International Application
The University of Cambridge welcomes applications from suitably qualified international students. We recognize the great academic and cultural value of a diverse student body. Admitting students from outside the UK allows us to seek talent from the widest possible pool.
Attracting so many talented international applicants means competition for places is fierce. However, academic achievement and potential remain the selection criteria for senior high school candidates.
The application process
The application process is the same for all applicants. Whilst much of the information presented on this website is focused on GCE, and A Levels, many other school and national examinations at an equal level are also acceptable.
All applications to UK universities are made through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS), which operates on a pre-qualification basis where offers are made in advance of applicants achieving their final grades. Offer holders are finally confirmed or rejected once the results for the relevant qualifications are received.
UCAS will require applicants’ predicted grades. A predicted grade is the grade of qualification an applicant’s school believes they are likely to achieve, all things being well. These predicted grades are used during the admissions process to help the University understand each applicant’s potential.
For a step-by-step guide, please refer to our main Applying pages.
Application fee
Most international applicants are required to pay an application fee of 60. This is a standard charge that supports the administration of the application process and maintenance of the systems used in this process. See Terms and conditions of the application fee.
21.Why does the Cambridge university welcome overseas students
A.They are foreigners.
B.They are more qualified than local students.
C.They will provide diversity for the campus.
D.They will be recognized by the UK government.
22.Which of the following is true about the application process
A.Gaokao results can play a part.
B.International experience is a must.
C.An offer is the guarantee of admission.
D.Applicant’s school can predict the result.

A.A British twelfth grader.

Protecting and serving is more than checking for imminent (紧急的) danger. One officer in South Hill, Virginia, makes it his mission to make people of all ages feel safe after giving the all-clear, starting with the younger generations.
And because of his kindness, many parents and their children look on C. B.Fleming as something of a superhero. 28-year-old Mom, Lesha Roper-Boswell said that the neighborhood kids need someone “larger than life” they can depend on to protect them and their town, and Fleming fits the role beautifully. “He’s awesome. That’s the only word you can really use to describe C. B.,” she told reporters. “It’s just amazing — the bond he has with the children.”
Recently, residents in an apartment complex had a scare when emergency crews came to investigate a gas leak. Though he could have just left the scene after making sure the leak wasn’t harmful, Officer Fleming made sure everyone in the building felt safer.
Seeing some kids play outside with dolls, he sat down and joined them, reassuring them that everything was going to be okay. The kids were happy to have another playmate, regardless of his uniform. Impressed and grateful, Roper-Boswell took a video of the kind act and posted it on Facebook, where it’s gained thousands of views from people living all over the country.
Fleming, who is celebrating his 15th year on the force, said he’s always desired to do more than fine people for violating (违反) parking rules. “It’s something I’ve always tried to do,” he said about also looking out for the children. “When I got into this job, I knew there was something different, other than just writing tickets and being the ‘bad’ person all the time. I figured if I could be that bright spot in someone’s day, then that was all that mattered.”
24.What kind of role did C. B.Fleming play according to Roper-Boswell
A.A risk-taker. B.A superhero. C.A decision-maker. D.A teacher.
25.What about Fleming impressed Roper-Boswell at the scene
A.His devotion to work. B.His professional skills.
C.His striking uniform. D.His connection with kids.
26.What does C. B.Fleming consider a top priority in his life
A.Bringing joy to people. B.Performing his duties.
C.Looking after the kids. D.Raising people’s awareness.
27.Which of the following may be a suitable title for the text

The news industry has had a rough decade. Print readership is steadily declining, newspapers are closing, and journalists with decades of experience are being laid off. In response, major newspapers have made significant changes. They’re attempting to combat declining reader interest by shortening stories, creating clickbait (诱饵性标题), and most especially, using social media to their advantage.
With the rise of social media sites, many people have claimed that we are entering a new age in which news must be delivered in 140 characters or fewer. People’s ability to focus on long-form content and engage in deep reading has also been declining due to the endless distractions and excessive information in today’s world. This change in reading habits has led to a preference for short, easily understood news pieces that can be quickly consumed. To interest a more specific and generally younger readership, newspapers have revised content, prioritizing articles that are visually appealing instead of having depth.
