Andrea Speranza wanted to be a firefighter long before she had the right word for her wish. After one childhood adventure at a construction site ended with a brake lever inserted in her leg, and an emergency call to the fire department, she found herself in amazement. “As they gave basic medical treatment to me, I thought they help everybody and they can do anything,” says the now 52-year-old from Toronto, Canada.
In 2000, Speranza fulfilled her dream of becoming a firefighter, joining the Halifax Regional Fire Service. Her job was exactly as fulfilling as she imagined it would be, except for one thing: she still hadn’t seen another woman in her role, not in a magazine, not on television, not in real life. Even today, less than five percent of firefighters in Canada are women. Speranza decided that she wanted to help young women see that they, too, could have a career like hers.
The result is Camp Courage, a program for girls aged 15 to 19 who want to learn more about firefighting, and police work. In 2006, Speranza and about 20 volunteers welcomed their first 17 participants, recruiting(招募) attendees through advertising in schools and recreation centres. Over the course of eight days, the girls discover the ins and outs of being first responders: learning how to put out fires, delivering first aid and even using the jaws of life on a car.
Camp Courage now runs one session every year in Halifax and is free to attend. Hundreds of girls have now passed through Camp Courage, and 36 percent are doing exactly what Speranza hoped they would: working as first responders across the country.
“I used to think that it’s awesome that I can be a firefighter and save all these people,”
Speranza says with a smile. But the opportunity to recruit other girls to save lives alongside her is what really keeps her going. “It’s not even measurable.”
24. What made Speranza want to be a firefighter?
A. Her dream as a baby. B. The emergency call.
C. Firefighters’ encouragement. D. Her admiration for firemen.
25. Why did Spreranza set up Camp Courage?
A. To create more jobs for women. B. To strengthen fire fighting force.
C. To see more females in her field. D. To improve the status of women.
26. What can we learn about Camp Courage?
A. It runs throughout the year. B. It attracts women of all ages.
C. It operates well and bears fruit. D. It provides training for firefighters.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. A female firefighter. B. An immeasurable career.
C. A good choice for women. D. A dream-building program.
C
Out on the graceful avenues and main roads of Paris, a battle has been approaching.
A century and a half after Baron Haussmann plowed (犁地) through the city to straighten out and broaden the narrow twisted streets, the Mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo, a kind of anti-Haussmann has slowly been reducing the size of main roads for years.
Part of her environmental plan is to clean up air pollution and make the city friendly for bicycles and other two wheeled vehicles like electric scooters (踏板车). “I think it could be a good idea - not to have cars in the town centers and the motorists who love four wheels. It’s a bit of a war of the bikes and scooters against cars,” the Mayor said. High speed lanes along the Seine, which people in the suburbs relied on to and from Paris each day, have been shut down to make room for joggers and cycles. This is part of a Paris Administration’s dream of getting rid of cars in Paris as much as possible.
The Mayor wants to transform the big space and today the big space is occupied by cars, and car drivers. “We have half of the public space in Paris, which is dedicated to cars,” she said. But for motorists, it is as bad as the reduction of the speed limit on most streets in town to 30 kilometers. The constant flashes of speed radar cameras bare witness to how many motorists just can’t bring themselves to go that slow. They say the reduced speed limits are just another way to get the cars out of the city.
The head of a motorist association claims commuters (通勤者) have no alternative but to use their cars because public transportation is overcrowded and often unreliable. And for those who live around Paris, it’s really unfair. They need their car, or they can’t go to work. It’s something incredible. And so while Paris has taken major action to rid the streets of automobiles and make the city more bicycle friendly, going green is not proving to be politically very simple.
28. What’s the purpose of the Mayor’s plan?
A. To object to Baron Haussmann. B. To create a greener city.
C. To start a war of bikes against cars. D. To get rid of cars in Paris.
29. What do the motorists think of the plan?
A. Debatable. B. Problem-solving.
C. Economical. D. Environment-friendly.
30. What’s the main difficulty of carrying out the plan?
A. The present road condition. B. Shortage of government funding.
C. Many unsolvable practical problems. D. Lack of public environmental awareness.
31. Which can be a suitable tile for the text?
A. Paris: A Livable City B. Paris: Cars or Bikes?
C. Paris: A Bicycle City D. Paris: Green is Coming!
D
Internet Explorer (IE) has finally been withdrawn from the market.
