Last winter vacation, I didn’t go anywhere sunny or warm. Instead, I had a very 1 experience—I went to Harbin to see the Ice and Snow Festival!
The 2 was freezing cold, often below - 20°C! I had to wear my heaviest coat, a thick hat and gloves. 3 I still felt cold sometimes. The festival was amazing. The sculptures (雕塑) were made of ice or snow and 4 like real people, animals, and castles. At night, they were 5 in all colors, which made them look even more magical.
The most 6 thing I did was to slide down (滑下) the huge ice slides. It was 7 fast! I also 8 trying the local food, like hot stews (炖菜) which were perfect for the cold weather.
The trip 9 for five days. It was short but incredible. It taught me that a holiday doesn’t need to be warm to be wonderful. It was 10 the best winter holiday I’ve ever had.

【导语】本文讲述作者去年寒假前往哈尔滨参加冰雪节的一次旅行经历,描写当地寒冷的天气、精美冰雕、有趣的活动以及自己的感悟。
1. 句意:相反,我有一次非常不一样的经历——我去哈尔滨看冰雪节!
根据后文动身前往哈尔滨,可知这并不是一次寻常的假期。usual意为平常的,boring无聊的,terrible糟糕的,均和语境不符,different表示不同的,符合上下文逻辑。
2.句意:天气极其寒冷,常常低于零下二十摄氏度。
本句后半句“freezing cold, often below‑20℃”是在描述气温天气。food食物,people人们,water水,均不符合;weather天气,契合语境。
3.句意:但是我有时候仍然会觉得冷。
前文已经交代天气严寒、自己穿上全套厚衣物,本句说依旧会感到寒冷,前后构成转折关系。so因此表因果,however后面一般需要加逗号,because因为引导原因,均不合适;but但是表转折,逻辑通顺。
4.句意:这些雕塑由冰雪制成,看上去就如同真人、动物还有城堡。
雕塑只能够通过视觉去感受。tasted尝起来,sounded听起来,felt摸起来,均不符合;looked看起来,和主语sculptures相匹配。
5.句意:到了夜晚,它们被五彩斑斓的灯光点亮,这让它们看上去更加奇幻。
夜晚冰雕呈现多彩效果,是灯光照射的结果。put up张贴、搭建,took up占据,got up起床,均语义不通;lit up点亮,符合夜晚场景。
6.句意:我做过最令人激动的一件事情就是从巨大的冰滑梯滑下去。
去冰滑梯滑行是一件让人兴奋开心的游玩项目。difficult困难的,expensive昂贵的,relaxing令人放松的,均和滑行体验不符;exciting令人激动的,贴合语境。
7.句意:速度快得简直难以置信。
从高大冰滑梯滑下来,滑行速度会很快。slowly缓慢地,carefully小心地,sadly伤心地,均不符合现实体验;unbelievably难以置信地,用来修饰fast。
8.句意:我还很乐意去品尝当地美食,例如非常适合寒冷天气的炖菜。
来到当地游玩,作者愿意体验本地食物。forgot忘记,refused拒绝,hated讨厌,都和文意相悖;enjoyed喜爱、享受,符合游客心态。
9.句意:这场旅程持续了五天。
此处表达旅行时间的长短。waited等待,spent主语必须是人,cost多指花费金钱;lasted持续,主语可以为事物,用来表示时间延续。
10.句意:这大概是我经历过最棒的寒假。
整篇文章作者都在极力赞美这次哈尔滨之行。hardly几乎不,never从不,seldom很少,均为否定含义,与全文感情色彩冲突;probably大概、很可能,用来表达主观评价,语义通顺。
Passage 3
阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C三个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

【导语】本文主要介绍了作者去年暑假和父母去临沧旅行的经历,包括参观云海、佤族村落和茶园等活动。
1. 句意:我们乘汽车去了那里。

2.句意:旅程很长,但我们都很兴奋。
前半句“旅程很长”,后半句“我们都很兴奋”,是转折关系,用but“但是”连接。
3.句意:当我们到达山顶,看见云海在我们下方。
他们站在山顶,云海应是在脚下的位置,用below“在……下方”。
4.句意:它太美了以至于我说不出任何话来。

