Strangest Festivals around the World
Through the years, people have found many ways to celebrate important occasions in their lives. If you’re looking for an interesting and off-the-beaten-path tourist site, here are some most wonderful and unusual festivals from around the world.
Battle of the Orange, Ivrea, Italy
Each year in February, a battle takes place in this Italian town among thousands of tourists who throw oranges at each other during a 30-minute fight. The aim is to try and knock down other people by attacking them with oranges so that they cannot stand any longer.
Underwater Music Festival, Florida, America
Rather than being held at a typical concert hall, the Underwater Music Festival takes place on the seabed in July. Aiming to protect the sea lives, this unique custom features musicians playing music below water level. 100 feet deep in clear water, talented musicians wear diving equipment, performing free concerts for sea creatures and humans alike.
Rayne Frog (青蛙) Festival, Louisiana, America
The Rayne Frog Festival is held every fall in Rayne, Louisiana. The festival features all things frog: frog races, frog jumping, and the selection of the Frog Derby Queen. Besides music performance, it also holds a variety of frog-themed runs, fairs and other activities. If you are into frogs, there’s no other place you’d rather be in mid-November.
Night of the Radishes (萝卜), Oaxaca, Mexico
Night of the Radishes is a celebration that takes place every December 23rd in Oaxaca, Mexico. It features all kinds of radish sculptures (雕塑). The tradition began when local radish growers began carving their produce in order to attract customers. But radishes are just radishes after all, and the sculptures don’t last.

I’ve been into volunteer work since childhood. As a girl, I volunteered at animal shelters, played music at nursing homes, and helped with community cleanup. In college, I volunteered heavily at a large yearly conference (会议), where I first met and fell in love with my husband Tom, who was on my team of co-volunteers.
Volunteering has been a way of life for me and I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t enjoy it. Most of the time, you do feel that you’re making a difference. Once I led a project that provided food to Syrian families. When it was nearing Ramadan, the biggest holiday season in Islam, I filled the food package with nuts, olive oil, sweets... We took the package and arrived just as a Syrian family was sitting on their floor for breakfast. They had nothing but some bread and a pot of tea. The mother cried when seeing us, saying she would never forget our kindness gratefully.
Another time, some friends and I volunteered to a church with only a few elderly residents. The churchyard needed attention. We spent the weekend in the home of one of these old ladies so we could clean and repair the churchyard. I’ll never forget the new life in her eyes as she stayed with us. It broke my heart to remember this old lady with pleasure for such small efforts we made.
Volunteer work is satisfying not because you have done some work, but because your presence has an effect on people around. It makes me grateful for what I have and gives me a chance to serve people.
4. Where did the author meet her husband for the first time?
A. In her college. B. At a conference.
C. At a nursing home. D. At an animal shelter.
5. Why did the Syrian mother cry when the author arrived?
A. She was grateful to the kindness. B. Her children were badly ill
C. She didn’t have any food at all. D. Her house was broken.
6. What was the old lady’s attitude from Paragraph 3?
A. Surprised. B. Disappointed. C. Pleased. D. Confused.
7. Why does the author think volunteering is satisfying?
A. She can make lots of friends. B. She can learn much knowledge.
C. She can kill much of her free time. D. She can have an effect on people around.
C
Some people say global English is no longer just controlled by British or American English, but is running free and developing uniquely local forms. Can you figure out the following terms?
“I like your smile, but unlike you put your shoes on my face.” This is a way of saying “Keep off the grass” Or “people mountain, people sea”, which means “very crowded”.
These examples are what we call Chinglish. When it comes to Chinglish, if all you know is “good good study, day day up”, you will be considered “out man”.
Nowadays, more Chinglish words have been created, for example, a Chinese idiom is translated as “smilence”, a combination by the English word smile and silence.
Chinglish usually offers a humorous look at misuses of the English language in Chinese street signs, products, and advertising. They are favoured by some English speaking tourists and visitors. Dominic Swire has been living in Beijing for a couple of years. “I think many Chinese people complain about the Chinglish and badly translated English. But you know, sometimes for us foreigners, it’s actually quite charming to see them. I think if the translations of English in China were all perfect, then something would be lost from Chinese culture.”
However, Chinglish will probably become a “cultural relic” in the near future. Beijing has made a comprehensive plan to improve foreign language services and correct Chinglish within five years. “It is very ridiculous to see Chinglish on the signs in some scenic spots. And they are a kind of barrier for communication between Chinese and people from other countries,” a Beijinger said.
