这是一篇英语阅读补全(六选五)题型,解题时首先要通读全文,明确文章核心主题是介绍中国文化作品对外翻译的相关年轻译者的故事,再逐空定位上下文的线索:首先观察空后出现的代词、特指名词,找到和选项的呼应关系,排除和全文主题完全无关的多余选项,就能顺理成章匹配出正确答案。第一空后文出现代词They,需要找到能对应指代的群体;第二空前文提到金庸此前在海外知名度低,后文转折说Anna完成了翻译,需要补充知名度低的原因;第三空前文提到译本出版,后文提到大家认可翻译质量,需要补充译本受欢迎的表现;第四空后文出现特指的the trip,需要找到提到旅行的选项;第五空后文出现男性he,介绍另一位译者David,需要找到引出David的选项。
【解析】
1. 空1:前文提到近年越来越多中国书籍、影视作品被翻译成其他语言,后文的They指代空处引出的群体,后文说明该群体长期学习中文、喜爱中国文化,Anna是其中一员。C选项“Many of the translators are young people.” 点明译者群体的特征,后文的They正好指代句中的young people,逻辑衔接通顺。
2. 空2:前文说明在Anna翻译《射雕英雄传》之前,金庸在英语读者中几乎没有知名度,后文转折表述Anna成功完成了翻译工作。D选项“One reason for this was that his works were too hard to translate.” 解释了金庸此前在海外知名度低的核心原因,完美衔接前后文逻辑。
3. 空3:前文提到Anna耗时五年完成的译本在2018年正式出版,后文提到大众都认可Anna的翻译质量。E选项“It was reprinted seven times within several months in the UK.” 描述了译本出版后广受追捧的火爆情况,承接出版的情节,自然引出后文的好评。
4. 空4:后文出现特指表述the trip,说明空处必须提及一次中国旅行的相关内容。B选项“She took a trip to China at the age of 21.” 正好对应后文的the trip,交代了Anna对中国文化产生兴趣的契机。
5. 空5:后文出现男性代词he,开始介绍另一位译者David的翻译经历。A选项“Like Anna, another translator David also learnt Chinese in college.” 从Anna的个人故事自然过渡到另一位译者David,顺畅衔接后文对David的相关介绍。
剩余F选项和全文主题完全无关,是多余选项。

六、阅读短文并回答问题。
Crosstalk, or *xiangsheng*, is one of China's most popular performing arts. People of all ages love it—kids, grandparents, and everyone in between find it super fun. Even many young students enjoy it after class, laughing along with performers on stage.
No one knows exactly when crosstalk started. Some say the Ming Dynasty, but most think it became a real art during the Qing Dynasty when cities were full of energy. At first, one person did *dankou*(solo acts), telling silly stories or jokes. Later, when three or more joined, it was *qunkou*(group acts). But today, the most common is *duikou*(two-person acts). In *duikou*, there's a "funny leader"(*dougen*) who makes most jokes, and a "helper"(*penggen*) who laughs, asks silly questions, or makes the jokes even funnier. They chat about daily life or silly things, making the audience laugh nonstop.
Crosstalk has four key skills: *shuo*(telling stories/jokes), *xue*(copying sounds—like how cats meow or grandpas cough), *dou*(making people laugh with silly words/faces), and *chang*(singing short folk tunes). These are taught by older actors to new students, learning by doing.
In recent years, online videos have made crosstalk even more popular. In 2008, China named it a "national intangible heritage" to help keep this funny art alive for more people.
So next time you watch, remember: every laugh comes from lots of practice and happy sharing!
1. When do people think crosstalk became an real art form?
2. What was the earliest form of *xiangsheng*?
3. How many forms of *xiangsheng* are introduced in Paragraph 2?
4. What are the key skills in *xiangsheng* according to the text?
5. Do you like *xiangsheng*? Why or why not?
