When physicist Stephen Hawking died in 2018 at the age of 76, the world mourned (哀悼), after the loss, there
remains the enormous legacy of the scientist and the man to consider.
Despite being a renowned expert in cosmology and black holes, there is still much to discover about Hawking. In Stephen Hawking: A memoir of friendship and physics, theoretical physicist Leonard Mlodinow offers a close glimpse inside the famous scientist’s life, ranging from his early days at university and diagnosis at age 21 with
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis to his later status as an international celebrity.
After co-authoring two books with Hawking, Mlodinow isn’t short of stories, particularly from time spent working together on their book The Grand Design. Hawking lived a colourful life often filled with hardship, and the possibility of death was never far away. Far from letting this be a setback, it is what Hawking credits for his
achievements. “It helped me focus,” he tells Mlodinow after dinner one night.
Even so, Mlodinow admits that initially he couldn’t help but feel sorry for Hawking, living with a condition
that required round-the-clock care and eventually left him unable to speak or voluntarily move anything but his eyes, brows and mouth. However, writes Mlodinow, “overtime all that pity would disappear like one of Stephen’s black holes”, adding that it “occurred to me that Stephen had proved himself to be an iron man in a fragile man’s
facade (外表)”. That view becomes one that readers will also tend to adopt as Mlodinow looks back.
Achievement came in many forms for Hawking, who refused to be restricted in thought or deed. As Mlodinow writes: “Often we limit our chances at success by limiting the goals toward which we strive. Stephen never did that. We can get used to anything, and we can accomplish, if not anything, then at least much more than we give
ourselves credit for. To grow close to Stephen was to understand this.”
24 .What can we learn about Mlodinow
A .He was one of Hawking’s friends. B .He worked for Hawking for many years.
C .He wrote two books about Hawking’s life. D .He was the strongest competitor for Hawking.
25 .How did Mlodinow feel about Hawking’s living condition at first
A .Admiring. B .Sympathetic. C .Envious. D .Puzzled.
26 .What can we infer about Hawking from the last paragraph
A .He kept pushing his limits. B .He had extraordinary talent.
C .He was good at educating others. D .He was a man with definite goals.
27 .What is the purpose of this text
A .To praise a relationship. B .To introduce a book.
C .To honor a breakthrough. D .To promote a physics theory.
C
One of the world’s oldest preserved human settlements has been significantly damaged by pouring rain in
Pakistan as the country battles the worst floods in its history.
Moenjodaro, a World Heritage site in the Indus River valley 508 kilometers (316 miles) from Karachi, was built in the Bronze Age, some 5,000 years ago. “Unfortunately we witnessed the mass destruction at the site,” reads a letter from the Cultural, Tourism & Antiquities Department of Singh state sent to UNESCO and signed by director Ihsan Ali Abbasi and architect Naveed Ahmed Sangah. The letter adds the site was being used as
temporary accommodation for surrounding residents whose own homes had flooded.
Moenjodaro’s significance can’t be underestimated when it was added to UNESCO’s register in 1980, the
organization wrote that Moenjodaro “bears exceptional proof to the Indus civilization,” comprising “the most
ancient planned city on the Indian subcontinent” .
The letter explains some of the immediate actions the site team has taken to mitigate the flood damage, like
bringing in water pumps and repairing brickwork. But it’s clear that these measures will not be enough.
Abbasi and Sangah ended their letter by asking for 100 million Pakistani rupees ($45 million) to cover the costs of full repairs. UNESCO has responded to the request for help, allocating $350,000 from its emergency fund for damaged historic sites in Pakistan during UN Secretary General António Guterres’s visit to the flood-stricken
country this week.
The funds will go to Moenjodaro and other sites including the Amri Museum. While the sum is far less than needed to fully repair the sites, it will pay for urgent work while UNESCO and local organization consider the best way forward. Sadly, the conservators of Moenjodaro have known for some time that flooding could bring a serious
risk to the site.
In their letter, Abbasi and Sangah express concern that Moenjodaro could be added to the list of UNESCO sites in danger, which the preservation body updates periodically to highlight historic places that are at severe risk
of ruin.
