If you don’t get it, let me explain it to you. The popularity of “City bu city?” has risen on the Internet these days. You can use it to describe whether someone, or something is urban (都市的) and modern or not.

He likes sharing travel experiences in China on Douyin and Xiaohongshu. Ashton became popular after he shared a video of him asking his sister “City bu city?” on the Great Wall.
The word “city” itself has now taken on a new meaning as an adjective (形容词). Ashton himself says that it describes something that happens in the city, but it can also be “something that gives you a great love for life”.
In recent years, a large number of foreign tourists like Ashton have been sharing their experiences of visiting China online. Topics about travelling in China are becoming more and more popular. Now people around the world can learn more about different places of modern China and Chinese way of life. And all of these are shown in a more emotional (感性的), friendly and natural way.

A group of middle-aged dads formed a dance team to perform at their kids' school but unexpectedly gained popularity on social media, having over 300, 000 followers—one of them is famous actor Hugh Jackman. The “Outta” Puff Daddys first came together in 2012 in Brighton for a surprise performance at their children’s annual dance show.
Having never danced as a job before and ranging in age from 42 to 60, the dads were taught by their kids’ street dance teacher for the surprise performance. They received a good reception, so they decided to carry on permanently.
Paul Jukes, 48, said dancing together has enabled the members to get through unemployment and anxiety. “Even though I’m the leader and artistic director of the team, I’m not normally the most confident guy, ” said Jukes, whose team name is Jukebox. “If we’re in a party situation, we’re off at the side, but when we’re together, those inhibitions (拘束感) are lost, and we just accept life to the fullest. ”
The dance team members remember the moment when they surprised their kids at the dance show. “We performed at the Brighton Dome which seats 2,000 people, so for our first live dance performance, it was quite something. We took the roof off, ”Jukes said. The noise was crazy and of course, the kids in the audience were blown away. They were shouting, “Hang on a second, that’s your dad. Most people might think our kids would be embarrassed by us but none of them had that feeling. All our families and kids were really supportive and really loved it And it has been considered cool by them to have such a large following on Instagram.” The team has to adapt to its members’ changing bodies as they get older, but that has not stopped them from continuing to dream big, which sets a good example to their kids.
38. What’s special about the dance team?
A. It helps with school dance instructions. B. Its members are all inexperienced.
C. It regularly posts videos on social media. D. Its members are guided by famous dancers.
39. How has the dance team influenced Paul Jukes?
A. It has inspired him to take up new hobbies. B. It has improved his health and leadership skills.
C. It has helped him build confidence in a tough time. D. It has strengthened his relationship with his family.
40. What did the kids think of their dads’ dance performance
A. They were amazed and proud of their dads. B. They were embarrassed but showed understanding.
C. They considered following Jukebox on social media. D. They joined their dads to complete the performance together.
41. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Dancing is beneficial to people of all ages. B. Talented dads celebrate their kids’ interest.
C. A dance team is winning popularity among adults. D. A dance team consisting of middle-aged dads goes popular.
D
One of the greatest killers in the Western world is heart disease. The death rate from the disease has been increasing at an alarming speed for the past thirty years. Today in Britain, for example, about four hundred people a day die of heart disease. Medical experts know that people can reduce their chances of getting heart disease by exercising regularly, by not smoking, by changing their diets, and by paying more attention to reducing stress in their work.
However, Western health-care systems are still not paying enough attention to the prevention of the disease. There is a need for more programs to educate the public about the causes and prevention of heart disease. Instead of supporting such programs, however, the U.S. health-care system is spending large sums of money on the surgical (外科的) treatment of the disease after it develops. This emphasis (强调) on treatment clearly has something to do with the technological advances that have taken place in the past ten to fifteen years. In this time, modern technology has enabled doctors to develop new surgical techniques. Many operations that were considered impossible or too risky a few years ago are now performed every day in U.S. hospitals. The result has been a huge increase in heart surgery.
Although there is no doubt that heart surgery can help a large number of people, some people point out that the emphasis on the surgical treatment of the disease has three clear disadvantages. First, it attracts interest and money away from the question of prevention. Second, it causes the costs of general hospital care to rise. After hospitals buy the expensive equipment that is necessary for modern heart surgery, they must try to recover the money they have spent. To do this, they raise costs for all their patients, not just those patients whose treatment requires the equipment. The third disadvantage is that doctors are encouraged to perform surgery even on patients for whom an operation is unnecessary—because the equipment and expert skills are there. A government office recently stated that major heart surgery was often performed even though its chances of success were low. In one type of heart surgery, for example, only 15 percent of patients improved their conditions after the surgery. However, more than 100,000 of these operations are performed in the United States every year.
42. What effect has modern technology had on medicine?
A. It has reduced the costs of medical treatment.
B. It hasn’t helped save any patients.
C. It has encouraged doctors to do more heart surgery.
D. It has helped educate people about the prevention of heart disease.
43. What does the underlined word “recover” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Increase. B. Appear. C. Get back. D. Absorb (吸收).
44. The author would agree that ________.
A. more money should be spent on the prevention of heart disease
B. heart surgery has helped most patients improve their conditions
C. modern technology has made heart surgery more risky than before
D. the public have known a great deal about the causes of heart disease
45. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Greatest Killer in the West B. Heart Disease: Treat or Prevent?
C. Old Technology and Heart Surgery D. Heart Surgery: Advantages

