With summer holiday just around the corner, it’s time to find some good books to read. Here are some you might like to try.
The Big Miss ($9)
The author had been Tiger Woods’ coach for six years, and the book is a behind-the-scenes look into the famous golfer’s private life. One reader wrote on Amazon.com, “I’m a big Tiger fan, and I read this in one sitting. Brilliant!”
The Hunger Games ($15)
The story is set in a post-apocalyptic (世界末日后的) future. Most people are very poor. Every year, there’s a game show called “The Hunger Games” in which 18 teenagers are sent into the wild to battle it out until only one survives. The book has just been made into a highly successful Hollywood movie.
Imagine How Creativity Works ($14)
This is a very fun and convincing book about the creative parts of our brain. It looks at people such as Bob Dylan and the man who invented post-it notes and asks why they were so creatively successful. The author writes “Once we know how creativity works, we can make it work for us.”
The Venice Experiment: A Year of Trial and Error Living Abroad ($12)
A few years ago, real-life American couple Barry and Debbie decided to escape the rat race and live in Venice for a year. This is the story of their experiences there and it’s full of funny anecdotes about their struggle to adapt to the Venetian lifestyle. A fellow author said, “For anyone thinking of an overseas adventure, The Venice Experiment is a laugh-out-loud read.”

I write this on a spring morning, in the van I have called home for two years now.
From one small window, I have a view of joggers pounding the sunny path by the Oxford Canal, and the other looks onto the busy railway line along which trains travel from Southampton Docks to Birmingham.
The woods where I’ve parked my van have grown up between them. This ancient van, a vehicle designed for freedom and the open road, has proved a stable solution for surviving the current housing crisis.
I became a travel writer after my studies ended, committing to brief “residencies” with museums and artcentres — where temporary accommodation is often provided in exchange for producing new work about a community. Over the years that followed, living and working on location in the polar regions or Scandinavia or the Alps, not settling down for very long, meant wherever I landed was always “home”.
During the pandemic it was necessary to adopt a more permanent engagement with locality. Oxford had often drawn me back. It’s a crossroads of reality and the imagination, the perfect city for a writer.
It takes a surprising amount of work to keep a tiny home in order: buying a used van online; ensuring the smooth running of a gas cooker and car batteries; fetching water and emptying the mobile toilet. I began to enjoy taking care of my immediate surroundings. Over the summer, I worked to turn waste- ground into a wild garden, replacing weeds with wild plants.
I made friends with the self-sufficient boaters living nearby, always ready to share knowledge on the low-carbon simplicity of life without electricity. I’ve learnt that comfort can be found away from the bright infrastructure of urban life: in watching the birds that nest in the tree and the foxes playing in the woods at dawn, in making a cup of coffee on a spring morning. My step away from conventional housing has been a necessary act of personal economy, but the benefits include taking nothing for granted, and unexpected delight.
4. What do the joggers and the railway line represent in the author’s view?
A. Two sources of inspiration for writing. B. Two ways the author travels around.
C. Two places the author visits regularly. D. Two obstacles to the author’s daily life.
5. Why did the writer make the van his home?
A. Because the feature of the van and that of his occupation are matching.
B. Because the van is equivalent to a crossroads of reality and the imagination.
C. Because the views of joggers and trains outside the van can relieve his pressure.
D. Because living and working on location in the polar regions are appealing to him.
6. What does the underlined phrase “immediate surroundings” in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A. A used van. B. A gas cooker. C. A wild garden. D. A mobile toilet.
7. Which of the following is the main benefit of unconventional housing?
A. Providing temporary shelter. B. Keeping a tiny home in order easily.
C. Embracing delightful surprises. D. Allowing for mobility and flexibility.
C
Wrapping paper — that thing that makes our holiday gifts look so festive — has a landfill problem. If it’s shiny, metallic, or glitter-encrusted (闪闪发光的), it’s not recyclable. And even recycled paper isn’t guaranteed to actually get recycled. But there’s an alternative, eco-friendlier option that some are turning to this holiday season: the Japanese art of wrapping packages in cloth, known as furoshiki.
