A
There is a kind of woman in the world who has the ability to complete the difficult challenges of their own life and to inspire (激励) others to achieve great things. They’re strong and independent, wise and successful, talented and brave, and can teach all of us a lot.
Still Alice
In this film, we can have a look at a family’s relationships, fears, worries and struggles. The film’s main character Alice, aged 50, fights bravely with Alzheimer’s disease: she’s the perfect example of an iron-willed woman.
Julianne Moore’s amazing performance adds extra charm to this character.
Erin Brockovich
The film is about Erin Brockovich, a strong yet easily-hurt woman, but ordinary weakness is not allowed in her situation. She may not be a genius, but her persistence (坚韧) and care about others allow her to achieve the impossible: a victory over a powerful and major company that is literally poisoning people.
When you are about to give up on something, simply watch this movie for encouragement.
The Devil Wears Prada
As an assistant to impossibly demanding New York fashion magazine editor Miranda Priestly, young Andy Sachs has landed a job that “a million girls would die for.” Unluckily, her heaven-sent post as Miranda’s assistant just might be the death of her!
There’s a very classic line in the film: Let me know when your whole life goes up in smoke. That means it’s time for a promotion (提拔).
Mona Lisa Smile
This movie teaches you about dignity (尊严), courage and persistence, and the central theme is learning to have a mind of your own.
Katherine Watson is a recent UCLA graduate hired to teach art history at the all-female Wellesley College, in 1953. Determined to face up to the outdated customs of society, Katherine inspires her traditional students to challenge the lives they are expected to lead.
1. What is the film Erin Brockovich trying to tell us

B. Many hands make light work.

While most people are inspired by the motto(座右铭), “you’re never too old to learn something new,” Kimeila Campbell has also shown that you’re never too young to bring about change. Born in Jamaica and then having moved to the United States, Kimeila grew up watching her entrepreneur (创业者) mother run an event space.
“Seeing her go through ups and downs made me want to be an entrepreneur too,” said Kimeila, who sometimes helped her mom at Glitz Elite Events Studio. “I thought for my age, maybe I’m too young. My mom said it could help other kids and teen entrepreneurs instead of just making money for myself.”
With this ambition(雄心), she started her own monthly magazine in January when she celebrated her 14th birthday. Her YNTY magazine -- which stands for You’re Never Too Young -- aims to inspire young and upcoming entrepreneurs, influencers and public figures(公众人物). It is to inspire people younger than 18 to follow their dreams whatever their age.
“Nowadays, teenagers look up to rich women and men on social media and dream to be like them, without any idea of the price they had to pay to get to where they are now,” Kimeila said to the QSN website. “Consider your choices carefully and make goals for where you want to be in the future.”
In the magazine, Kimeila shows hot topics, daily affirmations (每日警句) in business, as well as suggestions from professionals and those who have made it in their industries. Meanwhile, the YNTY magazine also includes a special part in which necessary steps are given to parents of young entrepreneurs to help and guide their children. “One thing I’d like my readers to know is that ... if you believe you can do it, YNTY is where you can come to find a community of comfort and confidence to support your dreams.”
Kimeila refused to wait until she’s older to make a difference in the world. In the next five years, the young girl wants to make the YNTY magazine “appear on newsstands around the world, in various languages, a famous name and the source ‘kidpreneurs (少年企业家)’ go to for advice and inspiration whenever they feel discouraged or at a loss,” the QNS website noted.

