In the blue-green depths of the sea off the coast of Tuscany, Italy, an unusual seafloor sculpture park is defending its watery setting.
Since fisherman Paolo Fanciulli’s teens, he has been heading out daily to fish in these coastal waters along the Maremma coastline. It was in the 1980s that he began to notice the clear signs: a seabed that was becoming barren (贫瘠的), with exhausted fish stocks. Until recently, he has been forced to share catches with a threatening part: illegal “bottom trawlers (拖网捕鱼的人)”, who randomly spoil a large quantity of ocean life as they fish, dragging a weighted net along the seafloor behind their boats.
Fanciulli’s style of artisanal fishing (手工捕鱼), in contrast, needs to be friendly to nature as damaging the ecosystem could reduce fishermen’s income. Fanciulli understood that the success of his fishing activity was linked to the good state of the environment. The underwater “House of Fish” sculpture park, which was started in 2015 was encouraged by this fisherman. “One of the most effective solutions is to physically prevent trawling through artificial reefs…so I started working on this project, trying to combine the protection of the seabed with something that could also give an added value to our environment, something as beautiful as a sculpture,” he said.
Rocks or sculptures can break weighted trawler nets. They can also play a role as artificial reefs, giving corals and other sea life a place to live. Thanks to the underwater sculptures, some species not seen in a long while such as groupers and lobsters have returned. The sculpture park represents both an artistic statement and a physical barrier to seafloor trawling.
Today, 39 huge stone sculptures dot the seabed along an area of Tuscan coastline near the town of Talamone. In the immediate future, Fanciulli hopes to continue his great solution in coastal waters. “Man is still destroying the seas,” he says, “and my task continues.”
4. What poses a threat to Fanciulli’s work of artisanal fishing
A. Rocks on the seafloor. B. Frequent terrible weather.
C. A growing number of fishermen. D. Illegal trawling industry.
5. Why was the underwater sculpture park built
A. To show artists’ creativity.
B. To develop the local green tourism.
C. To protect the ecosystem of the sea.
D. To warn against fishing in coastal waters.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The results of banning seafloor trawling.
B. The process of building the sculpture park.
C. The damaging effects of trawling on sea life.
D. The roles of the sculpture park under the sea.
7. What could be the best title for this text
A. The first underwater park in the world
B Fanciulli’s innovation in cleaning the ocean
C. A seafloor park: Artworks for sea protection
D. Waters with sculptures: Better habitats for fish
C
Teaching children in a way that encourages them to empathize (产生共鸣) with others is of great significance to children’s creativity, new research suggests.
Pupils at two inner London schools were involved in the study. Pupils at one school spent the year following curriculum-prescribed lessons, while the other group’s lessons used a set of engineering design thinking tools which aim to develop students’ ability to think creatively and to cause empathy, while solving real-world problems.
Pupils at the intervention school were asked to design an asthma-treatment “pack” for children aged six and under. Pupils were given various creative and empathetic “tools” in order to do so: for example, they were shown data about the number of childhood asthma deaths in the U.K., and a video which describes a young child having an attack. They also explored the problem and tested their design ideas by role-playing various stakeholder (参与方) — patients, family members and medical staff.
Both sets of pupils were assessed for creativity at both the start and end of the school year. The results showed a statistically significant increase in creativity among pupils at the intervention school, where the thinking tools were used. At the start of the year, the creativity scores of pupils in the control school, which followed the standard curriculum, were 11% higher than those at the intervention school. By the end, however, the situation had completely changed: creativity scores among the intervention group were 78% higher than the control group.
Nicholl, the leading researcher of the study, said, “Teaching for empathy has been problematic despite being part of the National Curriculum for over two decades. This evidence suggests that it is a missing link in the creative process, and vital if we want education to encourage the designers and engineers of tomorrow.”
