应用文范文
Music and My Life
Music plays an important role in my life. It is like a friend who is always there for me
When I feel happy, I listen to pop music and dance along. When I am sad or stressed, soft piano
music helps me relax and forget my worries. Before exams, I often listen to light music while reviewing
my lessons. It makes me feel calm and focused. Music also helps me make friends. I joined the school
music club last year and met many people who share the same interest. We often discuss our favorite
songs and singers.
In short, music brings color to my life and makes every day better. I can't imagine a world without it.
续写范文
“Let’s go to check on the plant,” Mrs. Thompson said to me a week later. With a heart full of
anticipation, I followed her to the garden. When we reached the spot where we’d planted the seedling, I
was amazed. The once-tiny plant had grown significantly. Its leaves were greener and more robust, and it
stood taller, reaching towards the sky. Mrs. Thompson looked at me and smiled, “You see, just like this
seedling, growth doesn’t always happen at a speed we can immediately spot. Your efforts in studying are
like the care you gave this plant. They’re working, even if you can’t see the results right away.”
One day, as I bent down to water it, a tiny yellow flower caught my eye. A sense of joy and
accomplishment washed over me. That little flower was a symbol of hope and proof that my care had paid
off. It made me realize that just as the seedling needed time and consistent care to bloom, so did I in my
studies. I no longer felt as lost or hopeless. From then on, I faced my study challenges with new-found
confidence, knowing that with perseverance, my efforts would surely contribute to beautiful “blooms” in
the future.

21. 细节理解题。根据“KEY FACTS”部分中“What: An international public speaking competition
bringing together students aged 16 to 20 from more than 40 countries around the world.(内容:一场国
际公共演讲比赛,汇聚了来自全球 40多个国家的 16至 20岁的学生。)” 以及 “IN BRIEF” 部
分中第一段 “The competition brings the best young speakers from all over the world to London for a
week of cultural exchange and public speaking contests.(比赛将来自世界各地的优秀年轻演讲者带
到伦敦,进行为期一周的文化交流和公共演讲比赛。)” 可知,这项比赛的目标群体是年轻人。
故选 B项。
22. 细节理解题。根据“IN BRIEF”部分中第二段“Finalists (national winners of the English-Speaking
Union’ s or other public speaking competitions in their country) must write and deliver a speech
connected with the theme for the year’s competition.(决赛选手(本国英语联盟或其他公共演讲比
赛的全国冠军)必须撰写并发表一篇与当年比赛主题相关的演讲。)”可知,决赛选手需要就给定
的主题发表演讲。故选 A项。
23. 主旨大意题。根据最后一部分 “WHAT TO EXPECT(期待什么)”“Prestigious international
competition is highly motivating for students and schools as a whole.(享有盛誉的国际比赛对学生和
整个学校来说都是极大的激励。)” “ Promoting confidence, critical thinking and cultural

B篇
这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了加拿大时装设计师卡米列里为四肢瘫痪者等行动不便者设计时尚舒
适的衣服,并开设精品店,改变了他们的生活,在主流时尚界也获得了认可。
24. 推理判断题。根据第二段“But when Turnbull — a well-known journalist and wheelchair user
since a terrible accident left her quadriplegic (四肢瘫痪者) in 1983 — approached her to design stylish,
comfortable clothes to fit her body through the seasons, Camilleri realized her real calling was to help
bring fashion to a completely under-served community. (但是,当特恩布尔——一位著名的记者,自
1983年一场可怕的事故导致她四肢瘫痪后一直使用轮椅——找到她,让她设计时尚、舒适的衣服,
以适应她一年四季的身体变化时,卡米列里意识到她真正的使命是帮助把时尚带给一个完全没有
得到充分服务的群体。)”可知,是特恩布尔让卡米列里意识到了四肢瘫痪者等行动不便者对服装
有特殊需求,并且这个市场是空白的,所以她决定为他们提供服务,开一家精品店。故选 D。
25. 词句猜测题。根据上文“Salah has spastic cerebral palsy (痉挛性脑瘫).(萨拉(Salah)患有痉挛性
脑瘫。 )”和下文“Salah says she carries herself differently now and she is more confident in her
appearance. Being able to have access to fashionable functional clothing gives her a lot of dignity.( 萨
拉表示,现在的她举止不同了,对自己的外表也更有自信。能够穿上既时尚又实用的衣服,让她
感受到了极大的尊严。”)”可知,之前服装店总是 Salah她感到畏惧,因为那里的衣服总是高高
挂起,遥不可及。由此可知,daunting意为“令人畏惧的,令人害怕的”。故选 C。
26. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Camilleri’s pieces are now part of an exhibit at the Royal Ontario
Museum, and her success in a new rare market has not gone unnoticed in the mainstream fashion world.
