27.C。文章讲述了劳伦如何通过在家族农场的一部分土地上种植蔬菜来帮助社区，她的努力不仅解决了foodshelter的新鲜蔬菜短缺问题，还对社区产生了积极影响，使得更多人得到了帮助。“Lauren’shalf-acregardenproduced15varietiesofvegetables...benefitingfoodbanks,nursinghomes,andsoupkitchens”“Herworkhasfoundadeepechoamongothers…”以及“herbeliefinthepowerofcommunity”都强调了社区成长和希望的主题。【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍加州海獭的恢复历程及其对沿海沼泽生态系统的积极影响，强调了顶级捕食者在维持生态平衡中的重要作用。28.D。根据文章第二段中的“Therootcausewasagrowingpopulationofshorecrabs,whichfedheavilyonthemarshplants,weakeningthestructuralintegrityofthehabitat.”可知，ElkhornSlough沿岸沼泽遭受了严重的破坏，其根本原因是岸边蟹数量的增加，这些蟹大量地吃掉了沼泽植物，削弱了栖息地的结构完整性。这表明海獭的消失导致了沿海生态平衡的恶化。29.D。根据文章第三段中的“theottershavehelpedasignificantregrowthofplantlife”和“whichinturnstabilizedthesoilandloweredtherateofsoilwashingaway”可知，在有海獭的地区，蟹的数量显著下降，这导致了植物生长的复苏。这种复苏反过来又稳定了土壤，并降低了土壤被冲刷的速率。这里的“resurgence”指的是植物生长的复苏或恢复。30.C。根据文章第四段中的“Sherevealsmarshrestorationalsohelpspeoplebyreducingflooding.‘Suddenly,seaottersgofromjustcutethingsweliketosomethingthatcanprotectourlivelihoodsandourproperties.’”可知，作者引用科学家LekeliaJenkins的话是为了展示海獭对人类的实际益处，如减少洪水灾害等。31.B。文章通过展示海獭对沿海生态系统的积极影响，传达了生态系统之间相互联系的信息，即海獭作为一个关键物种，对其自然环境有着显著的影响（顶级捕食者在维持生态平衡中的重要性）。【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了在数字时代，社交媒体用户为什么容易陷入假新闻的陷阱，以及如何通过一款名为ChamberBreaker的游戏工具来识别和抵制网络上的回声室效应。32.B。根据文章的第二段中的“userscaneasilyfallintoanechochamber(回声室)—asortofvirtualspacewhereusersconsumeonlyone-sidednews,eventuallydistrustinganyopposingviews.‘Wealltendtoagreewiththegroupopinion.Hence,peoplenaturallygettogetherwithotherswhoholdthesameopinion’”可知，用户可能会陷入一个回声室，这是一种虚拟空间，在这里用户只消费单一观点的新闻，并最终不信任任何相反的观点。我们都倾向于同意群体观点，因此人们自然地与持有相同观点的人聚在一起。这表明回声室会聚集持有相同观点的个体。33.C。根据文章第三段的“ThefundamentalapproachemployedbyChamberBreakercentersaroundadecision-makingprocedurethatmirrorsthecreationofechochambers...Then,theplayerselectsnewsthatcouldcausetheothermemberstofallintoanechochamberwhileatthesametimemaintainingtheirtrust.”可知，ChamberBreaker的核心方法是一个决策程序，该程序反映了回声室的创建。在游戏中，玩家需要选择新闻，让其他成员陷入回声室，同时保持他们的信任。34.A。根据文章的第四段可知，文章提到研究者们用超过800个对象测试了ChamberBreaker，以查看它是否提高了玩家对回声室的认识并改变了新闻消费行为。这表明游戏有效性的证据来自于科学测试的结果。35.D。文章最后提到，研究者们希望他们的方法能够激发对信息消费相关的科学和学术研究的更大兴趣，并且ChamberBreaker的应用，着重于培养分析推理，可能会引导我们打造一个更加明智的在线社区。这意味着玩ChamberBreaker的长期效应可能是增强批判性思维。【语篇导读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了静默行走这一趋势，探讨了如何进行静默行走，以及这种行走方式对健康的好处，特别是对促进认知和情感福祉的潜在影响。36.F。此空设于段中，与上文的描述形成补充关系，同时下文提到的静默行走的健康益处与之构成承接关系。上文强调了静默行走避免了分心的元素，如音乐或对话，专注于心灵、身体与自然的联系。下文则继续阐述了这种行走方式如何对健康有益，是一种节奏更慢、冲击更小的放松方式。选项F“Unlikeexercise-orientedwalking,itisn’taboutreachingcertainspeedorsteps.