Four Interesting Festivals in 2026
The following events happening in 2026 will make you want to pack your bags and join the fun.
Holi Festival
Holi turns Indian cities into a sea of rainbow colors. People throw handfuls of colored powder at friends, family, and total strangers, while music, dancing, and laughter fill the streets. The festival celebrates the arrival of spring. It happens on March 3-4, 2026. Wear white clothes if you don’t mind getting dirty, and prepare to be covered head-to-toe in every color imaginable.
Wife-Carrying World Championship
Competitors race through a difficult course while carrying their wife. The course includes water hazards (障碍), and sand traps that test strength, speed, and teamwork. Each winner receives his wife’s weight in beer. It happens in Finland on July 3 and 4, 2026. Despite the traditional name, any couple can compete.
Monkey Buffet Festival
Tables piled high with fruit, vegetables, and snacks are laid out for Lopburi’s (in Thailand) famous monkeys in a yearly feast that is both generous and makes for great photos. Hundreds of monkeys rush to the spread, creating a wild feeding competition that delights photographers and tourists. Typically held in late November, the 2026 event doesn’t have a fixed date yet.
Night of the Radishes (萝卜)
Artists in Oaxaca, Mexico spend hours carving oversized radishes into well-designed historical figures, and imaginary creatures, knowing their creations will dry out within a day. The time pressure makes the festival feel magical and short-lived, which is a special experience. It’s held yearly on the same date: Dec. 23. Arrive early for the best views, because the detailed carvings are amazing but only last for a short time.
1. Which event requires both physical effort and teamwork?
A. Holi Festival. B. Night of the Radishes.
C. Monkey Buffet Festival. D. Wife-Carrying World Championship.
2. What can be inferred about the Monkey Buffet Festival?
A. It follows a fixed schedule. B. Monkeys eat politely together.
C. Its 2026 date remains uncertain. D. Tourists feed monkeys personally.
3. What makes the Night of the Radishes special?
A. Artists use special tools. B. The art disappears quickly.
C. It happens before Christmas. D. Carvings are sold for money.
B
My backpack weighed 53 pounds, filled with dried food, water, and necessities for my first long-distance hike on Canada’s 180-kilometre Sunshine Coast Trail. The journey to the trailhead (登山口) was an adventure in itself — riding my motorcycle in the rain, taking buses, and finally a rubber boat to Sarah Point. As I set off, I felt a mix of excitement and fear. Backcountry trips weren’t new to me, but 15 days alone in the wilderness was a different beast.
I was fascinated with all the trail had to offer. Some parts were wide and flat, while others were narrow, steep, and even overgrown. Each night, I stayed in a different hut, living a unique life each day. At Bliss Portage Hut, I found peace on a hidden bench overlooking a forest. Sitting there, I realized how rare it is to have the forest completely to oneself.
Hiking develops a unique friendship. Along the way, I kept hearing about Pierre, a cheerful Frenchman with long, curly hair. When we finally met on Tin Hat Mountain, it felt like reuniting with an old friend. We laughed about how the trail had connected us before we even crossed paths. It struck me how such journeys remove pretences (做作), leaving only human connection.
Why do people hike? Is it for the views, the loneliness, or the challenge? For me, it was about independence and adventure, a chance to experience real life. The trail became a pilgrimage (朝圣之旅), reconnecting me with the world and myself. Each step reminded me of our smallness in the universe yet our great feelings.
Upon completion, I found my motorcycle, feeling a bittersweet mix of achievement and loss. Returning to city life felt dreamlike, as if the past 15 days had been a dream. The trail had changed me, teaching me to appreciate simpleness and freedom, lessons I’d carry long after the hike ended. Life on the trail was a reminder of what truly matters.
4. What did the author experience before getting to the trailhead?
A. He joined a package tour. B. He came across a wild beast.
C. He covered 180 kilometres. D. He used various means of transportation.
5. What was the trip like according to paragraph 2?
A. It was short of excitement. B. It was basically a desert hike.
C. It offered a variety of experiences. D. It brought a sense of loneliness.
6. What was the author’s friendship with Pierre based on?
A. Shared experience. B. Sincere care.
C. Similar backgrounds. D. Regular contacts.
7. What lesson might the author learn from the trip?
A. Simplicity and freedom are valuable.
B. Happiness is what truly matters.
C. Nothing can compare with city life.
D. Living a simple life is never possible.
C
Dogs have been a part of human society for over 20,000 years. Whereas they first served people by supporting hunters, it did not take long before they became part of the home. Companion dogs might not help secure food, but for years evidence has mounted that they help diminish anxiety and improve sociality. Research led by Kikusui Takefumi at Azabu University, published recently in iScience, explains what might be going on. It reveals that the microbes (微生物) found in the guts (肠道) of dog owners are apparently different from those who do not own dogs and that this is, at least partially, responsible for the behavioural differences.
