The host taps a wine glass with a knife, and people file in, filling the sofas and chairs that are pushed up against the walls. Soon every seat in the house is taken, and a bottle of schnapps is passed around. Lyon Hansen, who minutes before was knocking about in the kitchen, walks over and picks up a guitar and starts to play. Hoyma has begun. For one night, homeowners primarily in Sydrugota, a small town on the Faroe Islands, open their doors, inviting friends, family and tourists in to enjoy intimate (亲密的) concerts by local artists. The tradition dates back nearly 500 years to a time when Faroese life had to move underground due to Danish rule. The culture and the language was kept alive in people’s living rooms, where they gathered to sing and tell stories. The modern Hoyma concert series started as an offshoot (分支) of the G! Festival, an annual musical event on the beaches of Eysturoy every summer since 2002. Around 2007, G! Festival’s creator Jón Tyril, exhausted by all the red tape (繁文缛节) that came with putting on a big music festival, started to dream a little smaller. Specifically, he started to think about tiny concerts held in living rooms—no sound systems or spotlights, the audience made up of as many people as can fit inside a house. The idea resounded in his mind, not only because it didn’t involve any heavy lifting, physically or mentally, but also because it went back to the longstanding Faroese tradition. Since 2007, Hoyma has featured 20 concerts in ten different family homes in Sydrugota. For Laksá, hosting the concerts is not only fun, but a way to give back, and to ensure the islands survive in the modern world. As in many families, her daughters grew up and left the Faroes. “They studied in the U. K. for nine years, but both came back,” she says. “I actually think that Hoyma is partly the reason why many children from this village that go abroad come back. They are proud of it.” 4. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By presenting a scene. B. By evaluating an argument. C. By clarifying a concept. D. By making an assumption. 5. When can the tradition of Hoyma be traced to? A. A stage when the G! Festival was needed by the Faroese. B. A period when only local artists were allowed to perform. C. An occasion when people celebrated the encounters with tourists. D. A time when freedom of the Faroese was limited because of Danish rule. 6. What does Jón Tyril think of home concerts? A. Economical and varied. B. Convenient and entirely original. C Accessible and profitable. D. Simple and culturally attached. 7. What does the author indicate by mentioning Laksá and her daughters? A. Hoyma contributes to the survival of the islands. B Hoyma reflects the affection between mother and children. C. Hoyma is gaining popularity across the globe in modern times. D. Hoyma becomes enter taining with the involvement of the young. 五、（安徽省萧县鹏程中学2023-2024学年高二下学期第一次月考）语法填空 China’s first overpass for wildlife migration has already come into use.

Hoyma becomes enter taining with the involvement of the young. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了法罗群岛的小型家庭音乐会——Hoyma音乐会。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The living room is cleared. The host taps a wine glass with a knife, and people file in, filling the sofas and chairs that are pushed up against the walls. Soon every seat in the house is taken, and a bottle of schnapps is passed around. Lyon Hansen, who minutes before was knocking about in the kitchen, walks over and picks up a guitar and starts to play. Hoyma has begun.(客厅被清空了。主人用刀敲了敲酒杯，人们鱼贯而入，填满了靠墙的沙发和椅子。很快，房子里的每个座位都被占满了，一瓶杜松子酒被传来传去。几分钟前正在厨房里闲逛的Lyon Hansen走了过来，拿起吉他开始演奏。Hoyma已经开始了。)”可知，第一段描写了一场Hoyma小型家庭音乐会开始的场景，从而引出本文要谈论的对象——Hoyma音乐会。