The
Value
of
Money
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Mr
Guo
is
a
teacher
from
Xi'an.
He
asked
his
students
to
hand
in
their
homework
through
a
QR
code
(二维码).
“We
spent
an
hour
or
two
in
class
learning
how
to
generate
(使产生)
the
codes,
and
in
the
end
everything
gets
easier.”
said
Guo,
“When
students
finish
the
homework,
they
keep
it
on
WeChat.
Then,
each
student
makes
his
own
QR
code
and
gives
it
to
me.
So
I
can
check
their
work
anywhere
using
my
computer
or
telephone.”
The
QR
codes
can
be
sent
to
Mr
Guo
by
email,
QQ
and
WeChat.
When
Guo
scans
his
students'
QR
codes,
their
homework
appears
on
his
phone.
He
finds
that
their
homework
becomes
more
creative,
with
many
pictures,
music
and
even
videos.
Guo's
students
like
the
new
way
and
think
it
is
interesting.
“We
are
living
in
the
information
age.
Many
students
like
to
work
with
computers,
which
makes
learning
more
fun.”
said
Tingting,
a
student
of
Guo's.
“The
paper
is
not
easy
to
keep,
but
the
code
is
easy
to
keep
and
share.”
Guo
said,
“It
is
worth
trying
to
use
new
technology
in
education.
Education
itself
is
a
kind
of
creation.
I
don't
want
my
students
to
fall
behind
the
times.”
However,
some
parents
are
worried.
They
are
afraid
that
their
children
will
spend
too
much
time
surfing
the
Internet
and
less
time
communicating
with
teachers.
But
in
fact,
it's
unnecessary.
Students
still
need
to
look
up
information
in
books
and
write
it
down
when
they
do
their
homework.
They
only
use
the
codes
when
they
hand
in
their
work,
which
doesn't
take
them
too
much
time.
Also
for
teachers,
it
allows
them
to
check
the
students'
work
at
any
time.
And
it's
also
an
easy
way
to
share
homework
with
other
students.
这是一篇说明文。一位西安的老师想出了让学生以一种新的方式来交作业，那就是通过二维码来交作业。他同时也发现采用这种方式后，学生们的作业变得更有创造力，有很多图片、音乐甚至视频。然而，一些家长很担心。他们担心他们的孩子会花太多的时间上网，与老师交流的时间会减少。而作者认为这种新的方式对老师和学生都是有益的。

How
to
Master
Your
Public
Speaking
Voice
Public
speaking
skills
can
be
a
disaster
if
you
don't
know
how
to
use
your
voice.
However,
a
little
bit
of
practice
and
a
confident
outlook
can
help
you
to
be
a
fantastic
public
speaker.
__1__.
Learn
the
sound
of
your
own
voice
Record
yourself
as
often
as
possible—speaking
your
thoughts
aloud,
having
conversations
with
friends,
giving
a
presentation
at
work,
etc.
so
you
can
hear
what
your
voice
sounds
like
when
you
are
relaxed,
having
fun,
and
in
stressful
situations.
__2__.
Master
your
breathing
The
first
step
in
developing
a
strong
public
speaking
voice
is
mastering
your
breathing.
__3__，
which
causes
their
voices
to
sound
high
and
weak.
Develop
a
habit
of
breathing
deeply
at
a
controlled
pace
throughout
the
day
so
that
when
it
comes
to
your
time
to
speak,
you'll
have
less
trouble
doing
it.
__4__
It's
not
just
your
breathing
and
vocal
cords
(声带)
that
have
a
physical
vocal
on
your
voice.
When
it
comes
to
public
speaking,
it
is
essential
that
you
stand
or
sit
with
your
back
straight.
This
makes
your
voice
stronger
and
clearer
by
allowing
you
to
breathe
deeper.
It
also
has
the
added
benefit
of
making
you
look
more
confident.
Adjust
your
speaking
rate
Speaking
too
slow
can
cause
people
to
get
bored
while
speaking
too
fast
can
be
hard
to
follow.
__5__.
The
best
speaking
rate
is
in
the
range
of
120—160
words
per
minute.
Practice
to
control
your
time.
