A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了费尔伍德湖度假公园内的豪华浮动湖畔小屋，包括小屋的设施、住宿价格、相关规定等信息，旨在吸引游客前来入住。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The Lodge can accommodate up to 4 people thanks to its double bed and bunk bed.(小屋有一张双人床和一张双层床，最多可容纳 4 人)”可知，小屋有供四人使用的床铺。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Accommodation Prices”部分可知，住4晚的价格是£620，再根据 “Please note there is an additional £60 charge per dog per stay in Eider.(请注意，在艾德每次入住每只狗需额外收费60英镑)”可知，带一只狗需额外支付£60，所以总共需支付 £620 + £60 = £680。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Rules”部分“Dogs must be kept under control, on a lead and accompanied by a responsible adult at all times.(狗必须始终处于控制之下，系上牵引绳，并由一名有责任心的成年人陪同)” 可知，入住期间游客不得让狗自由奔跑。故选A。 B “Lei ming m ming baak ngo gong ge waa ah? Do you understand what I am saying?” I stare back at the speaker blankly, my lips parted, the ideas clear in my mind but a response unable to express itself in a language in my distant range. After an uncomfortable pause, a few words came out of my mouth, sounding forced and unnatural. The anecdote (轶事) above is a semi-conversation I had in Malaysia years ago. A three-week stay in Malaysia once every few years was often the best part of my summers - what more can you ask from a food heaven? But besides the family, food, and escape that Malaysia offered, trips also brought mixed feelings of guilt (愧疚) that I just couldn’t seem to translate. For one month every few summers, I got a taste of what it feels to be an outsider in my own culture, looking in. I was a girl lost in translation, quietly absorbing the various tongues shouted in the wet markets, and nodding along at my grandparents’ huge family dinners. In America though, I am a different person. I don’t think twice about my grammar when speaking. I don’t struggle with the words and fear that my stories won’t get through to people. So as a native English speaker, I do not have to worry daily about whether I’m judged for having an accent or whether I’m misunderstood across languages. In Malaysia, I naturally burst out “have you eaten?” instead of recalling the Malaysian expressions “you makan already?” In Malaysia, everything about the way I speak — my accent, intonation, sentence structure, slang — gives me away. My American-ness is seen in the way I talk, dress, and act. Maybe my face could pass for a Malaysian local, but once I open my mouth to speak I am so clearly not. It is uncomfortable and awkward, and sometimes I wonder if I did not look Asian at all would it be better, since there would be no more language expectation for me than for a white tourist. 4. Which of the following can best describe the author in the anecdote? A. Awkward. B. Anxious. C. Confident. D. Upset. 5. What made the author feel guilty according to Paragraph 2? A. Enjoying Malaysian food too much. B. Short visits causing family distance. C. Failing to translate dialects at markets. D. Cultural disconnect during family time. 6. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The author avoids speaking in Malaysia. B. The author feels trapped by language. C. The author prefers American identity. D. The author’s face causes confusion. 7. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Food culture in Malaysia. B. A girl between two cultures. C. Challenges from learning Malay language. D. Differences between American and Malaysian cultures. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述在马来西亚因语言和文化差异感到隔阂，在美国则自如，展现其在两种文化间的挣扎与身份困境。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I stare back at the speaker blankly, my lips parted, the ideas clear in my mind but a response unable to express itself in a language in my distant range. After an uncomfortable pause, a few words came out of my mouth, sounding forced and unnatural.