My neighbors across the street take pride in one of the most striking trees in the neighborhood—a towering oak that is over 75 years old. This year, after a wet, warm summer, leaves were a bit different in my Massachusetts town. And through some combination of events, that glorious oak seemed to have dropped all of its uncountable leaves on a single windy day. I arrived at home that afternoon to find our front walkway, driveway and sidewalk completely blanketed.
My son and I had a great time making a leaf pile for jumping and enjoying pillowy fun. The whole time, I was fascinated by the speed of this year’s leaf drop. Even though I was aware that it was an accident of wind patterns that left all the leaves in our yard, I kept looking up and feeling a rush of awe at the suddenly bare branches that watched quietly over our neighborhood, starting its restful season before setting spring leaf buds.
And I felt thankful for those fallen leaves as I was reminded of my favorite quote from the author and naturalist Hal Borland. He wrote it referencing October, but this year’s later drop had me change the month: “November is the fallen leaf, but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen. It is the distant hills once more in sight, and the enduring constellations(星座) above them once again. ”
When I lay in that pile of dry, crisp leaves and looked up into the oak tree across the street, I felt a clarity and peace that comes along with the inconveniently early sunsets and chilly temperatures of the transition from fall into winter. I could still admire the tree as I had in spring and summer, but I could also see through it, beyond it, to the big sky that blankets us all.
4．What’s unusual this year
A．Outdoor activities are limited due to heavy winds.
B．A series of special events happened in the neighborhood.
C．The weather is especially cold in winter in Massachusetts.
D．The neighbors’ big tree almost dropped all its leaves within a day.
5．How does the author feel at the suddenly bare branches in Paragraph 2
A．Anxious. B．Sorrowful. C．Comfortable. D．Amazed.
6．Why are Hal Borland’s lines quoted in Paragraph 3
A．To express the author’s admiration for the naturalist.
B．To emphasize the importance of getting close to nature.
C．To express the author’s feelings about the leaf-falling season.
D．To emphasize the beauty of the author’s childhood memories.
7．What is the best title for the text
A．The Sky Far Beyond B．The Fall of Massachusetts
C．The Beauty of a Newly-bare Tree D．The Memories of Peace and Beauty
C
Official figures show that 101 people were killed in road accidents on the streets of London last year. The city wants to reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries on the capital’s roads to zero. It seems impossible. But it focuses more minds on an important question: What can help reduce accidents in a big city Transport for London (TfL), the capital’s road and rail authority, has some answers: safe speeds, safe vehicles and so on.
A safety standard for Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs), which harnesses blind area cameras and sensors (传感器), is pioneering. Blind area cameras and sensors are widely placed where they are needed. The European Commission has followed it. TfL has also helpfully identified London’s most dangerous places. Half of Britain’s most dangerous roads run through the capital. Around three-quarters of accidents that cause deaths or serious injuries happen at crossing near the British Museum, which has been the site of the most deaths since 2012. Westminster is the most dangerous area for walkers and cyclists, so it introduced 20 mph speed limits on all its roads in 2021.
“Vision Zero” was launched in 2018. Deaths and serious injuries on London’s roads have fallen — by 53% and 40% respectively in 2022. But movement is not one-way. Deaths were record breakingly low in 2020 and 2021. But in 2022 the deaths rose again. “We are moving in the right direction,” says Will Norman, London’s walking and cycling commissioner.
Lack of funds for TfL has put off improving the riskiest areas. Only a few parts of the1010 Avenue have bike paths with guardrails (护栏). Safety is the biggest problem to people taking up cycling or letting their children walk or cycle. But greener vehicles may be unsafe themselves. Electric scooters (滑板车) are the latest ones to confuse planners. “One of those doing 50 mph down the road is not good for anybody,” said Mr Norman.
8．What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 1
A．To make the article interesting.
B．To stress the importance of TfL.
C．To call on scientists to study the question.
D．To give some background information.
9．What does the underlined word “harnesses” mean in paragraph 2
A．Compares. B．Removes. C．Uses. D．Replaces.
10．What is the Will Norman’s attitude to the “Vision Zero”
A．Doubtful. B．Supportive. C．Puzzled. D．Unclear.
11．What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph
A．Bike lanes are not safe anymore for riders on roads.
B．Children should think twice when taking up cycling.
C．Safety has been a problem for some eco-friendly vehicles.
D．Electric scooters have become the biggest confusion for planners.
D
Is there any evidence to show that the standard of English as a foreign language has improved in the years since the Second World War Naturally, as it is the world language, more and more people are taught it and use it. But do they speak it or write it or understand it better than their parents’ or grandparents’ generation
There seems to be no objective way of answering this question. Tests of the traditional sort—compositions, summary writing, and so on—have always been subjective, so they cannot be used to judge whether people have got a better command of English or not over the years. But so-called objectives tests are useless as a measure of progress too. They have not been used consistently (一贯地) in the same “concentration” over the period they have been in use, so there is no way of comparing exams “now” and “then”. Moreover, usually in the form of multiple choice questions, they do not test the things that really count in mastering a language. Even comprehension is a partly “creative” activity in real life, as we have to think of possible meanings for ourselves rather than have them suggested for us from outside. And people can be trained in the techniques of multiple choice, while others fail the tests because they have been led astray (离开正道) by their “suggestive” nature, so they are not really objective at all. We are left with only personal impression to go on.
My own view is that, if anything, standards have declined in the last thirty or forty years, despite all the new theories, tools and techniques that have been developed. I am not alone in this judgement. In Sweden, for instance, Professors Johannes Hedberg and Gustav Korlen, two of the most experienced workers in the field, have drawn attention to the lack of progress in the teaching of foreign languages since the late fifties. Yet Sweden is a sophisticated (先进的) society with extremely high educational and academic standards, and very concerned not to be cut off from the rest of the world. If such a country cannot achieve advances in the study of foreign languages, it is unlikely that many others have done so.
Japan is another community where little progress has been made in the learning of English. It is probably as important for Japan as for Sweden to master that language, and there is much academic effort put into linguistic research of various kinds. Yet the average standard of language learning is terribly low, particularly for such a highly educated society. This is no doubt in part the result of a vicious circle (恶性循环) : Many of the professors of English at Japanese universities are themselves unable to speak or write or even understand the language well.
12．Which of the following is true according to the author
A．Multiple choice questions are objective as people cannot be trained in response techniques.
B．Sweden emphasizes the teaching of English without paying attention to other countries.
C．We have to depend on our own impression to judge the English standards.
D．Compositions are more useful to test one’s English ability than multiple choice questions.
13．The so-called objectives tests cannot be used as a measure of progress because ________.
A．the people who design the tests are always changing
B．they don’t always test what is important in language learning
C．the way of scoring is not scientific
D．they contain too many reading comprehension questions
14．The author’s attitudes towards present English standard is ________.
A．positive B．casual C．objective D．negative
15．If there is one more paragraph in this passage, what will the author likely talk about
A．What the most objective way is to set up English standards.
B．How to improve the present low level of English learning.
C．Why English plays a key role in language learning worldwide.
D．What the benefits are if Japanese people can learn English well.

