The Transformative Power of Solo Travel Solo travel, considered by many as the ultimate form of self-discovery, has gained immense popularity among young adults in recent years. Unlike group tours ____31____ everything is arranged, traveling alone pushes individuals out of their comfort zones, forcing them to confront unexpected challenges. Statistics show that the number of solo travelers under 30 ____32____ (increase) by 150% since 2015. What drives this trend? Psychologists suggest that young people, ____33____ grow up in an increasingly digital world, are pursuing authentic experiences that social media cannot provide. When you're alone in a foreign country and there is no one ____34____ (depend) on, every decision — from navigating public transportation ____35____ ordering food in a local dialect — becomes a lesson in independence. However, solo travel isn't without risks. Seasoned travelers recommend researching local customs thoroughly beforehand. In certain Middle Eastern countries, for instance, women who travel alone ____36____ (expect) to dress modestly to avoid unwanted attention. Failure to____37____ (adjustment) to local cultural norms may lead to serious consequences. Ultimately, those who have experienced solo travel often describe it as life-changing and they became ____38____ (affection) toward traveling alone. The challenges overcome and perspectives gained tend to have ____39____ considerable effect that no classroom education can match. As travel writer Pico Lyer once remarked, “We travel initially to lose ourselves; we travel next to find ourselves.” Perhaps this explains ____40____ more young people are choosing to embark on journeys alone, seeking not just destinations, but transformations. Section C (10 points) Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. forms B. present C. reflected D. direction E. works F. dates G. amazing H. respect I. key J. former K. factors China is widely known for its ancient civilisation which has continued all the way through into modern times, despite the many ups and downs in its history. There are many reasons why this has been possible, but one of the main ____41____ has been the Chinese writing system. At the beginning, written Chinese was a picture-based language. It ____42____ back several thousand years to the use of longgu— animal bones and shells (壳) on which symbols were carved by ancient Chinese people. Some of the ancient symbols can still be ____43____ in today’ s hanzi. By the Shang Dynasty, these symbols had become a well-developed writing system. Over the years, the system developed into different ____44____, as it was a time when people were divided geographically, leading to many varieties of dialects (方言) and characters. This, however, changed under Emperor Qinshihuang of the Qin Dynasty. Emperor Qinshihuang unified (统一) the seven major states into one country where the Chinese writing system began to develop in one ____45____. That writing system was ____46____ to connecting the Chinese people and culture. Even today, no matter where Chinese people live or what dialect they speak, they can all still communicate in writing. Written Chinese has also become an important means by which China’s ____47____ is connected with its past. People in modern times can read the classic ____48____ written by the Chinese in ancient times. The high ____49____ for the Chinese writing system can be seen in the development of Chinese characters as an art form, known as Chinese calligraphy, which has become an important part of Chinese culture. Today, the Chinese writing system is still an important part of Chinese culture. As China plays a greater role in global affairs, an increasing number of international students are beginning to appreciate China's culture and history through this ____50____ language. Ⅲ.

They ____56____ an environment where you can practise under the guidance of someone who’s good at the language. We all lead ____57____ lives and learning language takes time. You will have more success if you study regularly, so try to develop a ____58____. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t got long. Becoming ____59____ in a language will take years, but learning to get by takes a lot less. Many people start learning a language and soon give up. “I’m too ____60____,” they say.