Furoshiki refers to both the square cloth itself and the wrapping technique. The practice dates back hundreds of years when people started using cloth bundles to carry items to and from public baths. Eventually, it evolved into a wrapping art form. People don’t just wrap presents with the cloth, but an endless number of small items like boxes, fruit, and books. When it was used to wrap gifts, Tsukada Simonian says traditionally, the furoshiki cloth would be returned to the gift giver to be used again and again.
The tradition went out of fashion as paper and plastic substitutes took off in the post World War II period. It’s something “you would see at grandma’s house”, says Tomoko Dyen, who teaches furoshiki wrapping technique in Los Angeles.
But recently, she says, it’s been regaining popularity. As more tourists have learned about it while visiting Japan, Dye n says it’s encouraged the next generation to “learn more about ourselves”.
Furoshiki doesn’t necessarily require specific furoshiki cloth, says Vander Steur. She stocks the museum store with imported Japanese furoshiki cloth including patterns with flowers, cats, and otters, but she says any piece of fabric, even old clothes, can work.
Some of the learners showed up specifically hoping to learn furoshiki for holiday wrapping. But some say they walked away hoping to use it for much more. Kristan Delatori attended with the plan to wrap her holiday gifts this way — but now she says she’ll bring furoshiki with her when she runs quick errands (差事). “Being able to put a couple of these into my bag and always having something when I go to the grocery store or go shopping,” says Delatori. “I’m really excited.”
8. What can we learn about furoshiki from the first two paragraphs?
A. It was initially used to carry items when people took baths.
B It would be sent as a part of the gift to the receivers for use.
C. It looks more festive than wrapping paper and metallic wrappers.
D. It refers to the square cloth itself that is only used to wrap presents.
9. What contributes to the revival of furoshiki in recent years?
A. The effort of the last generation. B. The attention from more visitors.
C. The unique charm of furoshiki itself. D. The support of the local government.
10. Which word best describes Kristan Delatori’s attitude to furoshiki?
A. Conservative. B. Unclear. C. Skeptical. D. Favorable.
11. What is the best title of the text?
A. Japan: A Nation with Various Traditional Art Forms
B. Furoshiki: The Very Thing Bearing the Lost Memory
C. Furoshiki: An Eco-Friendlier Choice for Holiday Wrapping
D. Wrapping Paper: A Recyclable Material Gaining Popularity
D
That artificial food dyes are unhealthy is not news. Some of the most common additives used to give color to everything are known to affect some children’s ability to learn. But regulatory agencies around the world don’t necessarily agree. That may soon change, thanks in part to increasing consumer pressure. In addition, a report prepared by the state of California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) concluded that synthetic food dyes “cause or exacerbate neurobehavioral problems in some children”.
In response to the report, California is now considering requiring warning labels on food products containing the seven most commonly used synthetic dyes. Among them are Red 40, Yellow 5 and Yellow 6, which account for more than 90% of food dye. Restaurants in California would also have to identify menu items containing the additives.
“The science is clear,” says Lisa Lefferts, an environmental health consultant. “These synthetic dyes harm children and are completely unnecessary.”
What makes the OEHHA report a game change r is that a regulatory agency is on the same page as scientists and advocacy groups. “That’s largely because of the quality of the report,” says Lefferts, one of 10 original signatories to the petition.
Synthetic dyes are used in foods for one reason: to make products look prettier. Someone likens the practice to “putting cosmetics on food”. Bright colors and fun shapes make candies and cereals appealing, especially to kids.
As more research has emerged, consumer pressure has led companies to reenact products. In 2016, the company began using things like turmeric instead of Yellow 5 and Yellow 6.
Around the same time, Chipotle, NestléUSA and a number of other restaurants and manufacturers announced plans to cut back on or stop using synthetic dyes.
12. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. The use of artificial food dyes is increasing.
