With the development of apps,social media has seemingly revolutionized the way we travel.Now,young people’s primary travel inspiration comes from social media.Instead of choosing their destination from a selection in a catalogue at travel agent like before,they scroll (滚动) through online posts in search of that ideal location.
When it comes to planning the perfect holiday,social media has become a huge factor for many young people today.Everybody wants to return home with an album full of artistic and eye catching photos that show off their trips.The best way to find that desired“post able” holiday destination is now through social media itself.Whether it is viewing a friend’s recent travel post,or a photo directly from a travel account,social media inspires the desire to explore new places for so many of its users.
Travel companies now also use social media as part of their own marketing strategies.The majority of airlines,tour companies,hotels and other travel related businesses have their own Weibo,Xiaohongshu and Douyin pages to increase brand awareness.One of the leading marketing strategies is the use of the social influences.Research shows that 70% of teens trust influences more than traditional celebrities—in 2018,1.6 billion were funnelled into sponsored influenced posts on an app alone;and 63% of its 18—24 year old users follow travel influenced account.
However,as with many aspects of social media,there were obvious disadvantages to this travel revolution.It could be argued that the obsession with documenting and sharing your travel adventures online distracts from being present and truly enjoying the experience.Our motives to travel seem to have shifted away from a strong desire to travel and have become more egocentric (自我为中心的),travelling now for the sake of likes and follows.This draws away from some of the most important elements of travel.
In general,social media has revolutionized the way we travel,providing tonnes of inspiration and new opportunities.We should be grateful for the global awareness it has given us,and the insight into new places and different means of travel.At the same time,it is equally important not to allow the posts we see to affect our self image or reflect on our own experiences any differently.
4.How did people get their primary travel inspiration in the past
By appreciating photos from a travel account.
By viewing friends’ recent travel post.
By consulting a travel agent.
By scrolling through online posts.
5.Which of the following is right according to the text
Using Internet celebrities is a very effective marketing strategy.
Most teenagers trust traditional celebrities more than social influences.
The obsession with sharing travel experiences helps to enhance the travel experience.
The travel inspiration of young people mainly comes from the tourism advertisements.
6.What is the author’s attitude to the travel revolution
Skeptical. Objective. Worried. Disapproving.
7.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
Ways to enhance the travel experiences. Elements of modern travel.
Inspiration and opportunities from social media. The impact of social media on travel.

The news is everywhere.We can’t stop constantly checking it on our computer screens,but what is this doing to our minds
The news is committed to laying before us whatever is supposed to be most unusual and important in the world:a snowfall in the tropics;a love child of the president;a set of conjoined (连体的) twins.
The news knows how to operate its own mechanics almost invisible and therefore hard to question.It speaks to us in a natural unaccented voice,without reference to its own perspective.It fails to disclose that it does not merely report on the world,but is instead constantly at work crafting a new planet in our minds in line with its own often highly distinctive priorities.
Why do we,the audience,keep checking the news Fear has a lot to do with it.After even a short period of being cut off from news,our anxiety has a habit of building up.We know how much is likely to go wrong and how fast:an A380 may have its fuel line cracked and crash into the bay in flames,a virus from an African bat may leap the species barrier and enter a crowded Japanese commuter train,and investors may pose a run on the currency.
The hum and rush of the news have flowed into our deepest selves.What an achievement a moment of calm now is,what a miracle the ability to fall asleep or to talk undistracted with a friend is and what demanding discipline would be required to make us turn away from the messy news and listen for a day to nothing but the rain and our own thoughts.We may need some help with what the news is doing to us:with the envy and the terror,with the excitement and the frustration;with all that we’ve been told and yet occasionally suspect we may be better off never having learned.
8.What does news offer us according to the passage
Its operating system. Its preferred world.
Normal happenings worldwide. Objective points of view.
9.People keep checking news because they are 　　　
worried about losing contact with updates. anxious about building up a habit.
curious about an African virus in Japan. interested in strangers’ extraordinary lives.
10.Which of the following statements will the writer approve of
Talking with a friend is remarkable. Listening to natural songs is absolutely impossible.