She is a truly brilliant technician. She puts fashion and confidence within reach of the disabled.(卡米列
里的作品现在是安大略皇家博物馆展览的一部分,她在新的稀有市场上的成功在主流时尚界也并
非没有被注意到。她是一位真正才华横溢的技术人员。她让残疾人也能够接触到时尚和自信。)”
可知,贝克尔想表达的是卡米列里在时尚界取得了成功,是一位成功的时尚创新者。故选 C。
27. 推理判断题。根据第二段“But when Turnbull — a well-known journalist and wheelchair user
since a terrible accident left her quadriplegic (四肢瘫痪者) in 1983 — approached her to design stylish,
comfortable clothes to fit her body through the seasons, Camilleri realized her real calling was to help
bring fashion to a completely under-served community. (但当特恩布尔 Turnbull)——一位自 1983年
一场可怕的事故导致她四肢瘫痪后便一直使用轮椅的知名记者——找到卡米莱里,希望她能为自
己设计一些既时尚又舒适、能适应四季变化的衣服时,卡米莱里意识到自己真正的使命是帮助这
个长期被忽视的群体接触时尚。)”以及“In 2004 Camilleri opened a boutique (精品店) specially for
people who use wheelchairs.( 2004年,卡米莱里开了一家精品店,专门为使用轮椅的人服务。)”
可知,她为四肢瘫痪者等行动不便者设计时尚舒适的衣服,并开设精品店,改变了他们的生活,
由此可知,她是一个有爱心的人;根据第二段“The world was my market because nobody had ever
done this before.(整个世界都是我的市场,因为从来没有人做过这件事。)”可知,她看到了这个市
场是空白的,所以她决定开一家精品店,这说明她是一个有远见的人。故选 B。
C篇
本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述心理意象(mental imagery)对现实表现的影响,介绍了“功能等同”
(functional equivalence)理论,指出大脑在想象动作时与实际执行动作会激活相同的神经回路,
强调有意运用想象力可提升自信和挑战准备效果。
28. 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Suppose you’re preparing for a tennis match. Your mind wanders,
envisioning every possible outcome.(假设你正在准备一场网球比赛,你的思绪游离,想象着每一种
可能的结果)”可知,作者通过设定一个具体情境(准备网球比赛时的心理活动)引入话题。故选
D。
29. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Your imagination shapes how you interpret the world around you and
is capable of causing the same physiological (生理的 ) and emotional responses that are caused by
external, real-life events. (你的想象力塑造了你对周围世界的理解,并能引起与外部现实生活事件
所引起的相同的生理和情感反应)”可知,心理意象与实际事件在“引起情绪反应”方面具有一致
性。故选 B。
30. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Another phenomenon highlighting the significance of the imagination
is called functional equivalence, which refers to the way the brain doesn’t always distinguish between
imagining an action and physically doing it.(另一个突出想象力重要性的现象称为功能等同,指大脑
并不总是能区分想象一个动作和实际执行它)”及“Other research with athletes using functional MRI
(磁共振成像) has shown that mental practice engages regions of the brain involved in controlling the
body and also activates areas linked to focus, motivation and emotional regulation. (其他对运动员使用
功能性磁共振成像的研究表明,心理练习会激活大脑中控制身体的区域,也会激活与专注、动机
和情绪调节相关的区域)”可推知,该理论适用于“想象某动作时大脑激活与实际执行相同神经回
路” 的场景。A选项“医生设想手术流程”符合“想象动作(envisioning the procedure)”且未实
际执行的情境,符合功能等同理论。故选 A。
31. 主旨大意题。文章开篇以准备网球比赛时的心理活动为例,引出想象力对实际表现有影响这
一话题,接着阐述“功能等同”现象,即大脑对想象动作和实际动作的反应相似以及最后一段“Many
studies like this have proved the connection between mental imagery and real-world performance.