B. All the regulatory agencies are against the food dyes.
C. The agencies don’t know why food dyes are a problem.
D. Consumers have given pressure to decrease the use of artificial food dyes.
13. Why does OEHHA have power to change the use of artificial food dyes?
A. OEHHA prepared an excellent report to state the use of food dyes.
B. The government in California support OEHHA to change this situation.
C. OEHHA is an organization which can determine the ingredients in food.
D. The excellent report put scientists and advocacy groups keep in line with OEHHA.
14. Which word can replace the underlined word “reenact”?
A. Restructure. B. Define. C. Research. D. Design.
15. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Some scientists don’t agree on using food dyes.
B. The use of artificial food dyes may soon change.
C. OEHHA prepared a report to avoid using food dyes.
D. OEHHA has made clear the reason why food dyes are used in food.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Hurry up, Colin!” Mum shouted from the hallway. “If we don’t get going now, you will be late for school.” Colin was sitting on the edge of his bed, looking down at his feet. Taking a deep breath, Colin slowly stood up and collected his schoolbooks. After putting them in his bag, he took a long look around his bedroom and went to join his mum. “Are you all right, Colin?” Mum asked with obvious concern. “Your father and I have noticed you’ve become very quiet recently and that you don’t laugh as much as you used to. Is everything OK at school?” Colin looked into his mum’s troubled face as she put a comforting arm around his shoulders.“ Don’t worry, Mum. Everything’s good,” he replied with a weak smile. Mum drove Colin to school, who sat in the back seat in silence all the way. Colin watched the world pass by, deep in thought.
He used to love going to school and he was always the one who would tell his mum to hurry up. As he stared out of the car window, he remembered that there was a time when he couldn’t wait to get to school and meet up with his friends. But things were different now. Colin didn’t understand why things had changed or what he had done wrong. All he knew was that a group of older boys had started to make fun of him. They would call him names and push him when nobody was looking. They would hide his books so that he would get into trouble with his teachers. One day, they even put his bag outside when it was raining so that all his books got wet. When the car eventually arrived at the school, Colin quickly brushed away silent tears and slowly got out of the car.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1: As Colin walked into the school, he decided that he must do something to change the situation.

Paragraph 2: From then on, Colin felt a change in his life.

I write this on a spring morning, in the van I have called home for two years now.
From one small window, I have a view of joggers pounding the sunny path by the Oxford Canal, and the other looks onto the busy railway line along which trains travel from Southampton Docks to Birmingham.
The woods where I’ve parked my van have grown up between them. This ancient van, a vehicle designed for freedom and the open road, has proved a stable solution for surviving the current housing crisis.
I became a travel writer after my studies ended, committing to brief “residencies” with museums and artcentres — where temporary accommodation is often provided in exchange for producing new work about a community. Over the years that followed, living and working on location in the polar regions or Scandinavia or the Alps, not settling down for very long, meant wherever I landed was always “home”.
During the pandemic it was necessary to adopt a more permanent engagement with locality. Oxford had often drawn me back. It’s a crossroads of reality and the imagination, the perfect city for a writer.
It takes a surprising amount of work to keep a tiny home in order: buying a used van online; ensuring the smooth running of a gas cooker and car batteries; fetching water and emptying the mobile toilet. I began to enjoy taking care of my immediate surroundings. Over the summer, I worked to turn waste- ground into a wild garden, replacing weeds with wild plants.
I made friends with the self-sufficient boaters living nearby, always ready to share knowledge on the low-carbon simplicity of life without electricity. I’ve learnt that comfort can be found away from the bright infrastructure of urban life: in watching the birds that nest in the tree and the foxes playing in the woods at dawn, in making a cup of coffee on a spring morning. My step away from conventional housing has been a necessary act of personal economy, but the benefits include taking nothing for granted, and unexpected delight.
4. What do the joggers and the railway line represent in the author’s view?
A. Two sources of inspiration for writing. B. Two ways the author travels around.
C. Two places the author visits regularly. D. Two obstacles to the author’s daily life.
5. Why did the writer make the van his home?
A. Because the feature of the van and that of his occupation are matching.
B. Because the van is equivalent to a crossroads of reality and the imagination.
C. Because the views of joggers and trains outside the van can relieve his pressure.
D. Because living and working on location in the polar regions are appealing to him.
6. What does the underlined phrase “immediate surroundings” in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A. A used van. B. A gas cooker. C. A wild garden. D. A mobile toilet.
