A Room of One's Own
This essay by English writer Virginia Woolf is based on her several lectures given to two women's colleges at Cambridge University in 1928. In it, Woolf describes that it's circumstance not talent alone that allows men to be more successful at writing. Women, in other words, spend so much time cooking, cleaning, and tending to their children that they have no time left for art. To write well, therefore, a woman must have "a room of her own". While on its surface, this essay appears to be only about writing, it is actually about wealth and class, freedom and imprisonment, and the power struggle between sexes.
The Art of War
Written by ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Zi, The Art of War is widely considered to be one of the best books about military strategy(军事战略) in human history. Consisting of 13 chapters, each dealing with a separate aspect about how to fight a war, the book has been translated into many languages and has thousands of editions. For centuries, it has been used to train military leaders for its detailed study of military strategy and effective leadership.
Letter to My Daughter
This book of essays and poems by Maya Angelou, a respectable American poet, is written for "the daughter she never had"—the millions of women, both young and old, who she considers to be her "family". From the viewpoint of a caring, older relative, this book contains lessons selected from her own life experiences, including the birth of her only child, a son, as well as the development and loss of friendship.

Tang Dynasty poets sang for about were many famous poets living in the Tang period, such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi and Li Shangyin. Poems of the Tang Dynasty edited in the Qing Dynasty is a collection of more than 48, 900 poems that were written by over 2,200 poets. But it didn't cover all the poems of the Tang Dynasty.
During the Tang Dynasty, poems were recited when lovers walked under the moonlight. Poems were also recited when soldiers fought on the battlefield. People recited them in the open air or at temple fairs.
Tang Dynasty poets wrote poems to win fame and also to develop their temperament (性情). They poured out deep feelings for their friends and criticized injustice in the world through poems.
In the Tang Dynasty scholars had to be poets. Their readers were not only people of high social position but also common people. Poets recited poems, women singers sang poems and other ranks of people, including old women and children, read Tang poems. This atmosphere affected foreigners who visited the country at that time. As a result, Tang poetry was introduced to some adjacent countries, like Japan and Vietnam.
Tang poetry is a most brilliant page in the history of ancient Chinese literature. It's a miracle(奇迹) in the cultural history of mankind. The Tang Dynasty was a powerful empire with a vast territory. It inherited (继承) Chinese civilization that went back to ancient times, was combined with the best of other cultures and adopted the benefits of other nations in the world. Tang poetry wasn't the only spiritual wealth created by the Tang Dynasty people. Philosophy and religion, handwriting and painting, and music and dance all gained new peaks of development.

J. K. Rowling, the Harry Potter's author, has signed a deal with Little Brown Company to publish her first ever novel for adults, which is set to become one of the most anticipated (被期待的) books in years.
The deal means that Rowling's long-standing relationship with Bloomsbury, the London-based publisher that launched(发行) the Harry Potter books, has come to an end, at least in terms of new works by the author.
Rowling is keeping her fans guessing about the characters and plot of her new book. She only said that the new novel will be nothing like the Harry Potter series, which was sold over 30 million copies in the UK alone. She thought that with the move from children's to adult fiction, a switch to a new publisher seemed like a natural and reasonable step.
She said, "Although I've enjoyed writing it every bit as much, this book will be very different from the Harry Potter series. The freedom to explore a new field is a gift that Harry's success has brought me."
Ian Rankin, the Edinburgh-based author whose highly-successful detective novels are also set in the city, suggested Rowling's book will be a crime novel.
"Wouldn't it be funny if J. K. Rowling's first novel for adults turned out to be a crime story set in Edinburgh " he said.
Industry insiders guessed that the deal is worth more than 5 million and the new book is expected to come out later this year.
A spokesman said, "J, K. Rowling's audience is vast and her position is unique. Harry Potter books were a global success and her fans are very loyal. Children that were eight, nine, or ten when the books first came out in the 1990s are now in their 20s. Plenty of adults, loved the books regardless of whether they had children, so the potential market for her is huge."
1.What does the text mainly tell us
A.J. K. Rowling has signed a deal with a new publisher.
B. K. Rowling's new book will be more successful than her Harry Potter series.
C.J. K. Rowling has to switch to a new publisher in order to publish her new book.
D.J. K. Rowling's first book for adults will be published later this year.
2.J. K. Rowling's new book for adults _________.
A.has been sold 30 million copies in the UK alone
B.is poorly thought of by the London-based publisher Bloomsbury
C.has nothing in common with the Harry Potter series
D.is expected to bring her more money than the Harry Potter series
3.We can learn from the text that ________.
A.Little Brown Company is specialized in publishing adult books
B.the author has no doubt about the success of Rowling's new book
C. K. Rowling will be a crime novelist as good as Ian Rankin
D.it was in Edinburgh that Ian Rankin got to know J. K. Rowling
4.What the spokesman said in the last paragraph tells us that _________.
A.J. K. Rowling's fans are so loyal that they don't care what she will write
B.children won't have any interest in J. K. Rowling's new book
C.Rowling's vast audience and unique position will guarantee the new book's success
D.only readers of Harry Potter series will be interested in Rowling's new book

