【1题详解】
句意:人类历史充满了惊人的发现,比起看电影,我更喜欢读关于发明家的故事,因为书籍能提供更多细节。prefer doing sth. to doing sth.意为“比起做某事,更喜欢做另一件事”,符合此处“偏好阅读发明家故事” 的语境。
【2题详解】

【6题详解】
句意:试想一下,就为了剪个头发还要扛一袋大米!
此处用不定式表目的,“为了做某事”用to do结构,to get符合语法;got为过去式、getting为动名词,均不能表目的。
【7题详解】
句意:它们很容易用绳子串起来。
固定搭配:be easy to do sth.(做某事很容易),要用不定式to carry;carry原形、carrying动名词形式不符合固定用法。
【8题详解】

Visitor: It looks very dark and dirty. I can hardly see the woman’s face.
Guide: That’s due to centuries of smoke and dirt. But we have a new tool. Have you ever heard it before?
Visitor: ___16___. (一般疑问句的简单回答) You are cleaning this 400-year-old oil painting by using a special laser machine. I saw it on the news. It looks like magic.
Guide: It is an exact science. The laser cleans the dirt without touching the paint below.
Visitor: That’s amazing. ___17___ without the laser machine in the past? (对方法提问)
Guide: In the past, restorers cleaned the dirt by using strong chemicals and cotton swabs. It was dangerous because the chemicals could easily melt the old paint and destroy the painting.
Visitor: I see. Now, look at that screen. You are using X-rays to scan the painting, ___18___? (改为附加疑问句)
Guide: Yes. We use X-rays to scan the painting because we think the artist painted over an earlier drawing.
Visitor: A hidden painting! That changes everything. ___19___, (根据偏好提问) the traditional one or the laser one?
Guide: I prefer the laser restoration, of course. It is safer and more precise.
Visitor: Will the value of the painting increase?
Guide: Yes, the value of the painting will increase significantly. Discovering a hidden layer makes it historically more important and expensive.
Visitor: That’s great news for the museum. ___20___? (对时间长度提问)
Guide: The whole process will take time. We cannot rush it. One mistake could cost millions of dollars.
【答案】16. Yes, I have
17. How did people clean the paintings
18. aren’t you
19. Which kind of restoration do you prefer
20. How long will the whole process take

【导语】本文主要介绍了导游和游客在博物馆修复实验室,围绕利用X光、激光等新技术修复古老名贵油画展开交流,二人一步步探讨修复方式、新旧技术差异、检测手段、技术偏好与修复时长等内容。
【16题详解】
游客针对导游询问是否听说过新型修复工具,做出一般疑问句的肯定简单回答,贴合后文游客提及在新闻见过激光机器的内容,故用Yes, I have衔接下文。
【17题详解】
游客了解激光修复的优势后,针对过去的修复方法进行提问,结合语境与要求,用How did people clean the paintings引出导游对传统化学试剂修复方式的介绍。
【18题详解】
游客看到工作人员用X光扫描画作,需要改写为附加疑问句,前半句为肯定陈述句,主语一致,因此用aren’t you完成句式转换,衔接导游的肯定答复。
【19题详解】
导游说完两种修复技术后,游客结合语境针对技术偏好进行选择提问,衔接导游的个人倾向回答,故填写Which kind of restoration do you prefer。
【20题详解】
二人讨论完画作价值后,游客按照要求对修复全程的时间长度进行提问,贴合导游回应工期、不可急于求成的内容,因此用How long will the whole process take收尾对话。

【导语】本文是一篇应用文,主要介绍了开普敦今年的两项艺术活动:Kids Art Night at Food Plenty 和 High School Art Show,包括活动时间、地点、参与对象、费用及相关特色信息。
【21题详解】
High School Art Show部分指出:“Open: Mon-Fri, 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.”,说明高中艺术展开放时间为周一至周五上午9点到下午5点。
【22题详解】
Kids Art Night at Food Plenty部分指出:“Price: ¥30 for the first child, ¥25 for each more child.”,说明第一个孩子收费30元,额外的每个孩子收费25元。3个孩子的费用为:30 + 25 + 25 = 80元,因此总费用为¥80。
【23题详解】
High School Art Show部分指出:“Time: Dec 18-Feb.28”,说明展览从12月18日持续到次年2月28日,时长超过两个月,超过一个月。

