第一部分、阅读理解
Christmas getaways represent a rare opportunity for families who like to travel. Whether your kids are toddlers, teens, or all grown up, you can usually count on some time off from school and work for everyone to gather in one place. If you’re dreaming of a white Christmas(whether snow or sand), here’s where to go for Christmas.
1. San Antonio
For hundreds of years, the home of the Alamo has adorned its iconic River Walk with Mexican Christmas lanterns believed to help light the way for the Holy Family. Families visiting San Antonio for Christmas vacations between mid-November and mid-January can immerse themselves in this awe-inspiring tradition either by foot or boat with Go Rio Cruises, a kid-friendly tour operator that even lets you stow strollers on board. The holiday magic continues at The DoSeum, San Antonio’s kids’ museum, which hosts an elaborate Winter Wonderland event once a year.
2. Puerto Rico
Beginning the day after Thanksgiving and ending weeks after New Year’s Day, Puerto Rico’s Christmas celebrations comprise colorful street parties, boat parades, lights, lively music, and holiday dishes. San Juan is at the heart of Puerto Rico’s seasonal festivities. The city’s waterfront amphitheater, Bahia Urbana, becomes Navitown, a Christmas-themed carnival with rides, whimsical decorations, and a special rendition of Santa’s Workshop.
3. German Christmas Markets
Nowhere else in the world does Christmas vacations quite like Germany. The birthplace of the Christkindlmarkt could easily light up a map with its sheer number of Christmas markets, each commingled(使……混合) with intricate wooden huts selling everything from handcrafted toys and ornaments to fresh-cooked delicacies and warm gluhwein. Moreover, Dresden are particularly well-regarded for their authenticity and kid-friendly atmosphere. Try a European river cruise: Family-favorite guided tour company Adventures by Disney has both Rhine and Danube Christmas market cruises.
4. St. Augustine, Florida
America’s oldest city, St. Augustine, has had a lot of time to build upon its Christmas traditions over the years. The city’s annual Night of Lights event, during which three million white lights illuminate the historic district from mid-November to late January, has been recognized as one of the world’s top light displays. Landmark attractions such as the Castillo de San Marcos and the St. Augustine Lighthouse and Maritime Museum are also incorporated into the city’s Christmas experiences.
5. South Tyrol, Italy
Surrounded amongst fairy tale towns like Bolzano and Merano, dramatic views of the Dolomites and Italian Alps serve as the backdrop to South Tyrol’s Christmas markets. Adding to the region’s charm is its melding(融合) of Italian, German, Austrian, and Ladin(native Dolomiten) cultures. Families will enjoy chowing down on Tyrolean goulash, strudels, and other diverse specialties while relishing the local scenery, history, and traditions. Bonus: The region is also known for some of Europe’s best skiing.

A city in Netherlands will become the first in the world to ban meat advertisements from public spaces in an effort to reduce consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The ban also covers holiday flights, fossil fuels and cars that run on fossil fuels. The ban is delayed until 2024 due to existing contracts with companies that sell the products.
Haarlem, which lies to the west of Amsterdam and has a population of about 160,000, will bring the ban into effect from 2024 after meat was added to a list of products deemed to contribute to the climate crisis. Advertisements will not be allowed on Haarlem’s buses, shelters and screens in public spaces, prompting complaints from the meat sector that the government is “going too far in telling people what’s best for them”.
Recent studies suggest global food production is responsible for one-third of all planet-heating emissions, with the use of animals for meat accounting for twice the pollution of producing plant-based foods. Forests that absorb carbon dioxide are cut down for the food of animals while fertilisers used for growing their feed are rich in nitrogen(氮), which can contribute to air pollution, water pollution and climate change. Livestock also produces large quantities of methane(甲烷), a powerful greenhouse gas.
Zlggy Klazes, a councillor from the GroenLinks party, said she had not known the city would be the world’s first to enforce such a policy when she proposed it. She told the Haarlem105 radio channel: “We are not about what people are baking and roasting in their own kitchen; if people want to continue eating meat, it’s fine. We can’t tell people there’s a climate crisis and meanwhile, encourage them to buy products that are part of the cause. Of course, there are a lot of people who find the decision shocking and unreasonable, but there are also a lot of people who think it’s fine.”