As of Wednesday, Microsoft would no longer support the once-dominant browser (浏览器) that the legion of web surfers loved to hate - and a few still claim to adore. The 27-year-old application now joins BlackBerry phones, dial-up modems and Palm Pilots in the dustbin of tech history.
IE’s exit was not a surprise. A year ago, Microsoft said that it was putting an end to Internet Explorer on June 15, 2022, pushing users to its Edge browser, which was launched in 2015. The company made clear that it was time to move on. “Not only is Microsoft Edge a faster, more secure and more modern browsing experience than Internet Explorer, but it is also able to address a key concern: compatibility (兼容) for older, legacy websites and applications,” Sean Lyndersay, general manager of Microsoft Edge Enterprise, wrote in a May 2021 blog post.
Users marked Explorer’s passing on Twitter, with some referring to it as a “bug-ridden, insecure POS” or the “top browser for installing other browsers.” For others it was a moment for 90’s memory, and The Wall Street Journal quoted a 27-year-old who was sad to see IE go. A Chinese user said that IE is nothing but corresponding with the changing tide of technology, as new things emerge in an endless stream on the Internet, and people are more likely to pursue advanced technical services, but IE’s presence could not be erased. While there are also netizens that believe that IE sitting back for another five years would not be a problem, just leave IE for those certification examinations, as some exams in China appointed IE registration website because of its compatibility.
“Welcome to Microsoft Edge from now on,” the official account of Microsoft Edge browser announced. Today, the Chrome browser dominates with roughly a 65 percent share of the worldwide browser market, followed by Apple’s Safari with 19 percent, according to internet analytics company Statcounter. IE’s heir (继承者), Edge, falls behind about 4 percent, just ahead of Firefox.
32. What does the underlined word “legion” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Users. B. Supporters. C. Masses. D. Applicants.
33. Which is the reason that Microsoft highly recommended Edge browser?
A Its users are tired of IE. B. It is much more powerful.
C. It is not easily substituted. D. It’s more to Chinese users’ taste.
34. Why is a Chinese user mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A. To emphasize IE’s special use in exams.
B. To prove the importance of Chinese market.
C. To deliver some people’s lasting love for IE.
D. To show the present situation of the Internet.
35. Where is the text most likely from?
A. A guidebook. B. A newspaper.
C. A history magazine. D. An official announcement.

W: We’re looking for waiters at the moment. There was one post for a cook, but that’s already been taken.
M: Oh right. Erm, what are the hours of work?
W: There are two different shifts — there’s a day shift from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. and a late shift from 4 p.m. till 11 p.m.
M: Okay. What about time off?
W: You get one day off every week.
M: Do you know what the rates of pay are?
W: Yes, I’ve got them here. You get £5.50 an hour, and that includes a break.
M: Do I have to go home to eat or...
W: You don’t have to. You can get a meal in the hotel if you want to, and there’s no charge for it.

【原文】W: Good morning. I’m very pleased to have this opportunity to say a little about an exciting new development in the city: the Brackenside Open-Air Swimming Pool. As many of the older members of the audience will remember, there used to be a wonderful open-air pool on the sea front 30 years ago but it had to close when it was judged to be unsafe. For the design of this new heated pool, we were very happy to secure the talents of internationally famous architect Ellen Wendon, who has managed to combine a charming 1930s design, which fits in so well with many of the other buildings in the area, with up-to-the-minute features such as a recycling system.
Now, there has been quite a bit of discussion in the local press about whether there would be enough room for the number of visitors we’re hoping to attract. We’re on schedule for a June 15th opening date and well within budget. We hope that as many people as possible will be there on June 15th. We have engaged award-winning actress Coral White to declare the pool open and there’ll be drinks and snacks available at the pool side. There’ll also be a competition for the public to decide on the sculpture we plan to have at the entrance: you will decide which famous historical figure from the city we should have.