Some Chinese university experts side with Chinglish. They argue that English has absorbed elements from other languages such as French and Spanish in its growth, and now it’s Chinese’s turn.
8. Which one of the following can be called Chinglish according to the examples?
A. English words which get new Chinese meanings.
B. The Chinese words which are difficult to translate.
C. The words combining English vocabulary and Chinese grammar.
D. The local words preventing foreigners from learning Chinese well.
9. What does “smilence” most probably mean?
A. Laughing at somebody.
B. Knowing little about speech.
C. Smiling without being noticed.
D. Saying nothing but to smile.
10 What is Swire’s attitude to Chinglish?
A. It helps him to learn Chinese well.
B. It seems part of Chinese culture.
C. It can show the humour of Chinese.
D It will attract more foreign tourists.
11. Why is Chinglish likely to become a “cultural relic” in Beijing?
A. Because Beijing is determined to get rid of Chinglish signs.
B. Because Chinglish is a chance to enrich Chinese and English.
C. Because it has become a unique bridge between Chinese and English.
D. Because it improves the understanding between Chinese and foreigners.
D
Robots are often cast in popular science fiction as the bad characters that take over the world and enslave mankind. But with the beginning of some serious diseases, robots are increasingly being employed as helpers, taking on often dull, difficult and dangerous tasks and thus reducing humans' exposure to some terrifying virus.
In the United States, two of the main ways in which robotic technology is being used in the hospitals are to disinfect(消毒)hospital rooms and act as a telemedicine portal, allowing doctors and health care workers to communicate via video conference directly with patients without unnecessarily exposing themselves to those highly infectious virus.
In Boston, doctors, researchers and robotics engineers have teamed up to bring a friendly, dog-like, four-legged robot named Spot into Brigham and Women' s Hospital, allowing doctors to communicate with patients via telemedicine.
In March, at the start of the pandemic, a league from hospital, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Spot's manufacturer-Boston Dynamnics, began testing the robot's design to enable Spot to communicate with patients, thus reducing the exposure of frontline health care workers to the virus. In the place of a head, Spot has an iPad affixed to a stand, allowing doctors to conduct telemedicine services with their patients.
“Most people actually really like it,” says Dr. Peter Chai, an emergency medicine physician who serves as the hospital's chief researcher on the robot project.
Researchers are working to increase the robot's diagnostic abilities, enabling it to measure the patients temperature and his or her respiratory rate (呼吸率).
Chai predicts that hospitals will continue to find more ways to use robots, and tie wonders whether robots can deliver supplies to rooms or see patients with other infectious diseases
12. What words can best describe the jobs robots are employed to do?
A. Normal and easy. B. Exciting and dangerous.
C. Dirty and complex. D. Frightening and difficult.
13. Why are robots being used in American hospitals?
A. To save money. B. To replace doctors.
C. To protect doctors from infecting virus. D. To deliver supplies to patients and doctors.
14. What do we know about Spot?
A. It is a friendly dog.
B. It can deliver supplies to hospital rooms.
C. It can help adjust the patient's temperature.
D. It allows doctors to conduct telemedicine services.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Spot the Robot Dog
B. Train Robot Doctors
C. Robots Being Used in Hospital
D. Robots in Popular Science Fiction

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。
About ten years ago, my wife and I took a trip to the Grand Canyon in Arizona. I didn't like to carry all my keys in my pocket during a hike, so I took away the key to the car and left the rest in the car. When we came back, I put the key somewhere in the car without reattaching(把……重新连上) it to the keyring. Then we made a fire, cooked some food, and went to sleep in the back of the SUV.
The next morning, we were cleaning up our campsite when I saw a bird inside my car. I walked over, and it flew away. When we got in the car to go home, I couldn't find the key. We searched and searched, even emptying out the car completely, but it was gone.
Then it hit me that the bird must have taken it. After all, those birds are known for stealing shiny things and decorating their nests with them. Keys are shiny. The bird was the thief! It made perfect sense to me. So I decided to find its nest.
But there was a problem: As everyone knows, the Grand Canyon is a little large in area, so I didn't have confidence in actually finding a certain nest belonging to a certain bird in a certain tree in all that space. But what other choices did I have?
My wife was not encouraging me. She said, “Are you crazy? You'll never find it! The Grand Canyon is one of the biggest holes on Earth!” I didn't answer and walked steadily forward until her laughter died away.
I struggled to keep hope as I searched dozens of trees and tracked every singing bird. It was like searching a needle in the sea. But, oh, how great my victory would be when I held the missing key from the bird's nest!
