Walking around the world may seem impossible, but that didn’t stop Angela Maxwell from putting one foot in front of the other. In 2020, Maxwell, then in her early 30s, began her walk around the world alone. After six-and-a-half years and over 32,000 kilometers, Maxwell’s walk ended where it began.
Before she left on her journey, Maxwell found inspiration from women explorers of the past. “I read their books in hopes of finding encouragement — and I did — by learning about their challenges and struggles as well as their triumphs (胜利). Each woman’s story was quite different and it gave me the confidence to give my walk a try,” Maxwell said.
After selling all of her belongings, Maxwell left her hometown of Bend, Oregon with 50 kilograms of camping gear (装备), dehydrated (脱水的) food, a water filter and clothing for all four seasons.
Maxwell’s worldwide walk wasn’t easy. She suffered from sunburn and heatstroke (中暑) in the Australian desert and dengue fever (登革热) in Vietnam. She heard gunshots while camping in Turkey and was attacked in her tent in Mongolia. Still, she continued to walk. She learned beekeeping in the Republic of Georgia and camel-handling on the historical Silk Road in Mongolia. She helped a farmer renovate (翻新) his house in Sardinia and handed out food to homeless people in Italy. She gathered countless stories that she’d go on to speak about at schools, universities and conferences.
When the reporter asked her what kind of person it takes to walk around the world, Maxwell said, “It’s probably a combination of ambition, a little stubbornness and a pinch of passion — not for hiking as a sport, but for self-discovery and adventure.”
“I didn’t start walking because I was fearless—but rather because I was terrified I was more afraid of not following my heart than I was of losing everything I owned and loved.”
Throughout her journey, Maxwell raised about $30,000 for non-governmental organizations, such as Her Future Coalition and World Pulse that focus on supporting girls and young women.
“Walking has taught me that everything and everyone has a story to share, we just have to be willing to listen,” she said.
24. What do we learn about Maxwell’s journey?
A. She stopped her journey halfway.
B. She made full preparations before her journey.
C. She went on a journey with other women explorers.
D. She got a lot of help from strangers during the journey.
25. Which of the following words can best describe Maxwell?
A. Strong-willed and brave. B. Enthusiastic and careful.
C. Modest and hardworking. D. Talented and thoughtful.
26. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Giving brings you benefits.
B. It’s never too old to learn.
C. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
D. Difficult life experiences may result in success.
C
People do not always expect us to succeed. In light of this, what happens when we think that others expect us to fail?
In one study, researchers carried out an experiment with 330 online workers, asking them to do a computer task that involved clicking on rapidly moving targets. They were told that someone was observing their performance. After they completed a 15-second practice, they received one of three messages — stating underdog expectations, high expectations, or neutral expectations — from the observer; unknown to them, the expectations were randomly (随机地) given to them. Participants then performed the task, which required both effort and focus to do effectively. Researchers found that those who experienced underdog expectations performed better than those who received high or neutral expectations.
To find out why underdog expectations lead people to perform better, researchers ran another experiment with 156 business students, having them complete a negotiations simulation (模拟谈判). Before they started negotiating, they were told that experts made predictions on their possibility of negotiating effectively. Once again, researchers randomly gave them either underdog, high, or neutral expectations. After the negotiation, the students were asked questions about their desire to prove others wrong, their self-confidence, and their assertiveness (魄力).
Like with earlier studies, those who experienced underdog expectations performed the best. In addition, instead of having greater self-confidence or being more assertive, the desire to prove others wrong was what helped researchers understand why those experiencing underdog expectations performed better.
Of course, underdog expectations do not always translate to success. There are many more examples of people failing to overcome the low expectations others set for them. So, when does being an underdog lead to success rather than failure?
Researchers reran the computer task of clicking on a target, but this time was a bit different: before participants received randomly given underdog, high, or neutral expectations, they were also randomly given information about the observer’s credibility (可信度). Specifically, participants in the high credibility condition read that the observer was a high performer in the same task and had an excellent record of predicting others’ performance. In the low credibility condition, participants read that the observer was a poor performer and was often incorrect about others’ performance.
Researchers found that underdog expectations from both less and more credible observers motivated (激励) participants to aim to prove others wrong. But this motivation only translated to better performance in the face of less credible observers, while it failed when it came from more credible observers. It appears that trying to prove highly credible people wrong may have developed a sense of anxiety, which undermined later performance. Quite the opposite, people experiencing underdog expectations from less credible observers were able to use the desire to prove others wrong and perform successfully.
