Tipping— the act f giving extra mney t service wrkers— is cmmn in many parts
f the wrld, while in thers, it is seen ttally unnecessary. Even in cuntries where tipping is e
xpected, debates arise ver the prper amunts. As with any cmplex tpics, pinins differ b
ased n cultural and persnal factrs. Here is what peple frm different cuntries said when a
sked the questin“D yu tip?”
Maeia, Italy:“If I'm at a café and the service is very gd, I' ll leave a small tip——mayb
e 10 percent. But usually in Italy tipping is nt expected. At mst restaurants, they already add
a service charge t the bill. I like it that way because then I dn't have t calculate it myself!”
Javier, Mexic:“Oh yes, I definitely tip. Fr me and many thers in Mexic, it's a way f
shwing respect fr hard wrk. Als, sme peple— like the peple wh pack yur bags in th
e grcery stre—— get n mney frm their emplyer. S, if yu neglect their tip, they dn't
get paid!”
Sphie, France: “I d, but I'm in the minrity. In France, a service charge is usually inclu
ded in the bill, s a tip isn't necessary. But I used t wrk in a café, s Ialways leave a little s
mething extra fr the server.”
Liam, the US:“Always. In the US, it's really a must. But it's als quite expensive.It used t
be arund 15 t 20 percent, but nw it's much higher because peple gt used t tipping mr
e during the COVID years. We' re talking 25 t 30 percent in a restaurant.Hnestly, I rarely eat
ut nwadays, because it breaks the bank. I just can't affrd the tip.”
21. In which cuntries is tipping nt needed fr mst peple?
A. Italy& Mexic. B. Mexic& France.
C. France& Italy. D. Mexic& the US.
22. In the US, if the bill fr a meal is $ 120, what is the minimum tip nw?

At 30, Li Yangyang never imagined that her degree in internatinal business wuld lead t
a career in ancient bk restratin.
In 2017, after graduating frm cllege, Li was explring different jb pprtunities. One
day, she saw a cultural technlgy cmpany lking fr ancient bk restrers. The cmpany
ffered training fr peple withut experience. Curius, she sent her applicatin and gt the j
b.
Restring ancient bks is mre difficult than it lks. A typical prject has mre than 20
steps, such as taking phts fr recrds, preparing paper, taking apart bks,
cleaning, binding(装订) and mre. Depending n the damage, Li may restre 30 pages a da
y— r just ne r tw.
“Bk bricks” is the nickname restrers give t bks that have becme hard like bricks.
Sme are s damp that pages stick tgether, and even the first step— flattening the pages— ca n take a whle day. One wrng mve culd tear the page. Aesthetics(美学) are als imprtant.
Restratin isn't just abut“fixing” the bk. The page margins(页边距) and backing paper c
lr must match the riginal.
Li said that beginners need t stay calm and respect the wrk. “Befre starting a restrati
n, yu must ask yurself: Can my skills handle this? If nt, it's better t seek help frm an exp
erienced restrer rather than risk making things wrse,” she said.“Over-restratin can be mr
e damaging than leaving the bk untuched.” She als warns against wrking while upset. Sh
e nce nearly damaged a bk ut f frustratin.
With China placing mre value n cultural heritage, ancient bk restratin is nw grw
ing fast. In Octber 2024, Li pened her wn studi and nw accepts rders frm bth grups
and individuals. Since February, she's shared vides n Xiahngshu andDuyin t prmte t
his wrk. “I hpe ancient bks can becme a mre cmmn part f everyday life, s mre pe
ple can experience them,” Li said.
