicles to navigate the area. Assistance was nowhere to be found.
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Paragraph1: Desperate, Aughtry turned to social media for help.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph2: When Yvonne finally reached the hospital, she found Joey chatting with Aughtry.

原文】M: Hello everyone, and welcome to the school’s weekly news broadcast. I’m your host, Li Ming. Today, we have a positive local story. Last Saturday, our city library started a new program called “The Book Buddy Shelf.” Here’s how it works: anyone can buy an extra book when they shop, and then donate it to this special shelf at the library. People who cannot afford to buy books, especially children, can then take these books home for free, no library card needed. The program was a huge success in its first week. The library manager, Ms. Chen, said they received over 200 books. “We are very thankful for everyone’s kindness. We’ve got storybooks, science books, and even some cookbooks! It’s wonderful to see the community sharing the joy of reading.”
We interviewed a young girl named Xiao Mei at the library. She was holding a new picture book. She said with a big smile, “My mom said we can’t buy new books this month. But I found this one here! I’m so happy.”
The “Book Buddy Shelf” is located near the library’s main entrance. The library hopes this program will continue to grow. They remind everyone that the books should be new or in very good condition.
That’s the end of today’s news. Remember, a small act of kindness can make a big difference.

B
I was born in 2010 in the countryside, which may be why I always felt a little out of step with the times. Throughout my childhood, I had never seen tall buildings or had a smartphone. The old computer we had at home was my only window to the online world, which I began exploring at the age of 8. My parents were busy during the day, so surfing the internet was a big deal for me. I always turned off the computer before they got home to let it cool down and hide what I had been doing all day.
I feel like the online vibe was much more inclusive back then. I still remember the friendly debates about the various adaptations of Legends of the Condor Heroes. Everyone would share their thoughts and reasons. Just the other day, I saw a similar question on Xiaohongshu, but the discussion quickly turned into heated arguments. Back then, sharing resources for online novels or gaming strategies was common, but now, such requests can easily trigger online debates.
My parents loved playing Stephen Chow movies at home, which turned me into a belated fan of these classic 1990s Hong Kong comedies. At the core of his humor lies tragedy, yet his films also taught me simple values: be brave, be resilient, stay optimistic, and never give up on your dreams. To me, Stephen Chow feels like an old friend I’ve known for years — a forever-young legend. I wish I had been born earlier, in that golden era.
I’d describe myself as a severe nostalgia (怀旧) addict, especially when it comes to 90s architecture. Just looking at images of those buildings or walking near them brings me a sense of comfort. Though they’ve become relics of the past, nothing is truly forgotten.
