语法填空
（一）
When 1 (travel) in a train, a gentleman felt thirsty and got down at a station in search of water. No sooner had he reached the water tap than the engine whistled and started, so he missed the train.
It was getting 2 (dark) and he decided to find a place for a day’s stay. So he went to a small hut and asked the villager. The villager 3 (glad) agreed. With the villager’s
4 (permit), he could stay in his house for a day. That day the villager served the gentleman food and gave him a room to rest. Surprisingly, the villager neither asked nor expected anything
5 return.
At night, the gentleman heard a knock at the door. When the villager opened the door, the gentleman saw that a man 6 (dress) in rich clothes entered the hut and demanded the villager pay 7 (he) debts. The gentleman realized that the villager was in need of money. The next morning, he put a pocket on the table and 8 (leave). When the villager came to know about 9 pocket, he saw there was a note addressed to him, it read, “You helped me but did not expect anything from me. Yesterday I heard the conversation between you and the stranger and came to know that you were in need of money. This is 10 you need”.
（二）
Climate change really does change everything, including language. In October, Oxford English Dictionary (OED) released 1 update on its language on climate change and environmental sustainability.
Some new words 2 (include) in the dictionary so far. The OED doesn’t include chemical formulas, 3 it has made an important exception for CO because it has become, in its words, deeply-rooted in our everyday language.
“Global heating” is also a new entry. Although people got used to using global warming, OED said that global heating is being used 4 (often). That’s because while global warming suggests a kind of comfort, global heating conveys “the seriousness of climate change 5 (cause) by human activity and the urgent need to address it”.
Apart from 6 (add) these new words, some old words about climate have been given new meanings. The phrase “climate refugee” is an example. In the 19th century, when people spoke of climate refugees, they would be describing those 7 had moved to a place where the climate is healthier.
But now, as climate changes and weather events appear 8 (frequent), the phrase refers to the people who are forced to move in response to extreme weather or rising sea levels.
Trish Stewart, OED science 9 (edit), said the update reflects the very real sense of urgency of climate change now.
What happens next depends 10 so many factors but, one thing we can be sure of is that our language will continue to evolve and to tell the story.

一、阅读基础
A
Later this month, Tate Britain will host its first Van Gogh exhibition since 1947. Here we’ve rounded up 4 of his best paintings before the show.
Potato Eaters
Potato Eaters was Van Gogh’s first major work and, despite a distinct lack of colour, it was one that he was most proud of. His aim was to represent the difficulties of country life, so the farmers are painted in earthy tones with rough faces and bony hands. He was more concerned with conveying his message than achieving technical perfection in this painting.
Irises
Van Gogh finished almost 142 pieces during his stay in the Saint Remy de Provence asylum (精神病院),where he was a voluntary patient from 1889 to 1890. This piece was started shortly after he arrived there. The hospital garden provided much inspiration for the artist during his stay there. Originally, the flowers in this work were painted purple but the red pigment (色素) faded over time and has now turned blue.
Cafe Terrace at Night
Despite being painted more than 130 years ago, this cafe still exists in France and has since been renamed the Cafe Van Gogh. This artwork marks the first time Van Gogh’s famous post-impressionistic star-filled sky was seen in a piece, and it was painted on the ground, in person, rather than from memory. While the artwork doesn’t bear his signature, it’s widely known to be Van Gogh’s, as he mentioned Cafe Terrace at Night in a number of his letters.
Wheat Field With Cypresses
This piece was inspired by the view from Van Gogh’s asylum window and was finished on the spot. The work was the title of three paintings that offer an insight into his stay at the hospital. Van Gogh was 80 pleased with the summer landscape that he made three copies there, one of the same size — which hangs in the National Gallery and two smaller copies which he planned to gift to his mother and sister.
