Back then we only had a TV channel with limited programs. One of the programs was about learning calligraphy. I was engaged and spent several years learning different calligraphy scripts (笔迹) in the Urdu language. After graduation, I came to Dubai, UAE. Falling in love with the architecture and high-rise buildings, I wanted to shoot the amazing beauty from different angles. So I bought a camera and learned photography, joined photography groups and attended workshops. However, after a few years, I got bored of photographing landscapes and cityscapes. Seven years ago, while going through the photography blogs and looking through others’ works, I read the term called“light painting”, a photography technique that allows you to draw in space. I started experimenting with that and soon it hit me: why not bring back my passion for calligraphy using light painting technique? Since that day, I’ve been drawing light calligraphy.To achieve the best results, I decided to build the lights myself. The best part about my work is that they are not beautified digitally. I prefer getting the results directly from the camera. I don’t even turn over the images. To achieve that, I have to write in reverse (倒置) and that took a lot of practice to get it right. Currently, I’m working on the idea of bringing abandoned places back to life, including buildings which have lost their charm and are hidden in darkness. Through my photography, I try to employ light calligraphy by writing a word that attaches a deep meaning to those places and telling stories behind them. In this way, I hope people will revisit these places and appreciate the real reason for their construction. 4. What can be inferred from the author’s experience in Quetta? A. He put great effort into learning calligraphy. B. He grew bored with limited media programs. C. He was masterfully trained by TV experts. D. He created various scripts for the local TV shows. 5. What made the author interested in taking pictures in Dubai? A. The stories hidden in old buildings. B. The works of famous photographers. C. The visual appeal of city architecture. D. The unique landscape of the desert town. 6. How did the author achieve his best results in light calligraphy? A. By learning from others. B. By sticking to the original. C. By drawing in open space. D. By beautifying his photos. 7. What is the author’s role in practising his current idea? A. A traveler recording his personal journey. B. A photographer protecting dark areas. C. A researcher exploring building history. D. An artist giving life to forgotten places. C Scientists have found a way to decode (解码) a stream of words in the brain using MRI scans and artificial intelligence. The system reconstructs the main point of what a person hears or imagines, rather than trying to copy each word, a team reports. “It’s getting at the ideas behind the words, the meaning,” says Alexander Huth, an author of the study. Previous efforts to decode language have relied on sensors placed directly on the surface of the brain. The sensors detect signals in areas involved in expressing words. But the Texas team’s approach is an attempt to “decode more free-form thought,” says Marcel Just, a professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University. The new study came about as part of an effort to understand how the brain processes language. Researchers had three people spend up to 16 hours each in a functional MRI scanner, which detects signs of activity across the brain. Participants wore headphones that streamed audio from the Internet. Those streams of words produced activity all over the brain, not just in areas associated with speech and language. After participants listened to hours of stories in the scanner, the MRI data was sent to a computer. It learned to match specific patterns of brain activity with certain streams of words. Then came a paraphrased version of what a participant