A
It’s easy to assume that a vacation to Bali will cost a small fortune. There are plenty of accommodations, food and local transportation, and even the spas offer massages and treatments at value prices. However, you can easily spend a week or two in Bali for under $2,000, without having to sleep on the beach. Here are a few things to consider when planning Bali on a budget.
What is the best time to visit Bali on a budget?
If you’re on a budget, consider visiting Bali during the lower, wetter season, which runs from October through March. The crowds will be fewer, and both hotel rates and flights from abroad are often cheaper, except during the holiday period between mid-December and early January, when crowds swell. The only trade-off for the lower prices is the wet season. This time of year isn’t always ideal for sunbathing, and serious rainfall can make outdoor activities, such as whitewater rafting and visiting waterfalls and rice terraces, less than appealing. That said, even during rainy season, it doesn’t usually rain all day long. Expect bursts of sunshine between the storms.
What is the cheapest way to get around Bali?
The absolute cheapest way to get around Bali is by local bus, but it can take a long time. There are also tourist buses, including hop-on, hop-off options, that travel between different hubs across the island. Bali is well-served by taxis, both of the car and motorbike variety, and the prices tend to be affordable by international standards. Most drivers will offer you a fixed rate for full-day hires or to get from point A to point B, rather than using a meter.
Remember to bargain; doing so is particularly easy when a driver is on his own rather than at a taxi stand.
How much does food cost in Bali?
If you’re into fine dining, you can end up spending a large chunk of your budget on food. Eating at the average restaurant geared towards tourists is the best way to have a meal in Bali on a budget. A good meal should cost you around 100,000 rupiah (around $7), but if you’re willing to subsist mostly off of local specialties such as nasi goreng (fried rice) and eat at local restaurants, you can expect to pay around 30,000 rupiah ($2) to get fed. Best of all, most hotels and guesthouses in Bali come with free breakfast, and many offer heavier options of noodles and meat that may keep you full until lunch.
1. Which of the following situation can be best described by the underlined word trade-off in paragraph 2?
A. Jack got a reward after he returned the lost bag to its owner.
B. Lily spent much money buying some handicrafts at the local fair.
C. Wendy cancelled her trip in order to prevent the spread of the virus.
D. Sam was scolded by his parents for what he did in school last night.
2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. It’s better for outdoor enthusiasts to visit Bali during the off season.
B. Passengers had better fix the price with drivers before the taxi pulls out from the station.
C. If on a tight budget, one is advised to visit Bali at the end of December every year.
D. It’s relatively economical to eat merely at average restaurants tailored to visitors.
3. In which column of a magazine can you most probably find this passage?
A. City and Transport. B. Travel and Recreation.
C. Nature and Environment. D. Food and Health.
【答案】1. C 2. D 3. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了三个去巴厘岛度假省钱的办法。
【1题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“This time of year isn’t always ideal for sunbathing, and serious rainfall can make outdoor activities, such as whitewater rafting and visiting waterfalls and rice terraces, less than appealing.(每年的这个时候并不总是日光浴的理想时间，而且严重的降雨会使户外活动，如漂流、参观瀑布和梯田，没有吸引力)”可知，价格下降的原因是雨季这一代价。划线词意为“代价”。故C选项“为了防止病毒的传播，温迪取消了她的旅行”最能描述画线词，温迪以失去旅行为代价，换取防止病毒传播。故选C。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Eating at the average restaurant geared towards tourists is the best way to have a meal in Bali on a budget.(要想在巴厘岛省钱，在一家面向游客的普通餐厅吃饭是最好的办法)”结合选项可知，在为游客量身定制的普通餐厅吃饭相对经济省钱。故选D。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s easy to assume that a vacation to Bali will cost a small fortune. There are plenty of accommodations, food and local transportation, and even the spas offer massages and treatments at value prices. However, you can easily spend a week or two in Bali for under $2,000, without having to sleep on the beach. Here are a few things to consider when planning Bali on a budget.(人们很容易认为去巴厘岛度假会花一大笔钱。这里有充足的住宿，食物和当地交通，甚至水疗中心提供合理价位的按摩和治疗。然而，你也可以花不到2000美元在巴厘岛度过一两个星期，甚至不用在海滩上睡觉。以下是在规划巴厘岛预算时需要考虑的一些事情)”结合文章主要介绍了三个去巴厘岛度假省钱的办法。可推知，你最可能在杂志的“旅游和娱乐”专栏里找到这篇文章。故选B。
B
Eliana Yi dreamed of pursuing piano performance in college, never mind that her fingers could barely reach the length of an octave (八度音阶). Unable to fully play many works by Romantic-era composers, including Beethoven and Brahms, she tried anyway — and in her determination to spend hours practicing one of Chopin’s compositions which is known for being “stretchy”, wound up injuring herself.
