HARBIN-A simple online request for company at a grandmother’s funeral has turned into a heartwarming story of human kindness, as dozens of strangers battled a severe snowstorm to
ensure the 90-year-old did not “leave alone.”
The request was posted on social media by a young woman identified only as the
granddaughter. She explained that her grandmother, who had raised her, had passed away at 90-an age considered a “happy funeral” in Chinese tradition. However, as a self-described introvert with few friends, and none locally, she worried that no one would attend the funeral. “I don’t want
Grandma to be too lonely,” she wrote, offering to cover travel expenses and provide small gifts for anyone willing to come. The message resonated widely, drawing thousands of responses.
On the morning of December 23, despite a rare blizzard that paralyzed traffic in the city, an estimated 30 to 40 strangers gathered at the funeral ceremony. Among them was a local resident Mr. Yan, who also answered the call. “If she was asking for help online late at night, she must
have been truly desperate,” he explained. Despite working until 3 a.m.., he kept his promise, battling snow-clogged roads to arrive on time.
Attendees described a scene where almost all the younger generation present were Internet strangers. They bowed in silence before the coffin, accompanied the family to the crematorium, and some even spoke at the ceremony.
The granddaughter later expressed her deep gratitude online, thanking the strangers who transformed a potentially lonely farewell into a gathering of collective warmth. For many
participants, the act was simple: “In Northeast China, a promise made is like ice — it cannot be broken.”
4 ．What did the granddaughter ask for in her online post
A ．Financial assistance.
B ．Donations of memorial items.
C ．Help finding lost relatives.
D ．Companionship at the funeral.
5 ．Why did the granddaughter worry that few people would attend the funeral
A ．Her family relationships were distant.
B ．The ceremony was meant to be private.
C ．She had a small social circle.
D ．The weather conditions were severe.
6 ．Why did Mr. Yan decide to attend the funeral
A ．He was hired by the family.
B ．He felt deep sympathy for her situation.
C ．He had known the dead personally.
D ．He wanted to gain attention online.
7 ．Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A ．A Promise Kept, A Farewell Warmed
B ．An Online Post Sparks Heated Discussion
C ．A Blizzard Brings the City to a Pause
D ．Unexpected Visitors at a Funeral Ceremony
C
Cleaning up air pollution has saved millions of lives, yet it brings unexpected climate effects, a double-edged sword for humans.
Imagine in 2050, humans stop global warming by spraying reflective particles into the
stratosphere. Temperatures stabilize at first. But once the project stops abruptly, the planet heats up rapidly, causing mass extinction of wildlife and social chaos. Such a disaster is called a
“termination shock (终止冲击）” by climate scientists. Surprisingly, humans are undergoing a similar situation now.
Air pollution can cool the planet. Sulfur aerosols（含硫的气溶胶） reflect sunlight and
make clouds whiter and denser, reducing the warming by about 0.5℃. However, global measures to improve air quality, such as cutting sulfur dioxide from power plants and ships, are removing
these cooling aerosols, leading to faster global warming.
The consequences are very serious. Lightning over shipping lanes has decreased, while some areas suffer more powerful tropical cyclones and severe heatwaves. Interestingly, the
original intention of taking these measures is to save lives, so some researchers regard the fast drop in aerosols as an “inadvertent termination shock” or “reverse geoengineering”.
The reduction of sulfur aerosols also harms marine ecosystems, such as threatening the Great Barrier Reef with coral bleaching. Besides, the weakening of Indian monsoon rainfall
caused by air pollution may disappear once pollution controls tighten, bringing heavier floods.
Some experts suggest relaxing emission rules on the high seas to restore part of the cooling effect and slow down the speed of global warming. Nevertheless, others argue that this is not a
real termination shock, which refers to a far more sudden and severe temperature rise.
Anyway, the lesson is clear: in our complex climate system, no decision is entirely risk-free.
8 ．What's the function of the example in Paragraph 2
A ．To introduce a way for humans to stop global warming.
B ．To show an unexpected human-caused climate effect.
C ．To warn humans not to spray reflective particles.
D ．To describe the possible life of humans in 2050.
9 ．What's the main idea of Paragraph 3
A ．What can cool the planet effectively.
B ．What impact air pollution has on the planet.
C ．How global air quality can be improved.
D ．How cleaner air affects global warming.
