点拨
第1、3小题所填词均为and连接的并列成分之一，因此可根据这一特点解题。此外，一些单词通常含有一定的感彩，这也是解题的关键。比如，第3题空前的crowds和空后的danger都属于偏消极的名词，那么空处填名词discomfort（不舒服，不安）；第1题空后的convenient的感彩偏积极，因此空处填形容词comfortable。此外，第3小题中的"experience"指攀爬珠穆朗玛峰这一经历。

一、阅读理解
A
When Argentinean thinker Juan José Sebrellivisited Shanghai in the 1960s as part of a delegation（代表团） invited by the Chinese government， he wrote that the city seemed strangely familiar.
I was reading his writing before boarding a plane on my first trip to Shanghai in 2016. By that time， I was doing research at home on how South American writers， diplomats（外交官） and politicians had developed a new world outlook. The opportunity of my life appeared when I was told I was recommended as the first scholar at a research center co-built by a research council of Argentina and Shanghai University for an exchange program.
My first year living in Shanghai was full of discoveries and adventures. I was in a constant state of curiosity. Every day， I discovered， tried and learned something new. In other words， the city impressed me： Its modern architecture and the opportunities that Shanghai gave to everyone made me feel that this place was one of the most dynamic places I’d ever been to. I recognized that this city allowed both locals and foreigners to rediscover and reinvent themselves. The experience of being in touch with a different culture has enriched my way of looking at and thinking about the world.
After three years， my program at the joint center came to an end. But Shanghai had another new surprise for me： I got an offer to work as a professor in Fudan University， which was an opportunity that I couldn’t refuse. Gradually， I regarded Shanghai as my second home and I fully understood the meaning of Sebrelli’s writing one day walking through my favorite spots of the city on Wuyuan Road and Wulumuqi Road. Several places made me have a strange feeling： The combination of Art Deco buildings and local stands on the street created an image of my homeland. At that moment， I understood that this city， as Sebrelli wrote， "is now a part of myself".
作者自2016年来到上海后在上海生活了好几年，对这座城市产生了不一样的情愫，将它当作自己的第二故乡。
【词语积累】 strangely adv.异常地，奇怪地，不可思议地
dynamic adj.充满活力的 reinvent v.以新形象示人
joint adj.联合的，共同的
【熟词生义】 stand常用义：v.站，站立；容忍，忍受 文中义：n.售货台（亭），货摊

A. To explain Sebrelli’s influence on him.
B. To stress the close Argentina-China bond.
C. To introduce his own experience in Shanghai.
D. To show respect and admiration for Sebrelli.
解析 C 推理判断题。由第一段内容可知，阿根廷思想家Juan José Sebrelli在访问上海时曾写道，这座城市似乎让人异常熟悉。紧接着，第二段首句"I was reading his writing before boarding a plane on my first trip to Shanghai in 2016"提到在2016年作者开启了自己的上海之旅。由此可推知，作者提及Juan José Sebrelli是为了引出自己在上海的经历，故选C。
2. What did the author come to Shanghai to do？
A. Teach in a university.
B. Join in a program.
C. Develop a new outlook.
D. Lead joint research.
解析 B 细节理解题。由第二段的"The opportunity of my life appeared ... for an exchange program"可知，本题选B。
3. How did the author find Shanghai？

4. What does "a strange feeling" in the last paragraph refer to？
A. The sense of identity.
B. The sense of belonging.
C. The sense of purpose.
D. The sense of satisfaction.
解析 B 推理判断题。由a strange feeling后的"The combination of...this city， as Sebrelli wrote，‘is now a part of myself’"可推知，奇怪的感觉指的是归属感，故选B。
B
[2024河南省实验中学开学考]I was once a Chinese TV star. Actually， I’m neither Chinese nor a star， but for two seasons， I was the French voice of one of the major characters in a famous Chinese soap opera.
China has put a lot of effort into sharing its culture with the world. Chinese movies and TV shows have been translated into various languages. As a result， dubbing（配音） jobs in China have increased greatly over the years.
I landed my first dubbing job without having any previous experience， something that would be impossible in France. As I entered the tiny recording studio， I pretended to know how to dub， feeling more than ever like a fraud. I didn’t speak Chinese， so how could I know when a sentence ended？ I managed to control my shaking hands， and tried my best to match the French text with the Chinese lips. Finally， they asked me to try again， with more emotion this time. And so I did. To my surprise， I secured my first role.
Once I was in the database， I got offered roles every now and then. I really started enjoying the Chinese soap operas. As the shows helped me to better understand the Chinese family and the relationships between young people in China， I realized I was able to have deeper conversations with my Chinese friends.
And so I discovered that dubbing is not a job that stays in the office； it becomes part of you. Not only because of what other people think， but because of what you share with the character. When my character once believed her mother had killed herself， I couldn’t help crying. I left the studio and immediately called my mom， and I believe that was the nicest call I ever made to her. This might sound silly， I know， but I will miss "her". Our one-way relationship was as fictional as she was， but the emotions were real.
本文主要讲述了作者作为一个法国人在中国的配音经历。
1. Why have dubbing jobs in China increased quickly？
A. China has various cultures to record.
B. China has set up many cultural companies.
C. China has developed very fast in recent years.
D. China encourages TV shows to spread its culture.
解析 D 细节理解题。通过文章第二段"China has put a lot of effort into sharing its culture with the world. Chinese movies and TV shows have been translated into various languages. As a result， dubbing（配音） jobs in China have increased greatly over the years"可知，配音工作在中国迅速增加是因为中国鼓励电视节目传播其文化，故选D项。
2. What does the underlined word "fraud" in paragraph 3 probably mean？
A. Actress. B.Cheater.
C. Foreigner. D. Director.
解析 B 词义猜测题。由"I pretended to know how to dub "和"I didn’t speak Chinese， so how could I know when a sentence ended？"可推知，fraud和cheater意义一致，故选B项。
3. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about？
A. The author’s Chinese friends helped her a lot.
B. Soap operas spread Chinese culture widely.
C. Dubbing in soap operas helped the author a lot.
D. The author liked Chinese soap operas very much.
解析 C 段落大意题。通读文章第四段可知，本段主要讲了在肥皂剧中配音对作者帮助很大，故选C项。
4. What can be a suitable title for the text？
A. My dubbing experience in China
B. Dubbing， an interesting job
C. Dubbing in China
D. My first success

