UNESCO’s World Heritage List has been updated for 2024, and Europe’s newest listings, some of Europe’s lesser-known yet culturally significant sites, are well worth exploring.
Via Appia, Italy
Also known as “the Queen of roads”, this 500-mile stretch is the oldest Roman road. It connects the Italian capital to Southern Italy’s seaports and speeds the growth and development of new settlements while driving agricultural production and trade. Journeying up this road is a transportation through time, with the original paving stones reminding us of Italy’s old times.
Schwerin Residence Ensemble (建筑群), Germany
A picture-perfect image of traditional German architecture surrounded by Lake Schwerin, this cultural ensemble comprises 38 of Schwerin’s most striking landscapes and architecture. The architecture of Schwerin captures the essence of 19th-century Germany with its public gardens and cultural buildings tied together by the grand Schwerin Castle.
The Flow Country, Scotland
In Scotland lies one of the world’s most untouched blanket bog (沼泽) landscapes. With around 500,000 acres of bog pools and ancient plants, The Flow Country is one of the world’s biggest carbon stores, crucial in the fight against climate change. On foot is how you can experience the dramatic views of this lesser-known landscape and diverse wildlife species closely.
Moravian Church Settlements, Germany and UK
Gracehill was a village in Northern Ireland founded by the Moravians in 1759.

Huang Xuhua, born in 1926 in Guangdong Province, is known as the “Father of China’s Nuclear Submarines.” His pioneering work in the 1960s and 1970s helped lay the foundation for China’s nuclear submarine (核潜艇) program, which played a key role in the country’s defense strategy during a time of intense global pressure.
In 1958, Mr. Huang was appointed as the chief designer for China’s first nuclear submarine project. At that time, China lacked the necessary technology and resources to construct such advanced submarines, and due to international isolation, the team had to rely solely on domestic innovation. Despite these significant challenges, Mr. Huang accepted the mission with determination, driven by the need to safeguard China’s maritime sovereignty (主权) and strengthen its strategic defenses. The greatest hurdle was developing a compact nuclear reactor capable of powering a submarine. With limited expertise in nuclear physics and engineering, Mr. Huang and his team worked tirelessly to design an efficient and reliable reactor, demonstrating his creativity and leadership skills.
After over a decade of hard work, Huang’s team achieved a historic breakthrough in 1970 by launching China’s first nuclear-powered submarine, the Type 091 (Han-class). This meant China became one of the few countries able to build nuclear submarines. Soon after, they developed the Type 092 (Xia-class), China’s first ballistic missile submarine, which boosted the country’s nuclear defense.
Huang’s contributions went beyond technology. His leadership inspired a generation of Chinese scientists and engineers to focus on self-reliance and innovation. Despite the heavy pressure and secrecy surrounding his work, Huang stayed committed to the project, often sacrificing personal comforts for its success. In recognition of his achievements, Huang has received many awards, including the Supreme State Science and Technology Award, China’s highest honor for scientific achievements.
4. What was the biggest challenge in developing China’s first nuclear submarine?
A. Funding missile systems.
B. Lacking the necessary technology and resources.
C. Coordinating international cooperation.
D. Designing a compact nuclear reactor to power a submarine.
5. What is the primary purpose of paragraph 3?
A. To compare the functions of Type 091 and Type 092 submarines.
B. To emphasize the global popularity of Chinese submarine technology.
C. To showcase the technological achievements and their strategic impact.
D. To list the names and launch dates of China’s early nuclear submarines.
6. Which of the following best describe Huang Xuhua?
A. Innovative and patriotic.
B. Talented and courageous.
C. Modest and cooperative.
D. Hard-working and adventurous.
7. Where would you most likely read this passage?
A. A fictional novel . B. A travel guide.
C. A biography. D. A newspaper.

