A
A Taste of China
I once travelled across China. As a chef, I really felt at home with this place and realized that its variety of food is as vast as its land.
In Beijing I took to eating Beijing Roast Duck. The barbecue gives it that famous smoky flavour. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, the tender and juicy duck goes well with the pancakes and the sweet sauce. People say that when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Table manners are no exception. I had to hold chopsticks instead of a knife and fork while eating.
In Shandong, I came across Four-Joy Meatball in a wedding feast. The large round meatball is steamed through to keep its original flavor. Slightly rough and brown outside but incredibly soft inside, it melts in the mouth. I didn’t think anything could beat my tender bacon until I met it!
When it comes to something spicy, what else but Chongqing hot pot! There is nothing that a hot pot can’t fix, so no tour of China is complete without trying a hot pot. In the restaurant I chose, there were so many customers eating that there’s not enough room to swing a cat. I have to say my mouth was on fire but I just couldn’t stop!
As well as a burning mouth, I was left with a full stomach, some lovely memories, and a wider understanding of the tastes of China.
1. What do Beijing Roast Duck and Four-Joy Meatball have in common
A. They adopt the same cooking method. B. They’re served with dipping sauce.
C. They have crispy skin and tender meat. D. Their flavour defeat tender bacon
2. What can we know from the fourth paragraph
A. Chongqing hot pot is the only spicy food.
B. Hot pot is a must when traveling in China.
C. Pets are not allowed into hot pot restaurants.
D. Spicy food fails to appeal to the author.
3. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A travel journal. B. A restaurant guide
C. A Chinese recipe. D. An online food review.
B
There’s another universe not far from land. It lacks buildings, trees, cars, cellphones and the Internet. Seemingly limitless water extends uninterruptedly in all directions. Civilization goes away, along with any sign of humanity. And it is why I’m really into sailing. I grew up around boats. My father liked sailing and built them.
My older sister and I were stuffed into a car nearly every summer weekend until my late teens to make the trip from northeast Indiana to the south shore of Lake Erie in Ohio, where Talisman built by my father waited patiently through the week.
As a kid, I read the adventures of Robin Lee Graham, a traveller exploring the sea alone, in the pages of National Geographic and, later, in Graham’s book, Dove. However, it wasn’t until about 20 years ago, well into my adulthood, that I took up sailing in a serious way. I’ve made voyages in fair and stormy weather, on my own boats and those of my friends, and ranging from nearshore day sails to blue-water passages.
Still, I’ve made plenty of mistakes. While living in Asia, a sailing friend and I set off across the South China Sea and intended to get to Thailand, only to be pushed by a late-season typhoon that forced us to make landfall in Vietnam, glad to be alive.
Years later, my wife and I lived aboard our 37-foot ship, Symbiosis, while we saved enough to take a two-year leave from our jobs to journey down the U.S. Atlantic coast and through the Bahamas and the Caribbean. We visited many places that never see ships or airplanes and that are nearly impossible to reach anyway other than at the helm of a small boat. But boats are expensive and time-consuming.
After returning from the Caribbean a few years ago, we decided to sell Symbiosis, resolving instead to sail only “other people’s boats”. It didn’t last, though. A few months ago, we found a good deal on a smaller sailboat—easier to maintain but still capable of some short offshore journeys. I think we’ll name her Talisman.
4. What would the author do on summer weekends as a kid
A. He would explore the lost civilization.
B. He would tour northeast Indiana by car.
C. He would patiently wait for his father.
D. He would sail with his father and his sister.
5. What can we learn about the book Dove
A. It is the most famous work by Graham.
B It was published in National Geographic.
C. It has something to do with exploring the sea.
D. It was an inspiration for the author’s writing.
6. Why did the author sell his ship Symbiosis
A It didn’t function well. B. He couldn’t afford to maintain it.
