If you like to laugh your head off don’t miss “Mark Twain Live”, starring Mike Randall. Luckily, it will make a much anticipated return. This year, Randall is celebrating his 50th year of performing in his one-man show that brings America’s greatest author and humorist to life.
The bond between Mike Randall (born in 1953) and Mark Twain began when Randall started playing Mark Twain at the age of 17. At age 20, he performed at the State Department in Washington, D. C., where John F. Kennedy gave his State of the Union address. And one year later, he brought his interpretation of the “Celebrated Humorist” to New York City.
Randall is the only Mark Twain impersonator (扮演者) to be formally acknowledged by the Daughters of the American Revolution for his impressive performance and the only Mark Twain actor to be a member of the famous National Speakers Association. “Mark Twain Live” is supported by the Mark Twain Museum of Buffalo. Randall is also the “official Mark Twain” of the Huck Finn Jubilee (an annual event), and the Annual Mark Twain Birthday Bash and Symposium.
In five decades of “being” Mark Twain, Randall has given more than 2,000 performances. To transform himself into Twain, Randall needs to spend over three hours at the make-up table. Removing all the make-up is more time-consuming and painful. But he never complains and tries to do well in every performance. Audiences nationwide agree that watching “Mark Twain Live” is a delightful experience, which brings Randall much motivation.
Randall is also brilliant in other areas. He recalled the person that was supposed to report the weather called in sick, so the director of WKBW-TV (a TV station in Buffalo) insisted he do it. “I have no choice but to accept the challenge,” Randall said. Afterwards, he signed a long-term contract with WKBW-TV. To do his job better, he received the approval from the National Weather Association. Also as an award-winning dramatist, Randall’s dramas have been produced at Buffalo’s Alleyway Theatre.
14. What effect would “Mark Twain Live” have on audiences
A. Calming B. Amusing C. Inspiring D. Surprising
15. What did Randall do in the year of 1974
A. He interviewed John F. Kennedy. B. He learned acting at Rosary Hill College.
C. He gave a speech at the State Department. D. He impersonated Mark Twain in New York.
16. Why is Randall’s connection with some organizations and events mentioned
A. To highlight his reputation in the art field. B. To recall his special bond with Mark Twin.
C. To admit his involvement in various activities. D. To show his keen interest in the one-man show.
17. Which of the following can best describe Mike Randall
A. Confident and caring B. Ambitious and humorous
C. Open-minded and independent D. Committed and multitalented
C
The scientist’s job is to figure out how the world works, to “torture” (拷问) nature to reveal her secrets, as the 17th century philosopher Francis Bacon described it. But who are these people in the lab coats (or sports jackets, or T-shirts and jeans) and how do they work It turns out that there is a good deal of mystery surrounding the mystery-solvers.
“One of the greatest mysteries is the question of what it is about human beings — brains, education, culture etc. That makes them capable of doing science at all,” said Colin Allen, a cognitive scientist at Indiana University.
Two vital ingredients seem to be necessary to make a scientist: the curiosity to seek out mysteries and the creativity to solve them. “Scientists exhibit a heightened level of curiosity,” reads a 2007 report on scientific creativity. “They go further and deeper into basic questions showing a passion for knowledge for its own sake.” Max Planck, one of the fathers of quantum physics, once said, the scientist “must have a vivid and intuitive imagination, for new ideas are not generated by deduction (推论), but by an artistically creative imagination. ”
But others disagree with this universal scientific mind. They believe that scientists have special abilities that set them apart. Discovering these abilities may be hard, Allen thinks, as many scientists will be reluctant to reveal them and would prefer to preserve the mystery of creativity, fearing that if it became an object of study it would lose its magic.
But for Allen, this is all part of a bigger question of what lies behind anyone’s behavior. “We are only just beginning to understand how the characteristics of organisms, including ourselves, aren’t the fixed products of either genes or of environment/culture, but each of us is the product of a continual interactive process in which we help build the environments that in turn shape us,” he said.
“As long as our best technology for seeing inside the brain requires subjects to lie nearly motionless while surrounded by a giant magnet, we’re only going to make limited progress on these questions,” Allen said.
