When Perla Latorre-Suarez was a child, she remembers holding her brother’s hand in the mountainous Orocovis region in Puerto Rico where she grew up and looking up a clear night as the International Space Station (ISS) flew overhead. “That day, my parents explained it to me; this is where all my interest in space came from,” Latorre-Suarez says.
Her love was further developed by a schoolteacher who encouraged her to pursue (追求) science, a trip to Kennedy Space Center during a family vacation, and visits to the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, which University of Central Florida (UCF) manages for the U. S. National Science Foundation. Today, she is earning a master’s degree in aerospace engineering at UCF. Her current area of research is 3D printing. “My biggest goal is to be able to work on space missions, such as the Artemis moon mission,” she says. “I want to ensure astronauts’ (宇航员的) safety while exploring other planetary surfaces.”
Latorre-Suarez decided to study at UCF because of its excellent and supportive faculty (全体教师). As an excellent student, she had plenty of choices. “UCF has amazing teachers, such as Dr. (Seetha) Raghavan, who are always willing to help their students to achieve their goals,” she says. “UCF has given me the opportunity to grow as a professional and as a person.” Latorre-Suarez credits Raghavan with her pursuit of space-related research at UCF. Together they pursued 3D printing and later determined they could probably use an autonomous application (独立应用程序) method for space missions. It is something Latorre-Suarez continues to work on today because she knows it will make a difference.
“Exploring space is important because we can get many answers that we will not be able to get here on Earth,” she says. “We can get answers about the history of our solar system and understand its formation. Through these answers, we will be able to expand (增强) technologies that will benefit us here on Earth as well as contribute to further exploration.”
4. When did Latorre-Suarez find her interest in space
A. When she saw the ISS.
B. When she became a member of UCF.
C. When she visited Kennedy Space Center.
D. When she did experiments with her brother.
5. What did Latorre-Suarez want to do most in the future
A. Land on the moon.
B. Work with UCF teachers.
C. Win herself a place at UCF.
D Prevent astronauts from danger.
6. Why did Latorre-Suarez mention Raghavan in paragraph 3
A. To explain why she chose UCF.
B. To show how lucky she was to stay at UCF.
C. To describe how strict the teachers were at UCF.
D. To prove the achievements of UCF in space exploration.
7. What does Latorre-Suarez think of exploring space
A. It is still limited.
B. It develops fast.
C. It helps humanity to move forward.
D. It is a waste of both time and money.
C
Frances Connolly and her husband Patrick, were living in a rented house in Moira, County Down when, on New Year’s Day 2019, they won the EuroMillions jackpot of 114.9 million, making them the UK’s fourth biggest ever lottery (抽彩给奖) winners.
But far from heading off to shop until they dropped, or sailing off in a super yacht (游艇), the Connollys determined from the start to share their fortune. They bought a five-bed red brick house near Hartlepool and set about giving away the rest of their fortune.
The need to help others is always important to the Connollys. Before the win Patrick ran plastics company Bishop Auckland Custom Profiles, while Frances worked for years at the Aycliffe Young People’s Centre. Then Frances went back to school to get a teaching qualification (资格), before lecturing on child development at Hartlepool College of Further Education and helping students slower at learning.
After their win, the couple set up two charities (慈善机构), the PFC Trust, to help local people in Hartlepool, and the Kathleen Graham Trust, to help people in Northern Ireland, where they were both born.
Their focus has been to help people to develop new skills and gain confidence, so they donated to Hartlepool’s The Poolie Time Exchange, which offers advice on money management and exchanges of skills and knowledge.
In Northern Ireland, the Connollys bought new machines for charity workers who were making personal protective equipment as well as sending food parcels (包裹) to people living alone, and funded a befriending service for those living alone.
It’s a busy life. “I start every morning at 6 am with messages and emails,” says Frances. “Patrick makes me breakfast and then I keep working, with perhaps a break for a swim. The aim was to set up the organization so that others could run it, but during the early days everything went through us.”
