It was a beautiful day with a clear, blue sky and the cool wind made my morning tea cool. Everything was quiet and the book in my hands was lovely until I felt my chair moving. At that moment, I thought to myself, “It is an earthquake.” I was scared as I ran to tell my parents. But when I reached them, the earthquake stopped.
▲ My family and I were not in danger and our house was still standing. We watched the news about the earthquake. The epicenter (震中) was very close to Muzaffarabad. We felt lucky to be in the region of Kashmir. After we knew the situation in Muzaffarabad, I decided to volunteer to help those people right away.
I arrived in the city of Muzaffarabad with a few other volunteers. We tried to help out the people there. After hours of digging, we found a few survivors (幸存者). We quickly sent for doctors to make sure they were all right. When they met their families, they cried for joy. That made me very happy. However, not everyone had a happy ending.

Jiuzhaigou, located in Sichuan Province, is one of the most beautiful natural places in China. It became a World Natural Heritage Site (世界自然遗产地) in 1992, famous for its colourful lakes, waterfalls and snow-capped mountains.
The name “Jiuzhaigou” means “the valley (山谷) of nine Tibetan villages”. The most amazing part is its lakes. The water has different colours—blue, green, turquoise (青绿色) and even red. The colours change with the light and season, making the lakes look like beautiful gemstones (宝石). This is because of special minerals and algae in the lake bed.
Jiuzhaigou has more than 100 lakes and a lot of waterfalls. The Nuorilang Waterfall is the most famous one. When water falls down from the cliff, it makes a loud sound, and the spray (水花) flies everywhere. Standing in front of it, you will feel the power of nature.
Besides lakes and waterfalls, Jiuzhaigou also has beautiful forests and snow-capped mountains. The forest is home to many rare animals and plants. They are not easy to find in other places. The snow-capped mountains make the whole valley look more beautiful.
Jiuzhaigou is a place of natural beauty, a gift from nature to humans. However, it was once damaged by an earthquake (地震) in 2017. After years of care and protection, most of the areas are open to people again. We should value this beautiful place and protect it well, so that it can always keep its beauty.

【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了中国的待客之道,包括主人如何招待客人、餐桌礼仪以及热情好客作为中国文化传统的重要组成部分。
【21题详解】
句意:中国人是世界上最好客的人之一。
固定搭配in the world意为“在世界上”,符合句意,应用in。
【22题详解】
句意:如果外国人拜访一个中国家庭,他们会对受到的热情款待感到惊讶。
结合后文提到和西方餐桌习惯的差异,这里指“外国人拜访中国家庭”,foreigners符合语境;customers顾客、historians历史学家、reporters记者,都不符合文意。
【23题详解】
句意:如果外国人拜访一个中国家庭,他们会对受到的热情款待感到惊讶。
固定搭配be surprised at表示“对……感到惊讶”,外国客人会对中国的热情招待感到惊讶,符合文意,应用surprised。
【24题详解】
句意:当你拜访一个中国家庭时,主人通常会为你泡茶,并为你提供像饼干或糖果这样的小吃。
主人泡茶后,会用小吃招待客人,serve表示“招待,端上(食物)”,符合语境。puts放、packs打包、steals偷,都不符合逻辑。
【25题详解】
句意:家里的某个人也会和你聊天,让你不觉得孤单。
有人陪客人聊天,是为了不让客人觉得孤单,lonely(孤单的)符合逻辑。excited兴奋的、happy高兴的、angry生气的,都不符合逻辑。
【26题详解】
句意:同时,其他家庭成员会忙着为你准备一顿饭。
根据“a meal for you”及常识,客人来访需“准备”饭菜。prepare a meal为常用搭配,应用preparing。playing玩、giving给、buying买,不符合语境。
【27题详解】
句意:中国人用一顿大餐招待客人。
前文提到准备饭菜,这里是“中国人用大餐招待客人”,a big meal(大餐)符合文意,应用meal。gift礼物、trip旅行、talk谈话,不符合语境。
【28题详解】
句意:在桌子上,客人必须先吃。
中国餐桌礼仪中,客人是第一个动筷吃饭的,first(第一)符合礼仪习惯。
【29题详解】
句意:也许最让西方客人惊讶的一件事是,中国主人喜欢为客人夹菜。
根据后半句“which doesn’t happen at western tables”可知,此处指“西方”客人,应用western。eastern东方的、southern南方的、northern北方的,与后文矛盾。
【30题详解】
句意:中国家庭会尽一切努力让你感觉宾至如归。
固定搭配make sb feel at home表示“让某人感觉像在家一样自在”,符合中国人好客的特点,应用make。
【31题详解】
句意:请多吃点。
根据“It seems that you didn’t eat much”可知,主人劝客人吃“更多”。food为不可数名词,用more。
【32题详解】
句意:你告诉他们你吃饱了,但他们还是往你碗里放更多的食物。
根据“you are full”和“still put more food”可知,前后为转折关系,应用but。although虽然、because因为、so所以,逻辑不通。
【33题详解】
句意:热情好客一直是中国文化和传统的重要组成部分。
固定搭配part of意为“……的一部分”,此处表示热情好客是中国文化传统的重要组成部分。character性格、life生活、food食物,不符合搭配习惯。
【34题详解】
句意:正如孔子几千年前所说。
孔子是几千年前的人物,thousands of years ago表示“几千年以前”,符合常识,应用years。days天、months月、seasons季节,时间跨度不符。
【35题详解】
句意:有朋自远方来,不亦乐乎!
这句话是“有朋自远方来,不亦乐乎”,enjoyable表示“令人愉快的”,符合句意。sad伤心的、afraid害怕的、scared惊恐的,情感色彩相反。
四、语篇填空(共两节,15小题,每小题1分,共15分)
阅读短文,从方框中选择适当的词并用其适当形式填空,使短文通顺,意思完整。
if, correct, difference, give, receive, polite, marry, wonder, congratulate, occasion