But, in reality, there is still a demand for in-depth reporting. In this era of misinformation and clickbait, readers are seeking reliable sources of news that provide context, analysis, and accountability. Depth reporting explores the fundamental causes, involves multiple perspectives, and uncovers the hidden truths that shape our world, helping readers get a more comprehensive understanding of complicated matters.
While social media have changed the way we consume news, the quality of news remains essential for the public. It’s crucial for the news industry to achieve a balance between catering to changing reader preferences while also maintaining the integrity (完整性) of news. This means providing both quick updates and in-depth analysis, and using social media to promote their content, but not at the expense of accuracy or integrity. By doing so, news organizations can ensure that they remain relevant and trusted sources of information in a rapidly changing media environment.
28.What problem does traditional news industry face
A.The decline of readership. B.The lack of long-form stories.
C.The spread of unreliable information. D.The shortage of experienced journalists.
29.What does the underlined word “prioritizing” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Checking out. B.Cutting down.
C.Paying no attention to. D.Attaching importance to.
30.What do we know from paragraph 3
A.People’s need for in-depth reporting is decreasing.
B.Social media has played a key role in promoting hidden facts.
C.Clickbait greatly increases readers’ interests in exploring truths.
D.In-depth reporting can improve readers’ comprehension of complex issues.
31.According to the passage, the news industry should achieve a balance between ______.
A.providing quick updates and focusing on popular topics
B.stating matters in multiple perspectives and shortening articles
C.satisfying readers’ preferences and ensuring the quality of news
D.widening news sources and maintaining the accuracy of contents
D
Medical artificial intelligence (AI) can perform with expert-level accuracy and deliver cost-effective care. IBM’s Watson diagnoses (诊断) heart disease better than cardiologists (心脏病专家) do. Chatbots give better medical advice to patients in place of nurses. Some forecast that medical AI will enter 90% of hospitals and replace as much as 80% of what doctors currently do. Yet, as our recent research suggests, patients show a strong resistance to medical AI.
The reason, we found, is not the belief that AI provides lower care. Nor is it that patients think that AI is more costly or less informative. Rather, resistance to medical AI seems to come from a belief that AI does not take into account one’s specific circumstances. People view themselves as unique. By contrast, they think medical care delivered by AI providers is suited to treat an average patient but unsuitable to account for the unique circumstances that apply to an individual. No wonder that medical AI providers are given a cold welcome.
There are a number of steps that care providers can take to overcome patients’ resistance to medical AI. For example, if an AI provider is capable of tailoring its recommendation for whether to have a surgery to each patient’s unique characteristics and medical history, patients would be likely to follow the treatment recommendations of the AI provider. In addition, health care providers could also deliver individualized health care by explaining how the algorithms (算法) work and sharing patients’ reviews with the media. Having a physician confirm the recommendation of an AI provider should make people more willing to accept AI-based care. People are comfortable using medical AI if a physician remains in charge of the ultimate decision.
AI-based health care technologies are being developed and employed at an impressive rate, providing better medical services for the patients. But harnessing the full potential of them will require that we first overcome patients’ doubt of having an algorithm, rather than a person making decisions about their care.
32.What made people resist the medical AI
A.A sufferer’s temper ignored by medical AI.
B.People’s lasting trust in a human doctor’s ability.
C.The concern about its personalization in treatment.
D.The accuracy of the information from medical AI.
33.What can be a solution to patients’ resistance according to the author
A.Treating sufferers as average patients.
B.Providing a more specific treatment.
C.Getting the algorithms prioritized in time.
D.Keeping away from the influence of a physician.
34.Which word can replace the underlined word “harnessing” in the last paragraph
A.Weakening. B.Storing. C.Destroying. D.Using.
