I live in central London. It's crowded. I see tons of people every day. The Uber driver. The office workers at rush hour. The cashiers at Sainsbury' s ... Deep in my thoughts, I encounter and interact with people mindlessly like a robot sometimes, without giving it much thought. It' s becoming rare for me to make spontaneous (自发的) friendships.
My mom was and still is the queen of spontaneous friendships. She is the kind of person who will talk to a cashier and know her life story, talk to a sales assistant and become her friend, and talk to a man sitting nearby, get his number and have me visiting his workplace to get advice on job hunting. These mindless chats have brought her many friends, and they have also solved many problems. I can't remember how many times she did her magic and pulled herself out of a bad situation. Sometimes I wish I could be more like her. But on reflection, it' s something I can practice and you can too.
For me to change, I had to make a habit of some sort. Here are the three affirmations (肯定) I tell myself every day to be more open to people.
We are all fellow humans. We are all in this world together so we might as well be friendly and make a connection with a fellow human.
Today is going to be a great day. Maybe I'll meet someone who will make my day. I might be saved by a stranger. I might even meet my future employer before even applying.
Opportunities are created by people. Whether it is a job or anything else, opportunities come from people talking to each other.
So next time you get your coffee, ride with a driver, wait in line or even sit in the underground, don't be afraid to interact with a stranger. It will affect their day; it will affect yours and you might get to that opportunity or solution that was lying in them, waiting to be found.
24. Why does the author say that he is like a robot
A. He has to work hard. B. He is as smart as a robot.
C. He has little time to enjoy his life. D. He seldom makes a connection with strangers.
25. What do we know about the author's mother
A. She has good people skills. B. She is fond of giving advice.
C. She has strong belief in magic. D. She is unaware of her privacy concerns.
26. What did the author think about what his mother did
A. It was helpful to her. B. It was none of her business.
C. It should be more spontaneous. D. It failed to solve any problems.
27. What does the author suggest
A. Staying away from strangers. B. Keeping in touch with your old friends.
C. Communicating with those you encounter. D. Avoiding sharing personal information with others.

The murals (壁画) are expected to fade within a year, but the city hopes a proposed (被提议的) street painting program will help participants build community and create a sense of place that will live on long after the paint wears away.
The program originated from a pilot project the City of Regina carried out in 2017 and 2018. The project saw members of the community gather to create a public artwork designed by the Neil Balkwill' s artist Brendan Schick at the crosswalk of 14th Avenue and Montague Street in October 2017.
But seven months － and one winter season － after the first mural was painted, it had faded to nothing. Norman Kyle, director of roadways and transportation for the City of Regina, said the use of a stain (着色剂) instead of a road paint, as well as road use, contributed to the mural' s quick demise. "We had a lot of calls and there were a lot of social media posts that were positive about the mural," said Kyle. "They wished it would have lasted longer but given the fact that it is on a road with traffic and sand, just like our road markings, we have to refresh them every year to make them visible."
Citizens will be able to send proposals outlining what kind of mural their group or organization would like to paint and where. City administration will then assess the proposals.
If approved, a flat permit fee of $400 will be required to cover the cost of traffic accommodations (设施) including barricades and parking restrictions needed during painting and after as the paint dries. The permit fee will also cover the cost of reviewing the applications. The applicants will also be required to cover the cost of the paint needed to complete the mural.
"In the pilot project we felt it was successful because there was high community involvement and participation," said Kyle. "It generated a lot of positive feedback from both the citizens and-the community." He said he hopes community groups will continue to get involved, and as they do that it will spread throughout the city.
28. What do we know about the pilot project
A. It began in 2018. B. It used a road paint.
C. It aimed to protect ancient murals. D. It involved participants in street painting.
29. What does the underlined word "demise" in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Disappearance. B. Completion. C. Stop. D. Hit.
30. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. How to paint murals. B. How to apply for a mural.