After writing 50 books, Pakistani American kids’ book author Saadia Faruqi is covering an issue she’s never explored before in her newest title, The Strongest Heart.
“This is the first time I’ve written a book that mainly talks about mental illness and the impacts it has on family life, especially on kids,” says Faruqi. “It’s a topic that’s very close to my heart and the theme is personal to me.”
Published in March, The Strongest Heart follows Mo, a Pakistani American eighth grader, as he struggles to understand his Abbu — “father” in Urdu — who has a very serious mental illness. The book is based on Faruqi’s own rocky relationship with her father, who she believes also had this condition.
Growing up in Karachi, Pakistan, Faruqi says she was afraid of her father’s episodes and often felt confused. The adults never “sat me down and explained anything. Nobody said,’ Hey, don’ t be scared.’” She hopes The Strongest Heart, intended for middle schoolers, can offer comfort and strength to young people who live with someone with mental illness at home.
When asked about what she hoped readers would take away from this book, Faruqi said,“I think the title says it all: The Strongest Heart. When things get really bad, somebody tellsMo, ‘The strongest heart is the one that’ s still beating.’ I hope that readers take away a message of courage and resilience (坚持不懈). This book is for anybody who faces hardships, who’s not in control of their own life, who’s scared or worried or anxious.”
So far, the book has earned four starred reviews. Kirkus Reviews writes: “The story is engaging, populated with appealing, well-rounded main and supporting characters. The account of serious mental illness and the complex emotions of a child whose parent suffers from it are realistic, eye-opening and moving.”
8. What makes The Strongest Heart different from Faruqi’s previous books?
A. It covers family issues in Pakistan.
B. It talks about her personal life in Urdu.
C. It describes her childhood life in Karachi.
D. It addresses mental illness’s family impact.
9. How might Mo feel about his father’s illness?
A. Puzzled and scared.
B. Angry and doubtful.
C. Worried and impatient.
D. Anxious and ashamed.
10. What does Faruqi hope readers learn from The Strongest Heart?
A. There is strength even in a struggle.
B. Parents must always appear strong.
C. Mental illness should be kept private.
D. People should take control of their own life.
11 What comment did The Strongest Heart receive?
A. Appreciation for its delicate structure.
B. Disapproval of its characterization.
C. Criticism for its complex account.
D. Praise for its emotional realism.
D
Every day, you likely hear a new piece of advice. One suggestion you may hear is to “fake it until you make it”, especially if you’re starting something new, like a job. But is it really good advice?
Fake it till you make it is an expression in which a person imitates (模仿) the confidence or skills they need to succeed in what they are doing in the hope that they will eventually feel real. Advocates of this idea say you can fake confidence and hope that, eventually, it will inspire real confidence.
The best time to use this strategy may be when you’re trying to change your behavior to improve yourself. If you aim to boost your work productivity, you might draw inspiration from your more efficient colleagues. This way can help you learn strategies to enhance your performance. Similarly, in your personal life, striving to be more friendly and warm can initially feel awkward but will ultimately foster better relationships with those around you.
Unfortunately faking it till you make it doesn’t always bring sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows. It may not work when dealing with hard skills, assisting others, or faking who you are. For example, it is incredibly hard to fake technical skills and competence like software experience. It’s also hard to assist others if you lack understanding of the subject. Moreover, pretending to be someone you’re not or making false claims can be exposed.
One study shows that it can snowball into imposter syndrome, which can arise when individuals feel their success is undeserved and fear being exposed as a fake. Unfortunately, faking it till you make it can exacerbate that syndrome, leading to avoidance and negative impacts on productivity and well-being.
In conclusion, there is a difference between learning new behaviors and lying about your identity or skills. One can build you into a better worker or friend, but the latter can get you into trouble. “Fake it till you make it” can be a useful approach for some, while it can also contribute to imposter syndrome for others.
12. Why do some people adopt the strategy “fake it till you make it”?
A. To criticize the behavior of others.
B. To make others trust their abilities.
C. To avoid taking on new challenges.
D. To gain confidence through imitation.
13. In what type of situation might “fake it till you make it” be ineffective?
A. When taking up a new hobby.
B. When trying to stay focused in class.
C. When teaching others computer skills.
D. When socializing with your classmates.
14 What does the underlined word “exacerbate” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Worsen. B. Relieve.
C. Prevent. D. Recognize.
15. What is the author’s main viewpoint on the strategy “fake it till you make it”?
A. It can be positive or negative.
B. It is a useful tool in our daily life.
C. It is more harmful in the long run.
D. It’s always good for personal growth.