Both cultures have many____36____ for giving gifts, such as Christmas and the Chinese Spring Festival. Chinese people take gift-giving very seriously—especially for big events like getting ____37____ or having a baby. At these times, they will carefully prepare gifts to ____38____ others. But in Western cultures, gift-giving is usually just a way to show care and love.
The ways of ____39____ gifts are different too. In the West, ____40____you get a gift, you should say thanks. But in China, when someone ____41____ you a gift, you need to refuse first. If he or she sticks to giving the gift to you, you can finally take it.
These cultural ____42____often cause misunderstandings. Westerners might ____43____ if someone doesn’t like their gift when someone turns them down. Chinese people may think it’s ____44____ to accept the gift directly. When you understand these differences_____45_____, you can avoid mistakes. This is important.
【答案】36. occasions
37. married
38. congratulate
39. receiving
40. if 41. gives
42. differences

【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了中西方文化中送礼艺术的差异,包括送礼的场合、收礼的方式以及可能由此引发的误解,强调了理解这些文化差异的重要性。
【36题详解】
句意:两种文化都有许多送礼的场合,例如圣诞节和中国春节。后文列举了“Christmas”和“Chinese Spring Festival”,这些都是送礼的“场合、时机”,此处需要名词作宾语,方框中“occasion”意为“场合”,前面有“many”修饰,需用复数形式“occasions”。
【37题详解】
句意:中国人非常重视送礼——尤其是在结婚或生孩子这样的大事上。前文提到“big events like”,后文“or having a baby”为并列结构,此处需要表示“结婚”这一人生大事,“get married”为固定短语,意为“结婚”,方框中“marry”需用过去分词形式“married”。
【38题详解】
句意:在这些时候,他们会精心准备礼物来祝贺他人。前文提到送礼的场合是结婚或生孩子,这些场合送礼的目的是向对方表示“祝贺”,此处需要动词不定式表目的,“congratulate”意为“祝贺”,符合语境。
【39题详解】
句意:收礼的方式也不同。本段讨论中西方收礼方式的差异,空后“gifts”为宾语,此处需要动名词短语作主语,表示“收礼”这一行为,方框中“receive”意为“收到”,需用动名词形式“receiving”。
【40题详解】
句意:在西方,如果你收到礼物,你应该说谢谢。后文说“you should say thanks”,这是收到礼物后的反应,此处表示“如果”收到礼物这一条件,if引导条件状语从句,符合语境。
【41题详解】
句意:但在中国,当有人给你礼物时,你需要先拒绝。when引导时间状语从句,描述“有人给你礼物”这一情况,主语“someone”为第三人称单数,方框中“give”意为“给”,需用第三人称单数形式gives。
【42题详解】
句意:这些文化差异常常导致误解。上文通篇讨论中西方送礼文化的不同,此处作主语,表示“差异”,方框中different为形容词,其名词形式为difference,前面有These修饰,需用复数形式differences。
【43题详解】
句意:当有人拒绝他们的礼物时,西方人可能会感到奇怪。前文提到中国人会先拒绝礼物,这对西方人来说可能难以理解,他们会感到“奇怪、想知道原因”,wonder意为“想知道、感到奇怪”,符合语境。
【44题详解】
句意:中国人可能认为直接接受礼物是不礼貌的。后文提到中国人会先拒绝再接受,说明直接接受被视为“不礼貌的”行为,此处需要形容词作表语,方框中polite意为“礼貌的”,加前缀im-构成反义词impolite,意为“不礼貌的”,符合语境。
【45题详解】
句意:当你正确地理解这些差异时,你就能避免错误。前文提到理解差异可以避免错误,说明需要“正确地”理解,此处需要副词修饰动词“understand”,方框中correct为形容词,其副词形式为correctly,意为“正确地”,符合语境。
阅读短文,根据语篇要求填空,使短文通顺,意思完整。每空限填一词。

