主题语境 人与社会——体育运动——2022年北京冬奥会和冬残奥会吉祥物介绍
(2020·沈阳市高三质量监测) A cute panda “from the future” and a traditional red lantern signifying (表示) China's past were uncovered as the respective mascots (吉祥物) for the 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics on Tuesday.
Just over a year since submissions of proposals were first invited for the project，panda Bing Dwen Dwen and red lantern Shuey Rhon Rhon were revealed as the winners at Beijing's Shougang Ice Hockey Arena.
Bing Dwen Dwen is described as a panda wearing an icy shell that is stylized as a sports helmet.The outfit is similar to a spacesuit，so the panda can be imagined as a winter sports athlete from the future.Many details of the design refer to significant elements of Beijing 2022.A series of colored floating lines around its head resemble tracks on an ice rink，similar to one of the Games' venues—the National Speed Skating Oval，also known as the “Ice Ribbon”．
Bing means “ice”，which is a symbol of purity and toughness，in line with the spirit of the Olympics.Dwen suggests health and intelligence，with the repetition of the word giving it a more informal，friendly feel.Altogether，Bing Dwen Dwen is a representation of physical strength，mental toughness and the spirit of the Olympics.
Paralympic mascot Shuey Rhon Rhon is equally complex in its meaning.It resembles a Chinese red lantern，commonly seen on doors and streets during Chinese New Year，which in 2022 falls three days before the Olympic Winter Games opening ceremony.Red lanterns symbolize happiness，harvest and wealth，while the crown like “Ruyi” is a symbol of royal authority in Chinese culture.Shuey Rhon Rhon's head is adorned(装饰)with designs of pigeons by paper cutting.Their arrangement forms the shape of the Temple of Heaven，one of Beijing's most famous landmarks.The blush on the mascot's cheeks adds a festive feel，with the color red associated with good luck.
Shuey means “snow”，while Rhon Rhon are two different Chinese characters with the same pronunciation.The name symbolizes harmony and exchanges between different cultures，and building a community with a shared future.

主题语境 人与自我——个人经历——参观文艺复兴之城
I'm interested in the Renaissance (文艺复兴)，so I like visiting ancient Italian cities.Ferrara is called City of the Renaissance.When I learned about this city on the Internet，I decided to pay a visit to it.
The city has a certain charm，but I find it isn't as great as other Italian cities like Verona，let alone Venice or Rome.The Michelin Green Guide gives it two stars，which is right.
I first visited the city centre.The Cathedral and Castello Estense are at the heart of the city.Both have striking appearances.I visited the Cathedral first.Castello Estense is also worth visiting，which owes its name to the powerful Este family.It was built with bricks and surrounded by a moat(护城河).At the lower levels，the history of the city and the Este family are told through displays，and in another part the ceilings are shown through mirrors on the ground.
In the north，we can appreciate the Renaissance extension of the town，with straight streets and monumental houses.The famous Palazzo dei Diamanti lies here.When I was visiting it，it started to rain，so after taking a few photos quickly，I cut my visit there short.It had been raining for a few days.When the rain ceased，I went to visit the historical centre and the Renaissance buildings.
After leaving there，I visited several other interesting places such as palaces and the narrow streets of the downtown.After four hours in Ferrara I left by train to Mantua.There I had a much better time.

主题语境 人与自我——做人与做事——英勇救人的Mike
I served as a Newport Beach ocean lifeguard in Orange County，California.Late in a shift，another lifeguard，Mike，phoned me，“Hey，I got a couple of kids playing close to the dangerous water section.I'm going to give them a 1 ．Keep an eye out for anything unusual.”

