WHY DO WE CELEBRATE FESTIVALS？
　　Festivals are celebrated all around the world.They have a wide range① of origins②， such as the seasons of the year， religions③， famous figures④， and important events.Every festival has its different customs and unique charms⑤.However，[1] no matter how different they may seem， all over the world， the spirit of sharing joy⑥， gratitude⑦， love， or peace is common in all festivals.
　　Of all the traditional festivals， the harvest⑧ festival can be found in almost every culture.[2]This important agricultural⑨ festival takes place after all the crops⑩ have been gathered in. People celebrate to show that they are grateful for the year’s supply of food.In ancient Egypt， the harvest festival was celebrated during the springtime — the Egyptian harvest season.It featured a parade and a great feast with music， dancing， and sports.Today， in some European countries， people decorate churches and town halls with flowers and fruit， and get together to celebrate over a meal.During the Mid-Autumn Festival in China， families gather to admire the shining moon and enjoy delicious mooncakes.
　　[1]“no matter＋特殊疑问词”引导让步状语从句，意为“无论……”。
　　[2]句中的after引导时间状语从句，意为“在……之后”。
　　Customs play a significant role in festivals， but sometimes they can change over time.With the development of modern society and the spread of new ideas， some traditions may fade away and others may be established.One example is the typical Chinese Spring Festival custom of lighting firecrackers to drive away the evil spirits and celebrate the new year.Nowadays， many big cities have given up this custom in order to avoid air pollution.[3]Another example is Halloween， which slowly became an exciting festival for children， in spite of its religious origins.
　　[4]Festivals are becoming more and more commercial ， with businesses taking advantage of the celebrations.Online shopping websites and social media apps have made it much easier for the public to spend more on gifts for their loved ones.Although some believe festivals should not be commercialised ， others believe the increase in spending is good for the economy and public happiness.
　　Festivals are an important part of society.They reflect people’s wishes， beliefs ， faiths ， and attitudes towards life.They are occasions that allow us to relax and enjoy life， and forget about our work for a little while.They help us understand where we came from， who we are， and what to appreciate.And if you study festivals carefully， you may be surprised to find that different cultures actually have a lot in common after all.
　　[3]句中which引导非限制性定语从句。
　　[4]句中使用了with复合结构，即“with＋宾语＋宾语补足语”；动词-ing短语taking advantage of the celebrations作宾语补足语，用于补充说明宾语businesses的情况。

【参考译文】
我们为什么庆祝节日？
　　世界各地都庆祝各种节日。节日的由来五花八门，比如时节、宗教、著名人物及重大事件。每个节日都有它不同的风俗和独特的魅力。然而，无论节日多么迥异，在世界各地，分享快乐、感恩、友爱或和平的精神存在于所有节日之中。
　　在所有的传统节日中，丰收节几乎可见于每一种文化之中。这一重大的农业节日在庄稼全部收割后举行。人们举行庆祝活动，对这一年收获的食物表达感恩。在古埃及，人们于春季（即埃及的丰收季）庆祝丰收节。庆祝活动主要是游行和丰盛的筵席，载歌载舞，并伴有体育活动。如今，在一些欧洲国家，人们用鲜花和水果装饰教堂和市政厅，聚在一起共享大餐，以示庆祝。在中国的中秋节，家家户户欢聚一堂，观赏明月，品尝美味的月饼。
　　风俗在节日中扮演重要角色，但有时也随时间而变化。随着现代社会的发展和新思想的传播，有些传统会渐渐消失，而另一些传统则得以建立。中国春节燃放鞭炮以驱鬼神、贺新年这一典型风俗就是一个例子。如今，为了避免空气污染，许多大城市已经摒弃了这一风俗。另一个例子是万圣节，虽然起源于宗教，但万圣节渐渐成了孩子们纵情玩乐的一个节日。
　　节日正变得越来越商业化，商家会利用这些庆祝活动（进行促销）。购物网站和社交媒体应用程序极大地方便了人们为至亲至爱花更多钱购买礼物。尽管有人认为节日不应该被商业化，但是也有人认为消费增长有利于（提高）经济和公众幸福感。
　　节日是社会的一个重要组成部分。节日反映了人们的愿望、信仰、信念以及对生活的态度。节日是让我们放松心情、享受生活、暂时忘却工作的时刻。节日让我们了解我们来自何方、我们是谁、我们应该感恩什么。此外，如果你仔细研究各种节日，你会惊奇地发现不同的文化实际上有很多相同之处。

