The results were striking: While the amount of time spent at work was cut substantially ___32___ measured by sales per employee went up by nearly 40% compared to the same period the previous year, the company stated in a release last week.

Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.

It became the most ____42____ book about the “Lost Generation” in post war Europe. Hemingway became famous “gradually and then suddenly”.

He remains the most famous American novelist of his century, ____43____ mentions in Google’s collection of written or spoken a texts. His Wikipedia page also gets more views than those of his contemporaries, including F. Scott Fitzgerald and John Steinbeck (see chart). Why? There are three reasons. First nobody had ____44____ like him before. A short clean sentence is a fine thing. He knew what to____45____, as he explained: “If a writer knows enough of what he is writing about, he may omit things that he knows and if the writer is writing truly enough, the readers will have a feeling of those things strongly as though the writer had stated them.” This ____46____ style influenced writers of fiction — notably Norman Mailer, Cormac McCarthy and Raymond Carver — as well as journalists. Second, his heroes attracted famous ____47____. He defined courage as “grace under pressure”: martially, for the soldier Frederick Henry in “A Farewell to Arms”; physically, for the fisherman Santiago in “The Old Man and the Sea”. In 1955, John F. Kennedy, the 35th US President, asked for Hemingway’s ___48___ to use this definition in his biography “Profile in Courage. John McCain, a late politician, ____49____ Hemingway’s favourite novel “For Whom the Bell Tolls” in one of his own books: “The world is a fine place and worth the ____50____ for and I hate very much to leave it.” Third, and perhaps most important, Hemingway’s life became ____51____. He married four times, drank hard, was wounded in the First World War, reported on the Omaha Beach landings in the second, ran with the bulls in Spain and survived a plane crash in Africa. But beneath the seeming confidence, his inner world was ____52____; he suffered from depression. That has provided adequate material for biographies and documentaries.

For example, The Great Gatsby by Fitzgerald has been adapted into several widely discussed films and TV series. Hemingway’s heroes, ____54____, are becoming old-fashioned.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) My 14-year-old son, John, and I spotted the coat almost at the same time. It was hanging at a secondhand clothing store. While the other coats looked rather depressed, this one looked as if it were holding itself up. The thick, black wool of the chesterfield (长大衣) was soft and unworn. It was beautifully tailored and had an unbelievable price tag of $28. We looked at each other, saying nothing, but John’s eyes shone. Dark, woolen coats were popular with teenage boys; but could cost several hundred dollars new. This coat was even better, bearing that touch of classic elegance from long ago. John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror with a serious, studied expression that soon changed into a smile. The fit was perfect. John wore the coat to school the next day and came home with a grin. “How did the kids like your coat?” I asked. “They loved it!” he said merrily, carefully folding it over the back of a chair and smoothing it flat. Over the next few weeks, a change came over John. Agreement replaced protest; quiet, reasoned discussion replaced argument. He became more sensible, more polite, more thoughtful, eager to please. “Good dinner, Mom, ” he would say every evening. One day when I suggested that he might start on homework before dinner, John, who was always putting off doing stuff, said, “You’re right. I guess I will.” When I mentioned this incident to one of his teachers and remarked that I didn’t know what caused the changes, she said laughing. “It must be his coat!” At the library, we ran into a friend who had not seen our children for a long time, “Could this be John?” he asked, looking up to John’s new height, assessing the style of his coat and extending his hand, one gentleman to another. Sometimes, watching John leave for school, I’m reminded of what it felt like to be at his age — a time when it was as easy to try on different approaches to life as it was to try on a coat. 56. Why did John’s eyes shine when he saw the coat? A. It was the first time that he had been to a secondhand store. B. It was pleasant for him to share the same taste with mom. C. He fell in love with that coat and wanted to put it on. D. He managed to get his mom to buy him a new coat. 57. What does the underlined word “grin” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. A big smile. B. A sad look. C. A jealous remark. D. An anxious thought. 58. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. There was a trend of loving such coats among teenage boys then. B. John used to be disobedient towards parents’ demands. C. John acted like a gentleman after wearing the coat. D. The teacher didn’t understand why John changed a lot. 59. Which of the following might the best title? A. A Special Shopping Experience B. A Caring Mother C. A Magical Coat D. John’s Taste for Clothing (B) The Puffing Billy Railway, located about 40 km east of Melbourne, was constructed in the early 1900s to open up remote areas.