Mike had a 10 growing experience.His frightening tattoos(文身)and shaved head with scars showed he wasn't the 11 lifeguard on the beach.I 12 ，I didn't really get along with Mike.But everything he 13 in PR(公关)skills was made up for in his saving ability.If any other lifeguard had been 14 that night，there would have been a very good 15 that the mother wasn't going home with both her kids.
I couldn't 16 the depth of her terror and her assessment of Mike.Maybe he wasn't her idea of a knight in shining armor.But that didn't change the fact that he had just 17 her kids.
That was over ten years ago.If you ask Mike about it today，I doubt if he'll still remember，but I won't 18 ．As I jogged back to work that day，I 19 myself I'd never let my own fear and 20 prevent me from recognizing a hero when I see one.
文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文。作者是纽波特的一名海洋救生员，在一次轮班时，他的同事Mike救了两个落水的孩子，但孩子的母亲却因Mike身上的文身和头上的疤，连一句感谢的话都没有说就走了。作者通过这个故事告诉我们，不要因为他人的外貌而对其产生偏见，他们可能是英雄。
1．A.lesson B．choice
C．warning D．gift
解析：C 根据上文Mike在电话中谈到“I got a couple of kids playing close to the dangerous water section.”(我看到两个孩子在危险水域附近玩耍)可知，Mike是想给他们一个警告(warning)。
2．A.hung up B．turned up
C．called up D．came up
解析：A 根据上文内容可知，Mike给作者打电话说他要去给在危险水域附近玩耍的孩子一个警告，此处应是他一挂电话，一股巨浪就把两个孩子吞没了。hang up“挂断电话”；turn up“到达，来到”；call up“打电话给”；come up“走上前”。
3．A.realized B．discussed
C．confirmed D．recovered
解析：A 结合语境可知，他们的妈妈意识到(realized)发生的事情，就四处走动着大叫。
4．A.whispering B．fighting
C．arguing D．screaming
解析：D 参见上题解析。
5．A.slipped B．sank
C．dived D．fell
解析：C 根据该句中的“pull them up”可知，Mike一头扎进深水里把他们拉了出来。dive“跳水”符合题意。
6．A.excited B．tired
C．confused D．annoyed
解析：B 根据语境并结合常识可知，落水后人们会在水里挣扎，故此处表示两个孩子累得不能走路了。
7．A.leg B．arm
C．shoulder D．foot
解析：B 根据该句中的“so Mike was carrying them”可推知，Mike抱着他们，一个手臂下面夹着一个，此处用arm最合适。
8．A.Obviously B．Fortunately
C．Gradually D．Suddenly
解析：D 根据空前一句并结合下文中的“She rushed to seize her kids and left”可知，突然，这位母亲感到一种新的恐慌。
9．A.threat B．anxiety
C．surprise D．fear
解析：A 根据下文中的“She rushed to seize her kids and left”可推知，这位母亲感觉到好像有某种新的且同样危险的事物威胁着孩子的生命。
10．A.caring B．rough
C．normal D．steady
解析：B 根据下文中的“His frightening tattoos(文身)and shaved head with scars”可推知，Mike有过一段艰难的成长经历。
11．A.patient B．dull
C．friendly D．strange
解析：C 他的令人害怕的文身还有带着伤疤的光头让人觉得他不是一个友好的(friendly)救生员。
12．A.admitted B．believed
C．knew D．expected
解析：A 根据空后的“I didn't really get along with Mike.”可知，作者承认自己没有和Mike真正和睦相处过。
13．A.owed B．lacked
C．allowed D．required
解析：B 根据该句中的“was made up for in his saving ability”可推知，Mike缺乏公关技巧。
14．A.on duty B．on time
C．in turn D．in vain
解析：A 根据语境可知，要是那天晚上是任何其他的救生员值班(on duty)的话，这位母亲很有可能就不会带着两个孩子回家了。
15．A.honor B．doubt
C．chance D．fact
解析：C 参见上题解析。chance在此意为“可能性”。
16．A.predict B．imagine
C．receive D．follow
解析：B 根据上文对Mike的描写以及那位母亲看到Mike的反应可推知，作者无法想象(imagine)这位母亲内心恐惧的程度以及她是如何评价Mike的。
17．A.returned B．stopped
C．frightened D．saved
解析：D 根据语境可知，这不能改变Mike确定救了(saved)她的孩子的事实。
18．A.regret B．ignore
C．remind D．forget
解析：D 根据该句中的“I doubt if he'll still remember”可知，如果你今天问Mike关于这件事的情况，“我”不敢肯定他是否还记得，但是“我”不会忘记(forget)。
19．A.comforted B．changed
C．promised D．devoted
解析：C 根据语境可知，那天回去工作的时候，作者向自己保证，绝不能让自己的恐惧和偏见(prejudice)阻止自己去认可一个英雄。
