B As I wandered out of my New York apartment, behind me someone called out, “Where can I find peaches?” I turned around to see a woman standing outside the greengrocer’s. The absurdity of the moment struck me — why would someone want peaches in the middle of winter? It is just as absurd as sitting by the pool on a blistering summer day and reaching for a warm, woolly jumper. I was already aware of the issues facing the food system: industrial farming ruining soils, unclear supply chains leaving citizens powerless in making the right buying decisions, and the dominance of ultra-processed foods with zero nutritional value in supermarkets. But this encounter made me see how normalized it was to expect food out of season. After graduating, I worked at Wall Street in New York, managing portfolios (投资组合). Despite the breathtaking view and fast-paced stock market, I was troubled by the greed underlying my work. Cooking was my escape. It had always been a passion, whether in Buenos Aires, at university, or in New York. As I neared my 30s, I knew I needed a change and food became my north star. Through my work visiting markets and farmers around Europe, I saw first-hand why seasonality is critical in our ability to regain control of, and fix, our food system. All around me I could see how quickly flavour was disappearing from our plates. I wanted to reintroduce phenomenal flavour into people’s lives, and to re-educate and reconnect consumers with nature. In 2004, I took over Natoora, a French-founded company with a small base in London, determined to reintroduce great flavor to people’s lives and reconnect them with nature. My two-decade-long devotion to flavor, initially a pursuit of personal pleasure, has given my work a deep sense of purpose. Flavor can emotionally connect us to food and bring joy back into our relationship with it. Changing careers opened a new world for me, filled with purpose and love for my work, and I hope it inspires others to fight for a better food-centric world. 4. Why does the author mention the encounter with a woman? A. To illustrate an absurd shopping choice. B. To highlight a problem in the food system. C. To compare between peaches and jumpers. D. To show people’s separation from farming. 5. What does the author think of cooking? A. Healing. B. Troublesome. C. Demanding. D. Instructive. 6. What can we infer from paragraph 4? A. People will improve flavors on their tables soon. B. Consumers are not willing to get close to nature. C. Our food system is in need of our great attention. D. All the markets in Europe sell food out of season. 7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Add a Unique flavor to Your career B. The Great Power of Seasonal Eating C. Approaches to Fixing the Food System D. From Wall Street to the World of Flavor C Scientists have revealed much of the basics about earthquakes: tectonic plates (构造板块) move, causing strain energy (应变能) to build up, and that energy eventually releases in the form of an earthquake. However, forecasting earthquakes remains a significant challenge, which was evidenced by the 2011 great Tohoku earthquake. In addition to causing a tsunami that led to the Fukushima nuclear disaster, it resulted in more than 18,000 deaths. In recent years researchers have been trying to figure out a possible relation between the sun and earthquakes. Based on a previous study that connected solar activity with earthquakes, a study conducted by researchers from the University of Tsukuba (UT) cast light on this possibility, confirming that sunspot numbers had some influence on earthquakes