For example, the scenery section features breathtaking natural landscapes, from vast plains to towering mountains. Also of primary note are photos taken to document daily lives of people like farmers working on terrace and craftsmen making bamboo baskets, all captured in unique perspectives. Through the lens of students’ cameras, not only can you appreciate the artistic beauty but have a glimpse into how rural Chinese live in harmony with nature.
It would be my pleasure if you could join us in this awe-inspiring event and be a part of the visual journey. Eagerly anticipate your presence.
Yours,
Li Hua

【范文欣赏】
When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch. Feeling worn out from hours of work, I hesitated for a moment and replied I hadn’t. Hearing that, the girl went back to have a word with her parents and returned with a Mexican taco. “Come and eat this!” said the girl wearing a bright smile. As we shared the meal together on the modest truck, I felt a warm current welling up in my heart. After wolfing down the food, I was about to say goodbye again when the girl pressed a paper bag into my hand, whispering to me to open it later.
After they left, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag. Lying in the bag was a $20 bill, which I had offered in return for their help and a folded note. Unfolding the note, I saw the words left for me “Thanks for letting us help!” Holding the note, I felt a flow of warmth mixed with happiness running through my mind. The words and experience served as the gentle and bright morning sunlight, melting the ice in my heart. Seeing the truck disappear, the distrust in humanity vanished without trace, and with heartfelt gratitude, I’m determined to pass on the kindness./ (Another version) That day, I drove away with more than a repaired tire. And I carried with me a regained trust in kindness of people.
答案详解
阅读理解A篇
【答案】16. A 17. D 18. B
【导语】这是一篇应用文。主要介绍了几本作者很喜欢的杂志。
16. 细节理解题。根据Healthy Food Guide部分“I totally recommend it to everyone because it has lots of useful information about being healthy during your daily life.(我完全推荐它给每个人,因为它有很多关于在日常生活中保持健康的有用信息)”可知,我们可以在Healthy Food Guide中找到保持健康的方法。故选A项。
17. 细节理解题。根据La Cucina Italiana部分“It has lots of recipes and also restaurant reviews.(它有很多菜谱和餐馆评论)”可知,我们可以阅读La Cucina Italiana来查找对于餐馆的评论。故选D项。
18. 推理判断题。根据第一段“I love reading books and magazines, and I’m learning so many useful tips about healthy living, daily life, etc.(我喜欢阅读书籍和杂志,并且我正在学习许多关于健康生活、日常生活等的有用技巧)”可知,作者喜欢阅读,并正在学习关于健康和生活的有用技巧,推测作者是热爱生活并享受生活的。故选B项。
B篇
19. D 20. C 21. A 22. A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文, 讲述了作者在意大利的山丘上拍下一张有人入镜的照片, 并最终将照片挂在家中卧室的故事。
19. 推理判断题。由第三段中的“Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I asked myself: ‘Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape?’ Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so.(尽管我很耐心,但大约15分钟后,我的相机扫描了太阳并回顾了我最终拍摄的照片,我问自己:“让她动一下,这样我就可以拍一张风景照,这太过分了吗?”当然,我本可以问她的,但又好像有些事情阻止了我这样做。)”可知,作者在等待了15分钟后,虽然有些不耐烦,但仍在犹豫是否要请那位女士移开。因此,作者的态度是犹豫的。故选D。
20. 推理判断题。由第二段中的“Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.(和我一样,这个女人在这里停下来,慨叹,欣赏风景。)”和第三段中的“Finally, seeing she seemed so content in her observation, I made up my mind not to mess with that.(最后, 看到她似乎对自己的观察很满意, 我决定不去打扰她。)”可知,那位女士和作者一样,是来欣赏风景的。因此,她可能在山顶玩得很开心,欣赏美丽的景色。故选C。