　　Stallone was so poor at one point that he sold his wife’s jewellery.He ended up becoming homeless， sleeping in a bus station， and struggled to afford food.He even managed to get a small amount of money in his pocket by selling his dog for $25.
　　Soon after， Stallone decided to take his career into his own hands and write a movie role for himself.After watching a boxing match， Stallone wrote the script （脚本） for Rocky very quickly， and soon a studio wanted to buy the screenplay to make.
　　Stallone was offered $125，000 for the Rocky script， but the trouble for the studio was that Stallone wanted to star in the movie.Stallone was penniless， but he still turned down $125，000 in order to chase his dream.
　　After being refused on the idea that he “looked and talked funny”， Stallone was then offered $250，000 for the screenplay.He refused unless he could star.He was then offered $350，000.Again he refused.
　　The studio wanted this screenplay so badly， but was not willing to risk the money on this unknown actor.Stallone stayed strong， and eventually the studio gave him a small amount for the script and let him star.
　　With his fortunes up， Stallone went to buy back his dog， but the guy he sold it to would not sell him back.Stallone offered the man $1，000 for the dog， but the man refused.Eventually， the man accepted $15，000 for the dog.
　　And this is why Stallone has deserved his success and why he is on this list of the best inspiring stories — because he was willing to do whatever it takes to realise his dreams.

　　You might think it’s absurd （and maybe it is）， but Oxford English Dictionary （OED） editors recently revealed that “run” has indeed become the single word with the most potential meanings in all of English， boasting no fewer than 645 different usage cases for the verb form alone.How could three little letters be responsible for so much meaning？
　　Context is everything.Think about it： When you run a fever， for example， those three letters have a very different meaning than when you run a bath to treat it.You’d do things differently if you ran the world.Maybe you should run for office.
　　It bears mentioning that “run” didn’t always have the run of the dictionary.When the OED’s first edition came out in 1928 （after 70 years of editorial research）， the longest entry belonged to another three-letter juggernaut：“set.” Even today， the print edition of the OED contains some 200 meanings， beginning with “put， lay， or stand （something） in a specified place or position”， and continuing on for about 32 pages.
　　So what happened？ Why is “run” suddenly the Swiss Army Knife of verbs？ British author Simon Winchester fancies it “a feature of our more energetic and frantic times”， making words like “set” seem almost boring and passive by comparison.“Run” appears to have earned some major lift during the boom of the Industrial Revolution， when all manner of mechanized innovation adopted it as their verb of choice.“Machines run， clocks run， computers run—there are all of those （meanings） which began in the middle of the 19th century，” Winchester says.
　　So， ready to run through the whole list of definitions？ Alas， to read all 645 meanings you’ll have to wait for the next edition of the Oxford English Dictionary.The print run is expected in 2037.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。你知道英语中意义最丰富的单词是哪个吗？文章对此进行了简要介绍。
28.What does the underlined word “boasting” in Paragraph 1 probably mean？（　　）
A.Expressing.　　B.Possessing.
C.Suggesting.　　D.Demanding.
解析：B　词义猜测题。根据上下文可知，run是英语中意义最丰富的单词。画线词后的645 different usage cases提示这里的boasting是“拥有”之意。
29.What helped the word “run” to have more meanings？（　　）
A.A change in lifestyles.
B.Cultural development.
C.Economic development.
D.A change in environment.
解析：C　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段可知，工业革命的发展为run一词赋予了更多含义。
30.What can we learn about the word “run” from the text？（　　）
A.It can only be used as a verb.
B.It takes up about 32 pages in the OED.
C.It has the same meaning in different situations.
D.It wasn’t the word with most meanings in the past.
解析：D　细节理解题。根据第三段可知，1928年第一版《牛津英语词典》中含义最多的单词是set。
31.What can we infer about English words from the text？（　　）
A.Their meanings don’t stay unchanged.
B.Short ones are usually more expressive.
C.Long ones tend to have more meanings.
D.“Set” will have more meanings than “run”.
解析：A　推理判断题。综合全文可知，run最初并非英语中含义最多的单词，而是随着时代的发展含义越来越多，最后成为英语中意义最丰富的单词。由此判断，英语中单词的意义不会保持不变。
D
　　To understand how much we rely on ecosystem services， imagine a world where humans are the only species — perhaps in a spaceship far from the Earth.
　　There are no plants releasing oxygen， so you have to engineer a way to make it yourself. So straight away you need a chemical processing plant on board your ship. That same plant will have to make water too.
　　There is also nothing to eat， so you must artificially make food.You could synthesise （人工合成） chemicals like sugars and fats， but making it delicious would be extremely hard.As of 2015， we can’t even make an artificial burger that everyone finds convincing.
　　Let’s not even get started on the microorganisms （微生物） living in your gut， many of which are beneficial. The point is that， while we could in theory do all these things artificially， it is far easier to let the existing wildlife do them for us.
　　The scale of these ecosystem services， when you add them up， turns out to be extraordinarily large.
　　In 1997， ecologist Robert Costanza and his colleagues estimated that the ecosystem provides services worth around $33 trillion a year.For comparison， they noted that the entire global economy at the time produced around $18 trillion a year.
　　Five years later， the team took the argument a step further by asking how much we would gain by conserving biodiversity.They concluded that the benefits would outweigh the costs by a factor of 100.In other words， conserving nature is an unbelievably good investment.
　　By contrast， letting species decline and go extinct looks like a bad move.A 2010 study concluded that unchecked species loss would wipe 18% off global economic output by 2050.
　　You may perhaps be feeling that all this talk of economics and growth is strange.It’s all rather cold and heartless， without any of the love for the natural world that we were talking about earlier.Well， many environmentalists feel the same way.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。生态系统和生物多样性对人类究竟有多重要？本文从经济效益的角度对此进行了说明。

