第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
One day last January, my classroom was full of nervous atmosphere as 15 teenagers prepared to lock their smartphones in a cabinet (柜子) and stop all Internet use for the next two weeks. The ceremony kicked off a class I taught called Logging Off. During the rest of the school year, I taught high school chemistry, but this mini-course gave my students and me a chance to examine the role of technology in our lives.
When the time came to power down, many students were eager to be free of their phones, while others held onto their phones like a favorite stuffed animal. Their emotions seemed to range from worry (“How will I talk with my friends?”) to expectation (“I can’t wait to read more books.”).
Over the next few days, the students showed a surprising source of anxiety. Without their phones, they weren’t sure what to do when there was nothing to do. That’s when it hit me: I long for the kind of time alone with my thoughts that my students feared. I use these moments to replay a difficult conversation until I know where it went wrong or imagine myself living abroad. I stare at a person sitting nearby and invent the story of her life.
As we closed in on the final days of the course, I noticed a change in the kids’ attitude. Their anxiety faded. They went for walks, composed music, and played board games with younger sisters and brothers. They experienced life in the moment.
On the last day, when I returned their phones, I expected the kids to power up immediately and go straight to social media. Instead, most of them left the classroom with screens still dark, saying they wanted to see how long they could wait.
I know the pull of the digital world is strong, but I’m hoping the brief break from near-constant connectivity has shown my students that they have a choice in what to do in their downtime, while they’re waiting in line for coffee or walking home. I hope they seize the precious chance to daydream.
21. What did the author’s 15 students decide to do?
A. Put more effort into chemistry. B. Put their phones aside for 14 days.
C Disconnect themselves from each other. D. Live without the Internet for a school year.
22. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Students’ thoughts about technology.
B. Students’ expectations of the mini-course.
C Students’ different reactions at the beginning stage.
D. Students’ emotions at the end of the mini-course.
23. What does the author like doing in her moments alone?
A. Making up stories. B. Imagining her future life.
C. Preparing for overseas travel. D. Reflecting on a funny conversation.
24. What did most students do when they got their phones back?
A. They kept their phones switched off.
B. They went straight back to social media.
C. They made changes to their phone screens.
D. They had their phones recharged immediately.
25. Which of the following is right according to the passage?
A. The students would never use the smart phones again.
B. The author had a difficult conversation with his students.
C. The mini-course didn’t get the expected result.
D. The students began to enjoy the present time.
B
Most human language tends to take a happy view on life, a new study suggests.
A team of scientists used big data techniques to examine a massive amount of data on 10 languages from Korean Twitter feeds (信息) to Russian literature. They found that the most commonly used words in each language all leaned towards the positive. The research was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The new research builds on some old ideas about language. “The concept has been around for a while that maybe we naturally tend to communicate in a way that encourages us to get along,” Christopher Danforth, co-author of the study, told Live Science.
In 1969, psychologists (心理学家) at the University of Illinois came up with the idea, called the Pollyanna hypothesis (假设), that humans have a universal tendency to use positive words more often than negative ones. But those findings were based on small studies.
In the new study, Danforth and his team took a more data-driven approach. The researchers analyzed billions of words from English, Spanish, French, German, Brazilian, Portuguese, Korean Chinese (simplified), Russian, Indonesian and Arabic. The words came from two dozen types of sources such as books, news outlets, social media, websites, television and movie subtitles, and music lyrics.
The researchers identified about 10,000 of the most commonly used words for each language, and asked native speakers to rate the happiness of these words on a scale (范围) from 1 to 9, where 9 is a smiling face, 1 was a crying face, and 5 was middle. For example, English speakers rated the word “laughter” at 8.50 and the word “terrorist” at 1.30.
On average, the ratings showed that a Google search of Spanish websites had the highest score for the word happiness, followed by Portuguese Google searches, Portuguese Tweets and English Google Books. Chinese Google Books had the least happy words, followed by Korean movie subtitles and English movie lyrics. But across all languages and types of text, the median word happiness score was higher than 5 on the scale of 1 to 9. In other words, humans use more happy words than sad ones, the researchers said.
