A Journey Back to Each Other
Inspired by my daughter’s tales of backpacking adventures and my desire to hang out with my youngest son outside the house, I booked two tickets to Shanghai for the September school holidays, surprising us both.

There is something very freeing about arriving in a place where you have no plans. And we ____3____ (not do).
I discovered that he could find his way ____4____ remembering landmarks. Within a day he’d become the navigator, and I was the lost one, following behind. As tourists, we ____5____ (expose) to everything together, giving us back a connection we don’t always have in our daily lives. He is naturally curious, which____6____ (make) for a good traveller, and instead of hesitating over the things he suggested, I just went with it.

He dragged me shopping for jeans in stores and made me catch buses ____8____ (take) us in the wrong direction entirely. He was just as likely as I was____9____ (know) what train to catch, or find the right street to turn down, or stand in awe at the foot of a giant temple, or queue for hours for a steaming bowl of Xiaolongbao.
I saw him differently in Shanghai. Travelling meant we were more like equals — partners in adventure. And instead of missing the child version of ____10____ , I saw the adult he was becoming.

Apps That Bring Art to Life
At the Betty Cuningham gallery on the Lower East Side recently, I noticed an arresting painting: a woman asleep by a window with the Empire State Building in view, and a floating fish above her. Fascinated, I opened a smartphone app called Magnus, and within seconds, it ____11____ the piece as Philip Pearlstein’s Model With Empire State Building (1992), priced at $300,000.

Magnus is part of a wave of smartphone apps trying to recognize the physical world as a way of providing instant information about songs or clothes or plants or paintings.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一系列能够识别艺术品并提供相关信息的手机应用程序,如Magnus、Smartify和Google Lens,阐述了它们的功能、优势以及面临的挑战,并探讨了这些应用如何改变人们与艺术的互动方式。
【11题详解】
考查动词。句意:我很着迷,于是打开了一款名为Magnus的智能手机应用,几秒钟之内,它就识别出这幅作品是菲利普·帕尔斯坦的《模特与帝国大厦》(1992),标价30万美元。根据“I opened a smartphone app called Magnus”和“the piece as Philip Pearlstein’s Model With Empire State Building (1992)”可知,是应用识别出了这幅作品的具体信息。G项“identified”意为“识别、确认”,作谓语,符合语境。故选G项。
【12题详解】
考查名词。句意:该应用还提供了它的销售历史,并保存了详细信息以备将来参考。根据“saved the details for future”和常识可推知,保存详细信息是为了以后需要时查看或使用。J项“reference”意为“参考”,作宾语,符合语境。故选J项。
【13题详解】
考查动词。句意:虽然Shazam以超过10亿的下载量占据主导地位,但像Magnus和Smartify这样的应用通过揭开艺术世界的神秘面纱来吸引艺术爱好者。根据“with over a billion downloads”可知,Shazam在音乐识别领域拥有巨大的市场份额和影响力。D项“dominated”意为“主导、支配”,作谓语,可以形象地表示其在市场上的领先地位。故选D项。
【14题详解】
考查形容词。句意:Magnus已经建立了一个包含1000多万张艺术图片的数据库,旨在帮助潜在的艺术买家在信息有限的情况下浏览艺术画廊和展览。根据“art buyers navigate art galleries and fairs with little information”可推知,这些浏览艺术画廊和展览的用户信息有限,是有购买意愿但可能还不是专家的买家,即潜在的的买家。I项“prospective”意为“潜在的、未来的”,作定语,符合语境。故选I项。
【15题详解】
考查动词。句意:另一方面,Smartify以博物馆参观者为目标,与机构合作提供教育内容和无障碍功能,比如为有视力障碍的用户提供音频导览。根据“museumgoers”和“to provide educational content and accessibility features like audio guides for users with visual problems.”可知,Smartify将其服务对象瞄准了博物馆参观者,为他们提供音频导览等服务。K项“targets”意为“以……为目标”,作谓语,符合语境。故选K项。
【16题详解】
考查动词。句意:同样,Google Lens正在向艺术领域扩展,与旧金山笛洋美术馆等博物馆和Wescover等平台合作,识别公共和当地艺术品。根据后文“partnering with museums”可知,Google Lens正在将其功能范围扩大到艺术领域。F项“expanding”意为“扩展、扩大”,作谓语,符合语境。故选F项。
【17题详解】
考查动词。句意:与音乐不同,对单个艺术品进行编目因其庞大的数量、版权问题以及图像识别技术的局限性(尤其是对于3D物体)而变得复杂。根据句意和“individual artworks is complicated by...”可推知,此处谈论的是对艺术品进行系统化整理或记录所面临的困难。C项“cataloging”意为“将……编入目录、分类登记”,是处理艺术品信息的基础步骤,且与“database(数据库)”等前文信息呼应。故选C项。
【18题详解】
考查名词。句意:尽管存在这些障碍,但像Magnus这样的应用还是给这个通常很隐秘的市场带来了清晰度,帮助用户浏览画廊甚至议价。根据“Despite these”可知,此处指代前文提到的数量庞大、版权问题、技术限制等挑战。H项“obstacles”意为“障碍、阻碍”,作宾语,符合语境。故选H项。
【19题详解】
考查名词。句意:在博物馆和画廊试用了几周艺术应用后,我发现它们并没有提高我的视觉体验质量。根据“After a few weeks of trying out”可知,作者是在试用后做出评价,是描述应用对个人欣赏艺术品过程的影响。E项“encounters”意为“相遇、接触、体验”,此处指与艺术品互动、观赏的体验,作宾语。故选E项。
【20题详解】
考查形容词。句意:有那么一点让人上瘾的、满足的识别点击声。根据“satisfying click of recognition. It was hard to stop.”可知,这种识别成功带来的轻微满足感让人忍不住想继续使用。A项“addictive”意为“使人上瘾的”,能解释为何“很难停下来”,作定语。故选A项。
II. Reading Comprehension
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.
Is cooking a science? For years, many — including myself — would have said no. A kitchen is where we seek warmth and comfort, not a clinical lab. However, the idea of ____21____ science with home cooking has been gaining popularity. Books like The Food Lab: Better Home Cooking Through Science by J. Kenji López-Alt, which has overtaken classics like The Joy of Cooking in online reviews, ____22____ this shift. Science, it seems, offers home cooks the tools to make everyday dishes more delicious and ____23____ — think meatloaf that doesn’t fall apart.
This enthusiasm for science in the kitchen has been ____24____ by trends like sourdough baking and fermentation (发酵), where precision matters. Weekend bakers now experiment with water content in dough, while many home cooks ____25____ tools like digital scales and instant-read thermometers to achieve consistent results.
Like many people, I grew up convinced that science was the ____26____ of good cooking. For my mother, it meant cheap, industrial food — far from her fresh vegetable soups and slow-cooked beef. Yet, ____27____, she was practicing kitchen science. By cooking meat until it turned brown for a rich flavor and letting it cook long and slow enough to make it soft and juicy, she used simple cooking techniques to create delicious dishes.
López-Alt ____28____ this everyday science, focusing not on trendy cooking tricks but on practical insights for better results. ____29____ to chop onions without tears, he advises cutting from root to tip, releasing fewer tear-watering chemicals. These small ____30____, grounded in observation and experimentation, make cooking more effective and enjoyable.
Even long-held cooking wisdom can be ____31____. Harold McGee, author of On Food and Cooking, disproved the myth that asparagus (芦笋) naturally breaks where it becomes soft. ____32____, he found better results by simply cutting the stalks (茎) 6-7 inches from the tip. López-Alt even ____33____ traditional pasta-cooking methods, showing that less water and a shorter boil can still yield perfectly cooked noodles.
I feel lucky to be cooking at a time when people like Mr. López-Alt are conducting such fun kitchen experiments. Yet it’s also true that ____34____ can never tell the whole story of cooking. A great meal is not just a combination of chemicals and physical processes. It is also a reflection of culture and family and the craft of the people who ____35____ before us.

