There are thousands of incredible trails (路线) that allow us to get up close to nature. Here are 4 of the best hiking trails in the world.
Lares and Royal Inca Trail, Peru
The Inca Trail to Macchu Picchu is unquestionably one of South America’s greatest one.
Lares and Royal Inca Trail, a guided three-day trip in the Lares region, follows an ancient Inca path through Andean forests, up the Huchayccasa pass and through the village of Huacahuasi, with the chance to catch sight of towering Mount Veronica.
Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, Costa Rica
Costa Rica’s rich biodiversity is best explored in the high cloud forests of Monteverde. The reserve has a series of well-marked paths ideal for those keen on an easy slow walk with the chance to see the area’s striking birds and plants up close without having to pack for a multi-day hike.
The Dingle Way, Ireland
Ireland’s Dingle Way trail can be completed in around eight days.
Starting in the town of Tralee, the clockwise path follows narrow roads, taking in the wide sweep of sand at Inch Strand, passing along the clifftops outside Dingle town and heading around the edge of Mount Brandon, the highest peak on the Dingle Peninsula.
Armenia and the Silk Road
Armenia’s beautiful natural landscapes are best explored on foot.
The 11-day Armenia and the Silk Road trip takes in some of its finest routes, connecting the UNESCO protected monasteries (修道院) of Sanahin and Haghpat, passing over limestone peaks and through green forests, with the opportunity to hike in the wild Geghama Mountains and climb to the top of Aragats, the country’s tallest mountain.
21. Where can people reach if he follows the route of the Inca Trail
A Macchu Picchu. B. Dingle town. C. Inch Strand. D. Geghama Mountains.

Two 18-year-old girls, Jrasnatt and Marisa, learned about a major challenge faced by the cricket (蟋蟀) farmers. Bigger crickets often attack the smaller ones. When attacked, a cricket will cut off its own legs to escape. But after abandoning a leg, this animal will often die or becomes less valuable to buyers.
Jrasnatt and Marisa were determined to solve the problem. After some research, they learned that colored light can influence the behaviors of some animals, including insects. To find out, the teen researchers transferred groups of 30 newly hatched crickets into each of 24 boxes. The crickets in six boxes were exposed only to red light. Another six boxes were lit with green. Six more boxes were lit with blue. These three groups of insects spent daytime hours throughout their lives — about two months — in a world bathed in just one color of light. The last six boxes of crickets lived in natural light.
“We see they’re growing every day and take notes on what’s happening,” says Marisa. “We’re like the parents of the crickets.” Throughout, the teens kept track of the crickets. The share of crickets with missing legs was about 9 in every 10 among those living in red, blue or natural light. But fewer than 7 in every 10 crickets who grew up in a world of green lost legs. Also, the survival rate for crickets in the green box was four or five times higher than that in the other boxes.
Crickets’ eyes are adapted to only see in green and blue light. So, in red light, the world would always look dark. Without being able to see, they are more likely to hit each other. That results in crickets losing legs. Besides, crickets are more attracted to blue light than green light, which pulls them closer together and leads to more fights. In the green light box, the crickets were most likely to mind their own business and avoid struggle.
Creating a green-light world for crickets is a solution that could be brought to the farms. Jrasnatt and Marisa are already in talks with the farmers. Those farmers plan to try out green lighting to see if it will boost their profits.
24 What problem of crickets did the girls decide to settle
A. There is no cricket buyer. B. They often jump high to escape.
C. Their legs are cut off by farmers. D. There are always injuries and deaths.
25. What can we learn about the girls’ research work
A. They conducted the research seriously. B. They looked after the insects carelessly.
C. They observed the crickets day and night. D. They divided the crickets into three groups.
26. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Possible application of the research finding.
B. A brief introduction to the research method.
C. A further explanation for the research results.
D. Detailed information about the research process.
27. What may be the attitude of the cricket farmers towards the girls’ solution
A. Doubtful. B. Opposed. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent.
C
Kobe Bryant is no doubt a legend. How did he do it Simply put his work principle. He showed up to training every day, no excuses. Without a doubt, it is quite evident that Kobe’s desire for success was directly correlated with his work principle.
