A. The; / B. /; a C. /; the D. A; / 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：春天的宜兴非常美丽，以至于我来自江阴的表弟想再来参观一次。 考查冠词的用法。The表特指；/零冠词；a一个，表泛指，用于辅音音素开头的单词前。第一个空，“Yixing”是城市名，属于专有名词，一般在城市名前不加冠词；第二个空，“a+序数词”表示“又一，再一”，“a second time”意思是“再一次”，这里说表弟想再来一次宜兴，符合语境。故选B。 2. There are too many people standing at the gate of the park. I’m afraid we can’t get ________. A. past B. through C. against D. over 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：站在公园门口的人太多了。恐怕我们通不过去。 考查介词辨析。past经过；through通过；against反对；over在……上方。根据“I’m afraid we can’t get...”可知，恐怕我们穿不过去，get through“通过”，强调从人群、空间等内部穿过，符合“从拥挤的门口穿过”的语境。故选B。 3. —________ have you been a member of the Reading Club, Jean? —Since I came to this school. A. How often B. How far C. How long D. How soon 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——吉恩，你加入读书俱乐部多久了？——自从我来到这所学校。 考查特殊疑问词词义辨析。How often多久一次，用于询问某件事情发生的频率；How far多远；How long多长(物体长度)，多久(时间长度)，询问某个状态的持续时间，回答这类问题时，通常需要使用表示时间段的词汇，如“for+时间段”或“since+时间点”；How soon多久以后，回答始终以当前时间为起点，强调“从现在起需要等待多久”。根据“Since I came to this school.”可知，这是在问“多久(时间长度)”。故选C。 4. —I’m worried about my report on Nezha II. I don’t know what to write about it. —Maybe you can read some ________ about the film before you start. A. reasons B. records C. results D. reviews 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我在担心我写的关于哪吒2的报告。我不知道该写些什么。——也许你可以在开始之前读一些关于这个电影的评论。 考查名词辨析。reasons原因；records记录；results结果；reviews评论。根据“I don’t know what to write about it.”可知，不知道怎么写哪吒2的报告，此处应是建议其读一些影评来了解电影的关键点、分析和见解等。故选D。 5. Mr. Wang ________ Sanya for holiday since he ________ Mrs. Wang last week. A. has been in; married B. has gone to; got married to C. has gone to; married D. has been to; got married to 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：自从上周王先生和王太太结婚后，他一直在三亚度假。 考查现在完成时和动词短语。has gone to去了某个地方，人还没有回来；has been to到过某地，人已经回来了；has been in已经在某个地方，说明人就在那个地方。marry sb.和某人结婚；get married to sb.和某人结婚。根据“Sanya for holiday”可知，他就在三亚度蜜月，第一空填has been in，排除BCD三个选项，第二空只能填married。故选A。 6. —I’m sorry to ________ on you, but I’m afraid I can’t follow you. —Oh, sorry. I’ll speak a bit more slowly. A. cut down B. cut off C. cut in D. cut out 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——很抱歉打断你，但恐怕我没跟上你的思路。——哦，抱歉。我会说慢一点。 考查动词短语辨析。cut down砍倒，削减；cut off切断，中断；cut in插嘴，打断；cut out删去。根据“but I’m afraid I can’t follow you.”可知，此处是指打断对方的话，故选C。 7.

But...they are quite different.”可知，双胞胎在某些方面是大不相同的。故选D。 9. Which of the following sentences is NOT an opinion? A. Life in Yixing is getting much better. B. My father drove me to school yesterday. C. Yixing is not a big city, but it is very beautiful. D.

A. Really? B. Never mind. C. Do as you like! D. It doesn’t matter. 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我们可以在互联网上的电子词典里查找新单词。——真的吗？你能给我展示一下怎么用它吗？ 考查情景交际。Really真的吗；Never mind没关系；Do as you like随你便；It doesn’t matter没关系。根据“Will you show me how to use it?”可知，说话者对能在电子词典里查单词这件事感到惊讶，想让对方展示如何使用，所以用“Really?”合适。故选A。 三、完形填空 先通读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后在每小题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） One Sunday afternoon in May, 2021, waiter Paul, 24, was busy at work at the restaurant in scenic Augsburg, Germany.

