Dear Younger Me,
It’s hard to believe we’re nearing our senior years. While I hope we have 20 or 30 good years ahead, it’s time to think about some choices we regret.
I can’t hold you responsible for decisions made before we turned 18. Our brains weren’t fully developed, and being the youngest child in the family made it hard to find independence. We went against our parents. We got close to friends, but then again pushed them back. Yes, there were secrets and lies, but that’s part of growing up.
However, I think you should apologize for how you started our career (事业). You had always dreamed of being a reporter, but settled for editing work only because it was the easiest thing to do in your field. Over time, you felt you didn’t learn much, even though the pay was good and working hours were pretty flexible. It wasn’t until we changed to marketing that we found a more satisfying path and met the love of our life.
We bought a lovely home in the city centre. But starting a family brought new challenges.The responsibilities of parenting took over our job goals as we got caught up in our kids’ activities. And when the kids went to college, we faced an empty home and had to rediscover who we were besides parents. It felt like a new stage of youth, where we were re-learning about life without focusing on our kids. We found part-time jobs and meaningful volunteer work, trying to stay connected while finding our own space.
Now, as we approach senior years, life feels peaceful. We’ve had ups and downs, from losing our mom to watching our kids grow. So, younger me, let’s pardon ourselves for past mistakes. We can’t move forward until we make peace with our past. Hopefully, our best days are still ahead.
The Senior Me
24. What’s the purpose of “me” writing this letter?
A. To reflect on the past. B. To plan for the future.
C. To catch up with a friend. D. To ask for some advice.
25. What makes “my” growth so challenging before “I” turned 18?
A. Failing to take responsibilities. B. Having no elder brothers or sisters.
C. Dealing with relationships with others. D. Wanting to stay dependent on parents.
26. Why was “I” disappointed with the first job?
A. It didn’t pay much. B. It didn’t match my major.
C. It required long working hours. D. It offered me little job growth.
27. How did “I” adjust“my” life after the kids went to college?
A. By emptying our home. B. By finding a new purpose.
C. By keeping a distance from others. D. By learning to accept growing old.
C
Sports fans use their clothes and colors to show how much they love their team. “This behavior has much to do with honour,” said Jonathan Jensen, professor at the University of North Carolina. He and his colleagues found if a student’s football team won a game, it doubled the chance of the student wearing the team’s clothes, while a loss greatly reduced the possibility of wearing team clothes by more than half.
Winning or losing not only changes how fans dress but also how they talk about their connection with the team to show whose side they are on. Andrew Billings, director at the University of Alabama, used machine learning to analyze (分析) more than 7,000 social media posts during a major sporting event. They found that fans increased the use of first-person pronouns, saying how “we” won the day when their team scored or won. By comparison, the fans talked about how “they” did not perform well when their team was behind or lost.
This behavior of fans shows how strongly they feel connected to their teams. Taking part in these shared experiences provides them with more opportunities to socialize, which can strengthen their relationships with others. As Jensen said, “When you interact (互动) with people, you feel more connected with them, and you also benefit from better mental health and are more likely to stay involved (投入).”
However, there are potential drawbacks of becoming too involved in a sports team, especially when your connection with the team becomes stronger than the people around you. “We’ve heard cases where people have missed their son’s or daughter’s wedding because it was happening during an Alabama football game,” Billings said. “Sometimes when you put too many eggs in the sports basket, you are leaving your mood up to athletes or teams that you have no control over.”
28. What may a student post online for his team’s success according to paragraph 2?
A. They are all the best! B. Look at our cute players.
C. She could have done better! D. He is definitely a handsome guy.
29. What can we learn about being sports fans according to paragraph 3?
A. It harms their mental health. B. It strengthens their sports skills.
C. It influences their family relationships. D. It encourages their social connection.
30. What does the underlined word “drawbacks” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Differences. B. Benefits. C. Disadvantages. D. Responsibilities.
31. What is Billings’s attitude to over-involvement in a sports team?
A. Negative. B. Confused. C. Supportive. D. Uncertain.
D
Whale communication has long been a puzzle for scientists, with their underwater sound — “click... click... click” — remaining largely unexplained. However, thanks to the surprising abilities of artificial intelligence (AI), researchers from a program can interpret the sounds of these amazing sea animals.
The program is called the Whale Translation Project (WTP), whose meaning is to know what whales are saying. Its goal is clear but very difficult to achieve. Understanding the communication of whales and other animals could inspire conservation (保护) efforts. For example, the discovery that humpback whales sing to each other in the 1960s led to successful conservation activities and laws.
