灯。
1．答案与解析：an 两千多年前的长信宫灯很可能是世界上最古老的环保灯，是一件
被誉为“中华第一灯”的极有价值的珍宝。treasure“珍宝，珍品”是可数名词，其前无限
定词，空处应用不定冠词，泛指“一件极有价值的珍宝”，且invaluable的发音以元音音
素开头。故填an。
2．答案与解析：holding 这盏镀金的青铜灯的形状是一个跪在地上拿着灯的宫女。分
析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语动词bears，空处应用非谓语动词作后置定语，修饰maid，
maid和动词hold之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，应用动词ing形式。故填holding。
3．答案与解析：carries 灯盘在她的左手上，而右手被她的袖子遮住，拿着灯罩。分
析句子结构可知，并列连词while连接两个分句，空处在第二个分句中作谓语。根据上文

4．答案与解析：Amazingly 令人惊奇的是，这盏灯利用了虹吸原理，灰烬从宫女的
右臂流入她的身体，在那里储存着水。分析句子结构可知，空处应用副词作状语，修饰整
个句子。故填Amazingly。
5．答案与解析：where 参见上题解析。分析结构可知，“with the ash... is stored”为“with的复合结构”作状语，空处引导定语从句，先行词是her body，表示抽象的地点，
空处在从句中作地点状语，故填where。
6．答案与解析：from 这种独特的设计可以减少灰尘，从而防止灯污染室内空气。
prevent sth. from doing sth.表示“阻止某物做某事”，为固定用法。故填from。
7．答案与解析：to clean 除此之外，灯的六组构件可以拆卸，很容易清洗。分析句
子结构可知，此处为“it is＋adj.＋to do sth.”结构，其中it作形式主语，动词不定式是真
正的主语。故填to clean。
8．答案与解析：was inspired 2022年北京冬奥会火种灯的灵感来自长信宫灯。空处
在句中作谓语，根据空前的 2022可知，此处描述过去的事情，应用一般过去时；主语
“The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Flame Lantern”和动词inspire之间是被动关系，应用被动
语态；且主语是专有名词单数形式，空处应用单数形式。故填was inspired。
9．答案与解析：combination 它使用了透明的双层玻璃和一个隐藏的通道来减少碳沉
积物，这是绿色倡议和奥林匹克精神的完美结合。根据空前的“a perfect”可知，空处应用
名词单数形式，combine的名词形式是combination。故填combination。
10．答案与解析：achievements 精致的长信宫灯体现了中国辉煌的过去，展示了中国
古代工匠的智慧，以及两千多年前中国在科学技术方面取得的卓越成就。名词
achievement，表示“成绩，成就”，为可数名词。根据语境可知，中国在科学技术方面取
得的卓越成就不止一件，空处应用名词的复数形式，故填achievements。

favorite books.
King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table by Roger Lancelyn Green

full of books. Dickens was a family favorite. But the book that really fired my imagination was

The Diary of a Nobody by George and Weedon Grossmith

George and illustrations by Weedon.

Exhalation by Ted Chiang
It's never too late to have your life changed by a book, and it happened to me again
recently when I read Ted Chiang's collection Exhalation. Story of Your Life, one of his best in
it, inspired the alien visitation scifi classic Arrival. I love that too, but each and every piece in
Exhalation is its match in imagination.