A.Artificial things are similar to natural ones.
B.Artificial things can hardly be the same as natural ones.
C.We have a long way to go to develop artificial things.
D.We can hardly distinguish artificial things from natural ones.
解析：B　细节理解题。根据第三段可知，作者首先指出：我们可以人工合成糖和脂肪，但很难使其味道可口；接下来又说直到2015年人们还没有人工合成出令人满意的汉堡。由此可知，作者提到人工汉堡，主要是说明人工合成食物跟真实天然的食物还有差距。
34.What’s the main problem with doing many things artificially？（　　）
A.Its high costs.　　B.Its negative effects.
C.Its being difficult.　　D.Its being impossible.
解析：C　细节理解题。根据第四段可知，作者认为，虽然人工合成食物在理论上是可能的，但问题在于让食物在大自然天然生长要容易得多。
35.What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage？（　　）
A.To prove the value of biodiversity.
B.To stress the importance of the environment.
C.To tell us how the ecosystem works.
D.To teach us how to protect the ecosystem.
解析：A　写作目的题。综合全文可知，作者主要论述了生态系统的重要性，尤其是生物多样性的价值。

　　阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to Start the New Year Right
　　We’re about to start a new year， so why not start it off right by developing a few new healthy habits？ Check out the ideas below and try the ones that sound right for you.
　　36.（　　） Just as a healthy diet is necessary and important for good health， so is sleep.Cutting back on snooze-time can lead to an out-of-control appetite， a greater risk for some diseases.So try to get the recommended eight hours of sleep needed for good health and perfect performance.
　　Eat mindfully.One of the most significant differences between people who successfully manage their weight and people who constantly struggle is mindful eating.Turn off the TV or computer， sit down at a table with your food on a plate， and focus on eating.37.（　　） Put your fork down between bites， and take time to really enjoy your meal.
　　Volunteer.In addition to helping others， volunteers themselves often benefit from “giving back” to the communities in which they live and work.38.（　　） As a volunteer， you gain valuable experience， learn new skills， make friends and meet others who share the same interests.
　　39.（　　） Research has shown that people who have family and friends they can turn to for support and companionship may be healthier and less likely to experience depression than those who spend most of their time alone.
　　Take a time out.40.（　　） Inhale （吸气） through your nose， and exhale （呼气） through your mouth.Deep， focused breathing slows your heart rate， calms the body and， as a result， calms your mind and reduces stress.
A.Follow a healthy diet.
B.Get your full eight hours of sleep.
C.Enjoy the smell and enjoy the taste.
D.Try to finish your work by yourself.
E.Maintain strong family and social networks.
F.At least once a day， close your eyes and focus on taking 10 deep breaths.
G.They also enjoy a rewarding sense of doing something good for someone else.

　　阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
　　We’ve all heard the saying “Laughter is the best medicine”.And there might be something in this idiom： numerous studies have shown that people who describe themselves 56.　　 happy tend to have fewer health problems， a 57.　　 （low） risk of depression， and longer lives.

　　There is a possible evolutionary 62.　　 （explain） here.Humans evolved as social creatures that cooperate in groups 63.　　 （obtain） food and protect themselves from wild animals.We were happier with a close network of friends and family 64.　　 this improved our survival chances.
　　It turns out that most people can increase their happiness.Research suggests that， on average， 50% of people’s general level of happiness 65.　　 （determine） by genetics.However， 40% is under people’s control， and the remaining 10% depends on the circumstances.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。我们常说“笑是良药”，快乐真的可以让我们更健康吗？
56.as　describe ...as ...是固定搭配，表示“将……描述为……”。
57.lower　根据上下文中出现的fewer和longer可知，这里应用low的比较级形式。
58.who/that　本空前面的Those为先行词，这里用关系代词who或that引导限制性定语从句。
59.affects　本句所陈述的“你的情绪会影响对抗疾病的基因的激活”是一个客观事实，因此用一般现在时。
60.or　这里的两个分句（does happiness cause good health和is it the other way around）是并列关系，故填or。
61.chemicals　此处chemical为可数名词，根据语境应用其复数形式。
62.explanation　本空前的a possible evolutionary提示这里应用名词形式。
63.to obtain　这里表示人们以群体形式合作的目的是获得食物且保护自己不受其他野生动物伤害，因此用动词不定式作目的状语。
64.because　本句前面的We were happier with a close network of friends and family为结果，后面的this improved our survival chances为原因，因此这里用从属连词because引导一个原因状语从句。
65.is determined　本句表示人们的总体幸福水平的50%是由基因决定的，这是一个客观事实，且表示被动概念，因此用一般现在时的被动语态。