The farmer wanted me to do twelve shows a day. I began to feel ill. One day, the queen heard about me and wanted to see me. The farmer took me to the palace and the queen liked me so much that she invited me to live with her. She paid the farmer a thousand pieces of gold to keep me! I was happy to have a life different from the past but something made me sad. “Why do you look so sad, Gulliver?” asked the queen. “I have to say goodbye to Glumdalclitch,” I replied. “She is the only person who has cared for me in the past months, and my only friend on Brobdingnag.” After hearing my words the queen said Glumdalclitch could stay with me. I felt safe and happy. The queen treated me well and every Wednesday I ate with the king and queen. They were curious about my life in England and Europe. The king asked me about the laws of my country and its government and religions. I explained that though our system worked well, there were still fights and wars because of greed (贪婪) and dishonesty. The king laughed loudly and said, “How important you little people think you are,” he said. “You tell me you have many books about how to govern your country. Are you all so stupid? Don’t you know that to govern any country all you need is common sense (常识)?! Your people are dishonest and there are wars, revolutions and rebellions. This means that your system does not work as well as you think.” He continued to laugh and concluded (总结) by saying, “Common sense, my dear Gulliver, common sense! Don’t the people who govern your country have any of this?” I felt very offended at first. But later, when I was alone, I thought about it and I understood he was probably right. Also my small size seemed to put me and my country into a completely different perspective (视角). We seemed very unimportant and I thought of the Lilliputians: I sometimes found them to be a little funny. I later told the king, “You must not be influenced by my size, sir.” I said. “In my country there are many tall people who are quite stupid and many short people who are very smart. This is true of everything. A long book may be boring and a short book may be a masterpiece.” I am happy to see the king agreed with me on this. “Size and looks do not matter.” I concluded. 27. What does the underlined word “offended” most probably mean in the article? A. Excited. B. Unhappy. C. Afraid. D. Relaxed. 28. What did the king think of the governing system in Gulliver’s country? A. It was better than that on Brobdingnag. B. It worked perfectly and didn’t have any problems. C. It was based on common sense like that on Brobdingnag. D. It didn’t work well because of people’s dishonesty and greed. 29. What is the correct order of the following events? ①Gulliver said goodbye to the farmer and started a new life. ②Gulliver felt ill because of doing twelve shows every day. ③Gulliver knew there were fights and wars in his own country. ④Gulliver ate with the king and queen every Wednesday. ⑤The king looked down upon the system in Gulliver’ country.

Gulliver thought tall people in his country were all stupid. C. Glumdalclitch was Gulliver’s only friend on Brobdingnag. D. The king didn’t agree that size and looks do not matter at all. 【答案】27. B 28. D 29. C 30. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是小说《格列佛游记》的片段。 【27题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“He continued to laugh and concluded (总结) by saying: ‘Common sense, my dear Gulliver, common sense! Don’t the people who govern your country have any of this?’”可知，国王嘲笑格列佛的国家及其治理方式，因此他感到不高兴。故选B。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Your people are dishonest and there are wars, revolutions and rebellions. This means that your system does not work as well as you think.”可知，国王认为在格列佛的国家，人们的不诚实和贪婪，它没有很好地运作。故选D。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据“After some time, I felt very tired. The farmer wanted me to do twelve shows a day. I began to feel ill.”可知，格列佛因为每天演出十二场而感到不舒服；根据“‘I have to say goodbye to Glumdalclitch,’ I replied.”可知，格列佛告别了农夫，开始了新的生活。根据“After hearing my words the queen said Glumdalclitch could stay with me. I felt safe and happy. The queen treated me well and every Wednesday I ate with the king and queen.”