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)
Becoming a Birder
Last September, I drove to a protected wetland near my home in Oakland, and walked to the end of a pier and started looking at birds. Since then, my birding obsession has progressed at an alarming pace. I’ve seen 452 species, including 307 this year alone.
Birding has proved more absorbing and peace-bringing than mindful reflection. While birding, I seem impervious to heat, cold, hunger and thirst. My senses focus firmly on the present, and the usual buzz in my head becomes quiet. When I spot a species for the first time, I course with thrill while being entirely at peace.
I also feel a much deeper connection to the natural world. The passing of the seasons feels more detailed, marked by the arrival and disappearance of particular species instead of much slower changes in day length, temperature and greenery. I find myself noticing small shifts in the weather and small differences in habitat. I think about the tides.
So much more of the natural world feels close and accessible now. When I started birding, I remember thinking that I’d never see most of the species in my field guide. I had internalized the idea of nature as distant and remote — the province of nature documentaries and far-flung vacations. But in the past six months, I’ve seen soaring golden eagles and marveled at diving Pacific loons, all within an hour of my house.
It’s easy to think of birding as an escape from reality. Instead, I see it as immersion in the true reality. I don’t need to know who the main characters are on social media and what everyone is saying about them, when I can instead spend an hour trying to find a rare sparrow. It’s very clear to me which of those two activities is the more ridiculous. It’s not the one with the sparrow.
36. Why does the author describe his birding habit as”an obsession”?
A. To show his intense passion for birding.
B. To illustrate its peace-bringing mindful effect.
C. To highlight his rapid species-spotting progress.
D. To stress it’s more meaningful than social media.
37. The underlined phrase “seem impervious to” is closest in meaning to
A. seem sensitive to B. seem unaffected by
C. appear troubled by D. appear subject to
38. Which of the following descriptions is closest to a birder’s state of mind according to the passage?
A. Watching nature documentaries to feel close to wild birds.
B. Long-distance jogging in the woods to train for a marathon.
C. Fishing by a local pond engaged in the process of observation.
D. Travelling miles with the goal of checking a rare species off a list.
39. What life lesson does the author draw about birding?
A. Quality time spent in nature’s wonders leads to a joyful life.
B. Bird watching itself is more meaningful than one’s busy daily routines.
C. Focus on the immediate natural surroundings breeds true meaning in life.
D. One should live in the present rather than escape from reality to pursue joy.
【答案】36. A 37. B 38. C 39. C
【解析】
【导语】这篇文章是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者通过观鸟的经历,专注当下、感受自然、获得内心平静,并从中领悟到生活的真谛。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“Since then, my birding obsession has progressed at an alarming pace. I’ve seen 452 species, including 307 this year alone.(从那以后,我对观鸟的痴迷以惊人的速度发展。我已经见过 452 种鸟类,仅今年就有 307 种。)”和第二段的“While birding, I seem impervious to heat, cold, hunger and thirst. My senses focus firmly on the present, and the usual buzz in my head becomes quiet. When I spot a species for the first time, I course with thrill while being entirely at peace.(观鸟时,我似乎对冷热饥渴都无动于衷。我的感官全然专注于当下,脑海中平日的喧嚣变得安静。当我第一次见到某个物种时,内心激动不已却又十分平静。)”可知,作者用obsession(痴迷)一词,展现自己对观鸟的极度热爱。投入大量时间见多种鸟类、观鸟时忽略生理需求、高度专注且因新发现极度兴奋均围绕 “强烈热爱” 展开。故选A项。
【37题详解】
词句猜测题。根据本句“While birding, I seem impervious to heat, cold, hunger and thirst.(观鸟时,我对冷、热、饥、渴都seem impervious to。)”以及下一句“My senses focus firmly on the present, and the usual buzz in my head becomes quiet. (我的感官牢牢聚焦于当下,脑海中的日常纷扰也随之安静下来。)”可知,观鸟时作者精神高度集中于当下,脑海中的冷热饥渴等杂念应是全都感觉不到了,“seem impervious to”在此处应为“不受……影响”之意。故选B项。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第二句、第三句“While birding, I seem impervious to heat, cold, hunger and thirst. My senses focus firmly on the present, and the usual buzz in my head becomes quiet. (观鸟时,我似乎对冷热浑然不觉。我的感官牢牢聚焦于当下,脑海中的日常纷扰也随之安静下来。)以及第四段最后一句“But in the past six months, I’ve seen soaring golden eagles and marveled at diving Pacific loons, all within an hour of my house. (但在过去的六个月里,我亲眼目睹了翱翔的金雕,也为俯冲入水的太平洋潜鸟惊叹不已,这一切都发生在我家一小时车程的范围内。)”对自然细节的关注可知,观鸟者的状态是沉浸于观察过程中。C选项“在家附近的池塘边钓鱼,专注于观察过程”最符合文中描述的专注、沉浸、观察自然的状态。故选C项。
【39题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段前三句“It’s easy to think of birding as an escape from reality. Instead, I see it as immersion in the true reality. I don’t need to know who the main characters are on social media and what everyone is saying about them, when I can instead spend an hour trying to find a rare sparrow. (人们很容易将观鸟视为对现实的逃避。相反,我认为这是沉浸在真实的现实中。当我可以花上一小时寻找一只稀有麻雀时,便不再需要知道社交媒体上的主角是谁、众人对他们有何议论。)”以及全文多次强调的专注当下、感受自然细节可知,作者从观鸟中领悟到的是:专注于身边的自然环境,并沉浸其中比把时间花在社交媒体上更有意义。C选项“关注身边触手可及的自然环境,方能孕育出生命中真正的意义。”准确概括了这一主旨。故选C项。
(B)
Four to Follow: Athletes to Watch out for
From a US swimming star to French cycling’s “champion of champions”, these four will be on the hunt for medals. May, 2024
1. USA, swimming