Once upon a time, researchers dreamed of building a robot storyteller. It would not only entertain (娱乐) young children, but also help them learn well. This dream has come true. The robot is called Tega. It is cute and appears to be useful in increasing young children’s language skills. Developed by a team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Tega sounds like a child, makes its body and face full of life while storytelling and explains the tales on a screen with pictures.
In an eight-week experiment, Tega read picture books to 67 children aged from 4 to 6 in weekly meetings lasting an hour. During the meetings, Tega asked questions to have knowledge of the listeners’ language skills, tested them on a word’s meaning or asked them to describe a character. For example, Tega asked, “What do you think will happen to the boy ” Tega also recorded the facial expressions and body positions of the children to see how interested they were. For example, keeping the body forward was considered a good sign. After the book was finished, the children retold the story to Tega in their own words.
One group of kids played with a personalized version (版本) of the robot, which improved each time it interacted with the kids, learning about their language skills from the conversations they had. For this group, Tega chose which book to read based on what it thought would be most suitable for the children’s language level. Every second time, Tega would replace (替换) several words in the story for these children with more difficult words with similar meanings, such as “clamour” in place of “noise”.
A second group interacted with a non-personalized Tega that remembered the children each week, but chose stories to read at random (随机的) from its library of 81 picture books. For this group, the story difficulty increased every two weeks. A third group of kids didn’t interact with Tega at all.
Several weeks after the last meeting, the team found that all the children who played with Tega had increased their vocabularies (词汇), but the personalized group learned the most words. Their error rate on a vocabulary test dropped by 23 percent, almost double that of the non-personalized group. The stories that the children told back to the personalized robot were also longer and more wonderful, says team member Hae Won Park.
8. What do we know about Tega
A It has a voice of an adult.
B. It is connected to the Internet.
C. It can tell stories in a lively way.
D. It is mainly designed to entertain kids.
9. Why did Tega ask questions during the meetings

B. Young kids really love interacting with others.
C. The robot needs to be improved to work better.
D. The personalized version of the robot helps kids most.
11. What is the text mainly about

While riding hard on a bike, do you feel like you are saving the planet Or do you just feel out of breath In fact, cycling is now considered one of the best weapons mankind can use in the fight against climate change.
The United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution (决议) in March supporting bicycles as a tool for dealing with climate change. The resolution calls on member states to “add the bicycle to public transportation, in the city and countryside, in developing and developed countries”, with all 193 members of the UN agreeing upon the resolution.
The decision has received positive comments from different groups in support of cycling and the environmental awareness internationally. “It’s an important step toward the recognition of cycling as an important means of transport,” said the European Cyclists Federation.
The resolution from the UN comes at a time when climate change has returned to the center of the world’s attention. On February 28, the UN published a new report assessing (评估) recent climate change trends (趋势). The report warns that the world’s average temperature will rise by 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels (1850-1900), with more than 40% of the world’s population being “easily affected” to these temperature changes.
Cycling is an environmentally friendly means of transport. Choosing to take a bike instead of a car just once a day can reduce a person’s carbon emission (碳排放) from transport by 67 percent, according to a research by the University of Oxford. The research also found that cyclists produced 84 percent lower CO 2 emissions from all daily travel than non-cyclists.
Cycling has grown in popularity as people who take public transport to work wish to stay away from crowded public transport and also like taking any opportunity to exercise. Cycling culture has been further encouraged with the influence of COVID-19. In May 2020, bike sales in Spain increased 22 times compared with 2019. In London, large parts of the city are being closed off to cars so that people can walk and cycle safely.
More importantly, the resolution focuses on bike-sharing services, which could be seen as recognition of China’s bike-sharing success, noted CGTN. China has some of the largest bike-sharing systems in the world. This means of transport that produces zero emissions reduces the amount of CO2 sent out into the atmosphere (大气层) by 4.8 million tons every year, according to a 2020 report from the World Resources Institute.
12. What is the resolution aimed at
A. Winning all member states’ support.
B. Making bicycles part of public transport.
C. Dealing with the problem of climate change.
D. Making people healthier and more athletic.
13. What leads to the popularity of the resolution according to the text
A. The whole world’s attention on climate change.
B. Cycling is encouraged in numerous countries.
C. China’s success in Bike-sharing systems.
D. More people wish to exercise more.
14. Why is cycling considered the best weapon against climate change
A. It get people to exercise and stay healthy.
B. It can largely reduce our carbon footprint.
C. It can reduce the influence of the COVID-19.
D. It helps us stay away from crowded public transport.
15. What would be the best title for the text
A. Cycling to improve health B. Cycling to a climate solution
C. Why is cycling so important D. A new resolution by the UN
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了骑自行车有助于解决气候变化问题。

