陕西省宝鸡市2024届高三下学期高考模拟检测（二）英语试卷
学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________
一、阅读理解
Great paintings evoke feelings of awe and wonder centuries after they were created. Often the inspiration for a masterpiece came from something very specific: a person the artist knew, a personal experience or a well-known story.
Mona Lisa
It is an oil painting by Leonardo Da Vinci. There has been much speculation about who the woman in the Mona Lisa is, due in part to her mysterious smile. Most scholars nowadays identify the woman as Lisa delGiocondo, the wife of a wealthy silk merchant. Her husband most likely commissioned the painting to celebrate the birth of their second son.
Whistler’s Mother
James Abbott McNeill Whistler originally planned to use a model for this painting and to have her standing. The model did not show up for the appointment, so he asked his mother to stand in. Since she found standing for so long uncomfortable, he changed plans and painted her sitting.
The Starry Night
Vincent van Gogh was a talented artist who struggled with mental health problems throughout his short life. Arguably his most famous painting, The Starry Night depicts a view from his window in an asylum where he stayed because of these mental health issues. Van Gogh painted 21 versions of this view but he may have been surprised to learn that it was the one destined for fame.
Portrait of Dr. Gachet
Van Gogh was eventually released from the asylum, so he needed a new place to stay. His brother connected him with Dr. Gachet, who took Van Gogh in. At first, the artist was skeptical of the doctor’s ability to help him because Dr. Gachet also struggled with mental illness. But just two days after expressing these doubts to his brother, Van Gogh wrote to his sister that he considered the doctor a true friend. Van Gogh ultimately painted Portrait of Dr. Gachet in honor of his friend.
1．Who is Lisa delGiocondo
A. An unknown model. B. A pregnant woman.
C. Leonardo Da Vinci’s wife. D. The wife of a rich businessman.
2．What do The Starry Night and Portrait of Dr. Gachet have in common
A. They are works by the same artist. B. They are both about scenery.
C. They are in honor of friends. D. They are pained at the asylum.
3．What is the text about
A. World-famous artists. B. Western painting styles.
C. Stories behind great paintings. D. Painting process of masterpieces.
Rising food prices have taken a big bite out of what Canadians are able to serve up for dinner but food economists say our ability to cope has been deteriorated by our common decline in cooking skills. “We are less able to cook than we were 30 or 40 years ago, and so it’s much more difficult for us to adapt our diet,” said Mike von Massow, an associate professor at the University of Guelph.
A 2010 federal government report called Improving Cooking and Food Preparation Skills, the most recent of its kind, said that all across the population, processed and pre-prepared foods have been permitted. “Related to this permission is the potential lack of transference of basic, traditional cooking and food preparation skills from parents to children and adolescents,” the report reads.
Moreover, the quality of pre-prepared foods in the market remains uneven, with problems related to the lack of detailed labelling on such products, as well as difficulties in logistics and distribution.
Annie Belov, a 21-year-old student, has taught herself a lot about cooking since food prices started shooting up. “When the inflation (通货膨胀) wasn’t as bad, I was constantly eating out,” said Belov. That might mean food on campus or picking up a prepared item at Safeway when the price was still around $5, she said.
Belov now often makes dishes such as Caesar salad, as well as hearty pasta salads that combine carbs with vegetables and a bit of chicken. Belov said she’s a lot more efficient in the kitchen thanks to building her skills through trial and error. “Now, definitely more than before, I can kind of look in the pantry or in the freezer and be like, ‘OK, yeah, I can make a meal quickly and easily.’”
It’s important to note, however, that cooking skills alone cannot solve the affordability problem, said Elaine Power. And in 2023, Food Banks Canada says food insecurity is rising with inflation and the high cost of living. So while cooking skills can better position people to feed themselves and their families as best they can in forced circumstances, “that doesn’t, and can’t, make up for income that is inadequate in the first place.”
4．Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word in paragraph 1
A. worsened. B. interrupted. C. puzzled. D. upset.
5．What is a disadvantage of pre-prepared foods
A. Failing to attract diners. B. The loss of cooking skills.
C. Difficulties in keeping its flavors. D. Shortage of fresh ingredients.
6．What can we say about Annie Belov
A. She suffers a tough financial patch.
B. She ends up showing a love of cooking.
C. She used to dine out at a restaurant.
D. She receives cooking education in schools.
7．What is the key to solve the affordability problem according to Elaine Power
A. Lower cost of living. B. More cooking at home.
C. Food security status. D. Increased income.
Smart phones provide a palm (手掌)-size window to the world, enabling us to do almost anything at the touch of a button. Smart homes look after themselves, and virtual meeting s mean that for many, time spent commuting is a thing of the past.
