2.Shortly after suffering from a ________ (mass) earthquake and being reduced to ruins, the city
took on a new look.
massive
解析 句意为:这座城市在遭受了强烈的地震并沦为废墟之后不久,面貌便焕然一新。设空处修饰名词应用形容词,由句意可知,设空处表示“非常严重的”,故填massive。
3.A fit body is one that can perform daily tasks without getting tired and __________ (breath).
breathless
解析 句意为:一个健康的身体是指一个人可以完成日常工作而不会感到很疲倦和喘不过气来。设空处与tired并列作表语,意为“气喘吁吁的;喘不过气来的”。故填形容词breathless。
4.Mr Green was very famous when he lived there.There is bound ______ (be) someone in that
district who remembers him.
to be
解析 句意为:格林先生住在那里的时候非常有名,那个地区一定有人记得他。there is bound to be… 意为“一定有……”。故填to be。
5.The explorer could not even strike a match, _______ (freeze) after the long journey on the freezing

8.____ is typical of modern novels, the plot isn't very important; instead the emphasis is on how
characters react to ordinary events.
As
解析 句意为:正如现代小说的典型特征,故事情节不是非常重要,重点在于角色对日常事件的反应。 _____ is typical of modern novels在此是非限制性定语从句,关系词指代主句全部内容,在从句中作主语,which引导的非限制性定语从句只能置于主句之后,所以应用关系代词As。
9.It was not until the train pulled into the station _____ he found his suitcase gone.

10.With temperatures __________ (average) 19℃ in the area, the weather is always cool and pleasant.
averaging
解析 句意为:该地区平均气温为19摄氏度,天气凉爽宜人。此处作With复合结构中的宾语补足语,average在此处为连系动词,意为“平均为”,与该结构中的宾语temperatures之间是逻辑上的主动关系,所以应用现在分词形式。故填averaging。

【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者的西藏之旅。
1._______
but/yet
解析 句意为:西藏是我渴望去游览的地方,但是那里距离遥远,我也无法抽身,这推迟了我的旅行。根据句意可知,空前半句表示作者渴望去西藏,空后半句表示作者没有前去,故可推断设空处前后为转折关系;根据句子结构可判断此处为并列句,应填表示转折的并列连词。故填but/yet。
2.____
the
解析 句意为:去年夏天,我和哥哥终于决定去那里旅行。设空处修饰名词trip,根据语境可知,此处特指前面提到的西藏之旅,应用定冠词the修饰。故填the。
3.______________
were rewarded
解析 句意为:这次旅行当然花了一些时间,但一路上我们收获了最美丽的景色,结交了很多朋友,所有这些花费都比坐飞机要低。分析句子可知,设空处在第二个分句中作谓语,此处描述的是过去的事情,应用一般过去时;根据语境可判断,此处表达“我们得到回报”,reward和we之间是被动关系,即be rewarded with sth,意为“得到回报”。主语为复数,故填were rewarded。
4.______
lower
解析 句意见上一题解析。设空处修饰名词cost,应填形容词作定语,又根据空后的than可知,此处表示比较含义,应用形容词的比较级,故填lower,表示“更低的”。
5._______
widely
解析 句意为:我们开始了拉萨之旅,广泛游览了布达拉宫。设空处修饰现在分词exploring,应用副词作状语,表示“广泛地”。故填widely。
6._______
which
解析 句意为:我们在拉萨其中一家最好的餐厅吃了一顿很棒的午餐,在那里可以俯瞰大昭寺的美丽景色。分析句子结构可知,空前的句子成分完整,空后的句子缺少主语,且空后的内容修饰限定的是one of the best restaurants in Lhasa,由此可判断设空处引导非限制性定语从句,关系词在从句中作主语,指物,应用which来引导该从句。
【方法总结】分析定语从句的关键三点
第一,找准先行词;第二,看关系词在定语从句中所作的成分; 第三,选择关系代词或者关系副词。先行词往往是名词、代词或者句子,如本题中先行词为one of the best restaurants in Lhasa,再分析关系词在定语从句中所作的成分可知,关系词在从句中作主语,关系词引导的是非限制性定语从句,因此选择关系代词which。
7.__________
to admire
解析 句意为:一路上我们停下来欣赏羊卓雍措湖。结合句意可知,此处表示“停下来去做某事”,应用固定搭配stop to do sth。stop doing sth表示“停下正在做的事”。故填to admire。
8.___________
description
解析 句意为:它的美无法形容。此处表示“无法形容;难以形容”,应用固定表达beyond description。故填description。
9._______
headed
解析 句意为:我们直接开车到了大本营旁边的一家家庭旅馆,放下行李后,我们直奔珠穆朗玛峰。分析句子可知,and连接两个并列谓语,根据语境和空前的drove可知,此处也应用一般过去时,表示“(向……)去”。故填headed。
10.___________
astonishing
解析 句意为:山顶从云层中露出来,以其令人难以置信的高度使我们惊叹不已。句子已有谓语动词emerged,逗号后面部分是状语,所以设空处应填非谓语动词,astonish与其逻辑主语之间为主动关系,应用现在分词形式。故填astonishing。

