Lonely Planet has published its yearly list of top places to go. Whether you’re looking for adventure, culture, or value, there’s something for every type of traveler. Let’s explore the top picks for travel destinations in 2024. Top City: Nairobi Nairobi the Kenyan capital, was chosen for its unique music and dance culture, and impressive local restaurants. Nairobi National Park, just a short drive out of the city’s central business district, is a must-see, where visitors can see over 400 species wandering the open grass plains while skyscrapers (摩天大楼) twinkle on the horizon. Top Country: Mongolia Mongolia is loved for its wide-open spaces, adventure activities, and unique food. The Mongolian government has announced 2023 through 2025 as the “Years to Visit Mongolia,” easing entry conditions for international travelers and improving public facilities, including a new $650 million airport. Top Sustainable Travel Destination: Spain The publisher also recommended Spain for the country’s efforts to expand renewable energy, to develop off-season travel, and to bring tourism to new destinations, such as the port city of Valencia, easing pressures on hot spots such as Barcelona. Top Best-Value Location: The American Midwest The American Midwest, including the cities of Chicago and Detroit, is also on the list, as it offers a high-quality travel experience at a reasonable cost. Visitors can enjoy excellent services and facilities, such as old warehouses transformed into art studios, new eco-design (环保设计) hotels, and Michelin-starred restaurants, without having to spend too much money. Top Beach Destination: Donegal Donegal, Ireland’s most northwestern county, has the country’s longest coastline and over 100 beaches, where visitors can enjoy the highest sea cliffs in Europe and miles of beautiful coastal hiking trails. 1. What can people do in Nairobi National Park? A. Appreciate various animals. B. See musical performances. C. Taste impressive local dishes. D. Enjoy cultural activities. 2. Why is The American Midwest considered to be the Best-Value Location? A. It has highest sea cliffs. B. It offers cost-effective experiences. C. It provides excellent services and facilities. D. It is a best choice for art lover. 3. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A travel blog B. An art website C. A commercial advertisement D. A travel magazine B Even with the Olympic Games now over, echoes of the past days still remained. The National Police would show up around the same time, with soldiers pacing outside the venue entrances. Cafes did a roaring trade, catering to a steady stream of handball and volleyball fans, dressed in national colors, covered in flags, singing songs. After the Games, a different atmosphere settles in. This is Monday, Day +1 of the Games, the morning after the closing ceremony. The loudspeaker has fallen silent. The 7 am police officer procession is now a workers’ lorry, with workers in bright orange vests tidying away barriers. The roadblocks are gone. The cable car stop has reopened. Is this normal life in south-west Paris? The Games decoration still covers every public space, the flags wave, but the Olympic visitors have disappeared. Forget 28 Days Later — this is 28 Hours Later, and I am an Olympic zombie. During the Games, Paris welcomed 2.4 million visitors, 73% of them French, with half coming just for the day. The remaining 27% were international visitors, up 14% from last year. It was these day-trippers and foreign fans who made Paris so lively and colorful. Before packing for my Tuesday Eurostar, I stopped by a regular local haunt. Two days before the opening ceremony, I had asked the chef-owner of 750g La Table about the Games. His response was clear: “The Olympic Games? It’s a disaster. My takings are down 35%. Businesses are closing. Tourists don’t visit.” Today, I ask him what he thinks now that the show is over. “Ah, I was wrong!” he says, smiling. “I was wrong. It was amazing, for the city and for my business. Now, as you see, we’re not busy. Sit wherever you like. All we do now is rest and clean.” We shake hands, and I ask him about the future. “Now? I’m going to take a nap,” he says, pretending to sleep and laughing before heading to the back room for a nap. And with that, the spirit of the Games fades, leaving Paris to rest. 4. What is the atmosphere in Paris after the Games are over? A. Exciting and cheerful. B. Quiet and relaxed. C. Empty and lifeless. D. Bustling and busy. 5. How did the number of visitors change in Paris during the Games? A. Visitor numbers were unchanged. B. Visitor numbers significantly dropped. C. Visitor numbers saw a relative increase. D. Visitor numbers remained fairly constant. 