A
You probably know who Marie Curie was but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?
Jane Addams (1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson (1907-1964)
If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)
When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the Supreme Court of the United States. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 25 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks (1913-2005)
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott (抵制). It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.
21. What is Jane Addams noted for in history?
A. Her social work. B. Her teaching skills.
C. Her efforts to win a prize. D. Her community background.
22. What was the reason for O’Connor’s being rejected by the law firm?
A. Her lack of proper training in law.
B. Her little work experience in court.
C. The discrimination against women.
D. The poor financial conditions.
23. What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text?
A. They are highly educated. B. They are truly creative.
C. They are pioneers. D. They are peace-lovers.
【答案】21. A 22. C 23. C
【解析】

【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Jane Addams (1860-1935)”下文介绍中的“Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. (任何曾经得到过社工帮助的人都要感谢Jane Addams。Addams帮助穷人,为和平而努力。她通过为有需要的人建立庇护所和促进教育和服务来鼓励社区意识。)”可知,Jane Addams因为推动了社会工作的发展在历史上出名。故选A项。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)”下文介绍中的 “When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. (1952年,当Sandra Day O’Connor以全班第三名的成绩毕业于斯坦福法学院时,她找不到律师事务所的工作,因为她是女性。)”可知,Sandra Day O’Connor被律师事务所拒绝是因为她是一位女性,也就是针对女性的性别歧视。故选C项。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?(你可能知道Marie Curie是谁,但你可能没有听说过Rachel Carson。在下面列出的杰出女性中,你认为谁是过去100年中最重要的女性?)”可知本文介绍了过去100年里的几位杰出女性;由“Jane Addams (1860-1935)”下文介绍中的“Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. …In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. (任何曾经得到过社工帮助的人都要感谢Jane Addams。Addams帮助穷人,为和平而努力。…… 1931年,Addams成为第一位获得诺贝尔和平奖的美国女性。)”可知,Jane Addams推动了社会工作的发展,帮助穷人,为和平而努力,成为第一位获得诺贝尔和平奖的美国女性;由“Rachel Carson (1907-1964)”下文介绍中的“If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans. (如果没有Rachel Carson,今天的环保运动可能就不会存在。她1962年出版的畅销书《寂静的春天》让人们意识到污染的危险,以及化学物质对人类和世界湖泊和海洋的有害影响。)”可知,Rachel Carson推动环保运动的发展,让人们意识到污染的危险;由“Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)”下文介绍中的“She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the Supreme Court of the United States. (她成为亚利桑那州参议员,并于1981年成为美国最高法院的第一位女性法官。)”可知,Sandra Day O’Connor是美国最高法院的第一位女性法官;由“Rosa Parks (1913-2005)”下文介绍中的“But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott (抵制). It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil rights movement. (但它也引发了蒙哥马利的公共汽车抵制运动。它持续了一年多,并拉开了民权运动的序幕。)”可知,Rosa Parks因为不愿在公共汽车上给一位乘客让座而入狱,这也引发了蒙哥马利的公共汽车抵制运动,拉开了民权运动的序幕;由此可知,文章中所列出的这些女性都是某些行业或运动的先驱者。故选C项。
B
As a child, Emily Blunt had a stutter(结巴) that made it difficult for her to even say her own name. “I started noticing it at 6 or 7,” the London-born actress says. “My grandfather, my uncle and my cousin all stutter. It feels like you’ve got this pretender living in your body.” After a teacher noticed her stutter disappeared whenever she would start to play energetically, he suggested she try performing for the school play. She found that the more she lost herself in characters, the less uncomfortably nervous she felt and the less she would stutter.
Now the star aims to help kids going through the same thing by working with the American Institute for Stuttering. “They understand that how these kids relate to their stutter is usually the issue,” says Blunt. “You’ve got to fall in love with the fact that you’ve got a stutter to accept it. But it’s not all of you. Everyone’s got something-and this is just your thing.”
Blunt’s personal experience has inspired her to help girls everywhere, regardless of the trouble they may face. The A Quiet Place Part II and Jungle Cruise star also supports Malala Fund, created by Nobel Prize winner Malala Yousafzai to break down the barriers preventing more than 130 million girls worldwide from receiving an education. “She’s the most moving, impressive person I’ve ever met,” Blunt says. “What she says is true: When women are given more power in communities, those communities develop quickly and successfully. I want to support Malala until the day I die.”
