It’s a holiday we had never heard of before we came to live in a village here as Peace Corps community volunteers. It’s unbelievably great. On the Fire Festival, drums beat a quick and regular rhythm that locals dance to in a circle of bodies, men and women, the old and young, holding torches of burning grass above their heads, which stands for the light and getting off negative energies. At this moment, this festival is being held at the beginning of the lunar year. The locals are all so involved in the celebration that they don’t pay as much attention to us as they normally will. When they find us getting involved as they are, they dance more vigorously and scream with joy. Danielle, a friend of mine in the Peace Corps, says, “That we join in the celebration is significant because foreigners here are typically seen as the representatives of other organizations, not as people who are willing to join in the Fire Festival rituals (仪式). But in fact, we are dancing and celebrating as one.” Our two-year Peace Corps service will finish up in mid-November. We can think of no better way to say goodbye than by celebrating the Fire Festival with the villagers we’ve come to know. The festival lets us see a different side of them — and lets them see a different side of us. The neighbors who sell rice are now the women who urge us to run faster and dance harder at the Fire Festival. And rather than view us as low-key volunteers, they see us as the ones who have crazy dance steps with wild screams. 4. Why did the author go to northern Ghana? A. To find a job. B. To go traveling. C. To study further. D. To do voluntary work. 5. How do the locals feel when seeing the author and Danielle join in the celebration? A. Annoyed. B. Indifferent. C. Confused. D. Excited. 6. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The benefits of celebrating the Fire Festival. B. The secrets of dancing well in the Fire Festival. C. The reasons of the author’s joining in the festival. D. The experience of helping the neighbors sell rice. 7 What can we learn from the text? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. When in Rome do as the Romans do. D. The grass is always greener on the other side. C A broken heart and a sad ending to a long friendship. That’s something most of us have experienced, or probably will. After all, it’s part of human life. But the experience can be hard to get over. But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can arouse the desire to connect with others. Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart. A recent study from Germany found the emotional influence of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy (同情), and a desire for positive connection with others. That, itself, is psychologically healing. It draws you away from concentration on yourself, and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort. Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” improved their mood. In fact, it did so when the person first consciously accept the situation causing their sadness, and then began listening to the sad music. That is, when they intended that the sad music might help, they found that it did. These findings link with other studies that show accepting your sad situation emotionally leads to healing and growth beyond it. It seems unbelievable but it does make sense. For example, research from Cornell University found that accepting discomfort about a life experience or new situation, and viewing it as a step towards growth and change, encourages people to find a pathway through it, beyond it. As Churchill famously said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It brings hope. 8. What can we learn from Paragraph 3&4? A. Sad music can make people help others. B. Sad music can make sad people feel better. C. Sad music can make people believe in themselves. D. Sad music can make people concentrate on themselves. 9. What does the phrase underlined in the last paragraph mean? A. Hearing a swear word used by enemies. B. Avoiding a place to go after death. C. Getting an extremely pleasant time. D. Having an-unbearable experience. 