Mind-Bending Facts Abut Yga
It’s been arund fr rughly 5,000 years, but yga is mre ppular tday than ever. Here are sme mind-bending facts abut yga.
Vinyasa yga, als called flw, is ne f the mst ppular styles in the West. It fcuses n linking a series f pses with the breath at a quick, smth pace.

Animal yga, n the ther hand, is less abut mastering pses and mre abut decreasing stress and bsting yur md by practicing alngside puppies, gats and even hrses.
Savasana lks simple, but it can be difficult t master, as it calls fr a state f calm.

OAK HARBOR, OHIO — “Over there!” A tall yung man pints abve the crwd. “A magnlia is mving in the branches.” Named after the tree in which they were discvered, male magnlia warblers are eye-catching birds, with a cal-black mask and a brilliant yellw belly. Bdies and binculars twist fr a lk. Camera shutters (快门) click vilently, and then nly birdsng fills the air again.
I’m at the bardwalk f Magee Marsh Wildlife Area, fr the annual 10-day Biggest Week in American Birding Festival, created in 2010 by the cnservatin rganizatin, Black Swamp Bird Observatry. Migrating sngbirds, especially warblers, stp here every May, ne f the majr flyways fr bird migratin. As the largest birding festival in the U.S., it attracts upward f 90,000 peple, bringing in arund $40 millin t the lcal ecnmy.
Birding enthusiasm is hard t cntain. “I pretty much spent whatever I had cming in, and it went ut just that fast. Plus five credit cards,” said Greg Miller, a Biggest Week guide and birder. Miller is famus in the avian (鸟类的) wrld: He inspired the character Brad Harris, played by Jack Black, in the mvie The Big Year, in which Jack crsses the cuntry t cmpete fr the Big Year recrd—a type f treasure hunt t see the mst bird species in a year.
A similar energy spreads thrugh the gathering tday. When a rare bird shws up at Magee Marsh, peple will leave wherever they’re at and run t see whatever has shwn up. After an exciting mrning, I head t Blackberry Cmers Tavern, a well-knwn stp fr many Biggest Week attendees. The restaurant is packed with faces I saw earlier n the bardwalk. Birders frm acrss the wrld are sharing stries and dessert—a mixed crwd n their wn migratin, fllwing the birds.
4. What des the authr intend t d in paragraph 1?

If yu have used Ggle lately and been lucky — r unlucky — enugh t encunter an answer t yur query (查询) rather than a bunch f links, yu have been subjected t smething called AI Overviews, a new cre feature that Ggle has been rlling ut.
What’s different abut AI Overviews is that answers are nt simply extracted frm relevant surces but generated behind the scenes by Ggle’s generative AI technlgy. The cmpany’s gal is t give yu a persnalized, n-demand answer instead f a standard set f dcuments matching yur query. But there’s mre t the picture.
Peple’s searching needs dn’t end with factual infrmatin. They lk fr ideas, pinins and advice. Lking fr suggestins abut hw t keep the cheese frm sliding ff yur pizza? Ggle will tell yu that yu shuld add sme glue t the sauce. While a reasnable user can understand that such shcking answers are likely t be wrng, it’s hard t detect that fr factual questins. Ggle has acknwledged issues with AI Overviews and said it has addressed them. But the cncern remains: Can yu really trust any answers yu receive thrugh this service?
There are alternatives. Yu can always g back t the traditinal Ggle search with its 10 blue links. Yu can then d what yu have likely dne fr decades nw — sift thrugh sme f the tp results, visit a few f thse sites and decide fr yurself. It des take a little wrk, but it gives yu back the ability t examine multiple sites and evidence t supprt r disprve smething. Mre imprtantly, yu leave pen the pssibilities fr learning and discvery.
AI Overviews is like fast fd that gets delivered thrugh a drive-thrugh windw—it’s quick, ht and cnvenient, but nt the healthiest chice. Perhaps yu can’t affrd t eat ut at a nice restaurant every time, but it’s imprtant t avid ending up ging thrugh a drive-thrugh fr all yur nutritin. After all, yu are what yu eat, and similarly, yu are hw yu search.
8. What is a feature f AI Overviews?
A. It highlights the credibility.B. It prvides individualized answers.
C. It prduces ptinal dcuments.D. It upgrades generative AI technlgy.
9. What des the authr indicate by mentining “cheese” and “pizza”?
A Cheese is an imprtant ingredient f pizza.
B. Peple’s needs g beynd mere infrmatin.
C. AI Overviews deals with factual infrmatin well.
D. AI Overviews smetimes ffers unreasnable respnses.
10. What des the underlined phrase “sift thrugh” prbably mean in paragraph 4?
A. Srt thrugh.B. Wait fr.C. Predict.D. Summarize.
11. Which can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. AI Overviews: A Reliable Surce fr Query
B. AI Overviews: The End f Traditinal Search Engines
C. AI Overviews: Cnvenience at the Cst f Nutritin
D. AI Overviews: The Future f Learning and Discvery

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, published 200 years ag, is ften called the first mdern wrk f science fictin — s much s that even peple wh haven’t read it knw the stry: an ambitius yung scientist named Victr Frankenstein creates a human-like creature frm the spare parts f dead bdies, but he lses cntrl f his creatin, and chas fllws. It reflects the anxieties ver new ideas and new scientific knwledge that were abut t transfrm the very fabric f life in the 19th century.
Frankenstein is, f curse, a wrk f fictin, but a gd deal f real-life science infrms Shelley’s masterpiece, beginning with the adventure stry that frames Victr Frankenstein’s tale: that f Captain Waltn’s vyage t the Arctic. Waltn hpes t reach the Nrth Ple where he might “discver the pwer that attracts the needle” — referring t the then-mysterius frce f magnetism (磁力). The links between electricity and magnetism were a majr subject f investigatin during Shelley’s time, and a number f expeditins departed fr the Nrth and Suth Ples in the hpe f discvering the secrets f the planet’s magnetic field.
Erasmus Darwin is mentined in the intrductin t Frankenstein. There Shelley claims that Darwin “preserved a piece f vermicelli in a glass case, till by sme extrardinary means it began t mve with a vluntary mtin”. She adds, “Perhaps a dead bdy wuld be brught back t life; galvanism (电击法) had shwn signs f such things: perhaps the cmpnent parts f a creature might be made, brught tgether, and given life.”
Hwever, Frankenstein serves as mre than just a reflectin n scientific effrt; it is als a warning tale abut the mral respnsibilities f the creatr. Victr’s scientific experiments blind him t the ptential cnsequences f his wrk. When he realizes what damage the creature has dne, he is verwhelmed with regret. But he fails t relate t the creature, which leads t the miserable events that fllw. Victr Frankenstein’s failing isn’t his ver-enthusiasm fr science but his failing t cnnect emtinally with his creatin.
12. What d we knw abut Frankenstein?
A. It is influential.B. It reflects pp culture.
C. It targets scientists.D. It is based n a real stry.
13. Why des Captain Waltn cnduct his Arctic expeditin?
A. T map nrthern regins.
B. T uncver a mysterius frce.
C. T trace the rute f great vyagers.
D. T distinguish electricity frm magnetism.
14. What d Shelley’s wrds in paragraph 3 fcus n?
A. The significance f galvanismB. Her inspiratin fr the creature.
C. The prcedure fr creating a being.D. Her supprt fr Darwin’s research.
15. What message des Frankenstein cnvey?
A. Adventure can inspire creativity.
B. Regret can lead t miserable events.
C. Creatrs shuld wrk ut the rigin f life.
D. Scientific creatins shuld include mral cnsideratins.