and Earth’s climate, as affected by solar heat, played a role. “Solar heat drives atmospheric temperature changes, which in turn can affect things like rock properties and underground water movement,” said Junqueira Saldanha, leader of the research team. “Such changes can make rocks tend to break apart. For example, the changes in rainfall and snowmelt can affect the pressure on tectonic plate boundaries. While these factors may not be the main drivers of earthquakes, they could still be playing a role that can help to predict earthquakes.” Among other findings, the researchers used mathematical and computational methods to analyze earthquake data alongside solar activity records and surface temperatures on Earth. They observed that when they included Earth surface temperatures into their model, the forecasting became more accurate, especially for shallow earthquakes. “That makes sense, since heat and water mostly affect the upper layers of the Earth’s crust (地壳),” said Saldanha. The findings suggest the transfer of solar heat to the surface of the Earth does affect earthquakes, however minutely, and that incorporating solar activity predictions into detailed Earth temperature models may help issue earthquake forecasts. “It’s an exciting direction, and we hope our study can decipher the bigger picture of what causes earthquakes,” said Saldanha. 8. Why did the author mention Tohoku earthquake in Paragraph 1? A. To demonstrate the movement of tectonic plates. B. To illustrate the difficulty in earthquake forecast. C. To reveal the heavy losses caused by earthquakes. D. To stress the necessity of weakening strain energy. 9. What does the study by UT mainly focus on? A. The climate change caused by earthquakes. B. The impact of solar activity on atmosphere. C. The reasons for increased sunspot numbers. D. The link between sunspots and earthquakes. 10. Which of the following would Saldanha agree? A. Solar heat decides earthquake frequency. B. Tectonic plate pressure grows constantly. C. Earthquakes occur in the crust’s upper layer. D. Solar activity data helps predict earthquakes. 11. What does the underlined word “decipher” in the last paragraph mean? A. Reveal. B. Distinguish. C. Expand. D. Assess. D Most artwork displayed in a typical art gallery includes beautiful landscapes and people as we’re drawn to beautiful things. Artwork that does not fit typical beauty standards is reserved for terrible themes, existing only to remind us of the terrible parts of life that we prefer not to think about. The University’s Memorial Art Gallery (MAG) exhibited“Beyond Beauty”, an exhibition showcasing artwork that does not fit the “perfect” beauty standards of other art. Preconceived (先入为主的) views of art and beauty are what “Beyond Beauty” seeks to change by surrounding visitors with uncomfortable descriptions of the human condition. Each piece describes humans as less-than-perfect in the traditional sense, with the collection including the “ugly side” of society like interpretations of death and social ills, and has an enormous power, producing strong emotional responses. Some artists are found not to steer clear of the depressing themes modern society and museums rarely choose. One striking work displayed in the exhibition is “Constellated in Brief and Darkly” by printmaker Rosemarie Bernardi, which shows deep insight into the realities of medical practice and stimulates conversation around the complex and painful theme of congenital (先天性的) abnormality. The development of“Beyond Beauty” started with the installation of a clown (小丑) painting. Visitors were