But The Three-Body Problem was unlike anything Ken had ever read. A mind-bending story was full of heady technical passages about physics theory, mixed with profound moral questions and humanity’s place in the university. So capturing the novel in all its complexity seemed discouraging. When the English translation of The Three-Body Problem was published, it was described as a ground breaking work of speculative fiction (推理小说). Liu Cixin, the author of the original work said, “Usually when Chinese literature gets translated into a foreign language, it tends to lose something. But I don’t think that happened to The Three-Body Problem. I think it gained something.” Ken was born in Lanzhou, Gansu province. He was a bookworm. Books provided him with a shelter when Ire mo to California, and couldn’t speak English at the age of 11. After graduation from Harvard, he was a computer programmer, then a corporate lawyer, and later a sci-fi writer. Throughout his shifting professional journey, Ken wrote fiction continuously. Finally, one of his works won three big awards. Ken never set out to be a translator, but a Chinese writer discovered Ken. Chen Qiufan liked reading Ken’s short stories online and kept in touch with Ken. One day, he asked Ken for his opinion on an English translation of one of his stories, which was from a translation company. Ken wasn’t impressed and offered to edit it, but ended up redoing the translation from scratch. Chen was completely moved by Ken’s spirit. Ken’s approach to translation is unorthodox (非正统的). Strict loyalty to the source material is not his chief goal, nor is producing a smooth, Americanized version. “It’s not a word-by-word recreation,” he said. “It’s about how I show the overall effect.” Rather than ignoring cultural and spoken differences that would be lost on most Western readers, he tries to stress them. 19. Which of the following can best describe the task of translating The Three-Body Problem? A. demanding B. well-paid C. urgent D. eye-catching 20. What does Ken’s writing experience tell us? A. Well begun is half done. B. Don’t judge a book by its cover. C. Constant efforts will eventually pay off. D. Unintentional actions bring unexpected surprises. 21. What impressed Chen Qiufan most about Ken? A. Ken wrote many short novels online. B. Ken gave his opinions on Chen’s novels. C. Ken aimed to be a translator after graduation. D. Ken took his work seriously and pursued perfection. 22. What is Ken’s translation style like? A. It follows every word exactly. B. It highlights cultural differences. C. It is influenced by American culture. D. It focuses on the fluency of language. 【答案】19. A 20. C 21. D 22. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了科幻作家Ken Liu翻译《三体》的过程及其翻译风格。 【19题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段中“A mind-bending story was full of heady technical passages about physics theory, mixed with profound moral questions and humanity’s place in the university. So capturing the novel in all its complexity seemed discouraging. (这部令人费解的故事充满了令人陶醉的物理理论段落，同时夹杂着深刻的道德问题和人类在宇宙中的位置。因此，要全面捕捉这部小说的复杂性似乎令人气馁。)”可知，翻译《三体》这项任务非常复杂，令人气馁，因此可以推断出翻译这项任务的要求很高，很苛刻。故选A。 【20题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段中“Throughout his shifting professional journey, Ken wrote fiction continuously. Finally, one of his works won three big awards. (在他不断转变的职业旅程中，Ken一直坚持写小说。最终，他的作品之一赢得了三项大奖。)”可知，他通过持续的努力最终得到了回报。“持续的努力最终会得到回报”最能概括Ken的写作经历。故选C。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段中“Ken wasn’t impressed and offered to edit it, but ended up redoing the translation from scratch. Chen was completely moved by Ken’s spirit. (Ken并不满意，提出帮他编辑，但最终决定从头开始重新翻译。陈被Ken的精神深深打动。)”可知，陈对Ken印象最深的是：Ken对工作认真负责，追求完美。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“Rather than ignoring cultural and spoken differences that would be lost on most Western readers, he tries to stress them. (他并没有忽视大多数西方读者可能会忽视的文化和口语差异，反而试图强调这些差异。)”可知，Ken的翻译强调文化差异。故选B。 C As cities continue to grow, the need for efficient and sustainable food production has never been greater. Urban Sprout, an innovative company, has introduced Rooftop Green, a garden system that transforms urban rooftops into green spaces providing fresh produce directly to city residents. Rooftop Green is designed to be adaptable, serving small households as well as large commercial buildings. By developing otherwise unused rooftop space, it provides a practical solution to the problem of urban food deserts. The system is remarkably easy to maintain and promises a constant supply of organic vegetables and herbs. The technology behind Rooftop Green includes smart sensors and an automatic watering system. The latter optimizes plant growth with minimal water use. Connected to a mobile app, the sensors give users insights into plant health, growth stages, and proper harvest times. The app ensures that even green-hand gardeners can successfully grow their crops with confidence.

