【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:在家里的电视上看篮球比赛是一回事,去看现场比赛又是另外一回事。空处需要非谓语动词作宾语补足语。them指代shows,与perform之间是被动关系,且该动作正在进行,所以用现在分词的被动形式作宾语补足语,构成“watch + 宾语 + 宾补”的结构。故选D。

A. Walking B. Having walked C. Walked D. To walk
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:穿过漆黑的森林,这群人终于在天黑前抵达了营地。此处作状语,walk(步行)用非谓语形式,与其逻辑主语the group之间是主动关系,且这一动作发生在谓语动词reached之前,应用现在分词的完成式having walked,表主动和动作已发生。
13. Small independent bookstores, _________ by large online book platforms, have closed down in recent years.

A. Which B. That C. What D. Who
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查主语从句。句意:最让观众印象深刻的是他能如此流利地说五门外语。此处为连接词引导的主语从句,从句中缺少主语,指代事物,用what引导。故选C项。
15. We need to be quiet in the library; ________ we might disturb other people who are reading.

Kevin was crazy about films and music during his childhood. When he started college, he dreamed of making films that could combine his love for storytelling and interest in music.
His biggest challenge came when he planned to make a film about a tennis player. Since no one would offer him money for a 2-hour film, Kevin and his college friends tried to make a shorter one. They bought a second-hand camera and used old things instead of expensive equipment. They even made a shelf on their own to support the camera.
Kevin and his friends worked hard, rain or shine. When filming the tennis player, they ran after him in the summer sun. If it rained and they couldn’t film outside, they hung bed sheets on the walls in empty room to set up a simple studio. This 12-minute film got much attention. The teachers and students in their college liked the music they created for it.
After that, Kevin had another idea: to make a musical film. But musicals weren’t popular in college, and many said it wouldn’t work. Instead of listening to the doubts, Kevin and his team spent weeks writing new songs and making a test video. To film the moving scenes, they fixed a smartphone on a skateboard and pushed it. The actors’ hair was blowing in the wind while they were dancing and singing. The loud voice and laughter of the team filled the air.
Their musical film was well received and won several awards at a film festival. As Kevin said, “Making films isn’t about having the best equipment or famous actors. It’s about finding new ways to tell your story. Our team is planning to make a special documentary about the environment. And I can’t wait to write music for it.”
41. How would Kevin combine his hobbies according to Paragraph 1?
A. By shooting films. B. By starting a team.
C. By going to college. D. By creating music.
42. What was the team’s biggest challenge?
A. Few partners. B. Public doubts.
C. Long working time. D. The money problem.
43. Why did Kevin’s team set up a simple studio?
A. To avoid the sun. B. To work on rainy days.
C. To get much attention. D. To follow the tennis player.
44. What can we learn from the last sentence of Paragraph 4?
A. The actors were popular. B. The students had good equipment.
C. The team enjoyed the process. D. Kevin wanted to make another film.
45. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. To See Is to Believe B. Music Is the Best Language
C. Success Comes from Honesty D. Hard Work Makes the Dream Work
【答案】41. A 42. D 43. B 44. C 45. D
【解析】

【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“If it rained and they couldn’t film outside, they hung bed sheets on the walls in empty room to set up a simple studio. (如果下雨无法在室外拍摄,他们就会在空房间的墙上挂床单,搭建一个简易工作室。)”可知,搭建简易工作室是为了在雨天能继续拍摄。故选B项。

主旨大意题。通读全文特别是第一段“Kevin was crazy about films and music during his childhood. When he started college, he dreamed of making films that could combine his love for storytelling and interest in music.(凯文童年时期痴迷于电影与音乐。上大学后,他便梦想着制作出能将自己对叙事的热爱和对音乐的兴趣融为一体的影片。)”可知,文章主要讲凯文和团队克服资金短缺、设备简陋、外界质疑等困难,凭借努力拍出的影片获得关注和奖项,最后凯文还表示要继续创作。所以这篇文章的核心是“努力成就梦想”。选项D项Hard Work Makes the Dream Work(努力铸就梦想)最贴合主旨。故选D项。