forced to consider a colorful, unconventional painting alongside old master artworks. The MAG received comments from visitors who suggested keeping the terrible art away from their beloved traditional landscapes. Others found the painting to be engaging, which improved their museum experience. Now, Condo’s “The Clown” sits at the front of the exhibition, welcoming visitors in. After this visit, they may consider “ugliness” not as something to be rejected, but something that is to be welcomed. As today’s society sets impossible beauty standards, it’s as important as ever to remember beauty does not exist in just one form, and public views of “ugly” do not tell the whole story. Without the inclusion of the “ugly” side, we lose the descriptions that define entire groups of people and time periods. 12. What is the feature of artworks in the exhibition? A. They are completed imperfectly. B. They show negative aspects of humanity. C. They fit preconceived views of art. D. They focus on the unnoticeable social ills. 13. What does the underlined phrase “steer clear of” mean in paragraph 3? A. Appreciate. B. Understand. C. Avoid. D. Criticize. 14. What can be known about the clown painting? A. It is from an old master. B. It receives mixed reviews. C. It sets a new standard for art. D. It is about society’s problems. 15. What does the author say about ugliness? A. It takes several different forms. B. Welcoming it is simple for the public. C. It is more common than beauty. D. The general opinion on it is one-sided. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下列短文，从短文中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。 The power of no: how to build strong, healthy boundaries No. A tiny, yet mighty word.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者从华尔街转行投身食品领域，因关注食品体系问题及热爱烹饪，致力于用风味让人们与自然重新联结 。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I was already aware of the issues facing the food system: industrial farming ruining soils, unclear supply chains leaving citizens powerless in making the right buying decisions, and the dominance of ultra-processed foods with zero nutritional value in supermarkets. But this encounter made me see how normalized it was to expect food out of season. (我已经意识到食品体系面临的问题：工业化农业破坏土壤，不透明的供应链让市民在做出正确购买决定时无能为力，以及超市中零营养价值的超加工食品占据主导地位。但这次相遇让我看到，人们对反季节食品的需求已经变得多么正常。)”可知，作者提到与女士的相遇是为了突出食品体系中存在的问题，即人们对反季节食品习以为常。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Despite the breathtaking view and fast-paced stock market, I was troubled by the greed underlying my work. Cooking was my escape. It had always been a passion, whether in Buenos Aires, at university, or in New York. (尽管有令人惊叹的景色和快节奏的股票市场，但我工作背后的贪婪让我烦恼。烹饪是我的避风港。无论是在布宜诺斯艾利斯、大学期间，还是在纽约，烹饪一直是我的爱好。)”可知，在工作带来烦恼时，烹饪能让作者逃离这种负面情绪，所以作者认为烹饪具有治愈作用。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Through my work visiting markets and farmers around Europe, I saw first-hand why seasonality is critical in our ability to regain control of, and fix, our food system. All around me I could see how quickly flavour was disappearing from our plates. I wanted to reintroduce phenomenal flavour into people’s lives, and to re-educate and reconnect consumers with nature. (通过我在欧洲各地走访市场和农民的工作，我亲眼看到了为什么季节性对于我们重新掌控和修复食品体系至关重要。在我周围，我看到食物的味道正从我们的盘子里迅速消失。我想把非凡的味道重新引入人们的生活，重新教育消费者，让他们与自然重新建立联系。)”可知，食品体系存在诸多问题，比如食物味道消失，季节性对修复食品体系很关键，所以我们的食品体系需要我们高度关注。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章讲述作者从在华尔街工作，因对食品体系问题的关注和对烹饪的热爱，转行投身于与食物味道相关的事业，从华尔街走向了味道的世界。所以D项From Wall Street to the World of Flavor (从华尔街到风味世界)符合语境。故选D。 