8. What did the Connollys do for themselves with their fortune
A. They enjoyed an ocean trip.
B. They bought an average house.
C. They started several businesses.
D. They changed their bed for a larger one.
9. What can we learn about the Connollys
A. They were already rich before their win.
B. They really want to live an easy life.
C. They are always ready to help people in need.
D. They found it hard to share their large fortune.
10. How did the Kathleen Graham Trust help people in Northern Ireland
A. By sending food to charity groups.
B. By providing a home for the homeless.
C. By communicating with those living alone.
D. By donating new machines to charity workers.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Many locals come to the Connollys for help.
B. The Connollys are too busy to enjoy their lives.
C. The Connollys’ charity was run by themselves at first.
D. Many people offered to help the Connollys run their charity.
D
By now, most people know they should be eating more vegetables. But are there ways to get more from the vegetables you already eat A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it’s not only how much we eat, but also how we prepare them, that decides the vitamins and other nutrients that enter our body.
Many studies show that people who eat lots of vegetables have less heart disease, and eye problems and even cancer. But raw vegetables are not always best. The researchers found that 198 Germans who eat raw food were short of lycopene, the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables. “There is an idea that raw foods are always going to be better,” says Steven K. Clinton, a professor at Ohi o State University. “For fruits and vegetables, sometimes a little bit of cooking can be helpful.”
A number of factors decide how the vegetables do good to people’s health before they reach the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought. No single cooking way is best. Some nutrients are easily lost in cooking if they are cooked in different ways.
Vitamins C and B are often lost. In January, another report said that boiling was better for carrots than frying or serving them raw. Frying was the worst way to cook.
What cooked with the vegetables can also be important When the vegetables were cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients. Fat can also make the taste of vegetables better, meaning that people will eat more of them. Putting on some other things that make it taste better—a little salt—can make the food taste better.
12. The writer mainly wants to tell us that ________.
A. people should eat more vegetables
B. the way people eat vegetables is important
C. eating vegetables is good for us
D. how much vegetables one should eat
13. The people who eat the raw vegetables for a long time will ________.
A. have the eyes problems B. have heart disease
C. be in need of lycopene D. hate eating tomatoes
14. The following decide how the vegetables do good to people EXCEPT ________.
A. the place where the vegetables are grown
B. the way how the vegetables are stored
C. the way how the vegetables are prepared
D. the price at which the vegetable are sold
15. From the last paragraph, we can know ________.
A. It’s better to cook vegetables with fat
B. the more fat in the cooking, the fewer vegetables people will eat
C. It’s better to cook the vegetables without salt
D. the fat will increase the nutrition of the vegetables

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。
I live in a small but lovely neighborhood. Our house is neither large nor luxurious (奢华的), but it has a fairly big garden. My father loves his garden. He planted some seeds in it and took good care of the plants, watering them, applying fertilizer (肥料), weeding and getting rid of bugs. He was never tired of doing all that stuff. But at that time, I didn’t understand why working in the dirt excited him so much.
Unfortunately, in early May, my father was seriously injured in an accident. He had to stay in bed for a while. My mother had several business trips, so she couldn’t take care of the garden. I didn’t want my father to worry, so I said that I would take care of his garden until he recovered. I assumed that the little plants would continue to grow as long as they had water, and luckily it rained fairly often, so I didn’t think much about the garden.
One Saturday morning, my father said to me, “Christine, the vegetables should be about ready to be picked. Let’s have a salad today!” I went out to the garden and was upset to see that many of the lettuce (生菜) leaves and carrots had been half eaten by bugs. There were hundreds of bugs all over them!
I panicked for a moment but then I quietly went to the nearest supermarket to buy some vegetables. When I gave the salad to him, he said, “Oh, Christine, what a beautiful salad! I can’t believe the carrots are this big already. You must be taking very good care of my garden.” I felt a little bit guilty.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右。
2. 请按如下格式作答。
When my mum came home, she saw the bag from the supermarket in the kitchen.

I carefully made a salad and look it to my father.

When Perla Latorre-Suarez was a child, she remembers holding her brother’s hand in the mountainous Orocovis region in Puerto Rico where she grew up and looking up a clear night as the International Space Station (ISS) flew overhead. “That day, my parents explained it to me; this is where all my interest in space came from,” Latorre-Suarez says.
