第一节
A
【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了澳大利亚四处兼具自然与文化价值的旅游目的地。
1.D 细节理解题。根据Budj Bim Cultural Landscape中“More than 6, 600 years ago, the Gunditjmara people built stone houses and created smart systems to farm fish. This makes it one of the oldest human settlement sites in Australia.( 大约 6600 年前Gunditjmara人建造了石屋,并建立了精妙的养鱼系统。这使其成为澳大利亚最古老的人类定居点之一,展示了原住民与土地紧密相连的生活方式。)”可知,Budj Bim Cultural Landscape的独特之处是呈现了早期人类定居和农耕文明的形态。
2.C 细节理解题。根据Gondwana Rainforests of Australia中“They are very old and have changed little since the time of dinosaurs. This area is an important subtropical (亚热带) rainforest in the world. Many rare plants grow here, including ancient trees. Visitors can join guided walks to explore the forest.( 它们非常古老,自恐龙时代以来几乎没有发生变化。该地区是世界上重要的亚热带雨林。这里生长着许多珍稀植物,包括古老的树木。游客可以参加有向导的徒步旅行来探索森林。)”可知,游客在此可以体验原始的自然环境。
3.D 细节理解题。根据Kakadu National Park中“It has been home to Aboriginal people for over 65, 000 years. It is one of the best places to learn about the world’s oldest living culture.( 这里已有超过 65000 年的历史,是原住民的家园。它是了解世界上最古老现存文化的最佳地点之一。)”可知,Kakadu National Park一个重要特点是它以悠久的地方文化而闻名。
B
【答案】4.C 5.B 6.D 7.B
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍文物修复师邱锦仙在大英博物馆修复中国古画,让珍贵文物重焕光彩,传播中华文化的故事。
4.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The large collection of Chinese paintings was mainly repaired using Japanese and British methods. As these were not suitable for Chinese paintings, many artworks were kept in storage instead of being shown to the public.(大量中国古画主要采用日本和英国的方法修复。由于这些方法不适用于中国古画,许多艺术品被封存起来,未能向公众展出。)”可知,在邱锦仙到来之前,馆内的中国古画使用的修复方法并不适合它们。故选C项。
5.B 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Chinese ancient paintings are very difficult to repair because of their large size, complex materials, and rich content. The most important thing is to understand the long history and culture behind each painting.(中国古画修复难度极大,原因在于其尺寸大、材质复杂、内容丰富。最重要的是要理解每幅画背后悠久的历史与文化。)”可知,尺寸、材质以及所需的文化知识让中国古画难以修复。故选B项。
6.D 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“She wants more people to understand and appreciate Chinese history and culture through art.(她希望更多人通过艺术了解和欣赏中国的历史与文化。)”可知,邱锦仙认为这些海外的中国艺术品值得被所有人欣赏和珍视,态度是开放的。故选D项。
7.B 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第二段中的“Joanna Kosek, head of Pictorial Art Conservation at the British Museum, told the media that Qiu is considered one of the museum’s most valuable treasures. “We let the treasure treat the treasure,” Kosek said.(大英博物馆绘画艺术品保护部门主管乔安娜·科塞克向媒体表示,邱锦仙被视为该博物馆最珍贵的藏品之一。科塞克说:“我们以珍宝护珍宝。”)”可知,文章围绕邱锦仙修复中国古画、守护文物珍宝展开,因此“邱锦仙:守护珍宝的宝藏”最适合作为标题。故选B项。
C
【答案】8.C 9.B 10.D 11.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了食物与文化的关系及不同文化的食物特色。
8.C 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Many of us connect food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. When I was sick as a kid, I couldn’t eat rice because I was too weak, so my mother would cook soup and bring it to bed for me. Now, whenever I feel tired or stressed, I remember the soup my mum used to make for me. (我们许多人都会将童年时期的食物与温暖的情感和美好的回忆联系在一起,它让我们与家人紧密相连,对我们而言具有特殊而个人化的价值。我小时候生病时,因为身体太虚弱而吃不下饭,母亲就会煮汤端到我的床边。如今,每当我感到疲惫或压力重重时,我都会想起母亲曾经为我做的那碗汤。)”可知,作者通过汤的故事想告诉我们食物在我们的生活中扮演着重要的角色。故选C。
9.B细节理解题。根据第二段中“When immigrants sell food in another country, they have to change the original dishes to satisfy a wider range of customers with different tastes and flavour (味道) preferences. (当移民在另一个国家出售食物时,他们必须改变原来的菜肴,以满足不同口味和偏好的更广泛的顾客群体。)”可知,移民餐馆在新地方会改变传统食物的口味。故选B。