在北京生活多年的希腊摄影师George Doupas通过自己的照片向西方介绍中国，他也愿意继续充当中国与西方的桥梁。
1.and 考查连词。分析句子结构可知，空处所填词连接capturing its beauty和sharing the photos online and in exhibitions，意为"和"，所以空处填and。
2.truly 考查副词。空处所填词修饰动词represents，应用副词，所以空处填truly。
3.is located 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，空处所填词作主句的谓语。此处表示客观事实，时态用一般现在时；be located in意为"坐落于，位于"；主语It为第三人称单数，所以空处填is located。
4.has been 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。空处所填词作谓语。结合时间状语since the Ming Dynasty可知，时态用现在完成时；主语Beijing为第三人称单数，所以空处填has been。
5.lost 考查形容词。固定表达get lost in...意为"沉浸于……"。
6.combining考查非谓语动词。空处所填词为非谓语动词，combine与the modern city之间是主谓关系，非谓语表示被限定事物长久的特征，所以空处填combining。
7.why 考查表语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处所填词引导表语从句，表示"为什么"，所以空处填why。
8.a 考查冠词。此处表泛指，且bridge的发音以辅音音素开头，所以空处填a。
9.displays 考查名词的数。所填词表示复数意义，所以空处填displays。
10.with 考查介词。share...with...意为"与……分享……"。Unit 2 Bridging Cultures
Ⅰ.语法填空——词形转换、固定搭配
1.[2023全国乙]She qualified （qualify） as a surgeon in 1813， then joined the British Army， serving overseas.
点拨
qualify as sth.取得资格（或学历），合格。qualify的形容词为qualified， be qualified for/to do sth. "具备……的学历（资历、知识、技能），符合资格"；名词为qualification"资格，学历，资历"。
2.[2023浙江1月]With gas prices rising and airport security lines snaking longer than ever， why not book your next domestic vacation on a train？ Compared to other alternatives， it’s comfortable （comfort） and relaxing.
3.[2023浙江1月]As you make your lifestyle changes， you may find yourself wanting to speak up for yourself if others comment on what you’re doing， which can turn itself into a whole household debate.

5.[2021新高考Ⅰ]Millions of waterfowl（水禽） were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious （ambition） sportsmen.

9.[天津高考]Once， after a trip to Hollywood， I returned to Australia so depressed （depress）and spent months in my bedroom painting， listening to Eckhart Tolle’s music and trying to find myself again.
点拨
注意分析本句的句子结构，"I returned to Australia"结构完整，不缺成分，空处应用形容词作状语，描述主语的状态。形容词（短语）作状语的例子还有：He arrived home， hungry and tired.
Ⅱ.阅读理解——一词多义、熟词生义
1.[2021新高考Ⅰ]In 1934， with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act（Act）， an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory（迁徙的） waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival. adj.坚决的，强有力的
2.[2021全国甲]Older and wiser now， Burchill chalked up the incident to youthful indiscretion（莽撞）."I have matured and I admit responsibility for my actions，" he said in the letter. v.成熟，长大（成人）
点拨
mature常用作形容词，表示"成熟的"，在此活用为动词。
3.[全国Ⅰ]A grasp of how to manage color in your spaces is one of the first steps to creating rooms you’ll love to live in. n.理解（力），领会
点拨
在写作中，grasp的"抓住"这一含义较为常用，常用表达为grasp the chance/opportunity to do sth.。另外，grasp作名词"理解（力），领会"讲时，其结构have a good grasp of常可作为be good at，know...well等的升级表达。
