You can set a “Check On Me” duration from 30 minutes to over 8 hours and Sonder will use geo-location technology to track you.(如果你要去见一个陌生人或前往一个不熟悉的目的地，你可以设定一个时间，让我们定期联系你，以确保你的安全。你可以设定30分钟到8小时以上的“关注我”时长，Sonder会利用地理定位技术追踪你的位置。)”可知，Check On Me会在设定的时间查看用户的状况。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Track my journey部分“This is particularly useful when travelling alone, late at night, or in an unfamiliar environment.(这在独自出行、深夜出行或者身处陌生环境时尤其有用。)”可知，Track My Journey最适合独自出行的夜间旅客。 B On the morning of November 13, a sweet violin tune (曲调) flowed along the Qingdao seashore, combining perfectly with the ocean waves. The man playing the violin is Petar Kutin, a Bulgarian teaching music at Yew Chung International School of Qingdao. For Kutin, who has been fully trained in Western music, Chinese music holds a special attraction. He skillfully unites Chinese and Western musical elements and works with Chinese musicians to create original pieces. In one of his latest works, Kutin combines his violin with the erhu, along with the sounds of birds and frogs, creating a harmonious and moving composition. “I believe that music is an unbelievably powerful language that brings people together,” Kutin said. At Yew Chung International School of Qingdao, this philosophy comes to life. To help his students with different backgrounds overcome culture shock and quickly adapt to the Chinese environment, Kutin arranges music pieces suitable for their abilities. “When students perform together, it promotes teamwork and allows them to express both their cultural identity and individuality. Playing together builds confidence, happiness, and a sense of belonging. Music truly connects the performers,” Kutin said. Kutin also uses music to deliver meaningful messages to his students. He wrote the words of a song about frugality (节俭) together with the students, explaining what frugality means — reusing items instead of throwing them unnecessarily, avoiding waste. They turned this message into a song and then into a music video, which they play almost every week. In addition to his work at school, Kutin composes music for social causes. He has created several pieces to help people suffering from anxiety relax and find comfort. “Music is continuously developing, and musicians must keep learning to grow,” he said. With a love for creating and sharing, Kutin aims to promote deeper connections between people and cultures, contributing to a more harmonious and lively future through music. 4. What is special about Kutin’s works? A. He writes songs about Bulgarian folk tales. B. He applies nature things to music teaching. C. He combines many sound elements creatively. D. He performs Western classical pieces in a Chinese style. 5. How does Kutin like music? A. It develops students’talent. B. It bridges cultural gaps among people. C. It explains the philosophy of life. D. It removes people’s worries and struggles. 6. What do students learn via the song project mentioned in paragraph 4? A. The value of reusing resources. B. The need to keep simple lifestyles. C. The way to express themselves musically. D. The importance of original song composition. 7. What can we know about Kutin? A. His goal shifted to becoming a famous composer. B. His creations serve both education and society. C. He plans to work with more Chinese musicians. D. He values advanced teaching ideas of music. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲的是保加利亚音乐教师 Petar Kutin 在青岛任教期间，将中西音乐融合，用音乐帮助学生克服文化冲击、传递节俭等价值观，并致力于通过音乐促进不同文化之间的理解与连接。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“He skillfully unites Chinese and Western musical elements and works with Chinese musicians to create original pieces. In one of his latest works, Kutin combines his violin with the erhu, along with the sounds of birds and frogs, creating a harmonious and moving composition.(他巧妙地融合了中西方音乐元素，并与中国的音乐家合作创作出原创作品。在他最近的一部作品中，库廷将他的小提琴与二胡相结合，同时融入了鸟鸣和蛙鸣的声音，从而创作出了一首和谐动人的乐曲。)”可知，Kutin的作品创造性地将多种声音元素融合在一起。