Her love was further developed by a schoolteacher who encouraged her to pursue (追求) science, a trip to Kennedy Space Center during a family vacation, and visits to the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, which University of Central Florida (UCF) manages for the U. S. National Science Foundation. Today, she is earning a master’s degree in aerospace engineering at UCF. Her current area of research is 3D printing. “My biggest goal is to be able to work on space missions, such as the Artemis moon mission,” she says. “I want to ensure astronauts’ (宇航员的) safety while exploring other planetary surfaces.”
Latorre-Suarez decided to study at UCF because of its excellent and supportive faculty (全体教师). As an excellent student, she had plenty of choices. “UCF has amazing teachers, such as Dr. (Seetha) Raghavan, who are always willing to help their students to achieve their goals,” she says. “UCF has given me the opportunity to grow as a professional and as a person.” Latorre-Suarez credits Raghavan with her pursuit of space-related research at UCF. Together they pursued 3D printing and later determined they could probably use an autonomous application (独立应用程序) method for space missions. It is something Latorre-Suarez continues to work on today because she knows it will make a difference.
“Exploring space is important because we can get many answers that we will not be able to get here on Earth,” she says. “We can get answers about the history of our solar system and understand its formation. Through these answers, we will be able to expand (增强) technologies that will benefit us here on Earth as well as contribute to further exploration.”
4. When did Latorre-Suarez find her interest in space
A. When she saw the ISS.
B. When she became a member of UCF.
C. When she visited Kennedy Space Center.
D. When she did experiments with her brother.
5. What did Latorre-Suarez want to do most in the future
A. Land on the moon.

C. Win herself a place at UCF.
D Prevent astronauts from danger.
6. Why did Latorre-Suarez mention Raghavan in paragraph 3
A. To explain why she chose UCF.
B. To show how lucky she was to stay at UCF.
C. To describe how strict the teachers were at UCF.
D. To prove the achievements of UCF in space exploration.
7. What does Latorre-Suarez think of exploring space

【导语】本文是记叙文。Perla Latorre-Suarez致力于研发新技术，保障宇航员在太空作业时的安全。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第一段“When Perla Latorre-Suarez was a child, she remembers holding her brother’s hand in the mountainous Orocovis region in Puerto Rico where she grew up and looking up a clear night as the International Space Station (ISS) flew overhead. “That day, my parents explained it to me; this is where all my interest in space came from,” Latorre-Suarez says.(佩拉·拉托雷-苏亚雷斯(Perla Latorre-Suarez)记得，当她还是个孩子的时候，她牵着哥哥的手，在她长大的波多黎各奥罗科维斯山区，仰望晴朗的夜晚，国际空间站(ISS)从头顶飞过。“那天，父母给我解释了；这就是我对太空的所有兴趣的来源，”拉托雷-苏亚雷斯说。)”可知，当Latorre-Suarez看到国际空间站从天上飞过时，她对太空产生了浓厚的兴趣。故选A。
2. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“‘My biggest goal is to be able to work on space missions, such as the Artemis moon mission,’ she says. ‘I want to ensure astronauts’ safety while exploring other planetary surfaces’.(“我最大的目标是能够参与太空任务，比如阿尔忒弥斯登月任务，”她说。“我想确保宇航员在探索其他行星表面时的安全。”)”可知，Latorre-Suarez最大的目标是保障宇航员在太空作业时的安全，让他们远离危险。故选D。
3. 推理判断题。第三段中的“Latorre-Suarez decided to study at UCF because of its excellent and supportive faculty (全体教师).(拉托雷-苏亚雷斯之所以决定在UCF学习，是因为UCF优秀的师资力量。) ”为本段的主旨句。下文中提到的关于Dr. (Seetha) Raghavan的内容““UCF has amazing teachers, such as Dr. (Seetha) Raghavan, who are always willing to help their students to achieve their goals,” she says. “UCF has given me the opportunity to grow as a professional and as a person.” Latorre-Suarez credits Raghavan with her pursuit of space-related research at UCF. (她说:“UCF有很多很棒的老师，比如(Seetha) Raghavan博士，他们总是愿意帮助学生实现他们的目标。”“UCF给了我成长为专业人士和个人的机会。”拉托雷-苏亚雷斯将Raghavan在UCF对太空相关研究的追求归功于她。)”是对本句的解释说明。由此可知，本段解释了Latorre-Suarez选择中佛罗里达大学的原因。故选A。
4. 推理判断题。推断。根据最后一段““Exploring space is important because we can get many answers that we will not be able to get here on Earth,” she says. “We can get answers about the history of our solar system and understand its formation. Through these answers, we will be able to expand (增强) technologies that will benefit us here on Earth as well as contribute to further exploration.”(她说:“探索太空很重要，因为我们可以得到许多在地球上无法得到的答案。”“我们可以得到关于太阳系历史的答案，并了解它的形成。通过这些答案，我们将能够扩展技术，使我们在地球上受益，并有助于进一步的探索。”)”可知，Latorre-Suarez认为太空探索可以帮助我们提高技术，更好地认识地球，同时也可以为以后更加深入的太空探索做好准备。故选C。

Frances Connolly and her husband, Patrick, were living in a rented house in Moira, County Down when, on New Year’s Day 2019, they won the EuroMillions jackpot of 114.9 million, making them the UK’s fourth biggest ever lottery (抽彩给奖) winners.
