Susan Tsang’s jurney t becming a field bilgist is as uncnventinal as it is inspiring. Grwing up in New Yrk City, Susan spent fur hurs daily n cmmute (通勤) t schl, leaving little time fr utdr explratin. It made her an unlikely candidate fr a career in field bilgy.
Susan’s enthusiasm fr the natural wrld was fueled during a visit t the American Museum f Natural Histry. The dinsaur fssils (化石) awakened her desire t explre nature, which eventually led her t pursue a PhD prgram fcused n bat bilgy.
Susan’s first field explratin was t Indnesia, with the task f catching wild bats. With her advisr unable t help, Susan teamed up with Sigit, an experienced lcal researcher. They excitedly set up net s fr trapping bats near a waterfall. While preparing their equipment, they discvered a bamb structure leaking fresh water. Thinking it might be useful fr their base camp, they tried t fix it, nly t have water erupt everywhere, saking (浸湿) them cmpletely. Unfrtunately, a strm was appraching. Realizing their day was lst, they walked back t base camp. They talked and laughed, frming a deep bnd.
This adventure prvided Susan with nt nly practical skills but als an invaluable lessn abut adaptability and teamwrk. It enhanced the significance f practical experience. She recgnized that true understanding cmes frm directly bserving the subjects f study — views that cannt be gained nly frm textbks. Over the years, whenever faced with dubts regarding her capability; she remembers what her advisr tld her abut the experience, “The first day yu came back, cmpletely wet, yet genuinely happy. The next day yu went right back ut. That’s when I knew this is where yu truly belnged.”
Susan Tsang’s jurney illustrates the transfrmative pwer f experience and perseverance. Frm a city girl t a cmmitted field bilgist, Susan’s success highlights the imprtance f pursuing ne’s enthusiasm, n matter the dds.
24．What inspired Susan’s interest fr the natural wrld?
A．A museum visit.
B．Her daily trip t schl.
C．A field explratin.
D．Her childhd educatin.
25．What des paragraph 3 mainly describe abut Susan’s first field experience?
A．Its bjective.B．Its discvery.
C．Its apprach.D．Its challenge.
26．Hw did the trip t Indnesia influence Susan?
A．She changed her understanding f nature.
B．It brught her dubts abut her capability.
C．She develped a sense f career belnging.
D．It deepened knwledge gained in the bk.
27．What accunted fr Susan’s change?
A．The pwer f passin.
B．The pursuit f perfectin.
C．The return t the wild.
D．The cntributin t bilgy.
Cmmunity and envirnmental grups near the petrchemical (石化产品) plants have lng argued that it is unfair that places such as the Hustn shipping channel, the upper Ohi Valley and the area near the church in suthern Luisiana knwn as “Cancer Alley” have high cncentratins f plluting petrchemical facilities in neighbrhds that are ecnmically and plitically ignred.
“They are lw-incme, minrity cmmunities that ften are sitting right in the same spt where we’ve seen histric prejudice by facilities fr years n years,” Beynd Petrchemicals Campaign Executive Heather Tney said.
“When yu see industry cntinually identifying yur cmmunity as a sacrifice s that the rest f the wrld can have their plastic frk with their takeut, it begs the questin, are we really fcusing n the health and well-being f all f ur citizens?” Tney asked.
She jined representatives frm fence-line cmmunities t the latest United Natins negtiatins n a glbal plastics treaty (条约) in Busan, Suth Krea, late last mnth. Thse talks ended withut an agreement fr a treaty, yet anther rund f talks is scheduled fr 2025. The treaty negtiatrs are cnsidering a range f plicy actins t limit the envirnmental and human health damage frm plastic waste, including imprvements t waste cllectin, the remval f the mst harmful plastics and ways t bst the unacceptable lw rates f plastic recycling. But fr the peple living near petrchemical plants, ne plicy apprach is far mre imprtant. “We have t get t a place where we’re turning ff the tap r at least turning dwn the prductin t deal with the plastic waste we have and stp creating as much,” Tney said. “Hnestly, this is nt a situatin we can recycle ur way ut f.”
A prpsed cap n plastic prductin prved t be the mst difficult sticking pint in the negtiatins, as the petrchemical industry and il-prducing natins such as Saudi Arabia bjected t it. But Tney and her clleagues frm fence-line cmmunities remarked, “The talks have given us a sense that a strng and effective treaty culd ptentially ease the pllutin burden we face due t plastics.”
28．What is the main cncern f peple near the petrchemical plants?
