Ways to save money at the cinema
There’s nothing quite like seeing a new film on the big screen! Here’s how to make a few savings at the cinema.
Get two tickets for the price of one
Buy an insurance (保险) policy from Compare the Market and you’ll get free access to Meerkat Movies, which offers two for the price of one on tickets every Tuesday or Wednesday. Fortunately, there’s a chance to get this for around £1. All you need to do is buy a single day UK travel insurance!
Get some free tickets
The Club Lloyds current account offers six free tickets to use at Odeon or Vue and you’ll get these within a month of opening the account. You’ll need to add £2,000 to the account to cancel out a £3 monthly charge, but that money doesn’t need to be in one go or stay there — you can draw it straight back out.
Buy special offer tickets
From time to time there are deals running that offer cut price tickets. Sites like Groupon often sell bundles (套票) for the likes of Odeon and Vue that work out around £4 or £5 each. Other deals include National Cinema Day (usually in September) when all tickets are £3.
1. Why are you advised to buy an insurance policy from Compare the Market?
A. To see new films for free. B. To travel UK for a single day.
C. To access Meerkat Movies regularly. D. To make a few savings at the cinema.
2. What is the advantage of adding £2,000 to the Club Lloyds account?
A. You can avoid a £3 monthly charge. B. You can get free tickets every month.
C. You can have more free cinema tickets. D. You can get tickets in a convenient way.

A. £3. B. £9. C. £12. D. £15.
B
A few years ago I took my sons for ice cream, and while my older son went inside to buy us our milk shakes, my younger son and I waited on the bench (长椅) outside.
At a certain point I realized that sitting right next to me were a little girl with a facial deformity (畸形), her friend (or sister), and her mother.
When my younger son looked up and saw her, he reacted exactly the way you might think a three-year old would react when seeing something that scared him: he started to cry—pretty loudly, too. I hurriedly tried to push him away in the stroller (婴儿推车), not for the benefit of him but to avoid hurting the girl’s feelings, and in my haste I caused my older son to knock over the shakes, and, well, it was a scene quite different from what I had hoped for. But as I pushed my younger son’s stroller away I heard the little girl’s mom say, in as sweet and calm a voice as you can imagine, “Okay, guys, I think it’s time to go.” And that just set me thinking.
For the rest of the day, I couldn’t stop thinking about how that scene had played out. It occurred to me that they probably went through something like that hundreds of times a day. What would that be like? What could I be teaching my children so they could understand how to respond better next time? What I should have done, instead of trying to avoid the situation, was involve the girl and her mother in conversation. If my son cried, so be it: kids cry. I should have set a better example for him, and shown him there was nothing to fear.
As I was thinking about the scene, the song Wonder by Natalie Merchant came on the radio that night, and something about the words to the song just got to me. That very night, I started writing Wonder, a story about a boy with a facial difference.
4. What made the younger son cry?
A. That his mother pushed him away. B. That his brother upset the milk shakes.
C. That he was unwilling to react to the girl. D. That he was scared by the girl’s appearance.
5. The underlined word “haste” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. hurry B. doubt C. sorrow D. turn
6. Why did the author keep thinking about the scene?
A. She regretted not behaving properly. B. She regretted not comforting her son.
C. She wanted to write a novel based on it. D. She wanted to clear up the misunderstanding.
7. What does the author want to express through the story?
A. Don’t judge a book by its cover. B. One good turn deserves another.
C. A kind gesture can reach a wound. D. Think twice before making a final decision.
C
Every day, we face a range of decisions, from picking a shirt for work to choosing a job. Some of these decisions have far-reaching consequences that may impact the rest of our lives. These choices can be difficult, and we aren’t often aware of the reasons behind why we make certain choices. A new study explores how we make decisions when it comes to short and long-term rewards (回报). It found that we were more impulsive (冲动) with decisions that may bring about an immediate reward than those that have longer-term consequences.
The study was conducted by Professor Pleger from Ruhr University Bochm. The team wanted to know how we make decisions about what to eat and how to make a profit. They asked subjects to choose between smaller immediate rewards and larger rewards that they had to wait for. The longer they waited, the bigger the reward. Brain activity was observed using functional MRI, which shows which parts of the brain are active during decision-making.
