Where will you go next Our editors and explorers pick some most exciting destinations for the year ahead. Grab your bags and go!
Mostar, Bosnia
Partially destroyed during the Bosnian War (1992-1995) , history-rich Mostar still bears scars of the past. Wander around and you’ll pass newly renovated apartments next to buildings riddled with bullet holes. Local and intemational artists regularly decorate the abandoned structures with colorful murals. Mostar’s most tangible image of peace is the 16th-century Stari Most, rebuilt in 2004. It connects the city’s predominantly Christian Croat west side with the mainly Muslim Bosniak east.
Tohoku, Japan
Less than three hours by train from Tokyo, home of the 2020 Summer Olympic Games, Tohoku features pristine forests, gorges and crater lakes, thousand-year-old temples and shrines, and venerable local festivals— yet less than 2 percent of international travelers come here. For skiers, Tohoku regularly records some of the planet’s heaviest snowfalls, and resorts such as Appi Kogen are exhilaratingly uncrowded.
National Blue Trail, Hungary
Hungary is a dream hiking destination thanks to the country’s National Blue Trail. It’s part of the nearly 6, 500-mile European long-distance walking route E4, which begins in Spain and ends in Cyprus. So, while you could use the Blue Trail as a launchpad for an epic, cross-Europe trek, Hungary’s historic route is best experienced as a singular destination.
Zakouma National Park, Chad
Home to a rapidly growing African elephant population— some 559 in 2019 and a thousand expected by 2024-Zakouma National Park is an under-the-radar African safari destination. The park’s location, in southeastern Chad, one of the world’s least visited countries, makes Zakouma a best-kept secret— one worth sharing to help ensure its continued success.
1. Which destination fits you best if you are fond of hiking
A. Mostar. B. National Blue Trail. C. Tohoku. D. Zakouma National Park.
2. What do Tohoku and Zakouma National Park have in common
A. They are both far from the city’s capital. B. They are very famous for local festivals.
C. They are less popular and attract fewer tourists. D. They are the best choices for sports enthusiasts.
3. In which section of a newspaper can the text be found
A. Environment. B. Travel. C. Culture. D. Business.
B
French writer Annie Eraux won the 2022 Nobel Prize in literature on Oct 6. She is the first French female to win the prize. In the words of the Nobel Committee Emaux was given the award “for the courage and amazing insight” of her writing.
Having spent over five decades as a writer, the 82-year-old winner has published more than 20 books to her name, including Cleaned Out (1974) , Shame (1997) and A Girl’s Story (2016) .
Rather than consider herself a writer of fiction, Eraux has used the term “an ethnologist (民族学家)of herself” to describe herself.
Born in 1940 in a rural village in Normandy, France, Ernaux grew up in a working-class environment as her parents ran a combined grocery store and cafe. She worked as a teacher before becoming a full-time writer. Her upbringing features heavily in her novels, as well as her experiences navigating adolescence and adulthood. For example, the book Shame explores the theme of childhood trauma (创伤) while A Girl’s Story follows a young woman’s coming of age in the 1950s.
Though the matters Ernaux describes in her books are serious and even sometimes heavy, they are always written in a plain language. Emaux described her style as “flat writing” through which she aims to tell her stones objectivelv. “Unshaped by florid (过多修饰的) description or overwhelming emotions, noted Fox News.”
“She writes about things that no one else writes about, for instance her jealousy, her experiencesas an abandoned lover and so forth. I mean, really hard experiences,” Anders Olsson, chairman of the Nobel Committee for Literature, said after the award announcement in Stockholm. He added, “She gives words for these experiences that are very simple and striking. They are short books, but they are really moving.”
4. What can we learn about Annie Ernaux from the text
A. She is a full-time writer all her life.
B. She is the first French person to win the Nobel Prize.
C. The Nobel Committee described her as “an ethnologist of herself”.
D. She was awarded for the bravery and observations shown in her writing.
5. Where did Emaux get inspiration for her works
A. Her students’lives. B. Her personal experiences.
C. The history of her hometown. D. The stories of guests in her cafe.
6. Which of the following best describes Emaux’s writing style
A. Plain and relaxing. B. Descriptive and serious.
C. Emotional and touching. D. Objective and easy to understand.
7. Why is Annie Ernaux different from other writers according to Anders Olsson
A. She suffered a lot of hardships. B. Her works are short and moving.
C. Her works are about unexplored subjects. D. She shares painful feelings through her writing.
C
A new study released in the journal Plant and Cell Physiology suggests that ethanol (乙醇) — or alcohol-can help plants survive in times of drought, even for as long as two weeks without water.