A．The histric prejudice.B．The high cst f living.
C．The lack f jb pprtunities.D．The severe neighbrhd pllutin.
29．Why are petrchemical plants lcated in certain cmmunities accrding t Tney?
A．T earn lcal gvernments’ supprt.B．T take advantage f frgtten areas.
C．T enhance the cnvenience f takeut.D．T stimulate the grwth f plastic industry.
30．What des Tney think is the mst imprtant plicy?
A．Raising recycling rates.B．Banning harmful plastics.
C．Imprving waste cllectin.D．Limiting new plastic prductin.
31．Hw d the fence-line cmmunities feel abut the prspect f the negtiatins?
A．Hpeful.B．Dubtful.C．Pessimistic.D．Overjyed.
Cral adaptatin t cean warming and marine heatwaves will likely be verwhelmed withut rapid reductins in glbal greenhuse gas emissins, warn an internatinal team f scientists. Led by Dr. Liam Lachs f Newcastle University, the study indicates that cral heat tlerance adaptatin via natural selectin culd keep pace with cean warming if the Paris Agreement cmmitments are realized, limiting glbal warming t 2℃.
The researchers studied crals in Palau, develping an ec-evlutinary simulatin mdel that incrprates thermal and evlutinary bilgy data, as well as eclgy. Published in Science, the study simulates the cnsequences f glbal develpment and fssil fuel usage scenaris created by the Intergvernmental Panel n Climate Change.
Prf. Peter Mumby, a c-authr, ntes that withut Paris Agreement cmmitments, the wrld culd warm by 3-5 degrees by century’s end, making natural selectin insufficient fr the survival f sensitive cral species. “We can still have fairly healthy crals in the future, but this requires mre aggressive reductins in glbal emissins and strategic reef management,” he says.
Dr. Lachs explains that with current plicies, we are n track fr 3°C warming, where natural selectin fr heat tlerance culd determine cral survival. “Frm ur mdeling, we expect prfund reductins in reef health and an elevated risk f lcal extinctin fr thermally sensitive species,” he adds, acknwledging uncertainty in cral “evlvability”.
Dr. James Guest, anther c-authr, stresses the urgent need fr climate-smart management ptins. “We need actins that maximize genetic adaptatin ptential and explre increasing adaptatin likelihd in wild ppulatins,” he says, suggesting targeted assisted evlutin interventins t imprve heat tlerance thrugh selective breeding.
Cral reefs, remarkably diverse and crucial marine ecsystems, culd see sme ffset in prjected lss f functining and bidiversity if rapid climate actin is achieved, accrding t the study’s mdels. “Genetic adaptatin culd play a rle in preserving cral reef ecsystems, but nly if we take immediate and significant steps t address climate change,” Dr. Lachs cncludes.
32．What is the authr’s attitude twards cral adaptatin?
A．Neutral.B．OverwhelmedC．Cncerned.D．Indifferent.
33．What is the purpse f develping ec-evlutinary simulatin mdel in the study?
A．T illustrate the interdependence between gvernments and measures taken t prtect the ecsystem.
B．T make a simulatin f pssible effects f glbal warming n cral survival.
C．T prvide evidence fr effects f implementing the Paris Agreement cmmitments.
D．T supprt the argument that crals are dying ut.
34．Which f the fllwing is true accrding t the passage?
A．Uncertainty is evitable if nature takes its curse.
B．Paris Agreement cmmitments have wrked well t prtect the bidiversity in the ecsystem.
C．The survival f diverse cral reefs relies heavily n climate actin.
D．Natural selectin might be adequate fr cral reefs with lw heat tlerance t survive.
35．What is the purpse f the passage?
A．T call fr public attentin t the preservatin f cean bidiversity.
B．T persuade bth individuals and rganizatins t prtect the cral reefs.
C．T appeal fr rapid actin t prtect the ecsystem.
D．T urge immediate evlutin interventins t prtect cral diversity.
Are yu lking fr a huseplant that serves as a dramatic backgrund while purifying the air? Give Majesty Palm a try. Here are sme tips t help yu plant and take care f it.
Guarantee prper light. Majesty Palm is used t living under bigger trees in its natural habitat in Madagascar, making it tlerate indirect light. 36 . Therefre, putting it near a sunny windw t btain enugh indirect light wuld be yur greatest bet.
Keep the sil wet. Grwing it in prly draining (排水的) sil that has plenty f clay is highly recmmended. Hwever, thugh it likes wet cnditins, it will eventually rt if the rts stay cnstantly belw the surface f water. 37 .