It was getting dark and it was snowing heavily when Scrooge moved along the street with the ghost.
When they arrived at a door, they heard a laugh. It was a great surprise to Scrooge to recognize the laugh from his own nephew (侄子) Fred.
They entered. About twenty people sat and talked happily. They couldn’t see Scrooge and the ghost. “Ha, ha, ha!”cried Fred, “My uncle said that Christmas was a trick! And he believed it too”“Shame for him, Fred!” said Mary, Fred’s nice wife, angrily.
“He’s a funny old fellow, ”said Fred, “He’s rich, but his wealth is of no use to him. He doesn’t do any good with it. And I have nothing to say against him. ”
After that, they began to play a game. All the people did it happily, young and old, and so did Scrooge. He was really enjoying himself. He even forgot that they couldn’t see or hear him.
The Ghost was greatly pleased to find Scrooge in this mood, and Scrooge didn’t want to leave.
“Here is another game, ” said Scrooge. “Allow me to stay one half hour, Spirit, only one half hour.”
That was a Game called “Yes and No”—When someone thought of something, the rest must find out what it was by getting the answer “yes”or“no”.
It was Fred’s turn. He laughed and laughed. At last, his wife Mary cried out, “I have found it out! It’s your Uncle Scro-o-o-o-oge!”
“Certainly it is! He has given us plenty of merriment, I am sure, ” said Fred, “Here is a glass of wine ready to our hand now, and I say, Uncle Scrooge”
“Well!Uncle Scrooge!” hey cried.
“A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to the old man, whatever he is!” said Fred.
Uncle Scrooge imperceptibly became so happy and light of heart. If the Ghost had given him time, he would like to say something. But the whole scene passed off in the breath of the last word spoken by his nephew.

【解析】
【详解】句意:警察正在记录这名谋杀邻居的男子的情况。
考查主谓一致和非谓语动词。“The police”作主语,谓语动词用复数形式,根据现在分词“making”可知,时态为现在进行时,空一填be动词are;“the man”和“murder”之间是主动关系,故用现在分词形式作后置定语,表示“这名谋杀邻居的男子”,故空二填murdering。故选B。
11. The old theatre will close soon ____________ some donations are made.

C. it what matter is with D. if what is the matter with
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你想喝点什么?——我想知道这个婴儿怎么了。她哭得很伤心。
固定句型“What is the matter with…?”意为“……怎么了?”,作宾语从句时,what本身就是从句的主语,本身已经是陈述语序,不需要调整语序,因此排除错误调整语序的B选项。C选项结构混乱、成分多余,D选项重复使用引导词if和what,逻辑结构都错误,均可直接排除。
14. I don’t know if my uncle ________ . I will tell him the truth as soon as he ________ tomorrow.
A. will come;comes B. comes;will come C. will come;will come D. comes;comes
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:我不知道我叔叔是否会来。他明天一来我就告诉他真相。
第一句中if意为“是否”,引导宾语从句,“叔叔来”是还未发生的将来动作,所以用一般将来时will come;第二句中as soon as引导时间状语从句,遵循“主将从现”原则,主句是一般将来时,从句用一般现在时表将来,主语he是第三人称单数,谓语动词用comes。
15. —Putting on a happy face not only helps to make friends, but also makes us feel better.
—________.
A. I’d love to B. I’m with you on that C. You are welcome D. It’s my pleasure

