During our final part of the term studying theater and performance at the University of Leeds, I found myself standing outside Berkeley Court care home on a rainy afternoon with three course mates and an underdeveloped idea. We planned to do sensory stimulation workshops with the residents living with dementia (痴呆), in an attempt to inspire memory and social engagement.
I had a CD player under my arm because we had decided to play music at the end of the program. If the average age of the residents was about 80, I thought they probably would have been listening to Frank Sinatra in their late 20s. We went with My Way because we all recognized it was energetic enough.
Some residents were almost nonverbal, some were clearly experiencing hallucinations (幻觉), some were happy to see us and some were not. Sheepishly putting the song lyrics on each table “just in case” anyone fancied singing along, I remember thinking that we had probably got this very wrong. I moved quietly to the back of the room and hesitantly pressed play.
It was as if a spell had been cast. Nearly everyone in the room stood up and sang what seemed like every word. The song sheets remained untouched. I was deeply moved. Looking to either side of me, I saw I wasn’t the only one with tears in my eyes. Many of the residents were now communicating with far greater clarity than they had been seconds before. It felt, and looked, like magic.
Now I am an actor. Creating work for, or about, people living with dementia has formed a fixed part of my career over the past decade. That moment at Berkeley Court fundamentally changed my life.
4. Why did the author come to Berkeley Court care home?
A. To help with medical research.
B. To show his regard for senior residents.
C. To participate in a musical performance.
D. To provide dementia intervention and care.
5. What did the author consider when choosing the music?
A The release date. B. The easy lyrics. C. The touching beat. D. The player’s quality.
6. How did the author feel before playing the song?
A. Excited. B. Ashamed. C. Doubtful. D. Confident.
7. What can we know about the author’s moment at Berkeley Court?
A. It had little significant effect on the author’s career.
B. It made the author decide to become a music teacher.
C. It inspired the author to focus on creating work related to dementia.
D. It convinced the author to abandon the idea of working with the elderly.
C
If just looking at honeycomb (蜂巢) is enough to make you feel uncomfortable or afraid, you might suffer from trypophobia (密集恐惧症). Researchers from the University of Essex surveyed 283 people aged 19 to 22. The participants were shown images of a lotus seed pod (莲篷) and honeycomb, which are often said to trigger trypophobia. The participants were then asked 17 questions of the standard Trypophobia Questionnaire in which they rated how strongly they felt about the trypophobia images. It includes common trypophobia reactions like “feel like panicking” or “feel sick”.
The researchers discovered that those who had already heard of trypophobia were more upset by images of crowded small holes and were more likely to be trypophobia. Their results support the idea that trypophobia is a socially learned fear, rather than something we are born with.
Trypophobia is not yet a medically recognized condition, but since it was first studied in 2013 it has spread widely on the internet. The researchers point out: that a dislike: of images of closely packed holds was more common among women and young people who snakes, the researchers suggest that social media teaches people to be scared of clustered holes.
However, Dr Coles said, “Social learning is a contributor, not the only explanation.” Researchers have suggested some theories to explain why trypophobia might arise from the internet. One is Dr Cole’s original suggestion from 2013, called the aposematism theory, which points out the similarity between patterns that induce trypophobia and the patterns of dangerous animals. The patterns on poison frogs and snakes ear all bring about trypophobia responses. This suggests that the fear might be a natural reaction to features often found in dangerous animals.
However, if you do find yourself suffering: from trypophobia, there is still some hope. Dr Cole said that he used to experience trypophobia but is now completely unaffected by trypophobia images, having spent so much time looking at them.
8. Which aspect of participants does the Trypophobia Questionnaire measure?
A. Their levels of trypophobia. B. Their reasons for trypophobia.
C. Their attitude towards trypophobia. D. Their knowledge about trypophobia.
9. What do the researchers find out about trypophobia?
A. Its health impact is lasting. B. It is primarily a medical condition:
C. Its spread is driven by the internet. D. It might lead to: growing social anxiety.
10. What does the underlined word “induce” probably mean in paragraph 4?
A. Cause. B. Introduce. C. Quit. D. Spread.
11. What is Dr Cole’s advice to people affected by trypophobia?
A. Avoid social media. B. Increase exposure to related photos.
C. Take medications as directed. D. Search for a mental health professional.
D
Suppose you get a new shirt without planning on a new jacket — what then? You were content with your old jacket, but once you pair it with the new shirt, it suddenly seems worn out. Then you can’t help buying a new jacket or even more to better fit the shirt. Before you realize it, you have a whole new wardrobe, and maybe an empty bank account.
This is called the Diderot Effect. Denis Diderot, a well-known French philosopher, was too poor to afford a dowry (嫁妆) for his daughter. His only valuable possessions were books. Hearing of Diderot’s economic troubles, Catherine the Great, the Empress of Russia, offered to buy his library at a high price. Shortly after this lucky sale, Diderot bought a new dressing gown which had a huge influence on his life. As he wrote in the article in 1769, the new dressing gown made his other belongings seem old and unattractive. His need for unity left him with a desire to improve his stuff so that it matched his new dressing gown.
According to many social scientists, it resulted from a psychological need for our possessions to go together and to show our self-image. In 1988, anthropologist (人类学家) Grant McCracken coined the term “the Diderot Effect” to describe this need and its influence on consumerism.
Marketers make use of this need by displaying products in what McCracken calls Diderot Unities. An example is a Swedish furniture company, whose marketing uses two kinds of Diderot Unities in its shops, websites and catalogues (目录). One is dividing items like lamps and carpets into various furniture “families”. The other is displaying items in fully furnished rooms, where shops try to create the Diderot Effect, making the buyer want the entire package.
We may sometimes give in to the Diderot Effect, but knowing it exists can help us control its effects, so we don’t end up regretting our purchases. Before buying something, ask yourself, is it necessary? Then, buy items that match what you already have. And remind yourself that a new chair won’t transform your bedroom into a showroom!
12. What is the function of paragraph 1?
A. To explain a term. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To present a finding. D. To raise a problem.
13. Which of the following may be a typical example of the Diderot Effect?
A. Showing off what one has bought. B. Regretting for all that has been bought.
C. Tending to buy unnecessary items. D. Looking down upon one’s own self-image.
14. How does the Swedish company use Diderot Unities in marketing?
A By displaying items alone. B. By offering catalogues on items.
C. By focusing on one furniture style. D. By grouping items into “families” and rooms.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Consumerism: the more, the better B. Keep an eye on your bank account
C. The Diderot Effect: a double-edged sword D. Have you ever given in to the Diderot Effect?

