For decades it's been hoped that seawater could be desalinated(淡化) to resolve the problem of drinking water shortage. Yet desalination plants still provide only around one percent of the world's drinking water. The progress goes slowly as desalination plants are expensive to build and use enormous quantities of energy to run. Energy accounts for one-third to more than half the cost of producing desalinated water.
In Saudi Arabia, the world's largest producer of desalinated water, the process accounts for up to a fifth of the nation's energy consumption. But all this may be changing. A 2020 study found that, globally, the average cost of desalinated water could more than halve if solar power and battery storage systems were used. Across the world, there are around 180 facilities currently under construction, or in their design phase, mostly in the Middle East and North Africa. New sources of renewable energy like solar power mean it's getting cheaper to power energy-hungry desalination equipment in sunny and water-stressed areas.
Egypt and Morocco, for example, are building renewable-powered plants designed both to provide drinking water and to water crops. In South Australia, a self-cooling greenhouse design that uses wind to desalinate seawater for crops is part of a commercial project producing 15 percent of Australian-grown tomatoes. Scientists are also making major breakthroughs, such as new self-cleaning membrane(膜状物) technology, which improve the desalination process.
One start-up, Core Power, is developing nuclear-powered offshore plants. Another, Oneka, is employing wave power for desalination units. This wave of growth and innovation is set to continue. A global desalination equipment market valued at 17 billion dollars in 2023 is expected to grow to 32 billion dollars by 2030.
But serious challenges remain. Most facilities still use non-renewable fuels to power the plants, and the pouring of processed seawater into the sea poses a threat to sea life. These problems will have to be addressed as a thirsty world looks to the desalination industry to provide its fresh water.
24.What result(s) in the slow progress of desalination
A.High production costs.
B.Environmental concerns.
C.Lack of official support.
D.Few demands for fresh water.
25.What do the facts in paragraph 3 and paragraph 4 imply concerning the desalination industry
A.It faces huge investment risks.
B.It'll end water shortage soon.
C.It's merely a temporary success.
D.It promises a bright prospect.
26.In which of the following publications would this text be printed
A.Motor Trend. B.Runner's World.
C.The Economist. D.Psychology Today.
27.What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows
A.Why we depend on fresh water to live.
B.How to lessen negative effects of desalination.
C.What to do to store fresh water against droughts.
D.How desalination technologies boost water supply.
C
If Confucius(孔子) were still alive today and could celebrate his birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He'd need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.
While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It's nothing personal. Most Americans don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.
In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 100 countries. These schools teach both the Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Western philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power to the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.
So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well.
Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.
As for the old thinker, he won't soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.
28.What is the first paragraph mainly intended to do
A.To provide some key facts about Confucius.
B.To attract the readers' interest in the subject.
C.To show great respect for the ancient thinker.
D.To prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations.
29.What can we learn about the American students from paragraph 4
A.They have a great interest in studying Chinese.
B.They try to get high scores in their Chinese exams.
C.They take an active part in fierce Chinese competitions.
D.They fight for a chance to understand Chinese customers.
30.What is the best title for the passage
A.Forgotten Wisdom in America
B.Huge Fans of the Chinese Language
C.Chinese Culture for Westerners
D.Old Thinker with a Big Future
31.Where is the passage most likely to appear
A.In a biography. B.In a history paper.
C.In a newspaper. D.In a philosophy textbook.
D
Gifts and packaging play a crucial role in providing an income and educating visitors.
After enjoying a museum or art gallery, Milly Zi, a management adviser in Beijing, usually visits the souvenir shop to buy something to remember the visit. About a decade ago, Zi was attracted by a roll of sticky tape in the Taipei Palace Museum. The tape, designed in red, yellow and white, had four Chinese characters making a phrase—zhenzhidaole—a sentence of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, meaning “I am aware.” “The product has history and culture in it,” Zi said, “and it has aroused my interest in learning more about the history behind it.”
The latest digital technology is also helping museums to be more creative. In October 2021, the Hubei Provincial Museum released 10,000 digital copies of the sword of Goujian, king of the state of Yue during the Spring and Autumn period, a famous cultural relic on display in the museum. Their popularity can be gauged by how quickly they sold out. “All the copies were sold in just three seconds,” said Wang Xianfu, deputy head of the museum.
Digital collections go beyond the restrictions of time and space, making museums more open, interesting and modern. “It's a new experience, a combination of civilization and modern high-tech,” Wang said.