28 .What makes Moenjodaro special to Pakistan
A .The geographic feature it bears.
B .The role it played in fighting floods.
C .The mass destruction it suffered in history.
D .The value it holds in history and architecture.
29 .What does the underlined word “mitigate” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A .Reduce. B .Suffer. C .Avoid. D .Assess.
30 .Which best describes the situation of the repair work made so far
A .Creative. B .Worrying. C .Impractical. D .Satisfactory.
31 .Which can be a suitable title for the text
A .Pakistan’s Deadly Floods Causing Widespread Damage
B .Moenjodaro Calling for Attention to Its Severe Damage
C .Moenjodaro Added to the List of UNESCO Sites in Danger
D .Pakistan UNESCO Site Moenjodaro Badly Damaged by Flooding
D
Ancient builders across the world created structures that are still standing today, thousands of years later. Roman builders built thick concrete sea barriers against waves. Mayan builders created great sculptures, and
Chinese builders constructed walls against foreign enemies.
A growing number of scientists have been studying materials since a long time ago. They are breaking apart pieces of buildings and reading historical texts hoping to learn how they have stood for thousands of years. The research has turned up a surprising list of materials that were mixed into old buildings. They include tree bark, volcanic ash, rice and beer. These unexpected materials can have the ability to get stronger over time. Figuring out how to copy these features can have real impacts today. While some of our modern concrete has the strength to
hold up very tall buildings and heavy structures, it cannot compete with the durability of these ancient materials.
Many scientists have turned to the Romans. Starting around 200 BC, the Roman Empire was building concrete structures that have stood the test of time. Even in places where seawater has been hitting structures for ages, you will find concrete basically the way it was when it was poured 2,000 years ago. They think they have found an important reason why some Roman concrete has held up structures for thousands of years. That the ancient materials have an unusual power to restore themselves and “cure” cracks ( 裂 缝) when they form is the most
shocking for them. Exactly how is not yet clear, but scientists are starting to find the reasons.
Today’s builders cannot just copy the ancient processes. Even though Roman concrete lasted a long time, it
couldn’t hold up heavy buildings. Instead, researchers are trying to take some of the ancient materials and add them
into modern mixes. People don’t need to make things last quite as long as the Romans did. If we add 50 or 100 years to concrete’s lifespan, we’ll surely require less pulling down, less maintenance and less material in the long
run.
32 .What were the mentioned Roman and Chinese buildings both used for
A .Travel. B .Defence. C .Soldier training. D .Seawater control.
33 .Which word can best describe the ancient buildings
A .Long-lasting. B .Energy-efficient. C .Delicate. D .Flexible.
34 .What surprises the scientists most about the ancient building materials
A .Their large cracks. B .Their clear concrete.
C .Their internal structures. D .Their self-repairing ability.
35 .What is the author’s attitude to the future concrete
A .Tolerant. B .Expectant. C .Suspicious. D .Indifferent.

Given the growing interest in innovation, it’s no surprise that organizations are looking for clear guidelines on how to promote it. 36 Even so, certain strategies and skills are useful across a range of projects and at all
levels of an organization.
Spot opportunities for innovation. As innovation expert Greg Satell puts it, “No matter what form innovation takes, innovation is basically about solving problems.” As you think about your organization, what problems need solving Where do opportunities lie Once you land on some promising ideas, continue to explore them from
different angles. 37
Prioritize opportunities. You don’t have limitless time and resources, so prioritize potential innovations depending on where you think you’ll get the maximum benefits. 38 Then express them as assumptions
you can test through targeted experiments.
39 Don’t be shy. Make sure the time is right and tell your story to all the people involved, including those whose resource backing you need and those who’ll directly benefit from your innovation. You’ll want to
tailor your approach based on what’s important to each person and what you need from them.
Learn from your innovation efforts. 40 After each innovation, list what you would do again and what you wouldn’t. And don’t overthink failure; the key is to learn from it and apply those lessons to your next
innovation.
A .Every innovation is unique.