26. What would the psychologists in the article probably agree with?
A. People all over the world tend to use negative words.
B. All human language holds a bright view on life.
C. People around the world prefer happy words to sad ones.
D. People have a tendency to communicate in a selfish way.
27. In what way is Danforth’s study an improvement over previous studies?
A. The quality of data. B. The number of data.
C. The object of the study. D. The research environment.
28. How did Danforth and his team conduct their research?
A. By classifying languages by topic. B. By rating the happiness of the words.
C. By interviewing native speakers. D. By identifying the most happy words.
29. According to Danforth’s study, which has the highest score for word happiness?
A. English Google books. B. Portuguese Twitter.
C. Korean movie subtitles. D. Spanish Google searches.
30. What is the text mainly about?
A. A feature of human language. B. The effect of positive languages.
C. Different ideas on human language. D. The development of human language.
C
Teenage sailors have been making headlines. A young person alone in a dangerous situation attracts attention — and sponsors. Young sailors also attract divided opinions. For example, Jessica Watson was asked by the local government to cancel her voyage; yet the Prime Minister called her “a hero for young Australians” when she returned. It seems there is confusion about the ability and independence of young people.
Consider the case of the Dutch girl, Laura Dekker. When her father agreed to her making a solo (独自的) voyage at age 13, the Dutch Council for Child Care prevented it. The World Sailing Speed Record Council also moved to discourage very young sailors by abolishing (废除) their age-based records in early 2009. So community control of children under 16 years already happens.
Teenage brains, the popular psychologists tell us, are likely to make wrong judgments. But such generalizations often do not apply to specific individuals. Between the ages of 14 and 18, teenagers vary greatly in their abilities. The amount of independence each is allowed should be determined not simply by their age but by discussing with the relevant, responsible adults. Some teens are certainly inexperienced and capable of childish mistakes, but the ones who attempt dangerous journeys normally do so by winning the confidence of hard-headed and well-qualified adult supporters.
But it is also wrong to think that any 16-year-old can gain achievements as unusual as Jessica Watson’s. This can have the opposite effect of making them feel incapable because remarkable accomplishments are beyond them.
Teenage sailors should not be judged by preconceived (事先形成的) views about young people. But nor should “ordinary” teenagers feel pressure to achieve extraordinary personal goals. In fact, I believe the example of solo sailing over-stresses individualism. The teenage years are when most of us “ordinary” people learn that we can achieve great things in cooperation with others.
31. What do we know about Jessica Watson?
A. She wanted to attract potential sponsors.
B. She successfully completed her voyage.
C. She was discouraged by the Prime Minister.
D. She worked as a sailor for the local government.
32. Why does the author mention the Dutch girl in Para 2?
A. To praise her for her bravery.
B. To stress she was overprotected.
C. To show community control over teenage sailors.
D. To explain the common independence of young people.
33. What does the underlined word “generalizations” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. controls B. experiences C. faults D. opinions
34. What does the author think of teenagers’ independence?
A. It is closely related to their age.
B. It often leads to wrong judgments.
C. It is developed through independent journeys.
D. It differs hugely from individual to individual.
35. What is the author’s attitude towards teenage sailors?
A. objective B. indifferent C. subjective D. doubtful

The History of Tahitian Dance
In the early age of Tahitian dance, performances were symbolic and important, not just an art form. ___36___ For example, there was a dance that was performed to greet guests at an official ceremony. Other dances were designed for special ceremonies. Some dances were more personal, and people danced to challenge an opponent.
____37____ One of the most popular dance styles is Ote’a, which is performed by a large group of dancers. Another dance called a hivinau is usually performed as the last dance of a ceremony. It involves a group of dancers led by one dancer who may make up some movements.