C Scientists have revealed much of the basics about earthquakes: tectonic plates (构造板块) move, causing strain energy (应变能) to build up, and that energy eventually releases in the form of an earthquake. However, forecasting earthquakes remains a significant challenge, which was evidenced by the 2011 great Tohoku earthquake. In addition to causing a tsunami that led to the Fukushima nuclear disaster, it resulted in more than 18,000 deaths. In recent years, researchers have been trying to figure out a possible relation between the sun and earthquakes. Based on a previous study that connected solar activity with earthquakes, a study conducted by researchers from the University of Tsukuba (UT) cast light on this possibility, confirming that sunspot numbers had some influence on earthquakes and Earth’s climate, as affected by solar heat, played a role. “Solar heat drives atmospheric temperature changes, which in turn can affect things like rock properties and underground water movement,” said Junqueira Saldanha, leader of the research team. “Such changes can make rocks tend to break apart.

The findings suggest the transfer of solar heat to the surface of the Earth does affect earthquakes, however minutely, and that incorporating solar activity predictions into detailed Earth temperature models may help issue earthquake forecasts. “It’s an exciting direction, and we hope our study can decipher the bigger picture of what causes earthquakes,” said Saldanha. 8. Why did the author mention Tohoku earthquake in Paragraph 1? A. To demonstrate the movement of tectonic plates. B. To illustrate the difficulty in earthquake forecast. C. To reveal the heavy losses caused by earthquakes. D. To stress the necessity of weakening strain energy. 9. What does the study by UT mainly focus on? A. The climate change caused by earthquakes. B. The impact of solar activity on atmosphere. C. The reasons for increased sunspot numbers. D. The link between sunspots and earthquakes. 10. Which of the following would Saldanha agree? A. Solar heat decides earthquake frequency. B. Tectonic plate pressure grows constantly. C. Earthquakes occur in the crust’s upper layer. D. Solar activity data helps predict earthquakes. 11. What does the underlined word “decipher” in the last paragraph mean? A. Reveal. B. Distinguish. C. Expand. D. Assess. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述科学家对太阳活动与地震之间关系的研究，指出太阳热量传递到地球表面会对地震产生影响，将太阳活动预测纳入地球温度模型可能有助于地震预报。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“However, forecasting earthquakes remains a significant challenge, which was evidenced by the 2011 great Tohoku earthquake.(然而，地震预测仍然是一项重大挑战，2011 年的Tohoku大地震就证明了这一点)”可知，提及该地震是为了论证前文“地震预测困难”的观点。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Based on a previous study that connected solar activity with earthquakes, a study conducted by researchers from the University of Tsukuba (UT) cast light on this possibility, confirming that sunspot numbers had some influence on earthquakes and Earth’s climate, as affected by solar heat, played a role.(基于之前的一项将太阳活动与地震联系起来的研究，UT大学的研究人员进行的一项研究揭示了这种可能性，证实了太阳黑子数量对地震和受太阳热量影响的地球气候有一定影响)”可知，该研究聚焦太阳黑子与地震的关联。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The findings suggest the transfer of solar heat to the surface of the Earth does affect earthquakes, however minutely, and that incorporating solar activity predictions into detailed Earth temperature models may help issue earthquake forecasts.(研究结果表明，太阳热量向地球表面的转移确实会影响地震，尽管影响很小，而且将太阳活动预测纳入详细的地球温度模型可能有助于发布地震预测)”可知，萨尔达尼亚认为太阳活动数据对预测地震有帮助。故选D。 【11题详解】 词义猜测题。