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““When students perform together, it promotes teamwork and allows them to express both their cultural identity and individuality. Playing together builds confidence, happiness, and a sense of belonging. Music truly connects the performers,” Kutin said.(他说：“当学生们一起表演时，这能促进团队合作，让他们既能表达自己的文化身份，又能展现个人特色。一起演奏能增强自信、带来快乐，并培养归属感。音乐确实能将表演者们紧密联系在一起。”)”可知，Kutin认为音乐能消除人与人之间的文化隔阂。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“He wrote the words of a song about frugality (节俭) together with the students, explaining what frugality means — reusing items instead of throwing them unnecessarily, avoiding waste.(他与学生们一起创作了一首关于节俭的歌曲，解释了节俭的含义——重复使用物品，避免不必要的丢弃，避免浪费。)”可知，在第 4 段中提到的歌曲项目让学生们学到了资源重复利用的价值。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“In addition to his work at school, Kutin composes music for social causes. He has created several pieces to help people suffering from anxiety relax and find comfort.(除了在学校的工作之外，库廷还为社会公益事业创作音乐。他创作了多首作品，旨在帮助那些患有焦虑症的人放松心情、获得慰藉。)”可知，Kutin的作品既服务于教育，也服务于社会。 C The Night of the Radishes (萝卜) is a centuries-old event held on December 23 every year in Oaxaca, Mexico, where people carve oversized radishes into scenes for a competition. The radishes grown for the competition are different from the small, thin, red and white ones that are commonly on the tables of most restaurants in Mexico. Most often, they’re not very tasty. Instead, they’re used as artists’ canvas and hand-carved into different festive scenes. There are two primary radish-carving types in the modern-day Night of the Radishes competition — traditional or free. The traditional one requires the radish works to reflect the Oaxacan culture and festivals. The free type allows entrants to carve anything they want. The tradition of carving radishes dates back to the late 19th century, when Oaxaca’s farmers would attract buyers’ attention in the Zócalo, the city’s main square, by creatively showing their seasonal produce. Oaxaca’s long-standing wood carving tradition also plays a part. At some point, local wood carvers showed interest in the big radishes on display and decided to carve them into eye-catching scenes in the hope of making an extra sale. In 1897, Oaxaca’s Municipal President, Francisco Vasconcelos, decided to make the radish-carved scene tradition official and created a competition to be held on Dec.23. Today, the radish festival’s cultural roots remain the same. Early on the morning of December 23, Oaxaca’s main square is changed into an exhibition (展览) space. Competitors begin to work on their radishes at first light. Their works will formally be judged by mid-afternoon. More than 120,000 Mexican pesos（around $ 6,000）are on the line for the best designs, which are decided by a respected judging team made up of officials, previous winners and artists, who will award the prizes at 18:00. As night draws in, competitors can carry their masterpieces back home. These radishes will be shown on mantelpieces (壁炉架) or outside homes for a few more hours before the white radish flesh begins to turn brown and soften. In 24 hours, they’ll be only good for compost (肥料), from which new radishes can grow the next year. 8. How would you describe competition radishes? A. Big and tasteless. B. Red-white and delicious. C. Round and sweet. D. Sharp and strange in shapes. 9. What played a role in starting the radish-carving tradition? A. Market public preferences. B. Long history of local wood carving. C. The city’s official food festival. D. Farmers’ need to sell cooked products. 10. What finally happens to the carved radishes after the festival? A. They are kept as long-term decorations. B. They are re-carved for next competition. C. They are eaten by the owners and visitors. D. They are used to help the next radishes grow. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Unique Mexican Cultural Festival B. How to Make Beautiful Radish Arts C. The History of Oaxaca’s Vegetable Trade D. How Mexicans Celebrate Winter Holidays 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍的是墨西哥瓦哈卡市（Oaxaca）一个有着数百年历史的独特文化节日——“萝卜之夜”（The Night of the Radishes） 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The radishes grown for the competition are different from the small, thin, red and white ones that are commonly on the tables of most restaurants in Mexico. Most often, they’re not very tasty. (用于比赛的萝卜不同于墨西哥大多数餐厅餐桌上常见的那种又小又细、红白相间的萝卜。