24. What can be inferred about the author’s childhood from the first paragraph
A. He had no idea about the online world. B. His life kept pace with the times.
C. His parents were too busy to look after him. D. He had limited access to the internet.
25. What does the author mean by saying “the online vibe was much more inclusive back then”
A. More people were willing to share. B. It is easier to reach an agreement.
C. Different viewpoints could be respected. D. There were more online platforms.
26. What does the author think of Stephen Chow’s films
A. They only appeal to young people. B. They are tragedies with subtle humor.
C. They are difficult to understand today. D. They combine humor with deep meaning.
27. Which of the following best describes the author’s overall tone in the passage
A. Hopeful. B. Emotional. C. Humorous. D. Critical.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者的童年经历，表达对过去网络氛围、经典影片和90年代建筑的怀念之情。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Throughout my childhood, I had never seen tall buildings or had a smartphone. The old computer we had at home was my only window to the online world, which I began exploring at the age of 8. My parents were busy during the day, so surfing the internet was a big deal for me. I always turned off the computer before they got home to let it cool down and hide what I had been doing all day.(在我的整个童年时期，我从未见过高楼大厦，也没有智能手机。家里那台旧电脑是我通往网络世界的唯一窗口，我从8岁开始探索网络。父母白天很忙，所以上网对我来说是件大事。我总是在他们回家前关掉电脑，让它冷却下来，掩盖我一整天都在做的事情)”可知，作者童年接触网络的途径十分有限。故选D项。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“I still remember the friendly debates about the various adaptations of Legends of the Condor Heroes. Everyone would share their thoughts and reasons. Just the other day, I saw a similar question on Xiaohongshu, but the discussion quickly turned into heated arguments.(我还记得关于《射雕英雄传》各改编版本的友好讨论。每个人都会分享自己的想法和理由。就在前几天，我在小红书上看到一个类似的问题，但讨论很快变成了激烈的争吵)” 可知，过去网络讨论是友好的，人们可以表达不同观点并互相尊重，而现在容易变成激烈争吵，由此可推测划线部分的句意为“不同的观点能够得到尊重”。故选C项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“At the core of his humor lies tragedy, yet his films also taught me simple values: be brave, be resilient, stay optimistic, and never give up on your dreams.(他的幽默核心是悲剧，然而他的电影也教会了我简单的价值观：勇敢、坚韧、保持乐观，永不放弃梦想)”可知，作者认为周星驰的电影将幽默与深刻内涵相结合。故选D项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“I’d describe myself as a severe nostalgia (怀旧) addict, especially when it comes to 90s architecture. Just looking at images of those buildings or walking near them brings me a sense of comfort.(我会形容自己是一个重度怀旧者，尤其是在90年代的建筑方面。仅仅是看着这些建筑的照片或者在它们附近行走，就会给我带来一种慰藉感)”以及全文多处抒发怀念、感慨的语句可知，作者整体语气充满情感。故选B项。
C
When you’re learning a new language, there are a lot of things to remember: spelling rules, grammar rules, punctuation rules… the list is endless. But there’s something that can help you: mnemonics [pronounced “nemonics”].
Mnemonics are techniques to help you remember things. There are a variety of them, including rhymes, spelling acronyms and sentence mnemonics.
Rhymes are a great way to remember things. The sounds, unusual words and rhythm of them help you recall ideas. Do you know when Columbus sailed to America There’s a rhyme to help you which goes like this, “In fourteen-hundred and ninety-two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.” Most people who’ve heard that never forget it!
Spelling acronyms involve creating a sentence based on the letters of a target word. For example, the following sentence can help you with the spelling of the word “because”, “Big elephants can always understand small elephants”. Notice how the first letter of each word in the sentence spells out the word “because”. And if you can’t remember the spelling of the word “mnemonics”, use this one “Mike never eats meat or nuts in case he’s sick”!
Sentence mnemonics are also useful. The following can help you with the difference between the words “principal” and “principle”, “A principal is your pal at school, and a principle is a belief or rule.” Or this one to help you remember the difference in spelling between “deserts” (such as the Sahara) and “desserts” (such as Tiramisu), “A dessert has two sugars so it’s sweeter, but a desert only has one.” [The two “sugars” mentioned in the sentence refer to the two s’s in the word “dessert”.]
You can learn grammar rules with sentence mnemonics too. For example, this one can help you with the position of adjectives, “Adjectives come before nouns just as ‘A’ comes before ‘N’.” And this one can help you learn about the use of apostrophes (撇号), “Apostrophes show possession.”
Mnemonics can help a lot with language learning. Why not try inventing a few of your own!
28. What are mnemonics in the passage
A. Professional tool books. B. Specific language model.
C. Language learning strategies. D. Different language rules.
29. Why is the rhyme about Columbus mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To compare rhymes with other techniques.