可知，格列佛每周三与国王和王后一起吃饭。根据“I explained that though our system worked well, there were still fights and wars because of greed (贪婪) and dishonesty.”可知，格列佛知道在他自己的国家里有战斗和战争。根据“The king laughed loudly and said, ‘How important you little people think you are,’ he said.”可知，国王看不起格列佛的国家制度。因此正确的顺序为：②-①-④-③-⑤。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“‘I have to say goodbye to Glumdalclitch,’ I replied. ‘She is the only person who has cared for me in the past months, and my only friend on Brobdingnag.’”可知，葛兰达克利赤是格列佛在大人国唯一的朋友。故选C。 D For most tourists, travel is often about visiting famous places, buying souvenirs (纪念品), and following well-planned timetables. However, for China’s Gen Z, the meaning of travel has changed. They don’t just want to enjoy the sightseeing. Instead, this generation sees travel as a way of self-expression, a chance to have special experiences to show who they are. Tourist areas are now paying more attention to the feelings and needs of young travellers. This change has been noticed. Dai Bin, the president of the China Tourism Academy, points out that young people in China are now travelling to “please themselves” rather than “please others”. Their feelings matter more than just visiting famous places. Dai says that trends (趋势) like planning their own trips and designing their own experiences are becoming popular. Young travellers want to move faster, go further, and explore more freely. Take the ice and snow tourism as an example. Young travellers are no longer happy with simply enjoying the views of snow—they want to take part in ice and snow activities. During the winter season in Harbin, besides the traditional snow and ice art, going down ice slides, having fun in the music parties at ice and snow theme parks and the city’s “disco bars” nightlife experience are becoming more and more popular. Tourist areas need to change their plans to follow the direction of travelling habits. Hengdian World Studios in Zhejiang Province is a big place where movies are made. It is attracting young visitors by letting them experience what it’s like to be in a movie. With activities like “Step into the Movies”, visitors can see how movies are made from start to finish. The studios use famous scenes from movies and TV shows to create fun experiences. This lets visitors enjoy the whole area in just one hour without feeling bored. It makes their visit more exciting and fun, like they are part of a movie. The growth of immersive travel is not just about movie experiences. In Luoyang, Henan Province, young travellers wear Hanfu to feel like they are part of history. Some local families work with traditional skilled artists to offer workshops where visitors can learn skills like paper-cutting and dough figurine making (捏面人). This makes their travel experiences more personal and interesting. Gen Z’s travel habits are changing, and tourist areas are creating new ways to give immersive and personal experiences that help them feel closer to the culture and history. Mixing old traditions with modern activities is changing the future of tourism in China, making trips more exciting and fun for young visitors. 31. Which of the following is a new popular activity among young travellers in winter in Harbin? A. Enjoying the snow views. B. Going down ice slides. C. Stepping into the movies. D. Making dough figurines. 32. Why is Hengdian World Studios popular with young visitors? A. Because it offers many chances to meet movie stars. B. Because the ticket price is not too cheap or too expensive. C. Because it has the best movie-making machines and skills in China. D. Because young visitors can experience the process of movie-making. 33. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The traditional ways of travelling in China. B The growth of ice and snow tourism in Harbin. C. How tourist areas in China attract foreign tourists. D. Young travellers want special and fun experiences. 34. What can we infer from the passage? A. More tourist areas will create new experiences to meet Gen Z’s needs. B. Only big cities can provide good travel experiences for Gen Z. C. Gen Z will not visit famous tourist spots any longer. D.