(C) I was reading college freshman essays when I was slowed and stunned by these words: “My new AI Bestie.” I had assigned my students a 500-word essay on artificial intelligence. As I expected the majority of essays detailed the functions and use of ChatGPT. What I did not anticipate was the “bestie” line in this particular piece, followed by more description of how she formed both a personal confidante and professional counseling relationship with her ChatGPT. A recent study reports that 70% of teens have used AI companions, with half using them regularly. The mental health implications are substantial: disruption of social skills, increased isolation, loneliness, and a new form of addiction. At its best, AI is a tool that guides us downstream. But for many young people, it is becoming a wave that could overwhelm them. What AI fails to offer us is touch, which separates humanity from machines. Humans are neurologically wired to require touch from other sentient (有感知能力的) beings. In a recent meta-analysis, German researchers confirmed that touch significantly benefits both physical and mental health. Interestingly, while robotic massage offered physical benefits, the mental health gains were notably weaker. Growing up in the ’70s, the options for non-sentient connections were limited to stuffed animals, pet rocks, and imaginary friends. Moving into the teen years, a number of my friends held fast to their favored stuffed animals, if in a more private manner. I never engaged in any of these relationships. I did, however, spend countless hours alone in my backyard playing real basketball with imaginary opponents, complete with graceful movements and mixes of victories and defeats. This activity was my go-to in good times and bad, whether I was feeling alone or connected. The physicality calmed and complemented me. The soft leather ball in my sweaty hands. The conversation between the sun and the light breeze on my face and forearms. This rapid heart rate experience cleared my mind and opened a space for me to explore my loss or celebration. Often, it moved me to reach out to others in search of comfort and connection. Loneliness doesn’t fade away at the borders of any time or generation. Nor does the need for us to engage all of our senses in separate and shared synergy (协同作用). Following my panic after reading my student’s AI essay, I returned to my smartphone’s newsfeed. There, I saw a trend of Millennials and Gen Zers migrating towards the unplugged activities of the older generations: board games, community gardens, fishing, and vinyl records. Reading these reports about the shift to broader, collective sensory experiences that are essential to our psychological well-being replenishes (重新充满) my hope for humanity. No, we won’t eradicate the AI footprint. That should never be the goal. AI has too much constructive value for our world. We just need to redouble our efforts to understand the benefits and limitations of its place in our lives. 63. The word “confidante” (paragraph 2) most likely refers to a person (or thing) that one can ________. A. program with professional skills. B. trust with private thoughts and feelings. C. purchase at an affordable price. D. use to complete academic assignments. 64. By stating “At its best, AI is a tool that guides us downstream. But for many young people, it is becoming a wave that could overwhelm them”, the author means that ________. A. AI is most useful when it is used near rivers and oceans. B. AI is a powerful force that can either assist or drown its users. C young people are using AI to create powerful waves on social media. D. the primary function of AI is to predict natural disasters like floods. 65. The author mentions his experience of playing basketball in the backyard mainly to ________. A. show his personal way of coping with emotions through sensory engagement. B. prove that imaginary relationships are far better than using AI friends. C. argue that sports are the only solution to the problem of loneliness. D. compare his childhood hobbies with the current trends of his students. 66. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. The Rise of AI: From Tools to Best Friends. B. Why AI Can Replace Human Touch. C. Human Touch in a Digital World. D. How College Students Use ChatGPT to Write Essays. Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. At a Loss for Words Imagine a friend is heading out to face a difficult task. As a last word before they disappear, you want to encourage them. What might you say? If you are speaking English, the likeliest choice is “good luck”. If you stop to think about it, that is a little odd. Though you might indeed hope luck smiles on your friend, neither they nor you can do much about the probability.___67___That is why the French, in this situation, say “bon courage”, not “good luck”. English does not allow you to pair any old adjective with any old noun in a fixed expression. You may wish someone “good morning”, “good afternoon” or “good night”, but not “good weekend”.___68___However, in other languages it is perfectly usual. ___69___. English-speakers wish each other a happy birthday, but speakers of many other languages say “congratulations” as if the birthday girl had done something impressive merely by surviving another year. The Dutch also say “gefeliciteerd” to members of the family, including the one who really deserves congratulating: the mother. This is close to obligatory(义务的),while it would come as a strange surprise in English. It is tempting to draw deep cultural conclusions from the presence of this or the absence of that in a language.___70___ For example, the English do say the typical French words bon voyage and bon appetit, and there’s no reason to stop there. Congratulate your mother-in-law on your wife’s birthday, and you can prepare for a delighted smile back. It may seem awkward or tricky at first but you can make it stick if you try. A. Special occasions are another way in which languages differ. B. It is natural to be critical of languages that lack expressions you think necessary. C. What you really want to wish them is courage not fortune. D. Having no English equivalent is annoying for those who are used to it. E. You can say that phrase if you like, but your neighbour would look at you strangely. F. But not having a word for something doesn’t mean you can’t coin one—or borrow it. IV. Translation Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets. 71. 医疗人员敦促游客们时刻戴好口罩。(urge) (汉译英) 72. 他感到很丢脸，忍不住流着眼泪冲了出去。(help) (汉译英) ________________________________________________________________ 73. 如果你用更短的时间对客户的需求了如指掌，你将有更大的可能成功申请到销售经理的职位。（likely）（汉译英） ________________________________________________________________ 74. 随着大家健康意识的提高，逢年过节时不再像以前那样胡吃海喝了，正所谓健康的关键在于饮食。（as）（汉译英） ________________________________________________________________ V. Guided Writing 75. Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below. 假如你是明自中学的高三学生李华，近来你收到了朋友王磊的邮件（内容如下），请根据他的邮件内容写封回信，邮件内容包括： 1. 提出你的建议； 2. 说明你的理由。 Dear Li Hua, Hope you’re doing great! I’ve decided to choose Psychology as my major at university because I’m really passionate about it. But the problem is, my parents are totally against it and insist that I study Robotics instead.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) My 14-year-old son, John, and I spotted the coat almost at the same time. It was hanging at a secondhand clothing store. While the other coats looked rather depressed, this one looked as if it were holding itself up. The thick, black wool of the chesterfield (长大衣) was soft and unworn. It was beautifully tailored and had an unbelievable price tag of $28. We looked at each other, saying nothing, but John’s eyes shone. Dark, woolen coats were popular with teenage boys; but could cost several hundred dollars new. This coat was even better, bearing that touch of classic elegance from long ago. John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror with a serious, studied expression that soon changed into a smile. The fit was perfect. John wore the coat to school the next day and came home with a grin. “How did the kids like your coat?” I asked. “They loved