21. 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.(现在当我看着它的时候, 我觉得她在照片中的存在使这张照片变得有趣。这片风景本身就很美, 不知怎的, 因为这位女士的参与, 风景变得有了生命和气息。)”可知, 是这位陌生人的出现给照片带来了生命力。故选A。
22. 主旨大意题。根据文章倒数第三段的“This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom.(这张照片,展现在我面前的独特之美和那个“毁了”它的女人,现在挂在我卧室的墙上。)”以及倒数第二段“Perhaps we all live in each other's spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, and that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, and for something that is greater than us.(也许我们都生活在彼此的空间里。也许这就是照片的作用:提醒我们,我们都欣赏美,我们都有一个共同的欲望,那就是快乐、联系和比我们更伟大的东西。)”以及结合全文的内容可知,文章的核心事件是作者在意大利莱切度假时,与一个陌生女人在山顶的邂逅。这个邂逅贯穿了全文,从作者最初想要拍照却被挡住视线,到最终决定拍下包含那位女士的照片,再到多年后对这次邂逅的反思和感悟。因此,最佳标题应该是与这次邂逅直接相关的,即A选项“一次无声的邂逅”。这个标题准确地概括了文章的主题和内容。故选A。
C篇
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。主要讲述人们对音乐的喜好是由主观决定的并阐述了其中的原因。
23. D.目的意图题。根据文章第一段内容:"Our preference for this or that kind of music is obviously a subjective matter. It can also be highly unstable,changing not only during a lifetime, but even on a scale of months, or even days. Yet despite such variety, there are three factors that I think are the main contributors .(我们对这种或那种音乐的偏好显然是主观的。它也可能是高度不稳定的,不仅会在一生中发生变化,甚至会在几个月甚至几天内发生变化。尽管这样,我认为有三个因素是主要的促成者。)"可知,作者的写作意图只是要"引入话题"。故选D.
24. B.细节理解题。根据第一段中"Our preference for this or that kind of music is obviously a subjective matter. It can also be highly unstable ,changing not only during a lifetime, but even on a scale of months, or even days.(我们对这种或那种音乐的偏好显然是主观的。它也可能是高度不稳定的,不仅会在一生中发生变化,甚至会在几个月甚至几天内发生变化。)"可知,人们对音乐的喜好是主观的、会变化的。A. interesting and mysterious"有趣又神秘的";B. personal and changeable"主观又易变的";C. unique and stable"独特又稳定的";D. unconscious and typical"无意识又典型的"。所以B选项符合题意。故选B.
25. C.推理判断题。根据第三段中"Music,probably from the very beginning of the existence of modern humans,has been used to bring people together in various kinds of activities,because it is really efficient at regulating the bodily and emotional responses of large groups of participants.(音乐,可能从现代人类存在的最开始,就被用来把人们聚集在各种各样的活动中,因为它真的能有效地调节大群参与者的身体和情绪反应。)"可知,音乐在群体活动中的作用就是把人们聚集在一起。故选C.
26. C.推理判断题。根据第四段中" These two factors seem to suggest that musical preferences are formed unconsciously,without the listener being aware of it,but this is obviously not the case.Nothing is likely to be more important than our own subjective feeling at the time of listening. (这两个因素似乎表明,音乐偏好是在听者没有意识到的情况下无意识地形成的,但事实显然不是这样。没有什么比我们在聆听时的主观感受更重要了)"及"This is why when you want to study you might reach for something simple,without words.Or when you're trying to relax before bed you'll probably listen to something calming.They point to the fantastic power of music in our lives.(这就是为什么当你想学习时,你可能会选择一些简单的,没有语言的东西。或者当你想在睡前放松时,你可能会听一些让你平静的音乐。他们指出了音乐在我们生活中的神奇力量。)"可知,人们的主观感受在对音乐的喜好上起了重要的作用。故选C.
D篇
【主旨大意】本文介绍了受非洲象鼻鱼能感知附近物体能力的启发,科学家研发出一种新型人造传感器系统,阐述了其工作原理、优势及应用前景。
【语篇结构】
发明背景:说明非洲象鼻鱼的特殊能力,引出以此为灵感的人造传感器。
工作原理:介绍传感器多层结构及工作流程,包括发射器、接收器、控制器和微控制器的协同工作。
优势与前景:强调传感器轻薄灵活、定位精准、功耗低,有望应用于可穿戴技术领域。
【答案详解】
27 题答案:B。解析:第一段提到非洲象鼻鱼能在不看、不触摸的情况下探测到附近物体,科学家受此启发开发了一种人工传感器系统,所以第一段旨在展示一项新发明的灵感来源,B 选项正确;A 选项 “非洲鱼的特殊能力” 不是主要目的;C 选项 “定位物体的巨大挑战”、D 选项 “开发传感器的原因” 均不符合文意。
28题答案:A。解析:该人工传感器是多层结构。其中一层作为发射器,一旦激活就会产生电场,另一层作为接收器,用于检测物体的方向和距离。一个独立的控制器产生驱动信号以激活发射器。当物体进入传感器的范围内时,周围的电场会被干扰,这种干扰可以被接收器检测到。故选A。
