Rongjiang county, tucked away in the rainy hills of south-west China, has little going for it at first glance. The grey tiles covering houses in the county sea give it a rather drab feel. Locals often have to find work elsewhere, travelling to distant factories and construction sites.
Yet this summer it was Chinese from far-off cities who flocked to Rongjiang. They came to watch an amateur football league involving 20 of the county’s villages. It started in May and quickly became a ___11___. Weekend matches between teams made up of butchers and farmers drew crowds of nearly 50, 000, straining the local stadium. Millions more watched on Weibo, a Twitter-like platform, and Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok.
There are many reasons behind the popularity of the Rongjiang league which is men only. Start with the ___12___ of professional football. Despite decades of investment, the country’s players are not very good. The men’s national team, made up of players from China’s top league, ranks 78th in the world (the women rank 14th). It has only qualified for the World Cup once, in 2002, when it failed to score a single goal.
The Rongjiang league, by contrast, has an authentic, even wholesome feel. Football in the county dates back to the 1940s, when it was ___13___ by university students who were fleeing China’s cities during the invasion by Japan. Today the games are free to watch and feel enjoyably low pressure. Players ___14___ off their missed shots with smiles. After a penalty shoot-out in the semi-finals, fans swarmed the pitch waving China’s national flag. The winners of this year’s tournament, from a village in Chejiang township, walked away with a cow. The two runners-up won three pigs and three goats, respectively.
The league’s cultural diversity is another ___15___. The players come from several minority ethnic groups, of which the biggest are the Dong and the Miao. During breaks in the matches, villagers in traditional silver headdresses often dance for the crowd.
To the delight of officials at all levels, the league appears to have stimulated the local economy. During the Dragon Boat festival in June tourism spending ___16___ up, much of it coming from football fans. Vendors at the hundreds of stalls set up by the local government outside the stadium ___17___ a brisk trade. A man hawking barbecue skewers says he has doubled his income.
But there are concerns that the success of Rongjiang may be fleeting. Attracting crowds to this part of China is not easy. The city of Zibo, in the northern province of Shandong, provides a ___18___ tale. It became a social-media phenomenon when word of its delicious kebabs began making the rounds earlier this year. Tourists flocked to the city, where officials turned arenas into makeshift dining halls. But after a few months of this barbecue craze, interest in Zibo slumped.
Still, officials think they have found a winning strategy for the countryside. A new football league began this month and will ___19___ until October. It involves nearly 300 amateur teams from all around China. Each is named after a food. On August 13th a team called the Sour Soups from the nearby city of Kaili beat the Bamboo Shoots from the southern province of Guangdong. The stadium in Rongjiang was still ___20___.
(B)
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
A.encouraged B. excuse C. featured D favor E. approaches F. defended
G. access H. serve I. regional J. celebrated K. lengths
When Coca-Cola was first sold in 1886, nobody thought it could be improved. Nearly a century later, in 1985, New Coke was introduced to replace the original recipe of Coke in order to rebrand the product amidst falling sales——Coke was losing customers to Pepsi, whose sweeter taste was finding ___21___. Unfortunately, the Coca-Cola Company saw a significant drop in sales soon after the release of New Coke. Some customers just preferred the “classic” recipe. The old adage(格言), “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” seems to apply here.
Something similar is happening with A Bite of China, a ___22___ food documentary focusing on the stories, traditions and culture surrounding interesting regional dishes from around China. The first two seasons of the show saw great success. However, when the third season began last month, the reviewers were not so “sweet”. With an entirely new production team, Season Three steers away from(偏离) the show’s core focus on ___23___ dishes and towards intimate life stories, non-food-related subject matter and even product placement(植入广告).