The WTP started when Gruber, a biologist at Harvard University, turned to a computer scientist for help about dealing with a large amount of data on whale sounds. They thought of applying machine learning, used for improving human language translations, to whales. The sound of click, similar to a binary code (二进制), is easy for AI to analyze.
Scientists once presented the sounds of a whale using a series of lines to show the number of clicks per second. Now, with the help of AI, Gruber can quickly turn the thousands of whale sounds from hours of recordings into a new kind of pictures that look like musical notes. This method helps to find tiny differences in the sounds. Gruber can use AI to analyze the differences and the specific context, like the behavior of moving to the surface and hunting for food, and thus understand the meaning of the whale sound easily. He can also discover how whales interact, getting 99% right in predicting (预测) the next click.
This kind of work isn't limited to whales. Suresh Neethirajan, a computer science and agriculture professor, studies how farmers can use real-time observation to explain animal behaviors. He collects data, such as body temperature, paired with recorded sounds and videos,to understand whether animals are comfortable or not. With AI, he can recognise sick animals quickly, improving their well-being.
32. What is the purpose of mentioning the discovery in the 1960s?
A. To show the success of protecting the environment.
B. To explain the difficulty of saving humpback whales.
C. To stress the value of studying animal communication.
D. To introduce the challenge of understanding whale language.
33. How can AI help according to paragraph 4?
A. It records whale sound quickly. B. It processes sound data effectively.
C. It reads musical notes correctly. D. It promotes whale interactions directly.
34. What can we learn about AI according to the last paragraph?
A. It cures diseases of animals. B. It improves farmers' well-being.
C. It aims to change animal behavior. D. It helps to understand animals' needs.
35. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Scientists develop machine learning. B. Scientists discover a new whale sound.
C. AI creates a unique type of musical note. D. AI unlocks the secrets of animal language.
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。
When applying to college, most students’ goal is to “stand out.” Some believe a beautifully-written essay will make them so, while others think a long activity list will give them an advantage. ____36____ But one of the best ways is to show how you are a person that can make impact inside and outside of the classroom.
Don’t know where to start? ____37____ Take part in group discussions, ask and answer questions, and turn to your teachers for help if you need it. By being a thoughtful and curious student, you can help shape an in-class environment which other students are excited to join in.
And for off-class activities, start by recognising your interest. ____38____ Joining a club,volunteering, or taking part in other activities of your interest is the first step towards making an impact. On top of that, take action. ____39____ And don’t be afraid to seek out solutions.

A soldier who does not want to be a general (将军) is not considered a good soldier. ____40____ Taking on a leadership role in after-class activities is one of the most effective ways to create that impact. By becoming a leader in a club, you not only show your organizational skills and personal charm to college admission officers, but also build meaningful connections, inspiring your members to work toward a better future.
A. Do speak up if you notice a problem.
B. Truly, these are all important elements.
C. Otherwise, others might get a head start.

Instead of focusing on winning, I chose to ____51____ the joy of the moment and turned the ____52____ into a fun run.

Dear Younger Me,
It’s hard to believe we’re nearing our senior years. While I hope we have 20 or 30 good years ahead, it’s time to think about some choices we regret.
I can’t hold you responsible for decisions made before we turned 18. Our brains weren’t fully developed, and being the youngest child in the family made it hard to find independence. We went against our parents. We got close to friends, but then again pushed them back. Yes, there were secrets and lies, but that’s part of growing up.
However, I think you should apologize for how you started our career (事业). You had always dreamed of being a reporter, but settled for editing work only because it was the easiest thing to do in your field. Over time, you felt you didn’t learn much, even though the pay was good and working hours were pretty flexible. It wasn’t until we changed to marketing that we found a more satisfying path and met the love of our life.
We bought a lovely home in the city centre. But starting a family brought new challenges.The responsibilities of parenting took over our job goals as we got caught up in our kids’ activities. And when the kids went to college, we faced an empty home and had to rediscover who we were besides parents. It felt like a new stage of youth, where we were re-learning about life without focusing on our kids. We found part-time jobs and meaningful volunteer work, trying to stay connected while finding our own space.
Now, as we approach senior years, life feels peaceful. We’ve had ups and downs, from losing our mom to watching our kids grow. So, younger me, let’s pardon ourselves for past mistakes. We can’t move forward until we make peace with our past. Hopefully, our best days are still ahead.