What Are Great Books
There’s no end to the making of books. Nor does there seem to be any end to the making of lists of “great books”. 16 What I will mention may not be all there are, but they are the ones I’ve found most useful in explaining my choices over the years.
Great books are probably the most widely read.
They’re not bestsellers for a year or two. They are lasting bestsellers. Gone With The Wind has had relatively few readers compared to the plays of Shakespeare. It would be reasonable to estimate that Homer’s Iliad has been read by at least 25,000,000 people in the last 3000 years. 17
Great books arc popular, non-academic.
They’re not written by specialists about speciaties. Whether they be philosophy or science, or history or poetry, they treat of humans not academic problems. 18 But the great books can be considered elementary in the sense that they treat the elements of any subject matter. They’re not related to one another as a series of textbooks, graded in difficulty.
19
They have more ideas per page than most books have in their entirety. That is why you can read a great book over and over again and never exhaust its contents. They can be read at many different levels of understanding. Obvious examples are Gulliver’s Travels, Robinson Crusoe and Odyssey. Children can read them with enjoyment, but fail to find there in all the beauty and significance which delight an adult mind.
Great books are the most instructive.
Great books contain what cannot be found in other books. Whether you ultimately agree or disagree with what they say, these are the primary teachers of mankind. 20 It’s almost unnecessary to add that the great books are the most influential. In the tradition of learning, they have been most discussed by readers who have also been writers.
A．Great books are the most readable.
B．Great books are the most representative.
C．They have made basic contributions to human thought.
D．The listing of the best books is as old as reading and writing.
E．What are the signs by which we may recognize a great book
F．It may take time for a great book to accumulate its ultimate audience.
G．To read advanced textbooks, you have to read elementary textbooks first.

The Negative Impacts of Volunteer Tourism
Volunteer tourism, or voluntourism, is an increasingly popular form of altruistic travel. Its appeal lies in being an experience that allows visitors to feel good by being a part of some kind of meaningful change. But despite good intentions from participants, volunteering abroad has been the target of heavy criticism over the past few years.
Voluntourists only have a limited amount of time, and the ability to change the systems and provide support for the places they visit. Being volunteers, they also simply don’t have the skills to do so. And they can sometimes inadvertently perpetuate unhelpful and even patronizing(自视高人一等的)ideas about the places they visit. A number of studies have shown that volunteer tourism can have negative impacts, 21 benefiting the local communities.
*Unskilled labor creates more work
Previously, volunteering opportunities were often 22 to skilled professionals, but this is not the 23 of volunteer tourism. Anyone can become a voluntourist, which brings a series of problems. Though 24 , they are often unskilled, especially when it comes to work such as construction and digging. This can often lead to locals being forced to take on the added responsibility for rebuilding homes and schools that would have been 25 inadequate.
*Volunteers take local jobs
In the meantime, this takes jobs away from locals who would have been paid to do the same work. It also prevents them from learning or being taught the skills that could then be used to 26 the community. As a famous proverb says, “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” The time and efforts of volunteers could be better 27 making local communities more economically independent and self-sufficient, allowing them to improve 28 even after they depart.
*There is no long-term commitment
Lots of communities do need the help and assistance of volunteers, but what are they able to address in the few short weeks of their “ 29 ” Most places tend to benefit more from long-term engagement, and often the largest number of meaningful volunteers come from the communities themselves, rather than from 30 eager to fix things. While short-term volunteers can do a lot of good, it is often so only when they have skills and training that 31 the specific needs, such as medical aid, construction, conservation, teaching, or even religious work; as well as having experience doing the required work and with different cultures.
* There is a lot of focus on 32 the volunteer
Voluntourism tends to place a lot of emphasis on the volunteers, sometimes even at the expense of the community they are looking to help. Travel companies attract individuals with promises of 33 but immediately-rewarding experiences. This, in turn, can lead to large numbers of volunteers who, instead of helping create a change, can actually 34 local communities from becoming more economically independent due to their very presence.
What Can We Do Instead
Short-term volunteers, especially students, also need to be given the opportunity to explore various different cultures and destinations. But they should take the time to learn about the socio-cultural backgrounds of the places they visit. Short-term placements thus become more about experiences and 35 exchange, where they may gain knowledge and respect other cultures, rather than go on trips that “help the poor”.
This kind of cross-cultural engagement can do a lot of good in a world that is increasingly leaning towards violence and xenophobia.

五、读后续写(共1题，满分25分）
47．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。
The M1 highway was closed down in both directions due to flooding, leaving thousands of vehicles stuck on the spot. Several hundred had been stuck for at least 30 hours since the road was cut at about 7.30 am on Monday.
Unluckily, I was one of the people who were waiting for help. There are almost 100 vehicles trapped on the road about 800 meters long. And one benefit was that there was a short road tunnel (隧道) that had provided shelter from the pouring rain as well as some lighting after nightfall. So how people have felt depended on how well they stored food. I was totally in trouble because of lacking food. I heard someone knocking on my window while I was worrying about my situation.
A man, who was driving a truck full of raw (生的) chicken leaving for downtown, opened his truck’s door and shared the chicken around by dinner time on Monday. This was a thriving community of shared resources and resourcefulness, where the truck driver dished out food that had been ordered for supermarkets. And others helped to cook the raw chicken by the tool which were found in their cars.
I took the chicken from the truck driver and, after expressing my thanks, I lost in thought: how do I cook this chicken Just as I was looking around in confusion, a girl not far away waved to me, “Come over here, we have cooked meat.” “No, thanks,” I replied casually. But I was so hungry that I couldn’t help but walk over to her with the chicken. She took the chicken from my hand, cleaned it and put it on the grill (烧烤架). I was impressed by her masterful way. After a while, some meat was cooked and I took the meat she handed to me.

