Hessler writes about his experiences living in a foreign culture and observing the lives of the town’s residents.

The Search for Modern China by Jonathan Spence
This book is a comprehensive history of China from the Ming dynasty to the present day. The author, a prominent scholar of Chinese history, provides a detailed analysis of the social, cultural, and political changes that have taken place in China over the past 500 years. The book was first put out in 1990 and has since been revised and updated several times. This book was the top bestseller for years.
Factory Girls: From Village to City in a Changing China
Written by Leslie T. Chang, this book, published in 2008, is reportage on the lives of young women who leave their rural homes to work in factories in China’s cities. Chang, a former New York Times correspondent (someone who is employed by a newspaper or a television station etc. to report news from a particular area or on a particular subject), interviewed hundreds of factory girls to provide insight into the social and economic changes in China.
1. What kind of book is River Town
A. Science fiction. B. Nonfiction.
C. A travel guide of Fuling. D. A reference book.
2. What is TRUE about The Search for Modern China by Jonathan Spence
A. It was published 500 years ago. B. It was written by a history teacher.
C. It was very popular. D. It has remained the same since its first publication.
3. Which book is written by a reporter

D. Factory Girls: From Village to City in a Changing China.

I started playing the piano when I was around four years old—that was 15 years ago!—and since then, the longest I haven’t touched piano keys was probably two months. This was an enormous amount of devotion to something that I wasn’t even planning to make money off of—so there must have been something worth holding on to, right
The easy guess is that I was always so purely in love with music and piano that I couldn’t bear to let them go. However, it’s a bit more complicated than that. I struggled a lot with piano. I felt pressure to improve, innovate, and be the best in order to prove something to others. The seed of my musical interest was grown with competition and doubt.
It’s difficult to learn to love something that you didn’t choose in the first place. But somehow, sometime, love grew. And by high school, it was strong enough that I found the strength to hold on tighter, dig further, and find something of my own to grow. In a way, I had to start over.
And so, I took a pause. I switched teachers, and got incredibly lucky with one who encouraged me and helped me tunnel into what I loved, not what I was told I should learn. Anything I had was good enough to be loved.
This summer I started learning the guitar. I deliberately wanted to learn on my own—this was just for me, to form a new relationship to music. Even though my guitar skills are miles lower than my piano skills, I feel I can express myself even more wholly through strings than keys. There’s just something about doing it all for myself that has helped me heal the damages to my relationship to music.
The love and hate I’ve had for the piano were both planted and grown. If you too have learned to hate something you once loved—or something you never chose—remember that with dedication, it can be uprooted, and love can make a home in its place. There is always time. There is always room.
4. What can we learn about the author’s experience from Paragraph 1
A He probably spent two months in playing the piano.
B. He began to play the piano when he was 15 years old.
C. He thought it necessary to start playing the piano early.
D. He committed himself to the piano not for financial factors.
5. Which of the following words best describes the author’s relationship with the piano
A. Bittersweet. B. Harmonious. C. Painful. D. Passive.
6 What inspired the author to learn the guitar
A. His teacher’s constant encouragement. B. His desire for a new relationship with music.
C. His interest in strings rather than keys. D. His talent for playing musical instruments.
7. What is the best title for the text
A. Practice makes perfect B. Love cannot be forced
C. Love is a thing that grows D. There is no end to learning
C
We’ve been told for years that self-driving cars are just approaching. But it’s time to accept the truth, said Darrell Etherington on TechCrunch: they “aren’t going to happen” in our lifetimes.
I’ve long been excited about the potential of this technology, but my remaining optimism left me finally last month when Ford and Volkswagen announced they were stopping running Argo Al, their autonomous driving tech joint firm. Argo was considered a leader in the field. But Ford feels that “producing profitable, fully autonomous vehicles on a large scale is a long way off”, and it could no longer stomach the increasing costs. This is just the latest setback.
