第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Cities are taking steps to support wildlife populations and educate citizens about the importance of the environment. Here are four of the most wildlife-friendly cities in the United States.
Austin, Texas
Austin, the capital of Texas, earns the rank as the top city for wildlife in large part due to its work to help improve declining monarch butterfly populations. Austin sits within the main migration pattern of the monarch, which means that monarch butterflies pass through it twice annually. Austin also leads all US cities with 2,616 certified (经认证的)wildlife habitats.
Atlanta, Georgia
Atlanta secures the second-place ranking thanks to its Climate Action Plan, which aims to expand on the 3,000 acres of parks that the city already manages. Already classified by the US Forest Service as one of the most forested urban centers in the country, Atlanta also calls fbr planting more trees and creating more green spaces based on its climate plan. Six neighborhoods in Atlanta have been designated (指定)as Community Wildlife Habitats. Put together, these areas of vegetation can help reduce the urban heat island effect in the city.
Seattle, Washington
Seattle is home to 489 parks that span 6,441 acres, including 2,500 acres of forested public land. The city’s largest park, Discovery Park, covers 534 acres and serves as an important protected area fbr birds and marine animals. Due to the amount of forested land in Seattle, the researchers use the city to study how urban environments can be designed to support wildlife. The Seattle Urban Project enlists the community to report wildlife sightings, which helps to demonstrate how and where flesh-eating mammals can coexist with humans.
Chula Vista, California
Chula Vista, a city in southern California, ranks high on the list due to its efforts to combat water use issues. The city’s NatureScape Program encourages citizens to replace lawns with gardens of native plants that attract pollinators (传粉昆虫)and conserve water. The city has also formed the CLEAN group, a partnership between the government, businesses and community groups designed to address environmental issues.
1. What is special about the city Austin, Texas?
A. It manages the largest green spaces.
B. It owns the largest number of parks.
C. It can report the most wildlife sightings.
D. It has got the most certified wildlife habitats in the US.
2. What do the researchers in Seattle try to find out?
A. How to build more parks in the city.
B. How to make the city wildlife-friendly.
C. How to improve biodiversity in the city.
D. How to make the city more livable fbr humans.
3. Which of the following contributes to helping more native plants to reproduce?
A. The CLEAN group.
B. The Climate Action Plan.
C. The Seattle Urban Project.
D. The Nature Scape Program.
B
I woke to the sound of birds outside my window and lay in bed, going over the busy day ahead of me. Finally, I got up and attempted to switch on the light — nothing happened. I checked my phone. No Wi-Fi, no data. With our unstable cell service, there was no way of knowing if we had received alerts fbr a power failure. I grabbed a sweater, went downstairs, found a flashlight and a match to light the gas stove, and then boiled water to brew coffee. Outside the window, the falling snow obscured (遮蔽) the sunrise. Deep piles of snow covered the road.
My work meetings and deadlines, my sons’ classes and tests, my husband’s plans — everything would have to wait. Why does this happen today of all days?“ I asked. Thankfully, the wood stove was still going strong. I took a deep breath. I supposed we had everything we needed.
The house was quiet as I sipped my coffee and cuddled (搂抱) our dog. One by one, my husband and sons came downstairs and complained about the turn the day had taken.
I opened the curtains to let light in. We gathered around the table and had cereal. After breakfast, my husband played a game of solitaire. Then my sons joined him in building a house of cards that reached three levels until our cat jumped up to investigate and knocked it down. We played a round of Scrabble and had my favorite snow day lunch: grilled cheese and tomato soup.
Then we took a long walk in the woods behind our house, walking along the stream. We spotted deer tracks and played in the snow that was coming down in big fluffy flakes. When we returned, all the clocks in the house were blinking. I started to make dinner, happy to have things back to normal — even better than normal.
It was a day that began without electricity, cut off from the rest of the world, and ended with hot chocolate and power restored. We were recharged by the unexpected gift of a day together.