C. What influences murals have on communities. D. What costs applicants should cover to create the mural.
31. What did Kyle say about the pilot project
A. It has spread throughout the city. B. It failed to be carried out smoothly.
C. It helped create a sense of neighborhood. D. It caused a lot of trouble for city traffic.
D
Mogao Grottoes is located at the western end of the Hexi Corridor along the ancient Silk Road in Dunhuang, China. Until now, most mural paintings at Mogao Grottoes have been dated by directly referring to the mural texts or historical documents. However, some are still left with the creation era (年代) uncertain due to the lack of reference materials or the disagreement of art experts.
The drawing style of mural paintings was changing throughout history and can be learned and quantified through painting data. A new dating method has been developed by encoding (编码) the drawing styles using visual codes
learned through deep learning. This new method successfully discovered the creation era of six mural paintings at Mogao Grottoes. This new research work is led by Qingquan Li from Shenzhen University.
With the help of experts from Dunhuang Academy, seven mural paintings from two grottoes (No. 205 and No. 206) were chosen as subjects for this dating research.
To reveal the creation era of these paintings, Qin Zou, a researcher from Wuhan University, collected 3,860 mural paintings from 194 different grottoes with confirmed creation-era labels. To find the visual codes that can identify the era in these paintings, the authors constructed a deep convolutional neural network (卷积神经网络) and classified (将......分类) these painting images into the right eras. Based on the classification model, a dating method was built and applied to date the seven paintings.
Six of the new dating results were approved by experts from Dunhuang Academy. "These dating results are correct and the method is great," said Mr. Hui-Min Wang, a distinguished expert from the Archaeological Institute of Dunhuang Academy.
"To the best of our knowledge," wrote the researchers, "this work represents the first account of a scientific and quantitative manner to support the era prediction and reduce the uncertainties in dating ancient paintings by using deep learning."
32. In which way can most mural paintings be directly dated
A. By checking painting data. B. By identifying the drawing styles.
C. By referring to reference materials. D. By adopting a convolutional neural network.
33. What can be learned about the new dating method
A. It requires a large number of visual codes. B. It dated the seven chosen mural paintings correctly.
C. It was developed by experts in Dunhuang Academy. D. It involves collecting information from the mural texts.
34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The importance of creation-era labels. B. How the classification model is created.
C. The influence of the new dating research. D. Why the researchers chose 3,860 mural paintings.
35. What was Mr. Wang's attitude toward this new method
A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Positive. D. Uninterested.

Two months to save my girl’s life
As my feet pounded the pavement, sweat dripped down my forehead and back. “Just a little bit further,” I told myself, determined to push forward. Though I’d never been much of a runner, I had a crucial motivation to save my little girl, Bridie. Born in January 2017, she had beautiful big blue eyes. But shortly after her arrival, doctors pointed out that her head was measuring quite large. Within days, she was diagnosed with sagittal craniosynostosis. Doctors explained that she’d need surgery. They also noticed that her limbs and fingers were measuring quite short, so Bridie went through genetic testing to find out why. When the results came back, my wife and I met with the specialist. “Bridie has Mainzer-Saldino syndrome,” he said. He also revealed the rare condition would cause reinal (视网膜的) degeneration, meaning she could go blind and develop kidney (肾) disease.
So, when Bridie fell ill in 2019 with common flu, it caused a loss to her little body. Sadly, the medications she needed to help her recover weakened her kidneys even further. By December that year, her specialist revealed they were only functioning at 30 percent. “If it gets any worse, she will need to start dialysis (透析),” he admitted, adding that a transplant might be required sooner than we first thought.
It broke my heart, and I knew I had to step up to help save my girl. So I volunteered to give her one of my kidneys right away. After undergoing multiple tests, I was declared a match. But there were still several barriers I had to overcome before I had the all-clear to donate.
“You’ll have to lose 15 kilos before we consider you fit to transplant,” the specialist told me in June. He gave me two months to get into shape. At 96.5 kilos, I wasn’t overweight, but I needed to lower my BMI to be fit for the surgery.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I was determined to do whatever it took to save my little girl.

