(这部虚构的电视剧以历史事件为基础，将英国女王伊丽莎白二世的故事以及影响她统治的政治和私人事件戏剧化。在英国女王伊丽莎白二世(Queen Elizabeth II)登基40周年之际，她回顾了九位首相的统治、大众电视的出现以及大英帝国的衰落。)”可知 Crown Season 5 主要讲的是伊丽莎白女王登基40周年的故事。故选D项。

When the sun comes up over the castle of Rocca Calascio, a small mountain village high up in the Italian Apennines, it’s like a silent, magic wonderland. One such sunrise struck Franco Cagnoli with a spiritual calling that led him to go on a mission that affected both the village and him deeply.

Rocca Calascio has seen no resident since 1957. Depopulation of rural or mountain villages in Italy began with the resettlement of villagers in the early 20th century, accelerating after World War Two when people were attracted to urban jobs.

However, like many places, the area is enjoying a revival(复苏)and now home to some families. “To put it in romantic terms, there is a love story between me and the ancient building,” Cagnoli said as he showed visitors round the castle of Rocca Calascio. The castle, with foundations dating back about 1,000 years, is one of the highest in Europe. It began as a tower in a line of connected structures to control and protect the land that stretched inland from the Adriatic Sea.

Cagnoli, now 39, first saw Rocca Calascio when he was 16. He was on a road trip to find himself. “I arrived here as the morning sun lit up the castle. I was blinded by the light and since that day something inside me has changed,” he said. “I thought it was the most beautiful place. I felt special energies, deciding to help its rebirth.” He’s now the castle’s caretaker and head of a cooperative whose members guide visitors.

“Besides temporary visitors, the complete revival has much to do with permanent residents. People of the previous generation didn’t appreciate the land they lived on,” Valeria Befani, a resident in the village, said. “Today’s teenagers, like my children, are proud of their land and are happy if they can stay here.”

4. What inspired Cagnoli to help revive Rocca Calascio?

A. His trip to find himself. B. The impressive scene of the village.

C. His love for ancient buildings. D. The historical importance of the castle.

5. How was Rocca Calascio affected by World War Two?

A Its population loss speeded up. B. It got left behind in economy.

C. Its buildings were damaged. D. It was known by more people.

6. Why was the castle built?

A. To attract people to visit. B. To reduce attack from waves.

C. To strengthen coastal defense. D. To protect the connected structures.

7. What might Befani agree with?

A. Views of different generations vary greatly.

B. Reviving Rocca Calascio has a long way to go.

C. Teenagers are proud of their hometown.

D. The future of Rocca Calascio is full of promise.

【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D

【解析】

【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了Franco Cagnoli看到太阳从罗卡卡拉西奥的城堡升起时深受震撼，于是决定并着手帮助复兴这个意大利小山村。

【详解】1.推理判断题。结合文章第一段内容“When the sun comes up over the castle of Rocca Calascio, a small mountain village high up in the Italian Apennines, it’s like a silent, magic wonderland. One such sunrise struck Franco Cagnoli with a spiritual calling that led him to go on a mission that affected both the village and him deeply.(当太阳从意大利亚平宁山脉高处的小山村罗卡·卡拉西奥城堡上空升起时，这里就像一个寂静而神奇的仙境。一次这样的日出给了弗兰科·卡格诺利一种精神上的召唤，促使他去执行一项对村庄和他自己都产生了深刻影响的使命。)”和倒数第二段中Franco Cagnoli的话““I arrived here as the morning sun lit up the castle. I was blinded by the light and since that day something inside me has changed,” he said. “I thought it was the most beautiful place. I felt special energies, deciding to help its rebirth.”(“我到达这里时，早晨的阳光照亮了城堡。从那天起，我的内心发生了变化。”他说，“我认为这是最美丽的地方。我感受到了特殊的能量，决定帮助它重生。”)” 可知，第一段中的“a mission that affected both the village and him deeply（这个使命深深地影响了村子和他自己）”指帮助复兴罗卡卡拉西奥。因此太阳从罗卡卡拉西奥的城堡升起的壮观一幕激励他去帮助复兴该村庄。故选B。

