【原文】Hi, there, everybody, I’m Jane Smith and welcome to Animal World. Before you start your visit, I’d like to tell you about a few special events happening here today. The first event is called The World of Ants, and it’s happening this morning quite soon in the Insect House. Dr. David Crocker is giving a lecture all about ants—the different types of ants, how they organize themselves, what they eat, their behavior and so on. It’s from 11 o’clock to 12 o’clock. At midday, that’s 12 o’clock, there’s a film which is just as fascinating, called The Great Migration. This is all about birds and how they move across continents and oceans. As I said, it’s a film which all the family will enjoy, and it’s on in Theater C, which you can see here just behind me, just a little farther down the hall past Theater A and Theater B—so bear that in mind for 12 o’ clock. It will last 45 minutes. The next event is called Encouraging Garden Wildlife and will take place in the Exhibition Room with Monica Chaddha. Monica will be showing you ways of encouraging animals, birds, and other wildlife to visit and live in your garden, how to place boxes for nests, what food to put out for them and all sorts of practical advice. That’s at 2:30, so just after lunch, and will last half an hour.

Weald & Downland Living Museum
Fun fact
Over 50 historic buildings from across the Weald and Downland area have been dismantled (拆除) and then reconstructed across a lovely 40-acre site in the South Downs national park. The collection of buildings represents almost a thousand years of rural life in south-east England: furnished just as they would have been in the past — complete with the homes, farms and public buildings. There’s a sense of exploring a real village as you wander between them along green paths, stopping to climb the stairs of a 17th-century craftsman’s (工匠) cottage to lie on the straw bed or sheltering from a shower in a smoky, 14th-century hall.
Getting there
The Stagecoach 60 bus service from Chichester to Midhurst stops just five minutes away at Grooms Yard, Singleton. The nearest railway stations are Chichester (2 miles) and Haslemere (7 miles). The museum is on Town Lane in Singleton, reached via the A286 from Chichester to Midhurst. Parking is free and there are disabled parking spaces opposite the museum shop.
Value for money?
Yes. It’s not cheap but it’s a special experience that easily fills a day. Plus, it’s a valuable cause worth supporting. Adults ￡14, children 5-17 and students ￡6.50, under-4s free, family ￡38 (two adults and two children) or ￡25 (one adult and three children).
Opening hours
Daily 10am-5pm (last entry 4pm).
21. What can visitors do in Weald & Downland Living Museum?
A. Take a shower in the hall.
B Stay overnight at a cottage.
C. Learn construction techniques.
D. Explore rural life centuries ago.
22. How much would a couple with their 5-year-old twin sons pay for admission?

【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据Fun fact部分中“The collection of buildings represents almost a thousand years of rural life in south-east England: furnished just as they would have been in the past —complete with the homes, farms and public buildings. There’s a sense of exploring a real village as you wander between them along green paths, stopping to climb the stairs of a 17th-century craftsman’s (工匠) cottage to lie on the straw bed or sheltering from a shower in a smoky, 14th-century hall.(这组建筑代表了英格兰东南部近千年的乡村生活：家具和过去一样，包括住宅、农场和公共建筑。当你沿着绿色小径漫步在这些村庄之间，停下来爬上17世纪工匠小屋的楼梯，躺在稻草床上，或者在烟雾缭绕的14世纪大厅里躲雨时，你会有一种探索真实村庄的感觉)”可知，游客在Weald & Downland生活博物馆可以探索几个世纪前的乡村生活。故选D项。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据Value for money?部分中“family ￡38 (two adults and two children) or ￡25 (one adult and three children). (家庭38英镑(两名成人和两名儿童)或25英镑(一名成人和三名儿童))”可知，一对夫妇和他们两个5岁的双胞胎儿子的门票是38英镑。故选C项。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据Getting there部分中“Parking is free and there are disabled parking spaces opposite the museum shop.(停车场是免费的，博物馆商店对面有残疾人停车位)”可知，Weald & Downland生活博物馆有专门的残疾人停车位，为残障人士提供了体贴的服务。故选D项。
B
On a hot summer afternoon along the Mandavi River, Shweta Hule wraps her sari around her ankles and bends to pick wild “weeds” from the river and drop them into a bowl. The plants will be made into fritters (炸果饼), to be served at the little restaurant attached to the B&B Hule manages in the Indian coastal town of Vengurla.
Wild edible (可食用的) plants are common in kitchens here. Hule’s weed is juicy, which is found in mangrove forests. Harvesting some of the plant is helping conserve the mangroves, a globally endangered ecosystem of salt-tolerant trees that stop coastal erosion (侵蚀) and absorb storm damage.
Hule is head of Swamini, a self-help group set up by nine women from a fishing community in Vengurla who started Mandavi Eco Tourism in 2017. Vengurla is known for its beautiful beaches and seafood, but the climate crisis has made fishing for a living unsustainable, so people are trying to find other sources of income. They came up with the idea of running mangrove safaris (观光游) for tourists in Vengurla’s Mandavi River.
The safaris offer visitors a unique hour-long tour of the mangroves. Food has also become a key attraction: local spicy coconut curries, with homegrown or wild vegetables. Tourists are encouraged to go crabbing, and their catch is cooked and served.
Hule only discovered recently that the weed was edible when she met tourists from another coastal city. She researched these leaves and learned that the salty plant is rich in vitamins. She made her own version of the fritters, with chickpea flour, and presented it at the wild vegetable festival. “It was an instant hit. This boosted the confidence to include these fritters in our restaurant menu,” says Hule.
Swamini’s lodging house also serves vegetarian meals and plates of fish and crab sourced from the river. “The satisfaction after the visitors enjoy our meal is the real currency. We had guests from London who were so happy with our food that they took down the recipe. Such people help our business grow. What more can we want?” says Hule.