OAK HARBOR, OHIO — “Over there!” A tall yung man pints abve the crwd. “A magnlia is mving in the branches.” Named after the tree in which they were discvered, male magnlia warblers are eye-catching birds, with a cal-black mask and a brilliant yellw belly. Bdies and binculars twist fr a lk. Camera shutters (快门) click vilently, and then nly birdsng fills the air again.
I’m at the bardwalk f Magee Marsh Wildlife Area, fr the annual 10-day Biggest Week in American Birding Festival, created in 2010 by the cnservatin rganizatin, Black Swamp Bird Observatry. Migrating sngbirds, especially warblers, stp here every May, ne f the majr flyways fr bird migratin. As the largest birding festival in the U.S., it attracts upward f 90,000 peple, bringing in arund $40 millin t the lcal ecnmy.
Birding enthusiasm is hard t cntain. “I pretty much spent whatever I had cming in, and it went ut just that fast. Plus five credit cards,” said Greg Miller, a Biggest Week guide and birder. Miller is famus in the avian (鸟类的) wrld: He inspired the character Brad Harris, played by Jack Black, in the mvie The Big Year, in which Jack crsses the cuntry t cmpete fr the Big Year recrd—a type f treasure hunt t see the mst bird species in a year.
A similar energy spreads thrugh the gathering tday. When a rare bird shws up at Magee Marsh, peple will leave wherever they’re at and run t see whatever has shwn up. After an exciting mrning, I head t Blackberry Cmers Tavern, a well-knwn stp fr many Biggest Week attendees. The restaurant is packed with faces I saw earlier n the bardwalk. Birders frm acrss the wrld are sharing stries and dessert—a mixed crwd n their wn migratin, fllwing the birds.