Tahitian dance is performed to the accompaniment (伴随) of traditional music. Drums feature heavily in Tahitian music. Dance music is strongly rhythmic and powerful. Besides, nose flutes (鼻笛), also called vivo, are made from bamboo tubes with holes carved into them, and they are played by breathing out of the nose and into the flute. ____38____
It isn’t certain when or how Tahitian dance originally developed. It is a practice that dates back to ancient Tahitian people and their Maori ancestors. Dance was an important and popular cultural expression in Tahiti. ____39____ At that time, early British colonists (殖民者) who came to Tahiti found traditional Tahitian dance annoying and offensive. Therefore, they abolished most forms of dance in Tahiti.
Tahitian dance was illegal in Tahiti until the early 20th century. Traditional costumes were not used during this period, and only the hands, feet and face of the dancer could be exposed. ___40___ Although it had been influenced by European presence and the cultural changes in Tahiti, Tahitian dance has regained its importance as a unique expression of Tahitian culture and history.
A. However, it met with a problem during the 1800s.
B. Nowadays, there are different styles of Tahitian dance.
C. Native Tahitians had different dances for different purposes.
D. In the 1950s, a lot of effort was made to preserve the traditional dance.
E. While mastering Tahitian dance is challenging, anyone can learn the basic moves.
F. These instruments have been used to accompany Tahitian dance throughout history.
G. The popularity of Tahitian dance has transformed it into a privileged tool for tourism promotion.

B: I’ve lived in many cities and when I moved back to Sweden from the United States, people asked me where to go and eat when they went to cities I knew. I got a lot of ideas. Then I wrote about restaurants for the Swedish club magazine and someone suggested I gather the information about the restaurants together since I had all the facts about the restaurants I’ve been to. I started to do that.
A: How do you find restaurants?
B: The best way is to ask the people there. I may talk to the people at the street market or take a walk and look for a place for myself. I never asked a hotel clerk or a taxi driver. I don’t go empty restaurants or places with menus too difficult to understand.

【详解】At the beginning of the tour, we’ll start with the most important place in my town, which is the Plaza Leon. The Plaza Leon, which is more than 100 years old, is a gathering place for young people on Friday and Saturday nights, and for parents and children on Sunday afternoons. Four streets lead to the Plaza, which have white sidewalks and treeline. Hernandes Street, which was named after a famous writer born in the city, contains all of the food stores, fish markets and vegetable stands. Femando Street, which was named after an educator, is where all of the government offices are housed. Via del Mar Street, whose roads are made of stones, is the only street which still has its old surface. Finally we come to Horatio Street on which there are two universities, one of them is the most famous university in my country. That’s why it’s my favorite street of all.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
One day last January, my classroom was full of nervous atmosphere as 15 teenagers prepared to lock their smartphones in a cabinet (柜子) and stop all Internet use for the next two weeks. The ceremony kicked off a class I taught called Logging Off. During the rest of the school year, I taught high school chemistry, but this mini-course gave my students and me a chance to examine the role of technology in our lives.
When the time came to power down, many students were eager to be free of their phones, while others held onto their phones like a favorite stuffed animal. Their emotions seemed to range from worry (“How will I talk with my friends?”) to expectation (“I can’t wait to read more books.”).
Over the next few days, the students showed a surprising source of anxiety. Without their phones, they weren’t sure what to do when there was nothing to do. That’s when it hit me: I long for the kind of time alone with my thoughts that my students feared. I use these moments to replay a difficult conversation until I know where it went wrong or imagine myself living abroad. I stare at a person sitting nearby and invent the story of her life.
As we closed in on the final days of the course, I noticed a change in the kids’ attitude. Their anxiety faded. They went for walks, composed music, and played board games with younger sisters and brothers. They experienced life in the moment.
On the last day, when I returned their phones, I expected the kids to power up immediately and go straight to social media. Instead, most of them left the classroom with screens still dark, saying they wanted to see how long they could wait.
