Clifton College’s The English Experience
Location: Bristol Ages: 12 to 17
Fees (费用): 2 Weeks: 2740; 3 Weeks: 4110; 4 Weeks: 5480
Start Dates: 9, 16, 23, 30 July & 6, 13 August 2023
The English Experience challenges students while building their confidence in English and many other skills that are useful inside and outside the classroom. At the beginning of each week, students are put into small groups and given a complex problem to work through to find a solution and present it in their chosen way. Teachers are there to guide the students, which is why class sizes are 12 at most.
In the afternoons, students choose an elective (选修科目) to follow for 6 hours per week. These include such courses as news reporting, presentation skills, a Mini UN, and creative writing. Extra electives such as professional golf, tennis, and football coaching, as well as horse riding and exam preparation, lead to an additional cost.
Students go on two full-day excursions (短途旅行) per week. Mid-week excursions are planned around that week’s topic, so on the environmental week we go to a local environmental activity centre, while the theatre week involves a trip to a West End show with a drama workshop. Saturday excursions are more relaxed but still engaging, and include set time for shopping. Sunday excursions are shorter but also include an entrance to a local attraction.
21. What do we know about The English Experience
A. It has six different time periods. B. It admits 12 students at most.
C. It divides students into two groups. D. It only trains students’ English skills.

Today, I’ve been recording an audiobook. I am excited that I have realized my life-long dream.
I will never forget at primary school I used to wait with breathless anticipation to take my turn reading out a paragraph of great works in front. At my secondary school, when students were encouraged to select and present a reading at “morning talk”, I often added my name to the list.
This was all handy background for my career in broadcasting. But, much as I enjoy hosting shows and interviewing people, I often find myself missing the simple pleasures of reading out loud. I’d thought about putting myself forward as a narrator for audiobooks. But I’m not an actor. I can’t do regional accents or play female voice. Non-fiction, then, seemed the obvious target, but I felt that such books were best read by their original authors. If it were authors’ own voice, their stories would touch me.
Recently, delivering my son’s nightly bedtime story has reawakened my love for reading out loud — highlights so far have included Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Charlotte’s Web. But I never thought I’d get the opportunity to do it professionally.
Then, last month, I was contacted by James Plunkett, writer of End State, a forthcoming book about political ideas. He had no desire to read his book out loud, but as a fan of my program, he thought I might do a reasonable job.
So, I’ve spent this week in a studio, simply reading stuff out loud. And I’m LOVING IT!
Mind you, it’s an entirely unexpected experience. It’s disheartening when the recording needs to be stopped because I’ve just carelessly skipped over a “the”, or had to clear my throat, or catch my breath. I’ve also learned how many words I’ve been mispronouncing my entire life: behavioural is BE-HAYVE-YOU-RAL, not BE-HAYVE-EE-AH-RUL.
Though tackling this 339-page book doesn’t turn out to be that easy, I’ve found the whole process awesome, and hope this becomes the first of many.
24. What does the author want to show by mentioning his experiences at school
A. The power of dreaming.
B. His love for reading aloud.
C. The impact of schooling.
D. His talent for reading.
25. What can we learn about the author from paragraph 3
A. He regrets being a TV host.
B. He has no taste for non-fiction.

26. Why could the author get the job as a narrator
A. He was specifically invited.
B. He applied for it in person.
C. He loved reading bedtime stories.
D. He had a big crowd of fans.
27. What does the author think of being a narrator
A. Demanding but enjoyable.
B. Risky but fruitful.
C. Tiring but stress-free.
D. Boring but rewarding.

China successfully launched 22 new satellites in a single ride on Sunday morning, setting a new national record, from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in southern Hainan Province.
A modified (改进的) version of China’s Long March-8 carrier rocket blasted off (发射升空) at 11:06 am and flew for more than 15 minutes before deploying all of the 22 small satellites into their designated (指定的) orbits.
The satellites, built by seven institutes and private companies, have individual tasks including collecting commercial remote-sensing data, environmental monitoring, forest fire prevention and disaster reduction.