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
After two hours of search, I finally gave up and returned to the car.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The next day, we stopped at a service centre for lunch.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了世界上最奇怪的一些节日。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Battle of the Orange, Ivrea, Italy部分的“Each year in February, a battle takes place in this Italian town among thousands of tourists who throw oranges at each other during a 30-minute fight. (每年2月,这个意大利小镇都会发生一场战斗,数千名游客在30分钟的战斗中互相投掷橙子)”可知,在意大利的节日中游客可以相互投掷橙子。故选A。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据Underwater Music Festival, Florida, America部分的“Aiming to protect the sea lives, this unique custom features musicians playing music below water level. 100 feet deep in clear water, talented musicians wear diving equipment, performing free concerts for sea creatures and humans alike.(为了保护海洋生物,这一独特的习俗以音乐家在水位以下演奏音乐为特色。在100英尺深的清澈水中,才华横溢的音乐家们穿着潜水设备,为海洋生物和人类表演免费音乐会)”可知,为了保护海洋生物,该音乐节在100英尺深的水下进行。由此推知,一个关心海洋生物的音乐爱好者很有可能被Underwater Music Festival吸引。故选B。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Night of the Radishes (萝卜), Oaxaca, Mexico部分的“Night of the Radishes is a celebration that takes place every December 23rd in Oaxaca, Mexico. It features all kinds of radish sculptures (雕塑).(萝卜之夜是每年12月23日在墨西哥瓦哈卡举行的庆祝活动。它以各种萝卜雕塑为特色)”可知,圣诞节在每年12月25日,而Night of the Radishes在每年12月23日,所以Night of the Radishes这个节日适合期待一个特别的圣诞假期的游客。故选D。

The mother cried when seeing us, saying she would never forget our kindness gratefully.
Another time, some friends and I volunteered to a church with only a few elderly residents. The churchyard needed attention. We spent the weekend in the home of one of these old ladies so we could clean and repair the churchyard. I’ll never forget the new life in her eyes as she stayed with us. It broke my heart to remember this old lady with pleasure for such small efforts we made.
Volunteer work is satisfying not because you have done some work, but because your presence has an effect on people around. It makes me grateful for what I have and gives me a chance to serve people.
4. Where did the author meet her husband for the first time?
A. In her college. B. At a conference.
C. At a nursing home. D. At an animal shelter.
5. Why did the Syrian mother cry when the author arrived?
A. She was grateful to the kindness. B. Her children were badly ill
C. She didn’t have any food at all. D. Her house was broken.
6. What was the old lady’s attitude from Paragraph 3?
A. Surprised. B. Disappointed. C. Pleased. D. Confused.
7. Why does the author think volunteering is satisfying?

Some people say global English is no longer just controlled by British or American English, but is running free and developing uniquely local forms. Can you figure out the following terms?
“I like your smile, but unlike you put your shoes on my face.” This is a way of saying “Keep off the grass” Or “people mountain, people sea”, which means “very crowded”.
These examples are what we call Chinglish. When it comes to Chinglish, if all you know is “good good study, day day up”, you will be considered “out man”.
Nowadays, more Chinglish words have been created, for example, a Chinese idiom is translated as “smilence”, a combination by the English word smile and silence.
Chinglish usually offers a humorous look at misuses of the English language in Chinese street signs, products, and advertising. They are favoured by some English speaking tourists and visitors. Dominic Swire has been living in Beijing for a couple of years. “I think many Chinese people complain about the Chinglish and badly translated English. But you know, sometimes for us foreigners, it’s actually quite charming to see them. I think if the translations of English in China were all perfect, then something would be lost from Chinese culture.”
However, Chinglish will probably become a “cultural relic” in the near future. Beijing has made a comprehensive plan to improve foreign language services and correct Chinglish within five years. “It is very ridiculous to see Chinglish on the signs in some scenic spots. And they are a kind of barrier for communication between Chinese and people from other countries,” a Beijinger said.
Some Chinese university experts side with Chinglish. They argue that English has absorbed elements from other languages such as French and Spanish in its growth, and now it’s Chinese’s turn.