8. What were pupils at the intervention school asked to do
A. Watch the process of an asthma attack.
B. Gather data about asthma deaths in children.
C. Show sympathy for the young asthma sufferers.
D. Test their asthma-treatment “pack” on patients.
9 What does the research find about the pupils in the control school
A. They preferred to study the standard curriculum.
B. They were smarter at the beginning of the school year.
C. They had little empathy for the young children with asthma.
D. There were less creative than those at the intervention school in the end.
10 What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Empathy education and creativity go hand in hand.
B. Empathy education was neglected in the creative process.
C. Empathy education is a must for future designers and engineers.
D. Empathy education hasn’t been included in the National Curriculum.
11. What’s the passage mainly about
A. The standard curriculum limits pupils’ creativity.
B. Teaching pupils empathy improves their creative abilities.
C. Solving real-world problems promotes pupils’ all-round development.
D. An asthma-treatment “pack” was created by pupils at a London school.
D
The global population reached 8 billion on 15 November 2022, and India was estimated to surpass(超过)China as the world’s most populous country in 2023, according to World Population Prospects 2022, released on World Population Day.
“This year’s World Population Day falls during a milestone year, when we anticipate the birth of the Earth’s eight billionth inhabitant. This is an occasion to celebrate our diversity, recognize our common humanity, and marvel at advancements in health that have extended lifespans and dramatically reduced maternal and child mortality rates(死亡率),” said UN Secretary – General António Guterres. “At the same time, it is a reminder of our shared responsibility to care for our planet and a moment to reflect on where we still fall short of our commitments to one another,” he added.
The global population is growing at its slowest rale since 1950. The latest projections by the United Nations suggest that the world’s population could grow to around 8.5 billion in 2030 and 9.7 billion in 2050. It is projected to reach a peak of around 10.4 billion people during the 2080s and to remain at that level until 2100.
“The relationship between population growth and sustainable development is complex” said Liu Zhenmin, an official of the UN. “Rapid population growth makes defeating hunger and increasing the coverage of health and education systems more difficult. Conversely, achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, especially those related to health and education, will contribute to reducing fertility(能生育性)levels and slowing global population growth.”
Countries with ageing populations should take steps to adapt public programmes to the growing numbers of older persons, including by establishing universal health care and long-term care systems.
“Further actions by governments aimed at reducing fertility would have little impact on the pace of population growth between now and mid-century, because of the youthful age structure of today’s global population. Nevertheless, the cumulative(累计的)effect of lower fertility, if maintained over several decades, could slower global population growth greatly in the second half of the century,” added John Wilmoth, an official of the UN.
12. Which of the following statements would António Guterres agree with
A. We human beings should reflect on our diversity.
B. The global population growth goal has been achieved since 2022.
C. Governments shall try to keep their promises to population growth.
D. It is sure that the world’s population can grow to 9.7 billion in 2050.
13. What’s Liu Zhenmin’s attitude towards population growth
A. Objective. B. Satisfied. C. Doubtful. D. Puzzled.
14. What does the underlined word “Conversely” in the fourth paragraph mean
A. As a result. B. First of all. C. On the contrary. D. Most importantly.
15. How does John think of further actions by governments in the short run
A. There are many different debates on them.
B. They contribute to population’s structure.
C. They ignore world economy’s development.
D. There is little influence on population growth.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读下面短文，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。
Teens shifting their focus from parents to peers is normal. The self-protective urge to pull away at this stage of parenting can be strong. After all, they don’t seem to need me or want me around, right ____16____
Stand back and remember that this is not personal.
Children are trying to figure out what their relationship with their parents as an adult is going to look like. ____17____ It’s really painful to parents who are savoring every last moment with their teen under their roof to get their teenager annoyed at any proposal that the parent is using to try to pull them close. Nobody’s doing anything wrong. This is normal development.
Be a lighthouse.