2.细节理解题。根据第二段的“Depopulation of rural or mountain villages in Italy began with the resettlement of villagers in the early 20th century, accelerating after World War Two when people were attracted to urban jobs.(20世纪初，随着村民的重新安置，意大利农村或山村的人口减少开始了。二战后，人们被吸引到城市工作，这一现象加速。)”可知，20世纪，早期意大利的乡村和山村人口剧减，第二次世界大战后，许多人离开了农村地区前往城市，人口减少加剧。故选A。

3.细节理解题。根据第三段的“It began as a tower in a line of connected structures to control and protect the land that stretched inland from the Adriatic Sea.(它最初是一排连接的建筑中的一座塔，用来控制和保护从亚得里亚海延伸到内陆的土地。)”可知，这座城堡最初是一排相连的建筑中的一个塔，其目的是控制和保护从亚得里亚海延伸到内陆的土地。故选C。

4.推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容““Besides temporary visitors, the complete revival has much to do with permanent residents. People of the previous generation didn’t appreciate the land they lived on,” Valeria Befani, a resident in the village, said. “Today’s teenagers, like my children, are proud of their land and are happy if they can stay here.””(“除了临时游客，完全的复兴与永久居民有很大关系。上一代人并不珍惜他们赖以生存的土地，”村里的居民瓦莱里娅·贝法尼(Valeria Befani)说。“今天的青少年和我的孩子一样，为自己的土地感到骄傲，如果能留在这里，他们也很高兴。”)可知，Befani认为，罗卡卡拉西奥的彻底复兴与长期居住的居民有很大联系，如今的青少年为罗卡卡拉西奥感到骄傲，如果他们能留在这里，他们会很高兴。由此可知，罗卡卡拉西奥有了真正热爱它的居民，它的未来充满希望。故选D。

Liao Wentao, a pet undertaker, put the body of 2-year-old Garfield on a small bed surrounded by flowers. Then he let the cat’s owner say a last goodbye before cremation (火化). “We send off 400 to 500 pets each year, and there’s a great demand for pet funerals,” he told China News.

Keeping pets has become a trend for young people in China and people are more than willing to pay for whatever their pets need. From 2019 to 2021, China’s pet market grew by almost 18% and hit 348.8billion yuan in value in 2021, according to a report by Research Consulting Group.

As the pet economy develops, animal lovers’ various needs have boosted the emergence and development of related businesses such as bathing, pet food, pet beauty and healthcare.

In addition to basic services, pet owners are increasingly paying for many new services, such as training, pet funerals, insurance, photography and entertainment. The growing pet market has also given birth to a large number of new pet-related jobs, noted CCTV News.

Liu Wei, 33, is a famous pet detective in Shanghai. He and his team work on finding families’ lost pets. “We have successfully helped find more than 1,000 pets. Besides cats and dogs, there are other pets like birds, lizards and hamsters,” Liu said. “In many big cities, cats and dogs have become an important part of many families and are taken good care of. So what we look for are not just pets, but family members.”

Apart from pet undertakers and detectives, some people work as pet food testers, pet sitters and pet trainers. According to Tu Di, secretary—general of the Hunan Pet Industry Association, the booming pet market shows people’s improved living standards.

However, there are also problems with the industry, for example, the high fees of taking pets to the vet (兽医). Many pet owners have called for stricter pricing regulations for pet medical services, reported Global Times.

8. Why is Liao’s story mentioned in the first paragraph?

A. To introduce the topic. B. To teach readers a lesson.

C. To sum up the main idea. D. To involve readers in a story.

9. How does the author show the pet market is growing?

A. By introducing an argument. B. By telling some true stories.

C. By giving numbers and examples. D. By focusing on basic pet—related services.

10. What is Tu Di’s attitude toward the booming pet market?

A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.