“The popularity of digital cultural relics has resulted in more museums exploring the concept. Digitized cultural relics are a new form of creative cultural products, which can be sold, purchased, collected and used,” Ma Xiaolin said, head of the Henan Museum.
“I think museums have two functions—to remember and to spread Chinese culture,” said Yu Lin, manager of the development department at Ant Group. “I hope new technologies will promote Chinese culture in a way the younger generation is happy to accept.”
32.Why did the tape attract Milly Zi
A.It was used by Kangxi.
B.It has a long history.
C.It is a digital cultural relic.
D.It was creatively designed.
33.What does the underlined word “gauged” in paragraph 3 mean
A.Judged. B.Guarded. C.Developed. D.Gained.
34.Why does the author mention the digital copies of the sword of Goujian
A.To emphasize the importance of Chinese cultural relics.
B.To make an advertisement for the Hubei Provincial Museum.
C.To illustrate a modern technology to make museums' work effective.
D.To popularize the ancient Chinese civilizations of the Spring and Autumn period.
35.What should museums do nowadays to make themselves more attractive
A.Open more souvenir shops.
B.Go digital with modern technology.
C.Produce more cultural gifts.
D.Invite experts to give lectures on Chinese history.

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。
As I unzipped my lunchbox, the whole place was turned into a spicy curry(咖喱) dream. I immediately hid it under my seat, hoping no one would take notice.
Mom had really outdone herself with masala—our family's all-time favorite dish back in India. But today, it wasn't just about me and my lunch. A warm smile on his face, Ricky invited me, a new transfer student from India to New York City, for lunch.
“Ava, come sit here!” Ricky called out, gesturing towards a vacant seat.
As I made my way over, memories of those awkward lunchtimes when I studied in Kansas, one of the most conservative states, flooded back. I could still recall how everyone would wrinkle their noses and stare curiously when I unpacked my Indian food. It always made me feel like an outsider, like I didn't belong.
Therefore, before my first day in this school, I had demanded my mom pack “normal” Western-style food for me. I still remembered the look on her face upon hearing it, as she sighed in disappointment and confusion, “Isn't there a moment when you feel proud of your origin ” That was hurting, but not more hurting than others' giggles and whispers. Honestly, long queues were common in Indian restaurants in New York City, a cultural melting pot, but I wouldn't take that risk.
Unfortunately, this morning, Mom had forgotten to make sandwiches or any “normal” food, so I had to bring leftovers from our dinner. At the thought of the possible ohno-second(社死), I felt like being thrown into darkness.
However, before I came back to reality, Ricky noticed my sneaking(躲躲藏藏). “What do you have for lunch ” he asked, his eyes twinkling with interest. I tried to brush it off(搪塞), claiming I wasn't hungry. But Ricky wouldn't let it go, and before I could protest, he had the lid of my lunchbox open and I prepared myself for such familiar responses as “Eww.” or “What is that ”
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
However, I did not get what I was expecting.
After school, I found Mom preparing sandwiches for tomorrow's lunch.

34.C 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句可知,最新的数字技术也在帮助博物馆更具创造性。本句是该段的主题句,由此推断,下文举勾践的剑的数字复制品的例子就是为了证明现代技术使得博物馆的工作更高效、更具创造性。故选C。
35.B 推理判断题。结合全文对博物馆利用数字技术的介绍,特别是文章最后一句话“I hope new technologies will promote Chinese culture in a way the younger generation is happy to accept.”可知,博物馆要想更具有吸引力,就要利用现代科技实现数字化。故选B。

第三部分 语言运用
第一节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文,主要介绍携程集团CEO孙洁在美国留学时的经历以及现在的成就。
