For weeks, the students had been in careful preparation for the Parents’ Night program. Now everything was in order. The hall was filling quickly and no parents were 1 .
The host began the great night. David walked onto the stage (舞台) to give his 2 . His parents looked at him with pride—their son was always good at public speaking. And this was 3 the moment the boy had been looking forward to.
After a simple 4 David started with great passion (激情). His speaking soon caught everyone’s interest and everything went right! Suddenly, the world seemed to swim before him. David had to slow down and finally stopped. There was dead 5 in the hall! The boy’s face turned red. He then looked helplessly towards his teacher, Mrs. Smith.
Having ever heard the speech practiced again and again, Mrs. Smith filled in the missing words and David went on. But somehow it was different now. The boy stopped again, and the teacher 6 him again. For the last two minutes, the speech seemed more the teacher’s than the boy’s.
Finally, David finished it. But he knew he had 7 . Embarrassment was clearly 8 on the faces of his father and mother. And the audience (观众) felt so sorry for the boy.
But the teacher said, “I’m happy to see a boy making a wonderful success 9 he actually didn’t do so well! He has perfectly shown us the spirit and courage of 10 difficulties!”
A great cheer went up from the crowd. And the smile was back on the faces of the boy’s parents.

He spent hours 3 about shadow puppetry online and watching videos. “I didn’t 4 much about it before,” he said. “But once I started, I couldn’t stop.” He soon discovered that many shadow puppets were 5 because no one was taking care of them.
Li Ming decided to 6 action. He started a group called “Shadow Keepers” with five classmates. They visit antique 7 to find old puppets and repair them. They also hold 8 at schools to teach other students about shadow puppetry.
“If we don’t protect these treasures, they will 9 forever,” Li Ming said. “It is our 10 to keep them alive.” The group has already repaired more than 30 puppets and 11 an exhibition at the local museum.

1.句意:他的兴趣始于他在爷爷的阁楼里发现一个破损的皮影。
前文提到“has a special hobby”,对应此处为interest“兴趣”。problem“问题”、doubt“怀疑”、duty“责任”和语境不符。
2.句意:他被它的美所吸引,决定修复它。
由“its beauty”可知是被美感吸引,应用attracted“被吸引的”。frightened“害怕的”、disappointed“失望的”、puzzled“困惑的”语义不通。
3.句意:他花数小时在网上了解皮影戏并且观看视频。