Whether you’ re aiming to build confidence or prepare for a challenge, using your imagination with
more intention could make all the difference. (许多这样的研究已经证明了心理意象和现实世界表现
之间的联系。无论你是想要建立信心还是为挑战做准备,更有意图地运用你的想象力可能会产生
很大的不同)”都表明了心理意象对成功有推动作用。C选项“心理意象助推成功”最符合文章主
旨,是合适的标题。故选 C。
D篇
本文是一篇说明文。介绍了南极旅游和研究活动产生的黑碳污染对冰雪融化的影响。黑碳来自化
石燃料和生物质的燃烧,沉降在雪上会加速融雪。研究发现,旅游和研究设施附近的黑碳浓度更
高,尽管已有环保措施,但效果有限,仍需进一步努力。
32. 词义猜测题。第一段指出游客可能加剧冰雪融化,第二段首句说“The culprit is black carbon”,
接着解释黑碳使雪变暗、加速融化。可见黑碳是造成融雪的“罪魁祸首”或“主要原因”。选项
中 B 项 “Main cause” 最贴合语境。
33. 细节理解题。第二段说明黑碳来自化石燃料和生物质的燃烧;第三段指出南极的黑碳污染源
于旅游和研究活动;第七段列举了船舶、飞机、直升机等具体来源;第八段明确指出“tourist cruises
and fuel-powered equipment at scientific research stations are likely the largest sources”。因此 C 项
“旅游和研究中燃料的使用”正确。
34. 推理判断题。第五段给出具体数据(每年减少 23 毫米雪层、每位游客导致 83 吨雪融化),
随后指出“Although these figures are striking, the real impact could be more complex than what the
data suggest.”(尽管这些数字惊人,但实际影响可能比数据所暗示的更复杂。)结合上文研究设施
附近污染更严重,暗示人类活动的总体影响可能被低估。故选 A 项“人类活动的影响可能被低
估”符合推理。
35. 观点态度题。第八段提到尽管近年来南极旅游业努力减少环境足迹(如改用船用柴油或电池),
但旅游游轮和研究站的燃油设备仍是最大污染源。最后一段作者写道:“Our results show that more
remains to be done to reduce the impacts of tourism and ships in Antarctica.”(我们的结果表明,要减
少旅游和船只对南极的影响,还有更多工作要做。)这说明现有环保努力效果有限。D 项“它们
仍然显示出有限的效果”正确。
七选五
本文探讨青春期身体形象的形成及其影响因素。指出身体形象更多由主观想法而非现实决定,同
伴压力和媒体是两大影响因素。负面身体形象会导致不健康行为并降低生活满意度。最后给出建
立积极身体形象的建议:接受不完美,关注内在品质,从而建立自信。
36. 空格前一句解释了“body image”的定义(你如何看待、思考和感受自己的身体)。空格后举
例:你可能觉得自己的鼻子太大或太小,即使它看起来完全正常。这个例子说明主观想法与客观
现实之间的差异,正好印证“想法比现实更重要”的观点。F 项中的“Surprisingly”也起到承上
启下的作用,后文的“For instance”是对该观点的具体说明。因此 F 项正确。
37. 空格位于段落开头。后文分别提到“One major influence is peer pressure”(同伴压力)和“Another
powerful influence is the media”(媒体影响)。显然,本段是在列举影响身体形象的各种因素。A 项
作为总起句,概括了后文内容,逻辑通顺。因此 A 项正确。
38. 空格前一句指出负面身体形象会导致不健康行为(极端节食、过度运动等)。空格后一句说“当
你过于关注外表时,可能会忘记欣赏自己的其他优点”。可见,负面身体形象不仅有行为上的危
害,还有心理上的影响——降低生活满意度。B 项中的“also”表示补充,与上文构成递进关系,
且“lowers life satisfaction”与后文“forget to appreciate other great things”语义连贯。因此 B 项