43. D。本句中的it 指代上文中提到的在透明的穹状建筑物里度过一夜。文章首段中的You are about to experience something very special提示本空选experience。
44. A。由本句中的Although可知，设空处所在部分与I should be nervous形成对比，即这里需要填一个与nervous意思相对的词，excited（激动的）符合语境。
45. D。上文提到了“我”虽然是第一次体验与大象近距离接触，可是“我”一点也不害怕，心里反而非常激动。由此可推断，参观金三角保护区、近距离接触大象是“我”长期以来的“愿望（wish）”。
46. B。本段描述“我”为什么会选择在透明的穹状建筑物里与不远处的亚洲象共度一夜。结合本句中的When I discovered the Jungle Bubbles可知，此处表示“我”便抓住与这些大象共度一夜的机会。四个选项中，只有jumped at（迫不及待地接受）符合语境。
47. B。由上文可知，近距离接触大象是“我”长期以来的愿望。结合本句中的as a kid opening presents可知，这里需填的词应该表示“高兴的”或者“激动的”，故选happy。
48. C。由上文中的I take picture after picture of the elephants standing nearby 及下文中“我”观看大象们在泥坑里玩耍的情景可推断，这个地方“让人很放松（relaxing）”。
49. A。下文中的No phone, no news 及I watch as the three elephants that will be ... tonight play in a mud hole提示“我”唯一需要做的事情就是看大象，故选watch。
50. B。由上文可知，“我”所在的透明的穹状建筑物离大象们很近，今晚“我”将要与它们共度一夜。也就是说，今晚“我”将要与它们成为“邻居（neighbours）”。
51. D。由本句中的blowing hard to clear the mud out of their noses可知，天黑时，大象们终于从泥坑里出来了。leave（离开）符合语境。
52. C。“我”能听见大象们的呼吸声和打响鼻声，这说明它们离“我”很“近（close）”。
53. D。由本句中的while they are munching leaves可推断，“我”一边喝咖啡，一边静静地“聆听（listen）”大象用力咀嚼树叶的声音。
54. D。由上文可知，参观金三角保护区、近距离接触大象是“我”长期以来的愿望。现在“我”终于梦想成真。“我”一边喝咖啡，一边静静地聆听大象用力咀嚼树叶的声音。在“我”看来，再也没有比这“更好的（better）”方式来度过一晚了。
55. B。本句中的these fantastic animals指代大象。由上文可知，雨林泡泡屋让“我”有机会接近大象、观察它们、了解它们。也就是说，在“我”看来，雨林泡泡屋真正是一个可以让我们了解大象的“窗口（window）”。window在此表示“了解信息的渠道，窗口”，后常跟介词on或者into。
本文是说明文。为了降低军犬在执行任务时听力受损的风险，研究人员发明了名为“犬类听觉保护系统”的头套。
56. or。考查连词。此处用到了whether ... or ... 结构，意为“无论是……还是……”。
57. be exposed。考查被动语态。dogs与expose之间是被动关系，且设空处前有can，故填be exposed。
58. to solve。考查动词不定式作定语的用法。attempt作名词时，其后可跟不定式作定语，故填to solve。
59. which。考查关系词。设空处引导非限制性定语从句修饰Canine Auditory Protection System，且在从句中作主语，故填which。
60. conventional。考查形容词作定语的用法。设空处作定语修饰protection，且意为“传统的”，故填conventional。
61. neatly。考查副词。设空处修饰谓语动词，故填副词neatly。
62. guarantees / will guarantee。考查时态。设空处描述一般情况，且主语为不可数名词，故填guarantees；此处也可理解为描述将来发生的情况，故也可填will guarantee。
63. in。考查介词。in place是固定搭配，意为“在适当的位置”。
64. carrying。考查动词-ing形式作定语的用法。设空处作后置定语，dogs与carry out之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故填carrying。
65. performance。考查名词。设空处与inability并列作介词in的宾语，故填performance。
【答案】Dear Sir or Madam,
It is said that the World Culture and Art Exhibition will be held in our city next month. I am writing to apply to be a volunteer.
As for me, I am good at communicating with others. Having read many books on culture and art, I am familiar with Chinese culture and art, which means I can deal with some specific problems properly. What’s more, I can speak English fluently.
If lucky enough to get this opportunity, I will do my due diligence to promote Chinese culture and art.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
I was determined to do whatever it took to save my little girl. I cut back on beer and pub meals, such as fried chicken and chips, and stuck to eating healthier options, such as lean meat and vegetables instead. I also invested in a new pair of joggers and went running every day. Incredibly, by August, I had managed to lose weight and was given the all-clear to go ahead.