The brain does not exist on its own. The microbes found elsewhere, particularly in the gut, produce chemical compounds (化合物) that influence how the brain works. With this in mind, Dr Kikusui wondered if microbe transfer from dogs might be helping bring psychological benefits to owners. Keen to find out, he set up an experiment with 343 participants in Tokyo, focusing specifically on teenagers, as adolescence is a crucial period of brain development when social interactions often have lasting mental effects. He and his colleagues therefore psychologically analysed 96 teens who were dog owners and 247 teens who were not. As expected, dog owners suffered from fewer social problems.
The next step would have been to introduce dog-associated microbes directly into the bodies of non-dog-owning teenagers. Since that is an ethically (伦理上) grey area, Dr Kikusui worked instead with mice. After six weeks, mice carrying microbes from dog-owning teens spent longer approaching unfamiliar mice and showed greater concern for troubled cage-mates.
Dr Kikusui admits that making direct comparisons between mice and humans is far from perfect, but his findings nonetheless indicate that the microbiotic changes brought about by dog ownership influence the brain. If the conclusions hold, it seems that the path to a healthier mind may begin not with careful self-reflection, but with the companionship of dogs.
8. What does the underlined word “diminish” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Reduce. B. Balance. C. Replace. D. Overcome.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The design and participant selection of the experiment.
B. The differences between teenage dog owners and non-owners.
C. The role of gut microbes in shaping brain activity.
D. The biological basis and motivation for the research.
10. Why did the researchers conduct experiments on mice?
A. Mice can behave more actively in group interaction.
B. Human experiments may raise ethical concerns.
C. Teenagers were more difficult to study directly.
D. Dog owners show fewer social problems.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Mouse-human comparisons may have limits in brain research.
B. Developing a healthy mind depends on careful self-reflection.
C. Spending time with dogs may contribute to mental well-being.
D. Psychological health requires changes in biological systems.
D
Nowadays, the world is slowly becoming a high-tech society and we are now surrounded by technology. Facebook and Twitter are innovative tools; text messaging is still a somewhat existing phenomenon and even e-mail is only a flashing spot on the screen when compared with our long history of snail mail. Now we adopt these tools to the point of essentialness, and only rarely consider how we are more fundamentally affected by them.
Social media, texting and e-mail all make it much easier to communicate, gather and pass information, but they also present some dangers. By removing any real human engagement, they enable us to develop our abnormal self-love without the risk of disapproval or criticism. To use a theatrical metaphor (隐喻), these new forms of communication provide a stage on which we can each create our own characters, hidden behind a fourth wall of tweets, status updates and texts. This unreal state of unconcern can become addictive as we separate ourselves a safe distance from the cruelty of our fleshly lives, where we are imperfect, powerless and insignificant. In essence, we have been provided not only the means to be more free, but also to become new, to create and project a more perfect self to the world. As we become more reliant on these tools, they become more a part of our daily routine, and so we become more restricted in this fantasy.
So it is that we live in a cold era, where names and faces represent two different levels of closeness, where working relationships occur only through the magic of email and where love can start or end by text message. An environment such as this reduces interpersonal relationships to mere digital exchanges.
Would a celebrity have been so daring to do something dishonorable if he had had to do it in person? Doubtful. It seems he might have been lost in a fantasy world that ultimately convinced himself into believing the digital self could obey different rules and regulations, as if he could continually push the limits of what’s acceptable without facing the consequences of “real life”.
12. What can we know about new communication tools?
A. Replacing traditional letters. B. Helping us to hide our faults.
C. Posing more dangers than good. D. Destroying our life totally.
13. What is the potential threat caused by the novel communication tools?
A. Leading to false mental perception. B. Making us rely more on high-tech media.
C. Sheltering us from virtual life. D. Removing face-to-face interaction.
14. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. The digital self need not take responsibility. B. Love can be better conveyed by text message.
C. The digital world is a recipe for pushing limits. D. Technologies have changed our relationships.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. The Future of Social Media B. Interpersonal Skills on the Net
C. Cost of Falling into Digital Life D. Addiction to the Virtual World
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。
Writing an essay is a difficult process for most people. However, the process can be made easier if you learn to practice three simple techniques.
___16___ When you are first trying to think of ideas for an essay, put your pen to your paper and write nonstop for ten or fifteen minutes without letting your pen leave the paper. Stay loose and free. ___17___ Don’t worry about grammar or spelling. Even though this technique won’t work for everyone, it helps many people get a good store of ideas to draw on.
The next technique is to write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect. ___18___ Yet, by learning to live with imperfection, you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled (弄皱) paper. Think of your first draft as a path cut out of the jungle—as part of an exploration, not as a complete highway.