Giving back is a quality Blunt and husband John Krasinski also hope to pass on to their daughters Hazel, 6, and Violet, 3. “Empathy is highly thought of in our house,” Blunt says. “We tell them all the time, ‘Be brave, be kind.’ ”
24. What challenge did Emily Blunt have to take when young?
A. Learning at school. B. Performing in a play.
C. Speaking fluently. D. Working with others.
25. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. People need to accept who they are. B. Everyone’s got something in the body.
C. It’s a fact that many kids have got a stutter. D. Blunt admitted the fact that she had a stutter.
26. Why did Blunt aim to help girls worldwide?
A. She starred in two films successfully. B. Her husband inspired her to give back.
C. Her daughter suffered from the same disease. D. Her own experience encouraged her to do so.
27. What’s the best title for the text?
A. A London-born Actress B. Passing on the Tradition
C. Giving Girls a Voice D. Living with a Stutter
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍小时候患有口吃的Emily Blunt通过表演逐渐克服了这个问题,后来,这位明星希望通过与美国口吃研究所的合作,帮助经历过同样事情的孩子们。她的个人经历激励她去帮助世界各地的女孩,不管她们可能面临那种麻烦。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中As a child, Emily Blunt had a stutter(结巴) that made it difficult for her to even say her own name.可知当Emily Blunt还是个孩子的时候,她就有口吃,这使得她甚至连自己的名字都说不出来。由此可知,Emily Blunt小时候遇到了说话流利的挑战。故选C。
【25题详解】
句意猜测题。根据上文You’ve got to fall in love with the fact that you’ve got a stutter to accept it.可知你必须接受自己口吃的事实。由此可知,Emily认为人必须接受自己的缺陷,有口吃就是有口吃。故划线句子的意思是“人们需要接受自己”。故选A。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中Blunt’s personal experience has inspired her to help girls everywhere, regardless of the trouble they may face.可知Blunt的个人经历激励她去帮助世界各地的女孩,不管她们可能面临那种麻烦。由此可知,Blunt的目标是帮助全世界的女孩,因为她自己的经历鼓励她这样做。故选D。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中Blunt’s personal experience has inspired her to help girls everywhere, regardless of the trouble they may face. The A Quiet Place Part II and Jungle Cruise star also supports Malala Fund, created by Nobel Prize winner Malala Yousafzai to break down the barriers preventing more than 130 million girls worldwide from receiving an education.可知Blunt的个人经历激励她去帮助世界各地的女孩,不管她们可能面临那种麻烦。这位出演过《宁静之地第二部》和《丛林之旅》的明星还支持诺贝尔奖得主Malala Yousafzai创立的Malala基金,该基金旨在打破全球1.3亿多女孩无法接受教育的障碍。结合文章主要介绍小时候患有口吃的Emily Blunt通过表演逐渐克服了这个问题,后来,这位明星希望通过与美国口吃研究所的合作,帮助经历过同样事情的孩子们。她的个人经历激励她去帮助世界各地的女孩,不管她们可能面临的麻烦。由此可知,C选项“给予女孩发言权”最符合文章标题。故选C。

【31题详解】

Thanks to its proximity (邻近) to England, its successful tourism industry and its multicultural population, Edinburgh is quite a special city in Scotland.
Edinburgh simply makes it with culture during its long holiday season. It is not just its famous festivals in the summer but its Christmas and Hogmanay (除夕) celebrations, which fill the city with tourists from all over the world. Along with the tourists, Edinburgh has lots of students. They bring energy and variety to the culture of the city. Although this can be overwhelming (令人不知所措) at times, if you open your arms to the good that it brings you can get so much out of the city.
The Cycling Gardeners are a part of the local community. By being totally dependent on bikes for transport, we are limited to working within the city centre. We have made life a bit easier on ourselves by using electric bikes, and we often beat cars in traffic and have no problem finding place to park.
We have a great collective team spirit which is very important. Whenever you go there from May to September, you will likely meet both sunshine and rain. But the wet weather can be dealt with by helping each other out, spending time in the many local cafes, catching up with your friends and having a good discussion about the rain!
