[2020·河南省五校联考]There
are
dozens
of
movie
recommendation
engines
on
the
Web.
They're
all
different,
but
some
are
definitely
better
than
others.
Rotten
Tomatoes
Instead
of
telling
Rotten
Tomatoes
which
films
you
like,
you
can
tell
it
what
kind
of
films
you
enjoy,
which
actors
you
want
to
see,
and
other
standards
to
help
it
find
the
best
movie
for
you.
There's
a
lot
of
variability
in
the
quality
of
Rotten
Tomatoes
recommendations
but
it's
also
a
nice
way
to
find
the
right
film
for
any
mood.
Netflix
Netflix
asks
you
to
rate
(划分等级)
movies
to
determine
which
films
you'll
want
to
see
next.
And
although
it
does
make
it
easy
to
rate
movies
and
it
does
return
huge
lists,
the
ideas
it
gives
you
aren't
all
that
strong.
It's
easy
to
use,
but
it's
not
the
best
way
to
get
movie
recommendations.
Jinni
Whether
you
want
to
search
for
films
based
on
your
mood,
time
available,
or
reviews,
the
site
has
it
all.
But
Jinni's
most
amazing
feature
is
its
semantic
(语义的)
search.
You
can
enter
a
term
like
“films
that
show
Chris
Farley
yelling”
and
the
site
will
return
films
that
match
your
question.
Go
to
use
Jinni.
You
won't
regret
it!
Criticker
Instead
of
just
allowing
you
to
rank
films,
Criticker
compares
your
ratings
to
those
of
other
users
and
see
how
closely
your
tastes
match
those
of
other
users.
Once
the
service
finds
matches,
you
can
view
these
users'
lists
and
see
which
movies
they
like.
1．Which
one
does
the
author
recommend
most?
A．Rotten
Tomatoes.
B．Netflix.
C．Jinni.
D．Criticker.
2．What
makes
Criticker
special?
A．Comparing
users'
ratings.
B．Ranking
your
favourite
films.
C．Offering
different
standards.
D．Finding
films
based
on
mood.
3．What
is
the
purpose
of
the
text?
A．To
recommend
the
best
online
movies.
B．To
show
how
to
use
movie
search
engines.
C．To

[2020·江西临川一中等八校联考]When
Huang
Lizhi
took
her
first
class
in
African
sociology
at
the
University
of
the
Witwatersrand
in
South
Africa
in
February,
her
professor
asked
her
and
her
classmates
what
impresses
them
most
when
it
comes
to
Africa.
Unexpectedly,
Huang,
31,
found
that
words
like“poverty”
and
“safari”
—
negative
words
that
were
often
associated
with
the
continent
in
media
reports
—
were
the
kind
of
terms
her
African
classmates
didn't
want
to
hear.
Instead,
they
preferred
to
hear
the
question
answered
in
this
way:
“Africa
is
the
cradle
of
humankind”
and
“Africans
are
passionate
and
generous”．
Apparently,
there
are
some
misunderstandings
between
us.
It's
true
that
with
incidents
like
the
Ebola
outbreak
in
West
Africa
and
the
emergence
(出现)
of
pirates
off
the
coast
of
Somalia
hitting
the
news,
it's
easy
for
us
to
keep
forgetting
that
Africa
has
one
of
the
world's
oldest
civilizations
—
Egypt,
born
by
the
world's
longest
river,
the
Nile.
The
proof
is
in
the
Great
Pyramid
of
Giza
and
the
Great
Sphinx
of
Giza,
which
are
both
popular
among
tourists.
And
the
tombs
of
ancient
Egypt
have
also
become
endless
sources
for
the
literature
and
film
industries.
When
it
comes
to
the
natural
environment
of
Africa,
our
misunderstandings
are
only
bigger.
But
the
truth
is
that
instead
of
being
extremely
hot
all
year
round
and
covered
by
desert,
the
continent
has
large
areas
of
savannas
(稀树草原)
where
lions,
giraffes
and
zebras
live,
the
snow?capped
Kilimanjaro
—
the
highest
mountain
in
Africa
—
and
even
thick
forest
on
the
island
of
Madagascar.
These
misunderstandings
are
one
of
the
reasons
why
the
2018
Beijing
Summit
of
the
Forum
on
China?Africa
Cooperation
was
held
on
Sept.
3
and
4
—
to
understand
each
other
better.
Indeed,
only
by
visiting
Africa
herself
did
Huang
see
the
convenient
living
conditions,
the
amazing
natural
beauty
and
the
friendly
people.
In
her
eyes,
her
classmates
were
as
hopeful
about
the
future
of
their
own
countries
as
they
were
about
Africa
as
a
whole,
and
they
were
quick
to
demonstrate
both
their
strong
will
and
activity.“At
that
moment,
I
knew
exactly
what
they
wanted
—
they
wanted
their
culture
to
be
respected.”
4．Which
of
the
following
best
explains
“cradle”
underlined
in
Paragraph
2?
A．A
small
bed
for
babies.
B．A
basket
to
hold
something.
C．A
place
for
people
to
relax
themselves.
D．A
place
where
something
important
began.
5．What
can
we
infer
about
Africa
according
to
the
passage?
A．It
is
very
hot
all
year
round.
B．It's
not
a
safe
continent
to
live
on.
C．It's
different
from
what
we
imagine.
D．It
is
bound
to
have
a
bright
future.
6．Which
of
the
following
would
Huang
agree
with?
A．To