参考答案和解析
1．B 2．D 3．C
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个可以学习音乐和舞蹈的地方。
1．细节理解题。根据Archived Images部分的前两句“Want to find out about a new band, or just want more information about an old favourite Visit our collection to find out facts and figures, or see the actual possessions of famous bands and musicians you are interested in.（想了解一个新乐队，或者只想了解更多关于一个老乐队的信息？访问我们的收藏，以了解事实和数据，或查看您感兴趣的著名乐队和音乐家的实际财产）”可知，Archived Images可以收集人们最喜欢的乐队的信息。故选B。
2．细节理解题。根据Rhythm-studio部分的最后一句“Learn your steps from our professional onscreen dance instructor, then watch your performance and become the star in your own video recording which you can take away!（从我们的专业屏幕舞蹈教练那里学习你的舞步，然后观看你的表演，成为你自己录制的视频中的明星，视频你可以带走！）”可知，Rhythm-studio允许你录制视频并把录制的视频带走；而根据Show-in-a-day部分的最后一句“Get your friends and family to come and see you perform, as no videoing or photography is allowed.（让你的朋友和家人来看你的表演，因为不允许录像或摄影）”可知，Show-in-a-day不允许你录制视频。所以，Rhythm-studio与Show-in-a-day的不同之处就是在于Rhythm-studio允许人们录像，并且可以带走录像。故选D项。
3．推理判断题。这篇文章主要介绍了四个可以学习音乐和舞蹈的地方。由此可以推断出文章应该来自于报纸上有关音乐和舞蹈的栏目。故选C项。
4．D 5．D 6．C 7．C
【导语】本文为记叙文，作者描述了秋末冬初落叶满地的景色，抒发了对这个季节的赞美之情。
4．细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“And through some combination of events, that glorious oak seemed to have dropped all of its uncountable leaves on a single windy day. (经过种种事件的综合，那棵辉煌的橡树似乎在一个刮风的日子里，把它无数的叶子都掉光了。)”可知，今年的不寻常之处是邻居的大树在一天之内掉光了所有的叶子。故选D。
5．词句猜测题。根据第二段的“the suddenly bare branches that watched quietly over our neighborhood, starting its restful season before setting spring leaf buds(突然光秃秃的树枝静静地注视着我们的社区，开始了春天嫩芽之前的宁静季节)”可知，作者惊叹于叶落之后大树的树干和树枝之美，因此“a zing of awe”的意思是“惊叹”，和amazement意思相近，故选D。
6．推理判断题。根据第三段的“November is the fallen leaf, but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen. It is the distant hills once more in sight, and the enduring constellations(星座) above them once again. (十一月是落叶，但它也更广阔的视野更清晰地看到。远处的群山又出现在眼前，群山上方经久不衰的星座又出现在眼前。)”可知，这句话描述的是十一月的美景，因此在第三段引用了Hal Borland所写的句子的目的是表达作者对落叶季节的感受。故选C。
7．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是文章最后一段“When I lay in that pile of dry, crisp leaves and looked up into the oak tree across the street, I felt a clarity and peace that comes along with the inconveniently early sunsets and chilly temperatures of the transition from fall into winter. I could still admire the tree as I had in spring and summer, but I could also see through it, beyond it, to the big sky that blankets us all. (当我躺在那堆又干又脆的树叶上，抬头望着街对面的橡树时，我感到了一种清澈与平静，这是伴随着令人不安的早日落和秋冬交替期间的寒冷气温而来的。我仍然可以像春天和夏天那样欣赏这棵树，但我也可以透过它，越过它，看到覆盖我们所有人的广阔天空。)”可知，作者惊叹于叶落之后大树的树干和树枝之美，抒发了对这个季节的赞美之情。因此最好的题目是C选项“The Beauty of a Newly-bare Tree.(刚变得光秃秃的树的美丽。)”，故选C。
8．D 9．C 10．B 11．C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了伦敦的“Vision Zero”的计划。
8．推理判断题。根据第一段“Official figures show that 101 people were killed in road accidents on the streets of London last year. The city wants to reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries on the capital’s roads to zero. It seems impossible. But it focuses more minds on an important question: What can help reduce accidents in a big city Transport for London (TfL), the capital’s road and rail authority, has some answers: safe speeds, safe vehicles and so on.(官方数据显示，去年伦敦街头有101人死于交通事故。该市希望将首都道路上的死亡和重伤人数降至零。这似乎不可能。但它把更多的注意力集中在一个重要的问题上：什么能帮助减少大城市的交通事故 伦敦的公路和铁路管理局伦敦交通局(TfL)给出了一些答案：安全的速度、安全的车辆等等)”推知，第一段的目的是陈述伦敦推出“Vision Zero”计划的背景。故选D。
9．词句猜测题。根据第二段的“Blind area cameras and sensors are widely placed where they are needed. (盲区摄像机和传感器被广泛放置在需要的地方)”和结合画线句可知，一项针对重型货车的安全标准利用了盲区摄像头和传感器。由此猜测恶划线词意为“利用”，与use同义。故选C。
10．推理判断题。根据第三段的““We are moving in the right direction,” says Will Norman, London’s walking and cycling commissioner.(“我们正朝着正确的方向前进，”伦敦步行和自行车专员Will Norman表示)”推知，Will Norman对“Vision Zero”计划是支持的。故选B。
11．细节理解题。根据最后一段的“But greener vehicles may be unsafe themselves. Electric scooters (滑板车) are the latest ones to confuse planners.(但环保汽车本身可能不安全。电动滑板车是最新让规划者感到困惑的产品)”可知，作者告诉读者，就一些环保的交通工具而言，安全是一个问题。故选C。
12．C 13．B 14．D 15．B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要论述的是英语作为一门外语的水平在第二次世界大战以来的这些年里是否有所提高。
12．细节理解题。根据第二段的“Even comprehension is a partly “creative” activity in real life, as we have to think of possible meanings for ourselves rather than have them suggested for us from outside.(甚至在现实生活中，理解也是一种部分的“创造性”活动，因为我们必须为自己思考可能的意义，而不是从外部向我们暗示。)”可知，我们必须依靠自己的印象来判断英语的标准，因此C选项正确，故选C。
13．细节理解题。根据第二段的“Moreover, usually in the form of multiple choice questions, they do not test the things that really count in mastering a language.(此外，他们通常以多项选择题的形式，并没有测试掌握一门语言的真正重要的东西。)”可知，所谓的目标测试不能用来衡量进展，因为它们并不总是测试语言学习中什么是重要的，故选B。
14．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“My own view is that, if anything, standards have declined in the last thirty or forty years, despite all the new theories, tools and techniques that have been developed.(我个人的观点是，如果有的话，标准在过去的三四十年间已经下降了，尽管所有新的理论、工具和技术已经发展起来。)”可推断出，作者对现行的英语标准的态度是否定的，故选D。
15．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Yet the average standard of language learning is terribly low, particularly for such a highly educated society.(然而，语言学均水平非常低，尤其是在这样一个受过高等教育的社会。)”可知，最后一段提出了目前英语学非常低这个问题，因此下一段应该讲如何提高目前较低的英语学。故选B。
16．E 17．F 18．G 19．A 20．C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了什么是好书。
16．上文“Nor does there seem to be any end to the making of lists of ‘great books’. (制作‘好书’清单似乎也没有尽头)”说明好书有很多，选项E“我们可以通过哪些标志来识别一本好书 ”承接上文，提出通过什么标志来识别好书。故选E项。
17．上文小标题“Great books are probably the most widely read. (好书可能被最广泛的阅读。)”说明好书有广泛的读者，选项F“一本好书可能需要时间来积累最终的读者。”呼应小标题，说明好书需要时间来积累读者。故选F项。
18．下文“But the great books can be considered elementary in the sense that they treat the elements of any subject matter. (但是，好书可以被认为是初级的，因为它们涉及任何主题的要素。)”说明好书可能是初级的，基础性的，选项G“要读高级课本，必须先读基础课本。”引领下文，说明必须先读基础的。故选G项。
19．下文“They have more ideas per page than most books have in their entirety. That is why you can read a great book over and over again and never exhaust its contents. They can be read at many different levels of understanding. (它们每页的想法比大多数书的全部内容都要多。这就是为什么你可以一遍又一遍地读一本好书，永远不会耗尽它的内容。它们可以在许多不同的理解水平上阅读。)”说明好书内涵丰富，百读不烦，各个理解水平都可以阅读，选项A“好书是最值得阅读的。”概括本段主题，适合做小标题。故选A项。
20．上文“Great books contain what cannot be found in other books. Whether you ultimately agree or disagree with what they say, these are the primary teachers of mankind.