A．Stand
ready
to
speak
B．Neither
way
is
appropriate
C．Use
your
vocal
cords
to
pronounce
D．It
is
a
great
way
to
help
you
speak
under
pressure
E．It
helps
to
improve
your
speaking
on
specific
areas
F．Many
people
make
the
mistake
of
not
breathing
deeply
enough
G．You
can
improve
your
public
speaking
voice
through
some
ways
这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了四种提高公众演讲的声音的方法。
1．G 解析：根据上文However,
a
little
bit
of
practice
and
a
confident
outlook
can
help
you
to
be
a
fantastic
public
speaker.(然而，一点点的练习和自信的态度可以帮助你成为一个出色的演说家。)以及下文主要介绍了提高你的公众演讲的声音的方法，可知G选项：你可以通过一些方法来提高你的公众演讲的声音。符合题意。故选G。
2．E 解析：根据上文so
you
can
hear
what
your
voice
sounds
like
when
you
are
relaxed,
having
fun,
and
in
stressful
situations.(这样你就能听到自己在放松、开心和压力下的声音。)可知下文解释这样做的原因是：它有助于提高你在特定领域的演讲能力。故选E。
3．F 解析：根据上文The
first
step
in
developing
a
strong
public
speaking
voice
is
mastering
your
breathing.(培养一个强大的公众演讲声音的第一步是控制你的呼吸。)可知下文是要强调呼吸的重要性，故F选项：很多人都犯了呼吸不够深的错误。故选F。
4．A 解析：根据下文When
it
comes
to
public
speaking,
it
is
essential
that
you
stand
or
sit
with
your
back
straight.(在公众演讲时，挺直腰板站着或坐着是很重要的。)可知本段讲述的站姿的重要性，故A选项适合做本段小标题。
5．B 解析：根据上文Speaking
too
slow
can
cause
people
to
get
bored
while
speaking
too
fast
can
be
hard
to

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
It
was
a
Saturday
afternoon.
The
color
of
the
sky
was
changing,
first
light
gray,
then
dark
gray,
and
finally
dark
and
dense.
The
wind
was
blowing
heavily,
and
the
trees
were
swaying
in
the
strong
wind.
It
began
to
rain
cats
and
dogs.
Soon,
the
road
was
filled
with
puddles
from
the
rain.
On
such
a
stormy
afternoon,
my
mother
took
my
five?year?old
brother,
Christopher,
and
me
to
a
new
big
toy
store
she
had
read
about
in
the
newspaper.
“So
many
toys，”
the
advertisement
had
shouted
in
full
and
flashy
color,
“that
we
had
to
get
a
huge
warehouse
to
fit
them
all！”
Christopher
and
I
couldn't
have
been
more
excited.
We
ran
across
the
parking
lot,
through
the
cold
and
biting
rain,
as
fast
as
our
little
legs
could
carry
us.
We
left
our
mother
outside
to
battle
with
the
frustrating
umbrella,
which
never
worked
when
she
wanted
it
to.
“Christine!
Take
care
of
your
young
brother！”
Mother
shouted
at
the
top
of
her
voice.
“Christine!
I'm
going
to
find
the
Lego
section
(乐高积木区)!
There's
a
new
pirate
ship
I
want,
and
I
have
four
dollars!
Maybe
I
can
buy
it！”
Christopher
exclaimed
and
ran
off
excitedly.
I
only
half
heard
him.
I
took
a
right
turn
and,
to
my
wide?eyed
delight,
found
myself
in
the
midst
of
the
Barbie
(芭比)
World.
I
was
studying
a
Barbie
and
doing
some
simple
math
in
my
head
when
suddenly
an
earthshaking
clap
of
thunder
roared
from
the
storm
outside.
I
jumped
at
the
noise,
dropping
the
doll
to
the
floor.
The
lights
flickered
(闪烁)
once
and
died,
covering
everything
in
a
blanket
of
blackness.
Thunder
continued
to
shake
the
sky
and
lightning
illuminated
the
store
for
seconds,
casting
frightening
shadows
on
my
mind.
答案
Paragraph
1：
“Oh
no，”
I
thought,
“Where's
Christopher？”
Scared,
I
was
frozen
to
the
spot,
overcome
with
the
need
to
see
my
brother,
to
hug
and
make
certain
he
was
all
right.
My
stomach
twisted
and
turned
inside.
I
ran
up
and
down
the
aisles
through
the
darkness,
panic
filling
my
small
chest
and
making
it
difficult
to
breathe.