True, General Motors is making progress in trialling driverless vehicles on the roads, but only on a small scale. Tesla is pushing ahead with its self-driving technology, but its ambitions can be limited by an investigation that is looking into some accidents involving its “Autopilot” system. Some of the firmest believers in self-driving technology have turned nonbelievers. State-of-the-art robot cars still “struggle” with construction sites, road blocks, and sometimes even simple left turns.
I recently took a ride in a self-driving taxi in the city of Chandler, Arizona. There was an undeniable horror-movie aspect to sitting in the back of a vehicle and watching the steering wheel turn autonomously. To my relief, it slowed when other vehicles behaved improperly. I was just about to feel relaxed and text a coworker when the taxi came to a sudden stop at one point. A truck stopped in front of us and wanted to go backwards in order to take a missed turning. Unclear about what to do next, the taxi “chirped(吱吱叫) to call a human specialist to solve the situation”. Fortunately, the truck driver decided to drive on and we continued our way. My driverless experience made me believe this technology may never be possible to make passengers relaxed when they are in a driverless vehicle. Even so, I won’t undervalue the technological advances that have been made—after all, who knows what the future will look like.
8. What can we infer from Darrell Etherington’s words
A. Self-driving cars will be replaced by other technology.
B. Self-driving cars will change our travel mode.
C. Self-driving cars are approaching us.
D. Self-driving cars are just a dream now.
9. What does the underlined word “stomach” probably mean in paragraph 2
A. Endure. B. Reduce. C. Regain. D. Remove.
10. Why General Motors and Tesla are mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To prove self-driving technology has made big progress.
B. To prove self-driving technology has a long way to go.
C. To prove self-driving technology is totally impractical.
D. To prove self-driving technology has great potential.
11. What is author’s attitude towards the self-driving technology
A. Critical. B. Conventional. C. Favorable. D. Indifferent.
D
You’ve probably heard the phrase, “Laughter is the best medicine.” Comedy on Referral has taken that idea and run with it, using stand-up comedy to help treat people struggling with trauma (精神创伤) and anxiety in partnership with the National Health Service (NHS).
The idea came from comedian Angie Belcher’s experiences teaching comedy at the University of Bristol. She found that students often told her how much stronger and more resilient (有适应力的) they were thanks to stand-up comedy.
Inspired, she teamed up with the NHS in Bristol to create a six-week comedy course for patients struggling with trauma in January 2022. Following the success of this initial course, Comedy on Referral won NHS funding to help men with trauma in London.
Belcher said, “Past traumas are perfect for comedy. Comedy doesn’t come from the happy, perfect moments of your life, but from our everyday struggles and major life events. People who’ve been through big life experiences such as losing a loved one and ill health often can’t wait to tell me their stories, mostly because there’s always something especially funny about the situation.”
Research has shown that laughter has positive psychological effects, such as decreasing levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) and increasing endorphins (the hormone that reduces the feeling of pain). It can even have physiological benefits, although less research has been done in this area. Current research has linked laughter and humour with increased levels of pain tolerance as well as short-term cardiovascular (心血管的) benefits. More research is needed to prove these findings
Nonetheless, the mental health benefits of regular laughter are widely accepted, and using comedy to treat mental health struggles could be a real breakthrough in the treatment of mental health.
12. Why is the phrase mentioned in paragraph 1
A. To explain the harm trauma causes. B. To stress the importance of laughter.
C. To show the effect of stand-up comedy. D. To state the idea behind Comedy on Referral.
13. How was the first six-week comedy course for patients
A. Effective. B. Ambiguous. C. Fruitless. D. Controversial.
14. What may contribute to a comedy according to Belcher
A. Struggling moments. B. Funny moments.
C Successful moments. D. Boring moments.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Comedy is one thing that can make you struggle B. Laughter is useful for people’s mental health
C. Anxiety can also make you feel better D. Laughter will cure you of all diseases