is
to
believe.
B．Think
twice
before
you
do.
C．A
miss
is
as
good
as

D．Don't

[2019·洛阳市第二次统考]There
is
more
of
a
connection
between
food
and
culture
than
you
may
think.
On
an
individual
level,
we
grow
up
eating
the
food
of
our
culture.
It
becomes
a
part
of
who
we
are.
Many
associate
food
from
our
childhood
with
warm
feelings
and
good
memories
and
it
ties
us
to
our
families,
holding
a
special
and
personal
value
for
us.
Food
from
our
family
often
becomes
the
comfort
food
we
seek
as
adults
in
times
of
frustration
and
stress.
On
a
large
scale,
traditional
food
is
an
important
part
of
culture.
It
also
operates
as
an
expression
of
culture
identity.
Immigrants
bring
it
wherever
they
go,
and
it
is
a
symbol
of
pride
for
their
culture
and
means
of
coping
with
homesickness.
Many
immigrants
open
their
own
restaurants
and
serve
traditional
dishes.
However,
the
food
does
not
remain
exactly
the
same.
Some
materials
needed
to
make
traditional
dishes
may
not
be
readily
available,
so
the
taste
and
flavor
can
be
different
from
what
they
would
prepare
in
their
home
countries.
Additionally,
immigrants
do
not
only
sell
dishes
to
people
from
the
same
countries
as
them,
but
to
people
from
different
countries.
Therefore,
they
have
to
make
small
changes
about
the
original
dishes
to
cater
to
a
wider
range
of
customers.
Those
changes
can
create
new
flavors
that
still
keep
the
cultural
significance
of
the
dishes.
We
should
embrace
our
heritage
(传统)
through
our
culture's
food
but
also
become
more
informed
about
other
cultures
by
trying
their
food.
It
is
important
to
remember
that
each
dish
has
a
special
place
in
the
culture
to
which
it
belongs,
and
is
special
to
those
who
prepare
it.
Food
is
a
window
into
culture,
and
it
should
be
treated
as
such.
8．What's
the
fun_ction
of
food
mentioned
in
the
text?
A．To
help
motivate
homesickness.
B．To
show
national
identity.
C．To
reflect
a
country's
history.
D．To
show
a
community's
superiority.
9．What
does
the
underlined
“it”
in
Paragraph
2
refer
to?
A．The
specific
traditional
food.
B．The
national
culture.
C．A
traditional
expression
of
food.
D．The
old?fashioned
taste.
10．Why
do
some
immigrants
have
to
change
the
original
dishes
in
their
restaurant?
A．To
attach
cultural
importance
to
their
dishes.
B．To
announce
the
beginning
of
their
life
on
foreign
soil.
C．To
make
the
dishes
popular
among
customers.
D．To
present
their
own
food
culture
in
a
new
way.
11．What's
the
author's
attitude
towards
different
food
cultures?
A．Negative.
B．Balanced.
C．Unfair.
D．Unchangeable.

