Although##Though 50. maker 51. took 52. mother’s 53. for 54. will be 55. completely 56. saying 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者为了帮助学校同学治病而举行的庭院拍卖会，在拍卖会上有一个小男孩给妈妈买生日礼物的事情让作者很感动。 【47题详解】 句意：所以上周日我决定和我妹妹举办一个庭院拍卖会来为她筹钱。此处“raise some money”是举办庭院拍卖会的目的，因此应用动词不定式“to raise”，作目的状语。故填to raise。 【48题详解】 句意：从她五岁生日起，她就拥有了它。根据时间状语“since her fifth birthday”可知此句应用现在完成时，主语是“She”，助动词应用“has”，动词变为过去分词“owned”。故填has owned。 【49题详解】 句意：尽管和它们分开她感觉到很伤心，但是她也更善解人意。此句“she felt sad to part with them”和后句“she was much more understanding”是让步关系，因此应用“although/though”引导让步状语从句，位于句首首字母需大写。故填Although/Though。 【50题详解】 句意：我们的妈妈也允许我们卖掉面包机和她的围巾。根据“the bread…”可知此处应用“make”的名词“maker”，bread maker“面包机”。故填maker。 【51题详解】 句意：他从他的口袋里拿出一些硬币开始数。根据并列动词“counted”可知此处应用动词“take”的过去式“took”。故填took。 【52题详解】 句意：明天是我妈妈的生日。此空修饰后面的名词“birthday”，应用“mother”的名词所有格“mother’s”。故填mother’s。 【53题详解】 句意：同时，我也能为那个学生做点事情。根据“I can also do something…the student”可知此处应用介词“for”，表示“为了”。故填for。 【54题详解】 句意：我认为我妈妈会为我做的事感到开心的。此句是直接引语，根据语境可知应用一般将来时，因此此处应用“will be”。故填will be。 【55题详解】 句意：他的话彻底感动了我妹妹和我。此空修饰动词“moved”，应用“complete”的副词形式“completely”。故填completely。 【56题详解】 句意：在和我们说了谢谢后，他拿着围巾开心地离开了。此空位于介词“After”后，应用动名词形式“saying”，作介词宾语。故填saying。 四、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，计10分） 阅读下面短文，完成短文后的问题。 14-year-boy Picks up Trash to Help the Sea At just 14 years old, Ryan Hickman from San Juan Hills High School, US, has made waves (引起轰动) with a beach clean-up campaign (运动). On April 20th, he and many volunteers from Project 3R, the nonprofit (非营利机构) he created, started a five-week campaign at five beaches along the Southern California coast and some in Mexico to remove trash (清除垃圾). “The trash ends up in the ocean, and animals are eating it,” Hickman told The Orange County Register. “Picking up a piece of trash may save a turtle’s life.” In 2012, Ryan Hickman started to pick up the trash around the beaches. Ever since then, he and some volunteers have collected about 2 million bottles and cans (金属罐) from beaches, lakes and rivers. Hickman first learned about the impacts (影响) of pollution at the Pacific Marine Mammal Center (PMMC, 太平洋海洋哺乳动物中心) in Laguna Beach, which has been rescuing (营救) sea lions and seals (海豹) for more than 40 years. Watching the animals improve inspired him to think about what he could do to help. From a young age, Hickman had developed a love for recycling and had always liked trash trucks. He put the two interests together and began raising money by collecting recyclables (可回收物). In 2017, Hickman gave away a $10, 000 (about 72,000 yuan) check over to the PMMC after picking up 50, 000 pounds of trash and more than 200, 000 recyclable bottles. Along with organizing volunteer cleanups, Hickman has also traveled worldwide, speaking to kids about caring for the planet and oceans. At the Ocean Institute in California, he started a program where primary school students clean local beaches and then board the institute’s teaching ship to learn about pollution’s impact. “It’s fun,” he said. “The people I talk to may encourage them, and they might organize a cleanup, too.” 57.

The face-painting was something I’d never seen before. It is so different from Western opera.” With great interest, she joined the Peking Opera group of Tsinghua University. That made her see that Peking Opera is much more than just the looks. “There is really, really huge cultural and historical background in Peking Opera.” The group members practice twice a week. Mostly, they practice singing and movements. The biggest problem for Lulu was learning the Asian way of singing. “To start with, my throat was in great pain, because I was using my voice in the wrong way,” she said.

Today, there are Legoland parks in California, Florida, Malaysia, Dubai, Windsor, Japan and Germany. Bicycling is popular in Denmark. Nine out of ten Danes have a bike. They ride their bikes no matter what the weather. They aren’t just riding bikes for fun. They use bikes to get to work, to take their kids to places, and even to carry goods. Today, more and more people are choosing bikes over cars. They have a saying in Denmark: “A bicycle is a Dane’s best friend.” Denmark is called the land of fairy tales.

You can call me ‘captain’,” he said. Then he asked a man to carry his large sailor’s chest to his room. “I’m a simple man,” he told my father, “Rum and bacon (咸肉) and eggs is all I want. Here are four gold coins to start. Tell me when I have to pay more. During the day he went to the cliffs (悬崖) with his telescope (望远镜) and in the evening he sat by the fire drinking rum and water. He asked about sailors every day. We soon understood that he wanted to avoid them. When a sailor visited the inn, the captain was always very quiet. One day he asked me, “If you see a sailor with one leg, tell me as soon as he arrives.” When the captain drank too much rum, he sang sea-songs and told the other customers terrible stories about his violent (暴力的) life at sea. He stayed month after month, but he didn’t give my father any more money. My poor father was too frightened to ask. Everyone was frightened of the captain and his stories.