I
knocked
into
displays
of
candy
and
tripped
over
toys,
all
the
while
frantically
calling
my
brother's
name.
Anxious
as
I
was,
I
could
barely
see
his
figure.
Tears
of
frustration
and
fear
trickled
down
my
face,
but
I
continued
to
run.
Paragraph
2：
“Christine,
I'm
here.”
Excitement
took
my
breath
away—there
in
the
dark
Lego
aisle
I
found
Christopher.
He
was
standing
alone,
perfectly
still,
clutching
tightly
to
the
pirate
ship
set.
I
began
to
cry
out
from
relief,
throwing
my
arms
around
him
and
hugged
him
tightly.
He
hugged
me
back,
saying，“I
knew
if
I
waited
here,
Christine,
you
would
be
able
to
find
me.”
Then,
I
took
his
hand
in
mine
and
we
went
to
find
our
mother,
who
must
be
desperately
searching
the
store
for
us.Unit

The
Value
of
Money
Ⅰ.阅读理解
There
is
some
unwelcome
news
for
students
preparing
for
exams
and
officers
putting
in
long
hours—you
don't
need
that
“refreshment
(提神)
break”
as
much
as
you
may
think.
Scientists
believed
it
was
not
easy
for
people
to
continue
their
work
if
they
felt
the
need
to
have
a
snack
or
a
rest
to
make
them
feel
better.
They
argued
that
the
only
way
to
regain
willpower
is
by
supplying
more
energy
to
our
bodies
with
rest,
food
or
entertainment.
But
psychologists
have
challenged
this
theory,
saying
weak
willpower
is
in
your
head.
They
found
that
a
person's
mindset
(理念)
and
belief
in
willpower
determine
how
long
and
how
well
they'll
be
able
to
work
on
a
tough
mental
exercise.
“If
you
think
of
willpower
as
something
that's
limited,
you're
more
likely
to
be
tired
when
you
perform
a
difficult
task，”
said
Professor
Veronika
Job.
“But
if
you
think
of
willpower
as
something
that
is
not
easily
depleted,
you
can
go
on
and
on.”
The
researchers
led
by
Mr
Job
designed
an
experiment
to
test
the
students'
beliefs
about
willpower.
After
a
tiring
task
those
who
believed
or
were
led
to
believe
that
willpower
was
a
limited
resource
performed
worse
on
standard
concentration
tests
than
those
who
thought
of
willpower
as
something
they
had
more
control
over.
Mr
Job
said,
“Students
who
may
already
have
trouble
studying
are
being
told
that
their
powers
of
concentration
are
limited,
and
they
need
to
take
frequent
breaks.
But
a
belief
in
willpower
as
a
non?limited
resource
makes
people
stronger
in
their
ability
to
work
through
challenges.”
The
findings
could
help
people
who
are
battling
with
temptation(诱惑):
people
following
strict
diets
and
doing
exercise
regularly
to
lose
weight,
people
trying
to
overcome
addictions,
employees
facing
a
tough
task.
Willpower
isn't
driven
by
a
biologically
based
process
as
much
as
we
used
to
think.
本文是一篇说明文。以前人们认为意志力的来源是有限的，心理学家对意志力有了新的理论，认为意志力存在人脑中，对我们的行为能够产生很大的影响。
1．What
opinion
did
scientists
have
in
the
past?
A．Willpower
was
a
limited
resource.
B．It
was
hard
to
regain
willpower.
C．Hardworking
people
seldom
took
breaks.
D．People
could
easily
feel
tired
when
working.
答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“They
argued
that
the
only
way
to
regain
willpower
is
by
supplying
more
energy
to
our
bodies
with
rest,
food
or
entertainment.”可知他们认为长时间工作后需要休息，食物和娱乐活动来重新获得意志力，所以他们认为意志力是有限的。故A项正确。
2．Which
of
the
following
can
replace
the
underlined
word
“depleted”
in
Paragraph
3?
A．Given
up.
B．Recovered.
C．Used
up.
D．Changed.
答案：C
解析：词义猜测题。根据前句“If
you
think
of
willpower
as
something
that's
limited,
you're
more
likely
to
be
tired
when
you
perform
a
difficult
task”可知如果你认为意志力是有限的东西，在执行困难的任务时，你更可能会疲惫；本句中的But是关键词，说明与上句形成转折，所以此处是指如果你认为意志力很难被耗尽，那么你就可以坚持下去。故C项正确。
3．The
following
groups
can
benefit
from
the
findings
except
.