　　The friends I’d had for many years claimed I’d changed and wouldn’t hang out with me anymore.Then a funny thing happened.One of the “cool” kids started inviting me to hang out.Her name was Dina， and she invited me to parties and over to her house.Dina may have seen that I needed a friend.Or maybe she just thought I was nice.Either way， when kids teased me about being ugly， she told me they were crazy.
　　Middle school graduation was approaching and I couldn’t wait.I knew there was a chance that high school might be as horrible as middle school， but maybe it would get me away from all the bad memories of middle school.
　　Unexpectedly， the day we were taking graduation pictures turned out to be a life-changing moment for me.I came to school like I always did， and I was definitely not wearing make-up， although many of the girls were.Make-up was forbidden at my house until I reached high school， and I didn’t think much of it — that was who I was.That was who I thought I would always be.
　　I was getting ready for the photographer when Dina grabbed me.She laughed and said，“Not like that， you’re not！” dragging me into the girl’s bathroom.Dina and her friends pulled out some supplies and started giving me a makeover （装扮）.They changed my hair， put make-up on me， and took away my oversized glasses.
　　I couldn’t see how I looked， but they said I looked great and I was just hoping it wasn’t all a big joke.I let them lead me to where I had to stand for the pictures， hoping the photographer would tell me if I looked like a clown or something.The flash went off and Dina gave me back my glasses.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

参考范文：
　　When I got home that day， my mother was pretty upset about the make-up.She yelled at me for a while and told me that I didn’t look like myself.She was so angry that she said something unpleasant.“Have you forgotten that make-up is forbidden at our house？ Remove it and wash your face at once！” said my mother.However， I didn’t care about what she said.I didn’t want to look like my old self.I didn’t want to be my old self.
　　A few weeks later， the pictures came back from the photographer.They did look great， and I looked like a new， happier person.I was surprised to see that I looked pretty and felt glad that I could now look back on middle school with one really good memory.I will always be grateful to Dina for what she did for me.She helped to bring me out of my shell and discover a better version of myself.

（Text 1）
M：Hey， Sarah！ This year I’m going to the rock festival for all three days！
W：Oh， lucky you， Leo！ Are you going with your cousin again？
M：Not this year.My brother has promised to take me there now.My sister’s too busy with her college work.
W：How will you get there？
M：We wanted to drive， but Dad said no.And it’s too far from the city for us to cycle there， but there are special buses so we’ll take those.
W：What do you have to take with you？
M：Just a tent and clothes， really.We’ll need lots of water， but we’ll buy that and all our meals there.Hey！ Come with us！
W：Maybe I will！
（Text 2）
M：Hey， Jenny， the Summer Festival is happening in the park.Don’t you know about it？
W：No.Is it a music festival？
M：Well， in fact， it’s a festival of food and art.
W：Oh， that sounds interesting.When does it begin？
M：On Friday.Last year it finished on Saturday， but this year the festival will run for three days， not two.
W：Great！ I’d like to go.Is it open all day？
M：The gates open at eleven in the morning， and they stay open until midnight.
W：I don’t think I’ll stay that long.But I might go in the afternoon at about three o’clock and stay there until seven o’clock.
M：Well， please don’t come by car.The city center will be very busy.Take the bus.The No.15 goes to the park every 15 minutes.
W：Thanks a lot for reminding.
（Text 3）
W：The festival is great， isn’t it？
M：Yes.I have never seen such a good art festival before.
W：But I have a question — why is the festival only held in winter rather than in other seasons？ I prefer it is held in summer.
M：Summer？ It’s not a good idea.
W：Why not？
M：As there are many travelers in summer， if there is an art festival， the town will be crowded.But in winter， there aren’t enough travelers.For the town’s development， the government organises the festival.
W：It sounds more reasonable.
（Text 4）
W：Attention， please！ Now I will give you a brief introduction to the Winter Festival.It is a free event for all people to enjoy， and is organised by a team of volunteers.The first Winter Festival was introduced the year before last.Sadly due to a lack of money， no festival was held last year.This year the government may provide 15，000 to the festival.They also persuaded the businessmen around the town to offer the rest 5，000.
There will be a free art exhibition on Friday 18， Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 December in the Center Park of the town.The opening hours are from 10：00 a.m.to 4：00 p.m.， and there is an opening night only on Friday， from 7：30 p.m.to 10：00 p.m.Different from other exhibitions， this art exhibition is really a special one because the public will have the chance to watch the paintings which are from the town’s school.And all the paintings are created by the students.
It is great that the Festival is going to host a wonderful sound of music in the Main Exhibition Hall this year.This program aims to show some of the musical talents that we have in town.Everyone watching the performance had better not wear formal clothes， but fancy dress.And in the program， you will hear classical music， pop music， rock music and operas.

