（5）主旨大意题。根据第一段Unlike many other penguins（企鹅），African penguins do not live in the coldest areas of the earth，but on warm sunny coasts of South Africa.They are the first penguin species （物种） discovered by humans.（与许多其他企鹅不同，非洲企鹅并不生活在地球上最寒冷的地区，而是生活在南非温暖的阳光海岸。它们是人类发现的第一个企鹅物种。）结合下文，可知本文主要介绍了关于非洲企鹅的一些基本事实，故选B。

4．（7.5分）After wearing masks in public for three years，many Japanese are taking classes to learn how to smile again.
Smiling is meant to be a natural response，but it appears that hiding behind a mask for three years has left many Japanese unable to smile naturally.Some of the them now paying smiling trainers to teach them how to show their white teeth again in a natural way.They take special classes where they are taught how to exercise different parts of their faces and even their neck muscles（肌肉） to smile properly and express happiness without looking strange.
"A smile is a smile only when it is shown on your face，"Keiko Kawano，a successful businesswoman who used to be a radio host，told the Japan Times."Even if you're thinking about smiling or that you're happy， if you have no expression，it won't reach the person you communicate with."
Kawano said that she has taught smiling classes to around 4，000 people since she started her work in 2017.However，requirements for her classes has rocketed recently after people stopped wearing masks.
"Some people say that even if they're able to take off their masks，they don't want to show the bottom half of their faces，or that they don't know how to smile anymore，" smile trainer Miho Kitano said."Actually，improving your smile is just like training the other parts of your body.It's all about the muscles，so exercising the expressive facial muscles is the most important thing."

（2）语义猜测题。根据第三段Even if you're thinking about smiling or that you're happy， if you have no expression，it won't reach the person you communicate with."（即使你在想微笑，或者你很快乐，......"）联系前句可猜测出下划线句意 if you have no expression，it won't reach the person you communicate with."的意思应为：如果你没有表情，你也无法传达给你说话的人。即和你说话的人不会知道你是快乐的。故选A。
（3）细节理解题。根据第五段"Actually，improving your smile is just like training the other parts of your body.It's all about the muscles，so exercising the expressive facial muscles is the most important thing."（事实上，改善你的笑容就像训练你身体的其他部位一样。这一切都与肌肉有关，所以锻炼面部表情肌肉是最重要的。"）可知Miho Kitano 可能同意"肌肉锻炼可以帮助人们拥有自然的微笑"。故选D。
（4）推理判断题。根据最后一段Interestingly，smiling classes have been part of Japanese culture for several tens of years，and they have become popular again after the lockdown was ended.（有趣的是，几十年来，微笑课一直是日本文化的一部分，在封锁结束后，它们再次流行起来。）可推断出这些课程对日本人来说其实并不新鲜。故选A。

【分析】这篇短文主要写了一部名为《男孩、鼹鼠、狐狸和马》的获奖动画短片。故事讲述了一个男孩遇到了一只鼹鼠、一只狐狸和一匹马，他们成为了朋友并一起展开了冒险。这部电影根据Charlie Mackesy的畅销书改编，受到了各个年龄段人们的喜爱。场景、配音和音乐让所有角色栩栩如生。男孩迷失在森林中，找不到家，感到孤独。幸运的是，他遇到了总是能给予智慧或温暖拥抱的鼹鼠。鼹鼠教会了男孩要对生活中的简单事物感到满足。然后他们遇到了狐狸。起初，狐狸对吃掉鼹鼠感兴趣。然而，在鼹鼠救他脱离陷阱后，他与鼹鼠和男孩成为了朋友。之后，他们遇到了马，马很高兴成为他们的一部分。马鼓励男孩不要放弃，并告诉他自己有多么坚强。所有角色都有他们自己的特点。他们一起探索周围的世界，并学到了关于善良、爱、勇气和友谊的宝贵人生教训。这部电影美丽而富有教育意义，它提醒我们即使在最黑暗的时刻，我们永远不会真正孤单。对于珍视友谊和自我发现的人来说，这是一部必看的电影。
【解答】（1）考查冠词。句意：他们成为了朋友，并开始了一场冒险。根据后面adventure（冒险）是名词单数，又根据adventure（冒险）是元音音素开头，可知此处用不定冠词"an"，故填an。
（2）考查被动语态。句意：这部电影改编自Charlie Mackesy的畅销书，各年龄层的人都喜欢这部电影。根据后面by people of all ages（被各年龄层的人），又根据本句陈述事实用一般现在时，可知此处用一般现在时的被动语态，句子结构：主语+be done+其他，根据主语是the film（这部电影）是可数名词单数，可知此处填"is enjoyed"，故填is enjoyed。
（3）考查副词。句意：幸运的是，他遇到了鼹鼠，鼹鼠总是准备好给他一句智慧的话语或一个安慰的拥抱。根据前面He can't find his home and feels lonely.（他找不到家，感到孤独。）后面he meets the mole，who is always ready with a word of wisdom or a comforting hug.（他遇到了鼹鼠，鼹鼠总是准备好给他一句智慧的话语或一个安慰的拥抱。）可知此处用副词形式"幸运的是"，故填Luckily。
（4）考查形容词。句意：鼹鼠教会男孩对生活中简单的事情感到高兴。根据短语be pleased with sth.为某事感到高兴，可知此处用形容词形式"pleased"，故填pleased。
（5）考查动名词。句意：起初，狐狸表现出吃鼹鼠的兴趣。根据前面介词in可知此处用动名词形式，故填eating。
（6）考查介词。句意：然而，在他被鼹鼠从陷阱中解救出来之后，他与鼹鼠和男孩成为了朋友。根据短语make friends with sb.和某人做朋友，可知此处填介词"with"，故填with。
（7）考查动词不定式。句意：他鼓励那个男孩不要放弃，并告诉他他有多坚强。根据短语encourage sb.not to do sth.鼓励某人不要做某事，可知此处用动词不定式，故填to give。
（8）考查形容词性物主代词。句意：所有的人物都有自己的独特之处。根据短语in one's own way（用某人自己的方式），可知此处用形容词性物主代词形式，故填their。
（9）考查名词。句意：他们一起探索周围的世界，学习有关善良、爱、勇气和友谊的宝贵人生课程。根据前面about（关于）后接名词，又根据love，courage and friendship（爱、勇气和友谊）是名词，可知此处用名词形式，故填kindness。
（10）考查连词。句意：这部电影既美丽又有教育意义，它提醒我们，即使在最黑暗的时刻，我们也不会真正孤独。根据前面The film is beautiful and educational（这部电影既美丽又有教育意义）后面it reminds us that even in our darkest moments，we are never truly alone（它提醒我们，即使在最黑暗的时刻，我们也不会真正孤独）可知两句是并列关系，故填and。