If yu have used Ggle lately and been lucky — r unlucky — enugh t encunter an answer t yur query (查询) rather than a bunch f links, yu have been subjected t smething called AI Overviews, a new cre feature that Ggle has been rlling ut.
What’s different abut AI Overviews is that answers are nt simply extracted frm relevant surces but generated behind the scenes by Ggle’s generative AI technlgy. The cmpany’s gal is t give yu a persnalized, n-demand answer instead f a standard set f dcuments matching yur query. But there’s mre t the picture.
Peple’s searching needs dn’t end with factual infrmatin. They lk fr ideas, pinins and advice. Lking fr suggestins abut hw t keep the cheese frm sliding ff yur pizza? Ggle will tell yu that yu shuld add sme glue t the sauce. While a reasnable user can understand that such shcking answers are likely t be wrng, it’s hard t detect that fr factual questins. Ggle has acknwledged issues with AI Overviews and said it has addressed them. But the cncern remains: Can yu really trust any answers yu receive thrugh this service?
There are alternatives. Yu can always g back t the traditinal Ggle search with its 10 blue links. Yu can then d what yu have likely dne fr decades nw — sift thrugh sme f the tp results, visit a few f thse sites and decide fr yurself. It des take a little wrk, but it gives yu back the ability t examine multiple sites and evidence t supprt r disprve smething. Mre imprtantly, yu leave pen the pssibilities fr learning and discvery.
AI Overviews is like fast fd that gets delivered thrugh a drive-thrugh windw—it’s quick, ht and cnvenient, but nt the healthiest chice. Perhaps yu can’t affrd t eat ut at a nice restaurant every time, but it’s imprtant t avid ending up ging thrugh a drive-thrugh fr all yur nutritin. After all, yu are what yu eat, and similarly, yu are hw yu search.
8. What is a feature f AI Overviews?
A. It highlights the credibility.B. It prvides individualized answers.
C. It prduces ptinal dcuments.D. It upgrades generative AI technlgy.
9. What des the authr indicate by mentining “cheese” and “pizza”?
A. Cheese is an imprtant ingredient f pizza.
B. Peple’s needs g beynd mere infrmatin.
C. AI Overviews deals with factual infrmatin well.
D. AI Overviews smetimes ffers unreasnable respnses.
10. What des the underlined phrase “sift thrugh” prbably mean in paragraph 4?
A. Srt thrugh.B. Wait fr.C. Predict.D. Summarize.
11. Which can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. AI Overviews: A Reliable Surce fr Query
B. AI Overviews: The End f Traditinal Search Engines
C. AI Overviews: Cnvenience at the Cst f Nutritin
D. AI Overviews: The Future f Learning and Discvery
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了谷歌新推出的AI Overviews功能，该功能虽提供便利但可能牺牲搜索结果的全面性和可靠性。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“The cmpany’s gal is t give yu a persnalized, n-demand answer instead f a standard set f dcuments matching yur query.(该公司的目标是为您提供个性化的、按需的答案，而不是一组与您的查询相匹配的标准文档)”可知，AI Overviews的一个特点是它提供个性化的答案。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“Lking fr suggestins abut hw t keep the cheese frm sliding ff yur pizza? Ggle will tell yu that yu shuld add sme glue t the sauce.While a reasnable user can understand that such shcking answers are likely t be wrng, it’s hard t detect that fr factual questins.(想知道如何防止奶酪从披萨上滑落吗？谷歌会告诉你，你应该往酱料里加些胶水。尽管一个理智的人可以理解，这种荒谬的答案很可能是错误的，但对于事实性问题，很难检测其准确性)”可推知，作者提到“奶酪”和“披萨”是为了说明AI Overviews有时会给出不合理的回答。故选D。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段的“There are alternatives. Yu can always g back t the traditinal Ggle search with its 10 blue links.(还有其他选择。你总是可以回到传统的谷歌搜索，它有10个蓝色链接)”以及划线单词所在的句子“visit a few f thse sites and decide fr yurself.(访问其中一些网站，并自己做出决定)”可知，回到传统的谷歌搜索，通过十个链接去搜索答案，在这些答案中可以筛选一些顶尖的结果，然后自己做出决定。所以“sift thrugh”的意思是“筛选，整理”。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是最后一段的“AI Overviews is like fast fd that gets delivered thrugh a drive-thrugh windw—it’s quick, ht and cnvenient, but nt the healthiest chice.(AI Overviews就像通过免下车窗口提供的快餐——它快速、热、方便，但不是最健康的选择)”可知，根据全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了谷歌新推出的AI Overviews功能，该功能虽提供便利但可能牺牲搜索结果的全面性和可靠性。所以“人工智能概述：以营养为代价的便利”适合作本文的标题。故选C。
D
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, published 200 years ag, is ften called the first mdern wrk f science fictin — s much s that even peple wh haven’t read it knw the stry: an ambitius yung scientist named Victr Frankenstein creates a human-like creature frm the spare parts f dead bdies, but he lses cntrl f his creatin, and chas fllws. It reflects the anxieties ver new ideas and new scientific knwledge that were abut t transfrm the very fabric f life in the 19th century.
Frankenstein is, f curse, a wrk f fictin, but a gd deal f real-life science infrms Shelley’s masterpiece, beginning with the adventure stry that frames Victr Frankenstein’s tale: that f Captain Waltn’s vyage t the Arctic. Waltn hpes t reach the Nrth Ple where he might “discver the pwer that attracts the needle” — referring t the then-mysterius frce f magnetism (磁力). The links between electricity and magnetism were a majr subject f investigatin during Shelley’s time, and a number f expeditins departed fr the Nrth and Suth Ples in the hpe f discvering the secrets f the planet’s magnetic field.
Erasmus Darwin is mentined in the intrductin t Frankenstein. There, Shelley claims that Darwin “preserved a piece f vermicelli in a glass case, till by sme extrardinary means it began t mve with a vluntary mtin”. She adds, “Perhaps a dead bdy wuld be brught back t life; galvanism (电击法) had shwn signs f such things: perhaps the cmpnent parts f a creature might be made, brught tgether, and given life.”
Hwever Frankenstein serves as mre than just a reflectin n scientific effrt; it is als a warning tale abut the mral respnsibilities f the creatr. Victr’s scientific experiments blind him t the ptential cnsequences f his wrk. When he realizes what damage the creature has dne, he is verwhelmed with regret. But he fails t relate t the creature, which leads t the miserable events that fllw. Victr Frankenstein’s failing isn’t his ver-enthusiasm fr science but his failing t cnnect emtinally with his creatin.
12. What d we knw abut Frankenstein?
A. It is influential.B. It reflects pp culture.
C. It targets scientists.D. It is based n a real stry.
13. Why des Captain Waltn cnduct his Arctic expeditin?
A. T map nrthern regins.
B. T uncver a mysterius frce.
C. T trace the rute f great vyagers.
D. T distinguish electricity frm magnetism.
14. What d Shelley’s wrds in paragraph 3 fcus n?
A. The significance f galvanismB. Her inspiratin fr the creature.
C. The prcedure fr creating a being.D. Her supprt fr Darwin’s research.
15. What message des Frankenstein cnvey?
A. Adventure can inspire creativity.
B. Regret can lead t miserable events.
C. Creatrs shuld wrk ut the rigin f life.
D. Scientific creatins shuld include mral cnsideratins.

【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Perhaps a dead bdy wuld be brught back t life; galvanism (电击法) had shwn signs f such things: perhaps the cmpnent parts f a creature might be made, brught tgether, and given life.”（她还说：“也许死人会复活；电击法已经表明了这类事情迹象：也许一个生物的组成部分可以被制造出来，组合在一起，并赋予生命。”）可推知，雪莱在这段话中主要关注的是她对生物的创造灵感。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Hwever, Frankenstein serves as mre than just a reflectin n scientific effrt; it is als a warning tale abut the mral respnsibilities f the creatr.”（然而，《弗兰肯斯坦》不仅仅是对科学努力的反思；这也是一个关于造物主道德责任的警示故事。）可知，科学创造应该包括道德方面的考虑。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了关于教学玩具是否具有教育功能，好的教育玩具的特点等。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Tys advertised as teaching STEM might seem like ne way t achieve this gal.”（宣传教STEM的玩具似乎是实现这一目标的一种方式。）以及下文“The answer is yes.Tys can indeed teach science, technlgy, engineering and math cncepts — but dn’t fcus n advertising r fancy labels t find the best bets.”（答案是肯定的。玩具确实可以教授科学、技术、工程和数学概念——但不要把注意力集中在广告或花哨的标签上，以找到最好的选择。）可知，下设空处为一般疑问句，就宣传教STEM的玩具是否真的能够帮助孩子学习进行提问。故A选项“它们真的有效吗?”切题。故选A项。
【17题详解】
根据上文“There’s n minimum educatinal requirement that tys must reach t label themselves a “STEM ty”, s almst everything n the market is untested.”（玩具要贴上“STEM玩具”的标签并没有最低的教育要求，所以市场上几乎所有的东西都是未经测试的。）可知，选项与上文为转折关系，说明要寻找哪类的玩具。故F选项“相反，寻找那些鼓励开放式、积极的游戏和解决问题的玩具。”切题；下文“Sme prven winners? Tinkertys, bard games, decks f cards and building blcks.”（一些被证实的赢家？修补玩具、棋盘游戏、扑克牌和积木。）承接F选项，列举了一些被证实具有教育功能的玩具。故选F项。
【18题详解】
下文“In preschl, fr example, the cnstructin f cmplex blck buildings is assciated with an imprvement in math learning. Blcks, puzzles and shape tys bst spatial skills. Spatial skills, in turn, are assciated with later math learning, suggesting that the early explratin f shapes acts as a springbard fr mre cmplex math cncepts.”（例如，在学前教育中，建造复杂的积木建筑与数学学习的提高有关。积木、拼图和形状玩具可以提高空间技能。反过来，空间技能与后来的数学学习有关，这表明早期对形状的探索是学习更复杂数学概念的跳板。）通过举例，具体说明了创造性的、开放式的游戏是幼儿学习STEM概念的方式。所以选项总起下文说明创造性的、开放式的游戏是幼儿学习STEM概念的方式。故G选项“研究表明，创造性的、开放式的游戏是幼儿学习STEM概念的方式。”切题。故选G项。
【19题详解】
上文“Tys that allw children t build and create als have the advantage f being renewable.”（让孩子们建造和创造的玩具也具有可再生的优势。）指出，让孩子们建造和创造的玩具具有可以变换更新的特点；C选项“每次返给孩子们时，他们都不一样。”承接上文，继续阐述这些玩具的特点，选项中“They”指代上文中的“Tys that allw children t build and create”，“different every time children return t them”与上文“renewable”相对应；下文“It means that kids dn’t becme bred with them easily.”（这意味着孩子们不会轻易对它们感到厌倦。）承接C选项，阐述这些玩具每次都不同所带来的益处，“It”指代C选项的内容。故选C项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“One useful tl adults can use while playing with their children is “math talk”. This kind f talk encurages kids t think mre deeply abut math.”（成年人可以使用与他们的孩子玩耍是“数学谈话”。这种谈话鼓励孩子们更深入地思考数学。）可知，选项承接上文说明“数学谈话”的优势。故E选项“方便的是，数学谈话根本不需要购买任何玩具。”切题。故选E项。

