When I was a kid, if someone told me that I would grow up to become a published author and founder of a youth literacy (读写能力)foundation, I would have laughed and kept walking. Even now when I see the title of my latest picture book, My Very Favorite Book in the Whole Wide World, I shake my head, not quite believing that book has my name on it. But the truth is, this story comes from my own personal experience.
It took me a very long time to find my personal reading voice. In Valdosta, Ga., where I grew up, my community promoted two pathways to a better life for little boys like me: being an athlete and being an entertainer. I was no different than the other kids, so I did what felt natural: Play football and overlook school. School presented challenges every day and so did football practice, but overcoming physical adversity (逆境) was on trend with my neighborhood’s culture. Reading books not so much.
Fortunately, I went to college. That’s where my reading struggles really reared their ugly head. Trips to the grocery store were stressful because there was so much reading involved in the simple act of buying food. I would misread labels and grab the wrong items. Once, I picked up apple sauce thinking it was apple slices. I didn’t notice my mistake until I got home and realized that it was my inability to understand the differences in the wording on the labels that caused the mistake. I realized that I needed to make an important decision. If I wanted to be a better version of me, I had to become a stronger reader.
I joined a book club and read every free moment I had. My journey with reading also created a desire in me to inspire others who struggle with reading. So I started a nonprofit, Share the Magic Foundation, trying to transform the lives of children living in underserved communities through literacy.
4. What does the author think of his new book?
A. It’s beyond his expectation. B. It’s helpful for youth literacy.
C. It³s full of humor and wisdom. D. It’s an exact record of his early life.
5. What was the root reason for the author³s failure to find his reading voice?
A. The influence of his community. B. His dream to be an entertainer.
C. The challenges he met in study. D. His preference for football.
6. What does the underlined phrase “reared their ugly head“ in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Changed. B. Concluded. C. Surfaced. D. Disappeared.
7. Which of the following best describes the author?
A. Reflective and warm-hearted. B. Persuasive and absent-minded.
C. Creative and stubborn. D. Ambitious and cautious.
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了原本不重视阅读的作者通过努力克服自身的阅读障碍，最终成功出版书籍、成立非营利性组织帮助他人的故事。
【详解】 1.推理判断题。由文章第一段“When I was a kid, if someone told me that I would grow up to become a published author and founder of a youth literacy (读写能力)foundation, I would have laughed and kept walking.Even now when I see the title of my latest picture book, My Very Favorite Book in the Whole Wide World, I shake my head, not quite believing that book has my name on it. (当我还是个孩子的时候，如果有人告诉我，我长大后会成为一名出版作家和一个青年识字基金会的创始人，我会笑，继续走路。即使现在，当我看到我最新图画书的标题，My Very Favorite Book in the Whole Wide World，我摇摇头，不太相信那本书上有我的名字。)”可知，作者假设还小的时候有人跟他说以后他能成为出版商和创始人，他会一笑了之，即使现在看到自己的书，也不相信是书上有他自己的名字，可以推断出作者认为他的新书超出了他的预期，故选A。

2.细节理解题。由文章第二段“In Valdosta, Ga., where I grew up, my community promoted two pathways to a better life for little boys like me: being an athlete and being an entertainer. I was no different than the other kids, so I did what felt natural: Play football and overlook school. School presented challenges every day and so did football practice, but overcoming physical adversity (逆境) was on trend with my neighborhood’s culture. Reading books not so much.(在佐治亚州的瓦尔多斯塔,在我长大的地方，我的社区为像我这样的小男孩开辟了两条走向更好生活的道路：成为一名运动员或一名艺人。我和其他孩子没有什么不同，所以我做了一件感觉很自然的事情：踢足球，忽略上学。学习每天都有挑战，足球练习也有挑战，但克服身体逆境是我的社区文化的趋势。读书不用太多。)”可知，在作者所在的那个社区像作者这样的小男孩被固定了两条通往更美好生活的道路——成为运动员或艺人，作者觉得这很自然，这是作者社区文化的趋势，读书不多，所以作者未能找到自己读书的声音的根本原因是社区对他的影响，而C项只是表面的一个挑战，故选A。