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章从四个方面阐述了志愿者旅游可能会产生负面影响，而不是使当地社区受益。
21．考查固定短语辨析。句意：许多研究表明，志愿者旅游可能会产生负面影响，而不是使当地社区受益。A. let alone更不用说；B. in terms of就某方面而言；C. rather than而不是；D. thanks to多亏。根据前文“volunteer tourism can have negative impacts,”可知，志愿者旅游可能会产生负面影响，而不是使当地社区受益，前后构成转折关系。故选C。
22．考查动词词义辨析。句意：以前，志愿服务的机会往往仅限于有技能的专业人员，但这不是志愿旅游的全体。A. transmitted传输；B. restricted限制；C. appointed委派；D. delivered运输。根据后文“to skilled professionals”可知，以往志愿服务的机会仅限于有技能的专业人员。故选B。
23．考查名词词义辨析。句意：同上。A. cast全体成员，模型；B. concern担心；C. agreement同意；D. solution解决方式。根据后文“Anyone can become a voluntourist,”可知，任何人都可以成为志愿者，，有技能的专业人员不仅仅是志愿旅游的全体。故选A。

30．考查名词词义辨析。句意：大多数地方往往会从长期参与中获益更多，而且往往有意义的志愿者人数最多的是来自社区本身，而不是来自渴望解决问题的技术人员。A. locals当地人；B. organizers组织者；C. foreigners外国人；D. technicians技术员。根据后文“fix things”可知，往往有意义的志愿者人数最多的是来自社区本身，而不是来自渴望解决问题的技术人员。故选C。
31．考查动词词义辨析。句意：虽然短期志愿者可以做很多好事，但往往只有当他们拥有与特定需求相匹配的技能和培训时，才能做到这一点，比如医疗援助、建筑、保护、教学，甚至是宗教工作。A. overshadow使黯然失色；B. match匹配；C. deserve值得；D. pair使成对，配对。根据前文“they have skills and training”以及后文的the specific needs可知，短期志愿者只有当他们拥有与特定需求相匹配的技能和培训时，才能为社区的发展带来好处。故选B。

36．考查形容词。句意：广西壮族和瑶族人建造的龙脊梯田，在不同的季节里色彩缤纷。分析句子结构可知，空前的are是系动词，空处应用形容词作表语。故填colourful。
37．考查非谓语动词。句意：清朝初期花了几百年才完成它们。分析句子结构可知，句子用了It takes (sb.) some time to do sth.的句型，意为“（某人）花多长时间做某事”，其中It是形式主语，真正的主语是不定式短语，空处应用不定式的形式。故填to complete。
38．考查介词。句意：人们把整座山都变成了梯田，因为这一地区几乎没有大片平坦的土地。根据“turn”和句意可知，这里用了turn… into…的固定搭配，意为“把……变成……”，空处用into。故填into。
39．考查非谓语动词和被动语态。句意：平坦的梯田可以收集雨水，防止土壤被冲走。根据“keep”和句意可知，这里用了keep… from doing…的固定搭配，意为“阻止……做……”。此处短语wash away与其逻辑主语soil是被动关系，空处应用doing的被动形式being done。故填being washed。
40．考查副词。句意：人们睿智地设计了梯田，利用了许多水道彼此连接。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰动词designed，应用副词形式。故填wisely。

42．考查定语从句。句意：太阳的热量让水变成了蒸汽，形成了云。分析句子结构可知，空前是一个完整的句子，空后句子缺少主语，故推知此处是非限制性定语从句。从句的先行词vapour在从句中作主语，vapour指物，用关系代词which。故填which。
43．考查名词的数。句意：此外，梯田的环境非常适合鸟类和鱼类。bird是可数名词，空前没有冠词，空处用名词复数表示类别。故填birds。
44．考查代词。句意：梯田是当地人传承传统的宝贵资源，成千上万的游客前来欣赏人与自然共同创造的奇迹。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰名词tradition，应用形容词性物主代词。故填their。
45．考查定冠词。句意：梯田是当地人传承传统的宝贵资源，成千上万的游客前来欣赏人与自然共同创造的奇迹。结合句意可知，wonder在句中表示“奇迹，奇观”，是可数名词，此处特指这一奇观，空处用定冠词the。故填the。