Parents should reach an ideal balance —— “lighthouse parenting”. The adolescent years are a unique opportunity to support and influence our kids, if we can see through their apparent lack of interest in us and recognize how important we really are. As they’re growing, adolescents have a big job to try to answer this fundamental question, “Who am I ” ____18____ As our teens struggle to imagine themselves without us, they will sometimes actively push us away or give us the silent treatment.____19____
Remember that the lame duck experience will be temporary.
Interdependence often looks like once again living under one roof. So parents shouldn’t start counting down the days to that perfectly clean home just yet. Beneath teenagers’ too-cool-for-this exterior, there are soft spots that occasionally show themselves.____20____
A. Part of parent’s job is to wait patiently and non-judgmentally for them to appear.
B. And part of the answer is: ‘I am someone distinct and separate from my parents.’
C. Normal and even desirable as this stage is, it can be surprisingly hurtful for parents.
D. But the transition for parents from all-important to more of a barrier is often overlooked.
E. You should be a stable force for your children to measure themselves against and always return to.
F. But we shouldn’t take that outward expression of their struggle toward independence as evidence that we’re no longer needed.
G. But just as any parent at this stage may feel powerless, maybe this is a time to be more hands-on, just in a different way.

My great-grandmother didn’t have a china-and-jewelry kind of ____24____. While we were under the ____25____, she told me many ____26____ stories.

I felt the ____28____ a wife feels as throat cancer robs her beloved ____29____ of speech and ultimately of life. I felt the_____30_____ of the Depression (大萧条), what it was like to lose your home and to _____31_____ produce that had gone bad. My great-grandmother never cried when she _____32_____ her past, and afterward, she always said, ” Oh, kid, it’s a great life if you don’t _____33_____.”
A few years ago, my life took a _____34_____ turn, and curiously, I found my great-grandmother and her stories frequently occupying my _____35_____. I realized then that _____36_____ she had not left me any precious objects, she had left me a treasury of stories and a wealth of_____37_____. By turning her soul inside out to me during those nights in bed, she’d given me the greatest gift — her _____38_____, her courage to face life head-on.

In the blue-green depths of the sea off the coast of Tuscany, Italy, an unusual seafloor sculpture park is defending its watery setting.
Since fisherman Paolo Fanciulli’s teens, he has been heading out daily to fish in these coastal waters along the Maremma coastline. It was in the 1980s that he began to notice the clear signs: a seabed that was becoming barren (贫瘠的), with exhausted fish stocks. Until recently, he has been forced to share catches with a threatening part: illegal “bottom trawlers (拖网捕鱼的人)”, who randomly spoil a large quantity of ocean life as they fish, dragging a weighted net along the seafloor behind their boats.
Fanciulli’s style of artisanal fishing (手工捕鱼), in contrast, needs to be friendly to nature as damaging the ecosystem could reduce fishermen’s income. Fanciulli understood that the success of his fishing activity was linked to the good state of the environment. The underwater “House of Fish” sculpture park, which was started in 2015 was encouraged by this fisherman. “One of the most effective solutions is to physically prevent trawling through artificial reefs…so I started working on this project, trying to combine the protection of the seabed with something that could also give an added value to our environment, something as beautiful as a sculpture,” he said.
Rocks or sculptures can break weighted trawler nets. They can also play a role as artificial reefs, giving corals and other sea life a place to live. Thanks to the underwater sculptures, some species not seen in a long while such as groupers and lobsters have returned. The sculpture park represents both an artistic statement and a physical barrier to seafloor trawling.
Today, 39 huge stone sculptures dot the seabed along an area of Tuscan coastline near the town of Talamone. In the immediate future, Fanciulli hopes to continue his great solution in coastal waters. “Man is still destroying the seas,” he says, “and my task continues.”
4. What poses a threat to Fanciulli’s work of artisanal fishing
A. Rocks on the seafloor. B. Frequent terrible weather.
C. A growing number of fishermen. D. Illegal trawling industry.
5. Why was the underwater sculpture park built
A. To show artists’ creativity.
B. To develop the local green tourism.
C. To protect the ecosystem of the sea.
D. To warn against fishing in coastal waters.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The results of banning seafloor trawling.