7. Which of the following is the main benefit of unconventional housing?
A. Providing temporary shelter. B. Keeping a tiny home in order easily.
C. Embracing delightful surprises. D. Allowing for mobility and flexibility.
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C 7. C

【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“From one small window, I have a view of joggers pounding the sunny path by the Oxford Canal, and the other looks onto the busy railway line along which trains travel from Southampton Docks to Birmingham.(从一扇小窗户看出去,我可以看到慢跑者在牛津运河边的阳光明媚的小路上奔跑,另一扇窗户则可以看大从南安普顿码头到伯明翰的繁忙的铁路线。)”以及第五段“Oxford had often drawn me back. It’s a crossroads of reality and the imagination, the perfect city for a writer.(牛津经常把我吸引回去。这是现实和想象的十字路口,是作家完美的城市。)”可知,作者可以看到慢跑者在牛津运河上奔跑,牛津是现实和想象的十字路口,是适合作家的完美城市,故作者将慢跑者和铁路线看作是写作的两条灵感线,故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段第二句“This ancient van, a vehicle designed for freedom and the open road, has proved a stable solution for surviving the current housing crisis. (这辆古老的面包车是为自由和开放道路而设计的,事实证明它是度过当前住房危机的稳定的解决方案)”和第四段“I became a travel writer after my studies ended, committing to brief “residencies” with museums and art centres — where temporary accommodation is often provided in exchange for producing new work about a community. (学业结束后,我成为了一名旅行作家,致力于在博物馆和艺术中心进行短暂的“驻留”——在那里,通常会提供临时住宿,以换取创作关于社区的新作品。)”可知,面包车自由和开放的特征和作者作为旅行作家的职业是相匹配的,所以作者选择将面包车当家。故选A项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第六段最后一句“Over the summer, I worked to turn waste-ground into a wild garden, replacing weeds with wild plants.(整个夏天,我努力把荒地变成野生花园,用野生植物代替杂草)”可知,“immediate surroundings”面包车周围环境指的是a wild garden。故选C项。

C
Wrapping paper — that thing that makes our holiday gifts look so festive — has a landfill problem. If it’s shiny, metallic, or glitter-encrusted (闪闪发光的), it’s not recyclable. And even recycled paper isn’t guaranteed to actually get recycled. But there’s an alternative, eco-friendlier option that some are turning to this holiday season: the Japanese art of wrapping packages in cloth, known as furoshiki.
Furoshiki refers to both the square cloth itself and the wrapping technique. The practice dates back hundreds of years, when people started using cloth bundles to carry items to and from public baths. Eventually, it evolved into a wrapping art form. People don’t just wrap presents with the cloth, but an endless number of small items like boxes, fruit, and books. When it was used to wrap gifts, Tsukada Simonian says traditionally, the furoshiki cloth would be returned to the gift giver to be used again and again.
The tradition went out of fashion as paper and plastic substitutes took off in the post World War II period. It’s something “you would see at grandma’s house”, says Tomoko Dyen, who teaches furoshiki wrapping technique in Los Angeles.
But recently, she says, it’s been regaining popularity. As more tourists have learned about it while visiting Japan, Dye n says it’s encouraged the next generation to “learn more about ourselves”.
Furoshiki doesn’t necessarily require specific furoshiki cloth, says Vander Steur. She stocks the museum store with imported Japanese furoshiki cloth including patterns with flowers, cats, and otters, but she says any piece of fabric, even old clothes, can work.
Some of the learners showed up specifically hoping to learn furoshiki for holiday wrapping. But some say they walked away hoping to use it for much more. Kristan Delatori attended with the plan to wrap her holiday gifts this way — but now she says she’ll bring furoshiki with her when she runs quick errands (差事). “Being able to put a couple of these into my bag and always having something when I go to the grocery store or go shopping,” says Delatori. “I’m really excited.”