The Senior Me

25. What makes “my” growth so challenging before “I” turned 18?
A. Failing to take responsibilities. B. Having no elder brothers or sisters.

26. Why was “I” disappointed with the first job?
A. It didn’t pay much. B. It didn’t match my major.
C. It required long working hours. D. It offered me little job growth.
27. How did “I” adjust“my” life after the kids went to college?
A. By emptying our home. B. By finding a new purpose.
C. By keeping a distance from others. D. By learning to accept growing old.

Sports fans use their clothes and colors to show how much they love their team. “This behavior has much to do with honour,” said Jonathan Jensen, professor at the University of North Carolina. He and his colleagues found if a student’s football team won a game, it doubled the chance of the student wearing the team’s clothes, while a loss greatly reduced the possibility of wearing team clothes by more than half.
Winning or losing not only changes how fans dress, but also how they talk about their connection with the team to show whose side they are on. Andrew Billings, director at the University of Alabama, used machine learning to analyze (分析) more than 7,000 social media posts during a major sporting event. They found that fans increased the use of first-person pronouns, saying how “we” won the day when their team scored or won. By comparison, the fans talked about how “they” did not perform well when their team was behind or lost.
This behavior of fans shows how strongly they feel connected to their teams. Taking part in these shared experiences provides them with more opportunities to socialize, which can strengthen their relationships with others. As Jensen said, “When you interact (互动) with people, you feel more connected with them, and you also benefit from better mental health and are more likely to stay involved (投入).”
However, there are potential drawbacks of becoming too involved in a sports team, especially when your connection with the team becomes stronger than the people around you. “We’ve heard cases where people have missed their son’s or daughter’s wedding because it was happening during an Alabama football game,” Billings said. “Sometimes when you put too many eggs in the sports basket, you are leaving your mood up to athletes or teams that you have no control over.”
28. What may a student post online for his team’s success according to paragraph 2?
A. They are all the best! B. Look at our cute players.
C. She could have done better! D. He is definitely a handsome guy.
29. What can we learn about being sports fans according to paragraph 3?
A. It harms their mental health. B. It strengthens their sports skills.
C. It influences their family relationships. D. It encourages their social connection.
30. What does the underlined word “drawbacks” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Differences. B. Benefits. C. Disadvantages. D. Responsibilities.
31. What is Billings’s attitude to over-involvement in a sports team?
A. Negative. B. Confused. C. Supportive. D. Uncertain.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了球迷支持球队的表现、当球迷的益处和过度关心某一运动队的弊端。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的句子“Andrew Billings, director at the University of Alabama, used machine learning to analyze (分析) more than 7,000 social media posts during a major sporting event. They found that fans increased the use of first-person pronouns, saying how “we” won the day when their team scored or won. By comparison, the fans talked about how “they” did not perform well when their team was behind or lost.(阿拉巴马大学主任安德鲁·比林斯在一场重大体育赛事期间使用机器学习分析了7000多条社交媒体帖子。他们发现球迷增加了第一人称代词的使用,当他们的球队得分或获胜时,他们会说“我们”赢了。相比之下,当他们的球队落后或输球时,球迷们会说“他们”表现不好。)”可知,当球迷发现他们的球队得分或获胜时,他们发帖时会增加第一人称代词的使用,所以,一个学生为他的球队的成功发帖时可能会使用第一人称。故选B项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“This behavior of fans shows how strongly they feel connected to their teams. Taking part in these shared experiences provides them with more opportunities to socialize, which can strengthen their relationships with others. As Jensen said, “When you interact (互动) with people, you feel more connected with them, and you also benefit from better mental health and are more likely to stay involved (投入).”(球迷的这种行为表明他们与自己的球队有多么紧密的联系。参加这些分享的经历为他们提供了更多的社交机会,这可以加强他们与他人的关系。正如詹森所说:“当你和别人互动时,你会觉得和他们更亲近,你也会从更好的心理健康中受益,更有可能参与其中。”)”可知,当球迷可以促进他们与社会的联系。故选D项。
【30题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词后面的部分“becoming too involved in a sports team, especially when your connection with the team becomes stronger than the people around you. “We’ve heard cases where people have missed their son’s or daughter’s wedding because it was happening during an Alabama football game,” Billings said. “Sometimes when you put too many eggs in the sports basket, you are leaving your mood up to athletes or teams that you have no control over.”(……过度关心一个体育团队,尤其是当你与团队的联系比你周围的人更紧密的时候。比林斯说:“我们听说过一些人错过儿子或女儿婚礼的情况,因为婚礼是在阿拉巴马州的足球比赛期间举行的。”“有时候,当你把太多的鸡蛋放在运动篮子里时,你就把自己的情绪交给了你无法控制的运动员或球队。”)”可知,此处说的是过度关心某一运动队的缺点。所以划线单词与disadvantages意义一致。故选C项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的句子““We’ve heard cases where people have missed their son’s or daughter’s wedding because it was happening during an Alabama football game,” Billings said. “Sometimes when you put too many eggs in the sports basket, you are leaving your mood up to athletes or teams that you have no control over.”(比林斯说:“我们听说过一些人错过儿子或女儿婚礼的情况,因为婚礼是在阿拉巴马州的足球比赛期间举行的。”“有时候,当你把太多的鸡蛋放在运动篮子里时,你就把自己的情绪交给了你无法控制的运动员或球队。”)”可知,比林斯对于过度关心某一运动队的态度是否定的。故选A项。

Whale communication has long been a puzzle for scientists, with their underwater sound — “click... click... click” — remaining largely unexplained. However, thanks to the surprising abilities of artificial intelligence (AI), researchers from a program can interpret the sounds of these amazing sea animals.