2024·武汉市调研 说明文 349词 ★★★☆☆
It is reported that rail industry bosses are planning to phase out paper train tickets and shut
almost 1，000 station ticket offices in England. The government says nothing has been decided.
But the transport secretary, Grant Shapps, points out some stations sell only a handful of tickets
each week and the vast majority of transactions (交易) have moved online.
Regardless of the outcome of the plan, the direction of travel is clear. In the name of
modernization and costcutting, station ticket offices are likely to follow many high street bank
branches and rural post offices into memory. For those who have grown used to the advantages of
organizing travel via a smartphone, there will be little to mourn (哀悼). But for people without
online access or skills, another small social barrier will have emerged. A recent report estimated
that around 6% of households—1.5 m homes—have no Internet access. Millions more of us
remain irregular and unconfident users of the Internet. Most likely, as digital technology becomes
the gatekeeper to everyday life, a significant minority risks being left behind.
The shift online is unavoidable, but its fallout needs to be managed with more care.
Technology should not be allowed to drive people to the side of their own lives, which is
increasingly the case. Ros Altmann, the former pensions minister, recently wrote of beingcontacted by an elderly woman who no longer drives to her local park, because she cannot
download the car parking app required.
The debate over ticket offices offers an opportunity to reflect more broadly on the increasing
role of technology in our social landscape. Clearly, much more needs to be invested in helping
marginalized (边缘化的) groups gain easy online access. Alternative offline options must be
maintained for important services. Contactable telephone numbers and staffed public access points
should always be available. This will cost more. But that is the price of being fair to those who
find themselves on the wrong side of the digital divide.
【语篇解读】 英格兰铁路公司打算逐步淘汰纸质火车票，将多数交易转移到互联网
上。这说明由于技术的进步，人们的日常生活与互联网的关系更加密切，但在转变的过程
中也要关注边缘化人群，否则将会有相当一部分人被抛在后面。
4．What forces the rail industry to phase out paper train tickets?
A．Costs of Internet access.
B．Closure of station ticket offices.
C．A sharp decline of offline transactions.
D．The government's efforts to digitize the industry.
答案与解析：C 理解具体信息。根据第一段中的“some stations sell only a handful of
tickets each week and the vast majority of transactions (交易) have moved online”可知，火车
票的线下交易量大幅度下滑迫使铁路行业逐步淘汰纸质火车票，故选C。
5．Which of the following might fall victim to the plan?
A．Rural post offices.
B．Irregular Internet users.
C．Unconfident households.
D．High street bank branches.
答案与解析：B 理解具体信息。明题意：本题问“下列哪一项可能成为该计划的牺
牲品？”→寻线索：根据第二段中的“But for people without online access or skills, another
small social barrier will have emerged”可知，对于没有网络接入或技能的人来说，取消纸质
火车票将会出现障碍→定答案：综上可知，如果取消纸质火车票，那些不经常上网的人将
成为牺牲品，故选B。
6．How does the author clarify his opinion in Paragraph 3?
A.By giving an example.
B．By making a comparison.
C．By citing research data.
D．By offering statistical analysis.
答案与解析：A 理解文章结构。根据第三段内容尤其是最后一句话“Ros
Altmann...who no longer drives to her local park, because she cannot download the car parking
app required”可知，前养老金部长最近写道一位老妇人联系他并告诉他说自己不再开车去当
地公园，因为她无法下载所需的停车应用程序。由此可推知，该段是以举例子的方式阐述
作者的观点，故选A。
7．What does the author suggest in the last paragraph?
A.Taking the digital divide fairly.
B．Maintaining a diversity of services.
C．Investing more in public transport.
D．Slowing down the pace of modernization.答案与解析：B 推断。根据最后一段中的“much more needs to be invested...and
staffed public access points should always be available”可知，作者建议需要投入更多资金帮助
边缘化群体轻松上网；对于重要的服务，必须维护备选的离线选项；应始终提供可联系的
电话号码和配备人员的公共接入点。总之，作者建议应保持服务的多样性，故选B。

One possible version：
Dear Ryan，
I'm Li Hua from Class 3. I think it's not a good idea to randomly pair up students for the
spoken English training after class. The reasons are as follows.
To begin with, randomly pairing up students may lead to unbalanced language abilities within
the groups. This can hinder the progress of students as the more advanced one may dominate the
conversation, leaving little room for the other students to improve. Besides, students may feel
uncomfortable or less motivated if paired with someone who they don't get along with or have
difficulty communicating with.
My suggestion is to group students based on their language abilities or to let students choose
their own partners. This way, everyone can feel more comfortable practicing and improving their
spoken English together.
Thank you for considering my suggestion.
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua
