　　For Vishwanath Mallabadi from Bangalore, India, there is no such thing as a useless object or “waste”. Give him anything—abandoned metal or plastic items, old devices, dysfunctional printed circuit boards—and he'll create art out of it.
Vishwanath's passion is particularly relevant in the current age, where India generates more e-waste than it can recycle. From 2019 to 2020, the country generated a total of more than 1 million tones of e-waste. Of this, only 22.7 percent was collected, taken apart and recycled. The eco-artist has upcycled and transformed nearly 200 kg of e-waste into usable products and proposes eco-art as a means to deal with waste management.
Vishwanath's father, D M Shambhu, was a famous sculptor and painter, but he wanted his son to choose medicine and become a doctor. However, Vishwanath, who was interested in upcycling second-hand objects right from childhood, decided to pursue a BFA in Applied Art. He later went on to work in a company as a high-level administrator and retired two years ago. “In my free time and during the weekends, I used to conduct experiments in e-waste and try to develop something unique,” he recalled.
So far, the eco-artist has created more than 500 objects. These include a six-foot-tall sculpture made from upcycled computer keyboard keys, and a painting inspired by Vincent van Gogh's The Starry Night, using upcycled resistors (電阻器) on wood. Among his other artworks are a 42×38 inch figure statue created from upcycled keyboard keys on a sun board finished with plastics, a deer made of colourful used wires, plants and flowers from computer parts, and eco jewellery from upcycled digital wrist watch parts.
“The work involves selecting the e-waste objects—the texture, shape, and colour etc., and visualising and conceptualising the final product. It might take weeks and months for sculptures. However, sustainable initiatives and upcycled art are nowadays in demand in multinational companies opting for a sustainable culture,” he said.
24.What does the author try to convey in Paragraph 2
A.The seriousness of e-waste in India.
B.Vishwanath's passion for environment protection.
C.The achievements of waste management in India.
D.Vishwanath's attitude towards dealing with e-waste.
25.What did Vishwanath work as before retiring
A.A passionate eco-artist.　　　　B.A private doctor.
C.A famous sculptor.　　　　D.A senior manager.
26.Which of the artworks were made of the same materials
A.The deer and the plants.
B.The sculpture and the figure statue.
C.The painting and the flowers.
D.The deer and the eco jewellery.
27.What does Vishwanath think of his working on eco-art
A.Exciting but unprofitable.　　　　B.Creative but useless.
C.Demanding but worthwhile.　　　　D.Efficient but costly.

　　From the world's last seven to a global population of more than 5,000, China spent nearly 40 years bringing back crested ibises (朱鹮) from the edge of extinction.
With its typical red crest and face, as well as a long black mouth and snow-white feathers, the crested ibis is known as “the oriental gem” in China. They were once widespread in East Asia and Siberia until the 20th century when hunting, ecological damage and increased human activities drove the birds to near extinction.
In 1981, the entire species around the world was down to the seven crested ibises which were found only in Yangxian County, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, and deep in the Qinling Mountains, making Qinling, a natural boundary between China's north and south, the last shelter of the wild birds.
Since 1981, the local government of Yangxian County has put forward four bans on the protection of the species, prohibiting activities including hunting in the birds' living areas, cutting down trees where they nest, using chemicals in their food-finding areas, and firing guns in their breeding (繁殖) areas. The Chinese government arranged special funds to protect the habitat of crested ibises, sealing off mountains to plant trees in the birds' living areas. China started the artificial breeding of crested ibises in 1991 and had bred more than 400 birds in Shaanxi as of last year.
Years of constant effort have brought promising results. It is estimated that there are more than 5,000 crested ibises in the world now, and a majority of them live in Shaanxi. The birds' habitat in China has risen from less than 5 square km in 1981 to the current 15,000 square km.
“It is lucky that the crested ibis, an ancient bird, is still flying around,” said Zan Linsen, head of the Shaanxi Academy of Forestry. “The conservation story of crested ibises not only shows us the power of ancient life, but also the necessity and urgency of ecological environment protection.”
