These days, tourism is back in full swing. An increasing number of people prefer to take a break from big city life and start exploring those harder-to-reach towns.
Paraty, Brazil
Paray is a bays de town halfway between Rio and Sao Paulo. Here, life moves at the pace of a horse-and-cart moving across the road (no cars allowed in the historic Old Town). The boats in the harbor are not just there to look good. Pick your favorite and set sail for a deserted island beach nearby.
Avignon, France
One of the most recognizable historic towns is found in the south-eastern part of France. The Palace of the Popes here defines the city and is the city and is visible from a far. It once housed Europe’s largest library, and became a hotbed for thinkers, philosophers, composers, and musicians. Now it is protected by UNESCO as a world heritage site. Four million tourists visit Avignon every year to explore the ancient architecture.
Sakrisoy and Reine, Norway
This pair of tiny finishing villages sit far, far north. Admittedly, they are a bit of pain to reach: The long (but beautiful!) journey there will require some combination of one or two fights, a bus or a boat. If you can make it that far, though, you’ll be rewarded with some of the most impressive scenery on Earth. Look out across the mountains from the hike or enjoy the Northern Lights.
Old San Juan, US
The oldest settlement in the country was founded in the early 16th century. Today everything here is colorful: the houses differ in color and style and even the pavements are made of the blue bricks, making it a very attractive and amusing place.