Despite this, we know precious little about how human language developed. A paper published in Frontiers in Psychology proposes that we should look at ancient cave art to gain insights into how our ability for language came to be. “Language doesn’t fossilize (石化), but maybe in these cave drawings, we can see some of the beginnings of human beings as symbolic beings,” said Shigeru Miyagawa, MIT linguist (语言学家) professor and the paper’s lead author. Miyagawa and his co-authors propose that cave paintings exist at the intersection of communication between visual and aural (听觉的) cues. “The linguists’ theory comes from the fact that many of the caves where art has been found are acoustic (声音) “hot spots”. In these caves, sounds echo (发出回声) louder and more intensely as one goes deeper. Many of the drawings are located in these sections of the cave, and even some areas that would have been better for drawing on walls were ignored in favor of these spots. The drawings would then show sounds that humans made while in the caves. Think about how many examples of cave art that show various four-legged animals, including horses. The echoing of noises, be it tapping on rocks inside the cave or thunder from outside the cave, would have created sounds like horses running across the ground. This mix of sound and visual representation,” they write, “allowed early humans to enhance their ability to convey symbolic thinking to their fellows, as well as their ability to process aural and visual input as symbolic.” Such symbolic thinking could have led to developing other types of communication, including sentences. Of course, this is not a declarative statement. A great deal more research is required before anything can be said in a definitive way. One thing Miyagawa does feet confident about is that it will further conversations about the importance of our art in our development as a species. 27. What does the paper published in Frontiers in Psychology focus on? A. The origin of human beings. B. The importance of visual communication. C. The connection between cave art and language. D. The determining factors of language development. 28. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The significance of ancient cave drawings. B. The theory about the formation of the caves. C. The sites where cave drawings were discovered. D. The evidence that supports linguists' assumption. 29. What might the mix of sound and visual representation in cave paintings contribute to? A. The change of human thinking. B. The start of symbolic development. C. The improvement in communication. D. The increase in the diversity of languages. 30. Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude to the study? A. Objective. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Disapproving. 【答案】27. C 28. D 29. C 30. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了发表在《心理学前沿》上的一篇论文提出，我们应该研究古代洞穴艺术，以深入了解我们的语言能力是如何形成的。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A paper published in Frontiers in Psychology proposes that we should look at ancient cave art to gain insights into how our ability for language came to be.(发表在《心理学前沿》上的一篇论文提出，我们应该研究古代洞穴艺术，以深入了解我们的语言能力是如何形成的。)”可知，该论文在心理学领域发表的内容是洞穴艺术与语言之间的联系。故选C。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段，尤其是第一句话“The linguists’ theory comes from the fact that many of the caves where art has been found are acoustic (声音的) “hot spots”.(语言学家的理论来自这样一个事实：许多发现艺术品的洞穴都是声学“热点”。)”可知，第三段主要介绍了支持语言学家假设的证据。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“This mix of sound and visual representation,” they write, “allowed early humans to enhance their ability to convey symbolic thinking to their fellows, as well as their ability to process aural and visual input as symbolic.” Such symbolic thinking could have led to developing other types of communication, including sentences.(他们写道，这种声音和视觉表征的结合，“使早期人类能够增强向同伴传达象征性思维的能力，以及将听觉和视觉输入作为象征进行处理的能力。”这种象征性思维可能会导致其他类型的交流方式的发展，包括句子。)”可知，洞穴绘画中声音和视觉表现形式的混合会导致沟通的改善。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Of course, this is not a declarative statement. A great deal more research is required before anything can be said in a definitive way.(当然，这不是陈述性的结论。在以明确的方式说任何事情之前，需要进行更多的研究。)”和上文提到的研究的理论基础可知，文章主要介绍了发表在《心理学前沿》上的一篇论文。作者对这项研究持客观态度，既没有表现出怀疑，也没有表现出冷漠或赞成，作者只是客观地呈现了研究的内容和需要进一步研究的事实，故选A。 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。 Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night with unhappy thoughts in your head?