4. What did the author find when she woke up?
A. Heavy snow trapped the family in the house.
B. The electricity supply had been cut off.
C. It was still early for breakfast.
D. Her phone wouldn’t be turned on.
5. What was the direct impact of the power cut on the author’s family?
A. Their arrangements were upset.
B. They had to serve themselves with simple meals.
C. The family encountered a shortage of supplies.
D. Everyone was angry about this unexpected event.
6. Why did the author describe their family activities on that day?
A. To pave the way for her insight.
B. To present the daily life of the family.
C. To show the close family relationship.
D. To create a lighthearted atmosphere.
7. What did that day mean to the author?
A. It was a temporary disaster.
B. It was a day full of exciting adventures.
C. It was a lovely day of family togetherness.
D. It was a rare moment of leisure and freedom.
C
Wildlife crossings, which are human-made structures like underpasses, overpasses, or culverts (涵洞) that help animals move safely around their habitat, don’t just protect animals and biodiversity. They can also reduce the number of car collisions and save significant money, a new study finds.
“I thought it would be useful to provide some information on the financial benefits of wildlife crossing structures for policymakers, transportation planners, and conservationists”, says Wisnu Sugiarto, the author of the study.
For this study, Sugiarto studied collision information from the Washington State Department of Transportation. He examined data for 13 of the 22 wildlife crossings in Washington State from 2011 to 2020. Then he made adjustments based on how close the crossings were to other structures and the time it took to build them. He compared the numbers of wildlife-vehicle collisions each year before and after the construction of a wildlife crossing. Then he compared his analysis to that of a separate area in the state with no crossings at all.
“The findings reported that wildlife crossing structures reduced the number of wildlife-vehicle collisions (碰撞)by one to three accidents on average per mile per year, but not all structures had statistically significant effects”,Sugiarto says.
Using financial estimates from other research, he determined that a wildlife crossing offers an annual benefit of between $235,000 and $443,000 every year. ”Earlier studies focused on wildlife crossings in North Carolina, Utah, and Wyoming. They found wildlife underpasses and fencing could improve road safety, he says. “My findings complement the earlier studies and are also in favor of improving road safety.”
Besides, the findings are timely. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act passed in 2021 includes $350 million over five years for the construction of wildlife crossings.
‘‘Before working on this research, I wasn’t aware of any strategies to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions. I also thought we couldn’t do much about it, partly because we can’t communicate with wildlifb or control their movement”, Sugiarto says. “However, it turns out that there are multiple strategies to handle issues related to wildlife-vehicle collisions and that we can do something about them.”
8. What did Sugiarto think about conducting the study in paragraph 2?
A. It is necessary.
B. It is cost effective.
C. It is difficult to conduct.
D. It would educate the pedestrians.
9. How did Sugiarto conduct his study?
A. By turning to previous findings.
B. By refening to professional data.
C. By analyzing the cause of collisions.
D. By interviewing different passers-by.
10. Why are Sugiarto's findings considered to be timely?
A. They offer a way to ensure road safety.
B. They draw public attention to collisions.
C. They help improve the safety of wildlifb crossings.
D. They provide evidence for new policies on wildlife crossings.
11. What is the effect of the study on Sugiarto?
A. It makes him famous.
B. It gives him new topics to explore.
C. It changes his view on wildlife-vehicle collisions.
D. It provides inspiration for him to communicate with wildlife.
D
Towns across Italy have been racing to launch clever plans aimed at attracting new residents to revive (复兴)their fortunes in recent years. From abandoned homes selling for little more than a euro, to ready- to-occupy houses at knockdown prices, there has been a rush of competition.
The picturesque town of Presicce in the sunny region of Puglia is the latest to enter the game with a very tempting offer. Officials say they will pay people up to 30,000 euros to buy an empty house and take up residency. Even better, the houses up fbr sale as part of the deal are priced from around 25,000 euros.
Authorities in Presicce hope the cash motivation will breathe new life into their depopulating town, where newborns are fewer each year.