Kobe Bryant’s work principle is what helped him become the legend he is today. But what also must be understood about Kobe Bryant is that he was relentless (不停的;严格的). He had a mental toughness and steely focus that was driven by his over-the-top competitiveness.
In short, Kobe wanted to be the best, and would do whatever it took to achieve this mental goal. If he had a weakness in one area, he would commit to mastering that weakness. If there was a lack of strength in his shot, he would get to work exhausting all options to correct that lack of strength, researching and then applying the routines that instructed him on how to get stronger. Similarly, if his weakness was a lack of speed, he would put in the time and effort to overcome the limitation. And there lies his secret to success. The willingness to learn and then apply what he learned to move himself closer to his goals.
“When I am retired, I don’t want to have to say I wish I would have done more. I don’t want that.”— Kobe Bryant.
As such, Kobe Bryant’s success principle can be summarized as a relentless focus on the end result. The great news is the ability to be relentless is in all of you.
28. According to the author, what makes Kobe Bryant a legend
A. Kobe Bryant’s distinguished characters.
B. Kobe Bryant’s attitudes towards his work.
C. Kobe Bryant’s methods of everyday training.
D. Kobe Bryant’s willingness to learn new things.
29. What does the underlined word “over-the-top” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Potential. B. Temporary. C. Apparent. D. Extraordinary.
30. What does the author want to show best by telling the story of Kobe Bryant
A. A slow sparrow should make an early start.
B. All things are difficult before they are easy.
C. Success results from consistent efforts.
D. Confidence is the first step on the road to success.
31. Which of the following best describes Kobe Bryant
A. Self-disciplined and hard-working. B. Confident and humble.
C. Positive and considerate. D. Selfless and energetic.
D
For a few seconds on a sunny afternoon last April,renewables broke a record for California’s main electric network,providing enough power to supply 94.5% of demand. The moment was praised as a milestone on the path to decarbonisation(脱碳).But what happens when the sunsets and the winds stop
Handling the varied power production of renewables will require cheap storage for hours or even days at a time. New types of iron-based batteries might be up to the task.
Many firms are engaged in developing these kinds of batteries. Oregon- based ESS,whose batteries can store energy for between four and twelve hours,launched its first network-scale projects in 2021.Massachusetts-based Form Energy,which raised $ 240 million in 2021,has batteries that store power for up to 100 hours. Its first installation will be a one-megawatt(兆瓦)pilot plant in Minnesota,planned to be completed in 2023.
Both companies rely on batteries that use iron,one of the most abundant materials on the planet. This means that their offerings could eventually be cheaper than other network storage candidates. Form says its batteries could eventually cost just $ 20 per kilowatt-hour,lower than even optimistic predictions for lithium-ion(锂离子)batteries in the next several decades.
There are still challenges to address:iron batteries typically have low efficiency,meaning a good part of the energy that’s put into them can’t be recovered. Unwanted side reactions can also degrade them over time. But if iron-based batteries can be applied widely,at a low enough cost,they could help power more of the world with renewable energy.
32. What is the author’s purpose of raising a question in the first paragraph
A. To introduce the topic of the article. B. To support the topic of this paragraph.
C. To highlight the importance of energy. D. To inspire more scientists to study.
33. How does the author develop Paragraph 3
A. By making classifications. B. By analysing cause and effect.
C. By giving examples. D. By explaining definitions.
34. What do we know about the iron-based batteries in the passage
A. They are bound to quickly replace all the existing batteries.
B. They are of great help in spite of several unknown weaknesses.
C. They are believed to be applied more widely in the remote areas.
D. They are expected to supply more energy at a much lower cost.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Competition:Two Battery Companies
B. Possibility:Long-lasting Network Batteries
C. Challenge:New Battery with Low Efficiency
D. Milestone:Success in Decarbonisation

Now is the time to declare: “I will not waste my life reliving a decision that cannot be changed.”
Collect your diploma.
Regret is like a school run by human nature. If you never experienced regret, you would keep repeating the same behaviors that led you to miss opportunities. ____39____. Next. list all the ways that you can invest in your own skills and improvement right now — and get started.