24. What initially inspired Li t pursue ancient bk restratin?
A. Her passin fr cultural heritage prtectin.
B. Her determinatin t challenge herself.
C. Her desire t apply her cllege majr.
D. Her curisity abut the jb psting.
25. Accrding t the article, what is a majr challenge in restring“bk bricks”?
A. Matching the riginal paper clr.
B. Safely separating stuck-tgether pages.
C. Using histrical binding techniques crrectly.
D. Drying the damp paper naturally and slwly.
26. What key advice des Li give t new restrers?
A. Evaluate their restratin ability befre starting.
B. Take n diverse prjects t build skills quickly.
C. Cntinue wrking even while in a bad md.
D. Always ask experienced restrers fr help.
27. Why des Li share restratin vides n scial media?
A. T bring ancient bks int everyday life.
B. T teach the public basic restratin skills.
C. T prmte her studi's restratin services.
D. T shw the challenges f restratin wrk.

NASA astrnauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmre finally returned n March 19,2025, h aving endured a nine-mnth wait n the Internatinal Space Statin fr a rescue missin t be
rganized. Seeing the difficulties the US gvernment had in rescuing the astrnauts, law exper
ts are nw questining wh wuld be respnsible if privately-run space missins g wrng.
Accrding t the United Natins(UN), internatinal space law dates back t the19
60s. At that time, space explratin was led by gvernments. Private cmpanies ging
int space were nt cnsidered pssible and s were nt clearly included in internatin
al law, wrte Anna Brennan, a researcher at the University f Waikat in New Zealand,
n The Cnversatin.
Hwever, in recent years, the cmmercial space industry has bmed, with grwth
and civilian space travel achievements. By the end f February, the US cmpany Blue
Origin had launched 52 civilians int space. SpaceX's Crew Dragn spacecraft is als
designed t allw civilians with little training t travel t space, said Eurnews.
These changes have revealed legal gaps. One significant issue lies in the wrding.
As nted in an article published in Khalifa University Science and Tech Review, the U NOuter Space Treaty(条约) and the related Rescue Agreement f 1968 state that, in e
mergencies, all cuntries are respnsible fr rescuing “astrnauts”. In cntrast,internati nal maritime(海事的) law uses the brader term “persns”, rather than specific wrds
like“sailrs”.
This difference creates a gray area because it means civilians n private space mis
sins are nt technically cvered by the universal rescue duty, said the article.Althugh
the 1979 Mn Treaty cnsiders anyne n the mn an astrnaut, nne f the few c
untries with independent crewed launch capabilities(i. e. the US, Russia andChina) hav
e signed this treaty. This reduces the treaty's relevance, the article further explained.
Even in the US, the meaning f“astrnaut” changes between agencies, reprtedNB
C News. NASA requires a persn t meet several standards, including finishing seriu
s training, t earn the title. But the Federal Aviatin Administratin(FAA, 美国联邦航
空管理局) accepts anyne wh flies abve 80 kilmeters n an FAA-licensed spacecr
aft.
“Experts are calling fr a brader definitin f‘astrnaut’”, said New Scientist.Bre
nnan als nted n The Cnversatin that space law must find a balance between keepi
ng peple safe and allwing space businesses t grw.
28. Hw des the authr intrduce the tpic f the passage?
A. By describing a recent return frm space.
B. By discussing internatinal space law.
C. By quting well-knwn experts. D. By interviewing tw astrnauts.
29. Why were private space cmpanies nt clearly included in internatinal space law?
A. They shwed n interest in space travel.
B. They refused t fllw space regulatins.
C. The UN didn't recgnize private space flights.
D. They were seen as being unable t g t space.
30. What d the underlined wrds“a gray area” in paragraph 5 refer t?
A. The dangerus cnditins f space travel.
B. The unclear legal status f space turists.
C. The training requirements fr space travel.
D. The financial risks f cmmercial spaceflight.
31. What des Anna Brennan suggest abut space law?
A. It shuld redefine the wrd“astrnaut”.
B. It shuld adpt maritime rescue law fr space.
C. It shuld prtect peple and supprt space businesses.
D. It shuld restrict private spaceflights fr safety reasns.

The urban fruit flies that fly arund the apples n yur cunter have t navigate(导航)
a rich visual envirnment t find that fd. Desert fruit flies, nt s much. They fly thrug
h a mstly empty landscape with fewer predictable barriers t find certain fruit. Nnethele
ss, it has lng been believed that ther species f fruit flies navigate and maintain balance t
he same way as urban fruit flies. But a new study cntradicts that belief.