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。
In searching for ways to help children with learning disabilities, remember that you are looking for ways to help them help themselves. Your job as a parent is not to “cure” the learning disability, but to give your child the social and emotional tools they need to work through challenges. Always remember that the way you behave and respond to challenges has a big influence on your child. A good attitude won’t solve the problems associated with a learning disability. But it can give your child hope and confidence. ______16______
Become your own expert. Do your own research and keep up with new developments in learning disability programs and educational techniques. ______17______But you’re the most important expert on your child, so take charge when it comes to finding the tools they need in order to learn.
Be an advocate for your child. ______18______Accept your role as an active parent and work on your communication skills. It may be frustrating at times, but by remaining calm and reasonable, yet firm, you can make a huge difference for your child.
______19______Your child will follow your lead. If you approach learning challenges with optimism, hard work, and a sense of humor, your child is likely to embrace your perspective—or at least see the challenges as a must.
Focus on strengths, not just weaknesses. Your child is not defined by their learning disability. A learning disability represents one area of weakness, but there are many more areas of strengths. ______20______Your child’s life and schedule shouldn’t revolve around the learning disability. Nurture the activities where they excel, and make plenty of time for them.
A. Remember that your influence outweighs all others.
B. Attach great importance to your child’s gifts and talents.
C. Things like food, water, and shelter are resources.
D. Speak up time and time again to get special help for your child.
E. Parents should spare some time to keep their children company.

“Oh, no!” Jack shouted while looking at the likes and comments on his recent TikTok video.
“Why aren’t people reacting to my content as they used to ”
Jack was a 19-year-old strong and muscular man addicted to the gym. He loved recording exercise videos and posting them on his TikTok account. Initially, his video logs (vlogs) were popular, but his posts’ reach soon decreased.
Jack wondered why people had stopped sharing and liking his videos, “Maybe my audience is tired of watching me work out in the gym,” he thought, determined to change the location of his videos.
The following day, Jack went to the neighborhood park and began filming while walking on the track.“Hi, guys! How about we shake things up a little I’m to work out in the park today!” he said excitedly, looking into the camera lens (镜头).
“Let’s look for a good spot to warm up,” he said as he walked towards a bench(长椅), on which sat an elderly lady. Jack thought the bench was the perfect place to film his video because of the light.
He put his tripod stand (三脚架) on the bench and set the camera, but he felt like he needed the full bench. He wanted to place his camera where the lady sat, so he gestured to her to move, but the woman didn’t seem to understand.
“Get out of my way!” he yelled.“Can’t you see I’m filming a video You old fool!” Looking him up and down in surprise, the old lady didn’t argue over his disrespectful attitude and quietly walked towards another bench.
Jack set his camera up, pressed the record button and waved at his followers, ready to demonstrate exercises. Suddenly, he tripped on a loose stone, lost balance and fell down, his head striking the bench and bleeding heavily.
Crying in pain, Jack tried to get up, but he didn’t have the strength to rise. He collapsed on the ground, screaming desperately for help.
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。
There was nobody around but the elderly lady.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
To Jack’s joy, a net friend sent a message saying where the lady lived.

I started playing the piano when I was around four years old—that was 15 years ago!—and since then, the longest I haven’t touched piano keys was probably two months. This was an enormous amount of devotion to something that I wasn’t even planning to make money off of—so there must have been something worth holding on to, right
The easy guess is that I was always so purely in love with music and piano that I couldn’t bear to let them go. However, it’s a bit more complicated than that. I struggled a lot with piano. I felt pressure to improve, innovate, and be the best in order to prove something to others. The seed of my musical interest was grown with competition and doubt.
It’s difficult to learn to love something that you didn’t choose in the first place. But somehow, sometime, love grew. And by high school, it was strong enough that I found the strength to hold on tighter, dig further, and find something of my own to grow. In a way, I had to start over.
And so, I took a pause. I switched teachers, and got incredibly lucky with one who encouraged me and helped me tunnel into what I loved, not what I was told I should learn. Anything I had was good enough to be loved.
This summer I started learning the guitar. I deliberately wanted to learn on my own—this was just for me, to form a new relationship to music. Even though my guitar skills are miles lower than my piano skills, I feel I can express myself even more wholly through strings than keys. There’s just something about doing it all for myself that has helped me heal the damages to my relationship to music.
The love and hate I’ve had for the piano were both planted and grown. If you too have learned to hate something you once loved—or something you never chose—remember that with dedication, it can be uprooted, and love can make a home in its place. There is always time. There is always room.

