My husband made a little two-story house that mirrored our own in color and design for our Little Free Library, while I carefully selected books from our shelves. The idea resonated (引起共鸣) with us immediately — instead of loading boxes into the car for yet another used book sale, we could simply walk them to the roadside.
Fifteen or so years later, it’s safe to say that thousands of books, as well as the occasional DVDs, CDs and jigsaw puzzles have been shared through our little library. Situated on a busy street just a few blocks from a subway station, our little library sees dozens, perhaps hundreds, of passers-by each day.
Many of those who use our library do not hesitate to share their love of this neighborhood resource. One gentleman regularly stops by to pick up books for a nearby retirement home. At other times, we have received cards and gifts, including chocolates and even a personalized drawing from a local artist.
Like the people who use our library, the books that come and go reflect the broad diversity of our city. Arabic, French and Russian books are staples among the dominant English-language books. I’ve even collected favorite books of mine in languages I don’t understand, simply for the joy of adding another edition to my collection. Surprisingly, our library hasn’t dealt with our book storage problem —if anything, we now have more books than ever before.
I have heard some complaints that Little Free Libraries do not always serve the purpose of building community and may compete with our public libraries and independent bookstores. This has not been our experience. We continue to buy more books than we need and we are fiercely loyal users of the public system. Our Little Free Library has enhanced our love of reading and has connected us to a community of book lovers in the heart of our busy neighborhood.
4. Why did the author and her husband create the Little Free Library?
A. To make friends with book lovers. B. To deal with their unwanted books.
C. To prepare for used book sales. D. To make use of community resources.
5. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The multiple resources of the library.
B. People’s contributions to the library.
C. The friendships between library users.
D. The author’s impression of her neighborhood.
6. Which of the following can account for the author’s passion for the library?
A. Its superiority to public libraries.
B. Its close distance to a busy street.
C. Its success in solving book storage.
D. Its reflecting city diversity through books.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Cozy Reading Corner: Promoting Reading
B. The Whispering Pages: Tales from a Shared Library
C. The Little Free Library: Contributing to Tighter Bonds
D. The Magic Bookshelf: Account of Neighborhood Harmony
C
Fingerprints have been used to identify individuals for centuries. But now scientists may have finally figured out how those patterns are formed, according to a paper published in the journal Cell in February.
Previous studies have shown that fingerprints can be influenced by the shape and size of the blood vessels in the skin and how fast the different layers of skin grow. Denis Headon at the University of Edinburgh, UK, and his colleagues started their study from a new viewpoint: how genes affect fingerprint patterns. They identified the genes related to limb (肢体) development, which could serve as the groundwork for print formation, according to their work published in 2022.
However, many genes are not involved in the process. “The key is how they form,” Headon told Nature, a science journal. The team studied the ridges (脊) on mouse toes and human cells grown artificially.
They found two kinds of elements work against each other. A protein called WNT, which is important in skin development, promotes ridge formation. Another molecule (分子), called BMP, impedes the ridges. With the two elements “fighting” each other, they create the patterns of waves. The team also changed the timing and the location of the origins of the waves in experiments. They discovered that the waves would collide in different ways, which helps to create the diversity of print patterns.
Interestingly, the analysis of the fingerprint patterns supported the Turing reaction-diffusion system. It was first proposed by UK scientist Alan Turing in 1952 to describe a self-organizing system that creates patterns in nature, such as the feather patterns in birds and stripes on zebra. The researchers also built a computer model that can recreate print patterns by following the Turing system.
Based on the new study, it may be possible that the structures of human skin might be all generated by the same mechanism, Sarah Millar, a US biologist, told the website Science News. However, more studies on how the skin matures are needed to solve the mystery.
8. What did Denis Headon and his colleagues focus on in their study?
A. The relation between skin growth and fingerprint formation.
B. The influence of blood vessels on fingerprint patterns.
C. The impact of genes on fingerprint patterns.
D. The analysis of mouse toes’ ridges.
9. What approach did the researchers adopt to conduct the study?
A. They experimented with mouse toes and artificial human cells.
B. They compared mouse toes with human hands.
C. They did research on human hand anatomy.
D. They planted human cells in mouse toes.
10. What does the underlined word “impedes” in paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A. Supports. B. Stops. C. Generates. D. Influences.