35.What is the suitable title for the text
A.Advantages of Medical AI
B.Potential Application of AI
C.How AI Replaces Nurses in Healthcare
D.The Challenge That Medical AI Faces

It's common to communicate by way of text, and that works well for everything from setting plans with a friend to asking you to pick up a grocery item. 36 . Fighting over text, can cause problems and can even break up friendships or partnerships. Ahead, we'll examine why.
● There's no vocal tone involved
When we speak, the person we're talking to can tell how serious or light we are by our tone. 37 . Everything is flat in writing, so without vocal tone to clarify, it's easy to assume the worst in someone and their intentions.
● 38
We also communicate in person through nonverbal ways. How we act physically lets others know how we feel. And without that in text, an argument can be worsened to a terrible point without one person even becoming aware of how upset the other is.
● Different communication paces affect a lot
39 . And when arguing, it can get even faster. It happens not to read all of a person's reply before you respond again, and the more upset you get, the harder it may be to express yourself clearly or to understand the person you're fighting with.
● Emojis and gifs can be hurtful
In the same way that visual communication tools like emojis and gifs can add fun to conversations, they can also make things much worse in a text disagreement. It can be challenging to know when you've taken emojis or gifs to a hurtful place, especially if the other person holds in that information and doesn't tell you at the moment. 40 .
A.Body language is absent
B.Text, on the other hand, has no tone
C.Long-term healthy relationships collapse
D.Texting is generally a quick back-and-forth exchange
E.This happens if he is feeling unsafe in the discussion
F.However, we may have taken communication by text too far
G.Our tone tells us a conversation is heading in the wrong direction

The second largest is Greenbelt Park, which is found on Staten Island. However, neither enjoys the history of Central Park, which is in the center of Manhattan. It is the most visited urban park in the US and the most filmed location in the world. Planning for the park began back in the 1840s. However, the plans were not accepted until 1853, and work did not begin until 1857. Additional land was bought at the northern end in 1859. But the park was not fully complete until 1876, almost 30 years after it was thought up. The park is now home to Central Park Zoo, the Delacorte Theater and the Literary Walk, which is made up of statues of famous writers.

第一节(共15小题:每小题2分, 满分30分)
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
International Application
The University of Cambridge welcomes applications from suitably qualified international students. We recognize the great academic and cultural value of a diverse student body. Admitting students from outside the UK allows us to seek talent from the widest possible pool.
Attracting so many talented international applicants means competition for places is fierce. However, academic achievement and potential remain the selection criteria for senior high school candidates.
The application process
The application process is the same for all applicants. Whilst much of the information presented on this website is focused on GCE, and A Levels, many other school and national examinations at an equal level are also acceptable.
All applications to UK universities are made through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS), which operates on a pre-qualification basis where offers are made in advance of applicants achieving their final grades. Offer holders are finally confirmed or rejected once the results for the relevant qualifications are received.
UCAS will require applicants’ predicted grades. A predicted grade is the grade of qualification an applicant’s school believes they are likely to achieve, all things being well. These predicted grades are used during the admissions process to help the University understand each applicant’s potential.
For a step-by-step guide, please refer to our main Applying pages.
Application fee
Most international applicants are required to pay an application fee of 60. This is a standard charge that supports the administration of the application process and maintenance of the systems used in this process. See Terms and conditions of the application fee.
21.Why does the Cambridge university welcome overseas students
A.They are foreigners.
B.They are more qualified than local students.
C.They will provide diversity for the campus.
D.They will be recognized by the UK government.

Protecting and serving is more than checking for imminent (紧急的) danger. One officer in South Hill, Virginia, makes it his mission to make people of all ages feel safe after giving the all-clear, starting with the younger generations.
And because of his kindness, many parents and their children look on C. B.Fleming as something of a superhero. 28-year-old Mom, Lesha Roper-Boswell said that the neighborhood kids need someone “larger than life” they can depend on to protect them and their town, and Fleming fits the role beautifully. “He’s awesome. That’s the only word you can really use to describe C. B.,” she told reporters. “It’s just amazing — the bond he has with the children.”
