七、七选五阅读
William Shakespeare may have written that “all the world’s a stage”, but sadly theaters witness a decline in school visits due to budget pressures. 1
The most obvious benefit is academic. Students watching a live play outperform those seeing the same play as a film adaptation on knowledge of content and vocabulary. 2 When seeing it brought to life, they can build a thorough understanding in discussing the staging and interpretations of stage directions.
Live theater also teaches how to develop relationships. People’s heart rates synchronize (同步) in a theater audience. This is a behavior that has been shown to enhance social bonding. 3 In fact, the common heightened emotion of watching a play also teaches students that it’s ok to feel and express emotions such as sadness.
4 Schools really welcome using theater and plays to open up difficult discussions where students can explore diverse perspectives and accept others with an open mind. As a result, students are more likely to accept statements such as “I think people can have different opinions about the same thing”.
Finally, theater helps open students’ eyes up to the range of jobs available within the industry. 5 There are many backstage roles, which often don’t become obvious until you experience a live performance.
Given these significant benefits — academic, emotional, social, and occupational — schools should guarantee students never miss out on these transformative experiences.
A.Plays don’t just require actors.
B.Live theater makes class discussion intolerable.
C.The actual journey to the theater also boosts social tolerance.
D.A synchronized audience is perfect for building social tolerance.
E.The shared experience of something moving helps people connect.
F.Yet, live theater experiences remain vital for students’ development.
G.For those studying English plays, a text of a play is merely a written version.

1.She holds a sincere for her childhood friends and keeps in touch with them.
2.We should deeply the efforts our parents have made for us.
3.Getting used to a new culture is a long and gradual .
4.The company wants to its market to more Asian countries.

7.Without enough practice, these grammar rules can seem very .
8.You may your notes while preparing for the coming exam.
【答案】
1.affection 2.appreciate 3.process 4.extend 5.regard 6.pattern 7.complex 8.refer to
【详解】
1.考查名词。句意:她对儿时的朋友们怀有真挚的友情,并且一直与他们保持着联系。根据句意可知,此处为名词affection“喜爱、感情”,符合“珍视童年友谊”的语境。
2.考查动词。句意:我们应当深切地感激父母为我们所付出的一切努力。根据句意可知,此处为动词appreciate“感激”,与“父母为我们付出的努力”搭配,表达感恩之情,结合空前should情态动词可知,为动词原形。
3.考查名词。句意:适应一种新的文化是一个漫长且渐进的过程。根据句意可知,适应新文化是一个漫长且渐进的“过程”,名词process(过程)与 long and gradual(漫长渐进的)语义契合。
4.考查动词。句意:该公司希望将其市场拓展至更多的亚洲国家。根据句意可知,此处为动词extend“拓展”,符合公司向更多亚洲国家扩张业务的语境。
5.考查动词短语和态。句意:大多数人将他视为勇敢和坚毅的典范。根据句意可知,此处为动词短语regard sb as... 意为“把某人看作……”,是英语中表达评价的常用句型,结合句意可知,此处为陈述一般事实,为一般现在时。
6.考查名词。句意:他睡眠习惯的这种变化让他的父母感到担忧。根据句意可知,此处为名词pattern“模式”,构成固定短语sleeping pattern意为“睡眠模式”,changing pattern(变化的模式)对应“让父母担心”的结果。
7.考查形容词。句意:如果没有足够的练习,这些语法规则可能会显得非常复杂。根据句意可知,此处为形容词complex“复杂的”,符合没有足够练习就不能很好理解的语境。
8.考查动词短语。句意:在准备即将到来的考试时,你可以参考你的笔记。根据句意可知,此处为动词短语refer to notes 意为“查阅笔记”,符合备考时的常见行为,结合空前may情态动词可知,为动词原形。
三、根据汉语提示完成句子
1.He told me that _________________ (他以前从没到过这么遥远的村子).
【答案】he had never been to such a remote village before
【详解】句意:他告诉我,他以前从未到过这么遥远的村子。空处是that引导的宾语从句,主句谓语动词told是一般过去时,从句中“从没到过”这个动作发生在“告诉”这个动作之前,属于过去的过去,因此需要用过去完成时“had + 过去分词”的结构。 表示“曾经到过某地(人已经离开该地)”用固定搭配have been to,否定词never位于助动词have之后,本句变为过去完成时就是had been to;“以前”用副词before;“遥远的”用形容词remote,“村子”用名词village,所以“这么遥远的村子”表达为such a remote village。
2.Using advanced instruments, scientists can __________ (探测引力波) and __________ (分析太空数据) to understand the origins of the universe.