Presicce dates back to the middle Ages, flourishing during the Renaissance as a prosperous place known for its fine wine, cheeses and cattle trade. It gains a reputation as Puglia’s “town of green gold” for green olive trees and olive oil. Its location is incredible, surrounded by the nature of the Salento area and close to beautiful beaches and clear waters of Santa Maria di Leuca.
“There are many empty homes in the historical center built before 1991 which we would like to see alive again with new residents” says local councilor Alfredo Palese. It is a pity witnessing how our old districts full of history, wonderful architecture and art are slowly emptying. The details of the deal are currently being finalized, Palese adds, and authorities are ready to launch applications in upcoming weeks when information will be available on the town hall website.
According to Palese, a 2019 merger (合并)with the nearby town Acquarica to create the larger town Presicce-Acquarica has provided them with extra money to ensure the project can continue for years to come. “After the merger, as per Italian law, our wider territory will be blessed with more public funds, roughly 1,000,000 euros per year for several years forward, which we intend to invest to revitalize (振兴) the old district, ” says Palese.
Together, Presicce and Acquarica now have some 9,000 inhabitants, but only half of the population live in the older part of the community.
The town hall has already launched other plans to attract more residents, including tax benefits to set up new business activities and baby bonuses for families with kids.
12. What problem do many Italian towns face according to the text?
A. Population decline. B. Financial crisis. C. Falling tourism. D. High living cost.
13 What does the underlined word “tempting” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Risky. B. Informal. C. Attractive. D. Conditional.
14 What is the purpose of paragraph 4?
A. To show Presicce’s past glory.
B. To recommend a travel destination.
C. To point out the economy of Presicce.
D. To stress the importance of reviving Presicce.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. An Italian town’s welfare system.
B. An Italian town’s recovery strategy.
C. An Italian town’s long-term plan.
D. An Italian town’s current situation.

My ten-year-old self loved summertime. The best part of summer was the community pool. Everyone was there.
We didn’t have a care in the world. Our biggest concern was which one of us could hold her breath underwater the longest. We didn’t care what we looked like or who was cool. I never once thought about how I looked in a swimsuit or if my hair looked good. I was aware that I wasn’t super-thin like some of the other girls I saw, but I didn’t care.
And then one day, I was taking my turn on the diving board with all the other kids. I jumped in, floated freely to the top and swam over to the ladder to make my way out of the pool. I noticed a girl standing at the top of the ladder, so I swam slowly, giving her time to move. I didn’t know her. She looked cute and thin.
But instead of moving, a strange thing happened. This girl leaned over the pool and said to me, “They don’t allow beached (搁浅的) whales in this pool.”
Beached whales? I soon realized that I was the beached whale. Suddenly, my cool blue swimsuit didn’t cover enough. I got out of the pool quickly and wrapped my towel around my body, feeling like I was going to throw up. From that moment on, I was aware of my size.
Clothes became a horrible dream, and I struggled through my teen years and into adulthood. I cried over clothes that didn’t fit. My heart had always hated the little girl by the pool, who took the confidence out of my life until I got my daughter, Lisa.
One day I dressed my little girl in beautiful clothes and put a bow (蝴蝶结) on her head, but she refused because she liked to be comfortable. Is society interested in comfort? However, when I stared at her, I suddenly realized how beautiful she was, even though she was covered in mud.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
When Lisa was ten, I came across a picture of myself when I was ten and I showed it to her.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then I told her the story of the little girl by the pool.

I woke to the sound of birds outside my window and lay in bed, going over the busy day ahead of me. Finally, I got up and attempted to switch on the light — nothing happened. I checked my phone. No Wi-Fi, no data. With our unstable cell service, there was no way of knowing if we had received alerts fbr a power failure. I grabbed a sweater, went downstairs, found a flashlight and a match to light the gas stove, and then boiled water to brew coffee. Outside the window, the falling snow obscured (遮蔽) the sunrise. Deep piles of snow covered the road.