【详解】句意:——面带笑容不仅有助于交朋友,还能让我们感觉更好。——我同意你的看法。
I’d love to我很乐意;I’m with you on that我对此表示赞同;You are welcome不客气;It’s my pleasure乐意效劳。上文陈述了一个观点,下文需对此表示态度。B选项表示同意对方观点,符合语境。

【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了作者带智力残疾的弟弟外出吃冰淇淋,因弟弟行为感到羞愧,后受另一对父女启发,明白亲情最重要,不应在意他人眼光。
【16题详解】
句意:我很兴奋。
根据“I loved my younger brother”可知,作者爱弟弟,面对邀请初始反应是积极的。根据语境,excited“兴奋”与后文的担忧形成对比,体现内心冲突。frozen“僵住的”、bored“无聊的”、calm“冷静的”均无法体现这种情感反差。
【17题详解】
句意:然而,这个想法让我感到担忧。
根据前文“I loved my younger brother”和后文“the thought made me feel worried”可知,前后句为转折关系。根据语境,However“然而”表转折,衔接作者对弟弟的爱与内心的担忧。Therefore“因此”表因果、Instead“反而”表替代、Moreover“此外”表递进,均不符合此处逻辑。
【18题详解】
句意:我小时候,常在周末和父母一起去护理中心接他。
根据前文“bring ____ back from his care center”和后文指代的“his care center”可知,此处指代弟弟Rhys,为男性单数。根据语境,him“他”可正确指代Rhys。her“她”、us“我们”、them“他们”均与指代对象不符。
【19题详解】
句意:接了Rhys,坐了一小段车程后,我们到了冰淇淋店。
根据后文“taking the short car trip, we arrived at the ice cream store”可知,此处为接弟弟前往目的地的动作。根据语境,picking up“接载”符合从护理中心接弟弟去冰淇淋店的动作逻辑。waking up“叫醒”、putting up“张贴/搭建”、taking up“开始从事”均不符合语境。
【20题详解】
句意:爸爸点餐时,我照顾Rhys。
根据前文“we arrived at the ice cream store”可知,场景为冰淇淋店。根据语境,ordered“点餐”符合“爸爸点餐,我照顾弟弟”的场景。made“制作”、produced“生产”、prepared“准备”均不符合餐厅点餐的场景。
【21题详解】
句意:他伸出手时,碰到了一位路过的女士。
根据前文“He touched a woman who was passing”可知,此处为描述路人经过的动作。根据语境,passing by意为“经过”,符合语境。passing up“放弃”、passing over“忽略”、passing along“传递”均不符合语境。
【22题详解】
句意:我立刻说:“对不起”,感到很羞愧。
根据前文“He touched a woman who was passing by”和后文“feeling shameful”可知,弟弟不小心碰到路人,作者感到羞愧并道歉。根据语境,sorry“对不起”符合向路人道歉的语境。please“请”、thank you“谢谢”、excuse me“打扰一下”均无法体现因弟弟行为向路人道歉的羞愧感。
【23题详解】
句意:爸爸似乎明白我在想什么,但他什么也没说,让我自己待着。
根据前文“Dad seemed to understand ____ I thought”可知,此处为宾语从句,从句中缺少thought的宾语。根据语境,what“什么”可引导宾语从句并在从句中作宾语,意为“我在想什么”。how “如何”、where“哪里”、why“为什么”均无法在从句中作宾语。
【24题详解】
句意:然而,就在这时,我看见一对父女朝冰淇淋店走来。
根据后文“the father and daughter walking towards the ice cream store”可知,此处为父女中的父亲。根据语境,father“父亲”与后文的“father and daughter”呼应。mother“母亲”、son“儿子”、aunt“阿姨”均与后文的父女设定不符。
【25题详解】
句意:女孩的动作看起来很相似。
根据后文“She was also making repetitive movements and looked excited, just as Rhys does”可知,女孩的动作和Rhys的表现有共同点。根据语境,similar“相似的”体现女孩和Rhys动作的共同点。different“不同的”、opposite“相反的”、funny“有趣的”均无法体现动作的相似性。
【26题详解】
句意:我意识到,我不是唯一一个带着有特殊需求的家人出门的人。
根据后文“out in public with a family member with special needs”可知,此处描述的是“带特殊需求家人出门”的处境。根据语境,situation“情境”指作者面临的处境。action“行动”、spirit“精神”、failure“失败”均不符合语境。
【27题详解】
句意:看着这对父女惬意地享受时光,丝毫不在意旁人的看法,我露出了微笑。
根据前文“just enjoying their day”和后文“what others thought”可知,父女俩不在意他人的眼光。根据语境,paying no attention意为“不在意”,符合语境。any“任何”、much“很多”、some“一些”均不符合此处搭配的语义。
【28题详解】
句意:我忽然意识到,我不该因为旁人对Rhys的看法而虚度我们共处的时光。
根据前文“They looked like any other family out for a treat. It hit me that I shouldn’t let what other people think about Rhys ____ our time”可知,作者意识到不应因他人看法影响和弟弟的相处时光。根据语境,waste“浪费”符合“不应让他人看法浪费相处时间”的语义。save“节省”、manage“管理”、value“重视”均不符合语境。
【29题详解】
句意:无论何时去看他,我都能看到我们俩的变化,比如他新长出来的小胡子,还有我步入大学后也变得越来越独立。
根据后文“like his new little mustache or how I'm becoming more independent as I go to college”可知,此处描述的是作者和弟弟身上发生的变化。根据语境,changes“变化”符合后文列举的具体变化内容。difficulties“困难”、challenges“挑战”、advantages“优势”均不符合语境。
【30题详解】
句意:Rhys永远是我的弟弟,我们是一家人。
根据后文“we are family. There is no shame in that.”可知,作者强调和弟弟的关系是永恒的。根据语境,always“总是,永远”体现兄弟关系的不变性。almost“几乎”、sometimes“有时”、nearly“差不多”均无法体现这种永恒的关系。