它们通常不太好吃。)”可知，比赛用的萝卜个头大但味道寡淡。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Oaxaca’s long-standing wood carving tradition also plays a part. At some point, local wood carvers showed interest in the big radishes on display and decided to carve them into eye-catching scenes in the hope of making an extra sale. In 1897, Oaxaca’s Municipal President, Francisco Vasconcelos, decided to make the radish-carved scene tradition official and created a competition to be held on Dec.23. (Oaxaca悠久的木雕传统也起到了一定作用。某个时候，当地的木雕匠人对展台上的大萝卜产生了兴趣，决定把它们雕刻成引人注目的场景，希望能多卖一些。1897年，Oaxaca的市长Francisco Vasconcelos决定将萝卜雕刻场景的传统正式化，并创建了一个在12月23日举行的比赛。)”可知，当地悠久的木雕历史促成了萝卜雕刻这一传统的兴起。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“In 24 hours, they’ll be only good for compost (肥料), from which new radishes can grow the next year. (24小时后，它们就只能用作堆肥了，而新的萝卜可以在次年从这些堆肥中生长出来。)”可知，节日过后，被雕刻的萝卜会被用来培育新萝卜。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“The Night of the Radishes (萝卜) is a centuries-old event held on December 23 every year in Oaxaca, Mexico, where people carve oversized radishes into scenes for a competition. (“萝卜之夜”是一项有着数百年历史的活动，每年12月23日在墨西哥瓦哈卡市举行，人们将超大的萝卜雕刻成各种场景进行比赛。)”可知，本文主要介绍的是墨西哥瓦哈卡市（Oaxaca）一个有着数百年历史的独特文化节日——“萝卜之夜”（The Night of the Radishes），因此最恰当的标题是A选项“A Unique Mexican Cultural Festival (一个独特的墨西哥文化节)”。 D To visitors, Venice is a beautiful picture of historic buildings, waterways, bell towers, red roofs and a large winged lion, the symbol of the city, standing on the buildings across the city. Possibly the most famous lion is a bronze (青铜) statue standing in the Piazzetta near St. Mark’s Square, and now, researchers think the statue was made in China over 1,000 years ago. After examining a series of nine samples from the famous lion statue using a scientific method, the researchers from northern Italy’s University of Padua narrowed down the derivation of the bronze to the Yangtze River in China. This, they said, would explain why the 4-meter-long and 2.2-meter-high statue, once thought to be made locally, had a strange style. According to the researchers, although it was placed near St. Mark’s Square in the 13th century, the lion looks far more like the artwork produced in China during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) than that found in medieval Mediterranean Europe. They argue that the shape of the lion and marks left by removing its old horns (角) have certain features. “It is possible that Marco Polo’s father and uncle, during the four years they spent at the palace of Kublai Khan, a powerful ruler of China at that time, on their first journey along the Silk Road, found the lion statue and managed to ship it back to Venice in pieces,” the researchers said, adding that the visit probably took place between 1264 and 1268. The animal was actually a zhènmùshòu — a big, strong, lion-like tomb protector from the Tang Dynasty. Once the Polos sent the statue back to Italy, it was probably changed to look like the symbol of St. Mark. Local workers took off its horns and added a “wig (假发)”. “As the written information is confusingly absent (缺少), the purpose and methods behind the lion’s journey to Venice remain unclear and open to explanation. If the establishment of the ‘Lion’ was meant to send a strong political message, we can now consider it as a symbol of how connected the medieval world was,” the researchers added. 12. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “derivation” in paragraph 2? A. Application. B. Origin. C. Document. D. Evidence. 13. Why does the lion look unusual? A. It was made of special materials. B. Its size is beyond normal standards. C. It bears ancient Chinese artistic styles. D. It was designed for local religious use. 14. How was the statue changed after arriving in Venice? A. Its body size was adjusted. B. Its material was partly replaced. C. It was painted in bright colors. D. Its original shape was redesigned. 