29 题答案:C。解析:根据 “In contrast to the traditional sensor system that needs a large number of sensors to achieve spatial positioning, the new system can locate an object precisely in 3D space using just a few sensors.” 可知,新传感器系统在实现 3D 定位方面效率高,C 选项正确;A 选项 “对不同刺激的敏感性”、B 选项 “对环境变化的适应性” 文中未提及;D 选项 “数据收集和处理的速度” 不是新系统的优势。
30 题答案:B。解析:文章主要介绍了受生物启发开发的一种无需触摸就能感知的传感器,B 选项 “受生物启发的传感器:无需触摸就能‘感知’” 符合文意;A 选项 “机器侦探‘佩戴’柔性电子皮肤” 重点强调电子皮肤,偏离主题;C 选项 “电子皮肤传感器:机器学习的未来”、D 选项 “电场:物体检测的前沿” 均不能准确概括文章内容。
七选五
【答案】31. G 32. B 33. D 34. E 35. F
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了口红效应。
【31题详解】
由上文“In 2020, the world was plunged into an economic down turn as the COVID-19 pandemic caused widespread closures to businesses. (2020年,由于COVID-19大流行导致企业普遍关闭,世界陷入了经济衰退。)”可知,本空要说跟“经济衰退对人们影响”有关的话题,由后文“During such times of economic hardship, one may naturally expect that consumer markets will see a decline in expenditure, as people everywhere feel restricted to making only “essential” purchases. (在这样的经济困难时期,人们可能会自然地预期消费市场将看到支出的下降,因为各地的人们都感到只能购买“必需品”。)”可知,本句要表达经济衰退对人们消费态度的影响,故G选项“Under these circumstances, millions of people suddenly found themselves facing financial insecurity. (在这种情况下,数以百万计的人突然发现自己面临着经济上的不安全。)”能承上启下,符合题意。故选G。
【32题详解】
由上文“The lipstick effect refers to the phenomenon of consumers spending on small luxury goods even when an economic depression occurs. (“口红效应”是指即使经济不景气,消费者也会购买小型奢侈品的现象。)”可知,本空要说跟“购买小型奢侈品的原因”有关的话题,由后文“However, many still find the cash for purchases of small luxury items, such as lipstick. (然而,许多人仍然会用现金购买口红等小型奢侈品。)”可知,本句要与后文构成转折。故B选项“They do not have enough to spend on big-ticket luxury items. (他们没有足够的钱购买高价奢侈品。)”能承上启下,符合题意。故选B。
【33题详解】
由下文“First and perhaps most obviously, consumers may simply wish to give themselves treats now and again to provide distractions from their financial insecurity. Another theory has to do with labour markets. Specifically, during the economic depression, job seeking tends to become more competitive. Thus, people seeking employment may perceive a need to spend money on certain products to improve their physical appearance. (首先,或许也是最明显的一点是,消费者可能只是希望时不时地犒劳一下自己,以分散自己对财务不安全感的注意力。另一个理论与劳动力市场有关。具体来说,在经济萧条时期,求职的竞争变得更加激烈。因此,寻找工作的人可能会觉得有必要花钱购买某些产品来改善他们的外表。)”可知,本空要说跟“此类购买原因”有关的话题,故D选项“So, how exactly do consumers who are short of cash justify making such purchases? (那么,现金短缺的消费者究竟如何证明进行此类购买是合理的呢?)”能承接上文,符合题意。故选D。
【34题详解】
由上文“Thus, people seeking employment may perceive a need to spend money on certain products to improve their physical appearance. (因此,寻找工作的人可能会觉得有必要花钱购买某些产品来改善他们的外表。)”可知,本空要说跟“改善他们的外表的好处”有关的话题,故E选项“By using products such as lipstick, they may feel more confident during job interviews. (通过使用口红等产品,他们可能会在求职面试中感到更加自信。)”能承上启下,符合题意。故选E。
【35题详解】
由下文“During the global depression of 2007-2009, sales of cosmetic in the United States increased by around 5%. Based on such data, it seems that even in the current insecure economic climate, the luxury cosmetics industry is one that will be sticking around.(在2007-2009年的全球经济大萧条期间,美国化妆品的销售额增长了约5%。根据这些数据,即使在当前不稳定的经济环境下,奢侈品化妆品行业似乎也将继续存在。)”可知,本段既回顾了2007-2009年的事情,也降到了现在的经济状况下奢侈品化妆品的情况,故F选项“Whatever the causes of the lipstick effect, this phenomenon is no short-lived trend. (不管造成口红效应的原因是什么,这种现象都不是短暂的趋势。)”能符合文意。故选F。