4. What does the meat sector think of the ban?
A. Neutral. B. Disapproving.
C. Indifferent. D. Positive.
5. What do recent studies show?
A. Meat consumption causes more pollution.
B. Methane mainly comes from livestock.
C. Nitrogen is harmful to the environment.
D. People cut down trees for human habitation.
6. What message do Ziggy Klazes’s words convey?
A. She is the first to ban meat advertisement.
B. She emphasizes the advantage of eating meat.
C. She is in favor of banning meat advertising.
D. She cares about what people cook in the kitchen.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. Fossil fuels are banned in Dutch city.
B. A city in Netherlands decreases meat production.
C. Greenhouse gas emissions are limited in Dutch city.
D. A city in Netherlands bans meat advertisements in public.
There are 7 billion people in this world, with 7 billion different opinions about outer beauty. What you may find physically attractive can be an absolute eyesore to someone else and vice versa. And this is truly magical because it implies that regardless of a person’s physical features, there is always going to be someone out there who finds them appealing.
Nowadays there are many ways you can manipulate the way you look. Plastic surgery(整形) and other cosmetic procedures are becoming more and more accessible and affordable. This is absolutely incredible for people who really need body changes to improve their mental health.
Sadly, with social media being a massive part of our lives, far too many people are struggling with self-image issues not because there is something wrong with them, but because they are convinced they need to look a certain way to be accepted by society. So they delve into(钻研) the world of plastic surgery and they slowly lose their identities in order to fit in.
In reality, what we should be encouraging is not altering our bodies, but remodeling our mindset. We should become more aware of the way we treat others and ourselves. We should be inspired to learn more languages, so we can dive into different cultures and expand our limits. Instead of spending money on looking like someone else, spend time in becoming the best version of yourself, because outer beauty fades, but the beauty within is timeless.
As noted by the book A Conscious Rethink, when asked about what traits(特性) they look for in a potential long-term partner, most people name things that have nothing to do with physical appearance. Some of the features we seek the most are Kindness, Loyalty, Patience, Integrity, A good sense of humor, and A supportive nature.
All of these traits can be found in anyone, regardless of the outer beauty they possess. More importantly, these are personality characteristics we seek in those we see as our potential life partners, meaning that we value them more than we value a pretty face.
8. What does the underlined word “manipulate” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Check. B. Manage. C. Maintain. D. Appreciate.
9. Why are many people seeking plastic surgery nowadays according to the text?
A. To improve their mental health. B. To indicate their identities.
C. To adapt to society. D. To cover their physical disability.
10. What’s one feature of inner beauty according to the author?
A. It’s permanent. B. It can be measured.
C. It’s a natural-born thing. D. It varies from culture to culture.
11. Which topic does A Conscious Rethink probably cover?
A. Adventure. B. Healthcare. C. Entertainment. D. Relationship.
Deep in the British Library lie the priceless treasures for pop music lovers. Housed across the main building in St Pancras and the Library’s Boston Spa site are more than 350,000 CDs and 250,000LPs(密文唱片),as well as around a quarter of a million 78 RPM discs and countless cassette tapes.
Andy Linehan, the Library’s Curator(馆长) of Popular Music Collections, feels he and his team are not only preserving pop, but they’re also honoring history. “One of the British’s Library’s functions is to be the cultural memory of the nation. We do that with books, journals and newspapers and it’s absolutely right that we should also do it with music,” he said.
The treasures in the British Library rely on donations from record labels, artists and members of the public. As Andy noted, “If you publish a book, newspaper or magazine in the UK, you’re legally obliged to send a copy to the British Library, but that law does not apply to sound recordings.”
Among the treasures are an early voice recording of Florence Nightingale and a cassette tape that was sold at gigs(现场演唱会) in the early1980s by a sixth-form band called On A Friday. There are also old blues, rare LPs from the 1950s and promotional copies of Beatles singles that only had a couple of hundred pressings.
When it comes to preservation, the team is tirelessly transferring music from media that’s vulnerable and digitising(数字化) it for generations to come. “If anyone can save anything from an old tape which is not in very good condition, it’s our engineers. Because they have equipment and know how to play back everything,” Andy explained.
Private companies and specialists record labels are also trying their best to ensure music is safeguarded for generations to come. Iron Mountain Entertainment Service offers digital transfer and preservation services for music as well as other media. Cherry Red Records Chairman, Iain McNay, said, “It’s about looking after all that material and letting it see the light of day. We’re music fans who are also protectors.”
