A 【解析】 【分析】本文讲述了作者暑假和同学去贵州旅行的经历，既欣赏了黄果树瀑布的自然美景，也参观了被誉为“中国天眼”的FAST射电望远镜，表达了对贵州自然风光与中国科技的赞叹，以及对这次旅行的难忘之情。 【13题详解】 句意：我们不得不沿着山路步行到达观景台。 根据前文“walk along a mountain path”，步行的目的是到达观景台，应选reach，意思是“到达”。leave“离开”、stop“停止”、paint“绘画”均不符合语境。 【14题详解】 句意：当我感到疲惫时，瀑布突然出现在我们眼前。 根据前文“When I was feeling tired”，在疲惫时瀑布意外出现，应选suddenly，意思是“突然地”。mainly“主要地”、heavily“沉重地”、only“仅仅”均不符合语境。 【15题详解】 句意：当我们靠近瀑布时，空气中细小的水珠打在我们身上。 根据“Tiny water drops in the air hit us…we went near the waterfall.”可知是当靠近瀑布时，有细小水珠打在身上，此处引导时间状语从句，表示“当……的时候”，应选when。though“虽然”、unless“除非”、so“所以”均不符合逻辑。 【16题详解】 句意：我们离得越近，声音就越大。 “the + 比较级，the + 比较级”是固定结构，表示“越……，越……”，根据常识，离瀑布越近声音越大，应选closer，意思是 “更近的”。higher“更高的”、faster“更快的”、lower“更低的”均不符合常识。 【17题详解】 句意：水流看起来像一缕缕丝绸，汇聚成瀑布。 根据后文“like pieces of silk”，是视觉上的描述，应选looked，意思是“看起来”。tasted“尝起来”、sounded“听起来”、smelt“闻起来” 均不符合视觉描述的语境。 【18题详解】 句意：它作为中国的“天眼”而闻名，建在群山之中。 根据“It is known…China’s ‘Sky Eye’”，可知固定搭配be known as表示“作为……而闻名”，符合语境。be known for“因……而闻名”、be known to“为……所熟知”、be known by“凭……而知）”均不符合。 【19题详解】 句意：在把所有电子产品都上交后，我们走进了游览区。 after是介词，后接动名词作宾语，应选handing。hand（动词原形）、hands（第三人称单数）、handed（过去式 / 过去分词）均不符合语法要求。 【20题详解】 句意：我爸爸告诉我，这个“锅”可以接收来自外太空的信息，帮助科学家开展研究。 根据后文“messages from outer space”，射电望远镜的功能是接收信号，应选receive，意思是“接收”。forget“忘记”、take“拿走”、kick“踢”均不符合功能描述。 【21题详解】 句意：当我听到这些时，我为中国人民的创造力感到无比自豪。 根据“I felt so…of Chinese people’s creativity.”，可知是固定搭配be proud of表示“为……感到自豪”，符合语境。afraid“害怕的”、tired“疲惫的”、worried“担忧的”均不符合语境。 【22题详解】 句意：这次贵州之行对我来说是一次一生一次的经历。 根据后文“left a deep impression on me”，旅行是一次难忘的经历，应选experience，意思是“经历”。trust“信任”、interest“兴趣”、decision“决定”均不符合语境。 【23题详解】 句意：我经常和我的家人朋友分享这次旅行的照片和故事。 根据“I often share the photos and stories of the trip…my family and friends”，可知是固定搭配share sth. with sb.表示“和某人分享某物”，应选with。 【24题详解】 句意：他们都说渴望有一天自己去贵州游玩。 主语是They，对应反身代词themselves，表示“他们自己”。 三、阅读理解 阅读下列内容，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。 In the digital age, “cloud travel” has become more and more popular among young people. With a click or a swipe, you can “visit” many places at home without going out. Some people say cloud travel will take the place of on-site travel, but I believe the two can never replace each other. Cloud travel has many advantages. First, it is convenient and low-cost. You don’t need to spend money on flights, hotels or tickets. You can visit any place at any time. Secondly, it can give a more detailed introduction to the places. Many programs have professional guides to explain the history and culture. What’s more, it is environmentally friendly. It produces no carbon emissions and won’t damage the environment or relics. However, on-site travel has its special charm. The most important thing is the immersive (沉浸式) experience. You can feel the wind, smell the flowers, hear the waves and talk with local people. These sensory (感官的) experiences can never be replaced by a screen. As the saying goes, “Seeing is believing.” Only when you stand in front of the Nanjing City Wall can you truly feel its greatness; only when you walk along the Qinhuai River can you truly understand its beauty. On-site travel also brings unexpected surprises and sweet memories. These wonderful moments can’t be experienced through cloud travel. In my opinion, cloud travel and on-site travel are not opposites (对立的). Cloud travel is good for people without time or money. On-site travel gives you real experiences. We can use cloud travel to broaden our horizons, and use on-site travel to feel the real world. 25. What is the main advantage of cloud travel mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. It can provide immersive sensory experiences. B. It is convenient, low-cost and environmentally friendly. C. It can bring unexpected surprises and memories. D. It can help you make new friends during the trip. 26. Which of the following is NOT true about cloud travel? A. It needs people to pay for flight and hotel tickets. B. It can let people visit far attractions at any time. C. It has professional guides to explain attractions. D. It won’t produce carbon emissions from transportation. 