Flying fruit flies have tw jbs: t head tward interesting things, and als stay stable
during flight. Like humans, visin helps fruit flies mve straight and stay stable while navi
gating tward attractive bjects. Lking at interesting things interrupts the visin needed
t stay stable.
T study hw the tw types f fruit flies navigate, the researchers designed a system t
hat let the flies interact with bjects while tracking their bdy and eye mvements with a c amera. They glued a tiny piece f metal t the fly's back and cnnected it t a magnet(磁 铁) hanging frm the tp f a rund, drum-like device. Anther magnet at the bttm f th
e drum created a magnetic field that held the metal exactly in psitin while allwing the f
ly t mve arund within the drum. The walls f the drum were cvered with LED lights a
nd a cmputer created different mving shapes in varius sizes and directins using the lig
hts. The fly culd chse hw t interact with these virtual bjects. One f the bjects was
a vertical bar(垂直条形物) that lked like smething natural, like a tree. This was desig
ned t test hw the fly wuld use the bar and backgrund t navigate.
The desert flies ignred the backgrund and mved t fllw the vertical bar smthl
y, while the urban flies nly relied n the backgrund t navigate smthly.Desert and urb
an flies bth made rapid eye mvements, called saccades, t fllw bjects that mved al
ng a cntinuus path.
Fruit flies are ften used in experiments studying visual perceptin and prcessing.Th
e finding expands the pssibilities fr what scientists can learn abut visin in humans and
can als be used t aid the develpment f autnmus vehicles.
32. What belief abut fruit flies has been held fr a lng time?
A. They have wnderful hunting skills.
B. They adpt the same navigating strategy.
C. They can adapt t cmplex envirnments.
D. They can handle predictable barriers well.
33. What is the fundamental flight challenge described in paragraph 2?
A. Distinguishing fd frm blcking bjects.
B. Prcessing multiple visual signals at nce.
C. Limited visual sharpness in cmplex settings.
D. Balancing target-tracking with flight stability.
34. Why were LED lights used in the experiment?
A. T effectively bserve the stability f fruit flies.
B. T clsely mnitr the eye mvements f fruit flies.
C. T create virtual bjects fr fruit flies t interact with.
D. T track the mvement f fruit flies in the experiment.
35. Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A. The Visual Navigatin Strategies f Fruit Flies
B. Fruit Flies’ Visual Prcessing Preferences
C. The Great Survival Ability f Fruit Flies
D. Fruit Flies’ Envirnmental Adaptatins

Picture this: Yu' ve just arrived hme frm the grcery stre and realized that yu frgt t buy t
he main fd yu needed fr dinner. Yu may feel upset and tired. And then, the vice in yur head beg
ins its cmments:“It's really stupid f me.” r“Why am I always s careless?” 36
We’ ve all been there— experiencing the inner dialgue that fllws a mistake r a setback. 37
Negative self-talk is a nrmal part f being human. But if left unchecked, it can affect ur mental healt
h. This is why learning t examine and transfrm ur inner vice is s crucial. Our inner vice is cnsta
ntly bradcasting ur thughts, whether they' re psitive r negative. 38 In cntrast, negative self-tal
k expses us t self-dubts and fears. This can eventually harm ur mental health,relatinships, and cn
fidence.
39 Research shws that peple wh engage in this kind f behavir ften experience lwer self-
cnfidence, higher anxiety levels, and a reduced sense f verall well-being. In additin, self-criticism
has been assciated with higher stress levels and an increased risk f mental health issues, such as depr
essin.
The gd news is that we can change ur self-talk. The first step is becming aware f the rle ur
inner vice plays. Once we recgnize its impact, we can use simple techniques t shift hw we talk t
urselves. 40 Besides, using yur name instead f“I” during inner dialgue can als create a mre su
pprtive, less critical vice.