10 ．What does the underlined word “inadvertent” in Paragraph 4 mean
A ．Active. B ．Dangerous. C ．Unintended. D ．Serious.
11 ．What is the author's attitude towards the suggestions put forward by experts
A ．Supportive. B ．Opposed. C ．Doubtful. D ．Neutral.
D
If those crucial nineteen minutes of“system maintenance” is taken from the brain every night, it may fail to complete its repair work. Over time, white noise, once considered a helpful
sleep aid, may in fact damage the brain.
The debate over “noise-assisted sleep” has lasted for years. Researchers at the French
National Institute of Health and Medical Research once pointed out that even when we are asleep, our ears never stop working. Jo lle Adrien explained that all sounds are captured by the auditory nerve and sent to the brain. A meaningless background noise may not wake you, yet a baby's cry can instantly awaken a mother. This shows that the brain continues to filter information and
consume energy during sleep.
For a long time, white noise was seen as a practical solution. Compared to “white light,” it contains a wide range of sound frequencies and is believed to mask sudden noises such as traffic or slamming doors. Under this logic, white noise was regarded as a lesser problem used to fight a greater one. Some studies even suggested that gentle sounds could reduce anxiety and slow the
heart rate, which led to the growing popularity of sleep-aid apps.
However, more experts are now questioning this idea. Pierre Philip from Bordeaux
University Hospital argues that using one noise to cover another is only a false solution. Across Europe, millions of people are exposed to nighttime noise levels that exceed the limit
recommended by the World Health Organization. Long-term exposure not only disrupts sleep but also increases the risk of high blood pressure and heart disease.
In fact, human evolution has never equipped us with the ability to block out continuous background noise. This approach may help people fall asleep in the short term, but at a deeper level of sleep structure, it may break the most valuable time for the brain’s self-repair.
12 ．What did the researchers point out about the brain while sleeping
A ．It ignores all meaningless noises.
B ．It continues to process sounds.
C ．It only reacts to sudden noises.
D ．It stops working until wake-up.
13 ．Why was white noise once regarded as beneficial
A ．It covers abrupt noise with steady sound.
B ．It removes environmental noise entirely.
C ．It enhances auditory sensitivity at night.
D ．It creates a perfectly silent setting.
14 ．What can be inferred from Pierre Philip’s statement
A ．White noise is a reliable long-term solution.
B ．Noise pollution is no longer a health concern.
C ．Masking noise does not solve the key problem.
D ．The brain can easily adapt to continuous sound.
15 ．What is a consequence of using noise to assist sleep according to the last paragraph
A ．It helps the brain adjust better to environmental noise.
B ．It may interfere with the brain's essential self-repair.
C ．It eliminates the need for natural sleep cycles.
D ．It significantly improves sleep efficiency.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Yale psychologist Brian Scholl often shares a personal experience to explain his research on “unfinishedness” — the annoying frustration people feel when tasks are left undone. He says that sometimes he finishes a task without writing it on his to-do list. Even though he knows it is silly, he still wants to write it down just to cross it out. 16 This shows that the feeling is actually very common.
Scholl and his former workmate Joan Ongchoco were eager to find out why people have a strong need to finish what they start, no matter whether the task is important or not. 17 The result showed that the human brain dislikes leaving things unfinished.
Ongchoco said she could understand this feeling well. When she started the project, she had much uncompleted work with her adviser and lab, making her feel unfinished herself. 18 It can lower work satisfaction, disturb sleep and lead to repeated worrying thoughts.
19 To test this idea, the team carried out four experiments with 120 people. The participants watched computer animations of moving shapes in simple mazes. Some paths were
completed, while others stopped before finishing. Small colored squares appeared along the paths, and participants were later asked to remember their positions. In all experiments, participants had more precise memories of the squares’ positions when they watched unfinished paths, even when
factors like time and distance were the same. This showed that the brain is naturally better at noticing and remembering incomplete things.
Unfinishedness is not just about motivation or satisfaction. 20 The study offers a new way to understand how the mind processes and prioritizes information.
A ．So they conducted a new study.
B ．Many people can relate to this experience.
C ．It is part of how people see and remember the world.
D ．They wondered if the reason has something to do with daily tasks.
E ．They believed that visual signals might help explain this phenomenon.
F ．She also noted that common as it may be, it can be harmful sometimes.
G ．She especially mentioned that it can also make people give up their tasks easily.