28.Why are the Qinling Mountains so important to crested ibises
A.They are where crested ibises were first found.
B.They used to be the last habitat of crested ibises.
C.They are the only breeding area of crested ibises.
D.They protect crested ibises from natural enemies.
29.What can we conclude from Paragraph 4
A.Crested ibises are unlikely to be bred artificially.
B.It's legal to own hunting guns in Yangxian County.
C.Hunting has been the biggest threat to crested ibises.
D.The government plays a key role in saving crested ibises.
30.How does Zan Linsen feel about the conservation results of crested ibises
A.Merciful and ambitious.　　　　B.Relieved and happy.
C.Shocked and curious.　　　　D.Sorry and regretful.
31.What is a suitable title for the text
A.Rare animals in China: crested ibises
B.Artificial breeding of crested ibises in China
C.Endangered crested ibises making a comeback
D.Crested ibises found again in the Qinling Mountains

　　Could a new treatment developed by the US company Lilly mean “the beginning of the end of Alzheimer's (阿爾茨海默病)” Could we even cure it some day These are headlines and questions swirling (流傳) around after news of a new drug, called donanemab, showed promising results in phase-3 trials.
The brain science behind Alzheimer's is complex, but CT and MRI scans suggest that poisonous changes occur in the brain, including the abnormal build-up of proteins called amyloid plaques and tau tangles. The damage starts in the parts of the brain essential for forming memories but then spreads throughout the organ, with brain tissue shrinking significantly.
Developing treatments for Alzheimer's has been a challenge, with almost 20 years passing with no new drugs. But in the last year, two new ones have emerged: donanemab and lecanemab. Neither are cures nor magic bullets for the disease, but they do address key symptoms. They target the amyloid proteins that can accumulate in the brain and damage neurons, slowing down its progression.
While this news is exciting, there are major caveats. One is whether it will ever become available on the NHS. The cost is estimated to be about ￡20,000 per person per year of treatment.
Another is the serious side-effects: in the study, brain swelling occurred in 24% of participants and brain bleeding occurred in 31.4% on the drug compared with 13.6% in the placebo (安慰藥) group. There were also three deaths during the trial.
Part of the problem for me, as an academic, in assessing the drug is that the full results of the trial haven't yet been shared publicly or published in a peer-reviewed journal. We cannot access the full data or examine the trial yet, and there is always a motivation for private companies to overstate the effectiveness of new drugs. Trial results need to be assessed by an independent body of experts.
While it is unlikely to change clinical practice until at least 2025, the news of donanemab is again an indication that science is continuing to make progress when it comes to treating the major causes of illness and death, even one related to the highly complex inner workings of the brain. So, there are caveats and the need for caution, but these new drugs are indeed the grounds for that rare thing these days: hope.
32.What can we learn about Alzheimer's from the passage
A.It is caused by the accumulation of some proteins in the brain.
B.Most people will develop Alzheimer's when they are old.
C.There exists a new drug to cure it completely.
D.It results from the loss of memories as people get older.
33.What does the underlined word “caveats” mean in Paragraph 4
A.Weaknesses.　　　　B.Discussions.　　　　C.Debates.　　　　D.Warnings.
34.What is the problem of the new drug according to the author as an academic
A.The effectiveness may be blown up without fair assessment.
B.It has the serious side-effects such as brain bleeding and deaths.
C.The cost of the new drug is out of reach for ordinary people.
D.There is no possibility for new drugs to be admitted into the NHS.
35.What is the author's attitude towards the new drug
A.Approving.　　　　B.Doubtful.　　　　C.Unclear.　　　　D.Indifferent.

Outside the Box
　　The Harvestfest contest was falling on Friday and everyone in school was talking about it. All the students would show up in their self-made costumes and a winner would be chosen by the principal.
“Do you have your costume for the Harvestfest contest ” Alice asked. “I'm going as a chocolate bar. My mom and I have been working on it all week.”
