Note that there is one word more than you need. A. commonplace B. counter C. dramatic D. drive E. instant F. largely G. mention H. practically I. relocate J. settled K. sought The Pioneer of Chinese Food in America She has been called nearly every superlative: a pioneer, an icon and the grande dame (女王) of Chinese cuisine. Cecilia Chiang (江孙芸) has been ____16____ credited with introducing regional Chinese dishes to the United States. She is the person who has transformed the way Americans think about Chinese cooking. Chiang opened a high-end restaurant, called the Mandarin (福禄寿餐厅), in 1961. At the Mandarin, visitors could enjoy dishes fairly ____17____ to diners today but that many Americans had never tried before — potstickers(锅贴), Peking duck and hot and sour soup. Chiang was born the seventh of 12 children to a wealthy family near Shanghai in 1920. She grew up in luxury in Beijing. In 1949, her family ____18____ in Tokyo, investing in a restaurant called the Forbidden City. But it was a 1960 trip to visit her sister Sophie in San Francisco that set Chiang on her ____19____ journey to culinary fame. Chiang was not a chef. Nor had she ever opened a restaurant on her own. But she had ____20____ and a determination to make the business work. Amazed by the lack of variety in Chinatown, Chiang ____21____ to create a space in the image of the food she grew up with: elegant, refined and technique-driven. This was directly ____22____ to the quick-and-easy stereotype that many Americans held about the cuisine. The restaurant wasn’t immediately successful. About a year after opening, the Mandarin received a ____23____ from the San Francisco Chronicle’s Herb Caen. The effect of the powerful columnist’s write-up was ____24____. Soon, there was a line out the door. The success caused Chiang to ____25____ the 65-seat restaurant to a larger space in Ghirardelli Square in 1968. The Mandarin became a must-visit for celebrities from both in and out of the food community. (B) Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. annoying B. commitment C. frame D. imaginary E. initial F. launching G. like-minded H. map I. spent J. visualization K. work Vision boards, five-year plans, and strategic roadmaps — these are practical tools for anyone looking to shape their future. They help us____26____out our aspirations and pave pathways toward our dreams. Yet, in my experience, while these methods ____27____our intentions, they don’t always bring us closer to the reality of future success. So, how do we bridge the gap between planning and experiencing? The most successful way, I’ve found, is not just to imagine the future, but to actually “visit” it. This isn’t just another ____28____ technique. It’s a time travel mission to your future self. What makes this thought experiment unique is that we don’t stop at the ____29____ pad of success. We propel ourselves beyond, to explore what life looks like after those goals are achieved. This exercise has been proven to ____30____ wonders inside of the SPI Community. SPI — short for “Smart Passive Income” — started as a blog in 2008 for me to journal my business learnings and share it with others, but in 2020 the brand pivoted to a community-centered approach because we’ve found (and the data shows) that people are more likely to succeed when working together with other ____31____ peers. I frequently guide our members and students through this time travel thought experiment, and it always leads to numerous revelations and a deeper understanding of the consequences of decisions made today. Sometimes, a student will realize that the business idea they have, even if it were to succeed, would not lead them to a life of happiness and fulfillment. It’s quite a(n) ____32____ realization when you discover that what you’ve been excited about all this time isn’t actually the right path for you, but it’s also a gift to learn that up front. Other times, the opposite will happen. A trip into the future reinforces a direction and provides a boost of energy, allowing a person to more easily remove those Junk Sparks that don’t align with the goal. ____33____ is the bridge between what’s possible and what becomes reality. It’s about setting ____34____ steps, defining achievable goals, and deciding on the right amount of time and resources before reevaluating. It ensures that our energies are not just well____35____, but also brings us closer to the life we want to lead. Ⅳ. Reading Comprehension (15°+30°=45’) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Want a job with a successful multinational? You will face lots of ____36____. Two years ago Goldman Sachs received a quarter of a million applications from students and graduates, which are a ____37____ problem for companies. If a team of five Goldman human-resources staff, working 12 hours every day, including weekends, spent five minutes on each application, they would take nearly a year to complete the task of sifting(筛选) through the ____38____. Little wonder that most large firms use a computer program, or algorithm (算法), when it comes to ____39____candidates seeking junior jobs. And that means applicants would ____40____ from knowing exactly what the algorithms are looking for. Victoria McLean set up a business called City CV, which helps job candidates with applications. She says the applicant-tracking systems (ATS) ____41____ up to 75% of CVs, or résumés, before a human sees them. Such systems are ____42____ for keywords that meet the employer’s criteria. One tip is to study the language used in the job advertisement; if the ____43____ PM are used for project management, then make sure PM appears in your CV. ____44____ the ATS stage may not be the job hunter’s only technological barrier. Many companies, including Vodafone and Intel, use a video-interview service called HireVue. Candidates are quizzed while an artificial-intelligence (AI) program analyses their facial expressions (maintaining eye contact with the camera is ____45____) and language patterns (sounding confident is the trick). Only if they pass that test will the applicants meet some humans. You might expect AI programs to be able to avoid some of the biases of ____46____ recruitment methods — particularly the tendency for interviewers to favour candidates who resemble the interviewer. ____47____, discrimination can show up in unexpected ways. Anja Lambrecht and Catherine Tucker, two economists, placed adverts promoting jobs in science, technology, engineering and math on Facebook. They found that the ads were less likely to be shown to women than to men. This was not due to a conscious bias on the part of the Facebook algorithm. Rather, young women are a more valuable demographic group on Facebook (because they control a high share of household spending) and thus ads targeting them are more ____48____. The algorithm ____49____ targeted pages where the return on investment is highest: for men, not women. Apart from potential bias in AI system, companies also need to consider whether the programs do more than just simplify the process. For instance, do successful candidates have long and productive careers? Staff churn (流失), ____50____, is one of the biggest recruitment costs that firms face. 36. A. difficulties B. questions C. competition D. tasks 37. A. complex B. underlying C. technical D. practical 38. A. pile B. crop C. mass D. project 39.

