efollowingisNOTafamousauthor?A.OscarWildeB.AntonChekhovC.GustavHolstD.MarkTwain正確答案：C參考解析：A、B、D選項都是文學史上著名的作家，而C選項的GustavHolst（古斯塔夫·霍爾斯特）實際上是一位著名的作曲家，以《行星組曲》等作品聞名，而非作家。[問答題]5.What’stheChinesefortheunderlinedphrase?Freddieissokeenonfootballthathe’dgotowatchanygameatthedropofahat.正確答案：立刻行動；毫不猶豫。參考解析：“atthedropofahat”是一個英語短語，意思是“立刻行動；毫不猶豫”。在句子中，它用來描述Freddie對足球的熱情，即他會毫不猶豫地去看任何一場比賽。[問答題]6.Susanboughtabraceletfor￡21whichshethenresoldfor￡25.Sheunwiselyacceptedachequefromthepurchaserfor￡35andgavethem￡10change.Shethengavethechequetoherlandlordbutitwasrejected.Shehadtoborrowafurther￡35topaytherent.HowmuchmoneyhasSusanactuallylost?正確答案：￡31.參考解析：蘇珊起初花費21鎊購物，之后因找零支付10鎊，共31鎊。盡管她借了￡35來支付房租，但這個￡35是她用來支付房租的，不屬于額外的損失。她的實際損失是手鐲的成本和找零的錢。[問答題]7.Whatisthemissingfigure?A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.F正確答案：E參考解析：原圖左半邊每次逆時針旋轉45度；右半邊依次水平或垂直轉換。[問答題]8.SectionA(10marks)Writea120-wordreportonChina’stradewithotherBRICScountriesthroughtheyearsof2012—2021.Writethereportontheanswersheet.正確答案：【參考范文】ThegraphsillustratetheimportandexporttrendsbetweenChinaandotherBRICScountries(Brazil,Russia,India,andSouthAfrica)from2012to2021.IntermsofimportstoChina,Brazilexperiencedthemostsignificantgrowth,increasingfromaround$50billionin2012tonearly$100billionin2021.Russiaalsosawanotablerise,reachingalmost$80billionby2021.Incontrast,IndiaandSouthAfrica’simportstoChinaremainedrelativelystableataround$20billionand$40billionrespectivelythroughouttheperiod.RegardingexportsfromChina,Indiawastheleadingcountry,withitsexportsgrowingsteadilyfromapproximately$50billionin2012toover$100billionin2021.Russiafollowedcloselybehindduringthesameperiod.BothBrazilandSouthAfricahadlowerexportvolumesbutstilldemonstratedsomegrowth.Overall,thesegraphshighlightthedynamicnatureoftraderelationshipsamongBRICScountriesandsuggestthattheserelationshipswillcontinuetostrengtheninthefuture.參考解析：這篇英文報告簡潔明了地概括了中國與金磚國家（BRICS）在2012至2021年間的進口和出口趨勢。巴西進口增長顯著，俄羅斯緊隨其后，而印度和南非則相對穩定。在出口方面，中國對印度的出口增長最為突出，俄羅斯次之，巴西與南非亦見增長。這反映了金磚國家間貿易關系的多元化與深化，預示著未來合作潛力巨大，有望在全球經濟中發揮更加重要的作用。[問答題]9.SectionB(20marks)TourismbureausacrossChinaarepromotinglocalattractionsandemployinginnovativemeanstoenticevisitors.TherecoveryoftourismhasbecomeadrivingforceforChina’seconomy.Didyougoanywhereinthepastwintervacation?What’syouropinionontheissue?Writea180-wordessaytoexpressyouropinion.Writetheessayontheanswersheet.正確答案：【參考范文】AsChina’stourismbureausshowcasetheirlocaleswithinnovativestrategies,theindustry’srevivalisindeedapivotaleconomicdriver.Inrecentyears,China’stourismindustryhasexperiencedsignificantgrowth,drivenbybothdomesticandinternationaltravelers.Thegovernmenthasinvestedheavilyininfrastructuredevelopment,improvingtransportationnetworksandcreatingmoreaccessibledestinations.Moreover,theriseofdigitaltechnologieshasrevolutionizedthewaypeopleplantheirtrips,makingiteasierthanevertobookaccommodations,purchasetickets,andexplorenewplaces.Duringthepastwintervacation,IvisitedtheancientcityofXi’an,fascinatedbyitsrichhistoryandculturalheritage.Thistrendisnotjustaboutboostingtheeconomy;it’saboutreconnectingpeoplewiththeirculturalrootsandfosteringasenseofnationalpride.Assomeonewhoenjoystraveling,Ibelievethattourismcanplayavitalroleinfosteringcross-culturalunderstandingandappreciation.ByvisitingdifferentpartsofChinaandexperiencingitsuniquecustomsandtraditionsfirsthand,wegainvaluableinsightsintothediversityandrichnessofoursharedhumanheritage.Atthesametime,itisessentialtoremembertheimportanceofpreservingnaturalandculturalresourcesforfuturegenerations,ensuringthattourismremainsasustainableandpositiveforceforeconomicgrowthandsocialprogress.參考解析：首先明確了中國旅游業復蘇對經濟的推動作用，并以此為出發點展開論述，提及旅游業的增長背景，即政府在基礎設施和交通網絡上的巨大投資，以及數字技術如何變革旅游規劃方式，提升旅行便捷度。然后作者通過個人經歷，即冬季假期游覽西安，展現了旅游業在文化傳承和民族自豪感培養方面的積極作用。最后，重申旅游業對經濟、文化和個人層面的積極影響，同時強調其作為可持續增長和社會進步力量的重要性。共享題干題SectionA(5marks)Readthefollowingpassageandfillintheblankswiththecorrectformsof5wordsorphrasesoutofthe7giveninthebox.Writetheanswersontheanswersheet.TheSilkRoadrunsbetweenChinaandEurope.Itbecameanactivetraderouteinabout100B.C.Forthefirsttime,peopleinEuropeandAsiacouldexchangegoods.Mostimportantly,Europeanscould(41)_____theirgoldtoChinaandbringbacksilk.Europeanslovedsilk.TheRomanshadnofabricassoftas,asshimmering,orasfine.Silkbecamethefavouritefabricoftherich.Itwasworthitsweightingold.ThehighpriceofChinesesilkmadethedangersoftheSilkRoada(42)_____riskfortraders.Onitseasternend,theSilkRoadbeganinChang’an,thecapitaloftheChineseempirethen.FromChang’an,caravansofcamelssetofffor500milesalongafertilestretchoflandtoDunhuang.Thenthecaravanshadtowalkforthenext900milestocrosstheTarimBasin.ThisbasinisoneofthemostterrifyingstretchesoflandonEarth.ItishometotheTaklaMakan,the(43)_____desertinAsia.Sanddunestherehaveburiedcities.Waterisscarce.TravellersontheSilkRoadhopedtheywouldnothavetofaceswirlingsandstormsorterribletemperatures.AttheendofTaklaMakan,caravansfacedthepassesofthePamirMountains.Thenarrow,death-defyingledges,whicharealmost4,570-metrehigh,andnearlydefeatedsometravellers.FromthePamirs,thecaravansincheddowntowhatisnowAfghanistan.Thetravellingth