　　（2024·南京高一下质检）Dongfang Shuo was a famous minister （大臣） in the Han Dynasty.
One day， Dongfang entered the Imperial Garden and found a maid with tears streaming down her face and intending to jump into the well.He hurried up to stop her and asked what happened.It turned out that the maid， named Yuanxiao， hadn’t been able to see her parents since she entered the royal palace.
　　After hearing about her experience， Dongfang assured her that he would figure out a way for her to meet her family.He set up a fortune-telling service outside the palace where he began telling people who came to him that there would be a disastrous fire on the 15th day of the first lunar month.
　　News spread quickly.People in Chang’an city were in a panic and asked for a solution.Dongfang told them that on the 13th day of the first lunar month， the God of Fire would send a fairy in a red dress and people should ask her for mercy.Dongfang also suggested letting every house in the city put up red lanterns and set off firecrackers to pretend that the city was on fire.
　　The emperor was worried and asked Dongfang for advice.Dongfang said，“I heard that the God of Fire loves glutinous rice balls.Don’t you have a maid called Yuanxiao who is good at it？Let her make glutinous rice balls to worship the God of Fire， and on the same day， the whole city can make the glutinous rice balls to pay respect.”
　　On the 15th day of the first lunar month， Chang’an city was crowded with people holding lanterns， and Yuanxiao’s parents were able to meet up with her in the crowds.
　　The emperor was overjoyed and ordered that on the 15th day of the first lunar month every year， people should make glutinous rice balls and hang up lanterns to worship the God of Fire.Because Yuanxiao was so good at it， people started to name the food after her， and from then on the day has been called the Lantern Festival or Yuan Xiao Jie.

　　（2024·重庆高一下月考）The 15th day of the eighth lunar month is the Mid-Autumn Festival.The festival celebrations date back more than 2，000 years.The word Mid-Autumn first appeared in the famous ancient book Zhou Li.It became an established festival during the Song Dynasty， and has become as popular as the Spring Festival since the Ming and Qing dynasties.
　　It takes its name from the fact that it is always celebrated in the middle of the autumn season.The day is also known as the Moon Festival， as at that time of the year the moon is at its roundest and brightest.
　　This yearning for the moon among Chinese people can be traced back to a fairytale：“Chang’e Flies to the Moon.” What is the story about？
　　Chang’e is the Chinese goddess of the moon.According to the Chinese mythology， Chang’e’s husband Hou Yi， a brave archer （弓箭手）， was able to shoot down nine suns and saved the planet.As a reward he was given an elixir of immortality （长生不老药）， but Hou Yi asked Chang’e to put it away.
　　After the archer’s epic deeds， he gained instant fame and a large number of people flocked to his home to learn his archery skills.However， an immoral man named Peng Meng was among the people， but only wanted the elixir.
　　One day when Hou Yi was out， the cunning Peng sneaked into the couple’s room to steal the elixir but Chang’e caught him.Peng tried to force Chang’e to hand over the elixir but she swallowed it and started to floated up to the sky， all the way to the moon.Legend has it that she chose to stay on the moon， the closest planet to the Earth， so that she could stay nearer to her husband.
　　Hou Yi was heartbroken by her departure.He immediately set up a table in his garden and laid out Chang’e’s favourite foods to pay tribute （悼念） to her.From then on， people began to worship the moon.

　　（2024·南昌高一下期末）Every year in November， people look for bargains on Black Friday.But do you know that the same day is also Buy Nothing Day？
　　Black Friday is the day after the American holiday of Thanksgiving， which is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November.9.（　　） Over the last 20 years， big retailers have started to offer discounts and bargains on this day， and it has become more and more popular.Last year， people in the USA spent an estimated $54.7 billion between Black Friday and Cyber Monday （the Monday after Thanksgiving， when people often buy more online）.10.（　　） For example， in 2017， people in the UK spent the equivalent of $10.3 billion， in Germany $7.6 billion and in France $6.2 billion.
　　Many of us love to get a bargain， but some feel that events like Black Friday encourage people to buy things that they don’t really need and can’t afford.11.（　　） It is easy to find video online of customers physically fighting each other over bargains.
　　12.（　　） Since 1997， Buy Nothing Day has been held on the same day as Black Friday.The rules are simple.Just don’t buy anything at all for 24 hours.13.（　　） The aim is to make people think more about their spending and to make better decisions about what they buy and where they buy it from.
A.It’s wise to buy nothing on this day.
B.Each country has its own shopping festival.
C.Many people are surprised how difficult this actually is.
D.The idea of Black Friday has also spread around the world.
E.Many people seem to completely lose control of their spending.
F.Instead of buying as much as possible on Black Friday， you could do the opposite.
G.It has long been a popular day for consumers to start shopping for Christmas in America.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。黑色星期五在美国非常流行，可是在同一天，西方人还庆祝另一个与其完全相反的节日——Buy Nothing Day。
9.G　上句介绍了黑色星期五，主要提及时间，下文应该对其进一步介绍，故G项符合语境。
10.D　下文举例说明黑色星期五在英国、德国及法国的流行，这正好与D项中的spread around the world相呼应，故D项符合语境。
11.E　上文指出人们喜欢特价商品，下文提及人们对特价商品的争抢，故E项承上启下，符合语境。
12.F　下文开始介绍Buy Nothing Day，这是与Black Friday完全相反的节日，故F项承上启下，符合语境。
13.C　上文介绍了庆祝Buy Nothing Day的方式就是在当天24小时内不购买任何东西，这对很多人来说自然是很难的。故C项符合语境。

