1965 – Operation
An unsteady hand is your downfall (败落的原因) in the game of Operation, which was invented by John Spinello, a student at the University of Illinois. Later, Spinello sold his right to the toy to a well-known toy designer Marvin Glass for a sum of $500. Operation is currently made by Hasbro, with estimated sales of $40 million.

Here are some tips from experts for writing that all-important application essay, which can often mean the difference between getting accepted — or rejected — by the school of your choice.
The essay is your loudspeaker — your view of the world and your ambitions. It’s not just a resume or a regurgitation of everything you’ve done. It needs to tell a story with passion using personal, entertaining anecdotes that showcase your character, your interests, your values, your life experiences, your views of the world, your ambitions and even your sense of humor.
Emphasize volunteer work or other ways you’ve helped people or made your community a better place. It helps if the activity is related to the subject you want to study. For example, Christopher Rim of Command Education Group, which coaches students, remembers that one student who wanted to become a dentist, set up a nonprofit and held fund-raisers to distribute toothbrushes, toothpaste and other dental products to homeless shelters. Admissions staff members want to know how your presence will make the college a better place.
Mention internships, summer courses, extracurricular activities or lab work that show steps you’ve taken to learn and understand your field of interest. That will help show you know the field you’ve chosen to study and are passionate about it.
Explain with knowledge and passion why you want to study at this particular college rather than at others. Tell why the school’s size, curriculum, social atmosphere, location, professors or history influenced your choice.
Correct spelling, grammar and punctuation are critical. Use grammar, syntax and writing with a level of sophistication that shows you’re ready for college. Never use text-style abbreviations or rude or profane language. After the essay is submitted, check your email and voice mail daily to make sure you see and respond promptly to messages from admissions staff members. Many students check only texts and sometimes miss emails asking follow-up questions or requesting an interview.
Hafeez Lakhani of Lakhani Coaching summed up the essay this way: “Every college is like a dinner table. What will make you the most interesting contributor to that dinner table conversation? What will make you help everyone else have a more interesting experience?” A good essay, rich with anecdotes and personality, will answer those questions and stand out from the pile.
4. What should be covered in an application essay?
A. Your community, summer courses, and extracurricular activities.
B. Your passion, sense of humor and your resume.
C. Your college, views of the world, and interest.
D. Your volunteer work, internships, and lab work.
5. What does the underlined word “anecdotes” mean?
A. documents B. stories
C. descriptions D. jokes
6. How to persuade the admissions staff members to accept you?
A. Your life experiences are rich enough to learn the courses well.
B. You are kind to the homeless and eager to donate daily necessities
C. Your being present at the college will make it a better one.
D. You want to study at the school due to its popularity.
7. Which of the following is appropriate according to the author?
A. Apply grammar and sentences which is not that simple.
B. Write the application in a style of text abbreviation.
C. Use vulgar language to show you really care.
D. Employ correct spelling and pronunciation.

Jenny was a bright-eyed, pretty five-year-old girl. One day when she and her mother were checking out at the grocery store, Jenny saw a plastic pearl necklace priced at $2.50. How she wanted that necklace! When she asked her mother if she would buy it for her, her mother said, “Well, it is a pretty necklace, but it costs an awful lot of money. I’ll tell you what. I’ll buy you the necklace, and when we get home we can make up a list of housework that you can do to pay for the necklace. And don’t forget that for your birthday, Grandma just might give you a whole dollar bill, too. Okay?” Jenny agreed, and her mother bought the pearl necklace for her.
Jenny worked on her housework very hard every day, and sure enough, her grandma gave her a brand-new dollar bill for her birthday. Soon Jenny had paid off the pearls. How Jenny loved those pearls. She wore them everywhere to kindergarten, bed and when she went out with her mother to run errands (跑腿). The only time she didn’t wear them was in the shower. Her mother had told her that they would turn her neck green!
Jenny had a very loving daddy. When Jenny went to bed, he would get up from his favorite chair every night and read Jenny her favorite story.
One night when he finished the story, he said, “Jenny, do you love me?”
“Oh yes, Daddy, you know I love you,” the little girl said.
“Well, then, give me your pearls.”
“Oh! Daddy, not my pearls!” Jenny said. “But you can have Rosy, my favorite doll. Remember her? You gave her to me last year for my birthday. And you can have her tea party outfit, too. Okay?”
“Oh no, darling, that’s okay.” Her father brushed her cheek with a kiss. “Good night, little one.”
A week later, her father once again asked Jenny after her story.
“Do you love me?”
“Oh yes, Daddy, you know I love you.”
“Well, then, give me your pearls.”
“Oh, Daddy, not my pearls! But you can have Ribbons, my toy horse. Do you remember her? She’s my favorite. Her hair is so soft, and you can play with it and braid it and everything. You can have Ribbons if you want her, Daddy,” the little girl said to her father.
“No, that’s okay,” her father said and brushed her cheek again with a kiss. “God bless you, little one. Sweet dreams.”
Several days later, when Jenny’s father came in to read her a story, Jenny was sitting on her bed and her lip was trembling. “Here, Daddy,” she said, and held out her hand. She opened it and her beloved pearl necklace was inside. She let it slip into her father’s hand.
With one hand her father held the plastic pearls and the other he pulled out of his pocket a blue velvet box. Inside of the box were real, genuine, beautiful pearls. He had had them all along. He was waiting for Jenny to give up the cheap stuff so that he could give her the real thing.