Preventing envy and terror is realistic. Staying clear of the media is beneficial.
11.What’s the main idea of the passage
News is transforming our lifestyle secretly. News is becoming a user’s manual.
News is filling us with growing fear. News is enriching our life dramatically.

It’s no secret that reading good news feels a lot better than reading bad news.Like,would you rather bite into a lemon,or sip at a fresh glass of lemonade
　1　 The world is full of problems and conflicts and we need to stay informed and alert (警觉的) to what’s going on around us.While reading traditional,more negative news is important,consuming good news is also part of staying informed.　2　And it also brings meaningful benefits,like reduced stress and anxiety,higher rates of engagement,community building skills,and inspiration for creating a better world.Plus,knowing what to look for in the good news landscape is a key part of improving our media literacy skills and being thoughtful news consumers.
In fact,good news,known as solutions journalism,is becoming more popular,as publishers and news stations discover the benefits of sharing positive stories.Good Good Good is one of them.　3　 A team of reporters and editors there work daily to deliver stories that make readers feel hopeful and equipped to do more good with possible solutions.
“If it bleeds,it leads.” has long been a saying used in the media to describe how news stories about violence,death and destruction draw readers’ attention.　4　 The thing is,however,there’s also good stuff out there—the delightful and kind parts of humanity.“Beautiful stories are happening worldwide.　5　 When you do find them,the world can suddenly feel like a very different place.Good news is a vital part of how we learn about the world and solving the world’s problems,”Hervey,one of Good Good Good’s editors said.
A.Share good news with people around you.
B.It’s just that we don’t hear as much about them.
C.But the “bad news” has its place in the world.
D.It provides a more balanced view of the world.
E.And so,negative news stories are everywhere on news media.
F.Heartwarming stories make you cry and feel good.
G.The news media company is devoted to providing good news intentionally.

4.E　[根据空前的“‘只要它流血,就能上头条’一直是媒体用来描述有关暴力、死亡和破坏的新闻报道如何吸引读者注意力的说法”可知,新闻媒体偏爱于报道负面新闻,因为负面新闻往往能吸引读者的注意力。故E项“因此,负面新闻报道在新闻媒体上随处可见”是对上文的进一步解释,符合语境。]
5.B　[空前一句讲“美好的故事正在世界各地发生着”,空后讲“当你找到它们时,这个世界会突然变得非常不同”。由此可知,好的新闻故事不是不常见,而是需要我们去寻找。故B项“只是我们没有听到太多关于它们的消息”符合语境。B项中的them指代上文的“Beautiful stories”。]选择性必修第二册UNIT 4　HUMOUR

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共30分)
(2025·重庆高三三模拟)
I was 68 when I first stepped on stage as a standup comedian in 2003. I’d never set foot in a comedy club before.I’ve always been a performer—I’ve worked as a singer,actor and musician—but all that came to an end after a disaster in New York.For a year afterwards,nobody wanted to go out or be entertained.
It was then that I started to think about comedy.I realised people needed to laugh,to enjoy themselves again,and thought that with a little training I could do it.I took a few classes,tried to work out a routine,and finally plucked up the courage to get up on stage.That first time was terrifying.I had no idea what the audience would make of me.
In New York,comedians are typically young men with beards.It’s hard enough to break through as a woman,even harder as someone old enough to be their grandmother.As I stepped on stage that first time,people laughed nervously.They were clearly surprised to see me.I introduced myself,stated my age and tried my first joke.There was silence.But by the time I got to the third line,people were properly laughing.I was addicted.
Now my sets differ.I might be on stage for 10 minutes in front of a dozen people,or my one woman show is a full hour in front of a crowd of 100.Even today,I’m nervous before I step out.My first line is,“Hello,everybody.I’m 88 and three quarters years old.I’m telling you that in case I don’t make it all the way through the show.” Then people laugh and I relax.
After a show,people young and old come up to me,saying what an inspiration I am.They say they want to be as active as me when they reach my age.I’m pleased I can show that as an older person you don’t need to take a back seat in life.
