Before the camera was invented, the natural world was recorded in paintings and sketches (素描) by artists like John James Audubon.
As a boy growing up in France, Audubon loved the woods and enjoyed hanging out in the wild, collecting avian (鸟类的) curiosities-bird nests and eggs-and made simple drawings. After a period of failed service in the navy, his father sent him to America.
While his father hoped his curious son would make something of himself in mining or some other enterprises, John Audubon was consumed with the natural world. His other main interest was young Lucy Bakewell, who was also enthusiastic about the natural world. Soon, the two fell in love with each other and got married.
Awakened by the need to provide for his wife and children, Audubon tried his hand as a store owner yet failed. His next business also failed. Then he learned fishing from his friend and earned a living by selling fishes. But he got into debt soon. When Audubon paid his debts off, he decided to follow his original passion. He set off into the wilderness, carrying little more than some basic necessities and drawing materials. There, at last, he found his calling in life.
Audubon usually stayed for months at a time in the wilderness, rising long before dawn to observe and returning in full light to paint all afternoon. At one point, he lost over 200 drawings, his entire collection, when rats found their way into his cabin and chewed them up. Again, he started over, just like how he reacted to business failures. After 14 years of tramping (长途跋涉) in the wilderness with his pen and ink, he had his collection of drawings. But the popularity of avian drawings was slow to catch on in America. Still, he refused to give up. He earned enough to pay for the passage to Europe to take his chances there.
Fortunately, he was well received in England. His 435 original works came to be known as the greatest picture book ever created: The Birds of America. Eventually, John Audubon opened our minds not only to the beauty around us but also to the beauty of possibilities-if we just keep trying.
4. What do we know about Audubon as a little boy?
A. He was deeply attracted by wild birds. B. He enjoyed reading books on ecology.
C. He showed interest in photography. D. He wanted to join the navy.
5. Why did Audubon try different enterprises before setting off into the wilderness?
A. To gain financial support for his passion. B. To support his newly formed family.
C. To learn from other businessmen. D. To follow his father’s dream.
6. How did Audubon probably feel after losing all his drawings?
A. Stuck and puzzled. B. Discouraged and hesitant.
C. Determined and hopeful. D. Angry and pitiful.
7. What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 5?
A. Audubon’s unique experiences in the wilderness.
B. Audubon’s efforts to pursue his artistic career.
C. Audubon’s appreciation of natural scenery.
D. Audubon’s attempts to learn drawing.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了艺术家John James Audubon的生平故事，他通过绘画来记录世界，不仅让我们看到了周围美景，也让我们看到另一种可能性——只要我们不断尝试，就能发现美好。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“As a boy growing up in France, Audubon loved the woods and enjoyed hanging out in the wild, collecting avian (鸟类的) curiosities-bird nests and eggs-and made simple drawings.（作为一个在法国长大的男孩，Audubon喜欢森林，喜欢在野外闲逛，喜欢收集各种鸟巢和鸟蛋，这份好奇心使得他能够画简单的画）”可知，Audubon被大自然中鸟类所深深吸引。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Awakened by the need to provide for his wife and children, Audubon tried his hand as a store owner yet failed. His next business also failed. Then he learned fishing from his friend and earned a living by selling fishes. But he got into debt soon. When Audubon paid his debts off, he decided to follow his original passion. He set off into the wilderness（Audubon意识到自己需要养活妻子和孩子，他试着当店主，但失败了。他的下一个生意也失败了。后来他跟朋友学了钓鱼，靠卖鱼为生。但他很快就负债累累。当Audubon还清债务后，他决定追随自己最初的热情。他只带了一些基本的生活必需品和绘画材料，就向荒野进发）”可知，在进军荒野之前，Audubon尝试不同的行业是为了养活自己的妻子和孩子即新组建的家庭。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Again, he started over, just like how he reacted to business failures. After 14 years of tramping (长途跋涉) in the wilderness with his pen and ink, he had his collection of drawings. But the popularity of avian drawings was slow to catch on in America. Still, he refused to give up（再一次，他重新开始，就像他对商业失败的反应一样。他带着钢笔和墨水在野外流浪了14年，有了自己的绘画收藏。但鸟类绘画在美国的流行速度很慢。然而，他拒绝放弃）”可知，Audubon在失去他所有画之后，他选择重新开始，并不辞辛劳长途跋涉专心绘画，并未放弃。由此推断出，Audubon是内心无比坚定并充满希望的。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“Audubon usually stayed for months at a time in the wilderness, rising long before dawn to observe and returning in full light to paint all afternoon（Audubon通常会在野外待上几个月，天还没亮就起床观察，然后在阳光充足的情况下返回，整个下午都在画画）可知，第五段作者主要讲述了Audubon为了追求自己的艺术梦想，不断努力。故选B。
C
One of the greatest sources of concern for Alaina Castillo has been the letter R.