In the first episode of Season Two, a teenager in the countryside collects honey high up in a tree. The scene is stunningly filmed, telling a moving story about the dangerous ___24___ to which people go to gather food for their families. In the third season, however, the focus is taken almost completely away from the food. In one of its most infamous episodes, DIY lipstick using questionable ingredients bought online is ___25___. Viewer response has been swift and severe, with several commentators wondering whether it is still suitable to call the show a food documentary. The production crew have ___26___ the changes, claiming that the innovation is meant to keep the show fresh and interesting to an expanding audience. While this may ___27___ in part, to explain the show’s creative differences from previous seasons, it doesn’t ___28___ the show’s declining professionalism, which has led to some silly mistakes such as mixing up ingredients or confusing the correct names of regional dishes.
Innovation is generally ___29___ in industries big and small, but a winning formula that has popular ____30____ is not necessarily something that requires changes. Innovation is a tool often best used when a new direction is called for. By trying to reinvent the wheel, one might just end up with a flat tire. It’s time that A Bite of China took a page out of Coca-Cola’s playbook and returned to the classic recipe, where success has never tasted so sweet.

Probably the number one complaint about reading Shakespeare is that it doesn’t always read like “normal” English. It’s a natural and reasonable ___31___. Shakespeare wrote for an audience over 400 years ago. Think about how word meanings and expressions change over a relatively short time; four centuries bring with them a lot of___32___. The Renaissance and England’s emerging status as a sea power ___33___ the language to an ever-increasing range of cultures and languages. At the same time, there was no real standardization in English. Formal dictionaries and grammar textbooks ___34___ did not exit, and “proper education focused much more on classical Latin than on colloquial English. Despite this neglect- or perhaps because of it-English by the reign of Elizabeth had a certain flexibility to it, of which Shakespeare ___35___.
So how can a reader today___36___ that gap between then and now There are two critical areas to___37___: word usage and grammar. Once you understand there fundamental concepts Shakespeare becomes a lot more ___38___. First and foremost, there have been numerous vocabulary changes in English since Shakespeare was writing. While many words are still recognizable today, others have shifted in their meaning or dropped altogether from usage. ___39___, when was the last time you heard anyone use words such as bodkin (a piercing tool), contumely (verbal abuse), or fardel (a bundle) Often the context in which a word is used will help you determine its meaning. A good ___40___ with detailed footnotes will help you, as well as a good dictionary. The main thing is to be aware that even a familiar word from today may be used within a different meaning in Shakespeare’s works. Grammar is where the ___41___ of Shakespeare English is often most apparent. Parts of speech are frequently ___42___, such as nouns or adjectives becoming verbs. Verbs and subjects don’t always ___43___. Even sentence construction can be ___44___, with inversions of the basic subject-verb-object order. ___45___ we would say, “John caught the ball”, Shakespeare might treat the same statement with the same meaning as “John the ball caught” or “The ball John caught.”

"A woman's life isn't complete until she has____46____ ."says Lao Bai as he toasts his friends at the dinner table. The line is produced at the dinner party，a____47____ scene from the latest romantic comedy B for Busy（爱情神话），which is starred by attractive actresses such as Ma Yili, Ni Hongjie and Wu Yue.
With the audience merrily immersed in the carefully designed plots and lines of the film, the ____48____ of feminist consciousness is distinctly perceived. Indeed, the film featuring the local culture of Shanghai took only a few days to become the highest-rated Chinese movie of 2021 on Douban because the film, as opposed to a wealth of other conventional films, ____49____ the traditional male gaze, pushing the boundaries of female empowerment even further. As the line at the beginning implies, more and more Chinese women are going all out to ____50____ themselves from the traditional restrictions set by men and to erase huge sexist bias with great achievements.
Have those women pioneers achieved a huge success in the male's world Not nearly.
With the opening of the Winter Olympics in Beijing, a grieving ____51____ unkindly unfolded online before all the Chinese people. One is Eileen Gu, the 18-year-old skier winning two gold medals for China; the other is a chained mother of eight locked in a doorless hut.