3.词句猜测题。由下文“Trips to the grocery store were stressful because there was so much reading involved in the simple act of buying food. I would misread labels and grab the wrong items. Once, I picked up apple sauce thinking it was apple slices. I didn’t notice my mistake until I got home and realized that it was my inability to understand the differences in the wording on the labels that caused the mistake. I realized that I needed to make an important decision. If I wanted to be a better version of me, I had to become a stronger reader.(去杂货店的旅行很紧张，因为购买食物的简单行为涉及到太多的阅读。我会误读标签，拿走错误的东西。有一次，我拿起了苹果酱，以为那是苹果片。我没有注意到我的错误，直到我回家后才意识到是我无法理解标签上措辞的不同，才导致了这个错误。我意识到我需要做出一个重要的决定。如果我想成为一个更好的自己，我就必须成为一个更强大的读者。)”可知，作者在读大学时候由于阅读障碍认错、买错了许多东西，所以他决定努力阅读，上文写他所在的社区读书不多，所以这一句“ That’s where my reading struggles really reared their ugly head.”是承接句，故这句话的意思应该是那就是我阅读争斗都展现出来了的地方，结合“head”可以推断出划线处的意思为“浮出水面”，故选C。
4.推理判断题。由文章最后一段“I joined a book club and read every free moment I had. My journey with reading also created a desire in me to inspire others who struggle with reading. So I started a nonprofit, Share the Magic Foundation, trying to transform the lives of children living in underserved communities through literacy.(我加入了一个读书俱乐部，在我拥有的每一个自由时间阅读。我的阅读之旅也让我产生了一种欲望，去激励那些努力阅读的人。所以我创办了一个非营利组织，Share the Magic Foundation，试图通过识字来改变生活在服务不足社区的儿童的生活。)”可知，作者希望激励那些在阅读中挣扎的人，所以成立一个非营利组织，努力通过扫盲改变生活在服务不足社区的儿童的生活，作者这么做是由于自己的经历想帮助更多像他一样的儿童，可以推断出作者是热心的，而且这也是深思后做的决定，故选A。
C
Can you imagine there being a community where boys and girls growing up together can finally speak different languages? In Ubang Nigeria, it really happens. It’s not exactly clear what percentage of the words in the men’s and women’s languages are different, but there are enough examples to make sentences sound different when spoken by the opposite sex. For “clothing”, men use the word “nki”, while women say “ariga”; “kitchi” means tree for men, while women say “okweng”. These are not just some slight pronunciation differences, but totally different words. “It’s almost like two different lexicons (词汇集),” a language expert, Chi Chi Undle said. “There are a lot of words that men and women share in common, but there are others which are totally different depending on your sex. They don’t sound alike, and don’t have the same letters. They are completely different words.”
Interestingly, both men and women are able to understand each other perfectly in Ubang, as both boys and girls grow up around their parents and get to learn both languages, but by the age of 10, boys are expected to speak in the male tongue. It seems that there is a stage the male will reach and he discovers he is not using the rightful language. When he starts speaking the men’s language, you know the maturity is coming into him.
No one really knows how or why the double-language tradition of Ubang began. Chi Chi Undie believes the two languages are the result of a “double-sex culture” where men and women operate in two separate spheres (范围) and live in separate worlds that rarely come together. However, she admits this is a weak theory, as the double-sex culture is present in many parts of Africa, where there are no different languages for men and women.
Today, with English words constantly entering the lexicon of young Nigerians, Ubang’s two languages are in danger of being lost forever. Worse still, neither the male nor female language is written down, so they both rely on young people passing them down to the next generation.
8. What do we know about languages in Ubang?
A. Word differences account for a high percentage.
B. Men and women speak totally different languages.
C. Word differences partly exist between the opposite sex.
D. Men and women pronounce differently on the same word.
9. Why can me and women understand each other easily in Ubang?
A. Their lexicons sound alike.
B They learn both languages at school.
