My grandmother loves making bread and cakes, and is always surprised that the rest of my family never do any baking (烘焙). So my parents decided they’d take me and my younger sister on a course, so that we could all find out how to make bread and pizza, our favourite food! We booked our places, and set off for Oakton Farm in the countryside.
It was a very long drive, and when we arrived we went straight to bed. The next morning we got up early, fed the ducks on the lake, and looked at the bull in the next field. Then we met our teacher, Michael, who seemed quite strict, and the other parents and children, who were really friendly.
The cooking part was wonderful. Michael gave us long white coats to wear, which we all felt a bit silly in. Then we all made bread rolls, mixing flour and water with our hands. My sister kept complaining (抱怨) at first. Then even she started to enjoy it, and to concentrate on following the instructions. Dad made lots of mess, I got flour on the floor and in my hair, and Mum didn’t even get angry! I took ages to make my rolls, though.
We finally put our initials on the bottom of each roll, then made some pizzas and decorated them, which was fun. And we didn’t even have to do the washing-up! For something to do while the pizzas were cooking, we all went for a swim in the lake. It was fantastic. Then we went back inside and ate our pizzas. They were the best we’d ever tasted!

【答案】advisescommon
【详解】
根据语境可知，此句用一般现在时。上下文对比可知，第一空处缺“提出建议”，可用词组“advise sb. about sth.”表示“关于……给某人提建议”，又因为主语是“Robert Hunt”为第三人称单数，所以谓语动词要用动词三单，故第一空填advises；第二空处应为“常见的”，用形容词“common”修饰名词“problems”，故第二空填common。故填advises；common。
50．加入卷心菜、西红柿和洋葱，再煮上10分钟。
Add the cabbage, tomatoes and onion and ____ for ____ 10 minutes.
【答案】cookanother
【详解】
根据中英文对照，缺少“再煮”。cook“煮”；another“又一，再一”，分析句子可知，此句为祈使句，第一空应该用动词原形。故填cook；another。

Li Shijin, 30, didn’t expect to make a living through his voice.
Li began to work as a company salesman in Liaoning Province in 2012. He tried to find a part-time job as a wedding host to improve his confidence.
Around the Spring Festival in 2014, he started listening to audiobooks (音频书). After being a listener for two years, he decided to record himself reading books. Then, he posted his first audiobook Youth Will Not Return on Qingting in 2016. It was broadcast (广播) and listened to about 20 million times.
A year later, after he had read three audiobooks, he was signed up as a voice performer by Qingting. However, he was under great pressure (压力) when he was signed up by Qingting. “To improve my ability, I didn’t sleep for more than five hours a day during that year. I had better results the following year.” Also, to improve his performance, Li had a training course at Communication University of China to learn dubbing (配音) and how to write a play in 2018. So far, he has completed nearly 30 works on Qingting.
On the road to success, Li put a lot of effort. Many people tried to get a foothold (立足地) but failed, while he made it!
When talking about the secret of his success, he said, “Many people have good abilities and many work very hard, but they may fail. Early birds get worms. I believe they will get chances and succeed sooner or later if they hold on to their dreams and keep on trying.”
36．Why did Li work as a wedding host?
A．To develop his interest. B．To make a living.
C．To make friends. D．To improve himself.
37．How did Li feel after being signed up by Qingting?
A．Happy. B．Sad. C．Worried. D．Lucky.
38．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

My grandmother loves making bread and cakes, and is always surprised that the rest of my family never do any baking (烘焙). So my parents decided they’d take me and my younger sister on a course, so that we could all find out how to make bread and pizza, our favourite food! We booked our places, and set off for Oakton Farm in the countryside.
It was a very long drive, and when we arrived we went straight to bed. The next morning we got up early, fed the ducks on the lake, and looked at the bull in the next field. Then we met our teacher, Michael, who seemed quite strict, and the other parents and children, who were really friendly.
The cooking part was wonderful. Michael gave us long white coats to wear, which we all felt a bit silly in. Then we all made bread rolls, mixing flour and water with our hands. My sister kept complaining (抱怨) at first. Then even she started to enjoy it, and to concentrate on following the instructions. Dad made lots of mess, I got flour on the floor and in my hair, and Mum didn’t even get angry! I took ages to make my rolls, though.
We finally put our initials on the bottom of each roll, then made some pizzas and decorated them, which was fun. And we didn’t even have to do the washing-up! For something to do while the pizzas were cooking, we all went for a swim in the lake. It was fantastic. Then we went back inside and ate our pizzas. They were the best we’d ever tasted!

四、完成句子
46．接着唱，不要停下来。
Just ___________, and don’t stop.

47．我们在28号下周五为她举办一次惊喜派对吧！

Robert Hunt ____ students about ____ problems.

Add the cabbage, tomatoes and onion and ____ for ____ 10 minutes.
【答案】cookanother
【详解】
根据中英文对照，缺少“再煮”。cook“煮”；another“又一，再一”，分析句子可知，此句为祈使句，第一空应该用动词原形。故填cook；another。