1. Which painting did Vincent van Gogh take most pride in
A. Irises. B. Potato Eaters.
C. Cafe Terrace at Night. D. Wheat Field With Cypresses.
2. What is the original color of the flowers in Irises
A. Purple. B. Blue. C. Red. D. Yellow.
3. What do the last two paintings have in common
A. They were the same in size. B. They had more than one copy.
C. They were signed by the artist. D. They were painted on the ground.
【重点词汇】
1. represent vt. __________ 2. convey vt. __________

I am Fionn Ferreira, an Irish teenager. I am very delighted to have won $50,000 for my project. My project came about as I was constantly hearing about plastic pollution on the news. And I also see the real effects on our beaches every day. I discovered, to my shock, that at present no filtration (过滤) for microplastics takes place in any European wastewater treatment centers, so I started looking for a solution.
Seeing that there was none, I decided to investigate further, finally finding a way to use the feerofluid (铁磁流体), a liquid which sticks to the plastic allowing it to be removed using magnets (磁铁). After over 1,000 tests I have proved that my method would remove 87% or higher of microplastics.
I grew up in West Cork, Ireland. My hometown is surrounded by untouched nature. This has been my primary inspiration about how nature works. I soon discovered that science really was in everything. The fact that I lived in such a remote place meant that I had to build my own equipment and lab to conduct tests and experiments.
Inspired by scientists such as Ben Feringa and his work with organic chemistry and nanotechnology (纳米技术), I would like to study chemistry or chemical engineering when finishing my last year of secondary school. Both of these subjects will be suited to me as I really enjoy problem-solving and experiments.
One of the most valuable rewards from the science fair for me is the opportunity to present my work to a group of professional judges. Winning the prize is a great honour to me as this is an acknowledgement of my project and ideas.
Also, winning the prize will give my project more attention. There is nothing I would like to see more than my project to be used in addressing microplastics in our oceans worldwide.
4. What do we know about Fionn
A. He lives by the sea. B. He discovered plastic pollution.
C. He works for a science fair. D. He was born in America.
5. Fionn set up the project to ________.
A. Clean the beaches. B. Investigate the feerofluid.
C. Remove microplastics from water. D. Collect plastic wastes.
6. Which word can best describe Fionn
A. Humorous. B. Honest. C. Competitive. D. Creative.
7. What is Fionn looking forward to most
A. Getting tests and experiments conducted.
B. Having his project acknowledged by the judges.
C. Attracting more attention to his project.
D. Seeing his project applied widely in real life.

C
I remember that it was a fall morning when the orchestra (管弦乐队) teachers came into Miss Newell’s third-grade classroom. “You have hands for the viola (中提琴),” Miss Ciano told me. I was excited because my hands were finally good for something. I told my parents I wanted to play, and naturally, they agreed.
Since I first touched the viola, I haven’t been able to put it down. Ignoring the difficulty, I am pulled closer to it each day.
Classical music is truly my best friend. It is the trusted friend of every man, woman and child. Various feelings are expressed in classical music. I discovered that when I was eleven and played a cello concerto (大提琴协奏曲) of Bach in a competition, the first movement was joyful, but the second movement was mysterious and full of pain. From the piece, I learned that music expresses not only feelings, but also sudden mood changes. By listening to classical music, I know that someone else shares these feelings. Since I am lucky enough to be able to play classical music, I am comforted by it when I am upset. It gives me a way to escape from my problems for a short period. Classical music can express my joy, sadness and anger.
Now look back at that fall day in the third grade and think how gullible I was for believing that anyone, even music teachers, could tell whether hands were perfect for a certain instrument. I’m certain they told me I had “viola hands” not because they were fortune-tellers (算命师), but because there was a lack of violists in our district. Classical music is one of the best things that ever happened to mankind. If you get introduced to it in the right way, it will become your friend for life.
1. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the first and second paragraphs
A. To introduce an interesting musical class. B. To offer the evidence of her gift for music.
C. To show the importance of proper guide. D. To tell the power of support from parents.
2. According to the passage, in what way does classical music help the author
A. By developing social skills. B. By improving mental health.
C. By broadening life experience. D. By building close relationship.
3. What does the underlined word “gullible” mean in the last paragraph
A. Easily tricked. B. Firmly loved.
C. Greatly challenged. D. Secretly hidden.
4. Which could be the best title for the passage
A. Special event, sweet memory B. Classical music, endless friendship
C. Lifetime dream, great effort D. Happy childhood, unforgotten experience

1. ignore vt. __________ 2. competition n. __________
3. joyful adj. __________ 4. movement n. __________
5. mysterious adj. __________ 6. comfort vt. __________ n. __________
7. lack n. __________ vt. __________ 8. introduce v. __________

D
A British energy supplier has apologized for the “poorly judged and unhelpful” advice sent to customers which suggested they could snuggle (依偎) up to their pets and exercise to cut back on their heating bills.
SSE, which is owned by OVO Energy, suggested 10 “simple and cost effective ways to keep warm this winter,” according to the Financial Times. Eating bowls of oatmeal (燕麦粥), doing star jumps and cuddling (搂抱) pets were among the recommendations on the now-deleted web page.
In a statement sent to CNN Tuesday, a spokesperson for OVO Energy said, “Recently a link to a blog containing energy saving tips was sent to customers. We understand how difficult the situation will be for many of our customers this year.” The spokesperson added, “We are working hard to find meaningful solutions as we approach this energy crisis, and we recognize that the content of this blog was poorly judged and unhelpful. We are embarrassed and sincerely apologize.”
Some British businesses and households have seen their energy bills rise in recent months, as suppliers deal with a sharp rise in wholesale gas prices. British consumers will pay roughly ￡790 more to heat and light their homes this year, according to Bank of America. Wholesale European gas prices have jumped by 400% over the previous year and electricity prices have increased by 300%, the bank’s analysts said last week. The increases have been driven by cold weather, nuclear plant outages in France and reduced gas flow from Russia.
According to National Energy Action, more than 4 million UK households are facing fuel poverty — a figure which the charity believes could rise by 2 million in April when a cap (上限) on energy prices is expected to increase.
OVO Energy removed its advice after a wave of angry responses from lawmakers and campaigners. Following the apology, British lawmaker Darren Jones, who chairs Parliament’s business select committee, tweeted: “Good, I’m glad they apologized. I’m not sure who signed off a marketing campaign telling people to wear a jumper (针织套衫) and eat porridge instead of turning on the heating if you can’t afford it.”
5. Why did OVO Energy apologize for its advice on the ways of keeping warm sent to customers
A. The ways are too costly. B. The ways are too simple.
C. The suggestions are difficult. D. The suggestions are ineffective.
6. Which is the result of the energy crisis for British
A. Energy bills rise too sharply in winter for most UK households.
B. All customers can afford the increasing price of coal.
C. The British government has found meaningful methods to face it.
D. The energy crisis have been driven by cold weather.
7. How did Darren Jones feel about the apology in the last paragraph
A. Nervous. B. Angry. C. Pleased. D. Concerned.
8. Where is this passage probably from
A. A travel brochure. B. A newspaper. C. A health magazine. D. A science fiction.

Couldn’t she find her own thing to do This time, it was Tilly’s first week at gymnastics, while Violet had done gymnastics for the past two years.
Violet sat on the gym floor, waiting for her turn to do somersaults (翻筋斗). She frowned at her little sister across the room. Why couldn’t Tilly always find her own thing to do “Violet, you’re up!” called Violet’s instructor, Miss Taylor. Violet came over and pushed off with her legs and straightened her arms. She did one, two, three somersaults. Miss Taylor clapped. “Perfect!”
Violet noticed that Tilly had stepped away from the younger group to watch Violet’s somersaults. “Tilly!” called Tilly’s instructor, Miss Brooke, from across the room. Tilly didn’t seem to hear. Not until she was called three times did she run back to her group. “ Your turn to do somersaults. ” Miss Brooke put an arm around her.