The huge gap between them serves as a ____52____ reminder that the poverty gap remains hard to bridge in China. The extent of a person's ____53____ determines how cozy his/her life turns out to be. A simple but underlying principle is that the wealthier you are, the wider access you will have to novelties, which will further your ____54____ on the world. Accordingly, in relatively wealthy areas, the prominent Eileen Gu stands a chance to pursue her dream and secure perfect skiing abilities, thus greeting herself with spiritual gratification in self-fulfillment. ____55____ in comparatively destitute areas, women are denied the access to self-refinement, subjected to men's incurable obsession with having ____56____ and thus they reluctantly perform the mission of carrying on the family line-for husbands. The fundamental cause of it comes down to poverty, resulting in the poor's limited horizons, which invariably contribute to ____57____ misconduct.
On a whole scale, China still has a long way to go because it has just ____58____ the relief of absolute poverty, not relative poverty. Even if relative poverty is tackled, a lag period awaits before the ____59____ of deep-rooted concept resulting from it, requiring women's continuous fight.
Thereby, as we take a close look at our country, attention should not be ____60____ paid to those glorious sportswomen; spotlight also needs to be cast upon those unfortunate women trapped in deep darkness. Be it Eileen Gu or the chained woman in Xuzhou, each one of them, as Lao Bai introduces himself in B for Busy, represents a different and real part of China.

TVs are entering a new phase. Just when we were getting used to Ultra HD 4K televisions, the industry is gearing up to start pushing (still extremely pricey) upgrades to 8K sets. And talk about weird: Samsung and Apple became official frenemies by including an app for iTunes on Samsung’s newest TVs.
Walking the show floor this year, I picked these products — some practical, some downright strange—that captured the spirit of where things are headed … or at least the creativity that makes CES (消费电子展) so much fun.
This is 2019’s must-have television for billionaires and wannabe James Bonds. With the tap of a button, LG’s 65-inch TV dramatically rises from a long box where it is rolled up inside. How did they do that The screen uses plastic and OLED tech, which in addition to having fantastic image quality is also capable of bending. (Coming this year, we’ll also be getting smartphones with foldable OLED screens.) The idea is you can place your TV in front of a window without having it block the view all the time. But with a TV like this, who wants to be inconspicuous Go ahead and show off: LG says it can withstand being rolled up for at least 50, 000 cycles.
Samsung TVs will now support an app for Apple’s iTunes movies and TV shows. That means you can buy video from Apple without plugging in Apple’s own streaming box, the Apple TV. And new sets from a variety of makers including Samsung and LG will also support AirPlay 2, Apple’s tech for beaming music, pictures and video from iPhones and Macs to the big screen. Why is Apple suddenly playing nice with other hardware brands It’s part of a bigger push by the tech giant into making money through services, including subscriptions for music and (perhaps soon) streaming video.
61. According to the passage, what’s the author’s identity
A. Samsung TVs’ salesperson. B. LG’s salesperson.
C. A field staff of CES. D. An journalist covering CES.
62. The underlined word “inconspicuous” in the passage can be replaced by ______.
A. modest B. luxurious C. timid D. exaggerated
63. According to the passage, which of the following descriptions of the newest TV is wrong
A. It has been gearing up to start pushing upgrades to 8K sets.
B. It is still very pricey for its high-tech and fascinating quality.
C. Its screen uses plastic and OLED tech so that it can bend.
D. It is portable and supports AirPlay 2 now.
64. According to the passage, which of the following words can be used to describe the author’s attitude towards these new TV sets
A. Neutral. B. Pessimistic. C. Compromising. D. Positive.

“Universal history, the history of what man has accomplished in this world, is at bottom the History of the Great Men who have worked here,” wrote the Victorian sage Thomas Carlyle. Well, not any more it is not.
Suddenly, Britain looks to have fallen out with its favourite historical form. This could be no more than a passing literary craze, but it also points to a broader truth about how we now approach the past: less concerned with learning from forefathers and more interested in feeling their pain. Today, we want empathy, not inspiration.
From the earliest days of the Renaissance, the writing of history meant recounting the exemplary lives of great men. In 1337, Petrarch began work on his rambling writing De Viris Illustribus (On Famous Men), highlighting the virtus (or virtue) of classical heroes. Petrarch celebrated their greatness in conquering fortune and rising to the top. This was the biographical tradition which Niccolo Machiavelli turned on its head. In The Prince, he championed cunning, ruthlessness, and boldness, rather than virtue, mercy and justice, as the skills of successful leaders.
