第一节 课外阅读(共10小题;每题2分,满分20分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
One Saturday last November, I stepped into my local library. I was about to read a book when I heard an elderly man speak to a lady. “This library will soon become a cafe. Everyone is reading with electronic devices,” he said. Hearing this, I wanted to shout, “I still read library books!” But my words stuck in my throat and I found teenagers around me were talking to friends or staring at their phones.
Reading online feels robotic to me. It’s like I stare at a screen and click “next” for the following page to appear until the very end of the e-book, and at the end of all of that, I just think, “That’s it ” But when I read a printed book, it’s like I’m holding on to the characters. I can imagine the plot better, as I can picture the scenes of each moment in my head with more accuracy and imagination.
Besides, some online books miss components that are in the printed novels. For instance, the physical copy of a fantasy novel I have read contains a map, but the e-book version does not. That is an injustice to e-book users; after reading and understanding the map, the story made a lot more sense for me, in terms of the setting and plot.
And personally, physically turning to the next page is better than clicking “next”. When reading online, I sometimes worry that I click “next” too quickly. It feels more like a race; I want to finish it because the pages just keep making that “flipping” sound and I wonder how long the book really is.
Some printed books have a special smell that makes the novel feel special to me. It’s hard to describe but I’m sure I’m not the only one that thinks so. I know I cannot convince every teen to switch from the digital book to the printed one, but maybe my writing about the difference will at least get some of them to think about it.
1. Why will the library be replaced by a cafe
A. Few people head for it. B. It lacks good management.
C. Few people read its books. D. It holds little attraction for the youth.
2. Why does the author prefer printed books according to paragraph 2
A. They include additional contents. B. They provide a strong connection to the characters.
C. They have a special pleasant smell. D. They can improve readers’ imagination.
3. What is the author’s purpose of writing this text
A. To inspire teenagers’ interest in reading. B. To show advantages of printed books.
C. To reduce the impact of electronic devices. D. To encourage teens to change the reading medium.
B
One day when I was 5, my mother blamed me for not finishing my rice and I got angry. I wanted to play outside and not to be made to finish eating my old rice. When angrily opening the screen door (纱门) with my foot, I kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no regret, for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.
Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have blamed my child, and told him about how expensive this new screen door was, and I would have delivered a spanking (打屁股) for it. However, my parents never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door pushed out, creating an opening, in the defense against unwanted insects.
For years, every time I saw that corner of the screen, it would constantly make me think about my mistake. For years, I knew that everyone in my family would see that hole and remember who did it. For years, every time I saw a fly buzzing (嗡嗡) in the kitchen, I would wonder if it came in through the hole that I had created with my angry foot. I would wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a flying insect entered our home, making life more terrible for us all. My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one that a spanking or stern (严厉的) words perhaps could not deliver. Their silent punishment for what I had done delivered a hundred stern messages to me. Above all, it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst out so easily.
4. When the author damaged the door, his parents _______.
A. gave him a spanking B. left the door unrepaired
C. told him how expensive it was D. blamed him for what he had done
5. The experience may cause the author _______.
A. not to go against his parents’ will B. to have a better control of himself
C. not to make mistakes in the future D. to hide his anger away from others
6. What is the main idea of this text
A. Parents is the best way to solve problems.
B. Parents are the best teachers of their children.
C. Adults should ignore their children’s bad behavior.
D. Silent punishment may have a better effect on educating people.
C
Jennifer DeStefano answered a call from an unknown number only to hear a man threatening her 15-year-old daughter’s life and demanding money, as well as the sound of her daughter crying for help. But while she kept him on the phone, her friends managed to reach her daughter, discovering that she was, in fact, free and well on a skiing trip in Arizona. The voice used on the phone was cloned.
A brief sample (样本) of a voice can be used to train an AI model, which can then speak any given text sounding like that person. Now the dangers are starting to be talked aloud.
ElevenLabs, an AI start-up, offers users the chance to create their own clones in minutes and the results are disturbingly accurate. When generating a playback, the system allows users to choose between variability and stability (稳定性). Select “variability”, and the voice will have a lifelike intonation (语调), including pauses like “er...”. Choose “stability”, and it will come across more like a calm and unemotional newsreader. Taylor Jones, a linguist and consultant, took a careful look at the quality of ElevenLabs’s clone of his voice in a video. A low-tech test, a “conversation” with his own mother, fooled the woman who raised him.