Rolling Rs is at the heart of learning Spanish and one of its most challenging trills (颤音), especially for those unaccessible to the language regularly as a young child.
This is a lesson the 21-year-old singer spent years learning in and out of school. And it’s one that has paid off for Castillo, particularly on TikTok (抖音), which has made efforts to train its Spanish creators.
The Houston native is part of a flourishing Spanish and Latinx creator community that has attracted huge followings through videos that briefly translate cultural traditions and history for a young and captive TikTok audience.
“TikTok is a window to the world, and we’ve seen people across the worldwide Latinx and Spanish connect with one another on the platform through shared stories and experiences,” Kudzi Chikumbu, TikTok’s director of creator community, told CNN over email.
TikTok videos from Spanish creators are also getting consumed more than ever.
TikTok hashtags (主题标签) #Latino, #Latina, #Familia and #Comida, among others, grew in use by more than 185% since last year’s Spanish Heritage Month, according to data shared by TikTok spokesperson Cynthia Dew. The hashtags #Latino and #Latina have more than 62 billion views combined to date, Dew added.
Millions of those views belong to Castillo, who joined TikTok roughly a year ago to share original Spanish and English songs, as well as covers.
When she started making music, Castillo thought she’d be singing in English. That changed after her family encouraged her to write records in Spanish after learning the language in high school, Castillo told CNN.
“There’s a lot of different opinions when it comes to Latinx or people like me who are learning Spanish, so I made it my job to write records that bridge the gap between Spanish speakers and those who want to learn but were never taught,” she said.
8. What worries Castillo most in learning Spanish?
A. She is an American Native. B. She had no access to Spanish as young.
C. “R” is difficult to pronounce. D. She has no gift for a second language.
9. What do the underlined words “the language” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Latin. B. Spanish.
C. English. D. Rolling Rs.
10. How do you like Castillo from her experience?
A. Anxious and slow. B. Creative and humorous.
C. Strong-willed and enthusiastic. D. Brave and popular.
11. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Castillo helps non-Spanish speakers a lot.
B. People can understand Latinx people well.
C. People of different languages stand apart.
D. Castillo is fond of writing English records.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了年轻歌手Castillo在抖音上出西班牙语写的唱片来弥合西班牙语者与想学而无人教授西班牙语者之间的差距，并使之成为其工作，这对于非西班牙语者的学习是有很大帮助的。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文中第一段“One of the greatest sources of concern for Alaina Castillo has been the letter R.( Alaina Castillo最担心的是字母R。)”和第二段“Rolling Rs is at the heart of learning Spanish and one of its most challenging trills (R音是学习西班牙语的核心，也是它最具挑战性的颤音之一。)”可知，西班牙语中的字母R的颤音发音是Castillo最大的焦虑源之一，尤其是对于像她那样，小时候没怎么接触西班牙语的人来说，更是难上加难了。故选C。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段中“Rolling Rs is at the heart of learning Spanish and one of its most challenging trills(R音是学习西班牙语的核心，也是它最具挑战性的颤音之一。)”可知，西班牙语中的字母R的颤音发音是Castillo最大的焦虑源之一，由此对于像Castillo这样小时候未接触过西班牙语的人是很难发出这个颤音的。故划线处的指代的是“西班牙语”。