With activities like ‘Step into the Movies’, visitors can see how movies are made from start to finish.”可知，横店影视城受到年轻游客的欢迎是因为年轻的游客可以体验电影制作的过程。故选D。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Instead, this generation sees travel as a way of self-expression, a chance to have special experiences to show who they are. Tourist areas are now paying more attention to the feelings and needs of young travellers.”可知，这篇文章的主旨是年轻的旅行者想要特别有趣的经历。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Gen Z’s travel habits are changing, and tourist areas are creating new ways to give immersive and personal experiences that help them feel closer to the culture and history.”可知，更多的旅游区将创造新的体验来满足Z世代的需求。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四，五，六段可知，这几段都在举例说明。所以作者是通过举例子表达他的观点的。故选B。 第Ⅱ卷（主观题 共50分） 五、词汇运用（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） (A) 根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。 36. David, has your father been to Hongkong on business ________ (最近)? 【答案】recently 【解析】 【详解】句意：David，你的爸爸最近去香港出差过吗？“最近”recently，副词修饰整个句子。故填recently。 37. A famous doctor was found ________ (死的) alone in his own room last Wednesday morning. 【答案】dead 【解析】 【详解】句意：上周三早上，一位著名的医生被发现独自死在自己的房间里。根据“A famous doctor was found...alone in his own room last Wednesday morning.”可知，一位著名的医生被发现独自死在自己的房间里，find sb+形容词“发现某人怎样了”，dead“死的”，形容词。故填dead。 38. Hello! I’d like to ________ (预订) a table for two please. 【答案】book 【解析】 【详解】句意：你好！我想预订一张两人桌，麻烦您了。book“预订”，would like to do sth“想要做某事”，故填book。 39. The two shops stood on _________ (在……对面) sides of the street, facing each other. 【答案】opposite 【解析】 【详解】句子：两家商店位于街道的两侧，彼此相对。根据中文提示可知，此处使用形容词“opposite”，意为“在……对面的；相对的”；“on opposite sides of the street”中，“opposite”修饰名词“sides”，符合语境。故填opposite。 40. While visiting a foreign country, it’s important to greet others in a ________ (符合习俗的) way. 【答案】proper 【解析】 【详解】句意：在访问外国时，以符合习俗的方式与他人打招呼是非常重要的。proper“符合习俗的”，作定语修饰way，故填proper。 (B) 根据句意，写出括号内所给单词的适当形式。 41. WeChat and QQ have made ________ (communicate) easier than before for all of us. 【答案】communication 【解析】 【详解】句意：微信和QQ使我们所有人的交流比以前更容易。根据“WeChat and QQ have made...easier than before for all of us.”可知，空格处缺少名词作宾语，communicate的名词形式为communication。故填communication。 42.

It’s ________ (possible) for us to finish such a difficult task in only a week. 【答案】impossible 【解析】 【详解】句意：对于我们来说，仅在一周内完成如此困难的一项任务是不可能的。“It’s+形容词+for sb.+to do sth.”是固定句型，表示“对于某人来说做某事是……的”，结合语境“such a difficult task in only a week”可知，这是很难做到的，所以此处要用possible“可能的”的反义词impossible“不可能的”，即完成这项任务是“不可能的”。故填impossible。 45. The blind man asked people around ________ (polite) not to shout at his guide dog. 【答案】politely 【解析】 【详解】句意：那个盲人礼貌地要求周围的人不要对他的导盲犬大喊大叫。根据“The blind man asked people around...not to shout at his guide dog.”可知，空格处需要副词修饰动词asked，polite的副词形式是politely。故填politely。 六、动词填空 用括号内所给动词的适当形式填空，并将答案写在答题卡对应题号的横线上。（本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分） 46. What a wonderful time we had ________ (watch) the fireworks at Disneyland last winter holiday! 【答案】watching 【解析】 【详解】句意：去年寒假我们在迪士尼乐园看烟火玩得多开心啊！have a/an+adj+time+doing“做某事……”，因此此处用watch的动名词形式。故填watching。 47. Mrs. Andersen will leave for a dinner party after she ________ (dress) up. 【答案】dresses 【解析】 【详解】句意：安徒生太太穿好衣服后要去参加一个晚宴。在时间状语从句中，如果主句是将来时，从句需用一般现在时表示将来。从句主语“she”是第三人称单数，因此动词“dress”需要变为第三人称单数dresses。故填dresses。 48. Mr. Li teaches us English this term. But he ________ (work) on a farm for nearly 4 years. 【答案】worked 【解析】 【详解】句意：这学期李先生教我们英语。但他在农场工作了将近4年。根据“Mr. Li teaches us English this term.”可知，这学期李先生教我们英语，在农场工作是过去的动作，用一般过去时，work的过去式是worked。故填worked。 49. —Is everybody here, Lucy? —No, sir. Daniel ________ (not arrive). He’s still on his way. 【答案】hasn’t arrived 【解析】 【详解】句意：——露西，所有人都到了吗？——没有，老师。丹尼尔还没到。他还在路上。根据“He’s still on his way.”可知，丹尼尔到现在还没有到达，强调过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响（人还没到），所以此处要用现在完成时，其结构是“have/has+过去分词”；主语是Daniel，助动词用has，否定形式是hasn’t，arrive的过去分词是arrived。故填hasn’t arrived。 