During a decline in tourism, one national park in Thailand has seen a dramatic rise in “visitors” recently. So many are the hermit crabs(寄居蟹) flooding into the otherwise empty beaches of Koh Lanta that shells(贝壳) for them to live in have become in short supply.
The Thai government moved quickly to ease the housing shortage, launching a public appeal for empty shells that netted over 200 kg. On December 5 these were distributed around the park in a ceremony.
Hermit crabs rely on shells to protect their soft bodies, moving to larger shells as they grow. On Koh Lanta and the surrounding smaller islands, their rapid increase seems to be a natural phenomenon, rather than directly related to the absence of tourists. But the shortage of shells may be man-made: pretty ones have long been gathered to be sold as goods. Crabs had begun to make do with potential death-traps such as plastic caps and bottles.
The shell drive was part of a government initiative to “regain the balance of nature”. “I have instructed all national parks to do whatever it takes,” says Varawut Silpa-archa, the minister for natural resources. His inspiration comes from the pause in tourism brought on by COVID-19.A ban on international visitors and the closure of national parks have helped nature recover, bringing endangered leatherback turtles back onto Thai beaches. In the coastal provinces of Phang Nga and Phuket, turtles have laid the largest number of eggs for 20 years.
The government has decided to try to copy the short break forced on it by COVID-19 in future. From now on, all national parks will be required to close for a short period during the off-season and to limit the number of tourists through a reservation system when they are open. Although such restrictions mean reduced earnings from tourism in the short term, in the longer run more parks may help to keep the tourists coming.
6.What happened to the beaches of Koh Lanta recently
A. They got flooded by seawater. B. They became completely empty.
C. They were packed with hermit crabs. D. They saw a constant stream of tourists.
7.What contributed to the housing shortage for hermit crabs
A. Natural disasters. B. Human activities.
C. Their preference for bottles. D. The government’s involvement.
8.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “initiative” in Paragraph 4
A. advocacy. B. activity. C. method. D. Upgrad.
9.Why are turtles mentioned in Paragraph 4
A. To warn turtles are dying out.
B. To prove beaches are their ideal habitats.
C. To stress ecological diversity of Thailand.
D. To illustrate the birth of Varawut’s inspiration.
10.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Developing Economy or Protecting Animals
B. Closing National Parks or Drawing More Visitors
C. Governments Are Responsible for the Balance of Nature
D. Authorities Help to Find Shelters for Homeless Hermit Crabs

Last year, wildfire spread through Boulder, Colorado. It wasn’t a hot summer day. It wasn’t a forested neighborhood. It was winter in the suburbs (郊区). More than 1,000 homes and buildings burned.
Large parts of the country that don’t have wildfires are now at risk. They include nearly 80 million homes and buildings. That’s what new data shows. Over the next 30 years, the risk will only grow. The group First Street Foundation created a program called Fire Factor. People can go to a website to learn what their wildfire risk is in 2022 and in 2052. Right now, about 16% of Americans live in risky places. By 2052, that will go up to 21%.
California will likely suffer a lot from wildfire. That’s partly because it is so big and partly because of its weather. So California will be on the top of the at-risk list. But nearly half of all at-risk Americans in 2052 will live in the southern half of the U.S. The South will be home to the largest number of people at high risk: 32 million. States like Texas, Florida, Oklahoma, and North and South Carolina will be “in the line of fire,” so to speak, and so will southwestern states like Arizona and New Mexico.
People are doing many things to make fire risk worse. They are moving to places where wildfire is a natural yearly event. They are building homes right next to plants and trees that can burn. Climate change has increased heat and dryness. That means any spark (火花) at any time can cause a big fire.
As with many climate threats, wildfires put minorities (少数群体) at the greatest risk. By 2052, about 44% of all Native Americans will live in places at major risk from wildfire. Nearly 1 in 4 Hispanics will. People who don’t speak English or own cars will have a harder time learning about and getting away from a fast-moving fire.
11．What problem did Boulder have last year
A．Strange weather. B．Huge loss of forests.
C．Widespread wildfires. D．A rapid drop in populations.
12．What does the new data show
A．About 16% of Americans are safe now.
B．The risky areas of wildfire are increasing.
C．The risk of wildfire will be lowered in 2052.
D．Nearly 80 million homes are burnt down by wildfire.
13．Which of the following will be the most dangerous in 2052
A．Florida. B．South Carolina. C．California. D．New Mexico.
14．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．Reasons why wildfire risk is worse.
