It’s the sugar for us to taste, and the painting for us to admire. In the Warring States Period (战国时代), the ancient (古代的) people loved sweets and developed ways of making sugar. In the Tang Dynasty, there was great progress in the technology of sugar making. And sugar, the precious product once only served to the emperors and princes (王子), also went into common people’s homes. With the cultural and economic (经济的) development of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, people became less interested in only tasting sweetness. In the Ming Dynasty, some people added pictures with good luck to the bowl of sugar, and sugar painting appeared. Sugar painting is different from normal painting. Sugar painters (画师) use syrup (糖浆) as the material, a spoon as the “paintbrush”, and a smooth (平滑的) table as the “paper”. To make syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting. Since syrup may become hard if it cools, the painters have to produce the work very quickly. They move the spoon full of syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting is made. However, it’s a pity (遗憾) that this folk art is dying recently. The sugar painting that used to be rich in shapes has become poorer and poorer because of fewer needs. What’s worse, few people seem to be willing to pass on the art except those old sugar painters. For most people, painting is a kind of art and difficult to understand. However, sugar painting has pulled the art down into people’s daily lives. Now, sugar painting has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in China. Therefore, the art should be remembered, missed and passed on. 31. What does the underlined word “precious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Valuable (有价值的) and expensive. B. Useful and cheap. C. Special but worthless (不值得的). D. Simple but priceless (无价的). 32. When did sugar painting appear? A. In the Warring States Period. B. In the Tang Dynasty. C. In the Yuan Dynasty. D. In the Ming Dynasty 33. Why should sugar painters make the work very quickly? A. To show their excellent skills. B. To avoid syrup becoming hard. C. To protect the spoon and the table. D. To cut down people’s waiting time. 34. What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards today’s sugar painting according to Paragraph 4? A. Surprised. B. Afraid. C. Worried. D. Hopeful. 35. Which can be the best title for the passage? A. Exploring (探索) the Art of Sugar Painting. B. Improving the Taste of Sugar Painting. C. Effects (影响) of the Sugar Making Technology. D. Ways to Change the Future of Sugar Painting 【答案】31. A 32. D 33. B 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了糖画的起源、制作方法与文化意义，强调其作为非物质文化遗产的价值，并呼吁社会关注和传承这一濒临消失的传统艺术。 【31题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段“And sugar, the precious product once only served to the emperors and princes (王子), also went into common people’s homes.”可知，糖曾经只供帝王和王子享用，说明它是有价值且昂贵的。故选A。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In the Ming Dynasty, some people added pictures with good luck to the bowl of sugar, and sugar painting appeared.”可知，糖画出现在明朝。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Since syrup may become hard if it cools, the painters have to produce the work very quickly.”可知，糖画师要快速完成作品是为了避免糖浆变干变硬。故选B。 【34题详解】 观点态度题。根据第四段“Now, sugar painting has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in China. Therefore, the art should be remembered, missed and passed on.”可知，作者认为糖画作为非物质文化遗产应被铭记、传承，态度是满怀希望的。故选D。 【35题详解】 最佳标题题。文章围绕糖画的起源、制作、现状以及作为非物质文化遗产应被传承等内容展开，是在探索糖画这一艺术形式，“Exploring (探索) the Art of Sugar Painting”适合作为标题。故选A。 D An “air taxi” seems like science fiction, but you’ll probably be able to take one in the near future. On February 27, 2024, an eVTOL aircraft finished its first test flight in Guangdong and got a lot of attention from around the world. The flight started from Shekou Cruise Home Port in Shenzhen to Jiuzhou Port in Zhuhai. The distance (距离) between these two places is about 60 kilometers. The whole trip took about 20 minutes by the eVTOL aircraft. It will be a faster choice for passengers travelling between Shenzhen and Zhuhai in Guangzhou. Travelling by car, however, usually takes about two to three hours. The eVTOL aircraft looks like a small plane. Unlike a plane, it doesn’t need a long runway to take off and land on the ground. Instead, it can go straight up and down. This new aircraft is powered by electricity. It can travel 250 kilometers on a single charge. It can carry up to five people at a speed of up to 200 kilometers per hour. The eVTOL aircraft was developed by a high-tech company named Prosperity. The company is applying for a permit (许可证) for an operation. If everything goes well, it hopes that the aircraft will start carrying passengers in 2026. Moreover, Guangzhou is making efforts to encourage low-altitude flights (低空飞行), which will be used in many areas such as low-altitude tourism, delivery (运输), and farming in the future. Many experts believe that the achievements of low-altitude flights will make a great contribution to the city’s development. 36. What did the eVTOL aircraft do on February 27, 2024? A. It took a trip on a plane. B. It had a low-altitude flight. C. It finished its first test flight. D. It carried 5 people to Guangdong. 37. The word “It” in paragraph 2 refers to ________ . A. The whole trip B. The first test flight C. The car for travelling D. The eVTOL aircraft 38. Which paragraph tells us what the “air taxi” look like? A. The second paragraph. B. The third paragraph. C.