24. Which of the following can best describe the example of Shweta Hule?
A. Do as the Romans do.
B. Strike while the iron is hot.
C. Kill two birds with one stone.
D. Bite off more than you can chew.
25. What does Swamini offer to visitors?
A. Eco-tours and accommodation.
B. Fishing guide service.
C. Vegetable growing techniques.
D. Hands-on cooking classes.
26. Why were Hule’s fritters well-received?
A. They were less expensive.
B. They were traditional.
C. They had their own features.
D. They got strongly promoted.
27. How did Hule feel about tourists’ obtaining her food recipe?
A. Lost. B. Proud. C. Worried. D. Curious.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. C 27. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Shweta Hule和几位妇女创办Swamini为游客提供生态旅游和有当地特色的食宿的故事。他们的举动不仅帮助当地人增加了收入，还在一定程度上保护了红树林。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“bends to pick wild “weeds” from the river and drop them into a bowl. The plants will be made into fritters (炸果饼), to be served at the little restaurant attached to the B&B Hule manages in the Indian coastal town of Vengurla.(弯腰从河里拣起野生的“杂草”，扔进一个碗里。这些植物将被制成炸果饼，供应给在胡勒在印度沿海城镇文古拉经营的民旅馆附属小餐馆)”和第二段“Wild edible (可食用的) plants are common in kitchens here. Hule’s weed is juicy, which is found in mangrove forests. Harvesting some of the plant is helping conserve the mangroves, a globally endangered ecosystem of salt-tolerant trees that stop coastal erosion (侵蚀) and absorb storm damage.(野生可食用植物在这里的厨房里很常见。Hule的杂草多汁，这种草生长在红树林中。收割一些这种植物有助于保护红树林，这是一种全球濒危的耐盐树木生态系统，可以阻止海岸侵蚀并吸收风暴破坏)”可知，这些杂草可以被制成食物，而且除掉它们有助于保护红树林，由此推知，Shweta Hule的例子可以说是一举两得。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“Hule is head of Swamini, a self-help group set up by nine women from a fishing community in Vengurla who started Mandavi Eco Tourism in 2017.(Hule是Swamini的负责人，这是一个自助组织，由文古拉一个渔业社区的九名妇女成立，她们于2017年创办了Mandavi生态旅游)”和第四段“The safaris offer visitors a unique hour-long tour of the mangroves. Food has also become a key attraction: local spicy coconut curries, with homegrown or wild vegetables. Tourists are encouraged to go crabbing, and their catch is cooked and served.(野生动物园为游客提供了一个独特的长达一小时的红树林之旅。食物也成为了一个关键的吸引力：当地的辛辣椰子咖喱，配以本土或野生蔬菜。游客们被鼓励去捕螃蟹，他们捕获的东西被煮熟后端上桌)”以及最后一段第一句“Swamini’s lodging house also serves vegetarian meals and plates of fish and crab sourced from the river.（斯瓦米尼的旅馆还供应素食，以及从河里捕来的鱼和螃蟹）”可知， Swamini给游客提供生态旅游和食宿。故选A。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Hule only discovered recently that the weed was edible when she met tourists from another coastal city. She researched these leaves and learned that the salty plant is rich in vitamins. She made her own version of the fritters, with chickpea flour, and presented it at the wild vegetable festival.(Hule最近才发现这种杂草是可以食用的，当时她遇到了来自另一个沿海城市的游客。她研究了这些叶子，了解到这种咸味植物富含维生素。她用鹰嘴豆粉做了自己版本的炸果饼，并在野菜节上展出)”可知，Hule的炸果饼受欢迎是因为它们有当地的特色。故选C。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的““The satisfaction after the visitors enjoy our meal is the real currency. We had guests from London who were so happy with our food that they took down the recipe. Such people help our business grow. What more can we want?” says Hule.(Hule说：“游客们享用我们的饭菜后的满足感才是真正的货币。我们有来自伦敦的客人，他们对我们的食物非常满意，所以他们把食谱记了下来。这些人帮助我们的业务发展。我们还想要什么？”)”推知，Hule对游客想得到他们的食谱感到非常自豪。故选B。
C
Fruit farmers in Okayama, Japan, have managed to make peeling (剥皮) a banana optional by developing a special variety with eatable skin. The peel of their ‘‘Mongee bananas” isn’t tastier, but it’s much thinner and far less bitter than that of regular bananas, making it 100% eatable.
Scientists at D&T Farm in the country’s Okayama Prefecture released the social media-ready news following months of experimenting with a freezing-and-thawing (解冻) method, which keeps the banana tree at extremely cold temperatures followed by a dramatic heat increase. The result is soft and thin skin that hasn’t fully developed. They froze young banana trees to -60 degrees Celsius, planting them again as they began to thaw. This apparently activated an ancient part of their DNA, which not only allows the plant to grow in Japan’s cool climate, but also accelerates its development. While tropical varieties of bananas require two years to grow large enough for consumption, the Mongee banana needs just four months.
The first batch (一批) of Mongee bananas hit department store shelves in November of last year, but getting your hand on one of these incredible fruits remains a huge challenge. D&T Farm only produces 10 bananas per week, and they only deliver them to the Fruit Corner of Tenmanya Okayama, a local department store. But even if you happen to find one available, you’d probably be a bit put off by the price–648 yen ($5.70) per fruit.
Banana peel is an excellent ingredient that can contain vitamin B6 and magnesium related to the production of serotonin (血清素). At the same time, it’s rich in substances called “tryptophan” (色氨酸), a raw material of serotonin which stabilizes the mind and has a positive effect on sleep. Research results that ripe fruit peels have a good effect on treating certain discases have also been published.
John Guterman, a botanist, says, “And what about shipping? For most of the fruit’s history, the peel has provided protection, allowing it to travel long distances. A softer, more bruise-prone (容易擦伤的) banana would be a step back from hardy banana varieties that travel thousands of miles.” In this sense, the day we all stop peeling bananas and instead bite straight through their skin may still be a long way away.
28. Compared with regular bananas, Mongee bananas ________.
A. are far easier to peel
B. have much sweeter flesh
C. are much more thin-skinned
D. have a longer growth period
29. Why is it hard to buy a Mongee banana now?
A. It isn’t affordable at all.
B. It isn’t in mass production.
C. It is made for certain people.
D. It hasn’t come into the market.
30. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The varied flavors of banana peel.
B. How to make banana peel eatable.
C. How to make banana peel sweeter.
D. The medical value of banana peel.
31. What does John think of the Mongee banana?
A. It won’t be widely spread soon for some reasons.
B. It should not be widely grown because of climate.
C. It has advantage over regular bananas on transportation.
D. It proves fruits with skin will be produced on large scales.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了日本冈山的果农发明了一种果皮可以食用的香蕉。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The peel of their ‘‘Mongee bananas” isn’t tastier, but it’s much thinner(他们的Mongee香蕉皮并不好吃，但要薄得多)”可知，与普通香蕉相比，Mongee香蕉果皮薄得多，故选C项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“The first batch (一批) of Mongee bananas hit department store shelves in November of last year, but getting your hand on one of these incredible fruits remains a huge challenge. D&T Farm only produces 10 bananas per week, and they only deliver them to the Fruit Corner of Tenmanya Okayama, a local department store. (去年11月，第一批Mongee香蕉在百货公司上架，但要买到这些令人难以置信的水果仍然是一个巨大的挑战。D&T农场每周只生产10个香蕉，而且他们只把香蕉送到当地百货商店冈山天门屋的水果角。)”可知，Mongee香蕉难以买到的原因是还没有量产，故选B项。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段第一句“Banana peel is an excellent ingredient that can contain vitamin B6 and magnesium related to the production of serotonin(香蕉皮是一种很好的成分，它含有与血清素产生有关的维生素B6和镁)”以及最后一句“Research results that ripe fruit peels have a good effect on treating certain discases have also been published.(研究结果表明，成熟的果皮对治疗某些疾病有很好的效果)”可知，第四段主要讲的是香蕉皮的医用价值，故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“In this sense, the day we all stop peeling bananas and instead bite straight through their skin may still be a long way away.(从这个意义上说，我们都停止剥香蕉，而是直接咬香蕉皮的那一天可能还有很长的路要走)”可推理出，Mongee香蕉在近期因某种原因还不能广泛传播，故选A项。
D
Swot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth’s vital resource. By using advanced microwave radar technology, it will collect height-surface measurements of oceans, lakes and rivers in high-definition detail over 90% of the globe. It’s really the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet’s surface.