50. —I called you yesterday morning, but you didn’t answer. —Sorry about that. I guess I ________ (prepare) for the family dinner. 【答案】was preparing 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我昨天早上给你打电话，但你没有接。——对不起。我想我是在准备家庭晚餐。根据“I called you yesterday morning”可知，昨天早上正在为家庭晚餐做准备，需要用过去进行时，主语是I，be动词用was。故填was preparing。 七、阅读表达 （本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题，并将答案写在答题卡对应题号的横线上，每小题答案不超过7个词。 The beautiful handiwork of leaf-vein embroidery (叶脉绣) in Tongren, Guizhou province, has made Guizhou embroidery famous in China. Leaf-vein embroidery dates back to the Song Dynasty. It has been used to send information by several ethnic groups (民族) in the southwestern region. Yang Li, an inheritor (传承人) of this skill, has brought together the traditional embroidery of the Miao, Tujia and Dong ethnic groups in the leaves. She also mixed traditional beauty with modern skill. Leaf-vein embroidery artwork is highly valued because it is difficult to make. The key steps cover picking and drying the leaves, then designing (设计) and embroidering the pattern (图案). Leaves from plants in the thick forests of the Fanjing Mountain area in Tongren provide the best material. After the leaves naturally soften in about 20 days, they are fumigated (熏蒸). Then patterns, with ideas from ancient stories and nature, are drawn on the veins. However, because leaf-vein embroidery needs long and hard work, it is not very easy to keep this traditional skill alive. “During my lifetime, I feel I have a duty (职责). I should do it better and pass on this skill.” Yang said. In 2022, Yang set up a training centre and has since shared leaf-vein embroidery through short videos with her student Yang Xinyu. “Leaf-vein embroidery is a treasure. As a young person influenced (影响) by my teacher Yang Li, I have kept on learning this skill and hope that more young people will return to their hometowns to carry on this skill.” Yang Xinyu said. 51. When did leaf-vein embroidery start? _______________________________________________________________. 52. Who has brought together the traditional embroidery of several ethnic groups in the leaves? _______________________________________________________________. 53. How long do the leaves naturally soften before fumigating? _______________________________________________________________. 54. Why is it not very easy to keep leaf-vein embroidery alive? _______________________________________________________________. 55. What do you think of leaf-vein embroidery according to the passage? _______________________________________________________________. 【答案】51. In the Song Dynasty. 52. Yang Li. 53. About 20 days. 54. Because it needs long and hard work. 55. It’s a valuable skill.（答案不唯一，合理即可 ） 【解析】 【导语】本文主要从历史渊源、工艺特色、传承现状三个方面介绍了贵州铜仁的叶脉绣技艺。 【51题详解】 根据“Leaf-vein embroidery dates back to the Song Dynasty.”可知，叶脉绣始于宋代。故填In the Song Dynasty. 【52题详解】 根据“Yang Li, an inheritor (传承人) of this skill, has brought together the traditional embroidery of the Miao, Tujia and Dong ethnic groups in the leaves.”可知，Yang Li把几个民族的传统刺绣汇集在叶子里。故填Yang Li. 【53题详解】 根据“After the leaves naturally soften in about 20 days, they are fumigated (熏蒸). ”可知，叶子需要大约20天自然变软。故填About 20 days. 【54题详解】 根据“However, because leaf-vein embroidery needs long and hard work, it is not very easy to keep this traditional skill alive.”可知，由于叶脉刺绣需要长时间和艰苦的工作，保持这一传统技能的生存不是很容易。故填Because it needs long and hard work. 【55题详解】 根据“Leaf-vein embroidery artwork is highly valued because it is difficult to make.”可知，叶脉绣一项宝贵的技能。故填It’s a valuable skill.（此题为开放性试题，言之有理即可。） 八、完成句子 根据所给汉语，用英语完成下列句子，并将答案写在答题卡对应题号的横线上。（本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 56. 老人们时不时会感到孤独，我们应该经常去探望他们。 The elderly may _________________. We should visit them often. 【答案】feel lonely from time to time 【解析】 【详解】根据汉语提示可知，所缺部分为“时不时感到孤独”。feel lonely“感觉孤独”，may为情态动词，后加动词原形；from time to time意为“偶尔，时不时”。故填feel lonely from time to time。 57. 虽然他很忙，但他还是设法按时提交了他的报告。 