18. What is one of the mysteries mentioned about scientists in the first two paragraphs
A. Why scientists prefer to work alone. B. How scientists uncover Nature’s secrets.
C. How scientific methods differ across cultures D. What enables humans to perform scientific work.
19. Why does the author mention Max Planck in paragraph 3
A. To introduce a famous scientist. B. To stress the role of creativity in science.
C. To compare different views on science. D. To illustrate what is curiosity in science.
20. What do Allen’s words in the last two paragraphs suggest
A. Human behavior is changeable and unpredictable.
B. We are passively influenced by our genes and culture.
C. Our interaction with the environment makes us who we are.
D. Current technology has revealed a lot about human behavior.
21. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Who Are The Mystery-Solvers B. Scientists Are Not Born But Made
C. Great Mystery: What Makes A Scientist D. Solving Mysteries: Inside A Scientist’s Mind
D
Many of us hold on to little complaints that may have come from an argument, a misunderstanding, the way we were raised, or some other painful events. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us — believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.
A friend of mine recently told me that she hadn’t spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn’t speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she said, “I can’t do that. He’s the one who should apologize.” After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case, when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.
Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff (问题)” into really “big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn’t mean that you’re wrong. Everything will be fine. You’ll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.
You’ll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right”, they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But, if for some reason they don’t, that’s okay too. You’ll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you’ll be more peaceful yourself.
22. The underlined word “rekindle” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.
A. develop B. recover C. accept D. establish
23. According to the author, we hold on to our anger often because we think ________.
A our own opinions matter most B. others will be less defensive
C. our positions are higher than others D. we can turn small issues into big ones
24. The best thing to do after a quarrel is to ________.
A. let go of our own rights B. realize you’re wrong
C. expect others to give in D. apologize to others first
25. What is the main idea of the passage
A. We should keep peaceful when facing small stuff.
B. We should tell apart small and big stuff in our daily life.
C. Reaching out and apologizing wins one peace and happiness.
D It’s necessary for us to enjoy our friendship and family relationship.

If you like to laugh your head off, don’t miss “Mark Twain Live”, starring Mike Randall. Luckily, it will make a much anticipated return. This year, Randall is celebrating his 50th year of performing in his one-man show that brings America’s greatest author and humorist to life.
The bond between Mike Randall (born in 1953) and Mark Twain began when Randall started playing Mark Twain at the age of 17. At age 20, he performed at the State Department in Washington, D. C., where John F. Kennedy gave his State of the Union address. And one year later, he brought his interpretation of the “Celebrated Humorist” to New York City.
Randall is the only Mark Twain impersonator (扮演者) to be formally acknowledged by the Daughters of the American Revolution for his impressive performance and the only Mark Twain actor to be a member of the famous National Speakers Association. “Mark Twain Live” is supported by the Mark Twain Museum of Buffalo. Randall is also the “official Mark Twain” of the Huck Finn Jubilee (an annual event), and the Annual Mark Twain Birthday Bash and Symposium.
In five decades of “being” Mark Twain, Randall has given more than 2,000 performances. To transform himself into Twain, Randall needs to spend over three hours at the make-up table. Removing all the make-up is more time-consuming and painful. But he never complains and tries to do well in every performance. Audiences nationwide agree that watching “Mark Twain Live” is a delightful experience, which brings Randall much motivation.
Randall is also brilliant in other areas. He recalled the person that was supposed to report the weather called in sick, so the director of WKBW-TV (a TV station in Buffalo) insisted he do it. “I have no choice but to accept the challenge,” Randall said. Afterwards, he signed a long-term contract with WKBW-TV. To do his job better, he received the approval from the National Weather Association. Also as an award-winning dramatist, Randall’s dramas have been produced at Buffalo’s Alleyway Theatre.