Recently, residents in an apartment complex had a scare when emergency crews came to investigate a gas leak. Though he could have just left the scene after making sure the leak wasn’t harmful, Officer Fleming made sure everyone in the building felt safer.
Seeing some kids play outside with dolls, he sat down and joined them, reassuring them that everything was going to be okay. The kids were happy to have another playmate, regardless of his uniform. Impressed and grateful, Roper-Boswell took a video of the kind act and posted it on Facebook, where it’s gained thousands of views from people living all over the country.
Fleming, who is celebrating his 15th year on the force, said he’s always desired to do more than fine people for violating (违反) parking rules. “It’s something I’ve always tried to do,” he said about also looking out for the children. “When I got into this job, I knew there was something different, other than just writing tickets and being the ‘bad’ person all the time. I figured if I could be that bright spot in someone’s day, then that was all that mattered.”

The news industry has had a rough decade. Print readership is steadily declining, newspapers are closing, and journalists with decades of experience are being laid off. In response, major newspapers have made significant changes. They’re attempting to combat declining reader interest by shortening stories, creating clickbait (诱饵性标题), and most especially, using social media to their advantage.
With the rise of social media sites, many people have claimed that we are entering a new age in which news must be delivered in 140 characters or fewer. People’s ability to focus on long-form content and engage in deep reading has also been declining due to the endless distractions and excessive information in today’s world. This change in reading habits has led to a preference for short, easily understood news pieces that can be quickly consumed. To interest a more specific and generally younger readership, newspapers have revised content, prioritizing articles that are visually appealing instead of having depth.
But, in reality, there is still a demand for in-depth reporting. In this era of misinformation and clickbait, readers are seeking reliable sources of news that provide context, analysis, and accountability. Depth reporting explores the fundamental causes, involves multiple perspectives, and uncovers the hidden truths that shape our world, helping readers get a more comprehensive understanding of complicated matters.
While social media have changed the way we consume news, the quality of news remains essential for the public. It’s crucial for the news industry to achieve a balance between catering to changing reader preferences while also maintaining the integrity (完整性) of news. This means providing both quick updates and in-depth analysis, and using social media to promote their content, but not at the expense of accuracy or integrity. By doing so, news organizations can ensure that they remain relevant and trusted sources of information in a rapidly changing media environment.
28.What problem does traditional news industry face
A.The decline of readership. B.The lack of long-form stories.
C.The spread of unreliable information. D.The shortage of experienced journalists.
29.What does the underlined word “prioritizing” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Checking out. B.Cutting down.
C.Paying no attention to. D.Attaching importance to.
30.What do we know from paragraph 3
A.People’s need for in-depth reporting is decreasing.
B.Social media has played a key role in promoting hidden facts.
C.Clickbait greatly increases readers’ interests in exploring truths.
D.In-depth reporting can improve readers’ comprehension of complex issues.
31.According to the passage, the news industry should achieve a balance between ______.