11 What can be inferred about the study from the last paragraph?
A. It uncovers how the skin is generated. B. It promotes Alan Turing’s theory.
C. It may further research on skin maturation. D. It shows the mechanism of skin formation.
D
People have speculated (思索) for centuries about a future without work. Some imagine that the coming work-free world will be defined by inequality: A few wealthy people will own all the wealth, and the masses will struggle in a wasteland. A different prediction holds that without jobs to give their lives meaning, future people will simply become lazy and depressed.
But it doesn’t necessarily follow from these findings that a world without work would be filled with dissatisfaction. Such visions are based on the downsides of being unemployed in a society built on the concept of employment. In the absence of work, a society designed with other ends in mind could provide strikingly different circumstances for the future of labor and leisure.
These days, spare time is relatively rare for most workers. “When I come home from a hard day’s work, I often feel tired,” says John Danaher, a lecturer at the National University of Ireland, adding, “In a world in which I don’t have to work, I might feel rather different—perhaps different enough to throw myself into a hobby with the enthusiasm usually reserved for professional matters.”
Daniel Everett, an anthropologist (人类学家) at Bentley University studied a group of hunter-gatherers in the Amazon called the Piraha for years. According to Everett, while some might consider hunting and gathering as work, hunter-gatherers don’t. “They think of it as fun,” he says. “They don’t have a concept of work the way we do.”
Everett described a typical day for the Piraha: A man might get up, spend a few hours fishing, have a barbecue, and play until the evening. Does this relaxing life lead to the depression and purposelessness seen among so many of today’s unemployed? “I’ve never seen anything like depression there, except people who are physically ill,” Everett says. While many may consider work necessary for human life, work as it exists today is a relatively new invention in the course of human culture. “We don’t think it’s desirable to just sit around with nothing to do,” says Everett. “For the Piraha, it’s quite a pleasant state.”
12. What does the author think of a redesigned work-free society?
A. It may offer distinct leisure and labor situations.
B. It may widen the gap between rich and poor.
C. It will certainly lead to social dissatisfaction.
D. It will allow laborers enough leisure time.
13. Why are the hunter-gatherers mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To inspire us to learn from them.
B. To show a work-free life in the future.
C. To justify the previous views on work.
D. To show a different viewpoint on work.
14. What’s the author’s attitude towards the coming work-free world?
A. Objective. B. Optimistic. C. Negative. D. Concerned.
15. What can we conclude from the text?
A. Daniel Everett prefers to sit around doing nothing.
B. The work-free life makes the Piraha purposeless.
C. Physical sickness is seldom seen among the Piraha.
D. A work-free life may contribute to depression.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

Enjoyable and immersive hobbies have the power to make us happier and healthier. Hobbies lead to better physical health, more sleep, lower stress, greater life satisfaction, a larger social network and improved work performance. ____16____ We asked experts how to discover the hobbies you don’t yet know you’ll love.
Be open.
“Keeping an open mind and not dismissing potential hobbies even if they seem out of your wheel-house is key,” says Katina, a clinical psychology researcher. “We’re wired as humans to be curious and open, but in a very burned-out world, we forget that,” she says. “It’s the first thing to go.” So next time someone hands you a flier or invites you to an event, seize the opportunity. ____17____
____18____
When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? The answer could point you towards an appealing hobby. If you wanted to be a major league player, what can you do now that fulfills that urge for you? Joining a softball team or coaching some neighborhood kids could inspire a long-dormant passion.
Go back to school.
Consider auditing (旁听) a class at a university or signing up for a lesson to learn more about a potential hobby. ____19____ Join a fiction writers group. Fascinated by family history? Take a genealogy class. Plenty of e-courses are available free.
Take an assessment.
Lots of colleges offer career assessments to help students determine what to major in and how to guide their professional lives. ____20____ If you’re a college graduate, connect with your university’s alumni center; sometimes they make these assessments available for free. Or you can pay a career consultant for access.