As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins (企鹅) longing to say hello.These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.
Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel.Throughout her career (职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further.When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take the plunge.
After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile.And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the
southernmost tip of the South American mainland.“I just decided I wanted to go,” she says.“I had no idea about what I'd find there and I wasn't nervous.I just wanted to do it.And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.”
In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she'd never met before, to begin the journey towards Antarctica.“From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises, the whole experience was amazing.Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has,” Ginni says.“I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale; it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us.You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.”
The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.
【语篇导读】本文主要介绍了热爱旅行的金尼在退休之后开始环游世界,并在2008年进行了令她难忘的南极洲之旅。
1.Which of the following best explains “take the plunge” underlined in paragraph 2 ( )
A
A.Try challenging things. B.Take a degree.
C.Bring back lost memories. D.Stick to a promise.
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词组所在句的前一句中的she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further以及画线词组所在句可知,金尼曾在英国旅行,但一直想要进一步探索世界,现在她已经退休,儿子们也已离家自立,她认为是时候做自己一直想做的事情了。再根据第三段对金尼环游世界的介绍并结合选项可知,画线词组指尝试做一些具有挑战性的事情。故选A项。B项意为“攻读学位”;C项意为“找回失去的记忆”;D项意为“信守承诺”。
2.What made Ginni decide on the trip to Antarctica ( )
C
A.Lovely penguins. B.Beautiful scenery. C.A discount fare. D.A friend's invitation.
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句中的And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica 和“I just decided I wanted to go,” she says.可知,她在智利的时候发现她可以买到去南极洲的便宜的船票,所以她决定去南极洲,即折扣票价让她决定去南极洲旅行。C项“A discount fare”意为“折扣票价”,符合文意。故选C项。
3.What does Ginni think about Antarctica after the journey ( )
C
A.It could be a home for her. B.It should be easily accessible.
C.It should be well preserved. D.It needs to be fully introduced.
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.可知,金尼意识到南极洲是一个珍贵的地方,应该被人类尊重。由此可推知,金尼在去南极洲旅行之后,认为南极洲应该被好好保护。故选C项。
4.What is the text mainly about ( )
B
A.A childhood dream. B.An unforgettable experience.
C.Sailing around the world. D.Meeting animals in Antarctica.
解析 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了爱好旅行的主人公金尼在退休之后开始环游世界,以及偶然得到机会去南极洲旅行的经历,最后两段主要介绍了她在南极洲的所见所闻以及自己的感想。由此可知,B项(一次难忘的经历)符合文意。故选B项。

1.___
E
解析 根据前文中的Think about it, with what little vacation time we have these days, don't you want your vacation to be the kind that you remember forever and talk about for years to come 及空后一句“这里有一些处理所有信息的方法,可以帮助你计划你的假期”可知,设空处承上启下,应是讲述要有一个精彩的假期需要计划,E项“但是,如果没有正确的计划,那可能不会发生”符合语境,并且E项中的that指代空前一句内容,故选E项。
2.___
A
解析 设空处是段落小标题,根据本段中的Road trip games are always a great idea及Creating your own soundtrack is another key to a fun road trip.可知,本段主要讲述公路旅行中要有游戏和歌曲,A项“准备一些游戏和歌曲”符合语境。
3.___
G
解析 根据本段小标题Pack for your trip.可知,本段内容与收拾行李有关;空前一句This road trip planning guide covers every kind of trip from camping to family to spring break to romantic.是讲述旅行计划指南所涉及的内容,G项“还有一些关于打包行李箱和创建装箱单的建议”也是其内容,故G项承接上文内容,符合语境,且G项中的packing和a packing list与小标题中的Pack相呼应,故选G项。
4.___
F
解析 根据段落小标题Save money.可知,本段是讲述旅行费用问题,会提到费用的高低,所以F项“有些人可能会说,‘公路旅行本身不便宜吗?’”符合文意,空后的Not necessarily.是对F项的回答,表示“公路旅行本身不一定是便宜的”,与下文中的“这里有些建议可以帮你省钱,让你的假期更实惠”衔接自然,故选F项。
5.___
C
解析 空前一句提到“我从孩童时期就去世界各地旅行,已经学会了从旅行中得到最大的好处”,所以设空处应是接着讲述旅行的好处,结合空后的“它也是一种内心的旅行”可知,C项“旅行不仅仅是去一个地方”符合文意。

