三、阅读理解(每篇10分,共 20分)
(一)
Chinese hit video game Black Myth: Wukong has taken the gaming world by storm, selling more than 10 million copies across all platforms in just three days after its release.
The game is inspired by the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West. In it, players take the role of the Destined One, setting off for adventures to collect six Relics that once belonged to Sun Wukong and challenge the Celestial Court.
Drawing on a rich heritage of nearly 1,000 years of Chinese culture, the game’s storyline and characters have proven difficult to understand for many players from western countries. For instance, a player shared on social media that their lack of familiarity with Journey to the West led to them consistently missing hidden treasures, finally resulting in repeated failures during a boss fight in Chapter 2. Meanwhile, some players feel overwhelmed by names like Erlang Shen and Lingxuzi, which can be difficult to pronounce for those unfamiliar with Chinese phonetics.
To bridge these cultural divides, one enthusiast wrote a 200-page outline detailing Sun Wukong’s abilities across all 100 chapters of Journey to the West. Many others immersed themselves in the epic by checking out forums, TV shows, anime, manga and online encyclopedias.
Through this process, western players have not only refined their gaming skills but also developed a deeper appreciation for Sun Wukong and Journey to the West.
“Although many people might compare Sun Wukong to Western superheroes, I believe they are different,” said Patrick from the US. “Sun Wukong has a carefree and independent nature, unlimited by the need to set a good example for others like Spider-Man, who by contrast follows principles like ‘with great power comes great responsibility’.”
Journey to the West offers a comprehensive narrative that covers a very dangerous journey, numerous encounters and the exploration of various cultures, making it a rich source for diverse storytelling types and cultural backgrounds.
Perhaps these are some of the key reasons why Journey to the West has been translated into over a dozen languages, with more than 60 versions available worldwide.
31.What is the Destined One in Paragraph 2?
A.The nickname of Sun Wukong in the game.
B.The fictional main character of this hit game.
C.One of the adventures to collect the six Relics.
D.One of the six Relics belonging to the Celestial Court.
32.What does the underlined word “bridge” in paragraph 4 most likely mean?
A.Get rid of. B.Take control of. C.Keep track of D.Take advantage of.
33.What can be learned about the game from the passage?
A.It has gradually gained popularity among players worldwide.
B.Its original character Sun Wukong is similar to western superheroes.
C.It has been translated into many languages with numerous versions available worldwide.
D.It is rather challenging for western players due to their unfamiliarity with Chinese culture.
34.What does the text mainly talk about?
A.A Chinese hit video game and its original novel Journey to the West.
B.Reasons behind the success of Chinese video game Black Myth: Wukong.
C.The cultural impact and western players’ reception of a Chinese hit video game.
D.Challenges and benefits Black Myth: Wukong brings to the spread of Chinese culture.