Andrea Speranza wanted to be a firefighter long before she had the right word for her wish. After one childhood adventure at a construction site ended with a brake lever inserted in her leg, and an emergency call to the fire department, she found herself in amazement. “As they gave basic medical treatment to me, I thought they help everybody and they can do anything,” says the now 52-year-old from Toronto, Canada.
In 2000, Speranza fulfilled her dream of becoming a firefighter, joining the Halifax Regional Fire Service. Her job was exactly as fulfilling as she imagined it would be, except for one thing: she still hadn’t seen another woman in her role, not in a magazine, not on television, not in real life. Even today, less than five percent of firefighters in Canada are women. Speranza decided that she wanted to help young women see that they, too, could have a career like hers.
The result is Camp Courage, a program for girls aged 15 to 19 who want to learn more about firefighting, and police work. In 2006, Speranza and about 20 volunteers welcomed their first 17 participants, recruiting(招募) attendees through advertising in schools and recreation centres. Over the course of eight days, the girls discover the ins and outs of being first responders: learning how to put out fires, delivering first aid and even using the jaws of life on a car.
Camp Courage now runs one session every year in Halifax and is free to attend. Hundreds of girls have now passed through Camp Courage, and 36 percent are doing exactly what Speranza hoped they would: working as first responders across the country.
“I used to think that it’s awesome that I can be a firefighter and save all these people,”
Speranza says with a smile. But the opportunity to recruit other girls to save lives alongside her is what really keeps her going. “It’s not even measurable.”
24. What made Speranza want to be a firefighter?
A. Her dream as a baby. B. The emergency call.
C. Firefighters’ encouragement. D. Her admiration for firemen.
25. Why did Spreranza set up Camp Courage?
A. To create more jobs for women. B. To strengthen fire fighting force.
C. To see more females in her field. D. To improve the status of women.
26. What can we learn about Camp Courage?
A. It runs throughout the year. B. It attracts women of all ages.
C. It operates well and bears fruit. D. It provides training for firefighters.
27 What is the text mainly about?
A. A female firefighter. B. An immeasurable career.
C. A good choice for women. D. A dream-building program.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. C 27. A
【解析】

【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“After one childhood adventure at a construction site ended with a brake lever inserted in her leg, and an emergency call to the fire department, she found herself in amazement.(她童年时曾在一个建筑工地有一次冒险经历，结果她的腿上插入了一个刹车杆，还接到了消防部门的紧急电话，在此之后她很惊讶)”以及“I thought they help everybody and they can do anything(我认为他们可以帮助每个人，他们可以做任何事情)”可知，对消防员的钦佩使她想成为一名消防员。故选D。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Speranza decided that she wanted to help young women see that they, too, could have a career like hers.(Speranza决定，她要帮助年轻女性看到，她们也可以拥有像她那样的职业)”以及第三段中“The result is Camp Courage, a program for girls aged 15 to 19 who want to learn more about firefighting, and police work.(其结果就是‘勇气营’，这是一个面向15到19岁的女孩的项目，她们希望更多地了解消防和警察工作)”可知，Speranza创办“勇气营”是为了看到更多女性加入自己的领域。故选C。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Camp Courage now runs one session every year in Halifax and is free to attend. Hundreds of girls have now passed through Camp Courage, and 36 percent are doing exactly what Speranza hoped they would: working as first responders across the country.(‘勇气营’现在每在Halifax举办一次，免费参加。数百名女孩现在已经通过了‘勇气营’，其中36%的人正在做Speranza希望她们做的事情：在全国各地担任急救人员)”可知，“勇气营” 每年举办一次，数百名女孩已经通过并在全国各地担任急救人员，由此可推知“勇气营”运营良好，硕果累累。故选C。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了加拿大的一位女性消防员Andrea Speranza，由于自己所在的领域女性很少，她创办了“勇气营”，帮助很多女性成为消防和急救人员，A项“一位女性消防员”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选A。

Out on the graceful avenues and main roads of Paris, a battle has been approaching.
