一、阅读理解
Hw much will it cst t live in Oxfrd, if yu study in this wrld-renwned university? The lwer and upper range f likely living csts fr the 2024-2025 academic year is prvided belw. These csts are based n a single, full-time student with n dependents, living in Oxfrd. We prvide the csts per mnth and yu can multiply the csts by the number f mnths yu expect t live here, s that yu are fully aware f and cnsider very carefully the likely living csts assciated with yur chsen curses f study at Oxfrd.
In rder t prvide these likely living csts, the university and the Oxfrd University Student Unin have cnducted a relevant survey amng existing students abut the expenditure data.
Fd： Three rdinary meals n campus each day, dining ut nt cunted.
Accmmdatin： The figures abve shw a 20% discunt, which is cmmnly accepted in Oxfrd, if the same apartment is rented by the same student fr 9 mnths and mre in a rw. They als include related bills （fr example, utilities such as electricity and heating）.
Study csts： These are likely csts directly related t yur studies, such as textbks, statinery, printing and phtcpying, curse-related equipment and materials.
Other： These are small, mixed csts which d nt fall under the ther categries abve.
Yu may need t budget fr additinal csts such as travel t and frm fieldwrk ut f the city, r fr internatinal students the visa and health care csts （see student visa webpages fr details）. These csts are nt included in the figures abve.

Even if yu haven’t tried Pamela’s wrkuts, her name likely rings a bell -the German-brn mdel is ne f the wrld’s mst ppular fitness influencers. Lately, she’s been trying ut smething new： Baduanjin, a traditinal Chinese fitness exercise, riginally created ver 800 years ag during the Sng Dynasty. The name generally refers t hw the eight individual mvements characterize and give a silken quality t the mvement f the bdy and its energy.
Baduanjin used t be ppular mainly amng lder Chinese flks, but yung peple are nw als getting int it. N equipment is necessary and it requires very little space r, perhaps mst imprtantly in ur fast-paced lives, time. In fact, it’s perfect fr ffice wrkers, as they ften suffer frm lwer back pain caused by hurs sitting in frnt f the cmputer.
The vide f Pamela ding Baduanjin has becme a hit n Chinese scial media, receiving millins f views. In additin t 9.68 millin fllwers n YuTube, Pamela has established a presence n Chinese scial media, including Bilibili, with mre than 11.6 millin fllwers. Shwing her perfect figure year-rund, Pamela has becme an inspiratin fr many peple wrldwide, ffering pathways t fat-burning, increased energy, and imprved sleep quality.
Apparently, n ne can resist the charm f Baduanjin. "I have been ding Baduanjin fr abut ne mnth, which makes me sleep well and get strnger. I we big thanks t Baduanjin since it gives me a much healthier lifestyle," a yung netizen cmmented belw the vide.
But nt all peple are suitable fr practicing Baduanjin. Liu Xiadan, an assciate prfessr at Shanghai University f Traditinal Chinese Medicine, cautined that peple shuld always put safety first when ding Baduanjin, and patients wh are extremely weak and fall easily shuld nt take up this exercise.
4．What can we learn abut Baduanjin frm the text?

C.By explaining its definitin.
D.By making cmparisns.
6．Which f the fllwing can best describe Pamela’s practising Baduanjin?
A.Risky but rewarding.
B.Thrilling but regretful.
C.Eye-catching and inspiring.
D.Unexpected and strange.
7．What shuld be cnsidered if ne wants t take up Baduanjin?
A.Physical cnditin.

Whales and birds are frequently quted as Earth’s chief navigatrs. Insects, t, are displayed-ften represented by butterflies and bees. Ants, hwever, are rarely n the lips f thse discussing nature’s best pilts. This is disheartening, particularly when cnsidering the lack f actin t address ants’ declining numbers cmpared with that fr ther insects and mammals.
Like whales, ants display extrardinary spatial skills as part f their remarkable navigatinal tlkit. Their mst well-knwn strategy-chemical signalling via phermnes （信息素） t guide nestmates alng shared paths-barely scratches the surface.