8 Which one of the following can be called Chinglish according to the examples?
A. English words which get new Chinese meanings.
B. The Chinese words which are difficult to translate.
C. The words combining English vocabulary and Chinese grammar.
D. The local words preventing foreigners from learning Chinese well.
9. What does “smilence” most probably mean?
A. Laughing at somebody.
B. Knowing little about speech.
C. Smiling without being noticed.
D. Saying nothing but to smile.
10. What is Swire’s attitude to Chinglish?
A. It helps him to learn Chinese well.
B. It seems part of Chinese culture.
C. It can show the humour of Chinese.
D. It will attract more foreign tourists.
11. Why is Chinglish likely to become a “cultural relic” in Beijing?
A. Because Beijing is determined to get rid of Chinglish signs.
B. Because Chinglish is a chance to enrich Chinese and English.
C. Because it has become a unique bridge between Chinese and English.
D. Because it improves the understanding between Chinese and foreigners.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。如今,世界英语不单单受美式英语和英式英语的影响,英语词汇和汉语语法的结合还导致了越来越多的“中式英语”的出现。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Nowadays, more Chinglish words have been created, for example, a Chinese idiom is translated as “smilence”, a combination by the English word smile and silence.(现在,更多的中式英语词汇被创造出来,例如,一个汉语成语被翻译成“smilence”,由英语单词微笑和沉默组合而成。)”可知,文中举的中式英语的例子都是把英语词汇按照汉语语法表达出来,与C选项描述相符。故选C项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段smilence一词后的内容“a combination by the English word smile and silence(是由英语单词“微笑”和“沉默”结合而成的)”可知,smilence是把“微笑”和“沉默”结合,即表示“笑而不语”。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中Swire说话的内容“I think if the translations of English in China were all perfect, then something would be lost from Chinese culture. (我认为如果中国的英语翻译都很完美,那么中国文化就会丢失一些东西)”可知,他认为中式英语是中国文化的一部分。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Beijing has made a comprehensive plan to improve foreign language services and correct Chinglish within five years. “It is very ridiculous to sec Chinglish on the signs in some scenic spots. And they are a kind of barrier for communication between Chinese and people from other countries,” a Beijinger said.(北京已经制定了一项全面计划,在五年内提高外语服务和纠正中式英语。一个北京人说道:“在一些景点看到中式英语的标语是很可笑的。并且它们也是中国人与其他外国人交流的障碍。”)”可推知,所以所谓的中式英语会成为文化遗迹就是指,在政府的政策下会逐渐消除中式英语,尤其是那些标语。故选A项。

Robots are often cast in popular science fiction as the bad characters that take over the world and enslave mankind. But with the beginning of some serious diseases, robots are increasingly being employed as helpers, taking on often dull, difficult and dangerous tasks and thus reducing humans' exposure to some terrifying virus.
In the United States, two of the main ways in which robotic technology is being used in the hospitals are to disinfect(消毒)hospital rooms and act as a telemedicine portal, allowing doctors and health care workers to communicate via video conference directly with patients without unnecessarily exposing themselves to those highly infectious virus.
In Boston, doctors, researchers and robotics engineers have teamed up to bring a friendly, dog-like, four-legged robot named Spot into Brigham and Women' s Hospital, allowing doctors to communicate with patients via telemedicine.
In March, at the start of the pandemic, a league from hospital, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Spot's manufacturer-Boston Dynamnics, began testing the robot's design to enable Spot to communicate with patients, thus reducing the exposure of frontline health care workers to the virus. In the place of a head, Spot has an iPad affixed to a stand, allowing doctors to conduct telemedicine services with their patients.
“Most people actually really like it,” says Dr. Peter Chai, an emergency medicine physician who serves as the hospital's chief researcher on the robot project.
Researchers are working to increase the robot's diagnostic abilities, enabling it to measure the patients temperature and his or her respiratory rate (呼吸率).
Chai predicts that hospitals will continue to find more ways to use robots, and tie wonders whether robots can deliver supplies to rooms or see patients with other infectious diseases
12. What words can best describe the jobs robots are employed to do?
A. Normal and easy. B. Exciting and dangerous.
C. Dirty and complex. D. Frightening and difficult.
13. Why are robots being used in American hospitals?
A. To save money. B. To replace doctors.
C. To protect doctors from infecting virus. D. To deliver supplies to patients and doctors.
14. What do we know about Spot?
A. It is a friendly dog.
B. It can deliver supplies to hospital rooms.
C. It can help adjust the patient's temperature.
D. It allows doctors to conduct telemedicine services.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Spot the Robot Dog
B. Train Robot Doctors
C. Robots Being Used in Hospital
D. Robots in Popular Science Fiction
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. C

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Four habits of happy people
While the recent research has shown that about 60 percent of our baseline (基本) level of happiness is probably genetically determined, it means 40 percent is under our control. You can’t go back and get new genes.___16___. Here are the good habits of happy people.