11. What concern is the growing pet industry bringing about?

A. The low quality of services. B. The rapid growth of the industry.

C. The lack of related regulations. D. The various needs of animal lovers.

【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. C

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。随着经济的不断发展，与宠物热爱者有关的需求不断增加，由此促进了很多和宠物有关的行业的出现。

【8题详解】

推理判断题。根据第一段中“Liao Wentao, a pet undertaker, put the body of 2—year—old Garfield on a small bed surrounded by flowers. Then he let the cat’s owner say a last goodbye before cremation(宠物殡仪馆老板廖文涛把两岁的加菲猫的尸体放在一张铺满鲜花的小床上。然后他让猫的主人在火葬前做最后的道别。)”可知，第一段是以廖文涛工作的例子来呈现一种和宠物相关的新工作行业，由此引出文章的主题。故选A。

【9题详解】

推理判断题。根据第二段中“From 2019 to 2021, China’s pet market grew by almost 18% and hit 348.8billion yuan in value in 2021, according to a report by Research Consulting Group.(艾瑞咨询的一份报告显示，从2019年到2021年，中国宠物市场增长了近18%，在2021年达到3488亿元。)”可知，作者通过数字和例子说明宠物市场正在增长。故选C。

【10题详解】

推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“According to Tu Di, secretary—general of the Hunan Pet Industry Association, the booming pet market shows people’s improved living standards.(湖南省宠物行业协会秘书长涂迪表示，宠物市场的蓬勃发展表明了人们生活水平的提高。)”可知，涂迪对于日益发展的宠物市场经济持有的是支持的态度，因为它反映了人们生活水平的提高。故选B。

【11题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However, there are also problems with the industry, for example, the high fees of taking pets to the vet (兽医). Many pet owners have called for stricter pricing regulations for pet medical services, reported Global Times.(然而，该行业也存在一些问题，例如，带宠物去看兽医的费用太高。据《环球时报》报道，许多宠物主人呼吁对宠物医疗服务实行更严格的定价规定。)”可知，在该行业发展的过程中引发人们担心的是缺乏更加严格的定价规定即相关的规则不完善。故选C。

The first model of Apple’s iPhone was launched in June 2007. Since then, many different smartphones have been introduced. The devices now influence our daily lives in many ways. One thing that has changed is that many people now use their phones to easily take pictures without the need for a camera. Not surprisingly, this change has caused major business problems for camera manufacturers.

Of course, the camera built into the first iPhone 15 years ago did not include a high-quality camera able to compete with separate camera models. But over the years, smartphone makers have invested heavily in research and development to change that. Today, many smartphones have high-quality cameras designed to produce better pictures. And most phone devices also offer powerful tools to improve the quality of the pictures we take.

Japan’s Camera &Tmaging Products Association (CIPA) said the digital camera market continually expanded starting in 1999. It experienced its first decrease in 2009 — and continued to fall thereafter. The biggest change appeared from 2010 to 2020, when worldwide camera shipments fell about 93 percent, CIPA reported. The decreases were mainly caused by drops in shipments of digital cameras that have built-in lenses.

However, camera makers have had more success selling digital cameras with interchangeable lenses. This is because these cameras are generally targeted at professional photographers who demand higher quality. Such cameras can produce “high image quality that distinguishes them from smartphones,” CIPA said.

But this does not mean that professional photographers never use smartphones to capture pictures. Brynn Anderson is based with the AP in Atlanta, Georgia. She said: “Sometimes being a photographer with a larger camera can be intimidating to the person being photographed. Using a phone makes it easier for me to get comfortable moments that might not happen otherwise.” Rodrigo Abd, an AP photographer in Buenos Aires, Argentina says using the iPhone makes it easier for him “to always be attentive” to everyday events when not covering a news story. Oded Balilty is based in Tel Aviv, Israel. “It is definitely an alternative tool,” he said of the iPhone. But he added: “It’s the photographer not the device, that determines the quality of a photo.”