A. A lt f strategies are needed.
B. Practicing cnstructive self-talk can be helpful.
C. In fact, negative self-talk can take many frms.
D. Psitive self-talk can inspire and bst ur cnfidence.
E. At last, yu may head back t the stre with a heavy heart.
F. The link between negative self-talk and mental health is well-established.
G. This dialgue is the vice that criticizes us when things dn't g as planned.

When the ancient Egyptians wanted t recrd smething imprtant, they wuld write n papyrus.
Papyrus was a type f ancient paper, made frm the stems f papyrus plants.

bes wuld recrd religius texts, medical dcuments, literary tales and ther dcuments. In additin t

The papyrus dcuments that 59 (survive) have dne s mainly because fEgypt's climate, which

tect fragile papyrus artefacts by blcking ut 61 (damage) sunlight. Once the papyri were unearthed,
hwever, they were expsed t harmful elements, such as light, misture, and ils frm hands. If mde

【语篇导读】全球小费文化各异，多国人士分享是否及如何给小费。
21. C 细节理解题。文中 Maeia 提到在意大利，通常人们不期望给小费，多数餐厅已将服务费计入账单；Sphie 表
示在法国，账单通常包含服务费，给小费并非必要。而 Javier 表明在墨西哥一定会给小费；Liam 指出在美国给
小费是必须的。所以对大多数人来说不需要给小费的国家是法国和意大利，选 C。

低 25%计算,120×25%=30 美元,所以最低小费是 30 美元,选 C。
23. D 推理判断题。文章主要通过不同国家人们对“是否给小费”的看法，展现不同国家的小费文化，这种呈现方
式和内容更符合生活杂志中文化专栏的特点。A 选项，新闻报道强调时效性和事件性，本文未体现；B 选项，个

【语篇导读】李洋洋跨界从事古籍修复，分享工作挑战与经验。
24. D 细节理解题。题目问最初促使李洋洋从事古籍修复工作的原因。根据文中“Curius，she sent herapplicat
in and gt the jb.”可知,她是因为对招聘信息感到好奇才申请这份工作,所以答案是 D。A 选项“她对文化
遗产保护的热情”，文章未提及；B 选项“她挑战自我的决心”，文中未体现；C 选项“她想应用大学专业的愿
望”，她的专业是国际商务，与古籍修复无关。
25. B 推理判断题。题目问修复“书砖”的主要挑战是什么。文中提到“Sme are s damp that pages sticktget
her, and even the first step— flattening the pages— can take a whle day. One wrng mve culd tearthe page.”，说
明安全分开粘在一起的书页是个难题，所以答案是 B。A 选项“匹配原始纸张颜色”，这不是修复“书砖”的主
要挑战；C 选项“正确使用历史装订技术”，未提及与“书砖”修复相关；D 选项“自然缓慢地烘干潮湿纸张”，
文中未提及。
26. A 细节理解题。题目问李洋洋给新手修复师的关键建议是什么。根据“Befre starting a restratin, yum
ust ask yurself: Can my skills handle this? If nt, it's better t seek help frm an experienced
restrerrather than risk making things wrse”可知,她建议新手修复师在开始修复前评估自己的修复能力,
答案是 A。B 选项“承接多样项目来快速提升技能”，文中未提及；C 选项“心情不好时也要继续工作”，与原文
“Sheals warns against wrking while upset.”相悖;D 选项“总是向有经验的修复师寻求帮助”,表述太绝
对,原文是在自己能力不足时寻求帮助。
27. A 细节理解题。题目问李洋洋在社交媒体上分享修复视频的原因。从“I hpe ancient bks can becme am