I know the pull of the digital world is strong, but I’m hoping the brief break from near-constant connectivity has shown my students that they have a choice in what to do in their downtime, while they’re waiting in line for coffee or walking home. I hope they seize the precious chance to daydream.
21. What did the author’s 15 students decide to do?
A. Put more effort into chemistry. B. Put their phones aside for 14 days.
C. Disconnect themselves from each other. D. Live without the Internet for a school year.

A. Students’ thoughts about technology.
B. Students’ expectations of the mini-course.
C. Students’ different reactions at the beginning stage.
D. Students’ emotions at the end of the mini-course.
23. What does the author like doing in her moments alone?
A. Making up stories. B. Imagining her future life.
C. Preparing for overseas travel. D. Reflecting on a funny conversation.
24. What did most students do when they got their phones back?
A. They kept their phones switched off.
B. They went straight back to social media.
C. They made changes to their phone screens.
D. They had their phones recharged immediately.
25. Which of the following is right according to the passage?
A. The students would never use the smart phones again.
B. The author had a difficult conversation with his students.
C. The mini-course didn’t get the expected result.
D. The students began to enjoy the present time.

Most human language tends to take a happy view on life, a new study suggests.
A team of scientists used big data techniques to examine a massive amount of data on 10 languages from Korean Twitter feeds (信息) to Russian literature. They found that the most commonly used words in each language all leaned towards the positive. The research was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The new research builds on some old ideas about language. “The concept has been around for a while that maybe we naturally tend to communicate in a way that encourages us to get along,” Christopher Danforth, co-author of the study, told Live Science.
In 1969, psychologists (心理学家) at the University of Illinois came up with the idea, called the Pollyanna hypothesis (假设), that humans have a universal tendency to use positive words more often than negative ones. But those findings were based on small studies.
In the new study, Danforth and his team took a more data-driven approach. The researchers analyzed billions of words from English, Spanish, French, German, Brazilian, Portuguese, Korean Chinese (simplified), Russian, Indonesian and Arabic. The words came from two dozen types of sources such as books, news outlets, social media, websites, television and movie subtitles, and music lyrics.
The researchers identified about 10,000 of the most commonly used words for each language, and asked native speakers to rate the happiness of these words on a scale (范围) from 1 to 9, where 9 is a smiling face, 1 was a crying face, and 5 was middle. For example, English speakers rated the word “laughter” at 8.50 and the word “terrorist” at 1.30.
On average, the ratings showed that a Google search of Spanish websites had the highest score for the word happiness, followed by Portuguese Google searches, Portuguese Tweets and English Google Books. Chinese Google Books had the least happy words, followed by Korean movie subtitles and English movie lyrics. But across all languages and types of text, the median word happiness score was higher than 5 on the scale of 1 to 9. In other words, humans use more happy words than sad ones, the researchers said.
26. What would the psychologists in the article probably agree with?
A. People all over the world tend to use negative words.
B. All human language holds a bright view on life.
C. People around the world prefer happy words to sad ones.
D. People have a tendency to communicate in a selfish way.
27. In what way is Danforth’s study an improvement over previous studies?
A. The quality of data. B. The number of data.
C. The object of the study. D. The research environment.
28. How did Danforth and his team conduct their research?
A. By classifying languages by topic. B. By rating the happiness of the words.
C. By interviewing native speakers. D. By identifying the most happy words.
29. According to Danforth’s study, which has the highest score for word happiness?
A. English Google books. B. Portuguese Twitter.
C. Korean movie subtitles. D. Spanish Google searches.
30. What is the text mainly about?
A. A feature of human language. B. The effect of positive languages.
C. Different ideas on human language. D. The development of human language.
【答案】26. C 27. B 28. B 29. D 30. A

C
Teenage sailors have been making headlines. A young person alone in a dangerous situation attracts attention — and sponsors. Young sailors also attract divided opinions. For example, Jessica Watson was asked by the local government to cancel her voyage; yet the Prime Minister called her “a hero for young Australians” when she returned. It seems there is confusion about the ability and independence of young people.
