【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。主要叙述了“Chky Dancers”这支澳大利亚土著舞蹈团成名并成功走向世界的故事。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段首句“Imagine this situatin: yu live n a tiny island ff the nrth cast f Australia, and yu and mst f yur friends have never even been t Darwin. (想象一下这种情况：你住在澳大利亚北海岸的一个小岛上，你和你的大多数朋友甚至从未去过达尔文。)”和第二段中的“Befre lng, yu are receiving invitatins t perfrm all ver Australia. (不久，您将收到在澳大利亚各地演出的邀请。)”以及第三段中的“This did happen in 2007 t the Chky Dancers, an Indigenus dance grup wh live n Elch Island, ff the cast f Arnhem Land. (这种情况在2007年确实发生在乔基舞者身上，这是一个居住在阿纳姆海岸外埃尔乔岛的土著舞蹈团体。)”，可知，文章前两段设置了一种情境，用第二人称将读者代入到这种情境中，第三段又提到这种情境在2007年确实发生在乔基舞者身上，所以，作者在前两段使用第二人称的效果是把读者带入别人的世界中。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Then ne day, n a dusty basketball curt, yur grup is ding an up-beat versin f the Sirtaki dance frm the 1964 mvie Zrba the Greek. Smene films it, and the film is up-laded t the Internet. It’s s funny that suddenly yu are a sensatin, with thusands f hits in the first few days. Befre lng, yu are receiving invitatins t perfrm all ver Australia. (然后有一天，在尘土飞扬的篮球场上，你的团队正在表演1964年电影《希腊人佐巴》中的瑟塔基舞。然后有一天，在一个尘土飞扬的篮球场上，你的团队正在跳1964年电影《希腊人佐巴》(Zrba the Greek)中的轻快版Sirtaki舞。有人把它拍下来，然后上传到网上。很有趣的是，你突然间成为了一个轰动，在头几天就有成千上万的点击量。不久之后，你就会收到澳大利亚各地的演出邀请。)”由此可知，让Chky Dancers舞蹈团成名的舞蹈是改编自1964 年电影《希腊人左巴》中的 Sirtaki(瑟塔基舞：一种希腊民间舞蹈)。故选B。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段“Even s, the audience had seen nthing like the Chky Dancers, wh began, as usual, with a traditinal Ylngu dance, befre breaking ut int their signature Zrba. (即便如此，观众们也没有见过像乔基舞者那样的舞蹈，他们像往常一样，以传统的约尔古舞蹈开始，然后爆发出他们的招牌佐巴舞。)”可知，乔基舞者以传统的约尔古舞蹈开始，然后爆发出佐巴舞，可知，佐巴舞属于他们的代表作品。故选D。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。文章结尾“It’s a great internatinal, multicultural, utback yuth success stry—an Indigenus Australian dance trupe perfrms a techn versin f a Greek dance n Chinese TV! (这是一个伟大的国际、多元文化、内陆青年的成功故事——一个澳大利亚土著舞蹈团在中国电视上表演希腊舞蹈的技术版本！)”可知，文章主要讲述的是一个澳大利亚土著舞蹈团走向国际，最终成名的故事。故选A。

The 3D Dinsaur
Jhn Simpsn
Call me the yungest dinsaur in the wrld. Nt the kind wh attacks yu in a 3D mvie. The ther kind: a dinsaur f ld-fashined pinin. Hw ld-fashined? Let’s just say I cnsider 3D physically dangerus, ecnmically greedy, artistically self-defeating and imaginatively silly.
That kind f dinsaur.
When yu watch a 3D film, yur brain receives tw slightly different 2D images and is frced t make sense f them by cmbining them int ne. The immediate result f this cmbinatin is an enhanced sense f apparent depth (the “third” dimensin). The nt-s-immediate result is, fr at least 15 percent f us, eye strain, headaches and a dangerus dis-rientatin (定向障碍). These risks are greatest fr children and teenagers. It is even pssible that children will develp permanent prblems with depth perceptin (感知) if they are ver-expsed t 3D.
Why d film-makers bring abut these risks n us? S they can charge us extra at the ticket ffice. Wh wins ut f this? Nt us. S wh des? The film-makers themselves?
