第二部分　閱讀（共兩節，滿分50分）

A
　　Skip the West End and discover some exciting， theatrical treasures — maybe in a pub or under a railway station — in one of London’s many alternative theatres. If you want to experience the glorious rush of discovering a five-star show in a 50-capacity auditorium， for a ￡10 ticket， off-West End is the way to go.
　　Theatre 503
　　Through the always-buzzing Latchmere Pub， up a very narrow staircase， and beyond a dinky foyer （門廳）， you will find yourself at Theatre 503. It can hold 63 people at a time， which is a tight squeeze even then. But it’s well worth the intimacy （親密感） that you’ll necessarily share with your neighbour for the outstanding productions.
　　King’s Head Theatre
　　Perhaps the perfect example of London pub theatre， the King’s Head has been in business since the early 1970s. The King’s Head is consistent only in its stubborn refusal to be pigeonholed （歸類） or， indeed to be made into anything else. It feels like London theatre’s uncle who still wears ripped jeans and listens to cool music， refusing to give up its idealistic integrity for something perhaps more sensible but far less fun.
　　Soho Theatre
　　An institution that hardly needs introducing， Soho Theatre has been at the forefront for new writing and comedy for decades， producing some of the most exciting new talent on the scene today. As the name suggests， the theatre sits in the centre of Soho， and its bar has become a hub for artists and audiences alike.
　　Vaults Theatre
　　A truly unique place made up of eleven disused train tunnels below Waterloo station， with an atmosphere all of its own. Not only is Vaults Theatre home to some of the most thrilling immersive and alternative theatre， it’s also leading the way in accessibility， offering a pay-what-you-can ticket price on Wednesdays and Sundays as of Autumn 2024.
21.How long has been King’s Head Theatre in business？（　　）
A.About 50 years.　　　　　　 B.Less than 40 years.
C.More than 60 years. D.More than 70 years.
22.Which is named after its location？（　　）
A.Vaults Theatre. B.King’s Head Theatre.
C.Soho Theatre. D.Theatre 503.
23.Which of the following made use of old railways？（　　）
A.Theatre 503. B.King’s Head Theatre.
C.Soho Theatre. D.Vaults Theatre.
B
　　A group of middle-aged dads formed a dance team to perform at their kids’ school but unexpectedly gained popularity on social media， having over 300，000 followers — one of them is famous actor Hugh Jackman. The “Outta” Puff Daddys first came together in 2012 in Brighton for a surprise performance at their children’s annual dance show.
　　Having never danced as a job before and ranging in age from 42 to 60， the dads were taught by their kids’ street dance teacher for the surprise performance. They received a good reception， so they decided to carry on permanently.
　　Paul Jukes， 48， said dancing together has enabled the members to get through unemployment and anxiety. “Even though I’m the leader and artistic director of the team， I’m not normally the most confident guy，” said Jukes， whose team name is Jukebox. “If we’re in a party situation， we’re off at the side， but when we’re together those inhibitions （拘束感） are lost， and we just accept life to the fullest.”
　　The dance team members remember the moment when they surprised their kids at the dance show. “We performed at the Brighton Dome which seats 2，000 people， so for our first live dance performance， it was quite something. We took the roof off，” Jukes said. “The noise was crazy and of course， the kids in the audience were blown away. They were shouting， ‘Hang on a second； that’s your dad.’ Most people might think our kids would be embarrassed by us but none of them had that feeling. All our families and kids were really supportive and really loved it. And it has been considered cool by them to have such a large following on Instagram.” The team has to adapt to its members’ changing bodies as they get older， but that has not stopped them from continuing to dream big， which sets a good example to their kids.
24.What’s special about the dance team？（　　）
A.It helps with school dance instructions. B.Its members are all inexperienced.
C.It regularly posts videos on social media. D.Its members are guided by famous dancers.
25.How has the dance team influenced Paul Jukes？（　　）
A.It has inspired him to take up new hobbies.
B.It has improved his health and leadership skills.
C.It has strengthened his relationship with his family.
D.It has helped him build confidence in a tough time.
26.How did the kids react to their dads’ dance performance？（　　）
A.They were amazed and proud of their dads.
B.They were embarrassed but showed understanding.
C.They considered following Jukebox on social media.
D.They joined their dads to complete the performance together.
27.What is the best title for the text？（　　）
A.Dancing Is Beneficial to People of All Ages
B.Talented Dads Celebrate Their Kids’ Interest
C.A Dance Team Consisting of Middle-Aged Dads Goes Viral
D.A Dance Team Is Winning Popularity Among Adults
C
　　The Garden， written by Charlayne Woodard （who also stars alongside Caroline Stefanie Clay） and directed by Patricia McGregor， now available to stream from Baltimore Center Stage， is a powerfully moving portrait of a mother and daughter wrestling with each other， the past， and their differing journeys as black women in America.
　　The play is set in present-day New York in the backyard garden of Claire Rose.While she’s tending tomatoes and cucumbers， her daughter Cassandra shows up unannounced from Seattle after a three-year absence.Claire Rose is surprised.Cassandra obviously came for a reason， but keeps getting sidetracked from providing an explanation by ongoing quarreling （爭吵） and reminiscing （回憶） with Claire Rose.This quarreling ends up unearthing far more truth than either woman was expecting to dig up in the garden that day.