【答案】31.B 32.A 33.D 34.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国热门电子游戏《黑色神话:悟空》的文化影响以及西方玩家对这款游戏的接受程度。
31.细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“In it, players take the role of the Destined One, setting off for adventures to collect six Relics that once belonged to Sun Wukong and challenge the Celestial Court.(在这款游戏中,玩家将扮演“命中注定的人”,开始收集孙悟空的六件遗物,并向天庭发起挑战。)”可知,Destined One指的是游戏中玩家所扮演的角色。故选B项。
32.词句猜测题。根据第三段的内容“Drawing on a rich heritage of nearly 1,000 years of Chinese culture, the game’s storyline and characters have proven difficult to understand for many players from western countries. For instance, a player shared on social media that their lack of familiarity with Journey to the West led to them consistently missing hidden treasures, finally resulting in repeated failures during a boss fight in Chapter 2. Meanwhile, some players feel overwhelmed by names like Erlang Shen and Lingxuzi, which can be difficult to pronounce for those unfamiliar with Chinese phonetics.(这款游戏拥有近千年的中国文化遗产,但它的故事情节和角色对许多西方国家的玩家来说很难理解。例如,一名玩家在社交媒体上分享说,他们对《西游记》的不熟悉导致他们不断丢失隐藏的宝藏,最终导致他们在第二章的boss战中反复失败。与此同时,一些玩家对“二郎神”和“灵须子”这样的名字感到不知所措,对于不熟悉汉语语音的人来说,这些名字很难发音。)”可知,划线单词后面的these cultural divides指的是由于对中国文化的不熟悉导致西方玩家对故事情节和角色难理解;再由划线单词后面的“these cultural divides, one enthusiast wrote a 200-page outline detailing Sun Wukong’s abilities across all 100 chapters of Journey to the West”可知,一位爱好者写了一份200页的大纲,详细介绍了孙悟空在《西游记》中所有100章的能力,肯定是为了弥合第三段提到的文化差异,所以划线单词bridge的意义为“弥合,消除”,与get rid of意义一致。故选A项。
33.推理判断题。根据第三段的内容“Drawing on a rich heritage of nearly 1,000 years of Chinese culture, the game’s storyline and characters have proven difficult to understand for many players from western countries. For instance, a player shared on social media that their lack of familiarity with Journey to the West led to them consistently missing hidden treasures, finally resulting in repeated failures during a boss fight in Chapter 2.

34.主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了中国热门电子游戏《黑色神话:悟空》的文化影响以及西方玩家对这款游戏的接受程度。故选C项。
(二)
The Mogao Caves of Dunhuang, a treasure house of art of China, has been spanning over 1,000 years. The art inside here covers more than ten major genres, such as architecture, stucco sculpture, wall paintings, silk paintings, calligraphy woodblock printing, embroidery, literature, music and dance, and popular entertainment. But all these only existed because of one man’s vision.
In 366 A.D., a monk named Le Zun looked across the river at dawn and saw a thousand Buddhas appear on the golden cliff face of Mingsha mountain along the old Silk Road. The caves were then built by monks and mostly sponsored by people such as wealthy merchants, foreign dignitaries, as well as Chinese emperors.
But when trade in the Silk Road stopped, Dunhuang was soon forgotten and eventually, the Mogao caves were abandoned. The site however was still used as a place of worship by the local people of the 20th century when there was renewed awareness in its presence once mere.
Most of the discoveries came from a Chinese Taoist monk named Wang Yuanlu who appointed himself as the guardian. The caves at that time were badly ignored, but Monk Wang recognized their value and instituted a program of restoration, funded by whatever donations he could gather.
He then made one of the great discoveries in Chinese archaeology (考古学): an amazing cache, of over 50,000 documents and paintings, which had been hidden in Mogao Cave #17. The cave #17 came to be known as the Library Cave, which was walled up sometime early in the11th century. A number of theories have been proposed as the reason for sealing the cave. One theory was that the cave had become a waste storeroom for precious, damaged and used documents and holy equipment and then sealed perhaps when the place came under threat. Another suggestion is that the cave was simply used as a book storehouse for documents which accumulated over a century and a half, then sealed up when it became full. Others suggested that the monks hurriedly hid the documents in advance of an attack by invaders.
35.What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.The legend of Mogao Caves. B.The end of the old Silk Road.
C.The discovery of Mogao Caves. D.The development of the Silk Road.
36.What did Wang Yuanlu do to restore the caves?
A.He evaluated their value. B.He raised donations in different ways.
C.He sent guards to protect them. D.He persuaded government to do repairs.
37.What does the text come from?
A.Traditional culture. B.history book. C.biography. D.science fiction.
38.Why is Mogao Cave #17 considered a great discovery?
A.It used to be a library for monks. B.It stored valuable historical materials.
C.It had a history of over 1000 years. D.It was deserted for mysterious reasons.
