Ⅳ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇议论文。文章通过供需法则引出生活方式和时尚趋势的变化,并以作者的个人经历为例,说明人们无需追求奢华生活或巨大成就即可获得幸福,强调平凡生活的意义。
1.B 段落大意题。根据第二段“In the 19th century, the primitive paintings of Picasso and Matisse shook up the positive image of the French bourgeoisie (中产阶级). In the 1970s, talented musicians with tailored costumes and egos were overshadowed by a band of punk rockers who sang about the cruel realities of ordinary life in poor urban areas.” (19世纪,毕加索和马蒂斯的原始绘画颠覆了法国中产阶级的正面形象。20世纪70年代,一群朋克摇滚歌手唱着贫穷城市地区普通生活的残酷现实,使那些穿着定制服装、自我意识强烈的才华横溢的音乐家相形见绌。)可知,本段通过毕加索和马蒂斯的原始绘画以及朋克摇滚乐队的例子,主要说明了新的艺术和音乐形式开始更多地关注现实。故选B项。
2.A 推理判断题。根据第四段中“What struck me was how plain these people appeared in real life despite their public characters. Like everyone else, they grappled with insecurities and mood swings, even though they were constantly under the spotlight.”(让我震惊的是,尽管这些人在公众面前有光鲜的形象,但他们在现实生活中却显得如此平凡。和其他人一样,他们也在与不安全感和情绪波动做斗争,尽管他们一直受到关注。)可知,作者认为政治名人就像普通人一样。故选A项。
3.A 词义猜测题。根据画线短语上文like everyone else和下文insecurities and mood swings可推知,政治名人和其他人一样,他们也会与不安全感和情绪波动做斗争。画线短语grappled with意思是“与……做斗争”,和struggled with意思相近。故选A项。
4.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Most of us end up being ordinary people without doing anything that changes the world, but that does not mean our lives are meaningless. In fact, it is precisely this realization that leads to sustainable happiness because, when all is said and done, no one’s lifestyle is essentially better than any other’s.”(我们大多数人最终都是普通人,没有做什么改变世界的大事,但这并不意味着我们的生活就没有意义。事实上,正是这种认识带来了持久的幸福,因为归根结底,没有谁的生活方式本质上比其他人的更好。)可知,作者想在最后一段暗示人们应该对自己的生活方式感到满足。故选C项。
Ⅴ.【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了云南沧源佤族自治县一年一度的“摸你黑狂欢节”。
1.blessing 考查名词。空格处应用名词,作表语,blessing意为“祝福”,为可数名词,不定冠词a后接可数名词单数。故填blessing。
2.entertaining 考查形容词。scene为名词,空格处应用形容词,作定语,scene指事物,应用entertaining,意为“令人愉快的”,形容词词性,修饰事物。故填entertaining。
3.held 考查非谓语动词。句中有系动词is且句中无连词,故空格处应用非谓语动词,Monihei Carnival和hold为逻辑上的动宾关系,故应用hold的过去分词held作后置定语。故填held。
4.pronunciation 考查名词。空处在冠词the后且作表语,应该用名词形式,且根据上下文语境可知,此处表示单数意义。故填pronunciation。
5.from 考查介词。句中涉及固定短语draw…from…,意为“以……为依据,从……中得到”。故填from。
6.which 考查定语从句。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为the colour black,指物,在从句中作主语,故应用关系代词which引导从句。故填which。
7.to avoid 考查非谓语动词。句中有谓语动词apply,故空格处应用非谓语动词,“避免厄运”是“佤族的参与者互相涂抹一种药物”的目的,故空格处应用不定式to avoid作目的状语。故填to avoid。
8.Celebrating 考查非谓语动词。句中有系动词is,故空格处应用非谓语动词,句中应用动名词作主语,表示经常性的动作,celebrate的动名词为celebrating,位于句首,单词首字母大写。故填Celebrating。
9.an 考查冠词。句中泛指一件有吸引力的事,故空格处应用不定冠词,表示泛指,attraction的发音以元音音素开头。故填an。
10.is called 考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。根据句意可知,句子陈述的是客观事实,it和call之间为被动关系,故句子应用一般现在时的被动语态,主语it表单数意义,be动词用is。故填is called。

The law of supply and demand determines that an overabundance of anything will lead to a decrease in price.This rule applies not only to goods and services, but also to lifestyle and fashion trends.
In the 19th century, the primitive paintings of Picasso and Matisse shook up the positive image of the French bourgeoisie (中产阶级). In the 1970s, talented musicians with tailored costumes and egos were overshadowed by a band of punk rockers who sang about the cruel realities of ordinary life in poor urban areas.
I predict that this will also happen with beauty standards. The idealized version of life portrayed in fashion magazines will reach a turning point, as people become tired of unattainable perfection.
During my time in Washington DC in the 1990s, I had the opportunity to interact with numerous political celebrities. While chatting with former presidents or bumping into TV pundits (专家) in elevators, I also assisted former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, who was my boss’ boss. What struck me was how plain these people appeared in real life despite their public characters. Like everyone else, they grappled with insecurities and mood swings, even though they were constantly under the spotlight.
Yes, it was great to drop names on the phone to my friends. My father, of course, couldn’t understand why I would ever want to leave there. “Because you’re not me and I’m not impressed,” I told him. We do not need to lead a luxurious life or make groundbreaking achievements to be content. Happiness can be found in living out the ordinary moments of an authentic life.
Most of us end up being ordinary people without doing anything that changes the world, but that does not mean our lives are meaningless. In fact, it is precisely this realization that leads to sustainable happiness because, when all is said and done, no one’s lifestyle is essentially better than any other’s.

A.People’s lifestyle was changed by French bourgeoisie.
B.New forms of art and music started to focus more on reality.

A.They are just like ordinary people.
B.They lack the ability to lead a normal life.
C.They are not as successful as they claim to be.
D.They are not as intelligent as they appear on TV.
( )3.Which can best replace the underlined phrase in Paragraph 4
A.Struggled with. B.Agreed with.