To come up with their finding, the researchers grew wheat and rice plants, regularly watering them, and then added ethanol to the soil in one group of plants over three days. They then kept both groups deprived of (中断) water for two weeks and found that drunk plants grew better than untreated ones. Around 75% of the drunk wheat and rice plants survived after rewatering, while less than 5% of the untreated plants did.
The study also looked at how ethanol protected a plant. Using arabidopsis, a small plant commonly used in experiments, the researchers discovered that when ethanol-treated specimens (样品) were deprived of water, tiny openings on the leaves’ surface closed up to preserve water and heat.
The team studied arabidopsis’ gene expression and found that the ethanol-treated plants started behaving if they were experiencing drought, even before they were actually deprived of water. This gene expression gave the plants an advantage in preparing for a drought.
The researchers said, “The finding is not just useful for the world’s gardens, but also for farms growing vital crops like rice and wheat. Drought-resistant crops could help achieve sustainable food security, which is an issue affecting many parts of the world right now.” They added that ethanol was a useful and simple way to increase food production all over the world in times of drought. “The application of ethanol to plants would be a potent agricultural method to enhance drought resistance in different plants,” said Motoaki Seki, the study’s lead author. But, he warned that the ethanol needed to be used reasonably as higher concentration of ethanol prevented plants growing. Seki added, “We will soon begin testing ethanol on plants in real fields.”
8. What did the researchers find in their study
A. Plants produce ethanol in times of drought.
B. Drunk plants could live longer without water.
C. There is no need to water house plants every day.
D. It requires more water to grow wheat in the field.
9. Why do the researchers do the study
A. To cut the cost of food production. B. To bring about the change of diet.
C. To generate increases in food price. D. To help maintain global food security
10. What does the underlined word “potent” in the last paragraph mean
A. Effective. B. Basic. C. Fictional. D. Necessary.
11. What does Seki want to stress about ethanol in the text
A. It would fit all kinds of plants. B. It has been applied to real fields.
C. It should be used in proper amount. D. It enables wheat plants to grow fast.
D
As students return to school this fall, many of them— perhaps especially those from historically disadvantaged student groups will be starting the academic year with achievement levels lower than where they were at the beginning of summer break. This phenomenon is sometimes referred to as summer learning loss. We review what is known about summer loss and offer suggestions for schools looking to solve the problem.
The recent studies on summer loss have been rather comprehensive. One study found that students, on average, lost between 25-30 percent of their school-year learning over the summer; additionally, black and Latino students tended to gain less over the school year and lose more over the summer compared to white students.
However, an analysis of the national study found little evidence of overall loss over the summers after grades K and 1, and the summer loss gaps widened in some subjects and grades but not others. Von Hippel and Hamrock re-analyzed two earlier data sets and concluded that gaps “do not necessarily. . . grow fastest over the summer”. Thus, it seems summer loss occurs, though not universally across geography, grade level or subject.
Schools want to address the issue of summer learning loss not only because it may widen achievement gaps, but also because it “wastes” so much of the knowledge students have gained during the school year. Summer loss also undoubtedly increases the amount of time teachers have to spend “re-teaching” last year’s content.
Traditionally, educators and policy makers have relied on conventional summer school programs to solve summer learning loss. Not surprisingly, research suggests that programs are more effective when students attend consistently and spend more time on task academically. Regardless of the design, these policies should offer engaging options for students over the summer so that summer learning programs do not feel like punishment for students who would rather be enjoying summer vacation. Doing so would set more students up for success as the school year gets underway.