12. What can we learn about the treasures from paragraph 1?
A. The number is incredibly large.
B. They are all donations from people.
C. They represent different times.
D. They are not open to the public yet.
13. What does Andy think of music preservation?
A. It is technically demanding.
B. It is significant in the long term.
C. It is commercially beneficial.
D. It can boost music composition.
14. Why is “copies of Beatles singles” mentioned in paragraph4?
A. To emphasize the popularity of the band.
B. To reflect the varieties of the collections.
C. To indicate the great value of the treasures.
D. To convey the urgency of music protection.
15. Where does the true value of the preservation lie?
A. It can arouse people’s interest in pop music.
B. It can encourage more people to contribute.
C. It will develop the music industry in Britain.
D. It will be the cultural memory of generations.

本文是一篇说明文，介绍故宫博物院的概况。
16. 上文“It was built from 1406 to 1420 by the third emperor of the Ming dynasty, the Yongle Emperor who was determined to move his capital northward from Nanjing to Beijing. The Ming dynasty fell to the Manchu Qing in 1644 and in 1911 the Qing dynasty was overthrown by the republican revolutionaries.”（紫禁城始建于1406年至1420年，由明朝的第三个皇帝永乐帝下令修建——永乐帝当时决定从南京迁都北京。1644年，明朝覆没，清朝建立。1911年清朝被革命党人推翻。）提到紫禁城从1406年开始修建，距今约600年，B项“nearly six hundred years”与之对应，介绍这600年来，一共有24位皇帝在紫禁城居住执政。所以B项符合题意。故选B项。
17. 下文“Measuring 961 meters from north to south and 753 meters from east to west, it covers an area of 1,110,000 square meters.”（紫禁城占地面积为1110000平方米，南北长961米，东西宽753米。）介绍紫禁城的占地面积，由此可知设空处内容应与紫禁城的建筑规模相关，E项“紫禁城四面围有10米高的城墙，城外有52米宽的护城河”也属于介绍紫禁城的建筑规模，符合题意。故选E项。
18. 上文“The southern portion of the Forbidden City centers on three main halls ‘Hall of Supreme Harmony(Taihedian), Hall of Central Harmony(Zhonghedian) and Hall of Preserving Harmony(Baohedian)’.”（紫禁城南部以太和殿、中和殿、保和殿为中心。）介绍紫禁城的南部是太和殿、中和殿、保和殿，A项承接上文，指出这三座大殿的用途：皇帝上朝和举办重大典礼的地方，其中A项的“here”指代紫禁城南部，即外朝。下文“Mirroring this arrangement is the Inner Court comprising the northern portion of the Forbidden City.”（紫禁城北部的内廷与外朝布局相似。）的“Mirroring this arrangement”指内廷与上文提到的外朝的布局相似。所以A项符合题意。故选A项。
19. 上文“The southern portion of the Forbidden City centers on three main halls ‘Hall of Supreme Harmony(Taihedian), Hall of Central Harmony(Zhonghedian) and Hall of Preserving Harmony(Baohedian)’. ___3___ Mirroring this arrangement is the Inner Court comprising the northern portion of the Forbidden City. The Inner Court is comprised of not only the residences of the emperor and his wives but also venues for religious activities.”（紫禁城南部是以太和殿、中和殿、保和殿为中心的外朝，外朝是皇帝上朝和举办重大典礼的地方。紫禁城北部的内廷与外朝布局相似，内廷不仅是皇帝、后妃们居住的地方，还是祭神场所。）介绍了紫禁城的外朝和内廷，C项“外朝和内廷的总建筑面积为163000平方米”则介绍外朝和内廷的总建筑面积，其中C项的“the two courts”指代上文的“the Outer Court”和“the Inner Court”，衔接上文。下文“These were precisely designed in accordance with a code of architectural hierarchy(等级制度), which designated specific features to reflect the paramount authority and status of the emperor.”（这些建筑都是遵照建筑等级制度进行设计的，该制度规定了反映皇帝至高无上的权威和地位的具体建筑特征。）的“These”同样是指代外朝和内廷的建筑。所以C项符合题意。故选C项。