[2020·黑龙江省质量检测]“If
you
are
cold,
it
will
warm
you;
if
you
are
too

it
will
cool
you;
if
you
are
depressed,
it
will
cheer

if
you
are

it

The
poem
best
identifies
the
passion
for
tea
in
Britain.
Outside
of
the
United
Kingdom,
many
people
refer
to
afternoon
tea
as
“high
tea”.
Afternoon
tea,
also
known
as
low
tea,
is
what
most
people
think
of
when
they
hear
“high
tea”.
It
involves
things
like
manners,
lace
(蕾丝)
and
light
meals
such
as
cookies
and
finger
sandwiches.
It
is
typically
served
in
the
mid?afternoon
and
it
was
traditionally
served
on
low
tables,
hence
its
two
names.
Legend
has
it
that
afternoon
tea
was
started
in
the
mid?1800s
by
the
Duchess
of
Bedford.
Around
that
time,
kerosene
(煤油)
lamps
were
introduced
into
wealthier
homes
and
eating
a
late
dinner
(around
8
or
9
p．m.)
became
fashionable.
This
increasingly
late
dinner
was
one
of
the
only
two
meals
each
day,
and
the
other
was
a
mid?morning
one.
The
story
goes
that
the
Duchess
found
herself
with
a
“sinking
feeling”.
This
came
from
hunger
during
the
long
wait
between
meals.
She
decided
to
invite
friends
over
for
various
snacks
and
tea.
The
idea
of
an
afternoon
tea
gathering
spread
across
high
society
and
became
a
favorite
pastime
of
females
for
leisure.
Later,
it
spread
to
other
social
groups.
However,
the
British
working
population
did
not
have
afternoon
tea.
They
had
a
meal
about
midday,
and
a
meal
after
work,
between
five
and
seven
o'clock.
This
meal
was
called“high
tea”
or
just
“tea”.
Traditionally
eaten
early
evening,
high
tea
was
a
substantial
meal
that
combined
delicious
sweet
food,
such
as
cookies,
cakes
or
tea
bread,
with
heavy
food,
such
as
cheese
on
toast,
cold
meats
and
poached
eggs
on
toast.
This
meal
is
now
often
replaced
with
a
supper
due
to
people
eating
their
main
meal
in
the
evening
rather
than
at
midday.
12．What
is
the
author's
purpose

a

at

A．To

a

C．To

D．To

his
writing
purpose.
13．What
led
to
the
appearance
of
afternoon
tea?
A．Kerosene
lamps
were
used
at
home.
B．Upper

free
time.
C．Drinking
tea
makes
people
feel

D．Duchess
of

[2020·贵州适应性考试]The
small
habits
really
damage
the
wallet.
So
here's
how
you
could
be
$500
richer
or
more
every
month!
●Make
your
own
coffee
Think
about
how
much
you
pay
for
that
fancy
latte
(拿铁咖啡)
with
special
milk
each
morning.
__1__.
“When
you
see
these
numbers
showing
the
‘latte
effect’
over
a
lifetime,
you
may
be
more
inspired
to
make
your
own，”
says
Vera
Gibbons,
a
personal
finance
expert.
You
can
save
$100
to
$150
every
month.
●Bring
breakfast
and
lunch
to
work
__2__.
Therefore,
purchasing
breakfast
and
lunch
during
the
week
seems
like
an
easy
option
yet
expensive
one.
Natasha
Smith,
a
personal
finance
expert,
says
one
certain
way
to
save
money
is
to
prepare
your
meals.
“Start
by
packing
a
lunch
every
day
instead
of
eating
out
to
save
$30
to
$50
a
week.”
You
can
save
$120
to
$200
per
month.
●
__3__.
“Eating
in
weekly
instead
of
going
out
can
save
$20
per
person
per
meal,
or
more
than
$250
over
a
couple
of
months，”says
Len
Hayduchok,
a
financial
planner.
If
you
meet
up
with
four
friends
twice
a
month,
that's
about
$100
once
right
there,
not
including
drinks.
__4__.
●Make
your
home
more
energy?efficient
Not
only
will
using
less
gas
and
electricity
save
money
on
your
bills,
it's
good
for
the
environment,
too,
says
Tracy.
__5__.
Removing
devices
when
they're
not
in
use
and
turning
off
lights
are
very
useful.
You
can
save
$70
each
month.
●Grow
your
own
vegetables
Grow
yourself
your
own
little
garden
and
save
money,
while
also
eating
healthier.“The
more
you
grow,
the
more
you
save，”
says
Hayduchok.
He
recommends
planting
a
small
piece
of
land
in
your
yard
or
sunny
spot
in
your
home.
A．Eat
more
healthily