41.C 根据本句中的“Asia's largest online travel agency”以及“China's Great Wall...Italy's ancient ruins”可知,这家亚洲最大的线上旅行社可将人们和世界各地最佳的旅游目的地联系在一起。故C项正确。
42.A 根据常识可知,文化经历能够作为桥梁,消除分歧和冲突,此处bridge 意为“消除(分歧)”。故A项正确。
43.D 此处指她之前在北京大学上学,attend有“经常去(某处)”之意,与学校连用意为“上学”。故D项正确。
44.A 根据后文对她留学期间克服困难的描述可知,此处应该表达“最终完成了深造”。故A项正确。
45.C 依据后文她每天早上骑车六英里去赶最早的课以便在其余的时间打工可知,与她的同学们相比,孙洁的生活节奏非常快。故C项正确。
46.D 根据后面的“so she could spend...working to pay her education fees”可推测,她上一天中最早的课来为打工腾出时间。故D项正确。
47.B 前文讲述孙洁留学期间克服了很多困难,设空处后文说她深情地回忆她在佛罗里达大学的日子,并表示她在留学期间收获很大,故此处应用However连接前后文。故B项正确。
48.C 空前句讲在佛罗里达大学的讨论至今还影响着孙洁的领导风格,空后内容举例说明特别是在哪一方面。故C项正确。
49.C 根据下一段的“In a global market, you have to have a very good understanding of different people and 51 different cultures.”可知孙洁在讨论过程中学会了倾听其他人的不同观点。故C项正确。
50.D issue在此处意为“争论的问题”,different arguments over a certain issue 意为“关于某个问题的不同论点”。故D项正确。
51.B 空前的“have a very good understanding of different people (很好地理解不同的人)”与“respect different cultures(尊重不同的文化)”逻辑相符,构成并列关系。故B项正确。

第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国美妆品牌花西子在海外开设分店的情况和中国时尚品牌的快速发展。
56.becoming 考查动词-ing 形式。句中已有谓语has opened且无连词,所以设空处应用非谓语动词;提示词become与句子主语Florasis之间是主动关系,表示自然而然的结果,所以用动词-ing形式作结果状语。故填becoming。
57.to launch 考查动词不定式。根据语境可知,“在巴黎开设新店”是“合作”的目的,所以设空处应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to launch。
58.global 考查形容词。设空处修饰名词footprint,作定语,应用形容词。故填global。
59.to 考查介词。apply...to...意为“把……运用到……中”,此处为其被动形式be applied to。故填to。
60.a 考查冠词。a series of意为“一系列……”,为固定短语。故填a。
61.extremely 考查副词。设空处作状语修饰形容词proud,应用副词。故填extremely。
62.whose 考查定语从句。分析句子可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词Chinese makeup指物,关系词在从句中作定语,所以应用关系代词whose引导定语从句。
63.has provided 考查动词时态和主谓一致。分析句子可知,设空处作句子的谓语,由句中的时间状语In the past few years可知应用现在完成时;主语the rapid development表示单数意义,所以助动词应用has。故填has provided。
64.stronger 考查形容词的比较级。设空处与and后的higher并列,所以也应用形容词的比较级。故填stronger。
65.growth 考查名词。根据空前的the和空后的of可知,设空处应用名词。故填growth。

Dear Sir or Madam,
On seeing the information in the school newspaper, I sincerely hope my family can have the honor to be the host family.
My parents are considerate and friendly and our home is next to the city center. What's more, we can offer one separate room to the student. Besides, if given the chance, we can show him around the city, getting him to know more about the real life and culture in China.
In a word, I'm eager to provide an impressive trip for the foreign friend. I hope you can take my application into consideration.
Yours sincerely,

第二节
One possible version:
However, I did not get what I was expecting. Ricky took a deep breath, and closed his eyes, smelling. Instead of the usual stares and whispers, there was only interest on Ricky's face, asking, “Your mum made masala for your lunch ” Before I could make a response, he added, “I could be dying of envy! You know what, last Sunday, my parents and I queued up for three hours in the harsh cold on Fifth Avenue for the new Indian restaurant.” He enjoyed every bite, nodding his head in approval.
After school, I found Mom preparing sandwiches for tomorrow's lunch. I came over and asked if I could have palak paneer in my lunchbox, which made her a bit confused. Finally, I told her about my experience with Ricky. Mom's face lit up with joy. “I'm glad he liked it,” she said. “And I'm even happier that you're starting to feel proud of your roots again.” She paused and looked at me seriously. “Your culture, your traditions, and your food are all a part of who you are.” Mom's words had given me the courage to embrace my identity and share my culture with others.

For decades it's been hoped that seawater could be desalinated(淡化) to resolve the problem of drinking water shortage. Yet desalination plants still provide only around one percent of the world's drinking water. The progress goes slowly as desalination plants are expensive to build and use enormous quantities of energy to run. Energy accounts for one-third to more than half the cost of producing desalinated water.
