I,A.[语篇解读]本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了“谷
雨”节气的一些习俗活动。
l.D[细节理解题。根据Key time for agriculture部分中
"It brings a marked increase in temperature and rain-
fall and the grains grow faster and stronger.(它带来了
温度和降雨量的显著增加,谷物生长得更快、更强壮。)”
可知,谷雨对农业很重要是因为它为作物生长提供了更
多的降雨。门
2.A[细节理解题。根据Eating toona sinensis部分中的
"An old Chinese saying goes,
Toona sinensis before the
rain is as tender as silk.'The vegetable is nutritious and
can help to strengthen the immune system.(中国有句古
话叫‘雨前香椿嫩如丝’。这种蔬菜营养丰富,有助于增
强免疫系统。)”可知,谷雨时节人们吃香椿是为了享受
它最好的味道。]
3.B[细节理解题。根据Grain Rain Festival部分中的
"The Grain Rain Festival is celebrated by fishing villages
in the coastal areas of northern China.Grain Rain marks
the start of the fishermen's first voyage of the year.
雨节是中国北方沿海地区的渔村庆祝的节日。谷雨标
志着渔民们一年中第一次航海的开始。)”可知,谷雨在
中国北方沿海代表捕鱼季节的到来。]
B.[语篇解读]这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Ostara
庆祝活动的特点、内容和意义。

4.A[推理判断题。根据第一段“Ostara,upon which
Easter is based,is the Pagan celebration of the vernal
equinox.(Ostara是异教徒庆祝春分的节日,复活节就
是以它为基础的。)”可以推知,Ostara比复活节历史
更久。]
5.C[推理判断题。根据第三段中“Growth and awaken
ing are important parts of Ostara celebrations..(成长和
觉醒是Ostara庆祝活动的重要组成部分。)”和“Besides,
drawings replace the pretty colors of new flowers.
外,绘画取代了新花的美丽色彩。)”可知,鲜花不是Ost
ara节日庆祝的重要组成部分。]
6.A[细节理解题。根据第四段中“Walking meditation is
a common practice and special attention is paid to the
signs of nature coming back to life.New beginnings are
coming,and there is much soul-searching and clearing a-
way negative energy.This spiritual cleaning is also reflected in
the practice of spring cleaning.(步行冥想是一种常见的
做法,特别注意大自然恢复生命的迹象。新的开始即将
到来,需要进行大量的自我反省和清除负面能量。这种
精神大扫除也体现在春季大扫除的实践中。)”可知,散
步冥想和春季大扫除相似之处是它们可以帮助净化人
们的精神。]
7.B[细节理解题。根据最后一段中“...and there'sa
reason why Pagan customs have been practiced pretty
much in the same way because so much of it is simply
human nature.(这就是为什么异教徒的习俗都以同样的
方式进行,因为这是人类的本性。)”可知,我们自己的春季
庆祝活动与许多Ostara庆祝活动有如此多的共同,点是因为
追求美好的事物是人的本性。]
Ⅱ.[语篇解读]这是一篇说明文。主要为外国人介绍了
几点中国的餐桌礼仪。
l.E[根据上句“But do you really know how to behave
properly at such an important meal?(但是你真的知道
在这么重要的聚会上如何表现得体吗?)”以及下句
"Don't worry if you are not sure,and here are some tips.
(如果你不确定,不要担心。这里有一些建议)”可知,空
格处应该是作者的进一步提问。因此E.Could you ex
plain Chinese polite table behaviors to a foreign visitor?
(你能向外国客人介绍中国的文明餐桌礼仪吗?)符合
语境。]
2.G[根据上句“In the West,everyone has their own
plate of food or elder people at the table taste every dish
first.(在西方,每个人都有自己的一盘食物,或者餐桌上
的老人先品尝每道菜。)”可知,空格处将解释中国餐桌
礼仪。与上句为转折关系,因此G,However,in China,
the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares.
(然而,在中国,菜被摆放在餐桌上,大家分享。)符合
语境。]
3.B根据上句“Don't put your chopsticks upright in the
rice bowl,(不要将你的筷子插在你的米饭碗里。)”可知,
空格处将介绍正确的方法。因此B.Instead,lay them on
your dish.(相反,将筷子放在你的盘子上。)符合语境。]
4.C[根据下句“Beggars(乞丐)are usually seen tapping
(on their bowls with chopsticks in the street,so
tapping on bowls is not polite(在街上经常看见乞丐在用
筷子敲碗,因此敲碗是不礼貌的)”可知空格处是作者的
警告。因此C.Don't tap on your bowl with your chop
sticks.(不要用筷子敲击你的碗。)符合语境。]
5.A[根据上句“Although,teenagers are not supposed to
drink any wine,you can still say 'Ganbei'and drink to
the health of your grandparents and parents.(尽管青少
年不应该饮酒,你仍旧可以说“千杯”,祝福你的长辈健
康。)”可知空格处将进一步解释这种做法的好处。因此
A,It is sure to please them,(这种做法一定会让他们高
兴。)符合语境。]