以下文章来自《英译中国现代散文选（三）》，翻译自英培安先生的《欣赏自己》。
One Self-Appreciation
Ying pei’an
Frankly, I very much appreciate myself. Yes, I admit I’m in many respects not as good as other people, but I don’t think I’m always no good. When I find what I’ve done or written is okay, I’ll remain pleased with myself for quite a few days, and, in case I receive praise for it, I’ll even become so swollen-headed as to add a few words to glorify myself.
True, I’m not modest at all.
People may call me conceited. But I think otherwise.
I also appreciate other people. I appreciate anything good. Isn’t it unfair to forget appreciating myself while appreciating others
We Chinese are generally inclined to be modest, and we take pride in being so. For example, a Chinese will call his own wife zhuojing, meaning “my humble wife”, and his own writings zhuozuo, meaning “my poor writings”. But if you should call his wife a “rustic woman”or his writings “trash”, he would, I’m sure, slap the table in a rage and declare he would make a clean break with you. As a matter of fact, there is probably no difference at all between what is said by him and you respectively.
I don’t think it’s wrong for you to freely praise yourself if you’re really worthy of praise. As we know, there is an old Chinese saying disparaging a melon peddler, named Lao Wang, who keeps praising his own goods. Well, why can’t he praise his melons if they are really sweet and juicy
Friends, Lao Wang sells melons for a living. How could he carry on business if he, by imitating the affectations of us intellectuals, were to show false modesty about his melons He would sure enough die of starvation.
Self-appreciation is therefore key to professional dedication and enjoyment of work. One will lose confidence in continuing with writing when he ceases to admire his own essays.
Needless to say, the same is true of those who make a living with their pen.
欣赏自己
英培安
不怕直说，我是相当欣赏自己的。我承认自己有许多不如人的地方，但也知道并不老是这样差劲。所以，我做了一件事，写了一篇文章，只要自觉还不错我可以乐上几天，遇有人赞，更飘飘然得不像话；甚至还会忘其所以，插上几句自夸的话。
真的，我一点也不谦虚。
或者这就是自负吧，恐怕要给人骂了。但有什么不对呢？
我也欣赏别人，凡是好的东西我都欣赏。只懂得欣赏别人而忘了欣赏自己，岂不是太不公平了？
但是，我们华人总是比较谦虚，而且引以为荣。自己的太太叫拙荆，文章曰拙作。如果你当真叫他的太太山芭婆，文章如狗屁，他保证勃然大怒，和你拍桌子绝交。其实，你所说的，和他说的，可能并没什么两样。