My work meetings and deadlines, my sons’ classes and tests, my husband’s plans — everything would have to wait. Why does this happen today of all days?“ I asked. Thankfully, the wood stove was still going strong. I took a deep breath. I supposed we had everything we needed.
The house was quiet as I sipped my coffee and cuddled (搂抱) our dog. One by one, my husband and sons came downstairs and complained about the turn the day had taken.
I opened the curtains to let light in. We gathered around the table and had cereal. After breakfast my husband played a game of solitaire. Then my sons joined him in building a house of cards that reached three levels until our cat jumped up to investigate and knocked it down. We played a round of Scrabble and had my favorite snow day lunch: grilled cheese and tomato soup.
Then we took a long walk in the woods behind our house, walking along the stream. We spotted deer tracks and played in the snow that was coming down in big fluffy flakes. When we returned, all the clocks in the house were blinking. I started to make dinner, happy to have things back to normal — even better than normal.
It was a day that began without electricity, cut off from the rest of the world, and ended with hot chocolate and power restored. We were recharged by the unexpected gift of a day together.
4. What did the author find when she woke up?
A. Heavy snow trapped the family in the house.
B. The electricity supply had been cut off.
C. It was still early for breakfast.
D. Her phone wouldn’t be turned on.
5. What was the direct impact of the power cut on the author’s family?
A. Their arrangements were upset.
B. They had to serve themselves with simple meals.
C. The family encountered a shortage of supplies.
D. Everyone was angry about this unexpected event.
6. Why did the author describe their family activities on that day?
A. To pave the way for her insight.
B. To present the daily life of the family.
C. To show the close family relationship.
D. To create a lighthearted atmosphere.
7. What did that day mean to the author?
A. It was a temporary disaster.
B. It was a day full of exciting adventures.
C. It was a lovely day of family togetherness.
D. It was a rare moment of leisure and freedom.

Wildlife crossings, which are human-made structures like underpasses, overpasses, or culverts (涵洞) that help animals move safely around their habitat, don’t just protect animals and biodiversity. They can also reduce the number of car collisions and save significant money, a new study finds.
“I thought it would be useful to provide some information on the financial benefits of wildlife crossing structures for policymakers, transportation planners, and conservationists”, says Wisnu Sugiarto, the author of the study.
For this study, Sugiarto studied collision information from the Washington State Department of Transportation. He examined data for 13 of the 22 wildlife crossings in Washington State from 2011 to 2020. Then he made adjustments based on how close the crossings were to other structures and the time it took to build them. He compared the numbers of wildlife-vehicle collisions each year before and after the construction of a wildlife crossing. Then he compared his analysis to that of a separate area in the state with no crossings at all.
“The findings reported that wildlife crossing structures reduced the number of wildlife-vehicle collisions (碰撞)by one to three accidents on average per mile per year, but not all structures had statistically significant effects”,Sugiarto says.
Using financial estimates from other research, he determined that a wildlife crossing offers an annual benefit of between $235,000 and $443,000 every year. ”Earlier studies focused on wildlife crossings in North Carolina, Utah, and Wyoming. They found wildlife underpasses and fencing could improve road safety, he says. “My findings complement the earlier studies and are also in favor of improving road safety.”
Besides, the findings are timely. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act passed in 2021 includes $350 million over five years for the construction of wildlife crossings.
‘‘Before working on this research, I wasn’t aware of any strategies to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions. I also thought we couldn’t do much about it, partly because we can’t communicate with wildlifb or control their movement”, Sugiarto says. “However, it turns out that there are multiple strategies to handle issues related to wildlife-vehicle collisions and that we can do something about them.”