THE MILLION POUND BANK NOTE
　　ACT 2， SCENE 1
Narrator：Henry is walking along the street holding the bank note in his hand.His coat is worn in several places.He sees a sign for a tailor’s shop.
Henry：（entering the shop） I’d like to have a suit coat.
1st Clerk：（in a rude manner） See him there.（pointing to another clerk）
2nd Clerk：Ready-made suits？ Downstairs.
Henry：（after going down some stairs） Can you show me a suit， please？
3rd Clerk：Yes， I can， sir.This way， please.Ah， here we are， the very thing you need.
1st Clerk：（pulling the 3rd clerk aside and whispering） Mr Reid says you’d better serve him quick and get him out quick！
3rd Clerk：I know what I’m doing.I’ve got eyes， haven’t I？
Henry：It’s a little too bright， isn’t it？
3rd Clerk：（looking at him with a frown） It’s all we have in your size.
Henry：Well， I suppose it ought to do for now.I’ll take it.
3rd Clerk：Good.Shall I put it in a box？
Henry：No.I’ll wear it.Oh， I’d rather not pay you now.I’d like to pay in a month.You see， I don’t have any small change.
3rd Clerk：（trying not to show he’s angry） I suppose a gentleman like you only carries very large bills.
Henry：Now， you shouldn’t judge people by their clothes.I just don’t want to cause you trouble with a large note.
3rd Clerk：It’s no trouble at all.
Henry：In that case， there’s no problem.（He gives the clerk the bank note.The clerk drops Henry’s coat.Then he folds the bill and slowly unfolds it again， as if looking at something he can’t believe is there.）
Owner：Well， what seems to be the trouble？
Henry：I’m just waiting for my change.
Owner：Give him his change， Todd.Get going ...（after getting the bank note from Todd） Would it ...could it be the one I saw in the papers last week？ I remember thinking that never would I hold such a note as this ...（to Henry） Oh， take off this coat， sir.（to Todd） Go get the others， Todd！ （to Henry again） Allow me， sir！ This way， sir.
（in another part of the shop， where there is a wide range of options for Henry to choose from）
Henry：This is nice， but I really don’t need it.
Owner：Never mind.（with a broad smile） Oh， it’s perfect！ It was made for some king but he’ll just have to wait.You’ll need many suits for many occasions.Yes， indeed you will.
Henry：Wait a minute.I only came here to get a suit coat to wear today.I dare not buy all these things.You would have to wait a long time to get paid.
Owner：A long time， sir？ Why， you don’t have to worry about that！
3rd Clerk：Yes， we can wait forever！
Henry：Well， all right.I’ll take the suit coat for now and get the others later.
Owner：Fine， fine.Your address， sir？
Henry：I don’t have one.Er ...I’m moving.
Owner：Of course you are！ That’s very normal！ A busy man， I’m sure.
Step 2　析写作手法
学语言：
1.高级表达词汇：
（1）剧本中worn、 rude、 pointing、 pulling、 whispering、 quick、 frown、 angry等词语生动形象地刻画了店员对穿着破旧的亨利那种鄙视无礼的态度。
（2）表情词的变化：剧本中店主所说的Never mind.（with a broad smile）中broad一词形象生动地表达了店主满脸微笑、见钱眼开的态度。
（3）剧本中Henry的台词This is nice， but I really don’t need it.中运用了really这一副词，准确地刻画出流落伦敦街头的Henry的诚实和清醒的自我意识。
2.高级表达句式：
（1）Narrator的台词中holding the bank note in his hand为动词-ing短语作伴随状语，很好地描写了亨利对the bank note视若珍宝。
（2）第三个店员的台词中I’ve got eyes， haven’t I？运用了附加疑问句，很自然地描写了他自信而又有把握接待像亨利这样的顾客的心理。
（3）描写店员看到百万英镑钞票时的表情动作变化：The clerk drops Henry’s coat.Then he folds the bill and slowly unfolds it again， as if looking at something he can’t believe is there.，此句中用drops来描写店员由于吃惊而产生的动作；slowly描写他对待大额钞票小心翼翼的动作；用as if 这样一个比拟来表达他内心的惊奇。