The major mission is to explore how oceans absorb atmospheric heal and CO2 in a natural process that adjusts climate change. Oceans are estimated to have absorbed more than 90% of the extra heat trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere by human-caused greenhouse gases. Swot will scan (查看) the seas and precisely measure fine differences in surface elevations (高度) around smaller currents and eddies (漩涡), where much of the oceans’ decrease of heat and carbon is believed to occur. “Studying the mechanism will help climate scientists answer a key question: What is the turning point at which oceans start releasing, rather than absorbing, huge amounts of heat back into the atmosphere and speed up global warming, rather than limiting it,” said Nadya Shiffer, Swot’s program scientist.
By comparison, earlier studies of water bodies relied on data of rivers or oceans taken at specific points, or from satellites that can only track measurements along a one-dimensional line, requiring scientists to fill in data gaps through extrapolation (外推法). Thanks to the radar instrument, Swot can scan through cloud cover and darkness over wide ranges of the Earth. This enables scientists to accurately map their observations in two dimensions regardless of weather or time of day and to cover large geographic areas far more quickly than was previously possible.
“Rather than giving us a line of elevations, it’s giving us a map of elevations, and that’s just a total game changer,” said Tamlin Pavelsky, Swot freshwater science leader.
32. What do the underlined words “vital resource” in the first paragraph refer to?
A. Technology. B. Climate. C. Oceans. D. Water.
33. What is the major mission of Swot satellite?
A. To explore where oceans absorb heat and CO2.
B. To explain why greenhouse gas comes into being.
C. To identify when global warming is worsened.
D. To study how oceans influence climate change.
34. What makes it possible for Swot to measure precisely?
A. The high-definition computer.
B. Advanced radar technology.
C. The three-dimensional image.
D. An accurate map of elevations.
35. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. First Global Water Survey from Space
B. Successful Launch of Swot Satellite
C. A Breakthrough in Space Travel
D. A Solution to Climate Change
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Swot卫星将对地球表面几乎所有的水进行观测时它的主要任务和先进之处。
32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线短语下文“By using advanced microwave radar technology it will collect height-surface measurements of oceans, lakes and rivers in high-definition detail over 90% of the globe. It’s really the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet’s surface.(通过使用先进的微波雷达技术，它将收集全球90% 以上的海洋、湖泊和河流的高清晰度表面测量数据。这真的是第一次观察到地球表面几乎所有的水)”和画线短语所在句子“Swot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth’s vital resource.(Swot卫星计划于周四上午发射，对地球的vital resource进行全面调查)”可知，Swot卫星通过使用先进的微波雷达技术，收集全球90%以上的海洋、湖泊和河流的高清晰度表面测量数据，然后对这些水资源进行调查，由此可推知，画线短语指的是下文提到的“water(水)”。故选D项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“The major mission is to explore how oceans absorb atmospheric heat and carbon dioxide in a natural process that adjusts climate change.(主要任务是探索海洋如何在调节气候变化的自然过程中吸收大气热量和二氧化碳)”可知，Swot卫星的主要任务是研究海洋在气候调节过程中的作用，换句话说就是要研究海洋是如何影响气候改变的。故选D项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Thanks to the radar instrument, Swot can scan through cloud cover and darkness over wide ranges of the Earth. This enables scientists to accurately map their observations in two dimensions regardless of weather or time of day and to cover large geographic areas far more quickly than was previously possible.(多亏了雷达仪器，Swot可以在地球的大范围内扫描云层和黑暗。这使得科学家能够精确地绘制二维地图，无论天气如何，无论何时，覆盖大面积地理区域的速度比以前快得多)”可知，先进的雷达技术使得Swot能够精确测量，故选B项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Swot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth’s vital resource. By using advanced microwave radar technology it will collect height-surface measurements of oceans, lakes and rivers in high-definition detail over 90% of the globe. It’s really the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet’s surface.(Swot卫星计划于周四上午发射，对地球的重要资源进行全面调查。通过使用先进的微波雷达技术，它将收集全球90% 以上的海洋、湖泊和河流的高清晰度表面测量数据。这真的是第一次观察到地球表面几乎所有的水)”可知，文章主要介绍了计划于周四上午发射的Swot卫星，通过使用先进的微波雷达技术，它将收集全球90%以上的海洋、湖泊和河流的高清晰度表面测量数据。这是第一次观察到地球表面几乎所有的水。由此可推知A项“第一次对全球的水进行调查”适合做文章标题，故选A项。

For making contact and communicating with a person, effective eye contact is essential to our everyday interaction with people, and also to those who want to be effective communicators in public places. ____36____.
Generally in Western societies and many other cultures, eye contact with a person is expected to be regular but not overly persistent. ____37____, causing the person who’s the object of a person’s stare to feel overly studied and uncomfortable.
____38____. The New Zealand Medical Journal reported that one reason so many young children fall victim to attacks by pet dogs is their overly-lasting eye contact with pets, which causes them to feel threatened and defensive.
Overly lasting eye contact is also a sign of a person’s over-awareness of the messages they are giving. In the case of people who try to lie to someone, they may distort (扭曲) their eye contact so that they’re not avoiding it. ____39____. But on the contrary, evasive (逃避的) eye contact is a sign of discomfort. Why do we avoid looking at a person? It may be because we feel ashamed to be looking at them if we’re being dishonest of trying to take them in. Evasive eye contact may also a sign of dishonesty.
However, Scotland’s University of Stirling found that, in a question-and-answer study among children, those who maintained eye contact were less likely to come up with the correct answer to a question than those who looked away to consider their response. ____40____, when this energy could be spent on deep thinking.