B. The process of building the sculpture park.
C. The damaging effects of trawling on sea life.
D. The roles of the sculpture park under the sea.
7. What could be the best title for this text
A. The first underwater park in the world
B. Fanciulli’s innovation in cleaning the ocean
C. A seafloor park: Artworks for sea protection
D. Waters with sculptures: Better habitats for fish

Teaching children in a way that encourages them to empathize (产生共鸣) with others is of great significance to children’s creativity, new research suggests.
Pupils at two inner London schools were involved in the study. Pupils at one school spent the year following curriculum-prescribed lessons, while the other group’s lessons used a set of engineering design thinking tools which aim to develop students’ ability to think creatively and to cause empathy, while solving real-world problems.
Pupils at the intervention school were asked to design an asthma-treatment “pack” for children aged six and under. Pupils were given various creative and empathetic “tools” in order to do so: for example, they were shown data about the number of childhood asthma deaths in the U.K., and a video which describes a young child having an attack. They also explored the problem and tested their design ideas by role-playing various stakeholder (参与方) — patients, family members and medical staff.
Both sets of pupils were assessed for creativity at both the start and end of the school year. The results showed a statistically significant increase in creativity among pupils at the intervention school, where the thinking tools were used. At the start of the year, the creativity scores of pupils in the control school, which followed the standard curriculum, were 11% higher than those at the intervention school. By the end, however, the situation had completely changed: creativity scores among the intervention group were 78% higher than the control group.
Nicholl, the leading researcher of the study, said, “Teaching for empathy has been problematic despite being part of the National Curriculum for over two decades. This evidence suggests that it is a missing link in the creative process, and vital if we want education to encourage the designers and engineers of tomorrow.”
8. What were pupils at the intervention school asked to do
A. Watch the process of an asthma attack.
B. Gather data about asthma deaths in children.
C. Show sympathy for the young asthma sufferers.
D. Test their asthma-treatment “pack” on patients.
9. What does the research find about the pupils in the control school
A. They preferred to study the standard curriculum.
B. They were smarter at the beginning of the school year.
C. They had little empathy for the young children with asthma.
D. There were less creative than those at the intervention school in the end.
10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Empathy education and creativity go hand in hand.
B. Empathy education was neglected in the creative process.
C. Empathy education is a must for future designers and engineers.
D. Empathy education hasn’t been included in the National Curriculum.
11. What’s the passage mainly about
A. The standard curriculum limits pupils’ creativity.
B. Teaching pupils empathy improves their creative abilities.
C. Solving real-world problems promotes pupils’ all-round development.
D. An asthma-treatment “pack” was created by pupils at a London school.

The global population reached 8 billion on 15 November 2022, and India was estimated to surpass(超过)China as the world’s most populous country in 2023, according to World Population Prospects 2022, released on World Population Day.
“This year’s World Population Day falls during a milestone year, when we anticipate the birth of the Earth’s eight billionth inhabitant. This is an occasion to celebrate our diversity, recognize our common humanity, and marvel at advancements in health that have extended lifespans and dramatically reduced maternal and child mortality rates(死亡率),” said UN Secretary – General António Guterres. “At the same time, it is a reminder of our shared responsibility to care for our planet and a moment to reflect on where we still fall short of our commitments to one another,” he added.
The global population is growing at its slowest rale since 1950. The latest projections by the United Nations suggest that the world’s population could grow to around 8.5 billion in 2030 and 9.7 billion in 2050. It is projected to reach a peak of around 10.4 billion people during the 2080s and to remain at that level until 2100.
“The relationship between population growth and sustainable development is complex” said Liu Zhenmin, an official of the UN. “Rapid population growth makes defeating hunger and increasing the coverage of health and education systems more difficult. Conversely, achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, especially those related to health and education, will contribute to reducing fertility(能生育性)levels and slowing global population growth.”