B. To show how rhymes make facts memorable.
C. To prove that Columbus was a great explorer.
D. To explain the importance of historical events.
30. Which of the following is an example of a sentence mnemonic
A. “In 1066, the Normans did fix” rhymes the year of the Norman Conquest.
B. “George’s elderly old grandfather rode a pig home yesterday” helps spell “geography”.
C. “My very educated mother just served us noodles” helps remember the order of planets.
D. “A stationery store sells paper, while a stationary car doesn’t move” differentiates words.
31. Which of the following would the author probably agree with about inventing mnemonics
A. It requires special training. B. It does not take much time or effort.
C. It is something readers can try themselves. D. Language teachers should use it in class.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了在学习新语言时，助记法（mnemonics）这种有助于记忆的技巧。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Mnemonics are techniques to help you remember things.(助记法是帮助你记忆事物的技巧)”以及全文围绕助记法在语言学习中的应用可知，助记法是语言学习策略。故选C项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据据第三段“Rhymes are a great way to remember things. The sounds, unusual words and rhythm of them help you recall ideas. Do you know when Columbus sailed to America There’s a rhyme to help you which goes like this, “In fourteen-hundred and ninety-two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.” Most people who’ve heard that never forget it!(押韵法是记住事情的好方法。它们的发音、不寻常的词汇和节奏能帮助你回忆起信息。你知道哥伦布什么时候航行到美洲吗？有一首押韵的口诀可以帮助你，“在1492年，哥伦布扬帆蓝色海洋”大多数听过这个口诀的人都不会忘记！)”可知，提到关于哥伦布的押韵口诀是为了展示押韵法如何使事实易于记忆。故选B项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Sentence mnemonics are also useful. The following can help you with the difference between the words “principal” and “principle”, “A principal is your pal at school, and a principle is a belief or rule.” Or this one to help you remember the difference in spelling between “deserts” (such as the Sahara) and “desserts” (such as Tiramisu), “A dessert has two sugars so it’s sweeter, but a desert only has one.” [The two “sugars” mentioned in the sentence refer to the two s’s in the word “dessert”.](句子助记法也很有用。下面这个句子可以帮助你区分“principal”和“principle”这两个词，“校长（principal）是你在学校的好朋友（pal），而原则（principle）是一种信念或规则”或者这个句子可以帮助你记住“deserts”（如撒哈拉沙漠）和“desserts”（如提拉米苏）在拼写上的区别，“甜点（dessert）有两个‘糖’（sugar，这里指单词里的两个s）所以更甜，而沙漠（desert）只有一个”）”可知，句子助记法用于区分单词。D选项“A stationery store sells paper, while a stationary car doesn’t move” differentiates words.（“文具店（stationery store）卖纸，而静止的（stationary）汽车不动”区分单词。）符合句子助记法特点，是句子助记法的例子。故选D项。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Mnemonics can help a lot with language learning. Why not try inventing a few of your own! (助记法对语言学习有很大帮助。为什么不试着自己发明一些呢！)”可知，作者认为读者可以自己尝试发明助记法。故选C项。
D
Woodpeckers (啄木鸟) operate at an extreme level, boring through solid wood with forces more than 30 times their own weight and drilling up to 13 times a second. How do they never miss a beat while head banging so hard
It turns out that the birds tense up their entire body to smash through wood, letting out short, explosive grunts with each strike, report Brown University biologist Nicholas Antonson and his colleagues in the Journal of Experimental Biology. “Woodpeckers really are nature’s hammer in a sense,” Antonson says.
To study how the birds tap, the researchers first humanely captured eight wild Downy Woodpeckers and carefully inserted electrodes into their muscles in the laboratory. The electrodes fed into a tiny, fitted backpack that recorded electrical signals from contracting muscles as the birds pecked. They also checked whether the woodpeckers held their breath during exertion (用力) (like weight lifters tend to do) or exhaled (呼气) (like tennis players) while striking the wood by examining airflow through the birds’ air sacs — small, balloon-like structures that help them breathe in and out. By matching these measurements with high-speed videos, the scientists tracked the woodpeckers’ taps down to every four milliseconds.
Instead of using a single muscle to control the action, woodpeckers activated “every muscle from the head to the tail,” Antonson says. The birds used their powerful hip flexors to push forward, clenched their tail and abs (腹肌) to prepare for the strike, and stiffened the back of their head and neck on contact — similar to the way you might stiffen the back of your wrist when you hammer a nail. They then engaged a different set of hip and neck muscles to draw back.
The birds also perfectly paired their pecks with sharp exhalations “as another means of stabilizing their core muscles and powering through those strikes,” Antonson explains. “To be able to breathe out 13 times per second and inhale on the order of 40 milliseconds is really impressive.” Songbirds, which aren’t closely related to woodpeckers, are the only other birds known to so precisely time their breaths, which they do as they sing.
“Pecking is a full-body exercise,” says University of Alabama biologist Nicole Ackermans, who studies brain damage in woodpeckers and head-butting sheep. Coordinating “micro breaths” with muscle clenching and creating “this hammerlike structure in their whole body is such a unique approach,” she adds.