澳大利亚几个书籍订阅盒服务。

sent to you month by month”(你可以指望每月有三或六

院和表演艺术学院的研究人员目前正在进行一个有趣的
研究项目,该项目将人工智能和机器人技术与刷院相结
合,主要目标是利用人工智能创造一场戏剧表演,预计将
于今年首演。
4.D[细节理解题。根据第二段“The idea came from To
mas Studenik,who noticed the 100th anniversary of the
theater play R.U.R.is approaching.(这个想法来自托
马斯·斯图德尼克,他注意到戏剧《R.U.R.》100周年即
将到来。)”以及“Tomas thought this should be properly
celebrated and came up with the idea of turning the story
around:100 years ago,a man wrote a theater play about
robots;what if today,robots wrote a theater play about
men?(托马斯认为这应该得到适当的庆祝,并提出了扭
转故事的想法:100年前,一个人写了一部关于机器人的
戏剧;如果今天机器人写了一部关于人类的戏剧呢?)”
可知,托马斯·斯图德尼克的建议是让机器人创造一出
关于人类的戏剧。]
5.A[词义猜测题。根据第三段划线词下文“While there
are now many papers focusing on machine-produced art,
including some where computational techniques were
used to produce dialogues or story ideas for theater
plays,the automatic generation of an entire theatrical
performance is a highly complex task that has rarely been

务,以前很少有人尝试过。)”可推理出划线词的含义为
“生产,生成”。
6.C[推理判断题。根据最后一段“In the future,howev
er,they would like to produce a play that can be entirely
acted out by robots,without any human performers or
guidance.(然而,在未来,他们希望制作一部完全可以由
机器人表演的戏剧,而无需任何人类表演者或指导。)”
可推理出,未来的喜剧制作中,人类将没有必要介入。]
7.D[主旨大意题。根据第一段“Their project's main ob-
jective is to use artificial intelligence to create an theatri-
cal performance,which is expected to premiere(首次公
演)this year.(他们项目的主要目标是利用人工智能创
造一场戏剧表演,预计将于今年首演。)”、第二段“The
idea came from Tomas Studenik,who noticed the 100th
anniversary of the theater play R.U.R.is approaching.
个想法来自托马斯·斯图德尼克,他注意到戏剧《R.U.
R.》100周年即将到来。)”以及最后一段“In the future,
however,they would like to produce a play that can be
entirely acted out by robots,without any human per-
formers or guidance.(然而,在未来,他们希望制作一部
完全可以由机器人表演的戏剧,而无需任何人类表演者
或指导。)”可知,第一段提出了话题“利用人工智能创造
一场戏剧表演”,后面段落对此进行了解释,分析四个选
项,D项“Theater Play Written Totally by Machines(完
全由机器编写的戏剧)”符合语境。]
Ⅱ.[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。讲述了阅读经典文
学作品的一些方法。
l.E[本段首句“Read summaries of what the work is
about..(阅读关于该作品所讲内容的摘要。)”是主旨句,
建议要阅读作品的摘要,以便了解内容概要。上文“You
can find descriptions or summaries of classic works of lit-
erature online..(你可以在网上找到对经典文学作品的描
述或总结。)”讲述了从网上寻找这种方式,所以这里应
是提出另一种方式。E项中的also承接上文,“read the
back cover of the book to gain a basic idea of the story(
这本书后面的封皮,对故事有一个基本的了解)”是另一种
寻找内容梗概的方式。]
2.A[空处是本段主旨句。下文“Even if you struggle
with the text,it is important to stick with it.After
sticking with it for a while,the language,setting,and
characters may start to become more familiar to you.(p
使你很难理解文章,但坚持下去也是很重要的。坚持一
段时间后,语言、背景和人物可能会开始变得更熟悉。)”
讲述了开始阅读后,要能够坚持下去。由此可知,本段
主要讲述的是要坚持。A项“开始阅读并继续阅读下
去。”符合题意。]
3.F[前文“Instead,try making comments or notes in the
margins(页边空白).(相反,试着在页边空白处写下评论
或笔记。)”讲述了在阅读的时候要随时在书的空白处写
评论或笔记,下文应评价这种做法。F项“你的评论或笔
记可以帮助你提高对素材的理解。”符合题意,且F项中
的“Your comments or notes”承接上句中的“try making
comments or notes in the margins(页边空白)”,]
4.C[上文“After you finish a chapter,write a brief sum
mary of everything important that happened.(完成一章
后,对所发生的一切重要事情写一个简短的总结。)”讲
述了要对每一章写总结。C项“在不参考课文的情况下
写章节摘要。”符合题意,选项中的“your chapter summa
ries”照应上文。]
5.D[上文“After you finish reading a book,it may be
useful to learn about what others have learned from the
text.(读完一本书后,了解别人从书中学到了什么可能
会很有用。)”讲述了有必要知道别人对这本书的看法。
下文“You can read commentary and critical(批判性的)
analyses of the book online..(你可以在网上阅读关于这
本书的评论和批判性的分析。)”提出上网可以了解关于
此书的意见。D项“上网看看是否有任何关于你所读的
书的有用信息。”承上启下。]