6. What does the author’s conversation with the chef-owner imply? A. The chef-owner feared losses initially but later saw benefits. B. The chef-owner saw no impact on his business. C. The chef-owner’s takings are down during the Games. D. The chef-owner regretted participating in the Games. 7. What’s the best title of this passage? A. The Olympic Zombie in Paris B. From Olympic Glory to Parisian Calm C. Olympic business boom in Paris D. The Disappearance of Olympic Visitors C Over a decade ago, the science fiction series Black Mirror showed a story about using artificial intelligence to bring back loved ones. Thanks to technological advancement, the latest AI resurrection technology brings hope of recreating loved ones through virtual form. Recently, it was revealed that renowned musician Tino Bao had created a digital version of his daughter, who in 2021 passed away due to a rare disease at the age of 22. With the help of Xiaoice, Microsoft Asia’s AI branch based in China, Bao was able to recreate his daughter Bao Rong as an AI-powered virtual figure. Tino Bao, his family and the team went to great lengths to piece together pictures, audio-visual recordings, and narrated memories of Rong. After thousands of trials and errors, they presented the life-like digital human who speaks in both Mandarin and English. Bao has finally launched a company to bring the technological miracle to other families experiencing such loss. However, this technological achievement has also been accompanied by many controversies. The idea of bringing back a loved one through AI may seem comforting. Still, researchers caution that constantly interacting with an AI version of a deceased loved one could potentially affect the natural grieving (悲伤) process, leaving individuals stuck in a state of denial. This could lead to prolonged grief and other mental health issues. Furthermore, there’s a risk that people may become overly dependent on the technology, prioritizing their interactions with the AI version over forming new, real-life relationships. With the case of Bao Rong out in the open, AI resurrection has become a business. From simple “talking pictures” that sound nothing like the loved ones to deepfake videos of actors speaking with the faces of those who passed away, the lower end of the market is more “artificial” than “intelligent”. Therefore, it is crucial to establish proper regulations and ethical standards to ensure that the use of AI-resurrection technology is safe and responsible. 8. What does the underlined word “resurrection” in para.1 most likely mean? A. The act of bringing something back to life or existence. B. The process of improving AI technology. C. The development of new virtual forms. D. The combination of memories and technology. 9. What is a possible consequence of constantly interacting with an AI version of a deceased loved one? A. It may cause people to forget the real memories of the loved one. B. It may prevent people from using other AI technologies. C. It may prolong the natural grieving process and cause mental health problems. D. It may lead to the decline of the AI industry. 10. Which of the following statements about the future of AI resurrection technology is correct? A. It will eventually replace traditional ways of memorizing loved ones. B. It needs proper regulations and ethical standards to ensure safe and responsible use. C. It will be completely banned due to ethical concerns. D. It will develop healthily without proper regulations. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The introduction of the science fiction series Black Mirror. B The process of creating an AI version of a loved one. C. The benefits and controversies of using AI to recreate loved ones. D. The development of AI technology in the field of music. D It’s always supposed that one is either a “cat person” or a “dog person”. Dogs, the assumption goes, are loyal, affectionate, and fun; cats, as Mrs Beeton suggested in 1862, are “selfish, cruel, greedy, and without a bit of affection”. But what does it reveal about someone who prefers the company of cats? This interesting question is at the heart of Kathryn Hughes’s Catland, where she explores the cultural significance of cats throughout history. Hughes traces the history of the