解析 句意为:打太极的人往往能更好地集中注意力,并感到快乐和放松。relaxed意为“放松的”,其主语常为人;relaxing意为“令人放松的”,其主语常为事物。此句主语是People。故填relaxed。
4.When we talk, we often make hand movements _______ (call) gestures at the same time.
called
解析 句意为:当我们说话时,我们经常同时做手部动作,手部动作被称为手势。call与其逻辑主语hand movements之间是被动关系,所以此处用过去分词短语作定语。故填called。
5.It is ___________ (astonish) that Charlie was taught to sing as soon as he could speak and dance
as soon as he could walk.
astonishing
解析 句意为:查利一会说话就学习唱歌,一会走路就学习跳舞,真是令人惊讶。astonishing意为“令人惊讶的”,其主语常为事物。astonished意为“惊讶的”,其主语常为人。此句中It作形式主语,that引导的从句作真正主语,所以设空处形容事物。故填astonishing。
6.The Chinese wedding invitation is typically red with the Double Happiness symbol, with the date for
the wedding and names of the couple _________ (include) inside.
included
解析 句意为:中国的婚礼请柬通常是红色的,带有双喜标志,内有婚礼日期和夫妇姓名。此处是with复合结构,include与其逻辑主语the date和names之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词作宾语补足语。故填included。
7.He doesn't speak much English but he can make himself ___________ (understand).
understood
解析 句意为:他不怎么会说英语,但他能把自己的意思说清楚。understand与其逻辑主语himself之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词作宾语补足语。故填understood。
8.Many scientific studies have shown that people _________ (spend) at least two hours a week in
nature have better health than before.
spending
解析 句意为:许多科学研究表明,每周在大自然中至少待两个小时的人,身体比以前好。spend与其逻辑主语people之间是主动关系,此处用现在分词短语作定语。故填spending。
9.__________________ (ask) to work overtime that evening, I missed a wonderful film.
Having been asked
解析 句意为:因为那天晚上被要求加班,所以我错过了一部精彩的电影。ask与其逻辑主语I之间是被动关系,且ask表示的动作发生在句子谓语missed表示的动作之前,所以设空处用现在分词的完成被动式。故填Having been asked。
10._______ (ask) how he broke into the room, he made no answer.
Asked
解析 句意为:当他被问到是怎么闯进房间的,他没有回答。ask与其逻辑主语he之间是被动关系,ask表示的动作与句子谓语表示的动作同时发生,此处用过去分词短语作状语。故填Asked。
【易混辨析】过去分词、现在分词的被动式和现在分词的完成被动式作状语时的区别
分 词 用 法
过去分词 过去分词与其逻辑主语之间为被动关系,表示动作已经完成。
现在分词的被动式 现在分词的被动式表示分词与其逻辑主语之间为被动关系,表示
动作正在进行。
现在分词的完成被动式 现在分词的完成被动式表示分词的动作发生在谓语动词的动作之