A.providing quick updates and focusing on popular topics
B.stating matters in multiple perspectives and shortening articles
C.satisfying readers’ preferences and ensuring the quality of news
D.widening news sources and maintaining the accuracy of contents
【答案】28.A 29.D 30.D 31.C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了社交媒体时代下的新闻业。
28.细节理解题。根据第一段“The news industry has had a rough decade. Print readership is steadily declining, newspapers are closing, and journalists with decades of experience are being laid off.(新闻行业经历了艰难的十年。纸质报纸的读者数量正在稳步下降,报纸正在关闭,拥有数十年经验的记者正在被解雇)”可知,传统新闻业面临的问题是读者群体数量下降。故选A项。
29.词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“People’s ability to focus on long-form content and engage in deep reading has also been declining due to the endless distractions and excessive information in today’s world. This change in reading habits has led to a preference for short, easily understood news pieces that can be quickly consumed.(由于当今世界无休止的干扰和过多的信息,人们专注于长篇内容和深度阅读的能力也在下降。这种阅读习惯的改变导致人们更倾向于阅读短小易懂、易于消化的新闻)”可知,由于当今世界存在太多干扰以及信息过载,人们专注于长篇内容和深度阅读的能力也在下降。这种阅读习惯的改变导致人们更倾向于阅读短小易懂、可以快速消化的新闻。由此可推知,画线词所在句应表示为了吸引特定的、更年轻的读者,报纸修改了内容,“优先考虑”那些在视觉上吸引人的文章,而不是有深度的文章。故“Attaching importance to”表示“重视;着重于……”,符合语境,故选D项。
30.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Depth reporting explores the fundamental causes, involves multiple perspectives, and uncovers the hidden truths that shape our world, helping readers get a more comprehensive understanding of complicated matters.(深度报道探究根本原因,涉及多个角度,揭示塑造我们世界的隐藏真相,帮助读者更全面地了解复杂的事物)”可知,深度报道可以提高读者对复杂问题的理解。故选D项。
31.细节理解题。根据最后一段“While social media have changed the way we consume news, the quality of news remains essential for the public. It’s crucial for the news industry to achieve a balance between catering to changing reader preferences while also maintaining the integrity (完整性) of news. This means providing both quick updates and in-depth analysis, and using social media to promote their content, but not at the expense of accuracy or integrity. By doing so, news organizations can ensure that they remain relevant and trusted sources of information in a rapidly changing media environment.(虽然社交媒体改变了我们读新闻的方式,但新闻的质量对公众来说仍然至关重要。对于新闻行业来说,在迎合不断变化的读者偏好和保持新闻的完整性之间取得平衡至关重要。这意味着提供快速更新和深入分析,并利用社交媒体推广他们的内容,但不以准确性或完整性为代价。通过这样做,新闻机构可以确保它们在迅速变化的媒体环境中保持相关性和可信赖的信息来源)”可知,作者建议新闻业应该在满足读者偏好的同时,确保新闻的质量。故选C项。
D
Medical artificial intelligence (AI) can perform with expert-level accuracy and deliver cost-effective care. IBM’s Watson diagnoses (诊断) heart disease better than cardiologists (心脏病专家) do. Chatbots give better medical advice to patients in place of nurses. Some forecast that medical AI will enter 90% of hospitals and replace as much as 80% of what doctors currently do. Yet, as our recent research suggests, patients show a strong resistance to medical AI.
The reason, we found, is not the belief that AI provides lower care. Nor is it that patients think that AI is more costly or less informative. Rather, resistance to medical AI seems to come from a belief that AI does not take into account one’s specific circumstances. People view themselves as unique. By contrast, they think medical care delivered by AI providers is suited to treat an average patient but unsuitable to account for the unique circumstances that apply to an individual. No wonder that medical AI providers are given a cold welcome.
There are a number of steps that care providers can take to overcome patients’ resistance to medical AI. For example, if an AI provider is capable of tailoring its recommendation for whether to have a surgery to each patient’s unique characteristics and medical history, patients would be likely to follow the treatment recommendations of the AI provider. In addition, health care providers could also deliver individualized health care by explaining how the algorithms (算法) work and sharing patients’ reviews with the media. Having a physician confirm the recommendation of an AI provider should make people more willing to accept AI-based care. People are comfortable using medical AI if a physician remains in charge of the ultimate decision.
AI-based health care technologies are being developed and employed at an impressive rate, providing better medical services for the patients. But harnessing the full potential of them will require that we first overcome patients’ doubt of having an algorithm, rather than a person making decisions about their care.
32.What made people resist the medical AI
A.A sufferer’s temper ignored by medical AI.
B.People’s lasting trust in a human doctor’s ability.
C.The concern about its personalization in treatment.
D.The accuracy of the information from medical AI.
33.What can be a solution to patients’ resistance according to the author
A.Treating sufferers as average patients.
B.Providing a more specific treatment.
C.Getting the algorithms prioritized in time.
D.Keeping away from the influence of a physician.
34.Which word can replace the underlined word “harnessing” in the last paragraph
A.Weakening. B.Storing. C.Destroying. D.Using.
