三、阅读理解
Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were two young men from Germany who loved a good story.As university students,they became interested in folktales—traditional stories that people memorized and told again and again.They began to collect traditional folktales from storytellers all over Germany.Many were similar to stories told in France,Italy,Japan,and other countries.Between 1812 and 1814,the brothers published two books in German.These included stories like Hansel and Gretel and Little Red Riding Hood.
Despite the fact that Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm are often associated with Snow White and Rapunzel,the brothers didn't actually write any of those stories.In fact,the stories existed long before the two men were born in Germany in the mid 1780s.The fairy tales,in fact,were part of a rich oral tradition—passed down from generation to generation,often by women seeking to pass the time during household chores.In 1812,Jacob and Wilhelm published the stories as part of a collection titled Nursery and Household Tales, or what is now known as Grimm's Fairy Tales.
The Grimm brothers' tales were about traditional life and beliefs.For example,forests are common in Germany,and this image often appears in the Grimms' stories.In the past,many people believed forests were dangerous places.In the Grimms' stories,a forest is the home of evil witches,talking animals,and other magical beings.
Although most people today think of these stories as fairy tales for children,the brothers first wrote them for adults.Many of their early tales were dark and a little scary.Later,the brothers changed the text of some of the original stories.They “softened” many of the tales and added drawings.This made them more appropriate(合适的) for children.Like the early tales,though,each story still has a moral:work hard,be good,and listen to your parents.
Actually,university trained philologists (语言学者) and librarians,Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published more than fairy tales.They wrote books about mythology,and published scholarly works on linguistics and medieval studies.

A.To compare the Grimms' stories to modern children's stories.

C.They became interested in folktales as students.
D.They travelled to many countries to collect stories.
3.Which of the following best explains “moral”underlined in Paragraph 4

C.story D.message
4.What do we know about the Grimms' stories
A.The later stories had morals,like the early ones.
B.The early stories were written for children.
C.The early stories had a lot of drawings.
D.The later stories reflected German life,but the early ones didn't.

1.D 主旨大意题。通读全文,特别是根据第一段中的“Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were two young men from Germany who loved a good story.As university students,they became interested in folktales—traditional stories that people memorized and told again and again.They began to collect traditional folktales from storytellers all over Germany.”以及下文可知,文章主要介绍了格林兄弟及其作品。
2.C 细节理解题。由第一段第二句话“As university students,they became interested in folktales—traditional stories”可知,当他们还是学生的时候,就对民间故事非常感兴趣。
3.D 词义猜测题。根据上文可知,格林童话和早期民间故事一样,教人们努力、善良、听父母的话,这属于道德方面的,所以只有D项表示传达了这个意思,故选D。
4.A 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Like the early tales,though,each story still has a moral:work hard,be good,and listen to your parents.”可知,格林童话的故事和早期一样,都有寓意。
四、语法填空
1.an 考查冠词。句意:钟南山,一位因在17年前抗击SARS病毒中“敢于说话”而家喻户晓的83岁医生,他是中国努力控制新型冠状病毒的公众人物之一。”此处泛指一位83岁的医生,83 year old以元音音素开头,用不定冠词an。故填an。
2.against 考查介词。句意见上题。此处意为“抗击”,in the fight against(与……对抗中)。故填against。
3.images 考查名词的数。one of +可数名词复数,意为“……中之一”,image是可数名词,此空用名词复数形式。故填images。
4.to lead 考查动词不定式。固定搭配be appointed to do sth.(被任命做某事),此处用动词不定式(to do)。故填to lead。
5.making 考查现在分词。本句已有谓语was appointed,且无连词,此空用非谓语形式,主语Zhong和动词make之间是主谓关系,用现在分词(doing)表主动,作状语。故填making。
6.dangerous 考查形容词。the ________ (danger) virus是从句主语,此处用形容词作定语,修饰名词virus。故填dangerous。7.whose 考查非限制性定语从句关系词。此处是非限制性定语从句,先行词是A lot of white uniformed nurses and doctors,在从句中与名词短语selfless devotion是所属关系,先行词作selfless devotion的定语,意为“很多穿着白色制服的护士和医生的无私奉献”,应用关系代词whose。故填whose。
8.confidence 考查名词。此处用名词作谓语has shown的宾语,与and后面的名词capacity在语法结构上保持一致。故填confidence。
9.has been displayed 考查时态和语态。句意:人民对国家的责任感充分地被体现在这次联手抗击疫情的战斗中。此处指过去发生的抗击疫情对现在产生的影响,应用现在完成时,此空应与本段其他谓语时态保持一致,如has shown、has not be shadowed,主语The people's sense of responsibility to the country和谓语之间是被动关系,应用现在完成时的被动语态(has/have been done),主语是抽象名词,谓语用单数。故填has been displayed。
10.clearly 考查副词。该空修饰动词短语benefit from,用副词,此空用副词形式。故填clearly。