12. What’s the author’s aim by writing Paragraph 1
A. To raise a question. B. To make a comparison.
C. To analyze the figures. D. To illustrate an example.
13. According to the studies, what can we know about summer learning loss
A. Immigrant students experienced the most summer loss.
B. White students did not lose learning over the summer.
C. Summer learning loss after grades K and 1 was alarming.
D. Summer learning loss seemed to vary in grades and subjects.
14. Why do schools want to solve the problem according to the fourth paragraph
A. It may narrow achievement gaps.
B. It may cause repetitive work for teachers.
C. It may stop students gaining more knowledge.
D. It may increase teachers’ new teaching content.
15. What does the author think of summer school programs
A. The conventional programs are ineffective.
B. Students should do all academic tasks.
C. More choices should be provided for students.
D. The programs are punishment for many student.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Feeling upset is a normal part of life. Something stressful may occur everywhere, and make you angry or anxious. ___16___ However, we can decide how we behave and react to the troubles we face. Here are some useful ways to keep our cool when we feel frustrated.
Remove yourself from the situation.
Conflicts with others can be difficult to deal with. ___17___ It is OK to say, “‘m going to take a break” and go for a walk or find a quiet place to sit and cool off. The goal is to give yourself some space to calm down and consider what to do next.
___18___
When we’re upset, our nervous system will speed up our heart rate and muscles tense. It prepares the body as if to meet an attack. You can soften such physical reaction by using practical techniques. If possible, find a safe place, sit comfortably and focus on your breath, breathing deeply and evenly. Mindful breathing helps us calm our feelings.
Lift your mood with laughter.
Laughter relieves the tension we feel when depressed. We can think of a joke or watch a video that always makes us roar with laughter. Afterwards, you may be able to lift the fog of frustration. Make sure what you use is not mean-spirited, though. ___19___
Change your language.
Once things appear disappointing many of us might punish ourselves with unkind words. In fact, it doesn’t have to be this way. ___20___ For example, instead of saying “I always mess things up”, we could say, “I made a mistake, but I’ll do it better next time.”
A. Do breathing exercises to relax.
B. Keep yourself away from the noise.
C. We can’t control what is happening around us.
D. We should turn negative thoughts into positive statements.
E. Sometimes we need to leave from the unpleasant condition.

“Mom, I can’t... ”
I was ____31____ by my mother’s eager, joyful look— a look I could not really understand. “Let’s see what it is, honey. Hurry and open it.” It was a blow dryer.

47. 阅读下面短文,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一个完整的故事。
At 63, Jerry Valencia was determined to get his college degree — and his master’s degree, too. The student arrived early, sat front and center, and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one. I’d say that he had about 40 years on his classmates in my undergraduate communications class at California State University, Los Angeles. He eagerly jumped into class discussions, with his modest humor and wisdom of experience. And he was always respectful of the other students’ views, as if each of them were a teacher. Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile — and he left with one, too.
Valencia always said that these students gave him the confidence and joy that he didn’t need to feel bad about his age.
One day, I found Valencia sitting on campus. He said he would have to stop taking classes that semester and reapply for next year. By then, he hoped to have earned enough money from construction jobs he used to take to pay for his tuition. But he said he would still come to campus to attend events, see his friends and take the final exams. He asked seriously whether he could still sit in my communications class.
“Sure,” I said.
Soon there he was again, back at his old desk, front and center, jumping into our discussions on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles-a 63-year-old junior with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in my class.
For an assignment on changing neighborhoods, Valencia wrote about a favorite local chain restaurant that was “unceremoniously (随便地) closed”. He called it as a theft of childhood. “It is almost as if someone has stolen that childhood and replaced it with a slippery hill where everything they cherish will slide away,” he wrote. A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t pay that semester’s tuition. However, he was still making his efforts to do the homework well.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
In my eyes, Valencia is an old man with strong will.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I was pretty astonished when hearing what he had said

French writer Annie Eraux won the 2022 Nobel Prize in literature on Oct 6. She is the first French female to win the prize. In the words of the Nobel Committee, Emaux was given the award “for the courage and amazing insight” of her writing.
Having spent over five decades as a writer, the 82-year-old winner has published more than 20 books to her name, including Cleaned Out (1974) , Shame (1997) and A Girl’s Story (2016) .
Rather than consider herself a writer of fiction, Eraux has used the term “an ethnologist (民族学家)of herself” to describe herself.