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“This is a lesson the 21-year-old singer spent years learning in and out of school. And it’s one that has paid off for Castillo. (就是这位21岁的歌手在学校内外花了多年时间学习的一课。这种做法给卡斯蒂略带来了回报.)”可知，Castillo坚持学习西班牙语，这体现出她意志坚定和最后一段““There’s a lot of different opinions when it comes to Latinx or people like me who are learning Spanish, so I made it my job to write records that bridge the gap between Spanish speakers and those who want to learn but were never taught,” she said.(“当涉及到拉丁语或像我这样正在学习西班牙语的人时，有很多不同的观点，所以我把写唱片作为我的工作，以弥合说西班牙语者和那些想学但从未被教过的人之间的差距，”她说。)”可知，Castillo在抖音上出西班牙语写的唱片来弥合西班牙语者与想学而无人教授西班牙语者之间的差距，并使之成为其工作，她对这份工作是充满热情的。故可以推断她是一个意志坚定且充满热情的人。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““There’s a lot of different opinions when it comes to Latinx or people like me who are learning Spanish, so I made it my job to write records that bridge the gap between Spanish speakers and those who want to learn but were never taught,” she said.(“当涉及到拉丁语或像我这样正在学习西班牙语的人时，有很多不同的观点，所以我把写唱片作为我的工作，以弥合说西班牙语者和那些想学但从未被教过的人之间的差距，”她说。)”可知，Castillo在抖音上出西班牙语写的唱片来弥合西班牙语者与想学而无人教授西班牙语者之间的差距，并使之成为其工作，这对于非西班牙语者的学习是有很大帮助的。故选A。
D
Kwanzaa may be a festival celebrated by millions of African Americans and pan-Africans, but it has only been around for a few decades (十年). Introduced to the United States in 1966 as a ceremony to welcome the first harvest to the home, the festival, which takes place from December 26 to January 1, is a celebration of life, unity, family, and culture.
Featuring feasts, music and dance, and a devotion and recommitment to different principles (信条), the festival was created in the middle of the Black Freedom Movement, at a time when it was felt that cultural grounding was needed.
Dr. Maulana Karenga, professor and chairman of Black Studies at California State University in Long Beach, is responsible for bringing the festival to life. After the Watts violence in L.A., Dr. Karenga searched for ways to strengthen the African-American community. He paired the practices with traditions of several different harvest celebrations on the African continent, and although it is celebrated around the Christmas period, it perhaps has more similarities to Thanksgiving or the Yam Festival in Ghana and Nigeria.
There are five common sets of values that are central to the week-long activities: ingathering, reverence, commemoration, recommitment, and celebration. There are seven principles of Kwanzaa, meaning first fruits in Kiswahili, a language spoken in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. The first fruit celebrations appear in ancient and modern times in classical African civilizations.
These seven principles are known as Umoja, meaning unity; kujichagulia, self-determination; ujima, collective work, and responsibility; ujamaa, cooperative economics; nia, purpose; kuumba, creativity; and Imani, faith. There are seven candles used during the festival, and like, the Jewish Hanukkah, these candles are used to represent the principles.
On December 31, participants celebrate with a plentiful meal, often featuring good meals from various African countries.
The number of Americans who celebrate Kwanzaa has changed greatly over the years, and with as many as six million getting involved in the 1980s, Kwanzaa became a mainstream holiday. Now, however, numbers have paled, but it still remains an important cultural touchstone (试金石) for many African American communities.
