In the mid-1990s, Tm Bissell taught English as a vlunteer in Uzbekistan. He left after seven mnths, physically brken and having lst his mind. A few years later, still attracted t the cuntry, he returned t Uzbekistan t write an article abut the disappearance f the Aral Sea.
His visit, hwever, ended up invlving a lt mre than that. Hence this bk, Chasing the Sea: Lst Amng the Ghsts f Empire in Central Asia, which talks abut a rad trip frm Tashkent t Karakalpakstan, where millins f lives have been destryed by the slw drying up f the sea. It is the stry f an American travelling t a strange land, and f the peple he meets n his way: Rustam, his translatr, a lvely 24-year-ld wh picked up his clrful English in Califrnia, Oleg and Natasha, his hsts in Tashkent, and a string f freign aid wrkers.
This is a quick lk at life in Uzbekistan, made f friendliness and warmth, but als its darker side f sciety. In Samarkand, Mr Bissell admires the architectural wnders, while n his way t Bukhara he gets a taste f plice methds when suspected f drug dealing. In Ferghana, he attends a muntain funeral(葬礼)fllwed by a strange drinking party. And in Karakalpakstan, he is saddened by the dust strms, diseases and fishing bats stuck miles frm the sea.
Mr Bissell skillfully rganizes histrical insights and cultural references, making his tale a well-runded picture f Uzbekistan, seen frm Western eyes. His judgment and references are decidedly American, as well as his delicate stmach. As the authr explains, this is neither a travel nr a histry bk, r even a piece f reprtage. Whatever it is, the result is a fine and vivid descriptin f the purest f Central Asian traditins.
24. What made Mr Bissell return t Uzbekistan?
A. His friends' invitatin.B. His interest in the cuntry.
C. His lve fr teaching.D. His desire t regain health.
25. What des the underlined wrd “that” in paragraph 2 refer t?
A. Develping a serius mental disease.
B. Taking a guided tur in Central Asia.
C. Wrking as a vlunteer in Uzbekistan.
D. Writing an article abut the Aral Sea.
26. Which f the fllwing best describes Mr Bissell's rad trip in Uzbekistan?
A. Rmantic.B. Eventful.C. Pleasant.D. Dangerus.
27. What is the purpse f this text?
A. T intrduce a bk.B. T explain a cultural phenmenn.
C. T remember a writer.D. T recmmend a travel destinatin.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. B 27. A
【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了Bissell写的《追逐大海:迷失在中亚帝国的幽灵》这本书。这本书是Bissell在乌兹别克斯坦做志愿者后写的，是对乌兹别克斯坦人生活的一个快速观察。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的”A few years later, still attracted t the cuntry. he returned t Uzbekistan t write an article abut the disappearance f the Ara Sea”可知，几年后，Bissell仍然被这个国家所吸引。他回到乌兹别克斯坦写了一篇关于咸海消失的文章。因此推断出对这个国家的兴趣让Bissell先生再次返回乌兹别克斯坦。故选B。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。划线句是第二段首句，that用来指代上文提的事情，因此推断that指代写了一篇关于咸海消失的文章这件事，根据第一段最后一句”A few years later, still attracted t the cuntry, he returned t Uzbekistan t write an article abut the disappearance f the Aral Sea(几年后，仍然被这个国家所吸引。他回到乌兹别克斯坦写了一篇关于咸海消失的文章)”可知，that指代写了一篇关于死海消失的文章这件事，故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段”This is a quick lk at life in Uzbekistan, made f friendliness and warmth, but als its darker side f sciety. In Samarkand, Mr Bissell admires the architectural wnders, while n his way t Bukhara he gets a taste f plice methds when suspected f drug dealing. In Ferghana, he attends a muntain funeral(葬礼)fllwed by a strange drinking party. And in Karakalpakstan, he is saddened by the dust strms, diseases and fishing bats stuck miles frm the sea.”可知，在乌兹别克斯坦的旅途中，Mr Bissell既体会到了友善和温暖，也看到了社会的黑暗面。在撒马尔罕，Mr Bissell欣赏到了的建筑奇观。在前往布哈拉的路上，他因为被怀疑进行毒品交易，他尝到了警察的伎俩。在费尔干纳，他参加了一个山区葬礼，然后参加了一个奇怪的酒会。在卡拉卡尔帕克斯坦，他为沙尘暴、疾病和被困在数英里外的渔船而难过。由此可知，在旅途中，他经历了很多事情。结合选项，B选项(充满事件的，多事的)可以表达此意。故选B。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。文章第一段提到书的作者的乌兹别克斯坦之行，引出他写的书，接下来三段讲述了他的书《追逐大海:迷失在中亚帝国的幽灵》的故事内容，是乌兹别克斯坦生活的一个快速观察。因此推断本文的写作目的是介绍一本书。故选A。

Chinese painting, r Guhua, is a centuries-ld art frm that weaves tgether ink, brushstrkes (笔触), and deep philsphical insights. Rted in ancient traditins, it fcuses n “Xie Yi” and “Yi Jing”. Its gal is t capture the essence f a subject rather than its physical appearance, inviting viewers t engage with the artist’s inner wrld.