The third technique is to try printing out a triple-spaced (三倍行距) copy to allow space for revision. ___19___ As a result, these writers never get in the habit of crossing out chunks (大块) of their draft and writing revisions in the blank space. After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore, you can enter your changes into your word processor. ___20___ The resulting blank space invites you to revise.
A. Make sure your handwriting is neat.
B. Let your pen follow the waves of thought.
C. The second draft of the essay should be better.
D. First of all, learn the technique of nonstop writing.
E. Too many writers try to get their drafts right the first time.
F. Many beginning writers don’t leave enough space to revise.
G. Then you can print out a fresh draft, again setting your text on triple-space.

It is an important thing to ___23___ before welcoming a new family member, for dogs require a lot of attention and ___24___.
However, love has a way of ___25___ us. When James saw Poundcake, a cute 8-month-old puppy (小狗) , he knew it was his ___26___. There was only one ___27___ — the puppy was deaf. But this didn’t prevent him from getting it. He ___28___ Poundcake’s adoption without even telling Leah.
Soon, Poundcake was coming to live with James and Leah. ___29___, a lot of differently-abled dogs are ignored and their chances to find a ___30___ home are very slim. This deeply touched James and he ___31___ to provide the best possible life. Poundcake didn’t know what he was in for, but he was ready to pay them back with kisses and unconditional love.
Where there’s a place for one, there’s a place for another — or at least that’s what ___32___ dog people say. The couple ___33___ that there was room in their hearts for one more dog. After some time, Poundcake gained a sister — a lovely lady named Milkshake.
Now Poundcake and Milkshake ___34___ their owners on every adventure, from walks to swims and even paddleboarding (桨板运动) ! James’ life is becoming even more active with these four-legged friends, with whom he has a lifelong ___35___.

When the last customer left KFC, it was already 10:30 pm. Adam, an 18-year-old college student, dragged himself home. He had been working at KFC for over a month that summer vacation.
Entering his room, Adam found his younger brother Bill sitting on the edge of his bed with an uneasy expression on his face.
“Sorry, Adam. I … I did something wrong,” Bill sprang up and said nervously.
“What is it?”
“This afternoon I sneaked (溜) out for a ride on your motorcycle and accidentally hit our neighbor Osman Brook’s car. I was so scared and I … I hurried home in panic.”
“Is the car seriously damaged?”
“The left headlight got broken.”
“It’s truly your fault and it’s really dangerous to ride a motorcycle at your age. Besides, it’s illegal,” Adam raised his voice, obviously annoyed. Hearing this, Bill lowered his head and bit his lips hard.
“Anyway, it’s no use crying over spilt milk. I will deal with it tomorrow. Now you go to bed and have a good sleep.”
The next morning when Adam got up, Bill was still sleeping soundly. Adam was more determined about what he ought to do as an elder brother.
After breakfast, Adam took out all the money he had earned and went out of the house with it. In the yard he saw his motorcycle, on whose side the scratches (划痕) were clearly visible. Adam shook his head and sighed slightly. Then he squared his shoulders and quickened his pace to Osman’s house.
When he arrived, he was welcomed by Osman’s wife Mary, who told him that Osman had gone to the garage to have his car repaired.
“I have something important to tell him. Can I wait until he comes back?” Adam requested eagerly.
“Of course. He should be home soon,” Mary invited Adam in, served him a cup of coffee and began chatting with him.
After half an hour, the door opened and in came Osman. Having said hello to each other, Osman and Adam both sat down on the sofa.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

【导语】本文主要介绍了2026年四个有趣的节日,分别讲述胡里节、背老婆世界锦标赛、猴子自助餐节和萝卜之夜的活动内容、举办时间与特色。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Wife‑Carrying World Championship”部分“The course includes water hazards (障碍), and sand traps that test strength, speed, and teamwork.(赛道包含水域障碍与沙坑,考验力量、速度以及团队合作)”可知,背老婆世界锦标赛既需要体力付出也需要团队协作。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章“Monkey Buffet Festival”部分“Typically held in late November, the 2026 event doesn’t have a fixed date yet.(该节日通常在11月末举办,2026年的活动还没有确定日期)”可知,猴子自助餐节2026年的举办日期依旧不确定。

My backpack weighed 53 pounds, filled with dried food, water, and necessities for my first long-distance hike on Canada’s 180-kilometre Sunshine Coast Trail. The journey to the trailhead (登山口) was an adventure in itself — riding my motorcycle in the rain, taking buses, and finally a rubber boat to Sarah Point. As I set off, I felt a mix of excitement and fear. Backcountry trips weren’t new to me, but 15 days alone in the wilderness was a different beast.