Time to Rewrite “Hiss-tory”?
— The Art of Animation: Gary’s Story
Movies are a great form of art. They use stories to help us face our fears. But for me, one fear is hard to forget. How do you feel when you think of snakes? Their long, thin bodies and glassy eyes often make people panic. I still remember a trip to the zoo. Behind the glass, I saw a white, red-eyed snake trying to catch a mouse for lunch. It was so scary that I ran out.
Because of this, I was nervous about the movie Zootopia 2. This film features Gary, the first snake in Zootopia. In the trailer (预告片), as soon as Gary appears, the audience quickly runs away in fear. He is known as a “bad guy” around the city. This sequel (续集) shows Gary’s journey to set things right, which means he wants to prove that not all snakes are bad.
Why do people have such a strong dislike for snakes? For centuries, snakes have been described as frightening creatures in many stories. Most people consider them dangerous and cold-blooded. But is this always the fact? Sometimes, traditional stories can easily hide the truth. We should treat every animal in a fair way, because each one has a different side that we may not know.
Scientists say our fear may be inborn—we are born with it. Interestingly, my daughters love watching movies about snakes. They are excited for Zootopia 2. Through the art of film, they might understand my fear. At the same time, I am trying to reconsider how I see these animals. Can Gary change our hearts?
27. In the first paragraph, the underlined word “panic” is closest in meaning to “feel ________”.
A. excited B. relaxed C. scared D. angry
28. What does Gary want to prove in Zootopia 2?
A. Snakes are always dangerous. B. He is the bravest snake.
C. Snakes are becoming popular. D. Some snakes can be good.
29. What has caused people to dislike snakes over a long period of time?
A. Stories that describe snakes as scary animals. B. Personal experiences with snake bites.
C. Scientific research on snake behavior. D. Movies like Zootopia 2.
30. According to the text, which of the following is TRUE about Gary?
A. He is a famous hero in Zootopia. B. He is afraid of the audience.
C. He is the first snake in Zootopia. D. He wants to catch the mouse.
31. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Snakes being frightening in stories. B. People’s strong dislike for snakes.
C. Snakes being dangerous and cold-blooded. D. Traditional stories hiding the truth.
32. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The author’s daughters share his fear of snakes.
B. Art and film are helping the author change his view on snakes.
C. Scientists have proven that fear of snakes is inborn.
D. The author believes Gary will fail to change hearts.
【答案】27. C 28. D 29. A 30. C 31. C 32. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者对蛇的恐惧,以及电影《疯狂动物城2》中蛇角色加里的故事,探讨了人们对蛇产生厌恶的原因,同时提及电影艺术可能改变人们对蛇的固有看法。
【27题详解】
第一段指出语境:“It was so scary that I ran out”,说明蛇的外形让作者感到害怕,因此划线词“panic”与“scared”意思最接近。
【28题详解】
第二段说明加里的诉求:“This sequel shows Gary’s journey to set things right, which means he wants to prove that not all snakes are bad”,即他想证明有些蛇可以是善良的。
【29题详解】
第三段说明长期原因:“For centuries, snakes have been described as frightening creatures in many stories”,可知是将蛇描述为可怕生物的故事导致人们长期厌恶蛇。
【30题详解】
第二段明确信息:“This film features Gary, the first snake in Zootopia”,说明加里是《疯狂动物城》中出现的第一条蛇。
【31题详解】
第三段指代前文:前文“Most people consider them dangerous and cold-blooded.”提出大多数人认为它们危险又冷血,因此“this”指代“蛇危险且冷血(这一特点)”。
【32题详解】
最后一段表明:通过电影艺术,女儿理解作者的恐惧,作者也在重新看待蛇这类动物,由此推断艺术和电影正在帮助作者改变对蛇的看法。