So we should have more free time. Time which is now spent sleeping, relaxing or simply doing nothing-right We recently interviewed 300 people across Europe to understand how they used digital devices in day-to-day life. This research showed that people want to avoid empty periods of time in their lives, so they fill those periods performing tasks, some of which wouldn’t be possible without technology.
Whether it was waiting for a bus, waking in the morning, or lying in bed at night, our research reported that time which would previously be “empty” was now filled with brain training apps, creating lists of things they should do or try based on their social media feed, and other life admin.
On the face of it some of these tasks may seem like examples of tech saving us time. In theory, online banking should mean I have more time because I no longer need to go to the bank in my lunch break. However, our research suggests that this is not the case.
If the idea that you have more time than ever before is making you choke on your coffee, you are not alone. There is growing evidence that while digital technology may help us to save some time, we end up using that time to do more and more things. For many people, it is no longer enough to simply eat dinner, watch TV or maybe do an exercise class. Instead, in an attempt to avoid wasting time, these activities are performed while also browsing the web in search of the ingredients for a more perfect life and trying to develop a sense of achievement.
It seems that people still see going for a walk or actually being with friends as more valuable than being online. Maybe if we put down the phone a little more, we would have the time to actually cook those recipes we watch online.
8．What conclusion can be drawn in the first paragraph
A. Technology makes our lives easier.
B. We can’t live well without modern technology.
C. Virtual meeting is a thing of the past.
D. A smart home offers you luxury and convenience.
9．What does the research find about free time
A. It is an essential means of relaxation. B. It does good to perform daily tasks.
C. It is secretly stolen by technology. D. It forces people to do more work.
10．What does the example of online banking tell us
A. It’s not too late to get free time back.
B. Lunch break can be saved by online banking.
C. Doing little or nothing is sometimes OK.
D. Technology leads to a denser form of life.
11．Who are the target readers of the text
A. Students in on-line learning. B. Employees working in the bank.
C. People relying on digital devices. D. Researchers in the technological lab.
Mars exploration is a significant scientific expedition and it’s like the Apollo missions on the Moon 50 years ago. While human-led missions to Mars seem likely in the coming decades, what are our prospects of long-term habitation on Mars Scientists have found a way to grow cyanbacteria, also known as blue-green algae (水藻), on Mars. It’s a discovery that could lead to human habitation of the Red Planet.
Cyanobacteria are tiny living things found in water. They release oxygen during photosynthesis (the process by which organisms use sunlight to make their own food). The algae can also transform other gases, such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen, into nutrients, substances that help living things grow. Scientists think that a huge rise in the numbers of cyanobacteria 2.4 billion years ago is what made Earth’s atmosphere breathable.
Mars’ atmosphere is mostly made up of carbon dioxide and nitrogen and there is little oxygen in Mars’s atmosphere. So researchers are hoping the blue-green algae could be used to allow plants to grow there too, for food and medicines. However, it is impossible to grow blue-green algae on Mars naturally. To solve this problem, a team of scientists from the University of Bremen, in Germany, have developed a special bioreactor (生物反应器) called Atmos. A bioreactor is a machine for growing microbes. Using this, the team, led by Dr Cyprien Verseux, showed how cyanobacteria could be grown using resources found on Mars.
Not only did the algae grow as hoped, but they also helped other organisms, such as bacteria, to grow. The bioreactor is still just a test version. It just starts and there is still a long way to go. However, Verseux hopes that the results can inspire a system that could one day support life on Mars.
12．Cyanbacteria could play a significant role in human habitation on Mars because ________.