How to be a good basketball player
Here are tips to help you improve your performance on the court:
Master ball handling skills
The ability to handle the ball is arguably the most important skill in basketball. When it comes to improving the handling of the ball, you need to learn the correct dribbling posture (运球姿势) and keep practicing it. ____16____ If you practice a lot, you won’t have to think too hard about dribbling.
Get in good shape
____17____ Therefore, building endurance (耐力) is essential to playing an entire game. This is important, considering that you can’t use your skills best if you struggle to keep up after, say, 5 minutes of play. To build endurance, hit the gym daily before basketball training.
Improve game speed
If you train alone, it can possibly be challenging to maintain good form during a real game, depending on how you train. For this reason, when practicing basketball, try to mimic the speed of a real game by pretending that there are several defenders. This will go a long way to helping you master good game speed. ____18____
Practice how to create space from defenders
When practicing, have some of your teammates act as defenders to help you improve your striking skills. When playing, pay attention to the defender’s feet and hands to create a better opportunity to bypass them with the ball in your hands. ____19____
Identify and work on improving your weak spots
To improve your ball-handling techniques, you need to identify your weak areas and work tirelessly on improving them.____20____ In general, to become an excellent player, you need to identify and correct all of your weaknesses.
A. Basketball is a physically challenging sport.
B. The best way to improve as a basketball player is to find a mate.
C. Use your shoulders to create space between the defender and the ball.
D. For the most part, the right dribbling posture means staying balanced.
E. However, improving your basketball skills might be harder than you think.
F. For example, if you are weak at free throw shooting, spend more time practicing it.
G. Otherwise, you might do well in practice, but fail in actual game due to poor speed.