Most kids grow up learning they cannot draw on the walls. But it might be time to unlearn that training — this summer, a group of culture addicts, artists and community organizers are inviting New Yorkers to write all over the walls of an old house on Governor’s Island.
The project is called Writing On It All, and it’s a participatory writing project and artistic experiment that has happened on Governor’s Island every summer since 2013.
“Most of the participants are people who are just walking by or are on the island for other reasons, or they just kind of happen to be there,” Alexandra Chasin, artistic director of Writing On It All, tells Smithsonian.com.
The 2016 season runs through June 26 and features sessions facilitated by everyone from dancers to domestic workers. Each session has a theme, and participants are given a variety of materials and prompts and asked to cover surfaces with their thoughts and art. This year, the programs range from one that turns the house into a collaborative essay to one that explores the meaning of exile (流放).
Governor’s Island is a national historic landmark district long used for military purposes. Now known as “New York’s shared space for art and play,” the island, which lies between Manhattan and Brooklyn in Upper New York Bay, is closed to cars but open to summer tourists who flock for festivals, picnics, adventures, as well as these “legal graffiti (涂鸦)” sessions.
The notes and art scribbled (涂画) on the walls are an experiment in self-expression. So far, participants have ranged in age from 2 to 85. Though Chasin says the focus of the work is on the activity of writing, rather than the text that ends up getting written, some of the work that comes out of the sessions has stuck with her.
“One of the sessions that moved me the most was state violence on black women and black girls,” says Chasin, explaining that in one room, people wrote down the names of those killed because of it. “People do beautiful work and leave beautiful messages.”
12. What does the project Writing On It All invite people to do?
A. Unlearn their training in drawing.
B. Participate in a state graffiti show.
C. Cover the walls of an old house with graffiti.
D. Exhibit their artistic creations in an old house.
13. What did the project participants do during the 2016 season?
A. They were free to scribble on the walls whatever came to their mind.
B. They expressed their thoughts in graffiti on the theme of each session.
C. They learned the techniques of collaborative writing.
D. They were required to cooperate with other creators.
14. What kind of place is Governor’s Island?
A. It is a historic site that attracts tourists and artists.
B. It is an area now accessible only to tourist vehicles.
C. It is a place in Upper New York Bay formerly used for exiles.
D. It is an open area for tourists to enjoy themselves year round.
15. What does Chasin say about the project?
A. It just focused on the sufferings of black females.
B. It helped expand the influence of graffiti art.
C. It has started the career of many creative artists.
D. It has created some meaningful artistic works.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D

【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段Governor’s Island is a national historic landmark district long used for military purposes.可知，总督岛是一个国家历史地标性地区，长期用于军事目的。由此可知，总督岛是一个吸引游客和艺术家的历史古迹。故选A项。