“Yeah, I have a costume,” said Jordan Eastman, popping up the two front wheels of his wheelchair as he waited for his dad to pick him up. “But it's boring.”
“Why What is it ” Alice asked.
“MaxMag the superhero, but Danny, Tom and Izzy are all going as MaxMag too,” Jordan shook his head. “That's too many to stand a chance of winning the contest.” He waved to his dad, who had just pulled up in front of the school.
Jordan rolled his wheelchair toward his dad, and Alice walked with him to the minivan.
“Maybe you should go as something else.”
“The contest is on Friday night,” Jordan sighed. “It's too late to change costumes.”
“Jordan, you have to think outside the box. Look around your house and see what you have. There's hidden potential in everyday items.” She took a sip of her drink, and told Jordan that her chocolate-bar costume was made from old fabric her mom had lying around and recycled plastics.
On his way home, Jordan was quiet. He kept thinking about Alice's words: Think outside the box. There's hidden potential in everyday items. When he got home, he found his mum handling some wooden pieces. She was putting a new desk together. On top of the desk was the huge empty cardboard box the pieces had come in. Mom smiled at Jordan, pointing at the desk, “What do you think ”

同義表達
　　題干中的“physically present”是最后一段中“in person”的同義表達。
B
語篇解讀　本文是一篇記敘文。文章介紹了印度生態藝術家Vishwanath的經歷和他取得的成就。
24.A　推理判斷題。根據第二段前三句“Vishwanath's passion is particularly relevant in the current age, where India generates more e-waste than it can recycle...a total of more than 1 million tones of e-waste. Of this, only 22.7 percent was collected, taken apart and recycled.”可知,本段主要介紹了近年來印度電子垃圾問題十分嚴重。故選A。
25.D　細節理解題。根據第三段第三句“He later went on to work in a company as a high-level administrator and retired two years ago.”可知,他退休前是一名企業高管。故選D。
同義表達
　　D項中的“A senior manager”是第三段中“a high-level administrator”的同義表達。
26.B　細節理解題。根據第四段第二、三句中的關鍵表述“a six-foot-tall sculpture made from upcycled computer keyboard keys”和“a 42×38 inch figure statue created from upcycled keyboard keys”可知,一個六英尺高的雕塑和一個42×38英寸的人物雕像的主要材料都是經過升級改造的電腦鍵盤按鍵,因此這兩個作品的材料相同,故選B。
27.C　推理判斷題。
由題干中的Vishwanath think of可定位至最后一段Vishwanath說的話。
根據最后一段中的“It might take weeks and months for sculptures. However, sustainable initiatives and upcycled art are nowadays in demand in multinational companies opting for a sustainable culture”可知,Vishwanath認為對于雕塑家來說創作生態藝術品需要花費較長的時間,但是對于可持續發展來說又是有需求的。由此可推知,他認為他的工作費時費力但是值得。C項(要求高但值得)符合語境,故選C。A.令人興奮但不盈利的;B.有創造性但無用的;D.高效但昂貴的。
難句分析
原句　Among his other artworks are a 42×38 inch figure statue created from upcycled keyboard keys on a sun board finished with plastics, a deer made of colourful used wires, plants and flowers from computer parts, and eco jewellery from upcycled digital wrist watch parts.