Over time, the attributes of greatness shifted. The Romantics commemorated the leading painters and authors of their day, stressing the uniqueness of the artist’s personal experience rather than public glory. By contrast, the Victorian author Samual Smiles wrote Self-Help as a catalogue of the worthy lives of engineers, industrialists and explores. “The valuable examples which they furnish of the power of self-help, if patient purpose, resolute working and steadfast integrity, issuing in the formulation of truly noble and many character, exhibit,” wrote Smiles. “what it is in the power of each to accomplish for himself.” His biographies of James Walt, Richard Arkwright and Josiah Wedgwood were held up as beacons to guide the working man through his difficult life.
This was all a bit bourgeois (庸俗的) for Thomas Carlyle, who focused his biographies on the truly heroic lives of Martin Luther, Oliver Cromwell and Napoleon Bonaparte. These epochal figures represented lives hard to imitate, but to be acknowledged as possessing higher authority than mere mortals.
Not everyone was convinced by such bombast (浮夸的描写): “The history of all existing society is the history of class struggle” wrote Marx and Engels in The Communist Manifesto. “It is man, real living man, who does all that.” And history should be the story of the masses and their record of struggle.
This was the tradition which revolutionized our appreciation of the past. It transformed the public history: downstairs became just as fascinating as upstairs. In place of Thomas Carlyle, Britain nurtured Christopher Hill, EP Thompson and Eric Hobsbawm. Whole new realms of understanding—from gender to race to cultural studies—were opened up as scholars unpicked the diversity of lost societies.
68. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean
A. History is no more than a pressing literary craze.
B. History should be the story of some epochal heroes.
C. History is a guide through a tough life for working men.
D. History should be inspirational rather than empathetic.
69. According to the article, ______ dismissed virtues as unnecessary for successful rulers.
A. Petrarch B. Samuel Smiles
C. Thomas Carlyle D. Niccolo Machiavelli
70. According to the article, Marx and Engels ______.
A. emphasized the virtues of real living men
B. stressed the uniqueness of personal experiences
C. focused on the worthy lives of truly heroic people
D. held that it is the people who make their own history
71. What can we infer from the article
A. How people appreciate the past has never changed.
B. History from below stood alongside biographies of great men.
C. New realms of understanding great men in history were opened up.
D. Christopher Hill, EP Thompson, and Eric Hobsbaw m were Victorian sages.

If you notice your furbaby seems totally exhausted, is panting heavily, has an altered gait, or his tongue is limp and dangling, it’s time to dial it back. And if he seems really out of it after a walk or playtime, pull back on the amount of exercise for next time. Find out the signs your “healthy” pup is sick.
Could we stop and smell the roses today
No doubt, walking is a tried and true way to exercise your dog (and great for you too), but the same ole walk is nothing to howl over. Walking can serve a dual-purpose when mental stimulation is offered. “Allow your dog to sniff the ground, the bushes, trees, etc. and use the walk for training opportunities like checking in, recall, and sitting at the crosswalks,” says Erin Askeland, a certified canine behavior consultant and at Camp Bow Wow. Remember, dogs sleep between 12 to 14 hours a day and most spend their day relaxing, especially if they are left at home alone during the day or crated. ____75____.
A. Just like with humans, extra weight strains your pooch’s heart and joints.
B. Here are some smart ways to keep your pooch occupied while you’re at the office.
C. For example, dogs that were bred to herd, pull carts, or hunt will need more exercise because historically, their days were filled with activity and their bodies were made to move more often.
D. Puppies seem to have limitless energy and play longer and faster than older dogs, but that doesn’t mean they’re ready for all types of exercise.
E. Some dogs easily tire while others have a “can’t-stop-won’t-stop” attitude so you’ll have to watch for signs of overexertion.
