People with fixed mindsets believe that: ●Skill, intelligence and talents are natural. ●Failure is shameful and should be avoided. ●Some people are naturally good at things while others not. ●You are not in control of your abilities. People with growth mindsets believe that: ●You have the capacity to learn and grow your skills. ●Failure is a valuable lesson. ●People who are good at something are good because they build that ability. ●You are in control of your abilities.
have a desire to look smart, so tend to: —Avoid challenges. —Give up easily. —See effort as fruitless or worse. —Ignore useful negative feedback. —Feel threatened by the success of others have a desire to learn, so tend to: —Embrace challenges. —Persist in the face of setbacks. —See effort as the path to mastery. —Learn from criticism. —Find lessons and inspiration in the success of others.
As a result, they may stay at the same level early and achieve less than their full potential. As a result, they reach ever-higher levels of achievement.

The year 2023 marks the 102th anniversary of Noether’s ring theory, a branch of theoretical mathematics that is still fascinating and challenging numerous mathematicians today.
Neother was born in 1882 in Germany, whose father was a math professor, but it must have seemed unlikely to a young Neother that she would follow in his footsteps because women were banned from academia and few took classes at universities. After Neother graduated from a high school for girls, Erlangen University started to let women enroll. She signed up and earned her doctorate in mathematics, which should have been the end of her mathematical journey. Teaching at a university for women was still out of the question. But Neother stuck with mathematics anyway, staying in Erlangen and unofficially guiding doctoral students without pay.
In 1915, she applied for a position at the University of Gottingen. Bill Nicholl, the dean at the university, also a mathematician, was in favor of hiring Neother, although his argument was far from feminist (女权主义). “The female brain is unsuitable for mathematical production,” he wrote, “but Neother stood out as one of the rare exceptions.”
Unfortunately for Neother,the Ministry of Education would not give the university permission to have a woman as their teacher. Neother stayed in Gottingen and taught courses listed under the name of a male faculty teacher. During those years, she kept doing research and made important contributions to theoretical physics and Einstein’s theory of relativity. The university finally granted her lecturer status. Two years later, Neother published revolutionary discoveries in ring theory, which is the study of mathematical objects called rings. Neotherian rings show up all the time in modern mathematics. Mathematicians still use Neother’s map today,not just in ring theory,but in other area such as number theory and algebraic geometry.
4. What do we learn about Neother from paragraph 2
A. She taught at university as a teacher. B. She earned a degree in mathematics.
C. She was taught by her father at home D. She quit her mathematical journey early.
5. What can we infer from Bill Nicholl’s words
A. He was struggling for feminist. B. Females’brains differed from males’.
C. Neother was a giant in mathematics. D. Women mathematicians were superb.
6. What do we know about Noether’s ring theory
A. It is still used by mathematicians today.
B. It opens up a new field in modern physics.
C. It is based on Einstein’s theory of relativity.
D. It lays the foundation for modern mathematics.
7. Which of the following can best describe Noether
A. Gifted and generous. B. Sensitive and determined.
C. Committed and creative. D. Hardworking and honest.
C
For want of a chip, the factory was lost. On May 18th Toyota became the latest carmaker forced to cut production in a global shortage of microchips, announcing it would stop work at two of its plants in Japan. Other car makers have also had to send workers home.
The pain is not limited to the car industry, for the shortage spans all sorts of chips, from the expensive, high-tech devices that power smartphones and data-centers to the simple sensors and micro-controllers that have become a vital commodity (商品). This chip drought is the result of the covid-19 pandemic interacting with an industry that is subject to cycles of boom and bust.
“The most important thing”, says Malcolm Penn, who runs a chip-industry consultancy, “is that shortages are a natural part of the industry.” Chipmaking is a good example of a “pork-cycle” business, named for the regular swings between under- and over-supply in pork markets. As with pigs, the supply of chips cannot quickly react to changes in demand. Capacity was tight even before the pandemic, says Mr Penn, pointing out that investment by chipmakers in factory equipment has been below its long-term average for many years.