“I would just go to pieces,” the Southern Methodist University junior recalled. “There were just too many octaves. I wondered whether I was just going to play Bach and Mozart for the rest of my life.”
The efforts of SMU keyboard studies chair Carol Leone are changing all that. Twenty years ago, the school became the first major university in the U.S. to incorporate smaller keyboards into its music program, leveling the playing field for Yi and other piano majors.
Yi reflected on the first time she tried one of the smaller keyboards: “I remember being really excited because my hands could actually reach and play all the right notes,” she said. Ever since, “I haven’t had a single injury, and I can practice as long as I want.”
For decades, few questioned the size of the conventional piano. If someone’s hand span was less than 8.5 inches — the distance considered ideal to comfortably play an octave — well, that’s just how it was.
Those who attempt “stretchy” passages either get used to omitting notes or risk tendon (腱) injury with repeated play. Leone is familiar with such challenges. Born into a family of jazz musicians, she instead favored classical music and pursued piano despite her small hand span and earned a doctorate in musical arts.
A few years after joining SMU’s music faculty in 1996, the decorated pianist read an article in Piano and Keyboard magazine about the smaller keyboards. As Leone would later write, the discovery would completely renew her life and career.
In 2000, she received a grant to retrofit a department Steinway to accommodate a smaller keyboard, and the benefits were immediate. In addition to relieving injury caused by overextended fingers, she said, it gave those with smaller spans the ability to play classic compositions taken for granted by larger-handed counterparts.
Smaller keyboards instill many with new confidence. It’s not their own limitations that have held them back, they realize; it’s the limitations of the instruments themselves. For those devoted to a life of making music, it’s as if a cloud has suddenly lifted.
4. What is the similarity between Eliana Yi and Carol Leone?
A. Their interest in jazz extended to classical music.
B. Short hand span used to restrict their music career.
C. They both joined SMU’s music faculty years ago.
D. Romantic-era composers’ music was easy for them.
5. Why did SMU initiate an effort to scale down the piano?
A. To reduce the number of octaves.
B. To incorporate Bach into its music program.
C. To provide fair opportunities for piano majors.
D. To encourage pianists to spend more hours practicing.
6. How did Yi probably feel when she played the retrofitted piano?
A. Confident. B. Frustrated. C. Challenging. D. Determined.
7. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Who Qualifies as an Ideal Pianist?
B. Traditional or Innovative Piano?
C. Hard-working Pianists Pays off
D. The Story behind Retrofitted Pianos
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了南方卫理公会大学的音乐系教授Carol Leone如何引入小钢琴键盘来改变钢琴教育的现状和Eliana Yi使用小钢琴键盘的经历。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Eliana Yi dreamed of pursuing piano performance in college, never mind that her fingers could barely reach the length of an octave (八度音阶).( Eliana Yi在大学时梦想着从事钢琴演奏，尽管她的手指几乎达不到一个八度音程的长度。)”以及第二段中““I would just go to pieces,” the Southern Methodist University junior recalled. “There were just too many octaves. I wondered whether I was just going to play Bach and Mozart for the rest of my life.”(“我会崩溃，”这位南卫理公会大学的大三学生回忆说。“八度太多了。我想知道我的余生是否只会演奏巴赫和莫扎特。”)”以及第六段中“Leone is familiar with such challenges. Born into a family of jazz musicians, she instead favored classical music and pursued piano despite her small hand span and earned a doctorate in musical arts.( Leone Leone对这些挑战很熟悉。她出生在一个爵士音乐家的家庭，但她更喜欢古典音乐，并且尽管她的手指距离较小，她还是选择了追求钢琴，并获得了音乐艺术博士学位。)”可知，短手距限制了她们的音乐事业，这是Eliana Yi和Carol Leone之间的相似之处。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Twenty years ago, the school became the first major university in the U.S. to incorporate smaller keyboards into its music program, leveling the playing field for Yi and other piano majors.