How to Become a More Effective Listener
Being a good listener can enrich your understanding, expand your capacity for empathy, and improve your communication skills. ___16___ Here are some practical strategies to improve your listening skills.
Maintain appropriate eye contact.
When someone is talking to you, make and hold eye contact so they know you’ re taking in what they’ re saying. ___17___ Studies show the ideal amount of eye contact is about 3 seconds at a time; longer periods of direct eye contact may make the other person uncomfortable.
Minimize distractions.
Active listening requires full focus. If you’ re watching TV or scrolling TikTok while someone is speaking, they’ll likely get the impression that you’ re not really paying attention — and you’ll miss key details. ___18___ This demonstrates respect and engagement.
___19___
You might be a great listener, but your conversation partner may not realize it if you don’t show them. Nodding now and again and offering an “mmhmm” or “I see” can help them know that you care. And the occasional verbal acknowledgement that you’ re listening and comprehending can encourage the other person to keep talking.
Ask insightful questions.
Meaningful questions deepen conversations and show genuine interest. ___20___ This encourages the speaker to reflect and elaborate, making the discussion more productive. That’s why we should aim to use questions as a means by which the speaker can begin to reach their own conclusions about the issues being raised, without sounding judgmental or forceful.
A. Read their body language.
B. Provide proper feedback.
C. Put aside any distractions and maintain focus.
D. However, avoid staring at them the whole time.
E. However, mastering this skill requires conscious effort.
F. For example, inquire about their perspective or feelings.
G. A good listener should always offer immediate advice.

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
When I was in middle school, my family moved to Seattle, where my parents started their new business — a small grocery store downstairs my house. As a girl of shy and reserved nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the sophisticated city life.
One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of excitement fed the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don’t have any special skills to share.”
Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer. I couldn’t shake the upsetting feeling until one day, Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class. “How about singing together in the talent show?” She grinned, “I heard you singing a tune, along the way back home. I can’t help following you here.” Gosh, I couldn’t believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent. Since Emma had the world’s prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune.
“You two? The talent show for the food bank?” My mum bent towards us and her face lit up. “A big occasion.” Then a light bulb seemed to go in her head. “Why not practise right now upstairs? I bet you’ll be a perfect match.” Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike.
Emma and I embarked on rehearsing almost every single day after school. We brainstormed exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance, Emma called that she had an acute stomachache and was not in any shape to perform.

Huang Xuhua, born in 1926 in Guangdong Province, is known as the “Father of China’s Nuclear Submarines.” His pioneering work in the 1960s and 1970s helped lay the foundation for China’s nuclear submarine (核潜艇) program, which played a key role in the country’s defense strategy during a time of intense global pressure.
In 1958, Mr. Huang was appointed as the chief designer for China’s first nuclear submarine project. At that time, China lacked the necessary technology and resources to construct such advanced submarines, and due to international isolation, the team had to rely solely on domestic innovation. Despite these significant challenges, Mr. Huang accepted the mission with determination, driven by the need to safeguard China’s maritime sovereignty (主权) and strengthen its strategic defenses. The greatest hurdle was developing a compact nuclear reactor capable of powering a submarine. With limited expertise in nuclear physics and engineering, Mr. Huang and his team worked tirelessly to design an efficient and reliable reactor, demonstrating his creativity and leadership skills.
After over a decade of hard work, Huang’s team achieved a historic breakthrough in 1970 by launching China’s first nuclear-powered submarine, the Type 091 (Han-class). This meant China became one of the few countries able to build nuclear submarines. Soon after, they developed the Type 092 (Xia-class), China’s first ballistic missile submarine, which boosted the country’s nuclear defense.
Huang’s contributions went beyond technology. His leadership inspired a generation of Chinese scientists and engineers to focus on self-reliance and innovation. Despite the heavy pressure and secrecy surrounding his work, Huang stayed committed to the project, often sacrificing personal comforts for its success. In recognition of his achievements, Huang has received many awards, including the Supreme State Science and Technology Award, China’s highest honor for scientific achievements.