正确。
39.空格前一句指出:模特和名人看似完美,但他们的外表很大程度上归功于化妆、角度、灯光和
修图。这些就是“tricks”。空格后段落转向“不要只关注外表,要重视人的真实价值”。E 项承接
前文,指出如果没有这些修饰技巧,他们也是不完美的,从而打破对完美外表的迷信,自然引出
后文建议。因此 E 项正确。
40. 空格前一句说:通过身边积极的影响、避免评论外貌,你可以将注意力从自我批评中转移开
(redirect your attention from self-criticism)。这里的“redirect”就是一种“shift”(转变)。空格后
一句说:随着时间的推移,你会建立内在自信,与身体建立更健康、更包容的关系。G 项中的
“recognize and celebrate your talents and strengths”正是这种转变带来的具体结果,也是建立自信
的途径。前后逻辑连贯,因此 G 项正确。
完形填空
本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者因为没能进入游泳队而感到压力大,爸爸邀请他一起做面包,
在过程中学会了放松和等待。
41. D relax。爸爸是一名忙碌的机械师,但每个周六他都会穿上围裙烤面包。结合后文作者压力
大、爸爸邀请他一起烘焙并从中学会放松可知,爸爸烘焙是为了“放松”(relax)。其他选项:try
(尝试)、play(玩)、taste(品尝)均不符合语境。
42. C qualify。作者感到压力大,是因为发现自己没能“入选”游泳队。qualify for 为固定搭配,意
为“取得……的资格”。account for(解释)、enter for(报名参加)、cater for(迎合)均不恰当。
43. B felt。爸爸知道作者“感觉”如何,所以邀请他一起烘焙。felt 指感受,符合上下文。failed(失
败)、performed(表现)、planned(计划)均不能表达情绪状态。
44. B mix。 爸爸拿出所有材料后,让作者用勺子“混合”配料。mix 是烹饪中的常用词。cook(烹
饪)、scoop(舀)、shake(摇晃)不符合动作描述。
45. A sufficient。 揉面团只花了十分钟,但需要“足够的”能量。sufficient amount of energy 表示能
量消耗大,符合实际。casual(随意的)、slight(轻微的)与转折逻辑矛盾;violent(剧烈的)虽
可表示强度,但通常不修饰 amount,且标准答案选 sufficient。
46. C hardest。 接下来是“最难的”部分——什么也不做。等待面团发酵需要耐心,对作者这样着
急的人来说最难,后文爸爸也强调等待是最困难的过程。best(最好的)、last(最后的)、easiest
(最容易的)均不符合。
47. A swell up。 等待面团慢慢“膨胀”。swell up 指发酵膨胀,是烘焙常用表达。turn up(出现)、
stand out(突出)、come out(出来)均不贴切。
48. D resist。 爸爸说等待最难,因为你必须“抵制”直接把面团放进烤箱的念头。resist 表示克制
冲动。accept(接受)、consider(考虑)、repeat(重复)不合逻辑。
49. C directly。 抵制“直接”放进烤箱的想法。directly 强调未经等待就放入。carefully(小心地)、
completely(完全地)、quickly(快速地)不如 directly 准确。
50. A unless。沉默就像面团一样膨胀,用空虚填满房间,“除非”你用话语把它捶打下去。unless 表
示条件“如果不……就……”。while(当……时)、though(尽管)、once(一旦)均不符合句意。
51. D thoughts。 坐下来聊天,倾听和分享彼此的“想法”感觉很棒。thoughts 指内心的感受和思考。
duties(职责)、recipes(食谱)、snacks(小吃)均偏离主题。
52. B settled。 面粉灰尘静静“沉降”,时间仿佛慢了下来。settled 表示飘落、沉淀。froze(冻结)、
gathered(聚集)、developed(发展)不贴切。
53. A pace。面团会按照自己的“节奏”发酵,我们无法让它加快。pace 指速度或步调。at one’s own
