C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述科学家研发新技术，让Thomas通过他人身体感受感觉，引发对技术应用的思考。 【5题详解】 句意：托马斯说他一开始有一种不寻常的感觉，但很快就习惯了。 “unusual feeling”为可数名词单数，且“unusual”以元音音素开头，应用不定冠词“an”修饰。 【6题详解】 句意：再次拥有感觉是多么有趣啊！ 根据感叹句结构“What+不可数名词+主语+谓语!”以及空后“fun”在此处作为名词性概念，表示“乐趣”，且此处“fun”为不可数名词，应用“What”引导感叹句，强调“乐趣”这一名词。 【7题详解】 句意：在广泛使用这项技术之前，必须仔细考虑这个问题。 “used”为动词，应用副词修饰。“widely”为副词，意为“广泛地”，符合。 【8题详解】 句意：有一天，人类甚至可能以一种我们从未想象过的方式远距离分享体验。 根据固定短语“be able to do sth.”意为“能够做某事”，可知此处应用动词不定式“to share”。 III.

Choose the best answer. (选择最恰当的答案。) (2分*5=10分) It was nine o’clock on a Friday morning. I, Dr. James Sheppard, had just returned from the house of Mrs Ferrars, a rich widow (寡妇) in our small village. She had died during the night, and I could only believe that she had taken too many sleeping pills by accident. The air outside felt cool, as if autumn had arrived early. I opened the front door with my key, hung my hat and coat on the hook (挂钩), and stood quietly in the hall for a moment. A strange feeling came over me, as if something terrible was about to happen. From the dining room, I heard the sound of cups and plates. My sister Caroline was already at breakfast. “Is that you, James?” she called. Her voice was sharp and curious, as if she already knew some secret. I sat down and picked up a piece of toast. “Mrs Ferrars is dead,” I told her. “I think it was an accident with her medicine.” Caroline shook her head quickly. “No, she killed herself. She was carrying a terrible secret for a long time. Everyone in the village says so.” She leaned forward, her eyes bright with excitement. “Don’t you remember how her husband died suddenly last year? People believed she was responsible. Last night, she wrote a letter to Roger Ackroyd. She was going to tell him everything.” Roger Ackroyd was one of the richest and most respected (受尊敬的) men in the village, and he had been very close to Mrs Ferrars. I listened in silence, feeling more and more worried. Caroline’s words made my heart heavy. I did not want to believe such dark stories, but deep down, I knew that our peaceful village would never be the same again. A great storm was coming. 22. James felt ________ when he came back home. A. relaxed and hopeful B. impatient and angry C. cheerful and surprised D. strange and worried 23. Roger Ackroyd was ________. A. a rich and respected man in the village B. James and Caroline’s brother C. one of James’ patients D. a complete stranger to the village 24. What did Caroline think of Mrs. Ferrars’ death? A. It was just an accident. B.