【答案】35.A 36.B 37.A 38.B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了敦煌莫高窟是中国的艺术宝库,已有一千多年的历史。这里的艺术门类主要有建筑、灰泥雕塑、壁画、绢画、书法木刻、刺绣、文学、音乐舞蹈、大众娱乐等十余种。文章说明了莫高窟的建造过程,以及莫高窟17号这项伟大的发现。
35.主旨大意题。根据第二段“In 366 A. D., a monk named Le Zun looked across the river at dawn and saw a thousand Buddhas appear on the golden cliff face of Mingsha mountain along the old Silk Road. The caves were then built by monks and mostly sponsored by people such as wealthy merchants, foreign dignitaries, as well as Chinese emperors.(公元366年,一位名叫乐尊的僧人在黎明时分眺望对岸,看到千尊佛像出现在古丝绸之路沿线明沙山的金色悬崖上。这些洞穴是由僧侣建造的,主要由富商、外国政要以及中国皇帝等资助)”可知,第二段主要讲了莫高窟的传说。故选A项。
36.细节理解题。根据第四段中“The caves at that time were badly ignored, but Monk Wang recognized their value and instituted a program of restoration, funded by whatever donations he could gather.(当时,这些洞穴被严重忽视,但王认识到了它们的价值,并制定了一项修复计划,以他能筹集到的任何捐款资助)”可知,王元禄以不同的方式筹集捐款,从而来修复这些洞穴。故选B项。
37. 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The Mogao Caves of Dunhuang, a treasure house of art of China, has been spanning over1,000 years. The art inside here covers more than ten major genres, such as architecture, stucco sculpture, wall paintings, silk paintings, calligraphy woodblock printing, embroidery, literature, music and dance, and popular entertainment.

38.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“One theory was that the cave had become a waste storeroom for precious, damaged and used documents and holy equipment and then sealed perhaps when the place came under threat. (一种理论认为,这个洞穴已经变成了珍贵、损坏和使用过的文件和神圣设备的废物储藏室,然后可能在这个地方受到威胁时被密封起来)”可知,莫高窟17号被认为是一个伟大的发现是因为它储存了珍贵的历史资料。故选B项。

After William Geil’s historic journey along the Great Wall (1908) and the publication of his book on the subject (1909), many books 54 the Great Wall followed. Most of them were in Chinese, while just a handful appeared in English. But the latter (后者) were mainly historical accounts, written by foreign researchers with little field experience of the extensive 55 . 70 years later, I became the first foreigner to follow in William Geil’s 56 .
My years-long 57 led to a storehouse of material and knowledge that I have used to 58 The Great Wall Explained, which has become a textbook for journalists, filmmakers, students and those planning 59 along the Great Wall for more than just a day or so.

I don’t think it will be in 63 hands until generations of university students have 64 its diversity as a subject for a semester-length period.
The book is an explanation of the geography, history, appearance and function of the walls 65 in various dynasties. After a brief introduction, I then explain the Great Wall through the 66 chapters: Conflict, Construction, Architecture, Operation, Personages, Views and Conservation. 67 illustrated with photos that help to explain, the book also 68 many self-drawn maps and self-designed charts.

三、阅读理解(每篇10分,共 20分)
(一)
Chinese hit video game Black Myth: Wukong has taken the gaming world by storm, selling more than 10 million copies across all platforms in just three days after its release.
The game is inspired by the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West. In it, players take the role of the Destined One, setting off for adventures to collect six Relics that once belonged to Sun Wukong and challenge the Celestial Court.
Drawing on a rich heritage of nearly 1,000 years of Chinese culture, the game’s storyline and characters have proven difficult to understand for many players from western countries. For instance, a player shared on social media that their lack of familiarity with Journey to the West led to them consistently missing hidden treasures, finally resulting in repeated failures during a boss fight in Chapter 2. Meanwhile, some players feel overwhelmed by names like Erlang Shen and Lingxuzi, which can be difficult to pronounce for those unfamiliar with Chinese phonetics.