Andy and his brother Berlin were filled with excitement as they thought of visiting their grandparents again. The big day came at last. After the happy family got ready, they set out for the grandparents’ eagerly. On the way, the brothers were excitedly talking about the fun they had with grandparents. A little blue house with a tall white chimney finally appeared. Behind the house was the forest carrying their good memories with Grandpa. They arrived at the driveway, at the end of which Grandma was waiting for them joyfully. Andy and Berlin each gave Grandma a big hug and then swept to the living room, shouting excitedly “Grandpa, we are back!” Seeing his grandsons, Grandpa was wild with joy and tried to get up with all his strength from the chair but in vain. A helpless expression flashed on his face. Grandma explained that his health was declining rapidly and maybe couldn’t stand up on his own forever. But Grandpa declared stubbornly (倔强地), “I can!” Certainly, he was stuck in his boyish way. Mum and grandparents were happy to meet again after a long time. They sat together and chatted about what happened recently. The brothers were soon bored with adult conversation, went out and wandered into the forest. Tall trees stretched up to the heavens with large branches crossing each other, while young ones rose straight like soldiers. Grandpa was once an intelligent explorer. He could tell where the birds came from only by their calls and songs. The trees, birds, lizards, lots of bugs… How many merry moments they spent with Grandpa in the kingdom! But now Grandpa couldn’t get up. This made them worried. “We’d think out a way to cheer him up.” Andy said. “Grandpa is a bird lover, and we can catch him a bird.” Berlin suggested. “But he hates birds being caged!” Andy shook his head. Then a bright idea came to Andy’s mind “Why not make a cane (拐杖) out of a young tree!” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Berlin thought it was a good idea. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Andy and Berlin handed the cane to Grandpa. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Berlin thought it was a good idea. With the tools fetched from the backyard, they returned to the forest to search for an appropriate young tree for a cane. Hardly had they selected one when they got started with their BIG PROJECT. Andy, the elder brother, took on the job of cutting it down, while Berlin, who was younger and more creative, was responsible for decoration. Hard as it might seem to them, they never thought about quitting. After what seemed a long time, an elegant and tough cane appeared. Both of them were more than satisfied with their work and couldn’t wait to rush home. Andy and Berlin handed the cane to Grandpa. The instant he saw it, he knew what it was all about. Deeply touched by the grandsons’ gift, he took it with great excitement and tapped it on the ground several times. Obviously, he attempted to stand up with it. With the encouragement of the two brothers, he struggled to get up, slowly walking towards the forest. A cheerful and joyful expression, which Andy and Berlin had expected of Grandpa, flashed on his face. It was at that moment that they literally felt all the efforts to make the cane were all worth it. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述Andy和弟弟Berlin暑假去看望他们的祖父母，爷爷奶奶看到他们欣喜若狂，但是爷爷不能站起来了，这让他们很担心。所以在森林闲逛时，Andy提出给爷爷做一根手杖。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“Berlin认为这是个好主意。”可知，本段可以写兄弟俩如何做手杖。 ②由第一段首句内容“Andy和Berlin把手杖递给爷爷。”可知，本段可以写爷爷受到手杖后的反应。 2. 续写线索：兄弟俩找做手杖的工具——他们开始制作——制作完成——送给爷爷——爷爷激动——爷爷努力站起来走向森林——兄弟俩认为努力都值得 3. 词类激活 行为类 ①挑选：select/pick up ②放弃：quit/give up ③试图做某事：attempt to do/make an attempt to do 情绪类 ①满意：satisfied/content ②兴奋：excitement/thrill 【点睛】【高分句型1】Andy, the elder brother, took on the job of cutting it down, while Berlin, who was younger and more creative, was responsible for decoration.