Recent research I was invlved with shws a new navigatin al characteristic fr ants living in cmplex envirnments. Wd ants (Frmica rufa) returning t the nest thrugh the dense wdland exhibit idisyncratic rutes. That is, whereas ne ant might always g t the right f a bush and then under a lg when returning hme, anther might always g t the left and then ver. This suggests the ants are relying n visual cues as ppsed t phermnes, the respnses t which wuld shw cnsiderable verlap (重合). Or nte the Nrth African desert-residing ant Cataglyphis frtis. Each ant uses an internal “step cunter” and heavenly cues t calculate its psitin relative t the nest in the barren Saharan desert. A recent study revealed that this species als cnstructs munds (土堆) as visual cues t help find the way hme.
Ants dn’t benefit frm a wide range f cnservatin strategies. Humpback whales, n the ther hand, have thankfully seen their numbers bunce back due t prtectin initiatives. Indeed, a study f UK cnservatin plicies fund that mammals receive mre prtectin than insects.
Despite hw vital insects are t ur planet, their bidiversity is in danger, and it is ur duty t make a case fr insect prtectin acrss the bard. Their remarkable navigatinal accuracy, riginating frm relatively basic neural circuits, is key t attracting public supprt. If nly mre peple knew that dung beetles navigate using the Milky Way, fr example, their presence n cnservatin lists wuld surely be mre frequent. Perhaps thinking f insects as individual animals, rather than their cllective species, is a start.
8． Why are whales and birds mentined in the first paragraph?
A.T shw their reputatin is nt well-deserved.
B.T prve the effectiveness f cnservatin effrts.
C.T highlight ants’ exceptinal navigatinal ability.
D.T cnfirm they are best examples f nature’s navigatrs.
9． Which f the fllwing can best explain the underlined wrd in paragraph 3?
A.Individualised.
B.Identical.
C.Cntradictry.
D.Cmplicated.
10． What can be inferred abut the ant species frm the text?
A.Their simple neural circuits fail t win them prtectin.
B.Prducing phermnes is their majr means f navigatin.
C.They tell directins by cunting their steps in the desert.
D.Visual infrmatin accunts fr their chsen rute t the nest.
11． Which culd be the best title f the text?
A.Navigatinal genius： Ants’ brilliance verlked
B.Amazing ability： Insects’ navigatinal secret uncvered
C.Best pilt： Ants’ signalling behavir displayed
D.Alarming fact： Mammals are being verprtected
The emergence f black hles undubtedly marks the beginning f a revlutin. Black hles have many peculiar prperties, such as the alteratin f space and time, the radiatin f gravitatinal waves and s n. Scientists are still trying t study the prperties and evlutin f black hles in rder t better understand the rigin and evlutin f the universe.
Recently, a team f astrnmers may have fund a sl-wandering black hle using a strange trick f gravity called micrlensing （微透镜效应）, but the results still have t be cnfirmed.
Smetimes it’s tugh being an astrnmer. Nature likes t hide the mst interesting things frm easy bservatin. Take, fr example, black hles. Except fr the strange quantum （量子） phenmenn f Hawking radiatin, black hles are cmpletely black. They dn’t emit a single bit f radiatin – they nly absrb, hence their name.
T date, the nly way astrnmers have been able t spt black hles is thrugh their influence n their envirnments. Fr example, if an rbiting star gets a little t clse, the black hle can absrb the gas frm that star, causing it t heat up as it falls. We can watch as stars dance arund the giant black hle at the center f the Milky Way.
Even the famed pictures f the black hles in the center f the Milky Way and the M87 galaxy（星系） aren’t phtgraphs f the black hles themselves. Instead, they are radi images f everything arund them.
But surely nt all black hles have ther light-emitting bjects arund them t help us find them. T find these wanderers, astrnmers have tried their luck with micrlensing. We knw that heavy bjects can bend the path f light arund them. This is a predictin f Einstein’s general thery f relativity, and the slight bending f starlight arund ur wn sun was ne f the first successful tests f the thery.