12 What activity can be included during the celebration of Kwanzaa?
A. Creating a piece of music. B. Having a plentiful meal.
C. Giving and receiving gifts. D. Enjoying an art exhibition.
13. How did Dr. Karenga bring Kwanzaa to life?
A. He started the Watts violence in Los Angeles.
B. He created five common sets of values.
C. He found ways to practice African traditions.
D. He strengthened the unity of neighbors.
14. What can we infer about the celebration of Kwanzaa?
A. Kwanzaa is a festival across the world.
B. Africans are considered important in the U.S..
C. Kwanzaa is an important cultural symbol.
D. Kwanzaa is less popular among young Africans.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A festival: The Culture Cross the World
B. African Americans: An Important Part of Americans
C. Principles: The Focus of a Festival
D. Kwanzaa: The African Celebration of Unity and Culture
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本篇是一篇说明文。主要介绍了非裔美国人和泛非洲人的宽扎节。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Featuring feasts, music and dance, and a devotion and recommitment to different principles, the festival was created in the middle of the Black Freedom Movement, at a time when it was felt that cultural grounding was needed.(这个节日的特色是盛宴、音乐和舞蹈，以及对不同原则的献身和重新承诺，它诞生于黑人自由运动(Black Freedom Movement)中期，当时人们认为需要文化基础)”可知，宽扎节的庆祝活动盛宴、音乐和舞蹈，对比选项。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Dr. Maulana Karenga, professor and chairman of Black Studies at California State University in Long Beach, is responsible for bringing the festival to life. After the Watts violence in L.A., Dr. Karenga searched for ways to strengthen the African-American community.(加州州立大学长滩分校黑人研究教授兼主席Maulana Karenga博士负责让这个节日变得活跃起来。洛杉矶瓦茨暴力事件发生后，卡伦加博士寻找加强非裔美国人社区的方法)”可知，卡伦加博士加强了邻居们的团结让宽扎节活跃起来。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“There are five common sets of values that are central to the week-long activities: ingathering, reverence, commemoration, recommitment, and celebration. There are seven principles of Kwanzaa, meaning first fruits in Kiswahili, a language spoken in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. The first fruit celebrations appear in ancient and modern times in classical African civilizations.(在为期一周的活动中，有五套共同的价值观是中心:聚集、尊敬、纪念、重新承诺和庆祝。宽扎节有七个原则，在肯尼亚、乌干达和坦桑尼亚使用的斯瓦希里语中，宽扎节意味着第一批果实。最早的水果庆典出现在古代和现代的古典非洲文明中)”可知，宽扎节有五套共同的价值观，有七个原则，所以我们能从宽扎节的庆祝活动中推断出宽扎节是一个重要的文化象征。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Kwanzaa may be a festival celebrated by millions of African Americans and pan-Africans, but it has only been around for a few decades. Introduced to the United States in 1966 as a ceremony to welcome the first harvest to the home, the festival, which takes place from December 26 to January 1, is a celebration of life, unity, family, and culture.(宽扎节可能是数百万非裔美国人和泛非洲人庆祝的节日，但它只有几十年的历史。这个节日于1966年传入美国，作为欢迎第一次丰收的仪式，从12月26日举行到1月1日，是庆祝生命、团结、家庭和文化的节日)”可知，本文主要介绍宽扎节，而宽扎节是庆祝生命、团结、家庭和文化的节日。所以最好的标题是D项“Kwanzaa: The African Celebration of Unity and Culture(宽扎节:非洲人庆祝团结和文化的节日)”符合文意。故选D项。
第二节 七选五 (共5个小题;每小题2分，满分10分)
Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking.___16___Do you want to be a good public speaker? Here are some principles you must master.
People want to listen to someone who is interesting, relaxed and comfortable. Too often when you stand up to give a speech, you focus on the “public”at the expense of the “speaking. ” ___17___ Focus on the speaking. Talk directly to your audience, be yourself and make a connection.
Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes. Yet, the only one who cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking. People’s attention wanders constantly. In fact,most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speaker’s message. So, don’t stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it’s a truly serious one.___18___
Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker.___19___And like everything else in life, that takes practice. Remember, even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.
___20___It’s rare to hear someone say, “I wish that speaker had spoken longer. “On the other hand, you probably can’t count the times that you’ve thought, “I’m glad that talk is over. It seemed to go on forever! “So surprise your audience. Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated. It’s better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end.
