Old and historical cinemas are all around us and yet so unnoticed. A new photobook uncovers their often-overlooked beauty.
Loew’s Palace Theatre
Originally opened as the Poli’s Palace Theatre in 1922 by architect Thomas W. Lamb, it was one of a double theatre complex along with the neighbouring Poli’s Majestic Theatre. In 1934, both theatres were taken over by Loew’s and operated as film theatres. In the late 1970s, an attempt to turn the building into a Christian Revival Centre never succeeded.

Through the 1920s, it showed silent films in addition to hosting various opera companies. In the late 1930s, it became a ballroom, and in the 1940s a sports area for basketball, wrestling, and boxing events. It finally closed in 1954 and was turned into a church.
Robin’s Theatre
Opened in 1923, it had 1,500 seats, and was designed by architects I. J. Goldston and Detroit-based C. Howard Crane. It was operated by The Robins Theatre Enterprises Co., a local company founded by Daniel Robins, who was an early partner of Albert Warner of Warner Bros. It closed in 1974 and was vacant until 2018, when it was renovated and reopened as a multipurpose venue in 2020.

“At least you’ll be close to home!” That phrase ran through the weeks before my move to my college. I took comfort in knowing that home was close by if I needed it.
The night before the move, I spoke with a sophomore (大学二年级) friend of mine who was moving back the next morning. I asked if he was sad to be leaving home and his response sparked in me an internal debate. “It was nice to be back but honestly, I’ve come to think of the college as my home.” Up until that moment, the move to college seemed like an extended version of summer camp. School wasn’t a home; it was a place for me to explore when I was away from home, right?
As I packed my things, I really started thinking about the concept of home, and I couldn’t help but wonder: would I ever consider college my own home? The next day, once my bags were unpacked and my parents were gone, I took a moment to look around my dorm. It was absolutely nothing like my room: no bunnies, no blue curtains and no queen-sized bed. Despite the fun I was having and things I was learning in the following Welcome Week, I couldn’t bring myself to call it home. I longed for my bunnies. I even wanted my mom’s calls. “There’s no place like home.” I said to myself.
Last night, I went to visit my friends and we spent the next hour talking about that missing feeling we all shared — about our families, friends, and old lives — and soon the sadness turned to fondness. One by one our friends came in to say goodnight and the room was filled with girls, all laughing and sharing our high school experiences. It wasn’t until about 1:00 a. m. that I turned to my roommate, saying, “It’s getting late. We should probably go home soon.” I was surprised by my own words. Somehow in the few hours, my dorm room had turned into a home.
4. How did the author react to her sophomore friend’s response at first?
A. She was puzzled by his response B. She was completely certain about it.
C. She thought he was telling a lie. D. She quite agreed with her friend.
5. What does the underlined word “bunnies” in paragraph 3 suggest?
A. College lacked a harmonious atmosphere.
B. Pet-keeping was not allowed in college dorm.
C. She didn’t get used to her college dorm life then.
D. College should prepare bunnies for new students.
6. Why was the author surprised by her own words at the end of the passage?
A. Because it was rude to say that when everyone was happy.
B. Because there were so many girls gathering in the dorm.
C. Because she lost a good chance to forget homesickness
D. Because she began to call her college home naturally.
7. What made the author begin to take college as home?
A. Decorating her dorm like a home. B. Friends’ shared feelings.
C. Her previous family and friends. D. Comforts from other girls.
C
For thousands of years, people have known that the best way to understand a concept is to explain it to someone else. “While we teach, we learn,” said Roman philosopher Seneca. Now scientists are bringing this ancient wisdom up to date. They’re documenting why teaching is such a fruitful way to learn, and designing creative ways for young people to take part in instruction.
Researchers have found that students who sign up to tutor (辅导) others work harder to understand. the material, recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively. Student teachers score higher on tests than pupils who’re learning only for their own sake. But how can children, still learning themselves, teach others? One answer: They can tutor younger kids. Some studies have found that first-born children are more intelligent than their later-born siblings (兄弟姐妹). This suggests their higher IQs result from the time they spend teaching their siblings. Now educators are experimenting with ways to apply this model to academic subjects. They arrange college undergraduates to teach computer science to high school students, who in turn instruct middle school students on the topic.