cat in culture and society, focusing on its journey from pest to pet in the mid-19th-century. She also explores the anthropomorphic (拟人的) world of “cat art” created by the 19th-century artist Louis Wain. The famous novelist H. G. Wells once credited Wain with “inventing a cat style, a cat society, and a whole cat world.” In Wain’s comic-like pictures, cats adopt human form, wear clothes, drive cars, and parent naughty baby cats. Standing on their back legs with huge, expressive eyes, Wain’s cat subjects often reflect their view, offering a unique social observation on the period. In addition to Wain’s contributions, Hughes explores the broader 19th-century interest in cats. She suggests that the mystery surrounding cats could easily lead to misunderstandings between humans and these animals, potentially explaining the origins of ailments (疾病) like ailurophobia (the fear of cats). The book also highlights the influence of cats on famous figures of the time. For example, while Hardy is buried at Westminster Abbey, his heart is famously transported and buried with his beloved cat in a graveyard in Dorset, having been transported there in a biscuit tin. Returning to Louis Wain, his later years took a darker turn. Declared mentally ill and committed to a mental hospital, Wain continued to create art, but his cats took on a dream-like, colorful character, far removed from the naughty baby cats of his earlier work. 12. What assumptions are made about “cat people” and “dog people”? A. Dog people are intelligent, while cat people are untrustworthy. B. Dog people are independent, while cat people are affectionate. C. Dog people are faithful, while cat people are self-centered. D. Dog people are shy, while cat people are outgoing. 13. What can we learn from the third paragraph? A. People like cats because they are mystical creatures. B. Hughes is more interested in cats than Wain. C. The mystery of cats results from people’s misunderstanding. D. Misunderstandings of cat behavior may lead to fear. 14. Why does the author mention Thomas Hardy in paragraph 4? A. To illustrate the influence of cats on famous figures. B. To show the popularity of cats among famous people. C. To prove that Hardy was a “cat person”. D. To discuss the burial traditions of famous people. 15. What’s the difference between Wain’s later work and his earlier ones? A. Later work described cats in natural settings. B. Earlier work focused more on cats instead of dogs. C. Later work turned more serious and darker. D. Later work is more dream-like and striking. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 Research has shown that spending more time outside is key to the nation’s well-being.

It was the time when the annual Harvest Festival took place, a tradition that brought the community together to celebrate the reward of the season. This year, the festival was more significant than ever. It marked the 100th anniversary, and the whole town was buzzing with excitement. Preparations were underway for weeks, with local businesses and residents decorating the streets and setting up stalls for the grand event. Among them was the Johnson family, who had been running the town’s oldest apple orchard (果园) for generations. Emma Johnson, a high school senior, was particularly excited about the festival. She had volunteered to help her family set up their apple-themed stall, where they would sell freshly baked apple pies, apple cider, and other delicacies. Emma had always been passionate about her family’s orchard and the festival that showcased their hard work. On the morning of the festival, the town square was a sea of activity. Families and friends gathered, laughter and music filled the air, and the delicious smell of various foods wafted through the crisp autumn breeze. Emma, wearing a red checkered apron, was busy at the Johnson family stall, serving customers and sharing stories about the history of their orchard. As the day progressed, a friendly competition caught everyone’s attention. The town’s mayor announced a new event for the centennial celebration: a pie-baking contest. The winner would not only receive a cash prize but also the honor of having their pie featured at next year’s festival.