I’ve no intention of stopping comedy.I’m taking all these pills,trying to stay alive,and I hope to still be performing when I’m 100.My goal is to still be up there making people laugh.It’s hard work,but it stops me being bored.I’d only be playing golf otherwise.
1.What made the writer take up comedy
She wanted to overcome her fears. She wanted to brighten others’ lives.
She was unwilling to quit performing. She wanted to work out a routine.
2.Why does the writer mention young men with beards in Paragraph 3
To show the challenge she was facing. To explain her attraction to the job.
To illustrate her special advantage. To describe her new friends in comedy.
3.How has the writer made progress since her first performance
She now performs before larger audiences.
She no longer feels nervous before performances.
She remains on the stage for a longer time.
She has learned to make a joke of her age.
4.Which of the following statements would the writer agree with
Age is just a number. Advancing years bring greater wisdom.
Old age means a chance to sit back. Being elderly means you have to slow down.
(2025·张家口高三质量检测)
The British are known for their sense of humour.However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes.The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement (轻描淡写).
Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say,“It’s a little damp outside.” Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person,someone else might say, “She isn’t exactly friendly.” Understatement is often used in an unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly.Understatement plays an important part in British humour.
Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others.They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidentally falls over in the street.They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society.They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave.What’s more, the British love to watch comedies about people who do not know how to behave in society.The comedy series Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humour.
Mr.Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990.Mr.Bean doesn’t talk often, and instead he uses his body movements and facial expressions to make people laugh.Perhaps what makes Mr.Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do.Mr.Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour.Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humour.
5.Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes
The British often stick to the facts.
British jokes are involved with many different cultures.
British jokes are not as funny as jokes in other countries.
The British try to make out that something is less important than it is.
6.The author explains understatement by 　　　　.
describing process making comparisons
following time order using examples
7.Mr.Bean makes people laugh by 　　　　.
using his body movements and facial expressions making jokes about others’ accents
copying others’ behavior telling funny stories
8.What can be the best title for the text
British Humour in Comedy Humour in Different Cultures
Understanding British Humour Developing Your Sense of Humour
(2025·昆明“三诊一模”高三质量检测)
Why do we universally appreciate cartoons Because they are visual—the humor unfolds right before our eyes.As writers,we have a unique challenge to craft worlds,including humorous ones,using only words.
At first glance,writers and cartoonists have vastly different toolboxes and skill sets.But if you look closely,you will notice similar devices,such as simplification,exaggeration (夸张) and contrast.
In many literary forms,decoration enriches a piece.That’s not true for humor writing—humor can get lost with too many details.Adding a bit of shading will give depth to an illustration,yet there’s usually no need to detail every feature.There’s a thin line between plain and funny,and the difference often lies in whether a writer adheres to the universal comedic principle,“less is funnier.”By simplifying complex situations,characters,plots and reactions,your work becomes more digestible and humorous.
Exaggeration is one of the most straightforward and effective comedic tools.As a humor writer,don’t shy away from every chance to stretch the truth,whether by understatement or overstatement.However,effective humor is truth based.The relationship between exaggeration and realism in humor is like stretching a rubber band (橡皮筋).A little stretching,even repeated stretching,is no problem.However,overstretching the band will cause it to break,as well as the humor and the readers’ trust.
Contrasting is the juxtaposition (并列) of elements not usually coupled,a technique that cartoonists use to create humorous mismatches by placing significantly different elements side by side.As writers,we can use juxtaposition to brainstorm new humor angles and create funny mismatches.
Humor is at its funniest when it’s visual,and writers can craft more humorous material by employing the same techniques used by cartoonists.By thinking and writing visually,you can show the funny to readers.
9.What do writers and cartoonists have in common in expressing humor
They craft worlds literally. They focus closely on details.
They employ techniques alike. They get through to readers easily.
10.What does the underlined phrase“adheres to” in paragraph 3 probably mean
Break. Follow. Revise. Challenge.
11.What is a way to achieve humor according to the author
Overstating simple situations. Shying away from the truth.
Reducing the number of bining uncoupled elements.
