B
When
an
editor
called
to
ask
if
I
could
photograph
a
story
about
fireflies
in
Mexico.
I
didn’t
check
my
schedule
before
I
said
yes.
I’d
seen
these
insects
light
up
the
forests
in
Tlaxcala
once
before,
and
I
jumped
at
the
chance
to
go
back.
While
studying,
I
began
exploring
Mexico,
crossing
the
country
several
times
by
bus.
Now
I
work
as
a
photojournalist
in
Mexico
and
along
the
border,
documenting
desperate
situations
that
face
everyday
Mexicans.
Though
necessary
and
important,
news
stories
don’t
reflect
the
Mexico
that
I
fell
for
and
that
is
home
to
so
many
people
I
love.
A
task
focused
on
the
country’s
natural
beauty
was
a
welcome
reprieve
for
me.
I
had
three
nights
to
film
the
magical
scene
in
the
forest.
According
to
our
guides,
visitors
are
usually
not
allowed
to
photograph
the
fireflies
because
the
presence
of
artificial
light
from
electronics
can
affect
their
habits.
As
I
started
shooting,
I
adjusted
my
exposures
constantly
to
account
for
the
fading
light.
In
order
to
get
the
composition
that
I
wanted,
I
placed
my
tripod
(三脚架)
on
a
steep,
rocky
path
and
had
to
steady
it
during
the
long
exposures.
Normally
this
wouldn’t
be
a
big
deal,
but
the
fireflies
were
very
interested
in
the
camera
and,
by
extension,
in
me.
I
stood
completely
still
while
they
were
all
over
me-my
arms,
my
hair,
my
face.
From
what
I
observed,
peak
(高峰时期的)
firefly
presence
lasts
for
only
about
20
minutes
each
night,
so
I
had
time
for
just
a
few
tries.
On
the
last
night
everything
came
together.
The
weather
cooperated.
I
had
improved
my
method
for
focusing
and
composing
photos
in
the
dark
with
quick
flashes
from
a
powerful
flashlight—and
I’d
grown
accustomed
to
insects
on
my
face.
I
was
rewarded
with
the
image
you
see
here.
Each
dot
of
light
is
one
of
several
bursts
that
a
firefly
makes
as
it
travels
within
a
30-
second
exposure.
You
can
track
the
insects’
paths:
Some
make
small
circles,
like
those
in
the
bottom
center
of
the
frame,
while
others
move
steadily
in
one
direction
or
another.

can
best

the
underlined
word

in
paragraph
2?
A.
Relief
B.
Return
C.
Trend
D.

6.

did
the
author
intend
to
do
during
the
first
two
nights?
A.

about
the
local
travel
rules.

of
the
fireflies.

constantly
with
the
guides.
D.

spot
and

photos.
7.

the
text?

tell
findings
about
fireflies.

【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文。作者是一个专业摄影师，受一位编辑之托，前去拍摄一篇关于墨西哥萤火虫的报道，介绍了他拍摄的一张关于萤火虫照片背后的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“
When
an
editor
called
to
ask
if
I
could
photograph
a
story
about
fireflies
in
Mexico.
I
didn’t
check
my

I
said
yes.”“
I
jumped
at
the
chance
to
go
back.”(一位编辑打电话来问我是否可以拍摄一篇关于墨西哥萤火虫的报道。在我答应之前我没有查看我的日程安排。我迫不及待地抓住了这个机会。)可知，作者没有确认自己的行程就一口答应编辑的请求，由此推知，他很乐意、高兴、激动或者迫不及待地接受了这个请求。故选B项。

词义猜测题。根据第二段第二句“Now
I
work
as
a

in
Mexico
and
along
the

documenting
desperate
situations
that
face
everyday
Mexicans.Though

to
so

people
I

”(现在，我在墨西哥边境做摄影记者，记录墨西哥人每天面临的绝望处境。)可知，作者作为摄影记者在墨西哥工作，记录着墨西哥人每天都面临的危险状况，而这样的新闻反映不出作者喜欢的墨西哥。现在有这样一个关注墨西哥自然美的工作机全，对作者来说是一个让他开心的缓解机会。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“

