When I was in school, I absolutely looked down upon art. As a child growing up in northern Wales, I never scored higher than an E in my art finals. However, I wasn’t too shocked because I didn’t see myself pursuing it as a profession.
From a very young age, around four, I had this habit of sleepwalking. During the night, I’d wander under the stairs and draw aimlessly on the walls. By the time I turned 15, my drawings had evolved. I was sketching everything from portraits of Marilyn Monroe to odd, unrealistic paintings. I showed some of my work to my art teachers, who asked, “Why can’t you create like this during class?” It was a mystery to me too. I tried my hardest to draw when I was awake, practicing with the same tools. But no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t reproduce the drawings I made while asleep.
After finishing school, I embarked on a career in nursing, where I mainly helped people with brain injuries. Along the way, I met my partner, who is incredibly supportive of my artistic pursuits and sleepwalking habits. He often films me as I work. Whenever I start painting in my sleep, I use whatever tools I can find, sometimes even knives and forks. This is the only thing that concerns my partner — the fear that I might accidentally hurt myself. I’ve visited numerous sleep clinics to find out what’s causing this, but my health seems perfectly fine. However, alcohol or lack of sleep does seem to trigger my sleepwalking, so I’m cautious about that.
I’ve come to embrace my unique talent and organized my first art exhibition in 2007 at the local library, raising money for cancer research. Within just a week, I received 160 calls from various media outlets and organizations wanting to learn more about my art. I was thrilled. That’s when I decided to leave my fulfilling job in nursing and pursue a full-time career as an artist.
4. Why wasn’t the author upset about her art final exams?
A. She was unwilling to work in art field. B. She was confident in herself.
C. She had very little interest in her study. D. She had got used to her E in art.
5. What did art teachers think of the author’s sleepwalking paintings?
A. They felt worried about them. B. They were indifferent about them.
C. They showed confidence about them. D. They expressed much doubt about them.
6. Why did the author’s partner sometimes film him while he was sleepwalking?
A. To support the author’s artistic habits. B. To capture the author’s sleepwalking.
C. To show his worry about his safety. D. To show sleepwalking was enteraining.
7. What was the turning point that made the author decide to become a full-time artist?
A. Organizing a donation event.
B. Receiving support from his partner.
C. Finding out the cause of his sleepwalking.
D. Receiving calls from media outlets and organizations.
C
Is modern fruit cultivated (培育) to be sweeter than in the past? The short answer is yes, though the longer answer is more complicated. Some of the most powerful evidence that fruit is sweeter than before comes from zoos.
In 2018, it was reported that Melboume Zoo in Australia had stopped giving fruit to most of its animals because cultivated fruit was now so sweet that it was causing tooth decay (蛀牙) and weight gain. The monkeys at the zoo were provided with a lower-sugar vegetable-based diet instead of bananas.
Among fruit cultivators, the word “quality” is now routinely used as an equal for “high in sugar” (though firmness, color and size are also considerations). In 2010, in an article looking at ways to enhance the sweetness of fruit using “molecuiar (分子的) approaches”, a group of plant scientists of the Republic of Korea wrote that “in general, the sugar content” of many fruits is now higher than before “owing to continuous selection and breeding”. Modern apple varieties, the scientists noted, were on average sweeter than older ones.
Cultivation isn’t the only reason that modern fruit is sweeter; there’s also climate change. Research from Japan found that since the 1970s, with rising temperatures, Fuji apples (which were already a sweet variety) have become significantly sweeter and softer. The lead researcher, Toshihoko Sugiura, said that “if you could taste an apple harvested 30 years ago, you would feel the difference”.
It is sometimes claimed that the sweetness of modern fruit is not due to higher sugar content so much as the fact that the bitterness and sourness of wild fruit have been steadily cultivated out of it. There’s a grain — but only a grain — of truth in this. Studies of wild apples do indeed suggest that some ancient varieties were just as high in sugar as a modern Pink Lady or Honeycrisp. The difference is that there was much wider variation in sugar content across wild apples, whereas the modern supermarket apple seldom drops below a certain level of sweetness.
8. Why did Melbourne Zoo stop giving fruit to most of its animals?
A. The animals preferred a vegetable- based diet.
B. Modern fruit did great harm to animals’ teeth.
C. The sugar content of modern fruit is lower than before.
D. The flavor of modern fruit was not good for the animals.
9. What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A. The sugar content is breeders’ first priority.
B. Sweeter fruits are just a result of natural selection.
C. The sweetness of modern apples is equal to the average of older ones.
D. Molecular approaches are adopted to add the sweetness of modern fruit.
10. What do studies of wild apples in the last paragraph suggest?
A. Apples of old species tasted less sweet.
B. The sugar content of wild apples varied greatly.
C. The sweetness of modern apples is of the same level.
D. Fruit is sweet because bitterness in it has disappeared.
11. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. Modern or Old: Which Is Better? B. Modern Fruit: Sweetness Is Quality.