Do these results mean leaders should set low expectations for their team to try to improve performance? Of course not. But they do suggest that more people can achieve success when they think others view them as underdogs.
27. The second experiment was intended to find out ________.
A. whether experts’ predictions matched the performance of the students.
B how researchers should present participants with different expectations.
C. what was behind the improved performance of “underdog” participants.
D. who would fail to overcome low expectations set before the negotiation.
28. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Different expectations were given based on participants’ assertiveness.
B. Underdogs tend to outperform expectations in a low credibility condition.
C. Self-confidence plays an important role in determining a person’s success.
D. Participants were motivated to perform better when they trusted observers.
29. What does the word “undermined” underlined in Paragraph 7 probably mean?
A. Weakened. B. Destroyed. C. Motivated. D. Translated.
30. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To present research findings about what causes underdog expectations.
B. To compare the effects of underdog, high, and neutral expectations.
C. To show how underdog expectations influence performance.
D. To analyze when underdog expectations can lead to success.

第三部分:书面表达(共三节,40分)
第一节(共4道小题;第36-37小题各2.5分,第38小题3分,第39小题5分,共13分)
阅读下列短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
There is a drive within all of us to create and express ourselves through art. This drive comes from a need to achieve a balance within ourselves. Art refers to the theory and physical expression of creativity found in human societies and cultures. Its major fields include literary arts, performing arts (e.g. theater and dance) and visual arts (e.g. drawing, painting, photography, film and sculpture).
Art is essential to our culture because it provides us with a deeper understanding of emotions. Through art, we learn to feel joy in times of happiness and we see pain and despair in times of suffering. Creating art allows us to slow down and experience a full range of our emotions, while viewing others’ art can release the emotions within us and allow us to explore our feelings. This can help us heal and grow and succeed both personally and professionally.
Art encourages critical thinking and promotes communication. Throughout the entire process of creating and appreciating art, we need to make decisions. We use logic and reasoning to find meaning in what we see or create. Art is a medium to share thoughts, ideas and visions that may not be expressed in other ways. Through art, we gain a better understanding of past and present cultures. Yet more importantly, there are no language barriers in art and therefore it is universal.
Art also enhances our lives. The process of experiencing art engages both the body and the mind and provides us with time to reflect. That’s why art is a necessity, not a luxury. It can make a community more beautiful and a workplace more interesting. Our homes reflect our personalities through the art we choose to display. Art can inspire us, make us happy and even motivate us.
We need to express ourselves through art. When we take a closer look at our world and begin to see the art and creativity in it, it can soothe, enrich or encourage ourselves. Art is beautiful, and beauty is an aesthetic quality.
36. What drives people to create and express themselves through art?
________________________________________________________________
37. What can we get by viewing others’ art?
________________________________________________________________
38. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Art helps people gain a better understanding of past and present cultures, and the language barriers make it difficult for people to appreciate art.

39. What is your favourite art form? And why? (In about 40 words)

As a high school student, Abreu, 16, took part in different voluntary___11___ (activity). These included helping staff at the public library, doing landscape work in public parks and serving customers at a local restaurant. He thanked his parents for inspiring him____12____ (do) the right thing. He remembered when he was about 6 years old, his mother invited a disadvantaged neighborhood boy to have dinner. Upon observing the boy’s happiness, he came away with a sense of helping as many people as he could. Since then, he___13___ (become) an active volunteer in various organizations. He values the experience a lot.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位叫做阿布瑞尤的16岁高中生参加不同的志愿活动及一段儿时的回忆。
【11题详解】
考查名词。句意:作为一名高中生,16岁的阿布瑞尤参加了不同的志愿活动。分析句子结构可知activity作took part in的宾语,固用名词形式;又因为其前有形容词different(不同的)修饰,所以要用其复数形式作宾语。故填activities。
【12题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他感谢他的父母激励他做正确的事。分析句子结构,空格处需填非谓语动词作宾补;据谓语动词inspire的用法,inspire sb to do sth. (鼓励某人做某事;鼓舞某人做某事;激励某人做某事)。所以填不定式作宾补,故填to do。
【13题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:从那时起,他就成了各种组织的一名积极的志愿者。根据时间状语Since then可知,此处使用现在完成时,主语为单数名词,谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。故填has become。
B
阅读下列短文,根据短文内容填空,在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词,在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。

【答案】14. feeling
15. typical
16. Coming 17. an
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章简要描绘了支教老师张天的日常。
【14题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:漫长的一天之后,张天终于回到了他的小房间,感到很累。空处为非谓语动词作状语,feel与逻辑主语Zhang Tian之间为主动关系,所以使用现在分词形式。故填feeling。
【15题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这是张天典型的一天。空处应为形容词作定语修饰名词day,type的形容词为typical意为“典型的”。故填typical。
【16题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:来到贵州省教书对他来说是一次相当不错的经历。空处应为非谓语动词作主语,表示经常性的动作,所以使用动名词形式,且位于句首时首字母需大写。故填Coming。
【17题详解】
考查冠词。句意:来到贵州省教书对他来说是一次相当不错的经历。experience为可数名词,此处表示泛指,且experience发音以元音音素开头,需用不定冠词an修饰。故填an。

Walking around the world may seem impossible, but that didn’t stop Angela Maxwell from putting one foot in front of the other. In 2020, Maxwell, then in her early 30s, began her walk around the world alone. After six-and-a-half years and over 32,000 kilometers, Maxwell’s walk ended where it began.