15. What can we infer about the statue’s story? A. Its origin has no room for further debate. B. Its return route is confirmed in old books. C. Its journey details still lack clear records. D. Its political meaning has been fully proved. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲的是研究者通过科学检测发现，威尼斯最著名的青铜狮子雕像实际上是1000多年前中国唐朝的镇墓兽，很可能由马可·波罗的父亲和叔叔沿丝绸之路从中国运回意大利，是中世纪世界紧密相连的象征。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“now, researchers think the statue was made in China over 1,000 years ago(如今，研究人员认为这座雕像是1000多年前在中国制造的)”和第二段“the Yangtze River in China(中国长江流域)”可知，研究人员将这尊铜像的起源范围缩小到了中国长江流域，derivation的意思是“起源”，和Origin意思相近。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“According to the researchers, although it was placed near St. Mark’s Square in the 13th century, the lion looks far more like the artwork produced in China during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) than that found in medieval Mediterranean Europe.(据研究人员介绍，尽管这座狮子雕像在13世纪被放置在圣马可广场附近，但它看起来更像是中国唐朝（公元618—907年）时期的艺术品，而非中世纪地中海欧洲的作品。)”可知，这头狮子看起来与众不同是因为它带有中国古代的艺术风格。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Once the Polos sent the statue back to Italy, it was probably changed to look like the symbol of St. Mark. Local workers took off its horns and added a “wig (假发)”.(波罗一家将雕像运回意大利后，它可能被改造成了圣马可的象征。当地工匠去掉了它的角，还给它加了一顶“假发”。)”可知，这座雕像抵达威尼斯后它的原始造型被重新设计了。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“As the written information is confusingly absent (缺少), the purpose and methods behind the lion’s journey to Venice remain unclear and open to explanation.(由于书面资料令人困惑地缺失，这头狮子来到威尼斯的目的和方式仍然不清楚，有待进一步解释。)”可知，关于这座雕像的故事，我们可以推断出它的行程细节仍缺乏清晰的记录。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A “digital footprint (足迹)” is basically your entire online presence (存在).

E 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了什么是数字足迹，并给出了管理数字足迹、打造积极线上形象的几个实用建议。 【16题详解】 前文“A “digital footprint (足迹)” is basically your entire online presence (存在). It refers to all of the information, posts, pictures, and data you put online.(“数字足迹”指的是你整个的网络存在状态。它指的是你在网上发布的所有信息、帖子、图片和数据。)”解释数字足迹就是你发到网上所有信息、动态、照片等。后文“This could be a problem, like if your boss sees improper social media posts or a thief finds your banking information.(这可能会带来问题，比如你的老板看到不当的社交媒体帖子，或者小偷获取到你的银行信息。)”讲这会带来隐患。选项G“The more information you put online, the more people can learn about you.(你在网上发布的信息越多，别人就能了解到越多关于你的事。)”承接上文网络留存信息，自然引出后文带来麻烦的弊端，逻辑顺承。 【17题详解】 空格处是本段小标题，后文“You have to know exactly what your digital footprint is to manage it well. Search for yourself on different search engines to see the overall impression you have left online.(您必须清楚自己在网络上的“数字足迹”情况，这样才能妥善管理它。在不同的搜索引擎上搜索自己，看看你在网上留下了怎样的整体印象。)”讲要清楚自己的数字足迹、在搜索引擎搜自己查看网络形象。选项A“Search for yourself online to see what comes up.(在网上搜索自己，看看能搜到什么内容。)”总起本段中心做法，和下文搜自己、整理不良信息完美呼应，为本段小标题。 【18题详解】 前文“You might find some unprofessional posts when you search for yourself.(当你搜索自己的信息时，可能会发现一些不专业的内容。)”说可能会搜到不专业的网络动态，后文“As a result, it could hurt you in your personal and professional life.(因此，这可能会对你的个人和职业生活造成影响。)”说这会损害个人与职场发展。选项B“It means that these posts can be viewed by anyone.(这意味着这些帖子可以被任何人查看。)”说明不良动态公开可见，顺理成章引出后文带来的负面影响，因果衔接。 【19题详解】 本段小标题是“Share achievements and information that you’re proud of.(分享你所取得的成就以及令你感到自豪的事情。)”，选项D“It is a great way to keep your online image professional.(这是维持专业网络形象的好方法。)”总领本段，引出下文分享个人成就、塑造良好形象的具体做法。 【20题详解】 前文“Cookies are used to track your search data for specific sites. This is supposed to make your web experience more convenient because sites will remember you. However, they could also store your personal information.(Cookie 用于追踪您在特定网站上的搜索数据。这样做旨在让您的网络使用体验更加便捷，因为网站会记住您。然而，它们也可能存储您的个人信息。)”讲缓存会留存个人隐私信息，存在隐患。选项E“So get into the habit of clearing your cookies every few months.(所以要养成每隔几个月清除浏览器缓存的习惯。)”中so表总结建议，承接缓存的弊端，引出本段清理缓存的解决办法，因此符合语境。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Holi is a joyous Hindu festival that has been celebrated in India for centuries.