Countries with ageing populations should take steps to adapt public programmes to the growing numbers of older persons, including by establishing universal health care and long-term care systems.
“Further actions by governments aimed at reducing fertility would have little impact on the pace of population growth between now and mid-century, because of the youthful age structure of today’s global population. Nevertheless, the cumulative(累计的)effect of lower fertility, if maintained over several decades, could slower global population growth greatly in the second half of the century,” added John Wilmoth, an official of the UN.
12. Which of the following statements would António Guterres agree with
A. We human beings should reflect on our diversity.
B. The global population growth goal has been achieved since 2022.
C. Governments shall try to keep their promises to population growth.
D. It is sure that the world’s population can grow to 9.7 billion in 2050.
13. What’s Liu Zhenmin’s attitude towards population growth
A. Objective. B. Satisfied. C. Doubtful. D. Puzzled.
14. What does the underlined word “Conversely” in the fourth paragraph mean
A. As a result. B. First of all. C. On the contrary. D. Most importantly.
15. How does John think of further actions by governments in the short run
A. There are many different debates on them.
B. They contribute to population’s structure.
C. They ignore world economy’s development.
D. There is little influence on population growth.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. D

【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The relationship between population growth and sustainable development is complex” said Liu Zhenmin, an official of the UN. “Rapid population growth makes defeating hunger and increasing the coverage of health and education systems more difficult. Conversely, achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, especially those related to health and education, will contribute to reducing fertility levels and slowing global population growth.””（联合国官员刘振民表示：“人口增长与可持续发展之间的关系是复杂的。”“人口的快速增长使战胜饥饿和扩大卫生和教育系统的覆盖面变得更加困难。相反，实现可持续发展目标，特别是与卫生和教育有关的目标，将有助于降低生育率，减缓全球人口增长。”）故可推知，刘振民对人口增长持客观评价的态度。故选A项。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词上文“Rapid population growth makes defeating hunger and increasing the coverage of health and education systems more difficult.”（人口的快速增长使战胜饥饿和扩大卫生和教育系统的覆盖面变得更加困难。）说明困难。以及下文“achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, especially those related to health and education, will contribute to reducing fertility levels and slowing global population growth.”（实现可持续发展目标，特别是与卫生和教育有关的目标，将有助于降低生育率，减缓全球人口增长。）说明好处。故可猜测划线单词Conversely为“相反”的意思。结合选项C项On the contrary.“相反的是”意思一致。故选C项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Further actions by governments aimed at reducing fertility would have little impact on the pace of population growth between now and mid-century, because of the youthful age structure of today’s global population.”（由于当今全球人口的年轻年龄结构，政府旨在降低生育率的进一步行动对从现在到本世纪中叶的人口增长速度几乎没有影响。）可知，约翰认为政府在短期内采取的进一步行动对人口增长影响不大。故选D项。

阅读下面短文，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。
Teens shifting their focus from parents to peers is normal. The self-protective urge to pull away at this stage of parenting can be strong. After all, they don’t seem to need me or want me around, right ____16____
Stand back and remember that this is not personal.
Children are trying to figure out what their relationship with their parents as an adult is going to look like. ____17____ It’s really painful to parents who are savoring every last moment with their teen under their roof to get their teenager annoyed at any proposal that the parent is using to try to pull them close. Nobody’s doing anything wrong. This is normal development.
Be a lighthouse.
Parents should reach an ideal balance —— “lighthouse parenting”. The adolescent years are a unique opportunity to support and influence our kids, if we can see through their apparent lack of interest in us and recognize how important we really are. As they’re growing, adolescents have a big job to try to answer this fundamental question, “Who am I ” ____18____ As our teens struggle to imagine themselves without us, they will sometimes actively push us away or give us the silent treatment.____19____
Remember that the lame duck experience will be temporary.