The program is called the Whale Translation Project (WTP), whose meaning is to know what whales are saying. Its goal is clear but very difficult to achieve. Understanding the communication of whales and other animals could inspire conservation (保护) efforts. For example, the discovery that humpback whales sing to each other in the 1960s led to successful conservation activities and laws.
The WTP started when Gruber, a biologist at Harvard University, turned to a computer scientist for help about dealing with a large amount of data on whale sounds. They thought of applying machine learning, used for improving human language translations, to whales. The sound of click, similar to a binary code (二进制), is easy for AI to analyze.
Scientists once presented the sounds of a whale using a series of lines to show the number of clicks per second. Now, with the help of AI, Gruber can quickly turn the thousands of whale sounds from hours of recordings into a new kind of pictures that look like musical notes. This method helps to find tiny differences in the sounds. Gruber can use AI to analyze the differences and the specific context, like the behavior of moving to the surface and hunting for food, and thus understand the meaning of the whale sound easily. He can also discover how whales interact, getting 99% right in predicting (预测) the next click.
This kind of work isn't limited to whales. Suresh Neethirajan, a computer science and agriculture professor, studies how farmers can use real-time observation to explain animal behaviors. He collects data, such as body temperature, paired with recorded sounds and videos,to understand whether animals are comfortable or not. With AI, he can recognise sick animals quickly, improving their well-being.
32. What is the purpose of mentioning the discovery in the 1960s?
A To show the success of protecting the environment.
B. To explain the difficulty of saving humpback whales.
C. To stress the value of studying animal communication.
D. To introduce the challenge of understanding whale language.
33. How can AI help according to paragraph 4?
A. It records whale sound quickly. B. It processes sound data effectively.
C. It reads musical notes correctly. D. It promotes whale interactions directly.
34. What can we learn about AI according to the last paragraph?
A. It cures diseases of animals. B. It improves farmers' well-being.
C. It aims to change animal behavior. D. It helps to understand animals' needs.
35. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Scientists develop machine learning. B. Scientists discover a new whale sound.
C. AI creates a unique type of musical note. D. AI unlocks the secrets of animal language.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了鲸鱼的神秘性以及科学家如何利用人工智能技术来解读鲸鱼的声音。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“For example, the discovery that humpback whales sing to each other in the 1960s led to successful conservation activities and laws.(例如,20世纪60年代座头鲸互相唱歌的发现导致了成功的保护活动和法律)”可知,提到20世纪60年代的发现的目的是为了强调研究动物交流的价值。故选C项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Now, with the help of AI, Gruber can quickly turn the thousands of whale sounds from hours of recordings into a new kind of pictures that look like musical notes. This method helps to find tiny differences in the sounds.(现在,在人工智能的帮助下,格鲁伯可以迅速将数千条鲸鱼的声音从数小时的录音中转化为一种看起来像音符的新型图片。这种方法有助于发现声音中的细微差别)”可知,人工智能可以有效地处理声音数据。故选B项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“He collects data, such as body temperature, paired with recorded sounds and videos, to understand whether animals are comfortable or not. With AI, he can recognise sick animals quickly, improving their well-being.(他收集体温等数据,并将其与录制的声音和视频相结合,以了解动物是否感到舒适。有了人工智能,他可以快速识别生病的动物,改善它们的健康状况)”可知,根据最后一段,关于人工智能我们可以了解到的是它有助于理解动物的需求。故选D项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Whale communication has long been a puzzle for scientists, with their underwater sound—“click... click... click” — remaining largely unexplained. However, thanks to the surprising abilities of artificial intelligence (AI), researchers from a program can interpret the sounds of these amazing sea animals.(长期以来,鲸鱼的交流一直是科学家们的一个难题,它们在水下发出的声音——“咔嚓……咔嚓……咔嚓”——基本上没有解释。然而,由于人工智能(AI)的惊人能力,一个项目的研究人员可以解读这些神奇的海洋动物的声音)”可知,本文主要介绍了鲸鱼的神秘性以及科学家如何利用人工智能技术来解读鲸鱼的声音,所以本文的主旨是人工智能揭开了动物语言的秘密。故选D项。

When applying to college, most students’ goal is to “stand out.” Some believe a beautifully-written essay will make them so, while others think a long activity list will give them an advantage. ____36____ But one of the best ways is to show how you are a person that can make impact inside and outside of the classroom.