·Spend time outside. If you can clock 20 minutes a day outside, studies show you’ll not only maintain a better mood, but your mind will be more open and you’ll improve your working memory. _____17_____.
·Exercise regularly. All exercise releases endorphins (脑内肽) in your brain, and if you work out regularly, this mood boosts(增强)even carries over to non-workout days._____18_____. Mood stays about the same on days they don’t.
____19____. A study has confirmed that when people actively try to be happy, they raise their baseline moods, making them feel happier than those who do not try. In the study, two sets of participants listened to “happy” music. Those who actively tried to feel happier reported the highest level of positive mood afterwards.
·Care for others. _____20_____. Volunteer work is good for both mental and physical health. People of all ages who volunteer are happier and experience better physical health and less depression.
A. Exercise is easy to do.
B. Put effort into being happy.

D. Sunshine and fresh air make you feel good too.
E. But you can start a good morning over with a new attitude.
F. People who spend time every month helping others are happier.
G. On exercise days, people’s mood is significantly improved after exercising.
【答案】16. E 17. D 18. G 19. B 20. F
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了快乐人群四个习惯。
【16题详解】
设空在段中,承前启后的作用。根据前文内容“You can’t go back and get new genes(你不能重组基因)”,而后文内容“Here are the good habits of happy people.”提及了幸福人的好习惯,可推知所填空应是对前文的转折,且呼应后文幸福可以由自身习惯决定。选项E:But you can start a good morning over with a new attitude.(但是你可以用新的态度来开始一个美好的早晨)符合语境分析。故选E项。
【17题详解】
设空在段末,呼应主旨句。根据本段主题句:Spend time outside.(花时间在外面。)可知,本段主要讲述了在户外对于好情绪的影响。选项D “Sunshine and fresh air make you feel good too.”提及了阳光和新鲜空气对于好心情的帮助,符合本段主旨。故选D项。
【18题详解】
设空在段中,承前启后的作用。根据前文内容:All exercise releases endorphins in your brain, and if you work out regularly, this mood boosts even carries over to non-workout days.(所有的运动都会在你的大脑中释放内啡肽,如果你经常锻炼,这种情绪就会持续到不锻炼的日子。)可知本段主要讲述做运动带来的心情方面的有利之处在运动当日和非运动日都有效,且后文已经提及非运动日,因此可推知,所填空为运动当日的“好心情”,选项G:On exercise days, people’s mood is significantly improved after exercising.(在运动日,人们的情绪在运动后明显改善。)符合语境分析。故选G项。
19题详解】
设空处为本段小标题,应是中心主旨。根据后文内容:A study has confirmed that when people actively try to be happy, they raise their baseline moods, making them feel happier than those who do not try.(一项研究证实,当人们积极尝试快乐时,他们会提高自己的基准情绪,让自己比那些不努力的人更快乐。)可知,本段主要讲述了“努力使自己快乐”的积极作用。选项B:Put effort into being happy.(努力让自己快乐。)符合本段中心主旨。故选B项。
【20题详解】
设空处在段中,紧跟主旨标题,应为主旨句支持解释句。根据小标题“Care for others(关爱他人)”可知,所填句子应解释关爱他人对情绪带来好处。选项F:People who spend time every month helping others are happier.(每个月花时间帮助别人的人更快乐。)符合语境分析。故选F项。
【点睛】七选五技巧—连词的暗示
在做七选五题目时,无论是在文章中还是在所提供的选项中,连词是值得注意的。它们往往成为答案的线索或成为答案的可能性很大。如一些表示转折的连词,though,but,however,yet,nevertheless等,另外还有一些表示并列关系的词,如therefore,and,aswellas,also,neithernor,eitheror,not only...but also,on one hand....on the other hand等。因为这些连词可以表现句子与句子之间的关系,通过不同的连词我们可以推知句子与句子之间不同的关系。
比如文章第1小题:
While the recent research has shown that about 60 percent of our baseline (基本) level of happiness is probably genetically determined, it means 40 percent is under our control. You can’t go back and get new genes.___1___. Here are the good habits of happy people.