B .Test your potential innovations.
C .Build support for your innovations.
D .Just as the saying goes, “One is never too old to learn.”
E .You have probably heard the idiom “Fail fast, learn fast.”
F .By doing so, you may discover even more exciting possibilities.
G .Narrow in on the two or three ideas you think are worth improving.

May I have your attention, please I know it’s the end of the day, and everyone is eager to begin your holiday.
But I want to give a short speech about the past year. Since the summer, we all have been focusing our efforts on
the goal of creating three new products by Chinese New Year. Now, it’s just before Christmas, and we’ve already
achieved this goal. So, as this office’s general manager, I’d like to congratulate you all first.
Second, I’ve communicated with the board members over the last few days, and we have decided that
everyone will be going home with a holiday gift. I still remember the extra vacation days we got last year. But by
the end of today, everyone will receive a significant holiday bonus. It will be twice as much as last year. We all

When physicist Stephen Hawking died in 2018 at the age of 76, the world mourned (哀悼), after the loss, there
remains the enormous legacy of the scientist and the man to consider.
Despite being a renowned expert in cosmology and black holes, there is still much to discover about Hawking. In Stephen Hawking: A memoir of friendship and physics, theoretical physicist Leonard Mlodinow offers a close glimpse inside the famous scientist’s life, ranging from his early days at university and diagnosis at age 21 with
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis to his later status as an international celebrity.
After co-authoring two books with Hawking, Mlodinow isn’t short of stories, particularly from time spent working together on their book The Grand Design. Hawking lived a colourful life often filled with hardship, and the possibility of death was never far away. Far from letting this be a setback, it is what Hawking credits for his
achievements. “It helped me focus,” he tells Mlodinow after dinner one night.
Even so, Mlodinow admits that initially he couldn’t help but feel sorry for Hawking, living with a condition that required round-the-clock care and eventually left him unable to speak or voluntarily move anything but his eyes, brows and mouth. However, writes Mlodinow, “overtime all that pity would disappear like one of Stephen’s black holes”, adding that it “occurred to me that Stephen had proved himself to be an iron man in a fragile man’s
facade (外表)”. That view becomes one that readers will also tend to adopt as Mlodinow looks back.
Achievement came in many forms for Hawking, who refused to be restricted in thought or deed. As Mlodinow writes: “Often we limit our chances at success by limiting the goals toward which we strive. Stephen never did that.
We can get used to anything, and we can accomplish, if not anything, then at least much more than we give
ourselves credit for. To grow close to Stephen was to understand this.”
24 .What can we learn about Mlodinow
A .He was one of Hawking’s friends. B .He worked for Hawking for many years.
C .He wrote two books about Hawking’s life. D .He was the strongest competitor for Hawking.
25 .How did Mlodinow feel about Hawking’s living condition at first
A .Admiring. B .Sympathetic. C .Envious. D .Puzzled.
26 .What can we infer about Hawking from the last paragraph
A .He kept pushing his limits. B .He had extraordinary talent.
C .He was good at educating others. D .He was a man with definite goals.
27 .What is the purpose of this text
A .To praise a relationship. B .To introduce a book.
C .To honor a breakthrough. D .To promote a physics theory.
【答案】24 .A 25 .B 26 .A 27 .B

的目标来限制我们成功的机会。斯蒂芬从来没有这样做过。我们可以习惯任何事情,我们可以完成,如果 不是任何事情,那么至少比我们自己认为的要多得多。和斯蒂芬走得越近,就越能理解这一点。 ”)”可知,
文章的目的是介绍《斯蒂芬 · 霍金:友谊与物理的回忆录》这本书。故选 B。

One of the world’s oldest preserved human settlements has been significantly damaged by pouring rain in
Pakistan as the country battles the worst floods in its history.
Moenjodaro, a World Heritage site in the Indus River valley 508 kilometers (316 miles) from Karachi, was built in the Bronze Age, some 5,000 years ago. “Unfortunately we witnessed the mass destruction at the site,” reads a letter from the Cultural, Tourism & Antiquities Department of Singh state sent to UNESCO and signed by director Ihsan Ali Abbasi and architect Naveed Ahmed Sangah. The letter adds the site was being used as
temporary accommodation for surrounding residents whose own homes had flooded.