47．
As I got the hot chicken, I was filled with gratitude. Bending my head and taking a smell of the food, I felt I was eating the most delicious food in the world. Getting out of my car, I found a great number of people, eating, talking and smiling happily. Those receiving food said “thank you” again and again to those who gave. People were talking so friendly and warmly as if they had known each other for many years. Some people even exchanged phone numbers and addresses.
I carefully wrote down the phone number of Catherine, the girl who had helped me so much during the wait. She was not that experienced in cooking, but she was very warm-hearted. I felt ashamed and touched to see her moving nimbly through the crowded traffic to help others. Finally, with the help of some firemen and traffic police, all the cars left safely. Then I called her on the phone. After a short talk, I expressed the idea of inviting her to my home for dinner. She readily agreed, and I was very happy.

My neighbors across the street take pride in one of the most striking trees in the neighborhood—a towering oak that is over 75 years old. This year, after a wet, warm summer, leaves were a bit different in my Massachusetts town. And through some combination of events, that glorious oak seemed to have dropped all of its uncountable leaves on a single windy day. I arrived at home that afternoon to find our front walkway, driveway and sidewalk completely blanketed.
My son and I had a great time making a leaf pile for jumping and enjoying pillowy fun. The whole time, I was fascinated by the speed of this year’s leaf drop. Even though I was aware that it was an accident of wind patterns that left all the leaves in our yard, I kept looking up and feeling a rush of awe at the suddenly bare branches that watched quietly over our neighborhood, starting its restful season before setting spring leaf buds.
And I felt thankful for those fallen leaves as I was reminded of my favorite quote from the author and naturalist Hal Borland. He wrote it referencing October, but this year’s later drop had me change the month: “November is the fallen leaf, but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen. It is the distant hills once more in sight, and the enduring constellations(星座) above them once again. ”
When I lay in that pile of dry, crisp leaves and looked up into the oak tree across the street, I felt a clarity and peace that comes along with the inconveniently early sunsets and chilly temperatures of the transition from fall into winter. I could still admire the tree as I had in spring and summer, but I could also see through it, beyond it, to the big sky that blankets us all.
4．What’s unusual this year
A．Outdoor activities are limited due to heavy winds.
B．A series of special events happened in the neighborhood.
C．The weather is especially cold in winter in Massachusetts.
D．The neighbors’ big tree almost dropped all its leaves within a day.

B．To emphasize the importance of getting close to nature.
C．To express the author’s feelings about the leaf-falling season.
D．To emphasize the beauty of the author’s childhood memories.

A．The Sky Far Beyond B．The Fall of Massachusetts
C．The Beauty of a Newly-bare Tree D．The Memories of Peace and Beauty

Official figures show that 101 people were killed in road accidents on the streets of London last year. The city wants to reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries on the capital’s roads to zero. It seems impossible. But it focuses more minds on an important question: What can help reduce accidents in a big city Transport for London (TfL), the capital’s road and rail authority, has some answers: safe speeds, safe vehicles and so on.
A safety standard for Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs), which harnesses blind area cameras and sensors (传感器), is pioneering. Blind area cameras and sensors are widely placed where they are needed. The European Commission has followed it. TfL has also helpfully identified London’s most dangerous places. Half of Britain’s most dangerous roads run through the capital. Around three-quarters of accidents that cause deaths or serious injuries happen at crossing near the British Museum, which has been the site of the most deaths since 2012. Westminster is the most dangerous area for walkers and cyclists, so it introduced 20 mph speed limits on all its roads in 2021.
“Vision Zero” was launched in 2018. Deaths and serious injuries on London’s roads have fallen — by 53% and 40% respectively in 2022. But movement is not one-way. Deaths were record breakingly low in 2020 and 2021. But in 2022 the deaths rose again. “We are moving in the right direction,” says Will Norman, London’s walking and cycling commissioner.
Lack of funds for TfL has put off improving the riskiest areas. Only a few parts of the1010 Avenue have bike paths with guardrails (护栏). Safety is the biggest problem to people taking up cycling or letting their children walk or cycle. But greener vehicles may be unsafe themselves. Electric scooters (滑板车) are the latest ones to confuse planners. “One of those doing 50 mph down the road is not good for anybody,” said Mr Norman.
8．What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 1
A．To make the article interesting.
B．To stress the importance of TfL.
C．To call on scientists to study the question.
D．To give some background information.
9．What does the underlined word “harnesses” mean in paragraph 2
A．Compares. B．Removes. C．Uses. D．Replaces.
10．What is the Will Norman’s attitude to the “Vision Zero”
A．Doubtful. B．Supportive. C．Puzzled. D．Unclear.
11．What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph
A．Bike lanes are not safe anymore for riders on roads.
B．Children should think twice when taking up cycling.
C．Safety has been a problem for some eco-friendly vehicles.
D．Electric scooters have become the biggest confusion for planners.