【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据介绍Jessica Long的句子“This will be Long’s sixth Games, in which time she has won an astonishing 29 medals, making her one of the US’s most decorated Paralympic athletes of all time. The 32-year-old made her first appearance in the Games in 2004 at the age of 12 and has since become a high-profile advocate for the Paralympic movement, including appearing in a Super Bowl commercial in 2021 and writing a children’s book.(这将是Long第六次参加残奥会,她已斩获惊人的29枚奖牌,是美国历史上获得奖牌最多的残奥运动员之一。这位32岁的运动员于2004年首次亮相残奥会,当时年仅12岁。此后,她成为残奥运动的积极倡导者,包括在2021年出演超级碗广告以及撰写儿童读物。)”、介绍Shae Graham的句子“Melbourne librarian Shae Graham is an integral part of the international powerhouse that is Australia’s wheelchair rugby team.

【41题详解】
推理判断题。根据介绍Markus Rehm的句子“Rehm has been unrivaled in the men’s long jump class since first winning the world title in 2011 and is a four-time Paralympic Games gold medallist. Last year, he jumped 8. 72 metres to secure his 14th world record.(自2011年首次获得世界冠军以来,Rehm在男子跳远项目中一直无人能敌,是四届残奥会金牌得主。去年,他跳出8.72米,创下个人第14项世界纪录。)”可知,Rehm长期保持垄断地位,多次打破世界纪录,说明他树立了其他人难以企及的标准。故选C项。
【42题详解】
主旨大意题。文章介绍了四位运动员:Jessica Long (奖牌传奇与倡导者)、Shae Graham (女性轮椅橄榄球先驱)、Heidi Gaugain (跨项目残疾冠军)、Markus Rehm (跳远世界纪录保持者),他们背景各异 (年龄、项目、成就),但均展现了顽强意志和卓越成就。文章通过多元案例传递了残奥会运动“致敬多样且鼓舞人心的运动员”的核心印象。故选D项。
(C)
The line from Othello — “How poor are they that have not patience!”— may have been in the mind of the Royal Shakespeare Company when it was considering how best to retain the attention of time-poor audiences this season. Yet it chose a different route — an intentional departure from tradition: one play is to be streamlined into an 80-minute production, for those who don’t have the time to sit through the full two-or three-hour version. Tamara Harvey and Daniel Evans, co-artistic directors announcing their first season of RSC programming, said this shortened show — As You Like It, to be performed in the outdoor Holloway Garden Theatre — would be ideal for tourists visiting Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare.
But is it really a departure? Even as a lover of the plays in all their messy fullness, I believe there can be a refreshing focus to a short show. Some shortened Shakespeare’s — such as Simon Godwin’s Romeo and Juliet — are every bit as rich as the originals, if done well. Beyond artistic interpretation, the new format offers something practical: accessibility.
The RSC’s shortened production reflects a broader vision of making theatre more convenient and varied. Tickets are cheaper, starting at £10, and As You Like It begins at 5 p. m. so visitors can catch an evening train out of Stratford. I have foolishly attempted to return to London after a first night at the RSC, only to find the last train long gone. Shakespeare himself would have approved — ever the businessman, ever the pragmatist (实用主义者), and ever alert to his audiences’ needs.
The progressive — and welcome — move here is that Harvey and Evans consider the whole experience of theatregoing, not just the play in isolation. A night at the theatre can be stressful: the rushed early dinner, the endless queue for the toilet, the squeeze into seats built for small-boned Victorians, and the inevitable head blocking your view. To shorten a show is not to lessen its artistry but to make it more humane, to harmonize art with the rhythms of modern life
Of course, the play’s the thing, and it is why we go to the theatre. But it’s not the only reason. Some want to enjoy the full three-hour production with not a word removed; others want to have dinner and chat afterwards, or catch the bus home without having to make a mad run for it. Within this landscape, a bite-size Shakespeare has its rightful place.