The National Police would show up around the same time, with soldiers pacing outside the venue entrances. Cafes did a roaring trade, catering to a steady stream of handball and volleyball fans, dressed in national colors, covered in flags, singing songs. After the Games, a different atmosphere settles in. This is Monday, Day +1 of the Games, the morning after the closing ceremony. The loudspeaker has fallen silent. The 7 am police officer procession is now a workers’ lorry, with workers in bright orange vests tidying away barriers. The roadblocks are gone. The cable car stop has reopened. Is this normal life in south-west Paris? The Games decoration still covers every public space, the flags wave, but the Olympic visitors have disappeared. Forget 28 Days Later — this is 28 Hours Later, and I am an Olympic zombie. During the Games, Paris welcomed 2.4 million visitors, 73% of them French, with half coming just for the day. The remaining 27% were international visitors, up 14% from last year. It was these day-trippers and foreign fans who made Paris so lively and colorful. Before packing for my Tuesday Eurostar, I stopped by a regular local haunt. Two days before the opening ceremony, I had asked the chef-owner of 750g La Table about the Games. His response was clear: “The Olympic Games? It’s a disaster. My takings are down 35%. Businesses are closing. Tourists don’t visit.” Today, I ask him what he thinks now that the show is over. “Ah, I was wrong!” he says, smiling. “I was wrong. It was amazing, for the city and for my business. Now, as you see, we’re not busy. Sit wherever you like. All we do now is rest and clean.” We shake hands, and I ask him about the future. “Now? I’m going to take a nap,” he says, pretending to sleep and laughing before heading to the back room for a nap. And with that, the spirit of the Games fades, leaving Paris to rest. 4. What is the atmosphere in Paris after the Games are over? A. Exciting and cheerful. B. Quiet and relaxed. C. Empty and lifeless. D. Bustling and busy. 5. How did the number of visitors change in Paris during the Games? A. Visitor numbers were unchanged. B. Visitor numbers significantly dropped. C. Visitor numbers saw a relative increase. D. Visitor numbers remained fairly constant. 6. What does the author’s conversation with the chef-owner imply? A. The chef-owner feared losses initially but later saw benefits. B. The chef-owner saw no impact on his business. C. The chef-owner’s takings are down during the Games. D. The chef-owner regretted participating in the Games. 7. What’s the best title of this passage? A. The Olympic Zombie in Paris B. From Olympic Glory to Parisian Calm C. Olympic business boom in Paris D. The Disappearance of Olympic Visitors 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章作者描述了奥运会结束后巴黎的氛围变化以及对当地商家的影响。文章通过场景描写和人物对话，展示了奥运会对巴黎日常生活和商家的不同影响。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文中第一段中“The loudspeaker has fallen silent. The roadblocks are gone. The cable car stop has reopened.(扩音器安静了。路障消失了。缆车站已重新开放)”和最后一段“Now, as you see, we’re not busy. Sit wherever you like.(现在，如你所见，我们不忙)”可知，奥运会结束后，巴黎变得更加安静和放松。相比于赛事期间的繁忙，作者强调了城市的平静和商家的闲暇。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“During the Games, Paris welcomed 2.4 million visitors, 73% of them French, with half coming just for the day. The remaining 27% were international visitors, up 14% from last year.(在奥运会期间，巴黎共接待了240万游客，其中73%是法国人，其中一半只来了一天。剩下的27%是国际游客，比去年增长了14%)”可知，奥运会期间，巴黎的游客数量有所增加。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文中第三段中“His response was clear: “The Olympic Games? It’s a disaster. My takings are down 35%. Businesses are closing. Tourists don’t visit.” Today, I ask him what he thinks now that the show is over. “Ah, I was wrong!” he says, smiling. “I was wrong. It was It was amazing, for the city and for my business.”(他的回答很明确：“奥运会?这是一场灾难。我的收入下降了35%。企业纷纷关门。游客不会来参观。”今天，我问他在节目结束后有何感想。“啊，我错了！”他笑着说。“我错了。对这座城市和我的生意来说，这真是太棒了。”)”可知，虽然最初他认为奥运会会对生意产生负面影响，但后来发现实际情况相反，生意得到了很大的提升。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段文中描述的巴黎在奥运会后的氛围改变，以及第二段奥运游客数量变化和最后一段作者和商家对话中奥运会前后对商家的影响，本篇文章是关于在奥运会结束后28小时后巴黎的变化，从热闹繁忙回归平静。由此可知，文章最好的标题是“从奥林匹克的荣耀到巴黎的平静”。故选B项。 