Wendell Berry was almst 30 when he packed up his life as a New Yrk intellectual (知识分子) and mved t Prt Ryal, a tiny cmmunity in Kentucky where generatins f his frebears (祖先) had farmed the land. His friends thught he was’ mad. But he felt it was his inner calling t recrd the histry f the place.
Since mving t Prt Ryal in 1964, he has lived as if he were in the 19th century, writing by hand and plughing (犁) his fields with hrses. His eight nvels and mre than SO shrt stries are usually set in Prt William, a stand-in (代替物) fr Prt-Ryal. Nick Offerman, an actr, wanted t adapt his wrk fr the screen. Hwever, the zétr was refused.
In Mr Berry’s pinin, humans must take care f the earth that grants them life. “The sil is the greatest cnnectr f lives,” he has written. “Withut prper care fr it we can have n cmmunity.” This philsphy dminates his writings. In The Unsettling f America, published in 1977, Mr Berry criticized the natural damage caused by large agribusinesses. He thinks capitalism has separated farming frm culture and discnnected peple frm nature.
Mr Berry’s fictin explres the decline f values by fllwing Prt William’s intercnnected clans (家族) as they enter the mdern age. In Dismemberment, a shrt stry, Andy Catlett lses a hand t a harvesting machine and becmes a lner. He sees his withdrawal is mistaken and recnnects with the twn, finding “the wealth f an intimate histry” in belnging t “his ancestral place”. In Hannah Culter, Mr Berry’s seventh nvel, the main character Hannah Culter grws ld after a sad life and anticipates lneliness when her children leave t find wrk in the city. Instead her hpe is restred when her grandsn return s t run the farm.
These stries ffer insightful advice fr readers living thrugh eclgical disaster. Thugh few can return t farming basics, Mr Berry’s messages f building cmmunities, being a gd neighbr and resisting the invitatin f mdern life are still valuable.
4. Why did Mr Berry’s friends think he was mad?
A. He mved t live in the cuntryside.B. He turned dwn Offerman’s request.
C. He wrte mst f his nvels by hand.D. He gave up his career as an intellectual.
5. What d Mr Berry’s writings ften imply?
A. The challenges f farming in ld days.B. The harmny between man and nature.
C. The real benefits f large agribusinesses.D. The hard lives f his frebears in Kentucky.
6. What d Andy Catlett and Hannah Culter have in cmmn?
A. They are frm the same nvel.B. They bth chse t live alne.
C. They are victims f cuntry life.D. They bth find their values again.
7. What kind f life may suit Mr Berry’s taste best?
A. Rural life with mdern facilities.B. Urban life in ld-fashined ways.
C. Rural life with pr equipment.D. Rural life with distant cnnectins.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Wendell Berry放弃纽约知识分子的生活,搬到肯塔基州的一个小社区Prt Ryal,以写作和耕种为生,他的作品通常以Prt William为背景,批判大农业企业对自然的破坏,强调人与自然的和谐共处,并通过故事向读者提供生态灾难中的生活建议。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Wendell Berry was almst 30 when he packed up his life as a New Yrk intellectual (知识分子) and mved t Prt Ryal, a tiny cmmunity in Kentucky where generatins f his frebears (祖先) had farmed the land. His friends thught he was’ mad.( Wendell Berry快30岁时,结束了他在纽约知识分子的生活,搬到了肯塔基州的一个小社区——Prt Ryal,他的祖先世世代代都在那里耕种土地。他的朋友们都认为他疯了)”可知,Berry的朋友们认为他疯了是因为他放弃了作为知识分子的职业生涯,选择去乡下生活。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“In Mr Berry’s pinin, humans must take care f the earth that grants them life. ‘The sil is the greatest cnnectr f lives,’ he has written. ‘Withut prper care fr it we can have n cmmunity.’ This philsphy dminates his writings. (在Berry先生看来,人类必须照顾好赋予他们生命的地球。“土壤是生命之间最伟大的连接者,”他写道。“如果不妥善照顾它,我们就不可能有社区。”这种哲学主导了他的写作)”和第四段中提到的Berry的作品探索了随着Prt William的家族进入现代,价值观的衰落,并通过故事展示了人与自然的重新连接。