分析　本句是一個倒裝句。介詞短語Among his other artworks置于句首,句子使用全部倒裝,are是系動詞,其后是and連接的四個并列主語:a 42×38 inch figure statue、a deer、plants and flowers和eco jewellery。“created from...on a sun board finished with plastics”是過去分詞短語作后置定語,修飾a 42×38 inch figure statue,其中“finished with plastics”為過去分詞短語作后置定語,修飾a sun board。“made of colourful used wires”為過去分詞短語作后置定語,修飾a deer。
譯文　在他的其他藝術作品中,有一個42×38英寸的人物雕像,是用塑料制成的太陽板上的經過升級改造的鍵盤鍵制作的,用彩色的廢舊電線制成的鹿,用電腦零件制成的植物和花朵以及用升級改造的數字手表零件制成的生態珠寶。
C
語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了中國在近四十年的努力下,成功將朱鹮這一瀕臨滅絕的物種從全球僅剩的七只增加到超過五千只,這顯示了生態環境保護的必要性和緊迫性。
28.B　細節理解題。
由題干中的Qinling Mountains可定位至文章第三段。
根據第三段中的“which were found only in Yangxian County, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, and deep in the Qinling Mountains, making Qinling, a natural boundary between China's north and south, the last shelter of the wild birds.”可知,作為中國南北自然分界線的秦嶺成了野生朱鹮最后的棲息地,因此秦嶺對朱鹮來說很重要。故選B(秦嶺曾經是朱鹮最后的棲息地)。
同義表達
　　B項中的“the last habitat of crested ibises”與文章第三段中的“the last shelter of the wild birds”意思一致。29.D　推理判斷題。根據第四段內容可知,為保護朱鹮免遭滅絕,政府采取了一系列保護措施,自1981年以來,政府頒布了禁止在這種鳥的生活區狩獵等四項禁令,設置特殊基金、封山種樹來保護朱鹮的棲息地,1991年開始進行朱鹮人工繁殖,到去年為止在陜西已經繁育了四百多只朱鹮。由此可知,本段主要說明政府為保護朱鹮做出的努力,體現了政府在保護朱鹮方面發揮的重要作用,D項(政府在拯救朱鹮方面起著關鍵作用)符合語境。故選D。
30.B　推理判斷題。
由題干中的Zan Linsen可定位至文章最后一段。
根據最后一段中昝林森(Zan Linsen)的話“It is lucky that the crested ibis, an ancient bird, is still flying around”可知,昝林森認為,很幸運能夠看到這種古老的鳥兒還能飛來飛去,這是保護朱鹮取得的成果。由此可推知,保護朱鹮的成果讓昝林森感到高興和寬慰。故選B(寬慰且高興的)。
31.C　主旨大意題。文章第一段“From the world's last seven to a global population...edge of extinction.(從世界上最后的七只到全球超過五千只,中國花了近四十年的時間將朱鹮從滅絕的邊緣救了回來。)”說明了中國在保護朱鹮方面取得的成果,結合文中第二、三段介紹的朱鹮的危急情況、第四段介紹的中國政府為保護朱鹮做出的努力以及倒數第二段介紹的中國政府努力的結果可知,文章主要介紹了經過多年的努力中國將朱鹮從滅絕的邊緣救了回來。C項(瀕危朱鹮逐漸回歸)最能概括文章主要內容,為最佳標題,故選C。
技巧點撥
　　主旨大意題解題技巧:
主旨大意題主要考查學生選擇最佳標題(title)、尋找文章段落大意(general idea)和概括文章中心思想(main idea)的能力,文章的標題是對文章核心思想的概括,其特點是短小精悍、涵蓋性強、精確性強。獲取文章中心思想的有效方法是辨認主題句。主題句起統領全文的作用,文中的所有事實、細節都是為此服務的,其位置常在首段或尾段。
D
語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了一種名為donanemab的新藥在三期臨床試驗中顯示有一定療效,給阿爾茨海默病患者帶來希望,但是也存在一些問題。
32.A　細節理解題。根據第二段中的“...poisonous changes occur in the brain, including the abnormal build-up of proteins called amyloid plaques and tau tangles.”及第三段中的“They target the amyloid proteins that can accumulate in the brain and damage neurons, slowing down its progression.”可知,大腦中某些蛋白質的積累使得大腦發生了有毒的變化,引起了阿爾茨海默病。故選A。
同義表達