In a recent e-mail to an old friend, I mentioned that our family planned on taking our four-week road trip in our motor home.My friend e-mailed back and said he thought I was very “brave” to set out on such an adventure with two young children (aged two and five).I laughed when I read his e-mail and wondered if he knew how much he was missing out on by giving up the idea of such a fun RV trip (房车旅行) with one's family.
My husband and I have been “RVing” for over ten years.When we first started travelling, we certainly had some troubles that were not so funny at the time but seem to be funny now.We forgot our pillows and failed to cook dinner on an outdoor grill (烤架) for lack of a flashlight.Then we decided to make our dinner in the motor home but could not get the oven lit! So we went to bed a little hungrier than we had planned!
However, that's nothing compared with the amazing geological and natural wonders we experienced during our RV trips.In addition, we have discovered a new world of family fun and family bonding.We saw the Grand Canyon when our son was only six months old.We play games inside and out, walk together, talk together, read, solve puzzles, and enjoy music and movies.We have got used to doing things with one another.Our kids love to pick out good, old-fashioned postcards to send off via “snail mail” to different family members on every trip.
As our world gets more and more overloaded with cellphones, text messages, e-mails and video games, our family sticks more and more tightly to the wonderfully simple idea of unplugging (拔掉电源插头) for a while and jumping into the seat to take a trip in our motor home.Then we come home with fun pictures of our wanderings, and we're able to build special memories for our kids.Now we want to spread the word and tell families of all kinds what enjoyment can be had from packing up for a family trip in the RV.

The Arctic, Atlantic, Indian and Pacific are the four oceans we learnt about in the geography class.But now we have a new ocean.On World Oceans Day, which fell on June 8, 2021, the National Geographic Society, a non-profit scientific and educational organisation, announced it would recognise the Southern Ocean in Antarctica, bringing the global total to five.
Unlike the Arctic, Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans which are defined (界定) by the continents that bound them, the Southern Ocean is instead characterised by the Antarctic ocean currents and temperatures.According to the National Geographic Society, the Southern Ocean includes most of the waters surrounding Antarctica, out to 60 degrees south latitude.
Those familiar with the Southern Ocean know it's unlike any other.“Anyone who has been there will struggle to explain what's so fascinating about it, but they'll all agree that the glaciers are bluer, the air colder, the mountains more mysterious and the landscapes more beautiful than anywhere else you can go,” Seth Sykora-Bodie, a marine (海洋的) scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, said.
Due to the ecologically distinct environment of the Southern Ocean, it's home to thousands of unique species.The ocean also has wider ecological effects.The National Geographic Society hopes their revised maps will bring public awareness to the region, thereby encouraging the Southern Ocean conservation—but its significance is beyond that.“We think it's really important from an educational standpoint, as well as from a map-labelling standpoint, to bring attention to the Southern Ocean as a fifth ocean,” Alex Tait, the National Geographic Society's geographer, said.“So when students learn about parts of the ocean world, they learn it's an interconnected ocean, and they learn there are these regions called oceans that are really important, and there's a distinct one in the icy waters around Antarctica.”
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。美国国家地理学会宣布,南极洲周围海域被称为南大洋,并正式承认南大洋为世界第五大洋。南大洋将与世界公认的四大洋——大西洋、太平洋、印度洋和北冰洋——并称为“世界五大洋”。

解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的On World Oceans Day, which fell on June 8, 2021, the National Geographic Society, a non-profit scientific and educational organisation, announced it would recognise the Southern Ocean in Antarctica, bringing the global total to five.可知,世界第五大洋在2021年世界海洋日这一天被承认,这是这一天的特别之处。故选B。