【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意：在过去的几十年里，全球气候发生了巨大变化。空处修饰名词climate，应用形容词glbal，意为“全球的”，作定语。故填glbal。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：当人们燃烧化石燃料产生大量额外的温室气体时，更多的热能被困在大气中，导致地球表面温度迅速上升。空处作主句的谓语，结合“is trapped”可知，时态为一般现在时，主语mre heat energy是不可数名词，cause“导致”应用第三人称单数形式。故填causes。
【38题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：因此，气候变化需要我们的关注，我们应该采取措施减少温室气体排放。空处作take的宾语，空前没有表示单数概念的修饰语，可数名词measure“措施，办法”应用复数形式，表泛指，动词短语take measures意为“采取措施”。故填measures。
B

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国古代书法、诗歌和绘画这三种艺术形式的起源、发展以及它们作为“三绝”在视觉艺术中的极致地位。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：在中国古代，书法、诗歌和绘画是分别进行的，无论是在宫廷还是在精英之间私下进行。空处需要副词修饰动词practiced。separate的副词形式为separately“分别地”。故填separately。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在7世纪，科举制度催生了一个新的士大夫阶层，他们通过知识获得了地位。空处引导限定性定语从句，修饰先行词“schlar-fficials”。先行词指人，在定语从句中作主语，所以用关系代词wh引导该从句。故填wh。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：从那时起，这三种艺术就被联系起来，并被视为视觉艺术中的极致，简称为“三绝”。根据句意可知，空处需要介词as“作为”，此处表示书法、诗歌和绘画作为视觉艺术中的极致被欣赏。故填as。

45. cntainer
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了“办公室农民”这一新兴群体，他们通过在办公室种植瓜果植物来缓解压力。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。 句意：白领郑怡珊现在称自己为“办公室农民”，本月早些时候收获了她的第一批桌面香蕉。空处需要不定冠词表示泛指，此处指“郑怡珊称自己是一个‘办公室农民’”。由于空后为元音音素开始的单词，所以用不定冠词an。故填an。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。 句意：她说种水果是一个极好的缓解压力的方法，解释说当一个绿色的香蕉（其中文名与“焦虑”相似）变黄时，它象征着忧虑的消逝。空处需要非谓语动词作伴随状语，该动词和其逻辑主语she之间为主动关系，且与主句的动作同时发生，所以用现在分词作伴随状语。故填explaining。
【44题详解】
考查时态和语态。 句意：这样的植物很容易照料，因为大多数植物在交付时都带着半熟的果实。空处为原因状语从句的谓语动词。句子描述一般事实，所以用一般现在时态，且主语mst (plants)和该动词之间为被动关系。故填are delivered。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：“办公室农民”只需要定期换水，给植物的容器轻轻刷洗，并添加植物营养液。根据空前的plant’s可知，空处需要名词。根据句意可知，“办公室农民”需要刷洗植物的容器。cntainer为名词“容器”，符合语境。故填cntainer。

【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章主要讲述了作者在登机前很是匆忙，并没有检查行李箱的重量，结果在登机时，被要求额外支付65美元的费用。在没有其他选择定放弃自己的一些东西时，一位女士主动提出可以把超重的行李转移到她的包里，并在飞机降落后主动归还了作者的物品。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我惊讶地抬起头，看见她指着她的包。”。可知，第一段可描写陌生人帮助了作者使得作者成功登机而没有支付额外的费用，但是登机之后，作者对陌生人没有太多的了解。
②由第二段首句内容“正当我还在担心能否拿回我的东西时，飞机降落了”可知，第二段可描写作者的担心，最终陌生人主动归还了作者的物品，作者表示感激以及感悟。
2. 续写线索：作者惊呆——得到陌生人的帮助——成功登机——不了解陌生人——有些担忧——陌生人主动归还物品——感激——感悟