Before she left on her journey, Maxwell found inspiration from women explorers of the past. “I read their books in hopes of finding encouragement — and I did — by learning about their challenges and struggles as well as their triumphs (胜利). Each woman’s story was quite different and it gave me the confidence to give my walk a try,” Maxwell said.
After selling all of her belongings, Maxwell left her hometown of Bend, Oregon with 50 kilograms of camping gear (装备), dehydrated (脱水的) food, a water filter and clothing for all four seasons.
Maxwell’s worldwide walk wasn’t easy. She suffered from sunburn and heatstroke (中暑) in the Australian desert and dengue fever (登革热) in Vietnam. She heard gunshots while camping in Turkey and was attacked in her tent in Mongolia. Still, she continued to walk. She learned beekeeping in the Republic of Georgia and camel-handling on the historical Silk Road in Mongolia. She helped a farmer renovate (翻新) his house in Sardinia and handed out food to homeless people in Italy. She gathered countless stories that she’d go on to speak about at schools, universities and conferences.
When the reporter asked her what kind of person it takes to walk around the world, Maxwell said, “It’s probably a combination of ambition, a little stubbornness and a pinch of passion — not for hiking as a sport, but for self-discovery and adventure.”
“I didn’t start walking because I was fearless—but rather because I was terrified. I was more afraid of not following my heart than I was of losing everything I owned and loved.”
Throughout her journey, Maxwell raised about $30,000 for non-governmental organizations, such as Her Future Coalition and World Pulse that focus on supporting girls and young women.
“Walking has taught me that everything and everyone has a story to share, we just have to be willing to listen,” she said.
24. What do we learn about Maxwell’s journey?
A. She stopped her journey halfway.
B. She made full preparations before her journey.
C. She went on a journey with other women explorers.
D. She got a lot of help from strangers during the journey.
25. Which of the following words can best describe Maxwell?
A. Strong-willed and brave. B. Enthusiastic and careful.
C. Modest and hardworking. D. Talented and thoughtful.
26. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Giving brings you benefits.
B. It’s never too old to learn.
C. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
D. Difficult life experiences may result in success.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Angela Maxwell独自环球徒步的非凡经历。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“After selling all of her belongings, Maxwell left her hometown of Bend, Oregon with 50 kilograms of camping gear, dehydrated food, a water filter and clothing for all four seasons. (在变卖了所有的家当后,Maxwell带着50公斤的露营装备、脱水食品、滤水器和四季衣物离开了家乡俄勒冈州本德市。)”可知,她在出发前卖掉了所有财产,并准备了包括露营装备、脱水食品、水过滤器和四季衣物在内的物资,这表明她为旅程做了充分的准备。故选B。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。第四段中“Maxwell’s worldwide walk wasn’t easy. She suffered from sunburn and heatstroke in the Australian desert and dengue fever in Vietnam. She heard gunshots while camping in Turkey and was attacked in her tent in Mongolia. Still, she continued to walk. (Maxwell的环球之旅并不容易。她在澳大利亚沙漠中被晒伤和中暑,在越南得了登革热。她在土耳其露营时听到枪声,在蒙古的帐篷里遭到袭击。不过,她还是继续往前走。)”描述她克服中暑、登革热、遭遇枪击和袭击等重重困难仍坚持行走;再根据第五段中Maxwell接受采访时说的,“It’s probably a combination of ambition, a little stubbornness and a pinch of passion — not for hiking as a sport, but for self-discovery and adventure. (这可能是雄心壮志、一点点固执和一点点激情的结合——不是为了把徒步旅行作为一项运动,而是为了自我发现和冒险。)”和第六段中“I was more afraid of not following my heart than I was of losing everything I owned and loved. (比起失去我所拥有和所爱的一切,我更害怕不跟随自己的心。)”可知,她是一个“意志坚强”又“勇敢”的人。故选A。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是首段“Walking around the world may seem impossible, but that didn’t stop Angela Maxwell from putting one foot in front of the other. (环游世界似乎是不可能的,但这并没有阻止Angela Maxwell一步一步地走下去。)”以及她克服万难最终完成壮举的经历可知,文章核心传达的信息是:世上无难事,只怕有心人。故选C。
C
People do not always expect us to succeed. In light of this, what happens when we think that others expect us to fail?