I was fascinated with all the trail had to offer. Some parts were wide and flat, while others were narrow, steep, and even overgrown. Each night, I stayed in a different hut, living a unique life each day. At Bliss Portage Hut, I found peace on a hidden bench overlooking a forest. Sitting there, I realized how rare it is to have the forest completely to oneself.
Hiking develops a unique friendship. Along the way, I kept hearing about Pierre, a cheerful Frenchman with long, curly hair. When we finally met on Tin Hat Mountain, it felt like reuniting with an old friend. We laughed about how the trail had connected us before we even crossed paths. It struck me how such journeys remove pretences (做作), leaving only human connection.
Why do people hike? Is it for the views, the loneliness, or the challenge? For me, it was about independence and adventure, a chance to experience real life. The trail became a pilgrimage (朝圣之旅), reconnecting me with the world and myself. Each step reminded me of our smallness in the universe yet our great feelings.
Upon completion, I found my motorcycle, feeling a bittersweet mix of achievement and loss. Returning to city life felt dreamlike, as if the past 15 days had been a dream. The trail had changed me, teaching me to appreciate simpleness and freedom, lessons I’d carry long after the hike ended. Life on the trail was a reminder of what truly matters.
4. What did the author experience before getting to the trailhead?
A. He joined a package tour. B. He came across a wild beast.
C. He covered 180 kilometres. D. He used various means of transportation.
5. What was the trip like according to paragraph 2?
A. It was short of excitement. B. It was basically a desert hike.
C. It offered a variety of experiences. D. It brought a sense of loneliness.
6. What was the author’s friendship with Pierre based on?
A. Shared experience. B. Sincere care.
C. Similar backgrounds. D. Regular contacts.
7. What lesson might the author learn from the trip?
A. Simplicity and freedom are valuable.
B. Happiness is what truly matters.
C. Nothing can compare with city life.
D. Living a simple life is never possible.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. A

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了在加拿大阳光海岸步道进行长途徒步旅行的经历,包括到达登山口的过程、沿途的体验、与他人的相遇,以及旅行结束后的心得体会。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The journey to the trailhead was an adventure in itself — riding my motorcycle in the rain, taking buses, and finally a rubber boat to Sarah Point. (前往登山口的旅程本身就是一场冒险——雨中骑摩托车、乘巴士,最后搭乘橡皮艇到达莎拉角。)”可知,作者为了到达登山口,经历了骑摩托车、坐公交车、乘坐橡皮艇等多种交通方式。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“I was fascinated with all the trail had to offer. Some parts were wide and flat, while others were narrow, steep, and even overgrown. Each night, I stayed in a different hut, living a unique life each day. (我深深着迷于这条步道所带来的一切。步道有些路段宽阔平坦,而有些则狭窄陡峭,甚至草木丛生。每晚我都住在不同的小木屋里,每一天都过着独特的生活。)”可知,这次徒步旅行为作者提供了多种多样的体验,包括不同地形的路段和每晚不同的小屋住宿。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“When we finally met on Tin Hat Mountain, it felt like reuniting with an old friend. We laughed about how the trail had connected us before we even crossed paths. It struck me how such journeys remove pretences, leaving only human connection. (当我们最终在锡帽山相遇时,那种感觉就像与老友重逢。我们笑着谈论这条步道如何在我们相遇之前就已将彼此相连。我突然意识到,这样的旅程会卸下所有矫饰,只留下人与人之间的纯粹联结。)”可知,作者沿途不断听到关于Pierre的事,两人素未谋面却如老友重逢,他们对同一段旅程的共同参与让他们产生了联系,因此推断作者和Pierre的友谊建立在共同的徒步经历上。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The trail had changed me, teaching me to appreciate simpleness and freedom, lessons I’d carry long after the hike ended. (这条步道改变了我,教会我懂得珍惜简单与自由,而这些感悟在徒步结束后仍会长久地伴随我。)”可知,作者从这次旅行中领悟到了简单和自由的宝贵。故选A项。
C
Dogs have been a part of human society for over 20,000 years. Whereas they first served people by supporting hunters, it did not take long before they became part of the home. Companion dogs might not help secure food, but for years evidence has mounted that they help diminish anxiety and improve sociality. Research led by Kikusui Takefumi at Azabu University, published recently in iScience, explains what might be going on. It reveals that the microbes (微生物) found in the guts (肠道) of dog owners are apparently different from those who do not own dogs and that this is, at least partially, responsible for the behavioural differences.