B．Dangers humans may face in the future.
C．Actions taken by humans to prevent fire.
D．Suggestions for self-protection in wildfire.
15．How many Hispanics will live in risky places by 2052
A．About 16%. B．About 21%. C．About 25%. D．About 44%.

Advice for High School Students
As a person who is graduating from high school very soon, I have some suggestions for students in high school or students who are soon going to be high school students. 16 I am sure others can benefit from reading them and will not make similar mistakes like me.
17 Do not value first impressions highly. Don’t dismiss a person or an idea too early just because you immediately get a bad impression. You will miss many opportunities because of that. Although something seems bad at the first impression, it does not mean it is bad all the time. Try to give everything a fair chance.
Don’t try to please everybody. There is no way you can please everybody or get everybody to agree with you. 18 It is a huge waste of time.
Have respect for authority. No matter how much you may dislike them, just remember that teachers and parents care about you and they are only doing their jobs. 19 Don’t argue with them and just obey them.
Realize a high school is not the real world. The real world isn’t a closed environment. 20 What is rewarded in high school such as popularity and agreement is different from what is rewarded in the real world. If high school isn’t working out for you, you may find yourself better at handling the real world.
A. Do not be too quick to judge. B. It is a free society where people accept responsibility for their actions. C. Listen to their advice and consider it carefully. D. Many of these are based on regrets that I have. E. Don’t spend any effort trying to please others who will never like you.

When I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary and advised me to use it. I was 21 to see that it was an English-English dictionary, also known as a monolingual(单语的) dictionary. Although it was a dictionary intended for non-native learners, none of my classmates had one and, to be honest, I found it extremely 22 to use at first. I would 23 words in the dictionary but still could not fully understand the meanings. I was used to the 24 English-Chinese dictionaries, in which the words are 25 both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt gave me such 26 to make things so difficult for me. Now, I understand that monolingual dictionaries are 27 in learning a foreign language.
As I 28 ,there is, in fact, often no perfect equivalent(对应物) between two 29 in two languages. My aunt even 30 that even a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the 31 meaning of the word in English! Therefore, she insisted that I read the definition of a word in a monolingual dictionary when I wanted to get a better 32 of its meaning. Gradually, I have come to see what she 33 .
Using a monolingual dictionary has helped me in another important way. This dictionary uses a(n) 34 number of words, around 2,000,in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am 35 exposed to the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas. Because of this, I can express myself more easily in English.
21.A.worried B. sad C. surprised D.nervous
22.A.difficult B .interesting C. important D. practical
23.A.look over B. look up C. take down D .take up
24.A.new B .familiar C. informed D. confusing
25.A.explained B. expressed C. described D. created
26.A.appreciation B. courage C. advice D. power
27.A.more natural B. better C. more convenient D. easier
28.A.checked out B. broke down C. found out D. turned up
29.A.words B .names C. ideas D. characters
30.A.hoped B. declared C. complained D. dreamt
31.A.exact B. basic C. translated D. expected
32.A.understanding B. practice C. expression D. consideration
33.A.wanted B. preferred C. meant D. suffered
34.A.extra B. average C. total D. limited
35.A.repeatedly B. nearly C. immediately D. anxiously
Ⅳ.语法填空（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）
阅读下列短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
There are different kinds of customs in the world, which can teach us about the cultures of different countries. For instance, if you are to attend a wedding ceremony in India, you are to have a 36 (complete) new experience different from that in China. One of the most 37 (impress) scene is the bridegroom's entrance on a beautiful white horse. Another is the part when the bride's father proudly led his daughter to her husband. 38 our two cultures are so different, the smiling faces are the same. The couple would join hands and walk around a small fire and make a different promise about 39 they were going to support each other and live together happily. If one day you go to Brazil, you simply must seize the chance 40 (take) part in the Carnival held annually. People in Brazil would take a week 41 for the happy occasion. A group of around 20 Brazilian dancers and a band in fancy costumes were standing in the street, some of whom 42 (carry) flags blowing in the wind. Then there was 43 explosion of bright colors and lively music, and the group jumped into action. The band started playing an 44 (energy) samba beat, the dancers twisted and turned, and the crowd began to cheer, clap and sing. The whole group would march down the road, 45 (dance) all the way. You would be so caught up in the party fever that you could hardly notice time fly by!

1. --I’m taking my driving test next week.
--_____!