Advice for Graduates
Thank you for letting me share this wonderful day with you. The next part of my speech consists of some advice, which is rarely valued, seldom remembered, never followed. As Oscar Wilde said, ____16____ So, here comes the advice.
First, every time you celebrate an achievement, ____17____ Thank your parents and friends who supported you, thank your professors who were inspirational, and especially thank the other professors whose less-than brilliant lectures forced you to teach yourself. To your fellow students who have added immeasurably to your education during those late night discussions, hug them.
Second, in your future life, cultivate a generous spirit. ____18____ Leave the change on the table. In a successful cooperation, everybody gets 90 percent of the profit.
My third piece of advice is as follows: As you begin this new stage of your lives, follow your passion. If you don’t have a passion，don’t be satisfied until you find one. ____19____ When I was your age, I was incredibly single-minded in my goal to be a physicist. After college, I spent eight years as a graduate student and postdoc at Berkeley, and then nine years at Bell Labs. During that my time, my central focus and professional joy was physics.
Here is my final advice. Pursuing a personal passion is important, but it should not be your only goal. When you are old and gray, and look back on your life, you will want to be proud of what you have done. The source of that pride won’t be the things you have acquired or the recognition you have received. ___20___
A. It will be the lives you have touched and the difference you have made.
B. In all negotiations, don’t bargain for the last, little advantage.
C. “I like to do all the talking myself. It saves time, and prevents arguments.”
D. “The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself.”
E. Life is too short to go through it without caring deeply about something.
F. be thankful to those who made it possible.
G. Change your manners when you are dealing with others.

第二节 语法填空（共 10小题；每小题 1.5分，满分15分）
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
Mask-Wearing, Common in Asia, Spreads in the West
PARIS — Until a few weeks ago, Asian tourists were ____41____ only mask wearers in Paris, ____42____(cause) puzzlement or suspicion from French locals or even hostility as the coronavirus began sweeping across Europe.
Four days into a national lockdown to stem the outbreak, the French government spokeswoman, Sibeth Ndiaye, warned that face masks were so ____43____ (familiar) that wearing them was too difficult technically and could even be “counterproductive (适得其反).” Even Thursday morning, when ____44____ (ask) whether she wore a mask or made her children wear one, she said, “Oh, no, not at all.”
This taboo is falling fast, not only in France but across Western countries, after increasing ____45____(cry) from experts who say the practice is effective in curbing the coronavirus pandemic.
The shift for Western nations is profound and has had to overcome not merely the logistical challenges of securing enough masks, which are significant enough, but also a deep ____46____ (culture) resistance and even stigma (污名) associated with mask-wearing, ____47____ some Western leaders described flatly as “alien.”
___48___ (seem), it won’t be for much longer. After discouraging people from wearing face masks, France, like the United States, has begun urging its citizens ____49____ (wear) basic or homemade ones outside. And some parts of Europe are moving faster than the United States by requiring masks instead _____50_____ simply recommending their use.
【答案】41. the
42. causing
43. unfamiliar
44. asked 45. cries
46. cultural
47. which 48. Seemingly
49. to wear
50. of
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。介绍了随着新冠病毒开始席卷欧洲，西方一些国家先是劝阻人们不要戴口罩，转变为要求人们带上口罩。
【41题详解】
考查定冠词。定冠词the用在形容词very、only、same等词的前边。此空后接形容词only+名词，应该用the修饰，意为“巴黎只有亚洲游客戴口罩”。故填the。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：巴黎——直到几周前，巴黎还只有亚洲游客戴口罩，随着新冠病毒开始席卷欧洲，这引起了法国当地人的困惑、怀疑，甚至敌意。分析句子可知，动词cause与逻辑主语“Asian tourists were the only mask wearers in Paris,”之间是主动关系，应该用动词的现在分词作状语。故填causing。
【43题详解】
考查形容词变形。句意：法国政府发言人Sibeth Ndiaye警告，人们对口罩太不熟悉，从技术上说，戴口罩难度太大，甚至可能会“适得其反”。结果状语从句结构是：so+形容词+that（如此……以至于……）。so后接形容词；由句意可知，此处意为“不熟悉”。因此将形容词familiar（熟悉的）变成形容词unfamiliar（不熟悉的）。故填unfamiliar。
【44题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。when引导是时间状语从句中主语与主句主语相同，且从句谓语动词是be动词时，从句可省略主语谓语。由完整的句子“when she was asked whether she wore a mask or made her children wear one,”可知，省略主语和谓语之后，应该填asked。故填asked。
【45题详解】
考查名词复数。形容词increasing后修饰名词，因此此空填名词；又根据介词短语“from experts”作后置定语可知，是很多专家呼吁，因此此空名词应为复数。故填cries。
【46题详解】
考查词性转换。形容词修饰名词，此空后为名词resistance，故将名词culture变成形容词cultural。故填cultural。
【47题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处是非限制性定语从句，先行词是mask-wearing，关系词在从句中作“described”的宾语，因此由which来引导。故填which。
【48题详解】
考查副词。句意：看起来，这种情况不会持续太久。副词作状语，修饰整个句子“it won’t be for much longer.”。因此将动词seem变成副词seemingly。此空位于句首，单词首字母大写。故填Seemingly。
【49题详解】
考查动词搭配。动词搭配urge sb. to do sth. 意为“力劝某人做某事”。故填to wear。
【50题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：欧洲一些地区比美国动作更快，他们不是简单地建议戴口罩，而是要求人们戴上口罩。instead of 意为“代替；（是……）而不是……”。故填of。