it!” he said merrily, carefully folding it over the back of a chair and smoothing it flat. Over the next few weeks, a change came over John. Agreement replaced protest; quiet, reasoned discussion replaced argument. He became more sensible, more polite, more thoughtful, eager to please. “Good dinner, Mom, ” he would say every evening. One day when I suggested that he might start on homework before dinner, John, who was always putting off doing stuff, said, “You’re right. I guess I will.” When I mentioned this incident to one of his teachers and remarked that I didn’t know what caused the changes, she said laughing. “It must be his coat!” At the library, we ran into a friend who had not seen our children for a long time, “Could this be John?” he asked, looking up to John’s new height, assessing the style of his coat and extending his hand, one gentleman to another. Sometimes, watching John leave for school, I’m reminded of what it felt like to be at his age — a time when it was as easy to try on different approaches to life as it was to try on a coat. 56. Why did John’s eyes shine when he saw the coat? A. It was the first time that he had been to a secondhand store. B. It was pleasant for him to share the same taste with mom. C. He fell in love with that coat and wanted to put it on. D He managed to get his mom to buy him a new coat. 57. What does the underlined word “grin” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. A big smile. B. A sad look. C. A jealous remark. D. An anxious thought. 58. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. There was a trend of loving such coats among teenage boys then. B. John used to be disobedient towards parents’ demands. C. John acted like a gentleman after wearing the coat. D. The teacher didn’t understand why John changed a lot. 59. Which of the following might the best title? A. A Special Shopping Experience B. A Caring Mother C. A Magical Coat D. John’s Taste for Clothing 【答案】56. C 57. A 58. D 59. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者给儿子买了一件他喜欢的外套，儿子穿上去上学后有了全新的改变。作者因此感悟到如果我们穿着得体，思想行为也会与之相配的，因为我们所穿的衣服会一定程度的影响我们的内在。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“My 14-year-old son, John, and I spotted the coat almost at the same time. It was hanging at a secondhand clothing store. While the other coats looked rather depressed, this one looked as if it were holding itself up. The thick, black wool of the chesterfield (长大衣) was soft and unworn. It was beautifully tailored and had an unbelievable price tag of $28. We looked at each other, saying nothing, but John’s eyes shone. Dark, woolen coats were popular with teenage boys; but could cost several hundred dollars new.(我和14岁的儿子约翰几乎同时发现了这件外套。挂在一家二手服装店。其他的外套看起来都很压抑，而这件外套看起来却挺得住。厚的，黑色的羊毛的切斯特菲尔德是柔软的，没有磨损。这件衣服剪裁精美，标价28美元，令人难以置信。我们面面相觑，什么也没说，但约翰的眼睛闪闪发光。深色的羊毛外套在十几岁的男孩中很受欢迎；但是可能要花费几百美元)”可知，约翰看到那件外套时眼睛闪闪发光因为他爱上了那件外套，想穿上它。故选C。 【57题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文““How did the kids like your coat?” I asked. “They loved it!” he said merrily, carefully folding it over the back of a chair and smoothing it flat.(“孩子们喜欢你的外套吗？”我问。“他们很喜欢！”他高兴地说，小心地把它叠在椅背上，把它抚平)”可知，儿子的同学都很喜欢这件衣服，儿子很高兴，是带着微笑回来的，故划线词意思是“大大的微笑”。故选A。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“When I mentioned this incident to one of his teachers and remarked that I didn’t know what caused the changes, she said laughing. “It must be his coat!”(当我向他的一位老师提到这件事，并说我不知道是什么导致了这些变化时，她笑着说。“一定是因为他的外套！”)”可知，D选项“老师不明白为什么约翰改变了很多”不正确。故选D。 【59题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Sometimes, watching John leave for school, I’m reminded of what it felt like to be at his age — a time when it was as easy to try on different approaches to life as it was to try on a coat.(有时，看着约翰去上学，我想起了在他这个年纪的感觉——在那个时候，尝试不同的生活方式就像试一件外套一样容易)”结合文章主要讲述了作者给儿子买了一件他喜欢的外套，儿子穿上去上学后有了全新的改变。作者因此感悟到如果我们穿着得体，思想行为也会与之相配的，因为我们所穿的衣服会一定程度的影响我们的内在。可知，C选项“一件神奇的外套”最符合文章标题。故选C。 (B) The Puffing Billy Railway, located about 40 km east of Melbourne, was constructed in the early 1900s to open up remote areas.