For the past five years, Paula Smith, a historian of science, has devoted herself to re-creating long-forgotten techniques. While doing research for her new book, she came across a 16th-century French manuscript(手稿) consisting of nearly 1,000 sets of instructions, covering subjects from tool making to finding the best sand.
The author's intention remains as mysterious(神秘) as his name; he may have been simply taking notes for his own records. But Smith was struck mainly by the fact that she didn't truly grasp any of the skills the author described. "You simply can't get an understanding of that handwork by reading about it," she says.
Though Smith did get her hands on the best sand, doing things the old-fashioned way isn't just about playing around with French mud. Reconstructing the work of the craftsmen (工匠) who lived centuries ago can reveal how they viewed the world, what objects filled their homes, and what went on in the workshops that produced them. It can even help solve present-day problems; In 2015, scientists discovered that a 10th-century English medicine for eye problems could kill a drug-resistant virus.
The work has also brought insights for museums, Smith says. One must know how an object was made in order to preserve it. What's more, reconstructions might be the only way to know what treasures looked like before time wore them down. Scholars have seen this idea in practice with ancient Greek and Roman statues. These sculptures were painted a rainbow of striking colours. We can't appreciate these kinds of details without seeing works of art as they originally appeared—something Smith believes you can do only when you have a road map.
Smith has put the manuscript's ideas into practice. Her final goal is to link the worlds of art and science back together. She believes that bringing the old recipes to life can help develop a kind of learning that highlights experimentation, teamwork, and problem solving.
Back when science—then called "the new philosophy"—took shape, academics looked to craftsmen for help in understanding the natural world. Microscopes and telescopes were invented by way of artistic tinkering(修补), as craftsmen experimented with glass to better bend light.
If we can rediscover the values of hands-on experience and craftwork, Smith says, we can marry the best of our modem insights with the handiness of our ancestors.
1.How did Smith feel after reading the French manuscript
A.Confused about the technical terms. B.Impressed with its detailed instructions.
C.Discouraged by its complex structure. D.Shocked for her own lack of hand skills.
2.According to Smith, the reconstruction work is done mainly to _________.
A.restore old workshops B.understand the craftsmen
C.improve visual effects D.inspire the philosophers
3.Why does the author mention museums
A.To reveal the beauty of ancient objects. B.To present the findings of old science.
C.To highlight the importance of antiques. D.To emphasise the values of hand skills.
4.Which would be the best title for this passage
A.Craftsmen Set the Trends for Artists B.Craftsmanship Leads to New Theories
C.Craftsmanship Makes Better Scientists D.Craftsmen Reshape the Future of Science

