.{#{QQABJQAAggigAIIAAAhCAwFwCEGQkAGACYgGQBAMMAIBQBFABAA=}#}2试卷解析部分A篇本文是一篇应用文。文章概述了香港四座著名摩天大楼的设计特点和历史，涉及名建筑师和建筑风格的融合。体现了香港作为国际金融中心的发展和建筑创新。

21.D细节理解题。在描述HSBC总部大楼时，文章提到“…theHongkongandShanghaiBankingCorporation(HSBC)launchedaninternationaldesigncom

petitionforitsnewheadquarters.Foster+Partners,headedbyarchitectSirNormanFoster,wonthecompetition…”这表明HSBC总部大楼的设计是一

个国际设计比赛的赢家，是由Foster+Partners设计的。这说明该建筑的特别之处在于它的设计是一个竞赛中的获胜作品，故答案为D。22.B细节判断题。在提到TheHenderson时，文章描述为“…theoff

icetower,completedin2023,integratestechnologywithnaturalenvironments.”并举例说明有一个“skygardenwhichisanoutdoorrecreationalspacewi

tharunningtrackandaplantingnetworkthatactsasaneffectivebiologicalair-purifyingfilterbyconsumingpollutants.”这些描述表明该建筑将技术和自然环境结合在

一起，特别通过其空中花园和作为生物空气净化器的种植网络。因此，答案为B。23.C细节理解题。文章中描述2IFC：“DesignedbythelateCésarPelli,the1,352-foottowerwasthetallestinthecityuponitsco

mpletion…”表示2IFC在完工时是当时香港最高的建筑。同理，描述BOCTower时说：“The1,205-foottower,completedin1990,brokerecordsatthetimeandb

ecameaninstantlandmark…”指出它在建成时也打破了当时的记录并度成为了地标，这暗示它在那个时候也是香港最高的建筑。因此，两座建筑过去都曾是香港最高的建筑，这支持了答案C。B篇本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者对电话亭的深厚感情。多年前作者意外被关

在住所外，在电话亭拨打电话找来备用钥匙，最终得以脱困，现在电话亭被改装成迷你社区图书馆，作者又在那发现一些很棒的书，获益颇多。24.B代词指代题。根据第一段最后一句中的“tomakeitseemabitmore

‘youngprofessional.’”可知，作者在沙发上铺了些毯子并点燃了蜡烛，以使房子看起来更像一个“年轻专业人士”的生活空间。这里的it指代作者合租的房子，故选B。25.A细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，作者不小心把手机反锁在了住所内，只能

用电话亭中的电话系到房东，拿备用钥匙以解决燃眉之急。故选A。26.B推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句话中的“anypasser-bycan‘borrow’abookfromitsshelves,andreturnitlater,orreplaceitwithanothertitl

efromtheirowncollection.”可知，任何人都可以为迷你社区图书馆的藏书做贡献，即可以捐自己想捐赠的书籍。故选B。27.C细节理解题。根据倒数第二段倒数第一、二句“Thisunbeatableprice-pointencouragedmet

oexperimentwithdozensoftitlesthatIwouldnevernormallyconsiderbuying.AndI’vediscoveredsomegreatbooks!”可知，作者在迷你社区图书馆发现了特别好的书籍，而且它们是免费的，故选C。C篇这是一篇议论

文。本文探讨了宽恕是否违背人性的两种观点：一种认为人类本质上倾向于攻击而不是宽恕，另一种则认为合作、相互尊重和爱是人类的基础。通过对比这两种观点，文章强调了宽恕在个人和社区中的重要性以及学习宽恕的可能性。28.D细节判

断题。根据“Inhisopinion,forgiversarecompromisingtheirwell-beingastheyoffermercytoothers,whomightthentakeadvantageofthem.”Droll认为，宽恕的人在向他人提供仁慈的同时，

可能会损害自己的福祉，因为他们可能会被利用。这直接支持了D选项。29.B推理判断题。文章提到“Evencommonsensestronglysuggeststhatthewilltopoweroverothersdoesnot{#{QQABJQAAggigA

IIAAAhCAwFwCEGQkAGACYgGQBAMMAIBQBFABAA=}#}3makeforharmoniousinteractions.Forexample,howwellhasslavery(奴隶制)workedasamodeofsocialharmony?”作者通过提

问奴隶制作为社会和谐模式的有效性来强调，掌控他人与和谐互动之间的矛盾，从而支持统治是一种伤害的观点。30.A观点态度题。最后一段中的描述，“Forgivenesscanbreakthecycleofanger…Forgivenesscan

healrelationshipsandreconnectpeople.”以及对宽恕在个人和社区的生物学和心理学完整性中扮演的重要角色的讨论，都表示作者对宽恕持肯定和支持的态度。31.C内容归纳题。文章最后提到