43. What is the main purpose of shortening As You Like It to an 80-minute version?
A. To make the story easier for younger audiences to understand.
B. To provide a convenient option for visitors with limited time.
C. To experiment with new stage technology and visual effects.
D. To replace the original two-or three-hour play temporarily.
44. Why does the writer mention missing the last train to London?
A. To criticize the poor public transport in Stafford.
B. To show that evening plays are too long for travelers.
C. To highlight the need for better planning by theatre visitors.
D. To illustrate how the new schedule solves a real inconvenience.
45. What is the main idea of the 4th paragraph?
A. The RSC is losing artistic value by shortening plays.
B. The directors resolve to simplify Shakespeare’s language.
C. The audience prefers watching plays online rather than in theatres.
D. The theatre experience should consider audience comfort and modern lifestyles.
46. What is the central message of the article?
A. Shorter Shakespeare plays weaken artistic traditions.
B. The RSC’s shortened productions balance art and practicality.
C. Traditional plays are adapted into other art forms for promotion.
D. Modern audiences no longer appreciate Shakespeare’s long plays.
【答案】43. B 44. D 45. D 46. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了英国皇家莎士比亚剧团(RSC)为了吸引时间有限的观众,将《皆大欢喜》缩短为80分钟的版本。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“one play is to be streamlined into an 80-minute production, for those who don’t have the time to sit through the full two-or three-hour version.(其中一部戏剧将被精简为80分钟的版本,供那些没有时间观看完整两三个小时版本的人观看。)”可知,将《皆大欢喜》缩短为80分钟版本的主要目的是为时间有限的游客提供方便的选择。故选B。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The RSC’s shortened production reflects a broader vision of making theatre more convenient and varied. Tickets are cheaper, starting at £10, and As You Like It begins at 5 p. m. so visitors can catch an evening train out of Stratford. I have foolishly attempted to return to London after a first night at the RSC, only to find the last train long gone. Shakespeare himself would have approved — ever the businessman, ever the pragmatist (实用主义者), and ever alert to his audiences’ needs.(皇家莎士比亚剧团的精简版剧目,折射出一种更宏大的愿景 —— 让戏剧变得更便捷、更多元。该剧目票价更加亲民,最低仅10英镑,并且《皆大欢喜》的演出从下午5点开始,这样一来,游客们便能赶上驶离埃文河畔斯特拉特福的夜间火车。我曾有过一次颇为糊涂的经历:在皇家莎士比亚剧团看完首演夜的戏剧后便打算返回伦敦,结果却发现末班车早已开走。莎士比亚本人想必也会赞同这种做法 —— 他向来是一位精明的商人、一位务实主义者,并且总能敏锐地洞察观众的需求。)”可知,作者提到错过末班车是为了说明新时间表如何解决了一个真正的不便。故选D。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“The progressive — and welcome — move here is that Harvey and Evans consider the whole experience of theatregoing, not just the play in isolation. A night at the theatre can be stressful: the rushed early dinner, the endless queue for the toilet, the squeeze into seats built for small-boned Victorians, and the inevitable head blocking your view. To shorten a show is not to lessen its artistry but to make it more humane, to harmonize art with the rhythms of modern life.(哈维和埃文斯此番举措兼具前瞻性与亲和力,核心在于他们考量的是观众看戏的完整体验,而非仅仅孤立地看待戏剧本身。去剧院看一场戏,过程可能满是奔波疲惫:火急火燎地扒完一顿仓促的晚餐、排不完的如厕长队、挤进那些为身形纤瘦的维多利亚时代人设计的座位,视线还总会被前排的人头无情遮挡。缩短戏剧时长,绝非是对其艺术性的削弱,而是让戏剧更具人文关怀,让艺术与现代生活的节奏同频共振。)”可知,第四段的主要思想是剧院体验应该考虑观众的舒适和现代生活方式。故选D。
【46题详解】
主旨大意题。提到皇家莎士比亚剧团将《皆大欢喜》缩短为80分钟的版本,为时间有限的游客提供方便的选择,并且票价更便宜,开始时间也更适合游客赶火车,还提到缩短一场演出并不是减少其艺术性,而是使其更人性化,使艺术与现代生活的节奏相协调,由此可知,这篇文章的中心思想是皇家莎士比亚剧团的精简版在艺术和实用性之间取得了平衡。故选B。