How Arts Promote Our Economy
When most people think of the arts, they imagine the end product, the beautiful painting, a wonderful piece of music, or an award-winning 1 in the theater. But arts groups bring broader value to our communities. The economic impact of the arts is often 2 and badly judged.
The arts create jobs that help develop the 3 . Any given performance takes a tour bus full of artists, technical experts, managers, musicians, or writers to create a(n) 4 piece of art. These people earn a living wage for their professional knowledge and skills.
Another group of folks is needed to help market the event. "If you build it they will come" is a misleading belief. Painters, digital media experts, photographers, booking agents and promoters are hired to sell tickets and 5 the event. According to the Dallas Area Cultural Advocacy Coalition, arts agencies employ more than 10,000 people as full- or part-time employees or independent 6 .
A 7 arts neighborhood creates a ripple effect (连锁反应) throughout a community. In 2005, when the Bishop Arts Theatre was donated to our town, the location was considered a poor area of town. After investing more than $ 1 million in 8 the building, we began producing a full season of theater performances, jazz concerts, and year-round arts education programs in 2008. Nearly 40 percent of jazz lovers live outside of the Dallas city limits and drive or fly in to enjoy an evening in the Bishop Arts District.
No doubt the theater has 9 the area's development and economic growth. Today, there are galleries, studios, restaurants and newly built work spaces where neighbors share experiences, where there is renewed life and energy. 10 , arts and culture also serve as a public good.
TeCo Theatrical Production Inc. made use of Bloomberg's investment of $ 35,000 to get nearly $40,000 in public and private sector support during the two-year period. Further, Dallas arts and arts-based business produce $ 298 for every dollar the city spends on arts programming and facilities. In Philadelphia, a metro area smaller than Dallas, the arts have an economic impact of almost $ 3 million and support 44,000 jobs, 80 percent of which actually lie 11 the arts industry, including accountants, marketers, construction workers, hotel managers, printers, and other kinds of art workers.
The arts are efficient economic 12 and when they are supported, the entire small-business community 13 .
It is wrong to 14 arts groups cannot make a profit. But in order to stay in business, arts groups must produce returns. If you are a student studying the arts, chances are you have been ill-advised to have a plan B. But those who 15 understand the economic impact and can work to change the patterns can create a wide range of career possibilities.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Missus Sommers one day found herself the unexpected owner of fifteen dollars. It seemed to her a very large amount of money. For a day or two she walked around in a dreamy state as she thought about her choices. Her daughter Janie was wearing worn shoes and needed new ones. She would buy cloth for new shirts for the boys. Her daughter Mag should have another dress. And still there would be enough left for new stockings for her children. The idea about how to spend the dollars made her restless with excitement.
On the day she planned to go shopping with the money, she ate a light meal—no! Between getting the children fed and the house cleaned, and preparing herself to go shopping, she forgot to eat at all!
When she arrived at the large department store, she spotted a pile of silk stockings at the entrance. A sign nearby announced that they had been reduced in price. A young girl behind the counter asked her if she wished to examine the silky leg coverings. She smiled as if she had been asked to inspect diamond jewelry, and started to feel the soft, expensive items. Missus Sommers picked up a black pair and looked at them closely. Two red marks suddenly showed on her pale face. She looked up at the shop girl and said proudly, "Well, I will buy this pair."
Missus Sommers changed her cotton stockings for the new silk ones in the ladies' rest area. She had let herself be controlled by some machine-like force that directed her actions and freed her of responsibility. How good was the touch of the silk on her skin! Then she put her shoes back on and put her old stockings into her bag. Next, she went to the shoe department, where she tried on a pair of new boots. Her foot and ankle looked lovely. She could not believe that they were a part of herself.
Paragraph 1:
After buying a pair of new boots, she walked into the clothing department. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
She was about to leave the store when a kid running around reminded her of something. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