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A In winter, Hammerfest is a thirty-hour ride by bus from Oslo, though why anyone would want to go there in winter is a question worth considering. It is on the edge of the world, the northernmost town in Europe, as far from London as London is from Tunis, a place of dark and fierce winters, where the sun sinks into the Arctic Ocean in November and does not rise again for ten weeks. I wanted to see the Northern Lights in Hammerfest. But now as I picked my way through Oslo in late December, I was beginning to have my doubts. Things had not started well. I had overslept at the hotel, missing breakfast, and had to leap into my clothes. I couldn’t find a taxi and had to drag my overweight bag eight blocks to the central bus station. And now here I was arriving at the station two minutes before departure, and the girl at the ticket counter was telling me that she had no record of my reservation. “This isn’t happening,” I said. “I’m still at home in England enjoying Christmas.” Actually, I said, “There must be some mistake. Please look again.” The girl studied the passenger list. “No, Mr. Bryson, your name is not here.” But I could see it, even upside-down. “There it is, second from the bottom.” “No,” the girl decided, “that says Bernt Bjornson. That’s a Norwegian name.” “It doesn’t say Bernt Bjornson. It says Bill Bryson. Look at they, the two l’s. Miss, please,” But she wouldn’t have it. “If I miss this bus, when does the next one go?” “Next week at the same time.” Oh, splendid. “Miss, believe me, it says Bill Bryson.” “No, it doesn’t.” “Miss, look, I’ve come from England. I’m carrying some medicine that could save a child’s life.” She didn’t buy this. “I want to see the manager.” “He’s in Stavanger.” “Listen, I made a reservation by telephone. If I don’t get on this bus, I’m going to write a letter to your manager that will cast a shadow over your career prospects for the rest of this century.” This clearly did not alarm her. Then it occurred to me. “If this Bernt Bjornson doesn’t show up, can I have this seat?” “Sure.” Why don’t I think of these things in the first place? “Thank you,” I said. 66. What can be learned from the passage about Hammerfest? A. It is located in the South of the city of Oslo. B. It is where the Northern Lights can be seen. C. It is known as a town without sufficient power supply. D. It remains in the darkness from October till next March. 67. The writer got to the station just two minutes before the train departed because he spent much time ________. A. sleeping at the hotel B. packing everything into his luggage C. waiting for a taxi to send him there D. choosing suitable clothes to wear 68. By “Oh, splendid”, the writer meant that he actually felt ________. A. puzzled B. amazed C. worried D. relieved 69. Why did the writer say he was carrying some medicine and he would write to the manager? A. To tell the girl what he really wanted to do. B. To show the girl how angry he was with her. C. To warn the girl of the potential consequences. D. To persuade the girl to allow him onto the bus. B A project called “I Am A Scientist” is giving middle and high school students the opportunity to interact with modern-day researchers. Below are stories from some of the scientists who are involved in the program. Noor Al-Alusi, Epidemiologist (流行病学家) “I have a black belt in Taekwondo (跆拳道). I am driven by a deep desire to help others. I believe that all people have a fundamental right to health care.” Her work: During the Zika epidemic, Al-Alusi met with the communities that had been hardest hit by the virus, using data and mathematical models to keep them safe and healthy. Background: Al-Alusi was born in California but her parents emigrated from Iraq. This experience provided her with an understanding of the health needs of the immigrant community. Ryoji Amamoto, Neurobiologist (神经生物学家) “I’m a huge sports fan. I’ve traveled to more than 40 countries. I’m a licensed scuba diver but a terrible swimmer. I hated science in high school.” His work: Amamoto studies the tiny but amazing brains of animals that have a superpower — the ability to regenerate. He learns what factors help these special brains regrow, so that we can try to treat diseases like Parkinson’s. Background: Amamoto lived in Japan until the age of eight, when his family moved to Chicago. He had to overcome major language barriers which saw him shift between speaking English at school and Japanese at home. Yamicia Connor, Physician Scientist “I once competed in a robot competition I love Beyonce. I love cooking. I’m a doctor who studies ways to improve women’s health.” Her work: Connor is a doctor at a hospital in Boston where she studies cancer cells in a lab using microscopes and computers, but she also works directly with patients who are undergoing tests for new cancer treatments. Background: Growing up in Florida, Connor was a serious kid who stressed about the little things. She was into her schoolwork and loved to put on plays with her friends in which she would organize the whole thing and assign everyone a role. 70.