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。
Recently divorced, I had no job and was on my way downtown to go the rounds of the employment offices. I sat down in the streetcar — and there against the seat was a beautiful silk umbrella with a silver handle.
I got off the streetcar in a downpour and thankfully opened the umbrella to protect myself. I examined the handle and saw a name carved on it. Then I searched a telephone book for the name on the umbrella and found it. I called and a lady answered.
She said in surprise that it was her umbrella, which her parents, now dead, had given her for a birthday present and it had been stolen from her locker at school (she was a teacher) more than a year before.
I managed to find her and gave the umbrella back to her. She took the umbrella, and her eyes were filled with tears. The teacher wanted to give me a reward, but I declined her. We talked for a while, and I left after giving her my address at her request.
My last job ended the day before Christmas, my thirty-dollar rent was soon due, and I had fifteen dollars to my name — which Peggy and I would need for food. I had already purchased my daughter a small tree, and we were going to decorate it that night.
The air was full of the sound of Christmas merriment as I walked from the streetcar to my small apartment. Bells rang and children shouted in the cold dusk of the evening, and windows were lighted and everyone was running and laughing. But there should be no Christmas for me, I knew, no gifts, no remembrance what so ever.
I felt so helpless and so lonely. What was to become of us? We would have only hamburgers for our Christmas dinner tomorrow. I stood in the cold little kitchen, misery overwhelmed me.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Suddenly, the doorbell rang and I ran to answer it, only to find a pile of boxes beside the door.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Seeing these surprises from the teacher, I knew we would have food and ornaments (装饰品) for this Christmas.

During our final part of the term studying theater and performance at the University of Leeds, I found myself standing outside Berkeley Court care home on a rainy afternoon with three course mates and an underdeveloped idea. We planned to do sensory stimulation workshops with the residents living with dementia (痴呆), in an attempt to inspire memory and social engagement.
I had a CD player under my arm because we had decided to play music at the end of the program. If the average age of the residents was about 80, I thought they probably would have been listening to Frank Sinatra in their late 20s. We went with My Way because we all recognized it was energetic enough.
Some residents were almost nonverbal, some were clearly experiencing hallucinations (幻觉), some were happy to see us and some were not. Sheepishly putting the song lyrics on each table “just in case” anyone fancied singing along, I remember thinking that we had probably got this very wrong. I moved quietly to the back of the room and hesitantly pressed play.
It was as if a spell had been cast. Nearly everyone in the room stood up and sang what seemed like every word. The song sheets remained untouched. I was deeply moved. Looking to either side of me, I saw I wasn’t the only one with tears in my eyes. Many of the residents were now communicating with far greater clarity than they had been seconds before. It felt, and looked, like magic.
Now I am an actor. Creating work for, or about, people living with dementia has formed a fixed part of my career over the past decade. That moment at Berkeley Court fundamentally changed my life.
4. Why did the author come to Berkeley Court care home?
A. To help with medical research.
B. To show his regard for senior residents.
C. To participate in a musical performance.
D. To provide dementia intervention and care.
5. What did the author consider when choosing the music?
A. The release date. B. The easy lyrics. C. The touching beat. D. The player’s quality.
6. How did the author feel before playing the song?
A. Excited. B. Ashamed. C. Doubtful. D. Confident.
7. What can we know about the author’s moment at Berkeley Court?
A. It had little significant effect on the author’s career.
B. It made the author decide to become a music teacher.
C. It inspired the author to focus on creating work related to dementia.
D. It convinced the author to abandon the idea of working with the elderly.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. C