In a coastal town in seventeenth-century Portugal, an old mapmaker, called Senhor
Albuquerque, worked alone in a studio, and was said to draw the most charts in
Lisbon. Sailors trusted his maps because he never drew what he did not know — empty spaces remained empty, only by the word INCOGNITA.
A boy named Diogo came to study under him. He had hoped to learn the secrets ofthe trade
— how to shade coastlines, how to names, how to make maps beautiful enough to sell to wealthy _________. But for weeks, Albuquerque gave him only one task: grind (研磨)
pigments.
Diogo grew . “When will you teach me to draw ” he asked one afternoon.
The old man looked up from his work. “What do you see when you look at the sea ”
Diogo was confused. “Water. Waves.”
“Then you are not .”
Months passed. Diogo often watched the old man work, noticing how his hand before marking a new coastline, how he left certain areas blank even when sailors claimed to have
seen islands there.
One evening, a famous captain came to the studio. He brought gold coins and a(n)
: remove the blank spaces from the next map. Fill them with islands, with cities, with anything that would make his voyages look more than they actually were.
Albuquerque listened, then shook his head. “I cannot.”
The captain’s face darkened. “Other mapmakers will. They will sell more maps than you.”
After the captain __________, Diogo asked, “Why did you refuse The money would have ”
“The map is not for the mapmaker,” Albuquerque . “It is for the sailor who trusts it. If I draw an island where none exists, I may send a ship to its .”
Diogo looked at the blank spaces on the current map — vast, empty, . “But they look so incomplete.”
Albuquerque smiled slightly. “They are not empty. They are .”
Years later, after Albuquerque died, Diogo took over his teacher’s position. He never filled the unknown spaces. He left them blank, as his teacher had taught him. Captains complained,
merchants , but he refused.
Later, Diogo became Lisbon’s most respected mapmaker.

47 ．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。
Several years ago, my 80-year-old dad announced that he was determined to learn to use a smartphone. For years, he had turned a deaf ear to our persuasion, firmly insisting that elderly
people should stick to old-fashioned things — like his old flip phone and paper notebooks. But
everything changed overnight when his best friend showed him vivid photos of his grandchildren on a smartphone, laughing as he shared little stories behind each shot.
Far from being bored, Dad was so impressed that he made up his mind to catch up with the times, saying softly, “I want to record our family too.” His voice was gentle but firm.
We bought him a second-hand phone as a gift. Much to our amusement, he treated it like a precious textbook, his rough, weathered hands brushing the screen gently as ifit were a fragile
treasure. He would bury himself in the thick instruction book, taking careful notes with a pen and practicing how to type and unlock the screen again and again, even repeating simple gestures until his fingers grew tired and his eyes grew a little blurred. My family and I found it absolutely funny, yet a warm feeling filled our hearts at the sight of his sincere efforts.
One Sunday afternoon, a short message from Dad lit up my phone screen: “Come over
immediately. I have a big surprise for you!” The words were typed a little crookedly, with a few typos, but I could feel his excitement through the screen.
When I stepped through the door, I noticed Dad standing in the living room, holding his
phone carefully with both hands, his eyes sparkling with excitement and a touch of nervousness. “I’ve mastered taking photos today,” he announced in a proud voice, as if he had achieved a great victory. Then he handed me the phone with trembling fingers, his lips curved into a childlike
smile.
I smiled, ready to praise him for his progress. But I could hardly help laughing at the sight before me.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I stared at the screen, unable to believe my eyes.