A century and a half after Baron Haussmann plowed (犁地) through the city to straighten out and broaden the narrow twisted streets, the Mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo, a kind of anti-Haussmann has slowly been reducing the size of main roads for years.
Part of her environmental plan is to clean up air pollution and make the city friendly for bicycles and other two wheeled vehicles like electric scooters (踏板车). “I think it could be a good idea - not to have cars in the town centers and the motorists who love four wheels. It’s a bit of a war of the bikes and scooters against cars,” the Mayor said. High speed lanes along the Seine, which people in the suburbs relied on to and from Paris each day, have been shut down to make room for joggers and cycles. This is part of a Paris Administration’s dream of getting rid of cars in Paris as much as possible.
The Mayor wants to transform the big space and today the big space is occupied by cars, and car drivers. “We have half of the public space in Paris, which is dedicated to cars,” she said. But for motorists, it is as bad as the reduction of the speed limit on most streets in town to 30 kilometers. The constant flashes of speed radar cameras bare witness to how many motorists just can’t bring themselves to go that slow. They say the reduced speed limits are just another way to get the cars out of the city.
The head of a motorist association claims commuters (通勤者) have no alternative but to use their cars because public transportation is overcrowded and often unreliable. And for those who live around Paris, it’s really unfair. They need their car, or they can’t go to work. It’s something incredible. And so while Paris has taken major action to rid the streets of automobiles and make the city more bicycle friendly, going green is not proving to be politically very simple.
28. What’s the purpose of the Mayor’s plan?
A. To object to Baron Haussmann. B. To create a greener city.
C. To start a war of bikes against cars. D. To get rid of cars in Paris.
29. What do the motorists think of the plan?
A. Debatable. B. Problem-solving.
C. Economical. D. Environment-friendly.
30. What’s the main difficulty of carrying out the plan?
A. The present road condition. B. Shortage of government funding.
C. Many unsolvable practical problems. D. Lack of public environmental awareness.
31. Which can be a suitable tile for the text?
A. Paris: A Livable City B. Paris: Cars or Bikes?
C. Paris: A Bicycle City D. Paris: Green is Coming!
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了在巴黎的大道和主要道路上，以奥斯曼男爵为代表的汽车群体和以市长为代表的自行车群体展开了对道路的争夺战。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段首句“Part of her environmental plan is to clean up air pollution and make the city friendly for bicycles and other two wheeled vehicles like electric scooters (踏板车). (她的环保计划的一部分是净化空气污染，使城市更适合自行车和其他两轮车辆，如电动摩托车)”可知，市长计划的目的打造绿色城市。故选B。
【29题详解】
观点态度题。根据第四段第三句“But for motorists, it is as bad as the reduction of the speed limit on most streets in town to 30 kilometers. (但对驾车者来说，这和城里大多数街道的限速降至30公里一样糟糕。)”以及末段首句“The head of a motorist association claims commuters (通勤者) have no alternative but to use their cars because public transportation is overcrowded and often unreliable. (一个汽车协会的负责人声称，通勤者别无选择，只能使用他们的汽车，因为公共交通拥挤，而且经常不可靠。)”可知，市长的绿色城市计划对驾车者来说，很糟糕，而且他们有时上班是不得不开车的。所以，驾车者认为这个计划是有待商榷的。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据末段首句“The head of a motorist association claims commuters (通勤者) have no alternative but to use their cars because public transportation is overcrowded and often unreliable. (一个汽车协会的负责人声称，通勤者别无选择，只能使用他们的汽车，因为公共交通拥挤，而且经常不可靠。)”以及末句“And so while Paris has taken major action to rid the streets of automobiles and make the city more bicycle friendly, going green is not proving to be politically very simple. (因此，尽管巴黎已经采取了重大行动，减少街道上的汽车，让这座城市对自行车更加友好，但从政治角度来看，绿色环保并不是一件简单的事情。)”可知，计划的实施需要解决通勤者上班的问题以及从政治角度的一些问题。故选C。
【31题详解】
标题判断题。根据首段“Out on the graceful avenues and main roads of Paris, a battle has been approaching. (在巴黎优美的大道和主要道路上，一场战斗正在逼近。)”和第二段“A century and a half after Baron Haussmann plowed (犁地) through the city to straighten out and broaden the narrow twisted streets, the Mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo, a kind of anti-Haussmann has slowly been reducing the size of main roads for years. (一个半世纪前，奥斯曼男爵在巴黎清理和拓宽了狭窄扭曲的街道，巴黎市长安妮·伊达尔戈，一种反奥斯曼的人，多年来一直在慢慢缩小主要道路的规模。)”可知，在巴黎的大道和主要道路上，以奥斯曼男爵为代表的汽车群体和以市长为代表的自行车群体展开了对道路的争夺战。故选B。
D
Internet Explorer (IE) has finally been withdrawn from the market.