　　A項中的“the accumulation of some proteins”與第二段中的“the abnormal build-up of proteins”意思一致。A項中的accumulation與第三段中的accumulate為同根詞復現。
33.D　詞義猜測題。根據畫線詞所在句“While this news is exciting, there are major caveats.”尤其是其中的While(盡管,雖然)可知,逗號前后是轉折關系,逗號前邊說的是這個消息好的方面(exciting),推測逗號后是消極的方面。根據畫線詞下文中的“One is whether it will ever become available on the NHS. The cost is estimated to be...year of treatment.(一個是它是否會在國民醫療服務體系中普及。據估計,每人每年的治療費用約為兩萬英鎊。)”可知,其中一個是花費太高,可能很難普及。根據下一段內容“Another is the serious side-effects...three deaths during the trial.”可知,另一個是有嚴重的副作用。根據最后一段最后一句中的“there are caveats and the need for caution”可知,and前后為同義表達,表示“需要注意”。由此可推知,One...Another...這兩個部分都是這種新藥需要注意的地方,表示雖然出現新藥這個消息使人興奮,但也有一些需要注意的地方。由此可推知,畫線詞與warning(警告,警示)語義相近。故選D。caveat意為“警告;告誡”。
34.A　推理判斷題。
根據題干中的“the problem of the new drug according to the author as an academic”可定位至倒數第二段,對應倒數第二段中的“Part of the problem for me, as an academic, in assessing the drug is that...”。
根據倒數第二段中的“the full results of the trial haven't yet been shared publicly or published in a peer-reviewed journal(該試驗的全部結果尚未公開分享,也沒有在同行評議期刊上發表)”和“We cannot access the full data or examine the trial yet, and there is always a motivation for private companies to overstate the effectiveness of new drugs. Trial results need to be assessed by an independent body of experts.(我們還無法獲得完整的數據,也還無法檢查試驗,而且私營公司總是有夸大新藥有效性的動機。試驗結果需要由一個獨立的專家機構進行評估。)”可推知,作為一名學者,作者認為這種新藥的問題是新藥的有效性可能會在未經公正評估的情況下被夸大,仍需要獨立的權威專家進行評估。故選A(如果沒有公平的評估,新藥的效果可能會被夸大)。
同義表達
　　A項中的“The effectiveness may be blown up”與“overstate the effectiveness of new drugs”為同義表達;blow up與overstate為同義詞,意為“夸大;夸張”。
35.A　推理判斷題。根據最后一段中的“While it is unlikely...the news of donanemab is again an indication that science is continuing to make progress when it comes to treating the major causes of illness and death...”以及“these new drugs are indeed the grounds for that rare thing these days: hope”可知,這種新藥表明醫療科學正在不斷進步,它也確實帶來了希望。由此可推知,作者對這種藥持積極的態度。A.贊同的;B.懷疑的;C.模糊的;D.冷漠的。A項最符合語境,故選A。
第二節
語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了把自己想象為英雄,把自己的生活想象為英雄的生活對健康的好處,并介紹了這樣做的幾種方法。
文章大意:把自己的生活想象為英雄的生活的方法
文章結構:總—分
36.A　過渡句。根據上文的問句“How can you start imagining your life as a hero's journey (你能怎么開始想象你的生活是一個英雄的旅程 )”以及下文給出的五個策略可知,設空處承上啟下,給出問題的答案,A項(專家們在這里分享了一些策略。)符合語境,故選A。
37.B　細節句。根據本段主題句“Keep a journal.(記日記。)”及本段內容可知,本段主要是建議記日記。結合上文“Then reflect on the challenges that stand in your way, and who can help you on your journey.”及選項可知,B項(寫下幾個句子會有所幫助。)說明反思之后寫下來,與上文銜接緊密,且呼應本段主題句,符合語境,故選B。