Micrlensing is pretty much what the name suggests. When astrnmers get extremely lucky, a wandering black hle and pass between us and a randm distant star. The light frm that star bends arund the black hle because f its gravity, and frm ur pint f view, the star will appear t temprarily flare in brightness.
And when I say "extremely lucky" I mean it. Despite trying this technique fr ver a decade, it is nly nw that astrnmers have fund a candidate black hle thrugh micrlensing. Tw teams used the same data, a micrlensing event recrded frm bth the OGLE （Optical Gravitatinal Lensing Experiment） telescpe in Chile and the MOA （Micrlensing Observatins in Astrphysics） telescpe in New Zealand. One team fund that the mass was smewhere arund seven times the mass f the sun – definitely black hle territry. But the ther team estimated a much smaller mass, arund 2-4 times the mass f the Sun. If the true mass f the bject is at the lwer end f that spectrum （光谱）, then the wanderer is prbably nt a black hle.
12． Why des the authr say it is hard t be an astrnmer?
A.Einstein’s thery is hard t understand.
B.Many things in nature are nt easy t bserve.
C.Understanding the evlutin f the universe is nt easy.D Whether the black hle has been fund remains t be seen.
13． What is the example in Para. 4 trying t prve?
A.Stars’ wandering in black hles.
B.Black hles’ absrbing the star’s gas.
C.The relatinship between stars’ heating and black hles.
D.Finding black hles by bserving envirnmental changes.
14． What des the authr tell us abut the discvery f black hles?
A.Peple can ften find black hles with glwing bjects.
B.Research grups can wrk tgether t find black hles.
C.Glwing bjects arund black hles help us find them smetimes.
D.Understanding the prperties f black hles helps find them.
15． What cnclusin can we draw frm the last paragraph?
A.T persevere in the end is t win.
B.Facts speak luder than wrds.
C.Failure is the mther f success.
D.Things are nt always what they seem.

Imprved technlgy has enabled many crpratins t perate internatinally. These cmpanies have entered freign markets.① This has driven many businesses t include cultural intelligence as a qualificatin fr prmtin and emplyment. Psychlgists have develped ways t measure and imprve an emplyee’s cultural intelligence qutient (商) (CQ).
CQ is generally evaluated using written assessments similar t intelligence qutient (IQ) tests.② And it als checks persnal knwledge f situatins where extra care is required. Besides, it assesses the effectiveness f an emplyee’s plans fr dealing with sensitive situatins and the ability t put strategies t practical use.
As we all knw, IQ is largely unchangeable.③ Generally, CQ can be imprved by training. Peple ging thrugh the training culd scre higher in CQ tests than thse wh dn’t receive such training. These individuals generally accept belief systems ther than their wn.
④ Fr thse with nly ccasinal cntact with members f a certain grup, ne night f reading may be enugh t learn the basics f plite/implite behavir f that culture. Thse wh make frequent trips may need t d mre in-depth research. Online reading and cnversatins with freign peple are gd appraches t enhancing cultural intelligence.
After learning abut cultural differences, thse with high CQ ften develp plans t apply that knwledge t scial interactins. Often, they examine their typical behavirs and cmpare them t the nrmal behavirs f anther culture. Fr example, a persn usually greeting business assciates with a hug wuld attempt t predict the effects f that behavir n members f a sciety that’s mre prtective f persnal space.⑤
A. Like IQ, CQ is als imprtant.
B. In cntrast, CQ is quite different.
C. Thus, their wrkers need cultural sensitivity.
D. He wuld then adjust his behavir accrdingly.
E. CQ testing can imprve ne’s cultural intelligence.
F. Imprving cultural knwledge can easily increase CQ.
G. CQ testing measures ne’s desire t be culturally sensitive.

I’m Tia, a passinate teenage girl, living next dr t the crner f 71st Street. It’s my crner. Mst flks find there’s nthing there, just an empty lt. But t me, it’s like a wide-pen treasure bx. Stepping int it, I feel like leaping int a sea f green. The tall grass, prbably just weeds, with butterflies gathering arund, smells clean and fresh, and I wnder why I’m the nly ne wh’s thankful fr this place.