I went to watch the ballet, the Peony Pavilion last Sunday’s evening. Because I think ballet was more or less the same everywhere, I was totally unprepared for its uniquely beauty. I was absorb as soon as the curtain rose. The performance borrowed a lot from Chinese dance and its the music, but the East influences on the ballet was clear. The production was filled in colors and romantic symbols, and challenged my senses in many different way. So much did I enjoy it that it changed opinion about ballet. I can’t wait to going again!

4. absorb à absorbed
5. the music前删除the
6. but à so

10. going à go
【解析】
【分析】
本文是记叙文。讲述了作者上周日晚上去看芭蕾舞《牡丹亭》，对芭蕾舞有了新了解。从此喜欢上了芭蕾舞。
【详解】1.考查名词。此处指上周日晚上，是last Sunday evening，用名词修饰evening，不用所有格，故Sunday’s 改为 Sunday。
2.考查动词时态。此处指作者看芭蕾舞剧之前的想法，根据last Sunday evening和went可知用一般过去时，故think 改为thought。
3.考查形容词。修饰名词beauty用形容词，指“独特的美丽”，故uniquely 改为unique。
4.考查被动语态。此处指我被吸引，是被动语态。was后用过去分词，故absorb 改为absorbed。
5.考查冠词。此处指中国舞蹈的音乐，music由its修饰，music前的the是多余的，故the music前删除the。
6.考查连词。句意：表演中大量借鉴了中国舞蹈及其音乐，所以东方的影响是显而易见的。前后句不是转折关系，是因果关系。故but 改为so。
7.考查固定短语。表示“被……充满”是be filled with，故in 改为with。
8.考查名词。此处指“以很多不同的方式”，由different修饰名词要用复数，故way 改为ways。
9.考查代词。句意：我非常喜欢它，以至于它改变了我对芭蕾的看法。此处指“改变了我的观点”，故opinion前面加my。
10.考查动词形式。“迫不及待做某事”是can’t wait to do sth.，to后加动词原形，故going 改为 go。

1965 – Operation
An unsteady hand is your downfall (败落的原因) in the game of Operation, which was invented by John Spinello, a student at the University of Illinois. Later, Spinello sold his right to the toy to a well-known toy designer Marvin Glass for a sum of $500. Operation is currently made by Hasbro, with estimated sales of $40 million.

Here are some tips from experts for writing that all-important application essay, which can often mean the difference between getting accepted — or rejected — by the school of your choice.
The essay is your loudspeaker — your view of the world and your ambitions. It’s not just a resume or a regurgitation of everything you’ve done. It needs to tell a story with passion using personal, entertaining anecdotes that showcase your character, your interests, your values, your life experiences, your views of the world, your ambitions and even your sense of humor.
Emphasize volunteer work or other ways you’ve helped people or made your community a better place. It helps if the activity is related to the subject you want to study. For example, Christopher Rim of Command Education Group, which coaches students, remembers that one student who wanted to become a dentist, set up a nonprofit and held fund-raisers to distribute toothbrushes, toothpaste and other dental products to homeless shelters. Admissions staff members want to know how your presence will make the college a better place.
Mention internships, summer courses, extracurricular activities or lab work that show steps you’ve taken to learn and understand your field of interest. That will help show you know the field you’ve chosen to study and are passionate about it.
Explain with knowledge and passion why you want to study at this particular college rather than at others. Tell why the school’s size, curriculum, social atmosphere, location, professors or history influenced your choice.
Correct spelling, grammar and punctuation are critical. Use grammar, syntax and writing with a level of sophistication that shows you’re ready for college. Never use text-style abbreviations or rude or profane language. After the essay is submitted, check your email and voice mail daily to make sure you see and respond promptly to messages from admissions staff members. Many students check only texts and sometimes miss emails asking follow-up questions or requesting an interview.
Hafeez Lakhani of Lakhani Coaching summed up the essay this way: “Every college is like a dinner table. What will make you the most interesting contributor to that dinner table conversation? What will make you help everyone else have a more interesting experience?” A good essay, rich with anecdotes and personality, will answer those questions and stand out from the pile.
4. What should be covered in an application essay?
A. Your community, summer courses, and extracurricular activities.
B. Your passion, sense of humor and your resume.
C. Your college, views of the world, and interest.
D. Your volunteer work, internships, and lab work.
5. What does the underlined word “anecdotes” mean?
A. documents B. stories
C. descriptions D. jokes
6. How to persuade the admissions staff members to accept you?
A. Your life experiences are rich enough to learn the courses well.
B. You are kind to the homeless and eager to donate daily necessities
C. Your being present at the college will make it a better one.
D. You want to study at the school due to its popularity.
7. Which of the following is appropriate according to the author?
A. Apply grammar and sentences which is not that simple.
B. Write the application in a style of text abbreviation.
C. Use vulgar language to show you really care.
D. Employ correct spelling and pronunciation.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何写一篇出色的大学申请书。
【4题详解】