After writing 50 books, Pakistani American kids’ book author Saadia Faruqi is covering an issue she’s never explored before in her newest title, The Strongest Heart.
“This is the first time I’ve written a book that mainly talks about mental illness and the impacts it has on family life, especially on kids,” says Faruqi. “It’s a topic that’s very close to my heart and the theme is personal to me.”
Published in March, The Strongest Heart follows Mo, a Pakistani American eighth grader, as he struggles to understand his Abbu — “father” in Urdu — who has a very serious mental illness. The book is based on Faruqi’s own rocky relationship with her father, who she believes also had this condition.
Growing up in Karachi, Pakistan, Faruqi says she was afraid of her father’s episodes and often felt confused. The adults never “sat me down and explained anything. Nobody said,’ Hey, don’ t be scared.’” She hopes The Strongest Heart, intended for middle schoolers, can offer comfort and strength to young people who live with someone with mental illness at home.
When asked about what she hoped readers would take away from this book, Faruqi said,“I think the title says it all: The Strongest Heart. When things get really bad, somebody tellsMo, ‘The strongest heart is the one that’ s still beating.’ I hope that readers take away a message of courage and resilience (坚持不懈). This book is for anybody who faces hardships, who’s not in control of their own life, who’s scared or worried or anxious.”
So far, the book has earned four starred reviews. Kirkus Reviews writes: “The story is engaging, populated with appealing, well-rounded main and supporting characters. The account of serious mental illness and the complex emotions of a child whose parent suffers from it are realistic, eye-opening and moving.”
8. What makes The Strongest Heart different from Faruqi’s previous books?
A. It covers family issues in Pakistan.
B. It talks about her personal life in Urdu.
C. It describes her childhood life in Karachi.
D. It addresses mental illness’s family impact.
9. How might Mo feel about his father’s illness?
A. Puzzled and scared.
B. Angry and doubtful.
C. Worried and impatient.
D. Anxious and ashamed.
10. What does Faruqi hope readers learn from The Strongest Heart?
A. There is strength even in a struggle.
B. Parents must always appear strong.
C. Mental illness should be kept private.
D. People should take control of their own life.
11. What comment did The Strongest Heart receive?
A. Appreciation for its delicate structure.
B. Disapproval of its characterization.
C. Criticism for its complex account.
D. Praise for its emotional realism.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. D

【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The account of serious mental illness and the complex emotions of a child whose parent suffers from it are realistic, eye opening and moving.(对严重精神疾病以及父母患有此病的孩子的复杂情绪的描述是真实的、令人大开眼界且感人的)”可知,《最坚强的心》因情感的真实性而受到赞扬。故选D项。