“You can call it a shared rocket if you want, said Xiao Yun”, the commander in chief for the launch. “We prepare one or two types of rockets every year for that. If there are many satellites to launch, we use a big rocket. If only a few to launch, we have smaller rockets.”
Today’s launch marks the 409th mission of China’s Long March rocket series.
Long March-8 has been redesigned and this is the second launch of the Long March-8 rocket, which is designed by the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT) aiming at commercial launches. The first mission launched in late 2020.
It’s clearly noticeable in the launch video that the new rocket lacks the two boosters (助推器) found on its predecessor (上一代), which means the design is one step closer to making the first stages reusable like SpaceX’s Falcon 9.
Reusable design can save launch costs and help achieve better commercial success.
“The Long March-8 can launch 3 tonnes of satellites into low Earth orbit (LEO) or medium Earth orbit”, said Wu Yitian, deputy chief designer of the rocket. “Such rockets are urgently needed by the market, especially to launch Earth observation satellites.”
A China Media Group report said the Long March-8 will hopefully become the main type for future LEO missions.
28. What does the underlined word “deploying” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A Placing. B. Applying. C. Lifting. D. Linking.
29. What can we learn from the passage
A. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 is equipped with two boosters.
B. Reusable design of rockets has a promising future.
C. The 22 small satellites launched have a common task.
D. LEO missions have adopted the Long March-8 as its main type.
30. Why is Long March-8 called a “shared” rocket
A. One or two rockets are shared per year.
B. Satellites share the same commercial tasks.
C. Satellites launched into space share one rocket.
D. Rocket launches have been shared among institutes.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Reusable Design has been A Trend in Rocket Making Industry.
B. Shared Rockets have Achieved Remarkable Success in the Market.
C. China Successfully Launches Multi-functional Satellites into Space.
D. China Sends 22 Satellites into Orbit with Redesigned Long March-8.
D
When it comes to going green, intention can be easier than action. Case in point: you decide to buy a T shirt made from 100% organic cotton. But that green label doesn’t tell the whole story — like the fact that even organic cotton requires more than 2,640 gal. (10,000 L) of water to grow enough fiber for one T shirt. Or the possibility that the T shirt may have been dyed (染色) using harmful industrial chemicals. If you knew all that, would you still consider the T shirt green Would you still buy it
It’s a question that most of us are ill-equipped to answer. That’s because the global economy development has outpaced our ability to comprehend the consequences — for ourselves and the planet. We are not prepared to understand the increasing impact of industrial chemicals on our children’s health or the climate. And we lack the data to understand the full impact of what we choose.
But what if we could calculate the full lifetime effect of our actions on the earth and on our bodies Not just carbon footprints but social and biological footprints as well What if we could think ecologically That’s what psychologist Daniel Goleman describes in his forthcoming book, Ecological Intelligence. He compiles (汇编) the environmental and biological impact of our every decision and delivers that information to consumers in a user-friendly way. That’s thinking ecologically — understanding the global environmental consequences of our local choices.
Ecological intelligence is ultimately about more than what we buy. It’s also about our ability to accept that we live in an closely connected world with limited resources. Goleman highlights the Tibetan community of Sher, where for thousands of years, villagers have survived severe conditions by carefully conserving every resource available to them. The Tibetans think ecologically because they have no other choice. Neither do we. “We once had the luxury to ignore our impacts,” says Goleman. “Not any more.”
32. Why is it hard for us to decide whether a T shirt is green or not
A. The green label tells lies. B. We lack enough knowledge.
C. The economy grows too slowly. D. We are misled by false data.
33. What can readers do after reading Ecological Intelligence
A. Increase carbon footprint. B. Give up regular consumption.
C. Develop ecological thinking. D. Deliver information to customers.
34. How do the Tibetans of Sher live
A. By searching for new resources. B. By living on plentiful resources.
C. By treasuring their resources. D. By distributing resources reasonably.
35. What’s the purpose of the text
A. To praise Tibetan villagers. B. To solve an environmental problem.
C. To instruct how to go green. D. To advocate ecological intelligence.

“Usual boring day!” This would be the answer from John if somebody asked him how his day was. These days he found everything boring, nothing excited him.