re cmmn part f everyday life, s mre peple can experience them”可知,她想让古籍融入日常生活,
答案是 A。B 选项“教授公众基本修复技能”，文章未提及；C 选项“推广她工作室的修复服务”，文中未表明；
D 选项“展示修复工作的挑战”，这不是分享视频的主要目的。
【语篇导读】商业太空发展现法律漏洞，“宇航员”定义引争议。
28. A 篇章结构题。文章开篇讲述了 NASA 宇航员 Suni Williams 和 Butch Wilmre 在国际空间站等待九个月后于 2
025 年 3 月 19 日返回地球这一事件，随后引出法律专家对私人太空任务出错责任归属的质疑，进而展开对太空
法律相关问题的讨论，所以文章是通过描述一次近期的太空返回事件来引入主题，A 选项正确。B 选项“讨论国
际太空法”并非引入主题的方式；C 选项“引用知名专家的话/观点”在文章开头未体现：D 选项“采访两名宇航
员”，文章中也未提及。
29. D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Private cmpanies ging int space were nt cnsidered pssible and swere nt cle
arly included in internatinal law”可知,当时私人太空公司未被明确写进国际法是因为人们认为它们进入
太空是不可能的，D 选项符合文意。A 选项“他们对太空旅行不感兴趣”、B 选项“他们拒绝遵守太空规则”在文
中均未提及；C 选项“联合国不承认私人太空飞行”与原文不符，文中说的是当时认为私人公司进入太空不可能，
所以未被纳入，并非联合国不承认。
30. B 词汇指代题。根据前文提到的联合国《外层空间条约》及相关救援协议对“宇航员”的规定，以及国际海事
法用词的对比,再结合后文“civilians n private space missins are nt technically cvered by the universalrescue duty”
可知，“a gray area”指的是私人太空任务中的平民在法律上的地位不明确，即太空游客不明确的法律地位，B
选项正确。A 选项“太空旅行的危险状况”、C 选项“太空旅行的训练要求”、D 选项“商业太空飞行的财务风险”
均与上下文语境不符。
31. C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Brennan als nted n The Cnversatin that space law must find abalance between
keeping peple safe and allwing space businesses t grw.”可知, Anna Brennan 认为太空法必须在保障人们安全和促
进太空商业发展之间找到平衡，也就是保护人们并支持太空商业，C 选项正确。A 选项“重新定义‘宇航员’一
词”并非 AnnaBrennan 的主要建议；B 选项“采用海事救援法用于太空”文章未提及；D 选项“出于安全原因限
制私人太空飞行”与 AnnaBrennan 的观点相悖，她强调的是平衡发展。
【语篇导读】研究发现不同果蝇导航方式不同，或助力人类视觉研究与自动驾驶发展。
32. B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Nnetheless, it has lng been believed that ther species f fruit fliesnavigate and maint
ain balance the same way as urban fruit flies.”可知,长期以来人们认为其他种类的果蝇和城市果蝇导航和保持平衡的方
式相同，也就是它们采用相同的导航策略，B 选项正确。A 选项“它们有出色的捕猎技巧”、C 选项“它们能适应
复杂环境”、D 选项“它们能很好地应对可预测的障碍”在文中均未提及。
33. D 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Flying fruit flies have tw jbs: t head tward interesting things, andals stay stable du
ring flight.”以及“Lking at interesting things interrupts the visin needed t staystable.”可知，果蝇飞行时面临的根
本挑战是在追踪目标和保持飞行稳定之间取得平衡，所以答案是 D。A 选项“区分食物和障碍物”，文中未提及，
属于无中生有；B 选项“同时处理多个视觉信号”，文中提到视觉作用，但未说“多信号同时处理”是主要挑战，
B 选项不符合题意；C 选项“在复杂环境中视觉清晰度有限”，文中段落讨论视觉的用途冲突，而非视力敏锐度
问题，偷换概念，C 错误。
34. C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The walls f the drum were cvered with LED lights and a cmputercreated different m