Without doubt my favourite place in Edinburgh is the Meadows Park. I was born in the hospital overlooking it and grew up in buildings around it. Much of my childhood days were spent there. I met my wife there and it is where I take my young son to play. I have the happiest memories of building snowmen when the snow comes down. I really hope that this winter brings good snow so I can review my own childhood with my son!
32. What does Edinburgh attract visitors most?
A. Its successful industry. B. Its famous festivals.
C. Its rainy seasons. D. Its beautiful view.
33. Compared with driving cars, what’s the advantages of riding electric bikes for Cycling Gardeners?
A. Speed. B. Comfort.
C. Convenience. D. Expense.
34. What does the underlined phrase “catching up” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Getting up. B. Meeting up.
C. Showing up. D. Picking up.
35. Why is the Meadows Park the author’s favorite place in Edinburgh?
A. He has good memories there. B. He was born there.
C. He played with his young son there. D. He met his wife there.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。由于毗邻英格兰、成功的旅游业和多元文化的人口,爱丁堡是苏格兰一个相当特殊的城市。文章对其进行了详细介绍。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“It is not just its famous festivals in the summer but its Christmas and Hogmanay (除夕) celebrations, which fill the city with tourists from all over the world.(这里不仅有夏季著名的节日,还有圣诞节和新年庆祝活动,这些活动吸引了来自世界各地的游客。)”可知,爱丁堡最吸引游客的是其著名的节日。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“We have made life a bit easier on ourselves by using electric bikes, and we often beat cars in traffic and have no problem finding place to park.(通过使用电动自行车,我们让自己的生活变得更轻松,而且我们经常在交通中击败汽车,找地方停车也没有问题。)”可知,与开车相比,骑电动自行车对自行车爱好者来说更方便。故选C。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段最后一句中的“and having a good discussion about the rain!(好好讨论了一下下雨的事)”和“spending time in the many local cafes(在当地的咖啡馆消磨时间)”可知,此处是指和朋友小聚,所以catch up意为“朋友小聚”。故选B。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“I was born in the hospital overlooking it and grew up in buildings around it. Much of my childhood days were spent there. I met my wife there and it is where I take my young son to play. I have the happiest memories of building snowmen when the snow comes down.(我出生在俯瞰它的医院里,在它周围的建筑里长大。我童年的大部分时光都是在那里度过的。我在那里遇到了我的妻子,我带着我年幼的儿子去那里玩。下雪的时候堆雪人是我最快乐的回忆。)”可知,因为在梅多斯公园有很多作者美好的回忆,所以那里是作者在爱丁堡最喜欢的地方。故选A。

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。
Differences do set us apart and cultures are much more representative of differing environment. Going outside to experience how other people live is the best way to learn about different cultures. Here are some tips to help you admire cultural differences.
Learn as much about the local culture as possible before arriving.
It's irresponsible to arrive in a new place without knowing how things usually run. ___36___ Having some knowledge beforehand will help with any culture shock. Travel documentaries and news from foreign countries will give you a much broader worldview from home. Expand your media diet to include other cultures. Even broadening your taste in television will benefit.
____37____
To make-yourself part of the culture if you want to appreciate it. Help cook meals, go to the local bars and join the people, and take public transport. The longer you give yourself in the culture, the more you will learn and get used to share parts of your own culture and life.
One of the great items to bring while traveling is some photos from home. ____38____ No matter where you are, giving a little bit of yourself is a good chance to learn about others. But keep in mind that not everyone will want to learn about your culture. ____39____
Accept odd or extreme cultural practices.
____40____ Remind yourself that culture is a response and reflection to the environment, politics, and resources, not something that appears out of thin air. Noting these triggers (诱因) will help understand the differences.