C. Fruit Is Sweeter: It’s Not a Misconception. D. Melbourne Zoo: Animals Stop Eating Fruits.

48. 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。
A couple of years back, when I was still a teenager, I was troubled by frequent headaches that felt like I wanted to bang my head against a hard surface. I was eager to find a way to stop them. If you’ve been through this, I can feel your silent nod; for those who haven’t, let me tell you, it’s truly painful.
I had exhausted all possibilities. Sadly, none provided a lasting relief for my tormenting pain. In my desperation, my dad suggested I try acupuncture (针灸), something he once underwent in Hong Kong. It had relieved his backache when nothing else worked.
I was unfamiliar with acupuncture and hadn’t tried out traditional Chinese medicine before. With my heart set on previous failures, I embarked on this acupuncture journey, ending up in a middle-aged lady’s clinic filled with Chinese herbs.
Once I settled on the patient's chair, she inquired about my reason for visiting. After that, she placed three fingers on my wrist and silently checked my pulse. She then led me to a room and instructed me to lie down. Moments later, she took out needles, which made me anxious because I'm not comfortable with sharp objects.
The initial acupuncture session was a real surprise. To treat my headaches, the needles were first placed on the back of my hand, far from my head. The sensation was unexpected too: as the practitioner gently tapped and turned the needle in, I didn’t feel the needle but a wave spreading through my body. She then continued with more needles all over: my head, face, stomach, legs, arms, and even toes. The entire session lasted just 20 minutes. Following that, she prescribed some herbal tea for me to drink daily for five days.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: As I started acupuncture treatments, I was a bit nervous.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Over time, I noticed a big difference in my headaches.

When I was in school, I absolutely looked down upon art. As a child growing up in northern Wales, I never scored higher than an E in my art finals. However, I wasn’t too shocked because I didn’t see myself pursuing it as a profession.
From a very young age, around four, I had this habit of sleepwalking. During the night, I’d wander under the stairs and draw aimlessly on the walls. By the time I turned 15, my drawings had evolved. I was sketching everything from portraits of Marilyn Monroe to odd, unrealistic paintings. I showed some of my work to my art teachers, who asked, “Why can’t you create like this during class?” It was a mystery to me too. I tried my hardest to draw when I was awake, practicing with the same tools. But no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t reproduce the drawings I made while asleep.
After finishing school, I embarked on a career in nursing, where I mainly helped people with brain injuries. Along the way, I met my partner, who is incredibly supportive of my artistic pursuits and sleepwalking habits. He often films me as I work. Whenever I start painting in my sleep, I use whatever tools I can find, sometimes even knives and forks. This is the only thing that concerns my partner — the fear that I might accidentally hurt myself. I’ve visited numerous sleep clinics to find out what’s causing this, but my health seems perfectly fine. However, alcohol or lack of sleep does seem to trigger my sleepwalking, so I’m cautious about that.
I’ve come to embrace my unique talent and organized my first art exhibition in 2007 at the local library, raising money for cancer research. Within just a week, I received 160 calls from various media outlets and organizations wanting to learn more about my art. I was thrilled. That’s when I decided to leave my fulfilling job in nursing and pursue a full-time career as an artist.

C
Is modern fruit cultivated (培育) to be sweeter than in the past? The short answer is yes, though the longer answer is more complicated. Some of the most powerful evidence that fruit is sweeter than before comes from zoos.
In 2018, it was reported that Melboume Zoo in Australia had stopped giving fruit to most of its animals because cultivated fruit was now so sweet that it was causing tooth decay (蛀牙) and weight gain. The monkeys at the zoo were provided with a lower-sugar vegetable-based diet instead of bananas.
Among fruit cultivators, the word “quality” is now routinely used as an equal for “high in sugar” (though firmness, color and size are also considerations). In 2010, in an article looking at ways to enhance the sweetness of fruit using “molecuiar (分子的) approaches”, a group of plant scientists of the Republic of Korea wrote that “in general, the sugar content” of many fruits is now higher than before “owing to continuous selection and breeding”. Modern apple varieties, the scientists noted, were on average sweeter than older ones.
Cultivation isn’t the only reason that modern fruit is sweeter; there’s also climate change. Research from Japan found that since the 1970s, with rising temperatures, Fuji apples (which were already a sweet variety) have become significantly sweeter and softer. The lead researcher, Toshihoko Sugiura, said that “if you could taste an apple harvested 30 years ago, you would feel the difference”.