12.Where is the text most probably taken from
A review of modern cartoons. An essay on the art of writing.
An introduction to painting skills. A guidebook for passionate readers.

If you see humour as a form of entertainment, you’re missing some of its biggest benefits: Humour makes average looking people look cute and uninteresting people entertaining.　1　 Best of all, humour raises your energy, and that can have an effect on everything you do at school, at work, or in your personal life.The increase of energy will even make you more willing to exercise, and that will raise your overall energy even more.
　2　 Humour lets you better understand life and sometimes helps you laugh at even the worst of your problems.So it will be useful to include some humour tips for everyday life.
You don’t have to be the joke teller in the group in order to show your sense of humour.You can be the one who directs the conversation of fun topics that are ripe for others to add humour.Every party needs a straight person.　3　
When it comes to in person humour, effort counts a lot.When people see you trying to be funny, it frees them to try it themselves.　4　 People need permission to be funny social settings because there’s always a risk that comes with humour.For in person humour, quality isn’t as important as you might think.Your attitude and effort count a lot.
Some people—and I was one of them—believe that humorous complaints about the little problems of life make humor, and sometimes that is the case.　5　One funny observation about a problem in your life can be funny, but five is just complaining, no matter how smart you think you are.Funny complaints can wear people out.
A.You’ll appear fun and funny by association.
B.But not all senses of humour are created equal.
C.Humour also transports your mind away from your daily troubles.
D.Studies show that a good sense of humour even makes you seem smarter.
E.The problem comes when you start doing too much complaint based humour.
F.You have to be at least a bit self assured to laugh at yourself in front of others.
G.So even if your efforts at humour fail, you might free the hidden humour in others.

【语篇解读】　本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了作为作家应该如何运用写作技巧去表达幽默。
9.C　[细节理解题。根据第二段的内容可知,乍一看,作家和漫画家的工具箱和技能大相径庭,但如果仔细观察,就会注意到它们有类似的技巧,如简化、夸张和对比。由此可知,二者采用的技术是相似的,故选C项。]
10.B　[词义猜测题。根据下文的“comedic principle,‘less is funnier’”并结合语境可推知,此处表示平淡和滑稽之间只有微妙的分际,区别往往在于作家是否遵循普遍的喜剧原则——“越少越有趣”。故画线短语应该是“遵循”的意思,与follow的意思最为接近,故选B项。]
11.D　[细节理解题。倒数第二段谈到对比是将通常不搭配的元素并列,而将显著不同的元素并排放置来创造幽默的不匹配也是漫画家使用的一种技巧。那么作家也可以用并列来激发新的幽默角度。故可知实现幽默的手法之一是把不相结合的元素组合在一起,故选D项。]
12.B　[文章出处题。第一段谈到不同于漫画家,作家运用文字创造幽默,然后接下来谈到如何做到更好的幽默,最后一段又建议作家可以采用与漫画家相同的技巧来创作更多幽默的素材,通过视觉化的思考和写作,向读者展示有趣的内容。由此可知,本文与写作艺术有关,故选B项。]
Ⅱ.【语篇解读】　本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了幽默可以给人带来的好处以及变得幽默的方法。
1.D　[上下文列举了幽默给人带来的好处,可知本空也应说明幽默给人带来的好处,结合上文“Humour makes...look cute”的结构可知,D选项“研究表明良好的幽默感甚至会让你看起来更聪明”符合语境。]
2.C　[后文提到幽默可以让你更好地理解生活,有时甚至能让你在遇到最糟糕的问题时发笑,故C选项“幽默也能把你的注意力从日常烦恼中转移开”符合语境。]
3.A　[上文提到可以通过引导有趣的话题来展示自己的幽默感,即通过联想话题来显得自己有趣。故A选项“通过联想,你会显得很有趣”符合语境。]
4.G　[根据本段第一、二句可知,本空与上文构成因果关系,指出你可以启发别人去变得幽默,故G选项“所以即使你在幽默方面的努力失败了,你也可能释放别人隐藏的幽默”符合语境。]
5.E　[根据本段第一句可知,本段主要是关于对生活中的小问题进行幽默的抱怨,E选项中的complaint based humour对应上文中的humorous complaints。故E选项“当你开始做太多基于抱怨的幽默时,问题就来了”符合语境。]选择性必修第二册UNIT 5　EDUCATION

Education in 2080 is distinctive from education in the 2020s.Until about 2035,the main function of education systems is to supply the economy with the next generation of workers.In 2080,the purpose of education is the well being of society and all its members.To make this a bit more tangible for you,I would like to give an example of what a child’s education looks like in 2080.Her name is Shemsy.Shemsy is 13,and she is confident and loves learning.