Interdependence often looks like once again living under one roof. So parents shouldn’t start counting down the days to that perfectly clean home just yet. Beneath teenagers’ too-cool-for-this exterior, there are soft spots that occasionally show themselves.____20____
A. Part of parent’s job is to wait patiently and non-judgmentally for them to appear.
B. And part of the answer is: ‘I am someone distinct and separate from my parents.’
C. Normal and even desirable as this stage is, it can be surprisingly hurtful for parents.
D. But the transition for parents from all-important to more of a barrier is often overlooked.
E You should be a stable force for your children to measure themselves against and always return to.
F. But we shouldn’t take that outward expression of their struggle toward independence as evidence that we’re no longer needed.
G. But just as any parent at this stage may feel powerless, maybe this is a time to be more hands-on, just in a different way.
【答案】16. G 17. C 18. B 19. F 20. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了针对成长过程中想要脱离父母的青少年，父母应该如何应对和处理的做法。
【16题详解】
上文“Teens shifting their focus from parents to peers is normal. The self-protective urge to pull away at this stage of parenting can be strong. After all, they don’t seem to need me or want me around, right (青少年把注意力从父母身上转移到同伴身上是很正常的。在养育子女的这个阶段，想要抽离的自我保护冲动可能很强烈。毕竟，他们似乎不需要我，也不希望我在他们身边，对吧？)”说明青少年成长过程中要脱离父母，这时养育子女的父母也想抽离自己，选项G“但是，正如任何处于这个阶段的父母都可能感到无能为力一样，也许现在是时候以一种不同的方式更多地亲力亲为了。”承接上文，转折语义，否定上文的做法，并且提出正确的做法。故选G项。
【17题详解】
上文“Children are trying to figure out what their relationship with their parents as an adult is going to look like.(孩子们正试图弄清楚他们成年后与父母的关系会是什么样子。)”说明孩子们成长过程中离开父母，想弄懂成年后与父母的关系，下文“It’s really painful to parents who are savoring every last moment with their teen under their roof to get their teenager annoyed at any proposal that the parent is using to try to pull them close. Nobody’s doing anything wrong. This is normal development.(对于那些正在享受与孩子在一起的最后时刻的父母来说，这真的很痛苦，因为他们的孩子对父母试图拉近他们关系的任何提议都感到恼火。没有人做错什么。这是正常的发展。)”说明父母试图拉进与孩子的关系，但是这让他们的孩子生气，父母很痛苦。选项C“虽然这个阶段是正常的，甚至是可取的，但对父母来说，它可能会带来意想不到的伤害。”承上启下，在孩子们想远离父母，试图弄懂成年后与父母的关系时，是正常的，但会给想拉近与孩子的关系的父母带来某种痛苦与伤害。故选C项。
【18题详解】
上文“As they’re growing, adolescents have a big job to try to answer this fundamental question, ‘Who am I ’(随着青少年的成长，他们有一项艰巨的任务，就是努力回答这个基本问题，‘我是谁？’)”说明随着青少年的成长，他们想找到‘我是谁？’这个问题的答案。选项B“部分答案是：‘我是一个与众不同的人，与我的父母不同。’”承接上文，部分回答了上文的问题。故选B项。
19题详解】
上文“As our teens struggle to imagine themselves without us, they will sometimes actively push us away or give us the silent treatment.(当我们的青少年挣扎着想象没有我们的自己时，他们有时会积极地把我们推开，或者对我们置之不理。)”说明孩子们想象着没有父母时，自己是什么样子，于是有时会推开父母，或者不搭理父母。选项F“但是我们不应该把他们争取独立的外在表现当作不再需要我们的证据。”承接上文，对上文进行补充说明，虽然孩子们有时会推开父母，父母们也不能认为他们不再需要父母，孩子们只是想争取独立。故选F项。