In the 20th century, artists like Qi Baishi changed traditinal styles by mixing ink painting with Western ideas. He painted shrimp with smth, lively brushstrkes that make them lk alive. Wu Guanzhng tried new ways t paint landscapes with ink, while tday’s artists even mix Chinese calligraphy with cmputer art. Hwever, Chinese painting still acts as a bridge cnnecting ld and new — like a petic picture that shws the heart f Chinese culture in every brushstrke.
28. What is the main functin f Xuan paper in Chinese painting accrding t the passage?
A. It is the nly symbl f Chinese painting.

【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. A
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国画的工具材料、艺术风格、题材内涵及现当代发展，强调其以“写意”和“意境”为核心的美学理念，以及贯穿古今的文化哲学价值。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Xuan paper, knwn fr its absrbency, and ink sticks rubbed n ink stnes prduce varying tnes f black. (宣纸因其吸水性而闻名，与墨锭在砚台上研磨后能产生深浅不同的墨色)”可知，宣纸的吸水性是实现墨色层次的关键。故选D项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Gngbi, r detailed painting, requires great care, using fine lines and bright clrs t shw ryal scenes r birds and flwers. Xieyi, r freehand painting, fcuses n natural expressin and emtin, ften seen in landscapes that use ink washes t create misty muntains r flwing rivers. (工笔，又称细笔画，需要极其细致的技法，通过精细的线条和鲜艳的色彩来表现宫廷场景或花鸟题材。写意，或称徒手作画，则注重自然流露的情感和意境，常见于山水画中，运用水墨晕染来营造云雾缭绕的山峦或奔流不息的江河)”可知，写意画与工笔画的主要区别在于前者更注重情感表达而非精细描绘。故选B项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In the 20th century, artists like Qi Baishi changed traditinal styles by mixing ink painting with Western ideas. He painted shrimp with smth, lively brushstrkes that make them lk alive. Wu Guanzhng tried new ways t paint landscapes with ink, while tday’s artists even mix Chinese calligraphy with cmputer art. (20世纪，齐白石等艺术家通过将水墨画与西方理念相融合，开创了传统风格的革新。他以流畅生动的笔触描绘虾，使其跃然纸上。吴冠中则尝试用笔墨探索山水画的新表现方式，而当代艺术家更将中国书法与数字艺术相结合)”可知，齐白石将水墨画与西方理念相融合，吴冠中用笔墨探索山水画的新表现方式，两人均在传统基础上创新。由此推知，作者是以他们这样的艺术家为例说明传统的演进。故选C项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Chinese painting, r Guhua, is a centuries-ld art frm that weaves tgether ink, brushstrkes (笔触), and deep philsphical insights. Rted in ancient traditins, it fcuses n “Xie Yi” and “Yi Jing”. (中国画，又称国画，是一种源远流长的艺术形式，它将水墨、笔触与深邃的哲学思想融为一体。植根于古老传统，国画注重“写意”与“意境”的表现)”可知，文章通过工具材料、艺术风格、题材内涵及现当代发展四个维度，系统阐述了中国画如何承载哲学思想与文化价值，因此A项“探索中国画的文化和哲学根源”是其核心主题。