第二节
答案：written; connections; is documented; Various; arose ; actively; when; a; its; on/upon
解析：本文是一篇说明文。文章简单介绍了中国古诗的些相关情况。
①考查非谓语动词。write与poetry之间是动宾关系,故用过去分词做后置定语。
②考查名词单复数。空前有形容词close,故空处填名词。connection在此表示"(两种事实、观念等的)联系,关联",是可数名词,故填名词的复数形式。
③考查动词时态和语态。document在此表示"记录,记载",是及物动词,document与existence之间是动宾关系,故用被动语态,且此处表示客观事实,要用一般现在时。
④考查形容词。句意:存在多种多样的形式和种类的结合体。空处修饰名词combinations,故填形容词Various。
⑤考查动词时态。句意:这些中的很多或者说大部分产生于晚唐。arise是不及物动词,根据时间状语"at the end of the Tang Dynasty"可知本句用一般过去时。
⑥考查副词。分析句子结构可知,空处修饰谓语动词continued,故用副词actively。
⑦考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,先行词是the year of 1919,空处在从句中做时间状语,故填when。
⑧考查冠词。a great deal of意为"大量的,许多的",是固定搭配,修饰不可数名词,故填a。
⑨考查代词。空处指代的对象是"classical Chinese poetry",且表示"……的",故填its。
⑩考查介词influence常与介词on/upon连用,表示"对……的影响"。

Paragraph 1:
After buying a pair of new boots, she walked into the clothing ing to a dressing mirror, looking at herself in the mirror. "Won't I look more beautiful if my shoes match a perfect dress on my body " thought Missus Sommers. Waving to the salesgirl of the department, she asked her whether she could try on the fashionable dress styles. With her request approved, Missus Sommers kept trying on. One dress after another, she put them into her shopping cart fondly.
Paragraph 2:
She was about to leave the store when a kid running around reminded her of something. "Oh, my God! I forgot all about my kids!" yelled Missus Sommers, starting to blame herself. "Excuse me, salesgirl, would you be so kind as to let me put back all I had chosen, for I had intended to buy my daughter Janie a new pair of shoes, boys' new shirts and all of them new stockings I must have lost my head!" A sense of responsibility of caring about her kids drove her to think of the right idea where the money should go.

A Room of One's Own
This essay by English writer Virginia Woolf is based on her several lectures given to two women's colleges at Cambridge University in 1928. In it, Woolf describes that it's circumstance not talent alone that allows men to be more successful at writing. Women, in other words, spend so much time cooking, cleaning, and tending to their children that they have no time left for art. To write well, therefore, a woman must have "a room of her own". While on its surface, this essay appears to be only about writing, it is actually about wealth and class, freedom and imprisonment, and the power struggle between sexes.

Poems of the Tang Dynasty edited in the Qing Dynasty is a collection of more than 48, 900 poems that were written by over 2,200 poets. But it didn't cover all the poems of the Tang Dynasty.
During the Tang Dynasty, poems were recited when lovers walked under the moonlight. Poems were also recited when soldiers fought on the battlefield. People recited them in the open air or at temple fairs.
Tang Dynasty poets wrote poems to win fame and also to develop their temperament (性情). They poured out deep feelings for their friends and criticized injustice in the world through poems.
In the Tang Dynasty scholars had to be poets. Their readers were not only people of high social position but also common people. Poets recited poems, women singers sang poems and other ranks of people, including old women and children, read Tang poems. This atmosphere affected foreigners who visited the country at that time. As a result, Tang poetry was introduced to some adjacent countries, like Japan and Vietnam.
Tang poetry is a most brilliant page in the history of ancient Chinese literature. It's a miracle(奇迹) in the cultural history of mankind. The Tang Dynasty was a powerful empire with a vast territory. It inherited (继承) Chinese civilization that went back to ancient times, was combined with the best of other cultures and adopted the benefits of other nations in the world.