【导语】本文讲述作者搬进新公寓后,亲手做饼干给父母惊喜,感悟到家不仅是居住处,更是分享温馨时刻的地方。
1.句意:我们的旧房子漂亮且大。
根据后文“But our new home is just half the size”,新家只有老房子一半大,前后形成对比,说明老房子很大,big“大的”符合题意;small“小的”、similar“相似的”、common“普通的” 不能和后文构成对比。
2.句意:搬家后的第二天,父母忙于工作,我决定独自打扫房子。
前文提到到处都是箱子,结合搬家场景,clean up表示“打扫清理”,符合题意;work out“算出,解决”、care about“关心”、turn around“转身”不符合语境。
3.句意:或许我可以像妈妈以前那样做一些饼干。
根据后文父母的话“Chocolate biscuits!”,可以确定作者想要做饼干,biscuits“饼干”符合题意;noodles“面条”、bread“面包”、salad“沙拉” 后文没有提及。
4.句意:当我把鸡蛋加到搅拌器里时,它突然不工作了。
add…to…是固定搭配,表示“把……加入……”,符合把鸡蛋加进搅拌器的语境;removed“移除”、protected“保护”、compared“比较” 不符合制作食物的动作。
5.句意:我赶紧跑去找到妈妈那台旧的白色搅拌器。
ran表示“奔跑”,体现作者着急去找旧搅拌器的心情;jumped“跳”、drove“开车”、rode“骑行”不符合室内场景。
6.句意:不幸的是,旧搅拌器也无法工作。
新搅拌器坏了,旧搅拌器也不能用,是一件不幸的事,Unluckily“不幸地”符合题意;Slowly“慢慢地”、Freshly“新近”、Especially“尤其” 逻辑不通。
7.句意:“加油!再试一次。”
try again固定短语,意为“再试一次”;loud“大声的”、early“早的”、high“高的” 不能和try搭配表达重试含义。
8.句意:两小时后父母开门,他们非常惊讶。
父母本来忙于工作,没想到孩子在家做好了巧克力饼干,所以感到惊讶,选surprised;quiet“安静的”、familiar“熟悉的”、popular“受欢迎的” 不符合场景。
9.句意:也许这栋房子没有老房子那么大。
整篇文章在讲新旧房子,house“房子”,对应全文话题;tower“塔”、palace“宫殿”、station“车站”和短文内容无关。
10.句意:家不只是我们居住的地方,更是我们分享甜蜜时刻和生活中小奇迹的地方。
sweet moments“甜蜜的瞬间”,契合全文温馨的情感;modern“现代的”、strange“奇怪的”、regular“常规的”不能表达家人之间温暖的感觉。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了Amy和Mark为了安慰摔伤腿、需要卧床休养且无法打理花园的奶奶,动手制作室内玻璃栽培盒,让奶奶足不出户也能享受小花园乐趣的暖心小故事。
1.句意:我希望我们能做点什么让她高兴起来。
根据前文“Poor Grandma!”可知,二人想要让情绪低落的奶奶开心起来,固定搭配cheer sb. up表示“使某人振作、高兴起来”,所以用cheer。
2.句意:奶奶摔倒了,伤了腿。
根据后文“sit in her chair”以及“her leg to become well again”的提示可知,奶奶受伤的部位是腿,所以用leg。
3.句意:奶奶十分好动,喜欢在花园里散步。