As of Wednesday, Microsoft would no longer support the once-dominant browser (浏览器) that the legion of web surfers loved to hate - and a few still claim to adore. The 27-year-old application now joins BlackBerry phones, dial-up modems and Palm Pilots in the dustbin of tech history.
IE’s exit was not a surprise. A year ago, Microsoft said that it was putting an end to Internet Explorer on June 15, 2022, pushing users to its Edge browser, which was launched in 2015. The company made clear that it was time to move on. “Not only is Microsoft Edge a faster, more secure and more modern browsing experience than Internet Explorer, but it is also able to address a key concern: compatibility (兼容) for older, legacy websites and applications,” Sean Lyndersay, general manager of Microsoft Edge Enterprise, wrote in a May 2021 blog post.
Users marked Explorer’s passing on Twitter, with some referring to it as a “bug-ridden, insecure POS” or the “top browser for installing other browsers.” For others it was a moment for 90’s memory, and The Wall Street Journal quoted a 27-year-old who was sad to see IE go. A Chinese user said that IE is nothing but corresponding with the changing tide of technology, as new things emerge in an endless stream on the Internet, and people are more likely to pursue advanced technical services, but IE’s presence could not be erased. While there are also netizens that believe that IE sitting back for another five years would not be a problem, just leave IE for those certification examinations, as some exams in China appointed IE registration website because of its compatibility.
“Welcome to Microsoft Edge from now on,” the official account of Microsoft Edge browser announced. Today, the Chrome browser dominates with roughly a 65 percent share of the worldwide browser market, followed by Apple’s Safari with 19 percent, according to internet analytics company Statcounter. IE’s heir (继承者), Edge, falls behind about 4 percent, just ahead of Firefox.
32. What does the underlined word “legion” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Users. B. Supporters. C. Masses. D. Applicants.
33. Which is the reason that Microsoft highly recommended Edge browser?
A. Its users are tired of IE. B. It is much more powerful.
C. It is not easily substituted. D. It’s more to Chinese users’ taste.
34. Why is a Chinese user mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A. To emphasize IE’s special use in exams.