C. The men can speak two different languages.
D. They are exposed to both languages in their childhood.
10. What does Chi Chi Undie want to explore in Paragraph 3?
A. The change of double-sex culture.
B. The theory of doube-sex culture.
C. The origin of double-language tradition.
D. The sphere of double-language tradition.
11. How does the author feel about the disappearing languages in Ubang?
A. Frightened. B. Concerned.
C. Confused. D. Stressed.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了尼日利亚乌邦语的特点，男性和女性的语言在词汇上有一定的差别。文章分析了这种语言现象的原因，特点以及这种语言现象存在即将消失的危险。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段““There are a lot of words that men and women share in common, but there are others which are totally different depending on your sex. They don’t sound alike, and don’t have the same letters. They are completely different words.”(“有很多男人和女人共用的词汇，但根据你的性别，有些词完全不同。它们听起来不一样，字母也不一样。它们是完全不同的词。”)”可知，尼日利亚乌邦语中，女性和男性在词汇上有很大的不同，即：在尼日利亚乌邦语中，部分词汇因性别不同而不同。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句话“Interestingly, both men and women are able to understand each other perfectly in Ubang, as both boys and girls grow up around their parents and get to learn both languages, but by the age of 10, boys are expected to speak in the male tongue.(有趣的是，在乌邦，男人和女人都能完全理解对方，因为男孩和女孩都在父母身边长大，学习两种语言，但到10岁时，男孩预计会说男性语言)”可知，在乌邦，女人和男人能够完全理解对方，是因为他们在童年时是在这种语言环境中长大的。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第一句话“No one really knows how or why the double-language tradition of Ubang began. (没有人真正知道乌邦的双语传统是如何或为什么开始的）”可推知，Chi Chi Undie想在第三段中探讨乌邦双语传统的起源。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Worse still, neither the male nor female language is written down, so they both rely on young people passing them down to the next generation.(更糟糕的是，男性和女性语言都没有被记录下来，因此他们都依赖年轻人将其传给下一代)”可推知，作者担心乌邦的双语传统会消失。故选B。
D
From airplanes to apartments, most spaces are now designed with sound-absorbing materials that help decrease various sounds of everyday life. But most of the sound-absorbing materials that can cancel out human voices, traffic noise and music are made from plastic foams (泡沫) that aren’t easily recycled or degraded. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering have created a biodegradable film (薄膜) obtained from seaweed, which effectively absorbs sounds in this range.
Controlling and optimizing the way sound moves throughout a room is the key to creating functional spaces. Foam sound-absorbing panels are a common solution, and they come in a variety of materials and thicknesses tailored to specific sound requirements. Most of these foams, however, are made from a type of plastic material and other chemical substances that are obtained from natural oil or petrol. To avoid petrochemicals, researchers have explored more renewable sources and biodegradable sound-absorbing alternatives. But many current options are made from plant fibers that don’t effectively decrease noises in the most useful range of sound frequencies, or they are too thick or difficult to produce. So, Chindam’s team wanted to develop a biodegradable material from a plant, which would be simple to produce and could absorb a range of sounds.
The team created films of agar (琼脂), a material that comes from seaweed, along with other additives developed from plants and varied the thickness of the films. After running the materials through a battery of tests, the researchers measured how well the films reduced sound across a range of frequencies. To do this, the team created a sound tube in which a speaker is placed at one end, and the test film is fitted over the other end. Microphones in the middle of the tube measured the amount of sound sent by the speaker and the amount of sound reflected off the film. These experiments showed that the films with many small holes made with the highest concentrations of agar had the greatest sound-absorbing qualities and performed similarly to traditional sound-absorbing foams. The researchers plan to explore ways to change the agar films to give them other desirable properties, such as flame resistance, and will explore other biologically obtained film materials.