12 What is the potential cause of the first decrease of digital cameras in 2009?

A. Less money was invested to improve digital cameras.

B. Cameras had been built into smartphones and improved.

C. Fewer digital cameras with built-in lenses were produced

D. The digital camera market stopped promoting new products.

13. Why do digital cameras with interchangeable lenses enjoy good sales.

A. They are more affordable. B. They have superb shooting quality.

C. They offer the power to beautify photos. D. They are specially designed for professionals.

14. What does the underlined word “intimidating ” in the last paragraph probably pean?

A. Amusing. B. Demanding. C. Rewarding. D. Scaring.

15. What does Oded Balilty mean?

A. The level of the photographer depends on the iPhone.

B. The iPhone completely replaces his professional tool.

C. The professional skills of the photographer is crucial.

D. The iPhone enables him to work at any time and place.

【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. C

【解析】

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了现在许多人不需要相机就可以用手机轻松拍照，说明了导致这一现象的原因以及相机和手机的区别。

【12题详解】

推理判断题。根据第二段中“But over the years, smartphone makers have invested heavily in research and development to change that. Today, many smartphones have high-quality cameras designed to produce better pictures. And most phone devices also offer powerful tools to improve the quality of the pictures we take.(但多年来，智能手机制造商在研发方面投入了大量资金，以改变这种状况。如今，许多智能手机都有高质量的摄像头，旨在拍摄更好的照片。大多数手机设备也提供强大的工具来提高我们拍摄的照片的质量)”可推知，2009年数码相机销量首次下降的潜在原因是智能手机内置了摄像头，并进行了改进。故选B。

【13题详解】

细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“However, camera makers have had more success selling digital cameras with interchangeable lenses. This is because these cameras are generally targeted at professional photographers who demand higher quality. Such cameras can produce ‘high image quality that distinguishes them from smartphones,’ CIPA said.(然而，相机制造商在销售可更换镜头的数码相机方面取得了更大的成功。这是因为这些相机一般都是针对对画质要求较高的专业摄影师。CIPA表示，这类相机可以产生“与智能手机不同的高画质”)”可知，可更换镜头的数码相机销量好是因为它们有高超的拍摄质量。故选B。

【14题详解】

词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“Using a phone makes it easier for me to get comfortable moments that might not happen otherwise.(使用手机让我更容易获得舒服的时刻，否则这些时刻可能不会发生)”可知，使用手机更舒服，说明使用相机有时会让被拍照的人害怕，故画线词意思是“令人害怕的”。故选D。

【15题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段“Oded Balilty is based in Tel Aviv, Israel. ‘It is definitely an alternative tool,’ he said of the iPhone. But he added: ‘It’s the photographer not the device, that determines the quality of a photo.’(Oded Balilty在以色列特拉维夫工作。“它绝对是一种替代工具，”他在谈到iPhone时说。但他补充说：“决定照片质量的是摄影师，而不是设备。”)”可推知，Oded Balilty意思是摄影师的专业技术很关键。故选C。

【答案】16. C 17. E 18. A 19. F 20. G

【解析】

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了培养感恩之心的几条建议。

【16题详解】

根据前文“Studies have shown that to cultivate (培养) gratitude can increase an individual’s happiness, reduce one’s sadness, and give strength to a person. Those who consciously express and cultivate gratitude have been reported to have much higher self-esteem (自尊) compared to those who do not. They are also more willing to help others.(研究表明，培养感恩可以增加一个人的快乐，减少一个人的悲伤，并给人力量。据报道，那些有意识地表达和培养感激之情的人比那些不这样做的人有更高的自尊。他们也更愿意帮助别人。)”可知本段主要讲的是培养感恩以及懂得感恩的好处，空处位于段末，应是对本段内容的总结，所以应该总的来说感恩的积极作用。C项“This type of behavior always connects to greater happiness.(这种行为总是能带来更大的快乐。)”概括全段内容，符合上下文语境，故选C项。

【17题详解】

根据空前“A board on the wall is a great boost, especially in work environments. (墙上的板子能起到一个很大的促进作用，特别是在工作环境中。)”可知此处讲的是要学会将自己感激的事情写下来，根据空后“Remember that it is very important to acknowledge what to appreciate, especially when you don’t really feel grateful. It can change your mood for the better right away.(记住，承认值得感激的事情是非常重要的，尤其是当你没有真正感到感激的时候。它可以让你的情绪立刻变得更好。)”可知此处讲的是板子上应该写下一些自己认为值得感激的事情，空处承上启下，所以空格处应该说得是这个板子的作用，E项“The board lets everyone write down what they are grateful for.(这个板子让每个人写下他们感激的事情。)”承接启下，符合上下文语境，故选E项。