But the most cutting-edge tool under development is the “teachable agent” — a computerized character who learns, tries, makes mistakes and asks questions just like a real-world pupil. Computer scientists have created an animated (动画的) figure called Betty’s Brain, who has been “taught” about environmental science by hundreds of middle school students. Student teachers are inspired to help Betty master certain materials. While preparing to teach, they organize their knowledge and improve their own understanding. And as they explain the information to it, they identify problems in their own thinking.
Feedback from the teachable agent further improves the tutors’ learning. The agent’s questions force student tutors to think and explain the materials in different ways, and watching the agent solve problems allows them to see their knowledge put into action.
Above all, it’s the emotions one experiences in teaching that improve learning. Student tutors feel upset when their teachable agent fails, but happy when this virtual pupil succeeds as they develop pride and satisfaction from someone else’s accomplishment.
8. Why is Roman philosopher Seneca mentioned?
A. To reach a conclusion. B. To confirm an opinion.
C. To make a comparison. D. To introduce a topic.
9. What can be learned about Betty’s Brain?
A. It is a character in a popular animation. B. It is a teaching tool under development.
C. It is a cutting-edge app in digital games. D. It is a tutor for computer science students.
10. What do students do to teach their teachable agent?
A. They motivate it to think independently. B. They ask it to design its own questions.
C. They encourage it to give immediate feedback. D. They use various ways to explain materials to it.
11. What is the writing purpose of the passage?
A. To encourage first-born children to be tutors of their siblings.
B. To explain how teaching others improves one’s own learning.
C. To introduce the development of teachable agents like Betty’s Brain.
D. To describe the emotional changes of students when tutoring others.
D
“Opinion” is a word that is used carelessly today. It is used to refer to matters of taste, belief, and judgment. This casual use would probably cause little confusion if people didn’t attach too much importance to opinion. Unfortunately, most attach great importance to it. “I have as much right to my opinion as you to yours,” and “Everyone has the right to express his opinion,” are common expressions. In fact, anyone who would challenge another’s opinion is likely to be branded intolerant (心胸狭窄的).
Is that label accurate? Is it intolerant to challenge another’s opinion? It depends on what definition of opinion you have in mind. For example, you may ask a friend “What do you think of the new Ford cars?” And he may reply, “In my opinion, they’re ugly.” In this case, it would not only be intolerant to challenge his statement, but foolish. For it’s obvious that by opinion he means his personal preference, a matter of taste. And as the old saying goes, “It’s pointless to argue about matters of taste.”
But consider this very different use of the term. A newspaper reports that the Supreme Court has delivered its opinion in a controversial case. Obviously, the judges did not share their personal preferences, their likes and dislikes. They stated their considered judgment, carefully arrived at after thorough investigation and consideration.
Most of what is referred to as opinion falls somewhere between these two extremes. It is not an expression of taste. Nor is it careful judgment. Yet it may contain elements of both. It is a view or belief more or less casually arrived at, with or without examining the evidence
Is everyone free to express his opinion? Of course, this is not only permitted, but guaranteed. We are free to act on our opinions only so long as, in doing so, we do not harm others.
12. According to the author, which of the following would be regarded as intolerant?
A. Someone who can’t put up with others’ tastes. B. Someone who values only their own opinions
C. Someone who turns a deaf ear to others’ opinions. D. Someone whose opinion harms other people.
13. What does the writer mean by the example of the new Ford cars?
A. It is foolish to criticize a famous brand like Ford.
B. Personal tastes are not something to be challenged.
C. Everyone should not always agree to others’ opinions.
D It is unwise to express one’s likes and dislikes in public.
14. How does considered judgment differ from personal preference?
A It is stated by judges in the court. B. It reflects public like and dislikes.
C. It is a result of a lot of argument. D. It is based on careful thought.
15. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Should All Opinions Be Attached Importance to?
B. Why Should We Never Challenge Others’ Opinions?
C. Are Opinions Personal Tastes or Reasoned Judgments?
D. How does the Supreme Court Deliver Legal Opinions?

Following My Dream
I grew up in a poor family with six brothers, three sisters, my father and mother. We had little money and few goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was happy and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream.