( 20年前，该校成为美国第一所将小型键盘纳入音乐课程的主要大学，为Yi和其他钢琴专业的学生创造了公平的竞争环境。)”可知，SMU将将小型键盘纳入音乐课程是为Yi和其他钢琴专业的学生创造了公平的竞争环境。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Smaller keyboards instill many with new confidence. It’s not their own limitations that have held them back, they realize; it’s the limitations of the instruments themselves. (更小的键盘给许多人注入了新的信心。他们意识到，阻碍他们前进的不是他们自身的局限；这是仪器本身的局限性。)”可知，当她弹奏这架改装过的钢琴时，她感觉到非常有信心。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，文章主要讲述了南方卫理公会大学的音乐系教授Carol Leone如何引入小钢琴键盘来改变钢琴教育的现状。过去，人们对于传统钢琴的尺寸几乎没有质疑，导致手指长度不够的人无法舒适地演奏八度音阶。然而，通过引入小钢琴键盘，这些人可以更轻松地演奏，并且不再受到手指过度伸展而导致的伤害。这一改变不仅让那些手指长度较短的人有了更多的机会演奏经典作品，也给他们带来了新的信心和动力。D选项“The Story behind Retrofitted Pianos(改装钢琴背后的故事)”概括文章主要内容。故选D。
C
The urgency and importance of Covid-19 over (he past year have driven almost everything else from most leaders5 minds. But since the vaccine is kicking in, Britain's government is once again beginning to think about the things that will matter later. Next week, it is expected to publish a 'plan for growth“ to boost productivity, with innovation at its centre.
The world may be on the point of a technological boom with life sciences, at which Britain excels. Innovation is crucial to productivity, but on this front Britain's performance has lagged behind its competitors' in recent years. Its low spending on Research and Development (R&D) argues for a boost. Those who attributed the financial failure in the 1970s to the insufficiency of research funds may regard this as a threat to economic growth. Promoting innovation can quickly (um into an exercise in picking winners - or, as is more often the case, losers.
A second danger is that policy agendas get mixed up. The government has promised to "level up” poorer areas of the country, so deprived towns are campaigning for more money for their universities. But trying to boost innovation by sending money to weak institutions is likely to make our leading universities lose their advantages, thus producing average ideas that could have been remarkable. Britain's research-funding system has always been elitist(精英主义的). It should stay that way.
The government's first move in boosting innovation was the announcement of a plan for an Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA). ARlA's purpose is to fund high-risk, high-reward research. But money is not all that mailers. The successful translation of life science research into treatments during the pandemic suggests some inexpensive measures that can also make a difference.
One is to speed up governmental processes. The rapidity with which Britain's medical regulator moved during the pandemic is one reason why the vaccine rollout is racing through the population. Urgency is not unique lo pandemics. Getting things done quickly can make an investment worthwhile and determine where a businessman chooses as a base.
Another useful measure the government should use is its unique ability to overcome barriers. At the beginning of the pandemic. Covid-19 researchers were unable to gain access to different strands of health service data. The government eased restrictions on existing data and allowed researchers to ask people who had tested positive tor Covid-19 to join trials. Both were crucial to the effort.
A last principle is the value of connections between the government and the private sector. Kate Bingham a venture capitalist who led the vaccine-purchase effort, understood how to deal with drug companies. Many of the civil servants working with her had commercial experience. The governments closeness to business during the pandemic has been criticized. But without it, the vaccine effort would not have succeeded.
Innovation took human beings from caves to computers. Good education, a welcoming immigration policy and a friendly business environment will do most to tend it. But a new sensible principles can help keep the flame burning.
8. What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Investing insufficient money in innovation. B. Promoting innovation in technology.