C. He was fed up with sailing. D. He assumed others’ boats were better.
7. What message does the author convey by the underlined sentence
A. He is particular about boat names.
B. The new boat will be his favorite one.
C. Talisman bred his lifelong passion for sailing.
D. Talisman displayed his father’s craftsmanship
C
Marie Curie is remembered today for her pioneering work on radioactivity, which not only earned her two Nobel Prizes but also the recognition as the “mother of modern physics”. But while her research into the radioactive elements polonium and radium may have secured her a lasting scientific legacy, those same substances have also had a lasting effect on her body.
Then, in 1911, after much personal tragedy (Pierre Curie had died suddenly in 1906), Curie was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for isolating pure radium. She would go on to devote her research to the study of the chemistry of radioactive substances as well as their applications in medicine. In fact, if it were not for Curie’s work, our treatments for cancer would likely not be anywhere near as developed as they are today. But despite advocating precautions (预防), Curie’s consistent and prolonged exposure to these substances came at a cost.
Marie Curie died on July 4, 1934, from aplastic anemia (再生障碍性贫血) caused by her work with radiation. Despite its name, aplastic anemia is more than just anemia; it is a rare blood condition that appears when bone marrow cannot make enough new blood cells for your body to function properly. When Curie died, her body was so radioactive that she had to be laid to rest in a lead-lined (铅封的) coffin. However, no one knew this until 1995 when her coffin was unearthed.
At the time, the French authorities wanted to move the Curies to the national cemetery, the Pantheon, in honor of their contributions to science and for being great figures in French history. The officials responsible for the exhumation (掘尸) contacted the French radiation protection agency with concerns about remaining radiation and asked for assistance to protect workers in the cemetery.
When the exhumers approached the grave, they detected normal levels of radiation on the air, which then rose as the grave was opened (though not by large amounts). At first, Marie Curie’s coffin appeared to be made of wood, but when opened, they found it was lined with 2.5 millimeters (0.09 inches) of lead. Later examination of Curie’s body revealed that she had remained remarkably well preserved and only small levels of alpha and beta contamination were detected. This, according to The Journal of British Society for the History of Radiology, was likely because Curie had taken steps to limit exposure to radiation in later life.
8. We can infer from the text that Marie Curie ________.
A. invested amounts of money in her research
B. was awarded the Nobel Prize for radium precaution
C. is credited with the development of cancer treatment
D. abandoned her research after her husband’s sudden death
9. What can we know about the exhumation officials
A. They overestimated the actual radiation level.
B. They were not licensed for the exhumation work.
C. They had no regard for the safety of their workers.
D. They were previously informed of the lead-lined coffin.
10. Why only small levels of radiation was detected from Curie’s body
A. Her body remained remarkably well preserved.
B. Curie was less exposed to radiation in later life
C. The exhumers lacked adequate assistance technically.
D. The lead-lined coffin protect her body from radiation.
11. Which words can best describe Marie Curie based on the text
A. Remarkable but careless. B. Successful but aggressive.
C. Ambitious and considerate. D. Committed and persistent.
D
It is a general belief among academics that the humanities(人文学科) are in crisis. According to Harvard historian James Hankins, part of the problem is the dominance of “critical” reading over “primary” reading. Primary reading takes a text at face value and simply tries to understand what the author intended to say. Critical reading assumes an author’s statements can never be taken at face value. Instead, they must be “seen through” to expose the text’s real meaning, which is determined in line with this or that fashionable theory.
Mr. Hankins says primary reading “must be recovered” for higher education in the humanities to be effective. I would go further. Primary reading isn’t important only for the humanities, but for education more generally. The restoration of primary reading could be a crucial weapon in fighting the “idle talk” that troubles American society.
Idle talk was philosopher Martin Heidegger’s term for inauthentic discourse(话语). It involves adopting and circulating others’ opinions about something without ever personally engaging that thing for yourself. People engaged in idle talk speak in line with expectations for their particular role. They hold and express the opinions a person in their role is expected to hold.