Shemsy does not go to school in the morning because schools as you know them no longer exist.Schools have been replaced with “Learning Hubs” that are not restricted to certain ages.They are where intergenerational learning happens,in line with the belief that learning is the lifelong pursuit.
Every year,Shemsy designs her learning journey for the year with a highly attentive“teacher citizen”.Shemsy is actively engaged in designing her education and has to propose projects she would like to be involved in to contribute to and serve her community.She also spends lots of time playing as the role of play in learning has finally been recognized as the essential and core to our humanity.Shemsy works a lot collaboratively.Access to education is universal,and higher education institutions no longer differentiate themselves by how many people they reject yearly.Variability between students is expected and leveraged (充分利用) as young people teach one another and use their differences as a source of strength.Shemsy naturally explores what she is curious about at a pace she sets.She still has some classes to take that are mandatory for children globally:Being Human and the History of Humanity.
We invite you to think about your vision for education in the year 2080: what does it look like,who does it serve,and how does it transform our societies
1.What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us
There are different types of education.
The present education needs improvements.
Education and economy are closely associated.
The goal of future education is fundamentally different.
2.What do we know about the Learning Hub that Shemsy goes to
It accepts students of all ages. It promotes competition.
It discourages individualized learning. It is all about play based learning.
3.What does the underlined word “mandatory” in paragraph 3 mean
Tough. Satisfactory. Optional. Required.
4.What is the suitable title for the text
An Example to All A Vision for Education
A Challenge for Education A Journey into the Future

We can create learning moments that students remember forever if we open up our classrooms to awe and wonder.
Toward the end of my high school year,our Spanish teacher organized a trip to see an Andean band perform in Philadelphia.My classmates and I egged one another on ironically (讽刺地):Who could enjoy the show The performers’ clothing seemed odd.The instruments,strange.But then the performers kicked in,dancing to their bombo and wancara drums around the stage,and the panpipes and quena announced a kind of sound—new to us.
We had spent too little time discussing the culture of the Inca in social studies but its traditions came alive for us that evening.Once the wonderful performance lit up the stage and the hall filled up with music,my teenage cynicism disappeared.I rose out of my chair to dance with honest joy.
I have spent the last seven years living and working in South America.But my thirst for cultural exploration and a desire to understand the world outside my language and country have been alive longer than that.Sometimes I think that night dancing to those ancient rhythms unlocked this fascination.Why do I remember it so clearly decades later
In his recent book Awe:The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life,psychology professor Dacher Keltner explains that “brief moments of awe are as good for your mind and body as anything you might do”.Besides being a memorable emotion,awe boosts curiosity,builds humility,helps with critical thinking,and makes people feel more connected.It even makes us happier.“Twenty years into teaching happiness,” Keltner writes about how to find deep happiness,“I have an answer: FIND AWE.”
Moving forward,let’s do our best to build instances of awe into our curriculum (课程).So when our former students approach us on the subway years later,they will recall the magical moments from their days spent in our classes.
5.How did the students initially react to the Andean band’s performance
They showed respect for it. They approached it with doubt.
They left in disappointment. They felt joyful to appreciate it.
6.What does the underlined word “cynicism” in paragraph 3 refer to
The deep understanding of music. The strong enthusiasm for exploration.
The negative attitude to the world. The sense of connection with society.
7.What is paragraph 5 mainly about
The importance of finding happiness in life.
The lasting impact of a memorable experience.
The benefits of understanding different cultures.
