Travel has become increasingly inconvenient and sometimes impossible over the last couple of years. However, museums around the world are digitizing their collections, enabling people to tour the museums from afar.
The British Museum, London
The British Museum contains objects from around the world, including the Rosetta Stone, with three versions of a text that helped researchers learn to read ancient Egyptian.

MASP, S ão Paulo
The first modern museum in Brazil, the Museu de Arte de São Paulo includes art from the 14th to the 20th centuries. The paintings, which are placed on glass panels, appear to be floating in mid-air. This setup, included in the virtual tour shows, makes the art appear almost magical.
National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea
This Korean museum includes four branches in different cities and features works of art from Korea and around the world. The art includes a variety of media such as print, sculpture and photography.

NeSmith and Maxwell are long-time residents (居民) of Oglethorpe County, Georgia, and they have known each other for almost 50 years. In 2021, Maxwell called NeSmith to let him know that because of health problems, he would be closing his weekly newspaper, The Oglethorpe Echo. NeSmith decided to prevent the nearly 150-year-old local newspaper from being forgotten.
NeSmith remembered waking up at 6 a. m. after that phone call, He jumped into his truck and drove to The Echo offices. Upon arriving, he suggested that his friend think of a new solution.
“Well, what are we going to do?” Maxwell asked him. “Are you going to buy the newspaper?” NeSmith looked up, searching for an answer, Then, a sudden idea hit him.
He would create an organization and Maxwell would donate The Echo to it. After leaving the office, NeSmith called Charles Davis, director of the University of Georgia’s Grady College.
“I’ve got an idea,” NeSmith told him. “I want to turn The Echo into a real-life experience for students at Grady College who want to be reporters.” Davis loved the idea, and he and NeSmith developed a course with The Echo as its foundation. Students could experience a working newsroom which would act as a stepping stone into their careers.
Of course, they needed someone to run the newspaper. Then Andy Johnston, who had been teaching at Grady for a month, appeared, “I believe in the project. We’ve heard about other newspapers closing, especially in rural counties,” Johnston said, “When that happens, it means their only source of news and the only thing that holds people together is closing.”
Johnston teamed up with Amanda Bright, who taught the course. Bright, a community reporter, helped create new digital platforms for The Echo, including an email newsletter and a website.
The Echo also ran on a team of 12 volunteers that worked at the main office. The reason The Echo was able to continue is that everyone worked together — the students, Grady College, NeSmith, Maxwell, and the residents of Oglethorpe County.
4. (改编) Why did Maxwell make the phone call to NeSmith in 2021?
A. To invite him to contribute articles to The Echo.
B. To seek advice on how to improve his health condition.
C. To remind him of the long history of Oglethorpe County.
D. To inform him of the plan to shut down the weekly newspaper.
5. What may students at Grady College get from The Echo?
A. Skills for running newspapers. B. Work experience as a reporter.
C. Donations to continue their education. D. Chances to study famous newspapers.
6. Why does Johnston place importance on The Echo?
A. It has a long history. B. It offers fun to natives.
C. It unites the local people. D. It is owned by his family.
7. (原创) What does the author intend to tell readers through the story of The Echo?
A. Friendship is the most valuable treasure in life.
B. A community can join hands to keep local culture alive.
C. University students should take more responsibility for news.
D. Old newspapers are more valuable than modern digital ones.
C
An art exhibition that combines scientific knowledge with creative inspiration was recently presented in Albany. The exhibition featured artworks from MIX Artists in the Great Southern that showcased unique art-science cooperation between contemporary artists and marine (海洋的) scientists working in the region. The waters of the south coast and around Albany are well-known for their unique diversity of plants and animals, and the works conveyed important marine science knowledge and current research to a broad audience.
The Western Australian Marine Science Institution (WAMSI) provided opportunities for the artists to learn from marine scientists through talks, presentations and field trips. The artists also followed up with ongoing self-research and observation of their environment.
Dr Jenny Shaw, WAMSI Research Director, said, “It’s been a great opportunity to move science into the community and also see different interpretations of marine research topics.” The scientists benefited from explaining their work to different audiences, and the interest from the artists was incredibly high, contributing to a shared appreciation for the marine environment.
MIX Artists coordinator Annette Davis said the cooperation gave the artists fantastic insight into another world, and working with the scientists was fundamental to how the artworks had developed. “Responding with intuition (直觉), curiosity and imagination, the artists have interpreted their findings through chosen materials and techniques and created artworks to help move this understanding into the wider community,” Davis said.
The pursuit of marine science inspired some artists, whose artworks often centre around the finely-balanced coastal environment and the impact of structural change. Catherine Higham used seagrass and bamboo to make a large listening horn (喇叭) to listen to underwater life. Christine Baker’s work, titled Micro Plastic Menu, was inspired by a talk on microplastic pollution and how it enters food chains.