B. To prove the importance of Chinese market.
C. To deliver some people’s lasting love for IE.
D. To show the present situation of the Internet.
35. Where is the text most likely from?
A. A guidebook. B. A newspaper.
C. A history magazine. D. An official announcement.
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述IE浏览器退出市场，退出市场的原因和当前浏览器市场的形势。
【32题详解】
词义猜测题。根据下文“and a few still claim to adore(但仍有少数人声称对它情有独钟)”可推断上文the legion of web surfers loved to hate，意思是“许多网民对它恨之入绝”，由此推断legion意为“网民，民众”， A. Users.使用者；B. Supporters.支持者；C. Masses.民众；D. Applicants.申请人，故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“As of Wednesday, Microsoft would no longer support the once-dominant browser (浏览器) that the legion of web surfers loved to hate - and a few still claim to adore.(从周三开始，微软将不再支持这个一度占据主导地位浏览器，许多网民对它恨之入绝，但仍有少数人声称对它情有独钟。)”和第三段“IE’s exit was not a surprise. A year ago, Microsoft said that it was putting an end to Internet Explorer on June 15, 2022, pushing users to its Edge browser, which was launched in 2015. (IE的退出并不令人意外。一年前，微软表示将于2022年6月15日停止使用IE浏览器，将用户推向2015年推出的Edge浏览器。) ”可知微软极力推荐Edge浏览器是因为用户已经厌倦了IE浏览器。故选A。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“A Chinese user said that IE is nothing but corresponding with the changing tide of technology, as new things emerge in an endless stream on the Internet, and people are more likely to pursue advanced technical services, but IE’s presence could not be erased.(一位中国用户表示，IE只是顺应了技术潮流的变化，互联网上新事物层出不穷，人们更倾向于追求先进的技术服务，但IE的存在是无法抹去的。)”可知，IE浏览器退市是顺应潮流。因此提到该用户是为了表明互联网的现状，故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其第一段“Internet Explorer (IE) has finally been withdrawn from the market. (IE浏览器终于退出市场。)”可知本文讲述IE浏览器退出市场，退出市场的原因和当前浏览器市场的形势，符合新闻特点，所以最有可能出现在报纸上。故选B。

Annoyed with a loved one? Practice the “self-reflection push-up.”
Feeling hurt, annoyed or angry with someone else’s behavior might reflect something. ____37____ Anhalt suggests practicing an exercise she calls the “self-reflection push-up.” This push-up uses the “3 Js, which stand for join, jealous (嫉妒) and judge” to guide you.

For instance, if you’re annoyed with your friend for being selfish, you might realize that you’ve behaved the same way.
____38____ Befriend tough emotions.
As humans, we’re born to avoid pain. When uncomfortable emotions arise, we may try to distract (分散) ourselves from feeling bad. We may wander through social media or on Netflix. These strategies are called “defenses”. However, we can’t merely rely on defenses. ____39____
When upset emotions arise, try to befriend your feelings. Start by naming your emotions, a technique psychologists call “affect labeling.” The goal isn’t to change the emotion, but to bring awareness to how it feels in the moment. ____40____ By understanding them, we can uncover the cause of suffering.
A. Feeling down?
B. Unsatisfied with a bad result?
C. That’s what we dislike about ourselves.
D. Emotional fitness can benefit stress management.

【38题详解】
根据下文“Befriend tough emotions.(和难过的情绪做朋友)”可推知上文提到了难过情绪，A 项“Feeling down?( 情绪低落？)”符合题意，故选A 项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了2022年卡塔尔世界杯中，中国公司介入场馆设施建设、高科技介入等，在全球受疫情影响导致经济增速放缓的背景下，依然保持正常运转。
【61题详解】