A. Take a trip back in time.
B. But where do you start?

D. Always dreamed of writing a novel?
E. It could introduce you to something you never guessed you’d love.

Dear Chris,
I hope everything is going well with you. The other day, you ask me about the meaning of “living Lei Feng” and I am delighted to provide you an explanation.
The term “living Lei Feng” is used to describe someone who always help others selflessly, just like Lei Feng, a famous figure in China known for his selfless devotion to serve people. A case in point is Guo Mingyi, a worker at a steel company. He has been donating blood voluntarily since 1990 but has sponsored over 300 students. What he has done is putting the spirit of Lei Feng into the practice.
Your passion for learning Chinese is truly impressed. As you dig deeper into the language, we will uncover much of its fascinating idioms. I look forward to witnessing your progresses!
Warm regards,
Li Jin

My husband made a little two-story house that mirrored our own in color and design for our Little Free Library, while I carefully selected books from our shelves. The idea resonated (引起共鸣) with us immediately — instead of loading boxes into the car for yet another used book sale, we could simply walk them to the roadside.
Fifteen or so years later, it’s safe to say that thousands of books, as well as the occasional DVDs, CDs and jigsaw puzzles have been shared through our little library. Situated on a busy street just a few blocks from a subway station, our little library sees dozens, perhaps hundreds, of passers-by each day.
Many of those who use our library do not hesitate to share their love of this neighborhood resource. One gentleman regularly stops by to pick up books for a nearby retirement home. At other times, we have received cards and gifts, including chocolates and even a personalized drawing from a local artist.
Like the people who use our library, the books that come and go reflect the broad diversity of our city. Arabic, French and Russian books are staples among the dominant English-language books. I’ve even collected favorite books of mine in languages I don’t understand, simply for the joy of adding another edition to my collection. Surprisingly, our library hasn’t dealt with our book storage problem —if anything, we now have more books than ever before.
I have heard some complaints that Little Free Libraries do not always serve the purpose of building community and may compete with our public libraries and independent bookstores. This has not been our experience. We continue to buy more books than we need and we are fiercely loyal users of the public system. Our Little Free Library has enhanced our love of reading and has connected us to a community of book lovers in the heart of our busy neighborhood.
4. Why did the author and her husband create the Little Free Library?
A. To make friends with book lovers. B. To deal with their unwanted books.
C. To prepare for used book sales. D. To make use of community resources.
5. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The multiple resources of the library.
B. People’s contributions to the library.
C. The friendships between library users.
D. The author’s impression of her neighborhood.
6. Which of the following can account for the author’s passion for the library?
A. Its superiority to public libraries.
B. Its close distance to a busy street.
C. Its success in solving book storage.
D. Its reflecting city diversity through books.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Cozy Reading Corner: Promoting Reading
B. The Whispering Pages: Tales from a Shared Library
C. The Little Free Library: Contributing to Tighter Bonds
D. The Magic Bookshelf: Account of Neighborhood Harmony
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一对夫妇在家门口建立了一个小型免费图书馆,与社区书籍爱好者建立联系,分享阅读乐趣的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“The idea resonated with us immediately — instead of loading boxes into the car for yet another used book sale, we could simply walk them to the roadside.”(这个想法立刻引起了我们的共鸣——我们可以简单地走路把它们放到路边,而不是把箱子装进车里再卖一本二手书。)可知,作者建立 Little Free Library是为了更好地处理自己不再需要的书籍。故选B。
【5题详解】

【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Like the people who use our library, the books that come and go reflect the broad diversity of our city.”(就像使用我们图书馆的人一样,来来往往的书反映了我们城市的广泛多样性。)可知,作者之所以对这个图书馆抱有热情,是因为这个图书馆反映了城市的多元化。故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Our Little Free Library has enhanced our love of reading and has connected us to a community of book lovers in the heart of our busy neighborhood.”(我们免费小图书馆增强了我们对阅读的热爱,并将我们与繁忙社区中心的图书爱好者社区联系起来。)以及文章内容可知,文章主要讲述了一对夫妇在家门口建立了一个小型免费图书馆,与社区书籍爱好者建立联系,分享阅读乐趣的故事。由此可推知,C项“免费的小图书馆:促进更紧密的联系”最适合作文章标题。故选C。
C
Fingerprints have been used to identify individuals for centuries. But now scientists may have finally figured out how those patterns are formed, according to a paper published in the journal Cell in February.