Speaking at ____38____ opening of a new ancient Egypt exhibition Ramses and The Pharaohs’ Gold in London, Snow felt excited ____39____ (express) his fascination with the country, and compared its rich heritage to that of China. “History and heritage are not just beautiful, it’s like having an oil well on your land ____40____ never runs out,” he said. “It gives Egypt a huge advantage over other countries ____41____ a short history, but it’s the same to China.” “I grew up in the European culture, where we talked about kings and conquerors and dramatic stories, then, ____42____ (surround) by Chinese history, I realize that all of that is there, and more,” he said. “There are stories and objects there ____43____ (equal) fascinating to any other countries’ heritage in the world, probably better.” In an interview with CGTN earlier this year, Ahmed Youssef, CEO of the Egyptian Tourism Authority, said that he hopes the two countries ____44____ (have) great history can build their ancestral similarities and grow much ____45____ (close). 【答案】36. has become 37. programs 38. the 39. to express 40. that##which 41. with 42. surrounded 43. equally 44. having 45. closer 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲的是英国著名主持人Dan Snow对中国和埃及这两个拥有悠久历史与灿烂文化遗产的国家的高度赞赏。 【36题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：在近 25 年的广播生涯中，Dan Snow已成为英国观众熟悉的面孔和声音，他主持的节目涵盖了从秘鲁失落的马丘比丘城到第二次世界大战等各种主题，他尤其对中国感兴趣，并拍摄了多部有关中国的影片。由Over the course of a broadcasting career going back nearly 25 years可知，句子时态用现在完成时，主语Dan Snow是单数，因此空格处是has become。 【37题详解】 考查名词的复数。句意：在近 25 年的广播生涯中，Dan Snow已成为英国观众熟悉的面孔和声音，他主持的节目涵盖了从秘鲁失落的马丘比丘城到第二次世界大战等各种主题，他尤其对中国感兴趣，并拍摄了多部有关中国的影片。program是可数名词，不止一个，因此用复数。 【38题详解】 考查定冠词。句意：在伦敦一座新展出的古埃及文物展（名为《拉美西斯与法老的黄金》）的开幕式上，斯诺满怀激情地表达了他对这个国家的深深喜爱，并将埃及丰富的文化遗产与中国的进行了比较。空格处用定冠词the特指这次展览的开幕式。 【39题详解】 考查不定式。句意：在伦敦一座新展出的古埃及文物展（名为《拉美西斯与法老的黄金》）的开幕式上，斯诺满怀激情地表达了他对这个国家的深深喜爱，并将埃及丰富的文化遗产与中国的进行了比较。feel excited to do sth.是固定短语，意为“对做某事感到兴奋”，因此空格处用不定式to express。 【40题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：他说：“历史和文化遗产不仅仅是美丽的，这就好比你的土地上有一口永不枯竭的油井。”空格处引导的是限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词oil well是物，因此用关系代词that/which引导定语从句。 【41题详解】 考查介词。句意：这使埃及在那些历史较短的国家中拥有了巨大的优势，而对中国来说也是如此。此处表示“有短的历史”，因此用介词with表示“有”。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：他说：“我成长于欧洲文化环境中，在那儿我们谈论的是国王、征服者以及扣人心弦的故事。而如今置身于中国的历史之中，我意识到这一切都在这里，而且还有更多内容。”句中谓语是realize，空格处用非谓语动词，由by可知，空格处用过去分词表被动，作状语。 【43题详解】 考查副词。句意：这里的故事和物品同样具有吸引人的魅力，与世界上其他任何国家的遗产相比也不遑多让，或许甚至更胜一筹。空格处用副词equally修饰形容词fascinating，equally意为“同样地”。 【44题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在今年早些时候接受中国国际电视台（CGTN）的采访时，埃及旅游局局长Ahmed Youssef表示，他希望拥有深厚历史渊源的两国能够增进彼此之间的相似之处，并进一步拉近彼此之间的距离。句中谓语是can build，空格处用非谓语动词，countries和have之间是主谓关系，因此用现在分词表主动，作后置定语。 【45题详解】 考查比较级。句意：在今年早些时候接受中国国际电视台（CGTN）的采访时，埃及旅游局局长Ahmed Youssef表示，他希望两国拥有深厚的历史渊源能够增进彼此之间的相似之处，并进一步拉近彼此之间的距离。much修饰比较级，因此空格处是比较级closer。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，你的英国朋友Peter的学校将举办音乐节活动，他想在音乐节上表演一首中文歌曲，写信向你求助。请你给Peter回一封信，向他推荐一首中文歌曲。内容包括： （1）写信目的； （2）推荐歌曲并说明理由； （3）表达期待和祝福。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Peter, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Peter, How’s everything going?