10. How does the author develop this article? A. By presenting research findings. B. By giving directions. C. By listing authoritative figures. D. By comparing examples. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the article? A. How to Find Pathways through Heartaches B. How We React to a Broken Heart Matters a Lot C. What We Can Do to Overcome Discomfort in Life D. Why Listening to Sad Music Heals Your Broken Heart D Psychologists have defined nostalgia (怀旧) as self-conscious, socially emotional, bittersweet but mainly positive. It develops out of happy memories mixed with a longing for the past and the close relationships we had back then. Often, nostalgia involves five senses. For example, the smell of autumn leaves might spark an intense longing for your childhood home. Almost everyone experiences nostalgia, although its object tends to vary throughout life. One survey conducted by the psychologist Krystine Irene Batcho found that younger people felt more nostalgia for pets, toys, and holidays than did older people, who felt it more strongly for music. I came of age in the 1980s, and even songs I found hopelessly annoying back then can fill me with nostalgic emotions. As my colleague Julie Beck has written, nostalgia was originally viewed as an emotional disorder when it was first defined in the late 17th century. And, crucially, it often occurs when people are experiencing negative moods or having bad experiences. Loneliness can be a trigger, as researchers found in 2008. Another is bad weather. However, despite its association with negative emotions, nostalgia does not cause or increase unhappiness. Rather, nostalgia is a defense response to unhappiness, one that brings relief from a negative mood. Psychologists writing in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology in 2006 found that stirring nostalgia in experiments strengthened people’s social bonds, boosted their positive feelings about themselves, and improved their mood. Similar research has shown that when people feel nostalgia, it can fire their sense of life’s meaning, lower an existential (存在主义的) reaction to the idea of death, increase spirituality, and raise optimism. Scholars aren’t sure exactly why nostalgia works; some have inferred that recalling happy memories strengthens “valued aspects of the self” in situations when we might otherwise feel lonely or unworthy. Either way, its emotional intensity allows the joy of the past to overpower the unpleasantness of the present, a little escapism that helps get us through the bad times. 12. What do the psychologists think of nostalgia? A. Always painful. B. Primarily positive. C. Seldom intense. D. Usually unconscious. 13. Why is the author’s experience mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To show the objects of nostalgia change with age. B. To illustrate annoying music often leads to nostalgia. C. To highlight the young are more likely to be nostalgic. D. To demonstrate nostalgia has an impact on emotions. 14 In which situation may people easily feel nostalgia? A. Attending a lively class. B. Engaging in a family reunion. C. Staying alone in an empty room. D. Joining in a joyful birthday party. 15. What may be a benefit of nostalgia? A. Maintaining self-respect. B. Shaping personal insights. C. Escaping from daily chaos. D. Enhancing one’s self-worth. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Sometimes you may feel like privacy, as a concept, has disappeared from the world. ____16____ Thus they can serve up frighteningly accurate ads that make you think your phone’s microphone has been turned on and marketers are actively listening to your every word. They’re not— yet. But they are engaged in something called “datamining”. This is the process of collecting enormous amounts of unknown data from your every connected activity and then analyzing that data to fill your life with advertisements and other influences. Datamining gives away your privacy. You may find it quite impossible to avoid. ____17____ Check settings carefully. When you install (安装) an app on your device, you probably click through a series of permissions, But an app may require many unnecessary permissions.