The pandemic arrived at the worst possible time. After an early crash, demand in several fields boomed. Locked-down consumers bought laptops and other devices. Cloud-computing operators added servers to deal with the wave of home-workers. The car industry was particularly badly hit by a decision to cut orders early in the pandemic-demand for cars has since recovered. But the complexities of the production process mean it takes time to recover. “I can cancel my orders in an afternoon,” says Mr. Penn. “If I want to start them up again, that takes months--and that capacity is now busy serving other customers.”
But the pork cycle is turning once again. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, the world’s biggest chipmaker, plans to spend $30bn on new capacity this year. Two other giants, have also decided on further investment. That will bring relief to the wider economy, but not immediately. The boss of IBM said he thought the shortages might last for two years. And, says Mr Penn, when the drought eventually ends, chipmakers may find they face a familiar problem on a bigger scale: a capacity investment in response to serious shortages today could well mean a sizeable surplus (过剩) tomorrow.
8. How does the author illustrate the cyclical nature of chipmaking in paragraph 3
A. By referring to a quotation. B. By making a comparison.
C. By drawing a conclusion. D. By presenting an argument.
9. What may the investment mentioned in paragraph 5 eventually lead to
A. Improved supply chain stability. B. Timely assistance to the business.
C. Economic growth in related sectors. D. Possible future oversupply of chips.
10. What can we learn from the passage
A. Production capacity would recover soon.
B. A combination of reasons led to chip shortage.
C. An investment of S30bn was enough for the problem.
D. Toyota was the first carmaker to suspend production.
11. What might be the best title for the passage
A. Loading, please wait B. Dying, please act
C. Calling, please respond D. Over-supplying, please stop
D
In his 1936 work How to Win Friends and Influence People Dale Carnegie wrote: “I have come to the conclusion that there is only one way to get the best of an argument — and that is to avoid it.” This distaste for arguments is common, but it depends on a mistaken view of arguments that causes problems for our personal and social lives — and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place.
Carnegie would be right if arguments were fights, which is how we often think of them. Like physical fights, verbal (言语的) fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win, you end up no better off. You would be feeling almost as bad if arguments were even just competitions — like, say, tennis tournaments. Pairs of opponents hit the ball back and forth until one winner comes out from all who entered. Everybody else loses. This kind of thinking explains why so many people try to avoid arguments.
However, there are ways to win an argument every time. When you state your position, formulate (阐述) an argument for what you claim and honestly ask yourself whether your argument is any good. When you talk with someone who takes a stand, ask them to give you a reason for their view and spell out their argument fully. Assess its strength and weakness. Raise objections (异议) and listen carefully to their replies. This method will require effort, but practice will make you better at it.
These tools can help you win every argument — not in the unhelpful sense of beating your opponents but in the better sense of learning about what divides people, learning why they disagree with us and learning to talk and work together with them. If we readjust our view of arguments — from a verbal fight or tennis game to a reasoned exchange through which we all gain respect and understanding from each other — then we change the very nature of what it means to “win” an argument.
12. What is the author’s attitude toward Carnegie’s understanding of argument
A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Tolerant. D. Uncertain.
13. Why do many people try to avoid arguments
A. They lack debating skills. B. They may feel bad even if they win.
C. They fear being ignored. D. They are not confident in themselves.
14. What does the underlined phrase “spell out” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Defend. B. Explain. C. Conclude. D. Repeat.
15. What is the key to “winning” an argument according to the author
A. Sense of logic. B. Solid supporting evidence.
C. Proper manners. D. Understanding from both sides.

Can We Stop Food Longing Through Imaginary Eating
Are you fighting an urge to reach for chocolate Then, let it melt in your mind, not in your mouth. According to the recent research, imagining eating a specific food reduces your interest in that food, so you eat less of it.
This reaction to repeated exposure to food—being less interested in something because you’ve experienced it too much—is called habituation. _____16_____
The research is the first to show that habituation can occur through the power of the mind. “If you just think about the food itself—how it tastes and smells—that will increase your appetite,” said Carey Morewedge, a well-known psychologist. “It might be better to force yourself to repeatedly think about chewing and swallowing the food in order to reduce your longing. _____17_____ Visualizing yourself eating chocolate wouldn’t prevent you from eating lots of cheese,” he added.