In one study, researchers carried out an experiment with 330 online workers, asking them to do a computer task that involved clicking on rapidly moving targets. They were told that someone was observing their performance. After they completed a 15-second practice, they received one of three messages — stating underdog expectations, high expectations, or neutral expectations — from the observer; unknown to them, the expectations were randomly (随机地) given to them. Participants then performed the task, which required both effort and focus to do effectively. Researchers found that those who experienced underdog expectations performed better than those who received high or neutral expectations.
To find out why underdog expectations lead people to perform better, researchers ran another experiment with 156 business students, having them complete a negotiations simulation (模拟谈判). Before they started negotiating, they were told that experts made predictions on their possibility of negotiating effectively. Once again, researchers randomly gave them either underdog, high, or neutral expectations. After the negotiation, the students were asked questions about their desire to prove others wrong, their self-confidence, and their assertiveness (魄力).
Like with earlier studies, those who experienced underdog expectations performed the best. In addition, instead of having greater self-confidence or being more assertive, the desire to prove others wrong was what helped researchers understand why those experiencing underdog expectations performed better.
Of course, underdog expectations do not always translate to success. There are many more examples of people failing to overcome the low expectations others set for them. So, when does being an underdog lead to success rather than failure?
Researchers reran the computer task of clicking on a target, but this time was a bit different: before participants received randomly given underdog, high, or neutral expectations, they were also randomly given information about the observer’s credibility (可信度). Specifically, participants in the high credibility condition read that the observer was a high performer in the same task and had an excellent record of predicting others’ performance. In the low credibility condition, participants read that the observer was a poor performer and was often incorrect about others’ performance.
Researchers found that underdog expectations from both less and more credible observers motivated (激励) participants to aim to prove others wrong. But this motivation only translated to better performance in the face of less credible observers, while it failed when it came from more credible observers. It appears that trying to prove highly credible people wrong may have developed a sense of anxiety, which undermined later performance. Quite the opposite, people experiencing underdog expectations from less credible observers were able to use the desire to prove others wrong and perform successfully.
Do these results mean leaders should set low expectations for their team to try to improve performance? Of course not. But they do suggest that more people can achieve success when they think others view them as underdogs.
27. The second experiment was intended to find out ________.
A. whether experts’ predictions matched the performance of the students.
B. how researchers should present participants with different expectations.
C. what was behind the improved performance of “underdog” participants.
D. who would fail to overcome low expectations set before the negotiation.
28. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Different expectations were given based on participants’ assertiveness.
B. Underdogs tend to outperform expectations in a low credibility condition.
C. Self-confidence plays an important role in determining a person’s success.
D. Participants were motivated to perform better when they trusted observers.
29. What does the word “undermined” underlined in Paragraph 7 probably mean?
A. Weakened. B. Destroyed. C. Motivated. D. Translated.
30. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To present research findings about what causes underdog expectations.