8. What can we learn about furoshiki from the first two paragraphs?
A. It was initially used to carry items when people took baths.
B. It would be sent as a part of the gift to the receivers for use.
C. It looks more festive than wrapping paper and metallic wrappers.
D. It refers to the square cloth itself that is only used to wrap presents.
9. What contributes to the revival of furoshiki in recent years?
A. The effort of the last generation. B. The attention from more visitors.
C. The unique charm of furoshiki itself. D. The support of the local government.
10. Which word best describes Kristan Delatori’s attitude to furoshiki?
A. Conservative. B. Unclear. C. Skeptical. D. Favorable.
11. What is the best title of the text?
A. Japan: A Nation with Various Traditional Art Forms
B. Furoshiki: The Very Thing Bearing the Lost Memory
C. Furoshiki: An Eco-Friendlier Choice for Holiday Wrapping
D. Wrapping Paper: A Recyclable Material Gaining Popularity
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了更环保的布包装艺术furoshiki。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Furoshiki refers to both the square cloth itself and the wrapping technique. The practice dates back hundreds of years, when people started using cloth bundles to carry items to and from public baths. (furoshiki指的是方形布料本身和包裹技术。这种做法可以追溯到几百年前,当时人们开始用布包携带物品进出公共浴室。)”可知,它最初是人们洗澡时用来携带物品的。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“But recently, she says, it’s been regaining popularity. As more tourists have learned about it while visiting Japan, Dyen says it’s encouraged the next generation to “learn more about ourselves”. (但最近,她说,它又开始流行起来。随着越来越多的游客在访问日本时了解到它,Dyen说这鼓励了下一代“更多地了解我们自己”。)”可知,近年来,越来越多的游客的关注有助于furoshiki的复兴。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““Being able to put a couple of these into my bag and always having something when I go to the grocery store or go shopping,” says Delatori. “I’m really excited.” (我可以在包里放几个这样的东西,当我去杂货店或去购物的时候,我总是有一些东西,Delator说。我真的很兴奋。)”可知,Kristan Delatori对furroshiki的态度是赞成的。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“But there’s an alternative, eco-friendlier option that some are turning to this holiday season: the Japanese art of wrapping packages in cloth, known as furoshiki. (但在这个假期,有些人选择了另一种更环保的选择:日本的布包装艺术,被称为furoshiki。)”及全文内容可知,本文主要介绍了更环保的布包装艺术。C项符合主题,故选C。

That artificial food dyes are unhealthy is not news. Some of the most common additives used to give color to everything are known to affect some children’s ability to learn. But regulatory agencies around the world don’t necessarily agree. That may soon change, thanks in part to increasing consumer pressure. In addition, a report prepared by the state of California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) concluded that synthetic food dyes “cause or exacerbate neurobehavioral problems in some children”.
In response to the report, California is now considering requiring warning labels on food products containing the seven most commonly used synthetic dyes. Among them are Red 40, Yellow 5 and Yellow 6, which account for more than 90% of food dye. Restaurants in California would also have to identify menu items containing the additives.
“The science is clear,” says Lisa Lefferts, an environmental health consultant. “These synthetic dyes harm children and are completely unnecessary.”
What makes the OEHHA report a game change r is that a regulatory agency is on the same page as scientists and advocacy groups. “That’s largely because of the quality of the report,” says Lefferts, one of 10 original signatories to the petition.
Synthetic dyes are used in foods for one reason: to make products look prettier. Someone likens the practice to “putting cosmetics on food”. Bright colors and fun shapes make candies and cereals appealing, especially to kids.
As more research has emerged, consumer pressure has led companies to reenact products. In 2016, the company began using things like turmeric instead of Yellow 5 and Yellow 6.
Around the same time, Chipotle, NestléUSA and a number of other restaurants and manufacturers announced plans to cut back on or stop using synthetic dyes.
12. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. The use of artificial food dyes is increasing.
B. All the regulatory agencies are against the food dyes.
C. The agencies don’t know why food dyes are a problem.
D. Consumers have given pressure to decrease the use of artificial food dyes.
13. Why does OEHHA have power to change the use of artificial food dyes?
A. OEHHA prepared an excellent report to state the use of food dyes.
B. The government in California support OEHHA to change this situation.
C. OEHHA is an organization which can determine the ingredients in food.
D. The excellent report put scientists and advocacy groups keep in line with OEHHA.
14. Which word can replace the underlined word “reenact”?
A. Restructure. B. Define. C. Research. D. Design.
15. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Some scientists don’t agree on using food dyes.