If just looking at honeycomb (蜂巢) is enough to make you feel uncomfortable or afraid, you might suffer from trypophobia (密集恐惧症). Researchers from the University of Essex surveyed 283 people aged 19 to 22. The participants were shown images of a lotus seed pod (莲篷) and honeycomb, which are often said to trigger trypophobia. The participants were then asked 17 questions of the standard Trypophobia Questionnaire in which they rated how strongly they felt about the trypophobia images. It includes common trypophobia reactions like “feel like panicking” or “feel sick”.
The researchers discovered that those who had already heard of trypophobia were more upset by images of crowded small holes and were more likely to be trypophobia. Their results support the idea that trypophobia is a socially learned fear, rather than something we are born with.
Trypophobia is not yet a medically recognized condition, but since it was first studied in 2013 it has spread widely on the internet. The researchers point out: that a dislike: of images of closely packed holds was more common among women and young people who snakes, the researchers suggest that social media teaches people to be scared of clustered holes.
However, Dr Coles said, “Social learning is a contributor, not the only explanation.” Researchers have suggested some theories to explain why trypophobia might arise from the internet. One is Dr Cole’s original suggestion from 2013, called the aposematism theory, which points out the similarity between patterns that induce trypophobia and the patterns of dangerous animals. The patterns on poison frogs and snakes ear all bring about trypophobia responses. This suggests that the fear might be a natural reaction to features often found in dangerous animals.
However if you do find yourself suffering: from trypophobia, there is still some hope. Dr Cole said that he used to experience trypophobia but is now completely unaffected by trypophobia images, having spent so much time looking at them.
8. Which aspect of participants does the Trypophobia Questionnaire measure?
A. Their levels of trypophobia. B. Their reasons for trypophobia.
C. Their attitude towards trypophobia. D. Their knowledge about trypophobia.
9. What do the researchers find out about trypophobia?
A. Its health impact is lasting. B. It is primarily a medical condition:
C. Its spread is driven by the internet. D. It might lead to: growing social anxiety.
10. What does the underlined word “induce” probably mean in paragraph 4?
A. Cause. B. Introduce. C. Quit. D. Spread.
11. What is Dr Cole’s advice to people affected by trypophobia?
A. Avoid social media. B. Increase exposure to related photos.
C. Take medications as directed. D. Search for a mental health professional.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了密集恐惧症(trypophobia)的相关研究。尽管密集恐惧症尚未被医学界正式认可为一种疾病,但研究人员提出了多种理论来解释其起源;同时文章指出通过长时间接触这类图像,人们对密集恐惧症的恐惧感可能会减轻。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“The participants were then asked 17 questions of the standard Trypophobia Questionnaire in which they rated how strongly they felt about the trypophobia images. (参与者随后被要求填写一份标准的密集恐惧症问卷,其中包括17个问题,用以评估他们对密集恐惧症图片的强烈感受程度。) ”可知,Trypophobia Questionnaire(密集恐惧症问卷)衡量的是参与者对密集恐惧症的恐惧程度,即他们的密集恐惧症水平。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Trypophobia is not yet a medically recognized condition, but since it was first studied in 2013 it has spread widely on the internet. (密集恐惧症尚未被医学界正式认定为一种疾病,但自2013年首次研究以来,它已在互联网上广泛传播。) ”可知,研究人员发现密集恐惧症的传播是由互联网驱动的。故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第四段中的“One is Dr Cole’s original suggestion from 2013, called the aposematism theory, which points out the similarity between patterns that induce trypophobia and the patterns of dangerous animals. (其中一种是科尔博士2013年提出的原始假设,称为警戒色理论,该理论指出了……密集恐惧症的图案与危险动物图案之间的相似性。) ”以及“The patterns on poison frogs and snakes ear all bring about trypophobia responses. (毒蛙和蛇耳朵上的图案都会引起密集恐惧症的反应。)”可知,后文通过列举毒蛙和蛇耳朵上的图案都会引起密集恐惧症的反应的例子说明,科尔博士2013年提出的警戒色理论,即密集恐惧症的图案与危险动物图案是相似的,都会引发密集恐惧症。故划线词与A选项“Cause.(导致)”为同义词。故选A。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“Dr Cole said that he used to experience trypophobia but is now completely unaffected by trypophobia images, having spent so much time looking at them. (科尔博士说,他以前患过密集恐惧症,但现在完全不受密集恐惧症图片的影响,因为他花了大量时间去看这些图片。)”可知,科尔博士以前患过密集恐惧症,但现在完全不受密集恐惧症图片的影响,因为他花了大量时间去看这些图片,因此科尔博士建议那些受密集恐惧症影响的人增加对相关照片的接触。故选B。