根据前文“Grandma was very active”可知,她喜欢在花园里活动,散步是花园中最常见的活动方式。应选用walk,表示“散步”。其余选项中rest“休息”、drink“喝饮品”、read“阅读”都不符合花园场景下奶奶好动性格的活动描述。
4. 句意:所以她不喜欢坐在椅子上等待她的腿康复。
根据前文她喜欢活动、不喜欢闲着,以及她需要时间让腿伤好转可知,她不喜欢的是被动地“等待”康复的过程,应选用waiting for,表示“等待”。
5.句意:我有一个主意。
根据后文Mark提出的制作栽培盒的具体建议可知,他想到了一个好点子,所以用idea。
6.句意:我们给奶奶做一个栽培盒吧,这样她就可以在自己的房子里欣赏一个花园了。
根据前文奶奶热爱花园却无法出门打理的情况,制作栽培盒是为了让奶奶能在家拥有并享受小花园,同时文章末尾也提到“she had a beautiful little garden to enjoy”,所以用enjoy。
7.句意:Amy同意了,所以他们俩找到了那本告诉他们怎么做栽培盒的杂志。
前半句说Amy认可了Mark的想法,后半句是二人接下来的行动,前后是因果承接关系,所以用so“所以”。
8.句意:Amy同意了,所以他们俩找到了那本告诉他们怎么做栽培盒的杂志,并且把它拿给妈妈看。
根据后文“She helped Amy and Mark find a large clear glass bottle”可知,妈妈知道了制作栽培盒这件事,说明他们让妈妈看了杂志。应选用showed,表示“给……看”。
9.句意:去园艺店买完材料之后,他们开始制作这个栽培盒。
前文提到买了材料,后文详细描述制作步骤,此处表示开始动手制作。应选用build,表示“建造、制作”。
10.句意:这会防止土壤变得过于潮湿。
根据常识,排水材料的作用是让多余的水分流走,避免土壤积水过湿,影响植物生长。应选用wet,表示“潮湿的”。
11.句意:现在他们准备好添加植物了。
前文已经完成了放置排水层、添加土壤的前置步骤,接下来就到了放入植物的环节,固定搭配be ready to do sth.表示“准备好做某事”,所以用ready。
12.句意:另一株很矮,开着鲜艳的粉色花。
前文说Amy选了两株植物,先描述了第一株的特点,此处描述第二株。表示“两者中的另一个”应用the other。
13.句意:为了让栽培盒变得更加色彩丰富,Amy在植物周围放了不同颜色的石头和鲜亮的绿色苔藓。
根据“Amy placed rocks of different colors and bright green moss around the plants. ”推断,Amy在植物周围放置不同颜色的石头和亮绿色的苔藓,目的是增加色彩的丰富性。应选用colorful,表示“色彩缤纷的”。
14.句意:最后,他们给植物浇了水。
前文依次描述了放置排水材料、添加土壤、添加植物和装饰物,浇水是制作栽培盒的最后步骤。应选用Finally,表示“最后”。Firstly表示“首先”,Instead表示“代替”,However表示“然而”,均不符合描述制作顺序的语境。
15.句意:当Amy和Mark把新的栽培盒拿给奶奶看的时候,她非常激动。
Amy和Mark把栽培盒送给奶奶后,奶奶足不出户就能拥有小花园,心情自然十分喜悦激动,所以用excited“激动的”。其余选项中angry“生气的”、unhappy“不开心的”均和故事的暖心基调相悖,touching“令人感动的”用来修饰事物,不能形容人的感受。