20. 上文“No ordinary people would have been allowed or would even have dared to come within close proximity to these buildings.”（普通人不允许或甚至不敢靠近这些建筑。）提到以前普通人是不允许或不敢接近故宫的，F项“Although”引导的从句承接上文，提到以往故宫是不可进入的宫城，主句转折，介绍如今故宫成为了开放的博物院，引出下文“The collection, displayed in gallery halls throughout the complex, is becoming increasingly more accessible with digital technologies.”（人们通过数字技术可以接触更多故宫展厅中展示的藏品。）介绍如今人们可以接触到更多的故宫藏品。所以F项符合题意。故选F项。
21. A 22. D 23. D 24. C 25. B 26. B 27. C 28. C 29. A 30. B 31. C 32. D 33. A 34. D 35. B 36. A 37. B 38. C 39. D 40. A

41. an 42. judgement 43. lies 44. accurately 45. who 46. reading 47. entitled 48. that 49. provided 50. can be done
本文是一片说明文。文章主要开篇提出一个疑问：你能仅仅根据你对一个人的第一印象就对他的性格做出准确的判断吗?下文对这个问题提出了解答并且对这个领域在未来有所展望。
41. 考查冠词。句意：你能仅仅根据你对一个人的第一印象就对他的性格做出准确的判断吗? 本题填空处后面有形容词accurate，而且根据第二空需要填写名词可知，此题填空处需要填写冠词来修饰第二题填空处的名词，因为accurate是元音音素发音。故填an。
42. 考查名词。句意：你能仅仅根据你对一个人的第一印象就对他的性格做出准确的判断吗?本题填空处前面有形容词accurate，意思是“准确的”，而空格后面有of结构，说明横线上需要填写名词，括号中提示词是动词judge，需要转换成为名词。故填judgement。
43. 考查动词。句意：具有讽刺意味的是，答案既在你心里，也在他们心里。根据句子结构，本小题所在的句子是复合句，主句是“the answer _____ (lie)”部分，而后面有as连接的从句“as it does in you”，说明空格处是需要填写谓语动词，其次本文是说明文表达客观事实，因此需要使用一般现在时态，主语the answer是第三人称单数。故填lies。
44. 考查副词。句意：我们大多数人可能能够准确地识别出这些迹象，即使是在一个陌生人身上。本题填空处前后是不定式结构“to identify”表示“鉴定、识别”的意思，说明横线上需要填写副词修饰动词。故填accurately。
45. 考查定语从句。句意：“好目标”是那些能透露出与自己性格相关的有用线索的人。本题所在的句子是复合句，主句部分是“‘Good targets’ are people”，空格后面部分“reveal relevant and useful cues to their personality”是定语从句，对于先行词“people”进行修饰，先行词是人，而且从句中缺少主语成分。故填who。
46. 考查非谓语动词。句意：这意味着“好的评判”只有在看到“好的目标”时才会显示。本题所在的句子是复合句，主句部分的主谓结构是“this means”，后面连接宾语从句“‘the good judge’ will only manifest when _____ (read) ‘good targets’.”在宾语从句中已有谓语动词“will manifest”而且when连接词后无主语，因此括号中的动词read需要使用非谓语结构，且与逻辑主语the good judge是主动关系。故填reading。
47. 考查非谓语动词。句意：这是根据罗杰斯和比桑兹在他们2019年题为《重新评估人格的良好判断》的期刊上所说的。本题中有谓语动词结构“is”，而提示动词entitle要使用非谓语动词作后置定语修饰journal，且“entitled”表示“名为……”的意思。故填entitled。
48. 考查同位语从句。句意：他们总结道：“我们发现了一致、清晰和有力的证据，这个证据证明优秀的法官确实存在。”本题所在的句子是复合句，句子主句部分是“We found consistent, clear and strong evidence”，后面部分是同位语从句“the good judge does exist”对先行词evidence解释具体内容，从句句意完整且成分不缺。故填that。
49. 考查非谓语动词。句意：他们只是能够“探测到好的目标所提供的信息”。本题所在的句子是主谓结构是“they are simply able to detect”，括号提示词provide是用作非谓语动词，根据句意，非谓语动词作后置定语修饰名词“information”，且非谓语动词与逻辑主语形成被动关系。故填provided。
50. 考查情态动词和被动语态。句意：在未来，可以做更多的研究来了解他们如何阅读性格，他们是什么样的人，以及他们的技能是否可以被教授。本句时间标志词“in the future”表示这个句子是对未来的肯定猜测，故使用情态动词“can”，而且主语“more research”与谓语动词“do”之间构成被动关系。故填can be done。
51.