In Saudi Arabia, the world's largest producer of desalinated water, the process accounts for up to a fifth of the nation's energy consumption. But all this may be changing. A 2020 study found that, globally, the average cost of desalinated water could more than halve if solar power and battery storage systems were used. Across the world, there are around 180 facilities currently under construction, or in their design phase, mostly in the Middle East and North Africa. New sources of renewable energy like solar power mean it's getting cheaper to power energy-hungry desalination equipment in sunny and water-stressed areas.
Egypt and Morocco, for example, are building renewable-powered plants designed both to provide drinking water and to water crops. In South Australia, a self-cooling greenhouse design that uses wind to desalinate seawater for crops is part of a commercial project producing 15 percent of Australian-grown tomatoes. Scientists are also making major breakthroughs, such as new self-cleaning membrane(膜状物) technology, which improve the desalination process.
One start-up, Core Power, is developing nuclear-powered offshore plants. Another, Oneka, is employing wave power for desalination units. This wave of growth and innovation is set to continue. A global desalination equipment market valued at 17 billion dollars in 2023 is expected to grow to 32 billion dollars by 2030.
But serious challenges remain. Most facilities still use non-renewable fuels to power the plants, and the pouring of processed seawater into the sea poses a threat to sea life. These problems will have to be addressed as a thirsty world looks to the desalination industry to provide its fresh water.
24.What result(s) in the slow progress of desalination
A.High production costs.
B.Environmental concerns.
C.Lack of official support.
D.Few demands for fresh water.
25.What do the facts in paragraph 3 and paragraph 4 imply concerning the desalination industry
A.It faces huge investment risks.
B.It'll end water shortage soon.
C.It's merely a temporary success.
D.It promises a bright prospect.
26.In which of the following publications would this text be printed
A.Motor Trend. B.Runner's World.
C.The Economist. D.Psychology Today.
27.What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows
A.Why we depend on fresh water to live.
B.How to lessen negative effects of desalination.
C.What to do to store fresh water against droughts.
D.How desalination technologies boost water supply.

If Confucius(孔子) were still alive today and could celebrate his birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He'd need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.
While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It's nothing personal. Most Americans don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.
In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 100 countries. These schools teach both the Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Western philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power to the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.
So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well.
Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.
As for the old thinker, he won't soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.
28.What is the first paragraph mainly intended to do
A.To provide some key facts about Confucius.
B.To attract the readers' interest in the subject.
C.To show great respect for the ancient thinker.
D.To prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations.
29.What can we learn about the American students from paragraph 4
A.They have a great interest in studying Chinese.
B.They try to get high scores in their Chinese exams.
C.They take an active part in fierce Chinese competitions.
D.They fight for a chance to understand Chinese customers.
30.What is the best title for the passage
A.Forgotten Wisdom in America
B.Huge Fans of the Chinese Language
C.Chinese Culture for Westerners
D.Old Thinker with a Big Future
31.Where is the passage most likely to appear
A.In a biography. B.In a history paper.
C.In a newspaper. D.In a philosophy textbook.
D
Gifts and packaging play a crucial role in providing an income and educating visitors.
After enjoying a museum or art gallery, Milly Zi, a management adviser in Beijing, usually visits the souvenir shop to buy something to remember the visit. About a decade ago, Zi was attracted by a roll of sticky tape in the Taipei Palace Museum. The tape, designed in red, yellow and white, had four Chinese characters making a phrase—zhenzhidaole—a sentence of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, meaning “I am aware.” “The product has history and culture in it,” Zi said, “and it has aroused my interest in learning more about the history behind it.”
The latest digital technology is also helping museums to be more creative. In October 2021, the Hubei Provincial Museum released 10,000 digital copies of the sword of Goujian, king of the state of Yue during the Spring and Autumn period, a famous cultural relic on display in the museum. Their popularity can be gauged by how quickly they sold out. “All the copies were sold in just three seconds,” said Wang Xianfu, deputy head of the museum.
Digital collections go beyond the restrictions of time and space, making museums more open, interesting and modern. “It's a new experience, a combination of civilization and modern high-tech,” Wang said.
“The popularity of digital cultural relics has resulted in more museums exploring the concept. Digitized cultural relics are a new form of creative cultural products, which can be sold, purchased, collected and used,” Ma Xiaolin said, head of the Henan Museum.
“I think museums have two functions—to remember and to spread Chinese culture,” said Yu Lin, manager of the development department at Ant Group. “I hope new technologies will promote Chinese culture in a way the younger generation is happy to accept.”
32.Why did the tape attract Milly Zi
A.It was used by Kangxi.