As I expected, the majority of essays detailed the functions and use of ChatGPT. What I did not anticipate was the “bestie” line in this particular piece, followed by more description of how she formed both a personal confidante and professional counseling relationship with her ChatGPT. A recent study reports that 70% of teens have used AI companions, with half using them regularly. The mental health implications are substantial: disruption of social skills, increased isolation, loneliness, and a new form of addiction. At its best, AI is a tool that guides us downstream. But for many young people, it is becoming a wave that could overwhelm them. What AI fails to offer us is touch, which separates humanity from machines. Humans are neurologically wired to require touch from other sentient (有感知能力的) beings. In a recent meta-analysis, German researchers confirmed that touch significantly benefits both physical and mental health. Interestingly, while robotic massage offered physical benefits, the mental health gains were notably weaker. Growing up in the ’70s, the options for non-sentient connections were limited to stuffed animals, pet rocks, and imaginary friends. Moving into the teen years, a number of my friends held fast to their favored stuffed animals, if in a more private manner. I never engaged in any of these relationships. I did, however, spend countless hours alone in my backyard playing real basketball with imaginary opponents, complete with graceful movements and mixes of victories and defeats. This activity was my go-to in good times and bad, whether I was feeling alone or connected. The physicality calmed and complemented me. The soft leather ball in my sweaty hands. The conversation between the sun and the light breeze on my face and forearms. This rapid heart rate experience cleared my mind and opened a space for me to explore my loss or celebration. Often, it moved me to reach out to others in search of comfort and connection. Loneliness doesn’t fade away at the borders of any time or generation. Nor does the need for us to engage all of our senses in separate and shared synergy (协同作用). Following my panic after reading my student’s AI essay, I returned to my smartphone’s newsfeed. There, I saw a trend of Millennials and Gen Zers migrating towards the unplugged activities of the older generations: board games, community gardens, fishing, and vinyl records. Reading these reports about the shift to broader, collective sensory experiences that are essential to our psychological well-being replenishes (重新充满) my hope for humanity. No, we won’t eradicate the AI footprint. That should never be the goal. AI has too much constructive value for our world. We just need to redouble our efforts to understand the benefits and limitations of its place in our lives. 63. The word “confidante” (paragraph 2) most likely refers to a person (or thing) that one can ________. A. program with professional skills. B. trust with private thoughts and feelings. C. purchase at an affordable price. D. use to complete academic assignments. 64. By stating “At its best, AI is a tool that guides us downstream. But for many young people, it is becoming a wave that could overwhelm them”, the author means that ________. A. AI is most useful when it is used near rivers and oceans. B. AI is a powerful force that can either assist or drown its users. C. young people are using AI to create powerful waves on social media. D. the primary function of AI is to predict natural disasters like floods. 65. The author mentions his experience of playing basketball in the backyard mainly to ________. A. show his personal way of coping with emotions through sensory engagement. B. prove that imaginary relationships are far better than using AI friends. C. argue that sports are the only solution to the problem of loneliness. D. compare his childhood hobbies with the current trends of his students. 66. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. The Rise of AI: From Tools to Best Friends. B. Why AI Can Replace Human Touch. C. Human Touch in a Digital World. D. How College Students Use ChatGPT to Write Essays. 