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The resolution from the UN comes at a time when climate change has returned to the center of the world’s attention. (联合国的这项决议出台之际，气候变化已重新成为世界关注的焦点。)”可知，全世界都在关注气候变化致使决议很受欢迎。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Choosing to take a bike instead of a car just once a day can reduce a person’s carbon emission (碳排放) from transport by 67 percent, according to a research by the University of Oxford.

(根据牛津大学的一项研究，选择每天骑一次自行车而不是开车可以减少一个人67%的交通碳排放量。研究还发现，骑自行车的人在日常出行中产生的二氧化碳排放量比不骑自行车的人低84%。)”可知，骑车可以大大减少我们的碳足迹。故选B项。
15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段中“In fact, cycling is now considered one of the best weapons mankind can use in the fight against climate change. (事实上，骑自行车现在被认为是人类对抗气候变化的最佳武器之一。)”可知，这篇文章主要内容是骑自行车有助于解决气候变化问题，因此最好的标题是“骑车解决气候问题”。故选B项。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Can you recognize the moment when you realize you’ve mastered a foreign language It’s not when you get a perfect grade on a grammar test. It’s when you start thinking in that language! ____16____ . Here are some tips that will help you achieve the goal.
Stop the Translating Habit
Don’t try to say something after thinking of a sentence word by word in your own language, and then translating it into foreign words. It’s of little use because the logical(合乎逻辑的) flow of words in your mother tongue won’t sound well in a foreign language. When you’re thinking of something to say, start with the main parts of the sentence: the subject and the verb. ____17____.
Learn Words in Pairs
It’s easier to learn the words when you add them into context(语境), and you connect them with one another. If, for example, you’re learning the word morning in a foreign language, you should also look up for words that go with it, such as good or early. You should also pair it with the opposites and check out some words that have similar meaning. ____18____.
Pay Attention to Grammar
Vocabulary is very important when you’re learning a foreign language, but that doesn’t mean you should forget all about the grammar rules. You can’t start thinking in a non-native(非母语的) language if you haven’t mastered its grammar basics. Make sure to put the rules you learn into practice every single day, and keep track of your progress.
Practice Writing
A writing practice will help you keep track of your progress, but it will also help you remember the things you’ve learned. ____19____. Make sure you use proper grammar. This practice will not only make you a more confident speaker, but it will also help you start thinking in a foreign language.
Practice Speaking and Listening
That’s the final tip that leads you to perfection. Turn speaking and listening into a daily activity. You can listen to audiobooks(有声读物) in the foreign language, and then talk to someone about the impressions. If you don’t have anyone to talk to, just get in an empty room, record your speech and listen to it. ____20____.
A. You’ll surely recognize the signs of progress.
B. That’s the best way to build up a huge vocabulary.
C. You will find yourself better at understanding them.
D. Try to notice and correct the mistakes in your writing.
E. Then, it will be easy for you to build your sentence upon that.
F. Remembering good sentences will go a long way towards writing a good article.
G. And it takes hard work for your inner thoughts to start flowing in a language that’s not native.