OAK HARBOR, OHIO — “Over there!” A tall yung man pints abve the crwd. “A magnlia is mving in the branches.” Named after the tree in which they were discvered, male magnlia warblers are eye-catching birds, with a cal-black mask and a brilliant yellw belly. Bdies and binculars twist fr a lk. Camera shutters (快门) click vilently, and then nly birdsng fills the air again.
I’m at the bardwalk f Magee Marsh Wildlife Area, fr the annual 10-day Biggest Week in American Birding Festival, created in 2010 by the cnservatin rganizatin, Black Swamp Bird Observatry. Migrating sngbirds, especially warblers, stp here every May, ne f the majr flyways fr bird migratin. As the largest birding festival in the U.S., it attracts upward f 90,000 peple, bringing in arund $40 millin t the lcal ecnmy.
Birding enthusiasm is hard t cntain. “I pretty much spent whatever I had cming in, and it went ut just that fast. Plus five credit cards,” said Greg Miller, a Biggest Week guide and birder. Miller is famus in the avian (鸟类的) wrld: He inspired the character Brad Harris, played by Jack Black, in the mvie The Big Year, in which Jack crsses the cuntry t cmpete fr the Big Year recrd—a type f treasure hunt t see the mst bird species in a year.
A similar energy spreads thrugh the gathering tday. When a rare bird shws up at Magee Marsh, peple will leave wherever they’re at and run t see whatever has shwn up. After an exciting mrning, I head t Blackberry Cmers Tavern, a well-knwn stp fr many Biggest Week attendees. The restaurant is packed with faces I saw earlier n the bardwalk. Birders frm acrss the wrld are sharing stries and dessert—a mixed crwd n their wn migratin, fllwing the birds.
4. What des the authr intend t d in paragraph 1?
A. Intrduce a particular bird.B. Explain the rules f birding.
C. Unfld a picture f birding.D. Present ways f watching birds.
5. Why is Magee Marsh chsen fr the Biggest Week?

C. It matters t the lcal ecnmy.D. It is a main stpver fr migrating birds.
6. What d we knw abut Greg Miller in paragraph 3?
A. He is a frmer Big Year recrd winner.
B. He hunts fr treasure acrss the cuntry.
C. He is willing t invest heavily in birding.
D. He mtivates Jack t becme an actr.

If yu have used Ggle lately and been lucky — r unlucky — enugh t encunter an answer t yur query (查询) rather than a bunch f links, yu have been subjected t smething called AI Overviews, a new cre feature that Ggle has been rlling ut.
What’s different abut AI Overviews is that answers are nt simply extracted frm relevant surces but generated behind the scenes by Ggle’s generative AI technlgy. The cmpany’s gal is t give yu a persnalized, n-demand answer instead f a standard set f dcuments matching yur query. But there’s mre t the picture.
Peple’s searching needs dn’t end with factual infrmatin. They lk fr ideas, pinins and advice. Lking fr suggestins abut hw t keep the cheese frm sliding ff yur pizza? Ggle will tell yu that yu shuld add sme glue t the sauce. While a reasnable user can understand that such shcking answers are likely t be wrng, it’s hard t detect that fr factual questins. Ggle has acknwledged issues with AI Overviews and said it has addressed them. But the cncern remains: Can yu really trust any answers yu receive thrugh this service?
There are alternatives. Yu can always g back t the traditinal Ggle search with its 10 blue links. Yu can then d what yu have likely dne fr decades nw — sift thrugh sme f the tp results, visit a few f thse sites and decide fr yurself. It des take a little wrk, but it gives yu back the ability t examine multiple sites and evidence t supprt r disprve smething. Mre imprtantly, yu leave pen the pssibilities fr learning and discvery.
AI Overviews is like fast fd that gets delivered thrugh a drive-thrugh windw—it’s quick, ht and cnvenient, but nt the healthiest chice. Perhaps yu can’t affrd t eat ut at a nice restaurant every time, but it’s imprtant t avid ending up ging thrugh a drive-thrugh fr all yur nutritin. After all, yu are what yu eat, and similarly, yu are hw yu search.
8. What is a feature f AI Overviews?
A. It highlights the credibility.B. It prvides individualized answers.
C. It prduces ptinal dcuments.D. It upgrades generative AI technlgy.
9. What des the authr indicate by mentining “cheese” and “pizza”?
A Cheese is an imprtant ingredient f pizza.
B. Peple’s needs g beynd mere infrmatin.
C. AI Overviews deals with factual infrmatin well.

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, published 200 years ag, is ften called the first mdern wrk f science fictin — s much s that even peple wh haven’t read it knw the stry: an ambitius yung scientist named Victr Frankenstein creates a human-like creature frm the spare parts f dead bdies, but he lses cntrl f his creatin, and chas fllws. It reflects the anxieties ver new ideas and new scientific knwledge that were abut t transfrm the very fabric f life in the 19th century.
Frankenstein is, f curse, a wrk f fictin, but a gd deal f real-life science infrms Shelley’s masterpiece, beginning with the adventure stry that frames Victr Frankenstein’s tale: that f Captain Waltn’s vyage t the Arctic. Waltn hpes t reach the Nrth Ple where he might “discver the pwer that attracts the needle” — referring t the then-mysterius frce f magnetism (磁力). The links between electricity and magnetism were a majr subject f investigatin during Shelley’s time, and a number f expeditins departed fr the Nrth and Suth Ples in the hpe f discvering the secrets f the planet’s magnetic field.
Erasmus Darwin is mentined in the intrductin t Frankenstein. There Shelley claims that Darwin “preserved a piece f vermicelli in a glass case, till by sme extrardinary means it began t mve with a vluntary mtin”. She adds, “Perhaps a dead bdy wuld be brught back t life; galvanism (电击法) had shwn signs f such things: perhaps the cmpnent parts f a creature might be made, brught tgether, and given life.”
Hwever, Frankenstein serves as mre than just a reflectin n scientific effrt; it is als a warning tale abut the mral respnsibilities f the creatr. Victr’s scientific experiments blind him t the ptential cnsequences f his wrk. When he realizes what damage the creature has dne, he is verwhelmed with regret. But he fails t relate t the creature, which leads t the miserable events that fllw. Victr Frankenstein’s failing isn’t his ver-enthusiasm fr science but his failing t cnnect emtinally with his creatin.
12. What d we knw abut Frankenstein?
A. It is influential.B. It reflects pp culture.
C. It targets scientists.D. It is based n a real stry.
13. Why des Captain Waltn cnduct his Arctic expeditin?
A. T map nrthern regins.
B. T uncver a mysterius frce.
C. T trace the rute f great vyagers.
D. T distinguish electricity frm magnetism.
14. What d Shelley’s wrds in paragraph 3 fcus n?
A. The significance f galvanismB. Her inspiratin fr the creature.
C. The prcedure fr creating a being.D. Her supprt fr Darwin’s research.
15. What message des Frankenstein cnvey?
A. Adventure can inspire creativity.
B. Regret can lead t miserable events.
C. Creatrs shuld wrk ut the rigin f life.
D. Scientific creatins shuld include mral cnsideratins.