B. The use of artificial food dyes may soon change.
C. OEHHA prepared a report to avoid using food dyes.
D. OEHHA has made clear the reason why food dyes are used in food.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了人工食用色素可能对儿童造成危害,且越来越多的消费者和企业开始关注并减少使用人工食用色素,一些地方也开始考虑要求含有常见人工食用色素的食品贴上警告标签。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“That artificial food dyes are unhealthy is not news. Some of the most common additives used to give color to everything are known to affect some children’s ability to learn.(人造食品色素不健康并不是新闻。一些最常见的添加剂被用来给所有的东西上色,众所周知,它们会影响一些孩子的学习能力)”可知,从第一段我们能了解到人工食用染料的使用正在明显增加。需要注意易混项C项,时态不正确,通过第一段可知,消费者的压力将来可能会减少人工食用色素的使用,但是不是当下。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“What makes the OEHHA report a game change r is that a regulatory agency is on the same page as scientists and advocacy groups. “That’s largely because of the quality of the report,” says Lefferts, one of 10 original signatories to the petition.(OEHHA的报告改变了游戏规则,因为监管机构与科学家和倡导团体站在了同一战线上。“这在很大程度上是因为报告的质量,”Lefferts说,他是请愿书的10个原始签署人之一)”可知, OEHHA有权改变人工食用色素的使用是因为这份优秀的报告使科学家和倡导团体与OEHHA保持一致。故选D。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“As more research has emerged, consumer pressure has led companies to(随着越来越多的研究浮出水面,消费者的压力促使企业……)”以及后文“In 2016, the company began using things like turmeric instead of Yellow 5 and Yellow 6.(2016年,该公司开始使用姜黄等物质代替黄5和黄6)”可知,随着越来越多的研究浮出水面,消费者的压力促使企业重新调整产品的设计。故划线词意思是“调整结构,重组”。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“That artificial food dyes are unhealthy is not news. Some of the most common additives used to give color to everything are known to affect some children’s ability to learn. But regulatory agencies around the world don’t necessarily agree. That may soon change, thanks in part to increasing consumer pressure.(人造食品色素不健康并不是新闻。一些最常见的添加剂被用来给所有的东西上色,众所周知,它们会影响一些孩子的学习能力。但世界各地的监管机构并不一定同意这种说法。这种情况可能很快就会改变,部分原因是日益增长的消费者压力)”结合本文主要讲述了人工食用色素可能对儿童造成危害,且越来越多的消费者和企业开始关注并减少使用人工食用色素,一些地方也开始考虑要求含有常见人工食用色素的食品贴上警告标签。可知,这篇文章的主旨是人工食用色素的使用可能很快就会改变。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了中国近代建筑史学家、诗人、作家林徽因,作为现代中国女性的榜样人物,在国外的主要求学经历和在中国近现代建筑史上取得的重大成就。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意:中国建筑师、作家林徽因被美国宾夕法尼亚大学魏茨曼设计学院追授建筑学士学位,以表彰她作为中国现代建筑先驱的杰出贡献。此处为名词作宾语,recognize的名词为recognition意为“赞誉,赏识”,in recognition of意为“为表彰……”符合句意。故填recognition。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:魏茨曼设计学院的院长Fritz Steiner在评论这一决定时说:“所有来自中国的男性都获得了全额奖学金,林徽因获得了一半的奖学金。她是唯一一位被学校拒绝授予建筑学学位的女性和学生。”该句中said为谓语动词,空处需填非谓语动词,院长Fritz Steiner和comment为主谓关系,需用现在分词作状语,位于句首,首字母大写。故填Commenting。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:魏茨曼设计学院的院长Fritz Steiner在评论这一决定时说:“所有来自中国的男性都获得了全额奖学金,林徽因获得了一半的奖学金。她是唯一一位被学校拒绝授予建筑学学位的女性和学生。”此处为定语从句中的谓语,根据句意以及主句中的谓语动词was可知,此处描述过去发生的事情,用一般过去时,且与主语who指代的student之间为被动关系,所以此处使用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was denied。
【39题详解】
考查状语从句。句意:10年后,这所大学才开始向女性颁发建筑学位。此处为固定句型“it be+时间段+before…”意为“多长时间之后才……”符合句意,所以此处应为before引导的时间状语从句。故填before。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:由于她的入学申请被拒,她不得不在唯一接受女生的院系 —— 美术学院学习。此处为限制性定语从句修饰先行词the only department,在从句中作主语,且先行词被the only修饰,用that引导定语从句从句。故填that。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意:除了完成她的艺术课程和大部分的建筑必修课程外,她还担任建筑设计的助教,在学业上优于大多数男性同龄人。空后是名词,所以空处应填形容词作定语,require的形容词形式是required意为“必修的”。故填required。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意:除了完成她的艺术课程和大部分的建筑必修课程外,她还担任建筑设计的助教,在学业上优于大多数男性同龄人。此处用副词修饰动词,作状语,academic的副词形式为academically意为“在学术上”符合句意。故填academically。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:回国后,作为中国近代第一位女建筑师,她不顾战争和疾病,在建筑史、设计和教育方面都取得了巨大的成功。