One evening, Mama said, “Tia, the city wants t turn that cmer f yurs int a parkinglt.” I stpped in my tracks. “N! They can’t d that!”
“Tia, yu have t make them see what yu see. Make sme nise abut it. N ne ever gt any place by sitting back and staying quiet.” That night, I lay awake thinking fr a lng time. “I’ve gt t dsmething.”
Early the next mrning I dragged a chair dwn t the crner with a big cardbard n which I’d painted “N Parking Lt! Save Our Nature” in large letters. I sat dwn and waited. Mst peple passed by, paying n attentin t me. My friend Tanya asked me whatI was ding, and I tld her. Then came Mrs. DiRisi, a beauty shp wner, wh angrily waved her hand at my sign, saying. “My custmers need a place t park. Yu g hme, little girl.” But I didn’t mve. Then I nticed a wman dwn the street taking pictures f my crner. She walked ver t me, smiling, “I’m Sara Bennett. Can I talk t yu?” I ndded. I knew I needed t make sme nise. I started talking, and Ms. Bennett scribbled n a ntepad. “A walking path wuld be nice, maybe a vegetable garden. And a bench, s peple culd sit dwn and listen t the birds singing.” I was surprised at myself, at hw many ideas I’d gt fr this crner.
The next mrning, my brther burst int my rm with a mrning paper. “Fighting fr Nature n the Crner f71st” was the title f the article, and alng with it was a picture f me!
After breakfast my brther, Mama and I dragged ur chairs and signs back t the crner.

参考答案
1．答案： D
解析： 直接理解。根据第二段"In rder t prvide these likely living csts... have cnducted a relevant survey amng existing students abut the expenditure data."可知,为了提供这些可能的生活成本,牛津大学和其学生会在现有的学生中进行了一项有关支出数据的相关调查,显然,这些数据是从当前在校生那里收集得出的。故选D项。
2．答案： C
解析： 数字计算。根据表格Accmmdatin一行与Fr 1 mnth中的Lwer range 一列的交点呈现出的费用数字可知,一个月的住宿费用最低是700英镑；再根据第四段中的"Accmmdatin： The figures abve shw a 20% discunt... if the same apartment is rented by the same student fr 9 mnths and mre in a rw."可知,如果同一学生连续租用同一公寓9个月或更长时间,可以获得20%的折扣；由此可推知,牛津大学学生一年的住宿费至少要花700×12×（1-0.2）=6,720英镑。故选C项。
3．答案： C