F. It’s important to provide mental exercise for your pup in addition to the physical.

Nevertheless, I’ve come to understand that I was shaped by a society that valued being busy. But is business___78___ a value all that great
In Japanese, the characters for “busy” ___79___ (make) up of the characters for ‘soul’ and ‘loss’. Being busy is quite literally described as a loss of our soul.
___80___ (grow) into an adult, I was able to more closely witness the repercussions of a lack of time on people’s health and wellbeing. Physically, people were struggling to find the time to exercise and eat well, but mentally, I saw a loss of inspiration and content among many people.
Working hard can be good for us, and I believe in the value of immersing yourself in your goals, but ___81___ the balance of rest we can find ourselves lost and unhappy. Because what is productivity or success without a soul
I’ve come to realize that being busy also means losing the space to connect with ourselves, and instead ___82___ (have) that space overwhelmed by the pressure of time.

Rongjiang county, tucked away in the rainy hills of south-west China, has little going for it at first glance. The grey tiles covering houses in the county sea give it a rather drab feel. Locals often have to find work elsewhere, travelling to distant factories and construction sites.
Yet this summer it was Chinese from far-off cities who flocked to Rongjiang. They came to watch an amateur football league involving 20 of the county’s villages. It started in May and quickly became a ___11___. Weekend matches between teams made up of butchers and farmers drew crowds of nearly 50, 000, straining the local stadium. Millions more watched on Weibo, a Twitter-like platform, and Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok.
There are many reasons behind the popularity of the Rongjiang league, which is men only. Start with the ___12___ of professional football. Despite decades of investment, the country’s players are not very good. The men’s national team, made up of players from China’s top league, ranks 78th in the world (the women rank 14th). It has only qualified for the World Cup once, in 2002, when it failed to score a single goal.
The Rongjiang league, by contrast, has an authentic, even wholesome feel. Football in the county dates back to the 1940s, when it was ___13___ by university students who were fleeing China’s cities during the invasion by Japan. Today the games are free to watch and feel enjoyably low pressure. Players ___14___ off their missed shots with smiles. After a penalty shoot-out in the semi-finals, fans swarmed the pitch waving China’s national flag. The winners of this year’s tournament, from a village in Chejiang township, walked away with a cow. The two runners-up won three pigs and three goats, respectively.
The league’s cultural diversity is another ___15___. The players come from several minority ethnic groups, of which the biggest are the Dong and the Miao. During breaks in the matches, villagers in traditional silver headdresses often dance for the crowd.
To the delight of officials at all levels, the league appears to have stimulated the local economy. During the Dragon Boat festival in June tourism spending ___16___ up, much of it coming from football fans. Vendors at the hundreds of stalls set up by the local government outside the stadium ___17___ a brisk trade. A man hawking barbecue skewers says he has doubled his income.
But there are concerns that the success of Rongjiang may be fleeting. Attracting crowds to this part of China is not easy. The city of Zibo, in the northern province of Shandong, provides a ___18___ tale. It became a social-media phenomenon when word of its delicious kebabs began making the rounds earlier this year. Tourists flocked to the city, where officials turned arenas into makeshift dining halls. But after a few months of this barbecue craze, interest in Zibo slumped.
Still, officials think they have found a winning strategy for the countryside. A new football league began this month and will ___19___ until October. It involves nearly 300 amateur teams from all around China. Each is named after a food. On August 13th a team called the Sour Soups from the nearby city of Kaili beat the Bamboo Shoots from the southern province of Guangdong. The stadium in Rongjiang was still ___20___.

Section B (22’)
Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
TVs are entering a new phase. Just when we were getting used to Ultra HD 4K televisions, the industry is gearing up to start pushing (still extremely pricey) upgrades to 8K sets. And talk about weird: Samsung and Apple became official frenemies by including an app for iTunes on Samsung’s newest TVs.
Walking the show floor this year, I picked these products — some practical, some downright strange—that captured the spirit of where things are headed … or at least the creativity that makes CES (消费电子展) so much fun.