固定搭配“spend time doing sth.”,结合“about shadow puppetry online”可知,是在网上了解皮影戏,learn about“了解”,应用learning。worrying“担忧”、caring“关心”、dreaming“梦想”不符合语境。
4.句意:“我以前对它了解不多,” 他说,“但是一旦开始,我就停不下来。”
根据前文他在网上学习,可知之前“知道”得不多。know much about…“对……了解很多”,应用know。speak“说”、think“思考”、care“在意”搭配与句意不符。
5.句意:他很快发现许多皮影遭到损坏,因为没有人照料它们。
根据后文“no one was taking care of them”,可知皮影是受损的,应用damaged“被损坏的”。repaired“被修复”、made“被制作”、sold“被售卖”语义不通。
6.句意:李明决定采取行动。
固定搭配take action“采取行动”,应用take。do、make、set不能和action构成该固定搭配。
7.句意:他们逛古玩商店寻找旧皮影并修复它们。
结合“to find old puppets”,能够找到旧皮影的地方是shops“商店”。schools“学校”、museums“博物馆”、libraries“图书馆”不符合场景逻辑。
8.句意:他们也在学校举办研习班,教其他学生了解皮影戏。
根据“to teach other students about shadow puppetry”,可知用来教学的活动为workshops“研习班,专题讨论会”。parties“派对”、concerts“音乐会”、meetings“会议”不符合教学场景。
9.句意:“如果我们不保护这些珍宝,它们将会永远消失,” 李明说。
if引导条件状语从句,不保护就会消亡,应用disappear“消失”。remain“保留”、improve“改善”、develop“发展”与句意相反。
10.句意:让它们延续下去是我们的责任。
固定句型It is one’s duty to do sth.“做某事是某人的责任”,应用duty“责任”。chance“机会”、idea“想法”、dream“梦想”不符合句子逻辑。
11.句意:这个小组已经修复了30多个皮影,并且在当地博物馆举办了一场展览。
结合“Many people came to the exhibition”可知,此处值这个小组举办了一场展览,hold an exhibition“举办展览”,and前后时态一致,用过去分词held。visited“参观”、watched“观看”、found“发现”不符合语境。
12.句意:很多人来参观展览,因为他们对这门古老艺术感到好奇。
后句是前句的原因,应用because“因为”。although“虽然”、unless“除非”、until“直到”逻辑连词含义不符。
13.句意:有些人甚至主动提出成为志愿者。
“they were curious about this old art”以及“even”可知,语义发生了递进,指主动提出成为志愿者,offer to do sth.“主动提出做某事”,应用offered。refused“拒绝”、forgot“忘记”、failed“未能”语义和上下文矛盾。
14.句意:李明感到很自豪,因为他相信如果年轻人参与进来,这门艺术就会拥有未来。
此处引导条件,if“如果”引导条件状语从句。so“所以”、but“但是”、or“否则”逻辑不匹配。
15.句意:“创造力和责任感可以带来改变。” 他补充道。

【导语】本文是一篇议论文,围绕青少年心理健康这一热门问题展开论述,先点明青少年心理健康问题的严峻现状,分析诱发青少年产生心理困扰的两方面成因,进而提出家长以及成年群体可行的应对举措,呼吁加强日常沟通,妥善化解青少年的心理难题。
1. 句意:儿童与青少年属于特殊的群体。
后文出现“than other groups”,此处是把青少年视作一类群体,groups意为“群体”,契合语境。friends意为“朋友”、teams意为“队伍”,二者无法和后文的groups形成对应,不符合语境。
2.句意:相较于其余群体,他们需要来自外界更多的关怀。
心理健康层面青少年需要外界投入更多照料,more意为“更多的”,可以修饰不可数名词care。less意为“更少的”语义相悖,fewer用来限定可数名词复数,不能修饰care,二者不合适。
3.句意:依据报纸上的部分报道,主要存在两点成因。
下文使用固定结构“On the one hand...On the other hand”来列举两方面原因,因此数量选用two。one、three对应的数量和后文的两层缘由不匹配,不符合语境。
4.句意:一方面,双方父母都忙于工作。
此处用到固定搭配On the one hand,意为“一方面”,hand适配固定短语。side意为“边”、fact意为“事实”,无法构成该固定搭配,不符合语境。
5.句意:另外一方面,教室的规模偏大,老师很难留意到学生身上出现的问题。
班级人数较多,老师不容易察觉到学生的心理状况,notice意为“注意、留意”,贴合校园场景。doubt意为“怀疑”、create意为“创造”,放进句子语义不通顺,不符合语境。
6.句意:家长不太会重视孩子的行为表现以及其他心理健康方面的需求。
固定搭配pay much attention to意为“重视、关注”,介词需要选用to。at、on不能够适配这个固定搭配,不符合语法规则。