由此可以推断出,Berry的作品经常暗示人与自然之间的和谐。故选B项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Andy Catlett lses a hand t a harvesting machine and becmes a lner. He sees his withdrawal is mistaken and recnnects with the twn, finding ‘the wealth f an intimate histry’ in belnging t ‘his ancestral place’. (Andy Catlett在收割机中失去了一只手,变成了一个孤独的人。他意识到自己的退缩是错误的,于是重新与镇子建立了联系,在属于自己的“祖先之地”中找到了“亲密历史的财富”)”和“the main character Hannah Culter grws ld after a sad life and anticipates lneliness when her children leave t find wrk in the city. Instead her hpe is restred when her grandsn returns t run the farm. (主角Hannah Culter在悲惨的一生后老去,当她的孩子们离开去城里找工作时,她预感到孤独。然而,当她的孙子回来经营农场时,她的希望又恢复了)”可知,Andy Catlett和Hannah Culter都经历了孤独和失落,但最终都重新找到了自己的归属感和价值。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Since mving t Prt Ryal in 1964, he has lived as if he were in the 19th century, writing by hand and plughing (犁) his fields with hrses. (自从1964年搬到Prt Ryal后,他的生活方式就像是在19世纪,用手写作,用马犁地)”、第三段中“In The Unsettling f America, published in 1977, Mr Berry criticized the natural damage caused by large agribusinesses. He thinks capitalism has separated farming frm culture and discnnected peple frm nature.(在1977年出版的《美国的不安》一书中,Berry批评了大型农业综合企业造成的自然破坏。他认为资本主义使农业与文化分离,使人与自然分离)”和最后一段中“Thugh few can return t farming basics, Mr Berry’s messages f building cmmunities, being a gd neighbr and resisting the invitatin f mdern life are still valuable.(虽然很少有人能回到农耕的基础,但Berry先生所传达的建立社区、做一个好邻居和抵制现代生活邀请的信息仍然很有价值)” 可知,Berry坚持用手写作和用马犁地,反对大型农业综合企业造成的自然破坏,这表明他更喜欢传统的、与自然紧密相连的乡村生活。可以推断出最适合Berry口味的生活是设备简陋但与自然紧密相连的乡村生活。故选C项。
C
I knw peple wh say they dn’t watch televisin, and I always nd and agree. Reading requires intelligence, and televisin is merely entertainment, right?
I’m ging t Sctland this year, and three different peple tld me I must watch “Outlander” befre I g, which is like “Game f Thrnes” fr fans f rmance nvels. I watched the first fur hurlng episdes back t back. When I std up frm the cuch I felt sick, and it wasn’t just the ckies, ppcrn and peanut butter sandwiches I’d had withut nticing. It was dark utside, and I felt ashamed. I had spent half a day n the cuch. Research fr Sctland? Nt exactly.
A few days later I had a library bk due: The Natinal Bk Award winner The Friend, by Sigrid Nunez. I needed t finish it, s I read the last half straight thrugh. I was absrbed in Nunez’s New Yrk City, wrrying abut the herin’s career and her future. I finished the bk with tears in my eyes and std up feeling, well, great.
I had wasted anther fur hurs n my cuch. I hadn’t eaten as much junk fd because I needed my hands free—and nt sticky—s I culd turn pages and return the bk t the library relatively clean, but I hadn’t mved and nce again it was dark utside. Why did I feel s much better and guilt-free?
All the research says reading a bk is gd fr yu. It reduces stress, prmtes cmprehensin and imaginatin, relieves depressin, helps yu sleep and may cntribute t preventing Alzheimer’s. The act f physically turning a page creates a mmentary pause fr understanding t sink in. Our brains have t wrk t translate the black squiggles (弯弯曲曲的线条) n the page int wrds and then interpret the meaning and intent f thse wrds. When a character is described as tall with brwn hair, a reader creates her wn picture. TV takes all that imaginatin away.
But there’s a lt f gd TV nw. I’d like t say the answer t TV versus bks must be, as Aristtle said, “Mderatin in all things,” thugh he never had a televisin r a cmputer and had t read his scrlls (长卷纸) by candlelight. I agree that t much televisin is bad fr yu. I knw I feel better if I read, but it wn’t stp me frm watching t: My secnd DVD f “Outlander” has just arrived, and as sn as I get this essay dne, the rest f my day is free.