He was very busy but he still _________________ his report on time. 【答案】managed to hand in 【解析】 【详解】根据中英文提示可知，空格处表示“设法提交”；“manage to do sth.”是固定用法，意思是“设法做成某事”，强调经过努力最终成功做到了；根据“was”可知，句子时态是一般过去时，所以“manage”要用过去式“managed”；“hand in”是一个固定短语，意为“上交；提交”，“hand in his report”就是“提交他的报告”。故填managed to hand in。 58. 通往成功的道路往往是由成千上万的困难铺成的。 The road to success is always ________________ difficulties. 【答案】made up of thousands of 【解析】 【详解】根据汉语意思可知，空处缺少“由……铺成的”和“成千上万的”的英文表达，be made up of“由……组成”；thousands of“成千上万的”。故填made up of thousands of。 59. 每当想念她最爱的妈妈时，她总是忍不住哭泣。 Every time she misses her dearest mother she _________________. 【答案】can’t help crying##can’t stop crying 【解析】 【详解】can’t help/stop doing sth.“禁不住做某事，忍不住做某事”，动词短语；cry“哭泣”，动词，应用动名词crying。故填can’t help crying/can’t stop crying。 60. 互联网为这些贫困地区的孩子们打开了一个全新的世界。 The Internet _________________ the children in poor areas. 【答案】opens up a whole new world for 【解析】 【详解】根据中英文对应可知，需要翻译“为……打开一个全新的世界”，open up a whole new world“打开一个全新的世界”，for“为了”，句子为一般现在时，主语是The Internet，open用三单形式opens。故填opens up a whole new world for。 九、书面表达（本大题共15分） 61. 为了宣传今年的“世界读书日”，你校英语社团将举行以“Enjoy Reading, Enjoy Life”为主题的征文活动。请根据提示写一篇短文，介绍你对阅读的看法以及个人的阅读情况。 注意事项： 1. 短文须根据流程图自拟，要求语句通顺、意思连贯、符合题意； 2. 流程图中括号部分为非限定性内容，仅供参考； 3. 词数在80个左右，短文的开头已给出，不计入总词数； 4. 短文中不得使用真实的个人姓名或学校名称； 5. 短文必须写在答题卡指定的位置上。 Enjoy Reading, Enjoy Life Reading makes a full man.

One day, the queen heard about me and wanted to see me. The farmer took me to the palace and the queen liked me so much that she invited me to live with her. She paid the farmer a thousand pieces of gold to keep me! I was happy to have a life different from the past but something made me sad. “Why do you look so sad, Gulliver?” asked the queen. “I have to say goodbye to Glumdalclitch,” I replied. “She is the only person who has cared for me in the past months, and my only friend on Brobdingnag.” After hearing my words the queen said Glumdalclitch could stay with me. I felt safe and happy. The queen treated me well and every Wednesday I ate with the king and queen. They were curious about my life in England and Europe. The king asked me about the laws of my country and its government and religions. I explained that though our system worked well, there were still fights and wars because of greed (贪婪) and dishonesty. The king laughed loudly and said, “How important you little people think you are,” he said. “You tell me you have many books about how to govern your country. Are you all so stupid? Don’t you know that to govern any country all you need is common sense (常识)?! Your people are dishonest and there are wars, revolutions and rebellions. This means that your system does not work as well as you think.” He continued to laugh and concluded (总结) by saying, “Common sense, my dear Gulliver, common sense! Don’t the people who govern your country have any of this?” I felt very offended at first. But later when I was alone, I thought about it and I understood he was probably right. Also my small size seemed to put me and my country into a completely different perspective (视角). We seemed very unimportant and I thought of the Lilliputians: I sometimes found them to be a little funny. I later told the king, “You must not be influenced by my size, sir.” I said. “In my country there are many tall people who are quite stupid and many short people who are very smart. This is true of everything. A long book may be boring and a short book may be a masterpiece.” I am happy to see the king agreed with me on this. “Size and looks do not matter.” I concluded. 27 What does the underlined word “offended” most probably mean in the article? A. Excited. B. Unhappy. C. Afraid. D. Relaxed. 28. What did the king think of the governing system in Gulliver’s country? A It was better than that on Brobdingnag. B. It worked perfectly and didn’t have any problems. C. It was based on common sense like that on Brobdingnag. D. It didn’t work well because of people’s dishonesty and greed. 29.