B. Constant eye contact is often considered to be rude
C. Eye contact is the act of looking into someone’s eyes

【36题详解】
根据上文“For making contact and communicating with a person, effective eye contact is essential to our everyday interaction with people, and also to those who want to be effective communicators in public places. (为了与人接触和交流，有效的眼神交流对于我们与人的日常互动至关重要，对于那些想在公共场所成为有效沟通者的人来说也是如此)”可知，上文介绍了眼神交流在生活中的重要性，D项“但是有一些你可能不知道的关于眼神交流的事”能够承接上文并引起下文，下文介绍的正是一些你可能不知道的关于眼神交流的事。故选D。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Generally in Western societies and many other cultures, eye contact with a person is expected to be regular but not overly persistent. (一般来说，在西方社会和许多其他文化中，与人的眼神接触应该是间隙均匀的，但不会过于持久)”可知，上文告诉我们，在西方社会和许多其他文化中，眼神接触不应该过于持久，B项“不断的眼神接触通常被认为是粗鲁的”能够承接上文，在西方社会和许多其他文化中，眼神接触不应该过于持久，因为不断的目光接触通常被认为是粗鲁的。故选B。
【38题详解】

(《新西兰医学杂志》报道说，许多儿童成为宠物狗攻击的受害者的一个原因是他们与宠物长时间的眼神接触，这使宠物狗感到受到威胁，开始防御)”可知，下文告诉我们儿童与宠物长时间的眼神接触使宠物狗感到受到威胁，并攻击儿童，F项“即使在人类和非人类之间，持续的目光接触有时也是不可取的”能够引起下文，下文正是人类和非人类之间，持续的目光接触所带来的危害。故选F。
【39题详解】
根据上文“In the case of people who try to lie to someone, they may distort (扭曲) their eye contact so that they’re not avoiding it. (如果有人试图对某人撒谎，他们可能会扭曲他们的眼神接触，以便他们不会避免眼神接触)”可知，上文告诉我们有人试图撒谎时，会通过扭曲他们的眼神接触来掩饰心虚，A项“这是一个被广泛认可的说谎标志”是对上文内容的总结，扭曲眼神接触是一个被广泛认可的说谎标志。故选A。
【40题详解】
根据下文“when this energy could be spent on deep thinking. (当这些精力可以用于深入思考时)”可知，文章结尾进行总结，告诉我们眼神交流需要进行练习，进行深入思考，G项“眼神交流作为一种社交手段，需要付出惊人的努力才能保持”能够引起下文，眼神交流作为一种社交手段，需要付出惊人的努力才能保持，我们需要花费精力用于深入思考。故选G。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了靖西太平鼓。
【56题详解】
考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意：它展现了深厚的文化元素，于2006年被列入中国第一批国家级非物质文化遗产名录。分析句子可知，include(把……列为一部分)是句中谓语动词，与主语it之间是被动关系，结合时间状语in 2006可知，讲述过去的事情，应使用一般过去时态，又因主语是第三人称单数代词，所以谓语动词也应使用单数形式。综上，谓语应用一般过去时的被动语态，单数形式。故填was included。
【57题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：这种艺术最早的历史记载可以追溯到春秋时期。句中表示“最早的历史记载”，结合空格前定冠词the可知，应用形容词最高级形式earliest作定语，修饰名词historical references。故填earliest。
【58题详解】
考查名词。句意：清初，它开始在京城内外流行，后来传入北京门头沟区。分析句子可知，提示词作宾语，应用名词形式popularity，意为“流行，普及”，抽象名词不可数。故填popularity。
【59题详解】
考查介词。句意：在古代，人们在除夕之夜在皇宫里敲鼓，以带来和平。New Year’s Eve是“除夕”，是在具体的某一天前用介词on。故填on。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这种类型的鼓舞通常在农历年的最后一个月和第一个月在许多地方节日活动中表演，从而表达人们对一个和平、繁荣的年份的期盼。分析句子可知，“(perform) during the last and first month of the lunar year in many local festive activities”作主语补足语，perform是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语This type of drum dance之间是被动关系，用过去分词表被动。故填performed。
【61题详解】
考查冠词。句意：这种类型的鼓舞通常在农历年的最后一个月和第一个月在许多地方节日活动中表演，从而表达人们对一个和平、繁荣的年份的期盼。可数名词year在句中表示“一个年份”，泛指，空格后单词peaceful发音以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【62题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。句意：在一场表演中，鼓手们左手拿鼓，右手拿木槌，表演各种舞蹈动作。在when, while, if, as if, though (或although), as, until, once, whether, unless, where等连词连接的状语从句中，常省略跟主句相同的主语和be动词。结合句意，分析子可知，“while (hold) the drum in their left hands and a mallet in their right hands.”是时间状语从句，原句为“while they are holding the drum in their left hands and a mallet in their right hands.”，符合状语从句省略条件，省略they are后，应保留现在分词holding。故填holding。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：鼓乐体现了中国传统的审美观念，具有鲜明的地方特色。分析句子可知，空格处为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the drum playing，关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作介词of的宾语，应使用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。
【64题详解】
考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意：在过去的几十年里，门头沟区一直在努力保护这一标志性的民间舞蹈文化。分析句子可知，make是句中谓语动词，与主语efforts之间是被动关系，结合时间状语In the past decades可知，应使用现在完成时态，又因主语是复数名词，所以谓语动词也应使用复数形式。综上，谓语应用现在完成时的被动语态，复数形式。故填have been made。
【65题详解】
考查连词。句意：今天，靖西太平鼓这一历史悠久的民间艺术正在被年轻人所接受，并在世界舞台上展示着其生动的艺术魅力。结合句意分析句子，“is being taken up...”和“is presenting ...”是并列谓语动词，用连词and连接。故填and。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Having worked at a small food store for two years, I thought I had become successful at what our manager called “customer relations”. I firmly believed that a friendly smile and an automatic “sir”, “madam”, “thank you” and “sorry” would see me through any situation. But on a Christmas night an old woman shook my belief that such a glib (油嘴滑舌的) response could smooth over any difficulty while dealing with other human beings.
The moment she entered the store, the woman presented a sharp contrast to our shiny store with its bright lighting and neatly arranged shelves. Walking as if each step were painful, she slowly pushed open the glass door. On such a zero-degree night, she was wearing only a faded print dress, a thin sweater too small to button, and black slippers with the backs cut out to expose heels. There were no stockings or socks on her blue-veined (青筋的) legs.
After walking around the store for several minutes, the old woman stopped in front of the rows of canned vegetables. She looked at the row of cans, finally picked up a can of corn and stared at the label. At that point, I decided to be a good and polite employee and asked her if she needed help. As I stood close to her, my smile became harder to maintain. An unpleasant smell of sweat rose from her torn clothing.
“I need some food,” she muttered in reply to my bright “Madam, can I help you?”
“Are you looking for corn, madam?”
“I need some food,” she repeated, looking down at the can in her hand, “Any kind.”
“Well, the can of corn is ninety-five cents, madam.” I said in my most helpful voice. “Or if you like, we have a special on bread today.”
After a short pause, she lifted her head and said, “But I can’t pay.”