Consider the case of the Dutch girl, Laura Dekker. When her father agreed to her making a solo (独自的) voyage at age 13, the Dutch Council for Child Care prevented it. The World Sailing Speed Record Council also moved to discourage very young sailors by abolishing (废除) their age-based records in early 2009. So community control of children under 16 years already happens.
Teenage brains, the popular psychologists tell us, are likely to make wrong judgments. But such generalizations often do not apply to specific individuals. Between the ages of 14 and 18, teenagers vary greatly in their abilities. The amount of independence each is allowed should be determined not simply by their age but by discussing with the relevant, responsible adults. Some teens are certainly inexperienced and capable of childish mistakes, but the ones who attempt dangerous journeys normally do so by winning the confidence of hard-headed and well-qualified adult supporters.
But it is also wrong to think that any 16-year-old can gain achievements as unusual as Jessica Watson’s. This can have the opposite effect of making them feel incapable because remarkable accomplishments are beyond them.
Teenage sailors should not be judged by preconceived (事先形成的) views about young people. But nor should “ordinary” teenagers feel pressure to achieve extraordinary personal goals. In fact, I believe the example of solo sailing over-stresses individualism. The teenage years are when most of us “ordinary” people learn that we can achieve great things in cooperation with others.
31. What do we know about Jessica Watson?
A. She wanted to attract potential sponsors.
B. She successfully completed her voyage.
C. She was discouraged by the Prime Minister.
D. She worked as a sailor for the local government.
32. Why does the author mention the Dutch girl in Para 2?
A. To praise her for her bravery.
B. To stress she was overprotected.
C. To show community control over teenage sailors.
D. To explain the common independence of young people.
33. What does the underlined word “generalizations” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. controls B. experiences C. faults D. opinions
34. What does the author think of teenagers’ independence?
A. It is closely related to their age.
B. It often leads to wrong judgments.
C. It is developed through independent journeys.
D. It differs hugely from individual to individual.
35. What is the author’s attitude towards teenage sailors?
A. objective B. indifferent C. subjective D. doubtful
【答案】31. B 32. C 33. D 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,探讨了社会对青少年航海者的看法,以及对青少年能力和独立性认识的分歧。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“For example, Jessica Watson was asked by the local government to cancel her voyage; yet the Prime Minister called her “a hero for young Australians” when she returned.(例如,杰西卡·沃森被当地政府要求取消她的航行;然而当她返回时,总理称她为“澳大利亚年轻人的英雄”。)”可知,她成功地完成了航行。故选B项。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Consider the case of the Dutch girl, Laura Dekker. When her father agreed to her making a solo (独自的) voyage at age 13, the Dutch Council for Child Care prevented it.(拿荷兰女孩Laura Dekker举个例子,她的父亲同意她13岁独自航行,但荷兰儿童护理委员会阻止了这一行为。)”可知,本段提到荷兰女孩是为了表明社会对青少年航海者有控制。故选C项。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。第三段中提到“Teenage brains, the popular psychologists tell us, are likely to make wrong judgments. But such generalizations often do not apply to specific individuals.(流行心理学家告诉我们,青少年的大脑可能会做出错误的判断,但这种generalizations通常不适用于特定个体。)”,这里的“generalizations”指的是上文流行心理学家的“观点”。故选D项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。第三段提到“Between the ages of 14 and 18, teenagers vary greatly in their abilities. The amount of independence each is allowed should be determined not simply by their age but by discussing with the relevant, responsible adults.(青少年的独立性在14岁到18岁之间差异很大,应该通过与相关、负责任的成年人讨论来决定,而不仅仅是由年龄决定。)”,这说明作者认为青少年的独立性因人而异。故选D项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Teenage sailors should not be judged by preconceived (事先形成的) views about young people. But nor should “ordinary” teenagers feel pressure to achieve extraordinary personal goals.(青少年航海者不应该被事先对年轻人的看法所评判,“普通”青少年不应该感到必须实现非凡的个人目标的压力。)”可知,作者对青少年航海者的态度是客观的。故选A项。

The History of Tahitian Dance
In the early age of Tahitian dance, performances were symbolic and important, not just an art form. ___36___ For example, there was a dance that was performed to greet guests at an official ceremony. Other dances were designed for special ceremonies. Some dances were more personal, and people danced to challenge an opponent.