Morewedge conducted an interesting experiment. 51 subjects were divided into three groups. One group was asked to imagine putting 30 coins into a laundry machine and then eating three chocolates. _____18_____ Another group was asked to imagine putting three coins into a laundry machine and then eating 30 chocolates. Lastly, a control group imagined just putting 33 coins into the machine—with no chocolates. _____19_____ When they said they had finished, these were taken away and weighed. The results showed the group that had imagined eating 30 chocolates each ate fewer of the chocolates than the other groups.
_____20_____ Physical signals—that full stomach feeling—are only part of what tells us we’ve finished a meal. The research suggests that psychological effects, such as habituation, also influence how much a person eats. It may lead to new behavioral techniques for people looking to eat more healthily, or have control over other habits.
A. What’s more, this only works with the specific food you’ve imagined.
B. People were advised to try different methods to perform the experiment.
C. For example, a tenth bite is desired less than the first bite, according to the study.
D. All of them then ate freely from bowls containing the same amount of chocolate each.
E. It meant those who repeatedly imagined eating would concern about some specific food.
F. This requires the same motor skills as eating small chocolates from a packet, the study says.
G. This study is part of the research looking into what makes us eat more than we actually need.

【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据文中两个表格内容“People with fixed mindsets believe that(固定心态的人认为)”和“People with growth mindsets believe that(拥有成长型心态的人相信)”可知,本文通过两种不同心态的人进行对比,最后得出结论,根据表格最后“Change can be tough, but I’ve never heard anyone say it wasn’t worth it. Did changing to a growth mindset solve all my problems No. But I know that I have a different life because of it—a richer one.(改变是艰难的,但我从未听任何人说不值得。转变成长型思维模式能解决我所有的问题吗?不。但我知道,我有一个不同的生活,因为它——一个更丰富的生活)”可知,《心态》一书的目的是说服人们学会改变,才能享受更丰硕的人生。故选D项。
【2题详解】

The year 2023 marks the 102th anniversary of Noether’s ring theory, a branch of theoretical mathematics that is still fascinating and challenging numerous mathematicians today.
Neother was born in 1882 in Germany, whose father was a math professor, but it must have seemed unlikely to a young Neother that she would follow in his footsteps because women were banned from academia and few took classes at universities. After Neother graduated from a high school for girls, Erlangen University started to let women enroll. She signed up and earned her doctorate in mathematics, which should have been the end of her mathematical journey. Teaching at a university for women was still out of the question. But Neother stuck with mathematics anyway, staying in Erlangen and unofficially guiding doctoral students without pay.
In 1915, she applied for a position at the University of Gottingen. Bill Nicholl, the dean at the university, also a mathematician, was in favor of hiring Neother, although his argument was far from feminist (女权主义). “The female brain is unsuitable for mathematical production,” he wrote, “but Neother stood out as one of the rare exceptions.”
Unfortunately for Neother,the Ministry of Education would not give the university permission to have a woman as their teacher. Neother stayed in Gottingen and taught courses listed under the name of a male faculty teacher. During those years, she kept doing research and made important contributions to theoretical physics and Einstein’s theory of relativity. The university finally granted her lecturer status. Two years later, Neother published revolutionary discoveries in ring theory, which is the study of mathematical objects called rings. Neotherian rings show up all the time in modern mathematics. Mathematicians still use Neother’s map today,not just in ring theory,but in other area such as number theory and algebraic geometry.
4. What do we learn about Neother from paragraph 2
A. She taught at university as a teacher. B. She earned a degree in mathematics.
C. She was taught by her father at home D. She quit her mathematical journey early.
5. What can we infer from Bill Nicholl’s words
A. He was struggling for feminist. B. Females’brains differed from males’.
C. Neother was a giant in mathematics. D. Women mathematicians were superb.
6. What do we know about Noether’s ring theory
A It is still used by mathematicians today.
B. It opens up a new field in modern physics.
C. It is based on Einstein’s theory of relativity.
D It lays the foundation for modern mathematics.
7. Which of the following can best describe Noether
A. Gifted and generous. B. Sensitive and determined.
C. Committed and creative. D. Hardworking and honest.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. C
【解析】

For want of a chip, the factory was lost. On May 18th Toyota became the latest carmaker forced to cut production in a global shortage of microchips, announcing it would stop work at two of its plants in Japan. Other car makers have also had to send workers home.