Moenjodaro’s significance can’t be underestimated when it was added to UNESCO’s register in 1980, the organization wrote that Moenjodaro “bears exceptional proof to the Indus civilization,” comprising “the most
ancient planned city on the Indian subcontinent” .
The letter explains some of the immediate actions the site team has taken to mitigate the flood damage, like
bringing in water pumps and repairing brickwork. But it’s clear that these measures will not be enough.
Abbasi and Sangah ended their letter by asking for 100 million Pakistani rupees ($45 million) to cover the costs of full repairs. UNESCO has responded to the request for help, allocating $350,000 from its emergency fund for damaged historic sites in Pakistan during UN Secretary General António Guterres’s visit to the flood-stricken
country this week.
The funds will go to Moenjodaro and other sites including the Amri Museum. While the sum is far less than needed to fully repair the sites, it will pay for urgent work while UNESCO and local organization consider the best way forward. Sadly, the conservators of Moenjodaro have known for some time that flooding could bring a serious
risk to the site.
In their letter, Abbasi and Sangah express concern that Moenjodaro could be added to the list of UNESCO sites in danger, which the preservation body updates periodically to highlight historic places that are at severe risk
of ruin.
28 .What makes Moenjodaro special to Pakistan
A .The geographic feature it bears.
B .The role it played in fighting floods.
C .The mass destruction it suffered in history.
D .The value it holds in history and architecture.
29 .What does the underlined word “mitigate” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A .Reduce. B .Suffer. C .Avoid. D .Assess.
30 .Which best describes the situation of the repair work made so far
A .Creative. B .Worrying. C .Impractical. D .Satisfactory.
31 .Which can be a suitable title for the text
A .Pakistan’s Deadly Floods Causing Widespread Damage
B .Moenjodaro Calling for Attention to Its Severe Damage
C .Moenjodaro Added to the List of UNESCO Sites in Danger
D .Pakistan UNESCO Site Moenjodaro Badly Damaged by Flooding
【答案】28 .D 29 .A 30 .B 31 .D
【解析】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了世界上保存最古老的人类住区之一—— 巴基斯坦的世界遗
产门佐达罗在暴雨中遭到严重破坏和拯救方法。
28 .细节理解题。根据第三段“Moenjodaro’ssignificance can’t be underestimated when it was added to
UNESCO’s register in 1980, the organization wrote that Moenjodaro “bears exceptional proof to the Indus
civilization,” comprising “the most ancient planned city on the Indian subcontinent”.(1980 年, 当门佐达罗被列入
联合国教科文组织名录时,它的重要性不容小觑。该组织写道,门佐达罗“为印度河文明提供了独特的证
据” ,是“ 印度次大陆上最古老的规划城市”)”可知,门佐达罗在历史和建筑上的价值使它对巴基斯坦来说很
特别。故选 D。
29 .词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“The letter explains some of the immediate actions the site team has taken(这 封信解释了现场团队立即采取的一些行动)”及下文“like bringing in water pumps and repairing brickwork. But it’s clear that these measures will not be enough.(比如引进水泵和修复砖墙。但很明显, 这些措施还不够)”可知, 现场团队立即采取了一些措施来减轻洪水破坏。由此可知, 划线词 mitigate 与 reduce“减少, 降低”意思接近。
故选 A。
30.推理判断题。根据第四段中的“But it’s clear that these measures will not be enough.(但很明显, 这些措施还 不够)”及倒数第二段中的“While the sum is far less than needed to fully repair the sites, it will pay for urgent work
while UNESCO and local organization consider the best way forward.(虽然这笔钱远远少于完全修复遗址所需
的钱,但它将支付联合国教科文组织和当地组织考虑最佳前进方式的紧急工作)”及最后一段“In their letter,