In November, the big day finally arrived. Wheeled into operating theatre around 8 am, my nerves were very tense. When I came to several hours later, my wife was there by my side, smiling. Thankfully, Bridie’s surgery was also believed to be a success. After two days, I was finally well enough to visit my precious daughter. I felt so good to see a smile on her face. Our brave girl had more energy with each day that passed. Seeing the smile on our beautiful Bridie’s face makes it all worthwhile.

I live in central London. It's crowded. I see tons of people every day. The Uber driver. The office workers at rush hour. The cashiers at Sainsbury' s ... Deep in my thoughts, I encounter and interact with people mindlessly like a robot sometimes, without giving it much thought. It' s becoming rare for me to make spontaneous (自发的) friendships.
My mom was and still is the queen of spontaneous friendships. She is the kind of person who will talk to a cashier and know her life story, talk to a sales assistant and become her friend, and talk to a man sitting nearby, get his number and have me visiting his workplace to get advice on job hunting. These mindless chats have brought her many friends, and they have also solved many problems. I can't remember how many times she did her magic and pulled herself out of a bad situation. Sometimes I wish I could be more like her. But on reflection, it' s something I can practice and you can too.
For me to change, I had to make a habit of some sort. Here are the three affirmations (肯定) I tell myself every day to be more open to people.
We are all fellow humans. We are all in this world together so we might as well be friendly and make a connection with a fellow human.
Today is going to be a great day. Maybe I'll meet someone who will make my day. I might be saved by a stranger. I might even meet my future employer before even applying.
Opportunities are created by people. Whether it is a job or anything else, opportunities come from people talking to each other.
So next time you get your coffee, ride with a driver, wait in line or even sit in the underground, don't be afraid to interact with a stranger. It will affect their day; it will affect yours and you might get to that opportunity or solution that was lying in them, waiting to be found.
24. Why does the author say that he is like a robot
A. He has to work hard. B. He is as smart as a robot.
C. He has little time to enjoy his life. D. He seldom makes a connection with strangers.
25. What do we know about the author's mother
A. She has good people skills. B. She is fond of giving advice.
C. She has strong belief in magic. D. She is unaware of her privacy concerns.
26. What did the author think about what his mother did
A. It was helpful to her. B. It was none of her business.
C. It should be more spontaneous. D. It failed to solve any problems.
27. What does the author suggest
A. Staying away from strangers. B. Keeping in touch with your old friends.
C. Communicating with those you encounter. D. Avoiding sharing personal information with others.

The murals (壁画) are expected to fade within a year, but the city hopes a proposed (被提议的) street painting program will help participants build community and create a sense of place that will live on long after the paint wears away.
The program originated from a pilot project the City of Regina carried out in 2017 and 2018. The project saw members of the community gather to create a public artwork designed by the Neil Balkwill' s artist Brendan Schick at the crosswalk of 14th Avenue and Montague Street in October 2017.
But seven months － and one winter season － after the first mural was painted, it had faded to nothing. Norman Kyle, director of roadways and transportation for the City of Regina, said the use of a stain (着色剂) instead of a road paint, as well as road use, contributed to the mural' s quick demise. "We had a lot of calls and there were a lot of social media posts that were positive about the mural," said Kyle. "They wished it would have lasted longer but given the fact that it is on a road with traffic and sand, just like our road markings, we have to refresh them every year to make them visible."
Citizens will be able to send proposals outlining what kind of mural their group or organization would like to paint and where. City administration will then assess the proposals.
If approved, a flat permit fee of $400 will be required to cover the cost of traffic accommodations (设施) including barricades and parking restrictions needed during painting and after as the paint dries. The permit fee will also cover the cost of reviewing the applications. The applicants will also be required to cover the cost of the paint needed to complete the mural.
"In the pilot project we felt it was successful because there was high community involvement and participation," said Kyle. "It generated a lot of positive feedback from both the citizens and-the community." He said he hopes community groups will continue to get involved, and as they do that it will spread throughout the city.