【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“This was an enormous amount of devotion to something that I wasn’t even planning to make money off of it—so there must have been something worth holding on to, right (这是对一件我甚至不打算从中赚钱的东西的巨大投入,所以一定有值得坚持的东西,对吗 )”可知,作者投身于钢琴并非出于经济原因,没打算从中赚钱。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The easy guess is that I was always so purely in love with music and piano that I couldn’t bear to let them go. However, it’s a bit more complicated than that.

(我对钢琴的爱恨情仇既是种植下的也是逐渐增长的。)”可知,作者和钢琴的关系是苦乐参半的。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“This summer, I started learning the guitar. I deliberately wanted to learn on my own—this was just for me, to form a new relationship to music. (今年夏天,我开始学吉他。我有意地想要自己学习——这只是为了我自己,与音乐建立一种新的关系。)”可知,作者渴望与音乐建立一种新的关系而学习吉他。故选B项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“The love and hate I’ve had for the piano were both planted and grown. If you too have learned to hate something you once loved—or something you never chose—remember that with dedication, it can be uprooted, and love can make a home in its place. (我对钢琴的爱恨情仇既是种植下的也是逐渐增长的。如果你也学会了恨你曾经爱过的东西——或者你从未选择过的东西——记住:只要付出努力,它可以被连根拔起,而爱则可以在它的原地建立一个家。)”可知,本文中,作者通过自己学习乐器的经历说明爱是能够种植培养的。选项C“爱是一种种植的东西。”符合主题,适合做标题。故选C项。
C
We’ve been told for years that self-driving cars are just approaching. But it’s time to accept the truth, said Darrell Etherington on TechCrunch: they “aren’t going to happen” in our lifetimes.
I’ve long been excited about the potential of this technology, but my remaining optimism left me finally last month when Ford and Volkswagen announced they were stopping running Argo Al, their autonomous driving tech joint firm. Argo was considered a leader in the field. But Ford feels that “producing profitable, fully autonomous vehicles on a large scale is a long way off”, and it could no longer stomach the increasing costs. This is just the latest setback.
True, General Motors is making progress in trialling driverless vehicles on the roads, but only on a small scale. Tesla is pushing ahead with its self-driving technology, but its ambitions can be limited by an investigation that is looking into some accidents involving its “Autopilot” system. Some of the firmest believers in self-driving technology have turned nonbelievers. State-of-the-art robot cars still “struggle” with construction sites, road blocks, and sometimes even simple left turns.
I recently took a ride in a self-driving taxi in the city of Chandler, Arizona. There was an undeniable horror-movie aspect to sitting in the back of a vehicle and watching the steering wheel turn autonomously. To my relief, it slowed when other vehicles behaved improperly. I was just about to feel relaxed and text a coworker when the taxi came to a sudden stop at one point. A truck stopped in front of us and wanted to go backwards in order to take a missed turning. Unclear about what to do next, the taxi “chirped(吱吱叫) to call a human specialist to solve the situation”. Fortunately, the truck driver decided to drive on and we continued our way. My driverless experience made me believe this technology may never be possible to make passengers relaxed when they are in a driverless vehicle. Even so, I won’t undervalue the technological advances that have been made—after all, who knows what the future will look like.
8. What can we infer from Darrell Etherington’s words
A. Self-driving cars will be replaced by other technology.
B. Self-driving cars will change our travel mode.
C. Self-driving cars are approaching us.
D. Self-driving cars are just a dream now.
9. What does the underlined word “stomach” probably mean in paragraph 2
A. Endure. B. Reduce. C. Regain. D. Remove.
10. Why General Motors and Tesla are mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To prove self-driving technology has made big progress.
B. To prove self-driving technology has a long way to go.
C. To prove self-driving technology is totally impractical.
D. To prove self-driving technology has great potential.
11. What is author’s attitude towards the self-driving technology