8. How did WAMSI assist the artists?
A. By aiding in materials creation. B. By providing technical guidance.
C. By offering a platform for art sales. D. By organizing educational events.
9. What can we infer from the text?
A. The art exhibition of scientists is very eye-catching.
B. People are much more interested in science than in art.
C. The participation of artists contributes to the spread of marine knowledge.
D. Artists should go into the classroom to learn cultural knowledge.
10. Why is the work Micro Plastic Menu mentioned in the text?
A. To highlight the personal experiences of the artist.
B. To illustrate that artists draw inspiration from science.
C. To demonstrate the use of technology in contemporary art.
D. To emphasize the role of art in environmental conservation.
11. Which is the best title for the text?
A. An Art Exhibition by a Famous Marine Artist.
B. A Cooperative Art and Marine Science Exhibition.
C. An Exhibition Showcasing Traditional Art Forms.
D. A Conference Discussing Marine Science Advancements.
D
It’s not just humans who get wiser as they age-animals do too, according to a growing body of research. Age is not just a number: as animals get older, they behave differently depending on their life experiences, gain richer knowledge of their environment, and often pass it on to younger members of their group, researchers say.
Previous research on aging focused on negative health aspects, says researcher Keller Kopf, an ecologist at Charles Darwin University in Australia. “That idea about old individuals not being important for populations, or for environments, is really not the full story,”he says. The more he examined different groups of animals, the more he found remarkable examples showing the value of older creatures.
Primates (灵长目动物), whales, elephants and pack-hunting animals all have old individuals who carry vital cultural knowledge and maintain social structures, according to Kopf’s research. Older female elephants, for example, have a “social memory” of who is a friend or enemy, and are more aware of potential (潜在的) dangers such as listening out for lions.
Kopf’s paper talks about the importance of “cultural transmission” that not only recognises that animals have culture, but that these individuals deliver their social learning to other individuals. Older individuals tend to have gathered the most knowledge.
On a more personal level, the discovery of the importance of older animals made Kopf think more about our own species. “It has made me think a lot more about how we don’t value older people in our society. Many people of advanced ages are forgotten about,” he says. This is a loss not only for the old people themselves, but for all of human society, he says. “What is that doing for the modern world?”
12. What can we know about animals getting older?
A. They leave little experience. B. They pass food to the young.
C. They always behave the same. D. They become more intelligent.
13. Why is previous research mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. To introduce the negative health aspects.
B. To stress the uniqueness of Kopf’s study.
C. To identify potential dangers of being old.
D. To recognise the value of the past research.
14. What does the underlined phrase “cultural transmission” probably mean?
A. Spreading knowledge and experience.
B. Maintaining social structures effectively
C. Exchanging individual cultural knowledge.
D. Discovering life experiences independently.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Animals Deserve Kindness. B. Age Defines Everything.
C. Youth Holds the Key. D. Wisdom Comes with Age.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给信息续写成一篇完整的短文。
Tina was a high school girl who loved comparing herself with others. She always cared about the latest clothes, expensive phones, and designer bags. Whenever someone showed off a new item, she’d feel jealous and immediately turn to her parents for something better. Having no idea how to deal with it, her parents had no choice but to satisfy her. With what she wanted on, peers would follow her, flattering her from head to toe. Tina smiled, with a barely perceived sense of emptiness.
At the beginning of the fall semester, Tina noticed a new face from another class. It’s Rita, who just transferred from a neighboring school. The girl was always alone, with simple clothes and an old schoolbag, but a smile hovered on her lips wherever she went. After school, Rita never got involved in classmates’ discussions about brands or luxuries. Instead, she herself spent most of her time in the classroom, studying or helping classmates with mathematics problems, or in the school library, doing voluntary jobs. One month later, Rita got straight As in a series of comprehensive tests and was awarded “the most popular student” in the school assembly. Her shining smile was brighter than ever, and young boys and girls began to gather around her.
One afternoon, Tina walked up to Rita, who was sitting under a tree and reading a book. “Hi, Tina. I’m Tina. What makes you so happy every day? You didn’t even have any friends.” Tina poured out her puzzles. Rita looked up with a familiar smile, “I feel every single day fruitful. I feel happy just because I’m on the way of being the one I want to be. That’s the secret.” Something hit Tina at that very moment. She turned back and headed home, without saying anything, not even goodbye. That night, Tina lay in bed and stared at the ceiling, replaying Rita’s words in her mind and lost in deep thought.
注意:
1. 续写词数总计为100词左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next day, Tina decided to make a change.
______________________________________________________________________________________

