Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2023·天津模拟)The shadow play is a typical traditional entertainment that has survived and thrived over the centuries.It is taken as an earliest ancestor of modern cinema.
Legend has it that more than 2,000 years ago, Emperor Wu of Han was very depressed about the death of his favorite concubine (妃子)．To help him get over his sadness, a minister made a puppet out of cotton and silk in the likeness of the concubine and projected its shadow on a curtain for the emperor to see.The show brought the emperor some comfort.He somehow believed the shadow was his lover's spirit.This is thought to be the beginning of the shadow play.
One mouth tells stories of thousands of years; a pair of hands operate millions of soldiers.This is how the shadow puppeteer works.Nicknamed “the business of the five”， a shadow play group is made up of five people.One operates the puppets, one plays a suona and a yueqin, one plays the banhu, one is in charge of percussion instruments (打击乐器), and one sings.
During performances, “actors” are held close to a white curtain with their colored shadows cast on it by a strong light from behind.The operator plays five puppets at the same time, each of which has three threads.Ten fingers handle fifteen threads.Moved by guiding sticks, the puppets play roles with musical accompaniment.The popularity of the shadow play in some way lies in the equipment being light and easy to carry, the small number of people needed for a performance, and the flexible requirements for performance places.The plays can be quite dramatic and, when it comes to myths or kung fu stories, the “actors” may be made to ride on clouds or perform unusual feats, to the great enjoyment of the audience, especially children.The audience can tell a figure's character by seeing his mask.Like the masks in Beijing opera, a red mask represents loyalty and bravery.
Nowadays, the shadow play has been industrialized and developed a series of tourist products for the promotion of Chinese culture and tourism.

(2023·青岛模拟)My family lived in a tiny apartment in Hoboken, New Jersey.Every December my mom spread the word to anyone alone on Christmas Eve that she would be having an open house.My mom believed that no one should be alone during the holidays.If she could, she probably would have put an advertisement in the paper inviting the world.
As it was, our tiny apartment was stuffed, every room but my bedroom filled with partying adults on Christmas Eve.Sleep was impossible, but I tried to fall asleep anyway because Santa would not leave gifts for children who were awake.As I lay in bed, I wondered how Santa would even know I was asleep amid all the laughter and how he could sneak in and leave gifts with all those people around.
The Christmas Eve Open－House tradition continued.When I was 8 years old, we moved to the suburb, where we got to live in a lovely, one－bedroom apartment.That first Christmas there, my mom invited anyone she met who she learned would be alone on Christmas Eve — neighbors, co－workers, shop girls, the postman ...the list went on.
The next year, a new neighbor moved in next door.His name was George, and he was an older gentleman.He always nodded a greeting when he saw us.It was around Thanksgiving when we saw him park in his space near ours.We were bringing in groceries, and my mom asked him if he had plans for the holiday.When he said no, and he would spend it alone, my mom mentioned her open house on Christmas Eve.
“Please join us，” I said.He was already shaking his head no.
“But mom's apple pie is really inviting.”
“I won't be good company, I'm afraid，” he said.“I lost my wife a few months ago.” His eyes were filled with tears and he turned away.“Thank you anyway！” he called.He went into his apartment and quickly closed the door.

Paragraph 1：
I felt a bit down and decided to do something.I went to his apartment and expressed my sorrow to him and hoped he could get out of the depression.Lifting his eyes, he stared at me silently and hugged me tightly.He was so moved and delighted because he knew at that moment there was still someone in this world who still cared for him.As I was leaving, I could see that his face lit up with happiness.
Paragraph 2：
Our friendship began, and soon Christmas Eve arrived. On that day, my mother prepared her famous apple pies for our new friends.George finally appeared, and I said “hello” to him with excitement.He seemed grateful to us and valued this opportunity to be with us.After the dinner, he said he never spent a happier time since his wife died.I've come to realize creating a sense of belonging is joining in holidays.What matters is that Christmas gives us a chance to bring people together to share in the love that unites us.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2023·乌鲁木齐模拟)For the Spring Festival holiday, Huang Zihe and his troupe (剧团) visited various venues and performed with the Hainan Bayin, a traditional musical instrument native to south China's Hainan Province.
Hainan Bayin, or Hainan Eight Tunes, literally refers to the eight types of musical instruments made of materials cultivated in Hainan, such as coconut shells and Chinese rosewood.It also refers to the Bayin musical style created with the instrument.In Hainan, more than 500 Bayin musical scores (乐谱) exist, recording local people's daily life and the traditional Hainan culture.Bayin troupes usually perform at weddings, funerals and when offering sacrifices in northern Hainan, and during the peak of Bayin's popularity, almost all villages had their own Bayin troupe.
Hainan Bayin enjoyed popularity for almost 1,000 years.However, in recent decades, the popularity gradually declined as people left their hometowns, fewer people listened and there are fewer musical creators.
As a professional musician, Huang spent decades in the industry.He retired and later settled in Australia.In 2008, Huang saw a news story that reported Bayin being listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in China and the terrible need for attention to be paid to the musical style due to a lack of professional teachers.Huang became anxious.He decided to come back to Hainan and became a volunteer in a local cultural station in the provincial capital Haikou.
“I realized that we lacked young people in this industry，” he said.So Huang invited local students to the cultural station to learn Bayin.Under his wing, the students learned to perform and their performances were quite popular with the parents and teachers.In 2019, Huang took his Bayin troupe to Singapore and Malaysia.Their performances touched the hearts of many overseas Chinese who originally came from Hainan.“When they heard the familiar hometown tunes, they were overwhelmed，” Huang said.“Some sobbed, and some cried out loud.”
Huang is keen on passing on Bayin among generations.He said, “Bayin is charming and unique.Passing it on is a beautiful thing.”