A. they make their own food
B. they improve photosynthesis
C. they release oxygen and nutrients
D. they absorb carbon dioxide and nitrogen
13．What makes it possible to grow blue-green algae on Mars
A. Improving the bioreactor. B. Inventing a special machine.
C. Using resources found on Mars. D. Experimenting growing microbes.
14．Which word best describes Verseux’s attitude to the current studies
A. Positive. B. Objective. C. Skeptical. D. Conservative.
15．What is the best title of the text
A. Mars Exploration Is Becoming a Hot Issue
B. Scientists Are Testing Bioreactor to Grow Algae
C. Human Habitation on Mars May Not Be a Dream
D. Cyanobacteria Could Be Key to Living on Mars

(笑声是你不由自主地发出的声音。当你笑的时候，你在使用胸腔之间的肌肉。这会挤压你的空气，导致你发出响声。还有其他影响：笑会导致你脸上的15块肌肉收缩（移动），让你咧嘴大笑)”可知，下文在介绍什么是笑，A选项“什么是笑”切合语境。故选A项。
②下文“In fact, it’s a way of connecting with other people. Sophie Scott is a laughter expert and neuroscientist, which means she studies the brain. She told The Week Junior, “The main reason why we laugh is social. It’s something we do to make and maintain bonds with other people and it’s a really important way of us communicating with each other.”(事实上，这是一种与他人建立联系的方式。索菲·斯科特是一位大脑专家和神经科学家，这意味着她研究大脑。她告诉The Week Junior，“我们笑的主要原因是社交。这是我们与他人建立和保持联系的事情，也是我们相互沟通的一种非常重要的方式。”)”着重强调人们笑的主要原因是社交，表明笑是一种与他人建立联系的方式，C选项“令人惊讶的是，这与你的幽默感几乎没有关系”切合语境，与下文形成转折对比，更正人们关于笑的错误认知，表明笑与幽默无关，而与社交有关。故选C项。

④由小标题“Is laughter really good for me (笑真的对我有好处吗？)”和上文“Not only does laughter connect you to others but it can also help when you’re feeling down or worried. Scott says, “Laughter is a very important way to deal with stress.” Endorphins, or feel-good chemicals in your body, are released when you laugh, which can help you feel less anxious and more relaxed. In fact, a recent study by a children’s mental health charity, the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families, shows that 83% of young people rely on laughter to improve their mood.

一、阅读理解
Great paintings evoke feelings of awe and wonder centuries after they were created. Often the inspiration for a masterpiece came from something very specific: a person the artist knew, a personal experience or a well-known story.
Mona Lisa
It is an oil painting by Leonardo Da Vinci. There has been much speculation about who the woman in the Mona Lisa is, due in part to her mysterious smile. Most scholars nowadays identify the woman as Lisa delGiocondo, the wife of a wealthy silk merchant. Her husband most likely commissioned the painting to celebrate the birth of their second son.
Whistler’s Mother
James Abbott McNeill Whistler originally planned to use a model for this painting and to have her standing. The model did not show up for the appointment, so he asked his mother to stand in. Since she found standing for so long uncomfortable, he changed plans and painted her sitting.
The Starry Night
Vincent van Gogh was a talented artist who struggled with mental health problems throughout his short life. Arguably his most famous painting, The Starry Night depicts a view from his window in an asylum where he stayed because of these mental health issues. Van Gogh painted 21 versions of this view but he may have been surprised to learn that it was the one destined for fame.
Portrait of Dr. Gachet
Van Gogh was eventually released from the asylum, so he needed a new place to stay. His brother connected him with Dr. Gachet, who took Van Gogh in. At first, the artist was skeptical of the doctor’s ability to help him because Dr. Gachet also struggled with mental illness. But just two days after expressing these doubts to his brother, Van Gogh wrote to his sister that he considered the doctor a true friend. Van Gogh ultimately painted Portrait of Dr. Gachet in honor of his friend.
1．Who is Lisa delGiocondo
A. An unknown model. B. A pregnant woman.
C. Leonardo Da Vinci’s wife. D. The wife of a rich businessman.
2．What do The Starry Night and Portrait of Dr. Gachet have in common
A. They are works by the same artist. B. They are both about scenery.
C. They are in honor of friends. D. They are pained at the asylum.
3．What is the text about
A. World-famous artists. B. Western painting styles.
C. Stories behind great paintings. D. Painting process of masterpieces.
Rising food prices have taken a big bite out of what Canadians are able to serve up for dinner but food economists say our ability to cope has been deteriorated by our common decline in cooking skills. “We are less able to cook than we were 30 or 40 years ago, and so it’s much more difficult for us to adapt our diet,” said Mike von Massow, an associate professor at the University of Guelph.
A 2010 federal government report called Improving Cooking and Food Preparation Skills, the most recent of its kind, said that all across the population, processed and pre-prepared foods have been permitted. “Related to this permission is the potential lack of transference of basic, traditional cooking and food preparation skills from parents to children and adolescents,” the report reads.