考查名词。句意：2022年卡塔尔世界杯20日在海湾球场拉开帷幕。从比赛球场，到供水网络，再到清洁能源科技，“中国制造”闪亮登场，惊艳了全世界。根据空白处前面的形容词短语“Chinese-made(中国制造的)”以及后面的介词短语“from stadiums to water supply systems and clean energy technologies(从比赛球场，到供水网络，再到清洁能源科技)”可知，空白处应填名词复数，故填products。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中不做谓语，应使用非谓语动词形式，与其逻辑主语之间为主动关系，应使用现在分词形式，故填impressing。
【63题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：中国以这种方式参与了本届世界杯以及之前的锦标赛，并且在即将到来的赛事中继续如此：为运动员和观众提供设施和服务。根据下文“tournaments before(之前的锦标赛)”可知，此处在把现在的世界杯和之前的锦标赛进行时间上的比较，应使用形容词的比较级，故填earlier。
【64题详解】
考查名词性从句。句意：使得卡塔尔世界杯与众不同的是中国提供的高科技技术。分析句子结构，本句为复合句，从句为主语从句，因空白处在主语从句中做主语，再根据句意，从句表示的是内容，应使用what引导，故填What。
【65题详解】
考查动词语态。句意：本届世界杯的主场馆，卢赛尔体育场，由卡塔尔和中国铁建于去年联合建造。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作谓语，因主语Lusail Stadium与谓语动词construct之间为被动关系，应使用被动语态，根据时间状语last year可知，be动词应使用一般过去时单数形式，故填was constructed。
【66题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：外形像椰枣碗和搪瓷灯笼的场馆是第一个可移动的绿色体育场。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中不作谓语，需使用非谓语动词形式。因动词shape与逻辑主语The stadium之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，应使用过去分词形式，故填shaped。
【67题详解】
考查介词。句意：另外，中国建造了800MW光伏电站，持续将充足的阳光转变为电能供中东地区的体育馆使用，这展示出了中国在过去的十年里取得的进步。分析句子结构，turn…into为固定结构，意为“将……转变为……”，故填into。
【68题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：同上。分析句子结构，本句为复合句，从句为定语从句，空白处在定语从句中作谓语，因定语从句表达的是一个客观事实，谓语动词应使用一般现在时，which指代前文描述的事情，谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式，故填shows。
【69题详解】
考查it作形式宾语。句意：使中国公司能够在世界杯上有上佳表现的另一个原因，是中国在全球经济衰退中展示出了良好的经济增长。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作宾语，但是真正的宾语是后面的“for Chinese firms to perform well in the World Cup(中国公司能够在世界杯上有上佳表现)”，因此空白处做形式宾语，故填it。
【70题详解】
考查名词。句意：同上。分析句子结构，本句为表语从句，从属于主句，空白处在表语从句中作宾语，应使用名词形式，故填growth。

I seldom helped with the housework in 2020, which I was in Senior One. Word couldn’t describe how sorry I am, so I thought about what I could do. One weekend, I carried out my housework plan range from tidying up rooms to cooking meals. Early in the morning, I gave the house a thoroughly cleaning. After that, I decided to make a delicious lunch with my parents. Recalling how my mother cooked, I finished them. My parents were surprising to see what I had done and gave me hug. Tired as I was, I understood all the things my parents had been done for me.
【答案】1.which→when
2.word→words
3.am→was
4.range→ranging
5.thoroughly→thorough
6.with→for
7.them→it
8.surprising→surprised
9.hug前加a
10.去掉been

【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，讲述了作者做家务的经历，从而明白了父母为他的付出。
【详解】1.考查定语从句关系词。句意：我在2020年很少帮忙做家务，那时我在上高一。分析句子可知，逗号后的部分为非限制性定语从句，先行词为2020年，为时间，作其后从句的时间状语，用when引导定语从句，而不是which。故将which改为when。
2.考查名词。句意：言语无法形容我有多抱歉，所以我想我能做些什么。根据语境可知，此处表示“言语”，一般用word的复数形式words。故将word改为words。
3.考查动词时态。句意同上。根据couldn’t和thought可知，本句时态为一般过去时，be动词am应改为过去式was。故将am改为was。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意：一个周末，我执行了我的家务计划，从整理房间到做饭。分析句子可知，本句已有谓语动词carried out，range from修饰plan，用非谓语动词，plan与range构成主动关系，用现在分词ranging作后置定语。故将range改为ranging。
5.考查形容词。句意：一大早，我把房子彻底打扫了一下。修饰cleaning用形容词，thoroughly为副词，对应的形容词为thorough。故将thoroughly改为thorough。
6.考查介词。句意：在那之后，我决定为父母做一顿美味的午餐。根据句意可知，此处表示“为了……做午餐”，用介词for，不用with。故将with改为for。

7.考查代词。句意：回想起妈妈做饭的样子，我把它做完了。根据句意可知，finished的宾语指的是“午餐”，用it指代，而不用them指代。故将them改为it。
8.考查形容词。句意：我的父母看到我所做的一切很惊讶，给了我一个拥抱。根据句意可知，父母看到我所做的很惊讶，表示人的感情用surprised。故将surprising改为surprised。
9.考查冠词。句意同上。根据语境可知，表示“一个拥抱”，用不定冠词，hug以辅音音素开始发音，不定冠词用a。故在hug前面加a。
10.考查动词时态。句意：虽然我很累，但我理解父母为我所做的一切。分析句子可知，parents与do是主动关系，不是被动关系，had been done为过去完成时的被动语态，此处应将been去掉。故将been去掉。