The brain observation revealed interesting differences when it came to each type of reward. When people made decisions about money, brain areas responsible for thinking about the future and self-control were more active. When deciding about food, the areas that are linked to immediate satisfaction were more involved. This means that our decision-making pattern depends on the type of reward that we are presented with.
By understanding how our brains respond to different types of rewards, we may develop better tools that control how we make those decisions that may have serious consequences in our lives. Professor Pleger believes that understanding these differences can lead to new treatments for impulsive behaviors and addictions. For example, Neurofeedback (神经反馈) can observe real-time brain activity to help individuals manage their brain functions, which can help them make particularly difficult decisions, specifically surrounding unhealthy or addictive choices.
8. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. The process of Pleger’s study. B. The causes of brain activity.
C. The theory of people’s choices. D. The methods of decision-making.
9. What do we know about the decision-making pattern according to the passage?
A. It is responsible for better self-control.
B. It is associated with different brain areas.
C. It has nothing to do with the type of reward.
D. It brings people more immediate satisfaction.
10. Why does the author mention the example in the last paragraph?
A. To confirm the assumption. B. To show the application of the study.
C. To compare the differences. D. To praise the effectiveness of the tools.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. How can we make reasonable decisions?
B. Are your decisions linked to self-control?
C. Are your decisions based on impulse or reason?
D. How can we apply our decision-making pattern?
D
A heated theme around AI in education is that students could use these generative tools to complete their homework. Educators are worried that students may not build essential skills if it becomes too easy to misrepresent machine-generated work as their own. In addition to concerns that such use may contribute to cheating, it’s also known that AI can provide misinformation that may mislead students. As a result, many schools have banned (禁止) generative AI completely. But is that reasonable?
The answer is no, says Sebastian Rao, a Virginia STEM school senior. Instead, he supports AI policies that make the technology accessible to students and educators but provide appropriate edges. “How do we structure a classroom that uses AI?” asks Rao. He says the focus should be to thoughtfully integrate (合并) AI technology in classrooms so that students can use it to enhance their education and build new skills.
When schools place strict bans on AI, students may be confused and unsure about what they can and can’t use. Many students use AI in ways educators didn’t consider, worsening the problem of managing their use in the classroom. Meanwhile, the technology is evolving quickly and becoming integrated into an ever-growing range of tools. Academic tools like Grammarly now use AI, as do search engines like Google and Bing. Khan Academy recently built a free AI-powered app, Khanmigo, to provide one-on-one homework help to students who may not otherwise have access to a live tutor (家庭教师). “A lot of students don’t really know what to think about a lot of these technologies. Some are confused about ‘What does AI mean? Is it cheating in certain cases?’” explains Rao.
Rather than viewing the use of AI as cheating, the U. S. Department of Education is integrating AI into policy because the technology allows educators to support students with a valuable, personalized approach to learning. Knowing how to use AI effectively and properly will be necessary for students’ future development.
12. Why do many schools ban AI completely?
A. AI may offer much information.
B. AI may cause students a lot of worry.
C. AI may destroy students’ essential skills.
D. AI may weaken students’ study performance.
13. What is Sebastian Rao’s opinion on AI in education?
A. Schools should refuse AI technology.
B. Educators should build their AI skills.
C. Schools should establish clear guidelines.
D. Educators should enhance their education.
14. What may the ban on AI at school result in?
A. Rapid evolution of AI. B. Students’ confusion about AI.
C. Popularity of a live tutor. D. Educators’ interest in technology.
15. What is the U.S. Department of Education’s attitude towards AI?
A. Unclear. B. Worried. C. Favorable. D. Negative.

A few years ago I took my sons for ice cream, and while my older son went inside to buy us our milk shakes, my younger son and I waited on the bench (长椅) outside.
At a certain point I realized that sitting right next to me were a little girl with a facial deformity (畸形), her friend (or sister), and her mother.