Besides self-satisfaction, Tina received plenty of praise and compliments from others.

NeSmith and Maxwell are long-time residents (居民) of Oglethorpe County, Georgia, and they have known each other for almost 50 years. In 2021, Maxwell called NeSmith to let him know that because of health problems, he would be closing his weekly newspaper, The Oglethorpe Echo. NeSmith decided to prevent the nearly 150-year-old local newspaper from being forgotten.
NeSmith remembered waking up at 6 a. m. after that phone call, He jumped into his truck and drove to The Echo offices. Upon arriving, he suggested that his friend think of a new solution.
“Well, what are we going to do?” Maxwell asked him. “Are you going to buy the newspaper?” NeSmith looked up, searching for an answer, Then, a sudden idea hit him.
He would create an organization and Maxwell would donate The Echo to it. After leaving the office, NeSmith called Charles Davis, director of the University of Georgia’s Grady College.
“I’ve got an idea,” NeSmith told him. “I want to turn The Echo into a real-life experience for students at Grady College who want to be reporters.” Davis loved the idea, and he and NeSmith developed a course with The Echo as its foundation. Students could experience a working newsroom which would act as a stepping stone into their careers.
Of course, they needed someone to run the newspaper. Then Andy Johnston, who had been teaching at Grady for a month, appeared, “I believe in the project. We’ve heard about other newspapers closing, especially in rural counties,” Johnston said, “When that happens, it means their only source of news and the only thing that holds people together is closing.”
Johnston teamed up with Amanda Bright, who taught the course. Bright, a community reporter, helped create new digital platforms for The Echo, including an email newsletter and a website.
The Echo also ran on a team of 12 volunteers that worked at the main office. The reason The Echo was able to continue is that everyone worked together — the students, Grady College, NeSmith, Maxwell, and the residents of Oglethorpe County.
4. (改编) Why did Maxwell make the phone call to NeSmith in 2021?
A. To invite him to contribute articles to The Echo.
B. To seek advice on how to improve his health condition.
C. To remind him of the long history of Oglethorpe County.
D. To inform him of the plan to shut down the weekly newspaper.
5. What may students at Grady College get from The Echo?
A. Skills for running newspapers. B. Work experience as a reporter.
C. Donations to continue their education. D. Chances to study famous newspapers.
6. Why does Johnston place importance on The Echo?
A. It has a long history. B. It offers fun to natives.
C. It unites the local people. D. It is owned by his family.
7. (原创) What does the author intend to tell readers through the story of The Echo?
A. Friendship is the most valuable treasure in life.
B. A community can join hands to keep local culture alive.
C. University students should take more responsibility for news.
D. Old newspapers are more valuable than modern digital ones.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. B