（与以锻炼为导向的行走不同，它不关注达到特定的速度或步数。）”恰当地衔接了上下文，强调了静默行走与以锻炼为导向的行走在目的上的不同，因此F是正确选项。37.G。此空设于段中，与前文内容形成因果逻辑关系。这个空格所在的段落讨论了选择一个自然环境并全面参与感官体验的重要性。选项G“Insuchanenvironment,youcanimmerseyourselfinthenaturalsoundscape(音景).（在这样的环境中，你可以沉浸在自然的声音景观中。）”恰当地说明了“findaquietandpeacefulnaturallocation”的原因，因此G是正确选项。38.A。此空设于段中，与上文形成转折关系，同时为下文提出的“无聊的积极影响”提供铺垫。选项A“Butbeingboredwon’thurtyou.（但是感到无聊不会伤害你。）”恰当地提出了一个与上文相对的观点，表明尽管无聊可能被视为不愉快的体验，但它并非有害，这为下文科学家对无聊的积极评价提供了逻辑上的衔接，因此A是正确选项。39.C。此空设于段尾，是对上文的承接，并呼应段落主题。这个空格所在的段落讨论了开始进行静默行走的建议，从五分钟开始，逐渐增加到三十分钟。选项C“Adjustingtheroutinegraduallycanhelpeaseintotheexperience.（逐渐调整常规可以帮助轻松进入体验。）”与上文提到的从短时间开始逐步增加时间相呼应，说明逐步调整可以帮助人们适应没有音乐的行走，因此C是正确选项。40.E。此空设于段中，与前文内容形成逻辑上的解释关系。根据上文提到的完成静默行走后，要花时间反思任何出现的想法、感受或领悟可知，本句应当提供一个对这种反思行为的进一步解释或重要性的阐述。选项E“Theycandeepenunderstandingandserveasarecordofpersonalgrowth.（它们可以加深理解并作为个人成长的记录。）”正好与上文建议的反思活动相呼应，强调了记录这些想法、感受或领悟对于加深个人理解和记录个人成长的重要性，因此E是正确选项。【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了71岁的比尔·苏米尔（BillSumiel）正在与肾衰竭作斗争，一次Uber打车经历改变了他的生活，意想不到的Uber互动变成了一次拯救生命的旅程。这次意外的Uber之旅不仅改变了Sumiel的生活，也展示了善良、共情和人际关系在逆境中的力量。41.B。根据第二段中的“SumielreliedonUberfortransportationtohisspecializedcenter”可知选B。偶遇（encounter）符合这里描述的情境。42.D。由于他们是通过Uber这个平台相遇的，他们原本是陌生人，然后他们的关系发展成了超越这种基本关系的“extraordinarytie”。strangers符合Sumiel和Letts在Uber之旅之前的关系状态。43.C。根据上文的“battlingkidneyfailure”可知，Sumiel患有导致肾脏问题的疾病（condition）已经20多年了。condition在这里指的是健康状况或疾病。44.A。根据下文的“Billreallylitupthecarwithpositiveenergy”和“afterlearningaboutSumiel’ssearchforadonor”可知，他们在谈话过程中增进了感情，因此“bonded”即“建立了密切关系”是正确选项。45.B。根据上下文可知，Letts在了解Sumiel需要肾脏捐赠者后，最终（Eventually）提出了捐赠，这个词表示一段时间后的发展结果。46.C。根据下文的“unforeseengenerosity”可知，Sumiel对Letts愿意捐献肾脏的慷慨举动感到惊讶（surprised）。 47.B。根据上文可知，尽管Sumiel对Letts意外的慷慨感到惊讶，但他很快发现（realized）Letts对于捐赠是真诚的。48.D。根据下文“itwasconfirmedthatLettswasanidealdonor”可知，先要经过几个月的全面筛查和测试（testing），才能证实Letts是否适合捐献。49.A。根据上文的“Lettswasanidealdonor”和下文的“successfulsurgeries”可知，Letts是Sumiel的完美匹配（match）。这里“match”意指在医学上的匹配，符合语境。50.C。根据上文“thesuccessfulsurgerieschangedSumiel’slifeforthebetter”可知，手术成功了，改变了Sumiel的生活，使他从肾脏治疗中解脱（freeing）出来。51.C。根据上文可知，Sumiel认可并赞成（recognized）活体捐赠者的非凡本质，这里表示他的一种认可和称赞。52.D。根据下文的“Letts’selflessact’”可知，Sumiel对其无私的行为非常感激(gratefulfor)。53.B。根据上文“althoughrelocatedtoanothercountryforworkcommitments”可知，尽管Letts搬到了另一个国家，但他保持（maintains）了与Sumiel的牢固关系。54.A。根据上文可知，由于Letts搬到了另一个国家“Letts,althoughrelocatedtoanothercountry.”，Letts和Sumiel无法经常见面，因此他们之间的关系现在主要通过其他方式维持。身处异地的两人热切地期待着他们的团聚（reunion）。55.D。文章最后提到他们的Uber互动（interaction）成为了挽救生命的旅程，强调了他们之间的互动和联系，符合句子中展现的“kindness，empathy(共情)，andhumanconnection”。