【解析】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述作者回到家乡,看到村庄面貌和人们生活方式的巨大变化,但村民们温暖互助的精神始终未变。
1.句意:去年夏天我回到家乡时,几乎认不出它了。
十年前是安静村庄,现在变成现代城镇,变化大到认不出。remember“记得”不强调辨认,describe“描述”和imagine“想象”与看到实物不符,只有recognize表示认出。
2.句意:这些变化如此惊人,我觉得自己仿佛置身于另一个世界。
后文说“different world”说明变化程度很大,amazing“令人惊奇的”符合。slight“轻微的”和slow“缓慢的”与巨大反差矛盾,boring“无聊的”与语境无关。
3.句意:最引人注目的变化是环境。
下文详细描写河流从脏到清,这种变化肉眼可见,noticeable“显而易见的”最贴切。difficult“困难的”和terrible“可怕的”不修饰变化本身,common“普通的”与“最”不搭配。
4.句意:过去,一条小河穿过村子,但河里堆满了垃圾,发出难闻的气味。
be filled with“装满”是固定搭配,垃圾填满河流。covered“覆盖”需接“with”但强调表面覆盖,与“垃圾”在河里不符;compared“比较”和provided“提供”逻辑不通。
5.句意:人们过去夏天习惯关窗。
used to do表示过去常常做某事,符合“过去”的时间状语。wanted“想要”和decided“决定”需接不定式,但这里强调习惯性动作;began“开始”则与“close”搭配后缺少持续含义。
6.句意:现在,河水又清澈了,鸟儿也回来了。
前文说清理河流、种树,结果水变清,clear“清澈的”与“birds returned”呼应。dirty“脏的”和dry“干的”与改善相悖,salty“咸的”不符合河流特征。
7.句意:它已成为人们晚上散步的热门去处。
人们晚上去散步,说明那里受欢迎,popular“受欢迎的”正确。terrible“糟糕的”和dangerous“危险的”使人不愿去,private“私密的”与“人们”一起矛盾。
8.句意:另一个巨大变化是人们的生活方式。
下文提到村民从农民变成做生意、开旅馆、网上销售,这些是lifestyle“生活方式”的改变。appearance“外表”与经商无关,education和language文中未提及。
9.句意:有些人开小旅馆为游客服务。
服务游客的场所应是旅馆,hotels“旅馆”符合。factories“工厂”和farms“农场”不直接服务游客,schools“学校”与商业无关。
10.句意:另一些人则通过互联网轻松地销售本地产品。
互联网使销售变得便捷,easily“容易地”体现便利。rarely“很少”和hardly“几乎不”是否定,secretly“秘密地”不符合网上公开销售。
11.句意:有了新公路和高铁,货物几小时内就能到达城市。
高铁速度快,所以用hours“小时”表示短时间。days“天”、weeks“周”、months“月”都太慢,与“新交通”优势不符。
12.句意:人们的生活变得富裕多了。
从做生意、旅游服务等看出收入增加,richer“更富裕”符合。harder“更艰难”和poorer“更贫穷”与改善相反,quieter“更安静”未体现经济变化。
13.句意:尽管有这些变化,村庄的精神依然保留。
后文说邻居仍互助、节日喜庆,说明精神没变,remains“保持”正确。disappears“消失”和changes“改变”与事实相反,grows“生长”不搭配“spirit”。
14.句意:我意识到,一个地方的外表可以改变,但它温暖的内核始终如一。
前文描述建筑物、道路等外表变化,appearance“外观”对应。population“人口”、weather“天气”、name“名字”均非前文讨论的内容。
15.句意:但它温暖的内核始终如一。
邻居互助、节日喜庆体现人心温暖,warm“温暖的”符合。cold“冷漠的”与后文矛盾,weak“弱的”和small“小的”不修饰“heart”的内涵。

Dear Lillie,
How are you? I am happy to be back home, but my hometown is a little different now. I am really upset about one change. We are going to have a big shopping mall in my beautiful neighbourhood! I can’t believe it!
My neighbourhood is near a school. It is very quiet and convenient here. There are many family-owned stores on the main street—a flower shop, two clothing stores, a bakery and a vegetable shop. I hope we don’t lose these small stores because of the shopping mall. I don’t want my neighbourhood to change any more.
I hope you are OK. Can you visit me soon?
Love,
Yiming
Dear Yiming,
I’m fine. I miss you, too.
There are a lot of changes here in my town, too. There are two busy streets near my house, Main street and Queens Road. When I was young, there wasn’t much noise here, but today there are more people and cars.
There is another big change. There are two restaurants near my house! Two! Three years ago there was only one small café. I ate breakfast there every morning. But it’s gone! There is a fast food shop there now.
Luckily, one thing did not change. The Air Theatre is still on the corner of Main Street and Queens Road. It is one of my favourite places.
I hope to visit you soon.
Yours,
Lillie

