Adversity and Courage
As teenagers,we will encounter many difficulties in our
lives.Taking myself for example,I'm too shy.Soon after I began
to study in high school,I found this problem become worse.I
didn't have the courage to ask my teachers questions.Gradually
my academic scores began to suffer and I began to feel very
lonely and upset.It was then that my head teacher came to talk
with me.I realized my problem and began to have the courage to
change it.
Now I have gained my confidence.What's more,I have
made many friends and I'm enjoying my high school life.It is
courage that helps me overcome the difficulty.
练案[16]
I.
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了由于分
心,大多数人在现实中无法察觉虚假的微笑。解释了微笑是如
何自然而然发生的以及微笑在不同的国家有不同的含义。
l.D细节理解题。根据第一段“In experiments where subjects
are shown photos of fake and spontaneous smiles,people are
pretty good at telling the difference.But in the real world,most
people are less able to distinguish between them.They are
distracted by other elements of communication such as speech,
hand gestures,and other body movements.(在实验中,实验对象
可以看到假笑和自然笑的照片,人们很善于分辨其中的区别。
但在现实世界中,大多数人都无法区分它们。他们会被其他
交流元素分散注意力,比如讲话、手势和其他身体动作。)”可
知,实验说明了由于分心,大多数人在现实中无法察觉虚假的
微笑。故选D。
2.D主旨大意题。根据第二段“This is because two muscles are
involved in spontaneous smiling.The first muscle is a ring-like
band of muscle around each eye.When it contracts,it causes what
we know as'smiling eyes'.The other muscle extends from the top
of the cheekbone to the corners of the mouth.It moves the mouth
upwards when we smile.This muscle on its own produces what we
call the mouth smile.'When people genuinely smile,in a
spontaneous burst of positive emotions,the corners of the mouth
move up and the muscles around the eves also contract.It is these
muscles that show that a smile is sincere.(这是因为自发的微笑
涉及两块肌肉。第一块肌肉是每只眼睛周围的环状肌肉带。
当它收缩时,就会产生我们所知的‘笑眼’。另一块肌肉从颧
骨顶部延伸到嘴角。当我们微笑时,它会让嘴巴向上移动
这块肌肉本身就产生了我们所说的‘嘴笑'。当人们真诚地
微笑时,在一种自发的积极情绪中,嘴角会上扬,眼睛周围的
肌肉也会收缩。正是这些肌肉表明微笑是真诚的。)”可知,第
二段主要讲了自然微笑是如何产生的。故选D。
3.B推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Smiles can mean very
different things in different countries.In the USA,for example,a
smile is a friendly,positive gesture of trust.In contrast,in some
Asian societies,people smile when they are happy,of course,but
also when they feel anger,sadness,confusion,or embarrassment,
perhaps to mask their true feelings..(微笑在不同的国家有不同
的含义。例如,在美国,微笑是一种友好、积极的信任姿态。
相比之下,在一些亚洲社会,人们当然会在高兴时微笑,但在
感到愤怒、悲伤、困惑或尴尬时也会微笑,也许是为了掩盖他
们的真实感受。)”可推知,文中提到美国和一些亚洲社会是
为了展示与微笑相关的文化差异。故选B。