B. Enjoy the Northern Lights.
C. Admire ancient architecture.

I finally climbed into bed at 1: 20 in the morning. My friends had helped me celebrate my 31st birthday in the basement apartment, where I lived.
Earlier in the day I had prepared for the unlikely event of a flood. We are about a third of a mile from the banks of the Ahr River. It had been raining buckets that week and the government had sent out a flood warning, though not for where I was. Still, I’d placed sandbags on the floor outside my garden door and put electronics on tables. “Silly bro!” My friends laughed at me for doing that, but I thought, why take a chance
As I drifted off to sleep, I was awakened by the sound of rushing water, as if I were lying beside a waterfall. When I got off the bed, I was shocked that cold water was rising fast. In darkness, I grabbed my cellphone and turned on the flashlight. When I stepped out of the bedroom, I saw water shooting through the gaps of the door.
I began to panic. I knew I had to get out—fast! In bare feet, I started to make my way to the only escape: the door that led upstairs to the main floor. Finally I made it to the door and tried several times to-pull it open even just a little bit, but the rushing water shut it again. I looked around for anything I could use to keep it open. There in the corner was a coat rack (架子). I took it and, once again, opened the door, throwing the coat rack between the door and the frame (门框) to keep the door from shutting. Finally, I managed to make a gap just wide enough to squeeze (挤) through and make it into the hallway.
I leaped on to the stairs and ran outside. I stood there in the darkness, wet through. What was once a lovely street was now a waterscape, with floating ruins instead of people and cars. The river had drowned (淹没) the neighborhood!
4. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2imply
A. Better safe than sorry.
B. It never rains but it pours.
C. A lost chance never returns.
D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
5. What was the author doing when water flooded in
A. Celebrating his birthday.
B. Sleeping in the basement.
C. Placing sandbags by the door.
D. Playing with electronic devices.
6. Which of the following might be the most difficult for the author during the escape
A. Making his way to the door.
B. Finding a coat rack.
C. Keeping the door from shutting.
D. Squeezing through the gap.
7. How did the author feel when standing on the street
A. Sad and shocked.
B. Annoyed and anxious.
C. Surprised and disappointed.
D. Puzzled and awkward.
C
In the time before air-conditioning, southern China’s sky wells played a key role in keeping people’s homes cool. Could they do it again today
A skywell, or “tian jing”, is atypical characteristic of traditional homes in southern and eastern China. Different from a northern Chinese courtyard, or “yuan zi”, a skywell is smaller and less open to the outdoor environment. Its size and design differ from place to place.
Skywells were designed to cool buildings at a time well before air-conditioning existed. When wind blows above a skywell house, it can enter the indoor space through the opening. Because outdoor air is often cooler than indoor air, the incoming wind travels down the walls to the lower stories and create airflows by replacing warmer indoor air, which rises and leaves through the opening.
Although skywell buildings have existed in China for hundreds of years, in recent times they have often been forgotten by people who prefer modern buildings. Over the past two decades, however, skywell buildings have been making a comeback.
Yu Youhong, 55, has spent more than 30 years restoring (修复) skywell homes in Wuyuan county of Jiangxi province, apart of the old Huizhou. One of the skywell homes restored by Yu is in the village of Yan, in Wuyuan county. The deserted 300-year-old house was bought by Edward Gawne, a former marketing director from the UK, and his Chinese wife, Liao Minx in, in 2015. The couple turned the three-storey house into a 14-room hotel with the help of Yu. They kept the spaces surrounding the sky wells in their original state: open and with natural airflow. Gawne says that even without air conditioning the skywell areas are very comfortable in summer.
Yu says he expects sky wells to be more and more popular among younger generations especially as sustainability (可持续性) becomes an important element for new buildings.
8. What do we know about the sky wells
A. They had the same size and design.
B. They were commonly seen throughout China.
C. They acted as air-conditioners in the summer.
D. They were fully open to the outdoors like courtyard.
9 What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. When sky wells appeared.
B. What sky wells look like.
C. Why sky wells are no longer popular.
D. How sky wells cool buildings.
10. What did the couple do with the centuries-old house
A. They enlarged its rooms.
B. They moved the skywell.
C. They pulled it down and rebuilt it.
D. They kept part of its architectural characteristic.
11. What’s the main idea of this text
A. The comeback of sky wells.
B. An introduction to an expert in sky wells.
C. The preservation of traditional Chinese architecture.
D. The influence of modernization on ancient buildings.
D
I am an anxious traveller. I arrive at airports and train stations extra early. I double-check all of my documents, feel butterflies in my stomach until I’ve arrived where I’m going. Non-anxious people laugh at me for being nervous. I used to feel bad about it, seeing it as unreasonable, weak. Not anymore now. I’ve learned to respect my anxiety.
Recently, I was driving along a country road at the start of a long trip that would mainly be on a large highway. I began feeling that something could go wrong. What if I run out of petrol I worried, even though I still had plenty. So when I saw a petrol station just before the entrance to the highway, I decided to fill up. Just in case. And that’s when I discovered that one of my front tyres was badly deflated (漏气的). If I’d taken no notice of my anxiety, the tyre would have blown on the highway. My planning ahead, even though it wasn’t necessary, saved me from a possible disaster.
A growing number of psychologists are getting the message out that anxiety and other negative feelings have a role to pay in our lives. Psychologist Dennis-Tiwary thinks our culture goes to extremes in demonizing (妖魔化) difficult emotions. She knows what it’s like to be trapped by anxiety. “I remember a period at work when there was a lot going on,” she says. Worries kept waking her up at 4 a.m. and it kept her from fang back to much-needed sleep.
Instead of trying to stop this unpleasant feeling, however, Dennis-Tiwary leaned into it. “If you sit with the anxiety, you have an opportunity to learn from it,” she says. “I usually write down two or three things I could do to solve it” The next day, she always s felt calmer.
But how do we manage anxiety before it takes control of us According to Dennis-Tiwary, solutions include meditation (冥想), exercise, volunteering, and close contact with nature.
12. By sharing his experience of driving on a country road, the author wants to ________.
A. show that anxiety could benefit us
B. argue that being nervous is unreasonable
C. warn us of the possible danger of driving on highway
D. inform us of the importance of making full preparations
13. What does the underlined words “lean into it” mean in paragraph 4
A. Pay no attention to it. B. Share it with others.
C. Depend on it. D. Face it positively.
14 What is the function of the last paragraph
A. To provide an example.
B. To offer solutions.
C. To support an argument.
D. To give background information.
15. What is a suitable title for the text
A. The Upside of Anxiety
B. Learn to Cope with Anxiety
C. My Struggle with Negative Feelings
D. Misunderstandings about Difficult Emotions

I finally climbed into bed at 1: 20 in the morning. My friends had helped me celebrate my 31st birthday in the basement apartment, where I lived.
Earlier in the day I had prepared for the unlikely event of a flood. We are about a third of a mile from the banks of the Ahr River. It had been raining buckets that week and the government had sent out a flood warning, though not for where I was. Still, I’d placed sandbags on the floor outside my garden door and put electronics on tables. “Silly bro!” My friends laughed at me for doing that, but I thought, why take a chance
As I drifted off to sleep, I was awakened by the sound of rushing water, as if I were lying beside a waterfall. When I got off the bed, I was shocked that cold water was rising fast. In darkness, I grabbed my cellphone and turned on the flashlight. When I stepped out of the bedroom, I saw water shooting through the gaps of the door.
I began to panic. I knew I had to get out—fast! In bare feet, I started to make my way to the only escape: the door that led upstairs to the main floor. Finally I made it to the door and tried several times to-pull it open even just a little bit, but the rushing water shut it again. I looked around for anything I could use to keep it open. There in the corner was a coat rack (架子). I took it and, once again, opened the door, throwing the coat rack between the door and the frame (门框) to keep the door from shutting. Finally, I managed to make a gap just wide enough to squeeze (挤) through and make it into the hallway.
I leaped on to the stairs and ran outside. I stood there in the darkness, wet through. What was once a lovely street was now a waterscape, with floating ruins instead of people and cars. The river had drowned (淹没) the neighborhood!