1 ．C 2 ．D 3 ．A
本文主要介绍了阿默斯特学院 2026 年初及相关时段的四项活动，分别是莎士比亚画作展览、TEDx 演讲者招募、中文交流角和哥斯达黎加留学说明会，介绍了各活动的时间、面向对象和具体内容。
1 ．细节理解题。根据 Imagining Shakespeare 部分“14 paintings from London’s Boydell
Shakespeare Gallery are on show here for the first time since 1805.(自 1805 年以来，伦敦博伊德尔莎士比亚美术馆的 14 幅画作首次在此展出)”可知，Imagining Shakespeare 中的画作在时隔200 多年后再次公开展出。
2 ．细节理解题。根据 TEDx 2026 Speaker Recruitment 部分“No speaking experience is needed, and you’ll get full support to prepare your talk.(无需具备演讲经验，我们会为您提供全面的支持来协助您准备演讲内容)”以及 KU Costa Rica Study Abroad 部分“On-site program
coordinators will host this virtual info session for students wanting to learn more about the UCR
program: Register here (Please note that your registration may be in central time). The session
introduces the Costa Rica study abroad program, where you can study at the top local UCR.(现场项目协调员将为那些希望进一步了解哥斯达黎加大学项目的同学们举办这场线上信息交流会：点击此处进行注册（请注意，您的注册时间是美国中部时间）。此次会议将介绍哥斯达黎加的海外学习项目，您可以在当地顶尖的加州大学河滨分校进行学习)”可知，2026 年TEDx活动的演讲者招募活动与科罗拉多大学哥斯达黎加分校的海外学习项目都为学生提供帮助和指导。
3 ．推理判断题。文本包含活动时间、报名方式、邮箱、注册提示等实用信息，形式简洁清晰，符合校园网站活动通知的特点。
4 ．D 5 ．C 6 ．B 7 ．A
本文讲述哈尔滨一名女孩网上发帖寻求陌生人陪伴出席奶奶葬礼，众多陌生人顶风雪赴约，上演温暖善意的感人故事。
4 ．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“She explained that her grandmother, who had raised her, had passed away at 90-an age considered a “happy funeral” in Chinese tradition. However, as a
self-described introvert with few friends, and none locally, she worried that no one would attend
the funeral. “I don’t want Grandma to be too lonely,” she wrote, offering to cover travel expenses and provide small gifts for anyone willing to come.(她解释说，抚养她长大的祖母去世了，享年90 岁，在中国传统中，这个年龄的葬礼被认为是“喜丧” 。然而，她自称是个内向的人，朋
(
,
)友很少，而且在当地没有朋友，她担心没有人会参加葬礼。‘我不想让奶奶太孤独，’她写道愿意为愿意来的人支付旅费并提供小礼物。)”可知，孙女在网上发帖请求有人能在葬礼上陪伴。
5．细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, as a self-described introvert with few friends, and none locally, she worried that no one would attend the funeral.(然而，她自称是个内向的人，朋友很少，而且在当地没有朋友，她担心没有人会参加葬礼。)”可知，孙女担心很少有人参加葬礼是因为她的社交圈很小。
6．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Among them was a local resident Mr. Yan, who also answered the call. “If she was asking for help online late at night, she must have been truly desperate,” he
explained.(当地居民严先生也在其中，他也回应了这一请求。“如果她深夜在网上求助，那她一定是真的绝望了，”他解释道。)”可知，严先生决定参加葬礼是因为他对她的处境深感同情。
7 ．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The granddaughter later expressed her deep gratitude online,
thanking the strangers who transformed a potentially lonely farewell into a gathering of collective warmth. For many participants, the act was simple: “In Northeast China, a promise made is like
ice — it cannot be broken.”(孙女后来在网上表达了深深的感激之情，感谢那些把原本可能孤独的告别变成了一场集体温暖的聚会的陌生人。对许多参与者来说，这个行为很简单：“在东北，承诺就像冰——不能打破。”)” 以及结合全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了众多陌生人遵守承诺前往参加葬礼，让告别变得温暖，所以 A 选项“A Promise Kept, A Farewell
Warmed(一个遵守的承诺，一场温暖的告别)”最能概括文章主旨。
8 ．B 9 ．D 10 ．C 11 ．D
本文主要介绍了治理空气污染虽拯救了数百万人的生命，却带来了意想不到的气候影响，成为人类面临的一把双刃剑，还探讨了其具体影响及相关争议。
8 ．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Such a disaster is called a “termination shock”（终止冲击） by climate scientists. Surprisingly, humans are undergoing a similar situation now.(气候科学家将这种灾难称为“终止冲击”。令人惊讶的是， 人类现在正经历类似的情况。)”可知，第二段的例子是为了引出人类目前正面临的、类似“终止冲击” 的意外气候影响，即治理空气污染带来的意想不到的后果。
9 ．主旨大意题。根据第三段“Air pollution can cool the planet. Sulfur aerosols(含硫的气溶胶)reflect sunlight and make clouds whiter and denser, reducing the warming by about 0.5℃ .