One day he was lying in his room as usual. After a while he felt it was rather hot in his room. Though he did not want to leave his room, he had to. Unwillingly, he left his room and came to the living room which was slightly cool as it had two huge windows.
His young brother was playing with his friend. They were rolling on the floor. He was looking out for the TV remote, but couldn't find it. He got up and searched for it everywhere, but the remote was nowhere. He looked at his brother who was still lying on the floor playing. He asked him, “Where is the remote ” “Under the sofa, ” his brother yelled.
He tried to look through, but it was dark. He put his hand under the sofa. He touched something, grabbed it and took his hand out. Oh! It was a snake in his hand!
After seeing that his brother started to cry, “Snake, snake!” Mom came as soon as she heard his shouting. She too was horrified to see a snake. She was so scared that she even couldn't speak a word. Two kids were trying to hide into each other's back. “What an old trick!” Roman thought and threw it to the kids.
As the snake landed on the floor near to the kids, it started moving from the left side to the right. Only then did John realize that the snake was real, not a toy. He threw the snake to the kids because he thought it was a fake snake and the kids were playing some tricks.
This time Mom almost got a heart attack. Now he was scared too. The snake was only 10 meters away from the kids and was staring at the kids. They even couldn't call a rescue team. There might be some deadly damage before their arrival. There was not much time to think. It was the time for a quick action.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
As John was farther from the snake, he jumped to the window and grabbed the curtain.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
After the rescue team caught and took away the snake, everyone went inside the home.

Today, I’ve been recording an audiobook. I am excited that I have realized my life-long dream.
I will never forget at primary school I used to wait with breathless anticipation to take my turn reading out a paragraph of great works in front. At my secondary school, when students were encouraged to select and present a reading at “morning talk”, I often added my name to the list.
This was all handy background for my career in broadcasting. But, much as I enjoy hosting shows and interviewing people, I often find myself missing the simple pleasures of reading out loud. I’d thought about putting myself forward as a narrator for audiobooks. But I’m not an actor. I can’t do regional accents or play female voice. Non-fiction, then, seemed the obvious target, but I felt that such books were best read by their original authors. If it were authors’ own voice, their stories would touch me.
Recently, delivering my son’s nightly bedtime story has reawakened my love for reading out loud — highlights so far have included Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Charlotte’s Web. But I never thought I’d get the opportunity to do it professionally.
Then, last month, I was contacted by James Plunkett, writer of End State, a forthcoming book about political ideas. He had no desire to read his book out loud, but as a fan of my program, he thought I might do a reasonable job.
So, I’ve spent this week in a studio, simply reading stuff out loud. And I’m LOVING IT!
Mind you, it’s an entirely unexpected experience. It’s disheartening when the recording needs to be stopped because I’ve just carelessly skipped over a “the”, or had to clear my throat, or catch my breath. I’ve also learned how many words I’ve been mispronouncing my entire life: behavioural is BE-HAYVE-YOU-RAL, not BE-HAYVE-EE-AH-RUL.
Though tackling this 339-page book doesn’t turn out to be that easy, I’ve found the whole process awesome, and hope this becomes the first of many.
24. What does the author want to show by mentioning his experiences at school
A. The power of dreaming.
B. His love for reading aloud.
C. The impact of schooling.

At my secondary school, when students were encouraged to select and present a reading at “morning talk”, I often added my name to the list.(我永远不会忘记上小学时，我总是屏息以待，等着轮到我朗读面前的一段名著。在我上中学的时候，当学校鼓励学生在“晨间谈话”中选择并朗读一篇阅读材料时，我经常把自己的名字加到名单上)”可知，作者小学时，经常期待着能轮到自己阅读作品，在中学时经常把自己的名字添加到朗读者的名单中，由此推知，作者提及在上学期间的经历是为了表明自己对朗读的热爱。故选B项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“I’d thought about putting myself forward as a narrator for audiobooks. But I’m not an actor. I can’t do regional accents or play female voice.(我曾想过让自己成为有声读物的旁白。但我不是演员。我不会讲地方口音，也不会扮演女声)”可知，作者意识到自己还有很多的不足。故选D项。

细节理解题。根据第五段“Then, last month, I was contacted by James Plunkett, author of End State, a forthcoming book about political ideas.