A. Critical. B. Conventional. C. Favorable. D. Indifferent.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了自动驾驶汽车发展中遇到的限制,并通过自己乘坐自动驾驶出租车的经历来说明这种技术无法让乘客真正放松,但即便如此,这种技术的前途依然不可小觑。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But it’s time to accept the truth, said Darrell Etherington on TechCrunch: they ‘aren’t going to happen’ in our lifetimes.(但现在是时候接受真相了,Darrell Etherington在TechCrunch上说:在我们的有生之年,这些事情‘不会发生’。)”可知,自动驾驶汽车在我们这一生中不会出现,由此可推知,自动驾驶汽车现在还只是一个梦想,无法成为现实,故D项正确。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。结合第二段中的“But Ford feels that ‘producing profitable, fully autonomous vehicles on a large scale is a long way off’”可知,福特公司认为大规模生产盈利的全自动驾驶汽车还有很长的路要走。再结合画线词前的could no longer和空后的the increasing costs可知,福特无法承受不断增加的成本。stomach与endure(忍耐,忍受)意思最接近。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“True, General Motors is making progress in trialling driverless vehicles on the roads, but only on a small scale. Tesla is pushing ahead with its self-driving technology, but its ambitions can be limited by an investigation that is looking into some accidents involving its ‘Autopilot’ system. (诚然,通用汽车公司在道路上试验无人驾驶汽车方面取得了进展,但规模很小。特斯拉正在推进其自动驾驶技术,但其雄心可能会受到一项调查的限制,该调查正在调查一些涉及其‘自动驾驶’系统的事故。)”可知,通用汽车公司仅在小规模测试无人驾驶汽车,特斯拉受到自动驾驶系统事故的影响,由此可推测出,本段列举通用和特斯拉的例子都是为了证明这项技术还有很远的路要走。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Even so, I won’t undervalue the technological advances that have been made—after all, who knows what the future will look like.(即便如此,我也不会低估已经取得的技术进步——毕竟,谁知道未来会是什么样子。)”可知,作者虽然认为乘坐无人驾驶汽车体验不佳,但仍旧不敢低估这项科技,对其未来仍充满希望,所以作者对这项技术持支持态度。故C项正确。
D
You’ve probably heard the phrase, “Laughter is the best medicine.” Comedy on Referral has taken that idea and run with it, using stand-up comedy to help treat people struggling with trauma (精神创伤) and anxiety in partnership with the National Health Service (NHS).
The idea came from comedian Angie Belcher’s experiences teaching comedy at the University of Bristol. She found that students often told her how much stronger and more resilient (有适应力的) they were thanks to stand-up comedy.
Inspired, she teamed up with the NHS in Bristol to create a six-week comedy course for patients struggling with trauma in January 2022. Following the success of this initial course, Comedy on Referral won NHS funding to help men with trauma in London.
Belcher said, “Past traumas are perfect for comedy. Comedy doesn’t come from the happy, perfect moments of your life, but from our everyday struggles and major life events. People who’ve been through big life experiences such as losing a loved one and ill health often can’t wait to tell me their stories, mostly because there’s always something especially funny about the situation.”
Research has shown that laughter has positive psychological effects, such as decreasing levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) and increasing endorphins (the hormone that reduces the feeling of pain). It can even have physiological benefits, although less research has been done in this area. Current research has linked laughter and humour with increased levels of pain tolerance as well as short-term cardiovascular (心血管的) benefits. More research is needed to prove these findings
Nonetheless, the mental health benefits of regular laughter are widely accepted, and using comedy to treat mental health struggles could be a real breakthrough in the treatment of mental health.
12. Why is the phrase mentioned in paragraph 1
A. To explain the harm trauma causes. B. To stress the importance of laughter.
C. To show the effect of stand-up comedy. D. To state the idea behind Comedy on Referral.
13. How was the first six-week comedy course for patients
A. Effective. B. Ambiguous. C. Fruitless. D. Controversial.
14. What may contribute to a comedy according to Belcher
A. Struggling moments. B. Funny moments.
C. Successful moments. D. Boring moments.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Comedy is one thing that can make you struggle B. Laughter is useful for people’s mental health
C. Anxiety can also make you feel better D. Laughter will cure you of all diseases
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. B
【解析】