Drinking a cup of milk tea with friends? That’s “city”. Visiting the Great Wall of China? Very “city”. Riding a bike down Shanghai’s Anfu Road? Quite “city”.
If you don’t get it, let me explain it to you. The popularity of “City bu city?” has risen on the Internet these days. You can use it to describe whether someone, or something is urban (都市的) and modern or not.
“City bu city?” was first used by American blogger Paul Mike Ashton. He has lived in Shanghai with his sister for years. His name on the Internet is “Bao Bao Xiong”. He likes sharing travel experiences in China on Douyin and Xiaohongshu. Ashton became popular after he shared a video of him asking his sister “City bu city?” on the Great Wall.
The word “city” itself has now taken on a new meaning as an adjective (形容词). Ashton himself says that it describes something that happens in the city, but it can also be “something that gives you a great love for life”.
In recent years, a large number of foreign tourists like Ashton have been sharing their experiences of visiting China online. Topics about travelling in China are becoming more and more popular. Now people around the world can learn more about different places of modern China and Chinese way of life. And all of these are shown in a more emotional (感性的), friendly and natural way.

根据文章第三段第一句“‘City bu city?’ was first used by American blogger Paul Mike Ashton.”可知,首创者是Paul Mike Ashton。
【35题详解】
根据文章第二段“You can use it to describe whether someone, or something is urban (都市的) and modern or not.”以及第三段提到的“something that gives you a great love for life”可知,“city”形容都市化、现代化或热爱生活的美好事物。选项C与定义无关。