12. What is the disadvantage of plastic foams?
A. They take up, too much space. B. They cannot absorb sounds effectively.
C. They cannot meet specific sound requirements. D. They have difficulty achieving sustainable use.
13. What kind of sound-absorbing material would Chindam’s team develop?
A. One obtained easily and effectively. B. One produced toughly and tiredly.
C. One developed from petrochemicals. D. One made from plant fibers.
14. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The purpose of film research. B. A series of tests on the new material.
C. A tool of measuring the film thickness. D. The difficulty of searching the new material.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. An Eco-friendly Sound-absorbing Material from Seaweed
B. Plastic Foams: the Worst Choice of Absorbing Sounds
C. A Tube for Measuring the Amount of Underwater Sounds
D. Seaweed: a Better Sound-absorbing Underwater Plant
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。现在，研究人员在《ACS可持续化学与工程》杂志上报告称，他们从海藻中提取了一种可生物降解的薄膜，可以有效地吸收这一范围内的声音。文章介绍了泡沫塑料的缺点以及这种环保吸音材料的开发过程。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“But most of the sound-absorbing materials that can cancel out human voices, traffic noise and music are made from plastic foams (泡沫) that aren’t easily recycled or degraded.(但大多数能消除人声、交通噪音和音乐的吸音材料都是由不易回收或降解的泡沫塑料制成的)”可知，泡沫塑料的缺点是它们难以实现可持续利用。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“So, Chindam’s team wanted to develop a biodegradable material from a plant, which would be simple to produce and could absorb a range of sounds.(所以，Chindam的团队想要从植物中开发出一种可生物降解的材料，这种材料生产简单，可以吸收一系列的声音)”可知，Chindam的团队会开发很容易就能得到的吸音材料。故选A。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The team created films of agar (琼脂), a material that comes from seaweed, along with other additives developed from plants and varied the thickness of the films. After running the materials through a battery of tests, the researchers measured how well the films reduced sound across a range of frequencies. To do this, the team created a sound tube in which a speaker is placed at one end, and the test film is fitted over the other end. Microphones in the middle of the tube measured the amount of sound sent by the speaker and the amount of sound reflected off the film.

The researchers plan to explore ways to change the agar films to give them other desirable properties, such as flame resistance, and will explore other biologically obtained film materials.(该团队制作了琼脂薄膜，琼脂是一种来自海藻的材料，还有从植物中提取的其他添加剂，可以改变薄膜的厚度。在对材料进行了一系列测试后，研究人员测量了薄膜在一定频率范围内降低声音的效果。为此，研究小组制作了一种声管，其中一端放置扬声器，另一端安装测试胶片。管子中间的麦克风测量扬声器发出的声音量和从薄膜反射的声音量。这些实验表明，用最高浓度的琼脂制成的带有许多小孔的薄膜具有最好的吸音质量，其性能与传统的吸音泡沫相似。研究人员计划探索改变琼脂膜的方法，使其具有其他理想的性能，如阻燃性，并将探索其他生物获得的膜材料)”可知，最后一段主要讲的是对新材料的一系列测试。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Now, researchers reporting in ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering have created a biodegradable film (薄膜) obtained from seaweed, which effectively absorbs sounds in this range.(现在，研究人员在《ACS可持续化学与工程》杂志上报告称，他们从海藻中提取了一种可生物降解的薄膜，可以有效地吸收这一范围内的声音)”结合文章介绍了泡沫塑料的缺点以及这种环保吸音材料的开发过程。可知，A选项“一种来自海藻的环保吸音材料”最符合文章标题。故选A。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It’s regularly claimed that you’ll be more productive if you get up early. Very early. According to a 2016 Wall Street Journal article, the most successful and therefore productive people typically rise at 4 a. m. ____16____ For instance, if you’re awake while everyone else is still asleep, they won’t distract you, so you’ll be more productive.
However, the science tells a very different story. ____17____ An important one stems from our own biology. Sleep is crucial for our ability to function, and depriving yourself of it does more harm than good.
____18____ Less than that quickly has negative health effects, compromising mood, memory, stress tolerance, and more. Forcing yourself to wake at 4 a. m means you’re losing sleep, and will be less productive as a result.
