B
“Oh
boys,
don’t
throw
stones
at
the
poor
bird,”
said
an
old
grey-headed
man.
“Sir,”
said
a
little
fellow,
“she
makes
such
a
loud
noise
that
we
can’t
suffer
from
her.”
“Yes,
but
she
uses
the
voice
which
nature
gave
her,
and
I
am
afraid
the
stone
will
rebound(弹回),
and
hurt
you
as
long
as
you
live!”
“Rebound!
We
don’t
understand
you,
sir!”
“Well
come
and
I
will
tell
you
a
story.”
“Is
it
a
true
story?”
“Yes,
every
word
is
true.”
“Fifty
years
ago,
I
was
a
boy
like
you.
I
used
to
throw
stones
very
accurately.”?
“One
day
I
went
to
work
for
an
old
couple.
They
were
very
kind
to
everybody
and
everything.
Few
had
so
many
birds
making
their
nests
under
the
roofs
of
their
houses.
The
birds
seemed
to
love
the
couple.
For
seven
years
a
bird
had
come,
after
the
long
winter
was
over,
and
built
her
nest
in
the
same
place,
and
raised
her
young
chicks
there.
She
and
her
mate
had
just
returned
when
I
went
there
to
work,
and
the
couple
welcomed
them
heartily.”
“During
the
day,
I
thought
I
would
try
my
skill
upon
her.
She
sat
on
a
pole
and
looked
at
me
trustfully.
I
found
a
nice
stone,
and
I
threw
it
with
my
utmost
skill.
It
struck
the
bird
on
the
head
and
she
dropped
dead!”
“I
said
nothing
to
the
old
couple
about
it.
But
one
of
their
grandchildren
told
them
what
I
had
done.
I
could
never
look
at
them
in
the
face
afterwards.
Oh,
that
I
should
have
told
them
how
sorry
I
was!”
“They
have
been
dead
many
years,
and
so
has
the
poor
bird;
but
don’t
you
see
how
that
stone
rebounded,
and
hit
me?
How
much
the
memory
of
it
has
hurt
me!
My
dear
boys,
I
would
pay
a
great
deal
today
if
I
could
undo
what
I
did!
“For
fifty
years
I
have
remembered
it.
I
have
never
spoken
of
it
before,
but
if
what
my
words
will
prevent
you
from
throwing
a
stone
that
may
rebound,
I
will
be
happy.”
The
boys
at
once
dropped
the
stones
they
had
in
their
hands,
and
the
bird
had
no
more
trouble
from
them.
4.
Why
did
the
boy
throw
stones
at
the
bird?
A.
Because
she
was
too
noisy
to
the
boy.
B.
Because
she
had
a
voice
nature
gave
her.
C.
Because
the
stone
always
rebounded
to
the
boy.
D.
Because
the
boy
wanted
the
old
man
to
tell
him
a
story.

the
old
man
killed
the
bird,
he
felt________.
A.
proud

couple
about
it.
But
one
of
their
grandchildren
told
them
what
I
had
done.

【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三四五句““Yes,
but
she
uses
the
voice
which
nature
gave
her,

afraid
the
stone
will
rebound(弹回),
and
hurt

you
live!”
“Rebound!
We
don’t
understand
you,
sir!”