Keep the air humid. The Majesty Palm belngs t trpical plants, which requires humid air. 38 . If yu happen t live in a hme with cld, dry air, yu can still grw it by keeping a humidifier in that rm.
39 . Just like many ther plants, Majesty Palm can grw better if yu fertilize it prperly. Simply fertilize it in spring and summer. Once winter cmes with cler and darker cnditins, yu d nt need t fertilize it at all.
Rept when necessary. Althugh staying inside the living rm all the time, yur Majesty Palm can grw big and the pt wn’t be able t hld it. 40 . Yu just need t increase the pt size by 2 inches and water it tw days befre reptting s that the sil becmes lse and it’s ready fr the prcess.
A．Feed it apprpriately
B．Select fertilizers carefully
C．Then, it is time t change the cntainer
D．It has t learn hw t survive in such areas
E．In shrt, extra water must be able t escape

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
In Cngress, July 4, 1776
When in the Curse f human events, it becmes necessary fr ne peple t disslve the plitical bnds which have cnnected them with anther, and t assume amng the Pwers f the earth, the separate and equal statin t which the Laws f Nature and f Nature’s gd entitle them, a decent respect t the pinins f mankind requires that they shuld d 56 the causes which impel them t the separatin.
We h 57 these truths t be self-evident, that all men are created e 58 , that they are endwed by their Creatr with certain unalienable R 59 , that amng these are life, L 60 , and the pursuit f Happiness.
That t secure these rights, g 61 are instituted amng Men, deriving their just pwers frm the cnsent f the gverned.
That whenever any frm f Gvernment becmes destructive f these ends, it is the Right f the P 62 t alter r t ablish it, and t institute new gvernment, l 63 its fundatin n such principles and rganizing its pwers in such f 64 , as t them shall seem mst likely t effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Gvernments lng established shuld nt be changed fr light and transient causes; and accrdingly all experience has shwn, that mankind are mre dispsed t suffer, while evils are sufferable, than t right themselves by ablishing the frms t which they are accustmed.

My friend invited me t a trapeze (高空秋千) class. I was dubtful because f a lack f curage and a shrt f self-cnfidence, but her enthusiasm and assurances f strict safety rules wn me ver.
I had been fearful f heights since elementary schl and aviding my fear f heights became secnd nature. But here I was, at age twenty-six, facing my fear f heights in a rather extreme way. I had cme arund t the idea f trying trapeze. I figured it wasn’t much different frm swinging (舞动) n the mnkey bars as a kid. One difficulty I didn’t expect was the ladder (梯子). In rder t reach the trapeze, I had t climb up a twenty-tw-ft ladder.
I culd hear ne f my classmates expressing her impatience with my slw climb up the ladder. “If she’s afraid f heights, why did she sign up fr a trapeze class?” Hwever, my friend was at the tp f the ladder, trying t encurage me. Besides, his distractin techniques helped t take my mind ff my dangerus task. I fund a rhythm(节奏) and kept ging. With a slw and steady pace, I made it t the tp. The cheers frm my classmates rang ut belw.
An instructr tld me t step t the edge f the platfrm. He reminded me f the safety rules, including the net belw that wuld catch me at the bttm. He als asked me t listen t the directins while in the air, s I culd perfrm a trick.
As the instructr cunted dwn, I tk a deep breath and pushed ff the platfrm, swinging back and frth. At that mment, I lst awareness f time and space. Frtunately, the instructr’s vice came ver the ludspeaker, giving me step-by-step instructins fr perfrming a trick. Instead f dubting my inability t perfrm the trick, I tk his directins ne step at a time.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
During my flight n the trapeze, my fear didn’t cmpletely leave me.