For several years, customers have been able to identify themselves over the phone to their bank and other companies using their voice. This was a security upgrade, not a danger. Not even a gifted voice actor could fool the detection system. But now the banks are forced to change in order to prevent crime.
Creative industries could face trouble. Voice actors’ skills, trained over a lifetime, can be copied in seconds. But some actors may, in fact, find cloning congenial. One actor, who has lost much of his voice to throat cancer, was delighted to have his voice restored for his new movie. Others may be spared the trouble of heading for the studio for retakes. Another industry that will have to deal with the rise of clones is journalism. Secret recordings have long been the contributor to the big news. Now who will trust a story based on an audio clip (音频片段)
7. How does the author lead in the topic
A. By telling a story. B. By explaining a concept.
C. By making a guess. D. By making a comparison.
8. Why is Taylor Jones mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To analyze the use of voice cloning. B. To draw readers’ attention to AI.
C. To prove ElevenLabs’s achievements. D. To show the danger of voice cloning.
9. What does the underlined word “congenial” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Annoying. B. Shocking. C. Suitable. D. Inventive.
10. Which can be the best title for the text
A. AI Technology: Good or Bad B. AI-based Voice: A Potential Risk
C Cloned Voice: Who to Blame D. Voice Cloning: A New Phenomenon

However, in the 17th century when Francis Bacon (1561-1626) suggested that this type of thinking was the way to gain knowledge, he was going against the views of the day. Although Bacon held an important rank in King James’ royal court of England, his true interest was not the day-to-day, slow and inefficient working style of the government, but the worthy search for knowledge. This was certainly not the interest of most people in his days. At that time, people believed more in the church than in facts, and people like Galileo Galilei (1564-1642), who proved the idea that “the Earth is not the centre of the universe”, were often punished by the church with no one coming to their defence. The church and many people tended to ignore the facts and didn’t want to challenge what they had always comfortably believed. In fact, when Galilei proved that the Earth was not the centre of the universe, instead of believing him, people chose to believe views that were almost 2, 000 years old!
It is not surprising that people wanted to believe these primitive ideas as they had been put forward by the great philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BCE). He said that the Earth must be the centre of the universe because it felt like the Earth was standing still. Galilei disagreed. At first, people approved of his studies and urged him to continue, but later when he proved Aristotle wrong, they grew angry and put him in prison. They didn’t want to abandon what they’d always thought as true. And this is still often true today. People make the assumption that if someone important and respected says that something is right, then it must be so. But even though Aristotle was a great man who inspired many great scientists and philosophers after him, he was wrong at times. And Galilei also made mistakes. He is now known as the father of astronomy but he believed that the Earth moved round the sun in a perfect circle. He was wrong.
11. What was Bacon’s true interest
A. The worthy search for knowledge. B. The interest of most people in his days.
C. The important rank in royal court of England. D. The efficient working style of the government.
12. Why did people choose to believe views that were about 2, 000 years old
A. Because they believed more in church than in facts.
B. Because they didn’t want to challenge what they had always believed.
C. Because they didn’t want to give up what they’d always thought as true.
D. Because they chose to believe the views put forward by great philosophers.
13. Aristotle’s understanding of the universe was that the Earth ______ because________________________

The bleeding man next to him was looking at his watch nervously; a woman was coughing and sneezing badly; and a baby was screaming.(划线部分英译汉)

Swap, Don’t shop!
You keep hearing about recycling, right But it doesn’t end with bottles, cans, and paper. Clothing takes a huge amount of natural resources(资源)to make, and buying loads of new clothing(or throwing out old clothing)is not healthy for the environment. So what to do with all those perfectly-good-but-you’re-maybe-a-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on your bedroom floor ____16____. It’s the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes from your friends, and have a party all at the same time.
A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes, the organization of the event, and, obviously, how much fun is had. It’s really easy to do! Here are a few pointers.
●Invite 5—10 people so you have a nice selection. ____17____ , and there may not be enough things to choose from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.
●____18____. They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their “new” clothes home.
●Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room.____19____. Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on. One of the ground rules of the swap should be that everyone must try on the clothes before they take them—things always look different when you put them on.