The brain does not exist on its own. The microbes found elsewhere, particularly in the gut, produce chemical compounds (化合物) that influence how the brain works. With this in mind, Dr Kikusui wondered if microbe transfer from dogs might be helping bring psychological benefits to owners. Keen to find out, he set up an experiment with 343 participants in Tokyo, focusing specifically on teenagers, as adolescence is a crucial period of brain development when social interactions often have lasting mental effects. He and his colleagues therefore psychologically analysed 96 teens who were dog owners and 247 teens who were not. As expected, dog owners suffered from fewer social problems.
The next step would have been to introduce dog-associated microbes directly into the bodies of non-dog-owning teenagers. Since that is an ethically (伦理上) grey area, Dr Kikusui worked instead with mice. After six weeks, mice carrying microbes from dog-owning teens spent longer approaching unfamiliar mice and showed greater concern for troubled cage-mates.
Dr Kikusui admits that making direct comparisons between mice and humans is far from perfect, but his findings nonetheless indicate that the microbiotic changes brought about by dog ownership influence the brain. If the conclusions hold, it seems that the path to a healthier mind may begin not with careful self-reflection, but with the companionship of dogs.
8. What does the underlined word “diminish” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Reduce. B. Balance. C. Replace. D. Overcome.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The design and participant selection of the experiment.
B. The differences between teenage dog owners and non-owners.
C. The role of gut microbes in shaping brain activity.
D. The biological basis and motivation for the research.
10. Why did the researchers conduct experiments on mice?
A. Mice can behave more actively in group interaction.
B. Human experiments may raise ethical concerns.
C. Teenagers were more difficult to study directly.
D. Dog owners show fewer social problems.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Mouse-human comparisons may have limits in brain research.
B. Developing a healthy mind depends on careful self-reflection.
C. Spending time with dogs may contribute to mental well-being.
D. Psychological health requires changes in biological systems.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述一项研究表明养狗可通过肠道微生物给青少年带来心理益处,小鼠实验佐证该观点,但人与小鼠不能直接类比。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Companion dogs might not help secure food, but for years evidence has mounted that they help diminish anxiety and improve sociality. (伴侣犬也许无法帮助获取食物,但多年来越来越多证据表明它们有助于缓解焦虑并提升社交能力。)”可知,伴侣犬有助于缓解焦虑,diminish意思是“减少”。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“The brain does not exist on its own. The microbes found elsewhere, particularly in the gut, produce chemical compounds (化合物) that influence how the brain works. With this in mind, Dr Kikusui wondered if microbe transfer from dogs might be helping bring psychological benefits to owners. (大脑并非独立运作。人体其他部位,尤其是肠道中的微生物会产生化合物,这些化合物会影响大脑的工作方式。考虑到这一点,Kikusui博士想知道,来自狗狗的微生物转移是否会给狗主人带来心理上的益处。)”可知,第二段介绍该研究的生物学依据以及研究动机。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The next step would have been to introduce dog‑associated microbes directly into the bodies of non‑dog‑owning teenagers. Since that is an ethically (伦理上) grey area, Dr Kikusui worked instead with mice. (下一步本应将与狗相关的微生物直接植入不养狗的青少年体内。由于这属于伦理上的灰色地带,Kikusui博士转而用小鼠做实验。)”可知,研究人员用小鼠做实验是因为人体实验可能引发伦理方面的顾虑。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“If the conclusions hold, it seems that the path to a healthier mind may begin not with careful self‑reflection, but with the companionship of dogs. (如果该结论成立,那么拥有更健康心理的途径或许并非始于审慎的自我反思,而是来自狗狗的陪伴。)”可知,和狗相处或许有助于心理健康。

Nowadays, the world is slowly becoming a high-tech society and we are now surrounded by technology. Facebook and Twitter are innovative tools; text messaging is still a somewhat existing phenomenon and even e-mail is only a flashing spot on the screen when compared with our long history of snail mail. Now we adopt these tools to the point of essentialness, and only rarely consider how we are more fundamentally affected by them.
Social media, texting and e-mail all make it much easier to communicate, gather and pass information, but they also present some dangers. By removing any real human engagement, they enable us to develop our abnormal self-love without the risk of disapproval or criticism. To use a theatrical metaphor (隐喻), these new forms of communication provide a stage on which we can each create our own characters, hidden behind a fourth wall of tweets, status updates and texts. This unreal state of unconcern can become addictive as we separate ourselves a safe distance from the cruelty of our fleshly lives, where we are imperfect, powerless and insignificant. In essence, we have been provided not only the means to be more free, but also to become new, to create and project a more perfect self to the world. As we become more reliant on these tools, they become more a part of our daily routine, and so we become more restricted in this fantasy.
So it is that we live in a cold era, where names and faces represent two different levels of closeness, where working relationships occur only through the magic of email and where love can start or end by text message. An environment such as this reduces interpersonal relationships to mere digital exchanges.