8. What did Sugiarto think about conducting the study in paragraph 2?
A. It is necessary.
B. It is cost effective.
C. It is difficult to conduct.
D. It would educate the pedestrians.
9. How did Sugiarto conduct his study?
A. By turning to previous findings.
B. By refening to professional data.
C. By analyzing the cause of collisions.
D. By interviewing different passers-by.
10. Why are Sugiarto's findings considered to be timely?
A. They offer a way to ensure road safety.
B. They draw public attention to collisions.
C. They help improve the safety of wildlifb crossings.
D. They provide evidence for new policies on wildlife crossings.
11. What is the effect of the study on Sugiarto?
A. It makes him famous.
B. It gives him new topics to explore.
C. It changes his view on wildlife-vehicle collisions.
D. It provides inspiration for him to communicate with wildlife.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍的是野生动物过境点是人造结构，如地下通道、天桥或涵洞，帮助动物安全地在栖息地周围移动，不仅保护动物和生物多样性。一项新的研究发现，它们还可以减少汽车碰撞的次数，节省大量资金。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“I thought it would be useful to provide some information on the financial benefits of wildlife crossing structures for policymakers, transportation planners, and conservationists(我认为，为政策制定者、交通规划者和环保主义者提供一些关于野生动物过境结构的经济效益的信息将是有用的。)”可知，Sugiarto认为该研究对政策制定者、交通规划者和环保主义者提供了一些关于野生动物国境结构的经济效用的信息，这是有用的，故表示这些提供的信息是必要的。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“He examined data for 13 of the 22 wildlife crossings in Washington State from 2011 to 2020. Then he made adjustments based on how close the crossings were to other structures and the time it took to build them. (他研究了2011年至2020年华盛顿州22个野生动物过境点中13个的数据。然后，他根据十字路口与其他建筑物的距离以及建造它们所需的时间进行了调整。)”可知，该项研究通过对专业数据的分析而开展的。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Besides, the findings are timely. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act passed in 2021 includes $350 million over five years for the construction of wildlife crossings.(此外，这些发现是及时的。2021年通过的《基础设施投资和就业法案》包括在五年内为野生动物过境点建设提供3.5亿美元。)”可知，正是这项研究发现及时地公布，才通过了《基础设施投资和就业法案》，由此为野生动物过境点建设提供3.5亿美元。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Before working on this research, I wasn’t aware of any strategies to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions.(在从事这项研究之前，我不知道有任何减少野生动物车辆碰撞的策略。)”以及“However, it turns out that there are multiple strategies to handle issues related to wildlife-vehicle collisions and that we can do something about them.(然而，事实证明，有多种策略可以处理与野生动物车辆碰撞有关的问题，我们可以对此采取一些措施。)”可知，通过该项研究，改变了他对野生动物车辆碰撞的看法。故选C。

Towns across Italy have been racing to launch clever plans aimed at attracting new residents to revive (复兴)their fortunes in recent years. From abandoned homes selling for little more than a euro, to ready- to-occupy houses at knockdown prices, there has been a rush of competition.
The picturesque town of Presicce in the sunny region of Puglia is the latest to enter the game with a very tempting offer. Officials say they will pay people up to 30,000 euros to buy an empty house and take up residency. Even better, the houses up fbr sale as part of the deal are priced from around 25,000 euros.
Authorities in Presicce hope the cash motivation will breathe new life into their depopulating town, where newborns are fewer each year.
Presicce dates back to the middle Ages, flourishing during the Renaissance as a prosperous place known for its fine wine, cheeses and cattle trade. It gains a reputation as Puglia’s “town of green gold” for green olive trees and olive oil. Its location is incredible, surrounded by the nature of the Salento area and close to beautiful beaches and clear waters of Santa Maria di Leuca.
“There are many empty homes in the historical center built before 1991 which we would like to see alive again with new residents,” says local councilor Alfredo Palese. It is a pity witnessing how our old districts full of history, wonderful architecture and art are slowly emptying. The details of the deal are currently being finalized, Palese adds, and authorities are ready to launch applications in upcoming weeks when information will be available on the town hall website.
According to Palese, a 2019 merger (合并)with the nearby town Acquarica to create the larger town Presicce-Acquarica has provided them with extra money to ensure the project can continue for years to come. “After the merger, as per Italian law, our wider territory will be blessed with more public funds, roughly 1,000,000 euros per year for several years forward, which we intend to invest to revitalize (振兴) the old district, ” says Palese.