Don’t know where to start? ____37____ Take part in group discussions, ask and answer questions, and turn to your teachers for help if you need it. By being a thoughtful and curious student, you can help shape an in-class environment which other students are excited to join in.
And for off-class activities, start by recognising your interest. ____38____ Joining a club,volunteering, or taking part in other activities of your interest is the first step towards making an impact. On top of that, take action. ____39____ And don’t be afraid to seek out solutions. For example, if you feel some club policies could be improved, find the right way to share your thoughts and offer useful suggestions to achieve the results you desire.
A soldier who does not want to be a general (将军) is not considered a good soldier. ____40____ Taking on a leadership role in after-class activities is one of the most effective ways to create that impact. By becoming a leader in a club, you not only show your organizational skills and personal charm to college admission officers, but also build meaningful connections, inspiring your members to work toward a better future.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何在课堂内外产生影响提出了一些建议。
【36题详解】
根据上文“When applying to college, most students’ goal is to “stand out.” Some believe a beautifully-written essay will make them so, while others think a long activity list will give them an advantage.(申请大学时,大多数学生的目标都是“脱颖而出”。一些人认为一篇写得漂亮的文章会让他们如此,而另一些人则认为一长串的活动清单会给他们带来优势)”以及后文“But one of the best ways is to show how you are a person that can make impact inside and outside of the classroom.(但最好的方法之一是展示你是一个可以在课堂内外产生影响的人)”可知,上下文为转折关系;由此推知,空处应起到承上启下的作用,即总结上文提到的方法是有点,同时引出下文提到的最好方法。故B选项“的确,这些都是重要的因素”符合语境,故选B。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Don’t know where to start?(不知道从何开始?)”以及后文“Take part in group discussions, ask and answer questions, and turn to your teachers for help if you need it. By being a thoughtful and curious student, you can help shape an in-class environment which other students are excited to join in.(参加小组讨论,提问和回答问题,如果需要的话向老师寻求帮助。作为一个有思想和好奇的学生,你可以帮助塑造一个课堂环境,让其他学生兴奋地加入)”可知,后文主要说明向老师求助以及帮助塑造课堂环境,即都是在教室中做的事情,故F选项“不要好高骛远了,到教室里来”符合语境,故选F。
【38题详解】
根据上文“And for off-class activities, start by recognising your interest.(对于课外活动,从认识到你的兴趣开始)”以及后文“Joining a club, volunteering, or taking part in other activities of your interest is the first step towards making an impact.(加入一个俱乐部,做志愿者,或者参加其他你感兴趣的活动是产生影响的第一步)”可知,上文提到认识自己的兴趣,后文就一些感兴趣的活动进行举例说明,说明先找到自己的喜好,然后参与其中。故D选项“找到你喜欢的事情并参与其中”符合语境,故选D。
【39题详解】
根据后文“And don’t be afraid to seek out solutions. For example, if you feel some club policies could be improved, find the right way to share your thoughts and offer useful suggestions to achieve the results you desire.(不要害怕寻求解决方案。例如,如果你觉得某些俱乐部的政策可以改善,找到正确的方式来分享你的想法,并提供有用的建议,以达到你想要的结果)”可知,后文提到了寻求解决方案,推测本句是在说明先发现问题,后解决问题。故A选项“如果你发现问题,一定要说出来”符合语境,故选A。
【40题详解】