However, global measures to improve air quality, such as cutting sulfur dioxide from power plants and ships, are removing these cooling aerosols, leading to faster global warming.(空气污染可以
给地球降温。含硫的气溶胶反射阳光，使云变得更白更密，使气温降低约 0.5℃ 。然而，全球改善空气质量的措施，如减少发电厂和船舶排放的二氧化硫，正在去除这些冷却气溶胶，导致全球变暖加快。)”可知，第三段主要讲的是更清洁的空气（去除冷却气溶胶）如何影响全球变暖。
10．词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Interestingly, the original intention of taking these measures is to save lives, so some researchers regard the fast drop in aerosols as an ‘inadvertent termination
shock’ or ‘reverse geoengineering’ .(有趣的是，采取这些措施的初衷是拯救生命，因此一些研究人员将气溶胶的快速减少称为“inadvertent 终止冲击”或“反向地球工程” 。)”可知，气溶胶减少并非人们刻意为之，而是治理空气污染（初衷是拯救生命）带来的意外结果，因此
“inadvertent”意为“无意的、非故意的” ，与“Unintended”意思相近。
11．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Some experts suggest relaxing emission rules on the high seas to restore part of the cooling effect and slow down the speed of global warming. Nevertheless,
others argue that this is not a real termination shock, which refers to a far more sudden and severe temperature rise.（一些专家建议放宽公海排放规则，以恢复部分冷却效果，减缓全球变暖的速度。然而，其他人则认为，这不是真正的终止冲击，真正的终止冲击指的是更为突然和严重的气温上升。)” 以及最后一段“Anyway, the lesson is clear: in our complex climate system, no decision is entirely risk-free.(无论如何，教训是明确的：在我们复杂的气候系统中，没有任何决定是完全无风险的。)”可知，作者只是客观陈述了专家的建议以及不同人对这些建议的看法，没有表明自己支持、反对或怀疑的态度，所以作者对专家建议的态度是中立的。
12 ．B 13 ．A 14 ．C 15 ．B
本文介绍白噪音曾被认为有助睡眠，但最新研究表明，长期使用白噪音助眠会让大脑在睡眠中持续处理声音、消耗能量，进而干扰大脑关键的自我修复过程，危害健康。
12 ．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Jo lle Adrien explained that all sounds are captured by the
auditory nerve and sent to the brain. This shows that the brain continues to filter information and
consume energy during sleep.(Jo lle Adrien 解释说，所有声音都被听觉神经捕捉并传送到大脑。这表明大脑在睡眠期间继续过滤信息并消耗能量)”可知，研究人员指出大脑在睡眠时继续处理声音。
13 ．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Compared to “white light,” it contains a wide range of sound
frequencies and is believed to mask sudden noises such as traffic or slamming doors.(与“ 白光”相比，它包含广泛的声音频率，被认为可以掩盖交通或砰砰关门等突然的噪音)”可知，白噪音曾被认为有益是因为它用稳定的声音掩盖了突发的噪音。
14 ．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Pierre Philip from Bordeaux University Hospital argues that
using one noise to cover another is only a false solution.(波尔多大学医院的 Pierre Philip 认为，用一个噪音掩盖另一个噪音只是一个错误的解决方案)”可知，Pierre Philip 认为掩盖噪音并不能解决关键问题。
15 ．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“This approach may help people fall asleep in the short term, but at a deeper level of sleep structure, it may break the most valuable time for the brain’s
self-repair.(这种方法可能在短期内帮助人们入睡，但在更深层次的睡眠结构中，它可能会破坏大脑自我修复的最宝贵时间)”可知，使用噪音助眠可能会干扰大脑必要的自我修复。
16 ．B 17 ．A 18 ．F 19 ．E 20 ．C
本文介绍了耶鲁心理学家关于“未完成感” 的研究，解释人们为何对未完成的事有强烈执念，以及未完成感对记忆、情绪和认知的影响。