A. she was happy that James was back home B. she had just had a nice breakfast with toast C. she wanted to know about the secret behind the death D. she was worried that James might give others sleeping pills 26. What does the underlined sentence “A great storm was coming.” mean? A. A heavy rain and a terrible storm would come soon. B. A terrible event might break out in the village. C. James and Caroline would argue with each other. D. The village would soon face a natural disaster. 【答案】22. D 23. A 24. B 25. C 26. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了医生James从富有的寡妇Ferrars夫人的死亡现场回家后，从妹妹口中得知村庄流传的秘密，预感平静的村庄将发生变故的故事。 【22题详解】 文章第2段“A strange feeling came over me, as if something terrible was about to happen.”以及第6段“I listened in silence, feeling more and more worried.”表明James既感到奇怪又感到担忧。 【23题详解】 文章第6段“Roger Ackroyd was one of the richest and most respected men in the village”表明Roger Ackroyd是村里最富有、最受尊敬的人之一。 【24题详解】 文章第5段“Caroline shook her head quickly. ‘No, she killed herself.’”表明Caroline认为Ferrars夫人是自杀的。 【25题详解】 文章第3段“Her voice was sharp and curious, as if she already knew some secret.”以及第5段“Caroline shook her head quickly...She leaned forward, her eyes bright with excitement.”表明Caroline因急于了解死亡背后的秘密而眼睛发亮。 【26题详解】 前文铺垫了死亡、秘密、自杀传闻，这里的“storm”是比喻，象征即将爆发的丑闻事件、调查或危机。B项“村里可能发生可怕的事件”最符合隐喻含义。 C. Choose the best answer to complete the passage. (选择最恰当的答案完成短文。) (2分*6=12分) The “lipstick effect” is an interesting economic phenomenon (现象). During economic downturns, people buy fewer expensive things, such as cars or houses. They stop spending much money on costly products. However, they still buy small, cheap but nice things like lipsticks, skin care products, and small beauty items. These small luxuries (奢侈品) make them feel happy and confident ____27____ costing too much. Economists first found this trend in the 1930s during the Great Depression (经济大萧条时期). At that time, many people had little money and lived a hard life. But ____28____, sales of cosmetics and small beauty products went up. People could not pay for expensive things, so they chose something cheaper to keep a good mood and ____29____ their everyday life. In recent years, this trend has become very common. Because of economic ____30____, many families choose “downgraded consumption (消费降级).” They cut down on big costs but still enjoy small, affordable purchases (可承受的购买). A lipstick costing around 200 yuan brings great ____31____, maybe greater than a smartphone priced 8,000—9,000 yuan. For example, from March 1 to 5 this year, sales of show tickets rose by 60%, compared to last year. Many shops and companies have noticed this change. They make more cheap but nice products and tell customers that these items offer good value. During difficult economic times, cosmetics usually sell well, while sales of luxuries drop quickly. The lipstick effect shows ____32____ people change their spending habits in a smart way. It reflects a balance between financial practicality (实用性) and the human need for enjoyment and self-expression. 27. A. by B. after C. since D. without 28. A. totally B. surprisingly C. hopefully D. seriously 29. A. improve B. imagine C. complete D. waste 30. A. growth B. development C. uncertainty D. failure 31. A. fashion B. pleasure C. sales D. interest 32. A. what B. when C. how D. where 【答案】27. D 28. B 29. A 30. C 31. B 32. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了经济学中的“口红效应”，说明经济下行时人们减少大额消费，转而购买廉价小物来获得愉悦感的现象。 【27题详解】 句意：这些小小的奢侈品能让他们感到快乐和自信，而不用花太多钱。 根据上文，“small, cheap but nice things”表明物品价格实惠，此处表示“不用花太多钱”，应用without“没有”。 【28题详解】 句意：但令人惊讶的是，化妆品和小型美容产品的销量却上升了。 根据上文，“many people had little money and lived a hard life”表明人们没钱，生活艰难，但是美容产品的销量上升了，这是出人意料的情况，应用surprisingly“令人惊讶地”。 【29题详解】 句意：人们买不起昂贵的东西，所以他们选择更便宜的东西来保持好心情，改善生活。 前文提到“keep a good mood”，说明这些小物件能让人们开心，让生活变得更好，应用improve“改善”。imagine“想象”、complete“完成”以及waste“浪费”均不符合语境。 【30题详解】 句意：由于经济不确定性，许多家庭选择“消费降级”。 后文提到“downgraded consumption (消费降级)”，说明经济形势不稳定，“economic uncertainty”是标准术语，指前景不明导致消费保守，应用uncertainty“不确定性”。 【31题详解】 句意：一支约200元的口红能带来巨大的愉悦感，可能比一部售价8000至9000元的智能手机带来的还多。 前文提到这些小物能让他们开心，此处与“happy”呼应，应用pleasure“愉悦，快乐”。 【32题详解】 句意：“口红效应”展示了人们如何以一种明智的方式改变他们的消费习惯。 show后接宾语从句，空处为方式状语，用how引导。what引导名词性从句，表“什么的事物/东西”；when表时间，where表地点，均不符合语法逻辑。 D. Read and answer the questions. (阅读短文并回答下列问题。) (共14分，其中56题1分，57题5分) The Qingming Scroll (清明上河图), painted by Zhang Zeduan (张择端) in the Northern Song dynasty, is a world-famous Chinese artwork. Painted on a 5-metre-long silk scroll, it shows life in Bianjing (today’s Kaifeng), the capital of the Northern Song dynasty in the 12th century. Now it is kept in the Palace Museum in Beijing; this scroll has survived through time and become a national treasure. The scroll has three main parts. The first part shows a quiet rural scene near Bianjing, with farmers working in the fields. The second part presents the busy Bian River and the central bridge, where boats come and go, and people walk through the city gate. The third part describes the lively city life, with people from all walks of life—butchers, hairdressers, officials—doing their daily work. Together, these parts let us see the real life of Bianjing’s people. Zhang used ink on silk to create realistic scenery, buildings and people. His precise brushwork and great skill in showing details make the scroll amazing. You can study it for hours and always find new things. The painting also reveals 12th-century Chinese customs, clothing and business practices. While it looks peaceful at first, some details show social and political problems and reflect the decline of the Northern Song dynasty. Today, the original scroll is very delicate and seldom shown to the public. But people’s love for it never fades. It not only shows high artistic value but also helps us understand ancient Chinese life, making it a lasting gift to Chinese art and future artists. 33.

I, Dr. James Sheppard, had just returned from the house of Mrs Ferrars, a rich widow (寡妇) in our small village. She had died during the night, and I could only believe that she had taken too many sleeping pills by accident. The air outside felt cool, as if autumn had arrived early. I opened the front door with my key, hung my hat and coat on the hook (挂钩), and stood quietly in the hall for a moment. A strange feeling came over me, as if something terrible was about to happen.

(阅读短文并回答下列问题。) (共14分，其中56题1分，57题5分) The Qingming Scroll (清明上河图), painted by Zhang Zeduan (张择端) in the Northern Song dynasty, is a world-famous Chinese artwork. Painted on a 5-metre-long silk scroll, it shows life in Bianjing (today’s Kaifeng), the capital of the Northern Song dynasty in the 12th century. Now it is kept in the Palace Museum in Beijing; this scroll has survived through time and become a national treasure. The scroll has three main parts. The first part shows a quiet rural scene near Bianjing, with farmers working in the fields. The second part presents the busy Bian River and the central bridge, where boats come and go, and people walk through the city gate. The third part describes the lively city life, with people from all walks of life—butchers, hairdressers, officials—doing their daily work. Together, these parts let us see the real life of Bianjing’s people. Zhang used ink on silk to create realistic scenery, buildings and people. His precise brushwork and great skill in showing details make the scroll amazing. You can study it for hours and always find new things. The painting also reveals 12th-century Chinese customs, clothing and business practices. While it looks peaceful at first, some details show social and political problems and reflect the decline of the Northern Song dynasty. Today, the original scroll is very delicate and seldom shown to the public. But people’s love for it never fades. It not only shows high artistic value but also helps us understand ancient Chinese life, making it a lasting gift to Chinese art and future artists. 33.