7.句意:一部分青少年会因为小事和同学发生争吵,还有一部分青少年会感到闷闷不乐,最终选择和自己暗自较劲。
后文“choose to fight with themselves”传递出消极的心理状态,unhappy意为“不开心的”,匹配低落的情绪。excited意为“兴奋的”、bored意为“无聊的”,不能够准确对应后文自我内耗的负面心境,不符合语境。
8.句意:想要解决这一问题,家长需要经常和自家孩子展开交流。
想要化解孩子的心理困扰,日常保持频繁沟通很有必要,often意为“经常”契合解决问题的要求。hardly意为“几乎不”、seldom意为“很少”,二者表示沟通频次偏低,不利于改善现状,不符合语境。
9.句意:与此同时,成年人以及家长每隔几周就应当和青少年谈心。
这里使用固定短语at the same time,含义为“与此同时”,time适配固定搭配。day意为“日子”、year意为“年份”,无法组成这一常用短语,不符合语境。
10.句意:当青少年深陷烦恼的时候,他们会向其他人群寻求帮助。
青少年遇到难题会向除家人之外的旁人求助,other意为“其他的”,可以修饰名词people。possible意为“可能的”、mad意为“疯狂的”,语义代入句子并不通顺,不符合语境。

【导语】本文是一篇关于秦始皇兵马俑的说明文,主要介绍了兵马俑的发现、建造、特点以及其历史意义。
1.句意:1974 年,陕西省西安的一些农民在打井时,有了一个令人惊讶的发现。固定搭配make a surprising discovery意为 “做出令人惊讶的发现”。根据语境,农民在挖掘时偶然发现了陶俑碎片,这一发现是令人惊讶的。
2.句意:这一发现促成/导致了20世纪最伟大考古发现之一 —— 兵马俑的出土。固定短语lead to意为 “导致、引发”。此处表示这一发现“引发” 了20世纪最伟大的考古发现之一,符合句意。
3.句意:它(这支地下军队)旨在在来世保护他(秦始皇)。固定句型It was meant to...表示 “本意是……、旨在……”。秦始皇建造地下军队是为了在来世保护他,因此用“meant”。
4.句意:这些俑像包括武士、战车和马匹,都是等身大小,且有着不同的特征。没有两个俑像完全一样。根据后文“No two figures are exactly the same.”(没有两个雕像完全相同),可知前文说它们是栩栩如生的,且具有不同的特征。
5.句意:建造如此庞大军队的工程是难以想象的。根据语境,此处指代建造兵马俑这项巨大的“工程、计划”,用 project最合适。
6.句意:这些俑像用当地陶土制成,然后在窑中烧制。根据常识和语境,陶俑是用当地的粘土制作,然后在窑里“烧制、烘烤”成型的,fired符合工艺描述。
7.句意:它们最初被绘上鲜艳的颜色,但大部分颜料随着时间褪色。根据转折连词“but”可知,前文说它们“被涂上了鲜艳的颜色”,后文应表示大多数颜色“已经消失了”,faded表示褪去。
8.句意:兵马俑不仅是中国古代艺术的杰作,也是了解秦朝历史的窗口。masterpiece意为“杰作;代表作”,高度评价兵马俑的艺术价值;treasure(宝藏)侧重物质价值,work(作品)过于普通,example(例子)均不如masterpiece贴切。
9.句意:通过研究这些俑像,历史学家可以了解军队的武器、盔甲,甚至那个时期人们的发型。固定搭配the hair-styles of the period意为“那个时代的发型”,指代秦朝当时的发型样式。
10.句意:如今,这个遗址已成为世界闻名的博物馆,每年吸引数百万来自世界各地的游客。主语是“it”(指代兵马俑博物馆),表示它“吸引” 了来自世界各地的数百万游客,attracts符合主谓一致和语境。
11.句意:他们亲自前来目睹这一奇迹,惊叹于它的规模和细节。固定搭配come to see意为“前来观赏、亲眼看到”。游客是亲自来“观赏”这个奇迹。
12.句意:兵马俑的发现极大地加深了我们对古代中国的理解。deepen意为 “加深(理解 / 认识)”,符合“考古发现丰富了历史认知”的语境;enrich(丰富)、improve(改善)、increase(增加)均不如deepen精准。
13.句意:它是全人类的文化遗产。固定搭配cultural heritage意为“文化遗产”,是描述兵马俑的标准术语;natural(自然的)、historical(历史的)、valuable(有价值的)均不符合固定搭配。
14.句意:专家们正努力保护剩余的色彩,防止进一步损坏。preserve意为“保护;保存(使免受损坏)”,侧重“维持现状、延长寿命”,符合文物保护的语境;protect(保护,侧重防御)、keep(保持)、save(拯救)均不如preserve专业。
15.句意:他们的工作确保后代也能欣赏这一中国历史的奇迹。admire意为“欣赏;钦佩”,符合“后代感受兵马俑的艺术与历史魅力”的语境;enjoy(享受)、love(热爱)、like(喜欢)均不如admire正式且贴合文化遗产的语境。
Digging into the Past
Last year, Kate Marshall was given a very exciting opportunity—to help her father, who’s a history expert, at a historical site (遗址)! He was leading a team to dig up and explore the area.