( 你可能听过这句话:“笑是最好的药。”转介喜剧采用了这一理念,并与英国国家医疗服务体系(NHS)合作,用单口喜剧来帮助治疗遭受创伤和焦虑困扰的人。)”可知,转介喜剧采纳了“笑是最好的药”这一想法,利用单口喜剧来帮助人们,由此可推知,作者在第一段提及此谚语是为了介绍转介喜剧背后的理念。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Inspired, she teamed up with the NHS in Bristol to create a six-week comedy course for patients struggling with trauma in January 2022.

(受启发,她与布里斯托尔的英国国家医疗服务体系合作,于2022年1月为创伤患者开设了为期六周的喜剧课程。在这门初级课程取得成功后,转介喜剧获得了英国国家医疗服务体系的资助,帮助伦敦的男性创伤患者。)”可知,第一个六周的喜剧课程对病人是有效的。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中Belcher所说“Past traumas are perfect for comedy. Comedy doesn’t come from the happy, perfect moments of your life, but from our everyday struggles and major life events. (过去的创伤是喜剧的完美素材。喜剧不是来自你生活中快乐、完美的时刻,而是来自我们每天的挣扎和生活中的重大事件。)”可知,在Belcher看来,是挣扎的时刻促成了一部喜剧。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,根据第一段“You’ve probably heard the phrase, ‘Laughter is the best medicine.’ Comedy on Referral has taken that idea and run with it, using stand-up comedy to help treat people struggling with trauma (精神创伤) and anxiety in partnership with the National Health Service (NHS).

In searching for ways to help children with learning disabilities, remember that you are looking for ways to help them help themselves. Your job as a parent is not to “cure” the learning disability, but to give your child the social and emotional tools they need to work through challenges. Always remember that the way you behave and respond to challenges has a big influence on your child. A good attitude won’t solve the problems associated with a learning disability. But it can give your child hope and confidence. ______16______

【解析】
【导语】本文是新闻报道。介绍了四川南充的“川北大木偶表演”相关技艺和现状。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:四川南充的“川北大木偶表演”于2006年被列入国家级非物质文化遗产名录。分析句子结构可知,list作本句谓语,根据时间状语since 2006可知,应用现在完成时,又主语是The “Chuanbei Big Puppet (木偶) Show”,两者是被动关系,应该用被动语态,所以用现在完成时的被动语态。故填has been listed。
【37题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:这种传统表演的特别之处在于使用真人大小的木偶。分析句子结构可知,空处引导主语从句,从句中缺少主语,应该用连接代词what引导,位于句首,首字母应大写。故填What。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这门艺术有300多年的历史,82岁的李思远是这一行业公认的大师。分析句子结构可知,空后是名词,所以空处应填形容词作定语,此处修饰人,应该用-ed形容词recognized或者recognised,意为“公认的,认可的”。故填recognized或者recognised。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:你不能简单地依靠你的手来表演大型木偶戏。提示修饰空后的动词,用副词simply作状语,意为“简单地”。故填simply。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:木偶通过木偶师的控制,可以打扮,点燃蜡烛,甚至表演神奇的变脸表演。candle为可数名词,句中用的单数,前应用不定冠词修饰,candle发音为辅音音素开头,用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【41题详解】
考查代词。句意:要真正控制好它们需要技巧和努力。分析句子结构可知,此处考查固定搭配:it takes sth. to do sth.意为“做某事需要某物”,所以此处应填it作形式主语。故填It。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:传统的木偶,以及操控木偶的能力,在中国正迅速变得稀罕。分析句子结构可知,本句已有谓语动词is,所以control用非谓语形式,它的逻辑主语是ability,其后学用不定式作后置定语;ability to do...“做……的能力”。故填to control。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:因此,将这种濒临灭绝的文化遗产一代一代地传承下去是一项真正的挑战。分析句子结构可知,本句已有谓语动词is,所以pass应该用非谓语形式,本句缺少主语,所以此处应用动名词作主语。故填passing。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:因此,将这种濒临灭绝的文化遗产一代一代地传承下去是一项真正的挑战。此处考查固定搭配:pass sth. to sb意为“把某物传给某人”。故填to。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意:好消息是,南充的大型木偶戏正在慢慢获得年轻一代的认可和欢迎。分析句子结构可知,空处和后文的popularity并列,所以空处应填名词作并列宾语,accept的名词形式是acceptance。故填acceptance。