A. expensive B. affordable C. profitable D. competitive 49. A. professionally B. naturally C. arguably D. unfortunately 50. A. in turn B. after all C. all in all D. above all Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. 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) Have compassion. Deep breath. Have compassion, have compassion, have compassion... I’m repeating this phrase in my head like a mantra as the forty-year-old man sitting across from me is telling me about all of the people in his life who are “idiots.” Why, he wants to know, is the world filled with so many idiots? Are they born this way? Do they become this way? Maybe, he muses, it has something to do with all the artificial chemicals that are added to the food we eat nowadays. “That’s why I try to eat organic,” he says. “So I don’t become an idiot like everyone else.” I’m losing track of which idiot he’s talking about: the coworker who only asks questions (“He never makes statements, because that would imply that he had something to say”), the driver in front of him who stopped at a yellow light (“No sense of urgency!”), the Apple technician at the Genius Bar who couldn’t fix his laptop (“Some genius!”). “John,” I begin, but he’s starting to tell a rambling story about his wife. I can’t get a word in edgewise, even though he has come to me for help. “And then Margo gets angry — can you believe it?” he’s saying. “But she doesn’t tell me she’s angry. She just acts angry, and I’m supposed to ask her what’s wrong. But I know if I ask, she’ll say, ‘Nothing,’ the first three times, and then maybe the fourth or fifth time she’ll say, ‘You know what’s wrong,’ and I’ll say, ‘No, I don’t, or I wouldn’t be asking!’” He smiles. It’s a huge smile. I try to work with the smile-anything to change his monologue into a dialogue and make contact with him. “I’m curious about your smile just now,” I say. “Because you’re talking about being frustrated by many people, including Margo, and yet you’re smiling.” His smile gets bigger. He has the whitest teeth I’ve ever seen. They’re gleaming like diamonds. “I’m smiling, Sherlock, because 3 !” “Ah!” I reply. “So —” “Wait, wait. I’m getting to the best part,” he interrupts. “So, like I said, I really do know what’s wrong, but I’m not that interested in hearing another complaint. So this time, instead of asking, I decide I’m going to —” He stops and peers at the clock on the bookshelf behind me. “John,” I try again. “I wonder if we can go back to what just happened—” “Oh, good,” he says, cutting me off. “I still have twenty minutes left.” And then he’s back to his story. 51. Why does the narrator repeat “have compassion” and write them in italics (斜体)? A. To show that she feels sorry for John’s behavior. B. To highlight her attempt to remain calm and composed. C. To emphasize the most important advice the narrator gives to John. D. To indicate that she is a naturally compassionate person. 52. What is the relationship between the narrator and John? A. Close friend who talk about personal problems B. Therapist and patient C. Rival colleagues working in the same company D. Family members 53. Which of the following sentences best fits the blank in the sentence “I’m smiling, Sherlock, because ?” A. I know exactly what’s bothering my wife! B. I am thinking about something funny! C. Our dialogue turns out to be rewarding finally! D. I am glad I don’t have to listen to her complaints! 54. According to the writing, what kind of person is John? A. A man who is deeply troubled by his own inadequacies and seeks change B. A man who constantly blames others for his problems and refuses to take responsibility C. A time-conscious man who values time management D. A self-centered man who lacks self-awareness (B) Overload stages the American writer David Foster Wallace in the act of delivering a speech, which soon takes on the structure of a hypertext. Between mass distractions and digital mutations, we are immersed in a media augmented environment. Over-stimulated by information, we live in a state of constant alert. Shouldn’t we be more silent and mindful? 19-20 October 2022 Teatro Grassi Sotterraneo, the theatrical research group founded in Florence in 2005 and composed of a fixed nucleus of authors accompanied by a range of collaborators according to the various projects, returns to the Piccolo with three shows. Each work produced by the group is like a probe launched to examine the linguistic possibilities of theatre, seen both as a physical and an intellectual place, one that is both ancient and inevitably contemporary. With cross-sector and multi-layered works, Sotterraneo spans formats, focusing on the contradictions and shadows of the present though an Avant-pop approach that seeks to express our era while walking a line between the collective imagination and the most anti-conventional of ideas. In Overload — winner of the 2018 UBU award for best show — the protagonist is David Foster Wallace. The writer presents a story that turns into hypertext, complete with sudden links that set in motion possible actions and visions, extra content that the audience alone decides to activate or not. It is a reflection on our condition as subjects overstimulated and constantly bombarded by information. Duration: 65’without interval 55. What can be learned about Sotterraneo? A. It is a long-established Florentine theater to explore the linguistic possibilities of play through an Avant-pop approach. B. It is comprised of long-term members and a cluster of collaborators whose numbers vary according to the project at hand. C. It focuses on historical themes through conventional theatrical formats D. It won the 2018 UBU award for best show with its first theatrical work. 56. A family of four (a 17-year-old child, parents, 70-year-old grandmother) wants to buy Stalls tickets. How much will they pay in total? A. €108 B. €75 C. €88 D. €113 57. What is the starting point on which Overload is based? A. the life of the American writer David Foster Wallace and his rise to fame B. madness pervading the world of communication and the illusion of knowledge C. the development of hypertext technology in this age of a myriad digital devices D. a reflection on the power of story telling amongst human beings C Social media and the Internet are changing the way we eat and cook. First they came for the eggs. Then the feta cheese, caviar, and cucumbers. In some countries, these ingredients even sold out: Iceland experienced a shortage of cucumbers, and feta briefly vanished from grocery-store shelves. The reason for the shortages? Food enthusiasts were eager to recreate viral videos in which these ingredients starred. People who learned to cook in kitchens or through books may scoff at the spread of online-cooking videos. But chefs have long embraced technology to instruct, share their culinary visions and build their careers. In the 1960s-70s Julia Child used television and helped popularize cookbooks, demystifying French food for those cooking at home. Successful online food celebrities “recognize and make a real effort to meet the specific needs of their viewers,” explains Madeline Buxton, culture and trends manager at YouTube. Some viewers want to be entertained; others want to learn, travel or eat vicariously through people more adventurous than they are. Unlike cooking shows on TV, barriers to entry for online-cooking videos are low. Creators who think they have a winning idea do not need to persuade agents, editors and network executives; they can shoot a video themselves on their phone and see if people like it. Established media companies have got in on the act, but the Internet is mostly full of shorter content. Whereas adventurous TikTokers have tried their hand at complex recipes, approachable food tends to perform best: one reason recipes for baked-feta pasta and cucumber salad went viral is that it is easy to melt cheese and slice cucumbers. It also helps to be visually attractive: viral videos tend to show off the texture and crunch of food. Sometimes creators are surprised by which of their videos take off. Mr. DiGiovanni recalls his first popular video, which showed him making a chocolate bar from whole cacao pods; it was “poorly shot: the lighting was messed up; it was overexposed”. But it has attracted almost 14m views. Much as other food creators do, he shows viewers things they would not otherwise see, and he has a