16 ．根据上文“Yale psychologist Brian Scholl often shares a personal experience to explain his
research on “unfinishedness”-the annoying frustration people feel when tasks are left undone. He
says that sometimes he finishes a task without writing it on his to-do list. Even though he knows it is silly, he still wants to write it down just to cross it out.(耶鲁大学的心理学家布莱恩·肖尔经常通过讲述个人经历来阐释他关于“未完成感” 的研究——即人们在任务未完成时所感受到的
那种恼人的挫败感。他说，有时他会完成一项任务，但却没有将其记录在待办事项清单上。尽管他知道这样做很愚蠢，但他还是想要把它写下来，然后将其划掉)”以及后文“This shows that the feeling is actually very common.(这表明这种感觉实际上是非常普遍的)”可知，上文讲述 Brian Scholl 的个人经历，后句提到这种感觉很普遍，B 项“许多人都能理解这种经历”承接上下文，符合语境。
17．根据上文“Scholl and his former workmate Joan Ongchoco were eager to find out why people have a strong need to finish what they start, no matter whether the task is important or not.(肖尔和他的前同事琼·翁乔科都十分渴望弄清楚，为何人们会有强烈的意愿去完成他们已经开始着手的事情，无论这项任务是否重要)”以及后文“The result showed that the human brain dislikes leaving things unfinished.(结果表明，人类的大脑不喜欢事情半途而废)”可知，前句说研究者想弄清原因，后句提到结果表明大脑不喜欢未完成的事，A 项“所以他们开展了一项新的研
究”承上启下，符合逻辑。
18．根据上文“Ongchoco said she could understand this feeling well. When she started the project, she had much uncompleted work with her adviser and lab, making her feel unfinished herself.(翁乔科表示，她非常能理解这种感受。在开始这个项目时， 她与导师和实验室还有许多未完成的工作要做，这让她自己也感觉任务未完成)”以及后文“It can lower work satisfaction, disturb sleep and lead to repeated worrying thoughts.(它会降低工作满意度，扰乱睡眠，并导致反复出现的担忧思绪)”可知，前句讲 Ongchoco 自身的未完成感，后句说明其负面影响， F 项“她还指出，尽管这种情况很常见，但有时也会带来危害”连接上下文，符合语境。
19 ．根据后文“To test this idea, the team carried out four experiments with 120 people. The
participants watched computer animations of moving shapes in simple mazes. Some paths were
completed, while others stopped before finishing. Small colored squares appeared along the paths, and participants were later asked to remember their positions. In all experiments, participants had more precise memories of the squares’ positions when they watched unfinished paths, even when factors like time and distance were the same. This showed that the brain is naturally better at
noticing and remembering incomplete things.(为了验证这一观点，研究团队对 120 名参与者进行了四次实验。实验中， 参与者观看了计算机模拟的在简单迷宫中移动的图形动画。有些路径能够完成，而有些则在结束前停止了。沿着这些路径会出现一些小的彩色方块，之后参与者会被要求记住这些方块的位置。在所有实验中， 当参与者观看未完成的路径时，他们对这些方块位置的记忆都更为精确，即便时间因素和距离因素相同也是如此。这表明大脑天生更善于察觉和记住未完成的事物)”可知，后文通过电脑动画实验验证视觉相关的猜想，E 项“他们认为视觉信号或许能够解释这一现象” 引出实验依据，符合文意。
20 ．根据上文“Unfinishedness is not just about motivation or satisfaction.(未完成这件事不仅仅关乎动力或满足感)”可知，前句说未完成感不只是动力或满足感，C 项“这是人们观察和记忆世界的方式的一部分”进一步解释其本质，与后文研究意义衔接。

文章主要讲述了一个老制图师 Senhor Albuquerque 始终坚持自己的原则——从不在地图上绘制他不知道的地方，他获得了水手的信任，而且他的处事原则深深影响了自己的徒弟，后来徒弟继承了他的衣钵。