Born in 1940 in a rural village in Normandy, France, Ernaux grew up in a working-class environment as her parents ran a combined grocery store and cafe. She worked as a teacher before becoming a full-time writer. Her upbringing features heavily in her novels, as well as her experiences navigating adolescence and adulthood. For example, the book Shame explores the theme of childhood trauma (创伤) while A Girl’s Story follows a young woman’s coming of age in the 1950s.
Though the matters Ernaux describes in her books are serious and even sometimes heavy, they are always written in a plain language. Emaux described her style as “flat writing” through which she aims to tell her stones objectivelv. “Unshaped by florid (过多修饰的) description or overwhelming emotions, noted Fox News.”
“She writes about things that no one else writes about, for instance her jealousy, her experiencesas an abandoned lover and so forth. I mean, really hard experiences,” Anders Olsson, chairman of the Nobel Committee for Literature, said after the award announcement in Stockholm. He added, “She gives words for these experiences that are very simple and striking. They are short books, but they are really moving.”
4. What can we learn about Annie Ernaux from the text
A. She is a full-time writer all her life.
B. She is the first French person to win the Nobel Prize.
C. The Nobel Committee described her as “an ethnologist of herself”.
D. She was awarded for the bravery and observations shown in her writing.
5. Where did Emaux get inspiration for her works
A. Her students’lives. B. Her personal experiences.
C. The history of her hometown. D. The stories of guests in her cafe.
6. Which of the following best describes Emaux’s writing style
A. Plain and relaxing. B. Descriptive and serious.
C. Emotional and touching. D. Objective and easy to understand.
7. Why is Annie Ernaux different from other writers according to Anders Olsson
A. She suffered a lot of hardships. B. Her works are short and moving.
C. Her works are about unexplored subjects. D. She shares painful feelings through her writing.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. C

A new study released in the journal Plant and Cell Physiology suggests that ethanol (乙醇) — or alcohol-can help plants survive in times of drought, even for as long as two weeks without water.
To come up with their finding, the researchers grew wheat and rice plants, regularly watering them, and then added ethanol to the soil in one group of plants over three days. They then kept both groups deprived of (中断) water for two weeks and found that drunk plants grew better than untreated ones. Around 75% of the drunk wheat and rice plants survived after rewatering, while less than 5% of the untreated plants did.
The study also looked at how ethanol protected a plant. Using arabidopsis, a small plant commonly used in experiments, the researchers discovered that when ethanol-treated specimens (样品) were deprived of water, tiny openings on the leaves’ surface closed up to preserve water and heat.
The team studied arabidopsis’ gene expression and found that the ethanol-treated plants started behaving if they were experiencing drought, even before they were actually deprived of water. This gene expression gave the plants an advantage in preparing for a drought.
The researchers said, “The finding is not just useful for the world’s gardens, but also for farms growing vital crops like rice and wheat. Drought-resistant crops could help achieve sustainable food security, which is an issue affecting many parts of the world right now.” They added that ethanol was a useful and simple way to increase food production all over the world in times of drought. “The application of ethanol to plants would be a potent agricultural method to enhance drought resistance in different plants,” said Motoaki Seki, the study’s lead author. But, he warned that the ethanol needed to be used reasonably as higher concentration of ethanol prevented plants growing. Seki added, “We will soon begin testing ethanol on plants in real fields.”