4.A推理判断题。根据最后一段“Cultural nomms aside,some
people tend to smile more than others and that seems to indicate
they are cheerful,optimistic types.But that relationship isn't
strictly true.Some people rarely smile and are quite happy.Others
often have a smile on their face when they are actually feeling
anxious.Human communication is full of uncertainties and we
sometimes have a difficult time understanding each other,but a
genuine,heartfelt smile that lights up a face can never be
misunderstood.(抛开文化规范不谈,有些人比其他人更爱笑,
这似乎表明他们是开期、乐观的类型。但这种关系并不完全
正确。有些人很少微笑,却很快乐。另一些人通常在他们感
到焦虑的时候脸上挂着微笑。人类的交流充满了不确定性,
有时我们很难理解彼此,但一个真正的、发自内心的微笑永远
不会被误解。)”可推知,微笑与性格没什么关系。故选A。
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。联合国教科文组织将春
节列入人类非物质文化遗产名录,强调其丰富的文化元素和社
会实践,体现了中国人民对家庭、自然和谐及美好生活的向往。
1.was made考查动词的时态和语态。句意:这一决定是在l2
月2日至7日于巴拉圭举行的第19届保护非物质文化遗产
政府间委员会会议上做出的。句子主语为“The decision”,与
“make”之间是被动关系,即“决定被做出”。根据语境,这里
描述的是过去发生的事情(12月2日至7日在巴拉圭举行的
会议上做出的决定),所以用一般过去时的被动语态ws,
were+过去分词,主语decision为单数。故填was made
2.amd考查连词。句意:委员会认可了春节广泛的仪式和独特
的文化元素,这些元素吸引了整个中国社会的参与。“its wide
array of rituals(众多的仪式)”和“unique cultural elements(独
特的文化元素)”是并列关系,都用来描述春节被委员会认可
的原因,所以用and连接。故填and。
3.marking考查非谓语动词。句意:联合国教科文组织指出,春
节标志着中国传统农历新年的开始,涉及多种社会实践,包括
祈求好运和家庭团聚。“mark the start of the traditional Chinese
Lunar New Year(标志着中国传统农历新年的开始)”在此处作
后置定语修饰“the Spring Festival”,“the Spring Festival”与
“mark”之间是主动关系,即“春节标志着…”,所以用现在
分i词。故填marking。
4.prayers考查名词复数。句意:联合国教科文组织指出,春节
标志着中国传统农历新年的开始,涉及多种社会实践,包括对
好运和家庭团聚的企盼。“including”是介词,后接名词作宾
语。“prayer”表示“企盼;祈祷”时,为可数名词,这里指各种
祈福活动,所以用复数形式。故填prayers。
5.features考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意:它还包含了由
长辈策划的活动以及由社区组织的节日公共活动。句子主语
“t"指代“the Spring Festival”,是第三人称单数,且句子描述
的是一般事实,用一般现在时,所以谓语动词feature用第三人
称单数形式features。故填features。
6.associated考查非谓语动词。句意:根据联合国教科文组织
的文件记录,与春节相关的知识和习俗通过家庭和社区非正
式地传承,同时也通过教育系统正式地传承下去。“associated
with the Spring Festival(与春节相关的)”作后置定语,修饰
“the knowledge and customs'”,“be associated with”表示“与…
相关”,这里省略be动词,用过去分词形式associated。故填
associated。
7.dowm考查固定短语。句意:根据联合国教科文组织的文件
记录,与春节相关的知识和习俗通过家庭和社区非正式地传
承,同时也通过教育系统正式地传承下去。“pass down”是固
定短语,意为“传承;传递”,符合题意。故填dom。
8.wo考查定语从句。句意:中国文化和旅游部副部长饶权,
他带领中国代表团出席了联合国教科文组织会议,对这一认
可表示感谢。分析句子结构可知,“8.
led the Chinese
delegation at the UNESCO session”是一个非限制性定语从句,
先行词是“Rao Quan”,指人,在从句中作主语,所以用关系代
词who引导。故填who。
9.recognition考查名词。句意:中国文化和旅游部副部长饶
权,他带领中国代表团出席了联合国教科文组织会议,对这一
认可表示感谢。定冠词“the”后接名词,“recognize”的名词形
式是“ecognition”,意为“认可;承认”,为不可数名词。故填
recognition。
10.a考查冠词。句意:他强调,春节是中国最重要的传统节
日,象征着中国人民对更美好生活的希望,对家庭和国家的
紧密联系,以及人与自然和谐相处的价值观。“a better life”
表示“一种更美好的生活”。故填a。