1. great→greatly
2. chance后加of
3. Therefore→However
4. that→whether
5. they→them
6. Pay→Paying
7. 删除be
8. embarrassed→embarrassing
9. arrangement→arrangements
10. at→after
这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了在外学习期间，和亲戚在一起住宿存在的问题。
1. 考查副词。句意：如果你正在考虑离开去学习，你的住宿选择将是非常重要的。修饰形容词用副词，所以此处用副词greatly修饰形容词important，故great改为greatly。
2. 考查介词。句意：你可能很幸运，有机会和亲戚住在一起。短语：chance of doing sth.“有做……的机会”，所以在chance后加上介词of，故chance后加上of。
3. 考查副词。句意：然而，这既带来了好处，也带来了问题。结合前文“You may be lucky enough to have the chance staying with relatives”及后文“this can bring problems as well as advantages”可知，逗号后的内容和前文构成转折关系，非因果关系，所以副词therefore应改为however，故Therefore改为However。
4. 考查宾语从句。句意：家庭生活很可能会让你从学习中分心，而且还会有是否应该付钱给亲戚的问题。分析句子可知，of后的内容为宾语从句，从句成分齐全，结合question of可知，此处表示“是否”用whether来连接宾语从句，此处在介词后面不能用if来引导宾语从句，所以that改为whether，故that改为whether。
5. 考查代词。句意：无论他们多么关心你，无论他们多么希望你和他们在一起，他们都不会无缘无故地期望留住你。介词后应用代词的宾语，所以with后they应改为them，故they改为them。
6. 考查非谓语动词。句意：付出太多或太少都会很容易让你产生不好的感觉。分析句子可知，本句的谓语为can lead，所以情态动词前为句子的主语，所以应用动名词表示，所以pay改为paying，故Pay改为Paying。
7. 考查情态动词的用法。句意同上。情态动词后跟动词原形，此处主语paying too much和动词lead to是主动关系，其前的be应删除，故删除be。
8. 考查形容词。句意：但是，设定合适的数量可能是棘手和令人尴尬的。-ed形容词通常用来表示人/人的的感受，-ing形容词则用来表示事物的特点或形状，本句中主语为setting the right amount，指物，所以应用-ing的形容词embarrassing，表示“令人尴尬的”，故embarrassed改为embarrassing。
9. 考查名词复数。句意：有些人可能不信任亲属的安排。arrangement“安排”为可数名词，根据句意可知，此处亲戚的安排不止一，应用复数，故arrangement改为arrangements。
10. 考查短语。句意：毕竟，与陌生人同住往往是最好的安排。短语：at all“根本，完全”；after all“毕竟，终究”，这里为对“lodging with strangers”的行为做总结说明，所以应用“毕竟”含义，故at改为after。

2023届江西省五市九校协作体高三第一次联考英语试卷
学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________
第一部分、阅读理解
Christmas getaways represent a rare opportunity for families who like to travel. Whether your kids are toddlers, teens, or all grown up, you can usually count on some time off from school and work for everyone to gather in one place. If you’re dreaming of a white Christmas(whether snow or sand), here’s where to go for Christmas.
1. San Antonio
For hundreds of years, the home of the Alamo has adorned its iconic River Walk with Mexican Christmas lanterns believed to help light the way for the Holy Family. Families visiting San Antonio for Christmas vacations between mid-November and mid-January can immerse themselves in this awe-inspiring tradition either by foot or boat with Go Rio Cruises, a kid-friendly tour operator that even lets you stow strollers on board. The holiday magic continues at The DoSeum, San Antonio’s kids’ museum, which hosts an elaborate Winter Wonderland event once a year.
2. Puerto Rico
Beginning the day after Thanksgiving and ending weeks after New Year’s Day, Puerto Rico’s Christmas celebrations comprise colorful street parties, boat parades, lights, lively music, and holiday dishes. San Juan is at the heart of Puerto Rico’s seasonal festivities. The city’s waterfront amphitheater, Bahia Urbana, becomes Navitown, a Christmas-themed carnival with rides, whimsical decorations, and a special rendition of Santa’s Workshop.
3. German Christmas Markets
Nowhere else in the world does Christmas vacations quite like Germany. The birthplace of the Christkindlmarkt could easily light up a map with its sheer number of Christmas markets, each commingled(使……混合) with intricate wooden huts selling everything from handcrafted toys and ornaments to fresh-cooked delicacies and warm gluhwein. Moreover, Dresden are particularly well-regarded for their authenticity and kid-friendly atmosphere. Try a European river cruise: Family-favorite guided tour company Adventures by Disney has both Rhine and Danube Christmas market cruises.