Together, Presicce and Acquarica now have some 9,000 inhabitants, but only half of the population live in the older part of the community.
The town hall has already launched other plans to attract more residents, including tax benefits to set up new business activities and baby bonuses for families with kids.
12. What problem do many Italian towns face according to the text?
A. Population decline. B. Financial crisis. C. Falling tourism. D. High living cost.
13. What does the underlined word “tempting” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Risky. B. Informal. C. Attractive. D. Conditional.
14. What is the purpose of paragraph 4?
A. To show Presicce’s past glory.
B. To recommend a travel destination.
C. To point out the economy of Presicce.
D To stress the importance of reviving Presicce.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. An Italian town’s welfare system.
B. An Italian town’s recovery strategy.
C. An Italian town’s long-term plan.
D. An Italian town’s current situation.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】

推理判断题。根据第一段“Towns across Italy have been racing to launch clever plans aimed at attracting new residents to revive their fortunes in recent years. From abandoned homes selling for little more than a euro, to ready- to-occupy houses at knockdown prices, there has been a rush of competition.”（近年来，意大利各地城镇都在竞相推出巧妙的计划，旨在吸引新居民来振兴它们的经济。从售价略高于一欧元的废弃房屋，到价格极低的待入住房屋，竞争激烈。）以及“Authorities in Presicce hope the cash motivation will breathe new life into their depopulating town, where newborns are fewer each year.”（普雷西切镇政府希望，现金激励能给这个人口不断减少的小镇注入新的活力，这里的新生儿每年都在减少。）可推知，根据文中，许多意大利城镇面临人口下降的问题。故选A项。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段中“Towns across Italy have been racing to launch clever plans aimed at attracting new residents to revive their fortunes in recent years.”（近年来，意大利各地城镇都在竞相推出巧妙的计划，旨在吸引新居民来振兴它们的经济。）以及划线单词句中的“The picturesque town of Presicce in the sunny region of Puglia is…”（风景如画的普雷西切镇位于阳光明媚的普利亚地区，是……）和offer提议，可推知，风景如画的普雷西切镇位于阳光明媚的普利亚地区，是最新进入这个巧妙计划的一个非常诱人的提议。故可猜测划线单词tempting为“诱人的，吸引人的”意思，结合选项C项Attractive“吸引人的”意思一致。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Presicce dates back to the middle Ages, flourishing during the Renaissance as a prosperous place known for its fine wine, cheeses and cattle trade. It gains a reputation as Puglia’s “town of green gold” for green olive trees and olive oil. Its location is incredible, surrounded by the nature of the Salento area and close to beautiful beaches and clear waters of Santa Maria di Leuca.”（普雷西切的历史可以追溯到中世纪，在文艺复兴时期是一个繁荣的地方，以其优质的葡萄酒、奶酪和牲畜贸易而闻名。由于绿色的橄榄树和橄榄油，它获得了普利亚“绿色黄金之城”的美誉。它的地理位置令人难以置信，被萨伦托地区的自然所包围，靠近美丽的海滩和圣玛丽亚迪卢卡的清澈水域。）可推知，第4段的目的是强调复兴普雷西切的重要性。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第二段“The picturesque town of Presicce in the sunny region of Puglia is the latest to enter the game with a very tempting offer.