(我茫然地盯着演讲者，嘴唇张开，脑海中的想法很清晰，但我无法用远处的语言表达出来。在一段不舒服的停顿之后，我嘴里说了几句话，听起来很勉强，很不自然。)”可知，作者在轶事场景中表现出明显的尴尬。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But besides the family, food, and escape that Malaysia offered, trips also brought mixed feelings of guilt (愧疚) that I just couldn’t seem to translate. For one month every few summers, I got a taste of what it feels to be an outsider in my own culture, looking in. (但除了马来西亚提供的家庭、食物和度假之外，旅行也带来了复杂的内疚感，我似乎无法翻译。每隔几个夏天，我都会有一个月的时间来体验作为自己文化中的局外人的感觉。)”可知，作者的愧疚源于在家庭团聚时无法融入文化，产生疏离感。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In Malaysia, everything about the way I speak — my accent, intonation, sentence structure, slang — gives me away. My American-ness is seen in the way I talk, dress, and act. Maybe my face could pass for a Malaysian local, but once I open my mouth to speak I am so clearly not. It is uncomfortable and awkward, and sometimes I wonder if I did not look Asian at all would it be better, since there would be no more language expectation for me than for a white tourist.(在马来西亚，我说话的方式——我的口音、语调、句子结构、俚语——都暴露了我。我的美国风格体现在我的言谈、穿着和行为上。也许我的脸可以被误认为是马来西亚当地人，但一旦我开口说话，我就很明显不是了。这让我感到不舒服和尴尬，有时我想知道，如果我一点也不看亚洲人，那会更好吗，因为对我来说，没有比白人游客更多的语言期望了。)”可推断，作者因语言差异无法被当地文化接纳，感到被困在两种身份之间。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，全文通过作者在马来西亚因语言和文化差异产生的隔阂，以及在美国作为母语者的自如，展现了她在两种文化间的挣扎与身份认同困境。所以B选项A girl between two cultures.(夹缝中的双文化女孩) 涵盖核心矛盾。故选B项。 C We started Micro-Farms because we believe that fresh food is the best way to feed people. Our farms provide the freshest produce available for our customers by making it easy to grow on site all year round, letting you enjoy nutritional and sustainable produce every day. Our platform takes farming to the next level, using cutting-edge technology that is designed to be user-friendly. Our Micro-Farms has simplified the process of vertical farming (垂直农业), so you can grow fresh sustainable produce anywhere all year round at the touch of a button. A single micro-farm takes up only 15 square feet, but has the productivity of around 2,000 square feet of outdoor farmland. And since each farm is remotely managed by our team, anyone can grow amazing produce no matter their level of skill. To get started, tell us what your favorite produce items are, and we’ll create a tailored growing program for you and you can start enjoying fresh food all year. Operating your farm is simple and easy. You choose from our wide selection of salad mixes, herbs, flowers and micro-greens, and we’ll deliver them to you ahead of time and ready to grow. Your personal account manager will make sure you have everything you need, from helping you install (安装) the app on your phone to providing your seeds. When your seed packets arrive, all you have to do is place them into your farm and scan their codes using the app. Once you scan a crop, the app will take over managing a unique growth recipe for that specific crop and let you know when to transplant and harvest. Micro-Farms makes scheduling harvests easy, while your personal account manager ensures you get the most value from your investment through custom programs. You can create a unique engaging community and team-building experiences, host special events and enjoy seasonal menus. After harvest, Micro-Farms will send you new seeds and supplies to keep your farm running at maximum productivity. We can connect multiple farms to scale productivity to suit your specific needs. The farms work together in harmony through the Cloud to provide reliable yields all year around. 8. Why was Micro-Farms started? A. To grow micro-greens. B. To use technology in farming. C. To make farming easy for people. D. To supply people the freshest produce. 