10.D 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Additionally, they believe that food not only needs to be nutritious (有营养的) but also needs to look attractive, so they put a lot of effort into beautifying the dishes and making them look colourful. (此外,他们认为食物不仅需要营养,还需要看起来有吸引力,所以他们花了很多精力美化菜肴,使它们看起来色彩缤纷。)”可知,中国饮食注重营养与品相兼备。故选D。
11.A 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Later in the 20th century, the arrival of immigrants from many other foreign nations developed a rich variety in food preparation throughout the country. (20世纪后期,来自许多其他国家的移民的到来,在全国范围内发展了丰富多样的食物准备方式。)”可知,20世纪美国的食物风格是丰富的。故选A。
D
【答案】12.B 13.C 14.B 15.B
【导语】文章主要讲述了人工智能在旅行规划中日益增长的作用及现状。
12.B 推理判断题。根据第二段“The largest age group is 25-to-34-year-olds, with 18 percent looking for travel ideas through AI. That number drops to 13 percent for 18-to-24-year-olds. And only 3 percent of 55-to-64-year-olds are using AI for holiday tips.(最大的年龄组是25至34岁的人群,其中有18%的人通过人工智能寻找旅行灵感。18至24岁的人群中,这一比例降至13%。而55至64岁的人群中,只有3%的人使用人工智能来获取假期建议)”可知,第二段主要通过提供数字来展开论述,说明了不同年龄段使用人工智能寻找旅行灵感的比例。
13.C 细节理解题。根据第三段“However, AI has not taken over just yet when it comes to researching trips, as Internet searches (48 percent) and recommendations from friends and family (41 percent) still remain the most common ways to choose where to go.(然而,在研究旅行方面,人工智能还没有完全取代其他方式,因为互联网搜索(48%)和亲朋好友的建议(41%)仍然是选择目的地最常见的方式)”可知,人们计划旅行最受欢迎的方式是在互联网上搜索信息。
14.B 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“According to them, AI will greatly influence the travel industry, but travellers still want to communicate with a travel company before booking trips. Travel companies will not vanish anytime soon, because of that group of customers who think it’s necessary to go in and look someone in the eye when they’re booking something.(据他们说,人工智能将极大地影响旅游业,但旅行者在预订旅行前仍然希望与旅行社进行沟通。旅行社不会很快vanish,因为有一群顾客认为在预订东西时有必要进去与某人面对面交流)”可知,由于有些顾客认为在预订旅行时有必要与旅行社面对面交流,所以旅行社不会很快消失。因此,“vanish”在此处的意思是“消失,灭绝”,与“Die out”意思相近。
15.B 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了人工智能在旅行规划中的日益增长的作用,包括不同年龄段使用人工智能的比例、人们计划旅行的常见方式以及人工智能对旅游业的影响等。因此,文章的主旨大意是人工智能在旅行规划中日益增长的作用。
第二节
【答案】16.E 17.A 18.B 19.G 20.D

(很有可能受害者会在对方道歉之前先说 “对不起”)”可知,此处是说当被撞的人是英国人时的情况,A选项“受害者碰巧是英国人”符合语境,与上文形成对比。故选A。
18.B 根据下文“Britons don’t all change into evening dress for supper like what you may have seen in popular TV shows like Downton Abbey. But they do tend to make an effort when going out for dinner somewhere nice. Americans, however, will probably wear a casual shirt.(英国人并不都像你在《唐顿庄园》这样的流行电视节目中看到的那样,为了吃晚餐而换上晚礼服。但当他们去一个不错的地方吃晚餐时,他们确实会努力打扮一番。然而,美国人可能会穿一件休闲衬衫)”可知,此段主要讲的是英美两国人在外出就餐时的穿着情况,B选项“当你为晚餐穿衣服时”符合此段主旨,可作为小标题。故选B。
19.G 根据下文“They think the food is somehow “tainted” once they’ve touched it with a knife and fork. In the US, wrapping it up to take home is a standard practice.(他们认为一旦他们用刀叉碰过食物,食物就不知怎么地“被污染”了。在美国,把食物打包带回家是一种常见的做法)”可知,此处说的是英国人对于吃不完食物的做法。G选项“英国人不会想到把剩菜带回家”符合语境,与下文形成对比。故选G。
20.D 根据上文“Britons will give the cab driver an address, then think that’s it for the interaction until it’s time to pay. Even if they’re being taken in a roundabout (迂回的;绕远的) way (英国人会给出租车司机一个地址,然后认为在该付钱之前就只有这些交流了。即使他们被绕远路了)”以及下文“In the US, however, most passengers think nothing of telling the driver what route to take after telling him or her the destination.(然而,在美国,大多数乘客在告诉司机目的地后,会毫不犹豫地告诉司机该走哪条路线)”可知,此处说的是英国人即使被绕远路也不会说什么,D选项“他们很不太可能说什么”符合语境,与下文形成对比。故选D。

My Mid-Autumn Festival Experience
The Mid-Autumn Festival, celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, holds great significance in Chinese culture. It is a symbol of reunion and the appreciation of the full moon.