They might think they d, but they shuld think again. If 3D becmes the new standard, we will see a shift in the kind f films that are made. Setting and actin take ver. Character, relatinships and plt becme weaker. N film that lacks the prmise f a 3D thrill will even find the financial backing t be made. S stand back, all yu serius film-makers, and make rm fr kids’ mvies and animatin.
But the mst annying thing abut 3D is that it is nt necessary. There is already depth in 2D media. The imaginatin finds it there. If we depend n special glasses t find it, we have already begun t replace the wnders f imaginatin with the tricks f technlgy.
I heard a child leaving a cinema recently annunce, “I wish life was 3D!”That shuld be sad, nt just t us dinsaurs, but t everyne.
28. What kind f dinsaur des Jhn Simpsn claim t be?
A. The kind that is yuthful and creative.B. The kind that is fund in many frms.
C. The kind that disapprves f new ideas.D. The kind that appears in many ppular films.
29. Why are the incmplete sentences used in the first tw paragraphs?
A. They make peple feel the language f a debate.
B. They cast dubt n Jhn Simpsn’s credibility.
C. They suggest Jhn Simpsn is a hesitant character.
D. They shw that the subject f the text is nt serius.
30. Which aspect f 3D films des the text emphasize mst strngly?
A. The cst f prductin.B. The number f films made.
C. The effect n audiences.D. The special skills f film-makers.
31. What des the authr claim t find mst disturbing abut 3D films?
A. They make peple feel unwell. B. Their ticket prices are t high.
C. They lead t a lss f imaginatin.D. They reduce the range f films available.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. C 31. C
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。作者Jhn Simpsn自称是一个守旧的人，他强烈反对3D电影的发展，他认为这种电影形式不仅对观众的健康有害，而且破坏了电影的艺术价值，其背后的商业动机更是让人无法接受。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Call me the yungest dinsaur in the wrld. Nt the kind wh attacks yu in a 3D mvie. The ther kind: a dinsaur f ld-fashined pinin. Hw ld-fashined? Let’s just say I cnsider 3D physically dangerus, ecnmically greedy, artistically self-defeating and imaginatively silly. (叫我世界上最年轻的恐龙吧。不是那种在3D电影里攻击你的人。另一种是守旧观念的恐龙。老式的如何？这么说吧，我认为3D在物理上是危险的，在经济上是贪婪的，在艺术上是自我挫败的，在想象力上是愚蠢的。)”可知，他自称为观点守旧的恐龙，即那种对新观念持反对态度的人。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。第一、二段文中使用了很多不完整的句子，如第一段中的“Call me the yungest dinsaur in the wrld. Nt the kind wh attacks yu in a 3D mvie. The ther kind: a dinsaur f ld-fashined pinin. Hw ld-fashined?(叫我世界上最年轻的恐龙吧。不是那种在3D电影里攻击你的人。另一种是守旧观念的恐龙。老式的如何？)”和第二段“That kind f dinsaur. (那种恐龙。)”可知，这是一种辩论式的表达方式，这种方式可以制造悬念，增强文章的节奏感，突出作者对于3D电影的反感态度，让读者感受到他的坚定和强烈情感。同时，这种风格也符合作者自称的守旧形象，加深了文章的主题和氛围。这些不完整的句子让人们感受到辩论的语言。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“When yu watch a 3D film, yur brain receives tw slightly different 2D images and is frced t make sense f them by cmbining them int ne. The immediate result f this cmbinatin is an enhanced sense f apparent depth (the “third” dimensin). The nt-s-immediate result is, fr at least 15 percent f us, eye strain, headaches and a dangerus dis-rientatin (定向障碍). These risks are greatest fr children and teenagers. It is even pssible that children will develp permanent prblems with depth perceptin (感知) if they are ver-expsed t 3D.(当你看一部3D电影时，你的大脑接收到两个略有不同的2D图像，并被迫通过将它们组合成一个来理解它们。这种组合的直接结果是增强了表面深度感（“第三”维度）。对至少15%的人来说，不那么直接的结果是眼睛疲劳、头痛和危险的定向障碍。这些风险对儿童和青少年来说最大。如果孩子们过度接触3D，甚至可能会出现永久性的深度感知问题。)”可知，文章最强调的方面是3D电影对观众的危害和影响，包括增强感知的深度、眼疲劳、头痛和定向障碍等。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段“But the mst annying thing abut 3D is that it is nt necessary. There is already depth in 2D media. The imaginatin finds it there. If we depend n special glasses t find it, we have already begun t replace the wnders f imaginatin with the tricks f technlgy.(但是3D最让人讨厌的地方在于它并不是必需的。2D媒体已经有了深度。想象力在那里找到了它。如果我们依靠特殊的眼镜来寻找它，我们已经开始用技术的技巧取代想象的奇迹。)”可知，我们已经开始用科技的噱头取代想象力的奇迹，即3D电影会导致想象力的丧失。故选C。
D
In 2022, a New Zealand wman became the first t receive a gene-editing treatment t permanently lwer her chlesterl (胆固醇). The wman had heart disease, alng with an inherited risk fr high chlesterl. But scientists behind the experimental treatment are cnsidering hw it culd help pretty much anyne.