The Joy of Small Museums
Of the 2 500 museums estimated to exist around the UK, the great national institutions take all the air, with their popular shows and rows over funding, return of seized treasures and — in the case of the British Museum — reported thefts. ____47____ From their earliest days, critics have challenged their tendency to collect and display the remains of empires. The writer G. K. Chesterton once remarked that the Museum is not meant either for the wanderer to see by accident, but rather for the mere slave of a routine of self-education to stuff himself with every sort of intellectual food in one indigestible meal.
But there are hundreds of smaller museums, often founded by enthusiasts, that make an incalculable contribution to cultural life. For those financed through local authorities, the past decade and a half has been harsh, with spending on England’s museums and galleries falling by more than a third. ____48____
The Musical Museum is a case in point. It was founded in an abandoned church by Frank Holland to house his growing collection of instruments, and he sold his home to support it. It has since moved to a new building, from where it streams concerts on the Mighty Wurlitzer. ____49____ Volunteers rolled up their sleeves and responded by launching a 60th-anniversary appeal, which is on the point of reaching its target.
____50____ They embody many different enthusiasms, from pens (Birmingham) to dog collars (Kent). Such institutions are labours of love. They are also statements of what individuals or communities want to save of, and for, themselves — and the work they will put into preserving it. They are the stories of what we have been and who we are.
A. But as Mr Holland’s fund ran dry, the museum had to lay off staff and cut opening hours.
B. Yet collecting is a basic human instinct, and the will to share collections is strong.
C. Have you heard about the museum of clocks that may have to be closed unless the founder can find someone to keep it running when he retires?
D. Doubts about the size and purpose of such vast institutions are nothing new.
E. But if proof of living value were needed, one of their members provided it two years ago.
F. This is a story that will ring bells with many small museums.
【答案】47. D 48. F 49. A 50. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章讲述了英国一些由爱好者或地方政府创办的小型博物馆面临的困境以及这些小型机构的意义。
【47题详解】
前文“Of the 2, 500 museums estimated to exist around the UK, the great national institutions take all the air, with their popular shows and rows over funding, return of seized treasures and — in the case of the British Museum — reported thefts.(据估计,英国境内共有2500家博物馆,其中,大型国家级博物馆占据了所有版面,它们举办的热门展览以及围绕资金、归还被扣押的珍宝(以及大英博物馆报道的盗窃案)的争论都备受关注。)”提到英国大型国家级博物馆备受关注,并列举其争议(资金、文物归还、盗窃案),后文“From their earliest days, critics have challenged their tendency to collect and display the remains of empires.(从它们成立之初,批评者就对其收集和展示帝国遗迹的倾向提出了质疑。)”提到批评者对大型国家博物馆的质疑。空格处需衔接“大型博物馆的争议”与“批评者的质疑历史”,D项“对这类庞大机构的规模和目的的怀疑并非新鲜事)”承上启下,符合逻辑。故选D。
【48题详解】
前文“For those financed through local authorities, the past decade and a half has been harsh, with spending on England’s museums and galleries falling by more than a third.(对于那些由地方政府资助的博物馆来说,过去的15年是艰难的,英格兰博物馆和画廊的支出下降了三分之一以上)”提到由地方政府资助的博物馆举步维艰,后文“ The Musical Museum is a case in point. It was founded in an abandoned church by Frank Holland to house his growing collection of instruments, and he sold his home to support it. (它是由弗兰克·霍兰德在一个废弃的教堂里建立的,用来存放他越来越多的乐器收藏,他卖掉了自己的房子来支持它。)”空格前讲小型博物馆的普遍困境,空格后是具体案例,空格处需承上启下,从 “普遍困境” 过渡到 “具体例子”,且可能隐含 “这类困境在小型博物馆中很常见” 的含义。F项“这类困境在小型博物馆中很常见”符合语境。故选F。
【49题详解】
前文“It was founded in an abandoned church by Frank Holland to house his growing collection of instruments, and he sold his home to support it. It has since moved to a new building, from where it streams concerts on the Mighty Wurlitzer.(它是由弗兰克·霍兰德在一个废弃的教堂里建立的,用来存放他越来越多的乐器收藏,他卖掉了自己的房子来支持它。此后,它搬到了一座新楼,在那里通过Mighty Wurlitzer播放音乐会)”描述了音乐博物馆创始人卖掉房子维持运转,后文“Volunteers rolled up their sleeves and responded by launching a 60th-anniversary appeal, which is on the point of reaching its target.(志愿者们挽起袖子,发起了60周年纪念呼吁,即将达到目标)”提到志愿者的加入,由此推知音乐博物馆面临严重的经济困难,A项“但随着霍兰德的资金枯竭,博物馆不得不裁员并缩短开放时间”符合语境,故选A。
【50题详解】
后文“They embody many different enthusiasms, from pens (Birmingham) to dog collars (Kent).(它们体现了许多不同的热情,从钢笔(伯明翰)到狗项圈(肯特))”提到两个博物馆的两个展品,B项“然而,收藏是人类的一种基本本能,他们分享收藏品的意愿很强烈”符合语境,与上文“小型地方博物馆面临困境”形成语义上的转折,B项中“collections”是下文“They”的指代对象,且呼应“from pens (Birmingham) to dog collars (Kent)”,故选B。

Catania Turns the Tables on Blue Crabs
In a suburb of Catania on Sicily’s east coast, smoke rises from street stalls grilling horse meat, while youngsters gather around counters selling seltz limone e sale — a soda drink with lemon and sea salt. Amid this lively scene, a family of ex-fishers, the Salamones, have opened La Fish, a seafood restaurant that dares to challenge local diet traditions. Alongside Sicily’s classics like swordfish (剑鱼) and tuna, tonight’s tasting menu features a surprising newcomer to the island’s tables — the Atlantic blue crab.
These blue-clawed, olive-shelled crabs, originally from the western Atlantic Ocean, have become an ecological threat in the Mediterranean. Without natural enemies, they feed on young clams, destroying shellfish harvests and destroying Italy’s reputation as one of the world’s top clam producers. Their rapid spread has been linked to rising sea temperatures, which have made Sicilian waters increasingly welcoming to non-native species. What began as an environmental concern is gradually turning into a test of human adaptability.
People in Sicily are responding in creative ways. One form of response comes from chef Mario Contadino, who celebrates the crab’s sweet and delicate flavor. He serves it on sticky sushi rice with onions, bell peppers, garlic, tomatoes, celery, and edible (可食用的) flowers to appeal to hesitant locals. “Catania people can be closed-minded, “he admits, “but that first bite does not lie. “Another response comes from scientists. Marine biologist Francesco Tiralongo of the University of Catania argues that embracing such non-native species in local diets is”a necessary response to climate change and ecological challenges. “
Social acceptance is following slowly but steadily. In the fish market behind Piazza del Duomo, shopkeeper Rosario now sells 20 kilograms of blue crab a day, saying customers love its taste. Meanwhile, the Salamone family turns the outsider into opportunity: by presenting blue crab as a fancy food, they show that”anything can be edible. “

Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets
52. 超速不仅对于你的乘客而言是非常危险的,而且也是违反法律的。(against)(汉译英)
_____________________________________________
【答案】Speeding is not only very dangerous for your passengers, but also against the law.
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态。表示“超速”应用speeding;表示“不仅……而且……”应用not only…but also…;表示“是”应用be,陈述客观事实,使用一般现在时,主语为speeding,be动词用is;表示“非常危险的”应用very dangerous;表示“对于你的乘客而言”应用for your passengers;表示“违反法律的”应用against the law。故翻译成:Speeding is not only very dangerous for your passengers, but also against the law.。
53. 通过这部纪录片,导演成功地向观众传递了保护濒危物种的重要性。(communicate) (汉译英)
_____________________________________________
【答案】Through this documentary, the director successfully communicated the importance of protecting endangered species to the audience.
【解析】
【详解】考查介词短语、时态和固定搭配。方式状语“通过这部纪录片”用介词短语through this documentary;主语“导演”用the director表示;“成功地”用副词successfully,修饰谓语动词;谓语“传递”用动词communicate,描述已经发生的事情,用一般过去时态;宾语“保护濒危物种的重要性”译为the importance of protecting endangered species;“向观众”用介词短语to the audience表示。综上,全句译为:Through this documentary, the director successfully communicated the importance of protecting endangered species to the audience.
54. 这位软件工程师每每遇到问题时都会向团队求助,这足以说明团队协作的核心价值。(汉译英)(Every time . . .)
_____________________________________________
【答案】Every time the software engineer encounters a problem, he turns to his team for help, which sufficiently demonstrates the core value of teamwork.
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句、动词时态、非限制性定语从句和动词短语。根据句意,该句描述软件工程师一贯的行为,使用一般现在时,根据提示,表示“每每遇到问题时”使用every time引导的时间状语从句,位于句首单词首字母需大写,表示“遇到”为encounter,主语“这位软件工程师”为the software engineer,为第三人称单数,所以谓语动词为encounters,所以“这位软件工程师每每遇到问题时”译为Every time the software engineer encounters a problem;主句“向……求助”为turn to...for help,表示“团队”为his team作宾语,所以主句“都会向团队求助”可译为he turns to his team for help;表示“这足以说明团队协作的核心价值”可使用which引导非限制性定语从句,修饰前面整个主句内容,which在从句中作主语;表示“说明”为demonstrates作定语从句的谓语,表示“足以”为sufficiently修饰动词demonstrates,表示“团队协作的核心价值”作宾语,可译为the core value of teamwork。故翻译为Every time the software engineer encounters a problem, he turns to his team for help, which sufficiently demonstrates the core value of teamwork.
55. 这位餐厅经理坚持认为,只有当公众真正了解海草并愿意接受它作为食物来源时,规模化生产才有意义。(seaweed) (汉译英)
_____________________________________________
【答案】The restaurant manager insists that large-scale production of seaweed is meaningful only when the public truly understands and accepts it as a food source.
【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句、条件状语从句、名词短语、动词和时态。“这位餐厅经理坚持认为”译为主句,剩余内容译为宾语从句。“这位餐厅经理”是主语,译为this restaurant manager,“坚持认为”是谓语,用动词insist表示,这里表示餐厅经理当前且一贯持有的观点,用一般现在时,主句译为This restaurant manager insists that…。宾语从句中“只有当公众真正了解海草并愿意接受它作为食物来源时”可视为“规模化生产才有意义”的必要条件,用only when引导状语从句,从句在形式上由when引导,有时间关联意味,但在逻辑上表达了一个强条件,功能上相当于一个条件状语从句;“规模化生产才有意义”为主句。“规模化生产”,译为名词短语large-scale production,这里是“海草的生产”,根据提示,“海草”用名词seaweed,在large-scale production后加介词短词of seaweed作后置定语;“才有意义”使用系表结构is meaningful,时态跟随主句谓语insists,用一般现在时。故“规模化生产才有意义”翻译为large-scale production of seaweed is meaningful。“只有当公众真正了解海草并愿意接受它作为食物来源时”中“公众”为主语,译为the public;“真正了解”和“愿意接受……作为……”处理为并列的谓语,中间用and连接。“了解”用understand表示,跟随全句谓语和宾从中主句时态,用一般现在时,主语the public是一个整体,谓语用第三人称单数形式understands;“真正”用副词truly作状语;“愿意接受……作为……”中“愿意”可省译,“接受……作为……”译为accept sth. as sth.,accept与understands并列,用accepts;“食物来源”译为名词短语a food source,source可数,前面需用不定冠词a;“接受它作为食物来源”译为accepts it as a food source。故“只有当公众真正了解海草并愿意接受它作为食物来源时”翻译为only when the public truly understands and accepts it as a food source,其中“海草”这个名词已在宾从中主句部分出现,此从句中使用代词it。故全句翻译为The restaurant manager insists that large-scale production of seaweed is meaningful only when the public truly understands and accepts it as a food source.

A Journey Back to Each Other
Inspired by my daughter’s tales of backpacking adventures and my desire to hang out with my youngest son outside the house, I booked two tickets to Shanghai for the September school holidays, surprising us both. We, ____1____ (arm) with a budget, some travel insurance, and a rough plan built around some last-minute internet searches, headed to the airport.
We arrived in Shanghai sleepy and excited at 5: 30 a.m. Despite the early start, the air was already hot and soupy, ____2____ my son used as an excuse to head straight for a convenience store and buy one of the many drinks he’d remembered from all those years before. There is something very freeing about arriving in a place where you have no plans. And we ____3____ (not do).

He dragged me shopping for jeans in stores and made me catch buses ____8____ (take) us in the wrong direction entirely. He was just as likely as I was____9____ (know) what train to catch, or find the right street to turn down, or stand in awe at the foot of a giant temple, or queue for hours for a steaming bowl of Xiaolongbao.