的“Theactualityofforgiving,itsactualappropriationinconflictsituations，developswithpractice.”这句话清楚地指出了宽恕在冲突情况下的实际应用和实践是通过练习发展起来的，直接支

持选项C。D篇本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们在冬天通过在路面撒盐来缓解雪后因道路结冰而造成的交通安全问题，并就此问题所带来的环境问题进行科普。32.D写作意图题。根据第二段第一句可知，这句话是为了揭示一个错误认知，纠正盐直接使冰雪融化的错误想法。33.D细节理解题。根据

第二段中的“Normally,whenwaterfreezesintoice,itsmoleculeslineuptoformastable,orderlystructure.Saltinterruptstheprocess…”可知，盐会干

扰水分子在结冰时形成稳定、有序的结构。34.A词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句“IncreasingchloridedensitiesinNorthAmericanlakescouldbegintoupsetlocalecologyanddegradesourcesofdrin

kingwater.”可知，此处指的是氯离子含量或浓度的增加会使当地生态系统受到干扰并使水质恶化。35.B段落大意题。通读最后一段，特别是最后一句中的“allofthisexperimentationisaimedatensuringpeoplecantraveli

nanyweathercondition”可知，最后一段主要讲地方政府努力确保人们在冰雪天气安全出行。七选五本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕如何提高乐观水平给出了几条建议。36．B根据上文“Thewayinwhichyouachieveyourgoals,fa

cechallenges,andovercomefailuresdependslargelyonyourlevelsofoptimism.Noteveryoneseeslifeinthesameway.(你实现目标、面对挑战和克服失败的方式很大程度上取决于你的乐观程度。不是每个人都以同样的方式看

待生活)”以及后文提到的提高乐观水平的方法可知，空处承上启下，表明虽然不是每个人都能以同样乐观的态度面对生活，但是可以通过训练来提高人们的乐观程度。B项“然而你可以训练自己的思维来产生或保持乐观的心态。”符合语境

，能够承上启下。故选B。37.E根据上文“Changeyournegativethoughts.(改变你的消极想法)”以及“Yourmindtakesinnegativememoriesandmakesthembiggerandmores

ignificantthantheyreallyare.(你的大脑会吸收负面记忆，并使它们变得更大、更重要)”可知，空处为前文的结果，表明你的大脑会吸收负面记忆，所以我们都要客观地分析它们。E项“因此，每次你有负面想

法时，都要更客观地分析和看待它们。”符合语境。E项中的“negativethoughts”进而前文“negativememories”相呼应。故选E。38.F根据上文“Tohelpyourbrainstorethesepositivee

vents,youshouldtaketimeeachweektoanalyzewhatyoushouldbegratefulfor.(为了帮助你的大脑储存这些积极的事件，你应该每周花时间分析你应该感激什么)”可知，空处进一步说明我们如何记录我们所经历的积极方面，一

个是每周花时间分析你应该感激什么，下一步就是让这些人知道你感激他们。F项“下一步是让你的爱人知道你爱他们，你感激他们。”符合语境。F项中的“youlovethemandthatyou’regratefultothem”是对这段主旨句“E

xpressgratitude(表示感谢)”的进一步阐述。故选F。39.C根据上文“Infact,thesemessagesthatyourepeattoyourselfmostregularlyaretheonesthatyo

ubelieveinandthatdetermineyourvisionoflife.(事实上，这些你最经常重复给自己的信息是你所相信的，决定了你对生活的看法)”可知，空处表明因为我们经常重复给自己的信息是我们所相信的，所以我们就要不断的去重复它{#{QQAB

JQAAggigAIIAAAhCAwFwCEGQkAGACYgGQBAMMAIBQBFABAA=}#}4们。C项“它们必须以坚定的信念重复，并在日常生活中保持不变。”符合语境。C项中的They指代前文的“thesemessages”。故

选C。40.G根据上文“Forexample,tellyourself‘EverydayI’mimproving’or‘I’mlivingmybestmoment..”(例如，告诉自己“每一天我都在进步”或“我过着我最好的时刻”)可知，空处表明我们每

天告诉自己“每一天我都在进步”或者“我过着我最好的时刻”将会带来的结果，那就是不断的重复一些积极的信念会让你的大脑对负面事件做出不同的解释。G项“重复类似的短语会让你的大脑对负面事件做出不同的解释。”符合语境。故

选G。完型填空文章大意：在2023年东南亚运动会的女子5000米跑步比赛中，柬埔寨运动员BouSamnang在滂沱大雨中跑完全程，感动了所有人。41.D她本可以退赛的。比赛胜负已定(decide)，大雨倾盆而下。但是BouSamnang是在为