Is there any evidence to show that the standard of English as a foreign language has improved in the years since the Second World War Naturally, as it is the world language, more and more people are taught it and use it. But do they speak it or write it or understand it better than their parents’ or grandparents’ generation
There seems to be no objective way of answering this question. Tests of the traditional sort—compositions, summary writing, and so on—have always been subjective, so they cannot be used to judge whether people have got a better command of English or not over the years. But so-called objectives tests are useless as a measure of progress too. They have not been used consistently (一贯地) in the same “concentration” over the period they have been in use, so there is no way of comparing exams “now” and “then”. Moreover, usually in the form of multiple choice questions, they do not test the things that really count in mastering a language. Even comprehension is a partly “creative” activity in real life, as we have to think of possible meanings for ourselves rather than have them suggested for us from outside. And people can be trained in the techniques of multiple choice, while others fail the tests because they have been led astray (离开正道) by their “suggestive” nature, so they are not really objective at all. We are left with only personal impression to go on.
My own view is that, if anything, standards have declined in the last thirty or forty years, despite all the new theories, tools and techniques that have been developed. I am not alone in this judgement. In Sweden, for instance, Professors Johannes Hedberg and Gustav Korlen, two of the most experienced workers in the field, have drawn attention to the lack of progress in the teaching of foreign languages since the late fifties. Yet Sweden is a sophisticated (先进的) society with extremely high educational and academic standards, and very concerned not to be cut off from the rest of the world. If such a country cannot achieve advances in the study of foreign languages, it is unlikely that many others have done so.
Japan is another community where little progress has been made in the learning of English. It is probably as important for Japan as for Sweden to master that language, and there is much academic effort put into linguistic research of various kinds. Yet the average standard of language learning is terribly low, particularly for such a highly educated society. This is no doubt in part the result of a vicious circle (恶性循环) : Many of the professors of English at Japanese universities are themselves unable to speak or write or even understand the language well.
12．Which of the following is true according to the author
A．Multiple choice questions are objective as people cannot be trained in response techniques.
B．Sweden emphasizes the teaching of English without paying attention to other countries.
C．We have to depend on our own impression to judge the English standards.
D．Compositions are more useful to test one’s English ability than multiple choice questions.
13．The so-called objectives tests cannot be used as a measure of progress because ________.
A．the people who design the tests are always changing
B．they don’t always test what is important in language learning
C．the way of scoring is not scientific
D．they contain too many reading comprehension questions
14．The author’s attitudes towards present English standard is ________.
A．positive B．casual C．objective D．negative
15．If there is one more paragraph in this passage, what will the author likely talk about
A．What the most objective way is to set up English standards.
B．How to improve the present low level of English learning.
C．Why English plays a key role in language learning worldwide.
D．What the benefits are if Japanese people can learn English well.

What Are Great Books
There’s no end to the making of books. Nor does there seem to be any end to the making of lists of “great books”. 16 What I will mention may not be all there are, but they are the ones I’ve found most useful in explaining my choices over the years.
Great books are probably the most widely read.
They’re not bestsellers for a year or two. They are lasting bestsellers. Gone With The Wind has had relatively few readers compared to the plays of Shakespeare. It would be reasonable to estimate that Homer’s Iliad has been read by at least 25,000,000 people in the last 3000 years. 17
Great books arc popular, non-academic.
They’re not written by specialists about speciaties. Whether they be philosophy or science, or history or poetry, they treat of humans not academic problems. 18 But the great books can be considered elementary in the sense that they treat the elements of any subject matter. They’re not related to one another as a series of textbooks, graded in difficulty.
19
They have more ideas per page than most books have in their entirety. That is why you can read a great book over and over again and never exhaust its contents. They can be read at many different levels of understanding. Obvious examples are Gulliver’s Travels, Robinson Crusoe and Odyssey. Children can read them with enjoyment, but fail to find there in all the beauty and significance which delight an adult mind.
Great books are the most instructive.
Great books contain what cannot be found in other books. Whether you ultimately agree or disagree with what they say, these are the primary teachers of mankind. 20 It’s almost unnecessary to add that the great books are the most influential. In the tradition of learning, they have been most discussed by readers who have also been writers.
A．Great books are the most readable.
B．Great books are the most representative.
C．They have made basic contributions to human thought.
D．The listing of the best books is as old as reading and writing.
E．What are the signs by which we may recognize a great book
F．It may take time for a great book to accumulate its ultimate audience.
G．To read advanced textbooks, you have to read elementary textbooks first.

The Negative Impacts of Volunteer Tourism
Volunteer tourism, or voluntourism, is an increasingly popular form of altruistic travel. Its appeal lies in being an experience that allows visitors to feel good by being a part of some kind of meaningful change. But despite good intentions from participants, volunteering abroad has been the target of heavy criticism over the past few years.
Voluntourists only have a limited amount of time, and the ability to change the systems and provide support for the places they visit. Being volunteers, they also simply don’t have the skills to do so. And they can sometimes inadvertently perpetuate unhelpful and even patronizing(自视高人一等的)ideas about the places they visit. A number of studies have shown that volunteer tourism can have negative impacts, 21 benefiting the local communities.
*Unskilled labor creates more work
Previously, volunteering opportunities were often 22 to skilled professionals, but this is not the 23 of volunteer tourism. Anyone can become a voluntourist, which brings a series of problems. Though 24 , they are often unskilled, especially when it comes to work such as construction and digging. This can often lead to locals being forced to take on the added responsibility for rebuilding homes and schools that would have been 25 inadequate.
*Volunteers take local jobs
In the meantime, this takes jobs away from locals who would have been paid to do the same work. It also prevents them from learning or being taught the skills that could then be used to 26 the community. As a famous proverb says, “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” The time and efforts of volunteers could be better 27 making local communities more economically independent and self-sufficient, allowing them to improve 28 even after they depart.
*There is no long-term commitment
Lots of communities do need the help and assistance of volunteers, but what are they able to address in the few short weeks of their “ 29 ” Most places tend to benefit more from long-term engagement, and often the largest number of meaningful volunteers come from the communities themselves, rather than from 30 eager to fix things. While short-term volunteers can do a lot of good, it is often so only when they have skills and training that 31 the specific needs, such as medical aid, construction, conservation, teaching, or even religious work; as well as having experience doing the required work and with different cultures.
* There is a lot of focus on 32 the volunteer
Voluntourism tends to place a lot of emphasis on the volunteers, sometimes even at the expense of the community they are looking to help. Travel companies attract individuals with promises of 33 but immediately-rewarding experiences. This, in turn, can lead to large numbers of volunteers who, instead of helping create a change, can actually 34 local communities from becoming more economically independent due to their very presence.
What Can We Do Instead
Short-term volunteers, especially students, also need to be given the opportunity to explore various different cultures and destinations. But they should take the time to learn about the socio-cultural backgrounds of the places they visit. Short-term placements thus become more about experiences and 35 exchange, where they may gain knowledge and respect other cultures, rather than go on trips that “help the poor”.
This kind of cross-cultural engagement can do a lot of good in a world that is increasingly leaning towards violence and xenophobia.

