【25题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词句子“Elephant waste remains nt nly a delicacy fr insects, but als attracts insectivrus birds, allwing plant seeds t spread.( 大象的粪便不仅是昆虫的美味佳肴，还吸引了insectivrus鸟类，使植物种子得以传播。)”和常识可知鸟类吃昆虫，所以划线词意为“食虫的”，和A选项“以昆虫为食”同义，故选A。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“T cpe with human-elephant cnflicts, Yunnan tk the lead in intrducing a cmmercial insurance mdel int its cmpensatin(补偿)system: lcal residents will be paid with the amunt f mney fr the crps destryed by the elephants by the insurance cmpany.

【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其第一段“The latest data shws the ppulatin f wild Asian elephants in suthwest China’s Yunnan Prvince has increased frm arund 150 t mre than 300 frm the 1980s t the end f 2021, accrding t the Natinal Frestry and Grassland Administratin.(国家林业和草原局的最新数据显示，从上世纪80年代到2021年底，中国西南部云南省的野生亚洲象数量已从150头左右增加到300多头。)”和第二段“With the grwth in the elephant ppulatin, cnflicts between humans and elephants have becme frequent.(随着大象数量的增长，人类与大象之间的冲突变得频繁。)”可知本文主要讲述随着大象数量的增长，人类与大象之间的冲突变得频繁，所以中国不断探索解决人象之间冲突的策略。故D选项“中国探索人象和谐的解决方案”符合本文主旨，故选D。

(英国一项全国旅行调查发现，2017年，行动不便的成年人比没有残疾的成年人旅游次数少了39%。然而，随着设备和城市变得更加智能，这种情况可能会改变。)”可知，划线词为指示代词that，通常指代前文的人或物，可推测在本句子指代前文提到的这一事实：行动不便的成年人更少去旅游这一社会现象。故选C项。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段二三句“The WeWalk stick has a sensr that detects hurdles abve chest level and uses vibratins (振动) t warn the user. It can be paired with a smartphne t help navigatin, and is cnnected with a vice assistant and Ggle Maps. (WeWalk手杖有一个传感器，可以检测胸部以上的障碍物，并使用振动来警告用户。它可以与智能手机配对以帮助导航，并与语音助手和谷歌地图连接。)”可知，本段主要介绍了这种手杖的工作原理。故选A项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“Ceylan, wh has been blind since birth, says that cnnecting the stick t the Internet f Things and smart city slutins makes it user-friendly. (Ceylan自出生以来就一直失明，他表示，将手杖连接到物联网和智能城市解决方案，使其易于使用。)”可知，Ceylan认为对他这样的盲人而言，这种手杖起到了作用，本段引用他说的话““As a blind persn, when I am at the Metr statin I dn’t knw which is my exit ... I dn’t knw which bus is appraching ... which stres are arund me. That kind f infrmatin can be prvided with the WeWalk,” he says.(“作为一个盲人，当我在地铁站时，我不知道哪个是我的出口……我不知道哪辆公共汽车来了。我周围有哪些商店?这类信息可以通过WeWalk提供。”)”也是进一步解释他在段首提出的智能手杖有价值这一观点。故选A项。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句““But they are very expensive ... they’re nt ging t be available t the vast majrity f disabled peple,” she added. (她补充道：“但它们非常昂贵…绝大多数残疾人都负担不起。”)”可知，这位专家的话语表明这种手杖的劣势是价格太贵。故选D项。

Or maybe, if yu’re like mst peple, yu simply d nthing. After all, we have a tendency t prefer the status qu (现状), and fcus mre n the ptential lsses invlved with change rather than the ptential benefits.
But here’s a simpler strategy: When yu’re indecisive abut a big life decisin, chse the path f change. That’s the takeaway f research recently published by Steven Levitt, an ecnmist at the University f Chicag.
Fr the study, Levitt asked peple wh were facing tugh decisins t flip(抛) a digital cin n the website FreaknmicsExperiments.cm. The cin tsses were randmized, with ne side representing change, the ther status qu. The study asked mre than 20,000 participants t make whichever decisin the cin tss directed, and then reprt back n hw things played ut after tw and six mnths.
Of curse, nt everyne fllwed thrugh. The tw-mnth survey fund that participants chse change less frequently than they had initially predicted they wuld. After six mnths, hwever, this tendency tward inactin disappeared. But mst surprising were the results n well-being. At bth the tw and six-mnth marks, mst peple wh chse change reprted feeling happier, better ff, and that they had made the crrect decisin.
The study had sme limitatins. One is that its participants weren’t selected randmly. Anther limitatin is that participants whse decisin didn’t play ut well might have been less likely t reprt back n their status after tw and six mnths. Still, the study des suggest that peple wh are n the edge f a tugh decisin are prbably better ff ging with change. Levitt isn’t suggesting yu flip a cin t make all decisins. But cin-flipping des seem t have sme benefits. Levitt ntes that sme peple might prefer giving in t their fate t randmness in rder t avid regret. But yu can als use randmness a bit mre sensibly. When facing a tugh decisin, yu culd flip a cin and, upn seeing the utcme, ntice whether yu feel relief r fright. If yu feel relieved, that’s prbably the path yu shuld chse.