27. Why does the writer mention the Nanjing City Wall and Qinhuai River in Paragraph 3? A. To introduce the famous tourist attractions in Nanjing. B. To show that on-site travel can bring a real immersive experience. C. To compare the differences between Nanjing’s attractions and other places. D. To prove that cloud travel can provide a detailed introduction to attractions. 28. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Cloud travel will replace on-site travel in the near future. B. On-site travel is better than cloud travel in every way. C. Cloud travel and real travel can go well together. D. People should choose on-site travel instead of cloud travel. 29. What is the writer’s attitude towards cloud travel? A. Critical (批判). B. Neutral (中立). C. Negative (消极). D. Doubtful. 【答案】25. B 26. A 27. B 28. C 29. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讨论了云旅游和实地旅游各自的优势，并认为二者可以互补而非互相替代。 【25题详解】 第二段明确指出云旅游的优势：“First, it is convenient and low-cost. You don’t need to spend money on flights, hotels or tickets...It produces no carbon emissions and won’t damage the environment or relics”，说明云旅游的优势是方便、低成本且环保。 【26题详解】 第二段指出云旅游“You don’t need to spend money on flights, hotels or tickets”，说明云旅游不需要支付机票、酒店和门票费用，因此A选项说法错误。 【27题详解】 第三段提到“The most important thing is the immersive (沉浸式) experience...only when you walk along the Qinhuai River can you truly understand its beauty”，作者以南京城墙和秦淮河为例，说明只有亲身站在那里才能真正感受到其伟大和美丽，以此证明实地旅游能带来真正的沉浸式体验。 【28题详解】 最后一段作者说“cloud travel and on-site travel are not opposites”并指出二者各有用途，可以结合使用，因此云旅游和实地旅游可以很好地共存。 【29题详解】 作者在文中既肯定了云旅游的优点，也强调了实地旅游的不可替代性，认为二者可以互补，因此态度是中立的。 四、还原信息 In recent years, a number of Chinese books and movies have been translated into other languages. ____30____ They are learning Chinese and are interested in Chinese culture. Anna is one of them. Before she translated Jin Yong’s novel Legends of the Condor Heroes (《射雕英雄传》), English readers knew little about the writer. ____31____ But Anna managed to do it. The book’s themes impressed (给……深刻印象) her a lot. For example, good against bad, honest and love, and Chinese philosophy (哲学), Anna hoped to bring it to new readers. After five years of work, she finished translating the book and published it in 2018. ____32____ Many people think Anna did a good job. Anna studied at the University of Oxford. She took a trip to China at the age of 21. After the trip she became interested in China and began to learn Chinese. She calls herself “a clumsy (笨拙的) student, just like Guo Jing from Legends of the Condor Heroes, but one of loyal heart”. ____33____ Last year, he translated the movie Ne Zha. He said, “I see China’s stronger cultural influences (影响). As more young people learn to translate Chinese texts and films, more Chinese books and movies will come out for people to read and watch.” A. Like Anna, another translator David also learned Chinese in college. B. They are popular with people at different ages. C. Many of the translators are young people. D. One reason for this was that his works were too hard to translate. E. The book was reprinted seven times in several months in the UK. F. The US translators’ favourite Chinese writer is Lao She. 【答案】30. C 31. D 32. E 33. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了几位对中国文化感兴趣的译者及其翻译作品。 【30题详解】 根据上文“In recent years, a number of Chinese books and movies have been translated into other languages.”和下文“They are learning Chinese and are interested in Chinese culture.”可知，近年来，许多中文书籍和电影被翻译成其他语言，且下文表示他们正在学习中文，对中国文化很感兴趣，可推测此处是对翻译者的描述，C选项“许多译者都是年轻人。”符合语境。故选C。 【31题详解】 根据上文“Before she translated Jin Yong’s novel Legends of the Condor Heroes, English readers knew little about the writer.”