Let me know if you need anything,” he said with a polite smile as he walked off to serve the other guests in the restaurant. My friend Laura lifted her fork to begin eating before I interrupted (打断) her, “Wait, can I take a picture for my blog?” She sighed, “Go ahead.” I took out my phone and took the picture. Then, I spent the next thirty seconds deciding on how to make a perfect post. By the time our ice cream dessert came around, I was getting ready to take my fifth picture of the night. Laura rolled her eyes. I quickly had a shot of the dessert before asking her, “Sorry, am I bothering (打扰) you by taking pictures?” “I’m not going to lie. It’s a little annoying,” she said. I put away the phone, a little bit embarrassed, and decided to just enjoy our dinner. While we chatted over dessert, her statement lingered (逗留) in the back of my mind. It wasn’t until I reached home that I really thought over the issue. Did taking pictures of my life to show someone whom I hardly spoke to make me happy? Well, I was certain that my feeling was beyond words when my post gained over twenty likes. It felt good; it felt like I won. But, what was the prize? I looked through the stream of photos that I had posted of Laura and me. Most were of our time spent at fine restaurants or the latest attractions near our city, and the brand-name gifts we bought each other on holidays. Well, when my post gained over twenty likes, it felt good. But does it really matter? 注意： （1）续写词数应为120个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I called Laura that night and first expressed my sincere sorry to her. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “How about doing something meaningful for at least the next year?” I answered. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： I called Laura that night and first expressed my sincere sorry to her. “I’m really sorry about the pictures tonight. I had a good time with you but I think it could have been better if I just didn’t take any pictures,” I admitted to her. “Don’t worry about it. It’s honestly okay,” she replied. “No, it’s not. I’ve been thinking about it all night. I don’t want social media to bother me or even bother you. I actually came up with a good idea.” “Really? What’s this big idea?” “How about doing something meaningful for at least the next year?” I answered. “Like what?” Laura inquired, her interest clearly engaged. “Let’s explore new hobbies, volunteer in our community, and spend quality time with each other without the distraction of social media.” She paused for a moment, considering the proposal. “I think that’s a fantastic idea. Let’s do it. It’s time we took control of our experiences and not let social media decide how we enjoy our time together.” I smiled and said, “Good night, Laura. Let’s start tomorrow.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在和朋友Laura吃饭时不断拍照发博客，虽然获得了很多点赞让自己很开心，但最终意识到：这种为了给几乎不交流的人展示生活而拍照的行为，并没有真正的意义。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上我给劳拉打了电话，首先向她表达了深深的歉意。”可知，第一段可描写作者对自己的行为进行了反思，并向Laura道了歉。 ②由第二段首句内容““那至少在接下来的一年里，咱们做点有意义的事怎么样？”我回答道。”可知，第二段可描写作者和Laura商定做一些有意义的事情。 2.续写线索：道歉——反思——提出计划——达成共识 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①回复：reply/respond ②提出：come up with/put forward ③考虑：consider/take into consideration 情绪类 ①抱歉：sorry/apologetic ②担忧：worry about/be concerned about 【点睛】[高分句型1] She paused for a moment, considering the proposal.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2] It’s time we took control of our experiences and not let social media decide how we enjoy our time together.