An advance in electronic publishing could make the book you are reading-seem as out-of-date as a silent film. Publishers hope to exploit (利用) the growing success of ebooks by releasing versions with added soundtracks and musical accompaniment.
The noise in the first multimedia books — released in Britain — include rain hitting a window in a Sherlock Holmes tale. Works by Oscar Wilde and Rudyard Kipling are also available. When the plot of a book reaches a climax (高潮), background music will create tension. In America, works by Shakespeare and Jane Austen have already been released with music and background noise so that, for example, readers can hear tea cups clinking in Mr Darcy’s-garden as they read Pride and Prejudice.
Supporters argue that sound effects are the next logical development for, ebooks and will add excitement for younger readers. Critics, however, will argue that the noises will ruin the simple pleasure of having the imagination stimulated by reading.,
Caroline Michel, chief executive of the literary agency PFD*, said the new generation of computer-literate readers was used to multiple sensory input. She said: “Concentration now is such that people have split computer screens where they may be watching television and replying to an email at the same time. If that’s what the market wants then we should respond to the market.”
Booktrack’s sound effects work by estimating the user’s reading speed. Each time you “turn” a page, the software reassesses where you have reached in the text and times the sounds to switch on accordingly. If the soundtrack becomes out of synch (同步), a click on any word will re-set it.
Some authors fear a soundtrack could destroy the peace and quiet of libraries and ruin the pleasure of reading. David Nicholls, author of One Day, the bestseller now released as a film, said: “This sounds like the opposite of reading. It would be a distraction. I have enough trouble reading an ebook. Because I’m constantly disturbed by emails and so I’ve given up on it for the time being.”
Stuart MacBride, the crime writer whose novel Shatter the Bones was an ebook bestseller, sells 18% of his books as electronic downloads. He said: “If I’m reading, I will do the noises in my head. I don’t need someone to tell me what crunching gravel (嘎吱响的石子) sounds like. That would annoy me.”
*PFD: Peters Fraser + Dunlop is one of the longest-established literary and talent agencles in London representing writers, broadcasters, speakers and journalists, etc.
46. The ebook soundtrack is intended to ________.
A. make readers focus on the story
B. help readers with unknown vocabulary
C. strengthen readers’ impression of characters
D. add tension when the book reaches an exciting point
47. Caroline Michel thinks that computer-literate readers ________.
A. ignore the multiple sensory input
B. focus on enjoying the pleasure of reading
C. are used to doing several things at the same time
D. consider the soundtrack’s influence on reading speed
48. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to ________.
A. the soundtrack B. the speed of reading
C. the software D. the required time
49. What is David Nicholls’ attitude towards the soundtrack?
A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Disapproving. D. Objective.
50. The text is most probably taken from ________.
A. a science textbook B. a newspaper report
C. a book review D. a personal diary
【答案】46. D 47. C 48. A 49. C 50. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了电子出版商计划推出带有音效的电子书,引发了支持和反对的不同观点。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“When the plot of a book reaches a climax (高潮), background music will create tension.(当书的情节达到高潮时,背景音乐会制造紧张气氛)”可知,电子书音效是为了在情节高潮时增加紧张感。故选D。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Concentration now is such that people have split computer screens where they may be watching television and replying to an email at the same time.(现在的注意力是这样的,人们把电脑屏幕分开,可以一边看电视一边回复电子邮件)”可知,Caroline Michel认为熟悉电脑的读者习惯同时做多件事。故选C。
【48题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段中“Booktrack’s sound effects work by estimating the user’s reading speed. Each time you “turn” a page, the software reassesses where you have reached in the text and times the sounds to switch on accordingly. If the soundtrack becomes out of synch (同步), a click on any word will re-set it.(Booktrack的音效是通过估计用户的阅读速度来工作的。每次你“翻”一页,软件都会重新评估你在文本中读到的位置,并相应地调整声音的开启时间。如果配乐不同步,点击任何一个单词都会重新设置它)”可知,it指代前文提到的“soundtrack(配乐)”。故选A。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中“This sounds like the opposite of reading. It would be a distraction. It would be a distraction. I have enough trouble reading an ebook. Because I’m constantly disturbed by emails and so I’ve given up on it for the time being.(这听起来像是阅读的反面。这会分散注意力。我读电子书已经够麻烦的了。因为我经常被电子邮件打扰,所以我暂时放弃了。)”可知,David Nicholls对配乐持反对态度。故选C。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“An advance in electronic publishing could make the book you are reading-seem as out-of-date as a silent film. Publishers hope to exploit (利用) the growing success of ebooks by releasing versions with added soundtracks and musical accompaniment.(电子出版技术的进步可能会让你正在阅读的书看起来像无声电影一样过时。出版商希望通过发行带有附加配乐和音乐伴奏的版本来利用电子书日益取得的成功)”和全文内容可知,文章讨论了电子书音效的推出及其引发的争议,符合新闻报道的特点,可能来自报纸报道。故选B。