The trial is a ptential turning pint fr CRISPR, the editing tl they used. Since the technlgy was first prgrammed t edit genmes (基因组) abut a decade ag, we’ve seen CRISPR frm scientific labs made much prgress. But the first experimental treatments have fcused n rare genetic disrders. They are wrking n mre pssibilities treating cmmn disease like high chlesterl.
The chlesterl-lwering treatment, develped by Verve Therapeutics, relies n a frm f gene editing called base editing, r “CRISPR 2.0”. It’s a mre targeted apprach. Instead f simply making cuts t shut ff specific genes, scientists can nw exchange a single DNA base fr anther. In thery, this shuld be safer because yu’re less likely t cut an imprtant gene by mistake, and yu can be less likely t make mistakes that may ccur when DNA repairs itself after being cut.
An even newer frm f CRISPR culd take things further still. Prime Editing — r “CRISPR 3.0” — allws scientists t put chunks (块) f DNA int a genme. If it wrks in peple, it culd let scientists replace disease-causing genes.
Tgether, these newer frms f CRISPR culd braden the pssibilities f gene editing t take n many cnditins — nt all f them genetic. Smeday, peple may have the ptin t add genes thught t prtect against high bld pressure, r certain diseases, t their genetic cde.
All CRISPR treatments are experimental at this pint, and we dn’t knw if they’re safe. Sme argue we shuld fcus n treating thse with severe diseases in the meantime. But if these new frms f CRISPR d wrk, they culd help many thers.
32. What are scientists fcusing n in the gene-editing treatment?
A. Its great success. B. Its wider applicatin.
C. Its immediate effects.D. Its target patients.
33. Why des the authr think that CRISPR 2.0 is theretically safer?
A. It can shut ff specific genes. B. It can avid ptential errrs.
C. It’s likely t reduce DNA base damage.D. It prvides prtectin fr the genme.
34. What culd be the innvative practice f Prime Editing?
A. Making cuts t shut ff specific genes. B. Prviding treatment fr genetic diseases.
C. Exchanging a single DNA base fr anther.D. Taking the place f disease-causing genes.
35. What can be inferred frm the text?
A. CRISPR treatments haven’t entered human trials.

___37___ After all, it cmes with many advantages. Fr a start, it’s safer, as cash is easily stlen. Credit and debit cards are t, but it’s pssible t trace payments and cancel the cards. Mbile payments are even mre secure. As well as that, all yur transactins(交易) are lgged, making recrd-keeping far simpler.
Hwever, it seems as if we are just nt ready t say gdbye t cash fr gd. Recent data shws that cash has made a cmeback since the cst f living started t rise steeply. That’s nt unusual since peple tend t prefer having paper mney at hand when times are hard. ___38___ But with electrnic payments, it’s harder t keep track f where yur mney is ging.
Even if cash payments d nt vanish entirely, ur ecnmies are changing t becme far less reliant n cash than they nce were. And while switching t electrnic payments is simple and cnvenient fr many peple, this isn’t true fr everyne. An increasing number f stres have stpped accepting cash payments altgether, meaning that such peple may becme mre marginalized (边缘化). Mrever, alngside the decline in cash usage, the number f ATMs and lcal banks has drpped significantly. ___39___
Despite the ppularity f electrnic transactins, ne thing is clear: ___40___ And as cmpanies rush twards finding ever mre cnvenient transactin methds, it’s imprtant nt t abandn thse wh prefer t pay in the traditinal way.