8. By “I always nd and agree” (paragraph 1), the authr implies that _______.
A. she shuld be plite t get the cnversatin t g n
B. she is reluctant t admit that she watches televisin
C. she believes thse wh say they dn’t watch TV
D. she desn’t think highly f TV either
9. The phrase “back t back” (paragraph 2) is clsest in meaning t “_______”.
A. frm mrning till nightB. ne after anther withut a break
C. leaning against the back f the cuchD. lking at the ppsite directin
10. The authr felt better after reading The Friend than watching “Outlander”, mst prbably because _______.
A. she didn’t feel hungry fr any snacks
B. the TV series gt her t cancel her trip t Sctland
C. the televisin series was n mre attractive than the bk
D. she regarded reading as mre rewarding than watching TV
11. What can be cncluded frm all the research intrduced in paragraph 5?
A. Reading is active while watching TV is passive.
B. Reading invlves physical exercises while watching TV desn’t.
C. Reading stimulates the brain t cncentrate while watching TV desn’t.
D. Reading is gd fr ne’s mental health while watching TV is bad fr it.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,作者通过对比看四个小时的电视和书所带来的不同感觉来说明看书的好处。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。“I always nd and agree”的字面意思是“我总是点头表示同意”,根据第一段的“Reading requires intelligence, and televisin is merely entertainment(阅读需要智力,而电视仅仅是娱乐)”可知,作者说“I always nd and agree”暗示了作者对电视也评价不高,故选D。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段的“When I std up frm the cuch I felt sick, and it wasn’t just the ckies, ppcrn and peanut butter sandwiches I’d had withut nticing. It was dark utside, and I felt ashamed. I had spent half a day n the cuch.(当我从沙发上站起来的时候,我觉得不舒服,这不仅仅是因为我不知不觉吃了饼干、爆米花和花生酱三明治。外面很黑,我感到很惭愧。我在沙发上躺了半天。)”可知,作者在沙发上不停地看电视,也就是一集一集地不停地看,“back t back”意为“一个接一个,没有休息”,即ne after anther withut a break,故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段的“All the research says reading a bk is gd fr yu. It reduces stress, prmtes cmprehensin and imaginatin, relieves depressin, helps yu sleep and may cntribute t preventing Alzheimer’s. The act f physically turning a page creates a mmentary pause fr understanding t sink in. Our brains have t wrk t translate the black squiggles (弯弯曲曲的线条) n the page int wrds and then interpret the meaning and intent f thse wrds.(所有的研究都表明读书对你有好处。它可以减轻压力,促进理解和想象力,缓解抑郁,帮助睡眠,并可能有助于预防阿尔茨海默氏症。翻页的动作会让你有片刻的停顿来理解。我们的大脑必须工作,把书页上的黑色涂鸦翻译成文字,然后解释这些文字的含义和意图。)”可知,作者在看完The Friend后感觉比看“Outlander”好多了,很可能是因为她认为读书比看电视更有意义,故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段的“The act f physically turning a page creates a mmentary pause fr understanding t sink in. Our brains have t wrk t translate the black squiggles (弯弯曲曲的线条) n the page int wrds and then interpret the meaning and intent f thse wrds. When a character is described as tall with brwn hair, a reader creates her wn picture. TV takes all that imaginatin away.(翻页的动作会让你有片刻的停顿来理解。我们的大脑必须工作,把书页上的黑色涂鸦翻译成文字,然后解释这些文字的含义和意图。当一个人物被描述为高个子、棕色头发时,读者就会创造出自己的形象。电视剥夺了所有的想象力。)”可知,从第5段介绍的所有研究中可以得出的结论是阅读是主动的,而看电视是被动的。故选A。
D
Musk, Hawking, Gates — the tech giants have redubled their warnings abut hw we culd destry urselves with technlgy. But they’ re nt talking abut deliberately pushing buttns t trigger disaster. They mean accidentally killing urselves with smething that we invent fr ur benefit.