It is sometimes claimed that the sweetness of modern fruit is not due to higher sugar content so much as the fact that the bitterness and sourness of wild fruit have been steadily cultivated out of it. There’s a grain — but only a grain — of truth in this. Studies of wild apples do indeed suggest that some ancient varieties were just as high in sugar as a modern Pink Lady or Honeycrisp. The difference is that there was much wider variation in sugar content across wild apples, whereas the modern supermarket apple seldom drops below a certain level of sweetness.
8. Why did Melbourne Zoo stop giving fruit to most of its animals?
A. The animals preferred a vegetable- based diet.
B. Modern fruit did great harm to animals’ teeth.
C. The sugar content of modern fruit is lower than before.
D. The flavor of modern fruit was not good for the animals.
9. What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A. The sugar content is breeders’ first priority.
B. Sweeter fruits are just a result of natural selection.
C. The sweetness of modern apples is equal to the average of older ones.
D. Molecular approaches are adopted to add the sweetness of modern fruit.
10. What do studies of wild apples in the last paragraph suggest?
A. Apples of old species tasted less sweet.
B. The sugar content of wild apples varied greatly.
C. The sweetness of modern apples is of the same level.
D. Fruit is sweet because bitterness in it has disappeared.
11. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. Modern or Old: Which Is Better? B. Modern Fruit: Sweetness Is Quality.
C. Fruit Is Sweeter: It’s Not a Misconception. D. Melbourne Zoo: Animals Stop Eating Fruits.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】文章是说明文。文章主要讲述了现代农业技术使得现代水果比以前更甜。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段的“In 2018, it was reported that Melboume Zoo in Australia had stopped giving fruit to most of its animals because cultivated fruit was now so sweet that it was causing tooth decay(蛀牙) and weight gain.(据报道,2018年,澳大利亚墨尔本动物园已经停止给大多数动物提供水果,因为现在种植的水果太甜了,会导致蛀牙和体重增加。)”可知现代水果对动物的牙齿有很大的危害,因此停止了给动物供应水果。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Among fruit cultivators, the word “quality” is now routinely used as an equal for “high in sugar”(though firmness, color and size are also considerations). In 2010, in an article looking at ways to enhance the sweetness of fruit using “molecuiar(分子的) approaches”, a group of plant scientists of the Republic of Korea wrote that “in general, the sugar content” of many fruits is now higher than before “owing to continuous selection and breeding”. (在水果种植者中,“优质”这个词现在通常被用作“高糖”的同义词(尽管硬度、颜色和大小也要考虑在内)。2010年,韩国的一组植物科学家在一篇文章中探讨了如何利用“分子方法”来提高水果的甜度,他们写道,“总的来说,由于不断的选择和育种”,现在许多水果的“含糖量”比以前要高。)”可知,现代水果的甜度采用分子方法,故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的“The difference is that there was much wider variation in sugar content across wild apples, whereas the modern supermarket apple seldom drops below a certain level of sweetness.(不同之处在于,野生苹果的含糖量变化更大,而现代超市里的苹果很少低于一定的甜度。)” 可知野生苹果的含糖量变化很大,故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段内容“Is modern fruit cultivated(培育) to be sweeter than in the past? The short answer is yes, though the longer answer is more complicated.( 现代种植的水果比过去更甜吗?简短的回答是肯定的,但较长的回答更为复杂)”并通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了现代农业技术使得现代水果比以前更甜。可知C项“水果更甜:这不是一个误解。”为最佳标题,故选C项。

第三节 根据提示翻译句子(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
42. 今天早上他又迟到了,这让他的英语老师很生气。(定语从句) (汉译英)
________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】He was late again this morning, which made his English teacher very angry.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和定语从句。主语为he,表示“又迟到”用be late again,表示“今天早上”用this morning;根据时间状语this morning可知,句子时态是一般过去时,所以be动词用was;表示“生气”用angry,“让某人很生气”可以用make sb. very angry;表示“他的英语老师”用his English teacher;先行词是前面整个句子“He was late again this morning”,在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句。故翻译为He was late again this morning, which made his English teacher very angry.
43. 还需要过些年大多数新住宅才会开始使用这种新技术。(before)(汉译英)
________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】It will take some years before most new homes begin to use this new technology.