An art exhibition that combines scientific knowledge with creative inspiration was recently presented in Albany. The exhibition featured artworks from MIX Artists in the Great Southern that showcased unique art-science cooperation between contemporary artists and marine (海洋的) scientists working in the region. The waters of the south coast and around Albany are well-known for their unique diversity of plants and animals, and the works conveyed important marine science knowledge and current research to a broad audience.
The Western Australian Marine Science Institution (WAMSI) provided opportunities for the artists to learn from marine scientists through talks, presentations and field trips. The artists also followed up with ongoing self-research and observation of their environment.
Dr Jenny Shaw, WAMSI Research Director, said, “It’s been a great opportunity to move science into the community and also see different interpretations of marine research topics.” The scientists benefited from explaining their work to different audiences, and the interest from the artists was incredibly high, contributing to a shared appreciation for the marine environment.
MIX Artists coordinator Annette Davis said the cooperation gave the artists fantastic insight into another world, and working with the scientists was fundamental to how the artworks had developed. “Responding with intuition (直觉), curiosity and imagination, the artists have interpreted their findings through chosen materials and techniques and created artworks to help move this understanding into the wider community,” Davis said.
The pursuit of marine science inspired some artists, whose artworks often centre around the finely-balanced coastal environment and the impact of structural change. Catherine Higham used seagrass and bamboo to make a large listening horn (喇叭) to listen to underwater life. Christine Baker’s work, titled Micro Plastic Menu, was inspired by a talk on microplastic pollution and how it enters food chains.
8. How did WAMSI assist the artists?
A. By aiding in materials creation. B. By providing technical guidance.
C. By offering a platform for art sales. D. By organizing educational events.
9. What can we infer from the text?
A. The art exhibition of scientists is very eye-catching.
B. People are much more interested in science than in art.
C. The participation of artists contributes to the spread of marine knowledge.
D. Artists should go into the classroom to learn cultural knowledge.
10. Why is the work Micro Plastic Menu mentioned in the text?
A. To highlight the personal experiences of the artist.
B. To illustrate that artists draw inspiration from science.
C. To demonstrate the use of technology in contemporary art.
D. To emphasize the role of art in environmental conservation.
11. Which is the best title for the text?
A. An Art Exhibition by a Famous Marine Artist.
B. A Cooperative Art and Marine Science Exhibition.
C. An Exhibition Showcasing Traditional Art Forms.
D. A Conference Discussing Marine Science Advancements.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. B

【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The scientists benefited from explaining their work to different audiences, and the interest from the artists was incredibly high, contributing to a shared appreciation for the marine environment.(科学家们从向不同的受众阐释自己的研究工作中获益匪浅,而艺术家们对此表现出了极高的兴趣,这有助于大家对海洋环境形成一种共同的珍视之情。)”以及第四段“Responding with intuition (直觉), curiosity and imagination, the artists have interpreted their findings through chosen materials and techniques and created artworks to help move this understanding into the wider community(艺术家们凭借直觉、好奇心和想象力,通过选定的材料和技术诠释他们的发现,并创作艺术作品,帮助将这种理解传播到更广泛的社区。)”可推知,艺术家的参与有助于海洋知识的传播。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The pursuit of marine science inspired some artists, whose artworks often centre around the finely-balanced coastal environment and the impact of structural change.(对海洋科学的探索激发了一些艺术家的创作灵感,他们的艺术作品常常围绕着微妙平衡的沿海环境以及结构变化所带来的影响展开。)”可推断,文中提到《微塑料菜单》这个作品是为了说明艺术家从科学中汲取灵感。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“An art exhibition that combines scientific knowledge with creative inspiration was recently presented in Albany.