ving shapes in varius sizes and directins using the lights. The fly culd chse hwt interact with these virtua
l bjects.”可知,LED 灯是用来创造虚拟物体让果蝇与之互动的,C 选项正确。A 选项“有效观察果蝇的稳定
性”、B 选项“密切监测果蝇的眼球运动”、D 选项“在实验中追踪果蝇的运动”均不是使用 LED 灯的目的。
35. A 主旨大意题。文章主要围绕城市果蝇和沙漠果蝇不同的视觉导航策略展开研究，A 选项“果蝇的视觉导航策
略”符合文章主旨。B 选项“果蝇的视觉处理偏好”，文章重点不是视觉处理偏好；C 选项“果蝇强大的生存能
力”，文中未重点阐述生存能力；D 选项“果蝇的环境适应能力”，文章主要讲的是导航方式，而非环境适应能
力。
【语篇导读】负面自我对话危害大，如何改变?快来了解。
36. E 前文详细叙述了因忘记买晚餐主食而进行自我责备的情景, “At last, yu may head back t the strewi
th a heavy heart.(最后,你可能会心情沉重地回到商店。)”此选项以“At last”作为时间衔接词,精准承接上
文忘记买东西后的心理和行为发展逻辑，顺理成章地说明了后续行动，所以选 E。
37. G 前句聚焦于经历犯错或挫折后出现的内心对话,G 选项“This dialgue is the vice that criticizes uswhen things dn'
t g as planned.(这种对话是事情没有按计划进行时批评我们的声音。)”其中“Thisdialgue”直接复现前文
的“内心对话”，并且明确解释了这种对话在事情未按计划发展时的批判性质，与前文形成紧密的解释说明关系，
故 G 正确。
38. D 后句着重阐述负面自我对话的危害，由“In cntrast(相比之下)”这一关键对比词可知，此处应呈现正面
自我对话的情况。E 选项“Psitive self-talk can inspire and bst ur cnfidence.(积极的自我对话可以
激励和增强我们的信心。)”通过“Psitive self-talk”与后文“负面自我对话”形成鲜明对比，同时说明了
积极自我对话的益处，符合语境，所以选 D。
39. F 后文深入阐述负面自我对话与心理健康问题之间的具体关联,F 选项“The link between negative self-talk
and mental health is well-established.(负面自我对话与心理健康之间的联系已得到充分证实。)”其中“T
he link”直接点明主题，作为总起句概括了后文内容，起到引出下文的作用，因此选 F。
40. B 前文表明可以改变自我对话,并且还需要运用相关技巧,B 选项“Practicing cnstructive self-talk can behelpf
ul.(练习建设性的自我对话会有帮助。)”“Practicing”对应前文“改变”, “cnstructive self-talk”给出了具
体改变的方式，即“建设性的自我对话”，与文意紧密相连，所以选 B。
【主题语境】人与自我——做人与做事
【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。作者以观看“魔眼”画的经历为引，阐述生活哲理：过度思考和强求结果反而让人迷失，
真正的突破源于顺应自然、放松心态。
41. C 根据上文“It was at a lively fd festival.”可知,那是在一个热闹的美食节上,场面很“混乱”。
42. B 根据下文“a mess f clrs”可知,海报上面覆盖着看似“胡乱画的”图案。
43. A 根据上文“narrwing their eyes, tilting(倾斜) their heads”可知,人们想方设法地在寻找海报中隐藏的图案，
故他们看得非常“认真”。
44. B 根据上文“stared harder”可知,作者看得更加用力了,“迫切”地想看到海豚。
45. C 根据语境可知，作者发现自己越“聚精会神”，越看不到海豚的样子。
46. D 根据下文“let it cme t yu”可知,老人建议作者“放松”眼睛。
47. A 根据下文“a dlphin”可知，作者“采纳”了老人的建议后看到了海豚。
48. C 根据上面作者的经历可知，事情的“清晰”答案，往往在我们停止过度努力、强求或执着时，才会自然而然地显现
出来。
49. B 根据“Hwever”可知，前后两句表示转折，我们通常“认为”纯粹的努力会带来突破。
50. D 根据语境可知，强迫一个特定的结果和过度思考会让我们对已经存在的东西“视而不见”。
51. C 根据语境可知，中国古代哲学中的“无为”思想强调“顺应”自然、放松心态，而非一味强求。
52. B 根据上下文可知，顺应自然、不强求并不意味着我们放弃了对成功的“渴望”。
53. D 根据上文作者的亲身经历可知，作者劝诫读者不要被结果“控制”。
54. B 根据上文作者放松后看到混乱图案下的海豚可知，就像魔眼海报一样，当我们放松时，生活就会展现它的“丰富
性”。
55. A 根据语境可知，作者呼吁读者放下“紧张”，然后看着隐藏的画面出现在我们眼前。