good time doing it. This points to an important aspect of online food culture: fun. Julia Child certainly mastered the art of French cooking, and people who followed her recipes may have enjoyed themselves, but she most believed in the haute (高端的) part of haute cuisine. Reverence (崇敬) does poorly in the democratized world of online content, where training, background and even experience matter less than likeability, production value and whether a video makes you want to pick up a pan and start cooking. Now can you please pass the feta? 58. The author cites Julia Child as an example to suggest that ________. A. the current trend of online cooking videos is not an entirely new phenomenon B. the shortages of certain ingredients were a direct result of popular TV shows C. cooking shows on TV have higher barriers for content creators D. television was as important as social media in the spread of culinary culture 59. Which of the following statements might the author most probably agree with? A. A detailed instruction on how to make high-end French cuisine is likely to go viral. B. Ingredients like cucumbers sold out because of the popularization of French food. C. Even respected chefs cannot guarantee that their videos will take off. D. The shorter a food video is, the more likely it is to gain in popularity. 60. What can be inferred from the last sentence of the passage? A. The author highlights how modern cooking has been changed by the Internet. B. The author is drawn to the new culture of cooking on social media. C. The author is convinced that feta, as shown in the videos, can enhance the taste of food. D. The author's own culinary experiences haven't been influenced by online cooking videos. 61. Which of the following serves as the best title for the passage? A. From TV to TikTok: The Rise of Influencers B. A Taste of Trends: Culinary Journey Reshaped Online C. A Recipe for Success: How to Create Viral Cooking Videos D. Pass Me the Feta: Growing Appetite for Food Ingredients Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. Inconvenient Truths If doctors lie, it is surely inexcusable. But what would you think if I told you that research has shown that 70 per cent of doctors admitted lying to their patients? If I am honest, I have told lies to my patients. Mrs Walton was in her eighties and desperate to see her husband. She would try to get up to find him, despite being at risk of falling. “He’s on his way, don’ t worry,” the nurses would say this to calm her down. I said the same thing to her. But it was a lie. He died two years ago. ____62____ Mrs Walton is one of the dementia (痴呆) sufferers, who lose their short-term memory and the memory of recent events, but hold memories from the distant past. ____63____ Those with dementia often feel upset, scared and confused that they are in a strange place, surrounded by strange people, even when they are in their own homes with their family. They look at their adult children puzzled and wonder who they could be because they think their children are still little kids. I have had countless families break down in tears. ____64____ And how, as the doctor or nurse caring for these patients, does one manage the anger and outbursts of distress that come with having no knowledge of your life for the past ten or 20 years? Plotting with them about this false reality is not heartless or unprofessional. ____65____ But what kind-hearted person would put another human being through the unimaginable pain of learning, for the first time again and again that they have lost their beloved ones. It would be an unthinkable cruelness. A. They don’t know how to react as their loved one moves further away from them back into their distant past and they are left behind in the present. B. The truth, if I can use that word, is that it is a kindness to lie sometimes. C. The lies that doctors, nurses and families tell these patients are not big, elaborate lies — they are brief comforts intended to calm the subject. D. Huge strides have been made in understanding how different diseases cause damage in the brain and so produce dementia. E. Sufferers are trapped forever in a confusing past that many realize bears little connection to the present, but are at a loss to explain. F. That’s not to say that lying to patients with dementia unnecessarily is right or defensible. 第二卷 Section A (10’) Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. (A) 语法填空 Market-crash survivors Charlie Duncan could very well be the oldest man in Georgia. “I’ll be one hundred and six in May,” he said ___66___ other day at Benton House, a senior-living facility in the town of Woodstock. With that much mileage, he’s survived a few things, one of them____67____ (be) the stock-market crash of 1929. Duncan, who still has his hair and his wits, and tooled around behind the steering wheel of a PT Cruiser ___68___ a small car accident last year, was ten years old when the market crashed. At the time, his family had a farm in nearby Hickory Flat. “Cotton, corn, peanuts, sweet potatoes,” he recalled, ___69___ (lean) back in his recliner, beneath a framed certificate from the United Square Dancers of America. In October of 1929, Duncan recalled, his world changed: “I didn’t know what a stock was until somebody told me the whole thing crashed or smashed or ___70___ it was.” He thinks he heard the news from his father—“That’s how we heard most things,” he said. “All of a sudden you couldn’t sell your crops for nothing,” he added. Duncan ___71___ (hope) to grow up to be a country doctor. “There wasn’t enough of them around,” he said. “If you had a toothache, he pulled your tooth. A cut? He sewed it up.” The poor economy had stunted schools, too. “You couldn’t get schoolbooks,” he said. “Then our school burned down. You ___72___ walk several miles to another district.” When he was fifteen, his father pulled him out ___73___ (work) full time. The events of 1929 left Duncan with a sixth-grade education and a life of mostly physical labor. After serving in the Second World War, he worked at mills and as a craftsman who specialized in banisters for spiral staircases. He married twice: around forty years to each woman. He flipped a few houses and eventually made a little money, ___74___ he didn’t invest in the stock market. “I can not afford to lose it, because I can’t make no more,” he said. A friend arrived to take him to lunch at a biker bar, ____75____ wall holds a photo of Duncan with Rudolph Giuliani, who tracked him down for a pre-election photo op in 2024. (“He said hello, he smiled, then he left,” Duncan recalled, with a shrug.) (B) 语法填空 How to grow old -Bertrand Russell (excerpts) In spite of the title, this article will really be on how not ____76____(grow) old, which, at my time of life, is a much more important subject. Psychologically there are two dangers to be guarded ____77____ in old age. One of these is undue absorption in the past. One’s thoughts must ____78____(direct) to the future, and to things about which there is something to be done. This is not always easy, one’s own past is a gradually____79____(increase) weight. It is easy to think to oneself that one’s emotions used to be more vivid than they are, and one’s mind more keen. The other thing to be avoided is clinging to youth in the hope of sucking vigor from its vitality. When your children are grown up they want to live their own lives, and if you continue to be as interested in them as you were when they were young, you are likely to become a burden to them,____80____ they are unusually callous (无情的). Animals become indifferent to their young____81____ their young can look after themselves, but human beings find this difficult. I think that a successful old age is____82____ (easy) for those who have strong impersonal interests involving appropriate activities. But if you are one of those who are incapable of impersonal interests, you may find that your life will be empty unless you concern yourself with your children and grandchildren. In that case you must realize that while you can still render them material services, such as making them an allowance or knitting them jumpers, you must not expect that they will enjoy your company. An individual human existence should be like a river — small at first, narrowly____83____(contain) within its banks, and rushing passionately past rocks and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.