pace 为固定短语。cost(成本)、risk(风险)、point(点)均不符合。
54. C appreciate。 作者不仅学会了烘焙,还学会了“欣赏”时间缓慢流逝的节奏。appreciate 有欣
赏、感激之意,符合从压力中学会放松的转变。forget(忘记)、control(控制)、abandon(放弃)
均不正确。
55. A await。 学会放松并“等待”面包发酵。await 是及物动词,相当于 wait for。desire(渴望)、
follow(跟随)、hurry(催促)与 relax 所表达的从容态度矛盾。
语法填空
本文介绍“Chinamaxxing”这一网络热词,指西方年轻人热衷中国生活方式的现象。分析了其兴
起原因:TikTok禁令促使美国用户转投“小红书”,以及中国过境免签政策扩大。最后指出该现
象反映了全球文化流动的转变,中国生活方式日益被视为值得效仿。
56. coined空格前有副词 newly和不定冠词 a,后跟名词 word,因此需要填一个过去分词作定语,
表示“被创造的”。coin作动词意为“创造(新词)”,过去分词 coined构成 a newly coined word(一
个新造的词)。
57. elementslifestyle elements意为“生活方式元素”。element是可数名词,此处表示多个方面(如
喝热水、室内穿拖鞋等),故用复数形式 elements。
58. uncertainty空格前有形容词 political和并列连词 and,与 old infrastructure并列作 issues like
的宾语。uncertain是形容词,需变为名词 uncertainty,意为“政治不确定性”。
59. which这是一个非限制性定语从句,先行词是前面整个句子“the possible TikTok ban in the US”
(美国可能封禁 TikTok这件事),关系代词在从句中作主语,只能用 which,不能用 that。
60. reshaping句中已有谓语动词 discovered,此处应用非谓语动词。reshape与主语 they之间是主
动关系,且表示结果(发现了真实的中国生活,从而重塑了他们的观点),故用现在分词 reshaping
作结果状语。
61. Additionally空格位于句首,后有逗号,需要填一个副词修饰整个句子,表示“此外,而且”。
additional是形容词,其副词形式为 Additionally(注意首字母大写,因为位于句首)。
62. have allowed时间状语 in the past few years(在过去的几年里)提示使用现在完成时。主语
China's expanded visa-free transit policies(中国扩大的免签过境政策)是复数概念,助动词用 have,
故填 have allowed。
63. as固定搭配 describe...as...,意为“把……描述为……”。句中 describes it ____ "a way of coping",
缺少介词 as。
64. ashift在此处作可数名词,意为“一个转变”。泛指且 shift以辅音音素开头,故用不定冠词 a。
句意:它代表了全球文化流动中的一个转变。
65. are seen主语 Chinese lifestyles与动词 see之间是被动关系(中国生活方式被看作……)。根据
上下文,描述的是当前普遍现象,用一般现在时。主语为复数,故填 are seen。

health-related New Years resolutions are given up in the first week. By the end of the month, 90% of us

making an organized program and keep up with it, applies to everyone; from great athletes who need the
extra drive that turns a natural talent into an Olympic gold, to the overweight who need to do something
to protect themselves against heart disease and cancer. Somewhere in the middle of these extremes,