56. a 考查冠词。brush 为可数名词，此处表示泛指“一支毛笔”，且 brush 发音以辅音音素开头，所以用不定冠词 a。
57. beautiful 考查词性转换。illustratins 为名词,需用形容词修饰, beauty 的形容词形式为 beautiful,表示“美丽
的插图”。
58. but 考查并列连词。前文提到“这些文本没有被收集成书”，后文说“被卷成卷轴”，前后是转折关系，故用 but
连接。
59. havesurvived 考查谓语动词时态。根据语境可知，“幸存下来的纸莎草文献”强调从过去持续到现在的情况，对现在
产生了影响，所以用现在完成时 have survived。
60. which 考查定语从句。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词是“much f ancient Egypt was, ver time,buried in sa
nd”这件事,关系词在从句中作主语,所以用 which 引导。
61. damaging 考查词性转换。sunlight 为名词,需用形容词修饰, damage 的形容词形式 damaging 表示“有破坏性的”,
“damaging sunlight”即“有破坏性的阳光”。
62. t fall 考查非谓语动词。cause sb./ sth. t d sth.是固定搭配,意为“导致某人/某物做某事”,所以用 tfall,
“cause the papyrus t fall apart”表示“导致纸莎草破碎”。
63. shckingly/ shcked 考查副词。此处修饰整个句子,要用副词形式, shck 的副词为 shckingly,表示“令人震惊
地”。
64. expsure 考查词性转换。and 连接并列成分, misture 和 temperature 均为名词,所以 expse 应变为名词形式 ex
psure, expsure t light 表示“暴露在光线下”。
65. Thrugh/ With 考查介词。根据语境可知,这里表示“通过这样巨大的努力”, thrugh 与 with 有“通过(某种方式、
手段)”的含义。

【参考范文】
Surprised , he watched me frm his windw. After a while, Mr. Rberts slwly pened his frnt dr and
stepped utside, his arms crssed tightly ver his chest. “What d yu think yu' re ding?” he grumbled,thu
gh his vice lacked its usual sharpness. I paused, leaning n the rake. “Yur leaves were mixing int urs, s I
thught I'd help tidy them up,” I said with a smile. “Besides, the kids lve jumping int big piles—maybe y
u'd like t see them play?” Sam, sensing the mment, ran ver with an armful f glden leaves.
“Lk, Mr. Rberts! We can make the biggest pile ever!” His enthusiasm was infectius, and fr the first
time, the ld man's stern expressin sftened just a little.
Hesitantly, Mr. Rberts picked up a spare rake frm his garage and began wrking alngside us. At fi
rst,he barely spke, but as we wrked, Sam's cheerful chatter abut schl and the changing seasns see
med t chip away at his gruff exterir. By the time we’ d gathered all the leaves int a twering heap, Mr.
Rberts even let ut a quiet chuckle as Sam dve int it with a whp. “Used t d that as a by,” he mu
mbled. As we turned t leave, he hesitated, then called ut, “Wait.” He disappeared inside and returned w
ith a bag f apples frm his tree int my hands. Thugh he went back and shut the dr quickly, it was lig
hter than befre— like a dr cracked pen, just a little.