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 annual Halloween arrived, during which kids dressed in traditional clothes went to neighbors’ houses to ask for candy.
Allison lived in a small town. That day after dinner, Allison put on her dress her father had just bought for her. The dress was cheap and second-hand because her family was poor. But Allison still thanked her dad and said, “Everyone will love my dress!” Then, she left for neighbors’ houses to ask for candy.
On the way, she came across Anna and her friends and wanted to join them. “No! Look at your dress! It’s ugly!” Anna said. Her friends also laughed. “Look at our dresses, especially mine! It’s new and beautiful,” Anna added. Her friends nodded, and in some way they were right. Anna’s dress was shiny and looked expensive. She always had the best clothes because her parents were rich.
Allison was shocked and sad. The kids not only disliked her dress but made fun of it. “You can’t come with us!” Anna stressed. “We would never hang out with you!” The other kids agreed and laughed. They all left to start collecting candy for the night while Allison was left alone, embarrassed in the middle of the street.
Anyway, she knew all the neighbors. She often helped around carrying their groceries and helping them with their gardens. People around there knew her. She didn’t need to hangout with Anna or her friends. “I’ll go just alone,” the little girl said to herself and started walking.
She as well as Anna and her friends walked in the same direction: towards their first neighbor Mrs Vaughan’s house. But Allison walked behind and kept her distance from them. And she stopped when Anna and her friends were near Mrs Vaughan’s house.
Just then, Mrs Vaughan looked out of her window. She noticed that Allison was being excluded by Anna and her friends. She knew it was probably because of Allison’s poor dress. She immediately felt pity for Allison, who often helped her and other neighbors. She decided to give Allison much more candy as a reward and teach Anna and her friends a lesson.
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。
When Anna and her friends knocked on her door, Mrs Vaughan opened it.

Anna looked up and said, “Our clothes are more beautiful! But you gave Allison more candy! Why ”
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】When Anna and her friends knocked on her door, Mrs Vaughan opened it. The girls greeted her, showed off their beautiful clothes and asked for candy. Mrs Vaughan, who held a bag of sweets, asked them to wait for a moment. Then, she waved to Allison, calling out, “Dear, come here!” When Allison came, Mrs Vaughan said, “Oh, how beautiful you are today!” Then, she gave Allison most of her candy although the girl declined. When Allison walked away, Mrs Vaughan divided the rest of the candy among Anna and her friends, who were a little angry and confused.
Anna looked up and said, “Our clothes are more beautiful! But you gave Allison more candy! Why ” Mrs Vaughan looked down calmly and explained that Allison was always friendly to neighbors. “She has great inner beauty. Inner beauty is more important. Why not be friends with her ” Mrs Vaughan added. Hearing that, Anna and her friends’ faces turned red and they realized they had done something wrong. They said goodbye to Mrs Vaughan, caught up with Allison, and sincerely invited Allison to join them. Allison nodded gladly and had new friends, who would no longer judge her by her clothes.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。一年一度的感恩节到来，孩子们盛装打扮去向邻居索要糖果，家境贫穷的艾利森因为衣服廉价而被安娜和她的朋友们排挤，看到这一切的沃恩太太决定给安娜他们一个教训，于是沃恩太太给了艾利森更多的糖果并告诉安娜他们这是因为艾利森经常帮助邻居们，她的内在更美，于是孩子们意识到了自己的错误并主动邀请艾莉森成为了朋友。
详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“当安娜和她的朋友们敲她的门时，沃恩太太开了门。”可知，第一段可描写沃恩太太给了艾利森更多的糖果，而给了安娜和她的朋友们很少的糖果。
②由第二段首句内容“安娜抬起头说：‘我们的衣服更漂亮!但你给了艾莉森更多的糖果！为什么？’”可知，第二段可描写沃恩太太解释说是因为艾利森的内在更美并鼓励安娜和她的朋友们和艾利森成为朋友。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
A
There is a kind of woman in the world who has the ability to complete the difficult challenges of their own life and to inspire (激励) others to achieve great things. They’re strong and independent, wise and successful, talented and brave, and can teach all of us a lot.
Still Alice
In this film, we can have a look at a family’s relationships, fears, worries and struggles. The film’s main character Alice, aged 50, fights bravely with Alzheimer’s disease: she’s the perfect example of an iron-willed woman.
Julianne Moore’s amazing performance adds extra charm to this character.
Erin Brockovich
The film is about Erin Brockovich, a strong yet easily-hurt woman, but ordinary weakness is not allowed in her situation. She may not be a genius, but her persistence (坚韧) and care about others allow her to achieve the impossible: a victory over a powerful and major company that is literally poisoning people.
When you are about to give up on something, simply watch this movie for encouragement.
The Devil Wears Prada
As an assistant to impossibly demanding New York fashion magazine editor Miranda Priestly, young Andy Sachs has landed a job that “a million girls would die for.” Unluckily, her heaven-sent post as Miranda’s assistant just might be the death of her!
There’s a very classic line in the film: Let me know when your whole life goes up in smoke. That means it’s time for a promotion (提拔).
Mona Lisa Smile
This movie teaches you about dignity (尊严), courage and persistence, and the central theme is learning to have a mind of your own.
Katherine Watson is a recent UCLA graduate hired to teach art history at the all-female Wellesley College, in 1953. Determined to face up to the outdated customs of society, Katherine inspires her traditional students to challenge the lives they are expected to lead.
1. What is the film Erin Brockovich trying to tell us
A. Never ever give up.
B. Many hands make light work.
C. Cross the bridge when you come to it.
D. Don’t put the cart before the horse.
2. Which film mainly focuses on teaching you how to think for yourself

