We can look at the traditional clothing to know more about culture. Africa has a long history and a rich culture, and this is shown in traditional dress. The three colours—red, gold and green, are often used in the clothing. The first colour represents the blood of millions of people who fought for freedom; the second, rich resources of the African earth: and the third, the grassland of home. Because clothing has strong social meanings, people are very careful in choosing what to wear. It would be a serious mistake to wear the wrong clothes, or to dress in the wrong way. For example, in Ghana, a woman should wear her waistband（腰带）differently according to the importance of the social event. Traditional dress also tells us about everyday life. African designs ate famous for loose（宽松的）clothing. The temperature there can be very high during the daytime but very low at night, so it requires that the clothes are comfortable for daily life. Today although more and more young people like wearing Western clothes, especially in big cities in Africa, traditional African dress is still quite valuable. This is because it has dep cultural meaning. Traditional dress in Africa Different colours * The three most important colours 1 in clothing are red, gold and green. * Different colours 2 for different things: the blood of freedom fighters, resources of the earth and the grassland of home. Social meanings * Because clothing has strong social meanings, people have to choose what to wear 3 . * Women in Ghana even wear different waistbands according to how important the event is. Everyday life * Because the temperature 4 greatly, clothes are usually loose and comfortable. * Though Western clothes are 5 with young people in some areas, traditional clothes are still of great value. Passage 13 On Jan. 22, 2021, China started a new high-speed railway route(路线) service that connects Beijing with Harbin, the capital of the northeastern province of Heilongjiang. The route is an important part of China’s high-speed railway network(网络), which completes the high-speed rail-way link(连接) between the southern and northern parts of the country. With a designed speed of 350 km per hour, the service is expected to shorten the travel time from Beijing to Harbin to about five hours, around ninety minutes less than the previous(先前的)fastest railway route. In general, Beijing sends about 6 high speed trains (2 G trains and 4 D trains) to Harbin from 06:34 am to 15:15 pm every day. Specifically, D29 is the first train, G381 is the first high speed train with the shortest travel time, and D27 is the last high speed train which arrives at 23:00 pm at night. Therefore, forget the dull(枯燥的)moments above those clouds in the plane, and just prepare to see what it looks like on the way in the four provinces including Hebei, Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang.

As a result, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know who wins the vote in another country. An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a TV set. When an earthquake or a flood happens in some places, news of these disasters can bring help from distant countries within hours. Help is on the way. Modern technology like the satellites(人造卫星）makes information travel fast. How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller. Of course this does not mean that the world is really becoming smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two centuries ago, communication between two countries took a long time. In the 17th and 18th centuries, it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach America. This time difference influenced people’s actions. For example, a fight, or a war in 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided(避免). A peace agreement had already been signed(签署）. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious War of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after the peace agreement had been signed. In the past, communication took much more time than it does now. With the help of modern technology, it’s much easier to get more information within a short time. Our lives are becoming faster and faster. Title: The World Is Getting Smaller Themes ＊Communication between people or countries is becoming much easier 1 of television, telephone, radio and the Internet. ＊ Ideas and news of events spread quickly spread around the world. Examples at 2 ＊ People can know the results of a vote that is being held in another country within seconds. ＊An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a TV set. ＊People from distant countries offer their 3 within hours when the news of a disaster like an earthquake or a flood comes. ＊ Thanks to modern technology,information goes faster now. Examples in the past Two 4 years ago,communication between the two countries took a long time. The news of peace agreement signed in England took six weeks to reach America. Conclusion （结论） Now communication takes 5 time than it did in the past. So it’s much easier to communicate with others. Passage 15 I live with my grandmother in a Beijing yard house. One day last year, I was surprised to see a big foreigner walking out of the house next door to ours. He had the height of about 185 cm and looked thin with short brown hair. He also wore a pair of glasses. The first time I saw him, I was too shy to speak to him. “My English is too poor!”I thought. My grandmother told me that he had just moved into our yard. “I don’t like it!” she said. “Foreigners aren’t like us. Maybe he’ll play loud music and hold parties every night! I’m sure he’s going todisturbthe neighbors a lot.” Several days later, I met the foreigner as I was walking home after work.“Hello!” he said in Chinese. “My name’s Tony. I’ve just moved into the house next door to yours.” While I was wondering what to say, he continued, “There’s a nice bar down the road. Why don’t you and your family come and have dinner with me?” “Bars are bad places,” said my grandmother when I told her, but we decided to go. The bar was not at all what I had expected. It was in a beautiful little yard house, with several large bookshelves and pictures of Xizang on the walls.Several Chinese people and foreigners were sitting, drinking or reading books. I noticed that some of the foreigners were speaking Chinese in a low voice to each other!“Oh, what a civilized(文明的) place!” my grandmother said. The bar served special “hutongpizzas”. As we ate, Tony told us about himself—he is an English expert on environment(环境).He always likes to be quiet.We talked a lot and found something in common. My grandmother said to me, “He really seems like a very nice young man.” We had a 1 neighbor last year.