可知，在她翻译金庸的小说《射雕英雄传》之前，英语读者对这位作家知之甚少，可推测此处关于外国读者对金庸知之甚少的原因的语句，D选项“其中一个原因是他的作品很难翻译。”符合语境。故选D。 【32题详解】 根据上文“After five years of work, she finished translating the book and published it in 2018.”可知，经过五年的努力，她完成了这本书的翻译，并于2018年出版，可推测此处是对这本书的介绍，E选项“这本书在英国几个月内重印了七次。”符合语境。故选E。 【33题详解】 根据下文“Last year, he translated the movie Ne Zha. He said, “I see China’s stronger cultural influences.”可知，去年，他翻译了电影《哪吒》，可推测此处是关于《哪吒》的译者的介绍，A选项“和安娜一样，另一位译者大卫也在大学里学过中文。”符合语境。故选A。 五、综合填空 根据短文内容，用单词的正确形式填空。 The summer camp of Mandarin Excellence Programme (中文培优) took place in Beijing in July.

With a click or a swipe, you can “visit” many places at home without going out. Some people say cloud travel will take the place of on-site travel, but I believe the two can never replace each other. Cloud travel has many advantages. First, it is convenient and low-cost. You don’t need to spend money on flights, hotels or tickets. You can visit any place at any time. Secondly, it can give a more detailed introduction to the places. Many programs have professional guides to explain the history and culture. What’s more, it is environmentally friendly. It produces no carbon emissions and won’t damage the environment or relics. However, on-site travel has its special charm. The most important thing is the immersive (沉浸式) experience. You can feel the wind, smell the flowers, hear the waves and talk with local people. These sensory (感官的) experiences can never be replaced by a screen. As the saying goes, “Seeing is believing.” Only when you stand in front of the Nanjing City Wall can you truly feel its greatness; only when you walk along the Qinhuai River can you truly understand its beauty. On-site travel also brings unexpected surprises and sweet memories. These wonderful moments can’t be experienced through cloud travel. In my opinion, cloud travel and on-site travel are not opposites (对立的). Cloud travel is good for people without time or money. On-site travel gives you real experiences. We can use cloud travel to broaden our horizons, and use on-site travel to feel the real world. 25. What is the main advantage of cloud travel mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. It can provide immersive sensory experiences. B. It is convenient, low-cost and environmentally friendly. C. It can bring unexpected surprises and memories. D. It can help you make new friends during the trip. 26. Which of the following is NOT true about cloud travel? A. It needs people to pay for flight and hotel tickets. B. It can let people visit far attractions at any time. C. It has professional guides to explain attractions. D. It won’t produce carbon emissions from transportation. 27. Why does the writer mention the Nanjing City Wall and Qinhuai River in Paragraph 3? A. To introduce the famous tourist attractions in Nanjing. B. To show that on-site travel can bring a real immersive experience. C. To compare the differences between Nanjing’s attractions and other places. D. To prove that cloud travel can provide a detailed introduction to attractions. 28. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Cloud travel will replace on-site travel in the near future. B. On-site travel is better than cloud travel in every way. C. Cloud travel and real travel can go well together. D. People should choose on-site travel instead of cloud travel. 29. What is the writer’s attitude towards cloud travel? A. Critical (批判). B. Neutral (中立). C. Negative (消极). D. Doubtful. 四、还原信息 In recent years, a number of Chinese books and movies have been translated into other languages. ____30____ They are learning Chinese and are interested in Chinese culture. Anna is one of them. Before she translated Jin Yong’s novel Legends of the Condor Heroes (《射雕英雄传》), English readers knew little about the writer. ____31____ But Anna managed to do it.