It’s not just humans who get wiser as they age-animals do too, according to a growing body of research. Age is not just a number: as animals get older, they behave differently depending on their life experiences, gain richer knowledge of their environment, and often pass it on to younger members of their group, researchers say.
Previous research on aging focused on negative health aspects, says researcher Keller Kopf, an ecologist at Charles Darwin University in Australia. “That idea about old individuals not being important for populations, or for environments, is really not the full story,”he says. The more he examined different groups of animals, the more he found remarkable examples showing the value of older creatures.
Primates (灵长目动物), whales, elephants and pack-hunting animals all have old individuals who carry vital cultural knowledge and maintain social structures, according to Kopf’s research. Older female elephants, for example, have a “social memory” of who is a friend or enemy, and are more aware of potential (潜在的) dangers such as listening out for lions.
Kopf’s paper talks about the importance of “cultural transmission” that not only recognises that animals have culture, but that these individuals deliver their social learning to other individuals. Older individuals tend to have gathered the most knowledge.
On a more personal level, the discovery of the importance of older animals made Kopf think more about our own species. “It has made me think a lot more about how we don’t value older people in our society. Many people of advanced ages are forgotten about,” he says. This is a loss not only for the old people themselves, but for all of human society, he says. “What is that doing for the modern world?”
12. What can we know about animals getting older?
A. They leave little experience. B. They pass food to the young.
C. They always behave the same. D. They become more intelligent.
13. Why is previous research mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. To introduce the negative health aspects.
B. To stress the uniqueness of Kopf’s study.
C. To identify potential dangers of being old.
D. To recognise the value of the past research.
14. What does the underlined phrase “cultural transmission” probably mean?
A. Spreading knowledge and experience.
B. Maintaining social structures effectively
C. Exchanging individual cultural knowledge.
D. Discovering life experiences independently.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Animals Deserve Kindness. B. Age Defines Everything.
C. Youth Holds the Key. D. Wisdom Comes with Age.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了动物随着年龄的增长会变得更加聪明和有智慧,并且他们将自己的生活经验传递给下一代年轻个体。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“It’s not just humans who get wiser as they age - animals do too, according to a growing body of research.(研究表明,不仅仅是人类,随着年龄的增长,动物也会变得更加聪明)”可知,动物随着年龄增长会变得更聪明。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Previous research on aging focused on negative health aspects, says researcher Keller Kopf, an ecologist at Charles Darwin University in Australia. "That idea about old individuals not being important for populations, or for environments, is really not the full story," he says. The more he examined different groups of animals, the more he found remarkable examples showing the value of older creatures.(澳大利亚查尔斯·达尔文大学的生态学家、研究员凯勒·科普夫说,以前对衰老的研究主要集中在对健康的负面影响上。他说:“关于老年人对人口或环境不重要的想法,真的不是全部”他对不同的动物群体研究得越多,就越能发现显示老年动物价值的显著例子)”可知,提到以往的研究是为了强调Kopf研究的独特性。故选B。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第四段“Kopf's paper talks about the importance of “cultural transmission” that not only recognises that animals have culture, but that these individuals deliver their social learning to other individuals. Older individuals tend to have gathered the most knowledge.(Kopf的论文谈到了“cultural transmission”的重要性,不仅承认动物有文化,而且这些个体将他们的社会学习传递给其他个体。年长的个体往往收集了最多的知识) ”可知,“文化传递”指的是传播知识和经验。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容,尤其是第一段”It’s not just humans who get wiser as they age - animals do too, according to a growing body of research.(研究表明,不仅仅是人类,随着年龄的增长,动物也会变得更加聪明)”可知,文章讲述了动物随着年龄的增长会变得更加聪明和有智慧并且会将知识传递给下一代,故可以用“智慧随年龄而来”作为本文合适的标题。故选D。

Whether from flooding, bridge failure or driver error, an unexpected drop into water is a terrifying experience. ___16___ But you can survive by staying calm and acting fast.
The moment the car hits the water, take a deep breath to overcome panic. Immediately unfasten your seatbelt. Do not try to open the door, as water pressure will make it impossible. ____17____ If the electrical system is still working, roll it down immediately. If not, you must break it.
If there are children in the car, release and help them out first, as it is far easier to get them to safety immediately than to attempt a rescue after you have got out yourself. If there are multiple kids in the car, start by helping the older ones. ____18____
If you can’t break a window, the door becomes your last option. Don’t rely on the popular belief of waiting for the car to fill with water to equalize pressure. ____19____ As water rises to your chest, take a final deep breath, push firmly against the door while pulling the handle, and swim out immediately. Your calmness and air conservation are critical now.
____20____ If you don’t know the way, follow light or bubbles — they go up. As you make your way up, remain aware of potential obstacles like rocks or strong currents. After you’ve successfully escaped the car and made it to the surface, call 911 or your local emergency number to report the accident.
Remember, emergencies like this are rare, but being prepared and knowing what to do can turn a terrifying situation into a survivable one.
A. It’s normal to feel scared.