故选A项。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了无家可归的动物面临的困境以及人们可以帮助它们的几种方式，包括收养宠物、做志愿者和为动物捐款等。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Hmeless animals are usually left withut a permanent hme when their wners give them up r they're fund n the street. With millins f animals living in shelters every year, there aren't enugh peple t take them in. (当主人放弃它们或者它们被发现在街上时，无家可归的动物通常没有一个永久的家。每年有数以百万计的动物生活在收容所里，却没有足够的人收养它们)”可知，很多无家可归的动物因为没人收养而生活在收容所里，这就导致很多动物得不到它们需要的关爱。与D项“S, many animals dn't get the lve and care that they need (所以，很多动物得不到它们需要的爱和关怀)”表达的含义一致，故选D项。
【37题详解】
根据上文“When yu adpt an animal frm a shelter r rescue grup, yu save tw lives.(当你从动物收容所或救援组织领养一只动物时，你拯救了两条生命)”以及下文“but als yu've made rm at the shelter fr anther hmeless cat r dg. (而且你还为收容所里的另一只无家可归的猫或狗腾出了空间)”可知，上文说的是当你从动物收容所或救援组织领养一只动物时，你拯救了两条生命，下文说的是你还为收容所里的另一只无家可归的猫或狗腾出了空间，可推理出空白处说的是有关你从动物收容所或救援组织领养动物给你带来的感受，而且此处运用了“nt als...”结构，与E项“Nt nly can yu feel gd abut saving the pet yu adpted (你不仅会因为拯救了你收养的宠物而感觉良好)”构成“nt als...”结构，符合语境，故选E项。
【38题详解】
根据下文“Whether yu like rlling up yur sleeves and cleaning cages, scializing with a few f yur kitten friends r wrking with numbers, yur skills and interests can make a huge impact n the lives f hmeless pets in yur cmmunity. (无论你是喜欢卷起袖子打扫笼子，和你的一些小猫朋友交往，还是处理数字，你的技能和兴趣都能对你所在社区无家可归的宠物的生活产生巨大影响)”可知，无论你是喜欢卷起袖子打扫笼子，和你的一些小猫朋友交往，还是处理数字，这些都能对你所在社区无家可归的宠物的生活产生巨大影响，可推理出这里主要讲的是人们可以通过做志愿者来帮助无家可归的动物，与A项“Vlunteer with animals (做与动物相关的志愿者)”表达的意思一致，故选A项。
【39题详解】
根据下文“Shelters and rescue grups rely n fster(收养的)families t take in dgs and cats n a shrt-term basis. (收容所和救援组织依靠寄养家庭短期收留猫和狗)”可知，此处提到了寄养家庭收留动物，与C项“Fstering is a fun way t get lts f helpful hands-n time (寄养是一种有趣的方式，可以获得很多有用的实际操作时间)”中“Fstering”相呼应，且C项进一步说明了寄养的好处，符合语境，故选C项。
【40题详解】
根据本段标题“Dnate t the animals (为动物捐款)”以及下文“Cnsider paying it frward by spnsring(发起)a pet's adptin r dnating fd, cleaning supplies, blankets r twels t yur lcal rescue. Yu can als help animals right frm yur cmputer r phne by dnating items frm the Best Friends Amazn wish list. (考虑通过赞助宠物收养或向当地的救援组织捐赠食物、清洁用品、毯子或毛巾来传递爱心。你也可以通过电脑或手机，从“最好的朋友”亚马逊愿望清单中捐赠物品来帮助动物)”可知，这一段主要讲的是为动物捐款的相关内容，与G项“Whenever yu give smething t a shelter r a rescue grup in yur cmmunity, yu're helping t save lives (每当你向社区里的收容所或救援组织捐赠东西时，你就是在帮助拯救生命)”表达的意思一致，且G项强调了捐赠的意义，符合这一段的主题，故选G项。