【答案】46. As 47. an

50. so
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了台风的形成、特点及其带来的破坏,包括强风摧毁建筑物、掀起车辆船只,以及台风过后可能伴随的强降雨和洪水。
【46题详解】
句意:台风一旦袭来,风速可达每小时250公里甚至更快。as soon as为固定连词短语,意为“一……就……”,引导时间状语从句,表示台风“一”袭击,风就开始高速吹刮。句首单词首字母大写。
【47题详解】
句意:在台风的中心有一个“风眼”。there be句型表示“存在、有”,空后“eye”为可数名词单数,且表示泛指,需要用不定冠词an。
【48题详解】
句意:风不仅能拔起树木,还能掀起汽车和船只并将它们抛向远方。not only...but also...为固定并列连词结构,意为“不仅……而且……”,此处连接两个谓语动词短语。
【49题详解】
句意:台风过后通常会有很多降雨。there be句型表示“存在、有”,主语a lot of rain为不可数名词,be动词用is,描述一般情况用一般现在时。
【50题详解】
句意:有时雨太大了,人们无法出门。so...that...为固定句式结构,意为“如此……以至于……”,so修饰形容词heavy,that引导结果状语从句。
五、补全对话(共5小题,每小题2分,计10分)

【52题详解】
根据答语“I was having a PE class outside.”(那时我正在外面上体育课)可知,此处是A询问B当时正在做的事,时态应是过去进行时,即询问“What were you doing at that time?”。
【53题详解】
根据A的答语“I was making my way to...”(那时我正赶往……)可知,此处是B反过来询问A当时的活动或去向,既可以用“What about you?”来简洁询问,也可以用“What were you doing at that time?”来具体询问。
【54题详解】
根据问句“How did you get there?”(你怎么去那里的?)可知,此处需回答交通方式。结合语境,下暴雨可能交通不便,应该是使用了路面交通方式,如公交车、私家车等。可回答“By bus./I went there by bus.”。
【55题详解】

It was a beautiful day with a clear, blue sky and the cool wind made my morning tea cool. Everything was quiet and the book in my hands was lovely until I felt my chair moving. At that moment, I thought to myself, “It is an earthquake.” I was scared as I ran to tell my parents. But when I reached them, the earthquake stopped.
▲ My family and I were not in danger and our house was still standing. We watched the news about the earthquake. The epicenter (震中) was very close to Muzaffarabad. We felt lucky to be in the region of Kashmir. After we knew the situation in Muzaffarabad, I decided to volunteer to help those people right away.

We quickly sent for doctors to make sure they were all right. When they met their families, they cried for joy. That made me very happy. However, not everyone had a happy ending. We also found bodies of those not making it through the earthquake. And I felt terrible when I saw the tears of the people crying for those dead people.

Jiuzhaigou, located in Sichuan Province, is one of the most beautiful natural places in China. It became a World Natural Heritage Site (世界自然遗产地) in 1992, famous for its colourful lakes, waterfalls and snow-capped mountains.
The name “Jiuzhaigou” means “the valley (山谷) of nine Tibetan villages”. The most amazing part is its lakes. The water has different colours—blue, green, turquoise (青绿色) and even red. The colours change with the light and season, making the lakes look like beautiful gemstones (宝石). This is because of special minerals and algae in the lake bed.
Jiuzhaigou has more than 100 lakes and a lot of waterfalls. The Nuorilang Waterfall is the most famous one. When water falls down from the cliff, it makes a loud sound, and the spray (水花) flies everywhere. Standing in front of it, you will feel the power of nature.
Besides lakes and waterfalls, Jiuzhaigou also has beautiful forests and snow-capped mountains. The forest is home to many rare animals and plants. They are not easy to find in other places. The snow-capped mountains make the whole valley look more beautiful.
Jiuzhaigou is a place of natural beauty, a gift from nature to humans. However, it was once damaged by an earthquake (地震) in 2017. After years of care and protection, most of the areas are open to people again. We should value this beautiful place and protect it well, so that it can always keep its beauty.

A. A valley with nine lakes.
B. A valley of nine Tibetan villages.
C. A place with colourful lakes.
D. A natural heritage site.
12. What do you know about Jiuzhaigou as a World Natural Heritage Site?
A. It got the title soon after the 2017 earthquake.
B. It became this heritage site more than 30 years ago.
C. It got the title mainly because of its waterfalls.
D. It lost this title for some time after the earthquake.

A. unusual B. common C. modern D. familiar
14. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The lakes in Jiuzhaigou have the same colour all year round.
B. Nuorilang Waterfall is the most famous waterfall in Jiuzhaigou.
C. Jiuzhaigou has fewer than 100 lakes in total.