【解析】
【导语】本文讲述纽约研究人员研发出可“烹饪”的3D激光食物打印机,介绍其工作原理、实用价值、未来发展前景及价格预期,畅想“数字厨师”走进家庭厨房的愿景。
【33题详解】
句意:为了展示其工作原理,该团队成功打印出了一片芝士蛋糕。
根据前文“展示工作原理”的目的,结合后文对打印成品的描述,可知应是“成功做到”,manage to do sth.表示“成功做某事”,符合语境。refuse“拒绝”、fail“失败”与目的相悖;happen“碰巧”无逻辑关联,故排除。
【34题详解】
句意:令人惊讶的是,它实际上并不含有任何真正的奶酪!
前文提到“蛋糕由七种食材制成”,后文转折说明“无真正奶酪”,这种反差会让人意外,surprisingly“令人惊讶地”符合语境。especially“尤其”表强调、fortunately“幸运地”表褒义、frequently“频繁地”表频率,均与上下文逻辑不符,故排除。
【35题详解】
句意:首席工程师解释说,他们选择芝士蛋糕的形状是因为它具有分层结构。
后文“分层结构”是前文“选择该形状”的原因,需用表因果关系的连词because“因为”。although“尽管”表让步、unless“除非”表条件、so“所以”表结果,均不符合“解释原因”的语境,故排除。
【36题详解】
句意:因此,它降低了细菌传播的风险。
前文“机器人制作食物减少人际接触”是原因,后文“降低传播风险”是结果,需用表因果承接的therefore“因此”。however“然而”表转折、otherwise“否则”表假设、instead“反而”表替代,均逻辑不通,故排除。
【37题详解】
句意:这让食物对他们来说看起来更有吸引力。
前文提到“打印机可将软质食物做成真正饭菜的样子”,对于吞咽困难的人来说,这样的食物会更具吸引力,attractive“有吸引力的”符合语境。common“普通的”、special“特别的”未体现“外观带来的优势”;technical“技术的”与食物属性无关,故排除。
【38题详解】
句意:3D食物打印健康吗?
后文提到“很多加工食品营养不足”,并讨论3D打印食品的营养控制问题,可知此处是围绕“健康性”提问,healthy“健康的”符合语境。popular“受欢迎的”、expensive“昂贵的”、dangerous“危险的”均未呼应后文“营养”相关话题,故排除。
【39题详解】
句意:但可能有一个积极的方面。
前文指出3D打印仍会制作加工食品(存在营养不足的潜在问题),后文转折说明“能帮助人们控制饮食、获取合适营养”,这是正面优势,positive“积极的”符合语境。wrong“错误的”、strange“奇怪的”、clear“清晰的”均与“优势”语义不符,故排除。
【40题详解】
句意:乔纳森相信,“数字厨师”终有一天会出现在我们的厨房里。
后文提到“预计五年后”的情况,说明这是未来的愿景,one day“终有一天”可表示对未来的预期,符合语境。ever since“自从”表过去持续到现在、right away“立刻”表即时发生、just now“刚才”表过去,均与“未来”的时间逻辑不符,故排除。
【41题详解】
句意:他预计大约五年后,这些机器的售价将低于1000美元。
此处表示“机器可购买到,且价格在该区间”,available“可获得的;可购买的”符合语境。useful“有用的”、ready“准备好的”、famous“著名的”均不涉及“价格与购买可行性”,故排除。
【42题详解】
句意:未来,你家里可能会有自己的私人机器人厨师,它会像空气炸锅一样常见!
前文畅想机器人厨师走进家庭,结合“实用且有助于家庭”的描述,可知是希望它变得普及,common“常见的;普遍的”符合语境。special“特别的”与“普及”语义相悖;cheap“便宜的”前文已提及价格,此处侧重“普及度”;difficult“困难的”与“实用 helpful”逻辑矛盾,故排除。

Beyond the Canvas: The Artist in the Garden
Even if you have never seen his paintings, you have probably heard his name: Claude Monet. This famous French painter changed the world of art. But did you know that Monet was also a great gardener?
Monet loved the countryside. When he lived in his first home, he planted many flowers. He enjoyed drawing them again and again. In his works, he showed how the weather and the time of day changed the colours of his garden. By watching nature carefully, Monet tried to catch the changing light on his canvas (画布).
In 1883, Monet moved to a small town called Giverny. He lived there for the rest of his life. At this new home, Monet created another beautiful garden. It was his main inspiration (灵感) for his later paintings. He arranged the plants by colour and height. He even hired a team of gardeners to help him. Every day, no matter if it was sunny or rainy, he walked through the garden to check his flowers.
In 1893, Monet started a new project: a water garden. He made a pond and grew many plants around it. The surface of the water was covered with waterlilies (睡莲). Monet loved how the reflections (倒影) on the water changed all the time. He asked his gardeners to keep the pond very clean so that the water stayed clear.
The water garden became the focus of Monet’s art for his last 25 years. He created more than 250 paintings of his pond. Today, these paintings are in museums around the world. They continue to amaze art lovers of all ages.