Mind-Bending Facts Abut Yga
It’s been arund fr rughly 5,000 years, but yga is mre ppular tday than ever. Here are sme mind-bending facts abut yga.
Vinyasa yga, als called flw, is ne f the mst ppular styles in the West. It fcuses n linking a series f pses with the breath at a quick, smth pace. Ashtanga is like Vinyasa, but mre structured: it is made up f a series f pses dne in the same rder every time. Ht yga is perfrmed in a rm heated between 33-40℃. The heat is said t increase vitality, flexibility and kiljule (千焦尔) burn.
Already int yga and lking t change up yur practice? Try ne f the many mdern yga variatins, such as Aerial and Animal yga. Aerial yga invlves hanging frm a silk swing attached t the ceiling; it reduces jint pressure that sme peple feel while ding flr pses. Animal yga, n the ther hand, is less abut mastering pses and mre abut decreasing stress and bsting yur md by practicing alngside puppies, gats and even hrses.
Savasana lks simple, but it can be difficult t master, as it calls fr a state f calm. Typically the final psitin f a yga class, the purpse f this pse is t allw yur practice t settle in yur mind and bdy, and it’s ideally dne fr at least five minutes. After that, yu and yur classmates typically acknwledge each ther with a greeting that even nn-ygis knw: Namaste.
1. Why is Ashtanga mre structured than Vinyasa?
A. It cnsists f a fixed rder f pses.B. It emphasizes slw mvements.
C. It is practiced in a ht envirnment.D. It des nt link pses with breath.
2. Which helps t ease stress n jints?
A. Vinyasa yga.B. Ht yga.C. Aerial yga.D. Animal yga.
3. What is the aim f the final psitin in a yga class?
A. T bst verall vitality and flexibility.B. T acknwledge each ther’s prgress.
C. T prepare fr subsequent yga sessins.D. T integrate practice int mind and bdy.
【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了瑜伽以及不同的种类和作用。
【1题详解】

I’m at the bardwalk f Magee Marsh Wildlife Area, fr the annual 10-day Biggest Week in American Birding Festival, created in 2010 by the cnservatin rganizatin, Black Swamp Bird Observatry.

A similar energy spreads thrugh the gathering tday. When a rare bird shws up at Magee Marsh, peple will leave wherever they’re at and run t see whatever has shwn up. After an exciting mrning, I head t Blackberry Cmers Tavern, a well-knwn stp fr many Biggest Week attendees. The restaurant is packed with faces I saw earlier n the bardwalk. Birders frm acrss the wrld are sharing stries and dessert—a mixed crwd n their wn migratin, fllwing the birds.

Bdies and binculars twist fr a lk. Camera shutters (快门) click vilently, and then nly birdsng fills the air again.”（ OAK HARBOR, OHIO——“在那里!”一个高大的年轻人指着人群上方。“一朵木兰在树枝间移动。” 雄性木兰莺是一种引人注目的鸟类，有着煤黑色的面具和亮黄色的腹部，以它们被发现的树木命名。身体和双筒望远镜扭动着看。相机的快门猛烈地咔嚓一声，然后空气中又充满了鸟鸣。）可知，第一段作者展现了一幅观鸟的画面。故选C。

If yu have used Ggle lately and been lucky — r unlucky — enugh t encunter an answer t yur query (查询) rather than a bunch f links, yu have been subjected t smething called AI Overviews, a new cre feature that Ggle has been rlling ut.
What’s different abut AI Overviews is that answers are nt simply extracted frm relevant surces but generated behind the scenes by Ggle’s generative AI technlgy. The cmpany’s gal is t give yu a persnalized, n-demand answer instead f a standard set f dcuments matching yur query. But there’s mre t the picture.
Peple’s searching needs dn’t end with factual infrmatin. They lk fr ideas, pinins and advice. Lking fr suggestins abut hw t keep the cheese frm sliding ff yur pizza? Ggle will tell yu that yu shuld add sme glue t the sauce. While a reasnable user can understand that such shcking answers are likely t be wrng, it’s hard t detect that fr factual questins. Ggle has acknwledged issues with AI Overviews and said it has addressed them. But the cncern remains: Can yu really trust any answers yu receive thrugh this service?
There are alternatives. Yu can always g back t the traditinal Ggle search with its 10 blue links. Yu can then d what yu have likely dne fr decades nw — sift thrugh sme f the tp results, visit a few f thse sites and decide fr yurself. It des take a little wrk, but it gives yu back the ability t examine multiple sites and evidence t supprt r disprve smething. Mre imprtantly, yu leave pen the pssibilities fr learning and discvery.
AI Overviews is like fast fd that gets delivered thrugh a drive-thrugh windw—it’s quick, ht and cnvenient, but nt the healthiest chice. Perhaps yu can’t affrd t eat ut at a nice restaurant every time, but it’s imprtant t avid ending up ging thrugh a drive-thrugh fr all yur nutritin. After all, yu are what yu eat, and similarly, yu are hw yu search.
8. What is a feature f AI Overviews?
A. It highlights the credibility.B. It prvides individualized answers.
C. It prduces ptinal dcuments.D. It upgrades generative AI technlgy.
9. What des the authr indicate by mentining “cheese” and “pizza”?
A. Cheese is an imprtant ingredient f pizza.
B. Peple’s needs g beynd mere infrmatin.
C. AI Overviews deals with factual infrmatin well.
D. AI Overviews smetimes ffers unreasnable respnses.
10. What des the underlined phrase “sift thrugh” prbably mean in paragraph 4?
A. Srt thrugh.B. Wait fr.C. Predict.D. Summarize.
11. Which can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. AI Overviews: A Reliable Surce fr Query
B. AI Overviews: The End f Traditinal Search Engines
C. AI Overviews: Cnvenience at the Cst f Nutritin
D. AI Overviews: The Future f Learning and Discvery
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C