But far from heading off to shop until they dropped, or sailing off in a super yacht (游艇), the Connollys determined from the start to share their fortune. They bought a five-bed red brick house near Hartlepool and set about giving away the rest of their fortune.
The need to help others is always important to the Connollys. Before the win Patrick ran plastics company Bishop Auckland Custom Profiles, while Frances worked for years at the Aycliffe Young People’s Centre. Then Frances went back to school to get a teaching qualification (资格), before lecturing on child development at Hartlepool College of Further Education and helping students slower at learning.
After their win, the couple set up two charities (慈善机构), the PFC Trust, to help local people in Hartlepool, and the Kathleen Graham Trust, to help people in Northern Ireland, where they were both born.
Their focus has been to help people to develop new skills and gain confidence, so they donated to Hartlepool’s The Poolie Time Exchange, which offers advice on money management and exchanges of skills and knowledge.
In Northern Ireland, the Connollys bought new machines for charity workers who were making personal protective equipment as well as sending food parcels (包裹) to people living alone, and funded a befriending service for those living alone.
It’s a busy life. “I start every morning at 6 am with messages and emails,” says Frances. “Patrick makes me breakfast and then I keep working, with perhaps a break for a swim. The aim was to set up the organization so that others could run it, but during the early days everything went through us.”
8. What did the Connollys do for themselves with their fortune
A. They enjoyed an ocean trip.
B. They bought an average house.
C. They started several businesses.
D. They changed their bed for a larger one.
9. What can we learn about the Connollys
A. They were already rich before their win.
B. They really want to live an easy life.
C. They are always ready to help people in need.
D. They found it hard to share their large fortune.
10. How did the Kathleen Graham Trust help people in Northern Ireland
A. By sending food to charity groups.
B. By providing a home for the homeless.
C. By communicating with those living alone.
D. By donating new machines to charity workers.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Many locals come to the Connollys for help.
B. The Connollys are too busy to enjoy their lives.
C. The Connollys’ charity was run by themselves at first.
D. Many people offered to help the Connollys run their charity.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了英国一对夫妇喜中彩票大奖，但他们选择把大部分奖金用于做慈善。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“They bought a five-bed red brick house near Hartlepool and set about giving away the rest of their fortune.”（他们在哈特尔普尔附近买了一栋有五个床位的红砖房子，并开始捐出剩下的财产。）可知，他们用这笔钱给自己买了一个普通的红砖房子，并打算捐出剩下的钱，由此可知，康诺利一家用他们的财富为自己买了一栋普通的房子。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“The need to help others is always important to the Connollys.”（帮助他人的需要对康诺利一家来说总是很重要的。）可知，对康诺利一家来说，帮助别人是重要的，由此可知，康诺利一家总是乐于帮助有需要的人。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段内容“In Northern Ireland, the Connollys bought new machines for charity workers who were making personal protective equipment as well as sending food parcels (包裹) to people living alone, and funded a befriending service for those living alone.”（在北爱尔兰，康诺利夫妇为慈善工作者购买了新机器，这些慈善工作者正在制造个人防护设备，并向独居者发送食品包裹，并资助了一项为独居者提供交友服务的项目。）可知，凯瑟琳·格雷厄姆信托基金会为在北爱尔兰的慈善工作者购买了新机器，由此可知，凯瑟琳·格雷厄姆信托基金会通过向慈善工作者捐赠新机器来帮助北爱尔兰人民。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“It’s a busy life. “I start every morning at 6 am with messages and emails,” says Frances. “Patrick makes me breakfast and then I keep working, with perhaps a break for a swim. The aim was to set up the organization so that others could run it, but during the early days everything went through us.””（这是一种繁忙的生活。弗朗西斯说：“我每天早上6点开始发信息和电子邮件。”“帕特里克给我做早餐，然后我继续工作，也许会游泳来休息一下。目的是成立这个组织，让其他人可以管理它，但在早期，一切都经过了我们的努力。”）可知，在早期，一切都是经过了康诺利一家的努力而完成的，所以他们很忙，由此可知，从最后一段我们能推断出康诺利一家的慈善机构起初是他们自己经营的。故选C项。
D
By now, most people know they should be eating more vegetables. But are there ways to get more from the vegetables you already eat A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it’s not only how much we eat, but also how we prepare them, that decides the vitamins and other nutrients that enter our body.