28. What do we know about the pilot project
A. It began in 2018. B. It used a road paint.
C. It aimed to protect ancient murals. D. It involved participants in street painting.
29. What does the underlined word "demise" in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Disappearance. B. Completion. C. Stop. D. Hit.
30. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. How to paint murals. B. How to apply for a mural.
C. What influences murals have on communities. D. What costs applicants should cover to create the mural.
31. What did Kyle say about the pilot project
A. It has spread throughout the city. B. It failed to be carried out smoothly.
C. It helped create a sense of neighborhood. D. It caused a lot of trouble for city traffic.
D
Mogao Grottoes is located at the western end of the Hexi Corridor along the ancient Silk Road in Dunhuang, China. Until now, most mural paintings at Mogao Grottoes have been dated by directly referring to the mural texts or historical documents. However, some are still left with the creation era (年代) uncertain due to the lack of reference materials or the disagreement of art experts.
The drawing style of mural paintings was changing throughout history and can be learned and quantified through painting data. A new dating method has been developed by encoding (编码) the drawing styles using visual codes
learned through deep learning. This new method successfully discovered the creation era of six mural paintings at Mogao Grottoes. This new research work is led by Qingquan Li from Shenzhen University.
With the help of experts from Dunhuang Academy, seven mural paintings from two grottoes (No. 205 and No. 206) were chosen as subjects for this dating research.
To reveal the creation era of these paintings, Qin Zou, a researcher from Wuhan University, collected 3,860 mural paintings from 194 different grottoes with confirmed creation-era labels. To find the visual codes that can identify the era in these paintings, the authors constructed a deep convolutional neural network (卷积神经网络) and classified (将......分类) these painting images into the right eras. Based on the classification model, a dating method was built and applied to date the seven paintings.
Six of the new dating results were approved by experts from Dunhuang Academy. "These dating results are correct and the method is great," said Mr. Hui-Min Wang, a distinguished expert from the Archaeological Institute of Dunhuang Academy.
"To the best of our knowledge," wrote the researchers, "this work represents the first account of a scientific and quantitative manner to support the era prediction and reduce the uncertainties in dating ancient paintings by using deep learning."
32. In which way can most mural paintings be directly dated
A. By checking painting data. B. By identifying the drawing styles.
C. By referring to reference materials. D. By adopting a convolutional neural network.
33. What can be learned about the new dating method
A. It requires a large number of visual codes. B. It dated the seven chosen mural paintings correctly.
C. It was developed by experts in Dunhuang Academy. D. It involves collecting information from the mural texts.
34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The importance of creation-era labels. B. How the classification model is created.
C. The influence of the new dating research. D. Why the researchers chose 3,860 mural paintings.
35. What was Mr. Wang's attitude toward this new method
A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Positive. D. Uninterested.

Two months to save my girl’s life
As my feet pounded the pavement, sweat dripped down my forehead and back. “Just a little bit further,” I told myself, determined to push forward. Though I’d never been much of a runner, I had a crucial motivation to save my little girl, Bridie. Born in January 2017, she had beautiful big blue eyes. But shortly after her arrival, doctors pointed out that her head was measuring quite large. Within days, she was diagnosed with sagittal craniosynostosis. Doctors explained that she’d need surgery. They also noticed that her limbs and fingers were measuring quite short, so Bridie went through genetic testing to find out why. When the results came back, my wife and I met with the specialist. “Bridie has Mainzer-Saldino syndrome,” he said. He also revealed the rare condition would cause reinal (视网膜的) degeneration, meaning she could go blind and develop kidney (肾) disease.
So, when Bridie fell ill in 2019 with common flu, it caused a loss to her little body. Sadly, the medications she needed to help her recover weakened her kidneys even further. By December that year, her specialist revealed they were only functioning at 30 percent. “If it gets any worse, she will need to start dialysis (透析),” he admitted, adding that a transplant might be required sooner than we first thought.
It broke my heart, and I knew I had to step up to help save my girl. So I volunteered to give her one of my kidneys right away. After undergoing multiple tests, I was declared a match. But there were still several barriers I had to overcome before I had the all-clear to donate.