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的一次脱险经历。由于连下大雨，使得河流决堤，爆发了洪水，殃及到作者所居住的区域。尽管作者提前做好了“抗洪”准备，但是，洪水的破坏力还是使得作者的家，以及该区域一片狼藉。幸运的是，作者逃生并幸存了下来。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线句以及前一句“Still, I’d placed sandbags on the floor outside my garden door and put electronics on tables. “Silly bro!” My friends laughed at me for doing that, but I thought, why take a chance (尽管如此，我还是在花园门外的地板上放了沙袋，把电子设备放在桌子上。“傻弟弟！”我的朋友们嘲笑我那么做，但我想，为什么要冒这个险？)”可知，作者做好了迎接洪水的准备，还被朋友嘲笑，but表示转折，因此推断作者认为，这样做应该是更安全，防患于未然，因此画线句表示“安全总比后悔好”。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“As I drifted off to sleep, I was awakened by the sound of rushing water, as if I were lying beside a waterfall.(就在我迷迷糊糊睡着的时候，我被哗哗的水声惊醒了，仿佛我正躺在瀑布旁边。)”和第四段的“In bare feet, I started to make my way to the only escape: the door that led upstairs to the main floor. (光着脚，我开始向唯一的出口走去：通往楼上主楼的那扇门。)”可知，当洪水涌入的时候，作者正睡在地下室。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“Finally I made it to the door and tried several times to-pull it open even just a little bit, but the rushing water shut it again. I looked around for anything I could use to keep it open. There in the corner was a coat rack (架子). I took it and, once again, opened the door, throwing the coat rack between the door and the frame (门框) to keep the door from shutting. Finally, I managed to make a gap just wide enough to squeeze (挤) through and make it into the hallway.(最后，我终于走到门口，试了好几次，想把它拉开一点，但湍急的水流又把它关上了。我四处寻找能让它继续开着的东西。角落里有一个衣架。我拿过它，再一次打开门，把衣架扔在门和镜框之间，以防门关上。最后，我设法弄出了一个刚好能挤进去进入走廊的缺口。)”可知，在逃生过程中，对于作者来说最困难的是保持门不要关上。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“What was once a lovely street was now a waterscape, with floating ruins instead of people and cars. The river had drowned (淹没) the neighborhood!(曾经令人愉快的街道现在变成了一片汪洋，到处都是漂浮的废墟，而不是人和车。洪水淹没了附近的人！)”可知，作者站在曾经令人愉快的大街上，洪水淹没了一切，因此推断作者此时的心情是悲哀和震惊的。故选A。

In the time before air-conditioning, southern China’s sky wells played a key role in keeping people’s homes cool. Could they do it again today
A skywell, or “tian jing”, is atypical characteristic of traditional homes in southern and eastern China. Different from a northern Chinese courtyard, or “yuan zi”, a skywell is smaller and less open to the outdoor environment. Its size and design differ from place to place.
Skywells were designed to cool buildings at a time well before air-conditioning existed. When wind blows above a skywell house, it can enter the indoor space through the opening. Because outdoor air is often cooler than indoor air, the incoming wind travels down the walls to the lower stories and create airflows by replacing warmer indoor air, which rises and leaves through the opening.
Although skywell buildings have existed in China for hundreds of years, in recent times they have often been forgotten by people who prefer modern buildings. Over the past two decades, however, skywell buildings have been making a comeback.
Yu Youhong, 55, has spent more than 30 years restoring (修复) skywell homes in Wuyuan county of Jiangxi province, apart of the old Huizhou. One of the skywell homes restored by Yu is in the village of Yan, in Wuyuan county. The deserted 300-year-old house was bought by Edward Gawne, a former marketing director from the UK, and his Chinese wife, Liao Minx in, in 2015. The couple turned the three-storey house into a 14-room hotel with the help of Yu. They kept the spaces surrounding the sky wells in their original state: open and with natural airflow. Gawne says that even without air conditioning the skywell areas are very comfortable in summer.
Yu says he expects sky wells to be more and more popular among younger generations especially as sustainability (可持续性) becomes an important element for new buildings
8. What do we know about the sky wells
A. They had the same size and design.
B. They were commonly seen throughout China.
C. They acted as air-conditioners in the summer.
D. They were fully open to the outdoors like courtyard.
9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. When sky wells appeared.
B. What sky wells look like.
C. Why sky wells are no longer popular.
D. How sky wells cool buildings.
10. What did the couple do with the centuries-old house
A. They enlarged its rooms.
B. They moved the skywell.
C. They pulled it down and rebuilt it.
D. They kept part of its architectural characteristic.
11. What’s the main idea of this text
A. The comeback of sky wells.
B. An introduction to an expert in sky wells.
C. The preservation of traditional Chinese architecture.
D. The influence of modernization on ancient buildings.