C. Applying science results to practical uses. D. Distributing funds to weak institutions.
9. What's the possible consequence of the British government's attempt to "level up'' poorer areas?
A. Britain's research-funding system will remain elitist.
B. Weak institutions are more likely to produce remarkable results.
C. The outstanding universities will be unable to exhibit remarkable ideas.
D. Both poor and rich areas in the country will develop in a balanced way.
10. What can be inferred from the three principles put forward by the writer?
A. A businessman is more willing to set up business where governments show high efficiency.
B. The administrative abilities are so unique to the government that they actually yield little fruit.
C. The government ceased the cooperation with private sectors for the criticism they had received.
D. The rollout of the vaccine was made possible mainly because the public responded quickly.
11. What's the best title of the passage?
A. How Governments Fuel the Sparks of Innovation
B. Why the Brits Struggle in the Tech Race
C. How Governments Benefit from Innovation
D. What People Gain with the Light of Technology
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述了英国政府预计并以创新为中心，发布“增长计划”以提高生产力，并着重介绍了创新应该遵守的原则。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。由第二段“Those who attributed the financial failure in the 1970s to the insufficiency of research funds may regard this as a threat to economic growth.”（那些将70年代的金融失败归因于研究资金不足的人可能将其视为对经济增长的威胁。）由文中这些人归因于资金不足，可知this指代研究资金不足。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段“But trying to boost innovation by sending money to weak institutions is likely to make our leading universities lose their advantages, thus producing average ideas that could have been remarkable.”（推行该政策，贫穷的城镇为他们的大学争取更多的资金，但是试图通过向弱势机构捐款来促进创新，这可能会使我们的领先大学失去优势，产出那些本可以卓越的普通想法。）可知，英国政府推行此政策，一些领先大学会失去自身的优势，也就是C项“大学无法展示出卓越的思想”。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第五段可知，“One is to speed up governmental processes. The rapidity with which Britain's medical regulator moved during the pandemic is one reason why the vaccine rollout is racing through the population. ”（大流行期间，英国医疗监管机构迅速采取行动，是疫苗快速普及的原因之一。）可知，D项“之所以能够推出这种疫苗，主要是因为公众反应迅速。”故D说法不对。后半句“Getting things done quickly can make an investment worthwhile and determine where a businessman chooses as a base. ”（快速完成工作可以使您值得投资，并确定商人选择作为基地的位置），所以效率高的地方更值得投资。A项“商人更愿意在政府表现出高效率的地方开展业务”。A说法符合题意。由文章倒数第二段“The governments closeness to business during the pandemic has been criticized. But without it, the vaccine effort would not have succeeded.”（ 大流行期间政府与商业的亲密关系受到了批评。但是，如果没有它，疫苗工作将不会成功。政府和商业进行了合作。）可知政府和商业进行了合作，故C不对。低六段“The government eased restrictions on existing data and allowed researchers to ask people who had tested positive tor Covid-19 to join trials. Both were crucial to the effort.”（政府放宽了对现有数据的限制，并允许研究人员参加对Covid-19呈阳性反应的人试验。 两者对于这项工作都是至关重要的。政府的能力在疫情期间是值得肯定的，所以B项“政府的行政能力是如此独特，以至于实际上他们收效甚微。”说法不正确。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第一段“Next week, it is expected to publish a 'plan for growth“ to boost productivity, with innovation at its centre.”（下周，预计将发布“增长计划”以提高生产力，并以创新为中心。以及下文提到的原则。）可知，还有最后一段Good education, a welcoming immigration policy and a friendly business environment will do most to tend it. But a new sensible principles can help keep the flame burning.（良好的教育，热情的移民政策和友善的商业环境将最有助于实现这一目标。但是新的明智原则可以帮助保持火焰燃烧。）可知，全文主要讲创新的原则，应该怎么激发创新，故选A项。
D
A handshake seems to be a normal gesture. In fact, in the 9th century BC, an ancient site during the ruling of Shalmaneser III clearly shows two figures holding hands. The Iliad, usually dated to the 8th century BC, mentions that two characters “taking each other’s hands and expressing their loyalty.” Centuries later, Shakespeare once wrote of two characters who shook hands and swore to be brothers in the book As You Like It. Shaking hands seems to be an ancient custom whose roots have disappeared in the sands of time.
Historians who have studied ancient etiquette (礼仪) books note that the modem handshake did not appear until the middle of the 19th century, when it was considered a slightly inappropriate gesture that could only be used between friends. But what if Shakespeare had written about handshaking hundreds of years earlier?
According to author Torbjdm Lundmark in his Tales of Hi and Bye: Greeting and Parting Rituals Around the World. the problem comes in differing definitions of the handshake. The early handshakes mentioned above were part of making deals or peace; King Shalmaneser III referred to a rebellion in which he signed a treaty with the King of Babylon. In the Iliad, Diomedes and Glaucus shook hands when they realized they were guest-friends, and Diomedes declared: 66Lefs not try to kill each other. Shakespeare was similarly referencing settlement of a conflict.