Jenny was a bright-eyed, pretty five-year-old girl. One day when she and her mother were checking out at the grocery store, Jenny saw a plastic pearl necklace priced at $2.50. How she wanted that necklace! When she asked her mother if she would buy it for her, her mother said, “Well, it is a pretty necklace, but it costs an awful lot of money. I’ll tell you what. I’ll buy you the necklace, and when we get home we can make up a list of housework that you can do to pay for the necklace. And don’t forget that for your birthday, Grandma just might give you a whole dollar bill, too. Okay?” Jenny agreed, and her mother bought the pearl necklace for her.
Jenny worked on her housework very hard every day, and sure enough, her grandma gave her a brand-new dollar bill for her birthday. Soon Jenny had paid off the pearls. How Jenny loved those pearls. She wore them everywhere to kindergarten, bed and when she went out with her mother to run errands (跑腿). The only time she didn’t wear them was in the shower. Her mother had told her that they would turn her neck green!
Jenny had a very loving daddy. When Jenny went to bed, he would get up from his favorite chair every night and read Jenny her favorite story.
One night when he finished the story, he said, “Jenny, do you love me?”
“Oh yes, Daddy, you know I love you,” the little girl said.
“Well, then, give me your pearls.”
“Oh! Daddy, not my pearls!” Jenny said. “But you can have Rosy, my favorite doll. Remember her? You gave her to me last year for my birthday. And you can have her tea party outfit, too. Okay?”
“Oh no, darling, that’s okay.” Her father brushed her cheek with a kiss. “Good night, little one.”
A week later, her father once again asked Jenny after her story.
“Do you love me?”
“Oh yes, Daddy, you know I love you.”
“Well, then, give me your pearls.”
“Oh, Daddy, not my pearls! But you can have Ribbons, my toy horse. Do you remember her? She’s my favorite. Her hair is so soft, and you can play with it and braid it and everything. You can have Ribbons if you want her, Daddy,” the little girl said to her father.
“No, that’s okay,” her father said and brushed her cheek again with a kiss. “God bless you, little one. Sweet dreams.”
Several days later, when Jenny’s father came in to read her a story, Jenny was sitting on her bed and her lip was trembling. “Here, Daddy,” she said, and held out her hand. She opened it and her beloved pearl necklace was inside. She let it slip into her father’s hand.
With one hand her father held the plastic pearls and the other he pulled out of his pocket a blue velvet box. Inside of the box were real, genuine, beautiful pearls. He had had them all along. He was waiting for Jenny to give up the cheap stuff so that he could give her the real thing.