If your main goal on social media is to connect with friends or colleagues, restrict the reach of your posts to just those folks. And don’t expose your travel plans, spending habits, or product reviews out into the universe. Remember to log out. ____20____ And as long as you’re signed in, that ability continues — even if you leave the site. It’s an inconvenience indeed, but logging out of those services when you’re not actively using them and clearing cookies and history regularly can slowdown the mining of data. A. Be “boring” on social media. B. Mind your comments on social media. C. But you can minimize your exposure to it. D. Advertisers certainly seem to know everything about you. E. You should assume it is more of a data-mining app than anything else. F. Upon logging into platforms like Google, your activities are monitored. G.

C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述作者作为和平队社区志愿者在加纳北部庆祝火把节的经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It’s a holiday we had never heard of before we came to live in a village here as Peace Corps community volunteers.( 这是我们作为和平队社区志愿者来到这里的一个村庄生活之前从未听说过的假期)”可知，作者到加纳北部做志愿工作。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“When they find us getting involved as they are, they dance more vigorously and scream with joy. (当他们发现我们像他们一样参与进来时，他们会跳得更卖力，高兴地尖叫)”可推断，当地人发现志愿者们加入他们的庆祝活动后，他们非常激动。故选D。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“We can think of no better way to say goodbye than by celebrating the Fire Festival with the villagers we’ve come to know. The festival lets us see a different side of them—and lets them see a different side of us. (我们想不出比和我们认识的村民一起庆祝火把节更好的告别方式了。这个节日让我们看到了他们的另一面，也让他们看到了我们的另一面)”可知，本段主要讲作者和Danielle加入当地火把节庆祝活动的原因。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。结合第一段“It’s a holiday we had never heard of before we came to live in a village here as Peace Corps community volunteers.(这是一个我们作为和平队社区志愿者来到这个村庄之前从未听说过的节日)”和第四段中“That we join in the celebration is significant because foreigners here are typically seen as the representatives of other organizations, not as people who are willing to join in the Fire Festival rituals (仪式). But in fact, we are dancing and celebrating as one.(我们参加庆祝活动意义重大，因为这里的外国人通常被视为其他组织的代表，而不是愿意参加火把节仪式的人。但事实上，我们在一起跳舞和庆祝)”可知，作者和Danielle以和平工作团志愿者的身份来到加纳北部，当地人庆祝火把节时，他们入乡随俗，积极参与庆祝活动，这得以让当地人和志愿者们重新认识彼此。因此，从文中我们可以学到“When in Rome, do as the Romans do(入乡随俗)”。故选C。 C A broken heart and a sad ending to a long friendship. That’s something most of us have experienced, or probably will. After all, it’s part of human life. But the experience can be hard to get over. But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can arouse the desire to connect with others. Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart. A recent study from Germany found the emotional influence of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy (同情), and a desire for positive connection with others. That, itself, is psychologically healing. It draws you away from concentration on yourself, and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort. Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” improved their mood. In fact, it did so when the person first consciously accept the situation causing their sadness, and then began listening to the sad music. That is, when they intended that the sad music might help, they found that it did. These findings link with other studies that show accepting your sad situation emotionally leads to healing and growth beyond it. It seems unbelievable but it does make sense. For example, research from Cornell University found that accepting discomfort about a life experience or new situation, and viewing it as a step towards growth and change, encourages people to find a pathway through it, beyond it. As Churchill famously said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It brings hope. 8. What can we learn from Paragraph 3&4? A. Sad music can make people help others. B. Sad music can make sad people feel better. C. Sad music can make people believe in themselves. D. Sad music can make people concentrate on themselves. 