我以为，如果你的东西确是好的，直接说它好，没有什么不对。老王卖瓜，只要卖的是好瓜，为什么不能自卖自夸？
老兄，老王是靠卖瓜吃饭的，叫他也学我们书生扭扭捏捏，对自己的瓜谦虚一番，生意还用做么？他保证饿死大吉。
能欣赏自己，才能敬业乐业，写文章的人，若老是觉得自己的文章不行，我不相信他有信心涂下去。
卖文的，更不必说了。
参考答案
Day One
【基础夯实】
一、语法填空
（一）
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位村民好心收留错过火车的绅士，最后善有善报的故事。
1. travelling/traveling 考查状语从句的省略句。句意：坐火车旅行时，一位绅士感到口渴，于是在车站下车寻找水。“当某人正在做某事时”用when引导时间状语从句，从句中用进行时，且通篇时态是一般过去时，因此空格处是过去进行时was travelling/traveling，又因时间状语从句的主语和主句主语a gentleman一致，且从句中有be动词时，可省略从句中的主语和be动词。故填travelling/traveling。
2. darker 考查形容词比较级。句意：天越来越黑了，他决定找个地方住一天。“get +形容词比较级”意为“变得……”。故填darker。
3. gladly 考查词性转换。句意：村民欣然同意。副词作状语修饰动词agreed，所以用glad的副词形式。故填gladly。
4. permission 考查词性转换。句意：在村民的允许下，他可以在家里待一天。the villager’s是名词所有格结构，其后应用permit的名词形式。故填permission。
5. in 考查固定搭配。句意：令人惊讶的是，这位村民既没有提要求，也没有期望得到任何回报。固定搭配in return意为“作为回报、作为报答”。故填in。
6. dressed 考查非谓语动词。句意：当村民打开门时，这位绅士看到一个穿着华丽的男子走进小屋，要求村民偿还他的债务。be dressed in意为“穿着……”，此处用过去分词短语dressed in作后置定语，修饰名词a man。故填dressed。
7. his 考查代词。句意同上。用形容词性物主代词his作定语，修饰名词debts。故填his。
8. left 考查动词的时态。句意：第二天早上，他把一个口袋放在桌子上就走了。全文讲过去发生的事情，且与之并列的谓语动词put用一般过去时，所以谓语动词leave也用一般过去时。故填left。
9. the 考查冠词。句意：当这位村民逐渐了解这个口袋的情况时，他看到一张写给自己的纸条，上面写着：“你帮助了我，但不期望从我身上得到任何东西。昨天我听到了你和陌生人之间的对话，知道你需要钱。这就是你需要的。”特指上文提到的pocket，用定冠词the表特指。故填the。
10. what 考查表语从句。句意同上。该空引导表语从句，从句中缺乏宾语，意为“……的东西”，用连接代词what。故填what。
（二）
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了《牛津英语词典》收录的关于气候变化的新词汇——全球热化以及一些旧的词汇被赋予的新含义。
1. an 考查不定冠词。句意：今年10月，《牛津英语词典》（OED）发布了一个关于气候变化和环境可持续性的最新词汇。update在句中用作可数名词，此处泛指“一个最新词汇”，应用不定冠词，且update的发音是以元音音素开头。故填an。
2. have been included 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：到目前为止，词典已收录了一些新词。根据时间状语“so far”可知，句子用现在完成时，且主语words和动词include之间是被动关系，应用现在完成时的被动语态，主语是名词复数，助动词用have。故填have been included。
3. but 考查连词。句意：《牛津英语词典》没有收录化学公式，但它为二氧化碳开了一个重要的例外，因为用它的话说，它已经深深扎根于我们的日常语言中。结合句意可知，前后表示转折关系，应用连词but。故填but。
4. more often 考查副词比较级。句意：尽管人们已经习惯使用全球变暖这个词，但《牛津英语词典》表示，全球热化这个词正在被越来越多地使用。结合Although表达的转折语气及下句的解释可知，此处指“全球热化这个词正在被越来越多地使用”，应用副词比较级。故填more often。
5. caused 考查非谓语动词。句意：这是因为，虽然全球变暖给人一种安慰，但全球热化传达了“人类活动造成的气候变化的严重性和解决它的迫切需要”。动词cause和change之间是动宾关系，应用过去分词作后置定语。故填caused。
6. adding 考查非谓语动词。句意：除了增加这些新词，一些关于气候的旧词也被赋予了新的含义。作介词from的宾语，应用动名词形式。故填adding。