百万英镑
　　第二幕　第一场
旁白：亨利走在街上，手里捏着钞票。他的外套上有几处破了。他看到一家裁缝店的招牌。
亨利：（走进店里）我想买件西服外套。
店员一：（态度粗鲁）你找那个人。（指着另一个店员）
店员二：成衣吗？在楼下。
亨利：（走下几个台阶后）请给我看下西装，好吗？
店员三：可以，先生。这边请。啊，给你，你要的西服。
店员一：（把店员三拉到一边，窃窃私语）里德先生说让你最好快点把他打发走！
店员三：我知道自己在干什么。我又不瞎，对吧？
亨利：颜色太艳了点，是不是？
店员三：（看着他，皱了皱眉头）符合你尺码的就只有这件了。
亨利：好吧，我觉得暂时还凑合。就要这件了。
店员三：好的。要装进盒子里吗？
亨利：不用，我要穿上。哦，我现在付不了钱。我一个月后付款。你看，我身上一点零钱都没有。
店员三：（竭力压抑着怒火）我猜像你这样的绅士身上只带着大额钞票。
亨利：你不应该以貌取人。我只是不想拿大钞来麻烦你们。
店员三：一点都不麻烦。
亨利：如果是这样的话，那就没问题了。（他把钞票递给店员。店员把手中亨利的上衣掉到了地上。接着，他把钞票对折起来，然后又慢慢摊开，好像在看一个他不相信存在的东西。）
店主：哦，出了什么问题？
亨利：我在等找钱。
店主：托德，找给他。赶快……（从托德手中接过钞票后）这……这会是我上周在报纸上见到过的钞票吗？我记得当时我还在想，我这一辈子都不可能摸到这样一张钞票……（转向亨利）哦，快点把这件上衣脱了，先生。（转向托德）去拿点别的衣服来，托德！（再转向亨利）有请，先生！这边走，先生。
（在店的另一侧，那里挂满了各种款式的衣服，供亨利挑选）
亨利：很不错，但我真的不需要。
店主：不必客气。（笑容可掬）哦，太完美了！这件是为某位国王定制的，看来他得再等一段时间了。您需要很多衣服，各种场合的都要有。真的，您需要的。
亨利：等一等。我到店里来，只是想买一件今天穿的西装外套。我可不敢把这些全买下来。你得等很久才能拿到钱。
店主：很久，先生？哎呀，您不必担心这个！

　　（2024·重庆高一下月考）A recent survey of wealthy investors by global financial services firm UBS found 70% of rich people don’t consider themselves wealthy and happy.However， people living in poverty are already accustomed to finding ways to improve their life satisfaction and wellbeing， which go beyond money and material possessions.
　　“Rich people， just as the less well-off， make upwards comparisons， rating their incomes， homes， investments or possessions against those of even richer friends and colleagues， rather than the rest of the population，” Jolanda Jetten explains， who is a professor in social psychology at the University of Queensland in Australia.
　　“In developing nations， while much smaller amounts of money can make a huge difference to a person’s lifestyle — helping them move beyond very basic needs — those who don’t have much can also be much less frightened of what they’ve got to lose，” she adds.
　　Krishna Prasad Timilsina， a mountain tour guide in Nepal， says he noted high levels of tenacity （坚韧） in the worst earthquake in his country’s history in 2015.It cost 8，000 lives and left thousands more homeless.Yet by making downwards comparisons， many residents were able to count their blessings.
　　“In the earthquake a lot of things got destroyed but people were still happy because if they had not lost their family ...it could have been a lot worse，” says the 36-year-old.
　　In fact， while Nepal’s main industry， tourism， suffered a lot after the tragedy， the country climbed eight spots to be ranked 99 out of 155 nations on the World Happiness Index in 2017， ahead of South Africa， Egypt and even neighbouring India， one of the world’s fastest-growing economies.
　　However， Timilsina doesn’t believe his homeland is completely immune （免疫的） to the kind of upwards comparisons that appear to be stressing out the rest of us.
　　“In the city， more educated people are more worried about life.My parents have no money but they are happier than me，” he laughs.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。一项研究发现，很多在我们眼里的有钱人并不觉得自己富有和幸福，而那些物质条件平平者却更容易从生活中获得满足感。
5.The result of the recent survey by UBS can be described as 　　.（　　）
A.satisfying　　　　　B.confusing
C.interesting　　 D.disappointing
解析：B　推理判断题。根据第一段可知，这项研究发现，70%的有钱人并不觉得自己富有和幸福，而那些生活贫困者却更容易获得满足感和幸福感。由于这一发现是有悖常理的，因此最近的调查结果可以用令人困惑的来描述。
6.Which proverb can best express Jolanda Jetten’s idea in Paragraph 2？（　　）
A.Comparison is the thief of joy.
B.He who laughs last laughs best.
C.Things can always become better.
D.Aim for the moon， and you may hit a star.
解析：A　推理判断题。根据第二段可知，Jolanda Jetten认为，那些富人之所以感觉不幸福，主要是因为他们喜欢攀比，并且是跟比自己更有钱、更成功的人去比。
7.What made people in Nepal count their blessings after the earthquake？（　　）
A.Forgetting about the disaster.
B.Thinking of something worse.
C.Expecting something wonderful.
D.Remembering the good old days.
解析：B　细节理解题。根据第四、五段可知，Krishna Prasad Timilsina认为，在尼泊尔地震后，当地居民之所以能珍惜自己拥有的幸福，是因为他们习惯于“比下”，也就是跟不如自己的人去比。同时，他们会庆幸比这更糟的情况没有发生。
8.What can we learn about Nepal in 2017？（　　）
A.A great earthquake broke out.
B.Its tourism turned on a new look.
C.Its people fell into the deepest sorrow.
D.The level of its people’s happiness rose.
解析：D　细节理解题。根据倒数第三段可知，2015年的大地震后，虽然尼泊尔的支柱产业旅游业受到重创，但2017年尼泊尔国民的幸福指数却上升了8位，在世界155个国家中排名第99。