Some people seem able to get away with it, being natural “early risers”. ____19____ A study by the National Sleep Foundation stated that “Individuals who habitually sleep outside the normal range may be exhibiting symptoms of serious health problems or even may be compromising their health and well- being”. Another study claims sleeping far fewer hours than average is more likely to be self-enforced than anything natural. ____20____
There may be some productive advantages to waking up in the early hours. However, these can easily be canceled out by the consequences of lost sleep.
A. There’s some logic to it.
B. However, they did make it.
C. However, the admiration for them may be misplaced.
D. And it will put people in a significant sleep debt, harming health.
E. A typically healthy amount of sleep for adults is around 7 to 9 hours.
F. Therefore, there is a great possibility that people will be natural early risers.
G. There are many reasons why waking up at 4 am could be actively unproductive.
【答案】16. A 17. G 18. E 19. C 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章利用早起工作效率会更高的话题引入，表明作者的观点——实际上，睡眠时间远远少于平均水平会对人们的身体健康造成很多的伤害。
【16题详解】
根据上文“It’s regularly claimed that you’ll be more productive if you get up early. Very early. According to a 2016 Wall Street Journal article, the most successful and therefore productive people typically rise at 4 a. m.”(人们经常声称，如果你起得非常早的话，你的工作效率会更高。根据2016年《华尔街日报》的一篇文章，最成功，因此最有生产力的人通常在凌晨4点起床。)和下文“For instance, if you’re awake while everyone else is still asleep, they won’t distract you, so you’ll be more productive.”(例如，如果你醒着的时候其他人都还在睡觉，他们不会分散你的注意力，所以你会更有效率。)可知，上文提到早起工作效率会更高，下文举例说明这样说是正确的，所以中间需要过渡句连贯上下文。选项A“这是有逻辑的。”和上下文意思连贯。故选A。
【17题详解】
根据上文“However, the science tells a very different story.”(然而，科学告诉我们一个非常不同的事情。)可知，接下来作者要陈述的是和第一段提到的早起工作效率会更高这一理论不一样的观点。选项G“有很多原因可以解释为什么早晨4点起床会非常低效。”和上文意思一致。故选G。
【18题详解】
根据下文“Less than that quickly has negative health effects, compromising mood, memory, stress tolerance, and more. Forcing yourself to wake at 4 a. m means you’re losing sleep, and will be less productive as a result.”(低于这个数字很快就会对健康产生负面影响，影响情绪、记忆力、压力承受能力等等。强迫自己凌晨4点起床意味着你正在失去睡眠，并且会因此而降低工作效率。)可知，这里提到了“这个数字”，所以上文要提到“这个数字”是什么。选项E“对成年人来说，一个典型的健康睡眠时间大约是7到9小时。”和下文意思一致。故选E。
【19题详解】
根据下文“A study by the National Sleep Foundation stated that “Individuals who habitually sleep outside the normal range may be exhibiting symptoms of serious health problems or even may be compromising their health and well- being”.”(美国国家睡眠基金会的一项研究表明，“习惯性睡眠超出正常范围的人可能表现出严重健康问题的症状，甚至可能损害他们的健康和幸福。”。)可知，上文要提到这些习惯性睡眠超出正常范围的人的做法是不对的。选项C“然而，对他们的钦佩可能是错误的。”和下文意思一致。故选C。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Another study claims sleeping far fewer hours than average is more likely to be self-enforced than anything natural.”(另一项研究表明，睡眠时间远远少于平均水平比任何自然事物更有可能是自我强制的。)可知，这里提到睡眠时间远远少于平均水平的坏处。选项D“而且这会使人们陷入严重的睡眠负担，损害健康。”和上文意思一致。故选D。

I had not hugged a friend or a family member for more than two years until recently when my sister-in-law flew in for a brief visit. For everyone’s safety, we met outside.