五、读后续写(共1题，满分25分）
47．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。
The M1 highway was closed down in both directions due to flooding, leaving thousands of vehicles stuck on the spot. Several hundred had been stuck for at least 30 hours since the road was cut at about 7.30 am on Monday.
Unluckily, I was one of the people who were waiting for help. There are almost 100 vehicles trapped on the road about 800 meters long. And one benefit was that there was a short road tunnel (隧道) that had provided shelter from the pouring rain as well as some lighting after nightfall. So how people have felt depended on how well they stored food. I was totally in trouble because of lacking food. I heard someone knocking on my window while I was worrying about my situation.
A man, who was driving a truck full of raw (生的) chicken leaving for downtown, opened his truck’s door and shared the chicken around by dinner time on Monday. This was a thriving community of shared resources and resourcefulness, where the truck driver dished out food that had been ordered for supermarkets. And others helped to cook the raw chicken by the tool which were found in their cars.
I took the chicken from the truck driver and, after expressing my thanks, I lost in thought: how do I cook this chicken Just as I was looking around in confusion, a girl not far away waved to me, “Come over here, we have cooked meat.” “No, thanks,” I replied casually. But I was so hungry that I couldn’t help but walk over to her with the chicken. She took the chicken from my hand, cleaned it and put it on the grill (烧烤架). I was impressed by her masterful way. After a while, some meat was cooked and I took the meat she handed to me.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

参考答案和解析
1．B 2．D 3．C
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个可以学习音乐和舞蹈的地方。
1．细节理解题。根据Archived Images部分的前两句“Want to find out about a new band, or just want more information about an old favourite Visit our collection to find out facts and figures, or see the actual possessions of famous bands and musicians you are interested in.（想了解一个新乐队，或者只想了解更多关于一个老乐队的信息？访问我们的收藏，以了解事实和数据，或查看您感兴趣的著名乐队和音乐家的实际财产）”可知，Archived Images可以收集人们最喜欢的乐队的信息。故选B。
2．细节理解题。根据Rhythm-studio部分的最后一句“Learn your steps from our professional onscreen dance instructor, then watch your performance and become the star in your own video recording which you can take away!（从我们的专业屏幕舞蹈教练那里学习你的舞步，然后观看你的表演，成为你自己录制的视频中的明星，视频你可以带走！）”可知，Rhythm-studio允许你录制视频并把录制的视频带走；而根据Show-in-a-day部分的最后一句“Get your friends and family to come and see you perform, as no videoing or photography is allowed.（让你的朋友和家人来看你的表演，因为不允许录像或摄影）”可知，Show-in-a-day不允许你录制视频。所以，Rhythm-studio与Show-in-a-day的不同之处就是在于Rhythm-studio允许人们录像，并且可以带走录像。故选D项。
3．推理判断题。这篇文章主要介绍了四个可以学习音乐和舞蹈的地方。由此可以推断出文章应该来自于报纸上有关音乐和舞蹈的栏目。故选C项。
4．D 5．D 6．C 7．C
【导语】本文为记叙文，作者描述了秋末冬初落叶满地的景色，抒发了对这个季节的赞美之情。
4．细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“And through some combination of events, that glorious oak seemed to have dropped all of its uncountable leaves on a single windy day. (经过种种事件的综合，那棵辉煌的橡树似乎在一个刮风的日子里，把它无数的叶子都掉光了。)”可知，今年的不寻常之处是邻居的大树在一天之内掉光了所有的叶子。故选D。
5．词句猜测题。根据第二段的“the suddenly bare branches that watched quietly over our neighborhood, starting its restful season before setting spring leaf buds(突然光秃秃的树枝静静地注视着我们的社区，开始了春天嫩芽之前的宁静季节)”可知，作者惊叹于叶落之后大树的树干和树枝之美，因此“a zing of awe”的意思是“惊叹”，和amazement意思相近，故选D。
6．推理判断题。根据第三段的“November is the fallen leaf, but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen. It is the distant hills once more in sight, and the enduring constellations(星座) above them once again. (十一月是落叶，但它也更广阔的视野更清晰地看到。远处的群山又出现在眼前，群山上方经久不衰的星座又出现在眼前。)”可知，这句话描述的是十一月的美景，因此在第三段引用了Hal Borland所写的句子的目的是表达作者对落叶季节的感受。故选C。
7．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是文章最后一段“When I lay in that pile of dry, crisp leaves and looked up into the oak tree across the street, I felt a clarity and peace that comes along with the inconveniently early sunsets and chilly temperatures of the transition from fall into winter. I could still admire the tree as I had in spring and summer, but I could also see through it, beyond it, to the big sky that blankets us all. (当我躺在那堆又干又脆的树叶上，抬头望着街对面的橡树时，我感到了一种清澈与平静，这是伴随着令人不安的早日落和秋冬交替期间的寒冷气温而来的。我仍然可以像春天和夏天那样欣赏这棵树，但我也可以透过它，越过它，看到覆盖我们所有人的广阔天空。)”可知，作者惊叹于叶落之后大树的树干和树枝之美，抒发了对这个季节的赞美之情。因此最好的题目是C选项“The Beauty of a Newly-bare Tree.(刚变得光秃秃的树的美丽。)”，故选C。
8．D 9．C 10．B 11．C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了伦敦的“Vision Zero”的计划。
8．推理判断题。根据第一段“Official figures show that 101 people were killed in road accidents on the streets of London last year. The city wants to reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries on the capital’s roads to zero. It seems impossible. But it focuses more minds on an important question: What can help reduce accidents in a big city Transport for London (TfL), the capital’s road and rail authority, has some answers: safe speeds, safe vehicles and so on.(官方数据显示，去年伦敦街头有101人死于交通事故。该市希望将首都道路上的死亡和重伤人数降至零。这似乎不可能。但它把更多的注意力集中在一个重要的问题上：什么能帮助减少大城市的交通事故 伦敦的公路和铁路管理局伦敦交通局(TfL)给出了一些答案：安全的速度、安全的车辆等等)”推知，第一段的目的是陈述伦敦推出“Vision Zero”计划的背景。故选D。
9．词句猜测题。根据第二段的“Blind area cameras and sensors are widely placed where they are needed. (盲区摄像机和传感器被广泛放置在需要的地方)”和结合画线句可知，一项针对重型货车的安全标准利用了盲区摄像头和传感器。由此猜测恶划线词意为“利用”，与use同义。故选C。
10．推理判断题。根据第三段的““We are moving in the right direction,” says Will Norman, London’s walking and cycling commissioner.(“我们正朝着正确的方向前进，”伦敦步行和自行车专员Will Norman表示)”推知，Will Norman对“Vision Zero”计划是支持的。故选B。
11．细节理解题。根据最后一段的“But greener vehicles may be unsafe themselves. Electric scooters (滑板车) are the latest ones to confuse planners.(但环保汽车本身可能不安全。电动滑板车是最新让规划者感到困惑的产品)”可知，作者告诉读者，就一些环保的交通工具而言，安全是一个问题。故选C。
12．C 13．B 14．D 15．B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要论述的是英语作为一门外语的水平在第二次世界大战以来的这些年里是否有所提高。
12．细节理解题。根据第二段的“Even comprehension is a partly “creative” activity in real life, as we have to think of possible meanings for ourselves rather than have them suggested for us from outside.(甚至在现实生活中，理解也是一种部分的“创造性”活动，因为我们必须为自己思考可能的意义，而不是从外部向我们暗示。)”可知，我们必须依靠自己的印象来判断英语的标准，因此C选项正确，故选C。
13．细节理解题。根据第二段的“Moreover, usually in the form of multiple choice questions, they do not test the things that really count in mastering a language.(此外，他们通常以多项选择题的形式，并没有测试掌握一门语言的真正重要的东西。)”可知，所谓的目标测试不能用来衡量进展，因为它们并不总是测试语言学习中什么是重要的，故选B。
14．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“My own view is that, if anything, standards have declined in the last thirty or forty years, despite all the new theories, tools and techniques that have been developed.(我个人的观点是，如果有的话，标准在过去的三四十年间已经下降了，尽管所有新的理论、工具和技术已经发展起来。)”可推断出，作者对现行的英语标准的态度是否定的，故选D。
15．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Yet the average standard of language learning is terribly low, particularly for such a highly educated society.(然而，语言学均水平非常低，尤其是在这样一个受过高等教育的社会。)”可知，最后一段提出了目前英语学非常低这个问题，因此下一段应该讲如何提高目前较低的英语学。故选B。
16．E 17．F 18．G 19．A 20．C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了什么是好书。
16．上文“Nor does there seem to be any end to the making of lists of ‘great books’. (制作‘好书’清单似乎也没有尽头)”说明好书有很多，选项E“我们可以通过哪些标志来识别一本好书 ”承接上文，提出通过什么标志来识别好书。故选E项。
17．上文小标题“Great books are probably the most widely read. (好书可能被最广泛的阅读。)”说明好书有广泛的读者，选项F“一本好书可能需要时间来积累最终的读者。”呼应小标题，说明好书需要时间来积累读者。故选F项。
18．下文“But the great books can be considered elementary in the sense that they treat the elements of any subject matter. (但是，好书可以被认为是初级的，因为它们涉及任何主题的要素。)”说明好书可能是初级的，基础性的，选项G“要读高级课本，必须先读基础课本。”引领下文，说明必须先读基础的。故选G项。
19．下文“They have more ideas per page than most books have in their entirety. That is why you can read a great book over and over again and never exhaust its contents. They can be read at many different levels of understanding. (它们每页的想法比大多数书的全部内容都要多。这就是为什么你可以一遍又一遍地读一本好书，永远不会耗尽它的内容。它们可以在许多不同的理解水平上阅读。)”说明好书内涵丰富，百读不烦，各个理解水平都可以阅读，选项A“好书是最值得阅读的。”概括本段主题，适合做小标题。故选A项。
20．上文“Great books contain what cannot be found in other books. Whether you ultimately agree or disagree with what they say, these are the primary teachers of mankind. (好书包含了在其他书中找不到的东西。无论你最终同意还是不同意他们所说的，这些都是人类的主要老师。)”说明好书是人类的主要老师，选项C“它们对人类思想做出了基本贡献。”承接上文，进一步强调好书对人类的贡献，呼应本段标题“Great books are the most instructive.(伟大的书籍是最有教育意义的)”中的“the most instructive”。故选C项。