35.What is the suitable title for the text
A.Advantages of Medical AI
B.Potential Application of AI
C.How AI Replaces Nurses in Healthcare
D.The Challenge That Medical AI Faces
【答案】32.C 33.B 34.D 35.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了虽然医疗人工智能可以提供较好的医疗服务,但是患者有强烈的抵触,其原因在于人们担心它无法提供个性化治疗,因此要想充分发挥医疗人工智能的潜力,需要首先解决患者对它的抵触。
32.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Rather, resistance to medical AI seems to come from a belief that AI does not take into account one’s specific circumstances. People view themselves as unique. By contrast, they think medical care delivered by AI providers is suited to treat an average patient but unsuitable to account for the unique circumstances that apply to an individual. (相反,对医疗人工智能的抵制似乎来自一种信念,即人工智能不会考虑到个人的具体情况。人们认为自己是独一无二的。相比之下,他们认为人工智能提供者提供的医疗服务适合治疗普通患者,但不适合解释适用于个人的独特情况)”可知,人们担心医疗人工智能无法提供适合个人的个性化治疗,因此抵触它。故选C项。
33.细节理解题。根据第三段中“For example, if an AI provider is capable of tailoring its recommendation for whether to have a surgery to each patient’s unique characteristics and medical history, patients would be likely to follow the treatment recommendations of the AI provider. (例如,如果人工智能提供者能够根据每个患者的独特特征和病史量身定制是否进行手术的建议,那么患者可能会遵循人工智能提供者的治疗建议)”可知,作者认为根据患者的具体情况提供更具体的治疗,可能可以解决患者对医疗人工智能的抵触。故选B项。
34.词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“AI-based health care technologies are being developed and employed at an impressive rate, providing better medical services for the patients. (基于人工智能的医疗保健技术正在以惊人的速度发展和应用,为患者提供更好的医疗服务)”和下文“that we first overcome patients’ doubt of having an algorithm, rather than a person making decisions about their care (我们首先要克服病人对由算法而非人来决定他们的护理的怀疑)”可知,此处先肯定医疗人工智能的发展可以带来更好的医疗服务,再提出要解决人们对医疗人工智能的怀疑。由此推知,该解决方法的目的在于充分利用医疗人工智能的潜能,画线词意思应该与use“使用,利用”一致。故选D项。
35.主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章第一段先介绍虽然医疗人工智能可以提供较好的医疗服务,但是患者强烈抵触医疗人工智能,第二段分析了这种抵触背后的原因,第三段从原因入手提出相应的解决方法,最后一段总结我们需要消除患者的强烈抵触,才能充分利用医疗人工智能。因此,D项“医疗人工智能面临的挑战”契合文章主要内容,最适合作为标题。故选D项。
第二节(共5小题:每小题2分, 满分10分)
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It's common to communicate by way of text, and that works well for everything from setting plans with a friend to asking you to pick up a grocery item. 36 . Fighting over text, can cause problems and can even break up friendships or partnerships. Ahead, we'll examine why.
● There's no vocal tone involved
When we speak, the person we're talking to can tell how serious or light we are by our tone. 37 . Everything is flat in writing, so without vocal tone to clarify, it's easy to assume the worst in someone and their intentions.
● 38
We also communicate in person through nonverbal ways. How we act physically lets others know how we feel. And without that in text, an argument can be worsened to a terrible point without one person even becoming aware of how upset the other is.
● Different communication paces affect a lot
39 . And when arguing, it can get even faster. It happens not to read all of a person's reply before you respond again, and the more upset you get, the harder it may be to express yourself clearly or to understand the person you're fighting with.
● Emojis and gifs can be hurtful
In the same way that visual communication tools like emojis and gifs can add fun to conversations, they can also make things much worse in a text disagreement. It can be challenging to know when you've taken emojis or gifs to a hurtful place, especially if the other person holds in that information and doesn't tell you at the moment. 40 .