【答案】detect gravity waves analyze space data
【详解】句意:利用先进仪器,科学家可以探测引力波并分析太空数据,以理解宇宙的起源。“探测引力波”译为detect gravity waves,在情态动词can后,动词detect用原形;“分析太空数据”译为analyze space data,analyze是并列谓语动词,也应使用原形。
3.Even after centuries of domestication, cats still ________________ (察觉危险) such as sudden movements or loud noises.
【答案】perceive danger
【详解】句意:经过数百年驯化,猫咪仍能察觉突如其来的动静、巨响这类危险。根据汉语提示“察觉危险”可知,用动词短语perceive danger,句子描述的是客观事实,用一般现在时,主语cats为复数名词,动词用原形。
4.Before going out with friends, it’s important to ________ ________ (储存以备他用) enough money for your share of the expenses.
【答案】set aside
【详解】考查动词短语。句意:在与朋友外出之前,一定要留出足够的钱来支付你们各自应承担的费用。set aside表示“储存以备他用;储存;留出”,不定式符号to后接动词原形形式。故填set;aside。
5.Sculpting requires ________ (耐心与精准), much like aiming in archery.
【答案】patience and precision
【详解】考查名词。句意:雕刻需要耐心和精准,就像射箭瞄准一样。表示“耐心”用patience;表示“精准”用precision,patience和precision为并列关系,用and连接,作requires的宾语。故填patience and precision。
四、所给词的适当形式填空
1.We need enough (patient) to deal with difficulties and solve complex problems.
【答案】patience
【详解】句意:我们需要足够的耐心去应对困境、解决复杂的问题。空处作need的宾语,被enough修饰,应用名词patience“耐心”,为不可数名词。
2.Dreams are rather important, but we should also face the (real) bravely.
【答案】reality
【详解】句意:梦想固然重要,但我们也应勇敢面对现实。空处作宾语,需填名词reality。
3.Environmentalists and researchers work tirelessly (detect) signs of climate change, pollution, and habitat destruction, so they can take appropriate measures to address these issues.
【答案】to detect
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:环保主义者和研究人员不知疲倦地工作,以发现气候变化、污染和栖息地破坏的迹象,以便他们能够采取适当措施解决这些问题。根据句意可知,此处应用动词不定式作目的状语,表示“为了发现气候变化、污染和栖息地破坏的迹象”。故填to detect。
4.Scientists are (constant) looking for solutions to today’s problems, which gives us hope for tomorrow.
【答案】constantly
【详解】考查副词。句意:科学家们在不断地寻找解决当今问题的办法,这给了我们对明天的希望。此处修饰谓语动词are looking for,应用副词constantly“不断地,一直”,作状语。故填constantly。
5.Some of the studies can be (contradict) and confusing, which even leads to some misunderstandings among the public.
【答案】contradictory
【详解】考查形容词。句意:有些研究可能是相互矛盾且令人困惑的,这甚至会在公众中引发一些误解。根据“can be”及“and confusing”可知,此空应是形容词contradictory,意为“相互矛盾的,对立的”,作表语。故填contradictory。
6.The poet carefully chose words that (rhyme).
【答案】rhyme
【详解】考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:诗人仔细地选择押韵的词。空处作that引导的定语从句的谓语,从句的先行词是words,that替代先行词在从句中作主语,从句在描述客观事实,时态应用一般现在时,主语是复数,rhyme“押韵”应保持原形。故填rhyme。
7.Cultivating a plant in space is just one part of a (complex)and larger effort.
【答案】more complex
【详解】考查形容词比较级。句意:在太空中种植植物只是一项更复杂和更大努力的一部分,根据上文“ Cultivating a plant in space(在太空中种植植物)”以及“ larger”可知,此处是把在太空种植植物和在地球上种植植物进行比较,应用形容词的比较级。故填 more complex。
五、语法填空
Readers with the feeling that poetry is difficult 1 (understand) often hesitate about reading poetry. The following 2 (step) explain how to better understand and appreciate poems.
First, follow your ears. You are advised to ask “ How does it sound?” instead 3 “What does it mean?” 4 (read) it aloud, you will say something about how the poem sounds.

Then make good use of the surroundings you have found to dig up clues 6 (give) you a greater understanding of the poem. Third, just be 7 (patience) enough to interpret the meaning of a poem. Sometimes it 8 ( take) a lifelong time to really understand a poem. Poems that constantly reveal deeper and previously unrecognized meanings are 9 (interesting) than those that are easy to understand.
Finally, 10 is unnecessary to fully understand :poem to appreciate it. Sometimes, to find a poem's true inner beauty, you might need to give up logical thinking. Learn to enjoy your journey in the world of poetry!