A group of middle-aged dads formed a dance team to perform at their kids' school but unexpectedly gained popularity on social media, having over 300, 000 followers—one of them is famous actor Hugh Jackman. The “Outta” Puff Daddys first came together in 2012 in Brighton for a surprise performance at their children’s annual dance show.
Having never danced as a job before and ranging in age from 42 to 60, the dads were taught by their kids’ street dance teacher for the surprise performance. They received a good reception, so they decided to carry on permanently.
Paul Jukes, 48, said dancing together has enabled the members to get through unemployment and anxiety. “Even though I’m the leader and artistic director of the team, I’m not normally the most confident guy, ” said Jukes, whose team name is Jukebox. “If we’re in a party situation, we’re off at the side, but when we’re together, those inhibitions (拘束感) are lost, and we just accept life to the fullest. ”
The dance team members remember the moment when they surprised their kids at the dance show. “We performed at the Brighton Dome which seats 2,000 people, so for our first live dance performance, it was quite something. We took the roof off, ”Jukes said. The noise was crazy and of course, the kids in the audience were blown away. They were shouting, “Hang on a second, that’s your dad. Most people might think our kids would be embarrassed by us but none of them had that feeling. All our families and kids were really supportive and really loved it And it has been considered cool by them to have such a large following on Instagram.” The team has to adapt to its members’ changing bodies as they get older, but that has not stopped them from continuing to dream big, which sets a good example to their kids.
38. What’s special about the dance team?
A. It helps with school dance instructions. B. Its members are all inexperienced.
C. It regularly posts videos on social media. D. Its members are guided by famous dancers.
39. How has the dance team influenced Paul Jukes?
A. It has inspired him to take up new hobbies. B. It has improved his health and leadership skills.
C. It has helped him build confidence in a tough time. D. It has strengthened his relationship with his family.
40. What did the kids think of their dads’ dance performance
A. They were amazed and proud of their dads. B. They were embarrassed but showed understanding.
C. They considered following Jukebox on social media. D. They joined their dads to complete the performance together.
41. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Dancing is beneficial to people of all ages. B. Talented dads celebrate their kids’ interest.
C. A dance team is winning popularity among adults. D. A dance team consisting of middle-aged dads goes popular.
【答案】38. B 39. C 40. A 41. D

【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了一支由中年父亲组成的舞蹈队,为给孩子惊喜而表演,意外走红社交媒体并坚持下来的故事,展现了舞蹈对成员的积极影响。

【40题详解】
根据第四段中“kids in the audience were blown away(孩子们被震撼到了)”以及“none of them had that feeling ... considered cool(没有人感到尴尬……认为这很酷)”,可知孩子们对表演感到惊讶且为父亲感到骄傲。
【41题详解】
文章第一段开篇点明主题“A group of middle-aged dads formed a dance team... unexpectedly gained popularity(一群中年爸爸组建舞蹈队意外走红)”,后续段落均围绕此展开叙述,对应D选项。

