36. 你不应该和你的朋友争吵。
You shouldn’t ________ ________ your friends.
【答案】 ①. argue ②. with

37. 她总是乐于助人,因为她认为这能给她带来快乐。
She is always ready to help others because she thinks it can ________ her ________.
【答案】 ①. bring ②. happiness
【解析】
【详解】根据中英文对照可知,此处缺少“给……带来快乐”。bring sb. happiness“给某人带来快乐”,情态动词“can”后应接动词原形“bring”。故填bring;happiness。
38. 他用塑料块和鱼线制作了这个机器人手臂。

六、阅读表达(共10分;每题2分)
Jeans are so common, and you may want to know their history and who invented them. Jeans were invented by Levi Strauss. He went to the US in 1847 and followed the Gold Rush to San Francisco. He carried many kinds of fabric (布料) to sell. Levi quickly became a successful businessman. The miners (矿工) in California had a problem with their pants. When they found gold or ore (矿石), they carried it in their pockets. But the metal was heavy, and the pockets ripped (撕开). In 1873, Jacob and Levi made the first jeans—tough pants. The miners loved them, and the jeans quickly became popular.
At the beginning, Levi’s jeans were work pants. Many workers wore them all the time. But a gentleman wouldn’t think of wearing jeans. Women didn’t wear pants at all. But this changed when Western movies became popular. All the cowboys were in jeans. People thought the cowboys looked cool. But jeans still weren’t proper for places like schools and offices. Back in the US, fashions changed. Movie stars wore jeans in their films. Teenagers everywhere loved them. Some schools banned (禁止) jeans because of their “rebel (叛逆)” image. But casual clothing, including jeans, became popular for more and more occasions. Eventually, jeans were so common that it became okay for anyone to wear them. You can even find pictures of the president wearing jeans.
Jeans are popular today for the same reasons they were popular when Levi Strauss first made them. They look good, they last long, and they are comfortable. So we can see people wear them everywhere.
61. Why are jeans popular today?
___________________________________________________________
62. What did people think of the cowboys in jeans?
___________________________________________________________
63. 请将文中画线句子翻译成汉语。
___________________________________________________________
64. Why were jeans banned in some schools?
___________________________________________________________
65. Do you like jeans? Why or why not?
___________________________________________________________
【答案】61. Because they look good, they last long and they are comfortable.
62. People thought the cowboys in jeans looked cool.
63. 起初,Levi的牛仔裤是工作裤。
64. Because of their “rebel” image.
65. Yes, I like jeans because they are comfortable.
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了牛仔裤的历史、发展过程以及受欢迎的原因。
【61题详解】
根据“Jeans are popular today for the same reasons they were popular when Levi Strauss first made them. They look good, they last long, and they are comfortable.”可知,牛仔裤受欢迎的原因是因为它们好看、耐穿且舒适。故填Because they look good, they last long and they are comfortable.
【62题详解】
根据“All the cowboys were in jeans. People thought the cowboys looked cool.”可知,人们认为穿牛仔裤的牛仔看起来很酷。故填People thought the cowboys in jeans looked cool.
【63题详解】
At the beginning“起初”;Levi’s jeans“Levi的牛仔裤”;work pants“工作裤”。故填:起初,Levi的牛仔裤是工作裤。
【64题详解】
根据“Some schools banned (禁止) jeans because of their ‘rebel (叛逆)’ image.”可知,一些学校禁止牛仔裤是因为它们具有“叛逆”的形象。故填Because of their “rebel” image.
【65题详解】
开放性设题,答案合理即可。参考答案为Yes, I like jeans because they are comfortable.

“Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m possible’.” Audrey Hepburn, the British actress and star of the silver screen, said this. However, doubts and fears often hold us back. How can we face them and succeed?
The runner Su Bingtian gives an excellent answer to this question. The young man began his sporting life in 2006. At that time, no one from Asia had ever run the 100 m race in less than 10 seconds. Su trained hard and quickly became one of the fastest runners in Asia. In 2011, he ran the race in 10.16 seconds.

In 2015, he clocked 9.99 seconds and made history. In 2021, he finished in 9.83 seconds at the Tokyo Olympics. He also became the first Chinese athlete to run in the Olympic 100 m final.

Jeans are so common, and you may want to know their history and who invented them. Jeans were invented by Levi Strauss. He went to the US in 1847 and followed the Gold Rush to San Francisco. He carried many kinds of fabric (布料) to sell. Levi quickly became a successful businessman. The miners (矿工) in California had a problem with their pants. When they found gold or ore (矿石), they carried it in their pockets. But the metal was heavy, and the pockets ripped (撕开). In 1873, Jacob and Levi made the first jeans—tough pants. The miners loved them, and the jeans quickly became popular.
At the beginning, Levi’s jeans were work pants. Many workers wore them all the time. But a gentleman wouldn’t think of wearing jeans. Women didn’t wear pants at all. But this changed when Western movies became popular. All the cowboys were in jeans. People thought the cowboys looked cool. But jeans still weren’t proper for places like schools and offices. Back in the US, fashions changed. Movie stars wore jeans in their films. Teenagers everywhere loved them. Some schools banned (禁止) jeans because of their “rebel (叛逆)” image. But casual clothing, including jeans, became popular for more and more occasions. Eventually, jeans were so common that it became okay for anyone to wear them. You can even find pictures of the president wearing jeans.
Jeans are popular today for the same reasons they were popular when Levi Strauss first made them. They look good, they last long, and they are comfortable. So we can see people wear them everywhere.
