So they can’t really have a good time.”可知，他们通常很快结束旅行，不能真正玩得开心，所以这里说的是人们需要花很多时间进行一次愉快的旅行，“enjoy”的形容词形式“enjoyable”表示“令人愉快的”，修饰名词“trip”。故填enjoyable。 63．句意：有些人不喜欢长途旅行。根据“They think it’s tiring for them...”可知，他们认为长途旅行很累，所以是不喜欢长途旅行，“like”的反义词“dislike”表示“不喜欢”，符合语境。故填dislike。 64．句意：他们认为决定怎么去、住在哪里或吃什么对他们来说很累。根据“how to go, where to live or what to eat”可知，这些都是需要决定的事情，“decide”表示“决定”，“it’s + 形容词 + for sb. to do sth.”表示“对某人来说做某事是……的”，所以用动词原形“decide”。故填decide。 65．句意：更重要的是，“云旅游”也对一个地方的生意有影响。根据“People like to buy things while watching live streaming.”可知，人们在看直播时喜欢买东西，所以“云旅游”对地方生意有影响，“make a difference”表示“有影响，起作用”，符合语境。故填difference。 七、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 阅读文章回答问题 The Story of Cassette Tapes If you ask a teenager what a cassette tape is, they might look confused. But for people born in the 1970s or 1980s, cassette tapes were a big part of life. Cassette tapes were invented in the 1960s by Philips, a Dutch company. They were small, light, and easy to carry—perfect for music lovers. Before that, people used records, which were heavy and easily broken. Cassettes could be played in cars, portable players, and home stereos, making music more accessible. In the 1980s, cassette tapes became popular around the world. People recorded their favourite songs from the radio onto blank tapes. They made mix tapes for friends, putting together songs that told a story or shared feelings. Bands released their music on cassettes, and many people collected them, storing hundreds in boxes or on shelves. But by the 1990s, CDs started to replace cassettes. CDs had better sound quality and didn’t get tangled like cassette tape inside the player. Then, in the 2000s, digital music on MP3 players and smartphones made cassettes almost disappear. Today, cassette tapes are making a small comeback. Some music fans prefer their “warm” sound, different from digital music. Artists release new albums on cassettes, and old ones are sold as collectibles. Many people now see them as a reminder of the past—a time when music was something you could hold, share, and treasure. Cassette tapes may not be as useful as they once were, but they tell a story of how technology changes, and how some things—like our love for music—stay the same. 66．Why were cassette tapes better than records when they were invented? 67．What did people do with blank cassette tapes in the 1980s? 68．What replaced cassette tapes in the 1990s? 69．Why are cassette tapes becoming popular again today? 70．What do cassette tapes tell us about technology and people? 【答案】66．They were small, light, and easy to carry, and not easily broken like records. 67．They recorded their favourite songs from the radio and made mix tapes for friends. 68．CDs replaced cassette tapes in the 1990s. 69．Because some music fans prefer their “warm” sound, and artists release new albums on them as collectibles. 70．They tell us that technology changes, but some things like love for music stay the same. 【导语】本文讲述了盒式磁带的历史，包括其发明、流行、被替代以及如今的回归等情况，展现了技术的变化和人们对音乐不变的热爱。 66．根据“Cassette tapes were invented in the 1960s by Philips, a Dutch company. They were small, light, and easy to carry—perfect for music lovers. Before that, people used records, which were heavy and easily broken.”可知，盒式磁带比唱片好是因为它们小巧、轻便、易于携带，而且不像唱片那样容易损坏，故填They were small, light, and easy to carry, and not easily broken like records. 67．根据“In the 1980s, cassette tapes became popular around the world. People recorded their favourite songs from the radio onto blank tapes. They made mix tapes for friends...”可知，20世纪80年代人们用空白盒式磁带从收音机里录制自己喜欢的歌曲，并为朋友制作混音磁带，故填They recorded their favourite songs from the radio and made mix tapes for friends. 68．根据“But by the 1990s, CDs started to replace cassettes.”可知，20世纪90年代CD开始取代盒式磁带，故填CDs replaced cassette tapes in the 1990s. 69．根据“Today, cassette tapes are making a small comeback. Some music fans prefer their “warm” sound, different from digital music. Artists release new albums on cassettes, and old ones are sold as collectibles.”可知，如今盒式磁带再次流行是因为一些音乐爱好者喜欢它们“温暖”的声音，艺术家们将新专辑以盒式磁带形式发行，旧的盒式磁带也作为收藏品出售，故填Because some music fans prefer their “warm” sound, and artists release new albums on them as collectibles. 70．根据“Cassette tapes may not be as useful as they once were, but they tell a story of how technology changes, and how some things—like our love for music—stay the same.”可知，盒式磁带告诉我们技术在变化，但有些东西如对音乐的热爱是不变的，故填They tell us that technology changes, but some things like love for music stay the same. 八、作文（满分20分） 71．话题：Changes in My Neighbourhood 要求：不少于60个词，描述你所在社区的过去与现在的变化，至少包含2个具体例子（如建筑、交通等）。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 My neighborhood has changed a lot.