Previous studies have shown that fingerprints can be influenced by the shape and size of the blood vessels in the skin and how fast the different layers of skin grow. Denis Headon at the University of Edinburgh, UK, and his colleagues started their study from a new viewpoint: how genes affect fingerprint patterns. They identified the genes related to limb (肢体) development, which could serve as the groundwork for print formation, according to their work published in 2022.
However, many genes are not involved in the process. “The key is how they form,” Headon told Nature, a science journal. The team studied the ridges (脊) on mouse toes and human cells grown artificially.
They found two kinds of elements work against each other. A protein called WNT, which is important in skin development, promotes ridge formation. Another molecule (分子), called BMP, impedes the ridges. With the two elements “fighting” each other, they create the patterns of waves. The team also changed the timing and the location of the origins of the waves in experiments. They discovered that the waves would collide in different ways, which helps to create the diversity of print patterns.
Interestingly, the analysis of the fingerprint patterns supported the Turing reaction-diffusion system. It was first proposed by UK scientist Alan Turing in 1952 to describe a self-organizing system that creates patterns in nature, such as the feather patterns in birds and stripes on zebra. The researchers also built a computer model that can recreate print patterns by following the Turing system.
Based on the new study, it may be possible that the structures of human skin might be all generated by the same mechanism, Sarah Millar, a US biologist, told the website Science News. However, more studies on how the skin matures are needed to solve the mystery.
8. What did Denis Headon and his colleagues focus on in their study?
A. The relation between skin growth and fingerprint formation.
B. The influence of blood vessels on fingerprint patterns.
C. The impact of genes on fingerprint patterns.
D. The analysis of mouse toes’ ridges.
9. What approach did the researchers adopt to conduct the study?
A. They experimented with mouse toes and artificial human cells.
B. They compared mouse toes with human hands.
C. They did research on human hand anatomy.
D. They planted human cells in mouse toes.
10. What does the underlined word “impedes” in paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A. Supports. B. Stops. C. Generates. D. Influences.
11. What can be inferred about the study from the last paragraph?
A. It uncovers how the skin is generated. B. It promotes Alan Turing’s theory.
C. It may further research on skin maturation. D. It shows the mechanism of skin formation.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家们从一个新的研究视角开展的一项研究——基因如何影响指纹模式及其对未来人类皮肤研究的启发。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Denis Headon at the University of Edinburgh, UK, and his colleagues started their study from a new viewpoint: how genes affect fingerprint patterns.(英国爱丁堡大学的丹尼斯·黑顿(Denis Headon)和他的同事们从一个新的视角开始了他们的研究:基因如何影响指纹模式。)”可知,丹尼斯·黑顿(Denis Headon)和他的同事们在研究中关注基因对指纹模式的影响。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The team studied the ridges (脊) on mouse toes and human cells grown artificially.(研究小组研究了老鼠脚趾上的脊和人工培育的人类细胞。)”可知,研究人员通过对老鼠脚趾和人工培育的人类细胞进行实验来进行研究。故选A。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段“A protein called WNT, which is important in skin development, promotes ridge formation(一种名为WNT的蛋白质在皮肤发育中起着重要作用,它促进了脊的形成)”可知,叫做 WNT 的蛋白质刺激脊的形成;再根据“With the two elements ‘fighting’ each other, they create the patterns of waves.( 当这两种元素相互“斗争”时,它们就形成了波纹的图案)”可知,WNT蛋白质促进脊线的形成,而另一种分子BMP则与WNT相对抗。由此可推断,impedes的意思应为“阻碍”或“阻止”。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, more studies on how the skin matures are needed to solve the mystery.(然而,要解开这个谜团,还需要更多关于皮肤如何成熟的研究。)”可以推断,这项研究可能会进一步推动对皮肤成熟过程的研究。故选C。
D
People have speculated (思索) for centuries about a future without work. Some imagine that the coming work-free world will be defined by inequality: A few wealthy people will own all the wealth, and the masses will struggle in a wasteland. A different prediction holds that without jobs to give their lives meaning, future people will simply become lazy and depressed.