4. St. Augustine, Florida
America’s oldest city, St. Augustine, has had a lot of time to build upon its Christmas traditions over the years. The city’s annual Night of Lights event, during which three million white lights illuminate the historic district from mid-November to late January, has been recognized as one of the world’s top light displays. Landmark attractions such as the Castillo de San Marcos and the St. Augustine Lighthouse and Maritime Museum are also incorporated into the city’s Christmas experiences.
5. South Tyrol, Italy
Surrounded amongst fairy tale towns like Bolzano and Merano, dramatic views of the Dolomites and Italian Alps serve as the backdrop to South Tyrol’s Christmas markets. Adding to the region’s charm is its melding(融合) of Italian, German, Austrian, and Ladin(native Dolomiten) cultures. Families will enjoy chowing down on Tyrolean goulash, strudels, and other diverse specialties while relishing the local scenery, history, and traditions. Bonus: The region is also known for some of Europe’s best skiing.

A city in Netherlands will become the first in the world to ban meat advertisements from public spaces in an effort to reduce consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The ban also covers holiday flights, fossil fuels and cars that run on fossil fuels. The ban is delayed until 2024 due to existing contracts with companies that sell the products.
Haarlem, which lies to the west of Amsterdam and has a population of about 160,000, will bring the ban into effect from 2024 after meat was added to a list of products deemed to contribute to the climate crisis. Advertisements will not be allowed on Haarlem’s buses, shelters and screens in public spaces, prompting complaints from the meat sector that the government is “going too far in telling people what’s best for them”.
Recent studies suggest global food production is responsible for one-third of all planet-heating emissions, with the use of animals for meat accounting for twice the pollution of producing plant-based foods. Forests that absorb carbon dioxide are cut down for the food of animals while fertilisers used for growing their feed are rich in nitrogen(氮), which can contribute to air pollution, water pollution and climate change. Livestock also produces large quantities of methane(甲烷), a powerful greenhouse gas.
Zlggy Klazes, a councillor from the GroenLinks party, said she had not known the city would be the world’s first to enforce such a policy when she proposed it. She told the Haarlem105 radio channel: “We are not about what people are baking and roasting in their own kitchen; if people want to continue eating meat, it’s fine. We can’t tell people there’s a climate crisis and meanwhile, encourage them to buy products that are part of the cause. Of course, there are a lot of people who find the decision shocking and unreasonable, but there are also a lot of people who think it’s fine.”
4. What does the meat sector think of the ban?
A. Neutral. B. Disapproving.
C. Indifferent. D. Positive.
5. What do recent studies show?
A. Meat consumption causes more pollution.
B. Methane mainly comes from livestock.
C. Nitrogen is harmful to the environment.
D. People cut down trees for human habitation.
6. What message do Ziggy Klazes’s words convey?
A. She is the first to ban meat advertisement.
B. She emphasizes the advantage of eating meat.
C. She is in favor of banning meat advertising.
D. She cares about what people cook in the kitchen.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. Fossil fuels are banned in Dutch city.
B. A city in Netherlands decreases meat production.
C. Greenhouse gas emissions are limited in Dutch city.
D. A city in Netherlands bans meat advertisements in public.
There are 7 billion people in this world, with 7 billion different opinions about outer beauty. What you may find physically attractive can be an absolute eyesore to someone else and vice versa. And this is truly magical because it implies that regardless of a person’s physical features, there is always going to be someone out there who finds them appealing.
Nowadays there are many ways you can manipulate the way you look. Plastic surgery(整形) and other cosmetic procedures are becoming more and more accessible and affordable. This is absolutely incredible for people who really need body changes to improve their mental health.
Sadly, with social media being a massive part of our lives, far too many people are struggling with self-image issues not because there is something wrong with them, but because they are convinced they need to look a certain way to be accepted by society. So they delve into(钻研) the world of plastic surgery and they slowly lose their identities in order to fit in.
In reality, what we should be encouraging is not altering our bodies, but remodeling our mindset. We should become more aware of the way we treat others and ourselves. We should be inspired to learn more languages, so we can dive into different cultures and expand our limits. Instead of spending money on looking like someone else, spend time in becoming the best version of yourself, because outer beauty fades, but the beauty within is timeless.
As noted by the book A Conscious Rethink, when asked about what traits(特性) they look for in a potential long-term partner, most people name things that have nothing to do with physical appearance. Some of the features we seek the most are Kindness, Loyalty, Patience, Integrity, A good sense of humor, and A supportive nature.
All of these traits can be found in anyone, regardless of the outer beauty they possess. More importantly, these are personality characteristics we seek in those we see as our potential life partners, meaning that we value them more than we value a pretty face.