China successfully launched 22 new satellites in a single ride on Sunday morning, setting a new national record, from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in southern Hainan Province.
A modified (改进的) version of China’s Long March-8 carrier rocket blasted off (发射升空) at 11:06 am and flew for more than 15 minutes before deploying all of the 22 small satellites into their designated (指定的) orbits.
The satellites, built by seven institutes and private companies, have individual tasks including collecting commercial remote-sensing data, environmental monitoring, forest fire prevention and disaster reduction.
“You can call it a shared rocket if you want, said Xiao Yun”, the commander in chief for the launch. “We prepare one or two types of rockets every year for that. If there are many satellites to launch, we use a big rocket. If only a few to launch, we have smaller rockets.”
Today’s launch marks the 409th mission of China’s Long March rocket series.
Long March-8 has been redesigned and this is the second launch of the Long March-8 rocket, which is designed by the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT) aiming at commercial launches. The first mission launched in late 2020.
It’s clearly noticeable in the launch video that the new rocket lacks the two boosters (助推器) found on its predecessor (上一代), which means the design is one step closer to making the first stages reusable like SpaceX’s Falcon 9.
Reusable design can save launch costs and help achieve better commercial success.
“The Long March-8 can launch 3 tonnes of satellites into low Earth orbit (LEO) or medium Earth orbit”, said Wu Yitian, deputy chief designer of the rocket. “Such rockets are urgently needed by the market, especially to launch Earth observation satellites.”
A China Media Group report said the Long March-8 will hopefully become the main type for future LEO missions.
28. What does the underlined word “deploying” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Placing. B. Applying. C. Lifting. D. Linking.
29. What can we learn from the passage
A. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 is equipped with two boosters.
B. Reusable design of rockets has a promising future.
C. The 22 small satellites launched have a common task.
D. LEO missions have adopted the Long March-8 as its main type.
30. Why is Long March-8 called a “shared” rocket
A. One or two rockets are shared per year.
B. Satellites share the same commercial tasks.
C. Satellites launched into space share one rocket.
D. Rocket launches have been shared among institutes.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Reusable Design has been A Trend in Rocket Making Industry.
B. Shared Rockets have Achieved Remarkable Success in the Market.
C. China Successfully Launches Multi-functional Satellites into Space.
D. China Sends 22 Satellites into Orbit with Redesigned Long March-8.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国用重新设计的长征八号火箭将22颗卫星成功送入轨道，创造了新的国家纪录。