Would a celebrity have been so daring to do something dishonorable if he had had to do it in person? Doubtful. It seems he might have been lost in a fantasy world that ultimately convinced himself into believing the digital self could obey different rules and regulations, as if he could continually push the limits of what’s acceptable without facing the consequences of “real life”.
12. What can we know about new communication tools?
A. Replacing traditional letters. B. Helping us to hide our faults.
C. Posing more dangers than good. D. Destroying our life totally.
13. What is the potential threat caused by the novel communication tools?
A. Leading to false mental perception. B. Making us rely more on high-tech media.
C. Sheltering us from virtual life. D. Removing face-to-face interaction.
14. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. The digital self need not take responsibility. B. Love can be better conveyed by text message.
C. The digital world is a recipe for pushing limits. D. Technologies have changed our relationships.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. The Future of Social Media B. Interpersonal Skills on the Net
C. Cost of Falling into Digital Life D. Addiction to the Virtual World
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要论述新型通讯工具给现实人际关系带来的隐性负面影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“By removing any real human engagement, they enable us to develop our abnormal self-love without the risk of disapproval or criticism. To use a theatrical metaphor (隐喻) , these new forms of communication provide a stage on which we can each create our own characters, hidden behind a fourth wall of tweets, status updates and texts. This unreal state of unconcern can become addictive as we separate ourselves a safe distance from the cruelty of our fleshly lives, where we are imperfect, powerless and insignificant. In essence, we have been provided not only the means to be more free, but also to become new, to create and project a more perfect self to the world. (通过消除任何真正的人际互动,这些工具使我们能够滋生出反常的自恋,而无需面对反对或批评的风险。用戏剧的隐喻来说,这些新形式的沟通提供了一个舞台,在这个舞台上,我们每个人都可以创造自己的角色,隐藏在推文、状态更新和短信这“第四堵墙”之后。当我们与现实生活的残酷——在那里我们是不完美的、无力的、渺小的——保持一个安全距离时,这种不真实的超然状态会变得令人上瘾。本质上,我们不仅被提供了更自由的手段,还被赋予了重塑自我的机会,可以向世界创造和投射一个更完美的自我)”可知,新型通讯工具能帮我们隐藏自身的缺点。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“This unreal state of unconcern can become addictive as we separate ourselves a safe distance from the cruelty of our fleshly lives, where we are imperfect, powerless and insignificant. (当我们与现实生活的残酷——在那里我们是不完美的、无力的、渺小的——保持一个安全距离时,这种不真实的超然状态会变得令人上瘾)”及“As we become more reliant on these tools, they become more a part of our daily routine, and so we become more restricted in this fantasy. (随着我们越来越依赖这些工具,它们也日益成为我们日常生活的一部分,因此我们在这幻想中也就越发受到束缚)”可知,这类新型通讯工具的潜在威胁是会让人产生错误的心理认知。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“So it is that we live in a cold era, where names and faces represent two different levels of closeness, where working relationships occur only through the magic of email and where love can start or end by text message. An environment such as this reduces interpersonal relationships to mere digital exchanges. (于是,我们就生活在一个冰冷的时代:名字与面孔代表着两种截然不同的亲近程度,工作往来只能借助电子邮件实现,爱情可以通过短信开启,也可以经由短信终结。这样一种环境,把人际交往简化成纯粹的数字交互)”可知,科技已经彻底改变了我们的人际关系模式。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段中“Now we adopt these tools to the point of essentialness, and only rarely consider how we are more fundamentally affected by them. (如今,我们使用这些工具已到了不可或缺的地步,却很少去思考它们对我们产生了怎样更为根本的影响)”可知,全文围绕新型通讯工具带来的便利背后,隐藏的对个人表达、人际关系的隐性伤害展开论述,核心是探讨沉迷数字生活需要付出的代价,C选项“陷入数字生活的代价”最贴合全文主旨,适合作为文章的标题。
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。
Writing an essay is a difficult process for most people. However, the process can be made easier if you learn to practice three simple techniques.
___16___ When you are first trying to think of ideas for an essay, put your pen to your paper and write nonstop for ten or fifteen minutes without letting your pen leave the paper. Stay loose and free. ___17___ Don’t worry about grammar or spelling. Even though this technique won’t work for everyone, it helps many people get a good store of ideas to draw on.
The next technique is to write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect. ___18___ Yet, by learning to live with imperfection, you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled (弄皱) paper. Think of your first draft as a path cut out of the jungle—as part of an exploration, not as a complete highway.
The third technique is to try printing out a triple-spaced (三倍行距) copy to allow space for revision. ___19___ As a result, these writers never get in the habit of crossing out chunks (大块) of their draft and writing revisions in the blank space. After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore, you can enter your changes into your word processor. ___20___ The resulting blank space invites you to revise.