She hugged me with both arms and ____26____ me into her house. I was still in her arms when the ambulance arrived. Thankfully, I made a full physical ____27____, but the emotional scars never left me. Years later there was another ____28____ near my house. I was safe, but my father had left to buy a loaf of bread. He had only just ____29____ the explosion. When he came back, I gave him the biggest hug ____30____ I was caked in tears as I held him ____31____. That same night my parents ____32____ to arrange my escape from our war-torn city. They desperately wanted at least some of my childhood to be ____33____. I was 16 and came to America on my own. A ____34____ host family took me in and I began learning English and going to school. They had a large dog called Oscar. Over the next several months, I secretly struggled with feeling ____35____ and worried about my family back home. Despite getting on quite well at school, I couldn’t ____36____ my feelings. The only way I shared how I felt was by giving Oscar a big hug.
Perhaps we have undervalued the ____37____ of a simple hug.

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了中国女篮在世锦赛再一次上获得银牌，以及女篮队长对未来的计划。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：28年前，中国队首次在世锦赛上获得银牌。上周，中国队以一种更令人信服方式再次获得了银牌。分析句子结构可知medal是可数名词，句中用的是单数，前应用不定冠词修饰，silver为辅音音素开头，所以用a。故填a。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意：尽管以63比83负于世界排名第一的球队，但中国队的决心赢得了国内外的尊重，也提升了整个国家的国庆精神。分析句子结构可知，空前是名词所有格China’s，所以空处应填名词，determine的名词是determination意为“决心”，为不可数名词。故填determination。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：尽管以63比83负于世界排名第一的球队，但中国队的决心赢得了国内外的尊重，也在国庆的时候提升了整个国家的民族精神。分析句子结构可知，在具体某一天前需加介词on。故填on。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意：当运动员们在颁奖仪式上把银牌挂在脖子上时，他们可能会想起北京训练大厅墙上的一张照片。分析句子结构可知，medal意为“奖牌”是可数名词，根据空前的players可知，应该用复数形式。故填medals。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这是一张日本女队庆祝胜利的照片。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词was，所以celebrate应该用非谓语形式，它的逻辑主语是Japanese women’s team，两者间是主动关系，描述的是已发生的事，所以应该用现在分词形式。故填celebrating。
【46题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：这张照片拍摄于2015年，当时日本队以35分的优势击败东道主中国女篮，赢得了国际篮联亚洲女篮锦标赛的冠军，而中国女篮正处于历史最低点。分析句子结构可知，本句缺少谓语动词，所以take应该做谓语，主语是The photo为第三人称单数，两者间是被动关系，用被动语态，再根据时间状语in 2015可知，用一般过去时。故填was taken。
【47题详解】
考查形容词。句意：这张照片拍摄于2015年，当时日本队以35分的优势击败东道主中国女篮，赢得了国际篮联亚洲女篮锦标赛的冠军，而中国女篮正处于历史最低点。分析句子结构可知，空前是系动词was，所以空处应填形容词，再根据句意可知表达是“历史最低点”之意，应该用最高级。故填lowest。
【48题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：我们可以从比赛中发现的问题中学到更多。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词could learn，所以find应该用非谓语形式，它的逻辑主语是problems，两者间是被动关系，所以应该用过去分词表被动。故填found。
【49题详解】
考查连词。句意：她对最新的成就保持清醒的头脑，并期望她的团队继续成长。分析句子结构可知，“remained clear-minded about the latest achievement”和“expected her team to continue to grow.”是并列关系，所以应该用连词and。故填and。
【50题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：到目前为止，我们已经确定了下一个目标。分析句子结构可知，本句缺少谓语动词，所以set应该做谓语，根据时间状语Up to now可知，应该用现在完成时，主语是we为复数。故填have set。

Good morning, everyone. It is my honor to stand here and share with something about traveling. Which I’d like to convey is that to travel is also to learn. Take my journey to Xi’an for example. Previous, I did learn something about the city from books and TV programs. Therefore, I didn’t know what wonderful it was until I was there in person. When traveling, we can feel the surrounding with our own eyes, noses and so on, thus broaden our horizons. The picture taken on the Great Wall is good reminder of my happy days when I stay in Xi’an. So everyone, seize every chance or you will start an amazing journey to learn.
