D.Braveryopensupanewworld.【答案】24.D25.C26.B27.D【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。作者一开始到中国时因为惧怕困难而不想学习中文，但是在中国一年后作者决定接受这个挑战，在认真学习后，作者发现学习中文不仅对其日常生活有帮助，而且加深了自己对这个迷人国家的文化理解。【24题详析】细节理解题。根据第三段前两句“Yetdespitemypassion,learningChinesehadn’tevenenteredmymind.Thiswasn’tlaziness,butratherfearatthethoughtoftryingtolearnwhatisregardedasthemostdifficultlanguageintheworld.(尽管我对中文充满热情，但我从未想过要学习中文。这并不是懒惰，而是一想到要学习被认为是世界上最难的语言就害怕。)”可知，作者2017年到中国时不学中文是因为他逃避做困难的事情。故选D。【25题详析】细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“Withthesefactorsinmindandathirstforanewchallenge,IdecidedtobeginmylanguagejourneyandmyonlyregretisthatIdidn’tstartearlier.(考虑到这些因素和对新挑战的渴望，我决定开始我的语言之旅，我唯一的遗憾是我没有早点开始。)”可知，对新挑战的渴望促使作者开始学习中文。故选C。【26题详析】词句猜测题。根据第五段第一句中的“asIoncethought(像我原本以为的)”和第三段前两句“Yetdespitemypassion,learningChinesehadn’tevenenteredmymind.Thiswasn’tlaziness,butratherfearatthethoughtoftryingtolearnwhatisregardedasthemostdifficultlanguageintheworld.(尽管我对中文充满热情，但我从未想过要学习中文。这并不是懒惰，而是一想到要学习被认为是世界上最难的语言就害怕。)”可知，此处是指学习中文并不像“我”原本以为的那样难，所以insurmountable意为“困难的”。故选B。【27题详析】推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“LearningChinesenotonlyhelpedmeinday-to-daylife,butdeepenedmyculturalunderstandingofsuchafascinatingcountry.So,toallmynon-ChinesefriendsIsaythis,takeupthechallengeandtaketheleapoffaith.(学习中文不仅对我的日常生活有帮助，而且加深了我对这个迷人国家的文化理解。所以，我要对我所有的非中国朋友说，接受挑战，大胆地迈出信念的一步。)”可知，从作者的经历中可以了解到勇敢接受挑战会打开新世界的大门。故选D。CInthevastdigitallandscape,Googlestandsasatoweringgiantofinnovationandcreativity.Amongitsmanyofferings,onestandsoutforitsabilitytocharm,educate,andcelebratethediversityofhumanculture—theGoogleDoodle(涂鸦).Thisartisticproject,whichhasevolvedfromsimplestillimagestoanimatedpictures,interactivegames,andshortvideos,hasturnedtheusualactofsearchingtheinternetintoanenjoyablejourneythroughhistory,culture,and,importantly,theEnglishlanguage.TheideaofGoogleDoodlebeganinthelate1990s,whenthecompany’sfounders,LarryPageandSergeyBrin,wantedtoaddatouchoffunandpersonalitytotheirsearchengine.ThefirstGoogleDoodle,createdin1998tomarktheBurningManFestival,wasthestartofatraditionthathassincebecomeknownforitscreativity,diversityanduserengagement.EachGoogleDoodleisamasterpiece,designedandpublishedbyanydoodleronlinetobringoutthecertainthemeeveryyear.FrompayingrespecttoliterarygreatslikeMarkTwainandDickenstomarkingkeymomentsinworldwidehistory,suchasthe2008BeijingOlympics,GoogleDoodlesshowtheglobalinfluenceofEnglishandcolorfulculturalroots.OneofthemostamazingthingsaboutGoogleDoodleisitsabilitytomixtheEnglishlanguagewithartisticexpression.ManyDoodlesincludecleverwordplay,literaryquotes,andhistoricalreferences,encouraginguserstoexploretheeventsandcelebritiesmoredeeply.Forexample,aDoodlecelebratingthelifeandworksofWilliamShakespearemightshowfamousquotesfromhisplays,invitinguserstodiveintotherichworldofElizabethanliterature.Inconclusion,GoogleDoodleismorethanjustavisualdelight.Throughitscharmingdesigns,andinteractivefeatures,itinvitesustoexplore,appreciate,andcelebratethediversetraditionsthathaveshapedoursharedhumanheritage.Itservesasabridgeconnectingthedigitalworldwithhumanemotionsandmemories,makingeverysearchapotentialdiscoveryofbeautyandmeaning.28.WhatcanyoudoonGoogleDoodle?A.Learnhowtodoodle.