come
and
I
will
tell
you
a
story.”（
“是的，但是她用的是大自然赋予她的声音，我担心石头会回弹，并且只要你活着，就会伤害你!”“回弹!我们不明白你的意思，先生!”“好吧，来吧，我给你讲个故事。”）”以及下文的故事，可知这个文章就告诉我们一个“回弹”的道理，A选项“回弹的石头”适合做标题，引出文章主旨大意，故选A。
C
For
some
people,
there’s
no
better
companion
than
man’s
best
friend
—
a
dog.
This
four-legged
canine
can
bring
comfort
and
joy
and
provide
much-needed
exercise
for
you
when
it
needs
walkies!
This
probably
explains
why
dog
ownership
increased
last
year
because
people
spent
more
time
at
home
during
the
coronavirus
pandemic
lockdown.
It
was
demand
for
puppies
in
particular
that
saw
the
biggest
increase.
Who
couldn’t
resist
their
playful
personalities,
adorable
eyes,
and
super-soft
coats?
However,
as
demand
for
a
new
pooch
increased,
so
did
the
price
tag.
Popular
breeds,
such
as
Cockapoos
and
Cocker
Spaniels,
saw
even
sharper
price
increases,
and
puppies
have
been
selling
for
?3,000
or
more.
Animal
welfare
charities
fear
that
high
prices
could
encourage
puppy
farming,
smuggling
(贩卖)
or
dog
theft.
And
a
BBC
investigation
found
some
breeders
have
been
selling
puppies
(幼犬)
and
kittens
on
social
media
sites
—
something
charities
have
called
“extremely
irresponsible”.
But
despite
some
new
owners
purchasing
a
dog
legally,
maybe
from
a
rescue
centre
or
registered
breeder,
they’ve
proved
to
be
ill-prepared
for
life
with
a
new
pet,
and
the
pet
itself
has
found
it
hard
to
come
to
terms
with
life
in
a
new
home.
Animal
behaviourists
in
the
UK
have
reported
a
surge
in
requests
to
help
dogs
suffering
from
fear-aggression
(害怕攻击)
after
their
lives
have
been
turned
upside
down.
Looking
to
the
future,
there
are
concerns
about
the
welfare
(幸福安康)
of
these
much-loved
pets.
Ian
Atkin,
manager
of
the
Oxfordshire
Animal
Sanctuary
in
the
UK,
told
the
BBC:
“At
the
moment,
the
dogs
are
having
a
great
time,
but
separation
anxiety
could
still
surface
when
people
go
back
to
work.”
And
Claire
Calder
from
the
UK’s
Dogs
Trust
rescue
charity
says
“the
economic
situation
also
means
that
some
people
may
find
they
can’t
afford
to
look
after
a
dog.”
The
message
is
not
to
buy
a
puppy
in
haste
and
to
pick
one
that
fits
into
your
lifestyle.
8.
Why
did
dog
ownership
increase
during
the
coronavirus
pandemic?
A.
Because
people
were
looking
for
companionship
and
exercise.
B.
Because
dogs
were
also
locked
down
together
with
people.
C.
Because
dogs
became
more
playful,
lovely
and
likeable.
D.
Because
the
price
of
dogs
increased
at
the
same
time.
9.
What
does
the
underlined
phrase
“come
to
terms
with”
most
probably
mean?
A.
Rescue.
B.
Regret.
C.
Access.
D.
Accept.
10.
How
might
going
back
to
work
affect
the
life
of
a
dog?
A.
Its
price
would
be
increased
sharply.
B.
It
might
be
sold
on
social
media.
C.
It
can
be
smuggled
and
stolen.
D.
It
could
suffer
from
separation
anxiety.

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述在冠状病毒大流行封锁期间，人们待在家里的时间更多，所以对宠物狗的需求越来越多，价格也随之上涨，所以担心这会鼓励幼犬养殖、走私和偷盗。并且有些人不负责任的随便买卖宠物使得宠物狗很难适应新家，
因此人们对备受喜爱的宠物的福利感到担忧。

【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前半句“But
despite
some
new
owners
purchasing
a
dog
legally,
maybe
from
a
rescue
centre
or
registered
breeder,
they’ve
proved
to

ill-prepared
for
life
with
a
new
pet,
(尽管一些新主人从救助中心或注册的繁育者那里合法购买了一只狗，但事实证明，他们对新宠物的生活没有做好准备)”可推知，下半句意思是宠物自己也无法适应或接受新家的生活。由此猜测，划线部分“come
to
terms
with”意为接受，A.
Rescue拯救；B.
Regret后悔；C.
Access接近；D.
Accept接受。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Ian