The modern handshake as a form of greeting is harder to trace. As a Dutch sociologist Herman Roodenburg — the chief authority for the history of handshaking ——wrote in a chapter of an anthology called A Cultural History of Gesture, “More than in any other field, that of the study of gesture is one in which the historian has to make the most of only a few clues”.
One of the earliest clues he cites is a 16th-century German translation of the French writer Rabelais’s Gargantua and Pantagruel. When one character meets Gargantua, Rabelais writes, ”He was greeted by countless hugs and countless good days.” But according to Roodenburg, the 16th-century German translation added references to shaking hands.
A popular saying suggests that Cleland’s statements against bowing were actually a wish to go back to a potentially traditional method of greeting in Europe. As the centuries progressed, handshaking was replaced by more hierarchical (等级的)ways of greeting - like bowing. According to Roodenburg, handshaking survived in a few remote places, like in Dutch towns where some would use the gesture to make peace after disagreements. Around the same time, those who valued equality also made use of handshaking. Then, as the Continent’s hierarchy was weakened, handshaking became a common practice among people of the same rank, as it is today.
12. Why does the author mention Shakespeare in the first two paragraphs?
A. To prove that the history of handshaking is hard to find.
B. To illustrate that handshaking is a very old custom.
C. To show readers that handshaking is common in fiction.
D. To explain the value of handshaking in communication.
13. What can we learn about handshaking from the passage?
A. The origin of handshaking as a form of greeting is easy to trace.
B. Citizens usually shake hands to show friendliness in Holland.
C. It was used only between friends and to reach an agreement.
D. It is a common practice between people of different social positions.
14. Which of the following is similar in meaning to “anthology” in Para. 4?
A. the science of mental ability
B. a collection of selected literary passages
C a daily written record of experiences
D. all the living things of a particular region
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph of the passage?
A. The handshake has disappeared in some remote parts of the Netherlands.
B. Handshaking has different meanings in different European countries.
C. Handshakes are now common between people of different positions.
D. Most Europeans prefer to shake hands owing to the weakening effect of rank.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，这篇文章主要讲述了握手这一古老的礼仪习俗的起源和演变。最后，文章指出握手在欧洲逐渐被鞠躬等更具等级意味的问候方式取代，但在一些地方仍然保留下来，并逐渐成为同等地位人们之间的常见问候方式。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Centuries later, Shakespeare once wrote of two characters who shook hands and swore to be brothers in the book As You Like It. Shaking hands seems to be an ancient custom whose roots have disappeared in the sands of time.(几个世纪后，莎士比亚曾在《皆大欢喜》中描写两个人物握手并发誓要成为兄弟。握手似乎是一种古老的习俗，其根源已消失在时间的长河中。)”以及第二段中“But what if Shakespeare had written about handshaking hundreds of years earlier?(但是，如果莎士比亚早在几百年前就写过握手呢？)”可知，第一段和第二段中通过莎士比亚对于握手这个习俗早已存在，其存在根源消失在历史的长河中，但是通过莎士比亚笔下可以说明握手是这个习俗是非常古老的，在其存在的几百年前，就已经记录过。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Historians who have studied ancient etiquette (礼仪) books note that the modem handshake did not appear until the middle of the 19th century, when it was considered a slightly inappropriate gesture that could only be used between friends.(研究古代礼仪书籍的历史学家指出，现代握手直到19世纪中叶才出现，当时它被认为是一种稍微不合适的手势，只能在朋友之间使用。)”可知，对于握手这个习俗直到19世纪中叶才出现，当时它被认为是一种稍微不合适的手势，只能在朋友之间使用。同时根据第四段中“The early handshakes mentioned above were part of making deals or peace(上面提到的早期握手是达成协议或和平的一部分)”以及“Shakespeare was similarly referencing settlement of a conflict.(莎士比亚也同样提到了冲突的解决。)”可知，握手曾经只在朋友之间使用，并且用来达成协议。故选C。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词后面的内容“A Cultural History of Gesture(手势的文化史)”以及“More than in any other field, that of the study of gesture is one in which the historian has to make the most of only a few clues(在手势研究领域，历史学家只需要充分利用少数线索，这一点在其他任何领域都不常见)”可知，荷兰社会学家赫尔曼·卢登堡所撰写的著作即《手势的文化史》中的一个章节指出在手势研究领域，历史学家只需要充分利用少数线索，这一点在其他任何领域都不常见的事实。故划线词表示荷兰社会学家赫尔曼·卢登堡所撰写文章的精选的文学段落，其与B为同义词。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Around the same time, those who valued equality also made use of handshaking. Then, as the Continent’s hierarchy was weakened, handshaking became a common practice among people of the same rank, as it is today.(大约在同一时期，那些重视平等的人也会使用握手。然后，随着欧洲大陆的等级制度被削弱，握手成为同一等级的人之间的一种普遍做法，就像今天一样。)”可知，大多数欧洲人更喜欢握手，因为等级的影响越来越弱。故选D。

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Across Asia many people have just witnessed the natural wonder that is a total solar eclipse. ___16___
This week’s total eclipse could be seen in eastern India before slowly moving across Burma, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, Japan, and the Pacific Ocean. Yesterday, when it reached eastern China, people flocked (聚集)into the streets to witness the astronomical wonder.