【答案】
1.to understand 2.steps 3.of 4.Reading 5.that 6.giving 7.patient 8.takes 9.more interesting 10.it
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是向读者介绍如何更好地理解和欣赏诗歌。
【详解】
1.考查非谓语动词。句意:觉得诗难懂的读者往往在读诗时犹豫不决。句中is为谓语动词,设空处使用非谓语动词。be+形容词+to do为固定结构,意为“去做某事……”。故填to understand。
2.考查名词。句意:下面的步骤解释了如何更好地理解和欣赏诗歌。设空处使用名词作主语,step为可数名词,此处表示复数意义。故填steps。
3.考查介词。句意:首先,跟着你的耳朵走。建议你问“它听起来怎么样?”而不是“它是什么意思?”句中instead of为固定短语,意为“而不是”。故填of。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意:大声朗读,你会说出这首诗的发音。句中will say为谓语动词,设空处使用非谓语动词,此处you与read之间是主动关系,同时表示伴随,故使用现在分词形式作状语。同时该空置于句首,开头单词首字母大写。故填Reading。
5.考查状语从句。句意:问一些关于这首诗的基本问题,这样你就能在脑海中看到具体的形象。设空处构成的是so that的固定短语,引导状语从句,意为“为了……;以便于……”。故填that。
6.考查非谓语动词。句意:然后好好利用你所找到的环境来挖掘线索,让你更好地理解这首诗。句中have found为谓语动词,设空处使用非谓语动词,此处clues与give之间是主动关系,故使用现在分词作后置定语。故填giving。
7.考查形容词。句意:第三,只要有足够的耐心来解释一首诗的意思。设空处使用形容词作表语。故填patient。
8.考查动词时态。句意:有时要花一辈子的时间才能真正理解一首诗。设空处使用动词作谓语,句子表述客观事实,故使用一般现在时。句子的主语为it为第三人称单数。故填takes。
9.考查形容词。句意:不断揭示更深层次和以前未被认识到的含义的诗歌比那些容易理解的诗歌更有趣。句中than为比较级标志,设空处使用interesting的比较级作表语,此处表示“更有趣”用more interesting。故填more interesting。
10.考查代词。句意:最后,没有必要完全理解诗歌,去欣赏它。句中使用代词作主语,真正的主语为后面的to understand不定式,设空处应该使用形式主语it。故填it。
六、阅读理解

The third and fourth lines have to be related to the first part of your limerick, but are not with the same rhyme. They could be like, “ He wouldn’t touch a tomato/It tasted too much like potatoes” or something along those lines.
The fifth line must rhyme with the first two lines.Your last line could be like, “And potatoes, you know, do not shine” or something like that.
Your entire limerick would be kind of like this: There once was a man who ate limes/And sampled various wines/ He wouldn’t touch a tomato/It tasted too much like potatoes/And potatoes, you know, do not shine.
If you don’t like your limerick, you can always go back and change it. It’s not permanent.
1.What should be cared about most to write limericks?
A.The length. B.The rhyme.
C.The structure. D.The style.

4.What might be the most suitable title for the text?
A.How to Write a Limerick
B.How to Appreciate a Limerick
C.How to Analyze Limericks Exactly
D.How to Organize Five Lines into a Limerick
【答案】
1.B 2.D 3.A 4.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍如何创作五行打油诗(Limericks),这是一种通常具有幽默感的五行诗,每行的押韵规则。
【详解】
1.细节理解题。由第一段“ the first two rhyme, the two in the middle rhyme, and the last line rhymes with the first two lines.(前两行押韵,中间两行押韵,最后一行与前两行押韵。)”可知,前两个押韵,中间两个押韵,最后一行与前两行押韵。所以再结合下文举的例子可知,写五行打油诗的时候,要注意哪一行和哪一行押韵。故判断出写打油诗最应该关心的是押韵。故选B。
2.推理判断题。由第四段“Your next line has to rhyme with the first line.(你的下一行必须和第一行押韵。)”以及第五段“The third and fourth lines have to be related to the first part of your limerick, but are not with the same rhyme. (第三行和第四行必须与打油诗的第一部分相关,但不能押韵。)”以及第六段“The fifth line must rhyme with the first two lines.( 第五行必须与前两行押韵。)”可知,你的下一行必须和第一行押韵。第三和第四行必须与你的打油诗的第一部分有关,但不是押韵的。第五行必须与前两行押韵。所以,打油诗从第二行到第五行怎么写,都与第一行怎么写有直接的关系。故判断D选项“Start your first line.(开始写你的第一行)”最适合文本中的空白处。故选D。
3.推理判断题。由倒数第二段“There once was a man who ate limes/And sampled various wines/ He wouldn’t touch a tomato/It tasted too much like potatoes/And potatoes, you know, do not shine.(曾经有一个人,他吃酸橙/尝过各种各样的酒/他不愿碰西红柿/它尝起来太像土豆了/而土豆,你知道,不发光。)”可知,这是最终写成的打油诗,之前作者在讲解如何写五行打油诗的时候,将这首打油诗一一进行分解以例子的形式来进行解释说明。所以判断出作者是通过列举来展开短文的。故选A。
4.主旨大意题。根据第一段中“ Here is how to write a limerick.( 下面是如何写打油诗。)”以及通读全文可知,文章围绕着“如何写五行打油诗”而展开的。故短文的最佳标题为“How to Write a Limerick(如何写五行打油诗)”。故选A。

F.Yet, live theater experiences remain vital for students’ development.