【原文】I’m sorry to say that any weekend plans may need to be canceled, whatever they are. We thought the last of the winter snow had fallen, but there is now a severe weather warning from Friday all the way until Tuesday for heavy snowfall, with at least 12 inches predicted to fall on Saturday alone. This will be followed by up to 8 inches on Sunday and another 6 on Monday. The police are urging people only to travel if it’s essential. Temperatures will be extremely low during the snowstorm, with a predicted low of -12 °C on Saturday and a high of -3 °C. Because it’s going to be so cold, make sure that your heating is working and run hot water regularly to stop your pipes from freezing and breaking. Have enough supplies to last for 7 to 10 days, as roads are likely to be blocked or closed due to the ice. We have a number of tips and emergency contact details on our website. Until then, please stay safe and remember, do not travel unless it is essential to do so.

Two 18-year-old girls, Jrasnatt and Marisa, learned about a major challenge faced by the cricket (蟋蟀) farmers. Bigger crickets often attack the smaller ones. When attacked, a cricket will cut off its own legs to escape. But after abandoning a leg, this animal will often die or becomes less valuable to buyers.
Jrasnatt and Marisa were determined to solve the problem. After some research, they learned that colored light can influence the behaviors of some animals, including insects. To find out, the teen researchers transferred groups of 30 newly hatched crickets into each of 24 boxes. The crickets in six boxes were exposed only to red light. Another six boxes were lit with green. Six more boxes were lit with blue. These three groups of insects spent daytime hours throughout their lives — about two months — in a world bathed in just one color of light. The last six boxes of crickets lived in natural light.
“We see they’re growing every day and take notes on what’s happening,” says Marisa. “We’re like the parents of the crickets.” Throughout, the teens kept track of the crickets. The share of crickets with missing legs was about 9 in every 10 among those living in red, blue or natural light. But fewer than 7 in every 10 crickets who grew up in a world of green lost legs. Also, the survival rate for crickets in the green box was four or five times higher than that in the other boxes.
Crickets’ eyes are adapted to only see in green and blue light. So, in red light, the world would always look dark. Without being able to see, they are more likely to hit each other. That results in crickets losing legs. Besides, crickets are more attracted to blue light than green light, which pulls them closer together and leads to more fights. In the green light box, the crickets were most likely to mind their own business and avoid struggle.
Creating a green-light world for crickets is a solution that could be brought to the farms. Jrasnatt and Marisa are already in talks with the farmers. Those farmers plan to try out green lighting to see if it will boost their profits.
24. What problem of crickets did the girls decide to settle
A. There is no cricket buyer. B. They often jump high to escape.
C. Their legs are cut off by farmers. D. There are always injuries and deaths.
25. What can we learn about the girls’ research work
A. They conducted the research seriously. B. They looked after the insects carelessly.
C. They observed the crickets day and night. D. They divided the crickets into three groups.
26. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Possible application of the research finding.