When my younger son looked up and saw her, he reacted exactly the way you might think a three-year old would react when seeing something that scared him: he started to cry—pretty loudly, too. I hurriedly tried to push him away in the stroller (婴儿推车), not for the benefit of him but to avoid hurting the girl’s feelings, and in my haste I caused my older son to knock over the shakes, and, well, it was a scene quite different from what I had hoped for. But as I pushed my younger son’s stroller away I heard the little girl’s mom say, in as sweet and calm a voice as you can imagine, “Okay, guys, I think it’s time to go.” And that just set me thinking.
For the rest of the day, I couldn’t stop thinking about how that scene had played out. It occurred to me that they probably went through something like that hundreds of times a day. What would that be like? What could I be teaching my children so they could understand how to respond better next time? What I should have done, instead of trying to avoid the situation, was involve the girl and her mother in conversation. If my son cried, so be it: kids cry. I should have set a better example for him, and shown him there was nothing to fear.
As I was thinking about the scene, the song Wonder by Natalie Merchant came on the radio that night, and something about the words to the song just got to me. That very night, I started writing Wonder, a story about a boy with a facial difference.
4. What made the younger son cry?
A. That his mother pushed him away. B. That his brother upset the milk shakes.
C. That he was unwilling to react to the girl. D. That he was scared by the girl’s appearance.
5. The underlined word “haste” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. hurry B. doubt C. sorrow D. turn
6. Why did the author keep thinking about the scene?
A. She regretted not behaving properly. B. She regretted not comforting her son.
C. She wanted to write a novel based on it. D. She wanted to clear up the misunderstanding.
7. What does the author want to express through the story?
A. Don’t judge a book by its cover. B. One good turn deserves another.
C. A kind gesture can reach a wound. D. Think twice before making a final decision.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. A 7. C

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“At a certain point I realized that sitting right next to me were a little girl with a facial deformity (畸形), her friend (or sister), and her mother.”(在某个时刻,我意识到坐在我旁边的是一个面部畸形的小女孩,她的朋友(或妹妹)和她的母亲。),根据文章第三段“When my younger son looked up and saw her, he reacted exactly the way you might think a three-year old would react when seeing something that scared him: he started to cry—pretty loudly, too.”(当我的小儿子抬起头看到她时,他的反应就像一个三岁的孩子看到吓到他的东西时的反应一样:他开始哭了起来,而且哭得很大声。)可推知,小儿子是因为被小女孩的外貌吓到而哭泣的。故选D。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“I caused my older son to knock over the shakes, and, well, it was a scene quite different from what I had hoped for.”(我匆忙导致大儿子把奶昔打翻,结果,场面与我原本的期望大相径庭。)可知,作者在匆忙中出错。所此处的“haste”意为“匆忙”。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“For the rest of the day, I couldn’t stop thinking about how that scene had played out. It occurred to me that they probably went through something like that hundreds of times a day. What would that be like? What could I be teaching my children so they could understand how to respond better next time? What I should have done, instead of trying to avoid the situation, was involve the girl and her mother in conversation.”(在那一天的剩余时间里,我无法停止思考那个场景是如何发生的。我想到他们可能每天都要经历这样的事情几百次。那会是什么样的呢?我应该教我的孩子们什么,以便他们下次能更好地应对?我应该做的,而不是试图避免这种情况,是让那个女孩和她的母亲参与到对话中。)可推知,作者一直在思考这个场景是因为她后悔没有正确地处理这个情况。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“What I should have done, instead of trying to avoid the situation, was involve the girl and her mother in conversation. If my son cried, so be it: kids cry. I should have set a better example for him, and shown him there was nothing to fear.”(我应该做的,而不是试图避免这种情况,是让那个女孩和她的母亲参与到对话中。如果我的儿子哭了,那就哭吧:孩子会哭。我应该给他树立一个更好的榜样,让他知道没有什么好害怕的。)可知,主要讲述了作者和儿子在冰淇淋店遇到一个面部畸形的小女孩,儿子因为害怕而哭泣,作者为了避免伤害小女孩的感情匆忙离开,但事后深感后悔,作者认为一个善意的姿态就可以治愈创伤。所以通过故事传达出的是一个善意的姿态就可以治愈创伤。故选C。
C
Every day, we face a range of decisions, from picking a shirt for work to choosing a job. Some of these decisions have far-reaching consequences that may impact the rest of our lives. These choices can be difficult, and we aren’t often aware of the reasons behind why we make certain choices. A new study explores how we make decisions when it comes to short and long-term rewards (回报). It found that we were more impulsive (冲动) with decisions that may bring about an immediate reward than those that have longer-term consequences.