“You’ll have to lose 15 kilos before we consider you fit to transplant,” the specialist told me in June. He gave me two months to get into shape. At 96.5 kilos, I wasn’t overweight, but I needed to lower my BMI to be fit for the surgery.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I was determined to do whatever it took to save my little girl.

D篇
主题语境：人与社会——艺术
本文是说明文。文章讲述了敦煌莫高窟壁画断代研究的新方法。
32. C。细节理解题。由第一段中的most mural paintings at Mogao Grottoes have been dated by directly referring to the mural texts or historical documents可知，大部分壁画都可以通过题记和历史资料直接断代。第一段最后一句的some are still left with the creation era uncertain due to the lack of reference materials也表明，剩余一些无法断代的是由于缺少参考资料。
33. A。细节理解题。由第二段中的A new dating method has been developed by encoding the drawing styles using visual codes ... 可知，新的研究方法将不同时期的绘画风格进行视觉编码，通过确定风格来对壁画断代。由倒数第二段可知B项错误，只有六幅壁画的断代结果得到一致认可。由第二段最后一句话可知C项错误。D项是最普遍的断代方法，不是新研究内容。
34. B。段落大意题。由第四段最后一句Based on the classification model, a dating method was ... date the seven paintings可知，本段主要介绍了分类模型的建立过程。
35. C。推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的These dating results are correct and the method is great可知，王先生对新方法持积极的态度。
主题语境：人与社会——艺术
本文是说明文。文章介绍了绘画修复工作的六个步骤。
36. G。设空处是Step 1段落的末句，起总结全段并承启下文的作用。由上文可知，Step 1主要介绍了绘画修复前的检查工作，这样就知道哪些地方需要修复，以便开展后面的工作。G项符合此处语境。
37. A。设空处承接上文。由小标题Client Communication可知，该段主要介绍与客户沟通的事项。A项中的discuss和下文中的discussions构成原词复现。
38. C。设空处位于段首，起总领全段的作用。由小标题Total Clean和下文可知，设空处的内容与清理作品上的旧漆和修复痕迹有关。C项中的Total clean与小标题中的Total Clean构成原词复现关系，slow and painful与下文内容相照应。
39. F。设空处和上文为并列关系。F项中的stretcher与小标题中的Stretchers构成原词复现，且下文中的try to keep the painting as original as possible解释了F项中所描述行为的原因。
40. D。设空处位于段首，起总领全段的作用。由小标题Varnishing and Finishing可知，本段主要讲上漆和修整。D项中的varnishes与小标题中的Varnishing构成原词复现，且a range of top quality varnishes与下文中的We offer a choice from ...相照应。
主题语境：人与自然——自然生态
本文是记叙文。作者讲述了自己在泰国北部丛林中近距离接触大象的经历。
41. A。由文章首段中的experience something very special及本句中的a night spent in a transparent dome ... in the bush of Thailand's Golden Triangle可知，这个夜晚“非同寻常（unusual）”。special与unusual属于同义词。
42. C。下文中的visit the conservation area of the Golden Triangle to get closer to the elephants here 及I take picture after picture of the elephants standing nearby提示透明的穹状建筑物距离生活在丛林深处的亚洲象“只（just）”有几英尺。
43. D。本句中的it 指代上文中提到的在透明的穹状建筑物里度过一夜。文章首段中的You are about to experience something very special提示本空选experience。
44. A。由本句中的Although可知，设空处所在部分与I should be nervous形成对比，即这里需要填一个与nervous意思相对的词，excited（激动的）符合语境。
45. D。上文提到了“我”虽然是第一次体验与大象近距离接触，可是“我”一点也不害怕，心里反而非常激动。由此可推断，参观金三角保护区、近距离接触大象是“我”长期以来的“愿望（wish）”。
46. B。本段描述“我”为什么会选择在透明的穹状建筑物里与不远处的亚洲象共度一夜。结合本句中的When I discovered the Jungle Bubbles可知，此处表示“我”便抓住与这些大象共度一夜的机会。四个选项中，只有jumped at（迫不及待地接受）符合语境。
47. B。由上文可知，近距离接触大象是“我”长期以来的愿望。结合本句中的as a kid opening presents可知，这里需填的词应该表示“高兴的”或者“激动的”，故选happy。
48. C。由上文中的I take picture after picture of the elephants standing nearby 及下文中“我”观看大象们在泥坑里玩耍的情景可推断，这个地方“让人很放松（relaxing）”。