●Set a starting time. Maybe you say “go,” or turn on a certain song, or whatever. ____20____. And don’t forget to put out some cookies and fruits. Remember, it’s a party!

B. Hold a clothing swap
C. If two people are competing

One Saturday last November, I stepped into my local library. I was about to read a book when I heard an elderly man speak to a lady. “This library will soon become a cafe. Everyone is reading with electronic devices,” he said. Hearing this, I wanted to shout, “I still read library books!” But my words stuck in my throat and I found teenagers around me were talking to friends or staring at their phones.

One day when I was 5, my mother blamed me for not finishing my rice and I got angry. I wanted to play outside and not to be made to finish eating my old rice. When angrily opening the screen door (纱门) with my foot, I kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no regret, for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.
Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have blamed my child, and told him about how expensive this new screen door was, and I would have delivered a spanking (打屁股) for it. However, my parents never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door pushed out, creating an opening, in the defense against unwanted insects.
For years, every time I saw that corner of the screen, it would constantly make me think about my mistake. For years, I knew that everyone in my family would see that hole and remember who did it. For years, every time I saw a fly buzzing (嗡嗡) in the kitchen, I would wonder if it came in through the hole that I had created with my angry foot. I would wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a flying insect entered our home, making life more terrible for us all. My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one that a spanking or stern (严厉的) words perhaps could not deliver. Their silent punishment for what I had done delivered a hundred stern messages to me. Above all, it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst out so easily.
4. When the author damaged the door, his parents _______.
A. gave him a spanking B. left the door unrepaired
C. told him how expensive it was D. blamed him for what he had done
5. The experience may cause the author _______.
A. not to go against his parents’ will B. to have a better control of himself

C. Adults should ignore their children’s bad behavior.
D. Silent punishment may have a better effect on educating people.
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者用自己的亲身经历讲述了无声的惩罚可能对教育人们有更好的效果。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“They left the corner of the screen door pushed out, creating an opening, in the defense against unwanted insects. (他们把纱门的一角推开,在防御讨厌的昆虫的地方开了一个裂缝)”可知,作者把门弄坏后,他父母没把门修好。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one that a spanking or stern (严厉的) words perhaps could not deliver. Their silent punishment for what I had done delivered a hundred stern messages to me. Above all, it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst out so easily. (我的父母给我上了宝贵的一课,这也许是打屁股或严厉的训斥所不能表达的。他们对我所做的事无声的惩罚给我传递了无数严厉的信息。最重要的是,它帮助我成为一个更有耐心的人,而不那么轻易发火)”可知,这种经历可以使作者更好地控制自己。故选B项。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“However, my parents never said a word. (然而,我的父母从未说过一个字)”和第三段中“My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one that a spanking or stern (严厉的) words perhaps could not deliver. Their silent punishment for what I had done delivered a hundred stern messages to me. Above all, it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst out so easily. (我的父母给我上了宝贵的一课,这也许是打屁股或严厉的训斥所不能表达的。他们对我所做的事无声的惩罚给我传递了无数严厉的信息。最重要的是,它帮助我成为一个更有耐心的人,而不那么轻易发火)”以及纵观全文可知,作者讲述了小时候自己因为不满父母的教育因此乱发脾气损坏了纱门,父母没有修理纱门,任由纱门上留下了一道裂缝,不时地有苍蝇等穿过它进入厨房,数年来,这种无声的惩罚令作者不断感到内疚,最终帮助作者成为了一个更加有自控能力的人,因此本文主要讲述了无声的惩罚可能对教育人们有更好的效果。故选D项。
C
Jennifer DeStefano answered a call from an unknown number only to hear a man threatening her 15-year-old daughter’s life and demanding money, as well as the sound of her daughter crying for help. But while she kept him on the phone, her friends managed to reach her daughter, discovering that she was, in fact, free and well on a skiing trip in Arizona. The voice used on the phone was cloned.
A brief sample (样本) of a voice can be used to train an AI model, which can then speak any given text sounding like that person. Now the dangers are starting to be talked aloud.