Idle talk can be harmless. Each year my mother forms strong opinions about which films should win Academy Awards without seeing any of them, after reading articles by critics she favors. But idle talk can also be dangerous. Consider journalism. The norm nowadays is for one reporter to break a story, followed by dozens or hundreds of journalists recycling that content. They may add a little spin of their own but rarely look into the issue for themselves—even when this would require but a few clicks. Some journalists even just search social media for the story of the day and rewrite it in their own words.
It could be argued that social media has contributed to the popularization of idle talk. Authentic discourse requires time, effort and good-faith engagement, but social media tends to encourage the opposite. Social media raises this voice, pushing it into user feeds 24/7. We hear about everything, and we can’t hear about anything without also being told what opinion we should have about it. Opinions before facts; know what to think about something before actually looking into it for yourself. And really, why even bother with that
Primary reading isn’t only something the humanities need. Our entire culture needs its value to be recognized and restored.
12. What do we know from the first two paragraphs
A. Critical reading leads to the crisis in the humanities.
B. Critical reading is generally dominated nowadays.
C Primary reading fails to expose the real meaning.
D. Primary reading isn’t important for the humanities.
13. What does the underlined word “spin” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Interpretation. B. Intervention. C. Interaction. D. Investigation.
14. What does the author think of social media
A. It tends to encourage high engagement. B. It promotes the spread of idle talk
C. It offers people facts instead of opinions. D. It advocates independent thinking ability.
15 What’s the author’s advice for readers
A. To focus more on facts. B. To get off social media.
C. To gain an insight into idle talk. D. To read original texts exclusively.

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。
It was in the 1930s, and things were tough. Mum had a hard time raising us on her own in our small community of New Westminster, BC. My dad had drowned in Pitt Lake, five years ago.
Looking back, I realize what Mum went through sending us kids to school. Every morning she would put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, because the bottom parts were worn out. When we got home, Mum would have “French toast” ready for us. Constant moving was typical for my family in those times. Rent was 25 dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it, and we knew we would be evicted right after Christmas on the first of January.
Christmas was approaching, and we were entitled to a twenty-five-dollar Christmas fund from social services. The inspector came to our house, and searched it from top to bottom to be sure we didn’t have any food hidden away. When he didn’t find any, he issued the cheque to Mum.
Mum said that instead of buying food, she would use the 25 dollars to pay back rent, assuring all of us a roof over our heads for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for Christmas.
Unknown to Mum, I had been selling Christmas tree, cleaning snow, and doing part-time jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots. Boots that weren’t patched, boots with no cardboard in the soles. I knew exactly which boots I wanted. They were ten-inch Top Genuine Pierre Paris and they had a price of 23 dollars.
Well, the big day came on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. I was excited, as I hurried up the road to the shoe store, but on the way I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then I realized at our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor any money for Christmas meals. I knew that we would have no turkey or ham for Christmas, and I felt sad.

1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As I continued walking, I began to reconsider my plan.

There’s another universe not far from land. It lacks buildings, trees, cars, cellphones and the Internet. Seemingly limitless water extends uninterruptedly in all directions. Civilization goes away, along with any sign of humanity. And it is why I’m really into sailing. I grew up around boats. My father liked sailing and built them.
My older sister and I were stuffed into a car nearly every summer weekend until my late teens to make the trip from northeast Indiana to the south shore of Lake Erie in Ohio, where Talisman built by my father waited patiently through the week.
As a kid, I read the adventures of Robin Lee Graham, a traveller exploring the sea alone, in the pages of National Geographic and, later, in Graham’s book, Dove. However, it wasn’t until about 20 years ago, well into my adulthood, that I took up sailing in a serious way. I’ve made voyages in fair and stormy weather, on my own boats and those of my friends, and ranging from nearshore day sails to blue-water passages.
Still, I’ve made plenty of mistakes. While living in Asia, a sailing friend and I set off across the South China Sea and intended to get to Thailand, only to be pushed by a late-season typhoon that forced us to make landfall in Vietnam, glad to be alive.