The pain is not limited to the car industry, for the shortage spans all sorts of chips, from the expensive, high-tech devices that power smartphones and data-centers to the simple sensors and micro-controllers that have become a vital commodity (商品). This chip drought is the result of the covid-19 pandemic interacting with an industry that is subject to cycles of boom and bust.
“The most important thing”, says Malcolm Penn, who runs a chip-industry consultancy, “is that shortages are a natural part of the industry.” Chipmaking is a good example of a “pork-cycle” business, named for the regular swings between under- and over-supply in pork markets. As with pigs, the supply of chips cannot quickly react to changes in demand. Capacity was tight even before the pandemic, says Mr Penn, pointing out that investment by chipmakers in factory equipment has been below its long-term average for many years.
The pandemic arrived at the worst possible time. After an early crash, demand in several fields boomed. Locked-down consumers bought laptops and other devices. Cloud-computing operators added servers to deal with the wave of home-workers. The car industry was particularly badly hit by a decision to cut orders early in the pandemic-demand for cars has since recovered. But the complexities of the production process mean it takes time to recover. “I can cancel my orders in an afternoon,” says Mr. Penn. “If I want to start them up again, that takes months--and that capacity is now busy serving other customers.”
But the pork cycle is turning once again. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, the world’s biggest chipmaker, plans to spend $30bn on new capacity this year. Two other giants, have also decided on further investment. That will bring relief to the wider economy, but not immediately. The boss of IBM said he thought the shortages might last for two years. And, says Mr Penn, when the drought eventually ends, chipmakers may find they face a familiar problem on a bigger scale: a capacity investment in response to serious shortages today could well mean a sizeable surplus (过剩) tomorrow.
8. How does the author illustrate the cyclical nature of chipmaking in paragraph 3
A. By referring to a quotation. B. By making a comparison.
C. By drawing a conclusion. D. By presenting an argument.
9. What may the investment mentioned in paragraph 5 eventually lead to
A. Improved supply chain stability. B. Timely assistance to the business.
C. Economic growth in related sectors. D. Possible future oversupply of chips.
10. What can we learn from the passage
A. Production capacity would recover soon.
B. A combination of reasons led to chip shortage.
C. An investment of S30bn was enough for the problem.
D. Toyota was the first carmaker to suspend production.
11. What might be the best title for the passage
A. Loading, please wait B. Dying, please act
C. Calling, please respond D. Over-supplying, please stop
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. A

【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““The most important thing”, says Malcolm Penn, who runs a chip-industry consultancy, “is that shortages are a natural part of the industry.” Chipmaking is a good example of a “pork-cycle” business, named for the regular swings between under- and over-supply in pork markets. As with pigs, the supply of chips cannot quickly react to changes in demand. Capacity was tight even before the pandemic, says Mr Penn, pointing out that investment by chipmakers in factory equipment has been below its long-term average for many years.(“最重要的是,”经营一家芯片行业咨询公司的马尔科姆 佩恩说,“短缺是这个行业的一个自然组成部分。”芯片制造是“猪肉周期”的一个很好的例子,以猪肉市场供应不足和供应过剩之间的定期波动命名。与猪肉供应一样,芯片的供应无法迅速对需求变化做出反应。佩恩表示,即使在疫情爆发之前,产能也很紧张。他指出,芯片制造商对工厂设备的投资多年来一直低于长期平均水平)”可知,作者通过比较说明芯片制造的周期性。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“And, says Mr Penn, when the drought eventually ends, chipmakers may find they face a familiar problem on a bigger scale: a capacity investment in response to serious shortages today could well mean a sizeable surplus (过剩) tomorrow.(佩恩表示,当严重短缺最终结束时,芯片制造商可能会发现,他们在更大范围内面临一个熟悉的问题:为应对今天的严重短缺而进行的产能投资,很可能意味着明天会出现相当大的过剩)”可知,第5段提到的投资最终会导致未来可能出现的芯片供过于求。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“This chip drought is the result of the covid-19 pandemic interacting with an industry that is subject to cycles of boom and bust.(这种芯片短缺是新冠疫情与受繁荣与萧条周期影响的行业相互作用的结果)”可知,多种原因导致了芯片短缺。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“For want of a chip, the factory was lost.