8. What did the researchers find in their study
A. Plants produce ethanol in times of drought.
B. Drunk plants could live longer without water.
C. There is no need to water house plants every day.
D. It requires more water to grow wheat in the field.
9. Why do the researchers do the study
A. To cut the cost of food production. B. To bring about the change of diet.
C. To generate increases in food price. D. To help maintain global food security
10. What does the underlined word “potent” in the last paragraph mean
A. Effective. B. Basic. C. Fictional. D. Necessary.
11. What does Seki want to stress about ethanol in the text
A. It would fit all kinds of plants. B. It has been applied to real fields.
C. It should be used in proper amount. D. It enables wheat plants to grow fast.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。最新研究表明,在土壤中加入乙醇(酒精)可以帮助植物在干旱时期存活更长时间。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A new study released in the journal Plant and Cell Physiology suggests that ethanol(乙醇)—or alcohol —can help plants survive in times of drought, even for as long as two weeks without water. (发表在《植物与细胞生理学》杂志上的一项新研究表明,乙醇(酒精)可以帮助植物在干旱时期存活下来,甚至可以在没有水的情况下存活长达两周)”可知,研究人员发现乙醇((酒精)可以帮助植物在缺水条件下存活更长时间。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段的““Drought-resistant crops could help achieve sustainable food security, which is an issue affecting many parts of the world right now.”They added that ethanol was a useful and simple way to increase food production all over the world in times of drought. (“抗旱作物有助于实现可持续粮食安全,这是目前影响世界许多地区的一个问题。”他们补充说,在干旱时期,乙醇是增加世界各地粮食产量的一种有用而简单的方法)”可知,研究人员进行这个实验是为了他们的发现可以在干旱时期提高全世界的粮食产量,从而有助于维护全球粮食安全。故选D。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“They added that ethanol was a useful and simple way to increase food production all over the world in times of drought. (他们补充说,在干旱时期,乙醇是增加世界各地粮食产量的一种有用而简单的方法)”以及后文“agricultural method to enhance drought resistance in various plants (提高各种植物抗旱性的农业方法)”可推断,在干旱时期,乙醇是增加世界各地粮食产量的一种有用而简单的方法,所以将乙醇应用于植物将是一种有效的农业方法,可以增强各种植物的抗旱性。故画线词意思是“有效的”。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But, he warned that the ethanol needed to be used reasonably as higher concentration of ethanol prevented plants growing. (但是,他警告说,乙醇需要合理使用,因为高浓度的乙醇会阻碍植物生长)”可推断,Seki想强调的是在土壤中加入乙醇应当适量。故选C。
D
As students return to school this fall, many of them— perhaps especially those from historically disadvantaged student groups will be starting the academic year with achievement levels lower than where they were at the beginning of summer break. This phenomenon is sometimes referred to as summer learning loss. We review what is known about summer loss and offer suggestions for schools looking to solve the problem.
The recent studies on summer loss have been rather comprehensive. One study found that students, on average, lost between 25-30 percent of their school-year learning over the summer; additionally, black and Latino students tended to gain less over the school year and lose more over the summer compared to white students.
However, an analysis of the national study found little evidence of overall loss over the summers after grades K and 1, and the summer loss gaps widened in some subjects and grades but not others. Von Hippel and Hamrock re-analyzed two earlier data sets and concluded that gaps “do not necessarily. . . grow fastest over the summer”. Thus, it seems summer loss occurs, though not universally across geography, grade level or subject.
Schools want to address the issue of summer learning loss not only because it may widen achievement gaps, but also because it “wastes” so much of the knowledge students have gained during the school year. Summer loss also undoubtedly increases the amount of time teachers have to spend “re-teaching” last year’s content.
Traditionally, educators and policy makers have relied on conventional summer school programs to solve summer learning loss. Not surprisingly, research suggests that programs are more effective when students attend consistently and spend more time on task academically. Regardless of the design, these policies should offer engaging options for students over the summer so that summer learning programs do not feel like punishment for students who would rather be enjoying summer vacation. Doing so would set more students up for success as the school year gets underway.