A. Good luck B. Cheers C. Come on D. Congratulations
2.--Do you mind if I open the window
--______I feel a bit cold.
A. Of course not. B. Why not C. Go ahead. D. I’d rather you didn’t.

5. --I’m sorry. That wasn’t of much help.
--Oh, ______. As a matter of fact, it was most helpful.
A. sure it was B. it doesn’t matter C. of course not D. thanks anyway
参考答案：
1. A。Congratulations是当对方取得成绩时，向对方表示祝贺的用话，cheers意思是“欢呼、喝彩”，come on表示劝说，意思是“来!快!”，Gook luck是向对方表示祝愿的用语，刚好符合语境。
2.D。根据答语“I feel a bit cold. ”可知，不想让别人开窗户，故选I’d rather you didn’t(虚拟语气，我宁愿你不开窗)。A、C项前后矛盾。
3. B。句意--亲爱的，我们出去吃饭吧。--太好了，我不必做饭了。所以选That’s great。Forget it. 没关系；Go ahead说吧；做吧。
4. D。句意：--约翰逊教授，恐怕我不能在本周内完成报告。--好吧，下周如何？That’s OK/ all right表示原谅对方，“没关系”。
5. A。后句中的As a matter of fact, it was most helpful,可知是对前句表意的否定，所以sure it was合适。句意：--对不起，那帮助不太大。--当然不是了，实际上，它很有用。
Ⅱ.阅读（共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分）
第一节 阅读下列短文；掌握其大意；然后从每题所给 的A、B、C、D项中选出最佳选项。
A
During a decline in tourism, one national park in Thailand has seen a dramatic rise in “visitors” recently. So many are the hermit crabs(寄居蟹) flooding into the otherwise empty beaches of Koh Lanta that shells(贝壳) for them to live in have become in short supply.
The Thai government moved quickly to ease the housing shortage, launching a public appeal for empty shells that netted over 200 kg. On December 5 these were distributed around the park in a ceremony.
Hermit crabs rely on shells to protect their soft bodies, moving to larger shells as they grow. On Koh Lanta and the surrounding smaller islands, their rapid increase seems to be a natural phenomenon, rather than directly related to the absence of tourists. But the shortage of shells may be man-made: pretty ones have long been gathered to be sold as goods. Crabs had begun to make do with potential death-traps such as plastic caps and bottles.
The shell drive was part of a government initiative to “regain the balance of nature”. “I have instructed all national parks to do whatever it takes,” says Varawut Silpa-archa, the minister for natural resources. His inspiration comes from the pause in tourism brought on by COVID-19.A ban on international visitors and the closure of national parks have helped nature recover, bringing endangered leatherback turtles back onto Thai beaches. In the coastal provinces of Phang Nga and Phuket, turtles have laid the largest number of eggs for 20 years.
The government has decided to try to copy the short break forced on it by COVID-19 in future. From now on, all national parks will be required to close for a short period during the off-season and to limit the number of tourists through a reservation system when they are open. Although such restrictions mean reduced earnings from tourism in the short term, in the longer run more parks may help to keep the tourists coming.
6.What happened to the beaches of Koh Lanta recently
A. They got flooded by seawater. B. They became completely empty.
C. They were packed with hermit crabs. D. They saw a constant stream of tourists.
7.What contributed to the housing shortage for hermit crabs
A. Natural disasters. B. Human activities.
C. Their preference for bottles. D. The government’s involvement.
8.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “initiative” in Paragraph 4