【解析】24．细节理解题。根据第二段“Susan’s enthusiasm fr the natural wrld was fueled during a visit t the American Museum f Natural Histry. The dinsaur fssils (化石) awakened her desire t explre nature, which eventually led her t pursue a PhD prgram fcused n bat bilgy. (Susan对自然世界的热情是在参观美国自然历史博物馆时被点燃的。恐龙化石唤醒了她探索自然的欲望，这最终促使她攻读专注于蝙蝠生物学的博士学位)”可知，一次博物馆参观激发了Susan对自然世界的兴趣。故选A项。
25．主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“With her advisr unable t help, Susan teamed up with Sigit, an experienced lcal researcher. They excitedly set up net s fr trapping bats near a waterfall. While preparing their equipment, they discvered a bamb structure leaking fresh water. Thinking it might be useful fr their base camp, they tried t fix it, nly t have water erupt everywhere, saking (浸湿) them cmpletely. Unfrtunately, a strm was appraching. Realizing their day was lst, they walked back t base camp.(由于她的导师无法提供帮助，苏珊与当地一位经验丰富的研究员西格特合作。他们兴奋地在瀑布附近布下捕捉蝙蝠的网。在准备设备时，他们发现了一个漏水的竹结构。他们认为这可能对他们的大本营有用，就试图修理它，结果到处都是水，把他们完全浸湿了。不幸的是，一场暴风雨即将来临。意识到这一天已经完了，他们走回了大本营)”可知，本段讲述了Susan首次去印尼野外探险抓蝙蝠，在准备设备时遇到竹子结构漏水弄湿自己，又遇暴风雨等情况，说明这次经历充满挑战。所以第三段主要描述了Susan首次野外经历的挑战。故选D项。
26．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Over the years, whenever faced with dubts regarding her capability; she remembers what her advisr tld her abut the experience, ‘The first day yu came back, cmpletely wet, yet genuinely happy.

29．推理判断题。根据第三段“When yu see industry cntinually identifying yur cmmunity as a sacrifice s that the rest f the wrld can have their plastic frk with their takeut, it begs the questin, are we really fcusing n the health and well-being f all f ur citizens?(当你看到行业不断将你的社区视为一种牺牲，以便世界其他地方可以用塑料叉子吃外卖时，这就引出了一个问题，我们真的关注我们所有公民的健康和福祉吗？)”和第一段内容可推断，石化厂利用了这些被遗忘的区域来建厂。故选B。
30．推理判断题。根据第四段““We have t get t a place where we’re turning ff the tap r at least turning dwn the prductin t deal with the plastic waste we have and stp creating as much,” Tney said.(托尼说：“我们必须关闭水龙头，或者至少降低产量，以处理我们现有的塑料垃圾，并停止制造这么多塑料垃圾。”)”可知，托尼认为最重要的政策是限制新的塑料生产，而不是提高回收率、禁止有害塑料或者改善垃圾收集。故选D。
31．推理判断题。根据第五段“But Tney and her clleagues frm fence-line cmmunities remarked, “The talks have given us a sense that a strng and effective treaty culd ptentially ease the pllutin burden we face due t plastics. ”(但托尼和她的同事们表示，“会谈让我们感觉到，一项强有力的有效条约可能会减轻我们因塑料而面临的污染负担。”)”并结合文章第四段“Thse talks ended withut an agreement fr a treaty, yet anther rund f talks is scheduled fr 2025.(会谈结束时没有达成协议，而另一轮会谈定于2025年举行)”可推断，fence-line社区居民对谈判的前景是抱有希望的。故选A。

【分析】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个国际科学家小组警告说，如果不迅速减少全球温室气体的排放，珊瑚对海洋变暖和海洋热浪的适应可能会不堪重负，如果实现快速的气候行动，可以挽救珊瑚礁的功能和生物多样性。