主旨大意题。根据第三段“Skywells were designed to cool buildings at a time well before air-conditioning existed. When wind blows above a skywell house, it can enter the indoor space through the opening. Because outdoor air is often cooler than indoor air, the incoming wind travels down the walls to the lower stories and create airflows by replacing warmer indoor air, which rises and leaves through the opening.(天井的设计是为了在空调存在之前为建筑物降温。当风吹过天井式房屋上方时，它可以通过开口进入室内空间。因为室外空气通常比室内空气冷，所以进来的风沿着墙壁传播到较低的楼层，并通过取代室内较暖的空气而产生气流，室内较暖空气通过开口上升和离开)”可知，第三段主要讲述了天井是如何在夏天让室内保持凉爽的。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段的“The deserted 300-year-old house was bought by Edward Gawne, a former marketing director from the UK, and his Chinese wife, Liao Minx in, in 2015.

【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In the time before air-conditioning, southern China’s sky wells played a key role in keeping people’s homes cool. Could they do it again today (在没有空调的时代，中国南方的天井在保持人们家的凉爽方面发挥了关键作用。他们今天能再做一次吗？)”以及全文可知，本篇文章主要讲述了中国南方的天井在建筑物中起到的作用。虽然过去一段时间天井经常被那些喜欢现代建筑的人遗忘，但是在过去的二十年里，天井建筑正在卷土重来。故选A。