Time to Rewrite “Hiss-tory”?
— The Art of Animation: Gary’s Story
Movies are a great form of art. They use stories to help us face our fears. But for me, one fear is hard to forget. How do you feel when you think of snakes? Their long, thin bodies and glassy eyes often make people panic. I still remember a trip to the zoo. Behind the glass, I saw a white, red-eyed snake trying to catch a mouse for lunch. It was so scary that I ran out.
Because of this, I was nervous about the movie Zootopia 2. This film features Gary, the first snake in Zootopia. In the trailer (预告片), as soon as Gary appears, the audience quickly runs away in fear. He is known as a “bad guy” around the city. This sequel (续集) shows Gary’s journey to set things right, which means he wants to prove that not all snakes are bad.
Why do people have such a strong dislike for snakes? For centuries, snakes have been described as frightening creatures in many stories. Most people consider them dangerous and cold-blooded. But is this always the fact? Sometimes, traditional stories can easily hide the truth. We should treat every animal in a fair way, because each one has a different side that we may not know.
Scientists say our fear may be inborn—we are born with it. Interestingly, my daughters love watching movies about snakes. They are excited for Zootopia 2. Through the art of film, they might understand my fear. At the same time, I am trying to reconsider how I see these animals. Can Gary change our hearts?
27. In the first paragraph, the underlined word “panic” is closest in meaning to “feel ________”.
A. excited B. relaxed C. scared D. angry
28. What does Gary want to prove in Zootopia 2?
A. Snakes are always dangerous. B. He is the bravest snake.
C. Snakes are becoming popular. D. Some snakes can be good.
29. What has caused people to dislike snakes over a long period of time?
A. Stories that describe snakes as scary animals. B. Personal experiences with snake bites.
C. Scientific research on snake behavior. D. Movies like Zootopia 2.
30. According to the text, which of the following is TRUE about Gary?
A. He is a famous hero in Zootopia. B. He is afraid of the audience.
C. He is the first snake in Zootopia. D. He wants to catch the mouse.
31. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Snakes being frightening in stories. B. People’s strong dislike for snakes.
C. Snakes being dangerous and cold-blooded. D. Traditional stories hiding the truth.
32. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The author’s daughters share his fear of snakes.
B. Art and film are helping the author change his view on snakes.
C. Scientists have proven that fear of snakes is inborn.
D. The author believes Gary will fail to change hearts.
C. Choose the best answer and complete the passage(选择最恰当的选项完成短文)(共10分)
The digital chef
Researchers in New York have built a 3D printer that can “cook”. While most 3D food printers in the past used raw ingredients, this new machine uses a laser to brown the food. To show how it works, the team ____33____ to print a slice of cheesecake.
The “cake” was made from seven different ingredients. ____34____, it didn’t actually contain any real cheese! The lead engineer explained that they chose the cheesecake shape ____35____ it has a layered structure. The printer can easily put the ingredients on top of each other little by little.

Also, for people who have trouble swallowing (吞咽), the printer can make soft food look like a real meal. This makes the food look much more ____37____ to them.
Is 3D food printing ____38____? Cooper says we already have a big problem: many processed foods do not have enough nutrition. 3D food printing will still make processed foods, but there may be one ____39____ side. It can help some people better control what they eat and get the nutrition that is right for them.
Jonathan believes that “digital chefs” will be in our kitchens ____40____. He expects that in about five years, these machines will be ____41____ for less than $1,000. In the future, you might have your own personal robot chef at home, and it will be as ____42____ as an air fryer! That would be really cool and helpful for families.

Beyond the Canvas: The Artist in the Garden
Even if you have never seen his paintings, you have probably heard his name: Claude Monet. This famous French painter changed the world of art. But did you know that Monet was also a great gardener?
Monet loved the countryside. When he lived in his first home, he planted many flowers. He enjoyed drawing them again and again. In his works, he showed how the weather and the time of day changed the colours of his garden. By watching nature carefully, Monet tried to catch the changing light on his canvas (画布).
In 1883, Monet moved to a small town called Giverny. He lived there for the rest of his life. At this new home, Monet created another beautiful garden. It was his main inspiration (灵感) for his later paintings. He arranged the plants by colour and height. He even hired a team of gardeners to help him. Every day, no matter if it was sunny or rainy, he walked through the garden to check his flowers.
In 1893, Monet started a new project: a water garden. He made a pond and grew many plants around it. The surface of the water was covered with waterlilies (睡莲). Monet loved how the reflections (倒影) on the water changed all the time. He asked his gardeners to keep the pond very clean so that the water stayed clear.
The water garden became the focus of Monet’s art for his last 25 years. He created more than 250 paintings of his pond. Today, these paintings are in museums around the world. They continue to amaze art lovers of all ages.