C Deep in the forests in the Siem Reap Province, Cambodia, the five lotus-flower-shaped towers of the large Angkor Wat stand tall towards the sky. When tourists arrive at the main gate, they will be attracted to the large temple (庙宇). Angkor Wat was part of a city as big as London. This city was at the center of an empire that covered areas from southern Vietnam to Laos, and from the Mekong River to Eastern Myanmar between the 9th and 15th centuries. By around 1500 A.D., the Khmer capital was left behind empty, most likely after heavy floods and long droughts. Later, forests were all around the temples and buildings that lay hidden until their rediscovery in 1860. Angkor Wat’s inclusion in UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 1992 marked a milestone in the country’s recovery. The action of the protection and development of this cultural site is a typical example of international solidarity and proves to be one of UNESCO’s most important achievements. Thirty countries and a group of experts were brought together to work on scientific projects for the restoration (修复) of these amazing sites. The aim was to support long-term and environmentally friendly progress. Angkor has become a living laboratory showing the beauty of historic buildings. Walking through the temple, people see hundreds of beautiful figures on the walls telling the stories of these ancient people, and long hallways lined with many attractive supports. The fact that Angkor was taken off UNESCO’s List of World Heritage in Danger just twelve years later is a great achievement for most people of Cambodia. A large number of visitors from all over the world make their journey there enjoying the beautiful scenery. The large site now supports 700,000 local people and attracts some five million visitors whose flow (流动量) must be controlled each year. The local organizations in charge are carrying out several projects to encourage better development of the tourism industry. In this way, they hope to improve the lives of communities. 73. What probably caused people to leave the Khmer capital? A. The national wars. B. Its lack of forests. C The natural disasters. D. Its inconvenient location. 74. What does the underlined word “solidarity” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Joint effort. B. Good judgment. C. High recognition. D. Serious competition. 75. What may Cambodian people take great pride in according to the author? A. The stories about the figures on the temple walls. B. The fact that Angkor is used for scientific studies. C. The good recovery of their cultural sites in a short time. D. The inclusion of Angkor in UNESCO’s World Heritage List. 76. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The flow of visitors to Angkor keeps rising. B Tourism is being improved to benefit local living. C. The public is less worried about Angkor’s natural scenery. D. Tourism has had a negative influence on the local environment. Section C (8 points) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Do you ever find yourself studying really hard for a test but ultimately not doing so well? You spent hours reviewing your notes, only to receive a grade that doesn’t reflect your hard work. ___77___Below are a couple of active studying methods that I found worked best for me. Method #1: Try explaining the concepts/theories that you’re studying to family members or friends. If you can explain it to them to a point where they can understand it, then that means you understand it. Method #2: ___78___This helps our brain with classifying information. If you can fill up a table, that means you know enough about them. Understanding their similarities and differences will also be helpful for a test. Method #3: Study with friends. If you’re able to stay focused, studying with a group might be more fun and motivating than studying alone. ___79___Pick potential test topics and hold discussions to gain insight into different ways of thinking about a problem. Method #4: This one shouldn’t be much of a surprise - flashcards. Flashcards are a great way to memorize important material! To make it more fun, write your flashcards using colorful pens and highlight important parts. ___80___Studying can be boring, but finding ways to make it more fun can really help you do well on your tests. So don’t lose motivation - you’ve got this! A. It also often shows you that you know more of the material than you think. B. Try using some of these methods when you study for your next test, and see if you’ve improved. C. It’s not that you’re not smart - it’s just that you’re studying the wrong way. D. Identify what to compare and make sure it ties to the important content to be learned. E. Create compare-and-contrast tables for different concepts/theories. F. It’s also great to hear other people’s thoughts on the course material in case there’s anything you missed or misinterpreted. IV.