Abbasi and Sangah express concern that Moenjodaro could be added to the list of UNESCO sites in danger, which
the preservation body updates periodically to highlight historic places that are at severe risk of ruin.(在他们的信中, Abbasi 和 Sangah 表达了对门佐达罗可能被列入联合国教科文组织濒危遗址名单的担忧, 该保护机构定期更 新该名单, 以突出那些面临严重破坏风险的历史遗迹)”可推知, 到目前为止, 维修工作的情况令人担忧。故
选 B。
31 .主旨大意题。根据第一段“One of the world’s oldest preserved human settlements has been significantly
damaged by pouring rain in Pakistan as the country battles the worst floods in its history.(巴基斯坦正在与历史上 最严重的洪水作斗争, 世界上保存最古老的人类住区之一在暴雨中遭到严重破坏)”及下文介绍可知, 文章主 要介绍了世界上保存最古老的人类住区之一—— 巴基斯坦的世界遗产门佐达罗在暴雨中遭到严重破坏和拯 救方法。由此可知, D. Pakistan UNESCO Site Moenjodaro Badly Damaged by Flooding(巴基斯坦联合国教科
文组织世界遗产地门佐达罗被洪水严重破坏)适合作本文最佳标题。故选 D。

Ancient builders across the world created structures that are still standing today, thousands of years later. Roman builders built thick concrete sea barriers against waves. Mayan builders created great sculptures, and
Chinese builders constructed walls against foreign enemies.
A growing number of scientists have been studying materials since a long time ago. They are breaking apart pieces of buildings and reading historical texts hoping to learn how they have stood for thousands of years. The research has turned up a surprising list of materials that were mixed into old buildings. They include tree bark, volcanic ash, rice and beer. These unexpected materials can have the ability to get stronger over time. Figuring out how to copy these features can have real impacts today. While some of our modern concrete has the strength to
hold up very tall buildings and heavy structures, it cannot compete with the durability of these ancient materials.
Many scientists have turned to the Romans. Starting around 200 BC, the Roman Empire was building concrete structures that have stood the test of time. Even in places where seawater has been hitting structures for ages, you will find concrete basically the way it was when it was poured 2,000 years ago. They think they have found an important reason why some Roman concrete has held up structures for thousands of years. That the ancient materials have an unusual power to restore themselves and “cure” cracks ( 裂 缝) when they form is the most
shocking for them. Exactly how is not yet clear, but scientists are starting to find the reasons.
Today’s builders cannot just copy the ancient processes. Even though Roman concrete lasted a long time, it
couldn’t hold up heavy buildings. Instead, researchers are trying to take some of the ancient materials and add them into modern mixes. People don’t need to make things last quite as long as the Romans did. If we add 50 or 100 years to concrete’s lifespan, we’ll surely require less pulling down, less maintenance and less material in the long
run.
32 .What were the mentioned Roman and Chinese buildings both used for
A .Travel. B .Defence. C .Soldier training. D .Seawater control.
33 .Which word can best describe the ancient buildings
A .Long-lasting. B .Energy-efficient. C .Delicate. D .Flexible.
34 .What surprises the scientists most about the ancient building materials
A .Their large cracks. B .Their clear concrete.
C .Their internal structures. D .Their self-repairing ability.
35 .What is the author’s attitude to the future concrete
A .Tolerant. B .Expectant. C .Suspicious. D .Indifferent.