One of the greatest killers in the Western world is heart disease. The death rate from the disease has been increasing at an alarming speed for the past thirty years. Today in Britain, for example, about four hundred people a day die of heart disease. Medical experts know that people can reduce their chances of getting heart disease by exercising regularly, by not smoking, by changing their diets, and by paying more attention to reducing stress in their work.
However, Western health-care systems are still not paying enough attention to the prevention of the disease. There is a need for more programs to educate the public about the causes and prevention of heart disease. Instead of supporting such programs, however, the U.S. health-care system is spending large sums of money on the surgical (外科的) treatment of the disease after it develops. This emphasis (强调) on treatment clearly has something to do with the technological advances that have taken place in the past ten to fifteen years. In this time, modern technology has enabled doctors to develop new surgical techniques. Many operations that were considered impossible or too risky a few years ago are now performed every day in U.S. hospitals. The result has been a huge increase in heart surgery.
Although there is no doubt that heart surgery can help a large number of people, some people point out that the emphasis on the surgical treatment of the disease has three clear disadvantages. First, it attracts interest and money away from the question of prevention. Second, it causes the costs of general hospital care to rise. After hospitals buy the expensive equipment that is necessary for modern heart surgery, they must try to recover the money they have spent. To do this, they raise costs for all their patients, not just those patients whose treatment requires the equipment. The third disadvantage is that doctors are encouraged to perform surgery even on patients for whom an operation is unnecessary—because the equipment and expert skills are there. A government office recently stated that major heart surgery was often performed even though its chances of success were low. In one type of heart surgery, for example, only 15 percent of patients improved their conditions after the surgery. However, more than 100,000 of these operations are performed in the United States every year.
42. What effect has modern technology had on medicine?
A. It has reduced the costs of medical treatment.
B. It hasn’t helped save any patients.
C. It has encouraged doctors to do more heart surgery.
D. It has helped educate people about the prevention of heart disease.
43. What does the underlined word “recover” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Increase. B. Appear. C. Get back. D. Absorb (吸收).
44. The author would agree that ________.
A. more money should be spent on the prevention of heart disease
B. heart surgery has helped most patients improve their conditions
C. modern technology has made heart surgery more risky than before
D. the public have known a great deal about the causes of heart disease
45. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Greatest Killer in the West B. Heart Disease: Treat or Prevent?
C. Old Technology and Heart Surgery D. Heart Surgery: Advantages
【答案】42. C 43. C 44. A 45. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,讨论了西方世界心脏病死亡率居高不下的问题,指出医疗系统过于侧重外科治疗而忽视预防,并分析了这一倾向带来的三个弊端。
【42题详解】
第二段明确指出:“modern technology has enabled doctors to develop new surgical techniques...The result has been a huge increase in heart surgery.”说明现代技术使医生能够进行更多心脏手术。
【43题详解】
第三段指出:“After hospitals buy the expensive equipment... they must try to recover the money they have spent.”医院购买昂贵设备后需要“收回”成本,因此“recover”意为“get back”(收回)。
【44题详解】
第二段“Western health-care systems are still not paying enough attention to the prevention of the disease”以及第三段指出手术治疗转移了预防的注意力和资金,可知作者赞同应更多地投资于心脏病的预防。
【45题详解】
全文围绕心脏病是应该治疗还是预防展开讨论,指出当前过度侧重治疗而忽视预防的问题,因此最佳标题为“心脏病:治疗还是预防?”。
五、词汇运用(共10小题;每小题1分, 计10分)(每空一词)
46. A good TV ________ (view) habit is very important.
【答案】viewing
【解析】
【详解】句意:良好的电视观看习惯非常重要。句中需要修饰名词habit,应使用view的动名词形式作定语,在动词view后直接加-ing构成现在分词viewing,作定语修饰habit,故填viewing。
47. This ________ (attract) book is an ideal gift for any teenagers.
【答案】attractive
【解析】
【详解】句意:这本吸引人的书是送给任何青少年的理想礼物。此处用形容词修饰名词book,attractive意为“吸引人的”,形容词作定语。故填attractive。
48. This book is valuable, and you’d better consider ________ (buy) one for yourself.
【答案】buying
【解析】
【详解】句意:这本书很有价值,你最好考虑为自己买一本。动词consider后面需要接动名词作宾语,构成consider doing sth.的固定搭配,表示“考虑做某事”,因此buy需要变为动名词形式buying,符合语境。
49. I have ________ (mistake) Lucy for Lily many times, for they look so alike.
【答案】mistaken
【解析】
【详解】句意:我已经把Lucy错认成Lily许多次了,因为她们看起来如此地像。根据“many times”可知,句子应用现在完成时,空处应用mistake的过去分词mistaken,与空前的have构成现在完成时的谓语结构。故填mistaken。
50. There ________ (be) more than one person who had something to do with the hair-raising murder.
【答案】was
【解析】
【详解】句意:有不止一个人与这起骇人听闻的谋杀案有关。本句为there be句型,be动词与主语保持主谓一致。 主语是more than one person,形式上为单数,谓语动词通常用单数。由后面的定语从句“who had something to do... ”的时态,可知主句时态应为一般过去时,应填was。
51. I can’t find my wallet anywhere. Perhaps someone on the bus has ________ (steal) it.
【答案】stolen
【解析】
【详解】句意:我怎么找都找不到钱包,也许是在公交车上被偷了。时态为现在完成时,表示过去的事情对现在造成了影响,要用steal的过去分词,故填stolen。
52. When you meet a friend, you should make ________ (努力) to be on time.
【答案】efforts
【解析】
【详解】句意:当你和朋友见面时,你应该努力准时。根据汉语提示可知,固定搭配“make efforts to do sth.”表示“努力做某事”,其中“efforts”为名词复数形式,故填efforts。
53. The man hopes to provide a more comfortable and ________ life for his son.(财富)
【答案】wealthier
【解析】
【详解】句意:他希望给儿子提供更舒适、更富裕的生活。wealth“财富”,是名词。根据“a more comfortable and...life ”可知,空处应填形容词的比较级。wealthy“富裕的”比较级为wealthier。故填wealthier。
54. By the 1990s, the computer ________ (产业) was developing very quickly.
【答案】industry
【解析】
【详解】句意:到20世纪90年代,计算机行业发展非常迅速。产业“industry”,此时作不可数名词,故填industry。
55. Last week, a policeman was invited to give us some ________ (安全) tips.
【答案】safety
【解析】
【详解】句意:上周,一位警察被邀请给我们一些安全提示。safety tip“安全提示”。故填safety。