在做此题时,可以注意到,空前的一句话含有否定词“can’t”,而后面的句子“Here are the good habits of happy people.”是肯定句。说明所填的句子应是转折句,才能起到承前启后的作用,将两个句子衔接起来。因此选项E“But you can start a good morning over with a new attitude.”中的连词“but”可以起到很好的语境衔接作用。且符合句意主旨。因此第1小题答案为E项。

考查名词。句意:这一天提醒我们旅游业的重要性,以及它如何将来自世界不同地区的人们聚集在一起。分析句子结构可知,此处为名词作介词of的宾语,important的名词为importance意为“重要性”,且为不可数名词。故填importance。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意:我们还可以看到令人惊叹的地标和自然奇观,如山脉、海洋和森林。分析句子结构可知,此处为形容词作定语修饰名词landmarks (地标) 和natural wonders,此处修饰的是物,所以使用amaze的形容词amazing,意为“令人惊叹的”符合句意。故填amazing。
【39题详解】
考查连词。句意:有些人喜欢去大城市旅行,而另一些人喜欢去小城镇或农村地区。分析句子结构可知,此处为连词连接两个句子,结合句意可知,两个句子之间可理解为表示转折或者是对比关系,所以使用连词but或者是while。故填while/but。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:当人们到某地旅游时,他们会把钱花在食物、酒店和礼物上,这有助于创造就业机会和支持当地商业。分析句子结构可知,此处为固定短语spend time/money on sth.意为“在……上花时间(金钱)”符合句意。故填on。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:当人们到某地旅游时,他们会把钱花在食物、酒店和礼物上,这有助于创造就业机会和支持当地商业。分析句子结构可知,此处为名词作宾语,job为可数名词单数,空前无限定词时使用名词复数形式,表示泛指意义。故填jobs。
【42题详解】

【43题详解】
考查代词。句意:然而,我们必须提醒自己,旅游业可以影响环境和当地文化。分析句子结构可知,此处为代词作宾语,结合句意,句子主语和宾语为同一人,应使用反身代词,they的反身代词为themselves。故填ourselves。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:无论如何,世界旅游日是我们庆祝旅游业的好处并学习如何确保旅游业不损害环境或生活在我们所参观的地方的人们的日子。分析句子结构可知,此处为“疑问词+to do sth.”结构作learn的宾语,所以此处应使用不定式形式,结合句意,此处表示主动意义。故填to make。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:无论如何,世界旅游日是我们庆祝旅游业的好处并学习如何确保旅游业不损害环境或生活在我们所参观的地方的人们的日子。分析句子结构可知,此处为关系词引导的定语从句,从句中缺少主语,使用关系代词,先行词people指人,所以此处使用who或者that。故填who/that。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
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。
About ten years ago, my wife and I took a trip to the Grand Canyon in Arizona. I didn't like to carry all my keys in my pocket during a hike, so I took away the key to the car and left the rest in the car. When we came back, I put the key somewhere in the car without reattaching(把……重新连上) it to the keyring. Then we made a fire, cooked some food, and went to sleep in the back of the SUV.
The next morning, we were cleaning up our campsite when I saw a bird inside my car. I walked over, and it flew away. When we got in the car to go home, I couldn't find the key. We searched and searched, even emptying out the car completely, but it was gone.
Then it hit me that the bird must have taken it. After all, those birds are known for stealing shiny things and decorating their nests with them. Keys are shiny. The bird was the thief! It made perfect sense to me. So I decided to find its nest.
But there was a problem: As everyone knows, the Grand Canyon is a little large in area, so I didn't have confidence in actually finding a certain nest belonging to a certain bird in a certain tree in all that space. But what other choices did I have?
My wife was not encouraging me. She said, “Are you crazy? You'll never find it! The Grand Canyon is one of the biggest holes on Earth!” I didn't answer and walked steadily forward until her laughter died away.
I struggled to keep hope as I searched dozens of trees and tracked every singing bird. It was like searching a needle in the sea. But, oh, how great my victory would be when I held the missing key from the bird's nest!
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
After two hours of search, I finally gave up and returned to the car.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The next day, we stopped at a service centre for lunch.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
After two hours of search, I finally gave up and returned to the car. Then I found my wife relaxing in a chair, drinking a cup of coffee. She was really smart. The next challenge was to get a new key. Luckily, another family came to the campsite, so I asked them to send for a locksmith. They promised they would. Five hours later, the locksmith showed up and he charged me twice the normal amount for making a new key.
Paragraph 2:
The next day, we stopped at a service centre for lunch. I pulled out the cup holder and the missing key was sitting right there. Imagine my embarrassment! It was the only place we didn't look at. And guess who put it there! My wife! We actually both made mistakes because I had pushed the cup holder back without noticing the key. I got out of the car, looked up at the sky and said, “Bird, I was wrong about you. I'm sorry.”
【解析】