【28题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段中“China successfully launched 22 new satellites in a single ride on Sunday morning(周日上午，中国一次性成功发射了22颗新卫星)”和划线单词上下文“A modified (改进的) version of China’s Long March-8 carrier rocket blasted off (发射升空) at 11:06 am and flew for more than 15 minutes before deploying all of the 22 small satellites into their designated (指定的) orbits.(中国长征八号运载火箭的改进型号于上午11:06发射升空，飞行了超过15分钟，然后将所有22颗小型卫星……指定轨道。)”可知，中国一次性成功发射了22颗新卫星，具体过程是，中国长征八号运载火箭的改进型号先发射升空，接着飞行了超过15分钟，然后就把22颗小型卫星放置到指定轨道，由此可推知划线单词“deploying”意思是“放置”，与A项“placing(放置)”意思一样，故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Reusable design can save launch costs and help achieve better commercial success.(可重复使用的设计可以节省启动成本，并有助于取得更好的商业成功。)”可知，可重复使用的火箭设计可以节省启动成本，并有助于取得更好的商业成功，由此可推知，可重复使用的火箭设计有着广阔的前景。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段““You can call it a shared rocket if you want,” said Xiao Yun, the commander in chief for the launch. “We prepare one or two types of rockets every year for that. If there are many satellites to launch, we use a big rocket. If only a few to launch, we have smaller rockets.”(“如果你愿意，你可以称之为共享火箭，”发射总指挥肖耘说。“我们每年为此准备一到两种火箭。如果有很多卫星要发射，我们就用一个大火箭。如果只能发射几枚，我们有更小的火箭。”)”可知，长征八号火箭被称之为共享火箭，是因为发射到太空的卫星共用这一枚火箭。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是前两段“China successfully launched 22 new satellites in a single ride on Sunday morning, setting a new national record, from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in southern Hainan Province.A modified (改进的) version of China’s Long March-8 carrier rocket blasted off (发射升空) at 11:06 am and flew for more than 15 minutes before deploying all of the 22 small satellites into their designated (指定的) orbits.(周日上午，中国在海南省文昌航天发射场一次成功发射22颗新卫星，创造了新的国家纪录。中国长征八号运载火箭改进型于上午11时06分发射升空，经过15分多钟的飞行，22颗小卫星全部进入预定轨道。)”可知，文章主要讲述了中国用重新设计的长征八号火箭将22颗卫星成功送入轨道，创造了新的国家纪录。由此可知，D项“China Sends 22 Satellites into Orbit with Redesigned Long March-8.(中国用重新设计的长征八号将22颗卫星送入轨道。)”最适合做文章标题，故选D。

When it comes to going green, intention can be easier than action. Case in point: you decide to buy a T shirt made from 100% organic cotton. But that green label doesn’t tell the whole story — like the fact that even organic cotton requires more than 2,640 gal. (10,000 L) of water to grow enough fiber for one T shirt. Or the possibility that the T shirt may have been dyed (染色) using harmful industrial chemicals. If you knew all that, would you still consider the T shirt green Would you still buy it
It’s a question that most of us are ill-equipped to answer. That’s because the global economy development has outpaced our ability to comprehend the consequences — for ourselves and the planet. We are not prepared to understand the increasing impact of industrial chemicals on our children’s health or the climate. And we lack the data to understand the full impact of what we choose.
But what if we could calculate the full lifetime effect of our actions on the earth and on our bodies Not just carbon footprints but social and biological footprints as well What if we could think ecologically That’s what psychologist Daniel Goleman describes in his forthcoming book, Ecological Intelligence. He compiles (汇编) the environmental and biological impact of our every decision and delivers that information to consumers in a user-friendly way. That’s thinking ecologically — understanding the global environmental consequences of our local choices.
Ecological intelligence is ultimately about more than what we buy. It’s also about our ability to accept that we live in an closely connected world with limited resources. Goleman highlights the Tibetan community of Sher, where for thousands of years, villagers have survived severe conditions by carefully conserving every resource available to them. The Tibetans think ecologically because they have no other choice. Neither do we. “We once had the luxury to ignore our impacts,” says Goleman. “Not any more.”