9. Which of the following is Not a feature of Micro-Farms? A. Small footprint. B. High productivity. C. Remote management. D. Outdoor space requirement. 10. What does the underlined word “scale” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Measure. B. Reduce. C. Balance. D. Increase. 11. What role does the personal account manager play for clients of Micro-Farms? A. Installs the app. B. Delivers seeds. C. Schedules harvests. D. Manages custom programs. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了“微型农场（Micro - Farms）”的创办理念、农场特点、运营方式以及为客户提供的服务等内容。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“We started Micro-Farms because we believe that fresh food is the best way to feed people.(我们创办微型农场是因为我们相信新鲜食品是喂养人们的最佳方式。)”可知，创办微型农场的原因是为了给人们提供新鲜的农产品。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“A single micro-farm takes up only 15 square feet, but has the productivity of around 2,000 square feet of outdoor farmland. And since each farm is remotely managed by our team, anyone can grow amazing produce no matter their level of skill.(一个微型农场仅占地15平方英尺，但其生产力相当于约2000平方英尺的户外农田。而且由于每个农场都由我们的团队进行远程管理，所以任何人都可以种植出令人惊叹的农产品，无论他们的技能水平如何。)”可知，微型农场占地面积小、生产力高、远程管理，D选项“outdoor space requirement(户外空间需求)”不是微型农场的特征。故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词下文“to suit your specific needs(以满足你特定的需求)”以及“The farms work together in harmony through the Cloud to provide reliable yields all year around.(这些农场通过云端和谐协作，全年提供可靠的产量。)”可知，微型农场通过云端和谐协作，所以可以根据客户的特定需求扩大生产力，由此可知，scale意思是“增加”。A. Measure.测量；B. Reduce.减少；C. Balance.平衡；D. Increase.增加。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Micro-Farms makes scheduling harvests easy, while your personal account manager ensures you get the most value from your investment through custom programs.(微型农场让收获计划变得容易，而你的个人客户经理通过定制项目确保你从投资中获得最大价值。)”可知，个人客户经理通过定制项目为客户管理定制项目。故选D。 D While many of us may have been away somewhere nice last summer, few would say that we’ve “summered. ” “Summer” is clearly a noun, more exactly, a verbed noun. Way back in our childhood, we all learned the difference between a noun and a verb. With such a clear definition, it was easy to spot the difference. Not so in adulthood, where we are expected to “foot” bills, “chair” committees, and “dialogue” with political opponents(对手). Chances are you didn’t feel uncomfortable about the sight of those verbed nouns. “The verbing of nouns is as old as the English language,” says Patricia O’Conner, a former editor at The New York Times Book Review. Experts guess that 20 percent of all English verbs were originally nouns. And the phenomenon seems to be snowballing. Since 1900, about 40 percent of all new verbs have come from nouns. Even though conversion(转化) is quite common, plenty of grammarians object to the practice. William Strunk Jr. and E.B. White, in The Elements of Style-the Bible for the use of American English-have this to say: “Many nouns lately have been pressed into service as verbs. Not all are bad, but all are questionable.” The Chicago Manual of Style takes a similar standpoint, advising writers to use verbs with great care. “Sometimes people object to a new verb because they dislike what is unfamiliar to them,” says O’Conner. That’s why we’re comfortable “hosting” a party, but we might feel upset by the thought of “medaling” in sports. So are there any rules for verbing? Benjamin Dreyer, copy chief at Random House, doesn’t offer a rule, but suggests that people think twice about “verbifiing” a noun if it’s easily replaceable by an already existing popular verb. Make sure it’s descriptive but not silly-sounding, he says. In the end, however, style is subjective(主观的). Easy conversion of nouns to verbs has been part of English grammar for centuries; it is one of the processes that make English “English.” Not every coinage (新创的词语) passes into general use, but as for trying to end verbing altogether, forget it. 12. What can we learn about the verbing of nouns from the first three paragraphs? A. It is more accepted by adults. B. It started in the 19th century. C. It is a modern phenomenon. D. It originally made up 40% of verbs. 