课时作业12
课时练(一)
阅读理解
第一节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了四个较好的电影推荐引擎。
1．D 考查推理判断。根据最后一段“Instead
of
just
allowing
you
to
rank
films,
Criticker
compares
your
ratings
to
those
of
other
users
and
see
how
closely
your
tastes
match
those
of
other
users.
Once
the
service
finds
matches,
you
can
view
these
users'
lists
and
see
which
movies
they
like”可知，Criticker不是仅允许你对电影进行排名，还将你的评分与其他用户的评分进行比较，看看你的品位与其他用户的品位的匹配程度；一旦该网站的服务系统找到与你的品位相匹配的用户，你可以查看这些用户的列表，并查看他们喜欢的电影。据此可以推判，作者最推荐的是Criticker，故D项正确。
2．A 考查细节理解。根据最后一段第一句“Instead
of
just
allowing
you
to
rank
films,
Criticker
compares
your
ratings
to
those
of
other
users
and
see
how
closely
your
tastes
match
those
of
other
users”可知，Criticker不是仅允许你对电影进行排名，还将你的评分与其他用户的评分进行比较，看看你的品位与其他用户的品位的匹配程度。据此可知，Criticker的特别之处在于它能比较用户的评分，故A项正确。
3．C 考查主旨大意。通读全文内容，并根据文章第一段“There
are
dozens
of
movie
recommendation
engines
on
the
Web.
They're
all
different,
but
some
are
definitely
better
than
others”可知，本文主要介绍了四个较好的电影推荐引擎，故C项正确。
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，讲述了一堂非洲社会学课引出了一部分人对非洲的误解，而主人公经过实地考察后消除了之前对非洲地理文化的误解。
4．D 考查词义猜测。根据下段提到的非洲拥有人类最古老的文明之一——埃及文明以及常识可知，此处表示非洲是人类的摇篮。cradle意为“摇篮”，且结合选项可知，此处cradle引申为“重要事物的发源地”，故选D项。
5．C 考查推理判断。根据第四段中的“When
it
comes
to
the
natural
environment
of
Africa,
our
misunderstandings
are
only
bigger.
But
the
truth
is
that...”可知，当提及非洲时，我们对它的误解很大。而第四段中也列举了非洲与我们想象中的不同之处。由此可知，我们对非洲有误解，真实的情况和我们想象中的有所不同，故选C项。
6．A 考查推理判断。根据第五段的内容尤其本段第一句可知，本文的主人公亲自游览非洲后，才对非洲有了真正的了解。由此可知，她会同意“眼见为实”这一观点，故选A项。
7．B 考查主旨大意。综观全文可知，本文主人公之前对非洲有很多误解，但亲自游览非洲后，才对非洲有了正确且深入的了解，消除了之前对非洲的误解。B项最能总结本篇文章的主题，适合作本文的标题，故选B项。
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文，主要探讨了食物和文化之间的联系。
8．B 考查细节理解。根据第一段第二、三句“On
an
individual
level,
we
grow
up
eating
the
food
of
our
culture.
It
becomes
a
part
of
who
we
are”，再根据第二段的第二句“It
also
operates
as
an
expression
of
culture
identity”可知，文章中提到的食物的作用是显示国家身份，故选B项。
9．A 考查词义猜测。通读第二段可知，传统食物是文化的一个重要部分，它显示了文化身份，移民不管去哪儿都带着它，它象征着对自己文化的骄傲，也是排解乡愁的方法。由此可推知，it指代传统食物，故选A项。
10．C 考查细节理解。根据第三段的第四、五句“Additionally,
immigrants
do
not
only
sell
dishes
to
people
from
the
same
countries
as
them,
but
to
people
from
different
countries.
Therefore,
they
have
to
make
small
changes
about
the
original
dishes
to
cater
to
a
wider
range
of
customers”可知，移民不仅把菜肴卖给来自相同国家的人，而且卖给不同国家的人。为了使菜肴受到顾客的欢迎，一些移民不得不改变传统的菜肴，故选C项。
11．B 考查观点态度。根据最后一段的第一句“We
should
embrace
our
heritage
(传统)
through
our
culture's
food
but
also
become
more
informed
about
other
cultures
by
trying
their
food”可知，我们应该通过我们文化的食物来接受我们的传统，但也应该通过尝试其他文化的食物来了解更多文化。由此可推知，作者对不同的食物文化持客观公正的态度，故选B项。
【语篇解读】 本文用一首诗歌引出话题，然后通过传说介绍了英国下午茶的来历。比较正式的下午茶除了有许多好吃的东西之外，在礼节和服饰方面也有一定的风俗习惯。
12．A 考查推理判断。本文作者在开头引用了一首诗歌，联系诗歌后面的“The
poem
best
identifies
the
passion
for
tea
in
Britain.”及下文的介绍可以推知，引用诗歌的目的是为了引出本文话题。故选A项。
13．A 考查细节理解。根据第二段第二句“Around
that
time,
kerosene
lamps
were
introduced
into
wealthier
homes
and
eating
a
late
dinner
(around
8
or
9
p．m.)
became
fashionable.”及下文内容可知，煤油灯的使用使人们的晚饭用餐时间更晚，因此人们开始在下午享用下午茶，即煤油灯的使用导致了下午茶的产生。故选A项。
14．B 考查细节理解。根据第二段最后的“The
idea
of
an
afternoon
tea
gathering
spread
across
high
society
and
became
a
favorite
pastime
of
females
for
leisure.”可知，那时候女士们在闲暇时间通过下午茶消磨时间，是其最重要的一个特征。故选B项。
15．D 考查主旨大意。本文主要介绍了英国下午茶的起源和发展，包括礼节、服装和食品，不同起源的下午茶被称为“high
tea”或者“low
tea”，故D项为最佳答案。
第二节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。在日常生活中，通过自己动手制作咖啡、自带食物上班、自己栽种蔬菜等方式，可以节省部分开支。
1．F 根据空前“Think
about
how
much
you
pay
for
that
fancy
latte
(拿铁咖啡)
with