根据最后一段 “we hope our study can decipher the bigger picture of what causes earthquakes(我们希望我们的研究能够_____地震成因的更大图景)”可知，decipher后的宾语是 “地震成因的更大图景”，结合前文研究的目的是弄清楚太阳活动与地震的关系，以帮助预测地震，也就是要“揭示”地震成因等相关内容，所以 decipher应表示“揭示、解读”之意。故选 A。 D Most artwork displayed in a typical art gallery includes beautiful landscapes and people as we’re drawn to beautiful things.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了通常艺术画廊所展出的艺术作品都包含美丽的事物，而MAG推出了一个打破传统美学标准的艺术展览“不止于美” (Beyond Beauty)，展示了一系列不符合“完美”美学标准的艺术作品，旨在让人们摆脱固有观念，正确认识“丑”对社会的意义。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Preconceived (先入为主的) views of art and beauty are what “Beyond Beauty” seeks to change by surrounding visitors with uncomfortable descriptions of the human condition. Each piece describes humans as less-than-perfect in the traditional sense, with the collection including the “ugly side” of society like interpretations of death and social ills, and has an enormous power, producing strong emotional responses.(“不止于美”试图通过用令人不舒服的描述包围游客改变对艺术和美的先入为主的看法，每一件作品都描述了传统意义上的不完美的人类，包括对死亡和社会弊病的解释等社会“丑陋的一面”，具有巨大的力量，产生强烈的情感反应。)”可知，本次展览作品的特点是它们展示了人性的消极方面。故选B项。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线短语句中“Some artists are found not to…the depressing themes modern society and museums rarely choose.( 一些艺术家被发现并没有……现代社会和博物馆很少选择的令人沮丧的主题。)”以及下一句“One striking work displayed in the exhibition is “Constellated in Brief and Darkly” by printmaker Rosemarie Bernardi, which shows deep insight into the realities of medical practice and stimulates conversation around the complex and painful theme of congenital (先天性的) abnormality.( 展览中展出的一件引人注目的作品是版画家Rosemarie Bernardi的《constated in Brief and Darkly》，它展示了对医疗实践现实的深刻洞察，并引发了围绕先天性异常这一复杂而痛苦的主题的讨论。)”可知，有些艺术家并不回避那些压抑的主题。故可猜测划线短语steer clear of为“回避，避开”的意思，结合选项C项Avoid“避免”意思一致。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The MAG received comments from visitors who suggested keeping the terrible art away from their beloved traditional landscapes. Others found the painting to be engaging, which improved their museum experience.( MAG收到了来自游客的评论，他们建议将这些可怕的艺术品远离他们喜爱的传统风景。其他人则认为这幅画很吸引人，这改善了他们的博物馆体验。)”可知，关于这幅画的评价褒贬不一。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“As today’s society sets impossible beauty standards, it’s as important as ever to remember beauty does not exist in just one form, and public views of “ugly” do not tell the whole story. Without the inclusion of the “ugly” side, we lose the descriptions that define entire groups of people and time periods.( 由于当今社会设定了不可能的审美标准，所以我们必须记住，美并不只有一种形式，公众对“丑”的看法并不能说明一切。如果不包含“丑陋”的一面，我们就失去了定义整个人群和时间段的描述。)”可知，公众对“丑陋”的看法并不能说明事情的全貌。如果没有包含“丑陋”的一面，我们就会失去定义整个群体和历史时期的描述。由此可知，作者认为公众对丑陋的看法是片面的。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下列短文，从短文中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。 The power of no: how to build strong, healthy boundaries No. A tiny, yet mighty word. To hear it can make us feel childlike; sheepish or in trouble. ____16____ In July, when the gymnast Simone. Biles withdrew from most of her Olympics. appearances, citing emotional exhaustion that was affecting her ability to perform, her “no” was absolutely unexpected. ____17____ White, male sports experts used the word “selfish”. It was a similar story when the tennis player Naomi Osaka withdrew from the French Open in May, speaking of “long bouts（发作）of depression” and “huge waves of anxiety” before her pre-and post-match press conferences. For both women, after a lifetime of intensive training, in the world’s gaze, the risks of saying no were huge. ____18____ A superstar athlete such as Biles pulling away from the most honored sporting event in the world to prioritize her state of mind felt culturally influential, yet