13. What is many experts’ attitude towards the practice of the verbing of nouns? A. Cautious(谨慎的). B. Supportive. C. Negative. D. Unconcerned. 14. What does the author think of ending the verbing of nouns? A. Unimportant. B. Worthwhile. C. Impossible. D. Practical. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Do adults accept noun verbing? B. Should we give up noun verbing? C. Is noun verbing a new phenomenon? D. Are Summering and Medaling Annoying? 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章对英语语言中“名词动用”这一语言现象展开讨论，以例子的形式介绍了一些基本的用法，主要分享了专家们对此的谨慎态度，部分人士的反对观点，以及作者认为这一现象不可遏制的想法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Not so in adulthood, where we are expected to “foot”bills, “chair”committees, and “dialogue”with political opponents(对手). Chances are you didn’t feel uncomfortable about the sight of those verbed nouns. (但在成年后的生活中并非如此，在这种语境里，我们需要“支付（foot）”账单、“主持（chair）”委员会，还要与政治对手“对话（dialogue）”。看到这些名词用作动词的情况，你很可能并不会感到不适。)”可知，成年人对名词动用现象接受度较高。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“William Strunk Jr. and E.B. White, in The Elements of Style-the Bible for the use of American English-have this to say: “Many nouns lately have been pressed into service as verbs. Not all are bad, but all are questionable.” The Chicago Manual of Style takes a similar standpoint, advising writers to use verbs with great care. (小威廉姆·斯特伦克和E.B.怀特在《文体要素》——美国英语使用的圣经中这样说：“近来，许多名词被用作动词。不是所有的都是坏的，但所有的都值得怀疑。”《芝加哥文体手册》也持类似观点，建议写作者谨慎使用动词。)”可知，专家们是怀疑地审视名词被用作动词这一现象，建议写作者谨慎使用。由此可知，他们对此持谨慎的态度。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Easy conversion of nouns to verbs has been part of English grammar for centuries; it is one of the processes that make English “English.” Not every coinage (新创词语) passes into general use, but as for trying to end verbing altogether, forget it. (几个世纪以来，名词到动词的轻松转化一直是英语语法的一部分；它是使英语成为“英语”的过程之一。并不是每一个新造的词都会被普遍使用，但至于试图完全停止使用动词，还是算了吧)”可推知，作者认为名词被用作动词这一现象是英语语言发展必不可少的一部分，结束这一用法是不可能的。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章围绕英语语言中“名词动用”这一语言现象展开，首先以例子的形式介绍了一些基本的用法，然后主要分享了专家们对此的谨慎态度，部分人士的反对观点，以及作者认为这一现象不可遏制的想法。因此，B选项“Summering和Medaling很讨厌吗？”贴合文意，用文章中名词动用的两个典型用语Summering和Medaling来进行概括，适合作为标题。故选D项。 第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分 12.5分) 根据下面短文，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。 Below are what will have happened by the mid-point of this century-both for good and bad. Right now, people are focused on AI potentially causing job losses.____16____ George Stakhov said, “By 2050, AI will have profoundly reshaped the world. It is very likely that there is a dark AI future where those who control AI will gain huge power, while 99 percent of the population will be deprived of their rights. The AI masters will control the world’s data and turn the rest of us into their slaves. ____17____ In that case, everyone benefits from AI through better healthcare, faster transport and less pollution.” Futurist and former Google engineer Ray Kurzweil says that people will have integrated with machines by 2025 and predicts that by 2045, people will have connected their brains to machines, integrating with the intelligence created. ____18____ ____19____ That means we could be in contact with aliens. Shostak said that newer measurements suggest that there could be billions of Earth-like worlds. That may be the strongest argument for life in space. Rising humidity (湿度) and heat will lead to heatwaves where it is almost impossible for humans to survive in areas including South Asia and the Red Sea.