Years later, my wife and I lived aboard our 37-foot ship, Symbiosis, while we saved enough to take a two-year leave from our jobs to journey down the U.S. Atlantic coast and through the Bahamas and the Caribbean. We visited many places that never see ships or airplanes and that are nearly impossible to reach anyway other than at the helm of a small boat. But boats are expensive and time-consuming.

A few months ago, we found a good deal on a smaller sailboat—easier to maintain but still capable of some short offshore journeys. I think we’ll name her Talisman.

A. He would explore the lost civilization.
B. He would tour northeast Indiana by car.
C. He would patiently wait for his father.
D. He would sail with his father and his sister.
5. What can we learn about the book Dove

D. It was an inspiration for the author’s writing.

C. He was fed up with sailing. D. He assumed others’ boats were better.
7. What message does the author convey by the underlined sentence
A. He is particular about boat names.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者从小到大的航行经历以及对航行的热爱。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“My father liked sailing and built them.(我父亲喜欢航海并建造了它们。)”和第二段中的“My older sister and I were stuffed into a car nearly every summer weekend until my late teens to make the trip from northeast Indiana to the south shore of Lake Erie in Ohio, where Talisman built by my father waited patiently through the week.(在我十几岁之前，几乎每个夏天的周末，我和姐姐都会被塞进一辆车里，从印第安纳州东北部前往俄亥俄州伊利湖南岸，在那里，我父亲建造的Talisman耐心地等待了一周。)”可知，作者小时候几乎每个夏天的周末都会和父亲、姐姐一起航行。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“As a kid, I read the adventures of Robin Lee Graham, a traveller exploring the sea alone, in the pages of National Geographic and, later, in Graham’s book, Dove.(小时候，我在《国家地理》和后来Graham的书《鸽子》中读到Robin Lee Graham的冒险故事，他是一位独自探索大海的旅行者。)”可知，《鸽子》这本书中有Robin Lee Graham独自探索大海的冒险故事，由此可推测出，这本书与探索大海有关。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“But boats are expensive and time-consuming.(但船是昂贵且耗时的。)”和最后一段中的“After returning from the Caribbean a few years ago, we decided to sell Symbiosis, resolving instead to sail only ‘other people’s boats’.(几年前从加勒比海回来后，我们决定出售Symbiosis，决定只乘‘别人的船’航行。)”可推测出，作者决定卖掉Symbiosis，是因为船的维护成本高，他无法负担。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“where Talisman built by my father waited patiently through the week”可知，在作者小时候，父亲建造的一艘船叫Talisman。根据最后一段中的“A few months ago, we found a good deal on a smaller sailboat—easier to maintain but still capable of some short offshore journeys. I think we’ll name her Talisman.(几个月前，我们买了一艘价格便宜的较小的帆船——更容易维护，但仍能进行一些短途海上旅行。我想我们会给她起名叫Talisman。)”可知，这艘船比较小，容易维护，能进行短途航行，作者想要给它起名叫Talisman，这个名字和父亲曾经建造的船名一样，这说明两艘船有相似之处；由此可推测出，作者给新买的船取名Talisman，是因为它展现了父亲的制船工艺。故选D。
C

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。玛丽·居里夫人在放射性方面的研究留下了宝贵的科学遗产，但放射性元素也对她的身体造成了持久影响。她去世后，因为身体具有辐射，所以不得不被放入铅封的棺材里，但直到她的棺木出土时人们才知道这一真相。挖掘者发现她的尸身保存完好，只检测到少量的α和β污染，这可能因为她在晚年采取了措施限制接触辐射。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In fact, if it were not for Curie’s work, our treatments for cancer would likely not be anywhere near as developed as they are today.(事实上，如果不是居里的工作，我们对癌症的治疗可能不会像今天这样发达。)”可推测出，居里的工作对如今癌症治疗的发展是功不可没的。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The officials responsible for the exhumation(掘尸) contacted the French radiation protection agency with concerns about remaining radiation and asked for assistance to protect workers in the cemetery.(负责挖掘的官员联系了法国辐射保护机构，对剩余的辐射表示担忧，并要求协助保护墓地的工作人员。)”和最后一段中的“When the exhumers approached the grave, they detected normal levels of radiation on the air, which then rose as the grave was opened (though not by large amounts).