7. who/that 考查定语从句。句意：在19世纪，当人们谈到“气候难民”时，他们描述的是那些搬到气候更健康的地方的人。分析句子可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词是those，指人，关系词在从句中作主语，可用关系代词who或that。故填who/that。
8. frequently 考查词性转换。句意：但现在，随着气候变化和天气事件的频繁出现，这个短语指的是为了应对极端天气或海平面上升而被迫迁移的人。修饰动词appear，应用副词形式。故填frequently。
9. editor 考查词性转换和名词单复数。句意：《牛津英语词典》科学版编辑Trish Stewart说，这一更新反映了现在气候变化的真实紧迫性。分析句子可知，此处应填表示人的名词作主语，editor“编辑”是可数名词，此处用单数形式。故填editor。
10. on 考查固定搭配。句意：接下来会发生什么取决于很多因素，但有一件事我们可以肯定，那就是我们的语言将继续进化，讲述故事。depend on意为“取决于，依靠”，是固定短语。故填on。
二、用从属连词、连接代词以及连接副词将下列句子补充完整。
1. that 考查主语从句。句意：众所周知，这个国家是一个农业大国。分析句子可知，It在句中作形式主语；______ the country is a leading agricultural nation作真正的主语，故此处应填主语从句的连接词。由于主语从句不缺任何句子成分，也不缺任何含义，只需起连接作用，所以用that引导。故填that。
2. what 考查宾语从句。句意：当我们到达人们称之为小鸟天堂的地方时，我们兴奋地发现数千种鸟类定居在那里。分析句子可知，空处引导宾语从句，作介词at的宾语，且从句中缺少call的宾语，表示“……的地方”，用连接代词what引导。故填what。
3. Whoever 考查主语从句。句意：无论谁违法都应该受到惩罚。分析句子成分可知，空处引导主语从句，从句缺少主语，此处是泛指，表示“任何人”应用whoever引导。故填Whoever。
4. where 考查表语从句。句意：老实说，这就是我不同意你的地方。分析句子成分可知，空处引导表语从句，且从句中缺地点状语，所以用where引导。故填where。
5. how 考查宾语从句。句意：幸福不在于在我们身上发生了什么；它是关于我们如何看待发生在我们身上的事情。此处about为介词，后跟宾语从句，从句中缺少方式状语，应用how“如何”引导。故填how。
6. whoever 考查宾语从句。句意：我将向任何对质量和服务感兴趣的人推荐这家连锁店。空处引导宾语从句，从句缺少主语；结合句意，此处是指任何人，为泛指，应用whoever。故填whoever。
7. what 考查主语从句。句意：无论大小，我们所有的选择都有一个共同点，那就是它们都会导致特定的后果。引导主语从句，从句中缺少宾语，指事情，应用what引导。故填what。
8. that 考查表语从句。句意：他如此成功的原因是他从不放弃。分析句子结构可知，“he never gives up”是表语从句，从句中不缺主语或宾语，且句子意思完整，因此用that引导表语从句。故填that。
9. what 考查宾语从句。句意：今天的毕业生在他们的职业追求中更有创造性，可以根据市场的需求快速响应和改变。分析句子结构可知，空处需填宾语从句的引导词，且在从句中作demands的宾语，应用连接代词what。故填what。
10. where 考查表语从句。句意：这就是神舟八号宇宙飞船着陆的地方。分析句子可知，此处应用连接副词where引导表语从句，where在从句中作地点状语。故填where。
11. whether 考查表语从句。句意：你的能力从来没有被怀疑过，问题是你是否准备努力工作。分析句子可知，句子为表语从句，空格处单词引导从句，根据句意可知，问题是你“是否”准备努力工作，“if”不能引导表语从句，故空格处应用“whether”，意为“是否”。故填whether。
12. where 考查宾语从句。句意：——你读完这本书了吗？——没有。我已经读到孩子们发现这个秘密洞穴。空处引导宾语从句，从句缺状语，故用where引导，表示“……的地方”。故填where。
13. that 考查同位语从句。句意：很明显，女性可以和男性一样工作。分析句子结构可知，________ women can work as well as men为同位语从句，解释fact这一抽象名词，且从句句意完整，成分齐全。因此需要使用从属连词that。故填that。
14. why 考查表语从句。句意：我想以某种方式改变世界。这就是我开始了解灯塔计划的原因。分析句子成分可知，空格处的单词位于was之后，引导表语从句，由于从句中缺少状语，只能选择because或者why。但是that is because+原因，而that is why+结果，根据句意，“I began to learn about the Light-house Project”表示结果，why符合题意。故填why。