B.It has a long history.
C.It is a digital cultural relic.
D.It was creatively designed.
33.What does the underlined word “gauged” in paragraph 3 mean
A.Judged. B.Guarded. C.Developed. D.Gained.
34.Why does the author mention the digital copies of the sword of Goujian
A.To emphasize the importance of Chinese cultural relics.
B.To make an advertisement for the Hubei Provincial Museum.
C.To illustrate a modern technology to make museums' work effective.
D.To popularize the ancient Chinese civilizations of the Spring and Autumn period.
35.What should museums do nowadays to make themselves more attractive
A.Open more souvenir shops.
B.Go digital with modern technology.
C.Produce more cultural gifts.
D.Invite experts to give lectures on Chinese history.

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。
As I unzipped my lunchbox, the whole place was turned into a spicy curry(咖喱) dream. I immediately hid it under my seat, hoping no one would take notice.
Mom had really outdone herself with masala—our family's all-time favorite dish back in India. But today, it wasn't just about me and my lunch. A warm smile on his face, Ricky invited me, a new transfer student from India to New York City, for lunch.
“Ava, come sit here!” Ricky called out, gesturing towards a vacant seat.
As I made my way over, memories of those awkward lunchtimes when I studied in Kansas, one of the most conservative states, flooded back. I could still recall how everyone would wrinkle their noses and stare curiously when I unpacked my Indian food. It always made me feel like an outsider, like I didn't belong.
Therefore, before my first day in this school, I had demanded my mom pack “normal” Western-style food for me. I still remembered the look on her face upon hearing it, as she sighed in disappointment and confusion, “Isn't there a moment when you feel proud of your origin ” That was hurting, but not more hurting than others' giggles and whispers. Honestly, long queues were common in Indian restaurants in New York City, a cultural melting pot, but I wouldn't take that risk.
Unfortunately, this morning, Mom had forgotten to make sandwiches or any “normal” food, so I had to bring leftovers from our dinner. At the thought of the possible ohno-second(社死), I felt like being thrown into darkness.
However, before I came back to reality, Ricky noticed my sneaking(躲躲藏藏). “What do you have for lunch ” he asked, his eyes twinkling with interest. I tried to brush it off(搪塞), claiming I wasn't hungry. But Ricky wouldn't let it go, and before I could protest, he had the lid of my lunchbox open and I prepared myself for such familiar responses as “Eww.” or “What is that ”
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
However, I did not get what I was expecting.
After school, I found Mom preparing sandwiches for tomorrow's lunch.

第二部分 阅读
第一节
A
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇应用文。文章向潜在的学生推广一系列冬季海外留学项目,提供了每个项目的地点、特色课程以及一些吸引学生的亮点。
21.C 细节理解题。根据Program 1: January in Alicante部分中的“Featured Course: Culture, Festivities, and Traditions Through Spanish Cooking and Wine”可知,阿利坎特项目的参与者可以通过饮食体验来学习文化。故选C。
22.B 细节理解题。根据Program 2: January in Edinburgh部分中的“In Edinburgh...you'll broaden your understanding of Scottish history, modern affairs”可知,如果你对研究一个国家的历史和现代问题感兴趣,你应该选择爱丁堡一月行。故选B。