Every day, you likely hear a new piece of advice. One suggestion you may hear is to “fake it until you make it”, especially if you’re starting something new, like a job. But is it really good advice?
Fake it till you make it is an expression in which a person imitates (模仿) the confidence or skills they need to succeed in what they are doing in the hope that they will eventually feel real. Advocates of this idea say you can fake confidence and hope that, eventually, it will inspire real confidence.
The best time to use this strategy may be when you’re trying to change your behavior to improve yourself. If you aim to boost your work productivity, you might draw inspiration from your more efficient colleagues. This way can help you learn strategies to enhance your performance. Similarly, in your personal life, striving to be more friendly and warm can initially feel awkward but will ultimately foster better relationships with those around you.
Unfortunately, faking it till you make it doesn’t always bring sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows. It may not work when dealing with hard skills, assisting others, or faking who you are. For example, it is incredibly hard to fake technical skills and competence like software experience. It’s also hard to assist others if you lack understanding of the subject. Moreover, pretending to be someone you’re not or making false claims can be exposed.
One study shows that it can snowball into imposter syndrome, which can arise when individuals feel their success is undeserved and fear being exposed as a fake. Unfortunately, faking it till you make it can exacerbate that syndrome, leading to avoidance and negative impacts on productivity and well-being.
In conclusion, there is a difference between learning new behaviors and lying about your identity or skills. One can build you into a better worker or friend, but the latter can get you into trouble. “Fake it till you make it” can be a useful approach for some, while it can also contribute to imposter syndrome for others.
12. Why do some people adopt the strategy “fake it till you make it”?
A. To criticize the behavior of others.
B. To make others trust their abilities.
C. To avoid taking on new challenges.
D. To gain confidence through imitation.
13. In what type of situation might “fake it till you make it” be ineffective?
A. When taking up a new hobby.
B. When trying to stay focused in class.
C. When teaching others computer skills.
D. When socializing with your classmates.
14. What does the underlined word “exacerbate” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Worsen. B. Relieve.
C. Prevent. D. Recognize.
15. What is the author’s main viewpoint on the strategy “fake it till you make it”?
A. It can be positive or negative.
B. It is a useful tool in our daily life.
C. It is more harmful in the long run.
D. It’s always good for personal growth.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨“假装成功直到真的成功”这一策略的有效性、适用场景及潜在问题。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Fake it till you make it is an expression in which a person imitates the confidence or skills they need to succeed in what they are doing in the hope that they will eventually feel real. Advocates of this idea say you can fake confidence and hope that, eventually, it will inspire real confidence. (“假装成功直到真的成功”是指一个人模仿成功所需的自信或技能,希望最终能拥有真实的自信。这一理念的拥护者认为,人们可以通过假装自信,最终激发真正的自信)”可知,有些人采用这一策略是为了通过模仿获得自信。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“It may not work when dealing with hard skills, assisting others, or faking who you are. For example, it is incredibly hard to fake technical skills and competence like software experience. It's also hard to assist others if you lack understanding of the subject. (在处理硬技能、帮助他人或伪装自我时,这一策略可能行不通。例如,很难伪造软件经验等技术技能和能力。如果你对某一主题缺乏了解,也很难帮助他人)”可知,在教授他人计算机技能,如硬技能时,该策略可能无效。故选C项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“One study shows that it can snowball into imposter syndrome, which can arise when individuals feel their success is undeserved and fear being exposed as a fake. Unfortunately, faking it till you make it can exacerbate that syndrome, leading to avoidance and negative impacts on productivity and well-being.(一项研究表明,这种情况可能会像滚雪球一样发展成冒名顶替综合征。当人们认为自己的成功名不副实,并害怕被当作冒牌货曝光时,这种综合征就会出现。不幸的是,“假装成功直到真的成功” 的做法可能会exacerbate这种综合征,导致人们产生回避心理,并对生产力和幸福感产生负面影响)”可知,画线词所在句承接前文“引发冒名顶替综合征”,导致人们产生回避心理,并对生产力和幸福感产生负面影响。由此可知,此处进一步说明该策略会“恶化”这一症状,所以,画线单词的意思与“恶化”意义相近。故选A项
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““Fake it till you make it”can be a useful approach for some, while it can also contribute to imposter syndrome for others.”(“假装成功直到真的成功”对某些人来说是有用的方法,而对另一些人来说则可能引发冒名顶替综合征)可知,作者认为这一策略既有积极一面,也有消极影响,持客观辩证的态度。故选A项。