When they arrived, though, the site wasn’t quite what Kate had 1 .
In fact, the whole area was actually still covered in grass. So the first job was to remove it all and prepare the 2 for digging. Says Kate, “Dad hadn’t warned me I’d have to work so hard as soon as we got there!”
But when the site was completely cleared, the team found pieces of ancient pots on the ground. However, those weren’t as exciting as everyone had thought. Kate’s dad told them that the important pots were still under the ground. And because no one had 3 them for centuries, the team would learn far more about their history—but first they would have to dig deeper. Says Kate, “Some people were a bit disappointed by that news. But we all knew Dad was right!”
The site was divided into small squares, with a 4 for each square, who told everyone how to dig. “That wasn’t as easy as it sounded, either,” Kate reports. “Instead of just digging great big holes, we all had to dig really 5 , and remove small amounts of soil each time. That way, everyone made sure they didn’t miss anything. So it made sense.”
“My friends at home were really interested in what I was doing,” Kate explains. “They kept texting me to ask what I’d found. They probably imagined it was things like gold jewelry (珠宝). But actually, we were looking for 6 , everyday objects that could tell us about the people who’d lived in the area centuries ago.”
In the end, though, Kate wasn’t disappointed by what she found. “One day, when I was digging away, I found a stone with a strange shape. It 7 out to be a small figure of a horse. Someone had obviously made it hundreds of years ago, which meant it was really important. Dad cleaned it up, and said it would go to the nearby 8 . I was pleased with that at last, as I’d found something interesting!”
1.A.expected B.remembered C.experienced D.reported

Digging into the Past
Last year, Kate Marshall was given a very exciting opportunity—to help her father, who’s a history expert, at a historical site (遗址)! He was leading a team to dig up and explore the area.
When they arrived, though, the site wasn’t quite what Kate had 1 .
In fact, the whole area was actually still covered in grass. So the first job was to remove it all and prepare the 2 for digging. Says Kate, “Dad hadn’t warned me I’d have to work so hard as soon as we got there!”
But when the site was completely cleared, the team found pieces of ancient pots on the ground. However, those weren’t as exciting as everyone had thought. Kate’s dad told them that the important pots were still under the ground. And because no one had 3 them for centuries, the team would learn far more about their history—but first they would have to dig deeper. Says Kate, “Some people were a bit disappointed by that news. But we all knew Dad was right!”
The site was divided into small squares, with a 4 for each square, who told everyone how to dig. “That wasn’t as easy as it sounded, either,” Kate reports. “Instead of just digging great big holes, we all had to dig really 5 , and remove small amounts of soil each time. That way, everyone made sure they didn’t miss anything. So it made sense.”
“My friends at home were really interested in what I was doing,” Kate explains. “They kept texting me to ask what I’d found. They probably imagined it was things like gold jewelry (珠宝). But actually, we were looking for 6 , everyday objects that could tell us about the people who’d lived in the area centuries ago.”
In the end, though, Kate wasn’t disappointed by what she found. “One day, when I was digging away, I found a stone with a strange shape. It 7 out to be a small figure of a horse. Someone had obviously made it hundreds of years ago, which meant it was really important. Dad cleaned it up, and said it would go to the nearby 8 . I was pleased with that at last, as I’d found something interesting!”