My dream was athletics. By the time I was sixteen, I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything that moved on the football field. And I was so lucky that my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but often told me “The dream is invaluable.” However, when I was about to get off the ground, one particular thing happened, which almost ruined (毁坏) my long-held dream.
It was the summer holiday in Senior Two and a friend recommended me for a summer job. I was offered $12.25 per hour. Compared with the average $3.5, that was a big sum. I was so excited, because this meant a chance for money in my pocket, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother. The prospect (前景) of the job was inviting, and I wanted to jump at the opportunity.
Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball training to handle the work schedule. I didn’t dare to tell my coach. I thought of the advice my mother often gave me when I lacked courage “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.” I decided to talk to my coach by myself. After all, my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment to me. I gathered my courage and knocked at his door.

“At least you’ll be close to home!” That phrase ran through the weeks before my move to my college. I took comfort in knowing that home was close by if I needed it.
The night before the move I spoke with a sophomore (大学二年级) friend of mine who was moving back the next morning. I asked if he was sad to be leaving home and his response sparked in me an internal debate. “It was nice to be back but honestly, I’ve come to think of the college as my home.” Up until that moment, the move to college seemed like an extended version of summer camp. School wasn’t a home; it was a place for me to explore when I was away from home, right?
As I packed my things, I really started thinking about the concept of home, and I couldn’t help but wonder: would I ever consider college my own home? The next day, once my bags were unpacked and my parents were gone, I took a moment to look around my dorm. It was absolutely nothing like my room: no bunnies, no blue curtains and no queen-sized bed. Despite the fun I was having and things I was learning in the following Welcome Week, I couldn’t bring myself to call it home. I longed for my bunnies. I even wanted my mom’s calls. “There’s no place like home.” I said to myself.
Last night, I went to visit my friends and we spent the next hour talking about that missing feeling we all shared — about our families, friends, and old lives — and soon the sadness turned to fondness. One by one our friends came in to say goodnight and the room was filled with girls, all laughing and sharing our high school experiences. It wasn’t until about 1:00 a. m. that I turned to my roommate, saying, “It’s getting late. We should probably go home soon.” I was surprised by my own words. Somehow in the few hours, my dorm room had turned into a home.
4. How did the author react to her sophomore friend’s response at first?
A. She was puzzled by his response B. She was completely certain about it.
C. She thought he was telling a lie. D. She quite agreed with her friend.
5. What does the underlined word “bunnies” in paragraph 3 suggest?
A. College lacked a harmonious atmosphere.
B. Pet-keeping was not allowed in college dorm.
C. She didn’t get used to her college dorm life then.
D. College should prepare bunnies for new students.
6. Why was the author surprised by her own words at the end of the passage?
A. Because it was rude to say that when everyone was happy.
B. Because there were so many girls gathering in the dorm.
C. Because she lost a good chance to forget homesickness
D. Because she began to call her college home naturally.
7. What made the author begin to take college as home?
A. Decorating her dorm like a home. B. Friends’ shared feelings.
C. Her previous family and friends. D. Comforts from other girls.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B

I even wanted my mom’s calls.(它和我的房间一点也不像:没有兔子,没有蓝色的窗帘,也没有大床。尽管在接下来的迎新周里我玩得很开心,学到了很多东西,但我还是无法让自己称它为家。我想念我的兔子。我甚至还盼着妈妈的电话)”可知,作者列举宿舍没有家里的“兔子”等熟悉的物品,表达了对家的思念,故“兔子”暗示作者当时不习惯大学宿舍生活。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“It wasn’t until about 1:00 a. m. that I turned to my roommate, saying, “It’s getting late. We should probably go home soon.” I was surprised by my own words. Somehow in the few hours, my dorm room had turned into a home.(直到凌晨1点左右,我才转向我的室友,说:“时间不早了。我们可能该回家了。”我对自己的话感到惊讶。不知怎么的,在几个小时里,我的宿舍变成了家)”可知,作者惊讶于自己说的话是因为她开始自然地把大学宿舍称为家了。故选D。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Last night, I went to visit my friends and we spent the next hour talking about that missing feeling we all shared — about our families, friends, and old lives — and soon the sadness turned to fondness. One by one our friends came in to say goodnight and the room was filled with girls, all laughing and sharing our high school experiences.(昨晚,我去拜访了我的朋友们,接下来的一个小时里,我们都在谈论我们都有的那种失落感——关于我们的家人、朋友和旧生活——很快,悲伤变成了喜爱。我们的朋友们一个接一个地进来道晚安,房间里挤满了女孩,大家都在笑着分享我们的高中经历)”及“Somehow in the few hours, my dorm room had turned into a home.(不知怎的,就在这几个小时里,我的宿舍房间已经变成了一个家)”可知,与朋友分享的感受让作者开始把大学当作家。故选B。

For thousands of years, people have known that the best way to understand a concept is to explain it to someone else. “While we teach, we learn,” said Roman philosopher Seneca. Now scientists are bringing this ancient wisdom up to date. They’re documenting why teaching is such a fruitful way to learn, and designing creative ways for young people to take part in instruction.