A．patients
following
strict
diets
B．children
liking
to
watch
TV
C．smokers
trying
to
give
up
smoking
D．employees
facing
a
new
but
well?paid
task
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“The
findings
could
help
people
who
are...facing
a
tough
task.”可知选D。
4．Why
does
the
author
write
the
text?
A．To
explain
the
power
of
willpower.
B．To
show
us
how
to
build
willpower.
C．To
tell
us
the
ways
of
gaining
willpower.
D．To
introduce
a
new
theory
on
willpower.
答案：D
解析：写作意图题。作者在第二段里介绍了以前人们对意志力的看法，第三段第一句“But
psychologists
have
challenged
this
theory,
saying
weak
willpower
is
in
your
head.”告诉我们心理学家有了新的观点，下文主要介绍了关于意志力的新的发现。所以本文介绍了关于意志力的一种新的理论。故D项正确。
Ⅱ.完形填空
The
day
I
received
my
letter
of
acceptance
to
New
York
University,
I
was
extremely
excited.
And
my
1
were
pleased
for
me.
But
they
also
hadn't
2
me
to
get
into
such
a
competitive
school.
In
fact,
the
best
thing
they
ever
did
for
me
was
to
3
me
from
doing
things
perfectly—indeed,
they
offered
to
buy
me
a
present
4
I
got
a
C
in
elementary
school.
It
5
when
I
was
in
the
third
grade.
An
only
child
in
an
Asian
family,
I
had
just
6
with
my
family
from
Taiwan
to
Los
Angeles.
Months
into
the
third
grade,
I
developed
a
strong
feeling
of
7
about
getting
bad
grades.
Seeing
my
anxiety,
Dad
said,
“Kate,
tell
you
what.
If
you
get
a
C
or
8
，
I'll
buy
you
a
present.
If
you
score
higher
than
that,
I
won't
buy
you
anything，because
you
won't
9
it.”
Clearly
my
dad
and
mom
weren't
the
10
Asian
tiger
parents,
They
didn't
want
to
push
me.
They
wanted
me
to
be
happy
and
healthy.
Dad's
offer
of
a
“failing
grade”
gift
amazingly
11
my
worries
and
pressure.What's
more,
I
12
getting
A's
and
B'
s
throughout
high
school.
It
was
my
parents'
lack
of
stress
on
grades
that
gave
me
13
to
encourage
my
own
desire
for
achievements.
I
now
realize
I
was
14
when
I
thought
I
didn't
receive
a
present
from
my
dad
that
day.
He
gave
me
two
invaluable
15
：
the
space
to
develop
my
own
desire
for
excellence
，and
the
healthy
mind
to
achieve
it.
本文为记叙文。作者的父母不像那种典型的亚裔式的虎爸虎妈，给孩子施压，迫使孩子努力取得好成绩，而是给他宽容的教育，希望他快乐健康。正是这种教育给了作者自行培养进取心的空间，以及实现目标的健康心理。这也是父母给作者的两件最宝贵的礼物。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
If
you
use
social
media
to
chase
away
loneliness,
a
new
study
suggests
you're
going
against
the
grain.
We
may
have
heard
a
lot
about
the
benefits
of
interacting
with
others
online,
but
the
findings
of
a
study
conducted
by
University
of
Pittsburgh
School
of
Medicine
scientists
show
a
direct
relationship
between
social
media
usage
and
feelings
of
isolation
(隔绝).
In
short,
the
more
time
you
spend
on
social
media,
the
lonelier
you
may
feel.
With
increased
interaction
on
a
large
number
of
apps
that
allow
for
endless
virtual
connectivity,
loneliness
seems
like
the
last
problem
frequent
social
media
users
would
face,
but
according
to
the
leader
of
the
study
Brain
Primack,
it
has
the
exact
opposite
effect.
“Mental
health
problems
and
social
isolation
are
at
widespread
levels
among
young
adults
nowadays，”
Primack
said,
“We
are
naturally
social
creature,
but
modern
life
tends
to
separate
us
instead
of
bringing
us
together.
While
it
may
seem
that
social
media
presents
opportunities
to
fill
the
social
void
(空隙),
I
think
this
study
suggests
that
it
may
not
be
the
solution
people
were
hoping
for.”