　　Charlayne Woodard and Caroline Stefanie Clay both excel in their roles in this two-person cast.Whether she is lecturing or scolding （責罵） or overwhelmed with loving concern， Clay uses both her speech patterns and gestures to add the right emphasis and intention to every moment.Woodard is equally able， finding the right balance between portraying her numerous frustrations and disappointments with her mother while still showing us her love and longing for the woman who she struggles to understand.
　　The set， designed by Rachel Hauck， drew me in right away.Raised garden beds， full of ready-to-harvest autumn crops， a greenhouse， and an abundance of pots and garden tools made me want to settle in and get my hands dirty！
　　By the conclusion of the play， the ladies have performed a thorough weeding of their relationship.This play left me with a deep sense of discovery and a longing to engage in further thoughtful reflection on the path I’d traveled.I highly recommend The Garden as a thoughtfully crafted （構思的） masterpiece exploring the ways that a family can grow apart but， with a little tending， find themselves replanted in each other’s hearts.
28.What can we learn about The Garden？（　　）
A.It is performed by the writer and her real-life mother.
B.It explores the complex mother-daughter relationship.
C.It is adapted from a novel of the same name.
D.It appeals to black Americans.
29.What makes Claire Rose surprised？（　　）
A.Cassandra’s gardening skills. B.Cassandra’s unexpected visit.
C.Cassandra’s three-year absence. D.Cassandra’s eagerness to make up.
30.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “excel” in Paragraph 3？（　　）
A.Get deeply lost. B.Become popular.
C.Show great creativity. D.Perform wonderfully.
31.What can we infer about the author？（　　）
A.She has traveled a lot. B.She is interested in gardening.
C.She is a professional stage actor. D.She has a deep love for the play.
D
　　People who write dramas， also called plays， are known as playwrights or dramatists.Some popular types of dramas include comedy， tragedy， farce （滑稽戲），opera and docudramas.Now， I’d like to tell you something about them.
Lighter in tone， comedies try to make the audience laugh and usually come to a happy edies put unusual characters in special situations， causing them to do and say funny edies can also be sarcastic （諷刺的） in nature， creating fun at serious topics.There are also several different types of comedies， including the romantic comedy， the comedy of manners and so on.
　　Tragedy is based on darker themes.Generally， tragedies show serious subjects like death， disaster， and human suffering in a way that makes the audience think.Hardly enjoying happy endings， characters in tragedies， like Shakespeare’s Hamlet， are often troubled by their character flaws （缺點） that finally lead to their death.
　　A farce is a type of drama in which characters overact and present physical humor.Examples of farce include the play Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett and the hit Airplane！in 1980.
Opera is a type of drama which combines theater， literature， music， and dance to tell stories of tragedy or comedy.Since characters express their feelings through singing rather than dialogue， performers must be both skilled actors and singers.La Bohème by Giacomo Puccini and Falstaff by Giuseppe Verdi are classic examples of opera.
A docudrama is another kind of drama.Docudramas talk about historic events or non-fictional situations， which are more often presented on television than in movie theaters.Popular examples of docudramas include the movies Apollo 13 and 12 Years a Slave.
32.What do we know about comedies？（　　）
A.They don’t talk about serious topics.
B.They usually don’t have sad endings.
C.There’re always some arguments in them.
D.There’re four kinds of comedies mentioned.
33.How would people most probably feel when watching the play Waiting for Godot according to the text？（　　）
A.Worried. B.Pleased.
C.Upset. D.Confused.
34.In dramas like La Bohème， performers are required to 　　　　.（　　）
A.say something funny B.present physical humor
C.be good at acting and singing D.tell stories through dialogue
35.Who would most probably love to watch docudramas？（　　）
A.Girls loving romantic stories. B.Children loving funny stories.
C.People interested in real events in history. D.People interested in science fiction.
第二節（共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分）
閱讀下面短文，從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
　　Villains （反派角色） are some of the most memorable characters in films， but when we think of successful villains， they might show different features. In Star Wars， Emperor Palpatine is unable to understand others. It is not the same with Darth Vader， another bad guy in the movie — yet they are both clearly successful villains. The difference raises one question.36.（　　）
　　Firstly， a horrible personal look can help to create frightening villains.37.（　　） For example， in Martin Scorsese’s films， villains with scars （疤痕） on their faces usually wear expensive suits while attacking people， which encourages audience to be afraid of their power.
　　Secondly， effective villains also have to test heroes in the story.38.（　　） In Whiplash， the extremely strict jazz teacher never accepted any mistakes， and he often punished his students heavily. The hero， Andrew， one of his students with a strong will， was tested by having to face such a frightening villain again and again.
　　Here comes the last trick.39.（　　） To become memorable and achieve a lasting place in filming history， a villain needs to have a purpose or motivation （動機）. In Misery， the nurse Annie keeps her favourite writer， Paul， a prisoner. What’s her motivation？She wants him to rewrite his next chapter as she is unhappy with the ending of his latest work.40.（　　）
　　Next time you find yourself watching a villain on-screen， see which of these tricks have been used to make them particularly memorable！
A.They can’t just be beaten easily.
B.What makes a successful villain？
C.Are villains really necessary in all films？
D.The film is well organized in terms of the storyline.
E.It’s necessary for a villain to be bad with a purpose.
F.This sense of fear can be achieved in different ways.
G.The screenwriter gave her a reason to move the story forward.