解析： 推断目的意图。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中的Hw much will it cst t live in Oxfrd和yu are fully aware f and cnsider very carefully the likely living csts可知,这个调查提供每个月所需的费用,从而让读者确定在牛津大学学习大概的生活费用,也就是说,调查的目的是确定这一学年可能的生活成本。故选C项。
4．答案： D
解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段"Shwing her perfect figure year-rund, Pamela has becme an inspiratin fr many peple wrldwide, ffering pathways t fat-burning, increased energy, and imprved sleep quality. （Pamela全年都在展示她完美的身材,她为全世界许多人提供了燃烧脂肪、增加能量和改善睡眠质量的途径。）"可知,练习八段锦可以帮助人们更好地睡眠和保持身材。故选D。
5．答案： B
解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段""I have been ding Baduanjin fr abut ne mnth, which makes me sleep well and get strnger. I we big thanks t Baduanjin since it gives me a much healthier lifestyle," a yung netizen cmmented belw the vide. （我练习八段锦已经有一个月了,这让我睡得很好,也变得更强壮。我非常感谢八段锦,因为它给了我更健康的生活方式,"一位年轻的网友在视频下评论道。）"可知,作者通过引用网友评论来说明练习八段锦的好处。故选B。
6．答案： C
解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段"Even if yu haven’t tried Pamela’s wrkuts, her name likely rings a bell -the German-brn mdel is ne f the wrld’s mst ppular fitness influencers. （即使你没有尝试过Pamela的锻炼,她的名字可能对你很熟悉—这位德国出生的模特是世界上最受欢迎的健身影响者之一。）"可知,Pamela 是一个健身博主,她的名字广为人知,她练习八段锦这件事也是很吸引眼球的,同时也可以激励他人。故选C。
7．答案： A
解析： 细节理解题。根据最后一段"Liu Xiadan, an assciate prfessr at Shanghai University f Traditinal Chinese Medicine, cautined that peple shuld always put safety first when ding Baduanjin, and patients wh are extremely weak and fall easily shuld nt take up this exercise. （上海中医药大学副教授刘小丹提醒说,人们在做八段锦时要始终把安全放在第一位,身体非常虚弱、容易摔倒的患者不应该做这项运动。）"可知,如果想要练习八段锦,需要考虑自身的身体状况。故选A。
8．答案： C
解析： 文章开篇提到鲸鱼和鸟类常被当作地球优秀的导航者,而蚂蚁却很少被提及,随后重点讲述蚂蚁有着非凡的导航能力,比如通过信息素引导同伴、依靠视觉线索、利用"步数计数器"和天体线索以及建造土堆作为视觉线索等。所以开头提及鲸鱼和鸟类是为了通过对比,突出蚂蚁同样具备出色的导航能力,只是被人们忽视了,答案选C选项。A选项说它们名声不实不符合文意；B选项文中重点不是证明保护措施的有效性；D选项不符合后文重点突出蚂蚁导航能力的意图。
9．答案： A
解析： 根据后文"whereas ne ant might always g t the right f a bush and then under a lg when returning hme, anther might always g t the left and then ver",意思是一只蚂蚁回巢时总是走灌木右边然后从原木下经过,另一只却总是走左边然后从上面越过,说明蚂蚁回巢路线是有各自特点、个性化的,"idisyncratic"意思就是"个性化的,独特的",与"Individualised"意思相近,所以答案选A选项。"Identical"表示"相同的"；"Cntradictry"表示"矛盾的"；"Cmplicated"表示"复杂的",都不符合此处对蚂蚁回巢路线特点的描述。