B. A brief introduction to the research method.
C. A further explanation for the research results.
D. Detailed information about the research process.
27. What may be the attitude of the cricket farmers towards the girls’ solution
A. Doubtful. B. Opposed. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了两个女孩为帮助蟋蟀养殖场减少蟋蟀伤亡进行实验研究,介绍了研究目的、研究方法与过程、研究结果、研究结果的应用等内容。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Bigger crickets often attack the smaller ones. When attacked, a cricket will cut off its own legs to escape. But after abandoning a leg, this animal will often die or becomes less valuable to buyers.(大蟋蟀经常攻击小蟋蟀。当受到攻击时,蟋蟀会割下自己的腿逃跑。但放弃一条腿后,这种动物往往会死亡,或者对买家来说价值降低)”以及第二段“Jrasnatt and Marisa were determined to solve the problem.(Jrasnatt和Marisa决心解决这个问题)”可知,两个女孩要解决的问题是蟋蟀的伤亡问题。故选D项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“‘We see they’re growing every day and take notes on what’s happening,’ says Marisa. ‘We’re like the parents of the crickets.’(Marisa说:“我们看到它们每天都在长大,并记录下正在发生的事情。”。“我们就像蟋蟀的父母。”)”可推知,两个女孩工作细致入微,认真开展了实验研究。故选A项。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Crickets’ eyes are adapted to only see in green and blue light. So, in red light, the world would always look dark. Without being able to see, they are more likely to hit each other. That results in crickets losing legs. Besides, crickets are more attracted to blue light than green light, which pulls them closer together and leads to more fights. In the green light box, the crickets were most likely to mind their own business and avoid struggle.(蟋蟀的眼睛只能在绿光和蓝光中看到。所以,在红灯下,世界看起来总是黑暗的。在看不见的情况下,它们更有可能互相攻击。这会导致蟋蟀失去腿。此外,蟋蟀更容易被蓝光吸引,而不是绿光,这将它们拉得更近,并导致更多的争斗。在绿灯箱里,蟋蟀们最有可能关心自己的事情,避免争斗)”可知,本段是对实验结果背后的原因作进一步的解释,光的颜色会影响蟋蟀的存活率。故选C项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Those farmers plan to try out green lighting to see if it will boost their profits.(这些农民计划尝试绿色照明,看看这是否能提高他们的利润)”可知,农民对于两个女孩的解决方法可能持有支持的态度。故选C项。

Kobe Bryant is no doubt a legend. How did he do it Simply put his work principle. He showed up to training every day, no excuses. Without a doubt, it is quite evident that Kobe’s desire for success was directly correlated with his work principle.
Kobe Bryant’s work principle is what helped him become the legend he is today. But what also must be understood about Kobe Bryant is that he was relentless (不停的;严格的). He had a mental toughness and steely focus that was driven by his over-the-top competitiveness.
In short, Kobe wanted to be the best, and would do whatever it took to achieve this mental goal. If he had a weakness in one area, he would commit to mastering that weakness. If there was a lack of strength in his shot, he would get to work exhausting all options to correct that lack of strength, researching and then applying the routines that instructed him on how to get stronger. Similarly, if his weakness was a lack of speed, he would put in the time and effort to overcome the limitation. And there lies his secret to success. The willingness to learn and then apply what he learned to move himself closer to his goals.
“When I am retired, I don’t want to have to say I wish I would have done more. I don’t want that.”— Kobe Bryant.
As such, Kobe Bryant’s success principle can be summarized as a relentless focus on the end result. The great news is the ability to be relentless is in all of you.

29. What does the underlined word “over-the-top” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Potential. B. Temporary. C. Apparent. D. Extraordinary.
30. What does the author want to show best by telling the story of Kobe Bryant
A. A slow sparrow should make an early start.
B. All things are difficult before they are easy.
C. Success results from consistent efforts.
D. Confidence is the first step on the road to success.
31. Which of the following best describes Kobe Bryant
A. Self-disciplined and hard-working. B. Confident and humble.
C. Positive and considerate. D. Selfless and energetic.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. A

For a few seconds on a sunny afternoon last April,renewables broke a record for California’s main electric network,providing enough power to supply 945% of demand. The moment was praised as a milestone on the path to decarbonisation(脱碳).But what happens when the sunsets and the winds stop
Handling the varied power production of renewables will require cheap storage for hours or even days at a time. New types of iron-based batteries might be up to the task.
Many firms are engaged in developing these kinds of batteries. Oregon- based ESS,whose batteries can store energy for between four and twelve hours,launched its first network-scale projects in 2021.Massachusetts-based Form Energy,which raised $ 240 million in 2021,has batteries that store power for up to 100 hours. Its first installation will be a one-megawatt(兆瓦)pilot plant in Minnesota,planned to be completed in 2023.
Both companies rely on batteries that use iron,one of the most abundant materials on the planet. This means that their offerings could eventually be cheaper than other network storage candidates. Form says its batteries could eventually cost just $ 20 per kilowatt-hour,lower than even optimistic predictions for lithium-ion(锂离子)batteries in the next several decades.
There are still challenges to address:iron batteries typically have low efficiency,meaning a good part of the energy that’s put into them can’t be recovered Unwanted side reactions can also degrade them over time. But if iron-based batteries can be applied widely,at a low enough cost,they could help power more of the world with renewable energy.