【答案】32 .B 33 .A 34 .D 35 .B
【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了世界各地的古代建筑者所建造的建筑在几千年后的今天仍然屹立不
倒的原因。
32 .推理判断题。根据第一段中“Roman builders built thick concrete sea barriers against waves. Mayan builders created great sculptures, and Chinese builders constructed walls against foreign enemies.” (罗马的建造者建造了 厚厚的混凝土防波堤。玛雅工匠创造了伟大的雕塑, 中国工匠建造了抵御外敌的城墙。)可推知, 罗马和中
国的建筑都是用来起到防御作用的。故选 B 项。
33 .推理判断题。根据第一段中“Ancient builders across the world created structures that are still standing today, thousands of years later.” (世界各地的古代建筑者所建造的建筑在几千年后的今天仍然屹立不倒。)以及第二 段中“A growing number of scientists have been studying materials since a long time ago. They are breaking apart pieces of buildings and reading historical texts hoping to learn how they have stood for thousands of years.” (长久 以来,越来越多的科学家一直在研究材料。他们正在拆除建筑物的碎片,阅读历史文献,希望了解它们是
如何屹立数千年的。)可推知,这些古建筑能够持久的存在。故选 A 项。
34 .细节理解题。根据第三段中“That the ancient materials have an unusual power to restore themselves and
“cure” cracks when they form is the most shocking for them.” (这些古老的材料具有一种不寻常的力量, 可以在
裂缝形成时自我修复和“治愈”裂缝,这对他们来说是最令人震惊的。)可知,古代建筑材料中最令科学家惊
讶的是它们的自我修复能力。故选 D 项。
35.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“If we add 50 or 100 years to concrete’s lifespan, we’ll surely require less pulling down, less maintenance and less material in the long run.” (如果我们将混凝土的寿命延长 50 年或 100 年,从长 远来看, 我们肯定需要更少的拆除, 更少的维护和更少的材料。)可推知, 作者对未来混凝土的态度是期待
的。故选 B 项。

levels of an organization.
Spot opportunities for innovation. As innovation expert Greg Satell puts it, “No matter what form innovation takes, innovation is basically about solving problems.” As you think about your organization, what problems need solving Where do opportunities lie Once you land on some promising ideas, continue to explore them from
different angles. 37
Prioritize opportunities. You don’t have limitless time and resources, so prioritize potential innovations depending on where you think you’ll get the maximum benefits. 38 Then express them as assumptions
you can test through targeted experiments.
39 Don’t be shy. Make sure the time is right and tell your story to all the people involved, including those whose resource backing you need and those who’ll directly benefit from your innovation. You’ll want to
tailor your approach based on what’s important to each person and what you need from them.
Learn from your innovation efforts. 40 After each innovation, list what you would do again and what you wouldn’t. And don’t overthink failure; the key is to learn from it and apply those lessons to your next
innovation.
A .Every innovation is unique.
B .Test your potential innovations.
C .Build support for your innovations.
D .Just as the saying goes, “One is never too old to learn.”
E .You have probably heard the idiom “Fail fast, learn fast.”
F .By doing so, you may discover even more exciting possibilities.
G .Narrow in on the two or three ideas you think are worth improving.

them from different angles.(发现创新的机会。正如创新专家 Greg Satell 所说:“无论创新采取何种形式,创新 基本上都是为了解决问题。 ”当你思考你的组织时, 有哪些问题需要解决?机会在哪里? 一旦你有了一些有 希望的想法, 继续从不同的角度探索它们)”可知, 本句为本段最后一句, 故承接上文说明从不同角度探索的 作用:发现更多令人兴奋的可能性。故 F 选项“通过这样做,你可能会发现更多令人兴奋的可能性”符合语
境,故选 F。
38 .根据上文“Prioritize opportunities. You don’t have limitless time and resources, so prioritize potential
innovations depending on where you think you’ll get the maximum benefits.(优先考虑的机会。你没有无限的时 间和资源, 所以根据你认为你能获得最大利益的地方来优先考虑潜在的创新)”以及后文“Then express them as assumptions you can test through targeted experiments.(然后把它们表达成你可以通过有针对性的实验来检验 的假设)”可知, 后文提到了就某些具体的创新想法展开表达, G 选项中two or three ideas 对应后文 them。故
G 选项“把注意力集中在你认为值得改进的两三个想法上”符合语境,故选 G。
39.根据本段内容“Don’t be shy. Make sure the time is right and tell your story to all the people involved, including