The Transformative Power of Solo Travel Solo travel, considered by many as the ultimate form of self-discovery, has gained immense popularity among young adults in recent years. Unlike group tours ____31____ everything is arranged, traveling alone pushes individuals out of their comfort zones, forcing them to confront unexpected challenges. Statistics show that the number of solo travelers under 30 ____32____ (increase) by 150% since 2015. What drives this trend? Psychologists suggest that young people, ____33____ grow up in an increasingly digital world, are pursuing authentic experiences that social media cannot provide. When you're alone in a foreign country and there is no one ____34____ (depend) on, every decision — from navigating public transportation ____35____ ordering food in a local dialect — becomes a lesson in independence. However, solo travel isn't without risks. Seasoned travelers recommend researching local customs thoroughly beforehand. In certain Middle Eastern countries, for instance, women who travel alone ____36____ (expect) to dress modestly to avoid unwanted attention. Failure to____37____ (adjustment) to local cultural norms may lead to serious consequences. Ultimately, those who have experienced solo travel often describe it as life-changing and they became ____38____ (affection) toward traveling alone. The challenges overcome and perspectives gained tend to have ____39____ considerable effect that no classroom education can match. As travel writer Pico Lyer once remarked, “We travel initially to lose ourselves; we travel next to find ourselves.” Perhaps this explains ____40____ more young people are choosing to embark on journeys alone, seeking not just destinations, but transformations. 【答案】31. where 32. has increased 33. who 34. to depend 35. to 36. are expected 37. adjust 38. affectionate 39. a 40. why##that 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨了独自旅行在年轻人中日益流行的现象，分析了其流行的原因、存在的风险以及给年轻人带来的改变。 【31题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：与一切都被安排好的团体旅行不同，独自旅行将个人推出舒适区，迫使他们面对意想不到的挑战。此处为定语从句修饰先行词group tours，先行词在从句中作地点状语，相当于in group tours，所以用关系副词where引导。故填where。 【32题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：统计数据显示，自2015年以来，30岁以下独自旅行的人数增长了150%。根据时间状语since 2015可知，此处强调从过去持续到现在的动作，要用现在完成时，其结构为“have/has +过去分词”，主语the number of solo travelers为单数概念，所以用has increased。故填has increased。 【33题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：心理学家认为，在日益数字化的世界中长大的年轻人正在追求社交媒体无法提供的真实体验。此处为定语从句修饰先行词young people，先行词在从句中作主语，指人，所以用关系代词who引导。故填who。 【34题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：当你独自在异国他乡，没有人可以依靠时，每一个决定——从乘坐公共交通工具到用当地方言点餐——都成为了关于独立的一课。此处为动词不定式作后置定语，修饰no one，表示“可以依靠的人”，构成固定搭配have no one to depend on。故填to depend。 【35题详解】 考查介词。句意：当你独自在异国他乡，没有人可以依靠时，每一个决定——从乘坐公共交通工具到用当地方言点餐——都成为了关于独立的一课。此处为固定搭配from...to...，意为“从……到……”。故填to。 【36题详解】 考查动词语态。句意：例如，在某些中东国家，独自旅行的女性被期望穿着端庄，以避免不必要的注意。此处为谓语动词，主语women与expect之间为被动关系，应用被动语态，且句子陈述一般事实，用一般现在时，主语为复数，所以用are expected。故填are expected。 【37题详解】 考查动词。句意：未能适应当地文化规范可能会导致严重后果。此处为固定搭配failure to do sth.，意为“未能做某事”，所以此处用动词原形adjust。故填adjust。 【38题详解】 考查形容词。句意：最终，那些有过独自旅行经历的人常常将其描述为改变人生的经历，并且他们对独自旅行变得充满喜爱。become为系动词，后接形容词作表语，affection的形容词形式为affectionate，意为“充满喜爱的”。故填affectionate。 【39题详解】 考查冠词。句意：克服的挑战和获得的视角往往具有相当大的影响，这是任何课堂教育都无法比拟的。此处为固定搭配have a...effect，意为“有……影响”，considerable是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词a。故填a。 【40题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：也许这就解释了为什么/这一现象，越来越多的年轻人选择独自踏上旅程，他们寻找的不仅仅是目的地，而是自我的转变。此处为连接词引导的宾语从句作explains的宾语，若表示“为什么越来越多年轻人选择独自旅行”，从句中缺少原因状语，所以用连接副词why引导；若表示“这就解释了这一现象，即越来越多年轻人选择独自旅行”，从句中不缺少成分，且句意完整，可用连接词that引导，只起连接作用，无实际意义。故填why/that。 