But now, everything has changed. Our village has been rebuilt. We live in bright and comfortable brick houses. The government built a new modern school for us. It has bright classrooms, new desks, a library and a computer room. We have enough professional teachers for each subject. Now I only need to ride a bike for ten minutes to get to school.
Besides, we have convenient transportation and fast network. My mother can sell our farm products online. My father no longer works on the farm all day. He finds a job in a nearby factory. Our life becomes much easier and happier than before.

【解析】本文讲述作者离开家乡十年后重返故土的见闻,通过对比家乡过去的落后面貌与如今的发展变化,展现了当地居住条件、基础设施与生活水平的全面提升。
36.句意:十年前我离开家乡去一座大城市求学。此处需要一个动词,在句中作谓语,表示“离开”的动作。因为句中“ten years ago”是一般过去时的时间标志,提示动作发生在过去,所以选择leave。leave的过去式为left,故填left。
37.句意:现在当我回来时,我惊讶地发现它已经变化了很多。此处需要一个动词,在句中作宾语从句的谓语,表示“变化”的结果。因为语境体现过去发生的变化对现在造成的影响,需用现在完成时,主语it为第三人称单数,所以选择change。change的现在完成时第三人称单数形式为has changed,故填has changed。
38.句意:道路过去曾是土路。此处需要一个be动词的适当形式,在句中作谓语,表示“曾经是”的含义。因为固定搭配“used to do sth.”表示“过去常常做某事/过去曾经是”,后接动词原形,所以选择be。变形为不定式形式to be,故填to be。
39.句意:工人们经常把废水排入河里。此处需要一个动词,在句中作谓语,表示“倾倒、放置”的动作。因为本段描述家乡过去的状况,用一般过去时,且固定搭配“put...into...”表示“把……倒入……”,所以选择put。put的过去式仍为put,故填put。
40.句意:自1986年以来,我们的生活条件改善了很多。此处需要一个动词,在句中作谓语,表示“改善、提升”的含义。因为“since 1986”是现在完成时的标志词,主语our living conditions为复数,所以选择improve。improve的现在完成时复数形式为have improved,故填have improved。
41.句意:我们大多数人都搬进了又大又漂亮的房子。此处需要一个动词,在句中作谓语,表示“搬迁”的动作与结果。因为语境体现过去的动作对现在造成的结果,需用现在完成时,主语most of us为复数,所以选择move。move的现在完成时复数形式为have moved,故填have moved。
42.句意:人们过去常通过听收音机获取新闻和天气信息。此处需要一个动词,在句中构成非谓语结构,表示“听”的动作。因为固定搭配“used to do sth.”表示“过去常常做某事”,后接动词原形,所以选择listen。变形为不定式形式to listen,故填to listen。
43.句意:政府去年修建了大型医院和新学校。此处需要一个动词,在句中作谓语,表示“建造”的动作。因为句中“last year”是一般过去时的时间标志,提示动作发生在过去,所以选择build。build的过去式为built,故填built。
44.句意:人们的生活正变得越来越好。此处需要一个动词,在句中作谓语,表示“变得”的渐进过程。因为“better and better”体现逐渐变化的趋势,搭配现在进行时更贴合语境,主语people’s life为单数,所以选择get。get的现在进行时第三人称单数形式为is getting,故填is getting。
45.句意:这些变化让我们的生活更舒适、更便利。此处需要一个动词,在句中作谓语,表示“使得”的结果。因为语境体现变化带来的持续影响,需用现在完成时,主语these changes为复数,所以选择make。make的现在完成时复数形式为have made,故填have made。