B In the fall of 2012, Ken Liu received an offer from a Chinese company, which was seeking an English translator for a sci-fi novel titled The Three-Body Problem, Ken was a natural choice; familiar with both the Chinese and English sci-fi wording and culture. But The Three-Body Problem was unlike anything Ken had ever read. A mind-bending story was full of heady technical passages about physics theory, mixed with profound moral questions and humanity’s place in the university. So capturing the novel in all its complexity seemed discouraging. When the English translation of The Three-Body Problem was published it was described as a ground breaking work of speculative fiction (推理小说). Liu Cixin, the author of the original work said, “Usually when Chinese literature gets translated into a foreign language, it tends to lose something. But I don’t think that happened to The Three-Body Problem. I think it gained something.” Ken was born in Lanzhou, Gansu province. He was a bookworm. Books provided him with a shelter when Ire mo to California, and couldn’t speak English at the age of 11. After graduation from Harvard, he was a computer programmer, then a corporate lawyer, and later a sci-fi writer. Throughout his shifting professional journey, Ken wrote fiction continuously. Finally, one of his works won three big awards. Ken never set out to be a translator, but a Chinese writer discovered Ken. Chen Qiufan liked reading Ken’s short stories online and kept in touch with Ken. One day, he asked Ken for his opinion on an English translation of one of his stories, which was from a translation company. Ken wasn’t impressed and offered to edit it, but ended up redoing the translation from scratch. Chen was completely moved by Ken’s spirit. Ken’s approach to translation is unorthodox (非正统的). Strict loyalty to the source material is not his chief goal, nor is producing a smooth, Americanized version. “It’s not a word-by-word recreation,” he said. “It’s about how I show the overall effect.” Rather than ignoring cultural and spoken differences that would be lost on most Western readers, he tries to stress them. 19. Which of the following can best describe the task of translating The Three-Body Problem? A. demanding B. well-paid C. urgent D. eye-catching 20. What does Ken’s writing experience tell us? A. Well begun is half done. B. Don’t judge a book by its cover. C. Constant efforts will eventually pay off. D. Unintentional actions bring unexpected surprises. 21. What impressed Chen Qiufan most about Ken? A. Ken wrote many short novels online. B. Ken gave his opinions on Chen’s novels. C. Ken aimed to be a translator after graduation. D. Ken took his work seriously and pursued perfection. 22. What is Ken’s translation style like? A. It follows every word exactly. B. It highlights cultural differences. C. It is influenced by American culture. D. It focuses on the fluency of language. C As cities continue to grow, the need for efficient and sustainable food production has never been greater. Urban Sprout, an innovative company, has introduced Rooftop Green, a garden system that transforms urban rooftops into green spaces providing fresh produce directly to city residents. Rooftop Green is designed to be adaptable, serving small households as well as large commercial buildings. By developing otherwise unused rooftop space, it provides a practical solution to the problem of urban food deserts. The system is remarkably easy to maintain and promises a constant supply of organic vegetables and herbs. The technology behind Rooftop Green includes smart sensors and an automatic watering system. The latter optimizes plant growth with minimal water use. Connected to a mobile app, the sensors give users insights into plant health, growth stages, and proper harvest times. The app ensures that even green-hand gardeners can successfully grow their crops with confidence. By creating green oases (绿洲) in urban areas, Rooftop Green not only cuts the carbon footprint associated food transport but also enhances urban biodiversity. Furthermore, it reduces reliance on chemical fertilizers, making it an environmentally friendly option for citizens. Urban Sprout employees include the company’s eco-friendly values in their daily routines. They actively participate in community gardening and conservation projects, promoting sustainability within and beyond the workplace. “Our goal is to develop a culture that values green living,” explained an Urban Sprout representative. Rooftop Green is more than an agricultural innovation. It is part of a broader movement towards sustainable living. For those looking to make a positive environmental impact, it offers an accessible and impactful way to engage with sustainability. 