Most kids grow up learning they cannot draw on the walls. But it might be time to unlearn that training — this summer, a group of culture addicts, artists and community organizers are inviting New Yorkers to write all over the walls of an old house on Governor’s Island.
The project is called Writing On It All, and it’s a participatory writing project and artistic experiment that has happened on Governor’s Island every summer since 2013.
“Most of the participants are people who are just walking by or are on the island for other reasons, or they just kind of happen to be there,” Alexandra Chasin, artistic director of Writing On It All, tells Smithsonian.com.
The 2016 season runs through June 26 and features sessions facilitated by everyone from dancers to domestic workers. Each session has a theme, and participants are given a variety of materials and prompts and asked to cover surfaces with their thoughts and art. This year, the programs range from one that turns the house into a collaborative essay to one that explores the meaning of exile (流放).
Governor’s Island is a national historic landmark district long used for military purposes. Now known as “New York’s shared space for art and play,” the island, which lies between Manhattan and Brooklyn in Upper New York Bay, is closed to cars but open to summer tourists who flock for festivals, picnics, adventures, as well as these “legal graffiti (涂鸦)” sessions.
The notes and art scribbled (涂画) on the walls are an experiment in self-expression. So far, participants have ranged in age from 2 to 85. Though Chasin says the focus of the work is on the activity of writing, rather than the text that ends up getting written, some of the work that comes out of the sessions has stuck with her.
“One of the sessions that moved me the most was state violence on black women and black girls,” says Chasin, explaining that in one room, people wrote down the names of those killed because of it. “People do beautiful work and leave beautiful messages.”
12. What does the project Writing On It All invite people to do?
A. Unlearn their training in drawing.
B. Participate in a state graffiti show.
C. Cover the walls of an old house with graffiti.
D. Exhibit their artistic creations in an old house.
13. What did the project participants do during the 2016 season?
A. They were free to scribble on the walls whatever came to their mind.
B. They expressed their thoughts in graffiti on the theme of each session.
C. They learned the techniques of collaborative writing.
D. They were required to cooperate with other creators.
14. What kind of place is Governor’s Island?
A. It is a historic site that attracts tourists and artists.
B. It is an area now accessible only to tourist vehicles.
C. It is a place in Upper New York Bay formerly used for exiles.
D. It is an open area for tourists to enjoy themselves year round.
15. What does Chasin say about the project?
A. It just focused on the sufferings of black females.
B. It helped expand the influence of graffiti art.
C. It has started the career of many creative artists.
D. It has created some meaningful artistic works.

Advice for Graduates
Thank you for letting me share this wonderful day with you. The next part of my speech consists of some advice, which is rarely valued, seldom remembered, never followed. As Oscar Wilde said, ____16____ So, here comes the advice.
First, every time you celebrate an achievement, ____17____ Thank your parents and friends who supported you, thank your professors who were inspirational, and especially thank the other professors whose less-than brilliant lectures forced you to teach yourself. To your fellow students who have added immeasurably to your education during those late night discussions, hug them.
Second, in your future life, cultivate a generous spirit. ____18____ Leave the change on the table. In a successful cooperation, everybody gets 90 percent of the profit.
My third piece of advice is as follows: As you begin this new stage of your lives, follow your passion. If you don’t have a passion，don’t be satisfied until you find one. ____19____ When I was your age, I was incredibly single-minded in my goal to be a physicist. After college, I spent eight years as a graduate student and postdoc at Berkeley, and then nine years at Bell Labs. During that my time, my central focus and professional joy was physics.
Here is my final advice. Pursuing a personal passion is important, but it should not be your only goal. When you are old and gray, and look back on your life, you will want to be proud of what you have done. The source of that pride won’t be the things you have acquired or the recognition you have received. ___20___
A. It will be the lives you have touched and the difference you have made.
B. In all negotiations, don’t bargain for the last, little advantage.
C. “I like to do all the talking myself. It saves time, and prevents arguments.”
D. “The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself.”
E. Life is too short to go through it without caring deeply about something.
F. be thankful to those who made it possible.
G. Change your manners when you are dealing with others.