【18题详解】

根据空后“Another way to cultivate gratitude in your life, whether at home or in the workplace, is gratitude cards.(另一种在生活中培养感恩之心的方法，无论是在家里还是在工作场所，就是感恩卡。)”可知本段主要介绍感恩卡这种培养感恩之心的方法，所以空处应该是和感恩卡有关的建议，A项“Gratitude cards.(感恩卡)”符合上下文语境，故选A项。

【19题详解】

根据空前“When someone goes out of their way to do something really important for you, you should make them know how grateful you are to them.(当有人不辞辛劳为你做一些非常重要的事情时，你应该让他们知道你是多么感激他们。)”可知此处是在说当有人帮助了我们时我们应该让别人知道我们对他们的感激之情，根据空后“If possible，do it in person. This will have a bigger impact if you say it rather than just emailing them.(如果可能的话，当面说。如果你说出来而不是发邮件，效果会更大。)”可知如果可能，我们最好亲自告诉对方我们的感激，空处承上启下，所以空处应该讲的是我们应该让对方知道我们的感激的真诚，那就是我们也乐意为他们做一些极好的事情。F项“And let them believe you can’t wait to do something awesome for them, too.(让他们相信你也等不及要为他们做一些了不起的事情。)”承上启下，而且F项中的them指代上文的someone，awesome与上文的important对应，副词too在语意上和上文之间是递进关系，符合上下文语境。故选F项。

【20题详解】

根据空后“Cultivating gratitude will not only help you keep going in a challenging work environment, but also make you have a positive attitude to do an amazing job or to accomplish a difficult task.(培养感恩之心不仅能帮助你在充满挑战的工作环境中坚持下去，还能让你有积极的态度去完成一份出色的工作或一项艰巨的任务。)”可知此处是在总结全文，概括培养感恩之心的好处，所以空处应该概括全段的内容，G项“Just imagine the positive culture shift if everyone went ahead and thanked other people for their help(想象一下，如果每个人都去感谢别人的帮助，会产生怎样积极的文化转变。)”概括全文，而且G项的the positive culture shift指代的是gratitude这种行为，符合上下文语境。故选G项。

【解析】

【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章简单介绍了中国的茶文化和宋朝时期的点茶文化，讲述了40岁的上海设计师韩哲明将点茶文化在现代焕发生机的故事。

【36题详解】

考查非谓语动词。句意：上海的设计师韩哲明一直在设法完善了这项技术。根据句中谓语“has been managing”可知，此处应用非谓语动词。manage to do sth 是固定短语，意为：设法做成某事，所以应用动词不定式。故填to perfect。

【37题详解】

考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：这种倒热水的动作叫作“点”，故名“点茶”。分析句子可知，此处应为谓语动词；此处描述客观事实，应用一般现在时；主语“The action”与call之间为被动关系，所以应用被动语态；主语“The action”为单数形式。故填is called。

【38题详解】

考查时态和主谓一致。句意：在过去的六年里，这位40岁的设计师用茶和勺子以古画为基础创作了200多个图案。分析句子可知，此处应为谓语动词；根据时间状语“over the past six years”及句意可知，应用现在完成时或现在完成进行时；主语是“The 40-year-old”，指40岁的韩哲明，谓语应用单数形式。故填has used/has been using。

【39题详解】

考查非谓语动词。句意：在过去的六年里，这位40岁的设计师用茶和勺子以古画为基础创作了200多个图案。根据句中谓语动词“has used”可知，此处应为非谓语动词，与“patterns”构成被动关系，作定语修饰“patterns”，所以应用过去分词形式。故填based。

【40题详解】

考查连词。句意：中国茶文化在唐代开始普及，到整个宋朝迅速发展。分析句子可知，“started”与“developed”为并列谓语动词，根据句意，为并列及递进关系，所以应用连词and。故填and。