This is 2019’s must-have television for billionaires and wannabe James Bonds. With the tap of a button, LG’s 65-inch TV dramatically rises from a long box where it is rolled up inside. How did they do that The screen uses plastic and OLED tech, which in addition to having fantastic image quality is also capable of bending. (Coming this year, we’ll also be getting smartphones with foldable OLED screens.) The idea is you can place your TV in front of a window without having it block the view all the time. But with a TV like this, who wants to be inconspicuous Go ahead and show off: LG says it can withstand being rolled up for at least 50, 000 cycles.
Samsung TVs will now support an app for Apple’s iTunes movies and TV shows. That means you can buy video from Apple without plugging in Apple’s own streaming box, the Apple TV. And new sets from a variety of makers including Samsung and LG will also support AirPlay 2, Apple’s tech for beaming music, pictures and video from iPhones and Macs to the big screen. Why is Apple suddenly playing nice with other hardware brands It’s part of a bigger push by the tech giant into making money through services, including subscriptions for music and (perhaps soon) streaming video.
61. According to the passage, what’s the author’s identity
A. Samsung TVs’ salesperson. B. LG’s salesperson.
C. A field staff of CES. D. An journalist covering CES.
62. The underlined word “inconspicuous” in the passage can be replaced by ______.
A. modest B. luxurious C. timid D. exaggerated
63. According to the passage, which of the following descriptions of the newest TV is wrong
A. It has been gearing up to start pushing upgrades to 8K sets.
B. It is still very pricey for its high-tech and fascinating quality.
C. Its screen uses plastic and OLED tech so that it can bend.
D. It is portable and supports AirPlay 2 now.
64. According to the passage, which of the following words can be used to describe the author’s attitude towards these new TV sets
A. Neutral. B. Pessimistic. C. Compromising. D. Positive.
【答案】61. D 62. A 63. D 64. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了电视正在进入一个新的阶段，介绍了一些最新电视的功能以及作者的看法。
【61题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Walking the show floor this year, I picked these products — some practical, some downright strange—that captured the spirit of where things are headed…or at least the creativity that makes CES (消费电子展) so much fun.(在今年的展会上，我挑选了这些产品——有些实用，有些非常奇怪——它们抓住了事物发展的精神……或者至少是让CES如此有趣的创造力)”可知，作者的身份是报道CES的记者。故选D。
【62题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Go ahead and show off: LG says it can withstand being rolled up for at least 50, 000 cycles.(来炫耀一下吧：LG说它可以承受至少5万次的循环)”可知，后文提到了大胆炫耀，故前面是反问句，意思是但有了这样一台电视，谁想要低调呢？故划线词意思是“低调的”。故选A。
【63题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“And new sets from a variety of makers including Samsung and LG will also support AirPlay 2, Apple’s tech for beaming music, pictures and video from iPhones and Macs to the big screen.(包括三星和LG在内的多家制造商的新电视机也将支持AirPlay 2，这是苹果的一项技术，可以将iphone和mac电脑上的音乐、图片和视频传输到大屏幕上)”可推知，D选项“它是便携式的，现在支持AirPlay 2”错误。故选D。
【64题详解】

“Universal history, the history of what man has accomplished in this world, is at bottom the History of the Great Men who have worked here,” wrote the Victorian sage Thomas Carlyle. Well, not any more it is not.
Suddenly, Britain looks to have fallen out with its favourite historical form. This could be no more than a passing literary craze, but it also points to a broader truth about how we now approach the past: less concerned with learning from forefathers and more interested in feeling their pain. Today, we want empathy, not inspiration.
From the earliest days of the Renaissance, the writing of history meant recounting the exemplary lives of great men. In 1337, Petrarch began work on his rambling writing De Viris Illustribus (On Famous Men), highlighting the virtus (or virtue) of classical heroes. Petrarch celebrated their greatness in conquering fortune and rising to the top. This was the biographical tradition which Niccolo Machiavelli turned on its head. In The Prince, he championed cunning, ruthlessness, and boldness, rather than virtue, mercy and justice, as the skills of successful leaders.