D For most tourists, travel is often about visiting famous places, buying souvenirs (纪念品), and following well-planned timetables. However, for China’s Gen Z, the meaning of travel has changed. They don’t just want to enjoy the sightseeing. Instead, this generation sees travel as a way of self-expression, a chance to have special experiences to show who they are. Tourist areas are now paying more attention to the feelings and needs of young travellers. This change has been noticed. Dai Bin, the president of the China Tourism Academy, points out that young people in China are now travelling to “please themselves” rather than “please others”. Their feelings matter more than just visiting famous places. Dai says that trends (趋势) like planning their own trips and designing their own experiences are becoming popular. Young travellers want to move faster, go further, and explore more freely. Take the ice and snow tourism as an example. Young travellers are no longer happy with simply enjoying the views of snow—they want to take part in ice and snow activities. During the winter season in Harbin, besides the traditional snow and ice art, going down ice slides, having fun in the music parties at ice and snow theme parks and the city’s “disco bars” nightlife experience are becoming more and more popular. Tourist areas need to change their plans to follow the direction of travelling habits. Hengdian World Studios in Zhejiang Province is a big place where movies are made. It is attracting young visitors by letting them experience what it’s like to be in a movie. With activities like “Step into the Movies”, visitors can see how movies are made from start to finish. The studios use famous scenes from movies and TV shows to create fun experiences. This lets visitors enjoy the whole area in just one hour without feeling bored. It makes their visit more exciting and fun, like they are part of a movie. The growth of immersive travel is not just about movie experiences. In Luoyang, Henan Province, young travellers wear Hanfu to feel like they are part of history. Some local families work with traditional skilled artists to offer workshops where visitors can learn skills like paper-cutting and dough figurine making (捏面人). This makes their travel experiences more personal and interesting. Gen Z’s travel habits are changing, and tourist areas are creating new ways to give immersive and personal experiences that help them feel closer to the culture and history. Mixing old traditions with modern activities is changing the future of tourism in China, making trips more exciting and fun for young visitors. 31.

Leaf-vein embroidery dates back to the Song Dynasty. It has been used to send information by several ethnic groups (民族) in the southwestern region. Yang Li, an inheritor (传承人) of this skill, has brought together the traditional embroidery of the Miao, Tujia and Dong ethnic groups in the leaves. She also mixed traditional beauty with modern skill. Leaf-vein embroidery artwork is highly valued because it is difficult to make. The key steps cover picking and drying the leaves, then designing (设计) and embroidering the pattern (图案). Leaves from plants in the thick forests of the Fanjing Mountain area in Tongren provide the best material. After the leaves naturally soften in about 20 days, they are fumigated (熏蒸). Then patterns, with ideas from ancient stories and nature, are drawn on the veins. However, because leaf-vein embroidery needs long and hard work, it is not very easy to keep this traditional skill alive. “During my lifetime, I feel I have a duty (职责). I should do it better and pass on this skill.” Yang said. In 2022, Yang set up a training centre and has since shared leaf-vein embroidery through short videos with her student Yang Xinyu. “Leaf-vein embroidery is a treasure. As a young person influenced (影响) by my teacher Yang Li, I have kept on learning this skill and hope that more young people will return to their hometowns to carry on this skill.” Yang Xinyu said. 51. When did leaf-vein embroidery start? _______________________________________________________________. 52. Who has brought together the traditional embroidery of several ethnic groups in the leaves? _______________________________________________________________. 53. How long do the leaves naturally soften before fumigating? _______________________________________________________________. 54.