14. What effect would “Mark Twain Live” have on audiences
A. Calming B. Amusing C. Inspiring D. Surprising
15. What did Randall do in the year of 1974
A. He interviewed John F. Kennedy. B. He learned acting at Rosary Hill College.
C. He gave a speech at the State Department. D. He impersonated Mark Twain in New York.
16. Why is Randall’s connection with some organizations and events mentioned
A. To highlight his reputation in the art field. B. To recall his special bond with Mark Twin.
C. To admit his involvement in various activities. D. To show his keen interest in the one-man show.
17. Which of the following can best describe Mike Randall
A. Confident and caring B. Ambitious and humorous
C. Open-minded and independent D. Committed and multitalented
【答案】14. B 15. D 16. A 17. D

Randall is also the “official Mark Twain” of the Huck Finn Jubilee (an annual event), and the Annual Mark Twain Birthday Bash and Symposium(兰德尔是唯一一位因其令人印象深刻的表演而被美国革命女儿会正式认可的马克 吐温扮演者，也是唯一一位成为著名全国演讲者协会成员的马克 吐温演员。“马克 吐温现场秀”得到了布法罗马克 吐温博物馆的支持。兰德尔也是哈克 费恩庆典（一年一度的活动）以及年度马克 吐温生日派对和研讨会的“官方马克 吐温”)”可知，这些组织和活动都具有一定的权威性和影响力，可推理出提到兰德尔与它们的联系，是为了突出他在艺术领域的声誉。故选A项。
【17题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“To transform himself into Twain, Randall needs to spend over three hours at the make-up table. Removing all the make-up is more time-consuming and painful. But he never complains and tries to do well in every performance(为了把自己变成马克 吐温，兰德尔需要在化妆台前花费三个多小时。卸妆更耗时、更痛苦。但他从不抱怨，努力在每一场表演中都表现出色)”，可以看出他对表演很投入、很有责任心；再根据最后一段“Randall is also brilliant in other areas. He recalled the person that was supposed to report the weather called in sick, so the director of WKBW-TV (a TV station in Buffalo) insisted he do it. ‘I have no choice but to accept the challenge,’ Randall said. Afterwards, he signed a long-term contract with WKBW-TV. To do his job better, he received the approval from the National Weather Association. Also as an award-winning dramatist, Randall’s dramas have been produced at Buffalo’s Alleyway Theatre(兰德尔在其他领域也很出色。他回忆说，原本应该播报天气的人请病假了，所以 WKBW 电视台（布法罗的一家电视台）的导演坚持让他来做。“我别无选择，只能接受挑战，” 兰德尔说。之后，他与 WKBW 电视台签订了一份长期合同。为了更好地完成工作，他得到了国家气象协会的认可。作为一名获奖剧作家，兰德尔的戏剧也在布法罗的小巷剧院上演过)”，可以看出他在多个领域都有才华，即他是多才多艺的。故选D项。
C
The scientist’s job is to figure out how the world works, to “torture” (拷问) nature to reveal her secrets, as the 17th century philosopher Francis Bacon described it. But who are these people in the lab coats (or sports jackets, or T-shirts and jeans) and how do they work It turns out that there is a good deal of mystery surrounding the mystery-solvers.
“One of the greatest mysteries is the question of what it is about human beings — brains, education, culture etc. That makes them capable of doing science at all,” said Colin Allen, a cognitive scientist at Indiana University.
Two vital ingredients seem to be necessary to make a scientist: the curiosity to seek out mysteries and the creativity to solve them. “Scientists exhibit a heightened level of curiosity” reads a 2007 report on scientific creativity. “They go further and deeper into basic questions showing a passion for knowledge for its own sake.” Max Planck, one of the fathers of quantum physics, once said, the scientist “must have a vivid and intuitive imagination, for new ideas are not generated by deduction (推论), but by an artistically creative imagination. ”
But others disagree with this universal scientific mind. They believe that scientists have special abilities that set them apart. Discovering these abilities may be hard, Allen thinks, as many scientists will be reluctant to reveal them and would prefer to preserve the mystery of creativity, fearing that if it became an object of study it would lose its magic.
But for Allen, this is all part of a bigger question of what lies behind anyone’s behavior. “We are only just beginning to understand how the characteristics of organisms, including ourselves, aren’t the fixed products of either genes or of environment/culture, but each of us is the product of a continual interactive process in which we help build the environments that in turn shape us,” he said.
“As long as our best technology for seeing inside the brain requires subjects to lie nearly motionless while surrounded by a giant magnet, we’re only going to make limited progress on these questions,” Allen said.