there
are
concerns
about

This
new
Forever
stamp
from
the
U.S.
Postal
Service
honors
Dr.
Chien-Shiung
Wu(1912-1997),
one
of
the
most
influential
nuclear
physicists
of
the
20th
century.
The
stamp
art
features
a
detailed
portrait
of
Wu,
wearing
a
black-and-white
traditional
Chinese
dress
known
as
qipao.
The
background
was
painted
with
an
ancient,
highly
valued
color
historically
used
in
artistic
depictions
of
angels
and
nobleness.
During
a
career
of
more
than
40
years
in
a
field
dominated(主宰)
by
men,
Wu
proved
herself
as
the
expert
on
marking
research
to
test
fundamental(基础的)
theories
of
physics.
In
1944,
Wu
accepted
a
position
under
the
Division
of
War
Research
at
Columbia
University
working
for
the
Manhattan
project.
Carrying
out
highly
secret
research
for
the
production
of
the
world's
first
atomic
bomb,
Wu
made
invaluable
contributions
to
the
experimental
process
of
using
the
uranium
atom(铀原子).
After
the
war
ended,
Wu
stayed
on
at
Columbia
as
a
research
professor,
focusing
her
experimentation
on
beta
decay(β衰变).
With
imagination
and
careful
research,
she
created
a
more
precise
spectrometer(分光器)
to
finally
explain
the
problem
of
beta
decay,
one
that
had
troubled
physicists
in
America
and
across
Europe
for
many
years.
In
1956,
theoretical
physicists
Tsung-Dao
Lee
and
Chen-Ning
Yang
approached
Wu
for
help
in
developing
a
theory
that
challenged
the
foundational
law
of
conservation
of
parity(宇称守恒定律).
Wu
created
a
thoughtful
and
difficult
experiment
to
test
the
theory.
She
observed
that,
in
weak
interactions(弱相互作用),
parity
is
not
conserved-a
finding
that
helped
the
two
lead
physicists
earn
the
Nobel
Prize
in
Physics.
Art
director
Ethel
Kessler
designed
the
stamp
with
original
art
by
Kam
Mak.
The
Chien-Shiung
Wu
stamp
is
being
issued(发行)
as
a
Forever
stamp.
This
Forever
stamp
will
always
be
equal
in
value
to
the
current
First-Class
Mail
one-ounce
price.

