20、些在全球销售)”可知， Meatopia和 the National Honey Show共同之处在于，这两个美食节的时长都是三天。故选A。【22题详解】细节理解题。根据The Orange Sauce Festival中最后一句话“There are thousands of participants from over 30 different countries across the globe, bringing their local snacks to share here.(来自全球30多个不同国家数千名参与者带着他们当地的小吃在这里分享)”可知，因为有来自全球30多个国家的数千
21、名参与者带着他们的当地小吃在这里分享，所以如果对外国食物感兴趣，可以去The Orange Sauce Festival。故选D。【23题详解】细节理解题。根据The Ginger and Spice Festival中的第二句话“Unlike other food festivals, it celebrates its towns historic connection to Robert Clive, who returned from India with ginger.(与其他美食节不同，它庆祝小镇与罗伯特克莱夫的历史联系，后者从印度带着生姜回来)”可知，因为和历史人物有关系，所以t

Yet, Vlad
26、imirovas inner artist remained alive. In 2015, Vladimirova began crafting a series of illustrations centered around Beijing, properly named “The Beijing Calendar”. What attracts Vladimirova most is Beijings historic hutong. These narrow alleyways, rich in history and culture, serve as a wellspring (
27、源泉) of inspiration for her artistry. Vladimirovas ability to catch these hidden small differences likely comes from her unique perspective as an “outsider”someone who didnt grow up in Beijing.

31、icy Siberian city of Irkutsk to the vital Beijing started during her college years(弗拉基米罗娃从冰冷的西伯利亚城市伊尔库茨克到充满活力的北京的旅程始于她的大学时代)”可知，Vladimirova在上大学时来到北京；由划线部分所在从句“when shecommenced withan academic exchange program connecting her Russian university with Liaoning University in Shenyang, in Northeast China
32、s Liaoning Province(当时她commenced with一个学术交流项目，将她所在的俄罗斯大学与中国东北辽宁省沈阳的辽宁大学联系起来。)”以及下文“It was during this transformative period that she first set foot in Beijing.(正是在这一变革时期，她第一次踏上了北京的土地。)”可知，她由于在大学期间来到辽宁大学开始学术交流项目而有机会去北京；“shecommenced withan academic exchange program connecting her Russian university w
33、ith Liaoning University in Shenyang”表达的意思为“她开始了她的俄罗斯大学与沈阳辽宁大学的学术交流项目”，“commenced with”意为“开始”，与B选项began表达意思一致。故选B。【25题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段“Vladimirovas path as an artist was far from linear (直线的).

34、ademic and professional route, studying Chinese and international trade in college and later working in trade relations between Russia and China, none of which was directly connected to the world of art.

35、热爱。然而，她追求不同的学术和专业路线，在大学学习中国和国际贸易，后来从事中俄贸易关系方面的工作，这些都与艺术界没有直接联系。然而，Vladimirova内心的艺术家仍然活着。)”可知，尽管Vladimirova从小就对绘画和绘画产生了热爱，但是她在大学学习中国和国际贸易，并从事中俄贸易关系方面的工作；由此可知，她一开始从事的是与艺术没有联系的工作，后来才从事艺术行业，她推迟了她的艺术生涯。故选D。【26题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“In 2015, Vladimirova began crafting a series of illustrations centered around Be
36、ijing, properly named “The Beijing Calendar”. What attracts Vladimirova most is Beijings historic hutong.

37、的窄巷是她艺术创作灵感的源泉。)”可知，最吸引Vladimirova的是北京历史悠久的胡同，历史文化丰富的窄巷是她艺术创作灵感的源泉；由此可知，作者提到胡同是为了展示Vladimirova艺术创作的灵感。故选B。【27题详解】推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“Vladimirovas ability to catch these hidden small differences likely comes from her unique perspective as an “outsider”someone who didnt grow up in Beijing. This fresh
38、 perspective allowed her to arrive in the city with fresh eyes and an eager heart, ready to embrace a new culture. (Vladimirova能够捕捉到这些隐藏的细微差异，可能是因为她作为一个局外人一个不在北京长大的人的独特视角。这种全新的视角让她带着全新的眼光和渴望的心来到这座城市，准备接受一种新的文化。)”可知，Vladimirova的展示北京的绘画之所以如此成功是她对这座城市充满好奇心，以一个“局外人”的身份带着全新的眼光和渴望的心来到北京，以全新的视角去接受一种新的文化；A选
39、项“Curiosity works wonders.(好奇心能创造奇迹。)”能够最好地概括Vladimirova的成功。故选A。CIn gardens across Britain the grass has stopped growing, which is not drought-stricken.