Over time, the attributes of greatness shifted. The Romantics commemorated the leading painters and authors of their day, stressing the uniqueness of the artist’s personal experience rather than public glory. By contrast, the Victorian author Samual Smiles wrote Self-Help as a catalogue of the worthy lives of engineers, industrialists and explores. “The valuable examples which they furnish of the power of self-help, if patient purpose, resolute working and steadfast integrity, issuing in the formulation of truly noble and many character, exhibit,” wrote Smiles. “what it is in the power of each to accomplish for himself.” His biographies of James Walt, Richard Arkwright and Josiah Wedgwood were held up as beacons to guide the working man through his difficult life.
This was all a bit bourgeois (庸俗的) for Thomas Carlyle, who focused his biographies on the truly heroic lives of Martin Luther, Oliver Cromwell and Napoleon Bonaparte. These epochal figures represented lives hard to imitate, but to be acknowledged as possessing higher authority than mere mortals.
Not everyone was convinced by such bombast (浮夸的描写): “The history of all existing society is the history of class struggle” wrote Marx and Engels in The Communist Manifesto. “It is man, real living man, who does all that.” And history should be the story of the masses and their record of struggle.
This was the tradition which revolutionized our appreciation of the past. It transformed the public history: downstairs became just as fascinating as upstairs. In place of Thomas Carlyle, Britain nurtured Christopher Hill, EP Thompson and Eric Hobsbawm. Whole new realms of understanding—from gender to race to cultural studies—were opened up as scholars unpicked the diversity of lost societies.
68. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean
A. History is no more than a pressing literary craze.
B. History should be the story of some epochal heroes.
C. History is a guide through a tough life for working men.
D. History should be inspirational rather than empathetic.
69. According to the article, ______ dismissed virtues as unnecessary for successful rulers.
A. Petrarch B. Samuel Smiles
C. Thomas Carlyle D. Niccolo Machiavelli
70. According to the article, Marx and Engels ______.
A. emphasized the virtues of real living men
B. stressed the uniqueness of personal experiences
C. focused on the worthy lives of truly heroic people
D. held that it is the people who make their own history
71. What can we infer from the article
A. How people appreciate the past has never changed.
B. History from below stood alongside biographies of great men.
C. New realms of understanding great men in history were opened up.
D. Christopher Hill, EP Thompson, and Eric Hobsbaw m were Victorian sages.

词句猜测题。根据划线句子“Universal history, the history of what man has accomplished in this world, is at bottom the History of the Great Men who have worked here,” wrote the Victorian sage Thomas Carlyle.(“世界的历史，人类在这个世界上取得成就的历史，归根结底是在这个世界上工作过的伟人的历史，”维多利亚时代的圣人托马斯·卡莱尔写道。)”以及下文“Suddenly, Britain looks to have fallen out with its favourite historical form. This could be no more than a passing literary craze, but it also points to a broader truth about how we now approach the past: less concerned with learning from forefathers and more interested in feeling their pain.(突然之间，英国似乎与它最喜欢的历史形式分道扬镳了。这可能只是一时的文学热潮，但它也指出了一个更广泛的事实，即我们现在如何对待过去：不太关心向祖先学习，而更感兴趣的是感受他们的痛苦。)”可推测，划线句子的意思是历史应该是一些划时代英雄的故事。故选B。
【69题详解】

In The Prince, he championed cunning, ruthlessness, and boldness, rather than virtue, mercy and justice, as the skills of successful leaders.(这就是Niccolo Machiavelli颠覆的传记传统。在《君主论》中，他推崇狡猾、无情和大胆，而不是美德、仁慈和正义，作为成功领导人的技能。)”可知，Niccolo Machiavelli认为美德对于成功的统治者来说是不必要的。故选D。
【70题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第六段“Not everyone was convinced by such bombast (浮夸的描写): “The history of all existing society is the history of class struggle” wrote Marx and Engels in The Communist Manifesto. “It is man, real living man, who does all that.” And history should be the story of the masses and their record of struggle.(并非所有人都为这样的浮夸所折服：“所有现存社会的历史都是阶级斗争的历史，”马克思和恩格斯在《共产党宣言》中写道。“是活生生的人创造了一切。”而历史应该是大众的故事，是他们斗争的记录。)”可知，马克思和恩格斯认为历史是人民的历史，是人民创造了自己的历史。故选D。