The positive role of awe in improving one’s life.
8.Who is the text intended for
Teachers. High school graduates.
Parents. Psychology researchers.

选择性必修第二册　UNIT 5　EDUCATION
Ⅰ.【语篇解读】　本文是说明文。文章主要通过虚构人物Shemsy向读者展示对2080年的教育的展望,并引导读者思考自己对2080年的教育的想象。
1.D　[段落大意题。根据第一段的中心句“Education in 2080 is distinctive from education in the 2020s.”可知,2080年的教育和现在很不同;再结合第一段中的“In 2080,the purpose of education is the well being of society and all its members.”可知,本段主要讲未来的教育目标和现在截然不同,故选D项。]
2.A　[细节理解题。根据第二段中的“‘Learning Hubs’that are not restricted to certain ages...learning is the lifelong pursuit.”可知,Shemsy去的“学习中心”不限制年龄,几代人可以同时在那里学习,故选A项。]
3.D　[词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句中的“children globally”以及常识可推知,“Being Human”和“the History of Humanity”是全球儿童必学的科目,故选D项。]
4.B　[标题归纳题。第一段讲2080年的教育与现在截然不同;第二、三段通过虚构人物Shemsy展示了“what a child’s education looks like in 2080”;最后一段则向读者发出邀请,让读者思考“your vision for education in the year 2080”。综上可知,本文主要是对2080年教育的展望,故选B项。]
【语篇解读】　本文是夹叙夹议文。文章主要通过讲述作者在高中时期观看Andean乐队表演的经历,阐述了“敬畏”对学习和个人成长的积极影响,并呼吁老师应尽最大努力将体验“敬畏”融入课程。
5.B　[细节理解题。根据第二段中的“My classmates and I...The instruments,strange.”可知,作者和同学们起初觉得这个节目很奇怪,认为不会有人享受这场表演。由其中的反问以及odd、strange可知,学生们最初对乐队的表演持怀疑态度,故选B项。]
6.C　[词义猜测题。画线词在主句中作主语。由主句谓语“disappeared”和下文中的“I rose out of my chair to dance with honest joy.”可推知,画线词含有贬义或负面意义。再由上文中作者和同学们一开始对表演讥讽怀疑的态度可知,C项“对世界的消极态度”与画线词意思最为接近,故选C项。]
7.D　[段落大意题。根据第五段中的“brief moments of awe...you might do”和“awe boosts curiosity...makes us happier”可知,以上这些都属于敬畏在改善一个人的生活中的积极作用。D项准确地概括了第五段的段落大意,故选D项。]
8.A　[读者对象题。最后一段中提到“So when our former students...their days spent in our classes.”,由此可以提取到关键信息“我们以前的学生”“我们的课堂”。由此可推知,本文是专为老师写的,故选A项。]
Ⅱ.【语篇解读】　本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和朋友们在露营时的一次经历让作者增强了对人性之善的信心,并激发了其回馈社会的善举。
1.D　[根据空前的“There was a severe storm”可知,因为那里有猛烈的暴风雨,所以他们变紧张了,故选D项。]
2.A　[根据下文的“there were tornadoes heading in our way”可知,陌生人告诉他们龙卷风正在向他们袭来,所以陌生人是在好心提醒他们要注意,故选A项。]
3.B　[这个陌生人告诉作者和朋友们有龙卷风在向他们袭来,并邀请他们去他家避难,所以此处指他对作者和朋友们安全的关心让他们很惊讶,故选B项。]
4.C　[根据上文的“there had been a lightning strike near the place where we had camped”可知,露营地附近发生了雷击事件,所以几头牛应是被雷击死了,故选C项。]
5.A　[根据空前的“we spent the night in a nice dry home”以及空后的“given the opportunity to take a shower”可知,作者和朋友不仅受到陌生人的邀请去家里休息,甚至还有机会洗澡。merely“仅仅,只不过”,故选A项。]