Moreover, the quality of pre-prepared foods in the market remains uneven, with problems related to the lack of detailed labelling on such products, as well as difficulties in logistics and distribution.
Annie Belov, a 21-year-old student, has taught herself a lot about cooking since food prices started shooting up. “When the inflation (通货膨胀) wasn’t as bad, I was constantly eating out,” said Belov. That might mean food on campus or picking up a prepared item at Safeway when the price was still around $5, she said.
Belov now often makes dishes such as Caesar salad, as well as hearty pasta salads that combine carbs with vegetables and a bit of chicken. Belov said she’s a lot more efficient in the kitchen thanks to building her skills through trial and error. “Now, definitely more than before, I can kind of look in the pantry or in the freezer and be like, ‘OK, yeah, I can make a meal quickly and easily.’”
It’s important to note, however, that cooking skills alone cannot solve the affordability problem, said Elaine Power. And in 2023, Food Banks Canada says food insecurity is rising with inflation and the high cost of living. So while cooking skills can better position people to feed themselves and their families as best they can in forced circumstances, “that doesn’t, and can’t, make up for income that is inadequate in the first place.”
4．Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word in paragraph 1
A. worsened. B. interrupted. C. puzzled. D. upset.
5．What is a disadvantage of pre-prepared foods
A. Failing to attract diners. B. The loss of cooking skills.
C. Difficulties in keeping its flavors. D. Shortage of fresh ingredients.
6．What can we say about Annie Belov
A. She suffers a tough financial patch.
B. She ends up showing a love of cooking.
C. She used to dine out at a restaurant.
D. She receives cooking education in schools.
7．What is the key to solve the affordability problem according to Elaine Power
A. Lower cost of living. B. More cooking at home.
C. Food security status. D. Increased income.
Smart phones provide a palm (手掌)-size window to the world, enabling us to do almost anything at the touch of a button. Smart homes look after themselves, and virtual meeting s mean that for many, time spent commuting is a thing of the past.
So we should have more free time. Time which is now spent sleeping, relaxing or simply doing nothing-right We recently interviewed 300 people across Europe to understand how they used digital devices in day-to-day life. This research showed that people want to avoid empty periods of time in their lives, so they fill those periods performing tasks, some of which wouldn’t be possible without technology.
Whether it was waiting for a bus, waking in the morning, or lying in bed at night, our research reported that time which would previously be “empty” was now filled with brain training apps, creating lists of things they should do or try based on their social media feed, and other life admin.
On the face of it some of these tasks may seem like examples of tech saving us time. In theory, online banking should mean I have more time because I no longer need to go to the bank in my lunch break. However, our research suggests that this is not the case.
If the idea that you have more time than ever before is making you choke on your coffee, you are not alone. There is growing evidence that while digital technology may help us to save some time, we end up using that time to do more and more things. For many people, it is no longer enough to simply eat dinner, watch TV or maybe do an exercise class. Instead, in an attempt to avoid wasting time, these activities are performed while also browsing the web in search of the ingredients for a more perfect life and trying to develop a sense of achievement.
It seems that people still see going for a walk or actually being with friends as more valuable than being online. Maybe if we put down the phone a little more, we would have the time to actually cook those recipes we watch online.
8．What conclusion can be drawn in the first paragraph
A. Technology makes our lives easier.
B. We can’t live well without modern technology.
C. Virtual meeting is a thing of the past.
D. A smart home offers you luxury and convenience.
9．What does the research find about free time
A. It is an essential means of relaxation. B. It does good to perform daily tasks.
C. It is secretly stolen by technology. D. It forces people to do more work.
10．What does the example of online banking tell us
A. It’s not too late to get free time back.
B. Lunch break can be saved by online banking.
C. Doing little or nothing is sometimes OK.
D. Technology leads to a denser form of life.
11．Who are the target readers of the text
A. Students in on-line learning. B. Employees working in the bank.
C. People relying on digital devices. D. Researchers in the technological lab.
Mars exploration is a significant scientific expedition and it’s like the Apollo missions on the Moon 50 years ago. While human-led missions to Mars seem likely in the coming decades, what are our prospects of long-term habitation on Mars Scientists have found a way to grow cyanbacteria, also known as blue-green algae (水藻), on Mars. It’s a discovery that could lead to human habitation of the Red Planet.