____20____ Humans can survive temperatures of up to 50 ℃ when humidity is low, but in high humidity, humans cannot survive because there is no way to cool down by sweating. Even extremely strong and fit people die within hours. Large areas of the Earth might be uninhabitable. A. The alternative is a bright AI prospect. B. However, the reality could be far worse. C. Actually, AI brings far more benefits than harm. D. This means that the Earth is the only place with life. E. By 2070, this will also be true in areas of Brazil and China. F. Thus, people will increase their effective intelligence a billion-fold. G. Alien-hunting astronomer Shostak bets we should find aliens within two dozen years. 【答案】16. B 17. A 18. F 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了到本世纪中叶可能会出现的好坏不同的情况。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Right now, people are focused on AI potentially causing job losses.(现在，人们关注的是人工智能可能导致失业。)”和下文“George Stakhov said, By 2050, AI will have profoundly reshaped the world. It is very likely that there is a dark AI future where those who control AI will gain huge power, while 99 percent of the population will be deprived of their rights.(乔治·斯塔霍夫说：到2050年，人工智能将深刻地重塑世界。很有可能存在一个黑暗的人工智能未来，控制人工智能的人将获得巨大的权力，而99%的人口将被剥夺权利。)”可知，上文提到现在人们关注的是人工智能可能导致失业，下文提到了乔治·斯塔霍夫说，到2050年人工智能将深刻地重塑世界，很有可能会存在一个黑暗的人工智能未来，所以此处说的是现实情况可能会更糟，B选项“However, the reality could be far worse.(然而，现实可能会更糟。)”符合语境。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据上文“It is very likely that there is a dark AI future where those who control AI will gain huge power, while 99 percent of the population will be deprived of their rights. The AI masters will control the world’s data and turn the rest of us into their slaves.(很有可能存在一个黑暗的人工智能未来，控制人工智能的人将获得巨大的权力，而99%的人口将被剥夺权利。人工智能大师将控制世界的数据，把我们其他人变成他们的奴隶。)”和下文“In that case, everyone benefits from Al through better healthcare, faster transport and less pollution.(在这种情况下，每个人都可以通过更好的医疗保健、更快的交通和更少的污染从人工智能中受益。)”可知，上文提到了一个黑暗的人工智能未来，下文提到了在这种情况下，每个人都可以通过更好的医疗保健、更快的交通和更少的污染从人工智能中受益，所以此处说的是一个光明的人工智能未来，A选项“The alternative is a bright AI prospect.(另一种选择是光明的人工智能前景。)”符合语境。故选A。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Futurist and former Google engineer Ray Kurzweil says that people will have integrated with machines by 2025 and predicts that by 2045, people will have connected their brains to machines, integrating with the intelligence created.(未来学家、前谷歌工程师雷·库兹韦尔表示，到2025年，人类将与机器融合，并预测到2045年，人类将把大脑连接到机器上，与创造的智能融合。)”可知，上文提到了人类将与机器融合，与创造的智能融合，所以此处说的是这将提高人类的智能，F选项“Thus, people will increase their effective intelligence a billion-fold.(因此，人们将把他们的有效智力提高数十亿倍。)”说明了人类将与机器融合，与创造的智能融合的结果，承接上文，符合语境。故选F。 【19题详解】 根据下文“That means we could be in contact with aliens.(这意味着我们可以与外星人接触。)”可知，下文提到了这意味着我们可以与外星人接触，所以此处说的是我们可能会发现外星人，G选项“Alien-hunting astronomer Shostak bets we should find aliens within two dozen years.(寻找外星人的天文学家肖斯塔克打赌说，我们应该在24年内找到外星人。)”引出下文，符合语境。故选G。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Rising humidity (湿度) and heat will lead to heatwaves where it is almost impossible for humans to survive in areas including South Asia and the Red Sea.(不断上升的湿度和热量将导致热浪，使得包括南亚和红海在内的地区几乎不可能有人类生存。)”和下文“Humans can survive temperatures of up to 50 ℃ when humidity is low, but in high humidity, humans cannot survive because there is no way to cool down by sweating.(当湿度较低时，人类可以在高达50摄氏度的温度下生存，但在高湿度下，人类无法生存，因为没有办法通过出汗来降温。)”可知，上文提到了不断上升的湿度和热量将导致热浪，使得包括南亚和红海在内的地区几乎不可能有人类生存，下文提到了在高湿度下，人类无法生存，E选项“By 2070, this will also be true in areas of Brazil and China.(到2070年，巴西和中国的一些地区也将出现这种情况。)”符合语境。故选E。 第三部分：语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A heartwarming video from the Manchester Marathon reminds us all not to compare ourselves to anyone else.