Which are some possible uses for low-altitude flights in the future? a. low-altitude tourism b. delivery c. fishing industry d. farming A. a, b, c B. b, c, d C. a, b, d D. a, c, d 40. What’s the main theme of the passage? A. Technology B. Culture C. Sports D. Health 【答案】36. C 37. D 38. B 39. C 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一种名为eVTOL的 “空中出租车”在广东完成首次试飞，展示了其作为便捷交通工具的潜力，并探讨了低空飞行的未来应用。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“On February 27, 2024, an eVTOL aircraft finished its first test flight in Guangdong and got a lot of attention from around the world.”可知，飞机在2024年2月27日完成了首次试飞。故选C。 【37题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“The whole trip took about 20 minutes by the eVTOL aircraft. It will be a faster choice for passengers travelling between Shenzhen and Zhuhai in Guangzhou.”可知，乘客坐飞机往返深圳和珠海最快，It指的是eVTOL飞机。故选D。 【38题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“The eVTOL aircraft looks like a small plane.”及结合第三段的内容可知，第三段详细介绍了“空中出租车”的外观和特性。故选B。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Moreover, Guangzhou is making efforts to encourage low-altitude flights (低空飞行), which will be used in many areas such as low-altitude tourism, delivery (运输), and farming in the future.”可知，未来低空飞行将用于低空旅游、运输和农业领域。故选C。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。结合文章内容可知，本文主要描述了eVTOL飞机及其关联技术的未来潜力，属于科技类主题。故选A。 Ⅲ.阅读理解七选五 (10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There are so many expressions in American English that sound pleasant (令人愉快的) but are not. ____41____ When someone says they have to “face the music”, it does not mean they are going to a concert. “Facing the music” means to accept and deal with the punishment (惩罚) of an action. ____42____ For example, “I can’t face another night of camping! It’s cold and rainy.” Or “In life, you must face your fears.” Face used in this way is very common. But now, let’s go back to facing the music. Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She gives you the keys and says, “Thanks so much for watching my car while I’m away. But please, do not drive it. It is an extremely (极其) fast car.” ____43____ You want to show off to some friends. So, you drive it around town one night. As bad luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. Bang! When your friend returns, you must tell her what you have done and “face the music”. ____44____ It could be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her sports car or both. Whatever the music is, you must face it. ____45____ To “take your medicine” means to accept the results from something bad you have done. And if someone says, “You made your bed. Now lie in it,” they mean you created a bad situation and now you will experience the results! A. But you do not listen. B. “Face the music” is a good example. C. The “music” here is the result of your actions. D. Americans often use the word “face” in this way. E. Everyone likes to enjoy a concert in the evening. F. You are very afraid of losing the trust of your friend. G. There are other American expressions that mean the same thing as “face the music”. 【答案】41. B 42. D 43. A 44. C 45. G 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了美式英语中有很多听起来令人愉快但实际上并不愉快的表达方式。 【41题详解】 前文说美式英语里很多表达听起来令人愉快而实际不是，后文开始讲“face the music”这个表达，B选项 “‘Face the music’就是个很好的例子”起到承上启下的作用，引出要讲的表达，符合语境。故选B。 【42题详解】 后文举例“I can’t face another night of camping...you must face your fears.”是关于“face”的用法，D选项“美国人常这样使用‘face’这个词”引出下文对“face”的用法举例，符合语境。故选D。 【43题详解】 前文朋友说别开那辆车，后文说你想开去炫耀，A选项“但你没听”体现出转折，衔接前后文，符合语境。故选A。 【44题详解】 前文说要“face the music”，后文说可能的结果，C选项“这里的‘music’是你行为的结果”解释了“face the music”中“music”的含义，符合逻辑。故选C。 【45题详解】 后文开始讲“take your medicine”以及“You made your bed. Now lie in it.”这些和“face the music”意思类似的表达，G选项“还有其他美式表达和‘face the music’意思一样”起到引出下文的作用，符合语境。故选G。 IV. 补全对话 (5分) A: Hi, Dick! What are you going to do tonight? B: ____46____ What about your suggestion?