【语篇导读】本文是一篇游记。文章描述了作者在江苏省苏州和南京这两座城市的旅行体验，展示了这两座城市如何在创新与保护传统之间找到独特的平衡。作者详细叙述了在苏州感受到的工业氛围和古典园林的古老魅力，以及在南京体会到的现代化与尊重历史传统的融合。这次旅行不仅让作者对这两座城市印象深刻，而且激发了他进一步探索的渴望。56.incredibly。考查副词。此处需要副词形式来修饰“fortunate”，故填“incredibly”，表示作者非常幸运能有这次旅行的经历。57.longing。考查现在分词。根据句意，此处“longing”表示持续的行为状态，表示作者对进一步探索的渴望。58.Toengage。考查不定式作目的状语。作者想要融入当地的工业氛围，“Toengage”表示选择住在“工业园区”的意图。59.where.。考查定语从句。在那里（where）指代“industrialpark”，在句中起到连接作用，引导定语从句。60.exploration。考查名词。根据句子结构可知，此处需要名词作宾语，故填exploration。61.storied。考查过去分词作定语。此处需要分词作形容词来修饰“past”,表达“有故事的、丰富的、传奇的”意思，故填storied。“传奇的（storied）”描述过去富有故事色彩，有很多传说或历史。62.an。考查冠词。因innovative的读音以元音音素开头，在形容词innovative前面使用不定冠词an。63.but。考查连词。表示并列关系，突出现代化思维与对过去深深的尊重在苏州不是独有的，南京也有相同的特点。64.to/with。考查介词。根据句意可知，此处表示高楼与古老的社区、寺庙和建筑形成鲜明对比。65.wereoccupied。考查动词的时态、语态。使用一般过去时和被动语态，表示这些建筑物曾经被人占领了。第四部分第一节

out”可知，第二段重点描述Elise看到装饰后的鹿雕像和她的朋友们时的惊喜和感激之情。Elise的欣赏和渴望参与下一次装饰的愿望给Kendra带来了快乐，这不仅为Elise带来了微笑，也为Kendra在建立新友谊和向他人表达情感方面迈出了重要的一步。(3)主题：本文的核心主题是关于友谊、个人成长和团结合作的力量。Kendra通过为邻居Elise装饰鹿雕像来表达她的关心和爱心，从而克服了自己的害羞和犹豫的性格。这个行动不仅给Elise带来了快乐，而且促成了Kendra与Elise以及其他同学之间的新友谊。这个故事强调了小小的善意行为如何能够产生巨大的影响，以及如何通过共同的目标和努力来建立联系和社区意识。通过这次装饰活动，Kendra也实现了个人成长，学会了更加自信和勇敢地表达自己的感情。(4)高分作文应与文章故事主线完全一致，且体现文章的语言风格，比如对角色的细致刻画。(5)续写的两段话题能与原文线索大致吻合，细微情节的描述不与原文相悖且能自圆其说，因结合“评分原则”中的4个维度来综合进行打分。抓主要话题和主题，而不是放大某一细节情节来判定是否给及格分。听力材料Text1M:IdreamedIwenttoIndialastnight.ThepicturesofTajMahalimpressedmesomuch.W:Whynotgothereduringthecomingholiday?M:IwenttoSouthKoreainMarchandSingaporeinApril.I’veusedupthemoneyontravel.Text2M:Youarewetallover！Howheavytherainis!W:Yes.ItwassunnyandwarmwhenIlefthomeinthemorning,soIdidn’tbringmyumbrella.Text3M:Areyougoingtostayandhavedinnerwithus,Susan?W:Definitely.ButImustleavebefore8:00.M:OK.Wouldyouliketoeatat6:30then?W:That’stooearlyforallofyou,isn’tit?Perhaps7:00isbetter.Text4W:Whatdoyouthinkoftheapartmentyousaw?M:It’sinagreatareanearmyoffice,andthepriceisalsoaffordable.Buttheapartmentbuildingdoesn’tallowpets.W:Nevermind,you’llfindsomewhereelse!Text5M:Goodmorning,I’dliketoapplyforthepositionofinsurancesalesman.MayIknowtheworkinghours?W:It’sfourdaysaweek:Monday,Fridayandweekends,from9to5intheafternoon.M:Mmm,Iwashopingforarestonweekends.ButI’mkindofonatightbudget,so…canyoutellmeexactlywhatIamexpectedtodo?Text6M:Iunderstandhowyoufeel,madam.Buttheresimplyisn’tanytable.Thepersonwhotookthereservationmusthaveforgottentowriteitdown.(6)Heisnew.W:ButI’veinvitedsomeveryimportantpeopletodinner!M:I’msorry.Couldyoucallthemandexplaintheproblem?I’msureyou’llfindothergoodrestaurants.