Section B: Summary Writing (10°) 86. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. How to influence clients to choose greener designs Although there are plenty of architectural firms with experience in green design, this is not enough to make green construction come into being. The driving force behind whether a building is constructed with minimal environmental impact lies with the owner of the building; that is, the person financing the project. If the owner considers green design unimportant, or of secondary importance, then more than likely, it will not be factored into the design. The commissioning (委任) process plays a key role in ensuring the owner gets the building he wants, in terms of design, costs and risk. Owners who skip the commissioning process, or fail to take “green” issues into account when doing so, often come a cropper once their building is up and running. Materials and equipment are installed as planned, and, at first glance, appear to fulfil their purpose adequately. However, in time, the owner realizes that operational and maintenance costs are higher than necessary. These factors in turn lead to higher ownership costs as well as increased environmental impact. In some cases, an owner may be aware of the latest trends in sustainable building design. However, firms should not take it as read that the client already has an idea of how green he intends the structure to be. Indeed, this initial interaction between owner and firm is the ideal time for a designer to outline and promote the ways that green design can meet the client’s objectives. Typically, when considering whether or not to adopt a green approach, an owner will ask about additional costs or return for investment. In a typical project, landscape architects, mechanical and electrical engineers do not become involved until a much later stage. However, in green design, they must be involved from the outset, since green design demands interaction between these disciplines. This increased cooperation clearly requires additional cost. However, there may be financial advantage for the client in choosing a greener design. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Section C: Translation (3’+3’+4+5’=15) 87. 谢谢你在这么短的时间内还同意见我。(notice) (汉译英) _________________________________________________________________ 88. 现代农业既依赖技术创新，也同样依赖有利的天气。（as...as）（汉译英） _________________________________________________________________________________________ 89. 零工经济（the gig economy）指临时或合同工作，并以灵活性为特点，带来喜忧参半的结果。（feature）（汉译英） _________________________________________________________________________________________ 90. 今年的赛事配备了全面升级的数字注册系统和扩大的报名选项，有望为全球跑步者带来更顺畅、更包容的参赛体验。(With) (汉译英) _________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年度第一学期 高二英语期中考试卷 (满分150分，120分钟完成。答案一律写在答题纸上) 第一卷 I.

They found that the ads were less likely to be shown to women than to men. This was not due to a conscious bias on the part of the Facebook algorithm. Rather, young women are a more valuable demographic group on Facebook (because they control a high share of household spending) and thus ads targeting them are more ____48____. The algorithm ____49____ targeted pages where the return on investment is highest: for men, not women. Apart from potential bias in AI system, companies also need to consider whether the programs do more than just simplify the process. For instance, do successful candidates have long and productive careers? Staff churn (流失), ____50____, is one of the biggest recruitment costs that firms face. 36.

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) Have compassion. Deep breath. Have compassion, have compassion, have compassion... I’m repeating this phrase in my head like a mantra as the forty-year-old man sitting across from me is telling me about all of the people in his life who are “idiots.” Why, he wants to know, is the world filled with so many idiots? Are they born this way? Do they become this way? Maybe, he muses, it has something to do with all the artificial chemicals that are added to the food we eat nowadays. “That’s why I try to eat organic,” he says. “So I don’t become an idiot like everyone else.” I’m losing track of which idiot he’s talking about: the coworker who only asks questions (“He never makes statements, because that would imply that he had something to say”), the driver in front of him who stopped at a yellow light (“No sense of urgency!”), the Apple technician at the Genius Bar who couldn’t fix his laptop (“Some genius!”). “John,” I begin, but he’s starting to tell a rambling story about his wife. I can’t get a word in edgewise, even though he has come to me for help. “And then Margo gets angry — can you believe it?” he’s saying. “But she doesn’t tell me she’s angry. She just acts angry, and I’m supposed to ask her what’s wrong. But I know if I ask, she’ll say, ‘Nothing,’ the first three times, and then maybe the fourth or fifth time she’ll say, ‘You know what’s wrong,’ and I’ll say, ‘No, I don’t, or I wouldn’t be asking!’” He smiles. It’s a huge smile. I try to work with the smile-anything to change his monologue into a dialogue and make contact with him. “I’m curious about your smile just now,” I say. “Because you’re talking about being frustrated by many people, including Margo, and yet you’re smiling.” His smile gets bigger. He has the whitest teeth I’ve ever seen. They’re gleaming like diamonds. “I’m smiling, Sherlock, because 3 !” “Ah!” I reply. “So —” “Wait, wait. I’m getting to the best part,” he interrupts. “So, like I said, I really do know what’s wrong, but I’m not that interested in hearing another complaint. So this time, instead of asking, I decide I’m going to —” He stops and peers at the clock on the bookshelf behind me. “John,” I try again. “I wonder if we can go back to what just happened—” “Oh, good,” he says, cutting me off. “I still have twenty minutes left.” And then he’s back to his story. 51. Why does the narrator repeat “have compassion” and write them in italics (斜体)? A. To show that she feels sorry for John’s behavior. B. To highlight her attempt to remain calm and composed. C. To emphasize the most important advice the narrator gives to John. D. To indicate that she is a naturally compassionate person. 