第二节 语法填空（共 10小题；每小题 1.5分，满分15分）
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
Mask-Wearing, Common in Asia, Spreads in the West
PARIS — Until a few weeks ago, Asian tourists were ____41____ only mask wearers in Paris, ____42____(cause) puzzlement or suspicion from French locals or even hostility as the coronavirus began sweeping across Europe.
Four days into a national lockdown to stem the outbreak, the French government spokeswoman, Sibeth Ndiaye, warned that face masks were so ____43____ (familiar) that wearing them was too difficult technically and could even be “counterproductive (适得其反).” Even Thursday morning, when ____44____ (ask) whether she wore a mask or made her children wear one, she said, “Oh, no, not at all.”
This taboo is falling fast, not only in France but across Western countries, after increasing ____45____(cry) from experts who say the practice is effective in curbing the coronavirus pandemic.
The shift for Western nations is profound and has had to overcome not merely the logistical challenges of securing enough masks, which are significant enough, but also a deep ____46____ (culture) resistance and even stigma (污名) associated with mask-wearing, ____47____ some Western leaders described flatly as “alien.”
___48___ (seem), it won’t be for much longer. After discouraging people from wearing face masks, France, like the United States, has begun urging its citizens ____49____ (wear) basic or homemade ones outside. And some parts of Europe are moving faster than the United States by requiring masks instead _____50_____ simply recommending their use.
【答案】41. the
42. causing
43. unfamiliar
44. asked 45. cries
46. cultural
47. which 48. Seemingly
49. to wear
50. of
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。介绍了随着新冠病毒开始席卷欧洲，西方一些国家先是劝阻人们不要戴口罩，转变为要求人们带上口罩。
【41题详解】
考查定冠词。定冠词the用在形容词very、only、same等词的前边。此空后接形容词only+名词，应该用the修饰，意为“巴黎只有亚洲游客戴口罩”。故填the。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：巴黎——直到几周前，巴黎还只有亚洲游客戴口罩，随着新冠病毒开始席卷欧洲，这引起了法国当地人的困惑、怀疑，甚至敌意。分析句子可知，动词cause与逻辑主语“Asian tourists were the only mask wearers in Paris,”之间是主动关系，应该用动词的现在分词作状语。故填causing。
【43题详解】
考查形容词变形。句意：法国政府发言人Sibeth Ndiaye警告，人们对口罩太不熟悉，从技术上说，戴口罩难度太大，甚至可能会“适得其反”。结果状语从句结构是：so+形容词+that（如此……以至于……）。so后接形容词；由句意可知，此处意为“不熟悉”。因此将形容词familiar（熟悉的）变成形容词unfamiliar（不熟悉的）。故填unfamiliar。
【44题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。when引导是时间状语从句中主语与主句主语相同，且从句谓语动词是be动词时，从句可省略主语谓语。由完整的句子“when she was asked whether she wore a mask or made her children wear one,”可知，省略主语和谓语之后，应该填asked。故填asked。
【45题详解】
考查名词复数。形容词increasing后修饰名词，因此此空填名词；又根据介词短语“from experts”作后置定语可知，是很多专家呼吁，因此此空名词应为复数。故填cries。
【46题详解】
考查词性转换。形容词修饰名词，此空后为名词resistance，故将名词culture变成形容词cultural。故填cultural。
【47题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处是非限制性定语从句，先行词是mask-wearing，关系词在从句中作“described”的宾语，因此由which来引导。故填which。
【48题详解】
考查副词。句意：看起来，这种情况不会持续太久。副词作状语，修饰整个句子“it won’t be for much longer.”。因此将动词seem变成副词seemingly。此空位于句首，单词首字母大写。故填Seemingly。
【49题详解】
考查动词搭配。动词搭配urge sb. to do sth. 意为“力劝某人做某事”。故填to wear。
【50题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：欧洲一些地区比美国动作更快，他们不是简单地建议戴口罩，而是要求人们戴上口罩。instead of 意为“代替；（是……）而不是……”。故填of。

本文是记叙文。讲述了作者上周日晚上去看芭蕾舞《牡丹亭》，对芭蕾舞有了新了解。从此喜欢上了芭蕾舞。
【详解】1.考查名词。此处指上周日晚上，是last Sunday evening，用名词修饰evening，不用所有格，故Sunday’s 改为 Sunday。
2.考查动词时态。此处指作者看芭蕾舞剧之前的想法，根据last Sunday evening和went可知用一般过去时，故think 改为thought。
3.考查形容词。修饰名词beauty用形容词，指“独特的美丽”，故uniquely 改为unique。
4.考查被动语态。此处指我被吸引，是被动语态。was后用过去分词，故absorb 改为absorbed。
5.考查冠词。此处指中国舞蹈的音乐，music由its修饰，music前的the是多余的，故the music前删除the。
6.考查连词。句意：表演中大量借鉴了中国舞蹈及其音乐，所以东方的影响是显而易见的。前后句不是转折关系，是因果关系。故but 改为so。
7.考查固定短语。表示“被……充满”是be filled with，故in 改为with。
8.考查名词。此处指“以很多不同的方式”，由different修饰名词要用复数，故way 改为ways。
9.考查代词。句意：我非常喜欢它，以至于它改变了我对芭蕾的看法。此处指“改变了我的观点”，故opinion前面加my。
10.考查动词形式。“迫不及待做某事”是can’t wait to do sth.，to后加动词原形，故going 改为 go。