G. This makes access t cash increasingly hard fr thse wh depend n it.
【答案】36. A 37. F 38. B 39. G 40. E
【语篇解读】这是一篇议论文。本文探讨了无现金交易经济流行背景下电子交易的优点，但它不会是唯一的支付方式，现金交易将会继续存在。
【36题详解】
设空处位于段中，根据空处前文“When the Cvid-19 pandemic spread arund the glbe, many banks tk actin. Peple were encuraged t avid using cash and make electrnic payments where pssible. (当新冠肺炎疫情在全球蔓延时，许多银行采取了行动。鼓励人们避免使用现金，尽可能使用电子支付。)”，再结合空处后文“In the UK, the number f cntactless payments increased by 36% between 2020 and 2021.(在英国，2020年至2021年间，非接触式支付的数量增长了36%。)”，由此可推断设空处应该是银行采取行动后，公众使用电子支付的情况，A项“公众反应积极。”符合题意。故选A。
【37题详解】
设空处位于段首，属于本段的主题句。根据本空下文“After all, it cmes with many advantages. (毕竟，它有很多优点。)”，可知本段主要介绍无现金交易的优点，并且本空和本段后文构成因果关系。无现金交易有很多优点，所以无现金经济正变得越来越流行。F项“如今，无现金经济越来越受欢迎。”符合题意。故选F。
【38题详解】
根据空前“Recent data shws that cash has made a cmeback since the cst f living started t rise steeply. That’s nt unusual since peple tend t prefer having paper mney at hand when times are hard. (最近的数据显示，自从生活成本开始急剧上升以来，现金已经卷土重来。这并不罕见，因为在困难时期，人们往往更喜欢手头有纸币。)”可知最近的数据显示，自从生活成本开始急剧上升以来，现金已经卷土重来，人们往往更喜欢手头有纸币。再结合后文“But with electrnic payments, it’s harder t keep track f where yur mney is ging. (但使用电子支付，很难跟踪你的钱去了哪里。)”可知设空处与前文衔接连贯，与后文形成对比，即：使用纸币与硬币，人们清楚钱的去向，就能够帮助人们预算，B项“使用纸币和硬币有助于人们制定预算。”符合题意。故选B。
【39题详解】
设空前文“Mrever, alngside the decline in cash usage, the number f ATMs and lcal banks has drpped significantly. (此外，随着现金使用量的下降，自动取款机和当地银行的数量也大幅下降。)”可知在现金使用量下降的同时，自动取款机和当地银行的数量也在大幅下降，G项“这使得依赖现金的人越来越难以获得现金。”符合题意，且与前文构成因果关系，故选G。
【40题详解】
根据本空所在的整句“Despite the ppularity f electrnic transactins, ne thing is clear: 5 (尽管电子交易很受欢迎，但有一点是明确的)”可知，此句表转折，而冒号则是对“ne thing is clear”的进一步解释与说明，再结合空后“And as cmpanies rush twards finding ever mre cnvenient transactin methds, it’s imprtant nt t abandn thse wh prefer t pay in the traditinal way. (随着公司争相寻找更方便的交易方式，重要的是不要抛弃那些喜欢以传统方式支付的人。)”可知，重要的是不要放弃那些喜欢用传统方式付款的人，说明电子支付不会成为唯一的方法，现金支付不会消失，E项“至少在不久的将来，它们不会成为唯一的方法。”符合题意。故选E。

【语篇解读】这是一篇新闻报道。为庆祝龙年春节，伦敦眼上演灯光变化秀，伦敦眼还上演了舞龙等艺术表演，受到观看者的好评。
【56题详解】
考查副词。句意：作为春节庆祝活动的一部分，英国主要地标性建筑之一的伦敦眼在周四被红色和金色点亮，这是中国新年传统上使用的幸运颜色。本题需要用traditinal的副词修饰非谓语动词used。故答案为traditinally。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在一场小雨中，人们在泰晤士河南岸驻足以观望春节庆祝活动的灯光变化秀。这里应该用不定式表目的。故答案为t witness。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：“由伦敦唐人街华人协会和伦敦眼联合举办的点灯仪式，多年来一直是这里农历新年庆祝活动的常规，”独立拥有伦敦眼的梅林娱乐公司首席执行官斯科特·奥尼尔说。be是作本句谓语动词，本题hld在The lighting-up ceremny后作后置定语，因为和逻辑主语“The lighting-up ceremny”构成的是被动关系，所以要用过去分词，故答案为held。
【59题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：“由伦敦唐人街华人协会和伦敦眼联合举办的点灯仪式，多年来一直是这里农历新年庆祝活动的常规，”独立拥有伦敦眼的梅林娱乐公司首席执行官斯科特·奥尼尔说。这里be动词要作本句的谓语动词，时间状语fr several years“多年来”是典型的现在完成时的标志词，又因主语“亮灯仪式”是单数，故答案为has been。