A.Body language is absent
B.Text, on the other hand, has no tone
C.Long-term healthy relationships collapse
D.Texting is generally a quick back-and-forth exchange
E.This happens if he is feeling unsafe in the discussion
F.However, we may have taken communication by text too far
G.Our tone tells us a conversation is heading in the wrong direction
【答案】36.F 37.B 38.A 39.D 40.E
【导语】这是一篇说明文。人们使用文本信息作为交流方式,可能会引发问题,甚至会破坏友谊或伙伴关系。短文分析了其中的原因。
36.根据上文“It's common to communicate by way of text, and that works well for everything from setting plans with a friend to asking you to pick up a grocery item.”(通过短信交流是很常见的,这对任何事情都很有效,从和朋友制定计划到让你去买东西)根据下文“Fighting over text, can cause problems and can even break up friendships or partnerships.”(因短信内容而争吵,可能会造成问题,甚至可能破坏友谊或伙伴关系)可知,选项与上文为转折关系,且引起下文,说明人们过于注重短信交流。故F选项“然而,我们可能过于重视通过短信进行沟通”切题。故选F项。
37.根据下文“Everything is flat in writing, so without vocal tone to clarify, it's easy to assume the worst in someone and their intentions.”(所有的文字都是平淡无奇的,所以如果没有明确的语气,很容易就会把别人和他们的意图往最坏的方面想)可知,短信表达不出语气。故B选项“另一方面,文本信息表达不出语气”切题。故选B项。
38.根据下文“We also communicate in person through nonverbal ways. How we act physically lets others know how we feel. And without that in text, an argument can be worsened to a terrible point without one person even becoming aware of how upset the other is.”(我们也通过非语言的方式进行面对面的交流。我们的身体行为让别人知道我们的感受。如果文本交流里没有肢体语言,一场争吵可能会恶化到一个可怕的地步,而一方甚至都没有意识到另一方有多生气)可知,本段咋说文本交流缺乏肢体语言。故A选项“文本交流缺乏肢体语言”切题,为本段的小标题。故选A项。
39.根据下文“And when arguing, it can get even faster.”(争吵的时候,甚至会变得更快)可知,文本交流时一种快速的互动交流。故D选项“文本交流时一种快速的互动交流”切题。Quick呼应faster故选D项。
40.根据上文“ It can be challenging to know when you've taken emojis or gifs to a hurtful place, especially if the other person holds in that information and doesn't tell you at the moment.”(知道你什么时候因为emojis or gifs而伤人可能很有挑战性,尤其是如果对方掌握了这些信息,而现在没有告诉你。)可知,选项承接上文说明这种情况发生的地点。故E选项“如果他在讨论中感到不安全,就会发生这种情况”切题。故选E项。

【答案】
61.has gained 62.leaving 63.for 64.the 65.are targeted 66.what 67.and 68.tourists’ 69.further 70.to tell
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了中国黑龙江省哈尔滨市(以冰雪节闻名,被昵称为“Erbin”)近期在中国各地受到的关注,以及旅游部门如何利用各种策略来吸引游客、促进文化旅游的现象。
61.考查动词时态。句意:最近,以冰雪节而闻名的黑龙江省哈尔滨市的昵称“尔宾”在全国范围内流行起来。gain作本句的谓语,根据标志词recently可知,用现在完成时,主语是The term “Erbin”,为第三人称单数,助动词使用has。故填has gained。
62.考查非谓语动词。句意:许多旅游部门的官员都在使用各种手段来促进文化旅游,这让网民们在娱乐中尖叫。本句已有谓语动词are using,所以leave用非谓语形式,和逻辑主语Many tourism officials之间是主动关系,用现在分词形式。故填leaving。
63.考查介词。句意:从线上炒作转向线下参与,其他省份的旅游部门也在争夺游客。此处是固定搭配:compete for意为“为夺取……竞争”。故填for。
