(2021·广州市高三调研)How affordable is high culture?One great myth (错误观念) of our time is that tickets for opera,theatre,ballets and orchestral(管弦乐的) concerts are too expensive,especially for the young.This is infuriating as,in Britain,at least,the claim is ridiculous and offensive.The cheap tickets to hear London's orchestras range from £7 to £9—the same as a cinema ticket,and lower than the entry price to many pop music and comedy clubs.For comparison,when the Los Angeles Philharmonic performs with top soloists and conductors the cheapest seat is £30; and at the Berlin Philharmonic it's an expensive £46.
Finding cheap tickets to the opera and ballet isn't so easy.Actually,British companies don't charge the ridiculously high prices found on the Continent (£2,000 for a good seat at the premiere of La Scala's Carmen,last December),but the tickets are still pretty steep.Large fees paid to star performers mostly account for that.Luckily,however,one spectacular technological innovation has transformed the scene.It's live cinema transmissions (节目播送).The Metropolitan Opera in New York now beams its shows to 800 cinemas round the world,and British companies aren't far behinD.Cinematic opera is excellent value.For the cost of a good bottle of wine (£10 or £15 for the Royal Opera House's shows),you can sit in your local movie house and see a high definition relay of what's occurring on the world's grandest stages.No,it's not the same as being there,but it's almost as gooD.The sound is incredible.The images of dancers are fantastiC.And you can react to the show as part of a live audience,rather than sitting on your own at home.

主题语境 人与社会——社会生活——野餐的好去处
(2021·合肥市高三调研性检测) We can confirm that there's nothing worse than being stuck in a sweaty office when the weather is glorious outside.Thankfully,there are loads of parks and grand green spaces in London for us to escape to for a lunchtime picnic break,an after work snack or a weekend long feast in the fresh air.
Kew Gardens
Some of the coolest picnic spots in the city are within the flowery borders of famous Kew Gardens.You have to pay to have a look around but it's totally worth it—especially to have a walk inside the newly reopened Temperate House,which is stuffed full of impressive and rare plants.Once you've spent on entry(£16.50),bringing a picnic will definitely save you some pennies.
Primrose Hill
It's easy to see why Primrose Hill is so popular during long and sleepy summer afternoons,thanks to those incredible views across the city.But it's not just the skyline that makes this a popular dining destination.The peak of Primrose Hill is also a short walk from Abbey Road and London Zoo.
Holland Park
Holland Park is often overshadowed by its royal neighbour Kensington Palace Gardens,but it's an undeniably picturesque picnic spot.There's a lot to see,from woodland and wildlife to sculpture and the Japanese style Kyoto Garden,plus there are tennis courts,football pitches and spots to play golf,cricket and netball.
Green Park
Enjoying a picnic in Green Park is guaranteed to be a lively affair.Visitors and locals alike flock here thanks to the park's rather famous neighbour.The Queen's gaff aside,Green Park has its own rather attractive scenery,with statues,water fountains and,in spring,daffodils as far as the eye can see.
5.What does the writer try to introduce to us
A.Sports fields. B.Picnic places.
C.Historical sites. D.Community parks.

主题语境 人与社会——社会热点——人们在双十一购物狂欢节热衷于购物的原因
Many people may feel lonely on Singles' Day,but at least they have “retail therapy(购物疗法)”.Starting in 2009,Double 11 Shopping Carnival has established a fabulous business miracle.Every year on that day,we flock into online shops,fill our carts and check out promptly.1.________ We buy because it makes us happy.For some people,if they're feeling blue,shopping will make them happier because it restores some control in their lives.It's making the choice to buy or not to buy that helps people feel more in control.2.________
Doing something we find rewarding stimulates the brain's pleasure center,which when activated leads to the release of dopamine(多巴胺),which makes us feel gooD.3.________ Experiments with the brain's dopamine release in pleasurable situations have found that expectations also leave us in a joyful atmosphere.In other words,we experience pleasure when we're looking forward to a fun event both during and after it.A trip to the mall is also enjoyable in our schedules for the weekenD.
4.________ Ryan Howell,an Associate Professor of Psychology at San Francisco State University said back in our hunting and gathering days,when people saw something they wanted,they'd grab it,even if they didn't need it,because it was likely that they wouldn't come across that item again.“If you see something that seems to be running in short supply,you're going to get it,” Howell saiD.These days,such scarcity isn't an issue.5.________ However,we often still approach life like our ancestors did,especially when it comes to sales.“When we see a 50% off clearance price tag,that scarcity impulse gets into gear,” Howell saiD.The feeling is that if we don't buy that item now,it's going to be gone forever—or at least at that good price.
With all the factors above,it is no wonder that Double 11 Shopping Carnival is called “the planet's biggest shopping event of the year”.
A.But why are we so keen on shopping
B.Retail therapy proves to be a useful and practical thing.
C.People expect far more than the usual shopping experience.
D.That's why we can even get addicted to the pleasure of buying.
E.We can buy nearly everything we want if we have the means.
F.Pleasure is not the only reason why we buy things we don't need at all.
G.After all,we can take part in the world's largest annual shopping activity.