23.A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Since these programs are shorter than a full semester of a foreign country, they cost a lot less.”可知,这些项目比外国的一个完整的学期短,因此它们的费用要低得多。所以这四个项目的共同之处是在费用上具有优势。故选A。
B
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了通过利用可再生能源和新技术,海水淡化成本正在降低,市场增长迅速,但仍面临能源和环境挑战。
24.A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The progress goes slowly as desalination plants are expensive to build and use enormous quantities of energy to run.”可知,海水淡化厂的建设成本高昂,运转需要消耗大量能源,所以海水淡化进展缓慢。由此可知,生产成本高导致海水淡化进展缓慢。故选A。
25.D 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Scientists are also making major breakthroughs...which improve the desalination process.”和第四段中的“A global desalination equipment market valued at 17 billion dollars in 2023 is expected to grow to 32 billion dollars by 2030.”可推测,海水淡化行业前景光明。故选D。
26.C 推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章围绕海水淡化展开,介绍了其现状,并指出通过利用可再生能源和新技术,海水淡化成本正在降低,市场增长迅速,但仍面临能源和环境挑战。因此,文章与自然资源、工业技术和经济发展相关,可能被刊登在《经济学人》这种涉及商业、金融和科技等的刊物上。故选C。
27.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But serious challenges remain...These problems will have to be addressed as a thirsty world looks to the desalination industry to provide its fresh water.”可知,海水淡化领域仍然面临严峻的能源和环境挑战。由此可推测,接下来作者应该会探讨如何减少海水淡化的负面影响。故选B。
C
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了西方学生学习中国的文化的现象,并告诉我们中国古代伟大的思想家——孔子的思想仍然受到人们的追捧,成为中西方沟通的桥梁。
28.B 推理判断题。第一段讲如果孔子今天还活着,可以用一个大蛋糕来庆祝他的生日的话,会有很多蜡烛。他需要一把扇子或一阵大风来帮他扑灭它们。后文过渡到中国政府在其他国家开设孔子学院,西方学生学习中国的文化,孔子的思想仍然受到人们的追捧。由此推断,第一段是为了吸引读者的注意力,让读者继续读下去。故选B。
29.A 推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知,在过去的20年里,中国研究课程在西方大学里非常受欢迎。与此同时,美国的学生也在竞相学习汉语。由此推断,美国学生对中国文化很感兴趣。故选A。
30.D 主旨大意题。本文主要向我们介绍了随着中国文化的盛行,孔子的思想对西方的影响越来越大。由此推断,D项“有远大前程的老思想家”最适合作为本文的标题。故选D。
31.C 推理判断题。根据第四段的第二句和第六句可知,最近,中国政府在100多个国家设立了孔子学院。与此同时,美国的学生也在竞相学习汉语。比较四个选项可推断,本文是在讲现在孔子的思想对西方的影响,属于随时更新的新闻题材,所以最可能出现在报纸上。故选C。
D
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了博物馆是如何利用现代技术吸引参观者、传播中国文化的。
32.D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The tape, designed in red, yellow and white...history and culture in it”可知,胶带的设计和上面的内容蕴含着中国的历史和文化,这种设计很独特,所以胶带吸引Milly Zi的地方是其富有创造力的设计方式。故选D。
33.A 词义猜测题。根据下文“All the copies were sold in just three seconds”可知,勾践的剑的数字复制品很受欢迎;结合画线词前面的“popularity”和后面的“by how quickly they sold out”可知,画线词所在句表示“它们的受欢迎程度可以通过它们售完的速度来判断”。所以画线词是“判定;判断”的意思。故选A。
34.C 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句可知,最新的数字技术也在帮助博物馆更具创造性。本句是该段的主题句,由此推断,下文举勾践的剑的数字复制品的例子就是为了证明现代技术使得博物馆的工作更高效、更具创造性。故选C。
35.B 推理判断题。结合全文对博物馆利用数字技术的介绍,特别是文章最后一句话“I hope new technologies will promote Chinese culture in a way the younger generation is happy to accept.”可知,博物馆要想更具有吸引力,就要利用现代科技实现数字化。故选B。
第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,主要说明了成为寄宿家庭的利弊。
36.D 上文提到你可能会因为语言障碍而度过一段艰难的时光,D项顺承上文内容。故选D。
37.C 本段主要讲述寄宿家庭的额外费用,C项符合本段主旨,同时下文的内容也是C项中的“额外的费用”的具体体现。故选C。

39.A 设空处上句提到一路上你们两个会分享很多欢笑,也会留下持续一生的回忆,A项顺承上文内容,其中的“both of you”呼应上文中的“You two”。故选A。
40.B 设空处上句提到许多利与弊确实是密切相关的,B项顺承上文内容。故选B。
第三部分 语言运用
第一节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文,主要介绍携程集团CEO孙洁在美国留学时的经历以及现在的成就。
41.C 根据本句中的“Asia's largest online travel agency”以及“China's Great Wall...Italy's ancient ruins”可知,这家亚洲最大的线上旅行社可将人们和世界各地最佳的旅游目的地联系在一起。故C项正确。
42.A 根据常识可知,文化经历能够作为桥梁,消除分歧和冲突,此处bridge 意为“消除(分歧)”。故A项正确。
43.D 此处指她之前在北京大学上学,attend有“经常去(某处)”之意,与学校连用意为“上学”。故D项正确。
44.A 根据后文对她留学期间克服困难的描述可知,此处应该表达“最终完成了深造”。故A项正确。
45.C 依据后文她每天早上骑车六英里去赶最早的课以便在其余的时间打工可知,与她的同学们相比,孙洁的生活节奏非常快。故C项正确。