32. Why is it hard for us to decide whether a T shirt is green or not
A. The green label tells lies. B. We lack enough knowledge.
C. The economy grows too slowly. D. We are misled by false data.
33. What can readers do after reading Ecological Intelligence
A. Increase carbon footprint. B. Give up regular consumption.
C. Develop ecological thinking. D. Deliver information to customers.
34. How do the Tibetans of Sher live
A. By searching for new resources. B. By living on plentiful resources.
C. By treasuring their resources. D. By distributing resources reasonably.
35. What’s the purpose of the text
A. To praise Tibetan villagers. B. To solve an environmental problem.
C. To instruct how to go green. D. To advocate ecological intelligence.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章倡导大家作为消费者，要培养生态学思维方式。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But that green label doesn’t tell the whole story — like the fact that even organic cotton requires more than 2,640 gal. (10,000 L) of water to grow enough fiber for one T shirt. Or the possibility that the T shirt may have been dyed (染色) using harmful industrial chemicals. If you knew all that, would you still consider the T shirt green (但是这个绿色标签并不能说明全部情况——比如，即使是有机棉也需要超过2640加仑(10000升)的水来生产一件T恤所需的纤维。或者T恤可能是用有害的工业化学品染色的。如果你知道这一切，你还会认为这件T恤是绿色的吗 你还会买吗 )”及第二段“It’s a question that most of us are ill-equipped to answer. That’s because the global economy development has outpaced our ability to comprehend the consequences — for ourselves and the planet. We are not prepared to understand the increasing impact of industrial chemicals on our children’s health or the climate. And we lack the data to understand the full impact of what we choose. (这是一个我们大多数人都没有能力回答的问题。这是因为全球经济的发展已经超过了我们理解其后果的能力——对我们自己和地球都是如此。我们还没有准备好理解工业化学品对我们孩子的健康或气候的日益严重的影响。我们缺乏数据来理解我们选择的全部影响)”可知，我们只看标签是不够的，我们对背后的生产过程不了解，缺乏相关知识，很难知道这款产品是否环保。故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“He compiles (汇编) the environmental and biological impact of our every decision and delivers that information to consumers in a user-friendly way. That’s thinking ecologically — understanding the global environmental consequences of our local choices. (他汇总了我们每一个决定对环境和生物的影响，并以一种用户友好的方式将这些信息传递给消费者。这就是从生态学的角度思考——理解我们在当地的选择对全球环境造成的影响)”可知，作者在Ecological Intelligence一书中教读者学习从生态学的角度去思考。故选C项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Goleman highlights the Tibetan community of Sher, where for thousands of years, villagers have survived severe conditions by carefully conserving every resource available to them. The Tibetans think ecologically because they have no other choice. (戈尔曼特别提到了谢尔藏族社区，数千年来，这里的村民通过精心保护每一种可用的资源，在恶劣的条件下生存了下来。西藏人从生态角度思考，因为他们别无选择)”可知，西藏Sher社区的人们非常珍惜他们的资源。故选C项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。第一二段作者通过举例买一件T恤时，让读者思考如何判断这件衣物是否绿色环保，并指出，我们缺乏相关知识，第三段中“But what if we could calculate the full lifetime effect of our actions on the earth and on our bodies ... That’s what psychologist Daniel Goleman describes in his forthcoming book, Ecological Intelligence. (但是，如果我们能够计算出我们的行为对地球和我们身体的全部终身影响呢 ...这就是心理学家丹尼尔·戈尔曼在他即将出版的新书《生态智能》中所描述的)”提出ecological intelligence概念，并在最后一段“Ecological intelligence is ultimately about more than what we buy. It’s also about our ability to accept that we live in an closely connected world with limited resources. (生态智能最终不仅仅是关于我们买什么。这也关系到我们是否有能力接受我们生活在一个紧密相连、资源有限的世界)”指出，生态思维方式不仅限于购物，并举例西藏sher社区的做法，倡导我们都要培养生态学思维。故选D项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了被列入《世界遗产名录》福建土楼。
【56题详解】
考查介词。句意：它们的大小和高度也各不相同。根据句意可知，此处说明土楼的大小和高度都不同，vary in为固定搭配，意为“在……方面不同”。故填in。
【57题详解】
考查冠词。句意：土楼一般有3到5层，占地面积约5000平方米。根据句意可知，此处指土楼覆盖5000平方米的面积，可数名词area是泛指，需要用不定冠词修饰，area的发音以元音音素开头，不定冠词用an修饰。故填an。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：一个土楼可以容纳数百人，他们一起生活和工作，共享公共区域，以及公共设施，如井和楼梯。分析句子可知，提示词在定语从句中伴随状语，share是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语who(即先行词people)之间是主动关系，所以需要用现在分词。故填sharing。
【59题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：一个土楼可以容纳数百人，他们一起生活和工作，共享公共区域，以及公共设施，如井和楼梯。根据后文“such as the well and the stairs”可知，这里指的是多种公共设施，用复数形式。故填facilities。