C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲了一位空虚的富女士向医生求助，医生让清洁工玛丽分享幸福之道。玛丽历经丧亲之痛，因帮助小猫重拾微笑，后坚持助人，终获幸福，富女士深受触动。 【51题详解】 句意：她说她对自己的生活方式感到厌倦，她的整个生活是空虚且毫无意义的。 wonderful 精彩的；interesting 有趣的；meaningless 无意义的；quiet 安静的。根据“She said she was bored by her lifestyle, and her whole life was empty”可知，这位女士明确表达出对生活方式的厌倦以及生活空虚的状态，所以这里应该是毫无意义的，故选C。 【52题详解】 句意：我要让玛丽告诉你她是如何找到幸福的。 what 什么；when 何时；who 谁；how 如何。从后文玛丽讲述自己找到幸福的整个过程，如经历了丈夫和儿子的离世，到后来通过帮助他人重新获得快乐等细节可知，医生让玛丽分享的是找到幸福的方式，即 “如何” 找到幸福，对应原文相关描述，故选D。 【53题详解】 句意：我想让你做的就是倾听。 find 找到；listen 倾听；watch 观看；wait 等待。结合语境，医生安排玛丽讲述故事，对于这位富有的女士，此时最需要做的就是 “听” 玛丽说，原文描述了这样的安排场景，故选B。 【54题详解】 句意：嗯，我的丈夫死于疟疾，几个月后我唯一的儿子被车撞死了，我没有亲人了…… came over 过来；got over 克服；got out 出去；died of 死于。依据“my husband... malaria (疟疾) and months later my only son was killed by a car, I had nobody...”可知，玛丽后续描述自己失去所有亲人的悲惨状况，结合 “malaria”，明显是丈夫 “死于” 疟疾，故选D。 【55题详解】 句意：我什么都没有留下。 left 留下；worried 担心；progress 进步；trouble 麻烦。根据 “I had nobody... I had nothing...” 的表述，这里是说她什么都没 “剩下”，故选A。 【56题详解】 句意：我睡不着；我吃不下；我从不向任何人微笑；我甚至想到了死。 ever 曾经；even 甚至；never 从不；still 仍然。根据“I couldn’t sleep; I couldn’t eat; I never smiled at anyone; I... thought of death.”可知，前面描述了玛丽一系列痛苦的表现，“想到死” 是比睡不着、吃不下等更严重、更进一步的情况，用 “even” 来加强这种递进语气，故选B。 【57题详解】 句意：然后有一天晚上，一只小猫跟着我从工作的地方回家，我为这只猫感到难过。 followed 跟随；reached 到达；arrived 到达；raised 举起。根据“Then one evening a little cat... me home from work”可知，这里描述的是小猫的行为，“跟着” 玛丽从工作地回家，符合语境，故选A。 【58题详解】 句意：我给了它一些牛奶，它把盘子舔得干干净净。 bright 明亮的；perfect 完美的；clean 干净的；wet 湿的。按照生活常识以及原文 “I got it some milk, and it licked (舔) the plate...”可知，猫舔牛奶后盘子的状态应该是 “干净”，故选C。 【59题详解】 句意：如果帮助一只猫就能让我微笑，也许为人们做些事情也能让我快乐。 saving 拯救；helping 帮助；making 制作；providing 提供。玛丽给小猫牛奶喝，让它进屋，这一系列行为是对小猫的 “帮助”，对应原文相关情节，故选B。 【60题详解】 句意：如果帮助一只猫就能让我微笑，也许为人们做些事情也能让我快乐。 groups 群组；animals 动物；families 家庭；people 人们。根据“If... a cat could make me smile, maybe doing something for... could make me happy, too.” 以及玛丽后续给邻居送蛋糕等为他人做事的行为可知，这里是从帮助动物联想到为 “人” 做事，故选D。 【61题详解】 句意：所以第二天我烤了一些蛋糕，把它们带给了一个卧病在床的邻居。 sick 生病的；weak 虚弱的；healthy 健康的；tired 疲惫的。根据“So the next day I baked (烘烤) some cakes and took them to a neighbor who was... in bed”可知，玛丽是去帮助别人，结合生活实际，“卧病在床” 的人更需要帮助，故选A。 【62题详解】 句意：每天我都努力为别人做些好事。 funny 有趣的；exciting 令人兴奋的；nice 好的；great 棒的。根据“Every day I tried to do something... for someone. It made me so happy to see them happy.”可知，她做的这些事是善意的、“好的” 事情，故选C。 【63题详解】 句意：如今，我不知道有谁比我睡得更好、吃得更香。 care 关心；remind 提醒；make 制作；know 知道。根据“Today I don’t... of anybody who sleeps and eats better than I do.”可知，玛丽想表达的是自己不清楚、不 “知道” 有比自己睡得好、吃得香的人，“know of” 表示 “知道、了解”，故选D。 【64题详解】 句意：我通过把幸福给予别人而找到了幸福。 sadness 悲伤；happiness 幸福；kindness 善良；carelessness 粗心。根据“how she found happiness”可知，医生让玛丽讲述找到幸福的过程，这里玛丽得出结论，自己通过帮助别人找到了 “幸福”，故选B。 【65题详解】 句意：她拥有金钱能买到的一切，但她却失去了金钱买不到的东西。 something 某事；anything 任何事；everything 一切；nothing 没有什么。根据“A beautiful, well - dressed lady came to see her doctor. She said she was bored by her lifestyle, and her whole life was empty...”可知，她很富有，所以拥有金钱能买到的 “一切” 物质，但却缺乏幸福等精神层面的东西，故选C。 非选择题部分 共50分 VI.(15分) 阅读填空，在空白处填入1个适当单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 China is a nation with a rich culture in handwriting (书法).