一、评分原则
1.总分 25 分，按 5 个档次给分。
2.以 15 分为基准线，依据内容的连贯性与协同性、情节的合理性与逻辑性、语言的准确性与丰富性综合考量，先确
定档次，再以该档次具体要求衡量、调整，最终确定得分。
3.评分关键要素包括：与原文及段落开头语的衔接紧密程度；内容围绕主题和首句关键词展开的协同性；上下文逻
辑连贯、情节发展自然合理；词汇运用恰当、语法结构准确且丰富多样。
4.续写结尾若能升华主题，上升到积极正能量层面，且表达出彩，可加 1—2 分。但不可仅因堆砌抽象词汇就简单加
分。
5.词数不足 120 词扣 1 分，词数无上限，超词不扣分。
6.在续写的每段中自行分段，扣 1-2 分。
7.仅续写一个段落，以三档中位 12.5 分为上限，再根据具体内容酌情扣分。
8.拼写与标点符号影响交际时，依影响程度扣分，英、美拼写及词汇用法均认可。
9.书写差影响交际，酌情扣分。
10.抄袭阅读理解或前文内容，一律记 0 分。
二、评分维度
1.内容：续写内容的质量(合理性、前文逻辑一致、切合主题、符合生活常理、符合文化习惯)、完整性、与原文情
节的融洽度；
2.语言：使用语法和结构的正确性、得体性、恰当性；
3.语篇：上下文的衔接和全文的连贯，体现逻辑。
三、特别注意
1.关于续写作文的主题：所续写部分的主题与所读文本的主题是否正向和鲜明；
2.逻辑性：特别指衔接连贯的程度上。如：
①续写部分与所给短文的逻辑性、一致性
②续写内容与段落开头语的一致性
③两个段落之间是否逻辑连贯
3.续写部分是否需要点题和升华：合理的点题和升华，可以接受，但不作为加分项目；作为第三者视角进行大段的
点评，需要降档扣分；
4.阅卷时，背套路句，如果可以得体表达内容，可以接受；但是如果使用生硬，不够得体，则降档处理；
5.内容和语言确实同等重要。但对于三档作文，更多关注内容是否表达完整；内容来定档次，语言来定高低；
6.抄袭试卷文章或者背诵与主题无关的句子，达到三分之一的篇幅，为零分。 7.及格线的把握：只要所写的内容表明学生没有看懂所给的文章时，肯定不及格。
8.续写与原文语言风格的协同性：与原文严重不一致，不能得高分。
四、几点建议
1.续写可基于主题；通过善意和主动关怀改变他人的冷漠态度或建立友谊。
2.核心情节：主角和儿子主动接近冷漠的邻居罗伯茨先生，最终用行动感化他。
3.情感升华：孤独的老人逐渐打开心扉，接受他人的善意。
4.续写的第一段 情景思路：罗伯茨先生从窗户看到“我”在帮他耙树叶，先是惊讶，随后表情略微松动(如皱眉→
犹豫)；心理暗示：通过他的视角描述“我”和 Sam 的善意举动(如专注劳作、笑容)，让他内心产生一丝触动，但
仍有戒备。
5.续写的第二段 转折点：罗伯茨先生勉强加入劳动(如默默拿出备用的耙子，不情不愿地帮忙)。互动细节：通过动
作/简短对话体现他的态度软化(如 Sam 的乐观开朗，稍稍改变了罗伯茨先生的态度)。伏笔/结尾：为后续关系改
善或友谊的发展埋下种子。
6.高分关键点
①保持人设一致性：罗伯茨先生应保持“冷漠→勉强接受→细微软化”的渐变过程。
②避免俗套：不要让他突然变得热情，而是通过细节(如眼神、简短对话)暗示变化。如果出现人物性格的不一致，
需要降档处理。
③紧扣主题：始终围绕“善意化解隔阂”展开，避免添加无关冲突(如突然生病/事故)。如出现此情景，适当扣分。