根据上文“A soldier who does not want to be a general (将军) is not considered a good soldier.(不想当将军的士兵不被认为是好士兵)”以及后文“Taking on a leadership role in after-class activities is one of the most effective ways to create that impact. By becoming a leader in a club, you not only show your organizational skills and personal charm to college admission officers, but also build meaningful connections, inspiring your members to work toward a better future.(在课外活动中担任领导角色是创造这种影响的最有效方法之一。通过成为俱乐部的领导者,你不仅可以向大学招生官展示你的组织能力和个人魅力,还可以建立有意义的联系,激励你的成员为更美好的未来而努力)”可知,本句属于过渡句,承接总结上文的道理,开启后文创造影响,G选项中making an impact对应后文that impact。故G选项“同样的道理也适用于制造影响”符合语境,故选G。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了越南古镇会安的重要景点——广肇会馆。文章讲述了其历史背景,包括从15世纪到19世纪会安作为贸易港口的地位,以及广肇会馆自18世纪后期建立以来用途的转变;还介绍了会馆有趣的建造过程,包括材料来源、建筑形状以及装饰特点等,最后说明如今会馆每日迎接游客,为会安增添色彩。
【56题详解】
考查可数名词复数。句意:广肇会馆无疑是这座古镇中最值得探索的景点之一。one of the +形容词最高级+名词复数,表示“最……之一”,spot为可数名词。故填spots。
【57题详解】
考查介词。句意:从15世纪到19世纪,会安是越南的一个贸易港口,供中国人在此经商和定居。serve as为动词短语,意为“作为,充当”as为介词。故填as。
【58题详解】
考查副词。句意:广肇会馆建于18世纪后期,最初是为了供奉妈祖女神和孔子而建。修饰动词established要用副词,original的副词形式为originally,意为“最初,起初”。故填 originally。
【59题详解】
考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:然而,自1911年起,它被改建以供奉关羽及历史上其他受人尊敬的人物。根据since 1911可知,此处应用现在完成时,主语 it ( the Guangzhao Assembly Hall)与adapt之间是被动关系,所以用现在完成时的被动语态,主语为第三人称单数it,助动词为has。故填has been adapted。
【60题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:此外,该会馆为海外广东人提供了一个场所,便于他们组织定期会议,并在商业和日常生活事务中相互支持。此处是动词不定式作后置定语,修饰the overseas Cantonese,表示“为海外广东人提供一个组织定期会议的地方”。故填to organise/to organize。
【61题详解】
考查连词。句意:这座会馆有着有趣的建造过程,因为它的每一部分都在中国制作,然后通过船只运输到会安,再完整地组装起来。根据句意可知,该句made in China、transported by boat和put together completely in Hoi An是并列关系,描述建筑各部分的情况,所以用and连接。故填and。
【62题详解】
考查形容词。句意:它主要由石头和木材建成,形状基于“国”字,是一个封闭的场所,拥有令人印象深刻的花园,还有一扇三门式的大门,上面绘制着龙等图案。修饰名词 gardens要用形容词,impress的形容词形式为impressive,意为“令人印象深刻的”。故填impressive。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它主要由石头和木材建成,形状基于“国”字,是一个封闭的场所,拥有令人印象深刻的花园,还有一扇三门式的大门,上面绘制着龙等图案。在that引导的定语从句中has是谓语动词,空处应用非谓语动词,draw和逻辑主语dragons之间为被动关系,应用过去分词。故填drawn。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:欣赏着这些迷人的图像,游客们不禁钦佩几个世纪前艺术家的才华。分析句子结构可知,此处应用非谓语动词作状语,appreciate和逻辑主语之间visitors是主动关系,所以用现在分词作状语,句首单词首字母大写。故填Appreciating。
【65题详解】
考查冠词。句意:如今,这座会馆每天都迎接游客,为色彩斑斓的会安增添了一抹别样的色彩。a touch of 为名词短语,意为“一点点,少许”,touch 是以辅音音素开头的。故填 a。

【答案】Dear Chris,
I’m writing to share with you the exhibition of intangible cultural heritage of Guangdong.
The exhibition was filled with many wonderful examples of our culture, such as opera, festive culture,local cuisine, and the art of tea-making. I was particularly attracted by the costumes and tunes of the Cantonese opera. With the aroma of traditional cuisine filling the air, I sampled some delicious dim sum and sweet rice dumplings. The tea ceremony was a relaxing experience, with tea artists demonstrating the art of serving Chinese tea. I left with a newfound respect for the artisans who keep these traditions alive and a desire to learn more about my cultural roots.
This memorable exhibition was really rewarding. Wishing you well.
Yours,