　　In a small Chinese village， a young girl named Mei lived with a deep love for painting.Her artworks， filled with lively colours， caught the beauty of her surroundings.Despite her talent， Mei often battled with self-doubt.She wondered if her skills were truly excellent or if she was just fortunate.
　　One day， Mei heard about a painting contest in the town called the “Sunlit Art Challenge”.Determined to prove herself and remove the doubts， Mei quickly signed up for it.The contest stirred a mix of excitement and nervousness in her.Mei spent countless hours perfecting her painting technique， pouring her heart and soul into her works.
　　For the contest， Mei painted a beautiful sunrise over the sea.The sun just started to rise above the horizon （地平线）， its bright light beginning to shine over the ocean.The sun’s rays looked like golden light， spreading across the water and making it shine like a giant mirror.As the sun rose higher， it looked like a bright ball of fire， warming the sea and making the waves shine brightly.The sky changed colours too， from a soft blue to bright oranges， pinks and reds.It was like watching the day begin right there on her canvas （画布）.Mei’s painting captured the peaceful yet lively scene of the sun’s first rays touching the vast ocean， symbolizing hope.
　　On the day of the contest， the village square was filled with excitement.Artists from near and far displayed their works.Mei set up her painting， feeling both proud and anxious.As the judges judged Mei’s painting， her heart raced with nervousness.Since their expressions were hard to read， Mei felt like her doubts were right that she wasn’t as good as she hoped.
　　When the host started to announce the winners， Mei listened with hope and curiosity.But sadly her name wasn’t called.Disappointment washed over her， and she forced a smile， applauding the winners.After the contest， Mei felt disheartened.She thought her painting had failed to impress anyone， and she lost her motivation to lift her brush.At that time， Mr Zhang， a villager， approached Mei.

　　Mr Zhang’s recognition of Mei’s works renewed Mei’s interest in painting.She started to see her art not just as a means to achieve personal recognition， but as a tool for healing and bringing joy to others.Mei began to paint with a new purpose， creating artworks that depicted scenes of hope and beauty.Her art soon became a source of warmth and inspiration in her community.Through her journey， Mei discovered the true essence of her art.It was not just about creating beautiful scenes on canvas， but about touching hearts and warming souls.

　　（2024·浙江四校高一下联考）I don’t remember exactly what grade I was in when it happened.All I remember is that suddenly maths was no longer fun.Since the first grade I had always loved maths.I got 100 percent on almost every paper I did.All at once， we were doing something called multiplication （乘法） and I was no good at it.I struggled on my first few worksheets until the teacher gave us each a card.On it were written the multiplication tables.I stared at them and smiled.Here were all the answers I needed.I read them over and over until they became stuck in my head.On our next test I did great again.
　　I also began to notice how multiplication flowed through God’s creation.I saw how a tiny handful of seeds could produce a garden full of food.I saw how having two rabbits could soon give you twenty.I saw how tossing a little stone into a pond could produce ripples that seemed to go on forever.I also saw how a few caring words could heal a hurting heart.And I saw how a single act of loving-kindness could travel from person to person， heart to heart， and soul to soul until it circled the world.
　　The truth is that we are all multipliers （乘数） in this life.The only question is： what are we going to multiply？Are we going to multiply the fear， anger， and distrust that exist in this world？Or are we going to multiply the love， kindness， and forgiveness？I choose the latter and I hope you will do the same.

34.with　lose touch with sb 表示“与某人失去联系”。故填with。
35.welcomes　根据并列连词and前的时态可知，应用一般现在时；主语The real world为单数，所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填welcomes。
36.to feel　名词chance后接动词不定式作定语。故填to feel。
37.an　空后名词event为单数，且event前面的形容词exciting的发音以元音音素开头。故填an。