18. What is one of the mysteries mentioned about scientists in the first two paragraphs
A. Why scientists prefer to work alone. B. How scientists uncover Nature’s secrets.
C. How scientific methods differ across cultures D. What enables humans to perform scientific work.
19. Why does the author mention Max Planck in paragraph 3
A. To introduce a famous scientist. B. To stress the role of creativity in science.
C. To compare different views on science. D. To illustrate what is curiosity in science.
20. What do Allen’s words in the last two paragraphs suggest
A. Human behavior is changeable and unpredictable.
B. We are passively influenced by our genes and culture.
C. Our interaction with the environment makes us who we are.
D. Current technology has revealed a lot about human behavior.
21. What is a suitable title for the text
A Who Are The Mystery-Solvers B. Scientists Are Not Born But Made
C. Great Mystery: What Makes A Scientist D. Solving Mysteries: Inside A Scientist’s Mind
【答案】18. D 19. B 20. C 21. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过探讨科学家的特质、科学研究的动力以及科学探索的局限性等话题，向读者介绍了科学家的工作方式和科学研究的本质。
【18题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The scientist’s job is to figure out how the world works, to “torture” (拷问) nature to reveal her secrets, as the 17th century philosopher Francis Bacon described it. But who are these people in the lab coats (or sports jackets, or T-shirts and jeans) and how do they work It turns out that there is a good deal of mystery surrounding the mystery-solvers.(科学家的任务是弄清楚世界是如何运作的，如17世纪哲学家弗朗西斯·培根所描述的那样，“拷问”自然，揭示其秘密。但那些在穿着实验服（或运动夹克，或T恤和牛仔裤）的人是谁，他们又是如何工作的呢？事实证明，这些解决谜团的人周围充满了许多神秘之处。)”以及第二段““One of the greatest mysteries is the question of what it is about human beings—brains, education, culture etc. That makes them capable of doing science at all,” said Colin Allen, a cognitive scientist at Indiana University.(印第安纳大学认知科学家Colin Allen说：“最大的谜团之一是关于人类——大脑、教育、文化等——究竟是什么使他们能够进行科学研究。”)”可知，使人类能够进行科学研究是科学家身上的谜团之一。故选D。
【19题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Two vital ingredients seem to be necessary to make a scientist: the curiosity to seek out mysteries and the creativity to solve them. “Scientists exhibit a heightened level of curiosity,” reads a 2007 report on scientific creativity. “They go further and deeper into basic questions showing a passion for knowledge for its own sake.” Max Planck, one of the fathers of quantum physics, once said, the scientist “must have a vivid and intuitive imagination, for new ideas are not generated by deduction (推论) , but by an artistically creative imagination. ”(要成为一名科学家，似乎需要两个关键要素：探索未知的好奇心和解决未知的创造力。2007年一份关于科学创造力的报告写道：“科学家表现出更高水平的好奇心。他们更深入地探索基本问题，表现出对知识本身的热爱。”量子物理学之父之一Max Planck曾说过，科学家“必须具有生动而直观的想象力，因为新思想不是通过推论产生的，而是通过具有艺术创造性的想象力产生的。”)”可知，文中提到Max Planck是为了说明他的观点，即科学家需要具有艺术创造性的想象力，即创造力，才能产生新思想，从而强调创造力在科学中的作用。故选B。
【20题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段““We are only just beginning to understand how the characteristics of organisms, including ourselves, aren’t the fixed products of either genes or of environment/ culture, but each of us is the product of a continual interactive process in which we help build the environments that in turn shape us,” he said. (他说：“我们才开始理解，包括我们自己在内生物体的特性，既不是基因也不是环境/文化的固定产物，而是我们每个人都是一个持续互动过程的产物，在这个过程中，我们帮助构建环境，而这些环境反过来又塑造我们。”)”以及最后一段““As long as our best technology for seeing inside the brain requires subjects to lie nearly motionless while surrounded by a giant magnet, we’re only going to make limited progress on these questions,” Allen said.( Allen说：“只要我们观察大脑内部的最佳技术需要受试者躺在巨大的磁体周围几乎一动不动，我们在这些问题上取得的进展就会非常有限。”)”可知，Allen的话表明他认为我们每个人都是一个持续互动过程的产物，我们与环境互动，同时被环境塑造，即我们与环境的互动塑造了我们自己。故选C。
【21题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段““One of the greatest mysteries is the question of what it is about human beings—brains, education, culture etc. That makes them capable of doing science at all,” said Colin Allen, a cognitive scientist at Indiana University.(印第安纳大学认知科学家Colin Allen说：“最大的谜团之一是关于人类——大脑、教育、文化等——究竟是什么使他们能够进行科学研究。”)”以及下文探讨了成为科学家需要的特质，如好奇心、创造力等，以及科学家是如何被造就的，即科学家不是天生的，而是由他们的个人特质、环境、文化等多种因素共同造就的。文章的核心就是探讨是什么造就了科学家。选项C“Great Mystery: What Makes A Scientist(大谜团：是什么造就了科学家)”既概括了文章的主题，又突出了“谜团”这一关键词，与文章开头提到的“神秘之处”相呼应。故选C。
D
Many of us hold on to little complaints that may have come from an argument, a misunderstanding, the way we were raised, or some other painful events. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us — believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.