9. What does the phrase underlined in the last paragraph mean? A. Hearing a swear word used by enemies. B. Avoiding a place to go after death. C. Getting an extremely pleasant time. D. Having an-unbearable experience. 10. How does the author develop this article? A. By presenting research findings. B. By giving directions. C. By listing authoritative figures. D. By comparing examples. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the article? A. How to Find Pathways through Heartaches B. How We React to a Broken Heart Matters a Lot C. What We Can Do to Overcome Discomfort in Life D. Why Listening to Sad Music Heals Your Broken Heart 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了听悲伤的音乐在治愈心灵创伤中的作用，相关研究表明，听悲伤的音乐可以帮助人们重新感受到生活的快乐和希望，唤起同理心，并激发与他人建立积极联系的欲望。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart. (悲伤的音乐可以帮助你从破碎的心灵中治愈和振作起来。)”和第四段中“Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was ‘beautiful but sad’ improved their mood. (肯特大学的另一项实验发现，当人们感到悲伤时，听‘美丽但悲伤’的音乐可以改善他们的情绪。)”可知，悲伤的音乐对悲伤的人而言有治愈作用，能改善他们的情绪，即可以让他们感觉好一些。故选B项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It brings hope. (这种不适会让你制定一个计划，一个新的行动。它带来了希望。)”可推知，此处描述的一种不适的、糟糕的经历。结合选项内容可知，画线短语意思应该是“有难以忍受的经历”。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“A recent study from Germany found the emotional influence of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy (同情), and a desire for positive connection with others. (德国最近的一项研究发现，听悲伤的音乐对情绪的影响是一种同理心的唤起，以及与他人建立积极联系的渴望。)”、第四段中“Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was ‘beautiful but sad’ improved their mood. (肯特大学的另一项实验发现，当人们感到悲伤时，听‘美丽但悲伤’的音乐可以改善他们的情绪。)”和最后一段中“For example, research from Cornell University found that accepting discomfort about a life experience or new situation, and viewing it as a step towards growth and change, encourages people to find a pathway through it, beyond it. (例如，康奈尔大学的研究发现，接受对生活经历或新情况的不适，并将其视为迈向成长和改变的一步，会鼓励人们找到克服和超越它的途径。)”可知，文章呈现了多个研究结果，来表明听悲伤音乐的积极作用。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. (但研究表明，心痛是有缓解途径的。听悲伤的音乐是主要的一种途径。)”可知，文章主要介绍了听悲伤的音乐在治愈心灵创伤中的作用，这些作用包括帮助人们重新感受到生活的快乐和希望，唤起同理心，并激发与他人建立积极联系的欲望等。因此，D项“为什么听悲伤的音乐能治愈你破碎的心”契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 D Psychologists have defined nostalgia (怀旧) as self-conscious, socially emotional, bittersweet but mainly positive. It develops out of happy memories mixed with a longing for the past and the close relationships we had back then. Often, nostalgia involves five senses. For example, the smell of autumn leaves might spark an intense longing for your childhood home. Almost everyone experiences nostalgia, although its object tends to vary throughout life. One survey conducted by the psychologist Krystine Irene Batcho found that younger people felt more nostalgia for pets, toys, and holidays than did older people, who felt it more strongly for music. I came of age in the 1980s, and even songs I found hopelessly annoying back then can fill me with nostalgic emotions. As my colleague Julie Beck has written, nostalgia was originally viewed as an emotional disorder when it was first defined in the late 17th century. And, crucially, it often occurs when people are experiencing negative moods or having bad experiences. Loneliness can be a trigger, as researchers found in 2008. Another is bad weather. However, despite its association with negative emotions, nostalgia does not cause or increase unhappiness. Rather, nostalgia is a defense response to unhappiness, one that brings relief from a negative mood. Psychologists writing in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology in 2006 found that stirring nostalgia in experiments strengthened people’s social bonds, boosted their positive feelings about