“The failure to play is now a serious issue and it calls for action for change,” warns Sir Ken Robinson, a leading expert in education, creativity and human development.This is the driving force behind Outdoor Classroom Day—a global teacher-led campaign, supported by a brand Dirt Is Good.
Outdoor Classroom Day, taking place on two dates each year, will see schools around the world swap the inside for the outside and take learning into the playground and beyond to make playtime a key part of the school day.This might involve using natural objects like stones to do sums, or going on an insect hunt to stimulate curiosity.By now, Outdoor Classroom Day has grown from a grass-roots movement to a global campaign that is expected to benefit five million children and over 40,000 schools from all around the world.
This is helping to change the trend that sees many schools selling up or building on their playgrounds and cutting back on playtime to make more room for academic studies, while at home children's lives are increasingly filled with organised activities intended to help them learn.Today globally 61% of parents surveyed in the Dirt Is Good Qualitative Study said that children don't know how to play without using technology.
Outdoor Classroom Day is making playtime happen, with 22% of participating schools having increased their playtime since joining the campaign.93% of teachers surveyed saw improvements in children's creativity after playing outside, and 97% believe that time spent outdoors is necessary for children to reach their full potential.
Scientific studies show that real play—the active, physical, self-directed play—is essential for children to develop key life skills that are not taught elsewhere.Few would question the value of developing creativity, leadership, resourcefulness, and curiosity.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了一项名为“户外课堂日”的活动,这项活动旨在通过增加孩子们的玩耍时间来提高他们的创造力,充分发挥他们的潜力。
1.What do children do on Outdoor Classroom Day ( )
C
A.Have PE classes on playgrounds. B.Have a day off and go playing anywhere.
C.Learn and play by using natural things outside. D.Play on their own without the teachers' guidance.
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的Outdoor Classroom Day… swap the inside for the outside and take learning into the playground and beyond to make playtime a key part of the school day.This might involve using natural objects like stones to do sums, or going on an insect hunt to stimulate curiosity.可知,在“户外课堂日”,学校把学习场所换到教室外面,孩子们可以在这一天玩耍,或使用石头等自然事物来学习,由此可知,在“户外课堂日”,孩子们利用户外的自然事物学习和玩耍。故选C项。
2.Why do children spend less time outdoors ( )
B
A.Schools stop providing playgrounds. B.Adults ignore the importance of playtime.
C.Parents prefer to school their children at home. D.Technology helps children learn better at home.
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中的This is helping to change the trend that sees many schools selling up or building on their playgrounds and cutting back on playtime to make more room for academic studies, while at home children's lives are increasingly filled with organised activities intended to help them learn.可知,学校会减少孩子们的玩耍时间,为学业腾出更多时间,家长认为学习比玩耍重要,会给孩子安排更多的旨在帮助他们学习的活动。由此可知,孩子们在户外的时间更少了,是因为成年人忽视了游戏时间的重要性。故选B项。
3.What's the school teachers' attitude towards the campaign ( )
D
A.Opposed. B.Cold. C.Enthusiastic. D.Favourable.
解析 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的93% of teachers surveyed saw improvements in children's creativity after playing outside, and 97% believe that time spent outdoors is necessary for children to reach their full potential.可知,多数教师认为在户外玩耍可以提高孩子的创造力,有助于充分发挥他们的潜能。由此可推断出,学校老师对这项活动的态度是支持的。故选D项。
4.What's the purpose of the passage?( )
A
A.To introduce an activity. B.To advertise a product.
C.To entertain the public. D.To persuade students to play.
解析 推理判断题。文章第一段提出Outdoor Classroom Day这项活动,后面几段分别介绍这项活动的内容、实施的结果及老师的反馈等,由此可知,本文主要介绍了一项名为“户外课堂日”的活动,故本文的写作目的是介绍一项活动。故选A项。

The idiom “a big fish in a small pond” describes a person who is very well-known or important in
a small group but is not known or important outside that small group.For example, a high-performing
high school student in a small town could be a big fish in a small pond.1. . And he may simply not
know how small his “pond” is—until he moves on to a big university.He must compete with hundreds
of students who were also the best at their high schools.2. .
B
G
Here is another example.A young singer was famous in his small town.He wanted to move to a big
city to grow his singing career.3. . “Here in our small town,” they said, “you are a big fish in a
small pond.Once you move to New York City, that is going to change.Best be ready!” For some people,
this can be a painful realisation—sometimes called a wake-up call.
A
4. . They never grow their circle of friends or work environment.Sometimes they do not take
opportunities that expand their environment, or pond.By staying in a small pond, it is safer.There are
fewer dangers and also fewer competitors.
The Merriam-Webster online dictionary explains another way to use the idiom.It can also describe a
situation where one person has more power, influence, knowledge, or experience than others within a
small group.So sometimes we use this expression to describe people who want to stay in a small pond
just to feel more important.5. .
A.His family supported him but also warned him.
B.He may feel overly confident or overly important.
C.Now, some people like being a big fish in a small pond.
D.People have been using this expression since the early 1800s.
E.Their position is not questioned by the other fish in the pond.
F.A pond is a small body of water, which is usually smaller than a lake.
G.His pond just got much larger and is now filled with many more fish.
C
E
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章用一些具体事例解释了习语a big fish in a small pond的含义。
1.___
B
解析 根据上文内容可知,a big fish in a small pond指的是在小团体中出名或重要,但在团体外不知名或不重要的人。设空处前以小镇上表现优秀的高中生为例,根据后文中的And he may simply not know how small his “pond” is—until he moves on to a big university.可知,这名学生直到进入大学才意识到自己以前所在的“池塘”有多小。因此可推断,设空处说明表现优异的高中生感觉自己很重要,与上下文衔接连贯,符合语境。故选B项。
2.___
G
解析 根据上文中的He must compete with hundreds of students who were also the best at their high schools.可知,这名学生的竞争者多了,也就是说他所在的“池塘”更大了。G项(他的池塘变得更大了,现在充满了更多的鱼)符合语境。故选G项。
3.___
A
解析 根据上文中的A young singer was famous in his small town.He wanted to move to a big city to grow his singing career.可知,这位在小镇出名的歌手想要去大城市发展。再根据后文中的“Here in our small town,” they said, “you are a big fish in a small pond.Once you move to New York City, that is going to change.Best be ready!”可知,他的家人也告诫他要做好准备。由此可推断出,设空处应描写他的家人支持他的同时也向他发出了提醒。A项(他的家人支持他,但也向他发出了提醒)承接下文,符合语境,选项中的warned是关键词。故选A项。
4.___
C
解析 设空处位于段首,应起到概括并总起段落的作用。空后内容讲的是有些人不愿意改变处境,更倾向于选择安逸。故C项(现在,有些人喜欢在小池塘里做一条大鱼)能概括此段内容。故选C项。
5.___
E
解析 根据上文中的So sometimes we use this expression to describe people who want to stay in a small pond just to feel more important.可知,此处介绍了使用这一习语的另一种情况,设空处应对这种情况作出进一步解释。因此E项(他们的地位没有受到池塘里其他鱼的质疑)符合语境。故选E项。