remarkably simple. ____19____ ____20____ According to Steve Magness, an Olympic athletics coach and performance scientist, “You spend years building towards a moment and have external pressure coming at you which transforms into unbelievable internal pressure. I don’t think the everyday person understands that.” Magness has spent a decade researching toughness, namely, our “deep misunderstanding” of what it really means. “The easy dec. was to push onwards no matter what. You can always defend ‘trying’. The hard decision was to say no.” A. Reactions were largely supportive, but opinions were divided along political lines in the US. B. The Olympic games are emotionally exhausting. C. For good mental health, focusing on our own toughness is crucial D. How does it make you feel to say “no”? Strong? Nervous? Guilty? E. When we find it difficult to say ‘no’ at work or at home, our responsibilities can quickly become overwhelming. F But the message was that they were removing themselves from systems that might not protect them. G. Why shouldn’t she put others’ expectations second if feeling completely overwhelmed? 【答案】16. D 17. A 18. F 19. G 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，围绕“拒绝的力量”展开，以体操运动员西蒙·拜尔斯和网球运动员大坂直美在奥运会、法网等国际赛事中因心理问题拒绝参赛的案例为切入点，探讨了在外界压力下设立健康边界、勇敢说“不”的重要性，并结合奥运教练的观点进一步阐释了“拒绝”背后的艰难抉择与积极意义。 【16题详解】 根据前文“No. A tiny, yet mighty word. To hear it can make us feel childlike; sheepish or in trouble.(‘不’，一个微小却有力的词。听到这个词，我们可能会感到幼稚、羞怯或陷入麻烦)”可知，前文聚焦“听到‘不’的感受”，此处应自然过渡到“说‘不’的感受”，形成逻辑上的呼应与延伸。D选项“How does it make you feel to say “no”? Strong? Nervous? Guilty?(说“不”会让你有什么感觉？是坚定？紧张？还是愧疚？)”符合语境。故选D项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“her “no” was absolutely unexpected.(她的“不”完全出人意料)”以及后文“White, male sports experts used the word “selfish”.(白人男性体育专家用“自私”来形容她)”可知，此处需体现外界对拜尔斯“说不”的不同反应。A选项“Reactions were largely supportive, but opinions were divided along political lines in the US. (反应在很大程度上是支持的，但在美国，观点因政治立场而存在分歧)”符合语境。故选A项。 【18题详解】 根据前文“For both women, after a lifetime of intensive training, in the world’s gaze, the risks of saying no were huge. (对这两位女性而言，经过一生的高强度训练，在全世界的注视下，说‘不’的风险极大)”以及后文“A superstar athlete such as Biles pulling away from the most honored sporting event... (像拜尔斯这样的超级巨星运动员，为了优先考虑自己的精神状态而退出最受尊崇的体育赛事……)”可知，此处需解释二人“冒巨大风险说不”的核心目的——保护自身。F选项“But the message was that they were removing themselves from systems that might not protect them.(但核心信息是，她们正将自己从可能无法保护她们的体系中抽离出来)”符合语境。故选F项。 【19题详解】 根据前文“A superstar athlete such as Biles pulling away from the most honored sporting event in the world to prioritize her state of mind felt culturally influential, yet remarkably simple.(像拜尔斯这样的超级巨星运动员，为了优先考虑自己的精神状态而退出最受尊崇的体育赛事，这在文化层面具有影响力，但其本质却非常简单)”可知，此处需对“简单的本质”进行反问式强化，进一步肯定“优先自身状态”的合理性。G选项“Why shouldn’t she put others’ expectations second if feeling completely overwhelmed?(如果感到完全不堪重负，她为什么不能把别人的期望放在第二位呢？)”符合语境。故选G项。 【20题详解】 根据后文“According to Steve Magness, an Olympic athletics coach and performance scientist, “You spend years building towards a moment and have external pressure coming at you which transforms into unbelievable internal pressure. I don’t think the everyday person understands that.” Magness has spent a decade researching toughness, namely, our “deep misunderstanding” of what it really means. “The easy dec. was to push onwards no matter what. You can always defend ‘trying’. The hard decision was to say no.”(奥运田径教练兼运动表现科学家史蒂夫・马格尼斯表示：“你花数年时间为某个关键时刻做准备，期间会承受各种外界压力，这些压力又会转化为难以想象的内在压力。我认为普通人无法理解这种感受。” 马格尼斯花了十年时间研究 “坚韧” 这一品质，他指出，我们对 “坚韧” 的真正含义存在 “深度误解”。“无论如何都要咬牙坚持，这是容易做出的选择——因为“努力尝试”总能找到理由辩解。而敢于说‘不’，才是更艰难的决定。)”可知，本段核心围绕“运动员面临的压力与“拒绝”的“艰难抉择”展开，选项需先点明“奥运会赛事本身带来的压力”这一背景。B选项“The Olympic games are emotionally exhausting. (奥运会在情感上是令人疲惫的)”符合语境。故选B项。 第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题，每题1分，满分15分） One July afternoon witnessed a touching rescue that happened in Zhanjiang, China’s Guangdong Province.