12. What’s the author’s aim by writing Paragraph 1
A. To raise a question. B. To make a comparison.
C. To analyze the figures. D. To illustrate an example.
13. According to the studies, what can we know about summer learning loss
A. Immigrant students experienced the most summer loss.
B. White students did not lose learning over the summer.
C. Summer learning loss after grades K and 1 was alarming.
D. Summer learning loss seemed to vary in grades and subjects.
14. Why do schools want to solve the problem according to the fourth paragraph
A. It may narrow achievement gaps.
B. It may cause repetitive work for teachers.
C. It may stop students gaining more knowledge.
D. It may increase teachers’ new teaching content.
15. What does the author think of summer school programs
A. The conventional programs are ineffective.
B. Students should do all academic tasks.
C. More choices should be provided for students.
D. The programs are punishment for many student.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了今年秋天,当学生们返校时,他们中的许多人——尤其是那些历史上处于不利地位的学生群体——将以比暑假开始时更低的成绩开始新学年。这种现象有时被称为夏季学习损失。我们回顾了关于夏季失学的已知情况,并为希望解决这一问题的学校提供了建议。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“As students return to school this fall, many of them— perhaps especially those from historically disadvantaged student groups will be starting the academic year with achievement levels lower than where they were at the beginning of summer break. This phenomenon is sometimes referred to as summer learning loss. We review what is known about summer loss and offer suggestions for schools looking to solve the problem.”(今年秋天,当学生们返校时,他们中的许多人——尤其是那些历史上处于不利地位的学生群体——将以比暑假开始时更低的成绩开始新学年。这种现象有时被称为夏季学习损失。我们回顾了关于夏季失学的已知情况,并为希望解决这一问题的学校提供了建议。)可推知,作者写第一段的目的是提出一个问题。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“However, an analysis of the national study found little evidence of overall loss over the summers after grades K and 1, and the summer loss gaps widened in some subjects and grades but not others. Von Hippel and Hamrock re-analyzed two earlier data sets and concluded that gaps “do not necessarily. . . grow fastest over the summer”. Thus, it seems summer loss occurs, though not universally across geography, grade level or subject.”(然而,对这项全国性研究的分析发现,几乎没有证据表明,在K和1年级之后的暑假里,学生的总体成绩会下降,而且在某些科目和年级上,学生的成绩差距会扩大,但在其他科目和年级上则没有。Von Hippel和Hamrock重新分析了两个早期的数据集,并得出结论,差距“不一定……在夏季生长最快”。因此,夏季流失似乎是普遍存在的,尽管不是在地理、年级或学科上普遍存在。)可知,根据这些研究,夏季学习损失似乎因年级和科目而异。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Schools want to address the issue of summer learning loss not only because it may widen achievement gaps, but also because it “wastes” so much of the knowledge students have gained during the school year. Summer loss also undoubtedly increases the amount of time teachers have to spend “re-teaching” last year’s content.”(学校希望解决暑期学习损失的问题,不仅因为它可能会扩大成绩差距,还因为它“浪费”了学生在学年中获得的大量知识。夏季的损失无疑也增加了教师花在“重新教授”去年的内容上的时间。)可知,学校要解决这个问题是因为这可能会导致教师重复工作。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Not surprisingly, research suggests that programs are more effective when students attend consistently and spend more time on task academically. Regardless of the design, these policies should offer engaging options for students over the summer so that summer learning programs do not feel like punishment for students who would rather be enjoying summer vacation. Doing so would set more students up for success as the school year gets underway.”(不出所料,研究表明,当学生坚持上课,花更多的时间在学业上时,课程会更有效。无论设计如何,这些政策都应该为学生在暑假期间提供有吸引力的选择,这样暑期学习计划就不会让那些宁愿享受暑假的学生感到惩罚。随着学年的开始,这样做会让更多的学生为成功做好准备。)可推知,作者认为暑期学校项目的应该为学生提供更多的选择。故选C项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了秧歌是中国一种广泛存在且具有代表性的群体性民间舞蹈的总称,主要分布在中国北方。它以不同的名字而闻名,在不同的地方有不同的风格。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:它以不同的名字而闻名,在不同的地方有不同的风格。修饰名词places应用形容词various,作定语。故填various。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:秧歌主要有两种类型:踩跷表演的称为“高跷秧歌”,不踩跷表演的称为“地秧歌”。非限制性定语从句修饰先行词Gaoqiao Yangge (stilt yangge),在从句中作主语,指物。故填which。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:秧歌主要有两种类型:踩跷表演的称为“高跷秧歌”,不踩跷表演的称为“地秧歌”。后跟名词作宾语,表示“没有,不”应用介词without。故填without。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:今天,秧歌主要由秧歌团表演,每个秧歌团有几十人甚至上百人,形式有群舞、二人舞或三人舞等。分析句子结构可知此处为独立主格结构,each与contain构成主动关系,故用现在分词形式,故填containing。