【60题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：因此，一个土楼像一个村庄单元一样运作。分析句子可知，提示词是句中谓语动词，句子陈述客观事实，应用一般现在时，且主语a Tulou为第三人称单数，故谓语动词也使用单数形式。故填functions。
【61题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：最早的土楼建于13世纪，当时客家人在战争期间迁往福建。根据句意可知，该处指“最早的土楼”，提示词early用最高级形式。故填earliest。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：为了在这里永久定居，客家人根据当地的地理环境建造了土楼，既有居住的目的，也有防御的目的。结合句意分析句子，“(settle) here permanently”是客家人建造土楼的目的，用动词不定式作目的状语；句首单词首字母大写。故填To settle。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：土楼有一米多厚的泥墙，特殊设计的入口，高高的窗户和秘密隧道，可以有效地防御敌人。根据句意和句子结构可知，该空引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词mud walls，指物，关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作主语，用关系代词that或者which引导该定语从句。故填that/which。
【64题详解】
考查连词。句意：如今，成群结队的游客涌入这里，欣赏土楼令人难以置信的设计和技术，欣赏那里和谐的生活方式。根据句意，“look at the incredible designs and technologies of the Tulou”和“admire the harmonious living style there”是游客来到这里的目的，是并列关系，用并列连词and连接。故填and。
【65题详解】
考查形容词。句意：当你有机会时，为什么不去福建土楼看看这些令人印象深刻的土楼呢？提示词修饰earthen buildings，用形容词impressive作定语，意为“令人印象深刻的”。故填impressive。

67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
“Usual boring day!” This would be the answer from John if somebody asked him how his day was. These days he found everything boring, nothing excited him.
One day he was lying in his room as usual. After a while he felt it was rather hot in his room. Though he did not want to leave his room, he had to. Unwillingly, he left his room and came to the living room which was slightly cool as it had two huge windows.
His young brother was playing with his friend. They were rolling on the floor. He was looking out for the TV remote, but couldn't find it. He got up and searched for it everywhere, but the remote was nowhere. He looked at his brother who was still lying on the floor playing. He asked him, “Where is the remote ” “Under the sofa, ” his brother yelled.
He tried to look through, but it was dark. He put his hand under the sofa. He touched something, grabbed it and took his hand out. Oh! It was a snake in his hand!
After seeing that his brother started to cry, “Snake, snake!” Mom came as soon as she heard his shouting. She too was horrified to see a snake. She was so scared that she even couldn't speak a word. Two kids were trying to hide into each other's back. “What an old trick!” Roman thought and threw it to the kids.
As the snake landed on the floor near to the kids, it started moving from the left side to the right. Only then did John realize that the snake was real, not a toy. He threw the snake to the kids because he thought it was a fake snake and the kids were playing some tricks.
This time Mom almost got a heart attack. Now he was scared too. The snake was only 10 meters away from the kids and was staring at the kids. They even couldn't call a rescue team. There might be some deadly damage before their arrival. There was not much time to think. It was the time for a quick action.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
As John was farther from the snake, he jumped to the window and grabbed the curtain.

Paragraph 2:
After the rescue team caught and took away the snake everyone went inside the home.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
As John was farther from the snake, he jumped to the window and grabbed the curtain. He pulled it so hard that the curtain was torn off immediately. Without hesitation, he threw the curtain at the moving snake and covered it. Then he grabbed the two extremely frightened kids' arms and pushed them out of the room. The moment the kids went out, they started screaming. John went inside the room again and brought his mom out, who was standing still, frozen with fear. Soon after that, he shut the door and called the rescue team.
Paragraph 2:
After the rescue team caught and took away the snake, everyone went inside the home. Seeing the two kids were still scared, John felt guilty and even angry with himself. He went up to the kids, patting them on the head and said, “I'm sorry. I mistook it for a fake one.” After a short pause, he asked in an excited voice, “Shall we play some game together now ” The kids burst into a smile. “What a thrilling day!” John texted his friend later that day.
【解析】