Cyanobacteria are tiny living things found in water. They release oxygen during photosynthesis (the process by which organisms use sunlight to make their own food). The algae can also transform other gases, such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen, into nutrients, substances that help living things grow. Scientists think that a huge rise in the numbers of cyanobacteria 2.4 billion years ago is what made Earth’s atmosphere breathable.
Mars’ atmosphere is mostly made up of carbon dioxide and nitrogen and there is little oxygen in Mars’s atmosphere. So researchers are hoping the blue-green algae could be used to allow plants to grow there too, for food and medicines. However, it is impossible to grow blue-green algae on Mars naturally. To solve this problem, a team of scientists from the University of Bremen, in Germany, have developed a special bioreactor (生物反应器) called Atmos. A bioreactor is a machine for growing microbes. Using this, the team, led by Dr Cyprien Verseux, showed how cyanobacteria could be grown using resources found on Mars.
Not only did the algae grow as hoped, but they also helped other organisms, such as bacteria, to grow. The bioreactor is still just a test version. It just starts and there is still a long way to go. However, Verseux hopes that the results can inspire a system that could one day support life on Mars.
12．Cyanbacteria could play a significant role in human habitation on Mars because ________.
A. they make their own food
B. they improve photosynthesis
C. they release oxygen and nutrients
D. they absorb carbon dioxide and nitrogen
13．What makes it possible to grow blue-green algae on Mars
A. Improving the bioreactor. B. Inventing a special machine.
C. Using resources found on Mars. D. Experimenting growing microbes.
14．Which word best describes Verseux’s attitude to the current studies
A. Positive. B. Objective. C. Skeptical. D. Conservative.
15．What is the best title of the text
A. Mars Exploration Is Becoming a Hot Issue
B. Scientists Are Testing Bioreactor to Grow Algae
C. Human Habitation on Mars May Not Be a Dream
D. Cyanobacteria Could Be Key to Living on Mars

②下文“In fact, it’s a way of connecting with other people. Sophie Scott is a laughter expert and neuroscientist, which means she studies the brain. She told The Week Junior, “The main reason why we laugh is social.

④由小标题“Is laughter really good for me (笑真的对我有好处吗？)”和上文“Not only does laughter connect you to others but it can also help when you’re feeling down or worried. Scott says, “Laughter is a very important way to deal with stress.” Endorphins, or feel-good chemicals in your body, are released when you laugh, which can help you feel less anxious and more relaxed. In fact, a recent study by a children’s mental health charity, the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families, shows that 83% of young people rely on laughter to improve their mood. Laughter can strengthen the immune system and it has been linked to a healthy heart. (笑不仅能把你与他人联系起来，而且在你情绪低落或担忧时也会有所帮助。斯科特说：“笑是应对压力的一种非常重要的方式。”当你笑的时候，体内会释放内啡肽，或感觉良好的化学物质，这可以帮助你减少焦虑，更放松。事实上，儿童心理健康慈善机构安娜·弗洛伊德国家儿童和家庭中心最近的一项研究表明，83%的年轻人依靠笑声来改善情绪。笑可以增强免疫系统，它与健康的心脏有关)”可知，本段主要讲笑给人带来的好处，该空应承接上文继续讲笑的好处，E选项“而且，与朋友或家人一起大笑可以让你感到安全和有保障”切合语境，选项中“What’s more”提示笑的其他好处。故选E项。