【40题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:如果因为角色需要,表演者可以在锣、鼓、唢呐等乐器的帮助下跳舞,手拿手帕、雨伞、棍棒、鼓或铜制现金鞭子。主语与谓语构成被动关系,且陈述客观事实用一般现在时,主语为they,谓语用复数。故填are required。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:如果因为角色需要,表演者可以在锣、鼓、唢呐等乐器的帮助下跳舞,手拿手帕、雨伞、棍棒、鼓或铜制现金鞭子。表示“在……的帮助下”短语为with the assistance of,故填assistance。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:无论是有力的还是温和的,风格或动作都是梦幻般的和娱乐的。此处特指秧歌的风格和动作,应用定冠词。故填the。
【43题详解】
考查最高级。句意:作为中国北方最流行的民间舞蹈之一,秧歌既可以作为表演的一部分,也可以作为个人表演,在民间非常受欢迎。此处为one of+形容词最高级+可数名词复数,在popular前加the most,故填the most popular。
【44题详解】
考查时态。句意:今天,随着文化环境的变化和农村经济的快速发展,能够掌握秧歌传统技法和地道风格的民间艺人寥寥无几。根据主句谓语exist可知为一般现在时,主语为the cultural environment,谓语用三单形式。故填changes。

考查副词。句意:因此,保护和传承秧歌是十分必要的。修饰动词need应用副词extremely,故填extremely。

第二节读后续写(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面短文,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一个完整的故事。
At 63, Jerry Valencia was determined to get his college degree — and his master’s degree, too. The student arrived early, sat front and center, and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one. I’d say that he had about 40 years on his classmates in my undergraduate communications class at California State University, Los Angeles. He eagerly jumped into class discussions, with his modest humor and wisdom of experience. And he was always respectful of the other students’ views, as if each of them were a teacher. Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile — and he left with one, too.
Valencia always said that these students gave him the confidence and joy that he didn’t need to feel bad about his age.
One day, I found Valencia sitting on campus. He said he would have to stop taking classes that semester and reapply for next year. By then, he hoped to have earned enough money from construction jobs he used to take to pay for his tuition. But he said he would still come to campus to attend events, see his friends and take the final exams. He asked seriously whether he could still sit in my communications class.
“Sure,” I said.
Soon there he was again, back at his old desk, front and center, jumping into our discussions on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles-a 63-year-old junior with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in my class.
For an assignment on changing neighborhoods, Valencia wrote about a favorite local chain restaurant that was “unceremoniously (随便地) closed”. He called it as a theft of childhood. “It is almost as if someone has stolen that childhood and replaced it with a slippery hill where everything they cherish will slide away,” he wrote. A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t pay that semester’s tuition. However, he was still making his efforts to do the homework well.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
In my eyes, Valencia is an old man with strong will.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I was pretty astonished when hearing what he had said.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 In my eyes, Valencia is an old man with strong will.
Seeing Valencia showed up and took the final exam, I felt relieved. There is something splendidly unreasonable about Valencia’s determination to get a four-year degree and then a master’s. So after the exam I had a chat with him with curiosity. Valencia said he wanted to stay in school until he earned a master’s degree, but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college, so he had a long way to go.
I was pretty astonished when hearing what he had said.
I needed to know more. With smiles on his face, he told his story. Life was not easy for young Valencia. But he has always been full of desire for learning. He went to school while making money. After unremitting efforts, he was finally admitted to the college. He felt excited and happy. In the years that followed, Valencia struggled to finish college. Valencia’s grade in my class this semester will not show up on his transcripts. But I’m giving him an A- and in the most important ways, it counts.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,文章讲述了Jerry Valencia今年63岁了,决心拿到大学学位——以及硕士学位。但是他没有足够的钱支付学费,不得不停止上课去赚钱,并重新申请明年的课程。但是他仍然会来学校上课,并积极学习。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“在我看来,Valencia是一个意志坚强的老人。”可知,第一段可以描写Valencia来参加期末考试时作者的心理活动,以及作者想知道原因的好奇心。
②由第二段句首内容“听到他所说的话,我很吃惊。”可知,第二段可以描写听到Valencia的话后,作者更加的想了解这位老人,老人描述自己生活时的动作、表情,最后升华文章的主旨:努力的人让人敬佩。
2.续写线索:参加考试——聊天——引起好奇——讲故事——让人敬佩——获得成绩
3.词汇激活
行为类
①出现:show up/turn up/ appear
②聊天:have a chat/have a small talk
③赚钱:make money/earn money