　　Once there lived a girl named Melanie. The little girl was living with a dream. She wanted to be a ballet dancer. Her body was very flexible and she had strong willpower. Melanie’s parents never knew of the great dancing skills their daughter had until one day， they saw the little girl dancing with the beautiful steps of a ballerina.
　　“Isn’t it strange？ Melanie is dancing so well without any formal training！” the mother said.
　　“We must give her ballet lessons to help her improve her skills，” her father said.
　　The following day， Melanie’s parents took her to a local dance training school. The teacher asked Melanie to dance. The little girl was happy and showed some of her favourite dance steps. However， the teacher didn’t seem interested in her performance.
　　“That’s OK. You can leave now！” the teacher said.
　　Melanie was shocked to hear this. So were her parents. They couldn’t believe their ears.
　　“The girl is common. She does not have the possibility to become a ballerina，” the dance teacher said. “Don’t let her waste her time dreaming of becoming a dancer.”
　　Disappointed， Melanie and her parents returned home. Tears rolled down Melanie’s face. Her dreams were broken within a matter of minutes. Without confidence， Melanie never attempted to dance again. She completed her studies and went on to become a teacher in school. Life was good and she kept herself busy with family and work. However， whenever she happened to pass the school’s ballet room， memories of childhood dreams danced before her eyes.

M：It’s five fifty. Let’s hurry. There’s ten minutes left.
（Text 2）
M：Excuse me， Madam. I’d like to choose some flowers for my mother’s birthday.
W：Let me see. These fresh roses are very nice.
（Text 3）
M：What is Bill’s new house like？
W：It’s really nice， and not very far from his workplace， but he is tired of hearing the planes flying overhead all day long.
（Text 4）
W：Say， what’s your favourite sport？
M：Hmm ... It’s hard to say. I like golf and basketball a lot， and tennis better， but I guess swimming is my favorite.
（Text 5）
M：What do you think of my paper？
W：The ideas are good. If I were you， though， I’d write the last two paragraphs again to make it a little clearer.
（Text 6）
M：Can you tell me how to get to the TV station by bus？
W：Take bus No. 22. Don’t get off until the fifth stop， which is Silver Road.
M：Silver Road？ Aren’t there many bars？
W：Yes. Many foreigners like to go there. It will take you an hour to get there if the traffic lights are working properly.
M：I have an interview at 2：30 pm. I don’t think I should go there by bus.
W：Why not take the subway？ Go down this road until you reach the first set of traffic lights. Turn right and you’ll see the station.
M：You are right. Thank you very much.
W：My pleasure.
（Text 7）
W：Good morning， Mr Smith. I must apologise to you for making so much noise last night.
M：I think so. My wife and I couldn’t sleep for the whole night.
W：I’m extremely sorry， Mr Smith. There was a great football match between China and Japan on TV.
M：Really？ I thought you were having a party.
W：And Anna Wilkinson who lives upstairs thought I was quarreling with my father again.
M：Anyway， it’s a pity that I missed the game. What was the result？
W：The Chinese football team won in the end. I was so excited that I forgot the time.
M：That’s good news. Please call me so that we can watch some games together next time.
（Text 8）
W：Good morning. This is the Dongfeng Hotel. Can I help you？

W：Please give me a minute to check. I am sorry. We don’t have any rooms available in June.
M：Hmm ... Until May 31st would be OK.
W：Alright. Mr John Smith， a single room with a shower from May 20th to May 31st.