Even better, the houses up for sale as part of the deal are priced from around 25,000 euros.”（风景如画的普雷西切镇位于阳光明媚的普利亚地区，是最新进入这个巧妙计划的一个非常诱人的提议。官员们表示，他们将向购买空置房屋并获得居住权的人支付3万欧元。更棒的是，作为交易的一部分，这些房子的价格从2.5万欧元左右起。）以及最后一段“The town hall has already launched other plans to attract more residents, including tax benefits to set up new business activities and baby bonuses for families with kids.”（市政厅已经推出了其他计划来吸引更多的居民，包括税收优惠以建立新的商业活动，以及为有孩子的家庭提供婴儿奖金。）可知，文章主要讲的是一个意大利小镇——普雷西切镇的复苏策略。故选B项。

【36题详解】
考查介词。句意：它引发了对国家硬科技的热议，以及公众对电影衍生产品的浓厚兴趣。interest in…对……的兴趣，固定搭配，故填in。
【37题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：北京影评人Shi Wenxue表示：“正是中国科技实力，使得这部科幻大片中的硬科技元素如此令人信服。”他指出，多亏了科技创新和中国的太空热，这部电影点燃了一把火。element元素，可数名词，此处应用复数形式表示泛指，故填elements。
【38题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意同上。reviewer是可数名词，此处泛指“一位北京影评人”，应用不定冠词。故填a。
【39题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：这部备受期待的《流浪地球》前传同样由郭帆执导，吴京、刘德华和李雪健主演，讲述了在太阳迅速燃烧殆尽之际，人类建造巨大的发动机将地球推向一个新的太阳系的故事。空处是句子的谓语动词，句子是描述一个事实，应用一般现在时，主语prequel是第三人称单数，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，故填tells。

考查连词。句意同上。such as表示列举，结合句意可知，空前后所列举的内容是并列关系，应用连词and连接，故填and。

【45题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：导演郭表示：“国家科技实力的提升是我们拍科幻片的最大基础。” foundation前有形容词最高级修饰，故此处用动词不定式复合结构作后置定语，故填to make。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My ten-year-old self loved summertime. The best part of summer was the community pool. Everyone was there.
We didn’t have a care in the world. Our biggest concern was which one of us could hold her breath underwater the longest. We didn’t care what we looked like or who was cool. I never once thought about how I looked in a swimsuit or if my hair looked good. I was aware that I wasn’t super-thin like some of the other girls I saw, but I didn’t care.
And then one day, I was taking my turn on the diving board with all the other kids. I jumped in, floated freely to the top and swam over to the ladder to make my way out of the pool. I noticed a girl standing at the top of the ladder, so I swam slowly, giving her time to move. I didn’t know her. She looked cute and thin.
But instead of moving, a strange thing happened. This girl leaned over the pool and said to me, “They don’t allow beached (搁浅的) whales in this pool.”
Beached whales? I soon realized that I was the beached whale. Suddenly, my cool blue swimsuit didn’t cover enough. I got out of the pool quickly and wrapped my towel around my body, feeling like I was going to throw up. From that moment on, I was aware of my size.
Clothes became a horrible dream, and I struggled through my teen years and into adulthood. I cried over clothes that didn’t fit. My heart had always hated the little girl by the pool, who took the confidence out of my life until I got my daughter, Lisa.
One day I dressed my little girl in beautiful clothes and put a bow (蝴蝶结) on her head, but she refused because she liked to be comfortable. Is society interested in comfort? However, when I stared at her, I suddenly realized how beautiful she was, even though she was covered in mud.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
When Lisa was ten, I came across a picture of myself when I was ten and I showed it to her.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then I told her the story of the little girl by the pool.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
When Lisa was ten, I came across a picture of myself when I was ten and I showed it to her: “That’s me!” she said with a smile. But I shook my head. We could have been twins. Yes, she looked just like me, and I thought she was a beautiful and smart girl, full of confidence. What a pity I had missed myself. The fat little girl in the photo looked at me, as if she was reminding me that I was not a beached whale, but a beautiful little girl with dreams and gifts. Something started to stir in my mind.
Then I told her the story of the little girl by the pool. After hearing my story, Lisa was a bit confused about my life’s being shaped because of a hateful little girl’s words. But I explained quickly that I had already forgiven her. Anyhow, that was life, and you must find yourself once again. With this, Lisa smiled at me, “Oh, it seems that I’m a really lucky daughter, because I have a beautiful good mother. Time to swim now!”Watching her lively figure going away, I strongly believed that life is not measured by the size of our clothes but by who we are.