In his 1936 work How to Win Friends and Influence People, Dale Carnegie wrote: “I have come to the conclusion that there is only one way to get the best of an argument — and that is to avoid it.” This distaste for arguments is common, but it depends on a mistaken view of arguments that causes problems for our personal and social lives — and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place.
Carnegie would be right if arguments were fights, which is how we often think of them. Like physical fights, verbal (言语的) fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win, you end up no better off. You would be feeling almost as bad if arguments were even just competitions — like, say, tennis tournaments. Pairs of opponents hit the ball back and forth until one winner comes out from all who entered. Everybody else loses. This kind of thinking explains why so many people try to avoid arguments.
However, there are ways to win an argument every time. When you state your position, formulate (阐述) an argument for what you claim and honestly ask yourself whether your argument is any good. When you talk with someone who takes a stand, ask them to give you a reason for their view and spell out their argument fully. Assess its strength and weakness. Raise objections (异议) and listen carefully to their replies. This method will require effort, but practice will make you better at it.
These tools can help you win every argument — not in the unhelpful sense of beating your opponents but in the better sense of learning about what divides people, learning why they disagree with us and learning to talk and work together with them. If we readjust our view of arguments — from a verbal fight or tennis game to a reasoned exchange through which we all gain respect and understanding from each other — then we change the very nature of what it means to “win” an argument.
12. What is the author’s attitude toward Carnegie’s understanding of argument
A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Tolerant. D. Uncertain.
13. Why do many people try to avoid arguments
A. They lack debating skills. B. They may feel bad even if they win.
C. They fear being ignored. D. They are not confident in themselves.
14. What does the underlined phrase “spell out” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Defend. B. Explain. C. Conclude. D. Repeat.
15. What is the key to “winning” an argument according to the author
A. Sense of logic. B. Solid supporting evidence.
C. Proper manners. D. Understanding from both sides.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. D

推理判断题。根据第一段中“This distaste for arguments is common, but it depends on a mistaken view of arguments that causes problems for our personal and social lives — and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place.(这种对争论的厌恶是很普遍的,但它取决于对争论的错误看法,这种观点会给我们的个人和社会生活带来问题——而且在很多方面,它首先忽略了争论的意义)”可知,作者对于Carnegie对争论的看法持批判态度,故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Like physical fights, verbal (言语的) fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win, you end up no better off. You would be feeling almost as bad if arguments were even just competitions — like, say, tennis tournaments.(和身体上的打斗一样,言语上的打斗也会让双方流血。即使你赢了,你最终也不会变得更好。如果争论只是一场比赛,比如网球比赛,你也会感觉很糟糕)”可知, 很多人尽量避免争论,是因为即使赢了他们也感觉很糟糕,故选B。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线短语所在句“ask them to give you a reason for their view”可知,让他们为自己的观点提供依据,即让他们充分阐明他们的观点,spell out意为“解释明白,讲清楚”,故选B。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“If we readjust our view of arguments — from a verbal fight or tennis game to a reasoned exchange through which we all gain respect and understanding from each other — then we change the very nature of what it means to “win” an argument.(如果我们重新调整我们对争论的看法——从一场口水战或网球比赛转变为一种理性的交流,通过这种交流,我们都能获得彼此的尊重和理解——那么我们就改变了‘赢得’争论的本质)”可知,作者认为“赢得”争论的关键是通过交流获得彼此的尊重和理解,故选D。

Can We Stop Food Longing Through Imaginary Eating
Are you fighting an urge to reach for chocolate Then, let it melt in your mind, not in your mouth. According to the recent research, imagining eating a specific food reduces your interest in that food, so you eat less of it.
This reaction to repeated exposure to food—being less interested in something because you’ve experienced it too much—is called habituation. _____16_____
The research is the first to show that habituation can occur through the power of the mind. “If you just think about the food itself—how it tastes and smells—that will increase your appetite,” said Carey Morewedge, a well-known psychologist. “It might be better to force yourself to repeatedly think about chewing and swallowing the food in order to reduce your longing. _____17_____ Visualizing yourself eating chocolate wouldn’t prevent you from eating lots of cheese,” he added.