On today’s blog post, I’ll be talking about my favorite magazines. I love reading books and magazines, and I’m learning so many useful tips about healthy living, daily life, etc.
Women’s Health

For example, it gives you the events that are happening near you. It gives you tips for the railway stations and other transportation choices.

B
Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a panoramic (全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.
Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.
Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I asked myself: “Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape?” Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. Finally, seeing she seemed so content in her observation, I made up my mind not to mess with that.
Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.
This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized (永存). To some extent, she lives in my house.
Perhaps we all live in each other’s spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, and that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, and for something that is greater than us.
That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.
19. How did the author feel when a stranger blocked her view after the first 15 minutes?
A. Sorrowful. B. Astonished. C. Angry. D. Hesitant.
20. According to the article, what might be the stranger doing at the top of the hill?
A. Reflecting on her past. B. Taking photos.
C. Enjoying herself. D. Losing her patience.
21. Why was the photo special to the author?
A. Because a stranger brought life to the photo.
B. Because the photo was hung in her bedroom.
C. Because a picturesque landscape was captured in the photo.
D. Because the photo in her house reminded her of the woman.

Our preference for this or that kind of music is obviously a subjective matter. It can also be highly unstable, changing not only during a lifetime, but even on a scale of months, or even days. Yet despite such variety, there are three factors that I think are the main contributors.
The first is how we were brought up, or the musical background which surrounded us in our formative years (性格形成时期). The kinds of music that we were exposed to when we were small helped to create very specific mental patterns.
However, even the most stable musical pattern can be changed by socio-cultural concerns, and these form the second contribution to our musical preferences. Music, probably from the very beginning of the existence of modern humans, has been used to bring people together in various kinds of activities, because it is really efficient at regulating (调节) the bodily and emotional responses of large groups of participants. Whether you’re into heavy metal, or hip hop, or jazz, your preferences are guided in part by your desire to be a member of some social circle.
These two factors seem to suggest that musical preferences are formed unconsciously, without the listener being aware of it, but this is obviously not the case. Nothing is likely to be more important than our own subjective feeling at the time of listening. Especially today, with nearly unlimited access to all styles of music, we use music as a tool for regulating our emotions and moods. This is why when you want to study you might reach for something simple, without words. Or when you’re trying to relax before bed you’ll probably listen to something calming. They point to the fantastic power of music in our lives.
23. In writing paragraph 1, the author aims to .
A. present some examples B. make a comparison
C. list a few reasons D. lead in the topic
24. According to paragraph 1, people’s preferences for music are .
A. interesting and subjective B. personal and changeable

25. What is the function of music in a group activity?
A. It can make people familiar with a certain culture. B. It can make people calm down.
C. It can bring people together. D. It can create specific mental patterns.
26. What could be inferred from paragraph 4?
A. While reading, people are more likely to prefer rap music.
B. Preferences for music are totally decided by uncontrolled factors.
C. Subjective feeling plays an important role in people’s musical preferences.
D. Musical preferences are formed unconsciously.

The ability to detect a nearby presence without seeing or touching it may sound fantastical — but it’s a real ability that some creatures have. A family of African fish known as Momyrids are weakly electric, and have special organs that can locate a nearby target, even when it’s hiding in the mud. Scientists have now developed an artificial sensor system modelled on the ability of these fish.
“We developed a new strategy for 3D motion positioning by electronic skin, bio-inspired by ‘electric fish,’” says Dr. Xinge Yu, an associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Eagineering at the City University of Hong Kong. The team described their e-skin sensor in a paper published on November 14 in Nature.
The artificial sensor is multi-layered. One layer acts as a transmitter (发射器), which will generate an electric field once activated, and another layer acts as a receiver to detect both the direction and the distance to an object. A separate controller creates the driving signal to activate the transmitter. When an object comes within range, the electric field around the sensor is disrupted, which in turn can be detected by the receiver. This data is then processed by a microcontroller unit, which computes the position of the target object and sends that information to a smartphone or other devices.
A special biogel (生物凝胶) is used in the sensor, which has the ability to transmit and receive electric signals from a pattern of microchannels on the surface. The end result is a sensor that is thin, soft and flexible, making it easy to adapt to irregular surfaces, such as the human body. In contrast to the traditional sensor system that needs a large number of sensors to achieve spatial positioning, the new system can locate an object precisely in 3D space using just a few sensors. This significantly reduces the power consumption of data collection, transmission, and processing.
The researchers hope that this sensor could one day open up a new range of wearable technologies, including sensors for human-machine interaction and thin, flexible e-skin.
27. The first paragraph aims to show _________.
A. the special ability of African fish B. the inspiration for a new invention
C. the big challenge of locating objects D. the reason for developing a sensor
28. What does the underlined word “disrupted” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. disturb B. arrange C. enhance D. stabilize
29. What is an advantage of the new sensor system?
A. Its sensitivity to different stimulations.
B. Its adaptation to environmental changes.
C. Its efficiency in achieving 3D positioning.
D. Its speed in data collection and processing.
30. What is the best title for the text?
A. Machine Detective “Wears” Flexible E-skin
B. Bio-inspired Sensor “Feels” Without Touching
C. E-Skin Sensor: The Future of Machine Learning
D. Electric Fields: The Frontier of Object Detection