10．答案： D
解析： 文中提到木蚁依靠视觉线索回巢,北非沙漠蚂蚁会利用土堆作为视觉线索帮助找到回家的路等,都表明视觉信息在蚂蚁选择回巢路线方面起着重要作用,所以答案选D选项。A选项说它们简单的神经回路没能让它们获得保护,文中未体现因果关系；B选项,文中指出它们导航不只是靠产生信息素,还有视觉等其他方式,所以该项错误；C选项,只是北非沙漠蚂蚁利用"步数计数器"结合天体线索在沙漠中确定位置,不能说所有蚂蚁都这样,以偏概全了,所以A、B、C选项不符合题意。
11．答案： A
解析： 文章主要围绕蚂蚁有着卓越的导航能力但却被人们忽视,在保护方面也没有得到足够重视展开论述,强调了蚂蚁作为导航天才却被人们低估了其能力这一情况,"Navigatinal genius： Ants’brilliance verlked"（导航天才：蚂蚁的卓越才能被忽视）能够很好地概括文章主旨；B选项重点不是昆虫导航秘密的揭开；C选项"蚂蚁的信号行为展示"不是文章核心内容；D选项"哺乳动物被过度保护"只是文中提及的一个对比情况,并非重点,所以答案选A选项。
12．答案： B
解析： 文章第三段明确指出"Smetimes it’s tugh being an astrnmer. Nature likes t hide the mst interesting things frm easy bservatin.",意思是大自然喜欢把最有趣的事物隐藏起来,不让人们轻易观察到,这就是做天文学家困难的原因,所以答案是B选项。A选项爱因斯坦理论难理解并非此处说做天文学家难的原因；C选项理解宇宙演化不易不是对应题干所问的原因；D选项黑洞是否被发现待定也不符合此处说做天文学家难的理由阐述。
13．答案： D
解析： 第四段开头提到"T date, the nly way astrnmers have been able t spt black hles is thrugh their influence n their envirnments.",接着举例说如果一颗环绕的恒星离黑洞太近,黑洞会吸收其气体,导致恒星在坠落时升温,我们可以通过观察恒星在银河系中心的巨大黑洞周围的运动情况来发现黑洞,这个例子就是为了证明通过观察黑洞对其周围环境产生的影响来找到黑洞这一方式,所以答案是D选项。A选项只是描述现象不是例子要证明的内容；B选项只说黑洞吸收恒星气体,没有体现与发现黑洞的关联；C选项恒星升温与黑洞的关系不是重点,重点是通过这种环境变化来发现黑洞,所以A、B、C选项不符合题意。
14．答案： C
解析： 文中提到"Even the famed pictures f the black hles in the center f the Milky Way and the M87 galaxy（星系） aren’t phtgraphs f the black hles themselves. Instead, they are radi images f everything arund them."以及"But surely nt all black hles have ther light-emitting bjects arund them t help us find them."等内容,说明有时候是借助黑洞周围发光的物体来帮助我们发现它们的,所以答案是C选项。A选项"ften"不符合实际情况,找到有发光物体的黑洞来发现黑洞并不是经常能做到的；B选项文中虽提到两个团队用相同数据,但重点不是强调研究小组合作找黑洞；D选项理解黑洞性质与找黑洞之间的联系不是文中重点论述内容,所以A、B、D选项不符合题意。
15．答案： D
解析： 最后一段提到两个团队利用同样的数据,一个团队得出候选黑洞质量约为太阳的7倍,肯定属于黑洞范畴,而另一个团队估计的质量小得多,若物体真实质量处于估计范围的下限,那这个漫游者可能就不是黑洞,说明事物有时候呈现出来的样子和实际情况不一定相符,所以答案是D选项。A选项坚持到最后就是胜利,不符合最后一段体现的内容；B选项事实胜于雄辩也不符合此处要表达的意思；C选项失败是成功之母也与段落内容不符,所以A、B、C选项不符合题意。
16．答案： C； G； B； F； D
解析： ①前文提到许多公司进入国外市场开展国际业务,后文说这促使很多企业将文化智力作为晋升和招聘的一项资质要求。那么中间需要一个衔接句来表明因为开展国际业务所以需要员工具备文化敏感性,C选项"Thus, their wrkers need cultural sensitivity.（因此,他们的员工需要文化敏感性。）"中"Thus"体现了因果关系,承接前文公司开展国际业务的情况,引出后文对员工文化智力方面的要求,符合语境逻辑。