As daylight disappeared and the sky quickly darkened. ___17___ Cities such as Shanghai were plunged into (陷入) darkness during what is thought to be the longest total eclipse of the 21st century. It lasted 6 minutes and 39 seconds.
Total solar eclipses of such a long duration are very rare events. ___18___ Shao Zhenyi, an astronomer at the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory in China explained: “We’ll have to wait a few hundred years for another opportunity to observe a solar eclipse that lasts this long? so it’s a very special opportunity. ‘‘
But while millions celebrate this phenomenon, it should be remembered that total eclipses have not always been such treasured events.

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了此次21世纪最长日全食的情况，整个日全食过程持续了6分39秒。如此长时间的日全食是非常罕见的事件，想要再次看到可能还得等上几百年。还介绍了历史上人们对于日全食的不同看法。
【16题详解】
根据上文Across Asia many people have just witnessed the natural wonder that is a total solar eclipse.可知亚洲各地的许多人刚刚目睹了日全食这一自然奇观。由此可知，上文提到了日全食的景象，本句应当是说明这一现象发生的原因。故G选项“当太阳、月球和地球排成一条直线时，我们看到的太阳完全被月球遮住了，日全食就发生了”符合语境，故选G。
【17题详解】
根据后文Cities such as Shanghai were plunged into (陷入) darkness during what is thought to be the longest total eclipse of the 21st century. It lasted 6 minutes and 39 seconds.可知在这场被认为是21世纪持续时间最长的日全食中，上海等城市陷入了黑暗之中。整个过程持续了6分39秒。由此可知，这次日全食是21世纪持续时间最长的，所以那些观看日全食的人不会失望。故C选项“那些观看的人远远没有失望”符合语境，故选C。
【18题详解】
根据后文Shao Zhenyi, an astronomer at the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory in China explained: “We’ll have to wait a few hundred years for another opportunity to observe a solar eclipse that lasts this long? so it’s a very special opportunity.”可知中国上海天文台的天文学家邵振义解释说:“我们必须等待几百年才能有机会观测到持续这么久的日食。所以这是一个非常特殊的机会。”由此可知，再次看到这么久的日食需要等待几百年，所以这是一生只有一次的机会。故B选项“一生只有一次”符合语境，故选B。
【19题详解】
根据后文Others believed that the eclipse signified oncoming disasters.可知另一些人认为日食预示着即将到来的灾难。由此可知，本句与后文都是在说明人们对这一现象的看法，其中D选项中some可与后文others构成对应，some…others…“一些人……另一些人……”。故D选项“有些人相信邪恶的神正在吃太阳”符合语境，故选D。
【20题详解】
根据上文Reflecting on what had just happened, one Shanghai resident described the eclipse as “eerie”(怪诞的，奇异的), while another said “It’s like magic, the day turns into night in such a short period of time. I have no idea where I am right now.可知在反思刚刚发生的事情时，一位上海居民形容日食“可怕”，而另一位说“这就像魔术一样，在这么短的时间内白天就变成了黑夜。我不知道我现在在哪里。”由此可知，本句承接上文说明，日食给人一种进入了不同世界的感觉。故A选项“感觉就像进入了一个不同的世界”符合语境，故选A。

【21题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意：但阅读似乎是个例外，越来越多的证据表明，写作也有类似的模式。A. distinction 差别；区别；B. exception 例外；C. objection 发对；D. limitation 限制。上文“Scientists generally agree that boys and girls are psychologically more alike than they are different. ”表明，科学家们认为，男孩和女孩在心理上是更相似的。此句与上句转折，说明此处要表达的是男孩与女孩不相似的的方面——阅读，也就是说阅读是一个例外，故选B。

【25题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意：他说：“看上去写作任务上的性别差异被极大的低估了，尽管我们在教学方法的改进方面做出了最大的努力，但随着时间的推移，该差异似乎并未渐渐减小。”A. underestimated 低估；B. overemphasized 过多强调；C. underrepresented 代表不足；D. justified 证明……正确。结合上题分析可知，人们普遍认为男孩和女孩在上小学时认知能力相同，而研究却表明男孩和女孩在读写方面是有差异的，所以此处表达是这种差异是被低估的，故选A。
【26题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意：参见上题。A. increasing 增加；B. promoting 促进；提升；C. accepting 接受；D. reducing 减少。根据此句中的介词“尽管”以及句意，可知，此处要表达尽管在教学方法改进方面做了最大的努力，但是差异并没有减少，故选D。

【29题详解】