____37____ One of the most popular dance styles is Ote’a, which is performed by a large group of dancers. Another dance called a hivinau is usually performed as the last dance of a ceremony. It involves a group of dancers led by one dancer who may make up some movements.

Dance was an important and popular cultural expression in Tahiti. ____39____ At that time, early British colonists (殖民者) who came to Tahiti found traditional Tahitian dance annoying and offensive. Therefore, they abolished most forms of dance in Tahiti.
Tahitian dance was illegal in Tahiti until the early 20th century. Traditional costumes were not used during this period, and only the hands, feet and face of the dancer could be exposed. ___40___ Although it had been influenced by European presence and the cultural changes in Tahiti, Tahitian dance has regained its importance as a unique expression of Tahitian culture and history.

【36题详解】
前文“In the early age of Tahitian dance, performances were symbolic and important, not just an art form. (在塔希提舞蹈的早期,表演不仅是一种艺术形式,而且具有象征意义和重要意义)”指出早期的塔希提舞蹈不仅起到艺术表演的作用,后文“For example, there was a dance that was performed to greet guests at an official ceremony. Other dances were designed for special ceremonies. Some dances were more personal, and people danced to challenge an opponent. (例如,有一种舞蹈是在正式仪式上为迎接客人而表演的。其他舞蹈则是为特殊仪式设计的。有些舞蹈更个人化,人们跳舞是为了挑战对手)”举出三个具体的例子,说明不同的舞蹈对应不同的目的,因此C项“Native Tahitians had different dances for different purposes. (塔希提人为了不同的目的有不同的舞蹈)”符合语境,概括性地表明不同的目的带来不同的舞蹈,承接前文,后文是对其进行例证。故选C。
【37题详解】
空处位于段首,是段落主旨句,需统领段落内容。根据后文“One of the most popular dance styles is Ote’a, which is performed by a large group of dancers. Another dance called a hivinau is usually performed as the last dance of a ceremony. (最受欢迎的舞蹈风格之一是Ote’a,由一大群舞者表演。另一种舞蹈称为hivinau,通常作为仪式的最后一支舞蹈表演)”可知,本段主要介绍不同风格的塔希提舞蹈,因此B项“Nowadays, there are different styles of Tahitian dance. (如今,塔希提舞蹈有不同的风格)”符合语境,指出塔希提舞蹈风格多样,契合段落内容。故选B。
【38题详解】
前文“Drums feature heavily in Tahitian music. Dance music is strongly rhythmic and powerful. Besides, nose flutes (鼻笛), also called vivo, are made from bamboo tubes with holes carved into them, and they are played by breathing out of the nose and into the flute. (鼓在塔希提音乐中占有重要地位。舞曲有强烈的节奏感和力量。此外,鼻笛,也叫vivo,是由竹管制成的,在竹管上打洞,通过鼻子向笛子里呼气来演奏)”主要介绍了塔希提音乐中伴奏的乐器:鼓和鼻笛,因此F项“These instruments have been used to accompany Tahitian dance throughout history. (这些乐器在历史上一直被用来为塔希提舞蹈伴奏)”符合语境,指出这些乐器常用于为塔希提舞蹈伴奏,承接前文,其中的These instruments指代前文的Drums和nose flutes。故选F。
【39题详解】
前文“It is a practice that dates back to ancient Tahitian people and their Maori ancestors. Dance was an important and popular cultural expression in Tahiti. (这种做法可以追溯到古老的塔希提人和他们的毛利人祖先。舞蹈是塔希提重要而流行的文化表现形式)”追溯塔希提舞蹈的历史起源,指出当时它很重要,后文“At that time, early British colonists (殖民者) who came to Tahiti found traditional Tahitian dance annoying and offensive. Therefore, they abolished most forms of dance in Tahiti. (当时,早期来到塔希提岛的英国殖民者发现传统的塔希提舞蹈令人讨厌和反感。因此,他们废除了塔希提岛的大多数舞蹈形式)”介绍后来塔希提舞蹈被英国殖民者废除了,因此A项“However, it met with a problem during the 1800s. (然而,它在19世纪遇到了一个问题)”符合语境,指出塔希提舞蹈遇到困境,和前文构成转折,后文是对其中problem的具体说明。故选A。