W：No， that’s not necessary. We can accept US dollars.
M：Can I use a credit card to pay？ It won’t be very convenient for me to take so much money with me.

M：Thank you. Goodbye！
（Text 9）
W：Before beginning our sightseeing tour in China， I’d be glad to know if you have anything special in mind that you’d like to see.
M：It doesn’t matter to me， wherever we go. You can choose some scenic spots that you like， honey. I’d like to read the newspaper now.
W：You can make some suggestions， too. I don’t have anything in mind at present.
M：OK， then. What about the Great Wall — one of the seven wonders of the world？ We wouldn’t want to leave China without seeing it.
W：Is it far from here？
M：No， I’ve checked that on the Internet. It’s only about 50 kilometers. Just an hour and a half’s trip by car.
W：Good！ And we’ve heard quite a lot about the Summer Palace. I’d like to see that， too.
M：All right. The Summer Palace. And there are a number of other interesting places， such as the Temple of Heaven， the Ming Tombs and so on. Let’s watch some TV now.
W：No， you should start to prepare some food now.
（Text 10）
W：Good morning， Mr Black. You said you would give us an introduction to Chinese dragons this time. Shall we begin now？
M：OK. We are not quite certain how Chinese dragons first came about. Some people believed that they ruled over water， such as waterfalls， rivers and the ocean. In the eyes of Europeans， dragons are considered to be evil creatures， but in China， Chinese dragons mean power， strength and good luck. The Chinese dragon is present in many aspects of Chinese life. In the Chinese language， people that are considered to be excellent are compared to dragons， while people associated with failure are compared to other living things， such as insects.Only emperors were able to use dragons， and both emperors and dragons are related to the lucky number nine. The number nine is also linked with dragons in the way that people describe them as being made up of nine different animals.
The dragon is sometimes used in the West to stand for China. Instead， it is seen as an example of culture in China. In Hong Kong， the dragon is used in the design of “Brand Hong Kong”， an image used to promote Hong Kong as an international brand name.