special
milk
each
morning”可知，每日买一杯拿铁咖啡，可能要花一笔钱，但是我们可以自己制作拿铁咖啡，达到省钱的目的，故选F项。
2．C 根据该段小标题“Bring
breakfast
and
lunch
to
work”以及空后的Therefore及语境可知，之所以购买早餐与午餐，是因为早上时间比较紧，没法自己准备，故选C项。
3．E 根据文章结构和空处所处位置可知，空处为本段的小标题。根据该段的内容，尤其是“If
you
meet
up
with
four
friends
twice
a
month”可知，该部分讲述的是可以邀请朋友在家里吃饭，而不是外出就餐，故选E项。
4．D 根据该段内容可知，该段主要讲在家吃饭比外出吃饭要省钱；又根据本段最后一句中的“twice
a
month,
that's
about
$100
once
right
there,
not
including
drinks”可知，D项符合语境。
5．G 该空前一句讲的是节能的好处，空后讲的是具体在哪些方面可以节能省钱，故G项承上启下，符合语境。
课时练(二)
语言知识运用
第一节
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文，主要介绍了结婚戒指戴在左手无名指上这一做法的起源。
【熟词生义】 adopt常用义：v.采用；领养 本句义：v.承袭(风俗)
例句：Immigrants
tend
to
adopt
the
customs
and
practices
of
the
host
society
gradually.移民往往会逐渐承袭移居国家的风俗习惯。
slip常用义：v.滑倒；溜 本句义：v.迅速放置
例句：The
shy
kid
slipped
his
hand
into
his
mother's.这个害羞的孩子悄悄把手伸过去，让他妈妈握住。
1．D 上文提到“多年来，夫妇们都是把象征爱情的戒指戴在左手无名指上，虽然其他任何手指也可以履行这一职责。难道是因为左手是更好的那只手吗？”，根据下文内容可知，此处应表示“历史上可不是这样说的”。故用Not。
2．A 在中世纪，被发现用左手写字会面临行为失常的“指控(accusations)”。debate“辩论，争论”；discrimination“区别，辨别”；anxiety“忧虑”。
3．C 在西班牙，惯用左手的人甚至很可能受到“严惩(punishment)”。句中的even暗示此处应比前一种情况更严重。blame“责备”；hate“厌恶”；disapproval“不赞成”。
4．C 根据下文所举的两个例子可知，古人对左手的厌恶涉及多国“文化(cultures)”。
5．B 在古代日本，不使用右手的妻子预计要当场被合法地判离婚。expectation“预料，预期，期待”，符合语境。concept“概念”；struggle“斗争，努力”；opinion“意见，看法”。
6．A 参见上题解析。legally“法律上，合法地”；wisely“明智地”；privately“私下地”；probably“很可能”。
7．D 那么我们为什么赞成(favor)左手的一根手指来象征永恒的爱呢？justify“证明……有道理”；arrange“安排”；reward“奖赏”。
8．A 根据下文的内容可知，此处表示“过去的看法也不全都是不好的”。故选belief“看法，信念”。
9．C “婚姻(marriage)”和现行的戒指佩戴位置的结合可以追溯到2世纪的埃及人身上。
10．B 参见上题解析。trace...
back
to...“追溯……到……”。
11．D 当时埃及人误以为“某个最脆弱的神经”从左手第四根手指开始，一直延伸到心脏。下文中的“in
__13__
of
a
nerve”是提示。
12．C 几世纪后，罗马人也得出了“相似的(similar)”结论，但是罗马人认为把左手无名指和输送血液的器官连接起来的不是神经，而是“爱人的静脉”。contrary“相反的”；accurate“准确的”；mistaken“错误的”。
13．A 参见上题解析。in
place
of“代替”；in
consequence
of“由于”；in
view
of“鉴于”；in
advance
of“在……前，预先”。
14．D 此处表示“输送血液的器官”，即上文提到的“the
heart”，故用pump表示“用泵(或泵样器官等)输送”。purify“净化”；produce“制造”；absorb“吸收”。
15．B 根据前面的“rich”可知，此处应是表示“买得起戒指的富人”，故用afford。
16．B 现代社会可能从罗马人那里“承袭(adopted)”了这种风俗。
17．A 一直到17世纪，欧洲夫妇“通常(normally)”都将戒指戴在右手上。ridiculously“荒谬地”；politely“有礼貌地”；romantically“浪漫地”。
18．B 此处应用break和下文的abandon呼应，指的是“打破传统”。
19．C 这本书指导夫妇们抛弃这种悠久的做法(practice)，鼓励他们把结婚戒指戴在左手无名指上。
20．D 不久，全欧洲的夫妇们都仿效了这种做法。follow
suit“仿效”，符合语境。take
the
lead“起带头作用”；cut
a
deal“达成协议”；pour
into“涌入”。
第二节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了剪纸的意义。
1．and 考查连词。between...
and...是固定搭配，意为“在……和……之间”，符合语境，故填and。
2．traditional 考查形容词。修饰名词一般用形容词，所以用形容词traditional修饰名词festival，在句子中作定语，故填traditional。
3．to
commemorate 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处是不定式作目的状语，故填to
commemorate。
4．are 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。此处为一般性描述，应用一般现在时；分析句子结构可知，
make和主语those构成被动关系，应用被动语态，即be＋done的形式，且主语为复数，故填are。
5．characters 考查名词。character是可数名词，根据空后的“such
as
princesses”可知，此处表示复数概念，故填characters。
6．telling 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，该句主语“Hans
Christian
Andersen”和动词tell之间构成逻辑上的主谓关系，故用tell的现在分词形式，填telling。
7．Though/While/Although 考查连词。分析句子结构并结合语境可知，前后句表示逻辑上的让步关系，故填Though/While/Although，意为“尽管”。
8．an 考查冠词。“art
teacher”是可数名词，第一次在语境中出现，是Yang
Huizi的同位语，故用不定冠词修饰，且art的发音以元音音素开头，故填an。
9．has
studied 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据时间状语“for
over
a
decade”可知，本句用现在完成时，且主语为第三人称单数，故填has
studied。
10．that/which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词“nonprofit
paper
cutting
activities”，在从句中作主语，故用that/which来引导该定语从句，故填that/which。