heard. The MRI approach is currently slower and less accurate than an experimental communication system being developed for paralyzed people, where people get a sheet of electrical sensors implanted directly on the surface of the brain. With an MRI-based system, no one has to get surgery. But future versions of MRI scans could raise moral questions. “What if you can read out the word that somebody is just thinking in their head? That’s potentially a harmful thing.” Huth says. This technology can’t really read minds uncontrollably, though. It only works when a participant is actively cooperating with scientists. Still, systems that decode language could someday support people who are unable to speak because of a brain injury or disease. They are also assisting scientists in understanding how the brain processes words and thoughts. 8. What is the focus of the Texas team’s decoding approach? A. Reconstructing the general meaning. B. Enhancing sensor accuracy. C. Tracking every single word. D. Improving brain surgical skills. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The impact of long-term scanning. B. The process of brain-data decoding. C. The selection of participants. D. The source of audio materials. 10. What can be implied about MRI scans from the last paragraph? A. They are potentially harmful to life. B. They are helpful to treat brain disease. C. They are a double-edged sword. D. They deserve thorough research. 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Decoder That Can Read Your Mind B. A Decoder That Can Convey Meaning C. MRI Scanner: Still a Long Way to Go D. MRI Scanner: Bridge Message Gap D “Sorry, I’m just now seeing your email!” (You sent it 15 minutes ago.) “Sorry that you completely misinterpreted that thing I said.” “Sorry you just crashed into me with your grocery-store cart.” “Sorry” has become commonplace in daily conversations and communications. We drop it indiscriminately for all manner of things we really shouldn’t be sorry for. Is it time to stop? “I wasn’t really that sorry,” admits Louise Julig, a freelance writer in Encinitas, Calif., who found she was constantly apologizing for the “delay” when replying to notes, even when there wasn’t much of a delay at all. “Sorry has lost its meaning, no longer a heartfelt declaration of regret but just a subconscious response,” said Louise Julig. Now, faced with a blank email, Ms. Julig asks herself, did I miss something, or mess someone else up? If the answer is no, she’s not sorry. I understand very well how she feels. When I searched my sent emails for the phrase, “Sorry for the delay,” the result was too many hits for Gmail to give me an exact count. I tried, in the course of reporting this column, to cut back on my apologies. Mostly I failed, catching myself exclaiming (大声说) sorry! I apologized to the person I contacted for this piece when I called three minutes later than I was supposed to; then I apologized for only being able to meet him on the day I suggested, instead of his; I even apologized in advance for any offence I might cause to him during the conversation. While apologizing too much in daily life may not have serious consequences, doing so in business, especially when you’ve actually done something wrong, is just asking for trouble — you’re giving away your power, says Jeffrey Pfeiffer, a professor of organizational behavior at Stanford Graduate School of Business. People are never satisfied with an apology, he adds. Exhibiting vulnerability (脆弱) only makes you look weak. Standing your ground comes with risks. You might not be liked. But he thinks it is worthwhile. “You can either give in to what people want you to be, or you can decide that you are going to risk offending people. Life is about trade-offs (权衡),” he says. 12. What habit did Louise Julig realize she had? A. Her words caused unnecessary trouble. B. She was misunderstood by her readers. C. Her apologies became mostly automatic. D. She should delay her email responses. 