Morewedge conducted an interesting experiment. 51 subjects were divided into three groups. One group was asked to imagine putting 30 coins into a laundry machine and then eating three chocolates. _____18_____ Another group was asked to imagine putting three coins into a laundry machine and then eating 30 chocolates. Lastly, a control group imagined just putting 33 coins into the machine—with no chocolates. _____19_____ When they said they had finished, these were taken away and weighed. The results showed the group that had imagined eating 30 chocolates each ate fewer of the chocolates than the other groups.
_____20_____ Physical signals—that full stomach feeling—are only part of what tells us we’ve finished a meal. The research suggests that psychological effects, such as habituation, also influence how much a person eats. It may lead to new behavioral techniques for people looking to eat more healthily, or have control over other habits.
A. What’s more, this only works with the specific food you’ve imagined.
B. People were advised to try different methods to perform the experiment.
C. For example, a tenth bite is desired less than the first bite, according to the study.
D. All of them then ate freely from bowls containing the same amount of chocolate each.
E. It meant those who repeatedly imagined eating would concern about some specific food.
F. This requires the same motor skills as eating small chocolates from a packet, the study says.
G. This study is part of the research looking into what makes us eat more than we actually need.
【答案】16. C 17. A 18. F 19. D 20. G
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇选句填空。文章介绍了心理因素对人们饮食数量的影响,例如“习惯化”。
【16题详解】
根据横线前面一句This reaction to repeated exposure to food—being less interested in something because you’ve experienced it too much—is called habituation.可知,当我们多次接触到某一食物的时候,我们对它的兴趣就会减少,因为我们已经熟悉了它。,C项:For example, a tenth bite is desired less than the first bite, according to the study.(例如,根据这项研究,第十口要比第一口少。)是对前面理论的举例说明,故选C。
【17题详解】
根据横线后面一句Visualizing yourself eating chocolate wouldn’t prevent you from eating lots of cheese可知,想象自己吃巧克力的样子不会阻止你吃奶酪。也就是说我们要想象自己吃某种具体的食物,这样才会减少你对这种食物的渴望。A项:What’s more, this only works with the specific food you’ve imagined.(而且,这只适用于你想象中的特定食物。)恰好与此吻合,故选A。
【18题详解】
根据本段前面两句Morewedge conducted an interesting experiment. 51 subjects were divided into three groups.可知,研究人员对此问题进行了分组研究。第一组的研究对象被要求想象把30个硬币扔进洗衣机,然后想象吃了3个巧克力。这和从口袋里拿出巧克力来吃有类似的运动神经技巧,所以研究人员才会这样开展研究。F项:This requires the same motor skills as eating small chocolates from a packet, the study says.(这项研究称,这需要和吃小巧克力一样的运动技能。)符合文意,故选F。
【19题详解】
根据本段最后一句The results showed the group that had imagined eating 30 chocolates each ate fewer of the chocolates than the other groups.可知,在这些人吃完以后,进行称重。结果发现想象每次吃了30个巧克力的人实际上吃了最少。也就是说在他们实验结束以后,会让他们自由地吃巧克力。D项:All of them then ate freely from bowls containing the same amount of chocolate each.(然后,他们所有人都可以自由地从盛有相同数量巧克力的碗中进食。)符合文意,故选D。
【20题详解】