【71题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“This was the tradition which revolutionized our appreciation of the past. It transformed the public history: downstairs became just as fascinating as upstairs. In place of Thomas Carlyle, Britain nurtured Christopher Hill, EP Thompson and Eric Hobsbawm. Whole new realms of understanding—from gender to race to cultural studies—were opened up as scholars unpicked the diversity of lost societies.(这种传统彻底改变了我们对过去的看法。它改变了公共历史下层阶级变得和上层阶级一样迷人。英国培养了Christopher Hill、EP Thompson和Eric Hobsbawm，取代了Thomas Carlyle。从性别到种族再到文化研究，随着学者们对失落社会的多样性的剖析，全新的理解领域被打开了。)”可知，文章认为历史写作的传统是叙述伟人的生平，但历史也应该是关于大众的故事，是他们斗争的记录，即来自底层的历史与伟人生平传记并存。故选B。

How Much Exercise Your Dog Really Needs
Is a walk around the block or playing fetch in the backyard enough for your pooch If your dog could talk this is what she would tell you.
You’re barking up the wrong tree
Family tree that is. Hundreds of years of breed-specific genetics run through your dog’s veins, and it’s best to cater to their genetics for optimal mental and physical health. ____72____. On the other hand, some toy breeds, such as the Shih Tzu and Pekinese, prefer snuggle time over leash time—these breeds were bred to be lap dogs for royalty. Here’s your official guide for picking the best dog for your family.
I gotta move!
Sorry, a quick game of fetch while you sit on the sofa or letting your dog out in the backyard to do her business doesn’t hit the mark. And if your fur baby isn’t getting enough exercise, you’ll notice it in weight gain. ____73____ Sore joints lead to decreased mobility so that it can be a vicious cycle. Also, a lack of exercise can cause a ho-hum attitude towards toys and training, and serious health conditions like and diabetes. Does your pooch need to lose a few pounds Start with these proven weight loss tips for your chunky fur baby.
But keep an eye on my states
____74____ “You need to monitor and listen to your pet during walks and runs to make sure they’re not having trouble, ”says Jennifer Freeman, DVM, PetSmart resident veterinarian, and pet care expert. If you notice your furbaby seems totally exhausted, is panting heavily, has an altered gait, or his tongue is limp and dangling, it’s time to dial it back. And if he seems really out of it after a walk or playtime, pull back on the amount of exercise for next time. Find out the signs your “healthy” pup is sick.
Could we stop and smell the roses today
No doubt, walking is a tried and true way to exercise your dog (and great for you too), but the same ole walk is nothing to howl over. Walking can serve a dual-purpose when mental stimulation is offered. “Allow your dog to sniff the ground, the bushes, trees, etc. and use the walk for training opportunities like checking in, recall, and sitting at the crosswalks,” says Erin Askeland, a certified canine behavior consultant and at Camp Bow Wow. Remember, dogs sleep between 12 to 14 hours a day and most spend their day relaxing, especially if they are left at home alone during the day or crated. ____75____.
A. Just like with humans, extra weight strains your pooch’s heart and joints.
B. Here are some smart ways to keep your pooch occupied while you’re at the office.
C. For example, dogs that were bred to herd, pull carts, or hunt will need more exercise because historically, their days were filled with activity and their bodies were made to move more often.
D. Puppies seem to have limitless energy and play longer and faster than older dogs, but that doesn’t mean they’re ready for all types of exercise.
E. Some dogs easily tire while others have a “can’t-stop-won’t-stop” attitude so you’ll have to watch for signs of overexertion.
F. It’s important to provide mental exercise for your pup in addition to the physical.