C Over a decade ago, the science fiction series Black Mirror showed a story about using artificial intelligence to bring back loved ones. Thanks to technological advancement, the latest AI resurrection technology brings hope of recreating loved ones through virtual form. Recently, it was revealed that renowned musician Tino Bao had created a digital version of his daughter, who in 2021 passed away due to a rare disease at the age of 22. With the help of Xiaoice, Microsoft Asia’s AI branch based in China, Bao was able to recreate his daughter Bao Rong as an AI-powered virtual figure. Tino Bao, his family and the team went to great lengths to piece together pictures, audio-visual recordings, and narrated memories of Rong. After thousands of trials and errors, they presented the life-like digital human who speaks in both Mandarin and English. Bao has finally launched a company to bring the technological miracle to other families experiencing such loss. However, this technological achievement has also been accompanied by many controversies. The idea of bringing back a loved one through AI may seem comforting. Still, researchers caution that constantly interacting with an AI version of a deceased loved one could potentially affect the natural grieving (悲伤) process, leaving individuals stuck in a state of denial. This could lead to prolonged grief and other mental health issues. Furthermore, there’s a risk that people may become overly dependent on the technology, prioritizing their interactions with the AI version over forming new, real-life relationships. With the case of Bao Rong out in the open, AI resurrection has become a business. From simple “talking pictures” that sound nothing like the loved ones to deepfake videos of actors speaking with the faces of those who passed away, the lower end of the market is more “artificial” than “intelligent”. Therefore, it is crucial to establish proper regulations and ethical standards to ensure that the use of AI-resurrection technology is safe and responsible. 8. What does the underlined word “resurrection” in para.1 most likely mean? A. The act of bringing something back to life or existence. B The process of improving AI technology. C. The development of new virtual forms. D. The combination of memories and technology. 9. What is a possible consequence of constantly interacting with an AI version of a deceased loved one? A. It may cause people to forget the real memories of the loved one. B. It may prevent people from using other AI technologies. C. It may prolong the natural grieving process and cause mental health problems. D. It may lead to the decline of the AI industry. 10. Which of the following statements about the future of AI resurrection technology is correct? A. It will eventually replace traditional ways of memorizing loved ones. B. It needs proper regulations and ethical standards to ensure safe and responsible use. C. It will be completely banned due to ethical concerns. D. It will develop healthily without proper regulations. 11 What is the main idea of the passage? A. The introduction of the science fiction series Black Mirror. B. The process of creating an AI version of a loved one. C. The benefits and controversies of using AI to recreate loved ones. D. The development of AI technology in the field of music. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲的是近年来，随着社会的不断发展，一种新的应用逐渐兴起：通过人工智能技术来“复活”逝去的亲人。然而，这项技术在带给人们慰藉的同时，也引发了诸多争议，其中不乏道德与法律问题。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段中“bring back loved ones(把爱的人带回来)”和第二段“Recently, it was revealed that renowned musician Tino Bao had created a digital version of his daughter, who in 2021 passed away(最近，有消息称，著名音乐家Tino Bao为他于2021年去世的女儿制作了一个数字版本)”可知，此处是在讲通过AI让逝去的亲人以某种形式“复活”，所以“resurrection”在这里指让事物复活或重新存在的行为，即The act of bringing something back to life or existence。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Still, researchers caution that constantly interacting with an AI version of a deceased loved one could potentially affect the natural grieving (悲伤) process, leaving individuals stuck in a state of denial. This could lead to prolonged grief and other mental health issues.(尽管如此，研究人员警告说，不断与已故亲人的人工智能版本互动可能会影响自然的悲伤过程，使个人陷入否认状态。这可能会导致长期的悲伤和其他心理健康问题。)”可知，不断与已故亲人的人工智能版本互动可能会延长自然悲伤的过程，并导致心理健康问题。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Therefore, it is crucial to establish proper regulations and ethical standards to ensure that the use of AI-resurrection technology is safe and responsible.(因此，建立适当的法规和道德标准，以确保人工智能复活技术的使用是安全和负责任的，这一点至关重要)”可知，AI复活技术需要适当的法规和道德标准来确保安全和负责任的使用，B选项的表述正确。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Thanks to technological advancement, the latest AI resurrection technology brings hope of recreating loved ones through virtual form.(由于技术的进步，最新的人工智能复活技术带来了通过虚拟形式重新创造亲人的希望)”和第三段“However, this technological achievement has also been accompanied by many controversies.(然而，这一技术成就也伴随着许多争议)”可知，本文主要讲的是近年来，随着社会的不断发展，一种新的应用逐渐兴起：通过人工智能技术来“复活”逝去的亲人。然而，这项技术在带给人们慰藉的同时，也引发了诸多争议，因此本文的主旨是C选项“The benefits and controversies of using AI to recreate loved ones.(使用人工智能重塑亲人的好处和争议)”。故选C。 