It’s a little embarrassing t have t admit that accidental deaths are increasing in a wrld that ur ancestrs made safer fr hundreds f years. Our grandpareats saw the inventin f the autmbile, the bulldzer (推土机) and s n, and they made them all safer. Hwever, nwadays, we put a smartphne n every hand, and nw mre than 1000 distractin-related crashes happen n ur rads every day. Kids and pets die f heatstrke (中暑) inside cars — we are n track t set a new recrd fr ht car deaths in 2021. We may nt have t wrry abut AI, but ur innvatins are quietly utpacing ur ability.
We place blind trust in cmplex systems that reveal little abut hw they wrk. It seems that we have superhuman abilities, and cnsumers seem willing t play alng. They drive at a speed f 80 mph with a phne and a cup f cffee, and they are prud f their multitasks. Sure, ther peple n phnes are dangerus, but yu can smthly switch yur attentin and ntice when any emergency ccurs, right?
When we misjudged a situatin in the past, we gt immediate feedback . But technlgy can place the cnsequences f ur missteps at a distance. Delayed reactins, cmplex chain reactins — these are all part f hw technlgy wrks. But having adapted t a wrld f new inventins, we are crazy abut driveriess cars, seldm stpping t cnsider what culd g wrng later dwn the rad. Wrse still, technlgy is even hacking ur feedback system. We get excited when we check ur phne while driving. Edith Harbaugh, whse cmpany. Launch Darkly, specializes in the cntrlled release f new technlgy int the wild, pinted ut that we’re creating a dangerusly unbalanced system f actins and rewards: “We are nt given ice creams every time we d smething safe.”
S it is t late t wrry abut threatening technlgy, which is upn us. The mdern wrld is breaking everything we knw abut staying safe. If we have any hpe f staying alive with the rise f the machines, we are ging t need t learn t survive the things we have tday.
12. Why is the warning f tech giants mentined in Paragraph 1?
A. T give a definitin. B. T highlight their wisdm.
C. T ffer backgrund infrmatin.D. T intrduce the tpic.
13. Which is NOT the reasn why technlgy is threatening?
A. We trust cmplex systems blindly.
B. We create t many inventins.
C. Our ability cannt keep pace with the innvatins.
D. Technlgy can’t give us feedback immediately.
14. If the passage cntinues, what may be talked abut?
A. The rise f the machines.B. The destructin f the wrld.
C The measures t deal with the prblem.D. The wrries abut threatening technlgy.
15. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Every Cin Has Tw SidesB. Technlgy is Benefiting us
C. Technlgy is Killing usD. Hw Shuld We Deal with Technlgy
【答案】12 D 13. B 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了科技巨头们对科技可能带来的危险的警告,指出科技正在威胁人类的安全,并分析了其中的原因。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Musk, Hawking, Gates — the tech giants have redubled their warnings abut hw we culd destry urselves with technlgy. But they’ re nt talking abut deliberately pushing buttns t trigger disaster. They mean accidentally killing urselves with smething that we invent fr ur benefit.(马斯克、霍金、盖茨——这些科技巨头已经加倍警告我们,科技可能会毁灭我们自己。但他们并不是在谈论故意按下按钮引发灾难。