(2023·怀化模拟)The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day in elementary school.Small for my age, and more of a bookworm than a sports enthusiast, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams.The Field Day, which focused on individual skills, was different.In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory.Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father.He lifted weights every morning at home.He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing e fall, our backyard football games began with passing practice.
Once I got to sixth grade and switched to private school, our entire student body was assigned to either the Red or the White team.Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points.I eventually became president of The Committee of Games, accelerating my competitive fever.However, in girls' sports games at my school, I was no star.I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team.School sports did not bleed into (渗透进) the weekends, as they do today, but at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did.During break time, magazines were also quite popular for us teens.These regularly featured articles on physical exercise.Somehow, my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare funds to use to join a gym.
So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation evolved in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered essential even on vacation.I still love reading and the arts, too.As far as I'm concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds.

(2023·西安模拟)Surfing has deep roots, but for the first time, surfers are competing for medals at the Summer Olympics.At Tsurigasaki Beach, 40 miles from Tokyo, they're also riding big waves ahead of a storm.
“The incoming tide (潮汐) push over the afternoon does look to provide a lot of fun waves，” reports Kurt Korte, the official surf forecaster for the Tokyo Olympics.He works for Surfline, a company based in Huntington Beach, California.He says while it might rain at Tsurigasaki Beach, it should be a great day for the surfing finals at the Olympics.
While new to the Olympics, surfing has a long history.In pre－Inca Peru and wherever there's been a nearby ocean, people have long been surfing in one form or another. Ancient warriors (武士) in Tahiti and Samoa used to train by surfing.In Polynesia, surfing was also considered an art form.But modern surfing became popular near the start of the 20th century in Hawaii.
Getting surfing to the Olympics was a dream of Hawaiian Duke Kahanamoku more than a century ago.Decades before Hawaii became a US state, he earned five Olympic medals for swimming, starting in 1912.Kahanamoku had grown up surfing with his brothers in Waikiki.A news reporter in the 1960's once asked him, “Duke, was it more of a thrill (激动) for you to win those Olympic Games, or ride some of those big waves you used to ride？” “I think surfing is much more to me, the greatest thrill of my life，” he answered.
Former professional surfer Matt Warshaw said, “Unlike most other sports in competition at the Olympics, so much of surfing depends on Mother Nature: the wind and the waves.” At the moment, these surfers are hoping for some sick waves for the Olympic finals.But with the ocean, you never know.
语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了冲浪作为一项运动项目在东京奥运会上首次亮相。
5．What do Korte's words suggest about the day
A．It will be sunny and very hot.
B．It will bring satisfactory waves.
C．It will rain out the surfing event.
D．It will be great for swimming.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第二段中Kurt Korte说的话“provide a lot of fun waves”及“it should be a great day for the surfing finals”可知，在Korte看来当天的海浪适合比赛，即会让人满意。
6．What can be learned about surfing in history
A．It was considered an art form in Tahiti.
B．It was introduced to Hawaii from Polynesia.
C．It was a type of training for Samoan warriors.
D．It was a highly competitive sport in pre－Inca Peru.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Ancient warriors in Tahiti and Samoa used to train by surfing.”可知，在古代，冲浪是萨摩亚武士训练的一种方式。
7．What did Kahanamoku think of his Olympic medals
A．They were a dream coming true.
B．They changed his view on himself.
C．They paled in comparison with surfing.
D．They inspired him to pursue other sports.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中Kahanamoku说的话并联系前一句记者提出的问题可知，Kahanamoku认为冲浪比获得奥运奖牌更激动人心，即它们(奥运奖牌)相比冲浪显得黯然失色。
8．When was the text probably written
A．In the later part of the 1960's.
B．During the Tokyo Olympics.
C．At the start of the 20th century.
D．Before Hawaii joined the US.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“but for the first time, surfers are competing for medals at the Summer Olympics”，第二段中的“for the Tokyo Olympics”以及最后一段中的“At the moment, these surfers are hoping for some sick waves for the Olympic finals.”可知，本文应该是写于东京奥运会期间。