those whose resource backing you need and those who’ll directly benefit from your innovation. You’ll want to
tailor your approach based on what’s important to each person and what you need from them.(不要害羞。确保时机 合适,把你的故事告诉所有相关的人,包括那些你需要资源支持的人,以及那些将从你的创新中直接受益 的人。你需要根据对每个人来说什么是重要的以及你需要从他们那里得到什么来调整你的方法)”可知, 本段
的主旨是根据别人的想法来调整自己的创新想法,即获得支持。故 C 选项“为你的创新建立支持”符合语境,
故选 C。
40 .根据后文“After each innovation, list what you would do again and what you wouldn’t. And don’t overthink failure; the key is to learn from it and apply those lessons to your next innovation.(在每次创新之后,列出你会再 做的和不会再做的。不要过多地考虑失败;关键是要从中吸取教训,并将这些教训应用到你的下一次创新 中)”可知,本句是在说明从失败中汲取教训,从而进步。故 E 选项“你可能听过‘失败得快,学得快’这句谚
语”符合语境,故选 E。

The most famous ink sticks in China are the Hui Ink Sticks produced in Anhui Province. The Hui Ink Sticks use pine wood
64 its main raw ingredient, 65 is then mixed with another about 20 different materials. The
manufacturing procedure includes lighting the smoke, blending the materials together, pressing the ink sticks, drying by airing, filling the margin 66 boxing them up. The ink produced from these sticks is shiny black. For centuries, the Hui Ink Sticks 67 (produce) through the traditional methods. 68 simple and single, ink sticks are essential in Chinese calligraphy and painting, 69 (present) the splendid artistic conceptions to people.

【答案】
61 .necessity 62 .typically 63 .to transport 64 .as 65 .which 66 .and 67 .have been
produced 68 .Though/Although/While 69 .presenting 70 .created
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了墨在中国书法和绘画中的重要性,以及墨的制作方法和传承。
61 .考查名词。句意: 墨作为文房四宝之一(笔、墨、纸、砚),是中国书画的必需品。空前是冠词, 所以空
处应填名词作表语, necessary 的名词形式是 necessity。故填 necessity。
62 .考查副词。句意:墨水通常是用墨棒加一点水产生的。空处修饰空后的动词 produced ,用副词修饰。
故填 typically。
63 .考查非谓语动词。句意:墨棒是一种固体形式的墨水,比液体形式的墨水持续时间长得多,也更容易 运输。此处是固定搭配: be +修饰事情的形容词(easy/difficult/hard/challenging 等)+to do,表达的意思是“什 么事情很容易/难做”。动词不定式与其逻辑主语 the solid form of ink 构成动宾关系, 动词不定式用主动形式。
故填 to transport。
64 .考查介词。句意:徽墨以松木为主要原料,然后与其他大约 20 种不同的材料混合。此处是固定搭配:
use...as...意为“把……用作 ……” 。故填 as。
65 .考查定语从句。句意: 徽墨以松木为主要原料, 然后与其他大约 20 种不同的材料混合。分析句子结构 可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是前面整句话,在从句中作主句,用 which 引导。故填 which 。 66 .考查连词。句意:制作过程包括点燃烟,将材料混合在一起,压紧墨棒,通过风干,填充边缘和装箱。
根据句意可知, boxing them up 和前文 pressing the ink sticks, drying by airing, filling the margin 为并列关系,
用 and 连接。故填 and。
67 .考查动词时态和语态。句意:几个世纪以来,徽墨一直是用传统的方法制作的。分析句子结构可知,
produce 作本句谓语, 和主语 Hui Ink Sticks 之间是被动关系, 用被动语态, 根据时间状语 For centuries 可知
句子时态用现在完成时,主语是 the Hui Ink Sticks,助动词用 have 。故填 have been produced。
68 .考查状语从句连接词。墨棒虽然简单、单一,但在中国书画中是必不可少的,给人们呈现出灿烂的意
境。分析句子结构可知, 空处引导让步状语从句, 从句主语和主句主语一致, 且从句含有 be 动词, 可以省 略从句的主语+be 动词,根据句意,此处表达“ 虽然简单、单一”之意,用 though 或者 although 或者 while 引
导让步状语从句,位于句首,首字母应大写。故填 Though 或者 Although 或者 While。
69 .考查非谓语动词。句意:墨棒虽然简单、单一,但在中国书画中是必不可少的,给人们呈现出灿烂的 意境。本句已有谓语动词 are ,所以 present 用非谓语形式,和逻辑主语 ink sticks 之间是主动关系,用现在
分词形式作状语。故填 presenting。
70 .考查非谓语动词。句意:更重要的是,墨棒使得今天的现代人仍然可以欣赏到几十年前创作的杰作。
本句已有谓语动词 can appreciate,所以 create 用非谓语形式, 和逻辑主语 masterpieces 之间是被动关系, 用
过去分词作后置定语。故填 created。

I take part in the Cultural Exchange Week in London last month. Honest speaking, I enjoyed myself in a city. I paid a visit a city museum and some places of interest. They made me have a better understanding of the British society, culture or history. Of course, I also made several new friend there, who hobbies are similar to mine. What’s more, I was lucky to call on a pen friend, Johnson, who had been in touch with myself for a long time. I will never
forget the most happiest days that we spent together. When returning to China safely, I felt very satisfying.