32. What does the question in the first paragraph mean
A. How do woodpeckers avoid injury while pecking
B. Why do woodpeckers peck faster than other birds
C. What makes woodpeckers stronger than other animals
D. How much weight can woodpeckers carry while pecking
33. Why did the researchers insert electrodes into the woodpeckers’ muscles
A. To test their reaction to electrical signals. B. To record muscle activity during pecking.
C. To measure their heart rate while pecking. D. To examine the structure of their muscles.
34. What does the underlined word “clenched” in paragraph 4 most likely mean
A. Tightened. B. Relaxed. C. Stretched. D. Lifted.
35. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage
A. Woodpeckers: Smart Tool Users
B. Woodpeckers: Nature’s Hammers
C. Woodpeckers: Amazing Strength
D. Woodpeckers: Powerful Muscle Controller
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了啄木鸟在以高强度啄击树木时如何避免受伤的问题。研究人员通过在啄木鸟肌肉中插入电极记录其肌肉活动，并结合对气流的检查以及高速视频，发现啄木鸟通过全身肌肉协同运动和精准配合呼吸来实现高效啄击，就如同自然界的锤子一般。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Woodpeckers (啄木鸟) operate at an extreme level, boring through solid wood with forces more than 30 times their own weight and drilling up to 13 times a second. How do they never miss a beat while head banging so hard (啄木鸟的啄木行为处于一种极端状态，它们以超过自身重量30倍的力量钻透坚硬的木头，每秒啄木可达13次。在如此用力地撞击头部时，它们是如何做到毫无损伤的呢？)”可知，第一段的问题意思是啄木鸟在啄树时如何避免受伤，故选A项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“To study how the birds tap, the researchers first humanely captured eight wild Downy Woodpeckers and carefully inserted electrodes into their muscles in the laboratory. The electrodes fed into a tiny, fitted backpack that recorded electrical signals from contracting muscles as the birds pecked.(为了研究啄木鸟如何啄木，研究人员首先人道地捕获了八只野生绒啄木鸟，并在实验室里小心地将电极插入它们的肌肉。这些电极连接到一个小巧合适的背包，这个背包记录啄木鸟啄树时收缩肌肉发出的电信号)”可知，研究人员将电极插入啄木鸟肌肉是为了记录它们啄树时的肌肉活动，故选B项。
【34题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段“The birds used their powerful hip flexors to push forward, clenched their tail and abs (腹肌) to prepare for the strike, and stiffened the back of their head and neck on contact — similar to the way you might stiffen the back of your wrist when you hammer a nail.(这些鸟用它们有力的髋屈肌向前推动，____尾巴和腹肌为撞击做准备，在接触时使头后部和颈部变硬——就像你钉钉子时可能会使手腕后部变硬一样)”以及及类比钉钉子时手腕后部变硬，可推测“clenched”意思与“Tightened（收紧）”相近，故选A项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。主要探讨了啄木鸟在以高强度啄击树木时如何避免受伤的问题。研究人员通过在啄木鸟肌肉中插入电极记录其肌肉活动，并结合对气流的检查以及高速视频，发现啄木鸟通过全身肌肉协同运动和精准配合呼吸来实现高效啄击，就如同自然界的锤子一般。“Woodpeckers: Nature’s Hammers (啄木鸟：自然界的锤子)”能很好地概括全文主旨，故选B项。

My Views on Fragmented Reading
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Version 1
My Views on Fragmented Reading
Nowadays, fragmented reading — scrolling through short videos or browsing brief articles — has become increasingly popular. In my opinion, this trend has both advantages and disadvantages.
On the positive side, fragmented reading saves time and allows us to acquire information quickly. With just a smartphone, we can access diverse knowledge anytime, anywhere. However, the drawbacks are equally obvious. Constant exposure to short, scattered content weakens our ability to focus and think deeply.
Personally, I believe fragmented reading should serve as a supplement, not a substitute, for traditional in-depth reading. While it satisfies our need for quick information, we should also reserve time for reading books that require sustained attention and reflection.
Version 2
My Views on Fragmented Reading
Fragmented reading, characterized by scrolling through short videos and brief articles, dominates our daily lives. From my perspective, though convenient, this reading style does more harm than good.
Admittedly, fragmented reading offers efficiency. We can grasp news highlights or learn practical tips within minutes. Yet the problems cannot be ignored. Firstly, it fragments our attention span, making it increasingly difficult to concentrate on longer texts. Secondly, the information obtained is often shallow and disconnected, failing to build a systematic knowledge structure.
Therefore, my attitude is clear: while we may occasionally benefit from fragmented reading for quick updates, we should prioritize deep reading of complete works. Only by immersing ourselves in books can we truly develop critical thinking and gain profound insights. Let’s not sacrifice depth for speed.