A friend of mine recently told me that she hadn’t spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn’t speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she said, “I can’t do that. He’s the one who should apologize.” After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case, when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.
Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff (问题)” into really “big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn’t mean that you’re wrong. Everything will be fine. You’ll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.
You’ll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right”, they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But, if for some reason they don’t, that’s okay too. You’ll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you’ll be more peaceful yourself.
22. The underlined word “rekindle” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.
A. develop B. recover C. accept D. establish
23. According to the author, we hold on to our anger often because we think ________.
A. our own opinions matter most B. others will be less defensive
C. our positions are higher than others D. we can turn small issues into big ones
24. The best thing to do after a quarrel is to ________.
A. let go of our own rights B. realize you’re wrong
C. expect others to give in D. apologize to others first
25. What is the main idea of the passage
A. We should keep peaceful when facing small stuff.
B. We should tell apart small and big stuff in our daily life.
C. Reaching out and apologizing wins one peace and happiness.
D. It’s necessary for us to enjoy our friendship and family relationship.
【答案】22. B 23. A 24. D 25. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了我们应该主动伸出援手，向他人道歉，这样才能赢得内心的平静和快乐。
【22题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“Many of us hold on to little complaints that may have come from an argument, a misunderstanding, the way we were raised, or some other painful events. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us — believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.(我们许多人紧紧抓住可能来自争吵、误解、我们的成长方式或其他痛苦事件的小小抱怨。固执地，我们等待别人向我们伸出援手——相信这是我们原谅或_____友谊或家庭关系的唯一方式)”可知，我们紧紧抓住小小的抱怨，固执地等待别人向我们伸出援手，是因为我们觉得这是原谅或恢复友谊或家庭关系的唯一方式，所以“rekindle”在这里的意思是“恢复”。故选B。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff (问题)” into really “big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn’t mean that you’re wrong. Everything will be fine. You’ll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.(每当我们坚持自己的愤怒时，我们就会在脑海中把‘小问题’变成真正的‘大问题’。我们开始相信我们的立场比我们的幸福更重要。事实并非如此。如果你想成为一个更平和的人，你必须明白，正确几乎永远不如让自己快乐更重要。快乐的方法是放手，并伸出援手。让别人正确。这并不意味着你是错的。一切都会好起来的。你会体验到放手的平静，以及让别人正确的快乐)”可知，作者认为我们坚持自己的愤怒是因为我们认为我们的立场比我们的幸福更重要，即我们自己的观点最重要。故选A。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“A friend of mine recently told me that she hadn’t spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn’t speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she said, “I can’t do that. He’s the one who should apologize.” After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case, when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.(我的一个朋友最近告诉我，她已经近三年没有和儿子说话了。她说，她和儿子就他的妻子发生了争执，除非儿子先打电话，否则她不会再和他说话。当我建议她主动去找儿子时，她说，‘我不能那样做。是他应该道歉。’然而，在稍微鼓励之后，她确实决定第一个主动去找儿子。令她惊讶的是，她的儿子对她愿意打电话表示感谢，并主动道歉。通常情况下，当有人抓住机会主动伸出援手时，每个人都会赢)”可知，吵架后，作者建议作者的朋友主动去找儿子，她那样做了，结果她的儿子对她表示感谢，并主动道歉，所以作者认为吵架后最好的事情是先向别人道歉。故选D。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段讲述了我们许多人紧紧抓住小小的抱怨，固执地等待别人向我们伸出援手，相信这是我们原谅或恢复友谊或家庭关系的唯一方式；第二段通过一个例子说明当有人抓住机会主动伸出援手时，每个人都会赢；第三段讲述了如果我们坚持自己的愤怒，我们就会在脑海中把“小问题”变成真正的“大问题”，并指出如果我们想成为一个更平和的人，我们必须明白，正确几乎永远不如让自己快乐更重要，快乐的方法是放手，并伸出援手，让别人正确；第四段讲述了如果我们主动伸出援手并让别人正确，他们将会不那么防备我们，甚至也会向我们伸出援手，如果我们这样做后他们不这样做，也没关系，因为我们知道自己已经为创造一个更有爱的世界尽了一份力，当然我们自己也会更平静。综合这四段的意思可知，文章主要讲述了我们应该主动伸出援手，向他人道歉，这样才能赢得内心的平静和快乐，所以选项C“Reaching out and apologizing wins one peace and happiness(主动伸出援手并道歉能赢得内心的平静和快乐)”符合文章主旨。故选C。