Suppose you get a new shirt without planning on a new jacket — what then? You were content with your old jacket, but once you pair it with the new shirt, it suddenly seems worn out. Then you can’t help buying a new jacket or even more to better fit the shirt. Before you realize it, you have a whole new wardrobe, and maybe an empty bank account.
This is called the Diderot Effect. Denis Diderot, a well-known French philosopher, was too poor to afford a dowry (嫁妆) for his daughter. His only valuable possessions were books. Hearing of Diderot’s economic troubles, Catherine the Great, the Empress of Russia, offered to buy his library at a high price. Shortly after this lucky sale, Diderot bought a new dressing gown which had a huge influence on his life. As he wrote in the article in 1769, the new dressing gown made his other belongings seem old and unattractive. His need for unity left him with a desire to improve his stuff so that it matched his new dressing gown.
According to many social scientists, it resulted from a psychological need for our possessions to go together and to show our self-image. In 1988, anthropologist (人类学家) Grant McCracken coined the term “the Diderot Effect” to describe this need and its influence on consumerism.
Marketers make use of this need by displaying products in what McCracken calls Diderot Unities. An example is a Swedish furniture company, whose marketing uses two kinds of Diderot Unities in its shops, websites and catalogues (目录). One is dividing items like lamps and carpets into various furniture “families”. The other is displaying items in fully furnished rooms, where shops try to create the Diderot Effect, making the buyer want the entire package.
We may sometimes give in to the Diderot Effect but knowing it exists can help us control its effects, so we don’t end up regretting our purchases. Before buying something, ask yourself, is it necessary? Then, buy items that match what you already have. And remind yourself that a new chair won’t transform your bedroom into a showroom!
12. What is the function of paragraph 1?
A To explain a term. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To present a finding. D. To raise a problem.
13. Which of the following may be a typical example of the Diderot Effect?
A. Showing off what one has bought. B. Regretting for all that has been bought.
C. Tending to buy unnecessary items. D. Looking down upon one’s own self-image.
14. How does the Swedish company use Diderot Unities in marketing?
A. By displaying items alone. B. By offering catalogues on items.
C. By focusing on one furniture style. D. By grouping items into “families” and rooms.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Consumerism: the more, the better B. Keep an eye on your bank account
C. The Diderot Effect: a double-edged sword D. Have you ever given in to the Diderot Effect?
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了狄德罗效应(Diderot Effect),这是一种心理现象,指的是当人们获得一件新物品后,为了保持物品之间的协调和匹配,人们往往会购买更多的新物品,从而可能导致过度消费。

推理判断题。由第一段中“Suppose you get a new shirt without planning on a new jacket — what then? You were content with your old jacket, but once you pair it with the new shirt, it suddenly seems worn out. Then you can’t help buying a new jacket or even more to better fit the shirt. Before you realize it, you have a whole new wardrobe, and maybe an empty bank account. (假设你买了一件新衬衫,却没打算买一件新夹克,那该怎么办?你对你的旧夹克很满意,但一旦你把它和新衬衫搭配起来,它突然就显得破旧了。然后你忍不住买了一件新夹克,甚至更多,以更好地匹配衬衫。在你意识到之前,你已经有了一个全新的衣柜,也许还有一个空的银行账户)”和第二段中“This is called the Diderot Effect. (这被称为狄德罗效应)”可知,第一段通过一个日常生活中的例子,引出了文章讨论的主题——狄德罗效应。故选B项。
【13题详解】