J. K. Rowling, the Harry Potter's author, has signed a deal with Little Brown Company to publish her first ever novel for adults, which is set to become one of the most anticipated (被期待的) books in years.
The deal means that Rowling's long-standing relationship with Bloomsbury, the London-based publisher that launched(发行) the Harry Potter books, has come to an end, at least in terms of new works by the author.
Rowling is keeping her fans guessing about the characters and plot of her new book. She only said that the new novel will be nothing like the Harry Potter series, which was sold over 30 million copies in the UK alone. She thought that with the move from children's to adult fiction, a switch to a new publisher seemed like a natural and reasonable step.
She said, "Although I've enjoyed writing it every bit as much, this book will be very different from the Harry Potter series. The freedom to explore a new field is a gift that Harry's success has brought me."
Ian Rankin, the Edinburgh-based author whose highly-successful detective novels are also set in the city, suggested Rowling's book will be a crime novel.
"Wouldn't it be funny if J. K. Rowling's first novel for adults turned out to be a crime story set in Edinburgh " he said.
Industry insiders guessed that the deal is worth more than 5 million and the new book is expected to come out later this year.
A spokesman said, "J, K. Rowling's audience is vast and her position is unique. Harry Potter books were a global success and her fans are very loyal. Children that were eight, nine, or ten when the books first came out in the 1990s are now in their 20s. Plenty of adults, loved the books regardless of whether they had children, so the potential market for her is huge."
1.What does the text mainly tell us
A.J. K. Rowling has signed a deal with a new publisher.
B. K. Rowling's new book will be more successful than her Harry Potter series.
C.J. K. Rowling has to switch to a new publisher in order to publish her new book.
D.J. K. Rowling's first book for adults will be published later this year.
2.J. K. Rowling's new book for adults _________.
A.has been sold 30 million copies in the UK alone
B.is poorly thought of by the London-based publisher Bloomsbury
C.has nothing in common with the Harry Potter series
D.is expected to bring her more money than the Harry Potter series
3.We can learn from the text that ________.
A.Little Brown Company is specialized in publishing adult books
B.the author has no doubt about the success of Rowling's new book
C. K. Rowling will be a crime novelist as good as Ian Rankin
D.it was in Edinburgh that Ian Rankin got to know J. K. Rowling
4.What the spokesman said in the last paragraph tells us that _________.
A.J. K. Rowling's fans are so loyal that they don't care what she will write
B.children won't have any interest in J. K. Rowling's new book
C.Rowling's vast audience and unique position will guarantee the new book's success

For the past five years, Paula Smith, a historian of science, has devoted herself to re-creating long-forgotten techniques. While doing research for her new book, she came across a 16th-century French manuscript(手稿) consisting of nearly 1,000 sets of instructions, covering subjects from tool making to finding the best sand.
The author's intention remains as mysterious(神秘) as his name; he may have been simply taking notes for his own records. But Smith was struck mainly by the fact that she didn't truly grasp any of the skills the author described. "You simply can't get an understanding of that handwork by reading about it," she says.
Though Smith did get her hands on the best sand, doing things the old-fashioned way isn't just about playing around with French mud. Reconstructing the work of the craftsmen (工匠) who lived centuries ago can reveal how they viewed the world, what objects filled their homes, and what went on in the workshops that produced them. It can even help solve present-day problems; In 2015, scientists discovered that a 10th-century English medicine for eye problems could kill a drug-resistant virus.
The work has also brought insights for museums, Smith says. One must know how an object was made in order to preserve it. What's more, reconstructions might be the only way to know what treasures looked like before time wore them down. Scholars have seen this idea in practice with ancient Greek and Roman statues. These sculptures were painted a rainbow of striking colours. We can't appreciate these kinds of details without seeing works of art as they originally appeared—something Smith believes you can do only when you have a road map.
Smith has put the manuscript's ideas into practice. Her final goal is to link the worlds of art and science back together. She believes that bringing the old recipes to life can help develop a kind of learning that highlights experimentation, teamwork, and problem solving.
Back when science—then called "the new philosophy"—took shape, academics looked to craftsmen for help in understanding the natural world. Microscopes and telescopes were invented by way of artistic tinkering(修补), as craftsmen experimented with glass to better bend light.
If we can rediscover the values of hands-on experience and craftwork, Smith says, we can marry the best of our modem insights with the handiness of our ancestors.
1.How did Smith feel after reading the French manuscript
A.Confused about the technical terms. B.Impressed with its detailed instructions.
C.Discouraged by its complex structure. D.Shocked for her own lack of hand skills.
2.According to Smith, the reconstruction work is done mainly to _________.
A.restore old workshops B.understand the craftsmen
C.improve visual effects D.inspire the philosophers
3.Why does the author mention museums
A.To reveal the beauty of ancient objects. B.To present the findings of old science.
C.To highlight the importance of antiques. D.To emphasise the values of hand skills.
4.Which would be the best title for this passage
A.Craftsmen Set the Trends for Artists B.Craftsmanship Leads to New Theories
C.Craftsmanship Makes Better Scientists D.Craftsmen Reshape the Future of Science