ElevenLabs, an AI start-up, offers users the chance to create their own clones in minutes and the results are disturbingly accurate. When generating a playback, the system allows users to choose between variability and stability (稳定性). Select “variability”, and the voice will have a lifelike intonation (语调), including pauses like “er...”. Choose “stability”, and it will come across more like a calm and unemotional newsreader. Taylor Jones, a linguist and consultant, took a careful look at the quality of ElevenLabs’s clone of his voice in a video. A low-tech test, a “conversation” with his own mother, fooled the woman who raised him.
For several years, customers have been able to identify themselves over the phone to their bank and other companies using their voice. This was a security upgrade, not a danger. Not even a gifted voice actor could fool the detection system. But now the banks are forced to change in order to prevent crime.
Creative industries could face trouble. Voice actors’ skills, trained over a lifetime, can be copied in seconds. But some actors may, in fact, find cloning congenial. One actor, who has lost much of his voice to throat cancer, was delighted to have his voice restored for his new movie. Others may be spared the trouble of heading for the studio for retakes. Another industry that will have to deal with the rise of clones is journalism. Secret recordings have long been the contributor to the big news. Now who will trust a story based on an audio clip (音频片段)
7. How does the author lead in the topic
A. By telling a story. B. By explaining a concept.
C. By making a guess. D. By making a comparison.
8. Why is Taylor Jones mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To analyze the use of voice cloning. B. To draw readers’ attention to AI.
C. To prove ElevenLabs’s achievements. D. To show the danger of voice cloning.
9. What does the underlined word “congenial” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Annoying. B. Shocking. C. Suitable. D. Inventive.
10. Which can be the best title for the text
A. AI Technology: Good or Bad B. AI-based Voice: A Potential Risk
C. Cloned Voice: Who to Blame D. Voice Cloning: A New Phenomenon
【答案】7. A 8. D 9. C 10. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了声音克隆技术及其潜在的危害。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Jennifer DeStefano answered a call from an unknown number only to hear a man threatening her 15-year-old daughter’s life and demanding money, as well as the sound of her daughter crying for help. But while she kept him on the phone, her friends managed to reach her daughter, discovering that she was, in fact, free and well on a skiing trip in Arizona. The voice used on the phone was cloned.(Jennifer DeStefano接了一个未知号码的电话,却听到一名男子威胁她15岁女儿的生命,索要钱财,以及她女儿求救的声音。但就在她让他打电话的时候,她的朋友们设法联系上了她的女儿,发现她实际上是自由自在的,正在亚利桑那州滑雪旅行。电话里的声音是克隆的)”可知,文章开篇先讲述了Jennifer DeStefano差点被陌生来电里“女儿”的声音骗到的经历,接着第一段最后一句点出,这个电话中的声音是克隆出来的。下文均是围绕声音克隆这个话题展开的,因此作者是通过讲述一个故事或一个人的经历来引入话题的。故选A。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Now the dangers are starting to be talked aloud.(现在,人们开始大声谈论这些危险)”以及第三段“A low-tech test, a “conversation” with his own mother, fooled the woman who raised him.(一个低技术含量的测试,一次与他母亲的“对话”,愚弄了抚养他长大的女人)”可知,第三段提到ElevenLabs把Taylor Jones的声音克隆得很逼真,连抚养他长大的母亲都被骗了,因此可推知,作者通过Taylor Jones的例子来说明声音克隆技术可能带来的危害。故选D。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段“Creative industries could face trouble. Voice actors’ skills, trained over a lifetime, can be copied in seconds.(创意产业可能面临麻烦。配音演员的技能,经过一生的训练,可以在几秒钟内复制出来)”先说声音克隆可能会使创意行业遇到麻烦,然后笔锋一转,But后的内容和上文形成转折,由此可推测此处是声音克隆技术的好处。再结合下文中的“One actor, who has lost much of his voice to throat cancer, was delighted to have his voice restored for his new movie. Others may be spared the trouble of heading for the studio for retakes.(一位因喉癌失去了大部分声音的演员,很高兴他的声音在他的新电影中恢复了。其他人可能会省去去工作室重拍的麻烦)”可知,有一位演员因患喉癌声音受损,他很开心声音克隆技术恢复了自己的声音。其他人或许能省去前往录音棚重录的麻烦。因此对于这些人来说声音克隆技术是非常“适合”他们的。故划线词意思是“适合的”。故选C。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Now the dangers are starting to be talked aloud.(现在,人们开始大声谈论这些危险)”结合下文对声音克隆技术的危害的描述可知,本文主要介绍声音克隆技术和它的潜在危害。B选项“以人工智能为基础的声音:一个潜在的危害”能概括文章的主旨。故选B。
第二节 课内阅读(共5小题;每题2分,满分10分)
(一)不定项选择及填空题(共3小题;每小题2分,满分6分)
阅读下面课内节选文段,其中第1、2题为不定项选择题(从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出一个或多个正确的选项,漏选或多选不得分),第3为填空题(在该小题的空白处填上适当的内容)。
However, in the 17th century when Francis Bacon (1561-1626) suggested that this type of thinking was the way to gain knowledge, he was going against the views of the day. Although Bacon held an important rank in King James’ royal court of England, his true interest was not the day-to-day, slow and inefficient working style of the government, but the worthy search for knowledge. This was certainly not the interest of most people in his days. At that time, people believed more in the church than in facts, and people like Galileo Galilei (1564-1642), who proved the idea that “the Earth is not the centre of the universe”, were often punished by the church with no one coming to their defence. The church and many people tended to ignore the facts and didn’t want to challenge what they had always comfortably believed. In fact, when Galilei proved that the Earth was not the centre of the universe, instead of believing him, people chose to believe views that were almost 2, 000 years old!