C. Mona Lisa Smile. D. The Devil Wears Prada.
3. What do the four films have in common
A Winning a number of film awards.
B. Singing high praise for great women.

D. Fighting for women’s social position.

While most people are inspired by the motto(座右铭), “you’re never too old to learn something new,” Kimeila Campbell has also shown that you’re never too young to bring about change. Born in Jamaica and then having moved to the United States, Kimeila grew up watching her entrepreneur (创业者) mother run an event space.
“Seeing her go through ups and downs made me want to be an entrepreneur too,” said Kimeila, who sometimes helped her mom at Glitz Elite Events Studio. “I thought for my age, maybe I’m too young. My mom said it could help other kids and teen entrepreneurs instead of just making money for myself.”
With this ambition(雄心), she started her own monthly magazine in January when she celebrated her 14th birthday. Her YNTY magazine -- which stands for You’re Never Too Young -- aims to inspire young and upcoming entrepreneurs, influencers and public figures(公众人物). It is to inspire people younger than 18 to follow their dreams whatever their age.
“Nowadays, teenagers look up to rich women and men on social media and dream to be like them, without any idea of the price they had to pay to get to where they are now,” Kimeila said to the QSN website. “Consider your choices carefully and make goals for where you want to be in the future.”
In the magazine, Kimeila shows hot topics, daily affirmations (每日警句) in business, as well as suggestions from professionals and those who have made it in their industries. Meanwhile, the YNTY magazine also includes a special part in which necessary steps are given to parents of young entrepreneurs to help and guide their children. “One thing I’d like my readers to know is that ... if you believe you can do it, YNTY is where you can come to find a community of comfort and confidence to support your dreams.”
Kimeila refused to wait until she’s older to make a difference in the world. In the next five years, the young girl wants to make the YNTY magazine “appear on newsstands around the world, in various languages, a famous name and the source ‘kidpreneurs (少年企业家)’ go to for advice and inspiration whenever they feel discouraged or at a loss,” the QNS website noted.
4. What does the article tell us about Campell
A. She was born and raised in the US.
B. Her mom inspired her to be an entrepreneur.
C. Her motto is “You are never too young”.
D. She wants to run her own events studio in the future.
5. Why does Campell have the goal of starting her YNTY Magazine
A. To get to know more public figures.
B. To earn herself money and fame.
C. To inspire young entrepreneurs.
D. To promote her mom’s event space.
6. What can readers expect to read in YNTY Magazine
A. Popular fashion topics
B. Suggestions from teachers.
C. Daily jokes about business
D. Tips for parents of young entrepreneurs
7. Which of the following best describes Campell
A. Helpful and ambitious B. Organized and modest
C. Creative and careful D. Brave and emotional.
C
Once upon a time, researchers dreamed of building a robot storyteller. It would not only entertain (娱乐) young children, but also help them learn well. This dream has come true. The robot is called Tega. It is cute and appears to be useful in increasing young children’s language skills. Developed by a team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Tega sounds like a child, makes its body and face full of life while storytelling and explains the tales on a screen with pictures.
In an eight-week experiment, Tega read picture books to 67 children aged from 4 to 6 in weekly meetings lasting an hour. During the meetings, Tega asked questions to have knowledge of the listeners’ language skills, tested them on a word’s meaning or asked them to describe a character. For example, Tega asked, “What do you think will happen to the boy ” Tega also recorded the facial expressions and body positions of the children to see how interested they were. For example, keeping the body forward was considered a good sign. After the book was finished, the children retold the story to Tega in their own words.
One group of kids played with a personalized version (版本) of the robot, which improved each time it interacted with the kids, learning about their language skills from the conversations they had. For this group, Tega chose which book to read based on what it thought would be most suitable for the children’s language level. Every second time, Tega would replace (替换) several words in the story for these children with more difficult words with similar meanings, such as “clamour” in place of “noise”.
A second group interacted with a non-personalized Tega that remembered the children each week, but chose stories to read at random (随机的) from its library of 81 picture books. For this group, the story difficulty increased every two weeks. A third group of kids didn’t interact with Tega at all.
Several weeks after the last meeting, the team found that all the children who played with Tega had increased their vocabularies (词汇), but the personalized group learned the most words. Their error rate on a vocabulary test dropped by 23 percent, almost double that of the non-personalized group. The stories that the children told back to the personalized robot were also longer and more wonderful, says team member Hae Won Park.