8. What does the underlined word “manipulate” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Check. B. Manage. C. Maintain. D. Appreciate.
9. Why are many people seeking plastic surgery nowadays according to the text?
A. To improve their mental health. B. To indicate their identities.
C. To adapt to society. D. To cover their physical disability.
10. What’s one feature of inner beauty according to the author?
A. It’s permanent. B. It can be measured.
C. It’s a natural-born thing. D. It varies from culture to culture.
11. Which topic does A Conscious Rethink probably cover?
A. Adventure. B. Healthcare. C. Entertainment. D. Relationship.
Deep in the British Library lie the priceless treasures for pop music lovers. Housed across the main building in St Pancras and the Library’s Boston Spa site are more than 350,000 CDs and 250,000LPs(密文唱片),as well as around a quarter of a million 78 RPM discs and countless cassette tapes.
Andy Linehan, the Library’s Curator(馆长) of Popular Music Collections, feels he and his team are not only preserving pop, but they’re also honoring history. “One of the British’s Library’s functions is to be the cultural memory of the nation. We do that with books, journals and newspapers and it’s absolutely right that we should also do it with music,” he said.
The treasures in the British Library rely on donations from record labels, artists and members of the public. As Andy noted, “If you publish a book, newspaper or magazine in the UK, you’re legally obliged to send a copy to the British Library, but that law does not apply to sound recordings.”
Among the treasures are an early voice recording of Florence Nightingale and a cassette tape that was sold at gigs(现场演唱会) in the early1980s by a sixth-form band called On A Friday. There are also old blues, rare LPs from the 1950s and promotional copies of Beatles singles that only had a couple of hundred pressings.
When it comes to preservation, the team is tirelessly transferring music from media that’s vulnerable and digitising(数字化) it for generations to come. “If anyone can save anything from an old tape which is not in very good condition, it’s our engineers. Because they have equipment and know how to play back everything,” Andy explained.
Private companies and specialists record labels are also trying their best to ensure music is safeguarded for generations to come. Iron Mountain Entertainment Service offers digital transfer and preservation services for music as well as other media. Cherry Red Records Chairman, Iain McNay, said, “It’s about looking after all that material and letting it see the light of day. We’re music fans who are also protectors.”
12. What can we learn about the treasures from paragraph 1?
A. The number is incredibly large.
B. They are all donations from people.
C. They represent different times.

41. an 42. judgement 43. lies 44. accurately 45. who 46. reading 47. entitled 48. that 49. provided 50. can be done
本文是一片说明文。文章主要开篇提出一个疑问：你能仅仅根据你对一个人的第一印象就对他的性格做出准确的判断吗?下文对这个问题提出了解答并且对这个领域在未来有所展望。
41. 考查冠词。句意：你能仅仅根据你对一个人的第一印象就对他的性格做出准确的判断吗? 本题填空处后面有形容词accurate，而且根据第二空需要填写名词可知，此题填空处需要填写冠词来修饰第二题填空处的名词，因为accurate是元音音素发音。故填an。