31.D　推理判斷題。根據最后一段中的I highly recommend ... 可知，作者很喜歡《花園》這部戲劇。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了喜劇、悲劇、滑稽戲、歌劇和紀實片的特點。
32.B　細節理解題。根據第二段第一句可知，喜劇通常會有一個美滿的結局。
33.B　推理判斷題。根據第四段內容可知，滑稽戲中的角色通過夸張的方式表達肢體的幽默。由此推斷，當人們觀看《等待戈多》這樣的戲劇時，最可能的感受是快樂的。
34.C　細節理解題。根據倒數第二段中的Since characters express their feelings ... examples of opera.可知，在像La Bohème這樣的戲劇中，表演者需要擅長表演和唱歌。
35.C　推理判斷題。根據最后一段中Docudramas talk about historic events or non-fictional situations可知，紀實片講述的是歷史事件或非虛構的情況。由此可推斷，對歷史上的真實事件感興趣的人最有可能喜歡看紀實片。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。電影中的反派角色經常令人記憶深刻，文章介紹了如何成功地塑造一個反派角色。
36.B　根據上文的The difference raises one question.可知，設空處應是一個問句，答案應該選自B項或C項；根據第二、三、四段內容可知，這三段主要介紹了如何才能塑造一個成功的反派角色，是對B項（是什么塑造了成功的反派角色？）的具體回答。故選B項。
37.F　根據第二段第一句可知，看起來非常可怕的外表可以幫助塑造令人恐懼的反派角色，F項（這種恐懼感可以通過不同的方式實現）承接上文內容，且下一句說明了可以用什么方式來營造恐懼感，是對F項的舉例說明。
38.A　第三段第一句指出“有效的反派角色也要考驗故事中的英雄”，A項中的They指的是effective villains，是對上一句的引申說明，且下文中的實例闡述反派角色會不斷為主人公帶來阻礙和考驗，解釋了反派角色通常不會輕易被打敗。故A項（他們不可能被輕易打敗）符合語境。
39.E　根據下一句可知，此處介紹要想讓人印象深刻并在電影史上占據一席之地，反派角色需要有目的或動機，E項（反派必須是有目的的壞人）與其照應，下一句是對E項的進一步解釋說明。
40.G　根據上一句可知，此處介紹她的目的，G項（編劇給了她一個把故事向前推進的理由）符合語境。G項中的her與上一句的she相呼應。
第三部分
語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要描述了英國電視喜劇《憨豆先生》當中的一幕：憨豆先生狼狽地把生漢堡肉東藏西藏，甚至藏到一位女士的錢包里。作者喜歡在電視上看憨豆先生的表演，但并不想在現實生活中遇到像憨豆先生這樣的人。
41.C　根據設空后的puts it into an envelope并結合選項可知應選card， 下文中的birthday card為原詞復現。
42.B　根據上下文可知，憨豆先生把卡片塞進信封，然后放在了桌子上。
43.C　根據空后的but可知，此處表示轉折，指憨豆先生假裝不知道信封在桌子上。
44.D　根據下文憨豆先生點餐可知，此時他正在看菜單。
45.A　根據設空后的on his face可知，他的臉上很快露出了驚訝的表情。
46.B　根據下文中的He then looks from the menu to the money可知，這里是說他把所有的錢都從口袋里拿了出來。
47.D　前面提到憨豆先生看到菜單時，臉上很快露出了驚訝的表情，然后他把自己的錢拿出來，數好后放在茶托上。由此可以推知，憨豆先生的錢應該是不夠，所以此處應該是“擔憂地”。
48.B　根據上下文可知，此處指憨豆先生點了一道名為“韃靼牛排”的菜。
49.A　根據下文的raw （生的） hamburger meat可知，“韃靼牛排”實際上是生漢堡肉，這讓他感到很震驚。
50.C　參見上題解析。
51.C　clear意為“清楚的，明顯的”。
52.A　根據設空后的except when the waiter asks whether everything is OK.He smiles and nods可知，憨豆先生沒能隱藏住自己的感受，除了當服務員問他是否一切都好的時候。
53.C　根據設空前的He smiles and nods可知，憨豆先生用微笑和點頭表示一切都很好。indicate意為“表明”。
54.D　busy oneself doing sth意為“使自己忙于做某事”。
55.D　根據下文可知，最后，憨豆先生太失望了，以至于他甚至把肉藏到了旁邊一位女士的錢包里。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章介紹了劉如英從小受到爺爺的影響對京劇產生了極大的熱愛，在一次活動中用英語向世界介紹京劇的故事。
56.whose　考查定語從句。分析句子結構可知，空處引導非限制性定語從句，先行詞是Liu Ruying，定語從句中缺少定語，故填whose。
57.on/upon　考查介詞。a great influence on/upon sb意為“對某人的巨大影響”。故填on。
58.began　考查動詞的時態。根據At the age of 8可知，空處應用一般過去時。故填began。
59.to experience　考查非謂語動詞。分析句子結構可知，It為形式主語，空處為動詞不定式作真正的主語。故填to experience。
60.courses　考查名詞的單復數。course是可數名詞，前面有other限定，應用復數形式。故填courses。
61.introducing　考查非謂語動詞。分析句子結構可知，空處為介詞of的賓語，應用動詞-ing形式。故填introducing。
62.the　考查冠詞。with the help of意為“在……的幫助下”，故填the。
63.extremely　考查詞形轉換。分析句子結構可知，空處為句子狀語部分，修飾動詞love， 應用副詞，故填extremely。
64.is considered　考查動詞的時態和語態。分析句子結構可知，空處為句子并列謂語，表示“被認為是”，應用被動語態，根據Peking Opera has可知，應用一般現在時的被動語態形式。故填is considered。

第二節
　　One day， the ballet teacher in her school was late.Melanie was asked to keep an eye on the girls so that they would behave themselves. Once inside the ballet room， all her old memories flooded back. She couldn’t control herself anymore. She started by teaching some steps to the girls and then carried on dancing herself for some time. Unaware of the time and the people around her， Melanie was lost in her own little dancing world.
　　“What a perfect dance， Melanie！ You are a true ballerina！”said the ballet teacher entering the classroom.Hearing her voice， Melanie stopped dancing. She was embarrassed to see the teacher in front of her and was at a loss for words. This was the first time that someone had said she was a wonderful dancer. Then the teacher， who was shocked to see Melanie’s amazing skills， asked Melanie to visit a dance trainer with her. There has been no looking back for Melanie since then. Today， Melanie is a world-famous ballet dancer.

（Text 2）
M：Excuse me， Madam. I’d like to choose some flowers for my
mother’s birthday.
W：Let me see. These fresh roses are very nice.
（Text 3）
M：What is Bill’s new house like？
W：It’s really nice， and not very far from his workplace， but he is
tired of hearing the planes flying overhead all day long.
（Text 4）
W：Say， what’s your favourite sport？
M：Hmm ... It’s hard to say. I like golf and basketball a lot， and
tennis better， but I guess swimming is my favorite.
（Text 5）
M：What do you think of my paper？
W：The ideas are good. If I were you， though， I’d write the last two
paragraphs again to make it a little clearer.
（Text 6）
M：Can you tell me how to get to the TV station by bus？
W：Take bus No. 22. Don’t get off until the fifth stop， which is Silver
Road.
M：Silver Road？ Aren’t there many bars？
W：Yes. Many foreigners like to go there. It will take you an hour to get
there if the traffic lights are working properly.
M：I have an interview at 2：30 pm. I don’t think I should go there by
bus.
W：Why not take the subway？ Go down this road until you reach the

M：You are right. Thank you very much.
W：My pleasure.

my father again.
M：Anyway， it’s a pity that I missed the game. What was the result？

together next time.

