【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了对联的起源、特点及内容。
56考查名词作宾语。句意：作为中国文学的一种形式，对联是指遵循一定规则的两行诗，通常写在红纸上供欣赏，内容和风格各不相同。设空处位于介词fr后面充当宾语，所以要用 名词形式。故填appreciatin。
57考查现在分词作定语。句意：作为中国文学的一种形式，对联是指遵循一定规则的两行诗，通常写在红纸上供欣赏，内容和风格各不相同。根据设空前的and可知，设空处与前面的现在分词beying并列，在句中充当定语。故填varying。
58考查并列连词。句意：一般来说，有些表达了人们对祖国的热爱，有些描述了大自然的美丽，还有一些表达了对来年的美好祝愿。根据句意可知，设空后的句子与前面的句子构成并列关系，所以要用并列连词and。故填and。
59考查一般过去时。句意：对联起源于五代，在明清时期变得普遍。分析句子成分可知，句子缺少谓语动词，所以设空处充当谓语；根据时间状语in the Ming and Qing Dynasties可知，句子要用一般过去时。故填became。
60考查不定式作主语。句意：在春节期间，人们有挂桃木符咒驱邪的习俗。观察句子结构可知，此处考查固定搭配it+be+n+fr sb.t d sth.，意为“做某事对某人而言是……”，其中it是形式主语，t d 是真正的主语。故填t hang。
61考查介词短语。句意：如今，对联的用法与此类似。根据句意可知，此处考查固定搭配in a …way，意为“用……方法”。故填in。
62考查形容词最高级。句意：据说，最早的对联是由后舒国的国王徐氏所写，在北宋时期非常流行。根据设空前的the及设空后的名词cuplets可知，此处要用形容词的最高级。故填earliest。
63考查副词作状语。句意：据说，最早的对联是由后舒国的国王徐氏所写，在北宋时期非常流行。设空处位于形容词ppular前面起修饰作用，所以要用副词形式。故填extremely。
64考查现在完成时的被动语态。句意：自明代以来，写对联就被视为文人雅士有文化生活的标志。分析句子成分可知，句子缺少谓语动词，所以设空处充当谓语；根据句子中的since可知，句子要用现在完成时；句子主语t write cuplets与谓语动词regard之间是被动关系，所以要用现在完成时的被动语态。故填has been regarded。
65．考查定冠词。句意：总的来说，每行的字符数可以从4个到7个不等，每行长度相同。此处特指每一行的字符数量，所以要用定冠词the，the number f意为“……的数量”。故填the。

原文In 2014, Amazn released the wrld’s first vice-cntrlled “smart assistant”, called the Ech. It perfrmed a variety f functins, including setting alarms, creating t-d lists, and prviding real-time infrmatin such as weather, traffic and ther news. Tw years later, Ggle came ut with the $180 Ggle Hme. In 2017, the ty cmpany Mattel came ut with Aristtle, their idea f a persnal assistant, aimed at kids. If yu are in the market fr ne f these smart assistants, there are a number f things t cnsider. Fr instance, Ggle Hme can answer a wide variety f questins and has a music library f 35 millin sngs. It als has many functins that wrk well with the TV, and is $50 cheaper than Amazn Ech. Ech can all be perated just by vice cmmand. It has a music library f 2 millin sngs. Mattel’s Aristtle can d mst f what the ther tw can, but is meant t be mre f a persnal cmpanin t children. It can be used as a baby camera in yur child’s early years, and still be useful until arund middle schl. It plays interactive games with them, reads t them, and serves as an instructinal resurce as the children grw up. In summary, all three have their benefits.