The Lipstick Effect
In 2020, the world fell into an economic downturn as the COVID-19 pandemic caused widespread closures to businesses. 31 During such times of economic hardship, one may naturally expect that consumer markets will see a decline in expenditure (支出), as people everywhere feel restricted to making only “essential” purchases. However, a curious phenomenon known as the “lipstick effect” can often be observed.
The lipstick effect refers to the phenomenon of consumers spending on small luxury goods even when an economic depression occurs. 32 However, many still find the cash for purchases of small luxury items, such as lipstick. This phenomenon was termed the “lipstick effect” in 2001 by Leonard Lauder, chairman of luxury cosmetic company Estée Lauder. He had not only witnessed the phenomenon at work but also realized that it was especially evident in the case of lipstick and other cosmetic products.
33 First and perhaps most obviously, consumers may simply wish to give themselves treats now and again to provide distractions from their financial insecurity. Another theory has to do with labour markets. Specifically, during the economic depression, job seeking tends to become more competitive. Thus, people seeking employment may perceive a need to spend money on certain products to improve their physical appearance. 34
35 During the global depression of 2007-2009, sales of cosmetic in the United States increased by around 5%. Based on such data, it seems that even in the current insecure economic climate, the luxury cosmetics industry is one that will be sticking around.
A. What does lipstick tell us about the economy?
B. They do not have enough to spend on big-ticket luxury items.
C. The lipstick effect is a behavior that reflects economic conditions and emotional states.
D. So, how exactly do consumers who are short of cash justify making such purchases?
E. By using products such as lipstick, they may feel more confident during job interviews.
F. Whatever the causes of the lipstick effect, this phenomenon is no short-lived trend.
G. Under these circumstances, millions of people suddenly found themselves facing financial insecurity.

The art of living is to know when to hold fast and when to let go. Many people 36 it this way, “A man comes to this world with his fist clenched (紧握), but when he dies, his hand is 37 .”

One morning, I had to have some additional tests. The required machines were located in a building at the opposite end of the hospital, so I had to be 43 across the courtyard on a gurney, a kind of movable bed in hospital.
As we 44 from our unit, the sunlight hit me. That’s 45 . And yet how beautiful it was — how warming, how sparkling, how brilliant!
I looked to see whether anyone else enjoyed the sun’s golden glow, but everyone was 46 to and fro, most with eyes fixed on the ground. Then I remembered how often we had been 47 to the beauty of each day, and too caught up in routine duties. Life’s gifts are 48 — but we always pay no attention to them.
Never too busy for the wonder and the awe of life. Embrace each hour, 49 each golden minute. Hold fast to life… but not so fast that you can’t let go. We must 50 our losses, and learn how to let go.

During this past year, I’ve had three instances of car trouble. Each time these things happened, I was sick of the way most people hadn’t bothered to help. One of those times, I was on the side of the road for close to three hours with my big Jeep. I put signs in the windows, big signs that said NEED A JACK (千斤顶), and offered money. Nothing. Right as I was about to give up, a Mexican family in a small truck pulled over, and the father bounded out.
He sized up the situation and called for his daughter, who spoke English. He conveyed through her that he had a jack but that it was too small for the Jeep, so we would need something to support it. Then he got a saw (锯子) from the truck and cut a section out of a big log on the side of the road. We rolled it over and put his jack on top, and we were in business.
I started taking the wheel off, and then, if you can believe it, I broke his tire iron. No worries: He handed it to his wife, and she was gone in a flash down the road to buy a new tire iron. She was back in 15 minutes. We finished the job, and I was a very happy man.
The two of us were dirty and sweaty. His wife prepared a pot of water for us to wash our hands. I tried to put a $20 bill in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so instead I went up to the truck and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could. I asked the little girl where they lived. Mexico, she said. They were in Oregon, so Mommy and Daddy could work on a fruit farm for the next few weeks. Then they would go home.
When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch.___________________