13. What does the author find difficult? A. Counting his sent emails correctly. B. Finding reasons for his mistakes. C. Meeting people within a limited time. D. Changing his habit of over-apologizing. 14. What is Jeffrey Pfeiffer’s view on business apologies? A. They may weaken one’s power. B. They should be heartfelt and sincere. C. They help build trust between parties. D. They are necessary to satisfy customers. 15. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Being satisfied with oneself. B. Sticking to one’s own position. C. Making an apology to others. D. Showing one’s own weakness. 第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Strategies for a Healthier Digital Life Life in the digital world can be rewarding.

I was engaged and spent several years learning different calligraphy scripts (笔迹) in the Urdu language. After graduation, I came to Dubai, UAE. Falling in love with the architecture and high-rise buildings, I wanted to shoot the amazing beauty from different angles. So I bought a camera and learned photography, joined photography groups and attended workshops. However, after a few years, I got bored of photographing landscapes and cityscapes. Seven years ago, while going through the photography blogs and looking through others’ works, I read the term called“light painting”, a photography technique that allows you to draw in space. I started experimenting with that and soon it hit me: why not bring back my passion for calligraphy using light painting technique? Since that day, I’ve been drawing light calligraphy.To achieve the best results, I decided to build the lights myself. The best part about my work is that they are not beautified digitally. I prefer getting the results directly from the camera. I don’t even turn over the images. To achieve that, I have to write in reverse (倒置) and that took a lot of practice to get it right. Currently, I’m working on the idea of bringing abandoned places back to life, including buildings which have lost their charm and are hidden in darkness. Through my photography, I try to employ light calligraphy by writing a word that attaches a deep meaning to those places and telling stories behind them. In this way, I hope people will revisit these places and appreciate the real reason for their construction. 4. What can be inferred from the author’s experience in Quetta? A. He put great effort into learning calligraphy. B. He grew bored with limited media programs. C. He was masterfully trained by TV experts. D. He created various scripts for the local TV shows. 5. What made the author interested in taking pictures in Dubai? A. The stories hidden in old buildings. B. The works of famous photographers. C. The visual appeal of city architecture. D. The unique landscape of the desert town. 6. How did the author achieve his best results in light calligraphy? A. By learning from others. B. By sticking to the original. C. By drawing in open space. D. By beautifying his photos. 7. What is the author’s role in practising his current idea? A. A traveler recording his personal journey. B. A photographer protecting dark areas. C. A researcher exploring building history. D. An artist giving life to forgotten places. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者从学习书法到运用光绘摄影技术创作，最终通过光绘文字为废弃建筑赋予新生命的故事，展现了他用艺术为遗忘之地带来希望的热情。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“ I was engaged and spent several years learning different calligraphy scripts (笔迹) in the Urdu language.(我全神贯注，花了数年时间学习乌尔都语的不同书法字体)”可知，作者在童年时期对书法投入了极大的热情和努力。选项A“He put great effort into learning calligraphy.(他在学习书法上付出了巨大的努力)”符合题意。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Falling in love with the architecture and high-rise buildings, I wanted to shoot the amazing beauty from different angles. (爱上了这里的建筑和摩天大楼，我想从不同的角度拍摄它们惊人的美)”可知，正是迪拜城市建筑的视觉吸引力让作者对摄影产生了兴趣。