【答案】16. A 17. D 18. G 19. B 20. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕“汽车意外坠入水中时如何生存”这一核心话题介绍了生存的关键步骤和注意事项。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Whether from flooding, bridge failure or driver error, an unexpected drop into water is a terrifying experience.(无论是因洪水、桥梁坍塌还是驾驶员失误,意外坠入水中都是一种极其可怕的经历)”以及后文“But you can survive by staying calm and acting fast.(但你若能保持冷静并迅速行动,就能安然度过难关)”可知,前句描述落水是“a terrifying experience”(恐怖的经历),后句以“But”转折,引出“但你可以通过保持冷静和快速行动来生存”。空处需要起到承上启下的作用。A项“感到害怕是很正常的”完美地承接了前文的“恐怖”,并与后文形成逻辑上的转折关系。故选A。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Do not try to open the door, as water pressure will make it impossible.(切勿试图打开这扇门,因为水压太大,会使得门无法打开)”可知,前句明确指令“切勿试图打开这扇门”,故后文需给出一个替代方案。D项“相反,你的首要任务是处理车窗”与前文形成对比和转折,并引出后文关于开车窗或破窗的详细说明。故选D。
【18题详解】
根据上文“If there are children in the car, release and help them out first, as it is far easier to get them to safety immediately than to attempt a rescue after you have got out yourself. If there are multiple kids in the car, start by helping the older ones.(如果车里有孩子,应先将他们释放并带出来,因为让他们立即安全撤离要比自己先下车再去营救他们要容易得多。如果车里有多个孩子,应先帮助年龄较大的孩子)”可知,空前“start by helping the older ones”可知,空处需要解释为什么这样做。G项“他们或许能够帮助年幼的孩子们到达安全地带”中的“They”指代前文的“the older ones”,解释了先救大孩子的原因是他们可能帮助更小的孩子,因果关系明确。故选G。
【19题详解】
根据上文“If you can’t break a window, the door becomes your last option. Don’t rely on the popular belief of waiting for the car to fill with water to equalize pressure.(如果你无法打破窗户,那么就只能依靠门作为逃生的最后手段了。切勿相信那种认为等汽车内的水充满后就能平衡压力的常见说法)”可知,上文否定了“等待车内充满水以平衡压力”这一普遍观念,空处需要紧接着解释为什么不能这么做。B项“这过程太漫长了,而且会危及你的生命”直接给出了理由。故选B。
【20题详解】
根据后文“If you don’t know the way, follow light or bubbles — they go up. As you make your way up, remain aware of potential obstacles like rocks or strong currents. After you’ve successfully escaped the car and made it to the surface, call 911 or your local emergency number to report the accident.(如果你不知道方向,那就跟随光线或气泡前行——它们都是向上移动的。在向上移动的过程中,要留意可能存在的障碍物,比如岩石或湍急的水流。在成功脱离汽车并到达水面后,拨打911或当地紧急救援电话报告事故情况)”可知,后文都在描述离开车后如何辨别方向、注意障碍物等。F项“⼀旦离开车辆,立即向上游去”是一个总起句,清晰地开启了“离开车后”这一新的行动阶段,后文的所有内容都是对此句的具体展开。故选F。

【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:由中国年轻导演陈亦诺执导的纪录片《我们之间的十年》荣获“年度最佳网络纪录片金天使奖”。“(make) by young Chinese director Chen Yinuo”作后置定语,make(制作)用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语The documentary Ten Years Between Us之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动和完成。故填made。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:《我们之间的十年》的灵感最初源于导演陈亦诺的个人经历。提示词修饰动词短语grew out of,用副词originally作状语,意为“最初”。故填originally。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这部电影记录了她与几位童年时期住在她家的“互惠生姐妹”重聚的旅程,展现了一个温暖承诺和文化交流的十年故事。“____ (live) with her family during her childhood”为限制性定语从句,修饰先行词“au pair sisters”,指人,关系词将其代入定语从句中作主语,应使用关系代词who或that引导该从句。故填who/that。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这部电影记录了她与几位童年时期住在她家的“互惠生姐妹”重聚的旅程,展现了一个温暖承诺和文化交流的十年故事。“(show) a ten-year story of a warm promise and cultural exchange”作伴随状语,show(展现)用非谓语动词形式,与其逻辑主语The film之间是主动关系,用现在分词表主动。故填showing。