细节理解题。根据第二段的“The cmpany’s gal is t give yu a persnalized, n-demand answer instead f a standard set f dcuments matching yur query.(该公司的目标是为您提供个性化的、按需的答案，而不是一组与您的查询相匹配的标准文档)”可知，AI Overviews的一个特点是它提供个性化的答案。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“Lking fr suggestins abut hw t keep the cheese frm sliding ff yur pizza? Ggle will tell yu that yu shuld add sme glue t the sauce.While a reasnable user can understand that such shcking answers are likely t be wrng, it’s hard t detect that fr factual questins.(想知道如何防止奶酪从披萨上滑落吗？谷歌会告诉你，你应该往酱料里加些胶水。尽管一个理智的人可以理解，这种荒谬的答案很可能是错误的，但对于事实性问题，很难检测其准确性)”可推知，作者提到“奶酪”和“披萨”是为了说明AI Overviews有时会给出不合理的回答。故选D。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段的“There are alternatives. Yu can always g back t the traditinal Ggle search with its 10 blue links.(还有其他选择。你总是可以回到传统的谷歌搜索，它有10个蓝色链接)”以及划线单词所在的句子“visit a few f thse sites and decide fr yurself.(访问其中一些网站，并自己做出决定)”可知，回到传统的谷歌搜索，通过十个链接去搜索答案，在这些答案中可以筛选一些顶尖的结果，然后自己做出决定。所以“sift thrugh”的意思是“筛选，整理”。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是最后一段的“AI Overviews is like fast fd that gets delivered thrugh a drive-thrugh windw—it’s quick, ht and cnvenient, but nt the healthiest chice.(AI Overviews就像通过免下车窗口提供的快餐——它快速、热、方便，但不是最健康的选择)”可知，根据全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了谷歌新推出的AI Overviews功能，该功能虽提供便利但可能牺牲搜索结果的全面性和可靠性。所以“人工智能概述：以营养为代价的便利”适合作本文的标题。故选C。

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, published 200 years ag, is ften called the first mdern wrk f science fictin — s much s that even peple wh haven’t read it knw the stry: an ambitius yung scientist named Victr Frankenstein creates a human-like creature frm the spare parts f dead bdies, but he lses cntrl f his creatin, and chas fllws. It reflects the anxieties ver new ideas and new scientific knwledge that were abut t transfrm the very fabric f life in the 19th century.
Frankenstein is, f curse, a wrk f fictin, but a gd deal f real-life science infrms Shelley’s masterpiece, beginning with the adventure stry that frames Victr Frankenstein’s tale: that f Captain Waltn’s vyage t the Arctic. Waltn hpes t reach the Nrth Ple where he might “discver the pwer that attracts the needle” — referring t the then-mysterius frce f magnetism (磁力). The links between electricity and magnetism were a majr subject f investigatin during Shelley’s time, and a number f expeditins departed fr the Nrth and Suth Ples in the hpe f discvering the secrets f the planet’s magnetic field.
Erasmus Darwin is mentined in the intrductin t Frankenstein. There, Shelley claims that Darwin “preserved a piece f vermicelli in a glass case, till by sme extrardinary means it began t mve with a vluntary mtin”. She adds, “Perhaps a dead bdy wuld be brught back t life; galvanism (电击法) had shwn signs f such things: perhaps the cmpnent parts f a creature might be made, brught tgether, and given life.”
Hwever Frankenstein serves as mre than just a reflectin n scientific effrt; it is als a warning tale abut the mral respnsibilities f the creatr. Victr’s scientific experiments blind him t the ptential cnsequences f his wrk. When he realizes what damage the creature has dne, he is verwhelmed with regret. But he fails t relate t the creature, which leads t the miserable events that fllw. Victr Frankenstein’s failing isn’t his ver-enthusiasm fr science but his failing t cnnect emtinally with his creatin.
12. What d we knw abut Frankenstein?
A. It is influential.B. It reflects pp culture.
C. It targets scientists.D. It is based n a real stry.
13. Why des Captain Waltn cnduct his Arctic expeditin?
A. T map nrthern regins.
B. T uncver a mysterius frce.
C. T trace the rute f great vyagers.
D. T distinguish electricity frm magnetism.
14. What d Shelley’s wrds in paragraph 3 fcus n?
A. The significance f galvanismB. Her inspiratin fr the creature.
C. The prcedure fr creating a being.D. Her supprt fr Darwin’s research.
15. What message des Frankenstein cnvey?
A. Adventure can inspire creativity.
B. Regret can lead t miserable events.
C. Creatrs shuld wrk ut the rigin f life.
D. Scientific creatins shuld include mral cnsideratins.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了关于教学玩具是否具有教育功能，好的教育玩具的特点等。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Tys advertised as teaching STEM might seem like ne way t achieve this gal.”（宣传教STEM的玩具似乎是实现这一目标的一种方式。）以及下文“The answer is yes.Tys can indeed teach science, technlgy, engineering and math cncepts — but dn’t fcus n advertising r fancy labels t find the best bets.”（答案是肯定的。玩具确实可以教授科学、技术、工程和数学概念——但不要把注意力集中在广告或花哨的标签上，以找到最好的选择。）可知，下设空处为一般疑问句，就宣传教STEM的玩具是否真的能够帮助孩子学习进行提问。故A选项“它们真的有效吗?”切题。故选A项。
【17题详解】
根据上文“There’s n minimum educatinal requirement that tys must reach t label themselves a “STEM ty”, s almst everything n the market is untested.”（玩具要贴上“STEM玩具”的标签并没有最低的教育要求，所以市场上几乎所有的东西都是未经测试的。）可知，选项与上文为转折关系，说明要寻找哪类的玩具。故F选项“相反，寻找那些鼓励开放式、积极的游戏和解决问题的玩具。”切题；下文“Sme prven winners? Tinkertys, bard games, decks f cards and building blcks.”（一些被证实的赢家？修补玩具、棋盘游戏、扑克牌和积木。）承接F选项，列举了一些被证实具有教育功能的玩具。故选F项。
【18题详解】
下文“In preschl, fr example, the cnstructin f cmplex blck buildings is assciated with an imprvement in math learning. Blcks, puzzles and shape tys bst spatial skills. Spatial skills, in turn, are assciated with later math learning, suggesting that the early explratin f shapes acts as a springbard fr mre cmplex math cncepts.”（例如，在学前教育中，建造复杂的积木建筑与数学学习的提高有关。积木、拼图和形状玩具可以提高空间技能。反过来，空间技能与后来的数学学习有关，这表明早期对形状的探索是学习更复杂数学概念的跳板。）通过举例，具体说明了创造性的、开放式的游戏是幼儿学习STEM概念的方式。所以选项总起下文说明创造性的、开放式的游戏是幼儿学习STEM概念的方式。故G选项“研究表明，创造性的、开放式的游戏是幼儿学习STEM概念的方式。”切题。故选G项。
【19题详解】
上文“Tys that allw children t build and create als have the advantage f being renewable.”（让孩子们建造和创造的玩具也具有可再生的优势。）指出，让孩子们建造和创造的玩具具有可以变换更新的特点；C选项“每次返给孩子们时，他们都不一样。”承接上文，继续阐述这些玩具的特点，选项中“They”指代上文中的“Tys that allw children t build and create”，“different every time children return t them”与上文“renewable”相对应；下文“It means that kids dn’t becme bred with them easily.”（这意味着孩子们不会轻易对它们感到厌倦。）承接C选项，阐述这些玩具每次都不同所带来的益处，“It”指代C选项的内容。故选C项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“One useful tl adults can use while playing with their children is “math talk”. This kind f talk encurages kids t think mre deeply abut math.”（成年人可以使用与他们的孩子玩耍是“数学谈话”。这种谈话鼓励孩子们更深入地思考数学。）可知，选项承接上文说明“数学谈话”的优势。故E选项“方便的是，数学谈话根本不需要购买任何玩具。”切题。故选E项。

