【分析】本文介绍了真人秀这一电视节目,因为它反映的都是普通人的生活,因而受到美国、中国甚至全世界观众的喜欢。
【19题详解】
句意:通常情况下,真人秀有好多续集。本段内容是对真人秀节目的介绍,根据上下文语境可知本空应填Usually“通常地、通常情况下”。
【20题详解】
句意:真人秀节目与电视上其他种类的节目有很大不同。be different from为固定短语“与…不同”,根据语境及短语可知本空填from。
【21题详解】
句意:它通常也讲述人们日常生活中发生的真实故事。happen为实义动词“发生”,根据语境可判断填happen;从语法角度讲,本句为包含定语从句的复合句,先行词是stories,为复数形式,故定语从句中的谓语动词也应用复数形式,结合语境,故填happen。
【22题详解】
句意:第一个真人秀节目出现在20世纪90年代的美国。appear为实义动词“出现”,根据语境及时间状语in the 1990s,故本空应填appeared。

句意:真人秀也上演不同种类的竞赛。根据后文there is a Chinese reality show called The Voice of China.可知《中国好声音》是选拔冠军的真人秀节目,故前文应填比赛、竞赛。由于被different kinds of修饰,故应使用复数形式competitions。
【25题详解】

【26题详解】
句意:他们的工作是找到最喜爱的学员,并帮助他们成为冠军。前文提到《中国好声音》节目是争夺冠军的真人秀节目,故本空应表示“冠军、赢家”,由于这样的节目冠军往往只有一个,故winner用单数形式,

Disney movies are very popular around the world. You may still remember the characters and stories of Disney movies after many years and think you know Disney movies really well. But there’s one thing about Disney movies you may never know.
From Disney’s earliest cartoon film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, to more recent (最近的) ones like Frozen, many Disney movies lack moms. In Disney movies, Mom dies like Bambi’s mom or simply never appears like The Little Mermaid. Disney movies fans may think about the reason for this strange fact.
③Many people think that the lack of mothers in Disney movies has something to do with the death (死亡) of Walt Disney’s mother in the early 1940s. Many people think that Walt put sadness over his mother’s death into his films. However, many of his movies before his mom’s death also lacked moms. Hahn said lacking mothers is a way to bring out the themes (主题) like growing up in the short movie time. Many movies lasted (持续) long after Walt’s death, like Beauty and the Beast. In these films, main characters lose or leave their parents and they have to grow up and become strong.
We never know if Walt’s mother’s death made a difference to the mother’s in Disney films, but it seems like it’s a common fact.

A smile is the best language. The truth of a smile is that it’s like a seed that can grow in a garden called “life”.
If there is one thing I have missed the most is the past 3 years, it is to see other people smile. When every face has a mask (口罩) on it, you might feel safer. But your mind might start to feel sick. Over these last months, I’ve learned to notice the “stars” in people’s eyes that they still have when they smile from behind a mask. Still, it isn’t quite the same.
Every smile is like a gift. As I grow up, my mom’s smile always warms my heart. I am so happy that it appears on the faces of my children. My grandparents’ smile always has a happy “Hello!” along with it. My dad hardly smiles to us, but I always loved seeing it.
Over the years, I have also learned a lot about smiles. I have read that “We don’t smile because we are happy. We are happy because we smile.” I also read that
“I have never seen a smiling face that wasn’t beautiful.” And I know that both of these things were true. What I remember most, though, is something from my teacher. He said, “If nobody wants us to be happy, why does smiling feel so good?”
It doesn’t matter is you are wearing a mask or not. It doesn’t matter if your teeth are white or not. Show the world your smile. Smiles share our love. Smiles spread our joy. Smilles make the world’s better place. One of the greatest, kindness and most loving things you can do is to give another person your smile.
41. What does the writer tell us in Paragraph 2?
A. Smile with “stars” in our eyes, or we’ll feel sick.
B. The more we smile, the more happiness we’ll get.
C. A smiling face behind a mask is different but happy.
D. We can bring out the best to make our friend smile.
42. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Mom’s smile B. Grandma’s smile.
C. Dad’s smile D. Grandpa’s smile
43. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
44. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Smile to yourself every morning.
B. It’s meaningless to smile with a mask.
C. Never show your smile to strangers.
D. Try to share your smile with the world.
【答案】41. C 42. C 43. A 44. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述微笑在生活中的重要性。