考查介词。句意:中美电视节“金天使奖”被公认为一项重要的文化交流活动。be recognized as...是固定短语,意为“被认为是……,被公认为……”。故填as。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:它已成为两国人民交流的重要象征,不仅促进了影视行业的务实合作,而且让两国人民通过电影的力量相互理解和欣赏。可数名词exchange作宾语,意为“交流”,根据句意,两国人民之间的交流不止一次,用复数形式表泛指。故填exchanges。

【44题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:据报道,《我们之间的十年》已被选入“新时代,新形象”中外合拍计划。report(报道)是谓语动词,与形式主语It之间是被动关系,讲述客观事实,用一般现在时,主语是第三人称单数代词,谓语动词用单数形式;且It is reported that...是固定句型,意为“据报道……”。故填is reported。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:陈一诺说:“等待重聚的姐妹们足以支持第二季的制作,我们已经为下一个十年做了约定。”appointment(约定)是可数名词单数形式,泛指“一个约定”,且appointment发音以元音音素开头,所以用不定冠词an修饰。故填an。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给信息续写成一篇完整的短文。
Tina was a high school girl who loved comparing herself with others. She always cared about the latest clothes, expensive phones, and designer bags. Whenever someone showed off a new item, she’d feel jealous and immediately turn to her parents for something better. Having no idea how to deal with it, her parents had no choice but to satisfy her. With what she wanted on, peers would follow her, flattering her from head to toe. Tina smiled, with a barely perceived sense of emptiness.
At the beginning of the fall semester, Tina noticed a new face from another class. It’s Rita, who just transferred from a neighboring school. The girl was always alone, with simple clothes and an old schoolbag, but a smile hovered on her lips wherever she went. After school, Rita never got involved in classmates’ discussions about brands or luxuries. Instead, she herself spent most of her time in the classroom, studying or helping classmates with mathematics problems, or in the school library, doing voluntary jobs. One month later, Rita got straight As in a series of comprehensive tests and was awarded “the most popular student” in the school assembly. Her shining smile was brighter than ever, and young boys and girls began to gather around her.
One afternoon, Tina walked up to Rita, who was sitting under a tree and reading a book. “Hi, Tina. I’m Tina. What makes you so happy every day? You didn’t even have any friends.” Tina poured out her puzzles. Rita looked up with a familiar smile, “I feel every single day fruitful. I feel happy just because I’m on the way of being the one I want to be. That’s the secret.” Something hit Tina at that very moment. She turned back and headed home, without saying anything, not even goodbye. That night, Tina lay in bed and stared at the ceiling, replaying Rita’s words in her mind and lost in deep thought.
注意:

Besides self-satisfaction, Tina received plenty of praise and compliments from others.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The next day, Tina decided to make a change. She stopped asking her parents for expensive things that she actually didn’t need. She even gave away some of her unused designer bags to charity. After class, she no longer dived into discussions as she used to. Instead, she devoted herself to academic subjects in the classroom, sometimes helping others who got stuck. What’s more, she joined Rita, volunteering in the school library, sorting books and assisting younger students. Every small act made her feel a sense of fulfillment she had never experienced before.
Besides self-satisfaction, Tina received plenty of praise and compliments from others. Teachers and schoolmates admired her for being so kind and hard-working, let alone her greatly improved grades. Her parents were not only proud of her academic performance, but were also surprised to see her getting rid of unrealistic comparisons. Rita smiled sincerely at her, with her thumb up. Tina was overflowing with happiness, hardly containing her excitement. It was then that she truly understood that real happiness didn’t lie in what could be easily got from owning better items, but in what was earned with great efforts and what was done for others.