Section C (10 points) Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A In winter, Hammerfest is a thirty-hour ride by bus from Oslo, though why anyone would want to go there in winter is a question worth considering. It is on the edge of the world, the northernmost town in Europe, as far from London as London is from Tunis, a place of dark and fierce winters, where the sun sinks into the Arctic Ocean in November and does not rise again for ten weeks. I wanted to see the Northern Lights in Hammerfest. But now as I picked my way through Oslo in late December, I was beginning to have my doubts. Things had not started well. I had overslept at the hotel, missing breakfast, and had to leap into my clothes. I couldn’t find a taxi and had to drag my overweight bag eight blocks to the central bus station. And now here I was arriving at the station two minutes before departure, and the girl at the ticket counter was telling me that she had no record of my reservation. “This isn’t happening,” I said. “I’m still at home in England enjoying Christmas.” Actually, I said, “There must be some mistake. Please look again.” The girl studied the passenger list. “No, Mr. Bryson, your name is not here.” But I could see it, even upside-down. “There it is, second from the bottom.” “No,” the girl decided, “that says Bernt Bjornson. That’s a Norwegian name.” “It doesn’t say Bernt Bjornson. It says Bill Bryson. Look at they, the two l’s. Miss, please,” But she wouldn’t have it. “If I miss this bus, when does the next one go?” “Next week at the same time.” Oh, splendid. “Miss, believe me, it says Bill Bryson.” “No, it doesn’t.” “Miss, look, I’ve come from England. I’m carrying some medicine that could save a child’s life.” She didn’t buy this. “I want to see the manager.” “He’s in Stavanger.” “Listen, I made a reservation by telephone. If I don’t get on this bus, I’m going to write a letter to your manager that will cast a shadow over your career prospects for the rest of this century.” This clearly did not alarm her. Then it occurred to me. “If this Bernt Bjornson doesn’t show up, can I have this seat?” “Sure.” Why don’t I think of these things in the first place? “Thank you,” I said. 66. What can be learned from the passage about Hammerfest? A. It is located in the South of the city of Oslo. B. It is where the Northern Lights can be seen. C. It is known as a town without sufficient power supply. D. It remains in the darkness from October till next March. 67. The writer got to the station just two minutes before the train departed because he spent much time ________. A. sleeping at the hotel B. packing everything into his luggage C. waiting for a taxi to send him there D. choosing suitable clothes to wear 68. By “Oh, splendid”, the writer meant that he actually felt ________. A. puzzled B. amazed C. worried D. relieved 69. Why did the writer say he was carrying some medicine and he would write to the manager? A. To tell the girl what he really wanted to do. B. To show the girl how angry he was with her. C. To warn the girl of the potential consequences. D. To persuade the girl to allow him onto the bus. 【答案】66. B 67. A 68. C 69. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者计划前往哈默弗斯特看北极光，但是在抵达车站后，因订票姓名问题与工作人员发生了争执，最终想到了解决办法的一段经历。 【66题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I wanted to see the Northern Lights in Hammerfest. (我想去哈默费斯特看北极光。)”可知，哈默费斯特是能看到北极光的地方。故选B。 【67题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I had overslept at the hotel, missing breakfast, and had to leap into my clothes. I couldn’t find a taxi and had to drag my overweight bag eight blocks to the central bus station. (我在酒店睡过头了，错过了早餐，只好匆忙穿上衣服。我找不到出租车，只好拖着沉重的行李包走了八条街，才到达市中心的公交站。)”可知，作者在汽车出发前两分钟才到达车站，是因为在酒店睡过头了。故选A。 【68题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文作者与售票女孩的对话““If I miss this bus, when does the next one go?” “Next week at the same time.”(“如果我错过了这趟公交车，下一趟什么时候发车？”“下周同一时间发车。”)”可知，当作者听到得在一周后才能有下一班车时，应该是感到非常担忧，担心自己错过了这班车。故选C。 【69题详解】 推理判断题。根据前文内容可知，作者提前预订了大巴票，但售票女孩找不到他的预订信息，告诉他下一班大巴要等整整一周，赶不上这班车作者的行程就全乱了，因此作者称自己带着药品及说要给经理写信，都是为了想尽办法说服女孩让自己上车。故选D。 B A project called “I Am A Scientist” is giving middle and high school students the opportunity to interact with modern-day researchers.

Ryoji Amamoto, Neurobiologist (神经生物学家) “I’m a huge sports fan. I’ve traveled to more than 40 countries. I’m a licensed scuba diver but a terrible swimmer. I hated science in high school.” His work: Amamoto studies the tiny but amazing brains of animals that have a superpower — the ability to regenerate. He learns what factors help these special brains regrow, so that we can try to treat diseases like Parkinson’s. Background: Amamoto lived in Japan until the age of eight, when his family moved to Chicago. He had to overcome major language barriers which saw him shift between speaking English at school and Japanese at home. Yamicia Connor, Physician Scientist “I once competed in a robot competition. I love Beyonce. I love cooking. I’m a doctor who studies ways to improve women’s health.” Her work: Connor is a doctor at a hospital in Boston where she studies cancer cells in a lab using microscopes and computers, but she also works directly with patients who are undergoing tests for new cancer treatments.