While riding hard on a bike, do you feel like you are saving the planet Or do you just feel out of breath In fact, cycling is now considered one of the best weapons mankind can use in the fight against climate change.
The United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution (决议) in March supporting bicycles as a tool for dealing with climate change. The resolution calls on member states to “add the bicycle to public transportation, in the city and countryside, in developing and developed countries”, with all 193 members of the UN agreeing upon the resolution.
The decision has received positive comments from different groups in support of cycling and the environmental awareness internationally. “It’s an important step toward the recognition of cycling as an important means of transport,” said the European Cyclists Federation.
The resolution from the UN comes at a time when climate change has returned to the center of the world’s attention. On February 28 the UN published a new report assessing (评估) recent climate change trends (趋势). The report warns that the world’s average temperature will rise by 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels (1850-1900), with more than 40% of the world’s population being “easily affected” to these temperature changes.
Cycling is an environmentally friendly means of transport. Choosing to take a bike instead of a car just once a day can reduce a person’s carbon emission (碳排放) from transport by 67 percent, according to a research by the University of Oxford. The research also found that cyclists produced 84 percent lower CO 2 emissions from all daily travel than non-cyclists.
Cycling has grown in popularity as people who take public transport to work wish to stay away from crowded public transport and also like taking any opportunity to exercise. Cycling culture has been further encouraged with the influence of COVID-19. In May 2020, bike sales in Spain increased 22 times compared with 2019. In London, large parts of the city are being closed off to cars so that people can walk and cycle safely.
More importantly, the resolution focuses on bike-sharing services, which could be seen as recognition of China’s bike-sharing success, noted CGTN. China has some of the largest bike-sharing systems in the world. This means of transport that produces zero emissions reduces the amount of CO2 sent out into the atmosphere (大气层) by 4.8 million tons every year, according to a 2020 report from the World Resources Institute.
12. What is the resolution aimed at
A. Winning all member states’ support.
B. Making bicycles part of public transport.
C. Dealing with the problem of climate change.
D. Making people healthier and more athletic.
13. What leads to the popularity of the resolution according to the text
A. The whole world’s attention on climate change.
B. Cycling is encouraged in numerous countries.
C. China’s success in Bike-sharing systems.
D More people wish to exercise more.
14. Why is cycling considered the best weapon against climate change
A. It get people to exercise and stay healthy.
B. It can largely reduce our carbon footprint.
C. It can reduce the influence of the COVID-19.
D. It helps us stay away from crowded public transport.
15. What would be the best title for the text
A. Cycling to improve health B. Cycling to a climate solution
C. Why is cycling so important D. A new resolution by the UN