32. What is the author’s purpose of raising a question in the first paragraph
A. To introduce the topic of the article. B. To support the topic of this paragraph.
C. To highlight the importance of energy. D. To inspire more scientists to study.
33. How does the author develop Paragraph 3
A. By making classifications. B. By analysing cause and effect.
C. By giving examples. D. By explaining definitions.
34. What do we know about the iron-based batteries in the passage
A. They are bound to quickly replace all the existing batteries.
B. They are of great help in spite of several unknown weaknesses.
C. They are believed to be applied more widely in the remote areas.
D. They are expected to supply more energy at a much lower cost.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Competition:Two Battery Companies
B. Possibility:Long-lasting Network Batteries
C. Challenge:New Battery with Low Efficiency
D. Milestone:Success in Decarbonisation
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明可再生能源的低效率存储问题并提出了使用新型的铁基电池来解决。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The moment was praised as a milestone on the path to decarbonisation(脱碳).But what happens when the sunsets and the winds stop (这一时刻被誉为脱碳道路上的里程碑。但当日落和风停止时会发生什么呢 )”和第二段“Handling the varied power production of renewables will require cheap storage for hours or even days at a time. New types of iron-based batteries might be up to the task.(处理可再生能源的各种电力生产将需要廉价的存储,一次存储几个小时甚至几天。新型铁基电池或许可以胜任这项任务。)”可知,作者在第一段介绍新能源的目的是为了引入话题,介绍文章的主题“铁基电池”。故选A项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Oregon- based ESS,whose batteries can store energy for between four and twelve hours,launched its first network-scale projects in 2021.Massachusetts-based Form Energy,which raised $ 240 million in 2021,has batteries that store power for up to 100 hours.(总部位于俄勒冈州的ESS的电池可以储存4到12小时的能量,于2021年启动了第一个网络规模的项目。总部位于马萨诸塞州的Form Energy公司于2021年筹集了2.4亿美元,其电池可储存电量长达100小时。)”可知,作者主要是通过举两个例子来说明铁基电池的发展,所以作者是通过举例子来展开第三段的。故选C项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“But if iron-based batteries can be applied widely,at a low enough cost,they could help power more of the world with renewable energy.(但如果铁基电池能够以足够低的成本广泛应用,它们可以帮助世界上更多的人使用可再生能源。)”可知,铁基电池被期望以更低的成本提供更多的能量。故选D项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。分析全文内容再根据文章最后一段“There are still challenges to address:iron batteries typically have low efficiency,meaning a good part of the energy that’s put into them can’t be recovered.(目前仍有一些挑战需要解决:铁电池的效率通常很低,这意味着投入其中的很大一部分能量无法回收。)”可知,本文主要说明可再生能源的低效率存储问题并提出了使用新型的铁基电池来解决,所以C选项“挑战:新型低效率电池”适合用作文章标题。故选C项。

How to Learn from Your Regrets
Regret’s benefits don’t come to us by chance. ____36____ . Here are three steps you can take the next time you find yourself thinking carefully about your past missteps.
Kill the ghost (鬼魂).
People often say their regrets keep coming to their mind. This suggests that regret is like a ghost. Bring your ghost out of the shadows by making a list of your regrets. Write down why each one still bothers you and its bad effects. ____37____.
Forgive yourself.
____38____, but sometimes you just can’t stop blaming yourself. Perhaps you dropped out of school decades ago and are constantly calculating today how much money you would be making if you had pressed on to graduation. Now is the time to declare: “I will not waste my life reliving a decision that cannot be changed.”
Collect your diploma.
Regret is like a school run by human nature. If you never experienced regret, you would keep repeating the same behaviors that led you to miss opportunities. ____39____. Next. list all the ways that you can invest in your own skills and improvement right now — and get started.
Regrets may hurt. ____40____, while trying to live without them is a lost opportunity to grow. Life is a journey full of pleasures and pains. To live it well and fully means learning from every bit of it, including the mistakes, and moving forward.