【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章内容，尤其是最后一段第一句“I
was
rewarded
with
the
image
you
see
here”（我得到了你们在这里看到的图像。）结合短文叙述了作者是一个专业摄影师，受一位编辑之托，前去拍摄一篇关于墨西哥萤火虫的报道，介绍了他拍摄的一张关于萤火虫照片背的故事。可知，本篇文章的目的是向读者介绍作者拍摄的照片背后的故事，故选B项。
C
For
many
of
us,
summertime
means
road
trips
to
the
beach
or
mountains,
or
at
the
very
least
some
additional
dust
on
the
outside
of
our
vehicle.
The
extra
dirt
leads
us
to
do
one
of
two
things:
wash
our
car
in
the
driveway
or
head
to
the
car
wash.
But
which
choice
is
better
for
the
environment?
The
main
concerns
with
either
choice
are
the
amount
of
fresh
water
used
and
the
types
of
chemicals
used
to
get
rid
of
the
dirt.
Both
of
these
concerns
can
be
closely
monitored
when
washing
the
car
at
home,
says
Katy
Gresh,
spokeswoman
for
the
Southwest
Region
of
the
Pennsylvania
Department
of
Environmental
Protection.
She
advises
car
owners
to
keep
a
set
amount
of
water
in
a
container
for
the
entire
wash.
“You
don’t
want
to
leave
the
water
running
or
use
more
than
you
need
for
the
job,”
she
says.
But
even
following
this
piece
of
advice
comes
with
an
environmental
risk:
Washing
your
car
in
the
driveway
gets
the
dirty
water
into
drains
(下水道).
“Drains
are
not
made
for
treating
waste.”
says
John
Schombert,
executive
director
of
3
Rivers
Wet
Weather.
Even
when
car
owners
use
natural
soaps
to
wash
their
car,
Schombert
says
they
are
probably
ineffective
in
breaking
down
grease(油脂)anyway.
The
commercial
car
wash
knows
full
well
the
rules
regarding
wastewater
in
drains.
According
to
the
International
Carwash
Association
(ICA),
professional
car
washes
must
use
special
water
treatment
systems.
These
processes
not
only
keep
the
dirty
water
out
of
drains
and
regular
water
treatment
systems,
but
also
work
to
reduce
water
usage
at
commercial
facilities.
As
experts
point
out,
cleaning
our
car
at
home
can
use
100
gallons
of
pare
that
to
self-service
car
washes,
which
allow
you
to
use
only
about
17
or
18
gallons
of
water.
And
most
full-service
car
washes
average
about
30
to
45
gallons
of
water
per
vehicle.

What
does
Katy
suggest
people
do
about
washing
cars?
A.
Use
soft
toothbrushes.
B.
Save
treated
water.
C.
Put
aside
some
water.
D.
Avoid
using
chemicals.
9.
What
is
Schombert’s
attitude
to
washing
cars
at
home?
A.
Disapproving.
B.
Favorable.
C.
Indifferent.
D.
Objective.
10.
What
is
the
fourth
paragraph
mainly
about?
A.
Rules
of
handling
wastewater.
B.
Advantages
of
professional
car
washes.
C.
Processes
of
getting
rid
of
dirty
water.
D.
Drawbacks
of
water
treatment
systems.
11.
Which
mehod
of
car
washing
consumes
the
least
water?
A.
The
full-service
car
washes.
B.
Car
washing
in
the
driveway.
C.
The
self-service
car
washes.
D.
Car
washing
using
natural
soaps.

这是一篇议论文。文章谈论了一些有关洗车用水的建议。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“She
advises
car
owners
to
keep
a
set
amount
of
water
in
a
container
for
the
entire
wash.”（她建议车主在整个洗车过程中，在容器里放一定量的水。）可知，她建议储备一些水。故选C项
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段Schombert
所说的话“Drains
are
not
made
for
treating
waste.
Even
when
car
owners
use
natural
soaps
to
wash
their
car,
they
are
probably
ineffective
in
breaking
down
grease(油脂)anyway.”（排水沟不是用来处理废物的。即使车主们用天然的肥皂洗车，它们也可能无法有效地分解油脂。）可推知，Schombert是反对在家洗车的。故选A项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“These
processes
not
only
keep
the
dirty
water
out
of
drains
and
regular
water
treatment
systems,
but
also
work
to
reduce
water
usage
at
commercial
facilities.”（
这些过程不仅可以防止污水进入下水道和常规的水处理系统，而且还可以减少商业设施的用水量。）以及整段内容可知，本段主要讲了“专业洗车的优势”。故选B项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“As
experts
point
out,
cleaning
our
car