(当挖掘者接近坟墓时，他们检测到空气中的辐射水平正常，然后随着坟墓的打开，辐射水平上升（尽管不是很大）。)”可知，负责挖掘的官员担心棺材中的辐射高，所以请求法国辐射保护机构协助，但挖掘者发现坟墓周围的辐射水平正常，打开坟墓后辐射水平有所上升，但也不是很高。由此可推测出，他们对实际的辐射水平高估了。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“This, according to The Journal of British Society for the History of Radiology, was likely because Curie had taken steps to limit exposure to radiation in later life.(据《英国放射学史学会杂志》报道，这可能是因为居里在晚年采取了限制辐射暴露的措施。)”可知，居里晚年时采取措施限制接触辐射，所以尸体辐射水平低。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Then, in 1911, after much personal tragedy (Pierre Curie had died suddenly in 1906), Curie was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for isolating pure radium. She would go on to devote her research to the study of the chemistry of radioactive substances as well as their applications in medicine.(然后1911年，在经历了许多个人悲剧（皮埃尔·居里于1906年突然去世）后，居里因分离出纯镭而获得诺贝尔化学奖。她继续致力于研究放射性物质的化学及其在医学中的应用。)”和“But despite advocating precautions(预防), Curie’s consistent and prolonged exposure to these substances came at a cost.(但是，尽管提倡预防措施，居里持续和长时间接触这些物质是有代价的。)”可知，玛丽·居里经历了丈夫的去世后获得诺贝尔奖，但她没有停滞不前，而是继续致力于研究，由于长期持续接触辐射，她的身体受到了影响。由此可推测出，玛丽·居里是一位非常坚定执着的科学家。故选D。
D
It is a general belief among academics that the humanities(人文学科) are in crisis. According to Harvard historian James Hankins, part of the problem is the dominance of “critical” reading over “primary” reading. Primary reading takes a text at face value and simply tries to understand what the author intended to say. Critical reading assumes an author’s statements can never be taken at face value. Instead, they must be “seen through” to expose the text’s real meaning, which is determined in line with this or that fashionable theory.
Mr. Hankins says primary reading “must be recovered” for higher education in the humanities to be effective. I would go further. Primary reading isn’t important only for the humanities, but for education more generally. The restoration of primary reading could be a crucial weapon in fighting the “idle talk” that troubles American society.
Idle talk was philosopher Martin Heidegger’s term for inauthentic discourse(话语). It involves adopting and circulating others’ opinions about something without ever personally engaging that thing for yourself. People engaged in idle talk speak in line with expectations for their particular role. They hold and express the opinions a person in their role is expected to hold.
Idle talk can be harmless. Each year my mother forms strong opinions about which films should win Academy Awards without seeing any of them, after reading articles by critics she favors. But idle talk can also be dangerous. Consider journalism. The norm nowadays is for one reporter to break a story, followed by dozens or hundreds of journalists recycling that content. They may add a little spin of their own but rarely look into the issue for themselves—even when this would require but a few clicks. Some journalists even just search social media for the story of the day and rewrite it in their own words.
It could be argued that social media has contributed to the popularization of idle talk. Authentic discourse requires time, effort and good-faith engagement, but social media tends to encourage the opposite. Social media raises this voice, pushing it into user feeds 24/7. We hear about everything, and we can’t hear about anything without also being told what opinion we should have about it. Opinions before facts; know what to think about something before actually looking into it for yourself. And really, why even bother with that
Primary reading isn’t only something the humanities need. Our entire culture needs its value to be recognized and restored.