A. Get out of your comfort zone.
B. Adapt yourself to the new culture.
C. It's also the cause to get shocked upon landing.

【答案】36. C 37. B 38. G 39. D 40. F
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些帮助大家欣赏文化差异的技巧。
【36题详解】
上文“It's irresponsible to arrive in a new place without knowing how things usually run. (如果你来到一个新地方,却不知道事情的运行规律,那是不负责任的)”指出,去一个新地方之前,应该对当地有适当的了解。下文“Having some knowledge beforehand will help with any culture shock. (事先掌握一些知识将有助于应对任何文化冲击)”说明去新地方之前了解相关知识对自己是有帮助的。设空处承上启下,应该说明了去新地方却没做任何准备所导致的结果。C项“这也是着陆时感到震惊的原因。”符合文意,承上启下。故选C项。
【37题详解】
通过下文“The longer you give yourself in the culture, the more you will learn and get used to share parts of your own culture and life. (你在文化中投入的时间越长,你就越能学会并习惯于分享自己的文化和生活)”可知,本段的主旨大意是让自己适应新的文化,设空处总结本段大意。B项“让自己适应新的文化。”符合文意。故选B项。
【38题详解】
上文“One of the great items to bring while traveling is some photos from home. (旅行中最好带的东西之一就是一些家里的照片)”指出,可以在旅行生活中带一些家里的照片。设空处承上启下,下文“No matter where you are, giving a little bit of yourself is a good chance to learn about others. (无论你在哪里,展现一点你自己都是一个了解他人的好机会)”说明要了解他人就要先展现自己。G项“它们允许你将人们带入自己的生活和文化。”承上启下,说明带照片可以让人们更加了解你的生活和文化。故选G项。
【39题详解】
通过上文“But keep in mind that not everyone will want to learn about your culture. (但要记住,不是每个人都想了解你的文化)”可知,并非是人人都想了解你的文化。设空处应该说明如何对待不想了解你的文化的人。D项“如果有人似乎不愿意或不感兴趣,停止。”符合文意,承接上文。故选D项。
【40题详解】
通过下文“Remind yourself that culture is a response and reflection to the environment, politics, and resources, not something that appears out of thin air. (提醒自己,文化是对环境、政治和资源的回应和反映,而不是凭空出现的东西)”可知,文化与环境,政治等因素有关联,所以人们的行为都是有迹可循的。F项“很少有人会无缘无故地“做”事情。”符合文意,引出下文。故选F项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了上海洲际世茂仙境酒店的独特设计与建造背景。
【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意:在上海远郊一个长期废弃的旧采石场,似乎很难成为一个有前景的新热门度假中心选址。site为可数名词,此处表泛指应用不定冠词,且promising是发音以辅音音素开头的单词,应用a。故填a。
【57题详解】
考查介词。句意:但十多年后,上海洲际世茂仙境酒店确实成为了一道值得观赏的风景。more than意为“超过”,为固定搭配。故填than。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这是世界上首个在废弃采石场遗址上建造的地下酒店。空处为非谓语动词作后置定语,hotel与build之间为被动关系,故用过去分词作定语。故填built。
【59题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:18层中有16层位于地下,而最下面的两层实际上是在水下,这里设有一家餐厅和多种客房。结合句意及定冠词the可知,此处使用形容词最高级,low的最高级形式是lowest。故填lowest。
【60题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:18层中有16层位于地下,而最下面的两层实际上是在水下,这里设有一家餐厅和多种客房。room为可数名词,由a wide selection of修饰应用复数形式。故填rooms。
【61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:餐厅的玻璃墙面向水下水族馆,因此用餐者可以一边看着鱼群一边用餐。be able to do sth.为固定搭配,意为“能够做某事”。故填to eat。
【62题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这个采石场杂草丛生,而且很危险。空处作表语,需用形容词dangerous。故填dangerous。
【63题详解】
考查副词。句意:我们冒了一些大风险,因为这完全是未知的领域。修饰形容词unknown应用副词totally,作状语。故填totally。
【64题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:“其目的不仅是功能性的,更是为了创造一个能远离上海喧嚣繁忙的‘仙境’。” Jochman说。空处引导定语从句,先行词place,指物,在定语从句中作主语,故用关系代词which或that引导。故填which/that。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它通过与环境和谐共处来融入其中。fit in doing sth.为固定搭配,意为“适合做某事”,故用动名词作宾语。故填working。