此处是固定搭配:achieve success in意为“在……方面取得了成功”。故填in。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:林的传奇故事现在已经为一代又一代的年轻人所熟知。空后是名词,所以空处应填形容词作定语,legend的形容词形式是legendary意为“传奇的”。故填legendary。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这不仅是一个关于中国女性如何突破刻板印象和历史限制的故事,也是现代中国女性的榜样。model为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,所以使用冠词,结合句意,此处表示“一个榜样”应为泛指,所以此处使用不定冠词,role的首个音素为辅音,所以使用不定冠词a。故填a。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Hurry up, Colin!” Mum shouted from the hallway. “If we don’t get going now, you will be late for school.” Colin was sitting on the edge of his bed, looking down at his feet. Taking a deep breath, Colin slowly stood up and collected his schoolbooks. After putting them in his bag, he took a long look around his bedroom and went to join his mum. “Are you all right, Colin?” Mum asked with obvious concern. “Your father and I have noticed you’ve become very quiet recently and that you don’t laugh as much as you used to. Is everything OK at school?” Colin looked into his mum’s troubled face as she put a comforting arm around his shoulders.“ Don’t worry, Mum. Everything’s good,” he replied with a weak smile. Mum drove Colin to school, who sat in the back seat in silence all the way. Colin watched the world pass by, deep in thought.
He used to love going to school and he was always the one who would tell his mum to hurry up. As he stared out of the car window, he remembered that there was a time when he couldn’t wait to get to school and meet up with his friends. But things were different now. Colin didn’t understand why things had changed or what he had done wrong. All he knew was that a group of older boys had started to make fun of him. They would call him names and push him when nobody was looking. They would hide his books so that he would get into trouble with his teachers. One day, they even put his bag outside when it was raining so that all his books got wet. When the car eventually arrived at the school, Colin quickly brushed away silent tears and slowly got out of the car.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1: As Colin walked into the school, he decided that he must do something to change the situation.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: From then on, Colin felt a change in his life.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
As Colin walked into the school, he decided that he must do something to change the situation. He knew he couldn’t put up with suffering in silence. That afternoon, after school, he walked home slowly, planning to talk to his parents about what was happening. When he got home, he bravely told his parents everything. They listened carefully and comforted him, promising to speak to his teachers about it. The next day, Colin’s teacher talked to the older boys and stood up for him.
From then on, Colin felt a change in his life. The school administration took swift action, speaking to the bullies and implementing a stricter anti-bullying policy, which led to a pleasant consequence. Colin’s newfound friends stood by him, offering their support and helping to create a more inclusive environment. Over time, the bullies’ behavior diminished, and Colin regained his sense of joy and belonging at school. He started laughing again and even regained his role as the kid who was always eager to go to school. His parents noticed the positive change and were relieved to see their son thriving once more. Colin’s experience taught him the importance of resilience and the power of a supportive community.