A. advocacy. B. activity. C. method. D. Upgrad.
9.Why are turtles mentioned in Paragraph 4
A. To warn turtles are dying out.
B. To prove beaches are their ideal habitats.
C. To stress ecological diversity of Thailand.
D. To illustrate the birth of Varawut’s inspiration.
10.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Developing Economy or Protecting Animals
B. Closing National Parks or Drawing More Visitors
C. Governments Are Responsible for the Balance of Nature
D. Authorities Help to Find Shelters for Homeless Hermit Crabs
参考答案:
本文是一篇说明文。在泰国的一个国家公园,大量的寄居蟹涌入导致它们赖以生存的贝壳供不应求,泰国政府对此现象采取了措施。
6.C 解析 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知,Koh Lanta海滩聚集了大量的寄居蟹。
7.B 解析 推理判断题。根据第三段第三句可知,人类将漂亮的贝壳捡拾售卖,这导致了贝壳数量的减少,让寄居蟹没有了可以居住的地方。由此可知,人类活动导致了寄居蟹的“住房短缺”。
8.A 解析 词义猜测题；根据第四段第一句The shell drive was part of a government initiative to “regain the balance of nature”.（贝壳驱动是政府“恢复自然平衡”倡议的一部分。）可知initiative意思为举措；倡议；故选A。
9.D 解析 推理判断题。根据第四段第三、四句可知,作者在第四段提及棱皮龟是为了说明Varawut 的灵感的起源。
10.D 解析 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了在泰国的一个国家公园,大量的寄居蟹涌入导致它们赖以生存的贝壳供不应求及泰国政府对此现象采取的措施。D项“政府帮助无家可归的寄居蟹寻找贝壳”是本文的最佳标题。
B
Last year, wildfire spread through Boulder, Colorado. It wasn’t a hot summer day. It wasn’t a forested neighborhood. It was winter in the suburbs (郊区). More than 1,000 homes and buildings burned.
Large parts of the country that don’t have wildfires are now at risk. They include nearly 80 million homes and buildings. That’s what new data shows. Over the next 30 years, the risk will only grow. The group First Street Foundation created a program called Fire Factor. People can go to a website to learn what their wildfire risk is in 2022 and in 2052. Right now, about 16% of Americans live in risky places. By 2052, that will go up to 21%.
California will likely suffer a lot from wildfire. That’s partly because it is so big and partly because of its weather. So California will be on the top of the at-risk list. But nearly half of all at-risk Americans in 2052 will live in the southern half of the U.S. The South will be home to the largest number of people at high risk: 32 million. States like Texas, Florida, Oklahoma, and North and South Carolina will be “in the line of fire,” so to speak, and so will southwestern states like Arizona and New Mexico.
People are doing many things to make fire risk worse. They are moving to places where wildfire is a natural yearly event. They are building homes right next to plants and trees that can burn. Climate change has increased heat and dryness. That means any spark (火花) at any time can cause a big fire.
As with many climate threats, wildfires put minorities (少数群体) at the greatest risk. By 2052, about 44% of all Native Americans will live in places at major risk from wildfire. Nearly 1 in 4 Hispanics will. People who don’t speak English or own cars will have a harder time learning about and getting away from a fast-moving fire.
11．What problem did Boulder have last year
A．Strange weather. B．Huge loss of forests.
C．Widespread wildfires. D．A rapid drop in populations.
12．What does the new data show
A．About 16% of Americans are safe now.
B．The risky areas of wildfire are increasing.
C．The risk of wildfire will be lowered in 2052.
D．Nearly 80 million homes are burnt down by wildfire.
13．Which of the following will be the most dangerous in 2052
A．Florida. B．South Carolina. C．California. D．New Mexico.
14．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．Reasons why wildfire risk is worse.
B．Dangers humans may face in the future.
C．Actions taken by humans to prevent fire.
D．Suggestions for self-protection in wildfire.
15．How many Hispanics will live in risky places by 2052
A．About 16%. B．About 21%. C．About 25%. D．About 44%.
参考答案：
11.细节理解题。根据文章第一段Last0year，wildfire spread through Boulder Colorado.(去年，野火蔓延到科罗拉多州的博尔德市。)和More than 1，000 homes and buildings burned.(超过1000座房屋和建TX围的野火。故选C项。
12.细节理解题。根据文章第二段Large parts of the country that don't have wildfires are now at risk. They include nearly 80 million homes and buildings. That's what new data shows.

13.细节理解题。根据文章第三段California will likely suffer a lot from wildfire. That's partly because it is so big and partly because of its weather. So California will be on the top of the at-risk list.(加州可能会受到野火的严重影响。部分原因是它太大了，部分原因是它的天气。因此，加州将在风险名单上名列前茅。)可知，到2052年，加州将是最危险的。故选C项
14.段落大意题。根据文章第四段People are doing many things to make fire risk worse. They are moving to places where wildfire is a natural yearly event .They are building homes right next to plants and trees that can burn. Climate change has increased heat and dryness. That means any spark (火花) at any time can cause a big fire.(人们做的很多事情都加剧了火灾风险。他们正搬到每年都会发生野火的地方。他们把房子建在可能燃烧的植物和树木旁边。气候变化加剧了炎热和干燥。这意味着任何时候的任何火花都可能引起一场大火。)可知，本段的主要内容是介绍了野火风险加剧的原因。故选A项
15.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段By2052，about 44% of all Native Americans will live in places at major risk from wildfire. Nearly 1in 4 Hispanics will.(到2052年，大约44%的美国原住民将生活在野火风险很大的地方。将近四分之一的西班牙裔人也将会如此。)可知，到2052年，将有25%的西班牙裔人生活在危险地区。故选C项。
第二节 阅读下列短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项
Advice for High School Students
As a person who is graduating from high school very soon, I have some suggestions for students in high school or students who are soon going to be high school students. 16 I am sure others can benefit from reading them and will not make similar mistakes like me.