Primack
and
his
team
examined
the
social
media
habits
of
1787
US
adults
aged
19
to
32
via
a
questionnaire
that
asked
about
the
time
and
frequency
they
spent
on
the
most
popular
social
media
platforms.
Eventually,
they
determined
that
young
adults
who
are
constantly
logging
into
social
media
reported
more
feelings
of
isolation
than
those
with
less
social
media
usage.
Frequent
exposure
to
unrealistic
descriptions
on
social
media
instead
of
face?to?face
social
interactions
may
give
people
the
impression
that
others
are
living
happier,
more
connected
lives,
and
this
makes
users
feel
more
socially
isolated
in
comparison.
这是一篇说明文。研究表明，花在社交媒体上的时间越多，人们可能越会感到孤独。
1．What
does
the
underlined
phrase
“going
against
the
grain”
in
Paragraph
1
mean?
A．Doing
it
all
wrong.
B．On
the
way
to
success.
C．Taking
a
risk.
D．Making
a
difference.
答案：A
解析：词义猜测题。由第一段“If
you
use
social
media
to
chase
away
loneliness,
a
new
study
suggests
you're
going
against
the
grain.”以及第二段“
In
short,
the
more
time
you
spend
on
social
media,
the
lonelier
you
may
feel.”可知，如果你用社交媒体来驱赶孤独，一项新的研究表明，你这是在逆水行舟。简而言之，你花在社交媒体上的时间越多，你可能越会感到孤独。所以通过下文的语境可以判断出，第1段中加下划线的短语“going
against
the
grain”是doing
it
all
wrong“都做错了”的意思。故A选项正确。
2．How
did
Primack
and
his
team
conduct
the
study?
A．By
providing
explanations.
B．By
collecting
data
online.
C．By
doing
a
survey.
D．By
describing
their
own
experiences.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。由第五段“Primack
and
his
team
examined
the
social
media
habits
of
1,787
US
adults
aged
19
to
32
via
a
questionnaire
that
asked
about
the
time
and
frequency
they
spent
on
the
most
popular
social
media
platforms”可知，Primack和他的团队通过问卷形式调查了1
787名年龄在19岁到32岁之间的美国成年人的社交媒体习惯，问卷调查了他们在最受欢迎的社交媒体平台上花费的时间和频率。所以Primack和他的团队是通过做一个调查进行这项研究的。故C选项正确。
3．What
can
we
learn
from
the
study?
A．You
will
feel
happier
if
you
spend
more
time
online.
B．Interaction
online
is
not
the
solution
to
social
isolation.
C．Virtual
connectivity
is
best
way
to
fill
the
social
void.
D．Popular
social
media
platforms
can
bring
people
together.
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。由第四段“While
it
may
seem
that
social
media
presents
opportunities
to
fill
the
social
void
(空隙),
I
think
this
study
suggests
that
it
may
not
be
the
solution
people
were
hoping
for.”可知，虽然社交媒体似乎提供了填补社会空白的机会，但我认为这项研究表明，这可能不是人们希望的解决方案。所以我们能从研究中得到，在线互动并不是解决社交孤独的办法。故B选项正确。
4．What
does
the
text
mainly
tell
us?
A．New
study
on
social
media
usage
has
been
published.
B．Face?to?face
social
interactions
are
on
the
way
out.
C．Social
media
does
users
more
harm
than
good.
D．Social
media
might
make
loneliness
worse.