5.句意:当他们开车前往湖边时,大卫不知道他的家人为他计划了什么。
“David didn’t know...his family planned for him”表明,此处引导宾语从句,且在从句中作planned的宾语,指计划的内容,应用what。其他选项不能作宾语。
6.句意:当他们到达湖边时,看见了一座四周绿树环绕的温馨小木屋。
根据空后“...to the lake”可知,此处指到达湖边,需用got,构成短语get to...,表示“到达……”;arrived后接at或in,reached后不接介词。
7.句意:大卫非常惊讶!
根据前文“surprise weekend getaway”以及大卫不知情可知,他看到小屋时应是惊讶的,surprised“惊讶的”,符合语境。
8.句意:他们整个周末一起钓鱼、游泳,尽情欢乐。
主语是“They”,是人,表示度过时间应用spent,sb. spend time doing sth.表示“某人花费时间做某事”,符合;cost主语通常为物;paid侧重花费金钱;took常用于花费时间,不符合语法规则。
9.句意:他们整个周末一起钓鱼、游泳,尽情欢乐。
根据“fishing, swimming”可知,这些都是娱乐活动,have fun意为“玩得开心”。其他选项不符合语境。

根据“gave him a small”及下文“a photo of them”可知,照片就是送给大卫的礼物,gift“礼物”,符合语境。
11.句意:大卫非常感动。
收到家人精心准备的礼物和陪伴,大卫情感上应是感动的,touched“感动的”,符合情感色彩。
12.句意:他意识到家人对他最重要。
根据上下文逻辑,此处指大卫经过此事后心理上的领悟,意识到陪伴家人很重要,realized“意识到”,符合语境。

“spend more time with his family”表明,为了多陪伴家人,下班时间应更早,earlier“更早地”,符合语境。
15.句意:他明白了,做一位称职的父亲,不仅仅是在经济上供养家人,还要陪伴在家人身边,参与他们的生活。
“being a good dad... not just providing... but also...”表明,一个好爸爸不只是经济上供养家庭,还要亲身在场参与家人的生活,be present表示“在场,出席”,符合语境。

【导语】本文主要通过对比Amy和Susan的生活态度,揭示了快乐源于心态,告诉我们幸福掌握在自己手中。
1.句意:她们的生活真的没有什么特别的,但也没有什么真正消极的。
前文提到“They both live a common life.”(她们都过着普通的生活)。“common”意味着平凡,所以她们的生活中没有什么“特别的(special)”事情,但也没有什么消极的事情。special(特别的)符合语境。
2.句意:然而,似乎Amy总是比Susan更快乐。
后文提到“She is positive and always has a big smile...”(她很积极,总是面带微笑),并且整段都在对比两人的快乐程度,说明Amy总是比Susan更“快乐(happier)”。happier(更快乐)符合语境。
3.句意:看起来没有什么能困扰Amy。
因为Amy总是很积极、总是微笑,所以看起来“没有什么(nothing)”能困扰(trouble)她。nothing(没有什么)符合语境。
4.句意:她很乐观,脸上总是挂着灿烂的笑容。
固定搭配“on one’s face”意为“在某人的脸上”。笑容(smile)是在脸上。face(脸)符合语境。
5.句意:她们两人过着如此相似的生活,为什么Amy这么快乐?
后文列举了她们去同样的商店、看同样的电影、有相似的时间表,说明她们过着“相似的(similar)”生活。similar(相似的)符合语境。
6.句意:她们去同样的商店,看同样的电影,甚至作息时间也差不多。
固定搭配:watch movies意为“看电影”,watch(观看)符合语境。
7.句意:就算事情进展得不那么顺利,是什么让艾米依旧如此快乐?
固定搭配“things go well”意为“事情进展顺利”。这里指即使事情进展不顺利时,Amy也很快乐。助动词don’t后面用动词原形go符合语境。
8.句意:Susan想不出为什么Amy会如此快乐。
Susan想不通(不能想出)为什么Amy这么快乐。文章是过去时态,所以用couldn’t(不能)符合语境。
9.句意:当她就这件事询问Amy时,艾米说道:“我只是在有必要的时候才去做事。那样事情就变得很简单。”
Susan想不通,所以当她“问”Amy关于这件事时,Amy回答了。固定搭配:ask sb. about sth.意为“向某人询问某事”。时态是过去式,用asked(询问)符合语境。
10.句意:当她就这件事询问Amy时,艾米说道:“我只是在有必要的时候才去做事。那样事情就变得很简单。”
Amy解释说:“我只是在有必要的时候才做事情。”强调她不做多余的事,心态轻松,just(只是)符合语境。
11.句意:这两个朋友之间的区别是什么?
固定搭配“the difference between A and B”,意为“A和B之间的区别”。这里指这两个朋友之间的区别,between(在……之间)符合语境。
12.句意:苏珊的问题在于她给自己太大压力,不仅是身体上,还有思想上。
对应前面的physically(身体上),这里指心理或精神上的压力,即“头脑/精神”上的压力。与physically(身体)对应的是mind(思想)符合语境。
13.句意:她试图同时做很多事情,但是Amy用另一种方式处理事情。
前半句说Susan试图同时做很多事,后半句说Amy用另一种方式工作,前后形成对比转折关系。but(但是)符合语境。
14.句意:她一步一步地做事,一次只专注做一件事。
Amy一次只做一件事,说明她非常“专注”于这一件事,focuses on(专注于)符合语境。
15.句意:你的幸福由你自己决定。
文章最后总结:你的幸福由你自己来“决定”。这是一种常见的生活哲理表达。decide(决定)符合语境。