B On the morning of November 13, a sweet violin tune (曲调) flowed along the Qingdao seashore, combining perfectly with the ocean waves. The man playing the violin is Petar Kutin, a Bulgarian teaching music at Yew Chung International School of Qingdao. For Kutin, who has been fully trained in Western music, Chinese music holds a special attraction. He skillfully unites Chinese and Western musical elements and works with Chinese musicians to create original pieces. In one of his latest works, Kutin combines his violin with the erhu, along with the sounds of birds and frogs, creating a harmonious and moving composition. “I believe that music is an unbelievably powerful language that brings people together,” Kutin said. At Yew Chung International School of Qingdao, this philosophy comes to life. To help his students with different backgrounds overcome culture shock and quickly adapt to the Chinese environment, Kutin arranges music pieces suitable for their abilities. “When students perform together, it promotes teamwork and allows them to express both their cultural identity and individuality. Playing together builds confidence, happiness, and a sense of belonging. Music truly connects the performers,” Kutin said. Kutin also uses music to deliver meaningful messages to his students. He wrote the words of a song about frugality (节俭) together with the students, explaining what frugality means — reusing items instead of throwing them unnecessarily, avoiding waste. They turned this message into a song and then into a music video, which they play almost every week. In addition to his work at school, Kutin composes music for social causes. He has created several pieces to help people suffering from anxiety relax and find comfort. “Music is continuously developing, and musicians must keep learning to grow,” he said. With a love for creating and sharing, Kutin aims to promote deeper connections between people and cultures, contributing to a more harmonious and lively future through music. 4. What is special about Kutin’s works? A. He writes songs about Bulgarian folk tales. B. He applies nature things to music teaching. C. He combines many sound elements creatively. D. He performs Western classical pieces in a Chinese style. 5. How does Kutin like music? A. It develops students’talent. B. It bridges cultural gaps among people. C. It explains the philosophy of life. D. It removes people’s worries and struggles. 6. What do students learn via the song project mentioned in paragraph 4? A. The value of reusing resources. B. The need to keep simple lifestyles. C. The way to express themselves musically. D. The importance of original song composition. 7. What can we know about Kutin? A. His goal shifted to becoming a famous composer. B. His creations serve both education and society. C. He plans to work with more Chinese musicians. D. He values advanced teaching ideas of music. C The Night of the Radishes (萝卜) is a centuries-old event held on December 23 every year in Oaxaca, Mexico, where people carve oversized radishes into scenes for a competition. The radishes grown for the competition are different from the small, thin, red and white ones that are commonly on the tables of most restaurants in Mexico. Most often, they’re not very tasty. Instead, they’re used as artists’ canvas and hand-carved into different festive scenes. There are two primary radish-carving types in the modern-day Night of the Radishes competition — traditional or free. The traditional one requires the radish works to reflect the Oaxacan culture and festivals. The free type allows entrants to carve anything they want. The tradition of carving radishes dates back to the late 19th century, when Oaxaca’s farmers would attract buyers’ attention in the Zócalo, the city’s main square, by creatively showing their seasonal produce. Oaxaca’s long-standing wood carving tradition also plays a part. At some point, local wood carvers showed interest in the big radishes on display and decided to carve them into eye-catching scenes in the hope of making an extra sale. In 1897, Oaxaca’s Municipal President, Francisco Vasconcelos, decided to make the radish-carved scene tradition official and created a competition to be held on Dec.23. Today, the radish festival’s cultural roots remain the same. Early on the morning of December 23, Oaxaca’s main square is changed into an exhibition (展览) space. Competitors begin to work on their radishes at first light. Their works will formally be judged by mid-afternoon. More than 120,000 Mexican pesos（around $ 6,000）are on the line for the best designs, which are decided by a respected judging team made up of officials, previous winners and artists, who will award the prizes at 18:00. As night draws in, competitors can carry their masterpieces back home. These radishes will be shown on mantelpieces (壁炉架) or outside homes for a few more hours before the white radish flesh begins to turn brown and soften. In 24 hours, they’ll be only good for compost (肥料), from which new radishes can grow the next year. 8. How would you describe competition radishes? A. Big and tasteless. B. Red-white and delicious. C. Round and sweet. D. Sharp and strange in shapes. 9. What played a role in starting the radish-carving tradition? A. Market public preferences. B. Long history of local wood carving. C. The city’s official food festival. D. Farmers’ need to sell cooked products. 