To bridge these cultural divides, one enthusiast wrote a 200-page outline detailing Sun Wukong’s abilities across all 100 chapters of Journey to the West. Many others immersed themselves in the epic by checking out forums, TV shows, anime, manga and online encyclopedias.
Through this process, western players have not only refined their gaming skills but also developed a deeper appreciation for Sun Wukong and Journey to the West.
“Although many people might compare Sun Wukong to Western superheroes, I believe they are different,” said Patrick from the US. “Sun Wukong has a carefree and independent nature, unlimited by the need to set a good example for others like Spider-Man, who by contrast follows principles like ‘with great power comes great responsibility’.”
Journey to the West offers a comprehensive narrative that covers a very dangerous journey, numerous encounters and the exploration of various cultures, making it a rich source for diverse storytelling types and cultural backgrounds.
Perhaps these are some of the key reasons why Journey to the West has been translated into over a dozen languages, with more than 60 versions available worldwide.
31.What is the Destined One in Paragraph 2?
A.The nickname of Sun Wukong in the game.
B.The fictional main character of this hit game.
C.One of the adventures to collect the six Relics.
D.One of the six Relics belonging to the Celestial Court.
32.What does the underlined word “bridge” in paragraph 4 most likely mean?
A.Get rid of. B.Take control of. C.Keep track of D.Take advantage of.
33.What can be learned about the game from the passage?
A.It has gradually gained popularity among players worldwide.
B.Its original character Sun Wukong is similar to western superheroes.
C.It has been translated into many languages with numerous versions available worldwide.
D.It is rather challenging for western players due to their unfamiliarity with Chinese culture.
34.What does the text mainly talk about?
A.A Chinese hit video game and its original novel Journey to the West.
B.Reasons behind the success of Chinese video game Black Myth: Wukong.
C.The cultural impact and western players’ reception of a Chinese hit video game.
D.Challenges and benefits Black Myth: Wukong brings to the spread of Chinese culture.

The Mogao Caves of Dunhuang, a treasure house of art of China, has been spanning over 1,000 years. The art inside here covers more than ten major genres, such as architecture, stucco sculpture, wall paintings, silk paintings, calligraphy woodblock printing, embroidery, literature, music and dance, and popular entertainment. But all these only existed because of one man’s vision.
In 366 A.D., a monk named Le Zun looked across the river at dawn and saw a thousand Buddhas appear on the golden cliff face of Mingsha mountain along the old Silk Road. The caves were then built by monks and mostly sponsored by people such as wealthy merchants, foreign dignitaries, as well as Chinese emperors.
But when trade in the Silk Road stopped, Dunhuang was soon forgotten and eventually, the Mogao caves were abandoned. The site however was still used as a place of worship by the local people of the 20th century when there was renewed awareness in its presence once mere.
Most of the discoveries came from a Chinese Taoist monk named Wang Yuanlu who appointed himself as the guardian. The caves at that time were badly ignored, but Monk Wang recognized their value and instituted a program of restoration, funded by whatever donations he could gather.
He then made one of the great discoveries in Chinese archaeology (考古学): an amazing cache, of over 50,000 documents and paintings, which had been hidden in Mogao Cave #17. The cave #17 came to be known as the Library Cave, which was walled up sometime early in the11th century. A number of theories have been proposed as the reason for sealing the cave. One theory was that the cave had become a waste storeroom for precious, damaged and used documents and holy equipment and then sealed perhaps when the place came under threat. Another suggestion is that the cave was simply used as a book storehouse for documents which accumulated over a century and a half, then sealed up when it became full. Others suggested that the monks hurriedly hid the documents in advance of an attack by invaders.
35.What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.The legend of Mogao Caves. B.The end of the old Silk Road.
C.The discovery of Mogao Caves. D.The development of the Silk Road.
36.What did Wang Yuanlu do to restore the caves?
A.He evaluated their value. B.He raised donations in different ways.
C.He sent guards to protect them. D.He persuaded government to do repairs.