第四部分:写作(共三节,满分40分)
第一节:阅读表达(每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
A seed expert who brought high-quality vegetable seeds to many countries, was awarded the 2019 World Food Prize. Simon Groot of the Netherlands is credited with introducing high-quality, disease-resistance vegetable seeds to more than 60 countries including the Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia.
He began his search to create better vegetable seeds to help farmers in Southeast Asia in1981. Sixteen years earlier, he had made his first trip to Indonesia. There, Groot learned that vegetable seeds which were developed for the climate of Europe, did poorly when planted in the hot tropics. He thought there was a great possibility to introduce hybrid vegetables to the area. The area lacked vegetable seed developers who were trying to create hybrids for the local climate. “I noticed the seed quality in that part of world was so much below our standards and below achievable standards. I could not stand that the farmers there did not have better seeds.”Said Groot.
At that time, farmers in Southeast Asia usually saved seeds from season to season. That was because the seeds available for sale were often old. Those seeds were usually from Europe or North America and did not grow well in their tropical climate. This meant that the farmers ended up with smaller crops, and lower quality that changed greatly from season to season. The plant also could easily become infected with diseases.
Groot partnered with seed trader Benito Domingo of the Philippines. They put together a team of seed researchers and growers from Wageninge University in the Netherlands and the University of the Philippines. Within a few years, they developed a hybrid bitter gourd (苦瓜) that sold successfully. Then they modified a tomato plant, followed by eggplants, pumpkins and leafy vegetables.
The early success led to the start of the East-West Seed Company, which now has more than 970 improved seeds of 60 vegetable crops. Over the past 40 years, the discoveries have led to the creation of a tropical vegetable seed industry aimed at small farmers. The tropical seeds are now spreading into Asia, Africa and Latin America. It is estimated that the company’s seeds are used by 20 million farmers each year in more than 60 countries.
51. Why was Groot awarded the 2019 World Food Prize ? (No more than 10 words.)
____________________________________________________________________________
52. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?(no more than 10 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
53. What made the plants not grow well in Southeast Asia in the past? (No more than 15words)
____________________________________________________________________________
54. What does the underlined word in the Paragraph 4 most probably mean?(Only 1 word)
____________________________________________________________________________
55. What do you think of Groot’s work? And give your reasons. (No more than 25 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
【答案】51. Because he brought high-quality vegetable seeds to many countries.
52. The reason for Groot to start his search.
53. The seeds available for sale were often old and unsuitable for the tropical climate.
54. Improved/Changed.
55. I think Groot’s work is meaningful because it has helped farmers and improved vegetable production and quality, contributing to global food security.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了荷兰种子专家Simon Groot因向多国推广优质蔬菜种子而获2019年世界粮食奖。
【51题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段中“A seed expert who brought high-quality vegetable seeds to many countries, was awarded the 2019 World Food Prize. Simon Groot of the Netherlands is credited with introducing high-quality, disease-resistance vegetable seeds to more than 60 countries including the Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia.(一位将优质蔬菜种子带到许多国家的种子专家获得了2019年世界粮食奖。荷兰的Simon Groot因向包括菲律宾、泰国和印度尼西亚在内的60多个国家推广优质、抗病蔬菜种子而受到赞誉)”可知,Groot获得2019年世界粮食奖是因为他将优质蔬菜种子带到了许多国家。故答案为Because he brought high-quality vegetable seeds to many countries.
【52题详解】
考查段落大意。根据第二段中“He began his search to create better vegetable seeds to help farmers in Southeast Asia in1981. Sixteen years earlier, he had made his first trip to Indonesia. There, Groot learned that vegetable seeds which were developed for the climate of Europe, did poorly when planted in the hot tropics.(1981年,他开始寻找更好的蔬菜种子来帮助东南亚的农民。十六年前,他首次踏上了前往印度尼西亚的旅程。在那里,Groot了解到,那些为欧洲气候条件而培育的蔬菜种子,在炎热的热带地区种植时表现欠佳)”以及本段剩余内容可知,本段主要讲述了Groot开始寻找更好的蔬菜种子的原因。故答案为The reason for Groot to start his search.
【53题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段中“That was because the seeds available for sale were often old. Those seeds were usually from Europe or North America and did not grow well in their tropical climate.(那是因为可供出售的种子通常都很旧。这些种子通常来自欧洲或北美,在热带气候下生长得不好)”可知,过去植物在东南亚生长不好的原因是可买到的种子通常都很旧,且这些种子通常来自欧洲或北美,不适合在热带气候下生长。故答案为The seeds available for sale were often old and unsuitable for the tropical climate.
【54题详解】
考查词义猜测。根据划线词前一句话“Within a few years, they developed a hybrid bitter gourd (苦瓜) that sold successfully.(在几年之内,他们培育出了一种杂交苦瓜,并且这种苦瓜成功上市销售)”以及“Then(然后)”及“a tomato plant, followed by eggplants, pumpkins and leafy vegetables.(一种番茄植株,接着是茄子、南瓜和绿叶蔬菜。)”可知,他们成功开发了杂交苦瓜,接着说对番茄植株做了“modified”,后面又提到茄子、南瓜和多叶蔬菜,结合语境可知是对番茄植株进行了改良,modified意思是“改变,改良”。故答案为Improved/Changed.
【55题详解】
考查开放回答。本题为开放性试题,答案不唯一,合理即可。根据文章内容可知,Groot的工作是有意义的,因为他的工作帮助了农民,提高了蔬菜产量和质量,对全球粮食安全做出了贡献。故答案为I think Groot’s work is meaningful because it has helped farmers and improved vegetable production and quality, contributing to global food security.