选项C“The visual appeal of city architecture.(城市建筑的视觉吸引力)”与原文符合题意。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“The best part about my work is that they are not beautified digitally. I prefer getting the results directly from the camera.(我作品最棒的部分在于它们没有经过数字美化。我更喜欢直接从相机获取结果)”可知，作者追求原汁原味的拍摄效果，不进行后期的数字修饰。选项B“By sticking to the original.(通过坚持原版/原貌)”符合题意。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Currently, I’m working on the idea of bringing abandoned places back to life, including buildings which have lost their charm and are hidden in darkness. Through my photography, I try to employ light calligraphy by writing a word that attaches a deep meaning to those places and telling stories behind them.(目前，我正致力于让废弃之地焕发生机，包括那些失去魅力、隐没于黑暗中的建筑。通过我的摄影作品，我尝试运用光绘书法，书写能为这些地方赋予深刻意义的文字，并讲述它们背后的故事。)”可知，作者现在的角色是通过艺术创作（光绘书法）赋予被遗忘的废弃建筑新的生命力。选项D“An artist giving life to forgotten places.(一个赋予被遗忘之地生命的艺术家)”符合作者当前的身份和追求。 C Scientists have found a way to decode (解码) a stream of words in the brain using MRI scans and artificial intelligence. The system reconstructs the main point of what a person hears or imagines, rather than trying to copy each word, a team reports. “It’s getting at the ideas behind the words, the meaning,” says Alexander Huth, an author of the study. Previous efforts to decode language have relied on sensors placed directly on the surface of the brain. The sensors detect signals in areas involved in expressing words. But the Texas team’s approach is an attempt to “decode more free-form thought,” says Marcel Just, a professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University. The new study came about as part of an effort to understand how the brain processes language. Researchers had three people spend up to 16 hours each in a functional MRI scanner, which detects signs of activity across the brain. Participants wore headphones that streamed audio from the Internet. Those streams of words produced activity all over the brain, not just in areas associated with speech and language. After participants listened to hours of stories in the scanner, the MRI data was sent to a computer. It learned to match specific patterns of brain activity with certain streams of words. Then came a paraphrased version of what a participant heard. The MRI approach is currently slower and less accurate than an experimental communication system being developed for paralyzed people, where people get a sheet of electrical sensors implanted directly on the surface of the brain. With an MRI-based system, no one has to get surgery. But future versions of MRI scans could raise moral questions. “What if you can read out the word that somebody is just thinking in their head? That’s potentially a harmful thing.” Huth says. This technology can’t really read minds uncontrollably, though. It only works when a participant is actively cooperating with scientists. Still, systems that decode language could someday support people who are unable to speak because of a brain injury or disease. They are also assisting scientists in understanding how the brain processes words and thoughts. 8. What is the focus of the Texas team’s decoding approach? A. Reconstructing the general meaning. B. Enhancing sensor accuracy. C. Tracking every single word. D. Improving brain surgical skills. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The impact of long-term scanning. B. The process of brain-data decoding. C. The selection of participants. D. The source of audio materials. 10. What can be implied about MRI scans from the last paragraph? A. They are potentially harmful to life. B. They are helpful to treat brain disease. C. They are a double-edged sword. D. They deserve thorough research. 