42. 考查名词。句意：你能仅仅根据你对一个人的第一印象就对他的性格做出准确的判断吗?本题填空处前面有形容词accurate，意思是“准确的”，而空格后面有of结构，说明横线上需要填写名词，括号中提示词是动词judge，需要转换成为名词。故填judgement。
43. 考查动词。句意：具有讽刺意味的是，答案既在你心里，也在他们心里。根据句子结构，本小题所在的句子是复合句，主句是“the answer _____ (lie)”部分，而后面有as连接的从句“as it does in you”，说明空格处是需要填写谓语动词，其次本文是说明文表达客观事实，因此需要使用一般现在时态，主语the answer是第三人称单数。故填lies。
44. 考查副词。句意：我们大多数人可能能够准确地识别出这些迹象，即使是在一个陌生人身上。本题填空处前后是不定式结构“to identify”表示“鉴定、识别”的意思，说明横线上需要填写副词修饰动词。故填accurately。
45. 考查定语从句。句意：“好目标”是那些能透露出与自己性格相关的有用线索的人。本题所在的句子是复合句，主句部分是“‘Good targets’ are people”，空格后面部分“reveal relevant and useful cues to their personality”是定语从句，对于先行词“people”进行修饰，先行词是人，而且从句中缺少主语成分。故填who。
46. 考查非谓语动词。句意：这意味着“好的评判”只有在看到“好的目标”时才会显示。本题所在的句子是复合句，主句部分的主谓结构是“this means”，后面连接宾语从句“‘the good judge’ will only manifest when _____ (read) ‘good targets’.”在宾语从句中已有谓语动词“will manifest”而且when连接词后无主语，因此括号中的动词read需要使用非谓语结构，且与逻辑主语the good judge是主动关系。故填reading。
47. 考查非谓语动词。句意：这是根据罗杰斯和比桑兹在他们2019年题为《重新评估人格的良好判断》的期刊上所说的。本题中有谓语动词结构“is”，而提示动词entitle要使用非谓语动词作后置定语修饰journal，且“entitled”表示“名为……”的意思。故填entitled。
48. 考查同位语从句。句意：他们总结道：“我们发现了一致、清晰和有力的证据，这个证据证明优秀的法官确实存在。”本题所在的句子是复合句，句子主句部分是“We found consistent, clear and strong evidence”，后面部分是同位语从句“the good judge does exist”对先行词evidence解释具体内容，从句句意完整且成分不缺。故填that。
49. 考查非谓语动词。句意：他们只是能够“探测到好的目标所提供的信息”。本题所在的句子是主谓结构是“they are simply able to detect”，括号提示词provide是用作非谓语动词，根据句意，非谓语动词作后置定语修饰名词“information”，且非谓语动词与逻辑主语形成被动关系。故填provided。
50. 考查情态动词和被动语态。句意：在未来，可以做更多的研究来了解他们如何阅读性格，他们是什么样的人，以及他们的技能是否可以被教授。本句时间标志词“in the future”表示这个句子是对未来的肯定猜测，故使用情态动词“can”，而且主语“more research”与谓语动词“do”之间构成被动关系。故填can be done。
51.
1. great→greatly
2. chance后加of
3. Therefore→However
4. that→whether
5. they→them
6. Pay→Paying
7. 删除be
8. embarrassed→embarrassing
9. arrangement→arrangements
10. at→after
这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了在外学习期间，和亲戚在一起住宿存在的问题。
1. 考查副词。句意：如果你正在考虑离开去学习，你的住宿选择将是非常重要的。修饰形容词用副词，所以此处用副词greatly修饰形容词important，故great改为greatly。
2. 考查介词。句意：你可能很幸运，有机会和亲戚住在一起。短语：chance of doing sth.“有做……的机会”，所以在chance后加上介词of，故chance后加上of。
3. 考查副词。句意：然而，这既带来了好处，也带来了问题。结合前文“You may be lucky enough to have the chance staying with relatives”及后文“this can bring problems as well as advantages”可知，逗号后的内容和前文构成转折关系，非因果关系，所以副词therefore应改为however，故Therefore改为However。
4. 考查宾语从句。句意：家庭生活很可能会让你从学习中分心，而且还会有是否应该付钱给亲戚的问题。分析句子可知，of后的内容为宾语从句，从句成分齐全，结合question of可知，此处表示“是否”用whether来连接宾语从句，此处在介词后面不能用if来引导宾语从句，所以that改为whether，故that改为whether。
5. 考查代词。句意：无论他们多么关心你，无论他们多么希望你和他们在一起，他们都不会无缘无故地期望留住你。介词后应用代词的宾语，所以with后they应改为them，故they改为them。
6. 考查非谓语动词。句意：付出太多或太少都会很容易让你产生不好的感觉。分析句子可知，本句的谓语为can lead，所以情态动词前为句子的主语，所以应用动名词表示，所以pay改为paying，故Pay改为Paying。
7. 考查情态动词的用法。句意同上。情态动词后跟动词原形，此处主语paying too much和动词lead to是主动关系，其前的be应删除，故删除be。
8. 考查形容词。句意：但是，设定合适的数量可能是棘手和令人尴尬的。-ed形容词通常用来表示人/人的的感受，-ing形容词则用来表示事物的特点或形状，本句中主语为setting the right amount，指物，所以应用-ing的形容词embarrassing，表示“令人尴尬的”，故embarrassed改为embarrassing。
9. 考查名词复数。句意：有些人可能不信任亲属的安排。arrangement“安排”为可数名词，根据句意可知，此处亲戚的安排不止一，应用复数，故arrangement改为arrangements。
10. 考查短语。句意：毕竟，与陌生人同住往往是最好的安排。短语：at all“根本，完全”；after all“毕竟，终究”，这里为对“lodging with strangers”的行为做总结说明，所以应用“毕竟”含义，故at改为after。