Many studies show that people who eat lots of vegetables have less heart disease, and eye problems and even cancer. But raw vegetables are not always best. The researchers found that 198 Germans who eat raw food were short of lycopene, the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables. “There is an idea that raw foods are always going to be better,” says Steven K. Clinton, a professor at Ohi o State University. “For fruits and vegetables, sometimes a little bit of cooking can be helpful.”
A number of factors decide how the vegetables do good to people’s health before they reach the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought. No single cooking way is best. Some nutrients are easily lost in cooking if they are cooked in different ways.
Vitamins C and B are often lost. In January, another report said that boiling was better for carrots than frying or serving them raw. Frying was the worst way to cook.
What cooked with the vegetables can also be important When the vegetables were cooked with fat the diners can get more nutrients. Fat can also make the taste of vegetables better, meaning that people will eat more of them. Putting on some other things that make it taste better—a little salt—can make the food taste better.
12. The writer mainly wants to tell us that ________.
A. people should eat more vegetables
B. the way people eat vegetables is important
C. eating vegetables is good for us
D. how much vegetables one should eat
13. The people who eat the raw vegetables for a long time will ________.
A. have the eyes problems B. have heart disease
C. be in need of lycopene D. hate eating tomatoes
14. The following decide how the vegetables do good to people EXCEPT ________.
A. the place where the vegetables are grown
B. the way how the vegetables are stored
C. the way how the vegetables are prepared
D. the price at which the vegetable are sold
15. From the last paragraph, we can know ________.
A. It’s better to cook vegetables with fat
B. the more fat in the cooking, the fewer vegetables people will eat
C. It’s better to cook the vegetables without salt
D. the fat will increase the nutrition of the vegetables
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是决定蔬菜食用效果的一些影响因素以及推荐食用蔬菜的方法。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“By now, most people know they should be eating more vegetables. But are there ways to get more from the vegetables you already eat A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it's not only how much we eat, but also how we prepare them, that decides the vitamins and other nutrients that enter our body.(到目前为止，大多数人都知道他们应该多吃蔬菜。但是有没有办法从你已经吃过的蔬菜中获得更多呢？一项研究表明，当涉及到蔬菜时，不仅是我们吃了多少，还有我们如何准备它们，这决定了维生素和其他营养物质进入我们的身体)”及文章最后一段“When the vegetables were cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients.(当蔬菜与脂肪一起烹饪时，食客可以获得更多的营养)”可知文章说明了决定蔬菜食用效果的一些影响因素，和推荐食用蔬菜的方法。由此可推知，作者主要想告诉我们，人们食用蔬菜的方式很重要。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The researchers found that 198 Germans who eat raw food were short of lycopene, the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables.(研究人员发现，198名吃生食的德国人缺乏番茄红素，这种物质存在于西红柿和其他红色蔬菜中)”可知，长期吃生蔬菜的人需要番茄红素。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it's not only how much we eat, but also how we prepare them, that decides the vitamins and other nutrients that enter our body.(一项研究表明，说到蔬菜，不仅要看我们吃多少，还要看我们如何准备蔬菜，这决定了进入我们体内的维生素和其他营养物质)”可知蔬菜的制作方法将决定蔬菜是否对人有益；第三段“A number of factors decide how the vegetables do good to people's health before they reach the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought.(有很多因素决定了这些蔬菜在进入餐桌前对人们的健康有什么好处，包括它们在被购买之前的生长地点和储存方式)”可知蔬菜生长的地方和蔬菜储存的方式都能影响蔬菜的食用效果，文章没有提到蔬菜的价格问题，由此可知D选项“the price at which the vegetable are sold(蔬菜的售价)”不属于影响因素。故选D项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“When the vegetables were cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients.(当蔬菜与脂肪一起烹饪时，食客可以获得更多的营养)”可知当蔬菜和植物油一起烹饪时，就餐者可以获得更多的营养。由此可知，蔬菜最好和植物油一起煮。故选A项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者介绍了几个提高工作效率的方法。