【15题详解】
主旨大意题。由最后一段中“We may sometimes give in to the Diderot Effect, but knowing it exists can help us control its effects, so we don’t end up regretting our purchases. (我们有时可能会屈服于狄德罗效应,但知道它的存在可以帮助我们控制它的影响,这样我们就不会后悔我们的购买)”可知,这句话直接提到了人们可能会屈服于狄德罗效应,但了解它的存在可以帮助我们控制它,以免后悔购买物品。D项“你曾经屈服于狄德罗效应吗?”作为标题能够很好地概括文章的主要内容。故选D项。

Here are tips to help you improve your performance on the court:
Master ball handling skills
The ability to handle the ball is arguably the most important skill in basketball. When it comes to improving the handling of the ball, you need to learn the correct dribbling posture (运球姿势) and keep practicing it. ____16____ If you practice a lot, you won’t have to think too hard about dribbling.
Get in good shape
____17____ Therefore, building endurance (耐力) is essential to playing an entire game. This is important, considering that you can’t use your skills best if you struggle to keep up after, say, 5 minutes of play. To build endurance, hit the gym daily before basketball training.
Improve game speed
If you train alone, it can possibly be challenging to maintain good form during a real game, depending on how you train. For this reason, when practicing basketball, try to mimic the speed of a real game by pretending that there are several defenders. This will go a long way to helping you master good game speed. ____18____
Practice how to create space from defenders
When practicing, have some of your teammates act as defenders to help you improve your striking skills. When playing, pay attention to the defender’s feet and hands to create a better opportunity to bypass them with the ball in your hands. ____19____
Identify and work on improving your weak spots
To improve your ball-handling techniques, you need to identify your weak areas and work tirelessly on improving them.____20____ In general, to become an excellent player, you need to identify and correct all of your weaknesses.
A. Basketball is a physically challenging sport.
B. The best way to improve as a basketball player is to find a mate.
C. Use your shoulders to create space between the defender and the ball.
D. For the most part, the right dribbling posture means staying balanced.
E. However, improving your basketball skills might be harder than you think.
F. For example, if you are weak at free throw shooting, spend more time practicing it.
G. Otherwise, you might do well in practice, but fail in actual game due to poor speed.

【18题详解】
根据上文“For this reason, when practicing basketball, try to mimic the speed of a real game by pretending that there are several defenders. This will go a long way to helping you master good game speed.(因此,在练习篮球时,试着通过假装有几个防守队员来模仿真实比赛的速度。这将大大有助于你掌握良好的比赛速度)”可知,此处强调模仿真实比赛速度的重要性。G项“Otherwise, you might do well in practice, but fail in actual game due to poor speed.(否则,你可能在练习中表现得很好,但在实际比赛中由于速度不佳而失败)”与上下文衔接自然,故选G项。
【19题详解】
根据上文“When practicing, have some of your teammates act as defenders to help you improve your striking skills. When playing, pay attention to the defender's feet and hands to create a better opportunity to bypass them with the ball in your hands.(在练习时,让一些队友充当防守队员,以帮助你提高打击技能。在比赛中,注意防守队员的脚和手,以便创造更好的机会在手中有球的情况下绕过他们)”可知,此处应进一步解释如何利用身体部位创造空间。C项“Use your shoulders to create space between the defender and the ball.(用你的肩膀在防守队员和球之间创造空间)”与上下文衔接自然,故选C项。