【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意：在过去的几十年里，全球气候发生了巨大变化。空处修饰名词climate，应用形容词glbal，意为“全球的”，作定语。故填glbal。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：当人们燃烧化石燃料产生大量额外的温室气体时，更多的热能被困在大气中，导致地球表面温度迅速上升。空处作主句的谓语，结合“is trapped”可知，时态为一般现在时，主语mre heat energy是不可数名词，cause“导致”应用第三人称单数形式。故填causes。
【38题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：因此，气候变化需要我们的关注，我们应该采取措施减少温室气体排放。空处作take的宾语，空前没有表示单数概念的修饰语，可数名词measure“措施，办法”应用复数形式，表泛指，动词短语take measures意为“采取措施”。故填measures。
B

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国古代书法、诗歌和绘画这三种艺术形式的起源、发展以及它们作为“三绝”在视觉艺术中的极致地位。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：在中国古代，书法、诗歌和绘画是分别进行的，无论是在宫廷还是在精英之间私下进行。空处需要副词修饰动词practiced。separate的副词形式为separately“分别地”。故填separately。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在7世纪，科举制度催生了一个新的士大夫阶层，他们通过知识获得了地位。空处引导限定性定语从句，修饰先行词“schlar-fficials”。先行词指人，在定语从句中作主语，所以用关系代词wh引导该从句。故填wh。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：从那时起，这三种艺术就被联系起来，并被视为视觉艺术中的极致，简称为“三绝”。根据句意可知，空处需要介词as“作为”，此处表示书法、诗歌和绘画作为视觉艺术中的极致被欣赏。故填as。

【42题详解】
考查冠词。 句意：白领郑怡珊现在称自己为“办公室农民”，本月早些时候收获了她的第一批桌面香蕉。空处需要不定冠词表示泛指，此处指“郑怡珊称自己是一个‘办公室农民’”。由于空后为元音音素开始的单词，所以用不定冠词an。故填an。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。 句意：她说种水果是一个极好的缓解压力的方法，解释说当一个绿色的香蕉（其中文名与“焦虑”相似）变黄时，它象征着忧虑的消逝。空处需要非谓语动词作伴随状语，该动词和其逻辑主语she之间为主动关系，且与主句的动作同时发生，所以用现在分词作伴随状语。故填explaining。
【44题详解】
考查时态和语态。 句意：这样的植物很容易照料，因为大多数植物在交付时都带着半熟的果实。空处为原因状语从句的谓语动词。句子描述一般事实，所以用一般现在时态，且主语mst (plants)和该动词之间为被动关系。故填are delivered。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：“办公室农民”只需要定期换水，给植物的容器轻轻刷洗，并添加植物营养液。根据空前的plant’s可知，空处需要名词。根据句意可知，“办公室农民”需要刷洗植物的容器。cntainer为名词“容器”，符合语境。故填cntainer。

I had bked the flights in smewhat f a hurry with just a carry-n bag, thinking 7 kgs was enugh fr a 3-day trip t Taup. I thught I’d given myself enugh time t get t the airprt, hwever, as ften was the case, I was running late and had t pack my bag with little time left. Cnfused abut what t carry, I stuffed all the clthes in my little bag, taking n ntice f the weight.
Thirty minutes befre the flight, I was waiting at my terminal (航站楼) in the airprt and culdn’t stp smiling. I was t excited t g n a much-needed trip. A little while later, I heard an annuncement “Passengers flying t Taup n Flight NZ5091 are requested t weigh yur cabin luggage and cllect yur tag”. I std in the line waiting fr my turn, clueless abut hw much my bag wuld weigh, deep inside hping nt ver the weight limit.
When it was my turn, I placed my bag n the weighing scale and whaaaa!! It was 9.4 kgs. I asked the flight attendant if I culd buy $20 extra luggage allwance (行李费) as shwn n the app but I was t late fr it. Instead, I was asked t pay an additinal fee f $65. I either had t pay r leave smething away t bring it dwn t 7 kgs. I asked the attendant whether they wuld give my stuff back t me if I returned 3 days later and surprisingly I was tld I wuldn’t get it back.
T me, a bad luggage experience had the pwer t cmpletely sur a trip. With n ther alternatives, I decided t give up sme f my stuff. Unsettled, annyed, disappinted! As I started remving the items, I saw a lady appraching me. It lked like she had heard the whle thing. She sat dwn next t me. “Are yu OK? I shuld be able t help yu.” She said.

【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章主要讲述了作者在登机前很是匆忙，并没有检查行李箱的重量，结果在登机时，被要求额外支付65美元的费用。在没有其他选择定放弃自己的一些东西时，一位女士主动提出可以把超重的行李转移到她的包里，并在飞机降落后主动归还了作者的物品。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我惊讶地抬起头，看见她指着她的包。”。可知，第一段可描写陌生人帮助了作者使得作者成功登机而没有支付额外的费用，但是登机之后，作者对陌生人没有太多的了解。
②由第二段首句内容“正当我还在担心能否拿回我的东西时，飞机降落了”可知，第二段可描写作者的担心，最终陌生人主动归还了作者的物品，作者表示感激以及感悟。
2. 续写线索：作者惊呆——得到陌生人的帮助——成功登机——不了解陌生人——有些担忧——陌生人主动归还物品——感激——感悟