What a proud moment.”和下文“positive encouragement”可推知，评论区只有积极的鼓励，没有其他负面的内容。故选C项。 【27题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：人们真的对她完成了曼彻斯特马拉松比赛印象深刻，不管她是第一名还是最后一名。A. satisfied满意的；B. impressed印象深刻的；C. fascinated着迷的；D. embarrassed尴尬的。上文“positive encouragement”表明人们对她完成比赛这件事给予积极的反馈，说明人们是印象深刻的，“impressed”符合这种情况。故选B项。 【28题详解】 考查介词短语辨析。句意：人们真的对她完成了曼彻斯特马拉松比赛印象深刻，不管她是第一名还是最后一名。A. regardless of不管，不顾；B. instead of而不是；C. in addition to除……之外；D. due to由于。上文强调人们对她完成比赛印象深刻，结合下文“whether she came in first or last.”可知，这里要表达的是不考虑她的名次，介词“regardless of”构成让步状语，能体现这种不关注名次的态度。故选A项。 【29题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：另一个人补充道：“最后一个冲过终点线的人比数百万甚至没有开始的人领先。”A. measure测量；B. complete完成；C. make制作；D. start开始。根据上文描述琳达完成了比赛，这里将她和“the millions who didn’t even”进行对比，结合“cross that line”可知，是和那些没开始比赛的人相比。故选D项。 【30题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：不仅仅是琳达的成就让这个故事鼓舞人心，尽管完成曼彻斯特马拉松真的是一项伟大的壮举。A. confusing令人困惑的；B. exciting令人兴奋的；C. inspiring鼓舞人心的；D. surprising令人惊讶的。下文“she still crossed the finish line, and everyone was still extremely proud of her”说明她坚持完成比赛的事迹让大家为她骄傲，这种精神是鼓舞人心的，“inspiring”符合故事所传达的特质。故选C项。 【31题详解】 考查形容词比较级辨析。句意：尽管她比其他跑步者花的时间长了一点，但她还是冲过了终点线，每个人仍然为她感到非常骄傲。A. longer更长；B. farther更远；C. sooner更早；D. later更晚。上文提到“Lynda Elmore may have come in last during the race”，说明她是最后一名，也就意味着她比其他选手花的时间长，“longer”符合这种时间上的比较。故选A项。 【32题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：更重要的是，她为自己感到骄傲。A. fortunately幸运地；B. importantly重要地；C. occasionally偶尔；D. particularly特别地。上文提到“everyone was still extremely proud of her”，大家为她骄傲，而下文强调“she was proud of herself”，她自己为自己骄傲这件事更具有重要意义，“importantly”能体现这种重要性的递进。故选B项。 【33题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：琳达用她积极榜样传递了多么美好的信息啊！A. soul灵魂；B. wish愿望；C. message信息；D. attitude态度。结合上文对琳达完成比赛以及大家对她的肯定和赞扬等内容可知，她的事迹传递出一种积极的信息，鼓励人们为自己的成就骄傲，“message”符合这种传递的内容。故选C项。 【34题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：永远记得为自己的成就给予肯定，即使你没有像预期的那样快地实现目标。A. support支持；B. pressure压力；C. strength力量；D. credit赞扬，肯定。“give oneself credit for”是固定表达，表示“为……给予自己肯定”，结合上文琳达完成比赛并为自己骄傲的事例，这里强调要为自己的成就自我肯定。故选D项。 【35题详解】 考查连词词义辨析。句意：永远记得为自己的成就给予肯定，即使你没有像预期的那样快地实现目标。A. even if即使；B. as long as只要；C. as if好像；D. as far as就……而言。上文说要为自己的成就给予肯定，这里“you don’t reach your goals as quickly as you expected”是一种让步情况，即即便没有快速实现目标，也要肯定自己，“even if”符合这种让步关系。故选A项。 非选择题部分 第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 At the 2024 Spring Festival Gala, a breathtaking performance, with robots dancing as ____36____ (grace) as humans, stole the show, blending cutting-edge technology with ____37____ (art) beauty.