【解析】32．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Cral adaptatin t cean warming and marine heatwaves will likely be verwhelmed withut rapid reductins in glbal greenhuse gas emissins, warn an internatinal team f scientists. Led by Dr. Liam Lachs f Newcastle University, the study indicates that cral heat tlerance adaptatin via natural selectin culd keep pace with cean warming if the Paris Agreement cmmitments are realized, limiting glbal warming t 2℃.(一组国际科学家小组警告说，如果不迅速减少全球温室气体的排放，珊瑚对海洋变暖和海洋热浪的适应可能会不堪重负。由Newcastle大学的Liam博士领导的这项研究表明，如果实现《巴黎协定》的承诺，将全球变暖限制在2℃以内，珊瑚通过自然选择进行的耐热性适应，可以跟上海洋变暖的步伐)”可知，作者通过专家小组的警告表明，如果不迅速减少全球温室气体的排放，珊瑚对海洋变暖和海洋热浪的适应可能会不堪重负，因此作者对珊瑚的适应能力是担心的，故选C。
33．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The researchers studied crals in Palau, develping an ec-evlutinary simulatin mdel that incrprates thermal and evlutinary bilgy data, as well as eclgy. Published in Science, the study simulates the cnsequences f glbal develpment and fssil fuel usage scenaris created by the Intergvernmental Panel n Climate Change.(研究人员研究了Palau的珊瑚，开发了一个生态净化模拟模型，该模型结合了热和进化生物学数据以及生态学。该研究发表在《科学》杂志上，模拟了气候变化政府间专门委员会创建的全球发展和化石燃料使用的情景的后果)”可知，该模型模拟了全球发展和化石燃料使用的情景的后果，故其目的是为了模拟全球变暖对珊瑚生存的可能影响，故选B。
34．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Prf. Peter Mumby, a c-authr, ntes that withut Paris Agreement cmmitments, the wrld culd warm by 3-5 degrees by century’s end, making natural selectin insufficient fr the survival f sensitive cral species. “We can still have fairly healthy crals in the future, but this requires mre aggressive reductins in glbal emissins and strategic reef management,” he says.(合著者Peter Mumby教授指出，如果没有《巴黎协定》的承诺，到本世纪末，世界可能会变暖3-5度，使自然选择不足以维持敏感珊瑚物种的生存。他说到：“未来我们仍然可以拥有相当健康的珊瑚，但这需要更积极地减少全球排放和战略性的珊瑚礁管理”)”可知，未来可以拥有相当健康的珊瑚，但这需要人们更积极地减少全球排放和战略性的珊瑚礁管理，故各种珊瑚礁的生存很大程度上依赖于气候行动，故选C。
35．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Cral reefs, remarkably diverse and crucial marine ecsystems, culd see sme ffset in prjected lss f functining and bidiversity if rapid climate actin is achieved, accrding t the study’s mdels.(根据该研究的模型，珊瑚礁是一个非常多样化和重要的海洋生态系统，如果实现快速的气候行动，预计其功能和生物多样性的丧失可能会得到一些抵消)”可知，文章首段提出了珊瑚面临的问题，本段则提到如果实现快速的气候行动，可以挽救珊瑚礁的功能和生物多样性，故文章的目的是为了督促立即采取行动干预措施，以保护珊瑚的多样性，故选D。
【答案】36．G 37．E 38．F 39．A 40．C
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何种植室内植物“陛下棕榈”。
【解析】36．根据上文“Majesty Palm is used t living under bigger trees in its natural habitat in Madagascar, making it tlerate indirect light.(在马达加斯加的自然栖息地，陛下棕榈习惯生活在较大的树下，这使它能够忍受间接的光线)”以及后文“Therefre, putting it near a sunny windw t btain enugh indirect light wuld be yur greatest bet.(因此，把它放在阳光充足的窗户附近，以获得足够的间接光线将是你最好的选择)”可知，本句与上文构成转折，指出陛下棕榈并不喜欢黑暗，要放在阳光充足的地方。故G选项“但这并不意味着它喜欢生活在黑暗的地方”符合语境，故选G。
37．根据上文“Keep the sil wet. Grwing it in prly draining (排水的) sil that has plenty f clay is highly recmmended. Hwever, thugh it likes wet cnditins, it will eventually rt if the rts stay cnstantly belw the surface f water.(保持土壤湿润。强烈建议在排水不充分的土壤中种植，土壤中有大量的粘土。然而，尽管它喜欢潮湿的环境，但如果根部一直停留在水面以下，它最终会腐烂)”可知，上文提到根部一直停留在水面以下，它最终会腐烂，但是喜欢潮湿，本句为本段最后一句，故总结其如何浇水的问题。故E选项“简而言之，多余的水必须能够逸出”符合语境，故选E。