For a second, it was on the tip of my tongue to tell her that she could take the corn. Then the employee rules flooded into my mind: remain polite but do not let the customers take advantage of you.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
At the thought of that, I managed a friendly smile.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Instantly I rushed out of the door with the can of corn and stopped the old woman.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
At the thought of that, I managed a friendly smile. Then I nearly automatically said, “I’m sorry, madam, but I can’t give away anything for free.” Hearing this, the old woman nodded her head, her face darkened and eyelids dropped. Unwillingly, she put the can back on the shelf, walked shyly past me toward the door and out she went. It was at that moment that I felt regretful inside me. How I wished I hadn’t said those words!
Paragraph 2:
Instantly I rushed out of the door with the can of corn and stopped the old woman. “Madam, Merry Christmas!” said I, putting softly the can of corn into her hand. For a second, I could feel that her hand trembled. Without waiting for her reply, I just waved her goodbye and returned inside the store. For the rest of my work, the image of the woman constantly reminded me that while dealing with customers, it was sincere concern rather than a glib response that could smooth over any difficulty.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一家小食品店工作了两年之后，在一个圣诞夜，一位老妇人走进店里想要一罐玉米，但是却买不起，作者尽量保持礼貌，此事动摇了作者的信念，让作者不相信这种油嘴滑舌的回应可以解决与他人打交道时的任何困难。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“想到这里，我勉强露出了友好的微笑。”可知，第一段描写作者按照员工守则，拒绝提供免费的食物，老妇人失望地离开了，而作者感到了后悔。
②由第二段首句内容“我立刻拿着玉米罐头冲出门外，拦住了老妇人。”可知，第二段可描写作者给老妇人送去玉米罐头，她很感激，而作者也感悟了在与他人打交道时，应是真诚的关心，而不是能化解任何困难的油嘴滑舌的回应。
2.续写线索：拒绝老妇人——后悔——追上老妇人——老妇人感激——获得感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①变黑：darken/blacken
②放：put/place
③颤抖：tremble/quiver

The first event is called The World of Ants, and it’s happening this morning quite soon in the Insect House. Dr. David Crocker is giving a lecture all about ants—the different types of ants, how they organize themselves, what they eat, their behavior and so on. It’s from 11 o’clock to 12 o’clock. At midday, that’s 12 o’clock, there’s a film which is just as fascinating, called The Great Migration. This is all about birds and how they move across continents and oceans. As I said, it’s a film which all the family will enjoy, and it’s on in Theater C, which you can see here just behind me, just a little farther down the hall past Theater A and Theater B—so bear that in mind for 12 o’ clock. It will last 45 minutes. The next event is called Encouraging Garden Wildlife and will take place in the Exhibition Room with Monica Chaddha. Monica will be showing you ways of encouraging animals, birds, and other wildlife to visit and live in your garden, how to place boxes for nests, what food to put out for them and all sorts of practical advice. That’s at 2:30, so just after lunch, and will last half an hour.

Weald & Downland Living Museum
Fun fact
Over 50 historic buildings from across the Weald and Downland area have been dismantled (拆除) and then reconstructed across a lovely 40-acre site in the South Downs national park. The collection of buildings represents almost a thousand years of rural life in south-east England: furnished just as they would have been in the past — complete with the homes, farms and public buildings. There’s a sense of exploring a real village as you wander between them along green paths, stopping to climb the stairs of a 17th-century craftsman’s (工匠) cottage to lie on the straw bed or sheltering from a shower in a smoky, 14th-century hall.
Getting there
The Stagecoach 60 bus service from Chichester to Midhurst stops just five minutes away at Grooms Yard, Singleton. The nearest railway stations are Chichester (2 miles) and Haslemere (7 miles). The museum is on Town Lane in Singleton, reached via the A286 from Chichester to Midhurst. Parking is free and there are disabled parking spaces opposite the museum shop.
Value for money?
Yes. It’s not cheap but it’s a special experience that easily fills a day. Plus, it’s a valuable cause worth supporting. Adults ￡14, children 5-17 and students ￡6.50, under-4s free, family ￡38 (two adults and two children) or ￡25 (one adult and three children).
Opening hours
Daily 10am-5pm (last entry 4pm).
21. What can visitors do in Weald & Downland Living Museum?
A. Take a shower in the hall.
B Stay overnight at a cottage.
C. Learn construction techniques.

There’s a sense of exploring a real village as you wander between them along green paths, stopping to climb the stairs of a 17th-century craftsman’s (工匠) cottage to lie on the straw bed or sheltering from a shower in a smoky, 14th-century hall.(这组建筑代表了英格兰东南部近千年的乡村生活：家具和过去一样，包括住宅、农场和公共建筑。当你沿着绿色小径漫步在这些村庄之间，停下来爬上17世纪工匠小屋的楼梯，躺在稻草床上，或者在烟雾缭绕的14世纪大厅里躲雨时，你会有一种探索真实村庄的感觉)”可知，游客在Weald & Downland生活博物馆可以探索几个世纪前的乡村生活。故选D项。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据Value for money?部分中“family ￡38 (two adults and two children) or ￡25 (one adult and three children). (家庭38英镑(两名成人和两名儿童)或25英镑(一名成人和三名儿童))”可知，一对夫妇和他们两个5岁的双胞胎儿子的门票是38英镑。故选C项。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据Getting there部分中“Parking is free and there are disabled parking spaces opposite the museum shop.(停车场是免费的，博物馆商店对面有残疾人停车位)”可知，Weald & Downland生活博物馆有专门的残疾人停车位，为残障人士提供了体贴的服务。故选D项。
B
On a hot summer afternoon along the Mandavi River, Shweta Hule wraps her sari around her ankles and bends to pick wild “weeds” from the river and drop them into a bowl. The plants will be made into fritters (炸果饼), to be served at the little restaurant attached to the B&B Hule manages in the Indian coastal town of Vengurla.
Wild edible (可食用的) plants are common in kitchens here. Hule’s weed is juicy, which is found in mangrove forests. Harvesting some of the plant is helping conserve the mangroves, a globally endangered ecosystem of salt-tolerant trees that stop coastal erosion (侵蚀) and absorb storm damage.
Hule is head of Swamini, a self-help group set up by nine women from a fishing community in Vengurla who started Mandavi Eco Tourism in 2017. Vengurla is known for its beautiful beaches and seafood, but the climate crisis has made fishing for a living unsustainable, so people are trying to find other sources of income. They came up with the idea of running mangrove safaris (观光游) for tourists in Vengurla’s Mandavi River.
The safaris offer visitors a unique hour-long tour of the mangroves. Food has also become a key attraction: local spicy coconut curries, with homegrown or wild vegetables. Tourists are encouraged to go crabbing, and their catch is cooked and served.
Hule only discovered recently that the weed was edible when she met tourists from another coastal city. She researched these leaves and learned that the salty plant is rich in vitamins. She made her own version of the fritters, with chickpea flour, and presented it at the wild vegetable festival. “It was an instant hit. This boosted the confidence to include these fritters in our restaurant menu,” says Hule.