故填A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The tradition dates back nearly 500 years to a time when Faroese life had to move underground due to Danish rule.(这一传统可以追溯到近500年前，当时由于丹麦的统治，法罗群岛的生活不得不转入地下。)”可知，Hoyma音乐会的传统可以追溯到丹麦统治时期，当时法罗群岛的人们被限制了自由，不得不转入地下。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Specifically, he started to think about tiny concerts held in living rooms—no sound systems or spotlights, the audience made up of as many people as can fit inside a house. The idea resounded in his mind, not only because it didn’t involve any heavy lifting, physically or mentally, but also because it went back to the longstanding Faroese tradition.(具体来说，他开始考虑在客厅里举行的小型音乐会——没有音响系统或聚光灯，观众由可容纳进房子的尽可能多的人组成。这个想法在他的脑海中回响，不仅因为它不涉及任何身体或精神上吃力的工作，还因为它回到了长期的法罗群岛传统。)”可知，Jón Tyril考虑到了家庭音乐会的简单和文化相关性。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Laksá, hosting the concerts is not only fun, but a way to give back, and to ensure the islands survive in the modern world. As in many families, her daughters grew up and left the Faroes. ‘They studied in the U. K. for nine years, but both came back,’ she says. ‘I actually think that Hoyma is partly the reason why many children from this village that go abroad come back. They are proud of it.’(对Laksá来说，举办音乐会不仅很有趣，也是一种回馈和确保这些岛屿在现代世界中生存下来的方式。和许多家庭一样，她的女儿们长大后离开了法罗群岛。‘他们在英国学习了九年，但都回来了，’她说。‘事实上，我认为Hoyma是这个村庄许多出国的孩子回来的部分原因。他们为此感到骄傲。’)”可知，Laksá认为举办Hoyma音乐会不仅很有趣，也是一种回馈和确保这些岛屿在现代世界中生存下来的方式，并讲述了她的女儿们出国留学后又回到法罗群岛的事情，认为这与Hoyma有密切的关系，由此可推测出，作者提到Laksá和女儿们的事情是为了表明Hoyma帮助法罗群岛在现代生活中生存下来。故选A。 五、（安徽省萧县鹏程中学2023-2024学年高二下学期第一次月考）语法填空 China’s first overpass for wildlife migration has already come into use. The bridge ___56___ (lie) over the newly constructed National Highway 214 is able to link animal habitats which are separated ___57___ the road. ___58___ (cover) with sand-much like the surrounding land, the overpass can fit in with the environment well.

So far, China has put great effort into achieving ____65____ (harmony) coexistence between human development and the protection of wildlife. The Qinghai-Xizang Railway, the world’s highest railroad, has 33 underpasses for migrating animals. 【答案】56. lying 57. by 58. Covered 59. began 60. was based 61. the 62. safely 63. which 64. length 65. harmonious 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国首座野生动物迁徙立交桥投入使用以及它的环保设计。 【56题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：新建的214国道上的这座桥能够把被公路分隔的动物栖息地连接起来。本句已有谓语is，设空处为非谓语动词，修饰名词The bridge作定语，和名词之间是主动关系，应用现在分词，故填lying。 【57题详解】 考查介词。句意：同上。根据句意和语境可知设空处为介词，这里表示被公路分隔，应用介词by，故填by。 58题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：立交桥上覆盖着沙子—就像周围的土地一样，它可以很好地适应环境。本句已有谓语can fit，设空处为非谓语动词，和主语之间是被动关系，应用过去分词作状语，句首单词首字母大写，故填Covered。 【59题详解】 考查时态。句意：这条国道已经建成两年了，在设计时就把环保放在了第一位。设空处为从句谓语， since引导的时间状语从句中从句谓语用一般过去时，主句用现在完成时，故填began。 【60题详解】 考查时态语态。句意：高速公路的一名环境工程师表示，这些人工走廊的建设是基于对该地区野生动物迁徙的多年观察。设空处为从句谓语，根据主句的said，可知应用一般过去时，主语the construction of these man-made corridors(通道)和谓语之间是被动关系，应用被动语态并且谓语应用第三人称单数，故填was based。 【61题详解】 考查冠词。句意：例如，这座桥是根据该地区的自然条件建造的，目的是大大减少高速公路对动物的影响。短语with the purpose of，意为“以……为目的”，符合句意，故填the。 【62题详解】 考查副词。句意：野生动物立交桥和地下通道帮助动物安全地穿过繁忙的道路，并允许它们继续使用它们习惯的路径，否则这些路径将被封锁。设空处修饰crossing over or under busy roadways，应用副词作状语，故填safely。 【63题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：同上。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词their customary paths，关系词在从句中作主语，指物，故填which。 【64题详解】 考查名词。句意：这些通道总长59公里，使羚羊和其他动物可以自由穿越铁路。设空处前有a修饰，应用名词单数，故填length。 【65题详解】 考查形容词。句意：迄今为止，中国一直在努力实现人类发展与保护野生动物的和谐共存。设空处修饰名词coexistence作定语，应用形容词，故填harmonious。 六、（河南省商丘市二十校2023-2024学年高二下学期期中联考）应用文写作 假定你是李华，你的新西兰朋友Jerry来信表示对中国文化很感兴趣，恰逢你校新开设了英文线上课程——“中国戏曲鉴赏（Appreciation of Chinese Opera)”，请你回信向他推荐此课程。内容包括： 1.课程内容； 2.推荐理由。 注意：1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Jerry, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best wishes!