21 ．考查形容词。句意：在 17 世纪葡萄牙的一个海滨小镇，一位名叫 Senhor Albuquerque 的老制图师独自在工作室工作，据说他能绘制出里斯本最精确的地图。A. expensive 昂贵的； B. decorative 装饰性的；C. ordinary 普通的；D. accurate 精确的。根据下文“Sailors trusted his maps because he never drew what he did not know”可知，水手们信任他的地图，因为他只画他知道的，不画不知道的，这说明他的地图是精确的。
22．考查动词。句意：水手们信任他的地图，因为他从不绘制他不知道的东西——空白处依然空白，仅标记着 INCOGNITA（未知之地）这个词。A. covered 覆盖；B. marked 标记；C. filled 填充；D. painted 描绘。根据空后“by the word INCOGNITA”可知，空白处是用“未知之地”这个词来标记的。
23．考查动词。句意：他曾希望能学到这一行的秘诀——如何绘制海岸线阴影，如何标注名称，如何让地图精美得足以卖给富有的商人。A. copy 复制；B. measure 测量；C. letter 用字母标明；D. fold 折叠。根据空前的“how to”及空后的“names”可知，此处指如何在地图上标注地名。
24．考查名词。句意同上。A. soldiers 士兵；B. farmers 农民；C. servants 仆人；D. merchants商人。根据空前的“wealthy”和后文提到的“Captains complained, merchants...”可知，此处指把地图卖给富商。
25 ．考查形容词。句意：Diogo 变得沮丧起来。A. frightened 害怕的；B. frustrated 沮丧的； C. curious 好奇的；D. disappointed 失望的。根据上文“But for weeks, Albuquerque gave him only one task: grind (研磨) pigments.” 以及下文“When will you teach me to draw ”可知，Diogo 想学绘图的秘诀，但几周来老师只让他研磨颜料，这种单调重复的工作让他感到挫败和急躁。
26．考查形容词。句意：那你就是还没准备好。A. ready 准备好的；B. patient 耐心的；C. careful仔细的；D. proud 骄傲的。根据上文“The old man looked up from his work. ‘What do you see when you look at the sea ’”和“Diogo was confused. ‘Water. Waves.’”可知，老人认为他还没有准备好学习绘图的真谛。
27 ．考查动词。句意：Diogo 经常观察老人的工作，注意到他在标出新海岸线之前手会如何犹豫，也注意到即使水手们声称在那里看到了岛屿，他也会让某些区域保持空白。A. rushed冲；B. trembled 颤抖；C. waved 挥动；D. hesitated 犹豫。根据下文“how he left certain areas blank even when sailors claimed to have seen islands there”可知，老人对于不确定的信息会留白，因此在画新海岸线时会犹豫，体现其严谨的态度。
28．考查名词。句意：他带来了金币和一个要求：从下一张地图上去掉空白处。A. suggestion
(
m
)建议；B. invitation 邀请；C. demand 要求；D. request 请求。根据空后“remove the blank spaces fro the next map. Fill them with islands...”可知，船长带着钱来，要求修改地图。
29．考查形容词。句意：把地图填满，用岛屿、城市、任何能让他的航行看起来比实际情况更令人印象深刻的东西。A. dangerous 危险的；B. impressive 印象深刻的；C. adventurous 冒险的；D. successful 成功的。根据空后的“than they actually were”可知，船长为了虚荣，想让地图填满地方， 目的是为了让他的航行记录看起来比实际更令人印象深刻。
30 ．考查动词短语。句意：船长气冲冲地离开后，Diogo 问道：“你为什么拒绝？那笔钱本可以 ”A. slipped away 溜走；B. stepped aside 让开；C. stormed out 气冲冲地离开；D. walked off 走开。根据上文“The captain’s face darkened. ‘Other mapmakers will. They will sell more
maps than you.’”可知，船长被拒绝后脸色阴沉，扬言别人会做，因此他是愤怒地离开。
31 ．考查动词。句意：“地图不是为制图师准备的，”Albuquerque 打断道。A. interrupted 打断；B. encouraged 鼓励；C. warned 警告；D. reminded 提醒。根据上文“The money would have...”可知，Diogo 正在说话，被 Albuquerque 打断并阐述自己的观点。
32 ．考查名词。句意：如果我在不存在岛屿的地方画上岛屿，我可能会把一艘船引向毁灭。 A. fortune 财富；B. victory 胜利；C. ruin 毁灭；D. safety 安全。根据上文“If I draw an island where none exists”并结合常识可知，在不存在岛屿的地方画岛屿会误导船只，导致触礁等灾难性后果，即引向“毁灭”。
33 ．考查形容词。句意：Diogo 看着当前地图上的空白区域——广阔、空旷、毫无吸引力。 A. attractive 吸引人的；B. colorful 多彩的；C. crowded 拥挤的；D. uninviting 无吸引力的。
根据上文“vast, empty” 以及下文 Diogo 的评价“But they look so incomplete.”可知，他觉得这些空白区域看起来不完整、空荡荡的，没有吸引力。