Swamini’s lodging house also serves vegetarian meals and plates of fish and crab sourced from the river. “The satisfaction after the visitors enjoy our meal is the real currency. We had guests from London who were so happy with our food that they took down the recipe. Such people help our business grow. What more can we want?” says Hule.
24. Which of the following can best describe the example of Shweta Hule?
A. Do as the Romans do.
B. Strike while the iron is hot.
C. Kill two birds with one stone.
D. Bite off more than you can chew.
25. What does Swamini offer to visitors?
A. Eco-tours and accommodation.
B. Fishing guide service.
C. Vegetable growing techniques.
D. Hands-on cooking classes.
26. Why were Hule’s fritters well-received?
A. They were less expensive.
B. They were traditional.
C. They had their own features.
D. They got strongly promoted.
27. How did Hule feel about tourists’ obtaining her food recipe?
A. Lost. B. Proud. C. Worried. D. Curious.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. C 27. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Shweta Hule和几位妇女创办Swamini为游客提供生态旅游和有当地特色的食宿的故事。他们的举动不仅帮助当地人增加了收入，还在一定程度上保护了红树林。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“bends to pick wild “weeds” from the river and drop them into a bowl. The plants will be made into fritters (炸果饼), to be served at the little restaurant attached to the B&B Hule manages in the Indian coastal town of Vengurla.(弯腰从河里拣起野生的“杂草”，扔进一个碗里。这些植物将被制成炸果饼，供应给在胡勒在印度沿海城镇文古拉经营的民旅馆附属小餐馆)”和第二段“Wild edible (可食用的) plants are common in kitchens here. Hule’s weed is juicy, which is found in mangrove forests. Harvesting some of the plant is helping conserve the mangroves, a globally endangered ecosystem of salt-tolerant trees that stop coastal erosion (侵蚀) and absorb storm damage.(野生可食用植物在这里的厨房里很常见。Hule的杂草多汁，这种草生长在红树林中。收割一些这种植物有助于保护红树林，这是一种全球濒危的耐盐树木生态系统，可以阻止海岸侵蚀并吸收风暴破坏)”可知，这些杂草可以被制成食物，而且除掉它们有助于保护红树林，由此推知，Shweta Hule的例子可以说是一举两得。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“Hule is head of Swamini, a self-help group set up by nine women from a fishing community in Vengurla who started Mandavi Eco Tourism in 2017.(Hule是Swamini的负责人，这是一个自助组织，由文古拉一个渔业社区的九名妇女成立，她们于2017年创办了Mandavi生态旅游)”和第四段“The safaris offer visitors a unique hour-long tour of the mangroves. Food has also become a key attraction: local spicy coconut curries, with homegrown or wild vegetables. Tourists are encouraged to go crabbing, and their catch is cooked and served.(野生动物园为游客提供了一个独特的长达一小时的红树林之旅。食物也成为了一个关键的吸引力：当地的辛辣椰子咖喱，配以本土或野生蔬菜。游客们被鼓励去捕螃蟹，他们捕获的东西被煮熟后端上桌)”以及最后一段第一句“Swamini’s lodging house also serves vegetarian meals and plates of fish and crab sourced from the river.（斯瓦米尼的旅馆还供应素食，以及从河里捕来的鱼和螃蟹）”可知， Swamini给游客提供生态旅游和食宿。故选A。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Hule only discovered recently that the weed was edible when she met tourists from another coastal city. She researched these leaves and learned that the salty plant is rich in vitamins. She made her own version of the fritters, with chickpea flour, and presented it at the wild vegetable festival.(Hule最近才发现这种杂草是可以食用的，当时她遇到了来自另一个沿海城市的游客。她研究了这些叶子，了解到这种咸味植物富含维生素。她用鹰嘴豆粉做了自己版本的炸果饼，并在野菜节上展出)”可知，Hule的炸果饼受欢迎是因为它们有当地的特色。故选C。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的““The satisfaction after the visitors enjoy our meal is the real currency. We had guests from London who were so happy with our food that they took down the recipe. Such people help our business grow. What more can we want?” says Hule.(Hule说：“游客们享用我们的饭菜后的满足感才是真正的货币。我们有来自伦敦的客人，他们对我们的食物非常满意，所以他们把食谱记了下来。这些人帮助我们的业务发展。我们还想要什么？”)”推知，Hule对游客想得到他们的食谱感到非常自豪。故选B。
C
Fruit farmers in Okayama, Japan, have managed to make peeling (剥皮) a banana optional by developing a special variety with eatable skin. The peel of their ‘‘Mongee bananas” isn’t tastier, but it’s much thinner and far less bitter than that of regular bananas, making it 100% eatable.
Scientists at D&T Farm in the country’s Okayama Prefecture released the social media-ready news following months of experimenting with a freezing-and-thawing (解冻) method, which keeps the banana tree at extremely cold temperatures followed by a dramatic heat increase. The result is soft and thin skin that hasn’t fully developed. They froze young banana trees to -60 degrees Celsius, planting them again as they began to thaw. This apparently activated an ancient part of their DNA, which not only allows the plant to grow in Japan’s cool climate, but also accelerates its development. While tropical varieties of bananas require two years to grow large enough for consumption, the Mongee banana needs just four months.
The first batch (一批) of Mongee bananas hit department store shelves in November of last year, but getting your hand on one of these incredible fruits remains a huge challenge. D&T Farm only produces 10 bananas per week, and they only deliver them to the Fruit Corner of Tenmanya Okayama, a local department store. But even if you happen to find one available, you’d probably be a bit put off by the price–648 yen ($5.70) per fruit.
Banana peel is an excellent ingredient that can contain vitamin B6 and magnesium related to the production of serotonin (血清素). At the same time, it’s rich in substances called “tryptophan” (色氨酸), a raw material of serotonin which stabilizes the mind and has a positive effect on sleep. Research results that ripe fruit peels have a good effect on treating certain discases have also been published.
John Guterman, a botanist, says, “And what about shipping? For most of the fruit’s history, the peel has provided protection, allowing it to travel long distances. A softer, more bruise-prone (容易擦伤的) banana would be a step back from hardy banana varieties that travel thousands of miles.” In this sense, the day we all stop peeling bananas and instead bite straight through their skin may still be a long way away.
28. Compared with regular bananas, Mongee bananas ________.
A. are far easier to peel
B. have much sweeter flesh
C. are much more thin-skinned
D. have a longer growth period
29. Why is it hard to buy a Mongee banana now?
A. It isn’t affordable at all.
B. It isn’t in mass production.
C. It is made for certain people.
D. It hasn’t come into the market.
30. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The varied flavors of banana peel.