B. To compare the effects of underdog, high, and neutral expectations.
C. To show how underdog expectations influence performance.
D. To analyze when underdog expectations can lead to success.
【答案】27. C 28. B 29. A 30. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章论述了低期望如何影响人们的表现,研究表明,低期望能够激励人们表现得更好,特别是在观察者可信度较低的情况下。这是因为受试者有强烈的欲望去证明别人是错的,而这种欲望使他们表现得更好。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“To find out why underdog expectations lead people to perform better, researchers ran another experiment with 156 business students, having them complete a negotiations simulation (模拟谈判).(为了找出低期望为何会让人表现得更好,研究人员对156名商科学生进行了另一项实验,让他们完成一场模拟谈判)”可推知,第二个实验的目的是找出“低期望”表现改善背后的原因。故选C。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第七段“Quite the opposite, people experiencing underdog expectations from less credible observers were able to use the desire to prove others wrong and perform successfully.(恰恰相反,经历低可信度观察者的不被看好的人能够利用证明他人错误的欲望并成功表现出色)”可知,在低可信度情况下,“低期望”倾向于表现得比预期更好。故选B。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第七段“It appears that trying to prove highly credible people wrong may have developed a sense of anxiety, which undermined later performance. Quite the opposite, people experiencing underdog expectations from less credible observers were able to use the desire to prove others wrong and perform successfully.(看来,试图证明高度可信的人是错误的可能会导致焦虑感,从而undermined后续的表现。恰恰相反,经历低可信度观察者的不被看好的人能够利用证明他人错误的欲望并成功表现出色)”可知,试图证明高度可信的人是错误的可能会导致焦虑感,从而削弱后续的表现,所以undermined的意思是“削弱”。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文尤其根据文章最后一句话“But they do suggest that more people can achieve success when they think others view them as underdogs.(但研究确实表明,当人们认为他人视他们为失败者时,他们可能会取得更多成功)”可知,文章介绍了一个研究,该研究表明低期望能激发更好的表现,并分析了何种情况下这种效果会产生。由此推知,文章的主要目的是解释低期望如何影响表现。故选C。

【31题详解】
根据前句“Culture shock is the feeling of uncertainty,confusion,or anxiety”(文化冲击是一种不确定、困惑或焦虑的感觉。)前文提出来文化冲击这个概念,这个空应该也是关于文化冲击带来的感觉,D项“Sometimes such a feeling can be very strong.”其中a feeling与前文feeling相呼应。故选D项。
【32题详解】
根据后句“It's because they are surrounded by people with the same beliefs and values,and cultural differences are only clear when you meet someone else’s culture.”(这是因为他们周围的人都有相同的信仰和价值观,只有当你遇到别人的文化时,文化差异才会明显。)可知,F项“Many people don’t realize how culture influences them.”其中culture与后句中cultural differences形成呼应结构,符合本段语境。故选F项。
【33题详解】
根据下文“You can also put something down if you're missing anyone from your hometown”(意思是如果你想念家乡的人,你也可以写下一些东西。)可知,这段话是在介绍远离故乡在外的时候的情况。G项“Perhaps you have recently moved to a new city or country.”其中moved to a new city or country与后句中missing anyone from your hometown相呼应,表示关于远离故乡,离开故乡的事情。故选G项。
【34题详解】
根据下文“You can share your feelings and experiences with your relatives and friends”(你可以和你的亲戚朋友分享你的感受和经历。)可知,B项“Talk to others about your experiences.”中experiences与后文中feelings and experiences形成呼应结构,符合本段语境,因此这个空作为这段话的主题句,说和别人谈论你的经历。故选B项。
【35题详解】
根据上文“Do some things you usually like”(做一些你平时喜欢做的事情。)可知E项“You can watch movies or listen to music that you enjoy.”其中you enjoy与前文you usually like相呼应,表示听一些你喜欢听的音乐或者看你喜欢看的电影。故选E项。

第三部分:书面表达(共三节,40分)
第一节(共4道小题;第36-37小题各2.5分,第38小题3分,第39小题5分,共13分)
阅读下列短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
There is a drive within all of us to create and express ourselves through art. This drive comes from a need to achieve a balance within ourselves. Art refers to the theory and physical expression of creativity found in human societies and cultures. Its major fields include literary arts, performing arts (e.g. theater and dance) and visual arts (e.g. drawing, painting, photography, film and sculpture).
Art is essential to our culture because it provides us with a deeper understanding of emotions. Through art, we learn to feel joy in times of happiness and we see pain and despair in times of suffering. Creating art allows us to slow down and experience a full range of our emotions, while viewing others’ art can release the emotions within us and allow us to explore our feelings. This can help us heal and grow and succeed both personally and professionally.