It is not surprising that people wanted to believe these primitive ideas as they had been put forward by the great philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BCE). He said that the Earth must be the centre of the universe because it felt like the Earth was standing still. Galilei disagreed. At first, people approved of his studies and urged him to continue, but later when he proved Aristotle wrong, they grew angry and put him in prison. They didn’t want to abandon what they’d always thought as true. And this is still often true today. People make the assumption that if someone important and respected says that something is right, then it must be so. But even though Aristotle was a great man who inspired many great scientists and philosophers after him, he was wrong at times. And Galilei also made mistakes. He is now known as the father of astronomy but he believed that the Earth moved round the sun in a perfect circle. He was wrong.
11. What was Bacon’s true interest
A. The worthy search for knowledge. B. The interest of most people in his days.
C. The important rank in royal court of England. D. The efficient working style of the government.
12. Why did people choose to believe views that were about 2, 000 years old
A. Because they believed more in church than in facts.
B. Because they didn’t want to challenge what they had always believed.
C. Because they didn’t want to give up what they’d always thought as true.
D. Because they chose to believe the views put forward by great philosophers.
13. Aristotle’s understanding of the universe was that the Earth ______ because________________________
【答案】11. A 12. ABCD
13. ①. must be the center of the universe ②. it felt like the earth was standing still.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要讲述了在17世纪,弗朗西斯·培根提出了通过理性思维来获取知识的方式,并介绍了当时人们对此观点的反对态度。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Although Bacon held an important rank in King James’ royal court of England, his true interest was not the day-to-day, slow and inefficient working style of the government, but the worthy search for knowledge. (尽管Bacon在詹姆斯国王的英国皇家法庭中担任重要职位,但他真正的兴趣并不是政府的日常、缓慢且低效的工作方式,而是对知识的可贵追求。)”可知,Bacon的真正兴趣是对知识的追求。故选A。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“At that time, people believed more in the church than in facts, and people like Galileo Galilei (1564-1642), who proved the idea that “the Earth is not the centre of the universe”, were often punished by the church with no one coming to their defence. The church and many people tended to ignore the facts and didn’t want to challenge what they had always comfortably believed. ( 在那个时候,人们更相信教会而不是事实,像伽利略·伽利莱(1564-1642)这样证明了“地球不是宇宙中心”的人经常受到教会的惩罚,没有人来为他们辩护。教会和许多人倾向于忽视事实,不想挑战他们一直深信不疑的东西。)”以及第二段中“It is not surprising that people wanted to believe these primitive ideas as they had been put forward by the great philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BCE). (人们愿意相信这些由伟大的哲学家亚里士多德(公元前384-322年)提出的原始思想,这并不奇怪。)”可知,人们选择相信大约2000年前的观点是因为他们更相信教会而不是事实,并且他们不想挑战他们一直相信的东西;以及他们不想放弃他们一直认为正确的东西以及选择相信伟大哲学家提出的观点。故答案为ABCD。
【13题详解】
考查细节理解题。根据第二段中“ He said that the Earth must be the centre of the universe because it felt like the Earth was standing still. (他说地球一定是宇宙的中心,因为感觉地球是静止不动的。)”可知,亚里士多德对宇宙的理解是球一定是宇宙的中心,因为感觉地球是静止不动的。故答案为must be the center of the universe;it felt like the earth was standing still.