can
use
100
gallons
of

that
to

And
most
full-service
car
washes
average
about
30

45
gallons
of
water

正如专家指出的那样，在家里清洗汽车可以消耗100加仑的水。相比之下，自助洗车服务只允许你使用17到18加仑的水。大多数全方位服务的洗车场平均每辆车要消耗30到45加仑的水。）可知，自助洗车服务用水最少。故选C项。
D
Girl
with
a
Pearl
Earring
has
been
part
of
the
Mauritshuis’
collection
in
the
Hague
since
1902
and
is
still
on
display
at
the
museum.
Rumours
(谣言)
have
surrounded
Johannes
Vermeer’s
work
ever
since
it
was
rediscovered
in
the
late
19th
century,
and
this
painting
still
continues
to
generate
interest,
debate
and
imagination.
Although
Vermeer
was
among
the
most
successful
artists
working
in
Delft
during
the
17th
century,
he
was
almost
completely
forgotten
after
his
death
in
1675.
Even
during
his
lifetime,
Vermeer’s
influence
was
mainly
limited
to
Delft
where
he
earned
a
reasonable
living
as
a
painter
and
art
dealer.
What’s
more,
Vermeer’s
name
is
rarely
mentioned
in
historical
records
and
he
left
behind
barely
any
other
documents
about
his
career
or
personal
history.
Very
little
is
known
about
Girl
with
a
Pearl
Earring.
However,
art
historians
have
decided
several
important
facts
about
the
painting.
Recent
research
suggests
that
the
black,
negative
space
behind
Vermeer’s
model
was
originally
painted
dark
green.
Much
like
other
artists
of
his
time,
Vermeer
enjoyed
painting
figures
dressed
in
Middle
Eastern
clothes.
As
his
model
is
dressed
in
a
turban
(女用头巾),
many
art
historians
argue
that
the
Vermeer’s
painting
shouldn’t
De
considered
as
a
portrait(肖像画)at
all.
Instead,
most
scholars
agree
that
Girl
with
a
Pearl
Earring
belongs
to
a
kind
of
painting
called
Tronie
that
began
in
the
Low
Countries
around
Vermeer’s
time.
This
type
of
artwork
often
portrays
(描绘)
characters
rather
than
actual
people.
It
portrays
a
certain
type
of
character;
in
this
case
a
girl
in
fanciful
cress,
wearing
an
oriental
turban
and
an
improbably
large
pearl
in
her
ear.
It
is
interesting
to
note
that
the
painting
was
known
as
Girl
with
Turban
or
simply
Young
Girl
for
most
of
its
existence
and
only
received
its
current
name
less
than
a
century
ago.
While
it
is
impossible
to
identify
Vermeer’s
model
due
to
a
complete
lack
of
evidence,
he
may
have
asked
one
of
his
seven
daughters
to
sit
for
the
painting.