15. That 考查主语从句。句意：在伦敦人们讲话很快，并且使用不熟悉的话语，起初这让谢蕾很困惑。分析句子成分可知，空处引导主语从句，且主语从句中不缺成分，所以用从属连词that。故填That。

17. what 考查宾语从句。句意：他的话使我认识到我犯了多么愚蠢的错误。此处为感叹句作宾语从句，其结构为“what+形容词+可数名词复数/不可数名词+其他”。故填what。
18. That 考查主语从句。句意：她退烧了，让我放心满意。在接下来的四天里，我每天给她测量两次体温，确保她身体完全康复。分析句子结构可知，此句是一个主语从句，表示“她退烧了的事情使我满意”。缺少的引导词在句中不作任何成分，只起到连接作用，故用that引导。故填That。
19. Whether 考查主语从句。句意：你是否去那儿还没决定。空处引导主语从句，从句成分完整，但缺少“是否”之意，应用whether引导。故填Whether。
20. how 考查宾语从句。句意：在我到达英国后仅仅几天，我就意识到了这里的天气是多么变化无常。此处是宾语从句，从句是感叹句，由空后形容词changeable可知，应用how引导。故填how。

一、阅读提升
C
本文一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者一个偶然的机会开始拉中提琴，感受到古典音乐对我们的情感带来的好处，并把它看作一生最诚挚的朋友的故事。
1. C 推理判断题。根据文章第一段第二句老师说的话“You have hands for the viola (中提琴)（你有一双拉提琴的手）”、第一段最后一句“I told my parents I wanted to play, and naturally, they agreed.（我告诉父母我想拉琴，他们自然同意了。）”以及第二段“Ignoring the difficulty, I am pulled closer to it each day.（无视困难，我每天都离它越来越近。）”可知，因为老师的一句话以及父母的支持，作者才接触到古典音乐，并且坚持下去。由此可以推断，作者写第一、二段是为了说明老师和父母的正确引导对作者后来喜欢上古典音乐的重要性。故选C项。
2. B 推理判断题。根据第三段“I am comforted by it when I am upset. It gives me a way to escape from my problems for a short period. Classical music can express my joy, sadness and anger.（每当我难过的时候，古典音乐给了我安慰。它给了我一个暂时逃避问题的方法。古典音乐可以表达我的喜悦、悲伤和愤怒。）”可推知，古典音乐可以帮助作者改善精神状况。故选B项。
3. A 词义猜测题。文章最后一段中画线词后“I was for believing that anyone, even music teachers, could tell whether hands were perfect for a certain instrument. I’m certain they told me I had ‘viola hands’ not because they were fortune-tellers (算命师), but because there was a lack of violists in our district.（我因为相信任何人，甚至是音乐老师，都能分辨出某人的手是否适合弹奏某种乐器。我确定他们告诉我，我有“一双拉中提琴的手”不是因为他们是算命先生，而是因为在那个地区缺少中提琴演奏者）”可知，作者认识到当时相信了老师说自己“有一双拉中提琴的手”，而这其实并不是真话，由此可以猜测作者觉得自己轻信了老师的话，即gullible意思为“轻信的，易受骗的”。故选A项
4. B 标题判断题。根据文章第三段“Classical music is truly my best friend.（古典音乐是我最好的朋友。）”和文章最后一段“If you get introduced to it in the right way, it will become your friend for life.（如果你以正确的方式了解它，它将成为你终生的朋友。）”可知，本文主要讲述了作者一个偶然的机会开始拉中提琴，从此古典音乐成了作者最好的朋友。因此“Classical Music, Endless Friendship（古典音乐，永恒的友谊）”适合作文章标题。故选B项。
【重点词汇】
1. ignore vt. 忽视；对……不予理会 2. competition n. 竞争；角逐
3. joyful adj. 高兴的；快乐的 4. movement n. 动作；运动；活动
5. mysterious adj. 神秘的；奇怪的；不易解释的

【长难句翻译】
Since I am lucky enough to be able to play classical music, I am comforted by it when I am upset.