4.Which statement would the author agree with

文章大意:很多人在“光棍节”可能感觉孤单,但至少他们有购物疗法。始于2009年的“双十一购物狂欢节”也因此不断地创造交易奇迹。本文主要分析了促使人们热衷于购物的因素。
1.解析:A 根据空后一句“We buy because it makes us happy.”可知,我们购物因为这让我们感到快乐,据此可推知,空处应是一个问句,A项“但是为什么我们如此热衷于购物?”符合语境。
2.解析:B 根据空处前两句,特别是其中的“if they're feeling blue,shopping will make them happier”“helps people feel more in control”可知,购物疗法被证明是一种有用且切实可行的方法,故B项正确。
3.解析:D 根据空前一句可知,做我们认为有益的事会刺激大脑的快乐中枢,当大脑的快乐中枢被激活时,它会引起让人感觉良好的多巴胺的释放;据此可知,空处承接上文,阐述人们对购物的乐趣入迷的原因,故D项符合语境。
4.解析:F 根据空处所在的位置可知,空处承上启下。上文表述了人们热衷于购物的原因之一:购物时,大脑的快乐中枢被激活进而释放的多巴胺会让人们体验到愉悦的感觉。结合该段内容可知,该段主要介绍了另一个人们热衷于购物的原因:看到特价促销,人们会忍不住购买,因为他们感觉如果现在不买,以后再也买不到了或再也不能以这样的价格买到了。据此可推知,F项“从购物中获得的愉悦并不是我们购买一点也不需要的物品的唯一原因”符合语境。
5.解析:E 根据空前一句,特别是“such scarcity isn't an issue”可知,空处应是说明这种物资短缺的现象已经不是一个问题的原因,故E项符合语境。

文章大意:考拉在澳大利亚大火中受难,人们解救了很多考拉。考拉虽已进化到可以和野火共存,但其正面临着不仅来自气候变化,而且来自人类发展的新威胁。在一些地方,考拉数量下降了80%,这对人类来说是一个警示。
1.解析:leaves 考查名词的单复数。leaf为可数名词,根据该句中的“of the eucalyptus(桉树)”并结合常识可知,树的叶子有很多,故用名词的复数形式。
2.解析:have been rescued 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。根据该句中的“have swept”和语境可知,此处应用现在完成时;koalas和动词rescue为被动关系,故用被动语态,且koalas为复数形式,故填have been rescued。
3.解析:to preserve 考查动词不定式。该处表示“将采取什么措施来保护生物多样性”,空处表示目的,故用动词不定式。
4.解析:increasingly 考查副词。副词修饰动词,空处修饰动词tending,应用副词形式。
5.解析:extinction 考查名词。该句意为:并且该国已经拥有世界上最高的物种灭绝率。根据语境并结合句意可知,空处应用名词形式。
6.解析:While/Though/Although 考查连词。该句意为:虽然考拉已经进化到可以与野火共存,但它们正面临着不仅来自气候变化,而且来自人类发展的新威胁。根据句意可知,此处应用While或Though或Although。
7.解析:breaking 考查现在分词。分析该句结构可知,主语It和动词break之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,故用break的现在分词形式。此处表示削弱了它们在火灾中生存的能力。
8.解析:by 考查介词。该句意为:科学家说,尽管很难知道全澳大利亚还有多少考拉存在,但在一些地区,考拉的数量已经减少了高达80%。根据句意并结合空后的“up to 80 percent”可知,此处应用介词by,表示数量。
9.解析:that/which 考查定语从句。分析该句结构可知,空处引导定语从句,在从句中作主语,先行词为these unique animals,故用that或which引导该定语从句。
10.解析:a 考查冠词。根据语境可知,此处表示这是一个警示,且wake up的发音以辅音音素开头,故用不定冠词a。