(二)翻译句子(共2小题;每小题2分,满分4分)
结合所给段落信息,按照你的理解把下列两组划线的句子翻译成中文。
14. A middle-aged man was feeling very down. Everything had been going wrong for him. He had had problems at work and his wife had left him for another man. So, after he had been feeling depressed for over a month, he decided to go to the doctor. He had to wait for what seemed like ages in the doctor’s surgery. The bleeding man next to him was looking at his watch nervously; a woman was coughing and sneezing badly; and a baby was screaming.(划线部分英译汉)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】他不得不在医生的诊室里等待,好像过了好几个世纪。紧挨着他的男人在流血,紧张地看着他(自己)的手表;一个女人正咳嗽得厉害,打喷嚏得厉害;还有一个婴儿在喊叫。
【解析】
【详解】考查句子结构,宾语从句,动词短语和时态。分析可知,第一个句子“He had to wait for what seemed like ages in the doctor’s surgery.”中主语“He”翻译为“他”,“had to wait”翻译为“不得不等待”,“for”为介词,用于表示持续的时间,“what seemed like ages”翻译为“好像过了好几个世纪”,“in the doctor’s surgery”翻译为“在医生的诊室里”。因此,该句翻译为“他不得不在医生的诊室里等待,好像过了好几个世纪。”第二句“The bleeding man next to him was looking at his watch nervously”中“The bleeding man”中“bleeding”为现在分词作定语,翻译为“流着血的男人”,“next to him”为后置定语,修饰“流着血的男人”,翻译为“紧挨着他的”,即“紧挨着他的流着血的男人”,“was looking at his watch”翻译为“正看着他的手表”,“nervously”翻译为“紧张地”,因此,该部分译为“紧挨着他的男人在流血,紧张地看着他(自己)的手表”。“a woman was coughing and sneezing badly”中“a woman”翻译为“一个女人”,“was coughing and sneezing badly”翻译为“正咳嗽得厉害,打喷嚏得厉害”,因此该部分译为“一个女人正咳嗽得厉害,打喷嚏得厉害”。“and a baby was screaming”翻译为“还有一个婴儿在喊叫”。故翻译为:他不得不在医生的诊室里等待,好像过了好几个世纪。紧挨着他的男人在流血,紧张地看着他(自己)的手表;一个女人正咳嗽得厉害,打喷嚏得厉害;还有一个婴儿在喊叫。
15. The owner of the castle is an abnormal creature, half-man, half-beast, who tells the trader—either one of his daughters replaces him as a prisoner in the castle, or he will die. Beauty offers to replace her father and be trapped in the castle. In the end, she discovers the Beast is not as awful and cruel as he seems. In fact, he is a handsome prince. (划线部分英译汉)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】美女提出代替她的父亲,并被困在城堡里。最后,她发现野兽并不像看起来那么可怕和残忍。事实上,他是一位英俊的王子。
【解析】
【详解】考查句子结构和固定短语。“beauty”在句子中指“美女”,“offers to do”为“提出做某事”,“replace her father”为“代替她的父亲”,“be trapped in”为“被困在”,“castle”为“城堡”,“in the end”为“最后”,“discover”为“发现”,“the Beast”为“野兽”,“awful”为“可怕的”,“cruel”为“残忍的”,“seem”为“像”,“as...as...”表示“和……一样……”“in fact”为“事实上”,“he is a handsome prince”为“他是一位英俊的王子”,故翻译为“美女提出代替她的父亲,并被困在城堡里。最后,她发现野兽并不像看起来那么可怕和残忍。事实上,他是一位英俊的王子”。

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。
Swap, Don’t shop!
You keep hearing about recycling, right But it doesn’t end with bottles, cans, and paper. Clothing takes a huge amount of natural resources(资源)to make, and buying loads of new clothing(or throwing out old clothing)is not healthy for the environment. So what to do with all those perfectly-good-but-you’re-maybe-a-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on your bedroom floor ____16____. It’s the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes from your friends, and have a party all at the same time.