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Decoder That Can Read Your Mind B. A Decoder That Can Convey Meaning C. MRI Scanner: Still a Long Way to Go D. MRI Scanner: Bridge Message Gap 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了科学家利用核磁共振扫描与AI研发大脑语言解码系统，可还原人脑海中的核心想法，讲解了实验流程、优劣及技术带来的伦理与应用两面性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The system reconstructs the main point of what a person hears or imagines, rather than trying to copy each word (该系统能够重建一个人所听到或想象内容的核心要点，而无需逐字复制每个词语)”与第二段“decode more free-form thought (解码更自由的思维)”可知，德州团队的解码技术重点还原人的核心想法、整体含义，而非逐个单词。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。第三段先说明研究初衷，再完整介绍实验流程：受试者长时间进入核磁共振扫描仪收听音频，设备捕捉脑部活动信号，计算机匹配脑活动模式与语言内容，最终还原受试者听到内容的转述版本。由此可知，本段围绕大脑数据解码的完整实验过程展开。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But future versions of MRI scans could raise moral questions. (但未来的核磁共振扫描技术可能会引发道德问题)”以及“Still, systems that decode language could someday support people who are unable to speak because of a brain injury or disease. They are also assisting scientists in understanding how the brain processes words and thoughts. (尽管如此，未来能够解码语言的系统或许可以辅助因脑损伤或疾病而无法说话的人。同时，这些系统也帮助科学家更好地理解大脑如何处理语言和思想)”可知，技术利弊共存，是双刃剑。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。第一段介绍了科学家研发结合MRI扫描与人工智能的大脑语言解码器，核心作用是还原人思绪的主旨而非逐字复制单词；第二段对比过往脑部植入传感器的解码手段，说明该方案能解读更自由的思维；第三段完整介绍了这套解码系统的实验实施流程；第四段对比植入式设备，指出核磁方案无需脑部手术，但速度、精准度尚有不足；第五段提出该技术存在隐私伦理隐患，同时可帮助脑损伤失语人群，也能推动人类对大脑语言运作机制的研究。由此可知，全文核心论述这套新型大脑解码器，核心特色是抓取、传递人内心思想含义。因此，“A Decoder That Can Convey Meaning (能够传递思想含义的解码器)”最适合作为文章标题。 D “Sorry, I’m just now seeing your email!” (You sent it 15 minutes ago.) “Sorry that you completely misinterpreted that thing I said.” “Sorry you just crashed into me with your grocery-store cart.” “Sorry” has become commonplace in daily conversations and communications. We drop it indiscriminately for all manner of things we really shouldn’t be sorry for. Is it time to stop? “I wasn’t really that sorry,” admits Louise Julig, a freelance writer in Encinitas, Calif., who found she was constantly apologizing for the “delay” when replying to notes, even when there wasn’t much of a delay at all. “Sorry has lost its meaning, no longer a heartfelt declaration of regret but just a subconscious response,” said Louise Julig. Now, faced with a blank email, Ms. Julig asks herself, did I miss something, or mess someone else up? If the answer is no, she’s not sorry. I understand very well how she feels. When I searched my sent emails for the phrase, “Sorry for the delay,” the result was too many hits for Gmail to give me an exact count. I tried, in the course of reporting this column, to cut back on my apologies. Mostly I failed, catching myself exclaiming (大声说) sorry! I apologized to the person I contacted for this piece when I called three minutes later than I was supposed to; then I apologized for only being able to meet him on the day I suggested, instead of his; I even apologized in advance for any offence I might cause to him during the conversation. While apologizing too much in daily life may not have serious consequences, doing so in business, especially when you’ve actually done something wrong, is just asking for trouble — you’re giving away your power, says Jeffrey Pfeiffer, a professor of organizational behavior at Stanford Graduate School of Business. People are never satisfied with an apology, he adds. Exhibiting vulnerability (脆弱) only makes you look weak. Standing your ground comes with risks. You might not be liked. But he thinks it is worthwhile. “You can either give in to what people want you to be, or you can decide that you are going to risk offending people. Life is about trade-offs (权衡),” he says. 12. What habit did Louise Julig realize she had? A. Her words caused unnecessary trouble. B. She was misunderstood by her readers. C. Her apologies became mostly automatic. D. She should delay her email responses. 13. What does the author find difficult? A. Counting his sent emails correctly. B. Finding reasons for his mistakes. C. Meeting people within a limited time. D. Changing his habit of over-apologizing. 