他们的意思是,我们可能会因为自己发明的、对我们有益的东西而意外地杀死自己)”和第二段中“Hwever, nwadays, we put a smartphne n every hand, and nw mre than 1000 distractin-related crashes happen n ur rads every day. Kids and pets die f heatstrke (中暑) inside cars — we are n track t set a new recrd fr ht car deaths in 2021.(然而,如今,我们每只手上都有智能手机,现在每天在我们的道路上发生1000多起与分心有关的交通事故。孩子和宠物死于车内中暑——我们有望在2021年创下热车死亡的新纪录)”可知,第一段提到了科技巨头们对科技可能带来的危险的警告,这是为了引出本文要讨论的话题,即科技对人类安全的威胁。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“It’s a little embarrassing t have t admit that accidental deaths are increasing in a wrld that ur ancestrs made safer fr hundreds f years.(不得不承认,在我们的祖先让这个世界变得更安全了几百年之后,意外死亡却在增加,这有点令人尴尬)”和“We may nt have t wrry abut AI. but ur innvatins are quietly utpacing ur ability.(我们可能不必担心人工智能,但我们的创新能力正在悄悄地超越我们的能力)”可知,我们的创新能力正在超越我们的能力,这是科技威胁人类的原因之一;根据第三段中“We place blind trust in cmplex systems that reveal little abut hw they wrk.(我们对复杂的系统盲目信任,而这些系统很少透露它们是如何工作的)”可知,我们对复杂系统的盲目信任是科技威胁人类的另一个原因;根据第四段中“When we misjudged a situatin in the past, we gt immediate feedback. But technlgy can place the cnsequences f ur missteps at a distance.(当我们过去误判情况时,我们会立即得到反馈。但科技会让我们的失误产生后果,而且是在一段时间之后)”可知,科技不能立即给我们反馈,这也是科技威胁人类的原因之一。B项“We create t many inventins.(我们创造了太多的发明)”并未在文中提及作为科技威胁人类的原因。故选B项。
14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“S it is t late t wrry abut threatening technlgy, which is upn us. The mdern wrld is breaking everything we knw abut staying safe. If we have any hpe f staying alive with the rise f the machines, we are ging t need t learn t survive the things we have tday.(因此,现在担心威胁性的技术已经为时已晚,它已经降临到我们身上。现代世界正在打破我们所知道的一切关于保持安全的知识。如果我们希望在机器崛起的情况下活下去,我们就需要学会在现有的条件下生存下去)”可知,文章最后提到了我们需要学会在现有的条件下生存下去,这暗示着接下来可能会讨论如何应对科技带来的威胁,即解决问题的措施。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,特别是根据第一段“Musk, Hawking, Gates — the tech giants have redubled their warnings abut hw we culd destry urselves with technlgy.(马斯克、霍金、盖茨——这些科技巨头已经加倍警告我们,科技可能会毁灭我们自己)”和最后一段“S it is t late t wrry abut threatening technlgy, which is upn us.(因此,现在担心威胁性的技术已经为时已晚,它已经降临到我们身上)”可知,文章主要讨论了科技对人类安全的威胁,因此最好的标题是“Technlgy is Killing us(科技正在杀死我们)”。故选C项。

【16题详解】
根据前文“Tablescapes (桌面景观) are creatively designed table arrangements r decratins fr the center f a table, which shw r highlight a specific bject r cllectin. Usually, it’s dinner tables that are transfrmed int tablescapes.(桌面景观是创造性地设计的桌子安排或装饰在桌子的中心,它显示或突出一个特定的对象或集合。通常,餐桌被改造成桌面景观)”可知,此处是在介绍什么是桌面景观,以及什么能改造成桌面景观,A项“But items like bkshelves can als make it.(但像书架这样的物品也会产生这种效果)”也是在讲述什么能改造成桌面景观,符合文意,且和前文构成转折关系。故选A项。
【17题详解】
根据前文“Tableseaping allws peple t express their creativity by adding a persnal tuch. This is ften achieved thrugh the use f valuable cllectins r specialized themes.(桌面景观可以让人们通过添加个人元素来表达他们的创造力。这通常是通过使用有价值的集合或专门的主题来实现的)”可知,本段主要讲述桌面景观的主题,所以F项“Themes are especially imprtant when designing tablescapes.(在设计桌面景观时,主题尤其重要)”符合本段主题,是对前文进一步说明,并引出下文“Themes can be based upn a particular event, seasn, hbby, r cllectin.(主题可以基于特定的事件、季节、爱好或收藏)”。故选F项。
【18题详解】
根据后文“Each item within a tablescape relates t ther elements arund it.(桌面景观中的每个物品都与它周围的其他元素相关)”可知,本段讲述桌面景观中的物品,所以E项“Once a theme is chsen, cllect prper related items.(一旦选定主题,收集适当的相关物品)”符合本段主题,承接上文选定主题,并引出下文收集物品。故选E项。