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。
“Oh, no!” Jack shouted while looking at the likes and comments on his recent TikTok video.
“Why aren’t people reacting to my content as they used to ”
Jack was a 19-year-old strong and muscular man addicted to the gym. He loved recording exercise videos and posting them on his TikTok account. Initially, his video logs (vlogs) were popular, but his posts’ reach soon decreased.
Jack wondered why people had stopped sharing and liking his videos, “Maybe my audience is tired of watching me work out in the gym,” he thought, determined to change the location of his videos.
The following day, Jack went to the neighborhood park and began filming while walking on the track.“Hi, guys! How about we shake things up a little I’m to work out in the park today!” he said excitedly, looking into the camera lens (镜头).
“Let’s look for a good spot to warm up,” he said as he walked towards a bench(长椅), on which sat an elderly lady. Jack thought the bench was the perfect place to film his video because of the light.
He put his tripod stand (三脚架) on the bench and set the camera, but he felt like he needed the full bench. He wanted to place his camera where the lady sat, so he gestured to her to move, but the woman didn’t seem to understand.
“Get out of my way!” he yelled.“Can’t you see I’m filming a video You old fool!” Looking him up and down in surprise, the old lady didn’t argue over his disrespectful attitude and quietly walked towards another bench.
Jack set his camera up, pressed the record button and waved at his followers, ready to demonstrate exercises. Suddenly, he tripped on a loose stone, lost balance and fell down, his head striking the bench and bleeding heavily.
Crying in pain, Jack tried to get up, but he didn’t have the strength to rise. He collapsed on the ground, screaming desperately for help.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version
There was nobody around but the elderly lady. She hurried to him and bent down to check his injury. “God!” she gasped. “Don’t move. I’ll help you, son.” Looking at her kind face, Jack gradually lost consciousness. Having called an ambulance, the lady tended to his wounds carefully. Not until Jack came to and found himself and his belongings in an emergency room did he learn that the lady had contacted his family and quietly left. Overwhelmed by her virtue, Jack was desperate to find her. Fortunately, the rescue scene was wholly recorded by his camera. He posted the video online, requesting clues so that he could say thanks and sorry to her.
To Jack’s joy, a net friend sent a message saying where the lady lived. With gifts, Jack headed for the lady’s home. Answering the door, the lady was surprised but immediately got aware of what was going on. She gave Jack a hug, saying smilingly, “So glad to see you well, son.” “Sorry, I came for apologies. I behaved so rudely … and thanks for your help. Otherwise…” Jack choked, ashamed and grateful. “Treat others as you’d like to be treated. Everything will change for the better. I have faith in you,” she comforted the young man affectionately. The incident dramatically transformed Jack, who became helpful, friendly and popular.