一、主题下的语篇训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2023·广州模拟)A famous springboard diver was defeated by his competitor in the finals of a world championship, offering congratulations to the winner and waving a tearful goodbye to the audience.
It is common in the athletic world.Sportsmen spend the best part of their lives on hard training and competitions.When it becomes evident that they are on the decline they still make great efforts to give their best so as to bring a satisfactory end to their career.
Chances to compete for the championship are few and far between.Life is short.Still shorter is the time for an athlete trying to win games.An athletic contestant really feels that there are so few opportunities and time flies.He treasures every minute, makes full use of it and tries to grasp any chance coming his way.He gets as much as he gives, winning honors not only for himself but also for his country.
To participate and to win — that is the Olympic spirit.It finds expression in the weak daring to challenge the strong, and the strong searching forever better performance.Ever better — the ideal always makes a sportsman forward.He will do everything he can for it, never relax, never give up.It is said that none of the competitors can avoid being defeated — even the best is bound to be defeated by someone still stronger.This is the rule of sports — thousands of losers set off one winner who in turn will eventually be replaced by someone on the honor list.However, he is always trying to do the best he can.When the time comes and he knows he can't, he will step down happily to give place to the younger winner, aware contentedly of the fact that he has done his best for the “ever better” records of the Olympic Games.He will say proudly that he has not lived his youth in vain.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
(2023·青海模拟)Here we've got three tips to help you start an exercise habit that can stick.It's a lot easier than you think.
__5__.
You don't have to be a marathoner to get meaningful health benefits from exercise.Experts say even daily activities, which include mopping the floor, organizing a room or carrying groceries up the stairs can reduce the risk of diseases like diabetes, heart disease and even some cancers.
So remind yourself that it's not a choice between hours－long workout or nothing at all.Instead, think of starting an exercise routine like standing up from your chair and sitting back down repeatedly.__6__.
Focus on how exercise makes you feel great.
There are so many positives that happen when you move.It improves all the tasks that demand focus and creativity.It helps you generate energy.It boosts mood.__7__.When you feel better, you will bring more enthusiasm and energy to your work and the people working around you.
Forget long－term benefits like weight loss or better overall health.__8__.Actually, they're not super motivational in real－time and can be disheartening when you don't see results quickly.
Figure out what kind of exercise and workout location makes you feel good.
If weightlifting in a crowded gym gives you anxiety, try to get a set of weights for home or follow workout videos or ride a bike in the park.__9__.
A．Start small and every movement counts
B．They often take much longer time to achieve
C．Focus on immediate payoffs like improved mood and energy
D．In short, any movement helps to clear fat and sugar out of blood
E．Remember, when you have more energy, you're a happier person
F．Keep trying until you find a workout routine that makes you happy
G．No matter how modest those goals are, they create this feeling like I can do more
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几个能帮助读者轻松坚持锻炼的好主意。
5．解析：选A 根据下文可知，本部分主要是讲不一定非要成为马拉松运动员才能从锻炼中得益。日常家务、甚至经常从椅子上站起来走走都能达到锻炼的目的。故A选项“从小处入手，每个活动都重要”符合语境。
6．解析：选D 根据上文可知，本部分主要说的是小活动也可以锻炼身体，本句为本段最后一句，应进行总结。故D选项“总之，每一个活动都有利于清除血液中的脂肪和糖分”符合语境。
7．解析：选E 上文提到锻炼不但能提气还能提神，空后又提到这种精气神还能感染你周围的人，故E选项“记住，你精力充沛时会感到更幸福”承上启下，符合语境。
8．解析：选B 上文提到不要总想着长期锻炼的好处，本句应说明原因。故B选项“它们需要很长时间才能见效”符合语境，并与下文衔接紧密。
9．解析：选F 上文说明了要不断尝试各种活动，本句为本段最后一句，应承接上文说明原因。故F选项“不停地尝试直到找到能让自己满意的活动”符合语境，其中的“makes you happy”与小标题中的“makes you feel good”相呼应。
Ⅲ.语法填空