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。
It was a bitterly cold, snow-choked Christmas Eve when Yvonne White got a call from an unknown number. A strange, calm voice on the other end of the line said, “Hi. You don’t know me, but I have your brother.” It was Aughtry, a woman who would soon become the lifeline for Yvonne’s brother, Joey — a gentle, mentally disabled man with a deep love for baseball and a lifelong routine as a cinema caretaker.
Days earlier, as the worst winter storm in decades bore down, Yvonne had repeatedly warned Joey not to leave his group home. He’d promised to stay put, but the familiar pull of his routine proved too strong. He wandered out into the rapidly worsening white-out, heading toward the cinema where he’d worked for over twenty years, only to get lost within blocks. Hours later, he collapsed exhausted in a snowbank, his cries of pain cutting through the howling wind.
Aughtry, a mother of three, heard his screams from inside her home. Without hesitation, she and her son braved the blinding storm, following the sound until they found Joey, half-frozen and barely conscious, his hands already swollen with severe frostbite. They carried him inside, carefully peeled off his ice-caked clothes, and spent hours warming him with a hair dryer and blankets, his body still trembling violently. Joey, in his delirium (精神错乱), was surprisingly able to recite Yvonne’s phone number from memory. When Aughtry finally reached her, Yvonne could only listen in terror, trapped indoors by the impassable snow and ice outside.
For the following two days, Aughtry and her family provided continuous care for Joey, but it was just getting worse and worse. They made several urgent calls to emergency services, describing the severity of his condition. Each time, they were told that all major roads were blocked, covered by a thick layer of ice, making it impossible for emergency vehicles to navigate the area. Assistance was nowhere to be found.
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Paragraph1: Desperate, Aughtry turned to social media for help.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph2: When Yvonne finally reached the hospital, she found Joey chatting with Aughtry.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Desperate, Aughtry turned to social media for help. She posted a live video online, detailing Joey’s dangerous condition and her exact address, adding that she had exhausted all options for getting medical help. “I’m asking for help from whoever,” she continued, “This man needs serious help.” Before long, the message spread rapidly among nearby neighbors, who were deeply concerned and rushed to help without hesitation. Some showed up to plow around Aughtry’s home. Others with private vehicles volunteered to brave the fierce snowstorm. With great care and patience, the warm-hearted neighbors gently lifted him into the car and headed slowly but steadily toward the nearest hospital, fighting against the strong wind and heavy snow.
When Yvonne finally reached the hospital, she found Joey chatting with Aughtry. Yvonne was overwhelmed with relief and appreciation that her big brother was safe and sound. Without a word, she embraced Aughtry tightly. The woman returned the hug firmly, her hands gentle but steady. Yvonne’s voice was thick with emotion as she repeated her thanks. Aughtry smiled softly, saying it was the joint effort of the whole neighborhood. It was far from the holiday she had hoped for, but amid the suffering and misfortune, Yvonne found a silver lining. On that freezing Christmas Eve, the stranger opened up her home and her heart, creating the warmest miracle with a collective effort.
【解析】
【导语】本文以事件发展为线索展开，讲述了在大雪纷飞的平安夜，Yvonne接到陌生女子Aughtry的电话，得知患有智力障碍的弟弟Joey因执意前往工作多年的电影院而在暴雪中迷路遇险。Aughtry一家发现并救助了Joey，却因暴雪封路急救车辆无法赶来。随后Aughtry通过社交媒体求助，邻里合力将Joey送往医院，最终Yvonne赶到医院，对伸出援手的陌生人满怀感激的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“绝望之下，奥特里求助于社交媒体。”可知，第一段可描写奥特里发布求助信息，附近邻居看到后纷纷伸出援手，合力将乔伊送往医院的经过。
②由第二段首句内容“当伊冯娜终于赶到医院时，她发现乔伊正在和奥特里聊天。”可知，第二段可描写伊冯娜的感激之情，以及这次经历让她在寒冬中感受到温暖与善意。
2.续写线索：社交媒体求助——信息传播——邻居相助——送医——抵达医院——感激——感悟善意
3.词汇激活
行为类
①求助：ask for help/seek help/appeal for assistance
②前往：head toward/make one’s way to/go to
③拥抱：embrace/hug/hold in one’s arms
情绪类
①担忧：concerned/worried
②感激：appreciation/gratitude/be thankful

[高分句型2] Before long, the message spread rapidly among nearby neighbors, who were deeply concerned and rushed to help without hesitation.（运用了关系代词who引导非限制性定语从句）