⑤由小标题“What if I’m not in the mood to laugh (如果我没有心情笑呢？)”和上文“It’s possible and normal to laugh when feeling sad. (悲伤时大笑是可能的，也是正常的)”可知，文章举例说明没有想笑的心情下去笑的例子，如悲伤下大笑，D选项“有时，人们会用笑声来缓解尴尬或不安的局面”切合语境，提供了为缓解尴尬或不安局面去笑的例子，它们都不是在想笑的心情下去笑的例子。故选D项。

37．答案：①has increased/is increasing②and③where④Covering⑤had risen⑥their⑦shared⑧because⑨to promote⑩farther
解析：①考查时态和主谓一致。句意：从俄罗斯进入中国东北部的东北虎（也称为西伯利亚虎）数量（正）有所增加，这是因为人类活动水平较低，栖息地有所改善，国家之间的过境走廊更加畅通。increase是谓语动词，表示过去的动作到现在刚刚停止，可用现在完成时，也可表现在正在进行的动作，可用现在进行时，“the number of+复数名词”（……的数量）作主语，谓语单数形式。故填has increased/is increasing。
②考查并列连词。句意：从俄罗斯进入中国东北部的东北虎（也称为西伯利亚虎）数量（正）有所增加，这是因为人类活动水平较低，栖息地有所改善，国家之间的过境走廊更加畅通。lower levels human activity, improvements in their habitat和a smoother transit corridor between countries是并列关系，用并列连词and。故填and。
③考查定语从句关系词。句意：从2003年到2016年，东北虎生活在中俄边境的地区每三年扩大约12公里。该空引导限制性定语从句，先行词是The area，关系词替代先行词在从句中作地点状语，用关系副词where。故填where。
④考查现在分词。句意：公园占地约14100平方公里，横跨黑龙江省和吉林省。逻辑主语the park和非谓语动词cover是主动关系，cover用现在分词形式作状语，首字母大写。故填Covering。
⑤考查时态。句意：截至2021年底，生活在那里的野生东北虎数量已从2017年的27只增加到50只。by the end of +过去时间点，意为“到……结束时”，谓语动词rise用过去完成时。故填had risen。
⑥考查形容词性物主代词。句意：东北虎的保护被认为是一个全球性的挑战，因为它们需要广阔的栖息地。形容词性物主代词their作定语，修饰名词短语expansive habitat requirements。故填their。
⑦考查形容词。句意：这些相邻公园之间的合作为动物们创造了一个共享的家园。形容词shared（共享的、共有的）作定语，修饰名词home。故填shared。
⑧考查原因状语从句。句意：中俄跨境环境走廊的建设至关重要，因为有几个障碍阻碍了双方老虎的移动。分析可知，用从属连词because (因为)引导原因状语从句，强调直接原因，故填because。
⑨考查不定式。句意：双方都需要努力促进这条走廊。分析可知，promote用不定式形式作目的状语。故填to promote。
⑩考查副词比较级。句意：随着包括野猪和鹿在内的猎物数量的增加，东北虎正旅行中国更远觅食。暗含比较含义，用副词比较级farther (距离更远)作状语，修饰动词travelling。故填farther。

解析：①考查时态。句意：上周，我们学校在音乐厅举办了一个中国古典音乐节，以推广中国传统文化。由时间状语Last week可知，事情已发生，谓语动词hold用一般过去时。故将holds改为held。
②考查固定短语。句意：所有的学生都参加了。固定短语take part in (参加)，后面加宾语。故去掉of。
③考查名词。句意：在音乐节期间，二胡、古筝等中国古典乐器演奏的经典曲目令人叹为观止。由erhu and Chinese zither可知，不止一个乐器，用可数名词instrument的复数形式。故将instrument改为instruments。
④考查形容词。句意：在音乐节期间，二胡、古筝等中国古典乐器演奏的经典曲目令人叹为观止。主语classics是物，用说明物性质的-ing形容词amazing (令人大为惊奇的)作表语，-ed形容词amazed说明人的状态或性质。故将amazed改为amazing。
⑤考查并列连词。句意：其中，《高山流水》最受关注。High Mountain和Flowing Water是并列关系，用表并列的并列连词and。故将or改为and。
⑥考查主语从句。句意：此外，学生们最感兴趣的是，他们有机会向一些专家学习这些乐器。 interested the students most是主语从句，从句中缺乏主语，意为“……的东西”，用连接代词what。故将that改为what。
⑦考查时态语态。句意：此外，学生们最感兴趣的是，他们有机会向一些专家学习这些乐器。表语从句主语an opportunity和谓语动词provide是被动关系，结合was，是一般过去时的被动语态（was done），用过去分词provided。故将providing改为provided。
⑧考查不定冠词和形容词。句意：这个节日很成功。可数名词success (成功的事物)，此处表泛指，success以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a限定；或用形容词successful (成功的)作表语。故在be后加a或者success改为successful。
⑨考查宾格代词。句意：参加了这次活动，大家都意识到，我们要对传承和普及我们的传统文化负起重大责任。介词of后，用宾格代词us。故将we改为us。
⑩考查副词。句意：参加了这次活动，大家都意识到，我们要对传承和普及我们的传统文化负起重大责任。副词greatly (非常、很)作状语，修饰形容词responsible。故将great改为greatly。