Do you understand what I am saying?” I stare back at the speaker blankly, my lips parted, the ideas clear in my mind but a response unable to express itself in a language in my distant range. After an uncomfortable pause, a few words came out of my mouth, sounding forced and unnatural. The anecdote (轶事) above is a semi-conversation I had in Malaysia years ago. A three-week stay in Malaysia once every few years was often the best part of my summers - what more can you ask from a food heaven? But besides the family, food, and escape that Malaysia offered, trips also brought mixed feelings of guilt (愧疚) that I just couldn’t seem to translate. For one month every few summers, I got a taste of what it feels to be an outsider in my own culture, looking in. I was a girl lost in translation, quietly absorbing the various tongues shouted in the wet markets, and nodding along at my grandparents’ huge family dinners. In America though, I am a different person. I don’t think twice about my grammar when speaking. I don’t struggle with the words and fear that my stories won’t get through to people. So as a native English speaker, I do not have to worry daily about whether I’m judged for having an accent or whether I’m misunderstood across languages. In Malaysia, I naturally burst out “have you eaten?” instead of recalling the Malaysian expressions “you makan already?” In Malaysia, everything about the way I speak — my accent, intonation, sentence structure, slang — gives me away. My American-ness is seen in the way I talk, dress, and act. Maybe my face could pass for a Malaysian local, but once I open my mouth to speak I am so clearly not. It is uncomfortable and awkward, and sometimes I wonder if I did not look Asian at all would it be better, since there would be no more language expectation for me than for a white tourist. 4. Which of the following can best describe the author in the anecdote? A. Awkward. B. Anxious. C. Confident. D. Upset. 5. What made the author feel guilty according to Paragraph 2? A. Enjoying Malaysian food too much. B. Short visits causing family distance. C. Failing to translate dialects at markets. D. Cultural disconnect during family time. 6. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The author avoids speaking in Malaysia. B The author feels trapped by language. C. The author prefers American identity. D. The author’s face causes confusion. 7. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Food culture in Malaysia. B. A girl between two cultures. C. Challenges from learning Malay language. D. Differences between American and Malaysian cultures. C We started Micro-Farms because we believe that fresh food is the best way to feed people.

Your personal account manager will make sure you have everything you need, from helping you install (安装) the app on your phone to providing your seeds. When your seed packets arrive, all you have to do is place them into your farm and scan their codes using the app. Once you scan a crop, the app will take over managing a unique growth recipe for that specific crop and let you know when to transplant and harvest. Micro-Farms makes scheduling harvests easy, while your personal account manager ensures you get the most value from your investment through custom programs. You can create a unique engaging community and team-building experiences, host special events and enjoy seasonal menus.

D While many of us may have been away somewhere nice last summer, few would say that we’ve “summered. ” “Summer” is clearly a noun, more exactly, a verbed noun. Way back in our childhood, we all learned the difference between a noun and a verb. With such a clear definition, it was easy to spot the difference. Not so in adulthood, where we are expected to “foot” bills, “chair” committees, and “dialogue” with political opponents(对手). Chances are you didn’t feel uncomfortable about the sight of those verbed nouns. “The verbing of nouns is as old as the English language,” says Patricia O’Conner, a former editor at The New York Times Book Review. Experts guess that 20 percent of all English verbs were originally nouns. And the phenomenon seems to be snowballing. Since 1900, about 40 percent of all new verbs have come from nouns. Even though conversion(转化) is quite common, plenty of grammarians object to the practice. William Strunk Jr. and E.B. White, in The Elements of Style-the Bible for the use of American English-have this to say: “Many nouns lately have been pressed into service as verbs. Not all are bad, but all are questionable.” The Chicago Manual of Style takes a similar standpoint, advising writers to use verbs with great care. “Sometimes people object to a new verb because they dislike what is unfamiliar to them,” says O’Conner. That’s why we’re comfortable “hosting” a party, but we might feel upset by the thought of “medaling” in sports. So are there any rules for verbing? Benjamin Dreyer, copy chief at Random House, doesn’t offer a rule, but suggests that people think twice about “verbifiing” a noun if it’s easily replaceable by an already existing popular verb. Make sure it’s descriptive but not silly-sounding, he says. In the end, however, style is subjective(主观的). Easy conversion of nouns to verbs has been part of English grammar for centuries; it is one of the processes that make English “English.” Not every coinage (新创的词语) passes into general use, but as for trying to end verbing altogether, forget it. 12. What can we learn about the verbing of nouns from the first three paragraphs? A. It is more accepted by adults. B. It started in the 19th century. C. It is a modern phenomenon. D. It originally made up 40% of verbs. 13. What is many experts’ attitude towards the practice of the verbing of nouns? A. Cautious(谨慎的). B. Supportive. C. Negative. D. Unconcerned. 14. What does the author think of ending the verbing of nouns? A. Unimportant. B. Worthwhile. C. Impossible. D. Practical. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Do adults accept noun verbing? B. Should we give up noun verbing? C. Is noun verbing a new phenomenon? D.