12. What do we know from the first two paragraphs
A. Critical reading leads to the crisis in the humanities.
B. Critical reading is generally dominated nowadays.
C. Primary reading fails to expose the real meaning.
D. Primary reading isn’t important for the humanities.
13. What does the underlined word “spin” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Interpretation. B. Intervention. C. Interaction. D. Investigation.
14. What does the author think of social media
A. It tends to encourage high engagement. B. It promotes the spread of idle talk
C. It offers people facts instead of opinions. D. It advocates independent thinking ability.
15. What’s the author’s advice for readers
A. To focus more on facts. B. To get off social media.
C. To gain an insight into idle talk. D. To read original texts exclusively.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了恢复初级阅读是非常重要的，因为不仅人文学科需要它，而且整个人类文化也需要它。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It is a general belief among academics that the humanities(人文学科) are in crisis. According to Harvard historian James Hankins, part of the problem is the dominance of ‘critical’ reading over ‘primary’ reading.(学术界普遍认为人文学科正处于危机之中。哈佛大学历史学家James Hankins认为，部分问题在于‘批判性’阅读比‘初级’阅读占主导地位。)”可知，现在批判性阅读普遍占主导地位。故选B。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段划线词前一句“The norm nowadays is for one reporter to break a story, followed by dozens or hundreds of journalists recycling that content.(如今的常态是一名记者报道一个新闻，然后数十或数百名记者重复报道该内容。)”和划线词所在句中的“but rarely look into the issue for themselves—even when this would require but a few clicks（但他们很少自己去研究这个问题——即使这只需要点击几下鼠标）”可知，现在的记者只会重复其他记者报道的内容，而几乎不会自己去亲自调查，but前后表示表示转折，由此可推测出，记者在自己写报道的时候，会增加的一点点解读，但不会亲自调查。所以spin表示“解读”，与interpretation意思相近。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“It could be argued that social media has contributed to the popularization of idle talk.(可以说，社交媒体促进了闲言碎语的普及。)”可知，社交媒体促进了闲言碎语的扩散。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Authentic discourse requires time, effort and good-faith engagement, but social media tends to encourage the opposite.(真实的话语需要时间、精力和真诚的参与，但社交媒体往往会鼓励相反的情况。)”可知，作者不赞成社交媒体的行为，建议通过投入时间、精力和真诚参与来得到真实的话语，由此可推测出，作者建议读者更加重视事实。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了新式茶饮在中国受到年轻人的喜爱。
【36题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：北京的刘丽佳离开电脑屏幕，休息了一下，在手机上下了两个订单，一个给自己，另一个给2200公里外的南方城市广州的一个朋友。order意为“订单”，为可数名词，且空前有two，所以应用名词复数。故填orders。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：不久，这两个城市的实体连锁店就交付了订单——两种混合了水果和奶酪的茶饮料。分析句子结构，这里是“have+宾语+宾补”结构，表示“使，让”，逻辑主语the orders和deliver之间是动宾关系，所以应用过去分词作宾补。故填delivered。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：两人一边喝着茶饮料，一边在社交媒体上发布快照，展示她们的视觉“茶话会”。分析句子结构，While引导一个时间状语从句，且从句中省略了与主句相同的主语，所以空处应用非谓语动词。逻辑主语the pair和take之间是主谓关系，所以应用现在分词。故填taking。
【39题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：近年来，中国出现了“新式茶饮”的热潮，这种茶饮将冲泡的茶、新鲜的水果和蔬菜结合在一起，有时还会加入乳制品或果汁，尤其受到像刘这样的年轻人的追捧。根据句中的“In recent years”可知，这里应用现在完成时，表示过去的动作对现在产生的影响。主语为China，所以谓语应用单数形式。故填has seen。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意参考上题。空处应用副词，修饰空后的sought-after(广受欢迎的，吃香的)。particularly意为“特别，尤其”。故填particularly。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：凭借天然成分、花哨的设计和数字服务，这些饮料迎合了年轻消费者的消费习惯和审美，年轻消费者追求新奇，购买力相对较强，观察人士认为这反映了一个新的消费市场。根据空后的“natural ingredients, fancy designs and digital services”可知，这里是说这些饮料所具有的特征，应用介词with(有)引出后面的名词短语。故填With。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意参考上题。分析句子结构，空处引导一个非限制性定语从句，从句中的observers believe是插入语。先行词指代前面的主句，且关系词在从句中作主语，所以应用which引导。故填which。
【43题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：作为轻量化商品，新式茶饮有望满足年轻人放松和社交分享的愿望，甚至已成为社交生活的载体。be expected to do sth.意为“预计做某事”，为固定用法，所以这里应用被动语态。根据句中的have...become和句意，这里表示从现在角度对未来的预测，所以应用一般现在时。主语drinks表示复数，所以谓语应用复数形式。故填are expected。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意参考上题。根据空后的“vehicle for social life”可知，这里泛指社交生活的一个载体，且vehicle的发音以辅音音素开头，所以应用不定冠词a。故填a。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：刘说：“人们说一天喝一杯茶可以消除疲劳，我对此表示赞同。”空处应用名词作宾语。tiredness意为“疲倦”，为不可数名词。故填tiredness。