【语篇导读】本文介绍了一部关于成长的纪录片——《零零后》,包括该纪录片的内容、意义和价值。
1.______
were
解析 句意为:它展现了2000年至2009年出生的孩子们的真实生活。根据时间状语between 2000 and 2009可知,此处应用一般过去时。分析句子结构可知,此处为定语从句的谓语,关系代词who指代的是先行词children,所以定语从句的谓语用复数形式。故填were。
2._______
Faced
解析 句意为:面对人际关系问题,他们不知道如果家里有一个弟弟或妹妹出生该怎么办。分析句子结构可知,此处在句中作状语,设空处应用非谓语动词形式;固定短语be faced with意为“面对”,所以用过去分词形式。故填Faced。
3._______
which
解析 句意为:但这部在CCTV-9频道播出的六集系列纪录片与其他有着类似主题的电视节目有所不同。设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词this six-episode series指物,关系词在从句中作主语,所以用which引导该从句。故填which。
4.___________
was filmed
解析 句意为:《零零后》的拍摄历时10年,在这段时间里,节目制作人跟踪记录了一群孩子从幼儿园到中学的成长过程。主句主语Post-00s表示单数概念,谓语应用第三人称单数形式;主句主语与动词film之间是被动关系,应用被动语态;根据语境可知,此处陈述过去的事情,应用一般过去时。故填was filmed。
5.______
other
解析 句意为:换句话说,这部系列纪录片中的一切都是真实的。固定短语in other words意为“换句话说”。故填other。
6._________
curiosity
解析 句意为:它们满足了我们对看到别人生活的好奇心。设空处在形容词性物主代词our后面,应用名词。curiosity是名词,意为“好奇心”。故填curiosity。
7.____________
increasingly
解析 句意为:我们对这些角色越来越感兴趣,就好像我们真的认识他们一样。设空处修饰形容词interested,应用副词。故填increasingly。
8.___
in
解析 句意为:而我们在享受真实故事的同时,我们也会忍不住感到现实的残酷,因为没有什么是预先设定好的。in advance是固定短语,意为“提前;事先”。故填in。
9._______
feeling
解析 句意见上一题解析。can't help doing sth是固定搭配,意为“忍不住做某事”。故填feeling。
10.___
a
解析 句意为:正如美国作家欧内斯特·海明威曾经写的那样:“任何人的生活,如果如实讲述,都是一部小说。”novel是可数名词,根据语境可知,此处表示泛指,应用不定冠词修饰,novel的发音以辅音音素开头。故填a。

I am writing to share with you the interesting trip that my family members and I had during National Day Holiday.
First of all, we went to Zoige Grassland which is so gorgeous that there are a great many tourists coming there every year.What impressed us most was that the locals were so simple and friendly, not only making us feel at home, but also giving us a sense of relaxation.In addition to the attractive scenery, it was mutton, beef, roasted barley flour and buttered tea that left a deep impression on me.
All in all, this trip broadens my horizons and encourages me to get close to nature.