Researchers have found that students who sign up to tutor (辅导) others work harder to understand. the material, recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively. Student teachers score higher on tests than pupils who’re learning only for their own sake. But how can children, still learning themselves, teach others? One answer: They can tutor younger kids. Some studies have found that first-born children are more intelligent than their later-born siblings (兄弟姐妹). This suggests their higher IQs result from the time they spend teaching their siblings. Now educators are experimenting with ways to apply this model to academic subjects. They arrange college undergraduates to teach computer science to high school students, who in turn instruct middle school students on the topic.
But the most cutting-edge tool under development is the “teachable agent” — a computerized character who learns, tries, makes mistakes and asks questions just like a real-world pupil. Computer scientists have created an animated (动画的) figure called Betty’s Brain, who has been “taught” about environmental science by hundreds of middle school students. Student teachers are inspired to help Betty master certain materials. While preparing to teach, they organize their knowledge and improve their own understanding. And as they explain the information to it, they identify problems in their own thinking.
Feedback from the teachable agent further improves the tutors’ learning. The agent’s questions force student tutors to think and explain the materials in different ways, and watching the agent solve problems allows them to see their knowledge put into action.
Above all, it’s the emotions one experiences in teaching that improve learning. Student tutors feel upset when their teachable agent fails, but happy when this virtual pupil succeeds as they develop pride and satisfaction from someone else’s accomplishment.