【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The latest data shws the ppulatin f wild Asian elephants in suthwest China’s Yunnan Prvince has increased frm arund 150 t mre than 300 frm the 1980s t the end f 2021, accrding t the Natinal Frestry and Grassland Administratin.(国家林业和草原局的最新数据显示，从上世纪80年代到2021年底，中国西南部云南省的野生亚洲象数量已从150头左右增加到300多头。)”和第二段“With the grwth in the elephant ppulatin, cnflicts between humans and elephants have becme frequent.(随着大象数量的增长，人类与大象之间的冲突变得频繁。)”由此可知大象数量的增加是为了引出本文的话题随着大象数量的增长，人类与大象之间的冲突变得频繁。也就是人和大象之间的冲突，故选B。
【25题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词句子“Elephant waste remains nt nly a delicacy fr insects, but als attracts insectivrus birds, allwing plant seeds t spread.( 大象的粪便不仅是昆虫的美味佳肴，还吸引了insectivrus鸟类，使植物种子得以传播。)”和常识可知鸟类吃昆虫，所以划线词意为“食虫的”，和A选项“以昆虫为食”同义，故选A。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“T cpe with human-elephant cnflicts, Yunnan tk the lead in intrducing a cmmercial insurance mdel int its cmpensatin(补偿)system: lcal residents will be paid with the amunt f mney fr the crps destryed by the elephants by the insurance cmpany.

【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其第一段“The latest data shws the ppulatin f wild Asian elephants in suthwest China’s Yunnan Prvince has increased frm arund 150 t mre than 300 frm the 1980s t the end f 2021, accrding t the Natinal Frestry and Grassland Administratin.(国家林业和草原局的最新数据显示，从上世纪80年代到2021年底，中国西南部云南省的野生亚洲象数量已从150头左右增加到300多头。)”和第二段“With the grwth in the elephant ppulatin, cnflicts between humans and elephants have becme frequent.(随着大象数量的增长，人类与大象之间的冲突变得频繁。)”可知本文主要讲述随着大象数量的增长，人类与大象之间的冲突变得频繁，所以中国不断探索解决人象之间冲突的策略。故D选项“中国探索人象和谐的解决方案”符合本文主旨，故选D。

(英国一项全国旅行调查发现，2017年，行动不便的成年人比没有残疾的成年人旅游次数少了39%。然而，随着设备和城市变得更加智能，这种情况可能会改变。)”可知，划线词为指示代词that，通常指代前文的人或物，可推测在本句子指代前文提到的这一事实：行动不便的成年人更少去旅游这一社会现象。故选C项。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段二三句“The WeWalk stick has a sensr that detects hurdles abve chest level and uses vibratins (振动) t warn the user. It can be paired with a smartphne t help navigatin, and is cnnected with a vice assistant and Ggle Maps. (WeWalk手杖有一个传感器，可以检测胸部以上的障碍物，并使用振动来警告用户。它可以与智能手机配对以帮助导航，并与语音助手和谷歌地图连接。)”可知，本段主要介绍了这种手杖的工作原理。故选A项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“Ceylan, wh has been blind since birth, says that cnnecting the stick t the Internet f Things and smart city slutins makes it user-friendly. (Ceylan自出生以来就一直失明，他表示，将手杖连接到物联网和智能城市解决方案，使其易于使用。)”可知，Ceylan认为对他这样的盲人而言，这种手杖起到了作用，本段引用他说的话““As a blind persn, when I am at the Metr statin I dn’t knw which is my exit ... I dn’t knw which bus is appraching ... which stres are arund me. That kind f infrmatin can be prvided with the WeWalk,” he says.(“作为一个盲人，当我在地铁站时，我不知道哪个是我的出口……我不知道哪辆公共汽车来了。我周围有哪些商店?这类信息可以通过WeWalk提供。”)”也是进一步解释他在段首提出的智能手杖有价值这一观点。故选A项。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句““But they are very expensive ... they’re nt ging t be available t the vast majrity f disabled peple,” she added. (她补充道：“但它们非常昂贵…绝大多数残疾人都负担不起。”)”可知，这位专家的话语表明这种手杖的劣势是价格太贵。故选D项。