第二节
（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have
you
ever
been
on
social
media
and
seen
your
favourite
superstars
talking
about
a
product?
These
endorsements(代言)
might
not
be
totally
accidental,
and
are
actually
seen
as
a
important
part
of
the
marketing
process.____16____.
Human
desire
for
making
friends,
combined
with
our
need
to
belong
to
a
group,
make
us
easy
to
be
‘socially
influenced’.
____17____.
So,
what
do
these
endorsements
actually
do?
Firstly,
they
can
be
used
to
build
brand(品牌)
awareness.
A
social
media
influencer
should
have
a
strong
understanding
of
the
platform
they
operate
on,
and
therefore
can
create
engaging
content
that
not
only
contributes
to
the
brand
image,
but
sparks
their
followers’
interests
in
a
product
they
might
never
have
seen
before.
Secondly,
influencers
can
improve
a
company
or
product’s
relationship
with
their
customer
base.
According
to
InMoment’s
2018
US
Retail
CX
Trends
Report
on
customer
loyalty,
77%
of
buyers
have
been
brand
loyal
for
more
than
ten
years.____18____.
A
popular
star
can
talk
or
blog
about
a
product,
which
can
create
an
instant
and
lasting
bond
with
the
consumer.
____19____.
We
are
more
likely
to
respond
to
‘peer
recommendation’
than
traditional
ads,
meaning
the
fact
we
see
an
influencer
as
a
‘friend’
can
make
us
less
likely
to
be
sceptical
about
what
we
are
seeing.
So,
the
next
time
you
see
a
celebrity
talking
about
a
product,
you
might
want
to
consider
it.____20____.
If
you
find
yourself
perusing(细看)
a
product
you’ve
seen
on
social
media,
you
may
well
have
been
influenced.
A.
Finally,
it’s
easier
said
than
done.
B.
This
is
also
true
of
60%
of
millennials(千禧一代).
C.
The
question
is:
where
can
we
find
the
information
of
it?
D.
So
how
do
social
media
influencers
‘influence’
what
you
buy?
E.
Lastly,
influencers
can
improve
customer
buying
habits
with
seemingly
‘fair
opinion’.
F.
It
could
be
a
carefully
crafted
marketing
strategy
designed
to
target
your
core
needs.
G.
Companies
often
use
that
desire
to
have
a
similar
lifestyle
to
a
celebrity
we
admire
to
hawk
or
launch
a
product.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了《纽约时报》发表一篇文章表明，尽管手机、电子邮件和互联网等现代技术让我们比以往任何时候都感觉到更紧密的联系，但这些设备也让我们离周围的人越来越远。年轻人们都忙着创建和维护自己的网络形象。但专家指出，我们作为现代技术的使用者，选择电子设备的使用，加强交流，才是人们相互理解的关键。
【36题详解】
考查连词。句意：文章表明，尽管手机、电子邮件和互联网发帖等技术让我们比以往任何时候都感觉到更紧密的联系，但这些设备也让我们离周围的人越来越远。本空无提示词。分析句子结构可知“technology
such
as
cell
phones,
e-mails,
and
Internet
posting
makes
us
feel
more
connected
than
ever”部分为让步状语从句，缺少引导从句的从属连词。根据语义，表示“尽管，虽然”。故填while/though/although。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：文章表明，尽管手机、电子邮件和互联网发帖等技术让我们比以往任何时候都感觉到更紧密的联系，但这些设备也让我们离周围的人越来越远。分析句子结构可知，此处作feel的表语，应用过去分词转化的形容词connected。故填connected。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意：用户们取得最终的联系是以面对面的对话为代价的。at
price
of为固定搭配，意为“以......的价格；以......代价”。故填at。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：她提到，沉迷于移动技术降低了我们与陌生人交谈和结识他人的机会。分析成分可知，此处应用动名词形式作宾语从句的主语。故填losing。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：她提到，沉迷于移动技术降低了我们与陌生人交谈和结识他人的机会。分析句子成分可知，“starting
conversations
with
strangers”与设空处由and连接，并列作介词of的宾语，故应用动名词形式。故填meeting。
【41题详解】
考查连词。句意：年轻人忙于创造或美化他们的网络人格，以至于忘记了如何过真实的生活。分析句子结构可知，此处使用“疑问词+不定式”的结构作宾语。根据句意，年轻人忘了如何过真实的生活。故填how。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：然而，专家提醒我们，指责移动技术是不公平的。根据句意，此处应填入“不公平的”，加否定前缀“un-”。故填unfair。
【43题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意：中国青少年研究中心的社会学专家陈晨指出，是移动技术的所有者在避免个人接触。分析句子成分可知，此句主语为“Chen
Chen”，是第三人称单数。同时根据从句判断整句时态为一般现在时。故填points。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：我们利用这些设备来躲避其他人。分析句子成分可知，设空处在句子中作目的状语，应用不定式。故填to
hide。

or②
parent③child④their。
49.

“Oh
boys,
don’t
throw
stones
at
the
poor
bird,”
said
an
old
grey-headed
man.
“Sir,”
said
a
little
fellow,
“she
makes
such
a
loud
noise
that
we
can’t
suffer
from
her.”
“Yes,
but
she
uses
the
voice
which
nature
gave
her,
and
I
am
afraid
the
stone
will
rebound(弹回),
and
hurt
you
as
long
as
you
live!”
“Rebound!
We
don’t
understand
you,
sir!”
“Well,
come
and
I
will
tell
you
a
story.”
“Is
it
a
true
story?”
“Yes,
every
word
is
true.”
“Fifty
years
ago,
I
was
a
boy
like
you.
I
used
to
throw
stones
very
accurately.”?
“One
day
I
went
to
work
for
an
old
couple.
They
were
very
kind
to
everybody
and
everything.
Few
had
so
many
birds
making
their
nests
under
the
roofs
of
their
houses.
The
birds
seemed
to
love
the
couple.
For
seven
years
a
bird
had
come,
after
the
long
winter
was
over,
and
built
her
nest
in
the
same
place,
and
raised
her
young
chicks
there.
She
and
her
mate
had
just
returned
when
I
went
there
to
work,
and
the
couple
welcomed
them
heartily.”
“During
the
day,
I
thought
I
would
try
my
skill
upon
her.
She
sat
on
a
pole
and
looked
at
me
trustfully.
I
found
a
nice
stone,
and
I
threw
it
with
my
utmost
skill.
It
struck
the
bird
on
the
head
and
she
dropped
dead!”
“I
said
nothing
to
the
old
couple
about
it.
But
one
of
their
grandchildren
told
them
what
I
had
done.
I
could
never
look
at
them
in
the
face
afterwards.
Oh,
that
I
should
have
told
them
how
sorry
I
was!”
“They
have
been
dead
many
years,
and
so
has
the
poor
bird;
but
don’t
you
see
how
that
stone
rebounded,
and
hit
me?
How
much
the
memory
of
it
has
hurt
me!
My
dear
boys,
I
would
pay
a
great
deal
today
if
I
could
undo
what
I
did!
“For
fifty
years
I
have
remembered
it.
I
have
never
spoken
of
it
before,
but
if
what
my
words
will
prevent
you
from
throwing
a
stone
that
may
rebound,
I
will
be
happy.”
The
boys
at
once
dropped
the
stones
they
had
in
their
hands
and
the
bird
had
no
more
trouble
from
them.
4.
Why
did
the
boy
throw
stones
at
the
bird?
A.
Because
she
was
too
noisy
to
the
boy.
B.
Because
she
had
a
voice
nature
gave
her.
C.
Because
the
stone
always
rebounded
to
the
boy.
D.
Because
the
boy
wanted
the
old
man
to
tell
him
a
story.