G.For those studying English plays, a text of a play is merely a written version.
【答案】
1.F 2.G 3.E 4.C 5.A
【导语】文章主要从学术、情感、社交和职业四个方面阐述了现场戏剧体验对学生发展的重要性,呼吁学校确保学生不因预算压力而错过这些有变革性的经历。
【详解】
1.上文“William Shakespeare may have written that “all the world’s a stage”, but sadly theaters witness a decline in school visits due to budget pressures. (威廉·莎士比亚或许曾写下“全世界是一个舞台”,但遗憾的是,由于预算压力,剧院的学校参观人数正在减少。)”指出学校减少参观剧院的现象,下文段落具体论述体验戏剧的好处,因此F项“Yet, live theater experiences remain vital for students’ development. (然而,现场戏剧体验对学生的发展仍然至关重要。)”符合语境,强调现场戏剧体验的重要性,和上文构成转折,引出下文的论述。
2.上文“Students watching a live play outperform those seeing the same play as a film adaptation on knowledge of content and vocabulary. (观看现场戏剧的学生在内容和词汇知识方面,表现优于观看同场戏剧电影改编版本的学生。)”对比看现场戏剧与电影改编的学生的学业表现,下文“When seeing it brought to life, they can build a thorough understanding in discussing the staging and interpretations of stage directions. (当看到它被生动呈现时,他们就能深入理解舞台指导的布景与诠释。)”说明现场表演能帮助理解舞台指导,因此G项“For those studying English plays, a text of a play is merely a written version. (对于那些学习英语戏剧的人来说,剧本仅仅是书面版本。)”符合语境,强调剧本的局限性,为下文的“生动呈现”作铺垫,与下文共同解释学业表现有差异的原因。
3.上文“People’s heart rates synchronize (同步) in a theater audience. This is a behavior that has been shown to enhance social bonding. (观众在剧院中的心率会同步。这种行为已被证明能够增强社会联结。)”提到观众心率同步能增强社会联结,下文“In fact, the common heightened emotion of watching a play also teaches students that it’s ok to feel and express emotions such as sadness. (事实上,观看戏剧时普遍增强的情绪也教会学生,感到悲伤并表达情绪是完全可以接受的。)”提到共同高涨情绪教会学生表达情感,因此E项“The shared experience of something moving helps people connect. (感人的共同体验有助于人们建立联系。)”符合语境,强调共同体验促进联系,与上下文关于情感同步和社交纽带的内容一致。
4.下文“Schools really welcome using theater and plays to open up difficult discussions where students can explore diverse perspectives and accept others with an open mind. As a result, students are more likely to accept statements such as “I think people can have different opinions about the same thing”. (学校非常欢迎通过戏剧和剧目来开展艰难话题的讨论,让学生们能够探索不同的观点,并以开放的心态接纳他人。因此,学生更有可能接受诸如“我认为人们对于同一事物可以有不同的看法”这样的陈述。)”提到学校利用戏剧展开艰难话题的讨论,培养学生的开放心态,与“社会容忍度”直接相关,因此C项“The actual journey to the theater also boosts social tolerance. (去剧院的实际旅程也提高了社会的容忍度。)”符合语境,点明整个剧院体验对培养宽容度的作用,可作为段首句统领本段内容。
5.上文“Finally, theater helps open students’ eyes up to the range of jobs available within the industry. (最后,剧院有助于让学生了解该行业所提供的各种职业选择。)”指出剧院让学生了解业内各种工作,下文“There are many backstage roles, which often don’t become obvious until you experience a live performance. (幕后有许多角色,往往只有亲身体验现场演出后才会变得清晰可见。)”提到现场体验让人了解幕后角色,因此A项“Plays don’t just require actors. (戏剧不仅仅需要演员。)”符合语境,说明戏剧需要多种角色,呼应上文的各种工作,引出对幕后角色的介绍。