his
lifetime,
Vermeer’s
influence
was
mainly
limited
to
Delft
where
he
earned
a
reasonable
living
as
a
painter
and
art
dealer.”（即使在他的一生中，Vermeer的影响也主要局限于代尔夫特，他在那里以画家和艺术品经销商的身份谋生。）可知，在Johannes
Vermeer活着的时候，他在他的城市之外并不出名。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Much
like
other
artists
of
his
time,
Vermeer
enjoyed
painting
figures
dressed
in
Middle
Eastern
clothes.
As
his
model
is
dressed
in
a
turban
,
many
art
historians
argue
that
the
Vermeer’s
painting
shouldn’t
De
considered
as
a
portrait
at
all.
Instead,
most
scholars
agree
that
Girl
with
a
Pearl
Earring
belongs
to
a
kind
of
painting
called
Tronie”（和他那个时代的其他艺术家一样，Vermeer喜欢画穿着中东服装的人物。由于他的模特戴着头巾，许多艺术历史学家认为Vermeer的画根本不应该被视为肖像画。相反，大多数学者认为《戴珍珠耳环的女孩》属于一幅名为Tronie的画作）可知，女孩不寻常的着装使一些学者认为戴珍珠耳环的女孩是Tronie的作品。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“While
it
is
impossible
to
identify
Vermeer’s
model,
due
to
a
complete
lack
of
evidence,
he
may
have
asked
one
of
his
seven
daughters
to
sit
for
the
painting.”（虽然无法确定Vermeer的模特，由于完全缺乏证据，他可能让他的七个女儿中的一个坐下来画这幅画。）可知，这幅画的模特仍然很神秘。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Girl
with
a
Pearl
Earring
has
been
part
of
the
Mauritshuis’
collection
in
the
Hague
since
1902
and
is
still
on
display
at
the
museum.
Rumors
have
surrounded
Johannes
Vermeer’s
work
ever
since
it
was
rediscovered
in
the
late
19th
century,
and
this
painting
still
continues
to
generate
interest,
debate
and
imagination.”（自1902年以来，《戴珍珠耳环的女孩》一直是毛里泰斯在海牙的收藏品，现在仍在该博物馆展出。自从Johannes
Vermeer的作品在19世纪末被重新发现以来，围绕着它的流言四起，这幅画至今仍在继续引起人们的兴趣、争论和想象。）可知，文章主要讲述了关于绘画《戴珍珠耳环的女孩》的故事。这篇文章最好的题目是“《戴珍珠耳环的女孩》背后的故事”。故选C。Unit

A
Vanuatu
is
an
island
nation
in
the
South
Pacific.
It
is
one
of
the
smallest
countries
in
the
world.
But
for
those
who
are
interested
in
adventure
and
sport,
there
is
a
lot
to
do.
Vanuatu’s
islands
offer
visitors
two
of
the
most
exciting
and
dangerous
activities
in
the
world:
volcano
(火山)
surfing
and
land
diving.
Volcano
Surfing
On
Tanna
Island,
Mount
Yasur
rises
300
meters
into
the
sky.
Yasur
is
an
active
volcano,
and
it
erupts
(喷发)
almost
every
day,
sometimes
several
times
a
day.
For
centuries,
people
have
climbed
this
mountain
to
visit
the
top.
Recently,
people
have
also
started
climbing
Yasur
to
surf
the
volcano.
In
some
ways,
volcano
surfing
is
like
surfing
in
the
sea,
but
in
other
ways
it
is
very
different.
Land
Diving
Most
people
are
familiar
with
bungee
jumping,
but
do
you
know
bungee
jumping
started
on
Pentecost
Island
in
Vanuatu
and
is
almost
fifteen
centuries
old?
The
activity,
first
called
land
diving,
is
part
of
a
religious
ceremony
(仪式).
A
man
ties
tree
vines
(树藤)
to
his
legs.
He
then
jumps
head-first
from
a
high
tower
to
touch
the
earth
with
the
top
of
his
head
—
without
breaking
the
vine.
Every
spring,
island
natives
(men
only)
still
take
part
in
this
amazing
activity.

It
came
to
Vanuatu
from
another
country.

B
After
the
examination,
the
doctor
told
my
parents
my
sight
(视力)
would
get
worse
and
that
I
would
lose
my
sight
finally.
On
the
way
home
from
hospital,
no
one
said
a
word.
One
day,
would
I
only
imagine
the
scenery（景色）beyond
the
glass
rather
than
see
it?
That
September,
I
entered
middle
school.
Most
nights
I
had
homework
that
included
a
pile
of
books
to
read.
To
keep
up
with
other
children,
I
took
great
trouble
to
finish
the
task.
With
my
nose
a
couple
of
inches
from
the
page,
I
was
tired
easily.
However,
then
I
did
not
have
audio
books
and
electronic
devices
(设备)
like
kids
do
now.
Instead,
Mom
volunteered
to
read
out
loud.
Mom
worked
part-time,
cleaned
the
house,
cooked
and
spent
time
with
Grandma.
In
spite
of
being
so
busy,
she
showed
up
in
my
room
like
clockwork.
She
put
on
her
reading
glasses.
Mom
always
thought
those
glasses
made
her
look
old.
To
me,
she
looked
like
a
teacher.
In
my
room,
Mom's
voice
competed
with
the
ticking
of
the
clock.
Being
forced
to
focus
on
(集中)
listening,
I
found
a
way
to
keep
my
marks
up
and
compete
with
the
other
kids.
When
the
teacher
asked
a
question,
I
raised
my
hand
with
confidence.
Teachers
praised
me
for
having
a
good
memory.
Reading
removed
(消除)
my
fear
for
my
failing
sight,
reading
also
made
me
curious
about
other
people's
challenges
and
how
they
managed.
Though
I
could
not
use
my
eyes
to
fix
on
each
passage,
my
mind
lit
up
with
every
new
book.
True
to
what
the
doctor
said,
the
worst
came,
but
thanks
to
Mom,
my
sense
of
hearing
now
allows
me
to
“see”.
This
was
the
most
precious（珍贵的）gift
from
a
mother
to
her
child.