How to Become a More Effective Listener
Being a good listener can enrich your understanding, expand your capacity for empathy, and improve your communication skills. ___16___ Here are some practical strategies to improve your listening skills.
Maintain appropriate eye contact.
When someone is talking to you, make and hold eye contact so they know you’ re taking in what they’ re saying. ___17___ Studies show the ideal amount of eye contact is about 3 seconds at a time; longer periods of direct eye contact may make the other person uncomfortable.
Minimize distractions.
Active listening requires full focus. If you’ re watching TV or scrolling TikTok while someone is speaking, they’ll likely get the impression that you’ re not really paying attention — and you’ll miss key details. ___18___ This demonstrates respect and engagement.
___19___
You might be a great listener, but your conversation partner may not realize it if you don’t show them. Nodding now and again and offering an “mmhmm” or “I see” can help them know that you care. And the occasional verbal acknowledgement that you’ re listening and comprehending can encourage the other person to keep talking.
Ask insightful questions.
Meaningful questions deepen conversations and show genuine interest. ___20___ This encourages the speaker to reflect and elaborate, making the discussion more productive. That’s why we should aim to use questions as a means by which the speaker can begin to reach their own conclusions about the issues being raised, without sounding judgmental or forceful.
A. Read their body language.
B. Provide proper feedback.
C. Put aside any distractions and maintain focus.
D. However, avoid staring at them the whole time.
E. However, mastering this skill requires conscious effort.
F. For example, inquire about their perspective or feelings.
G. A good listener should always offer immediate advice.
【答案】16. E 17. D 18. C 19. B 20. F
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何成为更出色的倾听者。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Being a good listener can enrich your understanding, expand your capacity for empathy,and improve your communication skills. (做一个好的倾听者能够丰富你的理解能力,增强你的同理心,并提升你的沟通技巧。)”可知,前文论述倾听的好处,后文“Here are some practical strategies to improve your listening skills. (以下是一些能够提升你听力技能的实用方法。)”引出具体方法, 因此此处需要承上启下的过渡句。故E选项“但要掌握这项技能需要有意识的努力。”符合语境,故选E。
【17题详解】
根据上文“When someone is talking to you, make and hold eye contact so they know you’ re taking in what they’ re saying. (当有人与你交谈时,要与对方保持眼神接触,这样他们就能知道你正在认真倾听他们所说的内容。)”可知,前句说“要保持眼神接触”,后句给出“3秒为宜”的研究数据。本句补充注意事项, 与后文“Studies show the ideal amount of eye contact is about 3 seconds at a time; longer periods of direct eye contact may make the other person uncomfortable. (研究表明,理想的目光接触时长约为 3 秒;长时间直接对视可能会让对方感到不适。)”形成递进解释。故D选项“但不要一直盯着他们看。”符合语境,故选D。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Active listening requires full focus. If you’ re watching TV or scrolling TikTok while someone is speaking, they’ll likely get the impression that you’ re not really paying attention — and you’ll miss key details. (积极倾听需要全神贯注。如果在有人讲话时你正盯着电视或者在 TikTok 上滑动屏幕,那么对方很可能会觉得你并没有真正认真倾听——而且你还会错过重要细节。)”可知,前文批评分心行为,此处需解决方法。C选项“Put aside”与前文构成“问题一对策”关系,且“maintain focus”与段首“requires full focus”首尾呼应。故C选项“把开小差的念头抛在一边,保持专注。”符合语境,故选C。
【19题详解】
根据本段内容“You might be a great listener, but your conversation partner may not realize it if you don’t show them. Nodding now and again and offering an “mmhmm” or “I see” can help them know that you care. And the occasional verbal acknowledgement that you’ re listening and comprehending can encourage the other person to keep talking. (你或许是个出色的倾听者,但如果你不向对方做出示意,那么对方可能不会意识到这一点。时不时地点头,或者说出“嗯嗯”或者“我明白了”之类的话,都能让他们知道你在倾听并理解对方的意思。偶尔用言语表达出你正在倾听并理解对方的意思,还能鼓励对方继续说下去。)”可知,该段具体描述点头、简短回应等行为, B选项准确概括反馈行为(非语言+语言)。故B选项“提供恰当的反馈。”符合语境,故选B。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Meaningful questions deepen conversations and show genuine interest. (有意义的问题能够深化交流,并展现出真正的兴趣。)”以及后文“This encourages the speaker to reflect and elaborate, making the discussion more productive. That’s why we should aim to use questions as a means by which the speaker can begin to reach their own conclusions about the issues being raised, without sounding judgmental or forceful. (这会促使演讲者进行思考并进一步阐述,从而使讨论更具成效。这就是为什么我们应该力求将提问作为一种手段,让演讲者能够开始自行得出关于所提出问题的结论,同时又不会显得带有评判性或过于强硬。)”可知,前句总述“有意义的问题”, 后文具体说“让说话者反思”。F选项“...inquire about...”作为典型例证,且“perspective or feelings”与后文“reach their own conclusions”对应。故F选项“例如,询问他们的看法或感受。”符合语境,故选F。

