Dear Joe,
I wrote you the letter to tell you about what the world used to be like when I was young.
Life used to be very different then. We didn’t have smartphones when we wanted to talk to our friends. We didn’t have e-mails either, so we had to write letters.
When we traveled from town to town, we used to walk or ride horses or take a cart (马车). Later we had buses and very few people had cars. Air travel was a luxury and we used to dream of riding on an airplane but now everyone does. It’s so common.
Food is another big difference. There weren’t any supermarkets so we used to grow our own food. We would exchange some with people from other towns to buy the things we didn’t have. We didn’t have a fridge so we kept things cool in a special room downstairs. But the biggest difference is electricity. We didn’t have any in our town! At night, we used to light candles when we wanted light and we burned coal (煤) or wood to keep warm. We didn’t have TVs. In summer, we used to go swimming in the river.
Life used to be very different, but we were happy.
Love,
Grandpa

We all know that music is magical. It can comfort us when we’re tired or sad and may help us do better jobs. ____16____
In 2001, rearchers at the University of Leicester did a study—they played different kinds of music for cows and recorded the amount (数量) of milk they produced. ____17____ And the cows produce 3% more milk than those that only heard the noisy sounds of milking machines.
While it was certain that such news was great, nobody ever told exactly what kinds of music could make the cows happy and produce more milk. So in 2014, reporters of Modern Farmer, a magazine, decided to find out more. They studied the research results of the University of Leicester and also interviewed lots of farmers. They found that similar to humans, different cows liked different kinds of music. ____18____ However, the music like rap wasn’t welcome. It seemed to make cows more upset and worried.
____19____ Researchers say that the busy and noisy environment in milking factories can be so stressful for cows. As a result, the release of oxytocin (催产素的释放), which is central to the milking process, is slowed. That leads to less milk production. ____20____ So, the next time you visit a farm, don’t be surprised to see cows dancing to their favorite music. After all, great milk comes from happy cows!
根据材料内容,从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项,使意思通顺、内容完整。

Dear Joe,
I wrote you the letter to tell you about what the world used to be like when I was young.
Life used to be very different then. We didn’t have smartphones when we wanted to talk to our friends. We didn’t have e-mails either, so we had to write letters.
When we traveled from town to town, we used to walk or ride horses or take a cart (马车). Later we had buses and very few people had cars. Air travel was a luxury and we used to dream of riding on an airplane but now everyone does. It’s so common.
Food is another big difference. There weren’t any supermarkets so we used to grow our own food. We would exchange some with people from other towns to buy the things we didn’t have. We didn’t have a fridge so we kept things cool in a special room downstairs. But the biggest difference is electricity. We didn’t have any in our town! At night, we used to light candles when we wanted light and we burned coal (煤) or wood to keep warm. We didn’t have TVs. In summer, we used to go swimming in the river.
Life used to be very different, but we were happy.
Love,
Grandpa

While it was certain that such news was great nobody ever told exactly what kinds of music could make the cows happy and produce more milk.

____19____ Researchers say that the busy and noisy environment in milking factories can be so stressful for cows. As a result, the release of oxytocin (催产素的释放), which is central to the milking process, is slowed. That leads to less milk production. ____20____ So, the next time you visit a farm, don’t be surprised to see cows dancing to their favorite music. After all, great milk comes from happy cows!

【导语】本文介绍了西班牙“西红柿节”的起源,重点描述了“番茄大战”的盛况,充满了趣味。
【36题详解】
句意:西班牙以西红柿节而闻名,被称为La Tomatina。结合所给词汇,横线处用it指代Spain,修饰名词短语tomato festival,应用it对应的形容词性物主代词。故填its。
【37题详解】
句意:在节日期间,有各种活动,但最令人兴奋的部分是番茄大战。根据“During the festival there are all kinds of activities, but the...exciting part is the tomato fight.”可知,众多活动中番茄大战是最令人兴奋的,定冠词the修饰形容词最高级,exciting为多音节形容词,最高级形式为the most exciting。故填most。
【38题详解】
句意:它发生在漫长的庆祝结束时。根据前文介绍,西红柿节有多种庆祝活动,番茄大战是最刺激的部分,这一部分被安排在漫长的庆祝之后。celebration不可数名词“庆祝”符合语境,故填celebration。
【39题详解】
句意:关于这个节日怎么开始的有很多故事版本。根据“how the festival...”以及“One of the stories goes that during the 1940s...”可知,此处在介绍番茄大战的起源,回顾过去,应用一般过去时,谓语动词begin“开始”应用过去式形式。故填began。
【40题详解】
句意:不管怎样,布尼奥尔的每个人似乎都有不同的故事。根据“One of the stories goes that...while another story is...”可知,关于番茄大战的起源,每个人似乎有不同版本。seem to do sth.“似乎做某事”,时态为一般现在时,主语everyone是三单,谓语动词seem变单数。故填seems。
【41题详解】
句意:在番茄大战之前,有游行、街头派对等。此处考查there be句型,时态为一般现在时,就近名词是复数parades,因此be动词变复数are。故填are。
【42题详解】
句意:然后满载西红柿的大卡车到了。根据下文提示“From the back of the large trucks”可知,由大卡车将西红柿运至广场。truck可数名词“卡车”符合语境,前无不定冠词修饰,因此变复数。故填trucks。
【43题详解】
句意:每个人都应该遵守一些规则:你必须在扔西红柿之前把西红柿压扁,然后你只能扔西红柿。此处考查短语be supposed to do sth.“应该做某事”,此处表示参加番茄大战的人应该遵守一些规则。故填supposed。
【44题详解】
句意:每个人都应该遵守一些规则:你必须在扔西红柿之前把西红柿压扁,然后你只能扔西红柿。be allowed to do sth.“被允许做某事”,横线处填动词原形,宾语是tomatoes,所以是“扔西红柿”。故填throw。
【45题详解】
句意:番茄大战通常不到半小时就结束了。根据“over in less than half an hour.”可知,此处介绍番茄大战通常持续的时间,usually副词“通常”符合语境,故填usually。
第二节
阅读短文,根据语篇要求填空,使短文通顺、意思完整。每空限填一词。
Many people work hard, but they don’t seem to ____46____ able to do anything worthwhile (值得努力的). Why do people feel this way? Because they haven’t spent enough time thinking about what they want from life, and haven’t set any goals for themselves.

【答案】46. be 47. to
48. where 49. by
50. so
【解析】
【导语】本文主要说明了设定个人目标的重要性。
【46题详解】
句意:许多人努力工作,但他们似乎不能做任何有价值的事情。be able to do sth.意为“能够做某事”,形容词短语,seem to后面跟动词原形。故填be。
【47题详解】
句意:设定目标是思考未来的好方法,也是帮助自己实现梦想的好方法。此处用动词不定式作定语,修饰a great way。故填to。
【48题详解】
句意:它帮助你选择你想去的地方。根据“…you want to go.”可知,设定目标可以帮助你选择你想去的地方,此处应用where引导宾语从句,故填where。
【49题详解】
句意:目标设定经常被玩家和商务人士使用。根据“Goal setting is often used…players and business people.”可知,此处是被动语态结构,后面的并列名词是动作的执行者,应用by表示“被”。故填by。
【50题详解】
句意:这也有助于他们节省时间和精力,使他们能够充分利用自己的生活。根据“It also helps them save their time and energy…that they can make the most of their lives.”可知,这是一个主从复合句,应用so that“为了”引导目的状语从句,故填so。