Having
friends
may
well
keep
you
healthier
and
help
you
deal
with
stress
better.
Some
studies
show
that
people
with
close
friends
have
a
greater
ability
to
fight
disease
than
people
who
are
alone.
Make
friendship
a
priority（优先）.
Find
the
time
to
be
with
friends
even
if
it
means
letting
the
lawn（草坪）go
unremoved
or
the
dishes
unwashed
for
a
while.
When
you
can’t
get
together,
use
the
phone
to
keep
in
touch.
Open
up
to
close
friends.
Keeping
a
deep
friendship
needs
a
level
of
“heartfelt”
intimacy
(亲密).
Don’t
be
afraid
to
express
your
inner
fears
and
disappointments.
Listen
to
your
friends
when
they
have
problems,
but
offer
your
advice
only
when
it
is
wanted.
Help
raise
friends’
confidence
when
they
are
shaken
by
a
job
loss,
or
other
such
events.
Have
different
friends
for
different
activities,
such
as
going
to
the
movies,
singing
in
a
choir
(合唱团),
and
joining
in
a
club.
Don’t
wait
for
a
friend
to
ask
you
for
help.
When
a
friend
is
sick,
offer
to
go
to
the
store
or
drive
his/her
children
to
their
after-school
activities.
Never
take
a
friendship
for
granted.
Like
a
good
marriage,
friendship
needs
care
and
patience.
Become
a
joiner.
Find
a
group
that
matches
your
interests.
Talk
to
strangers.
Conversations
started
in
museums,
laundry
rooms,
or
bookstores
can
lead
to
firm
friendship.
Enroll
in
an
adult-education
lesson.
A
classroom

Do
you
jump
out
of
bed
early,
wide
awake
and
ready
to
start
your
day？If
so,
you
would
be
called
an
“early
bird”.
Perhaps,
you
hate
the
sound
of
your
alarm
clock
each
morning
and
have
little
energy
until
afternoon.
If
so,
you're
probably
a
“night
owl”．
Most
people
can
be
divided
into
such
two
groups,
but
what
makes
us
this
way？And
is
one
better
than
the
other？There
are
different
opinions.
Usually,
early
risers
have
been
praised
as
hard-working
while
those
who
prefer
to
get
up
late
are
considered
lazy.
Most
people
believe
the
early
bird
catches
the
worm.
Yet
some
scientists
now
believe
“night
owls”
can
really
focus(集中)
longer
and
produce
more
than
early
risers.
Research
has
found
that
the
early
bird
does
not
always
get
the
worm.
In
a
Belgian
study,
both
“morning
people”
and
“evening
people”
were
watched
during
their
normal
asleep
and
awake
routines(常规)．After
10
hours
of
being
awake,
the
“evening
people”
became
more
alert(思维敏捷的).
However,
the
“morning
people”
became
sleepy
and
less
focused.
Researchers
believe
the
reason
for
this
difference
is
that
night
owls
receive
a
last-minute
increase
from
their
brains.
This
added
energy
allows
them
to
stay
alert
for
longer
periods
of
time.
Environment,
lifestyle,
activities
and
childhood
routines
all
may
have
an
effect
on
sleeping
habits,
yet
genetics(遗传学)may
play
the
biggest
role.
It
is
possible
to
change
your
sleeping
habits
through
regular
bedtimes,
early
exercise
and
by
avoiding
midnight
snacks.
But
if
you're
happy
rising
early
or
staying
up
late,
you're
probably
doing
what
works
best
for
your
own
personal
body
clock.