考查名词/形容词词义辨析。句意：为了调查美国男孩和女孩的读写水平的差异，研究小组研究了30多年来在国家教育进展评估中收集的数据。A. literacy 读写能力；B. literary 文学的；C. academic 学术的；D. cognitive 认知的。根据文章第一段“Girls are better at reading and writing than boys as early as fourth grade, according to a study, and the gap continues to widen until senior year.”可知，早在四年级，女生的阅读和写作能力就比男生强，所以此处表达的是为了调查男孩和女孩的读写水平的差异，此空是名词作定语，故选A。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When my husband Randy died in late fall, deciding what to do with his garden was way down on the list of necessary tasks. During the first few months, I cried with our daughters, planned a memorial, cried with my family, celebrated a quiet Thanksgiving, and panicked over not having bought Christmas presents.
As the calendar turned to a new year, the often rainy days and long nights deepened my sorrow. I found myself exhausted at the end of February, both physically and mentally.
Then the daffodils bloomed (开花) in the garden.
Years before, Randy had planted dozens of these lemon-yellow flowers. To him, they served as a reminder of hope, a promise that light and warmth would soon replace cold and dark. Looking at those dauffodils, I thought about how Randy had considered our garden a living work of art, carefully choosing plants so we’d see new blooms every month.
Then I noticed all the weeds that had taken root and spread everywhere. The neglect (疏于打理) showed, for Randy’s illness had lasted a couple of years, a time when he didn’t have energy for yard work the way he had before.
Faced with the neglected garden, I felt overwhelmed in the beginning. My daughters suggested I hire a service to clean everything up. I didn’t respond.
Every time I sat in the garden alone, the memories of the lively garden came flooding, like the numerous scenes in an unforgettable film. Many days Randy came home from work, changed into old clothes, and headed out the door to mow or prune (修剪). Orange dragonflies followed him around the yard as he worked. Honeybees buzzed among the flowers, birds sang beautiful songs, and gentle breezes carried the sweet smell of dirt. No matter how cold or wet it was, the fresh air and physical activity made him energized and refreshed. For Randy, the work was quiet and comforting, which was a relief, as well as a pleasure.

Weeks later, my daughters returned to visit me.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 The days grew warmer and lighter, and I started the work myself. I realized I need to take care of the garden just like what Randy did before. Randy used to treat the garden as a living work of art. If he were alive, he wouldn’t be happy to see the garden in a mess. Therefore, I needed to take care of the garden just like what Randy did. I started weeding, watering and looking after the daffodils. It seemed like to me working in the garden was a way to commemorate Randy.
Weeks later, my daughters returned to visit me. She was very surprised at what she saw. Orange dragonflies were flying around the yard. Honeybees buzzed among the flowers and birds sang beautiful songs. She used to be worried I would be in a bad mood. But now she realized everything was in a good order. Seeing this, she said it looks as if her father was always with us.