她的国家—柬埔寨而跑，所以她坚持跑。delay耽误；arrange安排；cancel取消。42.B由倒数第二段中的“Theathletesaidlaterthatshewasdisappointedtofinishlast...”可知，其他人都跑完了比赛，

只有BouSamnang独自一人(alone)在赛道上比赛。around在周围；away远离；again再一次，又一次。43.A因此，她被视为鼓舞人心的榜样(inspiration)。companion同伴，伙伴；genius天才

；designer设计师。44.C她后来说：“我想向人们展示，在生活中，即使(eventhough)我们走得有点慢……”45.A根据上一题的分析可知，此句表示“我们还是(allthesame)会到达目

的地”。asaresult结果；inthemeanwhile与此同时；inactualfact事实上,实际上。46.C根据下一句“Weshouldtryourbest.”可知，此处是说“所以我们不应该放弃(giveup)”。turnb

ack往回走；setdown写下，记下；switchover换台。47.B根据倒数第二段中finishlast可知她是输了(lose)比赛。leave离开；change变化；come到来。48.D根据后面的“

SoIdidnotquit.”可知，她有权利放弃(abandon)比赛，但她没有这样做。enter参加；organize组织；lead带领。abandon是quit的同义复现。49.A根据第一段中“ButBouS

amnangwasrunningforhercountry—Cambodia...”可知，BouSamnang是代表(represent)柬埔寨的。explore探索；improve提高；promote促进，提升。50.A根据倒数第二段中b

utalsohappytohearpeoplesupportingher可知，雨声中夹杂着鼓励(encouragement)的欢呼和喊叫声。kindness善良；gratitude感恩；entertainment娱乐。51.C根据倒数第二段中“Theathle

tesaidlaterthatshewasdisappointedtofinishlast...”可知，BouSamnang是最后一名。她比冠军落后(behind)了近六分钟。52.C她双手紧握，向仰慕者们(fan)表示感谢。tourist游客；

volunteer志愿者；athlete运动员。53.B根据第一段中“ButBouSamnangwasrunningforhercountry—Cambodia.…”可知，她代表国家，因此她举起祖国的国旗(flag)。tent帐篷；status状况，地位；flower花。54.DBouSa

mnang的决心(determination)赢得了体育界的仰慕者们。beauty美丽；creativity创造性；intelligence智力。55.D此处指提醒(remind)大家体育不仅仅是输赢。guarantee确保；instruct指导；warn警告。语法填空本文是一篇说明文

。武当山位于中国中部湖北省十堰市，以令人叹为观止的自然景观、大型古庙和武当武术而闻名。如今武当武术走出了国门，吸引了包括Ingo在内的很多外国人。56.frequently考查副词。修饰动词appears应该用副词作状语。句意:这个地方经常出现在各种武侠小

说和电影中。57.wereshot考查动词时态和语态及主谓一致。本句主语是复数名词词组somescenes，和动词shoot之间是被动关系，再根据语境判断这部电影已经拍摄完成，应用一般过去时的被动语态，故填wereshot。句意：由中

国动作明星成龙主演的受欢迎的电影《功夫梦》中的一些场景是在金殿和南岩宫等山中著名的地方拍摄的。{#{QQABJQAAggigAIIAAAhCAwFwCEGQkAGACYgGQBAMMAIBQBFABAA=}#}558.a考查冠词。在短语UNESCOWorldH

eritageSite中，site是单数可数名词，因此判断填不定冠词表泛指，而UNESCO以辅音音素开头，故填a。59.significance考查名词。介词of后面应该用名词作宾语，且religious是形容词，在句

中的作用也是修饰名词，故填significance。60.on考查介词。固定短语ontherise意为“在上升中”。句意:近年来，武当与海外国家的交流日益频繁，为武当武术走出国门铺平了道路。61.togo考查动词不定式。根据结构判断此处应该用不定式作定语修饰名词way。62.who/t

hat考查定语从句。空格处引导定语从句，在从句中作主语，先行词为foreigners，故填who/that。63.getting考查非谓语动词。句中and连接两个并列成分，因此根据joining可以判断设空处应该填非谓

语动词getting。句意:在德国参加了一个太极项目并获得了一些关于太极的知识后，他于5月来到武当山，以更深入地了解中国武术和传统文化。64.deeper考查形容词比较级。根据前文内容可知，Ingo已经在德国了解了一些关于武术的知识，因此他来中国是

为了获得更深入的了解。65.hasflown考查动词时态和主谓一致。根据时间状语sincethen判断句子用现在完成时，因主语是Ingo，所以谓语动词用第三人称单数，故填hasflown。第一节应用文写作【思考】栏目投稿开头怎么写