本文是一篇议论文，主要讨论了“early
bird”和
“night
owl”哪一个更好？研究发现夜猫子白天的思维更加敏捷，最后作者认为这两种方式无所谓哪一个更好，人们应该做适合自己的事情。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Most
people
can
be
divided
into
such
two
groups,
but
what
makes
us
this
way？
And
is
one
better
than
the

There
are
different
opinions.”可知作者提出了一个问题：哪一种方式更好？以此问题引出要讨论的话题。故D项正确。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。第三段第一句“Usually,
early
risers
have
been
praised
as
hard-working
while
those
who
prefer
to
get
up
late
are
considered
lazy.”告诉我们早起的人常常被认为很努力，而晚起的人通常被认为懒惰。因此推断人们会认为早起的人足够勤奋能够实现他们的目标。故该句与A项语意一致，故A项正确。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段第三句“After
10
hours
of
being
awake,
the
“evening
people”
became
more

Dear
Tom,
I’d
like
to
share
my
travel
experience
with
you.
During
this
summer
holiday,
my
parents
and
me
went
on
a
trip
to
the
capital
city
of
Tibet,
Lhasa,
that
is
also
the
political,
economic
and
cultural
centre
of
the
region.
We
first
visit
the
Potala
Palace
originally
built
in
the
7th
century.
But
then,
we
appreciated
a
rich
collection
of
cultural
treasures
in
Tibet
Museum
where
we
learned
some
useful
historical
knowledges
about
Tibet.
During
those
days,
we
were
all
surprising
by
the
natural
scenery
there,
which
made
us
to
feel
peaceful
and
quiet.
I
strong
suggest
that
you
travel
to
Tibet
with
me
next
time
and
I’m
sure
you
will
have
wonderful
time.
Looking
forward
to
meet
you
soon.
Yours,
Wang
Tao

4.
But→And;
5.
knowledges→knowledge;
6.
surprising→surprised;

【解析】
【分析】
本文是一封书信。作者给Tom写信讲述了自己的拉萨之行，并建议Tom去拉萨旅行。
【详解】1.考查代词。句意：在这个暑假期间，我和我的父母去了西藏首都拉萨，拉萨也是该地区的政治、经济和文化中心。作主语用人称代词主格，故将me改为I。
2.考查定语从句关系词。句意同上。分析句子可知，这里含有一个非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词Lhasa，关系词在从句中作主语，指物，用关系代词which引导该从句，that不能引导非限制性定语从句，故将that改为which。
3.考查时态。根据上文的“During
this
summer
holiday”可知，描述过去发生的事情，用一般过去时，故将visit改为visited。
4.考查连词。句意：我们是第一次参观最初建于7世纪的布达拉宫。
然后，我们欣赏了西藏博物馆丰富的文化宝藏，在那里我们了解了一些关于西藏的有用的历史知识。前后文是顺承关系，故将But改为And。
5.考查名词。句意同上。knowledge“知识”是不可数名词，故将knowledges改为knowledge。
6.考查形容词。句意：在那些日子里，我们都惊讶于那里的自然风光，使我们感到平静和安宁。说明人的感受用过去分词变化来的形容词，surprised“感到惊奇的”；surprising“令人吃惊的”，修饰物，表示事物的特征。根据句意，故将surprising改为surprised。
7.考查非谓语动词。句意同上。make
sb.do
sth.“让某人做某事”，make是使役动词，接不带to的不定式作宾语补足语，故去掉feel前的to。
8.考查副词。句意：我强烈建议你下次和我一起去西藏，我相信你会过得非常愉快。修饰动词suggest用副词作状语，故将strong改为strongly。
9.考查冠词。句意同上。have
a
wonderful
time“过得很愉快”，是固定短语，故wonderful前加a。
10.考查非谓语动词。look
forward
to
doing
sth.“期盼做某事”，to是介词，接动名词作宾语，故填meet改为meeting。