10. What finally happens to the carved radishes after the festival? A. They are kept as long-term decorations. B. They are re-carved for next competition. C. They are eaten by the owners and visitors. D. They are used to help the next radishes grow. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Unique Mexican Cultural Festival B. How to Make Beautiful Radish Arts C. The History of Oaxaca’s Vegetable Trade D. How Mexicans Celebrate Winter Holidays D To visitors, Venice is a beautiful picture of historic buildings, waterways, bell towers, red roofs and a large winged lion, the symbol of the city, standing on the buildings across the city. Possibly the most famous lion is a bronze (青铜) statue standing in the Piazzetta near St. Mark’s Square, and now, researchers think the statue was made in China over 1,000 years ago. After examining a series of nine samples from the famous lion statue using a scientific method, the researchers from northern Italy’s University of Padua narrowed down the derivation of the bronze to the Yangtze River in China. This, they said, would explain why the 4-meter-long and 2.2-meter-high statue, once thought to be made locally, had a strange style. According to the researchers, although it was placed near St. Mark’s Square in the 13th century, the lion looks far more like the artwork produced in China during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) than that found in medieval Mediterranean Europe. They argue that the shape of the lion and marks left by removing its old horns (角) have certain features. “It is possible that Marco Polo’s father and uncle, during the four years they spent at the palace of Kublai Khan, a powerful ruler of China at that time, on their first journey along the Silk Road, found the lion statue and managed to ship it back to Venice in pieces,” the researchers said, adding that the visit probably took place between 1264 and 1268. The animal was actually a zhènmùshòu — a big, strong, lion-like tomb protector from the Tang Dynasty. Once the Polos sent the statue back to Italy, it was probably changed to look like the symbol of St. Mark. Local workers took off its horns and added a “wig (假发)”. “As the written information is confusingly absent (缺少), the purpose and methods behind the lion’s journey to Venice remain unclear and open to explanation. If the establishment of the ‘Lion’ was meant to send a strong political message, we can now consider it as a symbol of how connected the medieval world was,” the researchers added. 12. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “derivation” in paragraph 2? A. Application. B. Origin. C. Document. D. Evidence. 13. Why does the lion look unusual? A. It was made of special materials. B. Its size is beyond normal standards. C. It bears ancient Chinese artistic styles. D. It was designed for local religious use. 14. How was the statue changed after arriving in Venice? A. Its body size was adjusted. B. Its material was partly replaced. C. It was painted in bright colors. D. Its original shape was redesigned. 15. What can we infer about the statue’s story? A. Its origin has no room for further debate. B. Its return route is confirmed in old books. C. Its journey details still lack clear records. D. Its political meaning has been fully proved. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A “digital footprint (足迹)” is basically your entire online presence (存在).

Let me know if you need anything,” he said with a polite smile as he walked off to serve the other guests in the restaurant. My friend Laura lifted her fork to begin eating before I interrupted (打断) her, “Wait, can I take a picture for my blog?” She sighed, “Go ahead.” I took out my phone and took the picture. Then, I spent the next thirty seconds deciding on how to make a perfect post. By the time our ice cream dessert came around, I was getting ready to take my fifth picture of the night. Laura rolled her eyes. I quickly had a shot of the dessert before asking her, “Sorry, am I bothering (打扰) you by taking pictures?” “I’m not going to lie. It’s a little annoying,” she said. I put away the phone, a little bit embarrassed, and decided to just enjoy our dinner. While we chatted over dessert, her statement lingered (逗留) in the back of my mind. It wasn’t until I reached home that I really thought over the issue. Did taking pictures of my life to show someone whom I hardly spoke to make me happy? Well, I was certain that my feeling was beyond words when my post gained over twenty likes. It felt good; it felt like I won. But, what was the prize? I looked through the stream of photos that I had posted of Laura and me. Most were of our time spent at fine restaurants or the latest attractions near our city, and the brand-name gifts we bought each other on holidays. Well, when my post gained over twenty likes, it felt good. But does it really matter? 注意： （1）续写词数应为120个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I called Laura that night and first expressed my sincere sorry to her. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “How about doing something meaningful for at least the next year?” I answered. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