52. What is the relationship between the narrator and John? A. Close friend who talk about personal problems B. Therapist and patient C. Rival colleagues working in the same company D. Family members 53. Which of the following sentences best fits the blank in the sentence “I’m smiling, Sherlock, because ?” A. I know exactly what’s bothering my wife! B. I am thinking about something funny! C. Our dialogue turns out to be rewarding finally! D. I am glad I don’t have to listen to her complaints! 54. According to the writing, what kind of person is John? A. A man who is deeply troubled by his own inadequacies and seeks change B. A man who constantly blames others for his problems and refuses to take responsibility C. A time-conscious man who values time management D. A self-centered man who lacks self-awareness 【答案】51. B 52. B 53. D 54. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述叙述者与约翰交流时，约翰一味抱怨他人却不听他人说话，叙述者努力保持耐心沟通的经历。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Have compassion.(要有同情心。)”以及第二段中的“Deep breath.(深呼吸。)”、第三段的“Have compassion, have compassion, have compassion...(要有同情心，要有同情心，要有同情心……)”和第四段中的“I’m repeating this phrase in my head like a mantra as the forty-year-old man sitting across from me is telling me about all of the people in his life who are “idiots.” (当坐在我对面的四十岁男人告诉我他生活中所有“白痴”时，我像念咒语一样在脑海里重复着这句话。)”可知，面对约翰对他人的不断抱怨，叙述者反复默念“要有同情心”，是为了让自己保持冷静沉着，不被对方的负面情绪影响。故选B项。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中的““John,” I begin, but he’s starting to tell a rambling story about his wife. I can’t get a word in edgewise, even though he has come to me for help.(“约翰，”我刚开口，他却开始漫无边际地讲起他妻子的事。我根本插不上话，尽管他是来向我求助的。)”以及全文中叙述者试图引导约翰沟通、关注他的情绪反应等细节，可推测二者是治疗师与患者的关系。故选B项。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第七段中的“But I know if I ask, she’ll say, ‘Nothing,’ the first three times, and then maybe the fourth or fifth time she’ll say, ‘You know what’s wrong,’ and I’ll say, ‘No, I don’t, or I wouldn’t be asking!’”(但我知道如果我问，前三次她会说“没什么”，然后可能第四次或第五次她会说“你知道怎么了”，而我会说“不，我不知道，不然我就不会问了！”)”以及倒数第四段中的“So, like I said, I really do know what’s wrong, but I’m not that interested in hearing another complaint. So this time, instead of asking, I decide I’m going to — (所以，就像我刚才说的，我其实很清楚问题出在哪儿，但我实在没兴趣再听一次抱怨了。所以这次，我决定不再追问，而是要 ——)”可知，约翰微笑是因为他不想听妻子的抱怨，找到了避免的办法。D选项“我很高兴不用听她抱怨了！”符合语境。故选D项。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的““That’s why I try to eat organic,” he says. “So I don’t become an idiot like everyone else.” I’m losing track of which idiot he’s talking about: the coworker who only asks questions (“He never makes statements, because that would imply that he had something to say”), the driver in front of him who stopped at a yellow light (“No sense of urgency!”), the Apple technician at the Genius Bar who couldn’t fix his laptop (“Some genius!”).(“这就是我尽量吃有机食品的原因，”他说。“这样我就不会像其他人一样变成白痴。”我已经搞不清他在说哪个白痴了：那个只问问题的同事(“他从不发表声明，因为那意味着他有话要说”)，那个在黄灯前停车的司机(“毫无紧迫感！”)，那个在天才吧没能修好他笔记本电脑的苹果技术员(“真是个天才！”)。)”以及全文中约翰一味抱怨身边人、不允许他人插话、不反思自身的表现，表明他是一个以自我为中心、缺乏自我意识的人。故选D项。 (B) Overload stages the American writer David Foster Wallace in the act of delivering a speech, which soon takes on the structure of a hypertext. Between mass distractions and digital mutations, we are immersed in a media augmented environment. Over-stimulated by information, we live in a state of constant alert. Shouldn’t we be more silent and mindful? 19-20 October 2022 Teatro Grassi Sotterraneo, the theatrical research group founded in Florence in 2005 and composed of a fixed nucleus of authors accompanied by a range of collaborators according to the various projects, returns to the Piccolo with three shows. Each work produced by the group is like a probe launched to examine the linguistic possibilities of theatre, seen both as a physical and an intellectual place, one that is both ancient and inevitably contemporary. With cross-sector and multi-layered works, Sotterraneo spans formats, focusing on the contradictions and shadows of the present though an Avant-pop approach that seeks to express our era while walking a line between the collective imagination and the most anti-conventional of ideas. In Overload — winner of the 2018 UBU award for best show — the protagonist is David Foster Wallace. The writer presents a story that turns into hypertext, complete with sudden links that set in motion possible actions and visions, extra content that the audience alone decides to activate or not. It is a reflection on our condition as subjects overstimulated and constantly bombarded by information. Duration: 65’without interval 55. What can be learned about Sotterraneo? A. It is a long-established Florentine theater to explore the linguistic possibilities of play through an Avant-pop approach. B. It is comprised of long-term members and a cluster of collaborators whose numbers vary according to the project at hand. C. It focuses on historical themes through conventional theatrical formats D. It won the 2018 UBU award for best show with its first theatrical work. 56. A family of four (a 17-year-old child, parents, 70-year-old grandmother) wants to buy Stalls tickets.

A. the life of the American writer David Foster Wallace and his rise to fame B. madness pervading the world of communication and the illusion of knowledge C. the development of hypertext technology in this age of a myriad digital devices D. a reflection on the power of story telling amongst human beings 【答案】55. B 56. A 57. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了剧团Sotterraneo的剧目《过载》的演出信息、剧团理念及作品核心主题。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Sotterraneo, the theatrical research group founded in Florence in 2005 and composed of a fixed nucleus of authors accompanied by a range of collaborators according to the various projects, returns to the Piccolo with three shows.(Sotterraneo于2005年在佛罗伦萨成立，核心创作团队固定，会根据不同项目吸纳各类合作者。此次该剧团携三部作品回归Piccolo)”可知，Sotterraneo由核心固定成员和根据不同项目变动的各类合作者组成。故选B。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后表格中的内容“Stalls full price €33 | Discounted (under 26 and over 65) €21(正厅全价票33欧元 | 折扣票（26岁以下及超过65岁）21 欧元)”可知，17岁孩子和70岁祖母，可购买折扣票21*2=42€；而父母属于成年人，购买全价票，也就是33*2=66€。四人共42+66=108€。故选A。 【57题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Between mass distractions and digital mutations, we are immersed in a media augmented environment.

