二、阅读理解(共4小题;每小题5分,满分20分)
Many older people around the world have at least one common concern: How to get younger people hooked on their electronic devices interested in classic literature Take the Monkey King, or Sun Wukong, as an example. The main character in the 16th-century classic novel, Journey to the West, is a romantic figure of bravery and adventure that fascinated millions of readers before the appearance of online attractions.
Havoc in Heaven, a new Peking Opera film, attracted the wider public to the charm of the traditional Chinese performance art, featuring one of the best-known chapters from Journey to the West. This film, expected to create a new channel for promoting Peking Opera, includes nearly all the key ingredients of Peking Opera. It covers all the basic techniques, more than 10 classic tunes, and make-up for dozens of facial representations of different figures' characteristics.
It's actually a big challenge to combine Peking Opera and film, each of which has its own rhythm, according to Cheng Lu, director of the film, who is adopting a fresh approach to present the traditional art form. One challenge that Cheng and his production team faced was how to balance the new approach with maintaining the fundamentals of the art. The basic principles and performance skills in Peking Opera couldn't be changed.
Some background images on stage, such as a painted waterfall, remained, and a live band was on the set to provide sound for the film, rather than employing the pre-recorded music. "If we change traditions to cater to people's taste and preference for a regular film, it will no longer be a Peking Opera piece of art," Cheng said.
On the other hand, some creativity was needed because Cheng and his team did not just want to document a stage puter technology was also applied to achieve some visual effects and to present impossible scenes.
Peking Opera films played a powerful role in the 1960s and 1970s, but they gave way to mote diverse entertainment. In recent years, there has been a recovery in the popularity of Peking Opera films. However, the overuse of special effects in many film adaptations of Peking Opera plays has weakened the original charm of the stage performances. The imagination (enabled by the stage) can never be sacrificed for a film's expression.
11.What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To introduce a new Peking Opera film.
B. To blame young people addicted to electronic devices.
C. To express older people's concern about the younger generation.
D. To arouse readers' interest in traditional Chinese performance art.
12.What did Director Cheng do while producing the film
A. He made changes to basic performance skills.
B. He made use of symbols and motions equally.
C. He insisted on a band playing music on the scene.
D. He brought onto the stage exact details of real life.
13.What innovation did Cheng's team make
A. They opposed rigid recording of the performance.
B. They enriched visual effects with modern technology.
C. They allowed actors to repeat actions before the camera.
D. They adopted real explosion scenes during the shooting.
14.What can we conclude from the last paragraph
A. Imagination is a unique charm of Peking Opera films.
B. Technology makes up for the loss of stage imagination.
C. There is some possibility for a film to replace Peking Opera.
D. The original charm of Peking Opera cannot be sacrificed for films.

⑤_____ You could treat your review like a formal college essay. But it's more interesting if you make it your own.

Dear Miss Evans,
How is everything going! I am writing to ask you a favor regarding a play my classmates and I adapted according to the textbook.

The adaption is challenging. We don’t want anything inappropriate to spoil the play, so I wonder if you could spare some time to review the draft script attached to this email and make necessary changes If it is convenient, may I pay you a visit at your office next Tuesday to discuss more details
Given your busy schedule, I’d be very appreciative if you offer some professional advice. Look forward to your early reply. Best regards!