I am an anxious traveller. I arrive at airports and train stations extra early. I double-check all of my documents, feel butterflies in my stomach until I’ve arrived where I’m going. Non-anxious people laugh at me for being nervous. I used to feel bad about it, seeing it as unreasonable, weak. Not anymore now. I’ve learned to respect my anxiety.
Recently, I was driving along a country road at the start of a long trip that would mainly be on a large highway. I began feeling that something could go wrong. What if I run out of petrol I worried, even though I still had plenty. So when I saw a petrol station just before the entrance to the highway, I decided to fill up. Just in case. And that’s when I discovered that one of my front tyres was badly deflated (漏气的). If I’d taken no notice of my anxiety, the tyre would have blown on the highway. My planning ahead, even though it wasn’t necessary, saved me from a possible disaster.
A growing number of psychologists are getting the message out that anxiety and other negative feelings have a role to pay in our lives. Psychologist Dennis-Tiwary thinks our culture goes to extremes in demonizing (妖魔化) difficult emotions. She knows what it’s like to be trapped by anxiety. “I remember a period at work when there was a lot going on,” she says. Worries kept waking her up at 4 a.m. and it kept her from fang back to much-needed sleep.
Instead of trying to stop this unpleasant feeling, however, Dennis-Tiwary leaned into it. “If you sit with the anxiety, you have an opportunity to learn from it,” she says. “I usually write down two or three things I could do to solve it” The next day, she always s felt calmer.
But how do we manage anxiety before it takes control of us According to Dennis-Tiwary, solutions include meditation (冥想), exercise, volunteering, and close contact with nature.
12. By sharing his experience of driving on a country road, the author wants to ________.
A. show that anxiety could benefit us
B. argue that being nervous is unreasonable
C. warn us of the possible danger of driving on highway
D. inform us of the importance of making full preparations
13. What does the underlined words “lean into it” mean in paragraph 4
A. Pay no attention to it. B. Share it with others.
C. Depend on it. D. Face it positively.
14. What is the function of the last paragraph
A. To provide an example.
B. To offer solutions.
C. To support an argument.
D. To give background information.
15. What is a suitable title for the text
A. The Upside of Anxiety
B. Learn to Cope with Anxiety
C. My Struggle with Negative Feelings
D. Misunderstandings about Difficult Emotions
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过描述作者在外出旅行过程中的焦虑症，指出不要把焦虑症和其他负面情绪妖魔化，要学会积极面对，与它们共处，看到它们在我们生活中起到的作用和好处，并从中学习，争取有所收获。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“If I’d taken no notice of my anxiety, the tyre would have blown on the highway. My planning ahead, even though it wasn’t necessary, saved me from a possible disaster.”（如果我没有注意到我的焦虑，轮胎就会在高速公路上爆掉。我的提前计划，虽然没有必要，却使我避免了可能发生的灾难。）可知，作者通过分享自己的一段驾驶经历，是想表明焦虑可以给我们带来好处。故选A。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Instead of trying to stop this unpleasant feeling, however, Dennis-Tiwary leaned into it.”（然而，Dennis-Tiwary并没有试图阻止这种不愉快的感觉，而是leaned into it。）可知，“leaned into it”与“试图阻止这种不愉快的感觉”意思相反，结合下一句“If you sit with the anxiety, you have an opportunity to learn from it,”（如果你面对焦虑，你就有机会从中学习，）可知，划线词应表示“积极面对焦虑”。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“According to Dennis-Tiwary, solutions include meditation(冥想), exercise, volunteering, and close contact with nature.”（根据Dennis-Tiwary的说法，解决方案包括冥想、锻炼、志愿服务以及与自然的亲密接触。）可知，最后一段是为了提出具体的解决方案。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的酒文化。
【36题详解】
考查可数名词的单复数。句意：中国最著名的传统酒之一是白酒，它是由大米和小麦等谷物制成的。本题考查“one of+the+形容词的最高级+可数名词的复数”，该结构意为“最……的之一”。故填wines。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：另一种受欢迎的中国酒是黄酒，也被称为黄酒。分析句子结构可知，空处为非谓语动词作状语。该动词和其逻辑主语之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词作状语。故填known。
【38题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：黄酒是一种发酵的米酒，与白酒相比口感柔和。根据空后的“compared to Baijiu”可知，此处指和白酒相比，黄酒口感更柔和。所以空处需要形容词的比较级。故填softer。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：它通常用于烹饪，是中国传统菜肴中的一种流行食材。空处需要副词修饰后面的动词used。故填commonly。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意：黄酒也是一种饮料，在中国不同地区有不同的品种和口味。根据语境可知，此处表示黄酒也被作为一种饮品供人们享受。as为介词“作为”，符合语境。故填as。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在中国文化中，酒通常与敬酒联系在一起，这是中国酒文化中重要的姿态，有助于营造温暖和谐的氛围。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限定性定语从句，修饰先行词toasting。先行词指物，关系词在定语从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：在中国文化中，酒通常与敬酒联系在一起，这是中国酒文化中重要的姿态，有助于营造温暖和谐的氛围。分析句子结构可知，空处需要形容词作定语，修饰后面的名词。harmony为名词，其形容词形式为harmonious“和谐的”。故填harmonious。
【43题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：某些类型的酒被认为对健康有益，并被用于医疗目的。分析句子结构可知，空处为句子的谓语动词。本句话描述一般事实，用一般现在时态。该动词和主语之间为被动关系。所以用一般现在时态的被动语态。主语为复数。故填are believed。
【44题详解】
考查时态。句意：近年来，进口的酒，尤其是红酒在中国人中越来越受欢迎。分析句子结构可知，空处为句子的谓语动词。根据时间状语“In recent years”可知，本句话为现在完成时态，主语为复数。故填have gained。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：酒的欣赏和品酒活动越来越普遍，为当地人和外国人提供了学习和体验不同葡萄酒文化的机会。分析句子结构可知，空处为非谓语动词作结果状语。根据语境可知，此处指意料之中的结果，所以用现在分词作状语。故填providing。