D It’s always supposed that one is either a “cat person” or a “dog person”. Dogs, the assumption goes, are loyal, affectionate, and fun; cats, as Mrs Beeton suggested in 1862, are “selfish, cruel, greedy, and without a bit of affection”. But what does it reveal about someone who prefers the company of cats? This interesting question is at the heart of Kathryn Hughes’s Catland, where she explores the cultural significance of cats throughout history. Hughes traces the history of the cat in culture and society, focusing on its journey from pest to pet in the mid-19th-century. She also explores the anthropomorphic (拟人的) world of “cat art” created by the 19th-century artist Louis Wain. The famous novelist H. G. Wells once credited Wain with “inventing a cat style, a cat society, and a whole cat world.” In Wain’s comic-like pictures, cats adopt human form, wear clothes, drive cars, and parent naughty baby cats. Standing on their back legs with huge, expressive eyes, Wain’s cat subjects often reflect their view, offering a unique social observation on the period. In addition to Wain’s contributions, Hughes explores the broader 19th-century interest in cats. She suggests that the mystery surrounding cats could easily lead to misunderstandings between humans and these animals, potentially explaining the origins of ailments (疾病) like ailurophobia (the fear of cats). The book also highlights the influence of cats on famous figures of the time. For example, while Hardy is buried at Westminster Abbey, his heart is famously transported and buried with his beloved cat in a graveyard in Dorset, having been transported there in a biscuit tin. Returning to Louis Wain, his later years took a darker turn. Declared mentally ill and committed to a mental hospital, Wain continued to create art, but his cats took on a dream-like, colorful character, far removed from the naughty baby cats of his earlier work. 12. What assumptions are made about “cat people” and “dog people”? A. Dog people are intelligent, while cat people are untrustworthy. B. Dog people are independent, while cat people are affectionate. C. Dog people are faithful, while cat people are self-centered. D. Dog people are shy, while cat people are outgoing. 13. What can we learn from the third paragraph? A. People like cats because they are mystical creatures. B. Hughes is more interested in cats than Wain. C. The mystery of cats results from people’s misunderstanding. D. Misunderstandings of cat behavior may lead to fear. 14. Why does the author mention Thomas Hardy in paragraph 4? A. To illustrate the influence of cats on famous figures. B. To show the popularity of cats among famous people. C. To prove that Hardy was a “cat person”. D. To discuss the burial traditions of famous people. 15. What’s the difference between Wain’s later work and his earlier ones? A. Later work described cats in natural settings. B. Earlier work focused more on cats instead of dogs. C. Later work turned more serious and darker. D. Later work is more dream-like and striking. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章探讨了人们对“猫派”和“狗派”的假设，并通过Kathryn Hughes的《Catland》一书，阐述了猫在文化和历史中的重要性，以及Louis Wain等艺术家如何通过作品展示了猫的独特文化影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Dogs, the assumption goes, are loyal, affectionate, and fun; cats, as Mrs Beeton suggested in 1862, are “selfish, cruel, greedy, and without a bit of affection”.(人们想当然地认为，狗是忠诚、深情、有趣的；正如Beeton夫人在1862年所说，猫“自私、残忍、贪婪，没有一点感情”。)”可知，狗被认为是忠诚、有爱心且有趣的，而猫被认为是自私的。选项C与原文信息一致，故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“She suggests that the mystery surrounding cats could easily lead to misunderstandings between humans and these animals, potentially explaining the origins of ailments (疾病) like ailurophobia (the fear of cats).(她认为，围绕猫的神秘面纱很容易导致人类和这些动物之间的误解，这可能解释了猫恐惧症（害怕猫）等疾病的起源。)”可知，Hughes认为人类对猫的迷恋可能是由于对它们行为的误解，进而导致恐惧。选项D符合这一点，故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“The book also highlights the influence of cats on famous figures of the time.(这本书还强调了猫对当时著名人物的影响。)”可知，作者通过提及像Thomas Hardy这样的著名人物与猫的联系，进一步丰富了关于猫在历史文化中的影响力的阐述，是为了强调猫对名人的影响。选项A正确，故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Wain continued to create art, but his cats took on a dream-like, colorful character, far removed from the naughty baby cats of his earlier work.(Wain继续创作艺术，但他的猫呈现出梦幻般的色彩，与他早期作品中淘气的小猫相去甚远。)”可知，Wain的后期作品变得更加梦幻和引人注目。选项D正确，故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 Research has shown that spending more time outside is key to the nation’s well-being.