17 Do not value first impressions highly. Don’t dismiss a person or an idea too early just because you immediately get a bad impression. You will miss many opportunities because of that. Although something seems bad at the first impression, it does not mean it is bad all the time. Try to give everything a fair chance.
Don’t try to please everybody. There is no way you can please everybody or get everybody to agree with you. 18 It is a huge waste of time.
Have respect for authority. No matter how much you may dislike them, just remember that teachers and parents care about you and they are only doing their jobs. 19 Don’t argue with them and just obey them.
Realize a high school is not the real world. The real world isn’t a closed environment. 20 What is rewarded in high school such as popularity and agreement is different from what is rewarded in the real world. If high school isn’t working out for you, you may find yourself better at handling the real world.
A. Do not be too quick to judge. B. It is a free society where people accept responsibility for their actions. C. Listen to their advice and consider it carefully. D. Many of these are based on regrets that I have. E. Don’t spend any effort trying to please others who will never like you.

阅读下列短文；掌握其大意；然后从每题所给 的A、B、C、D项中选出最佳选项。
When I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary and advised me to use it. I was 21 to see that it was an English-English dictionary, also known as a monolingual(单语的) dictionary. Although it was a dictionary intended for non-native learners, none of my classmates had one and, to be honest, I found it extremely 22 to use at first. I would 23 words in the dictionary but still could not fully understand the meanings. I was used to the 24 English-Chinese dictionaries, in which the words are 25 both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt gave me such 26 to make things so difficult for me. Now, I understand that monolingual dictionaries are 27 in learning a foreign language.
As I 28 ,there is, in fact, often no perfect equivalent(对应物) between two 29 in two languages. My aunt even 30 that even a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the 31 meaning of the word in English! Therefore, she insisted that I read the definition of a word in a monolingual dictionary when I wanted to get a better 32 of its meaning. Gradually, I have come to see what she 33 .
Using a monolingual dictionary has helped me in another important way. This dictionary uses a(n) 34 number of words, around 2,000,in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am 35 exposed to the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas. Because of this, I can express myself more easily in English.
21.A.worried B. sad C. surprised D.nervous
22.A.difficult B .interesting C. important D. practical
23.A.look over B. look up C. take down D .take up
24.A.new B .familiar C. informed D. confusing
25.A.explained B. expressed C. described D. created
26.A.appreciation B. courage C. advice D. power
27.A.more natural B. better C. more convenient D. easier
28.A.checked out B. broke down C. found out D. turned up
29.A.words B .names C. ideas D. characters
30.A.hoped B. declared C. complained D. dreamt
31.A.exact B. basic C. translated D. expected
32.A.understanding B. practice C. expression D. consideration
33.A.wanted B. preferred C. meant D. suffered
34.A.extra B. average C. total D. limited
35.A.repeatedly B. nearly C. immediately D. anxiously
参考答案：
作者主要讲述了自己上大学时得到了第一本英英词典,开始使用时很不习惯,感觉用起来很困难,但随着自己的英语水平不断提高,作者逐渐感觉到使用英英词典让自己受益匪浅。
21. C解析考查形容词及语境理解。worried“焦虑的”;sad“伤心的”;surprised“吃惊的”;nervous“紧张的”。从下文可知,作者是一个中国大学生,尽管这本词典是专为非英语母语的学习者设计的,但作者及其同学从前从没用过这样的词典,所以当作者看到英英词典的时候,他感到“吃惊的”。故选C项。