【20题详解】
上文“Interdependence often looks like once again living under one roof. So parents shouldn’t start counting down the days to that perfectly clean home just yet. Beneath teenagers’ too-cool-for-this exterior, there are soft spots that occasionally show themselves.(相互依赖通常看起来就像再次生活在一个屋檐下。所以，父母们不应该现在就开始倒计时，期待着拥有一个清净的家。在青少年过于冷静的外表下，他们的软肋偶尔也会显露出来。)”说明父母们不应该现在就倒计时，期待一个清净的家，过于冷静的青少年们的弱点也会显示出来，选项A“父母的工作之一就是耐心地、不带评判地等待他们的出现。”承接上文，进一步说明父母在这种情况下应该如何做。故选A项。

Anthony, a 11-year-old boy, became famous after a video of him dance in the rain outside his home in Nigeria was put on the Internet. He impressed people from his enthusiasm. An Oscar-winning actor saw the video of Anthony and put them on his social media. He wrote, “We can be greatly passionate despite of the great difficulties that have put in front of us.” Anthony is a student at a dance academy in a poor district in Africa. The academy gives freely lessons to poor children that have somewhere to practice. The academy’s founder said, “We are changing people’s attitude towards male dancers.” Anthony said, “There are not male ballet dancers like me here. While people see ballet, they think it is only for girls, but I want to tell them there are also male ballet dancers.”
【答案】1. 11-year-old前的a→an
2. dance→dancing
3. from→with/by
4. them→it
5. 删除despite后的of
6. have put中间增加been
7. freely→free
8. somewhere→nowhere
9. not→no
10. While→When
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了男孩Anthony因雨中跳舞的视频被传到网上而出名，他表现出的热情让人印象深刻，并借此介绍了当地为贫困儿童提供免费课程的舞蹈学院，以及Anthony本人的男性芭蕾舞演员梦想。
【详解】1. 考查冠词。句意：Anthony是一个11岁的男孩，因在尼日利亚家外面的雨中跳舞的视频被传到网上而出名。11-year-old的发音以元音音素开头，不定冠词需用an。故将11-year-old前的a改为an。
2. 考查非谓语动词。句意：Anthony是一个11岁的男孩，因在尼日利亚家外面的雨中跳舞的视频被传到网上而出名。作of的宾语应用动名词dancing，him为其逻辑主语。故将dance改为dancing。
3. 考查介词。句意：他的热情给人留下了深刻的印象。表示“用……给……留下深刻印象”应用动词短语impress sb. with/by sth.。故将from改为with/by。
4. 考查代词。句意：一位奥斯卡获奖演员看到了Anthony的视频，并把它放在了他的社交媒体上。指代前面的单数名词短语the video of Anthony应用代词it。故将them改为it。
5. 考查介词。句意：他写道：“尽管我们面临巨大的困难，我们仍然可以充满激情。”despite“尽管，即使”为介词，其后直接跟名词（短语）。故删除despite后的of。
6. 考查被动语态。句意：他写道：“尽管我们面临巨大的困难，我们仍然可以充满激情。”that引导限制性定语从句修饰先行词difficulties，先行词在从句中作主语，put和主语之间是被动关系，需用被动语态。故在have put中间增加been。
7. 考查形容词。句意：这所学院为没有地方练习的贫困儿童提供免费课程。修饰名词lessons应用形容词free，以为“免费的”。故将freely改为free。
8. 考查副词。句意：这所学院为没有地方练习的贫困儿童提供免费课程。根据前面的“poor children”可推知，贫困儿童应该是“没有地方”练习，表示“没有地方，无处”需用不定副词nowhere。故将somewhere改为nowhere。
9. 考查否定。句意：这里没有像我这样的男芭蕾舞演员。否定后面紧跟的名词应用no。故将not改为no。
10. 考查时间状语从句。句意：当人们看到芭蕾舞时，他们认为只有女孩才会跳，但我想告诉他们，也有男性芭蕾舞演员。此处引导时间状语从句，表示“当……时”，从句的谓语动词see是短暂性动词，侧重看到的结果，应用When引导该从句。故将While改为When。