man

bird,
he
felt________.

C
For
some
people
there’s
no
better
companion
than
man’s
best
friend
—
a
dog.
This
four-legged
canine
can
bring
comfort
and
joy
and
provide
much-needed
exercise
for
you
when
it
needs
walkies!
This
probably
explains
why
dog
ownership
increased
last
year
because
people
spent
more
time
at
home
during
the
coronavirus
pandemic
lockdown.
It
was
demand
for
puppies
in
particular
that
saw
the
biggest
increase.
Who
couldn’t
resist
their
playful
personalities,
adorable
eyes,
and
super-soft
coats?
However,
as
demand
for
a
new
pooch
increased,
so
did
the
price
tag.
Popular
breeds,
such
as
Cockapoos
and
Cocker
Spaniels,
saw
even
sharper
price
increases,
and
puppies
have
been
selling
for
?3,000
or
more.
Animal
welfare
charities
fear
that
high
prices
could
encourage
puppy
farming,
smuggling
(贩卖)
or
dog
theft.
And
a
BBC
investigation
found
some
breeders
have
been
selling
puppies
(幼犬)
and
kittens
on
social
media
sites
—
something
charities
have
called
“extremely
irresponsible”.
But
despite
some
new
owners
purchasing
a
dog
legally,
maybe
from
a
rescue
centre
or
registered
breeder,
they’ve
proved
to
be
ill-prepared
for
life
with
a
new
pet,
and
the
pet
itself
has
found
it
hard
to
come
to
terms
with
life
in
a
new
home.
Animal
behaviourists
in
the
UK
have
reported
a
surge
in
requests
to
help
dogs
suffering
from
fear-aggression
(害怕攻击)
after
their
lives
have
been
turned
upside
down.
Looking
to
the
future,
there
are
concerns
about
the
welfare
(幸福安康)
of
these
much-loved
pets.
Ian
Atkin,
manager
of
the
Oxfordshire
Animal
Sanctuary
in
the
UK,
told
the
BBC:
“At
the
moment,
the
dogs
are
having
a
great
time,
but
separation
anxiety
could
still
surface
when
people
go
back
to
work.”
And
Claire
Calder
from
the
UK’s
Dogs
Trust
rescue
charity
says
“the
economic
situation
also
means
that
some
people
may
find
they
can’t