What Chinese painters would like to produce in their paintings is not a visual effect of colors and patterns that Western painters tend ____39____ (achieve). The description of objects in Chinese paintings is by no means accurate because few painters ____40____ (concern) about their exact size or shape. What they want to seek is a spiritual world in their mind ____41____ nature provides exactly basic elements. This is how Chinese painters view nature. Remote mountains and running streams ____42____ (be) the primary materials of their thinking and creating since ancient times. Chinese artists often say that the artists first need to have a thorough and deep understanding of the natural ____43____ (exist) before drawing. With a long history of China, generations of Chinese painters express thoughts on the material world through this unique art form and leave a valuable treasure to the Chinese. Nowadays, the Chinese painting, as ____44____ important part of global culture, has become increasingly attractive across the world, _____45_____ (enjoy) great popularity at home and abroad. 【答案】36. fundamentally 37. in 38. harmonious 39. to achieve 40. are concerned 41. where 42. have been 43. existence 44. an 45. enjoying 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要以传统中国画为主题，讲述了其与西方绘画在表现形式，在意境表达方面的不同，一代又一代的中国画家通过这种独特的艺术形式表达对物质世界的思考，为中国人留下了宝贵的财富，并使其在世界范围内享有很高的知名度。 【36题详解】 考查副词。句意：传统中国画从根本上说是一种抽象艺术形式。分析可知，这里应是副词作状语。“fundamental”，形容词，意为“基础的，根本的”，其副词形式为“fundamentally(（引入话题时说）从根本上说，基本上)”，贴合语境。故填fundamentally。 【37题详解】 考查介词和固定短语。句意：与西方绘画相比，中国画中的对象对自然世界的模仿不那么直接。分析语境可知，这里将中国画与西方绘画相比较，“in comparison to”，固定短语，意为“与……相比较”。故填in。 【38题详解】 考查形容词。句意：实际上，中国画旨在表现自然世界与人类情感之间和谐关系。分析可知，形容词作定语修饰名词“relation”。“harmony”，名词，意为“和谐”，其形容词形式为“harmonious(和谐的)”。故填harmonious。 【39题详解】 考查动词不定式。句意：中国画家想要在他们的绘画中产生的不是西方画家倾向于达到的色彩和图案的视觉效果。分析可知，“tend to do”，意为“往往……，倾向于做某事”，动词不定式作宾语。故填to achieve。 【40题详解】 考查时态和被动。句意：中国画中对物体的描述是不准确的，因为很少有画家关心它们的确切大小或形状。分析可知，这里的“concern”为动词，应是“（使对……）感兴趣，使（自己）关心”含义，主语“few painters”与其之间为被动关系，且结合语境，这里应是一般现在时，因此，应是用一般现在时被动：are done。“be concerned about…”，意为“关心”。故填are concerned。 【41题详解】 考查定语从句引导词。句意：他们想要寻找的是一个心灵的精神世界，在这个世界里，大自然恰好提供了基本的元素。分析可知，“___6____ nature provides exactly basic elements”为之前“a spiritual world”的定语从句，先行词在从句中作地点状语，用关系副词where引导从句。故填where。 【42题详解】 考查时态。句意：自古以来，远山流水就是他们思考和创作的主要素材。分析可知，所填be作句子的谓语动词，结合时间状语“since ancient times”可知用现在完成时，主语为复数，应是“have done”。故填have been。 【43题详解】 考查名词。句意：中国艺术家常说，在绘画之前，艺术家首先需要对自然存在有一个透彻而深刻的理解。分析可知，“natural”为形容词，修饰名词，因此所填应是名词。“exist”，动词，意为“存在”，其名词形式为“existence”。故填existence。 【44题详解】 考查不定冠词。句意：如今，中国画作为全球文化的重要组成部分，在世界范围内越来越具有吸引力，在国内外享有很高的知名度。分析可知，“part”意为“部分”，为可数名词，因此，所填应是不定冠词作限定词，“important /ɪmˈpɔːtnt/”为元音音素开头的单词，应是用an。故填an。 【45题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：如今，中国画作为全球文化的重要组成部分，在世界范围内越来越具有吸引力，在国内外享有很高的知名度。分析可知，“____10____ (enjoy) great popularity at home and abroad”为状语，因此，这里应是非谓语形式。主语“the Chinese painting”与动词“enjoy”之间为主动关系，用现在分词形式。故填enjoying。 第三部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 你按英语报正在征稿，主题为“我的18岁生日”，请你写一篇英语短文投稿，内容包括： 1. 18岁生日的意义；2. 庆祝方式；3. 对未来的展望。 注意： 1. 词数100左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连续。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 My 18th Birthday Turning 18 is a big milestone in my life, indicating that I am growing into an independent and responsible adult.