二、阅读理解(共4小题;每小题5分,满分20分)
AI could make it less necessary to learn foreign languages. That is good news for travellers, bad news for soulful connections.
Travel has long been a motivator for study—unless people start to feel Al tools offer a good-enough service. Some are concerned that apps are turning language acquisition into dwindling pursuit. Douglas Hofstadter, a writer, has argued that something important will disappear when people talk through machines. He describes giving a hesitant, difficult speech in Mandarin, which required a lot of work but offered a sense of achievement at the end. Who would show off taking a helicopter to the top of Mount Qomolangma
Others are less worried. Most people do not move abroad or have the kind of sustained contact with a foreign culture that requires them to put in the work to become fluent. Nor do most people learn languages for the purpose of humanising themselves or training their brains. On their holiday, they just want a beer and pizza.
As AI translation becomes a more popular labour-saving tool, people will divide into two groups. There will be those who want to challenge their minds, put themselves in other cultures or force their thinking into new pathways. This lot will still take on language study, often aided by technology. Others will look at learning a new language with a mix of admiration and confusion, as they might with extreme endurance (忍耐力) sports: "Good for you, if that's your thing, but a bit painful for my taste."
But a focus on the learner alone misses the fundamentally social nature of language. It is a bit like analysing the benefits of close relationships to heart health but overlooking the inner value of those bonds themselves. When you try to ask directions in broken Japanese or make a joke in halting (结结巴巴的) German, you are making direct contact with someone. And when you speak a language well enough to tell a story with perfect timing or put subtle (微妙的) shadings on an argument, that connection is still deeper.
11.What does the word "dwindling" in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Growing. B. Lasting. C. Declining. D. Challenging.
12.What is the underlined part "taking a helicopter to the top of Mount Qomolangma" compared to
A. Using AI tools to do the translation.
B. Doing the work that gives you satisfaction.
C. Making an effort to learn a new language.
D. Studying a language aided by technology.
13.Which of the following will the "Others" in Paragraph 4 agree with
A. People should stretch their minds in life.
B. Al translation tools offer a good service.
C. Extreme endurance sports are worth trying.
D. Language learning builds deep connections.
14.What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Language learning benefits learners alone.
B. Language learning is of value to human health.
C. We should reflect on language learning methods.
D. We should adopt a new angle on language learning.
三、七选五(共5小题;每小题4分,满分20分)
How to Have Open Communication
When you can communicate openly, you can start improving your relationships, both personal and professional, in a number of ways. ①_____ There are a few things that you can do when talking with someone to help have an open conversation.
②_____ Be mindful of where and when you need to have a discussion with someone, especially if you are having an important disagreement. Someone is not likely to be open when communicating if you are surrounded by family or out in public. Therefore, have a discussion when it's more convenient for both you and your partner.
Have patience. When emotions are high, it can be easy to be swept in those feelings and want to get all your points across. But this can make communication more difficult because you are so focused on your feelings that you aren't able to focus on what you need to say. Be patient and allow for silences that happen. ③_____
Take the time to listen to what the other person is saying. ④_____ This allows you to see if there is any misunderstanding and allows you the time to understand accurately. You don't need to agree with everything they say, but it is important to understand where they're coming from.
Be honest with your thoughts and your feelings. Sometimes you feel the need to soften your words to lessen the blow. ⑤_____ Regardless, when you leave out certain details, you're not able to communicate openly. You need to be honest with your partner about your needs and your experiences. By doing so, you're hopefully closer to being able to tackle the issue.
A. Wait for the appropriate time and place.
B. Discuss what you need to communicate openly.
C. Bring something positive into your communication.
D. Ask questions if you need to and even repeat what they said.
E. This could be because we don't want to offend the other person.
F. Open communication increases trust and helps bridge differences.
G. Sometimes you need a minute to think and accurately express your thoughts.