After all, we have a tendency t prefer the status qu (现状), and fcus mre n the ptential lsses invlved with change rather than the ptential benefits.
But here’s a simpler strategy: When yu’re indecisive abut a big life decisin, chse the path f change. That’s the takeaway f research recently published by Steven Levitt, an ecnmist at the University f Chicag.
Fr the study, Levitt asked peple wh were facing tugh decisins t flip(抛) a digital cin n the website FreaknmicsExperiments.cm. The cin tsses were randmized, with ne side representing change, the ther status qu. The study asked mre than 20,000 participants t make whichever decisin the cin tss directed, and then reprt back n hw things played ut after tw and six mnths.
Of curse, nt everyne fllwed thrugh. The tw-mnth survey fund that participants chse change less frequently than they had initially predicted they wuld. After six mnths, hwever, this tendency tward inactin disappeared. But mst surprising were the results n well-being. At bth the tw and six-mnth marks, mst peple wh chse change reprted feeling happier, better ff, and that they had made the crrect decisin.
The study had sme limitatins. One is that its participants weren’t selected randmly. Anther limitatin is that participants whse decisin didn’t play ut well might have been less likely t reprt back n their status after tw and six mnths. Still, the study des suggest that peple wh are n the edge f a tugh decisin are prbably better ff ging with change. Levitt isn’t suggesting yu flip a cin t make all decisins. But cin-flipping des seem t have sme benefits. Levitt ntes that sme peple might prefer giving in t their fate t randmness in rder t avid regret. But yu can als use randmness a bit mre sensibly. When facing a tugh decisin, yu culd flip a cin and, upn seeing the utcme, ntice whether yu feel relief r fright. If yu feel relieved, that’s prbably the path yu shuld chse.

Over the years, Mimi had becme an example f psitivity fr her family. It was nt a title she earned withut effrt, hwever.

Leading by example, Mimi taught her daughter just hw much ne culd achieve with a psitive attitude.
And bviusly she had taken the same apprach in her relatinship with her grandchildren as well. Befre starting her adventure with Max and Lily n that ht July afternn, Mimi heard the ice-cream man’s bell frm her beach chair.

They walked blck after blck. Nt knwing which directin the truck had taken, they had t make their best guess abut where t search. The kids’ tiny legs were tired, but they went n, cntinuing the chant, “Never give up! Never give up!”

【答案】 After abut twenty minutes f walking Max’s faith started t get shaken in the burning sun. He wndered ut lud, “Maybe we shuld quit. We have been walking pretty far and haven’t seen the truck yet.” With that, he cllapsed, resting his aching legs and rubbing his sre feet. Mimi bent ver and patted him gently n the shulder. Smiling, she cmfrted the by, “Max, remember: winners never quit, and quitters never win”. “Yeah! Never give up!” Lily agreed. Max lked up, thught fr a while and jumped t his feet. “Yu are right. Let’s hurry!” And s they marched n.
Just tw blcks later, they fund it. The ice-cream truck was parked just arund the crner, shining brilliantly in the sunlight, as if waiting t reward the three adventurers with a mst generus treat fr their patience and determinatin. “Finally!” Max cried at this sight, thrwing a fist in the air, while Lily screamed with excitement.

They wuld be ready fr any challenges upn hearing these wrds. S never give up; yur ice cream truck may be just a blck away.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Mimi是她家人一个积极向上榜样，面对早年的遭遇，她足够坚强，每天都去寻找快乐，永不放弃，她告诉女儿一个人如果有积极的态度，可以取得多大的成就，她在对待孙辈的关系上也采取了同样的方法，在七月炎热的下午Mimi带着Max和Lily寻找冰激凌车，虽然冰激凌已经开走了，但是Mimi告诉他们不要放弃，于是他们一个街区一个街区的，边喊“永不放弃”边搜索冰激凌车。
【详解】1.段落续写：