At the graduation ceremony, the university president gave a speech ________________________ their hard-earned achievements.(用定语从句)
【答案】where he congratulated the graduates on
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句、时态。“At the graduation ceremony, the university president gave a speech”是主句，后面接定语从句修饰先行词speech。在定语从句中，先行词speech表示抽象的地点，在从句中作地点状语，所以用关系副词where引导定语从句。表示“祝贺某人某事”含义的表达为“congratulate sb. on sth.”，因句子表示的是过去发生的动作，谓语动词使用一般过去时，表示“毕业生”为名词graduates。故填 where he congratulated the graduates on。

【详解】考查虚拟语气，固定短语。表示“回应”的短语，可使用in response to或respond to，从句：as if...（仿佛……），表示一种假设，译法1：从句使用虚拟语气，表示一种假设的回应关系，与现在相反可表达为：it were in response to，其中it were可省略，构成状语从句省略句。译法2：主语“老钟（the old clock）”与“回应（respond）”是主动关系，用现在分词形式，即responding to，as if后可接分词短语（省略主语和be动词），构成状语从句省略句。故答案为：(it were) in response to / responding to。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，介绍了那达慕大会的时间、意义以及特色运动等内容。
【76题详解】
考查固定短语和时态。句意：那达慕大会在农历六月初四举行，通常持续三天。根据下文“the sixth month of the lunar calendar(农历六月)”可知，该空处句意为“在（某一天）”，固定短语fall on意为“（节日等）适逢（某日）”，句子阐述的是客观事实，用一般现在时，主语The Naadam Festival是单数，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式falls，因那达慕大会在六月初四举行。故填falls on the fourth day。
【77题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：这不仅是蒙古人民的庆祝活动，而且是对他们文化身份的根深蒂固的表达。根据下文“their cultural identity(他们文化身份)”可知，该空处句意为“而且是对……的根深蒂固的表达”，固定短语not only…but (also)…意为“不仅……而且……”，a deep - rooted expression of意为“对……的根深蒂固的表达”。故填but a deep - rooted expression of。
【78题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：节日的核心是已经流传了几个世纪的传统体育项目。根据下文“the traditional sports that have been practiced for centuries(已经流传了几个世纪的传统体育项目)”可知，空白处表示“在……的核心”，固定短语at the heart of意为“在……的核心”。故填At the heart of the festivals。
【79题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这些运动——摔跤、赛马和射箭——体现了蒙古人的精神、反映了他们的历史、价值观以及与土地的联系。根据上文“These sports —wrestling, horse racing, and archery(这些运动——摔跤、赛马和射箭)”以及下文“values, and connection to the land(价值观以及与土地的联系)”可推理出，空白处应填表示“反映他们的历史”含义的表达，reflect意为“反映”，此处用非谓语动词形式，逻辑主语These sports与reflect之间是主动关系，用现在分词形式reflecting。故填reflecting their history。
【80题详解】
考查with复合结构。句意：比赛中，摔跤手们穿着五颜六色的服装，这是力量、技巧、策略和尊重的展示。根据下文“is a display of strength, skill, strategy and respect(是力量、技巧、策略和尊重的展示)”可知，该空处句意为“摔跤手们穿着五颜六色的服装”，这是with复合结构，“wrestlers”是逻辑主语，“dressed in colorful costumes”是过去分词短语作宾语补足语，表示状态。故填with wrestlers dressed in colorful costumes。

【答案】Dear Peter,
In response to your letter inquiring about our school’s Lantern Festival celebration last month, I’d love to share with you my experience and thoughts.
The Lantern Festival, which falls on January 15th in the lunar calendar, symbolizes family reunion and the bringing of fortune, featuring a stunning display of lanterns. Our school’s celebration was a vibrant event, starting with an open-air concert. Following the concert was a Charity Fair, where students set up stands to sell homemade crafts and snacks. The money raised was donated to help those in need, making it a meaningful way to give back to the community.
In the activity, not only has it deepened my appreciation for our cultural heritage but it has also fostered a sense of unity among us students. I hope you have the opportunity to experience such traditions in person one day.
Yours,
Li Hua