A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes, the organization of the event, and, obviously, how much fun is had. It’s really easy to do! Here are a few pointers.
●Invite 5—10 people so you have a nice selection. ____17____ , and there may not be enough things to choose from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.
●____18____. They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their “new” clothes home.
●Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room.____19____. Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on. One of the ground rules of the swap should be that everyone must try on the clothes before they take them—things always look different when you put them on.
●Set a starting time. Maybe you say “go,” or turn on a certain song, or whatever. ____20____. And don’t forget to put out some cookies and fruits. Remember, it’s a party!
A. Less people than that
B. Hold a clothing swap
C. If two people are competing
D. Just keep music playing throughout
E. Donate whatever clothes are left over
F. Have everyone put their clothes in the right spots
G. Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition
【答案】16. B 17. A 18. G 19. F 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了通过衣物交换来处理旧衣服的方法——衣物交换派对,以及一些具体的流程。
【16题详解】
根据上文“So what to do with all those perfectly- good-but-you ’re- maybe-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on your bedroom floor (那么,该如何处理那些堆在卧室地板上的看起来完好但你可能有点厌倦的衣服呢 )”可知此处提出关于如何解决旧衣物的问题。根据下文“It’s the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes from your friends, and have a party all at the same time.(这是扔掉旧衣服、从朋友那里买衣服、同时开派对的最好方法。)”可知此处提到了具体处理旧衣物的方法,空处应起承上启下的作用,承接上文讲到的问题,启下提出的方法,所以空处应该提出一种处理旧衣物的好方法。B项“Hold a clothing swap.(进行衣物交换。)”给出了一种处理旧衣物的方法,承上启下,符合上下文语境。故选B项。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Invite 5-10 people so you have a nice selection.(邀请5到10个人,这样你就有一个很好的选择。)”可知此处说明了应该邀请的人数。根据下文“and there may not be enough things to choose from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.(可能没有足够的东西可供选择;多于这个数量,它就变得无法控制。)可知多于或少于一定数量的人数将会导致一些麻烦。所以空处应是针对下文中的“more than that ,and it becomes uncontrollable. (超过这个数,就会变得无法控制。)”提出的相反假设。A项“Less people than that(少于这些人)”提出一种假设,和下文中“more than that”相对,说明人数不宜太多,也不能太少,符合上下文语境。故选A项。
【18题详解】
空处位于段首,是本段的主旨句。根据下文“They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their “new” clothes home.(他们还应该准备大量的可重复使用的袋子,把他们的“新”衣服带回家。)说明去的时候应该为交换所得的“新衣服”准备袋子,所以空处应该讲对每个来参加交换派对的人所带衣物的要求。G项“Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition.(告诉每个人带来品相完好的衣服。)”说明去参加衣物交换的时候应该带完好的衣服,其中的bring和下文中carry相对,下文中的also也是提示词,并且空后的They指代G项的everyone,概括本段文意,符合上下文语境。故选G项。
【19题详解】
根据段首句“Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room.(把不同类型的衣服放在房间的不同地方。)”可知本段主要讲衣服带来以后的相关问题,根据下文“Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on.(在房间周围放几面镜子,这样人们试穿时就能看到衣服的样子。)可知在房间里要放置一面镜子,方便人们试穿衣服,空处承上启下,所以空处应该讲的是在房间里人们对于带来的衣服应该怎么做。F项“Have everyone put their clothes in the right spots.(让每个人的衣服都放在相应的位置上。)”说明每个人应该按照不同类型把衣服摆放在相应的位置,而且F项的spots对应空前的surfaces,符合上下文语境。故选F项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Set a starting time. Maybe you say “go,” or turn on a certain song, or whatever.(设置开始时间。也许你说“开始”,或者打开一首歌,或者无论什么。)可知本段主要讲的是和聚会有关的事情。根据下文“And don’t forget to put out some cookies and fruits. Remember, it’s a party!(别忘了拿出一些饼干和水果。记住,这是个派对!)”可知此处讲的是聚会上应该提供一些派对该有的服务。空处承上启下,所以也应该讲述和聚会有关的内容。D项“Just keep music playing throughout.(要始终播放音乐。)”承接上文,启出下文,而且D项中的music对应空前的a certain song,与前文形成意义上的一致,符合上下文语境。故选D项。