But it doesn’t necessarily follow from these findings that a world without work would be filled with dissatisfaction. Such visions are based on the downsides of being unemployed in a society built on the concept of employment. In the absence of work, a society designed with other ends in mind could provide strikingly different circumstances for the future of labor and leisure.
These days, spare time is relatively rare for most workers. “When I come home from a hard day’s work, I often feel tired,” says John Danaher, a lecturer at the National University of Ireland, adding, “In a world in which I don’t have to work, I might feel rather different—perhaps different enough to throw myself into a hobby with the enthusiasm usually reserved for professional matters.”
Daniel Everett, an anthropologist (人类学家) at Bentley University studied a group of hunter-gatherers in the Amazon called the Piraha for years. According to Everett, while some might consider hunting and gathering as work, hunter-gatherers don’t. “They think of it as fun,” he says. “They don’t have a concept of work the way we do.”
Everett described a typical day for the Piraha: A man might get up, spend a few hours fishing, have a barbecue, and play until the evening. Does this relaxing life lead to the depression and purposelessness seen among so many of today’s unemployed? “I’ve never seen anything like depression there, except people who are physically ill,” Everett says. While many may consider work necessary for human life, work as it exists today is a relatively new invention in the course of human culture. “We don’t think it’s desirable to just sit around with nothing to do,” says Everett. “For the Piraha, it’s quite a pleasant state.”
12. What does the author think of a redesigned work-free society?
A. It may offer distinct leisure and labor situations.
B. It may widen the gap between rich and poor.
C. It will certainly lead to social dissatisfaction.
D. It will allow laborers enough leisure time.
13. Why are the hunter-gatherers mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To inspire us to learn from them.
B. To show a work-free life in the future.
C. To justify the previous views on work.
D. To show a different viewpoint on work.
14. What’s the author’s attitude towards the coming work-free world?
A. Objective. B. Optimistic. C. Negative. D. Concerned.
15. What can we conclude from the text?
A. Daniel Everett prefers to sit around doing nothing.
B. The work-free life makes the Piraha purposeless.
C. Physical sickness is seldom seen among the Piraha.
D. A work-free life may contribute to depression.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了人们对于没有工作的未来生活可能出现的态度。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In the absence of work, a society designed with other ends in mind could provide strikingly different circumstances for the future of labor and leisure.”(在没有工作的情况下,一个考虑到其他目标的社会可能会为未来的劳动和休闲提供截然不同的环境。)可知,一个重新设计的、没有工作的社会可能会提供与当前完全不同的劳动和休闲情境。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“According to Everett, while some might consider hunting and gathering as work, hunter-gatherers don’t. ‘They think of it as fun,’ he says. ‘They don’t have a concept of work the way we do.’”(根据埃弗雷特的说法,虽然有些人可能认为狩猎和采集是工作,但狩猎采集者并不这样认为。“他们认为这很有趣,”他说。“他们不像我们那样有工作的概念。”)可知,猎人采集者的生活方式为我们提供了一个不同于现代工作模式的视角,让我们重新审视工作的意义和价值。由此可推知,第四段提到了狩猎采集者是为了展示一种不同的工作观点。