Passage 1
Army ants (行军蚁) are very interesting insects. They live in big 1 . A group can have millions of army ants.
These ants do not build permanent (永久的) homes. 2 , they move around a lot to find food. They eat other 3 animals like spiders. When they hunt, they walk in a long line. For this reason, people call them “army ants”—they 4 an army on the move!
Army ants have strong jaws (颚). Their jaws help them 5 food and cut it into small pieces. The worker ants 6 the food back to feed the group. There is also a queen (女王) ant in each group. Her 7 is to lay eggs (产卵) to keep the group large. Some animals are afraid of army ants, but others 8 them. These animals eat the insects that run away from the army ants.
Army ants are small, but they work very well together. Their 9 of working as a group helps them live in the wild. It’s 10 to see how such little animals can do big things! Watching them work together teaches us how powerful working as a team can be.

【导语】本文介绍了行军蚁的生活习性、捕食方式及团队合作的重要性,展现了小动物的巨大力量,说明了团结力量大的道理。
1.句意:它们生活在大的群体中。
后文紧接着提到“A group can have millions of army ants(一个蚁群可以有数百万只行军蚁)”,对应说明行军蚁是大群生活的,groups符合语境。areas“区域”,trees“树”,apartments“公寓”都不符合行军蚁的生活特征。
2.句意:相反,它们四处移动去寻找食物。
前文说“这些蚂蚁不建造永久巢穴”,后文说“它们四处移动去寻找食物”,是“不做A、反而做B”的反向替代关系,Instead(相反、反而)符合逻辑。However“然而”,表转折后通常要加逗号且侧重对比反差,Especially“尤其”、Besides“此外”都不符合此处逻辑。
3.句意:它们吃其他小动物,如蜘蛛。
行军蚁捕食蜘蛛这类其他小动物,small用来描述它们的常见猎物属性符合常识。powerful“强大的”,lively“活泼的”,similar“相似的”都不能用来准确修饰这里的猎物特征。
4.句意:出于这个原因,人们称它们为“行军蚁”——它们看起来像一支移动的军队!
前文提到它们捕猎时排成很长的队伍,所以被叫做“行军蚁”的原因是它们看起来就像一支移动的军队,look like(看起来像)符合句意。get out“出去”,look for“寻找”,search for“搜寻”都和名称由来的逻辑不匹配。
5.句意:它们的颚帮助它们捕捉食物并切成小块。
前文说行军蚁有强壮的颚,颚的作用首先是抓住猎物再把它切成小块,catch(抓住、捕获)符合功能描述。solve“解决”,pack“打包”,pull“拉”都不是颚的对应作用。
6.句意:工蚁把食物搬回来喂养整个蚁群。
工蚁把食物带回喂养整个蚁群,carry(搬运、携带)符合动作描述。expect“期待“,praise“赞扬”,touch“触碰”都不符合语境。
7.句意:她的职责是产卵以保持群体庞大。
蚁后的职责/角色是产卵来维持蚁群的规模,role(角色、作用)符合表达。habit“习惯”,idea“想法”,result“结果”都不符合蚁后的功能定位。
8.句意:有些动物害怕行军蚁,但另一些跟随它们。
前文说有些动物害怕行军蚁,转折后说另一些动物会跟着它们,这些动物就能吃掉从行军蚁爪下逃出来的昆虫,follow(跟随)符合逻辑。store“储存”,believe“相信”,matter“要紧”都不符合场景。
9.句意:它们团队合作的方式帮助它们在野外生存。
A 生活;B 方式;C 钥匙;D 思想。根据“of working as a group”可知,此处指团队合作的方式,way(方式、方法)符合搭配和语义。life“生活”,key“关键”,mind“头脑”都不能准确描述集体协作的这个行为模式。
10.句意:看到如此小的动物能做大事是令人惊叹的!
看到这么小的动物能完成了不起的事是很令人惊叹的,amazing(令人惊叹的)符合作者的赞叹语气。popular“流行的”,strange“奇怪的”,regular“常规的”都不符合此处的情感倾向。