themselves, and improved their mood. Similar research has shown that when people feel nostalgia, it can fire their sense of life’s meaning, lower an existential (存在主义的) reaction to the idea of death, increase spirituality, and raise optimism. Scholars aren’t sure exactly why nostalgia works; some have inferred that recalling happy memories strengthens “valued aspects of the self” in situations when we might otherwise feel lonely or unworthy. Either way, its emotional intensity allows the joy of the past to overpower the unpleasantness of the present, a little escapism that helps get us through the bad times. 12. What do the psychologists think of nostalgia? A. Always painful. B. Primarily positive. C. Seldom intense. D. Usually unconscious. 13. Why is the author’s experience mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To show the objects of nostalgia change with age. B. To illustrate annoying music often leads to nostalgia. C. To highlight the young are more likely to be nostalgic. D. To demonstrate nostalgia has an impact on emotions. 14. In which situation may people easily feel nostalgia? A. Attending a lively class. B. Engaging in a family reunion. C. Staying alone in an empty room. D. Joining in a joyful birthday party. 15. What may be a benefit of nostalgia? A. Maintaining self-respect. B. Shaping personal insights. C. Escaping from daily chaos. D. Enhancing one’s self-worth. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了nostalgia (怀旧)是如何产生的，怀旧的特点及其好处。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Psychologists have defined nostalgia as self-conscious, socially emotional, bittersweet but mainly positive.(心理学家将怀旧定义为自我意识、社会情感、苦乐参半，但主要是积极的)”可知，心理学家认为怀旧主要是积极的。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Almost everyone experiences nostalgia, although its object tends to vary throughout life. One survey conducted by the psychologist Krystine Irene Batcho found that younger people felt more nostalgia for pets, toys, and holidays than did older people, who felt it more strongly for music. I came of age in the 1980s, and even songs I found hopelessly annoying back then can fill me with nostalgic emotions.(几乎每个人都会经历怀旧，尽管怀旧的对象在一生中往往会有所不同。心理学家Krystine Irene Batcho进行的一项调查发现，年轻人比老年人更怀念宠物、玩具和假期，老年人对音乐的怀念更强烈。我是在20世纪80年代长大的，即使是当时我觉得非常讨厌的歌曲也能让我充满怀旧的情绪)”可知，怀旧的对象在一生中往往会有所不同，年轻人比老年人更怀念宠物、玩具和假期，老年人对音乐的怀念更强烈，老歌曲引起作者的怀旧情绪，作者第二段用自己的例子说明怀旧的对象随年龄的变化。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“And, crucially, it often occurs when people are experiencing negative moods or having bad experiences. Loneliness can be a trigger, as researchers found in 2008. Another is bad weather.(更重要的是，它通常发生在人们经历消极情绪或糟糕经历的时候。研究人员在2008年发现，孤独可能是诱因。另一个是坏天气)”可知，独自待在一个空房间里可能会引起人们的怀旧情绪。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Scholars aren’t sure exactly why nostalgia works; some have inferred that recalling happy memories strengthens “valued aspects of the self” in situations when we might otherwise feel lonely or unworthy. Either way, its emotional intensity allows the joy of the past to overpower the unpleasantness of the present, a little escapism that helps get us through the bad times.(学者们并不确定为什么怀旧会起作用；一些人推断，回忆快乐的记忆会在我们可能感到孤独或不值得的情况下加强“自我有价值的方面”。不管怎样，它的情感强度让过去的快乐压倒了现在的不愉快，这是帮助我们度过艰难时期的一点逃避主义)”可知，怀旧其中的一个好处是提升自我价值。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Sometimes you may feel like privacy, as a concept, has disappeared from the world. ____16____ Thus they can serve up frighteningly accurate ads that make you think your phone’s microphone has been turned on and marketers are actively listening to your every word. They’re not— yet. But they are engaged in something called “datamining”. This is the process of collecting enormous amounts of unknown data from your every connected activity and then analyzing that data to fill your life with advertisements and other influences. Datamining gives away your privacy. You may find it quite impossible to avoid. ____17____ Check settings carefully. When you install (安装) an app on your device, you probably click through a series