【答案】63. B 64. B 65. A 66. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨AI陪伴对青少年心理健康的影响，强调人类触觉与感官互动的重要性及平衡AI使用的必要性。 【63题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“how she formed both a personal confidante and professional counseling relationship with her ChatGPT（她如何与ChatGPT既建立了私人confidante关系，又建立了专业咨询关系）”可知，“confidante”与“professional counseling”并列，且修饰词为“personal（私人的）”，结合常识推测，其应指能让人倾诉私人想法与感受的对象。故选B项。 【64题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“At its best, AI is a tool that guides us downstream. But for many young people, it is becoming a wave that could overwhelm them (在最佳状态下，AI是引导我们顺流而下的工具。但对许多年轻人来说，它正变成一股可能将他们淹没的浪潮）”可知，作者用“顺流而下的工具”比喻AI的辅助作用，用“淹没的浪潮”比喻AI可能带来的负面影响（如社交技能受损、孤独感加剧等），即AI既能帮助用户，也可能对用户造成困扰。故选B项。 【65题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The physicality calmed and complemented me. The soft leather ball in my sweaty hands. The conversation between the sun and the light breeze on my face and forearms. This rapid heart rate experience cleared my mind and opened a space for me to explore my loss or celebration. Often, it moved me to reach out to others in search of comfort and connection.(这种身体上的互动让我平静下来，也给了我慰藉。汗水浸湿的双手紧握着柔软的皮球，阳光与微风轻拂过我的脸庞和前臂，仿佛在无声交流。这段心跳加速的经历让我的思绪变得清晰，也为我打开了一片空间，去梳理内心的失落或喜悦。通常，正是这种体验促使我主动联系他人，寻求慰藉与情感联结)”可知，作者提及后院打篮球的经历，是为了展示自己通过身体感官互动（触摸篮球、感受阳光微风等）来调节情绪、缓解孤独的个人方式。故选A项。 【66题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，作者从学生作文中“AI挚友”的表述切入，指出AI陪伴对青少年的负面影响（缺乏触觉、加剧孤独等），通过自身经历强调人类触觉与感官互动的重要性，最后提到年轻人回归线下活动的趋势，呼吁平衡AI使用。核心围绕“数字世界中的人类触觉与感官联结”展开。C项“数字世界中的人类触觉”为最佳标题。故选C项。 Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. At a Loss for Words Imagine a friend is heading out to face a difficult task. As a last word before they disappear, you want to encourage them. What might you say? If you are speaking English, the likeliest choice is “good luck”. If you stop to think about it, that is a little odd. Though you might indeed hope luck smiles on your friend, neither they nor you can do much about the probability.___67___That is why the French, in this situation, say “bon courage”, not “good luck”. English does not allow you to pair any old adjective with any old noun in a fixed expression. You may wish someone “good morning”, “good afternoon” or “good night”, but not “good weekend”.___68___However, in other languages it is perfectly usual. ___69___. English-speakers wish each other a happy birthday, but speakers of many other languages say “congratulations” as if the birthday girl had done something impressive merely by surviving another year. The Dutch also say “gefeliciteerd” to members of the family, including the one who really deserves congratulating: the mother. This is close to obligatory(义务的),while it would come as a strange surprise in English. It is tempting to draw deep cultural conclusions from the presence of this or the absence of that in a language.___70___ For example, the English do say the typical French words bon voyage and bon appetit, and there’s no reason to stop there. Congratulate your mother-in-law on your wife’s birthday, and you can prepare for a delighted smile back. It may seem awkward or tricky at first but you can make it stick if you try. A. Special occasions are another way in which languages differ. B. It is natural to be critical of languages that lack expressions you think necessary. C. What you really want to wish them is courage not fortune. D. Having no English equivalent is annoying for those who are used to it. E. You can say that phrase if you like, but your neighbour would look at you strangely. F. But not having a word for something doesn’t mean you can’t coin one—or borrow it. 【答案】67. C 68. E 69. A 70. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章对比了语言之间的区别，例如在给人加油鼓劲时和过生日时，各个语言说的话反应出了不同的文化背景。 【67题详解】 下文“That is why the French, in this situation, say “bon courage”, not “good luck”.(这就是为什么法国人在这种情况下说“要有勇气”，而不是“祝你好运”)”提到法国人常说“bon courage”，指的是要有勇气，表示鼓励、加油等含义，关键词为courage“勇气”，空处位于段中，为承上启下，也需要提到courage。C项“你真正想祝福他们的是勇气而不是好运。”中courage为原词复现。故选C项。 