【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了青年版《牡丹亭》在北京天桥演艺中心成功登上中国艺术之春舞台,并介绍了昆曲的艺术表现方式,及北京天桥演艺中心的宗旨。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意:《牡丹亭》的青少年版成功登上了北京天桥艺术中心的“中国艺术春季演出季”。修饰动词enter用副词successfully。故填successfully。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:《牡丹亭》是世界文化瑰宝,由中国的明代剧作家兼诗人汤显祖所著,他与英国的威廉·莎士比亚齐名。此处treasure为泛指,且cultural是发音以辅音音素开头的单词。故填a。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:而昆曲,融合了用苏州方言演唱歌曲、优美的身姿动作、武术和舞蹈元素,最初诞生于江苏省昆山地区。此处perform与song构成被动关系,故用过去分词作定语,故填performed。

【43题详解】
考查动词的时态。句意:同上。根据下文的since可知,本句时态可用现在完成时表示动作从过去持续到现在,或对现在有影响;还可以用现在完成进行时表示动作从过去某个时刻开始一直持续到现在,甚至将来;又因为从句的主语The Peony Pavilion是第三人称单数,所以助动词用has。故填has attracted⁄has been attracting。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:迄今为止,北京天桥演艺中心以重视中国传统文化艺术的传承、推广、发展和普及为宗旨,还举办了许多与传统戏剧有关的展览,并设立了京剧传承班,让传统艺术深入儿童。此处是定语从句,且先行词Beijing Tianqiao Performing Arts Center和aim之间是所属关系,所以空格处用关系代词whose作定语。故填whose。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:同上。此处表示设立京剧传统班目的是为了让传统艺术深入儿童,所以用此处用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to make。

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
When I was in middle school, my family moved to Seattle, where my parents started their new business — a small grocery store downstairs my house. As a girl of shy and reserved nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the sophisticated city life.
One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of excitement fed the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don’t have any special skills to share.”
Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer. I couldn’t shake the upsetting feeling until one day, Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class. “How about singing together in the talent show?” She grinned, “I heard you singing a tune, along the way back home. I can’t help following you here.” Gosh, I couldn’t believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent. Since Emma had the world’s prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune.
“You two? The talent show for the food bank?” My mum bent towards us and her face lit up. “A big occasion.” Then a light bulb seemed to go in her head. “Why not practise right now upstairs? I bet you’ll be a perfect match.” Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike.
Emma and I embarked on rehearsing almost every single day after school. We brainstormed, exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance, Emma called that she had an acute stomachache and was not in any shape to perform.

Paragraph 1:
I was completely knocked out by the news.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Finally came the big moment.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I was completely knocked out by the news. What should I do? Having prepared for such a long time, I didn’t think of that coming up. Feeling at a loss, I was brainstorming as hard as I could to think of a solution, when a gentle touch on my back brought me back to reality. It was my mum, who looked at me with care and concern. “You have prepared for it enough. You can do it by yourself.” She said after my stumbled explanation. I looked back at her eyes, and a sense of confidence and warmness swelled up in my heart. Yes, I could do it myself.
Finally came the big moment. Looking around the audience, I stepped onto the stage, with butterflies in my stomach. My voice trembled at first, but with the melodies flew around, the nervousness was gone with the wind. Emotions filled in my song, I performed as naturally as I spoke every day. I saw my mum, who was looking at me with reassurance and care. It turned out to be a good performance, which helped me conquer my fears and turned me into a new person.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇读后续写。文章讲述了作者自小性格内向,不爱交际。偶然一次机会,学校组织学生参加才艺表演,同学Emma盛情邀请作者一同参加,这使得作者备受鼓舞。然而在演出前夕,Emma却因急性胃疼不能上台,面对紧急情况,作者只能自己独立完成表演。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①根据第一段首句“我被这个消息所震惊了。”可知,作者在收到Emma不能参演的消息时一时手足无措,再根据第四段妈妈的表现可知,此时妈妈一定会及时出现,安慰作者并给作者勇气,让作者能独立完成表演。
②根据第二段首句“重大时刻终于到来了。”可知,作者坚持独立上台表演了。可想而知作者刚登上舞台还是会紧张,但是作者天生有副好嗓子,随着表演深入,这种紧张感会消失,并且精彩的完成表演。
2. 续写线索:手足无措——妈妈安慰并打气——决定独立上台——克服紧张,表演完成——升华
