Paris’s famous urban river will serve as the stage for the Olympic opening ceremony and, if all goes to plan, as a venue for three swimming events. What was once a portal to pleasure—Parisians sunbathing and splashing in the river, modeling bikinis in the Seine-fed Deligny pool—has been banned for more than a century because of river traffic and pollution. But that’s set to change. To demonstrate the river’s safety, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo swam in the river on July 17, ahead of the games. A plunge at the end of June was rescheduled to accommodate elections, Hidalgo said in a press conference. And tests later that month had shown that the river still contained unsafe levels of bacteria, making the mayor’s swim a potential health risk. But organizers remain hopeful the river will stay safe enough for the Olympics to debut a new era for the historic river. “Our objective is an Olympic legacy,” says Pierre Rabadan, the deputy mayor in charge of sport, the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and the Seine. “That you and me or whoever happens to be in Paris can swim in the Seine.” For centuries, the Seine has been a dumping ground for laundry suds, human waste, and animal parts tossed by medieval butchers.   In the 19th century, factory and human wastewater was often discharged directly into the Seine. A revolutionary new Paris sewer system, developed during city planner Baron Haussmann’s seismic urban renewal project throughout the second half of the 19th century was an engineering triumph for Paris, yet toxic for the Seine’s health. 【原创·阅读理解】 1.What is the Seine River expected to host during the 2024 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games?

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】ambition 【详解】考查名词。句意：她的志向是毕业后成为一名艺术家。由句意及空前的Her及空后的is to become an artist after graduation可知应填名词形式ambition，作主语。故填ambition。 2．The instant the ceremony (declare) open, all the students in our school burst into cheers. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】was declared 【详解】考查动词的时态语态和主谓一致。句意：典礼一宣布开始，我们学校所有的学生就欢呼起来。分析句子可知，空处作谓语，结合语境可知，此处在叙述过去发生的事情，时态应用一般过去时，declare“宣布”和主语the ceremony之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，且主语是单数名词，be动词应用was。故填was declared。 3．Over the last seven years, most states (ban) texting by drivers, and public service campaigns have tried a wide range of methods to persuade people to put down their phones when they are behind the wheel. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】have banned 【详解】考查时态。句意：在过去的七年里，大多数州都禁止司机发短信，公共服务活动也尝试了各种各样的方法来说服人们在开车时放下手机。根据上文Over the last seven years可知为现在完成时，主语为most states，助动词用have。故填have banned。 4．The purpose of the meeting is (elect) a new captain. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】to elect 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：会议的目的是选举一位新船长。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里需要用动词不定式作表语，表示目的。故填to elect。 5．My name is Mireya Mayor. I’m a (science) who studies animals such as apes and monkeys.（用单词适当形式填空） 【答案】scientist 【详解】考查名词。句意：我叫Mireya Mayor，我是一名研究像猿类和猴子这类动物的科学家。分析句子可知，句子“who studies animals such as apes and monkeys”在句中作定语，是定语从句，修饰空格处的名词，根据定语从句句意推知，空格处需填表示职业的名词，science作为名词，表示“科学”的意思，需转换为名词scientist，表示“科学家”的意思，由空格前的不定冠词a可知，名词scientist需用单数形式。故填scientist。 6．The study doesn’t note these plant-based alternatives carry similar health risks or not. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】whether 【详解】考查宾语从句。句意：这项研究没有指出这些植物性替代品是否会带来类似的健康风险。分析句子结构可知，空处引导宾语从句。从句中不缺主宾表，且根据句意以及句末的or not可知，空处应填whether“是否”，符合题意。故填whether。 7．The retired presidents of South Korea will always find themselves (charge) with diverse crimes. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】charged 【详解】考查过去分词。句意：退休的韩国总统总是会发现自己被指控多项罪行。分析句子结构可知，此空所在的部分为“find+宾语+宾补”结构，所以此空为非谓语动词作宾补，charge与宾语themselves之间为被动关系，所以此处使用过去分词形式。故填charged。 8．Li Zhangyu, born with (disable), became the champion of the Paralympics, which was very honourable.(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】disabilities　 【详解】考查名词复数。句意：李章宇，一个天生残疾的人，成为了残奥会的冠军，这是非常光荣的。be born with disabilities意为“天生残疾”，为固定搭配，所以此处应用名词复数disabilities表示“残疾”。故填disabilities。 9．I will pick the laundry on the way home. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】up 【详解】考查介词。句意：我回家路上会去拿洗的衣服。短语pick up意为“捡起、拿起、顺路去接”，故填up。 10．The butcher sells all (sort) of meat products such as bacon, roast and sausage. （所给单词适当形式填空） 【答案】sorts 【详解】考查名词复数。句意：肉店出售各种各样的肉制品，如熏肉、烤肉和香肠。根据句意和句中all可知，句中涉及固定短语“all sorts of”，意为“各种各样的”，句中指各种各样的肉制品，sort意为“种类”，为可数名词，sorts为其复数形式。故填sorts。 11．With all the food (purchase), Mrs Clark drove home directly. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】purchased 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：买了所有的食物后，克拉克夫人直接开车回家。purchase作with复合结构中宾语all the food的补足语，是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语all the food之间是被动关系，且表示动作已经完成，应过去分词形式purchased。故填purchased。 12．Throughout history, some of the (origin) customs have changed, but the spirit of the festival has largely been kept.