38.E　細節句。根據本段主題句“Ask: Who's my favorite character in a movie or book ”可知,本段的建議和自己最喜歡的角色有關。結合下文“They probably inspire you because you relate to their positive qualities.(他們可能會激勵你,因為你認同他們的積極品質。)”及選項可知,E項(想想這個角色吸引你的地方。) 呼應本段主題句,符合語境,故選E。E項中的“that character”與本段主題句中的“my favorite character”相呼應,E項中的“appeals to you”與本段主題句中的“my favorite”對應。
39.F　細節句。空前“So seek out something new.”建議我們去尋找新鮮的事情,空后“Or it can be dramatic, like borrowing a bike and riding it to school.”舉例說明可以借一輛自行車,騎車去上學,由此可推知,設空處與空后句都是對“新鮮的事情”的舉例說明。F項(它可以很簡單,比如走一條新的路線去學校。)符合語境,與下文為選擇關系。由下文中的Or可知此處是給出了兩種方案,Or是關鍵詞,且F項與Or后邊的內容句式一致,都是“it can be...like...”結構,故選F。
40.D　主旨句。設空處是本段的主題句。根據下文主要內容可知,本段建議在面臨挑戰時想想自己最喜歡的英雄,D項(當你需要動力時,想想你心目中的英雄。)可概括本段的大意,符合語境,故選D。
第三部分　語言運用
第一節
語篇解讀　這是一篇記敘文。文章講述了Devi 在學校到當地游泳池的實地考察的活動中,因為不會游泳產生了恐懼心理,最后在游泳教練的幫助下,她克服了對游泳的恐懼并大膽嘗試的故事。
41.C　根據前文“Devi had never been to a swimming lesson in her life.”可知,Devi從沒有上過游泳課,說明學校到當地游泳池的實地考察對她來說是一個挑戰。故選C。
42.A　根據前文“The first time Devi went with her class to the pool”可知,Devi 第一次和她的同學一起去游泳池,由此推斷出她不知道即將經歷什么,have no idea為固定搭配,意為“不知道”,符合語境。故選A。
43.D　根據后文“and held onto the side of the pool”可知,Devi 當時是一邊抓著泳池的邊緣一邊滑進水中。故選D。
44.B　根據后文“with her feet”可知,Devi 想用腳觸碰泳池底部。故選B。
45.B　根據后文“Devi soon 　46　 the cement ledge to prevent herself drowning.(Devi 很快……水泥平臺以防溺水)”可知,她沉入水下是因為手放開了。故選B。
46.A　根據后文“the cement ledge”及常識可知,她抓住了水泥平臺以防溺水。故選A。
47.C　根據后文“but she had to 　50　 her fear”可知,Devi在第一次游泳時感到恐懼。故選C。
48.C　根據后文“that Devi was upset”可知,母親注意到了Devi 的沮喪。故選C。
49.D　根據常識可知,恐懼會讓人對合理的事情也產生懷疑。故選D。
50.B　根據后文“when the time came to take her first lesson”可知,Devi去上了她的第一節游泳課,她克服了恐懼。故選B。
51.A　 此處指情況比之前更嚴重,應用still表示程度,意為“還要,更”。故選A。

54.A　根據后文“She couldn't help but smile”可知,Devi 感到放松了。故選A。
55.C　根據前文“she just sat on a bench, too embarrassed to try again”可知,Devi 第一次游泳失敗了,她不敢繼續嘗試,現在聽了教練的話,她認為她一定會樂于嘗試。故選C。
第二節
語篇解讀　本文為一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了中國將發布世界上第一個高保真的虛擬大熊貓以及它將要居住的一個類似宇宙的世界,讓游客可以在手機上進行了解。
56.where　考查定語從句。句意:中國林業和草原局宣布,中國將發布世界上第一個高保真的虛擬大熊貓以及它將要居住的一個類似宇宙的世界。分析句子結構可知,設空處引導定語從句,先行詞為world,設空處在從句中作地點狀語,應用關系副詞where引導定語從句。故填where。
57.being given　考查非謂語動詞和語態。句意:這只數字大熊貓在被賦予人工智能生命后,將能夠在這個類似宇宙的世界中與人類互動。介詞after后接動名詞作賓語,且panda與give之間為被動關系,此處應用動名詞的被動形式,故填being given。
58.themselves　考查反身代詞。句意:在它上線后,公眾可以通過手機沉浸在大熊貓的棲息地里,了解它們的生活習慣和居住環境。分析句子結構可知,此處指代空前的the public,主語和賓語一樣,指人們自己,應用they的反身代詞themselves作賓語,故填themselves。