64.考查冠词。句意:这种“花式老鼠赛跑”的本质在于,各种区域文化旅游活动都以春节旅游热潮为目标,利用炒作吸引游客,促进当地经济。本句是that引导的同位语从句,fact特指后文提到的事实,所以应用定冠词修饰。故填the。
65.考查动词时态和语态。句意:这种“花式老鼠赛跑”的本质在于,各种区域文化旅游活动都以春节旅游热潮为目标,利用炒作吸引游客,促进当地经济。此处是固定搭配:be targeted at意为“以……为目标”,主语是various regional cultural tourism initiatives,为复数,根据前文的lies可知,用一般现在时,be动词使用are。故填are targeted。
66.考查主语从句。句意:但为了吸引更多的游客,仅仅依靠宣传和奢侈品策略似乎是不明智的。分析句子结构可知,空处引导主语从句,从句中缺少主语,指代事物,用what引导。故填what。
67.考查连词。句意:首先,他们需要建设更好的通往景点和旅游服务平台的道路,并设置适当的交通标志。根据句意可知,“build better roads to scenic spots and tourist service platforms”和后文“set proper traffic signs.”为并列关系,用and连接。故填and。
68.考查名词所有格。句意:二是提供相关配套服务,提升游客体验。空后是名词,所以空处应填名词所有格作定语。故填tourists’。
69.考查副词。句意:为此,旅游景点和城市需要进一步开发旅游景点和配套设施。空处修饰空后的动词,应用副词修饰,根据句意,表达“进一步开发”之意,用副词比较级further。故填further。
70.考查非谓语动词。句意:讲述令人信服的当地文化故事也很重要。此处是固定句型:it is+adj.+to do sth.意为“做什么事是怎样的”。故填to tell。

I’ve been in Shanghai for weeks and it has all gone by so quick. Now I’m there reflecting on how this experience has helped I better understand Chinese culture. Shanghai has population of over 23 million people, who is more than the population of the top 8 most populated cities in the U.S. combined. All throughout my stay in China, I’ve seen Chinese people wore shirts with English words on them, and heard American music coming from speaker. I’ve felt comfortable in China, and although there were differences, it’s not hard to adjust. Chinese culture is different, so Western culture is too, and in this way, they’re so similar to.
【答案】第一处:quick→quickly
第二处:there→here
第三处:I→me
第四处:在 population 前加不定冠词 a
第五处:who→which
第六处:wore→wearing/wear
第七处:speaker→speakers
第八处:were→are
第九处:so→but/and
第十处:去掉 similar 后面的 to
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在上海旅游回家后的感悟,他认为不同文化可以和谐相处。
【详解】第一处:考查副词。修饰前面的动词短语 gone by 应该用其副词形式作状语。故将quick改为quickly。
第二处:考查副词。此处指作者返回美国的家里后,回想起在上海旅游时的经历,因此应该使用 here,表示“在家”,而非在上海。故将there改为here。
第三处:考查代词。作动词 help 的宾语应该使用其宾格形式。故将I改为me。
第四处:考查冠词。在 population 前加不定冠词a。a population of...“……的人口”。 故在 population 前加 a。
第五处:考查定语从句的关系词。此处是定语从句,先行词为前面的 population,指物,且在句中作主语,故用关系代词 which 引导非限制性定语从句。故将who改为which。
第六处:考查非谓语动词。see sb. doing“看见某人做某事”,表示动作在进行;see sb. do sth. 看到某人做某事,强调动作已完成。二者在此处都说得通。但最佳还是 wearing。故将wore改为wearing/wear。
第七处:考查名词的数。此处表示作者听到从“喇叭”里面传出的美国音乐。speaker“喇叭;扬声器”,是可数名词,在这里应该用其复数形式。故将speaker改为speakers。
第八处:考查时态。此处表示一种事实,故用一般现在时态。故将were改为are。
第九处:考查连词。分析句意“中国文化不同,西方文化也是如此”可知, 前后语境为转折关系或者并列关系。故将so改为but/and。
第十处:考查介词 。根据句意可知,此处是 similar 作表语,后面的to 多余,如果有 to 的话,to 后面还应有宾语。故去掉 similar 后面的 to。