语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了在亚足联亚洲杯激烈的决赛中，中国女足以3－2击败韩国队，赢得了冠军。
1．dramatically 考查副词。形容词fierce应由副词修饰，意为“异常激烈地”，故填dramatically。
2．had won 考查固定句型。it is/was the＋序数词＋time＋that从句，表示“第几次做……”，主句用is，从句用现在完成时；主句用was，从句用过去完成时；所以此处应用过去完成时，故填had won。
3．Despite 考查介词。由空后的“being”可知，空处应用介词despite，表示“尽管”。单词位于句首，首字母大写，故填Despite。
4．scored 考查非谓语动词。空处应用非谓语动词作宾语补足语，且宾语goals(进球得分)和动词score(得分)之间是被动关系，应用score的过去分词形式，故填scored。
5．which 考查定语从句。此处是“介词＋关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词是the final，指物，在从句中作宾语，故用关系代词which引导。
6．varieties 考查名词复数。varieties of是固定搭配，意为“各种各样的”，故填varieties。
7．themselves 考查代词。此处表示“教练激励团队队员们要对自己有信心”，所以此处应用反身代词代指队员们自己，故填themselves。
8．a 考查冠词。a combination of意为“一种……的结合”，故填a。
9．be given 考查虚拟语气。此处advocate表示一种建议，所以在advocate＋(that)从句中，从句需要用虚拟语气，即should＋动词原形，should可以省略，此处省略了should；从句主语more attention和动词give之间是被动关系，故填be given。
10．are expected 考查时态和语态。be expected to do意为“预计做……”，且句子描述的是一般性事实，应用一般现在时；主语是they，故填are expected。

On the way, numerous things flooded into my mind, and I especially thought about how life should be going.I was thirty years old, a mother of three girls — five－year－old twins and a one－year－old baby.At this moment, I should be playing with them in the park or visiting the library together.But I was, once again, going to see the doctor.It had been a year since I was diagnosed with cancer.I knew that I was one of the lucky ones.I was grateful that surgery and chemotherapy (化疗) were over, and this was just a routine blood test.As always, there was the remaining fear that the cancer would come back.To be honest, my family and friends were great during the past year when I was in bad condition, but they were also busy with their lives.Therefore, I did not want to burden them with my feelings of unhappiness.What I just wanted to see were the positive things in life and I really wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude to them.
When we finally arrived, we sat in a crowded waiting room.Nothing special occurred until my youngest daughter, dressed up as an angel, walked up to a woman who was in a wheelchair and accompanied by her caregiver.My daughter looked at the woman and pointed to the vending (售货) machine next to her, saying sweetly, “Tweet.” This was how she said “Trick or Treat”， who had been coached previously by her twin sisters.

(2023·西安模拟)Writers of science fiction often feel more prescient (预知的) than others.Whether the threat to women's rights in the work of Margaret Atwood, the architectural and social dystopias (反乌托邦) of J．G.Ballard's novels, or the Internet－predicting world of E M．Forster's The Machine Stops, the genre is filled with prescient writers dealing with ever more familiar issues.
Out of all such writers, few seem more likely to predict our times than the American author Philip K．Dick, who died in 1982.In the 30－year period of work, Dick wrote 44 novels and countless short stories, adaptations of which went on to redefine science fiction on screen.
Dick had a surprising ability to predict what would happen in modern world.The famous science－fiction and fantasy author Stan Nicholls suggests Dick's work is prescient because it explored the future through the then－present.“His stories supposed the popularity of the Internet, virtual reality, facial recognition software, driverless cars and 3D printing，” Nicholls said — while also pointing out that “it's a misinterpretation that prediction is the primary purpose of science fiction.The genre's hit rate is actually not very good in that respect.Like all the best science fiction, his stories weren't really about the future, they were about the here and now.”
Whether his visions were, as he believed, a product of small problems in the simulation or his fading mental health, one thing is for certain — the world in which the work of Philip K．Dick is well known today feels ever closer to the ones imagined by this most unique and exceptional writer.