【60题详解】
考查冠词。句意：“由伦敦唐人街华人协会和伦敦眼联合举办的点灯仪式，多年来一直是这里农历新年庆祝活动的常规，”独立拥有伦敦眼的梅林娱乐公司首席执行官斯科特·奥尼尔说。这里是特指独立拥有这个景点的公司，空后的定语从句起到了限定作用，故答案为the。
【61题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句。句意：像今年这样特殊的“龙年”，使它显得更加特别。本题是which引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰前句的先行词a special year，表物，关系词在从句中作主语，故答案为which。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意：伦敦眼下还上演了舞龙等艺术表演。谓语动词be动词用的是were复数形式，可知主语perfrmance应该是复数形式，故答案为perfrmances。
【63题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：在2006年，铜梁舞龙被列入第一批国家级非物质文化遗产名录。这里hnr作动词含义是“给……以荣誉”，分析句子结构可知，本句缺少谓语动词，铜梁舞龙是被给与荣誉，又因为是在2006年，所以应该用一般过去时的被动语态，主语it是单数，故答案为was hnred。
【64题详解】
考查形容词。句意：伦敦居民布朗形容这次庆祝活动是“非凡的、令人惊讶的、吸引人的”。这里并列了三个形容词来描述这次庆祝活动，remark的形容词是remarkable，故答案为remarkable。
【65题详解】
考查介词。句意：他们充满活力，真正展现了中国农历新年的美丽和优雅。分析句子可知，这里用f表达所有格关系“……的”，故答案为f。

67. 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。
Twenty years had passed since I graduated frm high schl, but the image f the staircase leading t the Smiley Building remained in my memry. I climbed thse steps several times each schl day. Bys wuld sit n bth sides f the staircase, rating the girls as we walked by. They’d call ut a number between 1 and 10. If they thught a girl was really ugly, they barked. Every time I walked up r dwn thse stairs, the barks and laughter rang in my ears. Despite my mther’s advice t ignre them, the painful message that I was cnsidered ugly was deep int my sul.
After high schl, life tk me far frm that small twn. I pursued a degree in Cmmunicatins n the West Cast, built a rewarding career as a writer, gt married, and raised tw wnderful bys. Yet, the dubts frm my high schl days returned whenever I lked in the mirrr.
Then I gt an invitatin t my twentieth high schl reunin. “Why wuld yu want t g back there?” my mm asked. “I thught yu didn’t like high schl.”
I didn’t, but I wanted t g back and tell thse bys ff. I wanted t tell them hw hurtful and unkind they were. And I wanted t shw them they were wrng. I had a husband, a family and all the things they’d made me feel I wasn’t wrthy f.
As the reunin apprached, I practiced the speech I planned t deliver, expressing the pain they had caused and the strength I had fund. In September, my husband accmpanied me t my hmetwn. Dressed in my favrite bluse, I prepared t face thse memries.
Peple greeted me plitely. Hwever, mst faces and names escaped frm my mind, and I questined if I had blcked ut that perid f my life entirely. I realized I was nly hurting myself by replaying thse memries in my mind. I gave up my planned speech. Instead, I chatted jyfully abut life, my family, and my career.