The study was conducted by Professor Pleger from Ruhr University Bochm. The team wanted to know how we make decisions about what to eat and how to make a profit. They asked subjects to choose between smaller immediate rewards and larger rewards that they had to wait for. The longer they waited, the bigger the reward. Brain activity was observed using functional MRI, which shows which parts of the brain are active during decision-making.
The brain observation revealed interesting differences when it came to each type of reward. When people made decisions about money, brain areas responsible for thinking about the future and self-control were more active. When deciding about food, the areas that are linked to immediate satisfaction were more involved. This means that our decision-making pattern depends on the type of reward that we are presented with.
By understanding how our brains respond to different types of rewards, we may develop better tools that control how we make those decisions that may have serious consequences in our lives. Professor Pleger believes that understanding these differences can lead to new treatments for impulsive behaviors and addictions. For example, Neurofeedback (神经反馈) can observe real-time brain activity to help individuals manage their brain functions, which can help them make particularly difficult decisions, specifically surrounding unhealthy or addictive choices.
8. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. The process of Pleger’s study. B. The causes of brain activity.
C. The theory of people’s choices. D. The methods of decision-making.
9. What do we know about the decision-making pattern according to the passage?
A. It is responsible for better self-control.
B. It is associated with different brain areas.
C. It has nothing to do with the type of reward.
D. It brings people more immediate satisfaction.
10. Why does the author mention the example in the last paragraph?
A. To confirm the assumption. B. To show the application of the study.
C. To compare the differences. D. To praise the effectiveness of the tools.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. How can we make reasonable decisions?
B. Are your decisions linked to self-control?
C. Are your decisions based on impulse or reason?
D. How can we apply our decision-making pattern?
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇科普说明文,文章主要讨论了我们的决策是基于冲动还是理性,以及这种决策模式如何影响我们的生活。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“The team wanted to know how we make decisions about what to eat and how to make a profit. They asked subjects to choose between smaller immediate rewards and larger rewards that they had to wait for. The longer they waited, the bigger the reward. Brain activity was observed using functional MRI, which shows which parts of the brain are active during decision-making.”(这个团队想知道我们是如何决定吃什么以及如何盈利的。他们要求受试者在较小的即时奖励和必须等待的较大奖励之间做出选择。他们等待的时间越长,奖励就越大。研究人员使用功能性核磁共振成像来观察大脑活动,该成像显示出大脑的哪些部分在做决策时是活跃的。)可知,第二段主要描述了Pleger的研究过程。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“When people made decisions about money, brain areas responsible for thinking about the future and self-control were more active. When deciding about food, the areas that are linked to immediate satisfaction were more involved. This means that our decision-making pattern depends on the type of reward that we are presented with.”(当人们做出有关金钱的决定时,大脑中负责思考未来和自我控制的区域更加活跃。当决定吃什么时,与即时满足感相关的区域更多地参与其中。这意味着我们的决策模式取决于我们所获得的奖励类型。)可知,决策模式与不同的大脑区域有关。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Professor Pleger believes that understanding these differences can lead to new treatments for impulsive behaviors and addictions. For example, Neurofeedback (神经反馈) can observe real-time brain activity to help individuals manage their brain functions, which can help them make particularly difficult decisions, specifically surrounding unhealthy or addictive choices.”(普莱格教授认为,了解这些差异可以为冲动行为和成瘾带来新的治疗方法。例如,神经反馈可以观察实时大脑活动,帮助个体管理他们的大脑功能,这可以帮助他们做出特别困难的决定,特别是围绕不健康或上瘾的选择。)可知,作者提到这个例子是为了展示研究的应用。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new study explores how we make decisions when it comes to short and long-term rewards (回报). It found that we were more impulsive (冲动) with decisions that may bring about an immediate reward than those that have longer-term consequences.”(一项新的研究探讨了我们在短期和长期奖励方面是如何做出决定的。研究发现,与那些有长期影响的决定相比,我们在做出可能带来即时回报的决定时更容易冲动。)和最后一段“By understanding how our brains respond to different types of rewards, we may develop better tools that control how we make those decisions that may have serious consequences in our lives.”( 通过了解我们的大脑对不同类型奖励的反应,我们可以开发出更好的工具来控制我们如何做出那些可能对我们的生活产生严重后果的决定)可知文章主要讨论了我们的决策是基于冲动还是理性,以及这种决策模式如何影响我们的生活。故短文的最佳标题为“你的决定是基于冲动还是理性?”切题。故选C。