M：Hmm ... Until May 31st would be OK.
W：Alright. Mr John Smith， a single room with a shower from May

W：Before beginning our sightseeing tour in China， I’d be glad to

scenic spots that you like， honey. I’d like to read the newspaper now.
W：You can make some suggestions， too. I don’t have anything in
mind at present.
M：OK， then. What about the Great Wall — one of the seven wonders
of the world？ We wouldn’t want to leave China without seeing it.
W：Is it far from here？
M：No， I’ve checked that on the Internet. It’s only about 50
kilometers. Just an hour and a half’s trip by car.
W：Good！ And we’ve heard quite a lot about the Summer Palace. I’d
like to see that， too.
M：All right. The Summer Palace. And there are a number of other
interesting places， such as the Temple of Heaven， the Ming Tombs and
so on. Let’s watch some TV now.
W：No， you should start to prepare some food now.
（Text 10）
W：Good morning， Mr Black. You said you would give us an
introduction to Chinese dragons this time. Shall we begin now？
M：OK. We are not quite certain how Chinese dragons first came about.
Some people believed that they ruled over water， such as waterfalls，
rivers and the ocean. In the eyes of Europeans， dragons are considered to
be evil creatures， but in China， Chinese dragons mean power， strength
and good luck. The Chinese dragon is present in many aspects of Chinese
life.
In the Chinese language， people that are considered to be excellent are
compared to dragons， while people associated with failure are compared
to other living things， such as insects.Only emperors were able to use
dragons， and both emperors and dragons are related to the lucky number
nine. The number nine is also linked with dragons in the way that people
describe them as being made up of nine different animals.
The dragon is sometimes used in the West to stand for China. Instead， it
is seen as an example of culture in China. In Hong Kong， the dragon is
used in the design of “Brand Hong Kong”， an image used to promote
Hong Kong as an international brand name.
第二部分　閱讀（共兩節，滿分50分）
第一節（共15小題；每小題2.5分，滿分37.5分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳
選項。
A
　　Skip the West End and discover some exciting， theatrical
treasures — maybe in a pub or under a railway station — in one of
London’s many alternative theatres. If you want to experience the
glorious rush of discovering a five-star show in a 50-capacity auditorium，
for a ￡10 ticket， off-West End is the way to go.
　　Through the always-buzzing Latchmere Pub， up a very narrow
staircase， and beyond a dinky foyer （門廳）， you will find yourself at
Theatre 503. It can hold 63 people at a time， which is a tight squeeze
even then. But it’s well worth the intimacy （親密感） that you’ll
necessarily share with your neighbour for the outstanding productions.
　　Theatre 503
　　King’s Head Theatre
　　Perhaps the perfect example of London pub theatre， the King’s
Head has been in business since the early 1970s. The King’s Head is
consistent only in its stubborn refusal to be pigeonholed （歸類） or，
indeed to be made into anything else. It feels like London theatre’s uncle
who still wears ripped jeans and listens to cool music， refusing to give up
its idealistic integrity for something perhaps more sensible but far less fun.
　　Soho Theatre
　　An institution that hardly needs introducing， Soho Theatre has been
at the forefront for new writing and comedy for decades， producing some
of the most exciting new talent on the scene today. As the name
suggests， the theatre sits in the centre of Soho， and its bar has become a
hub for artists and audiences alike.
　　
Vaults Theatre
　　A truly unique place made up of eleven disused train tunnels below
Waterloo station， with an atmosphere all of its own. Not only is Vaults
Theatre home to some of the most thrilling immersive and alternative
theatre， it’s also leading the way in accessibility， offering a pay-what-
you-can ticket price on Wednesdays and Sundays as of Autumn 2024.