14. What is Jeffrey Pfeiffer’s view on business apologies? A. They may weaken one’s power. B. They should be heartfelt and sincere. C. They help build trust between parties. D. They are necessary to satisfy customers. 15. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Being satisfied with oneself. B. Sticking to one’s own position. C. Making an apology to others. D. Showing one’s own weakness. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了如今人们道歉太多，形成了一种习惯的问题，作者结合路易丝·朱丽和自身的经历说明了这一问题，指出道歉应当适当运用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Sorry has lost its meaning, no longer a heartfelt declaration of regret but just a subconscious response(抱歉已经失去了它的意义，不再是一种发自内心的悔意表达，而仅仅是一种潜意识的反应)”可知，路易丝·尤利格意识到她的道歉变得几乎成了本能。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“I tried, in the course of reporting this column, to cut back on my apologies. Mostly I failed, catching myself exclaiming (大声说) sorry!(在撰写这篇专栏的过程中，我本想减少道歉的次数，但大多都失败了，发现自己还在不停地喊“对不起”！)”可知，作者觉得改变自己总是过度道歉的习惯很难。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“While apologizing too much in daily life may not have serious consequences, doing so in business, especially when you’ve actually done something wrong, is just asking for trouble — you’ re giving away your power, says Jeffrey Pfeiffer, a professor of organizational behavior at Stanford Graduate School of Business.(斯坦福商学院组织行为学教授杰弗里·费弗表示，虽然在日常生活中道歉过多可能不会带来严重后果，但在商业场合，尤其是当你确实做错了事时，这样做只会招来麻烦——你正在丧失自己的影响力)”可知，杰弗里·费弗对商业道歉的看法是可能会削弱一个人的力量。 【15题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Standing your ground comes with risks. You might not be liked.(固守立场是有风险的，你可能不会被喜欢)”可知，此处it指代上文“Standing your ground”。故划线词指的是“坚持自己的立场”。 第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Strategies for a Healthier Digital Life Life in the digital world can be rewarding.

E 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讨论了如何在数字生活中保持健康，提出了培养爱好、加强社交、练习正念和设定目标等策略，以帮助人们实现数字排毒，提升幸福感。 【16题详解】 上文“It connects us with others, provides endless knowledge, and offers entertainment.(数字生活能让我们与他人建立联系，提供无尽的知识，并提供娱乐。)”列举了数字世界带来的诸多好处；下文“The feeling of being constantly ‘on’ has driven people to reconsider their balance. This has led many to try digital detoxing ( 排毒).(持续‘在线’的感觉促使人们重新考虑自己在数字世界中的平衡,这导致许多人尝试进行数字排毒。)”解释了为什么人们需要“数字排毒”。C选项“However, it can also be exhausting.(然而，它也会让人精疲力竭。)”通过转折词“However”引出数字生活的负面影响，与前文构成转折，同时该选项中的“exhausting”与后文的“on”形成呼应，持续在线的感觉让人精疲力竭，该选项符合语境。 【17题详解】 此空为段落小标题。根据该段内容“Thus, finding enjoyable hobbies that result in play can be crucial. People engaging in play for its own sake can reduce stress levels and boost digital well-being.(因此，寻找能带来乐趣的爱好至关重要。人们纯粹为了玩乐而参与，可以降低压力水平并提升数字幸福感。)”可知，本段的核心建议是鼓励人们为了纯粹的快乐去玩耍。B选项“Learn to play for pure joy.(学会为了纯粹的快乐而玩耍)”精准概括了该段主旨，且符合小标题的祈使句结构。 【18题详解】 上文“Therefore, during a digital detox, it is vital to fill your cup with community.(因此，在数字排毒期间，用社群来充实自己是至关重要的。)”强调了在数字排毒时建立社群联系的重要性。F选项“This can be done through existing or new friendships.(这可以通过现有的或新的友谊来实现。)”中的代词“This”指代前文提到的“fill your cup with community”，并且“friendships(友谊)”是对“community(社群)”的具体化说明，符合语境。 【19题详解】 上文“Yet, the ability to just be can allow time for reflection.(然而，仅仅独处的能力可以留出反思的时间。)”强调了独处和反思的价值。G选项“It helps you consider what makes you happy and healthy.(它帮助你思考什么让你感到快乐和健康。)”中的“It”指代前文的“reflection(反思)”，进一步解释了反思的具体作用，即思考什么能带来快乐和健康，与下文“Find moments where you can step away to recharge(找时间抽身去充电)”在逻辑上顺承，符合语境。 【20题详解】 该段段旨“Set appropriate goals.(设定适当的目标。)”指出要设定适当的目标。后文“We recommend identifying specific goals for yourself related to your own digital well-being.(我们建议为你自己设定与数字健康相关的具体目标。)”说明空处应是一句引出“设定目标”重要性的背景铺垫。E选项“Willpower alone can’t beat smartphone reliance.(仅靠意志力无法克服对智能手机的依赖。)”指出了人们面临的困境即仅靠意志力无法克服对智能手机的依赖，因此需要设定具体目标，该选项符合题意。 第三部分语言知识运用(共四节，满分55分) 第一节完形填空(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和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 “That’s really cool.” A mid-thirties woman sat across from me, when I held out the delicate crane (鹤) towards her.