【19题详解】
根据前文“When it cmes t rganizing the selected bjects fr tablescapes, the easiest methd is t think in terms f levels.(在为桌面景观组织所选对象时,最简单的方法是从级别的角度考虑)”以及后文“The ther relatively unimprtant nes include the spaces bth abve and belw the table.(其他相对不重要的包括桌子上方和下方的空间)”可知,本段讲述可以按照级别来组织所选对象,后文讲述不重要的地方,所以空处应是重要级别,所以B项“The mst imprtant level is the tabletp itself.(最重要的关卡是桌面本身)”符合文意。故选B项。
【20题详解】
根据前文“As everyne’s view can be different, nt all tablescapes will hld the same appeal.(由于每个人的观点都可能不同,因此并非所有桌面景观都具有相同的吸引力)”以及后文“It’ll create a cmfrtable appearance regardless f smene else’s persnal taste.(不管别人的个人品味如何,它都会给人一种舒适的感觉)”可知,前文讲述每个人品味不同,不可能吸引所有人,后文说都会给人一种舒适的感觉;由此推知,空处内容与前文构成转折关系,且提出一种所有人都会接受的方法,所以G项“Hwever, maintaining a balance within the tablescape theme is necessary.(但是,在桌面景观主题中保持平衡是必要的)”符合文意,和前文构成转折关系,引出下文。故选G项。

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了中国发射嫦娥六号探测器以首次从月球背面带回样本的任务,这标志着中国航天计划的一大进步。
【36题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:嫦娥六号探测器昨天由长征五号火箭从文昌航天发射中心发射升空,太空爱好者们聚集在那里观看了这一历史性时刻。send(发送)是谓语动词,与主语The Chang’e-6 prbe之间是被动关系,根据时间状语yesterday可知,描述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是单数名词,谓语动词用单数形式。故填was sent。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这次发射是一次巨大的成功。可数名词success在句中表示“一次巨大的成功”,泛指,且huge是发音以辅音音素开头的单词,应用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:为期53天的任务将见证嫦娥六号着陆器降落在月球背面,那里永远不面向地球。“_____ never faces Earth”为非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the mn’s far side,关系词将其代入定语从句中作主语,应用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。
【39题详解】

【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这是对中国太空能力的一次关键考验,中国正在努力把国家建设成太空强国。。名词effrt后常用不定式作后置定语,effrt t d...“做……的努力”。故填t build。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:近年来,中国在传统上由美国和俄罗斯主导的领域取得了快速的太空进展。“(lead) by the United States and Russia”作后置定语,lead(引领,领导)是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语a field之间是被动关系,应用过去分词led表被动,作后置定语。故填led。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:中国长期以来一直表示,它支持和平利用太空,并希望更好地与其他国家在太空领域合作。stand fr是固定短语,意为“支持,代表”。故填fr。
【43题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:这一次,中国表示,嫦娥六号任务携带了来自法国、意大利、巴基斯坦和欧洲航天局的科学仪器。可数名词instrument作宾语,意为“仪器”,由后文“frm France, Italy, Pakistan and the Eurpean Space Agency”可知,应用复数形式表示多个国家的仪器。故填instruments。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:除了带回可能帮助人们研究月球和太阳系起源及早期历史的样本外,这次任务还为这些步骤提供了机器人实践,以便让宇航员登上月球并返回。提示词作复合介词In additin t的宾语,用动名词形式returning。故填returning。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意:除了带回可能帮助人们研究月球和太阳系起源及早期历史的样本外,这次任务还为这些步骤提供了机器人实践,以便让宇航员登上月球并返回。“(get astrnauts) t the mn”和“(get astrnauts) back”是并列关系,用连词and连接。故填and。

【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语和副词。句意:李白以其非凡的想象力、对强烈感情的自由表达和对语言的熟练掌握,被公认是继屈原之后最伟大的浪漫主义诗人。结合“the greatest rmantic pet after Qu Yuan”可知,此处是评价李白的文学地位,动词短语recgnize/recgnise… as…“认为……是……”的被动形式符合题意,可用副词widely“广泛地,普遍地”修饰动词,作状语,表示“被公认是……”。故填widely recgnized/recgnised as。
50. _____ is Ezra Pund, a 20th-century American pet. (根据句意完成句子)
【答案】One such pet
【解析】
【详解】考查代词和名词。句意:这样的一位诗人是Ezra Pund,一位20世纪的美国诗人。句子缺少主语,根据句意,“这样的一位诗人”可用ne such pet表示,句首单词首字母大写。故填One such pet。