Disney movies are very popular around the world. You may still remember the characters and stories of Disney movies after many years and think you know Disney movies really well. But there’s one thing about Disney movies you may never know.
From Disney’s earliest cartoon film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, to more recent (最近的) ones like Frozen, many Disney movies lack moms. In Disney movies, Mom dies like Bambi’s mom or simply never appears like The Little Mermaid. Disney movies fans may think about the reason for this strange fact.
③Many people think that the lack of mothers in Disney movies has something to do with the death (死亡) of Walt Disney’s mother in the early 1940s. Many people think that Walt put sadness over his mother’s death into his films. However, many of his movies before his mom’s death also lacked moms. Hahn said lacking mothers is a way to bring out the themes (主题) like growing up in the short movie time. Many movies lasted (持续) long after Walt’s death, like Beauty and the Beast. In these films, main characters lose or leave their parents and they have to grow up and become strong.
We never know if Walt’s mother’s death made a difference to the mother’s in Disney films, but it seems like it’s a common fact.
29. What do Hahn’s words in the third paragragh (段落) tell us?
A. Main characters must grow up in a short time in Disney movies.
B. Lacking moms is a way to show the main idea of Disney movies in a short time.
C. The theme of Disney movies is growing up without parents.
D. Successful Disney movies should lack moms.
30. What can we know from the passage?
A. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs came out later than Frozen.
B. Walt Disney’s mother died about 90 years ago.
C. Walt Disney started to make films after his mother’s death.
D. Beauty and the Beast came out after Walt’s death.
31. The purpose (目的) of this passage is to ________.
A. show some great Disney movies to us
B. show how Walt Disney made Disney movies
C. let us know why Disney movies are popular
D. tell us why we hardly see moms in Disney movies
B

It’s hard to stop kids from watching TV now. Most people in the house usually watch TV. Some parents don’t let their kids watch TV so that they can get more time to do housework. Should kids watch TV? Different people have different ideas.
Some people thinks watching TV is not good for kids. If a kid spends too much time watching TV, he won’t have enough time to play with others. A kid learns a lot more from others than TV. Some people even think the kids who watch too much TV are not as clever as those who don’t.
But others don’t think so. They think some TV shows can be creative and educational (有教育意义的). It can be better than books in teaching kids about processes (过程) like how to plant trees or how to make a cake. A study shows that the kids who watch educational shows can do better in reading and maths than those who don’t. Kids who watch educational shows before going to school may watch more educational shows when they get older. They can use what they learned from TV to help their school learning.
What are your ideas about watching TV? Which side are you on?
38. Why do some people think watching TV is not good for kids?
A. Because kids can learn nothing from TV.
B Because kids will have less time to play with others.
C. Because kids aren’t clever after watching TV.

B. The kids can get more time to do housework.
C. The kids can do better in reading and maths.
D. The kids are excited and have different ideas.

C. Why should kids watch TV? D. What can kids learn from TV?

A smile is the best language. The truth of a smile is that it’s like a seed that can grow in a garden called “life”.
If there is one thing I have missed the most is the past 3 years, it is to see other people smile. When every face has a mask (口罩) on it, you might feel safer. But your mind might start to feel sick. Over these last months, I’ve learned to notice the “stars” in people’s eyes that they still have when they smile from behind a mask. Still, it isn’t quite the same.
Every smile is like a gift. As I grow up, my mom’s smile always warms my heart. I am so happy that it appears on the faces of my children. My grandparents’ smile always has a happy “Hello!” along with it. My dad hardly smiles to us, but I always loved seeing it.
Over the years, I have also learned a lot about smiles. I have read that “We don’t smile because we are happy. We are happy because we smile.” I also read that
“I have never seen a smiling face that wasn’t beautiful.” And I know that both of these things were true. What I remember most, though, is something from my teacher. He said, “If nobody wants us to be happy, why does smiling feel so good?”
It doesn’t matter is you are wearing a mask or not. It doesn’t matter if your teeth are white or not. Show the world your smile. Smiles share our love. Smiles spread our joy. Smilles make the world’s better place. One of the greatest, kindness and most loving things you can do is to give another person your smile.
41. What does the writer tell us in Paragraph 2?
A. Smile with “stars” in our eyes, or we’ll feel sick.
B. The more we smile, the more happiness we’ll get.
C. A smiling face behind a mask is different but happy.
D. We can bring out the best to make our friend smile.
42. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Mom’s smile B. Grandma’s smile.
C. Dad’s smile D. Grandpa’s smile
43. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
44. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Smile to yourself every morning.
B. It’s meaningless to smile with a mask.
C. Never show your smile to strangers.
D. Try to share your smile with the world.