8. Why is Roman philosopher Seneca mentioned?
A. To reach a conclusion. B. To confirm an opinion.
C. To make a comparison. D. To introduce a topic.
9. What can be learned about Betty’s Brain?
A. It is a character in a popular animation. B. It is a teaching tool under development.
C. It is a cutting-edge app in digital games. D. It is a tutor for computer science students.
10. What do students do to teach their teachable agent?
A. They motivate it to think independently. B. They ask it to design its own questions.
C. They encourage it to give immediate feedback. D. They use various ways to explain materials to it.
11. What is the writing purpose of the passage?
A. To encourage first-born children to be tutors of their siblings.
B. To explain how teaching others improves one’s own learning.
C. To introduce the development of teachable agents like Betty’s Brain.
D. To describe the emotional changes of students when tutoring others.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了教学如何促进自身学习及其背后的原理。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中““While we teach, we learn,” said Roman philosopher Seneca. Now scientists are bringing this ancient wisdom up to date. (罗马哲学家Seneca说:“我们教的时候,也在学。”现在,科学家们正在将这一古老的智慧带到现代。)”可知,文章开头引用Seneca的话是为了引出文章主题——教学促进学习。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“But the most cutting-edge tool under development is the “teachable agent” — a computerized character who learns, tries, makes mistakes and asks questions just like a real-world pupil. Computer scientists have created an animated figure called Betty’s Brain, who has been “taught” about environmental science by hundreds of middle school students. (但目前正在开发的最前沿的工具是“可教的智能体”——一个像现实世界中的学生一样学习、尝试、犯错和提问的计算机角色。计算机科学家创造了一个名为Betty’s Brain的动画人物,数百名中学生已经“教”过它环境科学。)”可知,Betty’s Brain是一个正在开发中的教学工具。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The agent’s questions force student tutors to think and explain the materials in different ways, and watching the agent solve problems allows them to see their knowledge put into action. (智能体的问题迫使学生导师用不同的方式思考和解释材料,而观察智能体解决问题则让他们看到自己的知识付诸实践。)”可知,学生们用不同的方式向可教的智能体解释材料。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“Researchers have found that students who sign up to tutor (辅导) others work harder to understand the material, recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively. (研究人员发现,报名辅导他人的学生更努力地理解材料,更准确地回忆材料,并更有效地应用材料。)”可知,文章主要介绍了教学如何促进自身学习及其背后的原理,如通过辅导他人来加深自己的理解、应用可教的智能体等,因此文章的写作目的是解释教学如何促进自身学习。故选B。
D
“Opinion” is a word that is used carelessly today. It is used to refer to matters of taste, belief, and judgment. This casual use would probably cause little confusion if people didn’t attach too much importance to opinion. Unfortunately, most attach great importance to it. “I have as much right to my opinion as you to yours,” and “Everyone has the right to express his opinion,” are common expressions. In fact, anyone who would challenge another’s opinion is likely to be branded intolerant (心胸狭窄的).
Is that label accurate? Is it intolerant to challenge another’s opinion? It depends on what definition of opinion you have in mind. For example, you may ask a friend “What do you think of the new Ford cars?” And he may reply, “In my opinion, they’re ugly.” In this case, it would not only be intolerant to challenge his statement, but foolish. For it’s obvious that by opinion he means his personal preference, a matter of taste. And as the old saying goes, “It’s pointless to argue about matters of taste.”
But consider this very different use of the term. A newspaper reports that the Supreme Court has delivered its opinion in a controversial case. Obviously, the judges did not share their personal preferences, their likes and dislikes. They stated their considered judgment, carefully arrived at after thorough investigation and consideration.
Most of what is referred to as opinion falls somewhere between these two extremes. It is not an expression of taste. Nor is it careful judgment. Yet it may contain elements of both. It is a view or belief more or less casually arrived at, with or without examining the evidence
Is everyone free to express his opinion? Of course, this is not only permitted, but guaranteed. We are free to act on our opinions only so long as, in doing so, we do not harm others.
12. According to the author, which of the following would be regarded as intolerant?
A. Someone who can’t put up with others’ tastes. B. Someone who values only their own opinions
C. Someone who turns a deaf ear to others’ opinions. D. Someone whose opinion harms other people.
13. What does the writer mean by the example of the new Ford cars?
A. It is foolish to criticize a famous brand like Ford.
B. Personal tastes are not something to be challenged.
C. Everyone should not always agree to others’ opinions.
D. It is unwise to express one’s likes and dislikes in public.
14. How does considered judgment differ from personal preference?
A. It is stated by judges in the court. B. It reflects public like and dislikes.
C. It is a result of a lot of argument. D. It is based on careful thought.
15. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Should All Opinions Be Attached Importance to?