of permissions, But an app may require many unnecessary permissions. You may doubt whether a game really needs access to your microphone, location, and camera. ____18____ Take the next line of defense: stop installing garbage free apps and spend that dollar. ____19____ Social media is very obviously a landfill when it comes to privacy. If your main goal on social media is to connect with friends or colleagues, restrict the reach of your posts to just those folks. And don’t expose your travel plans, spending habits, or product reviews out into the universe. Remember to log out. ____20____ And as long as you’re signed in, that ability continues — even if you leave the site. It’s an inconvenience indeed, but logging out of those services when you’re not actively using them and clearing cookies and history regularly can slowdown the mining of data. A. Be “boring” on social media. B. Mind your comments on social media. C. But you can minimize your exposure to it. D. Advertisers certainly seem to know everything about you. E. You should assume it is more of a data-mining app than anything else. F. Upon logging into platforms like Google, your activities are monitored. G. Online platforms have some hidden traps in which you will be cheated often. 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. E 19. A 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。在信息窃取情况泛滥的当下，人们该如何尽可能减少隐私曝光呢?本文给出了三种方法。 【16题详解】 设空处下文的“Thus they can serve up frighteningly accurate ads that make you think your phone’s microphone has been turned on and marketers are actively listening to your every word. (因此，他们可以提供极其精确的广告，让你觉得你的手机麦克风已被打开，营销人员正在积极监听你的每一句话。)” 提到广告推销人员正在积极倾听你说的每一句话。由此可知，D项“Advertisers certainly seem to know everything about you.(广告商似乎知道你的所有信息。)”与下文呈因果关系，下文的they指代选项中的Advertisers。故选D。 【17题详解】 根据上文的“Datamining gives away your privacy. You may find it quite impossible to avoid.(数据挖掘泄露了用户隐私，你可能发现这不可避免。)” 可知，数据挖掘泄露用户隐私不可避免，由此可知，C项“But you can minimize your exposure to it.(但你可以尽量减少与它的接触。)”与上文呈转折关系，符合语境。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据小标题“Check settings carefully.（仔细检查安装的设置。）”以及根据空前的“But an app may require many unnecessary permissions. You may doubt whether a game really needs access to your microphone, location, and camera.（但应用程序可能需要许多不必要的权限。你可能会怀疑游戏是否真的需要访问你的麦克风、位置和摄像头。）” 可知，某个应用程序或许想获得一些不必要的许可，如打开你的麦克风，定位和摄像头，你可能也会怀疑其合理性。且下文的“Take the next line of defense: stop installing garbage free apps and spend that dollar.（采取下一道防线：停止安装无垃圾应用程序和花掉那一美元。）”提到要采取行动防护。 由此可知，E 项“You should assume it is more of a data-mining app than anything else. (你应该猜到这更像是一个数据窃取的应用程序。)”承上启下，符合语境。故选E。 【19题详解】 设空处为本段的小标题。根据下文“ If your main goal on social media is to connect with friends or colleagues, restrict the reach of your posts to just those folks. And don’t expose your travel plans, spending habits, or product review s out into the universe. (如果你在社交媒体上的主要目标是与朋友或同事联系，那就把你的帖子限制在这些人的范围内。不要把你的旅行计划、消费习惯或产品评论泄露出去。)” 可知，这些措施都是让人们在社交平台上谨慎不张扬外露，正好对应了boring 的引申义。由此可知，A 项“Be ‘boring’ on social media.(在社交媒体上表现得‘无聊’一些。)”符合语境。故选A。 【20题详解】 本段提供的方法是“Remember to log out.（记得退出登录。)”,根据下文的 “And as long as you’re signed in, that ability continues—even if you leave the site.” (只要你登录了，不管在线与否，这种监控行为都会持续。)由此可知，F项“Upon logging into platforms like Google, your activities are monitored. (当你登陆了诸如谷歌等平台，你的活动就会被监控。)”可承接下文，符合语境。故选F。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分45分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I sat at the table with my little son.