22．考查动词词义辨析。句意：以前，志愿服务的机会往往仅限于有技能的专业人员，但这不是志愿旅游的全体。A. transmitted传输；B. restricted限制；C. appointed委派；D. delivered运输。根据后文“to skilled professionals”可知，以往志愿服务的机会仅限于有技能的专业人员。故选B。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了龙脊梯田的历史演变、自然生态方式，及其蕴含的独特的文化意义。
36．考查形容词。句意：广西壮族和瑶族人建造的龙脊梯田，在不同的季节里色彩缤纷。分析句子结构可知，空前的are是系动词，空处应用形容词作表语。故填colourful。
37．考查非谓语动词。句意：清朝初期花了几百年才完成它们。分析句子结构可知，句子用了It takes (sb.) some time to do sth.的句型，意为“（某人）花多长时间做某事”，其中It是形式主语，真正的主语是不定式短语，空处应用不定式的形式。故填to complete。
38．考查介词。句意：人们把整座山都变成了梯田，因为这一地区几乎没有大片平坦的土地。根据“turn”和句意可知，这里用了turn… into…的固定搭配，意为“把……变成……”，空处用into。故填into。

42．考查定语从句。句意：太阳的热量让水变成了蒸汽，形成了云。分析句子结构可知，空前是一个完整的句子，空后句子缺少主语，故推知此处是非限制性定语从句。从句的先行词vapour在从句中作主语，vapour指物，用关系代词which。故填which。
43．考查名词的数。句意：此外，梯田的环境非常适合鸟类和鱼类。bird是可数名词，空前没有冠词，空处用名词复数表示类别。故填birds。
44．考查代词。句意：梯田是当地人传承传统的宝贵资源，成千上万的游客前来欣赏人与自然共同创造的奇迹。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰名词tradition，应用形容词性物主代词。故填their。
45．考查定冠词。句意：梯田是当地人传承传统的宝贵资源，成千上万的游客前来欣赏人与自然共同创造的奇迹。结合句意可知，wonder在句中表示“奇迹，奇观”，是可数名词，此处特指这一奇观，空处用定冠词the。故填the。

47．
As I got the hot chicken, I was filled with gratitude. Bending my head and taking a smell of the food, I felt I was eating the most delicious food in the world. Getting out of my car, I found a great number of people, eating, talking and smiling happily. Those receiving food said “thank you” again and again to those who gave. People were talking so friendly and warmly as if they had known each other for many years. Some people even exchanged phone numbers and addresses.
I carefully wrote down the phone number of Catherine, the girl who had helped me so much during the wait. She was not that experienced in cooking, but she was very warm-hearted. I felt ashamed and touched to see her moving nimbly through the crowded traffic to help others. Finally, with the help of some firemen and traffic police, all the cars left safely. Then I called her on the phone. After a short talk, I expressed the idea of inviting her to my home for dinner. She readily agreed, and I was very happy.