Last year, my family gathered at my grandparents' house to celebrate. We ate delicious mooncakes, and the whole family was filled with joy and laughter. In the evening, we watched the moon rise, which is a heartwarming scene.

第二节(满分25分)
【答案】Mike raised and he found the other runners running at full speed. Refusing to give up at this crucial point, Mike clenched his teeth, jumped to his feet and ran as fast as he could. Finally, he was the fourth one to dash across the finish line. Mike couldn't help sobbing at the thought of letting his sister down. But much to his surprise, the runner who collided with him was disqualified for breaking the rule and Mike won the third prize. Mike was on the top of the world and relieved during the award ceremony, holding the dictionary close to his chest.
Full of happiness, Mike went home hurriedly. He could not wait to see his sister and share the good news. On his arrival, Mike found Jane was walking about outside nervously and anxiously. "Jane, see what I have got for you." Mike said excitedly, taking the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands. The instant Jane saw the dictionary, her face lit up. So thrilled was she that she threw herself at Mike. "Thank you! Mike." Tears of joy welled up in their eyes as the brother and the sister hugged tightly together.
【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知,本文讲述了 Mike 家庭贫困,弄丢了妹妹的字典,为此 Mike 参加了城市为男孩子组织的长跑比赛,努力为妹妹赢得了一本字典,这让兄妹俩喜极而泣,拥抱在一起。段落续写:①由第一段首句内容" Mike 抬起头,看见其他跑步者全速奔跑。"可知,第一段可描写 Mike 不放弃继续前行并意外的赢得了奖项。②由第二段首句内容" Mike 满心欢喜,很快就回家了。"可知,第二段可描写 Mike 把赢得的字典带回家,妹妹欣喜若狂。写作时注意准确运用时态,上下文意思连贯,符合逻辑关系,尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式,同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。【点评】该续写承接原文,精彩地完成了故事,使整个情节完整且富有感染力。在情节上,既延续了前文 Mike 为妹妹赢字典的主线,又通过比赛中的意外和转折增加了故事的波澜,最后以兄妹团聚分享喜悦收尾,温馨圆满。在人物塑造方面,通过细腻的动作、语言和心理描写,将 Mike 的坚韧和对妹妹的爱,以及妹妹的期待和感激都展现得淋漓尽致,使人物形象跃然纸上。语言上,用词精准,语句流畅,能很好地营造出紧张、激动、温馨等不同的氛围,让读者仿佛身临其境。文中有一些好的词句,例如: But much to his surprise, the runner who collided with him was disqualified for breaking the rule and Mike won the third prize. 运用了who引导的限制性定语从句;Mike was on the top of the world and relieved during the award ceremony, holding the shoes close to his chest. 运用了现在分词作状语;So thrilled was she that she threw herself at Mike. 运用了部分倒装和so...that引导的结果状语从句。

The British Museum has a rich collection of ancient Chinese paintings that has attracted many visitors. At the center of the protection of these artworks is senior conservator (文物修复员) Qiu Jinxian.
Joanna Kosek, head of Pictorial Art Conservation at the British Museum, told the media that Qiu is considered one of the museum’s most valuable treasures. “We let the treasure treat the treasure,” Kosek said.
In 1987, Qiu was introduced to Mrs. Jessica Rawson, director of the British Museum. At that time, there were no conservators skilled in ancient Chinese art at the museum. The large collection of Chinese paintings was mainly repaired using Japanese and British methods. As these were not suitable for Chinese paintings, many artworks were kept in storage instead of being shown to the public.
Just before Christmas in 1987, Qiu had her first appointment at the British Museum. She was asked to repair an ancient scroll (卷轴) by Fu Baoshi, badly damaged by fire. Her methods, such as washing with warm water to separate the glue to repair the paper, greatly surprised everyone. Some even took out cameras to record her work, as they had never seen this way of repairing art. Mrs. Rawson was so amazed that she immediately invited Qiu to join the museum.
Chinese ancient paintings are very difficult to repair because of their large size, complex materials, and rich content. The most important thing is to understand the long history and culture behind each painting. The repair process takes a great deal of time and energy. Each painting normally takes several months from cleaning to completion. Since 1987, Qiu has repaired more than 400 artworks.
