This winter, Blossoms Shanghai (电视剧《繁花》) has been the talk of the city and beyond. Viewers (观众) all over China have been watching and talking about the TV series. Their strong interest has even brought many fans to the city. They come to walk down Huanghe Road, eat pork chops with rice cakes, and, of course, learn Shanghainese.
Blossoms Shanghai has two versions (版本). One is in Mandarin (普通话) and the other is in the Shanghai dialect. Many people like the dialect version better. They say it better shows the magic of the city’s culture.
Part of that magic lies in the culture’s openness. Do you know what “lao hu chuang” means Well, this phrase has nothing to do with “tigers”. It comes from the English term “roof window”. In the Shanghai dialect (方言), “tiger” sounds close to “roof”. Another example is “wo se”. It comes from the word “worse”. People use it to say that they feel sad. English surely isn’t the only influence (影响) on Shanghainese. The local languages of neighboring cities have had influence on it, too.
In most schools, students are told to speak only Mandarin to make communication easier. But many students continue speaking it after school. Over time, they forget their “native language”. I recently asked some of my young Shanghainese friends how to say “kitchen” in the Shanghai dialect. Most of them answered, “zi vang”. Few said, “zao pi ge” (灶披间) or “zao dou ge”.
Many people are now learning or relearning the Shanghai dialect from Blossoms Shanghai. Would you like to join them

35．主旨大意题。根据文中第三段“Do you know what ‘lao hu chuang’ means ... English surely isn’t the only influence (影响) on Shanghainese.”可知，第3段主要讲的是英语如何影响上海话的例子。故选C。

52．His mother lost her job, so she couldn’t (买得起) to buy a new bike for him.
【答案】afford
【详解】句意：他的母亲失去了她的工作。因此她无法买一辆新自行车给他。“买得起”要用动词“afford”来表达，“afford to do sth.”为固定结构，意为“负担得起做某事”，情态动词couldn’t后应接动词原形。故填afford。
53．Max sat on the bed, (tie) the laces (鞋带) of his running shoes.
【答案】tying
【详解】句意：马克斯坐在床上，系着他跑鞋的鞋带。tie“系”，是动词，主语Max与tie之间是主动关系，因此用现在分词作状语，故填tying。

Three years ago, Ma became popular online for a video. In the video, she performed martial arts with a sword after throwing rubbish into a waste bin!

Moreover, Ma works hard to promote traditional Chinese culture beyond just Emei martial arts. She mixes martial arts performances with traditional Chinese calligraphy（书法）, tea and the intangible cultural heritage items.

This winter, Blossoms Shanghai (电视剧《繁花》) has been the talk of the city and beyond. Viewers (观众) all over China have been watching and talking about the TV series. Their strong interest has even brought many fans to the city. They come to walk down Huanghe Road, eat pork chops with rice cakes, and, of course, learn Shanghainese.
Blossoms Shanghai has two versions (版本). One is in Mandarin (普通话) and the other is in the Shanghai dialect. Many people like the dialect version better. They say it better shows the magic of the city’s culture.
Part of that magic lies in the culture’s openness. Do you know what “lao hu chuang” means Well, this phrase has nothing to do with “tigers”. It comes from the English term “roof window”. In the Shanghai dialect (方言), “tiger” sounds close to “roof”. Another example is “wo se”. It comes from the word “worse”. People use it to say that they feel sad. English surely isn’t the only influence (影响) on Shanghainese. The local languages of neighboring cities have had influence on it, too.
In most schools, students are told to speak only Mandarin to make communication easier. But many students continue speaking it after school. Over time, they forget their “native language”. I recently asked some of my young Shanghainese friends how to say “kitchen” in the Shanghai dialect. Most of them answered, “zi vang”. Few said, “zao pi ge” (灶披间) or “zao dou ge”.
Many people are now learning or relearning the Shanghai dialect from Blossoms Shanghai. Would you like to join them
34．What don’t viewers do after watching Blossoms Shanghai according to the passage
A．Visit Shanghai. B．Learn Shanghainese.
C．Eat pork chops with rice cakes. D．Talk about the streets in Shanghai.

A．the magic of Shanghai dialect
B．Shanghai dialect about animals and English
C．examples about how English influences Shanghainese
D．how the local languages of neighboring cities influence Shanghainese
36．Which of the following is true according to this passage
A．Viewers are most interested in the food in the Blossoms Shanghai.
B．All students in Shanghai are told to speak only Mandarin at school.
C．Shanghainese have forgotten how to speak dialect these years.
D．Blossoms Shanghai in the Shanghai dialect is much more popular.
37．Which of the following may be the purpose (目的) of this passage
A．To attract more people to visit Shanghai.
B．To introduce the TV series called Blossoms Shanghai.
C．To ask people to speak only Mandarin at school.
D．To wish people to speak both dialect and Mandarin.