We can look at the traditional clothing to know more about culture. Africa has a long history and a rich culture, and this is shown in traditional dress. The three colours—red, gold and green, are often used in the clothing. The first colour represents the blood of millions of people who fought for freedom; the second, rich resources of the African earth: and the third, the grassland of home. Because clothing has strong social meanings, people are very careful in choosing what to wear. It would be a serious mistake to wear the wrong clothes, or to dress in the wrong way. For example, in Ghana, a woman should wear her waistband（腰带）differently according to the importance of the social event. Traditional dress also tells us about everyday life. African designs ate famous for loose（宽松的）clothing. The temperature there can be very high during the daytime but very low at night, so it requires that the clothes are comfortable for daily life. Today although more and more young people like wearing Western clothes, especially in big cities in Africa, traditional African dress is still quite valuable. This is because it has dep cultural meaning. Traditional dress in Africa Different colours * The three most important colours 1 in clothing are red, gold and green. * Different colours 2 for different things: the blood of freedom fighters, resources of the earth and the grassland of home. Social meanings * Because clothing has strong social meanings, people have to choose what to wear 3 . * Women in Ghana even wear different waistbands according to how important the event is. Everyday life * Because the temperature 4 greatly, clothes are usually loose and comfortable. * Though Western clothes are 5 with young people in some areas, traditional clothes are still of great value. 【答案】1. used 2. stand 3. carefully 4. changes 5. popular 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要说明服饰是一门语言，我们可以通过传统服饰去了解它背后的文化，文章举了非洲的传统服饰为例来说明它的文化价值。 1. 根据第二段“The three colours—red, gold and green, are often used in the clothing.”可知红色、金色、绿色这三种颜色经常用在衣服上。“被使用”可用过去分词used作后置定语修饰The three most important colours。故填used。 2. 根据第二段“The first colour represents the blood of millions of people who fought for freedom; the second, rich resources of the African earth: and the third, the grassland of home.”可知红色代表为自由而战的百万百姓的鲜血；金色代表着非洲大陆上的丰富资源；绿色代表家园的草地。represent“代表”的同义短语为stand for。主语Different colours为复数名词，句子为一般现在时，谓语动词用动词原形。故填stand。 3. 根据第三段“Because clothing has strong social meanings, people are very careful in choosing what to wear.”可知因为服饰有着强烈的社会意义，因此人们在选择穿什么时非常慎重。题干中的choose为动词，因此需要用副词来修饰。“慎重的”careful的副词为carefully。故填carefully。 4. 根据第四段“The temperature there can be very high during the daytime but very low at night, so it requires that the clothes are comfortable for daily life.”可知在非洲，白天的气温会非常高，但夜晚又会很低，因此这就要求服装在日常生活中要以舒适为主。由此可知非洲的昼夜温差很大，温度变化很大。“变化”用动词change，主语the temperature为不可数名词，句子为一般现在时，因此动词change应用其第三人称单数形式changes。故填changes。 5. 根据最后一段“Today although more and more young people like wearing Western clothes, especially in big cities in Africa, traditional African dress is still quite valuable”可知尽管现在越来越多的年轻人喜欢穿西方服饰，尤其是在非洲的大城市里，但是传统的非洲服饰依然很有价值。由此可知西方服饰在一些地区很受年轻人的欢迎。be popular with sb.表示“受某人的欢迎”。故填popular。 Passage 13 On Jan. 22, 2021, China started a new high-speed railway route(路线) service that connects Beijing with Harbin, the capital of the northeastern province of Heilongjiang.

With a designed speed of 350 km per hour, the service is expected to shorten the travel time from Beijing to Harbin to about five hours, around ninety minutes less than the previous(先前的)fastest railway route. In general, Beijing sends about 6 high speed trains (2 G trains and 4 D trains) to Harbin from 06:34 am to 15:15 pm every day. Specifically, D29 is the first train, G381 is the first high speed train with the shortest travel time, and D27 is the last high speed train which arrives at 23:00 pm at night.

As a result, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know who wins the vote in another country. An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a TV set. When an earthquake or a flood happens in some places, news of these disasters can bring help from distant countries within hours. Help is on the way. Modern technology like the satellites(人造卫星）makes information travel fast. How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller. Of course this does not mean that the world is really becoming smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two centuries ago, communication between two countries took a long time. In the 17th and 18th centuries, it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach America. This time difference influenced people’s actions. For example, a fight, or a war in 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided(避免). A peace agreement had already been signed(签署）. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious War of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after the peace agreement had been signed. In the past, communication took much more time than it does now. With the help of modern technology, it’s much easier to get more information within a short time. Our lives are becoming faster and faster. Title: The World Is Getting Smaller Themes ＊Communication between people or countries is becoming much easier 1 of television, telephone, radio and the Internet. ＊ Ideas and news of events spread quickly spread around the world.

Examples in the past Two 4 years ago,communication between the two countries took a long time. The news of peace agreement signed in England took six weeks to reach America. Conclusion （结论） Now communication takes 5 time than it did in the past. So it’s much easier to communicate with others. 【答案】1. because 2. present 3. help 4. hundred 5. less 【分析】由于电视、电话、广播和互联网的普及，人们在短时间内可以轻易地获得更多的信息，我们的生活变得越来越快。文中列举了现代通信给带来的便利。 1. 根据第一段“Now telephone, television, radio and the Internet all help people communicate with each other.

One day last year, I was surprised to see a big foreigner walking out of the house next door to ours. He had the height of about 185 cm and looked thin with short brown hair. He also wore a pair of glasses. The first time I saw him, I was too shy to speak to him. “My English is too poor!”I thought. My grandmother told me that he had just moved into our yard. “I don’t like it!” she said. “Foreigners aren’t like us. Maybe he’ll play loud music and hold parties every night! I’m sure he’s going todisturbthe neighbors a lot.” Several days later, I met the foreigner as I was walking home after work.“Hello!” he said in Chinese. “My name’s Tony. I’ve just moved into the house next door to yours.” While I was wondering what to say, he continued, “There’s a nice bar down the road. Why don’t you and your family come and have dinner with me?” “Bars are bad places,” said my grandmother when I told her, but we decided to go. The bar was not at all what I had expected. It was in a beautiful little yard house, with several large bookshelves and pictures of Xizang on the walls.Several Chinese people and foreigners were sitting, drinking or reading books. I noticed that some of the foreigners were speaking Chinese in a low voice to each other!“Oh, what a civilized(文明的) place!” my grandmother said. The bar served special “hutongpizzas”.