72. A
【解析】
【66题详解】
考查名词。句意:在发现听力有问题的人很难找到工作后,李开了一家餐馆,那里的员工大多是聋人。根据空前的“Li opened a restaurant, where most of the workers”可知,这里描述的是餐馆的员工情况,所以空处应用名词staff“员工”,符合语境。故选C。
【67题详解】
考查形容词。句意:通过制作蛋糕,这个少年已经为该项目筹集了超过1万美元,该项目旨在为缺水地区的人们提供宝贵的清洁水。根据“raised more than $10,000 for the project”和“valuable clean water”可知,这里描述的是清洁水的珍贵,所以空处应用形容词precious“有价值的,宝贵的”,符合语境。故选E。
【68题详解】
考查形容词。句意:温哥华是一个种族多样的城市,有很高比例的来自中国的移民。根据空前的“ethnically”以及空后的“a high percentage of immigrants from China”可知,这里描述的是温哥华的种族多样性,所以空处应用形容词diverse“多样的”,符合语境。故选G。

考查动词。句意:22岁的护理专业毕业生王某因在交通事故中救了一名重伤人员而被当地一家医院录用。根据“was employed by a local hospital”可知,这里描述的是王某被医院录用的原因,所以空处应用动词hire“雇佣”的过去分词形式hired,与前面的was构成被动语态,表示“被雇佣”,符合语境。故选F。
【70题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:事实上,信贷,或者可以稍后偿还的消费资金,自青铜时代以来就已经存在。这里描述的是信贷存在的历史事实,所以空处应用固定短语As a matter of fact“事实上”,符合语境。故选D。
【71题详解】
考查名词。句意:FAST的科学目标之一是寻找宇宙中恒星之间的通信信号。根据“find communication symbols”可知,这里描述的是寻找通信信号,所以空处应用名词signal“信号”的复数形式signals,表示多个信号,符合语境。故选B。
【72题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:我知道这条裙子很漂亮,但说实话,它对我来说太贵了。根据空后的“it’s too expensive for me”可知,这里描述的是对裙子的真实看法,所以空处应用固定短语to be honest“说实话”,符合语境。故选A。
第二节 根据汉语意思完成句子(每空1分,共13分)
73. A good idea ________ ________ him suddenly ________ he had supper yesterday.
昨天吃晚饭的时候,他突然想到一个好主意。
【答案】 ①. occurred ②. to ③. when
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和状语从句。sth occur to sb为固定搭配,意为“某人突然想到”,结合时间状语yesterday可知,使用一般过去时;“________ he had supper yesterday”为时间状语从句,说明“想到主意”的时间点,用when引导,意为“当…… 时候”。故填①occurred;②to;③when。
74. However, some scientists________ ________ to help humans ________ their dream to explore space.
然而,一些科学家决意要帮助人类实现探索太空的梦想。
【答案】 ①. were ②. determined ③. realize(-se)
【解析】
【详解】考查固定搭配和时态。表示“决意要做某事”应用be determined to do sth,陈述过去发生的事情,使用一般过去时,主语为复数名词,be动词用were;表示“实现”应用realize(-se),help sb do sth为固定搭配,意为“帮助某人做某事”。故填①were;②determined;③realize(-se)。
75. To a person , nothing is ________ ________ than their life, and if they entrust me with that life, how could I ________ that trust, saying I’m cold, hungry, or tired?
对一个人来说,生命是最宝贵的。如果人们把生命托付给我,我怎么能说自己冷、自己饿、自己困,而拒绝这份信任呢?
【答案】 ①. more ②. precious ③. refuse
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词比较级和动词用法。第一、二空根据句意“没有什么比生命更宝贵”,用“否定词+比较级”表最高级,“宝贵的”是 precious,比较级为more precious,所以第一空为more,第二空为precious;根据句意,第三空表示“拒绝”对应动词refuse,情态动词could后接原形,所以第三空为refuse。故填①more②precious③refuse。
76. I ________ a Cantonese restaurant that served its food on beautiful ________ plates.
我挑选了一家粤菜馆,他们端出来的菜肴是放在精美的瓷盘子上的。
【答案】 ①. selected ②. china
【解析】
【详解】考查动词。第一空表示“挑选”用动词select,发生在过去用一般过去时;第二空表示“瓷器”用名词china,作定语。故填①selected②china。
77. she was known as the “mother of ten thousand babies”, ________ ________ over 50,000babies in her lifetime.