23. What is the main purpose of Rooftop Green? A. To provide decorations for urban buildings. B. To make profits through commercial farming. C. To conduct scientific research on plant growth. D. To provide fresh produce by rooftop gardening. 24. What's the function of smart sensors? A. Observing the gardening process. B. Decreasing the need for watering. C Speeding up the growth of plants. D. Building confidence of beginners. 25. What does Rooftop Green-suggest? A. The change of workplace culture. B. A green and long-lasting city life. C. The total reliance on technologies. D. A trend towards independent living. 26. What’s the best title of the text? A. Innovations in Agricultural Technology B. Rooftop Solutions for Urban Food Deserts C. Enhancing Urban Biodiversity with Sensors D. The Role of Technology in Urban Gardening D With its ability to pass down complex information across many generations, human language almost certainly played a sizable part in humans’ ability to become a dominant species on the planet. Despite this, we know precious little about how human language developed. A paper published in Frontiers in Psychology proposes that we should look at ancient cave art to gain insights into how our ability for language came to be. “Language doesn’t fossilize (石化), but maybe in these cave drawings, we can see some of the beginnings of human beings as symbolic beings,” said Shigeru Miyagawa, MIT linguist (语言学家) professor and the paper’s lead author. Miyagawa and his co-authors propose that cave paintings exist at the intersection of communication between visual and aural (听觉的) cues. “The linguists’ theory comes from the fact that many of the caves where art has been found are acoustic (声音的) “hot spots”. In these caves, sounds echo (发出回声) louder and more intensely as one goes deeper. Many of the drawings are located in these sections of the cave, and even some areas that would have been better for drawing on walls were ignored in favor of these spots.

Andy and his brother Berlin were filled with excitement as they thought of visiting their grandparents again. The big day came at last. After the happy family got ready, they set out for the grandparents’ eagerly. On the way, the brothers were excitedly talking about the fun they had with grandparents. A little blue house with a tall white chimney finally appeared. Behind the house was the forest carrying their good memories with Grandpa. They arrived at the driveway, at the end of which Grandma was waiting for them joyfully. Andy and Berlin each gave Grandma a big hug and then swept to the living room shouting excitedly “Grandpa, we are back!” Seeing his grandsons, Grandpa was wild with joy and tried to get up with all his strength from the chair but in vain. A helpless expression flashed on his face. Grandma explained that his health was declining rapidly and maybe couldn’t stand up on his own forever. But Grandpa declared stubbornly (倔强地), “I can!” Certainly, he was stuck in his boyish way. Mum and grandparents were happy to meet again after a long time. They sat together and chatted about what happened recently. The brothers were soon bored with adult conversation, went out and wandered into the forest. Tall trees stretched up to the heavens with large branches crossing each other, while young ones rose straight like soldiers. Grandpa was once an intelligent explorer. He could tell where the birds came from only by their calls and songs. The trees, birds, lizards, lots of bugs… How many merry moments they spent with Grandpa in the kingdom! But now Grandpa couldn’t get up. This made them worried. “We’d think out a way to cheer him up.” Andy said. “Grandpa is a bird lover, and we can catch him a bird.” Berlin suggested. “But he hates birds being caged!” Andy shook his head. Then a bright idea came to Andy’s mind. “Why not make a cane (拐杖) out of a young tree!” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Berlin thought it was a good idea. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Andy and Berlin handed the cane to Grandpa. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