First they came for the eggs. Then the feta cheese, caviar, and cucumbers. In some countries, these ingredients even sold out: Iceland experienced a shortage of cucumbers, and feta briefly vanished from grocery-store shelves. The reason for the shortages? Food enthusiasts were eager to recreate viral videos in which these ingredients starred. People who learned to cook in kitchens or through books may scoff at the spread of online-cooking videos. But chefs have long embraced technology to instruct, share their culinary visions and build their careers. In the 1960s-70s Julia Child used television and helped popularize cookbooks, demystifying French food for those cooking at home. Successful online food celebrities “recognize and make a real effort to meet the specific needs of their viewers,” explains Madeline Buxton, culture and trends manager at YouTube. Some viewers want to be entertained; others want to learn, travel or eat vicariously through people more adventurous than they are. Unlike cooking shows on TV, barriers to entry for online-cooking videos are low. Creators who think they have a winning idea do not need to persuade agents, editors and network executives; they can shoot a video themselves on their phone and see if people like it. Established media companies have got in on the act, but the Internet is mostly full of shorter content. Whereas adventurous TikTokers have tried their hand at complex recipes, approachable food tends to perform best: one reason recipes for baked-feta pasta and cucumber salad went viral is that it is easy to melt cheese and slice cucumbers. It also helps to be visually attractive: viral videos tend to show off the texture and crunch of food. Sometimes creators are surprised by which of their videos take off. Mr. DiGiovanni recalls his first popular video, which showed him making a chocolate bar from whole cacao pods; it was “poorly shot: the lighting was messed up; it was overexposed”. But it has attracted almost 14m views. Much as other food creators do, he shows viewers things they would not otherwise see, and he has a good time doing it. This points to an important aspect of online food culture: fun. Julia Child certainly mastered the art of French cooking, and people who followed her recipes may have enjoyed themselves, but she most believed in the haute (高端的) part of haute cuisine. Reverence (崇敬) does poorly in the democratized world of online content, where training, background and even experience matter less than likeability, production value and whether a video makes you want to pick up a pan and start cooking. Now can you please pass the feta? 58. The author cites Julia Child as an example to suggest that ________. A. the current trend of online cooking videos is not an entirely new phenomenon B. the shortages of certain ingredients were a direct result of popular TV shows C. cooking shows on TV have higher barriers for content creators D. television was as important as social media in the spread of culinary culture 59. Which of the following statements might the author most probably agree with? A. A detailed instruction on how to make high-end French cuisine is likely to go viral. B. Ingredients like cucumbers sold out because of the popularization of French food. C. Even respected chefs cannot guarantee that their videos will take off. D. The shorter a food video is, the more likely it is to gain in popularity. 60. What can be inferred from the last sentence of the passage? A. The author highlights how modern cooking has been changed by the Internet. B. The author is drawn to the new culture of cooking on social media. C. The author is convinced that feta, as shown in the videos, can enhance the taste of food. D. The author's own culinary experiences haven't been influenced by online cooking videos. 61. Which of the following serves as the best title for the passage? A. From TV to TikTok: The Rise of Influencers B. A Taste of Trends: Culinary Journey Reshaped Online C. A Recipe for Success: How to Create Viral Cooking Videos D. Pass Me the Feta: Growing Appetite for Food Ingredients 【答案】58. A 59. C 60. B 61. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述社交媒体和互联网改变饮食烹饪方式，网络烹饪视频兴起，分析其特点、与传统差异及对烹饪文化的影响。 【58题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“People who learned to cook in kitchens or through books may scoff at the spread of online - cooking videos. But chefs have long embraced technology to instruct, share their culinary visions and build their careers. In the 1960s - 70s Julia Child used television and helped popularize cookbooks, demystifying French food for those cooking at home.(那些在厨房或通过书本学习烹饪的人可能会嘲笑在线烹饪视频的传播。但厨师们长期以来一直接受利用技术来指导、分享他们的烹饪理念并成就他们的事业。在 20 世纪 60-70 年代，朱莉娅・查尔德利用电视并帮助推广烹饪书籍，为在家烹饪的人揭开法国美食的神秘面纱。)”可知，作者以朱莉娅・查尔德为例，是为了表明厨师们很早就利用技术来传播烹饪理念，现在在线烹饪视频的流行并非全新现象，故选A项。 