34 ．考查形容词。句意：它们不是空的。它们是诚实的。A. honest 诚实的；B. perfect 完美的；C. complete 完整的；D. artistic 艺术的。根据全文主旨，Albuquerque 坚持不绘制未知区域，不造假，这是一种“诚实” 的表现。
35．考查动词。句意：船长们抱怨，商人们施压，但他拒绝了。A. praised 表扬；B. pressured施压；C. supported 支持；D. persuaded 劝说。根据上文“Captains complained” 以及下文“but he refused”可知，商人们和船长一样不满，试图通过抱怨等方式向他“施压” ，让他改变做法。

文章讲述了宇航员 Don Petit 和摄影师 Babak Tafreshi 开展了一个独特项目，分别从国际空间站和地面同步拍摄地球景象，通过对比照片展现地球的珍贵与独特。
36．考查名词性从句。句意：今年早些时候，宇航员 Don Petit 和摄影师 Babak Tafreshi 启动了一个独特的项目，他们的初衷是分别从距离地球 250 英里的国际空间站（ISS）和地面拍摄相同的地球景象。本句为主语从句，从句缺少宾语，指物，所以用连接代词 what 引导。
37 ．考查时态。句意：当佩蒂特高度赞扬马达加斯加的猴面包树时，塔弗雷希受到了启发，决定前往那里在繁星满天的夜空中拍摄这些古老的树木，而佩蒂特则从国际空间站拍摄它们。根据全文时态为一般过去时，此处应用 strike 的过去式 struck。
38．考查非谓语动词。句意：当佩蒂特高度赞扬马达加斯加的猴面包树时，塔弗雷希受到了启发，决定前往那里在繁星满天的夜空中拍摄这些古老的树木，而佩蒂特则从国际空间站拍摄它们。此处用现在分词作结果状语，表示自然而然的结果。
39 ．考查名词。句意：这两个人于 2003 年结下了深厚的友谊，当时 Tafreshi ，一位天文杂志编辑，称赞了佩蒂特的太空照片。结合语境可知 Tafreshi 是一本天文杂志的编辑，所以用名词 editor。
40．考查冠词。句意：这个项目听起来美妙且令人印象深刻，但实际上他们遇到了许多障碍。 “many a/an+名词单数”意为“许多的 ”，虽然接单数，但表示复数概念。
41．考查介词。句意：安全问题使 Tafreshi 无法进入冲突边境地区，而 Petit 则在执行宇航员任务的同时安排拍摄工作。固定搭配 prevent sb. from...表示“ 阻止某人 ”。
42．考查定语从句。句意：他们的最后一次拍摄是在马达加斯加，那里天空晴朗，没有光污染。先行词为地点名词 Madagascar ，关系副词 where 在从句中作地点状语，故用 where 引导定语从句。
43．考查非谓语动词。句意：Tafreshi 在银河系下拍摄了这些猴面包树，而 Petit 则利用月光从轨道上构图拍摄这片景色。固定搭配 use sth. to do sth.表示“用某物做某事”。
44．考查副词。句意：所呈现的图像生动地揭示了一个令人震惊的事实：从太空看，地球不仅是一颗脆弱而闪耀的星球，而且还是一个充满生机的家园，到处都是生命的存在——这让我们意识到，地球既是一个普通的星球，也是我们唯一的家园。修饰形容词 striking 应用副词形式， true 的副词为 truly。
45 ．考查非谓语动词。句意：所呈现的图像生动地揭示了一个令人震惊的事实：从太空看，地球不仅是一颗脆弱而闪耀的星球，而且还是一个充满生机的家园，到处都是生命的存在 ——这让我们意识到，地球既是一个普通的星球，也是我们唯一的家园。固定搭配 be filled
with“充满” ，fill 与 home 是被动关系，故此处用过去分词作后置定语。

47．
I stared at the screen, unable to believe my eyes. Instead of neat and clear photos, the album was full of funny, twisted, and upside-down pictures — mostly shaky shots of our family’s little
things and a few clumsy selfies. Some had half-cut objects, some were too dark, and others were so funny that I almost burst out laughing. But when I looked closer, my heart melted. Every photo was labeled with his careful handwriting: “My girl,” “My family,” “Home.” I immediately
realized that he had no idea how to adjust the camera or keep it steady.
Tears mixed with laughter as I hugged my dad tightly. He looked confused at first, and then smiled shyly, worrying that he had disappointed me. Instead of laughing at him, I told him how
much I loved every silly photo, for every blurry shot was filled with his deep warmth and sincere love for our family. I felt it was my duty to teach him patiently, showing him how to hold the
phone properly and take a clear photo step by step. Under my guidance, he tried again and finally took a nice, clear photo of us together. That day, I learned that true love needs no perfection, only sincerity.