When tourists arrive at the main gate, they will be attracted to the large temple (庙宇). Angkor Wat was part of a city as big as London. This city was at the center of an empire that covered areas from southern Vietnam to Laos, and from the Mekong River to Eastern Myanmar between the 9th and 15th centuries. By around 1500 A.D., the Khmer capital was left behind empty, most likely after heavy floods and long droughts. Later, forests were all around the temples and buildings that lay hidden until their rediscovery in 1860. Angkor Wat’s inclusion in UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 1992 marked a milestone in the country’s recovery. The action of the protection and development of this cultural site is a typical example of international solidarity and proves to be one of UNESCO’s most important achievements. Thirty countries and a group of experts were brought together to work on scientific projects for the restoration (修复) of these amazing sites. The aim was to support long-term and environmentally friendly progress. Angkor has become a living laboratory showing the beauty of historic buildings. Walking through the temple, people see hundreds of beautiful figures on the walls telling the stories of these ancient people, and long hallways lined with many attractive supports. The fact that Angkor was taken off UNESCO’s List of World Heritage in Danger just twelve years later is a great achievement for most people of Cambodia. A large number of visitors from all over the world make their journey there enjoying the beautiful scenery. The large site now supports 700,000 local people and attracts some five million visitors whose flow (流动量) must be controlled each year. The local organizations in charge are carrying out several projects to encourage better development of the tourism industry. In this way, they hope to improve the lives of communities. 73. What probably caused people to leave the Khmer capital? A. The national wars. B. Its lack of forests. C. The natural disasters. D. Its inconvenient location. 74. What does the underlined word “solidarity” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Joint effort. B. Good judgment. C. High recognition. D. Serious competition. 75. What may Cambodian people take great pride in according to the author? A. The stories about the figures on the temple walls. B. The fact that Angkor is used for scientific studies. C. The good recovery of their cultural sites in a short time. D. The inclusion of Angkor in UNESCO’s World Heritage List. 76. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The flow of visitors to Angkor keeps rising. B. Tourism is being improved to benefit local living. C. The public is less worried about Angkor’s natural scenery. D. Tourism has had a negative influence on the local environment. 【答案】73. C 74. A 75. C 76. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了柬埔寨吴哥窟的历史、修复、文化价值及旅游业发展。 【73题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“By around 1500 A.D., the Khmer capital was left behind empty, most likely after heavy floods and long droughts.(到公元1500年左右，高棉首都可能在大洪水和长期干旱之后被遗弃。)”可知，自然灾害可能是导致人们离开高棉首都的原因。故选C。 【74题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Angkor Wat’s inclusion in UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 1992 marked a milestone in the country’s recovery. The action of the protection and development of this cultural site is a typical example of international solidarity and proves to be one of UNESCO’s most important achievements. Thirty countries and a group of experts were brought together to work on scientific projects for the restoration (修复) of these amazing sites. The aim was to support long-term and environmentally friendly progress.(1992年，吴哥窟被列入联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录，这标志着该国复兴进程中的一个重要里程碑。保护和开发这一文化遗址的行动是国际solidarity的典范，也是联合国教科文组织最重要的成就之一。三十个国家和一批专家齐聚一堂，共同开展科学项目，修复这些令人惊叹的遗址，旨在支持长期且环保的可持续发展。)”可知，保护和发展这一文化遗址的行动是国际合作的典型例子，故solidarity意思是“共同努力”。A.

Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Do you ever find yourself studying really hard for a test but ultimately not doing so well? You spent hours reviewing your notes, only to receive a grade that doesn’t reflect your hard work. ___77___Below are a couple of active studying methods that I found worked best for me. Method #1: Try explaining the concepts/theories that you’re studying to family members or friends. If you can explain it to them to a point where they can understand it, then that means you understand it. Method #2: ___78___This helps our brain with classifying information. If you can fill up a table, that means you know enough about them. Understanding their similarities and differences will also be helpful for a test. Method #3: Study with friends. If you’re able to stay focused, studying with a group might be more fun and motivating than studying alone. ___79___Pick potential test topics and hold discussions to gain insight into different ways of thinking about a problem. Method #4: This one shouldn’t be much of a surprise - flashcards. Flashcards are a great way to memorize important material! To make it more fun, write your flashcards using colorful pens and highlight important parts. ___80___Studying can be boring, but finding ways to make it more fun can really help you do well on your tests. So don’t lose motivation - you’ve got this! A. It also often shows you that you know more of the material than you think. B. Try using some of these methods when you study for your next test, and see if you’ve improved. C. It’s not that you’re not smart - it’s just that you’re studying the wrong way. D. Identify what to compare and make sure it ties to the important content to be learned. E. Create compare-and-contrast tables for different concepts/theories. F. It’s also great to hear other people’s thoughts on the course material in case there’s anything you missed or misinterpreted. 【答案】77. C 78. E 79. F 80.