6.B　[根据语境可知,作者以及他的朋友们和这个好心人原本是不认识的,因此此处指这次事情后他们交换了联系方式。submit“提交,呈递(文件、建议等)”;exchange“交换;交流;掉换”;check“检查,审查”;update“更新”,故选B项。]
7.A　[根据上文陌生人对作者和朋友们的帮助可知,在某种程度上他们觉得那家人是他们旅程中的一部分,同时这也是作者一生中最温馨的经历之一,因为这家人对他们很好却不求获得什么好处,故选A项。]
8.C　[参见上题解析。gain“获得,得到(好处)”;offer“提供,主动提议,建议”,故选C项。]
9.D　[根据语境可知,作者和朋友们是外出露营的,与这家人互为陌生人;再根据空后的“but they treated us with respect and kindness”可知,此处是说作者和朋友们绝对不是这家人会经常交往的人,但他们却被这家人待以尊重和善良,故选D项。]
10.D　[参见上题解析。associate with“交往”,故选D项。]
11.C　[根据上文陌生人对作者他们的帮助和常识可知,此处指陌生人的善意增强了作者对人性的信心,故选C项。]
12.D　[根据上文可知,作者和朋友们遇到的陌生人让他们回自己家休息、洗澡并一起吃饭,对他们展示尊重和善意,且并没有要求回报。所以此处指陌生人总是给予,没有附加条件,故选D项。]
13.A　[陌生人付出却不要求回报,这是最令人敬佩的部分。impressive“令人赞叹的,令人敬佩的”;practical“切实可行的”;satisfactory“令人满意的,够好的,可以的”;evident“清楚的,显而易见的,显然的”,故选A项。]
14.B　[结合下文的“We even bought food with our busking(街头卖艺)tips for the homeless.”可知,这件事情后作者和朋友们也开始传递善意帮助他人,甚至用他们街头卖艺换来的小费给无家可归的人买吃的。所以此处指那家人在接下来的旅途中深深地启发了他们去帮助别人,故选B项。]
15.C　[参见上题解析。seek“寻找”,故选C项。]
Ⅲ.【语篇解读】　本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了中式庭院的美景及其文化意蕴。
1.covered　[考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知,空处修饰passage。根据语境可知,passage在此表示“通道,走廊”。此处是说“在你前面,是一个红木盖成的带顶走廊”。此处表示“有顶的”,故填covered。]
2.grows　[考查时态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,空处作which引导的非限制性定语从句的谓语。根据上文可知,此处描述一般情况,应用一般现在时。which指代先行词rocks,并且此处介词短语提前,是完全倒装句,主语为bamboo谓语动词用单数,故填grows。]
3.with　[考查介词。根据语境可知,此处是说“你每走一步,别处的画卷也随之徐徐展开”。此处考查with复合结构,表示“随着”,故填with。]
4.Stepping/Having stepped　[考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知,本句谓语动词是look,空处应填非谓语。此处是说“(当你)迈进庭院时/后,你会看到这样的情景”,非谓语动词短语作时间状语,you和step之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,应用动词 ing形式;此处既可表示同时发生的动作,也可表示先后发生的动作,且位于句首,首字母应大写,故填Stepping/Having stepped。]
5.larger　[考查比较等级。句意:在墙上格纹窗露出了更多的竹子,表明了这个庭院只是更大的园林中的一部分。由上文中的more bamboo及语境可知,此处暗含比较意义,应用形容词比较级,故填larger。]
6.and　[考查并列连词。分析句子结构可知,此处a room和windows并列,故填and。]
7.strangely　[考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知,空处修饰后面的形容词shaped,应用副词,故填strangely。]
8.a　[考查冠词。分析句子结构可知,空处限制可数名词单数picture,结合句意“这个小庭院体现了中国古典宁静与美学理念的写照”,此处表泛指,且picture的发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。]
9.was created　[考查时态语态和主谓一致。句子主语为单数专有名词,与动词create之间为被动关系,且句子的时间状语为in 1981,应用一般过去时的被动语态,故填was created。]
10.visitors　[考查词性转换。根据句意,此处指庭院是为博物馆游客提供的休息场所,空处填名词,且不强调“任何一个”,应为复数形式,故填visitors。]