根据本段第三句The research suggests that psychological effects, such as habituation, also influence how much a person eats.可知,本次研究说明心理方面的因素会影响人们吃的东西的量。由此可见这个研究是关于人们饮食数量的话题。G项:This study is part of the research looking into what makes us eat more than we actually need.(这项研究是研究什么使我们吃得比实际需要的多的研究的一部分。),故选G。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了安徽歙县砚台雕刻家胡秋生对砚台的传承和推广。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:雕刻石头的耗时过程,同时保持其自然和独特的美,可以比作帮助每个学生充分发挥潜力的教育。固定搭配be compared to意为“被比作”,to是介词。故填to。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:安徽作为“文房四宝”——即笔、墨、纸、砚——的发源地,自古就有把教育推向领先地位的传统。分析句子结构,空处引导一个定语从句,指代先行词the place,且在从句中作地点状语,应用关系副词where引导。故填where。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:安徽歙县生产的砚台以其长时间保持墨水湿润的能力和令人惊叹的精细图案而闻名。分析句子结构,本句的谓语是are,所以空处应用非谓语动词。逻辑主语The ink stones和produce之间是动宾关系,应用过去分词,作后置定语。故填produced。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意参考上题。空处应用修饰detailed,应用副词amazingly意为“令人惊叹地”。故填amazingly。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这些都是歙县砚台雕刻家胡秋生一直追求并在家族中传承的特点。根据空后的“ink stone carver and engraver (雕刻师)”可知,这里表示泛指,且ink的发音以元音音素开头,应用不定冠词an。故填an。
【41题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意参考上题。根据句中的时间状语“all the time”可知,这里应用现在完成时,表示动作从过去一直持续到现在。主语为Hu Qiusheng,所以谓语应用单数。故填has pursued。
【42题详解】
考查让步状语从句。句意:尽管四十年的手工使胡的手指变形,但他在工艺美术领域获得了许多奖项。分析句子结构,空处引导一个状语从句。根据句意,“four decades of handwork has deformed(变形) his fingers”和“Hu has won many awards in the field of crafts and fine arts”之间是让步关系,应用Although/Though/While引导让步状语从句。故填Although/Though/While。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:他自己的公司是中国领先的砚台生产商之一,也赞助了一些比赛,鼓励年轻一代的砚台制作者展示他们的技能,进一步发展这一工艺。空处修饰ink stone producers,应用形容词leading意为“领先的,一流的”,作定语。故填leading。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数。句意参考上题。competition意为“比赛”,为可数名词。空前没有限定词修饰,应用名词复数。故填competitions。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意参考第8题。固定搭配encourage sb. to do sth.意为“鼓励某人做某事”,不定式作宾补。故填to display。
第三节 语法填空( 共 5 小题,每题 1 分,满分 5 分)
阅读下面的句子,在空白处填入适当的内容(1 个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
46. Even the best writers sometimes find themselves______(lose)for words.
【答案】lost
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:即使是最好的作家有时也会发现自己陷入词穷。根据所给句子分析可知,此处lose为非谓语动词作宾补,固定结构“find sb. +宾补”及themselves与lose是被动关系可知,此处需要使用过去分词lost,故填lost。
47. He is thought _________ (act) foolishly. Now he has no one but himself to blame for losing the job. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to have acted
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:他被认为做了愚蠢的事。现在对于失去工作这件事,他只能怪自己。由句意可知表示“被认为做某事”短语为be thought to do sth.,此处表示动作已完成,因此要用不定式的完成式。故填to have acted。
48. At last, we had a narrow escape, fortunately escaping __________(hurt) by the polar bear. (用所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】being hurt
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:最后,我们死里逃生,幸运地躲过了北极熊的伤害。分析句子可知,空处作escaping的宾语,应用动名词形式,且结合by the polar bear可知,hurt“使……受伤”和we逻辑上是被动的关系,因此应用动名词的被动语态,即being done的形式。故填being hurt。
49. ________(experience) quite a few earthquakes in Hawaii already, I didn’t take much notice. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】Having experienced
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:因为在夏威夷已经经历了不少地震,所以我并没有太在意。分析句子结构可知,此处应为非谓语动词作状语,experience与句子主语I之间为主动关系,结合句意可知,experience发生在谓语动词之前,所以此处应使用having experienced,且位于句首,having的首字母需大写。故填Having experienced。
50. The young man left that city, never ________ (hear) from again. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to be heard
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:那个年轻人离开了那个城市,从此杳无音信。句子谓语动词是left,hear用非谓语动词形式作状语,hear与其逻辑主语man之间是被动关系,表示意料之外的结果用不定式形式,填入动词不定式的被动式符合题意。故填to be heard。

【答案】postponed##ostponed
【解析】
【详解】考查动词。句意:由于天气不好,棒球比赛推迟到下星期举行。根据单词首字母以及句意“推迟”,可知应填动词postpon,此处与主语构成被动关系,结合上文was可知为一般过去时的被动语态。故填postponed。

【答案】permitted##ermitted
【解析】
【详解】考查动词。句意:大楼内不准吸烟。根据句意和所给首字母,应是permit意为“允许”,和主语Smoking之间是被动关系,用被动语态,空前已有be动词,所以空处填过去分词形式。故填permitted。