This
new
Forever
stamp
from
the
U.S.
Postal
Service
honors
Dr.
Chien-Shiung
Wu(1912-1997),
one
of
the
most
influential
nuclear
physicists
of
the
20th
century.
The
stamp
art
features
a
detailed
portrait
of
Wu
wearing
a
black-and-white
traditional
Chinese
dress
known
as
qipao.
The
background
was
painted
with
an
ancient,
highly
valued
color
historically
used
in
artistic
depictions
of
angels
and
nobleness.
During
a
career
of
more
than
40
years
in
a
field
dominated(主宰)
by
men,
Wu
proved
herself
as
the
expert
on
marking
research
to
test
fundamental(基础的)
theories
of
physics.
In
1944,
Wu
accepted
a
position
under
the
Division
of
War
Research
at
Columbia
University
working
for
the
Manhattan
project.
Carrying
out
highly
secret
research
for
the
production
of
the
world's
first
atomic
bomb,
Wu
made
invaluable
contributions
to
the
experimental
process
of
using
the
uranium
atom(铀原子).
After
the
war
ended,
Wu
stayed
on
at
Columbia
as
a
research
professor,
focusing
her
experimentation
on
beta
decay(β衰变).
With
imagination
and
careful
research,
she
created
a
more
precise
spectrometer(分光器)
to
finally
explain
the
problem
of
beta
decay,
one
that
had
troubled
physicists
in
America
and
across
Europe
for
many
years.
In
1956,
theoretical
physicists
Tsung-Dao
Lee
and
Chen-Ning
Yang
approached
Wu
for
help
in
developing
a
theory
that
challenged
the
foundational
law
of
conservation
of
parity(宇称守恒定律).
Wu
created
a
thoughtful
and
difficult
experiment
to
test
the
theory.
She
observed
that,
in
weak
interactions(弱相互作用),
parity
is
not
conserved-a
finding
that
helped
the
two
lead
physicists
earn
the
Nobel
Prize
in
Physics.
Art
director
Ethel
Kessler
designed
the
stamp
with
original
art
by
Kam
Mak.
The
Chien-Shiung
Wu
stamp
is
being
issued(发行)
as
a
Forever
stamp.
This
Forever
stamp
will
always
be
equal
in
value
to
the
current
First-Class
Mail
one-ounce
price.

第二节
（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have
you
ever
been
on
social
media
and
seen
your
favourite
superstars
talking
about
a
product?
These
endorsements(代言)
might
not
be
totally
accidental,
and
are
actually
seen
as
a
important
part
of
the
marketing
process.____16____.
Human
desire
for
making
friends,
combined
with
our
need
to
belong
to
a
group,
make
us
easy
to
be
‘socially
influenced’.
____17____.
So,
what
do
these
endorsements
actually
do?
Firstly,
they
can
be
used
to
build
brand(品牌)
awareness.
A
social
media
influencer
should
have
a
strong
understanding
of
the
platform
they
operate
on,
and
therefore
can
create
engaging
content
that
not
only
contributes
to
the
brand
image,
but
sparks
their
followers’
interests
in
a
product
they
might
never
have
seen
before.
Secondly,
influencers
can
improve
a
company
or
product’s
relationship
with
their
customer
base.
According
to
InMoment’s
2018
US
Retail
CX
Trends
Report
on
customer
loyalty,
77%
of
buyers
have
been
brand
loyal
for
more
than
ten
years.____18____.
A
popular
star
can
talk
or
blog
about
a
product,
which
can
create
an
instant
and
lasting
bond
with
the
consumer.
____19____.
We
are
more
likely
to
respond
to
‘peer
recommendation’
than
traditional
ads,
meaning
the
fact
we
see
an
influencer
as
a
‘friend’
can
make
us
less
likely
to
be
sceptical
about
what
we
are
seeing.
So,
the
next
time
you
see
a
celebrity
talking
about
a
product,
you
might
want
to
consider
it.____20____.
If
you
find
yourself
perusing(细看)
a
product
you’ve
seen
on
social
media,
you
may
well
have
been
influenced.
A.
Finally,
it’s
easier
said
than
done.
B.
This
is
also
true
of
60%
of
millennials(千禧一代).
C.
The
question
is:
where
can
we
find
the
information
of
it?
D.
So
how
do
social
media
influencers
‘influence’
what
you
buy?
E.
Lastly,
influencers
can
improve
customer
buying
habits
with
seemingly
‘fair
opinion’.
F
It
could
be
a
carefully
crafted
marketing
strategy
designed
to
target
your
core
needs.
G.
Companies
often
use
that
desire
to
have
a
similar
lifestyle
to
a
celebrity
we
admire
to
hawk
or
launch
a
product.

one
of
the
most
____24____
places

of
sea
water.
