话题:介绍经验教育
ExperiencedBased Education
Everyone is familiar with traditional education. You sit in a class and a teacher teaches.This is an important part of development. But at some point, every individual has to take charge of their own education. To do this, one must look at the root of learning.__1__
Basically, unfamiliar experiences usually add more value than experiences that are familiar.
__2__ And we are in a better state to learn something new. Honestly, someone who never experiences the same thing twice will never have a chance to benefit from anything learned. However, new experiences are generally what make people interesting and push them to grow.
High school is a new experience. College is a new experience. However, at some point traditional education becomes repetitive. It is not that you won't learn anything else, but that the environment is so familiar.__3__
To solve this, an individual needs to introduce new experiences into their life. You may spend a summer in a different part of the country or learn a new language through trial and error. You can also go to a drivein movie (or some other entertainment event that is new to you).__4__
These types of experiences often result in very little“book knowledge”.Instead, they will often provide you with a better understanding of yourself as you experience your reaction to different situations.__5__ It can be invaluable for you to work effectively with others. Becoming a wellrounded human isn't something that happens by accident. You can spend your entire lifetime developing your potential.
A.Has education changed so much in the last decade?
B.They will also provide you with a better understanding of others.
C.Those new experiences may not lead to great personal development.
D.These are all things that can stretch and expand your experience in life.
E.This is because unfamiliar experiences require much more of our attention.
F.As a result, you can easily become less aware of your experience and not learn as much.
G.What makes some experiences add great
value to our lives while other experiences do not?
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。短文介绍了是什么让一些经历给我们的生活增加了巨大的价值,而另一些却没有。
1.G [由下文“Basically, unfamiliar experiences usually add more value than experiences that are familiar.”可知,基本上,不熟悉的经历通常比熟悉的经历更有价值。所以上文是对选项的回答,且选项统领全文。故G选项“是什么让一些经历为我们的生活增添了巨大的价值,而另一些却没有?”切题。]
2.E [由下文“And we are in a better state to learn something new.”可知,我们处在一个更好的状态,会学习一些新的东西。所以选项与后一句为并列关系,且在解释选项上一句的原因。故E选项“这是因为不熟悉的经历需要我们更多的注意力。”切题。]
3.F [由前文“It is not that you won't learn anything else, but that the environment is so familiar.”可知,这并不是说你不会学到别的东西,而是环境太熟悉了。所以选项与前句为因果关系。故F选项“因此,你很容易对自己的经验缺乏意识,也学不到很多东西。”切题。]
4.D [由前文“You may spend a summer in a different part of the country or learn a new language through trial and error. You can also go to a drivein movie(or some other entertainment event that is new to you).”可知,你可以在一个不同的地方度过一个夏天,或者通过反复试验来学习一门新的语言。你也可以看汽车电影(或其他娱乐事件这对你来说都是新的)。所以选项是对空前所叙述的三个例子的总结。故D选项“这些都可以扩展你的生活经验。”切题。]
5.B [由前文“Instead, they will often provide you with a better understanding of yourself as you experience your reaction to different situations.”可知,相反,它们会让你在体验不同情况下的反应时,更好地了解自己。所以选项与前文话题相关且为并列关系。故B选项“他们也会让你更好地理解别人。”切题。]

[语篇解读] 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了非物质文化遗产——苗族刺绣。
1.was held [考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:由中国驻米兰总领事馆和贵州省政府共同主办的“中国苗族艺术展”于周日在意大利米兰举行。动词hold与主语The “Chinese Miao Art Exhibition”之间是被动关系,结合“on Sunday”可知,该事件发生在过去,故用一般过去时的被动语态,主语表示单数意义。]
2.extremely [考查副词。句意:在2024年米兰春夏时装周上,贵州极其美丽的苗绣服装与国际时尚品牌一起亮相。此处填副词修饰后面的形容词beautiful。]
3.brands [考查名词复数。句意同上。brand“品牌”,可数名词,其前无限定词,应用名词复数形式,表示泛指,故填brands。]
4.which [考查定语从句。句意:清镇是少数民族聚居的典型地区,其人口主要为四印苗族,他们有着美丽的服饰和精致的刺绣。分析句子可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词Qingzhen指物,关系词在从句中作主语,故用关系代词which。]
5.of [考查介词。句意同上。compose of是固定搭配,意为“由……组成”。]
6.made [考查非谓语动词。句意:每件衣服上都有一个由五彩丝线织成的方形大印章图案,像四个印章合在一起,展现了少数民族的历史和神秘魅力。be made of“由……组成”,逻辑主语a big square sealshaped pattern与动词短语make of之间是逻辑上的被动关系,此处应用过去分词短语,作后置定语。]
7.mysterious [考查形容词。句意同上。空处应填形容词mysterious“神秘的”,作定语,修饰名词charm。]
8.a [考查冠词。句意:2014年,四印苗绣工艺被认定为省级代表性非物质文化遗产。根据下文的“provincial representative intangible cultural heritage”可知,此处泛指“一个省级代表性非物质文化遗产”,应用不定冠词,provincial以辅音音素开头,应用a。]
9.to showcase [考查非谓语动词。句意:通过国际化的策展方式,展示深厚的贵州民族文化,为国际文化交流和苗绣推广提供平台。固定搭配aim to do sth.“想要做某事”,动词不定式作宾语。]
10.promotion [考查名词。句意同上,连词and前是名词短语“international cultural exchange”,并且设空后是介词of,应用名词promotion。]