因为我很幸运地能演奏古典音乐，所以每当我难过的时候，古典音乐给了我安慰。
D
本文一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了一家英国供热企业为其发给客户的“不当又无用的”建议而道歉，这些建议包括让客户抱着宠物取暖或做运动来减少暖气开支。
5. D 细节理解题。根据第一段“A British energy supplier has apologized for the ‘poorly judged and unhelpful’ advice sent to customers which suggested they could snuggle (依偎) up to their pets and exercise to cut back on their heating bills.（一家英国供热企业为其向客户发出的“不当又无用的”建议道歉，建议包括让消费者抱宠物取暖或做运动来减少暖气开支。）”和第三段的“we recognize that the content of this blog was poorly judged and unhelpful. We are embarrassed and sincerely apologize（我们认识到这个博客的内容不当，毫无帮助。我们感到很尴尬，并真诚地道歉）”可知，该能源供应商道歉是因为他们的建议是无效的。故选D项。
6. A 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“According to National Energy Action, more than 4 million UK households are facing fuel poverty — a figure which the charity believes could rise by 2 million in April when a cap (上限) on energy prices is expected to increase.（根据国家能源行动，超过400万英国家庭正面临燃料贫困——该慈善机构相信，当能源价格上限提高时，到四月份燃料贫困家庭还会再增加200万户。）”可知，英国的能源危机的结果对多数英国家庭来说就是能源账单上涨太快。故选A项。
7. C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Darren Jones说的话“Good, I’m glad they apologized. I’m not sure who signed off a marketing campaign telling people to wear a jumper (针织套衫) and eat porridge instead of turning on the heating if you can’t afford it.”（很好，我很高兴他们道歉了。我不知道是谁批准了这个营销方案，让人们穿毛衣喝粥而不是打开你没钱支付的暖气。）可推知，Darren Jones对于道歉这件事是感到满意的。故选C项。
8. B 文章出处题。根据第一段“A British energy supplier has apologized for the ‘poorly judged and unhelpful’ advice sent to customers which suggested they could snuggle (依偎) up to their pets and exercise to cut back on their heating bills.（一家英国供热企业为其向客户发出的“不当又无用的”建议道歉，建议包括让消费者宠物取暖或做运动来减少暖气开支。）”可推知，这是一篇新闻报道，所以文章最可能来自报纸。故选B项。
【重点词汇】
1. apologize vi. 道歉；谢罪 2. effective adj. 有效的；生效的
3. recommendation n. 正式建议；提议 4. contain vt. 包含；含有；容纳
5. recognize vt. 辨别出；承认；认可 6. sincerely adv. 真诚地；诚实地

1. We are working hard to find meaningful solutions as we approach this energy crisis, and we recognize that the content of this blog was poorly judged and unhelpful.

2. I’m not sure who signed off a marketing campaign telling people to wear a jumper (针织套衫) and eat porridge instead of turning on the heating if you can’t afford it.
我不知道是谁批准了这个营销方案，让人们穿毛衣喝粥而不是打开你没钱支付的暖气。

Day Four
【写作实战】
一、应用文
How to Protect the Environment
As we all know, June 5 is the World Environment Day. As high school students, we should contribute to environmental protection.
At present, tail gas pollution is very serious, and we’d better take public transport or ride a bike instead of driving. In addition, plastic pollution is also severe, and what we can help is to avoid buying plastic-bottled water. Finally, many places lack water. Therefore, when we don’t use tap water, we should turn off the tap immediately.
Take action now and we will have a great impact on the environment!
二、读后续写
Paragraph 1:
But Violet knew how excited Tilly had been about joining in gymnastics. Every time Tilly watched Violet doing somersaults at the gym, the big toothy smile was always on her face. So Violet decided to cheer her up. Casting a comforting smile at Tilly, she helped her sister wipe out tears from her cheeks. “You’re better at somersaults than I was on my first day of gymnastics.” Violet explained how embarrassing her first somersault was. A smile took hold of Tilly when the amusing scene came to her.