【40题详解】
前文“Tahitian dance was illegal in Tahiti until the early 20th century. Traditional costumes were not used during this period, and only the hands, feet and face of the dancer could be exposed. (直到20世纪初,塔希提舞蹈在塔希提都是非法的。在这一时期不使用传统服装,只有舞者的手、脚和脸可以暴露出来)”表明20世纪初塔希提舞蹈表演受到很多限制,后文“Although it had been influenced by European presence and the cultural changes in Tahiti, Tahitian dance has regained its importance as a unique expression of Tahitian culture and history. (尽管它受到了欧洲的影响和塔希提的文化变化,但塔希提舞蹈作为塔希提文化和历史的独特表达重新获得了它的重要性)”指出塔希提舞蹈恢复了其重要性,因此D项“In the 1950s, a lot of effort was made to preserve the traditional dance. (在20世纪50年代,人们做了很多努力来保护传统舞蹈)”符合语境,指出20世纪中期人们努力保护塔希提舞蹈,承接前文,引出后文的保护成果。故选D。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章概述了中国农民在2023年庆祝丰收节的盛况,强调了农民的重要性和中国粮食安全的全球意义,同时指出了全球发展不平衡导致的食品安全问题。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:被称为中国农民丰收节的这个节日,每年在秋分时节举行。分析句子可知,此空需用非谓语动词,且know与逻辑主语this event之间是被动关系,意为“被称为……”,且此空位于句首,首字母应大写,所以应填过去分词Known。故填Known。
【57题详解】
考查不定式。句意:这是向农民的辛勤劳动致敬和庆祝他们成就的时刻。根据句意可知,此处应用不定式to do作后置定语,表示目的,即“为了……”。故填to honor。
【58题详解】
考查定语从句的时态。句意:这也凸显了农民在过去三十年中扮演的重要角色。分析句子可知,此处为that引导的定语从句,根据句中时间状语“in the past three decades”可知,空处作为从句谓语,应用现在完成时,因主语为farmers,是复数,故应填have played。故填have played。
【59题详解】
考查冠词。句意:作为一个人口大国,中国把解决粮食安全问题作为首要任务。根据句意可知,此处表示泛指“一个人口大国”,且country为可数名词单数形式,且为辅音音素开头,所以用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【60题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:在过去的十年里,中国的粮食生产持续增长,使中国能够为其他国家和地区提供帮助。分析句子可知,空处应为非谓语形式,因enable与逻辑主语“the country’s grain production”为主动关系,故此处应用现在分词enabling,意为“使能够”。故填enabling。
【61题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:在全球范围内,中国比其他任何国家付出更多的努力,这有助于发展中国家相互合作。分析句子可知,此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词为前面的整个句子“On the global scale, China has put more effort than any other country”,在从句中充当主语,所以应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意:其他国家对中国农业发展的认可可以概括为两点。分析句子可知,空处为该句主语,故应为所给词的名词形式;recognition为不可数名词,意为“认可”,故填recognition。
【63题详解】
考查代词。句意:首先,他们尊重中国解决自己粮食安全问题的能力。“形容词性物主代词+own+名词”意为“自己的……”;根据所给词it,故应为其形容词性物主代词形式its。故填its。
【64题详解】
考查介词。句意:其次,他们视中国为“真朋友”,因为中国为全球粮食安全做出了巨大贡献。分析句子可知,此处为固定短语“make contributions to...”,意为“对……做出贡献”,介词to表动作指向,意为“向……,对……”。故填to。
【65题详解】
考查副词。句意:粮食不安全基本上是由全球发展不平衡造成的。根据句意可知,此处应用副词basically修饰动词caused,表示“基本上”。故填basically。

76. 这个电影预定于下周一下午2点开始。(schedule) (汉译英)
______________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The film is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. next Monday.