How Arts Promote Our Economy
When most people think of the arts, they imagine the end product, the beautiful painting, a wonderful piece of music, or an award-winning 1 in the theater. But arts groups bring broader value to our communities. The economic impact of the arts is often 2 and badly judged.
The arts create jobs that help develop the 3 . Any given performance takes a tour bus full of artists, technical experts, managers, musicians, or writers to create a(n) 4 piece of art. These people earn a living wage for their professional knowledge and skills.
Another group of folks is needed to help market the event. "If you build it they will come" is a misleading belief. Painters, digital media experts, photographers, booking agents and promoters are hired to sell tickets and 5 the event. According to the Dallas Area Cultural Advocacy Coalition, arts agencies employ more than 10,000 people as full- or part-time employees or independent 6 .
A 7 arts neighborhood creates a ripple effect (连锁反应) throughout a community. In 2005, when the Bishop Arts Theatre was donated to our town, the location was considered a poor area of town. After investing more than $ 1 million in 8 the building, we began producing a full season of theater performances, jazz concerts, and year-round arts education programs in 2008. Nearly 40 percent of jazz lovers live outside of the Dallas city limits and drive or fly in to enjoy an evening in the Bishop Arts District.
No doubt the theater has 9 the area's development and economic growth. Today, there are galleries, studios, restaurants and newly built work spaces where neighbors share experiences, where there is renewed life and energy. 10 , arts and culture also serve as a public good.
TeCo Theatrical Production Inc. made use of Bloomberg's investment of $ 35,000 to get nearly $40,000 in public and private sector support during the two-year period. Further, Dallas arts and arts-based business produce $ 298 for every dollar the city spends on arts programming and facilities. In Philadelphia, a metro area smaller than Dallas, the arts have an economic impact of almost $ 3 million and support 44,000 jobs, 80 percent of which actually lie 11 the arts industry, including accountants, marketers, construction workers, hotel managers, printers, and other kinds of art workers.
The arts are efficient economic 12 and when they are supported, the entire small-business community 13 .
It is wrong to 14 arts groups cannot make a profit. But in order to stay in business, arts groups must produce returns. If you are a student studying the arts, chances are you have been ill-advised to have a plan B. But those who 15 understand the economic impact and can work to change the patterns can create a wide range of career possibilities.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Missus Sommers one day found herself the unexpected owner of fifteen dollars. It seemed to her a very large amount of money. For a day or two she walked around in a dreamy state as she thought about her choices. Her daughter Janie was wearing worn shoes and needed new ones. She would buy cloth for new shirts for the boys. Her daughter Mag should have another dress. And still there would be enough left for new stockings for her children. The idea about how to spend the dollars made her restless with excitement.
On the day she planned to go shopping with the money, she ate a light meal—no! Between getting the children fed and the house cleaned, and preparing herself to go shopping, she forgot to eat at all!
When she arrived at the large department store, she spotted a pile of silk stockings at the entrance. A sign nearby announced that they had been reduced in price. A young girl behind the counter asked her if she wished to examine the silky leg coverings. She smiled as if she had been asked to inspect diamond jewelry, and started to feel the soft, expensive items. Missus Sommers picked up a black pair and looked at them closely. Two red marks suddenly showed on her pale face. She looked up at the shop girl and said proudly, "Well, I will buy this pair."
Missus Sommers changed her cotton stockings for the new silk ones in the ladies' rest area. She had let herself be controlled by some machine-like force that directed her actions and freed her of responsibility. How good was the touch of the silk on her skin! Then she put her shoes back on and put her old stockings into her bag. Next, she went to the shoe department, where she tried on a pair of new boots. Her foot and ankle looked lovely. She could not believe that they were a part of herself.
Paragraph 1:
After buying a pair of new boots, she walked into the clothing department. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
She was about to leave the store when a kid running around reminded her of something. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