A. Make sure your handwriting is neat.
B. Let your pen follow the waves of thought.
C. The second draft of the essay should be better.
D. First of all, learn the technique of nonstop writing.
E. Too many writers try to get their drafts right the first time.
F. Many beginning writers don’t leave enough space to revise.
G. Then you can print out a fresh draft, again setting your text on triple-space.
【答案】16. D 17. B 18. E 19. F 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是写文章的技巧。
【16题详解】
空格处是本段的主题句,由空后的“When you are first trying to think of ideas for an essay, put your pen to your paper and write nonstop for ten or fifteen minutes without letting your pen leave the paper.(当你第一次想写一篇文章的时候,把笔放在纸上,不间断地写10到15分钟,不要让笔离开纸。)”可知,本段主要讲的是要学会不间断地写,D选项“First of all, learn the technique of nonstop writing.(首先,学习不间断写作的技巧。)”概括了本段的主要内容,可作为主题句,故选D。
【17题详解】
空前说“Stay loose and free.(保持宽松和自由。)”,空后说“Don’t worry about grammar or spelling.(不要担心语法和拼写。)”,因此空格处应说按心里想的写,自由发挥,B选项“Let your pen follow the waves of thought.(让你的笔跟随思想的波浪。)”说明了按自己的思路和想法来写,因此承上启下,符合语境,故选B。
【18题详解】
空前说“The next technique is to write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect.(下一个技巧是快速写草稿,不要担心是否完美。)”,空后说“Yet, by learning to live with imperfection, you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled (弄皱) paper.(然而,通过学习与不完美共存,你将避免自己的头痛和一个装满皱巴巴的废纸篓。)”,E选项“Too many writers try to get their drafts right the first time.(太多的作家试图在第一次就把草稿写好。)”中的“get their drafts”和上文的“write your draft”相呼应,说明了有很多人想一次就写好,这是不合理的,要学会允许不完美的存在,因此E选项承上启下,符合语境,故选E。
【19题详解】
空前说“The third technique is to try printing out a triple—spaced (三倍行距) copy to allow space for revision.(第三种方法是打印出三倍行距的副本,以便有修改的空间。)”,F选项“Many beginning writers don’t leave enough space to revise.(许多初来乍到的作者没有留出足够的修改空间。)”中的“revise”和前面的“revision”一致,指出了新手作者的常见做法,且其中的“Many beginning writers”和后文的“these writers”相互呼应,因此F选项承上启下,符合语境,故选F。
【20题详解】
空前说“After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore, you can enter your changes into your word processor.(当你修改你的草稿,直到它太乱以至于无法继续工作,你可以把你的修改输入到你的文字处理器中。)”,空后说“The resulting blank space invites you to revise.(由此产生的空白允许您修改。)”,因此空格处应说输入到文字处理器后应该做什么,G选项“Then you can print out a fresh draft, again setting your text on triple-space.(然后你可以打印一份新的草稿,同样将文本设置为三倍行距。)”说的是输入到你的文字处理器后的做法,其中的“triple-space”和后文的“The resulting blank space”相呼应,因此G选项承上启下,符合语境,故选G。

【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了青蒿素的发现使得全世界约数百万人受益。到目前为止,中国已经为发展中国家培训了数千名抗疟疾工作人员,并为30个国家建立了疟疾防治中心。屠呦呦认为疟疾仍然是一个严重的公共卫生挑战。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:今年是发现青蒿素50周年,青蒿素是当今最常见、最有效的抗疟药物。空格处为定语从句的连接词,且代替先行词在从句中作主语;先行词为物,所以用which。故填which。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意:根据世界卫生组织的数据,青蒿素对世界上数百万人有益。空格处位于be动词之后,因此需要填入形容词作宾语。benefit的形容词为beneficial,意为“有益的”。故填beneficial。
【38题详解】
考查现在完成时。句意:迄今为止,中国已为发展中国家培训了数千名抗疟人员,为30个国家建立了疟疾防治中心。空格处需要填入谓语动词,句子中的时间状语为Until now,所以用现在完成时,句子的主语为单数,所以助动词用has。故填has trained。
【39题详解】
考查连词。句意:迄今为止,中国已为发展中国家培训了数千名抗疟人员,为30个国家建立了疟疾防治中心。空格处应该填入连词连接上文的trained和下文的built,所以应该用连词and。故填and。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:2021年6月,世界卫生组织宣布,中国已完成境内消灭该疾病。空格处需要填入名词作宾语,remove的名词为removal,意为“消除”为不可数名词。故填removal。
【41题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:但是一种责任感很快就产生了,这促使屠问她的同事们有多少国家还没有消灭疟疾,以及中国的研究人员可以如何提供帮助。句子中已经有谓语动词,空格处需要填入非谓语动词,主语与动词inspire之间为主谓关系,因此需要用现在分词作状语。故填inspiring。
【42题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:上个月,在一些官员组织的一次会议上,屠说,世界上一些地区的疟疾病例和死亡率有所上升。空格处需要填入非谓语动词作定语,修饰名词meeting,动词organize与meeting之间为动宾关系,所以用过去分词表示被动。故填organized。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:上个月,在一些官员组织的一次会议上,屠说,世界上一些地区的疟疾病例和死亡率有所上升。此处考查固定短语:the number of指的是“……的数量”。故填the。
【44题详解】
考查动词的时态与主谓一致。句意:她补充说,疟疾仍然是一个严重的公共卫生挑战,国际社会共同努力实现一个没有疟疾的世界是很重要的。空格处需要填入谓语动词,本句中为陈述事实,所以用一般现在时,句子的主语为单数,所以谓语动词用单数。故填remains。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:92岁的屠也许不能像几十年前那样努力工作了,但她每月都会阅读团队的研究新闻,并经常在关键项目上提供建议。此处表示“……方面的建议”,所以用介词on。故填on。

【答案】范文一
Dear Chris,
I’m thrilled about your Taste of China series. After comparing the two themes, I think Street Snacks would be a more compelling choice.