D
A heated theme around AI in education is that students could use these generative tools to complete their homework. Educators are worried that students may not build essential skills if it becomes too easy to misrepresent machine-generated work as their own. In addition to concerns that such use may contribute to cheating, it’s also known that AI can provide misinformation that may mislead students. As a result, many schools have banned (禁止) generative AI completely. But is that reasonable?
The answer is no, says Sebastian Rao, a Virginia STEM school senior. Instead, he supports AI policies that make the technology accessible to students and educators but provide appropriate edges. “How do we structure a classroom that uses AI?” asks Rao. He says the focus should be to thoughtfully integrate (合并) AI technology in classrooms so that students can use it to enhance their education and build new skills.
When schools place strict bans on AI, students may be confused and unsure about what they can and can’t use. Many students use AI in ways educators didn’t consider, worsening the problem of managing their use in the classroom. Meanwhile, the technology is evolving quickly and becoming integrated into an ever-growing range of tools. Academic tools like Grammarly now use AI, as do search engines like Google and Bing. Khan Academy recently built a free AI-powered app, Khanmigo, to provide one-on-one homework help to students who may not otherwise have access to a live tutor (家庭教师). “A lot of students don’t really know what to think about a lot of these technologies. Some are confused about ‘What does AI mean? Is it cheating in certain cases?’” explains Rao.
Rather than viewing the use of AI as cheating, the U. S. Department of Education is integrating AI into policy because the technology allows educators to support students with a valuable, personalized approach to learning. Knowing how to use AI effectively and properly will be necessary for students’ future development.
12. Why do many schools ban AI completely?
A. AI may offer much information.
B. AI may cause students a lot of worry.
C. AI may destroy students’ essential skills.
D. AI may weaken students’ study performance.
13. What is Sebastian Rao’s opinion on AI in education?
A. Schools should refuse AI technology.
B. Educators should build their AI skills.
C. Schools should establish clear guidelines.
D. Educators should enhance their education.
14. What may the ban on AI at school result in?
A. Rapid evolution of AI. B. Students’ confusion about AI.
C. Popularity of a live tutor. D. Educators’ interest in technology.
15. What is the U.S. Department of Education’s attitude towards AI?
A. Unclear. B. Worried. C. Favorable. D. Negative.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,主要讨论了AI在教育中的应用,以及对此的不同观点和态度
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Educators are worried that students may not build essential skills if it becomes too easy to misrepresent machine-generated work as their own. In addition to concerns that such use may contribute to cheating, it’s also known that AI can provide misinformation that may mislead students.”(教育工作者担心,如果将机器生成的工作误认为是他们自己的工作变得太容易,学生可能无法掌握基本技能。除了担心这种使用可能会导致作弊之外,人们还知道人工智能可能会提供误导学生的错误信息。)可知,为什么许多学校完全禁止人工智能是因为人工智能可能会削弱学生的学业表现。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Instead, he supports AI policies that make the technology accessible to students and educators but provide appropriate edges.”(相反,他支持使学生和教育者能够接触到这项技术但提供适当边界的AI政策。)可推知,Sebastian Rao的观点是学校应该建立明确的指导方针。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“When schools place strict bans on AI, students may be confused and unsure about what they can and can’t use.”(当学校严格禁止AI时,学生可能会对他们能使用什么和不能使用什么感到困惑。)可推知,学校对AI的禁令可能导致学生对AI感到困惑。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Rather than viewing the use of AI as cheating, the U. S. Department of Education is integrating AI into policy because the technology allows educators to support students with a valuable, personalized approach to learning.”(美国教育部并不将使用AI视为作弊,而是将AI整合到政策中,因为这项技术让教育者能够以有价值的、个性化的方式支持学生的学习。)可推知,美国教育部对AI的态度是积极的。故选C。

Light pollution can cause problems in humans. Usually, light guides day and night activities and influences body processes. ___18___ It causes sleep disorders, headaches, stress, anxiety and other health problems.