Qiu told the media that she is very proud of her work. She wants more people to understand and appreciate Chinese history and culture through art. Originally from China, these artistic treasures, restored to their former splendor, glow with timeless charm and add profound brilliance to world art.
4.What was the problem with Chinese paintings at the museum before Qiu’s arrival?
A.Most of them had been severely damaged by fire.
B.They were too large for any conservator to repair.
C.They were repaired with methods ill-suited for them.
D.No conservator had experience in any form of Asian art.
5.What makes Chinese ancient paintings difficult to repair?
A.Their paper, materials, and the use of ancient techniques.
B.Their size, materials, and the cultural knowledge required.
C.Their size, content, and the lack of conservators worldwide.
D.Their history, materials, and the need to find original colors.
6.What is Qiu’s attitude toward Chinese artworks being kept abroad?
A.Indifferent, caring only about the technical repair work.
B.Conflicted, believing they should be returned to China.
C.Critical, questioning the museum’s way of keeping them.
D.Open, for they deserve to be admired and cherished by all.
7.What is the best title for the text?
A.Ancient Chinese Paintings: Hard to Restore
B.Qiu Jinxian: The Treasure Protecting Treasures
C.East Meets West: Different Conservation Methods
D.The British Museum: Home to the World’s Finest Art
C
We grow up eating the food of our cultures. It becomes a part of who each of us is. Many of us connect food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. When I was sick as a kid, I couldn’t eat rice because I was too weak, so my mother would cook soup and bring it to bed for me. Now, whenever I feel tired or stressed, I remember the soup my mum used to make for me.
Food is an important part of culture. Immigrants (移民) bring the food of their countries with them wherever they go and cooking traditional food is a way of keeping their culture when they move to new places. Many open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. When immigrants sell food in another country, they have to change the original dishes to satisfy a wider range of customers with different tastes and flavour (味道) preferences. Changes to original dishes can create new flavours that still have the cultural significance of the dish.
In China, harmony is an important character in almost every side of life. This is mirrored in Chinese food, where almost every flavour is used in a balanced way creating delicious dishes with flavours that go well together. Additionally, they believe that food not only needs to be nutritious (有营养的) but also needs to look attractive, so they put a lot of effort into beautifying the dishes and making them look colourful.
The food of the United States mirrors its history. The European colonisation (殖民) of the Americas introduced European ingredients (原料) and cooking styles to the US. Later in the 20th century, the arrival of immigrants from many other foreign nations developed a rich variety in food preparation throughout the country.
As the world becomes more globalised, it is easier to have food from different cultures. We should hug our heritage through our culture’s food, but we should also know about other cultures by trying their food.

(25-26高一下·湖北·期中)AI has made its way into almost every field, and according to Abta’s latest Holiday Habits report, the travel industry is no exception. The rate of people using AI to get some travel ideas has doubled in the past 12 months, up to 8 percent from 4 percent.
The survey of 2,001 people also showed that younger generations are leading the way in using AI. The largest age group is 25-to-34-year-olds, with 18 percent looking for travel ideas through AI. That number drops to 13 percent for 18-to-24-year-olds. And only 3 percent of 55-to-64-year-olds are using AI for holiday tips.
However, AI has not taken over just yet when it comes to researching trips, as Internet searches (48 percent) and recommendations from friends and family (41 percent) still remain the most common ways to choose where to go. In fact, people taking more traditional routes, such as looking through holiday brochures, still take up 25 percent.
Abta says that AI will continue to grow when it comes to trip planning. Holidaymakers have already shown a level of trust in AI for making travel decisions. 43 percent people in the survey said they would be confident to some degree in letting an AI tool plan their holiday, with this number dropping to just 38 percent letting the tool book their trip for them.
Travel industry leaders state that AI will continue to be a big part of what customers do before they make a travel decision. According to them, AI will greatly influence the travel industry, but travellers still want to communicate with a travel company before booking trips. Travel companies will not vanish anytime soon, because of that group of customers who think it’s necessary to go in and look someone in the eye when they’re booking something.
12.How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?
A.By giving examples. B.By providing figures.
C.By making comparisons. D.By explaining causes.
13.What is the most popular way for people to plan their trips?
A.Turning to AI for travel ideas.
B.Turning to friends and family for advice.
C.Searching for information on the Internet.
D.Reading through printed holiday brochures.
14.What does the underlined word “vanish” in the last paragraph most probably mean?
A.Come into being. B.Die out.
C.Take up. D.Show up.
15.What is the text mainly about?
A.AI’s fast development in modern technology.
B.AI’s growing part in travel planning.
C.Young people’s strong preference for new technology.
D.Difficulties traditional travel companies are facing.