38．根据上文“Keep the air humid. The Majesty Palm belngs t trpical plants, which requires humid air.(保持空气湿润。陛下棕榈属于热带植物，需要潮湿的空气)”可知，前后文提到需要潮湿的空气。由此可知，它不耐旱。故F选项“也就是说，它不是一种耐旱植物”符合语境，故选F。
39．根据后文“Just like many ther plants, Majesty Palm can grw better if yu fertilize it prperly. Simply fertilize it in spring and summer. Once winter cmes with cler and darker cnditins, yu d nt need t fertilize it at all.(就像许多其他植物一样，如果你给它适当的施肥，它也能长得更好。只需在春季和夏季施肥即可。一旦冬天来了，天气又冷又暗，你就根本不需要施肥了)”可知，本段主要说明了如何施肥的问题——需要适当施肥，A选项Feed it apprpriately对应后文fertilize it prperly。故A选项“适当喂养”符合语境，故选A。
40．根据上文“Rept when necessary. Althugh staying inside the living rm all the time, yur Majesty Palm can grw big and the pt wn’t be able t hld it.(必要时换盆。虽然一直呆在客厅里，但陛下棕榈会长得很大，花盆也装不下了)”可知，上文提到花盆装不下，结合“必要时换盆”可知需要换容器了，故C选项“然后，是时候换容器了”符合语境，故选C。

【分析】《独立宣言》（The Declaratin f Independence），是北美洲十三个英属殖民地宣告自大不列颠王国独立，并宣明此举正当性之文告。《独立宣言》由四部分组成：第一部分为前言，阐述了宣言的目的；第二部分阐述政治体制思想，即自然权利学说和主权在民思想；第三部分历数英国压迫北美殖民地人民的条条罪状，说明殖民地人民是在忍无可忍的情况下被迫拿起武器的，力争独立的合法性和正义性；第四部分，也就是在宣言的最后一部分，美利坚庄严宣告独立。文章即《独立宣言》的第一部分。
【解析】56．考查动词。分析句子可知，此处用动词做谓语，且有字母d开头，加之标题是THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE（独立宣言），故自然而然会想到declaratin的动词形式declare（宣布，宣告）。带进语境后发现符合。故填declare。
57．考查动词。分析句子We h 2 these truths可知，缺少动词做谓语。由该句句子翻译“我们……真理”且必须是h开头的动词，便想到了hld（持有，掌握）。带进语境符合，故填hld。
58．考查形容词。看到句子all men are created e 3 时，会自然而然想到“人人生来平等”这句话。“平等”equal刚好符合字母e开头，故填equal。
59．考查名词。句意：他们被造物主赋予了某些不可剥夺的权利。由句子中的are endwed by their Creatr（被造物主赋予）可联，空格处所缺意思应该是“权利”，加之是字母r开头，故填rights。
60．考查名词。分析句子可知，空格处是名词，且应该与空前的life和空后的happiness相呼应。《独立宣言》讲的是人人都有追求生命、自由和幸福的权利。由空格处是字母L开头可知，应该填Liberty（自由）。
61．考查名词。句意：为了保障这些权利，人类才在他们之间建立政府……分析句子可知，空格处是名词。由翻译“为了保障这些权利，……在人类当中被建立”，加上应该是字母g开头，故想到了“gvernment（政府）”，带入语境符合，系动词是复数，故填gvernments。
62．考查名词。句意：如果遇有任何一种形式的政府变成损害这些目的的，那么，人民就有权利来改变它或废除它，以建立新的政府。由句中the Right f the P 7 （……的权利）联想，加之该处是名词，故应该是“人民的权利”。带入语境符合P开头。故填Peple。
63．考查非谓语动词。空格处缺少谓语，且要能够与宾语fundatin（基础）相匹配，加之是字母l开头，故想到了lay（搁放，放置）。由于此处是非谓语，并且与主语之间是主动的关系，故填laying。
64．考查名词。由于空格处应该是名词，加之由文章中and rganizing its pwers in such f 9 （组织它的权利以……）的翻译可联想，应该填“形式”。字母是f开头，故想到frm。带入语境符合，故填frm。
65．考查名词。由文章中it is their right, it is their d 10 （这是他们的权利，也是他们的义务……）的翻译联想，且要与right（权利）相对应，故而想到应该是“义务”。字母是d开头，故而想到duty。带入语境符合，故而填duty。
【点睛】在第3小题的句子all men are created equal 中，注意不要写成equally。因为这里的equal是不是用来修饰created的，而是用来修饰all men的，讲的是“每个人都是平等的”。

【分析】
本文以人物为线索展开，文章主要讲述了作者的一次高空秋千体验，她因为过去的恐高症一度不敢尝试，但是好友的鼓励和安全规则的保障让她决定尝试。虽然一开始走梯子时遇到了困难，但最终还是完成了任务。这次体验让她从中学习到了如何克服恐惧、相信自己，也让她更愿意尝试新事物。最终，她完成了其他类似的挑战，并希望能够一步一步地走出自己的舒适区。
【详解】
1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“在高空秋千的过程中，我的恐惧并没有完全离开我。”可知，第一段可描写作者第一次完成高空秋千过程中的紧张状态。
②由第二段首句内容“这段经历开启了我看待自己和应对其他挑战的新方式。”可知，第二段可描写作者在完成高空秋千后所发生的改变，参加了其他的各项活动，并且本段描写作者个人的感悟。
2.续写线索：作者不敢完成高空秋千——在朋友的鼓励下参加高空秋千——作者感受到极其紧张和恐惧——克服恐惧，完成高空秋千——发生改变，参加其他各项活动——最终感悟