【41题详解】

考查名词。句意：把这一古老的习俗带回现代生活，让更多的人欣赏它的魅力是韩的意图。根据“Han's”可知，此处应用名词；由“It's”可知，应为单数形式。故填intention。

【42题详解】

考查介词和固定短语。句意：通过“点茶”产生的茶沫跟咖啡上的泡沫很相似，除了它主要由茶做成，而不是由奶做的。分析句子可知，此处应为介词；固定短语consist of...意为：由……组成，符合句意。故填of。

【43题详解】

考查形容词。句意：它是我尝试的所有茶中最接近人们描述的在宋代通过“点茶”做成的茶的。固定短语be close to意为：接近于……，所以此处应为形容词；由“the”及句意可知，应用最高级。故填closest。

【44题详解】

考查名词所有格。句意：韩哲明经常拍照以延长他的艺术作品的生命，因为茶汤上的图案最多只能维持1小时。分析句子可知，此处应为定语，修饰名词“life”，结合文章和句意，这里指艺术品的生命；art在此处意为“艺术作品”，为不可数名词，所以应用名词所有格形式。故填art's。

【45题详解】

考查宾语从句连接词。句意：谈到他是怎样理解这种茶艺的，韩哲明说这是为了“提升茶的美感”，而非改变茶的本质。分析句子可知，“about”后跟宾语从句，所以此处应为宾语从句的连接词，在从句中作状语；根据句意，应用连接副词how。故填how。

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。

The Wiggles, my girl Nayvah’s favorite show, played on the TV, she screamed out in excitement and started dancing along to the songs. Little Nayvah, nearly two, has a big personality and sense of curiosity!

A week later, me, Nayvah and my son, Leo, four, headed over to my friend Kacie’s place —— a ten-minute drive from our house.

My babies were excited to play with Kacie’s children Tyler, ten, and Nevaeh, eight. While the kids played, Kacie and I chatted in the backyard. As we talked, Kacie took the grate (炉排) off the drain (排水沟) that was next to the back door and poured some drain cleaner down it. “We’ve had blocked drains,” she said.

Hours later, as the sun began to set, I sat with the kids in the backyard while Kacie cooked carbonara for dinner. “Sammy! Can you come here and taste the sauce?” Kacie called out. The kids were happily playing, so I ducked inside. Less than a minute later, after trying the sauce, I went back out.

That’s when I saw Nayvah with her left leg stuck in the drain. My girl didn’t seem upset and, at first, I thought it was quite cute. “Kacie! Kids! Look at this!” I shouted out. “Oh no! I forgot to put the grate back on,” said Kacie. We all let out a little laugh, and Kacie and I tried to gently pull Nayvah out.

But her ankle was completely stuck. My heart sank. “Kacie, call Triple-0!” I said. I lay down next to Nayvah — who was still calm — and told her everything was going to be okay. “I’m here, Nay Nay Nay,” I comforted her.

When two fire trucks and an ambulance soon arrived, I burst into tears. It felt so serious. The firemen tried a few techniques to pull her out. Nothing worked. One fireman, named Shamus, decided to entertain my little girl to keep her calm.

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。

“What’s her favorite TV show?” he asked me.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

A few days later, I shared the story on TV and Nayvah received a special recorded message from the Wiggles star, Simon!

【答案】One possible version:

“What’s her favorite TV show?” he asked me. “The Wiggles!” I replied quickly. Shamus played “Rock-A-Bye Your Bear” from his phone as the firemen set up shields around my girl to protect her. They then broke the pavement and the concrete pipe so they could ease her out. She had fun watching as the firemen sang along. In less than an hour, my brave girl was free! I thanked the amazing firemen from the bottom of my heart.

A few days later, I shared the story on TV and Nayvah received a special recorded message from the Wiggles star, Simon! He said Nayvah was a very brave little girl and he was happy The Wiggles helped her to keep calm when her leg was stuck. Simon also invited us and the firemen backstage for a private show at a concert that was coming up. Two weeks later, Nayvah watched them perform live. She was so happy, and couldn’t keep her eyes off the colorful crew. It’s funny to think that if Nayvah had managed to ‘wiggle’ free, she’d never have met her heroes!

【解析】