Pudong, a part of Shanghai, is now one of the busiest areas in China. Walk through its streets, and you’ll see countless tall buildings, busy companies, and crowds of people. But if you could go back to the 1980s, you would find a very quiet place—small boats on the water, a few low houses, and fields all around.
Pudong changed so much because of many big development projects. The local government worked hard to turn this area into a modern center. Over time, more and more land was used to build tall buildings, wide roads, and new facilities. This made the land here very valuable. Today, hundreds of international companies have their offices in Pudong, bringing jobs and energy to the area.
Transportation in Pudong is now easier than ever. There are six big bridges and five underwater tunnels connecting it to other parts of Shanghai. Every day, thousands of buses, cars, and trucks use these roads. For those who prefer trains, the underground runs under the river, taking people to their destinations quickly.
Tourism is also a big part of Pudong’s life now. The Oriental Pearl TV Tower and Jinmao Tower stand tall, attracting millions of visitors every year. They come to take photos, enjoy the city views from the top, and feel the excitement of this modern area.
Pudong’s story is like a fast-growing tree. It started small, but with care and hard work, it has become a wonderful place that people from all over the world love to visit.

47.根据第二段“Pudong changed so much because of many big development projects.”可知,是大型开发项目导致了浦东的变化。
48.根据第二段“Today, hundreds of international companies have their offices in Pudong, bringing jobs and energy to the area.”可知,公司带来了工作和活力。
49.根据第三段“There are six big bridges and five underwater tunnels connecting it to other parts of Shanghai.”可知,连接浦东的大桥有六座。
50.根据第五段“It started small, but with care and hard work, it has become a wonderful place that people from all over the world love to visit.”可知,浦东的变化是伟大而令人惊叹的。开放性问题,言之成理即可。

Dear Lillie,
How are you? I am happy to be back home, but my hometown is a little different now. I am really upset about one change. We are going to have a big shopping mall in my beautiful neighbourhood! I can’t believe it!
My neighbourhood is near a school. It is very quiet and convenient here. There are many family-owned stores on the main street—a flower shop, two clothing stores, a bakery and a vegetable shop. I hope we don’t lose these small stores because of the shopping mall. I don’t want my neighbourhood to change any more.
I hope you are OK. Can you visit me soon?
Love,
Yiming
Dear Yiming,
I’m fine. I miss you, too.
There are a lot of changes here in my town, too. There are two busy streets near my house, Main street and Queens Road. When I was young, there wasn’t much noise here, but today there are more people and cars.
There is another big change. There are two restaurants near my house! Two! Three years ago there was only one small café. I ate breakfast there every morning. But it’s gone! There is a fast food shop there now.
Luckily, one thing did not change. The Air Theatre is still on the corner of Main Street and Queens Road. It is one of my favourite places.
I hope to visit you soon.
Yours,
Lillie

When I was a child, my family lived in a remote village. At that time, our life was very simple and hard. We lived in a small wooden house with no modern furniture. There was no TV or computer in our home. My parents had to walk miles every day to work on the farm.
The biggest problem for us was education. The village school was old and shabby. There were only three teachers teaching all subjects for over 100 students. The classroom had broken windows and old desks. I had to walk one hour to go to school every morning in cold or hot weather.
But now, everything has changed. Our village has been rebuilt. We live in bright and comfortable brick houses. The government built a new modern school for us. It has bright classrooms, new desks, a library and a computer room. We have enough professional teachers for each subject. Now I only need to ride a bike for ten minutes to get to school.
Besides, we have convenient transportation and fast network. My mother can sell our farm products online. My father no longer works on the farm all day. He finds a job in a nearby factory. Our life becomes much easier and happier than before.
I feel lucky to witness these great changes. The changing world brings us endless hope. I believe our future will become much better.

Pudong, a part of Shanghai, is now one of the busiest areas in China. Walk through its streets, and you’ll see countless tall buildings, busy companies, and crowds of people. But if you could go back to the 1980s, you would find a very quiet place—small boats on the water, a few low houses, and fields all around.
Pudong changed so much because of many big development projects. The local government worked hard to turn this area into a modern center. Over time, more and more land was used to build tall buildings, wide roads, and new facilities. This made the land here very valuable. Today, hundreds of international companies have their offices in Pudong, bringing jobs and energy to the area.
Transportation in Pudong is now easier than ever. There are six big bridges and five underwater tunnels connecting it to other parts of Shanghai. Every day, thousands of buses, cars, and trucks use these roads. For those who prefer trains, the underground runs under the river, taking people to their destinations quickly.
Tourism is also a big part of Pudong’s life now. The Oriental Pearl TV Tower and Jinmao Tower stand tall, attracting millions of visitors every year. They come to take photos, enjoy the city views from the top, and feel the excitement of this modern area.
Pudong’s story is like a fast-growing tree. It started small, but with care and hard work, it has become a wonderful place that people from all over the world love to visit.