A. Do the opposite.
B. You want to be an effective public speaker.
C. You don’ t need to apologize for a minor slip.
D. When it comes to public speaking, less is usually more.
E The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience
F. Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners
G. However, the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be.
【答案】16. G 17. A 18. C 19. B 20. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章介绍了成为好的演讲者需要掌握的一些原则。
【16题详解】
本文主题是介绍成为好的演讲者要掌握的一些原则。上句提到有些人生来就有演讲的天赋。G项:然而，大多数人之所以能成为有影响的演讲者，是因为他们受过训练。与上句转折，引出本文主题--演讲者要训练。故选G。
【17题详解】
下句Focus on the speaking.是本段主题，建议演讲者把注意力集中在演讲上。上句提到一种常见现象，当站起来发表演讲时，演讲者往往会把注意力放在”公众”上，而不是”演讲”上。这是错误的做法，A项Do the opposite.承上启下，说明了上句做法的错误，引出了下句正确的做法。故选A。
【18题详解】
本段提到即使成功的演讲者也会犯错误，观众不会太在意你的错误。上句建议当出错时不要停止演讲，除非是非常严重的错误。C项:你不需要为一个小失误道歉。与上句承接，是对待演讲出错的方法。故选C。
【19题详解】
本段是说明练习的重要性。上句提到你的目标不是成为一个完美的演说家，下句应该说明目标是什么。B. You want to be an effective public speaker.与上句衔接，是我们演讲的真正目的。故选B。
【20题详解】
下文提到观众并不是认为演讲越长越好，根据 Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated.可知，作者建议让演讲比预期的短一点，给观众更多的期待胜过让他们坐立不安地等待演讲结束。D项:公开演讲时，通常少就是多。说明了演讲时，多和少的辩证关系。故选D。

第二节 (共 10 小题; 每小题 1.5 分，满分 15 分)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
We have a problem that is deeply rooted in our world today. When it ___41___ (come) to the holidays, people tend to forget that it’s the season of giving rather than receiving. We tend to be more ___42___ (interest) in what we’ll receive on Christmas morning instead of looking at the holidays as an opportunity ___43___ (help) out those who don’t have it as good as we do. So how can we change the culture around the holidays and make sure that people are emphasizing the time to give as much ___44___ they are looking forward to opening up their stockings? This is a question worth ___45___ (think) about. Giving ___46___ (selfless) is the right thing to do, though many of us ___47___ (challenge) by the task. Whether or not we have much money to spare, it isn’t always easy to give away ___48___ we have worked so hard for, especially when we have set financial goals — saving for retirement, a vacation or a ___49___ (rain) day. Even with so many reasons to be unwilling, the advantages of giving outweigh them all. When we give to those in need, we make a positive difference ___50___ the lives of others and our own.
【答案】41. comes
42. interested
43. to help
44. as 45. thinking
46. selflessly
47. are challenged
48. what 49. rainy
50. to
【解析】
【导语】本文是议论文。文章讲述的是人们忘记了节日的初衷，只关注自己在节日时得到了什么，而不是把节日当作一个付出的时机。
【41题详解】
考查时态。句意：当谈及到假日，人们总是忘记这是一个付出的时刻而不是一个收获的时刻。“when it comes to...”是常见的一种表达，意思是“当谈及到”，主语为第三人称单数，时态为一般现在时，故填comes。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：我们对于圣诞节早上我们会收到什么东西更感兴趣，而不是把这个节日看作一个帮助那些没有我们过的好的人的时机。分析句子结构可知，这里考查的是be interested in这个固定短语的用法，意为“对……感兴趣”。故填interested。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：我们对于圣诞节早上我们会收到什么东西更感兴趣，而不是把这个节日看作一个帮助那些没有我们过的好的人的时机。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词tend，所以help应用非谓语形式，此处应用不定式做opportunity的后置定语。故填to help。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意：因此，我们该如何挑战节日文化来确保人们去重视这些付出的机会，就像人们重视期待圣诞袜里出现礼物一样呢?分析句子结构可知，这里有一个同级比较，as much as意为“和……一样多”，第一个as是副词，第二个as引导比较状语从句。故填as。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这是一个值得思考的问题。分析句子结构可知，此处是固定搭配be worth doing意为“值得做某事”。故填thinking。