【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态、同位语从句、固定短语、形容词。表示“尽管”用despite，位于句首，首字母大写。表示“失败了”用名词failure，此处表示强调，failure前加the；也可以用the fact that he failed，其中fact意为“事实”，其后为同位语从句，从句中he为主语，fail意为“失败”，根据语境可知事情发生在过去，故时态用一般过去时，用过去式failed。表示“他积极的态度”用his positive attitude，作主语，其中形容词positive意为“积极的”，作定语，修饰名词attitude“态度”。表示“给我们留下了深刻的印象”用make/ creat/leave a deep impression on us或impress us deeply，根据语境可知事情发生在过去，故时态用一般过去时，谓语用过去式；或者可以理解为发生在过去的动作，对现在影响特别大，句子时态用现在完成时，主语为第三人称单数，助动词用has。表示“他积极的态度给我们留下了深刻的印象”也可以用he (has) impressed us deeply with his positive attitude，其中he作主语，(has) impressed为谓语，with his positive attitude意为“用他的积极态度”作状语。故翻译为Despite the failure/the fact that he failed, his positive attitude (has) made/created/left a deep impression on us. 或Despite the failure/the fact that he failed, his positive attitude (has) impressed us deeply. 或Despite the failure/the fact that he failed, he (has) impressed us deeply with his positive attitude .

【详解】考查动词时态、非谓语动词、形式宾语、主谓一致以及让步状语从句。表示“他”用He，作主语；表示“发现”用find，结合语境可知本句陈述事实，故时态用一般现在时，且主语为He，故谓语用第三人称单数形式finds。表示“学习中国书法”用learn Chinese calligraphy，故本句用动名词形式，作finds的宾语；也可以用it作finds或found的形式宾语，用不定式形式，作真正的宾语。表示“一个巨大的挑战”用hard/difficult/challenging/a challenge，作宾补。表示“但”用连词but；表示“不灰心”用lose heart，but后的句子主语为he，结合语境可知本句陈述事实，故时态用一般现在时，且主语为he，故用第三人称单数形式doesn’t lose heart。也可以理解为事情发生在过去，故时态用一般过去时，第一句谓语用过去式found，第二句用didn’t lose heart。故翻译为He finds/found it hard/difficult/challenging/a challenge to learn Chinese calligraphy but he doesn’t/didn’t lose heart.或He finds/found learning Chinese calligraphy hard/difficult/challenging/a challenge but he doesn’t/didn’t lose heart.也可以将句子理解为“虽然他发现学习中国书法是一个巨大的挑战，但他并不灰心。”，故将第一个句子变为Although/Though/Even if引导的让步状语从句，将but去掉。故翻译为：He finds/found it hard/difficult/challenging/a challenge to learn Chinese calligraphy but he doesn’t/didn’t lose heart.或Although/Though/Even if he finds/found it hard/difficult/challenging/a challenge to learn Chinese calligraphy, he doesn’t/didn’t lose heart.或He finds/found learning Chinese calligraphy hard/difficult/challenging/a challenge but he doesn’t/didn’t lose heart.或Although/Though/Even if he finds/found learning Chinese calligraphy hard/difficult/challenging/a challenge, he doesn’t/didn’t lose heart.

【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句和固定短语。主语为they；表示“期待”短语为look forward to doing sth.，此处可用现在进行时或一般现在时；表示“参加”短语为join in、take part in、get involved in或participate in，为动名词作宾语；表示“志愿者活动”翻译为volunteer activity；后跟in which或where引导的定语从句，从句主语为they；表示“帮助”应用help，can后跟动词原形；表示“无家可归的人”翻译为homeless people/the homeless。故翻译为They are looking forward to/look forward to joining in/taking part in/participating in/getting involved in the volunteer activity in which/where they can help homeless people/the homeless.
49. 很多措施正在进行中以保护濒危野生动植物。(现在进行时的被动语态) (汉译英)

【答案】The picture reminded us of the soldiers who/that (had) rescued the injured (people)
The picture reminds us of the soldiers who/that (have) rescued the injured (people).
【解析】

【答案】Dear Lynn,
How is everything going I’m thrilled to help you design a captivating cultural heritage brochure for the upcoming Multicultural Festival in your school.
For a proper topic, I recommend exploring the art of Chinese calligraphy. It’s not only visually attractive but also deeply rooted in our history. You can dig into its origins, different styles, and the significance of each stroke. As for the brochure design, consider employing traditional Chinese colors like red and gold for an authentic feeling. And it’s also a good idea to include a brief history, colorful and charming pictures, and perhaps a step-by-step guide to writing a few basic characters. This interactive activity could engage readers and provide a hands-on experience.