【答案】 1. take→ took
2. Honest→ Honestly
3. a→ the
4. visit 后加 to
5. or→ and
6. friend→ friends
7. who→ whose
8. myself→ me
9. 去掉 most
10. satisfying→ satisfied
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在伦敦参加文化交流周的经历。
1. 考查时态。句意:上个月我参加了在伦敦举行的文化交流周。这里为本句谓语动词的时态,根据时间状
语“last month”可知,本句时态为一般过去时而不是一般现在时。故将 take 改为 took。
2. 考查固定搭配。句意:老实说,我在这个城市过得很愉快。固定搭配:honestly speaking,意为“老实说”,
符合句意。故将 Honest 改为 Honestly。
3. 考查冠词。句意:老实说,我在这个城市过得很愉快。修饰上文已经出现过的名词,表特指,用定冠词,
而不是不定冠词。故将 a 改为 the。
4. 考查固定短语。句意:我参观了城市博物馆和一些名胜古迹。固定短语: pay a visit to ,意为“参观” ,符
合句意。故在 visit 后加 to。
5. 考查连词。句意:他们让我对英国的社会、文化和历史有了更好的了解。根据句意可知, “culture”和
“history”之间不是选择关系而是并列关系,用 and 连接。故将 or 改为 and。
6. 考查名词的数。句意:当然,我也在那里交了几个新朋友,他们的爱好和我相似。根据“several”可知,
其后为可数名词的复数形式。故将 friend 改为 friends。
7. 考查定语从句。句意:当然,我也在那里交了几个新朋友,他们的爱好和我相似。这里为定语从句的关
系词,先行词为“several new friends”,和“hobbies”之间为所有关系,用关系代词 whose。故将 who 改为
whose。
8. 考查代词。句意:更重要的是,我很幸运地拜访了一位笔友,约翰逊,他已经和我联系很长时间了。根
据句意可知,从句主语为“who”,也就是“Johnson”,宾语则是“我” ,无需使用反身代词。故将 myself 改为
me 。
9. 考查最高级。句意:我永远不会忘记我们在一起度过的最快乐的日子。形容词 happy 的最高级为
happiest,其前无需加 most 。故将 most 去掉。
10. 考查形容词。句意:当我安全回到中国时,我感到非常满意。这里为形容词的用法,形容词 satisfying, 意为“令人满意的” ,修饰物; 而本句主语为“I”,用形容词“satisfied”,意为“感到满意的”。故将 satisfying 改
为 satisfied。

An Unforgettable Activity
Among all the activities that I participated in, working as a volunteer at a nursing home is the most
unforgettable.
It was a sunny day. On arrival at the nursing home, my classmates and I visited the elderly in groups and gave
presents to them to show our respect and love for them. After that, we organized various activities, some playing
chess with the old and some performing traditional Chinese music and dance. At last, we made dumplings for the
elderly. They were pleased with what we did and shared many wonderful stories with us.
Overall, the activity was of great significance. It not only taught me how to care for people in need, but let me
experience the pleasure of helping others.