The
hula
hoop(呼啦圈)
can
date
back
to
around
1000
BC.
Originally,
the
hula
hoop
was
made
of
dried
grapevines(葡萄藤).
___6___
Although
first
played
for
this
simple
game,
the
hula
hoop
has
been
enjoyed
by
adults
and
children
for
centuries.
Various
nations
worldwide
independently
created
and
used
it
for
entertainment
purposes
throughout
history.
___7___
Sometimes
these
hoops
were
also
used
for
military
and
battle
practice.
Between
800
and
500
AD,
Native
Americans
used
the
hoops
as
moving
targets
in
order
to
practice
throwing
spears
and
other
weapons.
Even
the
British
army
had
a
game
named
“kill
the
hoop”.
However,
this
practice
is
not
common
today.
The
more
modern
version
of
the
hula
hoop,
which
is
spun
around
the
waist,
was
first
invented
in
the
950s.
A
plastic
hoop
created
by
California’s
Wham-O
toy
company
had
sold
nearly
00
million
hula
hoops
by
960.
___8___
Throughout
the
United
States,
the
hula
hoop
craze
was
large
and
diverse.
But
by
980
the
use
of
hula
hoops
had
begun
rapidly
fading.
___9___
In
both
of
the
countries,
circuses
and
gymnasts
took
up
hula
hoping
as
part
of
their
performances.
Eventually,
the
hula
hoop
was
introduced
into
the
National
Toy
Hall
of
Fame
in
999,
showing
its
important
place
within
the
entertainment
and
children’s
toy
industries.
___10___
However,
methodical
and
structural
advances
have
allowed
for
the
introduction
of
hula
hoops
into
various
modern
entertainment
venues
for
adults
as
well.
A.
It
was
lighter
than
the
bamboo
hoops.
B.
This
was
not
the
case,
however,
in
China
or
Russia.
C.
It
was
just
thrown
and
rolled
down
hills
in
children’s
games.
D.
As
a
combined
exercise,
it
is
extremely
beneficial
to
the
body.
E.
Not
all
hula
hoop
games
were
played
for
fun
and
entertainment.
F.
This
created
what
was
known
as
the
“hula
hoop
craze”
during
the
950s.
G.
Today,
hula
hoping
is
still
common
among
children
as
it
was
during
the
ancient
time.

这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了呼啦圈的发展历史。
【6题详解】
根据空前一句“Originally,
the
hula
hoop
was
made
of
dried
grapevines(葡萄藤).(最初，呼啦圈是由干葡萄藤做成的)”可知，此处指讲述呼啦圈最初的历史，C项“它只是孩子们玩的从山上滚下来的游戏”承接上一句，是讲述呼啦圈最初的游戏玩法，C项中的“It”指代空前的“the
hula
hoop”，且空后一句“this
simple
game”指代C项中“thrown
and
rolled
down
hills”，故选C项。
【7题详解】
空处位于句首，是该段的主题句，根据本段“Sometimes
these
hoops
were
also
used
for
military
and
battle
practice.(有时呼啦圈也用于军事和战斗训练中)”可知，该段介绍呼啦圈的多种用途，并非只用来娱乐，所以E项“并非所有的呼啦圈都用来娱乐”符合语境。故选E项。

960.”可知，到960年，加利福尼亚的Wham-O玩具公司创造的塑料呼啦圈卖了几乎一亿个，由此可知，呼啦圈在当时很畅销，F项“这在10世纪50年代掀起了一场‘呼啦圈的热潮’”符合语境，F项中的“This”指代空前一句卖了一亿呼啦圈的情况，故选F项。
【9题详解】
根据空前一句“But
by
980
the
use
of
hula
hoops
had
begun
rapidly
fading.”可知，在10世纪80年代，呼啦圈的热潮开始消退，结合空后一句“在这两个国家，马戏团和体操运动员都将呼啦圈作为他们表演的一部分。”可知，
空处应是提到了两个国家，且与空前一句形成转折关系，B项“但是在中国和俄罗斯情况不是这样”符合语境，故选B项。
【10题详解】
根据空后一句“However,
methodical
and
structural
advances
have
allowed
for
the
introduction
of
hula
hoops
into
various
modern
entertainment
venues
for
adults
as
well.”可知，系统和结构的进步使得呼啦圈也被引入了各种现代成人娱乐场所，根据本句中的“as
well（也）”可知，空处应是讲述呼啦圈在孩子中很受欢迎，G项“如今，呼啦圈在孩子中仍然很常见，就像古代一样”符合语境，故选G项。