①for改为of be
of＋名词＝be＋形容词，故把for改为of。
②walking改为walk 分析句子结构可知，此处是祈使句，动词原形放前面，句子主语you被省略。
③happy改为happily 修饰动词一般用副词，故用happily，修饰动词find，在句子中作状语。
④warm?heart改为warm?hearted 修饰名词一般用形容词，故用形容词warm?hearted修饰名词person，在句子中作定语。warm?hearted“友好的”。
⑤other改为other's company在本句中是名词，意为“陪伴”，此处表示“渐渐的，你会享受彼此的陪伴”，故把other改为other's。
⑥删除to had
better
do
sth.“最好做某事”后跟动词原形。
⑦kind改为kinds 根据其前的“different”和其后的“activities”可知，此处表示“不同种类的活动”，为复数概念，故用名词复数形式。
⑧which前加in或which改为where 分析句子结构可知，此处引导非限制性定语从句，在从句中作地点状语，修饰先行词activities。故用in
which或where引导该定语从句。
⑨would改为will 分析句子结构可知，此处是“祈使句＋连词＋主语＋will＋do”结构，由此可知，应用一般将来时，故would应改为will。
⑩big前加a 根据语境可知，此处表示你将发现交到一些朋友没有什么大不了的，故应用“it
isn't
a
big
deal”表示。