答案以及解析

2.答案:why
解析:句意为:他已经生病一周了。那就是他缺席语言课的原因。设空处引导表语从句,意为“那就是……的原因”, 用that is/was why...固定句型。
3.答案:originally
解析:句意为:他原本没有任何恶意,只是他表达自己想法的方式不太友好。设空处应用副词作状语,修饰meant no harm。
4.答案:are spent
解析:句意为:每个周末,她都花大量的空闲时间(练习)弹钢琴。“large amounts of+不可数名词”结构作主语时,谓语动词用复数形式。“a large amount of+不可数名词”结构作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。
5.答案:genuinely
解析:句意为:我等了很久才拿到一个我认为着实精彩的剧本。分析句子结构并结合句意可知,设空处修饰形容词 amazing,应用副词。故填 genuinely。
6.答案:striking
解析:句意为:结果显示,条件之间的差异明显。设空处修饰名词difference,作定语,并结合句意可知,此处应用形容词,意为“显著的”。故填striking。
7.答案:appearance
解析:句意为:我们不能仅仅以貌取人。设空处作by的宾语,其前有his or her修饰,应用名词appearance,表示“外貌;外表”。
8.答案:frightening
解析:句意为:这个小男孩听了那个吓人的故事后十分害怕,睡不着了。设空处应用形容词作定语,修饰其后面的名词。此处修饰story,表示“令人害怕的”,应填frightening。

二、阅读理解
11.答案:C
解析:词义猜测题。根据上文的Travel has long been a motivator for study—unless people start to feel AI tools offer a good-enough service.可知,此处介绍人工智能工具对人们学习语言的动力的负面影响。由此推知,画线词所在句表示“一些人会担心应用程序正在把语言习得变成日渐式微的追求”,由此猜测dwindling意为“越来越少的”,与declining意思一致。故选C项。
12.答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的Douglas Hofstadter, a writer, has argued that something important will disappear when people talk through machines ... Who would show off taking a helicopter to the top of Mount Qomolangma 可知,道格拉斯 霍夫施塔特的描述突出了学习语言伴随着挑战自我、战胜自我的成就感,但是当人们通过机器交谈时,一些重要的东西,如这种成就感就会消失。由此可知,“坐直升机登上了珠穆朗玛峰”就好比“使用人工智能工具进行翻译”,前者缺失的是参与登山带来的成就感,后者缺失的是不依赖机器参与语言学习带来的成就感。故选A项。
13.答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段中的Others will look at learning a new language with a mix of admiration and confusion, as they might with extreme endurance sports: “Good for you, if that's your thing, but a bit painful for my taste.”可知,这一类人会认为学习一门新语言令人钦佩,但是不适合自己,没有必要尝试。由此可知,他们会同意“人工智能翻译工具提供了好的服务”这一观点。故选B项。
14.答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,我们不能仅关注学习者,语言本身的社交本质更值得关注,学习语言会加深我们与他人之间的联系。由此可知,我们应该从一种全新的角度看待语言学习。故选D项。
三、七选五
答案:FAGDE
解析:①空前一句介绍了坦诚交流的一个好处,F项(坦诚交流能增强信任,有助于弥合分歧)承接上文内容,讲的仍然是坦诚交流的好处。故选F项。
②设空处为段首句,应概括本段内容。空后讲到交流时应该注意时间和地点,要在你和你的同伴都比较方便的时候进行讨论。A项(等待合适的时间和地点)能够概括本段内容。故选A项。
③本段主要讲交谈时要有耐心,空前一句Be patient and allow for silences that happen.讲到要有耐心,允许沉默发生。G项(有时,你需要一点时间来思考并准确表达你的想法)承接上文,表明情绪高涨时要给自己时间去思考。故选G项。
④空前一句讲到要花时间倾听对方在说什么,空后的This应是指设空处提到的内容,空后一句讲到这可以让你看看是否存在误解,并让你有时间准确地理解对方的话,因此D项(必要时可以提问,甚至可以重复他们说过的话)引出下文,符合This所指的内容。故选D项。
⑤根据空前的Sometimes you feel the need to soften your words to lessen the blow.可知,有时你会觉得有必要缓和自己的言辞来减轻对对方的打击,E项(这可能是因为我们不想冒犯对方)是对空前内容的解释,说明了这样做的原因。故选E项。
四、书面表达
Dear Tom,
In order to promote traditional Chinese culture, an activity about the culture of the Han Dynasty was held in our school hall yesterday. Since you are interested in traditional Chinese culture, I am writing to tell you about it.