59.is aimed　考查動詞時態、語態及主謂一致。句意:這一數字項目旨在講述中國國家公園最重要物種的故事,包括大熊貓、金絲猴、亞洲象和東北虎,它也是一種向世界展示中國在生物多樣性方面所做出的努力的創造性的方式。分析句子結構可知,設空處在句中作謂語,此處陳述客觀事實,結合后文的and it is可知,應用一般現在時。be aimed at為固定搭配,意為“旨在”,則主語The digital project與aim之間為被動關系,應用被動語態;主語為單數,故填is aimed。
60.to show　考查非謂語動詞。此處應用不定式作way的后置定語,固定搭配a way to do意為“做……的方式”,故填to show。
61.Besides　考查介詞。句意:除此之外,人工智能也被成功用于其他地方。根據語境可知,此處的this指代上文提到的數字項目,數字項目屬于人工智能的應用,下文介紹了人工智能的其他應用,由此可知此處應用介詞Besides(除了……以外),表示除了上文提到的用途外,人工智能還有其他用途,故填Besides。注意句首單詞首字母要大寫。
62.automatically　考查副詞。句意:它被用來自動識別和分析每三個月在國家公園拍攝的10萬張關于雪豹蹤跡的照片,將識別的準確率提高到98%,同時也增強了保護措施的有效性。此處修飾動詞identify和analyze,應用副詞作狀語;automatically意為“自動地”,符合語境,故填automatically。
63.accuracy　考查名詞。句意同上。此處作increasing的賓語,應用名詞形式;accuracy意為“準確性”,符合語境,故填accuracy。
64.strengthening　考查非謂語動詞。句意同上。根據空前的and可知,空處與increasing并列,在句中作結果狀語,應用現在分詞,故填strengthening。
聯想拓展
　　非謂語動詞作結果狀語的區別:
(1)現在分詞作結果狀語:表示謂語動詞所帶來的自然而然的結果或意料中的結果。
例:It rained heavily, causing great damage.大雨滂沱,造成了很大損害。
(2)動詞不定式作結果狀語:表示意料之外的、令人不快的結果。不定式前常加上only,以加強語氣,也可用于一些固定結構,如too...to...、enough to...等。
例:They reached the company out of breath only to be told they were fired. 他們上氣不接下氣地趕到公司,不料卻被告知他們被開除了。
65.a　考查冠詞。句意:國家林業和草原局也推出了VR解決方案,這讓人們在手機上參觀中國的東北虎豹國家公園成了現實。固定短語make...a reality意為“將……變成現實”,此處泛指“一個事實”,應用不定冠詞,且reality以輔音音素開頭,故填a。

She smiled and gave him a thumbs-up. “No time to wait! Let's get started!” exclaimed his dad who just went in. For two nights, they cut, pasted, folded and unfolded the box; they drew on it and colored it to make it look like a real car; and they glued the old MaxMag costume onto it. When the new costume was finally ready, Jordan tried it on several times and continued to make necessary changes until satisfied.
Soon it was Friday night, and Jordan couldn't wait to show his costume. When he wheeled himself into the party, he immediately spotted the three MaxMags. When they saw him, they couldn't believe it. “The MaxMag and his car That's awesome!” Danny's eyes lit up. “The wheels of your chair are just perfect!” said Tom. “You even have the headlights! It's so cool,” Izzy pointed to the front. Jordan beamed, “Thanks!” When it was time to announce the winner, Jordan joined his friends on the stage. “The winner of this year's Harvestfest costume contest is...” the principal paused to read the name, “Jordan Eastman!” Everyone clapped. “See You just need to be creative!” Alice said. “You mean think outside the box!” Jordan patted on the flaming red car attached to his chair, with an iconic MaxMag smile.