【答案】One possible version:
Chinese Youth of the New Era
Dear fellow students,
It’s my great honor to deliver a speech entitled Chinese Youth of the New Era.
As the torchbearers of the future, the Chinese youth should possess certain valuable qualities. First and foremost, we need to dream high, since nobody can achieve success without big dreams, which, like lighthouses, point out our way forward. Additionally, a strong sense of responsibility is what it takes to do everything well. We shouldn’t complain or escape our responsibilities. Instead, we should face the challenges with great determination. As President Xi says, only if the younger generations have dreams and a strong sense of responsibility will a country have a brilliant future.
Long and tough as the journey may be, consistent efforts will take us to the destination. I will bear it in mind and commit myself to making China increasingly prosperous and powerful.

It was in the 1930s, and things were tough. Mum had a hard time raising us on her own in our small community of New Westminster, BC. My dad had drowned in Pitt Lake, five years ago.
Looking back, I realize what Mum went through sending us kids to school. Every morning she would put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, because the bottom parts were worn out. When we got home, Mum would have “French toast” ready for us. Constant moving was typical for my family in those times. Rent was 25 dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it, and we knew we would be evicted right after Christmas on the first of January.
Christmas was approaching, and we were entitled to a twenty-five-dollar Christmas fund from social services. The inspector came to our house, and searched it from top to bottom to be sure we didn’t have any food hidden away. When he didn’t find any, he issued the cheque to Mum.
Mum said that instead of buying food, she would use the 25 dollars to pay back rent, assuring all of us a roof over our heads for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for Christmas.
Unknown to Mum, I had been selling Christmas tree, cleaning snow, and doing part-time jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots. Boots that weren’t patched, boots with no cardboard in the soles. I knew exactly which boots I wanted. They were ten-inch Top Genuine Pierre Paris and they had a price of 23 dollars.
Well, the big day came on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. I was excited, as I hurried up the road to the shoe store, but on the way I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then I realized at our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor any money for Christmas meals. I knew that we would have no turkey or ham for Christmas, and I felt sad.

【答案】As I continued walking, I began to reconsider my plan. At one moment, the boots I had been longing for flashed through my head. And then my Mum’s face appeared, drowned in sorrow, trying in vain to explain to us all why we should celebrate Christmas with no presents, no decorations or no turkey. At exactly that moment, it came to my awareness how selfish I was. Feeling the money in my sweaty hand, I made a big decision and stepped into the grocery store. Having finished shopping, I made my way home, excited and proud of my choice.
With great excitement and tears in my eyes, I knocked on the door. I could hardly wait to see my mother’s face! No sooner had I opened the door than some of the Christmas goodies fell inside onto the floor. She just stood there, dumbfounded. Holding back the tears, I said, “Merry Christmas!” Next moment, I was welcomed by the most passionate hugs and kisses from my beloved Mum.