　　A group of middle-aged dads formed a dance team to perform at their
kids’ school but unexpectedly gained popularity on social media，
having over 300，000 followers — one of them is famous actor Hugh
Jackman. The “Outta” Puff Daddys first came together in 2012 in
Brighton for a surprise performance at their children’s annual dance
show.
　　Having never danced as a job before and ranging in age from 42 to
60， the dads were taught by their kids’ street dance teacher for the
surprise performance. They received a good reception， so they decided
to carry on permanently.
　　Paul Jukes， 48， said dancing together has enabled the members to
get through unemployment and anxiety. “Even though I’m the leader
and artistic director of the team， I’m not normally the most confident
guy，” said Jukes， whose team name is Jukebox. “If we’re in a
party situation， we’re off at the side， but when we’re together those
inhibitions （拘束感） are lost， and we just accept life to the fullest.”
　　The dance team members remember the moment when they surprised
their kids at the dance show. “We performed at the Brighton Dome which
seats 2，000 people， so for our first live dance performance， it was
quite something. We took the roof off，” Jukes said. “The noise was
crazy and of course， the kids in the audience were blown away. They
were shouting， ‘Hang on a second； that’s your dad.’ Most people
might think our kids would be embarrassed by us but none of them had that
feeling. All our families and kids were really supportive and really loved
it.
And it has been considered cool by them to have such a large following on
Instagram.” The team has to adapt to its members’ changing bodies as
they get older， but that has not stopped them from continuing to dream
big， which sets a good example to their kids.

　　The Garden， written by Charlayne Woodard （who also stars
alongside Caroline Stefanie Clay） and directed by Patricia McGregor，
now available to stream from Baltimore Center Stage， is a powerfully
moving portrait of a mother and daughter wrestling with each other， the
past， and their differing journeys as black women in America.
　　The play is set in present-day New York in the backyard garden of
Claire Rose.While she’s tending tomatoes and cucumbers， her
daughter Cassandra shows up unannounced from Seattle after a three-year
absence.Claire Rose is surprised.Cassandra obviously came for a
reason， but keeps getting sidetracked from providing an explanation by
ongoing quarreling （爭吵） and reminiscing （回憶） with Claire
Rose.This quarreling ends up unearthing far more truth than either woman
was expecting to dig up in the garden that day.
　　Charlayne Woodard and Caroline Stefanie Clay both excel in their
roles in this two-person cast.Whether she is lecturing or scolding （責
罵） or overwhelmed with loving concern， Clay uses both her speech
patterns and gestures to add the right emphasis and intention to every
moment.Woodard is equally able， finding the right balance between
portraying her numerous frustrations and disappointments with her mother
while still showing us her love and longing for the woman who she
struggles to understand.
　　The set， designed by Rachel Hauck， drew me in right
away.Raised garden beds， full of ready-to-harvest autumn crops， a
greenhouse， and an abundance of pots and garden tools made me want to
settle in and get my hands dirty！
　　By the conclusion of the play， the ladies have performed a thorough
weeding of their relationship.This play left me with a deep sense of
discovery and a longing to engage in further thoughtful reflection on the
path I’d traveled.I highly recommend The Garden as a thoughtfully
crafted （構思的） masterpiece exploring the ways that a family can grow
apart but， with a little tending， find themselves replanted in each
other’s hearts.

　　People who write dramas， also called plays， are known as
playwrights or dramatists.Some popular types of dramas include
comedy， tragedy， farce （滑稽戲），opera and docudramas.Now，
I’d like to tell you something about them.
Lighter in tone， comedies try to make the audience laugh and
usually come to a happy edies put unusual characters in
special situations， causing them to do and say funny edies
can also be sarcastic （諷刺的） in nature， creating fun at serious
topics.There are also several different types of comedies， including the
romantic comedy， the comedy of manners and so on.
　　Tragedy is based on darker themes.Generally， tragedies show
serious subjects like death， disaster， and human suffering in a way that
makes the audience think.Hardly enjoying happy endings， characters in
tragedies， like Shakespeare’s Hamlet， are often troubled by their
character flaws （缺點） that finally lead to their death.
　　A farce is a type of drama in which characters overact and present
physical humor.Examples of farce include the play Waiting for Godot by
Samuel Beckett and the hit Airplane！in 1980.
Opera is a type of drama which combines theater， literature，
music， and dance to tell stories of tragedy or comedy.Since characters
express their feelings through singing rather than dialogue， performers
must be both skilled actors and singers.La Bohème by Giacomo Puccini
and Falstaff by Giuseppe Verdi are classic examples of opera.