(根据中英文提示单词拼写) 【答案】sought##ought 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个焦急的女孩沿着昨天购物后走过的街道寻找她珍贵的手表。根据首字母s和中文提示“寻找”，应用动词seek，句子时间状语是yesterday，描述过去发生的动作，谓语动词需要用一般过去式，因此变形为sought。 45.

For 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了爱丁堡城堡的历史、文化意义及现代活动，强调其作为苏格兰传统象征，为游客提供历史与传统的独特体验。 【51题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：爱丁堡城堡矗立在一座古老的火山顶上，几个世纪以来一直俯瞰着爱丁堡市。句中已有谓语动词stands，此处应填非谓语动词。逻辑主语Edinburgh Castle与watch之间为主动关系，表示伴随状态，故填现在分词watching。 【52题详解】 考查冠词。句意：作为世界上最著名的城堡之一，它提供了一次与过去独特的对话。chat在此处作可数名词，表示“一次交谈/对话”，且unique的发音以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a。 【53题详解】 考查形容词。句意：关于这座城堡最早的数据可以追溯到12世纪。根据句意及后面的dates back to the 12th century可知，此处表示“最早的”，应使用early的最高级形式earliest，且最高级前需加定冠词the。 【54题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：多年来，它曾作为皇家住所、军事基地和监狱。根据时间状语Over the years可知，句子强调从过去一直持续到现在的动作或状态对现在造成的影响，应用现在完成时。主语it为单数，助动词用has，故用has served。 【55题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：如今，这座城堡是苏格兰文化的象征，也是一本等待着被探索的故事集。固定搭配wait to do sth.意为“等待做某事”，逻辑主语stories与动词explore之间是被动关系，故填不定式的被动形式to be explored。 【56题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：在里面，大厅仍然作为一个举办活动的场所发挥作用。设空处引导定语从句，先行词是place，从句events are held结构完整，且表示“在这个场所举办活动”，故填关系副词where。 【57题详解】 考查名词。句意：通过互动展示，游客可以以一种个人的方式与过去建立联系。display在此处作可数名词，意为“展示”，此处泛指各种互动展示，故使用复数形式displays作宾语。 【58题详解】 考查名词。句意：来自世界各地的人们加入了这场庆祝活动，享受这种氛围和传统表演。设空处作join的宾语，应使用celebrate的名词形式celebration。 【59题详解】 考查连词。句意：无论你是亲自体验还是在线观看表演，爱丁堡城堡都提供了一段进入历史和传统世界的旅程。句中构成固定短语whether... or...意为“无论……还是……”。 【60题详解】 考查介词。句意：对许多人来说，这次参观不仅是一次旅行，更是一个珍视塑造我们认同感的传统的机会。此处表示“对许多人来说”应使用介词for，表示“对……来说”，且该空位于句首需大写首字母，应用For。 第四节句子翻译(共5 小题；每题2分，满分10分) 61. 他盯着结果，心如石沉水，意识到所有努力都白费了。 He stared at the result, his heart sinking like a stone in water, ________________. 【答案】 realizing that all his efforts were in vain/and realized that all his efforts had been wasted 【解析】 【详解】主句已经有谓语动词stared，若不加并列连词，设空处需用非谓语作伴随状语；主句主语He和“意识到”realize是主动关系，因此用realize的现在分词形式realizing，后接宾语从句说明意识到的内容，“努力白费”最常用的译法是one’s efforts be in vain，从句成分和意义都完整，用that引导，呼应主语he，one’s用his，句子陈述过去的事实，用一般过去时，从句主语是复数，be动词用were。如果补充并列连词and，realize应变为过去式realized，和stared构成并列谓语，“努力白费”可用one’s efforts be wasted；结合主句的一般过去时语境，“努力白费”发生在“意识到”之前，也可以用过去完成时had been wasted，从句同样用that引导。 62. 他挠了挠头，一个字也听不懂。 He scratched his head, ________________ 【答案】 not understanding a single word/ and he couldn’t understand a single word 【解析】 【详解】逗号前主句已有谓语动词scratched，无并列连词时空格需填非谓语：逻辑主语是主句的He，和“听懂”understand是主动关系，因此用现在分词形式；否定词not加在现在分词前，“一个字”用a single word。若加并列连词and，则“一个字也听不懂”处理为一个完整的句子，主语是he，谓语“听不懂”用couldn’t understand，宾语同样是a single word。 63. 泪水模糊了视线，她努力抑制住即将将自己淹没的沮丧。 ________________, and she struggled to fight back the depression that threatened to overwhelm her. 【答案】 Tears blurred her eyes / Tears blurred her vision 【解析】 【详解】and连接两个并列的句子，因此“模糊了视线”应翻译为一个完整的句子；主语“泪水”译为名词tears，作主语，置于句首，首字母大写；谓语“模糊（视线）”常用动词blur，呼应struggled用过去式blurred，宾语“视线”可译为her eyes/her vision。 64. 他避开他人的目光，强烈的尴尬感让他说不出话来。 He ________________, a strong feeling of embarrassment ________________. 【答案】 ①. avoided others’ eyes ②. making him speechless 【解析】 【详解】“避开他人的目光”表达为动宾短语avoid others’ eyes，句子描述过去发生的动作，谓语动词要用一般过去式，因此avoid变为avoided。“让”用动词make，“让他说不出话来”可用make him speechless表达，逻辑主语a strong feeling of embarrassment和make是主动关系，因此用现在分词形式making，构成独立主格结构。 65. 他坐在桌前，饭菜未动，食欲随失望之风消散，外面的世界似乎灰暗而无生机。 He sat at the table, ________________ his appetite gone with the wind of disappointment, the world outside ________________ 【答案】 ①. the meal untouched ②. seeming grey and lifeless 【解析】 【详解】第一空表示“饭菜未动”用独立主格结构the meal untouched，作状语；第二空表示“似乎灰暗而无生机”为seeming grey and lifeless，为独立主格结构，seem与outside为主动关系，故用现在分词形式。 第四部分书面表达(满分15分) 66. 假定你是李华，你班举办的中外节日介绍活动已圆满结束。外教 Grace 打算为此举办总结会，请你给 Grace 写一封邮件，内容包括： 1.分享参与活动的收获与感想； 2.自荐担任总结会的主持人。 注意： 1.词数 80 左右; 2.可适当增加细节，使行文连贯。 Dear Grace, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Grace, I’m writing to share my gains from the festival introduction activity and volunteer to host the coming summary meeting.