22. A解析考查形容词及语境理解。difficult“困难的”;interesting“有趣的”;important“重要的”;practical“实用的”。作者开始使用英英词典,不习惯,且下文“but still could not fully understand the meanings”提到并不能完全理解意思,应是感觉用起来“很难difficult”。故选A项。
23. B解析考查动词短语及语境理解。look over “检查”;look up “查阅”;take down “拆开”;take up “从事;占据”。句意为:“我会在字典中查阅词汇。”故选B项。
24. B解析考查形容词及语境理解。new“新的”;familiar“熟悉的”;informed“有学问的”;confusing “令人困惑的”。be used to表示“习惯……”,根据语境可知,对作者来说应是习惯了“熟悉的”双语词典。故选B项。
25. A解析考查动词及语境理解。explain“解释”;express“表达”;describe“描述”;creat“创建”。此句是一个定语从句,根据常识:在词典中单词的意思是被“解释出来”的,所以用explained。故选A项。
26. C解析考查名词及语境理解。appreciation “欣赏;鉴赏”;courage “勇气”;advice “建议”;power “力量”。根据语境可知,我过去纳闷姑妈为什么给这样的建议。故选C项。
27. B解析考查形容词及语境理解。more natural“更自然的”;better“更好的”;more convenient“更方便的”;easier“更容易的”。此句中monolingual dictionaries和bilingual dictionaries比较,better强调更好,更实用,故选B项。
28. C解析考查动词短语及语境理解。check out “检出;检查”;break down “崩溃;破坏”;find out “发现;查明”;turn up “出现”。正如我发现的,事实上,两种语言中的两个词之间往往没有完美的对应关系。故选C项。
29. A解析考查名词及语境理解。word“单词”;name“名字”;idea“想法”;character“特点;字符”。从下文的“姑妈甚至还声称汉语意思决不能给出一个英语‘单词’的确切意思”可知,是“两种语言之间的两个单词没有完全的对应”。故选A项。
30. B解析考查动词及语境理解。hope“希望”;declare“声明”;complain“抱怨”;dream “做梦”。根据语境可知,我姑妈甚至还“声称”汉语的对应词决不能给出一个英语单词的确切意思。故选B项。
31. A解析考查形容词及语境理解。exact“确切的”;basic“基本的”;translated“翻译的”;expected“期望的”。根据句意可知,姑妈甚至还声称汉语意思决不能给出一个英语单词的“确切”意思。故选A项。
32. A解析考查名词及语境理解。understanding“理解”;practice“实践”;expression“表达”;consideration“考虑”。根据句意可知,姑妈坚持让我在想更好地理解某个单词的词义时,读英英词典的单词释义。故选A项。
33. C考查动词及语境理解。want “想要”;prefer “偏好;选择”;mean “意思;意味着”;suffer “忍受;患病”。我逐渐明白了她的意思。根据上文“she insisted that I read the definition of a word”可知是“意味着”。故选C项。
34. D解析考查形容词及语境理解。extra“额外的”;average“平均的”;total“总的”;limited“有限的”。从后面的around 2,000可知,词典中用于解释词义的词量是有限的。故选D项。
35. A解析考查副词及语境理解。repeatedly“反复地”;nearly“将近”;immediately“立即”;anxiously“焦急地”。在有限的范围内,查阅释义的话,就会反复接触基本词汇并学会用这些词汇解释事物和观点,所以用repeatedly表示“反复地,经常地”。故选A项。
Ⅳ.语法填空（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）
阅读下列短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

One of the most 37 (impress) scene is the bridegroom's entrance on a beautiful white horse. Another is the part when the bride's father proudly led his daughter to her husband. 38 our two cultures are so different, the smiling faces are the same. The couple would join hands and walk around a small fire and make a different promise about 39 they were going to support each other and live together happily. If one day you go to Brazil, you simply must seize the chance 40 (take) part in the Carnival held annually. People in Brazil would take a week 41 for the happy occasion. A group of around 20 Brazilian dancers and a band in fancy costumes were standing in the street, some of whom 42 (carry) flags blowing in the wind. Then there was 43 explosion of bright colors and lively music, and the group jumped into action. The band started playing an 44 (energy) samba beat, the dancers twisted and turned, and the crowd began to cheer, clap and sing. The whole group would march down the road, 45 (dance) all the way. You would be so caught up in the party fever that you could hardly notice time fly by!

参考答案：
Dear friends,
I’d like to share my own learning experience with you, as I hope it can be useful to you.
First of all, do more reading and writing. Reading is the key to opening your eyes, while writing is a helpful way to make good use of what you have learned. Besides, make a reasonable study schedule. Though study comes first, you need relaxation as well. In order not to be tired, I have been actively taking part in after- school activities. By doing so, I can spare time to develop a strong social ability. Last but not least, I prefer studying by myself, which gives me the chance to succeed in solving hard problems.
In a word, just remember that developing your own learning style is the best.
Yours,
Li Hua