A. After you make a mistake, life moves on
B. Filling your mind with them is destructive
C. The ghost certainly doesn’t rule a person’s life
D. We have to seek them out on purpose to improve ourselves
E. You will find that a list is a lot less frightening than a ghost
F. You choose a life sentence for a poor decision you made in the past
G. If you let regret teach, you can note how you want to change your behavior
【答案】36. D 37. E 38. A 39. G 40. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章论述了一个道理,那就是我们需要学会从遗憾中学习。
【36题详解】
上文“Regret’s benefits don’t come to us by chance.( 遗憾的好处不是偶然的。)”提到遗憾的好处;下文“Here are three steps you can take the next time you find yourself thinking carefully about your past missteps.(下次当你发现自己在认真反思过去的错误时,你可以采取以下三个步骤。)”提出三个步骤,可以让我们从遗憾中学到东西;空处承上启下,需要表达的意思应与“偶然的”相反,而是要主动的去学习。D项“我们必须有意识地寻找它们来提高自己”符合文意,其中them指代regrets或后文的missteps。故选D项。
【37题详解】
该段主旨句为“Kill the ghost.(杀死鬼魂)”,下文“This suggests that regret is like a ghost. Bring your ghost out of the shadows by making a list of your regrets.(这表明,遗憾就像鬼魂一样。把你的遗憾列出来,让你的灵魂走出阴影。)”提到关键词list“清单”,故空处需要既需要提到ghost,也需要提到list,起到总结本段的作用。E项“你会发现清单远没有鬼魂可怕。”符合文意。故选E项。
【38题详解】
上文“Forgive yourself.(原谅自己)”为本段主旨,结合生活常识可知,只有犯错了才需要原谅。A项“犯错之后,生活还会继续。”符合段意。故选A项。
【39题详解】
上文“If you never experienced regret, you would keep repeating the same behaviors that led you to miss opportunities.(如果你从未经历过遗憾,你就会不断重复同样的行为,导致你错过机会。)”设计关键词regret“遗憾”,并提到不断地重复同样的行为会导致自己错失机会,空处承上启下,也需要提到遗憾和行为。G项“如果你让遗憾教你道理,你可以记下你想如何改变你的行为。”中regret和behavior为原文复现。故选G项。
【40题详解】
下文“while trying to live without them is a lost opportunity to grow.(而试图没有它们还继续生活,会使你失去成长的机会。)”中的them指的是前文提到的regrets,while表转折,故空处为主句,并且也需要提及regrets。B项为完整的句子,意为“用它们填满你的大脑是毁灭性的。”,其中them同样指代前文regrets,符合文意。故选B项。
第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节,满分45分)

Before I even laced up my shoes, I’d already ___44___ myself I couldn’t do this. Instead of using the warm-up to find my pace, ____45____for success, and get excited to make the best of it, I adopted a____46____mind set (心态), revisited my list of excuses and___47___ further into the bad-attitude trap. I quit the workout____48____even before I started. After that, I shortened more workouts and my fitness moved backwards soon.
The ___49___, I realized, was that I treated my entire training plan like a tempo run — hard, fast and____50____. I felt that if I didn’t hit a workout early, I wouldn’t be able to____51____.
I realized I needed to treat my training like my favourite____52____: the long run. I love settling into a relaxed pace, enjoying the route and_____53_____on only one goal — finishing. I love that I can have a bad mile in the middle and still end ____54____ .
Now, when I set a new goal and_____55_____a new training plan, I have what I call “the long-run mindset”. I’m not ____56____for immediate results, as I have been in the past. I ____57____more about the big picture and my long-term goals as a____58____. Yes, there is still an important place for hard, fast tempo runs, but I have_____59_____ my attitude, to think bigger than short-term ____60____ and instead work toward lifelong success.