她被称为“万婴之母”,她一生中亲手接生的婴儿有五万多名。
【答案】 ①. having ②. delivered
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。表示“接生”应用动词deliver,此处为非谓语动词作状语,she和deliver为逻辑主谓关系,需用现在分词形式,deliver发生在was known as之前,需用现在分词的完成式。故填①having;②delivered。

As a child, Emily Blunt had a stutter(结巴) that made it difficult for her to even say her own name. “I started noticing it at 6 or 7,” the London-born actress says. “My grandfather, my uncle and my cousin all stutter. It feels like you’ve got this pretender living in your body.” After a teacher noticed her stutter disappeared whenever she would start to play energetically, he suggested she try performing for the school play. She found that the more she lost herself in characters, the less uncomfortably nervous she felt and the less she would stutter.
Now the star aims to help kids going through the same thing by working with the American Institute for Stuttering. “They understand that how these kids relate to their stutter is usually the issue,” says Blunt. “You’ve got to fall in love with the fact that you’ve got a stutter to accept it. But it’s not all of you. Everyone’s got something-and this is just your thing.”
Blunt’s personal experience has inspired her to help girls everywhere, regardless of the trouble they may face. The A Quiet Place Part II and Jungle Cruise star also supports Malala Fund, created by Nobel Prize winner Malala Yousafzai to break down the barriers preventing more than 130 million girls worldwide from receiving an education. “She’s the most moving, impressive person I’ve ever met,” Blunt says. “What she says is true: When women are given more power in communities, those communities develop quickly and successfully. I want to support Malala until the day I die.”
Giving back is a quality Blunt and husband John Krasinski also hope to pass on to their daughters Hazel, 6, and Violet, 3. “Empathy is highly thought of in our house,” Blunt says. “We tell them all the time, ‘Be brave, be kind.’ ”
24. What challenge did Emily Blunt have to take when young?
A. Learning at school. B. Performing in a play.
C. Speaking fluently. D. Working with others.
25. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. People need to accept who they are. B. Everyone’s got something in the body.

26. Why did Blunt aim to help girls worldwide?
A. She starred in two films successfully. B. Her husband inspired her to give back.
C. Her daughter suffered from the same disease. D. Her own experience encouraged her to do so.
27. What’s the best title for the text?

Thanks to its proximity (邻近) to England, its successful tourism industry and its multicultural population, Edinburgh is quite a special city in Scotland.
Edinburgh simply makes it with culture during its long holiday season. It is not just its famous festivals in the summer but its Christmas and Hogmanay (除夕) celebrations, which fill the city with tourists from all over the world. Along with the tourists, Edinburgh has lots of students. They bring energy and variety to the culture of the city. Although this can be overwhelming (令人不知所措) at times, if you open your arms to the good that it brings you can get so much out of the city.
The Cycling Gardeners are a part of the local community. By being totally dependent on bikes for transport, we are limited to working within the city centre. We have made life a bit easier on ourselves by using electric bikes, and we often beat cars in traffic and have no problem finding place to park.
We have a great collective team spirit which is very important. Whenever you go there from May to September, you will likely meet both sunshine and rain. But the wet weather can be dealt with by helping each other out, spending time in the many local cafes, catching up with your friends and having a good discussion about the rain!
Without doubt my favourite place in Edinburgh is the Meadows Park. I was born in the hospital overlooking it and grew up in buildings around it. Much of my childhood days were spent there. I met my wife there and it is where I take my young son to play. I have the happiest memories of building snowmen when the snow comes down. I really hope that this winter brings good snow so I can review my own childhood with my son!
32. What does Edinburgh attract visitors most?
A. Its successful industry. B. Its famous festivals.
C. Its rainy seasons. D. Its beautiful view.
33. Compared with driving cars, what’s the advantages of riding electric bikes for Cycling Gardeners?
A Speed. B. Comfort.
C. Convenience. D. Expense.
34. What does the underlined phrase “catching up” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Getting up. B. Meeting up.
C. Showing up. D. Picking up.
35. Why is the Meadows Park the author’s favorite place in Edinburgh?
A. He has good memories there. B. He was born there.
C. He played with his young son there. D. He met his wife there.