Apps That Bring Art to Life
At the Betty Cuningham gallery on the Lower East Side recently, I noticed an arresting painting: a woman asleep by a window with the Empire State Building in view, and a floating fish above her. Fascinated, I opened a smartphone app called Magnus, and within seconds, it ____11____ the piece as Philip Pearlstein’s Model With Empire State Building (1992), priced at $300,000. The app also provided its sales history and saved the details for future ____12____.
Magnus is part of a wave of smartphone apps trying to recognize the physical world as a way of providing instant information about songs or clothes or plants or paintings. While Shazam has ____13____ with over a billion downloads, apps like Magnus and Smartify appeal to art enthusiasts by demystifying the art world. Magnus has built a database of more than 10 million images of art, and aims to help ____14____ art buyers navigate art galleries and fairs with little information.
Smartify, on the other hand, ____15____ museumgoers, cooperating with institutions to provide educational content and accessibility features like audio guides for users with visual problems. Similarly, Google Lens is ____16____ into art, partnering with museums like San Francisco’s de Young Museum and platforms like Wescover to identify public and local art.
However, building a “Shazam for art” faces unique challenges. Unlike music, ____17____ individual artworks is complicated by its sheer volume, copyright issues, and the limitations of image recognition technology, particularly with 3D objects. Despite these ____18____, apps like Magnus bring clarity to a commonly secretive market, helping users navigate galleries and even negotiate prices.
After a few weeks of trying out apps-for-art in museums and galleries, I found that they did not increase the quality of my visual ____19____. The app shouldn’t be our sole guide through the visual world. Walking around the New Museum with the Magnus app, I found myself breezing past paintings, not looking too hard at details because the camera was looking for me, and the app knew much more than I did. There was that little ____20____, satisfying click of recognition. It was hard to stop.
II. Reading Comprehension
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.
Is cooking a science? For years, many — including myself — would have said no. A kitchen is where we seek warmth and comfort, not a clinical lab. However, the idea of ____21____ science with home cooking has been gaining popularity. Books like The Food Lab: Better Home Cooking Through Science by J. Kenji López-Alt, which has overtaken classics like The Joy of Cooking in online reviews, ____22____ this shift. Science, it seems, offers home cooks the tools to make everyday dishes more delicious and ____23____ — think meatloaf that doesn’t fall apart.
This enthusiasm for science in the kitchen has been ____24____ by trends like sourdough baking and fermentation (发酵), where precision matters. Weekend bakers now experiment with water content in dough, while many home cooks ____25____ tools like digital scales and instant-read thermometers to achieve consistent results.
Like many people, I grew up convinced that science was the ____26____ of good cooking. For my mother, it meant cheap, industrial food — far from her fresh vegetable soups and slow-cooked beef. Yet, ____27____, she was practicing kitchen science. By cooking meat until it turned brown for a rich flavor and letting it cook long and slow enough to make it soft and juicy, she used simple cooking techniques to create delicious dishes.
López-Alt ____28____ this everyday science, focusing not on trendy cooking tricks but on practical insights for better results. ____29____ to chop onions without tears, he advises cutting from root to tip, releasing fewer tear-watering chemicals. These small ____30____, grounded in observation and experimentation, make cooking more effective and enjoyable.
Even long-held cooking wisdom can be ____31____. Harold McGee, author of On Food and Cooking, disproved the myth that asparagus (芦笋) naturally breaks where it becomes soft. ____32____, he found better results by simply cutting the stalks (茎) 6-7 inches from the tip. López-Alt even ____33____ traditional pasta-cooking methods, showing that less water and a shorter boil can still yield perfectly cooked noodles.
I feel lucky to be cooking at a time when people like Mr. López-Alt are conducting such fun kitchen experiments. Yet it’s also true that ____34____ can never tell the whole story of cooking. A great meal is not just a combination of chemicals and physical processes. It is also a reflection of culture and family and the craft of the people who ____35____ before us.

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)
Becoming a Birder
Last September, I drove to a protected wetland near my home in Oakland, and walked to the end of a pier and started looking at birds. Since then, my birding obsession has progressed at an alarming pace. I’ve seen 452 species, including 307 this year alone.
Birding has proved more absorbing and peace-bringing than mindful reflection. While birding, I seem impervious to heat, cold, hunger and thirst. My senses focus firmly on the present, and the usual buzz in my head becomes quiet. When I spot a species for the first time, I course with thrill while being entirely at peace.
I also feel a much deeper connection to the natural world. The passing of the seasons feels more detailed, marked by the arrival and disappearance of particular species instead of much slower changes in day length, temperature and greenery. I find myself noticing small shifts in the weather and small differences in habitat. I think about the tides.
So much more of the natural world feels close and accessible now. When I started birding, I remember thinking that I’d never see most of the species in my field guide. I had internalized the idea of nature as distant and remote — the province of nature documentaries and far-flung vacations. But in the past six months, I’ve seen soaring golden eagles and marveled at diving Pacific loons, all within an hour of my house.
It’s easy to think of birding as an escape from reality. Instead, I see it as immersion in the true reality. I don’t need to know who the main characters are on social media and what everyone is saying about them, when I can instead spend an hour trying to find a rare sparrow. It’s very clear to me which of those two activities is the more ridiculous. It’s not the one with the sparrow.
36. Why does the author describe his birding habit as”an obsession”?
A. To show his intense passion for birding.
B. To illustrate its peace-bringing mindful effect.
C. To highlight his rapid species-spotting progress.
D. To stress it’s more meaningful than social media.
37. The underlined phrase “seem impervious to” is closest in meaning to
A. seem sensitive to B. seem unaffected by
C. appear troubled by D. appear subject to
38. Which of the following descriptions is closest to a birder’s state of mind according to the passage?
A. Watching nature documentaries to feel close to wild birds.
B. Long-distance jogging in the woods to train for a marathon.
C. Fishing by a local pond engaged in the process of observation.
D. Travelling miles with the goal of checking a rare species off a list.
39. What life lesson does the author draw about birding?
A. Quality time spent in nature’s wonders leads to a joyful life.
B. Bird watching itself is more meaningful than one’s busy daily routines.
C. Focus on the immediate natural surroundings breeds true meaning in life.
D. One should live in the present rather than escape from reality to pursue joy.