一、主题下的语篇训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2023·雅礼中学模拟)The literary world has a new star.Novelist Abdulrazak Gurnah is the winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature in recognition of his “compassionate penetration (洞察力) of the effects of colonialism (殖民主义) and the fate of the refugee (难民)”．
Gurnah grew up in Zanzibar, an island off the coast of Tanzania.In 1964, Gurnah was forced to leave for England as a refugee, where he began to reflect on his experiences in a diary and then through stories.Through the years, he wrote 10 novels and stories that explore the suffering caused by war and colonialism.“The thing that motivated the whole experience of writing for me was this idea of losing your place in the world，” Gurnah told The New York Times.
His 1994 novel Paradise, which tells the story of a boy growing up in early 20th century Tanzania, marked his breakthrough as a novelist and won the Booker Prize.Afterlives, his most recent work, continues the narrative of Paradise and takes place during the period of German colonialism in Tanzania.
Before he retired, Gurnah, 73, was a professor of English and Postcolonial Literatures at the University of Kent in England.Although Gurnah's first language is Swahili, he adopted English as his literary language.His writing often contains traces of Arabic, Swahili and German, as well.
Anders Olsson, the chair of the Nobel committee, said that Gurnah “is widely recognized as one of the world's more preeminent post－colonial writers”．
Ethiopian－American novelist Maaza Mengiste described Gurnah's writings as being “like a gentle blade (刀刃) slowly moving in”. “He has written work that is absolutely unfearing and yet at the same time completely compassionate and full of heart for people of East Africa，” Mengiste said.“He is writing stories that are often quiet stories of people who aren't heard, but there's an insistence there that we listen.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了2021年诺贝尔文学奖获得者——小说家Abdulrazak Gurnah的作品内容、写作背景及别人对其作品的评价。
1．What are Gurnah's works mainly about
A．The life of the people in Tanzania.
B．Effects of war and colonialism.
C．Experiences of living abroad.
D．Growth in an underdeveloped nation.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知，Gurnah的作品主要与战争和殖民主义的影响有关。
2．What do we know about Gurnah
A．He was inspired to write by his refugee experience.
B．He used to be a professor of law and literature.
C．He publishes his works in Arabic and Swahili.
D．He was not well－known until he won the Nobel Prize.
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据第二段第二、三句可知，Gurnah的难民经历激发了他的写作灵感。
3．What does the underlined word “preeminent” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A．Awful. B．Outstanding.
C．Potential. D．Productive.
解析：选B 词义猜测题。根据前文描述可知，Gurnah得到世界认可，获得了诺贝尔文学奖，所以他是一位杰出的小说家，故可推测画线词意为“杰出的”，与outstanding同义。
4．What does Maaza Mengiste think of Gurnah's writing
A．It is elegantly written in his native language.
B．It is widely welcomed by people around the world.
C．It is powerful and employs sharp language.
D．It calls for attention to the life of the underclass.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可知，Maaza Mengiste认为Gurnah的作品讲述的是那些不为人知的人的故事，呼吁人们关注下层阶级的生活。

一、主题下的语篇训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2023·雅礼中学模拟)The literary world has a new star.Novelist Abdulrazak Gurnah is the winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature in recognition of his “compassionate penetration (洞察力) of the effects of colonialism (殖民主义) and the fate of the refugee (难民)”．
Gurnah grew up in Zanzibar, an island off the coast of Tanzania.In 1964, Gurnah was forced to leave for England as a refugee, where he began to reflect on his experiences in a diary and then through stories.Through the years, he wrote 10 novels and stories that explore the suffering caused by war and colonialism.“The thing that motivated the whole experience of writing for me was this idea of losing your place in the world，” Gurnah told The New York Times.
His 1994 novel Paradise, which tells the story of a boy growing up in early 20th century Tanzania, marked his breakthrough as a novelist and won the Booker Prize.Afterlives, his most recent work, continues the narrative of Paradise and takes place during the period of German colonialism in Tanzania.
Before he retired, Gurnah, 73, was a professor of English and Postcolonial Literatures at the University of Kent in England.Although Gurnah's first language is Swahili, he adopted English as his literary language.His writing often contains traces of Arabic, Swahili and German, as well.
Anders Olsson, the chair of the Nobel committee, said that Gurnah “is widely recognized as one of the world's more preeminent post－colonial writers”．
Ethiopian－American novelist Maaza Mengiste described Gurnah's writings as being “like a gentle blade (刀刃) slowly moving in”. “He has written work that is absolutely unfearing and yet at the same time completely compassionate and full of heart for people of East Africa，” Mengiste said.“He is writing stories that are often quiet stories of people who aren't heard, but there's an insistence there that we listen.”