B. Why Should We Never Challenge Others’ Opinions?
C. Are Opinions Personal Tastes or Reasoned Judgments?
D. How does the Supreme Court Deliver Legal Opinions?
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了“观点”这一概念,分析了不同类型的观点,如个人偏好和经过深思熟虑的判断,并讨论了是否可以挑战他人观点。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“For example, you may ask a friend ‘What do you think of the new Ford cars?’ And he may reply, ‘In my opinion, they’re ugly.’ In this case, it would not only be intolerant to challenge his statement, but foolish. For it’s obvious that by opinion he means his personal preference, a matter of taste.(例如,你可能会问一个朋友‘你觉得新款福特汽车怎么样?’他可能会回答,‘在我看来,它们很丑。’在这种情况下,质疑他的说法不仅心胸狭窄,而且很愚蠢。因为很明显,他所说的观点指的是他的个人偏好,是一个品味问题)”可知,不能忍受别人的品味会被认为是心胸狭窄的。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“For it’s obvious that by opinion he means his personal preference, a matter of taste. And as the old saying goes, ‘It’s pointless to argue about matters of taste.’(因为很明显,他所说的观点指的是他的个人偏好,是一个品味问题。正如那句老话所说,‘争论品味问题是没有意义的’)”可知,作者以新款福特汽车为例,是想说明个人品味是不应该被质疑的。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Obviously, the judges did not share their personal preferences, their likes and dislikes. They stated their considered judgment, carefully arrived at after thorough investigation and consideration.(很明显,法官们并没有分享他们的个人喜好,他们的好恶。他们陈述了经过深思熟虑的判断,这是在经过彻底的调查和考虑后谨慎得出的)”可知,经过深思熟虑的判断是基于仔细思考的。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段中“‘Opinion’ is a word that is used carelessly today. It is used to refer to matters of taste, belief, and judgment. This casual use would probably cause little confusion if people didn’t attach too much importance to opinion. Unfortunately, most attach great importance to it.(‘观点’这个词如今被随意使用。人们用它来指代个人喜好、信念和判断。这种随意的用法或许不会造成太大混淆——前提是人们不过分看重‘观点’。可惜,多数人恰恰将其奉为圭臬)”、第二段中“Is that label accurate? Is it intolerant to challenge another’s opinion? It depends on what definition of opinion you have in mind.(这个标签准确吗?挑战别人的观点是不宽容的吗?这取决于你对‘观点’的定义)”和第四段“Most of what is referred to as opinion falls somewhere between these two extremes. It is not an expression of taste. Nor is it careful judgment. Yet it may contain elements of both. It is a view or belief more or less casually arrived at, with or without examining the evidence.(大多数所谓的“观点”介于这两个极端之间。它们既非纯粹的个人喜好,也非严谨的判断,但可能混杂着二者的成分。这些或多或少带有随意性的看法或信念,其形成过程或许有证据支撑,或许没有)”可知,文章围绕“观点”是个人品味还是经过推理的判断展开论述。C选项“‘观点’是个人品味还是经过推理的判断?”准确地概括了文章的主要内容,最适合做文章标题。故选C项。

阅读下面的短文,请根据各部分要求作答。
Following My Dream
I grew up in a poor family with six brothers, three sisters, my father and mother. We had little money and few goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was happy and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream.
My dream was athletics. By the time I was sixteen, I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything that moved on the football field. And I was so lucky that my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but often told me “The dream is invaluable.” However, when I was about to get off the ground, one particular thing happened, which almost ruined (毁坏) my long-held dream.
It was the summer holiday in Senior Two and a friend recommended me for a summer job. I was offered $12.25 per hour. Compared with the average $3.5, that was a big sum. I was so excited, because this meant a chance for money in my pocket, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother. The prospect (前景) of the job was inviting, and I wanted to jump at the opportunity.
Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball training to handle the work schedule. I didn’t dare to tell my coach. I thought of the advice my mother often gave me when I lacked courage “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.” I decided to talk to my coach by myself. After all, my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment to me. I gathered my courage and knocked at his door.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者出身贫困家庭却心怀运动梦想,高二暑假面临暑期工作与棒球训练的抉择,最终决定向教练说明情况的故事。
【46题详解】
①根据第一段“We had little money and few goods, but plenty of love and attention. (我们没有多少钱和财物,但有很多爱和关注)”可知,我们没有多少钱和财物,但有很多爱和关注,空处应用动词own,描述过去的动作,使用一般过去时,动词使用过去式形式owned。故填owned。