46.D 根据后面的“so she could spend...working to pay her education fees”可推测,她上一天中最早的课来为打工腾出时间。故D项正确。
47.B 前文讲述孙洁留学期间克服了很多困难,设空处后文说她深情地回忆她在佛罗里达大学的日子,并表示她在留学期间收获很大,故此处应用However连接前后文。故B项正确。
48.C 空前句讲在佛罗里达大学的讨论至今还影响着孙洁的领导风格,空后内容举例说明特别是在哪一方面。故C项正确。
49.C 根据下一段的“In a global market, you have to have a very good understanding of different people and 51 different cultures.”可知孙洁在讨论过程中学会了倾听其他人的不同观点。故C项正确。
50.D issue在此处意为“争论的问题”,different arguments over a certain issue 意为“关于某个问题的不同论点”。故D项正确。
51.B 空前的“have a very good understanding of different people (很好地理解不同的人)”与“respect different cultures(尊重不同的文化)”逻辑相符,构成并列关系。故B项正确。
52.C shoulder可作动词,意为“肩负”,shoulder the responsibility as the CEO意为“肩负起首席执行官的职责”。故C项正确。
53.A 由空后的“I show them...”可知孙洁作为母亲要做孩子们的行为榜样。 role model行为榜样。故A项正确。
54.C 此处指工作实际上就是挑战自己。故C项正确。
55.D 前文提到孙洁既是两个孩子的母亲,也是CEO,此处指如果你在工作和为人母亲方面都加倍努力,得到的回报也会加倍。故D项正确。
第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国美妆品牌花西子在海外开设分店的情况和中国时尚品牌的快速发展。
56.becoming 考查动词-ing 形式。句中已有谓语has opened且无连词,所以设空处应用非谓语动词;提示词become与句子主语Florasis之间是主动关系,表示自然而然的结果,所以用动词-ing形式作结果状语。故填becoming。
57.to launch 考查动词不定式。根据语境可知,“在巴黎开设新店”是“合作”的目的,所以设空处应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to launch。
58.global 考查形容词。设空处修饰名词footprint,作定语,应用形容词。故填global。
59.to 考查介词。apply...to...意为“把……运用到……中”,此处为其被动形式be applied to。故填to。
60.a 考查冠词。a series of意为“一系列……”,为固定短语。故填a。
61.extremely 考查副词。设空处作状语修饰形容词proud,应用副词。故填extremely。
62.whose 考查定语从句。分析句子可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词Chinese makeup指物,关系词在从句中作定语,所以应用关系代词whose引导定语从句。
63.has provided 考查动词时态和主谓一致。分析句子可知,设空处作句子的谓语,由句中的时间状语In the past few years可知应用现在完成时;主语the rapid development表示单数意义,所以助动词应用has。故填has provided。
64.stronger 考查形容词的比较级。设空处与and后的higher并列,所以也应用形容词的比较级。故填stronger。
65.growth 考查名词。根据空前的the和空后的of可知,设空处应用名词。故填growth。
第四部分 写作
第一节
One possible version:
Dear Sir or Madam,
On seeing the information in the school newspaper, I sincerely hope my family can have the honor to be the host family.
My parents are considerate and friendly and our home is next to the city center. What's more, we can offer one separate room to the student. Besides, if given the chance, we can show him around the city, getting him to know more about the real life and culture in China.
In a word, I'm eager to provide an impressive trip for the foreign friend. I hope you can take my application into consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
However, I did not get what I was expecting. Ricky took a deep breath, and closed his eyes, smelling. Instead of the usual stares and whispers, there was only interest on Ricky's face, asking, “Your mum made masala for your lunch ” Before I could make a response, he added, “I could be dying of envy! You know what, last Sunday, my parents and I queued up for three hours in the harsh cold on Fifth Avenue for the new Indian restaurant.” He enjoyed every bite, nodding his head in approval.
After school, I found Mom preparing sandwiches for tomorrow's lunch. I came over and asked if I could have palak paneer in my lunchbox, which made her a bit confused. Finally, I told her about my experience with Ricky. Mom's face lit up with joy. “I'm glad he liked it,” she said. “And I'm even happier that you're starting to feel proud of your roots again.” She paused and looked at me seriously. “Your culture, your traditions, and your food are all a part of who you are.” Mom's words had given me the courage to embrace my identity and share my culture with others.