【16题详解】
前文“Do you sometimes feel like you have a lot to do but very little time to do it (你是否有时会觉得有很多事情要做，但时间却很少 )”提出一个问题，后文“You are definitely having productivity problems but relax, it happens to everyone. ( 你的工作效率肯定有问题，但是放轻松，每个人都会遇到这种情况。)”说明每个人都会有工作效率低的问题，D项“你是否厌倦了落后于计划 ”继续提出效率低完不成任务的问题，后文对着两个问题给予答复，且D项句子模式与前文一致。故选D。
17题详解】
后文“Actually, small but meaningful ones really count as well. Remove the bad habits slowly and stick with those that make your work a lot easier.( 事实上，小而有意义的习惯也很重要。慢慢地改掉坏习惯，坚持那些让你的工作更容易的习惯。)”说明事实上改掉小的坏习惯也很重要，可推断，空处应是说大的坏习惯的改变，因此推断E项“许多人更喜欢从大的变化开始。”符合语境。前后是转折关系，Actually是关键词。故选E。
【18题详解】
空格处是段落标题 。根据下文“Pay close attention to the skills that help you make the most out of your work hours. If you are spending time on a specific goal, concentrate on the certain task and then you can accomplish it by the deadline.(密切关注那些能帮助你充分利用工作时间的技能。如果你花时间在一个特定的目标上，专注于某项任务，然后你可以在截止日期前完成它。)”可知，本段讲述关注有效技能，专注特定目标，可以按时完成任务，因此推断A项“专注于一项任务”为最佳标题。故选A。
【19题详解】
根据前文“If you think you can manage it yourself then it is great. Otherwise, you will have to find a work partner. He will motivate you and also do regular checkups.( 如果你认为你自己能做到，那就太好了。否则，你将不得不找一个工作伙伴。他会激励你，也会定期给你检查。)”可知，如果你不能独自完成任务就要找一个伙伴，激励你帮助你，讲述了找一个伙伴的益处，F项“他甚至可以制定目标来提高你的整体表现。”符合语境，He指代上文提到的partner，承接上文继续讲述伙伴对你得帮助，故选F。
【20题详解】
根据标题Learn to take a break.可知，本段建议学会休息，下文“However, you really need to know when to take a break. Use this time to step away from your work, enabling your mind to have a rest and return with renewed motivation and potentially new ideas. Regular breaks are actually great in your work and life, which help in reducing stress and also increase your overall productivity.(然而，你真的需要知道什么时候休息一下。利用这段时间远离你的工作，让你的大脑休息一下，带着新的动力和潜在的新想法回来。在你的工作和生活中，有规律的休息实际上是很好的，它有助于减轻压力，也能提高你的整体效率。)”讲述了休息的重要性，however表示转折，因此推断B项“乍一看这似乎有点矛盾”符合语境，说明不应该休息的观点，与下文应该休息是转折关系。故选B。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。瓷器是一种由精选的瓷土经过工艺加工而成的材料，历史悠久，作为中国传统文化的象征，是中国与外部世界经济和文化交流的重要媒介。
【36题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：瓷器是一种由精选的瓷土经过工艺加工而成的材料。动词make意为“制作”，和系动词之间没有连词，和逻辑主语material构成被动关系，且动作已完成，所以应用过去分词形式。故填made。
【37题详解】
考查比较级。句意：瓷的质量比陶器好，瓷身也比陶器漂亮。根据“than pottery”可知，此处应用形容词比较级作作定语。故填more beautiful。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意：它在英语中被称为china，因为它最初是在中国制造的，这充分说明了美丽的瓷器可以成为中国的象征。symbol和China构成所属关系，所以应用介词of表示“……的”。故填of。
【39题详解】
考查一般过去时。句意：最早的瓷器出现在商朝，但第一件真正的瓷器直到东汉才生产出来。根据“during the Shang Dynasty”可知，此处描述过去的事情，应用一般过去时。故填appeared。
【40题详解】
考查动名词。句意：制造瓷器的技术在唐朝发展起来。在介词for后应用动名词作宾语。故填creating。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：元代，中国瓷都景德镇的人们生产了青花瓷，后来成为瓷器的代表。在定语从句中缺少主语，且先行词为blue and white porcelain，所以应用关系代词which或that。故填which/that。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：它大力鼓励中国与外部世界经济和文化交流。修饰动词encourages应用副词strongly表示“强有力地”作状语。故填strongly。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意：它大力鼓励中国与外部世界的经济和文化交流。China和the outside world构成并列关系，所以应用连词and。故填and。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意：它也影响了其他国家人们的传统文化和生活方式。修饰名词culture应用形容词traditional表示“传统的”作定语。故填traditional。