【解析】
【详解】考查时间状语从句和时态。“还需要过些年大多数新住宅才会开始使用这种新技术”为包含时间状语从句的复合句,使用before连接时间状语从句,表示“过……时间后才会”;表示“需要过些年”含义的表达为It takes some years,因句子表达的是发生在将来的动作,使用一般将来时,翻译为it will take some years;表示“大多数新住宅”含义的表达为most new homes;表示“开始使用”含义的表达为begin to use,因时间状语从句的谓语动词使用一般现在时表达一般将来时且从句主语为复数,所以该动词使用动词原形;表示“这种新技术”含义的表达为this new technology。故翻译为It will take some years before most new homes begin to use this new technology.
44. 用餐后轻轻用手在胃部转圈表示“我饱了”。(动名词做宾语和表语)(汉译英)
________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】A good way of saying “I am full” is moving your hand in circles over your stomach after a meal.
【解析】
【详解】考查短语、时态和非谓语动词。“用餐后”翻译为after a meal;“表示”意译为a good way of saying,表示 “…… 的一种好方式”,其中saying是动名词作of的宾语;“轻轻用手在胃部转圈”翻译为move your hand in circles over your stomach,是动名词短语作表语,说明主语a good way的具体内容,陈述客观事实,用一般现在时,句首单词首字母需大写。故翻译为A good way of saying “I am full” is moving your hand in circles over your stomach after a meal.
45. 袁隆平让人印象最深刻的是他不断实现梦想的能力。(运用主语从句)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】What impresses people most about Yuan Longping is his ongoing ability to fulfill his dreams.
【解析】
【详解】考查主语从句和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,句子是主系表结构,句子描述一般性事实,应用一般现在时;“袁隆平让人印象最深刻的”是主语,翻译为主语从句“What impresses people most about Yuan Longping ”,what在主语从句中充当主语成分,谓语动词用单数;“他不断实现梦想的能力”为表语, 翻译为“his ongoing ability to fulfill his dreams”,其中不定式作后置定语修饰抽象名词ability;因主语从句作做主语,谓语动词用单数形式,所以主句谓语动词用is;综上,故翻译为What impresses people most about Yuan Longping is his ongoing ability to fulfill his dreams.
46. 预测未来的最好方式就是创造未来。(动词不定式作定语和表语)(汉译英)
________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The best way to predict the future is to create it.
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句子是描述一个事实,使用一般现在时,表示“做某事的最好方式”短语为The best way do sth.,不定式作后置定语;表示“预测未来”为predict the future;表示“创造”应用动词create,说明主语的内容用不定式作表语。故翻译为The best way to predict the future is to create it.

第二节(满分25分)
48. 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。
A couple of years back, when I was still a teenager, I was troubled by frequent headaches that felt like I wanted to bang my head against a hard surface. I was eager to find a way to stop them. If you’ve been through this, I can feel your silent nod; for those who haven’t, let me tell you, it’s truly painful.
I had exhausted all possibilities. Sadly, none provided a lasting relief for my tormenting pain. In my desperation, my dad suggested I try acupuncture (针灸), something he once underwent in Hong Kong. It had relieved his backache when nothing else worked.
I was unfamiliar with acupuncture and hadn’t tried out traditional Chinese medicine before. With my heart set on previous failures, I embarked on this acupuncture journey, ending up in a middle-aged lady’s clinic filled with Chinese herbs.
Once I settled on the patient's chair, she inquired about my reason for visiting. After that, she placed three fingers on my wrist and silently checked my pulse. She then led me to a room and instructed me to lie down. Moments later, she took out needles, which made me anxious because I'm not comfortable with sharp objects.
The initial acupuncture session was a real surprise. To treat my headaches, the needles were first placed on the back of my hand, far from my head. The sensation was unexpected too: as the practitioner gently tapped and turned the needle in, I didn’t feel the needle but a wave spreading through my body. She then continued with more needles all over: my head, face, stomach, legs, arms, and even toes. The entire session lasted just 20 minutes. Following that, she prescribed some herbal tea for me to drink daily for five days.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: As I started acupuncture treatments, I was a bit nervous.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Over time, I noticed a big difference in my headaches.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】As I started acupuncture treatments, I was a bit nervous. Every time I lay on that chair, I couldn't help but tense up, imagining the discomfort. But as the sessions went on, I gradually relaxed. The middle-aged lady was always gentle and reassuring. She would explain each step and tell me about the benefits. With her kind words and professional manner, I began to have faith in the treatment.
Over time, I noticed a big difference in my headaches. They became less frequent and the intensity reduced. I no longer felt that urge to bang my head. The herbal tea she prescribed also seemed to have a positive effect. I felt more energetic and my overall well-being improved. I was grateful to my dad for suggesting acupuncture and to the lady for her expertise. It was a wonderful experience that changed my perspective on traditional Chinese medicine. I realized that sometimes, ancient wisdom holds solutions that modern medicine might overlook.