They turn to a long list of new words, repeatedly copying down new words, scratching heads. So we class had a hot discussion on the problem.

The leaves on the trees turned into a palette of gold and red, and the air carried the sweet scent of ripe apples. It was the time when the annual Harvest Festival took place, a tradition that brought the community together to celebrate the reward of the season. This year, the festival was more significant than ever. It marked the 100th anniversary, and the whole town was buzzing with excitement. Preparations were underway for weeks, with local businesses and residents decorating the streets and setting up stalls for the grand event. Among them was the Johnson family, who had been running the town’s oldest apple orchard (果园) for generations. Emma Johnson, a high school senior, was particularly excited about the festival. She had volunteered to help her family set up their apple-themed stall, where they would sell freshly baked apple pies, apple cider, and other delicacies. Emma had always been passionate about her family’s orchard and the festival that showcased their hard work. On the morning of the festival, the town square was a sea of activity. Families and friends gathered, laughter and music filled the air, and the delicious smell of various foods wafted through the crisp autumn breeze. Emma, wearing a red checkered apron, was busy at the Johnson family stall, serving customers and sharing stories about the history of their orchard. As the day progressed, a friendly competition caught everyone’s attention. The town’s mayor announced a new event for the centennial celebration: a pie-baking contest. The winner would not only receive a cash prize but also the honor of having their pie featured at next year’s festival. Emma’s eyes sparkled with determination as she decided to enter the contest, hoping to bring pride to her family and the town. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: “I need my family recipe,” Emma thought, her heart racing. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The judges walked over to Emma’s pie looking serious. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible version: Paragraph 1: “I need my family recipe,” Emma thought, her heart racing. She sprinted to her grandmother’s kitchen, where the old cookbooks were kept. Her hands flew through the pages until she found it—the secret family recipe. With a quick nod to her grandmother, she mixed together the ingredients, her movements a dance of practiced skill. The apples were carefully chosen, the spices measured to perfection. As she placed the pie in the oven, the scent of the mixed ingredients filled the air, promising a taste of autumn’s finest. Paragraph 2: The judges walked over to Emma’s pie, looking serious. When they took the first bite, they seemed to really enjoy it— the pie was just right, not too hard or soft, and the apples in it tasted both sweet and a little bit sour. Everyone got quiet as they waited for the judges to say who won. They announced, “Emma Johnson, for her ‘Legacy of the Orchard’ pie.” People clapped and cheered, and Emma’s face lit up with pride and joy, knowing she had not only won the contest but also secured a place in Willow Creek’s history. The town celebrated her victory as a symbol of their shared heritage, and Emma knew that this day would be remembered for generations to come. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在小镇Willow Creek，一年一度的丰收节（Harvest Festival）迎来了它的100周年纪念。整个小镇都沉浸在庆祝的氛围中，居民们和当地商家忙着装饰街道、搭建摊位。约翰逊家族作为镇上最古老苹果果园的主人，也积极参与其中。高中生Emma Johnson对家族果园和丰收节充满热情，她不仅帮忙搭建家族的苹果主题摊位，还在丰收节当天忙着招待顾客、讲述果园的历史。此外，当天还举行了一场友好的馅饼烘焙比赛，埃玛决定参加比赛，希望能为家族和小镇赢得荣誉。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““我需要我的家传秘方，”艾玛想，她的心跳加速。”可知，第一段可描写Emma制作家族秘方馅饼的准备工作。 ②由第二段首句内容“评委们走向艾玛的派，表情严肃。”可知，第二段可描写Emma赢得馅饼烘焙比赛的过程和结果。 2. 续写线索：找到秘方——混合配料——放进烤箱——评委尝馅饼——宣布结果——人们的反应 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①混合：mix/blend ②宣布：announce/declare ③鼓掌：clap/applaud 情绪类 ①自豪：pride/conceit ②高兴：joy/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1] She sprinted to her grandmother’s kitchen, where the old cookbooks were kept.