B. How to make banana peel eatable.
C. How to make banana peel sweeter.
D. The medical value of banana peel.
31. What does John think of the Mongee banana?
A. It won’t be widely spread soon for some reasons.
B. It should not be widely grown because of climate.
C. It has advantage over regular bananas on transportation.
D. It proves fruits with skin will be produced on large scales.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了日本冈山的果农发明了一种果皮可以食用的香蕉。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The peel of their ‘‘Mongee bananas” isn’t tastier, but it’s much thinner(他们的Mongee香蕉皮并不好吃，但要薄得多)”可知，与普通香蕉相比，Mongee香蕉果皮薄得多，故选C项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“The first batch (一批) of Mongee bananas hit department store shelves in November of last year, but getting your hand on one of these incredible fruits remains a huge challenge. D&T Farm only produces 10 bananas per week, and they only deliver them to the Fruit Corner of Tenmanya Okayama, a local department store. (去年11月，第一批Mongee香蕉在百货公司上架，但要买到这些令人难以置信的水果仍然是一个巨大的挑战。D&T农场每周只生产10个香蕉，而且他们只把香蕉送到当地百货商店冈山天门屋的水果角。)”可知，Mongee香蕉难以买到的原因是还没有量产，故选B项。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段第一句“Banana peel is an excellent ingredient that can contain vitamin B6 and magnesium related to the production of serotonin(香蕉皮是一种很好的成分，它含有与血清素产生有关的维生素B6和镁)”以及最后一句“Research results that ripe fruit peels have a good effect on treating certain discases have also been published.(研究结果表明，成熟的果皮对治疗某些疾病有很好的效果)”可知，第四段主要讲的是香蕉皮的医用价值，故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“In this sense, the day we all stop peeling bananas and instead bite straight through their skin may still be a long way away.(从这个意义上说，我们都停止剥香蕉，而是直接咬香蕉皮的那一天可能还有很长的路要走)”可推理出，Mongee香蕉在近期因某种原因还不能广泛传播，故选A项。
D
Swot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth’s vital resource. By using advanced microwave radar technology, it will collect height-surface measurements of oceans, lakes and rivers in high-definition detail over 90% of the globe. It’s really the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet’s surface.
The major mission is to explore how oceans absorb atmospheric heal and CO2 in a natural process that adjusts climate change. Oceans are estimated to have absorbed more than 90% of the extra heat trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere by human-caused greenhouse gases. Swot will scan (查看) the seas and precisely measure fine differences in surface elevations (高度) around smaller currents and eddies (漩涡), where much of the oceans’ decrease of heat and carbon is believed to occur. “Studying the mechanism will help climate scientists answer a key question: What is the turning point at which oceans start releasing, rather than absorbing, huge amounts of heat back into the atmosphere and speed up global warming, rather than limiting it,” said Nadya Shiffer, Swot’s program scientist.
By comparison, earlier studies of water bodies relied on data of rivers or oceans taken at specific points, or from satellites that can only track measurements along a one-dimensional line, requiring scientists to fill in data gaps through extrapolation (外推法). Thanks to the radar instrument, Swot can scan through cloud cover and darkness over wide ranges of the Earth. This enables scientists to accurately map their observations in two dimensions regardless of weather or time of day and to cover large geographic areas far more quickly than was previously possible.
“Rather than giving us a line of elevations, it’s giving us a map of elevations, and that’s just a total game changer,” said Tamlin Pavelsky, Swot freshwater science leader.
32. What do the underlined words “vital resource” in the first paragraph refer to?
A. Technology. B. Climate. C. Oceans. D. Water.
33. What is the major mission of Swot satellite?
A. To explore where oceans absorb heat and CO2.
B. To explain why greenhouse gas comes into being.
C. To identify when global warming is worsened.
D. To study how oceans influence climate change.
34. What makes it possible for Swot to measure precisely?
A. The high-definition computer.
B. Advanced radar technology.
C. The three-dimensional image.
D. An accurate map of elevations.
35. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. First Global Water Survey from Space
B. Successful Launch of Swot Satellite
C. A Breakthrough in Space Travel
D. A Solution to Climate Change
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. B 35. A
【解析】

32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线短语下文“By using advanced microwave radar technology it will collect height-surface measurements of oceans, lakes and rivers in high-definition detail over 90% of the globe. It’s really the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet’s surface.(通过使用先进的微波雷达技术，它将收集全球90% 以上的海洋、湖泊和河流的高清晰度表面测量数据。这真的是第一次观察到地球表面几乎所有的水)”和画线短语所在句子“Swot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth’s vital resource.(Swot卫星计划于周四上午发射，对地球的vital resource进行全面调查)”可知，Swot卫星通过使用先进的微波雷达技术，收集全球90%以上的海洋、湖泊和河流的高清晰度表面测量数据，然后对这些水资源进行调查，由此可推知，画线短语指的是下文提到的“water(水)”。故选D项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“The major mission is to explore how oceans absorb atmospheric heat and carbon dioxide in a natural process that adjusts climate change.(主要任务是探索海洋如何在调节气候变化的自然过程中吸收大气热量和二氧化碳)”可知，Swot卫星的主要任务是研究海洋在气候调节过程中的作用，换句话说就是要研究海洋是如何影响气候改变的。故选D项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Thanks to the radar instrument, Swot can scan through cloud cover and darkness over wide ranges of the Earth. This enables scientists to accurately map their observations in two dimensions regardless of weather or time of day and to cover large geographic areas far more quickly than was previously possible.(多亏了雷达仪器，Swot可以在地球的大范围内扫描云层和黑暗。这使得科学家能够精确地绘制二维地图，无论天气如何，无论何时，覆盖大面积地理区域的速度比以前快得多)”可知，先进的雷达技术使得Swot能够精确测量，故选B项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Swot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth’s vital resource. By using advanced microwave radar technology it will collect height-surface measurements of oceans, lakes and rivers in high-definition detail over 90% of the globe.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
For making contact and communicating with a person, effective eye contact is essential to our everyday interaction with people, and also to those who want to be effective communicators in public places. ____36____.
Generally in Western societies and many other cultures, eye contact with a person is expected to be regular but not overly persistent. ____37____, causing the person who’s the object of a person’s stare to feel overly studied and uncomfortable.
____38____. The New Zealand Medical Journal reported that one reason so many young children fall victim to attacks by pet dogs is their overly-lasting eye contact with pets, which causes them to feel threatened and defensive.
Overly lasting eye contact is also a sign of a person’s over-awareness of the messages they are giving.