第二節（共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分）
閱讀下面短文，從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選
項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
　　Villains （反派角色） are some of the most memorable characters in
films， but when we think of successful villains， they might show
different features. In Star Wars， Emperor Palpatine is unable to
understand others. It is not the same with Darth Vader， another bad guy
in the movie — yet they are both clearly successful villains. The
difference raises one question.36.（　　）
　　Firstly， a horrible personal look can help to create frightening
villains.37.（　　） For example， in Martin Scorsese’s films，
villains with scars （疤痕） on their faces usually wear expensive suits
while attacking people， which encourages audience to be afraid of their
power.
　　Secondly， effective villains also have to test heroes in the story.38.
（　　） In Whiplash， the extremely strict jazz teacher never accepted
any mistakes， and he often punished his students heavily. The hero，
Andrew， one of his students with a strong will， was tested by having to
face such a frightening villain again and again.
　　Here comes the last trick.39.（　　） To become memorable and
achieve a lasting place in filming history， a villain needs to have a
purpose or motivation （動機）. In Misery， the nurse Annie keeps her
favourite writer， Paul， a prisoner. What’s her motivation？She wants
him to rewrite his next chapter as she is unhappy with the ending of his
latest work.40.（　　）
　　Next time you find yourself watching a villain on-screen， see which
of these tricks have been used to make them particularly memorable！
A. They can’t just be beaten easily.
B. What makes a successful villain？
C. Are villains really necessary in all films？
D. The film is well organized in terms of the storyline.
E. It’s necessary for a villain to be bad with a purpose.
F. This sense of fear can be achieved in different ways.
G. The screenwriter gave her a reason to move the story forward.

刻，文章介紹了如何成功地塑造一個反派角色。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。電影中的反派角色經常令人記憶深
刻，文章介紹了如何成功地塑造一個反派角色。
36. B　根據上文的The difference raises one question.可知，設空處應
是一個問句，答案應該選自B項或C項；根據第二、三、四段內容可
知，這三段主要介紹了如何才能塑造一個成功的反派角色，是對B項
（是什么塑造了成功的反派角色？）的具體回答。故選B項。
37. F　根據第二段第一句可知，看起來非常可怕的外表可以幫助塑造
令人恐懼的反派角色，F項（這種恐懼感可以通過不同的方式實現）
承接上文內容，且下一句說明了可以用什么方式來營造恐懼感，是對
F項的舉例說明。
38. A　第三段第一句指出“有效的反派角色也要考驗故事中的英
雄”，A項中的They指的是effective villains，是對上一句的引申說
明，且下文中的實例闡述反派角色會不斷為主人公帶來阻礙和考驗，
解釋了反派角色通常不會輕易被打敗。故A項（他們不可能被輕易打
敗）符合語境。
39. E　根據下一句可知，此處介紹要想讓人印象深刻并在電影史上
占據一席之地，反派角色需要有目的或動機，E項（反派必須是有目
的的壞人）與其照應，下一句是對E項的進一步解釋說明。
40. G　根據上一句可知，此處介紹她的目的，G項（編劇給了她
一個把故事向前推進的理由）符合語境。G項中的her與上一句的
she相呼應。
第三部分　語言運用（共兩節，滿分30分）

成一篇完整的短文。
　　Once there lived a girl named Melanie. The little girl was living with
a dream. She wanted to be a ballet dancer. Her body was very flexible and
she had strong willpower. Melanie’s parents never knew of the great
dancing skills their daughter had until one day， they saw the little girl
dancing with the beautiful steps of a ballerina.
　　“Isn’t it strange？ Melanie is dancing so well without any formal
training！” the mother said.
　　“We must give her ballet lessons to help her improve her skills，”
her father said.
　　The following day， Melanie’s parents took her to a local dance
training school. The teacher asked Melanie to dance. The little girl was
happy and showed some of her favourite dance steps. However， the
teacher didn’t seem interested in her performance.
　　“That’s OK. You can leave now！” the teacher said.
　　Melanie was shocked to hear this. So were her parents. They
couldn’t believe their ears.
　　“The girl is common. She does not have the possibility to become a
ballerina，” the dance teacher said. “Don’t let her waste her time
dreaming of becoming a dancer.”
　　Disappointed， Melanie and her parents returned home. Tears rolled
down Melanie’s face. Her dreams were broken within a matter of
minutes. Without confidence， Melanie never attempted to dance again.
She completed her studies and went on to become a teacher in school. Life
was good and she kept herself busy with family and work. However，
whenever she happened to pass the school’s ballet room， memories of
childhood dreams danced before her eyes.
注意：1.續寫詞數應為150左右；

參考范文：
　　One day， the ballet teacher in her school was late.Melanie was
asked to keep an eye on the girls so that they would behave themselves.
Once inside the ballet room， all her old memories flooded back. She
couldn’t control herself anymore. She started by teaching some steps to
the girls and then carried on dancing herself for some time. Unaware of
the time and the people around her， Melanie was lost in her own little
dancing world.
　　“What a perfect dance， Melanie！ You are a true ballerina！”said
the ballet teacher entering the classroom.Hearing her voice， Melanie
stopped dancing. She was embarrassed to see the teacher in front of her
and was at a loss for words. This was the first time that someone had said
she was a wonderful dancer. Then the teacher， who was shocked to see
Melanie’s amazing skills， asked Melanie to visit a dance trainer with
her. There has been no looking back for Melanie since then. Today，
Melanie is a world-famous ballet dancer.
謝謝觀看！