(C)
The line from Othello — “How poor are they that have not patience!”— may have been in the mind of the Royal Shakespeare Company when it was considering how best to retain the attention of time-poor audiences this season. Yet it chose a different route — an intentional departure from tradition: one play is to be streamlined into an 80-minute production, for those who don’t have the time to sit through the full two-or three-hour version. Tamara Harvey and Daniel Evans, co-artistic directors announcing their first season of RSC programming, said this shortened show — As You Like It, to be performed in the outdoor Holloway Garden Theatre — would be ideal for tourists visiting Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare.
But is it really a departure? Even as a lover of the plays in all their messy fullness, I believe there can be a refreshing focus to a short show. Some shortened Shakespeare’s — such as Simon Godwin’s Romeo and Juliet — are every bit as rich as the originals, if done well. Beyond artistic interpretation, the new format offers something practical: accessibility.
The RSC’s shortened production reflects a broader vision of making theatre more convenient and varied. Tickets are cheaper, starting at £10, and As You Like It begins at 5 p. m. so visitors can catch an evening train out of Stratford. I have foolishly attempted to return to London after a first night at the RSC, only to find the last train long gone. Shakespeare himself would have approved — ever the businessman, ever the pragmatist (实用主义者), and ever alert to his audiences’ needs.
The progressive — and welcome — move here is that Harvey and Evans consider the whole experience of theatregoing, not just the play in isolation. A night at the theatre can be stressful: the rushed early dinner, the endless queue for the toilet, the squeeze into seats built for small-boned Victorians, and the inevitable head blocking your view. To shorten a show is not to lessen its artistry but to make it more humane, to harmonize art with the rhythms of modern life
Of course, the play’s the thing, and it is why we go to the theatre. But it’s not the only reason. Some want to enjoy the full three-hour production with not a word removed; others want to have dinner and chat afterwards, or catch the bus home without having to make a mad run for it. Within this landscape, a bite-size Shakespeare has its rightful place.
43. What is the main purpose of shortening As You Like It to an 80-minute version?
A. To make the story easier for younger audiences to understand.
B. To provide a convenient option for visitors with limited time.
C. To experiment with new stage technology and visual effects.
D. To replace the original two-or three-hour play temporarily.
44. Why does the writer mention missing the last train to London?
A. To criticize the poor public transport in Stafford.
B. To show that evening plays are too long for travelers.
C. To highlight the need for better planning by theatre visitors.
D. To illustrate how the new schedule solves a real inconvenience.
45 What is the main idea of the 4th paragraph?
A. The RSC is losing artistic value by shortening plays.
B. The directors resolve to simplify Shakespeare’s language.
C. The audience prefers watching plays online rather than in theatres.
D. The theatre experience should consider audience comfort and modern lifestyles.
46. What is the central message of the article?
A. Shorter Shakespeare plays weaken artistic traditions.
B. The RSC’s shortened productions balance art and practicality.
C. Traditional plays are adapted into other art forms for promotion.
D. Modern audiences no longer appreciate Shakespeare’s long plays.

The Joy of Small Museums
Of the 2, 500 museums estimated to exist around the UK, the great national institutions take all the air, with their popular shows and rows over funding, return of seized treasures and — in the case of the British Museum — reported thefts. ____47____ From their earliest days, critics have challenged their tendency to collect and display the remains of empires. The writer G. K. Chesterton once remarked that the Museum is not meant either for the wanderer to see by accident, but rather for the mere slave of a routine of self-education to stuff himself with every sort of intellectual food in one indigestible meal.
But there are hundreds of smaller museums, often founded by enthusiasts, that make an incalculable contribution to cultural life. For those financed through local authorities, the past decade and a half has been harsh, with spending on England’s museums and galleries falling by more than a third. ____48____
The Musical Museum is a case in point. It was founded in an abandoned church by Frank Holland to house his growing collection of instruments, and he sold his home to support it. It has since moved to a new building, from where it streams concerts on the Mighty Wurlitzer. ____49____ Volunteers rolled up their sleeves and responded by launching a 60th-anniversary appeal, which is on the point of reaching its target.
____50____ They embody many different enthusiasms, from pens (Birmingham) to dog collars (Kent). Such institutions are labours of love. They are also statements of what individuals or communities want to save of, and for, themselves — and the work they will put into preserving it. They are the stories of what we have been and who we are.
A. But as Mr Holland’s fund ran dry, the museum had to lay off staff and cut opening hours.
B. Yet collecting is a basic human instinct, and the will to share collections is strong.
C. Have you heard about the museum of clocks that may have to be closed unless the founder can find someone to keep it running when he retires?
D. Doubts about the size and purpose of such vast institutions are nothing new.
E. But if proof of living value were needed, one of their members provided it two years ago.
F. This is a story that will ring bells with many small museums.
II. Summary Writing
51 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.
Catania Turns the Tables on Blue Crabs
In a suburb of Catania on Sicily’s east coast, smoke rises from street stalls grilling horse meat, while youngsters gather around counters selling seltz limone e sale — a soda drink with lemon and sea salt. Amid this lively scene, a family of ex-fishers, the Salamones, have opened La Fish, a seafood restaurant that dares to challenge local diet traditions. Alongside Sicily’s classics like swordfish (剑鱼) and tuna, tonight’s tasting menu features a surprising newcomer to the island’s tables — the Atlantic blue crab.
These blue-clawed, olive-shelled crabs, originally from the western Atlantic Ocean, have become an ecological threat in the Mediterranean. Without natural enemies, they feed on young clams, destroying shellfish harvests and destroying Italy’s reputation as one of the world’s top clam producers. Their rapid spread has been linked to rising sea temperatures, which have made Sicilian waters increasingly welcoming to non-native species. What began as an environmental concern is gradually turning into a test of human adaptability.
People in Sicily are responding in creative ways. One form of response comes from chef Mario Contadino, who celebrates the crab’s sweet and delicate flavor. He serves it on sticky sushi rice with onions, bell peppers, garlic, tomatoes, celery, and edible (可食用的) flowers to appeal to hesitant locals. “Catania people can be closed-minded, “he admits, “but that first bite does not lie. “Another response comes from scientists. Marine biologist Francesco Tiralongo of the University of Catania argues that embracing such non-native species in local diets is”a necessary response to climate change and ecological challenges. “
Social acceptance is following slowly but steadily. In the fish market behind Piazza del Duomo shopkeeper Rosario now sells 20 kilograms of blue crab a day, saying customers love its taste. Meanwhile, the Salamone family turns the outsider into opportunity: by presenting blue crab as a fancy food, they show that”anything can be edible. “