Art encourages critical thinking and promotes communication. Throughout the entire process of creating and appreciating art, we need to make decisions. We use logic and reasoning to find meaning in what we see or create. Art is a medium to share thoughts, ideas and visions that may not be expressed in other ways. Through art, we gain a better understanding of past and present cultures. Yet more importantly, there are no language barriers in art and therefore it is universal.
Art also enhances our lives. The process of experiencing art engages both the body and the mind and provides us with time to reflect. That’s why art is a necessity, not a luxury. It can make a community more beautiful and a workplace more interesting. Our homes reflect our personalities through the art we choose to display. Art can inspire us, make us happy and even motivate us.
We need to express ourselves through art. When we take a closer look at our world and begin to see the art and creativity in it, it can soothe, enrich or encourage ourselves. Art is beautiful, and beauty is an aesthetic quality.
36. What drives people to create and express themselves through art?
________________________________________________________________
37. What can we get by viewing others’ art?
________________________________________________________________
38. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Art helps people gain a better understanding of past and present cultures, and the language barriers make it difficult for people to appreciate art.
________________________________________________________________
39. What is your favourite art form? And why? (In about 40 words)
________________________________________________________________
【答案】36. A need to achieve a balance within ourselves.
37. We can release the emotions within us, explore our feelings, and this can help us heal, grow and succeed both personally and professionally.
38. Art helps people gain a better understanding of past and present cultures, and the language barriers make it difficult for people to appreciate art. There are no language barriers in art and therefore it is universal.
39. My favourite art form is the performing arts. Because acting allows us to express our true feelings and experience a full range of our emotions, while viewing others’ art can release the emotions within us and allow us to explore our feelings.(答案不唯一)
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了艺术对人类的重要性,包括艺术如何帮助我们理解情感、促进批判性思维和沟通、提升生活质量,以及艺术作为自我表达和创造力的媒介。
【36题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段“This drive comes from a need to achieve a balance within ourselves.(这种驱动力来自于我们内心需要达到平衡)”可知,驱使人们通过艺术来创造和表达自己的是我们内心需要达到平衡。故答案为A need to achieve a balance within ourselves.
【37题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段“viewing others’ art can release the emotions within us and allow us to explore our feelings. This can help us heal and grow and succeed both personally and professionally.(欣赏他人的艺术作品,能够释放我们内心的情感,让我们探索自身的感受。这有助于我们治愈心灵、成长进步,并在个人生活与职业发展中双双取得成功)”可知,通过欣赏他人的艺术品,我们能够释放内心的情感,探索自身的感受,而这会帮助我们治愈心灵、成长进步,在个人生活与职业发展中都收获成功。故答案为We can release the emotions within us, explore our feelings, and this can help us heal, grow and succeed both personally and professionally.
【38题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段“Yet more importantly, there are no language barriers in art and therefore it is universal.(然而更重要的是,艺术没有语言障碍,因此它是普遍的)”可知,艺术没有语言障碍,而不是语言障碍使人们难以欣赏艺术。所以陈述中错误的部分是the language barriers make it difficult for people to appreciate art,原因是There are no language barriers in art and therefore it is universal.故答案为Art helps people gain a better understanding of past and present cultures, and the language barriers make it difficult for people to appreciate art. There are no language barriers in art and therefore it is universal.。
【39题详解】
考查开放性试题。注意词数限制,言之有理即可。可以参考的答案是:我最喜欢的艺术形式是表演艺术。因为表演能让我们表达真实的情感,体验完整的情绪光谱,而欣赏他人的表演艺术则能释放我们内心的情感,让我们探索自身的感受。故答案为My favourite art form is the performing arts. Because acting allows us to express our true feelings and experience a full range of our emotions, while viewing others’ art can release the emotions within us and allow us to explore our feelings.(答案不唯一)

【43题详解】
考查时态。句意:我昨晚本来打算去你家的,但下雨了。根据“to go to your house last night, but it rained.”可知,此处指本打算去你家,动词intend“打算”符合句意;根据“last night”可知,此处用一般过去时,intend的过去式为intended。故填intended。
【44题详解】
考查情态动词。句意:也许我们应该更信任别人。根据“have trusted people more”可知,此处指应该更信任别人,ought to“应该”符合句意;ought to为情态动词,无形式变化。故填ought to。
【45题详解】
考查动词短语及固定句型。句意:你为什么不参加篮球队的选拔呢?根据“the basketball team”可知,此处指参加篮球队选拔,动词短语try out for“参加……的选拔”符合句意;why don’t you后接动词原形,故用短语原形。故填try out for。