答案：D
解析：主旨大意题。由第二段“
In
short,
the
more
time
you
spend
on
social
media,
the
lonelier
you
may
feel.”和最后一段“Frequent
exposure
to
unrealistic
descriptions
on
social
media
instead
of
face?to?face
social
interactions
may
give
people
the
impression
that
others
are
living
happier,
more
connected
lives,
and
this
makes
users
feel
more
socially
isolated
in
comparison.”可知，简而言之，你花在社交媒体上的时间越多，你可能越会感到孤独。频繁地在社交媒体上看到不真实的描述，而不是面对面的社交互动，可能会给人一种其他人生活更快乐、交流更密切的印象，相比之下，这可能会让许多用户感到更孤独。所以社交媒体，并没有起到积极的作用，相反它让人更加孤独。所以综合几个段落的主要信息，可以判断出，本文主要告诉我们社交媒体可能会使孤独感更严重。故D选项正确。

这是一篇说明文。介绍了巴黎象征性建筑巴黎圣母院在2019年4月15日被一场大火摧毁了塔尖。这座教堂不仅是一座历史瑰宝，也是许多宗教雕塑的故乡。作者希望这座历史建筑能尽快被重建。
1．sunny
解析：考查形容词。根据上文be动词可知应填形容词作表语，故填sunny。
2．but
解析：考查连词。句意：在巴黎很少有晴朗的天气，但是人们仍然喜欢沿着塞纳河散步。上下文为转折关系，故填连词but。
3．which
解析：考查定语从句引导词。句意：他们喜欢看城市的老建筑，尤其是巴黎圣母院和举世闻名的埃菲尔铁塔，数百年来，它们已经成为巴黎的标志性象征。本句为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词Notre
Dame
Cathedral
(巴黎圣母院)
and
the
world?famous
Eiffel
Tower，空处在句中作主语，指物，故填which。
4．Unfortunately
解析：考查副词。句意：不幸的是，这种景色已经永远改变了。修饰整个句子应用副词，故填Unfortunately。
5．destroyed
解析：考查动词时态。句意：2019年4月15日，一场大火摧毁了这座有着850多年历史的大教堂的塔尖。根据上文April
15,
2019可知应用一般过去时，故填destroyed。
6．praying
解析：考查非谓语动词。本句已经存在谓语动词且句中没有连词，故pray只能作非谓语动词，与逻辑主语构成主谓关系，故用现在分词praying。
7．sculptures
解析：考查名词的数。sculpture为可数名词，由many修饰，故应用复数形式sculptures。
8．its
解析：考查形容词性物主代词。history为名词，需要形容词修饰，故填形容词性物主代词its。
9．truly
解析：考查副词。句意：虽然这座教堂有着悠久的历史和很多宝物，但使它真正出名的是作家雨果。修饰形容词famous，用副词。故填truly。
10．that
解析：考查强调句。句意：正是维克多·雨果的小说《巴黎圣母院》提醒人们保护这座美丽的老建筑。本句为强调句it
is＋被强调的部分＋that从句，故填that。

本文为一篇说明文。文章作者主要介绍了由张艺谋导演的盛大晚会——《西湖印象》。
1．are
解析：考查主谓一致。此句为倒装句，句中主语为70
percent
of
elements，故谓语动词用复数形式。句意：新版本中包括了来自杭州G20峰会晚会70%的元素。故填are。
2．impressively
解析：考查副词。修饰动词presents用副词形式。句意：它深刻地展现了西湖的历史文化。故填impressively。
3．exploring
解析：考查非谓语动词。介词by后接v.?ing形式作宾语。句意：通过对《白蛇传》和《梁山伯与祝英台》故事的探索。故填exploring。
4．natural
解析：考查形容词。修饰名词landscape前，用形容词形式。句意：《西湖印象》还突出了西湖美丽的自然风景。故填natural。
5．hills
解析：考查名词的数。名词hill为可数名词，故用复数形式。句意：整个演出完全以西湖和山为背景。故填hills。
6．What
解析：考查名词性从句。主语从句中，从句缺少主语，表示“所……的”，故用what引导。句意：更令人惊叹的是《西湖之雨》。故填What。
7．to
bring
解析：考查非谓语动词。这里用不定式表示目的性。句意：它是人为地再现了西湖在雨中的魅力。故填to
bring。
8．As
解析：考查定语从句。as引导的非限制性定语从句，代替整个主句，对其进行说明。句意：据报道，背景音乐由日本著名音乐家Kitaro制作。故填As。
9．is
performed
解析：考查动词语态和时态。句中主语the
theme
song与动词perform之间为被动关系，故用被动语态；结合全文时态可知用一般现在时。句意：主题曲由中国流行歌手张靓颖演唱。故填is
performed。
10．with
解析：考查介词。句意：主题曲由中国流行歌手张靓颖演唱，她的声音悦耳动听。介词with表示“带着”。故填with。

PAGEThe British are known for their sense of humour. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.
Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, “It's a little damp(潮湿的)outside.”Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, “He isn't exactly friendly.” Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humour.
Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to their everyday life when someone accidentally falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What's more, the British love to watch comedies about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedy series Mr Bean is a good example of this kind of humour. Mr Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990.