②前文提到文化智力商数（CQ）通常像智商（IQ）测试那样通过书面评估来衡量,后文又介绍了它还会检查在需要格外注意的情况下的个人知识等其他方面的内容,所以此处应该是具体说明CQ测试所衡量的内容,G选项"CQ testing measures ne’s desire t be culturally sensitive.（CQ测试衡量一个人在文化方面保持敏感的意愿。）"符合,既承接了前文关于CQ测试的话题,又引出后文对其测试其他方面内容的阐述,起到承上启下的作用。
③前文提到智商（IQ）很大程度上是不可改变的,后文说一般来说文化智力商数（CQ）可以通过培训得到提升,明显是将IQ和CQ进行对比,B选项"In cntrast, CQ is quite different.（相比之下,CQ则大不相同。）"很好地体现了这种对比关系,使前后文衔接自然,符合此处逻辑要求。
④后文分别举例说明了对于偶尔与特定群体成员接触以及经常出差的人提升文化智力的不同方式,如阅读、线上阅读、与外国人交流等,都是在讲提升文化知识就能提升CQ的相关内容,所以此处作为总起句应该是表明提升文化知识可以轻易提高CQ,F选项"Imprving cultural knwledge can easily increase CQ.（提升文化知识能够轻易地提高CQ。）"符合语境,开启下文对提升CQ具体方式的举例说明。
⑤前文举例提到一个通常用拥抱来问候商业伙伴的人会尝试预测这种行为对更注重个人空间的社会成员的影响,那么接下来自然是说这个人会根据预测的情况相应地调整自己的行为,D选项"He wuld then adjust his behavir accrdingly.（然后他会相应地调整自己的行为。）"符合逻辑,承接前文的例子内容,使文章内容连贯完整。
17．答案： C
解析： 根据后文描述的是关于无家可归者面对装满现金的钱包的反应这一社会现象相关的实验,"scial"表示"社会的","scial experiment"符合语境,是在探究社会层面的情况,而"scientific"（科学的）侧重于科学研究方面；"emtinal"（情感的）主要强调情感相关；"mental"（精神的,心理的）也不符合此处关于社会现象探究的意思,所以选C。
18．答案： A
解析： 此处说要进行一个实验,是关于一个无家可归者对发现装满现金钱包的"反应（reactin）"会怎样,"answer"侧重于回答问题；"intrductin"表示介绍；"apprach"意为方法、途径等,都不符合此处说看其面对这种情况的反应的语境,所以选A。
19．答案： B
解析： 从后文可知这个叫Jay的无家可归者捡到钱后归还了,而且还用钱给其他无家可归者买食物,非常慷慨,所以是很"慷慨的（generus）"人,"curageus"（勇敢的）、"tlerant"（宽容的）、"humrus"（幽默的）都不符合其拾金不昧且帮助他人的特点描述,所以选B。
20．答案： C
解析： 前文提到Waqas故意把装有2000美元的钱包掉在地上,这是"有意的（intentinal）"行为,目的是做实验,"accidental"（意外的）不符合是故意为之的情况；"disappinting"（令人失望的）和"shcking"（令人震惊的）都不符合此处描述故意丢钱包这个动作的性质,所以选C。
21．答案： D
解析： Jay捡起钱包后追上Waqas是为了把钱包"归还（return）"给他,"dnate"（捐赠）不符合语境；"pay"（支付）也不合适；"shw"（展示）不符合其追上去的目的,所以选D。
22．答案： A
解析： 根据后文"that the cameras were filming"以及Jay的行为表现,可知他一开始是"没有意识到（unaware）"有摄像机在拍摄的,"cnfident"（自信的）、"cncerned"（担心的）、"excited"（兴奋的）都不符合此处描述他当时没察觉摄像机的状态,所以选A。
23．答案： D
解析： Waqas之前是继续往前走装作不知道的样子,听到Jay叫他后应该是"转身（turned back）","carried n"（继续）不符合听到呼喊后的动作；"went ff"（离开,爆炸等）不符合语境；"brke away"（脱离,挣脱）也不符合此处情节,所以选D。
24．答案： B
解析： 此处说Jay之前受伤了,现在在艰难的情况下尽最大努力去"照顾（nurse）"生病的妻子,"eye"（注视）不符合此处意思；"persuade"（说服）和"impress"（给……留下印象）都不符合照顾妻子这一语境,所以选B。
25．答案： C
解析： 前文介绍了Jay的艰难处境,后面说他本可以用那些钱但却没拿,所以这里用"Clearly"（显然）表示一种很明显的情况,强调他本可以那么做却没做,"Frtunately"（幸运地）不符合语境；"Eventually"（最终）没有体现这种逻辑关系；"Sadly"（悲伤地）也不符合此处强调的逻辑,所以选C。