①根据空前的"the next step is making sure that you remember what you've read"和空后的"but the ideas, concepts and images may fly right out of your head"可知,阅读是重要的,但是你要确保记住所阅读的内容。你可能刚读过了文本,但并没有记住其中的思想、概念和形象。由此可知D项(记忆有时候是一件很困难的事情)符合上下文的衔接,所以选D项。

④由本段内容可知,大声读出来所阅读的材料并加以演绎也是一个技巧。本段又以狄更斯写作时演绎自己作品中的角色为例说明我们也可以这样做,所以选G项。

第二节
答案：written; connections; is documented; Various; arose ; actively; when; a; its; on/upon
解析：本文是一篇说明文。文章简单介绍了中国古诗的些相关情况。
①考查非谓语动词。write与poetry之间是动宾关系,故用过去分词做后置定语。
②考查名词单复数。空前有形容词close,故空处填名词。connection在此表示"(两种事实、观念等的)联系,关联",是可数名词,故填名词的复数形式。
③考查动词时态和语态。document在此表示"记录,记载",是及物动词,document与existence之间是动宾关系,故用被动语态,且此处表示客观事实,要用一般现在时。
④考查形容词。句意:存在多种多样的形式和种类的结合体。空处修饰名词combinations,故填形容词Various。
⑤考查动词时态。句意:这些中的很多或者说大部分产生于晚唐。arise是不及物动词,根据时间状语"at the end of the Tang Dynasty"可知本句用一般过去时。
⑥考查副词。分析句子结构可知,空处修饰谓语动词continued,故用副词actively。
⑦考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,先行词是the year of 1919,空处在从句中做时间状语,故填when。
⑧考查冠词。a great deal of意为"大量的,许多的",是固定搭配,修饰不可数名词,故填a。
⑨考查代词。空处指代的对象是"classical Chinese poetry",且表示"……的",故填its。
⑩考查介词influence常与介词on/upon连用,表示"对……的影响"。

Dear David,
I'm glad that you're interested in the fantastic live webcast of our Chinese Poetry Contest held from 7 pm to 9 pm on July 10th.

The contestants, all of whom were winners of class poetry contests, were required to recite as many ancient Chinese poems related to a given subject as possible. Whoever recited the most was the school champion. The contest, from which students benefited a lot, was well received by the whole school.
Best wishes!

第二节
答案：
Paragraph 1:
After buying a pair of new boots, she walked into the clothing ing to a dressing mirror, looking at herself in the mirror. "Won't I look more beautiful if my shoes match a perfect dress on my body " thought Missus Sommers. Waving to the salesgirl of the department, she asked her whether she could try on the fashionable dress styles. With her request approved, Missus Sommers kept trying on. One dress after another, she put them into her shopping cart fondly.
Paragraph 2:
She was about to leave the store when a kid running around reminded her of something. "Oh, my God! I forgot all about my kids!" yelled Missus Sommers, starting to blame herself. "Excuse me, salesgirl, would you be so kind as to let me put back all I had chosen, for I had intended to buy my daughter Janie a new pair of shoes, boys' new shirts and all of them new stockings I must have lost my head!" A sense of responsibility of caring about her kids drove her to think of the right idea where the money should go.