【68题详解】 上文“English does not allow you to pair any old adjective with any old noun in a fixed expression. You may wish someone “good morning”, “good afternoon” or “good night”, but not “good weekend”.(英语不允许你在固定表达中把任何旧形容词和任何旧名词搭配在一起。你可能会对某人说“早上好”、“下午好”或“晚安”，但不是“周末好”)”提到英文中表达习惯；下文“However, in other languages it is perfectly usual.(然而，在其他语言中这是非常常见的。)”对上文内容进行转折，表示在其他语言中说“周末好”等是很常见的现象。由此推知，空处应该表达上文提到的事情是不常见的。E项“如果你愿意，你可以说那句话，但是你的邻居会奇怪地看着你。”符合逻辑，因为所提事情不常见，所以如果你违反英文表达习惯说英语，你的邻居会用奇怪的眼神看着你。故选E项。 【69题详解】 空处为本段主旨句，起总述作用。下文“English-speakers wish each other a happy birthday, but speakers of many other languages say “congratulations” as if the birthday girl had done something impressive merely by surviving another year.(说英语的人互相祝对方生日快乐，但说其他许多语言的人说“祝贺”，好像寿星女仅仅是又活了一年就做了什么了不起的事似的。)”提到一个特定场合——生日，所以本段主要内容为不同语言在特定的场合下的不同之处。A项“特殊场合下的语言又会有其他的不同之处。”符合段意。故选A项。 【70题详解】 下文“For example, the English do say the typical French words bon voyage and bon appétit, and there’s no reason to stop there.(例如，英国人确实会说典型的法语单词bon voyage和bon appétit，而且没有理由在那里停下来。)”提到英国人有时会借鉴法语单词，由此可以推出，有时候我们可以借用外国的词汇。F项“但是没有表达某事的词并不意味着你不能创造一个词或者借用一个词。”符合前后逻辑。故选F项。 IV. Translation Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets. 71. 医疗人员敦促游客们时刻戴好口罩。(urge) (汉译英) 【答案】Medical workers/staff urged tourists to wear masks properly all the time. 【解析】 【详解】考查名词短语、动词短语和时态。主语“医疗人员”可译为名词短语medical workers或medical staff，“敦促某人做某事”可用动词短语urge sb. to do sth.，句子可理解为描述过去发生的事情，时态应用一般过去时，谓语动词urge用过去式，“游客们”可译为名词tourists，“戴好口罩”可译为动词短语wear masks properly，“时刻”可译为固定短语all the time。故译为：Medical workers/staff urged tourists to wear masks properly all the time. 72. 他感到很丢脸，忍不住流着眼泪冲了出去。(help) (汉译英) ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】He felt extremely ashamed and couldn’t help running out with tears in his eyes. 【解析】 【详解】考查动词短语、时态和非谓语动词。主语“他”用人称代词he；谓语“感到”用连系动词feel，描述过去发生的事情用一般过去时态felt；表语“丢脸”用形容词ashamed；“很”表程度，可用副词extremely作状语；“忍不住做某事”处理为并列谓语动词，用连词and连接，用动词短语can’t help doing sth.表示，用一般过去时态couldn’t help doing sth.；“冲出去”用动词短语run out，用动名词running out作宾语；伴随状语“流着眼泪”可处理为with复合结构with tears in his eyes。综上，全句译为：He felt extremely ashamed and couldn’t help running out with tears in his eyes. 73. 如果你用更短的时间对客户的需求了如指掌，你将有更大的可能成功申请到销售经理的职位。（likely）（汉译英） ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】If it takes you a shorter time to know exactly/perfectly/be well-informed of customers’ needs, you will be more likely to succeed in applying for a position as sales manager. 【解析】 【详解】考查条件状语从句，时态，主谓一致和固定短语。“如果你用更短的时间对客户的需求了如指掌”用if引导的条件状语从句，时态用一般现在时表将来，“更短的时间做某事”是固定短语it takes you a shorter time to do sth.，其中it是形式主语，真正的主语是不定式，“对……了如指掌”是know exactly/perfectly/be well-informed of，“客户的需求”是customers’ needs，“你将有更大的可能成功申请到销售经理的职位”用一般将来时，“有更大的可能做某事”是be more likely to do，“成功做某事”是succeed in doing，“申请”是apply for，用动名词作宾语，“销售经理的职位”是a position as sales manager，因此整句话翻译为“If it takes you a shorter time to know exactly/perfectly/be well-informed of customers’ needs, you will be more likely to succeed in applying for a position as sales manager”，故答案为If it takes you a shorter time to know exactly/perfectly/be well-informed of customers’ needs, you will be more likely to succeed in applying for a position as sales manager. 74. 随着大家健康意识的提高，逢年过节时不再像以前那样胡吃海喝了，正所谓健康的关键在于饮食。（as）（汉译英） ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】With people’s awareness of health raised, they no longer indulge in excessive eating and drinking during holidays as they used to. As the saying goes, the key to health consists in diet. 【解析】 【详解】考查时态、with复合结构、方式状语从句、定语从句、宾语从句。表示“随着大家健康意识的提高”用with复合结构With people’s awareness of health raised作状语，其中people’s awareness of health“大家的健康意识”作介词宾语，和raise“提高”为被动关系，故用过去分词raised作宾补；主句部分“逢年过节时不再像以前那样胡吃海喝了”，陈述事实用一般现在时。结合句意可知，主句主语为“他们”用they，表示“不再胡吃海喝了”用no longer indulge in excessive eating and drinking。“不再像以前那样”用as they used to，其中as引导的方式状语从句；表示“正所谓健康的关键在于饮食”可用as引导的非限制性定语从句，“正所谓”译为as the saying goes，“健康的关键在于饮食”主语使用名词短语the key to health，谓语动词consist in意为“在于”可作谓语，使用一般现在时第三人称单数形式，diet作其宾语。故翻译为With people’s awareness of health raised, they no longer indulge in excessive eating and drinking during holidays as they used to. As the saying goes, the key to health consists in diet. V. Guided Writing 75.