【59题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Sometimes creators are surprised by which of their videos take off. Mr. DiGiovanni recalls his first popular video, which showed him making a chocolate bar from whole cacao pods; it was ‘poorly shot: the lighting was messed up; it was overexposed’. But it has attracted almost 14m views.(有时创作者会对自己哪些视频会走红感到惊讶。迪乔瓦尼先生回忆起他第一个受欢迎的视频，视频中他用整个可可豆荚制作巧克力棒；这个视频‘拍摄得很差：灯光混乱；曝光过度’。但它已经吸引了近 1400 万浏览量。)” 可知，即使是创作者自己都难以预料哪个视频会走红，所以即使是受尊敬的厨师也不能保证他们的视频一定会成功。故选C项。 【60题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一句“Now can you please pass the feta?(现在你能递给我羊乳酪吗？)”并结合前文提到因网络烹饪视频导致某些食材短缺，以及对网络烹饪文化的介绍，可推断作者被社交媒体上的新烹饪文化所吸引，仿佛也沉浸在这种文化氛围中，想要像视频中那样烹饪使用羊乳酪。故选B项。 【61题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Social media and the Internet are changing the way we eat and cook. (社交媒体和互联网正在改变我们的饮食和烹饪方式)”可知，文章主要讲述了社交媒体和互联网改变了人们烹饪和饮食的方式，介绍了网络烹饪视频的兴起、特点以及其对烹饪文化的影响，所以B选项A Taste of Trends: Culinary Journey Reshaped Online(品味潮流：在线重塑的烹饪之旅) 准确概括了文章主旨。故选B项。 Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. Inconvenient Truths If doctors lie, it is surely inexcusable. But what would you think if I told you that research has shown that 70 per cent of doctors admitted lying to their patients? If I am honest, I have told lies to my patients. Mrs Walton was in her eighties and desperate to see her husband. She would try to get up to find him, despite being at risk of falling. “He’s on his way, don’ t worry,” the nurses would say this to calm her down. I said the same thing to her. But it was a lie. He died two years ago. ____62____ Mrs Walton is one of the dementia (痴呆) sufferers, who lose their short-term memory and the memory of recent events, but hold memories from the distant past. ____63____ Those with dementia often feel upset, scared and confused that they are in a strange place, surrounded by strange people, even when they are in their own homes with their family. They look at their adult children puzzled and wonder who they could be because they think their children are still little kids. I have had countless families break down in tears. ____64____ And how, as the doctor or nurse caring for these patients, does one manage the anger and outbursts of distress that come with having no knowledge of your life for the past ten or 20 years? Plotting with them about this false reality is not heartless or unprofessional. ____65____ But what kind-hearted person would put another human being through the unimaginable pain of learning, for the first time again and again that they have lost their beloved ones. It would be an unthinkable cruelness. A. They don’t know how to react as their loved one moves further away from them back into their distant past and they are left behind in the present. B. The truth, if I can use that word, is that it is a kindness to lie sometimes. C. The lies that doctors, nurses and families tell these patients are not big, elaborate lies — they are brief comforts intended to calm the subject. D. Huge strides have been made in understanding how different diseases cause damage in the brain and so produce dementia. E. Sufferers are trapped forever in a confusing past that many realize bears little connection to the present, but are at a loss to explain. F. That’s not to say that lying to patients with dementia unnecessarily is right or defensible. 【答案】62. B 63. E 64. A 65.

He died two years ago.(我也对她说了同样的话。但那是个谎言。他两年前就去世了。)”可知，前文讲述了对沃尔顿夫人说谎的事实，此处需要承接该谎言并表明态度，B选项“The truth, if I can use that word, is that it is a kindness to lie sometimes(真相，如果我可以用这个词的话，就是有时候说谎是一种善意)”既回应了前文的谎言，又点明了这种谎言的性质，符合语境。故选B项。 【63题详解】 根据前文“Mrs Walton is one of the dementia sufferers, who lose their short-term memory and the memory of recent events, but hold memories from the distant past.(沃尔顿夫人是痴呆症患者之一，他们失去了短期记忆和近期事件的记忆，但保留着遥远过去的记忆。)”可知，前文介绍了痴呆症患者的记忆特点，E选项“Sufferers are trapped forever in a confusing past that many realize bears little connection to the present, but are at a loss to explain(患者永远被困在一个令人困惑的过去，许多人意识到这与现在几乎没有联系，却无法解释)”进一步阐述了患者的状态，与前文的记忆特点相呼应，符合语境。故选E项。 【64题详解】 根据前文“I have had countless families break down in tears.(我见过无数家庭泪流满面。)”以及后文“And how, as the doctor or nurse caring for these patients, does one manage the anger and outbursts of distress that comes with having no knowledge of your life for the past ten or 20 years?(而作为照顾这些患者的医生或护士，如何应对因对过去十年或二十年的生活一无所知而产生的愤怒和痛苦爆发呢？)”可知，此处应讲述家属的困境，A选项“They don’t know how to react as their loved one moves further away from them back into their distant past and they are left behind in the present(当他们所爱的人离他们越来越远，回到遥远的过去，而他们却被留在现在时，他们不知道该如何反应)”既承接了前文家属的悲伤，又与后文的应对困境相衔接，符合语境。故选A项。 【65题详解】 根据前文“Plotting with them about this false reality is not heartless or unprofessional.(与他们一起构建这个虚假的现实并非无情或不专业。)”可知，前文肯定了这种谎言的合理性，C选项“The lies that doctors, nurses and families tell these patients are not big, elaborate lies — they are brief comforts intended to calm the subject(医生、护士和家属对这些患者说的谎并不是重大、复杂的谎言——它们是旨在安抚患者的短暂安慰)”具体解释了这种谎言的特点，进一步支撑前文观点，符合语境。故选C项。 第二卷 Section A (10’) Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.

Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. How to influence clients to choose greener designs Although there are plenty of architectural firms with experience in green design, this is not enough to make green construction come into being. The driving force behind whether a building is constructed with minimal environmental impact lies with the owner of the building; that is, the person financing the project. If the owner considers green design unimportant, or of secondary importance, then more than likely, it will not be factored into the design. The commissioning (委任) process plays a key role in ensuring the owner gets the building he wants, in terms of design, costs and risk. Owners who skip the commissioning process, or fail to take “green” issues into account when doing so, often come a cropper once their building is up and running. Materials and equipment are installed as planned, and, at first glance, appear to fulfil their purpose adequately. However, in time, the owner realizes that operational and maintenance costs are higher than necessary. These factors in turn lead to higher ownership costs as well as increased environmental impact. In some cases, an owner may be aware of the latest trends in sustainable building design. However, firms should not take it as read that the client already has an idea of how green he intends the structure to be. Indeed, this initial interaction between owner and firm is the ideal time for a designer to outline and promote the ways that green design can meet the client’s objectives. Typically, when considering whether or not to adopt a green approach, an owner will ask about additional costs or return for investment. In a typical project, landscape architects, mechanical and electrical engineers do not become involved until a much later stage. However, in green design, they must be involved from the outset, since green design demands interaction between these disciplines. This increased cooperation clearly requires additional cost. However, there may be financial advantage for the client in choosing a greener design. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Building owners’ commitment is crucial for green construction as they fund projects. The commissioning process is key to meeting design goals, while neglecting it results in higher long-term costs and greater environmental harm. Therefore, architects should proactively promote green benefits during initial client discussions. Although the upfront investment is high, this integrated approach can ultimately yield financial returns. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了业主在推动绿色建筑中的决定性作用，分析了委任过程对实现设计目标、控制长期成本的重要性，并提出了建筑师应尽早向客户说明绿色效益的建议，同时指出前期更高投入可能带来经济回报。 【详解】1.要点摘录 ①The driving force behind whether a building is constructed with minimal environmental impact lies with the owner of the building; that is, the person financing the project. Owners who skip the commissioning process, or fail to take “green” issues into account when doing so, often come a cropper once their building is up and running. ②However, in time, the owner realizes that operational and maintenance costs are higher than necessary. These factors in turn lead to higher ownership costs as well as increased environmental impact. ③Indeed, this initial interaction between owner and firm is the ideal time for a designer to outline and promote the ways that green design can meet the client’s objectives. However, in green design, they must be involved from the outset, since green design demands interaction between these disciplines.This increased cooperation clearly requires additional cost. However, there may be financial advantage for the client in choosing a greener design. 2.缜密构思 将第1组两个要点进行重组，说明业主的决定性作用和忽略委任过程的后果；将第2组两个要点进行整合，分析长期成本与环境影响的关系；将第3组三个要点结合，阐述早期推广的必要性和跨专业协作的要求以及客户选择更环保的设计或许能获得经济优势。 3.遣词造句 Building owners play a decisive role in green construction as they control funding. Skipping the commissioning process leads to higher long-term costs and environmental impact. Architects should use initial meetings to promote green benefits that meet client needs. 【点睛】[高分句型1] Building owners’ commitment is crucial for green construction as they fund projects. 运用一个主从复合句精准概括了原文第一、二段的核心论点。其中as引导原因状语从句清晰地揭示了因果关系。 [高分句型2] Although the upfront investment is high, this integrated approach can ultimately yield financial returns. 运用一个主从复合句对原文第四段核心内容进行精准概括和整合回应。其中Although引导让步状语从句，为提出后文观点起到了铺垫作用。 Section C: Translation (3’+3’+4+5’=15) 87. 谢谢你在这么短的时间内还同意见我。(notice) (汉译英) _________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Thank you for agreeing to meet me on such short notice. 【解析】 【详解】考查动名词。表示“因某事感谢某人”短语为thank sb. for doing sth.；表示“同意见我”为动名词短语agreeing to meet me；表示“在这么短的时间内”为on such short notice。故翻译为Thank you for agreeing to meet me on such short notice. 88. 现代农业既依赖技术创新，也同样依赖有利的天气。（as...as）（汉译英） _________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Modern agriculture depends as much on technological innovation as on favorable weather 【解析】 【详解】考查“as...as”结构和时态。“现代农业”表达为modern agriculture，作主语，位于句首单词首字母需大写；“依赖”是depend on ；“既……也同样……”通过“as much...as”来体现，连接两个并列的依赖对象，“技术创新”是technological innovation，“有利的天气”是favorable weather ；句子描述一般事实，用一般现在时，主语是第三人称单数，depend用第三人称单数形式depends 。故翻译为Modern agriculture depends as much on technological innovation as on favorable weather. 89. 零工经济（the gig economy）指临时或合同工作，并以灵活性为特点，带来喜忧参半的结果。（feature）（汉译英） _________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The gig economy refers to temporary or contract work, featuring flexibility and yielding mixed outcomes. 【解析】 【详解】考查时态，动词短语和非谓语动词。根据汉语句子分析可知，句子讲述客观事实，用一般现在时。“零工经济”为主语，用名词短语“the gig economy”表达，“指”用动词短语“refer to”表达，动词作谓语动词，主语为第三人称单数，动词用单数形式“refers”；“临时或合同工作”作介词to的宾语，用名词短语“temporary or contract work”。“并以灵活性为特点”可用动词短语“feature flexibility”表达，“带来喜忧参半的结果”用动词短语“yield mixed outcomes”表达，两个短语用“and”并列，作伴随状语，动词“feature”，“yield”与逻辑主语“The gig economy”之间为主动关系，用现在分词形式，即“featuring flexibility and yielding mixed outcomes”。故翻译为：The gig economy refers to temporary or contract work, featuring flexibility and yielding mixed outcomes. 90. 今年的赛事配备了全面升级的数字注册系统和扩大的报名选项，有望为全球跑步者带来更顺畅、更包容的参赛体验。(With) (汉译英) _________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 With a fully upgraded digital registration system and expanded entry options equipped for this year’s event, it is expected to provide a smoother and more inclusive experience for runners worldwide. 【解析】 【详解】考查with的复合宾语结构、名词、形容词及动词短语。句子陈述客观事实，应用一般现在时；“今年的赛事”用“this year’s event”；“为……配备……”用动词“equip…for…”；“全面升级的数字注册系统”用“fully upgraded digital registration system”，其中fully为副词作状语，修饰形容词upgraded，而形容词upgraded和digital作定语修饰名词短语registration system；“和”用连词and，连接两个并列的宾语；“扩大的报名选项”用“expanded entry options”，其中形容词expanded作定语修饰名词短语entry options；根据题干要求，“今年的赛事配备了全面升级的数字注册系统和扩大的报名选项”用with的复合宾语结构“With a fully upgraded digital registration system and expanded entry options equipped for this year’s event”，其中equipped为宾语a fully upgraded digital registration system and expanded entry options的宾语补足语，与宾语之间构成被动关系，故用过去分词形式，且with位于句首，首字母需大写；“有望”用固定短语“be expected to”；“为……带来……”用固定短语“provide sth. for sb.”；“全球跑步者”用“runners worldwide”；“更顺畅、更包容的参赛体验”用“a smoother and more inclusive experience”，其中smoother和more inclusive为形容词的比较级作并列定语修饰可数名词experience，用连词and来连接，名词前需要冠词a，表泛指；“有望为全球跑步者带来更顺畅、更包容的参赛体验”翻译为“it is expected to provide a smoother and more inclusive experience for runners worldwide”。故翻译为With a fully upgraded digital registration system and expanded entry options equipped for this year’s event, it is expected to provide a smoother and more inclusive experience for runners worldwide. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