【答案】1. 去掉with
2. Which→What
3. Previous→Previously
4. Therefor→However
5. what→how
6. surrounding→surroundings
7. broaden→broadening
8. good前加a
9. stay→stayed
10. or→and


【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。本文是发言稿，作者以自己的旅行经历说明了旅行也是一种学习。
【详解】1.考查及物动词。句意：我很荣幸站在这里分享一些关于旅行的东西。share是及物动词，后面直接接宾语，with多余。故去掉with。
2.考查主语从句连接词。句意：我想表达的是，旅行也是为了学习。__I’d like to convey是主语从句，从句中缺乏宾语，应用连接代词what，首字母大写。故将Which改为What。
3. 考查副词。句意：以前，我确实从书本和电视节目中了解了一些关于这个城市的情况。分析句子结构可知，Previous修饰后面的整个句子，做状语，应该用副词修饰，Previous的副词形式是Previously。故将Previous改为Previously。
4.考查副词。句意：然而，直到我亲自去那里，我才知道它有多棒。本句与前句是转折关系，用副词however意为“然而”符合句意，首字母大写。故将Therefore改为However。
5.考查感叹句。句意：然而，直到我亲自去那里，我才知道它有多棒。动词know后接感叹句__wonderful it was做宾语从句，连接词和主语间只有形容词，符合固定句型：how +adj./adv.+主+谓，所以用how。故将what改为how。
6.考查名词。句意：旅行时，我们可以用自己的眼睛、鼻子等感觉周围的环境，从而开阔我们的视野。此处名词surrounding意为“周围的环境”，是可数名词，此处应该用复数形式。故将surrounding改为surroundings。
7.考查现在分词。句意：旅行时，我们可以用自己的眼睛、鼻子等感觉周围的环境，从而开阔我们的视野。本句已有谓语can feel且无连词，动词broaden用非谓语形式，broaden此动作是由前句产生的自然而然、意料之中的结果，所以broaden用现在分词作结果状语。故将broaden改为broadening。
8. 考查冠词。句意：在长城上拍的照片很好地提醒了我在西安的快乐时光，所以每个人，抓住每一个机会，你将开始一段奇妙的学习之旅。分析句子结构可知，reminder是可数名词，本句中用的是单数形式，所以前应用不定冠词修饰，应加在good前，good为辅音音素开头，所以用a。故在good前加啊。
9. 考查动词时态。句意：在长城上拍的照片很好地提醒了我在西安的快乐时光，所以每个人，抓住每一个机会，你将开始一段奇妙的学习之旅。根据前文和句意可知，去西安旅游是过去发生的事，应该用一般过去时。故将stay改为stayed。
10.考查连词。句意：在长城上拍的照片很好地提醒了我在西安的快乐时光，所以每个人，抓住每一个机会，你将开始一段奇妙的学习之旅。祈使句+ and/or +含有一般将来时的陈述句，该句型中and表示前后句是顺接关系，意思是“那么”；or表示前后句是转折关系，意思是“否则”。此处是顺接关系，用and。故将or改为and。

【答案】Possible version:
Dear Nick,
How’s it going? Firstly, I sincerely send my congratulations to you on your good job in World Team Table Tennis Championships. Knowing that you are interested in the colour red widely used in China, I’m more than glad to make a brief introduction of it to you.
We Chinese people do like red, for red stands for happiness and good fortune in our culture. Therefore, you can see people wearing red clothes and red lanterns hanging during the Spring Festival and National Day which you just experienced during your stay in Chengdu. And the senior citizens even give their grandchildren some lucky money in red envelopes. Besides, young couples are also dressed in red on their weddings. However, be sure to avoid wearing red clothes during some sad events, such as attending funerals, which are occasions when the color white is mainly used in our culture, and visiting some patients. If you do so, it is really rude.
I truly hope my explanation will be of great use for you. Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