【45题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：它也影响了其他国家人们的传统文化和生活方式。country意为“国家”，为可数名词，在other后应用复数形式。故填countries。

第二节（满分25分）
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。
I live in a small but lovely neighborhood. Our house is neither large nor luxurious (奢华的), but it has a fairly big garden. My father loves his garden. He planted some seeds in it and took good care of the plants, watering them, applying fertilizer (肥料), weeding and getting rid of bugs. He was never tired of doing all that stuff. But at that time, I didn’t understand why working in the dirt excited him so much.
Unfortunately, in early May, my father was seriously injured in an accident. He had to stay in bed for a while. My mother had several business trips, so she couldn’t take care of the garden. I didn’t want my father to worry, so I said that I would take care of his garden until he recovered. I assumed that the little plants would continue to grow as long as they had water, and luckily it rained fairly often, so I didn’t think much about the garden.
One Saturday morning, my father said to me, “Christine, the vegetables should be about ready to be picked. Let’s have a salad today!” I went out to the garden and was upset to see that many of the lettuce (生菜) leaves and carrots had been half eaten by bugs. There were hundreds of bugs all over them!
I panicked for a moment but then I quietly went to the nearest supermarket to buy some vegetables. When I gave the salad to him, he said, “Oh, Christine, what a beautiful salad! I can’t believe the carrots are this big already. You must be taking very good care of my garden.” I felt a little bit guilty.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右。
2. 请按如下格式作答。
When my mum came home, she saw the bag from the supermarket in the kitchen.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I carefully made a salad and look it to my father.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】When my mum came home, she saw the bag from the supermarket in the kitchen. She looked at me with a curious expression and asked, “Where did these vegetables come from ”I hesitated for a moment, feeling guilty about my secret trip to the supermarket. Finally, I confessed, “Mom, I bought them because I didn’t want Dad to worry about the garden. I didn't realize the bugs had damaged the vegetables.” My mother smiled understandingly and said,“It’s okay, Christine. Taking care of a garden is not an easy task, especially when you're doing it for the first time.” From that day on, I became more dedicated to tending the garden, researching natural ways to control pests, and seeking my father’s guidance. I decided to make another salad for my father using vegetables from our own garden.
I carefully made a salad and brought it to my father. As he took a bite, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of nervousness and anticipation. However, his eyes lit up with delight, and a smile spread across his face. Seeing his happiness, I realized that my efforts in the garden had truly paid off. After finishing his meal, I gathered my courage and confessed to my father about the bugs and the damaged crops. To my surprise, he didn’t show any signs of disappointment or anger. Instead, he smiled warmly and reassured me.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，在父亲无法照料花园的情况下，主人公尽力照顾花园，但由于虫害问题，不得不购买蔬菜来制作沙拉。尽管感到内疚，但父亲仍然对主人公的努力表示赞赏，强调重要的是关心和努力照顾花园的心意。
【详解】1.段落续写：