Light pollution also has an impact on animals. Insects drawn in by electric lights die when they contact light sources. Birds are also attracted to light. Even animals living under the sea may be influenced by electric light. ___19___ The National Park Service studied night sky brightness in about 100 national parks. Nearly every park had at least some light pollution.
Fortunately, several groups work to reduce light pollution and many states have applied laws to control outdoor lighting. ___20___ Just use outdoor lighting only when it is needed and keep lights down in bedroom.
A. It shows how and where our globe is lit up at night.
B. Everyone can take steps to reduce light pollution at home too.
C. Many cities are now taking measures to reduce light pollution.
D. It influences night sky observation, human health and wildlife behavior.

【36题详解】
考查形容词的最高级。句意:它被认为是所有中国戏剧中最大和最古老的音乐系统。根据后文的the most ancient可知,设空处应该使用large的最高级构成并列结构,修饰名词作定语。故填largest。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:据史料记载,秦腔最早出现于秦代,元代经历了很大的发展,元代正式发展成为一种戏曲形式,并在清代获得了极大的认可。设空处使用improve的名词improvement作宾语,意为“提升,改善”。其为不可数名词也可以为可数名词,当为可数名词时,此处表示复数意义。故填improvement/improvements。
【38题详解】
考查连词。句意:同上。设空处使用连词,连接appeared,experienced,was developed与gained,根据句意,四个动词构成并列关系。故填and。

考查非谓语动词。句意:它的剧目通常以反战和斗争为主题,以及一些其他人们非常感兴趣的主题,反映了当地人的诚实,慷慨,勇敢和其他特征。句中feature为谓语动词,设空处使用非谓语动词,a number of other topics of strong human interest 与reflect之间是主动关系,故使用现在分词作后置定语。故填reflecting。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:秦腔也是最早表现人类情感的歌剧音乐体系之一。设空处引导的是定语从句,修饰先行词systems,引导词在从句中作主语,为物。当先行词前面有最高级修饰的时候,此时关系代词只能用that。故填that。

考查动词时态。句意:秦腔是由艺术家创造的一套表演技巧,自诞生以来对其他戏曲形式产生了很大的影响。设空处应为非谓语动词作状语,且位于句首,首字母大写;逻辑主语 Qinqiang与equip 之间为被动关系,所以使用过去分词。故填 Equipped。
【42题详解】
考查动词的时态、语态及主谓一致。句意:同上。设空处应为本句的谓语动词;主语 Qinqiang为单数,且与influence 之间为主动关系;根据句中since it came into being 可知,句子表示的是一个从过去一直持续到现在的动作,谓语动词应用现在完成时。故填 has influenced。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:由于其独特的表演方式得到认可,秦腔的四个主要角色:生、旦、净、丑为人们所熟知。设空处使用介词构成with+宾语+过去分词的复合结构。同时该空置于句首,开头单词首字母大写。故填With。
【44题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:不同地区和民族音乐类型的不同口音导致了秦腔本身在发音、音乐等方面的细微差异。根据句意,此处表示“不同口音导致了秦腔本身在发音、音乐等方面的细微差异”,表示“秦腔本身”用反身代词itself。故填itself。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:近年来,西安及其周边地区的主要类型在艺术形式的创新和发展中发挥了重要作用。句中play an important role in为固定短语,意为“发挥一个重要的作用”。故填an。