②根据第一段“I was happy and energetic. (我很快乐,也很有活力)”可知,“我”感觉很快乐,空处应用please的形容词形式pleased,作表语。故填pleased。
③根据第一段“I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream. (我明白,无论一个人多么贫穷,他仍然可以拥有梦想。、)”可知,“我”明白每个人即使贫穷,也能实现自己的梦想,空处应用动词know,描述过去的动作,使用一般过去时,动词使用过去式形式knew。故填knew。
④根据第二段“By the time I was sixteen, I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything that moved on the football field. (到我十六岁的时候,我可以投出时速九十英里的快球,击中足球场上任何移动的东西)”可知,“我”能击中足球场上任何移动的东西,空处应用动词move,与anything之间是主动关系,使用现在分词形式moving作后置定语。故填moving。
⑤根据第二段“And I was so lucky that my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but often told me “The dream is invaluable.”.(我很幸运,我高中教练是奥利·贾维斯,他不仅相信我,而且经常告诉我“梦想是无价的”)”可知,高中教练是奥利·贾维斯,“我”感觉很幸运,空处应用fortune的形容词形式fortunate,作表语。故填fortunate。
⑥根据第二段“And I was so lucky that my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but often told me “The dream is invaluable.”(我很幸运,我的高中教练是奥利·贾维斯,他不仅相信我,而且经常告诉我“梦想是无价的”)”可知,梦想是无价的,空处应用price的形容词形式priceless“无价的”,作表语。故填priceless。

⑧根据第三段“I was so excited, because this meant a chance for money in my pocket, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother. The prospect (前景) of the job was inviting, and I wanted to jump at the opportunity. (我非常兴奋,因为这意味着我有机会在口袋里有钱,当然,还有买一辆新自行车和新衣服的钱,以及开始为我母亲存钱买房的钱。这份工作的前景很诱人,我想抓住这个机会)”可知,这份工作的前景很诱人,空处应用appeal的形容词形式appealing,表示“有吸引力的”,作表语。故填appealing。
⑨根据第四段“Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball training to handle the work schedule. (然后我意识到,为了应付工作安排,我将不得不放弃夏季棒球训练。)”可知,但如果“我”想继续训练,就不得不放弃暑期工作,空处应用动词train,continue doing sth.表示“继续做某事”,所以空处使用动名词形式,作宾语。故填training。
⑩根据第四段“After all, my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment to me. I gathered my courage and knocked at his door. (毕竟,我给妈妈买房子,口袋里有钱的梦想值得我面对他的失望。我鼓起勇气敲了敲他的门)”可知,即使这会让教练失望,“我”仍然认为给我妈妈买房子赚更多的钱是正确的,空处应用disappoint的形容词形式disappointed,作宾补。故填disappointed。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“We had little money and few goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was happy and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream. (我们没什么钱,也没什么财物,但有足够的爱和关怀。我很快乐,也很有活力。我明白,无论一个人多么贫穷,他仍然可以实现梦想)”可知,作者认为即使物质上贫穷,精神上的追求和梦想是不受金钱限制的,每个人都有拥有梦想的权利。故答案为:It means that a person’s dream is not limited by money. No matter how poor one is, he can still have his own dream.
【48题详解】
推理判断题。根据“And I was so lucky that my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but often told me “The dream is invaluable.”(我很幸运,我的高中教练是奥利·贾维斯,他不仅相信我,而且经常告诉我“梦想是无价的”)”以及第四段“I thought of the advice my mother often gave me when I lacked courage “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.” I decided to talk to my coach by myself. After all, my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment to me. (当我缺乏勇气时,我想起了母亲经常给我的建议:“自食其果”。我决定自己和教练谈谈。毕竟,我给妈妈买房子,口袋里有钱的梦想值得我面对他的失望)”可推测,教练虽然可能会失望,但考虑到教练对作者的信任和对梦想的重视,教练最终可能会理解并尊重作者的决定。故答案为:Coach Jarvis might be disappointed at first, but he might finally understand and respect the author’s decision because he believed in the author and thought the dream was invaluable.
【49题详解】
开放性试题,答案不唯一,合理即可。如果我是教练,你会对作者说“我理解你的决定。你想照顾你妈妈,这很好。但不要放弃你的运动梦想。也许我们可以找到一种平衡工作和培训的方法。”故答案为:I understand your wish to earn money for your mother. But your athletic dream is also precious. Let’s try to find a way to balance the job and training so that you can both make money and keep pursuing your dream.

【答案】
Beat Plastic Pollution
June 5th is World Environment Day, and this year’s theme is “Beat Plastic Pollution”. Plastic pollution has brought about many harms. Firstly, it takes hundreds of years for plastic to decompose, which leads to a large amount of waste piling up in landfills and polluting the soil. Secondly, plastic waste often ends up in the ocean, posing a serious threat to marine life.
To address this issue, we can take several measures. We should reduce the use of single use plastics, such as plastic bags and straws. Instead, we can use reusable alternatives. Moreover, we can organize volunteer activities to pick up plastic waste in our communities, parks and beaches. By taking these actions, we can make a difference in reducing plastic pollution.