26．答案： A
解析： 根据语境,Jay本来是可以"使用（used）"那些钱的,毕竟他处境艰难,"ignred"（忽视）不符合此处说对钱的处理意思；"discvered"（发现）不符合逻辑,钱已经发现了,这里说的是可以怎么处置；"wasted"（浪费）也不符合语境,所以选A。
27．答案： B
解析： Jay做了正确的事,Waqas被他的行为"感动（Tuched）"了,所以才给Jay现金作为奖励,"Envius"（羡慕的）不符合此时Waqas的情感；"Anxius"（焦虑的）也不符合语境；"Ashamed"（羞愧的）同样不符合,所以选B。
28．答案： D
解析： Waqas给Jay现金奖励是为了表示对他做了正确事情的"感激、赞赏（appreciatin）","attentin"（注意力）不符合；"understanding"（理解）不符合此处表达奖励是为了感谢的意思；"expectatin"（期望）也不符合语境,所以选D。
29．答案： B
解析： 前文讲述了前面发生的故事,这里说这个令人难以置信的故事并没有"结束（end）",后面接着讲后续的发展,"last"侧重持续时间；"unfld"更多表示展开、呈现,不符合此处表达故事结束与否的意思；"wrk"（工作,起作用等）不符合语境,所以选B。
30．答案： D
解析： 前文提到Jay用得到的钱买食物分给其他人,这里问他这么做的"原因（reasn）","advice"（建议）不符合；"lss"（损失）不符合语境；"purpse"（目的）虽然意思接近但不如"reasn"更契合询问这么做的缘由这一语境,所以选D。
31．答案： A
解析： 整个故事体现了Jay拾金不昧,非常"诚实（hnesty）"且无私的高尚行为,"ambitin"（抱负）、"justice"（公正）、"wisdm"（智慧）都不符合对他这种拾金不昧又帮助他人行为特点的概括,所以选A。
32．答案： t taste； ecnmical； a； depth； in； it； but； which； squeezed； had spread
解析： ①此处考查非谓语动词,"the desire t d sth."是固定用法,表示"做某事的欲望",所以用不定式"t taste"作后置定语修饰"desire"。
②修饰名词"travelling mde"要用形容词,"ecnmy"是名词,其形容词形式"ecnmical"表示"经济的,实惠的",符合语境,指这种经济实惠的出行方式。
③"a wave f..."是固定短语,意为"一阵……,一波……",这里表示引发了一波对这种出行方式的兴趣,所以填"a"。
④根据前面的不定冠词"a"以及语境,此处需要名词,"deep"是形容词,其名词形式"depth"表示"深度","a depth f experience"意思是"丰富的体验",符合语境。
⑤"immerse neself in..."是固定短语,意为"使自己沉浸于……",这里指他们沉浸在当地文化中,所以填"in"。
⑥"put it"是常用表达,意思是"说,表达",此处表示正如一位学生所说的那样,所以填"it"。
⑦""是固定搭配,意为"不是……而是……",这里强调旅行有意义不是因为目的地,而是因为旅程本身,所以填"but"。
⑧此处引导非限定性定语从句,先行词是前面整个句子"At first, fficials had encuraged the craze",在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词"which"引导。
⑨"with + 宾语+ 宾语补足语"结构中,"cars"与"squeeze"是被动关系,即汽车被挤到路边,所以用过去分词作宾语补足语,填"squeezed"。
⑩根据语境,此处表示到那时为止,这种趋势已经疯狂传播开了,"spread"这个动作发生在"shwed"之前,即过去的过去,要用过去完成时,所以填"had spread"。

解析： 本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了71号街道的拐角可以让蒂亚感受到自然的美,但是有人想要将这个街角改造成停车场。在妈妈的建议下,蒂亚采取行动,在大纸板写明自己的观点,放在街角处。内内特女士给蒂亚拍了照片,并对这个街角的设计进行了设想。第二天早上,蒂亚的照片出现在报纸上早餐后,蒂亚和家人将椅子和大纸板拖回街角。
段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容"令我惊讶的是,我看到一些熟悉的身影向我们走来。"可知,第一段可描写越来越多的邻居出现,发声自己需要自然,蒂亚发表演讲,尝试拯救自然,得到了大家的掌声。