The man stopped and looked very sadly at the birds in front of him. The birds were screaming (尖叫) in the cage, giving a high cry and trying to fly away. After standing for a moment, he said to the boy, “How much does your bird cost? I want...” “One, fifty cents, sir,” the boy answered quickly. “I am not asking how much it is.” the man said, “I would like to buy all of them. What I ask is how much you want for all of them.” Hearing this, the boy happily counted the number of the birds in the cage. “Five dollars.” “Here you are!” The man passed the money. The boy counted excitedly. Suddenly he was surprised to find the cage was empty and no bird was in it! “Oh, my god, for what reason did you do that, sir? You don’t even get a bird!” the boy asked the man who let the birds free. “My boy, let me tell you why I did this.” the man said, “I have no right to keep them.

It’s the sugar for us to taste, and the painting for us to admire. In the Warring States Period (战国时代), the ancient (古代的) people loved sweets and developed ways of making sugar. In the Tang Dynasty, there was great progress in the technology of sugar making. And sugar, the precious product once only served to the emperors and princes (王子), also went into common people’s homes. With the cultural and economic (经济的) development of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, people became less interested in only tasting sweetness. In the Ming Dynasty, some people added pictures with good luck to the bowl of sugar, and sugar painting appeared. Sugar painting is different from normal painting. Sugar painters (画师) use syrup (糖浆) as the material, a spoon as the “paintbrush”, and a smooth (平滑的) table as the “paper”. To make syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting. Since syrup may become hard if it cools, the painters have to produce the work very quickly. They move the spoon full of syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting is made. However, it’s a pity (遗憾) that this folk art is dying recently. The sugar painting that used to be rich in shapes has become poorer and poorer because of fewer needs. What’s worse, few people seem to be willing to pass on the art except those old sugar painters. For most people, painting is a kind of art and difficult to understand.

On February 27, 2024, an eVTOL aircraft finished its first test flight in Guangdong and got a lot of attention from around the world. The flight started from Shekou Cruise Home Port in Shenzhen to Jiuzhou Port in Zhuhai. The distance (距离) between these two places is about 60 kilometers. The whole trip took about 20 minutes by the eVTOL aircraft. It will be a faster choice for passengers travelling between Shenzhen and Zhuhai in Guangzhou. Travelling by car, however, usually takes about two to three hours. The eVTOL aircraft looks like a small plane. Unlike a plane, it doesn’t need a long runway to take off and land on the ground. Instead, it can go straight up and down. This new aircraft is powered by electricity. It can travel 250 kilometers on a single charge. It can carry up to five people at a speed of up to 200 kilometers per hour. The eVTOL aircraft was developed by a high-tech company named Prosperity. The company is applying for a permit (许可证) for an operation. If everything goes well, it hopes that the aircraft will start carrying passengers in 2026. Moreover, Guangzhou is making efforts to encourage low-altitude flights (低空飞行), which will be used in many areas such as low-altitude tourism, delivery (运输), and farming in the future. Many experts believe that the achievements of low-altitude flights will make a great contribution to the city’s development. 36. What did the eVTOL aircraft do on February 27, 2024? A. It took a trip on a plane. B. It had a low-altitude flight. C. It finished its first test flight. D. It carried 5 people to Guangdong. 37. The word “It” in paragraph 2 refers to ________ . A.