49. A。下文中的No phone, no news 及I watch as the three elephants that will be ... tonight play in a mud hole提示“我”唯一需要做的事情就是看大象，故选watch。
50. B。由上文可知，“我”所在的透明的穹状建筑物离大象们很近，今晚“我”将要与它们共度一夜。也就是说，今晚“我”将要与它们成为“邻居（neighbours）”。
51. D。由本句中的blowing hard to clear the mud out of their noses可知，天黑时，大象们终于从泥坑里出来了。leave（离开）符合语境。
52. C。“我”能听见大象们的呼吸声和打响鼻声，这说明它们离“我”很“近（close）”。
53. D。由本句中的while they are munching leaves可推断，“我”一边喝咖啡，一边静静地“聆听（listen）”大象用力咀嚼树叶的声音。
54. D。由上文可知，参观金三角保护区、近距离接触大象是“我”长期以来的愿望。现在“我”终于梦想成真。“我”一边喝咖啡，一边静静地聆听大象用力咀嚼树叶的声音。在“我”看来，再也没有比这“更好的（better）”方式来度过一晚了。
55. B。本句中的these fantastic animals指代大象。由上文可知，雨林泡泡屋让“我”有机会接近大象、观察它们、了解它们。也就是说，在“我”看来，雨林泡泡屋真正是一个可以让我们了解大象的“窗口（window）”。window在此表示“了解信息的渠道，窗口”，后常跟介词on或者into。
本文是说明文。为了降低军犬在执行任务时听力受损的风险，研究人员发明了名为“犬类听觉保护系统”的头套。
56. or。考查连词。此处用到了whether ... or ... 结构，意为“无论是……还是……”。
57. be exposed。考查被动语态。dogs与expose之间是被动关系，且设空处前有can，故填be exposed。
58. to solve。考查动词不定式作定语的用法。attempt作名词时，其后可跟不定式作定语，故填to solve。
59. which。考查关系词。设空处引导非限制性定语从句修饰Canine Auditory Protection System，且在从句中作主语，故填which。
60. conventional。考查形容词作定语的用法。设空处作定语修饰protection，且意为“传统的”，故填conventional。
61. neatly。考查副词。设空处修饰谓语动词，故填副词neatly。
62. guarantees / will guarantee。考查时态。设空处描述一般情况，且主语为不可数名词，故填guarantees；此处也可理解为描述将来发生的情况，故也可填will guarantee。
63. in。考查介词。in place是固定搭配，意为“在适当的位置”。
64. carrying。考查动词-ing形式作定语的用法。设空处作后置定语，dogs与carry out之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故填carrying。
65. performance。考查名词。设空处与inability并列作介词in的宾语，故填performance。
【答案】Dear Sir or Madam,
It is said that the World Culture and Art Exhibition will be held in our city next month. I am writing to apply to be a volunteer.
As for me, I am good at communicating with others. Having read many books on culture and art, I am familiar with Chinese culture and art, which means I can deal with some specific problems properly. What’s more, I can speak English fluently.
If lucky enough to get this opportunity, I will do my due diligence to promote Chinese culture and art.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
I was determined to do whatever it took to save my little girl. I cut back on beer and pub meals, such as fried chicken and chips, and stuck to eating healthier options, such as lean meat and vegetables instead. I also invested in a new pair of joggers and went running every day. Incredibly, by August, I had managed to lose weight and was given the all-clear to go ahead.
In November, the big day finally arrived. Wheeled into operating theatre around 8 am, my nerves were very tense. When I came to several hours later, my wife was there by my side, smiling. Thankfully, Bridie’s surgery was also believed to be a success. After two days, I was finally well enough to visit my precious daughter. I felt so good to see a smile on her face. Our brave girl had more energy with each day that passed. Seeing the smile on our beautiful Bridie’s face makes it all worthwhile.