【46题详解】
考查副词。句意：无私地付出仍然是正确的事儿，尽管我们当中的很多人被这个任务挑战。修饰动词give，所以需要用副词形式，selfless的副词形式是selflessly。故填selflessly。
【47题详解】
考查动词的时态和语态。句意：无私地付出仍然是正确的事儿，尽管我们当中的很多人被这个任务挑战。分析句子结构可知，本句是though 引导的让步状语从句，challenge做从句谓语，根据语义，判断使用被动语态，再根据主句用的是一般现在时，从句也用一般现在时。故填are challenged。
48题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：不管我们是否有多余的钱，把我们辛辛苦苦挣来的东西送给别人并不总是那么容易，尤其是当我们设定了财务目标——为退休、度假或不时之需而储蓄。即使有这么多不愿意的理由，付出的好处还是超过了所有这些。根据句子结构可知，空处引导的是宾语从句，从句中for后面缺宾语，指代事物，应用连接代词what引导。故填what。
49题详解】
考查形容词。句意：不管我们是否有多余的钱，把我们辛辛苦苦挣来的东西送给别人并不总是那么容易，尤其是当我们设定了财务目标——为退休、度假或不时之需而储蓄。即使有这么多不愿意的理由，付出的好处还是超过了所有这些。分析句子结构可知，空后是名词day，所以空处应填形容词修饰名词，rain的形容词形式是rainy，此处的rainy day，意思为“有困难的日子”。故填rainy。
【50题详解】
考查介词。句意：当我们给予那些有需求的人帮助，我们就对他们以及我们的生活都产生积极的影响。根据句意，此处是固定短语make a difference to，意思为“对……产生影响”，故填to。
第四部分 写作(共两节， 满分 35 分)
第一节 短文改错(共 10 小题; 每小题 l 分， 满分 10 分)
51. 只允许修改 10 处， 多者(从第 11 处起)不计分。
Last weekend, all the students in my class go camping in the woods near our town. Several of our teachers joined us, too. Which surprised us was that Mr. Lee was extreme experienced in camping activities. He offered us a lot of valuable advices. Before we set off, we were also giving special instructions on discipline and behavior. Upon reaching our destination, we were informed about variety aspects of camping and everything we should pay attention to it. While hike in the woods, we were really exciting to explore the wonders of nature. It was such an unforgettable experience that I couldn’t wait travel there once again.
【答案】1. go→ went 2. Which→ What 3. extreme→ extremely 4. advices→ advice
5. giving→ given 6. variety→ various 7.将it去掉 8. hike→ hiking 9. exciting→ excited
10. 在wait 后加to
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了周末师生一行到周边林地野营的经历。
【详解】1. 考查动词。句意：上周末，我们班上所有同学到镇子附近的林地野营 。根据时间状语“last weekend ”可知句子说的是过去发生的动作，应使用一般过去时，故将go 改为went 。
2. 考查连词。句意：让我们感到意外的是李老师对露营活动非常有经验。分析句子结构可知，“Which surprised us ”为主语从句，但是which 表示哪一个，根据句意，应使用表示“所……的是”的连词，故将Which 改为What 。
3. 考查副词。句意：同上。分析句子结构，应使用副词修饰过去分词experienced ，故将extreme 改为extremely 。
4. 考查名词。句意：他给了我们很多宝贵的建议。当advice 当“建议”使用的时候，是不可数名词，没有复数形式，故将advices 改为advice 。
5. 考查被动语态。句意：在出发之前，我们还接受了有关纪律以及言行举止方面的特别教育。根据句意以及被动语态的结构，系动词后面要使用过去分词形式，故将giving改为given 。
6. 考查形容词。句意：一到达目的地，我们就被告知了野营各方面的知识以及所有我们要注意的事项。分析句子结构，应使用形容词作定语修饰后面的名词aspect ，故将variety改为 various 。
7. 考查定语从句。句意：同上。分析句子结构，“everything we should pay attention to it”为以everything 为先行词的定语从句，其中介词to 的宾语为先行词everything ，所以后面的it 多余，故将it 去掉 。
8. 考查非谓语动词。句意：当在林地徒步旅行的时候，我们对探索大自然的奇迹感到非常兴奋。分析句子结构可知动词hike 应使用非谓语动词的形式， 因与它的逻辑主语we 为逻辑上的主谓关系，故将hike 改为hiking 。
9. 考查形容词。句意：同上。分析可知exciting，一般修饰事物，表示“令人激动的”，excited一般之人感到激动动。根据本句句意，说的是主语的一种感受，故将exciting改为excited 。
10. 考查非谓语动词。句意：这是一次如此让人难忘的经历，以至于我们等不及再去旅行一次。分析句子结构，因从句中已经有谓语动词wait ，所以travel 只能使用非谓语动词形式，又因为couldn’t wait后面表示一个新动作的时候常用动词不定式，故在wait 后加to 。