【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了巴西音乐的作用、意义和由来，音乐绝对是巴西文化的重要组成部分。 【46题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：它无处不在，从酒吧、餐馆、海滩到企业、家庭甚至山上。分析句式结构可知，此处用非谓语动词定语，修饰everywhere，因为range和everywhere之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词作定语。故填ranging。 【47题详解】 考查形容词。句意：巴西音乐是一种保持许多重要历史时刻鲜活的传统方式，也是一种将传统代代相传的惊人方式。根据空格后的名词way可知，此处用提示词的形容词形式traditional作定语修饰名词way。故填traditional。 【48题详解】 考查冠词。句意：同上。分析句意可知，此处用不定冠词表泛指，又因为amazing是元音因素开头，所以用an。故填an。 【49题详解】 考查名词。句意：几乎所有的仪式都以音乐为主。分析句式结构可知，此处用名词作主语，再根据空格前的all可知，应该用名词的复述形式。故填ceremonies。 【50题详解】 考查被动语态。句意：它被用来反映人们的热情，经常讲述一个故事或显示重要事件。根据上文的It is可知，本句的时态为一般现在时，又因为use和it之间是被动关系，所以用一般现在时的被动语态。故填is used。 【51题详解】 考查介词。句意：这些文字讲述了人们的历史和灵魂，表达了对自由和爱的渴望。分析句意再根据空格前的desire可知，此处用介词for构成固定搭配desire for表示“对……的渴望”。故填for。 【52题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：汇集了许多不同背景的风格，巴西创造了世界公认的独特音乐。分析句式结构可知，此处用非谓语动词作后置定语，又因为recognize和music之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填recognized。 【53题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：在巴西的桑贝斯鼓乐中很容易看到非洲的影响，它是贝斯音乐和各种鼓点的混合。分析句式结构可知，此处是定语从句，先行词是物，且从句中缺少主语，所以用关系代词which来引导。故填which。 【54题详解】 考查动词不定式。句意：当地人的民间音乐与更现代的声音混合在一起，创造了巴西流行音乐。分析句式结构可知，此处用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to create。 【55题详解】 考查副词。句意：音乐无疑是巴西文化的重要组成部分。分析句式结构可知，此处用提示词的副词形式certainly作状语表示“无疑、当然”。故填certainly。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 句子翻译（共5小题；每题3分，满分15分） 56. 把钱花在买高质量的产品上是值得的。(worthwhile, quality) （汉译英） 【答案】It is worthwhile to spend money on products/ goods of high quality. 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词，名词，非谓语动词及句子结构。表示“是值得的”应使用形容词worthwhile，在句中作表语；表示“把钱花在买……上”可使用动词短语spend money on...；表示“高质量的产品”可使用名词短语products/ goods of high quality。分析句子结构，主语部分为较长的一个动词短语，宜使用it作形式主语，动词不定式短语放在后面。故翻译为It is worthwhile to spend money on products/ goods of high quality. 57. 尽管雪下得很大，他还是装扮成一只鹿，然后去邻居家要糖果。 (in spite of；dress up) (汉译英) _____________________________________________________________________ 【答案】In spite of the heavy snow, he was still dressed up as a deer and visited the neighbours’ homes to ask for sweets.## In spite of the heavy snow, he still dressed up as a deer and visited the neighbours’ homes to ask for sweets. 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词、动词、短语和时态。表示“尽管”的英语是介词短语in spite of；“大雪”使用名词短语heavy snow，用作介词of的宾语，构成短语In spite of the heavy snow用作句子的让步状语；“装扮成……”的英语是动词短语be dressed up as / dress up as，用作句子的谓语部分。本句陈述过去事实，应使用一般过去时，主语是he，是第三人称单数形式，所以，谓语应写成was dressed up as/ dressed up as，“仍然”应使用副词still，“鹿”的英语是deer，“去邻居”的英语是动词短语visit the neighbours’ homes，是并列谓语，visit应使用过去式visited，“要糖果”的英语是ask for sweets，用作目的状语，应使用不定式to ask for sweets。故填In spite of the heavy snow, he was still dressed up as a deer and visited the neighbours’ homes to ask for sweets./In spite of the heavy snow, he still dressed up as a deer and visited the neighbours’ homes to ask for sweets. 58. 正如报道的那样，音乐被证明对很多人的生活产生了积极的影响。 (as, 定从；prove) (汉译英) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】As is reported, music has proved to have a positive influence/impact on many people’s lives. 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句、动词和时态。“正如报道的那样”用固定句型as is reported表示，该结构也是由特殊关系代词as引导的定语从句，描述客观事实用一般现在时态；“音乐被证明对很多人的生活产生了积极的影响”是主句，主语“音乐”用不可数名词music，谓语“被证明”可理解为“证明(是)”，用系动词prove，不用被动语态，描述过去的行为对现在的影响，用现在完成时态has proved，“对很多人的生活产生了积极的影响”作表语，用不定式短语to have a positive influence/impact on many people’s lives。综上，全句译为：As is reported, music has proved to have a positive influence/impact on many people’s lives. 59. 当他苏醒过来，他发现自己被一群猎人包围着。 （surround；过去分词）（汉译英） _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】When he came to himself, he found himself surrounded by a crowd of hunters. 【解析】 【详解】考查时间状语从句和非谓语动词。“当他苏醒过来”是时间状语从句，用从属连词when引导，主语“他”用人称代词he表示，谓语“苏醒过来”用动词短语come to oneself，讲述过去的事情用一般过去时态，“他苏醒过来”表达为he came to himself；“他发现自己被一群猎人包围着”是主句，主语“他”用人称代词he，谓语“发现”用动词find，用一般过去时态讲述过去的事情，宾语“自己”用反身代词himself，“被一群猎人包围着”作宾语补足语，用过去分词短语surrounded by a crowd of hunters表示，其中过去分词surrounded与其逻辑主语himself之间是被动关系。综上，全句译为：When he came to himself, he found himself surrounded by a crowd of hunters. 60. 我们需要改掉这些坏习惯的时刻已经到来。 (time的定从；全部倒装；break away) (汉译英) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】There comes a time when we need to break away from such bad habits. 【解析】 【详解】考查固定句型、定语从句和倒装句。“……的时刻已经到来”可用固定句型There comes a time when...表示，谓语动词comes置于主语a time之前，构成全部倒装句型，句中描述当前的状况，使用了一般现在时态；关系副词when引导定语从句修饰先行词a time，从句主语“我们”用人称代词we，谓语“需要”用动词need，宾语“改掉”用动词短语break away from，用不定式形式to break away from作谓语动词need的宾语，“这些坏习惯”作介词宾语，用such bad habits表示。综上，全句译为：There comes a time when we need to break away from such bad habits. 第二节 书面表达（满分15分） 61.