【40题详解】
根据下文“when this energy could be spent on deep thinking. (当这些精力可以用于深入思考时)”可知，文章结尾进行总结，告诉我们眼神交流需要进行练习，进行深入思考，G项“眼神交流作为一种社交手段，需要付出惊人的努力才能保持”能够引起下文，眼神交流作为一种社交手段，需要付出惊人的努力才能保持，我们需要花费精力用于深入思考。故选G。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了靖西太平鼓。
【56题详解】
考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意：它展现了深厚的文化元素，于2006年被列入中国第一批国家级非物质文化遗产名录。分析句子可知，include(把……列为一部分)是句中谓语动词，与主语it之间是被动关系，结合时间状语in 2006可知，讲述过去的事情，应使用一般过去时态，又因主语是第三人称单数代词，所以谓语动词也应使用单数形式。综上，谓语应用一般过去时的被动语态，单数形式。故填was included。
【57题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：这种艺术最早的历史记载可以追溯到春秋时期。句中表示“最早的历史记载”，结合空格前定冠词the可知，应用形容词最高级形式earliest作定语，修饰名词historical references。故填earliest。
【58题详解】
考查名词。句意：清初，它开始在京城内外流行，后来传入北京门头沟区。分析句子可知，提示词作宾语，应用名词形式popularity，意为“流行，普及”，抽象名词不可数。故填popularity。
【59题详解】
考查介词。句意：在古代，人们在除夕之夜在皇宫里敲鼓，以带来和平。New Year’s Eve是“除夕”，是在具体的某一天前用介词on。故填on。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这种类型的鼓舞通常在农历年的最后一个月和第一个月在许多地方节日活动中表演，从而表达人们对一个和平、繁荣的年份的期盼。分析句子可知，“(perform) during the last and first month of the lunar year in many local festive activities”作主语补足语，perform是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语This type of drum dance之间是被动关系，用过去分词表被动。故填performed。
【61题详解】
考查冠词。句意：这种类型的鼓舞通常在农历年的最后一个月和第一个月在许多地方节日活动中表演，从而表达人们对一个和平、繁荣的年份的期盼。可数名词year在句中表示“一个年份”，泛指，空格后单词peaceful发音以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【62题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。句意：在一场表演中，鼓手们左手拿鼓，右手拿木槌，表演各种舞蹈动作。在when, while, if, as if, though (或although), as, until, once, whether, unless, where等连词连接的状语从句中，常省略跟主句相同的主语和be动词。结合句意，分析子可知，“while (hold) the drum in their left hands and a mallet in their right hands.”是时间状语从句，原句为“while they are holding the drum in their left hands and a mallet in their right hands.”，符合状语从句省略条件，省略they are后，应保留现在分词holding。故填holding。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：鼓乐体现了中国传统的审美观念，具有鲜明的地方特色。分析句子可知，空格处为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the drum playing，关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作介词of的宾语，应使用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。
【64题详解】
考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意：在过去的几十年里，门头沟区一直在努力保护这一标志性的民间舞蹈文化。分析句子可知，make是句中谓语动词，与主语efforts之间是被动关系，结合时间状语In the past decades可知，应使用现在完成时态，又因主语是复数名词，所以谓语动词也应使用复数形式。综上，谓语应用现在完成时的被动语态，复数形式。故填have been made。
【65题详解】
考查连词。句意：今天，靖西太平鼓这一历史悠久的民间艺术正在被年轻人所接受，并在世界舞台上展示着其生动的艺术魅力。结合句意分析句子，“is being taken up...”和“is presenting ...”是并列谓语动词，用连词and连接。故填and。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Having worked at a small food store for two years, I thought I had become successful at what our manager called “customer relations”. I firmly believed that a friendly smile and an automatic “sir”, “madam”, “thank you” and “sorry” would see me through any situation. But on a Christmas night an old woman shook my belief that such a glib (油嘴滑舌的) response could smooth over any difficulty while dealing with other human beings.
The moment she entered the store, the woman presented a sharp contrast to our shiny store with its bright lighting and neatly arranged shelves. Walking as if each step were painful, she slowly pushed open the glass door. On such a zero-degree night, she was wearing only a faded print dress, a thin sweater too small to button, and black slippers with the backs cut out to expose heels. There were no stockings or socks on her blue-veined (青筋的) legs.
After walking around the store for several minutes, the old woman stopped in front of the rows of canned vegetables. She looked at the row of cans, finally picked up a can of corn and stared at the label. At that point, I decided to be a good and polite employee and asked her if she needed help. As I stood close to her, my smile became harder to maintain. An unpleasant smell of sweat rose from her torn clothing.
“I need some food,” she muttered in reply to my bright “Madam, can I help you?”
“Are you looking for corn, madam?”
“I need some food,” she repeated, looking down at the can in her hand, “Any kind.”
“Well, the can of corn is ninety-five cents, madam.” I said in my most helpful voice. “Or if you like, we have a special on bread today.”
After a short pause, she lifted her head and said, “But I can’t pay.”
For a second, it was on the tip of my tongue to tell her that she could take the corn. Then the employee rules flooded into my mind: remain polite but do not let the customers take advantage of you.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
At the thought of that, I managed a friendly smile.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Instantly I rushed out of the door with the can of corn and stopped the old woman.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
At the thought of that, I managed a friendly smile. Then I nearly automatically said, “I’m sorry, madam, but I can’t give away anything for free.” Hearing this, the old woman nodded her head, her face darkened and eyelids dropped. Unwillingly, she put the can back on the shelf, walked shyly past me toward the door and out she went. It was at that moment that I felt regretful inside me. How I wished I hadn’t said those words!
Paragraph 2:
Instantly I rushed out of the door with the can of corn and stopped the old woman. “Madam, Merry Christmas!” said I, putting softly the can of corn into her hand. For a second, I could feel that her hand trembled. Without waiting for her reply, I just waved her goodbye and returned inside the store. For the rest of my work, the image of the woman constantly reminded me that while dealing with customers, it was sincere concern rather than a glib response that could smooth over any difficulty.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一家小食品店工作了两年之后，在一个圣诞夜，一位老妇人走进店里想要一罐玉米，但是却买不起，作者尽量保持礼貌，此事动摇了作者的信念，让作者不相信这种油嘴滑舌的回应可以解决与他人打交道时的任何困难。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“想到这里，我勉强露出了友好的微笑。”可知，第一段描写作者按照员工守则，拒绝提供免费的食物，老妇人失望地离开了，而作者感到了后悔。
②由第二段首句内容“我立刻拿着玉米罐头冲出门外，拦住了老妇人。”可知，第二段可描写作者给老妇人送去玉米罐头，她很感激，而作者也感悟了在与他人打交道时，应是真诚的关心，而不是能化解任何困难的油嘴滑舌的回应。
2.续写线索：拒绝老妇人——后悔——追上老妇人——老妇人感激——获得感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①变黑：darken/blacken
②放：put/place
③颤抖：tremble/quiver
情绪类
①不情愿地：unwillingly/reluctantly
②后悔：regretful/repentant
【点睛】[高分句型1] It was at that moment that I felt regretful inside me.(运用了强调句型)
[高分句型2] For the rest of my work, the image of the woman constantly reminded me that while dealing with customers, it was sincere concern rather than a glib response that could smooth over any difficulty.(由that引导的宾语从句和强调句型)