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语、时态、冠词和名词。表示“这个电影”应用the film,the表示特指;表示“预定于”应用动词短语be scheduled to,此处描述的是已经安排好的未来事件,be动词用一般现在时,因主语the film为第三人称单数,故be动词用is;表示“开始”应用动词begin,位于动词不定式符号to后面,使用动词原形;表示“下周一下午2点”为短语at 2 p.m. next Monday,作时间状语。故翻译为The film is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. next Monday。
77. 当你和父母意见相左时,冷静下来并尝试从他们的角度了解情况。(from one’s point of view) (汉译英)
______________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】When you disagree with your parents, calm down and try to understand their situation from their point of view.
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句、祈使句、动词短语、名词和介词短语。表示“当你和父母意见相左时”句子陈述目前事实,应用一般现在时,使用when引导的时间状语从句“When you disagree with your parents”,“和(某人)意见相左”为disagree with sb.,此处为一般现在时,且主语为you(你),故谓语动词用disagree;表示“冷静下来”应用动词短语calm down,表示“尝试做某事”为try to do,两者由连词and连接作主句的并列谓语,主句为祈使句,故其谓语动词calm down和try均为原形;表示“了解情况”可以翻译为understand their situation,situation为不可数名词,“从他们的角度”可以翻译为from their point of view,作状语修饰动词短语understand their situation。故翻译为When you disagree with your parents, calm down and try to understand their situation from their point of view.
78. 我愿意多干一些家务活来换取一张去动物园的门票。(in exchange for)(汉译英)
______________________________________________________________________________________

【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。be willing to do sth为固定短语,表示“愿意”,“家务”为housework,in exchange for为固定短语,表示“作为……的交换”,“去动物园的门票”应为a ticket to the zoo,主语为I。故翻译为I’m willing to do more housework in exchange for a ticket to the zoo.
79. 这个小男孩因自己上周犯的错误向他的好朋友道歉了。(make an apology) (汉译英)
______________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The little boy made an apology to his good friend for the mistake he made last week.
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语和定语从句。“这个小男孩”译为the little boy,作主语,“因……向某人道歉”使用动词短语make an apology to sb for,“他的好朋友”译为his good friend,“错误”使用名词mistake,“自己上周犯的”译为一个定语从句,先行词是mistake,和动词make搭配表示“犯错误”,“上周”使用短语last week,关系词在从句中作宾语,使用关系代词that/which引导,关系词可省略,句子是描述过去发生的事情,使用一般过去时,故翻译为:The little boy made an apology to his good friend for the mistake he made last week.
80. 古语说得好:“不要以貌取人”。(saying) (汉译英)
______________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】As the old saying goes, don’t judge a book by its cover./“Don’t judge a book by its cover,” the old saying goes./The old saying goes that don’t judge a book by its cover.
【解析】
【详解】考查名词、谚语、定语从句和同位语从句。句子在介绍通常的情况,基本时态应用一般现在时;“不要以貌取人”为谚语,通常表达为don’t judge a book by its cover;“古语说得好”可用固定句型as the old saying goes表示,as“正如”引导非限制性定语从句,don’t judge a book by its cover为主句;“古语说得好”也可用the old saying goes表示,将don’t judge a book by its cover作为直接引语,或用that引导名词性从句。故可译为:As the old saying goes, don’t judge a book by its cover./“Don’t judge a book by its cover,” the old saying goes./The old saying goes that don’t judge a book by its cover.