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Can you recognize the moment when you realize you’ve mastered a foreign language It’s not when you get a perfect grade on a grammar test. It’s when you start thinking in that language! ____16____ . Here are some tips that will help you achieve the goal.
Stop the Translating Habit
Don’t try to say something after thinking of a sentence word by word in your own language, and then translating it into foreign words. It’s of little use because the logical(合乎逻辑的) flow of words in your mother tongue won’t sound well in a foreign language. When you’re thinking of something to say, start with the main parts of the sentence: the subject and the verb. ____17____.
Learn Words in Pairs
It’s easier to learn the words when you add them into context(语境), and you connect them with one another. If, for example, you’re learning the word morning in a foreign language, you should also look up for words that go with it, such as good or early. You should also pair it with the opposites and check out some words that have similar meaning. ____18____.
Pay Attention to Grammar
Vocabulary is very important when you’re learning a foreign language, but that doesn’t mean you should forget all about the grammar rules. You can’t start thinking in a non-native(非母语的) language if you haven’t mastered its grammar basics. Make sure to put the rules you learn into practice every single day, and keep track of your progress.
Practice Writing
A writing practice will help you keep track of your progress, but it will also help you remember the things you’ve learned. ____19____. Make sure you use proper grammar. This practice will not only make you a more confident speaker, but it will also help you start thinking in a foreign language.
Practice Speaking and Listening
That’s the final tip that leads you to perfection. Turn speaking and listening into a daily activity. You can listen to audiobooks(有声读物) in the foreign language, and then talk to someone about the impressions. If you don’t have anyone to talk to, just get in an empty room, record your speech and listen to it. ____20____.
A. You’ll surely recognize the signs of progress.
B. That’s the best way to build up a huge vocabulary.
C. You will find yourself better at understanding them.
D. Try to notice and correct the mistakes in your writing.
E. Then, it will be easy for you to build your sentence upon that.
F. Remembering good sentences will go a long way towards writing a good article.
G. And it takes hard work for your inner thoughts to start flowing in a language that’s not native.

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 annual Halloween arrived, during which kids dressed in traditional clothes went to neighbors’ houses to ask for candy.
Allison lived in a small town. That day after dinner, Allison put on her dress her father had just bought for her. The dress was cheap and second-hand because her family was poor. But Allison still thanked her dad and said, “Everyone will love my dress!” Then, she left for neighbors’ houses to ask for candy.
On the way, she came across Anna and her friends and wanted to join them. “No! Look at your dress! It’s ugly!” Anna said. Her friends also laughed. “Look at our dresses, especially mine! It’s new and beautiful,” Anna added. Her friends nodded, and in some way they were right. Anna’s dress was shiny and looked expensive. She always had the best clothes because her parents were rich.
Allison was shocked and sad. The kids not only disliked her dress but made fun of it. “You can’t come with us!” Anna stressed. “We would never hang out with you!” The other kids agreed and laughed. They all left to start collecting candy for the night while Allison was left alone, embarrassed in the middle of the street.
Anyway, she knew all the neighbors. She often helped around carrying their groceries and helping them with their gardens. People around there knew her. She didn’t need to hangout with Anna or her friends. “I’ll go just alone,” the little girl said to herself and started walking.
She as well as Anna and her friends walked in the same direction: towards their first neighbor Mrs Vaughan’s house. But Allison walked behind and kept her distance from them. And she stopped when Anna and her friends were near Mrs Vaughan’s house.
Just then, Mrs Vaughan looked out of her window. She noticed that Allison was being excluded by Anna and her friends. She knew it was probably because of Allison’s poor dress. She immediately felt pity for Allison, who often helped her and other neighbors. She decided to give Allison much more candy as a reward and teach Anna and her friends a lesson.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