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了中国知名网红李子柒在停止更新视频三年后,于11月12日下午惊喜回归。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:李子柒,中国最受欢迎的网络名人之一,在停止发布视频三年多后的11月12日下午惊人回归。comeback为可数名词,此处表泛指应用不定冠词,且surprising是发音以辅音音素开头的单词,应用a。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意:她的短视频以诗意的方式描绘了乡村生活,涵盖了与中国传统文化相关的各种手工艺,李的手仿佛有魔法,没有什么是不可能的。craft为名词,应用形容词修饰,vary的形容词为various,作定语修饰名词crafts。故填various。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在视频中,李子柒经常穿着优雅的传统服饰,日出而作,日落而息,播种、制作竹制家具。分析句子结构可知dress在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语Li构成被动关系,故用过去分词作定语,置于句首单词首字母要大写。故填Dressed。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:李子柒,1990年出生于四川绵阳,6岁时父亲去世后与祖父母一起生活。空处为从句谓语动词,陈述过去的事情,应用一般过去时。故填died。

考查非谓语动词。句意:她14岁开始在城里打工,要不是2012年奶奶生病,她就不会回到儿时的家。句中started与would not have returned为句子的谓语,在句中构成并列,fall在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语grandmother构成主动关系,应用动名词构成动名词复合结构作介词for的宾语。故填falling。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:为了增加销量,她于2016年开始制作短视频,这些短视频随后在国内外走红。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词short videos,先行词在从句中作主语,指物,故用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:一个微博用户曾说:“李的成功在于她对生活的热爱。”结合句意表示“对……的热爱”短语为passion for。故填for。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:有些人表示怀疑,因为在田里辛苦劳作了一天后,她看起来如此完美,这令人难以置信。设空处使用形容词作表语,表示“令人难以置信的”,应用形容词unbelievable。故填unbelievable。
【45题详解】

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。
Recently divorced, I had no job and was on my way downtown to go the rounds of the employment offices. I sat down in the streetcar — and there against the seat was a beautiful silk umbrella with a silver handle.
I got off the streetcar in a downpour and thankfully opened the umbrella to protect myself. I examined the handle and saw a name carved on it. Then I searched a telephone book for the name on the umbrella and found it. I called and a lady answered.
She said in surprise that it was her umbrella, which her parents, now dead, had given her for a birthday present and it had been stolen from her locker at school (she was a teacher) more than a year before.
I managed to find her and gave the umbrella back to her. She took the umbrella, and her eyes were filled with tears. The teacher wanted to give me a reward, but I declined her. We talked for a while, and I left after giving her my address at her request.
My last job ended the day before Christmas, my thirty-dollar rent was soon due, and I had fifteen dollars to my name — which Peggy and I would need for food. I had already purchased my daughter a small tree, and we were going to decorate it that night.
The air was full of the sound of Christmas merriment as I walked from the streetcar to my small apartment. Bells rang and children shouted in the cold dusk of the evening, and windows were lighted and everyone was running and laughing. But there should be no Christmas for me, I knew, no gifts, no remembrance what so ever.
I felt so helpless and so lonely. What was to become of us? We would have only hamburgers for our Christmas dinner tomorrow. I stood in the cold little kitchen, misery overwhelmed me.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;

Suddenly, the doorbell rang and I ran to answer it, only to find a pile of boxes beside the door.

Seeing these surprises from the teacher, I knew we would have food and ornaments (装饰品) for this Christmas.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Suddenly, the doorbell rang and I ran to answer it, only to find a pile of boxes beside the door. “It must be a mistake,” I said, staring at these boxes. With curiosity, Peggy and I sat on the floor and opened them. A huge doll, three times the size of the one I had bought for her. Gloves. Candy. A beautiful leather purse. Incredible! I looked for the name of the sender. Inside one box was a note which read “Thanks for the lost umbrella and wish you a merry Christmas.” It was the teacher who gave me the surprise.
Seeing these surprises from the teacher, I knew we would have food and ornaments (装饰品) for this Christmas. Our dinner that night was the most delicious I had ever eaten. I forgot I had no money for the rent and only fifteen dollars in my purse and no job. My daughter and I ate and laughed together in happiness. Then we decorated the little tree with those ornaments and marveled at it. I put Peggy to bed and set up her gifts around the tree and a sweet peace flooded me. I had some hope again.