Street snacks, which are deeply rooted in people’s daily lives, are not only affordable but also carry strong local characteristics, making it easier for viewers to relate. Moreover, filming at street stalls allows you to capture lively scenes of vendors skillfully preparing food and people chatting happily while enjoying their snacks. This way, you can showcase the delicious food as well as the vibrant atmosphere of Chinese communities.
I believe such a series will be a great success, which is definitely a good opportunity to help spread Chinese culinary culture. Looking forward to your amazing videos!
Yours,
Li Hua

Moreover, filming these dishes enables you to capture chefs’ exquisite craftsmanship, which requires strict control over ingredients and fire, as well as elegant dining scenes like traditional banquets.

第二节 (满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When the last customer left KFC, it was already 10:30 pm. Adam, an 18-year-old college student, dragged himself home. He had been working at KFC for over a month that summer vacation.
Entering his room, Adam found his younger brother Bill sitting on the edge of his bed with an uneasy expression on his face.
“Sorry, Adam. I … I did something wrong,” Bill sprang up and said nervously.
“What is it?”
“This afternoon I sneaked (溜) out for a ride on your motorcycle and accidentally hit our neighbor Osman Brook’s car. I was so scared and I … I hurried home in panic.”
“Is the car seriously damaged?”
“The left headlight got broken.”
“It’s truly your fault and it’s really dangerous to ride a motorcycle at your age. Besides, it’s illegal,” Adam raised his voice, obviously annoyed. Hearing this, Bill lowered his head and bit his lips hard.
“Anyway, it’s no use crying over spilt milk. I will deal with it tomorrow. Now you go to bed and have a good sleep.”
The next morning when Adam got up, Bill was still sleeping soundly. Adam was more determined about what he ought to do as an elder brother.
After breakfast, Adam took out all the money he had earned and went out of the house with it. In the yard he saw his motorcycle, on whose side the scratches (划痕) were clearly visible. Adam shook his head and sighed slightly. Then he squared his shoulders and quickened his pace to Osman’s house.
When he arrived, he was welcomed by Osman’s wife Mary, who told him that Osman had gone to the garage to have his car repaired.
“I have something important to tell him. Can I wait until he comes back?” Adam requested eagerly.
“Of course. He should be home soon,” Mary invited Adam in, served him a cup of coffee and began chatting with him.
After half an hour, the door opened and in came Osman. Having said hello to each other, Osman and Adam both sat down on the sofa.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Adam cleared his throat and began to speak.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Just then, there came a knock at the door.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version
Adam cleared his throat and began to speak. “Mr. Brook, I’m here to make an apology. Yesterday afternoon my brother Bill damaged your car and ran away in panic. We are awfully sorry for that.” “Oh, I see. But it’s no big deal,” Osman smiled. Then Adam drew out the money from his pocket and said to Osman with sincerity, “This is all the money I have. I wonder if it can pay for your loss.” However, Osman insisted that it was only minor damage and declined to take it.
Just then, there came a knock at the door. Osman went to answer it, only to find Bill standing outside. “Morning, Mr. Brook. I … I’ve come to say sorry for …” Bill stammered. But Osman laughed and let him in. The two brothers were both surprised and glad to see each other. Osman gave them a thumbs-up and praised them happily, “Good boys, I truly appreciate your honesty. Just forget about my car.” Whatever the boys said, Osman wouldn’t take the money. Finally, he accepted their suggestion that they make it up to him by doing some work in his garden.