When they arrived at a door, they heard a laugh. It was a great surprise to Scrooge to recognize the laugh from his own nephew (侄子) Fred.
They entered. About twenty people sat and talked happily. They couldn’t see Scrooge and the ghost. “Ha, ha, ha!”cried Fred, “My uncle said that Christmas was a trick! And he believed it too”“Shame for him, Fred!” said Mary, Fred’s nice wife, angrily.
“He’s a funny old fellow, ”said Fred, “He’s rich, but his wealth is of no use to him. He doesn’t do any good with it. And I have nothing to say against him. ”
After that, they began to play a game. All the people did it happily, young and old, and so did Scrooge. He was really enjoying himself. He even forgot that they couldn’t see or hear him.
The Ghost was greatly pleased to find Scrooge in this mood, and Scrooge didn’t want to leave.
“Here is another game, ” said Scrooge. “Allow me to stay one half hour, Spirit, only one half hour.”
That was a Game called “Yes and No”—When someone thought of something, the rest must find out what it was by getting the answer “yes”or“no”.
It was Fred’s turn. He laughed and laughed. At last, his wife Mary cried out, “I have found it out! It’s your Uncle Scro-o-o-o-oge!”
“Certainly it is! He has given us plenty of merriment, I am sure, ” said Fred, “Here is a glass of wine ready to our hand now, and I say, Uncle Scrooge”
“Well!Uncle Scrooge!” hey cried.
“A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to the old man, whatever he is!” said Fred.
Uncle Scrooge imperceptibly became so happy and light of heart. If the Ghost had given him time, he would like to say something. But the whole scene passed off in the breath of the last word spoken by his nephew.

【62题详解】
句意:他们面临许多挑战,却懂得了真爱的意义。此处为名词作宾语。由下文转折“懂得真爱意义”,此处应是面对困难或者挑战。由首字母c可确定单词为challenge,为可数名词。many后接可数名词复数,故填challenges。
【63题详解】
句意:许多外国艺术家把文学作品与芭蕾成功地融合在一起。此处需要副词修饰谓语动词mixed。根据句意此处应是积极意义的词。首字母s提示应填successfully。
【64题详解】
句意:作为中国舞者,我想把中国传统戏曲与西方芭蕾结合,让更多年轻人喜爱中国文化。help sb. do sth.意为“帮助某人做某事”,所以此处需要动词原形。作者把戏曲和芭蕾结合一起的目的是让更多年轻人喜欢。由首字e提示,应填enjoy。
【65题详解】

【68题详解】
句意:经典芭蕾常把女性舞者塑造为美丽、天鹅般优雅的形象。此处需要形容词与swan-like并列,修饰figures。由首字母p可知,应填pretty。
【69题详解】
句意:但是在《玉簪记》里,陈妙常被塑造为明媚灵动的少女。前文是“swan-like figures”,后文是“a bright, lively girl”,两者之间存在转折关系,应用转折连接词。位于句首,且首字母为B,故填But。
【70题详解】
句意:昆曲与芭蕾融合之美,不只在于创造新事物,更在于讲述底蕴深厚的历史故事。由“in”和“something”可知,此处应用动名词形式,作宾语。根据前文关于昆曲和芭蕾的结合,以及后文提到的“new”,可知此处表达的是“创造,制造”的意思,首字母c提示填creating。