The third Macao International Comedy Festival is set to take place from April 9 to 12, 2026, bringing together comedians, actors, and comedy lovers from across the globe. As one of Asia’s most anticipated cultural events, the festival has grown significantly since its launch, with this year’s edition featuring an even more diverse lineup. Renowned actors Shen Teng and Ma Li, who have served as initiators since the first festival, will once again lead the event. Their involvement has been crucial in attracting top talent and raising the festival’s profile both domestically and internationally.
The festival will showcase a wide range of comedic forms, including stand-up, sketch comedy, improvisational theater, and comedy films. In addition to stage performances, the event will host workshops and panel discussions where experienced comedians share their insights into the art of making people laugh. Organizers have also introduced a new segment this year: a cross-cultural comedy exchange, inviting performers from Japan, South Korea, and several European countries to present their unique styles. This move reflects the festival’s ambition to become a global hub for comedy, fostering mutual understanding through humor.

Kevin was crazy about films and music during his childhood. When he started college, he dreamed of making films that could combine his love for storytelling and interest in music.
His biggest challenge came when he planned to make a film about a tennis player. Since no one would offer him money for a 2-hour film, Kevin and his college friends tried to make a shorter one. They bought a second-hand camera and used old things instead of expensive equipment. They even made a shelf on their own to support the camera.
Kevin and his friends worked hard, rain or shine. When filming the tennis player, they ran after him in the summer sun. If it rained and they couldn’t film outside, they hung bed sheets on the walls in empty room to set up a simple studio. This 12-minute film got much attention. The teachers and students in their college liked the music they created for it.
After that, Kevin had another idea: to make a musical film. But musicals weren’t popular in college, and many said it wouldn’t work. Instead of listening to the doubts, Kevin and his team spent weeks writing new songs and making a test video. To film the moving scenes, they fixed a smartphone on a skateboard and pushed it. The actors’ hair was blowing in the wind while they were dancing and singing. The loud voice and laughter of the team filled the air.
Their musical film was well received and won several awards at a film festival. As Kevin said, “Making films isn’t about having the best equipment or famous actors. It’s about finding new ways to tell your story. Our team is planning to make a special documentary about the environment. And I can’t wait to write music for it.”
41. How would Kevin combine his hobbies according to Paragraph 1?
A. By shooting films. B. By starting a team.

42. What was the team’s biggest challenge?
A. Few partners. B. Public doubts.
C. Long working time. D. The money problem.
43. Why did Kevin’s team set up a simple studio?

An advance in electronic publishing could make the book you are reading-seem as out-of-date as a silent film. Publishers hope to exploit (利用) the growing success of ebooks by releasing versions with added soundtracks and musical accompaniment.
The noise in the first multimedia books — released in Britain — include rain hitting a window in a Sherlock Holmes tale. Works by Oscar Wilde and Rudyard Kipling are also available. When the plot of a book reaches a climax (高潮), background music will create tension. In America, works by Shakespeare and Jane Austen have already been released with music and background noise so that, for example, readers can hear tea cups clinking in Mr Darcy’s-garden as they read Pride and Prejudice.
Supporters argue that sound effects are the next logical development for, ebooks and will add excitement for younger readers. Critics, however, will argue that the noises will ruin the simple pleasure of having the imagination stimulated by reading.,
Caroline Michel, chief executive of the literary agency PFD*, said the new generation of computer-literate readers was used to multiple sensory input. She said: “Concentration now is such that people have split computer screens where they may be watching television and replying to an email at the same time. If that’s what the market wants then we should respond to the market.”
Booktrack’s sound effects work by estimating the user’s reading speed. Each time you “turn” a page, the software reassesses where you have reached in the text and times the sounds to switch on accordingly. If the soundtrack becomes out of synch (同步), a click on any word will re-set it.
Some authors fear a soundtrack could destroy the peace and quiet of libraries and ruin the pleasure of reading. David Nicholls, author of One Day, the bestseller now released as a film, said: “This sounds like the opposite of reading. It would be a distraction. I have enough trouble reading an ebook. Because I’m constantly disturbed by emails and so I’ve given up on it for the time being.”
Stuart MacBride, the crime writer whose novel Shatter the Bones was an ebook bestseller, sells 18% of his books as electronic downloads. He said: “If I’m reading, I will do the noises in my head. I don’t need someone to tell me what crunching gravel (嘎吱响的石子) sounds like. That would annoy me.”

46. The ebook soundtrack is intended to ________.
A. make readers focus on the story
B. help readers with unknown vocabulary
C. strengthen readers’ impression of characters
D. add tension when the book reaches an exciting point
47. Caroline Michel thinks that computer-literate readers ________.
A. ignore the multiple sensory input
B. focus on enjoying the pleasure of reading
C. are used to doing several things at the same time
D. consider the soundtrack’s influence on reading speed
48. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to ________.
A. the soundtrack B. the speed of reading
C. the software D. the required time
49. What is David Nicholls’ attitude towards the soundtrack?
A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Disapproving. D. Objective.
50. The text is most probably taken from ________.
A. a science textbook B. a newspaper report

A seed expert who brought high-quality vegetable seeds to many countries, was awarded the 2019 World Food Prize. Simon Groot of the Netherlands is credited with introducing high-quality, disease-resistance vegetable seeds to more than 60 countries including the Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia.
He began his search to create better vegetable seeds to help farmers in Southeast Asia in1981. Sixteen years earlier, he had made his first trip to Indonesia. There, Groot learned that vegetable seeds which were developed for the climate of Europe, did poorly when planted in the hot tropics. He thought there was a great possibility to introduce hybrid vegetables to the area. The area lacked vegetable seed developers who were trying to create hybrids for the local climate. “I noticed the seed quality in that part of world was so much below our standards and below achievable standards. I could not stand that the farmers there did not have better seeds.”Said Groot.
At that time, farmers in Southeast Asia usually saved seeds from season to season. That was because the seeds available for sale were often old. Those seeds were usually from Europe or North America and did not grow well in their tropical climate. This meant that the farmers ended up with smaller crops, and lower quality that changed greatly from season to season. The plant also could easily become infected with diseases.
Groot partnered with seed trader Benito Domingo of the Philippines. They put together a team of seed researchers and growers from Wageninge University in the Netherlands and the University of the Philippines. Within a few years, they developed a hybrid bitter gourd (苦瓜) that sold successfully. Then they modified a tomato plant, followed by eggplants, pumpkins and leafy vegetables.
The early success led to the start of the East-West Seed Company, which now has more than 970 improved seeds of 60 vegetable crops. Over the past 40 years, the discoveries have led to the creation of a tropical vegetable seed industry aimed at small farmers. The tropical seeds are now spreading into Asia, Africa and Latin America. It is estimated that the company’s seeds are used by 20 million farmers each year in more than 60 countries.