We also learn about some interesting 6 about whales. Whales feed on sea life. Some eat seals (海豹) and fish and some eat sea plants. Whales can’t breathe under the sea themselves, 7 they need to jump out of water often.

【导语】本文介绍了作者参观海洋公园了解鲸鱼的情况,包括鲸鱼的种类、大小、习性以及保护鲸鱼的重要性。
1.句意:它们是鱼吗?
根据下文“but they aren’t fish”可知,此处询问是否是鱼,“fish鱼”符合语境。“plants植物;vegetables蔬菜;fruit水果”不符合语境。
2.句意:海洋公园的一位工作人员给我们解答道:“鲸鱼生活在海洋里,看起来像鱼。”
根据“but they aren’t fish”转折,说明外表相似,“look like看起来像”符合语境。“feel free感觉自由;care about关心;think alike想法相同”语意不通。
3.句意:看到这么大的鲸鱼,我们真的很惊讶。
见到巨大生物通常感到惊讶,“surprised惊讶的”符合语境。“sleepy困倦的;disappointed失望的;lively活泼的”不符合常理。
4.句意:另一位工人告诉我们:“蓝鲸是所有鲸鱼中最大的。大多数长度超过30米,每只重达约130吨。”
根据下文“biggest animals”可知,蓝鲸是所有鲸鱼中最大的,“biggest最大的”符合语境。“tallest最高的;fastest最快的;strongest最强壮的”与下文不符。
5.句意:另一位工人告诉我们:“蓝鲸是所有鲸鱼中最大的。大多数长度超过30米,每只重达约130吨。”
“130 tons”指重量,“weighs重”符合语境。“carries携带;lists列表;swims游泳”无法搭配吨位。
6.句意:我们也了解了一些关于鲸鱼的有趣事实。
下文介绍的是习性事实,“facts事实”符合语境。“stories故事;notes笔记;events事件”不符合科普内容。
7.句意:鲸鱼不能在水下呼吸,所以它们需要经常跳出水面。
前后是因果关系,“so所以”符合语境。“but但是;and和;or或者”逻辑不通。
8.句意:有些种类的鲸鱼处于危险之中,因为人们捕捉它们获取肉、脂肪和油。
捕鲸是为了获取产品,“catch捕捉”符合语境。“order命令;build建造;keep保持”语意不符。
9.句意:为了保护鲸鱼,人们应该停止杀戮,并且停止污染海洋。
停止杀戮是为了保护,“protect保护”符合语境。“kill杀;practice练习;prepare准备”与目的相反或无关。
10.句意:为了保护鲸鱼,人们应该停止杀戮,并且停止污染海洋。
鲸鱼生活在海洋中,“ocean海洋”符合语境。“land陆地;sky天空;mountains山脉”与鲸鱼生存环境无关。