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,作者在文中既提到了work-free world的好处,即在第三段中“In a world in which I don’t have to work, I might feel rather different—perhaps different enough to throw myself into a hobby with the enthusiasm usually reserved for professional matters.””(“在一个我不必工作的世界里,我可能会感觉很不一样——也许这种不一样足以让我带着通常为专业事务保留的热情投入到一项爱好中去。”),也指出了它可能存在的问题,即在最后一段中“While many may consider work necessary for human life, work as it exists today is a relatively new invention in the course of human culture. “We don’t think it’s desirable to just sit around with nothing to do,” says Everett.”(虽然许多人可能认为工作是人类生活的必要条件,但今天存在的工作在人类文化进程中是一项相对较新的发明。埃弗雷特说:“我们认为无所事事是不可取的。”)。由此可推知,作者对work-free world持客观态度。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“A different prediction holds that without jobs to give their lives meaning, future people will simply become lazy and depressed.”(另一种预测认为,如果没有工作赋予生活意义,未来的人只会变得懒惰和沮丧。)可知,无工作可能使人们感到生活无意义和情绪低落。由此可推知,无工作的生活可能会导致抑郁。故选D。

【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:由于气温上升和安全问题,广受欢迎的哈尔滨冰雪大世界于周四晚上关闭。由副词修饰形容词可知,此处需用副词作状语修饰形容词popular。故填hugely。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:自2023年12月19日开放以来,这个冬季仙境吸引了来自全国和世界各地的创纪录游客,每天约有3万名游客来到公园,几乎是疫情前记录的两倍。此处为谓语动词的填入,根据时间状语Since opening on December 19, 2023可知,主句需用现在完成时态,且主语为单数,所以为动词三单形式。故填has drawn。
【43题详解】

考查非谓语动词。句意:看到孩子们冲到巨大的冰滑梯门口,焦急地问:“我们还有时间再玩一轮吗?”spot sb. doing sth.为固定搭配,意为“发现某人正在做某事”,此处为该固定搭配的被动用法,设空处填现在分词作主语补足语。故填rushing。
【46题详解】

Dear Chris,
I hope everything is going well with you. The other day, you ask me about the meaning of “living Lei Feng” and I am delighted to provide you an explanation.
The term “living Lei Feng” is used to describe someone who always help others selflessly, just like Lei Feng, a famous figure in China known for his selfless devotion to serve people. A case in point is Guo Mingyi, a worker at a steel company. He has been donating blood voluntarily since 1990 but has sponsored over 300 students. What he has done is putting the spirit of Lei Feng into the practice.
Your passion for learning Chinese is truly impressed. As you dig deeper into the language, we will uncover much of its fascinating idioms. I look forward to witnessing your progresses!
Warm regards,
Li Jin

2. you后加with
3. help → helps

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇书信。文章主要是写信者向对方解释“活雷锋”这一表达的含义,并对对方学习中文的热情表示赞赏。
【详解】1. 考查谓语动词。句意:前几天,你问我“活雷锋”这个表达的含义,我很高兴为你解释。这里为本句谓语动词,根据时间状语“the other day”可知,本句时态为一般过去时。故将ask改为asked。
2. 考查固定短语。句意:前几天,你问我“活雷锋”这个表达的含义,我很高兴为你解释。固定短语:provide…with…,意为“为……提供……”,符合句意。故在you后加with。
3. 考查谓语动词。句意:“活雷锋”这个词用来描述那些总是无私地帮助他人的人,就像雷锋一样,雷锋是中国一个著名的人物,以他无私地为人民服务而著称。这里为从句的谓语动词,根据上下文可知,从句时态为一般现在时;主语为“who”,即先行词“someone”,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故将help改为helps。
4. 考查非谓语动词。句意:“活雷锋”这个词用来描述那些总是无私地帮助他人的人,就像雷锋一样,雷锋是中国一个著名的人物,以他无私地为人民服务而著称。非谓语动词担当介词“to”后的宾语,用动名词形式。故将serve改为serving。
5. 考查连词。句意:自1990年以来,他一直自愿献血,并资助了300多名学生。“He has been donating blood voluntarily since 1990”和“has sponsored over 300 students.”之间没有转折关系,为并列关系。故将but改为and。
6. 考查固定搭配。句意:他所做的事情就是将雷锋精神付诸实践。固定短语:put…into practice,意为“将……付诸实施”,符合句意。故将the去掉。
7. 考查形容词。句意:你对学习中文的热情真的令人印象深刻。考查形容词的用法,impressed,意为“有印象的”,本句指的是“令人印象深刻”,用impressive。故将impressed改为impressive。
8. 考查代词。句意:当你更深入地学习这门语言时,你会发现更多有趣的成语。根据句意可知,主从句主语都是“you”。故将we改为you。
9. 考查比较级。句意:当你更深入地学习这门语言时,你会发现更多有趣的成语。根据常识可知,“越深入学习一门语言”,就会发现“更多”的成语。故将much改为more。
10. 考查名词的数。句意:我期待见证你的进步!名词progress为不可数名词。故将progresses改为progress。