67. whose 68. punishment
69. as 70. has become
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国传统节气“秋分”的相关知识。
【61题详解】
考查形容词。句意:中国传统的农历将一年分为24个节气。空处修饰名词Chinese lunar calendar,应用形容词形式作定语,traditional是形容词,表示“传统的”。故填traditional。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:2000多年前,古代中国人根据对太阳运动的观察,创建了这一总体框架来标记每年的时间流逝。分析句子结构,空处作非谓语动词,be based on为固定短语,表示“以……为基础”,作非谓语动词时去掉be动词即可。故填based。
【63题详解】
考查冠词。句意:一年中的第16个节气,秋分,于这一年9月23日开始,至10月7日结束。序数词16th前应用定冠词the,置于句首,首字母大写。故填The。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它位于秋天的中点,将秋天分成两个相等的部分。分析句子结构,空处作非谓语动词,句中It指代Autumn Equinox,divide与逻辑主语It之间是主动关系,应用现在分词形式作状语。故填dividing。
【65题详解】
考查形容词。句意:之后,阳光直射的位置向南移动,使得北半球的白天变短,夜晚变长。结合语意,此处表示“使得白天更短,夜晚更长”,空处应用形容词的比较级形式longer,表示“更长的”。故填longer。
【66题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:主人会邀请客人用手向远处的壶里扔箭。invite sb. to do sth.为固定搭配,表示“邀请某人做某事”,所以空处应用动词不定式形式。故填to throw。
【67题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:箭射不中壶的参与者必须喝酒作为惩罚。分析句子结构,空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词players,先行词指人,结合语意,此处表示“参与者的箭”,应用关系代词whose引导从句。故填whose。
【68题详解】
考查名词。句意:箭射不中壶的参与者必须喝酒作为惩罚。不定冠词a后接名词punishment,表示“惩罚”,作介词as的宾语。故填punishment。
【69题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:现今,中国人会用很多方式庆祝它,比如举办丰收节、吃秋菜(一种秋天的蔬菜)和螃蟹、赏花和祭月。such as为固定搭配,表示“例如”,符合题意。故填as。
【70题详解】
考查时态。句意:这种中国习俗已经成为世界的游戏。根据句中already可知,句子应用现在完成时,主语This Chinese custom是单数,谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式has become。故填has become。

4. take→taking
5. or→and
6. successful→successfully
7. exciting→excited
8. that→than
9. 删除know后面的it
10. enable→enables
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者上的一节实验课和自己对实验课的喜爱。
【详解】1. 考查冠词。句意:每节实验课,老师都会教我们一个有趣的实验。interesting发音以元音音素开头,应用不定冠词an,修饰单数可数名词experiment。故将a改为an。
2. 考查动词时态。句意:今天,老师向我们展示了如何让蜡烛在水下燃烧。根据时间状语Today和下文可知,讲述已经发生的事情,主句谓语动词show应用一般过去时态。故将shows改为showed。
3. 考查非谓语动词。句意:老师首先解释了实验背后的科学原理,并希望我们记住它。want sb. to do...为固定搭配,用不定式作宾语补足语。故在remember前加to。
4. 考查非谓语动词。句意:记完笔记,在老师的指导下,我们小心翼翼地把蜡烛放入水中点燃。介词After后用动名词作宾语。故将take改为taking。
5. 考查连词。句意:记完笔记,在老师的指导下,我们小心翼翼地把蜡烛放入水中点燃。根据句意,“把蜡烛放入水中”和“点燃”是并列关系,非选择关系。故将or改为and。
6. 考查副词。句意:最后,每个人都成功地完成了实验。修饰动词completed,用副词successfully。故将successful改为successfully。
7. 考查形容词。句意:我们很兴奋。表明主语We的状态,用-ed形容词excited,意为“感到激动的,兴奋的”;-ing形容词exciting意为“令人兴奋的,令人激动的”,常修饰物。故将exciting改为excited。
8. 考查固定句型。句意:我们刚做完实验,就兴高采烈地把老师团团围住。no sooner...than...是固定句型,意为“刚……就……”。故将that改为than。
9. 考查定语从句。句意:我们都知道,上科学实验课可以让学生学到很多精彩的科学知识。“As we all know it”是由关系代词as引导的定语从句,as在句中作谓语动词know的宾语,故作宾语的代词it多余。故将删除know后面的it。
10. 考查主谓一致。句意:我们都知道,上科学实验课可以让学生学到很多精彩的科学知识。动名词短语作主语,谓语动词用单数形式。故将enable改为enables。
